Rising junior Ivan Rabb gunning for the No. 1 spot in 2015
Many high school players go into the July live recruiting period with goals of earning scholarship offers or perhaps breaking into the top 100 of the rankings. When you're the No. 2 junior in the 247Sports Composite rankings, though, things are a little different.
Ivan Rabb is aiming a little bit higher than the normal 2015 prospect.
"I want to show everybody that I am the best player in the country," Rabb said. "Just go out there and play every game, and play my game. Rebound the basketball, defend, score inside.
"I just think I am. It's just confidence. I just put up numbers every game."
The 6-foot-10 power forward from Bishop O'Dowd (Calif.) averaged 12.9 points and 11.2 rebounds during the EYBL regular season, with the latter number good enough to rank in the top 10 on the circuit. Aside from one game at the Peach Jam in which Rabb only played five minutes, he averaged 11.5 points and 11.5 rebounds.
"When I get going, I can get a shot over anybody," Rabb said. "I just have to be focused on scoring and not worry about what anyone else is saying. Just play."
Rabb has offers from California, Arizona, UNLV, Kansas, North Carolina, NC State, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Washington State, USC and UCLA, while Louisville, Duke and Georgetown are beginning to enter the picture.
He said Cal, Arizona, North Carolina and NC State are coming at him the most.
"Those four schools, I just like that they're recruiting me hard," Rabb said. "I've seen all of them play. They all like to get out and run. They all have shooters, and they all have bigs."
He hasn't taken too many trips yet, but he did go unofficially to California and Stanford because of their proximity to his home.
"I like them because they're both real big academic schools," Rabb said. "They have nice campuses, and they both have pretty good basketball programs."
The next big thing from the vaunted Oakland Soldiers AAU program isn't anywhere close to making a decision, and he doesn't even have plans to trim his list anytime soon. It's understandable, of course, as Rabb is only a rising junior and can only see his recruitment grow.
With that said, he does have an idea of what he's looking for in a school.
"Academics have to be good because not everybody is going to go to the NBA. I want to make sure I get a good degree, in business most likely," Rabb said. "Basketball-wise, I just want to have a school that can run and gun but also has a potent half-court offense that can score most of the time down the floor."
Rabb is expected to play for the USA West team at the Nike Global Challenge this weekend.

ABSTRACT: Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, Upshaw-Schulman syndrome, ADAMTS13 Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), also known as Upshaw-Schulman syndrome, is a rare recessively inherited disease. Underlying is a severe constitutional deficiency of the von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease, ADAMTS13, due to compound heterozygous or homozygous mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene. The clinical picture is variable and more and more patients with an adult-onset are diagnosed. In the majority of countries the only available treatment is plasma, which when administered regularly can efficiently prevent acute disease bouts. The decision to initiate regular prophylaxis is often not easy, as evidence based guidelines and long term outcome data are lacking. Through the hereditary TTP registry (www.ttpregistry.net, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01257269), which was initiated in 2006 and is open to all patients diagnosed with Upshaw-Schulman syndrome and their family members, we aim to gain further information and insights into this rare disease, which eventually will help to improve clinical management of affected patients.Hamostaseologie 05/2013; 33(2):138-143.

Article: The Oklahoma thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-haemolytic uraemic syndrome Registry A model for clinical research, education and patient care[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Oklahoma Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura-Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (TTP-HUS) Registry has a 24 year record of success for collaborative clinical research, education, and patient care. This article tells the story of how the Registry began and it describes the Registry's structure and function. The Registry provides a model for using a cohort of consecutive patients to investigate a rare disorder. Collaboration between Oklahoma, United States and Bern, Switzerland has been the basis for successful interpretation of Registry data.Registry data have provided new insights into the evaluation and management of TTP. Because recovery from acute episodes of TTP has been assumed to be complete, the increased prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, depression, and death documented by long-term follow-up was unexpected. Registry data have provided opportunities for projects for students and trainees, education of physicians and nurses, and also for patients themselves. During our follow-up, patients have also educated Registry investigators about problems that persist after recovery from an acute episode of TTP. Most important, Registry data have resulted in important improvements for patient care.Hamostaseologie 01/2013; 33(2). DOI:10.5482/HAMO-12-10-0016 · 1.59 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: In immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), thrombocytopenia is a result of both increased platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production. In adults, the course is commonly chronic, but most patients never experience serious bleeding even with severe thrombocytopenia. In case series of consecutive adult patients identified at the time of diagnosis, the frequency of death from bleeding is low, < 1%. The goal of treatment is only to prevent bleeding, not to correct the platelet count to normal. All current treatments are designed to diminish the increased platelet destruction, either by immunosuppression or splenectomy. The frequency of death from complications of treatment is similar to the frequency of death from bleeding. Perhaps because of increasing recognition of both the infrequent occurrence of serious bleeding and the risks of immunosuppressive treatment and splenectomy, data from case series across the past 30 years suggest a trend toward less therapy and fewer splenectomies among patients with ITP. However treatment is necessary for patients with severe and symptomatic thrombocytopenia. Splenectomy remains the most effective treatment for ITP, with two-thirds of patients achieving durable complete remissions. Immunosuppressive agents, including rituximab and combinations of agents, may be less effective than splenectomy in achieving complete remissions and the remissions may also be less durable. New agents for patients with ITP are currently in development that enhance platelet production, rather than diminish platelet destruction. In preliminary reports, these agents have been effective in maintaining safe platelet counts in patients with chronic ITP that was refractory to splenectomy and other treatments.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 08/2006; 4(8):1664-72.

ABSTRACT: The function of blood platelets to prevent blood loss at injured sites in the vasculature depends largely on their capacity to adhere, aggregate, promote coagulation and secrete factors that induce vasoconstriction and recruit inflammatory cells. Produced in large numbers from megakaryocytes, platelets enter the circulation for 7-10 days primed to fulfill their hemostatic function. By 1970, thoughts were becoming well formulated concerning the involvement of platelets not only in hemostasis, but also in the pathogenesis of arterial thrombosis. By this timeframe, pioneering studies had also established many of the basic concepts of platelet biology. Physiologic agonists of platelet aggregation such as ADP, collagen and thrombin had already been identified. Protein cofactors including von Willebrand factor (VWF) and fibrinogen were known to be involved in platelet aggregation (1). However, in the background of these basic studies, the elegant morpholo- gical characterizations of platelets by investigators such as Jim White and Dorothea Zucker-Franklin were teaching us that that the two primary activities of platelets in thrombosis and hemostasis, that is adhesion and aggregation, were dependent upon as yet undescribed elements on the platelet membrane surface. It was also clear that this surface had procoagulant activity. While important studies had been initiated to study platelet membrane proteins, for example, the work in Graham Jamieson's laboratory to characterize peptide fragments of membrane proteins released by proteases (2-5), and the contri- butions of Ralph Nachman's laboratory on platelet membrane protein content (6,7), further progress in our understanding of thrombosis and hemostasis required defining the protein content of the platelet membrane surface and identifying specific proteins that were involved in platelet function. What follows is a story of collaborative research that began 30 years ago and has lasted across our careers. The ability to label platelet surface glycoproteins with radioisotopes and to solubilize them in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and separate them by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was an important advance that provided the basis for each of our projects. Using these techniques, each of us began with different perspectives and different goals. Our ideas all came together in 1975 at the meeting of the International Society for Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) in Paris. By that time we appreciated the complexity of the platelet membrane glyco- proteins and understood that they had important roles in platelet function, documented by their abnormalities in the congenital disorders, Glanzmann thrombasthenia and Bernard-Soulier syndrome. Many of the other early investiga- tors in this field are to be found in Fig. 1, a group photograph taken at am eeting held in San Antonio, Texas in 1983 to develop our book, Platelet Membrane Glycoproteins (Fig. 2) (8). But to tell the story of how the three of us arrived at this point requires that we begin again, each of us on our own.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 02/2006; 4(1):3-9.

Article: The incidence of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome: all patients, idiopathic patients, and patients with severe ADAMTS-13 deficiency.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Accurate estimates of the incidence of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are important to assess the resources required for current treatments as well as to anticipate the need to develop new treatments. Previous estimates have been indirect and have not reported data on patients with ADAMTS-13 deficiency. To determine the incidence of patients with TTP-hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in three categories: all patients with clinically suspected TTP-HUS, patients with idiopathic TTP-HUS, and patients with severe ADAMTS-13 deficiency. Incidence rates were estimated from the Oklahoma TTP-HUS Registry, analyzing all 206 consecutive patients from January 1, 1996 to June 30, 2004 who were treated with plasma exchange for their initial episode of clinically suspected TTP-HUS. ADAMTS-13 activity was measured in 186 (90%) of the 206 patients. The age-sex-race standardized annual incidence rates were 11.29 x 10(6) (95% CI: 9.70-12.88) for all patients with clinically suspected TTP-HUS; 4.46 x 10(6) (95% CI: 3.43-5.50) for patients with idiopathic TTP-HUS; and 1.74 x 10(6) (95% CI: 1.06-2.41) for patients with severe ADAMTS-13 deficiency (<5% activity). In all three categories, the incidence rates were greater for women and for blacks. For patients with severe ADAMTS-13 deficiency, the age-sex standardized incidence rate ratio of blacks to non-blacks was 9.29 (95% CI: 4.33-19.93). Accurate incidence rate estimates for all patients with clinically suspected TTP-HUS, idiopathic TTP-HUS, and TTP associated with severe ADAMTS-13 deficiency have been determined. The greater incidence among women and blacks is comparable with their increased risk for other autoimmune disorders.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 07/2005; 3(7):1432-6.

Article: Complications of plasma exchange in 71 consecutive patients treated for clinically suspected thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura‐hemolytic‐uremic syndrome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: With the increased frequency of diagnosis and improved survival of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic-uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS), the morbidity of plasma exchange (PE) treatment has become more important.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Data were prospectively collected on 71 consecutive patients referred to the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) for PE treatment for clinically suspected TTP-HUS from mid-1996 to mid-1999. Complications were defined as major or minor, and distinguished between those related to central venous catheter access or to the plasma.RESULTS: Twenty-one patients (30%) had 27 major complications, which caused two deaths. The major complications included 2 episodes of hemorrhage after subclavian line insertion (1 death), 1 pneumothorax requiring a chest tube, 12 systemic infections (1 death), 7 episodes of catheter thrombosis requiring removal of the central venous catheter, 2 episodes of venous thrombosis requiring anticoagulant treatment, 2 episodes of hypoxemia and hypotension, and 1 episode of serum sickness. Minor complications occurred in 22 additional patients (31%). Twenty-eight patients (39%) had no complications.CONCLUSIONS: The morbidity and mortality of catheter placement and PE are important considerations when PE treatment for clinically suspected TTP-HUS is anticipated.Transfusion 04/2002; 40(8):896 - 901.

ABSTRACT: Since idiopathic (immune) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in adults is usually a chronic condition with few spontaneous remissions, the goal of treatment is not cure, but to maintain a hemostatically safe platelet level. The indication for treatment should be based not merely on platelet counts, but also clinical indices of bleeding. Although most patients show good initial response to prednisone, the side effects of steroids limit this treatment. Currently, long-term management usually involves splenectomy. Since splenectomy has surgical risks and may also predispose the patient to sepsis, a clinical trial using anti-D (WinRho-SDR) has been performed to determine whether this treatment can safely delay or avoid the need for surgery. The use of WinRho may also reveal the occurrence of spontaneous remissions, a previously unrecognized subgroup of adults with chronic ITP.Blood Reviews 04/2002; 16(1):37-8.

ABSTRACT: Quinine-associated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS) is thought to be uncommon and to have a good prognosis. To describe the frequency, clinical features, and long-term outcomes of quinine-associated TTP-HUS. Case series. Hospitals in central-western Oklahoma. 225 consecutive patients with TTP-HUS, 1989-2000. Presenting features and clinical outcomes. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome was associated with quinine in 17 patients. Four patients died, and 7 survivors currently have chronic renal failure. Since 1 July 1995, 132 patients with clinically suspected TTP-HUS were explicitly asked about drug exposure. Fourteen (11%) had taken quinine, and 7 had taken other drugs associated with TTP-HUS. Neurologic abnormalities were as severe in patients with quinine-associated TTP-HUS as in the 118 patients who had not taken quinine. Quinine is a common cause of drug-associated TTP-HUS and can cause death and chronic renal failure. When the disorder is described as TTP-HUS rather than only as HUS, the severity of neurologic abnormalities and the occasional absence of renal failure are emphasized. If recurrent disease is to be prevented, clinicians must recognize quinine as a possible cause.Annals of internal medicine 01/2002; 135(12):1047-51. · 16.10 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Prompt recognition of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS) and initiation of plasma exchange treatment is critical as it substantially decreases mortality. Nevertheless, death and long-term complications remain common.

ABSTRACT: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS) is an inclusive term describing diverse syndromes of multiple etiologies with the common features of thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Other organ involvement, including renal failure, neurologic abnormalities, and gastrointestinal symptoms, is common. Adverse reactions to drugs increasingly are reported as a potential cause of TTP-HUS. More than 50 drugs and other substances have been associated with the development of TTP-HUS, but many case reports are difficult to interpret because there is uncertainty regarding the diagnosis of TTP-HUS and because there is uncertainty regarding the relation of drug exposure to the onset of TTP-HUS. A systematic analysis of reports of drug-associated TTP-HUS will be required to better understand the strength of clinical evidence linking drugs to the etiology of TTP-HUS. In this review, five drugs that have been the subject of the most and the most recent reports of drug-associated TTP-HUS are discussed: mitomycin C, cyclosporine, quinine, ticlopidine, and clopidogrel. The clinical features of TTP-HUS associated with these drugs are different, suggesting two principal mechanisms by which drugs may cause TTP-HUS: dose-related toxicity (mitomycin C, cyclosporine), and immune-mediated reaction (quinine, ticlopidine, clopidogrel). The role of plasma exchange is uncertain, but this treatment is appropriate because of the high mortality and morbidity of drug-associated TTP-HUS. Recognition of a drug-associated etiology in a patient with TTP-HUS is critical to avoid re-exposure and recurrent illness.Current Opinion in Hematology 10/2001; 8(5):286-93.

Article: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-like syndromes following bone marrow transplantation: an analysis of associated conditions and clinical outcomes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in patients following BMT are often uncertain and unsuccessful. To better understand the evaluation and management of these patients, we describe 17 patients treated with plasma exchange for a presumptive diagnosis of TTP following BMT during a 10 year period, 1989-1998. Because of the uncertainty of the diagnosis, these patients are described as having a 'TTP-like syndrome'. All 17 patients had received an allogeneic BMT. Comparison with the other 245 patients who had an allogeneic BMT during the same period demonstrated that patients with a TTP-like syndrome more frequently had unrelated and/or HLA-mismatched donors, and had also experienced more serious complications: grade III-IV acute GVHD and systemic bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Three months after the diagnosis of the TTP-like syndrome, only four of 17 patients (24%) were alive; currently only one patient survives. These data emphasize: (1) the diagnosis of TTP following BMT is uncertain because of the presence of multiple BMT-associated complications. (2) The outcome of patients with TTP-like syndromes following BMT is poor. (3) Urgent intervention with plasma exchange when TTP is suspected following BMT may not always be appropriate. Alternative explanations for the signs and symptoms should be considered and treated aggressively.Bone Marrow Transplantation 04/2001; 27(6):641-6. DOI:10.1038/sj.bmt.1702849 · 3.47 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic plasmapheresis may remove platelets as well as plasma. Unintentional platelet loss, if not recognized, may lead to inappropriate patient assessment and treatment. A patient with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS) is reported in whom persistent thrombocytopenia was interpreted as continuing active disease; thrombocytopenia resolved only after plasma exchange treatments were stopped. This observation prompted a systematic study of platelet loss with plasmapheresis. Data are reported on platelet loss during 432 apheresis procedures in 71 patients with six disease categories using three different instruments. Comparing the first procedure recorded for each patient, there was a significant difference among instrument types (P<0.001); platelet loss was greater with the Fresenius AS 104 (17.5%, N = 21) than with the COBE Spectra (1.6%, N = 26) or the Haemonetics LN9000 (2.6%, N = 24). With all procedures, platelet loss ranged from 0 to 71%. Among disease categories, platelet loss was greater in patients with dysproteinemias who were treated for hyperviscosity symptoms. Absolute platelet loss with the first recorded apheresis procedure, in the 34 patients who had a normal platelet count before the procedure, was also greater with the AS 104 (2.23 x 10(11) platelets) than with the Spectra (0.29 x 10(11) platelets) or the LN9000 (0.37 x 10(11) platelets). In 39 patients in whom data were collected on consecutive days, platelet removal by plasmapheresis correlated with a decreased patient platelet count (r = 0.40, P = 0.011). In these 39 patients, the platelet counts were significantly decreased at 24 hours (P = 0.002).Journal of Clinical Apheresis 02/2001; 16(2):55-60. · 1.58 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Quinine is universally used for the very common symptom of night leg cramps. Patients may not mention it among their medicines, since it is so commonly used and they regulate it themselves. A 68-year-old man suddenly developed extensive bleeding due to severe thrombocytopenia. The diagnosis was initially thought to be a recurrence of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) that had initially occurred in 1992 and had required splenectomy. Drug-induced thrombocytopenia was also considered, and he was told to stop all of his medicines. Only after three subsequent episodes of severe, symptomatic thrombocytopenia over the next four weeks did he say, upon repeat questioning, that he had continued to take quinine for night leg cramps. Even after a strict warning, he took another quinine tablet that evening, which triggered his fifth episode of severe thrombocytopenia, and confirmed the etiology of quinine-induced thrombocytopenia. The diagnosis thrombocytopenia caused by common drugs can be difficult, requiring persistent, explicit questions.The Journal of the Oklahoma State Medical Association 12/2000; 93(11):519-21.

ABSTRACT: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) are, in adults, clinically and pathologically indistinguishable except for the severity of renal failure. They are best described as a single disorder, TTP-HUS, because the diagnostic evaluation and initial management are the same. Treatment with plasma exchange, available for more than 20 years, has dramatically altered the course of disease in adults with TTP-HUS. Plasma exchange has improved survival rates from 10% to between 75% and 92%, creating urgency for the initiation of treatment. This has resulted in decreased stringency of diagnostic criteria, which in turn has resulted in a broader spectrum of disorders for which the diagnosis of TTP-HUS is considered. Long-term follow-up has revealed increasing frequencies of relapse and of chronic renal failure. Although the increased survival rate is dramatic and recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of these syndromes are remarkable, clinical decisions remain empirical. Therefore, the management decisions for patients with suspected TTP-HUS rely on individual experience and opinion, resulting in many different practice patterns. Multipractice clinical trials are required to define optimal management. (Blood. 2000;96:1223-1229)Blood 09/2000; 96(4):1223-9. · 10.43 Impact Factor

Article: Predictive value of compression ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis in symptomatic outpatients - Clinical implications of the site of vein noncompressibility[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Compression ultrasonography has a high negative predictive value for deep vein thrombosis in symptomatic outpatients. Limited data are available on factors influencing positive predictive value. The objective of this study was to evaluate the positive predictive value of compression ultrasonography according to the anatomic site of vein noncompressibility. We performed a prospective cohort study of 756 consecutive outpatients with suspected first-episode deep vein thrombosis. Compression ultrasonography was performed at the initial visit: results were abnormal if a noncompressible segment was identified or normal if all segments were fully compressible. Venography was performed in patients with abnormal compression ultrasonography results. Positive predictive value was determined according to the site of noncompressibility: common femoral vein only, popliteal vein only, or both sites. Venography was the reference standard for the presence of deep vein thrombosis. Positive predictive value was 16.7% (95% confidence interval, 0.4%-64.1%) for noncompressibility isolated to the common femoral vein compared with 91.3% (95% confidence interval, 72.0%-98.9%) for the popliteal vein only and 94.4% (95% confidence interval, 72.7%-99.9%) for both sites (P<.001). Of 15 patients with isolated noncompressibility of the common femoral vein, 8 (53%) had pelvic neoplasm or abscess compared with 2 (5%) of 42 with noncompressibility of the popliteal vein only and 6 (13%) of 47 with noncompressibility of both sites (P<.001). The positive predictive value of noncompressibility isolated to the common femoral vein is too low to be used alone as the diagnostic end point for giving anticoagulant therapy. Noncompressibility isolated to the common femoral vein is a diagnostic marker for pelvic disease.Archives of Internal Medicine 02/2000; 160(3):309-13.

Article: Drug-induced thrombocytopenia.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many drugs can induce thrombocytopenia mediated by drug-dependent antiplatelet antibodies. Recent studies have documented specific epitopes for drug-dependent antibody binding on glycoprotein Ib-IX, glycoprotein IIb-IIIa, and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1. Molecular identification of antibody binding sites may help to identify susceptible individuals. Management of patients with unexpected thrombocytopenia who are taking multiple drugs remains a difficult clinical problem. A recent systematic review of all published case reports of drug-induced thrombocytopenia ranks drugs according to the strength of clinical evidence for a causal relation to thrombocytopenia.

sparth - depot - custom shapes
i haven't posted for ages. and i guess it would be wise to open a new sketchbook on CA, where i'll be able to gather some of the latest stuff, as well as having a new spot to 2011.
the initial reason why i want to open that new sketchbook is because of several techniques i've found out and started using within photoshop, and that some of you could benefit in various ways. if i can use that sketchbook as a repository for all the findings, it will be all good, and i'll be able to come back to it easily.
we've been talking a lot with thom scholes about it, and we're still experimenting and pushing this thing forward.
also, kekai, as well as other artists and friends, have started messing with the technique. it's super exciting seeing stuff pop up that way.
i have no idea if people will all find it valuable, but i do, so i'll just share it.
so here's a bit of an explanation of that "new" process thing i have been developing these last weeks. call it "template paintings" or whatever you like
last year, while messing around in photoshop, i happened to fall on the custom shapes tool menu. and despite the fact i had trouble seeing anything useful in there, i still had that thought in mind: i could paint with my own shapes, if there was an easy way to vectorise my shapes.
for some reason, i did not go further and it remained an idea, mostly because i was too lazy trying to figure out how i could have one of my shapes transformed into vectors in a fast way.
then around two months ago i went back into that custom shapes menu. this time i went the other way around, i tried to find online if there were any fun and interesting shape packs that could have been valuable for anything concept design oriented. and i was shocked (well sort of). tons of templates, big and small, of animals, trees, walls, textures, bad stuff, patterns, water drops, logotypes. good stuff sometimes, bad stuff often. the thing is, these weren't particularly "concept art oriented", hence why i never figured out it could have been valuable to give it a try at a working pipeline based on these shapes.
so i went in photoshop, and found out that vectorizing a shape was STUPID TO MAKE. it just took two buttons. what a moron. (well it took me one hour the very first time though).
so i started vectorizing tons of shapes, and got the hang of it. slowly but surely. integrating the brush shape thing in my workflow. to the point now where there's not a single image not using custom shapes in a way or another.
i will add some tips later on. and i'll also upload shapes in order for you to understand better how powerful that thing is. i'm going to update it today so the sketchbook in itself is WIP.
for now, here's a bunch of artworks done with shapes.
i'll develop further on in another post.

so let me continue with that whole custom shape thing.
i'm actually cut and pasting extracts of conversation i have been having elsewhere, so i hope it still makes sense
a few notes:
- custom shapes being vertex based when applied, you never have size issues. you just apply them and it will always look good. true, it has never been a major issue with brushes except for tiny ones, but the end result with custom shapes is just "different". there's a different feel to it. i personally think it's extremely useful to compose, to start an image fast, without going straight into the photo bashing part.
- more important, it's the way you can tweak each shape horizontally and vertically, that makes the whole thing so fun. the way you apply custom brushes makes each stroke a random act that can look good, or bad. for custom shapes, the abstract factor remains whenever you play with superpositions, but the whole workflow just makes more sense. at least to me.
- since the end result, once applied, is either black or white with no shades of grey, you can go back to all the layers and select each elements super fast.
- you gotta give it a try yourself, but no matter the shape you use, the human eye tends to forget the seams as well as any repeating element. it's fascinating.
here's a brief 3 minutes description with an image, literally done in 3 minutes too. only 4 shapes used, with the horizontal flip. it's amazing how you could belive the whole thing has been done with a lot of time, and with a lot of tools/brushes.
the other thing i love is that shapes tend to create patterns that are graphically pleasing. they're not true rhythms, more like similar areas, but the eye, i think, is attracted by that type of visual philosophy. for example if you sketch a mountain with custom shapes, you will have a general pattern of shapes that will "look alike" without falling into repetition. i just think it makes a lot of sense design wise.

YESSSS - you are awesome, monsieur. Thanks a lot for sharing!
November 23rd, 2010 #4
concerning custom shapes, i thought it was mainly an illustrator thing at first. when i created a first shape at the very beginning i was a bit doubtful i could ever use it smartly. but the more you investigate into it, the more you see the potential. and the fun!
in order to create a custom shape in cs4 or cs5:
1 - create any b&w shape with a brush on a canvas.
2 - select it with the magic wand or whatever the method you prefer
3 - open the "path" window
4 - click on the "make work path from selection" button at the bottom
5 - go to the "edit" menu
6 - select "define custom shape"
and voila!
it took me two hours to do it the very first time. lol
other important notes:
- i actually do NOT apply the shape as a vector. it's called "shape layer" in the upper left side. this will create a new layer for each new stroke and it would be impossible to use. you have to click on the "fill pixels" feature in order to use the shape like you would use a custom brush. it's the most useful way, and the only one. and no need to rasterize the layer as a result.
- in order to better select some of these shapes, i often use the "cutout" filter. it works great and you can mess around and find tons of new shapes in a single image.
- it is not useful to have the same shape flipped horizontally in order to benefit from both sides. the best way is to have a keyboard shortcut for your flip horizontal, but i suppose all of you already did this right?
- when creating a new shape, the larger the pixel image, the better and more accurate your shape will b. it's often usefule to resize the image before creating the path.
- the "clear" layer mode allows you to erase things out of the layer afterwards. it makes a lot of sense with custom shapes. (thanks thom!!!)

Cool idea. I was playing a bit with custom shapes too and they are really powerful in vector form beacause can be warped into perspective without loosing quality. I never managed to organize it into smooth workflow though.
In case of blending super tight shapes with hand drawn stuff it was several times helpful to use Filter>Distort>Ripple to add some noise to the contours so that it's not so rough. You got it all very graphical so it works together well .
Hope to see more. They're all impressive.
November 23rd, 2010 #10
you are all very welcome!
i'll update as much as i can.
there's a lot to talk about.
i'll also try to post a tutorial if i can squeeze the time.

I like to call them Sparpes or Spapes.
(Sparth+Custom Shapes)
I'm really enjoying the ease of which you can have hard edged textures throughout the painting, something custom brushes aren't nearly as successful with.
Nic, I'm inspired. I suppose this snow day should be spent with some quality wacom time.

Many, many years ago, I was the Vocational Manager at San Diego Job Corps. There was not a restaurant that would rank over a "3"then, but times have really changed.
This past weekend I celebrated my $%th birthday. But the way I celebrated it was different than I thought it would be. My friend, "Cowboy" flew in from North Dakota to help me age. But he also had started building a solar panel over my flat roof the last time he was here because I kept complaining how cold my bedroom was during the day. He drew diagrams, checked different places on line for parts, and asked a question that triggered a memory from a few years past. I cannot tell you what that question was, but I knew where I could get the answer.
During the time I was at SDJC, we had an excellent Solar instructor teaching our students how to build and maintain solar panels. Over the years I called upon him to repair various problems I had with the electrical lines going to the house, and I knew that if I ever was in a bind I could call on him.
I put in a call to Randall Mann and he agreed to meet us and see if he could answer Cowboy's questions. He suggested that we meet at the "SEA 180º Coastal Tavern" because it was close to work and a nice place. And nice it was! Beautiful view, both from the inside and outside. [Read more…]

Another massively necessary high quality reissue of primo Peter Brotzmann material, this time 1975's classic Tschus. Here Brotzmann switches between clarinet, alto, tenor and bass sax and vocals while Fred Van Hove is on piano and accordion and Han Bennink uses drums, cymbals, accordion, clarinets, floors, walls, megaphones etc. It's a ferociously inventive set, a tour-de-force of the boundless possibilities of free improvisation rescued from the hands of musical conservatives, moving from vamping/rasping runs through triumphal brass work through rusty, proto-Industrial free form blow-outs. Simply fantastic, on 180g vinyl in a limited pressing and with gorgeous high-quality sleeves. Highly recommended.
Beautiful archival reissue of this classic document from this ferocious, short-lived trio led by saxophonist Peter Brotzmann: bassist Harry Miller and drummer Louis Moholo were key players in the South African free jazz diaspora. Miller played widely, jamming with everyone from King Crimson through Willem Breuker, and he was the founder of Ogun Records, another key artist-run independent free jazz label. Moholo was part of the legendary Blue Notes and the Brotherhood Of Breath and played with almost every interesting European free thinker. The combination of Brotzmann on bass clarinet, soprano, alto and tenor sax and the rollicking South African rhythm section was truly one of the greatest of Brotzmann's career and it's a tragedy that there aren't more recordings from this singular hook-up. It's not all balls-to-the-wall force by any means, Miller in particular was a very inquisitive player, sounding odd aspects of the bass and worrying tiny textural details that means Peter can really get into the exploration of this abstract sandpaper textures that he loves so much. And when they do take off, Moholo comes on like a goddamn freight train. Still a classic side, originally released on FMP in 1979, this beautifully restored edition comes in a run of 750 copies on 180g vinyl. Highly recommended!
Stunning double CD set that presents phenomenally powerful solo and trio live blow-outs from the Wildman of European free improvisation: both sets were recorded on consecutive days at the Victoriaville fest in 2011. The solo set is just gorgeous, re-connecting Brotzmann's thunderous saxophone style with the heart of the jazz tradition, moving from a glorious, weeping reading of "Never Too Late But Always Too Early" through to "Frames Of Motion" which features a lift from Harry Barris's "I Surrender Dear" and a stunning rendition of Ornette Coleman's classic "Lonely Woman". It's a true tour-de-force, by turns achingly emotional and explosively exhilarating. But it's the second set that really seals the deal. Here he's paired with two-thirds of the Hairy Bones quartet, drummer Paal Nilssen-Love and electric bassist Massimo Pupillo. Pupillo is on absolutely devastating form, propelling the group through a single seventy minute piece that barely relents, riding metal crescendos with alla the bombast and psychedelic steel of prime Fushitsusha. Brotzmann is absolutely in his element, riding the torrential percussive waves with a mile-wide tone and some of his most raucous and soulful testifying. Indeed this even outdoes the Last Exit live jams in terms of the ultimate marriage of ferocious free rock and wild fire music stylings, even outgunning The Blue Humans in terms of maximum velocity freedom. If you've ever dreamt of Peter Brotzmann fronting Fushitsusha (and who hasn't?!) then this is pretty much your dream date. At 71 years old Brotzmann has never sounded better and is making some of the most radical and sublime music of his lifetime. Can't possibly recommend this mind-blowing set enough, truly has to be heard to be believed!
Amazing limited release of a staggering live blow-out from the premier improvising big band of the era, Alex Von Schlippenbach's Globe Unity Orchestra: this is a wild combination of rollicking big band vamps and all-out brass blurt, dedicated to Evan Parker and recorded by Conny Plank in his studio in May 1975. The line-up is phenomenal, with the addition of Hans Reichel on supremely weirdo guitar as well as heavyweights like Peter Brotzmann, Manfred Schoof, Kenny Wheeler, Rudiger Carl, Evan Parker, Gerd Dudek, Albert Mangelsdorff, Paul Rutherford, Peter Kowald, Schlippenbach, Buschi Niebergall and Paul Lovens. An essential addition to the weirdo shelf of killer free jazz 7s, highly recommended.
A beautiful big band set from Brotzmann's late Chicago Tentet w/a tribute to the visionary poet/artist Kenneth Patchen: recorded in Chicago in 2004, this is a stand-out Tentet performance, alterrnating between massed weeping brass laments and joyous explosions of folk melody, bringing to life the odd happy/sad dynamic of Patchen's poetry and pictures. Mike Pearson reads from Patchen's work accompanied by factions of the group, running an umbilical all the way to Patchen's own readings with Charles Mingus. This is a real one-off in Brotzmann's catalogue, connecting with beat culture and playing in a way that feels closer to instant composition than free improvisation per see. Beautiful readings, magical settings, a phenomenal one-off – highly recommended!
Ass-whooping live set from the Full Blast trio, recorded in Cologne in 2006: Brotzmann's work with electric bassist Marino Pliakas and drummer Michael Wertmuller extends his work with Last Exit in that it combines an almost metal/No Wave attack with a fluid non-stop dynamic and a feel of electric blues. Brotzmann has always favoured electric bassists – Bill Laswell, Massimo Pupillo – and there's something about the unyielding aspect of the instrument that acts as a propulsive metal backbone for some of Brotzmann's most hurricane testifying. It's not all form destroying force – there are passages of sublime beauty, with Brotzmann's gentle, ballad style that crops up more often in his solo work given a new sense of epic scale by Pliakas and Wertmuller's time bombs – but it's when the trajectory of the trio is most in sync that the set really tears through the wall. If only Sonny Sharrock was still around to join them! Highly recommended.
Killer trio studio session, with Brötzmann forsaking the kind of sobbing mile-wide vibrato that dominates much of his work with Die Like A Dog for some viciously focussed beams of concrete noteage across tenor saxophone, tarogato and clarinet. The Scandinavian backline of electric bassist Nielsen and drummer Uuskyla nail it to the floor with the kind of rock/groove flex of the Last Exit and Purple Trap rhythm sections, giving the whole set a kind of Contortions/No Wave-style zag, while Brötzmann rounds on their asses like a PCP-huffing goat gobbling sherbet. Seven studio tracks and a bonus live blow-out recorded in Sweden in 2001.
Massive trio set from three of the heaviest modern reedists: Peter Brotzmann, Mats Gustafsson and Ken Vandermark: recorded live in Berlin in 2007, the set sees Brotzmann on tenor and alto sax as well as tarogato and b-flat clarinet, Gustafsson on baritone sax, fluteophone and slide-sax and Vandermark on tenor sax, baritone and b-flat clarinet. The music is oddly affecting, with the lack of any accompanying rhythm instruments giving it a loose, organic feel and an odd orchestral grandeur. Brotzmann plays with that mile-wide vibrato that became so distinctive later in his life and his soloing is particularly beautiful here, recalling the pained blues of Never Too Late But Always Too Early. Gustafsson and Vandermark are super inventive, and at points they push the music into a weird almost-Moondog style avant classical realm. But when the three players are blasting on all cylinders it feels like the heavy metal hallelujah choir blowing open the gates of heaven. Packaged with the jewel case inside a card slipcase, this is a beauty, recommended!
CD document of this outrageously high-energy date from Cafe Oto in August of 2013 that sees Brotzmann's amazing duo with vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz combined with his trio with UK heads John Edwards and Steve Noble to generate the kind of a-historical power-visions that would run an umbilical all the way back to the MJQ while formulating a real-time juggernaut dreaming the future. Adasiewaicz and Noble really do sound great together, with the vibes adding a certain alien musicality to Noble's punked/non-flowing approach to swing. Edwards was apparently wrestling with a broken in-house double bass and a faulty amplifier all night but this somehow only adds to the drama and breakneck invention, at points sounding like he has stepped inside the bass and is fighting his way back out. Brotzmann is on fiery, lyrical form, shredding reeds and chasing the sound to polyphonic peaks while moving between alto and tenor sax, clarinet and taragoto. A fitting 10th release for Cafe Oto's Ototroku imprint, with full colour offset print sleeves, very highly recommended!
One-sided art edition LP in a run of 99 copies, because of the handmade nature the corners are slightly dented. This one presents a bunch of disparate – and often barely recognisable - approaches to the work of Duke Ellington by powerhouse saxophonist Mats Gustafsson that range from soft, melodic re-thinks that squeeze spectral nuance from elastic melodic fragments through overloaded electronic assaults, the sound of syncopated valves and all-our grunt/thunder aggression. Gustafsson plays tenor sax and live electronics.
Stunning new LP/CD set from free European saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, dedicated to the memory of his late mentor the saxophonist Bengt Nordstrom: Nordstrom is best known for producing Albert Ayler's first recording, Something Different!!!!!!, and he was also a talented saxophonist, playing solo free improvised saxophone as early as 1962. For Bengt, Gustafsson moves to a plastic Grafton alto sax, the same one favoured by Nordstrom, making this a unique entry in his back catalogue. The sound is breathy, muted, with a soft muffled tone that sounds at points like Frank Lowe or Marion Brown and Gustafsson's playing is oddly lyrical, ripping through staggered scales and sounding single note fanfares in a way that is utterly compulsive. The rigour is still there, the deconstructive vision, but this one feels somehow more affirmative, a classic solo record in the mode of Braxton's For Alto and Kaoru Abe's Live At Gaya series. On white vinyl in an edition of 500 copies with a bonus CD edition of the album bundled alongside it. Highly recommended!
Killer live set from Thurston and Mats in an edition of 1000 copies: recorded live at London's Cafe Oto, Vi Ar Alla... takes of where Thurston's signal recording with Don Dietrich and Jim Sauter, Barefoot In The Head, left off, with Mats using reeds and electronics to demolish Thurston's wild, bass heavy divebombs. Indeed, the pair get into some major gravity-defying/gridlocked drone work, with the sound of overloaded amplifiers and air raid tones giving way to long passages of lyrical feedback and levitating horns. On 180g vinyl.

Women are more sensitive to cocaine"Human studies of cocaine dependence indicate that women enter drug treatment faster than men and report shorter cocaine-free periods," said scientist Kerry Kerstetter of the University of California, Santa Barbara. These and other observations indicate that human females are more sensitive to cocaine, have a greater cocaine craving and are more likely to relapse than men.

Female rats choose cocaine over foodTo explore this question in more depth, Kerstetter turned to lab rats. She trained rats to press a lever to get food and a different lever to get cocaine, then gave hungry rats a choice between the two levers. The hungry female rats chose the cocaine lever about half the time. But hungry male rats showed a definite preference for the food lever. The gender difference was statistically significant. "It appears that females are more likely than males to sacrifice food for low doses of cocaine," Kerstetter said.
Kerstettler then more than doubled the volume of cocaine delivered by pressing the cocaine lever. In this situation, both sexes chose cocaine more often. But female rats still preferred the drug more than the males did. Females chose cocaine over food 75 to 80% of the time, compared with less than 50% of the time for the males.
Female hormones may be responsibleNo one knows the reason for these gender differences yet. But Kerstettler believes that female hormones play a role. Female rats that had their ovaries removed after puberty behaved more like males, choosing food more frequently. Kerstettler and her colleagues believe female hormones may set up or regulate the response to cocaine in the brain.
Gender differences can guide treatment plansOn a practical note, Kerstettler and other neuroscientists believe that understanding gender differences can help individualize the treatment of cocaine addiction.

Originally written on Diamond Hoggers | Last updated 4/9/13
Everything is coming up Jay Bruce right now. Look at a couple of these ugly finders that counted for knocks today! Granted, Stan the Man probably didn't hit this many weak squibbers in his entire career; Bruce went into St. Louis in the Cardinals home opener and posted the sixth four-hit game of his career. He gets about one of these per season, so enjoy the following video montage: The Reds went into St. Louis–a place that usually serves as a house of horrors–and embarassed the Cardinals in their home opener on a day that their greatest player ever was being honored. When you paste a team 13-4 and score nine runs in the top of the ninth inning to seal it, you're a group that's intent on proving a point. Or just really good. Bruce is now over .300 on the season (.324). Still with a goose egg in the homer department while Justin Upton has um, six; but we will sign up right now for Bruce hitting only 20 homers if he can find a way to hit .300 on the year. I'm glad that with Mitchell ...

Sorry for the absence, I don't know, sometimes I just cannot blog to save my life, and that's how it's been. Nothing in particular stopping me, just busyness and lack of motivation! Over the past few weeks, we've been enjoying summer time. The best part about the kids not being in preschool is obviously not having to wake up as early. Only, oh yeah, my kids still wake up early. At least I don't have to drag them out the door quite so fast, though! Trevor is probably way ready for summer to end, however, since he now has the boys ALL day on his off days (two out of three days). They are very, very hyper children. They are in motion ALL OF THE TIME and climb everything. Including their father and the furniture (see below for evidence).
Knox's school situation is still up in the air. I believe we're going to do public school but choose a different transitional program than the initial one that was recommended. I just didn't feel good about it, so we are going to check out some other options in the next week or so, then call a new IEP meeting to nail down details. It still makes me want to have a heart attack to think about him going to kindergarten, but it's a milestone he has to reach, so that's that.
We are in the throes of potty training both kids, and KILL ME NOW over that. Knox is five and still not potty trained. He will pee every single time you take him to the potty but has yet to go #2 on the toilet. He also takes no initiative to go on his own, which is just awesome. Brody is three and needs to be potty trained by the fall. He, on the other hand, has already conquered going #2 on the toilet (last week!!), and I think he'll be significantly easier. We are using jumbo M&Ms as an incentive, but it seems that just using Pull-Ups isn't going to work- I think we're going to have to go full-out big boy underwear until it clicks for him. I just love having my kids pee all over the house and change their clothes 40 times a day. LOVE. IT. The other week, I had Knox in regular underwear and even though he insisted that he didn't need to pee, he decided to do so all over the couch. I know he did it out of spite because 1) he had just peed five minutes before and 2) he was livid that I took off his Pull-ups and made him wear big underwear. I'd say "Knox, let's wear big boy underwear!" He's say "No, little underwear." That kid is a mess.
I will literally pay someone $1,000 to come to my house and potty train my kids for me. Like, check in my hand, I'll write it (but don't tell Trevor). Why isn't this a thing? There should be professional potty training people- I bet they'd have a booming business. I, for one, would sign up in approximately one second within finding out about them.
So, hit me with your potty training wisdom- how the heck do you do this without losing your mind??
