Indanthrene / Indanthrone Blue
So I purchased a mixed bunch of series 4 oil paints (because it was a lot cheaper that way), but I'm unfamiliar with one of the colors: Indanthrene Blue (PB60).
So far I've been able to gather it's a semi-opaque blue/violet, but it doesn't appear to be an especially popular color since I haven't found a lot of info about it's uses online. So far the majority of info I find about it is regarding it as watercolor paint: http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/waterb.html.
So my question is: as a beginner, should I stash this one in a drawer or use it despite not really being able to find a lot of good advice on what to use it for?

I Was A Paddled Teen BoyI was regularly paddled as a teen. My mother used a paddle I had made for her. Being the only boy she had me make a paddle. She wanted a paddle like the teachers used in school. So I made a paddle out of 1/4" plywood, 18" long, 4" wide with a double row of holes. She used that paddle frequently on me and my sisters. It was applied directly to the seat of my cotton briefs or my sister's panties.
It wasn't brutal but it got the job done. I can say I never received a paddling that I didn't deserve. And she always told that she only spanked us because. she cared.
my mom had spank me an my sis all through teen years hairbrush
it was embarrasing early teen year for me since mom allways spank bare bottom but after few times the embarrasment went
I did not at the time , but looking back I used to enjoy going over my moms knee for a spanking !
how did you feel making that paddle? did she say she wanted to test it on you?
Did you feel betrayed by her since she wanted to try it out on you after you made it for her?
Did you tell her that?
Did you see your sister get her spanks?
Yeah I bet lol. Maybe you could write a story about that?
Wow I bet that was fun to watch. How did the girls react verbally and physically to that many paddle spanks and what did the one who was watching look like?
Did either of your sisters share your special fascination with paddlings?
Thanks great description.
At least you were able to maintain some modesty and not have to drop those underwear. I had to drop everything till I was 15 for paddlings. Were you ever paddled in school, I am sure they were over clothes. Did you ever get it bare bottom with underwear off after age 12?
My mom was vice-president of the mother's club at the all boys Catholic school I attended. She had the same paddle they used at the discipline office. It was 24'' long including a 12'' handle, about 5 1/2'' wide, 3/4 of 1'' thick, with three sets of 7 holes.

I still have the marks on my butt.
I bet that paddle hurt. Holes make it burn more especially on bare skin. Did your mom always spank on the bare? Until what age were you spanked onn the bare bottom? Did they spank bare bottom in school ever or over clothes?

text: Mizuno are known for making quality, classic, soft-feeling irons and the MP-54s tick all those boxes and more. The MP-54s look like a modern day blade with compact, stylish looks, but they offer a good degree of forgiveness for low single figure handicap players. More and more players are moving away from the classic-blade style, muscleback iron. Therefore the MP-54s will be suited to a wider range of players than previous MP irons. Mizuno are marketing the MP-54s with the tagline "Time to step up your shotmaking." Whilst this relates the Step Muscle Design, it is clear this is the key MP iron for Mizuno in 2014 and anyone from scratch to low double-digit handicaps could benefit from the MP-54s. At address the irons have an attractive chrome finish to a head that is slightly longer than the MP-4 blades. Subtly, the profile of the head is quite large, especially in the shorter iron, and offers plenty of confidence at address that the MP-54s will offer a little bit of help on off-centre strikes. The topline may appear thin at address, but clever bevelling from Mizuno has created this look. Mizuno's craftsmen have added a matte-finish to the topline, which means that the chrome-finished, bevelled area behind the topline is barely visible at address. What this does is create a more forgiving iron with a profile that is still very much "better-player." A great example of the level of detail and craftsmanship Mizuno value in their MP irons. Right through the set the MP-54s offer just enough forgiveness from the compact head. The perimeter weighting and progressive muscle design send the ball on a higher flight than most might expect and prevents any "stingy hands" from off-centre hits. The cavity in the back of the head is there to offer forgiveness and decreases in size as you down through the set from 3 to 7 irons and then it is closed up from 8 irons to PW. The irons below are from the left PW, 7 and 4 iron. The pocket cavity of the 3 to 7 irons is not visible at address but really adds to the stability. The 4mm slot behind the clubface may appear small, but works to both create a faster, higher-launching iron whilst also saving weight that Mizuno could use to move the centre of gravity even lower and deeper. Whilst some might expect a light, springy feel from the slot, that is not the case. The extra muscle/mass behind the face produces a thick, soft feel consistent with an MP iron, with a noticeable increase in distance. The long irons especially seemed to fly off the face. The 8 to PW do not feature a slot and have a closed cavity that makes them look and behave a bit more like blades. With the closed cavity design on these irons, the feel is simply great and offers a really solid sound and feel into the greens. The forgiveness of the short irons wasn't dramatically noticeable, but they did offer a little bit more workability. The real secret behind the MP-54s will go largely unnoticed by most who try them. The performance is impressive and each club glides through the turf very naturally regardless of whether the lie it tight or lush. Why is this? Answer: the grind. Similar to the JPX-825 Pro iron shown below on the left, you can see below the way the MP-54 grind is beveled away from the face. Better-players and low handicappers tend to attack the ball from a slightly different area than high-handicappers, therefore the MP-54's sole has been shaped and grinded appropriately. It is very subtle, but the rear of the sole (away from the face) also has some added bevel or relief. This smooth sole design cuts through the turf without slowing the club down or digging excessively. If you are someone who likes to "trap" the ball and take a divot, you will marvel at your new divot patterns with the MP-54s. It is the type of subtle adjustment Mizuno make that sets them apart from many irons in the lower-handicap market. We see the Mizuno MP-54s as the iron to beat in this segment. Mizuno say that this is the most forgiving iron of their MP range but for us this is the one all players should go for. Better players who prefer blades will find the MP-54s offer them all the workability they need with just that extra level of forgiveness. They will be able to launch their longer irons higher, whilst the sole grind caters to those knocked-down, worked shots. Similarly, aspiring golfers who want to "step up" will also enjoy the MP-54s. They are not overly compact at address and whilst the topline appears thin, as we said above, it quietly offers the help these players need.

Karen Fiss
Karen Fiss's research examines the history of "nation branding" in the production of visual culture, from the rise of the nation-state to its contemporary role in shaping the social, artistic, and built environment of postcolonial emerging economies. Her current book project, From Nation Building to Nation Branding, relates global branding practices to the mechanisms of globalization in the contemporary art world and its accompanying exhibition economies, with a focus on how citizenship and historical memory are visually produced, particularly in the wake of political upheaval or trauma.
Her book, Grand Illusion: The Third Reich, the Paris Exposition, and the Cultural Seduction of France, published by the University of Chicago Press (2010), examined related developments across fine arts, film, architecture, and mass pageantry in order to illuminate the role of National Socialist propaganda in the French decision to ignore Hitler's war preparations and pursue an untenable policy of appeasement. By examining how cultural exchange shifted toward political collaboration, Grand Illusion casts new light on the power of art to influence history.
Fiss is also co-author of Modernity on Display (University of Pittsburg Press, forthcoming) with Robert Kargon, Art Molella, and Morris Low. The book examines nationalism and technology in relation to political regimes and the visual culture of international exhibitions held in the US, Japan, France, Italy, and Germany.
Fiss also served as film curator for the international exhibition Encounters with the 1930s at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid (on view October 2012-January 2013). In addition to serving on the curatorial team headed by Jordana Mendelson, Fiss curated a 10-session film program for the Reina Sofia entitled El cine de 1930. Flores azules en un paisaje catastrófico (Cinema of the 1930s: Blue Flowers in a Catastrophic Landscape).
In 2009, Fiss coedited with Hazel Clark a special volume of Design Issues examining issues and case studies concerning globalization, postcolonialism, and design (MIT Press). Fiss is coeditor of the anthology Discourses: Conversations in Postmodern Art and Culture (MIT Press and the New Museum, 1992) and has contributed to Art, Culture and Media under the Third Reich (ed. Richard Etlin, University of Chicago Press), in addition to other scholarly publications and catalogues. Fiss has also published articles for the magazines and websites of Print, CMYK, Metropolis, and SFMOMA's Open Space. In 2010, she served as Jury Chair for USA Artists Awards in Architecture and Design, and also served on the selection panel for the USA fellowships in 2009.
In January 2015, Fiss will be in residence at the Lab of Sàn Art, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, in collaboration with the programming of "Prod/Ponder, Conscious Realities." http://san-art.org/conscious-realities/prod-ponder/
Fiss's writing and research has been supported by grants from the Graham Foundation, Getty Grant Program, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), and the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art. Before coming to CCA, she was an assistant professor of modern and contemporary art at Washington University St. Louis, and also previously held positions in the curatorial departments of The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, and the Institute for Contemporary Arts, London.

I've had the idea for awhile to use No-Limits (a rollercoaster simulator game) to create a video for Rockin' CA Screamin'. I actually made the coaster in the game quite awhile ago, but I never got around to capturing the video.
Well, I finally did it today. It's using the Green Day song Brain Stew. I actually have a few more ideas of different songs, and if anybody wants to see a different song with it, let me know.
Let me know what you think

Active within 1 week
Dr. D daredevil delight
I am a witty, funny, energetic girl who can't get enough of life. I love to be active and sports are a big part of my life. Born and raised in Mexico City, having lived in Miami for a little bit officially moved to NYC 3 years ago. I believe that if you want something bad enough you have to go out there and get it. If you fight hard enough for what you want those dreams will eventually be a reality. I never really understood why but I'm crazy about motorcycles. Not sure if it's the adrenaline, the excitement, the thrill of being on the motorcycle, the control but it's just one of those things that I don't try to understand, I just embrace it. I ride my motorcycle whenever I have a chance in the city. Medicine is my hobby, life is my passion. I'm fortunate enough that my life has allowed me to purse many different hobbies like scuba diving, playing tennis, photography, travel and sports. In an ideal world you are a person that's funny, sarcastic, love to be active and can't wait to come up with a new crazy thing to explore and try out together. You are loving, you want to grow together, being with each other just feels natural and fun, it just works. You want a relationship that will lead to family and something special in the future. It is very important that you are a man that likes a strong woman by his side and are not intimidated by it. I would love nothing more than to share all my hobbies with you and be a part of your hobbies as well. If you think that insecurity applies to you in any way...hellloooww!! turnnn offf! Tats are a deal breaker (Sorry, nothing personal) Don't be shy drop me a line.
Dining out , Museums and art , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Auto racing / Motorcross, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
I'm absolutely crazy about traveling. It's always been a thing in my family to get to know the world and different cultures. I fell in love with Petra, India, Budapest and Australia!
Tennis, foodie is an understatement (whether it is hole in the wall random place or Bocuse d'Or winner) food it is just one of my loves. I guess I'm lucky that I was born with the skinny genes. Oooohhh wine, I loove wine too. Passionate photographer
It would be hard for me to name something I actually don't like to do. (Wait...waiting...I hate to wait, for people, for things to happen- I say go out there and make it happen!) I played competitive tennis until 18 so I love to be on the court!
Anna Karenina, Yahoo! news, Open by Agassi (my childhood hero)....Reading one book at the time bores me so...my Kindle saves my life!

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/22/12
It's easy to be a Yankee fan. Every year they're fighting for a World Series crown. If they don't make it, they go out and spend millions of dollars to bring in players who will help the franchise achieve its goal of a championship. And if it doesn't work that year, they'll repeat the process until they get it right. On this Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for a variety of things including a great family, friends and for the most part my health (I'm currently recovering from a torn Achilles tendon). But I'm also thankful for the Mets. It's always interesting with the Mets. When they have money, they'll sign Jason Bay, and like now when they don't have money, they'll sit back and hope their prospects develop. Unlike the Evil Empire, that's the nature of baseball. Teams go through streaks of being great and being bad depending on their finances and how their prospects shape up. The Mets have been in a down swing since really 2009. Many will say the losing began when Carlos Beltran sat there

Idaho Legislature to Honor Jockey Stevens
Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens, a native of Caldwell, Idaho, will be honored by the Idaho legislature next Monday, Feb. 9. He will be accompanied to the ceremony by another Hall of Fame rider, Mike Smith.
Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens, a native of Caldwell, Idaho, will be honored by the Idaho legislature next Monday, Feb. 9. He will be accompanied to the ceremony by another Hall of Fame rider, Mike Smith.
Officials in Boise, Idaho have entered into an agreement for Idaho Entertainment to operate Les Bois Park racetrack until December 2013.
Les Bois Park in Boise, Idaho, has been approved for a 46-day meet in 2008.
Capitol Racing at Les Bois Park wrapped up its 46-day live racing season Aug. 11 with double-digit increases in on-track attendance and handle.
Idaho Governor James E. Risch will honor Idaho native and three-time Kentucky Derby winning jockey Gary Stevens with a proclamation announcing next week as "Gary Stevens Week" across Idaho.
Capitol Racing Association has signed a five-year agreement to manage and operate all live and simulcast horse racing at Les Bois Park in Boise, Idaho.
Track operator Capitol Racing, which decided to walk away from its harness meet in Sacramento, is moving on – to Idaho and other breeds.
Bucking the current industry trend, Les Bois Park finished up its 2003 live racing season with on-track increases for both attendance and total money wagered.
Lariat Productions, owners and operators of Les Bois Park, has signed a record five-year contract with the Idaho HPBA, which represents all breeds in the State.
Racing is scheduled to resume Wednesday night at Les Bois Park. On Sunday the track's jockeys refused to continue racing after the fourth race due to unsafe track conditions. Three horses were injured that day, one catastrophically.
Les Bois Park shattered its all-time on-track handle by more than 34 percent on opening day May 3.
A northern Idaho Indian casino lost its third racetrack signal Aug. 4 as punishment for paying rebates.
Ginger Welch, one of the leading jockeys at Les Bois Park, died after she was thrown by her horse, which then fell on her, during a race Saturday night. She was 37.

Nearly 5000 chamber measurements of CH4 flux were collated from 21 sites across the United Kingdom, covering a range of soil and vegetation types, to derive a parsimonious model that explains as much of the variability as possible, with the least input requirements. Mean fluxes ranged from −0.3 to 27.4 nmol CH4 m−2 s−1, with small emissions or low rates of net uptake in mineral soils (site means of −0.3 to 0.7 nmol m−2 s−1) and much larger emissions from organic soils (site means of −0.3 to 27.4 nmol m−2 s−1). Less than half of the observed variability in instantaneous fluxes could be explained by independent variables measured. The reasons for this include measurement error, stochastic processes and, probably most importantly, poor correspondence between the independent variables measured and the actual variables influencing the processes underlying methane production, transport and oxidation. When temporal variation was accounted for, and the fluxes averaged at larger spatial scales, simple models explained up to ca. 75% of the variance in CH4 fluxes. Soil carbon, peat depth, soil moisture and pH together provided the best sub-set of explanatory variables. However, where plant species composition data were available, this provided the highest explanatory power. Linear and nonlinear models generally fitted the data equally well, with the exception that soil moisture required a power transformation. To estimate the impact of changes in peatland water table on CH4 emissions in the United Kingdom, an emission factor of +0.4 g CH4 m−2 yr−1 per cm increase in water table height was derived from the data.

Is she speaking at all?
My ODS called my BABA. He couldn't say Mama.
Maybe give her the opportunity to call for you.
Kelly, mommy to Ashton (11/21/06)and Bricen (4/7/2011)~my rainbow baby! Love my guys!
Hug loving momma to a kiddo with SPD!
I would also say things like "this is momma's phone" , "this is momma's car" " we are going to ride in momma's car". That way he has a name to correlate with you. He may not have to correlate you with a name.

Oh and when my MIA was teaching her "GG" her grandma name she would touch her and say "lizzie" ( my DD) and then touch herself and say "GG" . It only took a few days for it to click, but when she said Lizzie or GG for about a month she had to pat her chest -lol

Oct. 29 - a beautiful GIRL- Going team pink again!
i realized my LO was calling my DH "dada" and "papa" but wasn't calling me anything (I don't remember when this was exactly, maybe almost a year ago). I made a point of talking about myself in the 3rd person: "Give that to mommy", "do you want a hug from mommy?" "Mommy says no!" "let's go upstairs, mommy needs to get dressed" and shortly after he started calling me mama, and has never stopped.
lol- MIA should MIL... sorry

Yes, mine, too. He calls all of the time "dada","daddy", but not "mommy". Sometimes, that makes me sad. I guess I have to start call myself mommy.

British Rail card sir? That'll do nicely, thank youSunday, 4 June 1995

Thank Major for stable house pricesSunday, 4 June 1995

Why be so careless with the facts?Sunday, 4 June 1995

1852-O Liberty Ten, AU531852-O $10 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1. The New Orleans Mint produced only 18,000 ten dollar gold pieces in 1852, with two varieties known for the date. As might be expected from the low mintage, the 1852-O is a scarce issue in all grades, and examples in AU53 are quite rare. Doug Winter believes the surviving population numbers no more than 80-90 total examples, with 14-16 specimens in the AU range.

What should film do? Should it try to reach some answer as to what is existence, why we exist? should it leave the viewer to find the answers or should the film point in one direction?
There is no one thing film should do.
Entertainment, repulsion, enlightenment, artistic brilliance, social commentary, historical record. All of these things, and more, can be achieved within the wide-ranging spectrum of cinema.
film, pretty much like any art, should be used to do whatever the creator wants to do with it, and should be enjoyed and evaluated by whoever wants to evaluate it. some things just shouldn't be over evaluated…
basically, there's something for everybody.
the most universal thing I can think of is Keep Interest
The purpose of film should be to reproduce images by means of a silver halide-based, light-sensitive emulsion.
the Glorification of GOD
To enlighten, to enhance, to inform, to communicate, to entertain, to celebrate life.
as william blake would say, to cleanse the doors of perception.
truth twenty-four times per second.
A film should allow the viewers to see the infinite possibilities of life as in a kaleidoscope. It should raise interesting questions but allow the viewers to enter the "dialogue" and reach their own conclusions. A film can achieve this by reflecting the shifting boundaries out there or challenging certain boundaries, collapsing and reconstructing them.
If by film you mean the stock, the purpose of it is to capture light into images. Movie film can be run through a projector to create an illusion of movement to create movies.
If by film you mean movies, the purpose of movies are to create images on a timeline. Those images need not necessarily move. What people do with those images and that timeline is entirely up to them. What other people want to see in movies is entirely up to them.
The end.
It should be art. Whatever your definition of art is, that's what film should fit into. If the film fails to meet your definition of art, then it's failed to really be a film, it's just cheap entertainment at that point, not that cheap entertainment is wrong, in small doses.
Everything it possibly can.
I am giggling.
Possibly even chuckling.
Absurd's the word.
Something. Or nothing.
The purpose of film should to make you feel something. Be it happy and laughing or sad and emotionally scarred (and I mean in a good way like Bergman not in a bad way like after being forced to watch Pearl Harbor). If you feel entertained the film worked and if you feel amazed at the artistry of film then it worked.
film should not and does not have a purpose. filmmakers may have a purpose, like any artist, and this purpose may respond to their internal needs of expression, or the need to communicate something. but while it does not have a purpose, it does have a end, which is, hopefully to provide an experience, intellectual, erotic, or else. great films are great, unforgettable experiences.
I love this > "film should not and does not have a purpose. filmmakers may have a purpose, like any artist, and this purpose may respond to their internal needs of expression, or the need to communicate something."
perfectly said
I wouldn't want to demand any purpose- it's in the mind of the film-maker. But film can be an international art form/entertainment, so i cringe when it's used to create divisons between nations when it can increase mutual understanding and empathy. It can help create a better world, not just by giving pleasure to audiences but also through enhancing human solidarity and means of expression..
Entertain and enlighten and everything in between.
The purpose should be whatever the viewer wants to be the purpose.
A film should give the viewer what it wants and this can be difficult because every viewer wants a different thing. Some want to simply be entertained, to forget about their mundane life, others what to be intellectually stimulated, want a film to make them think about things they never have thought, consider new perspectives. I think a great film and a great filmmaker can achieve this – that is, give the viewer what it wants (which in some cases, what the viewer wants is to be given something they don't want). Because if you don't do this, if you don't satisfy the viewer (satisfy as defined by whatever the viewer wants – for instance, if the film leaves he viewer unsatisfied but the viewer wants to be unsatisfied, then you've given them what they want) then they're gonig to dislike the film and nobody will see something they dislike.
>>truth twenty-four times per second<<
But what film does best is lie at 24 fps …
Consider: A man walks through a doorway. Cut to the man now on the other side of the door in a room that's on an entirely different soundstage. Cut to a close-up of him looking around the room, filmed two months later … or earlier. Back to master shot as he walks across the room toward a window, outside of which is a process shot of landscape … re-used from a film made ten years ago. Etc., etc., etc.
Film should reaffirm the need to live while confronting one with the terrible consequences of living. Film can also simply provide the necessary escape from the tedious and horrible aspects of life.
Seems to happen more often than not that in cinema "the worst are full of passionate intensity": the most utilitarian, earnest, overdetermined films are the bad ones. All of the terribly manipulative and overdetermined movies now are accompanied by a plague of publicity appearances, earnest humorless interviews on the Charlie Rose Show re The Grand Purpose of Art, and those DVD commentary tracks mocked @The Onion's AV Club…
(Comedy excepted: while it has a definite end in making you laugh, I wouldn't class a funny film as "overdetermined" or manipulative, because the goal of driving you to appreciate wit or to laugh is folded in perfectly with this very ancient form)
Drew's answer is best — a film should make you feel.
keep me interested in filmmaking.
"Keep me interested in filmmaking"
I'll second that!
Film, music, and visual art are all deeply emotive mediums. But while visual art and music are more abstract, film can immerse you very deeply into situations in a way that can enlighten your understanding of humanity, because it mimics how you experience something in reality. The illusion is so powerful, and I feel like it can have a greater depth of feeling and connection with humankind because of that.
I actually got into a heated argument with my Dad over this question just a few months ago. He thinks that film (and art in general) has one and only one obligation: realism. Which is not surprising given that my father is a scientist and a pragmatist. He had me foaming with rage when he said that fantasy and imagination is garbage.
I agree with the first few posts that film (art) can be whatever its creator wants it to be. Furthermore, in order to review and assess it, the only measure of its success should be, "did it meet its objectives?" A popcorn movie deserves a 5 out of 5 if it delivers what it promises. An art film that wants to upset or nauseate you is also a 5 out of 5 if it succeeds at evoking the intended response; I would expect nothing less.
Film should grab us by the shoulders, shake us violently, and proclaim: "You are alive!". Film should be an alarm clock, whose jarring pulses should penetrate our dreamless slumber with the urgency of a full bladder. Film should be a goddamned rocketship that jets us away from the humdrum and hurls us into the sublime surf of the cosmos. Film shouldn't say a single word or eat at a single McDonald's; it should simply wrap itself around your tiny little head like a plaster mold and suffocate you. Film should murder, film should fuck, film should be a stand-up comic that insults you in front of your wife. You shouldn't be able to watch a film with your head in the sand or in between reruns of "Happy Days". Film should be the last meal given to the men on death row. Film should stretch itself thinner than the value of the dollar and then collapse into a black hole. Film should be the cure for blindness and the cause of cancer. Film should teach you how to dream and dream to make you feel.

The concern: Health care reform could diminish veterans' health benefits.
The source: Veterans groups wrote a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last month expressing fears about their benefits.
The status: Amendments have now been added to the House health reform bill to clear up any doubts about veterans' benefits. Politifact.com reported that representatives from two veterans' groups told them that amendments have been added so "nothing in the current House bill would affect veterans' current coverage."
The president's position: Speaking before the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Phoenix on Monday, President Barack Obama said, "One thing that reform won't change is veterans' health care. No one is going to take away your benefits."
The verdict: False. The bill was never written to affect benefits for veterans, and the amendments have clarified that. Veterans receiving health care benefits from government programs will not be penalized under mandates that exist in the current version of the House bill.

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Reshad Jones isn't the only member of the team's defense on pace to reach unrestricted free agency for the Miami Dolphins that hasn't received any significant contract offers. Two defensive line members are in the same spot.
Defensive tackle Randy Starks hasn't received an offer since the beginning of the offseason when he was given the franchise tag. According to Jackson, Starks has a "good attitude" heading into training camp even though the multi-year contract offer was short of what he truly wanted with the Dolphins.
Paul Soliai is another defensive tackle in the last year of his two-year deal, but the team has not contacted him about 2014 and beyond. The Dolphins have nothing holding them back from making a contract extension for the next couple years, but they both turn 30 years old in December.

JACKSON (AP) ŌĆö The Mississippi secretary of stateŌĆÖs office will study a court ruling that struck down the Texas voter identification law to see if it might have an impact on MississippiŌĆÖs law.
Pamela Weaver, a spokeswoman for Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, said officials in HosemannŌĆÖs office, who have been monitoring Isaac, will look at the ruling from a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
A Mississippi law that would require people to display a government-issued photo identification to vote is pending before the U.S. Department of Justice. Under federal law, all changes to Mississippi election law must be approved by either the Justice Department or the District of Columbia federal court.
In ThursdayŌĆÖs ruling, the panel said the Texas law placed ŌĆ£strict unforgiving burdens on the poor,ŌĆØ specifically racial minorities. Texas officials have said they will appeal.
Hosemann told The Associated Press in a June interview that he and his staff are reviewing documents related to the Justice DepartmentŌĆÖs rejection of voter ID laws in Texas and South Carolina. That includes filings in TexasŌĆÖ appeal of its case to the federal court.
ŌĆ£In the perfect world, when we show up at the Justice Department with this, our application would be so complete that they would approve it. Unless itŌĆÖs a political issue, our application should address every issue they have raised in Texas or South Carolina or any of the case law we had read or anything else,ŌĆØ Hosemann said at the time.
Supporters say showing ID would prevent people from voting under othersŌĆÖ names, but opponents say there have been few examples of that happening. Opponents also worry that an ID mandate could suppress turnout by racial minorities, disabled people and older people.
Hosemann has said there were key differences in the Texas and Mississippi voter ID laws. For instance, a photo ID from a public Mississippi university or college could be used to vote. Under the Texas law, a photo ID from a public university was not listed as acceptable.
In Mississippi, the plan is to put cameras in each courthouse where people who do not have an acceptable form of ID, such as a driverŌĆÖs license or student ID, can obtain one free of charge. But the Legislature did not appropriate money to install the cameras.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Miochol ® -E (acetylcholine chloride intraocular solution) is a parasympathomimetic preparation for intraocular use. It is packaged in a blister pack containing one vial and one ampoule. The vial contains 20 mg acetylcholine chloride and 56 mg mannitol. The accompanying ampoule contains 2 mL of a modified diluent of sodium acetate trihydrate, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, calcium chloride dihydrate and sterile water for injection. The reconstituted liquid will be a sterile isotonic solution (275-330 milliosmoles/Kg) containing 20 mg acetylcholine chloride (1:100 solution) and 2.8% mannitol. The pH range is 5.0-8.2. Mannitol is used in the process of lyophilizing acetylcholine chloride, and is not considered an active ingredient.
Miochol-E (acetylcholine) is indicated for the following:
To obtain miosis of the iris in seconds after delivery of the lens in cataract surgery, in penetrating keratoplasty, iridectomy and other anterior segment surgery where rapid miosis may be required.
Dianicline, a novel alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist, for smoking cessation: a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial. [2011.01]INTRODUCTION: Dianicline is a alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist, a class of drugs that includes varenicline and cytisine. Varenicline is efficacious for smoking cessation, while cytisine has not been studied systematically. The efficacy of dianicline has not been previously tested in an adequately powered study... CONCLUSIONS: Dianicline did not increase cigarette smoking abstinence rates beyond the initial phase of treatment. However, self-reported craving and nicotine withdrawal symptoms were reduced.
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene expression is altered in burn patients. [2010.05.01]INTRODUCTION: Burn patients have been observed to be more susceptible to the hyperkalemic effect of the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine. Changes in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit composition may alter electrophysiologic, pharmacologic, and metabolic characteristics of the receptor inducing hyperkalemia on exposure to succinylcholine. No studies have been performed that show the upregulation and/or alteration of nAChR subunit composition in human burn patients. The scarcity of studies performed on humans with burn injury is mainly attributable to the technical and ethical difficulties in obtaining muscle biopsies at different time frames of illness in these acutely injured patients. nAChRs are expressed in oral keratinocytes and are upregulated or altered in smokers. However, no studies have addressed the expression of nAChRs in the oral mucosa of burn patients... CONCLUSION: Thermal injury may infer a systemic effect because upregulation/alteration of nAChRs occurs in nonmuscle tissues distant from the site of injury. The effect of thermal injury on nAChR gene subunits can be studied using a minimally invasive method (buccal mucosal scraping) and a highly sensitive technology (real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) obviating the need for more invasive methods.
Acetylcholine-esterase inhibitor pyridostigmine decreases T cell overactivation in patients infected by HIV. [2009.08]HIV infection is characterized by persistent immune activation, increased production of proinflammatory cytokines, and rapid T cell turnover...
Quantification of eccrine sweat glands with acetylcholine sweat-spot test and anatomical redistribution of sweating after T2-T3 thoracoscopic sympathicolysis. [2009.02]BACKGROUND: In this study, patients treated by thoracoscopic sympathicolysis for palmar hyperhidrosis were evaluated to determine the number and response of sweat glands to intradermal acetylcholine stimulus... CONCLUSION: It is well-known that Cannon's law of denervation (1939) is not applicable to the sweat glands, that is, there is no hyperactivation following intradermal acetylcholine stimulation. However, some response, which increased over the first 6 months following surgery, was observed in our study. Nevertheless, this activation is subsequently self-limiting, resulting in no gland atrophy, and reinnervation occurs without patient awareness.
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor beta2 subunit gene implicated in a systems-based candidate gene study of smoking cessation. [2008.09.15]Although the efficacy of pharmacotherapy for tobacco dependence has been previously demonstrated, there is substantial variability among individuals in treatment response. We performed a systems-based candidate gene study of 1295 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 58 genes within the neuronal nicotinic receptor and dopamine systems to investigate their role in smoking cessation in a bupropion placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial.
Clonidine-Induced Spinal Acetylcholine Release: Normal Volunteers vs. Neuropathic Pain [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to compare the amount of acetylcholine release after a single
injection of clonidine in normal volunteers and individuals with neuropathic pain.
Adenosine Receptors Influence Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury [Suspended]
Ischemic preconditioning is defined as the development of tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion
injury by a previous short bout of ischemia resulting in a marked reduction in infarct size.
This mechanism can be mimicked by several pharmacological substances such as acetylcholine
and adenosine.
To detect ischemia-reperfusion injury in humans in vivo Kharbanda et al. developed a method
in which endothelial dysfunction represents the effects of ischemic preconditioning. This
method, however, uses acetylcholine to measure endothelial function before and after forearm
ischemia. We, the investigators at Radboud University, hypothesize that the use of
acetylcholine in this model reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury. Therefore, we will compare
this protocol with a protocol in which endothelial function is only measured after ischemia.
We expect an increase in ischemia-reperfusion injury when endothelial function is only
measured after the forearm ischemia.
After determining the optimal method to measure ischemia-reperfusion injury of the vascular
endothelium we will determine the effect of acute and chronic caffeine, an adenosine receptor
antagonist, on ischemic preconditioning. With this study we expect to find that adenosine
mimics ischemic preconditioning of the vascular endothelium. Moreover, we expect to find that
acute caffeine intake reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury whereas chronic caffeine intake
does not. This study will increase our knowledge about the mechanism of ischemic
preconditioning and may also provide leads to exploit this endogenous protective mechanism in
a clinical setting.
Storage Lesion in Banked Blood Due to Disruption of Nitric Oxide (NO) Homeostasis [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of aged blood on endothelial function by
measuring forearm blood flow during intra-arterial acetylcholine infusion in normal healthy
human volunteers after infusion of autologous blood stored for 5-10 days or 35-42 days.
Our hypothesis is that 1) the vasodilatory response to the infusion of acetylcholine will be
reduced in the 35-42 day group compared with the 5-10 day group, because of scavenging of
the NO released from the endothelium by the hemolytic process in the aged blood, 2) that the
infusion of aged stored blood will produce vasoconstriction, measured by reduced forearm
blood flow during infusion of the 35-42 day compared with the 5-10 day old blood, and that
3) there will be increases in venous levels of cell free plasma hemoglobin, red cell
microparticles, red cell membrane damage, arginase levels and activity, decreased arginine
levels, markers of oxidative stress (carbamylated proteins and nitrated tyrosine residues),
and increases in plasma in vitro NO consumption during the infusion of 35-42 day old
compared to 5-10 day old blood.
Endothelial Injury and Development of Coronary Intimal Thickening After Heart Transplantation [Recruiting]
Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is the leading cause of late graft failure and second
leading cause of late mortality after heart transplantation. CAV has been associated with a
variety of traditional risk factors for atherosclerosis; however, immune mediated injury
from development of de-novo donor-specific antibodies after transplantation also likely
plays an important role. Similar to the progression of traditional atherosclerosis, it is
likely that endothelial dysfunction is the precursor to the development of intimal
thickening and CAV.
The investigators hypothesize that coronary allograft vasculopathy after heart
transplantation as defined by progressive neointimal hyperplasia is preceded by endothelial
dysfunction, which in turn is at least partly mediated by donor specific antibodies.
The investigators are proposing a prospective study in humans to test the above hypothesis
and further mechanistically understand how CAV progresses. In this study the investigators
will test for coronary endothelial function by infusing acetylcholine into the coronary
artery and measure intimal hyperplasia by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and compare
findings in patients with and without donor specific antibodies.

Minnie's Sacrifice, Sowing and Reaping, and Trial and Triumph represent a significant boon to African-American literary studies in general and to the canon of Frances E. W. Harper specifically. The three novels were only recently re-discovered, in the early 1990's, by literary scholar Frances Smith Foster. Previous to this time, it was the assumption of the literary world that Harper's only novel was Iola Leroy. Through a great deal of literary detective work, Foster discovered the three missing novels, which had originally been serialized in The Christian Recorder, a vehicle of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church which had also published several of Harper's essays, short stories, and poems. …

Kobe Bryant voted most popular NBA player by 2013 rookie class
The 2013-2014 rookie class was interviewed at the Rookie Transition Program on a variety of subjects, including who their favorite player is. It appears the age of Kobe Bryant continues and that LeBron James has not yet become the icon of a generation. After James won in 2012, the Black Mamba made a comeback this year.
1: Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers -- 21.2 percent
2: LeBron James, Miami -- 15.2 percent
T-3rd: Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City & Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas -- 12.1 percent
T-5th: Kevin Garnett, Brooklyn & Chris Paul, L.A. Clippers -- 9.1 percent
Others receiving votes: Carmelo Anthony, New York; Vince Carter, Dallas; Tim Duncan, San Antonio; James Harden, Houston; Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio; Steve Nash, L.A. Lakers; Dwyane Wade, Miami
Worth noting: LeBron won his second straight championship, but couldn't retain his spot as the rookies' favorite player. As Kobe nears the end of his career, he still gets love from the kids.
via Magic's Oladipo among rookie favorites to stand out in 2013-14 | NBA.com.
That's not a small gap, either. Real quick? Where did Dirk Nowitzki come from on this? Seems kind of random. Not that he's not a fantastic player, just seems like a random choice to be tied for third. How aout James Harden receiving votes?
Bryant's populaity is proving to be incredibly durable, even as the Lakers have slipped from contention. It's also interesting that Bryant retook the lead over James despite the fact that James has been more active in actig as a mentor, and hasn't had the same level of complaints as Bryant has about being a teammate. Sometimes, it just comes down to what you remember.
Also worth noting? Huge downtick in the number of University of Kentucky rookies this season from 2012. James has strong ties to coach Calipari and the UK program.

'On Track' Initiative Provides Broader Access to FOSRENOL(R) and Resources
for Enhanced Hyperphosphatemia Management
PHILADELPHIA, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Shire Pharmaceuticals, the global biopharmaceutical company, today announced the launch of On Track, an innovative program designed to improve adherence to disease management regimens among chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5 patients with hyperphosphatemia (elevated levels of phosphorus in the blood). In addition to offering the highly effective phosphate binder, FOSRENOL (lanthanum carbonate), Shire has created On Track, a program designed to provide resources to patients, health care professionals (HCPs) and renal care teams that can help them collectively identify "real world" solutions to adherence- related challenges.
Approximately half of all CKD Stage 5 patients fail to attain serum phosphorus control, and poor adherence is a primary barrier preventing them from achieving success.
