Full text not available from this repository.
Plasticity in the brain is essential for maintaining memory and learning and is associated with the dynamic membrane trafficking of AMPA receptors. EphrinB proteins, ligands for EphB receptor tyrosine kinases, are transmembrane molecules with signaling capabilities that are required for spine morphogenesis, synapse formation and synaptic plasticity. Here, we describe a molecular mechanism for ephrinB2 function in controlling synaptic transmission. EphrinB2 signaling is critical for the stabilization of AMPA receptors at the cellular membrane. Mouse hippocampal neurons from conditional ephrinB2 knockouts showed enhanced constitutive internalization of AMPA receptors and reduced synaptic transmission. Mechanistically, glutamate receptor interacting proteins bridge ephrinB ligands and AMPA receptors. Moreover, this function involved a regulatory aspect of ephrinB reverse signaling that involves the phosphorylation of a single serine residue in their cytoplasmic tails. In summary, our findings uncover a model of cooperative AMPA receptor and ephrinB reverse signaling at the synapse.

You can't unless working with 100% opacity brushes.
This is how Photoshop works.
April 2nd, 2012 #3
Also, try turning off "Shape Dynamics" and setting the spacing to something like 9%.
Then when you're painting, leave the opacity at 100%. You can play with the flow setting, start it at 100%, some like to change it down to 30 - 70% as they paint depending on how soft or thick they want to lay down their colors/values, it's up to you, just play around with it and see what you like.
Apply these settings to a hard round brush to get the control I think you are looking for.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Chrysler 300
By KBB.com Editors
The 2008 Chrysler 300 sedan has succeeded where many of its domestic rivals have not. While it's true that Americans have flocked to the 300 chiefly because of its bold styling, the 300 provides a roomy interior, impressive ride and handling, the availability of the well-known HEMI V8 engine and the option of all-wheel drive. The 300 benefited greatly from the now-defunct merger between Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler by receiving a number of German-engineered components, including its rear suspension and five-speed automatic transmission. One might think with so much premium content added to the mix that the 300's price tag would also surge, but V6 models start around $25,000. Thanks to the 300's popularity among the tuner crowd, there are plenty of aftermarket parts, allowing owners to customize their cars to their hearts' content.
If you're searching for a family sedan with attitude but need to keep your spending in check, you'll find the 2008 Chrysler 300 hard to ignore.
If you're looking for something inconspicuous, say, for a stakeout, the Chrysler 300 might not be your best option. Car enthusiasts will lament the absence of a manual transmission and some may find the interior color choices drab.
2008 sees modest but important changes. The cruise control stalk has been relocated to the four o'clock position where it won't be confused with the turn signal, and the dash receives a minor freshening. New options include MyGIG multimedia audio system and remote start
Driving Impressions We drove the powerful 300C model that Chrysler claims accounts for almost half of all 300 models sold. With its 340-horsepower HEMI V8, the 300C provides an impressive blend of...power and grace, thanks in part to its sophisticated traction and stability controls. The V8's MDS (Multiple-Displacement System) improves economy by cutting fuel to four of the eight cylinders when their output is not required. The suspension doesn't readily evoke that of a European sport sedan, but tight and true steering keeps you feeling in control of what is admittedly a large vehicle.
HEMI Engine
The available 5.7-liter V8 HEMI with 340 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque delivers terrific straight-line performance.
All-Wheel Drive
An option not available on many sedans in its price range, the 300's all-wheel-drive system promises to provide increased stability and traction in all driving conditions.
The 300's attractive instrument panel and interior design is in line with its high-style exterior, though some of the plastics lack the precise color-matching and touch-friendly feel of some top-notch luxury sedans. Despite the 300's somewhat colorless interior, exquisite touches, such as the faux tortoise shell steering wheel on the 300C, add an air of individuality and elegance. We are also fond of the instrument cluster, which features white-faced gauges with art-deco fonts. The front bucket seats provide excellent lower back and thigh support, and feature adjustable lumbar support for both the driver and passenger. Legroom is abundant throughout, as is headroom both front and rear.Exterior
Large slab-side panels, a high "belt-line" and narrow side windows give the 300 an appearance reminiscent of a custom chop-top cruiser. Big 17- or 18-inch wheels are standard, but the 300's large wheel wells allow space for aftermarket wheels as large as 22 inches. The gaping grille—an exaggerated version of those seen on other Chrysler vehicles—is flanked by two hefty headlamps balancing out the aggressive styling of the front end. The rear end, while handsome, is more conservative and the trunk's tall lid makes gauging reverse parking maneuvers a bit of a guessing game.
The 2008 Chrysler 300 LX features a 2.7-liter V6 engine, four-speed automatic transmission, 17-inch wheels, air conditioning, AM/FM stereo with CD and auxiliary input jack, power locks, power windows, 60/40 split rear seat, driver- and passenger-adjustable lumbar support, power driver's seat, four-wheel disc brakes, remote keyless entry, speed control, rear defrost, dual power mirrors and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel.
Features available only on select trim levels or as stand-alone options include all-wheel drive, five-speed AutoStick transmission, leather seating, power sun roof, heated front seats, heated rear seats, Adaptive Speed Control, adaptive headlamps, 18-inch wheels, side-curtain and seat-mounted airbags, rear object detection, power-adjustable pedals, Boston Acoustics eight-speaker sound system, GPS navigation system with integrated six-disc CD/MP3 player, remote start, MyGIG audio and entertainment system, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and xenon headlamps with high-pressure washers. Powerplant options include a 3.5-liter V6 engine and the 5.7-liter HEMI V8, the latter available only in the top-of-the-line 300C.
The base 2.7-liter engine is advisable only if a low sticker price is your primary motivator. The 3.5-liter V6 is more powerful, but still somewhat unrefined when pressed hard. The HEMI V8 truly brings the 300C to life, transforming it into a world-class performer wrapped in uniquely American sheetmetal.

"Satin Jade 300C - Still beautiful. Is a pleasure to drive with suprising power. Has always been reliable but always thought better brakes should be on the car, maybe because of the weight. The brakes have squeaked on and off until I upgraded my brakes and pads. Another issue was how much gas the HEMI would use, but I have the MDS system so I saved gas that way. On the highway the car is a dream, the suspension is fantastic."

After solving my first case I received my next E3 Mystery, I remember it as if it happened only hours ago...
Ed Boon steps into my office, I can hear his footsteps across the hard floor. The steps mix in with the sound of the rain outside my window. The smell of Dave Lang emits from him. "Irvandus, I need your help" he stutters trying to figure out how to pronounce my name. I turn slowly in my chair, it squeaks. "What do you need Boon? You know I don't like visitors on stormy nights, it's too cliche" as I say this Ed pulls out a photo... a photo of Hawkman. "It's Hawkman, he's gone missing, no one can get a hold of him. The last time I saw him he was screaming at a camera, screaming... fuck this place"
Naturally I couldn't turn down Ed Boon so I put all my effort into discovering the location of Hawkman. My first clue was in Hawkman's name, Hawk. This gave me two leads, I decided to follow the one that had less dialogue wheels...
Me and Michel Ancel sit outside a small cafe, the rain has let up a bit."You know I invented Rayman, not Assassin's creed, right?" he speaks in an accent that is foreign to me... trying to play mind games most likely. "I know you Europeans all share the same brain space. Now tell me about Hawkvision." he is taken aback by my statement. "What are you talking about?" He tries to weasel himself out of this. "Don't try to get out of this! Where is Hawkman!" He gets up from his seat. "I do not know where Hawkman is, and it's Eagle Vision not Hawk vision". I stand up stunned, "My god"
Well that lead went cold. I had some "contacts" of mine get in touch with Bioware, who as you know made a video game called Dragon Age 2 who had a main character named... Hawke. Most of the leads got nothing out of them but one who only goes by the code name... scoops got a response. It was an email that read: No, we don't know where Hawkman is. This is more annoying than all the emails we got about the ending of Mass Effect 3. Sign up for The Old Republic.
Another lead gone cold. I watched all the footage from E3 over and over again and finally I cracked this hawk egg wide open and found the chirping offspring of victory inside.
I stand in the cold parking garage that was once Kentia Hall. A man wearing a black shirt and glasses approaches. I clap slowly as he approaches "Well done Dominic, you had us all convinced. 1313 running on next gen consoles aye?" He looks down at the ground, he knows I know the truth. "What will you do when the public finds out?" He looks at me and starts to speak, "Hey man, maybe we can make a deal, I can give you infinite climbing mechanics if you let this go." "All the climbing mechanics?" "All the climbing mechanics". I have a moment of doubt, but if their was anything I learned reading Naoto's spinoff book you can't sell the truth. "No Dominic the world must know." He nods and walks away never to be seen again.
So here it is world, the truth about where Hawkman is this... Hawkman as well all know is filled with incredible power. Enough power to rule the world, or provide next gen graphics. That is the truth, Star Wars 1313 isn't played on a pc or a next gen console, it's played on Hawkman. E3 mystery solved.

Environment of Belgium
The environment of Belgium is affected by the high population density in most of the country. Water quality suffers from a relatively low percentage of sewage wastewater treatment and from historical pollution accumulated in sediments. Air quality is affected by emissions from traffic and house heating. Biodiversity is low because of destruction and fragmentation of habitats. In the Pilot 2006 Environmental Performance Index, Belgium was ranked lowest of the EU member countries for overall environmental performance.[1]
Since the 1993 State Reform, the environment is a regional responsibility, with the Flemish, Walloon and Brussels-Capital Regions responsible for environmental matters in their respective territories. This has led to differences in legislation and separation of measurements and publication of statistics.
In Flanders, emission of non-methane-VOC has decreased from 200 kton in 1990 to around 100 kton in 2006, because of lower emissions from transport and industry. These two however remain the most important VOC polluters.[2]
Particulate matter emissions and environmental concentrations have decreased since 1995, but little improvement is visible since 2000. European Union targets for average daily PM10 concentrations in 2005 have not been met and a significant increase was seen in 2006 compared to 2005. The problem is mostly situated in cities and industrial areas.[2]
Total acidifying emissions have decreased very rapidly since 1990, but NOx still remains a problem. Half of NOx emissions are due to transport.[2]
Photo-chemical air pollution remains a problem. On hot summer days, ozone levels frequently surpass EU targets. In 2006, the average was 6970 ug/m3 while the EU target is 5800 ug/m3.[2]
Greenhouse gas emissions have fallen from 90 Mton CO2-eq in 2003 to 85 Mton CO2-eq in 2006. The Kyoto target for Flanders is 82.5 Mton during the period 2008-2012.[2]
The water has many types of fascinating sea creatures, as in starfish, horse-shoe crabs, and turtles.In the low lands, there are beautiful low water rocky places. A place to relax or for kids to have fun and collect the wonderful starfish that live in the lowlands.Also in the coast of Belgium, it is somewhat like Venice Italy. A city on water ( Bruges ). Water on the coast has changed the way they built the buildings. The coast was also very good for trading Belgium carpets, metal, and beer.
- Polluted grounds
- Noise hinder
Following the approach of the Netherlands, a Red List was created for Belgium.
In regards to the native fish species, a list can be found here. At present, 8 of the 12 migratory fish (found in Belgium's rivers) are threatened. These include Coregonus oxyrinchus, Coregonus lavaretus, Alosa alosa, Acipenser sturio, Petromyzon marinus, Salmo salar, Alosa fallax, Salmo trutta trutta [3]
Protected areas[edit]
The pan-European ecological network Natura 2000 covers 428908 hectares in Belgium, representing 12.6% of the land area and 12% of the territorial waters.[4]
Hoge Kempen National Park, the first national park in Belgium, was opened in 2006.[5]

Women Aren't Visual? It Depends
You say that most women don't find the penis visually arousing. Really? I, personally, find the penis arousing… Do you have any studies to back up your statement?
That's a question from "Claire." Read the rest of this entry
Should Women Give Men The Porn Star Experience?
A lot of guys have come to expect P.S.E. [the "Porn-Star Experience"] … and plenty of women are more than happy to oblige. A few might enjoy it, but for most it's harrowing. I think there's a fear that if they can't make it happen, their boyfriend will retreat online.
I Can't Stop Staring At Other Women
Looking at other women has become a big problem for me.
I want to learn how to stop. I mean no harm, but it upsets my wife and hurts her. She says I lose touch with reality and become a different person — and don't even notice her.
That's from a 42-year-old man whose been married 16 years. He's totally satisfied with his wife, he says, and has no interest in anyone else.
But he feels he has no control over his ogling. Read the rest of this entry
Objectifying Women Objectifies Men
The four Fs. That's all you need to know about women. Find 'em. Feel 'em. F- 'em. Forget 'em.
The only time 12-year-old Phil had a man-to-man chat with his dad, he got that advice. By the time he was a married 39-year-old professional with two daughters, he seemed to have absorbed the lesson: Read the rest of this entry
When Porn Makes Your Decisions
Pornographic images seem to activate a man's visual system in a manner that goes beyond just looking at trees or even people. It's almost like a high-definition signal compared with a standard signal.
That's from William Struthers, Ph.D., a biopsychologist who wrote Wired for Intimacy.
He says the signal feels a lot like a drug. Some men call porn a "drug" and say it gives them a "rush" and makes them "high." One man called it, "More mind altering than alcohol or any drug I've used." Read the rest of this entry
Sex Is Best When She Likes It
By "Sex Ain't No Game"
It's hard to have a sexual relationship with someone who won't accept the concept of mutual pleasure.
Here's an anecdote containing way too much information:
Considering the tools my current girlfriend and I have, and how fit we are, sex should be easy for both of us to enjoy. And when we began the sexual part of our relationship — both of us being fairly new to it — we learned what the other liked fast.
But it changed a few months back.
It seems she's done research in pornography, and for the past couple of months she does things she thinks girls do all the time during sex. Like incredibly loud moaning from the second we start making out. It starts abruptly, so it doesn't seem like a natural progression.
Long story short, she ignores her own desire and focuses on mine. Read the rest of this entry
Nude Men Seem Less Intelligent
The more skin women reveal, the less men see them as intelligent or empowered.
Instead, nudity promotes the notion that women are sensitive, "feeling" creatures.
Turns out the perception runs both ways with women seeing men as less intelligent and less competent when they show skin, too. In fact, simply "taking off a sweater — or otherwise revealing flesh — can significantly change the way a mind is perceived" say researchers.
And as psychologist, Kurt Gray of the University of Maryland observed: Read the rest of this entry
Want "X" From Sex? So Why Do "Y"?
What do people want from sex? Most want pleasure and closeness. But they don't act like it.
Instead, they're preoccupied with how they look, what their partner is thinking, how they're performing, and what is "normal."
That's what Dr. Marty Klein, a certified sex therapist and sociologist, says in his book, Sexual Intelligence: What We Really Want From Sex and How to Get It. Read the rest of this entry
Elliott Roger Blames Women For Patriarchy's Problems
Women have control over which men get sex and which men don't. Feminism is evil.
And so Elliot Roger blames women for his own problems — and for problems created by patriarchy — as he justifies his sad, horrifying, screwed up human hunting spree.
But then, if everyone else weren't to blame, he would have to feel bad about himself.
Ironically, patriarchy — and not feminism — is the source of the particular problem he cites above. Read the rest of this entry
Porn: Making Men Want What Women Don't
Did the porn industry figure out that by creating male yearnings for things women don't like, they could make more money?
Sometimes it seems like it.
It would make sense: If porn is the only place guys can get a lot of what they want, you keep 'em coming back for more.
Sure, some women are up for pornified sex, whether enthusiastically or not. But an awful lot aren't.
Dr. Robert Jensen, a University of Texas professor and feminist who lectures on pornography says women constantly ask him what they should do when their partners want things they find upsetting.
And I've given my students surveys to compare women's and men's sexual preferences. Here's a small sampling of what I've found (more later!): Read the rest of this entry

ME:Hello Bleez! I have a guestion for you.
BLEEZ: Okay, ask it. But do so quickly. I have to battle Atrocitus.
ME: Okay. Why do you pose that way? Is your spine so different from us humans, that you can bend like that (a speculation made by Caleb Mocozzo, from "Everyday is like wednesday), or is there another reason?
BLEEZ: You know, it would be cool if our species would have a spine like that, but the answer is no. It`s not the answer. It`s because every time I do this pose in a cover, I get 150 dollars from DC.
ME: That`s the reason?
BLEEZ: Yes.
ME: Well, thank you for your time, Bleez.
So, there you have it folks. That`s probably the reason why anyone who do brokeback poses, is precisely that. Now, I have to go to hospital, because Bleez accidently vomited at me, and if I don`t get a proper...treat...treatment...I...willlll...dieeee...

It means that the terms "good and evil" are relative to who is is asking. There are always two sides to a war and each side thinks the other one is the evil one.
Reply+1#39 to #27 - heartlessrobot (10/18/2013) [-]
The victor is never evil, because no one truly perceives themself as evil, they only see what they are doing as good.
#31 to #27 - RageGuyyourmom (10/18/2013) [-]
If you win you're not evil. If Germany had won either of the world war they would probably be named the Wars of German Liberation or something to that effect.

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster left Sunday's game with an irregular heartbeat, but apparently the problem subsided by game's end. Texans coach Gary Kubiak said trainers told him late in the game that Foster could return, according to the Houston Chronicle, but Kubiak decided not to put Foster back in the game. Foster left the stadium before he could be questioned by the media, but he has experienced an irregular heartbeat before and did not seem concerned. "I'll be fine," Foster said in a statement issued by the Texans. "I'll be OK. It's a very minor situation, so I'll be OK." Foster had 165 rushing yards last week, but he left Sunday's game against Minnesota with just 15 yards on 10 carries. Minnesota won the game 23-6.

Product description
How did the city-state of Athens defeat the invaders from Persia, the first world empire, on the plain of Marathon in 490 BCE? Scholars skeptical of our earliest surviving source, Herodotus, have produced one ingenious theory after another. In this stimulating new book, bound to provoke controversy, Peter Krentz argues that Herodotus was right after all. Beginning his analysis with the Athenians' first formal contact with the Persians in 507 BCE, Krentz weaves together ancient evidence with travellers' descriptions, archaeological discoveries, geological surveys, and the experiences of modern reenactors and soldiers to tell his story. Krentz argues that before Marathon the Athenian army fought in a much less organized way than the standard view of the hoplite phalanx suggests: as an irregularly armed mob rather than a disciplined formation of identically equipped infantry. At Marathon the Athenians equipped all their fighters, including archers and horsemen, as hoplites for the first time. Because their equipment weighed only half as much as is usually thought, the Athenians and their Plataean allies could charge almost a mile at a run, as Herodotus says they did. Krentz improves on Herodotus' account by showing why the Athenians wanted to do such a risky thing.

Review quote
"'Historians, topographers, reenactors, and general readers alike will all be indebted to cutting-edge military historian Peter Krentz's original, insightful, witty, provocative, and brilliantly illustrated account of one of the world's most significant battles ever. 'Marathon' is now not only a magic word but also a magical exercise in ancient historiography.' (Paul Cartledge, University of Cambridge) 'Important new evidence, rigorous research and clear-headed analysis are combined to great effect in this original and persuasive study. The best book yet on the fateful events at Marathon.' (Hans van Wees, author of Greek Warfare: Myths and Realities)"

Idaho Star-Brake before turn vs Trailbraking

Ienatsch iirc is a former magazine test rider who got into racing and nearly won an AMA 250 championship. So he should know his stuff and he should be able to express it. But context is important and especially so here.
The top racers brake hard almost to the apex because they have top-racer skills. Even then Jorge Lorenzo, until last year the benchmark in MotoGP, was widely known to have developed unmatched mid-corner speed by getting onto - and off - the brakes sooner than his rivals.
Ienatsch in that article recommends using a wee bit of brake going in. Not a lot - he says most of the braking should happen beforehand. His point IMO is that if you are using a bit of brake then you can more easily use a bit more if required.
What he neglects to distinguish is the way racers trail brake from the way good road riders trail brake. Top racers are not holding a bit of brake just in case they got in too fast, or the turn tightens up. Either scenario will cost them half a second and the best racers' lap times vary by only a couple of tenths lap to lap, unless they are overtaking or defending a line. They know exactly how tight each turn is and if they are fine-tuning their apex speed with the brake we are talking small fractions of one mph. Ienatsch knows this and I imagine the reason he brings racing into the piece is for emphasis.
In road riding the turns usually are much less familiar and he is simply pointing out that it can be helpful to feather the brake in a turn rather than succumb to the belief that in a turn the front brake is off limits. Hence his anecdote about cruiser riders who'd never used the front brake.
But I doubt very much that the author of The Pace is proponing rushing into road turns so hard that you
to use the brake. Think about it: if you can use the brake while leaned over, then if you weren't using the brake you could lean over more.
The deeper point here is that the road (or trail) isn't the track. Cornering on the road at track pace is a quick route to the cemetery. Typically we all have heaps of mid-corner grip to spare most of the time on the road, and especially on unfamiliar roads. Most of the time if we run wide it is not because we run out of grip, but because we can't steer the bike quickly enough to make use of the grip we have, or because the grip level is uncertain and we don't want to test it. in either case braking is a good option, since we have grip to spare - or if we don't then at least we can learn that with the brake. That I think is Ienatsch's core point. And so he recommends being prepared for that choice, by holding a wee bit of brake going in. But - critically, I think - that wee bit of brake isn't really necessary for making the turn. It is just about settling the bike. My point was that those entering road or trail turns hard-ish on the brakes could find some speed and safety by getting slowed sooner. It is not clear to me that Ienatsch would disagree. (But I've been wrong before.
