Tepper's Take: Return of the Take
2014-08-21 12:00:00
Tepper's Take makes its glorious return with Sam Houston State, OJ Simpson's effect on pizza and more.
Get in the #StateOfFootball
with Dave Campbell's Texas Football!
The future of Dave Campbell's Texas Football is now, as we prepare to release our first monthly digital magazine! The August Digital Edition of Dave Campbell'sTexas Football features exclusive high school, college and recruiting coverage from across the state, plus DCTF's 50 Bold Predictions for 2014.
The magazine will be available through the DCTF App starting Friday, and is available as an individual purchase or (to save money) part of a DCTF Legends, Champions or Digital Subscription.
Editor's note: This is Tepper's Take, the weekly column from managing editor Greg Tepper. It's a blend of football and non-football topics. All opinions are Greg Tepper's alone. Enjoy.
It's the August 21 edition of Tepper's Take, Sunday morning waking, faking like my stomach's aching, Moms pull out clothes just for Sunday's best occasion.
First Word
You may have read last week, but I recently went on a road trip across Texas, logging 1,773 miles of the Lone Star State between Dallas and Big Bend. Along the way, we stopped at high school football stadiums as big as San Angelo Stadium (capacity: 17,500) and as small as Balmorhea's Bear Stadium (capacity: 150).
It was an incredible trip (not just because Big Bend is perhaps this state's most amazing, best-kept secret) because it perfectly set the stage for football season. If football season is the main course, my trip was my appetizer.
Why? Because it helped me get back to the root of why we love football, why this is such a football-crazy state, and why I'm perfectly content dedicating my career to it.
Football in Texas isn't about the crowd of 50,000 people at a state championship game. Football in Texas isn't about the pyrotechnics of a college or pro team's entrance. Football in Texas isn't about donors or naming rights or recruiting.
(OK, it's not only about those things.)
Football in Texas is, at its core, found in those small stadiums on state highways in towns that empty out to watch the local 11 take on the 11 from down the road.
Football in Texas is simply simple. It's basic. There are no frills, and yet it's beautiful.
Friday will commence the last weekend without football in Texas until Christmas. The long wait is nearly over.
Games I'd TiVo If The UIL Would Let Me (And College Games I Will, In Fact, TiVo)
No. 17 Sam Houston State (0-0) at No. 1 Eastern Washington (0-0), 2:30 p.m. Saturday
That's right! Between now and next Thursday (when my next column will, as the kids say, "drop"), we've got football! Sam Houston State had a disappointing season by Bearkat standards last season, missing out on the Southland Conference title they've become so accustomed to winning. But with a new coach in K.C. Keeler and a revamped attack, the Bearkats are going to be dangerous once again. But boy, they've got a tall order in the opener, traveling to Eastern Washington and its unique red field. The key for this game is going to be defense — both teams look like they'll score in bunches, but whichever team can find just a couple of stops will come out on top. And, more importantly, IT'S FOOTBALL!
Tepper's pick: Eastern Washington 41, Sam Houston State 31
Abilene Christian (0-0) at Georgia State (0-0), 6 p.m. Wednesday
And who will take part in the first FBS game of the year? Why, none other than the Abilene Christian Wildcats! Georgia State — still in its infancy as an FBS program and a Sun Belt Conference bunkmate of Texas State — gets the spotlight on opening night, but Abilene Christian (playing its first game as a full-fledged member of FCS's Southland Conference) will be looking to play spoiler. This is not a good Georgia State squad – the Panthers were winless last year — but traveling to the Georgia Dome won't be an easy task for the Wildcats. If coach Ken Collums' trademark suffocating defense can find its form early, we could be looking at the state of Texas making a big impact quickly.
Tepper's pick: Abilene Christian 27, Georgia State 24
Three Bold, Sure-To-Be-Wrong Predictions
Nope! Waiting until next week (when there's more to predict) before I get into the prognostication game. But if you're really itching for predictions, the new August Digital Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football has 50 bold predictions for the 2014 season!
Manster Watch!
Each week, I'll identify one player to watch across the state who could be poised for a breakout game. If he does, in fact, have a breakout game (we'll define the stakes each week), he'll get the honorary title of Manster — half-man, half-monster — and a place in this column for the entire season. Also: a month of Netflix. OK, just the title.
No Manster pick this week, since we've got a limited number of games. But if you've got suggestions for Manster nominees this season, let me know on Twitter.
Song Sure to Get You Fired Up for Football
"The Lion The Beast The Beat," by Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. A tip of the hat to my leader Michael Gruber, the musical guru behind the Dallas Stars, who appropriately paired this song with the Stars' pre-game entrance. The group, fronted by the fetching Ms. Potter, is from the northeast (Vermont and New York), and this song is all about the build-up. The first minute or so is relatively slow, but once the guitar hook hits, it takes off.
(By the way, if you have any suggestions for this seasons Songs Sure to Get You Fired Up for Football, send them my way on Twitter.)
Personal Rankings Apropos of Nothing
Top 5 Shows I Watched In The Offseason
1) True Detective (HBO)
2) The West Wing (Netflix)
3) Mad Men (HBO)
4) Top of the Lake (Netflix)
5) Portlandia (IFC and Netflix)
Pre-Game Meal of the Week
Texas toast pizza! OK, so a quick confession: now that I do the television thing (Fox Football Friday Powered by DCTF, every Friday from 7-11pm on Fox Sports Southwest starting next Friday!), I have to watch my girlish figure. As a result, I've found some delicious and nutritious recipes, and this one's at the top of my list. It's easy: get some of that Texas toast (you can find it in the freezer aisle), slather on some pizza sauce, some low-fat mozzarella cheese and some turkey pepperoni, slam those bad boys in the oven and presto. Dinner is served. And yes, it's embarrassing to admit to a statewide audience that I watch what I eat. Sigh.
Bye Week Distraction
If you are the fan of pretty much 99% of teams, your team isn't playing. So you'll need something to get you through the weekend. I'm here to help.
I don't share this lightly, because I realize what an effect I can have on the American economy (specifically productivity), but here goes: SNESFun.com is a site where you can play every Super Nintendo game for free on your computer. Say goodbye to your free time.
Yell At Me
I'm available via e-mail or via Twitter. Let me know if you like my column, or if you preferred Sega Genesis as a kid, or both.
Impressive (and True!) Trivia of the Week
Did you know that the night in 1994 that OJ Simpson famously went on the low-speed chase through Los Angeles led to record-setting pizza delivery sales for Domino's? I just remember that it interrupted the NBA Finals.
Go football!

On April 1 – April 4, while other 10th graders are enjoying a spring break, one local teen will be launching her new not-for-profit– The Purple Tutu.
Using her nine years of dance training, love of classical music and dedication to teaching, Holland McDowell, The Purple Tutu's founder and instructor, will teach classical ballet to youth with Down Syndrome. Her goal is to pay it forward with some of the confidence, strength and grace that learning ballet has given her.
The mission of The Purple Tutu is to bring the beauty and artistry of ballet to dancers with Down Syndrome who may feel that classical dance training is out of their reach.
Holland was inspired to create The Purple Tutu when she learned that many children with Down Syndrome have great flexibility but lack the core strength that can be vastly improved through classical training.
Students will be accepted on a first come / first serve basis. Each class will be taught at Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church. A $15 donation will be requested at class registration. All profits generated by The Purple Tutu will go to a scholarship fund to benefit the education of a child with special needs.
Participants are encouraged to wear sweatpants/yoga pants, a T-shirt and bare feet. Tutus will be provided for class use.
Holland McDowell began her formal dance training at age 7 with Charleston Ballet Theatre School and has been dancing for nine years. Holland is trained in classical ballet, pointe, jazz, tap and musical theatre. She has performed in productions including: Charleston Ballet Theatre's "The Nutcracker," "The Little Mermaid," "Romeo and Juliet," "Cinderella," "The Wiz," "Willie Wonka" and "Alice in Wonderland." Holland attended The South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities Summer Dance 2012 program.
Holland currently studies under the direction of the Charleston Dance Institute, teaches ballet to children at Meeting Street Academy and attends the Academic Magnet High School (Class of 2015.)
If you would like to participate with the program or donate to The Purple Tutu, please email email@example.com.

OtterBox announces waterproof case, battery case, and their first app for iPhone
At CES 2013, OtterBox announced the Armor Series for the iPhone 4, 4S and 5, their first waterproof case in a long time. It's got plenty of padding for impact protection, including plugs for headphone and dock/Lightning port, and a non-permeable film around the speakers that can let sound out without the device getting wet. Once the tough metal clamps are in place, you can submerge your iPhone over 6 feet for half an hour, drop it from 10 feet, and blast as much dust as you want at it without any worries.
The arguably more interesting product OtterBox was showing off at the show was the Defender Series with iOn Intelligence - a new variant with an integrated backup battery and a dedicated iOS application for monitoring how much juice is left in the pack and in your iPhone. In addition to have the three layers of protection we're used to, there's also a microUSB plug to keep everything charged. There's no data pass-through, so you'll still need to take your iPhone out if you ever want to sync, but for the convenience of extra power and protection, I'd say it's worth the compromise.
The only downside is that you'll be paying a steep premium of $130 for the Defender Series with iOn Intelligence. No word on release date just yet, but it should be out sometime this spring. The Armor series OtterBox for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5 will be available February 22 for $99.95 online and at AT&T stores. Any takers? You can get a closer look at the Armor series over here.

OtterBox announces waterproof case, battery case, and their first app for iPhone
I have this case and it is a fantastic new case far better than LifeProof case.
Nice case, but I prefer the Pong Research case. I read that the cell phones emit a dangerous non-ionizing form of electromagnetic radiation; radiation which can be absorbed by the tissues and cells which come into close contact with the phone. That's why I decided to do something that reduce iPhone radiation levels for protect to my family. I read about Pong Research cases, Pong technology is custom-designed for each mobile device and works to redirect radiation away from your head and body. I hesitated about it, anyway, I bought a case Pong because is the only technology proven in FCC-certified laboratories to reduce the exposure to mobile device radiation by up to 95% below the FCC limit without compromising the device's ability to communicate.
I need a case for iphone . My friend gave me this http://www.jsxltech.com website and told me about one case and see details here. She says that is great and cool looking and Aluminum Case with Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard.
So what should i do?

"Unexpected." It was with this notion that brothers Robb and Mike Whittlef developed HISTORIC Studio and its ever-changing, curated collections of objects and antiques. Located in Minneapolis, this is the newest addition to the firm's 20-year history in retail and product and interior design for some of the biggest connoisseurs. So whether it be an 1880s French Pharmacy cabinet, a Danish midcentury sofa set or that perfect bronze bust needed to complete a desk—these guys probably have it!

The nice thing about Google Chrome's auto-update feature is that almost all users are running the latest version of the software. This is really important for web developers, who no longer have to worry that a large number of users haven't upgraded from Chrome 2 or Chrome 3. It's not necessary to test a site in multiple versions of Google Chrome and it's safe to use features added in the latest version of the browser.
Gmail's help center lists the supported browsers and includes the minimum version number required next to each browser, except Google Chrome.
Unfortunately, even if Chrome installs the latest version, you can't use it until you restart the browser. Google started to add a little orange dot next to the wrench icon and show messages like: "Old school's not cool. Google Chrome is woefully out of date because it hasn't crashed or restarted in a while. Restart Chrome to apply update."

Professor, General Faculty
Associate Director, Center for National Security Law
J.D., University of Virginia School of Law, 1981
S.J.D., University of Virginia School of Law, 1996
B.A., Indiana University, 1968
Robert F. Turner holds both professional and academic doctorates from the University of Virginia School of Law. He co-founded the Center for National Security Law with Professor John Norton Moore in April 1981 and has served as its associate director since then except for two periods of government service in the 1980s and during 1994-95, when he occupied the Charles H. Stockton Chair of International Law at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. A veteran of two Army tours in Vietnam, Turner served as a research associate and public affairs fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace before spending five years in the mid-1970s as national security adviser to Senator Robert P. Griffin, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has also served in the executive branch as a member of the Senior Executive Service, first in the Pentagon as Special Assistant to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, then in the White House as Counsel to the President's Intelligence Oversight Board, and at the State Department as acting assistant secretary for legislative affairs. In 1986-87, he was the first president of the congressionally established United States Institute of Peace.
A former three-term chairman of the ABA Standing Committee on Law and National Security (and for many years editor of the ABA National Security Law Report), Turner has taught undergraduate courses at Virginia on international law, U.S. foreign policy, the Vietnam War and foreign policy and the law in what is now the Woodrow Wilson Department of Politics. In addition he the law school seminars Advanced Topics in National Security Law I & II with Professor Moore.
The author or editor of more than fifteen books and monographs (including co-editor of the Center's National Security Law, National Security Law Documents, and Legal Issues in the Struggle Against Terror) and numerous articles in law reviews and professional journals, Turner has also contributed articles to most of the major U.S. newspapers. In an op-ed published in the International Herald Tribune in September 1990, he and Professor John Norton Moore were the first to call for a war-crimes trial for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and the following month he wrote the lead story in the Washington Post Outlook Section entitled "Killing Saddam: Would It Be a Crime," arguing that Saddam would be a lawful target during Operation Desert Storm. Eight years later, he published an op-ed in USA Today entitled "In Self-defense, U.S. has Right to Kill bin Laden." In July 2007, he co-authored a piece in the Washington Post with former U.S. Marine Corps Commandant General P.X. Kelley entitled "War Crimes and the White House" criticizing the use of unlawful interrogation techniques by the Central Intelligence Agency.
A former distinguished lecturer at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Turner is a member of the the Council on Foreign Relations, the Academy of Political Science, the Committee on the Present Danger, and other professional organizations. He was selected for inclusion in Who's Who in American Law less than two years after graduating from law school and Who's Who in the World before he reached the age of forty. Dr. Turner has testified before more than a dozen different congressional committees on issues of international or constitutional law and related topics.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
"In Brooklyn, a castle, is where dwell I"
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
They're going to need a novel to iron out all the inconsistencies in Tarkin's backstory by the time they're finished. He's officially got more contradictions than Boba Fett can even dream of.
No contradictions, since the EU doesn't officially count.
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
Don't blame me, I didn't come up with the title, I just used what Lucasfilm sent. It's a really odd idea to have Tarkin and Anakin bond over their opinions that the Jedi aren't getting it done in the war.
I think it's good to see Anakin's early inclinations of his contrary opinions to the Jedi code. We saw some of that in AOTC, then in ROTS and how he was put in an impossible position by Palpatine and the Jedi till he broke. The Jedi should have seen that coming from such an unstable individual, but destiny took it's course.

The City of Antlers will hold a Special Election on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. The purpose of this election is for residents of Antlers to decide whether or not to pass a 1/2 cent tax increase. This will be a NEW tax, not just a renewal of a tax we already see.
The money collected from this tax would only be used to repair the streets in Antlers. The proposed 1/2 cent tax that would last 5 years, unless reapproved by voters in 2018. The tax is estimated to generate approximately $800,000.00 that would be used to repair and upgrade our city streets.
If this new tax is approved, it would make our total sales tax 10%, which would then be the same as the City of Hugo.
The new tax would not go into effect until around April of 2015. Due to the extremely tight budget the City of Antlers has to work with, and the rising cost of materials, they feel this is the only way they would be able to have enough funds available to properly replace and repair city streets.
While speaking of elections, remember that as of Nov. 1st, a new state law will change the dates and times voters have come to expect for early voting in Pushmataha County.
Now, early voting begins a day earlier - on Thursday - and continues on Friday. Early voting on Monday is discontinued.
These changes have occurred due to the approval of SB 869, which was signed into law in May of 2013. As a result, Thursday, November 7, 2013, is the first day for in-person absentee aka "early" voting, in the November 12th Special Election. Please remember, this election is for Antlers City residents ONLY.

When Linda Farrow launched her namesake eyewear collection in 1970, the number of designers who regarded sunglasses as anything more than a merely utilitarian accessory probably could have fit inside a Mayfair boutique. Attitudes have changed since then, but Farrow's focus on creating ultra-fashionable sunglasses has not. With Farrow's son, Simon Jablon, at the helm, this London-based label continues to produce top-quality sunglasses and optical frames that run the gamut from refined and traditional to austere and avant-garde. The Linda Farrow Luxe collection offers frames to fit every face shape and taste: oversize rectangular shades and classic cat eyes for traditionalists, flamboyant black wayfarers covered in snakeskin (the Luxe 38) for Roberto Cavalli-inspired trendsetters, even classic aviators with 24-karat gold-plated lenses for diehard eyewear adventurists. Through Luxe and its frequent collaborations with high-end designers and fashion houses (Dries van Noten, Jeremy Scott, and the Row, to name just a few), Linda Farrow remains at the forefront of eyewear design.

- Age-related increase of oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in mice prevention by Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) (2001)
- Enhanced apoptosis and elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in aging. In addition, several neurodegenerative diseases are associated with increased oxidative stress and apoptosis in neuronal tissue. Antioxidative treatment has neuro-protective effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate changes of susceptibility to apoptotic cell death by oxidative stress in aging and its inhibition by the antioxidant Ginkgo biloba extract EGb761. We investigated basal and ROS-induced levels of apoptotic lymphocytes derived from the spleen in young (3 months) and old (24 months) mice. ROS were induced by 2-deoxy-D-ribose (dRib) that depletes the intracellular pool of reduced glutathione. Lymphocytes from aged mice accumulate apoptotic cells to a significantly higher extent under basal conditions compared to cells from young mice. Treatment with dRib enhanced this difference, implicating a higher sensitivity to ROS in aging. Apoptosis can be reduced in vitro by treatment with EGb761. In addition, mice were treated daily with 100mg/kg EGb761 per os over a period of two weeks. ROS-induced apoptosis was significantly reduced in the EGb761 group. Interestingly, this effect seemed to be more pronounced in old mice.
- Effects of EGb 761® Ginkgo biloba extract on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress (2003)
- As major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial structures are exposed to high concentrations of ROS and may therefore be particularly susceptible to oxidative damage. Mitochondrial damage could play a pivotal role in the cell death decision. A decrease in mitochondrial energy charge and redox state, loss of transmembrane potential (depolarization), mitochondrial respiratory chain impairment, and release of substances such as calcium and cytochrome c all contribute to apoptosis. These mitochondrial abnormalities may constitute a part of the spectrum of chronic oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease. Accumulation of amyloid beta (Abeta) in form of senile plaques is also thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease mediated by oxidative stress. In addition, increasing evidence shows that Abeta generates free radicals in vitro, which mediate the toxicity of this peptide. In our study, PC12 cells were used to examine the protective features of EGb 761(definition see editorial) on mitochondria stressed with hydrogen peroxide and antimycin, an inhibitor of complex III. In addition, we investigated the efficacy of EGb 761 in Abeta-induced MTT reduction in PC12 cells. Moreover, we examined the effects of EGb 761 on ROS levels and ROS-induced apoptosis in lymphocytes from aged mice after in vivo administration. Here, we will report that EGb 761 was able to protect mitochondria from the attack of hydrogen peroxide, antimycin and Abeta. Furthermore, EGb 761 reduced ROS levels and ROS-induced apoptosis in lymphocytes from aged mice treated orally with EGb 761 for 2 weeks. Our data further emphasize neuroprotective properties of EGb 761, such as protection against Abeta-toxicity, and antiapoptotic properties, which are probably due to its preventive effects on mitochondria.

- Quantum stochasticity and neuronal computations (2009)
- Presented at: Quantum Mind Conference 2007, Salzburg, Austria, 17 July 2007 The nervous system probably cannot display macroscopic quantum (i.e. classically impossible) behaviours such as quantum entanglement, superposition or tunnelling (Koch and Hepp, Nature 440:611, 2006). However, in contrast to this quantum 'mysticism' there is an alternative way in which quantum events might influence the brain activity. The nervous system is a nonlinear system with many feedback loops at every level of its structural hierarchy. A conventional wisdom is that in macroscopic objects the quantum fluctuations are self-averaging and thus not important. Nevertheless this intuition might be misleading in the case of nonlinear complex systems. Because of a high sensitivity to initial conditions, in chaotic systems the microscopic fluctuations may be amplified upward and thereby affect the system's output. In this way stochastic quantum dynamics might sometimes alter the outcome of neuronal computations, not by generating classically impossible solutions, but by influencing the selection of many possible solutions (Satinover, Quantum Brain, Wiley & Sons, 2001). I am going to discuss recent theoretical proposals and experimental findings in quantum mechanics, complexity theory and computational neuroscience suggesting that biological evolution is able to take advantage of quantum-computational speed-up. I predict that the future research on quantum complex systems will provide us with novel interesting insights that might be relevant also for neurobiology and neurophilosophy.
- Entorhinal denervation induces homeostatic synaptic scaling of excitatory postsynapses of dentate granule cells in mouse organotypic slice cultures (2012)
- Denervation-induced changes in excitatory synaptic strength were studied following entorhinal deafferentation of hippocampal granule cells in mature (≥3 weeks old) mouse organotypic entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed an increase in excitatory synaptic strength in response to denervation during the first week after denervation. By the end of the second week synaptic strength had returned to baseline. Because these adaptations occurred in response to the loss of excitatory afferents, they appeared to be in line with a homeostatic adjustment of excitatory synaptic strength. To test whether denervation-induced changes in synaptic strength exploit similar mechanisms as homeostatic synaptic scaling following pharmacological activity blockade, we treated denervated cultures at 2 days post lesion for 2 days with tetrodotoxin. In these cultures, the effects of denervation and activity blockade were not additive, suggesting that similar mechanisms are involved. Finally, we investigated whether entorhinal denervation, which removes afferents from the distal dendrites of granule cells while leaving the associational afferents to the proximal dendrites of granule cells intact, results in a global or a local up-scaling of granule cell synapses. By using computational modeling and local electrical stimulations in Strontium (Sr2+)-containing bath solution, we found evidence for a lamina-specific increase in excitatory synaptic strength in the denervated outer molecular layer at 3–4 days post lesion. Taken together, our data show that entorhinal denervation results in homeostatic functional changes of excitatory postsynapses of denervated dentate granule cells in vitro.
- Functional and structural properties of dentate granule cells with hilar basal dendrites in mouse entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures (2012)
- During postnatal development hippocampal dentate granule cells (GCs) often extend dendrites from the basal pole of their cell bodies into the hilar region. These so-called hilar basal dendrites (hBD) usually regress with maturation. However, hBDs may persist in a subset of mature GCs under certain conditions (both physiological and pathological). The functional role of these hBD-GCs remains not well understood. Here, we have studied hBD-GCs in mature (≥18 days in vitro) mouse entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures under control conditions and have compared their basic functional properties (basic intrinsic and synaptic properties) and structural properties (dendritic arborisation and spine densities) to those of neighboring GCs without hBDs in the same set of cultures. Except for the presence of hBDs, we did not detect major differences between the two GC populations. Furthermore, paired recordings of neighboring GCs with and without hBDs did not reveal evidence for a heavy aberrant GC-to-GC connectivity. Taken together, our data suggest that in control cultures the presence of hBDs on GCs is neither sufficient to predict alterations in the basic functional and structural properties of these GCs nor indicative of a heavy GC-to-GC connectivity between neighboring GCs.
- Denervation-induced dendritic reorganization leads to changes in the electrotonic architecture of model dentate granule cells (2013)
- Poster presentation: Twenty Second Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2013. Paris, France. 13-18 July 2013. Neuronal death and subsequent denervation of target areas is a major feature of several neurological conditions such as brain trauma, ischemia or neurodegeneration. The denervation-induced axonal loss results in reorganization of the dendritic tree of denervated neurons. Dendritic reorganization of denervated neurons has been previously studied using entorhinal cortex lesion (ECL). ECL leads to shortening and loss of dendritic segments in the denervated outer molecular layer of the dentate gyrus [1]. However, the functional importance of these long-term dendritic alterations is not yet understood and their impact on neuronal electrical properties remains unclear. Therefore, in this study we analyzed what happens to the electrotonic structure and excitability of dentate granule cells after denervation-induced alterations of their dendritic morphology, assuming all other parameters remain equal. To perform comparative electrotonic analysis we used computer simulations in anatomically and biophysically realistic compartmental models of 3D-reconstructed healthy and denervated granule cells. Our results show that somatofugal and somatopetal voltage attenuation due to passive cable properties was strongly reduced in denervated granule cells. In line with these predictions, the attenuation of simulated backpropagating action potentials and forward propagating EPSPs was significantly reduced in dendrites of denervated neurons. In addition, simulations of somatic and dendritic frequency-current (f-I) curves revealed increased excitability in deafferentated granule cells. Taken together, our results indicate that unless counterbalanced by a compensatory adjustment of passive and/or active membrane properties, the plastic remodeling of dendrites following lesion of entorhinal cortex inputs to granule cells will boost their electrotonic compactness and excitability.
- Modeling the effects of neuronal morphology on dendritic chloride diffusion and GABAergic inhibition (2014)
- Poster presentation at the Twenty Third Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2014 Québec City, Canada. 26-31 July 2014. Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABAARs) are ligand-gated chloride (Cl−) channels which mediate the majority of inhibitory neurotransmission in the CNS. Spatiotemporal changes of intracellular Cl− concentration alter the concentration gradient for Cl− across the neuronal membrane and thus affect the current flow through GABAARs and the efficacy of GABAergic inhibition. However, the impact of complex neuronal morphology on Cl− diffusion and the redistribution of intracellular Cl− is not well understood. Recently, computational models for Cl− diffusion and GABAAR-mediated inhibition in realistic neuronal morphologies became available [1-3]. Here we have used computational models of morphologically complex dendrites to test the effects of spines on Cl− diffusion. In all dendritic morphologies tested, spines slowed down longitudinal Cl− diffusion along dendrites and decreased the amount and spatial spread of synaptically evoked Cl− changes. Spine densities of 2-10 spines/µm decreased the longitudinal diffusion coefficient of Cl− to 80-30% of its value in smooth dendrites, respectively. These results suggest that spines are able to limit short-term ionic plasticity [4] at dendritic GABAergic synapses.

To The Editor:
When I was cleaning out my desk today preparing for retirement, I came across a file marked "fun" where I toss things that amuse me. Well, the attached has made me laugh twice. Note the date. Not sure who the sheriff was....but I wrote the story back then and saved it. And it only took 18-plus years to build a new bridge.
August 5, 1995
About a week ago, the board of adjustment, a few selectmen, honchos from the state transportation agency, fish and game and a poobah from the river protection group, about 15 in all, were standing on the bridge by Kingsbury Store. The bridge crosses over the Mad River and was slated to be realigned and rebuilt.
Each group had an opinion on how big it should be, where it should go, what it should cost and how to best protect the wildlife from the proposed changes. In short, there was a lot of shucking and jiving going on while one group tried to assert its opinion without alienating all of the others.
The negotiations were broken up abruptly by the arrival of the local sheriff on two wheels. He had been sent by a neighbor who could see the bridge from his house and he was there to apprehend the people "smoking dope and blocking the bridge."
Not too far from the truth, eh?

Blue skies and bright sunshine provided the perfect backdrop for an Earth Day celebration. Alpha and its Brooks Run West office hosted a field trip complete with cookout for Logan Middle School's six grade students.
Alpha provided each student with an Earth Day t-shirt and a backpack with some items tucked inside to take home .
The students were taken on a tour of the North Surface mine, with someone on the bus to explain everything they were seeing, which included witnessing a shot; a full spread of equipment, including a super-size rock truck and dozer, working on reclamation activities at two locations and an impoundment. The students thought the shot going off was the most impressive thing on the tour, almost without exception.
After the tour, the students were broken up into groups to take turns planting 300 oak trees with WV Delegate Justin Marcum, Adam Jewell; learning about water and chemicals used in the water from Scott Marcum and Mike Murphy from Enviro Mine; a lesson about electricity from Steve Smith and Stan Wonnell and it was topped off with a cookout.
Mike Gillum and other representatives from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) were also with the students to answer questions and explain processes.
Employees from the Brooks Run West office, located at Holden, worked together to coordinate moving the students from activity to activity, answering questions and and preparing lunch.
"Today has been a learning experience for them—and me," said event organizer Joey Elia.
Shelby Sanson said there were nearly 200 students who took park in the celebration.
According to a PBS article, the first Earth Day was organized by former U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970 as a way to bring environmental protection onto the national political agenda. Organizers expect more than a billion people in 192 countries to take part in the 2013 celebrations.

Graduate School of Education News
GSE alumni outreach: alumni input requested
Under the leadership of GSE Dean Julie Gess-Newsome, the GSE hopes to re-engage with its alumni; the first step in the process involves a question.
The GSE is in the process of making a decision about what direction to go with its graduation ceremony; as many alumni know, the school has traditionally held graduation in May with the College of Law, Atkinson Graduate School of Management and the College of Liberal Arts.
Planners are now considering the option of moving the ceremony to June, when the MAT program actually finishes. If you're an alumnus of the GSE and would like to weigh in, visit a quick online survey.
Note also that a member of the GSE faculty, Jill Bryant, was recently selected as a recipient of Willamette's United Methodist Award for Exemplary Teaching and Service. For details on all the campus awards, visit the story in this edition of WU News.

The 10 Things You Need in Your Diaper "Bag"
Handle any situation! Be ready for the unexpected! But don't tote around a heavy, over-burdened diaper bag that weighs you down.
Forget the expensive mad dash to a store for items you left at home. Instead, focus on these ten essentials that meet your needs by doing double duty or packed in just the right amount.
1. Key word: Tote. Gone are the days of the diaper bag. Use one great tote that you like to carry and keep only the essentials inside. Works later on as a carry-all for the plane, laptop bag, purse etc.
2. Multi-purpose Bebe au Lait breastfeeding cover–nursing, pumping, privacy on-the-go. Doubles as a sunshade over a stroller or front-carrier + as a lightweight blanket + as a "staring stranger" shield around town or on a plane + a changing mat. Machine washable, over and over,
3. Baby wipes. For Baby, you, seats, tables…the list goes on. Be sure they're in a re-closable and refillable container so you're never without.
4. Diapers. 3 per baby per 4 hour period of time.
5. Ointment or diaper cream in a small tube.
5. Two small toys, preferably favorites OR ones Baby hasn't seen in a while.
6. Ibuprofen &/or acetominophen (check with your Doctor for dosage and appropriate uses)
7. 2 small, plastic bags (preferably re-used from the grocery store) for stinky trash or wet clothes.
8. One extra outfit.
9. Natural, unscented lip balm–great for your lips, cuticles, sore nipples, and to quickly force your eyebrows into shape as well as provide a pretty bit of light on top of your cheekbones when you haven't had time to do makeup!
10. Hand sanitizer.
Mom-to-Mom tip: After every trip with your tote, be sure to re-stock and re-organize so you're always ready to go.

This was my 2nd Illusion d'ombre purchase (Illusoire was my first). This is a bit trickier for me to wear – the reddish brown can make my eyes look tired or irritated if I'm not careful to build up the colour. But this is a beautiful shadow if I apply it correctly or if I use it as a base under other browns/neutrals.

WHITLEY COUNTY — The investigation continues after a body was found in a wooded area in Whitley County Wednesday night.
Authorities suspect foul play after a man was found dead on County Road 800 East (County Line Road) north of Old Trail Road.
Whitley County Coroner Randy Dellinger said the body had been there for a while, and was found face down in the woods.
The probe, headed by the Criminal Investigation Division of the Indiana State Police, assisted by the Whitley County Sheriff's Department, is ongoing at this time.
An autopsy was conducted this morning by a forensic center, as Dellinger said there were no obvious signs of how the man died.
"At this time, investigators are working to determine the man's identity, where he lived, how he came to be where he was discovered, and most importantly, the cause and manner of his death," Indiana State Police Spokesperson Ron Galaviz said in a press release early Friday morning. "The autopsy will hopefully shed some answers into the man's demise."
The man was discovered just after 8 p.m. Wednesday by a Whitley County property owner.
Investigators are continuing to sift through missing persons reports and following up on information, but are seeking tips from the public. Galaviz asks anyone with information that may help investigators with the case to call 432-8661 or 800-552-0976.

Barhite: Anniversary marks ongoing effort to curb violence against womenWritten by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | email@example.com
Lauren Merrell, a UT grad student studying social work, is helping organize the 20th annual Take Back the Night.
But more significantly she might decide to speak out herself.
"I recently became a survivor last March 2013," she said. "I think I might talk about it. It takes a lot of courage."
While Merrell doesn't want to say more yet, on her own time she will relay her story of violence against women.
For now, she wants to make sure both victims and advocates come to Take Back the Night on April 26 at the University of Toledo, Scott Park Campus. The resource fair begins at 6 p.m.; the events begin at 7 p.m.
The evening includes the women's march and survivor speakout, in addition to an ally/men's program. Everything is free and open to the public. Childcare is provided.
"I think that Take Back the Night is one event where so many people come together and it is such a supporting environment and an environment of sisterhood and an environment of healing. There is a 'Take Back the Night high' after you leave," Merrell said.
Sharon Barnes, associate UT professor, has been involved in Toledo's version of this grassroots effort since the beginning.
Twenty years later, she wishes an anniversary celebration wasn't necessary.
"We are looking forward to the day when we don't have to have a Take Back the Night," she said. "We are not happy that we still have to protest violence against women."
The first event was hosted in front of University Hall at UT. A conference in Toledo about violence attended by prominent feminist gave it momentum.
"One of the ways it is different now is we are much better organized. Many of us have done it for a few years," Barnes said.
The first year the women marched from the front of University Hall to Ottawa Park, the organizers forget about transportation to get people back to University Hall.
"It was a rookie mistake and it is quite hilarious," Barnes said.
In the beginning, the event attracted 50-60 people with upwards of 400 people these days.
"For some women, they come back every year. It is a way to mark their own progress and their own healing," according to Barnes.
But you don't need to be a survivor to attend. Many come to supports friends and family who have survived or remember those who have been murdered.
Barnes said adding the men's program is a change from 20 years ago.
"The community rally is open to everyone. The men's go to the men's event and the women march, and then the women come back and speak out about their violence," Barnes said.
"There are lots of women who say, 'I have never told anyone about this before,' and then they tell you this unbelievable horrible story."
Speaking isn't required, though.
"Surely, women come and don't speak and feel comforted and feel like they are not alone," Barnes said.
Meanwhile, the men attend their program, which addresses rape culture, how to be an advocate and how to confront other men.
"Men need to work with each about how to become advocates 365 days of the year," Barnes said. "We know that men listen to men."
Michelle Rizzi Salerno was murdered by her husband, Dennis, in 2000. Her mother, Pat Rizzi, tries to attend Take Back the Night whenever she can, although this year she will be out of town.
She wants more men to attend because she is tired of women being blamed and hearing the phrase, "He just snapped."
"Men need to stand up and say, 'This isn't acceptable. This behavior has to change,'" Rizzi said.
At the time of her daughter's murder, Michelle was grad student at The Michigan State University.
"I pressured her to leave," Rizzi said. "I had no idea you needed to develop a safety plan."
Rizzi said too many times people think that victims just need to leave, but that sometimes puts them in the most danger.
Not until the end, did she fear for her daughter's life. When she didn't show up to a family outing, she called the police.
"I didn't realize she was in danger of being murdered. I just thought she was in a bad marriage," Rizzi said of her initial thoughts.
According to the National Organization for Women, every 20 seconds a woman in is battered by her partner. Annually, nearly 5 million incidences of domestic violence and rape are reported, and one-third of women murdered in the U.S. are killed by an intimate partner.
Barnes said Take Back the Night addresses all forms of violence against women. And no one is immune. Violence against women crosses all communities, demographics and economic levels.
"I think we are all personally affected," Barnes said. "My freedom of motion in the world is affected because I am perceived as a target."
That is why the march is so empowering. Women are walking in the dark, something that they are warned against doing.
"The event is a safe place for survivors and women. When women come off that march, they feel empowered. They know they are going to be believed and respected," Barnes said.
One year, it was freezing rain, but the women still marched.
"It was horrible. It was so freezing. There was something amazingly powerful about taking the street in those conditions," Barnes said.
The silent witness and clothesline projects have become mainstays of the event and will continue this year. Silhouettes of women murdered are on display, while T-shirts are decorated to depict those who survived — and those who didn't.
"It is another mechanism of making the survivor's experience visible. It plays on the airing the dirty laundry concept. It is a way to graphically show and demonstrate the experience of women who are not seen and believed," Barnes said.
Merrell said anyone can benefit from attending Take Back the Night, even those who just want to learn how to help a victim.
"If someone does come, I hope it changes their view of domestic violence and violence against women," she said. "I think a lot of people get stuck in society's way of viewing violence against women."
Merrell wants the women to remember this: "They are not alone. It is not their fault, and we believe them."

The Halo EffectWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
Walking may be one of the more underrated and least glamorized forms of exercise, but there are many songs devoted to it.
Johnny Cash gave us "Walk the Line." Dionne Warwick advised us to "Walk On By." Nancy Sinatra said, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."
There are dozens more*, including songs about walking that do not use the word in the title. The one-hit wonders The Proclaimers, in "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)," testified they would walk 500 miles for their girl; the Bee Gees bragged about their walking prowess in "Stayin' Alive"; and Green Day, in "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," wails, "I walk alone, I walk alone."
That's one song I don't sing much these days, as while I am walking more than at any time in my adult life, I am rarely by myself.
Since Sept. 1, as part of a major lifestyle change that included bariatric sleeve surgery on Sept. 18, I have walked every day, at least one mile but up to as many as four. I started at 380 pounds; as of this writing, I am just under 298 pounds, so I have left a lot of excess weight on the sidewalks and walking paths of my journey.
From the beginning, when I started talking about the decision with my primary care physician, or doctor, as I call him, I have been told and retold that exercise is the key to weight loss, in conjunction of course with watching what you eat. Since I have been living for two months on liquid medical protein with the slow reintroduction of food through such mushy treats as sugar-free applesauce, low-fat cottage cheese and baby food, the eating side is under control. Post-surgery, I have about 15 percent of my original stomach left, so there is no real choice.
The baby food weeks were particularly challenging. I would stand in front of the shelves at Meijer, considering jars of brightly colored Gerber products like a sommelier studying a collection of fine wine. I would choose a jar, hold it up to the light and read the label, considering the color, consistency and ingredients. I do not recommend the herb chicken, but the lasagna was palatable, as were most of the vegetable flavors.
When I first started walking, even a few blocks would have me hobbling like an old dray horse trying to navigate a road filled with nails, broken glass and land mines. But with the proper shoes and an attitude blending equal parts determination and resignation, each day got better.
I bought an inexpensive pedometer and marked off paths of one, two and three miles around my neighborhood at home and around the Downtown offices of Toledo Free Press. I have met more neighbors and seen more of my town in eight weeks than I had in ten years. At home, my wife, two young sons and our little dog, too, all march along, enjoying the weather when it allows. Downtown, there is an endless stream of people to watch and traffic to dodge. I see people entering and leaving The Swamp Shop at Fifth Third Field, scurrying up and down sidewalks and keeping Downtown's heartbeat steady.
On bad weather days, I hike a path at a local mall, weaving around shoppers and trying to keep pace with the walking seniors.
One phenomenon accompanying bariatric surgery is "The Halo Effect." This is a ring of influence that sees people around the patient becoming more aware of their own health and taking positive action. This has been gratifyingly true in my heightened case; as I have made this journey a public story, I have heard from hundreds of people who have had the surgery, are contemplating the surgery or have someone in their lives who might need to explore the possibility. Reader support has been comforting and terrific, but I owe even more gratitude to the friends and family who have supported me in ways great and small, from checking in through texts and Facebook to actively walking with me. I will make the effort with or without a walking partner, but it does make it easier and seem to go faster while talking to someone, and my pace is usually more intense.
I knew when I started on this path that the journey would last forever. Knowing there are people walking beside me makes it more enjoyable and fun. At 82 pounds down, I am halfway to my goal. With my family, friends and "The Halo Effect," I have faith that goal is not only attainable, it is sustainable.
As I hum to my diminishing belly as I circle the blocks, "Because you're mine, I walk the line."

Roy Orbison, U2 and Neil Young all urged us to "Walk On." Matt Monro, Kelly Clarkson and Five Finger Death Punch all suggested we "Walk Away."

Dink Flamingo's Active Duty Hot American Soldiers Having Wild Gay Sex
Cowboy and Jax came over thinking they'd be doing individual solo jack off sessions, but once I seen the two I knew I had to get them side by side for a double. I told them I was running short on time and that I would only be able to film them jerking off together. They hesitated a bit at first, but as you see, they eventually gave in. It is during this session that I realize we have the making of a great video. The comfort and ease between the two is obvious as their skin nearly sticks together they are so close. Of course I told them that they needed to scoot in a bit since I did not have a wide angle lense (wink). At the end of this session I make them promise to return after they get out of the field to do their individual solos. They agree.
