We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
In 2010, auto manufacturers recalled a staggering 20 million cars in the US for various defects. The thought of such a large number of defective cars on the road is startling enough. But what is more disturbing is the apathy of some owners. In one instance, the executive director of the Center for Auto Safety warned owners, Its a free repair. Get it done. It may save your life. Yet, despite the risk to their own lives, 30 percent never responded.
Likewise, many ignore Gods recall notice to the entire human race. Unlike a defect found in automobiles, the moral defect of the human race is not the Makers fault. He made everything very good (Gen. 1:31), but peoples sin ruined it. Gods offer to us is repent . . . that your sins may be blotted out (Acts 3:19).
God offers not just a free repair of the human heart but a replacement of it (Ezek. 36:26; 2 Cor. 5:17). Though the offer costs us nothing (Eph. 2:8-9), it cost God the life of His only Son Jesus Christ. [Jesus] bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousnessby whose stripes you were healed (1 Peter 2:24).
Dont ignore the Lords call. The free and permanent remedy offered by God for your spiritual defect will save your life!
Read: Acts 3:13-21
Hi Everybody!
Been there, done that. MCRD San Diego 2007, OCS Quantico 2011. How proud we are.
Those who graduated should be.
Man...things got really busy here for a bit!
I lived on PI in 1964-65 as a 13 year old. It was my father's last duty station before retiring.
Let me tell you that things were hopping there. They were running through a huge number of recruits due to the escalation in Viet Nam. Which was where my father served before coming to PI.
My father was a boot there in WW2, a DI there later in the war, and retired from there in 1965. A Marine of exemplary patriotism and *honor* until he died in 2003. Few of our "leaders" today would be fit to polish his boots.
Spent three wonderful months there in 1989.
LOL! Good stuff, Conor! Poor kids!
Nite...see ya in the morning! (((hugs)))
Hope your legs are doing better!
Thanks, Galz, for a great Road Trip! Wish I could really go to all those neat places we "travel" to here on the Canteen! :)
beautiful beaufort by the sea 26 miles from yemassee.
I retired from Naval Hospital Beaufort (just around the corner from PI) in 1982.
Thanks, unique, for the perfect woohoo.
I had quite a bit of "counseling" while I was there. :)
USMC Receiving Barracks, Yemassee, SC
In 1915, the Marine Corps developed a recruit-receiving station in Yemassee, in coordination with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. A receiving facility was leased for incoming recruits to stay the night before being shipped to Parris Island. When the Receiving Station was closed in 1965, more than half a million recruits had passed through the railroad junction on their way to Parris Island.
Back in the day recruits travelled by train to Yemassee on their way to boot camp at Parris Island?
I went through there in 1960.
How many other Freepers went through Yemassee and the USMC Receivng Station on their way to P.I.??
And we thank you for your service to our country.
Watching my oldest son graduate from Parris Island in '96....
Was quite the family event....
Semper Fi...
Thanks Kathy. I seriously considered making Beaufort my retirement home but the Sand Fleas drove me away. I felt so sorry for the recruits there having to endure those sand fleas but i guess that helped to toughen them.
Thanks for posting that. That's where my kid is going!
YIKES! I have limited experience with sand fleas, but they are high on my list to avoid.
Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...any cleaning to do before the girls come home?
I can still hear the brakes being applied to the wheels of that ACL passenger car as it was approaching Yamassee station. It was 3 AM and dark outside. It was going to get a lot darker soon!
(20 July, 1956)
Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...rain most of today, and threatening now.
Sun for you? Any good news?
"Few of our leaders today would be fit to polish his boots."
When I was in the Marines there were many senior NCO's just like your father still in, or getting ready to retire. From personal observation I'd say your comment is 100% spot on.
Good evening/morning, Mayor...thank you for today's sustenance for body and soul. ((HUGS))
Good morning, ML...((HUGS))...busy day, but went well. Hope your Monday went well, too.
Happy Tuesday!!
He got out after the war, did college on the GI bill and then was offered a commission and went back in.
I'll tell you this about my old man. He was a captain at Quantico when my younger brother was born, we kids played with the kids of a black NCO, this was in the late 50's. In those days, I don't think that was common. That's the kind of man my father was.
Of course he drove me *nuts* in HS after he retired. My bedroom had to pass inspection before I was allowed to take the car out. He may have retired an officer, but there was still a DI buried in there. We clashed a lot in those days, as one might expect. /grin
We thank him for his service to our country.
That "counseling" stuff is intense!
For the last hour, it has sounded like the angels above had challenged the heroes to a 10 Pin contest (Bowling).
I'm jealous.....I love listening to thunder. It is very rare here.
Lightning, too?
I was there back in the mid 70's
Had a terrible time,
got yelled at,
half beaten,
forced to do things that genteel folks should not do...
unmentionable things
Looked at sternly by scary, mean men.
I still have recollections that are disturbing.
Semper Fi!
We thank you for your service to our country.

The Clarins Instant Concealer really had it's moment towards the end of last year and I'm not surprised that it attracted so much attention. It's a very different kind of concealer to the usual 'concealer in a tube with a doe-foot applicator' that I'm used to. It comes in a small tube and you squeeze the liquid-y product out to apply as you wish. It's a very wet formula but it's also very pigmented so a little goes a long way. I think a lot of people use this as a concealer/foundation hybrid as it's so easy to use on larger areas, either dabbing it with your finger or blending with a brush. It's has decent enough coverage to use on the face and gives enough glow and light to use under the eyes. I do find, though, that I have to go in with a second layer to cover my dark circles and quite a bit of powder is needed to set it in place.
It didn't even occur to me when picking up the L'Oreal Visible Lift Blur Concealer in America that it would fall into the same category, despite it's similar packaging. Like the Clarins one it squeezes out (in a slightly less user friendly tube) a liquid concealer that's high in pigment and easy to blend. I'd say the L'Oreal one is slightly more satin textured, less 'wet' than the Clarins and it also has a strong pink undertone to it, making it more of a corrector. I have the shade 01 in the Clarins and 301 Fair/Pale in the L'Oreal and they are quite different in tone and the pink works well on dark circles. Unfortunately the L'Oreal concealer isn't available in the UK yet but is rumoured to be coming over later in the year. For us UK girls we need to stick to the Clarins version but if the L'Oreal concealer is available to you and you like colour correcting under your eyes, then give it a go!
Oh I do love a good dupe!

When it comes to gym rats, those basketball players willing to perform in front of empty bleachers in the pursuit of improvement, let's just say Sam Alford knows a thing or five.
Twenty seasons as boys basketball coach at New Castle High School allowed Alford to marvel at the work put in by, among others, 1983 Indiana Mr. Basketball Steve Alford and 1986 All-Star Rodney Haynes.
A decade later, Brandon Miller carried on the tradition.
Miller was a scrappy backup freshman point guard on Alford's final team. Those 1994-95 Trojans advanced to the championship game of the Hinkle Semistate before losing to Ben Davis, 65-60, to finish the season 24-3.
In Miller's four varsity seasons (1994-98), New Castle produced a record of 84-16 with three consecutive semistate appearances during Miller's freshman, sophomore and junior seasons.
Alford is understandably proud of Miller, who has gone on to become the new men's basketball coach at Butler University. The two have known one another since Miller was an infant.
"Butler is getting a very dedicated man, a dedicated family man and a dedicated basketball coach," said Alford, a Franklin College graduate who lives near Franklin with his wife, Sharan. "Brandon will succeed. I don't have any questions about that."
Just as recent Bulldogs mentors Barry Collier, Thad Matta, Todd Lickliter and Brad Stevens applied their own stamp to Butler basketball, so, too, will Miller.
"Brandon will be his own man, and that's what a coach has to do," said Alford, whose 29-year run as coach at the prep level (1966-95) netted 452 victories and a place in the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. "He has to instill his own philosophy and style."
Miller's father, Roger, was an assistant coach every season during Alford's two decades in New Castle, the first being three years before Brandon was born. Thus, the coach was able to observe the coach-in-making long before the rest of us.
"Brandon was a gym rat. He loved basketball, and he loved being in the gym," Alford recalled. "He was always the first one to get in the gym and the last one to leave, sometimes to the point where we had to tell him to leave. He's very competitive and did not like to lose."

Son of Run brings his first single from his Atlantic Records debut. Not quite as raw as his mixtape joints.

Not near as good as anything from his mixtapes! This was an over produced steaming shat sack! Sucks too many cooks spoil the soup as they say and that has happened with this for sure!
This is beyond bad…

@Dave Cutter I'm not sure if your trolling or simply dense. But in NYC subway ridership is up. More and more people are moving into cities and not just NYC. For many of us cities provide excellent bang for the buck. NYC is still the financial capital of America if not the world. We film many TV shows and movies. And are one of the fashion powerhouses of the world. We contribute greatly to the U.S. and world economies. Probably much more then where ever it is you live. Might I suggest you spew your nonsense in the politics forum?
Back on topic. Besides what I already said about Citibike they have one more issue to address and that is bike redistribution. I've noticed that bikes tend to hard to going into manhattan in the morning and all end up scattered around Brooklyn in the evening. Some docks such as the one at Grand Central never seem to enough bikes. Apparently this was a problem for D.C. but they have greatly improved.

Keyes v. Grant
Argued April 2, 1886
Decided April 19, 1886
When the defendant in a suit for the infringement of a patent sets up a prior publication of a machine anticipating the patented invention, and it appears that there are obvious differences between the two machines in the arrangement of the separate parts, in the relation of the parts to each other, and in their connection with each other in performing the functions for which the machine is intended, and experts differ upon the questions whether these differences are material to the result, and whether they required the faculty of invention, those questions are questions of fact to be left to the determination of the jury, under proper instructions from the court.
This was a suit at law to recover damages for the infringement of letters patent. The case is stated in the opinion of the Court.

We were told that this park was next to an amusement park and the noise was awful; however, we were informed of that when we called for a reservation. The space we were assigned was weeds not grass. The spaces are not marked per say and people just pulled their trailers/motor homes in the assigned space with no thought of squaring them up. The spaces were very tight. There were a lot of tent dwellers using the showers/bathrooms; therefore, they were very messy. I would not stay here again. - Marilynintexas

This is probably a really convienent RV park to stay in for families who are visiting the next-door amusement park, that is, if they can find out how to get in. The entrance was not marked for southbound travelers, so it was very difficult to know where to pull in. The office sign was covered by a very lovely tree, so campers had to search to see where to check in. The park streets were not marked well, so it was easy to find yourself driving down the wrong way. The pull-in sites were along side the fence to the amusement park, where several animals were on display, which made for a pungent odor and lots of flies around our RV (I'm surprised that some animal rights group isn't in an uproar over the conditions/enclosures that those poor animals were kept in!). But since my Mama always told me to say something nice....the park trees were beautiful, the laundry room was air conditioned, and the helpful lady in the Subway made a great sandwich (but none of those things would ever make me return). - cwh

Delightful RV park with lots of shady pull through spots. Stayed 2 nights. Was much nicer than I was expecting being next to amusement park. Once the park closed at 10, the RV park was peaceful. - MrsWeller

The Good, the Bad, and the Aesthetic: Ballerinas and Celebrity during the Regency
Alter, Megan Early, Studies in the Humanities
During its heyday from the 1820s well into the 1840s, the Romantic ballet featured some of the most famous ballerinas the dance world has ever produced. Marie Taglioni, Fanny Cerrito, Carlotta Grisi, and Fanny Elssler were among the first dancers to be renowned internationally, and they remain heralded in the annals of ballet today for their early virtuosity and expressive capacities. However, during much of the nineteenth century, ballerinas in general were subject to derision because of their perceived immorality and indecorousness. Quite simply, they represented an art form that was designated by denizens of the nineteenth century as immodest female public display catering only to lascivious male admirers. Indeed, even during the pinnacle of Romantic ballet's popularity during the late Regency period and the early Victorian era, professional dancers were considered by most to be little more than courtesans to monied or titled patrons. Such an attitude became the master narrative for these cultural icons as the century matured.
In part, this characterization by Victorians was due to ever-present stories of backstage--so-called Green Room--assignations held over from the days of the Regency period, where dancers and their suitors would carry on their affairs with the blessing of the theater managers. Published as gossip in society magazines like Age, The Satirist, and the Town, dancers' love lives were as notorious as our own tabloid tarts. On the one hand, the salacious, often infamous reputations of dancers' sexual and actual avarice provided ready entree into aristocratic society for those dancers seeking patronage. On the other hand, this same reputation attached itself to practically all ballerinas at some point in their careers, and accordingly, became associated with the art form itself. Indeed, that these artists showed off their legs, bare arms, and shoulders as part of their trade "confirmed" ballerinas' immodest natures and willingness to be ersatz courtesans. In sum, theatrical dance was an immoral and indecent entertainment, as one writer to the editor of the Theatrical Times proclaimed sternly: "[Ballet] panders to depraved taste and to idle sensuality, without raising the mind, as the pure intellectual drama, or soothing the heart like beautiful music.... [I]t is monstrous that dancers should be paid so enormously for distorting their limbs and exposing their person, in such a manner, to the necessary degradation of themselves, and of those who are their patrons...". (1)
Not surprisingly, these kinds of judgments colored the overall reception of even the internationally renowned ballerinas like Elssler and Taglioni. (2) At the same time they were heralded as elite artistes, they also warranted off-color ribbing because of their medium and purported lifestyles. In 1840 the popular Illustrated London News waxed enthusiastically
We perfectly recollect admiring the emotion of several ancient aristocrats in the stalls on the recent appearance of the legs of Fanny Elssler. We thought that we observed an aged and respectable virtuoso shedding tears; another fainted ...; one appeared to go mad, and bit his neighbor's pit-tail [sic] in half in sheer ecstasy. Oh! The legs of Fanny displayed a vast deal of propriety, and frightened sober men from their prescribed complacency. (3)
While intentionally hyperbolic, the News offered an example of the dynamic between dancer and audience that the Theatrical Times' letter-writer later referenced. Fanny's main attraction was her sexual attractiveness and practically incited a collective sexual frenzy with little interest in the dancer's artistry, this reaction despite the world-renowned acclaim she enjoyed.
What the gossip and the only barely tongue-in-cheek commentary above ignored, however, and is the focus of this examination, was that audiences of ballet and opera in the Regency and early days of the Victorian period also saw--and applauded--female agency in the form of artistic mastery. …

Home credit will remain at the core of our business. We aim to grow and generate enhanced profit through increasing our geographic reach, expanding our existing customer base, introducing new products and channels and giving good-quality customers the opportunity to borrow more. We are also focussed on achieving greater operational efficiencies through expansion and reducing costs.
Our home credit model is cash and capital generative and we maintain a strong balance sheet. We are well-funded and the refinancing of our core Eurobond and bank funding in 2014 formed part of our strategy of attracting longer-term funding from diversified sources at lower cost. Successful delivery of our Strategy for Growth will generate sustainable profitable performance which will, in turn, increase further value and returns for our shareholders and enable us to reinvest in the business. It will also create value in the markets in which we operate through employment, tax and community support initiatives.
We offer unsecured, short-term cash loans to people who want to borrow small sums and repay weekly in manageable and affordable amounts. Customers can repay by money transfer to a bank account or through our optional home service delivered by our network of 30,000 agents. In Mexico, the business model includes the home service for all customers.
The total amount payable comprises the loan amount and the charge for credit and other services, which is generally fixed at the outset of the loan. Customers like the convenience of arranging loans and making repayments in their own home and value the fact that there are no extra charges for missed or late repayments with the home service option. The discipline of the weekly agent visit also helps customers repay regularly and reduce the risk of falling behind on their repayments.
A typical customer is underserved by mainstream lenders and may be taking a loan from a financial organisation for the first time. If they have taken credit before they may have used store credit or borrowed from friends and family. They have average to slightly below average incomes, are looking to borrow money for a specific purpose and do not want to borrow more than they need.
Responsible lending is at the core of our business model.
Agents are rewarded largely on the amount of money they collect rather than what they lend, so it is not in their interest to lend more than their customers can afford to repay.
Credit risk is based around the relationship between customers and their agents, supported by bespoke application and behavioural scoring systems.
We are also introducing the use of credit bureaux to improve our lending decisions.
We only lend to customers who can prove they have a regular, secure income and can afford their repayments. Our 'low and grow' approach to lending ensures new customers start with a small loan. Only when they have demonstrated their ability and willingness to repay will we offer a larger amount, if they require it.
Understanding our customers and the strong personal relationships between our customers, agents and Development Managers is at the core of the business model. Agents are responsible for developing and maintaining good relationships with their customers and growing their agency. The weekly, face-to-face contact with customers distinguishes us from most other financial service providers and this is key to customer retention and growth. It helps us understand our customers' circumstances and allows agents to assess new loan opportunities for good quality, profitable customers.
Our Development Managers meet regularly with their agents to provide support and guidance on growing their agency.

We have a right to carry, but politics converted it to a privilige. [Steps on high horse] I don't use the term "right to carry state". [Steps off high horse]
These are my terms that I prefer to describe:
Free states (Alaska, Vermont)
Shall Issue states
Commie states (Commiefornia, MA, IA, NY, other 'discretionary' states)
I think it is either GA or AL that is techinically a discretionary state, but is realistically shall issue in practice. That is a "Confusing State".

max profit Trade routes
Title said it all post any High profit trade routes youve found for all to share, while there is some element of luck and chance in the game im pretty sure some routes will always give the best profit so lets find them and get :drunk on cheap rum!
Im currently at 4 mill in coins just by having a few profit only routes with high end items.
thinking i need to make a few dedicated trade routes to just carry 2-3 items only still trying to work out the trade route planning bit to get them working smoothly
did you manage to work out some sort of trade route zombie? im looking to build up coin fast and cant seem to identify a decent route. Maybe im being lazy and should use my warehouses and stewards more apporiately
The best thing I found early on was just to set a convoy to 'profit' and to have them hit as many ports as the game will allow in one pass. I think its around 20 ports. Then, as soon as you have 3 or more cities doing well have one convoy set to "sell and supply" and one set to "procure raw materials" and have them go in between the cities that you've built up. This will help keep your warehouses stock while also boosting the prosperity of all your towns. With 6 built up cities and multiple convoys doing just that I currently have over 17 million in cash. The thing I found with this game is not to hold onto money. As soon as you have some cash invest it in more boats, more businesses, etc and soon enough you'll have more money than you know what to do with.
To stay a little more on topic I'm not entirely sure that there is one golden trade route because the prices fluctuate a bit due to supply and demand. Like I said, just make "profit" routes out of as many stops as possible that way your convoy carries a selection of goods to srvice all the stops. And, it should go without saying, the more boats in a convoy the better. That way the convoy can stock up on as much as possible.

I love the "way to take care of your bike...."
just wonderful commentary from the old codger
That is badass. The section where they are crossing the river and chucking their bike as far as they can made me laugh out loud. I would love to see someone do that with a modern bike then drag it out of the river and ride away.
the best commentary for me was, as someone mentioned in the road forum where I saw this, was teh old feller saying of that river crossing, "this wasnt the real place for the river crossing, someone had moved the flags over.....namely me, as I wasnt racing that weekend"--hilarious, he buggered it all up for them as a smartass prank, priceless, just priceless.
as he said, a good part of this race was running. As you say 4 rings, serious hardass course. Top guys would have been in bloody good shape.
is the guy at 0:28 riding fixed gear? i dont think i saw a rear brake...
great video but I think it might be newer than the '50
Bianchis '87 Sport SX, '90 Proto, '90 Campione del Fausto Giamondi Specialisma Italiano Mundo, '91 Boarala 'cross, '93 Project 3, '86 Volpe, '97 Ti Megatube, , '90 something Vento 603,
Others but still loved,; '80 RIGI, '80 Batavus Professional, '87 Cornelo, '09 Motobecane SOLD, '?? Jane Doe (still on the drawing board), '90ish Haro Escape
Based on the bikes, I would have guessed it was newer, but I think, in the interviews, they reference dates in the late 50s.
Personally, this is how I wish 'cross was today. Modern courses are pretty tame.
Do what makes you happy.


text: I am running Windows XP and there was an old DOS program that was working fine in it. This program normally uses LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3 ports so that it can print tickers and many things. But recently I have purchased a new computer that came with Vista preinstalled and we started having issues. After configuring the printers and using the NET USE LPT2: \\computer\printer/PERSISTENT:yes, since I use printserver for the standalone printers, it is able to print on all the ports without any issues. The printer is working properly and I have done a lot of tes but if the computer stays on standby for sometime then when I am trying to send a print job to the LPT2 or LPT3, the ports seems to have disconnected. But when I used NET USE to send some data to the port then the first time a message appears that the port is not ready but again when I use it second time then it will print just fine. There might be some new configuration in Vista, because previously it was working fine under XP? Can anyone tell me the difference? Thanks

Craig Ingram says inquiry terms not good enough
Broadcast: 14/3/2003
Reporter: Kathy Bowlen
KATHY BOWLEN, PRESENTER: Craig Ingram, what's your reaction to the announcement of the inquiry?
CRAIG INGRAM: Well, we'll have to see the terms of reference and we've really got to make sure that it is totally independent of Government and really has the power to basically stare down the bureaucrats who are making the decisions and really ask them the tough questions under oath because that's the essential thing. So we've really got to see the terms of reference, what the powers are and more importantly we've got to get the responsibility to where it really lies and I think most of the anger is really about the historical management of the forests, where the fuel reduction - but why have we only met, for example, 50% of the targets over the last decade? And it's not because we've had extremely dry years. For 10 years we haven't met 50% of the targets and the worst performance is in the zone one areas. And those questions need to be asked and you're already starting to see the bureaucrats ducking for cover on this and trying to defence themselves. That's because, I think, Governments are afraid of litigation. So we've really got to make sure the questions are answered and they're answered in a way that the community is satisfied with that response.
KATHY BOWLEN: The Opposition is saying it's a whitewash - that it's a public servant investigating the public servants. Is Bruce Esplin, the Emergency Services Commissioner, the right man for the job?
CRAIG INGRAM: I don't think someone within the Government is suitable to do this task. I think it really - if it was going to be independent it needs to be totally independent and that needed to be someone... I think a retired judge or a judge, maybe, that was the best way to go about it. If it wasn't going to be removed from Government or Parliament it should have been a Parliamentary inquiry. Yes, I think he's probably the right person to look at maybe the emergency responses but we're not talking about that here. We're talking about a broader issue and what caused it and how we're going to fix it and there's been a large number of inquiries before. Most of them have come up with certain recommendations and they've never been kept.
KATHY BOWLEN: The Commissioner says he'll be taking public submissions but he hasn't yet decided whether he'll hold public meetings for the people who want to make submissions to his inquiry. Should he be meeting with them?
CRAIG INGRAM: The Commissioner has to come to places like Walagamba and Black Mountain and have a look and he needs to do it fairly soon but I also think if that's the way the Government wants to go then they still need to get as many of their MPs and decision makers up to those areas as possible because until you get not only the current Minister but also any future Ministers from both sides of politics up to these areas talking to the people then I don't think you're really going to get to the bottom of it because like I said the bureaucracy is already starting to defend their position.
KATHY BOWLEN: The Premier said at the press conference that the fuel reduction that was done prior to the fires was as much as conditions allowed. So in announcing the inquiry he's already saying that the fuel reduction was adequate?
CRAIG INGRAM: I think the submissions from places like East Gippsland and more than likely the north-east, will be very clear that the fire management has caused the intensity of these fires to be worse than they should have been and there's some really clear examples. You go up to say Black Mountain, where there are recent fuel reduction burns that have been right in the firing line of the major intensity of the fires and we've still got green leaves on trees, yet all around it's a holocaust where there's hardly a leaf on a tree and not a living thing for 20 K.
KATHY BOWLEN: We don't know what the terms of reference are, nor do we know who the two independent experts are going to be. Is that good enough?
CRAIG INGRAM: No, I don't think it is. I think they should have really come out with the terms of reference. I rang up the Premier's office today asking for copies of the terms of reference and we haven't seen them and I think surely we know by now what needs investigating and I think they really are up to the people who have been impacted most by this to come out with the terms of reference, show them what we are going to be talking about. Because in the end the inquiry's only as good as terms of reference. It's only as good as the powers that are given and the submissions that they get.
KATHY BOWLEN: What sort of recovery effort is the community there facing?
CRAIG INGRAM: They're looking at an enormous recovery task and they're looking at replacing 3,000km of fences. There is serious financial hardship on those people. I don't think governments or the bureaucracies still understand the seriousness of it and the full impact that this is going to have on maybe a small number of farmers but on the viability of their business. They had good, strong, viable businesses beforehand. You've got to look at individual farmers who are going to be up for hundreds of thousands of dollars in fences and probably hundreds of thousands of dollars as well just to keep stock alive on top of obviously the end of a pretty tough period. Those farmers are going to be put to the wall for something that really they had no control over. Worse than that, they were actually having that threat imposed on them by - in my view - poor management of natural resources by a series of governments.
KATHY BOWLEN: Craig Ingram, thanks for your time.
CRAIG INGRAM: It's a pleasure.

Article: ChemInform Abstract: Divergent and Regioselective Synthesis of 1,2,4- and 1,2,5-Trisubstituted Imidazoles[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A divergent and regioselective synthesis of 1,2,4- and 1,2,5-trisubstituted imidazoles from a readily available (two steps) common intermediate has been developed. This methodology is based on the regiocontrolled N-alkylation of 1-(N,N-dimethylsulfamoyl)-5-iodo-2-phenylthio-1H-imidazole (10). When this intermediate is engaged in reaction with methyl triflate, selective formation of the corresponding 1,2,5-trisubsituted 1H-imidazole is observed. NMR studies have revealed that this regioselectivity can be accounted for by in situ rapid isomerization of 10 into its 1,2,4-isomer (13) followed by regiospecific N-alkylation of the latter. Conversely, when key intermediate 10 is slowly added to Meerwein's salt, isomerization can be constrained and regiospecific N-alkylation of 10 leads to 1,2,4-trisubstituted 1H-imidazole with a high selectivity. The general character of this methodology has been illustrated by showing that iodine in position 4 or 5 could be easily substituted by an aryl group by Suzuki coupling, whereas the phenylthio group at position 2 could, after oxidation into sulfone, be displaced by nucleophilic substitution.
Article: UNBS5162, a Novel Naphthalimide That Decreases CXCL Chemokine Expression in Experimental Prostate Cancers 1[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Several naphthalimides have been evaluated clinically as potential anticancer agents. UNBS3157, a naphthalimide that belongs to the same class as amonafide, was designed to avoid the specific activating metabolism that induces amonafide's hematotoxicity. The current study shows that UNBS3157 rapidly and irreversibly hydrolyzes to UNBS5162 without generating amonafide. In vivo UNBS5162 after repeat administration significantly increased survival in orthotopic human prostate cancer models. Results obtained by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) using UNBS3157 and UNBS5162 against the NCI 60 cell line panel did not show a correlation with any other compound present in the NCI database, including amonafide, thereby suggesting a unique mechanism of action for these two novel naphthalimides. Affymetrix genome-wide microarray analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that in vitro exposure of PC-3 cells to UNBS5162 (1 microM for 5 successive days) dramatically decreased the expression of the proangiogenic CXCL chemokines. Histopathology additionally revealed antiangiogenic properties in vivo for UNBS5162 in the orthotopic PC-3 model. In conclusion, the present study reveals UNBS5162 to be a pan-antagonist of CXCL chemokine expression, with the compound displaying antitumor effects in experimental models of human refractory prostate cancer when administered alone and found to enhance the activity of taxol when coadministered with the taxoid.
Article: Amaryllidaceae Isocarbostyril Alkaloids and Their Derivatives as Promising Antitumor Agents[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This review covers the isolation, total synthesis, biologic activity, and more particularly the in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities of naturally occurring isocarbostyril alkaloids from the Amaryllidaceae family. Starting from these natural products, new derivatives have been synthesized to explore structure-activity relationships within the chemical class and to obtain potential candidates for preclinical development. This approach appears to be capable of providing novel promising anticancer agents.

Article: 2,2,2-Trichloro-N-({2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H- benzo[de]isoquinolin-5-yl}carbamoyl)acetamide (UNBS3157), a novel non-hematotoxic naphthalimide derivative with potent anti-tumor activity
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The sodium pump, Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, could be an important target for the development of anti-cancer drugs as it serves as a versatile signal transducer, it is a key player in cell adhesion and its aberrant expression and activity are implicated in the development and progression of different cancers. Cardiotonic steroids, known ligands of the sodium pump have been widely used for the treatment of heart failure. However, early epidemiological evaluations and subsequent demonstration of anti-cancer activity in vitro and in vivo have indicated the possibility of developing this class of compound as chemotherapeutic agents in oncology. Their development to date as anti-cancer agents has however been impaired by a narrow therapeutic margin resulting from their potential to induce cardiovascular side-effects. The review will thus discuss (i) sodium pump structure, function, expression in diverse cancers and its chemical targeting and that of its sub-units, (ii) reported in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer activity of cardiotonic steroids, (iii) managing the toxicity of these compounds and the limitations of existing preclinical models to adequately predict the cardiotoxic potential of new molecules in man and (iv) the potential of chemical modification to reduce the cardiovascular side-effects and improve the anti-cancer activity of new molecules.
Article: The Amaryllidaceae Isocarbostyril Narciclasine Induces Apoptosis By Activation of the Death Receptor and/or Mitochondrial Pathways in Cancer Cells But Not in Normal Fibroblasts 1[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Our study has shown that the Amaryllidaceae isocarbostyril narciclasine induces marked apoptosis-mediated cytotoxic effects in human cancer cells but not in normal fibroblasts by triggering the activation of the initiator caspases of the death receptor pathway (caspase-8 and caspase-10) at least in human MCF-7 breast and PC-3 prostate carcinoma cells. The formation of the Fas and death receptor 4 (DR4) death-inducing signaling complex was clearly evidenced in MCF-7 and PC-3 cancer cells. Caspase-8 was found to interact with Fas and DR4 receptors on narciclasine treatment. However, narciclasine-induced downstream apoptotic pathways in MCF-7 cells diverged from those in PC-3 cells, where caspase-8 directly activated effector caspases such as caspase-3 in the absence of any further release of mitochondrial proapoptotic effectors. In contrast, in MCF-7 cells, the apoptotic process was found to require an amplification step that is mitochondria-dependent, with Bid processing, release of cytochrome c, and caspase-9 activation. It is postulated that the high selectivity of narciclasine to cancer cells might be linked, at least in part, to this activation of the death receptor pathway. Normal human fibroblasts appear approximately 250-fold less sensitive to narciclasine, which does not induce apoptosis in these cells probably due to the absence of death receptor pathway activation.
Article: 2,2,2-Trichloro- N -({2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1 H -benzo[de]isoquinolin- 5-yl}carbamoyl)acetamide (UNBS3157), a Novel Nonhematotoxic Naphthalimide Derivative with Potent Antitumor Activity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Amonafide (1), a naphthalimide which binds to DNA by intercalation and poisons topoisomerase IIalpha, has demonstrated activity in phase II breast cancer trials, but has failed thus far to enter clinical phase III because of dose-limiting bone marrow toxicity. Compound 17 (one of 41 new compounds synthesized) is a novel anticancer naphthalimide with a distinct mechanism of action, notably inducing autophagy and senescence in cancer cells. Compound 17 (2,2,2-trichloro-N-({2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-5-yl}carbamoyl)acetamide (UNBS3157)) was found to have a 3-4-fold higher maximum tolerated dose compared to amonafide and not to provoke hematotoxicity in mice at doses that display significant antitumor effects. Furthermore, 17 has shown itself to be superior to amonafide in vivo in models of (i) L1210 murine leukemia, (ii) MXT-HI murine mammary adenocarcinoma, and (iii) orthotopic models of human A549 NSCLC and BxPC3 pancreatic cancer. Compound 17, therefore, merits further investigation as a potential anticancer agent.
Article: Mijatovic, T. et al. The alpha1 subunit of the sodium pump could represent a novel target to combat non-small cell lung cancers. J. Pathol. 212, 170-179[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: With an overall 5 year survival rate as low as 15% for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), even with surgical intervention and the use of newer molecules in adjuvant chemotherapy, there is an urgent need for new biological targets and associated novel anti-cancer agents. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the potential of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha1 subunit as a novel target in NSCLC and revealed that alpha1 expression is markedly higher in a significant proportion of NSCLC clinical samples compared to normal lung tissue. Furthermore, reduction in alpha1 expression in A549 NSCLC cells by anti-alpha1 siRNA resulted in markedly impaired proliferation and migration of these cancer cells. Finally, of three cardenolides investigated, UNBS1450, which is known to bind to Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase and displays potent anti-tumour activity in vivo in experimental models of human NSCLCs, is the most potent inhibitor of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase isozymes (alpha1beta1, alpha2beta1 and alpha3beta1), most strikingly of alpha1beta1. This was reflected in the compound's more potent anti-proliferative activity in all NSCLC cell lines evaluated (A549, Cal-12T, NCI-H727 and A427); the first three of which over-express alpha1. The marked impairment in A549 NSCLC cell proliferation and migration, and resulting similar morphology following anti-alpha1 siRNA or UNBS1450 treatment, was associated with features of abnormal cytokinesis, mediated in the case of UNBS1450 by disorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Collectively these data strongly suggest that targeting the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha1 using specific cardenolides could represent a novel means to combat certain NSCLCs.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Several reports suggest the sodium pump as an interesting oncology target, given that its subunit expression is markedly altered in cancer. By binding to the sodium pump, cardiotonic steroids, notably cardenolides, the natural high-affinity Na+/K+-ATPase ligands, elicit marked effects on cancer cell behavior and a number of studies have emphasized their potential use in oncology. Chemical modifications of 2″-oxovoruscharin (a novel cardenolide extracted from Calotropis procera) based on an understanding of the structure–activity relationship within the series, has led to the identification of UNBS1450, a molecule characterized by more potent anti-proliferative activity and lower toxicity than classic cardenolides. In aggressive and metastatic orthotopic NSCLC, refractory prostate cancer, and glioma models, UNBS1450 is more potent than tested reference compounds, including taxol, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, mitoxantrone, and temozolomide. The general mechanism of action associated with UNBS1450-mediated anti-cancer effects relates to the disorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. UNBS1450 can thus be considered both anti-proliferative (cytotoxic) and anti-migratory, given that the actin cytoskeleton is essential to cytokinesis and to cancer cell migration. UNBS1450 also induces non-apoptotic cell death processes (e.g., lysosome membrane permeabilization and autophagy) and thus may overcome major apoptosis resistance pathways responsible for the failure of therapeutics in certain cancers. UNBS1450 is currently in preclinical development and should reach Phase I clinical trials in 2008. Drug Dev Res 68:164–173, 2007. ©2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Conference Paper: The binding of the UNBS1450 cardenolide to the sodium pump in human glioblastoma (GBM) cells dramatically impairs both their migration and proliferation properties
Article: Cardenolide-Induced Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization Demonstrates Therapeutic Benefits in Experimental Human Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are the leading cause of cancer deaths in most developed countries. Targeting heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) expression and function, together with the induction of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), could overcome the multiple anti-cell death mechanisms evidenced in NSCLCs that are responsible for the failure of currently used chemotherapeutic drugs. Because cardenolides bind to the sodium pump, they affect multiple signaling pathways and thus have a number of marked effects on tumor cell behavior. The aim of the present study was to characterize in vitro and in vivo the antitumor effects of a new cardenolide (UNBS1450) on experimental human NSCLCs. UNBS1450 is a potent source of in vivo antitumor activity in the case of paclitaxel-and oxaliplatin-resistant subcutaneous human NCI-H727 and orthotopic A549 xenografts in nude mice. In vitro UNBS1450-mediated antitumor activity results from the induction of nonapoptotic cell death. UNBS1450 mediates the decrease of Hsp70 at both mRNA and protein levels, and this is at least partly due to UNBS1450-induced downregulation of NFAT5/TonEBP (a factor responsible for the transcriptional control of Hsp70). These effects were paralleled by the induction of LMP, as evidenced by acridine orange staining and immunofluorescence analysis for cathepsin B accumulation.
Article: A Lactosylated Steroid Contributes in Vivo Therapeutic Benefits in Experimental Models of Mouse Lymphoma and Human Glioblastoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Various mono- and disaccharides were grafted onto a steroid backbone. Whereas in vitro these glycosylated steroids had no cytotoxic effects on six different human cancer cell lines, several of the glycosylated steroids under study did significantly modify the levels of in vitro migration of the human U373 glioblastoma, the A549 non-small-cell-lung cancer (NSCLC), and the PC-3 prostate cancer cells, with more pronounced effects in the case of a monosubstituted beta-L-fucopyranosyl-steroid (19), a monosubstituted beta-D-isomaltosyl-steroid (22), and a monosubstituted beta-D-lactosyl-steroid (24). These three compounds significantly increased the survival of conventional mice grafted subcutaneously with the P388 lymphoma, a lymphoma that metastasizes toward the liver. In vivo, the monosubstituted beta-D-lactosyl-steroid (24) also increased the antitumor effectiveness of cisplatin, a cytotoxic pro-apoptotic drug, in the case of the P388 lymphoma model. This compound also increased the survival of immunodeficient mice into whose brains human U373 glioblastoma cells had been orthotopically grafted.
Article: The cardenolide UNBS1450 is able to deactivate NF-κB-mediated cytoprotective effects in human non-small cell-lung cancer (NSCLC) cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are associated with very dismal prognoses, and adjuvant chemotherapy, including irinotecan, taxanes, platin, and Vinca alkaloid derivatives, offers patients only slight clinical benefits. Part of the chemoresistance of NSCLCs results from the constitutive or anticancer drug-induced activation of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling pathways. The present study shows that human A549 NSCLC cells display highly activated cytoprotective NF-kappaB signaling pathways. UNBS1450, which is a cardenolide belonging to the same class of chemicals as ouabain and digitoxin, affected the expression and activation status of different constituents of the NF-kappaB pathways in these A549 tumor cells. The modifications brought about by UNBS1450 led to a decrease in both the DNA-binding capacity of the p65 subunit and the NF-kappaB transcriptional activity. Using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-dephenyltetrazolium bromide colorimetric assay, we observed in vitro that UNBS1450 was as potent as taxol and SN38 (the active metabolite of irinotecan) in reducing the overall growth levels of the human A549 NSCLC cell line, and was more efficient than platin derivatives, including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin. The chronic in vivo i.p. and p.o. UNBS1450 treatments of human A549 orthotopic xenografts metastasizing to the brains and the livers of immunodeficient mice had a number of significant therapeutic effects on this very aggressive model.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Galectins form a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins defined by their affinity for beta-galactosides containing glycoconjugates. The carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) is responsible for the specificity of galectins for saccharides. This binding may result in modulated cell proliferation, cell death and cell migration, three processes that are intimately involved in cancer initiation and progression. Galectins can also display protein-protein types of interactions with their binding partners. Certain galectins directly involved in cancer progression seem to be promising targets for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to combat cancer. Indeed, migrating cancer cells resistant to apoptosis still constitute the principal target for the cytotoxic drugs used to treat cancer patients. Reducing the levels of migration in apoptosis-resistant cancer cells can restore certain levels of sensitivity to apoptosis (and so to pro-apoptotic drugs) in restricted-migration cancer cells. Anti-galectin agents can restrict the levels of migration of several types of cancer cell and should therefore be used in association with cytotoxic drugs to combat metastatic cancer. We provide experimental proof in support of this concept. While the present review focuses on various experimental strategies to impair cancer progression by targeting certain types of galectins, it pays particular attention to glioblastomas, which constitute the ultimate level of malignancy in primary brain tumors. Glioblastomas form the most common type of malignant brain tumor in children and adults, and no glioblastoma patient has been cured to date.
Article: Are syngeneic mouse tumor models still valuable experimental models in the field of anti-cancer drug discovery?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To establish the pharmacological profile of a molecule with anti-cancer potential, it seems essential to add an in vivo approach to the first pharmacological experiments carried out in vitro. The present study aims to characterize the degree of sensitivity of seven syngeneic models (two leukemias and five solid tumors) to eleven molecules which have proven to be clinically reliable. We also used some of these models to investigate whether the molecular effects on the extent of growth in a subcutaneously grafted experimental model correlate with the effects of the same drug on the survival of the animals so grafted. Our data show that all the molecules demonstrated significant anti-tumor activities in two mouse leukemia models (with some discrepancies between the two). Two lymphoma models displayed weaker chemosensitivity profiles than the two leukemia models from which they were developed. Two other models, namely the MXT-HS mammary carcinoma and the B16 melanoma, appeared to be rather chemoresistant. However, a direct relationship was evident between the drug-induced decrease in the tumor growth rate and the increase observed in the survival periods of the MXT tumor-bearing mice. This relationship was also observed in the L1210_LYM lymphoma, though to a lesser extent, and was completely absent from the B16 melanoma model. Finally, our data indicated that we had developed a pair of metastasizing, as opposed to non-metastasizing, lymphoma and mammary carcinoma models. In conclusion, the present study shows that syngeneic mouse tumor models can be used as valuable in vivo experimental models for the screening of potential anti-cancer agents.
Article: Combined cimetidine and temozolomide, compared with temozolomide alone: Significant increases in survival in nude mice bearing U373 human glioblastoma multiforme orthotopic xenografts[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Malignant gliomas consist of both heterogeneous proliferating and migrating cell subpopulations, with migrating glioma cells exhibiting less sensitivity to antiproliferative or proapoptotic drugs than proliferative cells. Therefore, the authors combined cimetidine, an antiinflammatory agent already proven to act against migrating epithelial cancer cells, with temozolomide to determine whether the combination induces antitumor activities in experimental orthotopic human gliomas compared with the effects of temozolomide alone. Cimetidine added to temozolomide compared with temozolomide alone induced survival benefits in nude mice with U373 human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells orthotopically xenografted in the brain. Computer-assisted phase-contrast microscopy analyses of 9L rat and U373 human GBM cells showed that cimetidine significantly decreased the migration levels of these tumor cells in vitro at concentrations at which tumor growth levels were not modified (as revealed on monotetrazolium colorimetric assay). Computer-assisted microscope analyses of neoglycoconjugate-based glycohistochemical staining profiles of 9L gliosarcomas grown in vivo revealed that cimetidine significantly decreased expression levels of endogenous receptors for fucose and, to a lesser extent, for N-acetyl-lactosamine moieties. Endogenous receptors of this specificity are known to play important roles in adhesion and migration processes of brain tumor cells. Cimetidine, acting as an antiadhesive and therefore an antimigratory agent for glioma cells, could be added in complement to the cytotoxic temozolomide compound to combat both migrating and proliferating cells in GBM.

This was the oddest "performance". First we waited outside as they had tables pushed up almost all the way to the door asking people to sign up for their mailing list and a raffle. The sound was not good- very difficult to understand what was being said. I'm sorry, but the comedians weren't that funny. It felt like that if they got a laugh they would continue the same joke over and over. Although we both won raffle items I found this to be weird. As another person commented, the appreciation of their sponsors with flowers was a nice gesture, but it did last way too long. This was better than just sitting at home and I did get the tickets on comp, but don't think I would attend Clean Comedy III if they decide to do this again. Goldstar is awesome and we will continue to look for other performances to attend. We especially like community theatre.

We are another Sunday closer to the 2015 NFL Draft and that means we have another batch of "sleeper" articles lined up for you today.
Wide out Adrian Coxson is a player whose talent and attributes warrant a late selection all on their own, but he also happens to be one of the most interesting stories in this class. In a selfish sort of way, I like that because it gives us something to write about between May and August.
On Draft Weekend, Coxson will be listed as a "Stony Brook" player in his player profiles on your TV screen. The truth is that Stony Brook was his third college program and, unlike many players with similar resumes, his movement around the college scene had nothing to do with getting in trouble.

The Impact of Economic Growth, Tax Policy and Economic Freedom on Income Inequality
Clark, J. R., Lawson, Robert A., Journal of Private Enterprise
Considerable disagreement exists about how economic growth, taxes, and other policies affect the distribution of income from both a theoretical and empirical perspective. This short paper attempts to shed some light on the empirical debate about the role of tax policy in determining economic growth and the distribution of income.
JEL Codes: O4, E6
Keywords: Taxation, Economic growth, Economic freedom, Income distribution
I. Introduction
Considerable disagreement exists about how taxes and other economic policies affect the distribution of income from both a theoretical and empirical perspective. The received wisdom with regard to the impact of taxes on the distribution of income is fairly settled. Inasmuch as the tax system is progressive, it should serve to equalize somewhat the distribution of income in a society. Certainly, this is one of the major arguments in favor of progressive taxation, at least for those who value a more equal income distribution.
But there is theoretical debate. One complication is that economic policy, including tax policy, may impact economic growth as well as the distribution of income and that, in turn, economic growth and income inequality may be related. Disentangling these various forces is no easy task. This paper attempts to shed some light on the empirical side of the debate about the role of tax and other economic policies in determining the distribution of income.
II. Economie Growth
Modern growth theory comprises at least three competing strands. The neoclassical theory of economic growth, based on the work of Robert Solow (1956), focuses in the inputs of physical and human capital into the production process, and on technological advances, as the determinants of economic performance. Alternative explanations for growth are based on geographical factors. Jeffrey Sachs (2001), for example, argues that locational factors such as a temperate climate and access to markets are the keys to growth.
The institutional approach characterized by Douglass North (1990) emphasizes the importance of market institutions as the foundation for economic prosperity. Obviously, any discussion of the importance of tax policy on economic growth falls within this institutional approach. It is important to note that these three explanations for growth are not logically inconsistent with each other, so all might play a role, and any empirical examination of economic growth must attempt to control for all of these factors.
III. The Distribution of Income
It is assumed that progressive taxation should lead toward more income equality and regressive taxation should lead to more income inequality. Indeed, the static data on the distribution of income in the United States, for example, indicate that the after-tax distribution of income is more equal than the pre-tax distribution of income. This is consistent with the view that the U.S. has a progressive tax code that acts to equalize the distribution of income.
Despite this, many have suggested that it is difficult, if not impossible, to redistribute income via the tax code (or otherwise) in the long run. In the long run, the egalitarian effect of progressive taxes may be muted by various market adjustments. Let's say we attempt to use tax policy to redistribute income from one group of people to another. Market adjustments will lead to reduced supply and hence higher rates of return in the most-taxed areas, and increased supply and hence lower rates of return in the least-taxed areas. The ultimate impact on the distribution of income is likely to be much more limited as a result (Gwartney and Long, 1985). This is just another example of Gordon Tullock's (1975) transitional gains trap.
Simon Kuznets (1955) suggested that economic growth may involve a trade-off with income equality, so this dimension needs to be considered as well. But if various strands of economic theory indicate that (1) economic policy affects economic growth, (2) economic policy affects income equality, and (3) and economic growth affects income equality, it all gets very complicated. …

Tiger Woods ex-wife Elin Nordegren is back in the media spotlight; very much against her will. Her current boyfriend, financier Jamie Dingman had an affair with Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel.

Especially since she found this out via the press; not from her man himself. From the Chicago Sun-Times: "I think she's worried she's stumbled on another 'Tiger,' " said a close Nordegren friend Monday.
