OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire's office says the transition has begun to consolidate five state agencies into three, a move expected to save $18 million in the current budget.
On Oct. 1, four agencies will cease to operate: the Department of General Administration, Department of Personnel, State Printer, and Department of Information Services. Their jobs will be taken over by the new Department of Enterprise Services or the new Consolidated Technology Services.
In addition the Office of Financial Management will lose and gain some functions but continue to oversee budget, planning and policies.

Soldotna High School would like to thank Gary McMillan, Denis LeBlanc and Zeb Carpenter for CH2MHILL's donation of an estimated replacement value of items close to $50,000. Receiving piping, plate steel, and grating on storage racks makes this supply of donated material manageable and organized. We greatly appreciate but had not anticipated the additional generosity of all the safety gear and supplies or the thousands of pounds of stick and tig welding rod.
My name is Briana VinZant, I graduated from Soldotna high in 2011, so my opinion about the SoHi name/color/mascot change decision may seem biased. However, I have two brothers and one sister who attended Skyview high school. There are several reasons why I do not agree with the proposal to change anything about SoHi.
In the Nov. 10 issue of the Clarion this story line appeared: Southeast Alaska Program to release 200K fish at City Creek. These 200K fish will be chinook salmon with a hopeful return of 2-3 percent. 4,000 to 6,000 adult king salmon at a cost of only 100K startup and 15K annual operational expense.
It is long overdue that I take the time to compliment and to thank the folks at the Borough Road Service Area for their works and their efforts with regard to the neighborhoods involved in the Karluk area flooding these past two months. My first encounter with this borough department was with Carey Ward when the Borough was fixing to tear up my driveway to put in culverts.
My career as a teacher who started SoHi in 1980 and Skyview in 1990 with 26 combined years at both schools compels me to respond to the needless discussion regarding changing school colors and mascots. Skyview High is closing, that is a certainty. Changing the colors and mascots at SoHi will do nothing to diminish the beautiful memories we made together at Skyview, but can serve to alienate the present students at SoHi, their alumni and community supporters by needlessly ruining the identity of another proud school. Why risk being ungracious guests?
We are writing this letter to voice our opinion concerning the proposed Soldotna High School name/color/mascot change.
My wife and I spent 19 years as very active parents in the Kenai Peninsula School District schools with our 3 children. During that time we faced many short comings due to budget cuts both scholastically and athletically. It is beyond us to even count the number of hours or money we donated to help different programs succeed and thrive.
I would like to say a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the community that we live in. When we got the news that our Gavin was gone, our whole world came crashing down. Then the scramble to find Indy who went missing from the accident. The support that came from all over was more than can ever be measured. The finacial giving has also amazed us. Gavin had many ideas of how to contribute to the community not only with his time but also with money. Those ideas and wants are still going to happen even though he isn't here anymore.
Alaska's system of political primaries insures that only the most radical candidates will advance to November's elections. Both major parties choose the candidates who are skilled at raising money and scaring and angering voters and who often don't have a clue about how to govern.
Due to our system's shortcomings, moderate candidates who can heal and lead are left in the dust following their primary losses.
There are a few of us who have seen the rise and fall of this great country. We were born in the Depression when there was no money for anyone. The Democrats were a party which was mainly responsible for the winning of the Second World War and I came from a strong Democrat family. But after my service in the Korean War, I became an Independent and have voted for all parties that had a person running who had similar thoughts to mine. Something happened when we became a country of illegal immigrants, who seem to be able to vote when I do not believe they should have.

Our Programs and Services
Our programs and services are developed to create and strengthen connections between members of the child neurology community. Our goal is that patients and their families, physicians, other healthcare providers, and advocacy and industry partners will work together to improve the lives of children with neurologic disorders so that each may reach her full potential.
Our programs focus on four key areas: advocacy, education, support, and research. Many programs address two or more of these areas. For many young patients and their caregivers, the Child Neurology Foundation means "There is help. There is hope."
These summaries provide a comprehensive overview of our current programs and services. If you are interested in supporting one of these programs, please visit our donation page. Or, if you are from a partnering organization and would like to collaborate, please contact Stacia Grace, Director of Operations, at 952.846.7942 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please check back for updates on current programs and learn about new initiatives.
Association of Child Neurology Nurses Parental Resource Book
We recognize the irreplaceable role of nursing professionals in the child neurology community and are partnering with the Association of Child Neurology Nurses (ACNN) in the development of a caregiver resource book. This resource will provide information to help caregivers prepare for a pediatric neurology clinic visit and learn more about on-going disease management. Content examples include seizure tracking, medication administration, and sample questions parents commonly ask a neurologist.
Brendan Michael Harnett Infantile Spasms Mini-Grant
The Harnett Mini-Grant was founded by Mr. Michael Harnett in January 2014 as a memorial to his nephew, Brendan Michael Harnett, who was diagnosed with infantile spasms and passed away before his first birthday. Each year during Infantile Spasms Awareness Week, one $1,000 mini-grant is awarded to a child with infantile spasms and his caregivers to cover the cost of medical devices, treatments, therapies, or other services not covered by insurance. Learn more about Brendan and the mini-grant application process. To donate in his honor, please visit our donation page and choose his fund from the dropdown menu.
Quarterly e-Newsletter
Each quarter, we publish an e-newsletter that focuses on one pediatric neurologic disorder or topic, providing an educational overview, information on current research studies, trusted resources, and support opportunities. Visit our archive page to read past editions of our newsletter.
Infantile Spasms Awareness and Education
We have partnered with the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance (TS Alliance) to lead a multi-year infantile spasms (IS) awareness and education initiative. 2015 efforts included the publication of an IS education infographic; educational videos in English & Spanish; an IS webinar with provider, caregiver, and advocate presenters; a continuing medical education opportunity for child neurologists at the annual meeting of the Child Neurology Society; the annual IS Heroes Award and Brendan Michael Harnett IS Mini-Grant; awareness booths at the Child Neurology Society and American Epilepsy Society annual meetings; and Infantile Spasms Awareness Week.
Infantile Spasms Awareness Week
A collaborative initiative sponsored by the Child Neurology Foundation and the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance, Infantile Spasms Awareness Week (ISAW) is held annually during the first week in December. The goal of ISAW is to increase awareness and understanding of infantile spasms through the distribution of objective educational materials to providers, caregivers, and the public; the announcement of new and useful research and support initiatives; the recognition of exemplary contributions to care; and the declaration to patients and caregivers that There is help! There is hope! Visit the ISAW 2015 page.
Infantile Spasms Heroes Award
As part of ISAW, the Child Neurology Foundation awards one heroic healthcare professional and his/her medical institution — nominated by a caregiver — with the Infantile Spasms Heroes Award. The IS Heroes Award was established in 2010 to recognize a deserving healthcare professional for making a positive difference in the life of a child with infantile spasms by embodying the heroic spirit of quality, compassionate, and efficacious care during diagnosis or treatment of IS.
Neuro Developmental Disorder (NDD) Scholar
While still in its development stage, this program will offer an annual summer scholarship of $3500 to a medical student for research of neurodevelopmental disorders in child neurology.
Professional Conferences
Each year, the Child Neurology Foundation attends specific conferences of professional societies and membership organizations to promote the mission and services of the Child Neurology Foundation, carry-out program initiatives, and meet with new and established partners. 2015 conferences include the annual meeting of the Child Neurology Society (CNS) where the Foundation will staff an educational and informational booth, host a seminar outlining our Transition of Care program and accompanying consensus statement on the role of the neurologist in transitioning pediatric patients to the adult healthcare system, host an educational symposium on infantile spasms with a continuing medical education (CME) opportunity, and hold annual Corporate Advisory Board and Board of Directors meetings. Foundation staff will also attend the American Epilepsy Society (AES) annual meeting where we will carry-out Infantile Spasms Awareness Week activities (outlined above).
Research Grants
Since 2001, Child Neurology Foundation has awarded over 3.3 million dollars to the research endeavors of 67 young investigators, aimed at identifying treatments and cures for pediatric neurologic diseases. Read more about each grant on its respective page.
- PERF Scientific Research Grant: A $100,000 grant of $50,000 per year for two years to support clinical or basic science research by a child neurologist.
- Shields Research Grant: A $100,000 grant of $50,000 per year for two years to support translational or clinical research by a child neurologist.
- Michael SanInocencio Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Grant: A one-year grant of $30,000 to support basic or clinical research of LGS by a child neurologist.
Transition of Care
The Child Neurology Foundation is leading a national, interdisciplinary expert panel to define the neurologist's role in transitioning youth with neurologic conditions into the adult healthcare system. The panel has authored a consensus paper, which addresses a significant chasm in clinical practice with less than 50% of US youth currently receiving transition services.
Additionally, a project advisory committee was formed to plan for implementation of the consensus statement's common principles under subcommittees that are examining clinical tools, caregiver education, and quality initiatives.
The Transitions of Care program is generously sponsored by Eisai Inc.
Webinars: Child Neurology Community Conversations from the Voices of the Provider, Caregiver, and Advocate
Twice a year, we host educational webinars that address disease-specific issues from the provider, caregiver, and advocate perspectives to provide the child neurology community with a forum for bringing partners' perspectives together. Pediatric neurologists provide clinical considerations related to the disease-specific issue, caregivers share their experiences and advice, and organizational advocates highlight current resources available to help support both clinicians and families. View past webinars.
This website was created primarily to serve as an educational portal for patients and caregivers. It also allows our advocacy and industry partners to get the word out about their own programs, educational materials, research studies, and many other initiatives aimed at serving the child neurology community. While there are many viable and trustworthy disease-specific organizations, the Child Neurology Foundation is in a unique position to serve the overarching needs of all members of the community. This website serves as a home within the child neurology community where members can be certain that the information they receive is credible, as all content is vetted by child neurologists. While a work in progress, our Disorder Directory allows visitors to learn from the experts with disease-specific articles written for caregivers by leading child neurologists. Accompanied by stories from families living with the same disorders as well as trusted resources, this growing directory serves as a starting point for caregivers seeking direction and guidance related to their child's unique situation.

Yes. No. Sort of. Many of the stereotypes about Dragon Ball come not from the original manga but rather from the anime adaptations, particularly Dragon Ball Z. The anime, like many popular anime TV shows including Bleach and Naruto, was not produced in "seasons" like American shows; it was produced continuously, one episode a week, for more than ten years. This led sometimes to noticeably low animation quality and general cheesiness, which, when mixed with English dubbing, led to some interesting memes.
One of the problems with the TV series was that it had to follow the plot of the manga, which was also being produced at a rate of one chapter a week. However, one 14-page chapter, consisting mostly of fighting, does not easily fill up a 20-minute animated TV show. As a result, the originally brisk and action-packed manga became padded out into a bloated mess of a TV show. To kill time (and save animation costs), characters would just talk endlessly about what was happening, rather than doing anything. Sometimes the animators created their own non-canon storylines, "filler arcs," in which characters wandered off and got into little adventures or fought one another in different combinations. However, these side stories were never allowed to alter the main plot. Countless animated movies and TV specials, which regurgitated concepts from the manga (Hey! Freeza's got a brother, and he's a bad guy too!) usually just exacerbated the problem. The animators also do an inconsistent job of adapting Toriyama's cartoony character designs for the screen.
For those who would prefer a tighter Dragon Ball Z anime, there is hope; on April 5, 2009, Toei Animation released the first episode of Dragon Ball Kai ("Dragon Ball altered/modified") a remastered edition of the original Dragon Ball Z created for the show's 20th anniversary. According to Toei and Fuji TV, in addition to audio and video remastering, Dragon Ball Kai will eliminate the many "filler arcs" and redundant scenes created for the original Dragon Ball Z anime and make the story stick more closely to Akira Toriyama's original manga.

Respond to Review of Carrots and Coffee
by hack_man
Review: This is a special place. Cosy cafe by day and atmpospheric informal restaurant by night. The range of food is excellent with different main courses each day. You can also buy beer and wine. The ambience of the place is perfect made so by the decor, lighting and staff. Excellent vegan choice and all tastes catered for. Nice location north of the Hbf, up Lister Mieler then turn right at Wedekindstrasse onto Wedekindplatz. Some nice bars in this area for a drink both before and after your visit.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Race cars, fast or otherwise, arrive on flatbed trailers and in expensive haulers. Some are driven to the track. The teams that make the annual pilgrimage to the Daytona International Speedway are mom and pop operations and conglomerations.
Whether it's a sports car or a compact stock car from the Dash Series or one of the marvelous speedsters from the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, everyone comes with the same dream: Winning a race at one of the most-renowned racetracks in the world.
No other speedway offers such a diversity in racing, especially during SpeedWeeks. The racing season opens at Daytona for five racing series. A victory on either the 3.56-mile road course or 2.5-mile tri-oval not only brings fame and fortune to a driver, it seems to validate his career.
Only the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has more seats, but the ratings for the Daytona 500 dwarf every other race on American television, including the Indianapolis 500.
On opening day in 1959, the very first race featured a photo finish between Lee Petty and Johnny Beauchamp. It took NASCAR three days before it finally awarded the win to Petty. Daytona's legendary status among the racing community has been full throttle since.
SpeedWeeks start with the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 on the speedway's road course that uses both the twisting roads in the infield and the high banks of the superspeedway. The twice-around-the-clock race features sports cars, and the list of winners includes names like A.J. Foyt, Hurley Haywood, Peter Gregg and Mario Andretti.
A week later, the stock cars come to town. The Budweiser Shootout all-star race for pole winners of the 2003 season and the Discount Auto Parts 200 for the ARCA Re/Max Series run on Feb. 7; pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 and the IPower 150 for the Dash Series follow on Feb. 8.
The twin-125-mile qualifying races for the Daytona 500 are on Feb. 12th. The top 15 finishers from each race automatically move into the starting lineup for the 500. The rest of the field will be drivers with the fastest qualifying times and those who qualify for one of five provisional exemptions based on last year's car owner standings.
On Feb. 13, the International Race of Champions returns with the first of four races among the top drivers from NASCAR, IRL, CART and World of Outlaws. The other IROC races will be run at Richmond, Va., Atlanta and Fort Worth, Texas. Later that night, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series kicks off its season with the Florida Dodge Dealers 250.
The Hershey's Kisses 300, the cornerstone of the NASCAR Busch Series, is scheduled for a 12:30 p.m. start on Feb. 14, and the Daytona 500 is a day later at 1:30 p.m.
After that, the racing world will pack its tools and put their cars back onto flatbed trailers and expensive haulers and head in different directions. Some will go home; others will move onto the next main event down the road.
What: Race No. 1 of 36
Where: Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Fla.
When: 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 15.
Track dimensions: 2.5-mile tri-oval.
Broadcast: Television - NBC at 12:30 p.m.; Radio - Motor Racing Network
Track records: Qualifying - Bill Elliott, 210.364 mph on Feb. 9, 1987; Race - Buddy Baker, 177.602 mph on Feb. 17, 1980.
Last year's winner: Michael Waltrip.
Most wins: Richard Petty (10)
Most top-five finishes: Richard Petty (28)
Most top-10 finishes: Richard Petty (37)
Oldest winner: Bobby Allison, 50 years, 2 months, 11 days (Feb. 14, 1988)
Youngest winner: Jeff Gordon, 23 years, 10 months, 27 days (July 1, 1995)
Closest margin of victory: 0.029 seconds (John Andretti's victory over Terry Labonte on July 5, 1997)

I would like to see shown on the screen, say along the bottom in the "Aux/script text" area the present grid and/or the default routing and spacing settings. I don't like having to go back to menus and check these. I'd prefer to see it on display on the screen.
Does anyone have a script for this?
Also, years ago Cadence used to have a website where user created scripts were available and downloadable for other users. Is this sight still active and if so please post the web address.
Thanks in advance.

Pharmacyclics announced yesterday (2-12-2013) that they received the Breakthrough Theraphy designation from the FDA for ibrutinib. They stated that the FDA is dedicated to using an "all hands on deck approach" to work on products that show promise in treating life-threatening diseases. Their partner is Janssen which is a partnership with J & J as the controlling partner.
Since the FDA is committing to make this effort, the pat on the back by Pharmacyclics was warranted. I suspect that Sarepta will be well advised to issue a press release if they are awarded ANY favorable treatment by the FDA and not wait for minutes of the meeting or some other humbug. The speech yesterday by Janet Woodcock of the FDA suggests that this would be a good week to for the FDA to award these expedited designations to companies where it is deserved.
This raises the stakes for an announcement this week from Sarepta, notwithstanding any favors they may owe their institutional shareholders.
Thanks to pinappleguava in the IV board for this information.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Shimp, the public doesn't know if Sarepta has even applied for the "Breakthrough Therapy" designation. All we know is that CG was going to look into whether the designation would be helpful before applying for it. Curiously, no one seems clear on what, exactly, the designation will mean. From the Pharmacyclics' press release: "Pharmacylics, together with Janssen, is working with the FDA to determine the implications of this Breakthrough Therapy Designation".
Srpt does not need breakthrough designations nor should they waste their time trying to attain it. What they need is to be on the market and available for patients who need their drug most. The fastest way off achieving this goal is via accelerated approval. Breakthrough designations is for early drugs looking for FDA advice on how to set up their trial and what endpoints need to be achieved. That ship has passed for srpt.
I worded it so they should announce AA as well as Breakthrough Therapy. After all, they have been on a "Fast Track" since December, 2007. At some point the fast track will begin to slow down if they don't show the attainment of some goal and thank the FDA for their kind attention.
CG seems to suck at issuing timely, pertinent PR's. I have no idea why, but, he does not seem to believe in them the way other CEO's do.

Leagues in 21 communities recently wrapped up their work on the LWVEF 2012 High School Voter Registration Project. All in all, the fabulous volunteer teams visited a total of 166 schools and helped more than 8,500 young people register to vote for the first time!
With all the hullaballoo last week over the Supreme Court's decisions on health care and immigration, it's not surprising that most people missed a four-line order issued on Thursday, well after the health care decision was announced. But for those of us closely following voter registration issues, those four lines spoke volumes.
The League is one of the nation's largest and most longstanding community based voter registration groups. In major election years, League volunteers help hundreds of thousands register or update their registration, focusing on reaching underrepresented groups such as young voters, minorities and first-time voters

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE. A program that pays benefits to partially offset the loss of wages due to unemployment.
At the height of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Committee on Economic Security recommended the establishment of two national social insurance systems. The first program would provide old-age benefits to retired workers and the second program would provide compensation for the unemployed. In 1935, the Social Security Act created both of these programs -- the social security and unemployment insurance (UI) programs.
From its inception, the intent was to entice states to participate in UI so it would be a federal-state relationship. By 1937, all states had adopted unemployment insurance laws patterned after model legislation prepared by the Social Security Board. The board, whose formation had been recommended by the President's Committee on Economic Security, had the responsibility of assisting states in setting up their UI systems and monitoring changes in state UI systems.
The Social Security Act of 1935 contained two titles that dealt with unemployment insurance-Title III, which provided for administrative grants, and Title IX, which provided for the financing of the system. The federal administrative grants, under Title III. were to assist in the proper administration of the federal UI law among the states and were at the discretion of the Social Security Board.
Under Title IX, employers were required to pay a federal unemployment insurance excise tax if they employed eight or more people for 20 or more weeks a year. The tax rate initially was set at 1 percent of total payroll in 1936, increasing to 2 percent in 1937 and 3 percent in 1938. Some kinds of employment were excluded from the tax, such as agricultural labor, domestic employees; individuals providing service for nonprofit organizations of a religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational nature; and individuals working for the federal, state, and local levels of government.
As an incentive to get states to levy their own UI excise taxes, employers making contributions to state unemployment compensation programs were eligible for credit up to 90 percent of the federal tax. The credit was contingent on the state UI law conforming to federal guidelines established by the Social Security Board.
A trust fund was created by the 1935 act (see trustfund). The Unemployment Trust Fund was to receive the UI excise taxes collected by the federal and state governments and to invest the funds in federal securities.
The UI system was created with a number of objectives in mind. First and foremost, unemployment insurance was intended to alleviate the hardships that result from the loss of income during periods of unemployment. Unemployment insurance would provide cash to enable workers basically to maintain their living standard. Secondary objectives included allowing an unemployed worker time to locate new employment or regain old employment, providing the unemployed time to retrain for a new job and providing a degree of stabilization during difficult economic times.
The UI system is structured to systematically accumulate funds during good economic times in order to provide benefits during periods of high unemployment. Therefore, the concepts of solvency and reserves are of utmost importance to the successful operation of a UI system.
State unemployment insurance systems seek to balance benefit payments to recipients with contributions to the system. The traditional principle holds that the pool of reserves should be structured so it is able to finance unemployment benefits during a succession of economic cycles without going into the red. A system is considered insolvent when it lacks sufficient resources-accumulated reserves from prior periods plus employer contributions during the current period-to pay benefits earned during the period. Insolvency does not mean benefits go unpaid because the federal-state UI structure allows states to borrow from the federal unemployment trust fund to cover payments when insolvency occurs.
There are three primary approaches that can be used to maintain solvency in a state unemployment insurance system: countercyclical, replenishment, and balancing reserves. The three approaches differ in the requirements they place on reserve fund levels held in the state system and the effect they have on UI tax rate changes over time.
Countercyclical Finance. One of the stated objectives of the UI system is to provide a measure of countercyclical stabilization to counter swings in the business cycle. The system operates as an automatic stabilizer; as unemployment increases, tax contributions decline and benefit payments increase, providing a dampening effect on the decline of economic activity. In an expansion, the reverse occurs, constraining potential inflationary pressures.
In order to maximize the countercyclical potential of an unemployment insurance system, the tax rate schedule would rise when benefit payment requirements are low

I'm using Cake 2.1, and with it comes the new JsonView. What I'd like to do is POST to a method in my controller and render an html fragment so that I can return it as a value in json.
Previously I'd do something like this:
public function ajaxSubmit() {
if (!$this->request->is('ajax')) {
} else {
$this->autoRender = $this->layout = false;
$message = 'Please enter a message';
$errorFragment = $this->render('/Elements/errors/flash_error');
$toReturn = array('errorFragment' => $errorFragment);
return json_encode($toReturn);
Which only sends back the html fragment of that particular
flash_error element such that I can't have multiple
key => values being sent back in a standard json object. I want to be able to send both html fragments and just plain text as json.
So my question really is, how can I render an HTML element and set it with a (key=>value pair) to be sent back as json from my controller using the JsonView that Cake 2.1 provides? I already have set in my routes file
Router::parseExtensions('json'); and I'm including the
RequestHandler component inside of my AppController.

Listen to Harry Redknapp says QPR's Stephane Mbia
STEPHANE MBIA has told his QPR team-mates that the only way they will get out of trouble is by following Harry Redknapp's orders.
The most important thing is to follow what the gaffer says
And in a clear message to Bosingwa, and any other Loftus Road rebels, Mbia said: "The most important thing is to follow what the gaffer says.
"That is the only way we can move forward as a team. If he tells me to play somewhere, I make sure I play there.
"If he wants you to sit on the bench, you sit on the bench.
"The way to show him you should not sit on the bench is by performing well on the training pitch.
"It is up to the manager to make the decisions. It was a very important decision (to appoint Redknapp) for all the players because we need to get away from the bottom of the table.
"It is up to the players to give 100 per cent, but the manager will give a lot to us.
"He will enable the players to give the best of themselves. I believe in him. I believe he is the man to get us out of trouble."
Rangers will be aiming to revive their survival bid against Liverpool on Sunday following back-to-back defeats.
Cameroonian midfielder Mbia said: "We might be down but the manager knows how to get us up.
"It would be a massive win, but at this stage of the season I think that we can do it.
"We will come out fighting against Liverpool and for the rest of the season as well.

'Homefront' game looks at future U.S. resistance
It's 2027, and a reunified Korea has invaded the United States.
That's the premise of "Homefront," a new video game from THQ that explores what might happen if Americans were forced to form a resistance to an invading army.
The game's lead level designer, Rex Dickson, said the game deals with the foreign occupation of America, and how that could come about.
"We have what we call pillars, or guiding statements, and one of those pillars was 'familiar has become alien,'" Dickson said. "We did a lot of research into post-peak oil, what would happen after an oil crash, when gas was no longer available. What would our country look like if democracy were to fall apart, or fail, when there were no jobs left, when things began to get more and more abandoned?"
Dickson said designers looked at some modern cities, where large neighborhoods have been abandoned in the throes of the Great Recession.
"Anyone in the United States who grew up in suburbia will immediately understand these places," he said.
The "Homefront" game is expected to spawn sequels and already has led to a novel, "Homefront: The Voice of Freedom," by John Milius and Raymond Benson, exploring the game's backstory.
"Homefront is set to become one of THQ's most successful original IP launches," said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ, in a release. "The team at Kaos (has) spent three years building an FPS (first person shooter) that competes with the very best, offering a thrilling and original single-player experience and hundreds of hours of multiplayer."
THQ is providing dedicated servers for console and PC versions of "Homefront."
"Dedicated servers allow us to support 32 players on large maps with infantry, vehicles and drones, and level the playing field compared to titles that rely on user-hosted games," said Drew Como, director of infrastructure, THQ.
In the game, the reunified Korea acts much like Japan in World War II, island-hopping until it is able to control large portions of Asia.
"They attack the United States with an electromagnetic pulse weapon, and that is a very real-world threat," Dickson said. "It knocks out all electricity and computer devices and shuts down all communication."
This allows the Korean army to mount an incursion into the United States.
"The Koreans don't do a full-scale invasion of the United States; they go after pockets here and there," trying to take over resource-heavy areas, Dickson said.
The game was written by Milius, who co-wrote the film "Apocalypse Now" and wrote and directed "Red Dawn."
"While 'Red Dawn' is closest in terms of its depiction of civilian resistance, 'Apocalypse Now' ... was much closer to what we were going for in terms of tone," Dickson said. "This is a very dark, serious game. We wanted to get away from the ... thrill-a-minute action movie."
Milius established the arc and created a strong focus on the civilian storyline. The players take on the role of a civilian resistance force in Colorado.
"He's been giving us feedback constantly on what would make sense for resistance fighters, and things that a civilian resistance would be capable of versus a professional soldier and squad."
Dickson said many Americans are used to living in a resource-rich environment, and one of the questions the game wants players to ask themselves is how they might react in a dangerous, desperate situation.
"We're trying to pull on that emotion and ask that question. ... Maybe it's very unlikely that we could ever be invaded, but what if?" Dickson said. "And you know, even just asking that question makes people very uncomfortable. But that's exactly what the game is all about."

Governor Pat McCrory will launch the state's four-yearlong Centennial Commemoration of World War I at a wreath-laying ceremony at the North Carolina Veterans Monument on the grounds of the State Capitol Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014. The ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. and re-enactors will be on the State Capitol grounds throughout the day.
The state's official commemoration is under the auspices of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources.
"North Carolina played a prominent part in our country's involvement in the war that changed the course of history forever,"said Governor Pat McCrory. "We sent thousands of soldiers to combat, bravely leaving loved ones to fight for freedom abroad. The War's centennial commemoration and this ceremony present an important opportunity for North Carolinians to reflect upon the valor of those who answered their country's call 100 years ago."
Although the United States did not formally enter the war until 1917, the first Tar Heels left North Carolina to join the French Foreign Legion 100 years ago in August 1914. However, once the United States declared war against Germany in April 1917, North Carolinians supported the war effort and rallied behind President Woodrow Wilson when he said that America was fighting for democracy in what would be called "a war to end all wars."
"North Carolinians have always had global impact," said Susan Kluttz, Secretary of the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources. "On this day, we are proud to honor those who fought and gave their lives to this conflict, so we might be free."
North Carolina sent 86,457 soldiers overseas to fight for the United States. By the end of the war, North Carolina lost 2,377 men to battlefields and disease and saw another 3,655 return home wounded.
A procession of World War I re-enactors and others will march from the Legislative Building to the State Capitol at 9:30 a.m. The ceremony, led by Governor McCrory and Secretary Kluttz, will begin at the base of the Veterans Memorial at 10:30 a.m. Members of the General Assembly, Council of State and the state Supreme Court will participate.
"World War I created the modern world by undermining European aristocracy, shifting national borders, industrializing warfare, and expanding the public realm of women," said Dr. Kevin Cherry, director of the North Carolina Office of Archives and History and Deputy Secretary of the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources. "The war also changed North Carolina and North Carolinians. Our state emerged from this first global conflict less rural, more worldly and better equipped to serve the nation through industry, military installations and shipbuilding enterprises at our ports."
The re-enactors will remain on the Capitol grounds following the ceremony to answer questions and provide a glimpse of what life was like for those who served in the Great War. For more information on North Carolina's commemoration of World War I, visit www.ncdcr.gov/worldwar1.

18 September 2003
1) We think that the draft Act is a move in the right direction in the sense that it appears as if it will make the Act and the Courts more "user-friendly".
2) The draft Act states categorically that the new Act should be read in conjunction with Chapter 8 of the Constitution, which contains the founding provisions of the structure of the superior Courts, the jurisdiction of those Courts and for the appointment of judicial officers of those Courts. This confirms the legislative basis of our present democracy.
3) The corresponding legislation of the former TBVC States, relating to Courts and the structure thereof, caused a lot of frustration. The bill and the proposed new seats of the various divisions of the High Court will, to our mind, do away with these frustrations and will also promote the interests of the general public, in the sense that access to a Court closer to "home" will be possible, especially litigants coming from outlying rural areas. These provisions however, are a cause of concern to many others, as will be seen later herein, and the LSSA, representing 41 the attorneys, cannot take a position on the seats of the courts.
4) The bill, when same attains legislative power, will also result in the Rules of the various Courts being revisited. We expect that the exercise of harmonizing the Rules of the High and Lower Courts will also receive urgent attention in due course.
We would like to offer the following technical comments
1) Ad Section 4(2)(b) : We deem it unnecessary that provision that provision be made for the appointment of more than one Deputy Judges President, in spite of the fact that any one Division of the High Court may have more than one seat.
2) Ad Section 4(4)(a) : This section should be amended to provide for consultation with representatives of the organized Legal Profession so as to determine the area under jurisdiction of any one Division and also as to where seats for any particular Division will be located. It appears as if local custom and the needs of the public will have to be taken into account.
3) Ad Section 10(2) and Section 11(5): We are perturbed by the cost implications of de novo hearings in circumstances where there is no judgment to which a majority of Judges agree. We propose that in like circumstances, the fact that there is no majority judgment, must be regarded as a finding of absolution of the instance in civil matters and discharge in criminal matters.
4) Ad Section 16(1): We suggest that suspension of the operation and execution of a decision as referred to herein, should only apply to matters where an Appeal has been lodged. Experience has taught that Applications for Leave are often lodged while the Applicant does not have reasonable prospect of success. The application procedure is then drawn out with the sole object of frustrating the right of the Respondent to execute the order a quo. The mere fact that an adverse or special cost order can decreed, will not compensate the Respondent for any loss suffered due to the delay. Another mechanism must be introduced to cater for those matters in which there is a bona fide Application for Leave to Appeal. In that regard we suggest some form of security to be furnished by Applicants for Leave to Appeal, where such an Application relates to a judgment sounding in money.
5) Ad Section 22: We would suggest that the following sentence be inserted after Sub-section (b):
"...provided that if the last day on which a party may enter an appearance to defend in terms of this section, falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Public Holiday, the time allowed for entering an appearance will only expire on the first Court day following on such Saturday , Sunday, or Public Holiday..."
6) Ad Section 32, 33,34 and 42 : We are of the opinion that the matters referred to herein should be provided for in the Rules and not in the Act itself.
7) Ad Section 46(1): The reference to "Section 11 A" in the last sentence should be a reference to "Section 12(3)".
The Law Society of South Africa Council has received the memorandum from its Labour Law Committee as quoted herein, and the Law Society supports the content and conclusion of the memorandum.
1) The Superior Courts Bill has been published for comment. This Memorandum deals with the proposals contained in Clause 12 of the Bill relating to the Labour Court and labour matters.
2) In essence the proposal is to dispense with the existing Labour Court as provided for in the Labour Relations Act and to make provision for labour matters to be dealt with by the High Court.
3) It is worth considering the motivation contained in the explanatory memorandum published at the time that the Labour Relations Act No 66 of 1995 was published.
4) The Memorandum dealt with the problems of the then present system and the proposals which were contained in the Act as to how the system was to be improved.
5) The difficulty was said to be that the Dispute Resolution Processes did not function effectively. The excessive work load of the then Industrial Court was a factor in the failure of the system and it was stated specifically that:-"There are fundamental problems with the Court system for the
adjudication of Labour mattes. The Industrial Court is positioned outside the hierarchy of the Judiciary It lacks status. It does not provide a career path for its Members or its Administrative Staff They hove no security of tenure and their remuneration bears no relation to either market related or judicially related packages."
6) It must be emphasized and taken into account that this was the motivation for the creation of the Labour Court and that the Labour Relations Act No 66 of 1995 addressed all these issues.
7) The Memorandum continues to state;-
"The draft 941 proposes the establishment of a Labour Court with National Jurisdiction. A Judge of the Labour Court must be legally qualified but need not be a Judge of the Supreme Court Experienced Advocates, Attorneys and Academics will be eligible for appointments. The appointments will be made by the Judge President of the Labour Court in consultation with Nedlac. The Labour Court will perform a variety of functions both as a Court of Appeal and a Court of First Instance. The emphasis in the Draft 941 on conciliation as the primary means of dispute resolution is echoed in this section. The Labour Court is entitled to decline to hear a matter unless it is reasonably satisfied that the dispute has been referred to conciliation and that the parties have attempted to resolve the dispute."
8) The Labour Relations Act embodies the sentiments:-
8.1 Section 151 establishes the Labour Court as a Court of law and equity It is said to be a Superior Court with the authority, inherent powers and standing equal to that of a Provincial Division of the Supreme Court. It is also a Court of Record.
8.2 Section 154 of the Act deals with the Tenure remuneration in terms of conditions of employment to Labour Court Judges.
8.3 Section 155 of the Act provides for the appointment of officers of the Labour Court.
9) The establishment of the Labour Court was to address certain specific concerns as per the explanatory memorandum including:
9.1 That the then Industrial Court was situated outside the hierarchy of the Judiciary and lacked status and did not provide for a career path for its members or admin staff and that they hod no security of Tenure.
9.2 That it was needed to properly establish and maintain a Labour Court in order to obviate delays and provide for proper dispute resolution.
10) It is a fact that in the appointment of Judges and Officers of the Labour Court and in the provision of facilities required to enable the Labour Court to function effectively, the sentiments expressed in the explanatory memorandum and embodied in the Labour Relations Act have been largely ignored. It is this that has created the problem and not the establishment of the specialized court.
11) Tenure of Judges has not been adequately addressed, the Court has suffered from inadequate funding and has not been given the assistance that it required and was provided for in the Labour Relations Act. Somewhat startlingly these are now reasons advanced for the Bills' proposed intention to abolish the Labour Court as a separate specialist Court and to incorporate its functions in the High Court.
12) It is submitted that had the Labour Court received adequate funding and adequate assistance as envisaged in the explanatory Memorandum and as provided for in the Act it would have succeeded.
13) It is questionable as to whether the provisions of the Superior Court's Bill will in any way address the problems which were adequately addressed in the explanatory Memorandum in the Labour Relations Act and that they have been acted upon.
14) It is accordingly proposed that the Labour Court be given the proper recognition that it is afforded in the Labour Relations Act and that in compliance with the Act, proper appointments are made and proper funding is provided and the Court be afforded the status provided for in the Labour Relations Act, is recognized. The provisions in the proposed Bill relating to the Labour Court can be removed from that Bill.
15) As far as the jurisdictional problems regarding appeals are concerned it is not unreasonable to amalgamate the Labour Appeal Court with the Supreme Court of Appeals as provided for in the Bill.
16) It is the concern of the Law Society of South Africa's Standing Committee on Labour Law that the specialist nature of the Labour Court and the specific nature of the disputes that it is required to resolve will be detrimentally diluted by its abolishment and its functions being transferred to the High Court.
17) The High Court of necessity and correctly so functions on a more formalized basis and the extension of this approach to labour disputes will not address the difficulties and problems that the Labour Relations Act addressed. There is no guarantee that labour matters being dealt with in the High Court; nor that the appointment of staff and specialist Judges as detailed in the proposed Bill will result in labour matters being dealt with any more expeditiously. The fact remains that labour disputes are different and are required to be dealt with differently.
18) The fact that the provisions of the Labour Relations Act No 66 of 1995 have been largely ignored and that the Court has not received adequate funding as a specialist court, suggests that this might well be repeated where labour matter as simply incorporated into all other matters dealt with by High Courts.
19) It is therefore the proposal of the Law Society of South Africa that the real issues, namely the appointment and tenure of Judges and the proper funding and functioning of the Labour Court be addressed. It is not necessary to abolish the Labour Court as a specialist court in order to achieve this.
20) The proposals to abolish the Labour Court ignore the merits of a specialist Court and do not take into account the integrated dispute resolution structures contained in the Labour Relations Act of which include Labour Court as an integral part.
21) As far as the Labour Appeal Court is concerned the proposed incorporation of the Labour Appeal Court into the Supreme Court of Appeals is both proper and desirable given the Constitutional conundrum that its existence has caused."
The LSSA has also received a submission from the Attorneys' Association of Brits, a town situated approximately 50kms from Pretoria.
Again, the view is that of the Brits Attorneys' Association and not of the LSSA.
"We confirm that we have noted the contents of the interim report regarding the rationalization of the areas of jurisdiction of the High Courts in the Republic of South Africa dated 2 October 2002. It is necessary that we as the Society of Attorneys of Brits (Madibeng) should bring the possible consequences of the incorporation of Brits (Madibeng) district within the Mafikeng's jurisdiction to your attention. We wish to reiterate that the reasons are based on pure grounds of expediency, proximity, cost effectiveness and at the end that the ends of justice must not be defeated by a political map We wish to specify the following grounds for the consideration that Brits / Madibeng should be under the jurisdiction of Pretoria Tswane.
1) The Brits Magisterial area's boundary is as near as approximately fifteen kilometers from the Pretoria High Court. It includes the area very near the Lanseria Airport and the surrounding area around the Hartesbeestpoort Dam. The area stretches further to the western side to approximately thirty-five kilometers from Rustenburg. In the light of this proximity to Pretoria and the Gauteng areas, it was in terms of the interim constitution of the RSA a so-called "affected area".
2) Under the previous government, it was an identified area for the development of industrial development as it was adjacent to the Republic of Bophuthatswana consequence hereof, many companies are situated in Brits.
3) The cost to drive from Brits to Mafikeng, approximately two-hundred and fifty kilometers, in comparison to the travelling costs to Pretoria approximately fifty-two kilometers from the inside of Brits to the High Court 'is self-explanatory. We are not authorized to speak on behalf of the CDI District's people, but we are of the opinion that the courts will become more inaccessible for the poor as a consequence of such a step.
4) As there is no collective organization or non-governmental organization, which may represent the people specifically regarding this issue, we, as attorneys, are aware of the needs and frustrations of our clients in this area.
5) It is our humble submission that a hard and fast rule that the High Court's boundaries must at all costs be the same as the Provinces is not fair and equitable towards the people of specifically this area.
6) This proximity argument was applied by the Task Team regarding Umtata and Grahamstown.
7) It is our suggestion that as an alternative, the Mafikeng and Pretoria courts should have concurrent jurisdiction.
8) In order to avoid artificial schemes to contract to exclude jurisdiction of the court or to consent to other courts, it is our submission that you should reconsider this possibility.
9) We suggest that a consultation process be initiated with other role players and representatives of the area before a final decision is made. We shall appreciate it if we can be informed of such a meeting. We can also facilitate such an arrangement.
In the last instance, we shall appreciate it if you can convey this to the Honorable Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development as well as the Honorable Chief
Justice A Chaskalson.
In the last instance a delegation of this society would like to meet you to discuss these aspects. If possible, it should be expedient if you could hold an inspection in logo and we invite you formally to Brits to hold such a meeting."
We also include the submissions by the Mpumalanga Attorneys Council which it attached hereto.
We thank the Portfolio Committee for the opportunity to submit this submission and if we could provide further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely
I write to you in my capacity as Chairperson of the Mpumalanga Circle of the Law Society of
the Northern Provinces (incorporated as the Law Society of the Transvaal). The Circle is as
such properly constituted in terms of the provisions of Section 69(j) of the Attorneys Act
53 of 1979.
The Council of the Mpumalanga Circle (Mpumalanga Attorneys Council) has noted with appreciation and expectation, the fact that the Draft of the Superior Courts Bill provides for a Hi9h Court to be established for Mpumalanga. We welcome the proposal, especially as Mpumalanga is the only Province in South Africa that does not have a High Court within its boundaries.
We appreciate the fact that the establishment of a High Court within our Province, will require substantial expenditure, and for that reason accept that it will probably not happen immediately.
It came to the attention of the Mpumalanga Attorneys Council that some individuals and organizations within the organized profession, and mainly from the Pretoria region, are now requesting that the Minister should consider granting concurrent jurisdiction for the High Courts situated in Northern Gauteng (Pretoria) and Mpumalanga.
The Mpumalanga Attorneys Council discussed the matter at its meeting of 16 September 2003, and from the discussion it would seem that there are divided views within the Province. Although this makes a submission from our side very difficult, if not impossible, I undertook to put the two views to you for onward transmission to the Committee considering the implementation of the Bill.
It is generally accepted by all attorneys within Mpumalanga, that the seat of a High Court within the Province will be Nelepruit. It would be impractical from a logistical and cost point of view, not to have the Court situated in the same city as the legislator. Nelspruit is also the capital of Mpumalanga and has an existing infrastructure of legal practitioners on which to build a High Court practice. The views expressed hereinafter, are therefore based or the expectation that the seat of the Court will be in Nelspruit.
A. The Highveld Region of Mpumalanga
The attorneys from Standerton, Witbank and Middelburg, are in favour of
establishing concurrent jurisdiction for the Mpumalanga and Northern Gauteng
(Pretoria) High Courts. Their arguments are mainly the following:
1. The Highveld Region is, generally speaking, situated closer to Pretoria than to Nelspruit. It would therefore be more convenient for practitioners practicing within these towns, to operate in a High Court situated in Pretoria than in Nelspruit.
2. All practitioners within this area, already have established relationships with Pretoria correspondents and advocates, and it would cause disruption for them to build up new relationships with attorneys and advocates in Nelspruit.
3. Nelspruit does not at present have a sufficient number of advocates to serve a High Court of any proportions, and a new bar will have to be established for that purpose.
4. Colleagues in the said areas do not believe that access to justice will be improved by forcing litigants from these areas to institute legal proceedings in Nelspruit, as the longer distance would increase the costs of litigation. Also, the Court (both the Bench and staff component) in Nelspruit will be much smaller than that in Pretoria, with only a small number of advocates and correspondents to choose from, all of which might negatively affect the delivery of legal services to the public.
B. The Lowveld Region of Mpumalanga
Attorneys from this region, including White River, Barberton and Nelspruit, are against the provision of concurrent jurisdiction for the Mpumalanga and Northern Gauteng (Pretoria) High Courts. The following arguments have been put forward in support of this submission:
1. It must be accepted that the establishment of a High Court for Mpumalanga, will have tremendous cost implications, not only in establishing the Court, but also to ensure its smooth and continued functioning. In order to make this viable, it is imperative that as many cases as possible be dealt with by that Court, as this would enable the authorities to establish a big enough and viable Bench, supported by a competent and qualified staff component in order to ensure the proper functioning of the Court. If concurrent jurisdiction is allowed, as a result whereof a substantial number of practitioners within the Province may decide not to support the Mpumalanga Court, but rather to refer their litigation to Pretoria, it would mean that the viability of the Mpumalanga Court could be seriously jeopardized.
2. It is furthermore submitted that Nelspruit already has an infrastructure of approximately 40 firms of attorneys who would easily enough be able to restructure themselves in order to support a High Court practice.
3. Once the decision is made to establish a High Court in Mpumalanga upon certain date, it is submitted that a number of advocates and Supreme Court specialists would open offices in Nelspruit, either on a full time or part time basis. Nelspruit has an international airport, which would furthermore facilitate the movement of practitioners and advocates to and from Nelspruit.
4. It is also submitted that the argument by Highveld practitioners that they are closer to Pretoria than to Nelspruit, should not carry much weight. Most of the work to be carried out at the seat of the Court, is at present done by correspondents in Pretoria, who could easily be replaced by correspondents in Nelspruit. Although it is admitted that for some extreme areas in Mpumalanga, it would be a lot further to travel to Nelspruit than to Pretoria, it is certainly not the case in all instances. It must be remembered that at present all litigants from Mpumalanga, including the Lowveld area (which is the longest distance from Pretoria), have to travel to Pretoria, and if this is taken into consideration, we believe that an overall saving would still be achieved by situating the Court in Nelspruit. To allow concurrent jurisdiction might jeopardize the viability of such a Court, as has already previously been argued. The argument that the establishment of a High Court in Nelspruit, would cause the loss of employment opportunities or income for the legal profession in Pretoria, cannot hold sway if it is viewed from a broader perspective. Any employment opportunities lost in Pretoria (which is in any event disputed as they will still have a High Court), will become new employment opportunities at the seat of the Mpumalanga Court and the income generated by expanding the legal services provided in the Province, will directly benefit the people in the Province. In not allowing concurrent jurisdiction, these employment opportunities will be enhanced even further as a more viable and busy High Court practice will be created at the seat of the Mpumalanga Court. The advantages of this will benefit not only the legal profession in Mpumalanga, but also the supporting industries.
6. It will also improve access to justice for many people if a viable High Court could be established inside the province. It is submitted that by not allowing concurrent jurisdiction, the position of those people living on the Highveld would not be materially affected, as the will still have to institute their actions in a Court situated in a distant location. The fear is that, should concurrent jurisdiction be allowed, the establishment of the Court 'night not be financially viable, which would leave a large part of the population with more than 300 kilometers to travel to their nearest High Court, which is situated in a different province.
The above are only some of the arguments put forward in relation to the different points of view within Mpumalanga, and whereas this Council is bound to serve the profession in the whole of Mpumalanga, it is clearly difficult for it to take a firm stance in favour of either of the viewpoints.
It is therefore respectfully submitted that the Committee carefully consider the arguments put forward by the various parties in this respect (also those from outside the Province, who stand to be affected by the establishment of the Mpumalanga High Court) an to make its decision in the best interests of all concerned, but mainly in the interest of the public in Mpumalanga. What must however be reiterated, is that the profession Mpumalanga would welcome the establishment of its own High Court as soon as it may be reasonably and financially possible.
Yours faithfully

Nothing is reasonable about Cam being signifantly limited in rush attempts. You can talk situational use....but Cam will continue to run. Pretty sure you argued all last offseason Cam will be limited in rush attempts....how did that turn out. Again, pot meet kettle. When are you admittedly wrong. I was wrong about Jarrett....only thing on this board Inhave devoted real energy to that blew up on me. Back peddle? You still claim signing 2 RBs to big deals was the right call. He said it within one month of getting hired. I am sure someone with less to do can look for it. I know he said it, everyone else knows he said it. Whether you believe it or not, who cares. And no I didn't say that Cam would be limited in his carries. Go find it. It doesn't exist. Your words. And again I never said that signing both backs to big contracts was right. I said that we had to sign Williams because of 2010, Richardson blowing up the team, not sure what Cam would do etc. We signed Stewart to a big contract expected 2014 to be a TV contract year which it wasn't. So the landscape has changed and decisions made then had to be altered. Was it wrong then?? Debatable. Wrong in hindsight?? That is always 20-20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Article: Methylphenidate DAT binding in adolescents with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder comorbid with Substance Use Disorder - a single Photon Emission Computed Tomography with [Tc99m]TRODAT-1 study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is highly prevalent among adolescents with Substance Use Disorders (SUD). Effects of methylphenidate (MPH) on ADHD are attributed to its properties of blocking the dopamine transporter (DAT) in the striatum. However, it has been demonstrated that drug addiction is associated with dopaminergic system changes that may affect MPH brain effects, emphasizing the need to better understand MPH actions in subjects with ADHD+SUD. To evaluate the effect of an extended release formulation of MPH (MPH-SODAS) on DAT availability in 17 stimulant-naive ADHD adolescents with comorbid SUD (cannabis and cocaine). Subjects underwent two single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans with [Tc(99m)]TRODAT-1, at baseline and after 3 weeks on MPH-SODAS. Clinical assessment for ADHD relied on the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Scale - version IV (SNAP-IV). Caudate and putamen DAT binding potential (BP) was calculated. After 3 weeks on MPH-SODAS, there was a significant reduction of SNAP-IV total scores (p<0.001), and approximately 52% reductions of DAT BP at the left and right caudate. Similar decreases were found at the left and right putamen (p<0.001 for all analyses). Discussion: This study shows that the magnitude of DAT blockade induced by MPH in this population is similar to what is found in ADHD patients without SUD comorbidity, providing neurobiological support for trials with stimulants in adolescents with ADHD+SUD, an important population excluded from studies.
Article: Higher nigrostriatal dopamine neuron loss in early than late onset Parkinson's disease? A [99mTc]-TRODAT-1 SPECT study. Mov Disord[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) is distinct from the classic late-onset PD (LOPD) because of its slower disease progression. The aim of this study was to compare dopamine neuronal loss in EOPD with that of LOPD with the same disease duration, through dopamine transporter (DAT) estimation. Fourteen patients, seven EOPD (<50 years) and seven LOPD, matched for disease duration were scanned with [(99m)Tc]-TRODAT-1-SPECT (INER-Taiwan), and were assessed with standard PD scales. EOPD patients had 34% lower striatal DAT binding potential (BP) compared with that of LOPD patients (BP = 0.29 +/- 0.12, BP = 0.44 +/- 0.12, P < 0.02) with similar PD severity. These results suggest that EOPD patients have greater dopamine density loss than LOPD patients without motor-symptom worsening.
Article: Neuroimaging of the dopamine transporter in Parkinsons disease: first study using [99mTc]-TRODAT-1 and SPECT in Brazil[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Dopamine transporter (DAT) neuroimaging radiotracers were developed to estimate dopamine neuronal loss in vivo in Parkinsons disease (PD). To evaluate DAT density in vivo using [99mTc]-TRODAT-1 and single photon computerized tomography (SPECT) in a population of Brazilian PD. Fifteen PD patients and 15 matched healthy controls scanned with [99mTc]-TRODAT-1 (INER-Taiwan) and SPECT. Estimates of striatum DAT density were calculated using binding potential (BP). Patients were assessed with PD scales. PD patients had significantly lower striatal DAT-BP (mean+/-SD) (0.38+/-0.12) compared to controls (BP=0.84+/-0.16; p<0.01). A 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity was obtained to discriminate PD cases from controls. Negative correlations between striatal DAT-BP and PD severity (rho=-0.7, p<0.001) and motor scales (rho=-0.80, p<0.001) were found. [99mTc]TRODAT-1 SPECTs scanning was able to discriminate PD patients from controls. The technique is a powerful instrument to measure DAT density that can be used in clinical and research settings in Brazil.

Weber-Fechner Law states that the perceived intensity is proportional to the logarithm of the stimulus. Recent experiments suggest that this law also holds true for perception of numerosity. Therefore, the use of a logarithmic scale for the quantification of the perceived intensity may also depend on how the cognitive apparatus processes information. If Weber-Fechner law is the result of natural selection, then the logarithmic scale should be better, in some sense, than other biologically feasible scales. We consider the minimization of the relative error as the target of natural selection and we provide a formal proof that the logarithmic scale minimizes the maximal relative error.

Comments about Jkara Floral-Beaded Chiffon Gown:
I actually loved the look of the dress but it's too long (I'm 5'7" tall) and not as fitted looking as is shown in the pictures. The dress would look great on someone who is at least 5'10" or taller and thin. I returned it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not what it appears
By Carrie
from Minneapolis, MN
See all my reviews
This dress appears very pretty in the picture but.... When I put it on there were several problems. First the armholes were tiny, so much so that they dug into my underarms! Very uncomfortable! I am a perfect size 8 with every dress I try on. So when I say tiny, I mean tiny! Must be a design flaw. Also, the cowl neck does not lay nicely. The neck is cowled in the back too, which one would not know since there is no picture of the back. Lastly, it did look good on me. So I returned it. On the bright side the beading and shirt are very pretty.
So, so pleased!

Really happy with this on-line purchase. The dress delivered was exactly as it appeared on the website. Fit and color are just as I expected. Delivery was so fast. Thank you!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful Black tie Event Gown
By Tericho
from Colorado Springs, CO
This quality elegant gown was returned with price and shipping & handling refunded. I needed a gown with only the cowl neckline in the front with a fully covered backside. The description about the dress was unclear to me that both the front and back bodice had the cowl neckline. The on-line model did not have the capability to show the backside unfortunately. I only could determine to buy the gown with the description in words. On-line modeling of the dresses that show the front and back sides are most helpful for the buyer to make a good decision. The dress is perfect for a black tie event for someone who wants an open front and backside plus a wide neckline.
feminine and flattering
By Mama Hips
from Bryan,Texas
Tried on size 6. Fit perfectly except for hips and long length. The scooped back and soft cowl-neck drape provide a very feminine look. My hips require a size 8, and it wasn't available, so I ordered another JKARA gown in sz 6, that was similar.

Perfect dress for me
By Jan the DogNut
from Baltimore, MD
I love this dress! I looked Everywhere for a dress for a formal wedding, but nothing looked good or felt right. I have a size-14 proportioned figure. This dress fits like a dream and makes me feel very pretty. I have light skin and hair and so, contrary to most opinions, I look ghastly in black. This is a very pretty blue.

Star Wars Eagle Nine Concepts by stourangeauWatch
©2006-2016 stourangeau
A friend of mine that creates my 3D Starships was recently asked to come up with a Corellian Fighter/Smuggler ship for a game and asked me to sketch out the ship for him.
This is one of sketches and Illustrator pieces that I came up with for him.
This is one of sketches and Illustrator pieces that I came up with for him.
Bam! In my favorites!
Cool design!!! but I think the cockpit should be facing straight on. It'd be weird to be flying at a 45 degree angle when your ship is going straight
Very interesting design, Sean
Wow, that is a great looking ship.
Looks like a mixture between the Falcon and a Scimitar.
Cool concept art!
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Is Eagle Nine a reference to Spaceballs?
I am not sure. This was for a project that my friend was working on and he wanted a few concepts drawn up before he started his 3D mesh.
