The NIEHS-NCATS-UNC DREAM Toxicogenetics Challenge launches today. The aim is to achieve a greater understanding about how a person's individual genetics can influence cytotoxic response to exposure to widely used chemicals.
The challenge is described as a crowdsourced computational challenge, which means it works by engaging communities of scientists to competitively solve a specific problem in a given time period by placing scientific data, tools, and the resulting predictive models into an open commons or workspace—hence, "crowdsourcing" data analysis. It is being led and organized by scientists from Sage Bionetworks, DREAM, the University of North Carolina (UNC), the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).
The NIEHS/NCATS/UNC team recently conducted what they claim to be the largest ever population-based in vitro cytotoxicity study by treating 1,086 human lymphoblastoid cell lines representing nine distinct geographic subpopulations (made available via the 1,000 Genomes Project), with 179 pharmaceutical and environmental chemicals. The resulting cytotoxicity data, when paired with the publicly available genetic and genomic data on each of the respective cell lines, reportedly provides a unique dataset that researchers can use to predict toxic responses to chemical compounds across a genetically diverse human population.
By positioning this data for a DREAM challenge, a community of challenge participants will be asked to solve one or both of two related sub-challenges:
"The long-term strategic value of accurate predictive models will be invaluable for both protection of human health and the environment, and support of innovations in the chemical industry," said Ivan Rusyn, M.D., Ph.D., professor of environmental sciences and engineering at UNC's Gillings School of Global Public Health.
The challenge will close on September 15, 2013, and the top-scoring team or teams will be announced at the November 2013 DREAM conference to be held in Toronto.
Sage Bionetworks and DREAM, who announced their intention to run open science computational challenges to encourage broader collaboration within the research community back in February, also opened two other challenges to the public today:

Skip to comments.Romney Sides with Rubio on Obamas Immigration Action
Posted on 06/15/2012 1:52:16 PM PDT by C19fan
Mitt Romney criticized President Obamas decision to give legal status to young adult illegal immigrants today, saying that the executive action had made it more difficult to bring about a long-term solution.
UPDATE: Its worth noting that, according to a couple of reporters, Romney was asked if he would reverse Obamas order if he was elected and didnt respond.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...
Well hell we may as wwell get behind Obama if Romney and Rubio are going to lick his boots for him.
I am so sick of republicans, I have about had it with this leftist party.
>> Willard = gutless.
Not disputing that, but the fact is 60% of the Republicans in Congress are thrilled that Obama took the pressure off of them and implemented by fiat what they all wanted to do themselves anyway (but feared the political repercussions).
Collectively, the entire party is a feckless bunch of self serving cowards.
I will have to vote Third Party Conservative if Romney is not going to commit to National Security, Defending our Borders, and Deporting Illegal Aliens
Our national security begins at the border
I have never seen such weak wussified politicians in this nation's history
So I see Romney wants to lose just like Juan McCain.
He's waiting for the opinion polls to come out. Gutless indeed.
And after he was looking like he wasn't going to do that.
Figures. The GOP are cowards when it comes to ILLEGAL immigration. It's ILLEGAL you idiots!
Makes you think they'd be swappin' spit if willard wasn't so pure doesn't it?
What about the illegal asians? Deported?
Yeah, he has proved that time and time again.../ms
It's amazing to me how many people have bought into the fantasy that Romney will govern from the right. Hell he will not even govern from the middle. He is a sleazy character with no real definable principles. He has no clear vision.
Hardly a surprise. I can't think of a single issue I actually "trust" Romney on... amnesty, health-care, gay-marriage, spending, 2nd-Amendment, whatever.
The thought of Romney being our nominee still boggles my mind. Watching this election is like watching from afar a Democratic primary between a crazed Marxist and a big-government liberal-progressive. It's impossible for me to feel remotely invested in the whole mess.
Romney played it smart.
The important thing for Romney is to keep the focus on the economy.
This was another feint by Obama to change the debate from the economy to immigration.
Obama would love for Romney to get down in the mud on the immigration/illegal alien issue so he doesn't have to take a beating every day on the economy and unemployment.
Mitt also has a tightrope to walk to avoid losing anymore of the Hispanic vote.
Notice that he did not say he approved of Obama's action and he did say that this is not the right way to go about solving the issue.
Stay on message and keep Obama on the defense over the economy.
We knew that it was only a matter of time b4 Mittens would find a way to sell out and lose the election.
Rubio's plan or at least one he is talking up with NBC to be broadcast on the "Sunday Morning" show.
Marco Rubio talks immigration, Dream Act, amnesty
Of his proposal Rubio said, "I think I've found significant support for it, both in my own party and hopefully with some Democrats, that allows us to address the issue of these kids in a humanitarian way, that allows us to recognize that what we want to do is give these kids a chance to get right what their parents got wrong, but not do it in a way that incentivizes people to do this in the future, and doesn't undermine our legacy as a nation of laws."
"Will your plan give amnesty?" asked O'Donnell.
"No, it's not an amnesty plan," Rubio replied. "The plan basically would award the kids who meet a certain criteria - they got here by a certain age, have lived here, graduated from high school, don't have a criminal record, want to go to college - they get what, in essence, is a student visa, and thereafter, a work visa.
"And after some period of time, probably 10 years, we would then allow them to access the immigration system just like any non-immigrant visa holder in the United States would. ... So they'd be no worse off than anybody else, but no better off, either. No special path. Just the same path as everyone else."
end snip
Romney/Rubio. Shamnesty II.
Nuke DC.
Withall due respect for Mr. Romney, this came at him pretty quick and he hasn't had sufficient time to go to Rove and other GOP-E members to find out where he stands for now.
The infirmative-action president must know his unconstitutional action will not survive a USSC challenge, but he knows how these RINOs will respond to the idea of amnesty for illegal aliens. Obama is doing this precisely to do severe damage to Romney with the conservative base.
For a guy who otherwise appears to be the epitome of incompetence, B.O. is executing superbly this high-hard political strategy.
Obama himself said so just last year: There are enough laws on the books by congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system. That for me to simply, through executive order, ignore those congressional mandates - that would not conform with my appropriate role as president.
This is the smart thing, IMHO. To do otherwise lets Obama control the framing and gets off-message.
>> he hasnt had sufficient time to go to Rove and other GOP-E members to find out where he stands for now...
That one's gonna leave a mark!
If the republican nominee for president does not stand against this outrage... then he and his party stand with it. It can be no other way. There is no middle ground and I know in my heart that jeb bush knew this was coming because his step brother blojob clinton told him.
He also didn't take a stand. Understanding he's a politician, that's also typical Mutt Romney.
Say the wrong thing now, Mittens and you've lost the base. Game over.
Not a masterstroke today by Obama but definitely a well timed torpedo hit amidships to the S.S. Myth Romney and the GOPE
No, these SOBs are just getting warmed up.
Exactly Romney was a sell out before he started selling.
Today we have finally seen the coming together as one our many tiered political system.
I see no differences in any politician in this United States today!
The one consuming fire that drives them is how can I get and keep my power and get more tomorrow.
" God forgive them for they know not what they do". I think that's the way it was said.
I think Romney missed a golden opportunity to flip Obama's amnesty for illegals gambit into an illegal abuse of power issue.
As it is, at best the Hispanic share of the total vote that Romney has a chance of winning is less than 3%, by opposing Obama's move without having to focus on the immigration argument directly, Romney could bring out from the base and anti-illegal moderates and independents more than the portion of that 3% that he could be at risk of losing.
"Well hell we may as well get behind Obama"
NEVER. Obama is infintitely worse and far more of a threat to our republic and individual freedoms than Romney/Rubio would ever be. They may not support conservative ideals to the extent we would like, but they are not anti-American and are not going to trample on the Constitution. Four more years of Obama and this country will not be recognizable as the shining light on the hill it once was. The next election is, in a very real sense, a choice between electing a new president or coronating a dictator. Take your pick.
So would a lot of the obama supporters on this forum.
"I think Romney missed a golden opportunity to flip Obamas amnesty for illegals gambit into an illegal abuse of power issue."
That would have been the smart thing to do.
"Hes waiting for the opinion polls to come out. Gutless indeed.'
Actually I perceive he is merely stating his strongly held beliefs. It is not gutless for a politician to hold a point of view and be consistent in articulating it. The good news is he is calling it as he sees it. Now voters can decide if they agree.
What folks need to ask themselves is what are they going to do to survive the next 4 years of Obama.
It is still possible that Obama will beat himself, but Romney sure as hell won't take him out.
The prime directive is to boot Obama out of the White House.
There is no upside for Romney to get into a debate with Obama over illegal immigration - the upside on that issue is all for Obama.
Romney wins and Obama loses when the daily debate is about the economy and jobs.
Obama will do anything to change the debate to other issues.
Romney needs to avoid being sidetracked from pounding Obama on the economy and jobs, jobs, jobs.
That Mitt!
He's a peach, LOL.
It looks like Republican Rep. Steve King and maybe some others will take Obama to task on that issue.
See this thread:
Rep. Steve King To Sue Obama Administration Over New Immigration Policy
God bless Rep. King.
I don't see how this does achieves that end. Mutt didn't even say he'd overturn the order. This may well make him no different from Obama, which is the chief criticism he bears among actual conservatives.
Yes, the debate needs to center on the economy. But Romney needs to multitask. He needs to establish real differences between himself and Obama and for someone who claims to be so hawkish on immigration, this would have been a great opportunity to capitalize on an issue that generates white-hot conservative support.
Instead, he gave us the finger. Again.
If you do not agree that the economy, unemployment and jobs are the issues that will win the election for Romney, not a debate with Obama over immigration please explain your logic.
Go back and read again. They are both election winners.
If so, it couldn't be against a nicer guy.
Nice, safe sounding sentiment, very reassuring. Now: LOOK AT ROMNEY'S RECORD.
They may not support conservative ideals to the extent we would like ...
LOL! Ya think???????
... but they are not anti-American and are not going to trample on the Constitution.
Certainly not! Of course not! Why, hush, who could even think of such a thing?!
Well ... unless you think that forcing businesses, including adoption agencies, wedding photographers, landlords, employers, not to mention Boy Scout troops and schools, to accomodate open homosexuals, punishing them if they refuse because discriminating against homosexuals is immoral, isn't trampling on the Constitution.
Or if you think having government dictate every aspect of a person or a business or a doctor's relationships with each other, isn't trampling on the Constitution. Or if you think appointing liberal judges to distort law's intent ...
.... or developing and implementing a "carbon tax" plan to prevent global warming, and virtually create a government stranglehold of food and energy production and consumption, well ...
.... now, come on, that's not really trampling on the Constitution, is it??? Nahhhhhhh ....
(er ... don't look now, but that's Romney's record. No, it's not propaganda or distorted or misrepresented, IT IS WHAT ROMNEY IS.)
Vote for a big government statist ... get big government statism. COUNT ON IT. As certainly as you count on the mail.
It is gut-wrenching to see how many people have not yet found the courage to REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE in this charade. They are rolling over to liberalism via nothing but fear. There are people here who are on the verge of casting their vote for a guy who repels them viscerally, a guy they know is a liberal-agenda guy, if a registered Republican, a guy anyone would peg as a Democrat if they didn't know his party. They're on the verge of actively promoting him to the President of the US for basically one reason: FEAR.
Hate is also mingled in with it, and resentment, and lust for for vengeance against Obama. For THOSE THINGS -- fear, hate, resentment, vengeance -- American conservatives and patriots are on the verge of voting against their better judgment and common sense.
Talk about flashing red warning sign that they're about to make a mistake.
All because Resistance Is Useless if Obama wins again, even if Congress has moved Right and Obama is more despised than ever. RESISTANCE IS USELESS ... MUST CHOOSE ROMNEY ...

Here it comes, another really, really BIG moon. A "super" full moon rises just about sunset Saturday, the first of three this summer.
Super-sizing the moon
Three perigee, or "super" full moons occur this summer - Saturday, Aug. 10 and Sept. 9.
On average a full moon occurs near perigee every 13 1/2 months.
Because the moon's orbit makes it change "size" daily, scientists first calculated the orbit by taking photographs and comparing measurements. Today they do it with radar and lasers.
Even though the moon appears larger on the horizon, the positioning makes it measure a little smaller.
Sources: NASA, Terry Richardson
How big? Well, about as big as the three that occurred last year - 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than usual. And frankly, not as large as the supermoon in August will be. That one will be "almost the biggest possible moon you could have," said College of Charleston astronomer Terry Richardson.
Now you're talking. Supermoons appear when the moon is at perigee, or a point closest to earth in its oval-shaped orbit, according to NASA. The moon on Aug. 10 will become full within an hour of making its closest approach to our planet, "arguably making it an extra-super moon," according to the NASA release.
Pretty exciting stuff, huh? Not so much. Most times, a perigee moon in the sky isn't noticeably larger unless you're looking for it. Of the three that occurred last year, only one was paid much attention.
When people are expecting a big moon, they tend to latch onto the "moon illusion," a not-so-completely-understood phenomenon that makes the moon appear larger as it rises and sets.
"I guarantee that some folks will think (the August moon) is the biggest they have even seen if they catch it rising over a distant horizon because the media will have told them to pay attention to this one," said Geoff Chester, of the U.S. Naval Observatory. But for astronomers, the occurrence just isn't special.
"It's kind of neat," Richardson said, mostly because it gets people interested in celestial mechanics.

Dr Luster is the BEST!!!I feel heard, cared for, and his diagnosing and referrals are always accurate. I can't say enough about this man. He is a Number 10!
Dr. Luster is nice and I feel he takes his time. His personnel in his office is rude. The office manager is very rude and could care less. No people skill what so ever. She is not willing to take responsibility for mistakes or misplace records. Also the wait is way to long, have waited an hour in the waiting room and an 1 1/2 in the room itself. I will never go back.
Dr. Luster has been my primary care for over 20 years and has done an exceptional job of overseeing my health care through several serious illnesses. His caring and thoroughness is second to none. I have referred countless people to him over the years and they all absolutely love him. I wouldn't think of entrusting my health to another primary care physician as long as Dr. Luster is practicing. His nurse practitioner is also great!

Another election season has blown into the Amarillo area, and those toadstools of politics - candidate yard signs - have popped up again in lawns around town.
A city ordinance passed late last year permits more and larger signs in people's yards than before, and they're appearing in clumps with small signs as well as big ones. But sign peddlers and planters alike credit the political times, more than the loosened restrictions, with the mushroom effect.
"I think since the 2000 election, when everything was so close, we saw a dramatic difference," said Jerri Slayton, sales representative for Baxter Lane Co., a local signmaking company.
"It became abundantly clear that your vote does count," Slayton said.
Even in the primary elections last spring, the sign business was inundated, she said.
It used to be that public corners and well-traveled roads were the main spots for conglomerations of big signs. The city prohibited residential display exceeding 4 square-feet of signage per yard.
Then in November, the planning and city commissions approved allowing 36 square-feet per yard, following a new state standard. That's opened the door to an assortment of combinations: one 4-foot-by-9-foot sign, three 3-by-4's, nine 2-by-2's and so forth.
And with those holds no longer barred, there's been a free-for-all of yard signs promoting candidates at all political levels, the presidential race, the senate race and the race for 108th district judge with the likes of George W. Bush, Kel Seliger and Kevin Isern on the GOP side and John Kerry, Elaine King Miller and Abe Lopez for the Democrats. Some have gotten a jump on the competition, while others are just gearing up.
The requests for Bush-Cheney signs have been 10-times greater than four years ago, said Mike Ussery, Randall County Republican Party chairman.
Six of those signs ended up in Carol Burnett's yard in the 1700 block of South Polk Street.
"The Democratic headquarters are catty-corner from me. That's not what motivated me to put them up - I always put up political signs ... But that might've motivated the 5-by-8 sign," Burnett said.
"And two, I thought maybe people could see it from the interstate, but I don't think they actually can."
The Democrats are getting in on the action, too. Party officials used proceeds from a chili, beans and cornbread fund-raiser Thursday to order promotional materials. Volunteers Saturday delivered several hundred Kerry-Edwards and other candidate signs to people who had requested them.
Becky Livingston put two Democratic signs - one for Kerry-Edwards and one for Lopez - in her yard near Eastridge Elementary School.
"I want my fellow Amarilloans to know that just because we're Texans, we don't have to support George Bush," she said. She didn't put up more signs in her yard, she said, because it's not a high-visibility spot and because "one gets the message out," she said.
Like Livingston, sign-stakers on both sides seem undeterred by reports that Texas and the Panhandle are gimmees for Bush.
For the Republicans, it seems that many don't like sitting on the sidelines.
"If we did nothing, (Bush) could win in Texas. But people like to be caught up in it. They want to be a part of it," Ussery said.
But the Democrats don't seem willing to concede the Bush cakewalk theory. As volunteer Jim Perkins put it, "We're looking to win."

The appropriate relationship between universities and society is difficult to understand and to manage. How can universities balance their various roles as educational institutions and sites of pure and applied research to maximize their value to society? Is the connection between industry and university research transparent and constructive? How has this relationship changed over time? All universities, including Saskatchewan's, are grappling, everyday, with these questions.
To advance this discussion, a working group composed of representatives from the Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy, the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan are planning a conference which will be held in Saskatoon on November 9-10, 2005. This conference will focus on the theme of how changes in the external environment – in particular, the demands created by the "new economy" with respect to research, technology transfer and training – have affected post-secondary institutions, and how universities are redefining or rearticulating their role as social actors.
Saskatchewan universities, like their counterparts across the county, have responded to external forces and generated new strategies for meeting the needs of local, national and global communities into the future. For example, they have explored government and industry partnerships in fields like agricultural biotechnology and energy; they have turned their attention to the potential for economic and cultural development in Aboriginal communities; they have supported and promoted research on environmental issues related to resource industries, water and northern ecosystems; and they have encouraged cultural and artistic activity in new forms and for new audiences.
This conference will encourage consideration and discussion of various analytical approaches to what is broadly termed "innovation", as well as draw on the experiences of universities and their partners inside and outside Saskatchewan as they adjust to a new environment. A series of commissioned papers, circulated to participants beforehand, will explore conceptual issues, and there will be opportunities for scholars, business and research leaders and representatives of community organizations to engage in debate and dialogue about these important issues.
The issues which the conference will examine – whether or how universities should reorder their priorities in order to accommodate new demands and pressures from the outside; how universities can maintain their autonomy while forging new kinds of links with government, industry and communities; how universities can find and build on a sense of place while continuing to meet national and international standards – are all significant ones for future policies concerning post-secondary education.
"One of our main goals is to encourage a vigorous exchange of views among participants coming to these issues from many different perspectives – from different parts of the country, from universities, from business, from government, from Aboriginal communities, from our towns, cities and farms," says Beth Bilson, of the College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan, who has been chairing the planning group. Bilson adds, "A post-conference publication of the papers and proceedings will capture the main themes of the conference, and allow us to build on these themes in future discussions."
Registration details will be available shortly. For additional information, please contact:

Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
robin scherbatsky :d
What on earth is this girl doing in Porn! She could be a Victoria Secret's model - absolutely stunning girl. She got some baaaad career advice.
I find it a bit sad how some commenters are suddenly starting to question the morality of porn, just because they find this one girl particularly attractive. What about all the other poor girls that get into this shit when they don't actually want to? Are they less human to you, less deserving of a normal career, than this one girl you find particularly hot? I think it's sad regardless of how attractive the girl is. In fact, it's almost sadder when she's less conventionally attractive, because she's possibly more likely to be self-destructive, have self-esteem issues, etc.
that the first time I ever seem prince not ruff housing a bitch
She's cute and beautiful, but she fucks like a log. No emotions, no feelings. The guy is better.

VANCOUVER - The symbolism could not have been plainer.
Igor Shpilband and Marina Zoueva climbed the steep steps from ice level to the exit, beaming.
They coached the top two couples after the original dance portion of the Olympic ice-dance competition Sunday night. They were poised to at least match the silver medal won by skaters they coached at Turin in 2006.
Minutes later, legendary coaches Gennadi Karponosov and Natalia Linichuk descended those same stairs at the Pacific Coliseum, smiling regretfully. Their top skaters, favored entering the games, stood far behind, in third and fourth place.
All of the coaches knew, even before last night, the ice-dancing guard had changed.

Situated on the ancient site of Thebes, on Luxor's West Bank, the Valley of Kings is the ancient burial ground of many of Egypt's New Kingdom rulers.
A truly impressive site! There, you will find Tutankhamen's tomb which was discovered almost intact in 1922 and the tomb of Ramses IV, among others. A ticket will allow you visiting 3 of the 63 tombs on site, except Tutankhamen's tomb, which requires an additional ticket. Although the tomb alone is worth a visit, you will have to visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo to see the treasures Tutankhamen was buried with.

Mountain Climber
After a Family Tragedy, John Edwards Set His Sights on Political Heights
It was an experience Edwards will cherish always, even if these days he's busy barnstorming across the country in search of votes for upcoming primaries. Nine months later, Wade, by then 16, was killed in a car accident when a gust of wind overturned his Jeep as he drove to the family beach house on the North Carolina coast. Devastated, Edwards took a hard look at his own life, eventually giving up a lucrative law practice to run for the U.S. Senate—just as Wade had always urged him to do. Today he keeps the boy's memory close by pinning his son's Outward Bound mountaineering button to his lapel every day. "The pain never goes away," he says.
Not that Edwards, who is locked in a two-way race with front-runner John Kerry in his quest for the Democratic nomination, ever lets sadness show on the stump. Possessed of boyish looks and southern charm, he has earned a reputation as a relentlessly upbeat politician who, with his wife, Elizabeth, 54, a former lawyer, sometimes leads staffers on his campaign bus in spirited renditions of "Surrey with the Fringe on Top." Edwards even keeps smiling while lacing into the Bush Administration for creating "two Americas"—one for the rich, he says, and the other for those struggling to hang on. No matter what happens in the primaries, Washington watchers say, he is a rising political star with populist appeal. "He has a Clinton-like ability to connect with people," says former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart. "They like him—that counts for a lot."
The oldest of three children of a textile-mill worker who had to take out a $50 loan to pay the hospital bill for his son's birth, Edwards grew up in a series of small towns before settling in Robbins, N.C., where he became interested in the law by watching Perry Mason on TV. The first member of his family to attend college, he met his future wife, Elizabeth Anania, a fellow student at the University of North Carolina law school, in 1975. "She was a star: beautiful, vivacious and intensely intellectual," says her brother Jay Anania, a film professor at New York University. Although somewhat intimidated, Edwards mustered the courage to ask Elizabeth to a dance at the local Holiday Inn—after explaining he couldn't afford to buy her dinner. When the pair wed two years later, they were still pinching pennies. "I got an $11 gold wedding ring," says Elizabeth, who wears it to this day.
The couple settled in Raleigh, where they raised Wade and Cate, now 21, a senior at Princeton. In time, Edwards became one of the best-known lawyers in the state. Critics called his dramatic appeals to juries manipulative, but he won millions for personal injury and medical malpractice victims. Then, Wade's death changed everything. "Afterwards we felt we could all sit on our hands or do something," says Elizabeth. Not only did John run—successfully—for Senate, Elizabeth undertook an equally daunting challenge. She quit practicing law and, at age 48, gave birth to Emma Claire, 5, and later Jack, 3, with the help of fertility treatments. "Elizabeth is determined," says her friend and neighbor Ellan Maynard. As is her husband. "Campaigning is similar to climbing a mountain," says Edwards, who gets by on 10 Diet Cokes a day and as little as four hours' sleep. "You keep fighting through obstacles." If he makes it to the top, he says he'll have his old climbing partner to thank. "I think about him all the time," Edwards says of Wade. "Maybe 50 times a day."

.357 Pistol
Tools and Technologies
Handguns: Autoloaders
> .357 Pistol
December 2, 2008, 08:01 PM
I've heard that the .357 performs better than either the .45 ACP or 9mm, but it's size makes it too awkward for autoloaders. Is that true?

I have never had an opportunity to shoot either a Coonan or Desert Eagle .357 Magnum but they do look rather awkward. The Coonan was supposedly a fairly well made pistol.
The Lone Haranguer
December 2, 2008, 08:39 PM
If you're referring to the .357 Magnum revolver cartridge (not the .357 SIG autoloader cartridge), the length of the round does necessarily make for a rather large and awkward grip. The biggest problem, however, is getting the long rimmed cartridge to feed in an autoloading action.
December 2, 2008, 09:15 PM
I wouldn't say the 357 Magnum performs better absolutely. It's a great round, but it also tends to have lots of muzzle flash and blast.
Keep in mind that the powder, bullet, and barrel length also will have a great deal to do with performance. For example, I'd take a good, hot 45 hollowpoint over 357 FMJ practice ammo.
December 2, 2008, 10:54 PM
The reason why a 357 magnum or 38 special autoloader doesn't work well is because of the rimmed case.
December 3, 2008, 04:30 AM
The rimmed case may have something to do with it, but the folks that make .22lr autoloaders seem to have solved that problem. Maybe with a larger cartridge the grip angle becomes too severe?
December 3, 2008, 12:45 PM
It has more to do with the overall length of the .357 cartridge then the rimmed case.
The largest handgun grip that is comfortable for most folks is designed for the .45 ACP/.38 Super/10mm size rounds.
They all run just a tad over 1 1/4" long.
The .357 Mag measures closer to 1.60" and that makes for a very large grip & gun for most people with normal size hands.
December 3, 2008, 02:17 PM
Sound: Low boom compared to sharp crack. Easier to hear after shooting without ear protection in a self defense situation.
Mass: Big heavy bullet with momentum if it doesn't expand.
.357 is not a good choice in an auto for all the reasons rcmodel gave.
December 3, 2008, 02:22 PM
I must say that my sons Desert Eagle .357 Mag is one of the most accurate, fun, long range handguns I have shot.
No recoil, and a hedge-apple doesn't stand a chance at 100 yards!
On the otherhand, it should have came with trail wheels & a trailer hitch just to haul it out to the range.
Totally impractical for much of anything a handgun is used for, except shooting hedge-balls at 100 yards.
December 3, 2008, 02:24 PM
Yep, too D*** big. ;)

This answer was rated:
I have been taking zyprexa for the better part of 8 years for severe sleep deprivation; it works well, but I feel that I need to go off the medicine now. I hadn't realized that it was an anti-psychotic drug when I was first prescribed it by my general physician for sleep. I have seen, but cannot find now, a schedule for going off the medication. Can you help me with this? Thank you.

Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Seeking expert counseling is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Dear friend,
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
I believe that I can help you.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
I understand that you do not want to take this powerful antipsychotic any longer, and it was probably a bad choice to prescribe it to you.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Discontinuing this drug, even at a tiny level of just a few percent reduction each weak can still give very strong negative symptoms which often cannot be undone by just increasing the dose back up to where it was before.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
There are other methods that might work in which a milder antipsychotic, usually Seroquel, is introduced as you wean.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Do not attempt this yourself. There is much to much negative anecdotal evidence about terrible discontinuations symptoms when withdrawing even slowly.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Your body is habituated to this drug now, and it might be safer to stay on it then to withdraw.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
I know you are looking for a "magic formula" but there is not one. This is a potentially risky process and you should rely only on a psychiatrist who specializes in withdrawal.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
I would like you to read some of these threads from users of Zyprexa (olanzepine)and read about their experiences. This will give you valuable insight into what is involved here. Read the first one and then click on the succeeding threads (links) in the column below.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
According to The British National Formulary (which studies and documents and makes recommendations about drugs) they recommend a gradual withdrawal when discontinuing anti-psychotic treatment to avoid acute withdrawal syndrome or rapid relapse.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
However, according to some sources, and cited in Wikipedia, "Due to compensatory changes at dopamine, serotonin, adrenergic and histamine receptor sites in the central nervous system, withdrawal symptoms can occur during abrupt or over-rapid reduction in dosage. However, despite increasing demand for safe and effective antipsychotic withdrawal protocols or dose-reduction schedules, NO SPECIFIC GUIDELINES WITH PROVEN SAFETY AND EFFICACY ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE." The capital letters are mine.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
I urge you NOT to reduce your dosage on your own. Rather, you have two choices: first, continue taking the drug if it is not giving you negative side effects; second, find a psychiatric withdrawal expert who will probably start you on another, milder antipsychotic before he starts to wean you, and then wean from the Zyprexa according to his slow schedule, and then from the other antipsychotic. That is probably how the doctor will do it.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
I am sorry that I cannot give you an easy way out, but only a choice between staying on the meds or taking a risk of getting off of them and possibly having a difficult time of it.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Remember that there is no guaranteed and proven safe method to withdraw.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
I wish you great success and shall keep you in my prayers.
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Warm regards,
Elliott, LPCC, NCC :
Elliott, MAE, LPCC, NCC, CCMHC
I thank you for your information, but it certainly is not what I had hoped. I had no idea this was such a dangerous type drug. I am no further along in my quest now than I was; I rather feel that I didn't get my $25 worth of answer to actually help me. You decide if I should pay or not; a refund would be appreciated.I do not see where to go to read others experiences...can you give me that link? Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX

The artwork was destroyed by the climate change of which the artist had long warned.
"Important," artist Robyn O'Neil tweeted last Wednesday. "Remember that piece I worked on for 2 years? HELL. The one that almost killed me? Well, it got ruined in the hurricane. So if I kind of disappear and don't respond to things for a while, please understand. Can't quite get my head around this."
HELL was O'Neil's latest magnum opus, a roughly seven-feet-by-fourteen-feet triptych born from pencil and 35,000 separate collage elements. According to Susan Inglett Gallery, the piece included 65,000 figures. O'Neil's oeuvre is rich with such ambitious, large-scale graphite works: Earlier this year the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth acquired her These Final Hours Embrace At Last; This Is Our Ending, This Is Our Past (2007). (O'Neil came onto Episode No. 38 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast to talk about that piece.) Her masterpiece may be the 12-foot-wide Staring into the blankness, they fell in order to begin (2008, below). Her work is also in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Dallas Museum of Art and the MFA Houston.
Many of O'Neil's massive drawings play with the paradox of weather: It's beautiful, dramatic and it fascinates us, but its power makes us small and can even destroy us. O'Neil has long been fascinated by weather and by the way artists have engaged it. "I think it was the mere mention of wind in Courbet's painting [The Gust of Wind at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston] that did it for me," O'Neil told me in 2008. "I was reading a fabulous book called "Defining the Wind" by Scott Huler. It's basically a long essay on how the Beaufort Scale, and wind in general, is poetry. Such a great sentiment. I also loved the quote in the beginning from Hemingway (writing to John Dos Passos): 'Remember to get the weather in your goddamned book — weather is very important.' I couldn't agree more."
O'Neil's work has never been explicitly about climate change per se, but climate change surrounded the work like fog, an obvious explanation for the extraordinary power of the natural forces O'Neil portrayed again and again. Ironically, HELL feels like a bookend, the termination of that work, a piece that serves up our Boschian reward for ignoring the danger.
And now HELL is gone, extant only as a JPEG'd memory, a victim of a late-season hurricane that may be related to the changes in weather wrought by climate change. Even worse: HELL is just one of hundreds — thousands? — of artworks stored in New York galleries and studios that were destroyed or damaged by water that Sandy pushed into Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Every day for the last week the New York art media has had new photographs and stories documenting the destruction of contemporary cultural heritage — and not just artworks, but archives too. More than a week after Sandy hit New York, it's become clear that Sandy has created what will eventually be considered empty spots in art history.
Whether art was destroyed in war or by weather or by fire, 'lost' art and archival material is something with which art history is accustomed to dealing. For example: You can't flip through a monograph about Gustav Klimt without wincing when you get to the black-and-white pictures of the University paintings, the major murals destroyed at the end of World War II, or Leda, probably the most sexually suggestive painting of early modernism. Today they exist only as photographs.
But at least a representation of them exists in some form, however comparatively minor, at least we can see something of what they looked like, at least we have a thin window into understanding how they were impacted by the art that came before and how they impacted the art that came next. Something is better than a void.
Which brings us to the post-Sandy recovery. While many artworks and much archival material has been destroyed by Sandy, the technology to save materials related to them exists: Here's hoping someone — the New York Foundation for the Arts? The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts? — provides funding to start a digital archive that will preserve whatever we can of art and archival material destroyed by Sandy. It could be something as simple and as low-cost as a crowd-sourced wiki. Or it could be as lavishly produced as the Tate's Gallery of Lost Art.
Either way, it won't be long before critics and historians find it mighty useful. And while it's no substitute for actual artwork, perhaps such an archive would provide some solace to artists who fear Sandy destroyed the future memories of their work.

Officials differ on spending windfall
March 30, 2013
The auditor wants to pay down debt, the mayor wants to bolster the capital improvements fund and Utilities Commission members want included in further discussions on what to do with a $1....
I do have a couple questions (and someone, please, answer without much side commentary if you can): WHY do we have loans that we can't pay down early or refinance? Isn't that rule #1 when you buy a house, etc--make sure you can pay it off early? Was there some incentive like a lower interest rate to do it that way? Otherwise, who did it and with whose approval? Then, what is the "Home Depot Tax Increment Finance loan"? And while the paper said it is "costing the city an increasing amount of money from the general fund each year because the payments from the affected businesses aren't enough to cover the yearly payment", I'm not understanding what that means. We took a loan to give a tax break elsewhere(??), and what we're being repaid is less than what we are having to pay? Why are we having to pay more on a loan we took to give as a loan to someone else than we are receiving back from them? Who decided that one? What went wrong? Will it get fixed?

Not that we get a vote, but I also would agree with Ms. Brothers as it seems the most financially sound plan given. (Mr. Goll's "I should get the money" doesn't even count as a plan in my book.)

Bug says: "Enlighten me concerned .
You seem to have a negiative answer to everything"
Do you mean a negative answer like the city auditor has since I agreed with her?? You must think she has negative answers also right?? I agreed with her because I thought she gave them sound financial advise. Not because it was her or that I was against anyone that had a different ideas. Unlike those that have to put their names to comments so they can be praised of men, I believe we should share ideas on here and it shouldn't matter who the idea came from. If it is a good idea it is a good idea. Instead of attacking people why don't you try to give logical support for or against others ideas.
Because someone does not agree with every half baked idea that comes down the pike does not make them negative.

Government agencies are non profit. It is against the law for any ENTITY of Government to have a surplus of money.

I don't know anything about an illegal surplus of money. I'm just saying that, in general, individuals, families and government agencies would be better off by only spending within their means, out of free and clear money after all bills are paid. That way there's no need to go into debt.

Ladybug What is negative about saying you should pay off debts that are costing you more in interest than you could get if you put the money into any kind of savings that would pay you less than you what you are paying in interest on the loan. Government entities are by law limited on the places they can save public money. It must be placed in the more secure investments which always pay a lower rate of return.

"Like the water dept does with it's 10+million"
You mean the illegal surplus of money that belongs to the residents of this city? That money?

Just pay off the debts, or at least as much of them as possible. The borrower is slave to the lender. Why is it that all governments play footsy with the banks? I'll never borrow money again, yet my tax dollars go into bottomless pits of overspending and loan payments. Fixing streets or roofs is great, but it should be with surplus money.

Pay off the higher interest loans. Borrow money if needed. We'll never 3.5 % again and invest the balance. Like the water dept does with it's 10+million,.

Pay 3.5% and get what .25? Now there is a plan.
6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Here we have an opportunity - in an environment where money can be borrowed at 3.5% only pay off loans that must be paid off because they are residual high-interest loans. The money would be better set aside to generate interest in a secure fund. This would benefit us for generations, instead of being a one-time capital infusion.

Apply it to debt and capital improvements. While I would like to see it all go to capital improvements and fixing our streets, we have to realize that debt is not good for financial stability. Pay off the big bill and use the rest to fix the streets (not just a patch jobs) Debt payments and interest on those debts is part of the reason why the city had to change the capital improvements split to 15%. Reduce the spending and the capital improvement split can be increased. A portion should also go to law enforcement to help stop some of the crime that has been increasing over the last few years. Be responsible with this money and don't waste it. I think the auditor is on the right track for the long range financial well being of the city. Only don't go racking up more debt once this is paid off. Live within your means and the city will be better off for it.

Why would the water dept. need it back? The rates are adjusted for the city slush fund, not actual costs. Why do you think the city takes money to prop up other entities as they continues to fail? With the way they run it, there is no need for messy tax increases, just bump your bill.

SUNY Upstate Medical University observes the Great American Smokeout
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – In observance of the Great American Smokeout, Nov. 18, SUNY Upstate Medical University, the region's largest employer, will ask all employees, students and visitors to its campus, including University Hospital, to refrain voluntarily from smoking anywhere on its grounds. Smoking currently is only prohibited indoors. More than 7,000 individuals a day come in contact with the campus.
"It is fitting that SUNY Upstate Medical University, an academic medical center that is dedicated to improving health, observe this day across campus," said SUNY Upstate President Gregory L. Eastwood, M.D. "Our clinicians see firsthand the ravages of smoking and what it does to the human body and as educators we must be committed to informing our communities about the dangers of smoking."
"But this day is also a day to reach out to smokers and to understand better how difficult this addiction is to break," Eastwood said. "We must support smokers who are attempting to quit and offer them encouragement and access to our experts who can help them break the habit."
Eastwood announced earlier this year that SUNY Upstate is working toward the goal of becoming a completely smoke free campus by August 2005.
SUNY Upstate's Great American Smokeout observance also features various presentations on smoking-related issues and health screening tests.

Yeh! I do. Are you coming to Oxford too then?(Original post by RadiantJewel)
Hey! Do you have Miss Johnson then? So do I. I think the supervisor's college does not impact the college we get? Also, I think it is safe to assume we got our preferred option though it was (so far) not indicated anywhere!
Ahh thanks, that's good to know! I'm not holding out any hope for a scholarship or anything, so unless its the case that students get allocated to colleges that the faculty members are in, I guess I could end up wherever! I'm just dying to find out now...(Original post by brownbear88)
Yes I'm on the MSt course now. You will definitely be allocated your first choice option, no worries there. I even know a couple of people who switched in the first two weeks and there were no problems. As far as college allocation, there is no link with your supervisor so you could end up anywhere(unless you get a scholarship at your first choice college).

For what it's worth, I had this same decision to make between the Courtauld and Oxford last year. Despite the Courtauld's leading position in art history, I chose the latter for various reasons (the course was slightly more to my liking, friendly department, etc). I'm very happy with the decision I made, but there are great things to be said for both. There is a big difference between the London and Oxford lifestyle, so do take that into account when making your decisions. Congrats to everyone with offers already!
I'm not in Alastair's module but know others who are, and have had seminars with him. He is a great supervisor, always happy to go the extra mile and super laid back.

hey! good to meet you too. Have you come across anyone else coming for the MSt yet? &can I ask if you've heard from your college? I'm so excited to see where I'm going!

Yeh i think it will, i'm just being impatient. I picked Balliol because it looked like it had good scholarships, but i'm not optimistic about that so we'll see. Are you coming straight from undergrad or have you graduated already?
Offline0ReputationRep:(Original post by MissJ)
Hi, thanks for the information It's really great to know someone who's actually on the course! And I'm just so curious about what the programme is like. Are the courses very intensive and do they cover a wide range of materials? how's the student community/learning environment there? sorry that i just throw these questions at you but i'm really eager to hear people talk more about it and make my decision easier! ...
(Original post by brownbear88)
I wouldn't worry about intensity. There's quite a bit of reading each week, as you'd expect, as well as research seminars, presentations and the theory and option classes. There's more freedom as a postgrad, and it helps to be pro-active and organised about your own work as you're a bit more on your own (in a good way). Everyone in my course is great and we socialise much more than I did as an undergrad with other art historians. Do visit the department if you can, Christine and Rachel in the art history office would be happy to show you around I'm sure.
Hello to all, I was just wondering if anyone has applied to Cambridge MPhil History of Art for 2012 entry? An if so, has anyone received any kind of reply? Thank you guys
Hi all, don't know if anyone can help me, but am applying for MA in history of art next term. I'm thinking obviously Oxford, Courtauld and possibly Cambridge. If anyone has been accepted to either of those uni's can you tell me what they expect in results? I know the admission websites say high 2:1, but do in reality do they only look at firsts?
I'm on track for a high 2:1/low first but let myself down doing Italian in 2nd year, so may end up with mid 2:1. Just wondered what my chances are!! I've got loads of work experience tho and have been awarded a research grant, which I suppose helps with the application!
Thanks x
Hi ruthsshoes, I had offers from Oxford and the Courtauld which both asked for a result in the top third of an upper second class honours (i.e. 67 and above) - I was predicted a first but had high 2:1's in first and second year yet I got in, so I don't think they only look at firsts.
I've just confirmed my place at Oxford - is anyone else doing the Women, Art and Culture in Early Modern Europe special option/is anyone going to Oriel college? So excited!
Hope everyone's exams went well!

I'm thinking of applying for the MA History of Art at UCL and Courtauld. However, I'm not from an art history background - I'm studying political theory at the moment!
I emailed UCL and Courtauld and both told me I could apply for the PG Diploma but I don't have the money for that and I'm not really interested either.
Is there any chance of getting in without a degree in History of Art?
I applied without a BA in History of Art (I studied Fine Art for BA), I have a confirmed place for the MA History of Art program at the Courtauld this year.
I think not having a background in HoA can put you at a slight disadvantage at first sight, however I believe if you can communicate your enthusiasm for the subject in your personal statement and demonstrate how a background in another academic field can be a strength through your writing sample, it's certainly possible. Possible enough to warrant submitting an application at the very least.
good luck!
I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread for this question but I was just wondering to any students that have already taken the MA at Courtauld how often you go into the department for classes and study? I'm starting this September and currently looking at housing and train passes etc! I was also wondering what the core course entails? And if you think it's worth keeping my Undergraduate History of Art lecture notes etc. Thanks x
Hi everyone! I am going to be applying to History of Art MA programmes for 2014/15. Any advice from past/current applicants and future applicant would be greatly appreciated. Here is a thread I started for those applying for 2014/15:

Brantley Partin, the new director of the Wayne County Museum, discusses plans for the museum as he stands in front of an exhibit. Partin, a Goldsboro native, previously worked at a Victorian home in Deadwood, S.D.
Brantley Partin knows the story of the Battle of Goldsborough Bridge. He knows where Union Gen. William Sherman stayed during his march through Wayne County. But on the scale of local history, Partin said Sherman's March isn't as important...

I read with interest the article by McCue and Cohen1 that was recently published in the ARCHIVES and believe there is a grave danger of misinterpreting the recorded comments of Freud and Schur in the current discourse on physician-assisted suicide. The historical facts warrant careful examination.
First, published sources debate the actual dosage and frequency of morphine that Freud received.2 Regardless of whether Freud was given 2 or 3 cg of morphine and whether the dose was repeated once (12 hours later) or twice, 36 hours unfolded before Freud subsequently died. This period strongly suggests that Freud died as a result of his disease process and not from receiving morphine. It is the size of the dose and the rate of the subsequent increase that determines whether morphine causes or hastens death. In pain management, a gradual dosage escalation of 50% to 100% is the usual practice, although substantially higher increases may be well tolerated by patients who are not new to the drug.3 Freud received what was then the common dosage of morphine given to relieve the pain of acute myocardial infarction.

WASHINGTON - When Ruben Amaro Jr. signed Delmon Young to play a position he had not played in six years, the general manager stood in the middle of the Phillies clubhouse on a Tuesday afternoon in January and proclaimed: "Ideally, he'd be playing right field every day."
The experiment ended in the afternoon before the team's 115th game, a 9-2 loss to the Nationals, when Young was designated for assignment to clear space for Casper Wells, who joined his fifth team in six months. The transaction was an indictment of how Amaro failed in constructing one of his corner outfield spots.

MASSILLON - Coming into the Division IV regional final against Berlin Hiland, the Maplewood Rockets knew that it would take a perfect performance to beat the second ranked team in the state.
The Rockets fell short of that flawless performance, losing to the Hawks at Massillon Perry High School, 58-41.
"We knew their reputation," Yoder said. "We knew what kind of team they were like, and we knew we had to play an almost perfect game to beat them.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / Michael Taylor
From left, Maplewood's Brooke Dawson, Ryley Urchek, Morgan Hansel, Allison Bell and Amanda Henderlight, react in the final minutes of Saturday night's regional final game against Berlin Hiland. The Rockets lost, 58-41.
"Unfortunately, we didn't play a perfect game, but we played extremely hard and did everything we could."
The Rockets (22-6) gave Berlin Hiland (25-3) a scare midway through the third quarter.
After the Hawks amassed a 12-point halftime lead, Maplewood came out on fire from beyond the arc. The Rockets' Allison Bell, Miranda Sloan and Amanda Henderlight hit three 3-pointers in the half and used them to go on a 16-6 run that made it a 30-26 with under 4 minutes remaining.
Despite Maplewood's struggles in the first half (33.3 percent shooting and 14 turnovers), Berlin Hiland coach Dave Schlabach expected the Rockets to come out of the gates firing in the third.
"(Maplewood's) here for a reason," Schlabach said. "We thought they were a good team, we liked how they battle. It didn't surprise us. We felt like we were going to have to continue to play."
As if on cue, the Hawks' 3-point shooting lit up Maplewood again, putting away the game for good.
Berlin Hiland's Megan Beachy drained a 3 on the next possession to curb Maplewood's momentum, and after a couple of 3-pointers by Regina Hochstetler and Kendra Schlabach, the Hawks' lead returned to double digits.
The Hawks shot 6 of 18 from beyond the arc.
"They wouldn't miss a 3-point shot," Yoder said. "Every time we left them open it was going in. When they have an opportunity to score, they're going to do it. Unfortunately, we gave them those opportunities a little too often."
Following Berlin Hiland's 3-point barrage late in the third quarter, Maplewood struggled once again offensively, missing its next four shots and turning the ball over at a higher frequency.
Overall, the Rockets committed 22 turnovers in the game.
"We felt that we were making the comeback," Bell said. "We picked up the intensity. We knew it was going to be a game, but a couple of things didn't go our way. Unfortunately, it cost us the game."
Once the game ended, Yoder said the players should be proud of their accomplishments, as the Rockets made their first regional in program history and were one game away from playing in Columbus.
"They got nothing to be ashamed about," Yoder said. "They should be proud when they walk out of the locker room and hold their heads up high because they did make history this year."
Bell, who became the program's all-time leading scorer and became the first player in the program's history to break 1,000 career points, reiterated her coach's words after the game. She, along with Henderlight and Kendra Garlock, are the team's three graduating seniors.
Bell finished the season with 10 points against Hiland. Teammate Miranda Sloan added 11 and Brooke Dawson had a team-high 12.
"Coming in here, I didn't expect my senior year to go like it did, but it's amazing," Bell said. "It's an amazing feeling to know that we made it history and I made history myself. I'm so proud of these girls."

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees can do nothing but laugh at the NFL's random drug-testing system after what happened this past week.
The 35-year-old said on Friday that he would like to play football for 10 more years, via NFL.com's Albert Breer:
No doubt. There's no question. I'm not getting ahead myself, like it's a pipe dream, at 45. I understand the challenges that come along with that. But why not? If I can stay healthy, and I'm having fun and playing at a high level, why wouldn't I wanna do that? The biggest challenge is physically, the maintenance, the recovery, the way you train. You gotta hope that you stay healthy, but why not?
In what may have been an odd coincidence, Brees was randomly drug tested over the weekend:
On Friday I said I thought I could play til age 45. I have been "randomly" selected for drug tests the last 2 days. What's up with that! Lol— Drew Brees (@drewbrees) July 27, 2014
At least the veteran quarterback was able to get a good laugh out of the timing.
This isn't the first time that the NFL has had suspicious timing with a "random" drug test in the past year. Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee was randomly tested after making a big hit during a game last season.
