Into the Unknown
You probably have a lot of questions. I don't have a lot of answers.
How does Nebraska come out and have the worst performance of the Bo Pelini era? How can it happen with a group of 29 seniors who were this close to a pair of conference titles in 2009 and 2010? How did it happen against the third-place team in the Leaders Division during a down year overall for the Big Ten?
Many will say that last one is the most painful question. On paper, Nebraska may never have an "easier road" to a conference title. But the 70-31 beatdown Wisconsin put on Nebraska Saturday night showed there is no such thing as an easy conference title. Even in the much beleaguered Big Ten. Even against a team that was .500 in conference play.
Even when almost everybody thought Nebraska was going to win.
"When you play the way we did, I don't have an answer for that," Pelini said. "I don't. Unfortunately."
That's an alarming quote. Things don't end well when the guy who's supposed to have the answers doesn't have the answers. That's the coaching game.
But Pelini doesn't have to have those answers minutes after the worst loss of his career. He does have to have them eventually, however.
When will they come? Another unanswerable.
That's the bigger loss. Prior to the game, Nebraska looked like it was close to being back. This team was making a case for being Pelini's best. When you looked at next year's schedule and put at least a conference title on the 2012 resume, the Huskers were poised to start next year in the top 10 with good odds to be back in Indianapolis a year from now. Nebraska was knocking at the door of the nation's elite and Wisconsin opened it just long enough for the Huskers to get a foot in before slamming it in their face.
The Badgers and Bret Bielema are headed to their third straight Rose Bowl. Pelini is headed back to Lincoln with an 0-3 record in conference championship games and plenty of time for reflection.
"It's not indicative of the foundation of this program," Pelini said of the loss.
What is it indicative of then? Throw that one on the pile of questions accumulating over there in the corner.
Nebraska was favored in this game. That fact will be used to reinforce the idea that Nebraska under Pelini struggles to deal with success. The conventional wisdom is that the Huskers are good with their backs against the wall.
But that's the easy part. From a motivation standpoint, nothing's as simple as saying nobody believes in you. So easy, in fact, that coaches will go to great lengths to manufacture that perception.
The hard part is when things start to snowball and you're asked to examine your belief in yourself. Nebraska is still figuring that part out.
Despite what will be and has been said in the aftermath of this latest loss, the people in Nebraska still believe in Nebraska. When I got down to the field with just under five minutes remaining, the number of Husker fans who were still in their seats shocked me. Some had left early, but many were still there. Slouched and despondent, yes, but still there.
That's not an answer to any of Nebraska's newest round of on-field questions, but it's what the Huskers have to build on right now. Maybe it's time to retire the "nobody believes in us" card. Nebraska football has been defined by the uncommon amount of belief surrounding the program.
That's being tested, again, but it always comes back. Play up that angle. There are thousands of people, no matter where the team goes, that believe in Nebraska football.
There can't be better motivation than that. Any of the many answers everyone is searching for right now should start there.

Ok, I'm in Little Rock and not NW AR but someone had to bump this. I know there are guys up your way....
April 26, 2004, 11:13 PM
Sure. It should probably be sometime in the middle of May.
April 27, 2004, 02:10 PM
I'm between Fort Smith and Fayetteville.
I'm also a member of the Old Fort Gun Club and can take nonmembers on one free visit to the club.
The one free visit applies to only people who live 50 miles or less from Fort Smith.
If you live 50 miles or more, you get unlimited free visits.
Or, we could go somewhere else, if you like.
April 27, 2004, 06:18 PM
Thanks for the bump, Ed.
I've no problem with driving down that way, Hillbilly. Lets see how many of us reply and see what the concensus is.
May 20, 2004, 06:55 PM
Just wanted to say Hello. I'm a new member...just found the site....and found this thread. I live about 20 miles West of Ft.Smith and would like to meet ya'll for some shootin or just a get togather. Let me know if this sounds good. Keith
May 20, 2004, 09:03 PM
Welcome aboard keppler.
You gents have any ideas on dates, places, and times? Any Saturday or early Sundays are good for me...
May 20, 2004, 10:09 PM
I'm pretty easy myself. My only problem would be a range for us to shoot on. As far as a day goes...any day will work.
Is anybody going to gun show in Ft.Smith this weekend? I useually go just to take in the sights and drool a lot.
May 21, 2004, 07:33 AM
Depends on what we want to do.
If just handguns, then Sturms in Springdale or Ozark Sportsman in Tontitown would be good, indoor ranges that would cost a little cash to use.
If we want to really add rifles into the mix, the Old Fort Gun Club down here in Fort Smith does have a 300 yard rifle range. And Sundays would be best, as Saturdays are when all the organized club activities happen at OFGC.
Again, if you live within 50 miles of OFGC I can get you in free once.
If you live farther than 50 miles, I can get you in on unlimited free visits.
Are there any outdoor rifle ranges farther north?
I know about the indoor rifle ranges at both Sturms and Tontitown, but I just don't like shooting down a 100 yard pipe at Sturms or only 35 yards at Tontitown.
May 21, 2004, 10:03 AM
There is a free public 100 yard rifle/pistol range outside of Rogers, near War Eagle Mill, I forget the highway- 12 maybe? Been there several several times, and it is a good range. The only problem with it is that the target stands at 25 yard intervals, long way for pistols. If there are other people wishing to shoot pistols its not uncommon for prople to walk up to the stands and shoot from a closer distance. The park rangers practice this way- after the range has been called cold, of course.
Really not a bad range at all, especially for the price. I was told that the trap will withstand .50bmg fire. And the firing line is covered as well.
May 21, 2004, 02:45 PM
I've shot on that range before, Maurice.
I've got good family friends who are actually more like family than friends who have a lake cabin not more than two miles from that range.
Intersection of Highway 12 and 303, isn't it?
Easy to remember 303 in conjunction with a range.
That sounds fine to me.
What do the rest of y'all think?
May 22, 2004, 12:02 AM
Sounds good to me. I just got back from there today. I had a wonderful time, as I post here (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?threadid=83178).
Do we have a date & time for this yet? I suppose Thursdays and Fridays are out for everyone?

The review article by Amabile and Spencer1 on medications that should be avoided in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) was exceptionally well written and informative. However, the authors did not include the anti–tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs etanercept and infliximab among the anti-inflammatory medications that should be avoided in patients with CHF. Although these drugs were initially examined as a possible treatment for CHF, studies have shown that they may worsen the clinical condition of patients with heart failure. In the Anti-TNF Therapy Against Congestive Heart Failure (ATTACH) trial, the combined risk of death from any cause or hospitalization for heart failure was significantly increased among the group of patients randomized to 10 mg/kg of infliximab.2 The US Food and Drug Administration's MedWatch program receives mandatory postmarketing reports of adverse events from manufacturers and voluntary reports from health professionals, consumers, and others. Kwon et al3 described 47 patients from the MedWatch program database who developed new or worsening CHF while taking anti-TNF agents. Although these were only case reports, in 9 of 10 younger patients in whom heart failure developed after receiving TNF antagonists, resolution or improvement was noted after the discontinuation of the TNF antagonist and the addition of heart failure therapy, suggesting a link between the anti-TNF drug and CHF. Warnings about the use of anti-TNF drugs in patients with CHF are prominently featured in prescription information about the drugs.4 Given the findings in the ATTACH trial, it is recommended that doses of infliximab greater than 5 mg/kg should not be given at all to patients with CHF, and drug labeling for both infliximab and etanercept indicates that these drugs should be used with caution in patients with CHF.4

The unprecedented season of Stephen Curry
Wardell Stephen Curry isn't normal.
Perhaps this is an obvious statement, figuratively speaking. But Curry, quite literally, is doing things on the court the NBA has never seen. As Gregg Popovich said recently, watching Steph play can put one in a trance.
"I was almost in a mesmerized state in our last game at Golden State watching Curry shoot," he said prior to tip of Game 2 in the Spurs' first-round series against the Lakers. "I was just watching. It was like playing against Michael Jordan. I was watching Curry make shots I couldn't believe anybody could make."
And really there's a good reason for that, because at this rate, nobody has made the types of shots Curry has. Of the 551 instances in league history in which a player has scored at least 22.9 points per game for an entire season (Curry's 2012-13 average), Steph stands alone as one of the most prolific shooters ever.
Basketball teams at every level are comprised of players who fulfill different roles to complete the group. Very basically, there are scorers, facilitators, rebounders and defenders, obviously among other, more specific skill sets. Clearly, the guys who can blend these talents are the ones who demand a higher premium, but the ability to efficiently shoot the basketball from the 3-point line has become one of the most valuable commodities within any given gameplan, especially with advanced metrics outlining just how crucial these shots are.
But when you think about the great 3-point shooters in league history, you mostly recall how they perfected that specific craft, many times at the expense of another. Steve Kerr torched the nets when he got a good look, but nobody ever asked him to score 20 points a night or defend the opposition's best player. No lead was safe with Reggie Miller on the court, but even during his best scoring season (24.6 ppg in 1989-90) he knocked down fewer than two 3-pointers per game. Now, the popular 'three and D' players — the Shane Battier types — have become highly sought after because of what they offer on both sides of the floor, but there's a reason why they've been given the previously mentioned moniker.
The idea of a high-volume scorer taking more than 40 percent of his total field-goal attempts from beyond the arc while still putting up at least 20 points a night was unusual. The group of players who could lead their team in scoring and still record elite 3-point numbers was an exclusive one, and not even Miller, Glen Rice or Ray Allen accomplished what the Golden State point guard did this season.
At just 25 years of age, Curry put up those 22.9 points per game while hitting 3.5 threes a night at a 45.3 percent clip, numbers never collectively matched in NBA history, according to basketball-reference.com. As far as shooters go, we're currently privy to watching something special.
Shooting threes is not easy. It's why, despite the high value of made attempts, they're the lowest-percentage shot on the floor. It's also why you don't typically see a team's first scoring option hitting so many at such a successful rate. Knocking down shots from NBA range is one thing when you're open, but it's another thing entirely when a defender's in your jock all night.
And most big-time scorers do a lot of damage from the free-throw line, but not Curry. The diminutive star attempted more than twice as many 3-pointers per game (7.7) as free throws (3.7) while setting the record for made threes in a season. He also hit more shots from deep (272) than free throws (262) this year. In fact, 43 percent of his field-goal attempts came from beyond the arc; just 23 percent of his shots came from anywhere inside the paint.
And what's more, his 3-point-shooting percentage was higher than the 45.1-percent mark he averaged from the floor in general, not something you often associate with a guy who averaged nearly 23 points in 78 games played. Roughly 67 percent of Curry's shots were jumpers, yet he still managed an effective field-goal percentage of 54.9 and a true-shooting percentage of 58.9. But while the old adage says 'you live by the jumper and you die by the jumper,' Steph survives by his, and he hasn't become any less lethal with the end of the regular season.
As his team prepares to host the Nuggets in Game 6 tonight, Curry heads back to Oracle Arena averaging 24.8 points per game on 47.4 percent shooting, including 3.8 made threes at 42.2 percent during the playoffs. He hasn't slowed a bit, even with the ultra-intense atmosphere and general higher level of defensive focus that comes with postseason play. (To be clear, Denver hasn't exactly been what you would call dominant, defensively.) But Curry can kill you from deep in so many different ways, it's difficult to pin-point the most effective method of slowing him down.
While someone like Spurs guard Danny Green has been deadly from the arc as a spot-up shooter, by eliminating those good looks you effectively take away his ability to beat you from deep. But that's not the case with Curry. During the regular season, Steph took at least 112 threes from each of the following four vantage-points: as a spot-up shooter (159 attempts), as a pick-and-roll ball-handler (155), in transition (128) and off the screen (112).
So even if you're able to keep up with him off the screen, in transition or spotting up, the defensive assignment hardly ends there. As lethal as Steph is floating around the perimeter, he's equally as dangerous dancing with the ball in his hands. He can destroy you going left or right, off the dribble or pulling up from 30 feet. And unlike many shooters whose percentages might regress toward the mean the more shots they jack up, Curry is like a dominant pitcher — if you don't get to him early, you're screwed. Once he finds his rhythm, he makes the impossible look easy.
But the NBA's seventh-leading scorer will have his work cut out for him, as he will certainly face his toughest tests as the postseason moves on. Denver has focused its efforts toward thwarting the point guard's success by pushing the limits of physicality. The modern-day limits, at least.
The Nuggets began pushing, elbowing, even tripping the 3-point assassin, disrupting his motions and even frustrating him into unwise fan interactions. And their tactics did not go unnoticed by Warriors coach Mark Jackson, whose post-game comments have made their rounds along with player responses. This series just became quite heated, and whether or not Curry will be able to withstand the punches for another round remains to be seen. But up to this point, it seems like the only thing that has remotely worked against the explosive shooting star.
"When you get close to playoffs and in to playoffs, you see those kinds of performances. It's always memorable for all of us," Popovich said that day. "Coaches, fans, players … everybody."
If Golden State is able to upset the previously favored Nuggets and move on to a second-round date with San Antonio, the only blueprint for defending Curry might exist in Denver's current rough-em-up gameplan. Because for what Steph has already accomplished this season, there is no precedent.

I'm kinda a novice when it comes to guns, so what's the difference between a free-floating and a non-free floating barrel?

In a rifle a free-floating barrel is one that doesn't touch the forearm of the stock.
It "free floats" above the wood.
A free floating barrel is often essential to getting the best accuracy out of a centerfire rifle.
June 18, 2003, 08:07 AM
It has always seemed to me that 'free-floating barrel' is a misnomer. The barrel is obviously rigidly attached to the receiver. The thing that floats is the stock. That way when you are firing off hand the tension on the sling doesn't pull the barrel down. I am nowhere near good enough a shooter to notice a difference...
June 18, 2003, 08:25 AM
June 18, 2003, 08:44 AM
The barrel of any free-floated rifel is supported by cantilever from the receiver. Not the best for a long barrel (>21" or so).
All serious modern competition guns are this way, so that the sling pressure does not effect the barrel and POI.
Many guns are glass bedded or bedded other ways and are more than accurate enough for hunting or other uses. Bench rest rifles are often bedded, since the pressure on the stock/barrel is consistent that way.
Muzzle loading rifles often need pressure on the barrel to shoot well, as they are low velocity and barrel harmonics really come into play - thus needing to be controled via bedding. I did some work with mine and went from 4" groups to shooting out the X ring at 50 yards.

it's not usually acceptable for military rifles, which have to act as a handle for a bayonet as well.

'I Didn't Realize the Impact the First Lady Can Have'
After "a Very Stressful Eight Years" in a Spotlight She Never Wanted, Laura Bush Opens Up About Her Life and Unexpectedly Public Role in the George W. Bush White House—and Why She Can't Wait to Go Home
Well, no, actually, we didn't know. The side of Laura Bush that favors jungle prints, the side that gets a kick out of raising the older Mrs. Bush's eyebrows—these are facets the public rarely, if ever, has witnessed. At the close of the George W. Bush years, barely 30 percent of Americans approve of the President's performance. But a clear majority admire Mrs. Bush, even as she has steadfastly stood by her sometimes divisive and gaffe-prone husband. That fact, notes the Pew Research Center's Michael Dimmock, "is testament to how much people like her." But how well do they know her?
Behind her serene turquoise eyes, she remains such an enigma that this immensely private woman set off an eight-way bidding war when she promised publishers a candid account of her public life. Scribner nabbed the memoir (due out in 2010) with a seven-figure advance. "Don't worry," Mrs. Bush is quick to add, it's not the $8 million Hillary Clinton got. "It will be cathartic to reflect on the last eight years," she says of writing the book, to be penned with a collaborator. (Mrs. Bush was also the inspiration for a bestselling novel, Curtis Sittenfeld's American Wife, published last year, which friends say the First Lady has not read.) Alternately wonkish, wistful, girlish and guarded in four exit interviews with PEOPLE, she says she hopes to show people an intellectual side that often got drowned out by her husband's headlines and by the media's portrayal of her as a cookie-baking former librarian whose work on education policy was, as she puts it, "trivialized." Not remotely amused, she says, "I haven't baked any [cookies]. I haven't cooked in 14 years."
And yet Mrs. Bush strikes an unapologetically traditional tone when she says job No. 1 for her—and for all First Ladies—is to support the President: "My role is his wife." That role included regular dinners à deux where, she says with a chuckle, they sometimes let fly "that kind of line we really wouldn't ever tell anyone."
Something else we may never hear? Points of disagreement. Mrs. Bush says she never doubted her husband's decision to go to war in Iraq. And she demurs when asked for her take on his other positions, from stem cells to torture as an interrogation technique. Friends say Mrs. Bush does hold strong opinions. "But she and George have a lighthearted way of disagreeing," says Regan Gammon, a lifelong friend. "They joke and laugh and tease." Publicly, Mrs. Bush repeats the mantra that plunging public opinion of the Bush presidency doesn't shake them. "Well, it bothers me," she allows, "but we have a core that's stronger than that." And his critics? "Those people, they don't know George."
Nor can they know how it felt to be in her place. She remembers standing on the Truman Balcony Sept. 5, 2001, reveling in the fireworks display that punctuated her flawless first state dinner, for Mexico. Already, she was deeply involved in education projects and believed on that night that such issues close to home were "going to be a centerpiece of the Bush administration." Just six days later the attacks of 9/11 upended that vision—and forced her to join her husband on a bigger world stage. Though she once made George vow that she would never have to give a speech as a political wife, Mrs. Bush took over the President's weekly radio address to excoriate the Taliban for brutality against Afghan women and girls, and an accidental ambassador was born. She has since traveled to 76 countries to lobby on a variety of issues (see box). "Early on, I didn't realize the impact the First Lady can have. It grew, because I became more expert in issues I never discussed before or thought about," says Mrs. Bush, noting that a sixth-grade report she did on Afghanistan was about all she knew of that country before 2001.
If the stress and travel took a toll, Mrs. Bush found ways to escape. There's an annual hiking trip ("Now, it's sort of strolls") with four girlfriends, some she's known since second grade. At the White House, Mrs. Bush meets sister-in-law Margaret Bush at 7:30 each morning for yoga. "She does a perfect tree pose," says Margaret. And if the tabloids take after her? "She'll just roll her eyes and say, 'I don't understand how they get away with lies.'" She's even learned to laugh at outlandish tabloid attacks on her marriage. After The Globe wrote that she was to get $15 million in a divorce settlement, Mrs. Bush joked to a friend, "You think that's $15 million per year?"
But her biggest refuge is "just being with my husband and the girls," she says of her 26-year-old twin daughters. Jenna is now a teacher at a public boarding school in Baltimore. Barbara, who often joined Mrs. Bush on foreign trips, recently gave up a New York City design museum job to develop a health corps deploying college grads to staff medical clinics around the world.
Having raised two girls in the Presidential mansion, Mrs. Bush says it was "really fun" showing the residence to Sasha and Malia Obama. Of Michelle Obama, she says, "She'll be great. We all have a lot in common. I mean, the club of people who have lived in the White House is very small."
She is happy to be nearing emeritus club status and excited about the $2-million-plus Dallas home where she and the President will live come Jan. 20. "He didn't see the house," she says. "I brought him pictures." The only piece of furniture she's taking is a chest of drawers that once belonged to the President's grandmother. "I'm looking forward to living a private life, in our own house, with our own things." And while she calls it "retirement," she intends to remain involved—especially with Afghanistan and Burma. Asked about her legacy, Mrs. Bush answers, "I hope people will remember me for being an open and caring person but also for standing with women around the world on breast cancer, women's rights, democracy building and on what every mother wants, which is a good education for her children." She pauses, a flicker of wistfulness in those blue eyes. "Maybe if I have a regret, it's just that I didn't do more."

Since the determinants of protein kinase specificity involve complex 3-dimensional interactions, these motifs, short amino-acid sequences describing the primary structure around the phosphoacceptor residue, are a significant oversimplification of the issue. They do not take into account possible secondary and tertiary structural elements, or determinants from other polypeptide chains or from distant locations within the same chain. Furthermore, not all of the residues described in a particular specificity motif may carry the same weight in determining recognition and phosphorylation by the kinase. As a consequence, they should be used with some caution.
On the other hand, many of the residues within these consensus sequences have in fact proven to be crucial recognition elements, and the very simplicity of these motifs has made them useful in the study of protein kinases and their substrates. In addition to the prediction of phosphorylation sites, short synthetic oligopeptides based on consensus motifs are often excellent substrates for protein kinase activity assays.
Some protein kinases such as CKI and GSK-3 contain phosphoamino acid residues in their recognition motifs, and have been termed "hierarchical" protein kinases [see (3) for review]. They often require prior phosphorylation by another kinase at a residue in the vicinity of their own phosphorylation site. S(P) represents such preexisting phosphoserine residues.

A Maui veterans parade planned for Nov. 10 has been rescheduled for next year, according to Paul Laub, president of the Maui County Veterans Council. The decision to hold the parade next year came as a recommendation from the "Celebrate Veterans" parade committee, he said.
"Recognizing numerous challenges that could not be addressed in the time remaining, a decision was made . . . to support existing veterans activities traditionally associated with Veterans Day and to hold the parade on a date that would allow for increased planning, fundraising and participation by veterans organizations, their families and supporters," an announcement said.
"We are grateful to the men and women who have stepped up to make the 'Celebrate Veterans' parade a success and have taken time from their busy lives to help plan an event that will demonstrate our respect and appreciation for those who have served us in the cause of freedom," Laub said.
People are encouraged to attend the following activities, all on the Nov. 11 Veterans Day holiday:
* Korean War Veterans services, 9 a.m. at the Makawao Veterans Cemetery.
* A Veterans and Supporters picnic, 10:30 a.m. at Kalama Park in Kihei.
* Kihei Veterans of Foreign Wars Luau, 5 p.m. at the VFW Hall on Uluniu Road.
Laub said that anyone who has donated money to make the parade possible may request to have their donations returned, or they may leave the donation with the council for next year's parade.
In a yet-to-be-published letter to The Maui News, Kihei resident John Fairbank expressed disappointment with the parade being canceled this year.
Fairbank said the idea of holding a parade was backed by "an enthusiastic group of veterans and other interested folks on Maui with a 'can-do' attitude."
He said the group put in "a lot of time and effort" to line up parade participants, plan a parade route, raise funds and do other work, but "it seems there were foot draggers and naysayers, individuals and groups who decided not to participate and oppose the efforts."
Fairbank noted that Maui has been able to stage other parades, such as the annual Maui Fair Parade, Makawao Paniolo Parade and others, "but small town Maui County is just unable to pull together and have a parade to honor its veterans . . . Shame!"
Ed Gazmen, who had publicly announced the parade plans in September, could not be reached for comment Saturday afternoon.

Hopefully it won't be a Sadderday. Nice word coinage Sully, that will be in the public vernacular. I see thanks to my effort, free speech is alive and well, even though misused by a handful of old mental cases sputtering about their long failed board war and old posters they hate, though they've had their enemies names wrong all along. I guess Flyktning's 'team of imperfects' will do anything to run off intelligent posters and intelligent discourse. No worries. Every semester I am gifted with more intelligent young minds. I enjoy watching them achieve great things as alumni. Every year there are more. Every year gets better and better. The secret to life happiness is simply being happy, so bury your board war dead, they have long ago turned. Don't melt on my behalf. I never read your screeds. I remain alive and well. And thriving. I hope that helps.
Good afternoon professor! I haven't been here in awhile and missed seeing you. They called me in to test my Tesla and gave me a brand new loaner just like it, then said 'just keep the loaner ! It's just like my original minus all those high speed city and highway miles. Beep Beep! God bless Elon! Beep beeeeeeeeep!
My post here got pulled down and deleted? That is certainly going to make it difficult for me to reply and rub more salt in my imposter's many wounds. But of course, it's margarita Friday! Is ebay slipping? Again? No $60 in sight, and even $55 is looking shaky? I'm sure a plethora of fake IDs and delusional posts will prop up ebay's sagging libido. I hope that helps.
Good morning real professor. Thanks for your compliments but I don't wish to have my mind sullied over any DRIBBLING imposters. Their 5-10 posts to our one clearly shows I am in charge. Yes, $55 is barely holding on. How would anyone lying about $60 even show their embarrassed face? The deep sullied shame. LOL!

Alumni has been busier than you can imagine professor. Check your email for latest Ian report.
Good morning professor! It's great to see you alive and well, and a fascinating study in aberrant psychology to see a pair of very disturbed creatures here keep you front and center, daily, though you hardly post, the way they obsess on that man from 2005 who outed their lies and bean team. The man who has made them step and fetch daily in misery, poverty and mental illness. Just like he made fat punk 'warriors' stand in a mound of fire ants while they tried to wear wigs and say they were him. They could never be HIM. It's great to see the new attitude on the board. If Yahoo really got serious they could protect their melt gang by removing them to a mental ward. Who will get them first, their horrible fate or Ian?
Congratulations professors and alumni for cleaning up a very very sullied board! We know it will only last a few days though, and we all know Alumni's work is far from done. Many affairs have been set into motion to cause extreme gravitational fluctuations for some. Imagine the audacity of silly people thinking a person not even here would somehow be lonely without their blather? The laughs unceasing, so will be the results. Ebay might actually have a chance to show its true colors now. Just saying. LOL!
Good morning again Professor. Why must a societal reject and eternal psycho loser pretend you are gone when every day, even without posting, you beat him like a red headed Rippled out step child. When Johnie and all his IDs step into hades, what a long overdue awakening it will be. Then the brimstone drowns that.
Hey Professor, does it make you proud to see my team of imperfects stewing in their own melt juices day after day going nowhere except hades? Are you laughing that they can't even afford coffee? You are aren't you? It's bean the Fall Of Western Civilization around here. Just saying.

Asian equity markets opened weak after weak a closing of the US exchanges and further declined due to narrowing Japan's trade balance. Yesterday US markets saw the Dow reach a new high before turning to decline. Japan slipped back into a trade deficit in July, as exports languished and imports of gas and generating equipment surged, the Ministry of Finance has reported. The deficit was 517.4 billion yen (6.5 billion US dollars) in July, according to provisional trade figures. That compares with a 69.7 billion yen surplus a year earlier and a modest surplus of 62 million yen in June of this year. Exports fell 8% from a year earlier in July to 5.3 trillion yen (66.9 billion US dollars), while imports rose 2% to 5.83 trillion yen (73.6 billion US dollars), the ministry said.
Japan has managed to eke out small trade surpluses in some months over the last year, but reported a record annual trade deficit for the fiscal year that ended in March.
Base metals are trading down by 0.1 to 0.63 percent at the London Metals Exchange. Early morning, pessimism has again crept in the markets in the form of weak trades data indicating continued weakness in economic activity. Further, the Chinese equities have also remained weak though the Premier hinted at $23 billion of investments in durables and housing to boost demand for industrial metals including iron-ore.
During the European session yesterday, the Luxemburg Prime minister also the chief among the Euro-zone finance ministers would visit the Greek counterpart to discuss the possibilities ahead of the European summit. Further Germany is scheduled to auction 5 billion 2-year notes and amidst such developments, investors may grow weary regarding the actions and may likely weaken metals.
There are no major releases scheduled from the European Union and metals may remain subdued and continue to fade along with the shared currency.
As the US session opens later today, markets should perk up and may become volatile. The US existing home sales and mortgage applications may increase at a slower pace after recent surge in leading and coincident indicators and may support gains in base metals. Also the minutes of FOMC may provide some reaction while similar to BOJ the Fed may also refrain from additional easing and may disappoint gains.
Anticipation of better US housing might limit other currency pairs and may boost dollar index restricting other currency buying.
Gold prices are trading almost flat at $1639 levels may be taking slight ease breath and preparing to make a rally ahead of the FOMC minutes.
Meanwhile, weaker than expected trade figures of Japan today has further weighed although there doesn't seem to be much impact on gold rather this may prompt investors' to remain long in gold.
Data releases from US are likely to have marginally positive impact on the dollar or gold.
An important point to discuss here is minutes of FOMC meeting held last month is likely to turn markets upside down if depending on comments and interpretations of the minutes.
This morning silver prices are trading at $29.27 slight dip from previous close. Certainly, when all Asian equities are trading down we should see some dip in the industrial metals and so the impact is now felt over silver this morning. As discussed above the Japanese trade balance has shrunken for the month of July we have been seeing all Asian peers are in red now. Of course, negative cues have been also followed from last day's Wall Street's performance. As discussed, going ahead we do not see any data releases from euro-zone/Germany but likely meeting may have optimism on euro so we could see precious metals or few other asset classes might perform better, so we could see some more soothing on silver trend. Nevertheless, equities movement across the globe should have to be tracked carefully. By any means, if equities continue to trade down then we might see slight submissive impact on silver too. The FOMC minutes, would have the same affect here as for gold and the metals pack.

Avenue U
Avenue U is a street located in Brooklyn, New York City, United States. This avenue is a main thoroughfare throughout its length. Avenue U begins at Stillwell Avenue in Gravesend and ends at Bergen Avenue in Bergen Beach, while serving the other Brooklyn neighborhoods of Homecrest, Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, and Mill Basin along its route.
Little Hong Kong/Guangdong[edit]
Avenue U in Homecrest now supports southern Brooklyn's second Chinatown (唐人街, U大道),[1][2][3] as evidenced by the rapidly growing number of Chinese food markets, bakeries, restaurants, beauty and nail salons, and computer and consumer electronics dealers between Coney Island Avenue and Ocean Avenue.[4] Since 2004, the Q train on the BMT Brighton Line goes to Canal Street in the Manhattan Chinatown (紐約華埠) to Brooklyn's Avenue U Chinatown directly.[3] (The area was formerly served by M, and D trains, which did go to Manhattan's Chinatown,[5] albeit at different times at different stations, Canal Street on the M Train, Grand Street on the D Train) A third Chinatown has subsequently emerged in southern Brooklyn, in Bensonhurst (唐人街, 本森社区), served by the D train.
This Chinatown on Avenue U is actually a second extension of Manhattan's Chinatown, after the original Brooklyn Chinatown (布鲁克林華埠), which had developed in Sunset Park. Within a sixteen-year period, the Chinese population multiplied by an estimated fourteen fold.[6] The increasing property values and congestion in Brooklyn's first established Chinatown on 8th Avenue in Sunset Park led to the still increasing Chinese population in Brooklyn pouring into the Sheepshead Bay and Homecrest sections, which in the late 1990s resulted in the establishment of a second Chinatown on Avenue U between the Homecrest and Sheepshead Bay sections.[7][8]
The Avenue U Chinatown is now in expansion mode, despite originating initially from less than ten blocks,[9][10] originally resembling Manhattan's Chinatown in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when that Chinatown was still in the early stages of its development, and concentrated within a ten-block section of Mott, Doyers, and Pell Streets.
The Chinese residents call Avenue U in Chinese translation U大道 and call Sheepshead Bay 羊头湾.[11][12][13] Just outside this Chinese enclave, also on Avenue U, there is a Chinese supermarket named New York Mart.[14] The East West Bank currently serves as the largest Chinese financial institution for the Avenue U Chinatown.[15]
This newly emerging Chinese enclave and as well as in sections of Bensonhurst are primarily Cantonese populated and more of extensions of the Western Cantonese section of Manhattan's Chinatown or Little Hong Kong (小香港)/Little Guangdong (小廣東) or Cantonese Town (粵語埠). However, there are small numbers of Fuzhou and Mandarin speakers.
There are three New York City Subway stations in Brooklyn named Avenue U:
- Avenue U (BMT Brighton Line), served by the Q train
- Avenue U (IND Culver Line), served by the F train train
- Avenue U (BMT Sea Beach Line), served by the N train
The B3 bus operates on Avenue U for its entire length, except from 86th Street to Stillwell Avenue and from East 71st Street to Bergen Avenue.

My dog has been treated for
since early May and has not gone into remission. He also has heart problems and is elderly (at least 16 years old). He has serious breathing problems, including coughing. The veterinary oncologist doesn't seem to know what to do for him. They have taken X-rays of his chest and see something in the lungs, but it is not clearly cancer. They think the lymph nodes may be affecting the lungs. They won't extract cells from the lungs because they say it is risky and they won't do other imaging. My dog is on prednisone and antibiotics. What more can I do for my dog besides put him to sleep?

What treatment are they doing for the lymphoma? Chemo or just Pred?
What type of breathing problems- exercise intolerance? Shallow rapid breathing? Increased abdominal component to breathing? Loud breathing?
What type of dog is this?
Ask Your Own Dog Veterinary Question
replied 7 years ago.
All kinds of chemo - vincristine, elspar, mitoxantrone and others. When he's not coughing, he has rapid shallow breathing. He also has
sick sinus syndrome
and had pneumonia a few years ago. They have also given him neupogen and darbopoetin.
Dr. Gary
replied 7 years ago.
Ok thanks,
The rapid shallow breathing is often due to lung compliance rather than an infiltrative disease in the lungs. If there is fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) then it could be tapped off easily and fairly non-invasively. This would have been seen on the x-rays. If this is due to cancer invading the lung tissue then you're left with doing more chemo- a rescue protocol although the prognosis becomes much worse when we're doing these rescue protocols. The one chemo drug I don't see on your list that works well for lymphoma is Doxorubicin (Adriamycin). Adriamycin is a bag of orange fluid if it helps any.
Another potential cause of the increased respiratory rate is a side effect of the Prednisone. It may be worth a shot to wean off the Pred or go down to every other day and see if that helps.
The coughing makes me think something is compressing the bronchi. This is most likely the tracheobronchial lymph nodes. There is not an easy way to diagnose this as x-rays are not all that sensitive to visualizing lymph nodes in the chest. Again, we're left with higher doses of chemo as our only real option.
I know you don't want to hear it, but it may be getting close to time to make that hard decision. It is usually when we get respiratory involvement that we start thinking euthanasia. I'd still give Adriamycin a shot if it has not been done already- I suspect it may have been given the sick sinus syndrome as it can be cardio
when we reach high cumulative doses. If not, then try that one and see if it helps.
Cough suppressants are another option to control the signs. Hycodan would be my first choice. Torb (Butorphanol) is another option.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

replied 7 years ago.
If I recall correctly, they would not give him adriamycin due to his heart condition. Is that a valid excuse? Should I get a CAT scan or MRI for him? I also don't know if the variety/ inconsistency of chemo treatment has been a factor in the progression of the disease. It was determined at the start that it was a B-cell problem, which should have been treatable.
Dr. Gary
replied 7 years ago.
Yes B-cell lymphoma is more responsive to chemo, but the survival time is still a median of 12 months. This means that some will live in the 8-10 month range while others will be luckier and get 14-16 months. The longest survival times are no more than 2 years with lymphoma.
So the heart condition was there prior to chemo. I would still consider giving Adriamycin. It can cause
heart disease
, but it's an accumulative effect. Basically that means that a certain amount (mg/kg) should not be given to a dog. If we stick with normal chemo doses and give it a couple times during the typical University of Wisconsin 24 week protocol, we don't get anywhere near that range. I'd give it to this dog without too much hesitation.
As for MRI/ CT. A CT may help to look at the tracheobronchial lymph nodes. An MRI does not help much in the chest- difficult to get a good scan with the movement. I probably wouldn't do the CT because it wouldn't likely change my treatment plan. This has got to be related to the lymphoma- so treat the lymphoma. It would be highly unlikely that this is due to another disease process in the chest. General anesthesia is also required for a CT- it's relatively safe, but there are always concerns anesthetizing a cancer dog with respiratory signs.

I took Sam to the oncologist today. Dr. Beck decided to put him on the MOPP protocol, with mustargen and vincristine. I'm supposed to give him more pills this week. I also have an appointment for Thursday to take to a vet about radiation therapy. Thanks to you, the vet prescribed Hycodan - however, it's only available in syrup form now. I picked it up tonight from the pharmacist. Sam isn't coughing tonight (like he was last night), but he's clearly having trouble breathing (he even sounds like he is gurgling a little). I'm not sure whether I should give him the hycodan when he's like this. I also had to force feed him today. He was
earlier - though weakly - and he hardly seems like he can get up now. Today's chemo clearly took a lot out of him. I'm praying that he lives through the night and feels better tomorrow. I'm really glad that I contacted you because you gave me a little peace of mind. The oncologist says there is a pill form of adriamycin that the Swiss have used that doesn't hurt the heart - she's trying to find it.

I'm glad the Hycodan is helping with the cough. I would hold off on another dose until he shows you he's coughing. If he's gurgling and having labored breathing then don't give it.
That's interesting about the Adria coming in a pill, never heard of that.
I hope he does ok tonight as well, best of luck.

A two-car accident occurred in Hyde Park on the morning of Tuesday, July 30, involving a school bus and another vehicle. The Lamoille County Sheriff's Department received a call about the accident at roughly 8:42 a.m. and responded to the scene of the crash, which occurred on Cricket Hill Road near Battle Row. At the time of the crash the weather was clear and sunny, and the road surface was dry gravel.
Upon arriving at the scene of the accident, deputies discovered that the second vehicle involved was a 2005 Chevrolet Blazer being driven by Robert Peake, a 41-year old resident of Hyde Park. The school bus involved in the accident was a 2004 International owned by First Student Inc. That vehicle was being driven by Davis Manning, a 48-year old resident of Johnson. In addition to Manning there were four juveniles on the school bus.
As part of their investigation, deputies also ascertained that the accident occurred when Peake's Blazer struck the school bus, which was traveling south on the road. As a result of the crash the left side of both vehicles received extensive damage and both the Blazer and the school bus had to be towed away.
There were no injuries reported at the time of the accident. Northern Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene to evaluate everyone involved in the accident. The four juveniles on the bus were evaluated by NEMS personnel and their parents were notified before the students were released and transported to Lamoille Union Middle School.
A DMV Inspector was also called to the site of the crash to inspect the school bus. Cricket Hill Road was closed for the duration of the investigation.

Widely known as a friend of Franz Kafka (q. v.), Ernst Weiss – also a German-speaking Jew from Prague – was a talented author whose novels, stories and literary essays have not yet received their deserved acclaim. Like Russian Anton Chekhov (q. v.) and fellow Austrian Jew Arthur Schnitzler (q. v.), Weiss was a physician as well as a creative writer. Many of his novels take as their concern illness, medical careers, and medical ethics, as well as criminal psychology. They explore human biology and drives, often including a passionate, sometimes dangerously uncontrollable drive for knowledge. His first novel revealed his remarkably early insight that x-rays can cause cancer; in his last novel, based on a real incident, a physician …

GW Women's Hoops Squares Off With Rival Georgetown on Tuesday
Colonials, Hoyas Battle for District Bragging Rights at 8 p.m.
Dec. 2, 2013
WHO: GW Women's Basketball (4-2)
The Last Meeting
December 1, 2012
WASHINGTON - Following a historic performance on Sunday in Atlanta, the George Washington women's basketball team returns to the District for a showdown with crosstown rival Georgetown on Tuesday. Tipoff from the Hoyas' McDonough Arena is set for 8 p.m.
GW (4-2) defeated Jacksonville State, 100-71, in the consolation game of the Georgia State Invitational, becoming the first team in program history to reach 100 points twice in the same season. Graduate student Megan Nipe scored 31 points against the Gamecocks, matching her career-high which she set just two weeks ago in GW's upset of No. 10/11 California. She is the ninth Colonial ever to top 30 points twice in a season and the first since Cathy Joens did it three times in 2004.
Nipe led five Colonials in double figures, as junior Chakecia Miller scored 13 points to go with six assists, five steals and five rebounds, while sophomore Dalacy Anderson tallied a career-high 12 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Freshman Hannah Schaible scored 11 points and had three steals and three assists, and graduate student Danni Jackson recorded 10 points and seven assists, moving her into a tie for 10th place all-time at GW with 380 career helpers.
Nipe is the Atlantic 10's third-leading scorer, averaging 19.3 points per game, while Jackson is averaging 11.3 ppg and ranks seventh in the league with 4.2 assists per contest. Miller gives the Colonials three players scoring in double digits with 10.0 ppg, and freshman Caira Washington is GW's top rebounder with 7.2 rpg to go with 8.7 ppg.
Georgetown (4-2) has won three straight games, including a 92-78 victory over Alaska-Anchorage to take home the Great Alaska Shootout Championship. Andrea White was named the Most Outstanding Player and was joined on the All-Tournament Team by Natalie Butler and Katie McCormick.
Butler, a freshman center who has been named BIG EAST Rookie of the Week twice this season, averages a double-double on the season with 16.3 points and 13.5 rebounds per game. She leads the league in rebounding and blocks (2.0 bpg) and ranks eighth in scoring. White also ranks among conference leaders with 14.0 ppg and 7.2 rpg, and she is second with a .600 shooting percentage.
Tuesday's game is the 23rd all-time meeting between GW and Georgetown, and the Colonials lead the series, 17-15.
GW opens a seven-game homestand on Saturday when it hosts Towson at 2 p.m. The Colonials play at the Charles E. Smith Center for the remainder of 2013, then open Atlantic 10 play at home against George Mason on Jan. 2.

METABOLIC ACIDOSIS is a clinical state characterized by an excess of hydrogen ions, the source of which are acids other than carbonic. In diabetic acidosis, the source of the excessive hydrogen ion is ketoacids formed during the process of intermediary metabolism in the absence of insulin. The degree of acidemia, ie, lowering of arterial blood pH, will depend on the severity of the metabolic disturbance on the one hand and the efficiency of the compensating mechanisms on the other. Reductions in arterial blood acid-base parameters, pH, [HCO3—], and Pco2, define the pattern of the metabolic acidosis. Reduction in Pco2 is a reflection of the compensatory hyperventilation (Kussmaul respiration) occurring presumably in response to the lowered pH. If untreated, diabetic acidosis is fatal.
Stadelmann 2 in 1883 was the first to recognize that the symptom complex of diabetic coma was similar to the acid intoxication produced in rabbits by Walter.3

Berlin welcomes the summer with famous concert
Visitors on Berlin tours are invited to enjoy a fantastic summer's evening in the beautiful forests surrounding the city later this year.
On June 27th the famous Waldbuhne wooded area on the outskirts of the city becomes a magical open-air concert venue as the Berliner Philharmoniker brings its season of concerts to a close.
Whole families make the journey to this enchanting spot for the occasion and many bring bountiful picnics of champagne and other gourmet nibbles as they settle down for an unmissable programme of classic music.
The concert usually ends with a performance of the traditional favourite Berliner Luft, prompting much singing-along and swellings of pride among the audience.
This yearly highlight of the city's cultural calendar stands on a similar footing to the world-famous Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in London and is held is very high regard by not only the audience but people all across Germany.
