Way back in 1952, almost fifty years ago, Lucien painted a tiny portrait of his friend Francis on a piece of copper plate. It measured a mere 18 x 13 cm (about the size of a postcard). In what may have been the shrewdest art purchase of the year, the Tate Gallery bought the portrait painted by the then unknown Freud (unknown except for the name he shared with his famous grandfather). Thirty-six years later, in 1988, the British Council organised a foreign retrospective of Freud's work (Lucien, not Sigmund). The tiny portrait was one of the star attractions of the show. But on Friday, May 27, 1988, someone stole it. It was not exactly the art heist of the century. In fact, except for its value, it was more akin to shoplifting than grand larceny. Remarkably, security at the Neue Nationalgalerie on Potsdamer Strausse in what was then West Berlin, on that day was practically non-existent. Not a single guard was on duty from the hours of eleven a.m. to four p.m. And of course the work was so small, it would have easily fit into a jacket pocket.
There was mention of the theft in the international press at the time, but due in no small part to the embarrassment of Berlin museum officials, the Tate and the British Council made little effort to get the work back. The show was immediately closed and some nefarious character had a free portrait of a rather homely looking famous artist. That was 13 years ago, and now Lucien Freud wants the painting back so that it might be included in yet another retrospective, this one scheduled for next June. He's offering a reward of 300,000 deutsche marcs (100,000 pounds sterling) for its return, no questions asked. Nowhere on the 2,200 wanted posters are mentioned either artist's names, only the request: "Would the person who now has possession, kindly consider allowing me to show the painting in my exhibition at the Tate next June?" The cost of the international publicity campaign is being underwritten by two anonymous individuals. It's a long shot by any reckoning. Oh, and another problem, the posters are now being taken down - stolen as collectors' items.

It looks like Aria will be pulling a disappearing act when the show bows at the end of August — but where will she go?
Just when you thought Ravenswood couldn't get any weirder, along comes this new batch of photos from the Aug. 27 summer finale of Pretty Little Liars, which finds all four girls roaming the town — and coming face-to-face with a menacing magician! The photos show Aria (Lucy Hale) playing assistant to a creepy trickster known as The Great Charlemagne, and considering the episode is titled "Now You See Me, Now You Don't," I'll give you one guess which trick Charlemagne intends to perform.
'Pretty Little Liars' Summer Finale: Prepare For 'World War A'
For a little more insight into the summer finale, here's ABC Family's official description of the episode:
An intriguing riddle from 'A' has the Liars hitting the road and heading to Ravenswood, where they are surrounded by some familiar faces. During a very special magic show, one Liar pulls a disappearing act, leaving the other three scrambling to make sure she hasn't succumbed to "A's" tricks.
But before they can hightail it out of Ravenswood, they make a shocking discovery that proves that everything they thought they knew about 'A' and the 'A' team might be wrong. With this discovery, the Liars may just have started 'World War A.'
Meanwhile, Hanna and her mother's joyous reunion is cut short when 'A's' sights are set on a new target. And Toby uncovers some surprising information about Wren.
Who knew the next world war would be fought with magicians?

Kim Kardashian, Camille Grammer & More: Before They Were Reality Stars, They Were PORN Stars!
Browse our gallery & tell us: Do you have less respect for stars who got their starts on sex tapes?
We all make mistakes — but in the cases of these five celebrities, sometimes those mistakes can lead to big bucks and worldwide fame! Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are among the tabloid staples who owe much of their notoriety to "leaked" sex tapes, which led to reality shows… among other things. Join us as we walk down Sex Tape Memory Lane, and tell us which celeb YOU think shamelessly profited the most.
- Though we have yet to feast our eyes on any of these gems, Camille Grammer starred in several softcore pornos back in the '90s — and when her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills discovered stills of the movies online, they e-mailed the photos to each other! Can't say we blame them.
- A sex tape starring Kim Kardashian and then-boyfriend Ray J was released by Vivid Entertainment in 2007. Kim eventually settled with the porn giant in court for about $5 million.
- Though the tape was released after she hit it big on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, reality TV villainess Danielle Staub starred in an X-rated home movie — and she filmed it herself!
- This one's a doozy! Kendra Wilkinson — who got her start as one of Hugh Hefner's main Playboy Bunnies — claimed her sex tape was "leaked" when it hit the web in May 2010, though RadarOnline.com was quick to report that Kendra had actually planned to sell the tape herself back in 2008! Shameless, or what?
- And there's the princess of celebrity sex tapes: Paris Hilton! Her raunchy home video, marketed as One Night in Paris by its co-star Rick Solomon, hit the internet in 2003 — one week before Paris' show, The Simple Life, premiered on FOX.

John Soudah
Order of the Roadrunner Award winner
John Soudah started his career with UTSA approximately 11 years ago as a computer user service assistant in the Office of Information Technology. As a result of his hard work and dedicated service, he was promoted many times over the years and is now the director of academic computing.
His ability to oversee 11 specialized computer labs, eight computer classrooms and 150 traditional classrooms with computer and Internet capabilities is a testament to his outstanding work ethic. Even though faculty can sometimes be demanding and require a great deal of assistance and technical support, Soudah always gets the job done in a way that exceeds expectations. According to one of his nominators, "John does an outstanding job for the College of Business."
Faculty research is an important part of UTSA's goal to reach premier university status. Because of this, Soudah works closely with faculty members to ensure they have access to all the college's databases, including from remote locations.
Soudah also provides visitors and guests with superior customer service. Recently when the College of Business was reviewed for reaccreditation, the peer-review team praised him for his exceptional level of customer service and the time and effort he gave them.
During the summer of 2006, he focused much of his work and personal time to help with the many renovation projects in the college. He supervised the moving and setting up of new faculty offices, labs and offices. He also presided over the renovation of the Undergraduate Advising Office and the creation of the Center for Student Professional Development. Even though this was not a part of his job description, he volunteered to coordinate and oversee these multiple projects from beginning to end.
According to one of his nominators, "He is an invaluable asset, and without him these projects would not have been completed by the Fall 2006 semester. John Soudah is a professional in every sense of the word and without a doubt it is very fitting for him to win this award."
UTSA employees are invited to attend the event hosted by Sonia Martinez, vice president for university advancement; Rosalie Ambrosino, provost and vice president for academic affairs; and Jeffrey Kantor, associate vice president for research. The ceremony also will include remarks by President Ricardo Romo.
Downtown Campus and Institute of Texan Cultures staff members can attend the event utilizing VIA buses 93 or 94 at no charge by showing their UTSACard.
The ceremony will include retiree recognition, service pin awards for 5 to 30 years and refreshments. Twenty-five staff members will be honored on their retirements and 274 staff members will receive UT System service awards for the 2006 calendar year.

Prisoners Training Puppies Behind Bars
Eight dogs are being raised at MCI-Hagerstown. The inmates are training them, with supervision from intructors. They'll be sent to New York for more training after 14 months.
Only the inmates who have earned the right through good behavior can participate. No inmates with a history of child or animal abuse, or gang violence are allowed.
The dogs will go to wounded veterans through America's VetDogs.
"I thought about my grandfather, he was a World War II vet, I've seen the impact with him having a dog," says inmate trainer Douglas Riley, who is serving 15 years for second-degree murder. "He didn't have a veteran's dog, a vet's dog specially trained, but it was difference in his attitude and everything just having the dog."
A trained service dog from America's VetDogs is also helping Representative Gabrielle Giffords recover from severe brain injuries after she was shot.

The mass media constantly bombards us with liberal/socialist propaganda designed to "break up" the healthy, natural, social and moral order.
To annihilate the institutions of the goyim, The Protocols of Zion says, "we shall mask it under an alleged ardent desire to serve the working classes…" (6)
Liberals are dupes, what Communists call "useful idiots." I was one for most of my life. "Championing the oppressed" was a pathetic way to justify my life while being blinded to the real enemy. As I will demonstrate, liberals, funded by the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, are mostly unwitting pawns of a Satanic Communist agenda. They are like the lower Blue Degrees of Freemasonry, dupes. This sounds extreme but unfortunately, it is literally true.
Richard Rodriguez is a liberal propagandist. Flipping channels Thursday, I stumbled on this hate-filled diatribe against men and the traditional family on the Rockefeller- funded PBS. Called "Women on the Move" it suggests that the school girls of Afghanistan are ready to fill the vacuum as Wall Street and the "Male Order falters." Absurd as this notion is, it conveys the elite's desire for radical change and totalitarian control.
Rodriguez actually celebrates native women traitors who betrayed their people –La Malinche, Pocahontas and Sacagawea. (This is what feminists do when they become pawns of the oppressor.) He glorifies single mothers and flails "tribal leaders at war with modernity" because they want to protect their culture.
Newsflash poor Richard: "Modernity" is Satanism, i.e. the deification of Man, i.e. Rothschild Cabalist Man. Remember what the Rockefeller Insider said in 1969: "there are always two reasons for anything the Rockefellers do: the pretext which makes it palatable to the gullible public and the real reason."
I get a kick out of sanctimonious liberals who contribute money to the "Public" Broadcasting System when obviously it is a Rockefeller tool. But then I contributed to PBS when I was a liberal.
The same day, a Toronto Globe and Mail article trumpeted "A Remarkable Week for Gay Rights." This is why I never buy newspapers. They are propaganda rags that have abandoned any pretense of objectivity or honesty. Why does author John Ibbitson rejoice when marriage, the central heterosexual rite of 96% of the population, is redefined to satisfy marriage-minded gays, who are less than one per cent of the population? Marriage is a heterosexual rite. What if Muslims started redefining Passover or Jews took over Ramadan? Homosexuals should have their own equal but distinct rites.
Even children of sperm donors crave a father and go to great lengths to find him, yet Ibbitson is happy to see traditional marriage trashed. When was the last time you saw traditional marriage and family celebrated in the mass media? Marriage is designed to provide a stable foundation for child rearing. Apparently this society cares little for its own survival and health.
What do Rodriguez and Ibbitson have in common? The not-so-hidden liberal agenda is to get women to choose careers over family and abandon child-rearing to the State. Not coincidentally, the Communist Manifesto advocates destruction of the nuclear family.
Subjected to this propaganda, it's no wonder that only 53% of Americans can definitely say they prefer capitalism to socialism.
Bella Dodd (1904-1969) a lawyer and Political Science professor, was a Communist Party organizer from 1932-1948 and a member of the National Council of the CPUSA from 1944-48.
In her book, "School of Darkness," she said Communists like her infiltrated and took control of liberal and socialist groups and unions. (She took control of the NY Sate Teachers Union.) She said Communism is a Satanic cult that is conspiring to enslave the world.
In testimony to HUAC in 1953, she revealed some Liberals "have allowed themselves to become supporters of the very members of this conspiracy. This is not liberalism, not liberalism in the finest sense of the word. This is just allowing the Communist to pull them into a propaganda environment which says that "anyone who is close to the Communist is a liberal. I do not believe that is the definition of "a liberal."
She offered the classical definition of liberalism: "A liberal is a person who believes in the right of the individual to function. The Communist does not believe in the right of the individual. They believe only in the right of the collective. The individual is only part of a collective group, and whenever he doesn't move according to the collective he is ousted from the group."
Mr. Kuzig: "So you would say that when so-called liberals today, self-denominated liberals, support and work with the Communist program, they are being deluded into thinking they are helping a liberal cause when it is not liberal."
Dodd: "One of the great tragedies today is that these Americans do not realize that this would take civilization back to a barbarism which existed long before the Christian era… The Communists have a way of changing names and labels….How shall we recognize them, then ? …by the fact that they believe that there is no God ; that a person is just born, grows, dies, decays, and that is the end. They believe that the individual doesn't matter; that the collective matters. They believe that certain people should have the power to run a country."
The Protocols of Zion make it clear that the Illuminati bankers promoted liberalism and equality only to overthrow the gentile aristocracy and church. "While preaching liberalism to the goy we at the same time keep our own people and our agents in a state of unquestioning submission." (15)
"In order to annihilate the institutions of the goyim …we have replaced [their mechanism] by the chaotic license of liberalism. We have got our hands into the administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into the press, into liberty of the person, but principally into education and training as being the cornerstones of a free existence." (9)
Their control is based on the paralysis they induce in representative government. "We replaced the ruler with a charactacture of a government–by a President taken fromthe mob, from the midst of our puppet creatures or slaves. This was the foundation of the mine which we have laid under the GOY peoples…" (10)
Through their control of the press and education, they lionized "sedition mongers" which in turn has protected them. "This advertisement has increased the contingent of liberals and has brought thousands of GOYIM into the ranks of our livestock cattle." (19)
As for equality, the founders of Communism write:" Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," …"baits" [which] carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the mob."
"The would-be wise men of the goyim, the intellectuals…did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities,… it was based upon these things that dynastic rule rested: the father passed on to the son a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that none should know it but members of the dynasty and none could betray it to the governed. As time went on, the meaning of the dynastic transference of the true position of affairs in the political was lost, and this aided the success of our cause." (1-25)
We are all liberals in the classical sense of believing in individual freedom. But the Illuminati bankers have changed the definition of liberal to the spurious notion of championing the underdog. This has been used to divert, divide and undermine the majority, and subject the individual to the collective will which they define.
Until liberals wake up to what the Protocols refer to as "the true nature of things," they will continue to embrace their own destruction and that of Western civilization.
A cancer infects mankind. Central bankers who control the economy belong to a Cabalist Satanic cult called the Illuminati. It originates in the Sabbatean-Frankist Jewish heresy of 17th and 18th Century Europe. This occult movement is behind the "Enlightenment, "revolution," "secularism" and "modernity." It is behind socialism, feminism, zionism, communism and fascism.
The Illuminati control government, education and media by subtle networks like Freemasonry and intelligence agencies. They are using these levers to degrade humanity to be their cattle and serve them and their god, Lucifer, in a "New World Order." Mankind is on the receiving end of their hate, the victim of a cruel hoax of cosmic proportion.

A day at the range is meant to be a pleasant experience. A time to work at becoming a better marksman, to practice and improve. Unfortunately it doesn't always turn out that way, particularly with a scoped rifle, shotgun, or pistol. Taking the time, energy, and money to go out to a range and then have it be a wasted trip can leave a sour taste in any of our mouths. There are a few things you can do to help eliminate frustration at the range though. Making sure you equipment is properly maintained is a start (check all screws, mounts etc...), but there is also a line of products that can help you too. We are looking at one these items today, the Bushnell Laser Boresighter.
The Bushnell Laser Boresighter set includes the following items:
• One laser unit
• One carrying case
• Instruction set/small target
• Seven plastic arbors (from .22 to .50)
• Seven screws
• One hex key
The product seems sturdy enough. If I were to have an initial complaint, it is that there are lots of small pieces and the pocket in the case for it doesn't seem quite big enough. It certainly fits, but its tight and everything has to come out of the bag to find just a single piece.
The purpose of this device is to reduce the amount of time and energy required
to zero your scoped weapon. Before we begin, let me remind you to observe all basic
firearm safety rules while using this item! According to the instructions you need to
• Find the biggest arbor that fits your barrel.
• Assemble the device.
• Aim the scope at the red dot.
The instructions seem straight forward, however, there is one notable exception. The instructions state that there is a On/Off switch. There is not. The head of the laser just screws down until the laser activates. There is also an omission that really should be in the instructions: Put a screw in each arbor and turn it all the way down! This will make more sense as we look at step one.
Lets walk through the process on a .22.
• Set up your rifle, shotgun, or pistol in a vice.
• Find the appropriate arbor for the barrel and assemble the device. When done, it should look like this:
• The screw is on the barrel side. You turn the screw clockwise to expand it to fit the barrel. It will take a little trial and error, but eventually you will get a snug fit. When you get a snug fit and leave it inserted, it will look like this:
• Now that everything is together you can turn the laser on if you are ready to sight in. • Hang your target/paper where the laser is shining on it. • Adjust scope as necessary to either aim at the red dot, or do some rough elevation, adjusting depending on distance between target/paper and weapon.
The first unit I received was a huge let down. I kept ending up way off target. After some investigation I found that the laser itself was not aligned in its housing. Here is a picture of how far off the first unit was at only five yards with quarter turn rotations:
Each red dot marks the laser location after a quarter turn. Obviously with this unit if you simply aim at the red dot, you will not be doing yourself any favors. I requested a second unit, and what an improvement! Here is what the second unit produced at the same five yards:
Much, much better! However, when you push this out to fifty, or one hundred yards you are still going to end up with quite a deviation off of center.
I was initially going to give this product a poor review. You can't follow the
enclosed instructions and have it be very useful. However, after looking at a similar unit
from another manufacturer with a different set of instructions, I realized that this product
is still useful. Here is how I recommend you use this unit:
• Set up your rifle, shotgun, or pistol in a vice.
• Find the appropriate arbor for the barrel, and assemble the device.
• The screw is on the barrel side. You turn the screw clockwise to expand it to fit the barrel. It will take a little trial and error, but eventually you get a snug fit.
• Now that everything is together you can turn the laser on if you are ready to sight in.
• Hang your target/paper where the laser is shining on it.
• Here is where it is a little bit different. Go to the target/paper and make a mark where the laser is shining.
• Go back to the weapon and either turn the laser one quarter turn; or pull the laser out rotate one quarter turn, and reinsert.
• Go back to the paper and mark where the laser is shining.
• Repeat the last three steps two more times. You should end up with a target/paper that has four marks on it.
• Find the center of the four marks. This is your actual zero point. You can either aim directly for it or make rough adjustments for elevation depending on distance.
There are several things I like about this product. The first being that it makes it easier and more convenient to mount a new scope, or verify zero especially for weapons that don't have a removable bolt. The second thing I also really liked is the ability of this device to fit such a wide range of calibers. The item is also extremely portable and compact.
There were two huge negatives to me. The first is the inconsistency between the two units I received. I don't know if the first one was a weird anomaly, or whether it is indicative of a larger manufacturing or quality control problem. The second issue has to do with the instructions. If the instructions told you to use the product the way I described, I probably would not have known there was an issue with the first one. If they changed the instructions I would wager their customer satisfaction with the unit would improve significantly
After a rocky start I am impressed with the product. I definitely have uses for this item. It means I can do some preliminary work in my home or yard. It means I get the most out of my limited range time. It reduces the number of rounds I need to fire to sight in, which is nice for those of us who fire expensive rounds, or high power cartridges. I would recommend this item to anyone who does preliminary sighting with multiple calibers, especially where there is no way to visually bore sight.
Update- While evaluating the product further, and discussing it with other people. The point was raised that one could simply tighten the laser head all the way down, make a mark, loosen just the laser head one quarter turn, make a mark, and repeat twice. This would eliminate the need to rotate the entire boresighter in the barrel.

Subcommittee Approves Legislation to Protect Jobs from EPA's Unworkable Rules
WASHINGTON, DC - The Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy and Power, chaired by Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), today approved legislation to protect hundreds of thousands of American jobs. H.R. 2250, the EPA Regulatory Relief Act, and H.R. 2681, the Cement Sector Regulatory Relief Act, aim to fix EPA's boiler and cement rules to ensure that they set achievable standards and allow for more reasonable compliance timelines. The bipartisan bills passed the panel by voice vote and now move to the full Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration.
H.R.2250, introduced by Reps. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) and G.K. Butterfield (D-GA), provides a legislative stay of EPA's boiler and incinerator rules which put over 200,000 jobs at risk. The bill requires EPA to re-propose the rules to ensure they are both technologically and economically achievable in the real world. The bill will protect against further jobs losses and give American businesses and institutions the certainty they need to expand and create jobs.
"I am proud to be able carry and defend this bipartisan compromise language," said Griffith. "Businesses need certainty and they need to know we are going to get the rules right. This bill simply gives us sufficient time to get the rules right when imposing such complex, expensive, and comprehensive rules on businesses that employ thousands of hardworking Americans."
H.R. 2681, introduced by Reps. John Sullivan (R-OK) and Mike Ross (D-AR), gives regulators additional time to develop workable rules for cement manufacturing facilities. Estimates show that EPA's current rules could shut down up to 20 percent of the nation's cement plants in the next two years, sending thousands of jobs overseas and driving up construction costs. This legislation will ensure the vitality of America's cement industry which is crucial to our nation's infrastructure projects -a key component of the president's jobs plan.
"Neither the cement nor the boiler bill was part of the President's jobs speech last week, but both should have been, as these bills clear away impediments to job creation in the years ahead," said Whitfield. "Both these bills restore the balance between our nation's economic and environmental goals."
"These bills are about a common-sense, pro-jobs approach to regulations. They simply require EPA to promulgate cement plant and boiler regulations that reduce emissions using reasonable and achievable targets and timetables. It is no surprise these bills enjoy bipartisan support, and I look forward to advancing them to the full committee for consideration," said Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI).

DeKalb's Committee of the Whole agenda for Monday includes a zombie ordinance.
Enclosed is an old draft of an ordinance prepared by Klein Thorpe, and Jenkins in which property maintenance items were at one time included in a former draft of the Chronic Nuisance ordinance.
The Housing Task Force rejected the ordinance, and Council already gave direction in this matter. Nevertheless, two council members (henceforth to be thought of as "Biernacki's poodles" due to my having drawn personal conclusions) requested it be brought back onto the agenda.
The DeKalb Area Rental Association (DARA) has responded by pointing out that the agenda addition brings building code into proposals that were meant only to address residents' behaviors.
What's wrong with that? Potentially plenty. It means the zombie provisions are not tweaks, but rather constitute a proposal for a MAJOR POLICY SHIFT from code enforcement being a primarily a "civilian" activity to becoming a police function.
There are a lot of implications — not the least of which is the elimination of Public Works jobs — and they deserve their own discussions on the merits.
Make the jump to read the memo on this agenda item. Read the rest of this entry

our city had trick or treats tonight, we had about 50 kids. my honey likes to dress up as a witch
It is funny how Halloween has evolved into a big holiday! When I was a young child, only kids 12 and under dressed up and went trick or treating. There were very few decorations, adult parties or costumes. When I went to college, we all dressed up and partied for Halloween. Now, people go crazy with their decorations! Many have living scary scenes that they act out for the trick or treaters (who are now up to 18 years old) Many adults have parties and costumes. It has really changed!

I use Stata 9.2 and am trying to convert K-M curves to black lines but with patterns. I have used both options without success:

plot1opts --> option plot1opts() not allowed
Any advice on this?

Groom, Ben, Koundouri, Phoebe, Nauges, Céline and Thomas, Alban (2008) The story of the moment: risk averse cypriot farmers respond to drought management. Applied Economics, 40 (3). pp. 315-326. ISSN 0003-6846
This article illustrates the importance of estimating risk preferences when evaluating water policy. Using agricultural production data from the Kiti region of Cyprus we estimate farmers' risk preferences à la Antle (Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, 1, 192–201, 1983, American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 69, 509–22, 1987) and show sensitivity to higher order moments of profit, such as skewness. We show that farmers in the Kiti region are risk averse with risk premiums in the region of 20% of expected profit. We use these estimates to analyse the impact of a water quota from the perspective of three policy-makers who differ only in their understanding of farmers' risk preferences. We show in the case of Kiti that policy-makers who model risk preferences incorrectly, that is, either; (a) assume risk neutrality or; (b) ignore down-side risk, wrongly predict the magnitude and direction of input responses and therefore the magnitude of welfare changes. This highlights the importance of accommodating preferences for higher order moments of profit in the evaluation of water policy.

The famadihana tradition on Madagascar is an exhumation ceremony in which the dead are taken from their tombs and rewrapped in fresh clothes. The festive atmosphere surprises outsiders who find it hard to understand the informality and familiarity that governs relationships between the living and the dead.

Chrysalid Requiem: Kyrie by Toby Twining
Toby Twining Music
Cantaloupe 21007
Toby Twining writes:
Rather than the commemoration of someone's death, I found other reasons for this requiem. The Latin words sing beautifully, cry for a wildly imaginative setting and resonate with layers of metaphor that suggest a complex musical fabric. I also composed a requiem because, like many people, I yearn for new meaning in our culture's worn-out rites of passage. The urgency of new music — that is, its capacity to express and answer simultaneously the collective yearnings of our time — sheds unexpected light on old truths.
→ Listen to an excerpt from Toby Twining's Chrysalid Requiem, and read the composer's testimonial
Khyal in Deshkar by Neela Bhagwat
Neela Bhagwat, vocal
Neela Bhagwat writes:
Most of the compositions in Deshkar depict devotees singing prayers to God, mainly Krishna, waking him up to pay attention to their affairs. I could never relate to these poems. However, I liked the mood of the raga, its bright hope-giving temperament. So when I was invited in 1986 to sing at the All India Womens' Conference, the occasion inspired me to interpret the raga. If, I thought, the raga has been used to wake up Gods, it can do so human being, [sic] for friends, who wish to come together to achieve some goals in life. That is Deshkar in my view!
Requiem, Op. 48: Pie Jesu by Gabriel Faure
English Chamber Orchestra; Philip Ledger, conductor; Arleen Auger, soprano
Angel/EMI 72811
Charlotte A. from New Jersey writes:
I would appreciate hearing Faure's "Requiem." This piece has meant a great deal to me personally upon the death of any of my loved ones. I think it would be especially appropriate in remembering the deaths of thousands of our fellow citizens on 9/11.
→ Read WNYC host John Schaefer's reflections on Faure's Requiem
Munyamaye by Hukwe Zawose
Hukwe Zawose, voice, thumb piano, violins, flute, ankle bells
Carol 2358-2
Translation from the album liner notes:
Quiet, we are singing.
Motiyani, are you crying?
Be calm, here we are far from home but can't you hear how our instruments cry?
Even a sick man will sit up to listen and enjoy.
We are here struggling, searching for life.
WTC 9/11 by Steve Reich
Kronos Quartet
Nonesuch pre-release
From an interview with Steve Reich on WNYC's Soundcheck:
In 2009, a request came from David Harrington of the Kronos Quartet for a 9/11-related piece using tape. The inspiration didn't come immediately. "Three or four months after David proposed this, I thought 'wait, a minute. I have unfinished business. Then it was crystal clear." Reich took the beeping pulse tone the phone company torments us with when we leave a land-line off the hook and made it the signature sound in WTC 9/11. But what's usually just annoying becomes more unsettling in the context of this three-movement piece.

Concert in memory of Alexander Yurlov by Georgy Sviridov
The Ural Choir; Vladislav Novik, conductor
Saison Russe 288145
Jeré Longman, writer
From "911 Voices," produced by WNYC (September 11, 2002)
Q2 writes:
Longman is the author of Among the Heroes: United Flight 93 and the Passengers and Crew Who Fought Back. His interview appeared in "911 Voices," produced by WNYC.
Three Arias, Sung out the Window Facing Mount Ararat: Lento, ma non troppo by Tigran Mansurian
Boston Modern Orchestra Project; Gil Rose, conductor; Kim Kashkashian, viola
From the album liner notes:
The piece begins with glistening quartet harmonies, somewhat suggestive of the mouth organs of Japanese and Chinese traditions, over which the viola begins to unfold its melody. The prayer is said, in musical words not so different from those of Armenia or Venice, that what we share in our common human nature may count for more than what we have made of ourselves.
Elegy On The Name "Dmitri Shostakovich" by Stephen Gerber
Kurt Nikkanen, viola
Naxos 559618
Fina DeGrijze, 9/11 mourner
Interviewed by Amy Eddings for WNYC News (October 28, 2001)
Q2 writes:
Fina DeGrijze attended a memorial service at Ground Zero to mourn her former colleagues. She worked at a travel agency — when her office moved, DeGrijze and some employees went to an office in midtown, while others went to work at the World Trade Center.
Symphony No. 3, Op. 36, "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs": Lento e Largo, Tranquillissimo by Henryck Gorecki
London Sinfonietta; David Zinman, conductor; Dawn Upshaw, soprano
Nonesuch 79282
Fotographist from Baltimore, MD writes:
"Gorecki's ""Symphony #3"" immediately comes to mind. I don't believe there has ever been a a comparable musical interpretation of loss during wartime.
Virginia from Chatham, NJ writes:
Not a requiem, per se, but a profoundly moving piece is ""A Symphony of Sorrowful Songs"". I forget whether it's by Gorecki or Aarvo Part, but in any case, I think it plumbs the depths of grief, and would be very appropriate for this occasion.

Lian Li PC-Q28 M-ITX Build Details
This section of the article is not so much of a full build log. I want to use this section to talk about some of the things I didn't like and issues I ran into while building a system inside the Lian Li PC-Q28 Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower PC Case. It's not doom and gloom by any means. This is an M-ITX pc case after all; building a powerful system into such a small enclosure is not meant to be easy. I don't think the PC-Q28 was built with All-In-One liquid coolers (or water cooling) in mind, but I persevered all the same and it paid off in the end.
Keeping the exterior styling the way Lian Li intended required using the exhaust fan to 'pull' air through the liquid cooling radiator. The fan screws are countersunk and sit flush in the top panel, whereas the case mounting screws supplied with my All-In-One liquid cooler weren't. Then there was the issue of the fan grill which meant the screws supplied with the liquid cooler weren't long enough to secure the radiator to the top panel of the case with the fan grill in place.
As you can see in the above image there was also the issue of installing the radiator to the fan. Once again the supplied screws were not long enough. I quick dig through my bits box later and I found just what I needed. These slightly longer screws solved both problems in one.
Mounting the All-In-One liquid cooler this way round also posed another issue; PSU clearance. In this orientation the pipes and filler cap of the cooler stopped me inserting the PSU all the way into the case by roughly 5mm. This was obviously a waste of time so I decided to make a compromise between exterior styling and functionality by using the longer silver screws to mount the radiator directly to the top panel of the case.
As you can now see there is no conflict between the liquid cooler pipes from the radiator and the PSU. There is also plenty of space for airflow too. Problem solved.
Cable routing or the lack of it is my other gripe with this case. Surely if you are telling enthusiasts that your M-ITX case can house an ATX PSU and a dual-slot video card then some sort of cable routing or hiding is needed. This one you will need to figure out for yourself, there are no hiding spots. your best bet is a modular PSU and only using the cables you 'need'.

The news my foster family has been waiting to hear since their hearts broke when I went away to Save-a-Pet shelter so many months ago- I've find my forever home! My foster family were understandably focused on their cat Stormy who was suddenly very ill and sadly went the the Bridge on February 29th, but they missed a happy miracle on February 28th when I went home! It sure took me long enough, but finally a special lady saw my potential and sure enough 3 hours in my new home I was lounging comfortably on the furniture and making my signature smug grin! She says I'm like a bowl of jelly- that must be a compliment on my lack of spine? I didn't get to go with my sister Zeary but it's okay- I will have some new adoptive feline siblings in my new home and my foster family suspected that me and Zeary were so different (I'm gentle, pretty calm, and get most of my energy out playing on my own- she's kinda feisty and loves nothing more than to play with people's hands or dangling hair) that the best home for me would probably not be a great match for her. Now she's free to look for a home with someone looking for a playful kitten type without the giant laid-back "jelly" brother bogging her down.
I'm really happy. My new mommy just loves me and tucks me in my very own little bed. I've got a bright future ahead of me! Wish me luck integrating with my new kitty siblings? I did really well with my foster aunt Tigger and foster uncle Max who are not known to appreciate kittens, and am probably the least pestering-of-older-cats kitten my foster parents ever worked with. Hopefully my new family won't be put off by my big bruiser physique and will see me for the gentle giant I really am!
"Teary!" Actually I was nicknamed Teary in my first foster home because of the way my markings kind of drip down past the inner corners of my eyes. So at least I'm used to being called "Teary" already. My lovely sister who started out "Noir" and became "Beauty" is now called "Zeary" to compliment me! We've been back in isolation here at Save-a-Pet because unfortunately our first round of de-worming didn't quite kill off all of the roundworms in one of us- but now we're all better and on display in the kitten room with lots of other young kitties. Please come by and meet us!
I'm not going to attend an adoption event this weekend with my sister Beauty. I'm going to go move in with her! We'll be at Save-a-Pet in Grayslake, a wonderful no-kill shelter where we'll be seen by lots of prospective adopters every day! I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to just be "Bob" there since there are soooo many cats- my foster mom will let everyone know if they give me a name alteration so people can ask to meet me! Wish me luck on this new adventure! It's a little scary leaving my nice comfortable foster home but it's a step closer to finding that perfect forever home!

"NFL rules say that, a stipulation, is that the music needs to be turned down with 20 seconds left on the play clock, when the opposing offense is on the field," Spadaro said. "So, Chip [Kelly], said well if there is no rule about when our offense is on the field, let's play the music. And his thought is, well, we're used to playing with the music. This perhaps limits the defenses ability to communicate or causes a little bit of confusion. Once the knee goes down and the play clock goes down to 40 seconds, the music goes on right up until the snap. The Eagles are getting all the music that they have at practice—they're used to it. They're are not confused. This is why they're doing it. Now what's going to happen, ultimately perhaps, the league is going to have to amend the rule or every other team in the league is going to try to do it."
I wasn't the only person who noticed this, because I had sports talk radio on this morning, and a lot of people were calling in to talk about how loud and constant the music was last night. The show's host said that it wasn't like that last week against the Patriots (probably because they know Belichick would've noticed what was going on and taken issue with it).

"About 1 out of 10 people has had a seizure. Do you know what to do if someone has a seizure near you? Read below to learn more.
About 1 out of 10 people has had a seizure. That means seizures are common, and one day you might need to help s"...
Mechanism Of Action
The precise mechanism by which tiagabine exerts its antiseizure effect is unknown, although it is believed to be related to its ability, documented in in vitro experiments, to enhance the activity of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. These experiments have shown that tiagabine binds to recognition sites associated with the GABA uptake carrier. It is thought that, by this action, tiagabine blocks GABA uptake into presynaptic neurons, permitting more GABA to be available for receptor binding on the surfaces of post-synaptic cells. Inhibition of GABA uptake has been shown for synaptosomes, neuronal cell cultures, and glial cell cultures. In rat-derived hippocampal slices, tiagabine has been shown to prolong GABA-mediated inhibitory post-synaptic potentials. Tiagabine increases the amount of GABA available in the extracellular space of the globus pallidus, ventral palladum, and substantia nigra in rats at the ED50 and ED85 doses for inhibition of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)induced tonic seizures. This suggests that tiagabine prevents the propagation of neural impulses that contribute to seizures by a GABA-ergic action.
Tiagabine has shown efficacy in several animal models of seizures. It is effective against the tonic phase of subcutaneous PTZ-induced seizures in mice and rats, seizures induced by the proconvulsant DMCM in mice, audiogenic seizures in genetically epilepsy-prone rats (GEPR), and amygdala-kindled seizures in rats. Tiagabine has little efficacy against maximal electroshock seizures in rats and is only partially effective against subcutaneous PTZ-induced clonic seizures in mice, picrotoxin-induced tonic seizures in the mouse, bicuculline-induced seizures in the rat, and photic seizures in photosensitive baboons. Tiagabine produces a biphasic dose-response curve against PTZ-and DMCM-induced convulsions, with attenuated effectiveness at higher doses.
Based on in vitro binding studies, tiagabine does not significantly inhibit the uptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, glutamate, or choline and shows little or no binding to dopamine D1 and D2, muscarinic, serotonin 5HT1A, 5HT2, and 5HT3, beta-1 and 2 adrenergic, alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenergic, histamine H2 and H3, adenosine A1 and A2, opiate μ and K1, NMDA glutamate, and GABAA receptors at 100 μM. It also lacks significant affinity for sodium or calcium channels. Tiagabine binds to histamine H1, serotonin 5HT1B, benzodiazepine, and chloride channel receptors at concentrations 20 to 400 times those inhibiting the uptake of GABA.
Tiagabine is well absorbed, with food slowing absorption rate but not altering the extent of absorption. The elimination half-life of tiagabine is 7 to 9 hours in normal volunteers. In epilepsy clinical trials, most patients were receiving hepatic enzyme-inducing agents (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone, and phenobarbital). The pharmacokinetic profile in induced patients is significantly different from the non-induced population (see PRECAUTIONS, General, Use in Non-Induced Patients). The systemic clearance of tiagabine in induced patients is approximately 60% greater resulting in considerably lower plasma concentrations and an elimination half-life of 2 to 5 hours. Given this difference in clearance, the systemic exposure after a dose of 32 mg/day in an induced population is expected to be comparable to the systemic exposure after a dose of 12 mg/day in a non-induced population. Similarly, the systemic exposure after a dose of 56 mg/day in an induced population is expected to be comparable to the systemic exposure after a dose of 22 mg/day in a non-induced population.
Absorption And Distribution
Absorption of tiagabine is rapid, with peak plasma concentrations occurring at approximately 45 minutes following an oral dose in the fasting state. Tiagabine is nearly completely absorbed (>95%), with an absolute oral bioavailability of about 90%. A high fat meal decreases the rate (mean Tmax was prolonged to 2.5 hours, and mean Cmax was reduced by about 40%) but not the extent (AUC) of tiagabine absorption. In all clinical trials, tiagabine was given with meals.
The pharmacokinetics of tiagabine are linear over the single dose range of 2 to 24 mg. Following multiple dosing, steady state is achieved within 2 days.
Tiagabine is 96% bound to human plasma proteins, mainly to serum albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein over the concentration range of 10 ng/mL to 10,000 ng/mL. While the relationship between tiagabine plasma concentrations and clinical response is not currently understood, trough plasma concentrations observed in controlled clinical trials at doses from 30 to 56 mg/day ranged from <1 ng/mL to 234 ng/mL.
Metabolism And Elimination
Although the metabolism of tiagabine has not been fully elucidated, in vivo and in vitro studies suggest that at least two metabolic pathways for tiagabine have been identified in humans: 1) thiophene ring oxidation leading to the formation of 5-oxotiagabine; and 2) glucuronidation. The 5-oxo-tiagabine metabolite does not contribute to the pharmacologic activity of tiagabine.
Based on in vitro data, tiagabine is likely to be metabolized primarily by the 3A isoform subfamily of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP 3A), although contributions to the metabolism of tiagabine from CYP 1A2, CYP 2D6 or CYP 2C19 have not been excluded.
Approximately 2% of an oral dose of tiagabine is excreted unchanged, with 25% and 63% of the remaining dose excreted into the urine and feces, respectively, primarily as metabolites, at least 2 of which have not been identified. The mean systemic plasma clearance is 109 mL/min (CV = 23%) and the average elimination half-life for tiagabine in healthy subjects ranged from 7 to 9 hours. The elimination half-life decreased by 50 to 65% in hepatic enzyme-induced patients with epilepsy compared to uninduced patients with epilepsy.
A diurnal effect on the pharmacokinetics of tiagabine was observed. Mean steady-state Cmin values were 40% lower in the evening than in the morning. Tiagabine steady-state AUC values were also found to be 15% lower following the evening tiagabine dose compared to the AUC following the morning dose.
Special Populations
Renal Insufficiency
The pharmacokinetics of total and unbound tiagabine were similar in subjects with normal renal function (creatinine clearance >80 mL/min) and in subjects with mild (creatinine clearance 40 to 80 mL/min), moderate (creatinine clearance 20 to 39 mL/min), or severe (creatinine clearance 5 to 19 mL/min) renal impairment. The pharmacokinetics of total and unbound tiagabine were also unaffected in subjects with renal failure requiring hemodialysis.
Hepatic Insufficiency: In patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B), clearance of unbound tiagabine was reduced by about 60%. Patients with impaired liver function may require reduced initial and maintenance doses of tiagabine and/or longer dosing intervals compared to patients with normal hepatic function (see PRECAUTIONS).
The pharmacokinetic profile of tiagabine was similar in healthy elderly and healthy young adults.
Tiagabine has not been investigated in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials in patients below the age of 12. The apparent clearance and volume of distribution of tiagabine per unit body surface area or per kg were fairly similar in 25 children (age: 3 to 10 years) and in adults taking enzyme-inducing antiepilepsy drugs ([AEDs] e.g., carbamazepine or phenytoin). In children who were taking a non-inducing AED (e.g., valproate), the clearance of tiagabine based upon body weight and body surface area was 2 and 1.5-fold higher, respectively, than in non-induced adults with epilepsy.
Gender, Race And Cigarette Smoking
No specific pharmacokinetic studies were conducted to investigate the effect of gender, race and cigarette smoking on the disposition of tiagabine. Retrospective pharmacokinetic analyses, however, suggest that there is no clinically important difference between the clearance of tiagabine in males and females, when adjusted for body weight. Population pharmacokinetic analyses indicated that tiagabine clearance values were not significantly different in Caucasian (N=463), Black (N=23), or Hispanic (N=17) patients with epilepsy, and that tiagabine clearance values were not significantly affected by tobacco use.
Interactions With Other Antiepilepsy Drugs
The clearance of tiagabine is affected by the coadministration of hepatic enzyme-inducing antiepilepsy drugs. Tiagabine is eliminated more rapidly in patients who have been taking hepatic enzyme-inducing drugs, e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone and phenobarbital than in patients not receiving such treatment (see DRUG INTERACTIONS).
Interactions With Other Drugs
See DRUG INTERACTIONS.
Clinical Studies
The effectiveness of GABITRIL as adjunctive therapy (added to other antiepilepsy drugs) was examined in three multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, clinical trials in 769 patients with refractory partial seizures who were taking at least one hepatic enzyme-inducing antiepilepsy drug (AED), and two placebo-controlled cross-over studies in 90 patients. In the parallel-group trials, patients had a history of at least six complex partial seizures (Study 1 and Study 2, U.S. studies), or six partial seizures of any type (Study 3, European study), occurring alone or in combination with any other seizure type within the 8-week period preceding the first study visit in spite of receiving one or more AEDs at therapeutic concentrations.
In the first two studies, the primary protocol-specified outcome measure was the median reduction from baseline in the 4-week complex partial seizure (CPS) rates during treatment. In the third study, the protocol-specified primary outcome measure was the proportion of patients achieving a 50% or greater reduction from baseline in the 4-week seizure rate of all partial seizures during treatment. The results given below include data for complex partial seizures and all partial seizures for the intent-to-treat population (all patients who received at least one dose of treatment and at least one seizure evaluation) in each study.
Study 1 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial comparing GABITRIL 16 mg/day, GABITRIL 32 mg/day, GABITRIL 56 mg/day, and placebo. Study drug was given as a four times a day regimen. After a prospective Baseline Phase of 12 weeks, patients were randomized to one of the four treatment groups described above. The 16-week Treatment Phase consisted of a 4-week Titration Period, followed by a 12-week Fixed-Dose Period, during which concomitant AED doses were held constant. The primary outcome was assessed for the combined 32 and 56 mg/day groups compared to placebo.
Study 2 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial consisting of an 8-week Baseline Phase and a 12-week Treatment Phase, the first 4 weeks of which constituted a Titration Period and the last 8 weeks a Fixed-Dose Period. This study compared GABITRIL 16 mg BID and 8 mg QID to placebo. The protocol-specified primary outcome measure was assessed separately for each group treated with GABITRIL.
The following tables display the results of the analyses of these two trials.
Table 1: Median Reduction and Median Percent Reduction from Baseline in 4-Week Seizure Rates in Study 1

Figures 1 to 4 present the proportion of patients (X-axis) whose percent reduction from baseline in the all partial seizure rate was at least as great as that indicated on the Y axis in the three placebo-controlled adjunctive studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3). A positive value on the Y axis indicates an improvement from baseline (i.e., a decrease in seizure rate), while a negative value indicates a worsening from baseline (i.e., an increase in seizure rate). Thus, in a display of this type, the curve for an effective treatment is shifted to the left of the curve for placebo.
Figure 1 indicates that the proportion of patients achieving any particular level of reduction in seizure rate was consistently higher for the combined GABITRIL 32 mg and 56 mg groups compared to the placebo group in Study 1. For example, Figure 1 indicates that approximately 24% of patients treated with GABITRIL experienced a 50% or greater reduction, compared to 4% in the placebo group.
Figure 1
Study 1
Figure 2 also displays the results for Study 1, which was a dose-response study, by treatment group, without combining GABITRIL dosage groups. Figure 2 indicates a dose-response relationship across the three GABITRIL groups. The proportion of patients achieving any particular level of reduction in all partial seizure rates was consistently higher as the dose of GABITRIL was increased. For example, Figure 2 indicates that approximately 4% of patients in the placebo group experienced a 50% or greater reduction in all partial seizure rate, compared to approximately 10% of the GABITRIL 16 mg/day group, 21% of the GABITRIL 32 mg/day group, and 30% of the GABITRIL 56 mg/day group.
Figure 2
Study 1
Figure 3 indicates that the proportion of patients achieving any particular level of reduction in partial seizure rate was consistently greater in patients taking GABITRIL than in those taking placebo in Study 2 (Study 2 compared placebo to GABITRIL 32 mg/day; one of the GABITRIL groups received 8 mg QID, while the other GABITRIL group received 16 mg BID). For example, Figure 3 indicates that approximately 7% of patients in the placebo group experienced a 50% or greater reduction in their partial seizure rate, compared to approximately 23% of patients in the GABITRIL 8 mg QID group and 28% of patients in the GABITRIL 16 mg BID group.
Figure 3
Study 2
Study 3 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial that compared GABITRIL 10 mg TID (N=77) with placebo (N=77). In this trial, patients were followed prospectively during a 12-week Baseline Phase and then randomized to receive study drug during an 18-week Treatment Phase. During the first 6 weeks of treatment (Titration Period), patients were titrated to 30 mg/day, after which they were maintained on this dose during the 12-week Fixed-Dose Period. The protocol-specified primary outcome measure (proportion of patients who achieved at least a 50% reduction from baseline in partial seizure rate) did not reach statistical significance. However, analyses of the median reduction from baseline in 4-week partial seizure rate (the analyses presented above for Study 1 and Study 2) were performed and showed a statistically significant improvement compared to placebo in all partial and complex partial seizure rates (Table 3):

‡ N=72 and 75 for placebo and GABITRIL, respectively.
Figure 4 indicates that the proportion of patients achieving any particular level of reduction in seizure activity was consistently higher in those taking GABITRIL than those taking placebo in Study 3. For example, Figure 4 indicates that approximately 5% of patients in the placebo group experienced a 50% or greater reduction in their partial seizure rate compared to approximately 10% of patients in the GABITRIL group.
Figure 4
Study 3
The two other placebo-controlled trials that examined the effectiveness of GABITRIL were small cross-over trials (N=46 and 44). Both trials included an open Screening Phase during which patients were titrated to an optimal dose and then treated with this dose for an additional 4 weeks. After this Open Phase, patients were randomized to one of two blinded treatment sequences (GABITRIL followed by placebo or placebo followed by GABITRIL). The Double-Blind Phase consisted of two Treatment Periods, each lasting 7 weeks (with a 3 week washout between periods). The outcome measures were median with-in patient differences between placebo and GABITRIL Treatment Periods in 4-week complex partial and all partial seizure rates. The reductions in seizure rates were statistically significant in both studies.
Animal Toxicology
In repeat dose toxicology studies, dogs receiving daily oral doses of 5 mg/kg/day or greater experienced unexpected CNS effects throughout the study. These effects occurred acutely and included marked sedation and apparent visual impairment which was characterized by a lack of awareness of objects, failure to fix on and follow moving objects, and absence of a blink reaction. Plasma exposures (AUCs) at 5 mg/kg/day were equal to those in humans receiving the maximum recommended daily human dose of 56 mg/day. The effects were reversible upon cessation of treatment and were not associated with any observed structural abnormality. The implications of these findings for humans are unknown.
