'Defiance' attempts blend of TV series, video game

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Earth is recovering from an apocalyptic event, alien races cooperate warily, a wise-cracking outsider suddenly finds himself shouldering new responsibilities.
Yes, the world of "Defiance" features familiar sci-fi touchstones, but it's taken an ambitious approach to how you can experience them: Through both a weekly TV series and an online-only video game.
Five years in the making, the joint project is the most high-profile and big-budget attempt at ongoing "transmedia" entertainment, promising characters and storylines that crisscross between the Syfy network show and Trion Worlds game.
Set in 2046 on a "terraformed" Earth where humans live alongside seven alien species, the series premiering Monday displays a space Western vibe with bar brawls, interspecies politics and love, plus actors familiar to genre fans like Julie Benz and Jaime Murray. The already-released game, a multiplayer third-person shooter, has plenty of guns to upgrade, quests for supplies, and boss battles in which players cooperate to bring down giant monsters.
Though they can be experienced separately, somebody who both plays the game and watches the show will gain an extra layer of insight to each, promises actor Grant Bowler, who appears in both. Bowler said he was impressed and a bit wary of that idea when he signed on to play lead Joshua "Jeb" Nolan, who becomes "lawkeeper" of the city of St. Louis, renamed Defiance by survivors.
"I thought 'Gee, this thing is either going to change the business model of how we make television, and add a new one, or we're going to go screaming down in flames,'" he said. "But either is — funnily enough — fine with me."
It's a strategy fraught with challenges. Time and again, games based on successful series or movies have flopped, as have movies or series based on hit games.
"When you take the synthesis of the game and the show together, you're at a whole new level of excitement, you're at a whole new level of difficulty," Bowler said in an interview. "You also increase your chances of blowing it exponentially. Because it's not like one plus one. It's more you're cubing the level of difficulty. Which is why nobody has ever attempted to do it in as integrated a way as we've done it before."
Bowler began his work on the project by doing motion-capture performance for the game-makers. They asked how his character would act before he'd had a chance to consult with a show-runner or writer, "which is odd for an actor. You're used to having a director … Here it was the lunatics were running the asylum."
Since then, each company created new positions in order to pass information along to the other and bring their production schedules into harmony.
There still were "a lot of occasions" in which ideas put forth by one company were shot down by the other for technical reasons, Bowler said. And at least at first, there's no "interactive" storytelling in which players' choices or actions cause substantive show changes from week to week: Choose Your Own Adventure TV.
"The nature of incorporating … two very, very different delivery systems is incredibly problematic," Bowler said. "How you would do it in a more immediate, spontaneous way, I don't know. I think maybe our experience, what we're attempting to do, will move us closer to being able to see that idea."

Some companies grow the old fashioned way (organically). Others expand their footprint through mergers and acquisitions. Either way, companies can face "growing pains" when it comes to managing security operations. For example, companies that grow organically tend to add physical security systems with each changing of the guard, as new management comes in. More often than not, acquired companies arrive with their own set of preferred security systems, policies and procedures, making for a less than harmonious union with their new parent company.
How can large security companies deal with such problems? While some would advocate for standardizing one preferred solution over another, the full rip and replace approach is not always practical from a pure dollars and cents standpoint.
Thankfully, there is a middle ground:PSIM. An open, overlay, vendor-agnostic solution, PSIM can integrate multiple access control, intrusion detection, VMS (Video Management Systems) and other security sub-systems together to form a common operating picture, so control room operators never even have to know that there are different brands of systems working behind the scenes.
Is your expanding company facing security growing pains? If so I invite you toread this article I recently wrote for SecurityInfoWatch.com where I reveal nine ways that PSIM can help.

Full Gospel Fellowship shall be to emphasize, encourage, and promote apostolic ministry, to promote unity and fellowship among all the members of the Body of Christ; to provide ways and means by which these objectives may be obtained. This body is and always shall remain only and solely a medium through which Full Gospel Fellowship churches may work harmoniously in cooperation with each other promoting the work and objectives set forth in the Fellowship Constitution. Â It is not, to any degree, and never shall have any ecclesiastical or hierarchical authority over its members. It shall not have and never shall attempt to exercise a single attribute of power or authority over any church, or over the messengers of the churches in such wise as to limit the sovereignty of the churches, but shall recognize the sovereignty of the churches under one Sovereign, the Lord Jesus Christ. Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches and Ministers International
For over forty years our Fellowship has followed the vision of Gordon Lindsay and the men who established this great Fellowship. We celebrated that fortieth anniversary in our International Convention in 2002. Truly the vision was inspired by God and has kept us focused and inspired for these many years. Prov. 29:18 The New American Bible without prophecy the people become demoralized…" This vision has provided the parameters for who we are, and what we do, past, present and future. The Constitution by which we are governed spells out the vision very clearly.
The Lord has honored the faith and commitment of both the leaders and the members, and has truly brought us this far by faith. We are poised for our greatest days of growth and ministry. With our beautiful headquarters building, and outstanding office staff, the needs of our membership are better facilitated than ever before. Our National and International Regions are led by anointed men and women. Our Executive and International Boards work harmoniously together to provide cohesive leadership. Best of all the blessing of the Lord rests upon us in a precious way.
We are very grateful for the lives and ministries of those who have gone before us. They, as David, served their generation by the will of God. They kept the vision alive for all of us. May God help all of us to serve our generation by the will of God, and keep the vision alive and vital for those who will follow us, or until Jesus comes.
It was in 1948 that The Voice of Healing was formed by Gordon Lindsay and Jack Moore, and later T. L. Osborn, Jack Coe, Richard Vineyard, F. F. Bosworth, Kenneth Hagin, Gayle Jackson, Raymond T. Richie, W. V. Grant, Louise Nankeville and others. So powerful was this healing revival that soon approximately 100 evangelists formed a fellowship electing Gordon as president.
It was when pastors, missionaries, evangelists, teachers and churches – some who had left their denominations to become Full Gospel – urged for a linkage with those of like-precious-faith, that the need for a fellowship was spawned. it became very evident that all these leaders needed to plan and work together to become a strong force to reap the whitened harvest.
So Gordon called a meeting for a two-day conference, held September 18 & 19, 1962 at the Baker Hotel in Dallas for interested ministers. Plans were laid and the Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches & Ministers International was born. Temporary officers were elected to serve until the great National Convention in latter part of June of 1963. John Mears President, J.C. Hibbard Vice-President, Gordon Lindsay Secretary-Treasurer, W. A. Raiford Executive Secretary. June 28, 1963, A. C. Valdez was elected president. On June 16, 1964, the second FGFCMT convention was held in Plankinton Hotel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The years since, God has continued to use this Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches & Ministers International organization to bless ministers and ministries all over the world. Strong leadership has been raised up, and accountability, so essential to stability in every life, has been offered. Now a minister looking for those of like-precious- faith can find it in The Fellowship-no longer thinking that "I am the only one still serving God."
Mrs. Gordon (Freda) Lindsay
Christ For The Nations
The Fellowship does not license or ordain ministers, but recognizes such ministerial status. The Fellowship believes it is the function of the local Church, Bible College, Seminary, etc. to perform such ceremonies. If you wish to obtain such Ministerial Status, you need to approach your local Pastor, local Church, Seminary, Bible College, or a Pastor/Church that knows of you and ask about their procedures and requirements. Many times these services are done in an office or in a special Church Service. (NOTE: You may be required to serve "internship"). The Fellowship urges Pastors and Churches to use great wisdom in matters of Licensing or Ordination, as the Ministry is a most solemn calling.
The Fellowship issues a certificate to the Ministerial members recognizing their status and showing when their Licensing or Ordination was conferred. All members also receive a wallet-sized identification card verifying their ministerial status. These items show that you as a minister are recognized by and are in affiliation with an organization that has National and International scope. If you plan to minister to those in prisons, hospitals, or other institutions, this recognition by a recognized organization is helpful in gaining admittance and oftentimes necessary.
We recognize three levels of Ministry:
(1) Christian Workers sometimes called Exhorters;
(2) those who have been Licensed;
(3) those who have been Ordained (Ordination).
[vc_separator type='transparent' position='center' color=" thickness=" up=" down="]
Exhorter (Christian Workers or Gospel Workers): An Exhorter is a person who is recognized as a beginner in the ministry. The person may have the call of God upon their life, but have very little religious training, experience, and/or theological education. Many of those who are beginners or "Exhorters" will enroll in a correspondence course if they are unable to attend a Bible School or Bible College. Many times the Pastor of the Church recognizes the Call of God upon their lives and begins to instruct them in both theology and in the practical areas of leadership. The Pastor also may use that person in some areas of leadership, teaching or ministry in the local Church.
Licensed: A person who receives a License to Preach has been recognized by the Church and Pastors as an individual with the Call of God upon their lives, has leadership ability and some theological training and experience. Most of the time, this person will have completed some theological training (correspondence or Bible School) and will recognize his/her need for continual teaching, training and experience. If this person is truly called of God, they will apply themselves to study and prepare for the ministry that God has called them to. A person's ministry will always make room for him/her. Many states will not allow a Licensed Minister to perform weddings or to minister the sacraments of the Church unless the Licensed Ministers is serving as a pastor of a Church.
Ordained: Being an Ordained Minister is the highest calling that a person can have. An Ordained Minister is one who has a Call of God upon their lives and the Church, the Pastor and other Ministers recognize his/her training, experience and leadership ability. An Ordained Minister is one who has studied, and prepared himself or herself well either through formal training and education, or through training and working side by side with a pastor. It is recommended that a person serve at least one year as a Licensed Minister before being Ordained, giving time for that additional study, training and experience. As an Ordained Minister, he/she carries the full and highest level of authority to minister all of the sacraments of the Church, including communion, weddings, etc. This is not only a recognition by the Church, but by other Church Organizations and by the State and Federal government.
Licensed or Ordained – in many states you have to register in the county or state to be approved to perform weddings.

Boat possibly used by smugglers capsizes in Pescadero
ALAMEDA, Calif. - The Coast Guard began searching for possible missing people after a capsized vessel was found near Pigeon Cove in Pescadero Monday.
Bystanders reported to authorities around 11 a.m. that an 18 to 20-foot boat had capsized.
A Coast Guard helicopter crew and boat crews searched the area and found the boat, but didn't find any people. Responding agencies determined the boat was likely a panga.
Officials have seen a trend of smugglers coming from Mexico in panga boats, traveling farther north along the California Coast, taking longer routes and greater risks to evade patrols, Coast Guard officials sais.
"Fast 25- to 50-foot open-hull boats powered by two or more outboard motors, commonly referred to as 'pangas,' are used by smugglers to transport illegal drugs and people into the United States," said Capt. Greg Stump, Coast Guard Sector San Francisco commander.
The public is urged to report suspicious maritime activity by calling 911, or call the Department of Homeland Security Tip Line at 415-426-8815. All calls to the Tip Line are confidential and callers may remain anonymous.

The Nashville Predators defeated the Washington Capitals by a 2-0 score on Tuesday night in Baltimore at the First Mariner Arena to improve to 2-1 in the pre-season.
Nashville got goals from Chris Mueller and Colin Wilson on the night. Mueller also had an assist on Wilson's goal.
Both goalies for Nashville obviously played very well. No goals were surrendered to a very talented Capitals team, which is impressive even if it's a pre-season game.
By many accounts, the ice surface at the arena wasn't very good, so it's good that nobody was seriously injured in the exhibition game.
The Preds will head to Carolina on Friday to take on the Hurricanes at RBC Center at 6:00. On Saturday, the Preds will have their first home pre-season game of the year as they take on the Winnipeg Jets at Bridgestone Arena.

Q&A: John David Jackson
Photo: Reynaldo Sanchez/Acquinity Sports
John David Jackson never shied away from a challenge during his days as a two-time world champion boxer out of Colorado. He certainly doesn't do that now as a world-class trainer in South Florida. Having worked with some of the elite in the sport including Bernard Hopkins Shane Mosley and Nate Campbell, Jackson knows talent when he sees it. Lately he sees a lot of it in undefeated Russian light welterweight Khabib "The Hawk" Allakhverdiev (17-0, 8 KOs). Jackson is the man in charge of Khabib's corner when he faces former two-time world champion Joan "Little Tyson" Guzman (33-0-1, 20 KOs) this Friday night from The BB&T Center in Sunrise. At stake is the vacant WBA World light welterweight championship and an opportunity to catapult the young Russian into conversations about the one hundred forty pound division.
John, you watched Khabib develop his skills a couple of years ago in Hollywood FL, now you're training him for a world title fight. How has he changed since you last saw him?
You know Khabib is in tremendous condition. This is his life. Boxing is his world and he's taking this fight like any fighter should; by giving one hundred and ten percent of what he has. When I first got Khabib years ago he was still young in boxing and quite unsure of himself. Well, I've seen a transformation in this kid that's unbelievable. He's sure of himself now. He understands who Guzman is and what Guzman used to do. I say used to because he's thirty-six now and you can't do what you did when you were twenty-one. I don't care what they tell you, you can't do it. He's still a good fighter. Still crafty, still dangerous but not the guy he once was. It's Khabib's time. He wants this title. If Guzman is the killer they claim he is we'll see come Friday.
What are you guys expecting to see from Guzman on Friday?
Well first of all we expect him to make the weight. After that we'll see.
I've watched his last few fights and I watched his earlier fights. He no longer does what he did when he was a young man and that's understandable. When you get older in boxing, you have to change your style. But now he sits in the pocket a lot, which makes an easy fight for Khabib. Not saying that Khabib's gonna go crazy but there's certain strategies for this fight that we've worked on. Guzman uses a lot of head and upper shoulder movement and that's ok. We're not worried about the head right now. You're not gonna hit Guzman in the head; he's very evasive. He's been that way his whole career; he's got that natural radar built in. I understand that well because our styles are similar.
I told Khabib he may lose the first four rounds because Guzman is gonna come out fresh. But let's see what happens from the fifth round into the second half of the fight. Let's see if he can stand the pressure we're gonna put on him and keep the same grind going he did the first four rounds. We'll see what Guzman's made of. He's talking a good game right now but Khabib's a dangerous kid. Once that bell rings he's gonna come at you from round one to round twelve if it goes that long.
And Khabib's a dedicated body puncher so that kind of fits right into his action plan.
Yes, yes. The fight plan I've put forth, he loves it. He thanks me because I've studied Guzman, I've studied his style and it is similar to my style. The things I've told Khabib, if he does them, he should come out victorious. Maybe Guzman could surprise all of us and come out with Superman-type strength that night and do his thing. And if he does, God bless him.
But, I feel in the long run, Khabib will be able to outshine him because of the pressure that he's gonna put on him. I've never seen Guzman fight that kind of non-stop style for twelve rounds. If you didn't do it when you were a young man, I don't see you doing it when you're thirty-six.
You got two problems. You're trying to make weight, that's your first problem. Now you can say you made the weight but I can see you haven't. I can see it in his face. So guess what? Now you gotta fight the weight first and come fight night now you gotta fight the kid. Listen, hopefully there's not a weight problem.
That way when they both fight, it's just two good fighters and may the better man win.

Panthers ambush favorite Phoenix in overtime
Team one win away from NCAA berth
Ashwaubenon – What a shocker it was.
Unheralded UW-Milwaukee, picked for last place in the Horizon League, ambushed overwhelming favorite UW-Green Bay Saturday night to move one victory away from an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.
The Panthers (20-13) toppled their I-43 archrival, 73-66, in overtime before a crushed crowd of 7,113 at the 9,606-seat Resch Center.
Fifth-seeded UWM, a rebuilt team with 10 of its 19 players either junior-college or transfers from four-year schools, will meet third-seeded Wright State (20-13) at 6 p.m. Tuesday for the title at the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio.
After his second-seeded Cleveland State team fell to Wright State, 68-63, in the first semifinal, Vikings coach Gary Waters flippantly said, "If Milwaukee some miraculous way should win tonight, they're going home and they (Wright State) are going to the NCAAs."
UWM will seek its fourth NCAA berth against a team it lost to in Dayton, 73-57, on Jan. 21 and then defeated, 68-64, in Milwaukee 10 days later.
Wright State starts five seniors, and its top two reserves are juniors.
"We're going to Wright State, and that's a tough place to play," UWM coach Rob Jeter said. "Everyone picked us last. OK, probably deserved that coming off the season we had.
"I'm not going to say we played this way all season. We haven't. But down the stretch we have."
UWGB (24-6) is now in serious jeopardy of not gaining an at-large berth, something that is few and far between for mid-major conference teams. The school was hoping for its first NCAA bid in 18 years.
"I'd love for them to still consider us," coach Brian Wardle said. "I don't know what the (selection) committee is going to think. I know we've had a great year. I know this loss hurts.
"I think this team can play with anyone and play on that (NCAA) stage. Tonight is definitely a setback for us. Let's be honest."
The Phoenix became the first No. 1 seed in the Horizon to lose its opening game since Butler in 2002.
Since the Horizon went to a double-bye for the top two seeds 11 years ago, no team seeded lower than No. 3 has won the league.
Matt Tiby's assist pass to fellow post man Kyle Kelm for a dunk got the Panthers off to a quick start in overtime.
UWGB tied on a jam by Greg Mays, which turned out to be its last basket.
"This wasn't our goal," Mays said. "We have to deal with it now. This is terrible, to me."
Irrepressible guard Jordan Aaron put UWM in front with one of two free throws, UWGB's Keifer Sykes missed and Kelm scored on a rebound for a 3-point lead.
Sykes missed a 5-foot banker and teammate Jordan Fouse then threw the ball away on the ensuing inbounds pass.
Aaron made a sensational 12-foot baseline shot falling away from a defender and it was 69-64 with 22 seconds left.
UWGB had a chance after Sykes made two free throws and Tiby made a bad inbounds pass. But, at the 13-second mark, Sykes missed again in traffic and Tiby clutched the clinching rebound.
UWGB trailed by as many as 10 early in the second half before starting its comeback.
Playing on a bad ankle and knee, Sykes scored 13 points in the second half before the Phoenix finally took the lead, 50-48, on a three by 7-1 Alec Brown.
UWM trailed by four, 62-58, after Carrington Love made two free throws with 1:15 remaining.
Aaron challenged the defense on a drive, was fouled and made both free throws at the 57.3-second mark. After a UWGB timeout, Brown tried an ill-advised three and missed.
Aaron, covered by the 6-7 Fouse down the stretch, beat his man on another burst into the lane and scored with 15 seconds showing.
A contested drive on the right side by Sykes in the last two seconds failed and brought overtime.
Remarkably, the Phoenix didn't convert a field-goal attempt longer than 12 feet in the first half and understandably trailed, 28-19. Its only lead, 9-8, lasted 14 seconds.
The two teams scored merely 15 points in the first 10 minutes, and all four three-pointers in the half were made by UWM.
Brown was awful from the perimeter and the paint, going 0 for 7 from the field against post defenders Tiby and Kelm. UWGB looked tentative and sluggish, like a team that was feeling pressure and hadn't played in seven days.
It got so bad that Wardle used two timeouts within the span of 1:16.
Held scoreless, Sykes suffered an injury to his left ankle with 7:12 left in the half. Returning after being retaped in the locker room, he fell hard trying to cover Aaron on a made three and sat out another 1 ½ minutes.
Mays took a seat for the last 14 minutes of the first half with two fouls as UWM built a lead that reached 13 points.
Aaron led all scorers with 28 points, giving him 84 in three games against the Phoenix.
"Jordan Aaron obviously is an issue for us," Wardle said. "We wanted to trap him a little bit more in the second half and try to get it out of his hands. But he just kept crossing over and going the other way, and they kept rescreening and he kept making big shots.
"I give him a lot of credit. Jordan Fouse did a good job on him. He just made a couple ridiculous shots over the top of him."
Jeter suspended Aaron for four games of a five-game stretch late in the season for violating team rules.
"Jordan's really shown incredible leadership through the most difficult times for him," said Jeter. "Steve (McWhorter) running our team has shown incredible leadership. Then (Matt) Tiby with his energy.
"More importantly, we're representing Milwaukee the way it should be represented. That's the thing I'm most proud of. These guys keeping finding a way. Tonight, it was good enough to get a win over the best team in the league."
Wardle revealed that Sykes suffered a mild hyperextended knee when he slipped Friday halfway through practice at the Resch.
Later, Sykes suffered the ankle injury and was in and out. The Horizon's player of the year played 37 minutes and scored 15 points.
"Obviously, Keifer rolling his ankle slowed him down just enough so we could guard him," Jeter said. "We needed to catch a break, and I thought we caught one.
"I don't want to downplay our performance but Keifer, he battled through it. I thought he showed incredible toughness to do that for his team."
Meanwhile, Wardle said Brown was being treated by the medical staff after the game for what the coach said was a shoulder injury that he suffered midway through the first half.
In 35 minutes, he scored 9 points on 3 of 14 shooting and had just four rebounds.
"He went up for a block," said Wardle. "He just felt a little pain through his arm. We had to get him out until he got a little feeling back in it. I don't know if it was his hand or not.
"He came back and he felt better. It was an odd game coaching with guys going down. Maybe that hurt our rhythm but we still had the lead."
The Phoenix won the regular-season championship with a 14-2 record, two games better than Cleveland State.
"You've got to have tournaments," said Wardle. "It's March Madness. It's school spirit. That's what it's all about. It's do or die. You've got to step up.
"We were ready to play. We just couldn't get the ball to fall for us in the first 10 minutes. We just didn't get it done."

I think that clubs and teams at school should be a part of a teacher's job no matter what the change in their contract is.
Teachers have always participated in extracurricular activities and provided clubs and teams for students, and I don't think it is fair if they decide to unexpectedly stop.
They should not be punishing the students for something they have no control over and can't do anything about. It is important not only for kids but for adults to get physical activity and to participate and gain social skills.
So, I think clubs and teams are beneficial to both students and teachers.
Teachers always say that students need to try their best to participate in as many extracurricular activities as they can but taking them all away, due to their own problems, doesn't give the students a chance to do so.

We are writing to you from Hong Kong China and what a place it is.
We arrived in Hong Kong at around 8pm after an 8 hour and an emotional goodbye with friends and family in Brisbane. We discovered that Hong Kong is a city of bright lights, fog and water after catching a bus from the airport to our guest house in Tsim Tsim Tsui in Kowloon.
Our bus dropped us off at the street corner near our guest house so we had to hoof it down the street keeping our eyes peeled for Lee Garden Guest House. We finally found the entrance to the hotel which consisted of a small door on the street surrounded by shops selling everything from reindeer antlers to the last Dior watch.
The only thing I can say about our room is that it was tiny. So tiny that it only just fit David and I and the bed in. We had our own bathroom in which the shower was over the toilet. Needless to say we did not use the shower that night.
Once we arrived we went for a walk down to the harbour walk which was simply beautiful. Hong Kong is a beautiful city especially by night, its called Pearl of the Orient. All you can see as far as the eye can see are lights on highrises reflecting on both sides of the harbour. It was especially colourful because a lot of the buildings had lighting designs to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Grabbed some BBQ chicked and Beef from the side of the street which set us back about $10 Aus.
Anyway I'm going to bed because I'm exhausted.
Amy (and David).

A Step Toward Justice in College Sports?
If you were going to hold up a school as being exemplary in the way it puts athletics in, as they say, "the proper perspective," Northwestern University would certainly be one you'd point to. For instance, although it lacks the kind of winning tradition - at least in the big-time sports - that other schools in the Big Ten can boast of, it proudly points to the 97 percent graduation rate of its athletes.

Tocopherols and Tocotrienols
1. Structure and Biosynthesis
Tocopherols constitute a series of related benzopyranols (or methyl tocols) that occur in plant tissues and vegetable oils and are powerful lipid-soluble antioxidants. In the tocopherols, the C16 side chain is saturated, and in the tocotrienols it contains three trans double bonds. Together, these two groups are termed the tocochromanols. In essence, the tocopherols have a 20-carbon phytyl tail (including the pyranol ring), with variable numbers of methyl groups attached to the benzene ring, and the tocotrienols a 20-carbon geranylgeranyl tail with double bonds at the 3', 7' and 11' positions, attached to the benzene ring. The side-chain methyl groups of natural tocopherols have R,R,R stereochemistry. The four main constituents of the two classes are termed - alpha (5,7,8-trimethyl), beta (5,8-dimethyl), gamma (7,8-dimethyl) and delta (8-methyl). The tocotrienols have a single chiral centre.
These compounds are only synthesised by plants and other oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, such as algae and some cyanobacteria, but they are essential components of the diet of animals, and collectively they are termed 'vitamin E' (the individual tocopherols are 'vitamers'). In plants, there is a great range of tocochromanol contents and compositions, and photosynthetic plant tissues contain from 10 to 50 μg tocochromanols per g fresh weight. Tocopherols are present in all photosynthetic organisms, but the tocotrienols are found only in certain plant families. α-Tocopherol is often the main tocochromanol in leaves. Seed oils are a major source for the human diet and the compositions of tocopherols in some unrefined oils are listed in Table 1. Sunflower and olive oils are good sources of α-tocopherol and palm oil of the tocotrienols. In general, tocotrienols tend to be abundant only in seeds and fruits, especially of monocots such as wheat, rice and barley, though a major commercial source is palm oil. In leaf tissue, α-tocopherol is often the main isomer, while γ-tocopherol is the primary tocopherol of many seeds.
|Table 1. Tocopherol and tocotrienol contents (mg/kg) in some seed oils
|* Abbreviations: T, tocopherol; TT, tocotrienol Data from: Gunstone, F.D., Harwood, J.L. and Padley, F.B. The Lipid Handbook (Second Edition) (Chapman & Hall, London)(1994).
The mechanism of biosynthesis of tocopherols is well understood, and involves coupling of phytyl diphosphate with homogentisic acid (2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid), followed by cyclization and methylation reactions.
The plant chloroplast is the site of biosynthesis, and the aromatic amino acid tyrosine can be considered the basic precursor. This is oxidized to p-hydroxypyruvic acid, which in the first committed step is converted to homogentisic acid by the enzyme p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase. Homogentisic acid is condensed with phytyl diphosphate in a reaction catalysed by a prenyl transferase to yield 2-methyl-6-phytyl-plastoquinol, which is first methylated to form 2,3-dimethyl-5-phytyl-1,4-benzoquinol and then converted by the enzyme tocopherol cyclase to γ-tocopherol. A further methylation reaction produces α-tocopherol, while modifications to the pathway produce β- and δ-tocopherols and plastoquinones. Tocotrienols result from a similar series of reactions but with geranylgeranyl diphosphate as substrate in the condensation step.
Fish contain an unusual tocopherol that has been termed marine-derived α-tocomonoenol that is found together with α-tocopherol in a wide range of marine fish species. It appears to be a more efficient scavenger of free radicals at low temperatures. A related isomer with a Δ11 double bond has been found in palm oil and kiwi fruit. Pumpkin seeds contain both α- and γ-tocomonoenols.
α-Tocopheryl phosphate has recently been detected at low levels in liver and adipose tissue, and it is possible that it may be a common constituent of animal and plant tissues.
α-Tocopherol is a minor but ubiquitous component of the lipid constituents of animal cell membranes, with estimates ranging from one molecule of tocopherol to from 100 to 1000 molecules of phospholipid, depending on the membrane. The hydrophobic tail lies within the membrane, as might be expected, and the polar head group is orientated towards the surface but below the level of the phosphate moieties of the phospholipids. There may be some limited hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups and phosphate depending on the degree of hydration of the membrane. On the other hand, there is a strong affinity of α-tocopherol for polyunsaturated fatty acids, where the chromanol unit may interact with the double bonds, suggesting that tocopherol is located deep within the membrane.
During the refining of vegetable oils, much of the natural tocopherols are lost or destroyed. Most commercial vitamin E is therefore prepared by chemical synthesis with trimethylhydroquinone and phytyl bromide as the precursors. The resulting product is a mixture of eight stereoisomers (from R,R,R to S,S,S methyl groups) of α-tocopherol, with the various stereoisomers differing by a factor of two in biologic activity, as a consequence of the stereochemistry of the 2 position (i.e. 2S-α- compared to 2R-α-tocopherol). It is usually administered as the acetate derivative in vivo. Tocopherols are not usually regarded as effective antioxidants in the polyunsaturated seed oils of commerce, and at higher concentrations can even act as pro-oxidants, although the reasons for this are not understood.
2. Biological Functions of Tocochromanols in Plants
In plants, tocochromanols are found almost exclusively in the chloroplasts, where they were long believed to be the most important of the antioxidant molecules, limiting the damage from photosynthesis-derived reactive oxygen species during conditions of oxidative stress, including high-intensity light stress. However, recent studies seem to suggest that they are just one of a number of different components that are involved in photoprotection. Certainly, any tocochromanol peroxy radicals formed must be converted back to the original compounds by the concerted action of other plant antioxidants, for example by ascorbate and glutathione. On the other hand, there is no doubt that tocopherols are essential for the control of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation during seed dormancy and germination of seedlings. In their absence, elevated levels of malondialdehyde and phytoprostanes are formed, and there can be inappropriate activation of plant defence responses.
There is evidence that tocopherols also play a part in intracellular signalling in plants in that they regulate the amounts of jasmonic acid (see our web page on plant lipoxins) in leaves, via modulating the extent of lipid peroxidation and gene expression, and so influence plant development and stress responses. Thus, by controlling the degree of lipid peroxidation in chloroplasts, they limit the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides required for synthesis of jasmonic acid, which in turn regulates the expression of genes that affect a number of stress conditions. In addition, tocopherols are required for the development of the cell walls in phloem transfer cells under cold conditions. It appears that α- and γ-tocopherol and the tocotrienols may each have distinct functions.
3. Tocopherols Metabolism in Animals
In animals, all tocopherols are absorbed to a similar extent in the intestines by mechanisms that are still obscure, and they are transported to the liver in chylomicrons mainly, but α-tocopherol is preferentially utilized and re-exported. This process is mediated by a specific tocopherol-binding protein (the α-tocopherol transfer protein) in the liver that has a marked affinity for α-tocopherol, transferring it to the plasma lipoproteins (mainly the VLDL (and thence to LDL) and HDL in humans) for transport to other tissues (together with much smaller amounts of γ-tocopherol). The "α-tocopherol salvage pathway" results in a 20- to 30-fold enrichment of α-tocopherol in plasma (average concentration 22-28 μM) relative to the other tocopherols.
The process of conservation of one specific tocopherol appears to determine the relative vitamin E activities of the tocopherols and tocotrienols in vivo, rather than their individual potencies as antioxidants as measured in model systems in vitro. Only α-tocopherol (including synthetic material) or natural mixtures containing this can be sold under the label 'Vitamin E'. However, the tocotrienols are more potent antioxidants, in vitro at least, while γ-tocopherol (which is relatively abundant in skin) has some specific biological properties that are distinct from those of α-tocopherol.
Transfer of tocopherols from the lipoproteins to peripheral tissues is promoted by the enzyme lipoprotein lipase. Concentrations of tocopherols can vary appreciably amongst tissues, with most in adipose tissue and adrenals, less in kidney, heart and liver, and least in the erythrocytes.
Most of the tocochromanols other than α-tocopherol, together with any excess of the latter, are selectively metabolized in the liver. The unwanted surplus may be excreted in the urine in the form of the so-called 'Simon metabolites', α-tocopheronic acid and α-tocopheronolactone, after oxidative cleavage of much of the phytyl tail. However, these are normally in the form of conjugates as sulfate or glucuronidate esters.
The first step in catabolism is ω-hydroxylation by cytochrome P450 (CYP4F2) at the 13' carbon to form a 13'-hydroxychromanol, followed by stepwise β-oxidation to cut off two or three carbon moieties from the phytyl chain in each cycle. Various carboxychromanol intermediates have been identified for all of the tocopherols together with sulfated forms of these in human cell cultures in vitro.
4. Tocopherols as Antioxidants
Although the syndrome associated with a lack of vitamin E in the diet of animals has been well known for decades, the mode of action and specific location of tocopherols in cell membranes are not clearly understood. Several theories have been proposed to explain their functions. It is evident that their primary task is to act as antioxidants to prevent free radical damage to unsaturated lipids or other membrane constituents and thence to tissues, although it has been suggested somewhat controversially that this may be secondary to more important biological functions (see below). That said, there is no doubt that tocopherols are powerful antioxidants in vitro and in vivo. They are certainly extremely useful as antioxidants in nonbiological systems, including foods, cosmetics, pharmaceutical preparations and so forth.
Because of their lipophilic character, tocopherols are located in the membranes or with storage lipids where that are immediately available to interact with lipid hydroperoxides. They react rapidly in a nonenzymic manner unlike many other cellular antioxidants, which are dependent on enzymes, to scavenging lipid peroxyl radicals, i.e. the chain-carrying species that propagate lipid peroxidation. In model systems in vitro, all the tocopherols (α > γ > β > δ) and tocotrienols are good antioxidants, with the tocotrienols being the most potent.
In general, the oxidation of lipids is known to proceed by a chain process mediated by a free radical, in which the lipid peroxyl radical serves as a chain carrier. In the initial step of chain propagation, a hydrogen atom is abstracted from the target lipid by the peroxyl radical as shown -
The main function of α-tocopherol is to scavenge the lipid peroxyl radical before it is able to react with the lipid substrate as -
It thus prevents propagation of the chain reaction. The potency of an antioxidant is determined by the relative rates of reactions (1) and (2). Studies of the relative rates of chain propagation to chain inhibition by α-tocopherol in model systems have demonstrated that α-tocopherol is able to scavenge peroxyl radicals much more rapidly than the peroxyl radical can react with a lipid substrate.
In biological systems, oxidant radicals can spring from a number of sources, including singlet oxygen, alkoxyl radicals, superoxide, peroxynitrite, nitrogen dioxide and ozone. α-Tocopherol is most efficient at providing protection against peroxyl radicals in a membrane environment.
When a tocopheroxyl radical is formed, it is stabilized by delocalisation of the unpaired electron about the fully substituted chromanol ring system rendering it relatively unreactive. This also explains the high first order rate constant for hydrogen transfer from α-tocopherol to peroxyl radicals. Reaction of the tocopheroxyl radical with a lipid peroxyl radical, as illustrated, yields 8α-substituted tocopherones, which are readily hydrolysed to 8α-hydroxy tocopherones that rearrange spontaneously to form α-tocopherol quinones. In an alternative pathway, the tocopheroxyl radical reacts with the lipid peroxyl radical to form epoxy-8α-hydroperoxytocopherones, which hydrolyse and rearrange to epoxyquinones. Tocopherol dimers and trimers may also be formed as minor products.
In plant and animal tissues, tocopherols can be regenerated from the tocopheroxyl radicals in a redox cycle mediated by a number of endogenous antioxidants, including vitamins A and C and coenzyme Q, and this must greatly extend their biological potency. Vitamin C (ascorbate) may be especially important in aqueous systems, although it may also act at the surface of membranes.
However, it has been argued that data on the effects of vitamin E on biomarkers of oxidative stress in vivo are inconsistent, while oxidized metabolites of vitamin E, i.e. which have reacted as an antioxidant, are barely detectable in tissues. Thus, suggestions that dietary supplements of vitamin E may reduce the rate of oxidation of lipids in low-density lipoproteins and thence the incidence or severity of atherosclerosis now appear to be unfounded, although benefits in some conditions have been claimed. Indeed, there are suggestions that excessive vitamin E supplementation may even be harmful. A recent study has suggested that relatively high doses of natural α-tocopherol over a long period are required to demonstrate a significant reduction in the levels of F2 isoprostanes in the urine, which are considered to be the most reliable marker for oxidative stress in vivo. This subject is highly contentious and I prefer to leave it to the clinical experts.
5. Other Biological Functions of Tocochromanols
With the discovery that the antioxidant effects of various tocopherols and tocotrienols have little relation to their vitamin E activities in vivo has come a belief that they have may have other functions in tissues, most of which are specific to α-tocopherol. There are many fat-soluble antioxidants in the diet but only α-tocopherol is a vitamin. Indeed, it has even been suggested that tocopherol may be protected from functioning as an antioxidant in some tissues in vivo through a network of cellular antioxidant defences. Only when other antioxidants are exhausted are the tocopherols utilized. However, there is no experimental proof of this hypothesis. While it is certainly true that most other vitamins are essential cofactors for specific enzymes or transcription factors, no receptor that binds specifically to vitamin E has yet been discovered.
Other proposed functions not generally accepted include a role as a regulator of genes connected with tocopherol catabolism, lipid uptake, collagen synthesis, cellular adhesion, inflammation and cell signalling. It may also modulate the activity of several enzymes involved in signal transduction, and it has been suggested that it may have secondary roles in stabilizing the structure of membranes, in regulating haem biosynthesis, in modulating the immune response, and as a participant in electron transport chains. Some nonantioxidant effects of γ-tocopherol in tissues in relation to reactive nitrogen oxide species have been observed, but the specificity of these is not yet certain.
Tocotrienols have been shown to have neuroprotective effects, to inhibit cholesterol synthesis and to reduce the growth of breast cancer cells in vitro. These properties are largely distinct from those of the tocopherols, and the pharmaceutical potential of tocotrienols against cancer, bone resorption, diabetes, and cardiovascular and neurological diseases are currently being studied.
The biological function α-tocopheryl phosphate is not known, but it has been suggested that that it may be a storage or transport form or it could be involved in cellular signalling. Synthetic phosphate derivatives of γ-tocopherol and α-tocopheryl succinate are known to have potent anticancer properties.
6. Analysis
Tocopherols can be analysed by gas chromatography, both with flame-ionization and mass spectrometric detection, but the methods that are usually recommended involve high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (see our webpage on this topic). Related methods are used for ubiquinones and the isoprenoid alcohols.

This wonderful house enjoys a splendid position in an elegant sweeping crescent on the East Cliff with marvellous panoramic sea views. It was built in 1819; Samual Taylor Coleridge is recorded as having stayed here and as a princess Queen Victoria stayed in the house next door! The floors are original oak and rooms has been carefully decorated to reflect their Georgian heritage. All stairs are carpeted. There is a paved courtyard to the rear with garden furniture. The balcony enjoys fantastic views of the English Channel, Ramsgate Royal Harbour and beach. There is a table and cane chairs available to sit and enjoy the view and sunshine. The rooms are large and spread over 5 floors so that it is easy to find a quiet place as well as enjoy a gathering together in the communal rooms. Not suitable for the people with mobility difficulties,pets or children under 5 due to the numerous stairs.
Parking is on street free parking or metered parking 50 metres away. Good bus service.
The history: In common with Nelson Crescent its opposite number on West Cliff, Wellington Crescent first came into existence following the Napoleonic defeat at Waterloo in 1815. Before that the East Cliff was open countryside and was used during the summer months by the military with Canvas camps laid out and troops using the cliff for exercises and parades. It is believed that the columns along the crescent are cut from the masts of the French ships defeated in the battle.
In the 1700s during the Napoleonic times, Ramsgate became a garrison town and later developed as a seaside town when the aristocracy were forced to curtail their travelling and take their holidays in England. Handsome terraces and squares of Regency villas were built and today the Georgian architecture is evident on every corner. Many of the houses on the East Cliff were used as lodging houses for the rich and fashionable. Samuel Taylor Coleridge is recorded as having stayed at 28 Wellington Crescent between 1819 and 1833.
The history (cont.): Between 1843 and 1844 Augustus Pugin, a leader of Gothic Revival at this time built The Grange on the West Cliff at Ramsgate. Listed Grade 1, the house is now owned by the Landmark Trust and is open to the public. Pugin was one of the most influential architects of the nineteenth century and designed the interiors of the Houses of Parlament. In 1862 his son Edward Pugin designed St Augustine's Monastery opposite The Grange and also the Granville Hotel which is on the East Cliff.
Tha harbour dates from 1759 which established Ramsgate as a port for trade although there was a fishing village in Ramsgate long before that. in 1821 King George IV bestowed Royal status on the harbour - still the only one in England.
As a princess,Queen Victoria holidayed in Ramsgate several times - she stayed at Albion House which is just to the left of 28 Wellington Crescent. The Victorain artist Frith immortalised Ramsgate Sands in his painting 'A Day at the Seaside'. A copy is in the house.
Just wanted to say thanks again and to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at 28 Wellington Crescent. I have referred you to a number of people!
The property was ideal for us in every respect. Perfect location, charming accommodation well restored and maintained. If Linda and Graham allow....we hope to stay again.
This was our third stay in 'our' Ramsgate house, and we already look forward to going back. Spread over five floors with stunning views - especially the balcony off the sitting room. Brilliant new large shower is a recent addition. We were lucky enough to be there for the Dunkirk 'Little Boats' leaving Ramsgate, with lots going on round the harbour, which is a stone's throw away. We love this house and we can't wait to go back.
We found a comfortable house, warm and cosy, with an excellent view over the sea. The house provides a new main bathroom, with a new shower and a very big bathtub. When we entered, everything was in good order, ready and clean. Although a severe storm blew for three days the house remained warm. The kitchen is spaceful with an up to date dishwasher and a professional oven. We enjoyed a nice holiday and will come back soon.
A family with 3 children from Germany.
As return visitors we were really excited to stay at this property once again. However, upon our arrival at the property we were greeted with a scrawled message on a used envelope located stating that throughout our stay (3 weeks, booked 7 months in advance) tradesmen would be painting the outside of the building and window cleaners would also be visiting the property. While a little bit disappointed in the timeliness and form of communication (should we have been warned earlier that the property was undergoing renovations we would have sought accommodation elsewhere) my husband and I decided to not let it ruin our holiday and to proceed as normal. Initially we were glad to see that efforts had been made to seal the upstairs bedroom windows - an improvement on our last stay. However our expectations soon ended when we saw that a window on the top floor of the property could not close at all leaving a 3-4cm gap between it and the sill. The window itself lead onto the painters scaffolding allowing anyone to climb it and access the property. In hindsight we should have left the property then. We persevered only to find that the main bathroom had deteriorated somewhat, and that the shower drained at a snail's pace, tiles and grout fell away with every other use and to top it off, the owner had left a bucket full of dirty water in the corner of the room. Despite evidence of some cleaning having been attempted, the toilet also needed cleaning before use. Perhaps the worst incident occurred halfway through our stay when, taking a shower one morning (my husband and children were out at the time), a tradesmen entered the property without consent and continued to wander around until confronted. It was a completely horrific experience, one in which the owner seemed quick to dismiss. She claimed that he was an old friend, harmless and would never hurt ourselves or our property. Defiant until the end, I don't think that the owner understood that we had paid for a holiday rental and not to live on someone's construction site. Understandably, we will never return. Sadly we now also understand why the guest book laid empty for almost 18 months before our stay. Beware.
I had a wonderful time in this beautiful place and the location was great...easy walk to the local pubs and town. I would stay here again. Thanks Linda for your help and all the good Information and easy transactions.
I wanted a sandy beach holiday and my husband wasn't too sure about choosing Ramsgate, but there was no need to worry. We had 6 glorious days on the great beach just opposite the house - the Lift was a fantastic help - (no dogs allowed, lifeguard patrolled, and cleaned of litter every day).
But, the true star of our week was the house. As long as you don't mind stairs, 28, Wellington Crescent has everything you'd want for a relaxing, versatile holiday. We loved sitting on the terrace every evening and watching the array of boats sail back into the harbour and were treated to a firework display on our last night.
The Loop bus service was very convenient for Broadstairs and Margate and the Royal Harbour restaurants within walking distance - we went to the Oak Tavern twice. Ramsgate town centre was close - we cut through Albion Place gardens - pedestianised, had market days, lots of charity shops, had the essential Caffe Nero for my husband!
Thank you, Linda, for the obvious care you take to maintain the house and all its splendour - we had a a truly wonderful stay and I found myself missing the house for days after.
Ramsgate is on the tip of Kent in South East England with views across the Channel to France. The port has a great maritime history including power boat racing and sailing. With the marina nearby there are a wide range of bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from both on the harbour and also in the town. There is a local butcher, geengrocer,original shops and Waitrose within easy walking and markets on Friday and Saturday. Major retail shops can be reached by car or bus.
There is a tourist information office in Ramsgate. Canterbury has a beautiful cathedral and individual small shops.The Walpole Bay Hotel at Cliftonville is an hotel/museum. Dickens House and Bleak House are at Broadstairs. Sandwich is a lovely old village with the Bell Hotel. Whitstable is famous for oysters. Margate has the Turner exhibition. Between Ramsgate and Broadstairs is the King George VI park and Montefiore House. The walk along the sand from Ramsgate should not be missed when the tide is out.
Other Activities: There ia new ferry service from Ramsgate to Boulogne to enjoy day trips to France.

Huge Price Range for Mods
I have been researching some potential mods and I am just lost with the WIDE range of prices. For example, Rock Rails from Rocky-Road are like 400, from 4xGuard they're 630 and from Mopar it's 800 easy... Then as for skid plate/skid guards. Its the same thing. A little smaller of a range but still a 100-150 variance between the high and lows. This makes me worry that the cheaper ones are of a lesser quality, but then again they swear by them and have warranties. I just don't know what to think. What do you all think about that stuff?
Re: Huge Price Range for Mods
Unless you are some pro rock crawler with your jeep, the cheaper ones are the way to go. If they look the same, no one really cares if they are the Mopar or Rocky-Road.
I would go the cheaper route.
Re: Huge Price Range for Mods
Good point. Thanks bud.
Re: Huge Price Range for Mods
OE accessories are always going to be higher, but they may also add to your value, and have a warranty. I didn't know other skid plates exist? Also didn't know about 4xGuard.
Re: Huge Price Range for Mods
I don't really know these brands, but my past experience has been that the third-party skidplates from companies that supply to off-road enthusiasts are more robust than the corresponding OEM products. You might want to check the companies' testimonials and do some web research, but I wouldn't assume that OEM means higher quality.

WSSU Chancellor Reaves Serves as Speaker For FSU Graduation
Winston-Salem State University Chancellor Donald J. Reaves addressed the 683 graduates during the 147th Spring Commencement of Fayetteville State University on Saturday, May 10, in the Crown Coliseum.
Reaves compared the graduates' educational journey to a road trip, when children in the back seat keep asking, "Are we there yet?" Formerly a truck driver, Reaves said he knows a little something about road trips. He learned to stop at rest stops along the way and deal with detours when they came.
"The answer to the question 'Are you there yet?' is probably 'no.' No, you have not arrived at your final destination because the road never ends," he said. "There are phases to the journey and, necessarily, there are numerous rest stops, some detours and some redirections, but each leg of the journey will provide opportunities for further growth and development, for transformation, each representing another stage in your becoming what you shall be one day."
The graduate who seemed to stand out the most and the one who received a standing ovation was Grace Myrick. FSU Chancellor James A. Anderson, who presided over the commencement, had the audience stand as the 73-year-old received her degree in psychology.

On this date in 1936, Sonia Johnson was born a 5th generation Mormon in Malad, Idaho. She graduated from Utah State University, pursuing her M.A. and Ed.D. from Rutgers after marrying, and through many moves and pregnancies. She taught English at American and foreign universities, working part-time as a teacher while accompanying her husband on overseas jobs. The family returned to the United States in 1976, buying a house in Virginia, one of the states that had not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. Sonia became such an ardent supporter of the ERA that she was excommunicated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1979. Sonia exposed the role of the wealthy Mormon church in sabotaging passage of the ERA. She went on a 37-day hunger strike in the Illinois statehouse in 1982 during the last days of the ERA countdown, to symbolize how "women hunger for justice." She ran on a feminist ticket for President of the United States in 1984 as the candidate of the Citizens Party, becoming the first third-party candidate to qualify for primary matching funds. In countless speeches she pointed out: "Nobody's ever fought a revolution for women." She wrote eloquently of her experiences in From Housewife to Heretic (1981). When a reporter for the Atlanta Constitution asked if Sonia had acquired any non-Mormon habits, "alluding, I'm sure, to smoking and drinking," she replied: "Yes, in fact I have. I have acquired the habit of free thought."
Sonia Johnson
"I have to admit that one of my favorite fantasies is that next Sunday not one single woman, in any country of the world, will go to church. If women simply stop giving our time and energy to the institutions that oppress, they would have to cease to do so."

Tweet Review: 'Raaz 3', first day, first show
Emraan Hashmi, Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta play the lead roles in director Vikram Bhatt's horror film 'Raaz 3'.
New Delhi: Emraan Hashmi, Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta play the lead roles in director Vikram Bhatt's horror film Raaz 3. It is the third film in popular Raaz series. Produced by Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt, audiences have high expectations from the movie. As being reported, Esha and Bipasha have done some really bold scenes in the film. During recent interviews, Bipasha Basu and Emraan Hashmi said that they are eager to enter the Rs 100 crore club now. So, let's wait and watch how Raaz 3 scores at the box office.
The movie revolves around Shanaya (Bipasha Basu), who enjoys a successful Bollywood career and passionate affair with a film director Aditya (Emraan Hashmi).
