Steelers won't trade up, but could move down in this week's NFL draft
It appears evident the Steelers will draft a cornerback and a wide receiver early during the three-day NFL Draft that starts Thursday.
They won't trade up in the first round, but general manager Kevin Colbert said Monday that trading down is a "real possibility" to add extra picks or reshuffle the nine picks the Steelers own in what Colbert continues to say is the deepest draft class he can remember in his 30 years in pro football.
The draft pool is deep enough at the apparent positions of greatest need that it required more study, debate and analysis than in the past, Colbert and coach Mike Tomlin said.
"It created a lot of interesting and exciting discussions. We had to spend more time on the receivers and the cornerbacks, especially the receivers, because there are so many. We kept looking at ourselves and said, 'This is really great,' " Colbert said. "There were a lot of discussions about the big guys versus the small guys, the return capable guys. … And the cornerbacks weren't far behind."
"It makes it (the evaluation process) a little more complex but makes it an interesting process," Tomlin said.
The Steelers' ability to trade up is hindered because they don't have a third-round pick to deal after trading it to Cleveland to draft safety Shamarko Thomas in the fourth round last year. They own a compensation pick at the end of that round that can't be dealt.
If they stay at No. 15, Colbert said, only certain positions are a possibility, but any player at any position is possible should the Steelers move down.
They also need immediate help at inside linebacker and the defensive line.
"You never pass up a quality guy with the hope that you are going to get something else in the sixth round," Colbert said. "You'd better take the player you like when you have the opportunity to take him."
With a record 98 underclassmen helping make this draft class exceptionally deep, Colbert said the quarterbacks — Johnny Manziel, Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater and Derek Carr top the group — are "the linchpin" in determining how it all plays out.
"I think if you polled all 32 teams, they'd probably have the quarterbacks rated differently. … I think that's the one thing that could really trigger the trade up or trade down because, in all honesty, there's a lot of depth at the other positions, and it might preclude teams from trading up," Colbert said.
To the Steelers, any of 19 players would be acceptable at No. 15, a position that might yield a player who would have gone as high as No. 7 or No. 8 in the past, Colbert said.
"I think in Round 2, we are getting a guy that maybe we would have taken in Round 1 before … and so on and so forth," Colbert said. "It is deep. We are excited about it."

Often when women are drawn in comics, either their positions are absolutely ridiculous, or the way their body is built in no way resembles living breathing women. This is why when I saw a contest to replicate Mary Jane Watson's pose I was highly amused. The following are some of the results.
I give them an A for effort because I am quite certain that I would have simply fallen over and bruised my arms trying to hold my boobs together that tightly. I mean really, who sits like that to relax and manages not to spill a drop of coffee? I love that by simply replicating the pose that they prove exactly how ridiculous the drawing is.
I know that comics spring from the imagination however, the depiction of women is too often highly sexist and reduces whatever power these characters are supposed to have. No graphic artist would dream of posing a male character the way that women are often posed. I hope that these recent efforts to expose sexism in comics will bear fruit.

This is a magnificent tool for precise single-pass cuts in large beams up to 15-3/4". The powerful ZSX Ec/400 can be easily and accurately swiveled up to 60 degrees from side to side, and at only 32 lbs it is the lightest carpentry chain saw on the market.
Like all Mafell portable carpentry saws, the ZSX Ec/400 can also be used with the guide rail system for easy set-up and precise angled cuts. This saw also features automatic chain lubrication with adjustable speed to eliminate oil spillage on the timber.
This Mafell chain beam saw is available with a carbide-tipped chain (Model HM) for the most challenging hard wood applications and with a tool-steel chain (Model Q). The ZSX Ec/400 even has a patented anti-splintering plate to prevent chipping along the cutting edge. Overall, a truly extraordinary tool for your largest timbers!

Peak Framing, Inc would not have been able to construct these 50' long x 8' tall timber trusses made from 12x16 members with precision cuts [photos below] without the Mafell ZSX Ec/400. This tool made a difficult job manageable.

I purchased the Mafell ZSX because I wanted a saw that could handle all of my timber cross cutting and ripping needs with as little rolling and adjusting of heavy timbers as possible. This saw is simply superb. I found that not only does it save time and effort due to its power and massive cutting capacity when working large timbers, it saves time and increases consistency when used to gang cut standard rafters and floor joists.

The Mafell ZSX Ec/400 is a great, solid, versatile machine. I couldn't run my business without it.
Kris Goodreau, Goodreau Sawmill
I have enjoyed using the Mafell ZSX Ec/400 Beam Saw that I bought from Timberwolf Tools. I have to say I couldn't be happier with the saw. It is a precision tool when cutting large beams, etc. Excellent tool!!!!!
Mike Fluharty, Fluharty Construction Inc.
As with all of our Mafell tools, the ZSX beam saw exceeded our expectation. It is truly amazing how clean and precise it cuts. We have tried other brands in the past mainly because of the cost. After purchasing our first Mafell tool, it became clear that the quality and usability of their tools makes it well worth the investment. Mafell is now our first and only choice.
Rob Harris, Husky Timber
We have found our Mafell tools to be invaluable and part of our brand building to own and use the finest equipment available to deliver a premium product our customers want and deserve. The accuracy, quality, and ease of using tools like our ZSX Ec/400 chain beam saw justifies the investment.
L. Kevin Barr, Barr Construction
About eight months ago we decided to purchase a Mafell ZSX Ec/400 chain beam saw. The purchase was needed to cut two 8" house frames, which our circular beam saw could not accomplish in one pass. At first it was decided to only use the expensive Mafell chain beam saw on large diameter timber frames and continue to use our 16" circular beam saw for standard frames. What actually happened after we cut the first frame with the Mafell ZSX 400 is we only used the 16" circular saw one time since! After using the Mafell on the two 8" frames, we started to cut a 6" frame with our 16" circular beam saw. After one roof pitch cut on a principle rafter, we put the circular saw back in the tool room and brought out the ZSX 400. When we compared our peak cut with a framing square, our peak cut was off 1/4" from tip to tip, not what we have become accustomed to with the newly purchased Mafell ZSX 400. We have found our timber joint angles to be the most precise ever with the ZSX 400 coupled with the Universal guide. I believe the increased accuracy in our cut frame joints is due to the:
• large base plate of the saw, which minimizes and distributes differences in the face of timbers
• universal tracking guide (I would like to see Mafell make it with a longer track and larger angled base to make long hip cuts and simple roof pitch cuts on wide timbers.)
• angled bar provides leading chain tooth to ease into the cut slowly allowing precise tracking of cut
• chain beam saw bar does not deflect under stress from heat caused from work as we have seem with our circular beam saw
Lastly, the customer service and support provided to me by David is the secondary reason I recommend Timberwolf Tools.

Bradbury Township
Mille Lacs County, Minnesota
Mille Lacs News
Since 4/18/07
Crime Reports
They lied about their crime records.
"The youth at Mille Lacs Academy are receiving treatment and learning how to understand and change their behavior. They are not locked in the facility because they are not felt by referral sources or us to be a danger. Even so, safety is of paramount concern to us; we provide virtually constant supervision. "As a result, in the last decade, we have had only one incident, a youth stealing a car while on run from the campus. He did not harm anyone and returned to the program the same day."
Nexus propaganda
These are the types of lies we have been told by Nexus and the Onamia city council. We've been assured that these juveniles are not dangerous, they've just behaved inappropriately. We've been told that the boys don't escape, they just get confused about their program and wander off once in awhile - usually with their counselors in tow. The Mille Lacs Academy likes to present themselves as a non profit treatment center whose mission is to help poor troubled boys - good kids who volunteer to help senior citizens in the community. (And of course, they are very well behaved in church.) The name "Academy" itself sounds like some sort of military school, instead of what it really is: an institution for convicted sex offenders.
We believe that the only reason that Nexus admits to the "one instance" is because one of the Bradbury neighbor who opposes the forced invasion and building of the $14 million dollar sex offender facility in his back yard who indeed had his vehicle stolen by an escaped Mille Lacs Academy runaway. So they couldn't deny it.
"in the last decade, we have had only one incident"
We found a few more...
Check out our 9 page compilation of Onamia Police and Mille Lacs County 911 calls. They take a long time to load, but please be patient. They're well worth the wait!
Mille Lacs County Commissioners bought the lies and paid for them with your taxpayer money.
Mayor Larry Milton and the city council knew we were being lied to.
And said nothing. They conspired with the corporation who would say and do anything to get what they wanted.
Send Out the Clowns!
The Onamia City Council lied to us about the Mille Lacs Academy sex offenders.

Proclamation issued designating Friday as '2-1-1 Day' in the city
By FAITH HUFFMAN | News-Telegram News Editor
Feb. 8 2007 - Sulphur Springs Mayor Freddie Taylor on Thursday handed CAN Help officials a proclamation designating Friday as 2-1-1 day in the city, following the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's lead in declaring Feb. 11 as "Texas 2-1-1 Day."
HHSC's declaration was made to honor those who work in the 2-1-1 Texas call centers as well as to educate people about the "free phone call center which connects callers with services in their community that can help improve their quality of life."
Taylor went a step further proclaiming it 2-1-1 Day in Sulphur Springs on Friday in recognition of 2-1-1 Texas Northeast Texas Region, the call center which serves nine counties in the region and is one of the programs offered and coordinated by Hopkins County Community Action Network (which is doing business as CAN Help) at the CAN Help building in Sulphur Springs.
The mayor's proclamation noted that the purpose of recognizing 2-1-1 day is to "encourage all citizens to support this program in its effort to serve Northeast Texas residents with community information, referral and advocacy."
In honor of the designation, 2-1-1 North East Texas Region will hold a host of activities throughout the day Friday, including an open house from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Can Help building on Church Street. Judges, dignitaries and representatives from organizations and agencies coordinated through the call center, as well as any individual from an agency within the regional area information center, are invited to the open house to "observe how we operate to help those find the help they need," according to Echo Gregory, assistant director/outreach and community development.
"We're dedicating this day to letting 2-1-1 Texas North East Region-area residents know that 2-1-1 is the number to call when they don't know who to call," said Dawn Sheffield, executive director of CAN Help. "When you dial 2-1-1, a trained experts will listen to your needs and provide anonymous referrals to local community resources that can help with everything from food, housing and child care to crisis counseling or substance abuse treatment."
The 2-1-1 Texas line is a free service, which callers can dial 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to connect to area information centers anywhere in their region. Trained experts can access community-based organizations, government agencies and nonprofits throughout the state, and the service is offered in 90 languages.
The North East Texas Region serves Bowie, Cass, Lamar, Delta, Franklin, Hopkins, Morris, Red River and Titus Counties, and is one of 25 regional call centers in Texas.
The call center is also a member of the 2-1-1 Texas Information and Referral Network, an integral part of the Texas Homeland Security strategic plan, taking non-emergency calls during local, state and national disasters to "make the job easier for service providers at nonprofits and community organizations, first response personnel like nurses, counselors and police, and elected officials and leaders" by telling 2-1-1 callers how to get the help they need, Gregory noted.
They work directly with Sulphur Springs Emergency Operations Coordinator Lt. Rex Morgan during emergency situations. During Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the local office's lines were opened statewide to assist people and help other area call centers which were flooded. They help coordinate callers find the utility assistance, food, emergency shelters, employment help, medical and mental health assistance and transportation information.
They also have a phone tree system which allows them to program in dozens of phone numbers to provide bulletins at the push of a button during emergency situations.
"2-1-1 also supports the community by assessing and reporting about individual needs, identifying gaps in service and working proactively with agencies and community planners to address the needs of the people of East Texas," Gregory said.
She said that the biggest problems for 2-1-1 and other CAN Help programs is that the public is not aware of the many services they offer, and the need for more advocates to help educate the public about 2-1-1 and Can Help.
The goal of CAN Help is to find a niche for ministries or programs or to help with a need, according to Sheffield.
Other programs overseen by CAN Help include the new program Faith In Action, the ongoing Children In the Middle program, and they are working to reestablish the charitable clinic discontinued a few years ago due to lack of funds.
More information about CAN Help programs, advocacy or making donations can be found on the web site www.canhelponline.org or by calling 903-885-9797.

text: Posted January 3, 2013 And truth be told he never really has. His recent statements prove that he is a guy that does not and never has gotten it. He actually said that he will win 7+ championships with the Heat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYe8B--jrbs&noredirect=1 He has been in the league for 10 years and only has 1 championship so far. He left Cleveland and calls fans "spoiled" for expecting him to play well. He also said that he feels sorry for himself. http://nesn.com/2010/05/lebron-james-not-concerned-with-boos-says-he-spoils-fans-with-his-play/ He rode Wade's and Bosh's coattails to one title, and personally lost them a chance to win in 2010-2011, pouted through a playoff game by refusing to shoot the ball in the 4th qtr of every game. You can put all the all-stars you want around LeBron James (and you have to have all-stars around him to make up for his play *see 2010-2011) but at the end of the day it doesn't matter. They won't touch the ball a lot until the 4th qtr when LeBron starts playing hot potato. Ball movement ends when the ball gets to LeBron (having the 5th highest career usage rate in the history of the NBA). That is why the Lakers are second in scoring but 19th in assists (EDIT: nvm, they didn't have Steve Nash all year). Despite having one of the best passers in NBA history on their team (see previous edit). It makes no sense to have 3 current or former all-stars on your team, and yet one player is shooting the ball around 30 times a game (see Cleveland in 2009-2010). LeBron is still one of the best players in the NBA, and he is one of the top 20 players of all-time at worst, so to call him overrated is a little far fetched. But in a historical context I just don't see him as a top ten player all-time. I see a guy that is about one thing and one thing only, LeBron James. To, at times, the detriment of his teams.

Ted Simons: ASU school of theater and film is presenting the world premiere of "Soot and Spit." It's the story of artist James Castle who was born deaf and expressed himself artistically by using materials at hand, including soot from a wood stove mixed with castle's own saliva. The stage production itself is unique in that it brings together deaf and cognitively challenged actors to illuminate James Castle's life. The production is directed by New York artist Kim Weild who joins me to talk about "Soot and Spit." Good to have you here. Thanks for joining us.
Kim Weild: Good to be here.
Ted Simons: Who is James Castle?
Kim Weild: An artist, a man who lived his whole life in Idaho on three successive farms with his family. He was born prematurely, deaf, and he didn't walk until he was about years old. He never learned to sign, he never learned to speak. He never learned to write. At the age of 11, he was sent to the Gooding school for the deaf and blind in Idaho. And he created a world that through the materials at hand, that he drew with the soot from the Woodburning fireplace and his own spit.
Ted Simons: I'm fascinated by outsider art in general. This sounds like outsider art personified. We saw some of the examples of what he was drawing there. Was this someone who had to draw, or who drew and saw that he could do -- Where -- Where did the need to create art, do you think, come from?
Kim Weild: Communication.
Ted Simons: Interesting.
Kim Weild: I think. He was prelingually deaf, which meant in not hearing and being in a family where no one signed, it was his way of communicating -- There's a story that his parents to keep him occupied gave him some paper and pens, they ran the general store, so there were people coming in, and materials like a sears and Roebuck catalog, he was seeing these pictures, and fascinated by them. And also as someone who has a brother who's deaf, my brother, before he learned to sign, communicated with my parents through drawing. So in the time that I've spent looking at castle's art and studying it, and it's extensive because he created over 20,000 works of art in his lifetime. It's extraordinary. There's repetition, but through the repetition he's really trying to get at something. And his work becomes a kind of historical document.
Ted Simons: To that extend, I've read, and we're seeing these examples here, they're instantly interesting when you look at them. I can't explain why. They're just interesting. But it sounds like he kind of parallelled th century art in a way. I've read that about him. Can you explain that?
Kim Weild: I'm not an art historian, nor am I an art critic. There are people much more qualified to answer that question than I am. But what he did was he was making art as we keep saying with the materials at hand. He was using the soot, spit, he was making his own tools, paintbrushes, from sticks. The story goes that when he was sent to the school where he was there for five years, head master -- The head master told his family he's never going to learn to sign. But what you have to do is figure out a way to make him sign. So take away all of his artist tools, and James said, I'm going to do my own thing. I'm going to communicate in my own way. Paralleling 20th century art, if you look at the work of people like Robert Rauschenberg, or the materials they used, they were also seeing that anything was viable in terms of material.
Ted Simons: So in found objects --
Kim Weild: found objects.
Ted Simons: It did become -- He's out there in Idaho doing this on his own,
Kim Weild: yes. That's the remarkable thing. It seems like a Zeitgeist.
Ted Simons: Did he realize?
Kim Weild: No. No, no, no.
Ted Simons: Did he even know other people were very interested in his art?
Kim Weild: Eventually, yes. He has a nephew who studied art in San Francisco, who eventually brought his teacher to come and look at his uncle's work. He knew that his uncle was creating something very special and extraordinary, and also related to the artists -- To the art movement that was happening. And through that, he started to understand the people were interested in his work. He also took great pleasure, if he showed you a work of art, and if you liked it, of course it made him happy. If you didn't respond well to it, he never showed you another piece again.
Ted Simons: Interesting. Wow. That's -- And we're seeing some of the found art objects. OK. Let's get now to the play, which tells his story, but tells his story with some special actors. Talk to us about that.
Kim Weild: Charles me, the playwright, has written into this script a chorus of six performers with Down's Syndrome. And in part, he's getting at the outsider, also the lead actor is profoundly deaf, and we're partnered up with a company called -- A local company, detour company theater, that I would say part of their mission is radical inclusion. So they bring in artists, actors, performers from all over the area who are differently abled. The artistic director, Sam, is actually graduate of ASU, she started this company about years ago. We knew that we were going to need differently abled performers, so we went to Sam and detour and asked them to partner with us. I went and I saw their production of Oklahoma, which was terrific, and talked extensively with Sam, and Rebecca, her associate, and figured out which performers would probably excel and succeed in this type of piece, which is a musical, but it's a very different kind of musical from the traditional kind of -- Like Oklahoma.
Ted Simons: As far as working with these folks, talk about the challenges, talk about the difference between this and your standard community theater.
Kim Weild: I actually don't see a difference.
Ted Simons: Interesting.
Kim Weild: The detour actors are extraordinary in that they come into the room, excited, hungry, eager to work, professional. They bring themselves completely to the work. They have taught the ASU actors a terrific acting lesson about being in the moment. They're not able to lie. And if they're in a scene and they're acting with someone and the actor isn't up to par, and they're not in the moment with them, they're not going to get a response that is going to be meeting what -- You know, they're being given. So it's -- They also -- They have this boldness about them that brings -- I don't know, they light up the room. They just light up the room, and they are -- We miss them when they're not with us. They complete the piece.
Ted Simons: Isn't that -- Let's talk real quickly, a couple minutes left. What story is the piece telling?
Kim Weild: The story is about James castle's triumph of the spirit. The need for communication, perseverance, love, it's very much about love. Without his family and the love of his family, how they set him up and made it possible for him to do what he did which was basically attend to his art all day long over the course of 70 years, what was created was this incredible oeuvre of art that's unlike anything -- He worked in five different mediums. It's unlike anything I've ever seen.
Ted Simons: It sounds like this play is going to be unlike anything a lot of folks have ever seen.
Kim Weild: I hope so.
Ted Simons: Tell us where and when.
Kim Weild: It's at ASU's Galvin playhouse, it opens next Friday, April 5th. The Friday April 5th and the 6th are fully interpreted as well as the 12th and 13th, but it's also captioned the whole time. So it's fully accessible. And performances are at 7:30, and Sunday I believe is at 3:00.
Ted Simons: All right. It sounds like a very rewarding enterprise here. Good luck on the production.
Kim Weild: Thank you.
Ted Simons: And thank you so much for joining us.
Kim Weild: thanks for having me.

Women's Studies programs help them conceptualize theories of race and gender now, just as the early days of the women's movement provided a conceptual revolution for women in the 60s and 70s.
Several hundred current and former members of the Plymouth State University community recently celebrated those achievements and contemplated work still to be done, in recognition of the 15th anniversary of the Women's Studies program at PSU. The event was sponsored by the Women's Studies Council, omen's services and Gender Resources, the Offices of the President and Provost, the President's Commission on Diversity and the President's Commission on the Status of Women.
Winners were announced for the Boland Essay Prize, the Powerful Outstanding Women Award (POWA) and the Theodora J. Kalikow Award. The keynote address was presented by Dr. Kalikow, who served as dean and them interim president of Plymouth State College from 1987-1993. During her tenure she heightened the college community's sensitivity to women's issues. She is now president of the University of Maine at Farmington.
"At Plymouth, when I got here in 1987, I was kind of surprised that we did not already have a formal Women's Studies program. So one of my jobs was to find the right people and the right time to get it to happen.
… In fact, by the late 1980s our language and usages, behaviors and concerns had changed to reflect the new political realities that the women's movement had brought about. Gender issues were now consciously seen; behaviors had been scrutinized for their unintended consequences on women and men; the rhetoric had moved beyond victimization to empowerment, and positive social change.
And this is the final thing I want us to all remember about Women's Studies, at Plymouth and everywhere — it has helped us to change the way we behave because we see the world anew. Every academic discipline does this, but women's studies, because it is rooted in realities that touch us every day, has markedly changed behaviors and attitudes at work, at school, in business, politics, and so on, within my lifetime and yours. The world as we knew it in 1965 or 1975 or 1985 or 1995 or even 2005 has ended. It is gone. A new world is constantly under construction. This is the real legacy of Women's Studies, that it helps generation after generation, now, of students, faculty and staff, and indeed everyone, to see, to investigate, to act for social justice based on established theory, and to collaborate in building the world we dream about," Kalikow said.
Award presentations followed the Keynote address as follows:
Rebecca Noel, assistant professor of history, received the 2007 Kalikow Award in recognition of her work securing more childcare for working parents in the local area. Finding difficulty securing child care in late summer and during school vacations, Noel began to ask others what solutions they had found. She was inundated with responses, mostly looking for solutions as she was. The result was creation of vacation day camps in association with Plymouth Parks and Recreation and Plymouth Elementary School.
"Many parents at PSU and through this region struggle with childcare problems on an individual basis, and worrying about one's own precious children and tricky workday often feels like personal small potatoes. But childcare is a big potato, with political, societal, economic and historical dimensions, and it deserves a solution of commensurate seriousness and scope. I hope we can stay vocal and active in creating social solutions for this problem, as for others, until no one experiences this painful dilemma anymore," Noel said.
The 2007 POWA was presented to Leah Rearick, a senior English major from Farmington. The POWA recognizes students who bring women's issues to the forefront, while demonstrating genuine concern for the advancement of women, and dedication to enhancing the status of women through continuous involvement in and advocacy of women's issues.
The Sally Boland Scholarly Essay Prize went to Caitlin Stevens a senior anthropology/sociology major from Manchester, for her essay, "The Importance of Being Crafty." Hilary Scheer, a senior English major from Island Heights, N.J., was runner up for her essay, "Breaking Biological Boundaries."
Honorable mention recognition was awarded to senior English majors Erin Brearly of Deerfield, Meghan Plumpton of Manchester, Riane Herlihy of Hingham, Mass. and Brittany Brockner of Farmington.
Sally Boland taught at Plymouth State for 28 years. During her time at Plymouth she served as English department chair, head of Writing Across the Curriculum, and department coordinator for Interdisciplinary Studies. She was dean of the college in 1992-93. Instrumental to the founding of the Women's Studies minor, Boland served as chair of the Women's Studies Council and in 1997 she received the Kalikow Award to recognize her outstanding contribution to women's issues on campus.
Boland died from breast cancer in 1999.

Dopamine (DA) D3 receptors have been associated with drug intake and abuse and selectively distribute in the brain circuits responding to drug administration. Here we examined the effects of an acute systemic administration of cocaine (15 mg/kg) alone or preceded by treatment with the selective D3 receptor antagonist SB-277011-A (10 mg/kg) on DA levels concurrently in the rat nucleus accumbens shell and core sub-regions (NAcshell and NAccore, respectively). It is shown that cocaine increases extracellular DA in both compartments and that blocking D3 receptors with SB-277011-A, although the latter is devoid of dopaminergic effects
Over the past decades, a large number of studies have underlined the role that the dopaminergic mesocorticolimbic system sustains in neurochemical and behavioural responses to drug use and abuse [
In particular, the shell establishes intense connections with the limbic system and the hypothalamus and is particularly responsive to the reinforcing properties of addictive compounds, [
In the early 90s DA metabolism was shown to be increased in the shell but not in core following mild stress. In contrast, antipsychotic drugs such as haloperidol were found to increase DA metabolism more in the core than in the shell, whereas clozapine produced approximately the same effect on DA metabolism in both subregions. Based on such findings, it was concluded that the shell relates to mesolimbic pathway involved largely with emotional and motivational processes, while the core is functionally related to the striatal area and plays a role predominantly in motor functions [
In addition, Cadoni
Altogether, the data mentioned support the indication that the accumbens core is densely linked to the neostriatum in terms of input, structure and contribution in motor function. In contrast, the shell is linked with limbic and subcortical areas, is considered to be a component of the 'extended amygdala' and to play a role in motivation and emotional responding [
In particular, most of the
The NAc contains high density of the D2-like family of dopamine receptors to which belong the D3 receptors. To a lesser extent, D3 receptors are expressed in the amygdala, [
Under physiologic conditions the extrasynaptically located DA transporter (DAT) affects extrasynaptic DA levels helping terminate DA action and favouring its recycling [
SB-277011-A is a selective D3 receptor antagonist with high affinity for human (pKi 7.95) and rat (pKi 7.97) cloned DA D3 receptor, with an
The compound has a good brain penetration (cerebral to blood ratio of 3.6:1 [
Hence the present work aimed at examining the effects of the D3 receptor antagonist SB-277011-A on DA dynamics in the NAc core and shell subterritories
Adult male CD rats (250-310 g) were employed in this study. Rats were subjected to a normal light/dark cycle (light on at 7.00 a.m.) with food and water available
Following basal recording for 30 min, the animals were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. Animals from group 1 received systemic (intraperitoneally, i.p.) administration of vehicle (cavasol 10% in water, 2mL/kg, n=4, first injection at time 30 min, second injection at time 120 min), group 2 animals received vehicle and cocaine (Sigma-Aldrich, 15 mg/kg i.p., n=3) and animals from group 3 received SB-277011A (GlaxoSmithKline, 10 mg/kg i.p., followed 90-100min later by cocaine (10 mg/kg i.p., n=4). SB-277011A and cocaine were both dissolved in cavasol 10%.
Voltammetry was applied by means of a μAutolab polarograph (EcoChemie, The Netherlands) linked to an IBM PC computer equipped with a General-Purpose Electrochemical System Software (GPES) package. Voltammetric measurement was performed with a three-electrode potentiostat system made of a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrode, a copper wire auxiliary (counter) electrode both approximately 100 μm in diameter [
Rats were anaesthetised with urethane (1.5 g/kg i.p.) and held in a Kopf stereotaxic frame throughout the experiment. Two mCFE were inserted with their active tips in core and shell of the NAc, respectively. The "working" electrodes (mCFE) were placed side by side in a dedicated holder. Their active tips were inserted in each animal ipsilaterally in the cerebral areas studied as calculated from bregma according to Paxinos and Watson [
The amperometric parameters were selected to achieve real time measurement of DA-like oxidation current
DPV parameters used were as follows: initial potential (Ei) -100 mV, final potential (Ef) +200 mV, scan step was 50 mV.sec-1, scan duration: 6 sec, filter: 0.1 Hz, frequency of scans: every 5 min, filter: 0.1 Hz. The polarograph automatically measured the current (nA) coming from peak oxidation of DA by measuring the perpendicular height (h) from the top of the peak to the tangent line drawn between its shoulders as shown in
At the end of each experiment, an electrolytic lesion (5 Volts, 5 sec) was made through the carbon fibre electrode for histological verification of the recording site. Then the animal was sacrificed, its brain removed and quickly frozen. Each brain was then sliced on a microtome (50 μm), stained (Nissl), and examined under microscope for electrode placement (see
Each 0.2 sec DA measurement was added and averaged over 5 min bins. Averaged data were transformed in percent of the averaged last 15-min basal levels prior to any treatment. Data have been log transformed and statistically analyzed using a three-way ANOVA with between-subjects factors of treatment and NAc sub-region and repeated measurement factor of time using Statistica, version 8.0. Planned comparison
Mesolimbic dopamine (DA) neurotransmission plays a central role in the expression of drug of abuse-seeking behaviour, pharmacological effects of drug intake and relapse to repeated drug taking (for reviews see ref
Previous studies have shown that systemic administration of SB-277011-A, a brain penetrant and selective D3 receptor antagonist with 100-fold selectivity over the D2 receptor [
Thus, given the close association between DA dynamics in the mesocorticolimbic regions of the brain and behaviours associated with drug intake, the present work aimed at analysing the putative influence of SB-277011-A on DA dynamics in the shell and core of NAc in anaesthetised rats. Hence, we measured its effects on DA levels
The results obtained with the amperometric dual probing in core and shell of NAc show similar basal levels of extracellular DA when substracting background current i.e. 3.9 ± 1.9 nA or 3.4 ± 2.1 nA in the core or shell, respectively. Comparable values were observed for DA peak when monitoring basal levels using DPV (data not shown).
No statistical differences were observed between these areas following two successive vehicle i.p. treatments (cavasol 10 %, group 1), performed at 30 and 120 min of recording period, respectively, thus vehicle data have been plotted to perform the comparison vehicle versus drug treatments. Similarly, treatment with SB-277011-A (10 mg/kg, n = 4) did not alter significantly DA levels in both brain areas studied (see
In group 3, i.e. in rats that received pre-treatment with the D3 antagonist SB-277011-A (10 mg/kg i.p.) followed by acute cocaine administration (15 mg/kg i.p.) showed larger increase in both areas of the DA levels than that monitored after cocaine alone, as shown in
A number of reports indicate differences in shell and core DA metabolism [
However, another voltammetric study proposed considerably higher concentration of basal DA levels in NAccore, i.e. in the micromolar range [
The present work also shows that acute treatment with 15 mg/kg ip cocaine resulted in a similar increase in extracellular DA levels in both core and shell. Again, this result is in accord with the above mentioned meta -analysis study [
Furthermore, these data confirm the effective selectiveness of the Nafion biosensors used as it is known that while cocaine is increasing DA levels in brain areas, it also produced a significant decrease in dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) levels [
Previous works have shown that DA concentrations were high in the nAc, and that noradrenaline (NA) and serotonin (5-HT) concentrations were considerably lower than the DA concentration [
The dopamine D3 receptor is mainly expressed in regions of the brain associated with the limbic system and in particular in the shell of the NAc [
Although PK direct interaction between cocaine and SB-277011-A can not be excluded the augmented hemodynamic response reported [
Altogether, these data suggest that the dopamine D3 receptor might mediate an inhibitory action on downstream activity in limbic circuits and that blockade of such receptor by SB-277011-A may enhance the effect of cocaine i.e. via increased extracellular DA concentration in a number of brain regions as reported by Schwarz
All these observations concur with the present evaluation of a modulating influence of D3 receptor antagonism on the cocaine effect on DA activity in the nAc.
This work demonstrates that this new dual-probe mCFE approach can be used to monitor extracellular levels of DA in discrete brain regions as reduced in dimension and interconnected as core and shell of NAc. Further, this technique can discriminate between discrete neurochemical changes occurring in response to pharmacological challenge(s).
Main evidence of the present work is that acute treatment with 15 mg/kg i.p. cocaine resulted in a similar increase of extracellular DA levels in both core and shell. This data is in accord with the most recent meta-analysis on in vivo microdialysis studies on cocaine–induced DA overflow in the NAc [
This interpretation agrees with the recent suggestion that the dopamine D3 receptors are more implicated in the motivation to self-administer drugs of abuse than in their direct reinforcing effects [
Finally, these data, together with the reported efficacy of such a compound on attenuating reinstatement of drug-seeking behaviour [

2006 Pontiac Montana (3 Reviews)
vehicle is giving me so much stress now it will not start at all pcm fuze keeps blowing will not allow vehicle to even over turn every thing is going hay wire smoke came from dash 1 day and now i dont know what 2 do 5 diff mechanics no answer
Every time I have my oil changed (3000 miles) the engine light comes on after approx. 100 miles. I keep taking it back and they do something under the dash to turn it off. I am getting tired of taking it back and would like to know how to do it myself.
This same Montana now, AAmco says it needs a range switch pin...inside the transmission does not know that the car is in park. so they want to rebuild the transmission. Labor. a small piece inside the transmission and it causes the whole transmission to need rebuillding? This is very stressful.

Here are some borax uses for anyone interested in green, environmentally friendlier cleaning.
There are many borax uses which have been eclipsed by complex chemical cleaners from the supermarket shelves. But perhaps we have exchanged this valuable, safe cleaner for a toxic "pig in a poke". Many modern cleaning chemicals are not entirely safe and certainly not eco-friendly.
So just how eco-friendly is borax? How safe is it as a household cleaner?
How do you use it for best results - and what can it clean? This article gives a few pointers.
Borax has been used as a cleaner for generations. It had a place in many Victorian homes. Now it has rather gone out of fashion, superceded by modern synthetic cleaning agents.
But it can still be a useful part of your cleaning programme, especially if you value eco-friendly cleaning methods.
It's a natural product, in that it can be mined. It occurs as a deposit in Death valley in the states. It is produced in the chemical stew which arises in a volcano. It can also be synthesised.
Borax is a name for a compound containing sodium and boron: sodium borate and sodium decahydrate are the commonest names. Boron is a valuable trace element in soils and foods. In concentration, however, boron is toxic.
It's particularly toxic if swallowed so this cleaner needs careful handling and storage. It can cause skin irritation from contact, especially in sensitive individuals. For this reason it's best to wear rubber gloves when using it.
Most borax comes as a crystalline powder rather than a fine powder so there is little danger of inhaling it. If there's any question of the powder blowing about it might be wise to wear goggles and a face mask. It does not give off any significant fumes at room temperature so it's quite safe in that respect.
Borax is alkaline. Don't mix it with acids. You can use it in combination with other safe eco-friendly cleaners such as baking soda or salt.
Borax uses in the house
Borax uses include not only cleaning but also insect control. It can be used to deter and kill fleas, cockroaches and ants.
Other borax uses include bleaching and de-greasing. It's good to add a spoonful of borax to washing up water or to laundry. Borax has a mild bleaching effect because hydrogen peroxide is released in small amounts when it is combined with hot water.
You can use borax for cleaning tiles and paintwork too. It also seems to clean up grout quite effectively.
There is a multitude of other borax uses. As it produces no smell and is safe if handled correctly this is a powerful natural cleaner for anyone who wants to live a more eco-friendly life. It is rated as a low risk product for the environment. In concentration it could be harmful to aquatic life but these kinds of concentrations are unlikely to arise from domestic use.
Borax uses: safety advice
Keep it well away from food and wipe up spills properly. Store it where small children have no access because it is quite dangerous if swallowed.
Other than that, borax is a useful and effective cleaning agent which is well worth keeping at home. See my website, Greenfootsteps.com for other safe natural cleaning products.
This article is one of a series on green cleaning methods.

Japan Copper-Cable Shipments Rise for First Month in Three
Japan's copper wire and cable shipments rose 3.1 percent in November, gaining for the first time in three months as construction demand increased, an industry group said.
Shipments totaled 62,300 metric tons last month, compared with 60,429 tons a year earlier, the Japanese Electric Wire & Cable Makers' Association said today in an e-mailed statement. They totaled 60,046 tons in October, down 0.7 percent from a year earlier.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average (NKY) rose above 10,000 this week for the first time since April on expectations Prime Minster- elect Shinzo Abe will expand monetary and fiscal stimulus in a bid to defeat deflation. Abe's Liberal Democratic Party won a landslide victory that returns it to power three years after surrendering a half-century grip on the government.
"A pick-up in shipments to construction-related and export industries outweighed a slowdown in the auto and electric- machinery industries," said Keiichi Ohki, an official at the association's research department. "This should continue in coming months."
The LDP and coalition partner Komeito have agreed to pass a supplementary budget possibly worth more than 10 trillion yen ($119 billion), the Nikkei newspaper reported yesterday. The Bank of Japan will probably increase monetary stimulus today after a two-day policy meeting, 17 of the 21 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg estimated.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange fell 0.6 percent to $7,881 a ton at 12:45 p.m. in Tokyo. Copper, used in pipes, tubes and wires, has climbed 3.7 percent this year.

cognitive impairment
Tag archives for cognitive impairment
The heath effects of occupational solvent exposure don't always fade with time. A new study has found that years — sometimes even decades — down the road from their last workplace exposure, some workers are still experiencing very real cognitive impairments.
Senators John McCain and Tom Coburn have released a report on "100 Stimulus Projects that Give Taxpayers the Blues." Their introduction rails against "torrential, misdirected government spending," and short descriptions of the 100 projects singled out for ridicule are evidently supposed to disgust readers. What disgusted me, though, was an apparent lack of respect for…

Or, if you happen to be located within driving or ferrying distance of where I live on Vancouver Island, you could always take a six-day version of my still life workshop out of my own studio, with access to all my still life props. Yes. That includes creepy dolls and rotten boards covered in chippy paint. I've been really wanting to do a six-day version because five seems just long enough for everyone to learn some cool stuff, but six would be optimal for actually finishing a painting. This latter workshop will be limited to six people so that I can intensely manage and instruct you all, my little goslings. So far there are only two spots left.

Top 5 Streaming Baseball Apps For Android And iOS
Editor's Note: Today's post was submitted by tech writer EJ Parfitt. He has been writing for a short time now and has already picked up steam with several tech websites and local news sites. During his free time , you're sure to catch him competing in local chess tournaments in downtown Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Training camps have opened up and baseball season is just around the corner. A number of stories will be worth following in Major League Baseball this season, including Albert Pujols' first season as an Angel. You don't want to miss a minute of the action, and if you have a smartphone you don't have to. Here are five great apps that let you stream video or radio broadcasts of MLB games.
1. MLB.com At Bat 11: The hook for MLB At Bat is that you can "watch every pitch from every at bat." As an official app from Major League Baseball, it delivers a rich user experience with all the content you could ask for. Live streaming video is available, as well as home and away broadcasts for each game. Even if you aren't in a position to watch or listen to the games, MLB At Bat 11 features a pitch-by-pitch tracker to let you follow the action at a glance. MLB At Bat 11 also gives you condensed games and video clips, letting you check other highlights from around the league at a glance.
For four other great streaming baseball apps –
2. ESPN Radio: With ESPN Radio, you can listen to ESPN's main radio programming as well as all of their affiliate stations in different markets throughout the US. This includes coverage on other sports, but what you should focus on is that their coverage includes MLB. You'll get the most out of this baseball season with ESPN Radio, and you'll get coverage on other sports as an added bonus.
3. SiriusXM: For several years, SiriusXM has had a deal in place to air radio broadcasts of every MLB game. If you're a SiriusXM subscriber, download this free app and link it with your account. You'll have satellite radio everywhere you go, including access to MLB broadcasts for every game. Sure, satellite radio isn't quite as full-fledged as satellite TV, but it still lets you hear the games in pristine audio. Another major benefit of the app is its unique feature to let you rewind stations to points before you even tuned in.
4. Yahoo! Sportacular Pro: Similar to ESPN Radio, this app lets you listen to sports radio coverage. The only difference is that it's Yahoo's instead of ESPN's. Still, they provide MLB coverage all season long, so this is an app to keep in your arsenal.
5. MLB Streaming Radio: This app is exclusive to Android. Even though it's relatively unknown at this point, it's a useful tool. All the app does is list every MLB team and provide links to the web streams of any individual team's games. So, if you're a Cubs fan, you just tap "Chicago Cubs" and are instantly redirected to the webcast of the Cubs game. It's a handy app, but can be a bit ruthless on your phone's battery.
Technology has put everything, including baseball, at our fingertips. With these useful apps, you won't ever have to wonder who won a game or how a team just scored. Unless you lose your phone, you'll never miss a second of Major League Baseball action.


text: I've just bought an Audi A3 2.0TDI Sport 150 8V Sportback and did my first long journey in it this week. Love the car, but the tyre noise is very disappointing for a premium hatchback, much worse than my wife's Golf Mk VII. I also hadn't realised just how hard the ride is from my six mile test drive. After 135 miles I was ready to get out of the car for a break. I sold my 2006 Civic 2.2 Ctdi which was a firm ride, but this seems worse. The car has 225/45R17 Continental SportContact 5's fitted and they have to be the noisiest tyres I have ever experienced! I checked the cold pressures after this trip and found the front tyres were at 36.5psi (book says 35psi for fronts). Not sure if that would make the ride firmer and noise worse. It's only 1.5psi above what it should be, so may not be a big factor. I have since reduced the pressures. My car is an ex-demonstrator owned by an Audi dealership and may have been driven in a spirited fashion as the front tyres are down to 4.5mm in the centre tread at 7800 miles. I am tempted to ditch them and fit quieter front tyres. Can't really justify doing all of them as the rears have over 7mm left. After a bit of research I am looking at Good Year Eagle F1 ASY2's. Reports seem to suggest they offer similar grip, better wear and are more comfortable and less noisy than the Contis. Rolling resistance looks similar too. I was wondering whether anyone can give me some feedback on whether fitting the Good Years to the front would prove worthwhile in terms of improving road noise levels and whether it would slightly improve ride comfort. I think I now see why people suggest buying a Sport with SE suspension! Thanks and wishing you all a Happy Christmas. Steve

A completely new look for Christina Aguilera.

48 Comments on "Random Photos Part Four – American Music Awards Part Two"
"And Christina dear, more power to you for being whatever weight you want to be, but you've got to stop dressing like yo're still a size 2. It doesn't work."
This, exactly. Most of us know how to cover up/camouflage/drape over our flaws, so that we don't look hideous and scare members of the general public.
I went to a taping of the voice yesterday and all I can say is that Christina Aguilera is tiny…don't know why she doesn't photograph well but she's not fat at all
Christina and Carrie look absolutely atrocious. Everyone else I can deal with.
Someone please hire a stylist for Carrie Underwood. That dress is hideously promish
Good on Christina for embracing her curves, but yes, the tan and horrible hair turn this into a disaster. The ultra blonde Cleopatra cut/wig/weave is just NOT flattering. But I think she loves the drag look, and will never tone it down or look more natural.
Hayden looks good with the weight loss, but her face looks different…is it just the weight loss, or has she had work done? She's giving me a Courtney Stodden vibe in that photo. :/
Christina's butt is not human. It looks like shes wearing a damn crinoline hoop skirt circa 1854 (or the stepsister fashion in the Disney Cinderella movie, take your pic). what is everyone's obsession w monster butts??? Stupid stupid monster butts
I am getting a very strong Mrs. Roper vibe off Xtina.
I think everything Vicki says is amusing.
That's not amusing. At all.
Kiebler's fame whoring obvious. Why on earth was she there?
Pink looks awesome. As much as I dislike Taylor Swift she looked great.
Stacy Kiebler is beautiful. Christina Aguilera, not so much.
I agree with the commentary so far about Christina. I think she is finally dressing for the size that she is and it is a good step in the right direction.
I like Heidi and Taylor's dresses. If you got, flaunt it. 🙂
That's what confuses me too?
Christina's pic actually looks photoshopped to me
I agree–Taylor needs to mix up her red carpet look a little.
I like Christina's dress. All of the other stuff going on in that photo I'm not too sure about.
Heidi can still get away with that so GODSPEED to her.
Jenny's dress looks better on television.
Carrie's dress is an unfortunate choice.
Hayden has, IMO, dropped the weight she was asked to gain for Nashville. She looks pretty good.
Taylor looks great. If u r 20 something WHY NOT show your legs of that's what u want to do. She looks cute.
Pink looks matronly, but if she likes it…….
I love Stacy's dress. I want it.
Taylor's dress is lovely, yes. But go Google "Taylor Swift Red Carpet" and you'll see that the nudish toned dress is her uniform. Mix it up, woman!
Bunch of crappy dresses, unfortunately.
Not that I think Taylor's dress is inappropriate, but she's definitely been dressing more 'risque'.
Which is to say, instead of wearing a 40s schoolmarm outfit, she's dressing like a college girl on a date with a guy in premed.
I don't understand how Christina doesn't have a double chin.
Lol @jolene, totally agree with how easily that gets tossed around here. I think she looks good too. She was more muscular before but that's the only difference I notice.
Your people's idea of "too skinny" shocks me sometimes. Hayden's legs look AMAZING and healthy.
Shame on you, Vicki – lol.
And hey! Look! It's Clooney's girlfriend getting some publicity she wouldn't otherwise get if she wasn't his girlfriend!
Love Taylor's dress.
God – who dresses Carrie Underwood? That's a short prom dress!
And Christina dear, more power to you for being whatever weight you want to be, but you've got to stop dressing like yo're still a size 2. It doesn't work.
Woah, Hayden P. looks scary skinny. Those legs look like they belong on someone else. Damn shame. She always had such a healthy, muscular body.
I'm so glad Swifty didn't wear red! The gold dress looks good on her with nude lip.
Pink's dress looks all wrong on her. Xtina? I can't even imagine she looked in a mirror.
Da,m didn't think Christina could look worse tha. She did during her performance. Stacy kiebler and Heidi klum look like sisters
Heidi must want to help the paps get the vadge shot.
Just say no to the butt pads Xtina. And the orange skin. And the bleached out wigs. That would a good start.
Christina is finally wearing clothes that are actually her size, but that dress is not flattering. She would look so perfect if she would let both her hair and her skin go back to their natural color and texture. She could rock a curvy diva like we haven't seen in decades.
Ugh no I think that's a terrible dress for Christina, accents all the wrong things. Hayden P looks incredibly skinny, she never used to.
Nice effort for Pink, not 100% but no disaster.
I dunno, I think Christina looks pretty good (except the orange tan).
Taylor looks amazing.
Not a fan of the short in front longer in back dress on Carrie.
Taylor almost always looks great and
does so again. I like Christina's hair.
Taylor's dress isn't that short. It isn't her hoohah that is in danger of making an appearance.
We almost had another "Heidi moment" on our hands.
Oh, Heidi…no.
Do Jenny McCarthy, Pink and the Biebs all have the same hairdresser? And is it Lucille Ball?
*Well played.
Eats, shoots, and leaves, y'all…
I agree with you completely, VIP. Plus your last line made me choke on my tea. Well, played.
I'm starting to think that no matter what Carrie Underwood wears, it's going to look boring because Carrie Underwood is wearing it.
We are getting to watching a very interesting case of progressive desperation in the form of Jenny McCarthy.
I'm going to cut Christina some slack and say they caught her at a bad angle. The dress isn't so bad and the hair is nice.
Taylor can dress her tail off, gotta give her that.
Pink's dress is great, but agree it doesn't seem to suit her. She and Carrie should have traded. Pink can pull off the avant-garde space jumper suit look that Carrie went with.
Those shoes look pretty bad on Hayden P's frame.
I agree VIP- I like her curvy but that dress was a bad call.
Christina looks thick but awesome.. I'm glad she's finally embracing her thickness!
Really Carrie Underwood? That dress is a nightmare.
Hayden P looks.. Dare I say?? Good? Less troll-ish for sure.
If Christina would just stop with the televangelist wife makeup and bleached mop and orange skin, she'd look decent.
hayden and christina need to eat with each other for 6 months or so, but trade plates. they'd both look better.
I normally reserve commenting on Xtina's weight, because I think if we saw her in person, she would look "normal," not fat. But she needs to start dressing in a way that is more flattering to her shape. I can practically hear that picture beeping as she backs up!
YUCK to every dress except Taylor Swift's. Pink's is okay, but it just doesn't look right on her.
whoa, did not see that angle of Christina before this. EEEk. From the front she looked good….
I love Gwen. What the hell was Kiebler doing there? Or Ginnifer Goodwin? Or Heidi Klum? Or Jenny McCarthy???
I would slaughter thousands of puppies for Heidi Klum's body.

There is every indication that climate change is getting away from us.
The recent shelving of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme in Australia shows how even in an advanced democracy, where there is widespread concern about climate change, the political will to take even the most modest of steps can be found seriously (and dangerously) wanting.
As temperatures rise, and irreversible positive feedback processes (such as the melting of the Greenland ice cap) are set in motion, attention will shift to what engineering solutions might be deployed to turn the Earth's thermostat down a few notches to make the place comfortable for a thriving human civilisation once again.
In fact there are already schemes afoot to engineer the Earth's climate, such as by placing many thousands of tonnes of sulphur and sulphur compounds in the upper atmosphere, in much the same way as volcanic eruptions can do.
In an excellent new essay, that develops themes from his recent book Requiem for a Species, Clive Hamilton explores the strange politics of geoengineering:
Hamilton reveals the rather odd cast of characters working behind the scenes with financial support from Bill Gates and others on quite fantastical schemes, all based on the arrogant assumption that humankind's total domination of the global climate system is possible, let alone desirable.
The essay also makes clear the urgent need for an international legal framework to control potentially devastating experiments with the Earth's climate, an issue that is only just starting to attract attention in the literature (see, for instance, http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1334625).

A popular Crystal Palace supporters' pub could be forced to close this week after police pressed ahead with attempts to shut it down.
A Croydon Council licensing committee will meet tomorrow to decide the fate of the Portmanor, in South Norwood, amid a row in which police branded a fervent section of Palace's supporters "hooligans".
The dispute centres on the Holmesdale Fanatics, a vocal group of fans who drink in the Portland Road pub before matches.
The group is renowned as being one of football's most boisterous and often organises colourful displays of support at matches.
However, police claim the group are "a particularly anti-social group of individuals who have repeatedly displayed little regard for the local community" and allege Geoff Charles, landlord of the Portmanor, "embraced the hooligan element".
But Mr Charles, who has run the pub for three-and-a-half years, said he was being unfairly blamed for incidents that had nothing to do with his premises, adding police had even linked domestic violence in nearby houses to his the Portmanor.
The 49-year-old, who DJ'd at the pub before owner Punch Taverns asked him to take charge, said: "The police put a report in saying at one stage the HF let a flair off in Liverpool, another stage where they had a coach going to Watford.
"The coaches never left our pub, never came back to my pub. I think it is crazy. I'm not sure what the agenda is.
"I have talked at length to several leaders of the HF about what I expected if they were to come to our pub.
"We have never had a fight with them in the pub, we have never had a fight with them outside the pub or doing anything around quite a fair radius from the pub.
He added: "They are dedicated to that football club. They are praised by just about everybody for their support, they don't stop singing regardless of what the score is, and the club acknowledge that.
"From my point of view, if you don't fight in my pub or let off flares, until you prove that you are some kind of dangerous person I'm going to let you drink in my pub.
"And to be honest, if it wasn't for match days the pub wouldn't survive."
Holmesdale Fanatics criticise perceived heavy-handed stewarding
In documents submitted to the sub-licensing committee, the Metropolitan Police detail several incidents allegedly involving the Holmesdale Fanatics - including flares being set off in Selhurst Park and drugs found on a supporters' coach - that are seemingly unconnected to the Portmanor.
The papers also quote a Wikipedia page on fanatical football fans, known as ultras, linking them to extreme political ideology and racism - yet cite nothing to associate the Homesdale Fanatics to such beliefs.
The committee will be also asked to consider reports of youths assaulting of a young couple near the entrance to the Portmanor in January, throwing bottles at a police car and fighting outside the venue.
But Mr Charles said: "The youths never came into our pub and we have got CCTV to back that up. I can't be responsible for every crime that goes on in Portland Road."
He added: "One thing I can say is [the HF] are definitely not a racist bunch. I'm black guy and these guys are all white - a lot of them are Greek in the HF - and there has been not one bit of racism.
"If it was a bad pub then people would be coming forward to say so, but we have had nothing but support.
"We send kids on apprenticeship courses. We have old people in. On Wednesday when it's karaoke we have a woman in who is in her seventies.
We have many people who come on a football day with their children, we have disabled kids who come."
"We have got no axe to grand and we just want to work with the police to sort out any problems they may have."
Coun Wayne Lawlor, for South Norwood, also expressed concerns about the police bid to shut down the pub.
He said: "Normally if a pub has got a reputation, people tend to know about it. But nothing like that has really come to light to me.
"I have certainly never heard anything adverse about the pub and it has never been in the papers for what it has been reported for.
"I think withdrawing the licence and closing it is premature and I think it is over the top."
The Metropolitan Police, which has recommended the pub's licence be revoked, declined to comment ahead of the meeting.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 24.0352 Monday, 22 July 2013
Date: July 19, 2013 5:34:32 PM EDT
Subject: Re: SHAKSPER: Stylometrics
Date: July 19, 2013 5:54:49 PM EDT
Subject: 1 Richard II
Date: July 19, 2013 5:34:32 PM EDT
Subject: Re: SHAKSPER: Stylometrics
I could only be partial to Dr. Egan's Thomas of Woodstock ascription. As a non-scholar with little leisure, I won't give credibility to anyone who protested a 20,000-word limit on a case brief; nor can I engage arguments for a play I find aesthetically negligible.
On the other hand, I don't agree with everything Larry Weiss writes. Assuming Frampton's facts check out, I think the Florio article could be taken more seriously than Larry suggests. Words Shakespeare didn't use in the Quartos appear in F1 -- words in Florio's diction. F1's Epistle Dedicatorie and address to Variety of Readers are also worth investigating—the former a Florio "trademark", the latter has diction unfamiliar to Shakespeare's contemporaries but familiar to Florio. (Frampton article is my only source.)
I appreciate the composite nature of Early Modern play texts before they go to printers (I read the beginning and conclusion of Stern's Documents of Performance in Early Modern England.) On that score, Weiss's objections are valid. But it's at least fair to propose that Florio was a editor/compositor, if not the editor/compositor of F1.
Wouldn't it be interesting to find out?
Parsing out possible passages Florio inserted is a task for stylometricists, no? Please let us know, stylometricists, if you discover something conclusive. And perhaps someone will let us know whether Epistle Dedicatorie was specific to Florio.

Subject: 1 Richard II
It must be clear by now to regular readers that Larry Weiss has an unhealthy obsession with me and my work. His latest comment about 1 Richard II is full of straight lies, including the claim that the panel he hurried to set up to evaluate my original argument "was selected in accordance with procedures agreed upon by Egan." Not so. Not so! I had no say in setting up the panel, and withdrew from the process in part because of this. The story is detailed in my reply to Weiss and Co.'s statement.
Secondly, despite Weiss's characteristic sneer, there are in fact those who do accept my attribution, and the momentum is growing. Many Shakespearean scholars have said so in print, some in passing and others in considerable detail. Not publicly on this listserv, however, because most readers are afraid of Hardy Cook and his willingness to banish or silence. Can you imagine what his classroom must have been like? Cook has long made known his disregard for my case (which of course he has not read in full, like Weiss and his panelists). Listserv readers do write to me privately, however, expressing their support.
Michael Egan
[Editor's Note: This is the second time that Dr. Egan has casually thrown around the aspersion that I have banished subscribers. I only time I have threatened this was when subscribers were abusing the rights of other subscribers by sending them unsolicited and unwanted e-mails. Frankly, I am flattered to be attributed so much POWER (yes, shouting) when all I ever aspired to be was an electronic Louis Marder. –Hardy]

This is a great product. The A.R.T has a easy to understand remote-control system and same with the heli. The only bad thing is that the darts and discs can get lost. The heli is very, very sturdy and can take some pretty nasty crashes without getting damaged. The A.R.T can be somewhat hard to move and hit the heli, so when you try to shoot the heli down, you need to press the fire button one at a time. Otherwise, it will not fire. The heli requires a delecate touch. Which means you need to slowly move the up and down key.
This is a great toy for an 8-year old boy!!! My grandson managed to get the helicopter and the battle tracker thingie to work in just a few minutes with a little help from his dad. He flew the helicopter and shot missles at it all night. He thanked me three times for getting him such a cool birthday present. This one is a keeper!!!
Good quality but helicopter only last 4-5 minute on one charge!! Takes 10 minute to charge back up. Definetly will need long life batteries, which cost $31+!! Will be buying rechargeable batteries next. Also helicopter takes time to learn to fly. I am 55 and play all types of game toys and computer, this is borderline 11 - 12 year old toy. Need patience to learn to play!!!!!!!!
My 8 year old got this on Christmas and played with it a little bit. The next day, he played with it a little more. By the end of the 3rd day, the balance bar broke and when I fixed it with some glue, it just spun in circles. Not worth the money for 3 days of play. Very disappointed. For the money, I would think it would be a lot more durable. Taking this one back!
This was one of my son's CHRISTmas wish list toys. He spent a lot of time playing with it as soon as he unwrapped it. Keeps him entertained and excited. Much sturdier than other RC Helicoptors he's had in the past. Seems to rebound well after a fall or banging into walls. There did not seem to be much of a learning curve-he figured it out right away. I have yet to try it, as I have been unable to pry the remote out of his hands! He's happy-I'm happy. Would recommend. Bonus--the foam darts do not hurt even at close range.....
I purchased this for my 7 year old grandson for Christmas and it was the perfect gift. He was able to fly it right from the start. It seems very durable! His Dad and Uncles were having as much fun with it as he was. I believe it lasted for about 15 minutes of constant indoor flying before needing recharged.
Nice toy for a middle school kid. Loved the quick shipping!
Purchased as a Christmas gift. This was at the top of my 9 and 11 year old's Christmas list and we were extremely disappointed! Problems with the FIRST purchase:The base unit Turren? wouldn't shoot at all, but the helicopter flew great. Returned it for another one only to find it didn't shoot nor did the helicopter fly and it looked to have been previously returned. It feels just as bad being the mother of a disappointed child on Christmas morning as it does for the kiddos. Don't waste your money!
This was a Christmas present for our son and we are going to return it to the store today. The helicopter does not work at all. My husband has flown other helicopters from Bridgestone without any problem, but by the time he was able to trim this one the battery needed to be charged. We have attempted to play with this set several times, but the helicopter will only fly in little circles. It is a shame that the makers of this toy didn't correct the issues that all their helicopters seem to have before they put in on the market in time for Christmas. I took out the extended warranty and I plan to call and see if I can get that money refunded as well.
Dose not have ability to fly forward or backward. Difficult to fly around, easy to hover. The remote on the base does not respond well. Very disappointing for the kids on christmas day! Blah, bad product!!
The on/off switch broke within 3 hours of taking it out of the box. My son was so excited to get this toy as a present. I feel that it was very over-priced for the quality(lack of quality). We returned it and he purchased 3 different gifts. He said he never wanted another Air Hogs product. This was the second purchase of the Battle tracker. The first one last about 5 hours and broke on Christmas day.
My son got on 12/30 for his birthday-three children (12years old) took turns playing with it for about an hour-The next day he turns it on to play with and the switch at bottom of helicopter breaks off-so now he shoves a toothpick into it to turn it on and off-for a $89.97 toy(what we paid before clearanced out)it should last longer than an hour.
The helicopter cannot be controlled easily. It needs a tail rotor to permit forward and backward control.
switch broke very easily with my 11 year old son. He was very upset and the store did not have any more.
i played it and it really good but the price should be a bit lower

TED Talks Why do transnational extremist organizations succeed where democratic movements have a harder time taking hold?
Globalization cut both ways. Maajid Nawaz discusses how social movements use ideas, narratives, symbols and leaders through borderless technologies, to create transnational identities. This has lead to highly sophisticated extremist organizations in Muslim-majority societies (and the speaker was a participant in that for 13 years). Isolated extremist are now globally connected. Given the Arab spring, how can these tools strengthen democratic social movements?
