- How to Read a Study Record
Ticagrelor is one of 3 anti-platelet medications used in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to prevent further clot formation and further ischemic damage to myocardial tissue. Overall benefits of one drug over the other is neutral in this generally unstable population. In pre-clinical trials, ticagrelor showed secondary effects, involving the release of adenosine to heart muscle where the demand for blood was increased due to a stress condition. Blood flow was increased, potentially preventing potential damage.
This study will compare ticagrelor, currently only approved for use in ACS patients, against clopidogrel by measuring the myocardial blood flow(MBF) during stress to validate this phenomenon. The effect on blood flow will be measurable by using two specific doses of adenosine as the pharmacologic stress and correlating with measurements of blood flow using positron emission tomography (PET) nuclear imaging.
This study hypothesizes that the increase in MBF during intermediate dose adenosine infusion will be greater in ticagrelor treated subjects compared to clopidogrel treated subjects

Integrated Polymer and Systems Engineering Group
The Laboratory for Integrated Polymer and Systems Engineering in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering undertakes multidisciplinary research in the areas of polymer and process systems engineering to develop sustainable products and processes that maximise efficiency and minimise environmental impacts.
Our research
Polymers Research
Our projects involve scientific and applied research on the synthesis of polymer colloids, and the modelling, optimisation and control of polymer manufacture via emulsion, dispersion and living free-radical polymerisation. These processes are environmentally beneficial due to the use of water as the dispersing medium and the modest temperature and pressure requirements. Our scientific approach to develop models using population balances and the governing transport equations for batch, semi-batch and continuous polymerisation is enabling fundamental understanding of the complex processes and enhanced product formulation. A number of postgraduate and post-doctoral researchers are working in association with the centre from Australia and overseas.
Particulate products are ubiquitous in the industry. Thus, we have engaged in significant research with producing particulate systems having the desired properties such as the particle size distribution, the molecular weight distribution, conversion, flow properties, etc. Many such processes lack the availability of on-line instrumentation for closed loop control. For example, the turbidity and (milky-white) appearance of polymerisation reactor contents preclude the use of light-based sensors for monitoring the status. Thus, inexpensive alternative means such as soft-sensors are being developed for this purpose.
Our research developments in modelling, advanced process control, fault detection/diagnosis and artificial intelligence are applicable to a number of complex systems, including the minerals, chemical, petrochemical and environmental processes. Our "soft-sensors" are finding increasing use with substantial benefits in process operation, optimisation and control in coatings, food and agricultural applications.
Projects in polymer
- Model-based control of polymerisation reactors
- Expert systems for polymerisation processes
- Scale-up and coagulum formation in polymerisation reactors
- Living controlled polymerisation.
Integrated Reaction and Separation Systems
Many industrially important chemical reactions are limited by the equilibrium conversion of reactants within a feed and product mix. For most chemical processes, the effluent from the reactor is separated into unconverted reactants, by-products and products. The unconverted feed is usually recycled, and the products and by-products are separated for meeting requisite specifications.
Process Intensification (PI) through integrated reaction and separation, presents one of the most important trends in today's process technology. It consists in the development of innovative processes that offer drastic improvements in chemical manufacturing and processing, substantially decreasing equipment volume, energy consumption, or waste formation, and ultimately leading to cheaper, safer, sustainable technologies.
This combining of the reaction and separation steps in a single unit operation known as reactive separation process (RSP) or integrated reactive separation (IRS) and the process unit is called a multifunctional reactor.
The potential advantages of process integration are:
- Greater productivity
- Higher selectivity
- Reduced energy consumption
- Improved safety
- Reduced catalyst requirement
- Achieve difficult separations
- Heat transfer integration
- Avoidance of chemical wastes
Design and Operation
Despite the research effort on process synthesis over the last two decades, very few systematic procedures have been proposed for the synthesis of reactor-separator-recycle systems. Existing approaches often use heuristics.
The interaction of several process steps in a single equipment, the steady-state and dynamic behaviour of integrated process units are often much more complex than that of a single unit. Thus, methods for the design and control of integrated processes need development to ensure optimal operation of the integrated process. This project deals with the problem at the core of chemical processes - creating a structure for the reaction-separation-recycle system through innovative methods.
Integrated Design, Optimisation and Control
The emphasis in industry on energy savings, sustainable processes and environmental protection has driven process systems engineers, including design and operations engineers, to incorporate a number of crucial steps in developing integrated designs of chemical processes. Design teams are required to integrate the process with control to satisfy economic, environmental and social objectives, while at the same time achieving optimal performance.
Ethene Epoxidation
This work is addresses the advanced control and operation of the ethylene oxide reactor. Five key strategies were identified for this purpose and are outlined below:
- Steady sate and dynamic modelling
- CFD model of the shell side of the reactor
- Process optimisation and advanced control
- Data reconciliation and rectification

Apple's Biggest Problem: Mr. Market
It should come as no surprise that Apple (AAPL) dropped nearly 10% after it reported its quarterly results yesterday. Over the past couple of weeks, the market all but ensured that Apple's shares would drop significantly once the earnings were released. By that I mean that Apple's biggest problem today is Mr. Market and not its financial performance.
In the current economy, Apple's quarterly results were nothing short of spectacular. For the fiscal fourth quarter, Apple again posted record quarterly revenue of $54.5 billion and record quarterly net income of $13.1 billion, or $13.81 per diluted share. But Mr. Market had made up his mind weeks before Apple's earnings release. Unless Apple again blew past estimates, the stock was going down no matter what....469 more words left in this article.

Hendrix. Joplin. Morrison. And Woodstock. A young Miles Davis. Frank Zappa. Steven Tyler. James Brown.
Baron Wolman was there to capture it, a musical generation that flickered in the 1960s and vanished. And will never return.
Wolman, as the first chief photographer for Rolling Stone magazine, delivered the sacred cover shot for the first 22 issues starting in 1967 when, at 30, he convinced upstart 21-year-old publisher Jenn Wenner that he was the guy behind the lens.
At 75, Wolman's lived a far more sedate life for 10 years in Santa Fe, N.M., only every so often grabbing a camera. Grateful to those precious pictures that put food on his table, he still teaches young photographers the art behind the images.
And Wolman avails himself to exhibits, with his current collection of rock 'n roll photographs at Markham Vineyards in St. Helena and his "Groupies" display moving from London to Markham as part of the "Arts in April" celebration in the wine country.
Wolman appears at Markham on April 13 for the "Groupies" show, plus book signing of "Every Picture Tells a Story: The Rolling
Stone Years."
Wolman said he was in the rock scene at the right time and got out at the right time.
"The value of the image has decreased dramatically," Wolman said by phone. "Nobody knew what these musicians looked like until we started taking pictures of them. People got the information from the photographs. Now, with the Internet, pictures May 8-12 BottleRock music festival in Napa hopes to accomplish, there will never be another Woodstock, he said.
"It was incredible," Wolman said of that that original 1969 concert in White Lake, N.Y.
Other priceless moments: On stage with Jimi Hendrix, having Janis Joplin perform in his house, and all those Bill Graham Days on the Green.
"I knew I was having a helluva good time, for sure," Wolman said. "That much I knew. I didn't have a sense of where in history it might end up. I knew Woodstock was really a significant event. I knew it would find a place in history."
Rolling Stone, said Wolman, also had its place in history.
"We were the only game in town, right? There was nobody else covering music the way we were covering it," he said. "It didn't take long for the music business and musicians to realize how important it was to be showcased in Rolling Stone."
While merely doing a job at the time, "I benefited in so many unexpected ways and ways I didn't realize were benefits at the time,"
Wolman said.
Though most celebrated musicians were grateful to be photographed by Wolman, he said Frank Zappa went beyond the call when he welcomed him to
his home.
"He was eccentric, but he was a brilliant eccentric," Wolman said. "He just decided he was going to take over and gave me all kinds of photo opportunities. I was intimidated and concerned and he diffused my fear quickly."
Wolman freelanced for another publication that wanted a color shot of Joplin performing.
Unfortunately, since Rolling Stone only printed black and white at the time, Wolman didn't have a shot available.
"So I suggested she come over to my studio," Wolman said.
The idea was to have Joplin lip sync to a cassette recording of her own song.
"She started lip synching, then started singing quietly and within five minutes, she was being Janis Joplin," said Wolman, noting that his shots "try to bring the happy side of Janice" to light.
Joplin, Morrison and Hendrix died of drug overdoses at 27.
"Everyone was using one way or another, but Jimi was an accidental loss," Wolman said. "I was with him a short time before and he had just built a recording studio and had all kinds of plans."
Though he's done numerous photograph exhibits since he left Rolling Stone, the shots of the 1960s stars are indelible.
"Most people don't remember me for other stuff," Wolman said. "I'm happy they remember me for the music from 45 years ago. I'm living off of them."
Wolman fled California for Santa Fe 10 years ago, laughing about a local's analysis of the women
"I asked, 'What about women?'" Wolman recalled. "He said, 'The odds are very good, but the goods are very odd.'"
Still, because he got fed up with traffic and what developers had done to California, he gratefully remained in Santa Fee.
"I do miss my friends," Wolman said, thrilled to return to Napa Valley for the unveiling of "Groupies," a pictorial tribute of the girls who made it a point to get backstage.
It began, Wolman said, when he gathered some vintage shots of the women fans for a London exhibit because a friend who opened a gallery wanted something that would get a lot of press.
"So I put together a collection of pictures with the stories about the women who I photographed, most of whom are still alive,"
Wolman said.
They weren't just obsessed fans "wanting to go sleep with a member of the band, though I'm sure that was part of it," Wolman said. "They were there to show themselves off, their styles, the way they dressed. Clothes to them mattered."
Photography -- and groupies -- have changed, Wolman said.
"Images have become cliché. There are so many. And the camera does all the work," Wolman said.
Groupies, he added, just don't have that creative touch like the
old days.
"The dynamics have changed dramatically," Wolman said.
Not that it's bad. Or good.
"It's just a new world. It's different," he said.

We're Mobile, We're National & We're MonumentsRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
In a barn in a city,
where a singer left something
there you will find us.
None of us are named Desire,
and we're always being pulled about.
And if you want to ride us
on some lines you got to get out and push us.
But, we're still the United States' only mobile National Monuments.
What are we?
HintIn New Orleans, a close kin runs on Desire Street.
AnswerThe San Francisco Cable Cars. The Cable Car Barn & Powerhouse in San Francisco is where every cable car, unique in that they are the only street railway in which the cars do not operate under their own power, is pulled along its hilly track by an underground cable. The cable is gripped with a vise-like mechanism that is operated via the grip lever in the front of the car.
Cars on the Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason lines must be rotated to reverse direction at each end of the line, an operation performed on turntables and at stops where the passengers help push the cars about. The cable car lines are named for the streets along which they run. In 1964 an official ceremony at Hyde and Beach designated San Francisco's cable car system, the nation's only "moving" National Historic Landmark. The singer, Tony Bennett's song: 'I left my heart in San Francisco'.

I see everyone talk on a daily basis about what we can do and cannot do. I do not understand the salary cap or how it works. Can someone with some knowledge please explain who we can expect to keep?
How much can we realistically offer each player? I see this team being two years out with the current roster. Will we be a.e to make it that far with who we have or what pieces can we expect to lose due to not having enough money?

Wednesday matinees: Track all three NL Central contenders with SN's scoreboard
First, kudos to St. Louis Cardinals rookie Michael Wacha for his no-hit bid in the midst of a pennant race. More important for the Redbirds, Wacha's gem helped moved them closer to clinching the NL Central.
Second, congrats to the Detroit Tigers for finally nailing down a playoff berth, courtesy of a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. They almost clinched the AL Central crown, but Cleveland Indians pinch hitter extraordinaire Jason Giambi had other ideas.
MORE: Standings | Scoreboard | Postseason schedule | Photos: Playoff clinchers
Indians 5, White Sox 4: Giambi belted a pinch-hit two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a stunning win. Giambi drove a 1-1 pitch from Addison Reed deep into the lower deck in right field to prevent a potentially devastating loss for the Indians, who haven't been to the postseason since 2007. Giambi's heart-pounding shot bailed out controversial closer Chris Perez, who gave up two homers in the top of the ninth and nearly blew a game Cleveland had to have.
Rays 7, Yankees 0: Matt Moore had New York flailing for five wild innings, and Tampa Bay beat New York on Tuesday night to push them to the brink of missing out on the postseason for the second time in 19 years. The Yankees trail the Indians by five games and also are behind the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. The Yankees would be eliminated Wednesday if Cleveland wins and they lose.
Rangers 3, Astros 2: Adrian Beltre homered at home for the first time in more than a month and Texas stayed one game behind Cleveland for the second wild-card berth. The Rangers are 16-2 this season against Houston, winning the last 10. It's the most wins Texas has ever had in a season against one team.
Blue Jays 3, Orioles 2 (10 innings): Toronto eliminated Baltimore from the playoff hunt, using two RBI singles by Mark DeRosa. Baltimore's sixth straight loss, combined with Cleveland's comeback win, left the Orioles six games behind the Indians for the final wild-card slot with five games left.
GOOD NEWS FOR O's: Machado injury not as serious as feared
Mariners 4, Royals 0: Kansas City suffered a big blow with the loss in Seattle. M's rookie James Paxton struck out 10 in seven innings, and Justin Smoak hit a decisive three-run homer in the fifth inning. KC fell to four games behind Cleveland for the second berth.
Cardinals 2, Nationals 0: Wacha, a 22-year-old rookie right-hander, missed a no-no by inches. He couldn't corral a two-out chopper by Ryan Zimmerman that turned into an infield hit. Cardinals shortstop Pete Kozma made a nifty barehanded grab, but his throw to first baseman Matt Adams was wide and Zimmerman avoided the tag.
Pirates 8, Cubs 2: Gerrit Cole threw six strong innings and Pittsburgh took over the NL wild-card lead. The Pirates moved one game ahead of Cincinnati, which lost to the New York Mets 4-2. Pittsburgh remained two games behind NL Central-leading St. Louis. One night after clinching their first postseason spot in 21 years, Cole and the Pirates showed few signs of a letdown. Cole hit a two-run single, Pedro Alvarez drove in three runs and Jordy Mercer homered.
Mets 4, Reds 2: Jonathon Niese limited Cincinnati's offense for seven innings, and Daniel Murphy hit a three-run homer, leading New York to a victory that dealt a costly setback to the Reds' hopes of another division title. Cincinnati's Mike Leake (14-7) gave up four runs and eight hits in only 1 2/3 innings, matching the shortest start of his career.

The battles the regiment fought in were listed on the flag: Charleston, Vicksburg, Jackson and Mission Ridge.Meanwhile, other units used their own flags. It wasn't until the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis that state officials realized a standard flag was needed.That design, however, had to be tweaked for the Jamestown Exposition three years later because the colors on the white field of cloth showed through to the other side.The details of the current flag were spelled out very specifically in a legislative resolution passed on March 7, 1929 -- it had to have the same proportions as the U.S. ensign, a coat of arms and a wreath of rhododendron.Source: West Virginia Heritage EncyclopediaState bird: Cardinal is a popular choiceNo originality here. West Virginia, along with six other states, adopted the northern cardinal as its state bird, no doubt because the male's red plumage looks so pretty in the snow -- to which many a photographer can attest.Those schoolchildren who voted on the bird in 1949 weren't thinking of the drab-shaded but prolific female (a she-cardinal usually lays two, sometimes three sets of eggs during one breeding season).Still, the handsome male, with his jaunty head crest and black mask, is a good father, taking care of the brood once they leave the nest.Cardinal couples are monogamous. Their courtship ritual begins with the male offering the female a morsel of food and they may sing a courtship duet, as both genders have beautiful voices.The cardinal can be found in every state from the Mississippi River east to the Atlantic Ocean. The northern cardinal does not migrate. They prefer the woods but can be attracted to backyard feeders with black oil sunflower or safflower seed.Source: Hammond's Nature Atlas of America, About.com and The West Virginia EncyclopediaState tree: Sugar maple prized for sap, colors In 1949, schoolchildren in West Virginia voted for the sugar maple to be the state tree of West Virginia.Three other states -- New York, Vermont and Wisconsin -- also selected the sugar maple, Acer saccharum, as their state tree. The leaf of the tree is best recognized as it appears on the Canadian flag.The tree thrives at elevations of 2,500 feet and higher and can reach heights of 80 to 90 feet and 2 to 3 feet in diameter."They grow from southeast Canada through New England and the Midwestern United States, south to Tennessee and Virginia. They are found typically in deep, rich, well-drained soils. Often planted as ornamental and shade trees, they are prized for their fall colors of brilliant yellow, orange and sometimes red. The hard wood is used to make furniture, veneer, cabinets and many other items," according to the U.S. National Arboretum website.The tree is the principal source of maple sugar. In 2007 in West Virginia, 2,773 gallons of maple syrup was produced. Each year, the Pickens Maple Syrup Festival takes place on the third full weekend of March.State fruit: Golden Delicious is world famous In 1972, the generic apple was the state fruit. But years later, the Legislature picked the apple -- the Golden Delicious developed in a Clay County orchard.In 1995, Sen. Lloyd Jackson sponsored a resolution to make the Golden Delicious the state apple. It was not a shoo-in."A group of delegates voted against it, and Delegate Roy Givens, D-Brooke, told the House they couldn't vote for the Golden Delicious apple knowing that the Grimes Golden apple was the first apple found in West Virginia," The Charleston Gazette reported at the time.Grimes Golden was discovered in Givens' district (Wellsburg) about 1805, supposedly from a seed dropped by Johnny Appleseed. The tree producing Golden Delicious was found in 1912 in Clay County."The tree was purchased by Stark Brothers Nursery, which built a cage around the tree and protected it for many years while propagating the Golden Delicious worldwide," wrote Bob Schwarz, a former Gazette reporter, in 2006.By then, the Golden Delicious was the second most popular apple in the country.State butterfly: The monarch reignsIn 1995, teacher Anita Conn told the Gazette that a group of former Andrews Heights Elementary School pupils -- then seniors at St. Albans High School -- deserved credit for the monarch becoming West Virginia's state butterfly.She said that in 1986, the pupils wrote to all 55 county school systems, asking youngsters to vote for an official bug.Forty counties replied, overwhelmingly choosing the monarch. Afterward, the Andrews Heights pupils -- including one dressed as a butterfly -- visited the Legislature for four years to lobby, and finally gained success.In the fall, the orange and black monarch migrates south to warmer weather, sometimes as far as Mexico and South America. The following spring, the butterflies return north; along the way, they lay eggs on milkwood plants and die.Source: Hammond's Nature Atlas of AmericaState rock: What else? CoalBituminous coal became West Virginia's official state rock in 2009 when Gov. Joe Manchin signed a House of Delegates resolution.The designation was based primarily on coal's contribution to the state's economy and history. West Virginia is the nation's No. 2 coal producer.The resolution notes that explorer John Peter Salley found coal near Racine in 1742 and named the Coal River as a result. George Washington observed a Mason County coal fire in 1770, and Conrad Cotts opened the state's first commercial coal mine near Wheeling in 1810, according to the resolution. In 1950, 127,000 coal miners were employed in the industry. Coal production reached its peak in 1997 at 180 million tons of coal mined.State soil: Monongahela silt loam is productive"There's always been plenty of dirt in state government. On Monday, Gov. Cecil Underwood made it official," Gazette reporter Phil Kabler wrote in 1997.The day before, on Nov. 10, the governor accepted the new official seal for the official state soil, Monongahela silt loam.In passing the concurrent resolution, legislators made West Virginia the 12th state to have an official soil."The state has a number of symbols that represent its natural resources, and soil is one of the most important natural resources," said Rob Pate, president of the West Virginia Association of Professional Soil Scientists."People are a lot farther removed from the soil these days," Pate said. By having to learn about the official state soil, students will get the opportunity to study soil conservation, he said.Monongahela silt loam was selected as the state soil because it is highly productive and covers more than 100,000 acres in 45 of the 55 counties.The seal for the state soil was painted by Bill Dawson of Huntington and features a pastoral scene with a barn and a hillside cross-sectioned to reveal the layers that make up Monongahela silt loam.State firearm: Not just any flintlock, but the 1819 Hall ModelThe newest official state symbol is the firearm -- specifically the Hall Model 1819 flintlock rifle.Senate Majority Leader John Unger sponsored the measure, which the Senate passed in mid-March. The Berkeley County Democrat has said it was the first such rifle adopted by the U.S. Army.John Hall developed the rifle and had it manufactured at the National Armory in Harpers Ferry. The early 1800s weapon was one of the first breach-loading military rifles."The flintlock was the first entirely machine-made weapon ever devised," West Virginia Public Broadcasting reported in March. "The weapon was first to be able to be loaded by removing a block from the barrel near the operator instead of pouring powder and ramming the bullet into the muzzle."The WVPB report said the Army first commissioned Hall to make 100 rifles, then 1,000 more in 1819. It is thought to be one of the guns laying at the feet of the miner and farmer on the Great Seal of West Virginia.The resolution cleared the House of Delegates on April 4.State colors: Old gold and blueFor the West Virginia centennial celebration in 1963, a concurrent resolution of the Senate and House of Delegates made official what many people already assumed was official: that West Virginia's colors were those of West Virginia University -- gold and blue."The colors, according to the widely used Pantone color matching system, are PMS 286 (blue) and PMS 124 (gold)," noted an article in the West Virginia Encyclopedia, published by the West Virginia Humanities Council.State tartan: West Virginia shawlReprinted from Today in the Legislature, a blog of the West Virginia Legislature, on March 13, 2008:On March 6, the Legislature adopted House Concurrent Resolution 29, designating an adaptation of the "West Virginia Shawl" as the official state tartan.Many Americans can claim Celtic roots, and, as a result, more than 20 other states have adopted official state tartans. According to the resolution, a majority of West Virginia's earliest settlers were of Celtic descent.The pattern for the tartan is based on a previously undiscovered "West Virginia Shawl" found at the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum in Barboursville. The official state tartan is based on this design and contains the following colors, each one representing a different aspect of the state: Scarlet for the state bird, the cardinal Yellow for the fall colors Blue for the rivers and lakes Black for the official state animal, the black bear, and the state's oil and coal resources Green for the state flower, the rhododendron, and the state's meadows Azure for the sky White in order to include all the colors of the United States Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 Innerviews: Dual-identity surgeon riding high in horse racing world 2 Huggins, WVU tap South Florida hoops talent 3 WVU seeking improvements during off week 4 Former State Police captain now chief in Winfield 5 Rod Run and Doo Wop brings classic cars, music to Boulevard for 12th year State gem: Fossil coral comes from land's oceanic past Previous Story Smell the Coffee: The possum in the toilet wasn't playing dead Next Story

- Y'all come down to Franklin for some Texas brisket now.
Down in Austin, Franklin is the king
Pinnacle of Texas BBQ.
As Waylon Jennings once sang, Austin, Texas, is "the home of Willie Nelson, it's the home of Western swing..." And today, it's also home to the famed Franklin BBQ.
This will not be your "off the beaten path"–type story, or some hidden secret that's finally being let out of the bag. The function of this article is simply to rub it in (pun intended?) and gloat that I've tasted and experienced one of the greatest barbecue destinations in the world.
I'm not going to pretend I was sitting in a local dive bar, seated next to Sam Elliott and chomping on some fine Texas barbecue when I first heard of this place. This would not be true. The voyage that led me to this tiny trailer of a barbecue joint started simple; a buddy of mine told me about it and said it's "insanely delicious barbecue." From this piece of information, I quickly did a search and found that Franklin is the pinnacle of Texas barbecue.
That's it, I told myself. If I had one "must-do" while in Austin, it was this.
My plan was to visit on Saturday morning, which gave me a couple of days to chat with locals and learn more about the place. Immediately, the advice was that it's imperative to arrive early, due to the long line. A line for food? I've done it before, but not too often.
Seldom is a place worthy of a line. It's like going to the Louvre in Paris and seeing the Mona Lisa. You wait in line, battle the crowds and finally after wading through a beehive of art freaks, you arrive. It's one of the most famous paintings in the world, and there it is. Okay, cool. I just passed about 400 other stunning paintings, and now this one doesn't seem all that impressive.
At those times when something is overhyped and doesn't meet or exceed expectations, there's a lingering sense of disappointment – a.k.a. the Mona Lisa Syndrome. This is always my greatest concern when standing in line, and something I hoped to avoid.
Just about everybody I met raved about the place, but it wasn't necessarily everyone's favorite. For some people, it's just personal preference. Some like their barbecue spicy or slathered with sauce, but Franklin only uses salt and pepper, and relies on its oak-fired pit to smoke and flavor the meat.
Over the course of three days, people explained the ins and outs of Texas barbecue: the different types of woods used for flavor, the difference between a fatty and lean brisket, and even proper cooking temperatures. School was in session, and this student was soaking it all up.
Saturday morning arrived, and my plan was to get there no later than 10 a.m. (it opens at 11). I was up and at em' early, so I made my way over, getting there just before 9:30.
What's this? There was already a line zigzagging down the ramp from the front door, along the side of the restaurant and out across the parking lot. Throngs of people lined the pavement, seated in fold-out lawn chairs, hiding under umbrellas and sipping beverages from their tailgate-sized coolers.
Was this a restaurant we were waiting for, or a UT Longhorns football game? It was unbelievable. There had to be 150 people already in front of me.
I took my spot, amazed by the size of the line. A hundred and fifty may not seem like too many – but by the look of the outside, the inside can't hold more than 50 people. It resembled a mobile home and appeared to be about the same size.
Shortly after, a woman walked down the line and informed us that we would not be eating until about two hours after they opened. Two hours? After they opened? They don't even open for another hour and a half. "So let me get this straight," I thought to myself, "I will be waiting nearly four hours to get a slab of brisket?"
That's nuts. I thought for sure this type of information would deter a lot of people, but not a single person budged. Oh well...it was a nice day in Austin, and I had heard so many great things that I had no choice but to wait. No big deal.
During the long morning that spilled over into early afternoon, I chatted with people mostly about Austin and barbecue. I met one guy who drove all the way from Houston to visit this place. Clearly the dedication to good BBQ was not lacking. Once opening, the line slowly inched forward and a couple of the employees came out offering drinks. They even brought us some small sausage wraps to quell our hunger until we made it inside.
We finally made our way inside. As I imagined, it was small, with one long bench table that ran along the window and seven or eight smaller tables scattered about. I approached the front and felt like Sir Edmund Hillary conquering Mt. Everest. Overhead, George Jones music (who had passed away the day before) played through the speakers.
- "He stopped loving her today
- They placed a wreath upon his door
- And soon they'll carry him away
- He stopped loving her today."
Placed in front of me on the cutting board was a giant, uncut slab of brisket, charred and glistening, just waiting to be consumed. It was sliced in half, and the man behind the counter held it up, showed it to me, and asked if I liked my brisket with a bit of fat. I'd heard the fattier part is the best, and what he was showing me looked perfect, so I confirmed. He sliced off a few pieces, tossing them onto a paper plate, and then filled the plate with some beef ribs. I added a side of potato salad and beans.
I took a seat and immediately began to consume my feast. Sinking my fangs into the brisket, it was clear that I would not be struck by Mona Lisa Syndrome. This was fantastic.

Hi, i'm an Austinite with inlaws in San Diego who sent me this. I hope you didn't come to Austin to eat BBQ and only go to Franklin! if so you missed:
Micklethwait's, a few blocks east of Franklin in a trailer: this is the one no one knows about yet. As good or better than Franklin, but more traditional.
La Barbeque: google it, it has a semi-scandalous and kind of funny past. it's in a trailer in south Austin and has been there about 8 months i think. Also more traditional.
Hays County BBQ in San Marcos: 45 minutes south of Austin and worth the drive. Possibly the best pork ribs on the planet.
Kruez, Smitty's, and Black's in Lockhart: 45 minutes southeast of Austin, this is for many of us the old-school bbq mecca. To be honest, with the exception of Kreuz sausage and saurkraut, all of the aforementioned places make better BBQ than the old-school Lockhart places (and believe me i cringe when i hear myself say this) but it's worth the trip to Lockhart for the history and tradition.
If you plan to come back, you might want to see if you can get tix (they sell out quickly) to Texas Monthly's bbq fest in the fall, where you can sample the top 50 (by their ranking) bbqs in Texas.
Johnny Caito May 9, 2013 @ 4:53 p.m.
I just checked out the Texas Monthly BBQ Fest. Looks amazing! This is something I may have to do. I got a taste for good BBQ and have been craving it since I got back.

He was born Giuseppe (Joseph) Palattella, but he would become "DON 1, M.A.F.IA."
The Italian-American teen from Queens helped put the borough and the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit (BMT) subway lines on the 1970s graffiti map. Decades later, a new book hopes to rediscover that legacy.
One of his fans, Louie, "KR.ONE," Gasparro, brings back to light the now-reclusive artist in "DON1, the King from Queens: The Life and Photos of a NYC Transit Graffiti Master."
Gasparro, 48, grew up in the same Long Island City/Astoria area as DON 1, where he became an admirer of his subway art. It later influenced Gasparro's own graffiti work.
During the mid-80s Gasparro, who knew DON 1's brother, asked him if DON 1 would be interested in collaborating with him on some murals in Astoria. But he turned him down.
Gasparro, a graphic designer, painter and musician, tried to reach out to DON 1 again in 2002 to interview him for a graffiti website. After a year and half of phone conversations, the two finally met in person.
"He was unaware of how influential he was," Gasparro said.
When they met, DON 1 came up with the idea for the book.
The special thing about this book is it documents the graffiti on the BMT lines, which ran through Queens and other boroughs, Gasparro said.
"When the world found out about New York City [graffiti], they found out about the Bronx and Manhattan," Gasparro added.
DON 1, born to Italian immigrants, was artistically talented from a young age. In 1973, he was accepted into Manhattan's High School of Art & Design.
There, he was first introduced to the world of graffiti artists or "writers," as they preferred to be called.
"He was right at the cusp of the beginning of it," Gasparro said.
"DON 1 still is, without argument, one of the true BMT/IND masters that pushed the aesthetic envelope beyond its scope," one of his contemporaries, Lee Quinones, writes in the book.
Along with remembrances from fellow writers and DON 1, the book is full of vivid photos of the work of DON 1 and other graffiti artists. DON 1, as a photography major at Art & Design, thought it was vital to document his art.
DON 1's illustrative and photography skills landed him jobs with several magazines after high school.
But his creative path changed in 1978 due to a psychological condition, which DON 1 details in the book, and leading him to his now reclusive life.
Yet, the inventive artist still lives inside of him, Gasparro said. And his influence will likely always loom large on the writers of the era.
"There is no one better to represent Queens than DON 1," Gasparro said.
Gasparro will be signing copies of the book at the Astoria Bookshop, 31-29 31st St., at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 29.

Surgery for Glaucoma and a CataractSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Cataracts may occur in people who also have glaucoma. This commonly occurs in older adults.
If you have glaucoma and cataracts, you may consider having surgery for both conditions at the same time. Depending on which condition caused the vision loss, you may have improved vision after surgery.
- If the vision loss before surgery was mostly caused by the cataract, you may have noticeable improvement in your vision. Also, surgery may delay the progression of vision loss caused by glaucoma.
- If the vision loss before surgery was mostly caused by glaucoma, rather than the cataract, you may not have much improvement in vision after surgery. But surgery may slow the loss of vision caused by glaucoma.
Cataract surgery alone is quicker and less complicated than having both surgeries at the same time.
In many cases where glaucoma and cataract occur together, surgery to treat both conditions may be done at the same time.
If you have both glaucoma and cataracts, talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of combined surgery to treat both conditions.

The secular Children's Scholarship Fund has helped about 50 students attending local Jewish day schools. Applications for assistance are due March 1.
Larry Bell, a father of five from Northeast Philadelphia, works a second job in sales for an energy company to supplement the income from his primary position as a tax collector for the Internal Revenue Service.
If it weren't for financial assistance from Politz Hebrew Academy in the Northeast, where his children attend, and from the Children's Scholarship Fund Philadelphia, Bell said he would be out looking for a third source of income.
"If we didn't have scholarships, it would come right out of our pockets," said Bell, who lives in Rhawnhurst. "It would be much tighter, and we would have to be much more creative."
The secular Children's Scholarship Fund, which describes itself as the largest provider of K-8th grade scholarships in the Philadelphia area, currently serves about 4,100 students. About 50 of those students attend local Jewish day schools, according to director Ina Lipman.
The organization uses a lottery system to provide need-based scholarships. About 40 percent of the funds come from companies donating through state tax credit programs, Lipman said.
"We find the long term success of our organization is real and measurable," Lipman said, citing a study showing that more than 96 percent of those who receive the group's assistance graduate from junior high — and they do so while testing at grade level.
Bell said he has benefited from the organization for seven years and has seen how the scholarships help other families at Politz and at Congregation Ahavas Torah, an Orthodox synagogue in the Northeast to which his family belongs.
With 23 years and counting at the IRS, Bell said he's gotten insight into the finances of people at various socioeconomic levels.
"It's tougher for everybody," he says. "Unless you're a zillionaire, it's a struggle."
The deadline to apply for assistance from the Children's Scholarship Fund Philadelphia is March 1. Find the details by visiting: csfphiladelphia.org or calling 215-670-8411.

The Eagle is made of Sterling Silver. It was made by, or for, the Miller Brewery Company and given as Presentation Pieces to CEOs of the company (I think...but am not certain.)
It is marked Miller along the base and signed by the artisan on the bottom. It is stamped 925/Sterling.
I discovered this little treasure in a Thrift Shop, about 10 years ago and have no idea what to do with it.
I believe Miller sterling silver Eagles were produced during the 1970s. Has anyone ever seen a similar Eagle?
Curiosity is "driving me bananas."

Benefit Eyecon Reviews
Works wellBe careful not to get to close to the lash line works good, but can sting. Pricey for the small container. — 5 years, 12 months agomissheatherette | 438 reviews
Benefit EyeconDoes this product help with under eye circles? No not really, nor did it firm or smooth my lines. It also burnt my under eye area. I wasn't at all impressed with this product, and I don't find it worth the money. I also prefer my eye products in a tube, less contamination. I won't be buying this product again. — 9 years, 1 month agolesa5363 | 352 reviews

Doesn't live up to claimsI got this product as a deluxe sample and wasn't impressed. It did nothing for the minor darkness at my inner eyes nor did it have any impact on the skin around my eyes. This product made my skin feel like it needed another moisturizer. My skin felt somewhat dry when I woke up in the mornings. Another downside was that it somewhat burned the outer corners of my eyes and under eye area.

Global wheat production in 2013/14 is projected to reach 697.8 million tons, up 1.9 million this month. About half of the increase is in the United States, with foreign production up 1.0 million tons to 640.3 m illion. Several major exporting countries had increased production prospects, namely, the European Union, Australia, and the United States, while a reduction of wheat production in Kazakhstan is partly offsetting.
Australia's wheat production is projected up 1.0 million tons this month to 25.5 million, partly based on increased area, up 0.1 million hectares to reach 13.7 million. Wheat has already been planted on about 95 percent of projected area. Timely June rains in some eastern and southern wheat-producing regions and better returns encouraged farmers to expand area planted for wheat, to the third highest level on record, partly at the expense of canola. The same timely precipitation has also boosted soil moisture and supported crop establishment raising yield prospects slightly on the month.
Beginning this month with the addition of Croatia, the European Union (EU) consists of 28 member countries. All data for the EU have been updated back to 1999/2000, and year-to-year comparisons are currently valid. Last month's (June) estimates are from the June World Agricultural supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) and do not include Croatia. When compared with the month of June, new information or data involving Croatia will carry a special note. Note that the changes involving Croatia integration into the EU do not affect the world and foreign production totals. As Croatia changes its status from being a separate entity to a part of the EU, its estimates are added to the EU numbers, and simultaneously deducted from the totals.
EU wheat production is projected to reach 138.6 million tons in 2013/14, up 1.2 million tons this month, the third largest crop on record. Note that Croatian wheat production included in this increase went from 0.8 to 0.9 million tons. This month's wheat yield prospects are increased for a number of countries in the central and south-eastern regions of the union (Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Croatia) with the arrival of much needed warmer weather. Wheat production is also up in the United Kingdom, where area planted for wheat is estimated higher (late planting at the start of a cold spring) with a slightly lower projected yield. These increases more than offset reductions for France, Ireland, Spain, and Greece. Italian wheat production is also reduced slightly.
There is also a small increase in wheat yield and output in Moldova, where crop conditions are excellent, and in Kyrgyzst an which has a slightly higher reported wheat area.
Partly offsetting the above increases is the reduction of wheat production in Kazakhstan, down 0.5 million to ns this month to 14.5 million. This reflects official numbers on planted area that turned out to be lower than expected by 0.8 million hectares.

New Record Bass for Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center's Lake Zebco
ATHENS—Spring break 2011 will long be remembered as special by Chris McCaskill, 18, of Lewisville.
About noon March 15 McCaskill was fishing in TFFC's 1.5-acre casting pond when he caught a 10.72-pound largemouth bass, a new water body record. McCaskill was targeting blue and channel catfish or rainbow trout with a night crawler when the big bass bit.
While that is a big fish for a little pond, it would be a mere snack for the record blue catfish caught from the pond, a 37.9-pound monster.
The previous Lake Zebco record largemouth bass was caught in April 2010 by Colton Seeton and weighed 10.17 pounds. Since bass fishing in Lake Zebco is catch-and-release only, it is possible Seeton and McCaskill caught the same fish.
McCaskill is the son of Chris and Jeannette McCaskill of Lewisville.
Fishing at TFFC is available Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. No fishing license is needed, and all bait and tackle are furnished. Fishing is free with paid admission, and visitors may harvest up to five rainbow trout at no charge as long as the fish are available, probably until early May.
For information and directions, call (903) 676-2277 or visit tpwd.texas.gov/tffc. Athens is 75 miles southeast of Dallas, and TFFC is at 5550 F.M. 2495.

If anyone who comes up to you this week and says traders and investors are leaving for holiday vacation, and that there isn't much doing, simply laugh in their face. If you happen to read that trading floors are ghost towns, ignore the statement. The real deal is that, in a world of smartphones and online brokerages, you'd best believe that a sea of sell orders will flood the market if things get ugly.
That said, here's what comes about if folks believe five full trading days will be meaningless due to the impending Christmas holiday: complacency. There is such a wait-and-see attitude out there that, if it's left to fester -- and it will -- it will become very possible to chip away at the market's gains from mid-November (last Thursday short-term peak). We are all fully aware of why complacency exists; folks are waiting for resolution on the fiscal cliff. But you must know what I'm talking about.
The Great Search for Complacency
To those wearing the gorilla costume and pounding the table on stocks -- a call derived from irrationality -- allow me to present these three wonderful charts in support of my ongoing bearish market call. First, there is the Russell 1000 Index. I don't really care if the index is only down 0.8% since Dec. 10 (bulls love their relative comparisons). The fact is that this reeks of the type of complacency that deserves to be wrung from these stocks' valuations as fiscal-cliff drama continues to mount.
Why does complacency in this index bother me? Well, spy the reads in the railroad and consumer-discretionary stocks, obviously both U.S.-centric and very leading-indicator-ish. Both of these indices also display complacency; in other words, they confirm that the overall market has not properly discounted the economic effects of fiscal cliff. If stocks aren't properly discounted, it means a risk that we'll see further drainage of the bullish sentiment that has fueled the market since the mid-November lows.
Note: Since Dec. 10, the S&P Railroad Index has fallen 0.8% and the S&P Consumer Discretionary Index has sunk 0.5%.
Complacency Plus Nervous Investors Equals What?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when we see complacency on a large event with uncertain outcomes -- all currently poised to be negative ones -- there is risk as to how fresh news will be interpreted. For example, in this case, I am concerned about fiscal-cliff resolution with increasingly a combative tone, and I've responded to the Fed's latest actions with a big yawn, to say the least. On top of this, a few reports ahead may add to this level of angst.
Empire State/Philadelphia Fed Surveys: The market has shown a less-than-favorable response to housing data -- at this point, it almost expects the number to be positive. But it is really locked and loaded on manufacturing and consumer spending reads -- and, in this regard, the recovery mystique that once circled these macroeconomic stories has receded into the background. Both the Empire State and Philly Fed have the potential to be a double-whammy of negativity, in the form of renewed weakness in new orders and persistent limpness in employment. That's prior to the onset of fiscal cliff, which will spur recession talk for the first half 2013.
FedEx (FDX): I don't think the company will come in near the low end of its quarterly earnings guidance and issue another material warning for its fiscal year -- and normally, when this sixth sense of mine kicks into gear, I suggest buying the stock into the print. Alas, in this case we're dealing with the long shadow of the fiscal cliff, and with it comes a feeling that U.S. package volume may get uglier in the event that there's no year-end deal -- or that we'll see something highly subpar. (U.S. package volume was down 5% in the prior quarter.)
This is a great example of the wait-and-see mindset currently dominating the market -- a lack of trust in indications of trough earnings. I have more comfort in playing my 2013 pick, Nike (NKE), into that company's report. For Nike, the China recovery is mopping up excess inventory; it's coming into a strong U.S. footwear cycle; and price increases are offsetting manufacturing-cost inflation.
Risk-reward scenario: It's even more unsavory than what I detailed last week. I'm having nightmares about those long nights from the summer of 2011, when the debt ceiling debates were ongoing.

The recipe started as nothing more than an idea inspired by a huge bunch of kale I trimmed from my plants and some Colosimos Hot Italian Sausage leftover from a party that needed to be used. I looked at a few recipes that with kale and Italian sausage before deciding to make pasta, and then just made up the recipe as I went along. If you don't have kale I think you could also make this with spinach or chard, but the way the kale became tender and sweet in this dish will probably make a kale convert out of you if you're not sure whether you like it!
Pasta with Hot Italian Sausage, Kale, Garlic, and Red Pepper Flakes
(Makes about 6 generous servings, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from many recipes she saw online.)
3 links (12 oz) hot Italian sausage (use hot turkey Italian sausage for South Beach Diet)
8 oz. kale leaves, thinly sliced (about 12 cups thinly sliced kale)
6 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped (I would not use garlic from a jar for this recipe)
3 T + 1-2 tsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (use more or less to taste)
2 cups homemade chicken stock or 1 can chicken broth
1 pkg. (13.25 oz.) Dreamfields Rotini pasta (or use your favorite whole wheat, gluten-free, or regular pasta in a shape like this)
salt for pasta cooking water (at least 1 T)
1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

That could be an issue for any player on our squad, it's just that Lance is the only one who may have to deal with it. Factor in Granger being up and down, healthy and not healthy, and all the inconsistancy involved with that, and it can have it's effect.
I'm not saying it's a reason to keep Granger from finishing, and I'm not saying I don't want him to get healthy. I'm just pointing out the realities of what happens if a healthy Granger returns.

Everyone on stage is a suspect in the murder of young Edwin Drood, and it's up to you to choose the killer! Is it John Jasper, Edwin's protective but slightly maniacal uncle? Rosa Bud, his reluctant betrothed? The debauched Princess Puffer? Each performance ends differently, depending on what the audience decides!

My name is Kåre Albert Lie, and I live in Norway. I first got interested in buddhism around 1970. I studied Pali on my own (using mainly Warder), and later Pali and Sanskrit at the University in Oslo. I got my first real introduction to meditation from the Burmese teacher U Janaka.
I have translated several Pali and Sanskrit texts into Norwegian, and I have also written some books on different aspects of buddhism ... also in Norwegian. At present I am writing an anthology of Pali texts (translated into Norwegian), in cooperation with The Buddhist Association of Norway, where we are trying to present a condensed, but also comprehensive picture of the life and teachings of the Buddha - a kind of Mini-Tipitaka in one volume.

On that onside kick, doesn't the ball have to go 10 yards?? It sure did NOT.....
It's funny watching teams get all fired up about trying to come back and score three TD's late on us.....
Memo to the Colts D:
The game isn't over.
This game is far from over, thanks to the Colts forgetting how to play defense.

Completely pathetic job by the Colts this quarter.
Umm - maybe we could have played some defense there?
Let's go Peyton - it shouldn't of had to come to this.
What the hell are the Colts doing out there?
What a poor job by this team closing out this game. NO SENSE THAT'S IT'S THIS WAY!!!!!!!

Marywood Receives Award from United Way
Published on Thu, May 08, 2014
Marywood University was awarded the 2013-2014 Spirit of Caring Chairman's Award from the United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties. Patricia Dunleavy, Ph.D., associate vice president for human resources, accepted the award on the University's behalf.
The Spirit of Caring Chairman's Award represents United Way's highest honor and is presented annually to organizations, individuals, or employee groups that exemplify the true spirit of the United Way movement—people helping people.
In a letter to Marywood, Peter Danchak, campaign chair of the United Way, said, "Creative and energetic campaign efforts proved to be tremendously successful throughout your entire campus. I am delighted to honor you for your commitment to making the community better, healthier and stronger!"
Each year, Marywood employees participate in a campaign in support of The United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties. Contributions from the yearly campaign support agencies as varied as the Lackawanna Branch, PA Association for the Blind, The ARC of NEPA, St. Joseph's Center, Catholic Social Services, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of NEPA.
This year, students from the Communication Arts Department created an event, Scopstacle, a combination colors run, obstacle course, and scavenger hunt. "We wanted to be original," said Brielle Mayle, a senior. It's that originality that Ms. Mayle, her classmates, and representative of the United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne Counties hope will generate interest and excitement for community service in a younger demographic.
Proceeds from the Scobstacle fundraiser were donated to the United Way. Nikki Keller, vice president of marketing for the United Way, hopes to replicate the Scobstacle fundraiser on other college campuses as well.
