See this current thread for a bunch of folk saying you have to break in that barrel and about the same number of persons saying there is absolutely no need to:

Many barrel makers and benchrest champions do no break in. Add to that, we are talking about a 270, probably not weighted, stocked or scoped to shoot reliably shoot under .75".
A break in routine is fine, but I would rather just see you get it clean of fouling every 30-40 rounds. Often accuracy will head south around that point, but depending on your build, optic, load or skill, it is good to count rounds to 40.

Here is the FAQ page for Hart barrels. There is a short blurb on not needing to break in Hart barrels.

"The informed Vs the lazy".
Or the misinformed VS the informed.
But the Emperor is naked.
I am sure most readers here know the kids story of the Emperors New Cloths.
It is a perfect example of an ugly part of human nature. Disinformation and misinformation are rampant in the world, and in the USA for sure. Unfortunately those in the gun industry are not immune to it. And those that are profiting from it are unfortunate those the start it.
In the days when most barrels had very visible machine marks in their bores and in the grooves lapping and "break ins" were common practices to gain a slicker finish in the bore, which would lead to better accuracy.
Now days when we look at most of the better barrels we see finishes down to 2000 micron. "Break-in" does NOT give a finer finish than this.
This post did start with the mention of a Hart barrel, which is a very good barrel.
So why do barrels fired a few times shoot better?
Ask any good rifle competitor.
We NEVER shoot a match with a perfectly clean bore. Always fire a few "fowlers" before you shoot for score. The coefficient of friction is different between a fouled bore and a clean bore, enough so to make the first shots be off a bit. They are not "breaking in the barrels" at each match. They are jest making sure everything is as consistent as it can be.
I have been a gunsmith and a shooter for MANY years now. I am neither lazy nor uninformed. I have a good reputation in this country as well as several other countries for my work and skills. In my life I have barreled or re-barreled over 1600 rifles.
I assure you, break in is NOT necessary on a Hart barrel.

Barrel breaking in processes are exactly like politics, religion, intimate relations with others, profession, habitat and and eating food. Do whatever makes you feel best and gets what you want from it while engaged in it.

Match Grade barrels are lapped smooth, but when the chamber is cut to your caliber there may be some rough spots, cool down is more important. 1 round every 5 minutes, clean after 5 rounds & see what the barrel is doing, if you see alot of copper, shoot another 5 and clean, if copper is less then your done. That is what I do, hope I helped Chris

As was posted a little higher up, Hart feels that breaking in barrels is hogwash.
"We believe that all men are justified in defending themselves, their friends, and property, and the government, from the unlawful assaults and encroachments of all persons in times of exigency, where immediate appeal cannot be made to the laws, and relief afforded."

Read the link provided from hart carefully, and you will discover, it's not clear on this issue at all. Hart is saying your barrel will not give you any problems whatever that means. But that's not why people do this procedure, they do it for 2 reason. 1) They think it improves accuracy 2) They think it results in a barrel that holds less copper per given shot string.
I have no idea if it increases accuracy but if you read the next paragraph on the Hart link they actually say that you need to clean and shoot if you are retaining to much copper.
There has yet to be an actual study on this idea of barrel break in. Until then it's opinions even though some of them are expert opinion, still opinion.

Okay, so we don't start a fight let me just say this... Whether you believe in 'break-in' or not. It wont hurt anything, assuming you clean correctly and don't damage anything. It wont reduce barrel life, and it wont break anything.
Here's my suggestion. Take 1 or two shots, just to make sure the gun functions as intended. Clean between each shot. Now mount your optics, and begin getting your zero, cleaning between each shot. Eventually you'll want to test groups, and see how your new barrel groups. Shoot 3 shot groups and then clean. Repeat this a few times, using different ammo, to get a feel for how it shoots. There, that's 1/4 to 1/2 of 'break-in' and no ammo or barrel life was wasted. The most you have to lose is a couple dollars worth of cleaning supplies, and some free time.

Reamers typically used in them are sharp enough to leave no rough spots.

Has everyone read Hart on barrel break-in and what they list as cleaning instruction you have to follow.
Here they are
We do not believe that a break in procedure is required with our barrels. If you follow our normal cleaning procedure, outlined in this brochure, you should not have any problems with your new rifle. You always want to clean your rifle as often as your course of fire will allow. If you have time to shoot one and clean, that would be fine, but we personally do not feel it is necessary. Please be sure to only use the cleaning solvents listed in our cleaning instructions.
Can I get my barrel too clean?
Yes, it is possible to get your barrel too clean, or to actually dry out the stainless steel. After brushing your barrel with a brass brush soaked with Hoppe's #9, Shooters Choice, or Butch's Bore Shine & Oil, several times and letting it soak for a few minutes, run a couple of dry patches in your barrel. Shoot a few more rounds, and if there is a considerable amount of cooper or fouling, then you may need to repeat the procedure. The key is, if your rifle is performing well, then you are probably getting it clean enough.
Isn't the cleaning instruction some sort of barrel break-in?

They don't claim it's 'hogwash' they claim it shouldn't be necessary on their barrels. That is likely due to it being a high quality match barrel. The way they write their statement, it actually seems like they DO believe in barrel 'break-in' but due to the quality of their barrels that it wont offer much or any improvement on their barrels. To me, that doesn't sound like they're calling 'break-in' hogwash at all, simply that their barrels are of such quality, that 'break-in' procedures, will likely make little to no improvement.

OTTAWA - Liberal MP and charity boxing champion Justin Trudeau insists he isn't putting himself in the spotlight to spark a future leadership bid.
Trudeau re-ignited speculation about his political ambitions when he participated in -- and won -- a high-profile charity boxing match against Tory Sen. Patrick Brazeau here last weekend.
But the Quebec MP says he isn't interested in winning the party's top job.
At a press conference on Thursday, Trudeau said he made it clear more than a year ago that he wasn't interested in the leadership gig.
Trudeau said comments made by newly minted NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair are "nasty" for suggesting that interim Grit leader Bob Rae must be having a tough week due to all the attention on Trudeau.
Grit MPs including Marc Garneau and David McGuinty have expressed interest in running to become Liberal leader.
The party won't name a permanent boss until 2013, but many political observers believe Rae will run if the party's executive changes rules to allow him to take a shot at the position.

Many variables to consider.
By Marty McGhie
One of the mistakes some companies make when starting a new division is to try to fold the management of that division or service into your existing leadership or management structure. This usually doesn't work. Typically your managers will either dedicate the majority of their efforts to the new and exciting business segment, ignoring their current responsibilities, or conversely, will pay minimum attention to the new business so their current job duties aren't neglected. Having dedicated management in charge of training, personnel, quality, and customer service will greatly improve your chances of success.
Evaluate the potential costs
So far we have considered personnel, logistics, and management. After evaluating these factors, now you should be ready to deal with the financial side. It is likely that your initial decision to consider developing this particular segment of your business was tied to financial reasons. There is a point where the amount of money paid to outside companies becomes overwhelming, even irritating. You'll find yourself asking the question, "Why don't we just do this ourselves? It can't cost as much money as we are spending!"
In our case, Ferrari Color was paying several hundred thousand dollars to other installation companies. However, it took over a year of careful analysis and planning to develop a business plan that would be profitable for us. I believe that we transitioned successfully into our own installation division because we spent the necessary time and effort considering all the potential costs we could incur. Even then, we missed some, but nothing so significant that it turned our financial model upside down. By crunching the numbers and including all the factors discussed previously, you should get a good sense of whether or not expanding into a new business line will be profitable for you.
This process doesn't have to be overly complicated. The key is spending the necessary time to ensure that you have covered all your bases. You will most likely overlook some of the small things, but those won't make or break you. Just focus on the things you do well in your business as strategic advantages and identify your weaknesses as areas to pay closer attention. Once you decide to pull the trigger, make sure you give it your best efforts. Starting a new business segment will probably be frustrating and challenging, but it can also be very rewarding and ultimately save your company a lot of money.

tell me, have you been lookin' and lookin' and
can't find a lousy layered drink page anywhere? Then lay all else
aside weary World Wide Web traveler, because you have arrived
at Layered Cocktail Heaven. Just so you
know, the reason different liquors and liqueurs can be layered
on top of one another is because they are different densities
(weights). Most times all you have to do
is look at the % of alcohol on a bottle. The lower the % then
the lower it will layer....the higher the % the higher it will
layer, got it? (P.S. To find out the proof
of a bottle of liquor multiply the % by 2)
4th book, The Everything Cocktail Party
& Drinks Book, has a chapter titled, "Striped
Slurps and Sips". Here are the names of the recipes:
American Beauty, Candy Corn, Smiling Tiger, Florida Sunset, Road
Rage at the Traffic Light, Astro Pop, Cigar Band, Captain's
Stripes, Coral Snake Bite, Rhinestone Cowboy, Somewhere Over the
Rainbow, Mexican Flag, Neapolitan Nipple, Easter Egg, Cruella
DeVille, Barber Shop Sign, Wicked Witches Socks, Double Stuffed
Oreo, Minty Fresh Striped Toothpaste, and An Irish Green Eyed
Alcohols have different weights. Usually, the higher the alcohol
content, the lighter it will be, but sometimes if other ingredients
are mixed with it then the weight can change. This chart works
best if you try not to layer spirits 5-10 weights from each other.

For Taylor Weixl, choosing to start her science degree at Okanagan College's Vernon campus was about lifestyle and cost savings but she quickly reaped the rewards of small class sizes.
"Most of my labs only have 10 students in them," says Okanagan College student Taylor Weixl, who is just finishing up her second year of science at the College's Vernon campus.
"The College provides a great environment for students to start their post-secondary experience," says Jane Lister, Regional Dean of the North Okanagan.
"The ability to stay close to home, receive personalized attention from professors, and easily transfer courses to B.C. universities are huge benefits for first and second year students," she says.
"The student-professor ratio is low, so students get a lot of one-on-one time with their instructors," says Weixl.
"I've even had the opportunity to use equipment in my labs that students in the second year of an undergrad at a bigger school don't get," she says. "The best part is that all my credits will transfer to university."
Having been accepted into UBC Okanagan's Bachelor of Science degree program starting in September, Weixl plans to finish the last two years of her degree and then continue her education after graduation.
"If my grades are high enough I'd like to go to medical school or pursue graduate studies in biology," she says.
Weixl is just one of several students who will be on-hand for the Arts and Science University Transfer Information Session taking place on Mar. 13 at 6 p.m. in the Lecture Theatre at Okanagan College's Vernon Campus.
Interested students are invited to come and speak with current students and professors about the benefits of studying at the College. They will have the opportunity to learn about the value an Arts degree, find out about options for careers in science, the process for transferring credits to universities in B.C., and how to pay for their education.

Out Night returns to Ann Arbor Film Festival
Event features Barbara Hammer's 'Dyketactics'
Benjamin Jenkins
Originally printed 3/22/2012 (Issue 2012 - Between The Lines News)
Out Night returns to the 50th Ann Arbor Film Festival, North America's longest-running independent and experimental film festival, in the Michigan Theater's main auditorium at 9:30 p.m. March 28. This year's Out Night - the 11th of its kind - celebrates historic and influential LGBTQ films, featuring trailblazing lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer in person.
Hammer has created some of the first lesbian-made and LGBT-themed films in history, such as "Dyketactics" and "Women I Love." Many of her films deal with gender roles, lesbian relationships and coping with aging and family. Hammer comes to AAFF fresh off a month-long retrospective of her films at the Tate Modern in London.
Along with screenings of some of Hammer's greatest films, Out Night will feature Tina Takemoto's "Looking for Jiro" (2011); Ira Sach's "Lady" (1994); Mike Hoolboom's "Frank's Cock" (1993) and Jose Rodriguez-Soltero's "Jerovi" (1965). Soltero's film was screened at the third AAFF in 1965 and created such controversy that the University of Michigan nearly fired AAFF founder George Manupelli.
Out Night continues into the evening with an after party at Braun Court's SH\aut\ and \aut\BAR at 11 p.m. with complimentary appetizers and fire pits in the courtyard.
Ann Arbor Film Festival runs March 27-April 1 throughout various venues in downtown Ann Arbor.
AAFF also will feature two queer filmmakers during Films In Competition 11 at 1 p.m. April 1 at the Michigan Theater: George Kuchar's "Hold Me While I'm Naked" and Bobby Abate's "The Evil Eyes".
For more information, visit http://www.AAFilmFest.org/50 or call 734-995-5356.
Film Synopses
Out Night with Barbara Hammer
9:30 p.m. March 28
Michigan Theater
Barbara Hammer, 1974, 4 minutes
First film made by an openly lesbian American filmmaker to explore lesbian identity, desire and sexuality through avant-garde strategies.
Jose Rodriguez-Soltero, 1965, 11 minutes
A sexual probe of the Narcissus myth, Jerovi departs from earlier experimental work by Cocteau, Curtis Harrington, Willard Maas and others, which drew upon the Narcissus myth to explore the filmmakers' Freudian unconscious and homosexual desire.
Frank's Cock
Mike Hoolboom, 1993, 8 minutes
"A man talks about his friend Frank in a bold, funny, moving monologue about being born, living, fucking and dying as a gay man." - Sandra Cunningham, Toronto International Festival
Ira Sachs, 1994, 28 minutes
A portrait film of a purposefully unsettling kind, starring Dominique Dibbell of "The Five Lesbian Brothers." The exact identity of the redhead at the center of Lady is impossible to pin down. Is she a woman playing a man playing a woman, or more specifically, a lesbian playing a gay man playing a heterosexual woman? This purposeful ambiguity invites the audience to question the blurred parameters of sexuality, desire, and female identity.
Looking for Jiro
Tina Takemoto, 2011, 6 minutes
A queer meditation on the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, this musical mash-up video features drag king performance, U.S. war propaganda footage, muscle building and homoerotic bread making.
Films in Competition 11
1 p.m. April 1
Michigan Theater
'Hold Me While I'm Naked'
George Kuchard, 1966, 15 minutes
A direct and subtle, sad and funny look at nothing more or less than sexual frustration and aloneness.
The Evil Eyes
Bobby Abate, 2011, 20 minutes
An homage to the death of the soap opera, "The Evil Eyesis" is a 1960s era story of a grandmother faced with her mortality, a mother in mid-life crisis, and a son realizing his sexuality.

When Kate decided to write a book about the founders of Naperville for children, her first thought was to present the history as a narrative, like a DuPage County, Illinois version of "Little House on the Prairie."
In fiction, character development, dialog, conflict resolution and narrative arc are all important elements of the story. In history, the facts about dates, places, clothing and customs have to be accurate. To create a successful historical narrative, the writer needs both.
Joseph Naper was the organizing force behind Naperville, bringing several families with him from New York and Ohio. One of those families was that of his sister Amy and her husband John. Ruth by Lake and Prairie is the journey as seen through the eyes of their daughter Ruth.
Trying to discover the personalities of Ruth, Amy and John was difficult. No photographs or paintings have been identified of them, nor did they leave any diaries. John, however, was one of the first settlers of Ashtabula, Ohio and so he is mentioned in the earliest histories of the area.
The 1878 History of Ashtabula, Ohio said said he was a "school teacher and hired man." In the Portrait and Biographical Record of Cook and DuPage Counties, the entry on Robert Nelson Murray talks says his father was a "a talented man, and taught music, as well as school."
Kate started with these small details to put together a portrait of John Murray and his times. She researched what a school teacher in 1809 would teach and with what sort of materials, as well as what it meant to teach music at that time. While few of the actual facts wound up being relevant in the book, they did help form the description of John's character.
Particularly interesting to Kate was learning about Shape Note Singing, a practice that was extremely popular in the early 1800's and most likely the sort of music that John taught. Shape Note Singing was developed to simplify musical notations to make it easier to sight-read music, with the shape of the note indicating the pitch rather than it's location on a staff.
Entire congregations could then sing the hymns in four-part harmony rather than just listening to a trained choir. Singers sat in a hollow square formation, each side of the square being one of the voice parts, so they could hear each other harmonizing.
Shape Note Singing continues to this day. While it started in New England, Shape Note Singing lives on most strongly in the Appalachians where the English, Scottish and Irish settlers remained relatively isolated. You can go to several online locations to get an idea of how it may have sounded when John Murray was leading the song.

ENTERTAINMENT mogul Simon Cowell has confirmed the sex of his unborn baby.
The 54-year-old is expecting a baby boy with girlfriend Laura Silverman.
Cowell let slip the sex of the baby during a recent interview with US news show Access Hollywood.
Reporter Shaun Robinson asked the dad-to-be if he would be strapping a baby seat into his Bugati sports car ahead of his first child's arrival.
"Yes, of course he's got to learn how to drive very quickly," Cowell said.
Robinson then asked the The X Factor boss the follow-up question, "Have you found out the sex of the baby yet?"
Cowell responded, "I think I just gave it away, Shaun."
The interviewer replied, "You certainly did. Oh my gosh!"
Cowell then added, "Everybody knows anyway. It's a boy ... The first time I saw it (on an ultrasound) ... I called him Tad, because he looked like a tadpole. I still wanna call him Tad."
Silverman confirmed reports she's expecting a baby with Cowell earlier this year. The 36-year-old socialite is thought to be five months along.

York was Western Australia's first inland town, having been established in 1831. It is about 100km east of Perth. The town prospered during the WA (late 19th century) gold rushes and became a big service centre with grand buildings such as the town hall.

Hello Ian,
This surprised me as being in Australia, though it shouldn't, as it looks like so many grand buildings that we see here in England!
I like your viewpoint, giving a clear view of the façade, with its imposing columns and clock, and still allowing us to gain an impression of its overall size.
Excellent sharpness and colour saturation.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

People complain about the mail being slow, but this is ridulous.
High school student Lauren Seely found a strange-looking envelope in her family's mailbox -- strange-looking because, according to its postmark, it was sent off in 1956.
In case you're wondering, that's 10 years before her parents were born.
"I am not certain why it showed up yesterday or where it has been since 1956, but it was pretty cool," Seely said.
The envelope was addressed to Mr. Henry J. Leicnbach at the Seely family's Tilden Street NW address. It had a whopping five cents' worth of postage on it, one stamp worth three cents and another worth two. A standard stamp in 1956 cost three cents.
The family opened the envelope. Inside was a second-quarter bulletin of the National Railway Historical Association in Allentown, Penn.
We found nothing on Henry J. Leicnbach, but we did notice a 1975 book by a Henry J. Leinbach titled "El Paso Electric Company, Transportation Division: A Tentative History" and published by the Electric Railroaders' Association.
We couldn't find one of those, but we did locate the website for the National Railway Historical Society, which was founded in 1935. It now has a Philadelpia address.
Was Leicnbach... or Leinbach... a previous resident of the Seelys' home? It's unclear -- property records for the address are only showing the Seely family.
"The envelope wasn't even messed up," Kelli Seely, Lauren's mom, told us. "It's amazing -- so weird."

LONDON Siemens has sold its remaining 18 percent stake in Infineon Technologies for Euros 1.2 billion ($1.4 billion) in a placement managed by Goldman Sachs.
The German conglomerate has been gradually reducing its shareholding in Infineon since spinning off the chipmaker in an initial public offering in 2000, at the height of the technology bubble.
It sold a majority stake in Infineon in late 2001 and divested another big stake in January 2004.
Goldman Sachs placed the shares after Infineon stock rose above 9 euros to levels last seen in November 2004.
The chip maker's stock price doubled on its first day of trading to 70 euros but since then it has steadily fallen after the sector hit a downturn from which it has never really recovered.
Infineon said last November it plans to separate its memory business from its logic business and then float the memory business off by way of an offering of shares. It would then focus on its logic division, continuing to target the automotive, industrial electronics and communications sectors.
Siemens' last remaining major involvement in electronic components is a 12.5 percent stake in electronic components group Epcos which emerged from a Siemens joint venture it founded with Japan's Matsushita.

A developer has discovered that Apple tested additional folder enhancements and gestures in iOS 7, though all of those improvements have not been readily made available in iOS 7 beta 1. The first beta of iOS 7 was seeded to developers immediately after WWDC 2013, these hidden settings have been discovered after performing a number of unspecified tweaks.
These iOS 7 hidden settings reveal that Apple tested edge-swipe and corner-swipe gestures system wide, these gestures can presumably be used to making switching apps faster across iOS. Apple has already introduced new edge-swipe gestures in a number of native apps such as mobile Safari and Messages.
These settings also show that Apple tested a feature that would allow users to hide pre-installed apps as well as create new folders inside of a folder. iOS 7 already brings the functionality of having multiple app pages inside a folder, but this purported feature will greatly enhance ease of use. Ability to close a folder by pinching has also apparently been tested.
Apple has hidden these settings in the first beta of iOS 7. It is too soon to say whether these features will be part of the public release, but we'll know for sure if they surface again in future betas.

Dannii Minogue [2] is looking forward to spending time with her older sister Kylie at this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. [3]
"It's such great timing," said Minogue ahead of the race on Sunday. Based in Australia, the 41-year-old said it can be tough to see her famous sibling depending on their both of the busy schedules.
Kylie performs for the first night of the Yasalam after-race [4] concerts on Friday night and Dannii [5]said she'll be watching the show from the comfort of "stage left".
"I'll be there while she does her thing. She is just a little sparkle and I cannot wait," she said in an interview with tabloid!
Describing herself as a "full on 'rev head'" the mother-of-one is in town for the official launch of her fashion line, Project D which has been well received in the UAE [6]since it went on sale in October.
"I am such a fan of the F1," she said. "I have been to Abu Dhabi, Melbourne and Monaco and it is always so exciting. I support the Aussie boys and follow the season. The Abu Dhabi [7] race is fantastic. The facilities are new and unmatched and I can't wait for Sunday. I'd like to fit in a trip to Ferrari World."
The singer, songwriter, talent show judge, actress, television and radio personality and fashion designer is currently enjoying the UAE sunshine at Atlantis, The Palm, in Dubai.
*Dannii Minogue and her Project D partner Tabitha Somerset-Webb will be at the Boutique 1 store at Mall of the Emirates for the launch of the label tomorrow at 7pm.

wikiHow to Learn Lifesaving Techniques
Three Methods:Take a CourseSet Up Emergency Information ResourcesGo OnlineCommunity Q&A
Do you know what to do if you see someone suffering a heart attack? If you see someone drowning? If you see someone bleeding heavily? People can get injured or be in peril at home, in school, on the road, at work or while on vacation. The steps below tell you where you can learn basic lifesaving techniques. Having the confidence and training in emergency situations can mean the difference between life and death.
Take a Course
1Contact the American Red Cross. This venerable organization offers courses in lifesaving techniques; both for individuals and organizations.[1]The Red Cross also offers certification for emergency care, including the following:
- Standard and Emergency First Aid and CPR
- AED certification
- Blood borne Pathogens training
- Emergency medical response
- Sports safety
- Water safety
2Get lifeguard certification. The comprehensive course offered by the American Lifeguard Association (ALA)[2] is beneficial to everyone, not just professional lifeguards. Getting certified training in water lifesaving skills is a good idea, especially if you own a pool or a water spa; people, particularly infants and toddlers, can drown in a very small amount of water, even in a bathtub.
3Visit your local YMCA. There are YMCA's (Young Men's Christian Association) all over the world and many of them offer basic lifesaving courses. Visit their website to find a YMCA near you. [3]
4Talk to your local librarian. Many libraries offer free safety courses, and if they don't, they can direct you to local organizations that provide certified lifesaving instruction.
5Contact your local university. Universities and community colleges with swimming pools often offer Red Cross lifeguard training, and your local institute of higher learning may offer additional courses or seminars in lifesaving techniques. Find a university near you.[4]
Set Up Emergency Information Resources
1Program the emergency poison control number into your phone. The national hotline number is 1-800-222-1222 and can be called from anywhere in the United States. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, and someone will answer your questions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.[5]
Go Online
1Browse the Internet for videos about lifesaving techniques. This is a good alternative If you don't have the time, (or in some cases, the money) to take a full lifesaving course. At the very least, you will gain some familiarity and knowledge about how to deal with common emergency situations. Check out the following links for some of the most critical emergency and medical lifesaving measures:

- Learn safety prevention. Many injuries are caused by poor safety practices. Visit the homepage of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)[11]to get information about product safety and accident prevention.
- Research any safety or lifesaving course you plan on taking—make sure the course is taught by certified professionals.

it is taken for granted by the scientific and lay communities alike that sleep is a profoundly important physiological process. Yet, because sleep encompasses a constellation of physiological and biochemical changes, ascertaining the function(s) of sleep is a challenge that has vexed inquiring minds for ages. In the past couple of decades, the emergence of large-scale screening techniques for detecting molecular consequences of sleep and sleep loss has helped to define our thinking. There is now a strong and reliable link between sleep and changes in the expression of molecular markers for synaptic plasticity (2). Vecsey and colleagues (9), in the laboratory of Ted Abel, report that sleep deprivation suppresses a subset of insulin receptor-responsive pathways in the cell, including the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a translational regulatory protein. Collectively, with recent observations by Seibt and colleagues (7) in the laboratory of Marcos Frank, these observations help to identify a molecular switch linking sleep loss to both synaptic plasticity and cerebral metabolism in one fell swoop. In both the cerebral cortex (7) and the hippocampus (9), the translational regulatory pathway centered on mTOR is modulated as a function of sleep and sleep loss.
The Vecsey et al. (9) study began with a microarray analysis of gene expression in the hippocampi of sleep-deprived and spontaneously sleeping control mice. Of 22,689 probe sets measured by microarray, 2.7%, corresponding to a total of 533 genes, were differentially expressed in the hippocampi of sleep-deprived vs. control mice. A subset of these changes was verified by real-time PCR, with 18 of 19 real-time experiments confirming the microarray results (and the 19th trending in the same direction as the microarray data but not reaching statistical significance). The Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) was then used to identify, in the microarray data, clusters of functionally related genes that were up- or downregulated in concert. One theme that was common among downregulated transcripts was molecular biosynthesis: transcripts that function in the processing of RNAs and proteins (including their intersection, translation) were common among those downregulated. This observation, coupled with the observed upregulation of the translation inhibiting unfolded protein response, led the authors to hypothesize that sleep loss leads to suppression of protein synthesis. Among the protein synthesis-supporting mechanisms downregulated in response to sleep loss, according to their analysis, was the insulin-responsive mTOR signaling pathway. This contention was supported by Western blots, which showed reductions in both total mTOR protein and phosphorylated mTOR protein in the hippocampus, as a consequence of sleep loss.
So what does downregulation of mTOR due to sleep loss tell us about the function(s) of sleep? Protein synthesis is a metabolic burden on the cell. There are mechanisms in place to assure that protein synthesis occurs only when the cell has sufficient energetic resources to support the process, and mTOR is central to this regulatory regime (4). mTOR promotes translation as a function of cellular energetic status. Insulin signaling, which is indicative of a glucose-rich (i.e., energetically endowed) environment activates mTOR. Conversely, adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity inhibits mTOR in response to depletion of the cellular energetic currency, ATP. This arrangement allows for activation of protein synthesis when energy is plentiful and suppression of protein synthesis when energy is scarce (3). So the data from Vecsey and colleagues provide, in the form of downregulation of mTOR during sleep deprivation, an indication that sleep loss represents a cellular energetic challenge. The energetic burden associated with sustained wakefulness obligates the suppression of mTOR-dependent translation. Sleep presumably reverses the energetic burden associated with neuronal activity during wake, allowing for diversion of resources into mTOR-dependent protein synthesis.
This report is not the first indication that sleep loss poses an energetic challenge to the brain. AMPK becomes phosphorylated and increases its kinase activity in response to cellular energetic challenge. Phopsho-AMPK is elevated in the basal forebrain of sleep-deprived animals relative to spontaneously sleeping animals, and a similar trend exists in the frontal cortex (1). This observation, in addition to yielding biochemical validation that sleep loss represents a cellular energetic challenge, provides a transcription-independent mechanism by which mTOR activity, and with it protein synthesis, may be downregulated under conditions of sleep deprivation. The suppression of mTOR activity by AMPK during sustained wake may complement the suppression of gene expression in translation-promoting pathways. A follow-up study might measure phospho-AMPK and use pharmacological manipulations of AMPK activity in the hippocampi of sleep-deprived and control rats to address this hypothesis. Additionally, measurements of mTOR activity in the basal forebrain of sleep-deprived and control animals, where AMPK phosphorylation in response to sleep loss is particularly robust (1), would help to test this line of reasoning.
One could also augment the observations of Vecsey and colleagues (9) with pharmacological experiments to further hammer out the consequences of mTOR modulation by sleep. Pharmacological tools that modulate mTOR activity, including the very namesake of mTOR, rapamycin, might be administered to the hippocampi of sleep-deprived and spontaneously sleeping animals. If mTOR is in fact a key regulator of sleep loss and sleep homeostasis, then manipulating this regulatory pathway should have a profound impact on sleep-related plasticity in the hippocampus. This is already known to be the case in the cerebral cortex, where [as mentioned in the discussion by Vecsey and colleagues (9)] mTOR signaling is essential for sleep-dependent synaptic plasticity. This fact is demonstrated by the work of Seibt and colleagues (7). Six hours of monocular deprivation during wake results in ocular dominance plasticity (ODP), in which neurons formerly responsive to optical stimulation of the deprived eye become more responsive to the nondeprived eye. ODP can be detected at the end of a 6-h spontaneous sleep phase immediately after the 6-h waking monocular deprivation phase; but if sleep is prevented during this 6-h consolidation period, ODP fails to consolidate and is abolished. Knowing that sleep facilitates protein synthesis (6), Seibt and colleagues (7) sought to determine whether mTOR-dependent protein synthesis mediates sleep-dependent consolidation of ODP. They used intracortical infusion of rapamycin to inhibit mTOR-dependent translation. When infusion was done during 6 h of wake with monocular deprivation, expression of ocular dominance plasticity at the end of that 6-h interval was unaffected by rapamycin. However, when the intracortical infusion of rapamycin was done during 6 h of spontaneous sleep after 6 h of wake with monocular deprivation, expression of ODP at the end of that 6-h spontaneous sleep interval was blocked. Seibt and colleagues (7) concluded that sleep-dependent, mTOR-driven protein synthesis underlies the consolidation of ODP. Given this observation and the well-documented dependence of neural plasticity on mTOR (5), a powerful case can be made that mTOR is a key mediator of sleep-dependent plasticity.
These two reports suggest collectively that facilitation of mTOR-dependent protein synthesis by sleep may be a general property of laminar forebrain structures. But to what extent are changes in insulin-responsive and translation-related gene expression as a consequence of sleep deprivation reliable in the hippocampus and generalizable to other brain regions? A wealth of data on the macromolecular response to sleep deprivation is publically available. Informatic approaches will have to be applied to these databases to address the question.
Finally, the paper by Vecsey and colleagues (9) also provides fodder for another theme in sleep research, the link between sleep and cerebral energetics. While mTOR functions in plasticity, in fact, this molecule was originally characterized in the context of cellular metabolism, where it serves as a regulator of glucose utilization via glycolysis (8). This role for mTOR is not incompatible with its role in synaptic homeostasis. Indeed, mTOR may serve as a nexus for the integration of cellular glucose demand and synaptic activity, with changes in excitability and/or synaptic strength obligating shifts in the neuron's processing of glucose and protein synthesis. It is posited that plastic events during sleep serve to reduce the overall excitability, and with it the metabolic demand, of the brain (2). mTOR may provide a molecular mechanism for this process. These are intriguing possibilities, and we have the work of Vecsey and colleagues (9) and the complementary work of Seibt and colleagues (7) to call them to our attention.

I had two terrible experiences with this company. First, we booked a hotel stay in Florida through them in March 2003 that promised a $75 hotel credit upon check-out. However, the hotel refused to honor the credit because theyindicated that CheapTickets failed to enter it into the reservation system. After multiple calls to the CheapTickets "Customer Service," follow-up e-mails provideding various documentation (which they already had in their system), etc., they eventually agreed to issue a $100 voucher good off of a future CheapTickets.com booking.
Unfortunately, they don't deduct the voucher amount from the price at time of booking, as most reputable companies too. Rather, they require you to book it through them, pay in full via credit card, and then send in ANOTHER request for a refund of the voucher amount. Despite this RIDICULOUS process, I complied with these directions in booking a subsequent hotel stay in Massachusetts earlier this month. I sent in all of the documentation requested to claim my refund (again, even though thye had it all in their system). Incredulously, they refused to honor the voucher and provide the refund, stating that I had to book ANOTHER trip through them to be eligible for the refund. They simply ignored my follow-up e-mail providing all of the relevant documentation from both trips.
Terrible customer service and inept (at best) business practices. Buyer Beware!

Women break the kashrut barrier
Evelyn Prizont, an Orthodox woman in Washington State, spends her days poking through pantries, vetting vegetables and sniffing spices, all part of her job as a kosher supervisor for the Rabbinical council of Greater Seattle.
"I do it for the glamour," she notes sarcastically, "and the respect".
Mrs Prizont is in the minority. There are thousands of shomrim, or kosher supervisors, working in North America, but very few are women.
But as the kosher food industry continues to swell, so does the need for more supervisors. Women are increasingly filling that need, and for the first time, are receiving professional recognition.
In August, the Orthodox Union, the world's largest kosher certification agency, ran a five-day advanced kashrut course in New York for 25 women. The class visited industrial kitchens and received classroom instruction in practical kashrut.
In November, the Star-K kosher certification will hold a similar two-day course for up to 20 women at its headquarters in Baltimore, Md.
There is no prohibition against women kashrut supervisors in Jewish law, as an observant woman has the authority to supervise kosher standards in a kitchen. Still, the announcement of these courses stirred up some opposition in religious circles.
In response, the organisers insist they are not seeking to train new shomrot, but to enhance the skills and knowledge of women already working in the field.
Participants will not visit slaughterhouses or food manufacturing plants, as their male counterparts do in the agencies' more in-depth courses for shomrim.
Yael Kaner, chief kosher supervisor at the Pearlstone Retreat Centre in Reiserstown, Md., says it is about time women received advanced training.
"I've been jealous of the guys for years," she says, noting that as a Lubavitcher, she would not have been comfortable attending one of the training courses for men.
When Mrs Kaner started working three decades ago, she was paid considerably less than her male colleagues. In some cities, she was told not to bother applying for jobs, as only men were hired.
Today at Pearlstone she receives a good salary, with full benefits and a pension plan.
Most female supervisors work in the food service industry, and are more often found outside cities like New York and Los Angeles, where plenty of Orthodox men are available to fill the jobs.
Most female supervisors prefer part-time work, as they have children at home. Mrs Prizont is one of the few women she knows with a full-time position. She oversees a retirement home, some restaurants and the Hillel kitchen at the University of Washington.
Rather than seeing her gender as a drawback, she says it helps her ferret out wrongdoing.
"Never underestimate the power of lipstick," she says. "I have to rely on personal relationships, getting people to speak to me openly and honestly."
When chefs see her approaching, they start to sweat, she says.
"I wield power, and they know it."
Rabbi Mayer Kurcfeld, who is organising the Star-K course, says 20 per cent of the agency's local kosher supervisors in hospitals and restaurants are women.
"They're very meticulous," he says. "They don't deviate — either a thing is right, or it's not. And they're tough. They stand their ground and are not intimidated."

Witness recalls victim in 1996 killing
One of the last people to see a Riverhead High School homecoming queen alive 16 years ago testified Thursday about seeing her in an "animated discussion" with a shorter girl before turning and walking away toward where her body was later found, as the shorter girl trailed close behind.
Judy Karp, now of Manhattan, was able to identify the taller girl as Curtisha Morning, who was found weeks later hacked to death a few dozen yards from where Karp saw them. Although Karp could not identify the other girl, the description she gave matched that of Kalila Taylor, now 35, on trial now for Morning's murder before state Supreme Court Justice William Condon for the second time, after her earlier conviction was reversed by an appellate court in 2004.
Karp said that on Feb. 29, 1996, she was in her car waiting for her boyfriend, a teacher's aide, to come out of the Eastern Suffolk BOCES building in Riverhead when the discussion between Morning and the other girl caught her attention.
Earlier Thursday, this trial survived its own trouble after Condon heard that its first witness, Det. William Rathjen, chatted with a juror and an alternate juror after he finished testifying Wednesday. Condon dismissed them both and reminded the remaining jurors to avoid contact with anyone connected with the case.
Later, Stephanie Trent -- Taylor's cousin and a friend of Morning's -- testified that Taylor was "a little hurt" that the father of her child, Carl Brown Jr., had recently begun dating Morning.
"Her and Curtisha were friendly," Trent said during questioning by Assistant District Attorney Janet Albertson. Morning had done Taylor's hair for her senior prom the year before, Trent said. "She felt she [Morning] should have made her aware."
But when defense attorney John LoTurco asked if Taylor was angry about Morning dating Brown, Trent replied, "Not at all."
"Did Kalila make any threats concerning Curtisha?" LoTurco asked.
"Not at all," she replied.
Taylor had several boyfriends besides Brown, Trent said. And in the days after Morning disappeared, Trent said she noticed no cuts on Taylor's hands.
Albertson had told jurors in her opening statement that Taylor likely cut her hand while stabbing Morning more than 90 times in a jealous frenzy. Taylor's DNA was recovered from bloodstains on Morning's pants and boots, Albertson said.

Crunch time for Moore's boys
Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore reckons his side need to win their last three games to have any hope at all of making the play-offs.
Last Updated: 06/04/13 7:44pm
Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore reckons his side need to win their last three games to have any hope at all of making the play-offs.
Tranmere slipped out of the top six over Easter and were dealt another blow as Championship-bound Doncaster completed a double over them.
There was little goalmouth action at either end before Doncaster skipper Rob Jones grabbed the all-important goal in the 63rd minute when he fired home after centre-back partner Jamie McCombe had headed down a free-kick from David Cotterill.
Moore said: "It's disappointing because it looks like a goalless draw all the game.
"I just couldn't see anybody scoring unless it was a 35-yarder or a piece of magic.
"But they got a free-kick and one centre-half heads it down to the other and bang - it's in the back of the net.
"They are a big, strong side and we had talked before the game about cutting down the corners and free-kicks we allowed them.
"It was the second ball that did us. When the ball was headed down our reaction was poor and that's been the case too often.
"It was a tight game and I can't fault our commitment, effort and desire, but one mistake by a defender has cost everybody."
Moore added: "I think we did well up to the final third, but we need to win our last three games now and to do that we need to start scoring goals."

Back in April of 2010, we questioned what happened to Unreal Tournament. Epic Games has not said anything about that franchise in a long time. The last Unreal game, entitled Unreal Tournament 3 debuted in 2007. Epic has been focusing its attention on the Gears of War series and other titles, but it may soon return to the fast-paced multiplayer shooter that was adored by many.
Speaking to IndustryGamers, Epic Games president Mike Capps admitted that Epic hasn't been showing the Unreal franchise much love lately.
"We haven't been giving it [Unreal] the attention it deserves because we've been focusing on Gears of War and we're still a relatively small company," Capps said.
Capps also mentioned how new IPs such as Bulletstorm, Shadow Complex and Infinity Blade have taken focus away from long-standing IPs. Capps said from a business perspective, Epic "should be spending some more time" with those properties.
The mystery that remains is whether Unreal can still bring in fans like it used to.

Wright Words: 42 things I love about my wife — plus an invitation
suzyk#1 Mount Pleasant, UTApril 24, 2013 8:45 a.m.
Oh, I liked this article..made me think where I could do better and what a wonderful idea for your spouse. She is very fortunate to be married to a man that has that high of regard for her as a person, wife and woman. My hats off to him.
fourfunsons Calgary, 00April 23, 2013 2:22 p.m.
I did this once for a friend who was turning 41. She wasn't a mushy type and it caught her off-guard. She read my 41 compliments about her, in her car before going into her house, and she cried. Her heart was touched and I loved that.
Jillian West Jordan, UTApril 23, 2013 11:01 a.m.
Sometimes I forget my own potential - this was a wonderful reminder of how wonderful we can all chose to be! I will be writing my husband a similar birthday letter. He's all that - and more (61). What a positive use of the media today! Thank you!
RationalPlease Spanish Fork, UTApril 23, 2013 7:50 a.m.
You go guy. Thanks for pointing out the good you see in the world--there is much more good than bad, but you would never know that from the media. You make me want to be a better person; abd I'll take your challenge, so you will inadvertently touch my wife also (she doesn't read the paper). Almost every time I read one of your columns I think it is your best work ever. May it ever be so. Thanks much.
george of the jungle goshen, UTApril 23, 2013 6:34 a.m.
Nice to read about the kind of pride that comes from the heart. From you and who she is.
