The mages and familiars of Halkeginia were chosen to save the world of Lagendia.If you think about it, these ZnT characters have similarities with these DN characters:
- Saito - Sword Master
- Louise - Chaos Mage / Majesty
- Tiffania - Archer (YMMV on this, but Our Elves Are Different in Lagendia...)
- Julio - The Cleric Class -> Priest Class (The outfit matches!)
- Kirche - Pyromancer / Saleana
- Tabitha - Ice Witch / Elestra
The tink's familyCrazy theory: In the future, Argenta & Velskud settle their differences and end up married, and the tinkerer/academic is their adopted daughter.
- So far... jossed, but it could still happen if she finds a way to give herself a normal human lifespan.
The Black Knight is eventually going to be a boss.Considering the player character keeps getting stronger, it's only a matter of time. And when you defeat him the first time he'll transform into his dragon form and fight you a second time.

Gervais brings sharp tongue as host of Globes
Published: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 10:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 10:33 a.m.
NEW YORK — Were they watering down the drinks at the Golden Globes awardscast?
The stellar party that is supposed to be the Globes turned out to be something of a dud. Instead, it was much like any tightly choreographed, well-behaved awards show. There were glamorous presenters, winners announced, awards received graciously, and then on to the next category.
Husband-and-wife presenters Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy sang a comic little ditty before announcing their winner. It was a startling departure from the pro forma style that governed the evening.
Maybe the night's highlight: Best dramatic actress winner Meryl Streep ( "The Iron Lady" ) erupted with a bleeped s-word as she realized she had left her glasses at her table and would have to rely on memory to make her acceptance remarks, which she struggled awkwardly to get through.
Mostly, the show was on automatic pilot. It was a crushing disappointment for anyone eagerly awaiting what naughtiness Ricky Gervais would have up his sleeve on this, his third consecutive year hosting the show.
"The Golden Globes are to the Oscars," he had cracked in his monologue, "what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton — a bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker. ..."
But Sunday's Globescast, aired on NBC, wasn't trashy or drunken, even if Gervais always had what appeared to be a glass of beer within reach. It was three hours of sleek monotony.
His monologue had its share of barbs, but it fell short of the standard for which Gervais is known, and came nowhere close to last year's acerbic tone that had everyone debating his performance afterward: Had he crossed the line or just broken new ground?
This year, he played it safe.
"Nervous? Don't be," he grinned at the room-full of glitterati at the top of the show. "Tonight you get Britain's biggest comedian, hosting the world's second-biggest awards show, on America's third-biggest network." He corrected himself: "Its fourth."
After last year's shindig, when Gervais insulted nearly everyone in sight, including the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association ( "I just had to help him off the toilet and pop his teeth in," cracked Gervais), an invitation back for the British wag seemed doubtful.
But the Globes loves to court outrageous behavior. That meant another turn for Gervais as host. In fact, as he explained in his monologue, he had been warned by the HFPA that were he to insult anyone on hand, or "offend any viewers, or cause any controversy whatsoever — they'll definitely invite me back next year, as well."
Then Gervais went on to praise a nominated HBO series, "Boardwalk Empire."
"I love that show," he said. "It's about a load of immigrants who came to America about a hundred years ago, and they got involved in bribery and corruption and worked their way up into high society. But enough about the Hollywood Foreign Press."
And he didn't pass up the chance to make gratuitous fun of the title of Jodie Foster's 2011 film, "The Beaver." In the audience, Foster seemed amused.
Unlike last year, few rose to his bait and challenged his mouthiness.
An exception was Madonna, whom Gervais brought on as a presenter. He introduced her as "just like a virgin," then erupted with a theatrical cough.
Madonna fired back: "If I'm still just like a virgin, Ricky, then why don't you come over here and do something about it?" She paused. "I haven't kissed a girl in a few years. ..."
A camera caught Gervais comedically dashing off stage.
When Gervais dropped an f-bomb, the censors were ready and the moment came and went.
"They're ridiculously gorgeous specimens, they're extremely talented, and probably very interesting," Gervais had declared as he introduced presenters Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek late in the show. "I'm not sure," he went on, as censors instantly zapped the rest of his quip that went something like, "I couldn't understand a (expletive) word they said."
A few minutes later, Gervais boasted, "It's so good having a job where you can get drunk and say what you want, and they still pay you."
But maybe he wasn't drunk enough, or on the air enough, to keep the Globes lively. He seemed to be mostly drinking alone.

sunday- joined 10+ early birds at dawn for 3 hours.solid head high sets with bigger ones coming thru' once in a while. Got a few before it got way too crowded-3 guys to a wave and so on.....ended up going two piers south defitinely less crowded and more spread out. finally saw some rights coming in and got a bomb that changed my perspective on my own surfing-turns out i can do it!! it felt so good to stomp my feet at the bottom turn and pump(for my life) came out the back laughing at everything soooo high. At hour 5 my shoulders locked up so i headed in on a nice left that decided to close out on me when i wasnt looking but thats ok, i was still laughing.
Monday- woke up at 8 with a headache from the beer drinking, checked it down the street,and went out to chest to head high waves which quickly got rid of my headache. or maybe it was the sun, or the beautiful weather, or the fact i was solo choosing waves. ate an awesome breakfast thinking about taking the longboard out for the afternoon.
I hope everyone had so much fun this weekend of grand waves. stay positive and healthy for wind,tides,and swells will come together again soon for us to enjoy.
PS-post pics if you got em'!

I've been down in FL riding the Ida swell everyday since last Thu afternoon. Had to wear a spring suit the first two days but was trunking it by Saturday as the air temps finally rose above the mid-60s. A friend who used to live in Annapolis/OCMd broke his board on the paddle-out on Saturday - that should give you an idea how the waves were that day. Had some great fun this morning, too, but was back in the spring suit again during the early hours.

Went out I picked out my wife from the hospital and had someone at home to watch her for a bit.
Loaded of my landrover and headed to cape may . I checked it at a few spots but Head Quarters looked the best. Suited up around 2pm into some waist to chest clean surf . Its was closing out by the rocks but is you sat about 2 yards away they were pealing a nice long line. As the day went on it got a bit bigger about head high as the tide came in.
I got off so nice noserides and got covered up on a nice head high wave . I was scrunched down a bit but I popped out the other side .
There wasnt alot of people out either for the most part . Just 4 of us then towards the evening like 15 people just came out of no where.
I got a nice over head wave towards the end of the even . It came out of no where and just jacked up as the wind picked up. I droped in did and bottome turn and headed the lip of the wave and I walked to the nose . Man that wave was my best one of the day . It maintained speed and peal real long and clean . It felt like I rode it for a the length of 2 football feild the paddle back was so long
The veiw of the beach was nice too. a bunch of chics were chilling at the beging of the rocks and 2 of them venture out by them selves sitting on the rock and started making out and grabing each other asses
definatly a awsome end to a crazy weekend

5th st had this gnarly rip that looked like a mini version of one of those Oz mysto waves that sucks up and folds over on itself and doesn't peel or break cleanly just dumps hard into 3 ft of water. Only a few heads bobbing in the lower streets in OC. Rode for an hour then had to work!

I passed. Checked in town in the morning looked ok, nothing great. Figured I would check AI later in the day. Got there and it was PACKED!! Wind was west just as I got there and turned onshore light pretty quickly. Still some decent looking waves coming in but the crowd was crazy. Saw this fat guy carrying a tiny fish back to his car, a guy about 6'6" carrying a shortboard meant for a 120lb teenager. Bunch of guys on old yellowed boards that haven't seen the light of day in years. Kayakers dropping in on some big waves and some retarded surfer drop ins on poor guys up and ridding, racing the lip, and down comes someone as if they weren't even there, eats it and drags the poor soul he just dogged down with him. Didn't see one wave riden in over an hour that looked worth the effort. Conditions went down hill pretty quickly once the wind turned. Glad you guys got some and had fun, something about today just didn't look right, weird outside sandbar, crowds, and of course the change in the wind. As I walked away a friend who was about to paddle out asked what I was gonna do and I said go home and weed the garden, he gave me the funniest look ever, I looked at him and said I know I'm gonna regret it.

Something hard in the water gouged a chunk out of my board when I ate it which i did more than once, cut my finger deep and tweaked my trick knee, then tore a seam in my suit at the truck. Hard paddle out for mostly closeouts and got caught inside for what seemed like forever. As a guy I respect said "Whats the alternative, not surf? I'm not down with that." Better than mowin the lawn or rakin leaves.

stayed patient and waited for the afternoon incoming tide. Perfect barrels for 2-3 hours. No complaints.

I had the greatest time ever yesterday. 48th was firing all day practically, there was a West OZ looking sandbar that had some crazy barrels which led into an easier barreling left. Vince was killing it, making air drops left and right. Needless to say it was one of the best solid swells weve had in a while.
My epoxy santa cruz was dinged too! Theres a big gash in the bottom. I think it hit some dune fence or maybe it was from my knee after getting maytaged a few times.
but who cares it was so much fun!

Rhode island point breaks, coves, and rock bottom beach breaks. It was so much fun despite the disturbing number of kayakers at one western spot. Will post pictures later.

When someone who is very close to you, or occupied an important place at some time in your life, passes away, do you somehow remember the person just before the tragic news reaches you?
It happened to me this afternoon. On a cold but sunny day in Delhi, I was sitting with a senior journalist and discussing, among other things, Dr B. R. Ambedkar's strongly critical views on Islamist fanaticism and separatism. I said, "One of my most satisfying works in journalism was a series of six articles on Dr Ambedkar's harsh critique of Pakistan, which I wrote for Blitz." As I said it, I remembered Russy Karanjia, the legendary editor of Blitz, where I worked as his deputy, and a profound feeling of gratitude crossed my mind. "What a wonderful editor he was," I exclaimed to myself, "and how much freedom he gave me to express my views."
Within a few minutes, I received an SMS from a good friend and former colleague: "Mr Karanjia has passed away."
The news made me numb.
Karanjia. One of the greatest names in Indian journalism. Owner-editor of what was once the most popular weekly in India. A tabloid that did what its name suggested a journalistic blitzkrieg, week after week, with its sensational news reports. Free, Frank and Fearless. That's how Blitz described itself, and lived up to its self-description.
Neither Karanjia nor Blitz are names that ring a bell among readers belonging to the younger generation, because the weekly folded up in the mid-1990s and Karanjia, who always liked to be in the limelight, disappeared from public view nearly a decade ago, confined to his ocean-front apartment on Marine Drive in Bombay. But there was a time and it stretched for nearly four decades beginning with the 1940s when young and old alike, even in the remotest parts of India, used to queue up before newspaper stalls to buy their copy of Blitz.

Research Institution:
AbstractThe aims and opportunities of our Automated Control Enhancement(ACE) modules are enabling of automated training of complex tasks in animals; innovative new remote tele-presence/robot/canine operational teams; and, ultimately, entirely new classes and types of augmented-reality enhanced canines. Initial canine screening, selection, and early-skill acquisition are most efficiently performed within ACE add-on modules fitted to existing portable containers where the target scent detection and other complex tasks are performed within our tightly controlled environment, with tactile, audio, and video cues in addition to conventional obstacles and realistic search conditions. Automated, repetitive, consistent leading and reinforcement of complex tasks along with automated performance measures drastically reduce the human experts' participation in hours and costs. ACE add-on modules can also be used in field training and, ultimately, operational scenarios. Existing canine realistic training methods can be augmented with ACE modules, enabling seamless progression to operational scenarios. Specifically envisioned are tele-presence and automated control progressions from within portable containers, to in-the-field conditions, to remote control operational scenarios with robots, and, ultimately, animal-wearable ACE-modules. Beyond our initial focus on canine complex tasks and operational enhancements, we envision reuse of our successful innovations for other species of animals, again progressing from portable structure training, tele-presence remote symbiotic partner(s), and, eventually, animal-wearable, augmented-reality symbiotic enhancements.

2016 Christmas Wonderland
Toowoomba's Christmas Wonderland began with the dream of creating an event that the whole community could come to and experience the joy and wonder of Christmas. This year marks the 14th year since its inception by the Burstow family.
In 2015 the Toowoomba Christmas Wonderland operated from 5-24 December with over 80,000 people enjoying the lights over 18 amazing nights with only one night washed out due to wet weather. The three major charities shared $75,000 with over $5,000 being donated to smaller support organisations.
We look forward to seeing thousands of people at this year's event in support of our three major beneficiaries Lifeline Darling Downs & South West Qld Ltd, Toowoomba Hospital Foundation and Toowoomba Hospice.
2016 Event details
Times: 7-10pm
Venue: Botanical Gardens, Queens Park. Entry via Lindsay and Campbell Sts.
Cost: Gold coin donation at entry. There are donation tins for other activities such as face painting, tea/coffee station, balloon animals.
Food: A BBQ will run each evening. Free icecreams are handed to children
Entertainment: stage with nightly entertainment plus roving entertainers and dance groups.
In the event of wet weather, information will be posted on the Toowoomba Christmas Wonderland's Facebook page.
We have many local entertainers who support our event by performing free of charge each evening. This includes dancing groups, roving entertainers, costumed mascots, bands, choirs and vocal soloists and groups.
Here is a list of this year's Entertainers - the daily program will be added here in late November. For a quick list of entertainers who are performing each evening, follow our Face book page.
It takes around 40 volunteers EACH NIGHT over 22 consecutive nights in order to ensure Toowoomba's Christmas Wonderland runs smoothly for the thousands of visitors that attend.
Why not consider getting a group of work colleagues or friends together to volunteer? You'll have a lot of fun and help support our local community.

HOUSTON (AP) - Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley has won the
Lombardi Award as the nation's top collegiate lineman.
Fairley led top-ranked Auburn's defense this season with a
school-record 21 tackles for losses and was second in the
Southeastern Conference with 10½ sacks. He has 55 tackles, two
fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and an interception entering
the BCS title game against No. 2 Oregon.
The 6-foot-5 298-pound junior was selected the defensive player
of the year on The Associated Press All-SEC team on Monday.

Okay so I've made a few alterations to the style. But more importantly I've streamlined the process. Now I have a "library" of pony body parts that I can piece together into the poses I need.
*Hours later*
Pinkie Pie: Hey Scootaloo What are you doing still up there?
Scootaloo: It's A Long.....Uh I was uhhh.... FLYING A KITE...Yea flying a kite and There was a strong wind and-
Pinkie Pie: I don't care anymore C:
Scootaloo: Can you atleast get me down?
Pinkie Pie: ...Oh I forgot, I have cupcakes in the oven Bye!!!
Scootaloo: NOOOOOO
Pinkie Pie: *Runs away*
*Days later*
Scootaloo: And she never came back .-.
RD: Scootaloo... What are you doing here... And what happen...
The moral of the story: Your story is always to long. Don't bother.
Hahahaha, very in character.
ha ha oh pinkie
very interesting style you got tier ^^
Okay but which one? And is it numeral or color coded? I'm guessing I might be Silver Tiered.
Pinkie Pie ladies and gentlemen! Thrower of parties, bender of reality, flaunter of physics, and the most perfect example of chaotic neutral ever.
Hehe, chaotic neutral. Yeah, makes sense actually.
It helps that her great grandmother on her fathers side was a displacer beast and her great grandfather on her mothers side was a blink dog. And I will give a lama to anyone who gets that reference and all its irony.
Man. They mustve HATED each other... im guessing Pinkie got her pink skin from her blink dog side?
Hehe, a pink Blink Dog, now /that/ I would like to see. I would think it comes from the pony part of the family if anything. Then again, you never know with magical creatures. And you sir get a lama!
That was great I could see that happening.
.... should have cald derpy<img height="62" width="63" />
picture didnt work dang
It's mild trolling. Unless something horrible comes along next.
Phew! I thought we were in trouble there! I don't usually trust magical purple unicorns, but you have a face you can trust, a face that says "I know what will happen to you next!"
Love the stick legs. Absolutely love them. Something's a bit off with the anatomy of the front leg. It's almost as if you're missing the "knee" joint. I'm not sure though, so be sure to check on that.
Umm, yeah I really love this. Very inspirational. It's definitely a style that I'd love to try out for myself .
Thanks. I tried to simplify the anatomy. Seeing as it's a comic. But I'll look in to that.
You should try it out. Your avatar character is cute and already has the skinny limbs down.
You should try it out. Your avatar character is cute and already has the skinny limbs down.
Hey scoots! What are ya doin?
"You know, just, hanging around"
"You know, just, hanging around"
Hanging around?
Hanging around.
Hang in there.
The spindly, sickly thin legs are a bit of a put-off for my tastes, but the expressions are pretty awesome.

Article: Iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation of quinolines and unsymmetrical 1,2-disubstituted benzenes: Insights into steric and electronic effects on selectivity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Borylation of quinolines provides an attractive method for the late-stage functionalization of this important heterocycle. The regiochemistry of this reaction is dominated by steric factors but, by undertaking reactions at room temperature, an underlying electronic selectivity becomes apparent, as exemplified by the comparative reactions of 7-halo-2-methylquinoline and 2,7-dimethylquinoline which afford variable amounts of the 5- and 4-borylated products. Similar electronic selectivities are observed for nonsymmetrical 1,2-disubstituted benzenes. The site of borylation can be simply estimated by analysis of the 1H NMR spectrum of the starting material with preferential borylation occurring at the site of the most deshielded sterically accessible hydrogen or carbon atom. Such effects can be linked with C–H acidity. Whilst DFT calculations of the pKa for the C–H bond show good correlation with the observed selectivity, small differences suggest that related alternative, but much more computationally demanding values, such as the M–C bond strength, may be better quantitative predictors of selectivity.
Article: Structural Versatility of Pyrene-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane) and Pyrene-2,7-bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Three polymorphs of pyrene-2,7-bis(Bpin)2 (1) and two of pyrene-2-(Bpin) (2), where Bpin = 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane, two different 1:1 co-crystals of 1 with toluene, and co-crystals of hexafluorobenzene (HFB) with 1 (of highly unusual 2:1 composition) and 2 (of usual 1:1 composition) were isolated, studied by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry, and described using Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. Centrosymmetric phases β- and γ-1 have densities respectively lower and higher than the chiral α-1; α- and β-2 have different packing modes, both with Z′ = 3. Compound 1 is prone to form channel host–guest structures, for example, α- and β-1·PhMe and 1·2HFB. The drastically different stabilities of α- and β-1·PhMe are discussed. The complex 2·HFB has a mixed-stack packing motif. The structural versatility of 1 and 2 is explained by synthon frustration between structurally incongruent pyrene and Bpin moieties.
Article: Synthesis of 2- and 2,7-Functionalized Pyrene Derivatives: An Application of Selective CH Borylation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: An efficient synthetic route to 2- and 2,7-substituted pyrenes is described. The regiospecific direct C-H borylation of pyrene with an iridium-based catalyst, prepared in situ by the reaction of [{Ir(μ-OMe)cod}(2)] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine, gives 2,7-bis(Bpin)pyrene (1) and 2-(Bpin)pyrene (2, pin = OCMe(2)CMe(2)O). From 1, by simple derivatization strategies, we synthesized 2,7-bis(R)-pyrenes with R = BF(3)K (3), Br (4), OH (5), B(OH)(2) (6), and OTf (7). Using these nominally nucleophilic and electrophilic derivatives as coupling partners in Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, and Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reactions, we obtained 2,7-bis(R)-pyrenes with R = (4-CO(2)C(8)H(17))C(6)H(4) (8), Ph (9), C≡CPh (10), C≡C[{4-B(Mes)(2)}C(6)H(4)] (11), C≡CTMS (12), C≡C[(4-NMe(2))C(6)H(4)] (14), C≡CH (15), N(Ph)[(4-OMe)C(6)H(4)] (16), and R = OTf, R' = C≡CTMS (13). Lithiation of 4, followed by reaction with CO(2), yielded pyrene-2,7-dicarboxylic acid (17), whilst borylation of 2-tBu-pyrene gave 2-tBu-7-Bpin-pyrene (18) selectively. By similar routes (including Negishi cross-coupling reactions), monosubstituted 2-R-pyrenes with R = BF(3)K (19), Br (20), OH (21), B(OH)(2) (22), [4-B(Mes)(2)]C(6)H(4) (23), B(Mes)(2) (24), OTf (25), C≡CPh (26), C≡CTMS (27), (4-CO(2)Me)C(6)H(4) (28), C≡CH (29), C(3)H(6)CO(2)Me (30), OC(3)H(6)CO(2)Me (31), C(3)H(6)CO(2)H (32), OC(3)H(6)CO(2)H (33), and O(CH(2))(12)Br (34) were obtained from 2. These derivatives are of synthetic and photophysical interest because they contain donor, acceptor, and conjugated substituents. The crystal structures of compounds 4, 5, 7, 12, 18, 19, 21, 23, 26, and 28-31 have also been obtained from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, revealing a diversity of packing modes, which are described in the Supporting Information. A detailed discussion of the structures of 1 and 2, their polymorphs, solvates, and co-crystals is reported separately.
Article: Areneperfluoroarene interactions in crystal engineering. Part 14. 1:1 Complexes of octafluoronaphthalene with fluorene and 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The 1:1 molecular complexes of octafluoronaphthalene (OFN) with fluorene (1) and with 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (2) were prepared by cocrystallization of the components and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 1 can be described as a mixed-stack or a laminar checkerboard motif of alternating OFN and fluorene molecules, whilst slanted mixed-stack, herringbone, and face-to-face heteromolecular dimer motifs can all be recognised in 2.Key words: single crystal, X-ray structure, π stacking, fluoroarene.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We present a sequential molecular dynamics/quantum mechanics (MD/QM) study and steady-state spectroscopy measurements of the nanostar dendrimer (a phenylene−ethynylene dendrimer attached to a ethynylperylene chromophore) to determine the temperature dependence of the electronic absorption process. We studied the nanostar as separate units and performed MD simulations for each chromophore at 10 and 300 K to study the effects of the temperature on the structures. The absorption spectrum of the nanostar, at 10 and 300 K, was computed using an ensemble of 8000 structures for each chromophore. Quantum mechanical (QM) ZINDO/S calculations were performed for each conformation in the ensemble, including 16 excited states for a total of 128 000 excitation energies, and the intensity was scaled linearly with the number of conjugated units. Our calculations and experimental spectra measured for the individual chromophores and the nanostar are in good agreement. We found that for each system, the spectral features are narrow at 10 K because the transitions are localized in wavelength and the absorption energy depends primarily on the length of the chromophore, while at 300 K, the spectra features are quite broad and blue-shifted due to conformational changes on the systems. We explain in detail the effects of temperature and their consequence for the absorption process.

Article: Syntheses, structures, two-photon absorption cross-sections and computed second hyperpolarisabilities of quadrupolar A-π-A systems containing E-dimesitylborylethenyl acceptors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A series of bis(E-dimesitylborylethenyl)-substituted arenes, namely arene = 1,4-benzene, 1,4-tetrafluorobenzene, 2,5-thiophene, 1,4-naphthalene, 9,10-anthracene, 4,4'-biphenyl, 2,7-fluorene, 4,4'-E-stilbene, 4,4'-tolan, 5,5'-(2,2'-bithiophene), 1,4-bis(4-phenylethynyl) benzene, 1,4-bis(4-phenylethynyl) tetrafluorobenzene and 5,5 `'-(2,2':5',2 `'-terthiophene), have been synthesised via hydroboration of the corresponding diethynylarenes with dimesitylborane. Their absorption and emission maxima, fluorescence lifetimes and quantum yields are reported along with the two-photon absorption (TPA) spectra and TPA cross-sections for the 5,5 `-bis(E-dimesitylborylethenyl)- 2,2'-bithiophene and 5,5'-bis(E-dimesitylborylethenyl)-2,2':5',2 `'-terthiophene derivatives. The TPA crosssection of the latter compound of ca. 1800 GM is the largest yet reported for a 3-coordinate boron compound and is in the range of the largest values measured for quadrupolar compounds with similar conjugation lengths. The X-ray crystal structures of 1,4-benzene, 2,5-thiophene, 4,4'-biphenyl and 5,500( 2,2':5',2 `'- terthiophene) derivatives indicate pi-conjugation along the BC=C-arene-C=CB chain. Theoretical studies show that the second molecular hyperpolarisabilities, gamma, in each series of compounds are generally related to the HOMO energy, which itself increases with increasing donor strength of the of the spacer. A strong enhancement of gamma is predicted as the number of thiophene rings in the spacer increases.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Retinoid signalling pathways are involved in numerous processes in cells, particularly those mediating differentiation and apoptosis. The endogenous ligands that bind to the retinoid receptors, namely all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and 9-cis-retinoic acid, are prone to double-bond isomerisation and to oxidation by metabolic enzymes, which can have significant and deleterious effects on their activities and selectivities. Many of these problems can be overcome through the use of synthetic retinoids, which are often much more stable, as well as being more active. Modification of their molecular structures can result in retinoids that act as antagonists, rather than agonists, or exhibit a large degree of selectivity for particular retinoid-receptor isotypes. Several such selective retinoids are likely to be of value as pharmaceutical agents with reduced toxicities, particularly in cancer therapy, as reagents for controlling cell differentiation, and as tools for elucidating the precise roles that specific retinoid signalling pathways play within cells.
Article: Proteomic profiling of the stem cell response to retinoic acid and synthetic retinoid analogues: Identification of major retinoid-inducible proteins[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The natural retinoid, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), is widely used to direct the in vitro differentiation of stem cells. However, substantial degradation and isomerisation of ATRA in response to UV-vis light has serious implications with regard to experimental reproducibility and standardisation. We present the novel application of proteomic biomarker profiling technology to stem cell lysates to rapidly compare the differentiation effects of ATRA with those of two stable synthetic retinoid analogues, EC19 and EC23, which have both been shown to induce differentiation in the embryonal carcinoma cell line TERA2.cl.SP12. MALDI-TOF MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry) protein profiles support previous findings into the functional relationships between these compounds in the TERA2.cl.SP12 line. Subsequent analysis of protein peak data enabled the semi-quantitative comparison of individual retinoid-responsive proteins. We have used ion exchange chromatographic protein separation to enrich for retinoid-inducible proteins, thereby facilitating their identification from SDS-PAGE gels. The cellular retinoid-responsive proteins CRABP-I, CRABP-II, and CRBP-I were up-regulated in response to ATRA and EC23, indicating a bona fide retinoid pathway response to the synthetic compound. In addition, the actin filament regulatory protein profilin-1 and the microtubule regulator stathmin were also elevated following treatment with both ATRA and EC23. The up-regulation of profilin-1 and stathmin associated with retinoid-induced neural differentiation correlates with their known roles in cytoskeletal reorganisation during axonal development. Immunological analysis via western blotting confirmed the identification of CRABP-I, profilin-1 and stathmin, and supported their observed regulation in response to the retinoid treatments.
Article: Synthesis and evaluation of synthetic retinoid derivatives as inducers of stem cell differentiation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and its associated analogues are important mediators of cell differentiation and function during the development of the nervous system. It is well known that ATRA can induce the differentiation of neural tissues from human pluripotent stem cells. However, it is not always appreciated that ATRA is highly susceptible to isomerisation when in solution, which can influence the effective concentration of ATRA and subsequently its biological activity. To address this source of variability, synthetic retinoid analogues have been designed and synthesised that retain stability during use and maintain biological function in comparison to ATRA. It is also shown that subtle modifications to the structure of the synthetic retinoid compound impacts significantly on biological activity, as when exposed to cultured human pluripotent stem cells, synthetic retinoid 4-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ylethynyl)benzoic acid, 4a (para-isomer), induces neural differentiation similarly to ATRA. In contrast, stem cells exposed to synthetic retinoid 3-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ylethynyl)benzoic acid, 4b (meta-isomer), produce very few neurons and large numbers of epithelial-like cells. This type of structure-activity-relationship information for such synthetic retinoid compounds will further the ability to design more targeted systems capable of mediating robust and reproducible tissue differentiation.
Article: Synthesis, photophysics and molecular structures of luminescent 2,5-bis(phenylethynyl)thiophenes (BPETs)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The Sonogashira cross-coupling of two equivalents of para-substituted ethynylbenzenes with 2,5-diiodothiophene provides a simple synthetic route for the preparation of 2,5-bis(para-R- phenylethynyl)thiophenes (R = H, Me, OMe, CF3, NMe2 ,N O 2, CN and CO2Me) (1a-h). Likewise, 2,5-bis(pentafluorophenylethynyl)thiophene (2) was prepared by the coupling of 2,5- diiodothiophene with pentafluorophenylacetylene. All compounds were characterised by NMR, IR, Raman and mass spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and their absorption and emission spectra, quantum yields and lifetimes were also measured. The spectroscopic studies of 1a-h and 2 show that both electron donating and electron withdrawing para-subsituents on the phenyl rings shift the absorption and emission maxima to lower energies, but that acceptors are more efficient in this regard. The short singlet lifetimes and modest fluorescence quantum yields (ca. 0.2-0.3) observed are characteristic of rapid intersystem crossing. The single-crystal structures of 2,5- bis(phenylethynyl)thiophene, 2,5-bis(para-carbomethoxyphenylethynyl)thiophene, 2,5-bis(para- methylphenylethynyl)thiophene and 2,5-bis(pentafluorophenylethynyl)thiophene were determined by X-ray diffraction at 120 K. DFT calculations show that the all-planar form of the compounds is the lowest in energy, although rotation of the phenyl groups about the CRC bond is facile and TD-DFT calculations suggest that, similar to 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene analogues, the absorption spectra in solution arise from a variety of rotational conformations. Frequency calculations confirm the assignments of the compounds' IR and Raman spectra.

Article: Crystal engineering with ethynylbenzenesPart 2. Structures of 4-trimethylsilylethynyl-N,N-dimethylaniline, and 4-ethynyl-N,N-dimethylaniline with Z′ = 12 and a single-crystal to single-crystal phase transition at 122.5 ± 2 K[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The crystal and molecular structures of 4-ethynyl-N,N-dimethylaniline (1), and 4-(trimethylsilylethynyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline (2), have been obtained from X-ray diffraction data. Crystals of 1 exhibit a phase transition at 122.5 ± 2 K. Both polymorphs are triclinic with Z′ = 12, and the molecules are linked into dodecamers by weak hydrogen bonds involving C–H groups. The orthorhombic crystals of 2 show no phase changes and have Z′ = 1.5 (3 half molecules) without short intermolecular contacts.
Article: Arene-perfluoroarene interactions in crystal engineering. XV. Ferrocene-decafluorobiphenyl (1/1)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The title crystal, [Fe(C5H5)2].C12F10, comprises infinite chains of alternating component molecules, linked through face-to-face contacts of nearly parallel cyclopentadienyl and pentafluorophenyl rings. The decafluorobiphenyl molecule has a crystallographic twofold axis and the Fe atom of the ferrocene molecule is on a crystallographic inversion centre, with both cyclopentadienyl rings disordered.
Article: Synthesis, Crystal Structures, Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties, and Theoretical Studies of (p-R-Phenyl)-, (p-R-Phenylethynyl)-, and (E)-[2-(p-R-Phenyl)ethenyl]dimesitylboranes and Related Compounds[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The (p-R-phenyl)dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, MeO, MeS, Br, I), (p-R-phenylethynyl)dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, MeO, MeS, H), (E)-[2-(p-R-phenyl)ethenyl]dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, H(2)N, MeO, MeS, H, CN, NO(2)), (E)-[2-(2-thienyl)ethenyl]dimesitylborane, and (E)-[2-(o-carboranyl)ethenyl]dimesitylborane have been prepared through the reaction of the appropriate p-R-phenyl- and p-R-phenylethynyllithium reagents with dimesitylboron fluoride and by hydroboration of the appropriate p-R-phenylacetylene, 2-ethynylthiophene, and o-ethynylcarborane with dimesitylborane. Their UV/Vis absorption and emission spectra have been recorded in a range of solvents with the fluorescence maxima of the donor-substituted compounds in particular exhibiting large bathochromic shifts in highly polar solvents, indicative of charge transfer leading to large dipole moments in the excited state. The molecular structures of the (p-R-phenyl)dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, MeO, MeS, Br, I), the (E)-[2-(p-R-phenyl)ethenyl]dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, H(2)N MeO, MeS, H), (p-R-phenylethynyl)dimesitylborane (R=Me(2)N), and (E)-[2-(2-thienyl)ethenyl]dimesitylborane, which have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements, offer evidence of increased conjugation in the ground state with increased donor strength of the R substituent. Their first- and second-order molecular hyperpolarizabilities have been obtained from EFISH and THG measurements, the first-order hyperpolarizabilities being largest for the strongest R-substituent donors. AM1 calculations have been performed on these compounds, showing reasonable agreement with the experimentally obtained bond lengths and hyperpolarizabilities, as well as on several related hypothetical compounds containing multiple C==C bonds, most of which are proposed to have even larger hyperpolarizabilities.

Article: Synthesis of Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes possessing bicyclo[3.2.0]heptanyl phosphinite ligands: Identification of a novel Pd(II) precatalyst for 1,6-diene cycloisomerisation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The synthesis of monodentate and bidentate phosphinite ligands, possessing the unusual bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane framework, are reported. A convenient, tin-free synthesis of a key intermediate, namely 3-endo-6-endo-dihydroxybicyclo[3.2.0]heptane, is described. The air-sensitive phosphinite ligand 1 was either protected as the borane adduct, which is air-stable, or reacted directly with bis(acetonitrile)palladium(II)chloride to give the novel air and moisture stable palladium(II) complex 11. A platinum(II) relative 12 has also been synthesised by reaction of phosphinite 1 with bis(benzonitrile)platinum(II)chloride. Each complex has been thoroughly characterised and their molecular structures confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. In catalytic applications, such as cross-coupling reactions of organometallic reagents with organohalides, an unexpectedly poor activity has been established for 11. For example, Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of activated and deactivated aryl bromides with aryl boronic acids, in the presence of catalytic quantities of 11, proceed in low yield, accompanied by substantial homocoupling. Palladium agglomeration, to produce catalytically inactive Pd black, is rapid in these reactions, under both aqueous and non-aqueous conditions. The poor reactivity is proposed to arise through an unfavourable near tetrahedral '(PP′)Pd(0)' geometry, which slows the oxidative addition step in the catalytic cycle with either activated or deactivated aryl halides. The steric bulk of the ligand and the associated large P–M–P′ bite angle, particularly at the palladium zero oxidation state, is proposed to account for the poor reactivity. However, we have established that cationic derivatives of 11 promote the cycloisomerisation of diallylmalonate in a regioselective fashion.

Article: Synthesis, optical properties, crystal structures and phase behaviour of symmetric, conjugated ethynylarene-based rigid rods with terminal carboxylate groups[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of 4-ethynylmethylbenzoate (1) with aryl halides gave 1,2-bis(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)ethyne (2), 1,4-bis(4-carbomethoxyphenylethynyl)benzene (3), 1,4-bis(4-carbomethoxyphenylethynyl)tetrafluorobenzene (4) and 9,10-bis(4-carbomethoxyphenylethynyl)anthracene (5), protected precursors to conjugated rigid rod bis(carboxylato) ligands. The compound 1,4-bis(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)butadiyne (6) was prepared by the oxidative homo-coupling of 1. The hydrolysis of 2 and 3 by NaOH in methanol gave the sodium salts of the respective carboxylate anions and subsequent treatment with HCl gave the corresponding free carboxylic acids. Compounds 2–6 were characterised by absorption, emission, IR, NMR and mass spectrometry and examined for liquid crystal phase behaviour by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and transmitted polarised light microscopy (TPLM). Compound 4 exhibited a nematic phase stable from 233.6 °C until decomposition at 320 °C. The single-crystal structures of 2, 5 and 6 were determined by X-ray diffraction at 110–160 K.

Ugandan Tabloid Names Gays After Anti-Gay Measure Becomes Law
This post was updated at 11:30 a.m. ET
We told you Monday about Uganda's president signing a controversial bill that makes gay sex punishable by terms of up to life in prison. Well, a day later, a Ugandan tabloid has published a list of what it calls the country's "top" 200 homosexuals.
Red Pepper published its list under the headline "Exposed!" and names some people who'd previously not come out as gay.
NPR's Gregory Warner, who reported on the story for our Newscast unit, says:
"The list includes prominent gay activists in Uganda as well as people who have not identified themselves publicly as gay, including a Ugandan hip-hop star and a Catholic priest. An accompanying article heaped praised on Uganda's new Anti-Homosexuality Bill signed yesterday by the president. The bill doesn't only criminalize gay sex, which was already illegal in Uganda, but it makes it a crime not to report gay people, to do activism around LGBT issues, including HIV counseling."
The Associated Press is also reporting on the story, and notes that "the tabloid's publication of alleged homosexuals recalled a similar list published in 2011 by a now-defunct tabloid that called for the execution of gays," and added:
"A Ugandan judge later condemned the [2011] outing of homosexuals in a country where gays face severe discrimination, saying it amounted to an invasion of privacy. A prominent Ugandan gay activist, David Kato, was killed after that list came out, and activists said at the time that they believed he was targeted because of his work promoting gay rights in Uganda."
In signing the bill Monday, President Yoweri Museveni accused Western groups of "coming into our schools and recruiting young children into homosexuality and lesbianism."
The new law is widely popular in Uganda, and is expected to boost Museveni ahead of presidential elections. A similar bill was signed into law in Nigeria last month. According to the human rights group Amnesty International, 38 of Africa's more than 50 nations have anti-gay laws on the books.
The U.S., United Nations and European Union have all criticized the Ugandan law, with several European countries saying they were suspending assistance to Uganda. The Wall Street Journal reports:
"An official at the Norwegian embassy in Kampala said that the measure would immediately affect at least $8 million in aid to Uganda's legal system. Norway extends more than $64 million to Uganda every year. The bulk of western aid has been going directly to the Ugandan government, which would then earmark it for spending in different departments—notably, health, education and the military."
Museveni has said his country doesn't need aid.

Bush Presidential Center website seems decidedly partisan and unscholarlyBreaking News
comments powered by Disqus
More Comments:
Maarja Krusten - 2/3/2009
As a former National Archives' employee, I've long been one to argue about the need to make clear distinctions between NARA, whose mission requires an objective, nonpartisan approach, and private sector entities, such as Presidential Foundations. The Bush Presidential Center is a private sector entity, which is not part of the National Archives. It is the National Archives, of course, administers the George W. Bush Presidential Library. The Bush Center does not fall under NARA control.
Is it really so surprising that a site devoted to White House alumni takes such an approach? Aren't most alumni sites geared towards boosterism? As a hypothetical, a site for retired players of the NFL Washington Redskins is unlikely to devote itself to essays emphasizing the positive about the rival Dallas Cowboys. Given the rah rah "yay, us" nature of informal alumni groups, I'm not terribly surprised that a private sector group associated with a Republican President (or a Democratic one, come to think of it), takes the approach it does. Nor do I find it particularly noteworthy.

THE BEST Spanakopita recipe we've ever had! Made a batch up and had friends over - everyones was so impressed.
Don't omit anything - the dill and nutmeg may just be the secret(!)
I found not near enough spinach (perhaps I didn't pack down as much as I should have) but I ended up doubling the amount of spinach.
Thanks for a great recipe Christine!!
We love Greek food at my house, so this was a sure winner with us! I followed the directions and the instructions were easy to follow to get it into the oven. We will have this more than once. Guaranteed!
I just LOVE Spanakopita, and this was a great recipe for it. Terrifically easy-to-follow instructions, and a scrumptious end result. Like katie, I added garlic, and made this as a single pie. But individual pies would be great if elegance of presentation was important, when serving to dinner guests, for example. I'm glad to have added this recipe to my many recipes for Spanakopita. It had just the right balance of flavours. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! I used all the ingredients...doubled it and made it like a pie. I did add garlic. It was perfect!! Thank you!

Skip to Main Content
Hierarchical generative models and Bayesian belief propagation have been shown to provide a theoretical framework that can account for perceptual processes, including feedback modulation. The framework explains both psychophysical and physiological experimental data and maps well onto the hierar-chical distributed cortical anatomy. The complexity required to model cortical processes makes inference, even using approximate methods, very computationally expensive. Thus, existing models are typically limited to tree-structured networks with no loops, use small toy examples or fail to account for certain perceptual aspects such as invariance to transformations or feedback reconstruction. We propose a novel, rigorous methodology to 1) implement selectivity and invariance using belief propagation on Bayesian networks; 2) combine feedback information from multiple parents, significantly reducing the number of parameters and operations; and 3) deal with loops using loopy belief propagation and different sampling methods. To demonstrate these properties we implement a Bayesian network that reproduces the structure and approximates the operations of HMAX, a biologically inspired large-scale hierarchical model of object recognition. Hence, the proposed model not only achieves successful feed forward recognition invariant to position and size, but also extends the original model by including high-level feedback connections that reproduce modulatory effects such as illusory contour completion, attention and mental imagery. Overall, the proposed methodology, based on state-of-the art probabilistic approaches, can be used to build biologically plausible models of hierarchical perceptual organization that include top-down and bottom-up interactions. Furthermore, the proposed framework is suitable for large-scale parallel distributed hardware implementations.

We use WP to show our real-time playlist of what songs are playing (www.wfpk.org, top-right corner). So, every time the DJ starts a new song, he publishes a blank post, with the artist/song as the post title, into the category "Playlist."
There's some PHP code behind the scenes that checks the current time/day to see if a syndicated show is running, and if so, it shows the name of that show; if not, it shows the latest entry from the category Playlist.
Works like a charm, but we've had a lot of people ask if we could make it auto-refresh when what's in the "Now playing" section updates, rather than them having to refresh the page.
Doable? Easy? Difficult?

Court Ruling Ends Era of School Desegregation
This week, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that bans the use of race as a factor in assigning students to public schools. It is the end of an era. Since 1954, schools across the country have been under court orders to desegregate.
To mark this historic moment, we look back on the story of Richard McElrath. He was a young, black teacher in Charlotte, N.C., when the schools there desegregated.

Recent protests by Bayswater residents opposing the relocation of the Halcyon Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Service were provided some very direct feedback from Knox Leader Newspaper Editor Cathy Withiel on 08.12.09. Her editorial stated explicitly that the protestors' stigmatising attitudes and behaviour towards people with a mental illness was condemned by Leader Newspapers' and highlighted the fear that centre's clients now face from the community.
StigmaWatch received a number of letters praising the newspaper's stand and using its community platform to express concerns of stigma against people with mental illness. After contacting Cathy, the newspaper also published StigmaWatch's letter of praise in its newspaper.

It's 1939. The Nazis have supermen, the British have demons, and one perfectly normal man is caught in between. Raybould Marsh is a British secret agent in the early days of the Second World War. During a mission back in the Spanish Civil War, he saw something strange: a German woman with wires going into her head. She looked at him as if she knew him. When the Nazis start running missions with people who have unnatural abilities a woman who can turn invisible, a man who can walk through walls, and the woman from Spain who can use her knowledge of the future to twist the present Marsh is the man who gets to handle the problem. He rallies the secret warlocks of Britain to hold the impending invasion at bay. But magic always exacts a price. Eventually, the sacrifice necessary to defeat the enemy will be as terrible as outright loss. Alan Furst meets Alan Moore in the opening of an epic of supernatural alternate history, the tale of a twentieth century like ours but also profoundly different.

WACO (April 9, 2013)—McLennan County Commissioners Tuesday authorized $116,000 in back pay for jailers to comply with a U.S. Labor Department order.
The pay is to cover times over a two-year period when jailers who were supposed to be on lunch breaks were asked to perform tasks.
When benefits are figured in, the total amount owned will rise to $145,000.
The money will be allocated next week and the affected employees will then get checks.

Genre: Gonzo
Nasty is the key word here as the girls do their best to keep every hole continuously filled in threesome action.
Like, gag me with a spoon, but forget the spoon. These ladies appear determined to prove that their gag reflexes are numb to fingers and cocks as all of the above are jammed as deeply as possible with a lot of saliva and bug-eyed expressions resulting from this cramming. From here, d.p. and pelvic fingering are the norm, with messy finishes slopped from mouth to shoes to mouth. Each scene is virtually the same.
Vanessa Lane is especially eager for this deep, dual attention. In her creative facial finish, she holds her mouth open wide by using high heels to open the orifice.
Pre-nom for Best Gonzo.

Eddy current problems are commonly solved by neglecting displacement current. This assumption reduces Maxwell's equations to a parabolic partial differential equation [1]. It is shown that neglecting displacement currents entirely may reduce the space dimension of the problem and yields the magnetic and electric fields in the conducting regions accurately. However, the electric fields in the air regions are very inaccurate, and the charge distribution resulting on the conducting surfaces is absent in the standard solution, which neglects displacement currents and longitudinal field variations. The standard solution is found to yield the proper value of skin depth over a very wide range of conductivity, permeability, and frequency.

Forget the Department of Arts and Culture's #WearADoek campaign for Women's Month. It is the simplicity of a young woman who stripped naked and stood quietly below the six-metre-high bronze statue of Nelson Mandela in Sandton last week who captured local imagination.
Braveheart, as the woman has been named, has in some way enabled women to "re-embody" our bodies in a space that is generally hostile, an issue which US feminist and activist Eve Ensler, currently in South Africa, has made her life's work. By MARIANNE THAMM.
Two days before 1 August, the start of Women's Month in South Africa, a young and as of yet unknown woman in Johannesburg performed a gesture so profound and so simple that it has since come to embody much of that which is left unspoken or which is "unspeakable" when it comes to women and violence in South Africa.
Around lunchtime on Tuesday, 31 July, the woman strode across Mandela Square, removed her clothing and stood naked for a few minutes beneath the enormous bronze statue of a dancing Mandela. From a subsequent video that was recorded on a phone (and if one can ignore the cat calls and inane laugher of those ...

Water woes continue for folks in Kentucky after heavy rain caused flooding in parts of the state.
In Pike County water covered just about everything in sight, leaving baseball fields, signs, roads and homes in a lot of water. Some residents living along Beaver Dam waited out the weather in their trucks and cars.
Many say despite the inconvenience, they are still thankful because it could be a lot worse.
