The literature of heart disturbances associated with asthma begins at an early date and is voluminous. It deals largely, however, with cardiac dyspnea or what is now called "cardiac asthma," wherein asthma is an expression of underlying cardiac injury. Einthoven,1 von Basch,2 Dixon and Brodie 3 and others 4 induced bronchospasm in animals and noted the circulatory effects. Although in these experiments the pulmonary mechanism of bronchial asthma probably was simulated in part, the results are at wide variance with one another. Only one detailed study was found concerning the effect of true bronchial asthma on the heart, a report by Götzl and Kienböck,5 who observed the heart radioscopically in two cases. A perusal of many of the modern textbooks reveals considerable lack of uniformity of opinion on this subject. In 1920 two of the great American systems of medicine were published; in one, Walker 6 writes:

I'm on the most recent version of both WordPress and Super Cache, and everything is working great except that preloading the cache ONLY works for our main site and not our other WordPress sites in a single multisite setup.
There are around 300 pages on http://example.com and they are all preloaded just fine, but example.com/site2, example.com/site3, and example.com/site4 are not preloaded by hitting the "preload now" button.
The other sites ARE cached after someone visits them, however. It's only preloading that doesn't work.
Any idea what might be the problem?

I have a java app that is running in my browser. At a specific point the app will crash. I would like to find the exception that is being thrown (if possible) so I can show it to the support of the company that makes the app.
Is there a standard place for this? Or a way that capture it? (So I can prove that it is happening.)

1. Don't arch your back too much
When bench pressing it's good to have a slight arch in your back, but a notable back arch when performing a standing shoulder press isn't advisable. The full force of the weight is coming down on your spine as you lower the barbell, so an overarched spine can cause bad back pain. Try to keep your core solid and your back straight thougout the move to avoid injury.
2. Use the full range of motion
Make sure that you employ the full range of motion when performing the shoulder press. Bring the bar all the way down to your torso on each of the reps so that you really hit your deltoids. Lower the bar to around eye level, then return to the finishing position to make the move a bit easier while loading your tricpes a bit more than your shoulders. This added range of motion will help to increase the time you spend under tension as each rep will take around twice as long, adding to the release of more hormones that are important for burning fat and building muscle.
3. Don't press in front of your body
The press is a vertical push loaded over the spine. A slight shift in position that moves the bar away from alignment directly over the spine creates unwanted shearing forces on the back and shoulders. When you press, finish with the bar directly above your neck, looking through "the window" that you've created with your arms up.

Love all of them.
The pine notes are almost non-existent to me ... I remember it having a Pine-Sol leathery feel to it, not anymore. Smells like a campfire with cigarette smoke in the background.

I agree, what gives? If it's discounted, it's maybe $10 off the department store retail price. Not much of a discount.
I like the smell of burning wood. I love sitting around campfires or bonfires at the beach and having that scent in your face. But this isn't something I could wear all day, I don't think. Shame.
Just "blind" bought a 4 oz. bottle of Polo Green (I say "blind" because I haven't tried this new formulation; I've been around and smelled the old formulation a lot) and I must say... it's pretty...
Mine was just like that. No worries.
I didn't like Egoiste at all but I can see it as a classy fragrance. Givenchy Gentleman wasn't too memorable for me (the notes), but I remember liking it. I'd say if you're going for a fragrance that...
There are no strong fragrances. Only weak men who can't handle wearing them. Blind buy it.
Nordstrom at the Stonestown Galleria in SF has it, was just there 3 days ago and they had it.

Roller Derby Series: Derby Daughters (and Sons) LbNA # 41575 (ARCHIVED)

|Hike Distance
This is the second box in our Roller Derby Series. If you haven't found "Roller Derby Series: Bradentucky Bombers" you might want to start there so you know what this is all about.
In this box, we are recognizing Derby Daughters (and Sons) for their own personal sacrifices. You see, the daughters of the amazing Roller Derby women, refs, and coaches have to give up time with their moms due to the rigorous derby practice schedule. The daughters and sons also do a lot of volunteer work at the games. Often times when you hear the loudest cheer in the place it's a derby daughter or son cheering their mom on. And what a wonderful role model this sport is for girls. You can be a woman, be feminine, but still play a rough sport. Okay, so the fishnets might be pushing it, but most of the young girls we've talked to say their moms can do anything. If they can play roller derby, they must be tough...except when they give hugs. (Note that most of the moms of these derby kids are normal looking "soccer moms" by day.)
We actually got the idea for this box from a real live Derby Daughter who goes by the kid version of her Mom's skate name, ProseHack, 40mg. The daughter is ProseHack Jr., #20mg, and she's her mom's biggest fan.
ProseHack Jr. told us to hide this box at a place where kids like to go and gave us a perfect spot. It is a short drive from where the Bradentucky Bombers box is hidden and just across the way from where the Bradentucky Bombers hold their after-parties following a home game. The reason kids like to go to this place is because they sell a popular children's product. Need more help? The place doubles as a salon AND if you're having a party, you can rent tables and chairs from a nearby rental store. If all else fails, the number "207" should help. This might be a little tricky, but ProseHack Jr. gave us the following for the clue:
Where a garden starts or ends,
There is something you walk through,
Look around the garden,
and something is waiting for you.
When you find the thing that's waiting,
You will be surprised.
Because derby daughters and sons,
Think the toys this place sells are prized!
The box has been placed with the store owner's permission, so be sure to stop inside to thank her and see the store. You will not be disappointed. We've found this is the perfect place to go Christmas shopping.
Good luck!!!!

VERBENA, Ala. (AP) -- A funeral has been scheduled for a soldier who was reported missing in action more than 60 years ago in North Korea.
The body of Army Master Sgt. Olen Berry Williams was returned to his relatives in Alabama earlier this week and was scheduled to be buried Sunday at a cemetery in Verbena -- about 30 miles north of Montgomery.
Williams was declared missing in action in December 1960 and his unidentified remains were interred at a national military cemetery in Hawaii. His relatives used forensic identification tools and biographical information to identify him.
Williams' relatives planned to bury him next to his parents and younger sister.

PreventionGenetics has been in operation since 2004. We have grown steadily over this time, and now have the largest germline DNA test menu of any lab in America. The quality of DNA testing at PreventionGenetics is second to none. "Getting the tests right" has always been our first priority.
PreventionGenetics is CLIA accredited through CAP. Our quality assurance processes, however, far exceed regulatory requirements. For example, we have had to date one error out of 8,800 total Proficiency Tests, both external and internal. Our sequencing error rate is about one per 4.2 million nucleotides or one per 1600 sequence variants. Other summary measures of quality are listed in the "About Us" section of the web site.
Utilization Management
Teamwork Increases the Value of Genetic Testing
Utilization management is a current topic of particular interest in the realm of genetic testing. For many hospitals and health systems, the cost of sending out genetic tests is high (often > $1 million per year) and increasing at an annual average rate of about 20% (PLUGS©). Through utilization management strategies at PreventionGenetics, over 1.3 million healthcare dollars are saved annually
DNA Banking
A Valuable Gift for Your Family
DNA Banking is the simple and affordable process of securely storing of an individual's DNA for use by the next generation for possible future testing. DNA can be banked at any time during a person's life but it is particularly urgent for the elderly and terminally ill. Once a person is cremated, it is not possible to obtain a DNA sample.Order DNA Banking Kits

Click is a Filipino youth-oriented TV series produced and aired by GMA Network from December 4, 1999 to July 24, 2004. The show jump-started the careers of the several popular young actors and actresses in the Philippines today, such as Richard Gutierrez, Alessandra de Rossi, Angel Locsin, Jake Cuenca, JC de Vera, Jennylyn Mercado, Bianca King and many more. The series is shown every Saturday and was conceived to fill in the void of T.G.I.S. on its timeslot after VIVA withdrew co-productions with GMA.

The show revolves around a clique of friends, each with unique personalities. Their lives and loves intertwined as they face the pains, struggles, challenges and discoveries of teenage life.
Audience and critical reception[edit]
When Click was launched to fill in the void of TGIS, critics were saying that the show will not be able to reach the hysteria & popularity created by its predecessor, but sky high ratings and positive review of the show later proved the critics wrong and ironically many TGIS alumni also guested on the show.
It was also regarded that Click is the only teen drama that equaled the success of TGIS.

Faced with the absence of new actress Valerie Concepcion due to her unexpected pregnancy with co star Neil Patrick Ramos.

We were promised the remaining episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars would be released sometime this year, and now we know exactly when and where: The sixth and final season of the beloved animated series will arrive March 7 on Netflix.
Dubbed "The Lost Missions," the final 13 episodes will be accompanied on the video-streaming service by the entire Clone Wars saga, including several director's cut episodes that never aired on Cartoon Network. The agreement, which marks the first time Star Wars content has been available on Netflix, is part of a new multi-year agreement.
Lucasfilm announced in March that "the time has come to wind down" The Clone Wars, clearing the way for a new animated series, Star Wars Rebels, to launch on Disney XD in the fall. The studio said at the time that no more episodes were being produced for Cartoon Network, but promised that new story arcs were being developed.
"Stars Wars is one of the most iconic franchises of all time and this series joins a long line of Disney content that Netflix members are and will continue to enjoy for years to come," Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content officer, said in a statement. "The Clone Wars marks an important moment as Netflix welcomes more and more first-run content from The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries."
The deal follows the announcement made in November that Marvel Television and ABC Television Studios will produce multiple live-action series for Netflix featuring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and the Defenders.
"The studio said at the time that no more episodes were being produced for Cartoon Network, but promised that new story arcs were being developed. "Stay tuned for more information on where fans can soon find this bonus content"
So is this confirmation that there will be new content(new story arcs, or mini-series) besides the lost episodes on Netflix? Seems to me thats also implied
I have to say that the possibility of having something similar to the Marvel Deal on Netflix for Star Wars sounds exciting – say a handful of live action shows exploring different aspects of the universe, maybe over several eras. They could even utilise some of those long rumoured scripts for the 'Will it ever actually happen' Star Wars Live Action TV Show.
But outside that I'm looking forwards to finally getting to see all of Clone Wars, it's been on my hitlist of shows to watch for years. And I assume Rebels will get the same treatment eventually.

Of Tortoise and Men
Abdul Shukoor pushes aside the strap-shaped leaves of the pandanus tree, and his eyes light up in excitement. "Look!" he says with a beaming smile, as he takes in the sight of several tortoise nestled near the muddy base of the tree's rooted trunk. "They eat the screwpine fruit and sometimes breadfruit too," he explains to the group of school-goers who have accompanied him to spot the tortoise habitat. One of the boys picks up a baby tortoise and strokes gently along the yellowish-orange patch on its head.
Shukoor is delighted with the interest they are showing in the tortoise. He feels that it is a result of the work that Venture Club - the NGO which he belongs to, based on the island of Kaashidhoo, has been doing to create awareness of this endangered species.
Shukoor takes the group a few steps away, so that the tortoise could freely plod about. He explains how that the tortoise, or Kanzu Kahanmbu as the locals call them, especially the highly polished, ebony shell of the tortoise with beautiful natural markings, have been of much value in the islands of the Maldives since the time of kings. "The shells were made into women's bracelets and into pretty boxes and caskets set in silver. Kanzu Kahanmbu is the only tortoise we have in the country, but because of such activities that have been going on for a long time, we now sadly have very few tortoises," he tells them.
- Due to their rapidly dwindling numbers, Maldives has declared the tortoise as endangered and as a protected species
- While tortoise inhabited seven islands before, now they are found only in three islands
- Kaashidhoo Island is a farming community. There is pressure to use the tortoise habitat for agriculture
- NGO Venture Club is creating awareness about protecting the tortoise population on the island of Kaashidhoo, with support from GEF-SGP/UNDP
Due to their rapidly dwindling numbers, Maldives has declared the tortoise as endangered and stated them as a protected species. According to the Environment Protection Agency, while tortoise inhabited seven islands before, now they are found only in three islands; Kaashidhoo in Male Atoll, Mulee in Meemu Atoll and Nellaidhoo in Haa Dhaalu Atoll. But now, under new regulations, it is a crime to keep these species as pets, disturb their nests or destroy their habitats.
As the group emerges from the woods, Mohamed Farooq is waiting for his grandson who animates his excitement and relays the stories from the day, mainly how the tortoise use their long sharp nails to climb and walk.
Farooq details how even though people are showing more concern for the tortoise, there was a time when islanders collected them to keep them as pets or trade them. "The main issue now would be the threats from agricultural activities. Sometimes you can see burnt shells of the tortoise on these lands. But people have to eat too," says a wistful Farooq.
Kaashidhoo is a farming community. Most of the land out of its 227 hectares is used for farming activities. Due to the use of chemicals, the land deteriorates, making farmers wait for long periods for it to be replenished again. As a result, almost all the land has been used up and further, the Government has built a prison on 25 hectares of the land.
"There is pressure to use the tortoise habitat for agriculture. When it comes to livelihoods, farming will win. This is posing a serious threat for this endangered species. Venture Club wants to ensure this habitat remains a protected area when the day comes," explains Shukoor.
Venture Club is creating awareness about protecting the tortoise population on the island of Kaashidhoo, under a project supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme, assisted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
"The work that the NGO is doing is important. We want to see sustainability for this project, for the tortoise population to increase and for their habitat to become a conservation area in the future," said GEF-SGP Coordinator, Fathimath Ghina.
The President of the Island Council of Kaashidhoo, Ali Sulthan agrees that Kaashidhoo is rare and unique in that it is among the few islands in the whole of Maldives with a native endangered species, and realizes how important it is to protect their habitat. "The Council is trying to assist in this work as much as we can. We have provided venues, made announcements for Venture Club, granted permission on land matters, and assisted with clearing the land even," said Sulthan.
"Our challenge is to balance people's needs while taking heed of our rich biodiversity," he added hopefully.

Snakehead rhabdovirus
|Snakehead rhabdovirus
|Virus classification
|Group V ((-)ssRNA)
|Snakehead rhabdovirus
Snakehead rhabdovirus (SHRV) is a Novirhabdovirus[1] that affects various species of warm water wild and pond-cultured fish in Southeast Asia, including snakehead species for which it is named.[2]
Investigations were conducted in the 1970s and 1980s to search for infectious agents that cause or contribute to a severe ulcerative disease, known as epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS), which causes high mortalities among a variety of fish species in Asia and the Pacific region.[3] SNRV was isolated by virologist W. Wattanavijarn from a snakehead murrel, Channa striata (formerly Ophicepahalus striatus), a species of snakehead fish, which exhibited signs of epizootic ulcerative syndrome following an outbreak of this syndrome in Thailand.[3] The new viral isolate was identified as a rhabdovirus based on images and measurements taken via transmission electron microscopy and biochemical test results.[3] Plaque neutralization tests and immunofluorescence tests demonstrated that the new isolate was serologically unrelated to several other fish rhabdoviruses, including anquilla rhabdovirus (EVX), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), pike fry rhabdovirus (PFRV), spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV), and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV).[3] Subsequent infection studies exposing healthy snakehead murrels from a susceptible population to SHNV did not develop clinical signs associated with EUS, suggesting that SHRV does not play a significant role in EUS.[4]
It is classified as a Novirhabdovirus because it possesses a nonvirion gene (NV), which is the distinguishing feature of this genus.[5] The NV gene is situated between the glycoprotein (G) and the polymerase (L) genes,[6] and contains a single open reading frame (ORF), which is 335 nucleotides in length.[5] It is called the "nonvirion" gene because no corresponding protein is present in the virion.[2] Although the NV genes of novirhabdoviruses are similar in size, including approximately 110-122 codons, little sequence homology is evident.[2]
Coding sequences of its glycoprotein (G) genes were found to be similar to the three other presently-classified novirhabdoviruses, VHSV, IHNV, and Hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV), with between 36% and 47% amino acid identity.[7]
SHRV is an enveloped, bullet-shaped RNA virus measuring approximately 170 nm x 60 nm with an electron dense nucleocapsid.[3]
The SHRV genome is a non-segmented, negative sense RNA genome that is approximately 11,550 nucleotides in length,[2] with six ORFs, including the matrix (M) gene, the nonvirion (NV) gene, the nucleoprotein (N) gene, the phosphoprotein (P) gene, the polymerase (large protein, L) gene, and the viral glycoprotein gene (G), arranged in the following order: 3'-N-P-M-G-NV-L-5'.[6]
Viral replication occurs at both 15 °C and 28 °C in cell line derived from snakehead and carp,[3] although the optimal temperature range for viral replication is between 28 °C and 31 °C.[2]
SHRV has been demonstrated to become inactivated following treatment with acid (pH = 3), chloroform (50%), and heat (56 °C).[3] SHRV in distilled water can be completely inactivated by less than five minutes of exposure to 12.5 ppm chlorine, 50 ppm iodine, or a 1:2000 dilution of peroxygen disinfectant.[8]
Exposure of infective virions in cell culture material to 2% formalin reduced infectivity by 99.9% after 5 minutes, and completely after 30 minutes.[8] However, exposure of infectious cell culture material to 0.025% formalin for 60 minutes caused only a negligible reduction in infectivity,[8] and more than 50 ppm chlorine was needed to inactivate the virus[8] Also in cell culture fluids, exposure to 500 ppm iodine for 30 minutes did not reduce infectivity.[8] The virus does not lose infectivity when exposed in cell culture fluids to malachite green for 6 hours at 5 ppm.[8]
Experimental Infections[edit]
Snakehead Infections[edit]
Infection studies with SHNV did not produce disease in exposed healthy snakehead murrels.[4]
Zebrafish Infections[edit]
The first experimental infections conducted with SHRV in zebrafish demonstrated that the NV gene played no important role in the pathogenesis of infection.[5] Subsequent experimental infections exposed zebrafish embryos, juveniles, and adults to SHRV by immersion and/or intraperitoneal (IP) injection.[9] Whereas embryos and larvae were susceptible to infection by immersion, adult zebrafish were only susceptible to infection by IP injection.[9] Histopathology of infected embryos and juvenile fish revealed vascular monocyte accumulation, accumulation of cellular debris in the gas bladder, necrosis of hepatocytes, and necrosis of pharyngeal epithelial cells.[9] SHRV induced interferon (IFN) and orthomyxovirus resistance (Mx) gene expression in zebrafish at levels dependent on route of inoculation and fish age.[9]

Great plugin!
I am having one small issue, though. I am using the justified image grid plugin and there is a slight conflict with the alligator popup on a mobile device. When I open an image on a mobile device, the lightbox opens up into an extremely small window....basically making my website mobile gallery browsing useless. I have tried adjusting the settings with the justified image grid, but had no luck.
Is there anything I can adjust or modify with the alligator plugin to resolve this?
Thank you

Radical, OP
Che Guevara once wrote that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love. For some—especially those over fifty—that remark will call up the illusions of the 1960s, when many a callow undergraduate succumbed to the charms of revolution. And remember liberation theology, in which left-wing Christians discovered a modern variation on the Exodus tale? To such Christians, imbued with the spirit of the time, a vision of peasants and workers seizing state power became an augury of the heavenly kingdom.
Worn down by political repression and condemned by conservatives in the Vatican, the alliance of Marx and God broke apart with the triumph of neoliberalism, creating a large cohort of spurned and sometimes angry ex-revolutionaries.
One such enragé was the Irish Dominican Herbert McCabe. (Born in England, McCabe renounced his citizenship as an act of solidarity with his ancestral homeland, and subsequently spoke of "your government" to his English confreres.) McCabe, who died at age seventy-five in 2001, possessed an extraordinary personal and intellectual magnetism, and over the decades befriended or instructed an impressive array of philosophers, theologians, and writers, including Alasdair MacIntyre, Fergus Kerr, James Alison, Seamus Heaney, Anthony Kenny, and Terry Eagleton, to name just a few. His sometimes tumultuous tenure as editor of New Blackfriars, the Dominican journal, is the stuff of legend. Removed from his post in 1967...

Skip to comments.Woman 'who bought Renoir for $7 at flea market' faces FBI investigation .... painting was stolen
Posted on 04/07/2013 7:12:27 AM PDT by Uncle Chip
A Virginia woman claiming to have purchased Renoir painting for $7 at a flea market has been unmasked and is now under FBI investigation after it emerged the painting was stolen in 1951.
Marcia 'Martha' Fuqua from Loudon County, Virginia, had tried to remain anonymous and said she purchased the painting simply for its frame and had no special understanding of art.
But it has now emerged that the painting 'On the Shore of The Seine' was reported stolen from the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1951, according to the Washington Post.
The FBI seized the painting late last year after learning that information and it has since emerged that Fuqua's mother was a painter who specialised in reproducing the work of several artists including Renoir.....
In Fuqua's September interview she told the Post, 'Its all very coincidental ... I am one of those people that believes that things happen for a reason.'
'I noticed the frame on this picture and I liked the frame. I bid $7 and I won the box,' she said.
Though the frame boldly shows a center plaque reading RENOIR on it, she said she never thought that it would be authentic, it having been found in a box at a flea market after all.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
It would be curious to know where it sat from 1959 to 2013. My humble bet is that some insider to the Museum stole it, and put it for safe-keeping in the attic til they could re-sell it. The guy passes away, and it all gets parted up with relatives who never know the value.
How could the cops know about it unless she tried to sell it? If she tried to sell it to a legitimate art dealer then she couldn't have known it was stolen. If she tried to sell in underground then it must have been an undercover cop that nabbed her.
Any other theories?
Looks like she wasted her $7.
I gotta get an eye exam. The frame is clear but the painting is fuzzy.
If I saw that at a flea market I would have pegged it as a fake.
Most of the "art" that fetches millions of dollars looks just like the stuff that I put on the fridge when the kids brought it home from school.
I don't know how an art authority could possibly know that it was being sold in a flea market. They don't usually attend such low brow markets.
The only thing I can think of is that the authorities were more aware of the location of this particular painting than they were willing to admit to and just were biding their time until it saw daylight.
Well,,,, Today,,,, Art can be a booger with a hair in it!
I first thought, why would anybody pay $7 for that, then I thought ... Hell why would anybody steal it.
RENOIR 1841-1919 on the frame and someone sells it for $7???? They don't bother to check to see if the painting is a Renoir???
And the daughter of a woman who restored works of art like Renoir just happens to find it in a flea market????
It's been in the family for 60 years and the daughter knew it was stolen and came up with the $7 flea market story so she could claim it as hers and unload it for a load.
Lived a good part of my life in Baltimore.
Amazed that they had a Renoir to begin with.
Read the article. Her mother was an artist and she did reproductions, especially Renoir.
Looks like she needed money and decided to chance it.
In Fuqua's September interview she told the Post,
You know, I'm no expert, but isn't it RULE NUMBER ONE that if you're " trying to remain anonymous", that you DON'T GIVE INTERVIEWS ?
Renoir's paintings are really something...
I was looking at a print of a large one, one day, and suddenly a real-life image of what he was painting must have looked like snapped into my head, and I couild see it as vividly in my imagination as if I was standing there. I could see how he capture the feel of it perfectly
40 years later I still rmemeber that sudden feeling, in every Renoir I look at.
I get a slight feeling of it again from this one...
There were two wealthy, Baltimore high society sisters, Claribel and Etta Cone in the early 20th Century who put together an impressive collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings which they left to the BMA and Walters Art Gallery pretty well known in art circles as, "the Cone Collection."
Not sure if this painting was part of it, but certainly wouldn't be surprised if it was.
If only there was more information than that excerpt, somewhere...
All right — I'll bite — what real life image are we looking here???
I read the article and it doesn't give a clue as to how the authorities could have known about it being in a flea market.
It's quite common for the authorities to not release certain information lest they compromise the case, methods, or eyewitnesses.
I think it was meant to be used as a Rorschach Test.
She did try to sell it at auction.
From Judge to Determine Fate of Renoir Stolen in 1951
After it was appraised at $75,000 to $100,000, she made arrangements to have it sold through an auction to be conducted by the Potomack Company. The auction house announced shortly before the sale that it was pulling the painting from its listings after a Washington Post reporter uncovered its history.
How she got it could have been a true story or it could have been something she just made up to cover how she really got it. That's why it's being investigated.
She looked exactly like a gal who was in my 19th Century Art class in college. When the prof put the slide up on the screen, every student in the class did a double take...needless to say, she was a bit embarassed.
She trumpeted its flea market provenance in at least one published interview.
"After the auction house was contacted by a Washington Post reporter who revealed the piece's theft, the FBI stepped in, immediately removing the painting from Fuquas possession."
I see a man dumping Rorschach into the river.
If she bought it just for the frame why was the painting still in it ?
As well most thieves sell stolen property within days if not hours. So her momma is suspect due her profession / hobby skill set.
Momma may have passed away recently and daughter tried to cash in...
My "what if" on the matter....aka serious wild ass guess...SWAG !
***Looks like she wasted her $7.***
Renoir was a good artist. This looks like he used this canvas to wipe excess paint from his brushes after he was done painting for the day.
Too bad. Two hairs would make the booger a masterpiece.
not just today.....still cannot understand what a "Jackson Pollack" is....what crap...
Oooops How did that happen???
Hopefully, she's only out the $7 and not tons of legal fees for this investigation.
She no doubt has her fingers crossed that her deceased mother's fingerprints don't show up on the picture frame.
Does that mean you know where it sat from 1952 thru 1958? /sarcasm
She said she stored it in a plastic trash bag for two years, even in a shed at one point, before having it authenticated as a genuine Renoir.
Supposedly the brother recanted his story about how long it had been in the family.
Maybe all this publicity over its theft and sequestration for 60 years is part of a plan to drive up its value.
A picture of her from 2010 in blackjack school.
Fuqua's mother graduated Goucher College with a degree in fine art, before in 1957 receiving a masters degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art.
Hard to tell if she received her masters in 1957 or fine art degree, but I assume it was the fine art degree.
From her picture she appears to have been born in the laste 40's, but more likely in the 50's. So she was either not born or the youngest art thief in history.
Extremely high probability she did not steal it. Maybe they are trying to determine if mom stole it based on the brother's initial accusation that it has been in the family for 50 to 60 years.
Thanks Uncle Chip.
If she had needed money she sure didn't get it by strealing the painting. Not sure mom even had the opportunity to paint reproduction and replace original with it. While the article states in 1957 she either graduated with her art degree or obtained her Masters Degree but it is not really clear which was accomplised in 1957 because of the poor manner that information was presented. So I doubt that she possessed the necessary skills to pull of a quality reproduction of Renoir. If, however, at whatever her age was in 1951, mom that is, possessed the talent to reproduce Renoir's style then she could have supplied that to the actual art thief/thieves and stored the paining for them. But even that I see as doubtful. The article fails to really elaborate on her skills, but rather only insinuates the possibility since she apparently was know to have created reproductions.
Heavy drug usage will do that I am told.
But fencing stolen property is against the law.
It might be one thing to say that I found it amongst my mom's things, but the "I got it at a flea market" story is standard fencing lingo.
40 years later I still rmemeber that sudden feeling,
LSD has been known to cause flashbacks, even decades later......
Looked up Maryland , no statute of limitations on ANY felony. If you're going to steal a masterpiece wait til it's on display in another state.
>>She looked exactly like a gal who was in my 19th Century Art class
Dang, you're old. I didn't realize women could go to college in the 19th Century.
LOL- this was way different
I wish everyone could experience it
When I saw one of his paintings, it was of a bridge over some sort of water garden. I had an instantaneous flash of the actual water garden in my mind, I dont know how or why- it was so strong and vivid it nearly knocked me over.
Quite an amazing experience- it was if I was instantaneously transported there and saw the actual thing, and transported back (in like a half a second)

Neither Why bring a kick or punch to a gunfight
After seeing Bud White's post on 9 vs. .40 and reading all the other caliber debates I got to thinking we are missing one. So here it is.
Which is better a punch or a kick. Now I know I will get some responses from people with some type of arts under their belt and that is ok but I would like to see what everyone thinks.
Punches are faster and leave you in a position of better balance.
Kicks have a longer range and are generally more powerful.
PC has become the term for Political Cowardice.
I have more power in my legs.
A kick can deliver up to 5 times the force according to my old instructors. However, in a street situation the should only be delivered below the waist or the other guy will likely grab you leg. Think knees...
If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. ~ Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
I voted on punches, but really think it depends on how close you are to your opponent. If your at long distance, being more than arm lengths away, kicks can be quite devastating. After 10 years of martial arts and kickboxing, trust me I've experienced that first hand both on the giving and the recieving end. A kick can lay your opponent out very quickly if you land it in the right spot, abdomen, ribs, groin, knee, or if you can reach high enough the neck or head.
Punches are better for close up fighting and allow you to have more self-control. They're better directed, but definitely not as devastating. Punching to the face and hitting the tip of the jaw, nose (buttion), upper lip (filtrum?), side of the jaw (knock out!), are all great targets. But in a real life situation punches will most likely be used the most, but if you can land a kick, it will definitely catch your opponent by surprise, unless they're a martial arts guru or something. Just my take.

Chuck Norris has to maintain a concealed weapon license in all 50 states in order to legally wear his pants.
Shows what you guys know. Everyone knows the deadliest move in the martial arts world is the Punch/Kick.
It's so lethal, it has been banned in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Utah.
I used this technique to fend off an attacker several years ago. While I was walking down the street, I was approached by an individual asking for the time. Knowing this was a set-up for a robbery, my 5.11 senses began to tingle. I put my hands up and told my would-be attacker that I didn't want any trouble. The assailant, knowing that I was on to the scheme, moved closer to me with a hand to her ear saying "What did you say... what did you say?" Seeing that my life was in immediate danger, I performed the Punch/Kick, and neutralized my attacker. As she fell to the ground, clutching her throat, I immobilized her even further by chucking her walker into incoming traffic. Unfortunately, the car that was hit by the walker was hit in the windshield. Even more unfortunate, the car was driven by members of my would-be attacker's gang. Seeing one of their own layed out on the pavement, they immediately stopped, exited the car and approached me. I flashed my CCW badge at them, and seeing they had absolutely no respect for the law, I made a hasty retreat to the local YMCA and hid in a bathroom stall until the situation calmed down.
That day I swore I would never be ambushed again.
As an old, fat white guy, lifting my foot high enough to kick someone could end up with me on my back :)
I'll punch, if I have no choice. Until then, I will try to make sure that I do have some other choice!
Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. It's worth it.
RazerBlade, you are a brave man.
I would be terrified if attacked by someone packing a tactical assault walker.
I hope you made it to the stall before the inevitable accident.
Neither a 45 out does um all
i edited the poll so it is somewhat related since you did put this in concealed carry guns
Depends on the proximity, and if your arms are bound from delivering an effective strike (guy's up in your face, you're against the wall, etc. - no room to maneuver).
I've found that a palm brought down right on top of a guy's nose works well, in a smacking motion.
Aside from that, depending on your position, deliver a roundhouse kick with the top edge of your foot (where the tongue of your footwear is) into his knee, coming in from the side. Alternatively, you can stomp his knee from the side as well. Either technique will most likely snap his leg in half at the joint, and render him unable to pursue (if you're next COA is to, of course, run.)
All in all, however, I'd have to say punch, simply for the faster deployment and higher propensity for disorientation, giving you the moment's hesitation and/or unawareness to draw, if the situation dictates.
Besides, the punch transcends generations, and has it's own lexicon. You've never heard of anyone being "sucker kicked," have you?
I think that there is a time for everything but in a gunfight i'm using my gun(s). If it is hand to hand I am serving up some pain with my two hands and maybe kick but... yeah I might kick.
I prefer to deflect an attack and use my opponents force against them and then lay sever submission hold techniques on my attacker until either help arrives or I have to break something for them to stop the attack! So I didn't vote for any of them. Sorry, trained in Tenshin Aikido to long I guess.
But for the threads sake I would say a kick would be the greatest force generated between the two. However kicking, unless well trained really will not do a whole lot of damage unless that kick is above the waist other than the one spot we all know the will take all us men to the ground very quickly that is below the waist. So this is a tough one, a punch can be placed better to the more critical area's but when in a fight it is hard to land on a moving target.
It comes down to the training I guess, I would probably fail in a fist fight with a trained fighter because I have trained in defending/defecting blows not giving blows.
Interesting debate!
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!
I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
Both can be effective. Generally a person's legs are stronger than thier arms. It is very common to have someone punch harder (more effectively) than kick. This is a training issue most likely.
I prefer strikes and not punches. Punching puts your knuckles in danger of being broken or injured in the fight rendering that hand useless. Strikes with the palm or "karate chop" part of the hand are better as they are more padded and have stronger bones in them. If you stike in a chop and injure your hand, you can still use it to palm strike or as a last resort punch. If I am in H2H, my first target is the brachial nerve. If that fails I go for the junk. (Show me a rule book on streetfighting and then I will follow them.)
Kicks should be below the waist or as a desperation strike to stomach. No spinning moves; leave those to Hollywood. Never turn your back to your opponent. Never. Not even for a fraction of a second.
FWIW, I studied BJJ, karate, TKD, Dim Mak (big joke), and got intro'd to Krav Maga. I am a master in Klik Pao.
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006
Probably the only home based FFL that doesn't do transfers.
Both have their places in a H2h situation. A kick is capable of delivering more power, and can also be used to gain seperation in the case of a frontal kick, giving you room to say, pull your firearm out and defend yourself with that. Also, anyone that has ever recieved a low kick to the back of the thigh/inner thigh, can attest to the ability of this kick to limit mobility.
Punches tend to be able to be delivered quirker and with more accuracy generally. They lack the power of a kick however. If close enough I prefer an elbow strike to a punch, as stated above punching can damage your hand, and an elbow strike can deliver three times the power of a punch. Other strikes as decribed above are also extremely useful.
But in any situation I would rather achieve some sort of joint locking technique or a blood choke in order to gain control of the other person. Just my opinion.
I got the intro to MCMAP when I was in NROTC (learned locks and chokes there), and have studied judo, and shuai jiao.
Punches can generally be delivered quicker

MENIFEE, Calif. (AP) Ś Authorities say theyĺve found possible human remains Wednesday at the Southern California desert home of an 11-year-old autistic boy who vanished over the weekend.
Investigators served a search warrant before dawn at the home of Terry Dewayne Smith Jr., Riverside County sheriffĺs Deputy Albert Martinez said.
They dug up ôpossible human remainsö but had not confirmed whether they were human. He had no details on the condition of the remains.
Other details were not immediately released but authorities expected to hold a news conference later in the day.
Televised news reports showed sheriffĺs investigators concentrating on what appeared to be a small hole by a tree and about 75 feet from the house, which sits in a rambling, weedy lot off a remote road.
The boy was reported missing on Sunday morning in the Riverside County community about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
Volunteers scoured the desert and brushlands, worried that he may have wandered off without food, water or special medication.
However, ôfoul play has never been ruled outö by investigators, Martinez said.
Terry was last seen Saturday night, reportedly following his 16-year-old half-brother, who told the boy to go home, the Desert Sun said. The boyĺs mother, Shawna Smith, said she didnĺt realize he was missing until the next day
Searches of the area with a bloodhound, horses and a helicopter were unsuccessful. Hundreds of volunteers also joined the effort but days of covering miles of desert in 100-degree temperatures turned up nothing.
Martinez said the official search was suspended until investigators can determine what they found at the home.
However, volunteers continued to hope for the boyĺs safety on Wednesday and some said they planned to continue the hunt.
ôUntil we have absolute confirmation from the sheriff directly, we will continue to do our job, which is to search,ö said a posting on a Facebook page where the volunteer search was organized.
At midmorning, some volunteers held a prayer circle as word spread that investigators were at the boyĺs home looking for possible human remains.
ôWe will find a way to remember him in our hearts,ö said Jenny Smith, who was one of his fourth-grade teachers.
ôI just donĺt want to believe it,ö Dallal Harb, who owns a nearby market and used to take the boy home from school, told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/187cRUu ).
ôI see whatĺs going on,ö she said. ôBut I just donĺt want to believe it.ö

Federal authorities say they plan to crack down on identify theft rings that they believe are helping illegal immigrants obtain work.
Nearly 1,300 people were arrested in raids on six Swift and Co. meat-packing plants Tuesday, in the largest-ever workplace crackdown on illegal immigration.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says people's identities were being bought or stolen so that illegal immigrants could secure jobs in the United States.

To the Editor.—
In a recent issue of the Archives (137:1625-1626, 1977), Piering et al presented a case report of infantile polycystic kidney disease in a 27-year-old woman. They arrived at their diagnosis even though their patient reached adulthood harboring a disease that is almost invariably fatal during childhood or adolescence, and in spite of the fact that their patient demonstrated no evidence of hepatic fibrosis, a universal accompaniment of infantile polycystic disease. Moreover, the illustration of the intravenous urogram that accompanied their paper failed to demonstrate the expected "streaky" nephrogram found in infantile polycystic disease, but instead suggested the presence of multiple renal masses, a finding more in keeping with the adult variety of the disorder. Therefore, I believe there is reason to question the diagnosis that they have put forth.The authors do mention the possibility of adult polycystic disease, but dismiss it, as far as I can

Books Great Book Alert
posted by October 12 at 11:52 AMon
Gluten-Free Girl, Seattleite Shauna James Ahern's book about living with joy and celebration amidst celiac disease, hits the shelves today. Ahern's been interviewed extensively for the major papers in town, etc., but I've known of her for quite some time through her delightful and intense food blog. Ahern and her adoring/adorable new husband, the Chef, are in New York doing their own version of a book tour involving Central Park and a mass incantation of John Lennon's Imagine.
I'm not gluten-free, myself. In fact I love gluten. (It does not love me. No matter.) However, Shauna's recipes highlight what's best about food and she works with seasonal, local produce as much as she can. And she writes a lot about local restaurants and markets, in lush, detailed prose that frequently gives me goosebumps.
Shauna and the Chef will be back in Seattle on October 20th, when you can meet them at the University District Farmers Market. They'll be there for two hours (10 am to noon). I'll definitely be stopping by to elevate my status from Blog Lurker to Person Shauna Has Actually Met.

On the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, San Francisco remembers those that died in the terrorist attacks and honors the first responders who rushed in to save lives. Many of the victims of that fateful day had family and friends in the Bay Area, and we join all Americans in mourning their tragic loss.
The events of September 11, 2001 redefined our nation, not only in the scope of the tragedy but also in the demonstration of compassion and generosity that occurred in the hours, weeks and months following. In San Francisco, and around the country, individuals stepped up to give blood, collect donations and volunteer their time as a show of support for our nation.
This year in San Francisco, we will rekindle this spirit of unity by coming together at major community gatherings from remembrance services to cultural and sporting events. Below is a list of events that are occurring the weekend of the September 10-11. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of all activities and is still in development.

|Oral history interview with Abe Krash, conducted by Victor Geminiani, March 17, 1993, National Equal Justice Library, Special Collections, Georgetown Law Library.
|Abe Krash worked for Arnold, Fortas & Porter, and assisted Abe Fortas in researching the issues and writing the brief for Gideon v. Wainwright Gideon v. Wainwright 372 U.S. 335 (1963). In the interview, Krash recalls Fortas' defense strategy, and reflected about the impact of the case as one of the landmark cases of constitutional law in the last fifty years. At the same time, he emphasized that "all of the hopes that we had have not been fulfilled."
Original video recording on VHS is housed in the NEJL. The interview is also available online in the mp4 and webm formats at: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/library/collections/nejl/gideon/index.cfm
The interview was conducted by Victor Geminiani on March 17, 1993, as part of the NEJL oral history project.
Krash is a graduate of the University of Chicago (B.A.1946); the University of Chicago Law School (J.D. 1949); and he was a graduate fellow at the Yale Law School 1949-50. He is presently a Distinguished Visitor from Practice at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. where he teaches Constitutional Law. Krash was a member of President Johnson's Commission on Crime in the District of Columbia in 1966-67, and he was President of the Friends of the Law Library of Congress in the 1990s. For many years, he was the head of the anti-trust practice group at Arnold & Porter, and he represented a number of major companies in different kinds of proceedings. He is the author of numerous articles in law reviews and law journals on a variety of subjects. Mr. Krash continues to advocate further reforms to fully realize Gideon's intent: statewide public defender systems, decriminalization of some crimes, and reexamination by the Supreme Court as to what constitutes adequate counsel. In 2013, Krash received the Lifetime Achievers Award from the American Lawyer's.
