Racial integration in religious congregations is a topic of keen interest to researchers and religious leaders. Although not common, there are congregations that successfully reach across cultural lines to attract adherents. Prior studies tend to dichotomize congregations into categories of multiracial and nonmultiracial and, thereby, miss a wider range of racial variation. Using nationally representative congregational data, this article paints a more representative picture of racial diversity in U.S. congregations and puts forward a theory of congregational identity to account for why some congregations succeed at accommodating multiple racial groups in a society where religious life remains overwhelmingly segregated. The analysis capitalizes on a numeric scale of diversity, which measures the evenness of racial group representation in a congregation. While the external environment creates opportunity for racial diversification in congregations, findings demonstrate racially diverse leadership, charismatic worship, and small groups as internal congregational features also relevant to diversity.

Update: Sony has a brand new range of smartphones called the X range, but there's no word if the line-up will include a tablet. It may turn out that Sony has decided to kill the Xperia Z range altogether and if so the Xperia Z6 Tablet may be dead in the water...
Sony released the Xperia Z5 at the tail end of 2015, but its last slate was the Xperia Z4 Tablet a whole generation earlier. We've been due a new one for quite some time.
The Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet was a great attempt, topping our list of the best Android slates, at least until the Google Pixel C and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 arrived. But there's plenty that Sony can do better and here you can see a check list of what we'd like to see to help them out.
Before that, there are a few rumors knocking around about when it could be released, so let's take a look.
Cut to the chase
- What is it? Sony's next flagship tablet
- When is it out? We thought the end of March, but that didn't happen
- What will it cost? Likely around £500/$785/AU$980
Sony Xperia Z6 Tablet release date
Mobile World Congress 2016 has been and gone. We thought that Sony would be revealing a new tablet at the event in Barcelona, but instead we saw the Xperia X range as well as a few concept devices.
But there was no word of the new tablet, even though a Japanese store manager was previously been informed that the current three models of Xperia Z4 Tablet are being discontinued and a new product is set to take its place.
Sony previously confirmed to the manager that it will be in place by the end of March 2016, so an MWC release date would have made sense. Sony may instead decide to release the tablet at a different time, but so far there's no word on when that will be.
Sony Xperia Z6 Tablet specs and rumors
In terms of spec, not much is known about the Xperia Z6 Tablet. The Xperia Z4 Tablet was packed full of high-end spec but the rumors have been few and far between here. We may end up seeing a new tablet from Sony, but what it looks like and what spec it includes will be a big surprise to all of us.
Sony Xperia Z6 Tablet price
Android tablets aren't always expensive, but when Sony makes one it usually comes in at the higher end of the market. Right now you can buy the Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet for £499.99 or US$670 (about AU$972).
The tablet cost a little more than that on release, while the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact was a bit cheaper as well due to its smaller size.
We'd expect a high-end product from Sony for the Xperia Z6 Tablet, so it's likely to have an expensive price tag attached.

Didn't your mother ever tell you that nothing good ever happens after 2 in the morning? Well, in the city that never sleeps, the ONLY good things happen after the clock strikes midnight. There is no time for a Cinderella wannabe fairy tale here, go check out these alternatives to the basic NYC after hours hangouts.
Staying in the city this weekend? Not to fret, from the Illuminati Ball to the Super Craft Beer Festival in Brooklyn, there's plenty to do (but these are our favorites)!
Socialites behaving badly. Gotta love it. Today in "why did this rich person do that shit" news, Harry Brant, chic son of billionaire Peter Brant and supermodel Stephanie Seymour, skips out on a $27.85 cab fare and proceeds to run away from the scene - and then from the police. Oy vey.
Today is National Lipstick Day so pucker up and use some of these hacks to get the perfect look. From exfoliating to keeping your color smudge-less all night, click through for our pro tips!
Upon moving to New York, you quickly realize two things; you should never make eye contact with anyone, and everyone smokes. Whether this is a part of their street style look or they're just a businessman chain-smoking while barking into his phone, it is nearly impossible to walk down the street without someone filling the air with the familiar aroma of burning tobacco. It won't be long before you pick up the habit yourself, but choosing what to smoke is a key aspect of your city identity. Click through to find out what your cig of choice says about you.
As if we weren't already excited enough about the return of Gilmore Girls, more throwbacks are coming our way.
This proves it: the 2000s really ARE trending. Abercrombie and Fitch brought us back to our youth last night, in more ways than one. From the sliders and fries to the long line for jeans...to, yeah, a live performance by freakin' Third Eye Blind, we were back in Junior High, leading a semi-charmed kind of life indeed. FYI, it's 2016 and A&F is chic again - just ask one of the many cool kids who were in attendance at Gallow Green.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. No, that's not just something your mom told you when you were a kid. Eating a big full breakfast will reduce cravings throughout the day and literally jumpstart your body with sustainable energy...BUT you have to be eating the right stuff! Don't settle for a carb-packed bagel on-the-go or a Starbucks cake-pop; really help yourself out by having a good, gluten-free breakfast every single day. Here are some easy, delicious, and nutritious breakfast recipes - your body will thank you.
It's finally here! Lollapalooza will be taking over Grant Park this Thursday through Sunday to host one of the most highly anticipated music events of the summer! If you're not joining the crowds, we've got tons of other events you should definitely check out that are happening in Chicago this weekend.
Weekend in the city looking a little grim? Well we've got a great lineup out East! Party with Hannah Bronfman and Hamptons Mag or dance all day at the 2nd annual Surf Ball hosted by Tinder. Don't miss out!

User:Proxima Centauri
I'm Proxima Centauri. Astronomy is cool. I'm Proxima Centauri on several other wikis. I'm writing a cool story about Proxima Centauri.
The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun I'm interested in exobiology and helped writeIntelligent aliens. No. We can't be sure they exist though they are possible. I also tryed to develop ideas about How Life could Evolve in a Red Dwarf Star System because I'm trying to write hard science fiction. That means I'm trying to make The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun into something that's possible as far as early 21st Century scientists know and many astronomers believe that Red dwarf stars like Proxima Centauri could be habitable. That doesn't mean those aliens are likely there though.
Here I've tried to improve the article on Proxima Centauri as my first job. I've added material about the possibility of life there though other Wikipedians improved on what I wrote and it appears that serious scientists can't agree whether life can exist round Proxima Centauri or not. Space Aliens have not been found as yet. I suspect SETI is mistaken in looking only at stars where life could evolve. If advanced extraterrestrial technologies exist which can communicate with Earth these technologies are quite likely capable of Interstellar travel. Advanced technologies could colonize stars like for example Sirius A or B where life cannot evolve naturally, spacecraft could theoretically be in orbit round either star within the habitable zone.
I hope Wikipedians who know more astronomy than I do will check my edits of astronomy articles. Some serious scientists believe a life sutaining planet could exist round Proxima Centauri, see Alpha Centauri might harbour an 'Earth'. Proxima Centauri or Alpha Centauri C is part of that system. I'm interested in hard science fiction about aliens and also in serious scientific investgation about the possibility of extra terrestrial life.
Being a star is more exciting than using my real name.

Christianity is illogical. If god is defined broadly to include aliens with godlike power proving that god/gods don't exist is impossible. I'm a weak atheist or agnostic. I sometimes feel religious about the possibility of superior aliens but that doesn't break the scientific method as I never assume without evidence that such aliens are in contact with Earth or that Xenu did anything here.

For the Love of Clean
campaign, 2011Creative director: Matthew
Loyd; Advertising firm: Droga 5
Method spring hand wash,
Design firm: method
in-house creative team; Creative director/designer: Sally Clarke;
Production artist: Stephanie Lachowicz; Photographer: Steve Epstein,
Dreamfarm; Industrial design: Karim Rashid, Karim Rashid Studio
Recognized for revolutionizing the home-care market through
developing eco-friendly products as desirable for their beauty as
for their effectiveness and sustainability.
A decade ago, the cleaning product category was stagnant and ugly. Product design was focused on attracting buyers at the store; once a product came home, the assumption was that it would be hidden in a cabinet far from view. And any superlatives on the packaging highlighted a product's ability to clean—with no mention of its ecological cost, to people or to the planet. When Method arrived on shelves, that all changed.
Method got started in 2000 by Adam Lowry and Eric Ryan, childhood friends who were frustrated by the aesthetics and environmental impact of available cleaners. Their new company, they believed, would revolutionize the market. Every product would be designed thoughtfully and held to the highest standards of effectiveness, safety, sustainability, packaging and fragrance.
In 2001 Lowry and Ryan sold four cleaning sprays to a local grocery store in Burlingame, California. This small beginning was Method's entry into a big market for green, attractive cleaners. The following year the company hired Karim Rashid to design packaging and convinced Target to test Method's cleaning sprays and dish soaps in 90 of its stores. The products were an immediate hit, and seven months later, Target outlets across the nation were carrying the Method brand. Now that stylish, effective, eco-friendly cleaners were affordable and easily available, the notion of inclusive design reached a whole new category of buyers.
In the ten years since the company was founded, Method's line has expanded to include home cleaners for bathrooms, kitchens and floors; hand and body care; laundry detergent; and personal-care products safe for kids and babies. Each new addition follows Method's philosophy to make social and environmental change a key company objective.
"I was convinced that business is the most powerful agent for positive change on the planet. But it's not business as we know it today. It is fundamentally and profoundly different. It is business redesigned," says Lowry.
That attitude fuels every product Method launches. Whether it's dryer sheets using a plant-based oil instead of beef fat, or the Omop, a reusable mop that uses cloths made from 100-percent biodegradable corn-based plastic, each product is designed with a "cradle to cradle" ethos and a commitment to social justice—by forging partnerships with companies that have fair labor practices, for example.
Method's own description of itself says that "the way we achieve sustainability is by using one innovation to give us license for the next." That process begins by luring customers with aesthetics—sleek containers, chic typefaces, cheeky copy and a sophisticated color palette—and keeping them with products that work without causing harm. "More demand equals more opportunity for change," says the company's manifesto. And with significant yearly growth, Method continues to clean up by using beauty to benefit the earth.
The AIGA Corporate Leadership Award was established to recognize the role of perceptive and forward-thinking organizations.

A very bullish cup and handle pattern has developed over the last month in NCT....i am looking for a breakout above 5 dollars in the next 2 weeks..enjoy!
I don't know bu it looks like more on an reverse bullish cup and handle.But i am also (a bit) optimistic.I more think about a dividendstock Newcastle Investment is becoming. The price gains will be little but this will be compensated with the large dividend.If you look at the expected EPS for 2012 a big move to the north is not really possible i think.
Your observation is noted...but the breakout days of OCT 28 and NOV 8 nullify the inverted cup because they push into the base of the cup...i like my patterns to be a bit tighter....also...there are "GAPS" to be filled up to 5.50.....so for the short term i am bullish...and like i keep saying, the tight accumulation pattern we have been experiencing lately tells me that long term holders are investing in NCT for the "LONG HAUL".....its nice to see another chart reader on this board, keep up the good work!

Health & Pregnancy
Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia: Causes and Treatments
Once you begin to have seizures, you are considered to have eclampsia. This is a life-threatening situation for both you and your baby. During a seizure, you and your baby are at risk of being deprived of oxygen. In addition, the high blood pressure may cause the placenta to begin to separate from the wall of the uterus (called abruptio placentae). This can cause severe bleeding and death of the fetus and possibly the mother.
- Rapid weight gain
- Swelling of the arms or face
- Headache
- Changes in vision (blurred vision, seeing double, seeing spots of light)
- Dizziness, faintness
- Ringing in the ears
- Abdominal pain
- Decreased production of urine
- Nausea, vomiting
- Blood in vomit or urine
- Confusion
- Seizures
Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia: Causes and Treatments
Doctors are not sure exactly what causes pre-eclampsia or eclampsia.
Diagnostic and Test Procedures
During your pregnancy, your health-care provider will check your blood pressure at every prenatal visit. If your blood pressure increases greatly compared to before or early in pregnancy, or if your blood pressure numbers reach certain thresholds and you start having protein in your urine, then your health-care provider may diagnose you with pre-eclampsia. You can be diagnosed with this disorder without ever having had noticeable symptoms. Mild pre-eclampsia is diagnosed when your blood pressure is only a little elevated, while severe pre-eclampsia is diagnosed with very high blood pressures and other symptoms, such as headache, abdominal pain, blood and liver abnormalities, and having a large amount of protein in your urine.
Your health-care provider will want to perform urine tests and blood tests, too. These will reveal whether your kidneys and liver are functioning normally, as well as whether you are developing other complications of pre-eclampsia (such as low red blood cells or low platelets).
The only way to truly resolve pre-eclampsia and eclampsia is to deliver your baby and placenta. If you are close to your due date, your doctor may induce labor.
If you develop pre-eclampsia too early in your pregnancy for your baby to be delivered safely, then your health-care provider may try to treat you for a while, until the baby has developed enough to be delivered. Your provider will also order on a regular basis tests such as ultrasounds, non-stress testing, or biophysical profiles to check whether the baby is doing well. You probably will be put on bed rest and allowed to get up only to use the bathroom. You'll be asked to lie on your left side as much as possible, to take pressure off certain important blood vessels, allowing your kidneys and the placenta to benefit from greater blood flow. You may be given medication to lower your blood pressure to a safe range.

Dumbell: They WILL Electrify YOU!
For over a decade Dumbell has been reigning supreme as the underground international punk-rock collective out of Germany, by way of the American Midwest.
Formed in 1996 by Paul Grace Smith after departing from SONNY VINCENT'S SHOTGUN RATIONALE where he played with the likes of Cheetah Chrome (THE DEAD BOYS), Greg Norton (HUSKER DU), Richard Hell, Moe Tucker (VELVET UNDERGROUND) and Bob Stinson (THE REPLACEMENTS). Dumbell's roots & subsequent staying power largely stem from American soil.
Smith, originally from Cincinnati, was taking notes from THE MC5, THE STOOGES, and THE VELVET UNDERGROUND and doing his homework sharing stages with the likes of Zeke and the New Bomb Turks, and the Murder City Devils.
Taking cues from the godfathers of punk, Smith trudged across the muck and the mire of several continents and arrived in Germany with US garage rock dripping off his boots.
Smith has consistently toured Europe, Scandinavia, and Brazil playing in a handful of punk bands in addition to Dumbell, including the HYDROMATICS (featuring Detroit's legendary Scott Morgan and the HELLACOPTER'S golden boy Nicke) and the notorious NITWITZ of Amsterdam fame.
Hope and humor. Unpretentious and unimpressed. From the bottomless abyss and Dante's inferno.
Upon relocating to Detroit in 2012, the lineup consists of
Paul Grace Smith- Vocals and Guitar
Jamy Holliday (ex-mystery addicts, haunting souls,luxury pushers)- Guitar and Vocals
Craig Nichols (ex-Shesus, Guided By Voices, Rob The Bank, Swearing At Motorists) Drums
Derek Gullet (Dirty Socialites, The Professors) Bass and Vocals

I checkmarked the "Feed to Post" box so that rss feeds will appear in blog posts so that the posts will look like the website owner created them. However, when I checked the blog page, I see just the title of the rss feed post but not the content.
Could you help me fix this problem?
FYI: I added a category for rss feeds and placed the feeds in a sidebar widget and it works well. I LOVE this plugin.
I think the paid kudani plugin is trying to exploit your innovative efforts. You may want to offer a pro version of your plugin.

Scenario 1: Your team is up 28-23, though the other team has moved the ball quite efficiently all game. There is 10:56 left in the fourth quarter, and you have fourth and goal from the one yard line. A field goal puts you up by eight points; a touchdown probably ices the game. ("Checkmate," as Urban Meyer would say.) What do you do?
Scenario 2: Your team is up 21-17. The other team has the ball on roughly your two-yard line. Thirty-six seconds remain; they have just run the ball on second down so the clock is moving. They have no timeouts, but you have all three of yours. The other team has just quickly driven the field to get into this position. Question: do you call timeout to preserve some time for yourself in the chance that they score a touchdown on third or fourth down? Or do you leave the pressure on them to execute on those two downs over thirty-six seconds. What do you do?

FDA Orders Halt to Marketing of Oral Colchicine »
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today took action against companies that manufacture, distribute, and/or market unapproved single-ingredient oral colchicine, a medication commonly used for the daily prevention of gout, to treat acute gout f"...
Read the FDA Orders Halt to Marketing of Oral Colchicine article »
Mechanism Of Action
The mechanism by which COLCRYS exerts its beneficial effect in patients with FMF has not been fully elucidated; however, evidence suggests that colchicine may interfere with the intracellular assembly of the inflammasome complex present in neutrophils and monocytes that mediates activation of interleukin-1β. Additionally, colchicine disrupts cytoskeletal functions through inhibition of β-tubulin polymerization into microtubules and consequently prevents the activation, degranulation and migration of neutrophils thought to mediate some gout symptoms.
In healthy adults, COLCRYS is absorbed when given orally, reaching a mean Cmax of 2.5 ng/mL (range 1.1 to 4.4 ng/mL) in one to two hours (range 0.5 to three hours) after a single dose administered under fasting conditions.
Following oral administration of COLCRYS given as 1.8 mg colchicine over one hour to healthy, young adults under fasting conditions, colchicine appears to be readily absorbed, reaching mean maximum plasma concentrations of 6.2 ng/mL at a median 1.81 hours (range: 1.0 to 2.5 hours). Following administration of the nonrecommended high-dose regimen (4.8 mg over six hours), mean maximal plasma concentrations were 6.8 ng/mL, at a median 4.47 hours (range: 3.1 to 7.5 hours).
After 10 days on a regimen of 0.6 mg twice daily, peak concentrations are 3.1 to 3.6 ng/mL (range 1.6 to 6.0 ng/mL), occurring 1.3 to 1.4 hours post dose (range 0.5 to 3.0 hours). Mean pharmacokinetic parameter values in healthy adults are shown in Table 5.

In some subjects, secondary colchicine peaks are seen, occurring between three and 36 hours post dose and ranging from 39% to 155% of the height of the initial peak. These observations are attributed to intestinal secretion and reabsorption and/or biliary recirculation.
Absolute bioavailability is reported to be approximately 45%.
Administration of COLCRYS with food has no effect on the rate of colchicine absorption but does decrease the extent of colchicine by approximately 15%. This is without clinical significance.
The mean apparent volume of distribution in healthy young volunteers is approximately 5 to 8 L/kg.
Colchicine binding to serum protein is low, 39 ± 5%, primarily to albumin regardless of concentration.
Colchicine crosses the placenta (plasma levels in the fetus are reported to be approximately 15% of the maternal concentration). Colchicine also distributes into breast milk at concentrations similar to those found in the maternal serum [see Pregnancy and Nursing Mothers].
Colchicine is demethylated to two primary metabolites, 2-O-demethylcolchicine and 3-O-demethylcolchicine (2- and 3-DMC, respectively) and one minor metabolite, 10-O-demethylcolchicine (also known as colchiceine). In vitro studies using human liver microsomes have shown that CYP3A4 is involved in the metabolism of colchicine to 2-and 3-DMC. Plasma levels of these metabolites are minimal (less than 5% of parent drug).
In healthy volunteers (n=12), 40% to 65% of 1 mg orally administered colchicine was recovered unchanged in urine. Enterohepatic recirculation and biliary excretion are also postulated to play a role in colchicine elimination. Following multiple oral doses (0.6 mg twice daily), the mean elimination half-lives in young healthy volunteers (mean age 25 to 28 years of age) is 26.6 to 31.2 hours. Colchicine is a substrate of P-gp.
Extracorporeal Elimination
Colchicine is not removed by hemodialysis.
Special Populations
There is no difference between men and women in the pharmacokinetic disposition of colchicine.
Pediatric Patients: Pharmacokinetics of colchicine was not evaluated in pediatric patients.
Elderly: A published report described the pharmacokinetics of 1 mg oral colchicines tablet in four elderly women compared to six young healthy males. The mean age of the four elderly women was 83 years (range 75 to 93), mean weight was 47 kg (38 to 61 kg) and mean creatinine clearance was 46 mL/min (range 25 to 75 mL/min). Mean peak plasma levels and AUC of colchicine were two times higher in elderly subjects compared to young healthy males.
A pharmacokinetic study using a single oral dose of one 0.6 mg colchicine tablet was conducted in young healthy subjects (n=20) between the ages of 18 and 30 years and elderly subjects (n=18) between the ages of 60 and 70 years. Elderly subjects in this study had a median age of 62 years and a mean (±SD) age of 62.83 ± 2.83 years. A statistically significant difference in creatinine clearance (mean ± SD) was found between the two age groups (132.56 ± 23.16 mL/min for young vs. 87.02 ± 17.92 mL/min for elderly subjects, respectively). The following pharmacokinetic parameter values (mean ± SD) were observed for colchicine in the young and elderly subjects, respectively: AUC0-inf (ng/hr/mL) 22.39 ± 6.95 and 25.01 ± 6.92; Cmax (ng/mL) 2.61 ± 0.71 and 2.56 ± 0.97; Tmax (hr) 1.38 ± 0.42 and 1.25 ± 0.43; apparent elimination half-life (hr) 24.92 ± 5.34 and 30.06 ± 10.78; and clearance (mL/min) 0.0321 ± 0.0091 and 0.0292 ± 0.0071.
Clinical studies with colchicine for prophylaxis and treatment of gout flares and for treatment of FMF did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient with gout should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased renal function, concomitant disease or other drug therapy [see Dose Modification for Coadministration of Interacting Drugs and Geriatric Use].
Renal Impairment: Pharmacokinetics of colchicine in patients with mild and moderate renal impairment is not known. A published report described the disposition of colchicine (1 mg) in young adult men and women with FMF who had normal renal function or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis. Patients with end-stage renal disease had 75% lower colchicine clearance (0.17 vs. 0.73 L/hr/kg) and prolonged plasma elimination half-life (18.8 hours vs. 4.4 hours) as compared to subjects with FMF and normal renal function [see Dose Modification in Renal Impairment and Renal Impairment].
Hepatic Impairment: Published reports on the pharmacokinetics of IV colchicine in patients with severe chronic liver disease, as well as those with alcoholic or primary biliary cirrhosis and normal renal function suggest wide interpatient variability. In some subjects with mild to moderate cirrhosis, the clearance of colchicine is significantly reduced and plasma half-life prolonged compared to healthy subjects. In subjects with primary biliary cirrhosis, no consistent trends were noted [see Dose Modification in Hepatic Impairment and Hepatic Impairment]. No pharmacokinetic data are available for patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C).
Drug Interactions
In Vitro Drug Interactions: In vitro studies in human liver microsomes have shown that colchicine is not an inhibitor or inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 or CYP3A4 activity.
In Vivo Drug Interactions: The effects of coadministration of other drugs with COLCRYS on Cmax, AUC and Cmin are summarized in Table 6 (effect of other drugs on colchicine) and Table 7 (effect of colchicine on other drugs). For information regarding clinical recommendations, see Table 1 in Dose Modification for Coadministration of Interacting Drugs [see Dose Modification for Coadministration of Interacting Drugs].

Clinical Studies
The evidence for the efficacy of colchicine in patients with chronic gout is derived from the published literature. Two randomized clinical trials assessed the efficacy of colchicine 0.6 mg twice a day for the prophylaxis of gout flares in patients with gout initiating treatment with urate-lowering therapy. In both trials, treatment with colchicines decreased the frequency of gout flares.
The efficacy of a low-dosage regimen of oral colchicine (COLCRYS total dose 1.8 mg over one hour) for treatment of gout flares was assessed in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, one-week, dose-comparison study. Patients meeting American College of Rheumatology criteria for gout were randomly assigned to three groups: high-dose colchicine (1.2 mg, then 0.6 mg hourly × 6 hours [4.8 mg total]); low-dose colchicine (1.2 mg, then 0.6 mg in 1 hour [1.8 mg total] followed by five placebo doses hourly); or placebo (two capsules, then one capsule hourly × 6 hours). Patients took the first dose within 12 hours of the onset of the flare and recorded pain intensity (11-point Likert scale) and adverse events over 72 hours.
The efficacy of colchicine was measured based on response to treatment in the target joint, using patient self-assessment of pain at 24 hours following the time of first dose as recorded in the diary. A responder was one who achieved at least a 50% reduction in pain score at the 24 hour post dose assessment relative to the pretreatment score and did not use rescue medication prior to the actual time of 24 hour post dose assessment.
Rates of response were similar for the recommended low-dose treatment group (38%) and the nonrecommended high-dose group (33%) but were higher as compared to the placebo group (16%) as shown in Table 8.

The evidence for the efficacy of colchicine in patients with FMF is derived from the published literature. Three randomized, placebo-controlled studies were identified. The three placebo-controlled studies randomized a total of 48 adult patients diagnosed with FMF and reported similar efficacy endpoints as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria.
One of the studies randomized 15 patients with FMF to a six-month crossover study during which five patients discontinued due to study noncompliance. The 10 patients completing the study experienced five attacks over the course of 90 days while treated with colchicine compared to 59 attacks over the course of 90 days while treated with placebo. Similarly, the second study randomized 22 patients with FMF to a four-month crossover study during which nine patients discontinued due to lack of efficacy while receiving placebo or study noncompliance. The 13 patients completing the study experienced 18 attacks over the course of 60 days while treated with colchicines compared to 68 attacks over the course of 60 days while treated with placebo. The third study was discontinued after an interim analysis of six of the 11 patients enrolled had completed the study; results could not be confirmed.
Open-label experience with colchicine in adults and children with FMF is consistent with the randomized, controlled trial experience and was utilized to support information on the safety profile of colchicine and for dosing recommendations.

November 5, 2005 by Rob Newell
FLORENCE, Ala. - What's a single ounce worth to Sam Newby? About $350,000. The precious commodity in question is bass, and for the second time in his career, Sam Newby has won a major FLW Outdoors tournament by an ounce.
Saturday, the Pocola, Okla., pro brought in a limit of bass weighing 8 pounds, 3 ounces to snatch the 2005 EverStart Championship title from Gabe Bolivar of Ramona, Calif., by the thinnest margin possible. That single ounce ended up being worth a grand total of $140,000, which included a brand new Ranger boat and $100,000 cash.
It must have been deja vu for Newby, who pulled the same 1-ounce stunt in 2002 to win his first Wal-Mart FLW Tour event, the Forrest Wood Open on Lake Champlain. On the receiving end of that heartbreak was Dean Rojas of Grand Saline, Texas, another Western-born pro who watched in disbelief as Newby pocketed $210, 000 for such a narrow margin of victory.
Just like he did in 2002, Newby stalked his win from back in the pack until the final day when he moved in for the slip. During the four-day event, he moved from 33rd, to fifth, to third and then to the top.
"That's the way I like to do it," said Newby, whose winning style matches his cool, calm demeanor. "I don't like to lead until the clock has stopped."
Newby stuck with the same lure - a 1/2-ounce brown jig teamed with a Net Bait Paca Craw - all four days. His only adjustment was his location.
During the first two days, he fished outside grass lines in about 5 feet of water on the lower end of Pickwick Lake. During the final two days, he switched to pitching the jig on marina docks located in the same area.
"Over the last two days, the wind really positioned these fish for me," he said. "All of these docks had cross members across the fronts in about 5 feet of water. The fish would line up on the cross members that faced into the wind. I would intentionally pitch my bait over the cross member and hop it over the brace. Most of the bites came on the first hop after it cleared the brace."
This win now pushes Newby's FLW Outdoors career earnings to $521,531.
Painful second for Bolivar
Losing by 1 ounce was painful for Gabe Bolivar, but what added insult to injury was that he only brought three bass to the scales and lost several bass that would have put him over the top.
"It hurts, but it is what it is," Bolivar commented. "All I can do is move on to the next one. I feel that my best fishing days are still ahead of me and not behind me."
Bolivar fished riprap-lined banks in the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway leading out of Pickwick. He fished an unnamed, hand-carved Japanese crankbait (blue back, chartreuse sides) that featured a square bill.
"The bait runs about 5 feet deep on 12-pound-test line," he said. "Most of the fish came from the 2-foot range. But they were hard to pattern, it's like the fish would bite in waves. I'd fish for hours without a bite and then catch two or three in a row."
Bolivar picked up $40,000 for his runner-up finish.
Kennedy ends up third
EverStart Series frustrations continued for Steve Kennedy of Auburn, Ala., today. This marked Kennedy's eighth top-10 appearance in EverStarts without a win.
"I think I'm going to cry," joked Kennedy, who finished third in the event with a two-day total of 16 pounds, 2 ounces for $38,500. "I've finished in just about every position in the top 10 except first - I don't know what to do."
Kennedy caught a majority of his fish on a fickle pattern that entailed running bluff banks with a buzzbait. The biggest problem was not being able to connect with the fish in a consistent manner.
"What bothered me most about this tournament was not catching my bites," he said. "I was getting about 10 good bites per day, but I never really understood how to convert a majority of those bites. It's like they would just come up and slap it, or boil just under it, especially when the current was ripping.
"When the current was slow, they would be on the front sides of the current breaks, and they seemed to really eat it then. But when the current was ripping, they would get on the back sides of the breaks, where the eddies were, and they just wouldn't completely engulf the bait."
Newton takes fourth
Jonathan Newton of Rogersville, Ala., posted the biggest weight of the day, three bass weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces, but it left him in fourth place with a two-day total of 15 pounds worth $31,000.
"I have no regrets," said Newton. "I fished as well as I possibly could; it just wasn't my time. I just received $31,000 for finishing fourth, and that's awesome - that's what FLW is all about."
Newton sacrificed a majority of his fishing time in the EverStart Series Championship to lock into Wheeler Lake.
During the first three days, he pitched a 1/2-ounce black-blue Strike King jig on bluff ends in creeks on the lower end of Wheeler. Today, he went for the gusto by running all the way to Decatur Flats to fish a 3/8-ounce Strike King buzzbait tied to 25-pound line on grass flats.
"I only had about two hours to fish, and it almost worked out," Newton said. "I caught three bass on my first three casts; the first one was about a 5-pounder. I thought then I had a shot to win. I lost two other good ones after that and then never had another bite."
Green settles to fifth
Jerry Green of Justiceburg, Texas, finished fifth with a two-day total of 11 pounds, 5 ounces.
All four days, Green fished in Bay Springs Lake. He targeted steep points with jerkbaits and StrikeWorks jigs to catch some of the biggest spotted bass weighed in during the event.
"The points broke off pretty quick," he said. "I was keying on the steeper sides that were facing into the wind."
Green collected $24,000 for his finish.
Rest of the best
Rounding out the top 10 finishers in the 2005 EverStart Series Championship on Pickwick Lake:
6th: Andy Morgan of Dayton, Tenn., two-day total of 10-12, $24,000 in winnings
7th: Jack Gadlage of Benton, Ky., two-day total of 9-0, $17,000 in winnings
8th: Roy Hawk of Salt Lake City, two-day total of 8-11, 16,000 in winnings
9th: Dave Lefebre of Union City, Pa., two-day total of 7-3, $20,000 in winnings
10th: Toby Hartsell of Livingston, Texas, two-day total of 4-7, $8,000 in winnings

What exactly is CashCrate (CC) all about? Well, as far as working people are concerned, it's very much like various other online survey sites. There are companies that need opinions from consumers about products they are about to launch. Not all active consumers have access to a good platform for giving out those much needed opinions. That's where CC comes in to fill that void.
NOTE: CC isn't a regular marketing research firm, they only work together with actual market researching firms to help them conduct the online surveys.
One of the strongest points in favor of CC is that they've been around now for nearly 6 years. That's a pretty long time in the scammer world, because phoneys never last that long. It's a testament to their credibility.
Their website may remind a lot of people of Swagbucks, a sort of online rewards deal, where the members can earn money through various activities like playing games, shopping, and taking part in surveys.
How to Get Started on CashCrate
Getting started is pretty straightforward. I'll lead you through a few basic details of getting setup and registered:
Signing up is your first requirement. They are offering new sign-ups a $1.00 bonus as an incentive to sign up. On the registration form you will be asked some questions about yourself, your income, your family, and a few other things. How you answer these questions creates your profile and determines the type of surveys they believe would be best for you.
After jotting down all your details and clicking on the 'Join Now' button you'll be sent a confirmation email with a link to click on confirming it was you who signed up. Then you are ready to go and can begin answering surveys.
When you login you'll be shown what offers they have for you. Keep in mind that these surveys are never going to make you rich, but they can be a nice little extra income for something so easy to do.
When it comes to being paid, you'll have to reach their minimum amount of $20.00 before you can request a payout. You can have them send you a check that is processed by the 20th of the month after the month your earned it in. That means if you earn $250 in June and request your payout, the check will come in mid-July.
In June of 2012 they announced they were going to start offering PayPal payments to their members. This option is only available to 'Silver+' members (means you've cashed at least one of their checks).
You have 2 ways of reaching Silver+ status –
1. Refer 50 new active members.
2. Earn $500 or more taking surveys, performing paid searches, winning contests, watching videos, and things like that.
Take the highest paying surveys. The pay for surveys varies, so trying to select the ones that pay the most only makes good sense.
You'll also find that there will be times when you take a very short survey and receive a nice payout. Then you also have times when you sit through an hour-long survey with little reward. It all comes out in the wash.

'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales' Adds Another Legendary Rock Star to Its Cast
Posted on Thursday, March 24th, 2016 by Jacob Hall
Believe it or not, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is a movie that actually exists. The fifth film in Disney's lucrative franchise feels like it wrapped principal photography ages ago and it's still over a year away from from its May 26, 2017 release date. And aside from Johnny Depp and his dogs getting on the wrong side of Australian law, it's been a very quiet production. Other than an official synopsis, a year-old first look, and Disney quickly using this film to fill the old Star Wars: Episode 8 release date, we haven't seen much of anything.
Now, a new piece of news has washed ashore and it's certainly unexpected. Paul McCartney has joined the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

Sonos headed backstage with the NME Awards this year . Watch what unfolds when the camera's were rolling:
Sonos rocked out at the NME Awards 2013, toasting some of the greatest talent in music history. With performances from rock legends including mod father Paul Weller and Rolling Stones hero Ronnie Wood, who also collected the Best Live Band and Best Music Film on behalf his band mates, we knew the night would not be a quiet one!
Sonos was the sponsor of the much coveted Best British Band category for a second year running and Scottish superstars Biffy Clyro walked away with the iconic trophy, as well as opening up the night with a rendition of 'The Captain'.
Whilst comedian Russell Kane tried in vain to entertain an already rowdy crowd, the night hit a climax when the master of indie music and guitarist to The Smiths, Johnny Marr picked up the award for Godlike Genius. After accepting the prestigious gong Marr then proceeded to grace the stage with a six-song set including Smiths classics, 'How Soon Is Now?' and 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out', and was joined on stage by Ronnie Wood and The Vaccines' Justin Young during his performance.

The report began after an R8 buyer sent in a tip that his UK dealer claimed the sports car had received top Euro NCAP scores. However, it has never been tested by the organization. The BBC called 10 dealers inquiring about the A5 (pictured above), which also wasn't assessed. Nine said the coupe had been checked out, and six claimed it had a five-star rating – the best available.
Euro NCAP is funded by governments and motoring bodies, like the ADAC in Germany and the FIA. According to its website, the organization selects some of the most popular new models each year to crash test, and, the BBC claims, automakers can also pay to evaluate their cars. The last Audi tested was the A3 in 2012. The A6, Q3, A1, A4 and Q5 have also been tested since 2009, and they all received five-star ratings. However, the A5, A7, A8 and R8 have not been tested.
Audi UK responded to Autoblog's questions by emailing a prepared statement, saying that there was no "deliberate intent to mislead." The company is now reviewing its training procedures. This case demonstrates that it's probably best to double-check anything salespeople tell you, regardless of what they are selling. Scroll down to read the full response.
"Audi UK wishes to emphasise that there has not been any deliberate intent to mislead on the part of its customer-facing staff where the Euro NCAP safety test performance of the Audi model range is concerned.
Significant and sustained investment in active and passive safety technology across the Audi range has resulted in safety standards that do not call for embellishment or exaggeration by our customer-facing teams.
Audi vehicles are engineered to exceed international motor vehicle safety standards. The company fully supports Euro NCAP's efforts to improve vehicle safety.
Since 2009, six models from the twelve model line Audi range have been tested by Euro NCAP. The A1, A3, A4, A6, Q3 and Q5 have all achieved an overall five star rating. In addition, the A3 received four "Euro NCAP advanced" awards for its active safety systems.
Audi UK accepts that this investigation has brought to light a shortfall in its communication procedures where the NCAP safety ratings of its range are concerned. We also acknowledge that we did not adequately address this shortfall when it was brought to our attention by Mr Jenkins, and on both counts we apologise unreservedly.
We are now aware that our sales and customer service staff must be more conversant with the Euro NCAP safety test register and specifically the Audi models included on it.
We have already begun a comprehensive and far-reaching review of all of our communications and training procedures to ensure accuracy of information on test data provided to our customers.
Updates to all relevant areas of our internal product communication and information systems are already in progress, and our sales force training materials are being modified to ensure that the Euro NCAP testing programme and our involvement in it are given far greater prominence.
We must stress, however, that we believe there to be no errors relating to Euro NCAP performance in any current customer-facing or training texts published by Audi UK.

One of the (statistically speaking) all time great home run hitters abruptly retired today. Manny Ramirez, formerly if the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, LA Dodgers, and Chicago White Sox, and currently with the Tampa Bay Rays decided to hang up his cleats. Not because he felt he couldn't play anymore, but because he tested positive for a performance enhancing drugs in spring training and rather than face a 100 game suspension (for a 2nd violation), decided to just go away. A sad day for baseball in my opinion, and a final cowardly act by a man who decided to cheat again, got caught, and instead of facing the music went home. I hope the Rays don't have to pay him a dime.

SBIR Phase I: Development of a Selectively Current-permeable Osteogenic Pedicle Screw Surface for Vertebral Fusion

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a selectively direct-current permeable pedicle screw surface for use with patent-pending osteogenic spinal fusion instrumentation. New bone matrix more rapidly incorporates the bone graft material in the presence of an electric field to form a robust, biomechanically sound, intersegmental union. As the screw transmits current into the bone, peri-screw anchorage strength is also increased because of the local osteogenic effects. Pedicle screw loosening is a factor that contributes to clinically unacceptable failure rate (20-40%) associated with spinal fusion surgery. Based on preliminary work, the proposed instrumentation system has the potential to significantly improve outcomes by increasing fusion rate and robustness. Precise control of the electric field delivered through the pedicle screws is necessary to optimize the osteogenic capabilities. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is the development of commercially available osteogenic instrumentation with the potential to improve surgical outcomes, thus reducing the high incidence of additional surgery, chronic pain and cost associated with failed fusion. In future iterations, it could potentially be used to accelerate fracture repair of the skull, face, and other sites. Because bone repair mechanisms are similar across species, it may one day offer veterinary orthopedic surgeons a means to help their animal patients.

Thanks for posting this delicious mini "pie"! I just made it and it hit the spot! I sliced up the apples small and topped it with the pecans, butter and cinnamon mixture and made "cobbler"!
I am starting something close to whole 30 today. I feel as if I need to get back in the swing of primal eating. . . however, I cannot NOT have dairy. I am going to skip cheese and greek yogurt, but...
I love that your "go to" snack is a chicken leg. . . I do the same thing and people think I'm nuts. :)
Sounds like a great idea, I stopped drinking during the week at the beginning of summer. I find I enjoy a cocktail on Friday and sometimes on Saturday. . . it is easier to make good eating choices...
well stated!
Use dairy if you can tolerate it! I use organic heavy whipping cream in my coffee. I also whip the heavy cream and add a handful of blueberries as a treat about twice a week. I also fill jalapenos...
pumpkin muffins. . . the recipe is in the primal blueprint cookbook. (super yummy!)
This is a delicious beanless chili I found on easypaleo.com. Even the bean eaters liked it!
Food Diary: Paleo "insanely amazing" Chili - EasyPaleo
This bread was a big hit, even with the non-primals in my house.
4 bananas
4 eggs
1/2 cup almond butter (or other nut butter)
4 tbsps butter
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tbsp cinnamon...
Wow! very inspiring! I will give that cheesecake a go, I too would die without cheese!
#1 add three NEW primal recipes a month to my repertoire.
#2 No booze on a school night! (I teach kindergarten)
i did the same thing, i am back eating primal and feeling great just after 5 days. . .and it is nice to see the fat leaving already!
bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with garden veggie cream cheese!
I make little pizzas by using portobello mushrooms as the crust. . . easy and delicious!
YIKES! that sounds amazing!
Damn that sounds fantastic!
yeah, my sister has goats and she brought over some fresh goats milk. . . it was heaven! what type of ice cream maker do you have? i am looking into getting one, i have a kitchen aid so i thought...
my kids drink 2% organic milk. . . and water. :)
try double wrapping your tacos with romaine leaves. . . that helps with the mess. :)
hi girls, my name is heidi. i am 41, 5'8 and weigh 130ish. i have been primal for just over a year. i always felt bloated eating grains, i used to think i was lactose intolerant but later realized...

Hey check out the bulgina on that one!

Top Definition
The area of a woman (especially an oversized woman) where her vagina is expected to be, but instead is replaced by a giant bulge (usually due to access fat). There is no way to be sure if there is an actually vagina hidden under the bulgina or not.
Dana: Do you think our teacher is pregnant?
Tyler: No she just has a bulgina.
Dana: Oh.

A portly woman's vulva. Due to excessive fat tissue, the vulva appears to bulge out. Could also be referred to as a "front butt."
While exploring the intricate folds of Emily's bulgina, Nate found that it kinda looked like Jay Leno's chin.

This is the BEST place to get started in RC aircraft in the WNC area, PERIOD!!! Since Carolina Arts & Crafts left, we've needed a decent hobby shop, particularly for RC. I just found out about Hobbytown around six months ago. Two of the guys at the RC counter are tops for customer service, particularly the RC younger RC plane guy, Bob. They are willing to help out plenty for new planes, parts and accessories, even on planes I didn't buy there! I've also seen them work with other novice flyers, and they ork hard to get you the RIGHT stuff, not the most expensive- they are about growing the hobby and making people happy, not just making sales. I can't help but reiterate, BEST RC aircraft customer service in the area. Do your RC spending at Hobbytown!

I have shopped this store and found all the staff to be friendly and helpful. The prices are good compared to online and the selection is the best in the area. I think for the new store that they are, it is a great Local hobby shop. The "kid" that works there has to put up with a lot. I was there one time when a customer wanted to return two small items that he bought somewhere else in Florida, not even a hobbytown, and wanted to exchange them for something he needed. The young manager said he couldn't take them back and believe it or not the guy got ANGRY at him. What a J.A. that guy was. Anyhow, I recommend going there and trying them out.
First things first, you got to Pay to Play!!! Half of our " Hobby" is Building and Fixing our planes, trains, and automobiles. I make multiple trips to this store a week. I have made several large purchases and tons of smalls! Prices are very reasonable compared to other local shops that have come and gone. The Guys are always super friendly and willing to help. I even had a weekend issue, and was helped off site by one of the techs! What else to say other than these guys run a great Business. Thanks to Both Bob's, Patrick, C.J., T.J. and Cory!
