Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disorder that arises following the autoimmune destruction of insulin producing pancreatic ? cells. Previous studies, including many emanating from this P01 in previous years, have demonstrated that individuals with T1D display a number of immunological abnormalities (e.g., frequency and function of iNKT cells, maturation of dendritic cells, interactions between regulatory and effector T cells, cytokin production, etc.). However, the contribution of specific genes to this process as well as an informative description of the interactions between specialized cells and molecules of the innate and adaptive immune systems that lead to a loss of tolerance to ? cells and eventually T1D remains unclear. Thus, our goal in seeking renewal of this P01 is to elucidate the mechanisms by which genes;IFIH1,TYK2 (investigated in Project 1) and IL18RAP, TLR8 (Project 2) impart immunoregulatory abnormalities that result in aberrant iNKT development, inflammatory antigen presenting cells, expansion of autoreactive lymphocytes, and defective regulatory/effector mechanisms in T cells. These activities will collectively test our overall hypothesis that defects n these systems are key to engender the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic ? cells that result in T1D. Indeed, this P01 will examine this hypothesis through two separate but highly interactive Projects that share data, use innovative technologies, and assess samples from extremely valuable human subjects with or at various levels of risk for T1D. This latter notion includes analysis of tissue samples from the Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD), a heretofore effort unseen in research within the T1D community (i.e., availability of high quality pancreatic and lymphoid tissues from humans). These Projects will be supported by two Core facilities: Core A - Administrative Core;Core B - Biorepository, Immunology and Pathology Core. If successful, these efforts could dramatically improve prospects for the development of an effective therapeutic capable of preventing and/or reversing T1D, as well as to provide novel biomarkers for disease susceptibility and autoimmune activity associated with the disease.
The successful completion of these studies will be beneficial to improving our understanding of events critical to the natural history of progression to T1D;identify biomarkers capable of serving as screening tools for pathogenic and therapeutic based efforts for the disorder;and potentially, to uncover immunotherapies capable of preventing or reversing the disease. Project 1: Interferon ?/? in Type 1 Diabetes Pathogenesis Project Leader (PL): Clare-Salzler, Michael Description (as provided by applicant): Avoidance of autoimmunity relies on carefully regulated and appropriate interplay between genetics, the environment, and components of both the innate and adaptive (acquired) immune systems;a central hypothesis to this P01. Given the innate immune system's role in monitoring the microbiologic and biochemical environments, and providing rapid protective acquired immune responses, it is well positioned to break tolerance in response to environmental signals. Dendritic cells [DC] provide this linkage, in part, through pattern recognition receptors [e.g., toll like receptors [TLR], and retinoic acid-induced gene 1-like-receptors [RLR] that "detect" bacterial/viral/biochemical and "self" molecular signatures leading to DC activation and inflammation. DC activation by TLR/RLR results in type 1 interferons [IFN?/?] that drive DC maturation, Th1, antibody, and CTL responses. Project 1 poses an interdigitating hypothesis;the conjoint defects in type 1 IFN biology, hyperactive IFN?/? responses and increased plasmacytoid DC (PDC)/IFN?/? production in the islet microenvironment play a critical role in T1D pathogenesis. These defects, investigated with Project 2, promote;a) loss of ? cell function, b) immunogenic DC, c) pro-inflammatory macrophages [MF], d) Th1 responses, e) enhanced CTL and ? cell killing and f) downgrading of protective Treg and iNKT cell responses. As a corollary, the defects reach full potential when PDC or other immune cells are activated by exogenous or endogenous factors that stimulate IFN?/? production, linking environment and immunogenetics. In addition, a major emphasis will be to evaluate the effect of specific candidate genotypes, (IFIH1,Tyk2) identified in genome wide association studies (GWAS) and affecting IFN?/? biology, on specific immune cell function and ? cell function. We believe Project 1 finds marked significance and innovation through the integrative approach afforded by the P01 mechanism (with Project 2), and quite importantly, our ability to explore lymphoid and pancreatic tissues from the nPOD program.
In sum, patients with type 1 diabetes, as well as those at risk for developing the disease, would benefit from this translational research effort. In addition, Project 1 holds the promise of providing detailed mechanistic information on disease pathogenesis of human T1D, as well as novel therapeutics for preventing and/or reversing the disorder.

About Ghost in the Machine
Originally formed in the late '80s under the name of Clinch, this Danish improvising group became not only for its own music but for its interesting collaborations with a variety of other improvisers, particularly the British saxophonist Evan Parker. The use of a series of dashes in between the words in the group's name seems to be, besides the obvious issue of musical genres, the only thing that differentiates this ensemble from a heavy metal band, Ghost-in-the-Machine whose name seems to be culled from the same polter-grist. Is it the relative obscurity of both groups that makes such a thing possible legally, or should entrepreneurs begin planning a new ensemble to be called the-Rolling-Stones?
The original Clinch trio was begun by the pianist Christer Irgens-Møller, bassist Peter Friis Nielsen and drummer Claus Boje in 1981. This group released an album entitled Fri Frei Libre in 1986 on the Olufsen label. A switch in drummers occurred the following year, with Pere Oliver Jorgens the new man behind the drum kit. Beginning in 1988, the group began working with saxophonist John Tchicai, who made a reputation for himself on the American free jazz scene of the '60s, but was nonetheless actually of Danish descent. Members of the group had also worked with Tchicai in some of his various projects. The group toured with him in Finland, Italy, and Germany, and in 1989 released a collaborative record, again on the Olufsen label and accurately titled Tchicai/Clinch. At this time, the group was still using its original name, but the arrival of a new decade brought in the new identity of Ghost-in-the-Machine, as well as a new series of collaborations with the almost out of control German saxophonist Peter Brotzmann, Danish guitarist Pierre Dorge, and British trombonist Paul Rutherford, an old mate of Parker's and the creator of one of the great solo trombone albums, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgiouse on the Emanem label. And of course there were the performances with Parker himself, a busy and prolific performer who works his unique improvising style into a wide variety of settings. Even before the Ghost band was to meet up with Parker an additional collaborative aspect was added to the outing with the guest presence of Martin Klapper. This Czech musician, who had relocated to Copenhagen in the early '90s, brings an even further abstract aspect to the proceedings as his instrumental arsenal consists totally of invented gadgets, toy instruments, and out and out toys. Adding saxophonist T.S. Hoeg to the group in 1995, the members were fortunate enough to be invited to take part in a large-scale tour of both their own country and Germany in which they frequently performed for schools. The following year, the Leo compact disc Evan Parker With Ghost-in-the-Machine was released, featuring material that had been recorded in 1993 both live and in the studio in Copenhagen. A second CD with the same lineup of players was recorded at the 1998 Copenhagen International Experimental Festival and released in the same year on the Ninth World Music label. (Saxophonist Hoeg performs on neither recording.)
Christer Irgens-Møller also works as a soloist, sometimes utilizing vocals, as well as in other combinations of musicians. He has performed with percussionists such as Claus Van Bebber and Jindrich Biskup. In duo with fellow bandmember Peter Friis Nielsen, he has also created the CD MeYou, released by Olufsen in 1994. Nielsen has also worked with Kenneth Knudsen, a Danish keyboard player, as well as drummer Marilyn Mazur, and several prominent free jazz figures, drummer Sunny Murray and multi-instrumentalist Don Cherry. Peter Oliver Jorgens shares a similar background with free jazz, having performed with tenor saxophonist Frank Lowe, once one of that genre's most ferocious performers. Jorgens has also played on his own with vocalist and percussionist David Moss and the previously mentioned Peter Brotzmann. In the late '90s, Jorgens began specializing in the musical worlds of ballet and dance theater. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, Rovi

Slow PunctureLast updated at 12:01AM, March 26 2016
The government is neglecting its promises to cyclists
Drivers who stop in cycle boxes at traffic lights face a clampdown in London under plans to step up enforcement of the £60 fine and three penalty points carried by the offence.
It is illegal for a motorist to cross the advanced stop lines (ASLs) that surround cycle boxes at traffic lights and Boris Johnson's cycling commissioner has called for powers to use CCTV to punish drivers who ignore them.
A survey by the Institute of Advanced Motorists last year found that almost a third of drivers admit to crossing regularly into the space designed to keep cyclists safe and give them a headstart at dangerous junctions.
Such offences are currently policed by the Metropolitan Police, but a House of Commons inquiry into cycle safety heard that many police forces claim not to have the resources to protect cycle lanes and boxes, according to a Local Government Association spokesman.
Andrew Gilligan, the Mayor of London's cycling commissioner, told the Evening Standard that Transport for London was "pretty close" to securing a deal that would decriminalise these offences and allow TfL to take responsibility for enforcing them.
He said: "The purpose of ASLs and mandatory [cycle] lanes is to give cyclists protected space.
"We know how many cars go into advance stop boxes — probably more than 50 per cent of the time. Maybe they don't known they are meant to stay out of them.
"At present, you have to have a police officer standing at the junction or in a police car. What we can do is stick a camera up and do automatic enforcement. That will sort out the problem."
Drivers who drive in mandatory bike lanes — marked by a solid white line — would face fines of £30 under the plans.
Campaigners have called for cycle boxes and bike lanes to be treated by drivers in the same way as yellow boxes and bus lanes — as protected spaces that must not be entered by motorists.
Last year 122 cyclists were killed on Britain's roads, while research showed that 68 per cent of crashes between motorists and cyclists were the fault of the motorist.

I have had this issue for the past month or so. I am on IE8.
When exiting a browser session (in which I do not delete or clear the cookies/cache), the local zip code setting for both the weather or the local news is not saved. I've changed it back literally countless times to my local zip code (Exton), but every time I exit the browser session and re-enter, it defaults to either Warminster (18974) or Philadelphia (19103). (Could not even begin to speculate why it comes up with 2 different incorrect defaults.)
After resetting to Exton, the setting remains, even after visiting other websites and returning to the Comcast home page (which I have set to my default home page as well). The zip code setting only gets erased when you exit the browser session.
I have not changed anything on my PC settings or habits. This zip code retaining the setting did not used to be a problem.
I've seen at least a few similar threads describing essentially the same issue, one of which did not allow replies, and a couple of which were marked "resolved". The problem is not resolved.
Is there going to be any real solution to this issue, other than "trying a different browser"? Thanks.
I concur, this has to be a comcast problem. Same issue and I do not clear cache or cookies upon exiting. I can go to other sites and set my zip code , exit the browser , and restart without losing setings for those sites. Comcast apparently doesn't realize how big an issue this is. I've changed my homepage from comcast because i am tired of re-setting my zip code just so I can see my local news and events.

A former bookkeeper of Brookfield-based Mailwaukee Mailing Equipment is accused of using a company credit card to draw cash advances and make unauthorized purchases totaling nearly $40,000 to fund her drug habit, according to a criminal complaint.
Nicole D. Buchert, 36, of West Allis has been charged with theft in a business setting totaling more than $10,000, identity theft and fraudulent use of a credit card in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
She faces a maximum sentence of 26 years in prison if convicted on all three felony counts.
According to the criminal complaint:
Buchert obtained a company credit card in her name while she worked as a bookkeeper for Mailwaukee Mailing Equipment, 17020 Pheasant Drive, in August, 2010.
Between August and February, Buchert racked up $38,501 in unauthorized cash advances and purchases on the account.
She told police she was addicted to cocaine and other drugs and was "stressed out" after borrowing money from friends.
Buchert told officers she used the card to fill people's cars with gasoline in exchange for drugs and purchased $100 gift cards to sell for $50 in order to buy drugs.
She also made 17 cash advances on the account totaling nearly $12,000.
Donald Goyette, owner and general manager of Mailwaukee Mailing Equipment, told police in February that Buchert had made the unauthorized transactions.
He said she was authorized to use the account to obtain records, but she wasn't authorized to obtain a company credit card with her name on it.
Buchert is scheduled to make an initial court appearance on the charges Aug. 31.

text: Anthony Weiner's New York mayoral campaign stuttered over the weekend, with campaign manager Danny Kedem resigning, and many prominent national Democrats calling for the ex-congressman to pull out of the race. Weiner said he'd always expected a "tough campaign," and he insisted he wouldn't quit. Former Obama aide David Axelrod said, "At this point, it's absurd. He is not going to be the next mayor. ... It's time for him to go away and let New York have its mayor's race."

Bought this for the zombies
I'm a huge zombie game fan from WaW and BO1. I'm not pleased with the sequel's version of that part of the game. I like a complex objective in a map, but requiring that you have four people makes the execution much more difficult. If they had accounted for people that don't know other players or don't want to waste hours and hours finding a decent PUG and included a single player/local 2-player co-op alternative, I would be much more satisfied with the game. Note: I do not play multi-player online and I have not played the campaign.

Before they reach the age of 20, 30 percent of teenage girls in the U.S. get pregnant at least once, according to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy on the StayTeen.org website. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that pregnant teens between the ages of 15 to 19 had a live birth rate of 3 percent in 2011. Because its effects on a young person's life and others, the CDC states that teen pregnancy is one of its public health priorities.
Financial Implications
On average, a healthy baby's expenses during his first year of life amount to $10,158, according to the Mississippi Department of Human Services. This can be a large financial burden for a teen and her family, especially if the baby's father doesn't provide any economic support. A teen parent may need to secure employment to help cover the costs of a new baby, which may hinder the young parent's educational success. Teen pregnancies and childbirth also affect the public as their occurrence cost U.S. taxpayers an extra $11 billion in 2008 for increases in foster care and health care rates, and lost tax revenue.
Social Implications
When a teen becomes pregnant and has a child, she may no longer be able to participate in the social activities that people her age enjoy. She may miss opportunities to hang out with her friends, go on dates or go to school events. Teens who have an unplanned child are more likely to have a strained or unstable relationship than those who do not, according to the National Campaign's article "Unplanned Pregnancy." If a teen doesn't stay home after giving birth, she is 46 percent more likely to have one or more cohabitating relationship changes within the first five years of her child's life.
Educational Implications
Teen parents make up a large percentage of the high school dropouts in the U.S., according to the CDC. Furthermore, only about 50 percent of teen mothers get a high school diploma by the age of 22. Consequently, some school districts seek the funds to offer childcare programs and alternative education programs for teen parents in the high schools to help reduce its dropout rates. A teen may be afraid that she can't make up the schoolwork that she missed while pregnant or caring for her newborn, so she gives up on her education instead of seeking alternative options. The financial burdens that come with having a baby may also make a teen parent feel as if earning an income is more important than finishing high school.
Impact on a Child's Life
When a child is the result of an unwanted pregnancy, he is more likely to have more cognitive deficiencies than a child who is the result of an intended pregnancy, according to the National Campaign. This type of developmental delay may be due to teen mothers possibly not receiving adequate prenatal care or taking parenting classes. Teens are more likely to have preterm deliveries or babies with low birth weights, which may also lead to different developmental delays in a child. According to StayTeen.org, the daughters of teen mothers are three more likely to become teen parents and their sons are two times more likely to go to prison.

DALLAS – The decision to dump Lamar Odom didn't just lift a black cloud from the Dallas Mavericks' locker room. It also helped unleash Vince Carter.
Carter's role changed when the Mavs had to adjust the rotation to make up for Odom's absence. With Shawn Marion playing the vast majority of the minutes at power forward when Dirk Nowitzki rests, as was the case during the Mavs' title run, Carter now comes off the bench and plays almost solely small forward.
"It gives us another attacker out there at the small forward position," coach Rick Carlisle said, "so that's a plus."
That's putting it mildly based on Carter's recent production. He has averaged 13.3 points on 46.8 percent shooting in the last eight games, dating to the night in Memphis when Mark Cuban made the decision to get rid of Odom after their heated halftime conversation. Carter has put up an average of 20 points in the Mavs' last three games, including scoring all of his team-high 19 points in the second half of Friday's 104-94 win over the Golden State Warriors.
There were long stretches after the All-Star break when it looked like there wasn't much life left in Carter's 35-year-old legs. That's no longer a concern, not after watching Carter have a handful of highlight-reel, high-above-the-rim flashbacks to vintage Vinsanity this week.
"I've taken the time to really take care of myself to make sure I'm ready and make sure I'm healthy," Carter said. "I didn't want to not be ready for this moment -- and that's the playoffs. Just make sure I'm in my rhythm and make sure my body is feeling good. And I feel great."
He looks great in his new role, which allows the 20,000-plus-point career scorer to utilize his quickness against bigger defenders. Carter's 3-point range also spaces the floor for Jason Terry and Nowitzki to work when they're on the floor with him.
"Like I told them from the beginning, I really don't care what my role is, where he puts me on the floor, how he puts me in the game," said Carter, an eight-time All-Star whose sole goal at this point of his career is to earn his first championship ring. "Just know when it's my turn, I'm going to come in and be ready to play. I've been that way, and I've just tried to step my aggression up just a little more."
Carter adds that he's not trying to step on any toes, but that's far from an issue. The Mavs, who rank in the NBA's bottom third in offensive efficiency, need him to be in attack mode.
Carlisle has emphasized to Carter that being aggressive is a major part of his job description. It isn't a coincidence that the Mavs have scored 100 points in four straight games -- for just the second time this season -- and hit triple digits in six of the last seven games.
"He's one of our most versatile players, and the fact that he attacks the rim is important for us because we don't have a lot of guys that get in the paint that well," said big man Brendan Haywood, who played at North Carolina with Carter way back when. "The timing is great. This is the time of the year that you want guys to be peaking, and it seems like that's what he's doing right now."
Consider that a side benefit to sending Odom home to Los Angeles.

This review is from: Rosewill RNX-AC1200UBE2 - Dual Band Wireless AC1200 Adapter - IEEE 802.11AC a / b / g / n, Up to 867 Mbps (5.0 GHz) + 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) Wi-Fi Data Rates, USB 3.0 Interface
Pros: + Strong signal strength at a long range
+ Stable connection without periodic disconnects
+ Fast quality WiFi with USB3
+ "Relatively easy" to set up compared to alternative of setting up a WiFi bridge. (See more on this point later)
Cons: - "Relatively easy" is not always easy. Okay, so the drivers are not included on Windows 8 install disc, this is troublesome but not a big deal if you are prepared.
- Last week I had a hassle upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1. I needed a fresh install of Windows on my OS drive, so after installing this adapter driver to update Windows 8, I was thought I was prepared to upgrade to windows 8.1. Upon restart this adapter driver caused an immediate crash with the unfortunate Windows ;( blue screen stating that there was some driver conflict and it would restore my system back to Windows 8. It took me a little while to identify the driver conflict as coming from this hardware, but it was confirmed after being able to upgrade by network cable with the adapter unplugged. Then resulting an immediate crash in Windows 8.1 after plugging this device in. To solve the problem I had to uninstall the adapter while unplugged and then run the very same install setup again one last time in Windows 8.1. Now it works. So be prepared for some extra steps when upgrading and you won't have the hassle I experienced.
- I have a small pet peeve about having a second WiFi icon running in my task bar. It's kind of redundant for me since I don't use the function such as switching from "station" to "access point mode". So that annoys me since so many other hardware and software seems to push having additional services running in the background. I don't want it thank you. It would be nice if the "setup" install program offered an option not to have the additional "Rosewill wireless LAN Utility" installed, that would be courteous.
Other Thoughts: I am so happy with this purchase and consider it money well spent! This solved my range problems connecting to my distant home network
This was way simpler than my previous solution of setting up a WiFi bridge and the connection it provides me is much more stable than the results I was able to achieve with the hardware I attempted to use for dd-wrt bridge.
This review is from: ECS A970M-A DELUXE v1.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: This review is an update! I bought this cheap back in January 2013. Now, 2 years later while running Overclocked 2133Mhz memory, the box I put together is still rock solid stable. No news is good news, and i have had zero problems so far.
This is the hardware setup I matched:
FX -6300 Vishera six core processor
8GB 2133Mhz Kingston HyperX Memory
HD 7950 Radeon HIS IceQ Boost
128GB SSD Crucial M4
2TB Seagate HD
Cool Master Hyper EVO 212 -CPU Cooler
If you go Vishera, make sure you get a processor under 140 watts. Also you will need BIOS version 11/09/12 or newer for Vishera.
Cons: Out of Stock - It has been difficult to get in the past 2 years. I was shopping for this board on at least two specific occasions were it wasn't available.
Synergy- The price of the FX Vishera processors has not changed much in these last 2 years. This is not specifically a problem about this motherboard. What I'm saying is the value of having a motherboard that supported a Vishera CPU seemed to have more bang for the buck back in 2013.

Other Thoughts: In my original review I made a typo calling it a "790 board" while this is in fact a "970 board". That error has haunted me since the motherboard has been so good to me, while my review might have possibly added to consumer confusion.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Silverstone FF143B 140mm Ultra Fine Fan Filter with Magnet (Black)
Pros: it sticks onto my case quiet nicely
easy to take off to clean
filters dust out
Cons: The holes presumably are to allow for space for the screws. However for my Corsair r200 case the holes a not quite big enough to allow for clearance because it has these rubber vibration gromits for the fans fan scews which have a slightly wider girth. Because of this issue for my case I use negative pressure fans and place these screens on the intakes vents to filter dust.
The downside to ussing negative pressure pull is that I would need to cover all the holes to filter everything...
For most cases with regular screws, you should be able to place it it over an intake fan vent without any gaps which would be a better application for these filters.
Other Thoughts: I'm not sure how much this helps but I rather clean the dust from the outside of the case rather than the inside on the components.READ FULL REVIEW

Alarming news out of Philadelphia Eagles training camp Saturday, as wide receiver Jeremy Maclin was carted off the practice field with an injury to his right knee. Eyewitness accounts painted a grim picture of Maclin in serious pain and leaving with a towel covering his face. After practice, the Eagles said only that Maclin had a right knee injury and was still being evaluated.
Obviously, we'll wait for further word on this before making any declarations about its impact on the Eagles' upcoming season. But for Maclin's sake, you have to hope the news isn't as bad as the reports from the scene indicate it could be. Maclin is entering the final year of his contract and spoke just recently about how much he's looking forward to using this year to prove his worth as a top NFL receiver in Chip Kelly's new high-octane offense. A major leg injury would obviously cost him the chance to cash in big as a free agent next offseason.
This is why you see players hold out for new contracts when they have leverage, as the New York Giants' Victor Cruz did by skipping offseason workouts this spring. Cruz's fellow star Giants receiver, Hakeem Nicks, has opted for the opposite approach and will enter the 2013 season with one year left on his deal and hoping to play better than he did in 2012 so as to maximize his value. You can see why Nicks chooses to handle it this way off his injury-plagued 2012, but this news on Maclin, no matter how it turns out, is a reminder of the risk that comes with that strategy.

New Poly - Feel like our relationship has ended

Some people feel that they are "wired" poly. Other people find themselves in poly situations and find that they do just fine (although they were also "just fine" in a monogamous situation) - "situational" poly? For myself the idea that you would find "the one" and magically never be interested romantically in anyone ever again always seemed rather inane (but that's just ME - I never was looking for "the one" to start with).

Kudos! This part is very good - sounds like you have been very supportive of her bisexuality and her polyness.

Ahhh - Here's the rub. Sounds like she is pushing you to be poly too so she doesn't feel guilty for "having her cake and eating it too". You have the right to explore your own feelings on the subject and decide what is right for you personally. You gave her full rein to explore herself - she really needs to do the same. She gave you the "freedom" to see other women (which is fair and right) - that is really good enough - it is up to you to decide what to do with that "freedom."
My husband has had that "freedom" for the past 20 years and never felt particularly inclined to act upon that. That's okay - it's there if he ever wants to use it. I have to trust that he makes his choices for his own reasons - he is a grown-up. (We've talked about this - he is not
the idea - if the perfect girl happened to walk into the house he wouldn't say "no" - he just has zero interest in seeking someone out.)
My boyfriend has also had that "freedom" for as long as we have been together. I was urging him to find a "real" girlfriend(i.e. not married - someone that he could build an independent future with). I finally realized (not too long ago, in fact) that the "freedom" also must include the freedom to NOT pursue other relationships if he doesn't feel so inclined. I can choose to invite him into my life - he can choose to accept or decline that invitation. I can invite him to pursue other women - he can choose to do that or not.

OK. So these might be argument that you can be poly if you choose. You can take interest in other women, you see other people as potential partners.
The question is - Is this because you feel that your relationship with your partner is over? (In which case you might be a mono who is looking for the partner who comes "after") Or do you see these people as potential partners "in addition" to your current partner? (potentially poly)
Remember that just because you see these people in a new light (potential partners) does not mean that you have to act on that - there is no deadline here. I found that when I got together with Dude, my eyes were opened (again) to the myriad of possibilities. I had gotten used to my rut and forgotten (temporarily) that the world was full of interesting people. I started REALLY LOOKING at people. Still haven't felt the need to act on that in any way.

There are actually two problems that I see here:
1.) relationship with partner - WHY do you feel it is over? Because you are each seeing other people? Because you feel that a connection that was there is gone? This, to me, is a problem independent of the whole poly question. Do you two need to work on your own relationship? (I think yes) Do you need to set aside time each week for just the two of you reconnect? Do you need to go to couples counselling?
2.) relationship with self - WHY do you hate yourself? Because you find that you can develop an interest in women other than your partner? Is this some societal conditioning kicking in? (just askin'
) From what you have posted you have done nothing wrong - you supported your partner in her bisexuality and polyness. You sought the attentions of other women AFTER she encouraged you to. You were upfront with those women (from what I can see - since she is "like-minded") about the situation. So where is this coming from?
Originally Posted by

Sex. See, thing is, everyone has different stuff that they deal with about sex. I, personally, am fine with sex that doesn't have all that emotional BS attached to it - I like it! (Even with my husband - I don't need/want every encounter to be dripping with "significance" - too much pressure...). Maybe she like the uninhibited feeling of just being able to be "greedy." (I may be projecting here...
- but I do like "first start meeting someone" sex - you, obviously, feel differently)
So what do you think is missing
for you
? What does she think makes it better
for her
? Can some compromise be reached? "Significant sex" on some instances, "just fucking" in others...?

Welcome to the roller-coaster! You are not pathetic, there is nothing wrong with you - you are human. We experience things, we feel things, we get confused. There is no "most men" - there is a stereotype that is irrelevant. You are not "most men" - you are an individual person making his way along his unique path through life. Sometimes the road gets bumpy.

Actual advise: SLOW DOWN. Digest. Process.
You don't have to be poly if you don't want to. You can be poly and not act on it for a while. You do not need to try to do things in a certain way to make your partner more comfortable if it makes you uncomfortable. You can support her while not pursuing the same path - you are different people, you may come to the same destination by a different road - it's OK.
Just my (really long) two cents...
Me: poly bi female, in an "open-but-not-looking" V-plus with -
MrS: hetero polyflexible male, live-in husband (24+ yrs)
Dude: hetero poly male, live-in boyfriend (5+ yrs) and MrS's BFF
SLeW: platonic girlfriend and BFF
Lotus: "it's complicated"
+ "others" = FBs, FWBs, lover-friends, platonic G/BFs, boytoys, etc.

The Powerful Antitakeover Force of Staggered Boards: Theory, Evidence and Policy

John C. Coates, IV

NBER Working Paper No. w8974
Staggered boards, which a majority of public companies now have, provide a powerful antitakeover defense, stronger than is commonly recognized. They provide antitakeover protection both by (i) forcing any hostile bidder, no matter when it emerges, to wait at least one year to gain control of the board and (ii) requiring such a bidder to win two elections far apart in time rather than a one-time referendum on its offer. Using a new data set of hostile bids in the five-year period 1996-2000, we find that not a single hostile bid won a ballot box victory against an 'effective' staggered board (ESB). We also find that an ESB nearly doubled the odds of remaining independent for an average target in our data set, from 34% to 61%, halved the odds that a first bidder would be successful, from 34% to 14%, and reduced the odds of a sale to a white knight, from 32% to 25%. Furthermore, we find that the shareholders of targets that remained independent were made worse off compared with accepting the bid and that ESBs did not provide sufficient countervailing benefits in terms of increased premiums to offset the costs of remaining independent. Overall, we estimate that, in the period studied, ESBs reduced the returns of shareholders of hostile bid targets on the order of 8-10%. Finally, we show that most staggered boards were adopted before the developments in takeover doctrine that made ESBs such a potent defense.
