Precautions | Phospho-RPS6KA3(S369) Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | RPS6KA3 |
Synonyms | ISPK1, MAPKAPK1B, RSK2 |
Function | Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts downstream of ERK (MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1) signaling and mediates mitogenic and stress-induced activation of the transcription factors CREB1, ETV1/ER81 and NR4A1/NUR77, regulates translation through RPS6 and EIF4B phosphorylation, and mediates cellular proliferation, survival, and differentiation by modulating mTOR signaling and repressing pro-apoptotic function of BAD and DAPK1. In fibroblast, is required for EGF-stimulated phosphorylation of CREB1 and histone H3 at 'Ser-10', which results in the subsequent transcriptional activation of several immediate-early genes. In response to mitogenic stimulation (EGF and PMA), phosphorylates and activates NR4A1/NUR77 and ETV1/ER81 transcription factors and the cofactor CREBBP. Upon insulin-derived signal, acts indirectly on the transcription regulation of several genes by phosphorylating GSK3B at 'Ser-9' and inhibiting its activity. Phosphorylates RPS6 in response to serum or EGF via an mTOR- independent mechanism and promotes translation initiation by facilitating assembly of the preinitiation complex. In response to insulin, phosphorylates EIF4B, enhancing EIF4B affinity for the EIF3 complex and stimulating cap-dependent translation. Is involved in the mTOR nutrient-sensing pathway by directly phosphorylating TSC2 at 'Ser-1798', which potently inhibits TSC2 ability to suppress mTOR signaling, and mediates phosphorylation of RPTOR, which regulates mTORC1 activity and may promote rapamycin-sensitive signaling independently of the PI3K/AKT pathway. Mediates cell survival by phosphorylating the pro- apoptotic proteins BAD and DAPK1 and suppressing their pro- apoptotic function. Promotes the survival of hepatic stellate cells by phosphorylating CEBPB in response to the hepatotoxin carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Is involved in cell cycle regulation by phosphorylating the CDK inhibitor CDKN1B, which promotes CDKN1B association with 14-3-3 proteins and prevents its translocation to the nucleus and inhibition of G1 progression. In LPS-stimulated dendritic cells, is involved in TLR4-induced macropinocytosis, and in myeloma cells, acts as effector of FGFR3-mediated transformation signaling, after direct phosphorylation at Tyr-529 by FGFR3. Negatively regulates EGF-induced MAPK1/3 phosphorylation via phosphorylation of SOS1. Phosphorylates SOS1 at 'Ser-1134' and 'Ser-1161' that create YWHAB and YWHAE binding sites and which contribute to the negative regulation of MAPK1/3 phosphorylation (By similarity). Phosphorylates EPHA2 at 'Ser-897', the RPS6KA- EPHA2 signaling pathway controls cell migration (PubMed:26158630). |

RSK3 is a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains 2 non-identical kinase catalytic domains and phosphorylates various substrates, including members of the mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway. The activity of this protein has been implicated in controlling cell growth and differentiation. Mutations in the gene have been associated with Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS).

Instead, the championship hopefuls fell at the hands of the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round, losing the series 2 - 4. It was a monumental disappointment for fans and players alike. Fortunately, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, and DeAndre Jordan are refreshed from off-season and ready to report back to Staples Center. You will not want to miss this team, led by coach Doc Rivers, in action as they fight their way back to postseason. Buy your Los Angeles Clippers tickets right here!

Los Angeles Clippers News
The Los Angeles Clippers got a couple important wins over fellow teams in the West, helping them keep their No. 5 spot in the conference this week. The Clips prevailed over Memphis and Oklahoma City, but fell to Utah, the current No. 1 seed and a likely opponent in the first round of the playoffs. Blake Griffin has had a below average month; he has earned fewer than 20 points in the last five games. L.A. needs him to perform this week as they host the Jazz this Saturday, March 25, at the Staples Center. You don't want to miss this West Conference showdown—we have great tickets on sale now for only $9 and up.

The Los Angeles Clippers are definite contenders for the playoffs being the fifth place in the Western conference. Unfortunately, on Monday, March 13 the Clippers took on the Utah Jazz and weren't able to add another win to their record. It looked as if the Clippers were in good shape when they ended the first half with a seven-point lead. The Utah Jazz were able to rally back in the third quarter and take the lead for the first time in the game. In the end, the Clippers handed the Jazz the 114-108 win. Take the opportunity to see them live when they take on the Denver Nuggets on March 16. Tickets are still available.
The Los Angeles Clippers managed to add another impressive victory to their resume last night. They followed up their win on the road over the Chicago Bulls by trouncing the Boston Celtics at home. Although the visitors held a slight lead at halftime, the Clippers were able to come surging back in the third and fourth quarters to win the game 116-102. Now, they will embark on a brief road trip before retuning home to Staples Center on Wednesday, March 15, for a clash with the Milwaukee Bucks. Tickets to that game are already on sale and currently available for prices starting as low as just $5. Buy yours now.
The injury bug has made things tough on the Los Angeles Clippers this season. Despite missing superstar point guard Chris Paul for stretches during the season, the Clippers are still vying for a top-four stop in the NBA playoffs. As of March 1, the Clippers were 36-23, fifth in the West, just a half a game behind the Utah Jazz for the coveted fourth spot, which would give the team home-court advantage in a first-round playoff game. LA closed out February on a high note, edging the Charlotte Hornets in overtime 124-121. Forward Blake Griffin was at his signature best. He poured in a game-high 43 points in the win.
The Los Angeles Clippers are in the middle of what could be the toughest and longest road trip of the entire NBA season. Playing 11 of 13 games away from home would be tough on just about any team, but this stint has the Clips playing GSW three times, along with contests against Utah, Toronto, Atlanta and Boston. So far, Los Angeles has struggled, leaving Philadelphia, Oakland, Boston, Toronto and Denver with losses and earning just three wins against Atlanta, Phoenix and New York. The Clippers will be at home this Wednesday, Feb. 15, against Atlanta before wrapping up the rest of the road trip. Ticket prices start at just $9.
Many have been quick to criticize the Los Angeles Clippers for not being as great as they were last season, but at the midpoint in the schedule, the Clips are well on their way to another historic playoff appearance. Although they haven't caught as much attention this season, flying under the radar could be the Clips' biggest weapon this year. Although a six-game slump in late December was definitely a concern, the team has overcome many of its challenges this month and has yet to lose a game in 2017. Can they keep the streak alive this week as they embark on a five-game road trip? They'll be back at the Staples Center on Feb. 2 against GSW.
The Los Angeles Clippers were one of the best teams in the NBA this season until their game on December 23 against the Mavericks. The close loss against the Dallas team was a disappointment, but no one realized that this was the beginning of a long losing streak for the Clippers. After the loss against the Mavericks, the Clippers lost to their rival and one of the worst teams in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers. Fast forward four more games and the Clippers still haven't won. Luckily, they started the New Year off on the right foot by winning their first game in seven games against the Suns. Cheer them on to more wins when you purchase tickets from Razorgator for their next game.
The Los Angeles Clippers had a solid four game winning streak going on until they lost to the Wizards on December 18. They beat the Nuggets to hopefully restart a winning streak on December 20. This game was the first without Blake Griffin, who had to undergo knee surgery. After securing a 29-point lead in the third quarter, they rested their starters for the fourth quarter. DeAndre Jordan scored 13 points and nabbed 13 rebounds, while Luc Mbah a Moute had 14 points. They host the Spurs on December 22 and the Mavericks on the 23 before they head to Los Angeles to play the Lakers on Christmas Day. You still have a chance to get your tickets for prices starting at $6.
Even though the Los Angeles Clippers have lost four of their last six games, they still hold the third place position in the Western Conference. On Sunday, December 4 the Clippers were put up against the Indiana Pacers. Unlucky for the Clippers, Paul George and C.J. Miles returned to the Pacers line up, to help the Indiana team defeat the Clippers 111-102 on the Clippers home court. The Clippers were ahead during the first quarter, but they were unable to hold off the Pacers and allowed them to come back from a 15-point deficit. Once the Pacers got in their groove, the Clippers were unable to sneak by them. See the Clippers play live when you purchase your tickets today.
It's been a wildly impressive start to the 2016-2017 NBA season for the Los Angeles Clippers, who have managed to take home a win 12 times so far, including all six games they've played on the road. At No. 1 in the Western Conference and No. 2 overall in the NBA, the Clips have a deep and talented bench and are playing well both offensively and defensively. Up next in the schedule, Los Angeles looks to extend their four-game winning streak in Detroit this Friday, Nov. 25, against the Pistons. Can they keep their undefeated road game record alive? Don't miss your chance to see these guys in action. Tickets are available for only $15!
The Los Angeles Clippers have won their last three games in a row, helping them achieve a 6-1 record so far this season. In their latest victory, the Clippers beat the Pistons 114-82. The Clippers came out strong, dominating the first quarter and outscoring the Pistons 33-15. The Clippers never let up, leading the whole game. The team had 13 3-pointers, five of which came from Chris Paul, who had a total of 24 points during the game. The Clippers host the Trail Blazers on the 9 and then head on the road to play the Thunder on the 11 and the Timberwolves on the 12. You can still get tickets for prices starting at just $5.
The Los Angeles Clippers have the enviable position of being bystanders for the first few days of the NBA regular season. With their opener not scheduled until Thursday, Oct. 27, they'll have a bit of extra time to get their eyes on upcoming opponents before facing them on the court. The Clippers are also spending some of that time to do some good in the community. Chris Paul and the team took some time after practice Wednesday to deliver new shoes to over 350 kids in the L.A. area. Hopefully the charitable act will bring good karma as the Clippers face the Trail Blazers Thursday. Be there in person by purchasing tickets from us now for only $20 and up!
Faithful Los Angeles Clippers fans are hopeful that this is the year when Blake Griffin puts it all together and dominates the league in a way that people have expected him to since he was drafted. Judging by the preseason and his offseason work ethic, it appears he's looking to make those hopes a reality. Griffin has shown poise and determination in the early going, and as long as the young forward is able to stay healthy, the Clippers should be able to stay in contention for the West Conference title. The team hosts the Utah Jazz in the home opener on October 30, and tickets start as low as $17.
The time is now for the Los Angeles Clippers to make a run at the Western Conference Finals. The team brought in some depth during the offseason but is otherwise sticking with the primary core that fans have come to love over the last few seasons. The biggest question mark for the Clippers always seems to be the health of Blake Griffin. At present, the star power forward looks to be fully healthy, and he's going to have to stay that way if this team wants to have a shot at dethroning the Warriors in the West. The preseason comes to LA on October 5 when the Clippers host the Toronto Raptors, and tickets start as low as $5.

Hehe, had to reread through this. I was drunk when I posted it. Probably should move this to senseless banter. |
I mean have things look as though they are real. Like you can't tell your eyes are closed. Earlier today after I woke up I closed my eyes for a while. I tried seeing things. For short moments I actually saw stuff. It was not just closing my eyes and seeing black or just imagining something. I mean I can still imagine what different food tastes like or what something looks like. But I actually saw something. I guess people who meditate for years are able to do this, but do it as much as they want. They can actually have lucid day dreams so to speak. |
Hehe, had to reread through this. I was drunk when I posted it. Probably should move this to senseless banter. |
nah its fine here =) Sometimes I can see things too, it starts out fuzzy and in black and white, usualy high contrast, and then it starts to resolve into a color more detailed image. If I realx but keep my wits and watch I can usualy WILD. |
"A knight is sworn to valor.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked."
Impossible is only that which has yet to be imagined
Thst is the inward eye, I do that aswell. |
Sometime as I'm lying in bed, trying to go to sleep, I realize I can see through my closed eyelids. It's kind of like seeing with night vision goggles. |
Plenty of times. It usually happens when I take a nap. It's extremely easy for me to do... all I have to do is think about it while drifting off and soon I'll start seeing where my head is turned. But it's never exact. It's usually blurry, somewhat dark, and somehow offset (either closer, further, or just off angle). |
When i was like 5 years old or so and i woud close my eyes i woud see alot of colors and things flying around passing my view like tables, chairs, dogs, cars, clothes, people, doors, bad tubs, deers, pictures, bedsheets, weapons, scenes of things that i have done in my live, black holes, planets, stairs, etc etc etc... i woud see everything even horrifying things, somtimes even hear voices faintly saying things |
Whatever happens~
Yeah, sometimes the angle is off with me as well. The first few times it happened, I opened my eyes to check what I was seeing against what was really there. Everything in the room was the same, but the blankets on my bed didn't match what I was seeing. |
the brain circuits used by imagination and sensory data are the same - your brain does not know the difference... |
"you only lose what you cling to"
I guess something like this happens to me when I am close to WILDing. I will have the sensation of my eyes being closed, but I can see my body, my position and my room. The same is true of paralysis. |
Yea, its called hypnogogia---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia |

I stomp on your ideas.
Ive done this for years, I always see things while I daydream/meditate I think its sorta like wilding. I tried to figure this out here once last year but didn't get very far. it is pretty cool to be able to do though. |
Reality is only one moment away form right now is reality. Check... Dream Sign... Engage Lucid Dreaming!
tlatho.com Coming soon with pic's of me and family.
yeah its fun to freak people out by doing things with your eyes closed. i do it in school sometimes i'm just like, what? i can see perfectly it helps alot in the dark too.i always win at hide and seek lol.technically its not cheating with a flashlight.... |

Cusp. No. I'm actually correct and you're talking about something else. Seeing through your eyelids? Are you and like one other person the only ones describing such a phenomenon, whilst everyone else is perfectly relating to hypnogogia. Remember, REM is still active for long periods of time, thus its only natural to have vivid like imagery. Everyone experiences it. If you truly are talking about something else, my apologies, as I probably should've remembered that this IS the "Beyond dreaming" section...... |

Somebody's sure of themselves. I have 17 years of dreaming experience, and believe me, I know the difference between hypnogogic/hypnopompic states and reality. Unlike most people on this site, I don't consider lucidity to be the "be all, end all" of dreaming, and I've spend a ridiculous amount of time researching these matters. |
sometimes, when i close my eyes, i see weird shapes, almost as a foreign alphabet. |

Its called hypnagogic imagery. It happens kinda on the border of awake/asleep. It happens to me all the time. I think it usually happens to people that mess with different states of conciousness, like us LDers. I also meditate and other stuff, so even more for me. I'll be laying there and whatever I think I'm looking at, I'll start to see it. I'll be seeing my floor, and I'll be like "Wait. But my eyes are closed" |
Now why would Hypnagogic imagery be an accurate representation of your surroundings? HI consists of random stuff like evil clowns or hearing voices, pretty much the same symptoms as schizophrenia. Have you ever had any other HI that were identical, where you saw the same thing? I've certainly never heard of such a thing happening. |
Last night I tried to sleep for 6 hours, and 4 hours into this failed attempt, while trying really hard to fall asleep, I saw a brief flash of a man with a mustache and glasses staring into my eyes from inches away from my face. It was so unexpected, it scared me. That was the first thing I've ever seen that looked real with my eyes closed but still awake. In case you were wondering, he had an evil mustache. |
"Above All, Love"
Yes, I do see lots of random stuff too. Like crumpling pieces of paper, random old ladies laughing, etc. But a lot of the time I see where I think I am, just because thats what I'm focused on seeing, even that my eyes are closed. What I get here is HI. You just interpreted it wrong. I dont get the same thing every time. I can even get into this state on command. It just takes me a few minutes. |
Last edited by Tricky; 07-12-2008 at 01:07 AM.
In my experience I can't maintain HI if I start moving around. When I see with my eyes closed, I can get up and break dance if I want to, yet still be able to see that like I have night vision goggles. I see it the exact same way every time. |

With 9 seconds left in the first quarter of the Gahanna Lincoln versus Lancaster game, Stevie Taylor received an outlet pass from junior guard Aaron Roberson and converted a layup to score his 5th point of the night, and the 1263rd point of his career, to break the 43 year old Gahanna Lincoln all-time scoring record. The record was previously set by Mark Browning during the 1968-69 season. This week, Taylor spoke to Browning on the phone about the record. According to Taylor, "Mr. Browning was cool. He congratulated me on my success, and he stated that although he is disappointed that his record was about to fall, he had heard I was a good kid and he wished me good luck at OU (Ohio University). That meant a lot to me."
Although individual records are secondary to team goals, Stevie Taylor's career and Gahanna Lincoln's recent success have gone hand-in-hand. Not only did Taylor score his 1000th point last year during the regional final against the #1 nationally ranked Columbus Northland, Taylor led his team to the school's first undefeated regular season (20-0), the school's first District and Regional championships, and the program's first state tournament appearance last season. So far this year, Gahanna Lincoln is undefeated at 15-0, ranked second in the state polls, and is well positioned to win back-to-back conference championships, a feat that has not been accomplished by any school in the league since 1980, and a chance at Gahanna's second district championship. Congratulations to Stevie, his family and Gahanna Lincoln High School for a truly special accomplishment! To see pictures of the game, visit the Buckeye Prep Facebook Fan Page.

Abstract: | This paper studies the sequence of short-run quantity-constrained equilibria of a model with a single storable output, labor and money. The durability of output gives rise to inventory fluctuations which influence the course of the equilibria attained. One special feature of interest is the assumption that prices are not at the level which would equilibrate all markets if there were no stochastic shocks to the economy. With prices frozen at this level, the nature of the realized shocks determines the type of disequilibrium realized and the unintended component of inventory change. The analysis concentrates on two questions: What is the statistical nature of the process governing the real wage, output, employment and inventories? And is it possible to test this model against the alternative hypothesis that prices are continually flexible even after the shocks have disturbed the system? We find that although these theories are similar in their qualitative structure, tests can be developed. We also show how the frequencies of different types of quantity-constrained equilibria vary with the stochastic specification. This may shed some insight on why it is commonly believed that some types of disequilibrium phenomena have not been observed. |

Disney Announces The End Of Their Infinity Gaming System
Two more play sets based on Disney movies will be released this year. Alice Through the Looking Glass and Finding Dory will be the last of Disney Infinity 3.0.
Two more play sets based on Disney movies will be released this year. Alice Through the Looking Glass and Finding Dory will be the last of Disney Infinity 3.0.
It's a big day for Star Wars nerds...I mean FANS like me. 'The Force Awakens' is out on Blu-Ray and DVD today!
The daughters of real-life Princess Anna do NOT have 'Frozen' fever.
The marketing for Disney's Zootopia hasn't exactly hooked us just yet, but early word-of-mouth suggests that the studio's latest animated adventure is not only smarter and more subversive than the trailers would have you believe, but that Zootopia is right up there with the best of Pixar. Speaking of which: Like Pixar, Zootopia has its own easter eggs connecting it to other Disney films — well, it has at least one easter egg, and you can check it out in this gallery of new, high-res photos from the upcoming film.
If you've been itching for more Frozen, you're about to get a whole lot of it. In addition to the previously announced Frozen movie sequel, Disney has officially confirmed plans to take the hit animated blockbuster to Broadway. The stage show won't debut until 2018, which gives you plenty of time to save up some cash and maybe have a kid who will be old enough to appreciate it by then.
Some claim that "The Snow and Ice Dance," one of China's official songs for the distant 2022 Olympic games, sounds suspiciously similar to "Let It Go."
Plus, Bell makes the 'Frozen' fan an honorary princess of Arendelle.
You had to know that when Frozen became the seventh highest grossing movie in history (its $1.27 billion is more than Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Casino Royale combined) that Disney was going to turn it into a ride, if not a whole section of rides at one of (if not all of) their amusement parks. They'd already announced the plans for a Frozen attraction at Epcot, and today, via The Wall Street Journal, the revealed a lot of the details about it. It's called Frozen Ever After and it opens next year.
The news out of Disney's shareholder meeting keeps on coming. This one isn't much of a surprise: Disney is making Frozen 2. In a related story, the sky is blue and water is wet (until a princess with freezing powers comes along and turns it into ice).
At long last, it's finally here! The 'Frozen Fever' trailer has debuted -- along with a clip of a brand-new song! -- and it is pure magic.

You will if you've ever set foot in a second hand record shop, most of which have so many copies of the U2/Pavarotti "experiment" visitors are invited to grab handfulls of them - an offer few take up. Well, since Bono seems incapable of admitting when he's made a mistake, U2 are going to record with Pavarotti again.
Speaking from behind sunglasses, Bono said "Do you get it? He's a classical singer, and we're a rock band. Isn't that astonishing what we're doing there... classical music hooked up with rock music. We're just amazing... it's breaking down pre-conceptions..." shortly before accepting cease and desist letters from William Orbit, Malcolm McClaren, the bloke who did Tubby The Tuba and Mark Stewart,

Best Texas/Oklahoma Albums of 2011- Our Top Ten
2011 was a great year for music in Texas and Oklahoma. There were far too many terrific albums in far too little time. While you might not know some of these guys, there were an abundance of albums from Texas and Oklahoma artists that made us turn our heads and open our ears. Take a look at our top 10 albums from Texas and Oklahoma and tell us who you think was left out.
Chippin' Away
Kevin Fowler returned in 2011 with Chippin' Away, which has found success thanks to singles like "Hell Yeah, I Like Beer," and "That Girl." The album is classic Fowler, which always makes for one hell of a listen.
Down The Hatch
This one kind of caught us by surprise. After hearing the opening track of "Better Place to Start," we were hooked. The album is solid from start to finish and includes some real diamonds in tracks like "Fool's Gold" and "Through The Fire." This may make the perfect album for putting on and taking a back road just driving around and listening.
Sons of Fathers
Like The Damn Quails, Sons of Fathers caught us completely off guard and knocked us back. The debut self titled album from Sons of Fathers makes you think their four or five albums in. Their mature far beyond their young age in both songwriting and musical ability. The highlights of their debut include a song that shares the same name as the album and band in "Sons of Fathers" and a toe tapper in "Out of Line."
This Is Indian Land
The boys from Oklahoma are back with a new sound and new album as Cross Canadian Ragweed frontman, Cody Canada, delivers a fantastic collection of songs with 'This Is Indian Land.' The album blends a true sound with true words to make true gem in Texas & Oklahoma music. It's a newer sound from Canada and it's easy to fall in love with. Though we were sad to see the end of Cross Canadian, we're anxious to hear what's next from The Departed.
At first we were a little perturbed that it took over five years to get a new album from Stoney LaRue, but after the first listen of 'Velvet' we knew why we had to wait and weren't upset any longer. The album was more than a nice welcome back for Stoney with tracks that hook you instantly like "Velvet," "Dresses," and "Look At Me Fly." We can't say enough good things about this album, so it's time you picked it up.
Rancho Alto
Rancho Alto is Jason Boland doing what he does best. It's true songwriting, impeccable storytelling and a sound no one but Boland and crew can deliver. Rancho Alto might be a little tense and slightly politically driven sounding, but it's an album that opens your eyes and ears to the world around you. It's worth its weight in gold and another stellar release from Jason Boland.
Good Luck & True Love
Flawless is the only way to describe 'Good Luck & True Love," the newest release from Reckless Kelly. In true Reckless Kelly form, the songwriting and storytelling are put front and center with a sound that's bigger than the Lone Star State. "Save Me From Myself," "Hit The Ground Runnin'" and the title track, "Good Luck & True Love" stand out as tracks that show off the freedom of songwriting that Willy and gang have with their music.
KMAG YOYO (& Other American Songs)
Released in the early part of 2011, 'KMAG YOYO (& Other American Songs)' might be one of the more celebrated albums among fellow musicans. Hayes Carll brings a refreshing sound to country/alt. country/americana/anything else you want to call it. Nearly every musician we've talked to this year say Hayes Carll is the next big thing in country and we would have to agree. Already getting attention nationwide, Carll and his latest release bring a rejuvenated since of songwriting to music that has been in need of it. Carll knocks it out of the park with KMAG YOYO. All we want to do now is Stomp & Holler.
'Unfolding' is quite possibly the best debut album from any band that we've heard in the past ten years. The Folk Family Revival deliver their own distinctive sound and matured beyond their years songwriting with their debut. It's astounding to think that a band so new on the scene can have a sound so large and so seasoned. Some readers have might not even heard of the band but it's release only a few months ago has already left us wanting more.
Sorrow & Smoke
'Sorrow & Smoke' is the only live album to make the list and it just so happens to land at #1. Slaid Cleaves brings his haunting lyrics and incredible voice to life, live from the Horseshoe Lounge in Austin, TX. It's one thing to listen to a Slaid studio album and get chills but those chills are magnified when you hear them live. From Slaid staples like "One Good Year" & "Breakfast in Hell" to yodel cover's of Don Walser songs, 'Sorrow & Smoke' was easily our favorite album of the year. The music will speak for itself, all you have to do is listen. It's a true folk and Americana sound that only Slaid can deliver.

Ultragenyx seizure drug fails mid-stage study
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc said its drug to treat patients with seizures did not meet the main goal in a mid-stage study, sending its shares down 6.2 percent in after-market trading on Wednesday.
Women who drank anywhere from a few alcoholic drinks a month to more than three a week in the year leading up to a heart attack ended up living longer than women who never drank alcohol, according to a U.S. study.
The findings, which focused on more than 1,000 women and were published in the American Journal of Cardiology, add to mounting evidence that alcohol, regardless of the type of drink, can be good for the heart.
"One thing that was interesting was that we didn't see differences among different beverage types," said Joshua Rosenbloom, a student at Harvard Medical School who led the study.
"The most recent evidence suggests that it's the alcohol itself that's beneficial."
There was a similarly reduced risk of dying within the follow up period whether the women drank wine, beer or hard liquor, Rosenbloom and his colleagues found.
"One drink a day is a really good target, assuming that a person can be disciplined about that," said James O'Keefe, a cardiologist at St. Luke's Health System in Kansas City, Missouri, who was not involved in the study.
Researchers surveyed more than 1,200 women hospitalized for a heart attack. They asked questions about how many alcoholic drinks the women usually consumed, along with other health and lifestyle questions.
After at least 10 years of follow up, the team found that 44 out of every 100 women who had abstained from alcohol had died, while 25 out of every 100 light drinkers and 18 out of every 100 heavy drinkers had died.
This translated to about a 35 percent lower chance of dying during the follow up period for women who drank, compared to those who didn't.
In an earlier study including men and women, O'Keefe found that people who continued to drink moderately after having a heart attack had better health than those who abstained.
"You don't need to assume that people need to stop drinking once they develop heart disease," he said.
"The problem is that alcohol is a slippery slope, and while we know that a little bit is good for us, a lot of it is really bad." SOURCE: bit.ly/uU3Eor

News Release — December 11, 2007
Ransom Center Acquires
Tim O'Brien Archive
AUSTIN, Texas—The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin has acquired the archive of writer Tim O'Brien, author of such memorable works as "The Things They Carried" (1990) and "Going After Cacciato" (1978), for which O'Brien received the National Book Award in 1979.
The more than 25 boxes of material document O'Brien's life and work, demonstrating the complex and multifaceted relationships that exist among experience, memory and the creative process.
The archive traces O'Brien's life and career. It includes a story about war he wrote as a boy, his military uniforms and awards, weather-damaged letters received from his family while he was in Vietnam, a map of that country heavily annotated decades later, his research notes on his novels and a wide range of correspondence.
"I'm delighted and much relieved to know that my modest archive will be under the care of people who appreciate commas and periods and the considered arrangement of our alphabet upon the page," said O'Brien. "The Harry Ransom Center has become something even more than an important repository of cultural materials; it is also a house in which, late at night, or on a rainy afternoon, one can hear the furious scratchings of the human soul in its struggle to revise itself. How nice to find such a home."
The bulk of the archive consists of materials related to the range of O'Brien's novels, including "If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home" (1973), "Northern Lights" (1975), "The Nuclear Age" (1985), "The Things They Carried," "In the Lake of the Woods" (1994), "July, July" (2002) and "Going After Cacciato."
In addition to extensively corrected manuscripts, the archive contains corrected page proofs; business, personal and fan correspondence; interviews; reviews and promotion and production materials.
The collection is rich in photographs, school records, family items and personal effects, including O'Brien's military medals.
"We are honored to have Tim O'Brien's archive at the Ransom Center," said Director Thomas F. Staley. "His work is an outstanding contribution to American literature, and indeed no one has written about the Vietnam War so wisely or so well. O'Brien's penetrating portrait of the war in Vietnam is a riveting testimony to that cataclysmic period, both on the battlefield and at home."
O'Brien's archive adds to the Ransom Center's outstanding holdings of war literature of the 20th century, which include Wilfred Owens's World War I trench poetry, Ernest Hemingway's dispatches from the Spanish Civil War, the World War II novels of Norman Mailer, James Jones and Leon Uris, and James Salter's account of aerial combat in Korea as well as photographer David Douglas Duncan's coverage of World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars.
The materials will be accessible once organized and housed.
High-resolution press images from the O'Brien archive are available.

The pumpkin has its day…
It's that time of the year when those ridged orange balls, small, medium and large, appear in abundance. In this country they go hand in hand with fall. The pumpkin is here and its services to mankind go beyond than just being carved into a jack-o'-lantern.
This nutritious and versatile plant features flowers, seeds and flesh that are edible and rich in vitamins. From the blossoms to the seeds to the pumpkin itself, this fruit is used for soups, desserts, appetizers, breads and even as containers.
Pumpkins are a member of the gourd family, which includes cucumbers, honeydew melons, cantaloupe, watermelon and zucchini. They are native to Central America and Mexico, and are now grown on six continents. U.S. farmers grow more than 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins annually.
References to pumpkins date back many centuries. In 1584 Frenchman Jacques Cartier, after exploring the St. Lawrence region of North America, reported finding "gros melons." Its present name of pumpkin originated from the Greek name "pepon" which translated means "large melon." The French changed "pepon" to "pompon"; the English changed "pompon" to "pumpion" and it was the American colonists who changed "pumpion" to "pumpkin." However, Native Americans called them "isqoutm squash."
The pumpkin was one of many foods eaten by Native American Indians, a food source both fresh and dried. They also pounded strips of pumpkin flat, dried them, and then wove them into mats. The pumpkin pie originated when the colonists sliced off the pumpkin top, removed the seeds and filled the insides with milk, spices and honey. The gourd was then baked in hot ashes. It wasn't long before they learned of a new use for the pumpkin: they made pumpkin beer.

Strong demand for the Ford Focus again led sales in July. With 32,920 wholesale units sold, Ford Focus sales grew 77 per cent in July.

That's pretty darn sweaty—and chances are you sweat even more than the average lass. Why? One study published in Experimental Physiology found that fit women sweat much more than their unfit counterparts. And despite the pit stains, that's actually a great thing.
MORE: 6 Tips for Sweat-Proofing Your Makeup
The sweat-fitness connection: During exercise, your body adapts to sweat both at a lower internal body temperature as well as at a higher rate. Basically, your body learns it's going to work hard on the regular, so it ups its sweating game to keep you cool—and prevent heat exhaustion—during upcoming physical demands.
According to some researchers, that might be why women still sweat less than men (four times less, on average, according to Shapiro). Just think: Women of our hunter-gatherer ancestry didn't have to do nearly as much physical labor as their male counterparts did.
MORE: Does Being Soaked in Sweat Mean You Burned More Calories?
But while sweat is any fitness-lover's friend, you can sweat too much—and about one to three percent of all women do, says Shapiro. Hyperhidrosis (layman's term for excessive sweating), can not only be embarrassing and annoying, but if really severe, it could lead to dehydration and off-kilter electrolyte levels. If you feel like you're sweating more than you used to, you perspire when you're neither warm nor stressed (all over or even just on one spot of your body), or you suffer from night sweats, see your doctor to find out if you might have the condition.

- My CCE
The MEng is a coursework-only master's degree of 45 credits based on curricula that allow graduate students to efficiently focus on the academic courses that are most relevant to their professional objectives. Each student works with a committee and undergoes a final oral examination.
Students pursuing the MEng degree are typically not eligible for Graduate Assistantships but may apply for scholarships.
Program Standards: The student's MEng program of study shall be designed to develop a degree of competence in the major area significantly higher than the customary baccalaureate education, and shall include background and adjunct knowledge normally expected of a person entering the professional practice of that specialty. To aid in assuring high standards, the major shall include not less than 15 credit hours of 500-level, non-blanket, CCE courses. (Note: Blanket courses are those numbered 501, 505, 506, and 507.)
Final Oral Exam: The Final Examination for the M. Eng. degree consists of an oral examination conducted by the three members of the student's M. Eng. Committee. The oral exam should be a maximum of one hour duration and may be in the form of a traditional technical exam or a Portfolio Presentation. The topic of the exam is to be decided by the Committee and communicated to the student well in advance of the exam. This exam should take place during the last term of the student's M. Eng. program. There is no written exam component for the M. Eng. Final Examination.
Blanket Course Limitation: Blanket courses are those numbered 501, 505, 506, and 507. The maximum number of blanket course credits allowed in an MEng degree is 6 credits. Other blanket course credits may be allowed in a Master's degree program of study, such as CE 505 – Reading and Conference or CE 501 – Research, based on a Statement of Purpose included with the student's program of study and approval of the student's graduate committee.
Non-engineers in MEng Degree Programs: Admission of non-engineering baccalaureate degree holders to MEng degree programs in CCE is only permitted when the student has completed those engineering requirements for the BS degree that are considered prerequisite for entry into the chosen area of graduate study. Hence, the student generally is held in a post-baccalaureate status until the prerequisite requirements are reconfirmed by the student and major professor (or graduate advisor) and any further remedial coursework is promptly taken once the focus and content of the student's program of study is determined and approved.
CCE Graduate Seminar: Students pursuing the MEng degree are only required to take the Fall quarter of the CCE Graduate Seminar (CE 507).
Selection of Major Professor: It is important that the student work with a major professor whose program, research, and professional interests lie in the same area as the student's. In view of this, students are given a short period of time on campus before a major professor is selected. The assignment of a major professor will be by mutual agreement among the faculty member, the student, and the School of CCE. Normally, MEng students will arrange for a major professor and for the members of their graduate committee by the end of their second term in residence at OSU. Possible majors for the MEng degree include the following:
Forming a Graduate Committee: Each student must form a graduate committee which will oversee and approve the student's graduate program of study. Committee members should be selected based on mutual agreement between the student and major professor. The committee must have at least three members: two members from the student's area of study including the major professor; and an outside member chosen based on the relevance to the student's coursework. A Graduate Council Representative is not required on the committee. The committee should be formed in time to review the student's program of study.
Review and Filing of Program of Study: Students should submit their official program of study with the Graduate School and CCE by the end of their second term in residence at OSU. Students who do not file a program of study within the specified deadline specified by the Graduate School for their degree will not be allowed to register for the next term. A registration hold will also be placed on graduate students whose programs of study are not approved after initial evaluation by the Graduate School.
Graduate program of study forms can be found on the Graduate School website. This completed form must be reviewed and approved by the CCE Graduate Committee for compliance with CCE requirements prior to submittal to the Graduate School.
See Master's Degree Progress Flow Chart here (pdf).
Exam Scheduling Form: You must schedule all examinations required by the Graduate School using the Exam Scheduling Form. You must submit this form at least one week prior to a doctoral preliminary exam or a master's final exam, and two weeks prior to a doctoral final exam. You are responsible for:
In addition, a CCE MEng Degree Checklist must be completed and submitted to the CCE Committee along with the program of study.

Alexis Sanchez will make his first start for Arsenal on Sunday afternoon after the former Barcelona forward was named in the starting line-up to face Monaco in the final game of the Emirates Cup.
The Chile international agreed to join the Gunners in the summer for a reported £35m, and after making his first appearance in a second half cameo during Saturday's 5-1 win over Benfica, Sanchez was named in the team that will take on the Ligue 1 runners-up at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsene Wenger elected to field a much stronger line-up than that of Saturday's comfortable win, with regulars Laurent Koscielny, Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere and Olivier Giroud coming into the starting XI. They were joined by another new signing making his first start in right-back Mathieu Debuchy, while £16m centre-back Calum Chambers retained his place in the middle of the defence.
The pairing of Chambers and Koscielny would certainly face a stiff test as Colombian striker Radamel Falcao was named in the Monaco starting line-up for the first time since he suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament back in February, ruling him out of the World Cup.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Debuchy, Chambers, Koscielny, Monreal, Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Sanchez, Giroud.
Subs: Martinez, Miquel, Hayden, Bellerin, Coquelin, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Zelalem, Akpom.
Monaco: Subasic, Carvalho, Dirar, Moutinho, Falcao, Ocampos, Bakayoko, Ferreira-Carrasco, Echiejile, Kondogbia, Raggi.
Subs: Fabinho, Kurzawa, Abnennour, Berbatov, Germain, Isimat-Mirin, Martial, Toulalan, Bahamboula, Diallo, Caillard.
