Carbonization of Sims Expansions Underway
9:51 AM | Andy Largent | Comment on this story
The Aspyr projects page has been updated with two new projects for fans
of The Sims. Yesterday they released a patch to bring OS
X support to the original Sims, along with some patches to fix some minor bugs.
Now it seems that Westlake Interactive is also working on Carbon
patches for both the Livin' Large and House Party expansion
packs. Both patches are considered in Early Development at this point, with the former
to be released next month, and the latter sometime in September.
House Party, the second major add-on for the game, is now duplication and
expected on shelves by early next week. It should also be noted that another of Aspyr's
publishing projects, Otto Matic is now listed as Early Development as
well, instead of the Beta status it was incorrectly listed as previously. We're assured from
Pangea's Brian Greenstone that they are making good progress with the game, but
it's still nowhere near beta stage. If you are a Sims fan and have tried the patched version under OS X, make sure and report your results and experience in our Forums.

The Facts About HIPAA Compliance and Employee Vaccination Records
After hearing recent claims that answering personal questions about vaccination status violates HIPAA, you may feel concerned that your company policy on vaccination records fails to comply with the law. Are you as an employer legally allowed to request such records under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act? And if it is in fact legal, how can you have total confidence you are acting in compliance with privacy regulations protecting your employees (and yourself)?
Here are a few key things to keep in mind as you ensure your company’s policies and activities surrounding health records are fully compliant.
What HIPAA Is (and Isn’t)
It’s true that HIPAA covers protected health information (PHI), which includes vaccination records. But it actually doesn’t protect individuals from being asked to reveal their health records. It also doesn’t prevent employers from requiring employee vaccination.
Rather, it prohibits healthcare organizations and their business associates from revealing patient records to unauthorized parties without the patient’s permission. Businesses that are not in healthcare and do not qualify as “business associates” are not actually covered by HIPAA regulations at all. And generally speaking, these requirements regulate patient records – not employee records.
That said, when in doubt, it is safer to keep records that are HIPAA compliant. Beyond this, other privacy laws (such as the Americans with Disabilities Act) still require careful handling of employee health data.
Vaccine records, like other sensitive employee data, should be treated as protected information regardless of HIPAA coverage. The ADA classifies these records as confidential medical records and requires strict compliance with ADA laws when storing them.
A compliant records system must:
- Store employee medical information securely and separately from personnel files
- Keep those medical records strictly confidential (even if not about a disability)
- Secure the records from unauthorized access
Any system that falls within HIPAA compliance likely will also comply with ADA regulations (but check for yourself to be certain.)
Training Employees in Compliance Regulations
The best records system in the world still needs the support of properly-trained employees. A single poorly trained person with the right access can wreak havoc on the confidentiality of sensitive information. To this end, proper training – to include regular refreshers and updates as regulations change – is paramount.
A well-organized training system allows you to:
- Centralize learning materials
- Easily facilitate reminders and follow-ups
- See and manage team workflows
- Know who has completed assigned tasks
Nothing is left to chance and the collaboration process is painless. It ensures your training strategy is well-controlled and planned, so that nothing falls between the cracks and the people with access to sensitive data know how to properly handle it.
This bears repeating: no system for storing confidential data is secure until everyone with access is well-versed in their compliance responsibilities.
How OnTask Helps with Vaccine Record-Keeping
- Create customized workflows to collect vaccine information
- Automate employee follow-ups based on questionnaire responses
- Track employee form completion from a dashboard
- Customize compliance training assignments and automate reminders
It’s the definition of elegance: the same tool that simplifies your records-keeping and training also ensures it remains compliant at all times.
Implementing a Compliant, Efficient, and Human-Centered Vaccination Policy
Although employee and patient privacy laws such as HIPAA or the ADA must be carefully considered, it is entirely possible to implement a strong vaccination policy while fully respecting them.
By adopting a secure, well-organized system and ensuring your teams’ compliance training is up-to-date, you go beyond merely meeting minimum requirements. You also work to ensure potentially nervous employees can feel respected and secure in sharing sensitive personal health data with the company. This can go a long way in getting everyone on-board in the company and minimizing resistance to the policy.
Of course, technological solutions are only as good as the relationships they facilitate. At a human level, the best way to reduce friction over sensitive policy changes is to carefully focus on reciprocal, truly responsive relationships. In being intentionally communicative and responsive, leadership can greatly support a healthy, transparent work culture and actively build trust. This is imperative to an effective COVID safety policy. And though not a replacement for the human side of relationships, OnTask can help with this, too.
Through workflow automation, it offers teams one more tool to facilitate crucial conversations and feedback surrounding difficult new policies.

In a recent visit to Turkey, the UK’s Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the current blockade on Gaza and referred to the territory as a “prison camp”. The Israeli embassy in London accordingly responded to Mr. Cameron’s remarks by asserting that the Palestinians living in Gaza are actually prisoners of Hamas, rather than prisoners of the Israeli blockade. Furthermore, the Israeli spokesperson claimed that Hamas, due to its election in 2006, is responsible for the situation in Gaza.
While the media is focusing on the visit and remarks by David Cameron, the responding statements by the Israeli embassy are, in my view, more interesting. Both statements are clear examples of political spin, but spin that has gone so far as to place the blame for Israeli actions upon Hamas.
The logic is impossible to follow, but according to the Israeli envoy to the UK, this is what we are supposed to understand about the blockade. They want us to believe that Hamas really doesn’t care much about the well-being of the Palestinians who elected it into power. And that Hamas is enforcing a strict blockade on the territory that they control. Clearly, they would never want any form of international trade, freedom of movement, secure access to power, or building materials. Instead, Hamas focuses solely on building rockets and killing Israelis, at the expense of any effort that might aid Gaza.
However, the officials who work at the Israeli Embassy are not idiots. They most likely understand that the blockade of the Gaza Strip, and the ensuing conditions of poverty, are not the responsibility of Hamas. But they still try to put out this kind of spin, wriggling their way out of any sort of blame or consequences and using Hamas as a scapegoat. Unfortunately, many in the United States accept this spin without question.

Ysabel Brown posted stunning new photos on her Instagram of a new dress. However, fans are wondering how her mom is okay with the straps? Sister Wives star, Ysabel, is breaking it down for everyone.
Ysabel Brown spills the tea
Ysabel is Kody and Christine Brown’s daughter. She posted some photos of Instagram of herself in a floor-length, shiny, form-fitting dress. One thing fans notice though is the spaghetti straps on the dress. Of course, the moms on Sister Wives are usually more conservative when it comes to clothing.
One fan starts by saying “Hi I’m curious. When I started watching the show it seemed like the moms were a bit more conservative with like dress code. Were your spaghetti straps okay with them now or did you still have to convince them?”
They continue by asking if the dress code has lightened any or what exactly is going on.
“Do you feel like the modest dress code has lessened over the years? Btw this is not judgment at all (you looked great in your dress) I’m just going based off what was said in the show about dress code/modesty,” they write.
Of course, Ysabel had a great and mature answer. Apparently, there is still a modest dress code. However, when there’s something special going on, she can get around it.
She also notes that when she dresses modestly it is for herself, not just for the moms.
“i try to be as modest as possible for myself and to respect my parents but if it’s a fancy event then i think i get a pass lol,” she writes.
Her interesting footwear
Aside from the dress, Ysabel looked amazing. However, there was one interesting twist to her outfit. The Sister Wives star was wearing tennis shoes with her fancy dress.
Not only is she wearing chunky white sneakers, but also some thick tube socks. Of course, no one would know because the dress is so long, so it’s definitely a good way to stay comfortable while dancing the night away with friends.
She wasn’t the only one either. All of her friends in the photo are also wearing chunky sneakers with their fancy dresses. Whatever makes them happy!
Do you think Ysabel’s dress is too revealing? What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments. Come back to TV Shows Ace for more news on all of your favorite Sister Wives stars.

For close to 60 years, Kate L. Turabian's "Manual for Writers" has offered detailed guidance to authors of research papers - term papers, theses and dissertations. Now the editors of "The Chicago Manual of Style" have revised Turabian's work to bring the details of style into conformity with the 14th edition of "The Chicago Manual". This edition of Turabian also reflects the way students work today, taking into account the role of personal computers in the preparation and presentation of their papers. The familiar organization of this popular book remains largely unchanged. Chapter one describes the parts of a long formal paper. Chapters two-five introduce the mechanics of writing style, from abbreviations to quotations. Chapters six and seven show how to prepare and refer to tables and illustrations. The section on documentation, chapters eight-twelve, describes two of the most commonly used systems of citation; these chapters provide many examples including guidance on how to cite electronic documents. Chapter 13, on manuscript preparation, shows how to take advantage of word processing software to present the elements of a paper clearly and effectively. Chapter 14 offers more than 24 sample pages illustrating ways of formatting some of the complex features found in many research papers.

After a worrisome second quarter, cleantech venture capital bounced back in the recently concluded third quarter, according to Ernst & Young. The accounting firm, again crunching data from Dow Jones VentureSource, said U.S. VC investment in cleantech companies increased 73 percent, to $1.1 billion, compared to the year-ago quarter, and that the number of deals jumped 36 percent.
The energy storage sector drove activity, raising $421 million. Within the sector, fuel cells led the charge, totaling $225.5 million in investment. Bloom Energy accounted for a good chunk of that change, raising $150 million.
“Confidence in cleantech investing continues despite the challenging investment market,” Jay Spencer, Ernst & Young’s Americas Cleantech director, said in a statement. Spencer said the hot quarter for energy storage “reflects a growing corporate focus on proactively managing their energy mix.”
Regionally, California, as is typically the case, was the top spot for cleantech investment. In fact, more than half the capital invested in cleantech in the third quarter – $583 million – went to California. Massachusetts was next at $170.4 million. Other big movers among the states were Pennsylvania and Oregon, Ernst & Young said; those states saw investments more than triple since the third quarter last year 2010, “bringing their Q3 2011 investment levels to $85.4 million and $73.5 million, respectively.”

Days of Wonder announced Memoir ’44: New Flight Plan, a new expansion to their popular Memoir ’44 board game. Memoir ’44, designed by Richard Borg, is a historical board game where players participate in famous battles which took place in World War II such as the battles at Omaha Beach, Pegasus Bridge, Operation Cobra and the Ardennes. In this expansion, players are able to deploy air units to turn the tides of war.
“Air supremacy was a constant challenge during World War II. In the Battle of France, the Luftwaffe’s powerful Stukas were a key component to the German’s blitzkrieg strategy that led them to victory. Over the English Channel, the heroism of RAF pilots saved their country from an invasion. In the skies of Kursk, Smolensk and Stalingrad, many Soviet pilots defended their land against German bombs. And when the Allied forces landed in Europe, it was under a constant aerial cover of fighters, fighter-bombers, and bombers. At that time, Allied air supremacy was at its pinnacle.” [source]
Fighters, fighter-bombers and even bombers join the fray to support troops on the battlefield. While this isn’t the first time airplanes make an appearance in the Memoir ’44 system, Memoir ’44: New Flight Plan does add many new tactical options and is compatible with all existing scenarios in all theaters of operation. The expansion includes 21 new scenarios, and 16 plane models (including a larger B-17 model).
For more information on the expansion, check the Days of Wonder website. Expect it’s release in May of 2019.
Compass Games, a leader in historical wargames, has announced some new releases coming later this year.
First is LEBENSRAUM! The War For Europe 1941-1945, designed by Stephen Newberg. Lebensraum is a “grand strategic, moderate complexity game of the war between Nazi Germany and the Allied Nations” for 2 players, and plays in 3-16 hours. Players can play either east or west fronts, either individually, or as a campaign, and gameplay focuses on leadership, playing at an army group level. The game contains 3 50×35 inch maps, 3 sheets of counters, rules and dice, and is expected to deliver in 3rd quarter 2018. You can read more about Lebensraum on Compass Games’ website here.
Compass Games also announced The American Revolution War Expansion Kit 1 – The French & More! This is the first expansion for Command & Colors Tricorne by Richard Borg, and adds the French army as expected, and 10 new battles. Award winner Command & Colors is by nature a card and dice driven, slightly simplified wargame, and affords the flexibility to portray large scale battles as well as small skirmishes. The new scenarios include large land battles Savannah and Yorktown, as well as the Battle of Brandywine, Springfield, King’s Mountain and Pell’s Point. This expansion contains 3 thick punch boards, new larger molded battle dice, cards, labels, rules, charts, and over 100 wooden components. Look for The French And More! in the 4th quarter 2018. You can read more details on Compass Games’ website here.
Days of Wonder
will be releasing the Through the Jungle and Desert
expansion for Memoir ’44
in April of 2018. This will be the second installment of Memoir ’44’s new Battle Map series following the 2018 release of The Battles of Khalkhin-Gol
. The jungle and desert expansion will include two new decks of combat cards, six pre-printed standard scenarios, punch-board tokens, and two pre-printed Overlord scenarios.
Lead your men through the merciless jungles of Burma, trying to escape the Japanese grasp or rush to Rangoon before the British forces evacuate the city on the jungle scenario. Then, change the terrain and fight the very first tank battle between US and German forces in the sands of North Africa, where Stuart and Panzer clash in the middle of the desert.
Jungle scenarios can be played separately, or can be played as a campaign with each scenarios results impacting the scenario that follows.
In addition to the Burma, Rangoon, and North Africa locations, Overlord scenarios will have teams fighting at Henderson Field in Guadalcanal or conduct a desert battle marking the beginning of the second battle of El Alamein.
Through Jungle and Desert has been designed for 2 to 8 players. Two players will take on the six standard scenarios, and up to 8 players can take on the two Overlord scenarios. To play at least one copy of the base Memoir 44 game is required as well as the Pacific Theater and Mediterranean Theater expansions. To enjoy the full experience Days of Wonder are also recommending using the Terrain Pack and Equipment Pack expansions.
While players will need to wait until April to pick up a copy, Days of Wonder have already made the rules available on their website here.

Memoir ’44 is a classic game that has enjoyed many expansions and extra content over the years, and Days of Wonder wants to continue that trend.

In addition to all the usual maps and books for an expansion like this, it will also include 6 Soviet BA-10 Armored Cars and 6 Japanese Type 97 Te-Ke tankettes to expand your forces.

When I first started saying aloud that I wanted to self-publish, I received quite a bit of advice from others. One friend in particular, who has traveled the self-publishing path very successfully, was able to steer me in the directions I wanted to go. I was able to navigate the sites I wanted to use much easier with her advice. Among that advice she gave me was the edit, edit, edit rule. Which is basically edit your work yourself, have a friend edit or, and the best, hire an editor. I decided to edit myself. I know the importance of editing, I know how crucial it is to scan and re-scan writing for all the many errors that can be so easily overlooked. I based my reasoning for editing myself on the fact that my book was a collection of poetry, not a novel. I knew that if it were a novel I would hire an editor, but I did not realize how many mistakes I would overlook in poetry.
I have words like “th” or “thr” instead of “the” and “though” instead of “through” and every mistake further strips the readers confidence that I am a good writer. I knew that, but for some reason didn’t follow not only my friends advice, but my own rules as a writer as well. I think for the most part I edit my own work fairly well, so what went wrong?
Excitement. Anticipation. The readiness to publish and the unintended too brief scanning before clicking submit.
So, my advice, stifle your excitement of publishing (I know it’s hard) and thoroughly review your work, not just once, but several times over, especially if you do not hire an editor (which for anything novel length is the only way to go). I still stand behind editing yourself or with friend for poetry (or any similar works -maybe cookbooks or short stories). Maybe schedule a weekend or two to simply edit, so it’s marked on the calendar and you have made a commitment to your work and yourself.
One silver lining I have is I am able to re-submit my book with no interruptions to selling and no need to pull it off sites, and once the resubmitted version is accepted and uploaded it transfers over seamlessly -making only the initial copies typo-ed. Ah, the world of print on demand!
I feel ashamed in myself for allowing the mistakes to run by me unnoticed and I hope by reading this you, any of you future self-publishers heed the warnings of my experience the way I should have heeded my friends.
With every experience we gain a better insight in which to venture into our next experience. Although I am shammed by my mistakes, I am proud of how much I’ve grown and look forward to all my future endeavors, welcoming the inevitable future mistakes.
We grow, we learn, we grow more.

March should be a great month for spotting planets for skywatchers, weather permitting.
Venus is becoming increasingly more prominent in the evening sky, remaining above the horizon for 2.5 to 3 hours after the sun dips below the horizon. Meanwhile, Mars appears below Venus early in the month, but looks only a fraction as bright.
Jupiter is not quite as dazzling as Venus, but remains in the sky for practically the entire night and is a wonderful sight to behold through a telescope. Saturn, the spectacular ringed beauty, rises in the middle of the night and is well up in the southern sky as dawn begins to break. [Best Night Sky Events, March 2015 (Sky Maps)]
Check out some of the best planetary sights to behold in the evening, morning and night skies this March:
Uranus — If you never laid eyes on the planet Uranus, you're going to have to excellent chances this month thanks to its close proximity to two much brighter planets. Tonight (March 4), about 90 minutes after sunset, look low toward the western sky for dazzling Venus. Then train binoculars toward it and 0.3 degrees directly below, and you'll see a tiny blue-green "star," that's actually Uranus.
Mars — On March 11, Uranus will pass by Mars about one week after it moves by Venus in the night sky. About 90 minutes after sunset, look very low in the western sky. Orange-yellow Mars should be shinging about 10 degrees to the lower-right of Venus. (For reference, your clenched fist held at arm's length against the sky covers about 10-degrees.) As was the case last week, using binoculars, you'll find Uranus sitting 0.3 degrees below and a bit the left of Mars. Mars, of course, is nowhere near as dazzling as Venus, but still outshines Uranus by 5.5 magnitudes or 158-fold.
Saturn — The ringed wonder Saturn should shine near a waning gibbous moon the morning of March 12, but there will be ample opportunity to see the planet before the end of the month. Saturn rises around 1 a.m. local daylight time and comes up sooner each night through the month. By the end of March, the planet should be rising close to 11:30 p.m. The ringed planet shines brightly in Scorpius, about 8 degrees above the red star Antares.
Spring begins — On March 20 at 6:45 p.m. EDT (2245 GMT) the sun appears to cross the celestial equator moving north, marking the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of fall in the Southern Hemisphere.
Mars and the moon — As darkness falls on March 21, look low toward the western sky for a razor-thin crescent moon. Mars will be sitting to the moon's upper right. The Red Planet is gradually dropping into the solar glare and by month's end, it will be setting around the time of the end of evening twilight.
Venus and the moon — Venus is finally getting high enough in the west to attract attention every clear evening after sunset. A slender crescent moon will rise low and to the left of Venus on March 22. The bright planet is gaining prominence because it is wheeling around the sun toward Earth, catching up with us in its faster orbit. Through a telescope, Venus is growing a little larger and showing a more prominent gibbous phase.
Jupiter and the moon — The moon will rendezvous with Jupiter on March 29. As darkness falls look halfway up in the east-northeast for a waxing gibbous moon. Shining brightly, about 6 degrees to its left, will be Jupiter.
Editor's note: If you take an amazing skywatching photo of a planet this month or any other night sky view you'd like to share for a possible story or image gallery, please contact managing editor Tariq Malik at email@example.com.

A Story Of Forgiveness And A Healing Heart
Can I Forgive?
The Steps In Forgiving
A Story Of Forgiveness
It took me a long time to figure out the pathway to forgiveness. It is not an easy road. There was a time in my life where my moms mental illness got so bad, I couldn't take it anymore. She wouldn't see a doctor because she felt there was nothing wrong. At this point in my life I wanted peace and I thought by disconnecting from her would solve my problem. No more hurt, no more painful memories to deal with. So that is exactly what I did. We didn't communicate for a long time. At first I felt relief and thought is was the best decision I had made. My husband thought so too. Before you know it holidays came and went, I was just so hurt that I pretended she didn't exist and also that I didn't care but it was slowly eating at my soul because this is not who I was.
I started to go to church and I remember the pastor talking about forgiveness and how God had forgiven us when he had sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. It started to bother me. I felt when I was sitting there that the pastor was looking directly at me, as though God was sending me a message meant especially for me. I was thinking maybe I was the one who was wrong. I felt justification from disconnecting. The disconnect was my way of hurting her but thinking back it was hurting me in more ways than one. I was also disconnecting from God by doing this. I felt as time went by it was not getting easier or better. The guilt started to set in hard. There were days of complete sadness. Some people feel at this point it was a long time, how could you ever get back to the relationship. I went to work everyday and know one never knew the pain that existed. I was like an actress in the biggest role of my life. The role of pretending it didn't matter. I kept telling myself that she wasn't going to hurt me anymore. I was in denial. I decided that I couldn't go on like this anymore. I had to do something to make amends with my mother no matter how hard it would be.
As I look back I was being pulled. I realized it was God.
I was disconnecting from him as well. God has a way of making you feel this way when he wants you to come back. He was planting the seed to my forgiveness. The TV was on one day and I was switching the channels and came across a Joyce Meyer show dedicated to forgiveness. I was watching and thinking yea, yea whatever. She told her story of her forgiveness of her father molesting her as a child and how she forgave him. I thought to myself, if she could do it, so could I. I called my brother and told him I wanted to speak with my mother. He called her and she didn't want to talk to me. I waited and did allot of praying. My husband thought I was crazy to want to have a relationship with her but I told him no matter what happens I have to try. This time I had too. A few months had passed my brother had told me that my mom didn't want anything to do with me. Again I felt hurt but kept with perseverance. God was giving me the strength to keep trying.
My mother decided she wanted to meet me for dinner at a restaurant to talk. I remember we hugged each other and started to talk. It was a slow recovery. I realize that everyone has a different reality and feelings can get hurt. My mom ended up getting the help she needed and is now on medication that makes her think rationally. We go shopping together, she spends weekends at my home. I feel at peace now and the painful memories feel distant and blurry. God has a way of healing your heart when you forgive and not live in the past hurt. People stay together, not because they forget. It is because they forgive. It was a lesson I have learned well. I never thought I would ever have the kind of relationship I have with my mom. It is a bond that will live in my heart, not in darkness. If someone is reading this,
I know exactly how you feel. Your the one that has the power to change it, with the grace of God.
Let God take the pain away. Give him the chance., just try??

ATP-competitive inhibitor of PAK1, PAK2, PAK3
Protein target names: PAK1, PAK2, PAK3
Mechanism of action: ATP-competitive inhibitor
In Vitro Validations
In Cell Validations
In Vivo Data
Reagent authentication certificate:
SERP ratings and comments
Starting with an advanced inhibitor, the authors optimized a PAK1-inhibitory compound for potency and selectivity. Based on analysis of their SAR tables, the authors did a good job balancing trade-offs between different types of potential liabilities, including 2 log(P) units, 7-fold better potency in vitro and 3-fold more activity in cells. Reducing hERG inhibition was a stated goal, and the reported compound has about half the activity against hERG compared with the predecessor; notably, some compounds tested were even better relative to hERG, but they were less attractive in other tested parameters. Based on a comparison of the kinase-profiling data reported by the authors, there were a handful of other kinases with IC50 values near that for PAK1, some within a few (2-3)-fold and 7 within 15-fold. On the other hand, the EC50 in cells is reported ~17-fold higher (69 nM) than the IC50 against PAK1. Based on this analysis, the recommended concentration range provided (70-250 nM) might be on the high side. While 70 nM is appropriate, if the ratio of EC50/IC50 is preserved for the "off-target" kinases, then 250 nM in cells might be above the EC50 for 2-3 of these other kinases.
(last updated: 7 Jan 2017 )
This is a potent inhibitor of Group I PAK enzymes (PAK1, 2 and 3; PAK1 Ki = 4 nM) that has been screened versus 235 kinases at 100 nM, with biochemical inhibition of 5 kinases (IC50 <50 nM) observed. Expanded off-target kinase screening would be helpful to enhance the selectivity profile. Parallel use of the orthogonal PAK1-selective probe NVS-PAK1-1 is suggested to aid interpretation of cellular effects between PAK family members. The selectivity of G-5555 for Group I PAK enzymes over non-kinase targets (IC50 >10 uM for 36/42 diverse receptors, ion channels, enzymes and transporters) supports its use as a cellular probe. On-target activity in cells was demonstrated (inhibition of pMEK S298, IC50 = 69 nM) and supports the suggested concentration range for cellular studies. Compound pharmacokinetics are suitable for in vivo studies and on-target modulation of PAK-dependent pMEK S298 was demonstrated in H292 xenografts following 20 and 30 mg/kg single, oral doses. A caveat to the use of the compound in vivo for high doses or repeat dosing is the reported narrow therapeutic index due to acute cardiotoxicity of pan-PAK inhibitors (attributed to PAK2 inhibition with possible exacerbation by PAK1 inhibition) that limits tolerability and exposure (J. Med. Chem. 2016, 59, 5520).
(last updated: 9 Jan 2017 )
G-5555 is one of a number of quality compounds now available for the study of the function of group 1 PAKs, and its use in cells is recommended, especially if used alongside other chemotypes such as FRAX-1036 (ACS Med Chem Lett 2015, p1241), the Novartis allosteric inhibitor (ACS Med Chem Lett 2015, p776) and the AstraZeneca inhibitor (ACS Med Chem Lett 2016, p1118). Although G-5555 has pharmacokinetic properties that make it suitable for in vivo studies, caution should be exercised for acute doses >30 mg/kg or repeat dosing due to the reported narrow therapeutic index in a later J. Med. Chem. paper.

"The author faithfully portrays the multiracial children of Thomas Jefferson from letters and historical records. But it's Adenrele Ojo's narration that infuses this history with their emotional lives. How did it feel to know that they could not call their father, the president, Papa? Or to know that the dark skin of some could keep them from "passing" for white as their lighter-skinned siblings did? Ojo portrays Sally Hemings's tenderness as she explains these complexities to her four children and her fierceness as she demands that they put their true selves before their slave identities. As the story moves through the viewpoints of several characters associated with Jefferson's plantation, Ojo develops and distinguishes each one while maintaining the flow. S.W.

US 5663607 A
A discharge lamp having an emission part with a roughly spherical external shape and tube arms extending from opposite sides of the emission part, hermetically sealing parts formed on an end of each robe arm, and a lead pin extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tube arm, a tip of each lead carrying an electrode in the emission part, so that a pair of electrodes are arranged opposite one another in the emission part. Within each babe arm, in the vicinity of the emission part, a plate-shaped holding part which is made of a metal with a high melting point and through which the lead pin penetrates, is arranged roughly perpendicularly to the lead pin and serves for positioning of the electrodes.
1. A discharge lamp with an emission part having a roughly spherical external shape and tube arms connected to opposite sides of the emission part, hermetically sealing parts being provided on an end of each tube and and an electrical lead extending through each hermetically sealing part from the outside, parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tube arm, and an electrode on an inner tip of each lead within the emission part to form a pair of opposed, spaced apart electrodes; wherein a plate-shaped holding part is positioned in each said tube and in proximity to the emission part, said holding part being made of a metal with a high melting point; wherein each holding part is arranged approximately perpendicularly to a respective lead which extends therethrough, the holding part comprising a means for holding the respective lead in a manner properly positioning a respective one of the electrodes.
2. A discharge lamp according to claim 1, wherein the plate-shaped holding part has a polygonal shape with corner points which engage an inner side of a respective one of the tube arms; and wherein a gas passage is formed through a gap between each side of the holding part and the inner side of the respective tube arm.
3. Discharge lamp according to claim 2, wherein each corner of the polygonal shape of the holding part is bent towards the hermetically sealing part; and wherein the bent corner resiliently engages the inner side of the respective tube arm.
4. Discharge lamp according to claim 1, wherein a helical, lead-holding part is positioned at each side of the plate-shaped holding part, the lead extending therethrough.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a discharge lamp.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Discharge lamps are, for the most part, divided into lamps of the short arc type with a small distance between a cathode and an anode and into lamps of the long arc type with a large distance between the cathode and anode. A xenon lamp and a mercury high pressure lamp are known short arc lamps.
A short arc lamp, generally, is comprised of a roughly spherical emission part and tube arms located on both ends of the emission part. In the interior of the emission part is a pair of electrodes which are spaced a predetermined distance apart, and within the tube arm are a lead pin and a metal foil.
In the production of a lamp, it is necessary for purposes of encapsulation of a desired gas in the emission part, to install a gas tube which is used especially for this purpose. Since the tube arm, however, undergoes processing under heat, it is difficult to install the gas tube therein. The gas tube is, therefore, generally installed in one part of the emission part, and the gas is introduced and encapsulated in the emission part through this gas tube. After encapsulation, the gas tube is removed from the emission part. In this way, the desired gas can be encapsulated in the emission part and a hermetically sealed arrangement of the emission part can be obtained in which the encapsulated gas does not leak, and at the same time, in the tube arm, there can be a lead pin as a power supply lead and a metal foil.
However, it is difficult to completely remove the gas tube from the surface of the emission part. There always remains a residue of the gas tube on the surface of the emission part. This residue generally has a size of roughly a few millimeters; however, this residue produces refraction of light radiated from the emission part, and it can appear on an irradiated surface as a shadow. Therefore, the presence of a gas tube residue can become an obstacle, depending on the applications. In particular, in the case where the emission part is used as a light source of a projector, it is a major disadvantage that the residue occurs on an image screen as a shadow. Furthermore, in the quartz glass of the emission part, distortion of the glass occurs, since the gas tube is heat treated upon its removal. In the case in which this distortion is large, the emission part can break during luminous operation of the lamp.
On the other hand, to prevent the formation of a shadow on the image screen the lamp can be arranged with consideration of the positional relation to the screen. This process is, however, not especially desirable since it takes a long time for the lamp to be installed, and furthermore, since projector lamps are frequently replaced.
Based on the above described circumstances there is a need for a lamp in which there is no gas tube residue on the emission part.
On the other hand, a lamp is also already known in which the gas tube through which the gas is introduced and encapsulated is installed in one part of the tube arm. By means of this type of lamp, the above described disadvantage is eliminated, since there is no gas tube residue on the emission part.
In this lamp, it is necessary to provide a cavity which is connected to the inside of the emission part within the tube arm. In this case, therefore, it is not possible to obtain a hermetically sealed arrangement by melting the quartz glass at the base of the emission part.
In an arrangement in which the entire inner sides of the emission part and the tube and are formed as a cavity, and in which a lead is held only from one end of the tube arm, it is difficult to arrange the electrodes in the desired position as the result of the weight of the lead and the electrodes. Furthermore, holding of the lead is destroyed by vibrations and impacts in the transport of the lamp.
Therefore, a process is also known in which a part used in the tube arm especially for holding the lead in order to place the electrodes in the desired position. However, in this process the size of the gas passage is limited, and the arrangement of this holding part in the lamp with a hermetically sealed arrangement is not easily obtained.
Use of a perforated glass sphere is described as a process for holding the lead pin in German patent P 3029824.9. This perforated glass sphere is located within the tube arm in the vicinity of the emission part and is provided in part with an opening through which the gas can be discharged. This arrangement, however, has the following disadvantages:
The part which holds the lead consists of glass. However, processing thereof is not easily performed since the size thereof must be roughly the same as the inside diameter of the pipe arm, and since a gas passage opening is necessary.
The perforated sphere consists of the same glass as the emission part. In lamp production, therefore, cracks easily occur in the emission part or in the perforated sphere.
Furthermore, a pressing device is necessary to press the perforated sphere onto the side of the emission part. At the same time, there is the disadvantage that this pressing device is also heated as the temperature of the lamp rises, and under certain circumstances, loses its function due to deformation:
If between the cross sectional middle of the robe arm and the cross sectional middle of the perforated sphere there is a fault, the position of the electrodes deviates from the desired position. When used over a long time, polarization of the electrodes occurs which can also be designated as concentration or accumulation on a certain side and wearing of the electrodes takes place; this causes unstable are discharge.
Therefore, the primary object of the present invention is to devise a discharge lamp in which a gas tube is installed, not in an emission part, but in tube arms located on each end of the emission part; in the gas tube, at the same time, in the tube arm, there is a plate-shaped holding part formed of a metal with a high melting point, and a lead is held by this holding part.
The noted object is achieved, according to the invention, by the fact that, in a discharge lamp with an emission part having an external shape that is roughly spherical, tube arras connected to both sides of this emission part, and hermetically sealing parts which are formed on one end of each tube arm, in which the hermetically sealing part is penetrated from the outside by a lead pin which extends within the tube arm parallel to its longitudinal direction, and the lead pin has an electrode on a tip end thereof within the emission part, the emission part containing a pair of opposed, spaced apart electrodes. Moreover, on each side of the emission part, within a respective tube arm, a plate-shaped holding part made of a metal with a high melting point is provided and through which the lead pin penetrates and is held roughly perpendicularly thereto for positioning of the electrodes.
The object is furthermore achieved according to the invention by the fact that the above described holding part is a polygon with corner points which contact the inside of the respective tube arm, and that, at the same time, a gas passage is formed through a gap formed between each side of the holding part and the inside of the respective tube arm. More specifically, the corner points of the polygonal holding part are bent towards the hermetically sealing part and it is this bent part that contacts the inside of the tube arm.
Achieving of the above object is further facilitated by the fact that in a part of the holding part through which the lead pin penetrates, at each side of the plate-shaped holding part, there is a helical part with which the position of holding part relative to the lead is fixed.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a discharge lamp according to a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of the holding part of the discharge lamp shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of a hermetically sealing part according to the invention;
The discharge lamp 10 according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 is comprised of a roughly spherical emission part 1 which is made of quartz glass and from which roughly cylindrical tube arms 2 extend on opposite sides of the emission part 1. Emission part 1 and tube arms 2 are conventionally produced by hot forming of a glass tube and have a one-piece construction. Hermetically sealing parts 3 close the opening present at the free end of each of the tube arms 2. A gas tube residue 21 is present on part of one tube arm 2. This residue 21 remains after removal of the gas tube by which gas is introduced and encapsulated during manufacturing of the lamp 10. Electrical lead 30 extends through the hermetically sealing parts 3. An anode 31 and a cathode 32 are installed within the emission part 1 on an inner end of a respective lead 30.
A holding part 4 is located in each tube arm 2, in the vicinity of emission part 1, for retaining lead 30. Holding part 4 is, for example, a square molybdenum plate with edges which are bent. For this reason, instead of molybdenum, the plate can be made of a metal with a high melting point, such as tantalum or the like. Likewise, the rectangular shape shown is not essential, and other shapes can be used. In the manufacture of the lamp or in luminous operation of the lamp, however, a high melting point is necessary as the result of the very high temperature of the lamp. Specifically, a metal with a melting point of at least 1000° C. is desirable.
FIG. 2 shows a state in which the holding part 4 and the anode 31 are mounted on lead pin 30. In front of and behind holding part 4, the lead 30 is wound with a molybdenum spiral 41 having a diameter of roughly 1.0 mm, and in this way, the position of the lead relative to the holding part 4 is fixed. The holding part 4 is bent on each edge, or at the corners as shown in FIG. 2. These bent edge areas contact with the inside of the robe arm 2 producing an elastic force by which the holding part is secured on the inside of the tube arm 2.
Lead 30, in this case, is made, for example, of tungsten and has an outside diameter of roughly 4 mm. The holding part 4 has an opening with a diameter which is somewhat greater than the outside diameter of lead 30. Holding part 4 is, for example, a square plate with a thickness of roughly 0.1 mm and a side length of 14 mm. Between each side of the holding part 4 and the inside of the respective tube arm 2, a gas passage is formed of a size which can be set by selecting the amount that the edges/corners are bent. This bending is accomplished in a direction opposite the direction of insertion of the electrode, by which plugging of the holding part 4 into the tube arm 2 is facilitated.
Next, hermetically sealing part 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 3. A part 33 for hermetic sealing of the ends of the tube arms 2 is made of a metal with a high melting point, for example, molybdenum, and is cup- or pot-shaped. Tip P of the metal pot is ground in the manner of a knife blade and fits into an external recess of tube arm 2. The sides of the metal pot are also surrounded with quartz glass, and in this way a complete hermetic seal is achieved.
Furthermore the bottom of the pot shape can be provided with a protective coating by which oxidation of the metal part 33 can be prevented. This means that, even if the temperature of emission part 1 rises, oxidation of the metal part 33 can be prevented, and thus, the length of the tube arm can be adequately reduced. For example, gold or copper can be used for the protective coating.
Within lamp 10, for example, xenon gas at a pressure of 10 atm. is encapsulated. Luminous operation with 70 V and 2000 W is accomplished, for example.
In the discharge lamp according to the invention, by means of the measure in which a holding part 4 with an extremely simple configuration is arranged, processing of the holding part 4 and installation of the holding part 4 within the lamp 10 are simple to obtain.
Furthermore, by means of the measure in which in the emission part 1 is free of any gas tube residue, projection of a shadow of the gas tube residue onto an irradiated surface is prevented.
Moreover, the process for holding the lead pin by a material with a high melting point is not limited only to use of a metal part, and can, of course, a process can also be used in which glasses with different melting points are gradually joined and welding to the lead pin. It is to be understood that although a preferred embodiment of the invention has been described, various other embodiments and variations may occur to those skilled in the art. Any such other embodiments and variations which fall within the scope and spirit of the present invention are intended to be covered by the following claims.

I almost bought one at the Indy gun show. It had a out the door price of $470. The Gander Mtn. store here in Ft. Wayne has them for $499.From what little I have read about them they seem to be a nice gun.Anybody here own or shoot one? I think I'll probably get one , but I would like to hear from some owners. For the money it looks to make a good starter 1911. .Mark
January 20, 2007, 03:30 PM
Ive got one. Nice guns, particularly for the price. Some have complained about the finish not being tough enough (perhaps true, mine looks ok) and some have complained about primer over-strikes/miss-strikes causing potential blow-out (mine doesn't seem to be an example). If you're in the market for a base 1911 and plan on putting some of the enhancements on yourself, then the PT1911 is a good alternative.
January 20, 2007, 04:01 PM
I have one. Over 4000 rounds without a problem. The PT1911 comes loaded with things you would have to have a gunsmith do to most other 1911's. For the money, this is one fine pistol. Yes, the finish wears easily & didn't like the factory grips. Other than that, I can't find anyother reason not to buy one.
January 20, 2007, 04:09 PM
It is an awesome pistol. For the price, nothing comes close. I love mine.

THE GEMS w/Rory Wilson
Rory Wilson left Broken Home after their final gig at Reading Festival in 1980, and returned to his home town of Dover. He produced a single for a local band named Masterstroke in 1981, adding some guitar as well. He eventually hooked up with the Gems in the mid-80s. In this exclusive, Jenx from the Gems details the story of the band.
The Gems interview - March 2001
The Gems were formed out of the ashes of a band called "the Thoughts" who were signed to Teldec in Gemany , we scored with a hit called "Wait A Long Time For You", released an album entitled "Passions In Fashion" and then drifted apart.
This line up lasted for quite a while till I swopped the keyboards to looking after the band as I had made good contacts while working for a London venue. I was replaced by Steve Bignall on keyboards. Next to leave was Mark who later went to join "Anti Nowhere League". This line-up signed to Silent Records and released three singles; all produced by Steve Barnacle - brother of Pete and Gary.
This was a hard gigging band playing most of the major London venue's plus supporting Gary Glitter on his Xmas 1985 tour - some 20 dates and again when he went out in the summer. The band then toured to promote the singles on their own and somewhere along the way the keyboard player went and was replaced by a man named "Joe". After this things started to drift apart, 'till like most things it came to a halt. A great shame really because they were on their day a "shit hot band".

Denmark, January, 2013 – Interacoustics’ new Electronystagmography (ENG) option, the EN415/EO425, offers you maximum flexibility when it comes to vestibular testing. While most patients can be easily tested with Interacoustics’ VN415 or VO425 VNG goggles, certain conditions will require the use of ENG. Using electrodes that connect to the EN415/EO425 preamplifier through the computer’s USB port, you are able to conduct the relevant tests using the same software you use with your Interacoustics VNG system. If you have a VN415, the same test battery will be available with EN415, and if you have a VO425, the same test battery will be available with EO425.
Furthermore, Interacoustics new Digital Light Bar (DLB) is now available as an alternative to the LCD projector or large screen TV to display visual stimuli to the patient. The DLB is small and comes standard with a tripod for maximum portability.
For further information contact:
Worldwide: www.interacoustics.com |
Interacoustics’ latest software release (V. 1.1) for the VF405 Video Frenzel system has a series of new features, enhancing the user experience. The software is fully Windows® 7 compatible and has camera speeds of up to 105 Hz with automatic camera brightness adjustment.
VF405 is available in Basic and Extended versions. Both versions are operated through the OtoAccess™ patient database, and they are also both upgradable to Interacoustics’ VN415 or VO425 systems for vestibular and oculomotor analysis. VF405 uses the same cutting edge combi goggle as the Interacoustics VNG systems.

Ever since 1999, Ace Iwasaki has created vintage replica parts, pieces of art infusing life into Les Pauls, like talismans for both Gibson and Historic Collection. Born and made in Japan, these little gems stunned first the Germans, then the Americans, and the whole world. Countless and endless updates still keep them getting better and better. Many fans say their Historic Collection looks like a vintage with Ace's parts on. Many guitarists are enthusiastic about the improved sound of their Historic Collection.
In fact, the fantastic quality of Historic Collection itself deserves these praises, Ace's parts being mere servants of their owner for an unrestrained dress-up. And now, turning back the clock to 1959, a wonderful time where "passion" was the key word, and using traditional techniques and materials, Ace has created DMC Parts.
The 3D scanning device, the 5 human senses, and Ace Iwasaki's determination and passion brought back to today the touch, look, and sound that had never been materialized before.
THP use the sametechniques and materials Gibson and the supplier of Gibson used..

Is your buffalo meat free from antibiotics, hormones, and GMOs?
Yes, yes, yes and yes! We’ve seen and personally experienced the health benefits of a grass fed and finished buffalo free from antibiotics, hormones, and GMOs and it changed our lives. We can’t wait for it to change yours too.
How do I cook buffalo meat?
Cooking buffalo meat is similar to cooking beef and bison. Most of the recipes you already use (or new beef or bison recipes you find) can substitute buffalo meat instead. Here are some buffalo cooking tips:
- The internal cooked temperature of buffalo meat should be between 135° F (rare) to 145° F (medium rare) to 165° F (medium).
- Buffalo flavour is stronger than beef flavour. You may find that recipes that call for beef need less buffalo meat, for a similar flavour.
- Buffalo meat is lower in fat than most red meat – which is great for your body – but means that it will cook faster. Preserving the moisture will keep it from drying out. You can keep your buffalo meat from drying out by reducing your recipes cooking temperature and/or reducing the cooking time.
- For tender buffalo meat, “low and slow” cooking methods are a great way to go. Cooking buffalo meat at a lower temperature for a longer time keeps it tender and delicious. Braising is also a favourite go to technique for cooking buffalo.
- When preparing buffalo burgers cook the burgers to no more than medium, until the pink is just starting to disappear.
- Keep in mind that buffalo meat doesn’t shrink while cooking like other meats and won’t leave behind excess grease which is great for you - and your meal!
Check out our recipes for some great ideas how to serve up your next buffalo meal!
Is buffalo meat better for you than beef?
Yes! One serving of buffalo meat contains a mere 7.21 grams of fat, and about 55 milligrams of cholesterol. To put that in perspective, the same size serving of 90 percent lean beef contains about 10 grams of fat, and about 65 milligrams of cholesterol. This means buffalo is a very lean meat and also means that you will get more value for your money by purchasing buffalo meat because less of the weight is getting trimmed or drained off as fat.
Buffalo meat has a lower calorie count than other meats. For example, a 100 grams serving of buffalo meat -- about 3.5 ounces , or about 1/4 pounds -- contains about 146 calories. This makes it one of the lowest-calorie meats. A similar serving of 90 percent lean beef contains about 176 calories, while pork contains about 218 calories and turkey contains about 149 calories. Even venison, another very lean meat, contains more calories per serving, with 158.
Buffalo meat, like bison, is a common dietary choice for individuals who suffer from allergies to more common meats. (source: Livestrong)
Both Water Buffalo and Bison meat “are high in zinc, which is important in increasing white blood cells to fight off infections,” says Kerry Clifford, registered dietician and spokesperson at Fresh Thyme Farmers Market, it’s “packed with protein, iron and Vitamin B12, too.” (source: NBC News)
What does grass-fed and finished mean?
Isn’t all beef grass fed you might ask? Unfortunately, that’s usually not the case for the majority of beef found in the grocery stores. Beef and even bison might be grass fed for some of their life and then fed grain closer when they are butchered to fatten them up quickly. Grass finished means that the animals are fed grass their whole lives, with no sudden diet changes. We like to say our animals are only grass fed to take away some of the confusion.
Animals that live off an only grass fed diet take longer to grow to butchering size, sometimes between 6 to 12 months longer. This grass diet leads to a generally healthier product in the end which is remains very tender. Some health benefits of 100% grass fed animals include:
- Generally lower in fat & calories
- Likely to contain more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
- More conjugated linoleic acid
- More antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E
Where can I buy grass fed buffalo near me?
What does buffalo meat taste like?
Buffalo meat has a taste similar to grass fed beef and bison. You can taste the quality of our grass fed and finished buffalo which means you can eat less of it and receive more flavour! Check out our selection of cooking with delicious buffalo meat recipes.
Is grass fed and finished buffalo meat more expensive than grass fed beef I buy in the grocery store?
If you’re purely comparing sticker price to sticker price than yes. However, the quality of the meat you're buying from Reverent Acres is superior to the beef which you can find in a grocery store, and our farm is as local as you can get which we think is important.
By grass feeding and finishing our buffalo we raise the nutritional value of the meat and lower the cholesterol. Grass fed buffalo are higher in omega 3 fatty acids, which are good for you all around, but especially good if you follow a keto diet. Buffalo that are grass fed also have more conjugated linoleic acid (which has been shown to reduce body fat deposits and improve immune function source:WebMD) and more antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E.
Our water buffalo are grass fed and finished which means it can take them between 6 to 12 months longer to raise than mass produced and grain finished beef. We don’t ever give our buffalo antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs.
Buffalo is a very lean meat which means that you will get more value for your money by purchasing buffalo meat because less of the weight is getting trimmed or drained off as fat.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we give each buffalo at our farm the care and attention they deserve. They live free to roam and play on our 60 acre farm.
You can taste the differences in our meat!
What is buffalo meat called?
Buffalo meat! It’s not called beef or bison, though some people are understandably confused about what the difference is between bison and buffalo (see our Water Buffalo page to learn more!). We also call our meat; water buffalo meat, grass-fed buffalo meat, grass finished buffalo meat, hormone free buffalo meat, and antibiotic free meat.
Do your buffalo eat meat?
No! Our water buffalo are grass fed and finished, which means they graze on hay or in 60 acres of open fields. They are NOT fed grain to fatten them up before they are butchered like some cattle ranches do.
Are your products organic?
This is a great question with a complicated answer. Our animals are fed local hay and grass that is free from sprays and pesticides. Unfortunately, we can’t officially say that our meat is organic as every farm that we purchase our feed from would also have to be certified organic. In order for those farms to be certified organic these farms have to be a certain distance from another non-organic property, and unfortunately that’s not the case with all our suppliers.
Where is your meat butchered?
Our buffalo are butchered at a local butcher Lepp Farm Market. Our goal is to make use of the entire animal, and we work with butchers and chefs that do the same.

Ex Portsmouth defender Dusko Tosic free to play for another Premier League club after desperate plea from Serbian FA
Free agent: Dusko Tosic is attracting interest from several English clubs
Dusko Tosic hopes to be free to continue his career next week after the Serbian FA made a plea to Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore.
Tosic, 25, had his registration witheld as a Portsmouth player following their administration and has been left in limbo.
But Scudamore has assured Zoran Lakovic, Serbia FA general secretary, that along with the FA they will nullify any contract with Portsmouth and make him a free agent again on Monday - enabling him to sign for Premier League clubs.
Serbia want Tosic to play so he is fit for their World Cup squad.

Fernando Alonso has spoken about how modern Formula 1 drivers are more capable of lasting longer in the sport, given the advancements in training and technology.
The Spaniard, who has been in Formula 1 for over two decades, believes that the rising stars of today know how to train and communicate better than when he first burst onto the scene in 2001.
With at least a year left on his Aston Martin contract, and a whole lot of talent left, it’s likely that Alonso could push to remain in a car until he is 45 years old – a feat only few sportsmen have achieved while continuing to play at a high-level (Tom Brady comes to mind).

Tobacco companies have asked a Texas federal court to further postpone the effective date of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) new requirement for graphic warning labels on cigarette packs, citing unanswered questions about the validity of the rule, according to a report by Law360.
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Liggett Group and ITG Brands, along with cigarette retailers, told U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker that he should delay the rule’s effective date, currently Oct. 16, 2021, for 90 days to Jan. 14, 2022.
The companies argued they would suffer irreparable harm if they were forced to spend millions of dollars to comply with a rule that will soon be invalidated.
Judge Barker had already pushed the rule’s effective date back once in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, following a request from the FDA. In a May 8 order, the judge delayed the date from June 18, 2021, to Oct. 16, 2021.
In March, the FDA released a final rule requiring new graphic warnings for cigarettes that feature some of the lesser-known but still serious health risks of smoking, such as diabetes, on the top half of the front and back of cigarette packages and at least 20 percent of the area on the top of cigarette advertisements.
In April, the cigarette manufacturers and retailers sued the FDA, arguing that the graphic warning requirements cross the line into governmental anti-smoking advocacy. The FDA has a motion pending to either toss this case or transfer it to Washington, D.C., where a similar case has been filed.
Judge Barker has given the FDA, which opposes the additional deadline extension, until Wednesday to file a response to the motion.
