LaGrange College is a private college in LaGrange, Georgia. Founded in 1831 as a female educational institution, LaGrange is the oldest private college in Georgia. It offers more than 55 academic and pre-professional programs, including graduate degrees in education. Affiliated with the United Methodist Church, LaGrange College has been ranked in the top 10 and as one of 10 "best values" among Southern comprehensive colleges by U.S. News & World Report.LaGrange draws more than half of its student body from Georgia. However, students from at least one-third of the other states in the U.S. and from abroad help provide a diverse community that includes various religious and ethnic backgrounds.Famous alumni include Dean W. Young (1960), nationally syndicated cartoonist of the "Blondie" comic strip; Dwayne Shattuck (1983), Emmy Award-winning producer of "Mad Men" and "Magic City;" Elizabeth Carlock Harris (1961), former First Lady of Georgia; Terry Kay (1959), best-selling author ("To Dance with the White Dog"); Lee Crowe (1981), special effects animator for Warner Brothers; R. Lee Walburn (1959), writer and editor of "Atlanta Magazine;" and Blake Clarke (1969), television and film actor ("Home Improvement," "The Waterboy" and "Boy Meets World").The college is located in the town of LaGrange, Georgia, which has a population of 30,000. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, Pine Mountain and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House. The West Point Dam on the Chattahoochee River provides West Point Lake, one of the largest lakes in the region, with waterfronts and a marina within the city limit of LaGrange.S.

Transparency about how revenues from monetary sanctions are collected and spent is crucial for public confidence, given their increased role in funding the criminal legal system and their impacts on people with low incomes. Yet, questions persist about the amounts collected, how funds are distributed, and whether these revenues provide a stable and cost-effective source of funding. This study evaluates the transparency of criminal legal system fee revenues and expenditures across U.S. states. By proposing a set of criteria adapted from the Government Accountability Office and other sources, our study assesses the public availability, accuracy and completeness, and oversight of criminal legal fee reporting in all 50 states. Findings reveal significant transparency challenges and highlight substantial variation in fee reporting, including inconsistent definitions, incomplete data, and limited explanations of revenue allocation and spending. We provide suggestions for reforms to improve transparency in fiscal transparency policy for criminal legal fees.
Several human trials have used the mitochondrial antioxidant mitoquinol mesylate (MitoQ). There are no apparent negative consequences on the kidneys following an acute high dose of MitoQ in young adults; however, it remains unclear whether chronic MitoQ influences kidney function. Therefore, we examined whether 8 wk MitoQ supplementation (20 mg/day) impacts kidney function and kidney injury biomarkers using a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study in middle-aged and older adults (n = 30, 8 males/22 females, 57 ± 8 yr). Participants completed four visits (pre- and postplacebo; pre- and post-MitoQ) where we collected serum samples (creatinine and cystatin c) and 24-h urine samples to assess general kidney function [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and creatinine clearance], and kidney injury markers [neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), nephrin, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7)]. We used mixed-effects models to examine time, condition, and interaction effects. We observed no alterations in glomerular filtration measures (Ps ≥ 0.309) or kidney injury markers when indexed to flow rate, osmolality, or creatinine (Ps ≥ 0.198). For example, TIMP-2 × IGFBP7 was not different between groups (preplacebo: 114 ± 162, postplacebo: 138 ± 161; pre-MitoQ: 162 ± 238, post-MitoQ: 127 ± 137 ng2/min; interaction P = 0.754). Eight weeks of MitoQ supplementation does not appear to benefit or harm kidney function or kidney injury markers in middle-aged and older adults.NEW & NOTEWORTHY To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine extended mitoquinol mesylate (MitoQ) supplementation on kidney health in humans. Eight weeks of MitoQ (20 mg/day) produced no meaningful changes in kidney function or urinary biomarkers of tubular injury in middle-aged and older adults. Although no benefit was observed, the absence of harm is reassuring given existing evidence that MitoQ improves peripheral vascular endothelial function, a primary antecedent to cardiovascular disease, in multiple human studies.
AI_Bleeding (Caria, 2026) fails on evidence and fails again on orientation: it does not establish the attack it names, and the defense it recommends would, if generalized, prune the linguistic tail that model ecology needs to preserve. Part I (EA-REFEREE-AIBLEEDING-01) shows the paper's own data defeat its headline — the total-compute metric is negative and non-significant, the latency signal is cold-start artifact by the paper's own reanalysis, the mechanism fails on a third of its test languages, and the energy apparatus rests on unmeasured wattage and output-length settings. Part II (EA-TAILGUARD-01) grants the empirics arguendo and shows the recommended pre-inference language gating is an input-layer tail-pruning instrument aimed at the data class the model-collapse literature identifies as load-bearing. The paper is itself a symptom of the dynamic it does not cite: its threat predicates are model-relative by its own definitions, making the proposed control an operationalization of the model's prior — prior-enforcement at the research layer. A boundary instrument (EA-SEMEX-DISAMBIG-02) records the 146-day prior, DOI-anchored occupancy of the title term in a disjoint, value-inverted sense.
