text: Mohamed ElBaradei, a leading opposition figure, has joined thousands of protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square, in continued demonstrations demanding an end to President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule.The former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency told the crowd on Sunday night that "what we have begun cannot go back" referring to days of anti-government protests.The National Coalition for Change, which groups several opposition movements including the Muslim Brotherhood, wants ElBaradei to negotiate with the Mubarak government."The people want the regime to fall," protesters chanted as ElBaradei walked to the centre of the square, holding hands with some demonstrators.The show of continued defiance by the people came on a day when air force fighter planes flew low over Cairo along with helicopters and extra troop lorries appeared in the central square.As the protests continue, security is said to be deteriorating and reports have emerged of several prisons across the country being attacked and of fresh protests being staged in cities like Alexandria and Suez. In pictures: 'Day of Anger' Update: Egypt protests Unrest in social media Debate: First Tunisia, now Egypt? Can Egyptians revolt? Egypt's protests on Twitter Pictures: Anger in Egypt Thirty-four leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood were freed from the Wadi Natroun jail after guards abandoned their posts. The protesters in Cairo, joined by hundreds of judges, had gathered again in Tahrir Square in the afternoon to demand the resignation of Hosni Mubarak. Al Jazeera's correspondent, reporting from the scene, said that demonstrators confronted a fire truck, at which point army troops fired into the air in a bid to disperse them. He said the protesters did not move back, and a tank commander then ordered the fire truck to leave. When the truck moved away from the square, the thousands of protesters erupted into applause and climbed onto the tank in celebration, hugging soldiers. Main roads in Cairo have been blocked by military tanks and armoured personnel carriers, and large numbers of army personnel have been seen in other cities as well. Reporting from Cairo earlier on Sunday, an Al Jazeera correspondent said it was a "long way from business as usual" in the Egyptian capital on the first working day since protests peaked on Friday. He said that extra military roadblocks had been set up in an apparent attempt to divert traffic away from Tahrir Square, which has become a focal point for demonstrators. "It's still a very tense scene to have so much military in the capital city of the country." Earlier in the morning, another correspondent reported that the city appeared deserted in the early hours. "The streets are very dirty, there is debris everywhere. The police have just disappeared. Any security at this stage is in the hands of the army."Al Jazeera's correspondents in the port city of Alexandria have also said that anti-government protests have begun there, with hundreds of people on the streets. Security situationThe security situation in the capital prompted the country's interior minister to hold meetings with top officials on Sunday.Habib al Adli met Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, the defence minister, and vice-president Omar Suleiman, state television reported.As the police withdrew from streets across Egypt, Adli has been the target of growing criticism by the protesters who have called on him to resign.The absence of police has given looters a free rein, forcing ordinary citizens to set up neighbourhood patrols. However, police are expected to return to the streets two days after they virtually disappeared, one of Al Jazeera's correspondents in Cairo said. "We are expecting a statement by the minister of interior on Monday about whether the police are going to return or not. "They all but disappeared over the last couple of days and many people are wondering where they disappeared to. "There are two schools of thought as far as the police are concerned: One is that many of them decided to join the protesters. The other is that the regime was saying to the people, 'You want to protest. We'll pull back the police and you feel what anarchy feels like'," our correspondent said.

Press PLAY to hear a sample from Four Types of Giving
HERE now
How much money should a Christian have?
Have you ever wondered?
If so, then GREAT! You are in the right place! You will love Chapter 1. Mark Gorman writes about this very subject in great detail.
Mark Gorman answers these and other questions with fresh insights in "God's Plan for Prosperity".
Prosperity is one of the most controversial topics in Christianity today. For years, many Christian leaders have denounced prosperity as evil. In recent times, others have touted it as the ultimate measure of one's spirituality.
In this book, Mark uses simple, logical illustrations to pain a picture of God's opinion on wealth, and how much of it we should possess.
As you read "God's Plan for Prosperity", you will be gripped by stirring accounts of those who use the principles Mark teaches to prove God's promises in regard to abundant provision.
Mark takes a highly debated subject and simplifies it while giving scriptural foundation for each principle he teaches in this easy-to-read book.
2 Corinthians 9:11 says that we will be made RICH in every way so we can be generous...
I was given the tape pack, "God's Plan For Prosperity". After
hearing it, I was convicted about my giving habits [I didn't have
any.] I am unemployed, my last check from my previous job came in
Friday. I determined that if I was going to test it, I had to give
at least 20% to "good ground". In the span of 5 days, I had a call
back on a job that was offered to someone else who changed their
mind, got a call on a second, spoke to a buddy about a third job,
received my tax return a week earlier than expected, and God
directed us to the mini-van deal of a lifetime. Thank you for being
forthright, honest, and tough. We continue to tithe and sow seeds,
and we are excited to see what's next.
Mark has spoken in churches around the world, TV stations in several countries and dozens of businesses around the globe. Mark has consulted and worked with millionaires from all backgrounds.
Do you want wisdom on WEALTH?
Thank you so much for allowing us to plant a seed in your
ministry. We came to rededicate our lives to the Lord at a business
conference. We have been in business for 2 years but have never been
able to get things going for us. Since we planted our "seed of
harvest" and you have been praying for us, we have had two new
business clients and the third one is coming soon.
The rest of the book, Mark discusses topics such as:
And the most popular chapter:
How to OWN YOUR HARVEST
Do you want to own your harvest?
Would you like to find out how you have the Title Deed and Right to take possession of your harvest?

Rugby hero drops into Limerick youth centre
FORMER Munster and Ireland star Jerry Flannery was happy to give rugby advice and tips to a group of children when he visited the West End Youth Centre in Ballinacurra Weston.
Members of the youth club were thrilled to meet one of their sporting heroes in the flesh and wasted no time to ask him about his time in the red and green jerseys.
However after answering their questions, the sports equipment was dusted off and everyone was being put through their paces.
The former hooker gave advice and tips to the young competitors who were eager to show off their skills.
"I loved meeting Jerry Flannery, I watched him loads of times on the telly and he was my favourite player before he retired. I beat him twice in the hurdle hops, he blamed his calf injury but I just think I'm better," said Jack Molloy.
Jerry spoke with the young people about the importance of staying active and getting involved in youth clubs such as the West End Youth Centre.
He also encouraged the young people of Ballinacurra Weston to take advantage of the long summer evenings and get out and about with their friends.
Hayley Condron said she was thrilled to have met Jerry.
"I made all the girls in school jealous when I told them that I met Jerry Flannery and got his autograph. He was really good fun and spent ages helping me and my little sister get better at the long jump," she said.
During his visit, Ross Ambrose briefed Jerry about the busy summer programme that will be running at the Youth Centre.
The activities will run for seven weeks and are open to young people aged between 7 and 21 who are living in the Ballinacurra Weston Area.
The activities include a range of activities from surfing and soccer to art and beauty.
As part of the summer camps provision the young people involved are also offered a range of day trips and overnight visits.
"The summer is really good fun in the Youth Centre, we play loads of different games and we go away on long trips on the bus, I get to try loads of new things that I haven't done before," said Ross.
The West End Youth Centre is open every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening and on Saturday afternoons.

Personalize Your Wedding Reception with Paper
Whether you have worked with me on your wedding invitations or not, you can still work with me to create you custom wedding day-of paper, which includes wedding signs ceremony programs, menus, escort cards, thank you cards, thumbprint guestbooks, table numbers, favor tags and more! I will work with you to come up with a few design elements that can then be sprinkled throughout the wedding day-of paper. As one of my recent brides said in her Hand-Painted Weddings review, that she was surprised by how big of an impact all of these little pieces made for her wedding.
Watercolor Wedding Signs
I love getting hearing about all of you and your partner's little wedding details and your inspiration for your wedding day. My passion for hearing all about the details of your wedding influences the designs I am creating and painting for your wedding day-of paper. If you are going to have lights adorning the trees outside your reception, I may suggest a design that incorporates a strand of lights. As you can see from the examples above, the designs for each wedding are not identical, but they match the overall style of the wedding. They take your design decisions for your wedding and serve as the thread connecting all the pieces together—from the flowers to the table linens. Everything looks cohesive and yet absolutely authentic.
Wedding day sign options include signature drink signs for the bar at your reception or social media signs alerting your guests of your hashtag on Instagram. You might also want a sign at your favor table, guestbook table, or dessert table. All of these signs are little touches that really bring together the various elements of the wedding. A few other details that resonate at your wedding are the Bride and Groom signs, which can be tied with ribbon on the corners at your seats. Some choose to put a quote on the back of their chairs, like a recent client of mine who put a quote from a Phish song in lieu of "Bride and Groom." Another idea for custom pieces for your wedding is hotel welcome cards that outline the weekend's events for your guests that are coming from out of town. If your guests need to know about any aspect of your wedding, customized hand-painted signs are a great option for a little something extra in making your day as special as it can be.

Boney's does barbecue "low and slow," its website promises. But in this case, "low and slow" wins the race -- because Boney's just unveiled its new location at 1543 Champa Street, just two doors down from its former home at 1555 Champa.
The bigger, better space will allow owner/operators Lamont and Trina Lynch to not only expand their hours, but expand their menu...and maybe one day add alcohol to the offerings.
See also: - Boney's Smokehouse gives a Southern tweak to Bahamian barbecue recipes - Head to Boney's if you're hankering for a turkey leg during the off season - Denver's Best BBQ 2010: Boney's Smokehouse
Lamont is a South Florida native, by way of a fourth generation Bahamian family, and his barbecue recipes -- "a lifelong hobby," he says -- reflect that heritage.
They're waiting to expand the menu offerings and hours until they've worked out a few kinks in the new place, Lamont says, but he promises that won't take long.
In the meantime, keep reading for a look at the new Boney's.

A teenager accused of killing his parents Halloween morning made his first court appearance in Augusta, Maine Tuesday afternoon.
Andrew Balcer, 17, of Winthrop, Maine, is accusing of killing Alice and Antonio Balcer, 47, in their home early Monday morning.
"They were good kids," said Dr. Mary Sheridan, a veterinarian who worked with Alice at the Winthrop Veterinary Hospital. "They're a close family. I don't understand. Hopefully we will someday."
The latest news from around the state
Wearing a gray sweat shirt, jail uniform pants, and bright red nail polish, the juvenile did not show any emotion or make eye contact with family members present for his court appearance. Attorneys for both the state and defense declined to comment.
Balcer has been ordered held without bail until his next court appearance, on Nov. 17. He will undergo a court ordered mental health evaluation.
The state has requested a hearing to determine if Balcer will be charged as an adult. He is just weeks away from his 18th birthday.
"My heart goes out to the family," said neighbor Melissa Shannon. "I feel for the one who is left."
Shannon remembers the night of the murders, hearing a panicked person knocking on their door, asking for help.
"It makes me want to cry, thinking about that person who had to go through that," said said. Shannon didn't open to the door because she was afraid for her own children's safety. She called police, and the person ran away.
A police affidavit outlining the evidence to arrest Balcer has been sealed, and autopsy results have not been made public.
The couple, who went by Ali and Tony, are being remembered as kind, happy, and loving members of the community.
"She was a warm, important, wonderful member of our staff and community," said Dr. Sheridan, who added that Ali ran three miles a day.
Friends said Tony was a Coast Guard veteran, member of the Exiles motorcycle club, and bible study teacher.
"I think it's important for people to know how special they were," said Dr. Sheridan, "even the kids."

Hello again! It's Christy from Teaching Tales Along the Yellow Brick Road. I hope that you are enjoying this blog; I know I enjoy checking in and seeing all of the wonderful ideas posted daily!
This last month, I started teaching a vocabulary intervention group and I thought I'd share a quick activity that my students enjoyed!
Part of this intervention time has been spent working with dictionary and thesaurus skills. To put some of our skills to work, we took nursery rhymes and altered them by finding synonyms to replace some of the more 'boring' words within them. Students then created a poster showing their new-and-improved nursery rhyme renditions.
They looked good and gave students a chance to use their thesaurus skills. A win-win!

Q. I have a terrible sweet tooth, like the size of King Kong. How can I correct it?
A. Sugar craving is one of the symptoms of yeast and parasitic infections. When yeasts and parasites hook onto your mucous membranes and suck your nutrients, they scream, "Feed me more! Feed Me more!" If you don't know what's going on, you just feed them with sugary food every time they scream for it. If not treated properly, over eating sugar can evolve into diabetes or uncontrollable weight gain.
Follow these steps:
1) Change your dietary habits
Learn what to eat and what to avoid so that you can starve your little enemies, yeasts and parasites, and feed your body. My yeast-free cookbook, Healthy and Tasty: Dr. J's Anti-Yeast Cooking gives you recipes following my anti-yeast cooking principles: no sugar, no dairy, no wheat, no yeasts, no alcohol, no caffeine, no nicotine, nor chemicals. You'll receive as much benefit as the effort you put in. Don't wait for the perfect time. Perfect time never comes! Once you learn to feed your body with nourishing food and starve the yeasts and parasites, sugar-craving symptoms will be greatly reduced.
2) Herbal Therapy
If you have severe symptoms of sugar craving, I would recommend taking our Herbal Detox Program and Herbal Cocktail to speed up the process. Yeast-Para Control removes excess yeasts and parasites quickly, and Cleansing-Balance Tea flushes the debris that Yeast-Para Control creates. Herbal Cocktail nourishes your body and starves yeasts and parasites.
3) Stress Management
Stress is part of life. When you manage your stress effectively, stress can propel you towards higher levels of success. On the other hand, you might use stress as an excuse to indulge yourself in emotional eating, including eating sugary food. In my book: Breaking the Yeast Curse: Food and Unconditional Love for Magic Healing, there are details regarding tools you can use to manage your stress. They include meditation, prayers, affirmation, etc. I would encourage you to go to my website: www.drjsbest.com to download the Ten-minute Meditation Guide for free and meditate every day to reduce your day-to-day stress.
For more information or to schedule consultation, please call 1-800-715-3053 or send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com. In person, Skype, or telephone consultations are available.

Q. There is a lot of conflicting information on the Internet regarding Candida Cleansing Diet, what is your opinion on this?
A. Indeed, it's like a jungle out there in terms of information regarding the candida cleansing diet. Oftentimes you are confused about what you can eat and what you should avoid when you try to heal yourself from candidiasis, or yeast and parasitic infections.
First of all, you need to understand that candida is a member of the yeast family. Candida alone has 40 to 50 strains that are harmful to your health. When yeasts are present, parasites also thrive. I call them Siamese Twins. Therefore, I would refer to yeast and parasite cleanse in this Q&A.
Also, the word "diet" seems to denote the meaning of being "limited" and "short term." Therefore, I prefer to call it an "Anti-Yeast Nutritional Program" because you can follow the nutritional principles for life to maintain optimal health. The anti-yeast nutritional program I recommend contains no sugar, no dairy, no wheat, no yeast, no caffeine, no alcohol, no nicotine, nor chemicals. I developed these "Eight Commandments" after I conquered a severe case of yeast and parasitic infection, and remained symptom-free for several decades.
In my yeast-free cookbook, Healthy and Tasty: Dr. J's Anti-Yeast Cooking, you will find anti-yeast nutritional principles and recipes that nourish your body, but starve the yeasts and parasites. The "Eight Commandments" detailed in my anti-yeast cookbook have stood the test of time. My many clients and myself have been able to get well and stay well because of these anti-yeast nutritional principles.
When your immune system is strong, you can re-introduce food items that are on the no-no list if you go for moderation. Occasionally, when I indulged on the no-no foods, I had to accept the consequences for it. For example, if I had a small slice of ultra-sweet fruits such as watermelon, my body can handle it. However, when I had a bigger slice, I would suffer from sugar headaches for a few days. It becomes a matter of choice of what consequences you would accept when you deviate from my anti-yeast nutritional principles.
Also, please be aware that diet alone will not cure you when you suffer from chronic yeast and parasitic infections. You do need to consider herbal therapy to eliminate excess yeasts and parasites quickly so that your body's innate intelligence can be activated and healing can take place. I formulated Yeast-Para Control to remove yeasts and parasites simultaneously. Because yeasts and parasites go hand in hand, if you only treat yeast or only treat parasitic infection, sooner or later, both yeasts and parasites will come back together to "haunt" you.
I also formulated Cleansing-Balance Tea to flush the debris created by Yeast-Para Control. It's like this: Yeast-Para Control would scrub the toilet, and Cleansing-Balance Tea would flush the toilet. When you combine these two formulas (Herbal Detox), together with the anti-yeast nutritional program, your body would begin to heal quickly.
As I stated in previous publications, yeasts and parasites are the "root of all evil" when health is concerned, and stress is the core of these roots. Therefore, if you want to have long-lasting results, you must manage your stress effectively. In my book, Breaking the Yeast Curse: Food and Unconditional Love for Magic Healing, there are several techniques you can use to reduce your stress. They include meditation, releasing deep-rooted negative emotions, prayers, and affirmations. To start, you may go to our website: www.drjsbest.com to download a free 10-Minute Meditation Guide to reduce stress and increase your general wellbeing.
Consultation on how to heal yeast and parasitic infections and their related illnesses is available in person, over the phone or over Skype.

U.S. News evaluated and ranked the 25 diets below with input from a panel of health experts.
To be top-rated, a diet had to be relatively easy to follow, nutritious, safe, and effective for weight loss and against diabetes and heart disease. The U.S. government-endorsed Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) snagged the top spot.
No. 1 Diet: DASH Diet
The number one top-rated diet is DASH diet. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), which helped develop DASH, publishes free guides on the plan. One (PDF here) is 64 pages while another (PDF here; also displayed below) is six. Both take you through the same process of determining how many calories you should eat for your age and activity level, tell you where those calories should come from, and remind you to go easy on salt. It's as simple as that.
The DASH eating plan is rich in fruits, vegetables, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, whole grains, fish, poultry, beans, seeds, and nuts. It also contains less salt and sodium; sweets, added sugars, and sugar-containing beverages; fats; and red meats than the typical American diet. This heart healthy way of eating is also lower in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol and rich in nutrients that are associated with lowering blood pressure—mainly potassium, magnesium, and calcium, protein, and fiber.

BlizzCon 2010: Blizzard Announces Final Diablo 3 Class
Pages 1 2 NEXT
BlizzCon 2010: Blizzard Announces Final Diablo 3 Class
Blizzard has unveiled the fifth member of the Diablo 3 quintet - the Demon Hunter.
As part of the keynote speech at this year's BlizzCon, Blizzard's Chris Metzen has announced the fifth and final class Diablo 3. Joining the Barbarian, Witch Doctor, Monk and Wizard is the Demon Hunter, a rogue-like character armed with a crossbow, bombs, and lots and lots of arrows.
Also announced are PVP battle arenas for both solo and team play, which will give players the opportunity to bust out some of their meanest attacks and get medieval on their fellow adventurers.
In a panel following the keynote, Blizzard elaborated on the design of the Demon Hunter. The character was designed from the ground up as a Ranger-type class - a physically attractive young woman (or man) who is out for revenge on the demons that threaten the world of Sanctuary. She is the "obsessed hero," whose quest for vengeance leads her to dabble in powers she may not be able to control.
To that end, she has gadgets beyond her dual crossbows, such as bombs, traps and fire arrows, and shadow-magic powers. The bola shot combines her gadgeteering and ranged abilities, shooting an explosive wrap at an enemy which holds them in place before detonating. Her acrobatic Vault allows her to move around the battlefield similarly to the Barbarian's Leap.
She is able to drop spike traps on the ground and lure her enemies over them - a character who can flourish with preparation. So she's kind of like Batman, then.
Cool :)
Finally! It took them long enough. Meh, I can't stay mad at them.
I don't really think anyone is gonna be surprised that the 5th class is an Amazon variant. Good to see it officially announced though.
So basically the amazon?
Waah! The intro video is awesome!! Don't forget the PvP arenas!
Looks like a mix of amazon and assassin - duel wielding crossbow too :P
pretty cool
woohoo, finally! Now let's get this game released, shall we?
By the way, a trailer and info are available on the diablo 3 website: http://eu.blizzard.com/diablo3/
Anyway I'm disappointed. She just looks so.. meh. So utterly bland. It looks like Sylvanas Windrunner or Tyrande Wisperwind from WoW... Actually, this is the first thing that comes into my mind when I put "Blizzard" and "female hero who can kick ass without magic" together in the same senteance.
Oh well, everything except this: so far so good.
And here I was thinking the Monk's trailer was cheesy.
Demon hunter's a stupid name but apart from that it sounds good. For some reasons I hate using crossbows in games, I always choose bow and arrows, but maybe that's just me.
Priceless man.
Ooooooooooh ... I like, even if I was hoping to see my Paladin back, this class just looks too damn cool for me to start raging at Diablo 3.
Yeah, just checked out the trailer. I'm kinda dissapointed. I think she sort of breaks the Diablo mold. I don't know why but this "I'm so baddass, watch me do these crazy kung fu flips" just turns me off, especially in a setting like Diablo. Anayway, all the other classes kick ass. 4/5...not too bad Blizzard.
Now all I have to do is wait for an expansion with a primary shapeshifter and zoo keeper.
Pff, Batman could have totally taken down Diablo and co. He just needed some Prep time and he would have Pwned them.
It's unfortunate there's no real "defender" class like the pally was, but I'm glad the rogue-zon-sin fans got their archer. :-)
Hopefully we'll get a paladin-ish class in the expansion. (Maybe "Knight?" Templar?)
I think my first will be a monk.
That is one badass archer. I'm now thinking of going Demon Hunter instead of Wizard. The combination of Zon/Asn skills displayed there was really enticing. x.x
I had a feeling Blizz was going to pull a surprise at BlizzCon. (Like they do)
Damn, I was hoping for the Druid or Necromancer to make a return.
Bah PVP....You would think Blizzard would have leaned by now...I'll use caps and bold in case they are listening.
Stop shoehorning PVP into every game to satisfy the 2% of the playerbase that enjoys it.
Basically, because of this, I want from not caring about D3 to preordering it.
Dang, I was planning on being the monk... but the opportunity to be an awesome mix of Van Helsing and Batman is too good to pass up.
Oh dear. Considering how much of a backlash the Witch Doctor received, this is going to be even worse.
Anyway, I personally find the class to be preety cool. I just wish they would lose the heels....seriously, it must be really impractical to run around in those.
Speaking of the Demon Hunter, I wonder how the male variant will end up looking.
Sorry but...the demon hunter easily has to be one of the dumbest classes I've ever heard of in this game.
Diablo is a demon, diablo's minions are demons. The game diablo is an action RPG about fighting demons. ALL characters are demon hunters, the whole game is about hunting down one nasty demon that just won't die. A Demon Hunter class is...extremely redundant, to the point it doesn't really make sense with the game. It'd be like Dragon Strike (yes, the cheesiest of cheesy board games with a ridiculous "Roll the Die!" tutorial video) having a character called "The Dragon Striker."
Yeah? The Witch Doctor had a huge backlash? I thought that was an excellently realised class.
I can understand why people'd be mad because it wasn't a Necromancer or Druid, but I don't see why it would get hate apart from that. The only thing I don't like about them is the summoning though. Undead dogs? I don't really get it. 'Necromancer= summon fallen enemies' and 'druid= wild pets' is a much stronger concept than the 'Witch Doctor= undead hounds'. I'd have preferred if they tried a different route like maybe controlling enemies as pets through voodoo or something else.
The demon hunter just strikes as bland in terms of visual design. I don't mind repeating archetypes and doing a simple archer character, but a demon with red eyes in shiny armor with double crossbows? Ehhrghhg. What's the culture behind that? Are there tribes with tons of demon eyed knights? I don't know I don't really dig it.
I also dislike it when you put pre-dominant weapons inside classes. Everyone should get to chose what weapons they want with each and every class. Maybe the demon hunter has different weapons builds available (probably) but the whole double crossbows seems to much like a trademark weapon to me. Anyway, can't wait to see more videos on this.
So... Batmans gadgets, and Sylvanas's drive for vengeance, use of magic, agility, glowing eyes, and breasts...
And personally I saw no issues with Witch Doctor...
How do you reload dual crossbows?
with magic of curse...
I like the concept a lot more than the final product.
They keep talking about wanting to make the class seem 'dark'. Why? Seems silly to me. They also wanted to make it more Gothic. I really liked the middle eastern flair that D3 showed so far. D2 already mostly departed from the Gothic athmosphere of D1, the Demon hunter seems a little out of place now I think.
Also I they should have gone the full way with the demon concept. Half-demon? Lame. A demon fighting among men would be hard to swallow but make the whole 'mysterious' aspect a lot more intriguing. Kind of like the assassin in ME2, I think Bioware nailed it with the 'mysterious, almost religious contract killer' and that's coming from someone who doesn't think too highly of ME2.
Hope male version looks cool. Always loved the gothic and dark feel of diablo, and very happy to see they haven't abandoned it.
Generally, anything that reminds some Diablo fans of World of WarCraft is certain to fall under scrunity. Considering how the Demon Hunter class is prominently featured in WoW, I fully expect an enormous backlash over this (although it has been suprisingly quiet so far...).
Soooo... Blizzard finally caved and got rid of the rainbows? I am sad...
Wow... so they're just riffing on old ideas again because they lack the talent to come up with something unique and original yet again?
Blizzard; Making the same shit over and over again since they sold out in 2004.
Probably because anyone who was a true Diablo fan has already become so disenfranchised with Blizzard's lack of originality they left for Torchlight long ago.
Right, beacuse Torchlight is very original....
They did, kind of; they were merged into the WD.
All classes in D3 can be male or female. My hunter will Van Helsing ripoff.

Government of Saskatchewan
About: "Saskatchewan became a province of Canada on September 1, 1905. Located between Alberta to the west and Manitoba to the east, its boundaries extend from the US border along the 49th parallel to the border with the Northwest Territories along the 60th parallel. Saskatchewan covers 6.5% of Canada, an area of 651,036 square kilometres. Of this, 591,670 square kilometres are land and 59,366 square kilometres are covered by water." [Way more…].
Design by: Brace yourselves, "The newer logo was developed and tweaked by a number of agencies and organizations over the years, including Regina's H.J. Linnen and the Phoenix Group, and government agency Enterprise Saskatchewan. The most recent adjustments were made by Saskatoon-based Kinetic design agency."
Ed.'s Notes: This logo has sparked a controversy because (A) people seem to really really like the wheat sheaf icon; (B) it's not just a new logo, but it's a third logo that is used along with a seal and the wheat sheaf icon and there is a bunch of rules about which one is used where; and (C ) "The New Democrats are criticizing the provincial government's new logo because it uses the Saskatchewan Party's green-and-yellow colour scheme," calling it sneaky and inappropriate. I'll simplify things for all ya'll Saskatchewans: the logo sucks, that's why it's controversial.

Introduction. Host lipid metabolism influences viral replication and lifecycle of hepatitis C virus. Our aim was to evaluate changes in glucose and lipid metabolism of patients with chronic hepatitis C after therapy with direct acting antivirals (DAA). Material and methods. We considered patients consecutively treated between January and November 2015 recording clinical data at baseline and week 24 of follow-up. Frozen serum samples were used for apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), apolipoprotein B (apoB) and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)]. Wilcoxon test was utilized to estimate trends and Logistic Regression for predictors of lipid changes. Results. We enrolled 100 patients, mostly cirrhotic (81%) and with genotype 1b (59%). Ninety-three patients achieved sustained virological response (SVR), while 7 relapsed. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance declined (from 3 to 2.7, p < 0.001); non-high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol increased from 102 ± 29 to 116 ± 35 (p < 0.001), and Lp(a) from 5.6 ± 6.5 to 9.8 ± 11.5 mg/dL (p < 0.001). Rise of low-density lipoprotein/HDL and apoB/apoA1 ratio were registered (from 1.79 ± 1.10 to 2.08 ± 1.05 and from 0.48 ± 0.18 to 0.53 ± 0.18 mg/dL, p < 0.001). We conducted a subanalysis on patients with relapse. In this subgroup, no change of lipid profile was recorded. At multivariate analysis emerged that the addition of ribavirin to DAA, represented an independent predictor of increased Lp(a) (OR 3.982, 95% CI 1.206-13.144, p = 0.023). Conclusion. DAA therapy led to reduction of insulin resistance. In contrast, pro-atherogenic lipid changes were observed in patients with SVR. Further studies will be necessary to evaluate the cardiovascular balance between amelioration of glucose metabolism and negative changes of lipid profile.
Key words. Hepatitis C virus., Chronic hepatitis C., Antiviral therapy., Lipid metabolism., Glucose metabolism.

So says Metropolitan King County Councilmember Dave Upthegrove of Des Moines, who plans to introduce an amendment to that effect Monday morning — when the council would otherwise vote to approve a round of February 2015 reductions. The cuts scheduled this weekend, which include eliminating 28 relatively low-use routes, would stay in effect. "I don't think we need to cut one bus route more," Upthegrove said late Friday afternoon. His rationale comes from a special, county-requested peer review of Metro by the American Public Transit Association. The review came in the wake of a ballot defeat, criticism from skeptics, and pressure from Councilmenber Rod Dembowski to look harder at transit budgets. The APTA panel's report suggests a King County policy — to accumulate a vehicle-replacement reserve equal to 30 percent of the depreciated value of the 1,300-bus fleet — sets the number too high, and that 20 percent would be fine. Upthegrove said he had staff crunch the numbers and found such a change would save $25 million the first year, and $5 million each year after that. The risk, he acknowledges, is a greater chance of route cuts in another recession. Budget Director Dwight Dively, Metro General Manager Kevin Desmond and County Executive Dow Constantine have all been adamant about building some margin into Metro's budget, as a hedge against downturns. Some other reserves within Metro would still grow. Upthegrove said that even if his plan were to prevail, new revenue sources are needed soon, perhaps a progressive car-tab tax based on vehicle value. Critics of Metro have pointed to a sales-tax windfall, roughly $30 million this year beyond early estimates, to argue that spending cuts plus economic growth can solve the transit agency's problems — while Desmond says what the agency really needs is to increase service hours to serve the fast-growing county of 2 million people.

SIGNATURE STYLE / Modest mansions / Walter W. Dixon's Storybook homes offered escape during stressful times
If Walter W. Dixon visited Picardy Drive in East Oakland today, 80 years after designing it, he'd be a happy man. The "modest mansions" that he and his partner, builder R.C. Hillen, offered for sale remain just that. Half- timbered and bedecked with dovecotes, fake-thatch roofs, birdhouses and archways, the houses are all different inside, and their owners love them.
"There's really something special about being here," said Harry Kendall, a Picardy Drive resident.
Unlike neighboring subdivisions, even others by Dixon and Hillen, Picardy Drive remains architecturally intact. It's a neighborly place that has won fame for its annual Christmas light extravaganza. Kendall attributes much of the neighborliness to the ambience established by Dixon and Hillen.
Dixon has won fame for his Storybook neighborhoods -- besides Picardy Drive (originally named Normandy Gardens), Oakland has the Court of All Nations and a remarkable collection of fairy-tale homes in the Rockridge district. Alameda boasts two cute-as-a-button bungalow courts, Stonehenge and Stoneleigh. Dixon and Hillen didn't just turn out individual Storybook homes, or even small groups. They developed tracts.
Dixon treated homebuilding as a business like any other. Besides designing houses with Hillen and other developers, he published a magazine, the Home Designer and Garden Beautiful, and books of home plans. He also sold house plans of his own design and by architects whose work appeared in the magazine, including Henry Gutterson, Walter Ratcliff, Harold Stoner and H.C. Baumann.
Although he designed houses in many styles that blend seamlessly into upscale hill neighborhoods and flatland tracts, it's with Storybook houses that Dixon made his mark. The standard Period Revival house of the 1920s evoked England, France, Spain or the American colonies. Storybook houses laid the detail on more thickly and borrowed from lands that existed only in imagination.
Storybook style had a deeper meaning, says Woody Minor, Alameda's architectural historian in residence. It was a reaction to modernism, the carnage of the First World War, the influenza pandemic, societal trauma.
"The world was just a little too scary," Minor says. "It was changing too fast, so people retreated into a romantic fantasy."
By 1924, as Storybook style was gaining steam, the Home Designer ran a Dixon cover drawing of an English "thatch" cottage. "This might be the 'gingerbread house' of the fairy tale," Dixon wrote. "Here is the 'charm' we hear so much about and see so little of."
People still feel the charm. "Wow! Look at this! Is this real life?" was Faye Wilson's reaction when she stumbled upon Stonehenge, where she quickly bought a cottage and decorated it with Asian art and a gnome or two. "It's like Fantasy Island come to life here."
Bernard Wittenberg delights in the curved doorways and generous proportions of his Berkeley hills home, and its parapet that's crenellated like a medieval fortress. "That's so when our enemies come we can pour down boiling oil."
Henriette Zabin fell for her Berkeley hills manor that's Moorish here, French there, not because it's exotic but because it's homey.
"It reminded me of warmth and family," she says, "and people coming over on holidays." That suggests, of course, that Storybook style is less about history than childhood dreams.
Dixon, born in San Francisco and raised in Oakland, learned cabinetry from his father, whose company built retail display cases. He wanted to be an artist, but his father, a Swedish immigrant, urged him to go into architecture instead. Dixon learned his trade at two prominent firms, A.W. Smith of Oakland and Bliss and Faville, which designed the St. Francis Hotel, in San Francisco.
By 1906 Dixon was living in an East Oakland complex on Fifth Avenue -- including a stable he turned into a home and office, where he would remain the rest of his life. Dixon and his wife, Cecile, had a son and daughter.
By 1911 he was designing bungalows in Alameda, Oakland and San Leandro with Robert Cleveland Hillen. According to a biographical sketch of Hillen in the mid-1920s, by that time they had produced 300 homes.
Dixon's style is recognizable in his mature dwellings, from the compact bungalows of Stonehenge to 3,000-square-foot custom homes in the hills. His Storybook style was quieter than that of some of his contemporaries -- less ragged brick, fewer wrought-iron grills. His magazine inveighed against too much ornamentation. His interiors are often plain stucco walls with restrained moldings. He avoided plate rails.
A Dixon house will probably have a large living room (even if the house is small), often with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, French doors between rooms, arched niches with built-in buffets and cabinets, arched doors, a characteristic curved wooden molding over windows and doors, large and many- mullioned "studio windows" and turrets that shelter the front door. "He liked curves," Zabin observes.
Dixon proclaimed himself "an authority on small-home design." His book "Home Designer Magazine: A Book of Plans" focused on five- and six-room homes.
"Every inch of space has been utilized in this plan," he bragged of one Spanish design. Many are "one and a half story," with the second story smaller than the first (thanks to a steeply pitched roof), or split levels, with living rooms on one level, master bedroom five steps up, then 10 stairs leading to an attic, either unfinished or with a bedroom.
Entry halls and interior hallways are tiny or nonexistent. Dixon often provided breakfast nooks rather than dining rooms, freeing space for spacious living rooms. Breakfast nooks often had fold-away tables and seating, and Dixon loved hidden wall beds, even in the living room. "With the use of the wall bed, less rooms need actually be built," he advised.
"He felt very strongly that everyone should have their own home who wanted one," says Barbara Dixon Burgess, his daughter.
Many of his homes were 1,100 square feet or less, but seem grander because of open-ceiling living rooms, rounded fireplace nooks and ample windows. Other amenities uncommon for their time include automatic garden sprinklers on Picardy Drive, and two-car garages.
Dixon's homes maximize light and views, with breakfast rooms placed to catch the morning sun. When they could, Dixon and Hillen arranged their homes to form communities. Houses on Picardy Drive and the neighboring College Court are connected by low stucco garden walls and wrought-iron or wood-slat driveway gates. Some homes are "modified Spanish" with entry courtyards, others English with half-timbering, but similar massing and gable shapes produce a harmonious whole.
Before the 1920s, many of Dixon's homes were standard bungalows or Mediterranean houses of stucco. His evolution toward Fairyland can be seen in the pages of the Home Designer and in his East Oakland homes. Dixon's home designs, shown on many of the magazine's covers, grow more picturesque each year. Despite tales to the contrary, Dixon never visited France. "It would be much more romantic if it were true," his daughter concedes.
"There is dignity, simplicity and charm -- essential characteristics of any home," the magazine rhapsodized in 1922 about a half-timbered English home of the sort Dixon would soon be building.
"Their homes get nicer and more storybook and more expensive as years go by, culminating in Normandy Gardens," says Andy Carpentier, who will lead a tour of Picardy Drive this month.
Homes were arrayed on Picardy Drive around a looming castle -- three apartments, actually, the one with the baronial living room serving as the sales office. Hillen and Dixon offered to customize houses, so Picardy homes provide surprises.
Beginning two years later, Dixon turned out his most romantic creations, the gated fairyland of Stonehenge and Stoneleigh. "This is really a jazzy bungalow court," Stonehenge resident Jamie Gold confesses.
Courtyards with fish ponds, fountains, brooks that really burble, oaks and palms and lush greenery, are maintained by the owners in pristine condition true to the original.
A quiet man who smoked cigars incessantly, Dixon gathered with friends many evenings at the local drugstore, then repaired to his home office where he designed until 2 or 3 a.m., Burgess says. For hobbies, he painted watercolors and raised borzois. "They were popular at the time," she says. "They were an Art Deco dog."
The Dixons were neither poor nor prosperous, Burgess remembers. Her mother said that when she met Dixon -- at the beginning of the Depression --
he had cardboard in his shoes but would buy the costliest art magazines.
During the 1930s, Dixon designed houses for C.M. "One-Nail" MacGregor, a builder who filled Albany with Period Revival and Storybook cottages. When MacGregor needed an office on Solano Avenue, Dixon provided a touch of Spain.
Dixon was designing homes until he died of a stroke in 1953. His dream had been to retire and paint.
Although far from famous, Dixon is well regarded, especially for Picardy Drive and Stonehenge-Stoneleigh. Monica Zuck, who is restoring a spacious, lavishly appointed Spanish-Moorish fantasy in Alameda, was ecstatic when she discovered it was a Dixon. "It's the next best thing to finding out Julia Morgan designed your house," she says.
Woody Minor believes Dixon's houses are historically important and deserve to be preserved. "Stonehenge and Stoneleigh offer a way into understanding how people were thinking at the time," he says. "They are period pieces, almost museum pieces."
Neither has landmark status, nor does Picardy Drive. Carpentier pushed for city landmark status a few years ago, but some residents were opposed. Now Harry Kendall, president of the homeowners association, hopes to try again. Nadine Cleveland, who lives in the castle, believes it's time. "We're already a historic site," she says. "It would be good to make it official."
W.W. Dixon (1883-1953)
Style: Storybook, fairy tale, Hansel & Gretel
Active: Dixon designed homes and other buildings, alone and in the firm Dixon and Hillen, from about 1910 to 1950, mostly in the East Bay.
Known for: Dixon built grand Storybook houses, and houses in other styles, and is best known for compact Storybook tract cottages.
Other practitioners: Carr Jones, William Raymond Yelland, John Hudson Thomas and Bernard Maybeck created personal versions of Storybook; Julia Morgan's San Simeon may be the grandest Storybook creation. Many towns have their own Storybook designer, including the Fox Brothers in Berkeley and High Comstock in Carmel. Storybook fantasies are returning to many contemporary subdivisions, and Ace Architects in Oakland has produced postmodern variants.
Resources: The Home Designer and Garden Beautiful, Dixon and Hillen's magazine can be perused at the history room of the Oakland Public Library. "Storybook Style," by Arrol Gellner, photographs by Douglas Keister (Viking Studio, 2001) features several Dixon homes The Picardy Drive Neighborhood Association Web site is www.picardydrive.org.
Where to visit
-- In Oakland, Picardy Drive, between 55th and Seminary avenues, is a fabulous spot, especially in December when the Christmas lights are turned on. Nearby are two other Dixon-Hillen projects, College Court on Morse drive between 55th and Seminary, and the Court of All Nations, along Hillen Drive and Fleming Avenue. Ross Street and Ivanhoe Road, in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood, are filled with Dixon gems.
-- In Alameda, Stonehenge and Stoneleigh occupy private courts but are easy to admire on the 1500 block of Santa Clara Avenue in Alameda. One of Dixon's most beautiful "modern Spanish" homes is at 2926 Gibbons Drive in Alameda. Schroeder-Dent Printing, 741 Buena Vista Ave., Alameda, has a nice Dixon facade.
-- In the Berkeley hills, 935 Shattuck Avenue and 131 Southampton Ave. stand out. A small tract of Storybook cottages stretches from 2810 to 2818 Webster St. in Rockridge.
C.M. "One-Nail" MacGregor's office is at 1389-1391 Solano Ave., Albany.
Tour Picardy Drive: The Oakland Heritage Alliance tour of Picardy Drive and nearby Mills Gardens is 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 27. Meet at 9:45 a.m. at Picardy Drive near Seminary Avenue. $5 members, $10 general. (510) 763-9218. www.oaklandheritage.org.

The "lovely older ladies" greeted shelter staff when they arrived at work in the morning on Wednesday, March 11, according to manager Corrine Ross on Facebook. They were in separate pet carriers and covered with a blanket.
"They were absolutely scared to death, but are in good hands now," she says.
If you need to surrender an animal come into the shelter to do so, don't abandon them. The shelter needs information about the owner and about the health of the cats, the post says.
The SPCA staff is hoping someone will recognize the cats from the pictures and contact them.
If the owner doesn't come forward, they will be spayed and put up for adoption.

Blackrod Primary School's wonderful igloo installation ensured they were the winners of Bolton School's new Celebration of Art event.
A large gathering of parents, pupils and teachers enjoyed perusing a selection of imaginative pieces in a wide variety of different artistic styles at an exhibition held in Bolton School's Arts Centre.
Entries from children from Reception to Year 6 at local primary schools were invited for the competition and there were four category winners, who each received an art folder full of goodies. An award was also made to the winning school, Blackrod, whose children had produced a life-size illuminated igloo made of plastic milk bottles and other recycled material. As a prize, they will enjoy an Art workshop at their school conducted by Boys' Division Art Teacher, Mrs Ryder. Other schools involved in the competition were Fox Wood School, Whittle-le-Woods Church of England Primary School, St William of York Roman Catholic Primary School and St Philip's Church of England School. Every child that had their work exhibited took away a book about art.
On the evening, an exhibition of GCSE and A level artwork produced by Bolton School students and a series of workshops conducted by Sixth Formers inspired the young artists to further their endeavours and to aim high.
Pleased at how the exhibition had gone, Mrs Ryder said: "The event was everything I had hoped for. It provided an opportunity for local schools to show their stunning artwork in an exhibition setting and I was delighted to be able to award art equipment, books and a practical session with myself and to inspire future artists. It is an important subject for so many and it should be celebrated. I am also indebted to A Level Art students Sam Towers, Luke Brabbin and Ashfaq Emritte for their help on the evening."

Savings Calculator
Do you know how much your savings are earning you today? Do you know what the value of your savings account will be in one year? Or 10 years? Or 20? Understanding what your savings account is worth can help you make budget decisions and determine how much you need to save now and in the future.
The savings calculator on this page will help you understand what the current value of your savings account is, and how much more you can earn by making a deposit.
To use the savings calculator, enter the initial amount of your savings account (how much is in the account right now?). Next, enter the amount you will be depositing into the account on a regular basis. Next, select the interest rate assigned by your bank for the account. Then enter the savings term you would like to see results for. Finally, enter the deposit frequency (how frequently will you be depositing the amount entered in the "deposit amount" field into your account?).
The calculator will reveal the total balance of your account at the end of your specified term. It will also show the amount that you've invested, and the total amount of interest earned during that term. Try adjusting the deposit amount, deposit frequency and savings term to see the true power of your savings account.
Note: The results from this calculator should be used as an indication only. Results do not represent either quotes or pre-qualifications for a product.
Money-Saving Tips
- Begin depositing any windfall income earned (salary bonuses, lottery winnings, gifts, tax returns, or other unexpected income) into your savings account to boost your nest egg.
- When you create your budget, allocate a specific amount to leisure and entertainment activities. Withdraw the specified amount in cash each month, and keep the cash in a jar or envelope. When the money from the envelope or jar is depleted, you cannot spend any more money on that category for the month. If a surplus remains at the end of the month, deposit the funds in your savings account.

House Page Program Ending
The U.S. House of Representatives page program, which has given high school students a behind-the-scenes look at Congress since the 1820s, has become a victim of budget cuts. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote that email had left the pages with little to do and that the House could no longer justify the $5 million annual expense. While the House page program ends this month, the Senate page program will continue.

Consider the following arithmetic function, $f(a,b) = (a+1, \lceil a- \frac{a}{b} \rceil , \lceil a- \frac{2a}{b} \rceil, \dots, \lceil \frac{a}{b} \rceil, 1)$, where all terms except the first and last are computed by the application of a ceiling function.
For any pair of positive integers $(a,b)$, the vector $f(a,b)$ consists of the terms of an integer partition of length $a+1$. Moreover, $f(a,b)$ and $f(b,a)$ represent dual partitions and have reflected Ferrers Diagrams. This can be proved by recalling the identity \begin{eqnarray} \sum_{j = 0}^{b-1} \left \lceil \tfrac{a(b-j)}{b} \right \rceil = \sum_{j = 0}^{a-1} \left \lceil \tfrac{b(a-j)}{a} \right \rceil. \end{eqnarray} (Going in the other direction, one can use the methods outlined here to give a neat combinatorial proof of this ceiling summation identity.)
In general, these integer partitions contain no $0$s, contain at least one $1$ and at most $a$ $1$s.
Question: Are these partitions a special (read named) subset of the standard partitions?
Problem 1: Determine all pairs $(a,b)$ such that $f(a,b)$ are the terms of an integer partition of $k$ for a fixed $k > 1$. Determine a simple way to find $k$ from $a$ and $b$ (and not by simply adding the terms of the defining relation).
Problem 2: Find other symmetries like $f(a,b) \leftrightarrow f(b,a)$.
(Motivation) For example, $f(2,3) = (4,2,1)$, $f(3,2) = (3,2,1,1)$, $f(1,5) = (6,1)$ and $f(5,1) = (2,1,1,1,1,1)$, which are dual integer partitions of $7$.
Problem 3: Give an interpretation to the sequence {$f(a,b)$} in terms of $a$ and $b$ for fixed $a$ or $b$.
(Motivation) The sequence {$f(1,b)$} consists of terms of the form $(2,1, \dots, 1)$ with $b + 1$ $1$s, which are integer partitions of $b+2$; {$f(2,b)$} consists of terms of the form $(3, 1), (3,1,1), (3,2,1)$ or $(3, 2, \dots, 2, 1, \dots, 1)$ which are each integer partitions of those integers greater than 3 not divisible by $3$; {$f(3,b)$} consists of special integer partitions of integers congruent to {$1,2,5$} mod $6$. Similarly, {$f(4,b)$} consists of integer partitions of integers congruent to {$1, 2, 3$} mod $5$ or {$1,2,6,8$} mod $10$; {$f(5,b)$} consists of integer partitions of integers congruent to {$1, 2, 4$} mod $6$, etc.
Here is some Mathematica code that might be useful:
f[a_, b_] := Flatten[{a + 1, Table[Ceiling[a - j a/b], {j, 1, b - 1}], 1}];
a = 2; Table[Total@f[a, b], {b, 1, 100}]

This open letter to Paul F. Tompkins illustrates all that is good about comedy
It's not that we here at Laughspin need any convincing about the power and beauty of comedy. It's just that it's heartening to see the artform's effects on its fans from time to time. Hence, we're really excited about this open letter to Paul F. Tompkins, originally posted on Reddit. Usually, people employ the open letter format when they want to complain about something. But as you'll see below, that wasn't Nick Zacharczuk's agenda at all. Enjoy!
To comedy's one true gentleman:
Hello again. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting you earlier this week after your appearance at The Apple Sisters show. I was wearing the Powell's Books shirt (you're right, it's out of hand there, they've gone too far… I mean, I love books and all but I'm no Burgess Meredith).
I work in sports television for a living and have dealt with superstar athletes for all of my adult life. Getting starstruck is a rare occurrence. But upon meeting you, I was left stammering and at a loss for words. It was the first time I was able to meet a personal hero of mine and I continue to be floored by how gracious and kind you were during our brief exchange. It meant more to me than words can express and still does.
In the few words I was able to intelligibly spit out, I'm glad I was able to impart to you how much you and your work has meant to me over the past few years. Your account of your relationship with your mother in "You Should Have Told Me" was truly inspiring.
But the most influential performance of yours was from one of your monthly shows at Largo in which you discussed the issues you had with being envious with the success of your peers and your difficulty dealing with that. I've experienced similar feelings throughout my career, but the commonality was not what struck a chord with me. It was sitting and watching you be so honest, so open and strongly confront something that was so troubling to you. After that show, there were things in my life that I found the strength to confront, reexamine and then change as a result of you sharing your struggle and (what I hope) subsequent triumph.
I was in a rush Monday evening so I deeply regret that I wasn't able to linger and speak with you more. I anxiously await the opportunity to meet you again and, in the meantime, hope this message finds you well.
Again, thank you for being an inspiration, for being kind, gracious and for helping light the way.
Sincerely, Nick Zacharczuk
PS – Here is a picture of the show card you signed for me. Thanks again!

In the ever-evolving city of Christchurch there is always something new popping up; however, there are also many classic icons that should be celebrated. Here are our top picks.
Located in Cathedral Square, this steel sculpture was installed to celebrate the new millennium and the 150th anniversary of the founding of Christchurch and Canterbury by the Canterbury Association – pretty cool if you ask us.
Peacock Fountain
No trip to the Botanic Gardens is complete without a stop at the Peacock Fountain, located on the Armstrong Lawn adjacent to the Canterbury Museum. This ornate, Edwardian-style fountain was unveiled in 1911 after being built by the 'Christchurch Beautifying Society' using money bequeathed by John Thomas Peacock. It was out of action for many years before being recommissioned by Mayor Vicki Buck in 1996.
Scarborough Clock Tower
Summer is not complete without a trip to Scarborough beach in Sumner for ice cream and a snap of the icon at the end of the esplanade. The Scarborough clock tower is a real piece of history – its foundation stone was laid in 1934.
New Regent Street
An Instagrammer's dream, New Regent Street is full of distinctive pastel colours – you cannot help but get your camera out! The beautiful Spanish Mission architecture dates back to 1932, and the street is now filled with boutique shops and eateries, including a fabulous ice cream shop – Rollickin!
The Arts Centre
The Arts Centre is home to one of the most significant collections of heritage buildings in New Zealand. Originally the University of Canterbury's town site (founded in 1873), where Sir Ernest Rutherford was based and Dame Ngaio Marsh studied, it is now a great venue for concerts, a relaxed hang out and a great place to shop (especially at the iconic Fudge Cottage).
The Tram
Between 1905 and 1954, electric trams were a fabulous way for people to get around Christchurch, including to the beachside suburb of New Brighton. Nowadays you can hop on a tram to explore the city centre or have a romantic date on the restaurant tram.
Glide along the Avon River/Ōtākaro on an authentic Edwardian punt for a real throwback in time. These handcrafted flat-bottomed boats, poled along by a punter, are the perfect way to explore the Garden City!
New Brighton Pier
New Brighton Pier is the perfect spot to watch surfers and take in the fresh sea air. The original wooden pier opened in 1894 and was demolished in 1965; the current one is concrete and opened in 1997.
Isaac Theatre Royal
Interestingly, there have been three 'Theatre Royals' in Christchurch, with the first being a wooden building opened in 1863! The current theatre opened in 1908 and underwent extensive repair and restoration activities following the Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. With its traditional horseshoe-shaped dress circle and gallery, elaborate plaster decorations and painted dome ceiling, it is a real stunner.
Bridge of Remembrance
Completed in 1924, the Bridge of Remembrance was originally designed and built to mark the sacrifice of those who served in World War I and later become a place also commemorating other conflicts.
Cave Rock (Tuawera)
Tuawera is the Maori name for Cave Rock in Sumner, which figuratively means 'cut down' and refers to the many people who died from eating the flesh of a great whale that was stranded on the shore. It is said that the rock represents the carcass of the whale which was beached. Nowadays it is an ideal spot to watch the sunset and enjoy fish and chips from a local shop.
Victoria Clock Tower
The clock tower on Victoria Street was made in England and received in 147 packages in December 1860. It was erected to celebrate the 60th Jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign. Since arriving in Christchurch, the tower has been moved from the Provincial Buildings, to Manchester Street and then finally in 1930 to its current location in Victoria Street.

Published May 01 2017
By Natasha E. Zachara
Sugars, carbohydrates, saccharides and glycoconjugates, collectively known as glycans, permeate every kingdom of life, where they play essential structural and functional roles. Interest in glycans has lagged behind interest in other biomolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. This ambivalence has been attributed in part to the challenges of working with glycans — they can be complex and require highly specialized methodology to study. This leads to a critical question raised by the National Research Council in 2012: If we are understudying glycans, what advances in areas as diverse as medicine, energy generation and materials science are we missing? To address this concern, in 2015, the National Institutes of Health started the Common Fund Glycoscience Initiative to fund projects whose goal was to transform glycoscience by building tools and resources that easily can be accessed and applied by the broader research community. The first generation of new tools is now available, and it is critical to get the word out!
Glycans are critical in several ways: They define self in both eukaryotes (blood types) and prokaryotes (serotypes); protect from pathogens and dehydration; provide structural integrity; and, in multicellular organisms, act as ligands for cell–cell and cell–extracellular-matrix interactions. Glycan-binding proteins play important roles in development, inflammation, hemostasis, transformation and metastasis by regulating both cell adhesion and signal transduction. Inside the cell, glycans play key roles in protein folding, targeting and turnover. Intracellular glycosylation, O-GlcNAcylation, regulates thousands of proteins in a manner analogous to protein phosphorylation. Disruptions in glycan biosynthesis cause hundreds of congenital disorders and contribute to the etiology of numerous diseases that include cancer, diabetes, pancreatitis and muscular dystrophy.
The development of novel methodologies can transform a field of research by providing greater molecular insight into physiological processes, increasing the rate at which information is collected and analyzed; if made accessible enough, the methodologies can boost the number of researchers working in that field. To this end, the Common Fund Glycoscience Initiative has funded 26 projects that will generate glycoscience tools. They include techniques that facilitate the synthesis and purification of glycans and their conjugates, improve the detection and analysis of glycans, develop new glycan-binding molecules, build expanded glycoconjugate arrays for characterizing glycan-binding molecules, develop synthetic sugars that will enable the determination of glycan function, and engineer cells and mice in which specific glycans or their modifications can be modulated for functional studies.
The fruits of this initiative already are appearing in the literature. Highlights include the development of a novel oxidative release method, which uses nothing more complex than household bleach to release N-linked and O-linked sugars as well as the glycan component of glycolipids. This approach, published in Nature Methods (1), will enable researchers to identify many of the glycans expressed by a cell, tissue or organism and rapidly identify developmental, physiological and disease-associated changes in glycans. Several groups have reported significant improvements in the stereospecific synthesis (2) and the purification and analysis of glycans (3, 4). These studies will facilitate the production of much-needed standards. Finally, the Glyco-Seek technology will enable researchers to detect and quantify O-GlcNAc modified proteins in a polymerase chain reaction machine using proximity ligation PCR (5).
These and other enabling technologies are anticipated to change the faces and landscape of the glycoscience field and, as a result, develop a more comprehensive understanding of the roles that glycans play in physiology and disease.
Find news about developing technologies and recent publications in glycoscience at the NIH Common Fund website or on Twitter.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Sources tell ABC News that Dr. Lawrence Cohen allowed a specialist unaffiliated with Yorkville Endoscopy to examine comedian Joan Rivers, even though that doctor was not authorized to practice at the clinic. That ear, nose and throat specialist was present at the time of the endoscopy.
A spokesperson for the clinic confirms that Cohen "is not currently performing procedures at Yorkville Endoscopy; nor is he currently serving as medical director."
Yorkville Endoscopy denies that a vocal cord biopsy was performed as stated in some reports, but the clinic does not deny that rivers had an unplanned procedure. About 18,000 procedures have been performed at the clinic since the center opened in February 2013.
Cohen is a gastroenterologist who recently opened a new office just blocks away on Park Avenue. According to the state Department of Health, he has been licensed to practice since 1979. The department is investigating, but neither Cohen nor the ENT specialist has been accused of wrongdoing.
Rivers was reportedly undergoing a procedure on Aug. 28 to determine the cause of her raspy voice. The clinic would not comment citing patient confidentiality laws.
Cohen has not responded to our requests for comment. Neither he nor the unaffiliated physician have been accused of wrongdoing, but the investigation by the state health department continues.
