Di Matteo hits out at Premier League
Roberto Di Matteo has accused the Premier League of risking Chelsea's Club World Cup hopes and his players' health after it refused to postpone the club's Barclays Premier League game against Sunderland.
- Related Content
The European champions had asked for their December 8 clash at the Stadium of Light to be moved in order to allow them to travel early to Japan for the 10-day tournament.
But that request was this week denied, leaving a fuming Di Matteo to moan that Chelsea had not been given enough time to acclimatise to the time difference ahead of their semi-final on December 13.
The Italian said: "You would think that the Premier League would have every interest in making sure that they give you the best chance to be successful in Japan, which would reflect very, very well on English football and the Premier League. So, I'm very surprised about it.
"I just can't my head round it. To give yourself the best chance travelling to Japan, with nine hours' time difference, arriving three days before, you will need to do everything in your power to be able to ready for those games.
"The tournament starts on the sixth so the team we play in the semi-finals will have been there already for a week.
"It's a big risk in terms of health, injury risk for the players too."
The Italian added: "The fixture list is obviously very full.
"But where there's a will, there's a way. You see all the other federations trying to help their teams to do well in Europe."
It is not the first time Di Matteo has been angered by the scheduling of Chelsea's fixtures, the club having campaigned furiously to avoid a 6pm kick-off in last season's FA Cup semi-final days before their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
The Club World Cup is not as highly regarded in England as European competitions but Di Matteo said: "It's one of the biggest trophies in international club football, if not the biggest.
"Maybe, in England, it's not regarded as so big but you speak to the South Americans, you speak to the Asians, you speak to everybody else involved, it's a massive, massive competition.
"We've never won it. Obviously you need to win the Champions League to even be able to play and be involved. To win that trophy would be something special.
"It's massive. Winning that trophy would mean the world.
"It's a trophy we don't have in our cabinet and we desperately want to bring it to Stamford Bridge."
Di Matteo could field a weakened team at Sunderland but that would risk a Premier League fine.
He said: "If you field players from your squad, I'm not so sure you can call it a weakened side. They register a squad, 25 men."
The Premier League discussed Chelsea's request at board level but declined to comment on Di Matteo's complaint.
Manchester United won the Club World Cup in 2008 despite also playing a league match at Tottenham five days before their semi-final.
They also went on to clinch the Premier League title and reach the Champions League final.

Report: Freddy Sanchez to Start Year on DL; Nowhere Close to Being Ready
San Francisco Giants' second baseman Freddy Sanchez will reportedly start the year on the disabled list, but even worse news for the Giants is that it appears Sanchez is nowhere close to suiting up and taking his place at second base for this team.
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman confirmed the speculated news that Sanchez was DL-bound on Thursday, and it appears Sanchez' shoulder that was injured last season has not progressed to the extent that the Giants organization would have liked.

Are you interested in finding your ancestors or long lost cousins who carry the same blood line you do, irrespective of when and where they lived in the world?Do you need guidance to find your ancestors, your family members, your cousins? I have helped many people searching and finding their ancestors around the world. I found over 300 original family documents for a single client. When a family surname had been changed, I found the ancestor's original name. When two people had the same name, living at about the same time in the same geographic area, I traced the "right" ancestor. Many of my clients met their relatives and saw in them common physical traits and some created new friendships.
I am a Canadian, born in Montréal, a graduate of universities in Canada and USA and I have lived in different European cities. I am a published bilingual writer, genealogist, lecturer and researcher presently living in California. I give conferences in English and in French on topics of history and genealogy, in the USA, Canada and Europe. I spoke on three topics of history and genealogy at the International Genealogy Conference held in Paris. I specialized in European (Western and Eastern), Canadian and USA genealogy and history research for 30 years and was trained by my cousin, Father Georges-Henri Cournoyer, a priest, genealogist and researcher in Genetics working for the Québec Government Health Department.
I have Acadian, Canadian, Germanic and French heritages. Certain of my ancestors were Catholics, others Protestants. Some of my ancestors' first names and surnames got transformed over time, as is often the case with non-English names. I help numerous searchers from the New England and other areas with the transformed names phenomenon. As a researcher and writer, my articles have been published in various magazines - Heritage Quest Magazine, Everton's Family History Magazine; the American-Canadian Genealogist, Family Tree Magazine; Acadian Genealogy Exchange; History Magazine; Je Me Souviens; L'Ancêtre; Les Mémoires; Le Bourgeois and on Internet sites like Global Gazette. I have won writer's contests.
The magazine l'Ancêtre of Québec chose one of my articles as the best study (meilleure étude). After completing the reading of this page and sending your genealogy search information, I suggest you go to Testimonials1 where fifteen of my clients wrote their opinions of my work.
If you would like to start your genealogy search, may I suggest that you send me what you know about your ancestors, their names, actual or approximate date(s) and place(s) where they were born, married and died, more than one generation if possible and I will respond to you with an estimate of cost to trace your genealogy family line(s) wherever they lived.

Bromocriptine, sold under the brand name Paroldel, belongs to a class of drugs known as ergot alkaloids and is used to treat women suffering from infertility due to excessive production of prolactin (hyperprolactinemia) or pituitary tumors, and men with hypogonadism. It may also be combined with clomiphene (Clomid) to treat infertility in women who do not produce excessive prolactin, such as those with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Bromocriptine mimics the neurotransmitters in the woman's body that inhibit prolactin secretion, thereby blocking its production by the pituitary gland. A small amount of prolactin is usually present in the blood of women who are not pregnant, while a large concentration is present during pregnancy and right after birth.
Excessive prolactin production, a condition called hyperprolactinemia, inhibits the production of FSH and LH hormones, thereby preventing ovulation and menstruation. You may be producing excessive amounts of prolactin due to a pituitary adenoma (a benign tumor on your pituitary gland) or if you are taking prescription medication such as antidepressants, opiate drugs or painkillers. Bromocriptine is also prescribed for men who have hypogonadism, when their bodies produce low levels of gonadotropins (FSH and LH), which inhibits the production of testosterone and thus, the proper production of sperm. In addition to low sperm count, a low testosterone level can also contribute to low sex drive and erectile dysfunction.
If your doctor prescribes Bromocriptine, you will take it orally every day until your basal body temperature or an LH kit indicates you are ovulating or you become pregnant. It usually takes between 6 and 8 weeks for it to begin working. Side effects can range from mild to moderate and may include dizziness, nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, and headaches. Rarely, women experience more severe symptoms. If you experience negative side effects your doctor may recommend you administer it vaginally at night before bed to limit such side effects. Your doctor can also limit the side effects by increasing the dosage gradually, beginning with a half dose.
You shouldn't take bromocriptine if you have (or have a history of) high blood pressure, pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, liver disease, or mental problems. And because the drug is potentially harmful to young fetuses, you should use a barrier method of birth control until normal ovulation has been achieved and you cease taking the medication.
Approximately 90 percent of women with hyperprolactinemia achieve ovulation with bromocriptine, with 65 to 85 percent of those achieving pregnancy. Bromocriptine does not increase the likelihood of multiples.
One cycle of bromocriptine costs approximately $75 to $112, and your insurance company may not cover the treatment.

Maybe they joined with their zanpakuto's like in that one filler movie with the guy who became one with his sword so he would be super powerful but everyone says not to do it, maybe zero squad did it lol and thats why they don't have zans
A pie in the sky?
Your idea is way cooler than mine paul! Id like to see that more, it would show such a level of synch with their souls and zanpakuto that I would expect no less from squad 0. Hope this weeks chapter shows us something exciting or at the very least a ton of new info

I say aizen can beat everyone in zero squad all by himself at the same time

Aldes Stainless Steel Exhaust Wall Hood for 4" Duct.
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about American Aldes Aldes Stainless Steel Exhaust Wall Hood for 4" Duct:
Used to route the exhaust from an inline fan to the side of the house, only a few inches above ground level. We placed a wedge of wood between the hood and the house so that the door would stay more tightly closed when the fan was off. This was so small animals wouldn't enter. This stainless steel hood was well constructed and should last the life of the house.

More home comforts for Wasps
A review of the weekend's action in the Aviva Premiership, including Wasps' victory over Sale on Sunday.
- Related Content
Wasps made it eight competitive wins from eight at Adams Park this season after claiming a 25-18 victory over Sale, who remain well adrift at the bottom of the Aviva Premiership standings despite earning a bonus point.
Heading into the clash on the back of a record Heineken Cup defeat in losing 62-0 at Toulon last weekend, Sale outscored Wasps two tries to one through efforts from Richie Vernon and Johnny Leota.
However, it was Wasps who took the spoils thanks to a try from T Rhys Thomas, 14 points from the boot of Stephen Jones and further penalties from Elliot Daly and Nicky Robinson.
Wasps number eight Billy Vunipola was the star performer, impressing with his powerful running and his ball handling skills, and it was he who set up the crucial try for Thomas with an outstanding piece of play.
On Saturday, Charlie Hodgson steered Saracens to a crushing 22-0 victory over Bath with a masterly performance in treacherous conditions at the Recreation Ground.
The former England fly-half kicked five penalties and set up a try for half-back partner Richard Wigglesworth with the one moment of magic in the game. And he added the conversion for good measure.
Bath had very little to offer and too often found themselves in the wrong areas of the pitch, unable to break the stranglehold, let alone to fashion a telling break themselves.
Harlequins got their wet game right at Franklin's Gardens to stay top of the league and knock Northampton out of the top four.
With England boss Stuart Lancaster watching in the stands, the persistent rain made it an attritional game as Nick Evans kicked all of Quins' points, with his ninth penalty being the last kick of the game to deny Northampton a losing bonus point.
Quins had the edge up front, with Northampton's lineout malfunctioning and in Mike Brown, the visitors had the safest hands on the pitch as he took every up-and-under launched at him.
Northampton's points came through two penalties from Stephen Myler and one from Ryan Lamb.
But they will be ruing a first-half Ben Foden try being ruled out for a forward pass, which replays showed was wrongly called by the touch judge.
Leicester were unconvincing but ultimately ran out comfortable 31-9 winners over struggling London Irish at the Madejski Stadium.
The Tigers built up an early 14-0 lead and seemed in control but they allowed a battling Irish side a foothold in the game through three penalties from Ian Humphreys.
A penalty from Toby Flood and two late converted tries gave Leicester a flattering final scoreline in their favour.
Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns kicked six penalties to lead his side to victory over Exeter in their clash at Kingsholm.
Visiting hooker Simon Alcott scored the only try of a cracking clash, but the highly-rated England prospect Burns punished the Chiefs as Gloucester came from behind to win by two points.
Exeter fly-half Gareth Steenson converted Alcott's try and added three penalties of his own but it was not enough.
Semisi Taulava's excellent try was the sole highlight of Worcester's 13-6 win over a spirited London Welsh in a dismal game at Sixways on Friday night.
Taulava's effort, midway through the second half, was the difference between the two sides and had Gordon Ross not missed with three kickable penalties, Welsh could have easily come away with the points.
The visitors edged the forward battle and had more possession and territory but lacked the creativity to break down a stubborn home defence as they failed to capitalise on the yellow-carding of Taulava.
Ross kicked all six of Welsh's points from penalties, with Andy Goode converting Taulava's try and adding two penalties.

Great job thank to the team and garage changed all 4 disks and breack pads in no time and at a reassonable price Thank You
Really pleased at the service received.
I got a big dent in the left side back door of my car. They really were professional and the job was done perfectly with reasonable price. They even cleaned up the inside of my car as well as fixed other minor dent. Thank you very much Shahid and the team! I will definitely recommend this shop.
Very friendly and welcoming people. Just went for normal servicing, my car seems to have improved in fuel economy feels like driving different car. They even checked my another car free of cost and gave me their views on what needs to be done if I am ready for it. Customer service is first class. I will surely returning again.
Thoroughly satisfied with the work carried out at this garage. Job was completed quickly and properly. Customer service was excellent also. Highly recommended.
The VERY best home delivery and service you could ever want! Thank you for the wonderful service, I shall definitely be back! its not often you find a garage that is honest and reliable.
Very professional and completed the job at the time stated and charged the price quoted.
These guys are great! Originally quoted £1200 but as it was an insurance job new parts were required which increased the price but the damage would have been repaired at the original price if required. Robert and his team saved my car from being written off by insurance and they couldn't have done a better job! The car was repaired to a high standard and I was very impressed with the body work and re-spray. The guys did some extras for me as well which was very much appreciated and when some minor adjustments had to be made a few days after returning my car, they were done straight away with no fuss! The use of a decent courtesy car helped me out immensely as well. I would definitely recommend this garage for the fast, efficient, friendly and excellent work they did for me. Thanks again to all who worked on my car and to Robert for being up front about everything - Cheers - Richard.
Good and friendly people. Fast and good skilled brake pads and disks replacement.
Prompt friendly sevice,seem genuine,will definitely use again
friendly, knowledgeable and efficient
Car repair was done to good standard (slight delay in getting it back from them due to paint shop issues) They were polite and kept me informed throughout. Polite and friendly. Not dealership level repair but good enough for the price.
Always a pleasure dealing with these guys as legit as they come, I would recommend they be your first choice you won't be disappointed. First class service.
Excellent service, Majeed came to collect my car as scheduled and returned few hours later. They had to carry out an additional minor repair which indeed was required, as per previous MOT certificate - advisories. All went fine and I am happy with the result. Would definitely recommend them -- their prices are very competitive !!
They did a good job, I wwas pleased.
Initially the car was alright for a while, but not sure if I can recommend the garage because I had problem with my car this past Saturday. The car didn't start at all and had to be assisted before getting on the road, whilst on the road, the car kept revving noisily till I got to my destination in Radlett. I will have to take the car back to the garage to be checked again. I've not had time to contact the garage because of my work schedule. They seemed nice and I wish my complaint will be dealt with promptly so that I can give a better review.
Done a great job, my car was picked up and brought back as I wished. Changed reasonable for an extra part. Will definitely use again.
The guys were very helpful and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
New clutch, one new tyre and a few other little bits, highly recommend, good service and kept me updated throughout
Alex was friendly and informative, I would recommend this garage. My car was fixed within 24 hours which was great and as an extra bonus i was also provided a courtesy car which was very handy. This garage will be my go-to garage from now. Thank you very much.
absolutely superb service from Alex. highly recommended and i will continue to use for all my cars. the guy was very honest and fair and treated us better then most main dealers. Southgate motor engineering is a example to how all garages should do business.customer for life
had my car remapped stage 1 from 122 bhp - 142 bhp Made a really nice change to the car with the extra power, great work at a great garage, would recommend 100%
Absolutely brilliant service. Quoted and delivered work faster than expected. Would definitely recommend.
Experienced garage who dealt with a number of separate issues very well, including ordering in specialist parts. Returning to find the car washed and vacuumed was a nice touch. 8 stars rather than 10 purely for the fact that I was informed they would need to keep the car overnight and it was only when I put my foot down that the job was finished on the day. Normally I'd accept that but I had dropped the car off at 7am so clearly had hoped to be first in the queue!
Very good on the whole, the mechanic was able to fix the problem within half an hour. Branko very helpful and honest. Will definitely go again. They are a little pricey compared to the other estimates I received but you are guaranteed a very top service.
They were great, really nice people, very quick, would use again.
Very happy with service, done a decent job, would use again.
Pleased with the work done, would use again.

Virgin Blue Offers Free Seats for Interstate Firefighters08/01/2002
Virgin Blue today offered spare seats on flights to and from Sydney to assist the New South Wales fire fighting effort.
The company believed that so many had done so much to help in recent weeks, that it would only be right for Virgin Blue to lend a hand.
Rob Sherrard, Deputy CEO of Virgin Blue said, "Over the weekend we read how much has already been spent fighting the fires and it seems wrong that the states should be asked to give even more when we have some empty seats on business routes that tend not to run full in January.
He continued, "While it's our hope that the worst of this tragic situation is behind us, we'll be glad to assist by flying home any firefighter, especially those who gave up their holidays to help the effort. If further reinforcements are needed, we will be happy to bring them there and back as well.
"Since Virgin Blue flys to all the neighbouring states of NSW, it seems only natural we would extended our assistance on the routes where we've received strong support in recent months", Rob Sherrard concluded.
Virgin Blue, who recently earned an $8 million profit for the six months to 30 September, believes it has responsibility to the community to pitch in at times like these when many have lost or given so much.
The airline will carry the firefighters and other key emergency service workers on confirmed seats on services between Sydney and Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Melbourne.
Virgin Blue will forego all airfares and will only charge taxes, the Ansett levy and any other standard surcharges.
This offer will be valid for the next 15 days and Virgin Blue will review extending it if the bush fire situation still requires ongoing support.
The emergency services will be provided with a special reservation number to book seats.

It's safe to say that when opening the season against two teams that qualified for last year's playoffs, Eldorado went into those games as the hunter.
Now, after back-to-back wins to start the season, the Eagles are very well aware they are now the hunted.
For Eldorado head coach Brandon Hampton, he's okay with the proverbial target being on the back of his ballclub. It's also the realization that his team has to get better.
Eldorado will put its unbeaten streak on the line when they invade Spann Field Friday night in the second road game of the year for the Eagles.
"Our challenge this week could be worrying about Christoper-Zeigler-Royalton, but instead, we want to take care of us and do what we need to do to get better," Hampton said.
Eldorado is one of three other teams in the Black Diamond Conference to start the season 2-0. Also out to perfect starts are Vienna-Goreville, Fairfield and Chester.
The Yellow Jackets ranked as the No. 6 ballclub in this week's Associated Press Top 10 Class 2A prep football poll.
Hampton accepts the great accomplishment that has been set by his ballclub, but reminds his team this is no time to rest on their laurels.
"This week, our message to them is Christoper-Zeigler-Royalton is the most important game on our schedule. We need to play a certain way to keep getting better.
"The challenge for our team is how good do you want to be? The target now goes on your back now and with our defense playing shut out football, teams are looking to score on your now to say they were 'that team.'"
The Bearcats got their first win of the season beating Elverado-Trico 49-6. C-Z-R is led by senior quarterback Jacob Towers, who started a few games for the Bearcats a year ago.
Hampton got a first hand look at the Bearcats during some 7-on-7 drills this past summer and was impressed with what he saw.
"They were able to throw it around. They are primarily a Wing-T type team and they do get into some pistol formation. It's really unique for southern Illinois and the Black Diamond Conference in terms of scheme. It's a lot like the Wing-T, but it's something different to prepare for."
Plenty challenges await Eldorado, not just this week, but in weeks to come. For Hampton, his primary challenge for his team is getting better week by week.
"We want to make sure we are getting better and that's what was so key for us last week. We improved from Week 1 to Week 2 in some areas that we needed too, like in the secondary and that will be our challenge this week as well."

|Posted by Jon on December 15, 2003 at 20:18:06:
The supply pipes underneath the sink in my basement are leaking when the water supply valves to the sink are turned on. I thought that the problem was only with the nut behind the valve being too loose, so I tightened it. This seems to have stopped the leak there except that there is another leak where the supply line, just behind the nut I tightened, from the valve goes up to the sink's faucet. The water gushes out from the top of the nut that connects the supply line to the faucet to the water supply valve. This link gives an illustration of my problem:
The leak occurs when the supply valve to the sink is turned on. Following the above illustration, the water leaks from the top of the nut being loosened by the wrench. If the problem is the nut being too loose, do I tighten it by turning it clockwise? If this does not solve the problem, does the pipe need to be replaced? Or can it be fixed by soldering the joint?

This is our Keeshond, Foxie who will be 12 in August.
I used the June 2009 ScrapGirls Monthly Kit Beauté Botanique by Keri Schueller.
I created the wordart in my ScrapGirls 3D online Class which just ended.
Cute page, love how you used the swirl embellie in the kit to lead into the nice cluster at the bottom of the frame.
Wow, your dog does look foxy . I love the photo and the cluster of items in the corner of your photo. I also really like the foxy down the side of the page. Beautiful collection you've used here!
I think you've just convinced me to buy Beauté Botanique - been looking at it for a while.
That's a gorgeous layout - and cuddly-looking dog!
That's a gorgeous layout - and cuddly-looking dog!
This is a beautiful dog and you did a wonderful job on the Word Art! What a wonderful way to show the most beautiful Kit I've ever seen in the clubs!
Awww, what a sweet pup! You did a great job on the 3D word art and the layout is beautiful!

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have achieved remarkable progress in development since 1990. But the job is not finished, and we still have a long way to go to reverse the increasing gap between rich and poor, the continuing environmental degradation and reduce the consequences of climate change.
From October 2012 to October 2013 the UN related organizations in Norway have facilitated 15 thematic consultations on the Post-2015 Development Agenda. The outcome of this process was presented in a summary report that was presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at a seminar held 24 October in Oslo.

My name is Mavrick. I'm a fifth grader at Harlan Intermediate School in Harlan, Iowa. My class is studying the geography and history of the United States. I picked Utah because of the four corners. I also heard that the Indians were in Utah. I would really appreciate it if you could send me some pictures, souvenirs and other information. My teacher, Mrs. Newlin would love a license plate for a school project, if possible. I really appreciate all of your time.

You may recall my my blog posts Thankful Thursday: Thank Goodness I Began My Blog --Part one, Thank Goodness I Began My Blog --Part two, and Thank Goodness I Began My Blog --Part three. If you missed this series click on the links above to read. Those posts will provide the background on why I am so excited today.
Today, my mother and her first cousin Rudi are going to speak via Skype for the first time. This will be my first time speaking to him on Skype. We had spoken over the phone previously but I just can't wait to see him. You know I will be analyzing his face and every expression to see if I can catch a glimpse of any of my grandfather's mannerisms. My maternal grandfather, Lemuel Harrison, and Rudi's father, Rudolph Henry Harrison, were brothers.
I can't get over how amazingly blessed we all are to live in a time when this is possible.
Feeling happy!
Just my way of sharing with family, friends, and anyone who will listen, the things that I have learned about my ancestors with a little bit about myself and my own little family in the mix.

Heavy shoes!
"I really love the look of these shoes!!! They are so cute!! However, I'm going to return them. They are very heavy and are very big and loose around the ankles. I'm sad to return them."

SO worth it!
"OMG, they are gorgeous! I got tons of compliments both times I've worn them. I have a cognac color, but am thinking seriously about the black as well. They are really sexy, stylish boots! Well made, but I added Dr. Scholls Ball Of Foot comfort soles. I was on my feet in these for 9 hours the first time I wore them and I did a lot of walking on concrete and they served me well!"

"I love the details on this boot.The heel plays a great part to my decision to buy as well. Looking forward to wearing them with a pair of fitted jeans. I am some what disappointed because when I ordered the boot the only option was Brown( which I love), now I see it comes in two other colors. Had to return the first pair I ordered because they shippped the wrong size. The Shoephoria Rep was very accomodating and rushed the correct size out. Beautiful Boot ! Go for it."

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare disorder that damages the material (myelin) that covers and protects nerves in the white matter of the brain.
The JC virus (JCV) causes PML. By age 10, most people have been infected with this virus, but it hardly ever causes symptoms.
Anyone with a weakened immune system, however, are at greater risk of developing PML. Causes of a weakened immune system include:
Tests may include:
In people with AIDS, treatment to strengthen the immune system can lead to recovery from the symptoms of PML. No other treatments have proved effective for PML.
PML is a life-threatening condition. Talk to your doctor about care decisions.

About the Department of Neurology
The UC Davis Department of Neurology consists of faculty members who are engaged in clinical care and research and in basic neuroscience research. There are 24 clinical faculty, 18 research faculty, 15 residents, 3 clinical fellows, 8 postdoctoral research fellows, and 77 administrative, clinical, and research support staff. The Department of Neurology is a comprehensive department of clinical and basic neuroscience because of the presence of clinicians, clinician scientists, and basic scientists, with a strong focus on translation of research results into practice.
Our faculty and staff are committed to the complementary goals of:
- Providing high quality neurological care for the people of Sacramento and Northern California;
- Providing outstanding educational opportunities for medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians;
- Achieving new understanding of the nervous system and discovering better ways to diagnose, treat, cure, and comfort those with neurological disease.
Clinical faculty in the department provide instruction in the Neurology 420 course for second year medical students and the Neurology 450 clinical neurology clerkship, an elective for fourth year medical students. Five neurology residents enter the program each year, and the program currently is approved for 15 residents. The department's residency program recently received reaccreditation for five years by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the maximum term possible.
During the past two years, there were more than 15,000 patient visits to the outpatient neurology faculty practice at the UC Davis Health System neurology clinic in Sacramento. In addition, Department of Neurology faculty members care for patients in the UC Davis Primary Care Network (a group of regional clinics) and at the VA Northern California Health Care System hospitals at Mather and Martinez.
Departmental faculty are affiliated with the Institute for Pediatric Regenerative Medicine at the Shriners Hospital for Children Northern California, the UC Davis MIND Institute and the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain. Several faculty members are affiliated with the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience, located adjacent to the main UC Davis campus in Davis, about 25 minutes from Sacramento.

Leather Paper Bag
The good thing about men's bag "trends", if you may, is that because of the slow pace by which men's fashion moves, little investments in bags pay off through a significant period of time. Take the tote: scandalously feminine when it made its debut about ten years ago—ubiquitous and almost ruggedly utilitarian today. The clutch, which I had previously shunned, seems to make perfect sense now.
It's handy, it packs the overflow of essentials pockets can't carry, and unlike smaller bags with straps on them, clutches do nothing to obstruct the lines of a carefully-chosen outfit and do little to stir the harmony of proportions in a look. The leather "paper bag" clutch was one of the pieces that stood out for me on the Jil Sander Fall 2012 runway, I thought it would be a useful, more relaxed counterpart to my Céline.
14 Comments
Sweet, simple and tasteful. Perfect for nearly anything I'd wear. Great choice!
I am so ridiculously jealous that you have this bag!
I hummed and hawed about getting one when they first came out but I should have just splurged immediately because they sold out here on day one. I'm a bit surprised it's unlined – like Mulberry bags too – I always prefer a nice lining. My nails end up black by the end of the day if I use my unlined leather bag…
My Adaism alternative is currently on its way from Portugal. I'm excited.
Congrats! Oh I thought you got the Jil! Glad to hear that a blog post of mine sparked a purchase!
Love it!
it's a little bit odd
i'm not sure it's confy to wear it
Want it.
fits you perfectly!
pictured is the women's version
this is not fair PERIOD!
it looks ok, not that femme to me, can be unisex.
It is perfect!
Hello !
Great choice ! Do you Know where I can find letters like those ones (jil sander silver's one) ? I am doing my DIY and I want to have my name written on my bag !
Thank you !
Tara: Try some leather craft stores, they might have individual letters that you can punch in yourself.

Canadians Garrett May and Sam Schachter win world junior volleyball title
ANYALA, Turkey – Garrett May and Sam Schachter, both of Toronto, defeated second-seeds Alvaro Filho and Vitor Felipe of Brazil 21-23, 21-16, 15-13 to win the gold medal on Sunday at the world junior championships in beach volleyball.
It is Canada's first medal in the 10-year history of the tournament.
"It feels incredible," said May, 18, about winning the 78-team tournament. "At first it was disbelief, but now we're blabbering like a bunch of babies."
May and Schachter completed the tournament with a 7-0 record and lost three sets overall. Besides the second seed Brazilians they also knocked off the sixth, seventh and 10th seeds this week.
Sunday's 64-minute final was a nail-biter as the 18th seed Canadians showed an unwavering determination to get the victory against a team from the sport's superpower nation.
"Both teams played really solid," said May, fourth last month at the world youth championships with Nick del Bianco of Surrey, B.C. "It was a battle of who could last the longest. But we always had the confidence we could win this tournament from the start. That was our goal."
For the second straight match, Schachter needed a medical time-out because of the intense heat.
"All the teams here have great skills but we had incredible trust in each other and that was probably our biggest weapon," said Schachter, who grew up in Richmond Hill, Ont. "We overcame some big obstacles, always had the toughest draws in the playoffs but we couldn't be stopped.
"It was amazing."
The Canadian pair land in Toronto on Monday afternoon.

Aquamarine Cut Stones
per page
The name aquamarine itself conjures up images of a tranquil blue sea speckled with sparkly sun-dust, little wonder then, that its literal translation from the Latin means water of the sea - aqua water, marine sea. Aquamarines belong to the gem family beryl that also counts the emerald as its member. Aquamarines are available in a multitude of shapes, sizes, hues and can be fashioned into beads, cabochons and cut stones as well.
Legends consider aquamarine as the treasure of Atlantis, with the power to keep sailors safe at sea.
Not surprisingly ancient Greeks and Romans valued the aquamarine as a sailor's stone for protection. An aquamarine was usually worn to ensure a safe and prosperous passage across stormy seas. Several other cultures such as the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Hebrews also admired aquamarine and considered it a symbol of happiness, courage and everlasting youth. This soothingly colored stone is believed to have a calming influence on relationships, especially marriage. Aquamarine is the birthstone for March and is often chosen to be gifted on anniversaries.
Beacab.com has several aquamarines cut stones ranging from 20 carats to almost 100 carats. Colors range from a soothing pale blue to an intense deep sea blue, ideal for setting into a statement ring or pendant.

Look, we love tattoos. But we all know that when something is "forever", a lot of times we end up regretting it. Take Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Baldwin for example: Marky Mark tattooed his own initials on his arm, and Stephen got "HM" for Miley Cyrus' alter ego, Hannah Montana on his! Why not avoid the embarrassment of forever marking your body and get your favorite jeans "tattooed" instead? Denim Therapy offers a denim monogramming service that will let you show off your love of Miley, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your best friend, your kids, or even yourself (Oh, Mark…) It's affordable, painless, and way easier to get rid of in ten years. Try it today!

He pairs a pair of bleached out jeans with a thoroughly buttoned shirt in an overall dark and subtle camo print. We really dig how the two textures give off a cool and modern vibe! Too much going on for your taste? Throwing on a cool hooded leather jacket will not only tone things down and anchor things but will add an extra bit of edge! We've broken the look down for you for some style direction, check it out bellow!

If the worst threatened—a rogue nuclear state with a horrible surprise, a global health crisis, the collapse of financial institutions from New York to Shanghai and Mumbai—where would the world look for leadership?
The United States, with its paralyzed politics and battered balance sheet? A European Union reeling from self-inflicted wounds? China's "people's democracy"? Perhaps Brazil, Turkey, or India, the geopolitical rookies of the year? Or some grand coalition of survivors, the last nations standing after half a decade of recession-induced turmoil? How about none of the above?

Did You Know? Countdown to Purim (03/12)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore About the Jewish Holiday of Purim
Mar 12 : 07 days till Purim
Did you know that the word Purim is Hebrew for "lots"?
The name of the holiday refers to the plot of the king's advisor, Haman, to draw lots for which Jews to kill first. He planned to massacre all the Jews. Esther, one of the king's wives and a Jewess herself, saved the Jewish people from Haman's "lots" plot by revealing it to the king.
Did you know that the only holy Jewish book in which the word for "lots" appears is the Book of Esther, traditionally read on Purim?
The most festive of Jewish holidays, Purim is a time of noisemakers, costumes and tasty treats. The Festival of Purim commemorates a major victory over oppression and is recounted in the Megillah, the scroll of the story of Esther. Purim begins at sundown on Saturday March 19, 2011.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fun fact each day as we countdown to Purim! So stop by again tomorrow.

Victorian jockey Glen Boss declared crack colt All Too Hard the obvious choice to fill the void left by Ocean Park and become the nation's supreme weight-for-age middle-distance performer.
However, the leading group one rider also nominated another 3-year-old, Proisir, as the horse most likely to develop into an elite galloper.
Combine Ocean Park's absence with the retirement of Mackinnon Stakes winner Alcopop, Sincero being ruled out for the season with injury, the fitness cloud over Atlantic Jewel, and top stayers Green Moon and Puissance De Lune likely to have restricted autumn campaigns, and the middle-distance ranks are suddenly looking very thin.
"There doesn't seem to be a lot of depth in the older ranks so you are looking to the 3-year-olds to step up and the standout among them is All Too Hard," Boss told the Herald-Sun.
All Too Hard, the half-brother to world champion sprinter Black Caviar, underlined his outstanding ability last spring beating Pierro in the Caulfield Guineas before his second to Ocean Park in the Cox Plate.
Trained by hall of famer John Hawkes in partnership with his sons, Wayne and Michael, All Too Hard is set to begin his autumn campaign in the first group one race of the year, the A$400,000 ($495,000) CF Orr Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday.
The Orr has attracted 11 entries, including King Mufhasa, Mawingo, Pinwheel, Wall Street and Callanish.
Boss rode against All Too Hard in a jump-out trial at Flemington last Friday and was impressed with the colt's development over summer.
"The way All Too Hard looked the other day in that trial, he has matured into a magnificent colt," Boss said.
"He has grown tall and athletic which is a great sign for the horse's connections. What he did the other day, they way he went into the barriers, jumped cleanly, cruised along nice and relaxed, then gave a very good kick was just outstanding."
Hawkes has also nominated All Too Hard for the A$200,000 Expressway Stakes (1200m) at Warwick Farm on Saturday in case of wet weather in Melbourne.
Boss, runaway leader in the Melbourne jockeys' premiership, said he was also taken by the Gai Waterhouse-trained Proisir.
"Proisir won the Spring Stakes at Newcastle and ended up contesting a Cox Plate, running competitively, and all in his first preparation.
"I can't ever remember a horse doing what he did last spring. He has a lot of talent; he could be anything."

Gold medal winner Kerri Walsh Jennings revealed on NBC's Today show that she was pregnant while competing in beach volleyball at the London Olympics.
Jennings, who won the past three gold medals in the sport with partner Misty May-Treanor, told Matt Lauer that "when I was throwing my body around fearlessly, and going for gold for our country, I was pregnant, and today I'm 11 weeks pregnant."
Jennings and her husband, Casey Jennings, have two sons, Joey, 3, and Sundance, 2.
The volleyballer said she knew something was up because "I'm a pretty happy girl and I was unreasonably moody. I thought it could have been the stress of the Games, and travel kind of throws your schedule off, but I knew. At some point, you're late and then you start feeling something. And I definitely started feeling something in London."
Dr. Nancy Snyderman, NBC's chief medical editor, said there was no danger in Jennings competing and that "the risk that she put to herself and the fetus was zero to none."

By Steve Pratt, special to USTA.com
CALABASAS, Calif. – Kaley Cuoco, star of the hit TV show, "The Big Bang Theory," showed flashes of the form that made her a competitive USTA junior player during the "Kaley Cuoco & Friends Exhibition," held March 22 in conjunction with the USTA Men's Pro Tennis Championships of Calabasas, Calif.
Cuoco, 28, teamed with her newlywed husband, tennis pro Ryan Sweeting, in an exhibition – which featured mini-matches and shot skills – before the featured semifinal match at the $15,000 USTA Pro Circuit Futures event between UCLA junior Marcos Giron of Thousand Oaks, Calif., and No. 6-seeded Mate Pavic of Croatia, which unseeded Giron eventually won, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
Cuoco and her husband played with Calabasas Tennis & Swim Center pros Brady Heite, Natasha Mucci, Ahmad Shiraz and Jonas Wallgard for 20 minutes, while tournament director Steve McAvoy handled the commentary over the public address system.
"Ryan gave me a lot of pointers yesterday," Cuoco said. "Actually, I have been practicing for about three weeks. I thought I was going to want to kill him, but he was very sweet about it. My game is still deep down there somewhere."
Cuoco hit strong forehands and backhands during the exhibition but said she wasn't expecting as much of a workout. "That was like a Wayne Bryan workout with all the running around," said the TV star, who trained as a junior under the Bryan brothers' father.
"I remember watching her train," said Mucci, a tennis instructor at the Calabasas Tennis & Swim Center. "She looks fantastic, like she has been playing a little tennis lately."
"Her key is she intimidates opponents," said Sweeting, who lost to Roberto Marcora in the opening round of the Calabasas Futures, his first tournament in a year following a back injury. In 2010, Sweeting lost in the singles final to Marinko Matosevic of Australia in the Calabasas Challenger final. "Kaley understands the trajectory of the ball now, rather than just hitting it."
Cuoco and Sweeting were introduced last summer by mutual friend Mike Bryan. Kaley and Mike were friends during their youth tennis days, where both trained at the Cabrillo Racquet Club under Wayne and Kathy Bryan.
"I grew up with the Bryans, and we have been in each other's lives forever," Cuoco said. "I remember Wayne saying, 'My sons are going to be the No. 1 doubles players in the world' when they were only 10, and that's exactly what they did."
Cuoco and Sweeting – who were married on New Year's Eve – met after a World TeamTennis match in Dallas in August.
"I was playing for the Sacramento Capitals, and the Bryans played for Dallas," Sweeting said. "I flew from Dallas to meeting Kaley in L.A., and I haven't left. I sold my house in Fort Lauderdale two weeks after I met her."
"I knew Ryan had to be a good guy if Mike was friends with him," Cuoco said. "Mike thinks he's a good matchmaker; however, his wife Lucille had a lot to do with it. I think they are fighting to this day about who actually introduced us."
"The Big Bang Theory" was recently renewed for another three years on CBS, and Cuoco couldn't be happier. "It feels amazing, and I can't believe it," Cuoco said. "I feel very lucky to be a part of something so incredible."

Comments regarding the I-95 Transit and TDM plan can be sent to Public Information Office, DRPT, 600 E. Main Street, Suite 2102, Richmond, VA 23219 or to email@example.com by Oct. 26, 2011.
The proposed I-95 HOV/HOT Lanes would:
- Provide a seamless connection to the I-495 HOT lanes (under construction) and Tysons Corner.
- Add new or improved access to and from the HOV/HOT network at key locations along the corridor.
- Expand the I-95 HOV lanes from two to three lanes for 14 miles, from the vicinity of Edsall Road to the Prince William Parkway.
- Extend the HOV lanes for nine miles, from Dumfries in Prince William County to Garrisonville Road in Stafford County, alleviating the worst bottleneck in the region. Stafford County would have HOV lanes for the first time.
- Improve six miles of existing HOV lanes from the Prince William Parkway to Route 234.
- Allow free travel for carpools with three or more persons as well as buses, vanpools, motorcycles and emergency vehicles.
- Charge single person vehicles a toll based on time of day and travel distance.
Construction could begin as early as spring 2012 and likely take three years to complete. The $1 billion project is being financed and constructed under Virginia's Public Private Transportation Act with the majority funded by the private sector and support from a state contribution.

Fall Wedding Centerpiece
Create a unique and elegant centerpiece that can be used as a fall wedding table decoration or as a homemade Thanksgiving centerpiece
When autumn arrives, so do the brilliant fall colors of orange, gold, rust and more. But consider going green this Thanksgiving by fashioning the arrangement featured here. Instead of pumpkins, grab hold of white gourds in assorted sizes. Your grocer's produce section is the source for flowering kale and sprigs of fresh rosemary and sage.
A bounty of white and muted green flowers rounds out the centerpiece. We used hydrangea, licorice vine,
millet, blue thistle, tallow berry, dusty miller and hypericum. For natural napkin rings, make the Cabbage
Leaf Napkin Rings as instructed below.
How to Make Cabbage Leaf Napkin Rings
Why buy napkin rings to go with the "gourd-eous" centerpiece above when you can make your own natrual variety? Start by folding a square dinner napkin in half to make a rectangle. Roll up tightly, starting from a short side; set aside.
Step 1
Slightly overlap the stem ends of two ornamental cabbage leaves; wrap craft wire around the ends to secure.
Step 2
Wrap the leaves around the rolled napkin, overlapping the leaves on top. Use a wooden skewer to make small holes in and out of the leaves. Remove the skewer; insert a small twig in and out of the holes.
