Altered Protein Shapes May Explain Differences in Some Brain Diseases
NIH-funded study finds that various strains of alpha-synuclein have diverse effects in neurons
It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch, and the same may be true of certain proteins in the brain. Studies have suggested that just one rogue protein (in this case, a protein that is misfolded or shaped the wrong way) can act as a seed, leading to the misfolding of nearby proteins. According to an NIH-funded study, various forms of these seeds — originating from the same protein — may lead to different patterns of misfolding that result in neurological disorders with unique sets of symptoms.
"This study has important implications for Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders," said National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Director Story Landis, Ph.D. "We know that among patients with Parkinson's disease, there are variations in the way that the disorder affects the brains. This exciting new research provides a potential explanation for why those differences occur."
An example of such a protein is alpha-synuclein, which can accumulate in brain cells, causing synucleinopathies, multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). In addition, misfolded proteins other than alpha-synuclein sometimes aggregate, or accumulate, in the same brains. For example, tau protein collects into aggregates called tangles, which are the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and are often found in PDD and DLB brains. Findings from this study raise the possibility that different structural shapes, or strains, of alpha-synuclein may contribute to the co-occurrence of synuclein and tau accumulations in PDD or DLB.
In the new study, published in Cell, Jing L. Guo, Ph.D., and her colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, wanted to see if different preparations of synthetic alpha-synuclein fibrils would behave differently in neurons that were in a petri dish as well as in mouse brains. They discovered two strains of alpha-synuclein with distinct seeding activity in cultured neurons: while one strain (strain A) resulted in accumulation of alpha-synuclein alone, the other strain (strain B) resulted in accumulations of both alpha-synuclein and tau.
The researchers also injected strain A or strain B into the brains of mice engineered to make large amounts of human tau, and then monitored the formation of alpha-synuclein and tau aggregates at various time points. Mice that received injections of synuclein strain B showed more accumulation of tau — earlier and across more brain regions — compared to mice that received strain A.
The researchers also examined the brains of five patients who had PDD, some of whom also had Alzheimer's. In this small sample, there was evidence of two different structural forms of alpha-synuclein, one in PDD brains and a distinctly different one in PDD/Alzheimer's brains, supporting the existence of disease-specific strains of the protein in human diseases.
"We are just starting to do work with human tissues," said Virginia M.Y. Lee, Ph.D., senior author of the study. "We are planning to look at the brains of patients who had Parkinson's disease, PDD, or DLB to see if there are differences in the distribution of alpha-synuclein strains."
Although the two strains used in this study were created in test tubes, the authors noted that in human brains, where the environment is much more complicated, the chances of forming additional disease-related alpha-synuclein strains may be greater.
"These different strains not only can convert normal alpha-synuclein into pathological alpha-synuclein within one cell, they also can morph into new strains as they pass from cell to cell, acquiring the ability to serve as a template to damage both normal alpha-synuclein and other proteins," said Dr. Lee. "So certain strains, but not all strains, can act as templates to influence the development of other pathologies, such as tau tangles."
She commented, "We are just beginning to understand some of these strains and there may be many others. We hope to find a way to identify strains that are relevant to human disease."
This study was supported by grants from NINDS (NS53488) and the National Institute on Aging (AG17586). Additional funding was provided by the Marian S. Ware Alzheimer Program, Philadelphia, PA; the Dr. Arthur Peck Fund, Philadelphia, PA; The Jeff and Anne Keefer Fund, Philadelphia, PA; and the Parkinson Council, Bala Cynwyd, PA.

Almost all of the news coming out of the recent Destination PlayStation retailer conference has been regarding various release dates. Kotaku, however, is reporting that a small extra rumor might have snuck out of the conference concerning the PSN store and a (much needed) redesign. Nothing's official or confirmed as of yet, but the rumor is out there and that's enough to get us to cross our fingers.
We've often lambasted Sony for the state of the PSN Store and its horrific design, so we would love to see a redesign. The rumor goes that this store overhaul will come in April, around the same time Gran Turismo 5: Prologue hits and will resemble the Singstar SingStore. Sounds good to us, the Singstore is much flashier, easier to use and more practical than the current PSN store. Of all the rumors we've heard so far this year, this is the one we'd most like to see come to fruition.

Fuji S10S Restoration Progress
It was very hot and extremely humid here today. I did not get as much done as I would have liked to. But enough with excuses, lets get on with it :)
I managed to finish cleaning up the wheels, hubs and 5 speed free wheel. As well as truing both wheels on the truing stand. The bloody free wheel would not break loose. When I removed the quick release skewer I could see the probable cause of the frozen free wheel. There was absolutely no trace of grease on the skewer or remnants that would have indicated there ever was any. So I`m guessing that the free wheel was mounted without first lightly greasing the threads. There is a good thing to remember " bicycle assembly grease". Always lightly grease the threads before screwing on the free wheel. The Sun Tour free wheel would not budge. Had I put anymore torque into it, I would have bent something. Now before you start thinking that maybe I was not strong enough to break it loose. Let me remind you that I am a Journeyman Mason / Mason Contractor recently retired. I can turn a wrench as hard as I need to. Anyway, I ended cleaning it up "in place". I Used White-Lightning Clean-Streak and my Park Tool bicycle brushes. After wards I was able to lube the free wheel by holding the wheel drive side up. Then while spinning the free wheel just adding few drops of oil in the gap where the free wheel spins on it`s axis. I did this one drop of oil at a time maybe 5 or 6 drops all together. Making sure to wipe the oil off the exterior each time. It worked fine. The free wheel is not binding at all. It`as smooth as it could be. The bugger is, I was not able to remove the pie plate. Cleaning the back side of the pie-plate is a pain with it in place. Fortunately this one is in pretty fair shape on the back side. I will probably break-out the Q-Tips and Turtle Wax Chrome Polish/Rust Remover before it`s over. As you can see I did manage to get the tires mounted. Due to a defective valve stem I had to do the front one twice. Then I thought I would mount the new Tek Tro side pull caliper brakes. Of course they don`t fit. So now I have to decide if I`m going to re-drill the mounting holes. Or rebuild and polish the original center-pull brakes. Yeah this day just kept getting better and better..lol. At this point the heat and humidity was getting unbearable for this native northerner. I was about to throw the whole mess in the road and take-up drinking again! Instead I decided to call it a day, and put the tools away. I also took a few pics of a "department store" girls bike that I just fixed-up. And I did manage straightened-up the shop a little.
So Sunday is Fathers Day (: My Wife and Son got me a new Campbell Hausfeld air compressor for the shop! It will also be a sad day remembering my own Father who passed-away Dec 2008. And my "Father in Law" who passed away May 2009. They were both good men. Two old soldiers who survived World War Two.
That`s all I got for now. I will probably do some work in the shop early tomorrow before it "heats-up." Sunday is all family stuff. I think it will be cooler by Monday. Maybe I will know what I`m going to do about the brakes by then. Till next time RIDE SAFE and "stay hydrated" and remember to always RESCUE,RESTORE & RECYCLE
6 comments:
Hey Steve, The calipers themselves are fine. The problem is the holes in the fork-brace and the seat-stay brace are to small for the mounting bolt. The older brake-mount bolts do not have a sleeve type nut that goes inside the hole. They just go all the way through and have a typical nut and washer. So they are a smaller diameter.It should not be a big deal to drill them out a little bigger. It will make for a nice flush look. Should be well worth the small effort.
As for the Free-Wheel I guess I don`t have that much patience (: Especially when the dew point is in the 70s! (in the morning hours anyway) My God it has been muggy here these past few days.Thanks Everett, Sometimes it is better to just walk away for a while. The good news is, The new roof is finished. And it looks great. And now the carpenter is working on the Cedar T-1-11
siding. If all goes well I should be staining latter on this week. And you have a great Fathers-day too (:

Carbon dioxide emission scenarios for the USA
A model of carbon dioxide emissions of the USA is presented. The model consists of population, income per capita, economic structure, final and primary energy intensity per sector, primary fuel mix, and emission coefficients. The model is simple enough to be calibrated to observations since 1850. The model is used to project emissions until 2100. Best guess carbon dioxide emissions are in the middle of the IPCC SRES scenarios, but incomes and energy intensities are on the high side, while carbon intensities are on the low side. The confidence interval suggests that the SRES scenarios do not span the range of not-implausible futures. Although the model can be calibrated to reflect structural changes in the economy, it cannot anticipate such changes. The data poorly constrain crucial scenario elements, particularly energy prices. This suggests that the range of future emissions is wider still.

"I'm so grateful to get that game over. I think the team would rather play Duke, Connecticut and Tennessee all back-to-back or in one week than Villanova. I took 600 milligrams of Motrin before the game and the headache is still coming through."

"I think there have been some teams that played better than some expected. I think Florida and Tennessee would fall into that category. Georgia has played very well, too, so I think there are a lot of teams that have surpassed expectations."
Kevin Stallings
"I think you've got to check the schedule. You don't want to be playing, in my opinion, Tennessee and LSU out of conference in the same year. I think you have to get it worked out that way, too."
Frank Beamer
"Tennessee plays four guards. So we've played against it before. We've got to go inside. We're not going to change our game. We're going to play the same way we have been playing."
Corey Brewer
"This is a very big rivalry. I think these are the two toughest teams, high school level, in Tennessee. It's always very close with two goals."
Colleen Taylor
"Tennessee is a young and very talented team. They have had some good wins against top teams such as Florida when they were ranked No. 5 in the country. Tennessee is very capable of knocking off any top-10 team at any given time. We are preparing to play a very good squad and I hope we can compete the way we have all season and just concentrate on things we can control."
Manuel Diaz
"I'm just glad someone from West Tennessee won a state title this year. Liberty's a great team. They played together and pulled it out."

How the US uses sexual humiliation as a political tool to control the masses (Naomi Wolf)
Is American strip-searching benign? The man who had brought the initial suit, Albert Florence, described having been told to "turn around. Squat and cough. Spread your cheeks." He said he felt humiliated: "It made me feel like less of a man."
In surreal reasoning, Justice Anthony Kennedy explained that this ruling is necessary because the 9/11 bomber could have been stopped for speeding. How would strip searching him have prevented the attack? Did Justice Kennedy imagine that plans to blow up the twin towers had been concealed in a body cavity? In still more bizarre non-logic, his and the other justices' decision rests on concerns about weapons and contraband in prison systems. But people under arrest -- that is, who are not yet convicted -- haven't been introduced into a prison population. ........... Believe me: you don't want the state having the power to strip your clothes off. History shows that the use of forced nudity by a state that is descending into fascism is powerfully effective in controlling and subduing populations. The political use of forced nudity by anti-democratic regimes is long established. Forcing people to undress is the first step in breaking down their sense of individuality and dignity and reinforcing their powerlessness. Enslaved women were sold naked on the blocks in the American south, and adolescent male slaves served young white ladies at table in the south, while they themselves were naked: their invisible humiliation was a trope for their emasculation. Jewish prisoners herded into concentration camps were stripped of clothing and photographed naked, as iconic images of that Holocaust reiterated. ................... http://www.opednews.com/articles/How-the-US-uses-sexual-hum-by-Naomi-Wolf-120406-579.html more:

All-American Bowl report: Hunter injured at 'intense' practice
Updated 1:23 am, Wednesday, January 2, 2013
What: High school all-star football game involving some of the best players in the country
When, where: Noon Saturday, Alamodome
Tickets: $26 and $13 at the dome box office and Ticketmaster (outlets and online)
Local connections: San Antonio Christian wide receiver Corey Robinson, the son of Spurs great David Robinson, is on the West roster. Steele's Mike Jinks is the West coach, and Steele offensive coordinator Scott Lehnhoff and Antonian coach Van Fuschak are West assistants.
Hunter Jr. injured: West wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. was carted off the practice field Tuesday after suffering a leg injury. ESPN reported that he has a broken femur.
Hunter Jr. is the son of Detroit Tigers center fielder Torii Hunter and is a Notre Dame commit from Prosper High School.
Record-setting QB: Robinson will be catching passes from an accomplished quarterback. Max Browne of Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline High was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year after passing for 4,526 yards and 49 touchdowns with only five interceptions while leading his team to a state title.
The 6-foot-5, 215-pounder will enroll at USC for the spring semester. Rivals.com dubbed him a five-star recruit and ranked him as the No. 1 QB in the country.
Each day leading to Saturday's game, San Antonio Christian wide receiver Corey Robinson will provide a little insight into his All-American Bowl experience:
I didn't really see what happened with Torii Hunter Jr., but it affected the team a lot. My dad checked in on him, and I hope he's going to be OK. We've become good friends since we're both wide receivers committed to Notre Dame, both have similar experiences and have similar backgrounds with famous fathers. I'm wishing him the best right now.
The first days of practices have been pretty intense. You have no idea how many plays we're learning — my mind is blown right now. On Monday, we went to the Spurs game, went back, I got some Advil and was knocked out. I didn't make it to midnight for the New Year's because sleep becomes a major priority at two-a-days.
In the last game I played in at San Antonio Christian, there was one other guy committed to a school on the other team. You're going from one Division I guy to the whole team, so of course it's going to be a tremendous jump.
If you get into that mindset that you're from a small private school or that you've never done this before, you're setting yourself up for failure. It's like everything else. You have to compete no matter what your rank is or how many stars you have.
— Blake Hurtik, Lorne Chan

New Restaurant Reviews: Soup Dumplings at Full House; Vegan at Kajitsu
Kajitsu's glass noodles
On this sunny May Day, our critics single out two new restaurants to usher in the season. In Midtown, Tejal Rao bows her head in favor of the vegan Japanese Buddhist temple cuisine at Kajitsu, while Robert Sietsema slurps up soup dumplings at Full House on the Bowery. Read on to see how the professionals rated their meals.
In Robert Sietsema's review of Full House, he writes that the Full House soup dumpling is "no ordinary lump of meat and noodle dough." This signature dish from Shanghai has developed a cult following in New York, and Sietsema says that newcomer Full House offers the best ones around, along with a "cosmopolitan mix of Sichuan, Hong Kong, Mandarin, Thai, Taiwanese, and even some American cooking, too."
Sietsema writes:
"Enfolded in a translucent skin with a thinness measured in micrometers, Full House's soup dumplings are available with crab or without ($6.75 and $4.75). The former are highly recommended, featuring a nice wad of crab meat sticking out of the top, the liquid within smooth and tan. "
"Another great starter is a shared soup: More commonly called West Lake beef soup, name-checking a resort two hours southwest of Shanghai, the minced beef with coriander soup ($6.95) is paradoxically light and pungent, tasting of leafy green foliage and the cool afternoons of an early summer by the lake."
Some less traditional dishes are also worth ordering:
"The pork-and-crab meatballs ($12.95) better known as lion heads, which arrive in a thick yellow broth guaranteeing they'll remain moist, seem positively German--the country established breweries in China during the 19th century. The international "Snacks" section of the menu goes much farther afield, presenting such Western icons as french fries and buffalo chicken wings. It makes you wonder: Are these two really the most appealing American dishes? Do they belong here? Shanghai thinks so! And it must be said that those wings have indeed been improved with a touch of soy sauce. Call it fair trade."
Tejal Rao reviews Kajitsu and calls their bare and beautiful dining room "one of the finest places in the city from which to witness the planet's low-speed twirl toward the sun." After exiting the East Village, the restaurant is settling into its new digs with ease and grace -- and the kitchen follows suit.
Rao writes:
"The kitchen knows how to coax a multitude of textures and flavors from the vegetable world, then compose a carefully structured meal of them. In short, save your vegan-phobic rant for someplace else--you won't miss animal products at Kajitsu, nor will you go hungry (in fact, it's pretty impressive how heavy things can get without meat or dairy in the picture). In a dinner filled with small, beautiful vegetables--much of them served on small, beautiful pieces of pottery--there will also be piles of thin, cold soba noodles, warm rice, soups, and bubbling stews of tofu, vegetables, and a range of jellies from jiggly vinegar to chewy seaweed."
"What makes the restaurant so special is the way Ueshima draws our attention to tiny seasons within the seasons. Right now it's all about cherry blossoms, young bamboo shoots, and fresh sansho, the peppery, lemongrass-y leaves of the Japanese prickly ash. The bamboo shoot is long and spiny and scored like a frat boy's bedpost. It's tender and delicious, too, lightly battered and fried, cut in slices over cubes of cold rice with miso and fresh wasabi, or crisped in a hot pot."
The sparse interior helps to set a serene tone for the meal:
"But inside Kajitsu, the room is quiet and full of sunlight, decorated with a single framed piece of paper and a clay pot the size of a strongman's fist. That's all. Tables are spaced far enough apart that if an ex were seated at the next one, it might not even be that awkward (but odds of this happening are low, since Kajitsu hosts even more business meetings and stylishly dressed senior-citizen couples since its move uptown)."
At NY Mag, Adam Platt thinks the kind of "rabid fan worship" that Carbone has garnered may be a bit unnecessary. The restaurant -- "Il Mulino for hipsters" -- receives one star.
Time Out's pinch-critic Jordana Rothman is on the fence about Pearl & Ash, but wishes the best for the Bowery spot. She writes, " While Pearl & Ash isn't yet the boundary-pushing restaurant it wants to be, those few strokes of creativity certainly make it the kind of restaurant you root for." Earlier, our Tejal Rao wrote a review of Pearl & Ash and highlighted the joint's "elegant, colorful small plates that often whisper of faraway places."
Steve Cuozzo of the NY Post says that Macy's-located Stella 34 is a, "modern-mainstream Italian lineup that breaks no new ground." His advice? Order one of the pizzas and ignore the clamouring crowds.
The General offers a "thoughtful, precise and surprisingly well-executed menu that's better than it needs to be for its bottle-service, wanna-be crowd," writes Michael Kaminer at the Daily News. Though the portions are paltry, the critic appreciates the "generous spirit" in the kitchen's execution.

Are we all aware that GTA IV's map is the same size as Red Dead Redemption's map? And that San Andreas' map size is larger than both of those maps combined.
Scarabola's forum posts
Yeah, I forgot wether Debaser and Fight for Your Right were 80s or not. P.S. Hooligan, you have the best avatar.
I guess you have about 2000 people to ask. And a quick google search led me here to see if anyone else had the same crazy idea.
The first thing about Guitar Hero songs is that they need to be fun to play. Second comes songs that people would be familiar with (or at least bands people are familiar with), and since this is a 90s setlist, there has to be songs that define the 90s decade.
There's mine. As you can see I still need one more song for the 7th tier. Some bands I wanted included Tool, Faith No More, Nine Inch Nails, Monster Magnet, Sonic Youth, Bush, Foo Fighters, and many alternative artists, however I could not find any suitable songs that wouldn't interfere with the setliest I already made.
Now for your setlist criticism (cause you asked for it).
Been Caught Stealing is a very difficult sounding song, which is why I moved it to the 7th tier.
I chose Basket Case by Green Day because it was more speedy and frantic, and has a similarity to GH2's Monkey Wrench (sped up song consisting of chord after chord after chord). I chose Cherub Rock simply because Bullet sounds too boring, and Beautiful Disaster as opposed to All Mixed Up due to a more fun sounding track. Santeria by Sublime is more popular than Date Rape (and the word Rape would probably not be allowed in the game). I'm thinking of getting a different Nirvana song (GH2 stole the best Nirvana guitar song), but Come As You Are is simply the same riff over and over again, with a guitar solo copying the vocal meolody. Vasoline by Stone Temple Pilots is a much more guitar heavy song, as is Even Flow by Pearl Jam, Jerry Was a Racecar Driver by Primus, and Paranoid Android by Radiohead. I really don't get why people keep saying Epic by Faith No More is a 90s song, it's from 1988. Machinehead by Bush doesn't sound fun aside from that main riff. Rusty Cage consists of that (really cool) riff that plays throughout the song, and then goes into the break which leads into the breakdown, whereas Bleed Together is much more fun-sounding for lack of a better term. Amazingly we both have Prisoner of Society on our lists, and in the same tier as well. Jump by Van Halen..... what? I veered from using a Metallica song for a few reasons, including the fact that there had never been a Metallica song in any game until GH3, despite being eligible to be in all 3 of the first GH games (Don't forget Rocks the 80s). I'm not familiar with the first two songs in the 7th tier you've chosen, however I opted for Bombtrack by RATM since it's short and simple unlike Wake Up which is very layered and unconventional. And Guns N Roses shouldn't be considered for a 90s rock game.
As you can see my list may not be perfect, especially since the songs of the 8th tier are not alternatvie songs, and with 3 of them being from 1990. I'm opting for a different song by Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pantera, but for now those will have to do.
And please don't delete/lock this thread.

Unless you want your children doomed to a lifetime of psychopathology and a mountain of future therapy bills, avoid these holiday gifts at all costs:
1. Elf on the Shelf.
2. The Game of Life. Ah yes, there's nothing better than a board game reminding you that you could easily be condemned to a lifetime of underpaid salaries, house fires, bankruptcy and childlessness.
3. Fisher Price Medical Kit. Hypochondriacs rejoice! Now every cough, sniffle, or boo-boo can be treated as a major medical emergency.
4. A Santa outfit. Dressing your child up in a Santa outfit for holiday photos is why your child will grow into an adolescent who hates you.
5. A Barbie doll or superhero action figure. Can you say body image issues?
6. The Magic 8-Ball.
7. Curious George. He's an impulsive monkey with a pathological lack of attachment anxiety. Do you really want your child emulating this behavior? Hopefully your insurance plan covers stimulant medication.
8. The Espressione Café Retro. Why is an espresso machine sold through the Toys R Us website? If your child is already hooked on caffeine, a substance abuse problem is definitely in the future.
9. Tickle Me Elmo. Tickling a giggling furry creature is a sure-fire way to kick-start sexual fetishism.
10. Etch-a-sketch. Your child will spend hours working on a deeply meaningful artistic creation, only to have it wiped away at the slightest jostling. A psychologically devastating reminder of the ubiquity of loss and the ephemeral nature of existence. Also, no building sand castles on the beach.

One of the many unwritten rules in British football is that when talking about the recently retired, the same respect must be accorded as to the recently dead. Particularly when their passing is considered premature.
These past few days, Gary Neville has been a classic recipient of this sugar-coating since announcing his retirement at the age of 35. In the rush to praise the right-back, he was instantly granted Manchester United "legend" status and even referred to as an "icon".
Seemingly everyone was asked for their tribute and seemingly everyone is without one bad word to say about the elder Neville brother. True, the chief inspector of Manchester police wasn't asked for his opinion but, as we shall analyse later, there was probably good reason for that.
First, we must look at the quality that, in the overwhelming majority of the eulogies, defined Neville as a role model. "A great one-club man," they hailed him, comparing him to the mercenaries who litter our Premier League pitches nowadays. In this regard, it was perfect timing on Neville's behalf. A few days earlier, Fernando Torres had walked out on Liverpool, a team to whom he had pledged his undying love, and Andy Carroll had left Newcastle, a team to whom he continues to pledge his undying love. In the depressing gloom of this wanton self-interest, the example of Neville's "one-club" loyalty shone like a beacon.
Yet hang on. I would venture it's rather straightforward to be "a one-club man" when that club happens to be perhaps the biggest in the world. Maybe I'm selling Neville's selflessness short, but I doubt very much he would have stayed at "one club" if that "one club" happened to be Bury, the place of his birth. Or Newcastle. Or even in their present guise, Liverpool. The truth is, Neville would have been mad to have quit Old Trafford, if any big side had made him a substantial offer. Which to my information they didn't.
Not that all those "one of a dying breed" commendations were incorrect. The sentiment was slightly displaced, that's all. The likes of Neville emerging from the youth team at an elite outfit such as United will probably never happen again because elite outfits, such as United, no longer pin their faith in youth. Well, Arsène Wenger does. And he gets pilloried for it. The rest are too petrified of the present to think about the future, so buy up proven performers. A young Gary Neville now would be farmed out on loan to a Championship club, then sold to an inferior Premier League club and have to make his way back up the mountain from there.
In fairness, there can be little, if any, doubt he would succeed. Because if there is one factor truly impressive about Neville, it is how he remained in or around the first team for the best part of two decades. Nobody should ever underrate his consistency or desire. But then, as the last week has confirmed, nobody ever will. "If you want to see what it takes, see Red Nev," the wannabes will be told. Just ignore the bits when he baited the opposing crowds to the extent where the police felt obliged to intervene.
Naturally, in all those gushing sporting obituaries, these misdemeanours have been included under the heading entitled "passion". In some quarters they have actually been highlighted to show how much he cared. How ludicrous, if not downright irresponsible. At the very least, Neville's actions risked inciting violence and, at the very worst, incited violence. The Football Association were always painfully aware of this and will be so relieved he has hung up his boots and tucked away his middle finger. Having already warned him about his future conduct three times, goodness knows what they would have done next. Issued a final, final, final, FINAL warning perhaps?
The FA first had reason to flex their indistinguishable muscle five years ago when, after Rio Ferdinand's last-minute winner, Neville ran half the length of the pitch towards the Liverpool fans, screaming and kissing his badge. He was not at all contrite and refused to accept the notion that even the smallest degree of the trouble after that match could have been down to his taunts. "Do they want us to be robots?" he said.
He used a similar justification last season when the FA disciplinary committee felt forced to reprise their Mr Puniverse impression on two separate occasions. The bizarre, utterly damnable fact was that the then club captain was not even playing either time. In the September game, he sprinted from the halfway line towards the Manchester City fans to gloat at yet another last-ditch match-winner. He explained his actions thus: "In football we have become too sensitive. Fans give you loads of stick. You give them a bit back. That is football."
Again there were running battles outside; again they had absolutely nothing to do with the man who was starting to resemble Robbie Savage with a sensible haircut. But four months later, Neville could hardly wash his hands. This time he was involved in a spat with former team-mate Carlos Tevez, to whom he was pictured showing his middle finger. There followed a night of disorder which featured 18 arrests. Greater Manchester Police had seen enough. "We will be making the point very strongly that the players are professionals and need to recognise the impact they can have on the crowd," said a spokesman.
Neville never did realise that, and that's why he should not be remembered as "a model professional". What he happened to be was a tremendously committed individual who occasionally stepped way over the line. There were other incidents, too, which stemmed from his absurd "shop steward" image. Like the time he tried to lead the England team out on strike in the hours before a vital qualifier with Turkey. Why? Because Ferdinand had been banned for missing a drugs test. His mate had broken the rules, been punished, and Red Nev couldn't handle it. Boo-hoo, everybody out...
Such behaviour hardly befits an "icon", a "legend" or even someone who is and was perceived as being so passionate about playing for club and country. Of course, there can be no argument about Neville's playing credentials. You don't appear 400 times for United and 85 times for England without being a great footballer. But in the stampede to make the most profound statement about the dearly departed, the description of "great footballer" is never enough. They have to be more than that, something they probably weren't. Neville was not faultless. Anything but.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Jaffna Catholics to raise funds to help Vanni IDPs[TamilNet, Wednesday, 06 August 2008, 05:17 GMT]The Commission for Justice and Peace (CJP) in Jaffna peninsula has extended an appeal to all Catholics in the peninsula to generously contribute to a relief fund when special mass and Holy Communion will be held Sunday in the Catholic churches in the peninsula towards helping the 50,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Vanni, according to the Catholic Guardian religious magazine. Rev. Vasanthaseelan, the director of Caritias of the Social Economic Development Centre (SEDEC) for Vanni, in an interview to Catholic Guardian, said that in 15 days in July 50,000 people belonging to 9,175 families have been displaced from places including Muzhangkaavil, Mallaavi and Naachchikudaa . The IDPs have sought refuge in the areas of Akkaraayan, Skanthapuram, Vannearikkulam and Koaddaikaddiyakulam in Kilinochchi district, he said. The IDPs are in desperate need of temporary shelters, essential food, and medicine, and the funds raised will help to ease their suffering, he added. The critical situation in Vanni was discussed last Monday in a meeting organized by Jaffna Bishop Rt. Rev. Thomas Saundranayagam where the attendees decided to hold special mass on Sunday in all Catholic churches in the peninsula to pray for the IDPs and organize a relief fund. |

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Every day is a god, each day is a god, and holiness holds forth in time. I worship each god, I praise each day splintered down, splintered down and wrapped in time like a husk, a husk of many colors spreading, at dawn fast over the mountains split.
I wake in a god. I wake in arms holding my quilt, holding me as best they can inside my quilt.
Someone is kissing me -- already. I wake, I cry
"Oh," I rise from the pillow. Why should I open my eyes?
I open my eyes. The god lifts from the water. His head fills the bay. He is Puget Sound, the Pacific; his breast rises from pastures; his fingers are firs; islands slide wet down his shoulders. Islands slip blue from his shoulders and glide over the water, the empty, lighted water like a stage.
Today's god rises, his long eyes flecked in clouds. He flings his arms, spreading colors; he arches, cupping sky in his belly; he vaults, vaulting and spread, holding all and spread on me like skin.
Under the quilt in my knees' crook is a cat. She wakes; she curls to bite her metal sutures. The day is real; already, I can feel it click, hear it clicking under my knees.
The day is real; the sky clicks securely in place over the mountains, locks round the islands, snaps slap on the bay. Air fits flush on farm roofs; it rises inside the doors of barns and rubs at yellow barn windows. Air clicks up my hand cloven into fingers and wells in my ears' holes, whole and entire. I call it simplicity, the way matter is smooth and alone.
I toss the cat. I stand and smooth the quilt. "Oh," I cry, "Oh!"
I live on northern Puget Sound, in Washington State, alone. I have agold cat, who sleeps on my legs, named Small. In the morning I joke to her blank face, Do you remember last night? Do you remember? I throw her out before breakfast, so I can eat.
There is a spider, too, in the bathroom, with whom I keep a sort of company. Her little outfit always reminds me of a certain moth I helped to kill. The spider herself is of uncertain lineage, bulbous at the abdomen and drab. Her six-inch mess of a web works, works somehow, works miraculously, to keep her alive and me amazed. The web itself is in a comer behind the toilet, connecting tile wall to tile wall and floor, in a place where there is, I would have thought, scant traffic. Yet under the web are sixteen or so corpses she has tossed to the floor.
The corpses appear to be mostly sow bugs, those little armadillo creatures who live to travel flat out in houses, and die round. There is also a new shred of earwig, three old spider skins crinkled and clenched, and two moth bodies, wingless and huge and empty, moth bodies I drop to my knees to see.
Today the earwig shines darkly and gleams, what there is of him: a dorsal curve of thorax and abdomen, and a smooth pair of cerci by which I knew his name. Next week, if the other bodies are any indication, he will be shrunken and gray, webbed to the floor with dust. The sow bugs beside him are hollow and empty of color, fragile, a breath away from brittle fluff. The spider skins lie on their sides, translucent and ragged, their legs drying in knots. And the moths, the empty moths, stagger against each other, headless, in a confusion of arcing strips of chitin like peeling varnish, like a jumble of buttresses for cathedral domes, like nothing resembling moths, so that I should hesitate to call them moths, except that I have had some experience with the figure Moth reduced to a nub.
Two summers ago I was camping alone in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. I had hauled myself and gear up there to read, among other things, James Ramsey Ullman's The Day on Fire, a novel about Rimbaud that had made me want to be a writer when I was sixteen; I was hoping it would do it again. So I read, lost, every day sitting under a tree by my tent, while warblers swung in the leaves overhead and bristle worms trailed their inches over the twiggy dirt at my feet; and I read every night by candlelight, while barred owls called in the forest and pale moths massed round my head in the clearing, where my light made a ring.
Moths kept flying into the candle. They would hiss and recoil, lost upside down in the shadows among my cooking pans. Or they would singe their wings and fall, and their hot wings, as if melted, would stick to the first thing they touched -- a pan, a lid, a spoon -- so that the snagged moths could flutter only in tiny arcs, unable to struggle free. These I could release by a quick flip with a stick; in the morning I would find my cooking stuff gilded with torn flecks Of moth wings, triangles of shiny dust here and there on the aluminum. So I read, and boiled water, and replenished candles, and read on.
One night a moth flew into the candle, was caught, burnt dry, and held. I must have been staring at the candle, or maybe I looked up when a shadow crossed my page; at any rate, I saw it all. A golden female moth, a biggish one with a two-inch wingspan, flapped into the fire, dropped her abdomen into the wet wax, stuck, flamed, frazzled and fried in a second. Her moving wings ignited like tissue paper, enlarging the circle of light in the clearing and creating out of the darkness the sudden blue sleeves of my sweater, the green leaves of jewelweed by my side, the ragged red trunk of a pine...

Miss Dillard effort was at times illuminating and other times boring. Poetic and times and incoherent at other times. I like to read PNW writers but found this book more work than inspiration.

Cho, Ku Gon ;   et al. | July 28, 2005 |
A user authentication method of authenticating a user on an on-line basis using a user's e-mail address and hardware information is provided. The user authentication method includes the steps of: transmitting a user's authentication client platform hardware information and e-mail address to an authentication server module through an authentication client module installed in the authentication client platform; and the authentication client module determining user authentication according to whether or not the e-mail address and hardware information received from the authentication server module is identical to user's e-mail address and hardware information stored in an authentication database. A user's authentication request and authentication is confirmed through an e-mail in the case that authentication fails in the primary authentication process. The user authentication method performs authentication by using a user's hardware information and e-mail address, their uniqueness of which is verified. Accordingly, since a user's password is not required, inconveniences of reissuing the user's password due to losing the same can be reduced.

something I just read
something I just read
Well, I discovered the atheism, accidentley, 3 years ago thruogh this website: http://www.hofesh.org.il/english/index.html
Since the day I entered this website I visit it daily. Today I saw an article which I translated (I hope not so bad....) to English. It was written by S. in age of 16: If there is a god, he is a bored being. God decide, like that, in middle of his chaos, to create a world for him. He creates a place which will be interesting for him to watch and then create the mortal people, who are actually his game tools. Again, so he won't be bored. They tell you that god is examining your acts, watching you in every moment, is found in every place. I'm trying to think about the times I examine, so close, which ant is caring a crumb of bred. Yes. This is happening only when I'm bored If there is a god, he is a control freak. . God creates for him in the first place, so it's written in the Torah, angels for him to serve. Then he creates the human beings that in fact are also his slaves, only in simpler way. You came here, to the world, only for worship god and fill his wills. In those wills I include the prayer which we need to say 3 times a day. Yes. One time isn't enough for him. He needs to hear our compliments, to fell he is perfect. Wants to hear our pleads, to remind him that in fact our fate is in his hands, and in the end of each prayer to hear the thank in our mouths, every king has to fell adored. King is related with control to me. Obsession relates to me with disease, 3 times a day is an obsession. If there is god, he is grasping being. God demand a house to his divine spirit. He doesn't satisfy only in the place he gave to himself in the first, in the sky. He wants also a place of honor, tabernacle, here, on earth. The temple of god is a beautiful building, made of the finest materials, designed by the greatest artists. As befits a king's residence. When it comes to the place of living of god there is no such thing as abstemious, everything has to be spectacular, extroverted and worth a fortune. As with all a king's palace, God needs servants strengthen the structure also. Levies that enjoy him with their play. Cohen's to take charge of the sacrifices. He could, for example, to clean the remnants of the victim after he ate it. No. This is the work of servants. I will add and say that god is very fanatic for his own respect. He expects that no house more beautiful than his will rise. And yes, he asks us to make our houses uglier by leave non-plastered square in the doorway, only because only his house is perfect. A visit in his house tells everything. If there is thing like god, he is nosy being. God is intervenes and forces himself above the humanity, in that he decides what he allowed to do and what he's not. Eating which is a very simple act is forbidden to us in different situations. It is only left the he will determine the hours we will eat our dinners. Oh, he already did that in Sabbath dinners. Clothes which cover the genitals of the person, even to them he'll take care of. He will not allowed man wearing clothes of a woman and woman will not wear clothes of a man. Just because he doesn't thinks it looks good. He orders the men to wear a head covering. Just because he feels like always to be remembered, by placing a piece of cloth on the head. Now, things between him and her. God enters the privacy of the couple and determine them when they can have sex and when not. Moreover, he commands the existence of intercourse every time the woman was no longer Nida. When I'll ask a couple about their sex life I will be seen as nosy and rude. So why when God does it, it's okay? If there is such a God, then the being isn't so good as they say about him. And if there is such a God, I would dare and say that he is even a bad being. Naturaly, most of the things written about is from the Judaism, but I hope everyone, including those who didn't come from Jewish environment, can relate to the things which is written. your thoughts and comments. |
RE: something I just read
First off, I'm not sure if you know the fact that the three major religions in the world (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity) are all based off the same doctrine (the Old Testament). A lot of what was mentioned in the article you translated (good job, by the way ) are things I read in the Old Testament so, yes, anyone who has read the Old Testament can relate. It is a wonder that people still believe in these writings. Although I have seen it mentioned many times from different sources that humankind naturally propagated towards religion, it troubles me that, after all we have learned, that people STILL follow it's backwards teachings. Yes, theists will say "that was back then, we don't do those things today"...the problem is with the INTERPRETATION of what is said in the bible, torah, qu'ran, etc. I think religious people feel 'empowered' by their belief, like they 'know something' we don't (trust me, I feel like I know a heck of a LOT more than most religious people, hence my atheism). Maybe that's why they don't want to drop it. Or maybe it is fear...or maybe it is Pascal's Wager..who knows. I would love to hear a theist's reasoning behind it. Although, since we have a few theists on this forum, here's a question I pose to them... Since most of you ask 'what would it take to convert an atheist back to religion (be it Islam, Christianity, or Judaism)' I ask the follow question: "What would it take for you to abandon your belief and become either agnostic or atheist (out of fairness, I have given you both choices)". I await your honest, open response. |
RE: something I just read
I think I'm aware that the 3 monotheist religions (not " the 3 major" because as far as I know-more people believe in Budhism or Hinduism than in Judaism...) are based on the old testament-in Israel the religious doesn't stop mentioning this fact to "proove" Judaism is better than Islam, Christianity or any other religion......the reason I wrote that I'm not sure about whom is going to relate the article, becuase there are things from the Halacha, which I'm 99% sure nobody here ever read (me neither, by the way, but I know things since the atheists here talk a LOT about it....)
to tell you the truth-I'm not surprise that people still believe in those writings. this is far more conviniante way to live than ours. If you have a problem-go to the rabbie. if you have a question-go to the rabbie. if you have doubts-go to the rabbie. who doesn't want someone from out side tells you how to dill with your every-day problems? it's easy, very easy. far more than that- you have in the bible instructions to every situation in life- birth, death, merrige, divorce, eat, sleep, learn, war, peace......you have instructions how to live your life before you even born!!!! to us, it is more difficult. we need to trust our heart and our mind when we're dilling with our problems. we need to THINK before we do something. thinking is an act not everybody can do.... very good question, I must say. |

Earlier this fall Google promised that hardware acceleration advances were going to make Chrome 7 as much as 60 times faster than its predecessor, and now the company is working on a new feature that could boost the browser's speed even more.
Specifically, a new page-preloading capability now in the works will allow Chrome to load Web pages before they're actually needed, according to a brief description on the Chromium issues tracker. The feature will work by preloading pages in "background tabs"; the result, according to the site's description, will be "wicked fast page loads."
The feature is expected to arrive in Chrome in February, the description says.
Which Pages, For How Long?
As with many browsers, Google's Chrome lets Web surfers have multiple pages open at once in different tabs. By loading select pages into background tabs not visible to the user, the browser will avoid having to load those pages from scratch when they're needed by the user. That, in turn, promises to make them accessible much more quickly.
Open questions regarding the new capability include how to accomplish it without taking up too much memory on the user's computer, which could potentially counteract at least some of the speed benefits. Also not yet clear is how Chrome would choose which pages to preload among all the many a user might want to visit, and how long it would keep them preloaded there.
Then, too, there's the question of how such a capability might affect analytics tools and their page-view statistics, as pointed out by Stephen Shankland in a recent CNET report. The advent of Safari's 3D interface for showing a thumbnail array of recently used Web pages created similar problems for analytics, as Shankland notes, so page preloading on Chrome could face similar difficulties.
All About Speed
Nevertheless, as Chrome vies with the likes of Firefox and Internet Explorer for market position, faster Web speed will likely be one of the key features to set the winning browser apart. Chrome also recently performed well on the World Wide Web Consortium's very early tests of HTML5 conformance, which could prove to be another distinguishing feature.
Meanwhile, Chrome's market share is on the rise. During the month of October, Chrome rose from eight per cent to 8.5 per cent of the worldwide browser market, according to data from research firm Net Applications. Market leader Internet Explorer dropped from 59.7 per cent to 59.2 per cent, while Firefox went from 23 per cent to 22.8 per cent. Safari held about 5.4 per cent, and Opera claimed 2.3 per cent.

New to the World of BOXERS
Hello everyone, I'm new to the World of Boxers,in fact I don't pick up my puppy until 2 Feb!!! I've been reading this forum for a few months, and believe I chose the BEST ONE I'm not good at this computer stuff, I don't even know what am AVATAR is?!? I just want to raise the Best Boxer Baby I can. I have done enough reading to know I will be feeding RAW (PREY). I am searching for a local Co-Op, but I won't let that hinder me. I am a little nervous, but from what I have read here, I know YOU WILL GUIDE ME, if needed. I read an earlier post saying what I will need and got it ALL.
I'm ready to give my baby his first RAW meal, so I can get the jitters out. My understanding is skinless chicken the first couple of weeks and "watch the poop"!! I'm thinking either a leg quarter for the first meal being he has a 2 hour drive, or should I go with a neck..I don't want to give too much bone, but I know he will be HUNGRY!! glad to be a member of the "PACK" |

How many gigabyte in 1 kibibit?
The answer is 1.28E-7.
We assume you are converting between gigabyte and kibibit.
You can view more details on each measurement unit:
gigabyte or
The main non-SI unit for computer data storage is the byte.
1 byte is equal to 1.0E-9 gigabyte, or 0.0078125 kibibit.
Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results.
Use this page to learn how to convert between gigabytes and kibibits.
Type in your own numbers in the form to convert the units!
You can do the reverse unit conversion from kibibit to gigabyte, or enter any two units below:
I'm feeling lucky, show me some random units.
The SI prefix "giga" represents a factor of 109, or in exponential notation, 1E9.
So 1 gigabyte = 109 bytes.
The definition of a byte is as follows:
A byte is the basic unit of measurement of information storage in computer science. In many computer architectures it is a unit of memory addressing, consisting of 8 bits.
Since computer memory comes in base two rather than 10, a large portion of the software and computer industry use binary estimates of the SI-prefixed quantities, while producers of computer storage devices prefer the SI values. This is why a computer hard drive advertised with a "100 GB" decimal storage capacity actually contains no more than 93 GB of 8-bit (power of 2) addressable storage.
A kibibit (a contraction of kilo binary digit) is a unit of information or computer storage, abbreviated Kibit, or sometimes Kib. (Note that the abbreviation is capitalized, while kbit is not.) It is equal to 128 bytes.
ConvertUnits.com provides an online conversion calculator for all types of measurement units. You can find metric conversion tables for SI units, as well as English units, currency, and other data. Type in unit symbols, abbreviations, or full names for units of length, area, mass, pressure, and other types. Examples include mm, inch, 100 kg, US fluid ounce, 6'3", 10 stone 4, cubic cm, metres squared, grams, moles, feet per second, and many more!

Im always very paranoid when it come to my pills. I take ortho tri cyclenlo, and just started a new pack yest. Well today's pill got stuck when I was trying to push it out, and when it came out it "shot" out. I started panicking cuz I thought I lost it then I found it and took it. But of course now im scared that I really didn't take it. (this is why im seeing a therapist). If for some reason I didnt take it, will I be ok? Im not planning on having sex for awhile, and im gonna try and keep from having it at all this cycle.
Has anyone ever missed a pill and not realized it? Im pretty sure I took it though, cuz I looked in the mirror and saw it on my tongue. I feel so psychotic!

One thing to do is to leave that pill on the counter and continue using what is in the pack. Then use the questionable pill the last day of the triphasic cycle. But to be really sure, it wouldn't harm to use a condom as well, until next menses.

Just visited this curious exhibition, Journeys - Stories of the World, at the Orleans House Gallery by the river at Twickenham. Inspired by the personal effects of explorer Sir Richard Burton (not the one who married Elizabeth Taylor several times), local young people and artists from around the world have created diverse responses.
The tent (at the top) with no entrance, is inspired by Burton's mausoleum. The fabric was silkscreened by a group of youngsters.
At the Stables Gallery next door is an exhibition by Richmond Printmakers. Also delightful, and very informative on the different types of printmaking.
