Vince McMahon: Welcome, everyone, to Saturday Night's Main Event! What about this main event, Jess?
Michael Cole: Well, actually, Mr. McMahon I'm not Jesse Ventura, sir. It's Michael Cole, the voice of the WWE, and we're about to see one of the greatest match-ups in modern history.
Vince McMahon: - It should be UN-BE-LIEVABLE! Ah ha ha HA! The main event comes to you after this short break!
Michael Cole: We're back, and look who we have coming down to the ring! It's the most must-see champion in WWE history.. The Miz!
Vince McMahon: The Miz has his work cut out for him tonight. We're going to take you back to the locker room, where our broadcast colleague Mean Gene Okerlund is speaking with the one, the only.... HULLLLLLLLK HOGANNNNN!
Mean Gene Okerlund: Thank you, Vince. Hulkster, tonight you tangle with The Awesome One, The Miz. What about it?
Hulk Hogan: Well ya know, Mean Gene.... everyone thinks The Miz has what it takes to climb to the top of the mountain, brother. But that all is a bunch of ga-ga, brother. Last night, I scaled Mount Everest using the World Heavyweight Title to dig in to the rocks, brother, and all the Hulkamaniacs at my back, jack! Miz, you may have tried to make that climb, but there's no way you're going to ever reach that snow-covered peak, brother. And whatcha gonna do when the largest arms in the world run wild on youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?
Mean Gene Okerlund: Hulk Hogan, a true mountain of a man. Vince, Michael - back to you!
Vince McMahon: Here comes HULLLLLLLLK HOGANNNNNNNN to a deafening ovation. Twenty-two thousand Hulkamaniacs have erupted here!
Michael Cole: Hulkamania is definitely strong, Mr. McMahon - but it's nothing compared to the awesome power of The Miz.
Vince McMahon: We will find out which of these men is more awesome, when we return to Saturday Night's Main Event!
Vince McMahon: Welcome back to Saturday Night's Main Event. The Immortal Hulk Hogan is locking up with his opponent...
Michael Cole: "His opponent?" It's The Miz, one of the highest-rated WWE superstars of all time...
Vince McMahon: The Hulkster easily overpowering Miz in the test of strength. Ah ha ha HA! Sends him to the ropes, biiiiiiiiig back drop, and Hogan goes for the pin. One - two - three! Oh, no, only a two count.
Michael Cole: Miz is letting The Hulkster tire himself out before he brings out the big guns.
Vince McMahon: Speaking of big guns, Hogan is using HIS 24 inch pythons to press The Miz over his head..... and deposit him on the concrete floor below!
Michael Cole: Which superstar is going to emerge victorious here?
Vince McMahon: Back with more Saturday Night's Main Event, and the tide has turned here. The Miz gaining a temporary advantage with an armbar to the one and only HULLLLLLLK HOGANNNNNN!
Michael Cole: With all due respect, I beg to differ that this only a "temporary advantage". The Miz was a dominant WWE Champion, and went on to star in such classic films as The Marine 3. Surely he can dominant your favorite, The Hulkster.
Vince McMahon: I don't play favorites, and.... LOOK AT THAT! HULK HOGAN with a big chop! UN-BE-LIEVEABLE!!! Let's see if Miz can even up the odds, when we return with more Saturday Nigh's Main Event!
Vince McMahon: Back from more Saturday Night's Main Event, and right now, Hulk Hogan dominating The....
Michael Cole: Can I have your attention please? I have just received an email from the Anonymous Raw General Manager. And I quote: "......" NOW! Get him, Miz!!!
Vince McMahon: Miz, attacking The Hulkster from behind! What a debacle! Officials are trying to restore order here!
Michael Cole: Will we see The Miz accomplish what no one thought possible?
Vince McMahon: Back with more Saturday Night's Main Event - and The Miz continues to dominate WWE Hall of Famer HULLLLLLLLK HOGANNNNNNNN!
Michael Cole: This is vintage Miz right here!
Vince McMahon: Miz, setting Hogan up for.... what's this?
Michael Cole: Skull-crushing finale! It's all over!
Vince McMahon: Miz goes for the cover! One-two- HULK HOGAN KICKS OUT WITH AUTHORITY!
Michael Cole: What will happen when Hulk Hogan recovers?
Michael Cole: It...
Vince McMahon: We'll be back with more Saturday Night's Main Event after this!
Vince McMahon: Back with more Saturday Night's Main Event, and the one and only HULLLLLLK HOGANNNNNN is in control! He's shaking his head, huffing and puffing, and drawing strength from twenty-five thousand Hulkamaniacs!
Michael Cole: I thought you said twenty-two thousand?
Vince McMahon: Miz trying to fire back at The Hulkster.... Hogan is blocking all of them! Sends Miz to the ropes for a big boot..... comes off the ropes with a legdrop!
Michael Cole: Do we have time for another ad break?
Vince McMahon: One-two-three! It's alllll over! HULLLLLLLLLLLLK HOGANNNNNNN is victorious!
Michael Cole: Hulk Hogan got lucky this time! The Miz will be back and better than ever, and certainly won't try to play a lame babyface gimmick where no one cheers for him.
Vince McMahon: Thank you for watching this match in The Great 1,024 Wrestler Tournament. We'll be back after this!

A while back I sold sold my Tamron 28-75, having acquired a non-BIM version of the 17-50mm. This was a hard sale for me personally, as the 28-75 was one of the best lenses in my collection but it simply wasn't getting used anymore with the more convenient DX sized 17-50. In some ways, these lenses are like little brother and big brother, and some ways, they are not. A few quick thoughts:
If you have a chance to get either 17-50 or 28-75 on the used market, especially the AF-D non-built-in-motor versions, go for it. They're great deals, and for anywhere between $250 to $350 on Craigslist, you'll get a lot for your money.
- One the same camera, the 28-75 produces nicer headshots at 75mm than the 17-50 does at 50mm... that's a given considering the extra perspective compression. The bokeh rendition is also better, as the smaller lens can be a bit harsh in out of focus areas. However, for casual purposes, I find that any of the 50mm primes are usually a better choice than either of these two lenses for portrait shooting, as the zooms tend to produce a harsh bokeh if the background gets busy. This is especially true of the 17-50.
- With the 17-50, you really don't miss switching back and forth between lenses that is necessary with the 28-75. If you are in a big space, it's no problem, but mounting and un-mounting lenses gets old fairly quickly in small spaces. The 17-50 is much better matched to the DX sensor size. With the 28-75, the awkwardness of the focal length constantly reminds you that it's there.
- 28mm on DX is still in the 'normal' category. You really miss the feeling of depth that the 17-50 range provides, and have to work hard to exaggerate perspective.
- The 17-50 is sharper at f/2.8. The plane of focus is quite curved, especially at the wide end of the lens, but the 17-50 is bit more contrasty wide open. Both lenses are superb by f4, but you can shoot at f/2.8 with a bit more confidence with the 17-50.
- The 28-75 is practically vignette-free on crop frame. This is a weakness with the 17-50, the dark corners are fairly apparent when you shoot against big expanses of light background. However, for people shots, it's not that intrusive and is rather welcome at times.
- The 17-50 is a tad shorter than the 28-75. By normal zoom standards, the 28-75 is fairly small, but it still feels a bit on the long and heavy side when mounted on a DX camera.
If you have a chance to get either 17-50 or 28-75 on the used market, especially the AF-D non-built-in-motor versions, go for it. They're great deals, and for anywhere between $250 to $350 on Craigslist, you'll get a lot for your money.

#GivingTuesday 2013: 15 days and countingDec 3, 2013
This year, UNDP is joining the #GivingTuesday campaign for the first time, adding a global dimension to this powerful day of volunteerism and philanthropy. UNDP is one of over 5,600 groups and organizations from all parts of society that have joined #GivingTuesday in support of charitable giving.
Actions speak louder
Our staff members will also be volunteering their time in local communities. So far twelve of our country offices have joined the movement, showing enormous enthusiasm for this day of giving back.
Wide range of activities
Opportunities to donate time, knowledge and energy on #GivingTuesday are sheer endless and our country offices have not wasted a minute in coming up with creative endeavours. Our Regional Centre for Asia and the Pacific, for example, is partnering with the NGO Second Chance to collect donations for people living in Bangkok's slum area. The people from the Klong Toey slum will receive "home treasures" (clothing and house appliances) that they can sell in their thrift shops. In Bujumbura, Burundi, the hospitals have been sorely lacking in blood, so our #GivingTuesday there will be all about giving them precious lifeblood – figuratively and literally. The focus in Bangladesh, lastly, is on sharing knowledge and expertise about 'giving back'. Experts, local people, UN Volunteers and UNDP are all meeting to increase our understanding of what philanthropy really means.
Get involved: join our worldwide volunteering activities in your country!
View #GivingTuesday Global - UNDP in a larger map
Doing offline, showing online
And these are just a few examples. Volunteerism and philanthropy have a million faces – faces of you, me, and the communities we work with. To show these faces to the rest of the world we will also collect and share photos, videos and stories across the internet and social media, turning Giving Tuesday into a powerful celebration of giving.
Global giving: join us!
With our worldwide network of country offices we can take giving global. We do need one last magic ingredient; your passion and participation! So this December 3rd join the day's celebrations, join our activities and make #GivingTuesday the day to remember.

A couple of weeks ago my sister and I went to Brighton to visit the Biba and Beyond exhibition as recommended by the marvellous Kelly- Marie of Hareem of Peaocks. We had such an awesome time perusing the shops and cafes and I even found my dream shop full of moroccan goodies. One of the beautiful items i came across was a stunning Moroccan wool blanket with massive pom poms. I fell in love however I was on a strict budget, so left empty handed. Since then I have become obsessed....
There are a few different pom pom throw's available on the web, see picture's 4,5 6, or you could easily make your own, Picture 3. Aren't they cute?

TORONTO - Like fellow WWE diva Stacy Kiebler on Dancing With The Stars, Trish Stratus sees her gig hosting Canada's Walk of Fame ceremonies as a stepping stone to other opportunities. Unlike Kiebler, however, Stratus isn't ready to throw all the wrestling aside quite yet.
"I think I will always be connected to the world of wrestling one way or another. It's all that I know right now," Stratus told the media after the Class of 2006 was announced for the Walk of Fame in downtown Toronto. "The thing about wrestling and challenges in my life is that it's always presenting new challenges. There's always new challengers, there's always a new storyline to work over."
When pressed by a fan earlier in the public portion of the morning's press conference at the Paramount Theatre, Stratus was non-committal on any sort of timeframe that she would still be involved in wrestling. "You sound like Vince McMahon, with a contract and a pen," she joked to the fan. "I absolutely love what I do."
At the moment, Stratus' WWE storyline has her focused on Mickie James. While Stratus wouldn't guarantee a match for WrestleMania between the two grapplers for her WWE Women's Championship, she hinted strongly. "I think Mickie James and I are seeing things a little differently as of late. People are after my belt."
With the influx of new women into WWE via the Diva Search contest, Stratus admitted that the T & A content of the programming has been upped a bit. "I don't know if that's due to the talent that's coming in and out at the moment."
Now an absolute veteran of the women's locker room with a whopping six years experience under her belt, the 30-year-old Stratus is concerned about the lack of training of some of the women she has been asked to face in the ring. "It's more the safety thing, though. Recently Ashley got injured. She broke her leg in two places. That came from lack of training and probably stuff that she wasn't exactly trained to do. So that's my main concern, the safety issue. I think what's important in wrestling is the development of our characters and our personalities. So when we can develop a character, it means more of a storyline, and it means more when we have the match. In that time, they can hopefully develop their wrestling skills as well."
Stratus, speaking on International Women's Day, is proud of the firm foothold the women's division has at the moment. "In our industry, we've become part of the boys' club. We used to be sort of the eye candy of the show. Now we've gone and become accomplished athletes in the ring. We've seen an increase in demographics from the women. We've seem more young girls watching and aspiring, not necessarily to be wrestlers, but that we're women making it in a male-dominated world. We're out there being athletic entertainers. They admire that, they look up to that."
To some, having a professional wrestler host the 2006 Canada's Walk of Fame ceremonies is strange. Past hosts have included Tom Green, Jann Arden and Kurt Browning. Stratus had fun with her reputation: "Some of you may know me from the picture your son has downloaded from the Internet."
However, she vowed to bring a complete package to the June 3rd event at Toronto's Hummingbird Centre. "I'm a Canadian personality, I'm homegrown, and I'm an international actor/entertainer. I think that all adds up to a neat package to present." On stage Wednesday, dressed conservatively in a grey skirt and a black turtleneck and her hair pinned up, Stratus was confident while showing comedic elements to her personality.
Delivering Stratusfaction to a wrestling crowd isn't all that different than delivering to any other audience, she explained. "I definitely get an energy from [the crowd]. I definitely feed off their energy. It's the same. It's a performance ... I found that when I went and did Second City [comedy club], it was the same sort of thing. It was a new stage for me, but it was the same thing. You're still going and trying to get a reaction from a crowd, and you're performing in front of a crowd."
She praised the loyalty of the WWE audience. About 150 hardy souls heeded the call for fans to arrive by 7:30 a.m. for a chance to see the press conference, and wait for an autograph from Stratus. "Anytime we venture out to try something new, they're there to support us and it means a lot," expressed Stratus, who was asked earlier about her singing debut on a WWE CD.
The former fitness model is not someone who takes herself too seriously. Her responses to media questions were often light and airy: "My first reaction when I heard I was hosting was, 'What am I going to wear?' because I'm a girl, and that's what girls do."
The eight inductees into Canada's Walk of Fame are:
Greg Oliver founded SLAM! Wrestling with John Powell way back in
1996, and has been writing about pro wrestling since 1985. His recently-published book, The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Tag Teams (with Steven Johnson) is the second in a series, following The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Canadians. Order them both from the SLAM! Wrestling Store. He can be emailed at email@example.com.

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie a la The Hummingbird Bakery
The Hummingbird Bakery is the bakery in London at the moment, specializing in American-style cakes and sweets. It's a brainchild of Tarek Malouf that opened in 2004, and the book - The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook - featuring their most popular cakes and pastries was published in 2009. It's a gorgeous book, full of inviting and appetizing recipes, though the only one I've made so far is this Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie. And I've made it three times during the last month or so - for K's mum's birthday (twice) and for our daughter's first birthday party as well. I've followed the recipe more or less - replacing the icing sugar with caster sugar, topping up the amount of cheesecake to suit our local 150 g packs of cream cheese, and baking it in a round cake tin instead. I might reduce the sugar content in the brownie layer next time, as the cake is rather sweet (though the slight acidity of the raspberry layer balances it all out nicely).
The interesting thing about this cake is that the cheesecake and brownie layers are cooked at once - and this can be made a day or even two days before serving. A great cake for making in advance, as all you have to do before serving is topping it with raspberry whipped cream.
Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie
(Vaarikatega šokolaadi-toorjuustukook)
Serves 12
Brownie layer:
200 g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
200 g unsalted butter, softened
250 g caster sugar
3 large eggs
110 g plain flour (200 ml)
Cheesecake layer:
450 g cream cheese, softened
150 g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Raspberry topping:
200 ml whipping cream
100 g caster sugar
200 g raspberries
Butter a 26 cm springform tin, line the base with a sheet of parchment paper.
For the brownie layer:
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl placed over a pan of simmering water.
Cream the butter and sugar, then whisk in the eggs one at a time. Sift and fold in the flour and finally fold in the slightly cooled melted chocolate.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the cake tin.
For the cheesecake layer:
cream the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until combined, then whisk in the eggs one at a time.
Pour the cheesecake mixture carefully over the uncooked brownie mixture.
Bake in the middle of a pre-heated 170 C / 325 F oven for 30-40 minutes, until the cheesecake is firm to the touch and light golden around the edges. (The cheesecake layer will firm furthen when cooling).
Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Before serving whisk the cream and sugar until soft peaks form, then fold in the fresh or frozen (defrost and drain first!) raspberries. Spread the raspberry cream over the cheesecake and decorate with chocolate and extra raspberries.

Oh my! Chocolate, cheesecake, and raspberries in one grand dessert! This looks like a winner Pille :)

Yum! I love cheesecake in any form :) Do you think one could get away with just pureeing some raspberries with sugar for a sauce, rather than doing the whipped cream layer on top?

And so it's 10 in the morning and I've had too much food over the past few days and thanks to you, all I want to do is make cheesecake with a brownie on the bottom and raspberries on top. You ol' meanie, you ...

Seriously Pille, this is just too much. I think I just cried a little when I saw this. What I'd give for a slice :D

Oh this looks like such a treat. I love the chocolate swirls up top.

This is a truly awesome cake. After reading your post I made it for my Finnish wife for her birthday. She declared it the best cake she has ever had. I'm inclined to agree. Sooo good. I would agree with your comments about reducing the sugar levels though. I often find American cakes are a little too sweet. Love the blog.

Hi, made this cake on sunday for 4th of July. At first, i thought my springform was too small but then I measured it with a ruler at it came to 26 cm. I felt there was too much dough - 2 sticks of butter and 3 eggs? I was tempted to use a 9x13 inch pan. And yes, after baking, there was was too much dough. Also, I waited about 4 hours as recommended, but when I cut the cake it was still runny in the middle. After a night in the refri it was better yesterday, but still, next time around I will cut the batter in half and use a bit more flour. It seemed too moist for me, almost like biting into a chocolate-falvored stick of butter. But other than that, great taste. Maybe I got the measurements wrong?

I tried this and it was not good at all. Not a good recipe. I don't recommend it. The brownie part especially was not good as it was very buttery.
- 9:56 am, July 25, 2011
- Pille said...
Lara, Ben, Joey, Annie, Xiaolu, Anon. - thank you!
Hannah - that could work as well - a raspberry coulis with chocolate brownie-cheesecake.
Alanna - oops! :)
Kat -:D
Janine - I've used now 600 g of cream cheese and one extra egg for the cheesecake layer, and it seems to be more suited for that amount of brownie layer.
Jiri, I'm sorry you didn't like the cake. The brownie layer is a classic brownie layer - I use the same recipe for my regular brownies and love it. Also, I'm just about to blog about (frozen) Oreo/Domino chocolate brownie bites that uses the same brownie recipe, which we all adore.
With less butter it's no longer a brownie but a chocolate cake (which can also be a very good thing). Perhaps proper brownies as such aren't your thing? ;)
- 2:03 pm, July 26, 2011
We adore chocolate and rasberry combination, but there seemed to be too much dough for us.
Other than that tastes delicious!

Ricoh Company, Ltd. (President and CEO Shiro Kondo) has formalized its decision to participate in the German government-led "Business and Biodiversity Initiative" by adding its signature to the Leadership Declaration. On May 29th, the joint announcement by corporate signatories was released at a ministerial-level meeting held during the 9th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP9).

Just saw this release from Deschutes. They are adding yet another state to their growing list of places you can find your favorite beer on the shelf. Shouldn't be too long before they've got them all covered. Go team Deschutes! I'm sure the thirsty folks in Minnesota are thankful they can now grab this at their local watering hole or pub.
Yes, it's true. Deschutes Brewery will start selling beer in Minnesota starting the week of March 29th. Partnering with J.J. Taylor Distributing Company of Minnesota, the largest beer distributor in the state, Deschutes Brewery will be focusing on the greater Twin Cities region for its initial launch.
Black Butte Porter and Mirror Pond Pale Ale, along with a limited amount of select Reserve Series beers, will be available to Minnesotans in 22-ounce bottles and on draft.
"Minnesota is a place where people are passionate about their beer", said Gary Fish, Deschutes Brewery's Founder & President. "Getting our beer to more people who want it and are passionate about it has been part of our plan for quite a while, and we are looking forward to developing that relationship in Minnesota, starting with our two most popular beers. The response so far has been outstanding."
Deschutes Brewery beers are now available in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in most major liquor stores and in bars that support craft beer. If you can't find our beer at your favorite watering hole, please ask them to carry it! Cheers.
Twilight Ale 6-packs are now on the shelves, as well!

Mathematics initiatives: New Jersey
Global Education's world-leading globally benchmarked mathematics program is allocating free slots, from 2010/September until 2012/June, to two mathematics-oriented students, at each of the elementary schools in New Jersey, who will start Grade 5 in 2010/Fall.
Global Education's mathematics program for students is aimed at bringing the level of students who are in the top 10% locally up to the level of the top 1% of students within the top-ranked education systems, thereby putting them in a very strong position for admissions to and studies at the world's elite universities and for building influential careers. Students typically cover the local high school curriculum/AP/IB High Level (ordinarily covered by the end of the thirteenth school year) before the end of the eleventh school year.
The program, which employs live top-quality video and audio and web 2.0 mechanisms, has been developed by and is taught by many of the foremost school mathematics experts in the world, from Stanford to the Ivy League to Budapest to Moscow to East Asia.
Each group meets for a 50-minute hour each day (participation replaces participation in math classes at the local schools), Monday through Friday (those who cannot attend all sessions can review recordings of missed ones), at the same time each day (time slots starting at the top of the hour are available from early morning to late evening).
For more information about the program see https://globaleducationforyou.wordpress.com/
For further information contact firstname.lastname@example.com (make sure to include school name and county and school district in any correspondence).

"Thanks to... Mitchell Hooks"
From McGinnis Paintings.com:
"Arriving in New York, I went to work at Chaite studios in the company of Frank McCarthy, Bob Peak, Mike Hooks, Jack Thurston and, briefly, Bernie Fuchs, to name only a few; a rich learning experience, but I was doing routine studio work with little direction. One evening after work I met Mike Hooks on a street corner with his agent, Don Gelb. He suggested I show my work to Don. Don took my samples to Walter Brooks at Dell. I was assigned two covers and my book cover career began. Thanks to the generosity of Mitchell Hooks, a great artist and gentleman."
When I put together these posts, one of the first steps I take in researching is to do a simple Google Image Search. "art by Robert McGinnis" turns up 601 hits. "Art by Mitchell Hooks" returns 39.
Again from McGinnis Paintings.com:
"As with many young artists, there was a point to which one can look back and say, 'That made a difference.' Bob attended a lecture given by Coby Whitmore, another Buckeye, and by then an established star in New York. This was the impetus for Bob to come to New York."
My Google Image Search of "art by Coby Whitmore" returned 14 hits.

Neurosciences refers to the branch of medicine that focuses on the nervous system. The nervous system is made of two parts:
- The central nervous system consists of your brain and spinal cord.
- The peripheral nervous system consists of all your nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord including, including those in your arms, legs and trunk of the body.
Together, your brain and spinal cord serve as the main "processing center" for the entire nervous system, and control all the functions of your body.
A number of different medical conditions can affect the nervous system, including:
- Blood vessel disorders in the brain, including
arteriovenous malformationsand cerebral aneurysms
- Brain cancer
- Chronic pain
- Dementia, including
Alzheimer's disease
- Disorders of the pituitary gland
- Headaches, including
- Movement disorders such as tremors and
Parkinson's disease Multiple sclerosis
- Neuro-ophthalmologic disease, which are vision problems that result from damage to the optic nerve or its connections to the brain
- Peripheral nerve diseases, which affect the nerves that carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord
- Spine disorders
Neurologists and other neuroscience specialists use special tests and imaging techniques to see how the nerves and brain are working.
In addition to blood and urine tests, tests done to diagnose nervous system diseases may include:
- Computed tomography (CT scan)
- Discography (x-ray of the spinal discs) to determine the cause of low back pain
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to check for infections of the spinal cord and brain
Magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) Electroencephalography(EEG) to look at brain activity Electromyography(EMG) to test nerve and muscle function Electronystagmography(ENG) to check for abnormal eye movements, which can be a sign of a brain disorder Evoked potentials(or evoked response), which looks at how the brain responds to sounds, sight, and touch
- Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
- Myelogram of the spine to diagnose nerve injury
Nerve conduction velocity(NCV) test
- Neurocognitive testing (neuropsychological testing)
Polysomnogramto see how the brain reacts during sleep
- Position emission tomography (PET) scan to look at brain metabolic activity
Neuroradiology is a branch of neuroscience medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating nervous system problems.
Interventional neuroradiology involves inserting tiny, flexible tubes called catheters into blood vessels in the groin area and up into the blood vessels leading to the brain. This allows the doctor to treat blood vessel disorders that can affect the nervous system, such as stroke.
Interventional neuroradiology (or vascular therapy) treatments include:
- Balloon angioplasty and stenting of carotid or vertebral artery
Endovascular embolizationand coiling to treat cerebral aneurysms
- Intra-arterial therapy for stroke
- Radiation oncology of the brain and spine
Open or traditional neurosurgery may be needed in some cases to treat problems in the brain and surrounding structures. This is more invasive surgery that requires the surgeon to make an opening, called a
Microsurgery allows the surgeon to work on very small structures in the brain using a microscope and very small, precise instruments.
Treatment of nervous system-related diseases or disorders varies may also include:
- Medications, possibly given by a drug pumps (such as those used for patients with severe muscle spasms)
- Deep brain stimulation
- Rehabilitation/physical therapy after brain injuries or stroke
- Spinal surgery
The neurosciences medical team is often made up of health care providers from many different specialties. This may include:
- Neurologist: A doctor specialist who has received extra training in the treatment of brain and nervous system disorders
- Vascular surgeon: A doctor who has received extra training in the surgical treatment of blood vessel disorders
- Neurosurgeon: A doctor who has received extra training in brain and spine surgery
- Neuropsychologist: A doctor specially trained in administering and interpreting tests of the cognitive function of the brain
- Radiologist: A doctor who received extra training in interpreting medical images and in performing different procedures using imaging technology specifically for treating brain and nervous system disorders
- Nurse practitioners (NPs)
- Physician assistants (PAs)
- Nutritionists or dietitians
- Primary care doctors
- Physical therapists, who help with mobility, strength, balance, and flexibility
- Occupational therapists, who help keep people functioning well in the home and at work
- Speech-language therapists, who help with speech, language, and understanding
This list is not all-inclusive.

Another welcomed unveiling from the Paris International Motor Show is Maserati's GranCabrio MC. If you're familiar with the GranTurismo MC Stradale, the GranCabrio is literally the same car, minus a roof and plus two seats.
It carries the same aggressive and lengthy front end, giving this drop top a truly stunning look.
We won't lie, we don't really like convertibles. Roadsters have a special place in our heart, they seem to pull off roofless proportions much better, but every so often a true convertible is released and actually works. This is undoubtably one of those occasions.
The GranCabrio MC has the same running gear as the Stradale, utilizing Maserati's 4.7-liter V8 making a not-so-svelte 460hp and 384 lb-ft. And you can bet your left arm it'll sound amazing, because if there's one thing the Trident brand is consistent for, it's producing a perfect exhaust note.
With the V8 mustering up all it has, the GranCrabrio hustles to 62mph in under 4 sec, and with the soft top closed it tops out at 179mph, but 160 with 4 people and the roof down sounds like more fun.

Huskers Have More Than Just One Tough Cookie
Doc Sadler calls it the battle of the mind, and Aleks Maric says it's the No. 1 characteristic of this year's Nebraska basketball team – something that's easy to appreciate, but hard to define.
Toughness was the word Nebraska's head coach and first-team all-conference player focused on Tuesday before the Huskers left for Kansas City and the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
Toughness has been the theme of this team all season. "Cookie (Miller) was the one who took us on his shoulders and willed us to win," Maric said. "When he went down at A&M (with a severely sprained right shoulder), we all had to step up and show the same kind of toughness he did."
Miller, who has been called "One Tough Cookie" by his dad, friends and teammates his whole life, said there's been triumph through the adversity of his late-season injury. "We've learned something about ourselves down the stretch here," he said. "I'm tough, but this whole team is tough."
In other words, the Huskers have more than just One Tough Cookie, and that pleases Sadler to no end.
As a coach, it's Sadler's job to develop toughness and continuously nurture it. "I have to show an ability to help our players put their bodies in uncomfortable positions and, at the same time, show them how their minds can be trained to make it feel like a normal, everyday sort of thing," he said before reinforcing the point Maric and Miller made several times Tuesday.
"All of our guys are tough," Sadler said. "We had a couple last year – Charles Richardson and Marcus Perry – who showed us how to be really tough. We've had a couple this year – Sek (Henry) and Aleks – who have pushed themselves to areas where they didn't think they could go."
Maric agrees. "Toughness is No. 1 with Coach Sadler – right up there with character," he said. "I knew that from the moment he walked in the door to visit with me and my parents in Australia. He said he was going to build this program on toughness, concentration and character. And he has. We've taken that mindset and gone to another level. We've broken limits and set new limits for ourselves. When you start the league 0-4, toughness is the only way you fight through it to finish 7-9.
"We're not only tough, we're hungry, and we're jelling at the right time," Maric said. "A big part of toughness is coming together and accepting roles – tough roles. We all know you can train your mind and your body not to accept no for an answer. You just keep pushing and pushing. That's what this whole team is doing, pushing ourselves in every practice and every game, refusing to back down from anyone. We don't have one weak person on this team. We've been through this together and gotten better together.
"We listen to our coach and realize what it takes to win. If you can't find a groove on the offensive end, you can always find it on the defensive end. Statistically, we know we're right up there with the best in the Big 12. But we're not satisfied by any measure. We can work harder and accomplish more. We don't want the opponent to score in the 50s and 60s; we want them to score in the 30s and 40s. It's all about mindset and how tough you want to play."
Henry, a sophomore from Los Angeles, took over the starting guard position when Miller thought his season had ended in College Station. "I learned from Cookie," he said. "Fatigue is the enemy. Fatigue is the devil. You can't let it take you out of your game, mentally or physically. You have to keep doing things your teammates know you're going to do.
"I feel I'm in better shape than ever because Coach works us so hard," Henry added. "When Cookie went down, he made sure I stayed focused and solid for the team. My mom and dad and Cookie – my whole family and my whole team – told me I had the toughness to get it done. I come from the streets of L.A. People can't believe it when they see Nebraska on TV. I'm in college, and I'm a role model now. I have to stay focused, so I can follow my dream."
Miller said his dad was the first to call him a tough cookie when he was just a little guy and that teammates Henry, Maric and Ryan Anderson still call him that. "I grew up in a tough neighborhood in Charleston, West Virginia, so I've always had to be tough," said Miller, 5-7 and 165 pounds. "When people tried to pick on me when I was little, I didn't back down. I never give up in anything – golf, track, basketball, you name it. My goal is to win every time I compete."
Miller says there's another kind of toughness the Huskers have shown this season, and it's just as important. "The harder we play, the more unselfish we are," he said. "When you play together, you don't care who gets the credit. You just want to get the job done. That's all that counts."
Sadler said Anderson showed his toughness when he dislocated a finger on his non-shooting hand and came back to play minutes later. "Shoot, Paul Velander is tough," Sadler said. "He's sick all night and goes 1-for-5 in the first half at Texas, then comes out and look what he does in the second half. Everyone can play when they're feeling good and they're making every shot. It takes toughness to play when you're not feeling good and the ball's not going in the hole."
Sadler patterns his approach to toughness after his three foremost mentors – Eddie Sutton, Don Haskins and Billy Gillespie. "They all believe toughness is one of the biggest parts of coaching," Doc said. "Toughness is something we're getting to here at Nebraska, but it's still not where I want it to be."
His ultimate benchmark for toughness is Alvin Robertson, a player Sadler helped coach at Arkansas. The 6-3 shooting guard played on the 1984 U.S. Olympic gold-medal team and played 10 years in the NBA with the Spurs, Bucks, Pistons and Raptors. Robertson won the first-ever NBA Most Improved Player Award in 1986. He also won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award and made the NBA All-Star Team four times in a six-year stretch. He led the league in steals twice and still holds the top career steals-per-game average in the NBA, averaging 2.71 steals in 779 games.
Robertson was the kind of multi-dimensional player coaches covet most. He's one of only four NBA players to record a quadruple-double in a single game, registering 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals for the Spurs against the Phoenix Suns in 1986.
"Alvin knew how to play though pain and how to train his mind to do what no one expected," Sadler said. "Pain was absolutely no issue to him. He made up his mind he was going to beat you in every situation, even if it's a pickup game."
Sadler says his players are learning they're going to get beat up, elbowed and kicked in the knees every time they step on the court. But they're also learning how to give back some of the punishment instead of absorbing all of it. "When bodies are crashing and people are running into each other, you're going to think about setting a better screen the next time down the floor," he said.
Guard Steve Harley is another who exemplifies toughness. "He doesn't say much, but he's very tough," Sadler said. "You better screen him hard every time because he's going to be right there the next time. Bobby Knight once said that mental toughness is four times more important than physical toughness, and I agree. It's what separates the good from the real good players who have it. It's a factor. You can't explain it, but it's there."

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was introduced to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate presently in production. Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was exceeded in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed. Looking for Mustangs for sale in Kings Mountain NC is easy now. Just use the internet to search for them near you.
Classic Mustangs For Sale
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but a number of changes were made at the traditional opening of the new design year (start August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made sufficient distinction to require classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually endured with purists. Buy Classic Mustangs in Kings Mountain NC and live the muscle car dream.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in automobile history that the Big 3 were needing to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first version however, due to the additional devices required to meet new United States emission and safety policies, was heavier than the very first design. Efficiency was reduced and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold. 2nd generation Mustangs were available between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a 3rd time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was truly big enough for four individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body designs available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 pace vehicle and Ford constructed 10,478 commemorative replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982. Now has never been a better time to buy the Ford Mustang Of Your Dreams in Kings Mountain NC with special collector financing available.
Fourth generation style was available from 1994 to 2004. 1994 Brought about the very first significant redesign for the Mustang in 15 years. Patrick Schiavone integrated several styling from earlier Mustangs. The base model included a 3.8 OHV V6 engine from 1994 to 1998, and was mated to a basic 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic.

In the transition to our new website we've also been harvesting content from the old website, which means we've found some awesome Writing Center gems. Like an assortment of informative podcasts! Rather than let these podcasts vanish into the ether, we've decided to archive them on our new site. You can find the entire collection in our Podcast Archive. But first let me tell you a bit about what we have to offer.
The archive is broken down into three collections: Writing Center produced podcasts, Writing Center workshops and presentations, and guest lectures and workshops.
The Writing Center produced podcasts include topics like citations, primary sources, resumes, and thesis statements, as well as a three-part series on writing with poetry. Each of these podcasts is about 5 minutes long, and is scripted to cover the basics of each topic. For example, the Citations podcast explains why giving credit with citations is important, introduces MLA, APA, and Chicago styles, and discusses the use of in-text citations and works cited pages. These quickly delivered podcasts would be great support material for writing instructors.
The Podcast Archive also features a robust collection of Writing Center workshops and presentations given by Writing Center staff and faculty. This includes workshops on personal statements, Comic Life, and poster displays using CRAP principles (contrast, repetition, arrangement, and proximity), as well as presentations on the use of podcasts in writing centers, grammar as a higher order concern, professional development, and a presentation given by our very own associate director, Dianna Baldwin, on the use of Second Life, an online virtual world, in writing centers. Dianna speaks a bit about the history of SL and argues that SL brings personal connection back to online consulting through the use of the voice feature, as well as gestures controlled by the user. *
And finally, our last collection of podcasts in the archive is guest lectures and workshops featuring three scholars in the field of rhetoric and composition: Dr. Paul Matsuda, Director of Second Language Writing at Arizona State University; Dr. Tony Silva, Director of ESL Graduate and Writing Programs at Purdue University; and Dr. Kirk St. Amant, Associate Professor of Technical and Professional Communication at East Carolina University specializing in global education in online environments. Each of these scholars were guests at Michigan State, and we are fortunate to have podcasts of these events for folks to listen to and learn from.
We hope this rich and varied collection of knowledge and expertise available in our Podcast Archive will make it to your playlists, and perhaps even your writing courses.
*The Writing Center at MSU has a satellite location in Second Life, with appointments from 9am – 10pm Monday – Thursday, and 9am – 2pm Friday. Schedule a Second Life consultation!
