major HomeSchool problem! (Curfew)
Well it all started this morning when i decided to start a science project for myself, a project on can sublimial messages affect a persons choice in choosing a product? so there is a little store abouta mile away that i sometimes go to, and there it has some crucial items for my project. so i asked if i could go down there and pick up the items, and my mother said no because i don't have a parent with me and kids aren't allowed to be out without a parent from the hours of 9-3. this isn't fair! for being a homeschooled child i get the same treatment as i would be in school?? well i'm not in school so no -one should act like it! i should be free to do what i need to do as long as it is for my education, which this clearly was! and i know that she probably made up that stupid "law". i don't like being barricaded in the house all day with my insane 5 other brothers and sisters! i want to experience life instead of doing typical desk ridden schoolwork! it's not fair!
There's an official curfew during school hours? What state are you in?

I've never heard of that either. I always thought that if you were stopped by a truancy officer you had time to prove that you're a homeschool student. I let my dd out all the time (granted she's with me) during school hours and have been questioned a few times but have always had the opportunity to prove that we homeschool and that was all there was to it. Now that we've lived in this neighborhood for a while there's been no more hastle. I'm curious what state you're in and if there really is such a law.
If you're concerned about either the Earth or your health, then you owe it to yourself to check out this web site!
Sorry this is a couple days late, but I thought I'd let you know what it is (was) like here in VA. This is from www.vahomeschoolers.org website.
You'll notice that it's not been that long since VA removed this from their laws. I don't know about any other states, but I would assume that there are states that still have this kind of thing alive on their books.
Can local jurisdictions institute a daytime curfew? Do we have to be careful about letting our children out and about in the community during school hours?
Due to increased awareness of homeschooling, most families only receive the occasional "no school today?" question from chatty store clerks. It seems most people understand that hsers are out and about during the day, and they don't think it odd to see our kids during school hours anymore. Most don't wouldn't worry at all about being stopped or interrogated about being in public during school hours. There was a time when some districts did have daytime curfews. For instance, Front Royal had a daytime curfew, which made it illegal for the children of one family to walk to mass during school hours. Virginia Home Education Association (now The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers) fought hard to eliminate daytime curfews, which was finally accomplished during the 1998 session of the General Assembly, when "HB1064 carried an amendment that limits the curfew making power of local governments to the hours of 10 pm to 6 am. Daytime curfews have the effect of criminalizing the wholesome and legitimate activities of homeschooled minors not in the company of their parents during daytime hours. VHEA worked tirelessly toward this goal in both 1997 and 1998, causing introduction of anti-daytime curfew legislation in both sessions." [VHEA Newsletter] Read Eliminating Daytime Curfews: The unusual story behind the Headlines by Ellen Neal for full information.
You'll notice that it's not been that long since VA removed this from their laws. I don't know about any other states, but I would assume that there are states that still have this kind of thing alive on their books.
I heard of a city just recently that was instituting a daytime curfew in the hopes of cutting down on gangs and getting more kids in school. The problem is that kids who cut school aren't going to be deterred much by a curfew, and curfews discriminate against legit homeschoolers who get their homework done in 2-3 hours and then want to go play or work outside :\

Lake Charles, Louisiana still has a city ordinance in place. It does allow students to be out, but only with proof of homeschooling. You can read the details at www.swlachefinc.org , click on city ordinance.

Let's Play Two, Again: Brewers at Nats (4/17/2011)
After starting out our 2011 season with an outstanding doubleheader in Baltimore (Tim's first doubleheader), our second game was slated to be the Marlins at Phillies on Saturday, April 16, 2011. Unfortunately, rain wiped out most of the games in the NE region of the United States that day, including our game in Philadelphia.
The Phillies rescheduled the game for June 15th, thus freeing us up to travel to the Nation's capital on April 17, 2011 for our second consecutive single-admission doubleheader, featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the Washington Nationals.
The action was slated to start at 1:10 p.m. I was confident there would be BP, so we arrived 2.5 hours early. The Nats and Brewers did not disappoint. There was full batting practice by both teams.
After a 30-second stop in the LF seats, we headed over to RCF – section 143 – which was practically empty. A few minutes later, a Nationals batter hit a ball onto the warning track in deep CF. Nationals bullpen coach came walking out toward CF with his fungo bat in hand…
…I waived to get his attention, then pointed to the baseball on the warning track and then to Tim. He nodded and started walking toward the ball. He had a long walk. At the same time, a groundskeeper behind the CF wall saw the ball and walked out to get it. I yelled down toward him, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Luckily, he grabbed the ball and tossed it to Coach Lett. Lett turned and, true to his nod, fired the baseball to my waiting Rawlings glove.
Thanks, Jim Lett!
By the way, it was one of the ultra-soft leather "Training" baseballs that the Nationals like to use for BP.
A few minutes later, we relocated to the seats next to the Nationals bullpen at section 139. There was a group of Nats in RF. They tossed a few baseballs to Nats fans.
Finally, this happened…
…an unidentified Nationals player wearing a firstbasemens glove sauntered back to the warning track to fetch a stray "Training" baseball and tossed it up to me an Tim.
Thanks, unidentified dude!
All the while, a 45'ish year old dad of two 10-12'ish year old boys was yucking it up in the first row of section 140 because his boys had been the recipients of several toss ups. He was quite happy…until one of his boneheaded boys dropped his baseball down into the gap between the seats and the RF wall. Doh!
The guy was perplexed. What to do!? The groundskeepers in the bullpen said they couldn't do anything about it. Even if they could, it would require accessing a gate and walking between the wall and the stands. They had no reason to go out of their way to do it to help the dad of the newly baseball-less boy.
Tim and I were down in the first row looking at the boy's baseball. Then we started watching the groundskeepers spray painting the pitching rubbers bright white…
…I looked back toward my right and witnessed something absurd. The Dad of the baseball-less boy climbed down into the gap – a good 10-15 feet down – and grabbed the dropped baseball, and another BP homer that found the gap.
As he was climbing up, I could see security running from multiple directions with rage-filled faces, ready to sink their verbal teeth into this apparently clueless dad.
I was amazed later to learn that they didn't eject him from the stadium. But they did remove him for the outfield seats for the remainder of BP. The truly amazing thing was that the Dad was bold enough to yell at the security people (really just retired guys working as ushers) that he only did it because no one would go get his baseball.
UNSOLICITED ADVICE: If you (or your kid) get a baseball, put it in your pocket or backpack. If you don't, and you eventually drop it into a 10-15 gap behind the outfield wall, DON'T CLIMB DOWN THERE TO GET IT!!! Just live with your boneheaded move.
Next, we relocated to the middle of section 141 where this was our panoramic view of Nationals Park:
Tim sat and munched on some crackers while I incompetently watched a BP homerun land two rows directly in front of me. Had I climbed over even just one row of seats, it would have been an easy on-the-fly grab. Oh, well.
When the Brewers came to bat, we relocated to the second deck in search of a Monster Prince Fielders Bomb. I'm a fairly nervous father of an extremely-high-energy-low-attention-to-danger son. So I told Tim he had to stand behind this glass barrier if he was going to stand in the front row:
Here was the view of Nationals Park from the third row in section 241:
Fielder did, in fact, several (maybe 4) homeruns into the second deck. One of them landed about 3 rows above me and bounced directly over my head (too high and out of reach) and back down onto the field.
That was the only one that was anywhere near us. Another was 3 sections toward CF and I started to run for it before totally biting it trying to jump a row a seats. Tim thought it was pretty comical. He described it to his mommy by saying that my "neck hooked onto one row of seats and his feet hooked onto another row of seats and his body just hung in the air!"
At another point, a Brewers pitcher spotted us all alone in section 241 (literally no one within 100 feet of us) and fired a baseball to us. Well, he meant to throw it to us, but he launched it about 8 rows above us. I didn't even see it land. I ran up a couple rows, walked row-to-row and could not find it anywhere. Meanwhile, a 12'ish year old kid ran from two sections over. He saw the ball, grabbed it and then laughed at me for missing out on the baseball clearly meant for me and Tim. I went back over to Tim and he said, "That boy stole our baseball!!!" It was pretty funny. I explained to him that I couldn't find it (it blended in was nudged under the back of a seat and blended in with the white pavement) and he had a right to grabbed it if he could find it.
Still, the next day, Tim told his mommy how the boy "stole our baseball." Yep, it was pretty funny.
Anyway, after Prince Fielder finished hitting, I told Tim we could go to the kids play area for a bit. But first, we walked toward RF foul territory and got this picture with the Nationals Park sign in the background:
Tim had loads of fun, as always, in the kids play area:
In addition to the normal play fort-thingy, the Nats put in an inflatable batting station. And it was a really nice one with an excellent red plastic bat (that fit time perfectly). It was a long line to bat and we made our way slowly to the front. A little girl who had no clue how to hit was directly in front of Tim in line. On her first swing, she completely missed the ball, and then took a ferocious backswing and unintentionally drilled a perfect line drive directly into Tim's nose.
Tim was not pleased.
And he shed some big time water works.
Once he calmed down, he took it out on the whiffleball:
He was trying to hit a Popfly over the hitting station like he had done at Spring Training in Peoria.
As the game was set to start, we bought some expensive, but quite tasty, chili nachos (more just "meaty" nachos)…
…which, despite initially not wanting the "chili," Tim loved.
We had seats in section 105, but we started the game in section 104. Here was our panoramic view of Nationals Park from our temporary seats in section 104:
I was happy to have a former-Mariner…
…Michael Morse patrolling LF for the Nats.
After an inning or two, it started to fill up in LF so I figured we should go get some ice cream and return to our actual ticketed seats.
On the way to get ice cream, Tim managed to destroy this water fountain:
Actually, he was just filling his water bottle and it went haywire all on its own.
On the way back to our seats, Tim struck a pose with his fancy (and too expensive ($8) M&M's vanilla ice cream helmet):
Just like last season when we saw the Brewers at Nationals, they did an elaborate Sausages vs. Presidents race…
…ending in some serious sausage carnage and a Presidents (but not Teddy) win.
In our real seats in section 105, we sat next to a nice Nats fan who Tim chatted up like nobody's business. The Brewers took an early 2-0 lead on RBI singles by Casey McGehee in the first and pitcher Yovani Gallardo in the fourth. Faced with the deficit, the Nats fan put on a rally hat, which prompted Tim to do the same:
Speaking of our real seats, here was our view of Nationals Park from section 105, row M, seat 16:
The rally hats started to work. In the bottom of the fourth, Mike Morse got the Nats on the board with an RBI single off of Gallardo.
Hard hitting Danny Espinosa followed in the bottom of the fifth with a 3-run homerun. Here he about to score the fourth Nats run of the game:
At this point, just for the heck of it, I snapped this picture of Tim:
As we approached DC by car, Tim saw a big battle ship in the Anacostia River. I knew you could see the ship from the concourse in RF foul territory. Eventually, we decided to head over there to look at the ship.
On the way, we walked through the 200 level "Conference Center" concourse. For some reason, we'd never been on this level before. We got this panoramic view of Nationals Park from the concourse behind section 203…
…and this panoramic view of Nationals Park from the concourse behind-and-between sections 205 and 206:
While we were on the 200-level, a bunch of mascots (on hand for Screech's birthday), did a little tug-o-war with some Nats field workers: The workers and Screen won:
Note the bulldog in the middle of the rope on the mascots' side. That is Jake the Georgetown Hoya. We'll see him again.
Before leaving this spot, we got a nice picture of Adam LaRoche grounding out to Prince Fielder…
…and a shot of the "Conference Center" sign above the concourse behind section 205:
Next, we decided to continue on toward RF to see the battle ship. The only issue is that the suite level indoor concourse was in our way – and we couldn't access it. So we took an elevator up to the top deck. Check out who was in our elevator:
It was Jake the Hoya. Tim charged into the elevator when it opened and was totally freaked out when he saw Jake standing there. He was too scared to get a picture with Jake. Even as we exited the elevator, he was hustling to get away from big, bad Jake.
On the final portion of our walk toward the RF concourse where we would be able to see the battleship, Ivan Rodriguez hit the 310th homerun of his Hall of Fame-to-be career.
That made the score 7-2 Nationals.
Finally, we made it to the spot – and there was the ship!
Tim was so happy to see the ship that he decided to spit seeds off of the top of the stadium.
Before heading down the concourse ramps, Tim pointed out the Capitol Building:
One level down, I took this interesting view of the field from the ramp:
When we reached the 200-level, we stopped to watch Rick Ankiel bat…
…before we continued on toward CF, and the kids play area.
Tim wanted to hit again. But he was scared of a repeat nose-bashing. So he hid behind me as we made our way through the line:
Once he reached the front of the line, he put a hurtin' on the ball:
By the ninth inning, the Nats were winning 8-2. We watched the ninth from half way down the aisle in section 118:
RBI basehits by Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder were too little too late. After this final homerun by Ian Desmond…
…the Nationals won game one 8-4.
We hustled down toward the front of the section at the last out, but we were too late and missed out on getting a baseball from the home plate umpire. So, we stood around, chatted with a fan from Seattle, and got our picture taken above the visitors' dugout:
As we shuffled around in the fancy seats between games, I kept an eye open for discarded tickets on the ground. I figured a lot of Nats "fans" wouldn't be up for two games. I was right. We ended up finding 4 really nice tickets.
There was a 30 minute break between games. Among the first Brewers to come out to warm up for game two was former-Mariner Yuniesky Betancourt:
I always liked Yuni. I like him even more now that he toss us his warm up baseball:
Before the second game started, we got a great picture of Tim and Teddy Roosevelt:
We spent most of the game in or around section 114. One of the tickets we found was in section1 114, row L. But we started the game toward the back of section 114. Here was our view:
We moved up to a totally empty row L:
…in time to get a great view of Yuniesky Betancourt's RBI single in the fourth inning:
We had an even better ticket than the section1 114, row L seat. But I wanted to wait to make sure they were empty.
We decided to go to the kids play area one more time. On the way to the play area, I took a picture of what would become "our" ticketed seats for the rest of the game:
And Tim wanted a picture with the blossoming trees behind section 106:
After some playing, we reported to our section new section. I showed the usher our ticket for seat no. 3, but asked if it was okay if we sat in the empty seats in the middle of the section – I think it was no 25'ish. He told us it was no problem.
So, here is a picture of Tim standing in front of my seat:
And here he is watching the game from his seats…
Our seats were in an exclusive handicap accessible seating area. It also had special access points where people like Teddy and Abe…
…would use to access the field. They would come from a hallway running under the seats and then they would enter the field at a gate directly next to my seat:
I was really hoping a foul ball would roll our way because I could easily reach over and scoop it directly off of the warning track. But this Alex Cora foul was as close as we got to a foul:
Game two was a good one. It was tied 1-1 for a long time. The decisive blow came in the bottom of the seventh when Danny Espinosa hit a bases clearing 3-run triple to put the Nats up 4-1. T he Nats would eventually win 5-1.
Toward the end of the game, Tim got on the (really) big screen for flashing some fancy dance moves:
When they put him up on the board, everyone in the two sections behind us gave him a big cheer. It was really cool. Later, he could be overheard telling people in our section how, "I was on TV dancing!"
We stayed in our seats until the end of the game. When the final two people made their way in from the Brewers bullpen, we were still hanging out and Marcus Hanel rewarded us with this baseball:
And that was it. Our second doubleheader of the season was in the books.
Before heading out, we had a Nats employee take our picture:
As we headed to the exit and took a couple more panoramas on our way…section 107…
…and section 105 under the lights:
As we hit the sidewalk, Tim had me take a picture of some cool looking, big silver baseballs hanging from the side of the stadium (or a parking garage attached to the stadium):
That's it. Another long and excellent day of baseball for a father and son. Next time, I fear we will only get to see ONE game!

By Erin McPike
(CNN) — Beyonce and Jay-Z's recent controversial trip to Cuba was approved by the Treasury Department in advance of their travel, new documents show.
According to a letter obtained by CNN Tuesday, the Treasury Department wrote to two members of Congress who called for an investigation of the trip and explained the type of travel license obtained by the superstar couple.
"It is our understanding that the travelers in question traveled to Cuba pursuant to an educational exchange trip organized by a group authorized by OFAC [the Office of Foreign Assets Control] to sponsor and organize programs to promote people-to-people contact in Cuba," the letter read.
Due to the U.S. government's travel embargo with Cuba, Americans are prohibited from visiting the communist country for tourism. U.S. citizens can apply for licenses to go anyway, provided they show substantial proof they intend to visit for specific reasons, such as for business or education. And they must also provide a detailed itinerary.
Beyonce and Jay-Z went to Cuba to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary, leading press reports to characterize the trip as a vacation. The Havana Times, however, reported the couple met with a dance group, a children's theater company, an arts institute and a singer, suggesting there was a cultural and educational element to the trip.
Republican Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida took issue with the trip, and over the weekend asked the U.S. Treasury to investigate.
After receiving the Treasury's response Tuesday, Ros-Lehtinen was not satisfied.
"If the tourist activities undertaken by Beyonce and Jay-Z in Cuba are classified as an educational exchange trip, then it is clear that the Obama Administration is not serious about denying the Castro regime an economic lifeline that US tourism will extend to it," she said in a statement.
"That was a wedding anniversary vacation that was not even disguised as a cultural program. As more human rights activists engage in hunger strikes, I don't think they will see any evidence of how this scam endeavor will help them become independent of the regime."

CNC machining centres for wood generally consist of four units: the machine frame, the vacuum fixture with suction elements, the machining bed and the machining unit. All units can employ e-chain systems® and highly flexible cables from igus®, where they can provide maintenance-free operation and a long service-life. e-chains® are an ideal protection for cables and hoses, even against the high heat and high dynamics developed in wood processing operations.
Machine frame: The machine frame is a basic unit of the machine that houses the control panels. The machine drive is generally also located here. The other traveling units are installed with the machine frame as the foundation. Vacuum fixture with suction elements: Using the suction elements on the vacuum fixture, the workpieces are precisely located in accordance with the tool size. The vacuum fixture adjustment is controlled from the computer. This is accomplished in part with laser technology. The vacuum fixture and the suction elements can be controlled independently. Machining bed: Workpieces are clamped on the processing or machining bed for subsequent machining. Some machines are equipped with multiple machining stations that can be operated independently from one another. For instance, while the workpiece is still being machined, the workpiece is adjusted at the queued workstation. Machining unit:The CNC machine functions are centrally located in the machining unit. Various processing steps can be executed that depend on the installed tools.

But that pale green packaging lured me in and next thing you know I had a stick of deodorant stuck so close to my nose I swear some particles of it are still permanently embedded in my sinuses. There are two new scents, Bay Lime and Cucumber-Grapefruit. The budget wouldn't allow me to get both so I had to go with the one that made me salivate the most (drum roll please!) Bay Lime. I know…I know…A deodorant making you salivate seems like a bit much, but just smell it once and you'll understand! It's one of those scents that smells so good that you kinda want to lick it when no one's looking just to see if it taste as good as it smells. I will not confirm or deny if I did this myself. Let's just say, don't try this one at home kiddies.
It's always a gamble to try a new natural deodorant in the midst of a sweltering hot, humid summer in Georgia. But I took the brave leap and tried it one day when the temperature was well into the 90s with an unmentionable heat index. Let me tell you, you will not be disappointed by the performance of this deodorant! Traditional Tom's of Maine natural deodorants are good and all but this new sensitive skin line is incredible. It far surpasses the power of their original line and it's the only deodorant I've ever worn that has garnered me compliments. I've had nearly a dozen people comment that I smelled like a beautiful tropical island or that standing next to me made them feel like they were on vacation in Hawaii. But the all time best, and most awkward, moment came when I was sharing an elevator with a stranger. The stranger was a nice older woman. Probably in her late 60s-early 70s and she asked me what kind of perfume I was wearing. Before I could answer she went on and on about how she was more of an Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds kinda girl but that her daughter would absolutely love the scent I was wearing. When she finally stopped telling me her life story I told her it was just my deodorant and I kid you not, that woman tried to sniff my armpits to see if I was telling the truth! Thank God just as the moment got unbearably uncomfortable the elevator doors opened and I bolted out – unfortunately in my hast I ended up getting off on the wrong floor but my armpits escaped the nose of a stranger and that's what's important.
Awkward elevator moments aside, you must try this deodorant. And ladies, it is the perfect deodorant to use right after you've shaved under your arms. Both scents contain soothing aloe, witch hazel and chamomile to make you underarms feel like the happiest place on Earth!

Top Vacation Beaches
If you're like most of the northern hemisphere, you're experiencing an icy, cold and brutal winter. This particular winter has been far worse than years previous, and I for one want to get away from it all — at least in my head. And that's why this lens was appealing to me right now. The thought of travelling to some of the best beaches in the world sounds pretty good.
Beach at Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa
Buy at AllPosters.com
Lensmaster Chirundu lists some of the best holiday beaches to go to, and they're looking pretty darn good. The first beach destination on the lens is Cape Town, South Africa. Personally, I've never been there, but I've seen countless pictures of famous Table Mountain which looks incredible. Cape Town is on the opposite hemisphere, so their seasons will be running opposite if you live above the equator (so at the time of this post might be an excellent time to head down there!).
For a truly unique beach experience, head to Kenya. Also located in Africa, but directly on the equator, Kenya experiences beach weather year round right on the Indian Ocean. While the inland may have unique safari tours, the beaches are just as impressive in Mombasa. Snorkeling, diving, luxurious hotels, sightseeing and the unique African cuisine will keep you busy on your stay to Mombasa.
A remote destination, but well worth the visit, is Malta, an island smack dab in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. It's welcoming climate makes it a popular tourist destination in southern Europe, along with its rich historical significance. The location of the small island off the coast of Sicily has made it hugely important throughout the centuries to ancient Romans, Greeks, Byzantines, Arab nations, and the entire Mediterranean. Renowned for its beautiful beaches, you'll have an unlimited amount of sightseeing to do on this little European island.
Dubai also has some incredible beaches worth visiting. Situated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of the middle eastern region, Dubai is renowned for its explosive growth and innovative architecture. The city contains the world's largest building, and some impressive beaches. The temperatures through the winter months — December, January and February — are very mild and comfortable, around 75-80 degrees at a high. During the peak summer months, temperatures can rise up to 106 on the average in July and August. The population of Dubai continues to climb due its progressive attitude, beautiful weather, and technologically advanced building styles.

More layouts from the UKS cybercrop weekend.
I used lots of the photos that Anna took - they are just great!
We had a lovely bank holiday weekend, the weather has been just beautiful so we've been out in the "garden" (patch of concrete) as much as possible - we even had a BBQ last night, along with the rest of the country I bet! Let's hope it stays like this.
The wedding plans are coming along nicely, we've nearly recieved all of our RSVPs back now, just waiting on one or two. We made a good start on the seating plan, and are almost there with the order of service. Menus are chosen, Michael's shoes are bought (I was starting to worry about that!) and favour boxes are made up. There is still a rather long list of things to do though - all those silly little things!

ESTROGEN REGULATION OF BIOENERGETICS AND MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION: IMPLICATIONS FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE RISK AND THERAPEUTICS by Jia Yao A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (MOLECULAR PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY) May 2010 Copyright 2010 Jia Yao

|Presented here are a collection of studies that build on our existing knowledge of estrogen actions on brain mitochondria. Previous studies from our lab as well as other colleagues have demonstrated that estrogen (E2, 17β-estradiol) is neuroprotective against neurotoxic insults including exposure to glutamate and amyloid beta (Aβ) (Nilsen et al, 2006; Simpkins and Dykens, 2007; Vina et al, 2007b). Further, the E2 induced neuroprotective mechanisms converge on mitochondria (Brinton, 2008b; Nilsen and Diaz Brinton, 2003; Nilsen et al, 2007). In the current research project, we have hypothesized that mitochondria, particularly mitochondrial bioenergetics play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of age-related Alzheimer's disease (AD) whereas estrogen proactively sustains and enhances mitochondrial function that was compromised in aging and AD. To test our hypotheses, we have conducted a combination of in vitro and in vivo analyses which address four specific aims. Specific Aim 1 (Chapter 2) serves to investigate the role of mitochondrial bioenergetic deficits in AD pathogenesis using the triple transgenic Alzheimer's mouse model. Specific Aim 2 (Chapter 3) serves to determine the impact of E2 deficiency on mitochondrial function and AD progression. Specific Aim 3 (Chapter 4) seeks to investigate the underlying mechanism of estrogen induced neuroprotection as well as to examine the role of different estrogen receptors in estrogen action in the brain. Specific Aim 4 (Chapter 5) focuses on the therapeutic implications of the findings from the previous three aims and introduces a novel therapeutic strategy targeting mitochondria for preventing AD and/or delaying the progression of AD.; Data from these four specific aims have demonstrated that: 1) Mitochondrial bioenergetic deficit precedes Alzheimer's pathology in the 3xTgAD mouse model. 2) Loss of ovarian hormones either due to age-related reproductive senescence or surgical ovariectomy (OVX) significantly exacerbates mitochondrial dysfunction that occurs in aging or AD. 3) E2 treatment initiated at the time of OVX prevented the OVX-induced mitochondrial deficits by sustaining mitochondrial bioenergetic capacity, decreasing oxidative stress, and preventing mitochondrial amyloid and ABAD induction. 4) Therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondria could alter AD progression by manipulating brain mitochondrial bioenergetic profile.; We believe that findings from these studies will expand our understanding of the mechanism of AD pathogenesis as well as the pharmacological pathway of estrogen induced neuroprotection against AD. Our research will also enable the development of novel therapeutics that target mitochondrial bioenergetics for the prevention and treatment of AD and other neurodegenerative diseases that could be partially attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction.

Peavy, Sox Go For Sweep and .500 Mark
The long ball.
That's been the key factor for the White Sox in the first two games of the Crosstown Series. On Friday, it was Paul Konerko's two-run homer and Gordon Beckham's tie-breaking blast that proved to be the difference in the 3-2 victory over the Cubs. Last night, Dayan Viciedo, A.J. Pierzynski and Adam Dunn all went deep in the Sox's impressive 7-4 triumph.
Today, the Sox are hoping for more of the same and have the added bonus of having Jake Peavy on the mound. A win would give the South Siders a satisfying sweep and put them at the .500 mark.
Sox Notes of Note: According to reports, veteran second baseman Orlando Hudson (below), recently released by the Padres, is on his way to the White Sox. Word is he will back up Beckham and play a little third base as well. While he played third in the minor leagues, Hudson has never played the position at the big league level. I don't see a downside with the signing, even though Hudson has been with five teams since 2008 and has been going downhill fast. He'll be making the major league minimum salary and if he doesn't cut it, it won't be hard to let him go. Look at it this way, as a backup he brings a positive veteran presence and he can't be much worse at the plate than Brent Morel has been…The baseball gods must be on our side as it looks like Captain Konerko has escaped the Friday beaning without any long-term issues. It could have been so much worse.

Salman Khan at the 10 Ka Dum blog
Just added Salman Khan's blog -- the official 10 Ka Dum blog (and image source) -- to my blog roll. Spent some time recently reading his works, and he is a good story-teller with some good stories. His blogging efforts seem to have gone somewhat less noticed (relatively speaking), much like his positive impacts on the janta (Hindi) or awaam (Urdu) -- the public. They are numerous, although with the media coverage he gets, one would not think so.
While watching the 10 Ka Dum episode on July 4 (and what an entertaining episode it was!), was thinking about how Aamir, Salman, and their fans, have all grown up around each other for a while now. Surely, all of us 80's kids feel the same way. How time flies...like one of those cars in Love Story 2050 (sorry, couldn't resist ;)!
They are two of the greatest entertainers of their generation, and ever since they gave us Andaz Apna Apna (1994), we have been hoping for an encore. Glad that Aamir mentioned during the show that visitors to his blog constantly request another Aamir-Salman starrer. That would be cool, yaaron!
This post has the initial promo of the show, featuring Salman. There are some good soundtracks to review soon. Stay tuned.

I love Aamir too but he seriously needs to grow his hair back before his ears get caught in a gust of wind and he takes flight.

Hi Memsaab: I've been ROTFL ever since I read your comment! Of course, I agree with you :)

I liked your joke about the flying cars! Hee hee!
Thanks for pointing me towards Salman's blog. I've always been fascinated with him as a person. He seems to not take his acting or image very seriously, which I enjoy. I'm going to go right off and read what he has to say.... :D

You're very welcome, Filmi Girl. It's an interesting approach he's taken with the show and its blog.
Seen some of the episodes, and they really seem to be doing a good job of reaching out with some specific messages targeted at the youth. Salman does have a strong image of being one of the more care-free actors, but he has an amazing fan following among all demographics, and this can only do some good.
I like that he tends to shift the focus off him. And I didn't know there was such a thing as dollar cinema! :)

Hi Marina: Thank you for stopping by. Do like Salman's approach to blogging, and how he's integrated it with his show, which I like better than other celebrity-hosted shows. Will keep reading!

Janet Jackson and Madonna are not planning on teaming up for a musical project, despite a report in a British tabloid.
The U.K. version of OK! Magazine reported that following Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards, pop icons Madonna and Janet, who were both part of the Michael Jackson tribute at the event, had decided to collaborate.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 2009 MTV Video Music Awards
"It was a meeting of two great musical minds. Madonna was so impressed with Janet's tribute to Michael that they started talking about how great it would be to honor him by doing something together…There was definitely something very interesting being planned between them," a source told OK!, MTV U.K. reported.
When contacted by Access Hollywood, however, a rep for Madonna said the report was not true.

- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 4 medium-size fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh Meyer lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (packed) small fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup (packed) fresh Italian parsley leaves
- For aioli:
- Place mayonnaise in small bowl. Whisk in lemon juice, lemon peel, mustard, and vinegar. Gradually whisk in oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
- For fritters and salad:
- Whisk egg yolks and crème fraîche in small bowl to blend. Combine crabmeat, chives, shallot, and chopped parsley in medium bowl. Gently mix in mushrooms and yolk mixture. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover crab mixture and chill.)
- Beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry; fold into crab mixture. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. For each fritter, drop 1/4 of crab mixture (about 1/2 cup) into skillet, spacing mounds apart. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper and flatten slightly. Cook fritters until bottoms are brown, about 3 minutes. Turn fritters over. Cook until bottoms are brown and fritters are cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.

@ eTeknixCooler Master's Seidon 120M impressed us a while back with its solid price to performance ratio, offering similar performance to the competition at a price that was quite a bit lower. The Seidon 240M promises to do a similar thing, although this is very much a "budget" attempt at a premium product - so while the Enermax ELC 240, Corsair H100i and Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme all cost £88, £92 and £105 respectively, the Cooler Master Seidon 240M promises to come to market at around £80 which is about 10-20% cheaper than the competition.
Like most 240mm All-In-One products in the market the design is relatively standardised - A pair of standard thickness 120mm PWM fans, a 27mm thick 240mm aluminium radiator, a standard looking pump that is similar to the Asetek core design (as signalled by the fact Asetek are taking Cooler Master to court over it) and some standard length tubing. Cooler Master aren't bringing anything ground-breaking to market here but what they are looking to do is offer the best value for money 240mm AIO unit on the market.

1947 Hudson Commodore Super Six Pickup Truck & 1954 Chevy 3100 - Readers' Trucks
What Is That?I'm sure most of you are thinking the exact same thing we did when we opened up Jason McPike's letter, "What is that?" As it turns out, we all have a right to think that, because there were only 308 of these trucks ever built! What exactly is it? It's a 1947 Hudson Commodore Super Six pickup. Jason picked up the Hudson in Utah nearly a decade ago and hauled it back to his Spring, Texas, home. In that time he transformed the basketcase into what you see before you. Seeing as how the Hudson isn't the most popular truck, Jason had to do some improvising during the build. One of the key areas where Jason's creativity came into play was building a chassis for the Hudson. The answer to all those questions came from the Bow Tie. In the front, he installed a '69 Camaro front clip. Along with that came the F-body's rearend. In terms of power, he picked up a 350 Chevy and dropped it in, but not before he chromed the heck out of the engine accessories and brackets. For the rest of the build, things were pretty simple, in theory, at least. Jason wanted the truck to be stock appearing, so he gathered up all the missing trim and rebuilt the '47 back to its former glory. Along with that, he also laid down the Wine Berry and Jaguar white paint job.
Don't Fear The ReaperWhen Thomas Nichols of Roanoke, Virginia, set out to build his '54 Chevy 3100, he wanted to have the baddest and meanest-lookin' mofo on the streets, and as you can see, the Pro Street-style Chevy is as intimidating as the grim reaper mural on the tailgate. The heart of the beast is a 454 Chevy big-block. Atop the motor sits a 8-71 blower with two Demon 850 carburetors that Tom and his friend Thurman built. John Reinhart Rides did the bodywork on the Chevy, which included taking 10 inches out the bed to make room for the extra 10 inches added to the stretched cab. He also installed the Mustang II frontend along with the tilt steering column and full power and heated seats. Gary Beckner tubbed the rear end to make room for the meaty Mickey Thompson rubber wrapped around the Weld wheels. The painted exterior was a collaborative effort. Mike Logan coated the Chevy in a custom Pearl White with a Violet tint and laid down the skull murals on both sides of the hood. Tom's friend Drew handled the grim reaper mural on the tailgate and wing. Now we know Blue Oyster Cult said don't fear the reaper, but if any of you happen to pull up next to Tom and his '54, we'd say go ahead and ignore what the Cult said! CCT
Editor's Note: Getting your truck into Readers' Trucks is a snap, of the camera, that is. All it takes is a stack of good-quality photos of your ride that are in focus and well lit. Due to the volume of mail we receive, we regret that we cannot return photographs. Please shoot and send photos of your truck only (no people, pets, Polaroids, or printouts) to: CCT, Readers' Trucks, 774 S. Placentia Ave., Placentia, CA 92870. It is important that you include a detailed description of the modifications you have made to your truck, including any interesting stories behind it.
