Parkinson's Disease Foundation Opens $2.7 Million In Research Funding To Solve, Treat And End Parkinson's
Published: Nov 01, 2016
NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Parkinson's Disease Foundation® (PDF®), a division of the Parkinson's Foundation, seeks research proposals for emerging ideas to help solve, treat and end the disease. PDF investments of $2.7 million are part of its comprehensive strategy to mobilize the pursuit of all possible paths to a cure. Scientists can apply by visiting grants.pdf.org.
"Over the past 10 years, scientific progress in Parkinson's may have been difficult to see, as only a handful of new drugs were approved. But behind the scenes, thanks to PDF's commitment to basic science, we have more potential drug targets than we had 10 years ago. Some of them may one day slow or stop the disease in its tracks," said James Beck, Ph.D., Vice President, Scientific Affairs, PDF. "To get there, we need to pick up the pace to mobilize researchers to pursue every promising idea to improve lives and end the disease forever."
It is estimated that the number of people living with Parkinson's will double by 2030. While research is promising, no therapy has been proven to slow or stop the disease. To meet the needs of its growing community, PDF grant opportunities reflect a continued commitment to basic science to keep the therapy pipeline full and identify possible cures, and increased investments for cutting-edge clinical research to solve unmet needs in Parkinson's disease.
"For people like me who live with Parkinson's, every day matters," said Ron Wincek, Ed.S., a PDF Research Advocate of Atlanta, GA. "In working alongside PDF and its expert scientists, I learned that it matters to them too. I am hopeful that together, we can end this disease."

About Parkinson's Disease (PD)
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects nearly one million people in the US and over 10 million worldwide. Parkinson's is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's and is the 14th leading cause of death in the US. It is associated with a loss of motor control (e.g., shaking or tremor at rest and lack of facial expression) as well as non-motor symptoms (e.g., depression and anxiety). Although promising research is being conducted, there is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease.

FORFAR Athletic were the only Angus team to record a win this weekend, writes Sarah McLean.
Brechin City and Montrose both had draws against Alloa Athletic and Queen's Park, respectively, while Arbroath lost to league leaders Queen of the South.
Forfar Athletic won 3-2 at Station Park against Stenhousemuir with two goals from Gavin Swankie and another from Kevin Motion to ensure three points.
The Loons are sitting third in the Second Division table with 19 points. Ahead of them are Alloa Athletic in second with 23 and league leaders Queen of the South with 29.
As we went to press, Forfar were preparing to host Queen of the South at Station Park.
This coming weekend will see the Loons travel to Brechin City for their second derby clash of the season.
For their part, Brechin City drew 2-2 with Alloa Athletic with goals from Jonathan Brown and Andrew Jackson. Brechin City are currently seventh in the league just behind Arbroath and ahead of East Fife. They were also looking towards midweek football as we went to press with a trip to Albion Rovers.
Arbroath suffered defeat at Gayfield on Saturday when Queen of the South took away a 3-2 win and three points. Both Arbroath goals came from Steven Doris.
The Red Lichties are also looking at midweek football tonight (Wednesday) when they host bottom of the table outfit Stranraer.
This coming weekend, Arbroath will travel to East Fife on Saturday with hopes of three points to give them a boost up the Second Division table.
Montrose faced their one-time 'bogey team' on Saturday when Queen's Park arrived at Links Park. Despite a goal in the first minute from Lloyd Young, the Spiders equalised on the hour mark.
This weekend Montrose are at home once again when third place Peterhead will make the journey south. However, with only a point between them a win for Montrose could see them leap up the Third Division table.

Circus Saints & Sinners Club of America, Inc is a national charitable organization that raises money for local charities and has fun doing it.
Where most social or fraternal organizations have chapters, the Saints and Sinners' groups are called "tents" in reference to the canvas tent used to house the audience at a circus performance.
The club is a non-sectarian, non-political association of successful business and professional men with a four-fold purpose: to perpetuate the cause of entertainment in the spirit of its earliest form—the circus; promote good fellowship; contribute to worthy charities and to have fun.
Metaphorically speaking, the members—due to their human imperfections—represent "Sinners," who strive to be "Saints" of mercy by helping those less fortunate.
In the early years, the focus was on providing aid to indigent and aged circus troupers in need of financial assistance. However, because of the decline of the traditional traveling circus, the tents now contribute to a multitude of recognized worthy charitable organizations.
The club's origins date back to 1926 when a small group of circus enthusiasts in New York City founded the Circus Fans Association of America. In 1929, several of them resigned their membership and formed the Circus Saints and Sinners Club of America.

The Pusch Ridge soccer team won its 14th straight game last week, defeating the Valley Christian Trojans 4-1.
The win leaves the 14-2 Lions ranked sixth in the 1A/2A/3A rankings, right behind fifth-ranked Safford, which comes to Oro Valley for the regular-season finale at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28.
Matt Horrigan scored one goal and assisted on two others for the Lions, who outshot the Trojans 12-4.
"We got lucky," Horrigan said. "We can always get better. We got the win. That' s what matters."
The Lions opened the scoring with a goal in the third minute, as Horrigan fed Mitch Woody, who connected.
The Trojans got even in the 17th minute on a goal by Dave McClure. But it was short-lived, as Chad Springetti nailed a kick into the right corner of the net for a 2-1 Lions lead. There were more missed opportunities by the Lions, who controlled the game, and some luck when a Trojan shot hit the post. Then, in the 37th minute, Horrigan scored to give the Lions a comfortable halftime lead, 3-1.
"Getting a two-goal lead is a good buffer," coach Bob Coate said.
Even with that margin, the Lions maintained offensive pressure in the second half.
"We' re more of a second-half team," Coate said.
During the early second-half flurry, Horrigan got a shot on goal. A minute later, Woody had a one-one-one with the goalkeeper before missing. Woody also missed on another shot attempt.
In the 58th minute, Springetti got off a beautiful shot, but it hit the left post and bounced off. He came back with another strong kick, which bent the goalkeeper backwards like a fierce wind blowing, not unlike the breeze that blew continuously throughout the afternoon contest.
The Trojans were unable to penetrate the penalty box until a shot in the 58th minute.
In the 63rd minute, Geoff Pooley scored on an assist from Horrigan for the Lions' final goal.
Later, the action turned physical. After a Lion player appeared to knock down a Trojan, the Trojan retaliated and was carded for unsportsmanlike conduct. A few minutes later, Pooley was injured and let out a painful yell.
"A guy stepped on his ankle," Coate said. "We hope he'll be OK for Safford. It wasn't intentional."
The first time, the Lions played Safford, Pusch Ridge defeated the Bulldogs on penalty kicks.
"Safford was probably the best team we've played this year," Coate said. "They'll give us their best shot when they get here."

What a great vacation home in Borrego Springs across from a fairway at de Anza Country Club, the home was perfect for our family where we spent Christmas. Dan was very helpful with information on his home on how to make us comfortable. The home had all the amenities to make us feel at home, we look forward to coming back!
We felt very lucky to have found such a perfect spot for our little motor home, big dog and ourselves. It was a great experience even before we saw the house because of the thoughtful and accommodating owner with whom we interacted. We arrived to find a comfortable, nicely furnished home that fronts on a lush green golf course and in its backyard has a large fenced area with desert landscaping, pool, spa and mountain view - a very pleasant spot to hang out for us and our Anatolian shepherd. We enjoyed our walks on the roads through the golf-course community and the easy access to the center of this wonderful little desert town of Borrego Springs. We hope to return soon.
We totally enjoyed our stay here. Dan and Jean's house is large and spacious with everything you could possible need. The view of the mountains in the backyard (next to a wonderful pool) was majestic. Our dogs were happy sniffing around in the large fenced backyard. Location was perfect, close to the park and town. We would definitely come back. The nice gift basket and wine welcoming us would such a treat! It was so nice to come home to such a wonderful house (and Hot Tub) after hiking all day in the desert.
Very kind, thoughtful hosts provide everything needed and lots of extras. Son, grandsons, grandma and aunt and uncle joined for fun with grandkids. Pool with safety protection and lots of pool toys, bikes, darts, horseshoes, board games, kid videos. Gas grill for multiple cooks. Lovely well furnished home in a great location. Lots of room to spread out. This is a terrific home for vacation. Dan and Jean provide service to make an exceptional experience. Oh, and Borrego Springs is a great place to visit. Highly recommended.
Beautiful property, spotless, wonderful views, privacy... this place has it all.
Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our stay during November and December 2011. The huge backyard was great for our dogs. We also made use of the very nice jacuzzi when it was too cool for the pool.
The views out front over the golf course were pretty in the evenings, plus we watched birds in the birdbath throughout the day.
We ate most of our meals in the enclosed back lanai so we could watch the views of Pointing Rock mountain.
The roads through De Anza are great for walking and bike riding. There are tons of activities available in the area through the Anza Borrego Desert State Park, the park Foundation or the Anza Borrego Desert Natural History Association.
Overall, it's a comfortable place to relax or be as active as you choose.
We love the friendly, quiet atmosphere in Borrego. A beautiful 2 hour commute from San Diego takes us to our desert oasis. Hiking, biking, swimming and golf as well as visiting with family and friends lure us back often. Surrounded by California's largest state park, Borrego is the perfect escape from busy city life.
Borrego Springs is an official 'Dark Skies' community with the most amazing star filled nights, Anza Borrego Desert has hundreds of hikes from easy to challenging, if you're lucky you'll see some big horned sheep.

The Rediff Interview/Reverend Valson Thampu
August 08, 2003
Reverend Valson Thampu, 52, is a Christian priest who teaches English literature at St Stephen's College in Delhi.
Along with Gandhian Nirmala Deshpande and Swami Agnivesh, he formed a voluntary group, the Adhyatmak Jagran Manch, in April to promote religious harmony. An active participant in public life for the last three years, he is also a former member of the Delhi Minorities Commission.
The issue of the UCC has been hanging for a period of time. There have been sporadic references to that in the Supreme Court. For example, in the Shah Bano case (in 1986), the judge�made a far more impassioned plea to the government than Justice Khare has done.
So in a sense there is nothing surprising about it. It is in Article 44 of the Constitution and whatever is mandated in the Constitution must be realised sooner or later. So to that extent it is appropriate.
Who are these forces?
Politically, no other community matters as much as the Muslims.
But for any change to become acceptable some groundwork needs to be done. If we float a new product in the market, we first advertise about it. Political parties announce populist measures a year ahead of the elections.
A Common Civil and Secular Code
What should the UCC be like?
When people look at the Muslim personal law, they just see few things. Polygamy, triple talaaq and not giving maintenance to divorced women.
Do you think religious identity is not�important?
That will not happen to Abdullah Bukhari. Ordinary Muslims are victimised. My heart goes for this community. Exploitation of Muslims by Muslims is the greatest tragedy of this community.
How should the procedure of implementing the�UCC begin?
Do we need the Uniform Civil Code?When many government institutions are alleged�to have been hijacked by Hindutva forces�what is the guarantee that the such bodies will�work objectively?
There is no guarantee. The only guarantee in a democracy is internal vigilance. People should work together, speak and lobby. Nobody has got anything on a platter. Coordination among the secularists, intelligentsia, Minority Commission and others.
Why is the BJP so keen to implement the UCC?
The issue�has been hijacked by the BJP. It is not serious in the implementation of the�UCC. It only wants to use it as an instrument of communal intimidation.
Will the UCC help in national integration?
I don't believe a code would help in national integration. If laws can solve problems, then everything would have been solved by now. But we have dowry deaths and so many other problems. The problem is in the implementation of law. But that is no argument to insist that there should be no instrument for integration.

TARANAKI, New Plymouth/NZL (Saturday, April 6, 2013) –Courtney Conlogue (USA), 21, has claimed the 2013 TSB Bank NZ Surf Festival featuring the Dow AgroSciences Pro today over Coco Ho (HAW), 21, in clean two-to-three foot (1 metre) waves at Taranki's Fitzroy Beach.
Event No. 4 of 7 on the 2013 ASP Women's World Championship Tour (WCT), the TSB Bank NZ Surf Festival delivered clean and rippable waves for the world's best female surfers to perform on and culminated in dramatic fashion this morning between two of surfing's rising stars
And it was another day of upsets for the top surfers Sally Fitzgibbons (Aus) and Stephanie Gilmore (Aus) knocked out of the semi-finals putting Coco Ho (Haw) and Courtenay Conlogue into the final of the Dow AgroSciences Pro today.
In a dropping swell of one to 1.5 metre surf and offshore winds at Fitzroy Beach, Conlogue (US) secured her win the closing minutes against Ho (HAW) of their 35 minute final with a high scoring 8.3 wave. This score gave her a best wave score of 14 out of a possible 20 to Ho's 9.27.
With a month's rest before the next event in Rio Janeiro, Conlogue say it's great to be going home with a win.
"I feel really good, it's been a long tour down here to Australia and it's nice to be winding down here in Taranaki," says Conlogue.
"The final was definitely very tricky conditions with the tide dropping – it became really inconsistent and the swell was dropping too. We kept waiting for sets to come through but I just figured I had to make the best of the waves we had and it ended up working out for me."
Conlogue's win today bumps the young Californian from 5th to 3rd on the 2013 ASP Women's WCT rankings, within striking distance of the world surfing crown throughout the back half of the season.
For Coco Ho, today's runner-up result in the Dow AgroSciences Pro has been her best place this year vaulting the young Hawaiian from 9th to 7th on the ASP Women's WCT rankings
"So far this year it's been my best result so far and I'm really stoked that it's been here in New Zealand on the last leg of this part of the tour," says Ho.
"I'm excited to be able to go home with this result in the beautiful Taranaki. I wish I could've got the win but that's the way it goes and I'm just stoked to have found my feet. It has been a funny year. I feel I'm surfing my best but I just been really unlucky so it's great I could come here and put some heats together and to start winning felt really good. I feel like it's where I should be more often."
Meanwhile the semi-finals provided its share of upsets and closely contested heats that have been the hallmark of the Dow AgroSciences Pro.
Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 25, reigning five-time ASP World Champion, was another favorite who looked strong this morning, posting a strong 13.97 out of a possible 20 for a bevy for forehand and backhand maneuvers. The Australian's performance was no match, however, for an in-form Conlogue who halted the champ's run in the Semifinals with her 14.47 score.
Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 22, continued her impressive 2013 run in Taranaki, posting big wins before going down to Ho in this morning's Semifinals. The young Australian's Equal 3rd today, however, was not enough to stave off a rankings charge from Conlogue and Fitzgibbons was bumped down to 4th on the ASP Women's WCT Rankings.
The incredibly close battle with just .09 of a point separating their scores as Fitzgibbons scored a 15.24 out of a possible 20 to Ho's 15.33. Ho took the semi on her last wave scoring the best wave of the 30 minute heat with a 8.83 out of a possible 10.
With consistent one to 1.5 metre waves and offshore winds for the five-day Dow AgroSciences Pro, event organiser, Craig Williamson says the event has seen inspirational, progressive surfing.
"The girls are a real inspiration for Kiwi women surfers to push the boundaries of their surfing," says Williams of Surfing Taranaki, the host for the event.
"We couldn't bring the WCT event to Taranaki without the incredible support from the local community as sponsors to fund the event, as well as support with hundreds of locals coming down to the beach to watch the action."
Williams says that with the support of the Taranaki community, the event will be back again in 2014 as part of the TSB Bank New Zealand Surf Festival.
The next stop on the 2013 ASP Women's World Championship Tour (WCT) will be the Billabong Rio Pro from May 8 – 14, 2013.

John arrived bang on time, quickly diagnosed the problem and gave me an estimate for the part that was needed. He took the trouble to call me later in the day, to apologise for getting the cost of the part wrong. It was £10 more than he thought! He returned a couple of days later and completed the repair. He is a thoroughly nice guy and in my view genuinely wants to keep costs as low as possible for his customers. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John to others.

I hired Sam to build an extension. He damaged the existing roof. I had to get a roofer in to build roof and repair the damage. He left me with a hole in the kitchen roof open to the elements over Christmas. He cut a whole in the existing wall for a door and window, he cut it too low down and damaged the existing structure. We paid Sam for 2 windows and a composite door, he has not delivered these or refunded our money. I have had to hire another builder to repair damage caused and finish job.

CST Brands Inc. announced new menu items that it will sell in its convenience stores this summer.
One of additions, a Sriracha Club Puff Pie, features the popular Asian condiment in a flaky, buttery pastry filled with hot ham, turkey, roast beef and pepper jack cheese, according to a news release. A similar Seasoned Pulled Pork Puff Pie will include roasted red peppers.
For customers with a sweet tooth, Corner Stores will offer a Sweet, Salty & Spicy Whoopie Pie, a fresh-baked "cake sandwich" with chocolate icing and cake laced with sriracha and topped with pretzel bits, the release reads. One whoopie pie costs 99 cents, but customers can purchase a five-pack of whoopie bites for $1.99.
"Sriracha could be the new ketchup," Richard Poye, CST's director of food service, said in a statement.
"At Corner Store, we created an assortment of mouthwatering snacks that perfectly complement the spicy tang of rooster sauce," he said, referring to the sriracha label. "The new offerings are part of Corner Store's strategy to use more culinary ingredients to delight a customer base that is more hip to foodie trends than ever before."
CST earlier this year started adding bottles of sriracha to condiment sections near its grills and sausage stations.
Based in San Antonio, CST operates nearly 1,900 convenience stores across the southwestern U.S. and eastern Canada.

Death of swimmer, 12, being probed
Updated 9:43 pm, Monday, August 1, 2011
COLONIE -- A 12-year-old girl who possibly suffered medical problems while swimming Sunday died that night at Albany Medical Center Hospital, police said.
Colonie police Lt. Robert Winn said a cause of death for Sierra Berhaupt, of 24 Thoroughbred Lane, is unknown. An autopsy was to be conducted Monday, Winn said.
The girl was rushed to Albany Med Sunday after police and EMS workers responded to a 6:53 p.m. call to her home. Winn said people were performing CPR on the girl when emergency crews arrived.
Winn said Berhaupt was swimming under water and "appeared to be in distress" while surfacing. She was immediately pulled from the pool, but was having difficulty breathing and soon lost consciousness and stopped breathing.
"It appears that she either suffered a medical condition while swimming or her death was water-related," Winn said.
Winn said there were adults supervising the pool and there does not appear to have been any type of foul play.

The state may be unable to pay back off its bonds due to rising sea levels, flooding and erosion tied to climate change, according to the fiscal risks mentioned in offering statements issued as part of the bond selling process.

December 10, 2005 to October 2006
This report is part of the African Woman and Child Features Service (AWC) project that provides regular analyses of media content but from a gender perspective. This particular report analyses coverage of gender violence by Kenyan newspapers as part of the wider activities to mark this years (2006) "16 Days of Activism" campaign.
A study of Media monitoring of the Media Coverage of the 2007 Post-Election Violence in Kenya
This report provides the findings of the print media monitoring of electoral violence directed at women candidates who aspired for the various elective seats in the run-up to March 4th 2012 General Elections in Kenya.
This report is part of the research work undertaken by the African Woman and Child Feature Service (AWC), one of the CSOs that implemented the UN Women Project. The project worked with key stakeholders including the public, the media, women, the general voters, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, political parties, law enforcement agencies, and County governance structures to enhance a peaceful election and the culture of tolerance through the strengthening and capacity building of networks at community, regional, national and the global level.
The overall objective of the print media monitoring of gender and electoral related violence was to capture and report how the mainstream media reported women candidates and captured gender related issues including electoral related violence targeting women candidates who vied for elective posts and participated in the various stages of the electoral process leading to March 4th General Elections in Kenya.
The Global Media Monitoring report 2010 reveals that women are still significantly underrepresented and misrepresented in news media coverage, according to Global Media Monitoring Project research in 108 countries coordinated by the World Association for Christian Communication, despite significant change since the project began 15 years ago.
The 2010 report contains a plan of action for media professionals and others committed to gender-ethical news media.
GMMP research in Kenya and East Africa was coordinated by African Woman and Child Feature Service (AWC).Media monitored include all mainstream media in print and electronic.
The GMMP is the largest and longest running research and advocacy initiative on fair and balanced gender representation in the news media. It is coordinated by WACC, a global network of communicators promoting communication for social change, in collaboration with data analyst Media Monitoring Africa, and with support from the United Nations Development Fund for Women.

i read alot i have a good feeling about this year, since it seems like a change year yanks getting old everyone still loves them though and they favorite that good for some dogs to win if you want to say that
world series=
i have a feeling 1 of these 3 things, gonna bet them on 5 dimes i get prop odds here atleast 50 to 1 on all of them sign me up,
darn yankees and phillies, but i may but some small combo plays with philly in it like la angels and philly, detroit and philly as backup but id ont think philly getting to world series
look what i got me overnight, now its down to 20 to 1, i got it at 57 to 1, then it dropped to 35 to 1 and i bet more on it, and i guess i dropped it to 20 to 1???? it was only taking 100 max bets to start at 57 to 1
now its only 2o to 1
talk to me about Team Win Season Totals-always look ahead here and there -always surprise teams like Arizona and Pitt last year...
SD-the total is up to 74 +100-they let go of all their proven players-have some pitching but you should probably bet them under every night game and see how you do
Ptt-0ver 73-135
The Cards for some reason are off the board at Heritage-I wanted them over-+200 to win the Div looks good.
Also, Dodgers +600 to win the Division-they will trade/ spend in July with the new owners to get any star for even 2 months...

Reform the NCAA Rulebook
The complexity and pettiness of college sports regulations threaten to undermine the association's authority, writes Robert L. King.
I could not let University of Kentucky Basketball Coach John Calipari's recent suggestion about abandoning the National Collegiate Athletic Association and creating a new structure for Division I athletics pass without comment. I have for many years been troubled by the growing disconnect between the NCAA and the athletic programs it is to govern, the students it is to serve, and the fans whose support is vital to the continued viability of intercollegiate sports. As that gap grows wider, it is inevitable that suggestions like Calipari's will multiply, and that the future of the NCAA will become clouded.
My suspicion is that the NCAA will shrug off Coach Cal's suggestion and treat it as a predictable reaction to its recent complaint that UK had improperly celebrated Calipari's 500th win as a coach. I suspect that in the mind of NCAA officials, such an investigation was necessary because the celebration impugned its absolute authority. Several of the games that UK was counting in that total had been ordered by the NCAA to be forfeited for various rule violations attributed to schools at which Calipari had coached, although he was not found personally responsible. The fact that his teams actually won those games, and that the rule violations that led to the forfeits had nothing to do with the actual outcome of the games, was irrelevant to the NCAA.
Calipari's concerns strike me as being much deeper, and reflect a growing sentiment of lost respect and confidence in the NCAA's rulebook.
What struck me about the NCAA reaction to the UK on-campus celebration was its pettiness. Here was the NCAA announcing that it was going to initiate an investigation because people and fans at UK wanted to celebrate their coach.
The pettiness in this small episode is just the tip of the iceberg. The real problem with the NCAA is that its enforcement framework has lost sight of its mission. The rulebook governing collegiate sports has become so complex and so minutiae-driven that every Division I program in the nation has to employ lawyers on a full-time basis to be certain they are in compliance.
The recent episodes at Ohio State, where athletes sold their autographs and memorabilia for cash and free tattoos, led its longtime coach to lie about the activity to protect his program from NCAA sanctions and eventually resulted in his forced resignation. And for several of their athletes, opportunities to graduate or to get another year of experience under their belts in advance of a chance to play in the NFL will be sacrificed. The question is: Where is the harm? Did selling autographs affect the outcome of games? Was anyone injured?
Years ago, a basketball coach at one of the universities I managed in New York was charged with a violation of NCAA rules because he had hosted a barbecue for his players and their families at his home on the opening weekend of school. Because the picnic was not available to the larger student body, the event was "illegal" by NCAA dictate.
Or consider the tragic story (coincidentally involving Ohio State) of Maurice Clarett. Clarett had been a freshman superstar on the football team. The adults in Clarett's life persuaded him to challenge the NFL rule requiring that a player must be at least three years out of high school before he can be considered for employment in the NFL. Clarett lost his challenge in court. He never played a day in the NFL.
But because he tried, and in so doing had secured the services of an agent, he was immediately ineligible to play collegiate football. Clarett, a kid blessed with extraordinary talent, later committed a robbery, and sits in prison today. While he is certainly responsible for his own behavior, I cannot help but believe that the NCAA rulebook contributed to Clarett's downfall. How is anyone hurt, or the integrity of a game impaired, because a talented athlete tests his or her capacity to turn pro?
Some may consider the few examples cited above as relatively isolated episodes. Yet I contend they are sadly too representative of an environment fostered over decades at the NCAA by misguided individuals making otherwise innocent conduct illegal in the belief that the myriad rules and regulations will preserve the essence of amateur athletics that was once the hallmark of intercollegiate competition.
The notion of "amateur athletics" in the face of multibillion-dollar television contracts, multimillion-dollar coaching salaries and athletic department budgets, is little more than a myth, which today is hurting athletes and coaches, ending careers, and subjecting otherwise honorable people to unreasonable and unnecessary pressures on and off the field (or court).
There are some who point to the institutions as the source of these problems, in that the NCAA exists by virtue of the institutions that are its members. Indeed, the governing bodies of the NCAA are composed of campus presidents and athletic directors. But, as is the case at so many organizations, the permanent staff and the chief executive wield enormous power and influence over the deliberations of their volunteer boards.
I have lost count of the discussions held at annual ACE meetings in which college presidents complain about how the NCAA is out of control, and how powerless they feel to redirect its work. Whether it is the money, alumni and boards of trustees who demand winning teams, or the vulnerability any of them feel taking on an organization that has gotten so large and so powerful, most have been unable to redirect the course of NCAA behavior.
This is not a call for the end of the NCAA. But I do argue that the NCAA needs to rethink its current rule book, and redraft a set of rules that focus on what actually matters: honest competition, the prohibition of performance enhancing substances, fair recruiting practices, and competent and safe treatment of student athletes. All the rest deserves to be trashed. If not, the eventual trashing of the NCAA will come about because fans, athletes, campus presidents and coaches know John Calipari's idea reflects concerns that are widely shared.

MWF 37 iso mate for Carnival Glory 7 day on Dec 1 AND/OR 8, 2013 interior rm
Hello there!
This is my first time searching for a cruise mate, I am a straight married white female looking for another female companion. I sometimes cruise with my husband and son, but my husband works too much, so here I am.
About Me: I'm from Chicago, so it doesn't matter which cruise port I depart from. I am a part-time Nuclear Med Tech and full time house wife and mom to a 16 year old (who acts like he's 30) lol. I am a nonsmoker/nondrinker, I'm pretty straight-laced. I don't gamble. I enjoy my iPad, reading and watching movies on it. Internet. Facebook. I enjoy traveling, of course. I used to travel solo with Globus over the past 18 years, and I do at least one annual vacation with my husband and son, but after I discovered cruising I would like to stick with this form of travel. I'm very easy to work with, I'm definitely not the dominant one in a group, but I'm very easy to talk to. I'm not the wild type, but I still like to have fun doing excursions like city tours and parasailing. I am not really a clingy person, so if you want to do your own thing on the cruise, that's fine with me, or if you want a companion to do things with, I'll be there.
I want to
save money
when I travel, so I'm looking at booking an interior room. I want to do the Carnival Glory from Miami on Dec 8, 2013. I haven't booked it yet since I'm not sure how this works with traveling solo and having a cruise mate. How does it work with the credit card on file...do we each have our own onboard account? If not, how does one go about this?
Also, just to note: In addition to the Dec 8 Carnival Glory departure, I'd like to do a back to back on that same ship, so leaving Dec 1st as well. It doesn't have to be with the same cruise mate.
Can't wait to hear what everyone has to say! Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Happy Cruising everyone!

Windows 8 is not so great for me.
After officially upgrade to Windows 8, my productivity is dropped a lot. Instead of doing meaningful work, such as my personal project, I ended up playing free games from the app store. =( More life wasted, first the free RPG and then Microsoft Mahjong, gosh, it is not even real Chinese Mahjong.
@magicalclick: Do NOT install Wordament or you may never leave the house again! It's way too addictive.
Is Microsoft ever going to fix this bug that's been around since XP? (Clue: those network drives work fine)
I have it in my phone, but, I dislike word games because I sux at it, even if it is on my own native Chinese language. That's why I am a programmer, I create my own words.
@Craig_Matthews:what bug? If you mean the disconnected drives, that is as planned. Why should you maintain a connection to a remote server while not actually using it? That would tie up resources both on your system and the remote system.
@lensman: Maybe someone could make the disconnect drives look less critical. Perhaps, they should just be greyed-out.
I see this all the time. I just figured that I had misconfigured DFS, it doesn't seem to do anything bad, besides irritate end users.

It's not supposed to happen until the mapping hasn't been used for 15 minutes. And even then, the descriptive label admins put on the mapped drive is replaced with "Disconnected network drive". Then the users call up asking why they can't use a file -> save button on a document they opened because they're getting an error -- until after they've opened my computer, double clicked the drive letter, then closed it, then gone back to their application and hit save again. Additionally, for something by design, it's not very consistent since 100 other users on the network might well never see this, despite the /autodisconnect switch having never been configured.anywhere, and thus they should all timeout after 15 minutes.
Yes, it's by design that the drives are "disconnected." The design, however, doesn't work the way it's designed.
I see that drive issue when I hop onto a VPN. After a while my network drives are disconnected, and VS disconnects from TFS.
I wasted almost an entire day due to Jetpack Joyride. What the hell is wrong with me?
I actually love the new Minesweeper. Looking forward to the Minesweeper adventures
Well it is time to admit to my surprise I was wrong and that I DO like Windows 8 on my Desktop.
I did not think I would like it considering I have dual monitors and no touch screen. I thought using the desktop would be a pain but it turns out it is just fine. I do use the windows key all the time now but that's easy to get use to.
It took several tries to get it to upgrade but it finally went through. Having dual monitors with Nvidia drivers screws up the upgrade install. You have to unplug 1 monitor and task kill the NVidia drivers.
It is not just for the tablet PC. Nice job Sinofsky and group!
I installed Start8 to get the start menu back. I still have my right-hand side Windows key bring up the tiled start screen. The only reason I wanted the old start menu anyway is so I could search from the desktop while looking at the things on my desktop. So, with Start 8, my desktop workflow hasn't really changed at all, I can search with one key and not leave the desktop, and I can get to the "Metro" start with the right winkey anyway - so I can use that as a "dashboard".
Other than that, it is at least as reliable as Windows 7, and apparently faster (for the most part) as far as I can tell.
I really wish I still had the Aero theme though. I think all the glass looked nice.
I have no problem with my GTX650 dual monitor.
Yeah, the start menu is not too bad. Still irritated about my crappy My Computer Shortcut and forced to pin [my name] folder in the folder jumplist instead of unhide on the desktop. And have to pin Control Panel to my taskbar.
Best thing about win8 is the ability to install random free games without any regard to its quality/security/etc.
Hope taskbar can be updated to launch Metro App and visible and without losing visibility. Yes, I don't use Alt+Tab and I dislike to auto-hide my taskbar.

Actor said he knew something was wrong when the new Batman director questioned why the story had to be so 'dark.'
Batman Returns
What made the list, and what didn't? And in the meantime … Merry Christmas!
It's a jump from Batman to Vulture, but one the Oscar-nominated actor is ready to make.
How do the former Batmen feel about the latest actor to take the character on?

I was glad to see that the NYTimes had the sense to publish this letter from TAINA BIEN-AIMÉ, Executive Director, Equality Now, about a recent article that misrepresented women's rights in Yemen.
"Offended Yemeni Women Protest President's Remarks" (news article, April 17), you noted that Yemen's conservative customs concerning women are not legislated as in neighboring Saudi Arabia. To the contrary, in many ways sex discrimination in Yemen is sanctioned both by law and in practice.
The Personal Status Law calls for wife obedience, allows marital rape, reinforces stereotypes about women's roles as caretakers within the home and severely restricts women's freedom of movement. The recent remarks made by President Ali Abdullah Saleh condemning women's participation in public protests as being un-Islamic reflects the secondary status given to Yemeni women.
The Yemeni government must not only repeal all discriminatory provisions in its law, but also take steps to end discrimination by enacting laws that will protect women and girls, like setting a minimum age for marriage and supporting women's equal participation in public life.

Blurred Boundaries: Is the Mid-range the new High-end?
High-end and mid-range storage architectures have evolved along with the IT era of the day. Mid-range storage has historically been a compromise of functionality for price. Decades ago, Storage used to be quite simple in that, there were storage arrays and storage products that were clearly targeted at high-end enterprise storage and then very separate storage arrays that were targeted towards mid-range storage.
Today modern workload virtualisation technologies are explored and implemented to be able to satisfy the mixed workload multi-tenancy requirements of virtualisation, which is very different to 'yesterday's' single tenant workload type of approach.

One Piece (Pre-Time Skip) Anime Review
One Piece Log Day 1
This is the first day of I and my crew's journey in this dangerous sea, writing down everything in this log. I am a pirate, pursuer of boundless fame and glory as the one who'll become the next pirate king, the successor to Gold Roger, the one who found and hid the greatest treasure of all times only known as One Piece. Ever since the legendary pirate died, countless people sailed in search of the unknown legacy left by Roger, the man who incited the whole world as his last act of defiance. It won't be an easy journey, many other pirates practising their right to be free are in search of the fabled One Piece as well…
This is the adventerous review of the pre timeskip arcs of One Piece, the ongoing shounen anime series based on the award winning, Guinness breaking manga with the same name by Eichiro Oda. I am going to review the first 6 great arcs before episode 517 (Chapter 568) but with a notably more subjective take than my previous reviews. Will this deserve to be the king of shounen ? Then let us find this out !
East Blue Arc
Starts ep 1 and ends ep 61 (chapter 100). The arc is aimed at introducing us to the One Piece Universe and its basic characters. The most important parts being Romance Dawn, Syrup Village, Baratie Arc and Arlong Park arcs where Luffy, Zoro, Usop, Sanji and Nami are introduced. This arc is produced by Toei Animation during 1999 but the fully drawn animation is nice and colourful, character design and art is simple yet distinguished. East Blue reveals the earliest threats in the series for our crew, the cruelty and mercilessness of the world is shown, being a pirate is not a game, the sea is not a swimming pool
• Bounty Score: 16.000.000
• Fav Character: Dracule Mihawk
Alabasta Arc
Starts episode 61 and ends ep 135 (chapter 217). The arc is the first true fearsome challenge for the Strawhat Pirates, getting involved in a country plagued with civil war tension and the sinister plans of the criminal group Baroque Works and their mastermind leader. The sandy kingdom of Alabasta
is wonderfully drawn, with a highlight to the middle eastern style of the arc. Animation improves, the story plot is thickened with the first mysteries and the first true major villain and themes in One Piece. The focus on the villain that passes himself off as the hero taking advantage of a population in despair to control everything is truely amazing
• Bounty Score: 87.000.000
• Fav Character: Nico Robin
Skypiea Arc
Starts ep 136 and ends ep 206 (chapter 302). The arc follows the exploits of our crew in an island that does not affect the course of the story as a whole but proves to be one of the most heart felt and flavourful of all arcs in One Piece. Following the legend of the sky island, Luffy and his crew eventually reaches Skypiea, a place isolated from the world
and first reached by the navigator Noland, branded and killed as a foolish
liar. The Strawhats will have to face the powerful god Enel that overthrew the previous one and bent the island to his thunderous will together with his priests. The Pre Columbian aspects of the arc make it overall one my favourites of all times, we are in the show's golden age
• Bounty Score: 143.000.000
• Fav Character: Enel
Water 7 Arc
Starts ep 207 and ends ep 325 (chapter 430). This arc is where the series starts to step up the whole game, reaching the greatest heights of the pre timeskip part of One Piece. Water 7 follows our crew in its visit to a majestic Venice like city built on water where different ship building companies compete with one another. When Nico Robin's backstory starts to blast from her past, a secret government organization known as Cyber Pol 9 will try to take her away from the Strawhats Pirates. We can call this as one of the most iconic arcs of all times, boasting a new level in One Piece fights like we've never seen before, mystery and themes reach perfection, no fault whatsoever, only the best feels
• Bounty Score: 300.000.000
• Fav Character: Rob Lucci
Thriller Bark Arc
Starts ep 326 and ends ep 384 (chapter 489). This is probably one of the shortest arcs in the whole series, located right after the colossal saga of Water 7/Enies Lobby and it rather pales in comparison. The Strawhats end up in the gigantic island ship of Thriller Bark, owned by one of the Shichibukai, the ghastly Gekko Moria that will stand in the way of our friends. Even though the arc the eccentric and quite particular skeleton Brook (whose backstory flashback is currently my favourite) and we have a nice halloween horror like setting this is however my least favourite of all One Piece Arcs, but it can be considered as a way to catch a fun break once in a while
• Bounty Score: 10.000.000
• Fav Character: Brook
Summit War Arc
Starts ep 385 and ends ep 516 (chapter 597). Here we go with the last arc of the pre timeskip era of One Piece, the most fast paced and (for many) mind blowing arc. For the first time we have a war in the pirate world against the sworn enemies the Marines trying to execute one of the legendary Whitebeard's "children" Luffy's brother Portgas D. Ace, while the Strawhats are scattered, Luffy tries to join the battle for his brother, an ant amidst the giants. The arc has amazing parts like Sabaody, Amazon Lily, Impel Down and Marine Ford. Animation direction changes, making it not as appealing for nostalgic fans like me. Many iconic characters from all sagas return to join the greatest battles in the series as of now.
• Bounty Score: 279.000.000
• Fav Character: Silvers Rayleigh
Overall One Piece is probably the father of the next generation of shounen. It may not be a perfect series but its narrative arcs will surely keep anyone entertained despite the animation for many people would not seem as mature as stuff like AoT and Tokyo Ghoul (sarcasm). If you can follow a long odissey that cares more about the journey rather than the destination then this is your series. It's also one of the few shounen to deal with so many themes such as: slavery, tyranny, emancipation, brotherhood, war, human rights, discrimination, history, sacrifice, idealism, justice.
Overall Score 8/10

MOTORISTS fraudulently using disabled parking badges in the Capital have been snared during a two-day blitz.
Five men and three women were caught by police and council officials in just two days after being accused of using illegally blue badges. The eight motorists were charged and reported to the procurator fiscal following the swoops on Monday and Tuesday as part of Operation Bevel.
The individuals were charged with various fraud offences, including displaying a badge when not registered as disabled and displaying a badge that did not belong to them. Both police and council officers had gathered intelligence on individuals suspected of illegally using blue badges before this week's clampdown.
The men and women were charged and are set to appear in court at a later date.

PARIS (Jul. 19)
A Hebrew University professor from Jerusalem, one of the leading educators in Israel, today upbraided both Israeli Jewry and Jews in the Diaspora for "short-sighted approaches" to the basic values essential to Jewish survival. Addressing the closing session of the European Study Conference, conducted here under the auspices of the World Council of Synagogues, Dr. Ernst Akibah Simon, professor of education at the Hebrew University, told the lay and rabbinic representatives from 16 countries:
"There is a tendency in Israel to call the State a Tight for the people.' This is the wrong kind of talk, a rhetorical phrase that does much harm. If there is a chance for the Jewish State to come nearer this goal, it should not be anticipated.
"On the other hand, it is wrong for the Jews of the Diaspora to think in terms of unconditional surrender's to all that Israel does, right or wrong. Many who call themselves 'good Zionists' in the Diaspora have a double standard. They fight for the minimal rights for all peoples–which is right. But they are silent about the same questions in Israel. A true inter-relationship must be achieved between Israeli Jewry and Jewries in the Diaspora. Neither must be exclusively either the giver or the receiver."
The European Study Conference has been attended by representatives from 13 European countries and by observers from Israel, Argentina and the United States. Today, the conference was closed with solemn ceremonies at the Tomb for the Six Million, the monument here to the Jewish martyrs who died during the Nazi holocaust. Rabbi Bernard Segal, executive director of the United Synagogue of America, the Conservative denomination's largest component in the World Council, delivered the commemorative address during the ceremonies.
Rabbi Segal recalled the fact that, while many of the dead "accepted their fate without resistance in the tradition of the ancient Jewish martyrs," others "fought back in the spirit of Israel and the spirit of Jewry's ancient and modern heroes." He pointed out that both traditions have contributed to world heroism, citing Jewish traditional influences on liberation movements like those headed by the late Mahatma Gandhi in India and by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., in the United States, today. "Both, " he said, "are followers of the ancient Jewish tradition."

Mayday, a popular Taiwanese alternative rock band, is set to perform for the first time in Beijing to a sold out crowd. According to promotional posters, the band is pictured in front of the silhouette of a large robot – who is being dubbed the band's 6th member – who will help out on the tour. The robot can move and will interact with the band in computer animated sequences shown on huge screens, switching back and forth with events taking place on stage. Just transporting the "big guy" around took 4 special transport containers – and the band has had to hire a local factory to assemble and debug the robot. [source: Sina (CN)]

blogging – contributing Berlin coverage to FLARE.com
While sketching my heart out in Berlin, I also had the opportunity to contribute a series of daily diary posts to FLARE.com, the website of FLARE Magazine, one of Canada's most respected fashion publications. It was a thrill to have my first professional writing assignment. As I am neither an insider or a journalist, I chose to put together a very candid take on attending a foreign fashion week as a niche blogger, and I'm pleased that it has been well received. Check it out, and while you're on FLARE.com, take a look at all the other terrific content too – in particular EIC Lisa Tant's blog is a must read for insights from inside the glossy business.

Acts 16:16-34
or 1 Samuel 12:19-24
Revelation 22:12-14,16-17,20
or Acts 16:16-34
John 17:20-26
Psalm 68:1-20 or 47
O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
With Paul and Silas, we came to Philippi in Macedonia, a Roman colony, and, as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners a great deal of money by fortune-telling. While she followed Paul and us, she would cry out, "These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you a way of salvation." She kept doing this for many days. But Paul, very much annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.
But when her owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities. When they had brought them before the magistrates, they said, "These men are disturbing our city; they are Jews and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or observe." The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates had them stripped of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods. After they had given them a severe flogging, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely. Following these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened. When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, since he supposed that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted in a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here." The jailer called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them outside and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They answered, "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." They spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. At the same hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and his entire family were baptized without delay. He brought them up into the house and set food before them; and he and his entire household rejoiced that he had become a believer in God.
After Saul had been made King, the people greatly feared the Lord, and all the people said to Samuel, "Pray to the LORD your God for your servants, so that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of demanding a king for ourselves." And Samuel said to the people, "Do not be afraid; you have done all this evil, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart; and do not turn aside after useless things that cannot profit or save, for they are useless. For the LORD will not cast away his people, for his great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself. Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you; and I will instruct you in the good and the right way. Only fear the LORD, and serve him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.
At the end of the visions I, John, heard these words:
"See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone's work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates.
"It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star."
[See above]
Jesus prayed for his disciples, and then he said. "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
"Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."
