TOWN OF ANGELICA, WI (WTAQ) - A teenager from Pulaski has been arrested for allegedly breaking into homes in Shawano County.
Sheriff's deputies say they got a call just before 8 a.m. Tuesday from a resident in the Town of Angelica about a prowler in the area. The caller gave a description of the suspect and said he had left on a bike.
Law enforcement spotted the bike near a different home in the area. The house was surrounded and a portion of a road was blocked off until the 16-year-old boy surrendered.
The teen was taken into custody and transferred to the Shawano County Department of Social Services.

Kid Rock is planning to re-record his best-selling album, Devil Without a Cause , in honor of the 15th anniversary of its release. Rock says that he plans on dropping his re-imagined version of the 1998 album in August.
"Some of [the songs] will be exactly like they were and some of them will have the sensibilities of what we've learned playing those songs live for 15 years," Rock tells Billboard.com . "I'm not going to say they're going to be better than the originals; that's tough to top. But I think…we've twisted them up so much to where it's very interesting, very cool."
Rock added that he also hopes to schedule a concert dedicated to Devil Without a Cause sometime next year. "That seems like a fun thing that fans seem to like with other bands doing it," he explains. "Even though it's not the most original idea at this point, I think it would be something cool for the fans to see."

Great things happen when people come together. Face-to-face interaction is the platform where deals are struck, relationships are forged and ideas are generated. That's what Meetings Mean Business is all about: showing the real power of what business meetings, conferences, conventions, incentive travel, trade shows and exhibitions collectively do for people, businesses and communities.
There's no substitute for a handshake and the value of your network can't be overstated. This conventional wisdom is all true. But beyond the qualitative, there are concrete, tangible outcomes that come from personal connections.
Every business needs to make smart decisions with its resources. Hosting a client event, sending a team to a conference, providing employees with incentive travel, and investing in a trade show are significant investments – but what's the return? Here's a hint: it's far more than you think.
The benefits of conventions, events, exhibitions and trade shows ripple beyond the walls of the meeting space. When meetings come to town, everybody benefits. The face-to-face industry creates jobs, generates commerce and creates far-reaching community impact.
About the Campaign

A Seaside Getaway to Lebanon's Beacon of Faded Glamour
With the same look and feel since its opening in the 60s, Beirut's Sporting Club is beloved by sun worshippers across the city: from bronzed bikini-clad demoiselles with Gitanes perched on their lips to oiled-up, portly men playing backgammon under straw hats. Lebanese photographer Rasha Kahil captured the scene earlier this summer. "I've fallen in love with it: the way it's rundown, yet luxury. The aesthetics are very contradictory," she says. Unlike the glittering beach resorts that have been sprouting up on Lebanon's coast in recent years, the low-key hideaway drips with nostalgia for an authentic Beirut culture. It wears its unassuming status with pride, denoted by worn-off wall paint, concrete platforms and rusty umbrellas emblazoned with advertisements for the much-loved local beer, Almaza. While it's been the subject of some controversy over the years, the club is nonetheless an emblem of the country itself: a place where people of all ages, sect and social standing mix, lured by the sun, freshly-caught fish snacks and a drag from a narguilé. "At the end of the day, people love it. It's representative of the country as a whole and its war mentality," says Kahil. "You don't think, you just have fun."

I thank God for the diversity in creation!

Published April 10, 2012
A star about 127 light-years from Earth may have even more planets than the sun, which would make the planetary system the most populated yet found.
According to a new study, HD 10180—a sunlike star in the southern constellation Hydrus—may have as many as nine orbiting planets, besting the eight official planets in our solar system.
The star first made headlines in 2010 with the announcement of five confirmed planets and two more planetary candidates.
Now, reanalysis of nearly a decade's worth of data has not only confirmed the existence of the two possible planets but also uncovered the telltale signals of two additional planets possibly circling the star, bringing the total to nine.
"There certainly is, according to my results, strong evidence that this is the most populous planetary system detected—possibly even richer than the solar system," said study leader Mikko Tuomi, an astronomer at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K.
"But the two new planetary signals I report exceed the detection threshold only just."
Early indications are that both newly detected worlds are super-Earths—planets slightly larger than Earth with rocky surfaces—but more measurements will be needed to confirm their existence.
Scorching Super-Earths
The planetary system around HD 10180 is too far from Earth for us to see directly. (Related: "First Pictures of Alien Planet System Revealed.")
Instead, astronomers detected the planets by measuring their gravitational tugs on the host star using the High Accuracy Planet Searcher (HARPS) instrument on the European Southern Observatory's 3.6-meter telescope at La Silla, Chile.
The five established planets are between 12 and 25 times the mass of Earth and are all around the sizes of Uranus or Neptune, meaning the worlds are most likely icy gas giants.
Of the two newly confirmed planets, one is about 65 times the mass of Earth, and it orbits farther beyond the main group. The other planet is a super-Earth 1.3 times the mass of our home world that circles very close to the host star.
(Related: "New Planet System Found—May Have Hidden 'Super Earth'.")
The two new, unconfirmed planets also have tight orbits: A planet thought to be 1.9 times the mass of Earth completes its orbit in 10 days, while the other world is likely 5.1 Earth masses with an orbit lasting 68 days.
That means, if the planets do exist, they'd be unlikely candidates to host life.
"They are likely hot planets without dense, gaseous atmospheres, because they are just so close to their star," Tuomi said.
The astronomer now hopes to take more measurements and verify the planets are really there.
Tuomi also hopes to scan the skies for other crowded planetary systems like HD 10180. (Also see "'Solar Systems' Common Across the Galaxy, NASA Probe Hints.")
"We have only just started to detect planets, and the known exoplanet systems are but a tip of the iceberg," he said.
"So [our] solar system is only one example among a spectrum of different planetary systems we will find in the near future and [is] definitely not unique."
The new research on the HD 10180 planetary system appears online this week on the website arXiv.org and has been accepted for publication in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Taiwan's political and financial heart, Taipei (台北; táiběi) is one of the most densely inhabited cities on earth. Surrounded by mountains at the northern tip of the island, the capital is a melee of motor scooters, markets, skyscrapers and temples, with almost three million people packed into the Taipei Basin. Don't be put off by first impressions: much of its architecture is shabby and unattractive, the result of slapdash construction in the early years of Kuomintang (KMT) rule, primarily to accommodate almost one million new arrivals from China in 1949. The KMT government (and many residents) regarded Taipei as a temporary home, a base from which to launch the recovery of the mainland. Not anymore – Taipei's newest buildings are smart, stylish and built to last, and it's the most international place on the island.
Though you could spend months here and still not absorb all the city has to offer, a week is usually enough to get a decent taster. Many tourists come solely to visit the mind-blowing National Palace Museum, but they risk missing out on a host of other attractions. Grapple with Taiwan's complex history on a tour of the Presidential Building, National Taiwan Museum and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, located in Zhongzheng district, the city's historic and political core. It's well worth exploring the old districts of Wanhua and Datong, home to Taipei's dwindling stock of ramshackle wooden houses and early twentieth-century facades, as well as venerable Longshan Temple, the best introduction to the country's religious traditions. Further north, Dihua Street is packed with traditional stores, while Baoan Temple is one of the country's most elegant shrines, and the Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines is an excellent introduction to Taiwan's indigenous peoples. East Taipei offers a change of pace and scenery, with Xinyi district a showcase of gleaming office towers and glitzy shopping malls, all of them overshadowed by cloud-scraping Taipei 101. Eating in Taipei is always memorable, with a huge choice of exceptional restaurants, teahouses and some of Taiwan's best night markets, while a vast range of department stores, specialist shops and antique stalls makes shopping in the city just as rewarding. To the north, Yangmingshan National Park and Beitou are where the best hikes and hot springs are located, while Maokong and Wulai to the south provide a taster of Taiwan's wilder hinterland.
Brief history
People have lived in the Taipei Basin for thousands of years, but the modern city is an amalgamation of several villages brought together little over a century ago. The region's original inhabitants were the indigenous people known as the Ketagalan, but the Qing government in Beijing, having assumed control of Taiwan in 1683, granted farmer Chen Lai-zhang (from Quanzhou in Fujian), the first official licence to settle the Taipei area in 1709. More immigrants followed, leading to the creation of Bangka, Taipei's first Chinese settlement and today's Wanhua district. In 1853, new arrivals from Tongan in Fujian clashed with more established settlers from Zhangzhou in what's known as the Ding-Xia Feud. The fight left 38 dead and led to the establishment of Dadaocheng (today's Datong) by the aggrieved Tongans.
Taipei (literally "North Taiwan") Prefecture was created in 1875. The location of the city (initially refered to as "Chengnei" or city centre) was carefully chosen midway between Bangka and Dadaocheng so as not to provoke the rival clans. Construction of the city walls began in 1879, but, hampered by lack of funds, they weren't complete until 1884, marking the official founding of the city. When Taiwan was upgraded to a province of China in 1885, first governor Liu Mingchuan was already living in Taipei, but Dadun (modern Taichung), was chosen as the provincial capital. Liu started to develop Taipei regardless, building schools, establishing Taiwan's first railway and commissioning a British architect to construct the first bridge over the Danshui River in 1888. Taipei was finally made provincial capital of Taiwan in 1894, on the eve of the Japanese occupation a few months later. The Japanese era (1895–1945) saw the emergence of modern Taipei – many of the capital's finest buildings were constructed in the first half of the twentieth century, and with the destruction of the city walls between 1900 and 1904, Bangka and Dadaocheng were gradually absorbed.
In February 1947, the 2-28 Incident began here and in 1949 Taipei became the capital of the Republic of China, its population swollen by an influx of mainland Chinese – by 1967 it had topped 1.5 million. These days being Taipei mayor is one of the nation's top jobs; President Ma Ying-jeou and former presidents Lee Tung-hui and Chen Shui-bian all held the post.Read More
Taipei has a plentiful supply of mid-range and luxury hotels scattered all over the city, with hefty discounts available year round – however, beware of major trade shows such as Computex (May/June), which can lead to a shortage of rooms. Budget accommodation is also easy to find, with Taipei the only city in Taiwan that offers a decent choice of hostels. Most of the cheap accommodation is concentrated in the old city centre, but in recent years a new crop of hostels has emerged in Shida, near the major universities and plenty of nightlife.
With a bigger budget, where you stay will largely depend on your priorities: Zhongzheng and the area around the train station is the best base for getting around and convenient if arriving by bus or train, but Zhongshan is where you'll find most of the mid-range hotels and several five-stars. This district is not quite as convenient for transport, but there's plenty to eat and Zhongshan Road is one of the city's more leafy (and upmarket) thoroughfares. Wanhua and Datong are historic neighbourhoods, good for temples and traditional food, but with less choice when it comes to hotels and a long way from the nearest nightlife. East Taipei, which includes Songshan, Xinyi and most of Daan district, is where the majority of luxury hotels are located – this is the modern financial and commercial heart of the city, as well as the location of its trendier restaurants and bars, and beds are priced accordingly.
Taipei is one of the world's greatest showcases for Chinese cuisine. Be adventurous; many places have English menus or at least photographs of food, and where one dish is the main feature, pointing will usually suffice. In addition to a vast array of restaurants, the city's teahouses (cháguǎn) are atmospheric places to eat light meals and sip Chinese-style tea. For a cheaper, more local experience try Taipei's vibrant night markets (yèshì), which offer a bewildering range of dishes and excellent value for money. Another budget favourite is the "Taiwan Buffets" (自助餐; zìzhù cān), which you'll see in every neighbourhood – these canteen-style places allow you to pile up as much food on your tray as you like, with each dish incurring a small charge (it's rarely more than NT$120 for a huge plateful). In the summer make for a shaved ice stall (bào bīng or more commonly "tsua bing" in Taiwanese) – the sweet, tasty toppings make sumptuous desserts. If it's too hot, almost every department store has an air-conditioned food court in the basement, with the biggest under Taipei 101.
Drinking and nightlife
Drinking and nightlife
In recent years nightlife in Taipei has expanded from a small cluster of mainly expat pubs and local beerhouses to a variety of lounge bars and a decent selection of live music venues. Taipei's nightclubs have also taken off in a big way – though the situation is constantly changing, the scene here is as good as any in Asia, regularly attracting top DJs from Japan, North America and Europe.
Taipei's bars and clubs are scattered throughout the city in much the same way as everything else, but there are enough clusters to allow some stumbling around on foot. For years the area around Shuangcheng Street north of Minquan Road (in Zhongshan district), was considered the centre of Taipei nightlife, particularly for foreigners. US soldiers on R&R frequented the area until the late 1970s and it's still known as the "Combat Zone" today. Though it's packed with over twenty pubs it's decidedly tired compared to more hip parts of the city and tends to be frequented by an older crowd. The university districts of Shida and Gongguan in the southwestern half of the city are funkier hunting grounds for cheaper pubs and clubs, while upscale East Taipei is where you'll find many of Taipei's top lounge bars and clubs. Taipei's live music scene continues to evolve, with a growing number of venues hosting everything from local rock bands and Mando-pop to international jazz and blues acts.
Entertainment and the arts
Entertainment and the arts
Taipei has an incredibly vibrant cultural life, with a daily feast of exhibitions, shows, gigs, plays and traditional performances. Performance groups such as U-Theatre, Cloud Gate and Han-Tang Yuefu, all based in the city, are world class. The best way to buy tickets is to approach the venue directly or visit one of the ERA ticket offices located in Eslite or Kingstone bookstores. You can also download an English order form from ERA's Chinese website (whttp://www.ticket.com.tw; scroll down to the end of the page).
Taipei is one of the world's best places to see various styles of Chinese opera – it's not unusual to have ten or more productions running each month in various locations – while Western classical and Chinese music, especially nanguan is usually performed somewhere in Taipei year round and the standards are generally high.
Taipei is also loaded with cinemas, most of them packed at the weekends. All the major Hollywood movies arrive in Taiwan soon after their US release dates and are rarely dubbed into Chinese: Ximending is where you'll find the older and larger screens – check times in local English newspapers.
Contemporary and classical art is booming in Taipei, too, with numerous galleries, museums and shops displaying everything from traditional Chinese paintings to installation art and glass sculpture.
Taipei is packed with huge shopping malls, most of them upmarket affairs located in East Taipei, while traditional shops tend to be in the older, western parts of the city. In addition to night markets and the shops listed below, Ximending is the place to check out Taipei street fashion. Elsewhere, the weekend Jade Market is a definite highlight, while Guanghua Market is computer-geek heaven.
Taipei has several craft centres firmly targeted at tourists, though prices and quality aren't bad and they are the most convenient way to stock up on gifts and souvenirs. If you're a serious buyer, the antique shops around Jianguo Road between Renai and Xinyi make fascinating browsing, with Lane 291 lined with posh stores full of jewellery, paintings, carvings, and statues (many are closed Mondays). Heping East Road Section 1, east of Guting MRT Station, is home to traditional Chinese calligraphy equipment stores.

Five Concrete Coffee Tables
This is not for people with small children, but it is for those of you who, like us, give our coffee tables a beating:
Seems we're always placing drinks on our coffee table, which leaves watermarks over time. We eat more meals than we'd like to admit there, which leaves it messy sometimes. And we work at it often, meaning food and drink are never far from the coffee table's surface. This has left our painted wood table a little worn. What would hold up to our excessive use? Concrete!
Watch out, shins, these are five cool concrete coffee tables that would hold up to the wear and tear:
- Couchtisch Les by Karacho & Bros.
- Concrete Coffee Table, Restoration Hardware
- Concrete Coffee Table by Jeremy Kaplan
- Mobius Coffee Table, custom, made of Trueform Concrete
- Parsons Coffee Table with Concrete Top, Lofgrens (this one's only $629!)
Like some of these but don't want to have the budget for a custom table? Custom make your own! Concrete is a material many people can use for DIY and you can design it to suit yourself! Added bonus: sprawl out on one in the heat of summer to stay cool!
15 Comments
Love these tables -- especially Parsons. What an innovative idea that can be affordable with the durability of concrete.
the first one looks like DIY, and not in a good way. Too heavy and cheap looking.
The rest are pretty cool
Let me add a few more-
How about a tufted one-
or simple
Love this idea!
When did concrete become so pretty? Or why was it ever considered ugly? (oh yeah, the 1970's). So glad its back on track. Love the texture and the soft gray. martine x
I love the element table at CB2:
$399 is enough though that I think I'd try making one before I'd buy it.
these actually seem perfect for a family with small kids--practically indestructible. Children don't have to live in rubber rooms to not injure themselves.
Love. I have small children and would be much less likely to cringe when they spilled on concrete than wood. And, crayons might look kind of cute all over it. Any diy links?
Here is a pretty good DIY
DIY concrete table
I actually have that CB2 Element table. I absolutely LOVE it. I also love how it petinas over time - it's gets darker and more interesting.
Totally a fan of the concrete-type materials.
It's great that you brought attention to that inexpensive one from Lofgrens, but when I actually go to their site and look, there's a note that says, "Due to size and weight, concrete topped tables cannot be shipped interstate."
So, that option is basically only available to people who live in Utah. Bummer.
For someone like me who is a total klutz I would pass on these. They look lovely but I would stub my toe or bash my shin into them.
eric billig of austin texas makes amazing furniture out of concrete. his concrete benches actually look like fabric from far away!
That first photo makes my floor joists groan.
The first one reminds me of a sarcophagus.
I like the others and the concept is great, but it wouldn't be practical for me either. I don't long for the days of skinned knees to come back around.
Think of how cool it would feel to place your feet on one in the summer... aaahhh.

The University of Richmond is getting some high marks. It's been named one of the most beautiful schools and one of the happiest colleges in the country.
Newsweek is ranking the U of R as the 23rd most beautiful campus and the 7th happiest school in the country - two things in which most schools would love this kind of recognition.
Gil Villanueva is the dean of admissions at U of R. He said he won't complain making this list. Having a pretty campus makes it easier for him to attract students.
"By being on campus, they really get a pretty good sense in terms of what it might be like for them as an undergraduate here," Villanueva said.
Being named one of the most beautiful schools in the country is more than just the aesthetics on campus, it also takes into account how attractive the students find each other.
U of R also cracked the top ten for happiest schools because it has a high retention rate.
94 percent of students stay at the school and 92 percent say they'd choose to go to U of R if they had to make the decision over again.
Admissions officials say national publicity from lists like this does help with recruitment. Often students and parents from far away say lists like this piqued their interest in U of R.
School officials say they always think the school has a lot to offer. They say it's nice to have someone on the outside agree.
"Whenever you're featured in an article that talks about all the good things that are happening on your campus, those types of, you really can't buy that kind of marketing."
The number of applications for the University of Richmond has nearly doubled since 2006.
The university says having a basketball team make the Sweet 16 last year also helps with recruitment.

PHP/Java Floating Point DoS Protection
Recently a floating point DoS vulnerability surfaced in both PHP and Java. The crux of the problem is that PHP and Java apps go into an infinite loop and hang when trying to process numeric values in the (approximate) range of 2.2250738585072011E-208 to 2.2250738585072013E-208. For more information see here, here and here. Ryan Barnett (TrustWave) and I ported Adobe's suggested fix into ModSecurity.
To implement the patch we:
- Detect payloads that are potentially vulnerable
- Clean the variables received and compare them against the attack pattern
- Detect and block an attack
Detecting payloads
Its important to note that there are several ways an attacker can submit the payload in this attack. The attack does not need to use scientific notation. While there is no single number that we can look for, the potential attack strings will all start with the same pattern 2.225073858507201. The decimal point can be anywhere within the string, thus we use the following ModSecurity rule to find potential attacks:
SecRule ARGS|REQUEST_HEADERS "[0-9\.]{17}" \ "phase:2,t:none, \ nolog,pass,exec:/opt/modsecurity/etc/lua/FloatingPointDoSAttack.lua"
Clean the variables received and compare them against the attack pattern
Due to the various string possiblities, the ModSecurity rules language is limited in its ability to properly identify the attack thus we use a Lua script to help us. The Lua script below grabs the ARGS and REQUEST_HEADERS collections. Removes the decimal point from the variable and matches the new variable against the pattern. If there's a match we set a transactional variable with the name of the variable containing the attack and return a message.

Manischewitz Frolic Bears
Name: Frolic Bears
I picked these up at the 99 Cent Only Store a while back and was rather scared of them. I don't know why I'd pick up candy I was afraid of, maybe it's a way of facing demons. I'm not afraid of Manischewitz products in general (except for their sweet wines) and of course I love lollies. Maybe it was the name Frolic Bears. Maybe I don't want my candy to be active and enjoying itself before I chow down on it.
After opening the package I figured out why they were at the 99 Cent Only Store at a fraction of their grocery store price. The bears were missing their ears. You can see from the photo above that the lollies are made by pouring the molten chocolate directly into the trays and inserting the sticks. This tray was a little short on chocolate and some of my bears were deformed.
Once I got over their appearance I decided to eat a few. First, the sticks are a little short for adults. Maybe they're not made for adults. Okay, they're not made for adults. The chocolate itself was very sweet and the rather American style of being creamy without milky. It was kind of crunchy at first (it's kinda cold today and my office isn't heated at night so it may as well have been refrigerated) but melted easily after that. They don't have a lot of flavor other than that, no chocolate nuances. The vanilla isn't real, so that note is a little lost too. However, this is certainly something I'd be happy to give to a kid. They're Kosher and of course are meant for Passover. The price is great, but I just can't get over the bland chocolate. If I had kids coming over to the house I might be slightly more inclined to purchase them again.

Xocoatl 73.5%
Name: Xocoatl Venezuelan 73.5% Dark Chocolate Bar
My sister-in-law brought this for Thanksgiving (she brought a lot of stuff and we didn't get to this that evening). It's part of the whole trend in authentically flavored chocolates in the Aztec tradition. This bar is from a company called Xocoatl - A Master Chocolatier (which I still haven't quite figured out how to pronounce, though I excel at saying Huitzilopochtli ). Here's a list of Aztec Gods in case you were wondering about their names. Xocoatl was the fire god, which only makes sense that so many folks are naming their spicy chocolate after him. As Chocolate is a New World discovery, it's natural thatchocolatiers investigate the roots of the food and its original preparation. Though few people drink it as it was originally made as a peppered, salted and spiced drink mixed with milk or water, we can learn a lot from the original preparations about the complex flavors inherent in the beans.
Like the Dagoba Xocoatl bar, the Choxie Hot Chocolate bar and the Vosges Red Fire Bar this dark chocolate bar combines dark chocolate with intense spices, namely chili and cinnamon in this case.
The gold wrapper not only makes this bar look precious, it's actually really good protection from odors and probably reflects a little hit that might come its way in an ordinary day. It's a pretty big bar too, rather flat and about the size of a 3x5 card. The bar I got was exceptionally fresh, with a good snap and wonderful aroma. The major smells from the bar are woodsy and with a big pop or rum/vanilla. The bar is smooth, but not terribly buttery. Not at all grainy, the spicy part doesn't hit until the morsel has melted completely on the tongue. There's a dry finish that helps to deliver the slight heat from the spice andcinnamon.
I wish it were just a little smoother, a little more buttery, but at 73.5% cocoa solids, they packed a lot in there. It's not overly sweet and very flavorful. If you are in the area and check out the shop, I actually recommend their Mayan Hot Chocolate, which has a wonderful Mexican style like Ibarra hot chocolate mixed with some spice but most notably almond bits which give it a bit of nuttiness and smooth everything out. I'm also curious to try their fruit and nut bars sometime. They do a violet and rose petal that sounds right up my alley.

Jelly Belly Chocolate Malt Balls
Name: Chocolate Malt Balls Assortment
I ate all of these. The last three for breakfast this morning. I picked them up courtesy of my trip to the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, CA back on December 2nd. Nothin' like fresh from the factory candy. The balls had a beautiful glossy sheen and smelled sweet and toasty upon opening the bag.
I didn't see these specific candies available on the Jelly Belly site, but they have some fun Christmas color mixed ones (kinda like those Easter ones that we're all probably familiar with).
If there's one thing I learned on my trip through the factory, it's that Jelly Belly knows how to pan candies. You're wondering what panned candies are? Picture a small cement mixer (one of those little ones, not the truck). They take a nugget of a candy, be it a nut, a jelly center or a sphere or malt crisp and toss it into this tumbling pan. Then they add stuff to it, liquids that coat every surface of the center. Sometimes the coatings are just sanding sugar, sometimes they're chocolate like these malt balls and sometimes they're sugars that make a crisp shell like on a Jordan Almond. And they keep doing it, until they're coated to the proper depth. Then they get a spiffy shine and are packaged up.
The chocolate was nice, sweet without being sticky and milky with a good snap. The centers were crispy and crumbly and melt in your mouth. The malt was nice and strong, providing a toasted taste to the centers which goes nicely with the mild milk chocolate. They're less "dairy" tasting than the Wilbur Milk Chocolate Malt Balls which I'm also mad for.
I don't know of many places that carry the full line of Jelly Belly's "Confections" line, but they're worth picking up when you do find them. I'll have lots more reviews when I get my factory tour review up this weekend. They're about twice the price of the Wilbur balls. But, if you're ordering from Jelly Belly already, I also recommend their Chocolate Dutch Mints (and their mint lentils, which don't seem to be on their site).

Artisan Marshmallows: Plush Puffs
Name: Plush Puffs Assortment
Yes, artisanal marshmallows. And why not? The stuff we've been getting from Kraft are not what marshmallows are capable of. And those things that you find in cereal? Please, let's not even grace them with the name marshmallow. They're not even marshy!
I was sent a generous sample pack from Ann of Plush Puffs, which is based here in Los Angeles (Sherman Oaks, to be exact). The weird thing is that until I started Candy Blog, I didn't really think much of marshmallows. Besides the See's Scotchmallows, there were very few marshmallow things that I would even try. Peeps were never on the menu, but I have been known to toast marshmallows, if only because they're the only grillable dessert I know.
Instead of just plain marshmallows, Plush Puffs are flavored with intense combinations of spice, nuts and/or fruit essences:
Caramel Swirl - I think I'd rename this one to "sticky toffee" because it had a nice carmelized sugar note to it and it was sticky. It was very sweet and had a little bit of caramelly fudge topping on it.
Chocolate Chipetta - this is the only one that doesn't feel "sweet" to me. It's rich and toasty tasting with a good chocolate hit. One of my top three flavors.
Maple Pecan - holy moly! These were really good. The maple flavor wasn't artificial or chemically like some candies can be. It was a good sweet woodsy backdrop to the sweet, chewy foam. It had almost a toffee-like flavor and I even had a few pecans in mine.
Peppi-Mint - it's like a fluffy candy cane! Seriously minty, like someone's made a foam Altoid or something. The color and texture looks more like a cake than a marshmallow but the intense flavor made me want to eat both but I settled for doing a mash-up with the Chocolate Chipetta which was really good. One of my top three flavors.
Toasted Coconut - this one smelled divine and tasted just a good. I love coconut and I love the nutty smell that reminds me of the beach and all the kids that could tan wearing that coconut oil suntan lotion. One of my top three flavors.
Sydney's Cinnamon - this was not my favorite, though I had high hopes for it. It's definitely cinnamonny, but it also has cinnamon oil, which gives it more of a candy hit than a spiciness (like eating a cinnamon hard candy). But where this puff really showed itself was in the toasting. (see below)
Vanilla Bean - I know, vanilla, kind of bland. It wasn't really bland, a little salty and it just didn't wow me. I think this would be good with something else, like maybe over pie or toasted or in s'mores.
Sam's Sour Lemon - these had a gorgeous zesty lemon smell and pretty creamy and vivid yellow swirls in them. Calling them "sour" lemon doesn't work at all for me (in fact, I would call them "zesty" lemon instead) but the flavor is really nice and mellow. I also didn't care much for the mix of textures wtih the crunchy lemon sugar but it's not a dealbreaker or anything.
There's one more flavor on their list that for some reason I didn't get in my grab bag, which is the one that sadly interested me most - Orange Honey. The honey flavor is not that noticeable in the other Plush Puffs but is one of the things that I've always found so intense about the See's Scotchmallows. (I guess I'll have to place an order.)
Per the recommendation of Ann at Plush Puffs, I tried some in my tea and of course toasted some of Sydney's cinnamon:
I brewed a cup of Revolution Lavender Earl Grey tea and and dropped in about a quarter of a puff (I didn't want to overload). As I took the photos I noticed the marshmallow dissolving into a beautiful aromatic foam. I enjoyed the combination of flavors, the creaminess of the marshmallow, the interaction of the botanicals of bergamot, lemon and lavender was really nice. And of course the sweetness of the puff was a nice change from my usually naked tea. Even after I'd slurped off the foamy dissolved puffiness there was still a nice lingering sweetness and lemony flavor. Definitely a cool way to decorate an ordinary after-dinner or afternoon tea. I still prefer my naked tea, because that's just the way I am.
The drink marshmallows were invented for, of course, is hot chocolate. I got some amazing Mayan Hot Chocolate mix from Xocoatl from my sister-in-law at Thanksgiving which I made here at the office with some milk in the microwave. In went a half of a Sydney's Cinnamon. Instead of dissolving in a bubbly foam and spreading across the surface like the lemon one in the tea did, this one hung together really well. But once I tried poking it with a spoon it melted completely. I scooped it up like some sort of dessert soup with some of the hot chocolate and enjoyed that until all I had left was my cocoa broth. The spice of the cinnamon went really well with the Mayan chocolate which already had a hit of spices in it.
I kept a few of the Sydney's Cinnamon aside for toasting. I loaded one up on a carving fork because I know that a single prong really doesn't do very well with a marshmallow. I put it over the open flame on the gas burner on my stove and it carmelized so beautifully and left the house smelling so good, I think I'll just start toasting these like incense. Here's a tip about toasting them. They're huge. They're actually too big to toast whole. There's no way to get a fully molten center (I do not like medium rare toasted marshmallows) with a marshmallow this size. What is so intense about these is that they melt even at moderate heat, which turns them into this molten, intense foamy sauce with a crispy carmelized shell. In the future I think I'll slice them in half and then have a greater surface area to center ratio.
I've been looking for a summer dessert to have after grilling and this just might be the thing. Everyone can choose their own flavor and I think it'd be really cool to make some grown-up s'mores and drinks with them. They don't quite fit into the "candy" family for me for some reason. They feel more like food, maybe that's because they're so satisfying and slightly saltier (more savory) than an ordinary marshmallow.
I should go back and add them to the gift guide, especially since they have baskets where you can choose the selection of flavors. Also, if you're dubious about them, you can try their "scraps" which are not quite perfect marshmallows. I love factory stores. Overall this is the kind of thing I'd like to offer guests at a party and I can see myself ordering them for a summer grill or maybe part of dessert a holiday cocktail party. I don't see myself just ordering them to eat, maybe it's because they feel kind of precious being handmade and all, I just can bring myself to just wolf them down like so many handfuls of M&Ms or Skittles.

KitKat Mint
Name: KitKat Mint
Yup, there it is, the latest KitKat iteration that Hershey has graced us with. It's mint flavored milk chocolate covering layers of crisp and cream. Limited Edition, so try it and love it and then get upset when it goes away or miss out and curse yourself for the rest of your life.
First, I have to say that the color of the package, like the Orange and Cream one (which didn't photograph nearly as bad as it looked in real life) is one of the least appealing colors I think I've encountered in a while. It's not a color that I want to eat. It looks like some bad frosting on a cheap cake.
That aside, upon opening the package the KitKat looks perfectly normal. Only there's a slight minty smell. Upon eating the KitKat there's the familiar crunch and snap to it, but again, the cooling sensation of mint. It's not really strong like a York Peppermint Pattie, and the milk chocolate keeps it from being rich like a Girl Scout Mint Thin cookie. But it's nice. It doesn't blow me away, but when you think about it, there are very few mint/milk chocolate combos out there, so if I'm in a minty mood, this might be what I grab. (Of course my favorite will always be the sometimes limited edition, sometimes discontinued Hershey's Cookies n' Mint.)
I was doing a little research last night and found that Japan has some new Wine KitKats (and White Chocolate Maple Syrup and Strawberry with real strawberry bits). I could just make a KitKat blog.
Once again, here are all the KitKat reviews/profiles to date.

Clark Bar
Name: Clark Bar
I finally tracked down a Clark bar (they aren't that easy to find on the West Coast). Clark bars were originally manufactured by the Clark company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania starting in 1917 (WWI) but were bought a few years back by Necco. I remember when I lived in Pittsburgh one of the best things about it was the huge, lit Clark sign on the factory. What I also liked about the Clark company is that they made one of my favorite gums, Teaberry.
The Clark bar is very similar to the Butterfinger and the current 5th Avenue bar. (All of these bars have changed hands over the years, Butterfinger was originally made by Curtis and 5th Avenue was by Ludens.) It's possible Clark was the original peanut butter honeycomb bar, but even if it wasn't it was one of the few to survive to the present day. The center of a Clark bar is honeycomb peanut butter crisp covered in a chocolate-like substance (I don't know if it was ever covered in real chocolate).
Given the choice when it came to peanut crisp bars, I usually opted for the Zagnut, which is a coconut covered peanut crisp bar (now made by Hershey's). So my recollection of the real Clark bars is a bit dim. But what I can tell you about the one I tried is that it's very dense. It's not crispy like a Butterfinger and it lacks the complex toasted flavors of the 5th Avenue. (Look at the photos on the head to head review to see the difference in the centers.) However, the fake chocolate is much better than most, it's sweet and smooth without being waxy. The crisp ends up becoming rather chewy and finally gives up a little more molasses flavor, but still doesn't have the pop that 5th Avenue gives me.
(Related nostalgia - Clark wrappers, Clark bar memories, Clark sign on Flickr, two more shots of the same old sign, story about classic sign on North Side.)

UPDATE April 21, 2010: Necco has updated the Clark Bar, it's now bigger and has a real chocolate coating. They're also available in dark chocolate. Check out the new reviews as well as a full head-to-head comparison of Butterfinger, 5th Avenue and Clark Bar.

Scharffen Berger - Cacao Nibs
Name: Chocolate Covered Cacao Nibs
You're saying, what the heck is a cacao nib and why cover it in chocolate? (Well, never ask why cover anything in chocolate ... we cover things in chocolate because that's what sets us apart from animals.)
Cacao (that's pronounced cuh-COW) nibs are what chocolate are made from. They're the edible part of the cocoa bean after it's been harvested, dried, fermented, roasted and hulled (winnowed). Yes, after all those steps (usually invovling at least two continents) you get these unassuming little crumbly brown bits. These are raw chocolate. In order to make a chocolate bar you take a bunch of them and mash them into a paste and then add some more cocoa butter and some sugar and maybe a little lecithin to keep everything smooth and you've got a chocolate bar. (The extra cocoa butter is made from taking nibs and expeller pressing them to get out the cocoa butter which leaves behind the cocoa solids which are used to make powdered cocoa.)
You can eat the nibs just as they are. They're kind of like really roasty tasting nuts. Not quite chocolately, but they have a wonderful butteriness that you don't find in many nuts. But they're a little chalkier than a regular nut as well and can be freakishly bitter at times. Apparently using nibs in recipes is all the rage now, especially since Martha Stewart featured them in a recipe recently. By coating the nibs in chocolate they're a lot more scrumptious.
But enough about the history lesson. This is pure chocolate enjoyment. Seriously. Whew!
The chocolate coating is 62% semi-sweet Scharffen Berger chocolate over the cacao nibs, which are unsweetened. They look kind of like little glossy cocoa krispies. But they taste absolutely divine. There's an alcoholic aroma to them, an intense bitter start and then this incredible mix of woodsy flavors, acidic elements, astringency and this lingering smoky feeling on the tongue. The vanilla of the chocolate coating also lingers nicely. The nibs, being a rather raw product, are unpredictable. Sometimes they're crunchy and smooth, sometimes you get one that's a little fibery or chewy.
What's also odd is that some of them taste different. I guess they may have been from different trees or harvested a different week or something. Some mouthfuls will be fruity, with intense plum or apricot notes and sometimes it's oaky or maybe have a touch of maple or even sassafrass to it. What it does is make me want more ... I keep eating them. Which is bad. These are expensive little puppies. (As is all Scharffen Berger.) Of all the Scharffen Berger products I've tried (and they're very well regarded though I'm not particularly fond of them) this is the one that sends me over the moon.

Reese's Snack Barz
Name: Reese's Snack Barz
You know this is a cool candy for kidz because there's that hip Z at the end.
This bar is not really a snack bar in the sense that a power bar or some sort of trail mix bar would be. It's a candy bar. (I think most bar shaped things that are sweet are considered candy bars whether you stuff some vitamins in there or not.)
This bar is a peanut butter marshmallow crisped rice treat with a base of chocolate. The peanut butter mixed in with the marshmallow cement is smooth and nutty with a good hit of salt. The crisped rice is, well, crispy and it all pulls apart easily without crumbling into bits (as is a problem with some crunchy granola bars). The chocolate base for the whole thing is a really nice sweet complement.
Hershey has a full range of these bars in different flavors including S'mores and Chocolate Cream. They're apparently fortified with calcium and seven essential vitamins (only 15% of the RDA for them though) and have no saturated fats but 3 grams of protein. There are worse decisions you can make for snack foods and certainly better ones in the candy family, but this is a nice in-between food. It's certainly satisfying and is a rather large feeling bar. I can see this being a good candy to travel with, a nice little snack on the plane with a watery cup of coffee to wash it down.

Two tractor-trailers and a pickup collided on Interstate 10 north of Casa Grande on Friday morning, closing traffic in both directions, according to authorities.
An ADOT spokesman said a red Ford pickup was eastbound when one of the tires separated. The driver lost control, crossed the median and struck a semi head-on in the westbound lanes about 9:45 a.m. Another semi rear-ended the first and caused its trailer to roll onto its side and leak formic acid. In all, there were 44,000 pounds of acid in the semi's trailer.
The driver of the Ford pickup is in critical condition at Maricopa Medical Center, as of Friday afternoon.
The drivers of the semis are OK.
The westbound lanes of I-10 remain closed. DPS recommends taking 187 westbound to State Road 87, which turns into Country Club in Chandler. DPS said eastbound lanes could be closed briefly as a result of the hazardous material.
Cook said the road could be closed for a long time as Hazmat crews work to contain the acid and clear it from the roadway. The process could take up to seven hours.

ATLANTA (WRCB) - A national nonprofit group analyzed the park systems in the 50 largest U.S. cities.
The Trust for Public Land study rated the Minneapolis park system No. 1 in the nation in this year's ratings. San Francisco fell from first place to third, while New York improved from third to second.
In Tennessee, Nashville ranked 38, Memphis at 42. Atlanta, GA ranked 31. Chattanooga was not among the cities analyzed.
The scores are based equally on three factors: the percentage of residents living within a 10-minute walk from a park, median park size and the percentage of total city area dedicated to parks, and a combination of the number of playgrounds per 10,000 residents and per-capita park spending.

Stanley Corngold
- Comparative Literature
Stanley Corngold, a graduate of Columbia and Cornell Universities, has published widely on modern German writers and thinkers (e.g., Dilthey, Nietzsche, Musil, Kraus, Mann, Benjamin, Adorno, among others), but for the most part he has been translating and writing on the work of Franz Kafka. He recently co-edited, with commentary, a translation of Kafka's main office writings, which describes the place of these documents in the history of worker's compensation insurance as well as their importance for an understanding of Kafka's novels and stories. On his retirement in 2009, Corngold received the Howard T. Behrman Prize for Distinguished Achievement in the Humanities at Princeton. In fall 2009, he conducted 4 seminars on his own work at King's College, Cambridge, where he was a Visiting Fellow; in fall 2010, he was a Fellow of the American Academy in Berlin. Together with Benno Wagner, he has published a new book titled Franz Kafka: The Ghosts in the Machine, which again highlights Kafka's professional experience as an influential insurance lawyer. In 2011 he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
Corngold co-directs the Princeton Kafka Network with Oxford and Humboldt Universities. This year (2011), he has also co-edited a volume of essays on Kafka titled Kafka for the Twenty-First Century; co-edited a special issue of Monatshefte devoted to papers given at the Kafka Network at Princeton in 2010; and translated Goethe's The Sufferings of Young Werther. He is now preparing a Norton Critical Edition of the same 18th-century novel. He continues to be active on the lecture circuit, with gigs forthcoming at Princeton, Harvard, Utah, Clark, Tamkang (Taiwan), and Oxford.

Digital power management implies that all of these functions are implemented with digital techniques and some type of data communications bus structure.
Digital power management offer several benefits and opportunities and can be used at several different stages of the power supply and power system life cycle. Flexibility is the key and that the power system designer may pick and choose only those features and capabilities that are important to a specific application.
The digital power management system has a basic architecture consisting of board mounted DC/DC converters or POL regulators that communicate with a centralized power system host control via a digital communications bus.
We offer a range of development and evaluation tools relevant when using products with digital interfaces. The tools are used to design and optimize board power systems.

Topic - Next steps
n.LiVE - on 04 Feb 2013
Hi there,
Im not particularly sure which section to put this in as i guess it relates to a few, and that I hope this dosent get asked daily as I have been looking about to find similar topics, but anyway.
Ive been brought up in the hills and have been walking/climbing munros in summer and winter since I was about 10 (27 now) and have always loved it (thanks to my dad). I also live in the highlands so I have easy access and no excuses.
Over the past while ive had a huge interest in winter graded climbing, and I want to persue this into high grade climbing in the future as I have alot of ambitions. At the moment however I can only do grade I / II gullies really as I dont know the first thing about ropework etc and that none of my mates are into the mountains like I am, they just go to the pub, so I am at a complete loss as to where to start, or even how to find climbing partners.
I am keen, fit and an experienced hillwalker just looking for a window to start my new climbing hobby, does anyone have any suggestions on where to start, perhaps paying for some professional tuition or trying to join a club etc?
I would be very greatful for any responses,

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (AP) - Federal authorities say a San Luis woman is in custody for allegedly trying to smuggle cocaine and methamphetamine into southern Arizona.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said Thursday that 40-year-old Norma Bernice Vidal was arrested after a narcotics detection dog smelled drugs in a side quarter panel of her sedan.
Officers say they found 10 packages of cocaine and three packages of meth.
They say the nearly 25 pounds of cocaine has an estimated value of $231,000 while the more than three pounds of methamphetamine is valued at $51,000.
The drugs and vehicle were seized and Vidal was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations for prosecution.
Authorities didn't know Thursday if Vidal has an attorney yet for her case.

Financial Planning from a Biblical Perspective
- Friday, April 15, 2005
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21 (NIV)
God has a plan for your life and your finances as well. Let's review a few important considerations that you will need to take into account in order to implement God's financial plan for your life.
The Right Foundation
The first important aspect of financial planning to consider is your purpose. Your purpose in life and the purposes that God calls your family to will have a great impact on the way you manage the resources God has given you.
If you understand your life's purpose first, you will become more effective in your day-to-day living and clearer about the financial decisions you need to make. Great examples of individuals who understood their purpose are William Wilberforce, who sought to abolish slavery in England, and Martin Luther in the Reformation. Both men lived with purpose and were amazingly effective as a result of this knowledge.
Where else can we see the effects of understanding one's purpose? We see it most clearly in the intentionality with which God directs our lives. God intentionally declares His holiness and does so with relentlessness as He interacts with us. God knows the plans He has for us and He is driven by this holy purpose. Think about the implications that this has for your life. God is seeking to reveal His holiness through you and He will not quit that purpose. What a great example God has given us of the focus we need to have.
How does this relate to investing and financial planning? Well, just as He did with Wilberforce and Luther, God has a plan for your life. You can be confident in this fact, and know that He will give you the necessary resources to accomplish His purposes. All you need to do is ask Him.
The fact that God has a plan for you also means that you need to be clear in understanding the gifts and resources that God has given your family and how you can work together to serve Himi. This understanding should direct where you give, where you invest your time and money, and how you view the world. Spend time thinking, praying, and journaling about this aspect of your life before you dig into the practical aspects of developing a financial plan.
The Tools
Once you have spent time understanding your purpose, the next step is to put together a solid financial plan. A number of great resources exist to help you through this process:
Master Your Money - by Ron Blue, takes a look what the Bible has to say about stewardship and combines it with advice on budgeting and managing your finances.
A Life Well Spent - by Russ Crosson, challenges your thinking about how to invest in your family from an eternal perspective.
Sound Mind Investing - by Austin Pryor, a great step-by-step resource outlining the process for investing and managing your finances from a Biblical and practical perspective.
The Word on Finances - by Larry Burkett, explores what the Bible says in regards to almost any area of your finances.
In addition to these resources, consider taking a Crown Ministries (www.crown.org) class through a local church or seeking out a good certified financial planner (CFP) who can help you. You can visit the CFP Board of Standards (www.cfp-board.org/cons_fndplr.html) or the Christian Financial Planning Institute (www.christianfpi.org) to locate a good CFP in your area.

News Interview
The Dirty Understory
The non-native salt cedar is a plague on many waterways in the U.S., but over the past few years in Albuquerque, with a little money, time and effort, the reign of salt cedars could be coming to an end
"Salt cedar" is a term most Albuquerqueans have heard before. Also known as "tamarisk," the plant came to the U.S. in the early 1800's as an ornamental shrub, but by the '50s had overtaken many waterways throughout the West, including our own local Bosque.
Guest Editorial
Out with the Old, In with the New
Political changes coming in 2006?
Thinking about next November's election this early is as shameless as those cheesy Christmas decorations that go up at the mall every October. But 2006 is a big election year for our city, state and nation. So here's a call to voters to put your good citizen caps on and start thinking about the upcoming elections, even as you recover from your holiday shopping/eating binge.
Is the City Bypassing Eminent Domain?
Eighty crimes, from murder to shoplifting, are included in an amendment introduced by City Council member Craig Loy. Loy feels the current wide-ranging Nuisance Abatement Ordinance needs more teeth. Promoted as a necessary measure to control nuisance properties such as large apartment complexes and places like the Blue Spruce Lounge, the amendment actually includes all real property, both commercial and residential, plus personal property and vehicles.

New Year's Revolutions
My track record with keeping New Year's resolutions has been decidedly lame in recent years—viz., my vocabulary continues to demonstrate a propensity for scatology and obscenity; my addiction to television sports remains un-remediated and my vows to begin each morning with 15 minutes of quiet reflection hold sway until, oh, sometime right before Three Kings Day on Jan. 6. So this year, I've decided to abandon resolutions and instead attempt a series of predictions about improbable but very desirable revolutions I think will occur in the upcoming year.

Odds & Ends
Dateline: New Zealand—According to police reports, some 40 drunken Santa Claus clones rampaged through the streets of Central Auckland last Sunday, stealing from stores and assaulting security guards. The New Zealand Herald reported that the event was designed as a protest against the commercialism of Christmas. Police said some of the red-clad Santas threw beer bottles, one jolly old elf tried to climb the mooring of a cruise ship and a security guard was punched during the fracas. One of the bearded troublemakers allegedly attacked a Christmas tree. "They came in, said 'Merry Christmas' and then helped themselves," convenience store staff member Changa Manakynda told the Herald. The event's organizer, Alex Dyer, said the event would end only when someone was arrested. The mass protest was linked to the online site www.santarchy.com, which records similar events going back 12 years. Police said attempts at identifying the criminals led to some confusion. "With a number of people dressed in the same outfit, it was difficult for any witnesses to confirm the identity of who was doing what," Senior Sergeant Matt Rogers told Reuters News Service.

100% Polyester
August 21, 2014
Very warm + lightweight
July 07, 2014
I would have given this 5 stars but there is something odd about the shoulder seams. i thought that they would soften on washing but they didn't.
June 27, 2014
Warm cozy and comfortable, ideal for cooler days or evenings. i find it a nice generous fit too with plenty of length in the sleeves and down the back if your on the tall side like me.
June 16, 2014
Comfie and warm, just a bit bulky if you are going ultralight. sleeves a little long and no way to adjust them without rolling up. it's a basic piece of kit but serves basic requirements if warmth and low cost are your priorities.
May 17, 2014
I have tried to look in store and on line for another one in a different colour . i am really happy with the fleece and it washes really well.

For more information, contact (212) 265-8070 and ask to speak with a Clinical Research Assistant. Read the full press release here:
By Dr. James W. Stark
The FDA has approved Plegridy, which is a pegylated (long-acting) formulation of Avonex. Plegridy is administered every other week, subcutaneously (instead of intramuscularly) but is otherwise similar to Avonex in terms of efficacy and side effect profile. This medication should become available to patients soon. If you would like to learn more, please bring it up with your physician at your next office visit.
Patients with multiple sclerosis can exhibit worsened symptoms for a few different reasons. As physicians, we use certain terms differently from how they are used in regular speech and this can generate some confusion. For example, we reserve the term 'relapse' for new or worsened symptoms, which are due to new inflammatory MS activity in the brain or spinal cord.
The European Commission has granted Biogen approval for their pegylated (long-acting) formulation of Avonex, called Plegridy. Plegridy has the same active ingredients as Avonex, but is administered subcutaneously (instead of intramuscularly) and every other week (instead of every week). Studies have shown equivalent efficacy in preventing MS disease activity and a similar side effect profile when compared to...
A Tip From IMSMP Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Deneb Bates: Many patients have asked "Should I decrease the dose of my Vitamin D supplement during the summer months?"
We are pleased to announce, Dr. Saud A. Sadiq, Director of the International Multiple Sclerosis Management Practice (IMSMP) and Tisch MS Research Center of New York (Tisch MSRCNY) has been elected a Fellow Member of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). This outstanding achievement recognizes the contributions Dr. Sadiq has made to the Academy and to the neurology community.
Congratulations to Dr. Saud A. Sadiq for his neurology listing in New York Magazine's Best Doctors issue 2014!
An article was recently published in the journal, Neurology, which compared the cognitive function of 20 patients with MS who smoked cannabis to 19 MS patients who did not smoke. The patients were matched for a variety of variables such as age, education level, etc… The authors found that cannabis users performed worse on a variety of cognitive tasks and there were also some differences in brain activity, as...
