When ABC journalist Bob Woodruff was injured while reporting in Iraq in 2006, he suffered severe head injuries that caused him to lose his ability to recall and produce common words a condition called aphasia. Today, Woodruff has recovered most of his language skills thanks to intensive behavioral therapy reading and repeating words and sounds.
"The standard of care for patients with aphasia has always been and will always be speech/language therapy, but a new area is opening up that looks at what drugs can be used in combination with therapy to enhance recovery from brain damage and help the brain repair itself," said Gerry Stefanatos, D.Phil., an associate professor of communication sciences and disorders in the College of Health Professions. "We're looking at the mechanism of how this combination works it's underlying effect on patients with aphasia."
In research presented at the International Neurological Society this month, Stefanatos found that dextroamphetamine (D-AMPH), a drug commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, improved the processing of speech among those suffering from Broca's aphasia and the similar Anomic aphasia.
"Improving a patient's attention and working memory may allow them to better focus and process information during therapy sessions," said Stefanatos. "Attention is critically important for learning and relearning skills, and could be helpful in forging new neural pathways in the brain."
The National Aphasia Association estimates some one million people in the United States live with aphasia, which is caused by lesions to the language centers of the brain. These lesions are often due to stroke or brain injury, but can also be the result of a brain tumor or progressive disease such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. Types of aphasia can range from a patient having difficulty finding and producing a word to a patient having no ability at all to speak or understand language.

World Today : Concepts and Regions in Geography (3RD 07 - Old Edition)by Harm J. Deblij
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As its new, elaborated title suggests, The World Today: Concepts and Regions in Geography focuses on the geography of the world toward the close of the first decade of the twenty-first century and serves as a guide to geographic ideas and perspectives, past and present.
Authors H. J. de Blij and Peter Muller continue in their tradition of providing authoritative content, currency, and outstanding cartography in a concise, technology-rich package with the third edition of The World Today: Concepts and Regions in Geography. Thoroughly updated, the third edition includes a new, engaging and currency-driven photo program, expanded data, and a new chapter feature--What's Driving Geographic Change in the Realm.
Anyone interested in learning about geographic concepts will appreciate this concise book. The fourth edition presents authoritative content, currency, and outstanding cartography in a technology-rich package. Readers will learn about the most important concepts through a streamlined pedagogy. New coauthor Antoinette WinklerPrins also helps create a seamless integration of multimedia with traditional narrative. An engaging photo program and updated data help make The World Today an exciting book for any reader.
Building upon the strength and success of deBlij & Muller's best-selling Geography: Realms, Regions, and Concepts, this book offers all of the content that has made Regions the definitive World Regional Geography text but in a briefer, technological-rich package. At about one-half the length of most world regional texts, the text offers brief regional descriptions, applications of core concepts, and definitions to acquaint the reader with the spatial interconnections between the human and physical systems of the earth.
About the Author
Author, professor and television personality Harm de Blij (pronounced duh Blay) for seven years was the popular Geography Editor on ABC's "Good Morning America". In 1996 he joined NBC News as Geography Analyst, appearing mostly on MSNBC. His series "The Power of Place" continues to air on PBS stations.
He specializes in geopolitical and environmental issues, and has held named chairs at Georgetown University, Marshall University, and the Colorado School of Mines. Dr. de Blij currently is Distinguished Professor of Geography at Michigan State University, where he also taught throughout the decade of the 1960s. In the interim, he chaired the Geography Department at the University of Miami and served as editor at the National Geographic Society. His advocacy of Geography in the media and on the public lecture circuit has taken him to virtually all corners of the United States; his work in research, teaching, and television has spanned the globe. In 1994 National Geographic Society President Gilbert Grosvenor appointed Dr. de Blij an Honorary Life Member of the Society.
Peter O. Muller is Professor of Geography at the University of Miami. Dr. Muller is a nationally recognized expert on suburbanization in the U.S. His primary research interest involves the changing geography of employment within large U.S. metropolitan areas. Jobs are steadily suburbanizing as cities continue their restructuring. It is commonly believed that employment is heavily concentrating in suburban downtowns or "edge cities" but the evidence he has gathered so far suggests that the dispersion of commercial-office-based activity is the more important force. He therefore hypothesizes the presence of "edgeless cities." This may indicate that suburban sprawl may be as pervasive for nonresidential activities as it is for residential decentralization.

Alzheimer's disease has proven to be a difficult enemy to defeat. After all, aging is the No. 1 risk factor for the disorder, and there's no stopping that.
Most researchers believe the disease is caused by one of two proteins, one called tau, the other beta-amyloid. As we age, most scientists say, these proteins either disrupt signaling between neurons or simply kill them.
Now, a new UCLA study suggests a third possible cause: iron accumulation.
Dr. George Bartzokis, a professor of psychiatry at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA and senior author of the study, and his colleagues looked at two areas of the brain in patients with Alzheimer's. They compared the hippocampus, which is known to be damaged early in the disease, and the thalamus, an area that is generally not affected until the late stages. Using sophisticated brain-imaging techniques, they found that iron is increased in the hippocampus and is associated with tissue damage in that area. But increased iron was not found in the thalamus.
The research appears in the August edition of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
While most Alzheimer's researchers focus on the buildup of tau or beta-amyloid that results in the signature plaques associated with the disease, Bartzokis has long argued that the breakdown begins much further "upstream." The destruction of myelin, the fatty tissue that coats nerve fibers in the brain, he says, disrupts communication between neurons and promotes the buildup of the plaques. These amyloid plaques in turn destroy more and more myelin, disrupting brain signaling and leading to cell death and the classic clinical signs of Alzheimer's.
Myelin is produced by cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells, along with myelin, have the highest levels of iron of any cells in the brain, Bartzokis says, and circumstantial evidence has long supported the possibility that brain iron levels m

Couple tells police they dealt from home
Authorities found pills, pot and guns in the Silver Springs home.
Published: Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 10:34 p.m.
SILVER SPRINGS - A couple who told law enforcement officials they sell pills and pot from their Silver Springs home for extra cash were arrested Tuesday.
According to Sheriff's officials, Christopher and Shannon Farr were taken to the Marion County Jail, where they face charges of armed trafficking of Hydrocodone, drug possession and other charges.
Taken from the home - which Shannon Farr told officials was used to stash and sell the illegal products while her husband was at work - were 102 Xanax pills, 52 Hydrocodone pills, three Valium pills, about five ounces of marijuana, a 20-gauge shotgun, a 38-caliber handgun, a box of 20-gauge shotgun shells and an assortment of drug paraphernalia including plastic bags, pill bottles and a glass pipe.
Deputies say they went to 204 N.E. 169th Ave. after receiving information the Farrs were selling marijuana and prescription pills from their home.
Shannon Farr gave them permission to search the home.
Before looking around the house, Farr allowed deputies to search her and they found a bag of marijuana and Xanax pills in her right front pocket. She said the items belonged to her.
Also at the residence was Tiffany Denise Tweedy, of Ocoee, who gave deputies permission to examine her purse. Inside were Xanax pills and a straw she said is used to snort the pills. The 26-year-old said she was there to purchase pills.
Tweedy was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
While deputies were talking with the women, Christopher Farr arrived at the home and told deputies, "That's fine. I'll show you where all the dope is anyway," the report noted.
Inside a bedroom on top of a shelf was a plastic bag that contained 144 grams of marijuana packaged for distribution and a digital scale. Farr said he sells the illegal drug "to make extra money," according to the report.
Also on the shelf were prescription bottles that contained numerous Hydrocodone, Xanax and Valium pills. He said he got the pills from his father because his father cannot take them any more due to illness. Farr said he sells the pills.
The Farrs told deputies that at night they remove the drugs from the home and carry them to a shed for safe keeping. The shed, which has been converted into a living quarters, contained the guns and ammunition the couple say they used for protection while selling the drugs.
Officials also found the couple's 13-year-old son inside the shed.
The Department of Children and Families was contacted and the juvenile was placed in the care of the couple's nephew.

Robin Neill
To the editor:
I feel I must respond to the tactics used in the Independence City Council campaign. There was absolutely no reason for the venom and untruths flung about by Mr. Whiting's campaign. How does someone running for office for the first time get designated as a "career politician?" This is Mr. Whiting's second elected position.
Imagine how surprised several people named as endorsing Mr. Whiting were to read it in his mailer. Some of them purposely didn't endorse either candidate; some had already endorsed Patrick Cierpiot. This I know to be true because I confirmed it with some of them. While I concur that there was plenty of evidence of "lying," I suggest that it came from the candidate whose literature stated that he is a priesthood member. We expected better.
I am disappointed in this nasty form of politics. Stick to the issues. Don't sling mud from behind the anonymity of some "council for accountability." My name is Robin Neill, and I want to say to members of city government and campaigners alike that I am disappointed in their handling and/or ignoring of these election tactics. Citizens of Independence deserve much better.
Martin Luther King said, "Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek." Jesus said, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Our community would be a better place if we lived (and voted) by those principles.

Well, the things cost money and time to build. If we had wanted to for some reason, we could have sent the rover we sent to Mars to the Moon instead. We didn't because it would have been a waste and we wanted to send it to Mars.
Let's put it this way. Can China just whip up a Mars rover and beat us to Mars?
Well at the moment the US cannot even put a human being in low earth orbit to the ISS, whereas the Chinese are sending people into orbit and now a rover to the Moon.
By my calculations while they may not be technically ahead of the US in terms of advancements in space they sure are structurally ahead of us currently.

Floating Flower Market
23422 Views
The Singel is a canal in Amsterdam which is famous for its flower market. The market is unique, because all the merchandise is displayed on floating barges. This is a relic from the days when the flowers and plants sold at this market were shipped in by barges. Nowadays fresh flowers are still brought in every day; by vans, however, and no longer by boat.
The Flower Market of Amsterdam
The floating flower market was first held in 1862. It has since developed into the best-known flower market of Holland. Whatever your favorite flower is, you are bound to find it here. Merchandise ranges from the traditional Dutch tulips and geraniums to indoor cypresses and plants. Along this part of the Singel canal you'll also find a lot of souvenirs shops.
Visit the Floating Flower Market
You can visit the floating flower market every day of the week between 9 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. and on Sundays between 11 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. If you're visiting Amsterdam in December you'll notice that the Singel market colors green with masses of Christmas trees in all shapes and sizes.

1. The distraction
The Seahawks' offseason has been mostly free from distraction, with running back Marshawn Lynch's contract holdout providing about the only negative attention surrounding the team as they attempt to repeat. And while it may be true that all press is good press, the distraction caused by Lynch's absence could prove unwelcome to a team trying to pull off one of the hardest feats in sports.
There may be those on the team who sympathize with Lynch's beef, but they certainly won't appreciate being asked about it over and over again throughout camp. And as far as the fans are concerned, how quickly the situation resolves itself will likely go a long way toward determining how "Beast Mode" is viewed by the 12th Man moving forward.

PHOTOS/POLLS Candidate wants uniforms required at all Collier public schools
NAPLES - Breana Wielgos, 12, doesn't mind wearing her uniform to the Marco Island Charter Middle School.
"It's okay. It could be worse," said the seventh-grader, who was dressed Friday in a navy blue polo shirt, khaki skirt and sneakers. "I would like to wear different colored shirts, or shirts with designs on them."
In Collier County, 33 of the district's 51 schools require students to wear a school uniform. One Collier County School Board candidate would like to see that go from 33 to 51.
District 5 candidate Joe Whitehead, a retired Naples police detective, is campaigning on the issue of uniforms in all schools.
"Uniforms help to transform the campus environment in a positive way. When we positively change the environment we can impact education," he said.
Whitehead called uniforms a "social equalizer" that help contribute to a decrease in the number of incidents of disruption and violence while instilling pride in the students.
"Most private schools require uniforms. Most private schools have good track records regarding graduation rate, achievement and student success. Most children never attend private schools due to the costs. If we can use some of the components that private schools use, such as uniforms and better discipline, we are able to provide a better quality of learning environment to all children. This gives low- and middle-income families the opportunity to experience a campus environment for their kids that might often be only available to the wealthiest in our society," Joe Whitehead said.

This gives low- and middle-income families the opportunity to experience a campus environment for their kids that might often be only available to the wealthiest in our society," he said.
Attempts to reach Whitehead's opponent, current District 5 School Board member Roy Terry, were unsuccessful.
Currently, the Collier County School Board's policy has been that a uniform policy must come from a school's request. Before being approved for uniforms, schools must conduct surveys of parents, staff members and students to show the School Board there is a majority supporting the policy.
Golden Gate Elementary School Principal Marilou Andrews said having buy-in at the school level is essential for implementing a uniform policy.
"It works for us here," she said. "I am not sure it would work or be needed at other schools."
Andrews said every school community has a right to decide if they think anything from fashion trends to haircuts is inhibiting the quality of student learning.
When Andrews became principal at Golden Gate Elementary, she went to the School Advisory Committee to make changes to the Golden Gate dress code.
"Our dress code used to be very specific. Students had to wear light blue polos with the school logo on them. But with the state of the economy and the fact that we get so many students who transfer from other schools, we changed it to be almost any color of polo shirt and we allow students to wear navy blue bottoms," she said.
Golden Gate Elementary students must come to school in polo shirts that are solid or have a Golden Gate Elementary logo and either a skirt, walking shorts, capri pants or pants in khaki or dark blue. Students also must wear sneakers.
Andrews said students are allowed to wear polo shirts in whatever colors they want, except navy blue, red or black, which she said the school requests because of gang activity in the area that focuses on those colors.
Andrews said uniforms offer students comfort and safety. The clothes are comfortable and requiring students to wear tennis shoes helps protect their feet at recess and in gym class.
"And when you are on a field trip, it is easy to spot our kids," she said.
Students who do not comply are sent to the office where they are given clothes that comply with the uniform policy, Andrews said.
"It usually takes one time," she said. "But to be honest, we don't have a big problem. It's been ingrained in them for so long, it's not something that's questioned."
Golden Gate High School is the only high school in the district that has a specific dress code. The school's standard dress was implemented six years ago under the objective that students would "dress for success."
"Part of it is that psychological component," Principal Jose Hernandez said. "You have that added value that social competition becomes a non-issue. You can't tell a $5 polo from a $35 polo."
Unlike their counterparts in elementary and middle school, Golden Gate High School students can wear things like jeans. Hernandez said the students have also brought forward changes to the dress code in recent years, asking the School Advisory Committee to allow them to leave their shirts untucked and wearing hooded sweatshirts — as long as they keep the hood off their heads.
Hernandez said it has worked for Golden Gate.
"What you don't see here are issues where a midriff is exposed or shorts are too short. When you deal with the small stuff, the bigger things take care of themselves," he said.
But Hernandez said the dress code would only work with buy-in from staff, parents and students.
"You can create every policy in the world, but if you don't believe in its value, no one will support it," he said. "Having the buy-in is essential."
"We had some incidents where kids were being made fun of because they did not have $200 jeans," Tommie Barfield Elementary School Principal Jory Westberry said. "The uniforms eliminate the differences between the haves and the have-nots."
Tommie Barfield Elementary School Principal Jory Westberry said uniforms became the standard dress at her school about five years ago.
"We had some incidents where kids were being made fun of because they did not have $200 jeans," she said. "The uniforms eliminate the differences between the haves and the have-nots."
At Tommie Barfield, students are allowed to wear a collared shirt or their Tommie Barfield Elementary T-shirts, which may be worn on the days the students have physical education class or on Fridays.
"They can wear any color shirt they want except the colors the Charter School has," she said, referring to Marco Island Charter Middle School's choice of navy or light blue.
Students have to wear khaki, black, brown or blue pants and tennis shoes.
"We had little girls coming to school in heels ... students in flip-flops, which can be dangerous when you are in gym class or playing on the playground," she said.
Breana said she sees the value of wearing tennis shoes to class.
"People trip up the stairs anyway," she said, referring to students going upstairs at the Charter Middle School. "You shouldn't do anything to add to that."
While Westberry said the dress code has been a mostly positive addition to the school, she did say that some parents initially resisted, upset that their child's freedom to choose his or her clothes was being taken away. That said, she said parents now love the change.
"They buy four or five shirts and a couple of pairs of pants and they are done," she said. "Students do have some freedom with the dress code."

i am sad
i am sad tnjgjr2: Just a few weeks ago, a day after christmas, my wife decides to tell me she doesn't want to be married to me anymore. She says she's not in love with me and she says she's not attracted to me anymore. I am so hurt. I love my wife very much. She taught me how to feel that way. I don't understand where this is coming from. She swears there is no one else. We've been together for just under four and a half years. I am doing everything to try to keep this marriage with her. The only hope is she has agreed to counseling, however I feel she is only going just to appease me. For some reason I feel she just doesn't even want to try, but I just can't convince myself to give up. I moved out of our home because I didn't want her to have any added stress, and left her everything. I can't seem to talk to her for more than 5 minutes without breaking down. I am a complete mess. I used to be so strong, but I just am not with this. I am so scared I lost her. I don't even know why. She even tells me I did nothing wrong, and it's just her. This doesn't help. I almost feel I would accept it better if there was someone else or a reason of some sort. Just 3 months before, our careers w"ere close to separating us for a while, but she fought and convinced me it wasn't right and she said there was no way she would let that happen. I believed her. We seemed to be getting along well for the short time up to xmas. She was even asking me when we can have kids just weeks before this happenned. I really don't understand what happenned. I am very hurt, very scared, very confused, and very, very sad. How can someone love you and then just stop? How can I accept this from the woman who would always say to me "I love you" and "promise me you'll never leave me" and "what would I ever do without you" and so on?
MiamiFred: Have you been to counseling yet? If not, you must go together. It sounds like she does have some issues that she must work on. My situation is nearly identical, but it was one year ago - we went to counseling, and it helped for like 4 months - we hit a honeymoon phase. We told people we were closer than ever before. Finally, we moved to Miami and in less than 4 months she wanted out - felt it was time to be on her own. And I was a wreck at the start.
However, it will get better. I never believed it, but slowly it does. But for now, go to counseling together and see if she won't open up to you.
Was there an argument or perhaps you married young? What about kids - is that the next step and perhaps she is scared? What about your and her behavior patterns at home - argue a lot?
krunk79: Hey man, I feel for you. My story is almost identical to yours (read my old posts by looking in my profile at the bottom) right down to the kids thing. The month before she left she asked if we could start trying, and the day before she left she was talking about names for our baby.
Hang in there! It is very, very hard. And to be honest, it can get even worse before it gets better. But it WILL get better! For now, take things a minute at a time, an hour at a time, and a day at a time. Exercise, and think about what you'll do in the future. The fact that she is willing to go to counseling is a very positive sign. Go as soon as possible! My stbxw has refused any and all joint counseling, and now she is filing for divorce next week without having ever sat down with me and discussing things. I would reccomend giving your wife space outside of counseling sessions, but start going as soon as possible before she changes her mind!
We're here. Sign on to this site and post as much as you want. You're going through a very difficult time, and sometimes just sharing it with others will help.
Hang in there!
AngeleWings: I am really sorry to hear about this...it sucks. I do have some questions though, how old is she? Could she be going through Menopause? One thing I do need to say though, I find that with a lot of women, the more you cry and show her that you are really upset about this, the more women tend to be turned off. It seems to me from your story, from what I have heard so far, is that she has no idea why she is feeling this way. Thats why I ask about Menopause...it could be a possibility. People do not go from being one person to the next like this. There has to be something that happened, if it is Menopause, or something else. If she doesn't know, I can see it being a physical change. To find the problem you have to look at where this huge change came from, and how are you treating her. Has anything changed with you that may affect her and she is just to scared to say. It is hard to say, and if I was you, I would rely on myself to find out the answer instead of someone else who barely knows you telling you what to do. I hope you figure it out, you were strong once, and you CAN be strong again. My prayers are with you and your wife, I hope everything turns out for the best. ;) :)
Chase: Hi, welcome to Ojar, and I'm so sorry for what you are going through now. So much of what your wife said is almost word for word what mine has said. Only I got it about a week before christmas.
I'm glad you've found Ojar - this site has been an incredible help to me - just to stop feeling so unbelievably lonely (even with friends and relatives around the pain you are feeling is isolating isn't it, because they can't really comprehend). There are some wonderful people here, and they will give you wonderful support.
I want to echo what AngeleWings says, although I figured it out myself a little bit too late... but you need to work on getting your own self-esteem back a little (hard as it is right now) and do everything you can to avoid any appearance of neediness for her. And not just because it isn't a great look from your wifes perspective, but because (and trust me on this) it doesn't help you either - it can take the final bits of self respect away at a time when you need any you can find.
Can I tell you this tnjgjr2 - just tell yourself that your wifes feelings are hers, and she is responsible for them, and if she doesn't feel love for you, it is not because of you, it is because of her. It is so important for you not to take responsibility for your wifes feelings.
Post here often, let us know how you are feeling, and tell us if you need support, cause we'll give it.
