'Militias All Across The Nation Are Mobilizing' For Anti-Obama Rally
An organizer for Operation American Spring, a planned right-wing rally in Washington D.C. that hopes to drive President Obama out of office through a "second American Revolution," said this week that "militias all across the nation are mobilizing" to attend the May demonstration.
In an interview with conservative pundit Erik Rush this week, organizer Harry Riley said that while the militias are "not coming up there with any weapons," he believes there may be violence and "carnage" if the demonstrators don't get their way. "I fear the next step, if this doesn't happen, is going to be something that not a combat soldier wants to see," he said.
Another rally organizer, Jim Garrow, has called for a "guerrilla war" against Obama.
Rush himself advocated yesterday for a military coup against Obama.
I fought all through the Cold War and to me I've never seen a threat to the United States any greater than the internal threat that Obama and his administration and a Congress that does nothing reflect. We're in a serious, grave situation. It's a reason we're going to Washington to try, to try. I fear the next step, if this doesn't happen, is going to be something that not a combat soldier wants to see. We've been through the carnage, we've seen it, we understands what happens and that's the last thing we want.
The militias all across the nation are mobilizing. They've got rules of engagement already established, they're not coming up there with any weapons, they're not coming up there with any criminal intent or illegal lawlessness or anything else, they're just patriots, Americans who happen to belong to a militia. They're coming to voice the same thing: we want our nation back and we want our Constitution restored to where it's the law of the land, not individuals.

Global offshore market new target for supplies as Wrist continues rapid expansion
Wrist Ship Supply, one of the world's largest ship supply companies, today announced the acquisition of Strachans Ltd, the UK's leading independent food distributor to the offshore catering market. This represents Wrist's sixth deal in less than two years following acquisitions in Europe, America and Canada.
The agreement combines Strachans' specialist offshore market knowledge with Wrist's global network, worldwide infrastructure and financial strength and provides the foundation for Wrist's expansion into the global offshore oil and gas industry - a market of significant growth and opportunity. The move will also enable Wrist to grow its existing operations within the UK.
Strachans will continue to be led by James Strachan and, in conjunction with Wrist's worldwide platform, will be able to provide offshore catering organisations and their customers with a specialist global solution for the sourcing and provision of food and consumables, as well as deck and engine supplies.
Commenting on the acquisition, Robert Steen Kledal, Managing Director, Wrist Ship Supply, said:
"Strachans' specialist offshore expertise and proven track record makes it an excellent partner through which to capitalise on the opportunities of the growing offshore market for supplies."
"Fundamentally it continues Wrist's rapid growth, as we look for continued and controlled expansion, strengthening our worldwide operations and creating an unrivalled global platform for providing supplies to the shipping, offshore and related markets."
Both Wrist and Strachans have identified the growing requirement for companies that work within the offshore industry to find a competent global offering for food and consumables, as well as deck and engine supplies; a solution that is based on a real understanding of the challenges within the market, and one that maximises efficiencies and drives down costs, as well as importantly, improving the quality of supplies, which is vital for maintaining the welfare of crews and rig employees."
James Strachan, Managing Director at Strachans, part of the Wrist Group, said:
"This deal provides Strachans, its employees and customers the opportunity to be part of a thriving global operation. Combining our reputation for service excellence within the offshore market with Wrist's worldwide network makes for a compelling proposition and the chance to build a brand that is known as the global supplier of choice for the offshore market."

For Henry James, who spent most of his life there, Europe was a snake pit for naive Americans, who were prey to the intrigues of more devious cultures. His Yankees disembark fresh-scrubbed from the land of Lincoln, only to tumble into the coils of greed. Isabel Archer, the heroine of "The Portrait of a Lady,'' is one of his most loved and tragic characters; everything she does is inspired by idealism, and leads to heartbreak and ruin.
In Jane Campion's film of the James novel, we meet Isabel (Nicole Kidman) at what could have been the defining moment of her life. Orphaned in America, she visits rich English relatives and receives a proposal of marriage from Lord Warburton (Richard E. Grant). He is rich and titled, and even lives in a house with a moat. She rejects his proposal, although reassuring him that she does love moats.
Why does she turn down Warburton? Because he is too right, too safe and sure, and she seeks a spark of inspiration in her man. One of those astounded by her decision is her cousin Ralph (Martin Donovan), who also loves Isabel, but keeps that a secret because he is dying of consumption. "I shall have the pleasure,'' he muses, "of seeing what a young lady does who rejects Lord Warburton.'' It will be no pleasure.
Ralph lives with his parents, the rich Touchetts (John Gielgud and Shelley Winters). Knowing Isabel has rejected Warburton, aware of her poverty, he fears her spirit will be crushed by the hard realities of Europe. He wants her to have a chance to bloom. As his father lays dying, Ralph asks him to leave a large portion of his inheritance to the young woman. Ralph explains, "I call people rich when they are able to meet the requirements of their imagination.'' Isabel, surprised by the bequest and never suspecting its reason, embarks on the grand tour. In Rome she swims into the net of Madame Merle (Barbara Hershey), an independent woman who knows everyone and is frank about her purpose: "I don't pretend to know what people are meant for. I only know what I can do with them.'' Merle, knowing what she can do with Isabel, delivers her to the indolent expatriate artist Gilbert Osmond (John Malkovich). Osmond is a fake--a lazy fraud with more manner than means. But Isabel, who could see Lord Warburton's flaws, cannot see Gilbert's, and soon she is married. He has a daughter named Pansy; he explains vaguely that his first wife is deceased. Isabel comes to love Pansy, and soon she loves her a great deal more than Osmond.
The story leaps forward three years, to a time when Isabel and Gilbert coexist in a hateful truce. Her cousin Ralph, visiting Rome, sees through their marriage: "Weren't you meant for something better than to keep guard over the sensibilities of a sterile dilettante?'' Then the noose tightens, as Isabel discovers the exact nature of her situation.
I will not reveal more. Yet I assume that most of the people going to see this movie will have read the book, and, frankly, you can't easily understand this film if you haven't. Too much is left out, glossed over, or implied.
Why, for example, does Isabel marry Osmond? In the novel there is no mystery. He is an Artist--able to pose, at least during their courtship, as a man who lives on a higher plane. In Campion's film, Osmond is never allowed the slightest plausibility. Malkovich plays him as a snaky, sinister poseur, tobacco smoke coiling past his hooded eyes. The crucial distinction is: In the novel, Isabel marries him because she is an idealist, but in the movie because she is a masochist.
This difference is fatal to the development of the story. To Ralph, she must seem more stupid than brave. Madame Merle's manipulation becomes cynical, not simply opportunistic. Even Osmond seems more a villain here (where he is not deceived by his intentions) than in the novel (where he half-believes his lies).
"The Portrait of a Lady'' ends with a series of hammer-blows. Anyone who believes Henry James is bloodless has never really read him. Beneath his meticulous prose are lusts and fears that his characters struggle to contain within the strictures of proper society. His conclusion of this novel is one of incredible power; Isabel is a good woman who has tried to do right, and who has done wrong, wrong, wrong--wrong to Ralph's faith, wrong to Warburton's love, wrong to herself.
In the movie, it just doesn't play that way. Isabel turns too hard, in the years the film leaps over. By the time of the final revelations, she is no longer as deserving of Ralph's pity as she should be. By tilting the story at this angle, Campion and her writer, Laura Jones, are said to have brought a "feminist sensibility'' to the film. I think the James version was more truly feminist, and that this version sees Isabel more as a victim and less as a heroine gone astray.
Yet I think if you care for James, you must see it. It is not an adaptation but an interpretation. It gives us Isabel from a new angle. And it is well acted. Kidman has the bearing and quality of the intelligent young American. Barbara Hershey is magnificent as Madame Merle (who has her own heartbreak, and has worked with the means at her disposal). Martin Donovan is touching as Ralph, whose own love is bravely concealed. Only Malkovich seems wrong; we need an Osmond who seems worthier at first.
The value of Henry James is that he teaches us to consider our motives. Today we rush heedless into life. We believe in "love at first sight.'' We get our values from TV and film, where the plot exists only to hurry the characters into sex. All modern emotions can be expressed in a sound bite. James' people think before they commit. When they choose wrong, they eventually learn how, and why. Today's Isabel Archer would dump Osmond, sue for her money back and head for a spa to recuperate. I imagine James' Isabel captured forever in the loveless tomb of her own choosing.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Racing has always been at Yamahas core, and our high-performance machines and stellar race teams are a result of Yamahas ongoing commitment to the sport. Were looking forward to another exciting season in 2011.
Bill Ballance, who holds an all-time record nine GNCC championships, leads Yamahas cross-country team into the 2011 season with a slightly heavier focus on managing Ballance Racing while also continuing to race the YFZ450X at select events. Traci Cecco, the winningest women in cross country ATV racing, returns to recapture her crown after a third place overall finish in the 2010 GNCC season. Taylor Kiser, GNCCs second place overall finisher in 2010 is returning with the single goal of earning his first ever XC-1 pro class championship. Walker Fowler is looking to add a XC-2 championship to his resume in 2011.
In AMA ATV motocross racing, Thomas Brown will represent Yamaha aboard his YFZ450R. Brown, who finished sixth overall in 2010, will be looking to move up within some steep competition. In addition to Team Yamaha, Brown will receive guidance and support from Bill Ballance as the newest member of Ballance Racing.
Dustin Nelson, the four-time QuadX Series Champion, is returning to the West Coast series for 2011 with hopes of extending his dominating streak. The newly renovated series recently announced a new name, logo and schedule, which can be found at http://www.quadxseries.com/. Nelson, who recently signed Josh Row under the Nelson 94 Racing headline, is also refocusing his own efforts on the WORCS series, in which he placed fourth overall last year.

We're currently in the early stages of Senior Bowl week, with weigh-ins and a day of practice behind us. This week of practice, and the game on Saturday, allow coaches and scouts an opportunity to evaluate individual players, guys on their radars come draft day, guys trying to make a push up big boards and positional rankings for an opportunity to play in the NFL. It's not the combine, where the strongest, fastest, most athletic prospects get all the attention. It's a time for players to step up and show a team what they've got and why they deserve a paycheck. Most scouting is done during the practices, watching drills and 1-on-1's, but it will be interesting to see these players adapt to game play with new teammates and different competition. It's a bit early (but never too early) to speculate on how the Seahawks will approach the draft, come April. It's impossible to predict which players will fall or rise, which teams will reach or trade, etc., but what we can anticipate are team...

Publisher's Description
The Bait of Satan exposes one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of Godoffense. Most people who are ensnared by the bait of Satan don't even realize it. John Bevere shows you how to stay free from offense and escape the victim mentality. With nearly one million copies in print, this book includes testimonials of transformed people whose lives have been changed by the message in this book. You will find answers to tough questions like these:
· Why am I compelled to tell "my side" of the story?
· How can I fight thoughts of suspicion or distrust?
· What can I do to stop rehearsing past hurts?
· How can I regain trust after someone deeply offends me?
Author Bio
John Bevere is a best-selling author and popular conference speaker. He and his wife, Lisa, also a best-selling author, founded Messenger International in 1990. The ministry has grown into a multifaceted international outreach, including their weekly television program The Messenger, which broadcasts in 214 nations. Bevere has authored numerous books.

John hits home right where many of us live hoarding and hiding our offenses. I was challenged, convicted and educated throughout as I had to deal with my own offenses I hadn't let go of yet. This is a worthwhile read for anyone wanting to go deeper in their relationships with God and others.

But before that someone told me about some hurt I was having on someone who did something I did not deserve. I never thought my actions were prideful but I wanted my friends to know I was hurt. This friend must of really loved me cause they told me about this book and next to salvation in Jesus --I learnt the greatest lesson in my Christian walk. How to respond to offenses.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
zinesters who write and create zines about mental health, mental illness, personal struggles and work around it, advice and support, resources, and everything else around this theme.

Hey everyone!
My friend and I have started a new distro specifically about zines dealing with mental health. We are looking for submissions! Check out our manifesto here: https://www.facebook.com/GuanoDistro and contact us through there or at guano.distro[at]gmail[dot]com
She's Not a Morning Person #09
Written in November 2011, this zine chronicles my complicated relationship with my recently deceased dad. I talk about my childhood and what it was like to grow up in a chaotic, oftentimes abusive household and what it was like to grow up with an addict. There is also writing on how my relationship with my father shaped me, for both the good and the bad. The zine is raw, emotional, and extremely honest. If abuse, addiction, or grief are triggers for you, please read with care.
I love trades - especially if your zine is about mental health or cats. I'm also going to be at the LA Zine Fest next month if you're attending. Or you can buy for $3ppd.
I've written two issues of Peach, Plum, Pear. It's a perzine mostly about daily living and past experiences with depression.
I wrote these in the last few years but just wanted to say that they're now available in their entirety on my photos for anyone that's interested.
Thanks, Jenny :)
Please participate in this interconnected story I would like to tell based on my eclectic artsy friends from all over the world. Meaning you! Take pictures, share thoughts, feelings, hopes, emotions ON THE DATE OF DECEMBER 21st.
Is it the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end? Does it matter?
I will be putting together Abstract By Nature #3 - a zine anthology of all of our works.
Please send pictures, art work, poetry, short stories, sex stories, band stories, testimonials, etc.
*No longer than half of a page.
I hope to hear from you!
Call for Submissions - Violence in Our Own Communities
I'm working on a zine about addressing violence and abuse within our own communities. Here's all the info:
I am specifically looking for submissions from people who consider themselves part of punk/hardcore, activist, and/or radical communities. These "communities" may or may not be tied to specific geographic locations. I am thinking broadly when I say "violence and abuse" as possibly including emotional, physical, sexual, and/or intimate partner violence and abuse, as well as violence that is based around race, ability, class, gender, sexuality, or other factors. "Addressing" this violence might include prevention, intervention, and/or responses after the fact.
That being said, the questions are up to your own interpretation. You are invited to write as little or as much as you'd like to any or all of the questions, and to focus on a single community or whatever seems most important to you. Please think of them more as prompts and don't feel limited to "just" answering the questions.
So here are the prompts:
- Please give some background information about yourself and the communities you consider yourself to be a part of.
- What do you believe is the responsibility of your communities to address violence and abuse within them?
- How have you seen violence and abuse actually addressed within your own communities?
- How would you like to see your communities address violence and abuse within them?
- In what ways have your communities been successful in addressing violence and abuse within them?
Please let me know if/how you'd like your name included in the zine along with any contact info you'd like shared so others can reach you directly.
I'm also going to try something a little different with this. If you have contributed to the zine by Sunday, Nov. 24th, you will be able to read all of the other submissions received by then and invited to share any other thoughts/responses. I will also group submissions by location (if mentioned) to hopefully make it easier to connect to people closer to you.
You can send submissions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please get in touch with any questions and pass this on to anyone else you know who may be interested.
Thanks so much!
Different Shades of normal is now in it's first issue.
It's 50 pages long and handwritten.
Topics include: mental illness (schizophrenia), self-destruction, etc. This zine's central focus is Love-whether Loving another or relearning to Love one self again.
Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com . Love to trade :)
**(watching a woman self-destruct while doing nothing is not a revolutionary act)**
My first perzine, is finished as of two days ago! Available for trade or cost for printing/shipping cuz I'm poor! ($3 to ship to you)
This zine is a personal zine about childhood trauma, my struggles to keep myself sane in the midst of a toxic home life, and my experience with the mental health system beginning at a young age. This zine is an attempt to process these traumas and come to peace with them. Zine 1 of many.
"What it is:"
My newest (5.5" x 7.5" ) zine of short stories (some dealing with stress/mental health/identity), collages and comics.
For trade: B&W copy, 32 pages
For trades, contact me at senorita.wing(at)gmail.com
For sale ($6.50 plus $2 handling/shipping): Color copy, 32 pages
To view additional images and/or to purchase color zine, visit:
In 1986, when I was fifteen, I moved from Los Angeles to a small town in Alabama with my father, my younger brother and a friend of my dad's. Six months later, my father was in prison, my little brother was in a group home and I was in a mental hospital.
Piltdownlad #4 features a confessional narrative entitled "The Nasty Oh-Dear," which details how I ended up institutionalized and then a ward of the state of Alabama. I don't go into my time in the mental hospital (I'm saving that for another issue), focusing instead on what lead to being taken into state custody.
This issue also covers a wide range of topics related to zines, self-publishing and perzines, including a meditation on the first perzine I ever read, the pondering of truth versus fiction in the perzine, the origins of the name "piltdownlad", Dischord Records, who and what I saw at the LA Zine Fest and several pages of zine reviews.
I prefer trades, but if money is an issue, I can do paypal or etsy.
If interested, please contact me here or through my site: piltdownlad.com

Initially known for her multi-telefilm portrayal of Christy Huddleston, the young woman who accepts a teaching position in rural Cutter Gap, NC, and begins educating the ignorant locals -- a role she inherited from Kellie Martin, the star of the mid-'90s TV series -- actress Lauren Lee Smith simultaneously defied any related attempts to pigeonhole her as a family-friendly actress by branching out into much grittier and edgier material. Role choices included that of a psychic mutant in the sci-fi series Mutant X (2001-2004), a nymphomaniac in the racy Lie With Me (2005), a lesbian cook on the Showtime drama series The L Word (2004-2006), a "beat" girl in Terry Zwigoff's misanthropic comedy drama Art School Confidential (2006), and a homicidal med student in the thriller Pathology (2008). In the years to come, Smith would remain active on screen, appearing on shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Good Dog, and The Listener. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Tourette syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by motor and phonic tics. Deficient motor inhibition underlying tics is one of the main hypotheses in its pathophysiology. Therefore the question arises whether this supposed deficient motor inhibition affects also voluntary movements. Despite severe motor tics, different personalities who suffer from Tourette perform successfully as neurosurgeon, pilot or professional basketball player.
For the investigation of fine motor skills we conducted a motor performance test battery in an adult Tourette sample and an age matched group of healthy controls.
The Tourette patients showed a significant lower performance in the categories steadiness of both hands and aiming of the right hand in comparison to the healthy controls. A comparison of patients' subgroup without comorbidities or medication and healthy controls revealed a significant difference in the category steadiness of the right hand.
Our results show that steadiness and visuomotor integration of fine motor skills are altered in our adult sample but not precision and speed of movements. This alteration pattern might be the clinical vignette of complex adaptations in the excitability of the motor system on the basis of altered cortical and subcortical components. The structurally and functionally altered neuronal components could encompass orbitofrontal, ventrolateral prefrontal and parietal cortices, the anterior cingulate, amygdala, primary motor and sensorimotor areas including altered corticospinal projections, the corpus callosum and the basal ganglia.
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by motor and phonic tics. Deficient motor inhibition underlying tics is one of the main hypotheses in its pathophysiology. Therefore the question arises whether this supposed deficient motor inhibition affects also voluntary movements. The severity of tics waxes and wanes over time. Patients often report that stress and teasing by others worsen tics, whereas focused activity such as reading or voluntary motor activities such as playing basketball reduces the occurrence of tics [1-4].
TS is often accompanied by comorbidities such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression and attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) [5,6]. The cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit plays an important role in the pathophysiology of TS. Tics respond to treatment with D2-receptor blocking agents with high striatal affinity [7-9]. Therefore, the neuroanatomy of tics has received particular attention in neuroimaging research on Tourette syndrome [10,11], highlighting a network of frontal areas, basal ganglia, insula and cerebellum, compatible with the notion that TS is the result of a failure in network maturation, particularly of the fronto-striatal-thalamic-cortical loop [12-14]. Structural changes have been described in Tourette patients, such as grey matter reduction in orbitofrontal, anterior cingulate and ventrolateral prefrontal cortices [15]. Alterations in amygdala structure and its functional connectivity are also reported [16-18].
Recent imaging studies in TS report an involvement of the corticospinal tract and of the underlying white matter under the supplementary motor area, the pre- and postcentral gyrus and the ventral-posterolateral nucleus of the right thalamus [19,20]. There are reports of reduced volumes of the caudate nucleus across the life span and thinning of sensorimotor cortices in proportion to tic severity in children suffering from Tourette syndrome [21]. Hypertrophy of limbic and prefrontal cortices and a smaller corpus callosum are associated with less pronounced tics in children with TS [22,23]. For the different clinical phenotypes of Tourette syndrome (e.g. simple tics, simple and complex tics, tics and OCD) Worbe and colleagues reported cortical thinning in primary motor regions in patients with simple tics. In patients suffering from simple and complex tics the cortical thinning was spread to larger premotor, prefrontal and parietal regions, and a trend for reduced cortical thickness in the anterior cingulated cortex and hippocampal morphology was reported in patients with comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder [24].
Given the feature of tics as motor symptoms the question arises whether fine motor skills are affected in Tourette syndrome. There is a limited number of studies in children and adults to this end. In 1990 Bornstein published the results of a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery for 100 children and adolescents with Tourette syndrome [25]. T-values of the finger tapping task for the dominant and non-dominant hand were within normal limits. Performance for the grooved pegboard was normal for the dominant hand and impaired for the non-dominant hand (t=34.6). In a recent behavioural study in 11 adult Tourette patients Jonas and colleagues reported behavioural results on simple finger movements in adult Tourette patients with focus on echophenomena [4]. They described no significant difference in the reaction time of simple motor tasks between patients and a healthy controls group. However, when confronted with the task of copying a single finger movement following an incongruent biological stimulus Tourette patients showed a marked decline in performance with increased reaction times.
The clear affection of primary motor structures in recent neuroimaging studies would suggest that fine motor skills are impaired in Tourette patients [10,11,18,19,26-28]. On the other hand, clinical observations show that patients are able to suppress their tics at a certain degree of focused attention and also at some movements accomplishment, e.g. tics are often reported to be reduced in sports. Tourette patients are found among top athletes, professional piano players and neurosurgeons.
For the investigation of fine motor skills we conducted a motor performance test battery [Motorische Leistungsserie (MLS), Wiener Testsystem] in an adult Tourette sample. We aimed to address the following questions by our study:
a) Are fine motor skills in Tourette patients altered as possibly indicated by neuroimaging studies showing changes in the motor system?
b) What differences in task performance can be observed between TS patients and healthy controls?
21 adult out-patients (4 female, 17 male, aged 18–48 years, mean age 30.9 ± 10.09 SD years) fulfilling the DSM-IV-TR criteria for Tourette syndrome and an age matched group of healthy controls (n=21, 4 female, 17 male, aged 18–48 years, mean 32 ± 9.7 SD years) participated in the study. In the Tourette patients group five patients suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and two patients from attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) according to DSM-IV guidelines. 13 out of 21 patients were currently under medication. Details of medication (current and lifetime) are listed in Table 1. A subgroup of the Tourette sample consisting of patients without comorbidities and without neuropsychiatric medication (n=10, 1 female, 9 male, aged mean 32.1 +− 11.6 years) was compared to the healthy controls to control for potentially confounding factors.
The study protocol included a standardized clinical interview according to AMDP (Association for Methodology and Documentation in Psychiatry) guidelines and detailed neurological evaluation by a board certified (neurology and psychiatry) physician (I.N.), physical examination, and an assessment with the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) [29]. Psychiatric evaluation included assessment of comorbidities such as ADHD, OCD and depression according to DSM-IV-TR criteria. All patients were right handed according to the Edinburgh Handedness Test [30]. Control subjects were recruited from employees of the Research Centre Juelich and students from the RWTH Aachen University. In controls, intake of any medication, current psychiatric or neurological disorders or a history of any of them were exclusion criteria.
Clinical characteristics including Yale Global Tics Severity Scale (YGTSS), comorbidity and medication are listed in Table 1. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the RWTH Aachen University Clinic, and performed in accordance to the Declaration of Helsinki. All participants gave written informed consent.
All subjects performed the S2-subform of the motor performance test battery (i.e. Motorische Leistungsserie, Wiener Testsystem) as described by Sturm and Buessing [31]. In short, it consists of 8 subtests, 4 for each hand. On a standardized pegboard the parameters steadiness, contour copying, aiming and tapping are assessed for both hands separately. For the subtests steadiness and contour copying the pegboard is presented in an upright position, for the subtests aiming and tapping in a horizontal position. Scoring for the subtests depends on accuracy as well as on speed with the exception of the steadiness subtest. Figure 1 shows a photograph of the standardized pegboard. For the subtest steadiness the participants inserted a stick in a hole (5.8 mm diameter, 32 seconds duration, top row, second one from centre) and were required to keep it there without touching by accident the lateral wall or back wall of the hole. The number of accidental contacts and duration of contacts (sec) were measured. This task tests for arm-head-steadiness.
The subtest contour copying requires the copying of a given trace without touching the lateral or back walls of the milled out trace (please see Figure 1 third row from top). It is assumed to test for the precision of arm and hand movements.
The subtest aiming requires the volunteer to tap as fast and exact as possible along a line of 20 small circles (diameter 5 mm, distance between circles 4 mm) without touching the pegboard itself (fourth row of the pegboard in Figure 1). It assesses the coordination between eye and hand within small distances.
The subtest tapping consists of the instruction to tap on a rectangular plate (40mm one side) as fast and often as possible (quadratic area in the sixth row of the pegboard in Figure 1). It measures the wrist-finger-speed.
The timing of each subtest and measurement of the correct and incorrect contacts with the pegboard is performed via the software program of the S2 – Test by Sturm and Büssing. It runs on a standard PC which is connected to the pegboard.
Kolmogorov-Smirnov-test was performed to control for normal distribution of the data. Data of the whole Tourette sample were compared to the data of the control group by means of a Mann–Whitney-U-test since no normal distribution had been revealed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov-test. For statistical analysis a Bonferroni-Correction was performed. This conservative procedure has been chosen due to the large number of variables in a small sample size. The corrected p-level was pBonf ≤ 0.00625 because of the application of 8 subtests. YGTSS scores were correlated with the motor subtests using Pearson's correlation coefficient. For evaluation of potential confounding influences by medication and comorbidities the subsample of Tourette patients without medication and without comorbidities was compared to the control group by Mann–Whitney-U-test. Aditionally, the medicated and non medicated subsamples of the Tourette-group were compared by Mann–Whitney-U-test.
The steadiness in the whole Tourette sample was 44.2 ± 8.5 for the right hand and 41.2 ± 7 for the left hand (See Figure 2). Copy of contours was 41.5 ± 7.5 for the right hand and 49.2 ± 11.3 for the left hand. Aiming was 45.7 ± 14.3 for the right hand (See Figure 2) and 50.4 ± 11.3 for the left hand. Tapping in the Tourette sample was 54.8 ± 8.6 for the right hand and 56.8 ± 11.4 for the left hand.
The steadiness in the control group was 53.9 ± 7.8 for the right hand and 50.8 ± 8 for the left hand (See Figure 2). Copy of contours was 45.9 ± 9.2 for the right hand and 53.9 ± 12.3 for the left hand. Aiming was 59.4 ± 10.4 for the right hand (See Figure 2) and 57.9 ± 12.9 for the left hand. Tapping was 59.8 ± 10.2 for the right hand and 59.9 ± 13.5 for the left hand.
The steadiness in the Tourette subsample without comorbidity and without medication (n=10) was 42.7 ± 7.8 for the right hand and 42.1 ± 7.1 for the left hand. Contour copying was 42.9 ± 6.2 for the right hand and 53.6 ± 12.2 for the left hand. Aiming was 50.3 ± 15.6 for the right hand and 52.2 ± 12.1 for the left hand. Tapping was 57.9 ± 8.8 for the right hand and 62.4 ± 9.1 for the left hand.
After Bonferroni-correction, the performance in the subtests steadiness of the right hand (p=0.002), aiming of the right hand (p=0.002), and steadiness of the left (p=0.000) showed significant differences (pBonf ≤ 0.00625) between the patients and controls. Results are summarized in Table 2 for the whole Tourette sample versus age and sex matched controls.
There was no significant correlation between the YGTSS total score or subscales.
There was a significant difference for the item Steadiness R between the non- medicated patients without comorbidity and the healthy controls (p=0.002).
The comparison revealed no significant differences between the medicated and non-medicated subsamples.
In our sample of Tourette patients, following a conservative statistical method (Bonferroni-correction), the test battery consisting of steadiness, aiming, contour copying and tapping showed impaired motor skills in the subtest steadiness of the right hand, aiming of the right hand, and steadiness of the left hand. The analysis in the unmedicated subsample without comorbidities showed impairment in the subtest steadiness of the right hand.
The subtest steadiness requires keeping the stick very stable in a small hole without touching the inner walls. It is supposed to test for arm-head-steadiness and proved to be a very challenging task for Tourette patients. Its key characteristic is the static position and the requirement not to modify the position once taken in any way. This finding is in good agreement with work reported by Heise and colleagues on altered modulation of intracortical excitability in movement preparation in TS [1]. They investigated motorcortical excitability at rest and during the preparation of a simple motor task via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The study showed motorcortical disinhibition in TS at rest. This is in good agreement with the hypothesis from Donald Cohen stating that Tourette is due to a deficit in inhibition [32]. In our fine motor skill assessment no open motor deficit was recognized during the performance of a task such as the contour copying. This clinical observation mirror the results from Heise and colleagues, which showed that TS patients who are to perform a voluntary motor task start from an abnormally disinhibited level of short-interval intracortical inhibition early during movement preparation with subsequent modulation of the inhibitory activity input similar to healthy volunteers [1]. Thus, one could hypothesize that ongoing movements requiring continuous moving and online adaptation, e.g. contour copying or tapping, reduce the level of motor inhibition and permit in this subtest a performance within the normal range. The task steadiness however lacks this continuous moving and online adaptation of movement and therefore proved to be a harder task for Tourette patients.
The subtest aiming analyses the coordination between eye and hand when working in small distances. This is impaired in Tourette patients with insufficient control over the dominant hand. The task requires precision and speed at the same time which puts Tourette patients under high pressure. Pressure in turn is known to increase the frequency of tics [2,3,16]. This finding is also in line with prior publications. They reported impairment on Tourette patients, particularly in tasks that require visuomotor integration [33,34]. Furthermore, it was described that motor ability in Tourette patients deteriorates with increasing difficulty [4,35,36]. This is in line with our findings of the subtest aiming.
In the subtest tapping, the tested wrist-finger speed was not impaired in Tourette patients. They performed as well as controls. There was no difference in speed. Also for this subtest the adaptation of motor inhibition towards a physiological level during movements as described by Heise and colleagues provides a good model for our finding [1].
Given the four different types of motor tasks in our study the following two pathophysiological components within the motor system could be the source of the circumscribed deficits:
a) disinhibition at rest and in static tasks such as steadiness
b) deficits in visuomotor integration.
Starting from a status of disinhibition at rest, net inhibition is subsequently increased in order to achieve an adequate motor action [1]. Heise and colleagues discuss this as a compensatory mechanism where the motor cortex acts as a "relay station", i.e. increasing inhibitory activation and thereby down-regulation neuronal excitability. So by performing e.g. the task contour copying or in daily life piano playing or drippling a basket ball the abnormal high neuronal excitability at rest in Tourette patients normalizes during the movement due to the increasing inhibitory signals from the motor cortex.
Neuroimaging results point on a pathophysiological level also to an influence of the frontal cortex. The analysis of the neuronal pattern of sequential finger tapping in an video-controlled fMRI task showed different neuronal activation patterns for the same resulting behavioural performance. One main finding was that with increasing task difficulty the incluence of frontal areas increased. This would be a good explanation of why Tourette patients perform within the normal limit in the fine motor skill tasks that demand constant motor adaptation and fine-tuning, in opposite to the task steadiness, in which no change in movement is required and therefore no change in the excitability of the system is demanded, as described by Heise and colleagues.
In our Tourette sample there was no correlation between the YGTSS subscores and the fine motor control. Thus, patients with a medium and a high tic score showed comparably fine motor skills. Therefore, an additional factor is assumed that is not mirrored by the YGTSS score and has a significant influence on motor performance. We hypothesize that this could be the degree to which patients are able to suppress their tics and to what degree focused attention decreases tic frequency. During the test battery, Tourette patients were focused on the tasks set and not distracted by other factors. On a pathophysiological level this would imply that via prefrontal input in the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit voluntary movements are modified. In an fMRI study investigating suppression of tics, Peterson and colleagues described recruitment of prefrontal areas and the anterior cingulate [26]. Kawohl and colleagues described activation in the anterior cingulate for tic suppression in a single-case study [37]. However, the different pathomechanisms compensate only partially since Tourette patients show clear deficits.
Another interesting point is the well-described abnormality of the structure and motor function of corpus callosum in Tourette patients [38]. The corpus callosum is a structure essential for bimanual coordination and unimanual lateralization, and both functions appeared to be impaired in Tourette patients [39]. These alterations found in Tourette patients, resulting from anomalous functional interhemispheric connectivity, might be reflected by the abnormality of the subtests steadiness bilaterally and aiming of the right hand.
Bloch and colleagues reported in a sample of children with TS a predictive role of the motor deficits with regard to glocal social functioning and tic severity (34). They investigated a cohort of 32 children twice, once 8–14 years old and a second time in average 7.5 years later. In this cohort poor performance with the dominant hand on the Purdue Pegboard test was associated with worse adulthood tic severity. Negative results of the Beery Visual-Motor Integration test and the Purdue Pegboard test also predicted worse adulthood gobal functioning (Bloch et al. 2006 (is listed already as reference 34). Our sample differs in two important aspects from Bloch's cohort. One point is that we investigated adult Tourette patients and the other that we performed the study at one time point. However, our adult Tourette patients – so Tourette patients in whom tics persisted over childhood - present fine motor skill deficits. In this regard our data are complementary to Bloch's. From a clinical perspective the finding that fine motor skills are task-dependent might help in counselling patients and their families with regard to professional choices.
Out of our findings arise further questions for future studies and point to limitations in our current study. Noteworthy is that in the subsample without medication and comorbidities only steadiness right –dominant hand in all patients– was significantly impaired in comparison to healthy controls. In the whole group steadiness right and left and aiming right was impaired. This on one hand underlines the robustness of the finding steadiness right, and on the other hand raises the question about lateralization of movement impairment in Tourette patients. On the basis of the well described alterations in the corpus callosum in children and adults [19,21,23], the sample size needs to be further increased and bimanual tasks needs to be added to the MLS test battery to disentangle possible lateralization effects from insufficient statistical power. Also, a longitudinal design with assessment before and on medication would shed light on the role of medication on the excitability of the motor system in Tourette and hence the fine motor skills [40]. Whether and to what degree comorbidities influence fine motor skills in Tourette would also require a larger sample, however the impaired steadiness on the right side seems to be a robust finding. One could also consider video-tapeing of the patients during the motor assessment as e.g. Jonas and colleagues did in their sample [4]. The positive aspect would be to analyse possible effects of tics and tic suppression on the movement performance, the negative aspect could be to increase the pressure on the patients which in turn might modify the results due to a possible increased tic frequency under additional pressure through the video-taping.
In summary, our results show that steadiness and visuomotor integration of fine motor skills are altered in our adult sample but not precision and speed of movements. This alteration pattern might be the clinical vignette of complex changes and adaptations in the excitability of the motor system in Tourette syndrome. The motor output underlies complex interactions from cortical and subcortical structures which are known to be structurally and functionally altered in Tourette. Based on neuroimaging studies, the potentially underlying neuronal network encompasses the orbitofrontal and ventrolateral prefrontal cortices, parietal cortices, the anterior cingulate, the amygdala, primary motor and sensorimotor areas and their altered corticospinal projections, the corpus callosum and the basal ganglia [15,17,19,20,24,38,39,41-43].

Synergy Pharmaceuticals completed a financing in which it raised gross proceeds of approximately $5.648 million. The proceeds will be used for working capital, to advance clinical development of lead candidate plecanatide, and to bring SP-333 into the clinic.
The financing took place through the sale of 2,657,882 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant. The warrants have a purchase price of $2.125 per unit. They are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and are exercisable for five years.
On October 24, Synergy reported that it had initiated dosing of patients in a Phase II/III trial of plecanatide to treat chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). The drug has also completed a Phase I study in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation.
Plecanatide is a member of a new class of essentially nonsystemic drugs called guanylate cyclase C (GC-C). It is a synthetic analog of uroguanylin, a natriuretic hormone that regulates ion and fluid transport in the GI tract. Orally administered plecanatide binds to and activates GC-C receptors expressed on epithelial cells lining the GI mucosa. This activates the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and leads to augmented flow of chloride and water into the lumen of the gut.
Activation of the GC-C receptor pathway is believed to facilitate bowel movement as well as produce other beneficial physiological responses including improvement in abdominal pain and inflammation. In animal models, oral administration of plecanatide promotes intestinal secretion and also ameliorates GI inflammation.
SP-333 is a second-generation GC-C agonist with the potential to treat gastrointestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis. Synergy plans to file an IND application in the first half of 2012. SP-333 will be the second drug from Synergy's portfolio of GC-C agonists to enter the clinic.
"SP-333, to our knowledge, represents the most stable GC-C agonist ever developed," states Gary S. Jacob, Ph.D., president and CEO of Synergy Pharmaceuticals. "The stability of SP-333 to proteolytic degradation in simulated intestinal fluid suggests it to be an ideal GC-C agonist for exploring this class of drugs to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis."
SP-333 also is a synthetic analog of uroguanylin. Deficiency of this hormone is predicted to be one of the primary reasons for the formation of polyps that can lead to colon cancer as well as debilitating and difficult-to-treat GI inflammatory disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease.
Orally administered SP-333 binds to and activates GC-C expressed on epithelial cells lining the GI mucosa, producing anti-inflammatory activity. In animal models, oral administration of SP-333 ameliorates GI inflammation by suppressing production of certain pro-inflammatory cytokines.

IFAC, MOSAIC and Strengthening Public Accountancy
Posted by Alan Edwards[1]
Collaboration between the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and various donors that operate under the name MOSAIC is quietly making a big impact on the global accountancy profession, and public financial management (PFM) more broadly. In 2013, MOSAIC issued the innocuous sounding Professional Accountancy Organization (PAO) Global Development Report which launched a program of capacity building for public accountants around the world. In a related initiative, IFAC and one of the MOSAIC partners, the UK's Department for International Development (DFID), formed a partnership to invest in the capacity of PAOs in countries that are focal points of UK's development assistance.
The initial emphasis of the IFAC-DFID programme is on three African countries - Ghana, Uganda and Rwanda. Four accountancy organizations in the UK[2] were selected to partner with the PAOs in these countries - ICAEW for Ghana, ACCA for Rwanda, and ICAS and CIPFA in partnership for Uganda. Tailored terms of reference were developed for each country depending upon their needs. In Uganda, for example, CIPFA is developing a roadmap to assist the national PAO in strengthening public sector accountancy. This work should be completed by December 2016.

Social media is great, however…do you think it EVER totally replace face to face networking opportunities!?? As the NetworkingDiva…I think not!
Hey, Monica! As I emphasized during my video webinar, effective social media is not about replacing face-to-face networking opportunities, but ENHANCING personal interactions, in order to achieve better results and more productivity for everyone in your network. I shared some examples in this post I wrote for OPEN Forum a couple of years ago, "Using Social Media to Make The Most of Business Networking Events": https://www.openforum.com/articles/using-social-media-to-make-the-most-of-business-networking-events/

I thought it was a cool marketing strategy to get us to keep coming back to the site. At any rate, I can't wait for the do's and don'ts on using social media. I don't feel confident with my current strategy.
Greetings! When will the last course be posted? Have winners been notified yet? Thanks!
OUTSTANDING! You have provided so much information in such a short time. I feel much more confident moving forward.
Thank you!
