Team New Zealand To Compete In Next America's Cup Without Public Funding
Team New Zealand is "set to contest the next America's Cup and look likely to do so without raiding the taxpayers' coffers -- at least for now," according to STUFF. Team NZ Chair Keith Turner said on Wednesday that the team had "reached a point where it had the confidence to mount a challenge for the 35th America's Cup." Turner said the team had "secured sufficient private and sponsorship funding to go to the next stage without needing Government funding to tide them over until bigger money deals set in next year." Team NZ Managing Dir Grant Dalton said the funding had been secured as a "result of hard work which started at the end of the last America's Cup, which was lost to Oracle." NZ Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce said that he "recently advised the board of Team NZ that the Government wanted the team to secure private funding rather than rely on a taxpayer at this time." Joyce added that Team NZ "would submit a revised sponsorship proposal" which the Government would consider "in due course" before making any decisions (STUFF, 6/25).
Franchise Notes: Atlético Announces It Will Open Football Academy In Bucharest, Romania
Atlético Madrid President Enrique Cerezo announced on Wednesday in Bucharest, Romania that the club will "open an international football school in Bucharest." It will be Atlético's first football academy in Europe and will be a joint project with local organization Regal Sport Club (EFE, 6/25). ... Spanish side Córdoba, which recently earned promoted from the second division to La Liga for next season, will "multiply its budget by five for next season." The club's '13-14 budget was approximately €9M. Córdoba President Carlos González said that his goal is to "create a solid club, with potential." To do this, González said that the club will have to "have a budget around five times greater than it was in the second division" (SPORT, 6/24). ... Victorian Football League club Bendigo will "fold at the end of the season and will not renew its licence in the VFL." The club has "made the decision that its model cannot be sustained in the current VFL climate given the rising costs to produce a competitive standalone team." After splitting with Australian Football League side Essendon at the end of '12, Bendigo "has not won a senior match" (THE AGE, 6/25).

Moves to hold terrorist suspects for up to 42 days without charge could lead to the collapse of trials and put judges and MPs at loggerheads, an all-party group of peers warns today.
The plans, which only just scraped through the Commons, are now heading for certain defeat in the Lords by an overwhelming majority. In a foretaste of the battle to come, the Lords constitution select committee protested that the proposed extension from 28 days to 42 days was "ill-advised" and a "recipe for confusion".
Ministers responded to widespread criticism of the proposals by setting up a complex system of safeguards. The Home Office is promising that any decision to hold a suspect beyond 28 days would have to be approved by parliament, as well as the courts.
But in a withering assessment of the plans, the committee said the "elaborate" decision-making process was a weakness, rather than strength, of the Counter-Terrorism Bill. It said: "It is likely to lead to high-profile litigation during a time when the response to terrorism will be a matter of high controversy."
The peers warned that it might be impossible to give MPs and peers detailed enough information about investigations without prejudicing trials. "We are concerned that parliament would be asked ... to make decisions that ... it is institutionally ill-equipped to determine," they said.
The Home Office said it will consider the committee's concerns.

Military Blogs and Media
USMS Special Feature: Homeland Security Degrees
Are you interested in the subject of homeland security ? We at USMilitaryStuff have discovered a great site that lists the different colleges that offer degrees in this fast growing field. Here's an excerpt from masterofhomelandsecurity.org :
Homeland Security is a field growing at a rapid pace that encompasses all kinds of areas of speciality such as: Computers/IT, Psychology, Criminal Justice, and Logistics. A Masters degree is one way to put yourself at the head of the pack. Learn more here.
Military Blogs
Serving veterans and their loved ones is a top priority here at USMilitaryStuff. Blogs have become an important window of communication for recent veterans returning from tours of duty. We wanted to point out a few of our favorites. Please keep in mind while they don't necessarily reflect the views of everyone at USMilitaryStuff, the blog links point to content that is raw and honest in a way the mainstream "news" can never be.
To whet your appetite, here's a funny, scathing video that deals with the disconnect between many recent veterans and the dominant perceptions of a "certain type" of college student. If you haven't seen this before, it's worth checking out! Particularly since the viewpoint behind this video sums up the spirit of many of the blog links below.
Cool Military Blog Links
This list of blog links and descriptions is indebted to Alex Horton; a wonderful writer whose blog, Army of Dude , enabled us to discover many of the blogs below.
- A long running blog written by a Korean War veteran who sports a list of achievements that read like something out of a novel. The blogger gets his nickname (pronounced boo-ham-er) from all the hunting he did while living in Alaska. But that's just the beginning; and it will make more sense when you visit the site of this prolific and inspiring blogger.
- This animated blog unflinchingly deals with the often jagged transition from military back to civilian life.
- There is something about the immediacy of Alex Horton's writing that really gets under your skin. This guy has seen mountains of you-know-what hit the fan and has lived to write about it. Blogs like this make many Hollywood depictions of war two-dimensional by comparison.
- A scholarly account and analysis of how the face of war is changing for America and the world.
- This site enables the general public to help provide the military what it needs to rehabilitate war-torn communities abroad.
- A literate and prolific blog by Greyhawk, a 24 year veteran of active duty. So much work has been put into this site; it's become more of an online publication than what we're used to thinking as a "blog."
- Another rollicking "boots on the ground" account of multiple army experiences. From Bosnia to Bagdad and beyond. This site is full of piss and vinegar.

Instruction of non-honors students inadequate
Opinion: Letters To The Editor
I'm very glad to have someone as knowledgeable as Ralph Lee making this situation public [Taking another look at the achievement gap in Oak Park, Viewpoints, Dec. 1]. In 30 years of living in Oak Park, I've frequently heard stories from young people (all white) about the mediocre education provided to non-honors students at Oak Park and River Forest High School. Among the worst is from a young woman whose only homework for several weeks of a biology class consisted of coloring pictures of the plants and animals they were studying.
With an "average" fifth grader in District 97, I am very concerned about the quality of education she will receive at OPRF.

I strongly endorse the consideration of one of our wonderful private schools as an opportunity for a great education. Though the cost of a private school education is high, the life long benefit to the child is immeasurable. Classes are smaller - students don't fall between the cracks. The culture is one in which students excel academically and are challenged to be giving, considerate members of society. All of the private schools have tuition assistance programs. Worth considering!
Achievement Gap
Posted: December 23rd, 2010 9:13 AM
Achievement Gap versus Non-honors? Diana, not sure your point, unless it was a plug for R. Lee. OPRF does not cause a gap. It begins in the grade schools in OP. There is no substitute for STRONG parental involvement. If you have that, you and your "average" 5th grader will be fine. Parents need to motivate, challenge, provide direction, ask questions, follow & lead their children. If you loose that - they tend to loose their Direction.
Very Happy OPRF Mom from River Forest

I too was told that you don't get the same quality of education in the regular classes as you do in the honors classes but that has not been the case for my daughter and her friends. She's a junior has a good mix of both Honors and regular classes and I can say with certain that she has received an excellent education in both kinds of classes. We recently received her PSAT scores and she rocked on them.
Michael Nevins from Oak Park

As the parent of a recent OPRF grad and one that is a junior, I can, fortunately, tell Ms. Sherry that what she is hearing about the non-honor's program is incorrect. My children have had classes at various levels and while it is true that, all things being equal, the students in the Honor's classes are more motivated, your 5th grader will receive a good education regardless of their level.
Dan Greenstone from Oak Park
Posted: December 15th, 2010 3:22 PM
As a teacher of of both honors and College Prep (regular) World History classes at OPRFHS, I couldn't disagree more strongly with the notion that we don't provide the most challenging and interesting curriculum possible to our non-honors students. Email me at email@example.com if you'd like to see a sampling of what we do. I suspect you'll be impressed.

This is one of my first Jordana blushes and my least favorite because it is so light in color, I have to build it up to see the warm pink/mauve hue on my skin and it gets powdery.
If you have fair to light skin give it a try.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Other, Other

bought this because the color was very similar to my favourite blush, which I'm running out of -Lancôme blush subtil in rose fresque. I'm so impressed with it, it is matte and applies so easily!! very cheap and a wonderful product. 🌸💕
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Other, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I bought this last week simply because I have an obsession with trying out every drugstore blush available. I believe K-mart is one of the only places you can find the Jordana blushes other than online. They are only $2.49 plus they were buy1get1 1/2 off (also picked up the coral beach shade). When I first saw this shade, I thought there was no way it would show up on my medium olive skin tone because it looks like a very light pink/mauve, but the fact that it is completely matte drew me in. I am so happy I decided to try it anyways because it is great. It is very pigmented and shows up well upon first application. It also lasted all day for me, when I wore it for 12 hours (paired it with Cover Girl Aquasmoothers compact foundation and my make up looked fresh all day). Very good quality especially for being so cheap.
Age: 25-29

Very beautiful blush color! Love it and will surely repurchase it. Rose silk and Rouge are my fav shades in jordana blush line!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine

DUPE ALERT: almost an exact dupe of Bare Minerals ready blush in the shade The One.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Other, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
This is a lovely, natural blush. I'm very fair skinned and this blush gives me a nice, subtle glow. The pigmentation is great and I can build up more color if I wish. The price cannot be beat.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
For reference, NC40, medium w/light olive undertones. This was my first Jordana blush after seeing it pimped on youTube, and I love it! A muted, dusty pink/rose as others have mentioned, but it looks so natural on my skin. I apply using my Elf Blush brush, and it gives the most natural, rosey color on my cheeks. A great Fall blush, and, for the price, outstanding value!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
A dreamy muted pink with a touch of lilac in it. Stays on all day with minimal fading, is decently pigmented and matte.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
Dupe Alert: This color is very similar to Illamasqua's Naked Rose blush. It is a touch cooler looking in the pan but when on the cheeks I don't see much of a difference.
It's a nice, matte, cool/neutral rosey pink color. No shimmer, which I like, and applies/blends out great. Pigmented but not too pigmented and can be easily buildable. Great shade for the cheekbones/contour.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This was my first blush from Jordana and I loved it! It's very pigmented and a little goes a long way. It's one of those color that go good with most looks, for me at least . When I apply this blush I use a fluffy brush and apply to the apples of my cheeks and it looks so good. It doesn't look cakey or super powdery and it's really cheap.

Women's Caucus at LibrePlanet Free Software Conference
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
The Free Software Foundation's Deb Nicholson sent in the LibrePlanet announcement below. Deb also points to the travel fund link and says, "We recognize that women often don't have as much access to funding and wanted to make it easy for people to help bridge the gap. Maybe we can inspire other conference organizers to try something similar!"
LibrePlanet 2010
The annual free software conference LibrePlanet is the place for the free software community – from old school hackers to brand new users – to come together and further the collective goals of the free software movement.
This year's conference features a "Women's Caucus," a day-long track focusing on finding concrete ways to increase women's participation in free software, including a panel on recruiting and retaining women, a presentation on mentoring and a workshop on how non-coders can take up critical roles in free software projects.
Full conference schedule here: http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2010/Schedule (The Caucus is on Sunday.)
LibrePlanet 2010 will feature workshops on the most widely used free software tools for working with the web, video, graphics and software development. You can learn about the latest developments in the GNU Project, free network services, digital radio, voice-over-IP, encryption, software licensing, media formats, and view the premiere of a new film on software patents.
This year's keynote speeches are from the founder of the free software movement Richard Stallman and Electronic Frontier Foundation's founder John Gilmore.

Within a few months, SARS spread worldwide, carried by unsuspecting travelers. SARS showed how quickly infection can spread in a highly mobile and interconnected world.

Question: Mark, will lifting weights stunt my growth?
Short answer to this one: Noooooo. lol
Placing a weight on your body does absolutely nothing stop the genetically pre-determined process of human growth. And remember, you're proably training 3-5 hours a week. Most of that time is actually spent resting between sets. So time under load is probably closer to 1.5 – 2 hours a week out of a total of 168 hours. Seriously, you've nothing worry about.
In fact, training with weights generates an increase in growth hormone release. So if anything, training will help you maximize that genetic potential for height. So now you know.

Couples Court: Should We Trust Our 12-Year-Old's Smartphone Usage?
Technology is a great thing … except when it's not. And sometimes, the line is a little blurry. Especially when you're talking about a young girl with a new smartphone that could expose her to a world of brand-new risky temptations.
That's what's at the heart of this week's Couples Court case.
Dear Rik and Michele:
My wife and I are at odds over how to handle our 12-year-old daughter's new smartphone.
I believe we should install software that allows us to secretly track the phone so we can see her apps and the text messages she is receiving. My wife disagrees and says we need to trust our daughter until she does something wrong. But I say it's too late by then!
My wife also thinks the tracking apps are a violation of our daughter's privacy. Again, I disagree and say it is good parenting.
Can you ask parents what they think. Who's right, me or my wife?
Tough call, jurors? Let's see how it goes in court Thursday morning.

You can use either application iPhoto or Aperture to bring photos into…the unified library.…In this case, I have a camera connected and iPhoto has detected the images on it.…If you want to follow along, you can connect your camera and have iPhoto…detect your images. Not necessary.…This is pretty self-explanatory, but some people like to go as I go.…So, we're looking at the shots here and you can see in the interface that…it's pretty simple.…We have thumbnails of the images.…
I could select a couple of them and do Import Selected, or I could import them…all and give it an event name.…That is pretty much it, that is the Import dialogue here in iPhoto.…Now, let's take a look at the Aperture.…It's a whole different ballgame.…This is an area where the two applications are very distinct.…Same camera, same files connected, whole deal here and look at this.…We have the thumbnails and then we have little check boxes.…We can turn them off and on.…

i want small paragraph on how science has been useful to us.
Science has changed the face of the world. It has, of course, given many things that benefit man. But the evils that it has showered on man wash away the advantages. It has made man depend on machines, calculators and computers. A day may come when his physical and mental faculties may grow so weak that he may not be able to lift a bag or solve a simple equation. In the field of health services, it has given us life-saving drugs. But it has also given drugs like smack and heroin. Nuclear energy created by science has been much praised but the blast in Russia has exploded the myth. Atom bombs created by scientists were thrown on Hiroshima and Nagasaki decades ago. The painful memory still lingers and millions of people are still ill.
I apparently support science.Science has made all the things possible.REALLY....without science we cannot imagine our lives.humans might have extincted long back if science had not been improved.so,i think it's not a bane for the society. There is a misconception about science ,people think that it is the science which is responsible for the explosions as well as destruction. But I think it is human brain which caused all this destruction.PEOPLE fought and had lost their lives before the improvement of science also.so, it is definetly a boon for the society
The greatest harm science has done is to the faith of man. God has become a nonentity. In the modern jungle of mental activities where would a desperate man go? Having lost faith, his intellectual activities lead him to suicide. A number of scientists meet this fate every year in India.
By This we can conclude that Science has more Boons than Banes.

The second image I received was this bird sitting on these branches, stamped in black, brown, and red on yellow cardstock. I first punched the image out with a large scallop punch. I punched what was left over of the plain cardstock with a large scallop border punch and set aside. For the main card, I chose white and glued a patterned paper to it that had a small amount of red to go with the heart on the tail of the bird. I used a coordinating paper with the left over stock and used it for the left border. I tied the to elements together with red grograin ribbon topped with a small white ribbon. I cut a small tag and stamped a Papertrey sentiment in black ink and attached it with the white ribbon. I pop dotted the main image and adhered it to the card. Since the coordinating paper didn't have any red on it, I used colored pencils to add some along with some white. I aslo added white dots to the background paper and the heart with a white marker to tie it all together. TFL!

Stamp Group Challenge
I get together with a great bunch of people every month at our LSS. In April, we all brought in a stamped image to exchange with another person. The challenge was to take it home and make a card with it for the following month. I got two images. The first was this owl that was stamped in black on white cardstock. I thought it looked like it should be in a tree so I drew this tree on brown cardstock and cut it out. I overstamped it with Hero Arts Magical Background stamp in brown ink. I punched the hole in the tree with a large oval punch. For the main card, I started with a white card that I colored with Distress ink to color the sky then overstamped it with the same Hero Arts background stamp in blue. Before gluing the tree to the card, I used black Distress ink to color the back of the punched hole where the owl sits. I punched the green leaves, with a petal punch, from green stock that I stamped with a leaf pattern. I glued these on, bending some for dimension. I colored the owl with watercolor pencils, cut it out and finished with Glossy Accents for the eyes. I cut a small tag down to size and stamped hello with a Papertrey stamp in black ink and tied it on with twine.

Microscopic diagnosis of malaria is unreliable outside specialized centers. Rapid tests have become available in recent years, but their accuracy has not been assessed systematically.
To determine the accuracy of rapid diagnostic tests for ruling out malaria in nonimmune travelers returning from malaria-endemic areas.
The authors searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CAB Health, and CINAHL (1988 to September 2004); hand-searched conference proceedings; checked reference lists; and contacted experts and manufacturers.
Diagnostic accuracy studies in nonimmune individuals with suspected malaria were included if they compared rapid tests with expert microscopic examination or polymerase chain reaction tests.
Data on study and patient characteristics and results were extracted in duplicate. The main outcome was the likelihood ratio for a negative test result (negative likelihood ratio) for Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Likelihood ratios were combined by using random-effects meta-analysis, stratified by the antigen targeted (histidine-rich protein-2 [HRP-2] or parasite lactate dehydrogenase [LDH]) and by test generation. Nomograms of post-test probabilities were constructed.
The authors included 21 studies and 5747 individuals. For P. falciparum, HRP-2–based tests were more accurate than parasite LDH–based tests: Negative likelihood ratios were 0.08 and 0.13, respectively (P = 0.019 for difference). Three-band HRP-2 tests had similar negative likelihood ratios but higher positive likelihood ratios compared with 2-band tests (34.7 vs. 98.5; P = 0.003). For P. vivax, negative likelihood ratios tended to be closer to 1.0 for HRP-2–based tests than for parasite LDH–based tests (0.24 vs. 0.13; P = 0.22), but analyses were based on a few heterogeneous studies. Negative likelihood ratios for the diagnosis of P. malariae or P. ovale were close to 1.0 for both types of tests. In febrile travelers returning from sub-Saharan Africa, the typical probability of P. falciparum malaria is estimated at 1.1% (95% CI, 0.6% to 1.9%) after a negative 3-band HRP-2 test result and 97% (CI, 92% to 99%) after a positive test result.
Few studies evaluated 3-band HRP-2 tests. The evidence is also limited for species other than P. falciparum because of the few available studies and their more heterogeneous results. Further studies are needed to determine whether the use of rapid diagnostic tests improves outcomes in returning travelers with suspected malaria.
Rapid malaria tests may be a useful diagnostic adjunct to microscopy in centers without major expertise in tropical medicine. Initial decisions on treatment initiation and choice of antimalarial drugs can be based on travel history and post-test probabilities after rapid testing. Expert microscopy is still required for species identification and confirmation.

text: The poverty cycle is perpetuated when poorer communities lack educational training, and in turn, have limited earning potential. This cycle leads to malnutrition, and social problems. Humanity First, in an effort to alleviate this crisis, has opened several vocational training centres in Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Binin, Ghana and Gambia. These centres provide basic and advanced computer training. Programs such as garment design and tailoring have also been specifically designed for women. As a result, many students have successfully found employment in their field.

Posted by theKirKas a long time MMA fan i guess im suppose to hate kimbo slice but i really dont as all. Like most ppl i was expecting another Tank Abbot but i was pleasantly suprised by seeing kimbo not afraid to go to the ground and was able to show himself as being more well-rounded than most expected. Really Kimbo's problem was that EliteXC simply placed him to high of a pedalstal to early. in short if u look at Kimbo's history, 3-1 against much more expienced fighters i might add, I believe TUF is right where Kimbo deserves to be. Is he an undiserving favorite? probably, but that doesnt mean he wont win. Yes it seems UFC is trying to pull in more ratings on this one, but im not going to hate of kimbo for taking advantage of the situation.

As Japanese citizens prepare for President Obama's trip to Hiroshima on Friday, May 27, Inland residents say they're pleased to see him visit the city devastated by an American atomic bomb in 1945.
It will be the first time a sitting U.S. president has been to Hiroshima, where White House officials say Obama will highlight the U.S. commitment to nuclear weapons security and non-proliferation.
"I think he should go and see what happened, why it happened," said Roger Marron, 96, of Riverside.
Marron was in the Navy at Pearl Harbor when Japanese planes attacked in 1941. Dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki "was the only way to get the war over," Marron said. "It was terrible, but it was the only way."
Hundreds of thousands of people died in the two cities, and radiation from the bombs affected the environment and the health of many who survived.
Hemet resident Herbert "Bill" Harrison, 94, agrees with Marron that President Harry Truman's decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the right one. And he thinks it saved his life.
Harrison was a sailor on a Navy minesweeper near Okinawa when a typhoon struck, sinking the ship. He and other crew members survived on a raft for six days before being rescued.
If the war hadn't ended when it did, Harrison said he believes his ship might have been sent as part of an invading force – and minesweepers always go in first.
"If we hadn't of dropped that bomb, I don't think I would be here today," he said.
Congressman Mark Takano, D-Riverside, had urged Obama to make Hiroshima part of his trip to Japan for an economic summit. Seeing the scene of such destruction would be an "important opportunity to reflect on the consequences of war and remind the world of what is at stake," Takano said in a statement earlier this month.
Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, wrote that Obama "will not revisit the decision to use the atomic bomb at the end of World War II," and Takano noted that visiting the bombing site would not signal "an apology on America's behalf."
Reiko Sato, a lecturer in Japanese at UC Riverside who was born in Japan, doesn't feel an apology is necessary.
"Coming to visit Hiroshima as the current president of the United States, that means a lot," she said. "It's kind of a step toward to eliminating the nuclear weapons."
Marron and Harrison said they don't believe the U.S. should apologize for the bombings, and they feel good about American-Japanese relations today.

Gait and balance disturbances are one of the most incapacitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) (Boonstra et al. 2008). They can cause falls and are therefore associated with the negative spiral of (near) falls, fear of falling, fractures, reduced mobility and social isolation; hence, having a profound negative impact on quality of life (Lin et al. 2012). Originally, symptoms of PD were ascribed to dopamine deficiency and basal ganglia dysfunction (Wu et al. 2013). However, in the last decades it has become clear that other brain structures are also involved in the pathophysiology of PD (Snijders et al. 2011; Stefani et al. 2007). An intriguing, emerging insight is that the cerebellum may be involved in the pathophysiology of PD (Wu et al. 2013). That is, the cerebellum is hyperactive in PD patients during different motor tasks (Yu et al. 2007; Hanakawa et al. 1999; del Olmo et al. 2006). However, whether cerebellar hyperactivity is pathological or compensatory and how it affects gait and balance in PD patients remain open questions. Here, the investigators aim to elucidate the role of the hyperactive cerebellum in gait dysfunction in PD patients by modulating cerebellar excitability with state-of-the-art non-invasive brain stimulation techniques and investigate the effects on gait.

Additional Information
Official title | Stimulating the Little Brain to Make Big Steps: Improving Gait in Parkinson's Disease Patients by Non-invasive Electrical Stimulation of the Cerebellum. |
Principal investigator | Amy Bastian, PT, PhD |
Description | The cerebellum plays an important role in generating well-coordinated locomotion, voluntary limb movements and eye movements (Morton et al. 2004). It is particularly important for balance and limb coordination needed to generate a stable gait pattern (Morton et al. 2006). Specific roles of the cerebellum for gait include coordinating the two legs to produce a stable rhythmic pattern, dynamic regulation of balance, and adaptation of the pattern through practice (Morton et al. 2004). Though the core deficits of PD patients are largely different than those of cerebellar patients, they do show decreased bilateral coordination (Plotnik et al. 2008) and a fundamental disturbance in stride length regulation (Morris et al. 1998) during walking. Recent work has shown that the cerebellum is hyperactive in PD patients, though it is not known whether this activity is compensatory (i.e. reduces motor impairments) or pathological (i.e. causes motor impairments). One idea is that increased cerebellar activity, affecting cerebral motor areas, compensates for the reduced drive from the basal ganglia (Wu et al. 2013). Alternatively, it is possible that cerebellar hyperactivity is pathological, as recent work suggests that cerebellar activity may be partially responsible for the generation of Parkinsonian tremor (Helmich et al. 2012). One approach to answer this question is to use non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to decrease the activity of the cerebellum in PD patients and determine if they improve or worsen their gait pattern. Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are able to alter the excitability of brain pathways. Applying these techniques over the motor cortex, improved motor function in different patient groups, including stroke and PD (Benninger et al. 2010). Only two studies have investigated the effect of modulation of cerebellar-motor cortex excitability on motor function in PD patients. That is, 1 Hz repetitive TMS (inhibitory rTMS) over the cerebellum improved gross arm movements, but worsened fine motor skills17. Furthermore, a two-week continuous theta burst stimulation TMS protocol decreased levodopa-induced dyskinesias (Koch et al. 2009). These studies only investigated the effects on the upper extremities. The cerebellum is also hyperactive during gait (Hanakawa et al. 1999; del Olmo et al. 2006), but whether modulation of cerebellar excitability can improve gait deficits in PD patients is currently unknown. Non-invasive brain stimulation can also be used to study the connection between the cerebellum and the motor cortex via using paired-pulse TMS. Specifically, cerebellar stimulation 5 ms before motor cortex stimulation leads to a reduction in the amplitude of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), a phenomenon referred to as cerebellar-brain inhibition (CBI) (Pinto et al. 2001). This measure of CBI is abnormal in PD patients—it is reduced at rest, but increases with muscle contraction (Ni et al. 2010). Gait impairments in PD are often resistant to treatment, particularly as the disease progresses. Therefore, insight in the pathophysiology of gait disturbances is essential for improving treatment options and quality of life for PD patients. This study will answer the question of whether cerebellar hyperactivity alleviates or worsens gait deficits in PD patients. If cerebellar hyperactivity in PD is compensatory, anodal (i.e. excitatory) tDCS should improve gait in PD patients, whereas cathodal (i.e. inhibitory) tDCS will make matters worse. In contrast, if cerebellar hyperactivity is pathological, cathodal tDCS will improve gait and anodal tDCS will worsen it. Hence, this study will improve the fundamental understanding of gait pathophysiology in PD patients. The investigators will focus on the aspects of gait that are particularly affected in PD and associated with fall risk, such as stride length and gait speed (Paul et al. 2013). In this way, this study may identify the cerebellum as a potential new target for treatment, opening up new possibilities improving gait and balance disturbances in PD. |

text: Andre Stead Born in Evander, 1975. Lives and works in Cape Town. Andre attended the Pro Arte School of arts in Pretoria (1989 – 1993) where he majored in painting and graphics. He flourished at art from an early age and won various merits and awards, including work being selected for the Iscor Permanent Art Collection. Andre studied in several artistic disciplines including painting, sculpture, jewellery making, graphic and packaging design. In 1994 he moved to Cape Town where he trained in metal work (forging, welding and metallurgical theory) under the direction of John Allesandri. While working at the Doyle Art Foundry (1997-1998) he became familiar with the moulding and bronze casting process. During 2001 he started to work at the Bronze Age Art Foundry where he became efficient in all the various stages of the lost-wax casting process (cire perdue) over the next few years. Within three years he becomes a partner at the Bronze Age Art Foundry (2004 – 2007) and excelled in the production and business aspects of bronze sculpture. Andre played an integral part in the arranging and execution of various art exhibitions and trade shows. He worked with renowned artists such as Maureen Quin (friend and mentor), Keith Calder, Dylan Lewis, Donald Greig and Beezy Bailey, which helped refine his technical and artistic approach. To encourage bronze sculpturing as an art form he developed a foundry sculpture course, which taught students all the various aspects of bronze sculpture production. During 2007 Andre was commissioned to create nine large bronze relief panels to be laid into marble floors of the Burj Khalifa Development in Dubai (tallest man-made structure in the world). In 2008 Stead created a series of figurative studies of the female form. In 2009 Stead showcased the Female series (realistic bronze figures) in two solo exhibitions in Cape Town and Johannesburg. During 2010 works from the female series were exhibited in various group shows in South Africa. In 2010 Stead started working on the Anamorphic series launching it with a solo exhibition in August 2011 in Franschhoek at IS ART gallery. His latest work focuses on pure form derived from the human figure and has already drawn significant attention from art dealers and collectors alike. In 2011 Stead was commissioned by Laurence Graff to create a sculptural installation, "Flight of the Swallows" for the Indochine restaurant at the Delaire Graff Wine Estate in Stellenbosch. Other projects during 2011 include the installation of the "Large Reclining Figure", a three-meter version of the anamorphic series figure. In early 2012 Stead produced the "Oxford Swallows", a smaller yet completely unique version of the stainless steel and perspex installation at Delaire. His solo exhibition, "Illumination", showcased in July 2012 at the Christopher Møller Art Gallery in Cape Town. During 2013 Stead participated in the Woordfees exhibition "Heavenly" in Stellenbosch followed by his solo exhibition "Elemental man" at the Knysna Fine art gallery. 2014 had a view large projects as well as participation in the Cape Town Art Fair and the Woordfees in Stellenbosch. During 2015 André completed a number of commissions including the life-size bronze "Amare Abbraccio". The piece was commissioned by Anuoka Haese and depicts a father and son. There were also a number of group exhibitions in 2015 and the development of a new large-scale project coming in 2016. He is currently preparing for his next large solo show due to open 27 October 2016 at the Christopher Møller art Gallery in Cape Town. Other exhibitions for 2016 include the "A certain Kind Of Madness" at the Imibala Gallery in Somerset West in February and the Cape Town Art Fair 2016.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication ( AAC) Services
Hannah's Trust have an Alternative and Augmentative ( AAC) Assessment and Outreach Centre for the south west. The term 'Alternative and Augmentative Communication' (AAC) refers to the use of various means of communication which can replace or support speech. These include a wide range of systems from complex PC based communication aids with synthesised voices (high technology aids), to simple technology aids which may contain only a few spoken messages, to books and boards, (low technology) which a person with a disability may access via a finger point or by using their eyes.
All of these methods can make a huge impact for individuals, in terms of being able to express themselves independently. AAC enables people without the use of coherent speech to express basic needs, feelings, thoughts, and ideas and to connect with others. Independent expression has many positive emotional, social and educational advantages. AAC "offers people with a wide range of impairments new aspirations, expectations and life chances" (Scope, 2008).
We are now contracted by NHS England in partnership with the Bristol Communication Aids Service (BCAS) to offer the following:
• Specialist AAC assessments helping the client to explore various communication aids.
• Flexible assessments that can be carried out by our experienced staff at Seale -Hayne/ Ivybridge or in the person's home/ education setting.
• A multi-disciplinary team of speech and Language therapists, O.T, specialist teachers, AAC technician with many years of experience and expertise in the field of AAC.
• Assessment which are carried out collaboratively with families, carers and professionals.
• A bank of AAC devices to trial.
• Bespoke training to learn about the communication aid and how to implement most effective use.
• Continued specialist outreach to support implementation of a communication aid.
• Opportunity of maintaining up to date knowledge on the latest technology via training/ communication aid roadshows.
The service is for all age groups who have a need. Presently most referrals are made by local speech and language therapists and this is a preferred route.
If you would like to find out more please email email@example.com or telephone 01752 892461.
Once you have completed the form please forward it to our partners at the Bristol Communication Aids Service at email@example.com or Bristol Centre for Enablement, Highwood Pavilions, Jupiter Road, Patchway, Bristol, BS34 5BW.
Currently funding for assessments comes from a variety of sources including education authorities, continuing health, private funding.
If the client has complex needs and requires a Specialist Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Assessment, they may fit the 'Criteria for NHS England Specialist Services' (See below for download). If you / the client, fits this criteria a referral can be made using the referral form via your local Speech and Language Therapist (See below for download).
Wheelchair mounts: 'if you/ your client uses a wheelchair and would need a communication aid mounted, please could you fill in the Wheelchair Mount Referral Form (See below for download). You can also make a referral for a communication aid to be mounted without needing a communication aid assessment'
We are working in conjunction with BCAS ( Bristol Communication Aids Service) to deliver an equitable AAC service to the south west.

Being There Review
By Eric Meyerson
In his final big role before his death, Sellers brings to life a man called Chance, a feeble-minded and quiet middle-aged gardener in a Washington, D.C. mansion he's never left. Chance's life - which consists of tending to the small garden, taking meals prepared by another servant, and watching and mimicking television - is shattered when the patron of the manse passes away and the house is sold, forcing Chance out into the harsh world he's never experienced.
Via a fortunate accident, Chance finds himself welcomed into the household of another dying tycoon (Melvyn Douglas), this one with a lovely, younger wife (Shirley Maclaine) and some serious political juice. But Chance is no day laborer here; the confused inhabitants of the estate misinterpret the simple horticultural platitudes of the well-dressed stranger as economic wisdom, and the man who comes to be known as "Chauncey Gardiner," through no determination of his own, falls upward to a position of great fame and power he doesn't understand or care about in the least. And since he's lived off the grid for his entire life, the CIA, FBI, the Washington Post, and even the President of the United States find him inscrutable, fascinating, and threatening.
While Sellers made his cinematic fame falling down staircases and engaging in zany mix-'em-ups, this massive departure is the finest performance of his career, eclipsing even his many faces in Dr. Strangelove. In Being There, Sellers creates a character that's empty, vapid, and with nothing to say, but exuding profundity, calculation, and utter Zen. It earned him his second and final Academy Award nomination for acting.
Beyond Sellers' and his supporters' excellent performances, the screenplay, the settings, and the direction are all nearly flawless. Being There does, however, require a certain suspension of belief. A "love scene" that involves MacLaine masturbating on the floor and Sellers attempting a headstand on the bed especially tests the premise of the satire, but its excruciating hilarity trumps any hairs that might be split.
Although more than 25 years old, Being There is a vital statement on our TV reality, on how we develop our heroes, and on how power perpetuates itself. And it's funny as hell.

Former Barcelona and Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o got married on Tuesday to long-term girlfriend Georgette Tra Lou in a stunning ceremony.
The 35 year-old ex-Cameroon international's wedding took place in Stezzano, Italy, as hundreds flocked to see Eto'o and his new wife outside the church.
According to reports, Eto'o and his new wife have two children and actually had been married since 2007 but were yet to hold a white wedding that come to pass this week.
