ODEP Launches Media Campaign Encouraging Youth with Disabilities to Pursue Career Goals
January 9, 2013
Source: ODEP Launches Media Campaign Encouraging Youth with Disabilities to Pursue Career Goals
To help millions of people recognize what they can do to make a difference in the lives and future careers of young people with disabilities, the U.S. Department of Labor's Campaign for Disability Employment has released a new video public service announcement (PSA) titled "Because." The PSA features real people with disabilities not actors who are pursuing and realizing their goals and passions as a result of the support they received from everyday people in their lives. Because nearly 1 out of 5 Americans has a disability, the PSA is intended to replace myths and misperceptions about disability employment with new views of what people with disabilities can do.
"Many people who achieve success and have found satisfaction in their careers have done so because one person believed in them and urged them to set their expectations high," said Kathy Martinez, assistant secretary of labor for disability employment policy. "This PSA challenges viewers to rethink their ideas about what people with disabilities can achieve and consider what they might do to encourage young people with disabilities to pursue their personal and career goals."
The PSA is being distributed to more than 1,400 television, including cable, English- and Spanish-language stations.
"Because" is the latest product of the Campaign for Disability Employment a unique collaboration of leading business and disability organizations with the Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy that promotes the hiring, retention and advancement of people with disabilities. Campaign members include the American Association of People with Disabilities, the Job Accommodation Network, the National Business and Disability Council, the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, the Society for Human Resource Management, Special Olympics and the U.S. Business Leadership Network.

New Years Eve, 2012. Cape Town.
Last night, we did an early dinner at Harbour House at the Waterfront. The setting is superb & the food is excellent. Between us we had sushi, tiger prawns & rack of lamb, all so tasty. After the meal, we watched the movie End of Watch with Jake Gyllenhall. It was very good but so violent & left me feeling upset...the cruelty of the Cartels operating in South Side LA etc was unbelievable & terrifying. I tell you, if I was living in LA, the good areas, & had that level of gangsterism & madness seething a few km's away, I'd leave the city. Anyway, after the film, we hoped to grab coffee somewhere & hang out until the fireworks display but things didn't quite go to plan. There were thousands of people cramming the Waterfront by the time we left the movie house- we could hardly move- so we opted to head home & Paul took Luke back at 11:30 to watch the fireworks & then collect Son no 2 who'd been at the Waterfront with friends. Also, last night we had gale force winds hammering the city & waterfront so it was just unpleasant all round. I slept through the midnight moment!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE- may 2013 bring you astonishing good health, inner peace & much joy !

BRUSSELS — The European Union on Friday condemned Venezuela's decision to order Spain's ambassador out of the country in response to the EU slapping sanctions on seven senior Venezuelan officials.
The Spanish government, meanwhile, announced it was expelling the Venezuelan ambassador in a tit-for-tat move.
European Commission spokeswoman Catherine Ray said the decision to impose travel bans and asset freezes on the seven Venezuelan officials accused of human rights abuses or breaching the rule of law was made unanimously the EU's 28 member countries.
The EU is in "full solidarity with Spain," Ray said.
In response, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro called his country's ambassador to Spain, Mario Isea, back to Caracas for consultation.
Spanish government spokesman Inigo Mendez de Vigo told reporters after the weekly Cabinet meeting Friday that Isea was being expelled "in a strict application of the rule of reciprocity."
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza tweeted that "we won't accept aggressions from governments subordinated to U.S. imperialism."
French President Emmanuel Macron said Friday he was "rather favorable" to increasing European sanctions on Venezuela.
Speaking after a meeting with Argentina's president in Paris, Macron denounced what he called "a new shift toward more authoritarianism" from the Venezuelan regime.

LaComtesse takes the cake today (sorry, I wish it was actual cake but it is not) with this comment about J and Bey's baby troubles:
I am going to go the book route as well, but I will do a 4-part, non-porny series called "Fifty Shades of Blue." Of course, I will use Roman numerals, so the ultimate tome will be "Fifty Shades of Blue IV."
I am also thinking about branding Blue Ivy tissues that Bey and J can dab their eyes with over not getting to trademark their kid's lame name.

The Omaha business community including ConAgra Foods, First National Bank of Omaha, Mutual of Omaha, Omaha Steaks and Union Pacific, have pledged to donate to Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning's "Peyback Foundation" – a combined $500 from this collective of companies – every time the standout QB says "Omaha" during Sunday's playoff game against the New England Patriots.
Last Sunday during the AFC Divisional Manning shouted the word "Omaha" on at least 40 plays, inspiring the Omaha business community to come up with their idea to help his charity.
"Omaha is a city filled with philanthropic MVPs. It's no surprise our business leaders would take this ball and run with it. We're pulling for a lot of Manning snaps on Sunday, a lot of 'Omahas,' and a lot of money for the kids helped by his foundation," said David G. Brown, president and CEO of the Greater Omaha Chamber.
Brown and Omaha Steaks leaders will be featured in a segment about Manning and the Omaha "shout-outs" on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19. The Broncos and the Patriots kick off three hours later on CBS.

It's been a few days now since my last post and we have just finished day 10 of operation wet pants. Urgh! It's tiring and I have felt like a prisoner to the potty doing the cold turkey method…. Removing nappies and just going for it, but I think it's paying off now. There's been a few highs, and many lows!!!! Sitting in the booster seat at the dinner table and re-creating the angel falls was a good one, as were the parcels on the floor as the bath is running. Honestly…. It seems that the second I take my eyes off the ball, a calamity happens! Take today…. It took me moments to squeeze a tea bag out of the cup and in that space…. Houston…. We have wet pants!!!!! You've got to laugh… Although I have to say, I am a very, very patient person on the whole and generally have never been frustrated with little b before, but my word! I've felt frustration like you wouldn't believe! It's when you think it's all going so well and it's beginning to click and then you go backwards. For example, I have taken to playing peppa pig on my phone to b when she is sitting, trying to wee. We must have watched three episodes and two minutes after standing up….. Hello fountain!!!!!!! Oh well…. On the plus side, whilst she is still improving on going to the potty and communicating the need, she now can hold it well in between. Generally 2 hours and once 3! If I just keep saying…. 'no wet pants' she seems to understand and it means I can start to try to go out and about. Today, she managed a car journey to the town 5 miles away, a shopping trip and the journey home. What a little star and then did a little tiddle in the potty when I got back. She's doing well on the whole.
We've both been ill this week so poor little mite has had a lot on her plate. I've relaxed during sleep times by playing with my leaves! They've been waiting for me and so I laid them all out on this cushion and got cracking.
The result…. My lovely, leafy Autumn garland.
I'm very happy with it….
And little b was thrilled when she saw it.
She's really good with knowing her colours now and enjoyed naming them all….
And we've been collecting real leaves today, so it seemed to have some relevance to her.
M simply looked up…. And sighed!!! Ha ha….
These are b's favourite healthy treats at the minute…. Apple crispy slices. Mmm they are yummy and offer a good potty incentive! I know you can buy these type of things, but the sulphuric additives are not to my liking so I've made them and in my opinion, mine are nicer!
Simply slice your apple across the core in thin slices. Now I don't own an apple corer, so I use this….
A wine bottle top. It's just the job!!
Lay them out on some brown paper
And sprinkle with your choice of sugar and spices. I use golden caster sugar and cinnamon. Delicious! The whole house smells amazing whilst they are cooking. Put them in a warm oven on a low heat… I put them in on 120. Now they take a good couple of hours and you need to turn them over after an hour.
But they are well worth the wait.
I put a few grains of rice in the jar to absorb any moisture. Now…. The paper you lay them on…. Don't throw it away, or the left over sugar and spice. Roll it up, put it all in a jar and use it again for the next batch. I've used mine 4 times now!
Well…. Almost time for bedtime snuggles and stories, so I better be off. See you soon xxxxxxxw

She was a tiny girl, playing by herself in a wide, grassy yard. The older children had gone to school, but she, too young for that, was busying herself with putting in order a playhouse in an arbor—arranging it as nearly as possible as it had been the day before, when she and two or three little mates had enjoyed such a merry time there. To and fro trudged the tireless feet, patiently the small hands worked, and at last all was complete. Then the young worker looked about her, and slowly a shadow of disappointment crept over the face that had been so eager. Something was lacking. Everything was in the remembered order, but it did not seem the same. She studied it for a minute or two, then walked away and sat down on a sunny doorstep. The mother found her there a little later, a listless, quiet little figure.
"Are you tired of your playhouse already, dear?" she asked.
The childish eyes were uplifted with a look of wistful wonder in them, and the answer came slowly.
"I can't do it—I can't make yesterday over again."
[Illustration: "I can't make yesterday over again."]
It was the hopeless task that in one form or another we all undertake, and with which many darken their whole lives because they will not learn that it is an impossible one. Yesterday's roses died with the day, yesterday's manna was only for yesterday's need, but there are new flowers and new food for to-day from the same gracious hand that bestowed the other, if only we will go cheerfully and trustingly forward. The treasures and pleasures we have had are for memory and thanksgiving, but the moment we sit down beside them to grieve or to try to reconstruct them out of their ruins we have changed them from a blessing to a hindrance. We cannot make yesterday over again.

Meg had been playing in the garden all the morning, and when mama called her in she had earth on her hands, and smuts on her face, and she looked such a grubby little thing.
Mama smiled. "You have been having a good time, Meg," she said.
And she put a tin bason with some soap and warm water in it on a chair where Meg could reach.
"Now, then, wash your hands and face, dear. Dada will soon be in for dinner."
But Meg pouted. "I don't want to wash," she said. "I am not dirty."
Mama waited a little, but when she saw that Meg did not begin to wash, she said, quite gravely:
"You cannot sit at the table, as you are, dear. If you do not wash, then you must go without your dinner."
Meg stood a minute, then, as she saw that mama was quite firm, she put her hands into the water and began to wash and scrub them.

The Only Product that Removes All Types of Hum in Live Sound & Pro-Audio Gear is now available with a Phase Switch and Total Ground Lift Switch -In the same form factor! This amazing feature set gives the ability to troubleshoot and repair on the spot without even disconnecting the unit, letting your show go on uninterrupted!
The IL-19-PRS-GLS is the only Bi-Directional XLR device with Phase and Ground Lift Switches -Designed to plug directly into your equipment's Inputs -or- Outputs!
Designed as a hum eliminating multi-tool, the Sescom IL-19-PRS-GLS with its Phase and Ground Lift Switch is the Industry Standard for instantly troubleshooting and simultaneously repairing audio hum and noise problems in live sound.
Sescom transformers are specifically engineered for flatter and broader frequency response allowing a hotter signal throughput without saturation. Sescom transformers also provide superior protection against radiated noise thus reducing pickup of hum and interference from outside sources such as power supplies. The IL-19-PRS-GLS keeps unwanted signals out of the circuit, but also reduces induced noise providing high-quality line level isolation to eliminate hum and buzz from interacting gear.
Provides Instant Relief For:
In-line XLR Male to XLR Female Matching Transformer built into a high impact ABS thermoplastic housing.with a Phase Switch and Ground Lift Switch. Features you wanted now at your fingertips by Sescom!
Activation of the IL-19-PRS-GLS is very simple and easy as follows: When the switch toggles are switched toward the female or input side of the unit there is no change and the unit functions straight through exactly like a regular IL-19. When the switch toggles are switched over so that the toggle is toward the male end and also toward the switch labels "GSL"/ "PRS" then they are active. The GLS switch is the Ground Lift Switch and when the toggle is over towards the male or output of the device the ground is lifted with no ground connection to the male connector. The PRS is the Phase Reverse Switch and when the toggle is toward the male or output end of the device the phases are then reversed. In this way the SES-PRS-GLS can be used to isolate and diagnose audio problems as a troubleshooting device, and ultimately be left right where it is, inline, letting the show go on, uninterrupted!

After my outstanding experience with Dior's Extase I thought I'd move right onto another Dior mascara, ready to be wowed again! Could any mascara live up to Extase, though?
The plastic wand definitely helps keep the lashes separate and clump free. It adds the tiniest amount of volume and a decent amount of length. It is build able to the point where you can get fairly decent results by adding a few extra coats. It's nothing super impressive, but it's nice enough and very work appropriate.
All in all, it gives a decent look, but with the constant smudging I will not be purchasing this again and I certainly can't recommend it. Dior's Extase mascara however, is a direction I'd gladly point you in if your in the market for a new high-end mascara!

Historic Isle of Hope United Methodist Church rang with cheers Saturday afternoon as three teenagers stood at the front of the sanctuary at the conclusion of a ceremony which placed them in scouting's most exclusive nest, the Eagle Scouts.
"They're part of my family," Troop 56 Scoutmaster Mark West said of James Raines, Matthew Hadwin and Zachary Watts, the three young men who earned the prestigious rank after completing a long list of requirements.
Only about four percent of those who enter scouting during any year eventually make it to Eagle Scout, said West.
One of the biggest challenges occurs when scouts turn 15, said West. "For many of them, that's when we say they've gotten 'the fumes,' either perfume or gas fumes," he smiled.
Raines, Hadwin and Watts dodged that obstacle, and then later earned the necessary 21 merit badges, and completed a service project, but they readily admitted it wasn't easy.
The toughest part for Raines, he said, was finishing his project, refurbishing a gazebo at Hospice Savannah and adding a brick walkway to it.
With all his scouting obligations completed, the 18-year-old Raines is turning his attention to joining the Air National Guard. The Guard offers him job security, along with excellent benefits, said Raines.
Also 18, Hadwin said that he will begin his freshman year at Armstrong Atlantic State University in a couple of weeks. The hardest part of the Eagle Scout process for him, he said, was the board of review, a one-shot appearance which could have derailed his entire application.
Watts is about to enter his senior year at Bethesda Academy. He's thinking about attending AASU or Georgia Southern University, and studying either psychology or radiology.
Becoming an Eagle Scout, he said, will work to his advantage when he applies to college, or if he joins the military.
For West, who has now successfully shepherded 18 young men through the Eagle Scout process, Raines, Hadwin and Watts will remain close to his heart, no matter where they go.
"My door will always be open to them," said the scoutmaster.
Breakout #1
Meritorious history
The Isle of Hope Methodist Church has been home to Boy Scout Troop 46 for more than 70 years.
A pair of plaques in the church's hallway lists 44 Eagle Scouts who have earned that status while members of Troop 46.
The first was awarded in 1939, and with the addition of James Raines, Matthew Hadwin and Zachary Watts, the list will grow to 47 names.

Home > About Us > News & Media Center > Cardiovascular Institute Launched
Published on April 09, 2003
Takoma Park, MD - Washington Adventist Hospital has launched the CardioVascular Institute to create an enhanced identity for the extensive, leading-edge cardiology services offered by the hospital.
Washington Adventist Hospital offers the full spectrum of cardiology services including open-heart surgery, angioplasty, cardiac rehabilitation, clinical research, diagnostic testing and prevention-oriented, community outreach programs. All of these services are coordinated through the CardioVascular Institute.
The hospital performs nearly 800 open-heart surgeries and nearly 6,500 interventional cardiology procedures annually, and has been a leading regional provider of cardiology services for more than 30 years.
"The creation of the CardioVascular Institute at Washington Adventist Hospital is a recognition of the extensive experience and the full spectrum of cardiology services we offer for the community," said Ken Bauer, President of Washington Adventist Hospital. "We recognize, however, that the success of our program rests not with the name but with the individual care we provide for each patient everyday."
Washington Adventist Hospital is consistently at the forefront of new treatment techniques in the field of cardiology. Recently, Washington Adventist Hospital was the first hospital in the Washington DC area to perform a new procedure designed to clear completely block arteries.
Some heart disease patients experience chronic total occlusion (CTO), a potentially disabling condition in which one or more of the coronary arteries is blocked 100 percent. In the past, surgery was the best option for restoring normal blood flow to the heart. Now, doctors are often able to use a specially designed device at the tip of a catheter to break through the blockage without resorting to surgery.
"Advancing new treatment options is one example of how we are working to provide the best possible cardiac care for patients in our community," said hospital President Ken Bauer.
Washington Adventist Hospital is a 322-bed hospital which, in addition to cardiology services, offers neurosurgery, radiation oncology, mental health services, maternity care, emergency medicine and many other services. The hospital employs approximately 1,700 health care professionals and is part of the Adventist HealthCare network of services.

Sorry is the easiest word for disgraced officials, but grovelling won't be enough for G4S
Mea Culpa: G4S chief executive Nick Buckles apologised before the Home Affairs Select Committee
Nick Buckles has said sorry for the failure of his company G4S to fulfil its contract to provide security guards for the Olympics. He thinks that's enough.
It isn't, but it seems he doesn't have any friends, colleagues or advisers prepared to tell him why.
Mr Buckles is clearly someone accustomed to paying high prices. You can tell from his haircut, because hair that bad doesn't come cheap. I am prepared to bet that he will have hired the most expensive crisis management PR firm it is possible to find.
They will have
told him the same things PRs always tell bosses whose supreme executive
skills have, for reasons that are beyond their control, led them into
getting the wrong kind of headlines.
The PR line dates from 2008, when the then children's services director of Haringey council, Sharon Shoesmith, went on the television to explain the death of a 17-month-old boy, then known only as Baby P.
It was, Ms Shoesmith said, nothing to do with her. She and her social workers had been brilliant, and she showed how with the help of diagrams.
Ms Shoesmith's flipcharts went down in medialand legend. Her performance was such that the next morning usually hard-boiled women were still bursting into tears over their office computers.
Shoesmith later won an unfair dismissal case in the Appeal Court. She never understood why the minister concerned, Ed Balls, had to have her sacked no matter what the legal difficulties of getting rid of embarrassing employees in the public sector.
More from Steve Doughty for the Daily Mail...
- Secret court jails gran who hugged her granddaughter: Pensioner sentenced to three months after disobeying order she should not see the teenager 09/06/14
- Ministers reject food banks' 20million meals figure: Charities in row with Government after it emerges half of meals are handed out to good causes such as lunch clubs 08/06/14

- The 'have it all' generation of women may have to learn how to die like men 30/08/12
- Harry needs to learn some discretion: At his age he should be too old for adventures this stupid 23/08/12
So now, you watch whenever a social work chief has to explain the death of a child who was in their care. Sorry, they will say. Sorry, sorry, sorry. And more sorry.
This is what the oily PRs they have hired at council taxpayers' expense will have told them to say. Perhaps they even mean it. Nothing will change, of course. Nobody will be sacked, except possibly the lowest-paid unfortunate at the bottom of the town hall food chain. Reports will be written, recommendations will be made, procedures will be improved, and everybody back on the bus until the next time.
The technique has spread throughout the state machine. When an inquest detailed how 22-year-old Kane Gorny died of dehydration at St George's hospital in Tooting, a day after dialling 999 and asking police to get him a drink of water, the hospital said sorry. It 'apologised unreservedly to his family.'
They have been at it for the best part of a week. Here is the latest letter from Miles Scott, chief executive of the St George's Healthcare NHS Trust:
'I would like to repeat the Trust's profound regret at the death of Kane Gorny. We failed to care for him as we should have and we have apologised unreservedly to his family for the grief this caused. We fully accept the coroner's verdict.'
You can't say fairer than that, can you? What else do you expect? Time to move on so St George's can continue undisturbed to 'provide safe, high quality healthcare to over one million patients,' as Mr Scott puts it.
St George's Hospital said it 'apologised unreservedly' for the death of Kane Gorny, who died of dehydration while a patient there
The City has learned that sorry is the easiest word and people who once thought they were masters of the universe no longer shrink from it.
Bob Diamond thought it would get him off the hook when Barclays was caught fixing the Libor rate. When the news broke he said the manipulation was 'wholly inappropriate' and 'wrong'. The matter was the fault of a small number of bad apples, and was being put right.
That was probably about as far as the ruler of an organisation like Barclays thought he would have to go, but unfortunately there were still critics who wanted to hear the 'S' word.
So, the following week, Banking Bob explained: 'No one is more sorry, disappointed and angry about these events than I am.'
Only, something has gone wrong with the S-plan. It turned out that the Bob Diamonds of this world are not as popular with the general public as their hired help tells them they are, and especially not when they have daughters unable to resist giving everybody a glimpse of the kind of private lives they lead.
Bob went, with no more than measly £2 million pay-off and a handful of shares. That wouldn't keep Nell in outfits for long.
Daddy's girl: Bob Diamond's attempt at a dignified departure was rather marred by the Twitter rants of his daughter Nell Diamond
No-one seems to have told Nick Buckles about this.
The first sorries and disappointeds came out on the day we heard that the Olympics were several thousand security guards short and the troops were moving in. This week he has been at it in front of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, sorrying again. With a dash of humiliating shambles, for variation.
Although of course he remains the right man to clear up the mess, which is the fault of others, and he had no idea what was going on until this month. And he will require the £57 million management fee in his company's Olympics contract to be paid as if nothing had happened.
I think most people will be laughing at Mr Buckles rather than getting angry at him. The people who are angry are in high places, and they are very upset that their nice smooth Olympics has turned toxic because of the greed and incompetence of Mr Buckles' company.
Mr Buckles is unlikely to count the Home Secretary Theresa May among his admirers, and Mrs May is not a woman to be trifled with.
G4S shares look a bit rocky at present. Some shareholders may wish to see Mr Buckles parted from his £830,000 salary and commensurate bonuses.
Here is my advice, Nick, and it comes for free: take the money and run.
And get a new haircut. That way people might not recognise you.

It's been a full season of crazy here. We take our holiday celebrating seriously in illinois. It was an especially fun year, I think with being gone for a few months overseas, I appreciated being home more. Thankful for family who loves to be together and who sees the hope in Christmas.
One of our quirky traditions....the lost art of taffy pulling. This is definitely a community event, where everyone gets involved. We are not quite sure where it comes from, perhaps the old german heritage....
Step one: clean hands....and wash the soap off. no one wants to eat soap.
Step two: apply copious amounts of butter and vanilla as to not completely lose your epidermis.
Step three: try to get the burning hot candy off of the plate without singeing your hands. grandmas and farmers have tough hands.
Step four: begin the delicate, beautiful dance of the taffy....we like to think it is similar to the dance of the sugar plum fairy.
Step five: place the taffy on a table in a cool area so it hardens.
Step six: eat as much as you can without throwing up. kendall won the award this year.
happy january!

Sprouting. Branching. Pruning. Neuroscientists have borrowed heavily from botanists to describe the way that neurons grow, but analogies between the growth of neurons and plants may be more than superficial. A new study from the National Institutes of Health and Harvard Medical School suggests that neurons and plant root cells may grow using a similar mechanism.
The research also sheds light on the hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP), a group of inherited neurological disorders in which some of the longest neurons in the body fail to grow and function properly. The genes behind HSP and their roles inside neurons are poorly understood. However, the study suggests that several forms of HSP share an underlying defect with each other — and with abnormal root hair development in a plant widely used for agricultural research.
The strange implication is that the plant, Arabidopsis thaliana (mouse-ear cress), could prove useful for further research on HSP.
"This study provides us with valuable new insights that will stimulate research toward therapies for hereditary spastic paraplegias," says Craig Blackstone, M.D., Ph.D., an investigator at NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and an HSP expert. Dr. Blackstone performed the study in collaboration with William Prinz, Ph.D., an investigator at the NIH's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and Tom Rapoport, Ph.D., a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a professor of cell biology at Harvard Medical School.
HSP primarily affects corticospinal neurons, which extend projections called axons from the brain's cerebral cortex to the spinal cord. The longest corticospinal axons extend nearly all the way down the spinal cord — a distance up to about three feet — in order to control movement in the legs. In HSP, these long axons develop abnormally or they degenerate later in life, causing muscle stiffness and weakness in the legs. HSP exists in many forms in different families, and more than 40 genes have been implicated in the disease.
In the new study, published in Cell, the researchers propose that defects in the shaping of a subcellular structure known as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are a common cause of HSP. The ER — named for its reticulated (or net-like) shape — is a cellular factory, where molecules such as proteins and lipids that are vital to cell growth are made and packaged for shipping to various cellular destinations. The researchers theorize that in several forms of HSP, the ER loses its complex shape and is unable to support the growth or maintenance of long corticospinal axons.
Several years ago, other researchers showed that similar ER defects in Arabidopsis impair the growth of the plant's root hairs. These are wispy, microscopic projections that grow from the plant's individual root cells.
The new study focuses on a gene called atlastin. This gene is defective in about 10 percent of HSP cases, and in previous research, Dr. Blackstone's group showed that it has a role in axon growth. The new study reveals that the atlastin protein is necessary for maintaining the shape of the ER in mammalian cells, and that an analogous protein called Sey1p performs the same function in baker's yeast.
The researchers demonstrate that ER shaping defects have general relevance for HSP, by showing a connection between atlastin and a group of proteins known as the DP1 family. Years ago, Drs. Prinz and Rapoport reported that a yeast analog of DP1 regulates the shape of the ER in yeast. Meanwhile, others researchers had independently reported that mutations in REEP1, a member of the DP1 family, cause 3 percent to 8 percent of HSP cases. The new study shows that atlastin interacts physically with DP1 in mammalian cells, and that Sey1p (the yeast atlastin) interacts with the DP1 analog in yeast.
Finally, Dr. Blackstone's study notes that Arabidopsis has an analog of atlastin, called Root Hair Defective 3 (RHD3). Mutations affecting RHD3 cause the plant to grow short, wavy root hairs.
If this connection between axon growth and root hair growth withstands further study, Arabidopsis could be a useful tool for investigating mechanisms of HSP. Arabidopsis is easy to raise in the lab, and the short root hairs of the RHD3 mutant are easy to observe, compared to the growth defects in atlastin-deficient neurons and yeast. Dr. Blackstone hopes to collaborate with other researchers to initiate a search for genes and compounds that correct root hair development in the RHD3 mutant, which might provide valuable therapeutic insights into HSP.

One thing that might surprise people is my high school sweetheart, Elaine, we've been together since high school and that perhaps is in today's world sometimes unusual.
I love to fly helicopters. I love to dive off of high places. I enjoy being around my family. But I'm a risk taker on one side, and yet somebody who I think has had setbacks in life and learn how to overcome them.
I was very fortunate that I had two parents that I am very very proud of. Both of them were doctors. My dad was OB/GYN and he taught me about the business world interestingly enough. And my mom was internal medicine and psychiatry, so when I got broke they could always fix it, but she taught me the emotional side and it's really a combination of the two that do that.
Three characteristics that make a good leader--let me just talk first from an analytical point of view. The first is results. The second thing I look for in my leaders is the quality of the team they build. Third is how good they are at being able to communicate their direction for the team and industry knowledge.
But you will learn more about a leader not on the really successful things they do, but in terms of what she or he does during times of challenge or failures.
If you think about where technology is today, it is going to increase at a tremendous pace. And what that means is it will change education, it will change healthcare, it will make our lives better, it will allow us to live longer, it will change business models, increased profits for business, but also enable people to be educated in a different way, and we're going to live a lot longer, so I think we're just in the very early technologies going to do for the future.
I'm most passionate about changing the world and how you use technology to change. I'm most passionate about when there's an opportunity that we go for the opportunity, or when there's a challenge we protect our customers, we protect our employees when they face challenges in their life. So I am a very passionate person. I've never ever yelled at anyone at Cisco in 20 years, but that doesn't mean I'm not passionate or enthusiastic or occasionally get disappointed.
((What Makes You Laugh))
[chuckles] My grandchildren. I've got a three month old and when he starts to smile I mean I just burst out in laughter. And my other four-year-old granddaughter, when she does ballerina or when she looks at me like her mom does, and my daughter-in-law does, it's something about women, they just go "now grandpa," "Papa!" And when that finger comes out I just get so tickled because she's about to lecture me at four years old. But everything she does makes me happy and laugh.
So what keeps me up? When it's my direct family or my Cisco family, when there is an issue that is very tough on. Or when there is an opportunity on the business side that is so important to go after, I'm worried about do we reach out and make it happen. Perhaps a third thought, whenever we let down customer, that keeps me up at night because I want every customer to be delighted about being part of Cisco, just like every employee, and when we don't do that, that's something we need to fix.

Concentration of CO2 in atmosphere hits new high: UN
GENEVA: The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere averaged a record 400 parts per million in 2015, an ominous milestone for the planet's health, the UN said on Monday.
The greenhouse gas has previously passed the 400 ppm threshold on certain months in specific locations but never on an annual global basis, the United Nations World Meteorological Organization said.
In its latest Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, WMO also reported that CO2 concentration rates had "surged again to new records in 2016" and predicted the annual average would stay above 400 ppm "for many generations."
The concentration of CO2 spiked in part because of a strong El Nino, the weather phenomenon that occurs every four to five years with a broadly warming effect.
El Nino "triggered droughts in tropical regions and reduced the capacity of 'sinks' like forests, vegetation and the oceans to absorb CO2," WMO said.
But the head of the Geneva-based agency, Petteri Taalas, warned against complacency just because El Nino has subsided for now.
"The El Nino event has disappeared. Climate change has not," he said.
Taalas called CO2 "the elephant in the room" in the battle to rein in climate change.
He applauded the landmark deal reached in Rwanda's capital Kigali earlier this month to phase out hydro fluorocarbons, a category of dangerous greenhouse gases widely used in refrigerators and air conditioners.
But he said that without similarly bold action against C02 emissions, the world will fail to meet the goals laid out in the historic Paris Agreement on climate change.
The WMO's annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin tracks concentrations of gasses in the atmosphere, rather than emissions.
Aside from CO2, the report monitors concentration rates of methane, nitrous oxide and several other gases with a major impact on climate change.

Upon entering the office, we have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with general information about yourself and your condition. To save you some time, prior to your first visit you can fill out the patient intake form
Once the paperwork has been completed, you will have a consultation with the Dr. Marchelle to review your health history as well to create your vision of ideal living.
History and Examination
You will receive a Spinal Health Assessment to determine your level of function and to create a baseline to work from. These examinations are done every 12 visits to determine your progress and it aides Dr. Marchelle in understanding the cause of your health challenge(s) and to create your customized Care Plan
X-ray Studies
It may be necessary to take X-Rays of your spine to determine the severity and complexity of the subluxation complex that is causing your problems and to rule out any pathology. To see is to know; not to see is to guess. Dr. Marchelle will NOT guess about your health!

A meta-analysis of eight studies with data from more than 250,000 adults, reported in the Jan. 28 issue of The Lancet, found that people who ate more than five servings of fruits and vegetables daily reduced their stroke risk by 26% (95% CI: 21-31%) compared with people who ate less than three servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
This welcome news comes at the end of week in which two popular icons of healthy eating -- soy protein and omega-3 fatty acids -- failed to prove their preventive claims.
A scientific statement from the American Heart Association said soy protein and isoflavones have no significant benefit for LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Nor, the AHA said, does soy protein lower blood pressure.
Omega-3 fatty acids, meanwhile, don't reduce the risk of cancer in humans, according to a study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, although no one attacked their heart-healthy credentials.
But the well-worn admonition to "eat your vegetables†once again proved to be solid advice, according to Feng He, Ph.D., and colleagues of St. George's University here.
Moreover, the data suggested a dose response -- people who consumed three to five servings of fruits and vegetables daily had an 11% (95% CI: 3-17%) reduction in stroke risk compared with those eating less than three servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
Patrick Breaux, M.D., a consulting cardiologist at the Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute in New Orleans, said the study results offer "just the type of robust numbers that clinicians can use when trying to educate patients about the need to substitute healthy nutrition for the type of hollow calories that come from fast-food diets.â€
Dr. Breaux, who was not involved in the study, said the findings fit well with the current recommendations from the AHA, which has been emphasizing the value of diets rich in "fruits, vegetables and nuts.â€
The meta-analysis included data from 257,551 people, with an average follow-up of 13 years. During the follow-up, there were 4,917 stroke events reported.
A subgroup analysis confirmed that diets rich in fruits and vegetables reduced risk of both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes in people who consumed more than five servings daily. Only the ischemic strokes were reduced in people who consumed three to five servings daily.
In a commentary in The Lancet that accompanied the article, Lyn M. Steffen, Ph.D., M.P.H, R.D., an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health in Minneapolis wrote that American adults on average eat only 3.75 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
That low intake is, she wrote, "a major modifiable risk factor contributing to the burden of ill health.â€

The above graph tells the whole story. Unless we as rheumatologists learn to and how to "turn and keep down the heat" related to the inflammatory processes that burden our patients, we relegate them to the cumulative, attendant types of collateral damage to which they are subject. Years of unopposed, uncontrolled active inflammation, at any level, is detrimental and begets many life-shortening and life-altering effects. The point of therapeutic opportunity is at the beginning of the disease process.
If we were discussing most infections, the inflammatory thermostat triggered by the infection would be turned off completely by the institution of antibiotics. Historically, certain uncontrolled infections, such as chronic tuberculosis or osteomyelitis, could lead to amyloidosis, a disorder caused by unopposed, chronic serum amyloid A protein (SAA) bombardment. This secondary type of amyloidosis is an example of one of the many types of collateral damage that occurs in the setting of chronic inflammation, whether due to tuberculosis – or rheumatoid arthritis. Antibiotics now control nearly all infections and limit the overall impact of the inflammatory process instigated by the infectious process to a very few days. Just imagine if this infectious burden lasted for years, an unlikely eventuality because most uncontrolled infections cannot be tolerated by a human.
Fortunately, diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) decrease the quality of life more than its duration. However, during the many years of being "bathed" in one degree of inflammation or another, patients with those disorders pay the price for a lack of a known etiology and a magic bullet like an antibiotic. There is probably a genetic predeterminism regarding how a given person's body responds to a given level of inflammation, and each person probably has its threshold point at which the inflammation spills over to affect other tissues and physiologic processes negatively.
Similar disease burdens exist with high blood pressure (HBP), atherosclerosis, diabetes, Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach, and hepatitis C. Each of these, if left un- or under-treated, can eventually lead to severe consequences, such as stroke, renal failure or congestive heart failure in the case of HBP; myocardial infarction and abdominal aortic aneurysm due to atherosclerosis; microangiopathy with neuropathy, eye and kidney disease in diabetes; ulcer, bleeding or lymphoma when it comes to H. pylori; and mixed cryoglobulinemia and hepatocellular carcinoma with hepatitis C. Just as we have learned not to allow those disorders to go under treated, we have learned similar lessons regarding chronic musculoskeletal and autoimmune disorders.
Having learned these facts, where are we in our therapeutic evolution regarding diseases such as RA, SLE, ankylosing spondylitis, and scleroderma?
We are farthest along with RA, because of the fruits of our epidemiologic studies of the disease and our immunological and technologic advances. However we cumulatively limit the level of inflammation, be it with disease-modifying drugs, corticosteroids, NSAIDs, or mechanical or physical therapeutic measures, or combinations of these modalities, our patient is better off. Improvement in any RA outcome you choose has been demonstrated with drugs such as methotrexate, and further movement towards an eventual infectious paradigm will occur with biologic agents.
In SLE, much of the progress regarding mortality and morbidity has been related to improvements in general medical care rather than new treatments focused directly at SLE. Antibiotics, anti-hypertensives, cholesterol-lowering statins, anti-smoking campaigns, improvements in dialysis technology and transplant immunology have all had a profound impact on mortality – from a 50% five-year survival in 1954 to a 93% 10-year survival and 70% 20-year survival in 1995. Certainly, the development of a more enlightened approach to the use of steroids, specifically the employment of lower doses of steroids for shorter periods of time, has allowed the physician to "get in and get out" more rapidly without leaving major, steroid-related fall-out for the patient. The use of pulse steroids has helped as well because, while not totally free of side effects, industrial-strength pulses of steroids for only one to three days more profoundly re-sets the inflammatory thermostat in a way that smaller doses do not. Intravenous cyclophosphamide has clearly improved the outcome of one of the main scourges of SLE, diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis, but this is not invariable, is associated with many major side effects, and more effective, predictable and focused therapies are essential. Our understanding of the immunopathogenesis of SLE is improving significantly. Many the new therapies that arise from this expanded understanding are in the pipeline. They sure to move SLE therapy forward in the same quantum manner that RA and psoriatic arthritis therapy has moved in the past 10 years.
Heretofore, anklylosing spondylitis has been one of the therapeutic stepchildren of rheumatology. Patients were, in many ways, left on their own, relegated to being treated with NSAIDs and exercises because no therapy, including methotrexate or sulfasalazine, appeared to have a disease-modifying impact on spinal inflammation. That has all changed with the advent of tumour necrosis factor blockers such as infliximab (Remicade), etanercept (Enbrel), and adalimumab (Humira). Impressive clinical and radiological results bode well for these drugs as first-line therapy in this disease.
And then there is scleroderma. Here, the inflammatory and immunological paradigm has not seemed to fit with regard to finding effective therapies to change the natural history of this disease. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors had a profound impact upon the previously poor outcome of "malignant" scleroderma, with its malignant hypertension, renal ischemia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and arrhythmias. Oral cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) and pulse steroids seem to be effective in the setting of early, non-fibrotic alveolitis. New endothelin-blocking drugs such as bosentan (Tracleer) are now saving lives -- and improving the quality of life -- in pulmonary hypertension. Prostaglandin inhibitors have helped to prevent finger damage in those with severe vasospasm due to Raynaud's phenomenon. And, acid pump inhibitors have improved living with the esophageal disease of PSS.
However, the hope of d-penicillamine and relaxin has fallen by the wayside, and we need a new pathogenic and therapeutic paradigm in order to move along at the rate of RA. Perhaps, tissue growth factor (TGF) beta inhibitors will help to arrest the profibrotic nature of scleroderma and avoid the inexorably downhill course of scarring in the lungs, GI tract and skin and the vasculopathy that makes scleroderma such a frustrating and frightening disease for patient and physician.
What is the future? One hopes that new therapies for all chronic inflammatory disorders will be able to "cure" them as we can infectious disorders – stop them in their tracks -- and that the outcome for our patients will be more like the graph below than the one above.

ROXBURY, NJ – Chris Carbonaro's detached garage, on a quiet Ledgewood street, looks about the same as many others in Roxbury; beige walls and two white doors.
The only clue about its true nature are two small, brown placards - one on each door - that say "Ninjas Only."
That message could be mistaken for a joke or an indication Carbonaro, a Randolph police officer, has a collection of Kawasaki Ninja sport bikes. Both assumptions would be wrong.
Carbonaro, 36, is a seasoned practitioner of ninjutsu. He's a ninja. And his garage isn't a garage anymore. It's a traditional Japanese dojo – a special space reserved for the study and teaching of ninjutsu and other Japanese arts.
"For me, the dojo is basically two parts," Carbonaro said. "It's a place for my spiritual studies as well as my physical martial arts."
Mounted on the dojo's interior walls are Japanese scrolls and racks holding traditional ninja weapons and armor. Its floors are covered with tatami mats.
Those passing by Carbonaro's house on Oct. 6 might have seen a white-bearded man, in flowing robes, walking around the dojo chanting and performing other ritualistic actions. That was the Rev. Lawrence Koichi Barrish, a Shinto priest, who came from Washington State to bless the building with an Ohari ceremony.
It was a very special day for Carbonaro, his family and a small group of his friends and students. "The idea of the blessing is to remove all negative energy and or evil spirits and to create good fortune and good prosperity for the dojo as well as all those who attend.
"I didn't realize it, but this guy's quite famous," Carbonaro said, referring to Barrish. He said Barrish is the first American to attain the stature of Shinto priest. "He's been doing this for a long time ... We flew him in and he did two blessings, two in New York and ours."
A Staten Island native who was raised a Roman Catholic, Carbonaro long ago became fascinated with Japanese culture. He began studying Japanese martial arts as a 12-year-old living in Pennsylvania and he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force largely because he hoped to be stationed in Japan, a dream that eventually came true.
"I studied Japanese language on the air base and, obviously from living in Japan, I was able to use it every day," Carbonaro said. "In Februrary, 2002, I started ninjutsu studies in Japan."
Carbonaro, who eventually came to study under renowned Japanese martial arts master Masaaki Hatsumi, is himself a teacher. "I've been around," he said. "I taught seminars throughout the U.S. as well as Mexico and the Dominican Republic."
He stressed that his new dojo is not a business venture. However, Carbonaro said he will use the building "to help those who are interested in furthering their study" of Japanese culture, history and martial arts.
Carbonaro, whose wife is Japanese, became a Randolph policeman in 2013. The couple bought the house in Ledgewood last year.
"Prior to moving to Morris County, my wife and I used to live in Bergen County where we were connected to a large Japanese community," he said. "However, although there are quite a few Japanese living in the Morris County area, it is a goal of my wife and I to try to bring them together."
He said he was looking for a house with a garage big enough to store his collection of Japanese items and to allow him to practice. "The dojo was actually my wife's idea," Carbonaro said. "She said, 'You should build a dojo at the house … The garage was empty. I brought in all the things I've collected over the years. You pick up the mats, it's still a garage."

Jacque Vaughn was named head coach of the Orlando Magic on July 27, 2012. Vaughn became the tenth head coach in franchise history. He is the
second-youngest head coach in the NBA.
During his first year at the helm, Orlando finished with a record of 20-62 (.244). He recorded his first NBA head coaching victory on Nov. 2, 2012 vs.
Denver, then later notched his first road victory on Nov. 16 @ Detroit. The Magic surprised many by opening the season with a 12-13 record. However, the
team suffered multiple injuries to key players, resulting in 208 total games missed due to injury/illness, the fourth-most in the NBA, which led to 27
different starting lineups, the second-most in the league.
More importantly, Vaughn and his staff took the sixth-youngest roster in the NBA and helped develop several promising young players.
Prior to joining the Magic, Vaughn spent two seasons (2010-12) as an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs. During Vaughns two seasons on San
Antonios staff, the Spurs compiled a regular season record of 111-37 (.750). He was also a member of their 2006-07 NBA Championship team as a player.
Vaughn was originally selected in the first round (27th overall) of the 1997 NBA Draft by Utah. He played 12 years in the NBA from 1997-2009
with Utah, Atlanta, Orlando, New Jersey and San Antonio, averaging 4.5 ppg. and 2.5 apg. in 776 career regular season games.
Vaughn played 80 games (48 starts) with the Orlando Magic during the 2002-03 season, averaging 5.9 ppg., 2.9 apg. and 1.5 rpg. in 21.1 minpg.
As a collegian, Vaughn played four years at Kansas University. He was named Second Team All-America during both his junior (1995-96) and senior (1996-97)
campaigns by The Associated Press. Vaughn concluded his collegiate career as the schools all-time leader in assists with 804. He was named the Big Eight
Conference Player of the Year in 1996 and the Newcomer of the Year in 1994.
Vaughn also excelled off the court, being named a two-time First Team GTE Academic All-American and the 1996-97 GTE Team Member of the Year, signifying him
as the top student-athlete among Division I basketball players, after posting a 3.72 GPA. He earned his degree in business administration while at KU.
Vaughn and his wife, Laura, have two sons, Jalen and Jeremiah.

THE daughter of a woman left crippled by a North Wales drink-driver last night condemned his 21-month jail sentence.
Nicola Garcia said motorist David Stove, who was handed a 10-year driving ban, "should have gone down for much longer."
And she backed the judge who voiced frustration saying a two-year maximum sentence was not enough.
Stove, a 44-year-old butcher, was more than twice the legal limit when his Nissan Patrol 4x4 ploughed head-on into the Ford Fiesta driven by fellow villager Irene Garcia. He had been drinking the night before and did not realise he was still over the limit, Chester Crown Court was told yesterday.
Stove, from Glyn Ceiriog, near Wrexham had been trying to overtake a car on a bend when the smash occurred.
Mrs Garcia, 57, was trapped for 15 minutes and sustained multiple injuries.
She had suffered traumatic stroke symptoms and would have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life, said Siôn ap Mihangel, prosecuting.
He said she could only walk with a stick and her life had been changed while her husband was on medication for depression.
Stove had a previous drink-driving conviction.
David Sutton, defending, said he had been drinking the night before and was genuinely unaware of the level of alcohol in his blood otherwise he would not have driven.
He said Stove had a successful family business but the incident had trauma-tised him to the extent he could no longer face customers in his shop.
"He has suffered genuine remorse and shock as a result," he said.
Judge Roger Dutton said: "The extremely serious multiple injuries she sustained will lead to permanent disability for the rest of her life."
He said courts had sent a clear message to Parliament that a maximum of two years imprisonment was far too low.
He said Stove, who was charged with dangerous driving and excess alcohol, should also be banned from driving for ten years.
Nicola said: "My mother is upset. These days you do not know which way a court will swing.
"But I agree with the judge, he should have gone down for longer."

Increasing spending on agriculture is the most effective type of investment for halting poverty across the country, a don, Prof. Abel Ogunwale, has said.
In an interview with The Nation, Ogunwale, a lecturer in Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Ladoke Akintola University,Ogbomoso,Oyo State, said investments in agriculture are more effective in lifting people out of poverty than investments in any other sector because they not only drive economic growth but set the stage for long-term sustainable development.
According to him, the key challenge is how to build the capacity of small farmers to invest in arable crops and animal husbandry which could become viable rural businesses, particularly for women and young people who are jobless.
He said revamping agriculture to boost income of farmers involves improving access to and cost of finance, public expenditure in agriculture, research and development, and private sector investment in agriculture.
He said agriculture-related agencies needed to marshal efforts and resources in partnership to accelerate modernisation and achieve sustainable food security outcomes, reduce poverty and end hunger.

Home Warden
As I talked about at the beginning of the week, my wife the teacher has started her whirlwind summer tour of the country and she ping pongs between various mathematics related conferences. As a result I am holding down the fort here at home, and at the same time having to take care of our neighbors pets. In the past there has always been this mad dash the few days before my wife gets home to pick up and house and make sure everything is in proper working order. However this time around I have been doing a much better job of picking things up as they happen. Here is hoping there will be no 11th hour cleaning fest… which admittedly is mostly just picking up trash around the house that I have allowed to stack up when I reverted to full on bachelor mode.
The hardest thing about being home alone has been maintaining my walking regiment. I am letting it split a bit, in that I am not walking a "three loop" around the neighborhood each night, but instead I am simply adding additional steps into my day so I don't really have to. Admittedly I should be pushing myself harder and doing the loops anyway, but without my walking buddy I have lost a good chunk of the reason why I walked past 10,000 steps in the first place. So for now I am getting to 10,000 and then calling it good… even going so far as to walking loops around the living room one night to get the last couple of hundred steps in. All in all I am pretty proud that I have survived thus far and not really let any balls hit the ground. This weekend however… who knows how well that is going to work since it will be hard to fight the desire to be sedentary.
Enter the Warlords
Several days ago I apparently got into the Warlords of Draenor Alpha program. Based on the time that passed between the launch of it and me getting in, I am guessing I was in the second wave of invites overall. With all the excitement of my wife getting ready to go on her trip, I had stopped checking my inbox for such things… and it ended up getting filed away under "promotions". So I did not actually get in and attempt to play it until the night before last. Since for some time I had settled on Blood Deathknight as my "favorite" wow class, I opted to create one of those. Right now the only content available is the Horde content that centers around a campaign to build your Garrison in Frostfire Ridge. As a result of this I created an Orc Deathknight given that generally this is my favorite Horde Race when I actually play that faction.
Wednesday night was our regularly schedule "Faff About in Cyrodil" night, and as such I got over to actually booting up World of Warcraft pretty late in the evening. So I was tired and probably a bit confused… so when they landed me in Frostfire Ridge with a toolbar full of abilities that made no sense… I had a very much "wtf is this shit" moment. I knew going into the Alpha that they had removed Blood Boil and merged it with Pestilence. I did not however know that they also removed Rune Strike and Heart Strike… and even Blood Strike. So I could not for the life of me that night figure out how to set up a Deathknight Rotation. After consulting the Sage Qelric, I managed to reason out a rotation once you filled in the missing bit of the information. They are apparently expecting us to use Pestilence as our Blood Rune consumer now.
Getting Into Things
Once I figured out the rotation and remembered how I normally set up the rest of my bar, things started to fall into place. Its funny how many abilities I didn't even remember using but where just muscle memory for playing a Deathknight. Each time I used one of these… I had to track it down and put it on my bar in the "correct" place. This would have likely been less jarring if I had essentially not been playing much wow for the last five months. I made another attempt to play last night before our League of Legends night, and found it still pretty lousy feeling. However afterwards I finally started to get back into the swing of things. I still keep wanting to do things that wildstar allows me to do, and I keep trying to sprint… but overall I have managed to get through the first few quests and ding 91.
I have an Inn and a Barracks in my Garrison and my very first follower that I can send away on missions. So far I am digging the way Garrisons are just integrated into the storyline. At first I was concerned that they might be this big mini-game that was entirely skippable. However they have managed to integrate it into the storyline of building a base in this foreign land. I managed to find an ogre merchant that I could bribe to come trade with me at my Garrison. I am wondering if he will eventually show up there and become a merchant that I can buy and sell from. For the time being as far as I know that has not actually happened. I will probably play some more tonight and stream some of it. The Deathknight rotation still seems off somehow… like there is way too much downtime waiting on my runes to recycle. I guess it gives me plenty of time to weave in Soul Reaper and Death Siphon… which I am finding I like considerably more than Death Pact.
Warlords of Draenor
For at least some of tonight I will likely be playing some Warlords of Draenor. Since I am one of the few people in Alpha Currently… I feel like I need to do my job as a tester and… test content. When I say few… that is a bit of a misnomer because it seems like everyone and their brother are in the friends and family alpha. Blizzard has without a doubt the biggest family I have ever seen. If you are also in Warlords Alpha, you should totally throw me a Battletag invite (Belghast#1752). If you do so however please tell me how the hell I know you. It would be nice to have some friendly faces on the alpha server until they hook it up to the "real" battle.net accounts. Going to also start joining an "AofA" server channel if any of the other Alliance of Awesome community members happen to be playing.
