Seasoning your way to a healthy lifestyle
Wednesday - 4/4/2012, 10:58am  ET

WASHINGTON - Spicing up the cooking in your kitchen can help your body reap serious health benefits.
Yahoo Health reports that a number of everyday spices have super healing powers.
Sage, for example, not only smells good, it's linked to improved memory and mood. It and rosemary also have Carnosic acid, an antioxidant believed to protect the brain from free-radicals -- perhaps lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Thyme has anti-microbial properties and contains thymol oil, which is used as a fungicide and antiseptic. Listerine and some "green" household cleaners contain thymol oil.
Yahoo Health also includes cinnamon among its list of super spices because of cinnamon's cardiovascular benefits. Check the ingredient label though - cassia is often used in place of cinnamon, but it isn't the real thing. Stronger concentrations of antioxidants are found in Ceylon cinnamon, true cinnamon.
Turmeric is a powerhouse. Studies on people, in test-tubes and with animals show a myriad of body benefits. The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, fends off cancer growth as well as the brain plaque linked to Alzheimer's. It's also an anti-inflammatory that's as good as ibuprofen for osteoarthritis in the knee. Turmeric even helps regulate triglyceride and insulin levels, benefiting your heart.
Basil, commonly associated with Italian food, is traditionally used in India to treat asthma, stress and diabetes.
Saffron, chili peppers and ginger also are highlighted for their healing powers.

Women's Tennis Selected Eighth in Preseason Poll
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU women's tennis team was selected to finish eighth in the Atlantic Sun preseason coaches' poll, the conference announced on Wednesday. Stetson earned top billing, edging out ETSU, the defending A-Sun champions, and UNF.
The Eagles return three seniors, including second team All-Atlantic Sun selections Priscillia Villemond (Les Bordes, France) and Eva Sambrano (Tampa, Fla.). Head coach Jennifer Gabou commented, "I'm really excited about the season ahead and look forward to our first conference match on February 14 against Stetson. That will be a good test for us."
Stetson, last season's regular-season champions, completed a nearly perfect season, 8-1, after only falling to UNF. The Hatters return Montevideo, Uruguay natives, Valentina Galbarini and Carolina de los Santos, both who notched spectacular fall seasons. In the ITA preseason poll, the doubles pair of Galbarini and Carolina de los Santos earned a ranking of 60, largely in part of the pair's spectacular performance at the ITA Southeast Region Championships during the fall. Galbarini and de los Santos knocked off Georgia's then No. 6 Nadja Gilchrist and Chelsey Gullickson and UNF's No. 47 pair of sophomore Aline Berkenbrock and senior Raquel Castro in a run to the semifinals. Earlier in the fall, the duo tallied a 2-1 record at the FGCU Fall Invitational. Galbarini earned First Team All-Atlantic Sun honors in each of the last two seasons as well as a 2009 A-Sun All-Tournament team pick.
ETSU, last season's regular-season champions, earned a No. 2 seed for the Atlantic Sun Championships on an 8-1 league record last season. The Lady Bucs received their only conference loss of the season from the Hatters, 4-3, on April 2, 2009. ETSU features 2009-10 Preseason Player of the Year Yevgeniya Stupak. The senior from Kyiv, Ukraine, shined during the fall season after posting a 13-4 record in five tournaments, picking up wins against players from six nationally ranked teams.
In addition to her singles ranking, the reigning A-Sun Women's Tennis Player of the Year placed in the doubles rankings with Kelly Holtzhausen. The pair begins the new season ranked ninth in the region after an 8-5 record this fall, earning wins against teams from No. 40 Wake Forest, No. 50 Yale and No. 66 Harvard, while claiming the doubles title at the Cissie Leary Invitational in Philadelphia. Stupak has been ranked in both national and regional polls in the past two years, and earned a ranking of 98 on the ITA preseason poll on Sept. 4, 2009. In addition to her Player of the Year honor, Stupak landed on 2009 All-Tournament Team and on the All-Atlantic Sun First-Team.
UNF took third in the coaches' poll, just eight points behind ETSU. In UNF's final action of the fall season at the Wofford Invitational Tournament in Spartanburg, S.C., the Ospreys picked up several wins on the second and final day. Junior Lauren Holton defeated Presbyterian's Heather Heusel, 6-1, 6-0, while junior Victoria Krook dropped Heather Isbell, 6-1, ret. In doubles action, the pair of Melanie Aguirre and Krook defeated Erica White and Tanvenner Black from Gardner-Webb, 8-1. Two weeks earlier, UNF's doubles pair of Raquel Castro and Aline Berkenbrock finished fall competition at the Wilson/ITA Southeast Region Championships after falling to Stetson's duo of Galbarini and de los Santos, 8-3, in the second round of play. In singles action, Galbarini defeated Berkenbrock, 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, in the consolation bracket of the tournament.
USC Upstate landed fourth in the poll after closing fall competition at the Wofford Fall Challenge. Junior Emilia Miloanovic completed a perfect run throughout the tournament and also set a school record with the 23rd fall tournament doubles win of her career after a victory against Presbyterian's Paige Oelke and Heather Isbell, 8-3, with doubles partner Cinthya Lazaro. The native of Paris, France has won six straight singles matches at the event, dating back to her sophomore year, and has won all nine doubles matches that she has played in, posting three wins in 2007 and three more in 2008 with former partner Anna Novo.
Kennesaw State, Campbell, FGCU, Mercer, Belmont and Lipscomb secured the fifth through 11th slots.

Nearly 10 million laptop batteries manufactured by Sony are being recalled worldwide.
That recall affects approximately 340,000 in the United States.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a formal recall notice for U.S. consumers.
The government says the batteries could catch fire. Sony will replace them free of charge.
Computers made by Gateway, Dell, Apple, Lenovo and Sony's Vaio brand are among those affected.
Sony executives are apologizing for the global recall, acknowledging that the troubles had caused worries and inconvenience to consumers.
The Japanese electronics and entertainment company said improvements in production, design and inspection have been made to prevent a recurrence of laptop overheating problems. Company officials said they were caused by microscopic metal particles that mistakenly got inside the battery, causing short-circuiting.

Robocop 2
Peter Weller
Directed by Irvin Kershner
It's difficult to imagine a summer film programmed more cynically than this repugnant sequel. Three years ago, director Paul Verhoeven made something vividly satirical and scary with the futuristic tale of Alex J. Murphy (Peter Weller), a Detroit cop killed on duty and transformed by an evil corporation into a law-and-order cyborg, RoboCop. Weller's soulful eyes, peering through his visor, suggested feelings that hadn't died — the man was still fighting the machine.
From the looks of things, director Irvin Kershner (The Empire Strikes Back) and screenwriters Frank Miller (author of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns) and Walon Green (The Wild Bunch) didn't know what to do for a follow-up. For starters, though, they cut out the human drama. After a brief scene in which Murphy parks outside his home to sneak a glance at his wife and son, action obliterates feeling. Bodies are blown up in lip-licking close-ups. On the streets, hookers grind their heels into men's eyeballs to steal money for "Nuke," a new designer drug injected into the neck. A foulmouthed twelve-year-old boy plots murder; a little girl breaks an old man's kneecaps with a baseball bat. And when Murphy comes up against his ultimate enemy, who is it? A bigger, badder machine. RoboCop 2 is all machine, and it's all vile.

Thread: Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?!?
Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?!?
Disclaimer - I don't actually think we are going to the playoffs this year. I love this team, I have seen a LOT of improvement, and I think we are on the right track. But I see us finishing 8-8 at best. Next year I can see us seriously talking playoff scenarios in week 11 (playoff game at TCF?).
I am still a blind homer, and the homer in me knows that we are on the bubble AND we technically control our own destiny since we have to play both the Bears and Packers twice still. Believe it or not, there is actually a pretty good chance that we get into the game.
I think the wild card teams will be 10-6 this year. To reach that mark, we need to go 4-2 in this final stretch. Let's assume we beat the Bears and Packers at home (certainly possible, especially with the Bears wounded and the Packers game being a potentially meaningless week 17 game). That means we need to win 2 of the other four games - Bears, Packers, Rams, Texans, ALL away games.
That is still a pretty tall order. I think it starts with the Bears game this weekend. Cutler may or may not be in, and their defense is reeling a bit. I think they are vulnerable. I am concerned that we never play that well in Chicago. I think that cow pasture they call a field has something to do with it - teams built around speed have a hard time there.
The other game that is in the realm of possibility is St Louis. Their defense is decent this year, but their offense is horrible.
While there is a chance that we beat the Packers or the Texas in their house, that chance is pretty damn small. I actually think those two teams are going to be in the Super Bowl.
So there you have it. If we have any thoughts about watching the Vikings play football in January, it starts with the game against the Bears this weekend. They are vulnerable and coming off from a short week, while we are coming off from a bye. It can happen. SKOL VIKINGS!Zeus wrote:
When are you going to realize that picking out the 20 bad throws this year and ignoring the 300 good ones does not make your point?
Looking forward to the game this week. I expect it to be a good one.
Cutler will probably play if at all possible as Chicago will see this game as a key one to win. Who knows what the Vikings offense will bring, but a conservative hard nosed game that they seem to enjoy might play well here. Minimize mistakes and put a lot of pressure on whoever is in at QB. Bring the right spikes AD. Hopefully Walsh stays on his game, he could be the key to this one.

Come on Viking fans. Don't do it. DO NOT get your hopes up. Don't let this team needlessly break your heart again. Just take a deep breath and say to yourself "this is only a rebuilding year, nothing more, nothing less".
I only see 1 more win on the schedule, Bears at home, but even that one is ify. There's a very real possibility we go 0-6, and at best we go 2-4 which would leave us with a respectable 8-8 record. No way we go 4-2. That would require the Vikings to win 3 or 4 games that they shouldn't and this team just doesn't win games that it shouldn't. We have no problem losing games that we shouldn't, but we rarely win ones that we shouldn't. In the last 15 years combined we maybe beat 4 teams that we shouldn't have, so there's no way we're going to do it 4 times in the final 6 games.
Ok I'm done, I just wanted to elaborate on Nodak's disclaimer a little bit haha.
With the way it's going, Week 17 vs GB is not going to be meaningless. If we are still in it for a shot at the playoffs, obviously we will be fighting for everything. If we still are in it, that will probably mean the Packers are still fighting for the division as well OR a playoff spot.
If we are out of it by then, GB will still be in it fighting for the division or a playoff birth. So... no matter what, week 17 will not be a meaningless game.
If the Packers are more than 2 games up on both the bears and us (which I expect), then they won't be fighting for the division or a playoff birth. The only thing they could be fighting for is is seed seed and first round bye. I doubt the division leader from the NFCE is going to be in contention for a bye, so it comes down to whether or not they can catch or lose position to Atl or San Fran. By week 17 seed is often solidified for the top two spots.
It wont be meaningless for the Vikings, but there is a good chance that it is meaningless for the Packers.Zeus wrote:

The Vikings are pretenders. After week four teams began to expose Ponder. The Vikings won't win more than one more game after their fiasco in Chicago. St Louis is really the only game I see them having a chance in. The ONE and ONLY way the Vikings have any chance to steal a few games is to put the ball in AD's hands at least 30 to 35 times a game and hope he can rip off some huge runs. Ponder is not capable of stealing a game at this point. He's been exposed for what he is... A weak arm that can't throw into small windows between the hashes, no pocekt presence and can't read a defense from the pocket.
Well, it is down to winning 2 of the next 3 away games to stay relevant. Packers, Rams, Texans. I guess it is possible, but I would have felt a lot better if we would have beaten the Bears on Sunday.
Truth be told I expect us to lose this weekend to fall to 6-6, which means we will need win out after that if we are going to entertain any hopes. Of course, given the way the Vikings like to surprise us (both good and bad), for all we know we are going to win this weekend...Zeus wrote:

We're not going to the playoffs this year.
However, this team is already two games better than I thought they'd be, which (to me) speaks highly of the coaching staff and the players themselves.
We're probably going to lose all but one of the remaining games. As long as we're competitive for the lot, I'll be very pleased. The Bears and Packers are really, really good teams. The Bears are an offensive lineman or two from being serious Superbowl contenders, and the Packers are the Packers. Deep and talented enough to win, even with injuries all over the place.
My take on it is that if you can't beat the good teams to make it in the playoffs, then you shouldn't be in them. I'm not expecting any miracles, but will sit back and see how this team chooses to finish off the year.
I will say that I never expected us to be talking about playoff possibilities this far into the season. Even though we can see a ton of flaws in this team, they are still in the hunt at this point. I think 9-7 will probably claim the final spot, so three more wins will be needed to give MN a chance. Not likely, but not out of the question.
Seattle, TB, and MN sitting at 6-5 with Washington, NO and Dallas at 5-6. NO and TB are probably playing the best of this group at the moment. Seattle is damn near invincible at home (SF, AZ and STL remain), but can't seem to win on the road (CHI and BUF remain), now it looks like their two starting corners might get suspended for 4 games. Dallas, is the classic train wreck, I just don't see them rising to the occasion. TB is playing well but have to go through Denver next week and then NO and Atlanta on the road yet. Washington has NY this week and the Ravens next week. NO's goes to Atlanta tomorrow night and then the Giants the next week.
Seattle is the favorite to take the 6th spot at this point, especially since they own the tiebreaker over MN and TB, but if they stumble it's wide open.

Photos: GM, Transformers' product placement marketing match
Imagine you're a huge automobile manufacturing company. (Imagine harder! You're a complex of buildings, factories, offices and... Oh, never mind. Bad metaphor.)

Property owners are required to pay property taxes on an annual basis to the County Tax Collector. If the owner neglects to pay his/her taxes by the end of May following the taxable year, a "Tax Certificate" is sold by the Tax Collector.
A tax certificate is held for a minimum of two years and a maximum of seven years. At any time between the second and seventh year, the certificate holder may request the sale of the property to satisfy the certificate.
The actual sale is held in the lobby of the County Courthouse. All owners and lien holders are notified and the sale is held in accordance with Florida Statutes.
The property is placed up for bid and auctioned off. All bids must be honored within 24 hours of the sale.

Online Accounting Bachelor's Degree
Employers need graduates who can analyze data and work through financial models, and an online bachelor's degree in accounting can help students develop those in-demand skills. An online degree in accounting teaches students the fundamentals of business, finance and analysis to prepare them for professional accounting careers in both the public and private sectors.
Course Work
Example courses | |||||||||
Quantitative analysis | |||||||||
Principles of accounting | |||||||||
Business communications | |||||||||
Business law | |||||||||
Auditing principles |
Core course work for online accounting students often includes quantitative analysis, macroeconomics, internal auditing and income taxation. These courses should help students pass the necessary exams for professional certification as a certified public accountant, certified management accountant or certified internal auditor.
Students need to complete 150 semester hours in order to take the CPA exam, and most bachelor's degree programs fall short of this requirement. The American Institute of CPAs recommends students continue their studies at the graduate level, earning either a master's in accounting or an MBA with an accounting concentration. While professional certification is not required for all potential career paths, it can significantly improve job prospects, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Job Outlook
Median salaries* | |||||||||
Accountant | $62,000 | ||||||||
Personal financial adviser | $64,500 | ||||||||
Budget analyst | $68,000 | ||||||||
Financial analyst | $74,000 | ||||||||
Actuary | $87,600 | ||||||||
Financial manager | $100,000 |
*per the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook
Increased focus on regulating and monitoring corporations in the wake of scandals and financial crises translates into an increased demand for accountants - particularly auditors. Accounting is the third most in-demand degree, behind only finance and computer and information science, and is among the top five majors sought by the federal government, according to a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Career options for students with an online bachelor's in accounting include budget analyst, tax examiner, risk manager and personal financial adviser, to name a few.

The race is on: The 15% tax on dividends ends December 31. Unless Congress acts, dividends will be taxed as ordinary income starting in 2013. That leaves precious little time for cash-rich companies to reward their shareholders with special dividends.
Back in January, I selected seven companies likely to give large special dividends this year. To get on the list, a company had to fill two key criteria: Insiders had to hold a high share percentage and the company had to have given a special dividend in 2010, the last time the dividend tax treatment was scheduled to end. The original list - Armstrong World (AWI), Buckle (BKE), Limited Brands (LTD), MTOX Scientific (MTOX), Stamps.com (STMP), Werner Enterprises (WERN), and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) - is quickly getting shorter.
So far, Armstrong and Limited Brands have handed investors sizable special dividends. MTOX Scientific didn't get a chance to pay a special dividend - it got taken out by Lab Corporation of America at a hefty premium.
Wynn Resorts just validated my thesis. The company last week announced a $7.50 special dividend and doubled its regular dividend to $1.00.
That leaves Buckle, Stamps.com and Werner Enterprises yet to announce a special dividend.
Werner has given a special dividend four out of the last four years, always in November. Last year, Werner only gave investors a special dividend of $0.50 but, in 2010, the company was much more generous, mailing out a one-time dividend of $1.60. I anticipate Werner's special this year will be on the large side to take advantage of the expiring dividend tax treatment.
Stamps.com has only had one special dividend in the past. In 2010, Stamps.com gave shareholders a $2.00 special dividend. The company has $52 million in cash, enough for another $2 special, leaving it a $20 million cash position - the same amount left over after it presented its last special dividend. My bet - Stamps.com mails a $2 special dividend to investors this year.
The Buckle has rewarded shareholders with a special dividend in each of the last 4 years. Insiders own over 35% of the company. It's in their interests to announce a large one-time payment before the tax code changes. The Buckle has amassed $197 million in cash and short-term investments or $4.10 a share. The company is expected to earn another $40 million, or $0.83 a share, for the upcoming quarter. With no debt and a small $30 to $34 million capex, this retailer has plenty of money available for a special dividend.
I predict the Buckle announces a $2.50 to $3.50 special dividend in addition to its regular $0.20 dividend at its next board meeting in November.
Sixty days and counting until the end of the year. Only three companies are left in my list. By year's end, it's a good bet every one of them will announce a special dividend.

Washington Telephone Assistance Program
What it is:
The Washington Telephone Assistance Program (WTAP) helps low-income households afford telephone services. Access to a telephone is considered a basic necessity - allowing you to call emergency 911, get medical and social services; connect with employers, community, family and friends.
What WTAP helps with:
WTAP helps by discounting wireline phone service. If you're not able to get a traditional phone, WTAP provides no-cost community voice mail. WTAP does not help with cell phones.
WTAP assists you by:
- Discounting ½ of the connection fee up to $22 when you move residences
- Discounting the monthly basic service. You would pay $8 plus taxes per month for basic service (unlimited local calling).You pay for any additional features such as voice mail or call-forwarding.
- Waiving the first $16 when a deposit is required for local service. The deposit may be completely waived if you agree to have toll limitation (no long distance).
- Offering special payment options for those who have outstanding balances with their local telephone companies.
If you live where you can't get a traditional telephone, you may be able to get a no-cost community voice mail box which provides you with a personal telephone number where people can call and leave you a message
Who is eligible:
- Low-income adults who are receiving ongoing DSHS medical, financial or food assistance benefits. Adult payees receiving benefits on behalf of a child is not eligible for WTAP; or
- Former clients of Community Voice Mail who are referred to WTAP by their Community Voice Mail office.
If you are found eligible for WTAP, you would:
Call your local telephone company, and ask for the WTAP discount. See below for telephone companies that provide a WTAP discount.
Time Limitations:
The WTAP service year begins July 1 and ends June 30. For example, if you become WTAP-eligible in December 2013, you will continue to be WTAP-eligible until June 30, 2014. As long as you are getting qualifying DSHS benefits, you will continue to be eligible for WTAP.
How you apply for WTAP:
- Call your local telephone company, and request the WTAP discount. The telephone company will contact WTAP to make sure you're eligible before giving you a discount.
- The person who is eligible for WTAP must have their name on the telephone billing.
- WTAP benefits begin the date you call the telephone company, and the telephone company verifies your eligibility with the WTAP office.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In exactly one week's time, the governor's public education reform bill (SB359) went from uncertainty to being passed by both houses and headed for his signature.
Call it quintessential Earl Ray Tomblin.
Unlike his predecessor Joe Manchin, who would have been like a bull pushing for the bill (think photo ops at local elementary schools, numerous press conferences, and frequent appearances on the second floor to cajole and/or arm-twist legislators), Tomblin was practically invisible during the process.
Just as he did for years as Senate Finance chairman, then as Senate president, Tomblin's style is to call in interested parties to talk over issues and come up with compromises.
Throughout last week, you'd see groups of three or four going to or from the governor's office ... sometimes legislators, sometimes teachers' union representatives.
Arguably, not the most transparent process, but the results speak for themselves. In 2010, Manchin twice pushed for public ed reform, and twice his efforts came to naught.
Undoubtedly, we'll see the same process at work as Tomblin gets his prison overcrowding bill (SB371) passed into law.
Some may say that both the education and corrections bills address small portions of multi-faceted issues. Indeed, the biggest contributor to prison overcrowding may be the state's draconian sentences for crimes.
However, Tomblin is pragmatic enough (and has been at this game long enough) to know that getting incremental change, session after session, is frequently preferable to no change at all.
Given the threats made over the bill to nullify city gun ordinances (HB2760), I was briefly startled to get word midweek that a senator from the Eastern Panhandle was in the hospital.
However, it wasn't Government Organization Chairman Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson, who has been the target of the threats, but Sen. Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, who checked into CAMC for surgery to correct a kidney ailment.
Snyder, meanwhile, said the threatening calls and emails have tailed off of late, but is concerned they will gear up again after crossover day on April 3, the last day the Senate can act on Senate bills, and the 50th day of the 60-day session.
Given that Government Organization normally meets only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and given that neither Snyder nor Senate Judiciary Chairman Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha, is enthusiastic about the bill, if it isn't on the Gov Org agenda April 9 -- that should be a signal that its chances for passage are in serious doubt.

Funding Opportunities
For Graduate Students
We provide support for IU graduate students whose work focuses on China, Japan, or Korea through fellowships and travel grants.
In addition, for graduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences, several fellowships and travel grants are available. IU's Office of the Vice President for International Affairs and the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) offer grant programs and exchange opportunities for graduate students. The Grad Grants Center, located on the 10th floor (room 1052E) of the Herman B Wells Library, also provides free, centralized information on fellowships, internships, and grants, as well as consultants to assist students with online grant database searches and writing grant proposals.
Additional fellowship information is posted outside our main office at Memorial Hall West 207 and at the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures in Goodbody Hall 255.

- Maximum award amount is $300 and is meant to supplement other sources of support, which applicants are strongly encouraged to seek.
- The College Graduate Office and the Graduate and Professional Student Organization (GPSO) also have conference travel funds for graduate students. Applying for these and other travel funds strengthens the EASC Conference Travel Grant application.
- Each graduate student is eligible to receive only one travel grant per 12-month period (October to September).
Application Deadlines
September 25, 2013 (for travel from September 2013 to January 2014)
- February 2, 2014 (for travel from February to May 2014)
Applications must include:
- Application form (PDF)
- One-page abstract of conference paper
- One-page CV (including G.P.A. of graduate work at IU)

These fellowships support graduate training of students who plan to pursue careers in college or university teaching, government service, or other fields in which knowledge of foreign languages and cultures is required. The availability of FLAS awards in academic year 2014-15 is contingent upon receipt of grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education.

Applicants whose field of study or career goals have this global component should apply for fellowships through both centers.
Applicants must demonstrate academic excellence and a commitment to using the language as part of long-term academic or professional career goals.
Acceptance of a FLAS award will be counted against your eligibility for other types of financial aid already processed by the IU Office of Student Financial Assistance and may result in a reduction of other aid previously disbursed for the same award period.
To apply for both an academic-year FLAS fellowship and a summer FLAS fellowship, students must submit a separate application to each program.
Eligibility Requirements:
- U.S. citizens and permanent residents
- Eligible modern East Asian languages: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (priority for those studying at 3rd-year level or higher)

- Eyup Mosque and Mausoleum
Eyup Mosque and Mausoleum, Istanbul
The Eyüp Sultan Mosque is the holiest site in Istanbul and one of the most sacred places in the Islamic world.
The mosque was erected by Mehmet the Conqueror over the tomb of Halid bin Zeyd Ebu Eyyûb (known as Eyüp Sultan), the standard bearer for the Prophet Mohammed as well as the last survivor of his inner circle of trusted companions.
It is popularly accepted that while serving as commander of the Arab forces during the siege of 668 to 669, Eyüp was killed and buried on the outskirts of the city. One of the conditions of peace after the Arab siege was that the tomb of Eyüp be preserved.
The burial site was "discovered" during Mehmet the Conqueror's siege on the city, although the tomb is mentioned in written accounts as early as the 12th century.
A little village of tombs mushroomed on the spot by those seeking Eyüp Sultan's intervention in the hereafter, and it's still considered a privilege to be buried in the nearby cemeteries.
The Girding of the Sword ceremony was traditionally held here. In this Ottoman enthronement rite, Osman Gazi's sword was passed on, maintaining continuity within the dynasty as well as creating a connection with the Turk's early ideal of Holy War.
What to See
Eyüp is a popular spot animated by the small bazaar nearby, crowds relaxing by the spray of the fountains, and little boys in blue and white satin celebrating their impending circumcisions. Unfortunately, it's a natural magnet for beggars as well.
The baroque mosque replaces the original that was destroyed in the earthquake of 1766, but the real attraction here is the türbe, a sacred burial site that draws masses of pilgrims waiting in line to stand in the presence of the contents of the solid silver sarcophagus or meditate in prayer.

Show Detailed Description
Phase II studies with docetaxel in first line - and second line treatment of SCLC demonstrated that docetaxel is an active agent in these patient groups. Therefore docetaxel seems suitable for evaluation in combination with other cytotoxic drugs active in this disease. A phase II study in previously untreated patients with SCLC shows that the combination docetaxel and cisplatin/carboplatin is an active and well tolerated regimen in extensive SCLC.

The ACP (AGI Certificate Program) is a ten-week program composed of four three-credit courses and associated one-credit practicum labs, plus a one credit seminar series. The four courses and labs are offered sequentially in two-week blocks to provide a coherent development of the science and applications of AGI IR/SAR. Since the ACP is centrally funded by the NGA, neither the students nor the employers incur any tuition costs for enrollment in the ACP. Enrollment in the ACP is open to all DoD/IC military, civilian, and contractor personnel.
OMEGA (Online Mode of Education for Geospatial Analyst) is the online component of AFIT's MASINT/AGI curriculum. Currently, web-based versions of the classroom courses offered under the ACP are available online to all DoD/IC military, civilian, and contractor personnel. Students enrolled in OMEGA courses must pay tuition in accordance with AFIT Tuition policies.
The MMPWC (MASINT Mission Partner Workforce Campaign) is an innovative approach to developing new civilian technical experts within the MASINT/AGI community. Industries submit qualified personnel for consideration for DAGSI scholarships to attend AFIT as they work towards a graduate degree. The student continues to work part-time for their employer while attending AFIT. AFIT tuition and fees are covered by the DAGSI scholarship.

Deep in John Fox's head-coaching past, there were moments when he allowed his top pass rusher to line up on offense, as he did in Carolina for Julius Peppers in 2004.
And last year, the Broncos let defensive tackle Mitch Unrein line up at fullback — and promptly catch a touchdown pass, living out the dream many defensive players hold deep in their hearts.
So there's precedent for giving Von Miller a shot on offense, an idea the third-year player threw out to the media last week.
But there's no envy in Miller's heart that Unrein got the big chance to grab a pass from Peyton Manning first during the win over Tampa Bay last December — mainly because Unrein had the pressure that set up Miller for a touchdown off an interception return that same day.
"Mitch was a catalyst to me getting my first interception. I wasn't like, 'Aw man, that should've been me,'" Miller said. "People don't credit Mitch for my interception, because I think that was really his first sack of the season, but (Tampa Bay quarterback) Josh (Freeman) threw it to me. So I feel pretty good for Mitch."
Nevertheless, Miller would love that chance in the future.
"I want to get my conditioning up so I can play offense, too," he said with a chuckle. "Whatever they give me the ball at. I'll block first. I'll play a little bit of receiver, tight end. I feel like it's the same way on defense — whatever they want me to do, I'll do it. I'll try to get it done."
There's only one thing on offense he can't do.
"I can't throw at all," he said, laughing.

Defeat Diabetes
Foundation 150 153rd Ave, Suite 300 Madeira Beach, FL 33708 |
University of VA Finds Possible Diabetes CurePosted: Thursday, September 07, 2006After two years of work Dr. Jerry Nadler has successfully reversed the course of type 1 Diabetes. Nadler, who is chief of the University of Virginia Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, has combined two drugs, which have already been tested on humans separately. One, lisofylline, is an experimental drug that stops the body from killing its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The other drug, exendin-4, promotes the growth of new pancreatic cells. "We had the idea that if you put the two together, something that stops the destruction of the cells and something that causes the growth of the cells, they would work better together than they would alone," Nadler said. It is the body's destruction of insulin producing cells in type 1 diabetes that makes a person's body unable to regulate blood sugar, potentially resulting in complications such as blindness, nerve damage, kidney failure or heart disease. Nadler's combination of drugs not only stopped pancreatic cells from being destroyed, but even allowed for new growth.Type 1 diabetes accounts for about 5 to 10 percent of all diabetes diagnoses but its targeted victims make the disease particularly tragic.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease with no single known cause or trigger.
The body recognizes the cells in the pancreas as being foreign, basically kills them and renders them unable to produce insulin.
What makes Nadler's treatment potentially so effective is that the two drugs he combined have very specific targets. While other general immunosuppressants can stop the immune system from destroying healthy tissue, they also leave the body vulnerable to other infections. Lisofylline, so far, has been shown to target only that specific pathway that leads to the destruction of cells in the pancreas.
Exendin-4 is equally specific. While it induces cell growth in the pancreas, Nadler said it has not been shown to cause uncontrolled cell growth, which could lead to tumors. "That's always a concern with anything," Nadler said. "But exendin-4 only causes very slow growth of the insulin producing cells." Another benefit of both drugs already being tested separately on people is that the process of switching over from using the drugs on animals to humans can be streamlined. While it normally takes a project five to 10 years to move from animal tests to human clinical trials, Nadler estimates that his drug combination could go to trial in as little as a year or two. There was another positive in Nadler's tests. After the treatment of the mice was stopped, the critters continued to produce insulin through the end of the experiment, up to 145 days after the medications were ceased. "That's quite a long time in an animal to have diabetes reversed," Nadler said. "It's exciting because the patients may not have to be on the medications very long." The next part of the project will be determining the duration of treatment and how much of each drug needs to be administered. "The minimum amount of medication you need, the better," Nadler said. He and his researchers will also be trying to determine how the treatment stops the body from destroying cells even after the medications are no longer used.
