Supplements Can Ease CDS
Aging is hard. It impacts vision, audition and mobility, creating ever steeper uphill battles for many senior dogs and cats in their later days.
As age advances, cognitive and behavioral status may likewise decline.1 These dogs exhibiting disorientation, diminished activity, reduced social interactions, sleeping changes, growing anxiety or aggression, and new onset house soiling may be facing cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS).2
CDS remains a diagnosis of exclusion because many causes of organ and systemic dysfunction can mimic it. Most notably, the common geriatric afflictions of spinal pain and compressive myelopathy often go unrecognized or misinterpreted.3 Taking the time to gently palpate the myofascia and skeletal components associated with the back and neck can give vital differential diagnostic information about the nature and location of back or neck pain without having to force the neck or back into uncomfortable and unnatural ranges of motion.
Simply evaluating reflexes aids in the determination of the level of neurological embarrassment, i.e., whether the cause is an upper or lower motor neuron lesion, based on the presence, degree or absence of crossed extensor reflexes, anal tone, conscious proprioception and muscle tone.
Furthermore, many common geriatric afflictions, such as neoplasia, infections, immune-mediated illness, organ dysfunction and endocrinopathy, can change the way a dog or cat behaves, as can pain.4 Therefore, ruling out non-CDS etiologies of fear, tension, aggression and altered responsiveness to stimuli becomes paramount to successful and early intervention.
Behavioral Signs
Behavioral screening questionnaires serve as important aids in diagnosing. A marketing research summary indicated that 75 percent of caregivers of dogs over 7 years old noticed one or more behavioral signs of CDS, but only 12 percent voluntarily reported these changes to their veterinarians. Thus, veterinarians should engage their clients in conversations about behavioral changes related to aging.5-6
The aging canine brain exhibits strong similarities to its human counterpart, Alzheimer's disease. Brain deterioration takes place in both species in the cerebral cortex as well as the hippocampus, the seat of learning and memory. Alterations include cortical atrophy, ventricular widening and beta-amyloid plaque formation.7 Oxidative stress potentially promotes the formation of beta-amyloid plaques by inciting microglia or macrophages to emit neuropathogenic cytokines.
Nutraceuticals can improve neurotransmitter levels and function, modulate inflammation and lessen free-radical burden through antioxidant activity.8 In so doing, these products may slow the inevitable neuropathological march toward dementia by maintaining membrane fluidity, restoring neurotransmitter levels and limiting mitochondrial exposure to the damaging influence of free radicals.
Oral SAMe Helps
Oral s-Adenosylmethionine, or SAMe, alleviates signs of age-related cognitive decline in dogs as well as humans. According to one double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, SAMe-treated dogs showed significant improvements in activity and awareness of their surroundings without serious adverse effects.9 How it accomplishes this remains unknown, but the clinical effects might stem from SAMe's ability to improve monoamine neurotransmitters levels and metabolism, membrane fluidity, and receptor function. By fostering neuronal membrane fluidity, receptor proteins can more readily move through within the lipid bilayer and couple with neurotransmitters, facilitating neurotransmission.
Phosphatidylserine (PS), a phospholipid, resides within the neural membrane and likewise improves its fluidity. The neuroprotection afforded by PS may further improve learning and memory by stimulating acetylcholine release and modulating acetylcholinesterase activity. PS increases the synthesis and release of dopamine and inhibits the age-related loss of both NMDA and hippocampal nerve growth factor receptors.10 The omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) generate neuroprotective metabolites and work synergistically with PS to improve cognition.11-12
Although a recent study found no benefit for human Alzheimer's patients ingesting Ginkgo biloba,13 an uncontrolled clinical trial spanning 10 veterinary practices in Europe found statistically significant positive benefits in dogs with geriatric behavioral disturbances.14
Ginkgo Benefits
Over a third of dogs were considered by the investigators to be completely free of clinical signs after four weeks. A 2008 report on a crossover clinical trial indicated improvement in short-term memory performance in aged beagles who received Ginkgo in conjunction with other brain-benefiting compounds.15
Nutritional antioxidants counter the oxidative damage to proteins manifested by aging brains, and dietary manipulation can improve cognitive performance.16 The mitochondrial cofactors alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and l-carnitine counterbalance reactive oxygen species released by aging mitochondria. Diets or supplements containing ALA and l-carnitine elevate cellular concentrations of these required cofactors and restore mitochondrial efficacy and limit oxidative damage to RNA.
Adding foods to the diet such as nuts and oils (for vitamin E) and fruits (to supply additional vitamin C) can supply the components required to formulate the complex antioxidant network that achieves maximal in vivo effectiveness.17 Antioxidant-rich flavonoid- and carotenoid-containing foodstuffs are appearing more frequently in dog food, as evidenced by the inclusion of spinach flakes, tomato pomace, carrot granules and citrus pulp.18
If geriatric dogs with cognitive conditions respond favorably to diet and supplements, the question arises about when antioxidant supplementation should start, and if supplementation can be prophylactic.19
On the other hand, one might ask, "Why wait?" Combining antioxidant-fortified diets along with behavioral enrichment encompassing social, physical and mentally challenging activities throughout life may be the perfect prescription not only for healthy aging but for healthy living as well.20 <HOME>

How do I make MooFAQ work with Ninja Shadowbox module?
- Details
- Hits: 1285
The shadowbox extension actually gives the option of using one of 4 different javascript libraries, so just try each one.
A user named Elaine Lee said that "there was a conflict when I had it set to 'jquery' but not when I had it set to 'EXT'. I also cleaned up some of the unnecessary javascript files being used."
We advise to all choose MooTools when possible for a few reasons:
- You will avoid Javascript incompatibility. MooTools is the Joomla! default Javascript Library.
- If you have too many Javascript files and libraries your site will take longer to load.
- Our extensions only use MooTools.

IAAF to launch World Relays competition
LONDON, England (AP) — The international track and field federation plans to launch a new IAAF World Relays competition in the Bahamas in May 2014 that will include a 4x1,500-metre event.
The IAAF says in a statement yesterday the two-day competition will "bring together the world's best athletes," in a schedule that includes the 4x100 and 4x400-metre races — traditionally contested at the World Championships and Olympics — as well as 4x200, 4x800 and the 4x1,500.
IAAF president Lamine Diack says "the wonderful athletics competition in London has not only reinforced the appeal of our sport, but specifically the popularity of relay races, which the spectators find dramatic and exciting".
The event will be open to all IAAF member countries and have prize money of about $1.4 million.

"It has been a long-time coming for us as a couple," Ryan Wilson, executive director of South Carolina Equality, told the Washington Blade on Thursday. "Having the legal recognition for us as a couple is really important to us."
Wilson, who grew up in Fallston in Harford County, met Shehan Welihindha in Detroit in 2008 during the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's annual Creating Change conference.
Welihindha, who is from Sri Lanka, is studying for a Ph.D. in public health at the University of South Carolina. He is the part-time coordinator for the Harriet Hancock LGBT Center's program that seeks to prevent HIV among young gay and bisexual men in Columbia, S.C., and the surrounding area.
Wilson proposed to Welihindha in 2009 on-stage during the annual South Carolina Pride as former "American Idol" contestant Frenchie Davis and thousands of others watched.
South Carolina will not recognize the couple's Maryland marriage because voters in 2006 approved a constitutional amendment that bans nuptials between same-sex couples. The Defense of Marriage Act also prohibits Wilson from sponsoring Welihindha for his green card — he has been able to remain in the United States through a series of work and student visas.
"We feel now's the time," Welihindha told the Blade. "We've been together for five years and even though it's not recognized in South Carolina, we feel [as] though getting married in a place that recognizes us as being equal as everyone else and coming back to South Carolina would be inspiring to the community there. It's still something we feel is going to have a symbolic meaning to us because of that."
Wilson and Welihindha are among the dozens of same-sex couples who are expected to marry across Maryland on the first day gays and lesbians can legally marry in the state.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will attend same-sex weddings that will begin at Baltimore City Hall at 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 1. Several gay and lesbian couples are also expected to tie the knot in Cumberland just after midnight on New Year's Day.
More than a dozen same-sex couples are expected to get married at the gay-owned Black Walnut Point Inn on Tilghman Island in Talbot County on the Eastern Shore on Jan. 1. Paint Branch Unitarian Universalist Church in Adelphi will host what it describes as a "wedding reception" on Jan. 6 that will celebrate the same-sex marriage law.
As for Wilson and Welihindha, they said they are both excited and nervous as their wedding day approaches.
The couple had considered tying the knot in D.C. after same-sex marriage became legal in the nation's capital in 2010, but Welihindha noted "Ryan and I got really excited" about the prospect of nuptials for gays and lesbians in Maryland "because that's Ryan's home state."
"For us, immigration equality is kind of an important issue because my partner is from Sri Lanka originally and came over here to study and has not been able to get a green card. And living in South Carolina our relationship isn't recognized at all," Wilson added. "So getting a marriage license from a place like Maryland where I grew up is the first step along a path towards really recognizing our relationship. Of course we want to sort of be ready in case the courts rule in favor of marriage equality. We've been looking for the place to do it [and] when Maryland finally decided in favor of equality we decided this was the right time and the right place."

I'll be honest with you - this article began as a discussion of whether or not the Houston Astros are the worst team in baseball. They have the worst record, which is a good place to start. They've been able to hit okay, but they haven't been able to pitch and they haven't been able to field, and the result is that it's the middle of June and their season's already a nightmare. They're 13 games behind a pair of co-division leaders, and their run differential is even worse than the Twins'. It's worse than the Athletics, Dodgers and Padres combined.
But it's easy to be negative, and it's easy to be critical. And as I read up on the Astros, I decided I wanted to focus on a bright spot instead. Hunter Pence is slugging .502. Brett Wallace's OBP is nearly .400. Mark Melancon has three times as many strikeouts as walks. And Bud Norris has a 3.48 ERA.
Bud Norris. As soon as I saw him, I knew I'd found my guy. In what's generally been a pitching wasteland, Norris has only upped his game this season and thrust himself into the NL's second tier of starting pitchers. He's not Roy Halladay, and he's not Cole Hamels, but in terms of performance, he's hanging out with guys like Derek Lowe and Shaun Marcum. Already a pretty good pitcher, Norris has turned himself into a better one just as everything around him has fallen apart.
How much better is he? I think the following table paints the right picture:
Norris' strikeouts are up this season, and his walks are down, and - surprise! - that's led to his becoming a more successful starter. Baseball is easy!
A bigger question might be how he's done this. The first thing one might notice is that Norris has trimmed his walks against left-handed hitters, embracing more of a pitch-to-contact approach. Norris had struggled with lefties in the past, and while he hasn't exactly dominated them in 2011, the important numbers are sexier.
But, interestingly, nothing about Norris' pitch mix against lefties seems to have changed much over the years. At least not when compared to how he's changed against righties. A split for you:
Norris vs. RHB, 2010: 53% fastballs
Norris vs. RHB, 2011: 45% fastballs
And, making up the difference:
Norris vs. RHB, 2010: 38% sliders
Norris vs. RHB, 2011: 50% sliders
When facing right-handed batters this season, Norris has leaned incredibly heavily on his slider, to the point at which it's become his primary pitch. The following split is not a coincidence:
Norris vs. RHB, 2010: 21% strikeouts
Norris vs. RHB, 2011: 30% strikeouts
Norris' slider is a weapon, and he's used it to keep same-handed hitters obedient. This leap forward against righties doesn't explain Norris' entire improvement, but it does explain a lot of it. When half the hitters a pitcher faces can't touch him simply because of the side of the plate that they stand on, that pitcher's going to have an easier path to success.
Now, a word of caution - there's some evidence out there that throwing a ton of sliders puts a pitcher at an increased risk of getting hurt. Norris has dealt with elbow problems in the minors in the past, as well as shoulder problems in the Majors, so he hasn't exactly been the picture of health, and his current pitching style may not be in the best interests of his body.
But we should never try to make conclusive statements about a pitcher's injury risk, and what's most apparent here is that Bud Norris has improved. At 26, Norris has kicked his game up a level, and while it's unclear if the Astros will have any success any time soon, if they do, Norris will probably be a big part of it.

Accused call girl killer faces jury in trial
Ezekiel Gilbert claims woman took money but did not provide 'service'
SAN ANTONIO - He said he was lonely that Christmas Eve morning in 2009 and answered a Craigsist escort service advertisement on the internet.
"I was looking for someone to come over to basically have sex," Ezekiel Gilbert testified during his murder trial on Tuesday.
Gilbert is accused of killing Lenora Frago, 23, who worked for the escort service.
He testified that he called the escort service and asked Frago explicit questions prior to agreeing to pay her $150 for a visit to his apartment.
"'Are we going to be intimate?'" he said he asked. "'Are we going to have sex?' She said, 'Yes, I'll handle that.'"
But Gilbert testified that she left his apartment following a 20-minute visit without having sex with him.
He testified that as she left with her pimp, he confronted the couple.
"I said, 'I'd like my money back or we can call the police,'" Gilbert said. "He said, 'If you want your money back, come and take it from me.'"
Gilbert said that as he turned to get his cell phone from his car to call police, the couple began to drive off. He said he fired two shots at their car from an assault rifle.
"I was trying to shoot the rear tires out on the vehicle so that I could stop them and call police and get everything squared away," he testified.
Frago was struck in the neck by a bullet fragment and was left paralyzed from the neck down. She died the following July from complications from her injuries.
During cross examination on Tuesday, Gilbert admitted that he never mentioned that he was trying to get his money back when he was interviewed by police the day of the shooting.

Tift College of Education celebrated its articulation agreement with the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education at a ceremony on Oct. 17 in the Atlanta Administration and Conference Center. The College signed the articulation agreement with the Department last year, making it easier for teachers and potential educators to progress from entry-level certificate and associate programs and continue on to bachelor's degree programs at the College.
Differences in accreditation and affiliation structures among teacher education programs can make it difficult for learners to move forward with their education, this agreement will help alleviate those difficulties. "We are pleased that we could facilitate an agreement between the College and DTAE to establish guidelines for a seamless transfer of credit for education and some general coursework for candidates wishing to further their education," said Dr. Penny L. Elkins, associate dean and Fred L. Miles Chair of Educational Leadership. Candidates graduating with an associate's degree in education from an accredited DTAE institution should encounter a more streamlined process should they decide to continue in a bachelor's degree program at the Tift College of Education. Candidates must still meet application requirements and satisfy all general education requirements specific to the University.
This articulation agreement comes on the heels of the College's successful new early care and education baccalaureate program. In response to the increasing demand for educated childcare professionals, and familiar with Tift's reputation for innovation, the Georgia Professional Standards Commission asked the College to lead the development of curricula to meet certification standards for birth through five programs.
The Professional Standards Commission and Georgia's Department of Early Care and Learning have given the College $680,000 over the past three years in support of Mercer's Early Care and Education program. The new articulation agreement will be of great value to childcare providers moving through a professional development system by providing a systematic approach for collaborative, inclusive, accessible education programs.

Mike Milbury and Tim Connolly have a bit of a history. Milbury drafted Connolly in 1999 when he was GM of the Islanders and then subsequently shipped him off to Buffalo two years later in a draft day trade. I have no idea what things were like behind the scenes, but after tonight, I think I've got a pretty good idea.
Thanks to NHL GameCenter — the best invention ever — I am currently watching the Bruins/Flyers game tonight. Milbury is the studio analyst for NESN, the Bruins network. He's flanked by a nice young lady who is the studio host, Kathryn Tappen.
During the second intermission, they're going through highlights from games around the league. You would think things would be pretty tame. I know, it's Milbury, but we're talking about simple highlights here. Well, when they get to highlights of the Buffalo game, they play the video of Connolly's goal, which opened the scoring. Tappen decides to ask Milbury for some comments on Connolly and he responds in the way we've kind of come to expect:
"Yeah, when he's not being a self-centered little dick [he's pretty good.]" "Tim Connolly, a former fifth overall pick…when he's not injured or acting like a self-centered little dick he's a very good player"
Live TV and folks who don't have any internal mute buttons, a match made in heaven! A big thanks to NESN for giving Milbury a mic when he's not on NBC or CBC. You're keeping the masses entertained!
I'm currently banging my head against the wall for not pressing 'record' on my video capture program, but as soon as video surfaces on YouTube, it'll be here. For now, I'm going to go have some Advil.
UPDATE is here.

Thought it was time for another guitar. Just came out of the shop today. This is number 049, and my 50th is on the bench. Not bad for being in my 37th month of this. Whoo! Surrounded by lots of jewelry boxes and other little items…
This unit features Ambrosia Maple, as you can clearly see! I thought this was one of the finer pieces of Ambrosia Maple I have come across, and I have enough for two three more projects of some sort. Pickguard is made of Bolivian Rosewood with a clear red stain to simulate the red tortoise shell pickguards that used to be used by Fender years ago.
The entire guitar is finished in ten coats of hand rubbed nitro lacquer, with a Natural Minwax stain as an initial oil/grain popper. The back of the neck is finished in five coats of satin nitro to allow for faster hand action. Shiny finishes make a player's hand stick to one place after a while.
The neck is maple on maple.
For all you savvy guitar players, this features my Tsunami SUT wiring system. In this case, twin Fender single coils with a Kent Armstrong humbucker in the middle. Wiring is, from position 1 to 5: Neck, Neck/Bridge(both singles), Bridge, Bridge/Humbucker, Humbucker.
Thanks for lookin'!

That's one of the most beautiful guitars I've seen. When I started carving gunstocks, I made a test stock from some ambrosia maple I hadn't used for anything else just to duplicate a pattern I didn't have. I loved the natural camo look the stripes and color changes gave it as well as the deep rich polish maple has when it's sanded to 1000 grit and polished. Since then ambrosia maple has been requested almost as much as walnut. It sure makes a beautiful guitar body too. Thanks for sharing.

very interesting (and nice) build. I've never heard a HB in the middle position – do you happen to have any demo recordings that feature it?
#13 posted 675 days ago
Aaron: well, there is one video on Youtube of me playing a similar setup. Tsunami SUT Ultra is the name of the video, but the camera auto corrected for the sound. There is another, better one, a Cedar telecaster I built well over a year ago, that the guy correctly shows off the sounds. They can be reached through my website. Just scroll down the front page and they are listed. I've actually built about ten of this configuration, and it sells mainly to people playing in cover bands, who want a wide variety of sounds with one guitar. The wiring and pickup configuration was developed when I got challenged to do a "one guitar for a gig" by a session musician from Nashville, almost two years ago now.

LAWTON, Okla_Some new faces
on Lawton's
police force Friday. A team of police cadets graduated making the Lawton Police Department
eight officers stronger. Each officer completed a rigorous 23 week training
course where they learned life saving fighting skills while shooting, running,
grappling and even swimming. Many officers including a single female graduate
said they weren't sure this day would come.
It was her
third attempt at becoming a Lawton
police officer. Now, Officer Mary Lile said she never gave up over the past two
years. All along her husband, a Lawton
firefighter, stood by, encouraging her. She said today is a special day for
their entire family. Both she and her husband happy to be public servants
represented by the badges they wear every day at work.
Her biggest supporter
is also a known rival to the police department, a firefighter.
"Of course
they tease me I'm the other side, of course he teased me."
He is also
happened to be Mary's biggest cheerleader. Firefighter Tim Lile said he never
doubted his wife and knew one day she'd wear a badge.
"She's not
one to every quit, so even if she didn't make it on this year, she was going to
try next year, the more times you tell her no the harder she's going to try,
she's going to get it done."
Who better to
pin that badge on his wife than Tim himself despite being mistaken for a police
officer, but only momentarily. Mary admits the journey wasn't easy as she
overcame several obstacles and underwent a transformation.
"Being the
smallest one I had to stay up with the guys. I lost 30lbs. Three feet I cut off
three feet of hair. It could be used as weapon against me and it's hard to run
with that much hair in PT."
Tim said he and
his wife are eager to work with one another despite their occupations.
actually have a really great relationship with the police department, we are
always happy to see each other out on calls so this strengthens that
A bond Mary
said may be passed down to their three children.
"One wants
to be a firefighter, one wants to be a cop and one a nurse."
Mary said her first day on the job will be Sunday night and that she's a
little nervous but eager to begin her new career.

The Colts are leaving three players home as they head to Jacksonville.
Cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Jerraud Powers, and tight end Coby Fleener did not travel Wednesday. Interim coach and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians already had said none of them would play.
Losing Davis (knee) and Powers (toe) leaves Indianapolis (5-3) without either starting cornerback against the Jaguars (1-7). Cassius Vaughn replaced Davis in the starting lineup Sunday against Miami, and Darius Butler replaced Powers when he got hurt during the Dolphins game.
Fleener is out with a left shoulder injury.
Five other players listed as questionable did make the trip - receiver Donnie Avery (hip), running back Donald Brown (knee), right tackle Winston Justice (knee), outside linebacker Robert Mathis (back) and center Samson Satele (back).

On Oakland pitcher Dallas Braden:
"He's pretty good, and really aggressive with the fastball. He has a hard slider, a really good move to first base, controls the running game well. I find him to be very competitive. He's a good young pitcher."
On the "white out" planned for the post-game trip to Miami:
"I've already sprayed myself with Scotch Guard. It's something fun. I was so challenged based on what we did last year with the Ed Hardy road trip and the 'Express Yourself with a Hat' road trip and all the different themes we had last year. So you have to get into that topper mode, so I thought going to Miami, why not all white? It promotes camaraderie."
On bringing up David Price or Wade Davis, and the struggles of Scott Kazmir:
"We've been trying so many different things to help [Kazmir] out, whether it's physical or conversational, drill work, it's been very difficult. When we feel David is ready, that's when David will be here, and when we feel Davis is ready, that's when Davis will be here. It's an ongoing discussion, but our main concern is getting Kaz right."
On interleague play, which the Rays begin tomorrow against the Marlins:
"I'm not a big huge fan, but I'm not totally against it. I thought it was an interesting concept, but [I'm not a big fan of] the fact that it causes us to play so many games within our division. I would not be opposed to just playing our own league the whole year."

Who knew aside from folks on the inner world of documentary film that Ken Burns had an equal partner on his most recent epic documentary series?
Not me. But it seems that he has a female partner whose name -- Lynn Novick -- is next to his on his most recent films. His new film Prohibition is listed as a film by Ken Burns & Lynn Novick. But still how come all the films are called Ken Burns films?
Ken Burns is a documentary filmmaking icon, when you hear that x is a Ken Burns film you know that it will be good. Damn he even has a page on the PBS site and this is how it starts:
For over 25 years, filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films that are unafraid of controversy and tragedy. Use this web site to explore the body of Burns' work and to learn more about the subjects of his remarkable films.
It goes without saying that a film does not get made by itself. Mr. Burns has a long time team that has been working with him and many of those names we will only see in the credits. But when I read the NY Times story this weekend it reminded me of what happens so many times to women. How women become invisible.
There are a multitude of reasons why women become invisible while visible. Some don't have the same desire or craving for the limelight. Sometimes it's easier because there needs to be a brand, a singular face. But I don't subscribe to the notion that women don't need the visibility or the credit. Women do need to be visible so that other women (and men) know that they are there. So that they are part of the conversation and the dialogue and the creativity in the public sphere.
Here's a perfect example of what I mean from the beginning of the NY Times piece:
AT a recent press luncheon in Manhattan to promote both the PBS documentary "Prohibition" and the HBO series "Boardwalk Empire," a fictionalized treatment of the era, all attention was on two men at the head of one very long table: Terence Winter, the HBO show's creator, and Ken Burns, the PBS filmmaker.
Then it went on to describe the woman -- Ms. Novick -- standing off on the side as Mr. Burns' equal collaborator on his new PBS documentary.
Two men setting the stage for a discussion of prohibition. Not taking anything away from Mr. Burn' work, but the invisibility of Ms. Novick is just not acceptable, especially because the film is hers too.
But the point is even if they are partners Mr. Burns wanted to make clear that he is the brand and the name and that some partners are just, well, a little bit better.
While some partners are more equal than others — i.e., and I think she would agree with this, I have the final creative say if there were a disagreement
You are either a partner and an equal or you are not. Think about that logic. Think about how you could explain that to your teenager. Please. I find that comment so condescending.
But the good news is that while we have been seeing Ms. Novick's filmmaking for some time, we finally get to see her step out in public and take some of her earned credit for her work. It's just taken too long.

Sophie B. Hawkins Biography
Source: http://www.sodiumfire.com/biography/index.html
BORN: New York, NY [Manhattan]
My childhood was Huckleberry Finn in Manhattan. My Mississippi was Central Park. My raft was my skateboard. And my Jim was the songs in my soul that I was someday going to write. The Tom Sawyers came and went, eventually, to Princeton, Harvard or Yale.
At 14, I met an African drummer who taught me all sorts of African and Brazilian instruments, songs and dances. He took me to Black Orpheus and the National Dance Ballet of Senegal. He took me uptown to Mickels to hear Art Blakey and Max Roach, and downtown to Tramps at four in the morning to hear Big Joe Turner sing the way-blue blues.
My sister wanted to kill me because when I was home I was practicing drums, drums and more drums, and when I wasn't home--during the overlapping wee hours--I was experiencing the mystic bliss of love, life, music and tequila sunrise.
I never saw my friends again. I began to find a new family in the sensual world of cocoa butter, lanolin and goat skins soaking in the bathtub. I only wanted to play music, which began to branch out into jazz, vibraphone and classical marimba. Milt Jackson became my hero.
I showed up for one class during my junior and half a senior year at Trinity High School and that was English Literature with Miss France. Mr. Herland, my history teacher, said I could make it into Harvard and should, but I wanted to go to the Manhattan School of Music. So I did.
I stayed a year at the Manhattan School of Music and absolutely loved it. I majored, of course, in percussion. I was also playing drums in a couple of bands, one of which I particularly dug called the "Pink Men," and I finally began to write those songs I had always meant to.
I sung them from behind the drum set in bars like the Blue Hose Cafe, Kenny's Castaways and all those other dives, until one night a guy came up to me and asked if I wanted to record them in his home studio on Seventh Street and Avenue D. And I did. He gave me the keys to his house, a brief technical lesson, and let me work alone in his studio while he drove his cab on the graveyard shift. I showed up after midnight and left before six a.m., our gossamer paths never crossing, until I had completed a 50 song demo tape. Somewhere in all of this I had loved, lost and left music school.
Many bands and instruments later, I found myself acting in off-off Broadway plays, writing and performing music for established artists on the raw, exotic irreverent downtown scene, playing drums for dance classes at NYU and working as a coat check at Orso on 46th Street. I was very happy.
One night a guy waltzes in and I check his coat. He likes my voice. He asks if I can sing and I say 'yes,' pulling out my tattered demo tape. He takes it, sincerely, and tells me his name is Marc Cohn.
Next thing, I get a call to come down and sing a jingle for Nestle White Chocolate-it's called appropriately "Sweet Dreams." I get a hunger check in the mail than I ever knew existed, I get residuals, I get in the union, and I get another call.
It's Bryan Ferry from London. I had never been further away from NYC then Cape Cod. He wants me to audition for his upcoming tour, and my demo tape is playing in the background of his limousine. It's a song called "Meet Me On The Rooftop." What does he want me to play on this damn tour? Maybe percussion, some drums, how about singing a few backgrounds?
I run out and get all of his other albums--I only had Avalon--and arrange vibraphone and marimba parts for all of his songs, figuring that's going to be my most original contribution. I spend 12 hours a day practicing for this gig. I show up in a Laura Ashley dress with my hair up and he tells Andy Newmark that I remind him of Maggie Thatcher.
He keeps me on for two months, gives me a bonus, then politely fires me. I get another call.
It's Ralph, he grabbed my tape from the jingle house and heard "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" on his Walkman while riding the F train to Brooklyn. He thinks I should get a record deal. He thinks he can help. He does.
I sign to Columbia and make a record, and then another, and now this one, Timbre, which I produced as well as the usual written-and-performed by. I'm proud of this record, very proud. I fought hard and long to be able to express my musical vision this clearly and purely, and I'm more excited than ever about my path as a musician, writer, visual artist and force of nature.
I'm learning to play the cello now and working on a novel. I moved to California. My friend Gigi made a documentary about me which is doing very well. We're working on another movie (Beyond City Limits). I'm also studying Hebrew, but I'm not part of the Kabala clique in this town--I'd rather read it on my own.
This album is dedicated to a social cause (environmental groups around the world), and that makes me happy to promote it. A percentage of sales is going to this cause. YAY!

The Voice of Sophie B. Hawkins | Reviewer: Paul Castillo | 8/30/10
I am baffled by the lack of peoples ability to speak up about Sophie. Of course the music is beautiful, but I find it strange that there are not others like me talking about how much her voice is Angelic. Her voice comes from heaven. I can listen to her voice for hours...I'll bet there isen't a song she could out perform in voice alone. I realize is all debatable. -Paul C.
Pooka Shells at the Conga Room | Reviewer: brian | 8/6/10
I have always enjoyed and understood Sophie's music ever since Damn was released, yet I was a closet listener since She wasn't the sort of Music my Football teammates and friends listened too, I would of got some hazing for listening to such "Girl y" Music, for sure!! One night while staying at a friends beach House in Encinitas I was reading the local Entertainment Section and saw that Sophie was playing the Belly Up Bar in Cardiff by the Sea, Ca. I can't explain how privileged I was to not only indulge in Sophie and the Band, but after the show She was polite enough to Sign Autographs and mingle a Bit after the Show, She was so Down to Earth and a joy to talk too, But when She asked if I was going to the show at the Conga Room in LA the next night I said I was unaware of the Show She wrote my name on her hand, and Said i would be on the guest list if interested! I grabbed my close Friend from San Pedro and told Her about Sophie and that She was adding us to the guest list for the nights Show, She made me take her some Cockleshells as a gift to always remember us by. At the Show Sophie introduced Me to the crowd and I presented Sophie with the Bracelet and asked Her to Sing my Favorite song from Whaler She was so distraught because Her Band was not prepared to play swing from limb to limb, She asked me to sing some of it as I started with the chorus She finished the Verse and all the Hair on my arms stood straight up, I luv you Sophie for being you and bringing your creativity to my Heart and Soul, from your Cockleshell Friends in LA, keep rockin it girl!! You will always be blessed for being you!

Sophie B. Hawkins is a force of nature. I can't thnk of enough superlatives. Her voice can be velvety smooth one moment, and in the next, sound like she is channeling Janis Joplin in full tilt boogie mode. Sophie is beautiful, sexy, has an engaging stage presence, plays guitar, keyboard, and African drums, writes great songs, and sings them with passion! I love this performer.

Jamal Branch commits to St. John's, won't visit Maryland
Jerome Branch just told me on the phone his son -- Jamal Branch -- has committed to St. John's.— Evan Daniels (@EvanDanielsFOX) January 10, 2012
I guess that settles that. I find it a bit peculiar that he left the St. John's visit and was planning to visit Maryland, then cut it short, changed his mind, and committed to SJU. 99.9% sure that it just means he liked SJU enough - particularly the space on its roster - that he was sure it was the place for him. That 0.1%, though ... well, one word: Harrisons? (As in either the staff wants to make sure there's room, or Branch was sufficiently wary of the playing time split.) Contrary to popular belief, I would've welcomed a Branch commitment and liked him much more than most of the point guards on Maryland's radar in the 2013 class. But I also won't fret over it while the Harrisons are still out there for the taking.

RotoWorld reports that Panthers MLB Jon Beason had, "3 screws placed in his left heel for an injury described as more bone bruise than tendinitis. The normal recovery time is 3 weeks, ... conditioning will be a hurdle, as he hasn't run in 2 months".
This report fails to make it clear if this was done during his Achilles surgery this week, or in addition to it. I hope it's not a 2nd surgery. It sounds like Beason may miss the 1st game, and hopefully no more. This bad news could turnout to be good news for MLB/OLB Thomas Williams, improving his chances of winning a roster spot as the 7th LB, though he's still not a roster lock. The Panthers could decide to count DE Eric Norwood as the 7th LB, or carry 10 DB's rather than 9. Thomas Williams along with 6th round pick OLB Lawrence Wilson had no stats in the 3rd game, but 3rd year OLB Jason Williams (6-1, 246, 4.44-40) had 2 assisted tackles. Though Jason Williams has more raw talent than the other Williams, he's still recovering from last seasons torn ACL, 2 games after starting in place of Thomas Davis.
Editor's note: To clarify, Beason did not have achilles surgery as previously reported. The reports of tendonitis were innacurate and this was to relieve what Beason called a 'bone bruise'.

Thornbury receive original Jack Russell painting of their ground
11:30am Friday 20th April 2012 in Sport By Rob Iles, Sports editor covering the Thornbury, Dursley and Yate areas
THORNBURY have received an original painting by former England wicketkeeper Jack Russell of their picturesque ground.
The artwork was donated to the club by former vice-president Jeremy Wormwell and was put up in their newly refurbished clubhouse following a presentation on Saturday.
Gloucestershire legend Russell, whose gallery is based in Chipping Sodbury, has done paintings of grounds from all over the world, including Lord's, The Adelaide Oval, and Trent Bridge, and added the Ship Field to his collection last year when he attended a game at the ground in Alveston.
Thornbury president David Allen, who also played for Gloucestershire and England, said: "Everyone was delighted with it."
"We put it up and it looks tremendous. I was impressed as everyone else has been.
"He painted it from our match last year against Bridgwater. You can see our players bowling and fielding, the pavilion and some spectators. It is a super painting.
"It was a commissioned painting (from Jeremy) to thank the club for the years of enjoyment his family had from it."
Thornbury were due to meet a Gloucestershire XI for their first game of the season on Saturday, but heavy rain got through the covers and soaked the pitch, causing the game to be cancelled.

Earlier on I went down to the city, to Woolworths to be exact. I went there with one thing in mind. To buy the Kangaroo Meat. I planned to cook something unusual for dinner tonight. We have had enough shares of chicken, pork, beef and fish in our cookings. Why not try something uniquely Australia, like Kangaroo? Besides I have just recently found out that it is available in this supermarket that I usually go to, Woolworths, and the meat is selling at very reasonable price, ranging not too far from chicken or pork. This, certainly is something exotic and rare if not found in Malaysia.
This shall be my first attempt in blogging my own cooking and share aheeeemmm own created recipe. Inspired by Chin Kian (click) of course, who used to blog about the food he cooked himself. I am nowhere near that pro yet, just beginnning to have a hang of it, and of course, for something as special (special to me since my first time eating !) as Kangaroo meat.
Here goes my original... ahemmm recipe for my Kangaroo dish. I shall name this, Pan Fry Kangaroo meat with Onion. For those of you who hate onion, find a whole Big Onion, and shove it down your throat as quickly as you can, and I hope you choke to death.
The ingredients:
Kangaroo Meat
Half of a big onion
Sweet Soy Sauce,
Light Soy Suace (I use this in most of my cooking anyway)
Chicken stock, (so that the meat will taste like chicken)
White Pepper,
As much salt and ajimonoto as you want (so you can have hair loss as soon as possible)
and the secret (ok, not so secret lar) ... Chinese Cooking Wine.
Please do not come to me and ask the exact amount and proportions of the ingredients, I just add bit by bit, until it "feels" enough and right. I trusted my guts. It worked so far. How do I know it worked? Because no one complained bout my cooking up till now, it may not be finger licking good, but it is home-cooked with much love and tender care of an ordinary boy. Ok, that does not sound right, but lets go to the cooking part.
1) Dice the onions, and set aside. I like to have huge chunks of onions. Its just my preference.
2) Slice the meat into small pieces. How small? How big? Up to you. I prefer to slice them smaller, so I can stir fry easier in the small pan I have.
3) Add all the seasoning ingredients into the meat and stir them well. I usually spend time stirring the meat, so that the seasoning will be even. Leave the seasoned meat for some time, the longer the better, but I left it for only half an hour.
4) Heat the pan and add cooking oil. Pan fry the seasoned meat until the colors turned light brown. Considering that I sliced the meat thinly, I only fried the meat for less than two minutes in medium heat. Do not ask me how long it should take, it all depends on the quantity of the meat and the size of the thickness. Use common sense people, God gave you that for many reasons.
5) Remove the meat from the pan. Add more oil to the pan if necessary. Throw in the diced onioins and stir in low heat until light brown. (I washed the pan after removing the meat, and reheated it again with oil for the second frying session)
6) Pour in the cooked meat from earlier, and stir them well with the onions. Add more cooking wine if you want too.
7) Well, the dish is ready to be served. You may used girlish garnishing like cucumbers or carrots, which I think having another two boy housemates eating it would be entirely unnecessary. Of course, if girls are coming over to dine, I would make it more presentable.
Ta da.....
How does it look??
The reasons why I fry the meat twice:
While frying the meat from raw, I turned the heat to medium high, and have it a slighty near burned (not burned yet, just NEAR) to achieve the special bbq-ed/roasted taste in the meat. This is extremely dangerous and requires contant stirring, if you do not want you meat to turn into charcoal.
If I added the onion too early, not only will they get seriously burned in the end, but the crunch would be lost. I love my onions to be crunchy, so in the second frying session, the meat is already cooked, and once added to the onion, the stirring does not take long. Nothing will be burned, and onion is as crunchy as ever.
It may seem like a lot of work, but for me, it is necessary.
Of course, the Kangaroo meat is served with other dishes like Ommelette with crispy anchovies and Vegie soup to make the meal complete, simple dishes that everyone knows how to make.
This is my first time having Kangaroo meat, though I have been here in Australia for nearly 2 years now. It is still considered as an exotic and rare meal, though the reason why selling the meat is legal is mainly due to the over-population of kangaroos in this land. If we cant get rid of them, why don't we eat them? We are on top of the food chain after all. I have never really noticed the meat on sale bafore... and it beats chicken and beef anytime.
So, how did it taste like you ask me?
It is red meat, with less than 2% fat in it, so the meat is quite lean. I have sliced them thin enough, and it was tender enough since I did not overfry the meat. I would say, it tasted somehere in between of beef and pork, but much better !!! There is something unique in the taste that I could not describe, but yeah, basically one would think that it is beef, if not told that was Kangaroo meat.
I have come to the land of Kangaroos
I have seen Kangaroos with my own eyes.
I have touched the Kangaroos (no, nothing to do with beastiality)
And today, I have COOKED and EATEN Kangaroos...

LAKE CITY (KTTC-DT) -- Automotive parts supplier Federal-Mogul has laid off 43 more unionized workers and ten more management employees at its Powertrain System division plant in Lake City. The cuts were made last week, and there are rumbles that there may be more layoffs this week because of the difficult business environment that continues.
Pat Murphy, with Lake City's Economic Development Alliance, said a friend of his just lost his job at Federal-Mogul, an engineer with 14 years at the company.
"They cut people with up to 17 years seniority in the plant," said Dan Luhman, vice president of Boilermakers Union Local 650. "I would have been cut too if I had not been a supervisor."
Luhman told KTTC NewsCenter that since mid-December, 146 union employees and possibly as many as 16 management staff have lost their jobs at the two Federal-Mogul plants in Lake City. That leaves roughly 360 workers at the Powertrain Systems and TP Liners divisions.
The union official says the 60 still on the production lines at the TP Liners plant have settled into work schedules that may hold for a time.
"Orders keep being cancelled," said Luhman. "The company is trying to drum up new business, and we're all hoping it will turn around. But they are calling them 'permanent' layoffs."
It is much the same story at auto parts maker TRW, which trimmed 42 salaried employees from its three Winona-area plants about two weeks ago. A TRW spokesman, John Wilkerson, told reporters at that time that there were 520 employees still on the job at the three plants in Winona, Minnesota, and Ettrick and Galesville, Wisconsin.
TRW has shifted about 150 jobs since last summer to a plant in Mexico, in a cost-cutting move.

"There's nothing more motivating than fighting for your fans. I was really glad with their support and affection. Fans are good all over the world, but here in Brazil it's special. There'll be great fights, great MMA names. Jose Aldo is the man to be defeated on his division, like Anderson."
-- Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua, via Tatame.com, pays the ultimate compliment to current UFC Featherweight Champion, Jose Aldo, comparing him to 185-pound kingpin, Anderson Silva. "The Spider," who is regarded by many to be the consensus number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world, is definitely atop the totem pole of mixed martial arts (MMA). Having won 15 straight fights, including a record breaking 14 consecutive in the Octagon to accompany nine title defenses (also a record) there's no denying Silva is the man many aspire to be like in the sport. Aldo, on the other hand, is also riding an impressive streak, winning 13 in a row dating back to his dominant run with the now defunct World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) promotion, which is coupled with five straight title defenses. Like Silva, he has not tasted defeat in more than five years. Coincidentally enough, Aldo often trains alongside Silva over at Team Blackhouse. Evidently, iron does indeed sharpen iron. "Scarface" will try to extend his win streak and continue his ascension to the top pound-for-pound ranks when he takes on undefeated wrestling powerhouse Chad Mendes this weekend (Jan. 14, 2012) at UFC 142: "Aldo vs. Mendes," live from the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. At the young age of 25 and with plenty of years of competing ahead of him, can Aldo one day surpass his Brazilian counterpart as the greatest MMA fighter of all time?

Evan Williams
"Oral Reading Fluency: The Gateway Skill to Middle School Success" is the innovative program created by Williams for students at Reynolds Middle School. The program, which began as a pilot study, was developed by teachers at the school to improve the reading achievement of students by focusing on oral fluency. According to the teachers, oral fluency is a basic reading skill that is a barrier to the success of students in middle school. They have researched how students learn to read and combined the findings with three years of data they collected from their own students to create the program. Students in the program read a one-minute fluency passage at the beginning of the week and repeat the passage at the end of the week to measure growth. Throughout the middle of the week, the students are put in pairs to read aloud from novels they personally select and the teachers use the opportunity to tutor and monitor the progress of the students. Williams, who lives in Portland, hopes the students will exceed the average of 20 words per minute each year and increase their fluency by 30 words per minute each year.
