Piedmont Road
Piedmont Road - the entire street
Atlanta, GA
Submitted by: Julie Harrison
This street is "like a stab wound through the heart of the city."
Why It Doesn't Work
Piedmont Road is like a stab wound through the heart of the city. This must be one of the ugliest streets in the world. At the very end of it is Atlanta's Piedmont Park, which is a great park (though it could be a lot better) but one has to drive on the street in order to get there. There are also attractive neighborhoods located off of this street, Peachtree Hills, Garden Hills, and Peachtree Park for example, but one wouldn't know it based on the true starkness and ugliness of this road.
What Puts Piedmont Road in the Hall of Shame?
Congested or fast-moving traffic impedes pedestrians. Rarely does one see pedestrians on this street. There is a lack of human scale: no trees, power lines everywhere, very wide street with concrete median in the middle, parts of the street lack a sidewalk. There are also undesirable uses (the famed Gold Club a seedy strip club was located on this street until it was shut down.)
Vehicles dominate the space. It is completely unfriendly to pedestrians.
People use it for one reason: as a way to get someplace else.
No one shows this off to relatives unless it is as an example of what not to do.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals' Dockett involved in incident with Kerry Rhodes
Arizona Sports (KTAR 620-AM) has confirmed there was an on-field incident between Darnell Dockett and Kerry Rhodes towards the end of the game Sunday, and it will likely lead to the disciplinary action being taken towards the defensive lineman.
When asked about the matter on Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt would not divulge much information.
"We generally prefer to keep internal matters like that within the team and not discuss them publicly," he said. "I think we're going to continue to do that going forward."
Sources close to the situation say that Dockett reportedly spit in Rhodes' face late in the game as the Jets were nearing the Cardinals' goal line.
The same sources indicate that Dockett could be facing a one-game suspension without pay for his part in the incident.
Tuesday morning, Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com wrote a blog post including a quote from Rhodes who says Dockett didn't spit in his face, but there was an incident.
Rhodes was arguably the best defensive player in the game, collecting a pair of interceptions and a forced fumble to go along with six tackles.
Dockett was credited with four tackles and half a sack.
The Cardinals lost the game to the New York Jets by a score of 7-6. It is Arizona's eighth-straight loss following four consecutive wins to begin the season.

View our education section to learn more about our gold jewelry.
I love this necklace and wear it just about everyday! The heart shaped diamond is small as described but has a great quality. It looks understated and elegant. I returned it to have the chain shortened to 16'' - the 18'' is too long for the size of the diamond. It is now perfect!

Exceptional, high-end setting design with a substantial chain in a perfect scale. The diamond is bright, white and eye-catching. It looks way more expensive than what I paid for. A superb deal I can always find in Blue Nile.

Between the iPod, Blackberry, iPhone, PDA along with a host of other wireless technological wonders, it is difficult to drive down the highway or walk a busy city street and spot someone who isn't plugged in. With the growing stable of devices chiming for our attention it is hardly surprising that most of us are becoming not only increasingly distracted but also, are more easily distracted then ever before. This trend is being passed onto our kids as seen in an assortment of studies being conducted on young children.
Jackson argues the case that these many new diversions are seriously eroding our capacity for deep, sustained attention, a necessary building block of intimacy and wisdom. This erosion could result in the dawning of a new Dark Age as she draws parallels between present day and the Medieval Era, the fall of the Greece and other civilizations. Jackson goes on to the growing problem of ADD while posing the question of how, in today's ultra busy, multitasking environment can one tell the difference between ADD or a bad case of modern life. It is a valid point as increasing competition at every level of the educational system continues to pressure younger and younger children as well as adults to excel.
From fast food specifically formulated to be eaten on the go to losing cultural awareness, the 30 second sound-byte mentality is more then a mere sign of the times. It is a red flag warning that our attention spans, the ability to focus on what is important to us, is part of the cost of our ever tightening schedules and a serious problem worthy of our consideration.
This thought provoking book has a serious flaw as the target audience of heavy multimedia users most likely to suffer from an inability to focus, are least likely to read and benefit from the research presented here. While it may be a bit far-fetched to believe a Dark Age is approaching, there is little argument that multitasking takes a toll on us. Thoroughly researched and with plenty of input from a variety of sources, Jackson examines how, from the first telegraph to the largest search engines, technologies are changing how we think and interact with one another. She also shows how readers can reshape their attention, develop focus and nurture the memory, perception and judgment skills needed for a fuller, happier life.

The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.As Everton's exclusive 500 club opened its books to admit a new member, it was in memorable fashion. David Moyes celebrated a landmark occasion with a substitution of counterintuitive brilliance to increase hopes of winning the first trophy of his long reign. Exit the Scot's specialist goalscorer, Nikica Jelavic, enter Johnny Heitinga, a centre-back by trade, and onward Everton marched, propelled into the last 16 by the replacement.If the change, which was greeted with a sprinkling of boos, was designed to allow Marouane Fellaini to operate further forward, bringing on Heitinga to anchor the midfield, it had an unexpected benefit. "We needed to try and find another tactical way of trying to create a goal," said Moyes, who quipped his touchline briefing to Heitinga consisted of one word: "Shoot." He did just that when Bolton failed to clear Magaye Gueye's corner, the Dutchman drilling a shot through a crowded penalty area."I thought Bolton had done enough to get a replay," Moyes admitted, deriving more pleasure from the outcome than the process. "The job is to get through in the FA Cup and I have had many years where I have not." But now Everton, semi-finalists last season, are two games away from a return to Wembley. With Gueye, another replacement, then hitting the bar, it made for an emphatic end to a close contest.Only Harry Catterick and Howard Kendall had previously reached 500 matches as Everton manager. Unlike the Goodison greats, Moyes has no medals to show for his service. The quest for silverware has entailed fielding strong sides, a policy that seemed to have backfired when the influential Kevin Mirallas, starting for the first time in seven weeks, limped off with a recurrence of his hamstring problems.Within a minute, however, Everton led. Steven Pienaar, the only player rested for the third-round tie at Cheltenham, marked his entrance to this season's competition with a fortunate opener. Victor Anichebe met Leighton Baines's low cross with a sidefooted shot that was turned in, seemingly inadvertently, by the advancing Pienaar.Since relegation in May, Bolton have tumbled into the lower half of the Championship. Yet top-flight opposition bring the best from one of their number. Marvin Sordell has a solitary league goal this season but has four in three FA Cup ties against Sunderland and now Everton.An expertly-executed equaliser followed a similarly precise centre from Darren Pratley. "It's the way I want to play football," the Bolton manager Dougie Freedman said. "For the next hour we played possibly the best football since I have been here."Belying their league position, Wanderers pushed for a second. The Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, a scorer from 104 yards against them last season, saved from rather closer distances, twice denying the excellent Marcos Alonso and once thwarting Pratley before Everton's resolve brought a reward."A small detail at the end let us down," Freedman lamented. His players had provided 90 minutes of endeavour, the groundstaff and volunteers 24 hours of work to clear a snowy pitch. "It was a kick in the teeth."DAVID MOYES is emerging as a genuine candidate to become manager of Chelsea in the summer.Rafa Benitez, Chelsea's interim boss until the end of the season, is not wanted by the Stamford Bridge fans.And if Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich looks elsewhere for his next manager, Everton's Moyes will be in the frame to become the Russian's first British boss.Moyes, 49, would be a contender, along with Borussia Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp and possibly Real Madrid's former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.His Goodison contract is up at the end of the season and Moyes has to decide whether to continue his 11-year relationship with the club – or make a career-changing decision.Moyes has revealed he has ambitions to manage in Germany's Bundesliga one day – but it could be a case first of London calling.The Everton boss enjoys a special relationship with Goodison chairman Bill Kenwright which would be difficult to end.But a Chelsea offer would be hard to resist for the boss who has been LMA Manager of the Year on three occasions while operating on a restricted budget at Everton.Chelsea also have an interest in an Everton player – Belgium's Marouane Fellaini.Benitez, meanwhile, goes into today's FA Cup tie at Brentford knowing he probably needs to win the competition, qualify for the Champions League and possibly succeed in the Europa League, too, to have a chance of extending his stay at Chelsea.Meanwhile, Moyes' contract stalemate with Everton has been labelled 'disappointing' by Goodison Park legend Alan Stubbs.Former Toffees star Stubbs, now a reserve team coach at the club, said: "The manager has got his destiny in his own hands now."He's done a fantastic job. He's basically irreplaceable – but he's probably looking at his career and looking for that next challenge."John Heitinga thumped in a winner in added time to take Everton into the fifth round.Marvin Sordell had cancelled out Steven Pienaar's opening goal and the tie looked to be heading for a replay before substitute Heitinga drove in the first minute of stoppage time.Avoiding a replay will thrill David Moyes, who celebrated 500 games in charge of Everton at the Reebok Stadium, after his thin squad suffered another blow when Kevin Mirallas limped off in the early stages with what looked like a recurrence of the hamstring problem that has frustrated him over the last three months.Moyes admits he his lack of options means he has little choice but to play a full strength side in the cup and he saw his side move in front when Leighton Baines crossed from the left and Victor Anichebe's deflected shot hit Pienaar and went in at the near post.Although Bolton have continued to struggle since last season's relegation to the Championship, they responded well, with Chung-Yong Lee heading wide from on-loan Liverpool midfielder Jay Spearing's corner.And they drew level before the half-hour when Darren Pratley made a fine burst and drove a cross to the near post for Sordell to turn in.Earlier this month manager Dougie Freedman revealed his concerns about the Sordell's "obsession" with Twitter.The striker, who played for Great Britain at last summer's Olympics, has made a minimal impact since a £3 million move from Watford just under a year ago but the FA Cup is providing hope.He scored twice in the 2-0 victory at Sunderland and made the most of just his second start since August – and only his sixth in a year – to fire his team level.Pratley and Marcos Alonso were also denied by Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard as they impressed before the interval, while Anichebe headed wide twice from good positions.The visitors were dominant after the break but Nikica Jelavic failed to capitalise on a good throughball from Magaye Gueye and Pienaar also curled wide from 20 yards.At the other end, Sordell was sent too wide by a cross from Eagles after a quick breakaway before Andy Lonergan turned wide from Pienaar.The home supporters were cheered by the sight of American midfielder Stuart Holden, whose past two years have been wrecked by serious knee injuries, coming on for the final 10 minutes for his first appearance at the Reebok Stadium since March 2011. But Heitinga thumped in after Bolton failed to clear a succession of corners to take the visitors through.A goal from Johnny Heitinga in time added on denied Bolton a replay that was the least they deserved from this fourth-round tie.Relegated last season and currently an undistinguished 16th in the Championship, the Wanderers belied that modest position and were well on their way to providing a stumbling block to a Premier League side for the second round in a row.That was until Heitinga, the Dutch defender, was brought on as a late substitute in midfield. When Bolton failed to head clear in the 91st minute, he was on hand to volley powerfully through a crowd of players and spare his team a re-run they did not need."I thought Bolton deserved a replay," the Everton manager, David Moyes, admitted. "But if anyone was going to go on and win it, I thought it would be Everton."After 11 years and 500 games in charge of Everton, the closest Moyes has been to a trophy is the FA Cup final defeat by Chelsea in 2009.That is good enough reason to continue to take the competition seriously and Moyes accordingly fielded a full-strength team at the Reebok, minus the injured Darron Gibson.Bolton were surprise replay winners at Sunderland in the third round. Less surprisingly, Dougie Freedman gave the main striking responsibility to Marvin Sordell, the scorer of two goals in that tie.He had precious little chance to shine during an opening quarter which was one-way traffic in Everton's favour. With any number of neat attacking touches, it looked to be only a matter of time before they took the lead – and it was.After 19 minutes Bolton committed the cardinal sin of allowing Leighton Baines too much room on the left flank. From his low, whipped-in cross, the lively Victor Anichebe had his initial effort blocked, only for the ball to find the net via Steven Pienaar's chest.It was a messy goal, but one in keeping with the balance of play thus far. The startling thing was the revitalising effect it had on Bolton.Almost immediately, Chris Eagles was brought back for a marginal offside when clean through. Then Darren Pratley, pushing through from midfield, attacked the by-line and pulled the ball back for Sordell, lurking at the near post, to turn in neatly.Tim Howard scored against Bolton at Goodison last season. Yesterday, he was kept busy with more conventional duties, like saving from Eagles and Marcos Alonso as Bolton continued to press.For much of the second period, both teams seemed to have left their best work behind in that "half of two halves". The best chances fell to the Wanderers, with the impressive Alonso forcing a leaping save from Howard.Then Josh Vela, who formed an industrious engine room with the Liverpool loanee, Jay Spearing, robbed Marouane Fellaini of the ball and surged forward, only for Eagles to waste the opening with a poor cross.Against that, Andy Lonergan was called into action once, to tip Pienaar's shot around the post.After Heitinga's winner, there was still time for Magaye Gueye to hit the bar and for Benik Afobe to have a chance of an equaliser at the other end. A proper Cup-tie in other words, and one that Everton knew they were fortunate to win at the first attempt.Freedman, the Bolton manager, paid tribute to the army of volunteers who made the game possible, despite heavy overnight snow."I was disappointed with the result but not with the performance," he said. "I thought we probably played our best football since I've been here. There were a lot of positives."Those positives included a good all-round performance from Sordell, a player Freedman says is still having to work hard to build up his fitness, and an emotional return by Stuart Holden, a late arrival off the bench.All in all, Bolton had a little more to congratulate themselves on than Everton, but, as Moyes said, the Cup is always about getting through to the next round – no matter how scratchily.TWO teams with great FA Cup traditions produced a tepid tie for all but the final 10 minutes. Everton won it through a thundering last-gasp drive by John Heitinga and even then Bolton, who had given as good as they got for much of the afternoon, had a last chance to equalise. But Benik Afobe blazed the ball over from 18 yards with almost the last kick.It is afternoons like this in the deep midwinter when the ball bounces your way that dreams of Wembley begin to take shape. Though Everton's priority will be to secure their return to the Champions League, David Moyes would dearly love to point to a piece of silverware to mark nearly 11 years at Everton. For all Arsène Wenger's wishes, there is no trophy for finishing fourth in the Premier League.Moyes honoured his commitment to the FA Cup by picking his first team, but, as he pointed out, that was partly due to his lack of options. "It's a big week for us and I might run aground later on if my players start to get tired," he said. "But if I'd played a weakened team your questions would have been very different."Everton dominated the opening quarter and went ahead through a Steven Pienaar goal after good work by Leighton Baines. Disoriented for a moment by the loss of Kevin Mirallas through injury, they then stood back and admired their handiwork, paying the price when Marvin Sordell swept home Darren Pratley's low cross with the authority of a top-class striker.Bolton picked up the tempo of the game and Tim Howard was immediately forced into two important saves, from Pratley's stinging drive and an acute-angled shot by the excellent Marcos Alonso. An anxious Moyes began pacing the touchline as Sordell was allowed to twist and turn out of two tackles to set up a flurry of Bolton pressure.Only in the last 10 minutes did the whiff of the cup properly fill the nostrils as Jay Spearing and Marouane Fellaini were booked and the tackles began to fly. But just as Bolton were contemplating the financial bonus of a replay, their defence failed to clear a corner and Heitinga, a late substitute for the ineffective Nikica Jelavic, blasted Everton into the last 16. "We didn't play as well as we could have done," said Moyes. "But we're in the draw for the next round."Bolton's heroics in getting the game played in the first place after heavy overnight snow deserved better reward.Everton boss David Moyes wants to snap up Barnsley defender John Stones – if he can do a bargain £2million deal, writes the Sunday People.The Toffees boss has little cash to spend but fancies a gamble on the England youth star, who is being chased by a handful of top-flight clubs.The Goodison gaffer is worried about his right-back position – highlighted by Seamus Coleman's injury – and the fact that Stones could also develop into a centre-half makes him very attractive.Barnsley have so far fended off approaches from Wigan, Fulham and Sunderland for the 18-year-old.But Everton are the first of the clubs contending to finish in the top four to show real interest in this window.

Chronic, degenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease affect the entire family, not just the person with the disease. Roles and relationships among family members change as the condition progresses and the needs of the person with Parkinson's increase. Most families struggle with the challenges of these changes. It is difficult, to say the least, to watch a loved one follow the path of a degenerative disease. The ways in which family members meet these challenges, however, can draw them together rather than tear them apart. humor, compassion, and empathy are crucial in shifting focus from a progression of loss to the possibilities that remain.
Often a spouse or an adult child becomes the primary caregiver for the person with Parkinson's. For a person with Parkinson's who has been the head of the family it is difficult to cede control to others. It is also difficult for other family members, particularly adult children, to step into taking control. Maintaining a position of collaboration in which the situation is a partnership can help everyone take a positive view of the changing circumstances. The person with Parkinson's and family members should discuss crucial aspects of future care, such as assisted living facilities and advance directives, as early as possible in the course of the disease so that everyone involved clearly understands the preferences of the person who has Parkinson's.
This is not an easy dialogue to initiate, but postponing it does not make it easier. Early on, the person with Parkinson's should make, and be fully supported by family members in making, decisions about the future from treatment options to end of life care, unless there are reasons to question the person's ability to make informed choices. The person's capacity to make them takes a tremendous burden off both him or her and family members who would otherwise have to face such decisions without the participation of their loved one. This process is more stressful in the end and can lead to disagreements, hard feelings, and guilt among family members.
The challenges that Parkinson's imposes on families are not easy to confront and often cause considerable frustration. This is normal and natural. Despite best intentions, not all families are able to approach the situation collaboratively. Sometimes unresolved family issues get in the way. Family members may have different concepts of what it means to be involved in the person's care or may themselves be emotionally unable to cope with the challenges of the disease and the changes that are taking place in their parent or spouse. support groups provide safe forums for sharing experiences and learning from those of other families and caregivers.

Lessons Learned in Digital: A Boom! Interview
- Posted by Johanna on December 27, 2010 at 12:58 pm
- Category: Digital and Webcomics
David Brothers talked to Chip Mosher, Boom! Studios Marketing Director, about Boom!'s digital plans. Chip points out how they've often been ahead of the curve (in spite of retailer dismay) and how many of their readers and sales are international:
40% of our sales came from outside the United States. … There is a huge hunger internationally for American comics in the original language, and from talking to other publishers on panels about digital comics, that 40% number runs across most publishers that are in the space as aggressively as we are.
He also points out that they want to make their catalog widely available:
Part of our launch this year on the iPad/iPhone and with our five digital partners was a commitment to have our entire BOOM! Studios backlist and most of our front list available. And we have done that. We currently have at least a 30-day window on much of our front list. Sometimes that decision is more up to our partners' bandwidth in processing the books than to us internally.
He goes on to say that they can't release the Disney licensed titles digitally. And I'd like to see that month delay decrease, especially if the audience isn't overlapping much.
David and Chip continue to talk about some of the many challenges digital comics face, including the distributor snags (as mentioned above), the question of ownership vs. cloud storage, experimenting with formats and bundles, whether periodicals are still necessary/desirable, distribution diversity, and how to gain new readers. There are a lot more questions than answers, but that's where we are right now in this preliminary stage of the business. It's a nice overview of one company that's looking forward and attempting to face the future by tackling these questions, or at least acknowledging them.

This is a German Kolsch that uses a honey malt instead of the Vienna. This gives the beer a slightly crisper taste as I find the vienna a bit "malty". I pitched this on a secondary harvest of Wyeast #2565 and fermentation was good. The gravity was low for a Kolsch, but it's a session ale that I'm after. The lighter grain bill also means I can shorten the keg condtioning. For those of you who plan on bottling, this beer will do very well with 3-4 weeks of cool (as cool as you can get it) conditioning in the secondary. ******* Batch Size: 5.25 gal Boil Size: 6.50 gal Estimated OG: 1.038 SG Estimated Color: 4.8 SRM Estimated IBU: 19.2 IBU Brewhouse Efficiency: 70.0 % Boil Time: 60 Minutes 7.00 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM) 1.00 lb Wheat Malt, Ger (2.0 SRM) 0.50 lb Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) 1.00 oz Hallertauer [4.80%] (60 min) 0.20 oz Saaz [3.80%] (15 min) 0.20 oz Saaz [3.80%] (5 min) 1 Pkgs Kolsch Yeast (Wyeast Labs #2565) Add 2.36 gal of water at 130.2 F 122.0 F 10 min Add 0.47 gal of water at 203.8 F 134.0 F 15 min Add 1.89 gal of water at 182.7 F 152.0 F 60 min Add 1.89 gal of water at 211.3 F 168.0 F 20 min If you prefer, a sigle infusion mash to acheive a 153 degree mash temp for 60 minutes will also work well. This is a favorite among females who are a little narrow-minded in their appreciation of beer. Kolsch is essentially a Pilsner wanna-be. This will make my third batch of Kolsch and a standard during the summer months. Very easy AG recipe and wide audience appeal.NOTE: There was no specific German Light Ale recipe category so I parked it here.
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
Just finished "lagering" this one for about 5 weeks and it tastes great. I really like the honey malt in this recipe and the choice of hops. I used the WLP029 which left a nice clean flavor with some esters, but didn't flocculate very well at all despite the extended cold conditioning. A great kolsch recipe, nevertheless.
i just finished off my last bottle of this beer, and i have to say its the best beer ive brewed thus far. i will definatly be brewing this one again
BierMuncher, I purchased the ingredients for this but then thought I might make a big batch and ferment in two cornys. Does this look good to convert to 10 gallon? Add 6# extra light dry extract for the boil. Add an ounce of Tettnang (3.2%) to the Hallertauer @ 60 minutes (I have it on hand) Make the Saaz additions 1 oz each? This makes the IBUs 20.0 according to Beer Smith. Thanks, hoping to brew this next weekend as my AHS Anniversary Kolsch is rapidly depleting as my wife finally likes a brew I've made Oh and is one Wyeast 2565 enough for 10 gallons?
I made this one using Ultra in place of Saaz. Wow! Amazing beer! I will be making this one again soon!
What temperature do you ferment at? I already have the hops and honey malt on hand, I think ill make this next weekend.
this recipe is extremely similar to the award winning black widow kolschhttp://www.skotrat.com/skotrat/recip...ecipes/14.html only difference is the BWK has a bit more pils with a little less honey malt, with a lower AA hallertauer. That being said, this recipe is looking extremely promising.
Great recipe... Thanks for posting. Just made a second batch and added 3lbs of cranberries during the last week in the secondary. Was a hit over Christmas.
I brewed this using wyeast 2565 and from what I understand the yeast can leave beer cloudy. What can I do to clear it up, jello, lager... Ive never laggered before but have the ability to do it. My batch went into the ferm chamber two days ago and has been sitting at 60. If I decided to lager, what would a good schedule be? I would prefer not to lager as Im impatient as hell, but I want this beer to be clean.

Saturday, June 1st is the National Day of Civic Hacking. The day will bring together local government leaders and staff, local organizations, businesses, visitors, and community members and is focused on fun and civic innovation. There will be prototyping, a mini-maker faire, talks, discussions, music, and food.
…And The Hive is part of it! The proposed project is a line graph generated in physical space by blowers, ping pongs, servos and a programmable controller – all hooked to Hadoop.
The apparatus will be able to show two lines of data for comparison purposes. One will be generated from green ping pong balls, and the other from red. In this way various trend scenarios can be compared to each other.
The data for the two trend lines can be generated from data from the city of Palo Alto and processed either on a laptop, and/or sent to a compute grid (hadoop) to crunch the numbers.
Come visit our booth on June 1st from 11am to 6pm downtown Palo Alto! Exact location will be posted here very soon.

Gigaxonin is mutated in human giant axonal neuropathy (GAN), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. The presence of generalized cytoskeletal abnormalities , including few microtubules and accumulated intermediate filaments (IFs), in GAN suggests an essential role of gigaxonin in cytoskeletal organization and dynamics. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the cytoskeletal pathology remain to be elucidated. Over the years, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) of intracellular protein degradation has been implicated in the control of many fundamental cellular processes. Defects in this system seem to be directly linked to the development of human diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative diseases . Here, we show that gigaxonin controls protein degradation of tubulin folding cofactor B (TBCB) , a function disrupted by GAN-associated mutations. The substantial TBCB protein accumulation caused by impaired UPS may be a causative factor of cytoskeletal pathology in GAN. Our study provides important insight into pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases associated with cytoskeletal abnormalities.

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Firefighters struggled on Thursday to control a fast-growing 28,000-acre wildfire raging within several miles of spent nuclear fuel stored at a U.S. Energy Department lab in the high desert of eastern Idaho.
The growth and intensity of the blaze, the nation's largest active wildfire, prompted the Idaho National Laboratory to order a key facility on the 890-square-mile site evacuated of all nonessential personnel, lab officials said.
The Materials and Fuels Complex, about 38 miles from Idaho Falls, consists of facilities for handling, processing and examining spent nuclear fuel, irradiated materials and radioactive wastes, according to the lab's website.
Technicians perform this work with remotely operated tools and equipment placed inside shielded chambers to contain contamination and radiation.
Fire crews were taking preventive measures to safeguard the facility's buildings, which are also surrounded by buffer zones of gravel or sand, lab spokesman Ethan Huffman said.
A statement issued late Thursday by the lab, which employs roughly 6,000 people, including contractors, added: "There is no known radiological hazard to the public at this time."
Earlier in the day, nearly 50 firefighters from the lab and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management focused their efforts on protecting a separate facility where spent nuclear rods are stored, according to the lab.
Additional radioactive rods are kept cooled in storage ponds farther to the south at a site called the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center.
The center's workers "have taken shelter at the facility as a precaution," the lab said in a late update without further explanation.
"They're fighting (the fire) from all directions at the moment; winds are changing every minute," lab spokeswoman Sara Prentice said Thursday afternoon.
The exact distance between the leading edge of the rapidly spreading blaze and various facilities on the laboratory grounds, which also includes three working reactors, was not precisely known Thursday night, lab officials said.
But flames did reach to within several miles of sites where spent nuclear fuel is kept, including the Materials and Fuels Complex and the so-called Naval Reactors Facility.
Thursday's blaze at the lab came three days after crews extinguished an earlier fire that burned through sagebrush and grasslands on the northwest edge of property.
Government officials said that blaze was sparked by a vehicle with a blown tire dragging its metal rim along the pavement of a state highway near the laboratory.
The cause of the new blaze was under investigation. It is one of five wildfires that erupted in eastern Idaho on Thursday amid lightning strikes, high temperatures and strong winds.
Fires have charred tens of thousands of acres across Idaho and the Northern Rockies in recent days, including parts of Montana, Yellowstone National Park and northwestern Wyoming.
The National Weather Service on Thursday heightened fire warnings for the region because of soaring temperatures, dwindling humidity and predicted lightning storms with wind gusts of up to 35 miles per hour.
Hot, dry, windy conditions also posed difficulties on Thursday for the 170 firefighters assigned to a separate fire blazing out of control in forested high country of east-central Idaho and western Montana.
The Saddle Complex blaze, which has scorched 21,100 acres in Idaho's Salmon-Challis National Forest and the Bitterroot National Forest of Montana, was burning with such intensity and in such rugged terrain that fire bosses deemed it unsafe to launch an attack except by air.
"These aren't the kind of conditions you put people in," U.S. Forest Service spokesman Bob MacGregor said.
Ground crews on Thursday worked to protect 30 outlying homes and establish perimeters in advance of oncoming flames.
Authorities in Montana told residents of 50 houses west of Darby to prepare for evacuation, and smoke in the Bitterroot Valley prompted health officials to advise small children and people with respiratory or heart problems to stay indoors.

The former Republican candidate in the 19th district State Senate race has been indicted on 113 felony counts for allegedly sexually abusing a child.
The Delaware Attorney General's office says a Sussex County grand jury issued an indictment charging 53 year old Eric Bodenweiser of Georgetown with 39 counts of first degree unlawful sexual intercourse and 74 counts of second-degree unlawful sexual contact.
The charges come after Delaware State Police investigated information it received that Bodenweiser sexually abused a child. The indictment charges Bodenweiser with sexually abusing a juvenile victim between October 1987 and August 1990.
Bodenwesier turned himself in, was arraigned and is in the Sussex Correctional Institution. His bail is set at $250,000. If he posts bail, he will be monitored by GPS device and be subject to pre-trial supervision by Probation and Parole.
Bodenwieser first suspended, then ended his campaign last week for personal reasons. He defeated incumbent Joe Booth in the September Republican primary.
The Delaware Republican Party last week threw its support to former Georgetown mayor Brian Pettyjohn's write in candidacy for the 19th district senate seat. Democrat Jane Hovington is also seeking the seat.

This product has been discontinued
This has been discontinued but am writing a review hoping Revlon will take a peek and re-package this product and make it available once again.
With a bit of face moisturizer or primer, this was an awesome foundation --not visible in the most harsh sunlight (the problem I have experienced with other foundation/concealers -you go out in the Sun and everyone can see that your face is painted), did not run off with water or sweat, lasted all day and gave a really good glow to the face. This was even without the face illuminator by Revlon (which I also bought and love).
I used the Fair shade which somehow looked great on my Medium -Tan skin.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am NW10-15, pretty fair, so finding a drugstore foundation in my shade has always been a challenge. I bought this in 010 Bare Light, the lightest shade. It is probably a good match for NW15, slightly dark for me, but easily blendable. The foundation has a floral scent that is a little over the top, not a big fan. The coverage is minimal, about the same as with a tinted moisturizer. However, this foundation HIGHLIGHTED my flaws, blemishes, pores, skin textures... there seems to be light diffusing particles in the formula, which made it look like there was a spotlight on my face. This is a definite no-buy for me.
Okay, I picked this up at Tuesday Morning which is a sure sign it's a discontinued product. But I purchased it because I love, love, love the Revlon Spa Illuminator. I got the medium shade for 2 reasons.....1) that's my skintone, and 2) that's all they had. :-)
Ladies, if you don't like the brush applicator, removing it is very simple. Just grasp it with your fingers and pull it off. It will usually come off in 2 or 3 pieces. I did that as soon as I got back to work....it's easy. But if that doesn't work, pull out your lady pliers and do it.
So far, I think I'm going to like this. I've only tried it on the back of my hand and I thought I might have put on too much, but it spreads and evens out pretty well. The medium seems to have a pink undertone to me, although another reviewer said it had yellow undertones.
As for the smell/fragrance....not the best in the world. Smells a little plastic-y to me, but nothing that's going to cause me to trash it. It doesn't smell as good as the Spa Illuminator for sure, but it doesn't smell like garbage either.
I think I'll definitely get my $4.99 out of it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this on clearance, thought I would try it since I like the Spa Illuminator from Revlon. Just like the Illuminator, the brush is awful, but pulls out easily with pliers. Then, the packaging is perfect! I will update my review at a later time, because I tried it while having more breakouts than usual. Coverage seemed good, but not sure if it made me breakout or just stress...
I am 53 and have super oily skin.. Have hormonal brak outs, pores that need to be minimized. I never buy anything thats not for oily skin... but I saw this on sale for under $3.00. So I bought it. My skin does not get oily in a few hours like it does with other foundations made for oily skin. In fact it stays fairly matt all day. The coverage is great! I am so surprised by this product. I dont mind the brush at all, but I smooth it all out after the application. I am going to see if I can find more and stock up! I have tried some of the most expensive foundations and never been as happy as I am with this one.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I think this may have been discontinued. Why is it when everyone loves a product the company decides to quit making it?
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Like many others, I bought this because it was cheap. I honestly hate this foundation. The SMELL is awful. It smells like burnt chocolate. I hate it. It goes away after but I just hate smelling it while applying it. The brush applicator makes the foundation go on streaky. I used a different brush and it made it less streaky but I still don't like how it looks. It's pretty light coverage and leaves a dewy finish. I wouldn't repurchase even if it was $1. May work for some people but I believe there are far better foundations out there!
Like most people, I also bought this on whim for $2 at CVS on clearance. I really like Revlon's Colorstay in Combination/Oily, so I thought I'd give it a try since I had nothing to lose with the ridiculous price. I bought it in 003 Light.
Honestly, I had no expectation for this foundation. I have oily skin, so I wasn't sure if this would work, since the consistency is kind of creamy and I thought it would glide off my skin in the summer heat. But I was wrong! This product really evens out my skin texture, minimize my big pores, and provides medium coverage without feeling like heavy foundation. It actually feels more like a tinted moisturizer, which I love since it's so hot outside these days.
Not really excited about the packaging, though. I'm not sure why I have to dispense it through the crappy brush, and I wonder why someone thought that was a good idea. I just use my fingers to apply and smooth it onto my face.
Also, it looked kind of dark for me in the tube, but it blends out lighter than it looks. I found a way to make it work for my NC25 skin in the summer. After applying this, I dust my Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Transluscent all over my face, which makes the foundation seem a tad lighter and makes it suit my skin tone much better.
My mom actually commented that my face looked so natural and my skin looked so beautiful. After she said that, I immediately went to three local CVS and Rite Aids and bought four extras, just in case they decide to discontinue this product. Glad I found it, and glad it was so cheap!!
I have this in the shade Medium which is yellow-toned and it is a good match for me. I was in need of a sheer coverage foundation and this worked out nicely. It gave me a light dewy finish and although coverage is light, it evens out the redness on my cheeks nicely. I find that it's not the best at controlling oily skin because I still looked a little shiny with this so be sure to set it with powder. I also don't like the brush tip on the foundation. It's rather unhygienic and find it best to just "dot" on the skin then blend with my regular foundation brush (usually sigma F80 or the ELF flat top one).
Like many other reviewers, I picked this up at a 75% off deal at CVS (hope that doesn't mean they are getting rid of it). So, I thought for about $2 I'd try a new makeup out if it doesn't work I'm not out a bunch of money. I have very oily skin, large pores, redness, blackheads, and occasional pimple. This goes on so smooth, even, and makes my skin look almost flawless. So many foundations look cakey, and the oily makes them feel and look like it is sliding off my face. Not this, I was so surprised, b/c it is not marketed to be the miracle foundation for oily skin. I've worn it over the last month and a half in all kinds of temps, and it still looks decent at the end of the day. I'll be buying this at full price again!

BOOK Princeton geology professor Kenneth Deffeyes and his son, illustrator Stephen Deffeyes, have combined their respective talents in the book Nanoscale: Visualizing an Invisible World. In it, they reveal the atomic architecture of things most people take for granted, like air, and some most people don't even know about, like perovskite, a mineral found at the center of the Earth. The younger Deffeyes presents the structures in 3D illustrations that occasionally verge on the psychedelic. Brief essays—surprisingly engaging for quantum mechanics—explain each substance's significance, which is sometimes as simple as pure beauty of form. $21.95; MIT Press Hannah McCann

In Season: Scallions
by Dana Angelo White in In Season, April 26, 2010Scallions are springing into season (they just appeared in my CSA box!) and I've started adding the subtle spring onions to just about everything that comes out of my kitchen, from salsas to salads to soups. Find out all there is to know about the earliest-arriving root veggie of the year.
What, Where, When?
Scallions (a.k.a green onions or spring onions) are in season from early spring throughout the summer months. They resemble miniature leeks with firm white bases and tender, straight green leaves.
Scallions definitely smell and taste like onions, only sweeter, with a subtle spicy bite. Make sure to use both the white and greens parts – the green tops are extra sweet and the white ends have a bit more crunch.
Nutrition Facts
One cup of raw scallions has only 32 calories, 3 grams of fiber and almost 10 percent of your daily needs for iron and potassium. While you may not be eating them raw by the cup, add them to all kinds of recipes and the nutrients will add up.
What To Do With Scallions
Add raw scallions in dishes where you want just a hint of fresh onion flavor, like pasta salads, soups, guacamole, salad dressing and salsas (try them in mango salsa). Flavor up softened butter with finely chopped scallions and lemon zest to spread on freshly baked bread. Delicious!
You can also stir-fry, roast or even grill scallions to bring out their natural sugars. When lightly cooked, they make a great addition to potato salad, pizza, rice and beans or scrambled eggs.
Shopping Tip: Choose scallions that are crisp and brightly colored. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Recipes To Try:
- Grilled Scallions (pictured)
- Herbed Basmati Rice
- Skewered Shrimps with Mango Salsa
- Snow Pea, Scallion and Radish Salad
- Argentinean Skewers with Sherry Vinegar Steak Sauce and Grilled Scallions
- Fried Rice with Scallions, Edamame and Tofu

Ten Best Gay Bars in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach
Categories: Best of Broward-Palm Beach, Lists
2440 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors
New Moon is the main lesbian bar in all of Broward county. Located across from Rosie's, this indoor/outdoor hotspot includes drink specials, blue jean-wearing bartenders, and a plethora of posters of female singer-songwriters who once might have performed at Lilith Fair. If you love Lisa Loeb, Melissa Etheridge, and Ani DiFranco, this is your new home.
2829 W. Broward Blvd., Fort Lauderdale
If you feel the need to drink and dance past traditional closing time, just know that you really shouldn't. Grab a cab home, take a bath, and evaluate your life to figure out what got you to this point of desperation. But if that isn't feasible for you (most apartments only have showers now anyway), there's always Torpedo. Its location is conveniently located just blocks from the Swap Shop, so if you make it to daylight, you can make a pit stop at Denny's then hit up the bargains.

Mortgage rates have hit a new low for those with a large deposit, but some of the eye-catching deals come with huge fees for borrowers to beware of.
Some offers with higher rates may be more suitable, highlighting the importance of factoring in any fees when choosing a home loan.

Shift debts to your mortgage?
Beware, it's not the easy saving it seems.
First Direct today launched the lowest-ever five-year fixed rate mortgage at 2.69%, which undercuts the 2.74% five-year fixed rate launched by the Post Office last week on rate alone.
However, the First Direct mortgage has a £1,999 fee, while the Post Office is a lower £995.
On a £150,000 mortgage with 25 years to pay, if you add the fee to the loan, you'd pay £60 less over the five-year fixed period with the Post Office and have a smaller overall debt to repay.
On a two-year fix, Chelsea Building Society has launched the lowest-ever rate of 1.89%. However, it comes with a massive fee of £1,695. Tomorrow, ING Direct will bring out a similar deal at 2.29% with a £495 fee, which is cheaper for some.
As ever with the top deals, borrowers need a sizeable deposit. All the deals above require a 40% downpayment, except for First Direct which requires 35%.
Look beyond the rate
David Hollingworth, from broker London & Country, says: "The increased level of competition in the market and the uplift in lender appetite is great news for borrowers as it helps to lower the mortgage rates on offer.
"However it is always important for borrowers to look beyond the headline rate and seek out the best overall value.
"Lenders have been driving down rates to new lows in order to attract borrowers, but in some cases have been hiking arrangement fees to counter the lower interest rate.
"Those with a more modest mortgage would be best to steer clear of the very high fees. Most lenders offer different rate and fee combinations, so there are options with a lower fee but slightly higher interest rate."
Taking out a mortgage is a complicated process so if you're not financially savvy, use a whole-of-market broker to guide you through the minefield.

WTC 2:Cutter Charges and Cover-Up
"Somewhere around the middle of the World Trade Center, there was this orange and red flash coming out. Initially it was just one flash. Then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building had started to explode. The popping sound, and with each popping sound it was initially an orange and then a red flash came out of the building and then it would just go all around the building on both sides as far as I could see. These popping sounds and the explosions were getting bigger, going both up and down and then all around the building." [Karin Deshore - Captain (E.M.S.)]
"It was a frigging noise. At first I thought it was -- do you ever see professional demolition where they set the charges on certain floors and then you hear "Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop" That's exactly what -- because I thought it was that. When I heard that frigging noise, that's when I saw the building coming down." [Daniel Rivera - Paramedic (E.M.S.)]

Coverage: NESN
7:10 PM ET, July 23, 2013
Fenway Park, Boston, Massachusetts
W: J. Lester (9-6)
L: R. Hernandez (5-11)
BOSTON -- Extra rest helped Jon Lester slow down the Tampa Bay surge that nearly knocked Boston out of first place.
After his start was pushed back two days, Lester matched his season high with eight strikeouts and overcame homers by Wil Myers and Evan Longoria as the Red Sox won 6-2 on Tuesday night and moved 1½ games ahead of the Rays in the AL East.
This game was more important than some others for Lester, who had struggled after a sensational opening month.
More On The Red Sox
Gordon Edes and the rest of the ESPNBoston.com team have the Red Sox covered for you. Blog
"You never want to diminish any start," Boston manager John Farrell said, "but, again, where we are in the standings, where they are (and) knowing we're only still in July, but this was a big game for us."
The win kept the Red Sox (61-41) atop the division for the 58th consecutive day and moved them within eight victories of their total from last season.
"Anytime you play somebody in your division, it's more than just a regular-season game," Lester said, "whether it be the first part of the year or last part of the year. It's always big to beat somebody in your division, whether they're half a game back or 20. It doesn't matter. If you continually beat the people in your division, you're going to have a good season."
Lester (9-6) had been scheduled to make his first start after the All-Star break on Sunday. But that was delayed for two days to give him nine days of rest.
"He was strong," Farrell said. "It seems like the added rest did him some good."
The loss ended the Rays' six-game winning streak and was just their third in 21 games, a surge that began when they were in fourth place, trailing the Red Sox by seven games.
"We've been playing pretty darned good and I am not going to be negative or critical about our group at all. We got outpitched a little bit," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "Lester was a strike-thrower tonight."
Boston is 3-4 since its four-game winning streak.
Lester gave up two runs and seven hits with no walks in 6 1/3 innings. He is 3-6 with a 5.97 ERA since starting the season 6-0 with a 2.72 ERA. Four Red Sox pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts.
Roberto Hernandez (5-11) allowed three runs in five innings and tied R.A. Dickey for the second-most losses in the AL. But it was the 28th time in Tampa Bay's last 31 games that its starter gave up three runs or fewer.
"He kept us in the game and gave us a solid chance to win," Maddon said.
Boston led 3-2 before scoring three runs in the eighth on an RBI single by Stephen Drew and a two-run single by Jose Iglesias.
Myers' fifth homer of the season on the first pitch of the second inning cleared the left-field wall and gave the Rays a 1-0 lead.
"That was pretty cool, especially to be able to hit it over The Monster," Myers said. "I got a good pitch and just ended up taking advantage of it."
The Red Sox tied it in the bottom half on a run-scoring single by Mike Carp.
They went ahead 2-1 in the third on a double steal. Shane Victorino led off with a double and went to third on a flyout by Daniel Nava. Dustin Pedroia was hit by a pitch and then stole second as catcher Jose Molina threw down and Victorino scored.
The Red Sox had left runners at third base in three straight innings before Pedroia gave them a 3-1 lead with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
The Rays got another leadoff homer off Lester in the sixth when Longoria hit his 21st on the second pitch, cutting the lead to 3-2.
"Those leadoff home runs like that can turn into big innings if you let them," Lester said. "I was able to settle back down and get some outs after that."
And the Red Sox remained in first place.
"It was a very big performance" by Lester, Victorino said. "You needed something like that, especially (against) a team that's been playing very well."
Game notes
Myers missed the previous two games with a sore left wrist. He is 16 for 32 in his last eight games. ... Rays 1B James Loney's single in the second was the 1,000th hit of his career. ... Pedroia was the only Red Sox batter who went hitless. ... Boston is 10-4 against Tampa Bay and has clinched the 19-game season series. The last time the Red Sox won the season series over the Rays was 2007. ... Alex Torres pitched two scoreless innings and has allowed one run in 30 1/3 innings for the Rays. ... David Price (4-5) pitches for the Rays against Felix Doubront (7-3) in the third game of the four-game series. ... Rays RHP Alex Cobb threw only two pitches in his first rehab start for Class-A Charlotte against Dunedin. Cobb, sidelined since he was hit in the head by a line drive, was removed as a precaution due to a blister on his right index finger. ... Boston CF Jacoby Ellsbury got the night off. He leads the majors with a .370 batting average since May 26.

Research Notes
With his home run in the sixth inning in Boston, Evan Longoria now has exactly 20 home runs against three of the Rays' four AL East opponents. He only has 14 against the Blue Jays. | ||||||||||||||
Pedroia's contract, assuming it is indeed worth at least $100 million, would be the 4th contract of $100 million or more handed out by the Red Sox organization in its history. None of the previous three completed the contract in a Red Sox uniform, although Manny Ramirez almost got there. | ||||||||||||||
Dustin Pedroia has been one of the best all-around second baseman in the game for some time now.
Pedroia is a former MVP, 4-time all-star and a 2-time Gold Glove winner.
In fact, he has the most wins above replacement among players who have played at least 50 percent of their games at second since his M-V-P season in 2008. [+]Most Wins Above Replacement

Wet 'n' Wild Mega Last Lipstick in Don't Blink Pink
Average Rating 4.4/5 |
Review by JazmyneNicole
I LOVE this lipstick.The lipstick color is an amazing, bold, bright pink. It looks gorgeous on the lips. But, the packaging is another story... The packaging is awful! The bottom black part of the lipstick tube started rubbing off on my hands & would legit COVER my hands in black smudgy stuff (which wasn't too easy to wash off) & plus, the whole top half of the lipstick tube comes out sometimes when I try to twist more lipstick out. Bottom line, would I buy this product again, yes. Even though the packaging is AWFUL, the lipstick is wonderrrrrrfuuuuul. So, the good outweighs the bad in this situation. If your thinking about buying this lipstick, go for it.
