What are the effects of concussions on NFL players?
1 Answer | Add Yours
While the science is not completely definitive at this point, there is mounting evidence that concussions, and even lesser injuries to the brains of players in the National Football League (NFL) can lead to very serious physical, mental, and emotional problems. There have been several high-profile cases in recent years in which former players have committed suicide and autopsies have revealed brain problems that might have been caused by concussions and which might have helped bring about the suicides.
On one level, the impact of concussions and other head trauma is physical. Some ex-players experience such things as frequent and intense headaches. These can be so intense as to be debilitating. On another level, the problems are mental. Some ex-players have experienced memory loss on a serious scale. They can often suffer from losses in cognitive function. These men essentially have symptoms of dementia years before they should be likely to exhibit such symptoms were it not for the brain traumas they suffered. Finally, the problems can be emotional. There are links between cumulative traumas to the brain and depression. This link may help to explain why some players have committed suicide in recent years.
Thus, concussions and lesser injuries to the brain may be impairing the physical, mental, and emotional health of former NFL players.

Matthew E. White: Jazzbo Matriculator Unfurls Boldly Personal Sound On Epic Debut
"Before I went to school, I asked myself, 'What's the most fun job you can have?' I was a hippie guitar kid, so I pursued music."
Who: Matthew E. White had some funny expectations about the world of higher learning — expectations that a lot of musicians are never idealistic enough to entertain. "I thought that what you learn in college is what you go on to do professionally," says the former Virginia Commonwealth music major. "So before I went to school, I asked myself, 'What's the most fun job you can have?' I was a hippie guitar kid, so I pursued music." "Hippie guitar" wasn't in the course catalog, though, and White, now 29, opted for the jazz program. It took a while, but Big Inner (Spacebomb/Hometapes), his expansive, lushly arranged solo debut, bears the marks of his academic decision. "It's got the feel of a rock or pop album," says White, "but the horn arrangements are interesting, too. It's a mix of the personal and the polished."
Elegant Gypsy: A student of sophisticated '70s singer-songwriters and production genies, White, formerly of rowdy folk-pop group the Great White Jenkins and avant-jazz crew Fight the Big Bull, sets searching lyrics amidst rich string-and-horn textures on meditative Big Inner stunners like "Brazos" and "Gone Away." "There are things you can say with your arrangements that you can't say with your lyrics," says White. "I try and use the music to finish my lyrical sentences. That's something I learned from the Curtis Mayfields and Randy Newmans."
Keepin' The Faith: His paradox-resolving penchant for widescreen confessionalism isn't all that sets White apart from his indie-rock peers. The soft-spoken Southerner was raised in Virginia and the Philippines by his missionary parents. "Faith is tough to talk about because it's divisive," he says, "but I think the music speaks for itself. The last five minutes of the record are saying, 'Jesus Christ is our Lord; Jesus Christ is our friend.'"
Gather The Congregation: Big Inner was concocted at Spacebomb studios in Richmond, Virginia, which White runs with a handful of close friends, who record and play on each other's music. "Even the busiest artists have a lot of down time," he says. "Running a studio means I'm never not working on something." Sounds like his education paid off.

Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH
CLEVELAND -- His team down by 27 points and a promising season suddenly in peril, LeBron James walked off the floor to a smattering of boos and rows of empty seats.
If this was goodbye Cleveland, it wasn't the send-off he imagined.
The Boston Celtics have pushed the two-time MVP and the Cavaliers dangerously close to an early start to the Summer of LeBron.
Sheridan: LeBron's Cleveland Farewell?
When LeBron James is off his game the way he was on this particular Tuesday, the Cavs simply can't compete with Boston. So either James brings it in a big way Thursday, or we can bring on the educated guesses as to where he'll play next, writes Chris Sheridan. Daily Dime
Ray Allen scored 25 points, Rajon Rondo scored all of his 16 in the second half and the Celtics, once thought too old to challenge for another title, beat James and the Cavs 120-88 in Game 5 on Tuesday night to move within one win of knocking the league's top team from the playoffs.
Paul Pierce added 21 and Kevin Garnett 18 for the Celtics, who handed the Cavs their worst home playoff loss in history and can end Cleveland's season with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night.
"We cannot come back here," Garnett said. "We have to think this is our Game 7 coming up and we cannot afford to have the best team in the league have a Game 7 on their floor. Just not possible."
James, on the verge of an expected trip into free agency on July 1, had an atrocious game. He scored 15 points on 3-of-14 shooting, a startling outing for the 25-year-old who has been playing with a sprained elbow. He refused to use his injury as an excuse.
Celtics Storm Cleveland
Boston beat Cleveland by the largest margin of victory ever in a Game 5 with the series tied in a seven-game series.
Margin | Opponent | |
2010 Celtics | +32 | Cavaliers |
2003 Lakers | +30 | Timberwolves |
1972 Knicks | +24 | Bullets |
1995 Rockets | +21 | Spurs |
"I missed a lot of open shots that I normally make," he said with little emotion. "You don't see that out of me a lot so when it happens, it's a big surprise."
Because of James' uncertain future, Game 5 may have been his last at home for Cleveland and it has set up Game 6 as the most important in franchise history: Win and force Game 7 on Sunday in Cleveland; lose and maybe watch James, the local kid trying to deliver this city its first pro championship since 1964, leave for good.
"Our backs are against the wall," James said. "We've won on that floor before and we've got to get it done."
As for this potentially being his last game in Cleveland, James added: "I didn't even think about that. Me sitting up here and saying this is potentially our last game here this season, that wouldn't be me and that wouldn't be our team."
Rondo, coming off a 29-point, 18-rebound, 13-assist performance in Game 4, was held without a point in the first half as the Cavs concentrated their defense on stopping the point guard from penetrating into the paint. He finally got loose in the third, scoring 12 as the Celtics opened a 21-point lead.
Boston went up by 24 in the fourth, sending battered Cleveland fans toward the exits.
James finally checked out with 3:58 left and the Celtics leading by 27. He shrugged his shoulders and slapped hands with Cleveland's coaches and teammate Shaquille O'Neal, who had 21 points and afterward stated the obvious.
"It's plain and simple," said O'Neal, who came to Cleveland determined "to win a ring for the King." "We've got to win two in a row. We've got to man up. I've been in this situation before."
Before the game, Celtics coach Doc Rivers said his team would not change its strategy.
Big Three Huge In Game 5
Boston's trio of Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce had their best combined game of the series on Tuesday night.
First 4 Games | Game 5 | |
FG pct. | 41.0 | 52.1 |
3-pt FG pct. | 23.8 | 58.3 |
"We are who we are," Rivers said. "We don't need anyone to play hero basketball. We have to be a team. We're good when we're a team."
And through five games, the Celtics have been the better one. Because of injuries, Boston, two years removed from its 17th NBA championship, never found its groove in the regular season.
The Celtics got it now.
They've outperformed the top-seeded Cavs in almost every aspect of the game, outrunning and outhustling a younger team that with the addition of O'Neal, Antawn Jamison and Anthony Parker, was built for the postseason but has yet to show it's serious about winning a title.
"We've done nothing," Rivers said. "We've won three games but we've got to win four."
Allen opened the second half with back-to-back 3s, pushing Boston's six-point halftime lead to 12 and deflating already nervous Cleveland fans, who have seen so many of their teams choke in pressure situations before.
In the first half, the Cavs did a brilliant job on Rondo, who didn't score his first points until the 9:47 mark of the third quarter. But by then, the Celtics had opened their double-digit lead and with James misfiring from the outside, Cleveland was in big trouble.
James missed his first seven shots before he got loose on a leak-out dunk with 6:15 left in the third.
The Cavs led 29-21 when, with Rondo on the bench, Boston's Big Three of Allen, Garnett and Pierce did all the scoring in a 16-0 run that put the Celtics ahead by eight.
Game notes
Kentucky coach John Calipari, a friend of James, sat courtside with James' agent, Leon Rose -- just a few seats from Cavs owner Dan Gilbert. ... Rivers was asked if Rondo's postseason breakout signifies a passing of the Celtics' torch from Boston's Big Three. "I'm just trying to get them to pass the ball to each other," he joked. "That torch stuff, I'm going to leave that alone. If they pass it to each other, I'm good." ... Joe Tait, the Cavs' radio voice for 38 seasons, and Boston Globe reporter Jackie MacMullan will receive the Curt Gowdy Media Awards at the Basketball Hall of Fame this summer. MacMullan is the first woman to be honored.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

[Madison, Wis.] – Last year, millionaire Mary Burke was more than willing to vote in favor of a budget that increased taxes by nearly 5%, and ultimately, for a budget that increased taxes by the maximum amount permitted by law.
Now, as she prepares to announce a run for Governor, Democratic Party Bosses have pushed Burke to conceal her true record. But the bottom line remains: Burke is another tax-and-spend liberal with a long record of supporting tax hikes and policies that would take Wisconsin backward.
"As Democratic Party elite have worked to clear the field for Mary Burke, she is trying in vain to hide her disastrous record: massive tax increases, big budget deficits, and policies that led to substantial job loss," said Joe Fadness, Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
Liberal blogger Jeff Simpson from Cognitive Dissidence, said in response to Mary Burke's transparent shift and budget vote:
- "Can we please put an end to the Mary Burke for Governor talk?"[1]
As the Madison millionaire has attempted to keep her backward polices out of the public eye, the Democratic Base continues to be upset with the Party's strategy. Democratic State Senator Kathleen Vinehout, on her potential run and being the candidate of the grassroots:
- "I think that Chairman Tate very much would like to have a situation where there was no primary," but added that "the candidate with all the money maybe isn't the best candidate."[2]
Former Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz on Winnebago County Executive Mark Harris being forced out of the race:
- "Apparently, pressure was put on Harris (or at least arguments were made to him) that a primary was a bad thing. Now that is, in another single word, ridiculous."[3]
"It's clear that Mary Burke is just another out of touch liberal, whose policies caused the deficits and jobs loss that Scott Walker fixed when he took office," continued Fadness. "The people of Wisconsin know better. Voters want leaders who stand with the hardworking taxpayers, not the Party Bosses and special interests."
[1] (Cognitive Dissidence, "Same Old Song," 08/28/13)
[2] (Upfront with Mike Gousha, "Vinehout 'seriously considering' run for governor," 09/01/13)
[3] (The Isthmus, "Citizen Dave: Money matters less in elections than the Wisconsin Democrats think," 09/03/13)

Ask.com (originally known as Ask Jeeves) is a question answering-focused web search engine founded in 1995 by Garrett Gruener and David Warthen in Berkeley, California. The original software was implemented by Gary Chevsky from his own design. Warthen, Chevsky, Justin Grant, and others built the early AskJeeves.com website around that core engine. In late 2010, facing insurmountable competition from Google, the company outsourced its web search technology and returned to its roots as a question and answer site.[2] Douglas Leeds was elevated from president to CEO in 2010.[3]
Ask.com is noted for a malware toolbar that can be surreptitiously bundled in with legitimate program installations, and which generally cannot be easily removed from most common browsers once installed.[4][5][6]
Three venture capital firms, Highland Capital Partners, Institutional Venture Partners, and The RODA Group were early investors.[7] Ask.com is currently owned by InterActiveCorp under the NASDAQ symbol IAC.
Ask.com was originally known as Ask Jeeves, "Jeeves" being the name of a "gentleman's personal gentleman", or valet, fetching answers to any question asked. The character was based on Bertie Wooster's valet Jeeves, in the fictional works of P. G. Wodehouse.
The original idea behind Ask Jeeves was to allow users to get answers to questions posed in everyday, natural language, as well as by traditional keyword searching. The current Ask.com still supports this, with support for math, dictionary, and conversion questions.
In 2005 the company announced plans to phase out Jeeves and on February 27, 2006, the character disappeared from Ask.com. He was stated to be "going into retirement." However, the UK/Ireland edition of the website prominently brought the character back in 2009.
InterActiveCorp owns a variety of sites including country-specific sites for UK, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and Spain along with Ask Kids, Teoma (now ExpertRank[8]) and several others. On June 5, 2007, Ask.com relaunched with a 3D look.[9]
On May 16, 2006, Ask implemented a "Binoculars Site Preview" into its search results. On search results pages, the "Binoculars" let searchers capture a sneak peek of the page they could visit with a mouse-over activating screenshot pop-up.
In December 2007, Ask released the AskEraser feature,[10] allowing users to opt-out from tracking of search queries and IP and cookie values. They also vowed to erase this data after 18 months if the AskEraser option is not set. HTTP cookies must be enabled for AskEraser to function.[11][12]
On July 4, 2008, InterActiveCorperation announced the acquisition of Lexico Publishing Group, which owns Dictionary.com, Thesaurus.com, and Reference.com.[13][14]
On July 26, 2010, Ask.com released a closed-beta Q&A service. The service was released to the public on July 29, 2010.[15] Ask.com launched its mobile Q&A app for the iPhone in late 2010.[16]
Ask.com now reaches 100 million global users per month[17] through its website with more than 2 million downloads of its flagship mobile app.[18] The company has also released additional apps spun out of its Q&A experience, including Ask Around[19] in 2011 and PollRoll[20] in 2012.
Ask Jeeves, Inc. stock traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange from July 1999 to July 2005, under the ticker symbol ASKJ. In July 2005, the ASKJ ticker was retired upon the acquisition by InterActiveCorp, valuing ASKJ at US$1.85 billion.
In 2012 Ask.com made two acquisitions as part of a larger strategy to offer more content on the Ask.com website. On July 2, 2012, Ask.com purchased content discovery start-up,[21] nRelate, for an undisclosed amount. That was followed by the company's acquisition of expert advice and information site About.com, which closed in September 2012.[22]
On August 14, 2014, Ask.com acquired popular social networking website, Ask.fm, where users can ask other users questions, with the option of anonymity.[23] As of August 14, 2014, Ask.fm had 180 million monthly uniqe users in more than 150 countries around the world,[24] with its largest user base in the United States.[25] Available on the web and as a mobile app, Ask.fm generates an estimated 20,000 questions per minute with approximately 45 percent of its mobile monthly active users logging in daily.[26] To date, the mobile app has been downloaded more than 40 million times.[26]
Formerly the direct sales engine for Ask.com, Ask Sponsored Listings is no longer available, merging with Sendori, an operating business of IAC, in 2011.[27]
The Ask Toolbar is a web-browser add-on that can appear as an extra bar added to the browser's window and/or menu. As it cannot be easily removed by using built-in uninstall features,[28] it is often referred to as malware. The Ask.com toolbar is often unintentionally installed during the installation of partner software, including Oracle Java; this may take advantage of a user's lack of critical evaluation. As an operating business of InterActiveCorp,[29] Ask Partner Network has entered into partnerships with some software security vendors, whereby they distribute the toolbar alongside their software.[30] Installer packages for partner companies have an option (opt-out) to install the Ask Toolbar and/or change the user's default browser home page to Ask.com.
Ask.com and its parent company IAC have been heavily criticized due to malware-like features of the toolbar, and also due to the opt-out, rather than opt-in nature of the bundle installation process.[31] Instructions to remove the toolbar can be found on the Ask.com Help Center.[32]
Apostolos Gerasoulis, the co-creator of Ask's Teoma algorithmic search technology, starred in four television advertisements in 2007, extolling the virtues of Ask.com's usefulness for information relevance.[33] There was a Jeeves balloon in the 2001 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
After a hiatus from mass consumer marketing, Ask returned to TV advertising in the fall of 2011 after refocusing its site on questions and answers.[34] Instead of national advertising, Ask focused on local markets with basic creative. In the summer of 2012, Ask launched a national cinema campaign,[35] and along with other out-of-home tactics in certain markets such as New York and Seattle.[36]
As part of a Seattle-based local market effort, Ask.com launched its "You Asked We Answered"[37] campaign in 2012, in which the company "answered" residents' top complaints about living in their city, including easing morning commutes and stadium traffic, as well as keeping the local Parks & Rec department wading pools open.
This article is outdated. (August 2014) |
On January 14, 2009, Ask.com became the official sponsor of NASCAR driver Bobby Labonte's No. 96 car. Ask would become the official search engine of NASCAR.[38] Ask.com will be the primary sponsor for the No. 96 for 18 of the first 21 races and has rights to increase this to a total of 29 races this season.[39] The Ask.com car debuted in the 2009 Bud Shootout where it failed to finish the race but subsequently has come back strong placing as high as 5th in the March 1, 2009 Shelby 427 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.[40] Ask.com's foray into NASCAR is the first instance of its venture into what it calls Super Verticals.[41]
In 2010 Ask.com abandoned the search industry, with the loss of 130 search engineering jobs, because it could not compete against more popular search engines such as Google. Earlier in the year, Ask had launched a Q&A community for generating answers from real people as opposed to search algorithms then combined this with its question-and–answer repository, utilizing its extensive history of archived query data to search sites that provide answers to questions people have.[42] To avoid a situation in which no answers were available from its own resources, the company outsourced to an unnamed third-party search provider the comprehensive web search matches that it had gathered itself.[43]

With temperatures soaring above 30°C, it's natural instinct to jump into a swimming pool to get out of the blistering heat. But it's a tragic nightmare for parents and the Royal Life Saving Society Australia (RLSSA) when children drown.
According to the RLSSA's latest National Drowning Report, the number of children under four-years-old who drowned doubled to 32 between July last year and this June. And about 60% of the under-fours who drowned did so in swimming pools. This has prompted the RLSSA to issue a warning to pool owners to child-proof their swimming pools. As part of its Keep Watch campaign – aimed at preventing drowning deaths of children in all aquatic locations – the RLSSA has created a free safety checklist online (www.homepoolsafety.com.au) which includes advice on how to check that your pool fences are secure, as well as safety tips such as informing all pool users where and how to switch off the pool/spa pump.
Be sure to check the CHOICE pool fence review as well, where five out of 16 failed to meet safety standards. We also give you the low-down of how each type of fence, such as flat top and loop top, stand up to safety standards and what exactly to look out for before you buy a pool fence.
16 Sep 2014 | Whether you're a new pool owner or thinking about upgrading your old fencing, our test and checklists will help keep your family safe this summer.
20 Jul 2008 | We subjected seven cleaners to difficult test conditions using a variety of common pool debris to see how they would cope.

Hebb's rule (1949) states that learning and memory are based on modifications of synaptic strength among neurons that are simultaneously active. This implies that enhanced synaptic coincidence detection would lead to better learning and memory. If the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor, a synaptic coincidence detector, acts as a graded switch for memory formation, enhanced signal detection by NMDA receptors should enhance learning and memory. Here we show that overexpression of NMDA receptor 2B (NR2B) in the forebrains of transgenic mice leads to enhanced activation of NMDA receptors, facilitating synaptic potentiation in response to stimulation at 10-100 Hz. These mice exhibit superior ability in learning and memory in various behavioural tasks, showing that NR2B is critical in gating the age-dependent threshold for plasticity and memory formation. NMDA-receptor-dependent modifications of synaptic efficacy, therefore, represent a unifying mechanism for associative learning and memory. Our results suggest that genetic enhancement of mental and cognitive attributes such as intelligence and memory in mammals is feasible.

Speed up the shutdown process in OS X
When you shut down your Mac, OS X will attempt to cleanly exit programs and background services; however, under some circumstances this can take an exceptionally long time, so that the system waits for minutes before finally shutting down. Sometimes this is the system waiting for an interaction such as you saving a document, but at other times it is because background services have stopped responding and the system is waiting a predetermined amount of time before forcing them to quit.
Generally OS X should take only a few seconds to shut down, so if your system is consistently taking … Read more

BlackRock Strategist Urges Caution Amid Market's Recent Surge
Equity markets are poised for a retreat after reaching record-high rallies, said BlackRock's top investment strategist.
Russ Koesterich, the global chief investment strategist at BlackRock, said the magnitude of recent gains in the stock market is causing some indicators to "flash yellow."
After spiking a couple of weeks ago, volatility measures have again fallen, suggesting that market complacency may be indicating investor wariness that the market can climb much further. A pullback in stocks appears to be in progress, Koesterich said.
The BlackRock strategist also said corporate earnings growth has not kept pace with stock price gains, meaning that valuations are less attractive than they were a few months ago even though they remain cheap compared to bonds and cash.
"While none of this means that the rally is over, it does suggest that investors should become more selective as they look at potential investment opportunities," Koesterich said. U.S. mega-cap stocks look particularly attractive in this regard, offering compelling valuations and high profitability, he said. In contrast, small-cap stocks are looking relatively expensive in his view. In midday Wednesday, the S&P 500 was off 0.11% at 1,550.68 on midday on Wednesday following the gauge's seven-day winning streak that pushed the index to its highest level in more than five years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was dropping 3.46 points, or 0.02%, to 14,446.6 after the blue-chip index on Tuesday recorded an eighth-consecutive winning session, catapulting the gauge to a record high.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Tip: Avoid CNET Download.com's ad-supported installer by using the Direct Download Link
Posted By Ashraf On February 28, 2012 @ 12:00 AM In Keeping Them Honest | 39 Comments
Last year CNET started bundling an "ad-supported stub installer" with downloads on Download.com [2]. This installer was CNET's way to bring Ask Toolbar-like crapware bundles to CNET downloads. The installer wasn't added to all downloads on Download.com but was added to enough downloads for people to take notice and come up in arms. Back then the only ways to avoid installing crapware courtesy CNET was to either
While I'm sure many people opted for option number three, there are still times some people download from Download.com (sometimes we have no option except to use Download.com because some developers only put their files on Download.com). For those of us that still use Download.com, you will be relieved to know Download.com now clearly marks downloads that have the CNET ad-supported stub installer as "CNET Installer Enabled"; and Download.com now allows everyone to download via a Direct Download Link that bypasses the CNET installer — you no longer need a CNET account for a direct download. So the next time you venture to Download.com, keep your eyes open for a direct download link when downloading software that come with CNET installer.
Stay safe everyone.

Ultima Vez Modificado: 1 de noviembre del 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My Mom was diagnosed with Myelodysplasia. Mom has been on various forms of medication to encourage her bone marrow into producing red blood cells. So far nothing has worked. Mom's hematologist is now putting her on Rituxan. Please explain why?
Thank you.
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Myelodysplasia is a disorder in which the bone marrow cells do not work properly and often look funny as well. As a result, the bone marrow cells do not mature properly, resulting in an inadequate number of red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets or a combination of all three. There are several options in the treatment of myelodysplasia:
Oct 8, 2010 - Postnatal diagnostic X-ray exposure may be associated with an increased risk of childhood acute lymphoid leukemia, specifically B-cell acute lymphoid leukemia, according to a study published online Oct. 1 in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

Newroz celebrations overshadowed by political conflict
When public celebrations of Newroz were outlawed by authorities at the weekend, the Kurdish community refused to back down.
By Anna Wood and Ethem Cagir for SES Türkiye in Istanbul and Batman and Diyarbakir -- 21/03/12

"No ban can hold us back," she proclaimed proudly.
Moments later, 19-year-old Leyla -- along with the rest of the estimated 500 Kurds who had come to Kazlicesme on Sunday morning to celebrate the spring festival of Newroz -- were running from clouds of tear gas launched by the Istanbul police.
The use of force to disperse the crowd came as a surprise to no one, least of all the Kurds themselves, as days of mounting tension preceded this week's Newroz events.
When the governors of Istanbul and Diyarbakir announced separately that Newroz celebrations would not be allowed on Sunday (March 18th), presumably to prevent a large turnout, calling instead for them to be held on Wednesday, few imagined that Kurdish revelers would stay home.
On Tuesday (March 20th), protests continued in Batman, Yüksekova, Nusaybin, Mersin, Van, Cizre and many other cities in the southeast. At least protester in Istanbul was killed and more than 500 have been arrested throughout the country. Several police have been wounded, and one officer was killed in Cizre.
A day before the protests, Selahattin Demirtas, pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) MP, asked supporters directly to defy the ban.
"In order to take ownership of our own honorable future, our own free future, we say that the time has come to fill the public squares," he said.
In Diyarbakir, protesters clashed with police and set fires to a number of vehicles, until they broke through police barricades to reach the Newroz celebration area.
Speaking to the crowd, Diyarbakir Mayor Osman Baydemir said, "The people are determined in their struggle. Kurds want to gain recognition."
Demirtas and other members of the BDP left little room for dissent, arguing that showing up at the outlawed events was a necessary demonstration of loyalty and dedication to the Kurdish cause.
Those who heeded this call and gathered together were conscious of the fact that rather than singing, dancing and jumping over the traditional Newroz fires, the focus of the event would be protesting what Demirtas characterized as the "fascism" of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
In Batman, BDP Mardin deputy Ahmet Turk said that demonstrators are showing their resolve.
"You see that despite tens of arrests, restrictions and many other things, nearly a million people came out in Diyarbakir. They repeated their demands. We will continue these just demands in Batman," he told SES Türkiye, adding that 2012 would be the year Kurds gain their rights.
Turk was later hospitalised after pepper spray was tossed into his car. His is in good condition.
While each side is vocal in laying the blame on the other, professor of Turkish history Hakan Ozoglu said that the responsibility for events like these is shared.
"The government should lead by example and do anything possible to lower the tension that is rising," he told SES Türkiye. At the same time, however, "a great responsibility also falls on the Kurdish leaders in keeping the calm on the streets."
Meanwhile, President Abdullah Gül asked for "everybody to display caution and not to provide opportunity for attempts that could harm the climate of peace and fraternity." "Our differences and diversity are our greatest wealth," he said, adding that "everybody is an inseparable and equal part of this nation regardless of their ethnic roots, language, faith or political conviction."
Though events surrounding Newroz do not shed light on solutions to the ongoing political conflict, they do underscore the fact that neither the Kurdish people nor the Turkish state are willing to soften their position.
In the eyes of some members of the Kurdish community, the huge turnout in Diyarbakır and the events in Istanbul symbolise the Kurds' refusal to back down. Through its failure to deter the crowd, "the state made the serious tactical error of revealing its own illegitimacy," Mirbeg Tlax, a Kurd from southern Turkey, told SES Türkiye.
The Kurdish community and its Turkish advocates are asking how the state can celebrate democratisation in the Mediterranean region while still denying democratic rights to many of its own people.
Kurdish parliamentarians seem to be going one step further. They are not simply asking questions; they are demanding results, and warning that the current level of tension will worsen if solutions to these ongoing problems aren't reached.
Arif Demiroglu, a 45-year-old farmer from Batman, sums up many Kurds' thoughts: "We live in 2012 but we still can't dance halay [a Kurdish dance], we can't celebrate our holiday."

Health hazzards..A beautician's concern
We think of chemicals as an accepted part of the beautician's job but that doesn't mean we need to damage health from it…
We all know that there are chemicals and processes we use, in the salon, that can indeed effect health. And not only our clients health but the beautician as well. And when you think about it, it isn't just a salon, but from Indiana to Florida and coast to coast, any public place has hazzards that need attention in order to lessen public danger.
First, a salon has people coming in and out and all those people bring all those germs… all flus and viruses get transmitted one to another, and bacteria can collect and flourish anywhere. In fact, the one place everyone seems to meet and "shake hands" is in touching a doornob or door handle. Hand after hand and cough after cough, germs collect and get passed around quite easily.
Invest in a sanitizer disinfectant, the kind we now find at the big box stores readily available near the entrance. It is offered to wipe down and disinfect the bar on the shopping carts to make sure we don't take home something from our shopping spree that we weren't actually shopping for. Have it readily available at areas around your shop, or if it seems to be visually negative, suggesting that the area is slightly threatening, then at least use it yourself on a regular basis.
Also, wipe down the door handles and chair arms where people tend to put hands all the time. Make sure the restroom handle is wiped as well as disinfected and kept clean inside. Your clients spend an hour at a time in your salon, but you will come into contact with nearly everyone that comes in, so it pays to take care in that area.
And what about chemicals? So many airborne chemicals are unhealthy to breathe, and since they evaporate into the air, they end up being a real health problem. Ventilation is important but often not enough, what with all the dyes, fragrances, hair spray, polish, hardeners, adhesives and what ever else you use in the accomplishment of your task.
Air conditioning will help and it is vital to have constant air circulation, changing out the fumes for fresh air. An air purifier can help too, in fact some are really efficient. Some air filters are double equiped to filter particles out of the air, and can remove chemicals and odors quite nicely. They are referred to as "particle arresting" air filters and are designed specifically for areas such as your salon. It's worth the trouble to protect the health of everyone in your salon.

"Crashes a lot/is slow"
Usually works fine
but crashes at least once a day or gets frozen A LOT (the spinning beach ball of death). I don't even have that many tabs open. (Maybe 5 max? Usually 3 though. No more than 2 windows)

I concur. Firefox hangs repeatedly, requiring a hard shutdown. I always send this info to Firefox, but from all indications, they aren't listening. Too bad. Were it not for this MAJOR source of frustration, FF would be worth sticking with. I've finally decided that I can't take this c--p any longer & am switching to Navigator.

Colby College Museum of Art
ARTstor is collaborating with the Colby College Museum of Art to share approximately 2,600 images from the permanent collection, which specializes in American paintings, sculpture, and works on paper from the 18th century to the present. Notable American artists represented in the permanent collection include George Bellows, Albert Bierstadt, William Merritt Chase, Chuck Close, John Singleton Copley, Dan Flavin, Marsden Hartley, Winslow Homer, Sol LeWitt, John Marin, Agnes Martin, Elizabeth Murray, Georgia O'Keeffe, Richard Serra, Kara Walker, James McNeill Whistler, and Terry Winters. In 2007, Peter and Paula Lunder promised their collection of more than 500 significant works of 19th- and 20th-century American art to the museum, constituting one of the most important art collections ever to be donated to a liberal arts college. The museum's holdings also include examples of American folk art, European prints and drawings, Greek and Roman antiquities, and Chinese art and ceramics.
A highlight of the Museum's collection is approximately 760 works by the American artist Alex Katz (b. 1927). Katz received an honorary doctorate from Colby College in 1984 and currently serves on the Colby Museum's board of governors. In 1992, Katz donated more than 400 of his works to the museum. Today, the museum's collection includes more than 700 paintings, painted sculptures, and works on paper by Katz. A rotating selection of these works is displayed in the Paul J. Schupf Wing for the Works of Alex Katz, one of the few museum wings in the United States devoted solely to the work of a single living artist.
Founded in 1959, the Colby College Museum of Art has built a significant permanent collection of more than 6,000 works. The museum serves both as a teaching resource for Colby College and as an active cultural institution for the residents of Maine and visitors to the state. In 1999, with a lead gift from Peter and Paula Lunder, the museum opened a new wing designed by the architect Frederick Fisher and Partners, comprising 13 galleries and 9,000 square feet of additional exhibition space. A new wing, also designed by Frederick Fisher, is being planned for completion in 2013. With an additional 10,000 square feet of exhibition space, the Colby Museum will be the largest museum in the state of Maine.

The Editor's Corner: Women and Power
Jane Chesnutt discusses Diane Sawyer's latest achievement
By Jane Chesnutt
Special Offer
When a major TV network announces the appointment of a female news anchor, making two of them (er…us) in that position, and it doesn't become front-page news, that will be news.
I'll take what we have for now. I'm certainly old enough to know that women occupy significantly more positions of power and influence than they did when I started my career. My husband, who's even older, consistently reminds me that we've come even further than I think, since he was around in the really dark days when women rarely rose above the secretarial level in business. But I remain impatient.
Seventeen female senators out of 100. No female Vice-President or President. Ten female CEOs in the Fortune 500. Extend that to the Fortune 1000 and you get up to 20—no progress at all. Only this year did we have the very first woman-to-woman handoff of a Fortune 500 CEO position, from Anne Mulcahy to Ursula Burns at Xerox.
You may find this hard to believe, but it's only been recently that women's magazines had female editors-in-chief. Woman's Day actually has the distinction, of which I'm quite proud, of being the only traditional woman's magazine never to have had a male chief editor. When I came here in the late 1970s, only WD and Ladies' Home Journal had women at the helm; the last of the guys (a great guy, but a man nonetheless) didn't step down until the mid 1990s.
My two very smart stepgranddaughters are currently starting their careers; my two very smart nieces are in college. I would so like to think that when they reach my age they'll be able to look back and see more than an incremental change in the number of women in positions of real power. Because that's what it's been so far—incremental. While we may have come a long way from where we began, we started pretty much at scratch, leaving us a long distance yet to travel to true equity.
But back to Ms. Sawyer. I wish both her and competitor Katie Couric well. And Brian Williams. And I sincerely hope that the news coverage on the day after her January debut as ABC World News anchor isn't full of commentary on how she did her hair.
