To provide reference data on sleep duration throughout childhood and explore the demographic characteristics associated with sleep.
Population-based prospective longitudinal birth-cohort study.
South-West England, children born in 1991-1992 and followed since birth.
Eleven thousand five hundred children with repeat measures of sleep from birth based on parent-reported questionnaires. Data on daytime and nighttime sleep duration and timings and night awakenings at 8 timepoints from age 6 months to 11 years.
Total sleep duration steadily fell from 13 hours and 12 minutes during infancy to 9 hours and 49 minutes at 11 years of age. Compared with earlier studies, the younger children in this cohort slept for a shorter period. The variation in sleep duration was very wide: from 10 to 17 hours in early infancy, narrowing to 8.5 to 11 hours at 11 years. Half of the children at preschool age woke at least once during the night, but frequent waking (> 3 times) peaked in infancy (10% of all infants) and steadily declined in the preschool-aged years. Despite going to bed at the same time, girls slept consistently longer than boys (by 5-10 minutes). Children from low-income families went to bed later and woke up later, but there was little difference in total sleep duration. Children of younger mothers (< 21 years) slept longer, whereas children of older mothers (> 35 years) slept persistently less. Children in larger families tended to go to bed later, as did the minority group of non-White children in the cohort.
Given the wide natural variation of sleep in the childhood population, any recommendations on optimal sleep duration at any age must take into account considerable individual variability.

You overlook an obvious fact:
She doesn't actually know any of this.
MICHELE BACHMANN got herself in a bit of hot water with her assertion that America's founding fathers "worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States", somewhat oddly citing the example of John Quincy Adams, who was a child at the time of the founding—a founding father's son. George Stephanopolous challenged Ms Bachmann during her appearance on "Good Morning America" Tuesday. She stood her ground, again citing John Quincy Adams.
The really odd thing about this is that she is not altogether wrong, but she can't seem to get the right part right. Plenty of founders did fight hard to end slavery, but Ms Bachmann doesn't seem to know who they were. Part of the problem may be that conservatives' favourite founders, Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, held large numbers of human beings as slaves and did less than a lot about it. The really good guys on the slavery issue—which is to say on the human freedom issue—were not the Virginia plantation masters but the less-venerated "big government" Yankee founders who sped the abolition of slavery in the north.
The American Spectator's Jeffrey Lord twists a bit to put Jefferson and Madison in a favourable light, and it's true that both wanted slavery to end eventually. Mr Lord gets warmer when he notes Alexander Hamilton's role in the New York Manumission Society. But it was John Jay who was the real mastermind behind this admirable enterprise, and he got essential help from other legit founders like Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and my favourite, Gouverneur Morris (pictured). So how about some love for John Jay, a slaveholder of whom I think one can truly say that he worked tirelessly to end slavery? And Jay did more than get the New York Manumission Society off the ground. Behold:
In 1787, he helped found New York's African Free School, which by December 1788 had fifty-six students and which he continued to support financially. By the time the Manumission Society surrendered management to New York City in 1834, the school had educated well over 1,000 students.
Although he owned slaves himself, Jay had an explanation for this seemingly contradictory practice: "I purchase slaves and manumit them at proper ages and when their faithful services shall have afforded a reasonable retribution." His attitude toward slavery in New York followed the same gradualist line. In 1799 as governor of the state, Jay signed into law An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery. The measure provided that, from July 4th of that year, all children born to slave parents would be free ... and that slave exports would be prohibited.
Maybe next time Ms Bachmann discusses this issue, she can gives some credit to Jay, who, in addition to co-authoring The Federalist and serving as the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, actually put an end to slavery in New York.
Or how about a shout-out to Gouverneur Morris, the man who actually wrote the final draft of the Constitution? That ought to be a pretty impressive credential to any self-described "constitutional conservative". Here's what Morris said, to his eternal credit, on the idea of counting slaves as 3/5 of a person for the purpose of determining representation in the House:
Upon what principle is it that the slaves shall be computed in the representation? Are they men? Then make them citizens and let them vote. Are they property? Why then is no other property included? The houses in [Philadelphia] are worth more than all the wretched slaves that cover the rice swamps of South Carolina....The admission of slaves into the representation when fairly explained comes to this: that the inhabitant of Georgia and South Carolina who goes to the coast of Africa and, in defiance of the most sacred laws of humanity, tears away his fellow creatures from their dearest connections and damns them to the most cruel bondages, shall have more votes in a government instituted for the protection of the rights of mankind than the citizen of Pennsylvania or New Jersey who views with laudable horror so nefarious a practice.
By the way, this comes from the notes of James Madison, who proposed the 3/5 ratio that ultimately prevailed. Madison also reports of Morris that "He would sooner submit himself to a tax for paying for all such negroes in the U. States, than saddle posterity with such a Constitution." I take this to mean that Morris would have preferred a tax that would buy the freedom of all America's slaves from their masters over a constitution that not only codifies but rewards human bondage. Quite right. Because taxation is not slavery; slavery is slavery. However, thanks to our eminent and not-so-eminent southern, pro-slavery founders, no such option was ever on the table.
Ms Bachmann can easily correct the record, and sound smart to boot, by insisting on a distinction between those founders who really did fight tirelessly to end slavery and those who fought tirelessly to tilt the young country's balance of power toward states filled with human chattel who could not vote. And she ought to stop name-checking John Quincy Adams and start agitating for the eternal glory of John Jay. Or Gouverneur Morris. He had a peg leg.

You overlook an obvious fact:
She doesn't actually know any of this.
Belief often needs to contradict facts because it's easier to pretend the facts are different than to change your beliefs to fit. If you define your beliefs as Truth with a capital T, then facts must yield.
In a current Pew survey, only 3% of Evangelicals accept the fact of evolution. We now have Presidential candidates who don't accept basic facts of reality and who ascribe to beliefs that require rewriting facts to fit their version of Truth.
I noted this on another post but it's more than ironic that the US, which formerly prided itself on common sense, has become dramatically more driven by ideology even as nominally communist China has become dramatically more pragmatic. They took the Great Leap Forward and we could see that was insane because there are limits to how much belief can shape reality. Now we are the ones pursuing belief. We are the ones proclaiming that America is Exceptional because God ordained us- which to the Chinese now is as obviously insane as we saw them. We believe that returning to some weird version of The Founders' Constitution will result in God's bounty being poured upon us. Again, to an outsider, it's obviously ridiculous.
Maybe next time Ms Bachmann discusses this issue
How about:
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
I agree RR, I did not know most of this either. Of course, I am not going about running for President and making it a point to talk about this stuff on the TV. I like to think i would skim Wikipedia first, but who knows. I can be pretty lazy.
I may rename my cat Gouverneur.
Just as two examples, when I was writing a paper on state terrorism in Latin America, I was an expert on completely obscure details about everything from Woodrow Wilson's occupation of Haiti to the coup against Juan Peron in Argentina to the battle between the government of Uruguay and the Tupamoros. When I was reading 5-6 books on the Arab/Israeli conflict, I could off the top of my head point to individual battles in 1948 and their consequences. I've since forgotten much of what I've read, but if I were to go on national TV (or even debate these subjects on the Economist website) I would take a few minutes to brush up on my reading.
I would never attempt to speak as an authority about history which I knew only a rough outline of, especially if my impression of the facts was revisionist. If I'm going to challenge the conventional wisdom, I will make absolutely certain to the best of my ability that I can answer all questions on the spot.
If I were making a comment on the matter in a national setting, I would absolutely know the history from top to bottom, at least for a few months. With some superhuman exceptions like Christopher Hitchens and Noam Chomsky, it's true that most historians and commentators only remember the rough outlines of most topics when they don't have access to their written material. When they're preparing for a speech or debate about a specific topic, however, they spend some time immersing themselves in the relevant literature.
Former Republican primary candidate Pat Buchanan did just that when defending his unorthodox view of Churchill's role in WW2. The difference is that Buchanan is an old fashioned conservative who believes in knowing what he's talking about and looking to the real world rather than mythology for his platform. The irony is that Buchanan, sympathizer of European Fascism with its legacy of anti-intellectualism, defends his positions with far more facts and employment of logic than Bachmann or some of the other Tea Party demagogues.
If a candidate's claim to political legitimacy largely rests on the notion that they possess a uniquely fervent devotion to the Constitution and its framers, it's hardly unreasonable to expect them to know something about it.
Not to condone Mrs. Bachmann or her Alaskan analogue, but few people give pop quizzes on history to candidates unless they happen to be from the Tea Party, which tends to be reactionary, and apparently, history-deficient. Perhaps, as American writer LZ Granderson has penned, we ought to quiz the American people on the basics of history, before they vote. Or perhaps, more realistically and less tongue-in-cheek, all those running for state-level office or higher, ought to be able to pass a Middle School American History or Civics test.
Washington freed his slaves in his will, hardly "less than a lot".
Gouvernor Morris' peg leg in no way interfered with his having a very good time (see his Diary).
Wny would Bachmann take time to find out about the Founders, and risk confusing herself and her fans ? There is really no percentage in it for her.
Do you suppose she knows that John Adams and John Quincy Adams are two different people ?
The dumb thing about all this is that she spontaneously pops off on the topic, screws it up royally, and then doesn't bother to spend 10 minutes getting it sorted out. We don't usually give pop quizzes to voters, sure, but Bachmann was begging to get put on the spot, a very soft spot in this case, and incredibly she didn't care. And she gives the same now truly delusional and asinine answer?
Perhaps it really doesn't matter to those who might possibly consider voting for her.
Amazing. And she is drawing crowds. John Quincy Adams.
Vladimir Lemon,
Your assessment is correct.
Though I may disagree with Pat Buchanan in various areas,
I will at least listen to him because he knows his stuff.
I won't listen to Bachmann because she's got nothing between the ears, and she constantly proves it. (Much like Palin.)
@A_Voice, to be fair, we didn't know any of this either until WW pointed it out. I didn't even know who Gouverneur Morris was. That's not his position BTW. He was never governor. Gouverneur was his real name.
Interestingly enough, many of these comments, like the post itself, seem to believe that facts continue to have a privileged position in debate. But as the Bush Administration (especially Rove) appreciated first, facts may not be irrelevant, but they are now secondary. In an information dense world, there is always enough information floating around to support a relatively arbitrary belief system - the Fox News Nation exists not because it is fact-based, but because it is a strong and comforting worldview that, given a surfeit of information, is sustainable if properly fertilized (hence the need for Fox News). MB doesn't care about the facts, because she doesn't have to, at least with her base. CF creationism, climate change science, and other hobgoblins of our enlightened age.
Richard D. Quodomine wrote:

The pop quiz was in response to an assertion.
That happens to many politicians.
"A poor excuse is better than none."
Because abolitionist sentiment more or less correlates with whether a founding father was a federalist/anti federalist, I do expect candidates to know which founding fathers were abolitionists. This is definitely 6th grade US history material.
From Reason July 2004 (W.W.'s favorite) --
But it's hard to keep a brilliant, peg-legged man down. The recent glut of Morrisania -- two full-length biographies -- marks a welcome revival of the Founding Father Time Forgot. It's an important resurrection.
Apparently the resurrection is not important enough. Gouverneur Morris is still the Founding Father Time Forgot, regardless of peg leg.
Paul Revere was one of the "big important" points of the American War of Independence?
@jomiku, the Pew survey said 3% of evangelical leaders believe God wasn't involved in evolution. 41% believe God was involved in evolution.
"Now we are the ones pursuing belief. We are the ones proclaiming that America is Exceptional because God ordained us"
Manifest Destiny is hundreds of years old and has been waning.
"We believe that returning to some weird version of The Founders' Constitution will result in God's bounty being poured upon us. Again, to an outsider, it's obviously ridiculous."
The Chinese talk nostalgically about the Ming Dynasty. A "return to greatness" is a theme found in all former great empires.
@Vladimir Lemon, "when I was writing a paper on state terrorism in Latin America, I was an expert on completely obscure details about everything from Woodrow Wilson's occupation of Haiti to the coup against Juan Peron in Argentina to the battle between the government of Uruguay and the Tupamoros."
But did you know the name of Uruguay's foreign minister?
"When I was reading 5-6 books on the Arab/Israeli conflict, I could off the top of my head point to individual battles in 1948 and their consequences."
But did you know which Israeli prime ministers received an American education?
You can't possibly expect candidates to know everything about American history. They aren't running for American Revolution tour guide. I expect them to know the big important stuff like who Paul Revere was. I don't expect Bachmann to know which foundering fathers were abolitionists. Having said that, if she didn't know, she should've kept her mouth shut.
John Jay's legacy to posterity is that in the United States of America, even today, birth place dictates political rights among citizens and that accordingly, some citizens are unequivocally political second-class individuals in the political arena. Changing this fact would allow me to take "American values" a lot more seriously by bringing them into line with my own; "Freedom, Reason and Equality."

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.

Laina Mal
race: Human
Descritpion:Laina was a strong, but arrogant jedi guardian.Her decision to follow the Jedi Revan to war with the mandalorians led to her being exiled and in her arrogance she stepped forward and stabbed her lightsaber violently into the central pillar of the council room.
She went into exile and the force slowly left her.Laina Mal now lives on the isolated moon of Dxun.She stands at 5'9 and she has black short hair.
Lightsaber:When Laina was a jedi she carried a lightsaber crafted by her former master Kahmal Entusi.It was intricately designed with a black hilt, and silver weaved all around it.The force crystal was a dark red, and Laina was the only one on the council to have a red crystal.

Here are my stats.
Name: Geo Baké
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Height: 6'0"
Skin: White
Hair: Short, dark brown
Race: Human
Ever since Geo was a youngling, the Masters on Ilum, where he underwent his training, knew that he would be a Consular. Extremely strong in the Force, the boy lacked saber skills, however, and became content with learning the Soresu form of combat, though now he prefers Form Zero (only activating a saber in extreme and dire circumstances and relying on Force powers for the most part). When such a dire event did occur, however, Geo felt that the defensive Soresu fighting style would keep any enemy at bay. Now at the age of twenty, Geo has just completed his Padawan-ship and is one of the first new Knights since the formation of the new Order. With his new lightstaff in hand, Geo is now ready to do his duty and protect peace in the Galaxy.
Understanding that the purpose of a Jedi was peacekeeping and defense, Geo crafted a special lightsaber for his use. Because of its unusual characteristics, it took the Knight 2 months to complete. The hilt itself is nearly a meter long, and can be used as a staff for non-lethal combat, or a walking stick in order to blend in with locals. There is a cap on the top which, if covering the hilt, prohibits the saber from being activated. Once it is flipped off, the lightstaff can be turned on and used. The blade is green, representing the Knight's rank as a Consular, and has a Bondar crystal upgrade.
Note: If you're unsure of what I'm talking about, go here for a description and picture (click on the picture for a larger view and a picture of the cap): http://freewebhosting.hostdepartment.com/J/JaymachRalTir/weapons2.html

This weekend, Huntington Beach will step back in time 150 years.
It's the 20th anniversary of Civil War Days in Huntington Central Park, an event in which hundreds of re-enactors from across Southern California turn out to share a living history of life in the 19th century.
Camps will be set up, battles will ensue and President Abraham Lincoln will deliver his Gettysburg Address – one of the most iconic speeches in American history. Lincoln gave the address 150 years ago at the dedication of Soldiers' National Cemetery about four months after Union forces defeated the Confederates at Gettysburg, Penn.
"We just try to give the audience an experience of what it was like – what was important to people then, why we are fighting, how (we fought)," said Darrell Rivers, whose family founded Civil War Days. "Families of all ages come out and do camp life."
This year's event, which is free to the public, opens at 10 a.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday in the park between Slater and Talbert avenues.
Battle times are 1:30 and 4 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday. About 15 minutes after each battle, President Lincoln will deliver the Gettysburg Address.
When not watching the Union take on the Confederacy, visitors can check out the camps set up by re-enactors and learn how life was lived during the Civil War and how the soldiers prepared for battle.
Weapons demonstrations, a Sunday morning church service and performances by the U.S. Marine Band are also part of this weekend's festivities.
For more details on Civil War days, visit hbcivilwar.webs.com.
Downtown Task Force sets first meeting
A committee tasked with studying the issues that plague downtown and brainstorming solutions will hold its first meeting Sept. 12.
The Huntington Beach Downtown Task Force, made up of residents, City Council members, city staff, public safety representatives and business owners, will meet twice a month to look at how to increase the vibrancy of downtown while cutting back on alcohol-related issues.
The idea for a task force was prompted by concerns about alcohol-related crime and nuisance behavior in the area, but the need for such a committee was further underscored when a riot broke out after the close of the U.S. Open of Surfing on July 28, causing thousands of dollars in property damage.
The public is invited to attend the twice-monthly meetings to share input, concerns and ideas.
Task Force members are:

Why don't MS get Rare to make good videogames?

Lack of creative knowledge on contributing to games themselves is MS' problem. Sony, Nintendo & SEGA had actual hands on experience making games of every genre, especially sega... I miss sega. --- PSN:TheDragonzord >_> Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles HD remix please | |
The legitimate answer is simply that all the new IP and ideas they've had since their Microsoft acquisition underperformed. Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Kameo, Banjo Nuts and Bolts and Viva Pinata all sold less than they needed to in order to assure Microsoft that creative new IPs were the way to go; Kinect Sports are now the "safe" attempts to recoup some of the losses. When I had my contract there, I remember doing some of the art for Kameo 2 and Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and recall the very day they shut down Kameo 2 - we were basically told, "focus on stuff that's nearly finished and forget about developing phase-1 products." The ironic thing is that Microsoft asked them to make something "completely new, completely Rare", and when the slew of new, unique ideas came out, people defied and spat at it, saying "We just wanted more Super Mario 64 clones!" (remember, Banjo Kazooie started off as a bet with Nintendo that they could make a clone that beat them at their own game). Rare genuinely wanted to be unique. It's just that nobody bought "unique". And people wonder why we get the same stuff over and over! --- Double Jump Game Comics: http://doublejump.thecomicseries.com/ | |

Viva Pinata was GOLD. I bought it, and the sequel. People who want Rare to be innovative need to look in the mirror if they didn't at least give Viva Pinata a try. I know a few people personally that just thought it was "kiddy" and never gave it a chance. --- Fanboys (of all stripes) are sad, pathetic, souls. You know who you are. | |
they already do. kinect sports rivals is great and the best use of motion controls, ever. --- Founding member of the GameFAQS Trillionares club. Adapt or Die. GT: Tyron3L1o | |
I feel a rare game that's not kinect is comeing soon. --- Every one has there own opinions unless theirs is stupid. | |
I think MS wants rare to make good video games, rare just doesnt know how to make good games for ms. The console market audiences have, in my opinion, come to expect different things from each console. Sony's good at the kitchy-japan flavor archetype stuff, nintendo's great at family friendly pixar thing, and xbox has become the go-to destination for the cool, slick, gritty, grownup-america vibe. I dont see rare fitting in with an xbox library--that has things like halo, gears, forza, the real fable, dead rising, crackdown, alanwake, ryse, titanfall, sunset overdrive and quantum break--with the cuddly cartoon mascots that they consistently bring up when left to their own devices. I cant speak for any of you, but the horse from viva pinatta makes no sense standing next to everything else in that line up. I'd personally rather see them make a non goofy perfect dark, have them assigned to a proper mech warrior reboot or start making different kinds of games for our avatars. --- MSI Z87-G45 | I7-4771 Turbo | GTX 770 4GB GDDR5 | Corsair HX 850W | Kingston Hyper X 8GB DDR3 | 1TB 128 MB Cache HD| Windows 8.1 | 360 | XB1 | |
TC is stuck in nostalgia, playing 15 year old games and having many childhood memories come back, making the game better than it actually is. --- Owner of: Ps3/ 360/ XB1/ Aesthetic mind | |
What's wrong with the cartoon mascots? They are great and would open Xbox up to a whole New audience. I pretty much hate all of the games you mentioned except Halo and Sunset Overdrive, which are very colourful and fun. I actually liked Banjo Kazooie Nuts ans Bolts |

Doug doesn't have his own computer. How many times do I have to say no? The US Women choked. It's hard to imagine world-class athletes missing the net by that much. You can't blame the coaches. Japan needed a good story. Whether you're a soccer fan or not, that game was compelling. Shouldn't they play Golden Goal? DOWNLOAD
SEGMENT 2-- --- Joe traveled west to see Travis Tritt at the Lincoln County Fair. I appreciate rural living, although hygiene and fashion are ten years behind the norm. People complained about the U2 set list. DOWNLOAD
SEGMENT 3-- --- I'm going to guess computer malfunction. The Pittsburgh Pirates are ahead of the Cardinals by a percentage. Colby is 4 for his last 33. It's unfair to compare any players to Colby Rasmus right now. Is sending Colby to AAA a good idea? Something needs to happen. DOWNLOAD

The Cardinal Cowboy joins the show for a free plug to his website. He did not make it to U2. Big Puma and the CC are buddies. Superman never gets into the stadium.

About the Study
During the study, researchers administered a series of low-dose infusions of umbilical cord blood cells into mice with abnormalities mimicking Alzheimer's disease. As they observed the mice, they found that the levels of amyloid-beta proteins, which are key markers of Alzheimer's progression in the brain, were reduced by nearly two-thirds (62%), and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA, another marker of the disease in which the amyloid proteins harden the brain's blood vessel walls) was improved by 86 percent. The cord blood infusions were shown to suppress the inflammatory activity, which indicates their potential to block the inflammatory response involved in Alzheimer's disease and also related disorders.
Importantly, these reductions were associated with managing circulating and brain soluble CD40L levels, amino acids that are key contributors to brain inflammation and disease progression. Previous research has suggested that blocking CD40L levels can help minimize amyloid protein activity, improve cognition and manage disease progression in Alzheimer's models. The study concluded that the therapy may alleviate several important pathological changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease, and should be studied further in human trials to fully understand its potential.
"We are looking closely at how stem cells can benefit particular
conditions that involve degeneration of tissue, including Alzheimer's
disease," said Cyndy Sanberg, Ph.D., Vice President, Research and
Development for San

Spotlight Recipe: Grilled Shrimp with Grapefruit BBQ Sauce
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, May 20, 2009
Why get store-bought BBQ sauce when you can make your own lickety-split? Homemade sauces are typically lower in sodium and you control the ingredients. Grapefruit juice adds tang and a vitamin C boost to this recipe. Slap it on some lean shrimp and the dish comes to only 413 calories and 6.5 grams of fat per serving. For some extra fiber, use brown rice or serve in a whole-wheat tortilla for BBQ shrimp burritos.

Girlfriend got it for me and it's not bad. I wish it would be a softer fabric and not too stiff of a shirt. It shrank a bit in the wash so might keep that in to consideration.

Today, technology has made an impressive and remarkable comeback, popping up almost everywhere on the face of civilization. The reigning Empire remains at war with various rebel factions, causing unrest among the related parties. Nonetheless, the world is striving successfully to rebuild itself from the perils of War.However, the Empire has grown curious and power-hungry for the ancient power known only as "magic". Their leader and a slightly insane general crave this power, and are willing to destroy anything that comes in their way. With the finding of an ancient Esper, a seemingly vital source of "magic", the Empire is poised to take full control of this mysterious power.
Several warriors, from all walks of life, must band together despite their differences in order to save the world from one who would conquer it, and who would destroy it.

- Ability to ride your own airship! and travel everywhere in the map

COLUMBIA — The city of Columbia will hire a new marketing specialist who will focus on raising awareness and promoting use of the city's bus system.
The Columbia City Council approved the new position for the Public Works Department on June 4. It carries an annual salary of $59,615, including benefits, but the city will pay the worker nearly $7,000 through the end of fiscal 2012 on Sept. 30.
The position will deal specifically with Columbia Transit rather than Public Works as a whole. Duties will include preparing an annual marketing plan, increasing brand awareness of the bus system and increasing customer loyalty.
"This is a person who will go out and actively communicate with all of our customers," City Manager Mike Matthes said.
The specialist also will approach the bus system on a route-by-route basis. This is one of the ideas city officials have adopted from visiting bus systems in Lawrence, Kan., Ames, Iowa, and Champaign-Urbana, Ill., earlier this year, Matthes said.
"The ultimate goal is to enable the transit service to become self-sufficient," Matthes said.
The specialist's first challenge will be marketing the FastCAT program, a new bus route that will consist of a 30-minute loop from MU to student residential areas in downtown and the central city.
"This person really is in sales," Matthes said, adding that his or her job will be to connect with various organizations in Columbia and to describe the benefits of FastCAT first. "FastCAT's most important now."
The specialist's agenda also will include creating more user-friendly bus maps and guides. Many groups, including the PedNet Coalition's Columbians for Modern Efficient Transit, have complained about the current bus maps and guides.
Sam Robinson is director of Healthy Community Initiatives at the PedNet Coalition and spokesman for the efficient transit campaign, which promotes alternate transportation for pedestrians as well as public transportation in general. He thinks that producing user-friendly maps and guides will help create brand awareness for the bus system.
"We firmly believe that there is a benefit of developing more user-friendly information on how to use the bus system," Robinson said.
The full job description for the position can be found on the city of Columbia's website. The Public Works Department will accept applications until July 3.

House committee: Possible crimes by IRS official Lois Lerner in tea party controversy
WASHINGTON - The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says investigators have uncovered evidence that a former Internal Revenue Service official may have committed crimes as part of the agency's tea party controversy.
Rep. Dave Camp set a committee vote for Wednesday on whether to refer Lois Lerner, who used to head the agency's tax-exempt division, to the Justice Department. Camp, a Michigan Republican, did not specify which laws Lerner may have broken.
Lerner's lawyer has said she broke no laws.
The Justice Department is already investigating whether any crimes were committed when IRS agents singled out tea party and other conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.
Camp's committee has been investigating the IRS for nearly a year.

from Brandweek: PepsiCo revealed today that the company has enacted self-imposed advertising restrictions "in response to rising levels of obesity in the U.S. and Europe." Among other moves, PepsiCo will no longer place advertising for its flagship cola brand in outlets that directly reach children under 12.
The Purchase, N.Y.-based company has also placed limits on the portion sizes of products such as Doritos sold in U.S. schools and replaced fried Cheetos with a lower-fat baked alternative in elementary schools.
The policy has been in place for several months but the company decided against unveiling it publicly, according to the Financial Times. This follows a policy recently enacted by Kraft, which is redirecting ad dollars behind some of its snacks from media outlets frequented by kids.
"Our intent is not to just beat our chests and try to take credit for what we're doing," Irene Rosenfeld, CEO of Frito-Lay North America, PepsiCo's snacks unit, told FT. "We're just quietly doing it because it's the right thing to do."

Bulgaria - Sofia
From: 2016.03.02 To: 2016.03.02
The Bulgarian national day is also known as the Liberation day, as it was on this day, 3 March 1878, when Bulgaria got independence from the Ottoman Empire after a subjugation of almost 500 years. The president of the country begins the national day celebrations by saluting of all the units of the Bulgarian army in a grand military parade. The president and his wife also host a reception at the historical museum at the president's resident "Boyana". Subsequent ceremonies are held across the country, depicting victorious battles of Bulgarian and Russian soldiers in the 1877-1878 liberation war. In various Bulgarian towns and cities people come together to sing folk songs and tales in their traditional dresses.

Weeds: There's commenters, then there's GrandmaDApril 23, 2014A couple of weeks ago, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire won his 1,000th game. It was a unique accomplishment. There are only 10 managers in the history of baseball to achieve that with one team....

CINCINNATI -- Chris Iannetta hit a solo homer early in the game and a bases-loaded single in the
13th inning today to power the Los Angeles Angels to a 3-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in the
majors' first interleague season opener.
Both teams emptied their benches and bullpens before Iannetta - who caught all 13 innings -
finally provided the breakout hit.
The Angels loaded the bases with two out in the 13th off J.J. Hoover, who walked two and hit
Hank Conger, the Angels' final position player. Iannetta worked the count full, fouled off a pair
of pitches, then singled to left.
Mark Lowe pitched two innings for the win. Ernesto Frieri, the Angels' seventh pitcher,
finished off the Reds' longest opening game since 1975, when they beat the Dodgers 2-1 in 14
For the second straight season, an opener in Ohio went long. The Blue Jays beat the Indians
7-4 in 16 innings last year in Cleveland, the longest opener in major league history.
Reds starter Johnny Cueto gave up three hits in seven innings, including Iannetta's solo
homer in the second. The Angels' Jered Weaver allowed two hits in six innings, giving up a run on a
wild pitch.
Shin-Soo Choo had a solid debut at the Reds' leadoff hitter, reaching three times. He doubled
in the third and came around on a ground out and Weaver's wild pitch.
The Reds suffered their first injury of the season. Left fielder Ryan Ludwick dislocated his
right shoulder while sliding headfirst into third base on Weaver's wild pitch in the third inning.
He'll have an MRI on Tuesday to determine the severity.

What would happen if Apple made a DSLR? Web video artist Adam Sacks thinks it would be a hit with iPhone users who use their phones for the sole purpose of taking pictures of food, applying filters to them, and then sharing them online. He created this humorous parody of an Apple commercial in which Greg Mansfield, the "Vice President of iPhone Product Design", introduces the iPhone 5. The new phone is reinvented as a DSLR to make everyone's life easier, and features a single app: Camera.
The camera phone also features Siri, which will suggest "fun" captions for your food pictures to save you time prior to broadcasting them online.
"The photos are sure to garner all the likes, hearts, plusses, pins, stars, reposts, reblogs, retumbles, and retweets that you've used to replace human connection in your life." Perfect!

AMMAN — The Amman prosecutor general on Thursday charged former MP Yihya Saud with three charges over his appearance at a press conference earlier this week in possession of what appeared to be thousands of voter identification cards.
The charges include holding voter IDs without proper legal justification, violating the Public Gatherings Law and offending a public agency.
Saud stood before the prosecutor general on Thursday. The prosecutor cited the charges against the former controversial deputy.
The Independent Elections Commission (IEC) filed the lawsuit immediately after the incident as his alleged conduct is a crime under the 2012 Elections Law.
Photos of the former Amman MP during the press conference appeared on news websites, which quoted Saud as warning authorities that he would burn the voter IDs, if the government proceeded with a rumoured decision to hike prices of electricity.
The prosecutor general decided not to detain Saud pending further investigation into the case, according to a judicial source.
If convicted for this charge, Saud will spend between six months to two years in prison or pay between JD500 and JD1,000 or receive both penalties, according to Article 61 of the Elections Law.
On Wednesday, in the first ruling ever under the new Elections Law, the Irbid Court of First Instance sentenced two individuals, reportedly brothers of a former deputy from a northern district, to three months imprisonment, on charges of "manipulating" the electoral list in their district.
The ruling was made in absentia.
The manipulation took the form of holding a large number of voter cards during the process of registration for the January 23 polls, which started on August 7 and ended on October 15.
The IEC intervened and took the legal action accordingly.

Visited my folks in Cheonan this week and went hiking with my mum. I'm always amazed at how many different types of bugs exist in these forests. I wish I had an insect handbook so that I could identify the less-common ones… Yea, I'm a nerd.
Can you see this spider's ridiculously long legs and tiny body? Creepy! Anyway, check out my previous blog post to see more bugs in Cheonan~

Performance-Based Pay For Content Has Gone Mainstream -- Which Is Probably Good For Authors
by Andrew Boer on Jan 27, 10:37 AM
This week Forbes magazine again touted its success with the business model it calls Entrepreneurial Journalism, without so much as a titter (or a twitter) from the media. Forbes' journalism model, pioneered (then dropped, then readopted) by Nick Denton at Gawker Media, was very recently considered a controversial and even a heretical approach for journalists. The value proposition, however, is deceptively simple and makes sense: Pay writers bonuses based on the audiences they can attract.

The Night Before New Year's
by Ari Rosenberg on Jan 26, 12:15 PM
It was easier to have dinner with a group of friends in New York City the night before New Year's Eve than New Year's Eve itself. My friends picked out a hot spot in the meatpacking district. I live on the Upper East Side, so with earphones playing a soundtrack for my evening's commute, I headed out towards the subway station at 77th and "Lex."

The Groupon Pile-On
by David Koretz on Jan 19, 12:56 PM
It's that time of year again, when the press smack around a company they were in love with only moments ago. The most recent target: Groupon. Why? Not because any of the company's fundamentals actually changed, but rather because it's cheap journalism with that magical elixir of wunderkind and controversy. Better yet, it drives pageviews (read: revenue) for publishers. The only problem: it's total bullshit.

Leaving Adton Abbey
by Andrew Boer on Jan 13, 1:24 PM
A dispatch from a once gilded abbey, now in a state of disrepair: My Dearest Publisher, Over the past couple of decades, we have weathered wave upon wave of challenges -- and, frankly put, it shows. Our carefully built walls of distribution have all been washed away by Search, and we can easily see the tides of Social building on the horizon. A few of us hold out a distant hope for tablets, but in my heart I fear these walls may never be rebuilt.

Custom Site Or Customized Site?
by Daniel Ambrose on Jan 12, 10:53 AM
A client recently told me that it had taken two years for his IT department to deliver a site redesign. The first deadline was six months, but the project had been extended repeatedly. Now he wondered what was reasonable. Unfortunately, too many publishers have experiences like this because they get suckered by two concepts. First, they are convinced that their site has to be "unique" and therefore must be created from scratch. Second, they are tricked to believe the developers who say "don't worry, all the software will be free."

Woe the Digital Sale: Is It 4 Ps -- Or Just 1 P?
by Amy Auerbach, Jason Krebs on Jan 5, 3:18 PM
Question from a seller of digital advertising: I recently sat down with a very knowledgeable, respected, veteran, media buyer for a meeting. And after the usual pleasantries, he said "So my team tells me that you're more expensive than your competition -- which of course is getting more business from us." Please tell me, why is price still the most important issue over product, promotion or placement?

Album Review
The 13th release, and the final to appear on Bearsville records, Zig-Zag Walk is an extension of Foghat's backslide into blues- and R&B-based guitar rock. With the glory years well behind them in 1983, the band was content to churn out this rather unremarkable yet competent recording of stripped-down boogie rock. Original members Lonesome Dave Peverett (lead guitars/vocals) and Roger Earl (drums) are joined on this 1983 release by longtime contributors Erick Cartwright (guitars) and Nick Jameson (bass, keyboards). Standout tracks include "That's What Love Can Do" and "Down the Road a Piece." Equal parts good-time rock & roll and effusive musical mating calls, Zig-Zag Walk is far from the finest Foghat foray on vinyl (or silicon, where it has been packaged as a reissue with a similar release from the previous year, In the Mood for Something Rude), but not a bad piece of plastic if you're inclined to enjoy the sound of Brits toying with American boogie.

Leoben is a Styrian city in central Austria, located by the Mur river. With a population of about 25,000 it is a local industrial center and hosts the University of Leoben which specialises in mining. The Peace of Leoben, an armistice between Austria and France preliminary to the Treaty of Campo Formio, was signed in Leoben in 1797.
The Justice Center Leoben is a prison designed by architect Josef Hohensinn, which was completed in 2005.
Past and present[edit]
Leoben is known as the "Gateway to the Styrian Iron Road". The 13th century Main Square features the Hackl House with its baroque façade in red and white. The City Parish Church, St. Francis Xavier, built in 1660, comprises a 17th-century interior and is considered one of the most significant Jesuit churches in Austria. Also of note is the Art Nouveau Lutheran church which is at the upper end of the Franz-Josef-Strasse.
The oldest convent for women in Styria is Göss Abbey. Founded in 1020 A.D., it was run by the Benedictine nuns until it was dissolved in 1782. The early Romanesque crypt is of note as is the 'Gösser Ornat,' which can be seen in Vienna (Museum for Applied Arts). Next to the convent is the Gösser brewery, which includes a brewery museum.
Current cultural events include classical concerts in the Congress Leoben, productions of the Summer Philharmonic in July and performances of local and guest productions in the oldest operating theater in Austria.[2]
Tradition & Avantgarde[edit]
Leoben was shaped for centuries by the trade in iron and the research in raw materials carried out at the University of Leoben which was founded in 1840. Mining traditions still play an important part in city life. Examples are the Miners' Parade, the St. Barbara Celebration or the Ledersprung ("Leather Jump"). The Gösser Kirtag, a street fair, takes place on the Thursday after the first Sunday in October and attracts tens of thousands of visitors to Leoben.
Other components of the vigorous cultural life of the "Mining City" include classical concerts in the Congress Leoben, productions of the Summer Philharmonics in July and performances of locally created and guest productions in the oldest still-running theatre in Austria.
