DaisyBrains.com Featured in Women's Health Magazine
The first brain training site designed for women is catching significant buzz in the U.S. and Canada.
Richmond, Virginia (PRWEB) September 27, 2012
Daisy Brains is attracting an entirely new kind of gamer — women. Brain health and wellness is now a hot topic across major women´s magazines and websites. The definition of health is expanding to include a healthy energized mind. This suits the team of female co-creators just fine.
"We are passionate about women´s health. Women are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer´s disease as men, and researchers are only beginning to understand the link between hormonal levels and brain function," says Claire Herring, Daisy Brains co-creator.
The site includes brain games, brain teasers and creativity challenges. Daisy Brains is unique because it offers new content every single day. Women´s brain health matters are discussed and healthy lifestyle tips are shared. "Many of our female members have never played computer games before visiting Daisy Brains, so it´s important that we offer challenging brain exercises while still providing support and encouragement along the way," says Gemma Brooks, co-creator.
Daisy Brains was featured in the October issue of Women´s Health magazine as part of a feature story about building a brain healthy lifestyle. The article titled, "Train Your Brain" matches the philosophy shared by Daisy Brains leaders. "Web-based brain training is just one important part of building a brain healthy lifestyle. Exercise, nutrition and a variety of mentally stimulating activities are essential to build a strong mind," says Herring.
Given the strong response from consumers, Daisy Brains is headed down the path to obtain venture capital funding in order to evolve the site and expand the product reach worldwide. "Things are moving even more quickly than we had imagined. We are thrilled that Daisy Brains is delivering the kind of workout so many women are asking for," says Herring.
Daisy Brains is a subscription-based website that includes a free trial prior to joining as a full member. The site offers a variety of membership options and includes women's health articles and information in addition to brain exercises.
Founded in February 2012, Daisy Brains´ mission is to challenge the brain fitness levels of women everywhere. Anyone can sign up for a free trial to experience the new brain workouts that http://www.daisybrains.com has to offer.

Cardinals beat plummeting Padres 3-2 in 11
Padres CEO Jeff Moorad believes the 2011 Padres "probably have more talent" than the team that won 90 games last season.
"This club is still trying to find its footing," Moorad said Tuesday before the Padres dropped a 3-2, 11-inning decision to the Cardinals in front of 19.426 spectators at Petco Park.
The defeat extended the Padres longest losing streak of the season to five straight games and dropped them to 1-6 on the homestand and a major league-worst 8-20 at home this season.
The winning run scored when Cardinals third baseman Daniel Descalso – the No. 8 hitter -- drove a two-out single off the glove of Padres second baseman Orlando Hudson, scoring Allen Craig from second.
Craig had drawn a five-pitch walk from Padres reliever Ernesto Frieri opening the 11th and stole second when Frieri struck out Skip Schumaker. Frieri struck out catcher Tony Cruz for the second out.
Descalso, who also drove in the winning run in the ninth inning Monday night, hit a sharp grounder to Hudson's right that ticked off his glove into short center.
The Padres were held to a season low two hits by Cardinals starter Kyle McClellan and four relievers.
Brad Hawpe gave the Padres a 2-1 lead in the first with a two-run homer over the wall in center. The Padres only other hit was a fourth-inning double by Chase Headley.
The Padres went up-and-down in order in seven of the 11 innings, had two runners on base in the same inning only twice and were 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position.
They were 0-for-19 after Headley's double.
The Padres are hitting .174 (38-for-219) and have scored eight runs over the first seven games of the disastrous homestand that ends this afternoon (3:35 p.m.) against the Cardinals.
Tuesday night they wasted a second straight strong outing by Aaron Harang, who allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits over seven innings. He has given up only two runs (one earned) on 14 hits over 15 innings is his last two starts and has a pair of no-decisions to show for the effort.
"It's the way this game goes," said Harang. "Ups and downs. It's not time to panic yet. I've been on teams that were 10 games back in July that have come back to win."
"Aaron pitched well," said Padres manager Bud Black. "His fastball velocity was up again. He pitched well. He handled a lineup that leads the National League in hitting and runs scored.
"We're playing hard, just not getting them in the win column. We have to keep grinding. Things just aren't going our way."
Moorad said he is still optimistic that the Padres are a better club than they've shown through almost the first third of the season.
"It is still May," Moorad continued. "I remain confident that we'll find the right mix of talent, chemistry and leadership. The secret is achieving the right mix of the three.
"We'll get it right. I have great faith in Buddy to lead them there. I think he will. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it."

Tight end Colin Cochart was waived by the Cowboys. Cochart was claimed on waivers from the Bengals on Sept. 1 and kept on the 53-man roster in case tight end Jason Witten couldn't play in the opener at New York. Cochart wasn't needed because Witten played, and he didn't travel with the team to New Jersey. The Cowboys did not make a corresponding move to fill the vacated roster spot on the 53-man roster.

If Winston, a redshirt freshman from Bessemer, Ala., had been charged with a felony, he would have been immediately suspended from the team and ineligible for competition under FSU athletic department policy. Now, Winston can finish the season with the Seminoles, who are heavy favorites to defeat No. 20 Duke in Saturday night's ACC championship game in Charlotte, N.C.
With one more victory, the Seminoles (12-0) would punch their ticket to the Jan. 6 Vizio BCS National Championship.
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher issued a statement Thursday afternoon:
"As you might imagine, I was pleased to hear that the state attorney's office exonerated Jameis in the matter. I'm not going to answer any questions about the situation, but I would like to point out that our community and our university are blessed to have really good people in place to review matters like this. I know Jameis is pleased he can focus on being a student at a great university and he's excited about helping our team achieve its goals this year. Right now, we're all looking forward to what we have in front of us on Saturday."
Fisher later said he addressed the team before practice Thursday and told it no charges were filed against Winston, who was in attendance.
"Yes he was," the coach said. "He's preparing very well, and you see the same guy leading his teammates and happy to be on the field."
Asked how the freshman quarterback handled the situation so well, the coach said, "He's very mature. He has ability, he has strength in his beliefs and what he does, and he's very mature that way. A lot of grown-ups can't do that. He can prioritize and compartmentalize when he has to do something."
The accuser initially reported the alleged rape to FSU police on the night in question. Because the incident took place off campus, FSU police immediately referred the case to Tallahassee police.
The woman's attorney has been critical of the way Tallahassee police handled the case from the beginning. In a statement released two weeks ago, Carroll wrote that a TPD officer told her that Tallahassee is a "big football town, and the victim needs to think long and hard before proceeding against [Winston] because she will be raked over the coals and her life will be made miserable."
Last week, Tallahassee police issued a timeline of the case and defended their handling of the investigation. According to the timeline, TPD said the woman didn't identify Winston as her alleged attacker until Jan. 10, more than a month after the incident. Tallahassee police said evidence from the woman's rape kit was sent to the state crime lab on Jan. 15, and Winston declined to be interviewed by police on Jan. 23.
In February, Tallahassee police put the case in "open/inactive" status because they said the accuser decided she didn't wish to press charges. Carroll has vehemently denied the woman ever wanted to drop the investigation.
As for the delay in the case reaching the state attorney's office, Meggs said: "Obviously it would have been somewhat better if we had all gotten into this case a little bit earlier. Time is important, and it certainly would have been nice" to know last December what prosecutors know now.
Meggs said that football discussions played no part in the investigation.

Should women join the SEALs?
Letters to the editor for June 19, 2013
Now what?
Carl K. Sycks
Same-sex couple living the good life
Myself and 18,000 other same-sex couples will be celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary this month. Yes, it has been five years since California allowed theses nuptials, and at the time gloom and doom was predicted if this awful thing was to happen. Children would be taken from their mothers, and families would be torn apart, according to the church-sponsored attack ads for Prop. 8. Well, I'm still waiting for all the bad things to happen. We bought a house, two cars and retired from our jobs to live the good life in San Diego. And nothing bad happened? What gives?

The BizSpark startup of the day is Virsto Software, based in the US. You will find below an interview with Mindy Anderson, Director of Product Management at Virsto Software. All the best to them and congrats for being the startup of the day!
Website: www.virsto.com.
Director of Product Management.
The founders of Virsto (CEO, CTO and VP of Engineering) were all working in various other emerging technology companies. I joined Virsto as the company was launching the beta program for our Virsto One software product.
This is very exciting!
Virsto sees a world where virtual storage is as empowering as virtual servers.
First and only hypervisor-based storage virtualization software architected to anticipate the evolving demands, barriers and opportunities of the virtual computing era.
We recognized that there were some fundamental differences in how storage was deployed and managed moving from a physical to virtual world. We talked with customers to validate their pain points and our presumptions.
We received our initial funding in Summer 2008. We are not actively seeking funding at this time.
We are an 18-person company, 14 developers.
We are not actively hiring. But are always on the look out for people who have a mix of storage and virtualization experience that can help us reach our goals.
We build on multiple platforms, including Windows. We set out from the beginning to be hypervisor agnostic. The first release of our first product, Virsto One, is only supported in a Windows Hyper-V environment. We have enjoyed the support and the enthusiasm in working with the Microsoft team.
We are excited about the possibilities and potential of the program.
One of the biggest things to get right is understanding the problem you are trying to solve. This is hard. It requires analysis of the problem or question being asked. It must be attacked from multiple levels. This gets tricky because of one thing – the ability to listen.
I have many. Every day I go into the office, I am in awe of the team of people that I work with and the accomplishments that they all have done in their lives outside of the office. I think my role models are typically the people who just chose to do something and did not give up. There are people like Pablo Picasso who used many forms of media to showcase his art, it seems to me he was finding different ways to use art to reach his audience. I like the people who continue to push the envelope in their respective areas. I love their creativity.
How could I possibly choose one thing? Virsto sees a world where virtual storage is as empowering as virtual servers. It really is our vision.

Holly doesn't go lightly in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'
Can you imagine "Game of Throne's" Daenerys Targaryen singing "Moon River" as she orders her baby dragons, Rhaegal, Drogon and Viserion, to behave? We had a good chuckle at the thought as we made our way to a preview of Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" at the Cort Theater on Broadway last summer.
Like Holly Golightly, the Dothraki leader was forced to sacrifice a lot of things to survive. But, while Emilia Clarke has Holly's grace under pressure, she lacks Audrey Hepburn's gamine allure and larger-than-life persona.
Instructively, her meditative musings are better-suited for Sally Bowles in Weimar Berlin—because the latest staging of Capote's novella takes place in the gritty 1940s, not in Blake Edwards' "safer" '60s. But, you can't play Holly and not draw unfair comparisons to the iconic Hollywood actress.
In 1943, narrator Fred (Cory Michael Smith) meets jobless society girl, Holly (Clarke), who earns a living by socializing with wealthy men who pay her for keeping them company—an American geisha. As they forge an unlikely bond, Fred's fascination for the outspoken beauty grows as she reveals snippets of her checkered past—and even as it's revealed that he indulges in gender-bending activities in the Big Apple's dark nooks and crannies.
Bleak moments
Blake Edwards' 1961 film has its bleak moments, but they're leavened by Hepburn's doe-eyed optimism and stellar charisma. On the other hand, the Broadway play opts for a darker tone that is considerably compromised by the two otherwise attractive leads' weak chemistry.
Luckily, the text doesn't "spoon-feed" theatergoers, and presents them with narrative threads and open-ended scenarios they can draw conclusions from. But, even "thinking" viewers require occasional flashes of exuberance to help them rise above the exposition's murky waters. You can't just let your audience sink and drown!
The play starts out with a lot of promise as we see Fred and bartender Joe Bell (George Wendt) reminisce about the mysterious woman they both knew who spoke like she could get whatever she wanted. Then, the story goes back in time.
Unfortunately, director Sean Mathias' storytelling is stodgy, gloomy and heavy-handed—and, while Clarke gets to show off her pleasant singing voice as she accompanies herself with a guitar, the song she renders is nowhere nearly as evocative as "Moon River"—which is never sung in the production!
The crowd gets a surprising jolt, however, when Fred and Holly take off their clothes and jump into a tub—a novel gimmick whose attention-grabbing appeal quickly dissipates.
Did the 26-year-old actress have doubts about portraying a role immortalized by Audrey Hepburn?
Clarke told the Huffington Post, "It's funny—a lot of actors I've spoken to have said, 'It's very brave that you're doing it,' I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?' This was never a choice—it's a 100-percent yes! You don't say 'maybe' to playing Holly Golightly. And I would hope that people wouldn't see the play just to take a look at a young girl stepping into a bath!" We're not so sure about that.

In 2003, a rather conservative Supreme Court essentially ratified that formula. In a landmark case involving the University of Michigan Law School, the Court ruled that race could be used as a "plus" factor in college admissions.
Both Clinton's speech and the Court's decision honored and upheld a policy that millions of Americans consider reasonable and valid. Even our current socially conservative president refused to use affirmative action as a wedge issue in his 2004 re-election campaign.
In the end, Americans understand that affirmative action deepens the country's commitment to overcoming centuries of racism and discrimination against women, blacks and other minorities. It stands in the shadow of the Emancipation Proclamation, the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote, and the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965.
Affirmative action has for more than three decades effectively countered discrimination and brought Americans closer to the goal of one America. Proposition 2 deserves to be defeated.

Experts agree that FiOS® network technology is the Gold Standard for Internet and entertainment delivery.
So what's the difference when you compare FiOS vs. Comcast or other cable companies?
Unlike cable, FiOS provides a 100% fiber-optic network to your home. That's a big reason that FiOS is a PC Magazine Readers' Choice Award winner 9 years in a row and consistently rated #1 by PC Magazine in speed, reliability and customer satisfaction.3
Have lots of photos and videos to share with the world? You'll need high Internet upload speeds.
With the FiOS 50/50 Mbps speed tier, you can upload a 4-minute video (30 MB in size) in 4.8 seconds. That same upload with the average cable speed of 20/4 Mbps would take 1 minute. 4
Time spent waiting is time wasted. With Verizon, you can count on a reliable Internet speed that won't slow down when you need it most.
In certain areas, FiOS® Internet speeds can reach download speeds up to 500 Mbps and upload speeds of 500 Mbps.5
Cable companies can't say the same. It's one of many reasons FiOS Internet was rated #1 in customer satisfaction, value and reliability according to the 2014 American Customer Satisfaction Index.
No matter what channels you watch, you'll find them on Verizon's TV service. If you compare Verizon FiOS vs. Comcast, Time Warner Cable or Cox, you'll see that Verizon has the channel variety cable can't match.

NBAA Raises Concerns Over ADS-B Security »
The FAA's plans regarding ADS-B, or automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast services, don't offer enough protection for operators' privacy, security, and business competitiveness, NBAA president Ed Bolen said in an op-ed this week. "ADS-B transmits an unencrypted, real-time signal that includes the aircraft's Mode S transponder code, its call sign, aircraft type, position and airspeed, as determined by the aircraft's own GPS-based avionics," Bolen wrote. "Anyone with the right equipment can capture that real-time data and potentially use it for nefarious purposes." More

Goldman wages PR fight to clear its name
NEW YORK Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is fighting to clear its name, but not in a court of law.
Goldman has hit back hard against civil fraud charges with a public relations blitz aimed at poking holes in the Securities and Exchange Commission's case and repairing the bank's reputation. Every time the SEC has punched, Goldman has quickly counterpunched.
Public relations consultants say it's too early to know if the strategy is working for Wall Street's most powerful bank. Some big Goldman clients are publicly backing the firm, yet its stock has yet to recover from the double-digit nosedive that followed the SEC lawsuit on April 16.
To help its cause, Goldman has hired Mark Fabiani, a big player in the PR world with strong ties to top Democrats. Fabiani earned the nickname "Master of Disaster" for his handling of crises during the Clinton administration. He now works as a media consultant specializing in corporate crisis management. Goldman has also brought in top corporate attorneys. And its executives, including CEO Lloyd Blankfein, have been out in public, not hunkering down.
The damage control efforts will be on display Tuesday when Blankfein and Fabrice Tourre, the employee named in the SEC fraud charges, are questioned by a Senate subcommittee probing the bank's role in the financial crisis.
Goldman's PR campaign, which runs counter to its long history of secrecy, is a bold yet risky move. Some analysts say a poor performance on Capitol Hill could worsen the bank's image problems and make it harder for it to attract and retain lucrative clients. If the strategy fails, analysts say, it could cost Blankfein and other Goldman executives their jobs.
But the company got a boost last week when several big clients including the investment firm Blackstone Group and Ford Motor Co. said they're sticking by the bank. More support came from Warren Buffett, whose company, Berkshire Hathaway, has a big Goldman stake. Berkshire Hathaway has said Buffett isn't concerned about his investment in the bank.
Blankfein and Tourre were both at Goldman's headquarters in New York over the weekend preparing for Tuesday's hearing, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Tourre on Saturday also met with investigators for the Senate panel during an hours-long interview, according to the person, who requested anonymity because the talks were confidential.
In prepared testimony released by Goldman Monday, Blankfein repeated Goldman's intention that it had done nothing wrong when it sold risky securities to two investors who lost hundreds of millions of dollars.
But the CEO acknowledged, "We have to do a better job of striking the balance between what an informed client believes is important to his or her investing goals and what the public believes is overly complex and risky."
A careful strategy is critical to Goldman given the forces lining up against the bank. They include the SEC and congressional Democrats who are using the case to push for a regulatory overhaul of the financial services industry. Investors, meanwhile, have started filing suit against Goldman because of the 13 percent drop in the company's stock after the SEC lawsuit was announced.

Wideman, Morris not at B's practice
|12.07.09 at 12:45 pm ET
After taking a commanding 7-2 victory over Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday, the Bruins got back to work this morning. Defenseman Dennis Wideman and Derek Morris were both given 'maintenance' days and did not skate. Wideman left Saturday's game with an 'upper body' injury and his status for Thursday remains unclear. 'There's no update, we don't play again until Thursday, if you were going to ask me ' is he in ' I think so,' said Bruins coach Claude Julien after practice Monday. 'I can't say he is in for sure.'

Hello, all.
A few questions as I am trying to customize the dk Wordpress theme I purchased:
I wish to have the background image on my home page display as it does on the theme's demo – it has a 'screen' made of regularly spaced dots that appears to be placed over the image as a second layer. I couldn't find a way to do it using the theme's admin panel. Any ideas as to how I can turn this on or do it on my own?
The home page has a (1) horizontal line on top with a (2) copyright message right below it. It also has a (3) black square that appears to be there for the placement of a logo (it has the dk logo as default) and a (4) black rectangle menu next to it for navigation purposes displaying the names of pages. How can I remove these four items so that they don't display?
I still wish to have a copyright notice displayed on the page but would rather have it display on the bottom of the pages instead of at the top. How can I do this using the WP admin panel?
This is sort of an urgent project so any help you can share will be very appreciated.

She may not be a wizard in real life, but just like her Harry Potter character Hermione Granger actress Emma Watson has a heart of gold and a brain to match, and she was recently appointed as a a UN Women's Global Ambassador! The 24-year-old actress completed her degree at Brown University last month and is now part of the UN at just 24-years-old. Congratulations Emma!
"Being asked to serve as [a] UN Women's Goodwill Ambassador is truly humbling," she said. "The chance to make a real difference is not an opportunity that everyone is given and is one I have no intention of taking lightly. Women's rights are something so inextricably linked with who I am, so deeply personal and rooted in my life, that I can't imagine an opportunity more exciting."

Will Clara Pay A High Cost For Trying To Be The Doctor On Doctor Who?
Doctor Who's two-part season finale aired its first half tonight, and the story is almost entirely driven by Clara Oswald and her decisions. It's a measure of how much she's grown as a character that this works as splendidly as it does. But did Clara just learn the true cost of trying to be the Doctor? Spoilers… »
With This Episode, Doctor Who Season 8 Starts To Pay Off, Big Time
"The Caretaker" is my favorite episode of the Peter Capaldi era of Doctor Who thus far. And it's also probably going to turn out to be the episode where this season really "clicks" for me. Really great stuff, that puts the Doctor on the spot in a way we've never seen before. Spoilers ahead... »
There's Not Much Point In Arguing About Moffat's Doctor Who Any More
I'm still kind of dazed by tonight's episode of Doctor Who. I can't decide if it's a fantastic work of genius or a shaggy-dog story. Maybe both. But it's clearly Steven Moffat turning all of his favorite tropes up to 11. And I came away feeling, more than ever, as though there's not much point debating Moffat's Who. »
Could There Be Any Truth To These Doctor Who Rumors? [Updated]
Showrunner Steven Moffat has made it clear that he's already making plans for at least some of Doctor Who's episodes in 2015 — but speculation as to who might replace him continues to spread. And one surprising candidate has seemed to fuel the speculation, with a series of confusing tweets. Update: Comments from… »
Peter Capaldi Is Already Carrying Doctor Who On His Amazing Shoulders
This was a pretty humdrum season Doctor Who season opener for the most part. Except that Peter Capaldi, the new Doctor, is already bringing a marvelously strange energy to the role of the Doctor. Capaldi's presence lent a huge spark to the storyline about Clara having trouble adjusting to the Doctor's new face. »

Who's going to replace Steven Moffat as Doctor Who showrunner?
Steven Moffat's been in charge of Doctor Who's storytelling since 2010, and he's probably nearing the end of his tenure. So everybody's wondering who could take over this insanely demanding job, when the show regenerates next time. Let's break down seven prospects, in order of most likely to least likely. »
Why Matt Smith's Doctor "Deserved Better"
Matt Smith has been one of the most engaging actors ever to play that ageless time traveler on Doctor Who — but if he'd been given better, weightier material to work with, he might have been the best Doctor of all, argues a new article in The Atlantic. »
This was a fitting end to the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who
In many ways, "Time of the Doctor" doesn't just conclude the story that's been running since Matt Smith's first episode of Doctor Who — it also sums up Smith's tenure as the ageless Time Lord. The good parts as well as the bad parts. Spoilers ahead... »
Twelfth Doctor. No Waiting. Steven Moffat confirms Peter Capaldi's first season won't be split in half — the whole thing will air in one uninterrupted run, starting in August 2014. [Thanks Tony!] »

Demi Moore's hospitalization earlier this week is sad news no matter what the cause. We can all agree on that, right? While allegations of exhaustion, drug use and/or anorexia have been flying fast and furious, TMZ is now alleging that it was nitrous oxide inhalation that brought on the Margin Call star's medical emergency Monday night. The site's sources allege Demi was doing whip-its (i.e. inhaling nitrous oxide recreationally) when she experienced "the symptoms of a seizure." Call us a gaggle of prudes (it's already our band name), but whip-its do not seem like the drug of choice for 50-year-old millionaire moms. Then again….what does?
According to TMZ, a friend of Demi informed paramedics of the situation, having called 911 after Moore "lapsed into semi-consciousness." Wow, we are really hoping this is just a weird, dirty rumor and that the cause of Demi's crisis turns out to be something more benign, like too much dancing. Please let it be too much dancing.

UPDATED -- Transmissible Virus-like Particles Could Slow HIV -- Proposal
UPDATED: With quotes from paper co-author Leor Weinberger:
Genetically engineered particles that act like a virus could slow the spread of HIV, according to a bold proposal by scientists from UC San Diego and UCLA.
The virus-like particles would contain genes that slow the replication of the AIDS-causing virus in those already infected, according to a paper by the scientists published Friday in the journal PLoS Computational Biology . The paper examined models of HIV's patterns of spreading, and the inhibitory effect of the virus-like particles. The particles would be designed to have properties similar to those exhibited in a recent HIV gene therapy trial.
The authors, including biochemist Leor Weinberger of UCSD, concede that this radical approach raises ethical issues that need to be answered, and could only be tried after safety and efficacy studies in animals. But they say the approach has advantages over other therapies. Weinberger's lab focuses on the development of new antiviral therapies.
Called "therapeutic interfering particles," or TIPs, the engineered particles would be designed so they can only reproduce in HIV-positive people. They're intended for use in high-risk "superspreaders," who would transmit the TIPs along with HIV by sex or other high-risk behaviors.
"For the TIP to become a threat, it would need to acquire all the genes of HIV (which can only happen in an HIV-infected patient)," Weinberger said in an email interview. "If the TIP acquired all of HIV's genes, it would be equivalent to a loss-of-efficacy in a vaccine or drug treatment (this would happen in already infected patients and would result in the TIP being effectively lost).
"For the TIP to become more of a threat than HIV, it would need to acquire other new genes as well," Weinberger wrote. "The argument is that HIV alone could have acquired these new genes on its own, no need for TIP, and has not."
The scientists propose to try the therapy in sub-Saharan Africa, where HIV is especially prevalent.
"While the intervention is not limited to sub-Saharan Africa, as a field we are in great need of new therapies that can be used effectively in resource-limited and resource-poor setting such as sub-Saharan Africa," Weinberger wrote. "The epidemiology is well-studied in Africa compared to other resource-poor settings so that we choose that setting. The intervention would definitely conceivably work in US and Europe."
Since the TIPS would spread along with HIV, they would naturally target individuals most at risk, including those who don't or can't get other medical treatment. The paper analogizes the effect to that of the Sabin weakened virus vaccine, only safer, because the TIPS must "piggyback" on the replication machinery of HIV.
The therapy wouldn't replace other approaches, Weinberger said in a UCSD press release about the paper .
"In part, we are arguing that TIPs could be used in conjunction with current antiretroviral drug therapy or vaccine campaigns, and could enhance the efficacy of these campaigns at the population level," Weinberger said in the press release.
By "at the population level," Weinberger was alluding to "herd immunity," or the protective effect of treating an infectious disease among a large majority of the population. If enough people are protected, the risk of the disease spreading to the unprotected is lessened.

I am not generally one to write online reviews, I usually feel like what needs to be said has been said already by others, but this book makes me excited enough that I can't help myself.
In short---Wow. This is a fantastic campaign setting. I love the old-world European feel combined with a sort of folksy, phantasmagoric mashup of sooo many wonderful things: Lovecraftian elements, viking mythology, faerie (the weird and creepy kind that smacks of Lord Dunsany and the Grimm tales), dark and forested Transylvanian hills... I could go on. This book is oozing with adventure ideas and campaign arcs, and the crazy thing is it all seems to fit and work well together. Instead of listing a bunch of things, I'll just break down my favorite things about the Midgard Campaign Setting.
Zobeck and the Crossroads Region
To be honest, I've been looking forward to the Midgard Campaign Setting ever since I got my hands on the Zobeck Gazetteer and the adventure anthology Streets of Zobeck almost a year ago. My group and I have thoroughly enjoyed the dark, gritty, Bohemian feel of the city with it's twisted politics, infernal gangs, and corrupt law officers. It has a really nice old-world European feel that reminds me of Budapest (where I'm from), and I've been looking forward to more material like it ever since. This book does not disappoint, and in fact makes the city of Zobeck and the region surrounding it the "heart" of the entire realm. I have the same feelings about adventuring here as when I first cracked the AD&D Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting grey box and discovered the Dalelands and Candlekeep. It stokes the fires of imagination and makes me excited to write adventures.
Elves, Dwarves, Kobolds, and Gnomes
The take on race in the setting is also great. The elves are very classicly Tolkien-esque (once a great civilization and the rulers of all Midgard, now very uncommon having mostly moved on from the world). The Cantonal Dwarves are neat, very recognizably dwarves, yet with a unique and interesting culture. The Kobolds and Gnomes take the cake though. The kobold as a player race is super fun, and I have to say I'm totally enamored with the concept of infernal, devil-worshiping gnomes.
Gods and Religion
Religion and gods are usually my single biggest beef with any campaign setting. I'm hard to please in this since I almost always find the take on gods (and their inevitable petty wars and silly manipulations) to be cheesy. I'm super happy with Wolfgang's gods of Midgard. He seems to have tread that fine line between giving the gods "personality" and making them silly caricatures and I really appreciate the setting for this. I also like that the different regions of the world have different gods, some of which are likely just different "masks" of the same god, or so the learned clerics say. I'm not personally blown away by the reliance on Egyptian mythology for the Southern Gods, but I'm guessing a lot of people will really dig this. Also, *finally* someone added a Ninkasi analogue to their realm. The Goddess of Beer? Check. A Beer Domain for clerics? Check. Thank you Wolfgang!
Midgard adds two schools of magic to the Pathfinder system, Clockwork Magic, and Illumination Magic (or stars and shadows magic). They're both quite cool, but I am especially pleased with Clockwork Magic which lends a sort of very light-handed steampunk touch to the setting. Clockwork magic allows for the creation of clockwork construct bodies that your PCs can be reincarnated into, thus adding another entire PC race to the Pathfinder game is well. It feels well thought-out, and I'm hoping one of my players decides to try it out soon. Also, the concept of Ley Lines is very cool (allowing your casters to tap into external sources of magic tied to particular places or dates/times to boost their arcane power) and the shadow roads are neat as well, allowing for quick travel across very large distances by taking roads that cross through the Plane of Shadow. The roads were originally created by the elves in ancient times, but since corrupted, so they don't always work in the ways they were originally meant to.
Artwork, Maps, and Layout
It's been said before, but I'll say it again. The art in this book is gorgeous. It's not nearly as cartoonish as the typical Paizo publication (which is a good thing for me), and feels more folksy and at times downright creepy (page 73 anyone?). The layout and printing is gorgeous as well, and I'm really happy I sprung for the hardcover version. My only beef is that the table references in my hardcover version are not filled in (they all reference "$$" instead of the actual table number in the text). This is not a problem with the PDF version, and I imagine the 2nd printing will fix it as well. And the maps! Oh man. I knew they were going to be good since Jonathan Roberts did them (the cartographer for George R.R. Martin), but they still blew my mind. These are the nicest maps I've ever seen in a campaign setting, and I hope that Kobold Press is going to release a poster-sized map of the entire realm. I want to frame it and put it on my wall.
Honestly, I could go on. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The optional status rules are cool and I'm going to work them into my campaign, the new spells and incantations are great, the regional feats are fun (I just wish there were more Crossroads feats!). The book is also full of interesting NPCs. If you are looking to rekindle your love of world-building, or just on the hunt for campaign ideas, this is a fantastic reference. And if you're like me and looking for a campaign setting to call home, you cannot go wrong with Midgard. In my opinion, it's the best out there.

IBEROSTAR Averroes
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Averroes
Debra Haynes says: almost 2 years
"My daughter and I stayed in the Iberostar Avveroes in Tunisia in July 2013 for a week. We had an amazing time, the staff of the hotel could not do enough for us. We always had a table waiting for us in the restaurant and the staff were always happy and helpful. The staff in the bar were lovely to us, always asking if we were ok and bringing our drinks to us, especially Hassan and Abdul. We loved all of the animation team but especially Memo and Moez, they always had loads of energy working so hard and always had time to chat. We admired them all working so hard as it was Ramadam and particularly hot. The hotel is lovely but the staff make all the difference. Thanks for a great stay."Rating: 10,0

Leading a group of leaders is not an easy task, but Amdavad's Chiranjiv Patel — who founded the Entrepreneurs' Organisation (EO) chapter in Gujarat in 2010 — has been bestowed with this responsibility after he was unanimously chosen the area director of EO-South Asia for 2014-15.
It is for the first time that EO-South Asia has got a director from Gujarat. With this, Patel will now lead the billionaires, leaders and next generation entrepreneurs of the region. He will take charge from July 2014 wherein he will be leading a group of 1,950 entrepreneurs, who today collectively employ 4.3 million people and have a combined turnover of $42 billion (over Rs2.50 lakh crore).
"It is going to be a totally different experience. I will be leading the most influential community of South Asia. Here, I will get a chance to help, guide, support and shape the members of EO in South Asia. For every event or meeting, I will lead the members before taking any decision," said Patel, who is the managing director of PCS Group of Companies.
As an area director of EO–South Asia, Patel now eyes to open new chapters of the organisation in the region. "Purpose of the EO is socialising, networking, learning, grooming, supporting and most important, partying. We are not allowed to lobby and use this platform for any other reason. Hence, the criteria and eligibilities of becoming a member are strict and stringent. We take members only on invitation with the basic criteria of having turnover of at least Rs30 crore," said Patel.
At present, EO South Asia has chapters in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines. "Soon, we will open new chapters in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other cities of India. In India, there are currently 12 chapters, including recently launched — Ludhiana and Pune. Looking at the demand and requirement, we may open a few more chapters," said Patel.
Globally, EO has 9,500 members in 131 chapters in 40 countries. The total turnover of all these members across the world is estimated to be more than $150 billion (about Rs10 lakh crore). "Every year we meet several times. We invite renowned speakers and have informal interaction with members. The speakers include politicians, Bollywood actors, spiritual gurus, businessmen and others," said Patel.
EO organises Regional Integration Event (RIE), University and different programmes where in all members gather, discuss and debate on different issues. "In our last edition of RIE in Kolkata, the theme was 'Action Changes Things' where hundreds of members participated with their spouses. Next year, the RIE will held in Kathmandu with theme 'Beyond'," said Patel.
Patel founded the Gujarat chapter in 2010. There are 42 members — who are currently employing over 3,800 employees with a total annual turnover of more than Rs2,100 crore. The average age of EO members in Gujarat is 32.
"The members of Gujarat chapter meet every month. Here, we have also invited guest speakers like Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif," he said.

After Jnanapith honour, came another news which would have delighted Dr Chandrashekhar Kambar and other Kannada writers.
At a function held by Kannada and culture department to felicitate Kambar on Monday, the government announced a five-point programme to popularise the works of Kambar and UR Ananthamurthy.
The government will reprint all works of Kambar, including his plays and make them available at all government school libraries. His works will also be translated to different languages. A drama festival featuring his plays will be staged this year. The government will also translate and reprint all the works of Ananthamurthy.
Announcing this, Govind M Karjol, minister for Kannada and culture and minor irrigation, said: "The chief minister has given us a green signal to do everything necessary for making Kannada popular."
Calling Kambar the second poet of Kannada after Ranna, he said, "Bangalore's language scenario scares me. Our only hope may be in rural Karnataka."
Chief minister DV Sadananada Gowda said he hoped to hear more such inspiring news in the days ahead.
"This is an honour that has come to us after 13 years and it has brought us a new stride of positive thinking ... Such functions bring us encouragement and happiness from the routine work we do," he said.
Speaking about Kambar's dream of making Kannada compulsory for schools and colleges, he said, "This is an added feather to his already colourful hat. We've released Rs200 crore to Kannada and culture department. We all should try to make his dream of making Kannada language teaching and learning compulsory at school and college levels."
Known as 'Kannada-da Dada', Kambar, in his speech, said, "We have to make as much achievements as the English literature has made in order to get recognised. We need to have Kannada from Kindergarten to MA level to popularise it."
Ananthamurthy, who presided over the programme, said: "None of our governments have ever been against Kannada. Just like Tamils and Bengalis, we must be proud to call ourselves Kannadigas. It is a false notion that one is knowledgeable if he knows English language. If Kannada is not taught in our schools, it will be come limited to the kitchens."

Saginaw, Michigan
"When I have questions I know I can call MS Clinic Coordinator Jackie Wheeler, R.N., and she takes care of me right away. That's really important to me."
From time to time, Glenda Roby experienced a tingling sensation in her leg, but she didn't suspect anything was seriously wrong until her young nephew ran out in a street and she couldn't catch him because of pain and numbness in her leg. After undergoing a number of diagnostic tests, including a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).
MS is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. But with the help of the MS Clinic at MidMichigan Medical Center, Glenda continues to live a full life. The MS Clinic includes offerings for the specific needs of MS patients, such as rehabilitation services and urology and ophthalmology care.
Since her diagnosis, Glenda, 55, has experienced changes in her mood, typical of MS patients. "I know I used to be able to tolerate more stress," she said. "I get frustrated that I can't do what I normally used to do."
Glenda works five days a week and has a 45-minute commute to her Saginaw home after work.
"When I come home, my energy is gone," she said. Her husband, Maxie, who retired in October 2008, has dinner ready for Glenda when she gets home. She has two grown sons and she does her best to keep up with her two 13-year-old granddaughters. "They think I'm their age," Glenda said.
With the guidance of her doctor, neurologist Faith Fuentes, M.D., Glenda is learning to combat the symptoms of MS, including fatigue and depression, using medication, physical therapy, stress management and good nutrition.
Glenda has taken various steroids to help relieve inflammation brought on by MS attacks, and she has taken pain medicines and an anti-depressant. Some of these medicines she receives at the Infusion Center of MidMichigan Medical Center–Midland. MS affects each patient differently, so Dr. Fuentes works with Glenda to monitor her reactions to the medications and alter dosages or eliminate medicines, accordingly.Glenda receives physical therapy through MidMichigan's MS Rehabilitation Services, including specific exercises to keep her legs strong.
"I have a really great physical therapist," Glenda said. "Erica sort of pushes me." Glenda also receives moral support from the other physical therapy patients, who sometimes root for each other when they are performing difficult exercises.
Glenda, who is already slender, sometimes just doesn't feel like eating, so Dr. Fuentes also closely monitors her weight. Being under the care of Dr. Fuentes and the rest of the staff at MidMichigan Medical Center–Midland has helped Glenda stay active. In fact, she recently planned and hosted her husband's retirement party for 150 guests, and she chose a new dress for the event. "That dress took me to a whole new level," she said.
If you or a family member has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, call MidMichigan Health Line for physician referral at (989) 837-9090 or toll free (800) 999-3199.
