Parkinson's patients show improvement from cycling
Tuesday April 09, 2013
the news tribune - A few years ago, while members were looking for ways to celebrate those participating in the annual Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic while battling Parkinson's disease, Team Parkinson's considered borrowing an old cycling tradition.
Just as the leader of the Tour de France gets to wear a yellow jersey, Team Parkinson's considered unique jerseys so Parkinson's patients would stand out in the field of 10,000.
"But people with Parkinson's said, 'No, I want them to think I'm out there without Parkinson's,'" said Larry Jacobson, a team member and brother of a Parkinson's patient. "... And some of the guys are really hammering out there. You wouldn't know."
For many Parkinson's patients, their bikes are proving to be a refuge from their symptoms. The disease results in the degeneration of the nervous system causing tremors, reduced coordination and other symptoms.
Team Parkinson's, part of the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation, has several goals. It wants to raise money for research. Its STP riders raise more than $100,000 per year.
"Some day, there is going to be a cure," said Steve Wright, executive director of the foundation. "But we also want to help people in the here and now – help them make life a little better."
This is why the foundation is also spreading the message that athletic activity can help Parkinson's patients find temporary relief from their symptoms.
Tacoma's Dave Covey, a Parkinson's patient and foundation board member, is attempting to find tandem bikes and cyclists to participate in the 2014 STP. This year, he and another cyclist with Parkinson's are doing it as a relay.
While the ride sold out Feb. 14, Team Parkinson's has about 20 slots available. To claim a spot, people must pay the registration fee ($100) and pledge to raise at least $500 in donations. (Membership has its privileges, namely private rest stops with warm food and a masseuse.)
Covey says the idea for the tandem ride came from recent studies that have shown that Parkinson's patients pedaling 80-90 rpms for 40 minutes or more at least three days per week have seen a decrease in symptoms.
While some patients can hold this pace on their own, for others, it's too fast. Tandem bikes can fix this problem.
A foundation-sponsored study at the University of Washington is researching the idea that Parkinson's patients also can decrease their symptoms through forced exercise (Holding that 80-90 rpm pace thanks to the chain linking the patient to a stronger rider on the front of the bike).
The idea of battling Parkinson's from the seat of a bike has gained momentum in recent years. A decade ago, a doctor and one of his patients founded Pedaling for Parkinson's after biking across Iowa and seeing the patient's symptoms decreased by 35 percent.
Glenn Erickson, a Seattle bike frame builder battling Parkinson's, leads a fundraising ride each July.
Davis Phinney, a Parkinson's patient and Olympic cycling bronze medalist, started a foundation that funds research into the impact of aerobic exercise on the disease.
And gyms around the country are offering cycling programs designed for Parkinson's patients.
Seven weeks ago, Tacoma's Morgan Family YMCA started offering a spin class for Parkinson's patients. The classes meet for 45 minutes Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 11:15 a.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. The program is looking for volunteers with and and without Parkinson's, Covey said.
Only two people showed up for the first class, but it's since grown to eight people, said Denise Hood, the gym's wellness director.
While she says it's still too soon to know just how much patients are benefiting from the classes, she's heard positive feedback.
"One woman used a walker when she started and now she's no longer using it," Hood said. "And one caretaker said another man has seen improved mobility and increased leg strength."
The YMCA offers a free one-month membership to those trying the Parkinson's cycling class. The class is less intense than a standard studio cycling class, Hood said. Participants remain seated for the class and work on maintaining a constant speed.
"It's going well so far," said Hood, who leads one of the classes. "If it is making a difference for the people who are attending, that's pretty exciting."

Two of America's key Asian allies will hold elections in December to select their leaders and determine which policy path to follow. Japan's lower house of parliament election on December 16 will decide whether Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and the Democratic Party of Japan retain their positions or are abandoned in favor of returning Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party to power. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak is constitutionally prohibited from a second term. The South Korean electorate faces a stark choice between conservative Park Geun-hye and progressive Moon Jae-in.
Join us as a distinguished panel of experts preview the two elections and assess their impact on whether the two countries maintain or alter their economic and foreign policies. Although Abe is predicted to win the Japanese election, it remains uncertain with whom he will forge a ruling coalition. In South Korea, the withdrawal of Ahn Cheol-soo leaves the presidential election as a two-horse race but questions remain whether Moon can count on Ahn's supporters to defeat Park.
The results of the two elections will impact South Korean and Japanese relations with the United States, China, and each other, as well as how to deal with a nuclear North Korea and an increasingly assertive China.

Two Queens, N.Y. women arrested for plotting propane tank bomb attacks in New York
Roommates Noelle Velentzas, 28, and Asia Siddiqui, 31, were arrested Thursday morning and charged with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction in the United States, according to federal prosecutors. FBI officials say both women, who live in Queens, New York, were radicalized by Islamic State (ISIS) propaganda. A complaint unsealed on Thursday says the women had been communicating with people affiliated with Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. "The investigation has revealed that Velentzas espouses violent jihadist beliefs and has repeatedly expressed an interest in terrorist attacks committed within the United States," the complaint stated.
Bioweapons do not offer the same deterrence value nukes offer: Experts
Biological and nuclear weapons are both considered weapons of mass destruction, but only nuclear weapons currently serve as a deterrence. Some security experts have proposed the idea of nations adopting non-contagious biological weapons as a new form of deterrence. Critics note that the consequences of starting a global biological arms race are troubling enough, but the concept of replacing nuclear weapons with biological weapons as a form of deterrence is flawed for three main reasons: uncertainty of effects, availability of defenses, and the need for secrecy and surprise.
L.A.'s emergency communication system facing many hurdles
After the 9/11 attacks, the federal government encouraged authorities in large cities to build emergency communications systems that would allow separate agencies to coordinate together quickly and efficiently. The government offered grants to help pay some of the costs of the systems, pending completion of the work by a set deadline. In Los Angeles County, a common communications system is still not a reality years after officials signed up for the federal program. Besides technological hurdles, contracting issues, and constantly changing requirements from the federal government, Los Angeles County is having to deal with firefighters and residents who object the plan citing health and property value concerns with the placement of giant cell towers in their neighborhoods.
Improving plutonium identification
Researchers have developed a new kind of sensor that can be used to investigate the telltale isotopic composition of plutonium samples — a critical measurement for nuclear non-proliferation efforts and related forensics, as well as environmental monitoring, medical assays, and industrial safety. The novel device, based on "transition edge" sensor technology developed at NIST, is capable of ten times better resolution than all but the most expensive and time-consuming of current methods, and reduces the time needed for sample analysis from several days to one day.
Growing unease about local police agencies employing military gear
A two-decade-old Pentagon program — the 1033 Program — makes available to state and local police military equipment that the military no longer wants. Without state or local oversight, state and local law enforcement, and even natural resources departments, can make requests through a designated state coordinator, who, with Pentagon officials, has final say on granting equipment requests. About $5.4 billion worth of equipment has been distributed since the program began in 1997. State lawmakers in many states want their states to have more of a say in what military gear law enforcement agencies in the state should get. Law enforcement in Florida requested, and received, forty-seven mine-resistant vehicles and thirty-six grenade launchers, while police in Texas received seventy-three mine-resistant vehicles and a $24.3 million aircraft.
Airship maker suing the U.S. Navy for loss of an advanced blimp in roof collapse
Aeroscraft Aeronautical Systems has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Navy following the destruction of their Aeros airship. It was destroyed when a roof a 300,000 square foot Second World War-era hanger at Tustin Marine Corps Air Station in Tustin, California, collapsed. Aeroscraft is seeking to reclaim all losses as well as an unspecified amount meant to compensate the company for the $3 billion capital financing plan which was halted after the airship was destroyed. The base closed in 1999, but the property is still owned by the Navy, which leased buildings and hangars on the base to private companies.
Fighting fires with low-frequency sound waves
A thumping bass may do more than light up a party — it could flat out extinguish it, thanks to a new sound-blasting fire extinguisher by George Mason University undergrads. The fire extinguisher uses low-frequency sound waves to douse a blaze. Their sound-wave device is free of toxic chemicals and eliminates collateral damage from sprinkler systems. If mounted on drones, it could improve safety for firefighters confronting large forest fires or urban blazes.

Researchers have developed revolutionary reins which enable robots to act like guide dogs, which could enable that firefighters moving through smoke-filled buildings could save vital seconds and find it easier to identify objects and obstacles. The small mobile robot — equipped with tactile sensors — would lead the way, with the firefighter following a meter or so behind holding a rein. The robot would help the firefighter move swiftly in "blind" conditions, while vibrations sent back through the rein would provide data about the size, shape and even the stiffness of any object the robot finds.
FBI needs to improve intelligence capabilities, hire more linguists: Report
The FBI needs to improve its intelligence capabilities and hire more linguists to counter evolving threats to the United States, according to a 9/11 Review Commission reportexamining the bureau's progress since the 9/11 attacks, which was released Wednesday. "Many of the findings and recommendations in this report will not be new to the FBI," the report said. "The bureau is already taking steps to address them. In 2015, however, the FBI faces an increasingly complicated and dangerous global threat environment that will demand an accelerated commitment to reform. Everything is moving faster."
U.S. scrambling to identify, locate recruits to radical Islamist ideology
Nearly 3,000 Europeans have traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the Islamic State (ISIS), but social media and court records suggest just about two dozen Americans have made it to the Middle East to fight with the group. Another two dozen or so have been stopped by the FBI and charged before they could fly to Turkey and cross over into the Syrian territories controlled by ISIS.
U.S. law enforcement, with no clear understanding of how Americans are being recruited, are scrambling to identify U.S. residents attracted to radical Islamic ideology before those individuals try to travel or worse- launch an attack on U.S. soil.
Colorado deploys latest flood forecasting technology
Colorado governor John Hickenlooper has raised concerns about House Bill 1129, a 5-year, $10 million proposal to implement a new technology which would assist with predicting the direction and intensity of wildfires and floods. Scientists have spent twenty years working on the proposed technology for Colorado, saying it is finally ready for implementation. The technology uses rainfall estimation, precipitation forecasting, and water modeling along with hundreds of thousands of atmospheric data points to predict the direction, speed, and intensity of floods, with up to 12-hour notice. As advancements in technology and computing allow for more accurate flood predictions, some variables remain a challenge for hydrologists.
More lone-wolf attacks committed by extremists/supremacists than Jihadists
Internal documents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) reveal that more Lone Wolf attacks are committed by white supremacists and individuals with extreme right-wing ideologies than by Islamic extremists. Citing academic research, the agency attributes 17 percent of lone-wolf attacks worldwide to white supremacists causes. Islamic extremists account for 15 percent of such attacks, while left-wing radicalism and "black power" groups followed with 13 percent. Anti-abortion activism accounts for 8 percent and nationalism/separatism causes make up 7 percent, while 40 percent of lone wolf attacks showed no clear ideological motivation.
Destruction of 780,000 chemical munitions stockpiled in Colorado begins
This week Sandia National Laboratories' Explosive Destruction System (EDS) began safely destroying stockpile chemical munitions for the U.S. Army. The project to destroy 560 chemical munitions at the U.S. Army Pueblo Chemical Depot in Colorado with EDS is a prelude to a much larger operation to destroy the stockpile of 780,000 munitions containing 2,600 tons of mustard agent, stored at the Pueblo depot since the 1950s.
South Africa refuses to give up cache of weapon-grade uranium
In the 1980s, White minority-ruled South Africa built six nuclear bombs. In 1990s the F. W. de Klerk government began planning the transformation of the country into a democracy. As part of the transition, the country's nuclear weapons, and nuclear weapons-making infrastructure, were dismantled under IAEA supervision. TheWhite-minority regime and, since 1994, the democratically elected South African government, have both held to, and refused to give up, the 485 pounds of weapon-grade nuclear fuel – some of it extracted from the dismantled weapons and some of it already produced but not yet put in warheads. Despite pressure by successive U.S. administrations, South Africa says it is determined to keep its weapon-grade nuclear fuel.
Privacy concerns potentially an obstacle to 1 June Patriot Act reauthorization
With the USA Patriot Act set to expire on 1 June, lawmakers are debating whether the bill, which allows the National Security Agency (NSA) to collect bulk metadata of U.S. phone records, should be extended. The act was last renewed in 2011, before former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed details of the U.S. intelligence agency's surveillance activities. The debate around the reauthorization of the Patriot Act focuses on Section 215 of the law, used by the NSA to mass collect phone records in an effort to locate terrorists who might be calling supporters in the United States.

2003 Mazda MPV Q&A
2003 Mazda MPV Question: why oil light won' turn off?
oil light came on I put in 3 quarts of oil it still did not go off,overdue for an oil change,i went to have the oil change and the light did not go off the service tech said in time it will eventually go but it has not happen yet. - Visitor
Answer 1
That is a low oil pressure warning. Changing the oil will have no effect on this unless the oil was so old it turned into water. You need to have the oil pressure checked. It may just be the pressure sending unit is bad. But if in fact the pressure is low or nonexistent you very well may be causing grave internal engine damage by running the engine. - Pvt-Public

GAO: SC fuel fabrication plant will cost $2B more
The Tennessee Valley Authority has also begun a process of holding public meetings and gathering input in preparation for potentially signing on as a MOX customer, he said.
Tom Clements, an anti-nuclear activist with the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, said he was glad that the GAO had revealed the cost increase, something he said NNSA has long refused to do.
"Confirmation of a stunning $2-billion cost increase of the MOX plant construction spells big trouble for the project," Clements said. "There has been nothing short of a cover-up by NNSA of the huge cost increase, so GAO has done a public good by doing what NNSA adamantly has refused to do."
NNSA officials did not immediately comment on the report or the MOX budget.

I'm struggeling on this and I can't figure out why this error occurs.
I have a bean:
package mybeans;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class FrageAntwortListeBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String questions;
public FrageAntwortListeBean() {
this.questions = ""
public String toString() {
return questions;
public String getQuestions() {
return questions;
public void setQuestions(String questions) {
this.questions = questions;
So now I want to use this bean in a JSP:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<jsp:useBean id="meineFragen" class="mybeans.FrageAntwortListeBean" scope="session" />
<jsp:setProperty name="meineFragen" property="*" />
And now it is firing this error:
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Property 'questions' not found on type mybeans.FrageAntwortListeBean
I have absolutely no clue, why this happens, because I never had this issue before... What am I doing wrong?? I simplified the example for just a string attribute, normally it looks more complex, but I get this error even with that simple structure! What am I doing wrong?
Even if I use a scriptlet, eclipse of course suggests me the function getQuestions() but when running the JSP it is showing a similar error.
<%= meineFragen.getQuestions() %>
If I import it via page directive and use the following it is working. BUT, scriptlets are ugly!
<%! FrageAntwortListeBean x = new FrageAntwortListeBean(); %>
<%= x.getQuestions() %>
I appreciate all help! :) Working with apache tomcat 7, did redeployment, cleaning it up, compiling everything new. Used a new installation. No chance!

The Referee Office will be closed on July 1 through July 6.
Have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July holiday weekend!
The State Referee Committee and the MDCVSA Neptune Soccer Classic Adult Tournament Committee are pleased to announce that we will once again conduct a Referee Academy at the Neptune Soccer Classic on August 7th, 8th and 9th, 2015. All matches for Neptune are played at the Hampton Roads Soccer Complex in Virginia Beach. The Academy will kick off with a Referee Meeting on Friday evening, August 7th, 7 PM, (location to be announced) in the Virginia Beach/Chesapeake area.
Paul Tamberino, former FIFA AR, four time MISL Referee of the Year as well as former US Soccer Federation Director of Referee Development, and currently PA West Director of Referee Coaching will be our lead instructor.
The Academy will be held on fields where Men's, Co-Ed and Women's Premier, Competitive and Recreational matches will be played, including semifinals and finals on Sunday. The Neptune Soccer Classic uses a 40-minute half format for all matches.
If you are a Grade 6 or 7 referee – at least 18 years of age or older - who has officiated as a center referee at the adult level for a minimum of 2 years and you are interested in improving your skills as a referee, especially at the adult level, please apply for this academy. You will receive feedback from State and National Assessors as well as tournament referee pay for all of the matches you officiate. Mileage is not reimbursable. GRADE, AGE AND EXPERIENCE ARE NOT WAIVERABLE. YOU MUST MEET THE ABOVE CRITERIA TO APPLY.
We will select 12 referees from the state to attend the Academy - 6 from outside the Hampton Roads area and 6 from southeast Virginia. Housing (double occupancy) will be provided for all referees who are selected.
The SRC is committed to providing opportunities for you to grow professionally and we are excited to team up with MDCVSA and the Neptune Soccer Classic for this referee development opportunity. If you have the desire and think this will benefit you, please apply NO LATER than July 2nd. Late applications will be not be considered.
To apply for this Academy, please email a completed application form as a word.doc (click HERE for the form) to the State Office at email@example.com. Please put NEPTUNE REFEREE ACADEMY in the subject line.
Don't forget – reply by July 2, 2015, if you wish to be considered for this Academy. LATE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable year of officiating!
There appears to be some confusion on 2015 recertification assessment requirements for grade 6 (State) referees. Information has been sent out since early 2014 from US Soccer in their monthly Referee Department Updates.
To reiterate the current policy - 2 maintenance assessments (with a passing score) are required annually for recertification. One must be on an adult Division 2 game or higher. All games must be a minimum of 40 minute halves. A minimum of 30 days between assessments is required, unless the game was considered to be "non-ratable" by the assessor. In those cases, the next assessment may be the next day.
For this year only, I am waiving the 30 day requirement between games and will reduce it to 14 days. Please note, this is for this year only. All assessments in 2015 for 2016 registration must have a minimum of 30 days in between.
Don Torrenti
USSF National Assessor
State Director of Assessment, DC/VA
The Metro DC-Virginia State Referee Program has implemented a pilot program that will test a system to collect referee performance data. For now, feedback will be provided on matches played in NCSL and WAGS. We will be using a version of RefFeedback.com to gather this data.
Read the memo to referees from Patrick Delaney, SRC Chairman: CLICK HERE
Read the memo to NCSL and WAGS: CLICK HERE
We are committed to continuous improvement of the referees in our program as well as the identification of outstanding officials. This tool will provide the data to help us focus on the areas where more education, training, or mentoring might be needed or where high level performance should be recognized and encouraged.
All candidates for upgrade to Grade 5 must submit a comprehensive list of their games that count for upgrade to Grade 5 to the SDA prior to their upgrade approval. This list should include at a minimum, the game date, league, division, teams and assignor's name.

1 H and 13 C NMR assignments of new methoxylated furanoflavonoids from Lonchocarpus araripensis
ABSTRACT Two new polymethoxylated flavonoids, 2',5',6'-trimethoxy-[2'',3'' : 3',4']furano dihydrochalcone and 2,4',4,5-tetramethoxy-[2'',3'' : 6,7]-furanodihydroaurone, were isolated from the root barks of Lonchocarpus araripensis, along with the known compounds 3,4,5,6-tetramethoxy-[2'',3'' : 7,8]-furanoflavan, 3,6-dimethoxy-1'',1''-dimethylcromene-[2'',3'' : 7,8]-flavone, 3',4'-methylenodioxy-5,6-dimethoxy-[2'',3'' : 7,8]-furanoflavone, 3,5,6-trimethoxy-[2'',3'' : 7,8]-furanoflavanone, 3,5,6-trimethoxy-[2'',3'' : 7,8]-furanoflavone, and 6alpha-hydroxy-medicarpin. The complete (1)H and (13)C NMR assignments of the new furan flavonoids were performed using 1D and 2D pulse sequences, including COSY, HSQC, and HMBC experiments, and comparison with spectral data for analog compounds from the literature, particularly for the new furanodihydroaurone because of several inconsistencies on the carbonyl chemical shifts from the literature.

Claus Zimmermann TieSight
Alright, so you never really learned how to tie a tie. Most of the time, that's OK, but when you're about to go for that job interview or show up for a wedding, you need to get it right. Pardon the cliche, but yes, there's even an app for that now. German developer Claus Zimmermann has released his TieSight ($1) app in the Mac App Store, and it's a surprisingly cool tool: TieSight uses the camera built into your Mac to show you exactly how to properly knot your tie, while you're wearing it.
TieSight includes ten different knot types; Half Windsor's a good starting point for beginners. Once you've chosen which one you'd like to use, the app will walk you right through the process, while superimposing the steps onto the image of you from the FaceTime camera. To advance to the next step, you can either make a noise, use a timer, or just click through. You'll finally be able to throw out those clip-ons, which is surely worth the $1 asking price.

An interview with "Amy" director Asif Kapadia and producer James Gay-Rees.
"Into the Blue" is, of all things, an adventure story. Not a high-powered thriller with goofy special effects, but a story about people and hazards and treasure and love, in which every single thing that everybody does is physically possible for people to really do (except that they can apparently hold their breath indefinitely). The movie is written, acted and directed as a story, not as an exercise in mindless kinetic energy.
Paul Walker and Jessica Alba star, as Jared and Sam, lovers who live on a leaky boat in the Bahamas and search for buried treasure. They haven't found much, but they have their love to keep them warm. Tied up at a nearby dock is the larger and more powerful boat of Bates (Josh Brolin), who has money and success and wants to hire Jared, but there's something creepy about him.
Jared's friend Bryce (Scott Caan) flies in from the mainland with a girlfriend named Amanda (Ashley Scott) he says he picked up the night before. They all go diving together and find two kinds of treasure in more or less the same place: one ancient, one right up to date. They could become very rich. But Bryce is greedy and wants to push them in a direction that Jared and Sam are ethically opposed to.
This description sounds dry and abstract, but the movie is juicy with fun. I'm trying not to tell you too much about what happens, because one of the pleasures of "Into the Blue" is that it develops as a narrative, not as a series of action scenes, and the characters don't mindlessly hurry from one impossible stunt to another but weigh their options, advocate opposing strategies and improvise when they get in danger.
A lot of the movie takes place underwater, and director John Stockwell and cinematographers Shane Hurlbut and Peter Zuccarini do a good job of keeping us oriented under the sea. We know more or less where everything is, and what it means, and how it can be involved in the story; when there's an underwater emergency that almost kills Bryce, it is handled as if the characters (or the writers) have some practical information about scuba diving. There is also the surprise of having something very bad happen to a character we had every reason to expect would be around until the end of the movie.
The opening scenes are deceptive. The Jessica Alba character seems to have wandered over from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, or maybe she thinks she's in a video. Then the plot kicks in and she gets a lot to do while still looking fine in a swimsuit. She also looks surprisingly sweet after the stripper she played in "Sin City." Scott Caan, like his old man, James Caan, does a good job of playing a persuasive jerk, and Paul Walker is intriguing in the way he has his standards but can be talked out of them. People actually change their minds during this movie; in most action films, they're issued with an identity in their first scene and limited by that identity for the rest of the movie.
"Into the Blue" offers modest pleasures. It is not an essential film, but if you go to see it, it will not insult your intelligence, and there's genuine suspense toward the end. It is a well-made example in a genre that has been cheapened and made routine. There's evidence the filmmakers spent more time talking about the characters and story than about how special effects would allow them to cheat on the narrative logic. And at the end of the film, there are some small surprises about who has survived and who has not. Usually you can predict the final head count at the end of the first act.

Pen-pals and long overdue visits
... the aunties got the beds upstairs, and Connor decided to sleep in the van. This old place is very sturdy, all decked out for the cold weather conditions of Germany...and it was lovely that it was still filled with furniture we could use. The family who used to live here had actually been through the place and stuck different coloured dots on each piece of furniture and each knick knack (and I do think the whole town is into knick knacks - you can see ornaments ...
Visiting family in the Netherlands
At last we got the chance to spend more than a couple of days in Maastricht! My cousin Annelies and her husband Jules live there and it's a wonderful city full of history and culture. We really enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts and Jen and Matt were able to visit for my birthday. Sharan and Peter Burrow were only an hour away in Brussels so we got to spend a weekend with them as well as cousins Kees and Ans who live in the rural town of Berlicum and Sanne and Dan in Zierikzee ...

After lunch we were bussed back to our ship which was now docked at Koln(Cologne), we were given the option of a 1 hr walking tour but as it was raining & quite cold & the four of us were already coughing & spluttering, we decided to call it a day.
We will have to come back another time.

Homegoing for Robert Harris-Pendelton is December 3
Rev. Robert Harris-Pendelton, a Nyack College adjunct professor and a 2006 alumnus of Nyack's Master in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) program, passed away on November 24, following the Thanksgiving Day meal with his family.
A funeral service for Rev. Harris-Pendelton will be held on Saturday, December 3 at Community Baptist Church in Englewood, NJ, which was his home church before being appointed the senior pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Boonton, NJ in July 2007. He was ordained by the Permanent Council of the North Jersey Missionary Baptist Association on December 7, 2003.
The 47-year-old Harris-Pendelton was a speaker this year at Nyack's MSOL hooding ceremony for 2011 graduates. Passionate about teaching adult students, he served them as a mentor and coach—always inspiring them with God's Word.
The campus community is encouraged to pray for his family—wife, Karla Harris-Pendelton and his children, Robyn and Kiana.

- Up in premarket trading thanks to its Yahoo search deal, Perion Network (PERI -12.9%) is now tumbling due to its Q2 miss.
- Although revenue grew 99% Y/Y in Q2, growth slowed from a torrid Q1 rate of 145%.
- CEO Josef Mandelbaum says Perion's efforts to diversify its toolbar search partner base beyond Google - in addition to Yahoo, deals have been signed with Bing and Ask.com - have taken longer than expected, hurting Q2 revenue and leading revenue expected in Q3 to be pushed out to Q4. (PR)
- Perion expects Q3 revenue to fall to $20M-$22M (~30% Y/Y growth) from Q2's $24.4M.
Perion Network reverses gains on Q2 miss, light guidance
