Parkinson's, What Do We Really Know?
Tuesday December 11, 2012
Steve Ford
Huffington Post.uk - This summer, Bob Hoskins became the latest member to join a small but select group of high profile figures - including Michael J Fox and Muhammad Ali - to be diagnosed with Parkinson's.
This shock revelation and the flurry of press activity that followed, helped to place the condition firmly in the spotlight.
Yet now that the celebrity gloss has faded, do we really understand more about Parkinson's?
If our latest round of research is anything to go by then it is clear that Parkinson's remains a mystery to most, with more than three quarters of Britons reporting that they have little or no knowledge of the condition.
Perhaps this is because Parkinson's isn't something that is particularly common? The truth is that Parkinson's is far from rare. One person every hour will be diagnosed with Parkinson's, and once diagnosed it is a condition that also has an impact on family and friends.
So, if Parkinson's is far from rare - why is it that it less well understood than other health conditions like heart disease, cancer or stroke? I suspect that the answer, like the condition itself, is far from simple.
Critics of charity awareness campaigns will ask if it really matters if the general public don't know too much about Parkinson's. It won't affect their chances of getting it after all. True. How much you know about Parkinson's won't make a jot of difference to whether you develop it or not.
Yet not all campaigns are about encouraging people to be vigilant against a health problem. As Chief Executive of Parkinson's UK, I come into contact with people with the condition on a daily basis, and hear first hand how many people struggle to get acceptance amongst the public at large of just how devastating and debilitating Parkinson's can be.
I've heard from people accused of being drunk, refused service in supermarkets, ignored by taxi drivers, and even arrested by police at the Olympics for not smiling (lack of facial expression can be one of the signs of the condition). This simply has to change.
Our challenge is clear - to expose the realities that those living with Parkinson's face on a daily basis so that these vulnerable people can get the understanding they deserve.
So what exactly is Parkinson's? The medical definition tells us that it develops when nerve cells in the brain start to die, causing problems with balance and movement. But this is only half the story.
The majority of people will just associate Parkinson's with a tremor or shake, yet the simple truth is Parkinson's is so much more, it is a life-shattering, incurable condition that affects almost every aspect of people's everyday lives.
Alongside the physical problems that can make the simplest of tasks - like making a cup of tea - so difficult, here are host of unseen symptoms. Speech problems, depression, anxiety, dementia, sleep deprivation, bowel and bladder disorders; the list is endless.
To combat these misconceptions, we are launching a new awareness drive to expose the realities of everyday life with Parkinson's.
Reworked images of six everyday tasks that can be incredibly difficult for those affected by Parkinson's, including making a cup of tea and putting on a pair of shoes will be appearing in advertisements around the UK, backed up by real life stories of those living with the condition.
Although we may not be able to change the world with an advert, to continue with this status quo, where Parkinson's is seen as no big deal, is plainly wrong.
All too often, Parkinson's and conditions like it, are pushed to the bottom of the government's 'to do' list. It is about time that Parkinson's is seen as a priority, not just for research funding, but also for health and social policy spend.
We hope that this new campaign will go some way help to dispel some of the lingering fallacies surrounding the condition once and for all so that people with Parkinson's gain the understanding they so desperately need.
If even one person takes the time to understand the truth behind the tremor - then we are one step closer to making life easier for people with Parkinson's.
If you spot the ads, I would love to hear what you think of them.

Analyzing visual attention tot repeated print advertising using scanpath theory
The purpose of this paper is to propose a nonparametric interest rate term structure model and investigate its implications on term structure dynamics and prices of interest rate derivative securities. The nonparametric spot interest rate process is estimated from the observed short-term interest rates following a robust estimation procedure and the market price of interest rate risk is estimated as implied from the historical term structure data. That is, instead of imposing a priori restrictions on the model, data are allowed to speak for themselves, and at the same time the model retains a parsimonious structure and the computational tractability. The model is implemented using historical Canadian interest rate term structure data. The parametric models with closed form solutions for bond and bond option prices, namely the Vasicek (1977) and CIR (1985) models, are also estimated for comparison purpose. The empirical results not only provide strong evidence that the traditional spot interest rate models and market prices of interest rate risk are severely misspecified but also suggest that different model specifications have significant impact on term structure dynamics and prices of interest rate derivative securities.

Good camera! I can say it with bias as I have a couple of Bronicas myself FWIW, its just what I think so
RB/RZI am curious, though, of a few things:
OK, I am going to start with the 80 F2.8, but what are the key lenses to look at. I am looking at probably finding something to shoot portraits with. The obvious first point would be the 150mm. But does anyone have any experience with the 110mm Macro? Would that be a suitable portrait lens?
What other lenses that are part of the system should I be considering (In general)
If you are into macros, the 110's are nice lenses. I would find them a little short for portrait unless doing 3/4. Much prefer at least a 135, 150, or 180. Even the 250 has its purpose here.
What are the key failure points on such camera's? I have read in that their have been light leak problems in earlier SQ backs. Is this still apparent in the later SQ-Ai? If so, is it a case of replacing seals/felts or is it more of a wear issue?
Been lucky so far as bodies goes. All is still working (even with a torture test at -40C one day). One lens blew a spring, so will eventually send it out for repairs but other than that, haven't had any problems.
Other Accessories
What other accessories should I be looking for? At the moment, I am looking at one with a WLF. Apart from the metering aspects, is it worth my while going for an AE prism?
Can't say much as I never really wanted a metered prism. Have a plain prism instead. External spotmeter works for me just fine for exposure.
What about grips and the like? Also, what portable flashes should I be looking at (if I go the AE prism and want to do TTL flash metering?)
The speed grip is great coupled with a prism. Heavy combo but quick to use.
Oh and PS. If anyone mentions a RB/RZ, I'll freaken scream

Bond-like stocks are surging ahead on the Federal Reserve's decision not to taper.
Investors have used certain high-dividend-paying stocks as bond substitutes in the era of low rates. These include real-estate investment trusts, master limited partnerships and utilities. Low interest rates as a result of the Fed's continued bond buying could make income-oriented stocks look like a better place to go for yield.
Such investments shot up Wednesday. The Vanguard REIT Index Fund jumped immediately after the release of the Fed's statement and was up 2.6% in late-afternoon trading.

Utilities shares in the S&P 500, which carry a 4% dividend yield, jumped 2.8%, the biggest gain among the index's 10 sectors. The SPDR S&P Dividend exchange-traded fund, which tracks an index of stocks with a history of increasing dividend payouts, rose 1.3%, slightly outpacing the S&P 500′s 1.2% advance.
To be sure, these investments have had a rocky ride this year, exhibiting more volatility than bond investors are accostumed to. The REIT ETF, for example, sold off in May after Fed Chairman Bernanke hinted tapering was imminent, and is up just 4.4% on the year.

Iris Rainer Dart ("Beaches") wrote the book and lyrics to the new musical The People in the Picture, in which Tony Award winner Donna Murphy plays a 1970s "bubbie" revealing secrets from her life as the darling of pre-World War II Polish-Yiddish theatre. A score by composer Mike Stoller (Smokey Joe's Café) and Artie Butler evokes a past that shakes the world of a chilly daughter (Nicole Parker) and an eager granddaughter (Rachel Resheff) in Roundabout Theatre Company's world premiere at Studio 54.

Another version of Dr Laura encounter
Expand Messages
- You probably have seen another version of this send up with an encounter
with Dr Laura. This appeared in Planetout today and brings a little
different slant.
Have a great weekend.
President Josiah Bartlet: You're Dr. Jenna Jacobs, right?
Dr. Laura-type character: Yes, Sir.
Bartlet: ...Forgive me, Dr. Jacobs. Are you an M.D.?
Jacobs: A Ph.D.
Bartlet: A Ph.D.
Jacobs: Yes, Sir.
Bartlet: Psychology?
Jacobs: No, Sir.
Bartlet: Theology?
Jacobs: No.
Bartlet: Social work?
Jacobs: I have a Ph.D. in English literature.
Bartlet: I'm asking 'cause on your show, people call in for
advice and you go by the name Dr. Jacobs on your show, and I
didn't know if maybe your listeners were confused by that
and assumed you had advanced training in psychology,
theology or health care.
Jacobs: I don't believe they are confused, no, Sir.
Bartlet: Good. I like your show. I like how you call
homosexuality an abomination.
Jacobs: I don't say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr.
President, the Bible does.
Bartlet: Yes, it does. Leviticus.
Jacobs: 18:22.
Bartlet: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of
questions while I had you here. I'm interested in selling my
youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.
She's a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always
cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good
price for her be? While thinking about that, can I ask
another? My chief of staff, Leo McGarry, insists on working
on the sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to
death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or is it
OK to call the police? Here's one that's really important
'cause we've got a lot of sports fans in this town. Touching
the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If
they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins
still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does
the whole town really have to be together to stone my
brother John for planting different crops side-by-side? Can
I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing
garments made from two different threads? Think about those
questions, would you? One last thing, while you may be
mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant
Tight-ass Club, in this building, when the President stands,
nobody sits.
--Exchange between President Bartlet and a character clearly
meant to be Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Oct. 18 on NBC-TV's The
West Wing.

Will AMD's XvBA Beat Out NVIDIA's VDPAU?

Originally posted by thefirstm View PostI said that. I should have clarified myself more. What I meant was that Nvidia had a headstart when it came to hardware decoding on UNIX-like operating systems.
What you are right about is the adoption and marketing side of it, which by no means hinder the truth value of your argument. Even the technical side is different, the real situation is again reflected by your argument.
I wanted to point that the fact of being better and being first doesn't always bring victory but instead of writing it directly, I injected the whole idea to the post.

VA-API on the other hand is badly documented, if at all, and seems to be missing out some of the functionality provided by VDPAU.Last edited by greg; 07-07-2009, 07:48 AM.
Originally posted by greg View PostI'd rather consider VDPAU to be the most mature API. It is widely supported by applications, works well (on NVidia GPUs, no idea about S3) and is very well-documented. Currently it's the only video decoding API which has an implementation that "just works" *now* and without major fuss.
VA-API on the other hand is badly documented, if at all, and seems to be missing out some of the functionality provided by VDPAU.
The question was about mature and complete. VA API is just that:
- complete: supports more codecs and video encode acceleration
- mature: well, it has been around for a long time, though implementations were not public. There are at least 4 (if not 5), "native" implementations, i.e. real drivers, not counting my bridges.
Now, as I said, applications support is weaker due to initial lack of drivers, but it's as trivial to add as for VDPAU. So, this can change quite easily.

Originally posted by phhusson View PostSince Geforce FX (maybe even before, not so sure), there was also some hardware video decoding acceleration through XvMC, and has always been here, until Geforce 8, which got VDPAU, and as far as i remember (that was a long time ago), the video decoding was almost totally dischard to the GPU (on a athlon 2500+ i had less than 10% of CPU activity) for MPEG2, others codecs could have been also accelerated if someone ever done some code to use this motion compensation in it, but noone ever did :/
Whatever, this is not a flame war. My point was that ATI is consistently the first company to innovate things and to fail since they're unable to market and use it correctly.
This "In the future there will be robots" kind of news is getting old. By the time XvBA is oficially published there would be a new X.org version and, guess what? It won't be supported by the Catalyst driver so we'll be stuck with the open source drivers.

With the release of Rodrigo y Gabriela they are satisfied that they have managed to finally capture the raw excitement and energy of their live shows. Showing them as leaders in their field, gleefully blending and blurring musical genres in pursuit to their artistic vision a direct connection with the hearts and minds of the audience.
Most of the songs are breathless, built on sublime reels up and down the frets and fast, Andalucian-style call and response. Perhaps it's relocating to Dublin that has made Rodrigo and Gabriel so free and easy with their own folk roots: they'll take on anything.
Two tracks feature fiery fiddler Roby Lakatos, who brings his Hungarian gypsy soul into the mix, while a version of Stairway to Heaven re-imagines the song as a quasi-medieval meditation. Virtuosity is everything on this disc, and Rod and Gab will continue to appeal as much to guitar students as folk music fans. They have a youthful energy that is infectious and a winning, fresh-faced style. A bonusDVD comes with this release, in which they give a guitar class -it's great fun, but get the ice ready for your fire-singed fingertips. --Chris Moss

This is your old pal Ash. I accompanied Levi while he went looking for a house to rent. We pretty much thought we had struck out for the day when we went to see a nice secluded place and met the Realtor. Her name was Kyllie and she was pretty pissed off we were an hour late. While she showed us the property Levi started working his magic. She had not been with anyone since she had her son and was really in need of a good fucking. She split from her hubby and was in a hump slump for 5 or 6 months. Levi picked up some vibes and realized she was into him. She let her hair down and Levi was eventually munching some snapper right on the kitchen counter. He broke in that house perfectly. She had a blast and got to rent out a place and earn her commission.

text: Hawaii's Manufacturing Safety Oversight Returned to State By Roy Maurer 9/20/2013 Permissions Hawaii will reclaim oversight of manufacturers' workplace-safety regulations effective Oct. 1, 2013, after a year of temporary enforcement under the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The Hawaii State Department of Labor & Industrial Relations announced Sept. 13, 2013, that it would reassume jurisdiction over the state's manufacturing industries after a 2012 operational status agreement was put in place to reform the state's safety and health program (HIOSH). Although Hawaii is a state-plan state, which means it operates its own occupational safety and health program, federal OSHA stepped in to oversee safety in manufacturing and other sectors after it claimed that HIOSH failed to meet OSHA's minimum standards for staffing and enforcement. State-plan states must set job-safety and health standards that are at least as effective as federal standards. They're also required to conduct inspections to enforce standards and provide free onsite consultation to help businesses identify and correct workplace hazards, as federal OSHA does.In a September 2012 agreement, OSHA and HIOSH shifted workplace-safety oversight to OSHA in all industry sectors except construction, transportation, warehousing, and state and local government, and the federal agency promised to assist the state in rebuilding its workplace-safety program. The agreement set a three-year timetable for HIOSH to reclaim its role as the sole enforcement authority in Hawaii. "One of my first and ongoing priorities in the department has been the restoration of HIOSH," said Hawaii Department of Labor & Industrial Relations Director Dwight Takamine. "Much of that effort has involved staff recruitment for the division and continuously seeking advice and help from our federal partners. The return of the manufacturing sector to our jurisdiction recognizes that we are hitting those milestones necessary to re-establish meaningful safety and health regulation, although the work is not finished." The agreement stemmed from several years of HIOSH's failing to meet required benchmarks after facing major budgetary and staffing cutbacks that affected its program significantly, according to OSHA. Thirty-two of 51 HIOSH positions were eliminated during the state's 2009 layoffs. During the 2009 fiscal year, HIOSH completed only 426 of 835 intended inspections. The following year there were further staff reductions and cases that were not appropriately classified, OSHA reported in its annual state-plan-monitoring report. HIOSH will resume its oversight of accommodations and food service by October 2014 and the remainder of general industry businesses by 2015 if the department continues to meet federal requirements. Stronger inspection efforts are already under way, according to state labor department spokesman Bill Kunstman, who said the agency is on target to complete 500 workplace inspections this year. Notably, a Honolulu refrigeration warehouse was fined $251,330 in August 2013 after federal and state investigators discovered 63 health and safety violations, including locked and sealed exit doors. "Our goal is not only to restore the capacity we once had but to become even stronger and more effective than we have ever been," Takamine said. Roy Maurer is an online editor/manager for SHRM.

text: on Jun 19, 2013 @ 8:30 AMJun 19, 2013 @ 8:30 AM Published Thailand cuts rice-buying subsidy after big lossesThailand said Wednesday that it would slash the price paid to rice farmers under a controversial scheme that caused the kingdom to lose its place as the world's top exporter of the commodity last year.The country has paid its farmers around 50 percent more than the market value for rice since 2011 in an effort to boost incomes in the rural heartlands of the ruling party.The government tries to sell the rice in world markets but faces stiff competition from rival producers such as Vietnam and India, and lost about 137 billion baht ($4.5 billion) from the scheme in the year to January.In an effort to reduce the cost, the price paid will be reduced by 20 percent, to 12,000 baht ($388) per ton, according to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's office."We have to lower the price because this scheme has cost a lot of money," said Varathep Rattanakorn, a minister attached to the PM's office.While the policy has proved popular in impoverished rural areas, political opponents say the scheme is designed to curry favour with farmers in northeast Thailand whose support helped sweep Yingluck to power in 2011.Her older brother Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted as prime minister by royalist generals in a coup in 2006, is hugely popular in rural Thailand thanks to his populist policies while in power.Corruption allegations have also swirled around the rice scheme amid claims some farmers have not received full payment.This year Thailand is forecast to buy 22 million tons of the grain at a cost of up to 500 billion baht, a cabinet statement said.A cap of 500,000 baht will be introduced for each family per harvest.The government has previously said it is confident that it can find buyers for its rice on world markets at a price that will raise the living standards of its farmers.It says it has signed deals to sell rice directly to other countries, but exporters have reported a glut of unsold stocks. Since Thailand began buying rice at inflated prices it has been overtaken by both India and Vietnam as a global rice exporter. But a government spokesman denied the scheme had hurt growth or been a failure."The price revision is due to the fluctuation of the global economy and the weakening of the baht," Teerat Ratanasevi told reporters.bc/ask/apj/dr/jta

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Jackson situation a real puzzler
So when will Stephen Jackson play again for the Bucks?
Good question, and there's no real way to know the answer.
Jackson did not play a minute in the Bucks' 103-82 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday at the Bradley Center. The veteran guard was healthy and available after missing the previous game due to a one-game league suspension for verbally abusing an official.
But with the Bucks clicking in their home victory over the Lakers on Saturday, Bucks coach Scott Skiles elected to stay with a similar rotation against Detroit.
Asked if Jackson would return to the playing rotation against Miami on Wednesday, Skiles said: "We're game by game with basically everything we're doing now. Different guys are finishing the game certain nights, so we'll see.
"We're playing pretty well right now, so I'm going to make the best decisions I can to stick with what's working."
Bucks general manager John Hammond declined comment Tuesday on whether Jackson had asked to be traded.
"We're always looking to improve all situations for our team and within our team if it's a possibility," Hammond said.
The 33-year-old Jackson was acquired in June along with Shaun Livingston and Beno Udrih in a three-team draft-day trade which sent John Salmons to Sacramento and Corey Maggette to Charlotte. The Bucks also gave up the 10th overall pick in the draft but picked up the No. 19 pick from the Bobcats and used it to take Tennessee forward Tobias Harris.
Jackson ranks second on the team in scoring at 12.8 points per game and has played in 17 games, including 13 starts. He has struggled with his shooting, hitting just 36.7% from the field and 29.4% from three-point range (25 of 85). He is shooting 87% from the foul line (41 of 47).
Jackson scored a season-high 34 points in a Bucks victory over San Antonio on Jan. 10, and he had 20 points off the bench while playing 30 minutes against Houston last week. That came after he played 28 minutes against Atlanta and took just one shot while going scoreless in a 97-92 Milwaukee loss on Jan. 23.
He played 36 minutes against the Bulls on Friday (10 points, five assists, four rebounds). But Jackson was suspended by the league the next day for a verbal altercation with referee Tony Brothers following the Chicago game.
Mike Dunleavy Jr., Udrih and Ersan Ilyasova were the primary players off the bench against Detroit, each playing 23 minutes or more.
"They know my situation; they know how I feel so it's not disappointing," Jackson said of not playing against the Pistons. "We won the game. I supported the guys.
"And you know what, for the most part, Scott is right. We are playing well without me in the lineup."
Jackson was asked if Skiles had said anything to him about it.
"You know what, I'm pretty sure he won't," Jackson said.
Jackson also did not play against New York on Jan. 20 and was fined by the team after missing the morning shoot-around before that game.
Shaun Livingston was inserted in the starting lineup against the Knicks and has started the last seven games. The Bucks are 5-2 since he joined the starting five.

Kids with real troubles... The cool thing about these stories is no "magic", just "real". These authors are masters of humor, positivity, and poignant storytelling. The Higher Power Of Lucky, a child who worries that her legal guardian may abandon her and return home to France. Al Capone Does My Shirts, children of guards living on Alcatraz Island. Harry Sue... Her home situation is dire. Internal strength of character, and external network of friends, creates "home and security". In each case, the children discover their own strength and value, BECAUSE of those around them.
Just in time for short days and long to-do lists, these little books are great excuses to take a break and enjoy a bit of solitude, in the best company – yours.
They are quick reads – no more than 100 pages or so, and tuck nicely into your coat pocket. Next time you find yourself standing in line; or being put on hold, listening to elevator music, you will have the perfect distraction.

May-Dec. romance in the French countryside sets off family wars across the Atlantic.
An Afternoon with Rock Hudson by Mercedes Deambrosis; translated from Spanish by Mike Mitchell.
Chance encounter between two old friends triggers off some self-destructive behavior, including anonymous sex with a man sitting at the next café table. Amusing.
Mercedes-Benz: From Letters to Hrabal by Paweł Huelle; translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones.
Narrator Pawel tells of the driving lessons he took in the early 1990s around Gdansk, Poland, all the while entertaining his instructor Miss Ciwle with stories of his family's ownership of Mercedes-Benz cars. Great storytelling.

The Scent of Your Breath by Melissa P; translated from Italian by Shaun Whiteside.
A breathless autobiographical second novel by this bright young Sicilian writer - a smoldering tale of sexual obsession, plumbed deeply from the disturbing mind of a teenage girl terrorized by love.
It's such a pleasure to find a new good read. With over 170,000 books being published yearly in the United States I feel it helps to get a recommendation.
Monday December 11th on NPR's "Fresh Air" NPR Maureen Corrigan recommends "The Year's Best Mystery and Nonfiction". This article also gives you access to several other lists of recommended Holiday books including recommendations by Ann Arbors own Karl Pohrt owner of Shaman Drum Books in Ann Arbor.
Followers of Ian Rankin's Inspector John Rebus series might want to consider this one…
Bleeding Hearts is a first U.S. edition of a stand-alone, originally published in the U.K.(1994) under his pseudonym - Jack Harvey.
Michael Weston is a highly-paid and seasoned assassin, famed for his long-distant shot through the heart. Things did not go well with the last job – it was a set-up. Now he must find his double-crossing employer and at the same time, stay a step ahead of his archnemesis - an American PI named Hoffer.
Reviewers expect the nonstop action, copious violence and arcane details about weaponry and forensics will please thriller junkies, but it's also "smart and inventive" enough to engage fans of the Rebus series.
If you are tired of the "Disneyfied" versions of your favorite fairy tales, but short on time, then Jonathan Vankin's condensed versions are for you. Based on the original tales of the brothers Grimm, they have been converted to comic form by fifty-two artists for the book The Big Book of Grimm (released by Paradox Press, an imprint of DC Comics). You will find some familiar names among them—Keith Giffen (of Ambush Bug and Justice League fame), Sergio Argones (creater of Groo the Wanderer and marginals for MAD Magazine since 1963), Joe Staton (numerous DC titles including Justice Society of America, Green Lantern, and Scooby Doo), and James Kochalka (American Elf). My personal favorite was Kochalka's "Dog and Sparrow", which was as cute as it was gruesome.
The benefits of globalization debate is a constant one. Nobel Prize winning economist and professor at Columbia University Joseph E. Stiglitz writes in Making Globalization Work of the possibility that globalization can work for everyone. For an interview with the author you can listen here in the last hour of the show.
The Independent Media Center has put together a video to express their view of globalization and what happened in Miami during the FTAA meeting.
For other selections in the AADL collection click here. PBS has three DVDs in a series titled Commanding Heights, the battle for the world economy DVD 1 DVD 2 DVD 3 discussing the effects of globalization.
For this season of peace, there is a lot of mayhem entering the List this week. With his latest novel, some critics are also suggesting Crichton himself is running amok.
At #2 is Next by Michael Crichton: "The author of "Jurassic Park" describes a not-too-distant future when genetic engineering runs amok."
At #5 is Treasure of Khan by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler: "In his 19th adventure, Dirk Pitt confronts a murderous Mongolian tycoon who manipulates the oil market and knows the secret of Genghis."
At #6 is Brother Odd by Dean Koontz: "With his ability to see the spirits of the dead, Odd Thomas, a character in two previous novels by Koontz, heads off a catastrophe at a monastery."
Written in short lines of free verse, Street Love tells a story of love across social-class lines. Damien who excels at both basketball and academics has been accepted into a top college. In contrast Junice is desperate to protect her little sister after their single-parent mom is sentenced to 25 years for dealing drugs.
From the moment they meet on the bench in the school office, it's clear they're drawn to one another. Coming from such different worlds "love" is the only thing Damien and Junice have in common. Is it enough to keep them together?
If you enjoyed Twilight by Stephanie Meyer New Moon the second book in the trilogy is now available on BOCD or a Book. If you enjoy listening to either of these books, check out Pirates The True and Remarkable Adventures of Minerva Sharpe and Nancy Kington, Female Pirates another great listen!

IFC Films Acquires INESCAPABLE Starring Siddig, Jackson and Tomei
IFC Films has acquired from Myriad Pictures the U.S. distribution rights to Director/Writer Ruba Nadda's (Cario Time) thriller Inescapable, which premiered as a Gala Presentation at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Alexander Siddig (Cario Time, Kingdom of Heaven), Joshua Jackson (Lay the Favorite, "Fringe") and Marisa Tomei (Crazy, Stupid Love., The Wrestler, My Cousin Vinny). Thefilm was produced by Daniel Iron (Citizen Gangster, Cairo Time, Away From Her, The Bang Bang Club, The Red Violin) and Lance Samuels (The Bang Bang Club). Christine Vachon (Boys Don't Cry, Far From Heaven), of Killer Films, Kirk D'Amico (Margin Call, The Good Girl) of Myriad Pictures and Mark Slone of Alliance Films serve as Executive Producers. Alliance Films is distributing Inescapable in Canada.
INESCAPABLE is the story of a Syrian expatriate (Siddig) whose journalist daughter goes missing in Damascus. He returns to his homeland to find her, despite the risks, and calls on a former love (Tomei) to help him, as well as an embassy official (Jackson) who is helpful at first, but may have an agenda of his own.
"I'm excited and honored to be back with IFC Films and to bring my movie to audiences in the US," stated Ruba Nadda. "This is a project of I've been working on for the past 6 years and I'm so happy for the confidence that IFC Films has shown in it." IFC Films previously released Nadda's film Cairo Time, also starring Alexander Siddig, successfully to the U.S. Box Office in 2010.
"We're all very happy to be working with the wonderfully talented Ruba Nadda again on her follow-up to Cairo Time which was a great success for us," remarked Jonathan Sehring, President, Sundance Selects/IFC Films. "She has made a bold and exciting film with our friends Alexander Siddig and Marisa Tomei. It's great to be back in business with Daniel Iron, Christine Vachon and Kirk D'Amico."
The deal was negotiated by Myriad's Kirk D'Amico and The Gersh Agency, who were co-selling the film for the U.S., and Arianna Bocco, Senior Vice President, Acquisitions & Co-Production, for Sundance Selects/IFC Films. Myriad Pictures is handling the film internationally.

Picture: Christina Aguilera departs a friend's home shortly after the news of her split from her husband of five years hit the headlines Los Angeles,...
Christina Aguilera has returned to the stage for the first time since her split from husband Jordan Bratman, putting her heartache aside to perform at Justin Timberlake's charity concert in Las Vegas.
The Beautiful hitmaker filed for divorce from her longtime partner earlier this month (Oct10) and recently admitted she has been struggling to "get out of bed" since the painful break-up.
Aguilera shrugged off her personal problems on Saturday night (23Oct10) to join her childhood pal Timberlake at his benefit gig at the Planet Hollywood resort to help raise money for Shriners Hospitals for Children.
Timberlake introduced Aguilera to the stage, telling the crowd, "(Please welcome) no contest, the best vocalist of my generation," and she went on to perform hits including Ain't No Other Man and Fighter.
The night also saw performances from Sir Elton John, Selena Gomez, Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Timberlake himself.

Arguably the biggest coupe news for 2015 is the arrival of Ford's sixth-generation Mustang. An independent rear suspension is standard across all models and Ford is offering a turbocharged four-cylinder model for the first time since the SVO exited production in the mid-1980s.
What's New?
But it's hardly the only standout because Dodge is also selling its ludicrous 707-hp supercharged Hellcat V8 in the Challenger, leapfrogging Chrysler to the head of the American horsepower battle.
Cadillac will soon launch its new ATS-V powered by a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 that makes 435 hp and is available with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. The company hopes to compete with BMW's M3 and M4 siblings, which are already on the market if you have cash to burn.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Review
There's also the less expensive ATS Coupe powered by either a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Jaguar is cancelling its XK coupe and convertible for now, but there are already rumors of it making a return after being revised to avoid competing with the F-Type.
SEE ALSO: Jaguar F-Type R Coupe First Drive
The S-Class coupe arrived at dealers in late 2014 and offers extremely comfortable, yet impressively sporty transportation if you can afford the payments.
BMW has the new M4, which uses a twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine that offer 425 hp and what feels like relentless acceleration thanks to the fact that it has 406 lb-ft of torque at only 1,850 RPM.
What's coming?
Ford will release the new Shelby GT350 Mustang later this year with a 5.2-liter flat-plane crankshaft V8 capable of revving much higher than the 5.0-liter Coyote that powers the GT model. There is also a rumor circulating that there will be a hotter "R" variant as well.
SEE ALSO: 2015 Ford Mustang First Drive
Next year Chevrolet will also introduce its next Camaro based on the same Alpha platform that underpins the Cadillac ATS and CTS. Expect the new Camaro to come with six- and eight-cylinder engine options along with a turbocharged four-cylinder model to compete directly with the new Mustang.
Infiniti also has a new version of the Q60 coming that will be mechanically similar to its Q50 sedan sibling.

Product Information
- LeapReader Deluxe Activity Set Read & Write Series from LeapFrog
- Part of the LeapReader brand
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
What It Is
The Deluxe Activity Set Read & Write Series for the LeapReader is an innovative new reading and writing system that really does help kids learn both essential skills in fun, engaging, and age-appropriate ways. This system combines interactive stories about characters named Dot, Dash, Curlicue, and others with the basics of upstrokes, downstrokes, and relative size. If you have the LeapReader pen, sold separately, the first thing you'll need to do is download the content into the LeapReader through LeapFrog Connect. Then children first practice tracing, then following a dash line, then writing freehand. The LeapReader gives them feedback and encouragement on how they do. The tip of the LeapReader makes marks on the special paper, just like it was a pencil, so kids can see their writing. The front of the book has a picture of the correct tripod grip for use by left- and right-handed individuals.
Is It Fun?
Most parents know that handwriting is not being taught today at the level it was even a few years ago, and yet it's an important skill. Just like your teacher told you, when you write things down, you remember them better. So, that means that writing basics are critical for kids. While parents or caregivers may want to get involved and provide encouragement as kids learn, the system is actually self-contained and easy for kids to follow. We think they'll be proud of what they can achieve. For today's kids, this is a pedagogically sound writing curriculum that makes learning fun, interactive, and effective.
Who It's For
The LeapReader Deluxe Activity Set Read & Write Series is for ages 4–8.
What To Be Aware Of
In this review, we focus just on the writing part of the LeapReader. You can see our review of the basic LeapReader unit separately.

iPhone 6 clones appear way ahead of actual device
Of course, iPhone clones are almost a fact of life by now, no matter how much authorities try to crack down on them. That said, it is quite amusing, if not ridiculous, that an iPhone 6 clone would start getting distributed around the Chinese market, when the iPhone 6 itself is months away from being revealed. Talk about efficiency!

Notes on a practice: Looking inside
With Kobe Bryant out and Steve Nash hobbled, the Lakers have renewed their emphasis on the interior tandem of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol. The duo is finally generating some cohesion together now that they're finally healthy and no longer forced to settle for Bryant's table scraps. "It's a different ball club obviously," Tim Duncan […] [Read More]

The Lakers, on the other hand, have climbed out of the grave they dug for themselves during […] [Read More]
Spurs notebook: Ginobili's presence a bright spot in defeat
By Mike Monroe, Staff Writer It was hard for the Spurs to find much encouraging about Wednesday's 108-95 season-ending loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the AT&T Center, but the return of veteran guard Manu Ginobili was plenty enough. After missing nine games with a strained right hamstring sustained in the first quarter March 29 […] [Read More]
Timberwolves 108, Spurs 95: What, them worry?
Summing it up Wednesday's regular season finale was a pointless exercise with the Spurs already locked into the second seed. That said, cruising into the playoffs with three straight losses and 8 in 13 overall can't be good for morale. Or maybe it doesn't matter at all, especially not with Manu Ginobili returning to the […] [Read More]
Final: Timberwolves 108, Spurs 95
Wednesday's regular season finale was essentially meaningless with the Spurs (58-24) already locked into the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. That said, they'll enter with three consecutive losses, and eight in their past 13 — not exactly encouraging form, even if the Spurs did mail in the fourth quarter by sitting out […] [Read More]

Monday night at Golden State, they didn't have a choice. The screens at Oracle Arena perpetually gave updates of Phoenix's victory over Houston, a game that had […] [Read More]
Couching the race for Defensive Player of the Year

If given a vote, this would be mine: 1. Marc Gasol, Memphis Box score: 7.8 rebounds, 1.7 blocks per game Advanced: 19.0 def. rebound pct, 4.1 block […] [Read More]

Notes: The recipe was for strawberries and strawberry jam but I could only buy raspberries. I found the amount of ricotta too much, it made the cake a little heavy. Next time I'd cut the amount to 400 g and add more cream. Also, I used more cream. I used 150 ml for the rest of the ricotta, spread it on top of the cake, and beat another 150 ml for the side of the cake (being economic and using the 500ml cream :) I only had a 35x35 cm baking tray, so only made 5 stripes. It made a 22 cm cake.
