MONDAY, March 21 (HealthDay News) -- Stem cell transplants may hold some hope for patients with rapidly progressing multiple sclerosis, the authors of a long-term study report.
The controversial treatment, known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), involves ablating, or removing, the patients' immune and other blood cells, then replacing it with new bone marrow stem cells from the same patient.
The idea is to "reset the thermostat and start fresh," said Dr. Aaron Miller, chief medical officer for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and a professor of neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
But Miller, who was not involved in the study, doubts the procedure will become a viable option for patients with aggressive multiple sclerosis.
"This is a very heroic form of therapy for multiple sclerosis [MS], which is unlikely, in my view, ever to have a major impact on the field," added Miller. "It's a substantially risky therapy -- the mortality rates have been in the 2-3 percent range . . . and it's hugely expensive."
MS is a disease of the nervous system. There is no known cause or cure, and in severe cases patients may be unable to write, speak or walk.
This study, published in the March 22 issue of Neurology, was begun 15 years ago. Back then, "perhaps we didn't have other good alternatives for aggressive disease," he said. "I think we now have better and safer alternatives."
Those alternatives include the biologic therapies Tysabri (natalizumab) and Gilenya (fingolimod), approved in 2006 and 2010, respectively. But Miller emphasized these can only be considered "potentially" more effective than HSCT because the two have never been tested head-to-head.
The trial organizers reported earlier that 80 percent of patients receiving HSCT treatment had stabilized disease after five years. They also noted po

Waynesville Political Boss Resigns
The pastor/political boss resigned, but not before Baptist Press printed articles defending him and his actions. Dr. Mike has written a scathing response to the Baptist Press articles.
It is ironic that a moderate Baptist pastor is declaring discussions about the separation of church and state as "too political" for his church at the very same moment that the Southern Baptist Convention openly supports political electioneering at their churches.

Hello Dr. Prescott,
After viewing the newpaper photographs at the Asheville Citizen Times of the East Waynesville Church, I can't help but feel a true sorrow for all those involved. It is easy to see the pain and heartbreak on the faces of the people in those pictures. I had to pause and offer a prayer for them to God. I know this must be a horrible situation for all involved.
In a way, I even feel sorry for Pastor Chan Chandler. I certainly take no joy in his resignation. But my anger is really aroused by those who have been his counselors and mentors. These teachers and elders in the faith could have taken this pastor under their care and said, "We understand your political fervor, but the pulpit isn't the place to campaign." Instead, I believe that they caused even more damage by justifying and encouraging his actions. Consider Wayan Owens, Chandler's teacher at SBTS, who called Chandler's political activism in the pulpit, "standing for biblical morality and the teachings of his church." How is a young preacher supposed to interpret that? Exactly how Owens meant it. Hard line right wing politics = biblical morality and SBC teachings.
Then there's Norm Miller who blamed the long-time leadership of the East Waynesville Church for the problem, speculating that they "felt threatened" by the pastor's success in church growth rather than by his political electioneering.
I believe that these mentors and counselors should be held responsible for at least part of the damage that has happened in the lives of the people at East Waynesville. They are responsible also, I should say, for the continuing downgrade of such time-honored baptist practices as freedom of conscience and separation of church and state.
And I, along with many others, cringe when I read Tom Ogburn's statement on Ethics Daily, "It is also important to note that we have also not walked away from our commitment to historic Baptist principles, including religious freedom and the separation of church and state," when it is patently obvious to any reasonable person that that is exactly what they are doing.
With the attitude of the elders and leaders being such, what can we possibly expect from the next generation of pastors and teachers that these people are molding and training? If the downward trend continues unchecked, I suspect that the next generation of baptists may be considered nothing more than the chaplaincy arm of the political right.
I see that Dr. Mike is going to council Jesse Jackson, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Al Sharpton, Howard Dean, and company that the church is no place for them to stand in the pulpits before election also. That is right, isn't it dr. mike?
- Dr. Mike Kear said...
Hi Anon,
Unless I am mistaken, Jesse Jackson, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Al Sharpton, and Howard Dean never kicked long-time members out of their church for not voting the way they demanded.
- Poppy Wells said...
Pastor Chandler seems to be a personification of the slash-and-burn, take no prisoners version of religion being encouraged at the top levels of the SBC and other right-wingers masquerading as Bible-believing evangelicals. It is interesting that Pastor Chandler and I share a revulsion to abortion. Unlike him, though, I also have a revulsion to hunger, poverty, and other injustices. I cannot proclaim that abortion is the pre-eminent issue facing me as a Christian. I wish the pro-life proponents showed as much concern for the 30,000 children (I am assuming these statistics are correct) who die each day from malnutrition. There is so much out there for us to do. The cost of being anti-abortion is cheaper than the rest I mentioned.
dr.mike, I am not sure that all the details are being correctly portrayed here or in the mainstream media. My point that I wanted to make is that this site spends quite a bit of space talking about separation of church and state when it involves any talk of morals with political connections, done in the church by church people; yet do not seem to mind when politicians come into our churches and speak purely political from the pulpit. I do not think they should be welcomed either.
- Jim said...
I have a quick question- does anyone know if Mr Chandler has any serious, professional pastoral training? Did he attend College or Seminary? Does he have a degree of any sort which qualifies him to assume the pastoral office?
One of the most dreadful facts of Baptist life is that many, many churches call pastors who have no formal training. As a result, they get unqualified and underqualified leadership.
It's high time for Baptists to require their ordained clerics to have higher education. If that were the case, a lot of the meandering senselessness evidenced in the SBC could be avoided. Instead, however, we have a lot of blind pastors leading blind congregations right into the ditch of theological error.
- Alice Clay said...
Waylon Owens, a professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, wrote an op-ed to Baptist Press calling Chandler one of his students. The impression that I get is that Chandler is currently studying at the seminary. SEBTS is headed up by Danny Aiken, who was formerly dean of Theology at Southern Seminary...
- Jim said...
Thanks Alice,
I graduated with an MDiv from SEBTS back when Randall Lolley was the President- on the very cusp of the fundamentalist takeover- studying there for the ThM when Louis Drummond was in his first year. Those were dark days. So many excellent faculty members driven off by the right wing takeover. And the viciousness of their attack- it was astonishing.
That Chandler is a student there (he must be communting) makes perfect sense when one remembers the present faculty. Mark my words- he will win a faculty award if and when he graduates.
SEBTS-- where the ax head floats...
- Alice Clay said...
Jim, I attended Southern Seminary a few years back, after the takeover. I know Lolley's name because of a class I had to take on Baptist history. Needless to say, Lolley and the like were sufficiently demonized. The purpose of the class, as far as I could tell, was to indoctrinate new students against "backsliding"...
>I have a quick question- does anyone know if Mr Chandler has any serious, professional pastoral training?
Some of the most impacting men of God have been 'those guys' that have no formal education.
"I have got only one talent; I have no education, but I love the Lord Jesus Christ, and I want to do something for him: I want you to pray for me." - D.L. Moody
- fernando said...
i've blogged on this today and it seems to be getting a lot of attention. it is a sad thing indeed and i really hope it highlights for some people how far elements of the 'baptist' church have been dragged away from the historic principles.
- Jim said...
I would take 1 finely educated, compassionate pastor for every 500 self called, self "educated" dilettante whe enters a pulpit. Quality is more important than quantity.
After all, what do you, and Moody, make of the admonition of Timothy that pastors should "study... rightly dividing the word of truth"?
I have nothing against seminaries, don't get me wrong. But you and I both know it's God through the Holy Spirit that works the changes. Sure, more education can help someone's growth. However, you were implying that only through a proper education can one be a man of God. History proves otherwise. (Micah 6:8)
>Timothy that pastors should "study... rightly dividing the word of truth"?
Note that there are not methods or qualifications tacked onto that. Let's not get sucked into the oppressive world of legalism.
>Quality is more important than quantity
I certainly understand that as I see many pastors that are failing to ...
2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
- Jim said...
Roger, I like your quote from Timothy. It is quite appropriate. I would only add that one cannot properly do those things if one is untrained. Every major denomination in the United States and around the world requires their clergy to be educated. Except the SBC. And it is the SBC that is the focal point of so much dysfunction.
The greatest churchmen of history have been educated. Calvin, Luther, Zwingli, Barth, Brunner, Augustine, all were extraordinarily learned. Even Paul was one of the most educated men of his day.
The suggestion that the simple man led by the spirit can affect the Church as permanently as an educated one is historically inaccurate.
I have an essay forthcoming in the July issue of Expository Times on just this issue titled "The Bible in The Pew". I hope you will give it a read and then let me know what you think.

An Inspiring Letter From Designer Stephen Burrows!
A launch event like no other! To celebrate the release of Stephen Burrows Nisha™ Barbie® Doll, Stephen teamed up with Barbie® Collector and the award-winning High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI) in New York City for an exclusive doll signing and Q&A event. Here's a copy of the letter Stephen wrote to HSFI students in advance of the event!
Dear HSFI Students,
The High School of Fashion Industries is the perfect place to launch Nisha™, the third doll in my Barbie® Collector series. It's been a thrill to see my designs and vision come to life through Barbie® and I am delighted to share it with all of you.
Barbie is an icon and it was an exciting challenge to work with the design team on creating Pazette™, Alazne™ and Nisha. My overall inspiration was style, dancing and happiness. Each represents a different phase in my fashion designs yet they are all glamourous, confident girls.
My fashion career has been an amazing journey that started with school, a sketchbook and a dream. It's had so many highlights including being one of the first Americans to show in Paris, receiving a CFDA Award and collaborating with great partners such as Barbie.
My advice to you: work hard at school, listen to your teachers, be kind to your friends and follow your dreams.
Stephen Burrows
Coming soon: Photos from the exclusive event, plus Stephen's answers to the questions posed to him within an intimate group setting, from a select group of students invited to the event!
No events at the moment. Check back soon.

Today's Times reports on a new study showing that "the very character of the Northeast is at stake" if greenhouse gases aren't controlled, as we mentioned earlier. One issue: What are now considered once-a-century floods could within 90 years be hitting New York City every decade. Gothamist points us to a map from that study, showing what we can expect that decennial flood to look like. This map only shows the financial district, and we're thrilled about that. At least now we don't have to look at our West Village neighborhood engulfed.

Unfortunately, no. There is no way to create generic or shared Google Accounts for departments, groups, or any other organizations. Google only provides Drive, Calendar, and Mail space for personal ONID accounts currently; therefore, only people affiliated with the University can have Google space.
If you would like to share a document with a group, instructions on how to do so can be found here.
If you would like to transfer the ownership of a document, as you would need to do in the case of leaving OSU, information on how to do that can be found here.

As usual for the showcase, these builds are intended to spur discussion and perhaps inspire a few people in the spirit of the old CO boards. They come from members of my gaming group - me, Radical Taoist, DisposableHero_, Andarious, Sionnis, and Seishi - and I'll always identify who wrote the build at the start, so do not assume I'm the guy behind all of them (because I'm not!).
Unless otherwise noted, showcase builds use 28 point-buy, and have their snapshots evaluated using fractional base attack / saves (because it simplifies the math). None of them actually rely on fractional to be built, though. The format I use showcases their progression at key levels rather than just presenting the build and showing off a few tricks at level 20; most of these are capable of being played 1-20 if you so choose.
With that out of the way, let's get started. This week, one of RadicalTaoist's babies is up. He also helped quite a bit with this writeup, which should be clear when the writing style shifts.
A little man who wasn't there
Required Books: PHB2, Races of Stone, Lords of Madness, Complete Adventurer, Complete Mage, Tome of Battle, Spell Compendium, Magic Item Compendium.
Unearthed Arcana used: None!
Background: RT played a single-classed kenku beguiler in a game a while back, capitalizing on beguiler stealth and misdirection when combined with natural kenku psychology and mimicry. The Gnowhere Gnome (yes, the silent G does make it deadlier) is a natural revision of that build – the sneakiest bastard that you'll gnever find.
The Basics
- Race: Whisper Gnome. Everyone's favorite elusive little bugger, they're hard to beat in this area. If you don't have access to whisper gnomes, any race with decent stealth synergy (goblin, strongheart / ghostwise Halfling, kenku, etc) would be a passable substitute.
- Ability Scores: 6/16/12/16/10/10, after racial modifiers. Intelligence and Dexterity are both quite important; put your 4th and 8th level stat increases into Intelligence, and after that figure out what your gear is likely to provide and pump accordingly.
Skill Gnotes: It goes without saying that you're investing in Hide and Move Silently. Also max out the rest of the trapscout skills (Disable Device, Listen, Search, and Spot), as well as Concentration and Bluff. Plan yourself more as a scout than a caster on the skill front – you gneed 12 Spellcraft and a reasonable Concentration for your feats, but should be fine elsewhere. You should max out Use Magic Device, but not at first; you only need 12 ranks in Spellcraft, and by then your level-based stat increases should give you more skill points, so ignore UMD from levels 1-7 and then boost it more later on. If you can spare the skill points, look into some skill tricks in the mid-to-late levels; False Theurgy, Timely Misdirect, Group Fake-Out, and Swift Concentration come to mind.
Basic Equipment: Masterwork stealth gear (i.e. your gnome gninja outfit) is a good place to start. A light or heavy crossbow is a good fallback weapon to conserve early slots. You will need to have a melee threatened area later on; any basic weapon will work (dagger for style and preference, but a gauntlet works too – as does any magic staff or rod you're packing at that point).
Magical Gear Goals: Your mundane and caster gear selection is pretty straightforward. I like the Collar of Umbral Metamorphosis here (it gives you a set of particularly nice stealth abilities that combine well with beguiler illusions – the real sell his Hide in Plain Sight, though, and you can get that through one of your Advanced Learnings), and you can save yourself a feat at the late game with the MIC's Serpent Armor (preferably enhanced with Greater Shadow and Silent Moves). For reasons which will be discussed below, a Circlet of Persuasion is a better buy for you than for most beguilers. Similarly, you might want to pack a runestaff with Greater Dispel Magic on it – shockingly, it's not on the beguiler list, but it's highly desirable to have a dispeller who can't be located, and it gives you some help against Mind Blanks and True Seers.
The Build.
Build Stub: Beguiler 20.
1 – Beguiler – (Armored Mage, Trapfinding) (Darkstalker)
2 – Beguiler – (Cloaked Casting (DC +1), Surprise Casting)
3 – Beguiler – (Advanced Learning: Shock and Awe) (Improved Diversion)
4 – Beguiler –
5 – Beguiler – (Silent Spell)
6 – Beguiler – (Surprise Casting (move action)) (Mobile Spellcasting)
7 – Beguiler – (Advanced Learning: Phantasmal Strangler)
8 – Beguiler – (Cloaked Casting (Spell Penetration +2))
9 – Beguiler – (Rapid Metamagic)
10 – Beguiler – (Still Spell)
11 – Beguiler – (Advanced Learning: Nightmare Terrain)
12 – Beguiler – (Spectral Skirmisher)
13 – Beguiler
14 – Beguiler – (Cloaked Casting (DC +2))
15 – Beguiler – (Advanced Learning: Simulacrum) (Evasive Reflexes)
As a second point, Simulacrum can cause… problems if the DM isn't prepared. Not only can it produce decoys or body doubles (including duplicates of yourself – see everything up there with Project Image? Now double it and shave off a few levels from the double), it can also duplicate NPCs. Expect a clever player to be able to do great things with this spell.
16 – Beguiler –
17 – Beguiler
18 – Beguiler – (Combat Reflexes OR Extraordinary Concentration)
19 – Beguiler – (Advanced Learning: Shades)
20 – Beguiler – (Cloaked Casting (SR Breach))
Snapshot: Let's toss on the +6 items on Constitution, Dexterity, and Intelligence, and assume you pumped Intelligence all the way (i.e. all five pumps into Int, along with a +5 tome, as opposed to amping up Dexterity) – the long game version. We also discussed, above, that your 'ideal' armor is probably Serpent Armor (mechanically +1 leather) with Greater Shadow and Greater Silent Moves, and a Circlet of Persuasion. (While this does give the Gnowhere Gnome a bit more equipment than usual for snapshots, I group these particular on the "+skills" heading that I usually use when discussing skillmonkeys, although they are a touch pricier. No one blinked when we gave +Concentration items to Diamond Mind specialists - same thing here). This finishes off with 152 HP, +10 base attack (or ray +16), and saves of 10/12/12, with a spell save DC of 21+spell level (+2 if you catch 'em off-guard, which is, er, likely) – rather good for a baseline without further gear or buffs on a spellcaster, albiet slightly skimpy on straight-up HP. Skillwise you're looking at 228 total skill points and no changes in skill list from 1-20: this is plenty to max out Concentration, Hide, Move Silently, Bluff, Disable Device, Search, Spot, Listen, and Use Magic Device, with points left over to hit Spellcraft 12 (required for your feats). This approach leaves you with 9 skill points left, which you can use to pick up four skill tricks; our recommendation is Timely Misdirection, Clarity of Vision, Swift Concentration and any other one that seems useful to you (i.e. Listen to This).
Taking a step back, let's look at those skill bonuses. Adding in the gear above, synergy, and racial modifiers, you're looking at trapscout skills of +34/+34 and sense skills of +25/+25, along with a Bluff of +28 and a Use Magic Device of +30. Those are very good. But the real victor here? Stealth. Hide is +52, Move Silently is +48, and you've got the full suite of Beguiler misdirections (Project Image, Simulacrum, and assorted Invisibility tricks), plus Darkstalker (+Hide in Plain Sight from Nightmare Terrain or equipment), Shadow Striker + Evasive Reflexes (+Serpent Armor's Combat Reflexes), and Mobile Spellcasting (+Rapid Metamagic +Silent Spell + Still Spell).
Let me put it in perspective. On the left, you have your common ninja. On the right, you have the Gnowhere Gnome.
Fig. 1a: Ninja
Fig. 1b: Gnowhere Gnome
Any questions?
Overall Strengths: You're gnot exactly an easy guy to pin down. Able to hide from just about anything, including a direct target, and able to do so in the middle of combat in an open plain should you so desire, the Gnowhere Gnome is basically a paragon of what the beguiler can be. It's also simple enough to fly at any table – and with his skill list, he'd have no problem being welcome at many tables either. Stick him in your stealth/scout roles and watch him shine (…or, okay, gnot see him shine – let's be honest here); later on his magic grows to the point where he can even play at being a wizard, particularly with Shades or runestaff fun.
Overall Weaknesses: What do your opponents do when they fight someone who can't be pinned down? That's right, they nuke the site from orbit bring on the area effects. Your Reflex and Fortitude saves are your natural weak points as a result – they're all that stand between you and a very painful Fire Storm or Cloudkill. Look into Rings of Evasion, or the much cheaper (but less spammable) Diamond Mind rings linked to the appropriate counter, and don't be afraid to use that Moment of Prescience effect to stay alive. There's also the usual issues with beguilers in specific or illusionists/enchanters in general, gnamely, the host of things immune to your spells. You're better equipped than most to handle that (Use Magic Device), but this can get costly really quick. (Thankfully, you're Beguiler 20, so SR usually isn't a factor.)
Variants: As a Beguiler 20, the points of variation here largely fall on feats and Advanced Learning choices. Your feats largely fall in two categories (deceptive spellcasting and stealth/misdirection), and there's no direct synergy between them that depends on these particular sets of feats (they work well together, but they don't depend on each other), you can rotate them around as you see fit. The only potential problem is that with so (relatively) few degrees of freedom, the further you deviate, the more likely it is to run into another beguiler 20 build.
There you have it. I think, quite possibly, that the Gnowhere Gnome is the iconic Beguiler. Go ahead, tell us how you'd beat this.
…And gno apologies from us on the random silent G. It's required, ye'see.
Looking for feedback, and, as always, a vote!
Next up: Take your pick from [DH] Eat Sleep Gank, [RT] Edge of the Light, and - shock of shocks - [TS] Flip the Bird. (Yes, it's been too long since I contributed a build!). Depending on how on the ball we are this week, I'll try to get [AR] Uberflank up as well.
And re: the other forums: Due to circumstances both unforeseeable and predictable (read: we're all Canadian, and last week was our Thanksgiving holiday), our group didn't meet last week for game night, which means the final say is a bit delayed. Not forgotten, not procrastinated, just delayed. This really should be the last delay; you'll get an answer before the next build is showcased.

Their independence is blossoming and five-year-olds love exploring all kinds of amazing things. From building incredible structures to creating artistic masterpieces and everything in between, these toys will entertain and educate all at the same time!
By Susan Bishay, and Chris Welles Feder
Brain Quest is beloved by kids, trusted by parents, and used and recommended by teachers. It's the curriculum-based, fast-paced, question-and-answer game that challenges kids on the stuff they need to know, when they need to know it. It's the brand that says "It's fun to be smart!" And it delivers. For the fourth edition every deck is thoroughly revised and includes 20 percent new material. The content aligns with national and state standards and is overseen by the Brain Quest Advisory Board, a panel of award-winning educators, each a recent state teacher-of-the-year award winner or a recipient of the prestigious Milken Educator Award. The covers and cards have a refreshed design, giving Brain Quest a cooler, updated look.
Contains 60 cards.
This book focuses on helping children learn how to add numbers 1 and 2 to other numbers. This very basic mathematic skill cannot be acquired through repetition alone. By using this book, children will be able to understand, without difficulty, the concept of addition by repeatedly tracing and reciting numbers first and then gradually shifting to addition formulas that include the numbers 1 and 2.
Paperback workbook containing 80 pages.
The Force is strong with this series! Introducing a line of workbooks that marries the iconic popularity of Star Wars with the unique mix of editorial quality, fun presentation, and rigorous educational standards that Workman applied to the BRAIN QUEST Workbooks.
12 titles launch the series—three each for Pre-K through 2nd Grade (each sold separately)—and dig deep into core subjects, including numbers, ABCs, phonics, and reading readiness for younger grades, and math, reading, and writing for the older ones. The material, which aligns with national Common Core State Standards, is designed to reinforce essential concepts and lessons taught in schools. Any child, not just fans of Star Wars—but yes, those fans will be especially delighted (as will reluctant learners)—will love the "A" is for Anakin approach to phonics. Kids will practice learning numbers by counting and circling X-wing starfighters and clone troopers. Master place values by sorting groups of Wookiees. There are math problems—Yoda is holding 7 lightsabers. 5 of the lightsabers are blue. The rest are green. How many green lightsabers is he holding? And Language Arts—Circle the correct homophone in this sentence: Luke is a Jedi knight/night.
Featuring favorite characters like Luke Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and other creatures, monsters, Jedi, and Sith, the workbooks are filled with thousands of original illustrations drawing from all six Star Wars movies and the expanded Star Wars universe.
Learn well, you will.
Paperback workbook containing 96 pages.
This book will help your child become familiar with the alphabet and reading and writing simple words in preparation for kindergarten. The step-by-step exercises and fun activities will help your child enjoy preparing for his or her first official year of school.
Paperback workbook containing 64 pages.
Using Kumon's step-by-step approach, this workbook introduces children to the concept of telling time by concentrating on the hours first, and then incrementally introducing children to half- and quarter-hours. Learning to tell time this way will also help children improve their general understanding of numbers.
This Kumon workbook is the perfect aid to help children learn about consonants and vowels. If your child is able to recognize and write short rhyming words and phrases, then this book will build on that foundation. This is a fun and easy way to help your child learn to say and write words grouped by similar consonant and vowel combinations, such as grab the grape and ride the bike.
This book will help your child become familiar with the numbers 1-30 and shapes in preparation for kindergarten. With step-by-step exercises and fun activities, your child will have fun while getting a head start on his or her first official year of school.
Through a combination of tracing and recitation exercises, this book encourages children to practice writing the numbers from 1 to 9 repeatedly until it becomes second nature. While improving basic pencil-control abilities and learning the numerical order of numbers from 1 to 30, children are naturally exposed to the world of numbers.
Unlike conventional alphabet books, My First Book of UPPERCASE LETTERS does not start with the ABCs. The most prominent characteristic of this book is that it starts with easy-to-write letters and then proceeds to more difficult letters step by step, regardless of alphabetical order. Different strokes such as straight lines, diagonal lines and curves are introduced in an incremental manner so that children do not grow tired of studying letters. The North American popularity of this book proves the Kumon Method's "practice makes perfect" effectiveness.
This sequel to My First Book of UPPERCASE LETTERS encourages children to begin with lowercase letters that have simple strokes such as l, t, and i and gradually moves on to letters containing diagonal lines and curves. Through a series of connect-the-dots and tracing exercises, children become familiar with the shapes of letters naturally. Although this unique approach to the alphabet may seem roundabout, learning to write letters effortlessly will speed a child's recognition of the alphabet later.
Improving manual dexterity through activities such as paper cutting is beneficial in the development of the human brain. In this book, children gradually learn how to control scissors through step-by-step exercises that advance from easy shapes to more complex cutting patterns. Fine motor skills acquired through these fun cutting exercises help children learn to control pencils and crayons easily.
Young children love tracing mazes with a pencil. Mazes let children have fun while at the same time improving their judgment and pencil-control abilities, both of which are crucial elements in their future studies. The aim of this book is to improve children's reasoning and motor skills.
This book is for children who can read and write the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. Words that are familiar to children - such as bat, hat, and rat - are grouped by the vowel and consonant combination of the last two letters. By repeatedly saying and tracing words, children easily acquire solid abilities to say and write simple words.
The prefect preschool activity! Learn to write ABC's and numbers with ease! This spiral-bound pad contains adorable and brightly coloured illustrations and 19 wipe away pages make practicing writing numbers and letters lots of fun!

At this time, there is no known way to
Alzheimer's disease. But there are things that may make it less likely.
Adults who are physically active may be less likely than adults who aren't physically
active to get
Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia.2 Moderate activity is safe for most people, but it's always a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting an exercise
Older adults who stay
mentally active may be at lower risk for Alzheimer's
disease.3 Reading, playing cards and other games, working
crossword puzzles, and
even watching television or listening to the radio may help them avoid
symptoms of the disease. So can going out and remaining as socially active as possible. Although this "use it or lose it" approach hasn't been proved, no harm can come from regularly putting the brain to work.
People who eat more fruits and
vegetables, high-fiber foods, fish, and omega-3 rich oils (sometimes known as
the Mediterranean diet) and who eat less red meat and dairy may have some
protection against dementia.4, 5

BRAZOS COUNTY - Local Law Enforcement Officers are participating in the Special Olympics Tip-a-Cop fundraiser. This year Tip-a-Cop will be held at the Texas Roadhouse Restaurant at 1601 University Drive East in College Station. Officers from the Bryan Police Department, College Station Police Department, Brazos County Constables, Brazos County Sheriff's Department, Texas A&M University Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will assist the wait staff of the Texas Roadhouse for tips. Officers will refill drinks and assist the public in any way possible to collect tips, all of which will directly benefit the Special Olympics in our area.
Chiefs from each department will be door greeters and vehicles from each department will be in the parking lot on display.
Law Enforcement officers are keepers of the flame for the Special Olympics and raise money for the Special Olympics each year. Officers also participate in a Torch Run every year to the Special Olympics State games and volunteer time working security at games held here in the Brazos Valley.

According to federal stastics, New York had a poverty level of 14.9 percent in 2010. Dennis applauded the Assembly's effort to try to end poverty, but said hikes aren't the "end-all."
"We still won't be where we need to be," he said.
Denise Elijah, a Local 200 member and director of a bus company, sat next to Dennis, and spoke on her experiences. Elijah said she makes $12 an hour, which is too much for her to qualify for social services. She has children, and says she doesn't earn enough to provide a quality living environment for them.
Wright gave a heartfelt response, saying $8.50 isn't enough. He said the living wage in Central New York, without health insurance benefits, is about $13. Elijah shot back saying if the minimum wage increases, it'll hopefully push her wage up a bit.
Walter Dixie of the National Action Network summed up his feelings in his first sentence.
"I have to saw New York deserves a raise," he said. "No full-time worker should have to worry about what bills to have to pay. [The minimum wage] is not enough – rent, food, maintain a car. Just imagine trying to support a family on it, on $290 per week."
He said it's high time for a raise, and that if the wage rose with the rate of inflation since the 1960s, it would be $11 per hour today. In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act was enacted by Congress, which brought about the first minimum wage. It was supposed to ensure that low-wage workers earn enough to buy the bare necessities of life. It's been proven that since its inception, the minimum wage hasn't kept pace with inflation.
The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics said the value of the minimum wage peaked in 1968 at $1.50. If that wage had ben indexed to inflation, that number would be $10 today.

The 12F series of PIC microcontrollers are handy little 8-pin devices designed for small embedded applications that do not require too many I/O resources, and where small size is advantageous. These applications include a wide range of everyday products such as hair dryers, electric toothbrushes, rice cookers, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, and blenders. Despite their small size, the PIC12F series microcontrollers offer interesting features including wide operating voltage, internal programmable oscillator, 4 channels of 10-bit ADC, on-board EEPROM memory, on-chip voltage reference, multiple communication peripherals (UART, SPI, and I2C), PWM, and more. The following project board is designed for fast and easy development of standalone applications using PIC12F microcontrollers. It features an on-board regulated +5V power supply, header connectors to access I/O pins, an ICSP header for programming, a reset circuit, and a small prototyping area for placing additional components.

Researchers at TU Vienna have developed a special 'photografting' technique that allows molecules to be positioned in a 3D substrate to produce more versatile and accurate sensors for 'lab on a chip' devices. The researchers had previously explored new kinds of 3D printers, but 3D printing is not suitable for the envisaged applications because putting together materials from tiny components with different chemical properties is very complicated. Instead, they took the approach of starting with a three dimensional scaffold and attaching the desired molecules at exactly the right positions.
The process begins with a hydrogel with large pores through which molecules or even cells can migrate. Specifically selected molecules are introduced into the hydrogel mesh, and then certain points are blasted with a laser beam. This causes photochemical bonds to be broken where the focused laser beam is most intense, creating highly reactive intermediates that bond to the hydrogel in their vicinity very quickly. The precision depends on the laser's lens system; the researchers were able to obtain a resolution of 4 µm.
Various molecules can be used, depending on the application. 3D photografting is useful not only for bio-engineering, but also for other fields, such as photovoltaics or sensor technology. It allows precise positioning, in very small spaces, of molecules that bond to specific chemical substances and allow them to be detected in a 'lab on a chip'. [via]

The Public Lab is a collaborative community enabling people to explore and inspect their environment with DIY techniques. During the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill they provided aerial mapping devices using balloons and kites so citizens could obtain contamination data independent of information provided by BP and the US government.
Now the Lab has provided an online manual on how to construct your own visible light spectrometer. A spectrometer identifies materials by measuring their unique color absorption but those on the commercial market cost thousands of dollars. Using cheap off-the-shelf parts such as a VHS-box and a USB webcam the Lab has reduced the cost to $35. In addition they developed open source software to analyze the spectral data. [via]

Last month one of the unsung heroes of electronics has passed away. Hans Camenzind, father of one of the most famous integrated circuit of all times, the Signetics timer NE555, timed out at the age of 78. Being a gifted analog designer, Swiss-born Monsieur Camenzind is also credited to be the father of class-D amplifiers and he has introduced the concept of the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) in ICs. During his rather productive career he designed over 140 ICs, wrote several books and many articles and his name is attached to some twenty patents.
When a famous artists dies you will hear his or her greatest hits on every radio or see his or her best films on every TV channel. Therefore, in respect of one of the great electronics inventors of our century we will play here Hans Camenzind's most successful composition, NE555 in bipolar. [via]

Company FTDI released drivers form ARM processors compiled for Linux OS, enabling to Access FTDI USB devices thus expanding I/O ports in various applications with ARM processors.
Existing FTDI drivers for many processors architectures and various operating systems have extended with a new clone and further enlarged possibilities of an easy USB interface implementation with FTDI devices into various devices, including the popular Raspberry Pi. New D2xx drivers for Linux are compatible with all ARM processors supporting the V5 instruction set.
They are free to download at: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm.
ARM processors providing a high computing power while maintaining a small power consumption, are probably the most often choice for powerful data and multimedia application nowadays. That´s why, if you have an application with ARM processors, or you´re just developing it, you may appreciate also this possibility to add a USB interface into a target device simply.
FTDI USB devices understand even the Raspberry Pi – [Link]
Mifare and DESfire RFID modules from company Stronglink enable to use advanced RFID technologies while maintaining a very affordable price.
MIFARE ultralight, MIFARE 1k, MIFARE 4k and MIFARE DESfire are known technologies of RFID enabling to use various application, store various data and other functions. From this reason, they´re largely used in admission systems, loyalty programs, goods tracking and many other segments. From the security point of view, mainly the DESfire system with the DES/AES encryption excels. New 13,56 MHz Stronglink modules in our portfolio – SL025M, SL030, SL031, SL032, SL040 and SL040A enable to use these technologies and they are relatively easily applicable because of more reasons. Firstly, they are available in more versions with UART, I2C, RS232 as well as USB interface, they are certified (CE and RoHS) and the producer provides an above-standard development support.
Usage of modules is also simplified by their low power consumption and a relatively very low-profile construction with the height of only few mm. An important factor – the price, also says in favor of Stronglink modules, because they´re available for relatively very competitive prices. For the development support, there are also available source code examples for various microcontroller families. Further information will provide you the SL025M, SL030, SL031, SL032, SL040 and SL040A user manuals and AN100721, AN101203 and AN110221 application notes.

Organic foods are not nutritionally different from non-organic.
Omega3 enhanced eggs have nothing to do with the chicken's living condition and everything to do with its diet.
So if you care about all that animal rights crap, want to support local business, and/or are paranoid about antibiotics/pesticides then buy organic.
If you want to spend less on food that is nutritionally the same ****, then buy non-organic.

Hmm... I guess that makes sense... (including the whole eggs ****). But does this mean I should also start eating even when I'm not really that hungry? Cause regarding how much I normally eat, its on average like 1600-1900 calories sadly enough, and thats prolly why I haven't gotten much bigger all this time... So is it now a case of just force feeding myself?

That is, it's not because their feed is organic, nor is it because of the extra space they're granted.

Basketball Armageddon is here, and it now appears the NBA season is in jeopardy. ("Nuclear Winter" is the preferred term of art, but I'd rather invoke our recent local freeway experience in hopes that the disaster is overrated.)
My wife, who represents food service workers at Staples Center, is pretty bummed, but my son's fine, having moved on from Kobe to Anze Kopitar and Jonathan Quick (it's hockey, people; check it out).
For a timeline of how we got here, check out this.
The essence of the dispute is this. The NBA says it is losing money overall, but won't open its books. (Malcom Gladwell makes some useful points on a broad question here). No matter, because the players have agreed to reduce their cut of the pie by seven percent, more than the $300 million the league says it is losing.
The real issue, however, is evident here. The charts indicate that some teams are losing money, while others have a license to print it. Given that scenario, the league has two choices—reduce the player cut to allow the smallest markets to make money, or negotiate revenue-sharing deals among themselves to ensure everyone makes money.
Yesterday the players union opted to disclaim interest in representing the workers in the union, a move that allows them to file an anti-trust lawsuit. Economist Andrew Zimbalist explains the issue here, but really this is pretty straight-forward. By negotiating with a union, the league can set wages collectively, among other things, a practice that would not be available to, say, the various large retailers. Without a union, the cooperation between the competing teams is, at least theoretically, a violation of anti-trust laws.
League commissioner David Stern reacted to the news here, and if listening to him doesn't make you support the players, you should examine your critical faculties. He's as smug as they come, and it's a good reminder that the bosses tend to help organize the workers simply by being themselves.
There are numerous stories indicating the union's not been operating at peak effectiveness either, one example of which can be found here. This profile of union leader Billy Hunter says to me there may be some truth to the criticism. The history of union leaders in sports (here, here, and here) hasn't always been the best, but perhaps we can draw on better inspiration here and here (Hunter could find it by joining us here).
