Russia's chief investigator suggested today that militants from Russia's volatile south are to blame for the train blast north of Moscow that killed 27 people last week.
All 27 victims of Friday's train blast that derailed the high speed Nevsky Express north of Moscow have been found and identified, Russia's emergency services said today. Another 90 people were hospitalized in what officials labeled a terrorist attack.
Alexander Bastrykin said that the second explosion detonated by a cell phone on Saturday while investigators were on the scene suggests that the officials may have been the actual targets and that "such tactics are used by the terrorists in the North Caucasus."
The allegations came out in a preview of an interview to be published in the Rossiyskaya Gazeta on Wednesday.
Authorities are following new clues, saying today that they found a gray jacket with letters from a prison inmate in it near the scene of the explosion. On Monday they released a sketch of a male suspect as a stocky 50 to 55 year-old who was wearing a red wig.
Police also released a basic description of a second man suspected in the bombing, described as a tall dark-haired man in his 30s.
Authorities told state-run news agency RIA Novosti that they are also looking for a woman in a light-colored jacket driving a Lada car.
The police have located a house where they believe the suspects were based and found four sets of DNA, including a woman's, officials said.
The train blast explosion Friday night derailed the last three cars on the Nevsky Express, a high-speed train traveling to St. Petersburg from Moscow. The bomb consisted of up to 15 pounds of explosives and detonated under the second-to-last car.
A Neo-Nazi group claimed responsibility on Saturday, but an attack by ultra-nationalists has been downplayed by many Russian security experts because of their lack of resources and expertise. They say that careful planning and execution point to separatist militants from the country's volatile North Caucasus region.
"It was well-prepared, well-planned, the target was chosen very well," said Nikolai Petrov at Moscow's Carnegie Center. "It means it was done by some organized force and by good professionals."
The Nevsky Express is a popular train that ferries officials, executives and tourists between Russia's two biggest cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Two federal officials and six foreigners were among the dead.
"What is very important is the fact that [the attack] was directed against political elites, that's why this train was chosen," said Petrov. "It was designed to have a huge impact and attract a lot of attention."
Parallels have been drawn with the 2007 bombing of the Nevsky Express which failed to derail the train or kill anyone, though around 60 were injured. Andrei Soldatov, editor of the security website Agentura.ru, called Friday's attack an "improvement" on the methods used in 2007 and said it's possible that the same group of Islamic rebels was involved.
Two men from Chechyna's neighbor Ingushetia have been charged with the 2007 attack, though the man believed to have orchestrated it, Pavel Kosolapov, is still at large. It is unclear whether authorities suspect him of being behind Friday's bombing.

Fallin, Other Republican Governors Face Election TroublesSubmitted by dochoc on Mon, 07/28/2014 - 09:37
The fact that Gov. Mary Fallin's approval rating has significantly dropped and that she now finds herself in a competitive race in her reelection bid may well be part of a national growing dissatisfaction with the Republican Party on a state level.
A recent post on PoliticusUSA shows how Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, who has practically bankrupt our neighboring state through radical tax cuts, and Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal are also in highly competitive reelection races with challengers.
A Daily Kos post published in April also cited even more Republican governors facing reelection problems.
Fallin was mentioned in the PoliticusUSA post because her approval rating has dropped over the last year by approximately 20 percent, according to SoonerPoll. A recent Rasmussen poll also showed Fallin had only a slim 45 to 40 percent lead in her race against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joe Dorman, pictured right with Fallin. Until now the prevailing wisdom has been that Fallin would coast to victory.
So are voters simply growing tired of Republican-dominated state governments with their litany of ideological initiatives, such as tax cuts for the wealthy and pension cuts for state workers? Has the backlash against President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats in red states across the country, which began in the 2010, simply run its course?
It does appear likely that at least some of discontent with Fallin and other Republican governors can be associated with a general frustration among the electorate with one-party governance at the state level. Now that Obama is finishing his second term, he no longer serves as a catalyst for anger generated primarily by right-wing media outlets, such as Fox News. In essence he's old news while the disaster of complete GOP dominance in red states has left behind its ruins. Just look at the financial shape of Kansas, which under Republican dominance led by Brownback implemented steep tax cuts for its wealthiest citizens and slashed its budget in draconian ways. Kansas has become a national spectacle of failed GOP ideology and extremism.
Pundits have argued that Fallin's drop is due to her support of outgoing and controversial State Schools Superintendent Janet Barresi and her refusal to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. I agree that Fallin's support of Barresi, high-stakes testing and school privatization initiatives may have hurt her as well as her refusal to expand Medicaid under the generous terms set by the federal government. Fallin, of course, has recently tried to distance herself from Barresi, but she hasn't bended yet on Medicaid. I also believe Fallin's support for unnecessary tax cuts for the state's oil and gas industry, along with inadequate funding for education, has created dissatisfied voters.
I also think Republicans with their supermajorities in the Oklahoma House and Senate have simply not delivered the panacea they promised. The state still has budget problems, a host of social problems, such as lack of medical access, and mind-boggling incarceration rates. Earthquakes, which scientists argue are caused by the oil and gas industry, now strike the state on a regular basis and state leaders, including Fallin, have been slow to react. Republicans promised efficient government, but that just hasn't happened. They're too busy passing meaningless, ideological bills or bills that don't hold up to constitutional muster. Fallin, as the state's top Republican, is probably facing a general dissatisfaction among Republican and Democratic voters over the state's current direction.
In the end, if Dorman beats Fallin in the governor's race, it will represent a major change in the political climate here.
Fallin Campaign Deploys Anger Management TacticSubmitted by dochoc on Fri, 07/25/2014 - 12:10
I received a lot of supportive feedback about my last post in which I criticized Gov. Mary Fallin for trying to boost her reelection campaign by generating collective anger towards the refugee children now housed at Fort Sill in Lawton.
Fallin's campaign has started a petition drive that aims to force President Barack Obama to move the Central American children—most of whom are fleeing violence in countries such as Honduras and Nicaragua—from the federal facility in Oklahoma. The petition drive is superfluous. Its only purpose is to create anger among conservative Oklahoma voters and activate them to support Fallin, who has been sinking in the polls recently.
The children are part of a widely reported exodus of Central American young people seeking asylum and refuge in the U.S. They have been labeled "migrant" or "illegal aliens" by the media and right-wing here, but the reality is they're political refugees and victims of botched U.S. international and immigration policies.
The Oklahoma governor's message is clear and simple: We don't want these children in Oklahoma. As I wrote, this is a craven message and really tests the limits of Oklahoma voters. Do they really have that much hate inside themselves that they would allow children to suffer and even die and revel in it? Fallin's campaign is banking on it. It's also banking on the fact that voters won't look more deeply into the issue and note a policy enacted under former President George Bush has prevented the federal government from acting more quickly to resolve the issue. Blame Bush, not Obama.
Here are some more extended arguments about the issue:
(1) Both the Catholic Church and, more importantly for Oklahoma, some Southern Baptist Church leaders have come out in support of giving aid to the children and treating them humanely, but the local right-wing religious folks have been fairly silent on the issue. Fallin's campaign ploy really sets a new low in arousing "group hate" against a group of vulnerable children. It sets an unbelievable precedent in hatred and cravenness. The fact that Southern Baptist Church leaders here, in particular, aren't fully criticizing Fallin's lack of compassion shows how craven this religious denomination—rooted in racism—has become at the local level.
(2) To extend the argument further, I think about all the sanctimonious Oklahoma people who make mission trips to impoverished countries, preaching their gospel and undoubtedly furthering the anti-abortion cause among people. But now that these brown-skinned people are in their home state in the U.S., the home-grown "missionaries" turn their backs on them and become red in the face with anger and indignation. These people simply lack moral compunction. Their religious beliefs are twisted and sordid.
(3) What about American "exceptionalism," the right-wing canard? So our country is so exceptional that we're going to deport children back to countries in which they face death and misery and impoverishment?
(4) The cliché is that Oklahomans are so nice, but what type of craven people would support a politician who agitates essentially for the mistreatment of children? What type of people would get some type of visceral thrill by mistreating children? Let's be clear: Many, many Oklahomans are not "nice" at all in any traditional sense. They burn inside with hatred and spite. It's the state's shame, and the dirty little secret you won't find on any state tourist brochure.
(5) Let's also be clear about this: Fallin's campaign ploy is racist. If these children were white, would there even be a question about helping them? Fallin's attempt to agitate the hateful mob is rooted in the darker side of the American story, the racist story, the one coated over with euphemisms in our elementary-school textbooks.
Conservative politicians, of course, have a long history of whipping up anger among voters in order to get votes while deflecting attention way from issues that matter, such as income inequality. So there's nothing really new here, with the exception that these are young children who need our help. Fallin may well reverse her slide in the polls, but let it be noted at the very least that doing so at the expense of vulnerable children is an ugly way to do so.
Fallin Uses Refugee Children In Campaign PloySubmitted by dochoc on Wed, 07/23/2014 - 11:28
Gov. Mary Fallin's attempt to make a group of impoverished refugee children fodder for her reelection will surely test the limits of the Oklahoma electorate's cravenness and ignorance.
Fallin has been greeted with bad news recently when it comes to her reelection bid. First, SoonerPoll found that her approval rating has plummeted by approximately 20 points over the last year. Second, a Rasmussen poll shows she and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joe Dorman are locked in a tight election with Fallin leading Dorman by a slim 45 percent to 40 percent edge. Until now, political pundits have considered Fallin, a state Republican who has never lost an election, virtually invincible in her reelection bid.
Fallin's response to this bad news has appeared to be to distance herself from the draconian, high-stakes testing policies of outgoing and controversial state schools Superintendent Janet Barresi and to arouse conservative anger over the housing of some 1,100 Central American children at Fort Sill near Lawton. The children are part of an exodus of younger people trying to escape the violence of their countries, which include Honduras and Nicaragua.
The Fallin campaign has actually launched a petition drive to close the Oklahoma facility housing the children. The petition language appeal is couched in typical flaming rhetoric, such as "illegal alien minors," and it, of course, blames President Barack Obama for the situation when, if fact, a policy initiated by former President George Bush has exasperated the problem of deporting the children. This is also a political refugee issue, not an immigration issue, created by years of immoral Central American policy based on U.S. pseudo-colonization interests. Both Republicans and Democrats have shaped this policy, which is based on exploitation and greed.
So, in effect, Fallin is asking her supporters and potential supports to do two things: (1) Condemn a group of children who are merely trying to escape certain death, and (2) completely ignore the actual bipartisan facts of why the children are here and why they can't just be immediately deported back to their countries.
Fallin is appealing to the cravenness of Oklahomans to simply not care about the welfare of children in general and the ignorance of people to just randomly condemn Obama for what can be construed as much as a Republican problem as it is a Democratic problem.
Will it work? These Republican "group hate" appeals have certainly worked here in the past when it has come to immigration issues. The state's cheerleaders like to make a big deal out of how nice everyone is here, but the reality is the state is filled with people who are terribly prejudiced and have mistrust of "the other," which, in this case, is a group of poor children with brown skin.
Still, surely a majority of the state has grown past these racist ideas, especially in the last ten years or so. One wants to think this, of course, but racism is not quantifiable here. Fallin's campaign tact, as racist as it can publicly get, is probably as good as any indicator where the state currently stands when it comes to tolerance. If she starts to move up in the polls, look for more group hate appeals. It's clear, given this recent political move over the young refugees, Fallin plans to make her campaign as little about state issues as possible.

I have a (hopefully) simple question. Is it possible to use SSHD tunneling to securely access your Microsoft Exchange server using JavaMail when you are on a public network? I read about someone using SSHD tunneling to use airport wifi securely, can I do the same for my mail client?
Consider the following code fragment which currently allows me to log into my mail server (assuming correct username and password)
1 Properties props = System.getProperties();
2 props.setProperty("mail.imap.port", "993");
3 Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
4 Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
5 store.connect(host, name, pass);
My question is on line 2, is port 993 on my machine or the mail server? Can I simple SSHD to my office using port 8080 and substitute 8080 for 993, thus using the secure tunnel I set up?
Note: to my knowledge I'm not encrypting any network traffic, and even if it is naturally encrypted by way of "secure wireless" I would still like an additional layer of protection. Thanks for taking the time to read

Product description
They're hallmarks of childhood. The endless "why" questions. The desire to touch and taste everything. The curiosity and the observations. It can't be denied-children have an inherent desire to know. Teachers and parents can either encourage this natural inquisitiveness or squelch it. There is joy in the classroom when children learn-not to take a test, not to get a grade, not to compete with each other, and not to please their parents or their teachers-but because they want to know about the world around them! Both Christian educators and parents will find proven help in creating a positive learning atmosphere through methods pioneered by Charlotte Mason that show how to develop a child's natural love of learning. The professional educators, administrators, and Mason supporters contributing to this volume give useful applications that work in a variety of educational settings, from Christian schools to homeschools. A practical follow-up to Crossway's For the Children's Sake, this book follows a tradition of giving serious thought to what education is, so that children will be learning for life and for everlasting life.

David Beckham is a man of many talents. Not only is he one of the most famous names in sports, but he's also one heck of a model.

Environmental Disaster Worsens After Shipwreck at Nightingale Island
ABOARD PRINCE ALBERT II: If you had to pick one of the most unlikely places for a ship to run aground, it would be the Tristan da Cunha island group. Tristan da Cunha is known as the most remote populated island in the world, 1,500 miles from Cape Town, South Africa, a distant speck in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, far from any shipping lanes, which is to say, it's not on the way to anywhere. If you had to pick one of the worst places for a ship to run aground, it would be the Tristan da Cunha island group — especially Nightingale Island, which harbors one of the most spectacular and significant populations of sea birds in the world, including endangered species and birds not found anywhere else in the world, including the Northern Rockhopper Penguin. Neighboring Inaccessible Island is a World Heritage Site nine miles from Nightingale island. Read more →

Doughnuts look good and taste good but aren't always waist-line friendly. Show your love for this delicious treat by making Doughnut Beads from Candace Jedrowicz for your next jewelry project. Use polymer clay to sculpt each piece. Add microbreads to the top for sprinkles!
- One package each of yellow, white, chocolate, orange and pale pink polymer clay
- Wooden skewer
- Needle tool or toothpick
- Tissue blade to slice the clay
- Several colors of micro beads
- Glossy sealer
- Small paint brush
Bead Instructions:
- Begin making the dough color by mixing 3 parts yellow clay to 1 part white, 1 part chocolate and 1 part orange. Blend thoroughly with a pasta machine or knead the clay with your hands.
- Roll the dough color into a 1/2" log and cut 1/4" slices with the tissues blade and roll the slices into balls.
- Flatten the balls slightly.
- Make a hole in the middle with the wooden skewer. Wiggle the skewer around to smooth and open the hole perimeter. Repeat coming from the other side. It should look like a plain doughnut at this point.
- Using a pea size ball of pink clay (or any color you want) make the icing for the doughnut by flattening the ball as much as you can. Lay the icing on the doughnut.
- Using the skewer as you did in step 4, make a hole in the icing that conforms to the doughnut shape.
- Make a hole through the doughnut with the needle tool or tooth pick to make the doughnut into a bead. You may choose to make a hole in only one side to use as a charm. Going all the way through with holes on both sides will allow you to dangle something below the bead or connect it to another bead as in a bracelet. BAKE ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS ON THE CLAY WRAPPER.
- Prepare your sprinkle mix by combining all the colors of micro beads in small amounts.
- Paint the icing part of the doughnut with the glossy sealer.
- While the sealer is still wet, sprinkle the micro beads on the icing. If the sealer dries too quickly, you can add more and sprinkle more micro beads.
To make your bead into an earring or charm:
- Make a small hook in the end of a head pin. (This will help to insert in through the center of the bead.) Insert the hook end into the bead from the INSIDE to the outside.
- Pull the head pin through until the head stops it.
- Repeat with the second hole if you have one. (Remember, if you are making a charm, you will not have a second hole pierced through your doughnut.)
- Make a small loop in one head pin close to the bead. Wrap the wire tail around a couple of times and cut off the excess.
- Repeat with the second head pin if you have a second hole.

Full detailed profile on Abe Carver Played by James Reynolds on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
James Reynolds (NBC)
Birthday: August 10, 1950
Abe arrives at the Kiriakis mansion. He says due to lack of evidence, the DA has elected not to press charges. Victor's thrilled. Abe tells Brady to wake up before he goes and Victor says, "That man loves nothing more than to sermonize." Brady says Abe was right and John's coma is still his fault. Daniel arrives and says there's still hope for John. He tells them he's going to a conference in St. Louis.
Daniel goes to Brady at John's hospital bedside. Brady doesn't understand how he turned into someone who could do this to their own father. By the hub, a pale Theresa flashes to hitting John. Abe and Hope approach hoping she'll repeat her story. She yells that it's not a story. Abe says they lifted two sets of prints. Brady's and a partial of Victor's. Theresa snaps that it makes sense. Vic does live there. Abe says somebody wiped the poker clean. Theresa panics and babbles that the mansion has maids. They ask why she moved Brady and John. They must have been moved quite a distance for Brady to have hit John as hard as he was hit. Aiden arrives. Theresa hired him to protect her husband since Justin is in Dubai. Hope's taken aback. Brady walks up and says he doesn't need a lawyer. "I'm guilty." Theresa walks Aiden to the elevator and Brady asks her to leave him be for now. He tells the cops his memory's a blank. He doesn't see how it could be self-defense. They notice he's not wearing his wedding ring yet he married Theresa last night. Could she have been the reason for the argument? He just doesn't know. Daniel arrives and says John is in stable condition but has slipped deeper into a coma. They don't know if he'll ever wake up. His brain 'went into safe mode' to give it time to heal. Eve finds Theresa a mess in the community room. Theresa spills coffee. Eve says, "Don't get any coffee on your tacky dress." She asks what her sister has done now and spots the ring. Theresa asks her to keep the marriage quiet for now and throws Eve out of the room. Back by the hub, Brady goes to see John and Daniel's handing John's case to the staff for long-term care. He's swinging by the pub to eat. Eve eavesdrops and Maxine hopes Daniel goes home to sleep. He goes and Eve follows.
Aiden returns to the hospital and advances toward Hope. She flashes to their intimate dance. He's there to see more clients and they discuss how well the gala went. Theresa yells at Abe nearby and then takes Aiden aside. She says the cops are trying to put words into her mouth. She goes to John's room and flashes again to beating on him. Brady asks if she's lying about what happened. She denies it and hugs him. Brady says he needs an AA meeting. Things need to change. Outside, Hope and Abe comment on how jumpy Theresa is. Either she's telling the truth, lying, or she did it herself. They have to wait for Brady or John to fill in the blanks. Later, Hope and Aiden share an awkward moment, deciding not to meet alone anymore. Aiden goes and Hope flashes to almost kissing him. She gulps. At the hub, Maxine tells Jenn where Daniel is, in the hopes she'll follow.
At SPD, Rafe tells Abe they've enough to put EJ away for a long time. DiMera Enterprises has been subpoenaed by the state to provide financial records. Rafe's surprised to hear Sami and Kate are now running the show there. He almost falls out of his seat and decides to deliver the subpoena to Sami himself.
Brady, John, Abe, and Theresa arrive at the hospital. Theresa tells Abe this was self-defense but Abe is confused since she said she wasn't even in the room. Brady wakes up and asks what happened to his father. After hearing John's in surgery, Brady runs out to get an update. In the OR, Daniel learns John's got intracranial hemorrhaging. They begin surgery and John flatlines. Outside, a doctor tells Brady he'll find out how John's doing. Brady goes to Henderson for answers but Henderson only heard Theresa screaming. Theresa puts on an act. She says John came over, demanding to talk to him. She left the room and when she came back, Brady had hit John over the head with a poker. Brady's eyes widen. Daniel approaches and says John's not okay.
Adrienne, Will, Sonny and the baby arrive in the park. Abe and Theo show up as they prepare the picnic. Tad and Ben arrive and take the lads off to play softball. They get shirtless and swim. Ben wanders back to the picnic and introduces himself to Jenn. Tad continues wondering where the girl he was supposed to meet was, but he keeps getting her name wrong. He hangs out with Will and the kid. Paige arrives and fawns over the baby. Meanwhile, Abby and Ben slip away to sit alone. He's not surprised that EJ was up to something illegal. Amidst the trees, Jenn looks around for a pin that Theo lost. Daniel finds her and wishes her a happy Fourth of July. He wonders if she wants to talk. She tells him she needs him in her life. Maggie calls him to pick up Parker so he leaves. Later, Paige tells JJ that she's over the Theresa thing. They kiss. Finally, Tad's date arrives.
In the DiMera garden, Sami imagines EJ kissing Abigail. She faints and EJ catches her. When Sami comes around, Lucas asks if she faked the faint so she wouldn't have to marry EJ. Sami tells EJ how much this day means to her. Lucas mutters to Sonny that he thought Sami came to her senses for a minute there. Abe resumes and Sami says, "I do." Sami and EJ both have tears as Sami reads the vows she wrote and EJ speaks his vows from the heart. They exchange rings. Abe pronounces them husband and wife. After, Abigail tells Sami that she and EJ belong together. Sami hopes one day she can repay Abigail for all she's done. She pushes EJ to hug Abigail. Sami then tells Lucas nothing was going to stop her from marrying EJ. He muses she was never the fainting type. Sami thanks Abe and EJ thanks Lucas for coming. The kids holler their congratulations before Abe and Lucas take them away. Abigail tries to leave, but Sami says, "Nonsense. This party is one you'll remember forever." Sami manipulates EJ into dancing with Abigail. Will tells Sami she seems a little wired. EJ hands Abigail off to Ben. Sami tells EJ that Abigail looks happy. EJ feels bad that Sami didn't get her grand moment. Sami thinks that will come.
Outside the DiMera mansion, Abigail tells EJ after today, she never wants to see him again. Ben arrives and he and Abigail admire each other. Inside, EJ tells Stefano's portrait that whatever he is up to he won't get away with it. "I learned from the best." Abe and Theo arrive. Abigail enters the room with Ben. After Abigail exits, Theo asks Ben if he's Abigail's boyfriend. In a room, Sami vows she won't cry. She finds the vows she'd written previously and flashes to making love with EJ, and then to finding the photograph. Abigail appears. "Are you alright?" Sami composes herself and invites Abigail to read the vows. Abigail encourages her to read them. Sami muses, "And you'll read the poem, Abigail." Downstairs, Will and Sonny enter. EJ booms that now all they need is the bride. They head outside and Abigail follows Sami downstairs. "You look beautiful." Sami takes a deep breath and the wedding march begins. EJ nods and Johnny goes to walk Sami down the aisle. Abe begins, Will reads, and then Abigail reads a poem about love not being deceiving. Abe asks if there are any objections. No one speaks. Soon EJ is saying, "I do." When it's Sami's turn she pictures EJ kissing Abigail and doesn't speak.
Rafe meets Abe with police documents in the park. Abe mentions officiating for EJ and Sami's wedding. Rafe comments that it wasn't long ago that he officiated at his own vow renewal to Sami. Abe's sorry things didn't work out for Sami but he and Jordan make a nice couple.
At the hospital, Abe tells Marlena he's performing Sami and EJ's wedding ceremony tomorrow. Marlena didn't know they were getting married and wishes she could be happy for them.

Rob PetersWith a wealth of natural beauty, unrivalled mountain trails and sublime backdrops, it's not hard to understand why Mother City locals spend the majority of their time outdoors and on the go. The good news is that it's even better in winter with the cooler temperatures making it an awesome option for sport and fitness fanatics!
Make a difference on Mandela Day in Cape Town
Rob PetersMandela Day 2015 on July 18 marks what would-have been our beloved Tata Madiba's 97th birthday and it's the ideal opportunity to follow this great man's example by channelling your inner charitable spirit. Here are 10 ways you can get involved in the Mother City.
@lovecapetown twitter talksWe love hearing about Cape Town from those who are here, who have been here and want to be here. It is for this reason that we occasionally host a twitter chat and we want YOU to get involved! Here's how.
Theatre review: Mpinga MorningsMpinga Mornings is a one-person play told from the perspective of three Rhodesian-born (now Zimbabwe) characters – a farmer's wife, her daughter and their domestic worker. It spans the time from around the start of the Rhodesian Bush War to the land grabs and beyond and shows the different ways in which each character was affected by these events.

STEP is an acronym used for convenience and refers to "STriatal-Enriched tyrosine Phosphatase," a protein associated with the regulation of learning and memory. In mice with a condition similar to Alzheimer's disease, lowering the level of STEP reversed cognitive deficits. A current leader in work on STEP, Dr. Paul Lombroso at Yale School of Medicine, has stated that beta amyloid activates STEP, which in turn interferes with glutamatergic neurotransmission*, and that this effect may be an important contributor to impaired learning and memory in Alzheimer's disease. Increase levels of STEP may contribute to the problems seen in other diseases as well, such as schizophrenia and Fragile X syndrome. Current research is evaluating the treatment implications of findings relating STEP to cognitive impairment.
*Glutamatergic neurotransmission: nerve cells that communicate with one another using the glutamate molecule.
Your husband should be evaluated thoroughly by a behavioral neurologist or a neuropsychiatrist, if available, since they are familiar with the brain conditions that affect behavior, and more extensive testing should be done. An intelligent, highly educated individual may perform well on the simplified cognitive screening tests that are sometimes done in primary care settings, yielding a misleading impression that dementia is not present. On the other hand, dementia is not the only condition that can result in forgetfulness. Alzheimer's disease is the most common dementia, but not the only one, so if your husband does have dementia it is still valuable to refine the diagnosis in an effort to individualize his treatment. Finally, I'd advise that he stop driving right away pending further assessment. Although a significantly cognitively impaired individual may retain the capacity to drive safely under optimal conditions, something as routine as a child running in front of the car might result in confusion and impaired reaction, resulting in a tragic outcome.
Although I do not know the details of your wife's ophthalmologic problems, ocular accumulation of beta amyloid is well recognized. Glaucoma or cataracts may be early complications of this process. Beta amyloid accumulation occurs not only in Alzheimer's disease but also in Down's syndrome, another condition in which beta amyloid can accumulate (resulting in early-onset dementia). The possibility of detecting Alzheimer's disease at an earlier stage through ocular examination has been raised and you may wish to read more about it (see for example the review by Frost and colleagues in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2010, 22:1-16). They emphasize that the eye is connected by nerves to the brain and that the eye is a unique site for observing vasculature and neural tissue non-invasively. Whether your wife's condition is a forerunner to the development of Alzheimer's disease later in life is not clear, but she should certainly be followed by ophthalmologists who can help her avoid damage to her vision.
For more information concerning the technology to examine ocular beta amyloid, please read about the research of Dr. Lee Goldstein, which is funded by our organization.
Amino acids are simple molecules that serve as the building blocks of proteins. Since proteins are necessary for many biological processes, we need to have these amino acids available. Most can be produced within our own bodies, though some are obtained only through dietary means. A diet with adequate protein intake should not lead to amino acid deficiency in a healthy individual, and there is no solid evidence currently that extra supplementation with amino acids alone is helpful in preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease.
Amyloid beta is a protein, which means it's a string of amino acids linked through chemical bonds. The fibrils result when peptide strands bind together as a result of the molecular characteristics of the amino acids. Amyloid plaques are sheets of the fibrils bound together as a result of electrostatic and chemical bonding. The precise mechanism through which amyloid causes Alzheimer's disease (if indeed it does) remains unclear, but likely involves interference with synaptic transmission as well as instigation of neuron-killing local inflammatory reactions.
Although seizures are not thought to lead to Alzheimer's disease, there are a variety of ways in which seizures are associated with dementia. A seizure in progress interrupts the process of memory formation so that no new memories are made during the seizure and some memories from just before the seizure are not stored. Seizures can cause excessive excitement of brain cells resulting in a destructive effect that damages memory. Seizures that lead to hypoxia (a period of insufficient oxygen levels) or head injury can be even more damaging to the brain. Some of the medications that treat epilepsy produce sedation or forgetfulness in some patients. Furthermore, there are medical conditions (such as brain injury) that can result in both seizures and dementia. Finally, seizures can develop in people affected by Alzheimer's disease although this is not a common occurrence. You are young for the onset of Alzheimer's disease, so if you have experienced epilepsy and memory loss and been told that you have Alzheimer's disease, I hope you will make sure that a physician skilled in the diagnosis and management of dementia confirms this diagnosis.
Your concern is understandable, since it must have been exceedingly difficult to witness the illnesses of your grandmother and her sister, your aunt, and your mother. Indeed you and your sister are at greater risk than individuals without so many affected relatives. If the onset of your relatives' illness was early, the risk is greater. Still, it's very important to realize that many older adults with affected close relatives never develop Alzheimer's disease. The cognitive enhancing medications such as Aricept (donepezil) and others have not been shown to prevent the onset of the disease when used prior to symptom onset. In fact, there is nothing at this time that has definitively been shown to prevent Alzheimer's disease or other dementias; however, there is preliminary data to support the benefit of some interventions, such as physical activity and cardiovascular risk reduction. Please seek evaluation if symptoms of cognitive change are noticed by you or your sister.
Dr. Kristel Sleegers and colleagues at the Flanders Insititue for Biotechnology and elsewhere published in 2009 (Ann Neurol 65:603-9) their results on a blood test that uses levels of progranulin to distinguish individuals carrying specific gene mutations that result in certain types of frontotemporal dementia from individuals who were not carrying those genes. This was an important research finding but not one yet ready for clinical use for the following reasons:
This research nonetheless advanced our understanding of FTD by demonstrating functional deficiency of the serum protein progranulin in both clinically affected and unaffected individuals carrying genes known to be associated with individuals affected by or at risk for a certain class of FTD.

Kemah, Houston
9 Reviews
9 Reviews
The Kemah Boardwalk is located southeast of town in the small community of Kemah, on the shores of Clear Lake, an inlet of Galveston Bay. The boardwalk is essentially the workings of the huge Landry's Restaurants corporation. Most of the restaurants in the area are owed by Landry's, and the Boardwalk Inn Hotel is part of the company as well. There is quite a bit to do here, as it is sort of a waterfront carnival type atmosphere. There are many rides and games, such as a ferris wheel, a carousel, a small train, and various amusement games to play and win prizes. The boardwalk frequently has festivals throughout the year, including the popular "Christmas on the Boardwalk", when the entire area is decorated for the holidays, and there are many events and concerts put on. As I stated, there are many restaurants here as well, most of them are of the seafood variety. And you can take a tour of Galveston Bay in one of several boat tours available. The Kemah Boardwalk is an excellent place for families to go with the kids anytime of the year.
Kemah Boardwalk is about an hour from Houston (including traffic). It is a miniature version, however, so if you are expecting the works don't get that excited. However, for a day/night away from the city it's a great solution. There are rides for children (even a new roller coaster), fun restaurants, shopping, and all while listening to (and smelling) the gulf. Most of the restaurants have live music, too, on the weekends. Kemah also have a few hotels available if you want to make a weekend trip out of it!
I would definitely recommend it for a family trip!
I would also recommend looking at their calendar of events on the website while planning your trip to Houston because they often have celebrations (usually towards each holiday), concerts, and special occassions which you can have fun with. Most are centered towards kids but others focus on guys (Houston Texans, race car days, etc).
*When you first find your way there you will see some cheap parking prices. My advice would be to go directly to Kemah's parking. It is free and we have always been able to park there. Some people assume there aren't any paces and then end up paying $5-$10USD when they could have parked a whole lot closer and cheaper. Save that money for a pina colada! :)
Great family place. Live music outside on the weekends. They have carnival type games. Most famous for the best/freshest seafood restaurants near Houston (9 or more restaurants in one complex). There's an outdoor fountain that shoots up random water and kids love to play here in the summer. They have a little train that goes around the area and a ferris wheel. They also have lots of shopping here.
The Kemah Boardwalk on Galveston Bay has become one of the area's biggest attractions. Less than 40 minutes from south of downtown, the Boardwalk and surrounding aea have an entertaining mix of restaurants, shops, hotels and amusement rides. It's a great place to spend an afternoon or evening enjoying the waterfont sights and sounds, browsing in the shops, and satisfying your appetite for seafood.
Kemah is a small, charming waterfront community at the entrance to Clear Lake from Galveston Bay. It's very non-Houston and looks more like something you might find in the Mid-Atlantic. The most popular part of Kemah is the Kemah Boardwalk. Run by Landry's restaurants, the boardwalk has a relatively short, actual boardwalk, arcade games similar to what you would find at boardwalks in other parts of the country, restaurants, bars and a wooden roller coaster. It's a family destination but can be fun for singles as well.
Summer is the busiest period for Kemah. Once the weather turns cool, the roller coast and other attractions shut down, although most of the restaurants and the boardwalk remain open. The lack of crowds make the winter a relatively pleasant time to visit if you're anti-crowd like I am.
There is no swimming in this area. This part of the bay (mainly the water quality) is not conducive to swimming and the currents and boating activity make it a less than ideal place.
We stopped here for lunch. There was a good feeling. Everyone was having a great time. Parking was a little difficult, can't imagine what it would be like when it was crowded. We walked up the boardwalk, played an arcade game, won a stuffed animal, debated taking the speed boat trip, but debated too long and they were full. So we went to Joe's Crab Shack where we were well fed, and treated well. On the way back to the car I spotted a wood carved pelican or 10 and had to stop at the little store there. Lots of fun things to buy, but I managed to only buy the pelican which came home with me as my carry-on to join my bear, owl and turtle carved wood.
When my family first moved to Houston, we visited Kemah Boardwalk and loved it!! Therefore, before we moved back to Oklahoma, we decided to take one last trip down to Kemah for the day. It's located near NASA, which my husband used to work there! We ate great seafood, rode the amusement rides, and took a boat ride out on the Gulf of Mexico. I highly recommend you visit this place when in Houston!!!!
We went down to Kemah to see some boats that were the same manufacturer as ours. We have a CSY. The Clear Lake Recreational Area has the greatest concentration of boats of any region in Texas Construction of the Marina in the late '80s is often credited with the rebirth of Kemah, Texas.
Kemah is a boardwalk area surrounded by several small blocks of specialty boutiques. It's got a ferris wheel, arcade, and carousel for the kids, several good restaurants with views of the water, and lots of good shopping (esp if looking for special gifts). It's family-oriented, free to enter and a nice place to spend a day.

1876 Shield Nickel, PR67 Cameo1876 5C PR67 Cameo PCGS. Though the 1876 proof Shield nickel is not as famous as its successors, the proof-only 1877 and 1878 issues, the 1876 is elusive in its own way, and certainly far less accessible than its reported mintage of 1,150+ pieces would suggest. Gems and Premium Gems are challenging to locate, and PR67s, of which PCGS has certified only seven and none finer, are highly elusive.
Magnificent Eye Appeal
Magnificent Eye Appeal
The current PR67 Cameo displays pronounced contrast at all angles. A melange of soft gold, lavender, green, and crimson blushes both sides, and a solid strike imparts full definition to the design features. Close inspection reveals no mentionable marks or spots. These attributes combine to yield magnificent eye appeal, ensuring that this piece will secure a deserving home in a high-grade Shield nickel collection. Population: 5 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (12/12).(Registry values: N2998) (PCGS# 83830)

The best primer that I have ever used! The smell is so clean, using just a little makes your face feel smooth and ready for m/u application or just wear over your serum or alone for the day.Five star from me!

Would buy again
By ZeeZee
from Montreal
An amazing product, I wouldn't be able to put on any foundation without it.
Love it!
By Jewelz
from Toronto
I have tried every primer out there just about but keep going back to Smashbox make-up primer until I tried this. This is a very close second, keeps make-up on all day, makes skin soft and smooth and ready for make-up application.

Worth Buying!
By Dina
from Montreal, Quebec
This product is multi-tasking. It is a moisturizer and a primer. I am 54 and have combination skin and it is non-greasy. It smoothens out the skin so well before make-up application that if you forget to put it on before the application, you will definitely know it. You will like if not love this product. I recommend at least giving it a try.

Silky soft skin and great fragrance!
By Madre
from Kitchener
A great primer, works well to keep oil in check and the bonus is that it seems to fill in wrinkles! I love wearing the celebration foundation over top. The days I don't wear the primer are very obvious when I look at my skin. I will continue to order this product!

Love It!!!
By She
from Georgetown, PEI
I received this product in a kit, never used it at first because I already had a makup primer, that I used and really liked. Well I was pleasently surprised when I finally tried it, my face felt like it was drenched in silk, it was so soft and it made my skin feel wonderful. I have already orderd a second bottle to make sure I don't run out....
It cosmetics No 50 Serum Anti-Aging Prim
By Paulie
from Sussex Corner, N.B.
I got this in a kit and really love it, so much so that I have two on hand. I put it on under my foundation and it feels like silk and makes my foundation look great on my skin. I have dry sensitive skin and now it feels hydrated and smooth

By Jifer
from Ajax, Ontario
This came along with a kit. Frankly, I wasn't expecting much in the way of results because I figured it was an introductory product that IT was promoting and therefore not necessarily effective. However, this stuff is amazing! I usually put it on before my moisturizer in the mornings and wait a minute or two for it to be absorbed. It is indeed a good primer but it seems to keep my dry skin effectively hydrated all day. I've noticed (unexpectedly I might add) that the skin is no longer as dry when I go to remove my makeup at the end of the day. For someone over 50, with dry skin, Id' say it's great!

Like it
By LP
from Calgary
First purchase of this product from the line and was excite to see if it did what it said it would. Like it and how it makes my skin feel and happy with the results. I was disappointed with the container though - had a problem getting the lid off of the bottle - it broke and was defective. This caused wasted product and it is now a pain to use. Tried the eye dropper but it got clogged and wasted more product.

Sietiniezis Rock
This very impessive sandstone rock is located on the banks of river Gauja between Cesis and Valmiera. Unlikely to some other sandstone rocks of Latvia this is white and it's very large, too. When you will come to it, it will not seem that large, but then after one corner there is more sandstone and after one another there is more. This place is very hard to reach without a car. May be you can try taxi if you are rich enough or rent a bycicle from Cesis or Valmiera. If you are going by your own car then some 15 km before Valmiera turn to the right from the Riga-Valmiera road and further follow the signs to Sietiniezis. The next 7 km you will have to go by dirt road. There is another shorter, but not so good road – in case you will rent a bycicle and will go there from Cesis. That case you will need a good map, for example, a map of Cesu rajons (Cesis region) - but be sure there are signs for tourist attractions on this map.
The great place to ski and just have fun!!!
Not very far from Cesis is Zagarkalns skiing centre. It is a great place where to ski, snowboard or just have fun on Zagara Hill... People from all Latvia comes here. Don`t miss this place! At the top of the hill you can always get na hot tea and kebabs to warm you up you a little bit...
And after the all day fun on the Zagarkalns you can have some rest in Cirulishi nearby... There is a swimming pool, sauna, rest room with a Jakuzzi, massage, cosmetic saloon, gym and a nice cafe with a bar... Nice and really cheep in compearing with the capital.

Valmiera - center of Vidzeme region
Valmiera is the main town of Vidzeme region, located in North of Latvia and with a population of about 27 000 people. It is known for old castle ruins and St. Simon church, both from 13th century. There is also nice beer brewery, located in old palace.
Place was first time mentioned in 1323, in the end of 18th century it was badly damaged and now we see not so much of medieval city (it had also defensive walls surrounded).
Valmiera is about 32 kilometers from Cesis.
Big hell outcrop

Place is located in Liepa village, geological object is also secured by Gauja national park.
Big hell outcrop (Liepa village) is about 14 kilometers from Cesis.

"We wanted to make (the nanoparticle) very small, so the body's immune system won't recognize it," Sun explained. "That way, you let more particles interact with and attach to the tumor cell."
Nanoparticles are important in MRI detection because they enhance what scientists refer to as the "contrast" between the background, such as water molecules in the body, and a solid mass, such as a tumor.
The coating, while integral to the nanoparticles' attachment to the tumor cell, also is crucial to establishing the "signal-to-noise" ratio that a MRI uses. The thinner the coating, the stronger the emitted signal and vice versa. Sun's team outfitted their nanoparticles with a two-nanometer thick peptide coating 10 times thinner than the coating available in popular MRI contrast agents such as Feridex. Sun's nanoparticles are like having a 50,000-watt radio transmitter versus a 150-watt station; it's easier for the MRI to "hear" the stronger signal and to hone in on the signal's source.
Another important feature of the team's work is discovering that the RGD peptide coating binds almost seamlessly to the U87MG tumor cell. The team plans to test the particle's ability to bind with other tumor cells in further animal experiments.

text: Enjoyed teaching my pastel and oil workshop at the Gibson House. Susan and Marty are gracious helpful and provide wonderful breakfasts and lunches. Lovely, big clean rooms and a great area! I did not stay during my workshop because I live near, but my students liked the rooms they had and the ones I saw were really nice.
