This place has always been over priced but I sometimes splurged and ordered myself some good sushi and fish from here. My order tonight was just unappetizing. Miso black cod was dry and over cooked with a weird taste, veggies used to be great but totally cold and soggy tonight. Sushi was falling apart and fish had a not so fresh taste. Will NEVER order from here again. $40 for poor food just makes you feel dumb.

The sushi here's pretty good if maybe a bit Americanized (e.g. cuts slightly too large, too much avocado in the California roll etc). But overall a solid place.

I had the regular sashimi dinner and was happy with all the fish. Expertly cut, proper temperature, proper size, just plain good. It was a bit above Hasaki and much better than 90% of what's available in the East Village. The only similar local place with better sushi is Jewel Bako. You don't have to go for the special omakase to get great fish. Fresh wasabi is available at $9. Most places either don't have it or include it with the meal. I guess it helps Kanoyama reduce their food costs and menu prices but it means that for me the sashimi is not really $19 but $28. I was still happy with the value for 10 very good pieces. I liked the red miso soup although I prefer Hasaki's version. I went late on a weeknight and was seated promptly and given attentive service and not packed in tight with other diners. It gets hectic at the peak weekend hours like every good restaurant in the neighborhood so plan around it if it bothers you. I liked the space. Light levels are low. The room is well divided into smaller spaces by movable partitions.

I hate writing reviews. This is the first I have actually written. But I just had to on account of my takeout experience... $15 for a king crab roll! That is ACTUALLY a california roll. And DO NOT order the gomae ae. I should have stuck to my normal sushi takeout.

The oysters very fresh! Sashimi and sushi were outstanding!

Six of us went for my friends son's birthday and he ordered the large special platter of sushi. After waiting in line for 45 minutes to be seated we then had to wait a long time to order. The salad was great and the sake was warm and delicious. However when they served the edemame it wasn't even enough for one person, maybe about 16 pieces. They brought out one cooked order first the salmon teriyaki in which they give a small 1/2 piece of salmon steak. Then once he finished they then finally brought out 4 more of our dinners. Mind you they were only simple sushi rolls. An hour and 1/2 later the birthday boy had still not recieved his sushi. The quality was good but it was so small and expensive that there are to many good places in NY to go back here.

this place has the best fish, if you're able to deal with the wait staff. the servers can never seem to quite get it right. whether it's refilling your glass (even when you ask them to) or remembering to bring your food out, the service always leaves you wanting more. the food keeps you coming back though.

Seawolves open season at the Air Force Academy
The Seawolf Debate program opened its competitive season with a strong showing at the 51st annual United States Air Force Academy Classic in Colorado Springs on the September 28-29 weekend.
The tournament featured competition from over 30 universities, including some special guests from Europe. After six rounds of competition on topics as diverse as whether Iran should be included in discussions of how to address the crisis in Syria to whether Egypt would be better off with a secular authoritarian government or a democratically-elected government with theocratic ideals, all three Seawolf teams qualified to advance to the single-elimination phase of the tournament.
Matt Stinson (senior, History) and Sarah Elton (sophomore, International Studies) qualified for the Quarterfinal round before being knocked out. Matt Fox (senior, Economics) and Brittany Bennett (senior, Natural Sciences and Environment & Society) represented UAA progressed through the Quarterfinal round but were eliminated in the Semifinal round. Hannah Foreman (junior, Economics) and Matt Ostrander (junior, Economics and Political Science) breezed through the Quarterfinal and Semifinal round to represent Alaska in the Final against teams from Slovenia, Serbia and Vermont. The final had the Alaska team speaking against the motion "Journalists who cover people in distress have a moral obligation to act as good Samaritans." Though the Seawolf team argued that journalists are exempt from the moral codes that typically would govern laypersons helping another in crisis, the team from the University of Belgrade took top honors at the event.
Members of the Seawolf Debate program will host the Alaska Ethics Bowl on campus this weekend in cooperation with the Alaska Ethics Consortium and the Department of Philosophy. The team next competes at the Claremont Colleges in the National Debate Open tournament on October 11-13. Please contact Steve Johnson at 786-4391 for more information.

Henry Benson was the son of George Benson, a member of Prudence
Crandall's advisory committee for her
school. He was also the brother of
Helen Benson, whom William Lloyd Garrison
married in 1834. His letter to Garrison,
originally printed in
The Liberator and republished in the
anti-American Colonization Society
Fruits of Colonizationism!, provides important details to
the reaction of the townspeople of Canterbury
to Prudence Crandall's school. The fact
that many of the most outspoken opponents
to the school were members of the American
Colonization Society made the Crandall
case especially important to Garrison
and his allies, who hoped to paint the
Colonization Society as hopelessly implicated
in sustaining both Southern slavery
and Northern racism.

Like their GOP colleagues everywhere else, Vermont's highest-profile Republicans sought to distance themselves Tuesday from the now infamous comments of Missouri Congressman Todd Akin.
In a press release fired off to news outlets this afternoon, Republican candidate for governor Randy Brock condemned the remarks as "ignorant, offensive and insensitive."
"They are insulting to all of us, but particularly to women, victims of rape and their loved ones," Brock said of comments by the Missouri Senate candidate. "His hurtful comments have no place in civil political discourse today. Mr. Akin should put aside his personal political ambitions and step aside."
Lt. Gov. Phil Scott used his Facebook page to sound off.
"Much as I hate to draw even more attention to it, I do feel compelled to say, in response to Todd Akin's ignorant remark: how can you even put 'legitimate' and 'rape' in the same sentence?" Scott posted.
Vermont Democrats aren't wasting the controversy. In a press release sent out this morning, Vermont Democratic Party Chairman Jake Perkinson spotlighted a pro-life provision in the Republican platform up for approval this week at the party's national convention in Tampa, Fla.
The language – "(an) unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life that cannot be infringed" – isn't new, and has long been part of the GOP plank.
"After the continued anti-women rhetoric we've seen by the national GOP, I call on Vermont Republican delegates to disclose how they will vote on the 'human life amendment' and tell Vermonters whether or not they stand with women," Perkinson said. "We can ask our Vermont Republicans to condemn willful, misogynistic ignorance instead of stand with the deplorable commentary made by their national figureheads."
Both Brock – a delegate to the Tampa convention – and Scott long ago came out as pro-choice. Both support parental notification laws.

Fish Near Japan's Damaged Nuclear Plant Not Safe to Eat: "Finless" Porpoises Haven't Gotten the Memo
Japan's coastal waters are home to the cute "finless' porpoise (neophocaena phocaena sunameri), so named because in place of a dorsal fin it has instead a saddle patch of rough skin. These small porpoises tend to restrict themselves into discrete regions of shallow coastal areas, and unfortunately there is a group that lives in the […] [Read More]

MOOSIC — For five days, it has been sweltering, simmering and stifling.
After a long work week and of course a heat wave, people were cooling down at Damenti's Restaurant near Mountain Top.
The patio bar is cooled with a seven-ton refrigeration system.
"Everybody wants air conditioning this time of year. I mean, can you imagine when they didn't have it?" said Kevin McDonald, restaurant owner and chef.
At The Snack Shack in Wilkes-Barre Township, folks were enjoying a frosty treat Friday night.
Six-year-old Naomi Wharton of Kingston slurped her ice cream cone as she explained how she keeps cool.
"Going in the pool and staying in the house when it's cold and the weather. "
At Locust Lake State Park in Schuylkill County, many were camping during the heat wave, coping with muggy, buggy weather by taking occasional dips in the lake.
"Feels like you're in a sauna pretty much. A sweathouse,but it's not too bad if you stay in the shade," laughed Steve Behm of Lebanon.
Meteorologists predict the heat wave will end in the next day or two, and after this week, people said that is exactly what they want to hear.
"A cool off? That sounds good, sounds real good," said Roberta Wingler of Hunlock Creek as she fished in Locust Lake with her family Friday.

With the sweetest intention and her spirit like a fog comprised of holy water, she gently parrots to me, with an eager helpfulness, the same sentence she said numerous times before, "If you paint the Blessed Mary, things will turn around like you can't believe, Jenny."
An uncontrollable slight eye roll glazed over me coupled with a heavy sigh in response, which was not intended to be disrespectful, but rather was a reaction toward overwhelming situations personally and artistically. Do I believe in the Roman Catholicism I grew up with? I do, but I believe in my own way, and my thoughts about this holy themed proposed art piece are mixed.
The Blessed Mother I feel is currently working overtime, like an ethereal worldly girl Friday distributing blessings, messages, and miracles more than ever due to these troubled times. In my imagination, given where our world is at, I imagine that if I created such an art piece, (which would hopefully aide in an innovative artistic break through), she would, rightly so, turn on her heavenly auto responder which would read, "Away from my desk bringing light to the world. I'll listen to and respond to your prayers when I can. Ookkaaayyy peace be with you!"
Peace be with me indeed, but I can't say I would be too peaceful during the creation of such a piece for numerous reasons, but primarily because of the subject matter. If I painted something like a dog atrociously like a long legged horse with vampire teeth I wouldn't think twice about it. However, if I did a painting of the Blessed Mother that did not turn out well, I would be concerned that my depiction would be viewed as (unintentionally) sacrilegious.
If the painting came out terribly, I would also, in a cartoon world mindset, wait for lightening to strike me, for me to accidentally run over a cliff like the unsuccessful cartoon character Wile E. Coyote, or for a baby grand piano to crash down on me from a faulty pulley system.
If I do ever decide to scale the artistic Mount Kilimanjaro that is The Madonna, I at least can refer to this painting. This interpretation of Jesus embodies a hamster in combination with the Edvard Munch painting The Scream. Not only that, the artist painted over a masterpiece created by Spanish artist Elias Garcia Martinez.
I know it's frowned upon to laugh in church (I have a history of unwanted inappropriate church giggles) but I would love to see this in person someday. Beyond my best efforts, I would probably end up laughing like Snoopy did when he went to the library like this:
The 81-year-old artist who painted over the centuries old fresco has been greatly criticized for her work, but she also inadvertently brought more business to the Spanish town and more visitors to the church. As overused and dusty as this platitude is, "everything happens for a reason" could not apply more sweetly than to that story, and perhaps, I'm brought to this point in my life for a reason. Or perhaps the saying applies that, "One man's trash is another man's treasure?" Nah, all right, all right. I think I'll stop myself short for now…

One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't.

Steamed Vegetable Dumplings Braised Sea Bass Triple Vegetables: Green Beans, Eggplant, and Asparagus. Each of these dishes was expertly prepared with fresh wonderful fish and vegetables. A hot, spicy, and savory sauce heavy with fresh garlic freshly chopped into a variety of shapes and sizes, scallions and delicious chili peppers working magically to allow the fish and vegetables to have many flavors within each bite, and each bite also offering different flavors from the previous bite. The service was outstanding, the dishes coming with good timing, even on a busy night. The server assisted in deboning and serving the whole fish while making me feel that I could not have chosen any better restaurant. I will visit this restaurant every time I'm in NY. If you love spicy food, if you love garlic and seafood, and even if you prefer less spicy foods, you need to check this place out.

I think the appetizers are the best thing here. Order a bunch and make a meal of it. The spicy cucumber salad is out of this world. The spicy bamboo shoots also great, but prepare for your lips to go numb from the chillies. Word of warning. Don't order the smoked tofu with Asian celery unless you want to increase your blood pressure--there's enough salt in it to sustain a family of five for a couple of months.

Just ordered lunch delivery. Service: relatively quick. Food: out of this world. I ordered the lunch special L20 - stir fried chicken with spicy peanut. I've had a similar dish in MANY nyc Chinese joints and this was by far the best. Perfect amount of spicy, amazing amount of flavor. Reasonably priced, too. Totally, 100% recommend.

Had many great dishes when dining in recently, all amazingly prepared with no complaints. however when ordering take out beware. opening up your bag when getting back to your desk may yield a surprise. I ordered the crispy chicken with garlic sauce (usually comes with a good amout of sauce), and asked for it extra spicy. When i got back to my desk and opened up my order I saw that not only was the chicken not extra spicy, but dry with NO SAUCE! I called in to complain, and all the woman could say was "bring it back to me, i want to see". Yeah, like Im going to walk back just to show her. So, long story short, check your order when you get it before departing.

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Apollo Astronaut Neil Armstrong as he set foot on the surface of the moon on
July 20, 1969The first moon walk on July 20, 1969 was a magical moment. Technology was so new even television was a toddler. But that toddler brought us live pictures from the surface, a live picture of an exploration that changed the world and captured the imaginations of a generation.
The man who took that first step, Neil Armstrong, died Saturday, 43 years after that first walk.
The world marveled at his, and the other astronauts bravery, skill, intelligence and fearless exploration spirit.
At the time, computers were something for science fiction, space travel wasnt much more than a trip around the earth in a rocket and modern communications involved a telephone connected to an outlet in the wall.
After the moon walk, the world was filled with possibilities possibilities limited only by imaginations.
Armstrong was the leader, the pioneer.
As Aiken Standard Senior Staff Writer Rob Novitt so eloquently put it in a tribute to Armstrong in Sundays edition, As an explorer who left this planet and walked on the moon, Neil Armstrong is right there in our imaginations with Marco Polo, Columbus and Magellan - even more so as a uniquely American hero.
After the moon, walk Armstrong stepped back into private life and never flew in space again. He raised a family, went into business, taught and was involved in public life in Cincinnati.
This week, many are discussing memorials to him. His family made a request in a news release.
For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.

Rice Finds 'Purrfect' Angle To Recruit High School QB
By editor
Originally published on Tue May 20, 2014 5:46 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A recruiting letter was catnip to a high school football star in Texas. Quarterback J.T. Granato said yes to Rice University after getting a pitch in the mail. It was actually addressed not to J.T. but to his cat. A coach at Rice knew Granato loved his cat so he wrote to Kitty: I know you'd like to keep him close so he can feed you and change the litter box.
Please help us get him to choose us. Paw if you have any questions. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Albuquerque Police made some noise Monday, destroying some of the 20,000 rounds of ammunition they have collected by burning them. With each pop and ping of bullets and shells, police believe the streets are safer.
The tank police use to destroy the ammo looks like a Bar-B-Q. Marc Adams from APD's Crime Lab told us, "It was purchased especially to destroy ammo and the thick gauge of the iron does not allow the projectile to penetrate the walls of it."
Police also destroyed some of the 90 firearms turned in by citizens. They were crushed by a powerful shear.
You can still turn in weapons and ammunition to APD, no questions asked, for the next two Saturdays in January and then every other Saturday for the rest of 2013.

Obama confirms neuroscience is the coolest, most important technology on earth February 19, 2013 at 1:12 pm
Not to be outdone by the recent disclosure of the European brain project to simulate a mind, the Obama Administration will be seeking $300 million a year over the next decade for the new research in their budget proposal next month. The most visible author on the paper, George Church, has made quite a name for himself in the years since the Human genome project. He has now turned his attention to mapping the entire activity of a brain by printing DNA templates.

Tucson, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Anu Solomon tossed two of his four touchdown passes to Semajie Grant and No. 21 Arizona pulled away in the fourth quarter to defeat Colorado 38-20 on Saturday night.
Solomon was 21-of-38 for 211 yards and added 115 yards on the ground, while Grant recorded 83 yards on six catches for Arizona (7-2, 4-2 Pac-12), which had dropped two of its previous three games coming in.
"Every game you win now you kind of climb up the bowl ladder. Certainly we're in a spot, as are a couple of other teams in the Pac-12 South, that it's all going to be settled here in the next few weeks," Wildcats coach Rich Rodriguez said.
Nick Wilson posted 153 of the Wildcats' 288 rushing yards in the triumph.
Sefo Liufau completed 24-of-33 passes for 252 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for the Buffaloes (2-8, 0-7), who have lost six in a row. He left the game early in the fourth after taking a big hit following an interception.
"I don't know if it's a concussion or all the things right now, but it's something to do with his head," Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said.
The Buffaloes hung around and were within 24-20 heading into the fourth quarter, but a pair of Arizona touchdowns during the middle stages of the frame put the game away.
Devin Holiday intercepted Liufau on a 3rd-and-10 at Colorado's own 38 and returned the pick 16 yards to the Buffaloes' 31. Arizona found the end zone four plays later when Solomon fired a bullet to Grant running a post pattern for a 27-yard score with 9:50 left.
Following a Colorado three-and-out, Solomon hit Grant again for a touchdown, this time from 20 yards out on a 3rd-and-9 for a 38-20 advantage with 5:49 to go.
Earlier, Colorado found the end zone on its first play from scrimmage.
Shay Fields burned cornerback Cam Denson on a deep post and broke free down the middle of the field to haul in a perfectly thrown ball from Liufau for a 75-yard touchdown.
The Wildcats responded with a pair of touchdowns within a span of just under four minutes in between the first and second quarters.
Anthony Lopez strip-sacked Liufau from behind on a 3rd-and-11 and Tra'Mayne Bondurant scooped up the loose ball and raced the other way for a 22-yard score with 1:12 left in the first.
Another Arizona strip-sack on Colorado's next possession, this time by Jared Tevis, gave the Wildcats the ball at the Buffaloes' 31. Five plays later, Solomon found Tyrell Johnson in the right flat on a play-action bootleg for an 8-yard score to put Arizona in front.
The Buffaloes posted the next 10 points, including a touchdown on their ensuing sequence.
Phillip Lindsay's 36-yard run preceded Liufau's 7-yard TD catch from Nelson Spruce. Will Oliver's 19-yard field goal gave Colorado a 17-14 edge with 4:09 left in the half.
Solomon flipped a 1-yard score to David Richards in the waning seconds of the second quarter to give the Wildcats a 21-17 margin heading into the break.
Arizona's Casey Skowron and Oliver traded field goals of 37 and 33 yards, respectively, to start the third.
The Wildcats outgained the Buffaloes 499-353 ... Arizona was 7-of-17 on third
down, while Colorado finished 5-of-16 ... Fields caught five passes for 94

Shanahan tipped to take over at Plymouth Albion while McAtee departs
Posted: April 16, 2013|
James Shanahan has been tipped to be named as Plymouth Albion's new head coach today.
The Championship side have called a press conference for this afternoon. It is believed that, providing the formalities can be completed in time, the 36-year-old will be announced as outgoing head coach Nat Saumi's replacement at Brickfields.
Shanahan is at present the director of rugby at National League One side Old Albanian. He guided them to promotion last season.
Shanahan, who still plays, has also coached Cambridge to promotion. He is no stranger to the Westcountry, having played for Albion, Exeter and Cornish Pirates. The utility back has also featured for North Walsham, Bedford and Italian club Parma.
Shanahan refused to be drawn yesterday on whether he would be the new man in charged at Brickfields. However, he did confirm that he had been interviewed for the job. It is rumoured that St Albans-based Old Albanian have already started the process of looking for a replacement for him.
Shanahan is a friend of Albion fitness coach James Owen, and he teamed up at Cambridge alongside Ivybridge Community College director of rugby Bob Crooks, who has worked closely with Plymouth this season.
Rhodri McAtee, meanwhile, is the latest experienced player to confirm that he will be leaving Albion this summer.
The former Wales Sevens back, who has had ten years in the Championship with Worcester, Cornish Pirates and Albion, scoring nearly 350 points, has not been offered a new deal at Brickfields.
He joined the club last summer from the Pirates. "I would have liked to have stayed," said McAtee, who has scored six tries this term for Albion. "But I'm not an English qualified player, so I don't fit in with their plans.
"It is disappointing." he added. "I have not decided what I am going to do yet. Everything is a bit up in the air. It might be a case of getting a job, as I don't really want to move out of the area, but we'll have to wait and see."
After a slow start to his Albion career, McAtee has finished strongly. "I struggled a bit with injury at the start of the season," he added. "Then I got moved to full-back and I had never really played there before, but I'm just getting to grips with it now."
McAtee said goodbye to Brickfields last Saturday as Albion lost 25-10 to unbeaten league leaders Newcastle Falcons in their final home fixture this term. He joined fellow experienced players Keni Fisilau, Aaron Carpenter, Sam Hocking, Paul Bailey, Wayne Sprangle and head coach Nat Saumi in saying farewell to the Brickfields crowd.
Albion have missed out on a top-eight finish in the Championship this season, which was their target in recent weeks.

Grit Award
We are fans of A Healthier Durham, the campaign that the Durham County Department of Public Health launched in October to, as the name says, make us healthier.
You can log your exercise and see not just how you are doing, but how the community is doing in pursuing healthier lifestyles.
While a couple of hundred residents have signed up since the program's launch, that number is expected to balloon in February when Durham Public Schools joins the cause.
It's a wonderful way to encourage kids to appreciate the importance of eating well and exercising. There will be competitions, and kids can log how much water they are drinking and how many fruits and veggies they are eating. The school system has found, according to DPS wellness coordinator Kate Turner, students who are fit perform better in the classroom. They simply feel better, she told Herald-Sun reporter Keith Upchurch.
Because of this initiative, we'll be jogging over to DPS and the Department of Public Health to drop off this week's Grit Award. We're grateful to them for encouraging people of all ages to engage in being healthy.

Philip Rivers threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns, including a 56-yarder to Antonio Gates, and the San Diego Chargers rallied to beat the Dallas Cowboys 30-21 Sunday.
The Chargers (2-2) had blown late leads in their two losses this season. On Sunday, they scored the final 20 points to beat Dallas (2-2).
Rivers short-armed a pass over the middle to Gates, who slid behind linebacker Sean Lee to haul it in and score with 6:54 to go.
Lee had intercepted Rivers on a deflected pass and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown and a 21-10 lead late in the second quarter. Dallas didn't score again.
Tony Romo moved the Cowboys to the San Diego 7 and hit Terrance Williams, who fumbled at the 1. San Diego's Richard Marshall recovered in the end zone with 2:42 left.

Search string on Apple.com links to press release for iPhone 5, iPod Touch and Nano
Apple is just hours away from its product launch in San Francisco, but it may have already confirmed the iPhone 5 by name. A search carried out on Apple.com for 'iPhone 5' has resulted in a link (currently broken) to the new smartphone's press release.
The above image, first seen in a story published on 9t05 Mac, shows that a page exists for a device listed at Apple.com as the 'iPhone 5'. The site also says a similar search string has returned similar results for devices listed as a new iPod Touch and iPod Nano.
The iPhone 5 is easily one of this year's most hotly anticipated gadgets and its search string is currently trending heavily on search engines and social media sites worldwide. The iPhone 5 is rumoured to be larger and thinner than its predecessors, while featuring 4G connectivity allowing for speedier access to data and streaming media. It's expected to be unveiled at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 6pm local time.

[0001] This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/437,585, filed on Dec. 31, 2002, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] The present invention relates generally to planning the stimulation of hyper/hypometabolic cortical areas and, more particularly, to planning the magnetic stimulation, of hypermetabolic cortical areas, which are related to the manifestation of systemic tinnitus.
[0003] Magnetically stimulating cortical areas is above all known from so-called "brain mapping", in which brain functions are directly and indirectly mapped, in order to enable particular functional areas of the brain to be located.
[0004] A method is known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,738,625 for magnetically stimulating nerve cells. U.S. Pat. No. 5,644,234 describes a nuclear spin resonance (MR) method in which the intention is to determine the position of a micro-coil in an object. A method and a device for transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain are known from WO 98/06342, in which a roughly hemispherical magnetic core wound by coils is used to generate a stimulation signal. The device and method described are intended to localize the function of speech.
[0005] U.S. Pat. No. 6,394,969 describes tinnitus masking and a suppressing device for applying pulsed ultrasound. U.S. Pat. No. 6,366,813 describes a device and a method for intra-cranial stimulation to optimally examine neurological diseases. U.S. Pat. No. 6,402,678 describes a means and a method for treating migraines. U.S. Pat. No. 6,425,852 describes a device and a method for transcranial magnetic brain stimulation, to include treating depression and localizing and characterizing speech difficulties.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 6,258,032 describes a method for diagnosing and treating the symptoms of vasospasm. U.S. Pat. No. 6,132,361 describes transcranial brain stimulation. U.S. Pat. No. 5,769,778 describes magnetic, non-convulsive stimulation therapy. U.S. Pat. No. 5,061,234 describes a magnetic neural stimulator for neurophysiology.

DE 199 14 762 A1 describes an arrangement of coils for transcranial magnetic stimulation. DE 199 52 191 C1 describes a device for magnetically stimulating neurones and/or nerve fibers using a coil, and an application for means for cooling the coils.
[0007] One object of the present invention is to propose a method for planning the stimulation of hyper/hypometabolic cortical areas, in which it is ensured that the stimulation means is optimally positioned. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a planning method such as is suitable for stimulating, for example, magnetically stimulating, hypermetabolic cortical areas which are related to the manifestation of systemic tinnitus.
[0008] According to one aspect of the invention, the invention is directed to a method for planning the stimulation of hyper/hypometabolic cortical areas. Anatomical patient data can be determined using an imaging method and the position of the hyper/hypometabolic cortical areas in the patient's anatomy as well as the position of a stimulation means can be detected using a medical navigation system. The position of the hyper/hypometabolic cortical areas can be registered and/or referenced with respect to the position of the stimulation means and the optimal positioning for the stimulation means can be planned on the basis of the relative positional information.
[0009] Optimal planning can be provided by incorporating the medical navigation system into planning the stimulation of the hyper/hypometabolic cortical areas, ensuring that the desired cortical areas are stimulated with a high hitting accuracy. For the first time, this enables stimulation to be planned for cortical areas such as are related to the manifestation of systemic tinnitus.
[0010] In one embodiment, the method includes, while determining the anatomical patient data, determining functional anatomical data using functional image detection methods, such as functional magnetic resonance detection and/or positron emission tomography (PET). In addition, structural anatomical data, which can be positionally assigned in the navigation system, can be determined using conventional image detection methods, such as magnetic resonance detection and/or nuclear spin tomography. The functional anatomical data can then be navigationally registered and/or referenced with the structural anatomical data using a computer-assisted matching method, such as a graphical matching method, such that the functional anatomical data are available for navigation. Using such an embodiment variant, such functional anatomical data and structural anatomical data can be assigned, and integrated within the framework of planning, in order to ensure optimal navigation and tracking for a successful treatment.
[0011] In one embodiment, the navigation system used in conjunction with the invention can be one based on optically detecting arrangements of actively or passively emitting markers arranged on the patient, such as on the patient's head, and on the stimulation means. Instead of or in addition to this, a navigation system can be used, which is based on magnetically and/or inductively detecting positional means, such as coils and/or oscillating circuits, arranged on the patient's head, and on the stimulation means. In one embodiment, the stimulation means can include a cortical stimulation coil. However, other stimulation means can be included.
[0012] In one embodiment, the detected navigational data can be outputted together with the planning results, on an image output.
[0013] In another embodiment, the stimulation means or coil is calibrated within the framework of planning. Furthermore, a computer-assisted field distribution can be simulated for the stimulation means or coil within the framework of planning, with the aid of which the stimulation areas are determined.
[0014] The invention further relates to a program, which, when it is run on a computer or is loaded onto a computer, causes the computer to perform a method such as described above. In addition, the invention relates to a computer program storage medium comprising such a program.
[0015] These and further features of the present invention will be apparent with reference to the following description and drawings, wherein:
[0016]FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for planning stimulation of hyper/hypometabolic cortical areas in accordance with the invention.
[0017] With reference to FIG. 1, a method of planning for treating tinnitus using navigated, transcranial magnetic stimulation is provided. In the first phase, two parts of the process can proceed independently of each other and possibly in parallel. In a first part of the process, a stimulation coil is prepared, using which a magnetic field is generated which will stimulate the hyper/hypometabolic cortical areas during the treatment. To this end, the coil can be calibrated 100 and then the field distribution is simulated 110 (e.g., computer simulation). This field distribution can be very elaborately simulated 110, consistent with the way it will actually be in the area of the brain structure. It is to be appreciated that the magnetic field here is designed very much more complicated than in the field design without an "interfering" brain structure.
[0018] Once it is then known what the field distribution looks like, it can also be calculated 120 where the stimulation area proceeding from the coil will be relative to the position of the coil. In order to positionally track the coil, it is provided with navigation markings (optical, magnetic) and can, therefore, be tracked in a navigation system. Such navigation systems include those described in co-owned U.S. Pat. No. 6,351,659, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In this way, the previously simulated and/or calculated stimulation areas can also be tracked, whose positional relationship to the coil has been determined in advance as outlined above.
[0019] With continued reference to FIG. 1, separate from, and, optionally, in parallel with, the above process sequence 100, 110, 120, image detection can be performed on a tinnitus patient. In one embodiment, this image detection includes functional image detection 130, in which functional magnetic resonance detection or positron emission tomography and/or other suitable methods can be used to establish where the functional cortical areas, to be stimulated, are situated in the patient. In the present case, in which the primary and secondary auditory cortex are to be located, the patient can be, for example, exposed to sound stimuli, and, using functional image detection, it can be determined which area of the cortex responds. These functional images can be used to determine the area of hypermetabolic activities in the brain, which is related to the manifestation of systemic tinnitus.
[0020] Furthermore, and independently of the functional image detection 130, structural images of the patient are produced 140, for example, using nuclear spin tomography, CT or other suitable methods. Detecting these structural images 140 can be incorporated into a navigation system in a known way by using markers on the head of the patient, in such a way that the positions of the brain structure are available with respect to the markers, and, therefore, in the navigation system. In the next step, namely that of matching 150s, the structural images 140 generated are registered with respect to the functional images 130 in order to provide the spatial position of particular functional cortical areas. A graphical, computer-assisted matching method can be used here, which assigns the data of the anatomical areas determined, for example, by way of structural boundaries recognizable in the images.
[0021] After matching 150, an anatomical patient data set is accordingly obtained from this part of the process sequence, with or on which navigation is possible and which shows the functional areas. This image data set can then be used to navigate the prepared coil, thus enabling the optimal stimulation point to be planned and an image of the functional areas and the stimulation area to be shown on the anatomical images 160. In one embodiment employing a combined stimulation-neuronavigation system, the areas to be stimulated can be shown on an image display, for example, a screen, in order to treat the tinnitus. In addition, the navigation system is capable of detecting the spatial position of the coil and the head 170 and detecting and displaying the actual and planned position of maximum stimulation, in order to guide a physician carrying out the treatment to the correct stimulation area (the target area).
[0022] Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it is understood that the invention is not limited correspondingly in scope, but includes all changes, modifications and equivalents.

College Grad Sues School After Being Traumatized By Sex-Crazed Roommate
A former student at a Roman Catholic college has filed a lawsuit against the school, after ending up with a roommate who she says repeatedly made love with her boyfriend in their shared room. Lindsay Blankmeyer, 21, claims the college in Easton, Massachusetts didn't do enough to help her when she complained about her roommate Laura Sidla's overactive sex-life.
Lindsay Blankmeyer is suing Stonehill for $150,000. The Former roommate Laura 'had online and actual sex, feet from her bed in shared room'.
Blankmeyer suffered from depression and attention deficit disorder before she enrolled at Stonehill College, the lawsuit alleges, but was driven into a suicidal depression after school officials failed to offer her reasonable alternative accommodation.
Blankmeyer, now a marketing executive, according to her Linked in profile, said her roommate had sex with her boyfriend while she was trying to sleep just feet away and also participated in 'sexually inappropriate video chatting' while Blankmeyer was in the dorm room.
After trying unsuccessfully to persuade school officials to force her roommate to move out or to give her an acceptable private room, Blankmeyer ended up living at a hotel, the lawsuit said.
'Stonehill refused Lindsay's request for a single room and in the following weeks and months Lindsay fell into a dark and suicidal depression requiring her to take a leave of absence from school and undergo extensive psychiatric and medical treatment,' the lawsuit states.
Blankmeyer eventually completed her final semester of school at her home in New York and received a bachelor's of arts degree in Sept 2011. Her current Twitter profile says she is obsessed with all things Disney.
Blankmeyer enrolled as a freshman in 2007 but the lawsuit said problems began her senior year. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Boston earlier this week, seeks unspecified damages.
Stonehill spokeswoman Kristen Magda said the college responded 'swiftly and professionally' to Blackmeyer's complaints about her roommate, first trying to resolve the dispute through mediation with a residence director, then by giving Blankmeyer 'multiple options' for campus housing, including a private room.
In the lawsuit, Blankmeyer says the college offered her two options, one was moving to another dorm where she would live in a room that was previously used as a study lounge and was a 'small cubicle-like space.'
The other option was to move to a dorm with a reputation as a 'party dorm' to live with a girl Blankmeyer did not know.

50 firms supporting Girls. Girls. Girls! charity event in Grimsby
Posted: September 02, 2014|
SUPPORTING local traders while raising money for St Andrew's Hospice is the aim of a fabulous event taking place in Grimsby next month.
The first Girls. Girls. Girls! event, which took place last year, proved such a success that organisers have decided to make it an annual event – and donate the proceeds to charity.
Founder Kerry Last, of Holton-le-Clay, who owns Flirty Frox dress boutique, explained: "We have so many fabulous small, independent businesses locally that I wanted to put on the event to make people more aware of what is available right on their doorstep.
"So many people shop via the internet now that I feel it has taken the enjoyment out of shopping.
"Last year's event had a fantastic atmosphere and there really was a buzz around the venue, not just for the exhibitors but for everyone attending, too.
"So many people bumped into friends and it was lovely to see so many happy, smiling faces. I know that this year's event will be fantastic and help bring people together – something we should do more of."
Girls. Girls. Girls! will take place at the Humber Royal Hotel, in Littlecoates Road, Grimsby, on Sunday, October 26, from 10.30am to 4pm.
There will be 50 exhibitors, showcasing fashion, jewellery, gifts, hair, photographers, beauty, prom wear, photo booth, fashion accessories, crafting, sweets, chocolate, cards, handbags and much more.
There will also be a fashion show from Adore Couture, Flirty Frox, What Shall I Wear and Pretty Woman along with a fitness demonstration and mini taster treatments.
All the profits from the event will be donated to St Andrew's Hospice, which needs to raise £2.5 million to fund a new redevelopment as part of its Building On Care campaign.
Kerry added: "This is a charity that is extremely close to my heart and one that I have supported for many, many years, especially as they looked after my dad when he was so poorly, before he passed away.
"As well as raising more for such a good cause, the event is the ideal opportunity for local businesses to showcase their products, especially as Christmas will only be weeks away.
"It's not to be missed for all the ladies – and the gents – of Lincolnshire!"
Entry and parking on the day are free.

Brunswick School Board considers revising classroom visit rules
BRUNSWICK — The School Board is considering a new policy that would loosen classroom observations rules after some parents criticized a new administrative procedure that was enacted Nov. 13.
The formal policy, introduced at the board's meeting Wednesday night, maintains some of the guidelines from the November procedure, but it also adds an important exception.
"This proposed policy and its regulations are more flexible than the previously outlined requirements for classroom observation," board member Michelle Small said, "in that exceptions to the one-time-per-month visit for 60 minutes may be made under certain instances such as (a student's) evaluation, upcoming (Individualized Education Program) meeting, crisis intervention, etc."
Under the proposed policy, a school principal would use his discretion in assigning the exceptions. A principal would also have the ability to deny parent requests for observations if she determines it "would cause undue disruption in the educational process."
Parents, guardians or outside observers could then challenge the principal's decision with Superintendent of Schools Paul Perzanoski, who would have the final say.
The principal may also designate himself or someone else to accompany the parent during a visit "to accommodate follow-up discussion or clarify questions that may arise."
Small said the policy was recommended by the Policy and Planning Committee, which she chairs. Her board term ends when board member-elect Joy Prescott replaces her on Jan. 7.
At the committee's Dec. 3 meeting, Small addressed her concerns over the existing procedure, which she considered too rigid. The procedure was established by Perzanoski and explained in a letter sent to parents on Nov. 13.
The procedure, as it still stands now, limits parents to one formal classroom observation a month for no more than 60 minutes. Parents also must be accompanied by a staff member during each visit.
"While the district certainly wants to maintain cooperative and collaborative relationships with parents and community providers, we must preserve and maintain the smooth operations of our schools," Perzanoski said in the letter.
Perzanoski said later in December that procedures are different from policies in that administrators can decree procedures, while policies must be approved by the School Board.
Ginger Taylor, a co-founder of the Greater Brunswick Special Families group and the parent of an autistic student, is one of the parents critical of the policy.
"When I hear 'we want to limit parent access to a child,' to say my red flags go up is a monumental understatement," Taylor said after attending the last Policy Committee meeting. "When you have a child who has limited verbal ability, they're at risk because they cannot tell you if there is a problem."
The new policy must still be reviewed one more time by the board before it can be enacted.
Social time
In other business, School Board Chairman Jim Grant is hoping to make the board more available to the public as it nears decisions on the Master Facilities Plan and the 2013-2014 school budget.
Grant suggested the board hold a quarterly social event that starts an hour before full board meetings. He said the purpose of the social would be to better engage the community.
Board member Matt Corey said he favored the idea, because it could allow for more in-depth conversations with the public than the School Board's public comment mechanism allows.
Grant said the board will start the quarterly socials next year.
In a separate suggestion, Grant said he also would like to see board members wear lapel pins to indicate their elected positions when they attend other events. He said the board will look further into making that happen.

I purchased this jacket for my teenage daughter, to match the pants I got for her over Christmas. She absolutely loves it. Has worn it many times already and she tells me she gets many compliments. The feel is great and the fit it's perfect. She's about 5'3" and 130 lbs, so I purchased the medium size, which fits her perfectly. ... read more
I have always loved adidas Squadra shorts... but this year they seem much shorter than in previous years. The fabric quality is still very good and I love the adidas brand, but I had to return these and find an alternative product (adidas Youth XL fits similarly to adult small and the Youth XL shorts are long enough) ... read more
I am a believer! I've been running on the regular Glide Boosts for about a year now, but decided to train for a marathon (in Chicago!) this winter, so I knew I needed something that would keep me warm during the cold weather. I came across these and knew I had to have them. I wore these today on a 4 mile run through 2-4 inches of untouched snow, air temp 10 degrees, windchill below 0, and they kept my feet completely dry and toasty warm. I wore them with a pair of thin wool socks and they were perfect. I heartily recommend these to anyone crazy enough to brave the elements and run in the cold midwestern (or anywhere) winters! ... read more
Love this classic Adidas jacket - grew up wear them to basketball practice and STILL love the fit and construction. I like my jackets a little roomy so I can wear a little something underneath - so at 5'4" 130lbs a medium is my fit choice. I like that the jacket and pants are not a total match - complementary but not matchy-matchy. The fabric is top notch - pant and jacket will last for years - mine are a testament to that. No color fade, no shrinkage. I have several .. in all colors... mix and match. Can't beat them! I prefer this to the yoga look... don't need to look like I'm running around in long johns, thank you very much. ... read more
I cannot imagina how anyone could exist WITHOUT these Adidas jackets. I wear them all the time. So far I have just four of them, two black, one white and one yellow, but they won't be the last, and I am eighty three years old! ... read more
I have always loved wearing adidas gear including shoes, but I expected these shorts to be a little longer in length. According to the description, they were what I was looking for. I'm a 53 year women who loves working out at the gym, the last thing I want to worry about is my shorts riding up. Now a days a lot of the gear that's being made is made for 20-30 year olds. I just wanted comfortable work out clothes. I'll still wear them though but I'll be careful. ... read more
I'm a huge fan of adidas and it took me a while to change from the mega bounce and micro bounce to the spring blade. I made the switch and my 1st pair the neon green ( tennis ball color) pair and one of the blade broke at the ball of my shoe. No problem adidas replaced it. I got the 2nd pair in solar pink and it broke in the same place on both...no problem adidas exchanged again . They were very helpful and said the shoe was redesigned and the sole will not break. They were right and the shoes are very comfy and draws a lot of attention with the amazing color combo. I recommend them for running and long term standing 8+ hours. Oh yeah go down a half size because the shoes are a little long. ... read more
I ordered these bad boys simply because they looked cool. Well to my surprise they are very comfy. I would say they run just a hair larger then expected and a little on the narrow side. But in all fairness I don't have slender feet. They can be a little slippery on a damp day. But over all they are well made and will provide good support. Lastly the cost is a bit much. I did wait for a sale. ... read more
I think these shoes are amazingly comfortable, light weight, and flexible. Loved the colors and the material. If I didn't know better, I would have kept them... But over the years, I have realized that I really need better arch support for long days on my feet, or for high impact workouts. I have chosen to return these ONLY because of my dumb high arches. I decided to purchase a second pair of the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 shoes instead. They feels amazing on my arches, and I seriously feel like I jump higher in them! LOL ... read more
I have larger thighs so if I buy average shorts, they tend to ride up and look like underwear. These are roomy and long enough that if they ride up, they still look presentable. I can even run in them, something I can't do in most shorts. However, I have a pair of Tiros and those are way too long for me because I'm only 5' 3". If you're on the tall side and want long shorts I recommend those instead. ... read more
I was so excited to find trico fabric and not a knit that hugs every curve. I ordered the three stripe pants in 2 colors. I love them both and looking forward to wearing them as I get back into shaoe. I tried on a pair of my sister's while visiting in Illinois so I knew they would fit. I looked locally but could not find except in the skinny leg. So I went on line to adidas.com and read the reviews. I should have ordered the matching jacket in XL after reading reviews but didn't so I am returning the large and waiting for the XL. I am confident I will like it. Thanks Adidas Could be a tiny bit looser in the hip area. ... read more
The shorts themselves are FANTASTIC! However, I ordered them in white and they are COMPLETELY see through. I have tried wearing nude panties, but my skin still shows through. I have also tried to wear spanks or other shapers in nude, but even a sheer pattern is visible. I would recommend the shorts, but just not in the white. ... read more
I bought a size 4 in these trainers, I'm usually a UK size 3 but size up for Adidas trainers and these fit like a dream. The sole is incredibly comfortable to run in and absorbs shock really well. There are air holes in the bottom of the sole allowing air to circulate and keep your feet cool. The shoe itself is very flexible too. I find myself wearing these even when I'm not running because the pattern is so nice! ... read more
I'm 5'11 but only 124 lbs, I prefer small for bottoms and usually my shorts ride low because of my weight but these ride up a lot. I had to buy compression shorts for these so I wouldn't show anything unnecessary. I wear these for running, volleyball and basketball, so 3-4 days a week for multiple hours. They're soft and they never get heavy from the sweat my legs produce. They stay nice and cool as well, plus they hold up really well after a wash, their color is still as good as new. Besides the fact that they ride up (not as in the crotch giving you a wedgy, but the waistline just likes to rise), I would recommend these shorts. The blue and black shorts are good colors, probably going to get the green ones next as it's my school color. I tried to upload some pictures so you could see the color and fit of the small on my body frame, but the pictures are kind of blurry. ... read more
Purschased these for my wife to wear to work out with. She prefers a longer short than what is offered with most woman's running shorts. These 5" short fit the bill perfectly! They offer great range of motion, and are very light weight and breathable! ... read more

Scunthorpe Telegraph food & drink: The Shires between Hibaldstow & Kirton Lindsey
Posted: April 28, 2014|
A CHILLED beverage and some home-cooked food at a friendly village pub was on the cards on a sunny Friday evening when my friend and I decided to try out The Shires in Gainsthorpe.
The pub has recently been taken over by a new owner and judging by the packed car park they were off to a successful start but we were here to see if their menu of home-cooked dishes was part of the reason for their success.
After being served our drinks and shown to our table we were able to browse the extensive menus of starters and mains, which featured everything from pate and deep fried Brie to start and homemade fish pie and dishes such as gammon and steak from the grill for the main.
I decided to try the Brie and my dining partner opted for the prawn cocktail and even though the restaurant was pleasantly busy we didn't have to wait long before our first course arrived. Both dishes were a generous size and looked as good as the other. My soft and gooey Brie was encased in crispy breadcrumbs and served with a fresh salad and tangy cranberry sauce and it was absolutely delicious. My friend's prawn cocktail was equally as impressive, with a large portion of fresh prawns served on a crisp salad with lots of tomato and cucumber and smothered in a tangy Marie Rose sauce, another successful starter.

Noticing our two empty plates, the friendly waitress returned to clear our starters away before returning after a brief wait with our main, surf 'n' turf for myself and the homemade steak pie with chips and vegetables for my friend.
My plate was piled high with pieces of scampi, a succulent sirloin steak, homemade chips, battered onion rings and a grilled tomato and just like the starter it failed to disappoint. I asked for my steak to be cooked medium and the chef got it spot on, with the meat tasting spongy and soft and full of taste. The crispy scampi was flavoursome and the perfect accompaniment to the steak and the dish as a whole was bursting with taste.
As much as I enjoyed my main course, I couldn't help but be envious of my friend's steak pie. Served in a deep dish, it was full of chunks of steak and thick gravy with a fluffy pastry lid and my friend said it was one of the best steak pies she had ever been served. I was impressed with the variety of vegetables that accompanied the pie and I was more than happy to help out with the generous helpings of creamed leeks topped with cheese, carrots, broccoli and sweed which all tasted fresh.
Both of us were defeated by the generous helpings with the main dish, especially after our large starters, but we both thoroughly enjoyed each course. When the waitress returned and offered us a desert we had to politely decline as we were fit to bursting but very satisfied.
We went to The Shires looking for some home-cooked pub grub and we weren't disappointed. With friendly staff, a traditional and comfortable setting and tasty dishes, the new owners clearly have the recipe for success.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
Explains Watt: "Every form of music has its peaks, doesn't it? They have those moments that you latch onto. In pop music, we call them hooks. They're the choruses that happen every 40 seconds. In dance music, you look for those wonderful breakdowns and the resurgent builds back into the bass lines. Those are the hooks of dance music, and when they're executed properly in the hands of great producers, with great fat beats and wonderful production and perhaps a great vocal or musical hook, you think, 'Wow, that's dance music at its greatest.' And I think dance music has its own hooks. I don't miss pop hooks at all."
On both Lazy Dog and Lazy Dog, Vol. 2 -- and, presumably, when they perform at Velvet -- Watt and Hannan prefer house music tempered with the female voice. Theirs is a smooth, jazzy sound with a load of acoustic instrumental flourishes, breakdowns and solos; the four-on-the-floor booms remain consistent throughout the two-and-a-half-hour mix, and the line between what's sampled and what's recorded live is often blurred. In a microcosm of Watt's career, his inspiration in track selection is derived from a lifetime of musical obsessions. The sound is far from cutting-edge, and those who prefer their house music more complex or booming may be disappointed with the track selection. This is smooth, inspired dance music, designed not for armchair contemplation but for maximum dance-floor penetration.
With Everything But the Girl on hiatus while Thorn devotes her time to her and Watt's three children, Watt has found himself without the steady musical mission he's known for close to 20 years, a dilemma he's solved by remixing and producing tracks (he's producing and mixing Beth Orton's new record). "I can live in both worlds," he says. "I have a studio at home, so when I'm in a period of work where I'm doing remixes for people -- recently for Sade and Maxwell -- I can be mixing upstairs but I can come down and see my kids when they come home from school. It's great. But also I can cut loose from the kind of domestic side of life and go and tour with Jay, or go and play Lazy Dog and feel connected with a younger, kind of more vibrant social culture. I'm very lucky to have both worlds, really."
