"Target for tonight"
"The first concern of an author is to do down his colleagues." In the long, hot Roman summer of AD 74, Falco, private informer and spare-time poet, gives a reading for his family and friends. Things get out of hand, as usual. The event is taken over by Aurelius Chrysippus, a wealthy Greek banker and patron to a group of struggling writers, who offers to publish Falco's work.
I was just a freelance hero doing his best in a hard world.' The spirit of adventure calls Falco on a new spying mission for the Emperor Vespasian to the untamed East. He's picking up extra fees from his old friend Thalia the snake dancer as he searches for Sophrona, her lost water organist. With the Chief Spy Anacrites paying his fare, Falco knows anything can go wrong. A dangerous brush with the Brother, the sinister ruler of Nabataean Petra, sends Falco and his girlfriend Helena on a fast camel-ride to Syria.
"Missing Christian Rodska"
Rats are always bigger than you expect.' Falco, ancient Rome's hangdog investigator, hates sharing a cell with a rodent - though being bailed by his old mother is almost as embarrassing. His high-born girlfriend can't decide if she wants him, and Titus Caesar's reward for past services is a wet fish. Hoping for a better life, or at least a better apartment, he takes on new clients. On the elegant slopes of the Pincian Hill, three nouveau riche freedmen with two flashy wives are under siege by a clever redhead.
"Copper not gold"
This was a lonely place for anybody to be brought to die.' In the wealthy town of Ostia, our hero Falco appears to be enjoying a relaxing holiday. But when his girlfriend, Helena, arrives carrying a batch of old copies of the Daily Gazette - with the intention of catching up on the latest scandal - Falco is forced to admit to Petronius his real reasons for being there. 'Infamia', the pen name of the scribe who writes the gossip column for the Daily Gazette, has gone missing.
"great escapism ,"
I was the new boy, so they saddled me with the worst jobs.' Rome, AD 71. Against his better judgement, Falco secretly disposes of a decayed corpse for the Emperor Vespasian, then heads for the beautiful Bay of Naples with his best friend Petronius. He conveniently forgets to mention to his companion that this will be no holiday. They have been sent to investigate the murderous members of a failed coup, now sunning themselves in luxurious villas and on fancy yachts.
"Enjoyable read"
"I've always wanted to see something of the Empire outside Rome." AD 71. Germania Libera: dark, dripping forests inhabited by bloodthirsty barbarians and legendary wild beasts, a furious prophetess who terrorises Rome, and the ghostly spirits of slaughtered Roman legionaries. Enter Falco, an Imperial agent on a special mission: to find the absconding commander of a legion whose loyalty is suspect.
"Shame about the narrator!"
Montpellier in 1566 - only fools walk the streets at night unarmed while a profession of faith in the wrong company can lead to a knife in the back. Not even this proud city of philosophers is safe from the menaces that endanger the peace of France. The city militia are struggling to contend with the lawlessness and religious hatred that threaten to tear the whole country in two.
Your brother seemed to know what he was doing.' Rome, AD 72. Falco returns home from a six-month mission to the German legions. But trouble is in store for him: his apartment has been wrecked by squatters and an ex-legionary friend of his colourfully heroic brother Festus is demanding money, allegedly owed him as the result of one of Festus's wild schemes. Worse still, the only client Falco can get is his mother - who wants him to clear the family name.
"I still can't believe I've put the bastard away for good!" Petro muttered.' Petronius Longus, captain of the Aventine watch and Falco's oldest friend, has finally nailed one of Rome's top criminals. Under Roman law, citizens are not imprisoned but are allowed 'time to depart' into exile outside the Empire. One dark and gloomy dawn, Petro and Falco put the evil Balbinus aboard a ship. But soon after, an outbreak of robbery and murder suggests a new criminal ring has moved into Balbinus' territory.
"Spoilt by the narrator"
From Amazon number-one best-selling author Mark Dawson, this novella is an introduction to John Milton, the most dangerous assassin in the pay of Her Majesty's government. Meet John Milton. He considers himself an artisan. A craftsman. His trade is murder. Milton is the man the government sends after you when everything else has failed. Ruthless. Brilliant. Anonymous. Lethal. You wouldn't pick him out of a crowd, but you wouldn't want to be on his list.

Lethal. You wouldn't pick him out of a crowd but you wouldn't want to be on his list. In this second dip into his case files (see 1000 Yards for a further novella), Milton is sent to Italy to investigate the death of a colleague from Group 15.
What did he eat last? Whom did he eat, in fact? Lumbered with working alongside reptilian Chief Spy Anacrites, Falco has the perfect plan to make money - he will assist Vespasian in the Emperor's 'Great Census' of AD 73. His potential fee could finally allow him to join the middle ranks and be worthy of long-suffering Helena Justina. Unexpectedly confronted with the murder of a man-eating lion, Falco is distracted from his original task, uncovering a bitter rivalry between the gladiators' trainers.

Saffron I like the fit, simple and clean. I am really nitpicking here but spread collars don't look good unbuttoned, either grab a tie and jacket or switch to an ocbd.
Actually Rennavate, I beg to differ...taking a close look at that gentleman's photos, medium is just barely fitting--and that's only when standing up, upright, abs tight and sucked in....when seated, we will have bursting again...
The gentleman is a Large, or slightly larger...
shoulder measurement, guys
IMO the medium may be pushing it on this. the rest is better yes, but a large would definitely be too big.

Recognized for Innovative Design, Positive Impact on Lives of People with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes
BEDFORD, Mass., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The OmniPod(R) Insulin Management System, designed and produced by Insulet Corporation (Nasdaq: PODD), today won a 2009 Edison Best New Product Award(TM). The product was honored with the Gold Award in the Science and Medical category in recognition of its innovative design that offers people living with insulin-dependent diabetes all the benefits of insulin pump therapy, with unprecedented freedom, comfort and ease in managing their diabetes.
The OmniPod(R) Insulin Management System is the first and only continuous insulin delivery system of its kind on the market. Unlike conventional insulin pumps, the OmniPod System has no tubing and features automated, virtually pain-free insertion. It has just two, wireless components: the Pod -- a, compact, lightweight, self-adhesive insulin delivery device that is worn discreetly on the skin beneath clothing; and the Personal Diabetes Manager -- a wireless, menu-driven, hand-held device that programs the Pod.
OmniPod user Ethan Alexander of San Francisco, who attended the awards ceremony held in Mountain View, CA, is one such person who benefits from the product's unique features. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1999 and initially used conventional insulin pumps to deliver his insulin. "Those pumps weren't right for me because I have an active life that includes surfing and playing soccer," Mr. Alexander said. "The tubing frequently got in the way, keeping me from doing what I wanted."
"OmniPod lets me live my life my way and is the best choice for me. I now can freely engage in all these activities while receiving my insulin, because it has no tubing, is watertight, durable and is always on me. As

My name is Mark. I love working with people and offering anything I can do to help others. I recently joined ModelMayhem so that I could expand my network and gain more modeling experience. I've done photo shoots in the past for clothing lines, amateur photographers and special promotions. However, I'm looking to get more work and become more dedicated within this field.
I have a great smile and I'm easy to work with. If you are interested in contacting me for work please feel free to message me. Although I love classic high-end photography I also love edgy, artsy shoots too.
No Scams.
I love helping amateur Photographers who are willing to have fun and build their portfolio. I am your model.
Much love~

The Genre Function of the Writing Textbook
As a political philosophy, neoliberalism construes a rationale for a
handful of private interests to control as much of social life as possible
to maximize their financial investments. Unrestricted by legislation or
government regulation, market relations as they define the economy are
viewed as a paradigm for democracy itself. Central to neoliberal philoso-
phy is the claim that the development of all aspects of society should be
left to the wisdom of the market.
—Henry A. Giroux and Susan Searls Giroux
This year, like every year, textbook publishers sponsored a book fair and free lunch in my department. Eerily polite and deferential book reps from the major publishers displayed large stacks of texts. While some literary anthologies were among the offerings, the vast majority were textbooks for writing classes, and the annual event is intended primarily for first-year writing staff. Indeed, the reps pay the writing program a fee in order to participate; with the stacks of textbooks, the business cards, and the smiles come free sandwiches and sodas. This event has become an entrenched part of the general scene in my department, coming with the same mundane regularity as the Christmas party and factional squabbling. It is also remarkably different from the other regular happenings in the department because it directly integrates private industry and marketing into the fabric of the departmental culture and work. Publishers make their presence felt in a host of other ways, such as by sending out free textbooks and e-mails that advertise particular books and soliciting paid reviews. A few publishers are now sponsoring research in the field, and publishers are ubiquitous at the annual College Composition and Communication Conference (CCCC) and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) conference. In fact, major events at each conference are sponsored by the publishers and have become deeply ingrained in conference cultures. At the CCCC, meetings with free food and alcohol at publishers' parties are a regular part of the established routines of conference goers. At the NCTE

One of the biggest bestsellers of all time, and one of the first and most influential spy novels of the twentieth century, is back in print for the first time since 1948
Alan Furst fans will note that train passengers in his bestselling thrillers are often observed reading The Madonna of the Sleeping Cars. It's a smart detail: First published in 1927, the book was one of the twentieth century's first massive bestsellers, selling over 15 million copies worldwide.… (more)
So not only does the novel "pretend to little, but abound in much," it also gives the 21st-century reader a sense of the kind of book that used to be called a "racy French novel." What a treat to have it back in print.

By Mickey Z., Planet Green
Imagine for a minute if corporate-sponsored mouthpieces like Limbaugh and O'Reilly were correct on either of these points:
- Global warming is a hoax
- Humans are not responsible for climate change
Well, guess what? It wouldn't change the green movement's primary mission. Because while some waste valuable time debating deniers, every 24 hours:
- 13 million tons of toxic chemicals are released across the globe
- Over 100 plant or animal species go extinct
- 200,000 acres of rainforest are destroyed
- 45,000 humans die of starvation
And that's just the tip of the melting iceberg…
Climate change, of course, connects to many of the pressing green issues but our eco-system would be in peril even if the deniers are right. We'd still have 80 percent of the world's forests gone. We'd still have 90 percent of the large fish in the ocean gone. In other words, we'd still have an urgent need to dismantle industrial civilization and work towards a greener future.

Douglas Quenqua | October 8, 2009 | Comments
A kitchen makeover for a well-known author and community manager yielded results, but don't call it grassroots.
Reaching young moms is a priority for Rubbermaid, as is engaging them in a social setting online. But the 70-year-old housewares company was wary when social networking site BigTent came calling.
The problem for Rubbermaid is that BigTent is a social networking site with a twist. It's an online community where women can join groups centered on any number of interests -- from exercising to country music to parenting -- that marketers can access for a price. For example, a publisher can make a deal with a woman who runs a book club to offer free books to her members, and then monitor their feedback. All members are made aware that they might be marketed to when they join one of the site's groups.
Big Tent proposed that Rubbermaid do a kitchen makeover for Leanne Ely -- a nutritionist and author who leads one of Big Tent's most popular groups, Saving Dinner. Ely would then blog about the experience and offer Rubbermaid coupons to her 50,000 readers. Jim Deitzel, manager of e-marketing and brand communication for Rubbermaid, said he was intrigued by the idea, and figured it was worth a try for the money it would cost (in the low five figures, according to BigTent).
As long as it was obvious that Rubbermaid wasn't trying to pass this off as an unpaid endorsement.
"I wanted to be really sure that whatever they did, it was very clear that this was a paid sponsorship campaign," Keitzel said. "I did not want it to come across as, 'Oh this lady just happens to be making a kitchen makeover with Rubbermaid products.'"
Without having much experience in "paid" social media, Deitzel arrived at a set of targets based on the amount of money Rubbermaid was spending and the size of the audience: 250 coupons downloaded from BigTent, and 500 links to Ely's makeover blog.
"They did the deal with us and then we kind of subcontracted with Leanne," Donna Novitsky, CEO of BigTent, said. "We told all of the BigTent members about it, and Leanne also told her extended community, even those who are not on BigTent, about it so we could get as broad a reach as possible."
It would have been difficult to mistake the resulting campaign for something other than a paid sponsorship. For two weeks, from August 31 to September 11, Ely blogged about retooling her kitchen with Rubbermaid products. She began by showing "before" pictures of her cabinets, drawers and pantry, then one by one posted "after" pictures that showed how much more organized they were thanks to Rubbermaid's containers.
She frequently encouraged the 50,000 members of her group to download a $1 Rubbermaid coupon, and to enter a contest to win $100 worth of Rubbermaid products. She consistently thanked Rubbermaid for its help.
The results far surpassed the targets. Nearly 1,000 consumers downloaded the coupon and 2,500 people linked to the blog. Rubbermaid also walked away with dozens of comments submitted by readers about its products and the blog (the comments were not visible to the blog's readers).
Deitzel deemed the campaign a success, and said he might even do it again depending on the size of his budget and the other options available to him at the time. He said BigTent was "easy to work with" and recommended the site for anyone looking to do paid social media outreach. He even said that his fears that consumers would think Rubbermaid was trying to pull a fast one were assuaged.
Still, don't ask him to call it a real grassroots social networking campaign.
"It was advertising," he said. "I really tried to think of it as advertising and not social media. But in the end people were aware of what it was, and that's what matters."

Opera Turbo10.0 Build 1535 Alpha
editor's review
2 comments
Opera is one of the most respectable web browsers ever built. In an attempt to make it faster, its developers created Opera Turbo.
Automatic Turbo activation mode
How is Opera Turbo different? It sports a little Turbo button displayed on the lower left corner of the screen that optimizes pages, once it has been activated (without compromising graphics or video clips), so they load faster on slow connections.
The Turbo feature can be configured to automatically enable itself once Opera detects a slow network, and you can receive notifications about network speed.
Handy features to play with
Otherwise, Opera Turbo comes with some interesting features that you can fully use to your advantage. For instance, you can save and manage sessions and import and export (bookmarks, mails, feed lists, Opera contacts, and others).
Plus, you may enable or disable images, change style and encoding, add various fun or practical widgets, take notes, view all links found in a web page, and customize its appearance.
Simplified navigation
Furthermore, when you open a new tab, you can use Speed Dial to add web pages to thumbnail, and instantly access them with a single click of the mouse.
Plus, navigating through Opera is simplified, thanks to mouse gestures. By making one swift motion with your mouse, Opera immediately complies (e.g. reload page, minimize window, close current tab), and these gestures can be customized.
Fast web browser
In conclusion, if you want to navigate faster on the Internet when you are dealing with a slow network connection, then try Opera Turbo. It uses a lower amount of memory resources, compared to other web browsers.

Modern Living, Architecture, Design and Technology. Who Designed It? - About Us.
Untitled Document. It has taken ten years of guitar construction and development to achieve the quality of sound produced by The KINNY Stereo Acoustic Guitar.
Initially, Paul started designing and making guitar type instruments that were suited to recording purposes only. The sounds he worked towards usually had a clean lower frequency response. This lack of a 'muddy bottom end' suited the guitar ensemble recording activities that he was becoming involved in. Four stringed guitars, Nashville tuned guitars, Soprano guitars, Baritone Guitars, Electric and Classical guitars were developed and recorded to test their studio characteristics.
Strumming and picking guitars were then developed. One major aim was to create a solo guitar sound that when recorded would sound as though the guitarist was in the room with you.

In an iterative approach to user interface design, rapid prototyping is the process of quickly mocking up the future state of a system, be it a website or application, and validating it with a broader team of users, stakeholders, developers and designers. Doing this rapidly and iteratively generates feedback early and often in the process, improving the final design and reducing the need for changes during development.

A slumming Spike Lee is still better than most directors at the top of their game, but Oldboy isn't just Lee's worst movie, it's practically his "Wicker Man".
The sheer brutality of Oldboy is stunning, especially a deeply disturbing scene in which Brolin tortures Samuel L. Jackson. But this is an unrelievedly grim and hermetic experience throughout, the cinematic equivalent of blunt trauma.
What's onscreen feels squeezed, truncated and curiously embalmed. It's got no kick to it.
The feel-bad movie of the holiday season, Spike Lee's often-repellent Americanized reimagining of Korean director Chan-Wook Park's twisty 2004 revenge thriller Oldboy is relentlessly gruesome, self-consciously shocking and pretty much pointless.
Spike Lee's version loses the one thing that really worked in the original, the sense of moral complication emerging out of the intertwined action of two men hell-bent on retribution.
His (Lee) Oldboy is relentlessly unpleasant and difficult to watch, without offering audiences much moral or aesthetic payoff for its hour and 40 minutes of graphic violence and abject degradation. Oldboy is both original and uncompromising, I'll give it that—it just doesn't happen to be any good.
Lee and Protosevich have made a picture that, although several shades edgier than the average Hollywood thriller, feels content to shadow its predecessor's every move while falling short of its unhinged, balls-out delirium.
Other than sniggering about what an outré stereotype they've served up, it's hard to see how Lee and Copley can justify this performance, which is quite the worst of the year, and sends the whole final act of their movie straight to oblivion.
Colorless and soulless in the extreme, it bears no one's fingerprints at all. There's no reason for this Oldboy to exist. It's so DOA, you stumble out of it wanting to eat something alive.
The longer it drags on, the sillier it gets. A preposterous narrative, illogical red herrings, trick endings, bad acting and—shazam! — Spike Lee turns into M. Night Shyamalan!

Brolin, Jackson, and Olsen's portrayals are compelling and more than worthy. Unfortunately, Copley, who is often a standout, feels like he's delivering performance art here, rather than a performance. There are some haunting visual motifs and the plot twists are as depraved as one would imagine and may desire. Overall, the changes that are made detract from, rather than enhance the story. The end is where the film truly falls apart, though. The small and large shifts rob the tale of its nuance. Park Chan-wook's complex meditation on violence, responsibility, revenge, and poetic justice is bastardized and morphed into a cartoonish and contrived version. There is very little in this new Oldboy that the original didn't do better. You're best off to save your money at the theater and rewatch or discover Chan-wook's far more intricately woven and harrowing saga.… Full Review »

I also doubt that the person who approved the script could have seen the original version.
The childhood tragedy was the father's fault, not Joe's and thus there is a lack of justification for the future vengeance.
Additionally, the ending was removed compared to the original, since there was no brainwashing or hypnosis in this new version.

Governments should open up channels for civil society complaints against violations of social rights[25/09/08] The protection of social rights will be further tested during the current economic crisis. Like other human rights they are enshrined in treaties agreed by governments, one of them being the European
The support for the European Social Charter (Revised) has broadened in recent months. Hungary and the Slovak Republic have ratified this instrument and the Russian Federation and Serbia have initiated a process for taking such a decision within the near future. A clear majority of the Council of Europe member states have now bound themselves to respect the Charter in its original or revised version.1
This is progress. However, the key point about human rights norms is their enforcement in real life. To ensure realization of the Charter a monitoring body, the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR), was set up to review reports from states parties about steps taken for implementation. The conclusions of the Committee are submitted for further action to a Governmental Committee.
One further element has been added to this mechanism. The experience in the International Labour Organization has demonstrated the value of a channel for receiving submissions from social partners about concrete violations. Drawing from this experience, a system of collective complaints was established through a Protocol to the European Social Charter.
This mechanism has existed now for more than ten years but only 14 states have decided to be party to it.2 This is a pity because the collective complaints procedure contributes effectively to the enforcement of the social rights guaranteed by the Charter.
Previously, the European Committee of Social Rights had been limited to developing its case law under the reporting procedure by examining the reports submitted by member states and deciding on conformity with the Charter. With the complaints procedure the verification process has been given a new dynamic. It allows the Committee, in its own words, "to make a legal assessment of the situation of a state in the light of the information supplied by the complaint and the adversarial procedure to which it gives rise".3
Collective complaints may be submitted by international organizations of employers and trade unions which participate in the work of the Governmental Committee4 , other international non-governmental organizations enjoying participatory status with the Council of Europe as well as national organizations of employers and trade unions of the Contracting Parties concerned. In addition, each state may, in a special declaration authorize national non-governmental organizations to lodge complaints against it. Only Finland has so far done so.
The complaints are examined by the ECSR and declared admissible if the formal requirements are met. Then a written procedure is set in motion, with an exchange between the parties. Other states parties, as well as the employers organizations, and the trade unions may also submit observations.
The ECSR may decide to hold a public hearing. Subsequently, it takes a decision on the merits of the complaint, which it forwards to the parties concerned and to the Committee of Ministers in a report, which is made public within four months. The Committee of Ministers adopts a resolution. If appropriate, it may recommend that the state concerned takes specific measures to bring the situation into line with the Charter.
Despite the low number of states parties to the procedure and its quasi-judicial character, it has clearly exceeded expectations. The Committee has dealt with key issues of vulnerability and discrimination:
In its role as authentic interpreter of the Charter, the ECSR has demonstrated that it does not operate in vacuum. It has built on the Council of Europe's norms with particular reference to the European Convention on Human Rights and when relevant to other important international norms like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Its case law is now also a reference for my work as Commissioner. The European Court of Human Rights recently explained how the ECSR case law can be a source of interpretation. 6
The procedure of collective complaints has a preventive dimension. The complaints lodged before the ECSR do not deal with individual cases but with general shortcomings in law and practice. Assessments made by the Committee can assist states in taking required measures to remedy a situation and thus preempt individual applications before the Strasbourg Court. The fact that the Committee can refer to an issue dealt with in its complaints procedure when submitting its regular reports adds to this preventive aspect.
Indeed, several states have redressed a situation brought to light by way of this procedure. In November 2006, I welcomed the adoption by the Greek Parliament of a law on domestic violence, under which corporal punishment of children has become prohibited. The law's adoption had been prompted by a decision of the ECSR on a collective complaint against Greece.
In response to a complaint concerning housing rights, France undertook to take into account the decision of the European Committee of Social Rights when implementing the Act on the enforceable right to housing.
In the case concerning the right to education of children with autism, the French Government declared that it would bring the situation into conformity with the Revised Charter and that measures were being taken to this effect.
The collective complaints procedure has several advantages. It is relatively fast and non-bureaucratic. Its admissibility criteria are more flexible than those before the Strasbourg Court. A complaint may be declared admissible even if domestic remedies are not exhausted and even if a similar case is pending before national or international bodies.
I sincerely hope that more governments will take steps to open this channel for complaints relating to their own countries. I hope that trade unions, employers groups and other civil society organizations will consider using this mechanism more systematically in order to protect social rights.

Oklahoma meth makers flout laws
In a state that once led the nation in laws to reduce access to methamphetamine ingredients, the numbers of labs and methamphetamine deaths are on the rise as cooks adapt and use a new process for making the drug.
The number of methamphetamine labs has increased by more than 500 in the past three years, according to figures from the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control. In 2009, there were 743 labs discovered. Just three years before that, 148 labs were found. Those numbers include labs where people are actively cooking and materials that are dumped and believed to have been methamphetamine labs. "It's always a game of cat and mouse," said Darrell Weaver, director of the bureau. "Law enforcement adapts and criminals keep finding a way to work around it." The number of deaths from methamphetamine overdoses has also climbed. In 2008, 27 deaths were reported. In the first nine months of 2009, the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office reported 51 deaths from methamphetamine overdoses, Narcotics Bureau figures show. "That's alarming," Weaver said. "When we have more drugs, the results are more bodies." There were methamphetamine overdose deaths in 20 of the state's 77 counties. Tulsa County had the most with 18 meth overdoses, according to the figures. Officials expect the death count to increase as the medical examiner's office finishes work on its 2009 cases.
State passed lawIn 2004, Oklahoma was the first state to pass a law to limit access to pseudoephedrine. Congress followed Oklahoma's lead and made it federal law to keep the over-the-counter decongestant locked up. To get the decongestant in Oklahoma, buyers have to add their name to a state registry and include their date of birth.

Scientists are a step closer to understanding how abnormalities in brain development might lead to autism and behavioural disorders.
Research into Fragile X Syndrome a genetic condition that is the leading known cause of autism has discovered that critical phases in the brain's development may be mistimed in people with the condition.
The mistiming of key developmental stages may result in inappropriate communication between brain cells and could cause the symptoms experienced by Fragile X patients, such as hypersensitivity to touch and sound, as well as social withdrawal, hyperactivity and anxiety.
The study also found these changes in the brain's connections occur much earlier than previously thought, midway through a baby's development in the womb.
Scientists say that the study, published in the journal Neuron, suggests there are key "windows" when treatments for Fragile X and autism could be most effective.
Fragile X syndrome is as common as cystic fibrosis it affects around one in 4000 males and one in 8000 females worldwide. It causes intellectual disability as well as social, language and behavioural problems.
The research, conducted by scientists at Northwestern University in the USA and the University of Edinburgh, sought to identify ways in which the brains of people with Fragile X differ from those of healthy people.
Researchers used a mouse model of the condition to investigate how the regions of the brain responsible for processing sensory information for example, touch may develop differently in Fragile X patients.
The team believes that the changes they found in this area of the brain may be mirrored in other regions, explaining the range of symptoms experienced by people with Fragile X syndrome.
Professor Peter Kind, who led the study at the University of Edinburgh, said: "This research is important because it indicates when changes take place in the

Arizona Republicans lost an effort to force women to explain to their employers why they need and use birth control so that their employer could chose whether or not to allow insurance coverage for that contraception.
The final bill was defeated on a 17-13 vote but not without causing significant controversy nationwide.
The bill functioned as a state version of the Blunt Amendment, the federal proposal that would allow any employer, not just religious institutions, to object to insurance coverage of any medical condition on the grounds they found coverage "morally objectionable". It represents a distorted and dangerous mis-application of First Amendment principles and Republicans are showing no signs of abandoning this line of reasoning any time soon.
Eight Republicans joined the nine Democrats in voting down the bill.
While this is a good step for Arizona women the legislature still has a 20-week abortion ban waiting for House approval as well as a medical malpractice shield that would protect doctors if they lie to women about fetal abnormalities in an attempt to dissuade them from seeking an abortion.
Thanks to the over 1,000 Care2 members who signed the petition against this bill.

We still have Moderates that think we can appeal to reason, and compromise. They need to learn you can't appeal to reason or compromise with fanatics.
Once the majority of Americans realize the Insanity is growing, we can Recall the existing lunatic Politicians and bar the rest from power via the voting booth.
But if we minimize the problem, if we keep trying to compromise with lunatics, we'll stay stuck in this do-nothing logjam.

'The Situation' Sues Vodka Company for $5 Million

Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
While his Jersey Shore castmate is going a different culinary route, The Situation is suing a vodka company he made an endorsement deal with in 2010 for allegedly going back on its contract.
According to the Spirits Business, Mike Sorrentino (aka the Jersey Shore frontman) signed a deal with Devotion Vodka back in 2010. Although Sorrentino has received an 8 percent stake in the company as part of the contract, Devotion Vodka has not given him the extra 2 percent — which Sorrentino claims was his after a one-year anniversary of the deal. Sorrentino also says he was not offered "buy-back" shares in the company at the two-year anniversary of the deal.
Now, Sorrentino is suing the company for $5 milion, or 10 percent of his share of the company. Of course, Sorrentino recently completed a stint in rehab, but he's still hawking the vodka despite being sober.
