|OBJECTIVE: : The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical features and natural history of primary lateral sclerosis (PLS).
BACKGROUND: : PLS is a motor neuron disorder defined by corticospinal and corticobulbar tract dysfunction without clinically significant lower motor neuron involvement.
METHODS: : We collected data from 25 patients with PLS seen in 2 academic neurology departments over a 5-year period.
RESULTS: : The PLS population represented approximately 3% of acquired motor neuron disease cases seen during that period. Twenty-three patients (92%) presented with lower limb weakness, spasticity, or difficulty with ambulation. None presented with upper limb symptoms. Eleven patients (44%) developed bulbar symptoms. All patients had hyperreflexia and increased muscle tone. Muscle weakness was observed in 15 patients (60%) and tended to be mild and asymmetric. Needle electromyography (EMG) was normal or showed only fasciculations in 15 patients (60%); 10 patients had features of mild active denervation, consisting of fibrillation or positive sharp wave potentials, but the extent of these findings did not satisfy World Federation of Neurology electrophysiological criteria for the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Fourteen patients (52%) continued independent ambulation. Of the 10 patients with active denervation on EMG, 6 (60%) required a walker, scooter, or wheelchair at a mean follow up of 6.2 years. There were no fatalities over the 5-year period.
CONCLUSIONS: : Our experience supports the observation that PLS progresses more slowly than other forms of acquired motor neuron disease, particularly amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Follow-up data suggest that patients with active denervation changes develop greater disability.

Robert W. Jones
A former correctional officer at the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield pleaded guilty today to hiring someone to kill his wifes ex-husband. He was working as a guard when he sought help for the murder from an inmate known to have helped run a drug trafficking organization.
According to a release from the U.S. Attorney for Western Missouri, Robert W. Jones, 43, is subject to a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison without parole.
Prosecutors say Jones contacted the medical center inmate and worked with him over numerous occasions to find a hit man to murder the ex-husband. While pretending to help Jones with the plan, the inmate actually was cooperating with federal investigators.
Because of the inmates leadership position in the drug organization, he had connections to people who could carry out such a request, according to the news release from the U.S. Attorneys Office.
The inmate met with Jones for 10 to 15 private conversations in March and April 2012. Jones offered to give the inmate a cell phone to call a hit man, avoiding the possibility of the conversation being recorded on a landline at the prison.
Jones and the inmate had multiple meetings in July 2012, with Jones standing outside the inmates jail cell and speaking to him through an opening in the door, according to the news release.
During one meeting, which was recorded on prison surveillance, Jones told the inmate his wife had left him and took all their belongings except the couch, television and bills, and he blamed the wifes ex-husband for her departure.
An undercover FBI agent posed as a hit man named Chuey, and the inmate gave Jones a telephone number to contact the hit man. Jones contacted Chuey and made arrangements to meet at the food court inside the Battlefield Mall. At that meeting, Jones told the undercover agent he would pay him $1,500 for the murder.
Jones gave the man a photo of the target, his home address and $1,500 in cash.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Jones was arrested.
In October of 2012, Jones attorney, Dee Wampler, filed an intention to use an insanity defense, citing depression and stress from Jones service during the Gulf War.
Jones father, Robert H. Jones, previously told the News-Leader he was concerned with his sons mental state.
The criminal complaint lists the crime specifically as use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire.

Got my ass handed to me last Saturday. Not as bad as my divorce with the only difference being my ex-wife hit me harder than the other guys.
Long story short, set my car up for a dry/firm track and ended up mud bogging in a loose/saturated track. Wrong tires, wrong suspension = me being the pinata instead of the bat.
Go to you tube and search for the Spicewood Texas Demolition Derby 2011 - find the purple ghetto sled caddy number 00 and that's me.
Nice Try = You Suck Spelled Differently
It hasn't been very long since I took the exam and honestly I found it pretty easy. I finished all 4 sections by about 11:30 so I went to lunch, came back and looked over it but I felt good about my answers so I turned it in. I was the 2nd person to complete that day,even ahead of pretty much all the people that were only retaking a single section, and I had a funny exchange with the proctor.
Proctor - You done?
Me - Yes.
Proctor - You sure you're done?
Me - Yeah, pretty sure.
Proctor - OK, I'll see you next time.
Me - Sounds good.
Got my results and the lowest I scored on any section was a 94, got a 100 on hydraulics.
This stuff isn't that complicated if you know the math, the laws and backflow. They don't ask any of the hard stuff like how to locate a shorted solenoid or how to determine if a zone has even DU or how to convince a customer that the reason 1/2 his yard is yellow and the other 1/2 is brown is because it wasn't hydrozoned worth a damn. Just review the book the night before, write down your formulas on a piece of scrap paper as soon as you sit down and double check your math and you should do fine.

Rene Bourque scored his first goal of the season at just the right time. The time was 2:50 into overtime and the goal gave the Flames a 1-0 win in Nashville. Rene Bourque, who has been out since the start of the season with a head injury, had a great return to the lineup and played well on the Flames 3rd line.
Despite several good chances by both teams, the game remained scoreless through 3 periods. Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne and Flames netminder Miikka Kiprusoff were both solid in net, but the difference ended up being one shot. The Flames had a total of 35 shots on net, while the Preds ended up with 34. Kipper had the more spectacular stops, including an amazing one on Martin Erat, and ended up walking away with the shutout.
Though it wasn't an overly-physical game, Ryan Sutter was the recipient of a solid hit from Cory Sarich early in the first period. It appeared as though Suter injured his knee on the play and didn't return to the game.
After a slow start to their season, the Flames found a way to get 2 points in their first of 3 games on the road. The Flames play in the first two periods was good – not spectacular, just good, but the third period and overtime showed a little more of what the fans are looking for. Sure the team only scored one goal, but their team play and passing was much better than it had been in both of the Flames losses this year. The Flames play, which so often can be characterized by breaking down late in the game, was very good in the third period and into overtime.
Here is Brent Sutter's post-game comment:
In the 3rd period, outside of a couple chances, we didn't give up much.
Indeed the Flames did play well late in the game, especially when the pressure was on. They supported their goaltender and didn't allow any easy chances for the Preds who have now lost their second consecutive game in overtime.
The Flames next game is in Detroit on Thursday.

Xanadu star Cheyenne Jackson, fourth from left, front row, poses outside the Helen Hayes Theatre with "Xanadu" groupies. Swept away by the show's upbeat spirit, devotees will line up at the box office for another viewing only moments after the curtain has come down. / Jim Cooper/The Associated Press
Brandon Purves is the kind of guy producers of "Xanadu" only dreamed about. He liked the Broadway musical so much the first time that he saw it again. And again. And again - 86 times and counting.
"It's nice to have 1 1/2 hours to just laugh and not worry about everything else that's going on," says Purves, who works in fundraising for the Roundabout Theatre Company.
"Xanadu" has nothing to do with the Roundabout, which is currently staging "Pygmalion," "The Ritz" and "The Overwhelming." That begs a question: Has he watched anything by his employers that many times?
"Absolutely not," he says, laughing. "I can't see myself at 'Pygmalion' 86 times."
Purves, 28, is one of a legion of "Xanadu" fans who have fueled both excitement and ticket sales for a musical few thought would be a hit.
Swept away by the show's upbeat spirit, devotees will line up at the box office to get tickets only moments after the curtain has come down. They'll wait to chat with the performers, and swap photos and stories in a growing online community.
"Xanadu" fans fly in from as far away as California. One married couple say they have seen it more than 70 times between them. Some repeat customers even get on-stage high-fives from the actors.
"It's infectious," says Jeffrey Suna, 52, a five-time watcher who works at a Manhattan stock brokerage. "I sit there with a smile on my face from beginning to end."
When the show made its debut this summer, many feared it would be mocked like the film on which it was based - the 1980 roller-disco flick with Olivia Newton-John as an ancient Greek muse who lands in modern-day California and grooves to Electric Light Orchestra songs like "Magic" and "I'm Alive."
But critics embraced the satirical script and stars Kerry Butler, Cheyenne Jackson, Tony Roberts, Mary Testa and Jackie Hoffman. Even after roller-skating injuries took out key performers, the show kept packing 'em in.
Fans, who've nicknamed themselves "Fanadus" or "The 'Du Crew," give multiple reasons for their affection: the uplifting script, a built-in movie fan base, familiar songs, the warmth of the actors and a small, intimate theater that lets audience members sit on stage for as little as $41, glow sticks included. Recently, 12 people dressed as ancient Greeks plopped down in the on-stage section, further blurring the line between audience and actors.
"The house manager said he's never worked on a show where he's had to tell people not to hold up cardboard signs," says Douglas Carter Beane, the playwright. "It has become this party that people come to."
One of the first to fall in love with the show was Rob Tursi, 26, who was born the same year the film came out and calls it the "most ridiculous movie I have ever watched in my entire life." When he read in January about plans to bring an adaptation to Broadway, he knew he had to go.
"I nearly lost my mind," says Tursi, who works in real estate and has seen "Xanadu" 14 times. "I e-mailed everybody I've ever met. I was like, 'We have to go see this when it comes out. It's going to be insane.' "
He and a friend caught one of the very first performances, stopping beforehand for a fortifying cocktail in case it was a disaster.
"It was really an unbelievable show. I was like, 'We have to come back again - and sober,' " he says, laughing.
When Tursi goes to the show now, the actors greet him under their breath on stage and he gets high-fives when they exit.
Brian Rubin, who does public relations for video games in Los Angeles, was converted while in New York over the Memorial Day weekend. He caught the show that Friday and was lining up to see it again on Saturday and Sunday.
He's now seen now it 25 times - not bad for someone who lives on the opposite coast.
"Having seen all the shows that I've seen in my life, it's one of the very few that I've become this fanatic about," says Rubin, 34. "It doesn't feel mass produced. It doesn't feel like every performance is the same."
He recently attended a charity auction and won a bandanna and a pair of jean shorts worn by Jackson in the musical.
While other shows such as "Rent," "Wicked" and "Legally Blonde" have sparked their share of fans, Fanadus seem to skew older, more professional - and people who know theater.
"Most shows get fans, but the Fanadus seem to be oddly functioning human beings," says Bean, the playwright. "They're actually not crazy nuts. They're people who have lives."
One couple who has worked "Xanadu" into their busy lives is Andrew and Mei Francese of Brooklyn. While on line recently to see his 41st performance, Andrew, 40, an insurance underwriter, explained that he and his wife switch off attending shows so that whoever isn't at the theater can spend quality time with their 18-month-old daughter, who is, naturally, a "Xana-Baby."
"It's worked out so great because we have such stressful jobs that it's a break for her when she's here and it's a break for me when I'm here," he says. His wife, an office manager, has seen it 31 times.
The couple also have turned their addiction into helping others. They bought 16 on-stage seats for a performance on Halloween night and resold them to Fanadus, with all proceeds going to help Darfur refugees. Buyers also got T-shirts signed by the entire cast, wristbands and Fresca.
Michael Lever, a three-time watcher from Van Nuys, Calif., thinks he knows why "Xanadu" has generated such devotion. Lever, 45, who works in TV marketing, says the show just feels right.
"It has to have heart," says Lever. "You can have the right cast, a good writer, great songs, but the show has to take you somewhere, make you feel something. This does."

Question: Whatever happened to the cross that was stolen from St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Maili in late June or early July?
Answer: The 2 1/2 -foot-tall, nickel-plated brass cross has never been recovered.
But the modest, plantation-green church received a nearly identical replacement from St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Aiea that's "maybe a smidge taller," said the Rev. Karen Perkins of St. Philip's.
St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church also offered to buy St. Philip's a new brass cross. And the Lutheran Church of Honolulu lent St. Philip's a wooden cross for its first service after the theft was discovered in early July.
"We have not gotten our cross back," Perkins said. "We were hoping for that."
Thieves had broken into St. Philip's before and made off with an American flag, clocks, fire extinguishers and even the plastic numbers that tell people which hymns are to be sung on a given week.
But the compassion of Perkins' 30 or so congregants was tested when someone removed the jalousies from a building window, reached through to open a door and made off with the cross that stood on a table behind the altar, along with five floor fans used to cool off church members during services.
"We get broken into often enough that we weren't surprised," Perkins said. "But we were surprised that someone would take the cross. 'Really? They took the cross?' ... People were crying. They were dismayed and disappointed. We were so focused on the cross that we didn't even realize that they had taken our fans, too."
So Perkins led her tiny congregation in prayer for the thief or thieves.
"We prayed for what is going on in their life that they would steal a cross and we prayed for its return," Perkins said.
And when the offers to replace the cross came in, Perkins led the church in prayer again, this time in prayers of thanks.
"It reminded us of our many friends and that people care about you in the larger community," she said. "It's really touching, very touching."
Church members contributed floor fans from their homes and Perkins now removes the replacement cross and valuable audiovisual equipment after each service.
"It is a little ridiculous," Perkins said. "It's not our first choice."
She estimated the cost of the stolen cross at $750 to $1,200 and has filed an insurance claim.
If the stolen cross is replaced through insurance, Perkins plans to keep the cross donated by St. Timothy's in reserve in case another church needs one in the future.
"When someone needs it, we'll share it with the one in need," Perkins said. "At the end of the day, I'm grateful for the community's expression to us in this loss. It was full of love and very touching."

Exclusive: David Guy Levy Talks Back To Back To The Future
Two weeks ago we ran a contest for a six part digital comic called Back to Back to the Future. It's a story that looked at what would happen if Eric Stoltz had never been replaced as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future films. It's one of those untold Hollywood stories that was just begging to be explored. It also helped out a good cause. The first three issues of the comic are completely free to download, but the final three are for sale with all of the proceeds going to the Young Storytellers Foundation. The man that thought the whole thing up is filmmaker and producer David Guy Levy. I got the chance to speak with Levy late last week about the story, how it came about, and what the future holds for Back to Back to the Future.
You're primarily known as a filmmaker and producer. What made you decide to venture into the world of comic books with Back to Back to the Future?
It was actually my second time getting my hands dirty in the comic world. I worked on a comic book called Cornboy which was a screenplay that was pitched to me in like '04. There was something I always loved, but I didn't know if it would make a great movie. My plan was to let it become a comic instead. We adapted it with Joshua Dysart (Unknown Soldier) and Liquid Comics helped to show me the ropes. That came out and I had such a great experience with it.
At the same time it was coming out, I had just brushed off Back to Back to the Future which I had written 7/8 years earlier. I took it out and read it with some people, and they really liked it. I had had so much fun making Cornboy, I thought I should make this story as a comic. I won't have to throw anything out, I can show it all with the art. As a filmmaker I'm always confined to budget and schedules, but with a comic book I realized I could break through those boundaries. The story was prefect for the medium, so I just ran forward with that.
So it started out as a script, but it sort of evolved into a comic?
Yeah, I actually started writing it in 2001 when I was a film student at Ithaca College. I had to turn in my senior thesis the next day to graduate. I had no ideas what to write. I was surfing the internet, I'm a huge Back to the Future fan, and I was on the Back to the Future website BTTF.Com and they had just posted an interview with Bob Gale who had written and produced the movies. They had new information that not only was Eric Stoltz fired, but there was an actress who was also fired because she was too tall for Michael J. Fox. I continued to read this article, and Bob confirmed that it was Melora Hardin who a lot of people might know from the Office as Jan. Bob said it was the toughest thing he ever had to do letting her go, because she didn't merit being let go. It was one of his major regrets in life.
I thought it was really interesting that the man who wrote my favorite time travel movies of all time had a major regret. I thought it would be really cool if he could go back in time and tackle this regret using the same device he created. The book opens up with Melora Hardin and him not having talked since the incident. He has this interview that plays out in the first few pages. He goes home and he can't stop thinking about her, so he calls her up. They have dinner and he's giving her a ride home in his Tesla, it gets struck by lightning, he takes her home, and he doesn't realize that it's 1984 yet. They find out pretty soon they're in 1984, and not only that but Eric Stoltz is still cast as Marty McFly. They sort of go through a lot of the story structures of the beloved films and decide to make it so Eric Stoltz doesn't get replaced. Bob Gale also sort of steals some other ideas from the 90s for some screenplays while he's there. Then they go to the future and it's out of control. Then they have to go back and it becomes the whole farce.
And you worked with Jeffrey Spokes, who provided just some amazing interior work on the six issues. How did the working relationship with him come about?
That guy is a gem. I knew at the very beginning that I wanted this to be very cinematic. It's a comic book about movies, and beloved movies that have really recognizable faces and characters. I wanted it to be almost photographic, like we're looking at the actual people. I knew I needed a cover artist to do the book. Cover artists are usually paid between 1000 to 3000 dollars per cover and they only do one page a month for a company. The inside art is done by an interior artist and their work is a lot more rushed and less specific. I knew I wanted every page inside to be just as beautiful as a cover. I was talking to my friends at Liquid Comics, and I asked if they knew anybody. They said a lot of those people get paid too well and won't do it, but there are a couple of up and comers you should talk to. They pointed out Jeffrey Spokes on a list of 5 names. He was the only one on the list I knew I wanted to work with. I got in touch with him, and he said he wanted to do a whole book of cover quality art but it's such a time consuming project he had never found a project he wanted to do it for. I asked him if he would read the script and he said he would get back to me in a week or two. By the end of the day he had read it and got back to me saying "I'm in." I paid him the rate of an interior artist because I was doing this out of my savings and it wasn't for any commercial gain. He thought it was a fun story, and he's such a great artist. I was very lucky and he was very giving. Each issue took about three to three and a half months. It took about three and a half years in total with the different work he had to work around. I started in 2009 and I finished it at the end of 2012. He nailed it. He really nailed it. He's in Saskatchewan so we were working over the internet the whole time. I never met him in person.
So how did that work out? Did you guys email back and forth, Skype or what?
Email and Dropbox are brilliant tools for these large files. We shared Dropbox folders. To make the comic, I took the screenplay I wrote in college and readapted it to comic format. Every page was just panel by panel, shot by shot literary descriptions of what was going on. He would draw the page, I would put some bubbles in and play with it, and I would see once in a while something I thought would work and it didn't. He was very easy to work with, so he'd go back and adjust and we'd move on. Each issue would have five or six pages where it just would not click and we'd have to adjust. But it was pretty great.
That's one of the better collaboration stories I've heard. Things don't always go that smoothly.
I'm starting off with comics, and I'm definitely not done. I'm a huge fan of it. I've had some ideas I've abandoned because I figured it would be really hard to get them off the grounds as movies. I don't want to sacrifice the story for the budget, so a lot of time I work on low budget ideas. I realize I can focus on these bigger ideas now and still execute them. Since I'm starting off on the process, I've learned a few things from Cornboy and Back to Back to the Future. So if anyone is thinking about making a comic book, please take note of this experience. I definitely think this is a book…it's six issues, 130 pages…I would have loved if this was 200 pages. There are definitely moments where I felt I had set constraints on the project very early on because I didn't' want to spend five years on it, but pacing in comics is so vital. I think there are moments in books where writers and artists wish they had more pages or a couple more issue to work with. If you're ever in a position to actually get that, and somebody else isn't spending their money on it, do it. I think pacing is important. That's what I'm learning. It's a new medium and I'm getting my bearings. I'm proud of the book, I'm just saying I think there are moments where you think "that would have been great if there was three more pages of that."
With the story itself, what made you decide to present it as a digital comic? That's an ever expanding world, especially the last two years. Was digital's more cinematic presentation a deciding factor?
Oh for sure. It's a great tool because there's so much you can do. Digital is not something to be afraid of I think. That's part of the reason I decided to release it without a print copy initially. For the next year or year and a half it will just be available digitally. Then I'm thinking in 2015 I might have to visit the idea of a print edition for that famous year for Back to the Future fans.
You pull off a lot of wild things in the story, I'm particularly fond of M. Night Shyamalan's involvement, but were you ever concerned about ticking off the people you used in the story? Were there any concerns about the rights to this stuff?
Yeah. Not only was I concerned, but I was writing characters that have the images and likenesses of people I don't know. I don't know who they are, how they act, or how they behave. I had to come up with original characters with their faces on them. A lot of characters were inspired by Back to the Future. Bob Gale started out as Bob but sort of tares into Doc Brown territory. Eric Stoltz started out as George McFly and ends up as evil Biff Tannen. You know I got to do that, but when I put the M. Knight bits and Melora Hardin in there who wasn't really playing anyone else or were people I knew, I just said 'you don't know this person so just write them hyperbolic and free spirited.' I also knew that if Melora Hardin was going back in time 25/30 years after this experience, she would look a lot older than she did on set. As a device in the story I had her have a lot of work done. She's at dinner with Bob in the beginning and she's talking about having some plastic surgery. I wanted to get the idea in there that she was holding on to her youthful image. I knew that wasn't something many people may be pleased about as imaging them in real life, but I think it's fairly obvious it's a device image and it wasn't coming off as insulting.
I was definitely worried. I sort of figure I don't know them, they don't know me how would they take it as an insult? M. Night can usually take it as an insult. I sort of say he hasn't done anything with his career since Sixth Sense, which I don't even agree with because I'm a big fan of Signs. I think a lot of people like to chuckle at M. Night so it's an easy target. And then I was nervous because I didn't want to approach them because I had been working on this since 2001. I had a moment where I was like 'Should I show it to them? Should I approach them?' I just felt creepy. I didn't want to send them an email, ring them up on the phone, or come knocking and say I'm this guy you've never heard of and I've been writing about you so long. Look at these images that took years to draw. So I figured I would put it out in the world and if I hear back from them I hear back from them. Melora Hardin tweeted out that she thought it was fantastic and I was very relieved. And Bob Gale and Eric Stoltz, I haven't heard if they've said anything. There are other people that make cameos. The guy that inspired the whole comic book, Stephen Clark from BTTF.Com, is in the comic book doing the interview in the beginning. He reached out within minutes of the release saying he thought it was great. The Back to the Future community have been very supportive. Before I had even announced anything, they knew about it. They were very supportive about getting the message out there.
The books are making the rounds now. What has the response been from the regular reader, not necessarily the diehard Back to the Future fans?
The readers like it. I think a lot of people, if they take more than a minute to read a tweet or headline for however this comes into their lives, they've been very excited. I've had a lot of people that say they can't wait to read it. And with the website the downloads have been every few minutes somebody is downloading one. It's been very satisfying because Cornboy didn't have that kind of reach.
The diehard fans who just stick with a headline 'What if Eric Stoltz was never replaced by Michael J. Fox?' who assume I'm saying f**K Michael J. Fox, which I'm not, they immediately think I should stay away from their baby and this should never exist. I'm sure I can drink any of them under the table with my love of Back to the Future, so it's fun. I love any chatter, anyone who's talking. I love being part of the conversation about the Back to the Future movies. Even if they're not talking about the comic book, I'm really pleased that this book is sparking conversations about the movies in general.
So so loving this fun series. It really proves what great "future storytellers" are amoung us and how we need new… http://t.co/zAnTvCaVFN
— Melora Hardin (@MeloraHardin) July 22, 2013
I don't want to give away the ending, but let's say it's not a complete finite ending. Could you see yourself returning? I mean there were three movies.
You know, I wouldn't be against it. I would want to stick with the same characters. I wouldn't want to spin off and do other things like…one of my favorite movies is There Will Be Blood. There was a guy named Kel O'Neill who was actually cast in Paul Dano's part for a full month of production and they reshot him. I thought that was similar and a great story, but at the same time it's pretty much the same story. I'd love to see Bob and Melora travel again. I would also love to see a video game. I want to see if I can talk to some video game companies and get this going as a video game. I think it would be fun to explore the Back to the Future world with a new story, but not also try to say we're making a Back to the Future movie. Unless Universal is monitoring this and wants to make a Back to Back to the Future then go for it! I don't think I can pull it off.
Is there another untold Hollywood story you think would make for an interesting comic?
I don't know. Someone told me the other day that Chewbacca is getting his own point of view movie for Star Wars. I was like 'oh, that's genius.' I think it would be fun to do an underestimated Biff Tannen. Just have him as a sweetheart who is misunderstood.
I think when people have icons or characters that really speak to a generation, imagination can go crazy. I started writing this at the same time that George Lucas In Love came out, which was a really great short film about Shakespeare In Love with George Lucas. I think there's this love for just the playground of ideas that are inspired by something this whole community is aware of. The fact that so many people have seen Back to the Future, it's in the zeitgeist in a major way. Just to play with these ideas people already love to being with, I didn't realize just how strong that was. It's been lucky to be a Back to the Future story because that community is already ready to talk. If I made this an original story with no anchor in history, it would be a lot tougher to get the conversation going.
Now one of the things that makes this whole saga unique is that the money is going to the Young Storyteller's Foundation. Can you talk a little about how that decision came about?
I started this with no business model or commercial aspirations. I just wanted to tell this story I started working on years ago as a student. I was working on it and my friend was like 'what are you going to do with it when it's finished' I said I don't know, I'll probably just give it away or something. He told me I should give it to charity, and I thought might as well. After thinking about it for a little while I thought it was a great idea. There was a charity I was trying to get involved with for a while, the Young Storytellers Foundation. What they do perfectly fit with this. They go to arts poor communities and work with underserved public school students who don't have much of an arts program and brings in mentors to the schools to work with them as they write short plays. At the end of the mentorship, which is a 10 week program, professional actors from stage and screen come in and perform these plays. I tried to mentor with them for a while, but with my job I could never give 10 consecutive weeks. Then I figured I could give this story I was trying to get out into the world to them and then if it makes any money, it's how I got to give back to this great organization. I felt like the spirit of how I approached the project and what they do every day was hand in hand. I reached out to the Young Storytellers Foundation and said 'what if we gave the first three issues for free and then the last three, if people want to finish the story and support the Foundation, it will go to you guys?' And they said sure, so that's what I get to do. Every dollar benefits them.
Is there anything you're working on or involved with now that we should be on the lookout for?
I'm working on a couple of movies. I did a movie that came out about a week ago on DVD after a nice little run in February called Would You Rather. It's a horror movie with Brittany Snow, Jeffrey Combs, and Sasha Grey is in it. A lot of great people. One of the Trailer Park Boys, Rob Wells, is in there. It's about a deadly game of 'would you rather?' It's like Clue meets Funny Games. It's pretty fun. We're working on some movies we haven't announced yet because it's a little premature, but we're getting moving and probably shooting by the end of the year. The last few weeks I've been going through the bin of big ideas I've abandoned and opening them up. I'm excited about some of the ideas. I want to tell big stories. If I'm going to stick with comic books, it's going to be these big universes I can fill with my imagination.
Our thanks again to David Guy Levy for talking with us about the project. You can find Levy on Twitter by clicking here, the official Facebook page of Back to Back to the Future here, and the website to learn more about the Young Story Tellers Foundation and how you can get your hands on the comics here. I read all six of the issues, and I have to say the art is amazing and it's a story that's accessible to all manner of Back to the Future fans. I highly encourage you to check out the first three issues. I mean, come on, they're free. If the third one hooks you like it did me, you can buy the final three and have the money go to a good cause. Hopefully we see more comics from Levy in the future. He's very passionate about comics and it sounded like he has a lot of good ideas he's kicking around. What do you think? Have you read Back to Back to the Future yet?

Randy Goldberg, M.D., FACP
Assistant Professor of Medicine
New York Medical College
Westchester Medical Center
Dr Randy Goldberg is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine at New York Medical College (NYMC). He is an attending at Westchester Medical Center (WMC). He is an alumnus of both NYMC (1997) and the WMC Internal Medicine Residency Program, and is currently a student in the New York Medical College, School of Health Sciences and Practice, working on the MPH degree in Health Policy and Management.
Dr. Goldberg serves as a hospitalist at WMC, supervising medical admissions from the emergency department and providing consultation services to the Neuroscience unit.
Specialists in internal medicine are commonly called internists. Because their patients are often seriously ill or require complex investigations, internists do much of their work in hospitals. In modern practice, most internists are subspecialists: that is, they generally limit their medical practice to problems of one organ system or to one particular area of medical knowledge.

Carbohydrates and blood sugar levels are two terms you will hear again and again if you are trying to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle. BioTrust Nutrition IC-5 is a product that is said to help you control these levels, thereby helping you to create the perfect body image. It promises to assist your body in burning fat, thereby improving your weight loss efforts by simply targeting a single hormone. Sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't it? That is exactly what I thought, and it is for this reason that I decided to give them a try and tell you what my experiences are.
Who Are BioTrust Nutrotion?
BioTrust Nutrition was developed by Joel and Josh. They are nutrition and fitness experts and they decided the market was ready for a supplement that actually worked. What was available, according to them, was simply insufficient. Many supplements are nothing but placebos, and others were full of harmful ingredients that shouldn't be safe for human consumption. Hence, they decided the only way to do something right is if you do it yourself, which is how BioTrust Nutrition came to existence. Since then, they have developed numerous products, each one more popular than the last. They have a global customer database and have a fantastic reputation. Basically, people know that their supplements are safe and actually work.
>>Click Here To Learn More About IC-5 Now<<
What Is BioTrust Nutrition IC-5?
IC-5 can help absolutely anybody and is designed to help your body better regulate and produce the insulin hormone. The reality is that most of us, despite our best efforts, struggle to eat truly healthy foods, turning to processed carbohydrates even when we don't know this. Because of the carbohydrates we consume, our blood sugar levels see spikes and drops. When this happens, our body starts to produce too much insulin, and we then become resistant to this insulin. When we become resistant, we start to store fat, which means the carbohydrates we should consume for energy no longer work. This is a vicious cycle in which we grow ever fatter.
IC-5 is packed with ingredients to help us combat this resistance and once again have normal levels of insulin. These ingredients are:
- Cinnamomum Burmannil, which comes from the bark of the cinnamon tree found in Indonesia. Scientific research has demonstrated that this helps to regulate the levels of blood sugar after meals that are high in carbohydrates.
- Berberine, an alkaloid derived from Indian plants, which has been used in Ayurveda for hundreds of years. Research has shown that this alkaloid improves the function of insulin receptors and it mobilizes glucose to the muscle tissue, rather than storing it as fat.
- Pterocarpus Marsupium, which is another element in Ayurveda that is used in the treatment of diabetes. This product can lower blood sugar levels by 21% just two hours after eating a meal full of carbs.
- 4-Hydroxyisoleucine, which is a phytochemical that comes from Fenugreek, a herb that has been demonstrated to lower the amount of fat we store and that raises the amount of glycogen we store.
- R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid, which has been demonstrated to raise how sensitive the body is to insulin by as much as 25% in just four weeks.
Who Can Take BioTrust Nutrition IC-5?
Anybody that wants to lose some weight, whether that is a lot or a little, can benefit from IC-5. Gender or age are irrelevant, so if you have been struggling with weight loss for years, trying one fad diet or bizarre exercise program after another, you may just want to give IC-5 a try. It is particularly beneficial for people who find themselves tired after eating something, or those who always turn to sugar, coffee or carbohydrates whenever they feel a bit tired. These people have become resistant to insulin and need to regain control over their bodies, which is exactly what IC-5 can help them achieve.
What I Liked
- IC-5 is completely safe and is free from artificial flavoring, coloring and sweeteners, or any other product that could be damaging to your health.
- The supplement builds on your body's natural response to insulin, rather than feeding you with hormones, a practice that is illegal anyway.
- When taking IC-5, you are retraining your body to have an appropriate response to carbohydrates. This means that you no longer need to restrict your diet and deprive yourself of foods that you enjoy. Naturally, this is within reason. Someone who eats chocolate cake three times a day is always going to have a weight problem
- You should no longer experience the highs and lows that many of us know during our day to day life.
- It is a natural product that helps to repair the body. As such, you will lose weight in a very quick space of time and you will have greater energy levels as well.
- All BioTrust products come with a full one year money-back guarantee, meaning you don't run any risks by giving it a try.
What I Didn't Like
The product isn't a miracle cure. For me, this wasn't really a disadvantage, because I am well aware of the fact that I need to put in efforts in terms of my diet and exercise regime if I am ever going to get anywhere with my weight loss goals. However, some people are looking for a miracle pill and they will be disappointed in BioTrust Nutrition IC-5 in that case.
The Verdict
BioTrust Nutrition IC-5 is a supplement that anybody is able to take and that will be beneficial to anyone as well. The reality is that most of us have by now developed some form of insulin resistance and could therefore use a product that is able to overcome this – even if we don't intend to lose any weight. No, it isn't a miracle pill that will melt the weight off you overnight, and you must be dedicated and committed to changing your eating and exercise patterns. However, if you are willing to do that, I believe this product could really help you, which is why I recommend BioTrust Nutrition IC-5 to anyone.

Tag:Week 4
Posted on: October 7, 2009 1:51 pm
Week 4 Power Rankings
It seems like the worst keep on getting worse and the best keep on getting better! There are so many bad teams, I want to put them all in the 30-32 range. Oh well, here we go...
32) St. Louis Rams (30). They've solidified themselves as the garbage of the league. How do you only score 24 points in 4 games, and get shutout twice? I feel horrible for Steven Jackson.
31) Cleveland Browns (32). They showed some signs of life, but couldn't pull it out in overtime. Looks like Derek Anderson will continue to start, so what do you do with Quinn? How will the loss of Edwards affect them?
30) Kansas City Chiefs (31). Without the garbage time yards in the 4th quarter, this team did virtually nothing against the Giants. Cassel continues to show nothing, as does Larry Johnson. This team needs a makeover.
29) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (28). It was a close one against the Redskins, but they couldn't maintain their lead. A porous defense, and a lackluster offense spells goodbye playoffs.
28) Oakland Raiders (27). Darren McFadden wasn't able to put up anything against the league's worst run defense, and now they face the Giants without him. JaMarcus Russell is absolutely terrible, it's time to replace him.
27) Washington Redskins (29). Yeah, they won, but it was against a pitiful Bucs team, and they were losing most of the game. They just need more consistency, and let Campbell throw a little more.
26) Detroit Lions (26). They kept it close in the beginning, but their defense gave out. Giving up 48 points to a division rival does not bode well. Their offense looked pretty good, though, but let's hope Stafford can stay healthy.
25) Buffalo Bills (24). Not good. I'm not sure whether it's the playcalling, Trent Edwards, Dick Jauron, or a combination of these, but something is just not right. They must beat Cleveland if they want a shred of respect.
24) Tennessee Titans (19). Their season is officially over. Is it time to start Vince Young, or will that only worsen the problem? They could still bounce back to a .500 record.
23) Carolina Panthers (25). Hopefully the bye week will have strengthened this team. If they can get their passing game together, they might be able to make a run at the playoffs. Who would have thought Steve Smith would be the second best WR with his name?
22) Seattle Seahawks (21). If Hasselbeck returns, they can beat Jacksonville and Arizona back to back to even up their record. However, that defense needs to get itself together for that to happen.
21) Dallas Cowboys (14). What a dysfunctional group. TO was definitely not the problem. They need to get their act together if they want a chance against the Eagles and Giants. Romo also needs to be more accurate.
20) Jacksonville Jaguars (23). David Garrard showed up and took the pressure off of MJD. If they could have pulled out a win against the Colts in the season opener, they'd be winning the division!
19) Arizona Cardinals (20). They could quickly fall out of contention with a loss against the Texans. Hightower must put up some form of a rushing game in order to be successful. The Cards can't fall too far behind San Francisco.
18) Miami Dolphins (22). That running game is just unbelieveable. The Bills could do nothing to stop it. If Chad Henne can manage games well and play efficiently, there's no reason this team can't make a comeback.
17) Houston Texans (17). They beat Oakland. This week is where they decide if they want to break out from the middle of the pack against the Cardinals. If their defense shows up, they can win easily.
16) San Diego (7). What a disappointment. They have everything they need on offense, but their defense continues to give up games. Rivers is great, but not perfect.
15) Green Bay Packers (9). Rodgers played very well considering he had no protection. Once again, their defense failed them, and it was left on their quarterback's shoulders. They need this bye week.
14) Cincinnati Bengals (16). Carson Palmer is playing like they thought he would when he was drafted. Ochocinco has stepped up his game, and Cedric Benson played well. Plus, their defense is showing up this year!
13) Atlanta Falcons (12). This bye week will help them get over the loss to the Patriots, and hopefully prepare for the 49ers and Bears. If they can get their run defense issues settled, watch out.
12) Philadelphia Eagles (11). I still don't know what to make of this team because we've hardly seen their entire group of starters play. Tampa Bay and Oakland won't get in their way, so they'll probably be at 4-1 soon.
11) San Francisco 49ers (15). This is an extremely well-coached football team, all around. Though Crabtree may not make a large immediate impact, it's good that they got his deal settled so they can move on.
10) Chicago Bears (13). If you don't look at their first game, they're almost a perfect offense. If they can win more division games, they'll be on top of the NFC North come playoff time.
9) New York Jets (4). So it looks like Mark Sanchez is human. He'll have a poor performance every once and awhile this year, but he'll bounce back. Their defense still looks dominating, it's not easy to limit Drew Brees to 0 TDs.
8) Denver Broncos (18). Though I still don't think they're a top 5 team, they are definitely for real this year. That defense has been unbelieveable, even against a good Cowboys offense. They really needed to have Brandon Marshall step up.
7) New England Patriots (10). They really needed that win to establish themselves as still a dominant team in the NFL. Tom Brady continues to look better, and their defense has been playing decent.
6) Pittsburgh Steelers (8). Despite their record, they're one of the toughest teams in the NFL. Once Polumalu returns, they'll be back in Superbowl form. Also, their running game is back, and Big Ben is playing lights out football.
5) Baltimore Ravens (3). They're a bad call and a bad drop away from being undefeated. They'll win that game in January, and still have the division lead. Watch out for those tricky Bengals. Oh, and the Steelers are back.
4) Minnesota Vikings (6). Looks like the Favre acquisition paid off after all. He took the load off of Adrian Peterson. Their offensive line was truly amazing. This entire team is clicking right now.
3) New Orleans Saints (5). Once again, their defense showed up and took advantage of Sanchez's age. Brees didn't throw a TD for the second straight week, but he didn't need to.
2) Indianapolis Colts (2). How unbelieveable is Peyton Manning? I mean seriously, 300 yards in his first 4 games? The only thing I'd be worried about is their run defense.
1) New York Giants (1). As long as Eli Manning is their starting quarterback, they're likely to remain up top. Plantar Faciitis is a lingering injury, though, and could affect him down the stretch.

1st Quarter Predictions
During the preseason, I attempted to predict who would win each division and the wild card spots. Four weeks into the season, I'm going to do it again! This time I'll also include my early Superbowl picks.
AFC East: New York Jets (prev. Patriots). Yes, Sanchez was brought back down to earth last weekend, but their schedule is simple. I truly don't believe that the Patriots can pull this one out, for two reasons. First, the Jets have already beaten them, which already gives them a tie-breaker advantage. Second, the Patriots are a Mark Clayton drop and McKelvin fumble away from being 1-3, which would leave them tied with the Dolphins at the basement. I think the Jets will pull it out with a one win lead.
AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers (prev. Steelers). They're currently 3rd in their division, but they have the tools to bring this back around. They have the Lions and Browns back-to-back, which all but puts them at 4-2. Although the Bengals have looked good, each game has been close with them. They're certainly making strides, but they're still a year away from the playoffs in my eyes. The biggest challenge is the Ravens, and I think regardless of who wins the division, both will be making the playoffs.
AFC South: Indianapolis Colts (prev. Colts). This doesn't need a lot of justification, although they did almost lose to the Jaguars in the opener. If they can put away the Titans next week (and they certainly should), we can pretty much call this one.
AFC West: Denver Broncos?? (prev. Chargers). I guess? After beating the Cowboys I finally had to admit that this team was better than average. The Chargers should win this division in every single way, but they just can't put their defense together. Josh McDaniels will exploit that. I'll fully be able to make up my mind in the Week 6 Monday Night game, when they play the Chargers. Plus, the Chiefs and Raiders were knocked out of division contention for the next 3 years.
AFC Wildcards: Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots (prev. Texans and Titans). These two teams are as close as you can get to winning their respective divisions, but I think will ultimately fall short. The Patriots have too much experience to not make the playoffs, and Brady will only get more comfortable. Flacco is playing like a veteran, and the loss of so many players on their defense hasn't seemed to phase them.
AFC Championship Game: Colts over Steelers.
NFC East: New York Giants (prev. Giants). Their week 8 matchup against the Eagles will shed more light on this, but they're the class of the NFC East for now. They will need their rushing game to step up as the weather gets colder, especially now because of Eli's foot. We don't really know what to expect from the Eagles because they've had so many changes on offense so far. Now that McNabb and Westbrook should be both playing, we'll see if they have what it takes to challenge the Giants.
NFC North: Minnesota Vikings (prev. Packers). That Monday Night win went a long way for the Vikings. Not only do they have a 1 game lead on the Bears, but also the advantage in the tie-breaker if Green Bay battles back. They don't play Chicago until week 12, so this could be too close to call until then. Though a lot is riding on Favre's durability (which I think should be fine), they have Adrian Peterson to carry the majority of the load.
NFC South: New Orleans Saints (prev. Falcons). Though I don't believe that the Saints are as good as most people do, it's hard to argue with a 4-0 record. They have yet to play a division game (and don't play one until week 8), and the Panthers and Falcons will play them hard. That win against the Jets, especially against their great defense, was very nice. Weirdly enough, their defense has been stepping up when they need it, which is vastly different than last year.
NFC West: San Francisco 49ers (prev. Cardinals). I had a feeling that the Cardinals would be a bust, and it seems like they very well might be. The 49ers defense is great, and they've already won 3 division games. You can't get much better than that. Once Hasselbeck is healthy, the Seahawks might give them a run for their money, but I'm not positive that it's Seneca Wallace's fault that Seattle is performing poorly.
NFC Wildcards: Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears (prev. Eagles and Panthers). The Eagles, when healthy, are deadly. They torment teams late in the season, especially their division opponents. The Bears are sort of my dark horse to make the playoffs, although I don't think it's too much of a stretch. Jay Cutler has been playing very well, and their defense respectable.
NFC Championship Game: Giants over Vikings.

Canadiens and Flames New Uniforms!
According to NHLlogos.blogspot.com, The Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames have unveiled their new uniforms.The Habs jerseys are basically the exact same, with the exception of the away jersey looking somewhat more vintage with stripes added on the waist, red shoulders and red at the tip of the arms as well.
The Flames Jerseys feature the Alberta provincial flag on the right arm and the Canadian Flag on their left arm, which people seem to be scratching their heads about. In my opinion it is a great example of being proud to be a Canadian and I give a thumbs up to the new jerseys.

Cancer related jobsSave as Favorite
Hello, I am currently a college student and I have been going along slowly with my general education. The past week I have really thought about what I want to do and where I want to be. I am very interested in doing something cancer related. I want to work with kids but I have no idea where to start. What should I go to school for. Oncology? I am not so sure I want to be an actual doctor but is there any thing that I could do as a career?
A little about my self, I was thinking about majoring in Agriculture Science to become a teacher. I am actively involved with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I lost my grandfather in 2006 to leukemia. I currently work in an auto shop as a service writer full time and go to school. I live in Hemet, Ca. Any suggestions or ideas would help.

Oh, I think I miss understood this website. I see it is for cancer patients and their careers. I am hoping maybe you might still be able to direct me to someone that I may be able to talk with. Thanks! This is a great program you have. :)

Cancer and Careers Staff Comment:
Hi Amanda,
Thanks for reaching out. There are a number of routes that you can take in your career path that can lead you to working in a cancer related field. As you mention oncology is one of them; oncology nurses are particularly in demand, but there are also doctors, social workers, etc. If you are interested in entering the medical profession you might want to consider some of these avenues and speak with someone in your area who works in them or teaches at programs for them.
There are ways to get involved outside of the medical world as well. The other main cancer related field is cancer nonprofits. There are a variety of them out there (including ACS which you mention you've volunteered for) that hire in any number of capacities, from communications to fundraising to accounting and everything in between. A great website for these sorts of job postings is idealist.org.
I hope this helps!

Career Coach Comment:
Congratulations for finding a passion that may carry you through to a career. It is challenging to determine you life's work, but remember that each step you take can bring you closer to that dream job, though you may not start exactly where you want. I am intrigued by the fact that you thought about agricultural sciences. Because of that little tidbit in your first question, I want to encourage you to look into the biological sciences, genetics, pharmacy and research related fields, too. Sometimes the impact you can have on something like cancer can be indirect but very, very powerful. If sciences are your thing...do some exploring there. Caregiving professions are much in demand, but so are those that tackle the tough investigative issues.
While you are in school, be sure to visit the career counselors that your school probably employs to assist students determine majors or study and life plans. They can administer some vocational assessments that may also guide you.
And, do keep volunteering and talking to those who work in fields that interest you. Sometimes the best career coaching you can get is that which comes from people who have been there.
Best of luck to you in this exciting stage of discovery!

Cancer and Careers Staff Comment:
Hi Jamie,
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately this isn't our area of expertise, so we don't have a list of schools or programs that we can share with you. We would recommend searching for schools in the country that have strong programs in nursing (specifically oncology nursing) and pre-med programs.
I hope that this is helpful and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Marcia D. on Apr 21, 2013
Hi there,
I would like t know how a battling cancer patient comes about on continuing to work during the second half of treatment. I have been doing job interviews, sending resumes to every possible open job. I have an excellent resume with hands-on experience on what I do for a living (prior to cancer) and I have done all job interviews possible, recently, and receive praising on my career experience, but did not get the job....any of them. I need to continue to work ( and make money, buy food, pay rent (about to become homeless), pay hospital bills, etc). It seems no one cares, no one helps and no one employs even the patient who is striving on its treatment. How do I keep going with my life, financially, after I finish my treatment???Which financial Institution would help me with housing and food assistance until I get myself back to the work force? I need help!! I do not want (and cannot) become homeless while sick and in treatment for ovarian cancer!!! Please, help me!!!!
Colby C. on Jun 17, 2013
Did you ever find out what type of job this may be considered or what kind of schooling you would need for it? I want to do the same exact thing, so let me know what you did (:
Sarah Goodell on Jun 26, 2013
Cancer and Careers Staff Comment:
Hi Marcia,
I apologize for the extremely delayed response, we've been experiencing technical difficulties with this section of our website and I just saw your post. I have sent it off to one of our career coaches who will be in touch soon.
In the meantime, I would recommend reading the Financial Assistance for Those In Need section of our website, if you haven't already: http://www.cancerandcareers.org/en/at-work/Legal-and-Financial/Financial-Assistance-for-Those-in-Need
There are a number of resources listed there that may be of help to you. For food assistance I would recommend contacting your local Meals on Wheels (http://www.mowaa.org/) and see if they deliver meals to cancer patients.
I hope that this is helpful.
Sarah, Cancer and Careers Program Coordinator

Career Coach Comment:
Hi Marcia,
I understand your frustration. It sounds like you have been very active in your job search, but not getting the results you need and want. Let me make a couple of suggestions.
Since you have gotten a few interviews and received praise on your experience and expertise, but not been able to close the deal, you may want to see if you can circle back around with the company for some feedback if at all possible. Some times, depending upon your relationship with the recruiter, they are willing and open to giving you feedback. Also, conduct a mock interview session with a friend or former colleague and ask for feedback. This will give you another pair of eyes into what your interviewing persona is and how you are presenting yourself. Study some sample interview questions and make sure you prepare your responses in advance always trying to focus in on your accomplishments and the benefits you bring to the hiring organization.
You haven't mentioned networking, and if you're not doing it already, I'd encourage you to look for opportunities to do so. Look for networking groups and also reach out to friends and former colleagues to let them know you are looking. It's said that 70-80% of jobs are found via networking...so the majority of your time and effort should be spent there.
I hope this helps...good luck to you and let us know how things are progressing.
Kind regards,

Sufism is a way to recognize the radiance of the Source of Love behind the surface of all things. This divine light is revealed also through the living metaphors of the other great wisdom traditions. In this spirit of universality, we offer books and music to aid and inspire seekers from all walks of life on their spiritual paths to the One Source.
MECCAN REVELATIONS, Volume II
By Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi
edited by Michel Chodkiewicz
translated by Cyrille Chodkiewicz, Denis Gril, and David Streight
Price: $18.00
trade paper, 6 x 9, 269 pages
The continuation of our acclaimed English translation of Les Iluminations de la Meque. Volume II contains more of the "Greatest Shaykh's" wisdom for the first time in English. Subjects include: the gnostic and the sacred law, the mystic properties of the Quranic letters, the secrets of Forgiveness and the attainment of Divine Nearness.
From the Oral Tradition of the Glorious Messenger Muhammad
By Lex Hixon (Nur al-Jerrahi) and Fariha al-Jerrahi
Price: $10
Trade paper, 163 pages
This book is a treasury of the wisdom of Sufism, which is the path of transmutation and self-realization, opened by the Prophet Muhammad, may Divine peace be upon him, over 1400 years ago. Through merging into Love, the Sufi disappears from self and reappears as Divine Love alone.
These 101 diamonds of wisdom, collected by the great mystic and knower Ibn 'Arabi in the 13th Century, are direct inspirations into the heart of the Prophet from the Source of Love and Wisdom. They take the reader on a spiritual journey to ever-deepening levels of intimate knowing, which culminate in the radiance of Paradise, surrounded by companions of Love.
This modern version of Ibn al-'Arabi's collection of oral traditions is a contemplative expansion by a contemporary Sufi teacher, Lex Hixon (Nur al-Jerrahi) and his disciple, Fariha al-Jerrahi. In fresh, poetic language, and with their own mystical passion, they bring these sacred diamonds of the Islamic tradition to the modern seeker on the spiritual path to enlightenment.

AN EMERALD EARTH: Cultivating A Natural Spirituality And Serving Creative Beauty In Our World
By Felicia Sharifa Norton and Muinuddin Charles Smith
Price: $19.00
trade paper, 6 x 9, 192 pages
Drawing upon the universal teachings of the Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan on the "natural self" this book likens the unfolding of our being with the process of cultivating a field or garden. Unfolding of the natural self brings us to "An Emerald Earth" - a life in harmony and deep resonance with nature and Her elements, receptive to and serving the Creative Beauty that ever seeks to unfold.
"An Emerald Earth is an open invitation to those who are longing to rediscover the primordial harmony of the human soul and the natural world, both mirrors of each other and helpers to each other, both woven from the same cloth by the same Weaver. This wonderful book is constructed as an actual spiritual travel, using the stepping stones of meditation practices which guide the reader to experience how contemplation of the creation reveals human reality, and conversely how awakened humanity protects and elevates the creation to its own divine potential." - Shaykha Fariha Fatima al-Jerrahi

Quick note:
i never owned the n64 version, because i dont have an n64, i had a sega and a playstation one, so there is no point asking me about the n64 passcodes
Nice post, airborneSn1p3r! You may want to check this old post (possibly for any missed information) Lucasforums.com
thanks mate. most are here, for the pc i have only picked ones that i got to work, and there is very little point in posting two codes which do the same thing.
One note more: actually on PC YOU CAN TRY ANY PASSCODE EVEN WITHOUT KNOWING IT. RoguEdit 2.0 has a feature allowing you to turn on a passcode effect by ticking a corresponding cell. So, THERE IS A PASSCODE FOR KOELSCH THE CAR, and you can try it not using RogueCar. The difference is that you shadow will be correct in this case.

The season premiere of Doctor Who kicked off this Easter weekend, bringing Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman together again for an amazing showdown against... the internet?
Yup, the internet. The Doctor may be trapped in a monastery way back in 1207, desperately tracking down the mysterious Clara Oswin Oswald, but our girl Clara is back in the 21st century. And, within a few moments, the pair find themselves face-to-face as Clara enlists the Doctor's help in relocating the internet.
Too bad she's locked onto the wrong Wi-Fi cloud. And too bad THAT Data Cloud leads to an evil organisation, headed by the enigmatic Celia Imrie, hellbent on hoovering up human minds on behalf of a mysterious client.
After the Doctor rescues Clara from a robotic hacker, the pair head off on a mission to save the day (as the good doc is always so keen to do!) and - despite the fact Clara doesn't remember the Doctor at all - rekindle that flirtatious friendship we all so loved in the Christmas 2012 episode.
And, in an intriguing twist, it turns out that Clara is the girl to save the day - while the Doctor is off chatting to Celia Imrie via the various Wi-Fi possessed inhabitants of a nearby coffee shop, she's busily tracking down the Data Cloud controllers using her savvy techno skills. "Oswald win - Oswin!"
However it's not a complete case of girl power; after a hacker clone of the Doctor hoovers up her mind, it's down to the real deal to confront Celia Imrie (in the magnificent setting of The Shard) and persuade her to release all of the trapped souls of the Data Cloud. And he has a little something extra up his sleeve to help make her mind up...
All in all, this was a fantastic season premiere - think bucketloads of suspense, creepy robotic children, an awesome array of special effects and a better Doctor-companion relationship we've seen since the days of David Tennant and Billie Piper.
And, for all those thinking Jenna-Louise Coleman would just hop aboard the Tardis (or snogging booth, as she calls it) with Matt Smith, think again. The mysterious die-and-die-again girl requires some serious wooing - and she refuses to head off on another madcap adventure unless the Doctor returns and asks her again another day.
We imagine he will - there's something strange about Clara "Oswin" Oswald (as proven by the numerous flashback sequences of the episode) and, as mentioned, there's the spark of romance between the duo to contend with. Could the 11th Doctor be about to get his heart broken all over again?
Guess that's another reason to watch episode 2 next weekend...

First off, let me say that I am a Detroit Red Wings fan. My girlfriend lives just out of Detroit and everytime that I was able to go up and see her when she is home we are able to go and see Red Wings games. My favorite of these memories is the day that Steve Yzerman's jersey was retired, because it was just a cool experience.
Either way, last night was Game 5, played in Detroit and it was one of the best hockey games that I had seen in the past few years especially because it was a Stanley Cup game and it was an elimination game. Personally, for the final period I was yelling at the TV the entire time and was so happy when the Red Wings came from a goal down to take a one goal lead. I think that I have never screamed louder than when Pittsburgh scored with 34 seconds to go. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 34 SECONDS LEFT BEFORE THE RED WINGS HAVE THE CUP? That is crazy, although it was a good goal.
The overtime periods, all three of them, were great. However, I have to admit there were some WEAK penalties called on the Red Wings but the last penalty was justified. However, WHY THE HELL DO YOU STICK YOUR STICK IN SOMEONES FACE?? As soon as the double-minor penalty was called I knew that the Penguins were going to score.. But what are you going to do?
Here comes Game 6!! Get read for Detroit to bring home the cup!!

I say congrats to Detroit as well. I am a Canadiens fan from the days when I lived in Quebec, but I recognize when a team is an absolute beast. They were the team to beat all year, and unlike the Patriots, they followed through with a championship. They are loaded for bear and have enough future hall of famers on that team, to bring back memories of the old Canadiens, or the Edmonton Oilers of the 80's. So again congrats to all the Detroit Redwings fans! Let's hope for a resurgence of the Canadiens next year!!!!! Go Habs!!!!!
