Moving Forward(s)
Sessions will join former teammate and close friend, Mo Williams, in Cleveland's new-look backcourt. Daniel Gibson will get a shot at redemption under a new regime, Danny Green will try to make a sophomore splash, Anthony Parker will provide veteran leadership and Christian Eyenga will try to learn a new language and stay out of the D-League as a 21-year-old kid.
Almost all of the aforementioned guards will likely find a new gear this year – part of Byron Scott's vow to run. It won't exactly resemble "Showtime East" – (at least not yet) – but if Summer League was any indication, these guards will be asked to go hammer-down.
But what about the Cavaliers frontcourt? In the course of a single offseason, the squad saw the departure of two future Hall of Famers and the franchise's all-time games-played leader.
Two of those departed players – Shaquille O'Neal and Zydrunas Ilgauskas – were a combined 36 years of age and definitely in the twilight of their careers. The big men Cleveland acquired to help replace them the post – Ryan Hollins and Samardo Samuels – are mere NBA pups by comparison.
Like the changing of the guard, the Cavaliers will be focused on rebuilding and reshaping their frontcourt this fall. Here's a look at the Wine and Gold's bigs and what effect they might have this year …
But Andy was more than a defensive force last season. The Cavaliers were 10-1 when Varejao registered a double-double, he led the league by shooting .692 from the floor in March and Cleveland was a whopping +514 when the Wild Thing was on the floor, third-best in the NBA.
This year will be vastly different for Varejao – maybe more so than any other Cavalier. As the presumptive starting center, Anderson won't have Shaq to take attention or Big Z to step out and give him space. And of course, he won't be slipping off a screen to receive as perfect pass from Number 23.
But Andy's been hearing about what he can't do in this league since his arrival as an unknown in 2004, and not much has stopped him since.
After missing the end of his rookie season with a bad back – (and failing to crack Mike Brown's lineup before that) – the team was unsure about what would become of their 2008 first rounder. But after cracking the starting lineup against the Knicks early last year, Hickson didn't look back until his minutes dried up in the postseason.
In his 73 starts, the Cavaliers were 55-18, including 25-5 when he notched double-figures. He played in all but one game for Cleveland last year, but after averaging almost 21 minutes per contest during the regular season, logged just over seven minutes per contest in the playoffs, despite shooting 14-of-22 (.636) in those appearances.
Hickson could have taken the offseason off, but instead returned to play in Vegas Summer League, where he excelled – leading Cleveland at 19.3 ppg and showing off the makings of mid-range jumper. If he finds it, the Atlanta native could be in for another big leap.
Despite the unhappy ending, Jamison came to Cleveland as advertised. The Wine and Gold went 16-2 in his first 18 games as a starter and in the Cavs first round series against Chicago, averaged 19.4 ppg.
At 34, Jamison finds himself back in a familiar role. The Cavaliers are reshaping their squad and getting younger with every transaction. And this season, along with carrying a good deal of the scoring load, Jamison will be looked to as one of the team's leaders. Coach Scott has also broached the topic of bringing the former Tar Heel off the bench this season.
Replacing Shaq and Z is no easy task, but with Coach Scott's vow to run, neither player would have been the right fit. But, as the saying goes, 'you can't teach seven feet.' So, earlier this summer, the Wine and Gold dealt Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair for Sessions and athletic seven-footer, Ryan Hollins.
A fourth-year pro from UCLA, Hollins played all four years with the Bruins and was also an accomplished high-jumper at Westwood. The athletic 7-0, 230-pounder talked about his ability to run the floor when he was introduced at the Cleveland Clinic Courts. He'll likely get that chance as the first or second big off Byron Scott's bench.
Only 21 years of age, Samuels hopes to succeed in the steps of undersized, overachieving forwards like Paul Milsap and Carl Landry.
The young man knows how to carve out space for himself around the basket and could provide some muscle to a frontcourt that – aside from Leon Powe – could desperately use some.
But an entire offseason of further rest and rehab can do nothing but help the former Cal Bear.
Last year, Powe was a luxury item for the Wine and Gold – anything he gave Cleveland after knee surgery was gravy. This year, he'll be counted on to revive the player who helped Boston win the NBA title in 2007.
Graham, whose twin brother Stephen played for Cleveland in 2005, played in 63 games for Denver last year – starting 18 – and posting his highest career FG percentage at .520. Graham averaged 7.7 ppg one year earlier in Toronto. Graham is nothing if not consistent, averaging 6.0 ppg for his career – in both the regular season and playoffs.
The former Oklahoma State star has been a durable, consistent player who may not fill up the boxscore, but will give the Wine and Gold steady effort every night.
In the final week of the season, Moon started a pair of games, averaging 13.5 ppg and looking good on both ends of the floor. When the postseason tipped off, Moon stayed strong, shooting an even 50 percent (8-for-16) from beyond the arc. Moon shot .625 from the floor against Chicago, but – like J.J. Hickson – fell off Mike Brown's radar in the ensuing round and had his minutes halved.
This season, like many of his teammates, the former Globetrotter will attempt to re-establish himself and take his game to another level under a new regime.

Best Airport Transportation (2012)
The Airport Flyer (Route 150)
Ever visit a city where the public transportation actually works? Like Minneapolis, where people take the light rail from the airport? It feels like you've escaped from the hinterlands into the Capital. (Yes, that's a Hunger Games reference.) Miami will probably never have good public transportation, what with our perpetually inept and greasy-palmed collective of politicians. But depending upon your starting point, getting to Miami International Airport by bus is — believe it or not — pretty damn painless. The Airport Flyer, as the express route is called, travels from South Beach to the airport and back with only two stops: one in Mid-Beach and one at the Earlington Heights Metrorail Station. It costs $2.35, a far cheaper option than cabbing it or parking long-term. If you don't live on the Beach, your journey gets more complicated once you transfer at Earlington Heights — but hey, what do you think this is, Seattle?

Made my hair soft, but super puffy and frizzy. It smells like Pinesol, but the smell dissipates once it dries in hair. Not a good fit for my hair. This product does have good ingredients though. I gave it away.

Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine

Ok, so I am a hairstylist, and received this in a special buy at Ulta....I have medium fine, naturally wavy-curly hair....this was an excellent product for me- moisturizing, but light weight. I'm not sure if it would be moisturizing enough for someone with coarse, drier hair though.....price is crazy though, and I am unable to find it locally at cost with my license....bummer....;)
Age: 30-35
Skin: Oily, Medium, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium

Meh. Although this does soften and added shine, it could be a tad more moisturizing. It adds a bit of volume and is not greasy or tacky feeling on the hair. It has a strong floral scent initially, but it fades. the bad thing is that I had a lot of surface frizz. I might reevaluate this during cooler weather, but so far I will not repurchase.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine

I was looking for a leave-in to both moisturize (it does fantastically) and manage frizz (great job). I use Wen cleanser about 75% of the time and though it says you can you absolutely SHOULD NOT use WEN as your leave-in conditioner because it contains a preservative that all shampoos have which will create sensitization if it is left in. So this follows my WEN cleanse and it idoes a superior job. My hair is fine and wavy and this does not weigh it down but it gives me a lot of moisture.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm

I have been trying to find the right product for my newly curly hair for a year now. I finished chemo in February 2012
I think this is the one that works for me. It works as a stying aid to encourage curls and waves in my previously straight hair.
I have purchased enough hair products to open a CVS. Never knew it was so much work :)
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I don't find this particularly moisturizing; I use it more as a styling aid than as a conditioner.
I have fine, straight, highlighted shoulder-length hair. I wash it 2-3 times/week with Alterna moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and it's in fairly good condition. But it tends to lose body a few hours after I blow it dry and generally looks limp and straggly by the end of a work day. In the past I've used Bumble & Bumble Texture, but this can make my hair look and feel dry, so that product is more style specific. Otherwise, I don't use styling products.
I find Ouidad Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner is a great replacement for a styling product in fall/winter, when the air is dryer (I suppose if I lived in a western state where the air is dryer, it might be useful year-round); it doesn't have the same effect for me in humid conditions. In my hair, this product creates a bit of texture and volume that keeps my hair from looking limp for 1-2 days. Doesn't weigh down my slippery, fine hair. Caveat - I don't like the polished look with my hair, and I find this suits a somewhat-undone look. I haven't used it when going for a polished look, so can't attest to its effectiveness in that situation.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

I LOVE this stuff. My hair is thick and prone to frizz, and when it gets too dry it gets very tangled. Typically after washing my hair I put in the GVP straightening serum, blow dry my roots and let the bulk of my hair air-dry. (I don't usually blow dry my hair as I'm growing it out for a friend who needs a wig made, and I want to keep my hair as healthy as possible.) I got a HUGE sample of this from Sephora and HOLY COW. I towel dried my hair, finger-combed this leave in conditioner through my hair and let it dry. My hair dried to a silky soft, detangled, smooth finish. And it STAYS that way for DAYS. I will definitely, definitely repurchase this when my sample runs out. I think what makes this work so well for me is that I have really thick, wavy hair, but also that I let it air-dry. I can't really understand all the bad reviews for this product.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Now let me start by saying that the only reason I will not be repurchasing this product isn't because I didn't like it, I found a better wayyyyyyy less expensive product and you get more of it. Now with that said, I really do like this product. It could be a bit more moisturizing but it's ok. I don't use a whole lot and it made my curls incredibly soft! The smell doesn't bother me much but it could be better. If it wasn't this expensive I would probably continue to buy it but I think for what I paid this bottle needs to be A LOT bigger IMO
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Black, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
I'm not fond of how this product smells. It reminds me of men's shaving cream, in not the best of ways. While this isn't the best at giving my curls moisture, my hair does seem to curl better when using this. The bottle lasts forever, which is good because how pricey this is. I was expecting more from this. It's a bit heavy.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This product didn't really do anything for my hair. If anything, left my hair feeling heavy and sticky after. I've used other leave-in conditioners that were amazing, so maybe this is just not for me.

Article: Cervical Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula with rapidly progressive brainstem dysfunction due to venous congestion: A case report[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas(S-dAVFs)are rare vascular malformations of the spine. We experienced a case that presented with rapidly progressive brainstem dysfunction due to venous congestion of cervical dAVFs. A 56-year-old man diagnosed with cervical dAVF four years prior presented with gait disturbance and abnormal thermal nociception on his right side. In addition to the high-intensity lesion from the lower pons to the medulla oblongata on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging demonstrated cerebral infarction of the left ventrolateral medulla oblongata. Left vertebral angiography revealed that a feeding artery supplied by the radicular artery at the C4 level formed a fistula with the dilated ascending anterior perimedullary vein. We made a diagnosis of venous congestion due to cervical dAVFs. Numbness on the left upper limb occurred five days after the first symptom. Subsequently, hemiparesis on the left upper limb and swallowing disturbance occurred two weeks after the first symptom. The patient underwent surgical ligation of the dilated abnormal vein, with gradual improvement of his symptoms. Myelopathy due to venous congestion of S-dAVFs usually progresses slowly for several years. However, this case report warns about the possibility that some cases of S-dAVF with rapidly exacerbated symptoms may require prompt therapy.
Article: Preoperative Embolization for a Cauda Equina Hemangioblastoma—A Case Report with Literature Review—[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Spinal hemangioblastomas are benign, and total surgical resection is the standard treatment method used. However, hypervascular tumors may have excessive operative blood loss if the tumors are divided. We encountered a case of cauda equina hemangioblastoma with extraordinary blood supply, which was treated with preoperative embolization. A 49-year-old woman with von Hippel-Lindau disease who had undergone multiple surgeries for intracranial/extracranial hemangioblastomas had lumbago and leg pain. Magnetic resonance images revealed intradural spinal tumors at the L4-S1 vertebral level, with remarkable gadolinium enhancement. The patient was referred to our hospital, after a plan of total resection had been abandoned elsewhere because of the high flow feeders and high pressure of the tumors. Preoperative embolization was performed with consequent disappearance of the arterial blood supply to the tumor. Two days later, the tumor was resected subtotally with reduced tension and a little blood loss. The patient's symptoms resolved soon after surgery. Selective preoperative embolization for a spinal hemangioblastoma with a rich blood supply is a valid option as an adjuvant to the complete surgical resection of a tumor.

ABSTRACT: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder, which presents with various forms of seizures. Traditional treatments, including medication using antiepileptic drugs, remain the treatment of choice for epilepsy. Recent development in surgical techniques and approaches has improved treatment outcomes. However, several epileptic patients still suffer from intractable seizures despite the advent of the multimodality of therapies. In this article, we initially provide an overview of clinical presentation of epilepsy then describe clinically relevant animal models of epilepsy. Subsequently, we discuss the concepts of regenerative medicine including cell therapy, neuroprotective agents, and electrical stimulation, which are reviewed within the context of our data.
Article: Proximal Vertebral Body Fracture after 4-Level Fusion Using L1 as the Upper Instrumented Vertebra for Lumbar Degenerative Disease: Report of 2 Cases with Literature Review[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Some cases with lumbar degenerative diseases require multi-level fusion surgeries. At our institute, 27 and 4 procedures of 3- and 4-level fusion were performed out of a total 672 posterior lumbar interfusions (PLIFs) on patients with lumbar degenerative disease from 2005 to 2010. We present 2 osteoporotic patients who developed proximal vertebral body fracture after 4-level fusion. Both cases presented with gait disability for leg pain by degenerative lumbar scoliosis and canal stenosis at the levels of L1/2-4/5. After 4-level fusion using L1 as the upper instrumented vertebra, proximal vertebral body fractures were found along with the right pedicle fractures of L1 in both cases. One of these patients, aged 82 years, was treated as an outpatient using a hard corset for 24 months, but the fractures were exacerbated over time. In the other patient, posterolateral fusion was extended from Th10 to L5. Both patients can walk alone and have been thoroughly followed up. In both cases, the fracture of the right L1 pedicle might be related to the subsequent fractures and fusion failure. In consideration of multi-level fusion, L1 should be avoided as an upper instrumented vertebra to prevent junctional kyphosis, especially in cases with osteoporosis and flat back posture.
Article: Urinary 8-OHdG Elevations in a Partial Lesion Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease Correlate With Behavioral Symptoms and Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Depletion[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Increased oxidative stress contributes to pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is the oxidation product most frequently measured as an indicator of oxidative DNA damage. Several studies have shown increased 8-OHdG in PD patients. There are few basic laboratory data examining 8-OHdG levels in animal models of PD. In this study, we utilized hemiparkinsonian model of rats induced by intrastriatal injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). The urinary 8-OHdG level was measured in relation to behavioral and pathological deficits arising from 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxic effects on the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway. All rats were subjected to a series of behavioral tests for 42 days after 6-OHDA injection. We collected urine samples with subsequent measurement of 8-OHdG level using ELISA kits. For immunohistochemical evaluation, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) staining was performed. Significant increments in urinary 8-OHdG level were observed continuously from day 7 until day 35 compared to control group, which showed a trend of elevation as early as day 3. Such elevated urinary 8-OHdG level significantly correlated with all of the behavioral deficits measured here, suggesting that urinary 8-OHdG level provides a good index of severity of parkinsonism. Urinary 8-OHdG level also had a significant positive correlation with the survival rate of dopaminergic fibers or neurons, advancing the concept that oxidative stress during the early phase of 6-OHDA neurotoxicity may correspond to disease progression closely approximating neuronal degeneration in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. The present results demonstrate that alterations in urinary 8-OHdG level closely approximate onset and disease progression in PD. J. Cell. Physiol. 226: 1390–1398, 2011. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

ABSTRACT: A 27-year-old woman presented with a case of primary medulla oblongata germinoma manifesting as sleep apnea, aspiration pneumonia, and left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a dorsal mass in the medulla oblongata with heterogeneous enhancement by gadolinium (Gd). Emergent biopsy and foramen magnum decompression with C1 laminectomy were performed because of rapid worsening of her symptoms. The histological diagnosis was germinoma. Subsequently she received chemoradiation therapy with subsequent amelioration of her neurological deficits and disappearance of enhancement on MR imaging with Gd. Primary medulla oblongata germinoma is rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively. However, correct diagnosis and subsequent adequate chemoradiation therapy is possible by understanding the common characteristics of the disease. Germinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of midline medullary lesion in young patients, and biopsy should be considered.
Article: Long-Term Effect of External Beam Radiotherapy of Optic Disc Hemangioma in a Patient with von Hippel-Lindau Disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An 18-year-old woman with a 2-year history of hypertension and headache was diagnosed with noradrenalin-secreting bilateral adrenal pheochromocytomas with paragangliomas in the background of von Hippel-Lindau disease with family histories and a missense mutation, 712C to T (Arg167Trp) in the VHL gene. She had optic disc hemangioma in the left eye which gradually enlarged and caused serous retinal detachment on the macula in one year. Low-dose external beam radiation (20 Gy) was administered to the left eye using a lens-sparing single lateral technique. She underwent craniotomy for cerebellar hemangioblastoma at the age of 22 years and total pancreatectomy for multiple neuroendocrine tumors at the age of 24 years. In the 6-year follow-up period after the radiotherapy, the optic disc hemangioma gradually reduced in size and its activity remained low, allowing good central vision to be maintained. External beam radiation is recommended as a treatment option for the initial therapy for optic disc hemangioma.

ABSTRACT: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-neuroradiological entity with typical symptoms and symmetric high-signal intensity lesions in the bilateral parieto-occipital lobes on T2-weighted or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI. We described three patients with PRES of varied etiologies. Patient 1 was a young man with severe hypertension who presented with headache and visual disturbance. Patient 2 had leukemia and was receiving umbilical cord blood cell transplantation with immunosuppressant, and developed PRES with convulsions. Patient 3 was a pregnant woman with renal failure, who repeatedly developed PRES with convulsions. FLAIR and apparent diffusion coefficient mapping were useful in detecting PRES lesions in our patients, although diffusion-weighted imaging and CT scans had limited use in the diagnosis. Adequate and prompt treatment with antihypertensive medication immediately ameliorated the symptoms, with improvement of abnormal MRI findings. In previous reports, delayed diagnosis might have affected the prognosis. Further work on the clinical manifestations of PRES and its therapy is required.

ABSTRACT: A case of a Chiari malformation with an extraordinarily thick occipital bone is described. The thick occipital bone might make the posterior fossa narrow with consequent herniation of the cerebellar tonsils to the foramen magnum and formation of a syrinx. At dural plasty, well-developed marginal and occipital sinuses should be deliberately handled with the preservation of normal venous drainage. This case gives us the essence of the occurrence mechanisms of Chiari malformation and foramen magnum decompression.
Article: Posterior Decompression of Far-Out Foraminal Stenosis Caused by a Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 29-year-old man presented with a rare case of far-out foraminal stenosis with radiculopathy caused by osteophyte formation secondary to an anomalous articulation between the transverse process and the sacral ala. Diagnosis of unilateral far-out foraminal entrapment of the L5 spinal nerve below a transitional vertebra (TV) depended on selective radiculography and nerve root block. Computed tomography after selective radiculography clearly demonstrated foraminal entrapment of the L5 nerve root via the osteophytes. The patient underwent posterior decompression by resection of the osteophytes using an operating microscope and experienced good relief of radicular pain. This case illustrates the effectiveness and some refinements of posterior decompression for radicular pain caused by far-out foraminal stenosis below a TV and compression of the L5 spinal nerve.
Article: Development of Cervical Subarachnoid Hematoma Following Coronal Artery Stenting for Angina Pectoris[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 78-year-old man presented with a rare massive subarachnoid hematoma (SAH) in the cervical spine after coronary stenting for angina pectoris. Chest pain and electrocardiographic changes were resolved after administration of coronary dilator and coronary stenting, but shoulder pain persisted. At 6 hours after stenting, left hemiparesis was found with deteriorated shoulder pain. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed massive SAH in the cervical spine. Emergent hematoma evacuation with laminoplasty was performed because of rapid progression of the hemiparesis and pain. The hemiparesis was ameliorated after surgery. Spinal hematoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients receiving anti-platelet or anti-coagulant drugs with rapid progression of pain.
Article: Noonan syndrome with occipito-atlantal dislocation and upper cervical cord compression due to C1 dysplasia and basilar invagination: Case report[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 11-year-old female with Noonan syndrome presented with occipito-atlantal dislocation and upper cervical cord compression due to C1 dysplasia and basilar invagination. Computed tomography (CT) of the cervical spine showed dysplasia of the C1 posterior arch and bilateral dislocation of the occipito-atlantal joints. Dynamic lateral radiography revealed no instability at the occipito-atlantal joints. CT also demonstrated basilar invagination. The tip of the odontoid process extended above the Chamberlain line by 9 mm and the McGregor line by 10 mm. Whole spinal radiography showed no scoliosis. C1 laminectomy was performed with instrumented occipito-C2 fixation. The postoperative course was uneventful, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed sufficient decompression of the upper cervical cord at 2 months after surgery. CT demonstrated solid bony fusion between the occipital bone and C2 at 8 months after surgery. Cervical neuraxial malformations are rare in patients with Noonan syndrome.

ABSTRACT: The "mist irrigation system" (MIS) is a new and effective method at drilling in spinal surgery. In this report, MIS is introduced with subsequent demonstration that visibility at drilling is better with MIS because of the reduction of smoke, blood and irrigation water. Additionally using a 5 mm-thick acryl plate, the time for perforation by drilling and temperature after drilling with MIS, drip-irrigation (DI) or no irrigation, were measured respectivily. Using the acryl plate significantly reduced drilling time and high temperature after perforation in the group without irrigation were recognized, compared to cases in the groups with MIS or DI. The results might indicate that the high temperature of the drill might melt the acryl plate immediately. As a conclusion, MIS might help surgeons to drill in the deep and narrow operative field. Additionally it might help to reduce the risks of heat injury to neuronal tissue by cooling efficiently.

Article: Striatal Stimulation Nurtures Endogenous Neurogenesis and Angiogenesis in Chronic-Phase Ischemic Stroke Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to treat a variety of neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease. In this study, we explored the effects of striatal stimulation (SS) in a rat model of chronic-phase ischemic stroke. The stimulation electrode was implanted into the ischemic penumbra at 1 month after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and thereafter continuously delivered SS over a period of 1 week. Rats were evaluated behaviorally coupled with neuroradiological assessment of the infarct volumes using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at pre- and post-SS. The rats with SS showed significant behavioral recovery in the spontaneous activity and limb placement test compared to those without SS. MRI visualized that SS also significantly reduced the infarct volumes compared to that at pre-SS or without SS. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed a robust neurogenic response in rats that received SS characterized by a stream of proliferating cells from the subventricular zone migrating to and subsequently differentiating into neurons in the ischemic penumbra, which exhibited a significant GDNF upregulation. In tandem with this SS-mediated neurogenesis, enhanced angiogenesis was also recognized as revealed by a significant increase in VEGF levels in the penumbra. These results provide evidence that SS affords neurorestoration at the chronic phase of stroke by stimulating endogenous neurogenesis and angiogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a well neurotrophic factor with neuroprotective potentials for various diseases in the central nervous system. However several previous studies demonstrated that BDNF might deteriorate symptoms for epilepsy model of animals by progression of abnormal neurogenesis. We hypothesized that continuous administration of BDNF at low dose might be more effective for epilepsy model of animals because high dose of BDNF was used in many studies. BDNF-secreting cells were genetically made and encapsulated for transplantation. Rats receiving BDNF capsule showed significant amelioration of seizure stage and reduction of the number of abnormal spikes at 7 days after kainic acid administration, compared to those of control group. The number of BrdU and BrdU/doublecortin positive cells in the hippocampus of BDNF group significantly increased, compared to that of control group. NeuN positive cells in the CA1 and CA3 of BDNF group were significantly preserved, compared to control group. In conclusion, low dose administration using encapsulated BDNF-secreting cells exerted neuroprotective effects with enhanced neurogenesis on epilepsy model of rats. These results might suggest the importance of the dose and administrative way of this neurotrophic factor to the epilepsy model of animals.

ABSTRACT: A 2-month-old infant presented with a cervical intramedullary spinal cord cavernous angioma manifesting as left hemiparesis caused by hematomyelia. Osteoplastic laminotomy of the cervical spine was carried out with subsequent microsurgical excision of the intramedullary spinal cord cavernous angioma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed no residual tumor. At 25 months after the surgery, she presented no neurological deficit without recurrence and cervical deformity. This case of infantile intramedullary spinal cord cavernous angioma presenting with cervical hematomyelia shows osteoplastic laminotomy of the cervical spine might be helpful to prevent consequent cervical deformity in pediatric cases.

I am kinda down lately because I am reading all about the babies in the Dec 2009 board where DD was suppossed to be born but she was born in Nov instead. Well I am seeing all these babies doing things that she can't do yet and it just bothers me that she can't hold her bottle yet or even roll over or even try eating her formula with a fast nipple yet but I know she will start doing these things eventually but this will get better I know...Thanks for listening to my venting...

My LO was supposed to be a Christmas day baby in 2007. He decided to arrive on 10.29.07 instead. I had to stay off of the December birth board for almost a year (at least the first 6 months) so as not to drive myself crazy and upset myself. I stuck mainly with the preemie board. I found a group of moms in the November board that I clicked with and its been a nice mix for me. Now that my LO is almost 2.5 I can say that for the most part he is caught up. We have some residual speech and feeding/vomit issues but, otherwise is pretty typical and BUSY! I still worry about ADD and hyperactivity but, there is not much I can do about that now.
I would say that catch up time took him a good 15-18 months. I still could see huge differences even at 1 year. The best thing for me was having him in early intervention. He qualified for PT/OT the first year, OT and special ed teacher the second and now sees just a speech therapist. Its given me peace of mind knowing they are helping to get him where he should be and that they monitor his progress at least 2x a year to make sure he is on track (or getting on track) with his peers. You may want to ask you pediatrician for information about how to access this resource in your state.
Good luck to you and your little girl!

Hugs! These preemies just seem to "get it" in their time. On so many things with DD, it just seemed like the light switch was turned on suddenly. Hang in there - she'll catch up!!! :)

My son was born Nov 2 at 36 wk. He still can't roll over while most babies born way after him are. My doctor said not to worry that he will do things at his own pace. Try not to freak out. He is also still on the slow nipple and his doctor said that some full term babies stay will the slow nipple so try not to worry. I did try the med flow one and he spit up alot afterwards so I went back to the slow flow.

Hey there, I'm sorry you are down,I know I am very anxious about milestones.
BUT, really babies born in December 09 are holding bottles? I think it seems really early to be doing that, maybe there are just some excitable mummies prone to exaggerating? Or maybe I am just a clueless FTM, but I still think most babies don't do that until later! Maybe 6/7 months? I feel that you also have time for the rolling over, before you get too worried. I know all babies are different and can accomplish things at that different rates, but try not to pay too much attention to what babies are accomplishing on your birth board, it is not fair to you or your LO. I don't go near my BB.
Anyhow, good luck
My guys were due 10/22 and born 7/16. They are on target as per ECI and receive no therapy. They are eating solids according to chronological age and devouring them. I can hold J by one hand while he stands up. S can turn pages in paper books. They amaze me all the time.
...and they cannot hold their bottles yet. Sarah just graduated to a slow flow and Jonathan to medium. Fast? No way. They've only recently started rolling over, which is very age appropriate for adjusted age.
I think you are worrying way too soon, and you will find many things to marvel about as the days go by, bottle holding or no bottle holding.
PS I hope you don't take this to read that I think your feelings are not legitimate. Just wanted to encourage you!
Lisa, blessed single mama through embryo donation at 25w6d on 7/16/09 to:
Sarah, 1 lb 13 oz. 122 days in NICU
Jonathan, 1 lb 14 oz. 118 days in NICU
I ditched my original birth board, as well. I just don't need to get down about how DS is doing compared to full term babies; I have so many other things to worry about. Try taking a break from them for a while and see how you feel.

Symantec: Mac Virus, Hacker Attacks on the Rise
TMO Reports - Symantec: Mac Virus, Hacker Attacks on the Rise
by , 10:45 AM EST, March 23rd, 2005
With the introduction and popularity of Mac OS X, Apple Computer has become an increasingly bigger target for viruses and hacker attacks, according to a report from anti-virus software vendor Symantec Corp.
"Contrary to popular belief, the Macintosh operating system has not always been a safe haven from malicious code," said the 96-page report, entitled the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, obtained by The Mac Observer. "It is now clear that the Mac OS is increasingly becoming a target for the malicious activity that is more commonly associated with Microsoft and various Unix-based operating systems. Symantec believes that as the popularity of Apple's new platform continues to grow, so too will the number of attacks directed at it."
"I think it's fair to say that Mac users today shouldn't believe they're impervious to attacks," David Cole, Symantec product management security response director, told TMO.
More Macs sold = more security concerns
While Mr. Cole admitted there is no actual data to prove a connection, he said say "it's reasonable to assume that with in increase in market share and popularity comes an increased interest by the hacker attacker community to go after the Mac. No platform is absolutely free of vulnerabilities and no users at the end of the day are impervious because they use a particular product."
The report said an increase in market share for the Mac will be impacted by sales of the much lower priced Mac mini -- a US$500 computer sold without a display, keyboard or mouse -- which may be purchased by less "security-savvy" users. "As a result, the number of vulnerabilities can be expected to increase, as will malicious activity that targets them," the report stated.
The report was clear to say that while the number of vulnerabilities in Mac OS X is expected to increase, they will likely be outnumbered by vulnerabilities in other operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, for some time to come.
Symantec said it had documented and Apple had confirmed 37 "high-severity vulnerabilities" in Mac OS X since July of last year.
"The appearance of a rootkit called Opener in October 2004, serves to illustrate the growth in vulnerability research on the OS X platform," the report stated. "Additionally, multiple remote and local vulnerabilities have been disclosed that affect both the server and desktop versions of OS X. Vulnerabilities in the Apple windowing system and development kit and in the Apple default Apache configurations are two of the nine vulnerabilities (not all of which were high severity) for which Apple released patches."
A rootkit is a hacker security tool that captures passwords and message traffic to and from a computer. The kit is a collection of tools that allows a hacker to create a backdoor into a system, collect information on other systems on the network and mask the fact that the system is compromised.
Browser attacks very high
Mr. Cole said the biggest "holes" for hackers to attack are vulnerabilities in browsers, where 70% of reported vulnerabilities were considered easy to exploit.
"We saw a large increase over the past six months in security attacks as the market share for Mozilla-based browser climbed," he said. "Their have been 21 documented security concerns with Mozilla in the past six months, which is more than (Microsoft) Internet Explorer."
"This is a massive increase over the single Mozilla vulnerability documented in the previous period and the seven noted in the same reporting period one year ago," the report said.
Between July 1 and December 31, 2004, Symantec documented 13 vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft IE, nine considered high severity. Six vulnerabilities were reported in Opera and none in Apple's Safari browser.
The report called the zero number of confirmed Safari vulnerabilities "somewhat surprising given the increasing popularity of Mac OS X," but suggested that as the browser grows in usage, so will the attacks.
Mr. Cole: Common sense fends off attacks
Mr. Cole said the classic and basic rules still apply to fend off virus and hacker attacks.
"Keep your operating system up to date, your browser to date and your virus definitions up to date," he said. "If you do that, your chances of having problems are minimal."

Article: Hydrogenophaga carboriunda sp. nov., a Tertiary Butyl Alcohol-Oxidizing, Psychrotolerant Aerobe Derived from Granular-Activated Carbon (GAC)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from a mixed culture that degraded tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) in a granular-activated carbon (GAC) sample from a Biological-GAC reactor. Strain YZ2(T) was assigned to the Betaproteobacteria within the family Comamonadaceae based on 16S rRNA gene similarities. The nearest phylogenetic relative (95.0 % similarity) with a valid name was Hydrogenophaga taeniospiralis. The DNA G+C content was 66.4 mol%. DNA:DNA hybridization indicated that the level of relatedness to members of the genus Hydrogenophaga ranged from 1.1 to 10.8 %. The dominant cellular fatty acids were: 18:1 w7c (75 %), 16:0 (4.9 %), 17:0 (3.85 %), 18:0 (2.93 %), 11 methyl 18:1 w7c (2.69 %), Summed Feature 2 (2.27 %), and 18:0 3OH (1.35 %). The primary substrate used was TBA, which is a fuel oxygenate and groundwater contaminant. YZ2(T) was non-motile, without apparent flagella. It is a psychrotolerant, facultative aerobe that grew between pH 6.5 and 9.5, and 4 and 30 °C. The culture grew on and mineralized TBA at 4 °C, which is the first report of psychrotolerant TBA degradation. Hydrogen was used as an alternative electron donor. The culture also grew well in defined freshwater medium with ethanol, butanol, hydroxy isobutyric acid, acetate, pyruvate, citrate, lactate, isopropanol, and benzoic acid as electron donors. Nitrate was reduced with hydrogen as the sole electron donor. On the basis of morphological, physiological, and chemotaxonomic data, a new species, Hydrogenophaga carboriunda is proposed, with YZ2(T) as the type strain.
Article: Aerobic biodegradation of tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) by psychro- and thermo-tolerant cultures derived from granular activated carbon (GAC)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) is a metabolite of methyl tert-butyl ether and is itself possibly a fuel oxygenate. The goals of this study were to enrich and characterize TBA-degrading micro-organism(s) from a granular activated carbon (GAC) unit currently treating TBA. The results reported herein describe the first aerobic, TBA-degrading cultures derived from GAC. Strains KR1 and YZ1 were enriched from a GAC sample in a bicarbonate-buffered freshwater medium. TBA was degraded to 10% of the initial concentration (2-5 mM) within 5 days after initial inoculation and was continuously degraded within 1 day of each re-amendment. Resting cell suspensions mineralized 70 and 60% of the TBA within 24 h for KR1 and YZ1, respectively. Performance optimization with resting cells was conducted to investigate kinetics and the extent of TBA degradation as influenced by oxygen, pH and temperature. The most favorable temperature was 37 degrees C; however, TBA was degraded from 4 to 60 degrees C, indicating that the culture will sufficiently treat groundwater without heating. This is also the first report of psychrotolerant or thermotolerant TBA biodegradation. The pH range for TBA degradation ran from 5.0 to 9.0. Phylogenetic data using a partial 16S rRNA gene sequence (570 bases) suggest that the primary members of KR1 and YZ1 include uncharacterized organisms within the genera Hydrogenophaga, Caulobacter, and Pannonibacter.

I've been to the Burn many times, 14 or 15 I guess, but it looks like I won't be able to get tickets this year. I'm the only adult in my family, with two nieces and their three friends all dying to go, but there doesn't seem to be any way I can buy that many tickets. I couldn't really afford the pre-sale, and didn't realize that might have been my only chance to get enough tickets until it was too late.
I operate Rats Bikes and these kids have been around Burners and heard all about the playa for years, and they love it deeply. Now they're old enough to go but... How do I tell them most of their friends won't be able to go because I can't buy enough tickets?? Am I overlooking something here???

Prosecutors will seek death for two men
Updated: January 7, 2004, 7:56 PM ETAssociated Press
MESA, Ariz. -- Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty for two men accused of killing Cincinnati Reds outfielder Dernell Stenson.
Deputy Maricopa County Attorney Catherine Hughes said in court Tuesday that prosecutors had filed paperwork to seek the death penalty against Reginald Riddle, 19. She said they intend to do the same for David Griffith, 20. Both are charged with first-degree murder.
County attorney spokesman Bill FitzGerald confirmed Wednesday that paperwork had ...

This green tea is amazing. The flavor is the most authentic and tastes full, rich, and smoothing. It is not bitter and I can get 4-5 cups of tea from one tea bag. It's really full-leaf as the leaves open in the teabag. I love this company and love all their teas. The green jasmine is amazing as well. I keep coming back to this tea as the flavor is worth the price!

Great taste and aroma. I drink it first thing in the morning and it makes me regular.

Lots of Construction
Favorite thing: During my brief visit of the city of Roermond, I noticed that there were a lot of construction sites. One big project was in the vicinity of the MacArthur Glen Designer Outlet Center. There were also construction sites for luxury homes in the vicinity of the harbor.
Roermond Was a Member of the Hanseatic League
Favorite thing: In 1441, Roermond became a member of the Hanseatic League, a former economic and defensive confederation of cities in northern Europe. Roermond was part of the Rhine, Westphalia,
Netherlands circle of the League.
Music pavillion
Favorite thing: If I remember correctly this late neo gothic pavillion is a nice remainder of the old days....hahah I d better go look it up, this does not sound right.
I had a problem taking this photograph for the local political parties had put up stands to promote their views. Due to this I had little room to take this photograph from a decent enough angle.

- Architecture
The P.J.H. Cuypers walk
Favorite thing: The tourist-office VVV sells a small booklet about architect P.J.H. Cuypers and his work in Roermond. Actually the architect didn't do a lot in his city so objects by his followers and his son are included as well.
Although called a walk there are no directions included so you need a map and some time to figure out your way. You do get to see a lot of the city, including interesting places you probably wouldn't find by coincidence, so I recommend the walk also when you're not interested in Cuypers but like to see old buildings anyway. I'm not sure if they sell the booklet in other languages than Dutch too, but given the increasing international interest in Cuypers's work it would seem smart if they do.

The local beers
Favorite thing: Brewery St. Christoffel was founded in 1986 and quickly established itself a place on the market of better beers. Christoffel Blond was the first beer made by this brewery, although it was simply called Christoffel then, and it was awarded the prize of Best bottled beer of The Netherlands three times. Its alcohol level is 6% and it has a hoppy flavour that is unusual for a beer from this country.
Robertus is the second beer. It is as strong as the Blond but more dark in colour. Because of the use of darker malt taste is a bit more sweet.
Both beers are made according to the German Rheinheitsgebot, which means malt, hop and water are the only ingredients. The beers are available in bottles of 0,33 and 2 liters. many bars in Roermond and surrounding area serve these beers, while many shops sell them. They are also exported to several countries.
A few years ago Christoffel also offered a mix of beer and apple juice. I don't think it was much of a success.
- Beer Tasting
Favorite thing: I guess this is the weekly market at the square in front of the city hall.
My bad luck for I was limited in possibilies taking a photograph of city hall.
- Arts and Culture
Room with a view
Favorite thing: We had passed the house before but only when we walked back to the car over the market I noticed this great adding...wow if only I could have a look inside!
- Architecture
Market and tower
Favorite thing: The view not towards city hall but towards St Christoffel cathedral. Notice the blue-ish house on the left, it s new archtitecture.
- Arts and Culture
- Photography
Street corner with Maria statue
Favorite thing: On our walk passed monuments we came by this Maria statue.....tho this religion differs much with my calvinistic upbringing, I can see why people find comfort in having these statues.
- Arts and Culture
Saint Christoffel
Favorite thing: High on the cathedral tower is St Christoffel.
I had noticed some shining figure up there but it was only when I looked at it through my tele zoom lens I noticed it was a figure.

This is great! Thank you so much for making this video. I have the supplies but don't know anyone that sews. It really helps to see you do it. My oldest son has a lot of shirts that he really likes and doesn't want to throw out even though they don't fit. Some of them are sports shirts but some are just neat shirts he liked. I think those would also make a nice quilt. I enjoyed your video and your funny comments! I'm going to check out your blog too.

Last night we had a simple activity to kick off November. I went onto LDSsplash.com and found a short, simple lesson on gratitude. We started out by reading 1 Nephi 2:7. We talked about how when Nephi and his family found their way into the wilderness, safely I might add, he gave thanks unto the Lord. I think it is important to teach our children to be thankful. Teach them to recognize God's hand, not juts in the bigs things, but the little things that happen each day. This is our goal this month. I found a basket in my closet that was not being used. I filled it with some colorful paper strips and we started writing. I think that this will be great for both of my littles to practice writing as well. Both of them wanted to write it all by them self. I just wrote the words they wanted to say on a piece of paper and then they copied it. We also read Thanks for Thanksgiving. This is such a sweet book to go along with this activity. It reminds the children and yourself all the little things to be thankful for. From thanksgiving dinner in itself to the snow and air outside. I hope you all have a chance to remember to be Thankful this season with your littles. Have a wonderful Tuesday:>

Classic pin ups based on the team fortress 2 class's

9 days/Intous 3/photoshop
Wow, sexy.
Wow for someone that wears a gas mask all day and is fat in game, I would still smash. If that's actually what the pyro looked liked.
Aaaaaaaaand I lost deviantart roulette in less than a second.
WOW cool! check me out plz
For a person wo kills others using a flamethrower this is incredibly sexy.
Well hello there, lovely lady. *Straightens hair*
pyros a homosexual male

The Game Theory has poisoned everyone on the internet.
It's called a THEORY for a reason.
Gravity's also a theory...
Gravity is a law...
No, it really isn't. Newton created LAWS of GRAVITY, but gravity itself is not a law. Gravity is a force, and also a theory. Gravity has not been explained on the quantum level either.
There's still theories going around that whether the Pyro is a gay male or a straight female.
The day RED Scout saw RED Pyro without her fireproof overalls on was almost too much for him to handle. He actually asked Medic to swap out his brain for a "clean" one. Fortunately, Engineer was able to stop Medic (who was crying in joy at the prospect of his first brain transplant) before he did anything permanent to Scout. Soldier insists that it would have been better if Engineer had not interfered.

Could I use this as my spray? Y'know...for backstabbing purposes.
Fucking awesome!

Hey, nice pin-up. I'm checking your gallery to see who else is in there.
Really fantastic! It almost looks like WWII recruitment/ support posters...
I think the Pyro is actually a gay male, according to Game Theory. But VERY nice picture!
Nice work.
Chom chom great to fap to
Dat dreamy face... hot.... if any, ANY of the member, other than pyro, see this...*teufort KABOOM!*
The RED Pyro approves.
The RED Pyro approves.
i guess you could say...that the pyro is quite hot BAD JOKE FTW
my kind of lady
This is brilliant!
The Team Fortress universe is so much more interesting when the team is female and lovely. I love this piece. It has that classic "bomber art" look to it--perfect a B-52 with a nuke to deliver.
reminds me of the "woman in red" from the matrix 1
grawwwr! is a realy sexy on"fire" girl
This picture is absolutely wonderful, but I'm confused. The Pyro is a woman?
Well, some people think that. He is called a he sometimes, and she is called a she other times. So the pyro's gender is a mystery.
Absolutely wonderfull

It is common knowledge that fiber optics has much more information-carrying capacity than copper wiring, mostly due to the fact that fiber optic suppliers have been touting the bandwidth advantages of fiber for so long. The usual pitch is to install fiber optics and forget about the frequent upgrades you face with copper cabling. READ MORE

A few years ago, a cohort and I were demonstrating fiber optic terminations in our booth at the NECA show. He came back from visiting another booth with a large twist-on wire connector, commonly called a "Wire-Nut," the Ideal trademark for these devices. READ MORE

Every fiber in an installed fiber optic cable needs testing for loss. The insertion loss test is the standard test required by every network and cabling standard around the world. Superficially, loss testing is easy. You need a power meter, test source, a couple of cables and the ability to follow standard procedure. READ MORE
July 2005
Fiber optics, like many of today's technologies, has developed its own language, created from technical terms specific to fiber optic technology. Sometimes the fiber optic community cannot-or will not-standardize, and we mean beyond choosing a standard connector. Sometimes the industry cannot even agree on what to call something. READ MORE
June 2005
There are two different ways to join two optical fibers: splices or connectors. Splices are permanent joints, while connectors allow the two fibers to be disconnected at the joint. There are obvious advantages with connectors, allowing for changes in network connections or accessing the network for testing. READ MORE

Contractors and installers generally are concerned with cabling, not networks. Installing and testing cabling to standards such as TIA-568 is the heart of their voice/data/video work.

Since the first installations of fiber optic networks more than 25 years ago, the goal of the fiber optic industry has been to install fiber optics all the way to the home. From an economic standpoint, fiber was most cost-effective in the long-distance networks. Fiber's high bandwidth and low attenuation easily offset its higher cost. READ MORE

The Queen's Royal
Having moved into the double deluxe room (no 1 on the first floor) with sea view for the second night of our stay at only a cost of £2.50 more this was far superior to the twin (no 4) at the rear of the hotel on the 2nd floor.
Having said that, again there was no anti slip mat for the bath and no toiletries other than hand soap dispenser but the towels were thicker and softer. Our only other criticism was that the Wi-fi did not connect in either room ......it was only available on ground floor.

Disappointing for the price
The accommodation was clean but generally rather tired.
To reach the ensuite there was a step up from the bedroom which one had to remember when leaving, especially in the dark. The ensuite window pane was cracked and looked too risky to open so with no working extractor fan the bathroom got steamed up. The bath was not designed with any anti-slip ridges in the base so with no anti-slip mat provided was rather hazardous for guests of a certain age. There was a soap dispenser but no other toiletries provided and the towels though clean and white were thin and scratchy.

Not a hotel just a pub with accommodation. Nowhere for "hotel" guests to relax.
Room dark and unwelcoming.
Bed hard and uncomfortable. Our gluten free needs were not met even though we were assured they would be. Staff pleasant, plenty of hot water and the room was warm enough. Wifi only worked in the restaurant area. Floors and doors creaked noisily. Wet towels not changed.Breakfast was satisfactory.

Below average stay
Stayed here over bank holiday weekend.
Shared bathrooms are not a problem with me; however, this one was constantly a mess because of the other users. The toilet was blocked by somebody on the third night/fourth morning.. There was no hot water on the second and third day - we went to find somebody to inform them but couldn't find a member of staff until the night of the third day.
The room was okay in terms of cleanliness but I would have expected it to be spotless. It was obvious that the room isn't used that often - it smelt dusty and looked as if it had not been stayed in. The walls are quite thin - we could hear the people either side of us day and night.
On the plus side, the bed was very comfortable.

Good location, nice from outside but far from great inside
We got one of the rooms facing the back of the hotel.
It's not a problem in itself - I don't always need to have a room with a sea view. However, there are a few high powered fans behind the hotel that prevented us from opening the window due to the noise they make. Fortunately, it wasn't too hot, but I wouldn't want to stay there in a hot weather. The room's deco is well out of date. So is the hallway's. The management must have had a hard time figuring out where to set up the dining room, so they decided to do it where I'd expect to see the reception. Basically, you enter the hotel through the main door and instead of the reception there is a dozen of tables with chairs. The only two good things about this hotel are the location and really nice people working there!

Liverpool trip
This hotel looks a lovely traditional building in he photo, but right next to it is a really scruffy car park which looks like something from the Bronx.
If I'd have realised our room was in a sort of granny flat at the back of the building, with a shared bathroom, looking out onto the aforementioned appalling car park I wouldn't have booked it. It was our 1st weekend away together so a bit of a disappointment. A man sharing our bathroom was a smoker and had been smoking inside-is this still allowed!?-the whole block reeked of it when we were showed to our room. The only saving grace was the very helpful young man on reception and the cooked breakfast was lovely. Next time I'll definitely choose another hotel closer to Liverpool or even in the centre as I'd rather deal with a bit of noise than stay in a hotel where our room was more like a hostel bedroom.

Most Americans understand World War I in the Middle East through the epic 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia. Who can forget Peter O'Toole's vibrant blue eyes as he blew up trains on the Hejaz railroad in modern Saudi Arabia and Jordan? Since American forces were not involved in the Egyptian/Palestine front, it probably would have escaped American interest were it not for the film.
But World War I shaped the modern Middle East. Nation-states from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf were brought into being by the British and French mandates. Their borders were drawn by colonial administrators in European chancelleries using inadequate maps and with little regard for and no input from the local populations, which were a swirl of ethnic and religious groups. Many of these states and boundaries are now breaking down.
