MOSCOW — A meteor streaked through the sky and exploded Friday over Russia's Ural Mountains with the power of an atomic bomb, its sonic blasts shattering countless windows and injuring nearly 1000 people. The spectacle deeply frightened thousands, with some elderly women declaring the world was coming to an end. The meteor — estimated to be about 10 tons — entered the Earth's atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph) and shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above the ground, the Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement.

But maybe bedding a 21-year-old no longer interests you or isn't realistic for you. There are several categories of mid-20s-and-up women you might aim at.
Recently broken up: Women on the rebound are often up for pure fun after the complexity of their recent relationship.
Still single: As women become more independent, they are getting married later and later these days. Some girls just want to have fun, while others are single for good reasons you'll soon figure out (see below).
Cougars: Some women just enjoy sex for what it is later than most. Although the term "cougar" often carries a negative connotation, it doesn't have to, especially if you're looking for "no strings attached sex" from a woman who knows her way around the bed — and a man's body.
as difficult as everNow let's take a look at reasons why things haven't necessarily become easier for men to get any. Once again, female nature explains much of this, and it's your responsibility to learn and work with it.
Luckily for us, women aren't as superficial as men. Many men forget this and spend hours in the gym, thinking that their sculpted abs or pumped up pythons will act as chick magnets. Taking care of yourself and working out are definitely important, but that time would be better spent just talking to women and gaining experience interacting with them.
Remember players; at some fundamental level, almost all women you'd ever try to bed look for one thing (if not many) before good looks: they want a man who will take charge and show them a great time sexually. Your confident attitude will convey that much faster than your looks, and that confidence only comes with practice. That hasn't changed, and never will.
Nesting time
Although most women enjoy a take-charge, sexually-experienced man, many have barriers to letting themselves accept one. Depending on where they're at on their romantic learning curve, they may have already been there, done that. Women in their mid-20s are starting to get over this sexual-experience-gathering stage, and become more selective about whom they spend their nights with. They're starting to think about nesting and who might father their children. Playtime is over; the clock is ticking.
You'll soon realize that you're wasting your time if you're looking for something casual and she's not. She'll be less flirtatious and forward, making you jump through more hoops and waiting longer to escalate things. If you're sure you're not looking for commitment, pursuing such a woman will just mislead her. This is where players get a bad name.
Super fine
Another reason players start to run into trouble is because, as they perfect their pickup skills, they start to aim at a higher breed of women (i.e. harder to get). "I've had plenty of average women; I'm only shooting for total babes now," your inner player voice says. If so, bear in mind some basic facts.
Hotter women, young or old, get more attention and so many have learned to be both pickier and harder to please, simply because they can be. Also, be careful not to confuse your higher standards as a player with a woman's higher standards for men, which often revolve around one question: "Is he marriage material?"
Seduced and kept interested by her smoking looks, you can easily get yourself on the wrong track that way if you're really not looking for commitment. Remember that there are also hot women just looking for fun like you are, so figure that out early on.
Now for some tips to help you land the sex maniacs...

Built in
the early 1400's by the Murray family, descendants of the
Earl of Moray, standard bearer at the battle of Bannockburn,
Comlongon guarded the approaches to Scotland from the Solway
Its massive 14 foot thick walls have stood witness to generations
of bitter Border conflict. Surviving this period with remarkably
few scars it remains in such good condition it is regarded
by the Royal Scottish Architectural Society as one of the
most impressive strongholds of its age to survive.
Although lapsing into disrepair in the 17th
century, the castle and estate suffered a period of neglect until,
in 1880, the Earl of Mansfield restored the castle and built an
extension in the form of a sumptuous Baronial mansion.
During the Second World War the building was occupied by Dr. Barnardos,
housing orphans for two decades. Happily, in more recent times,
the castle has entered a peaceful period becoming, from 1984,
one of Scotland's premier venues to host wedding ceremonies.
Upon climbing a short series of steps, one reaches the arched
entrance, this doorway is the only way in and out of the keep
and was so consequently formidably protected. Firstly a huge 4
inch thick studded oak door faced any intruder. However, this
was vulnerable to a concerted attack, and not fire proof, so immediately
behind was hinged an iron gate or yett.
The yett was an ingenious defensive feature, wrought in such a
fashion as to make it almost impossible to dismantle. Indeed,
so difficult to deal with were these yetts that, in 1606 the privy
council ordered their destruction in all strong places in the
Borders as a consequence of the endemic local feuding. Comlongon
managed to retain its original yett by virtue of Sir Charles Murray
who was made warden of the western marches in 1459.
Behind this yett, on the right is a porters' recess. The porter
was considered an important official, as in the first instance
it was his responsibility to either grant or deny access for visitors
to the castle.
The lower level or the barrel vaulted chamber served as a secure
storage chamber for the keep. This chamber was divided into two
levels, the lowest containing the well fed by a natural spring.
This was vital in case of siege. On this ground level, fuel and
fodder were stored. The upper level contained food for all the
castle occupants, hopefully above any vermin infestation. Meat
hooks can still be seen projecting from the ceiling.
The basement contains a display of three mummified cats, uncovered
during recent excavation, believed to have been sealed up alive
whilst the castle was under construction. These relics were thought
to protect the occupants from evil spirits. The whole basement
is designed to be virtually fireproof in the case of accident
or attack, or to burn out rapidly before consuming the upper residential
There are two staircases leading from the basement to the next
level. The first is a small access staircase designed as a private
passage between the levels for the family. The second links all
the levels of the keep, terminating at the battlements. The second
door up this staircase, decorated with shields, leads to an impressive
stone flagged chamber measuring some 31 feet by 21 feet - the
Great Hall.

Aug. 5, 2012
By Bill Bennett
Family has always been an important element in the life of Mebrahtom (Meb) Keflezighi. When he was a child growing up in Asmara, Eritrea, his parents, Russom and Awetash, protected their six children as their native country was embroiled in a war of independence against Ethiopia. Escaping the conflict, the family lived in Italy for a time before moving to San Diego when Meb was 12, in search of better educational opportunities for their children, which now numbers 11.
Keflezighi began to make a name for himself as a prep distance runner at San Diego HS and was recruited to UCLA by then-head coach Bob Larsen, who has been Keflezighi's coach throughout his collegiate (1994-98) and professional career. As a Bruin, Keflezighi became the greatest distance runner in school history. In 1997, he won four NCAA distance titles - the 5,000m indoor title, outdoor titles in the 5,000m and 10,000m to become only the third athlete in NCAA history to complete this double in the same season, and UCLA's first-ever cross country title. Keflezighi earned a total of 12 All-America honors in his four-year Bruin career. Following his senior season at UCLA, Keflezighi returned to his hometown of San Diego to take the U.S. oath and become an American citizen.
Training under Larsen at the high-level altitude site of Mammoth Lakes, CA, Keflezighi has become one of the top distance runners in U. S. history. The London Olympics will be his third representing the U. S. In 2000, he placed 12th in the 10,000m despite coming down with the flu during the Games. In 2004, he won the silver medal in the marathon to become the first U.S. marathon medalist since 1976. At the age of 36, Keflezighi became the oldest winner of the U. S. Olympic Marathon Trials in 2012, and he will represent the U.S. in the marathon on Aug. 12, the last day of the London Olympics. Twenty-four Keflezighi family members will make the trip to London to support him in his bid for another marathon medal.
Keflezighi took time out from his busy training schedule as he prepares for the 2012 London Olympics marathon to participate in a Q&A with uclabruins.com.
Q: As a UCLA junior in 1997 you won four NCAA distance championships. During your Bruin career, you also set school records in the 5,000m/10,000m. Looking back, what are some of your favorite Bruin memories?
A: I have so many great memories from my time at UCLA. During my freshman year, the UCLA men's basketball team won the NCAA Championship. That was a great time for the University. For me, 1997 was great because I won four NCAA Championships in one year. It was great to achieve a goal after all those years. It was only after winning these NCAA Championships that I considered becoming a professional runner. Until I graduated from UCLA, my number one priority was academics, over athletics. Once I graduated, I decided to make my running my priority. In addition to my athletic achievements, I enjoyed meeting great people, teammates, classmates and staff.
Q: In 1998, following your senior year at UCLA, you had to decide if you were going to run for your native country of Eritrea or for the U.S. In the summer of 1998, you became a naturalized American citizen. What were the factors involved in your decision to become a U. S. citizen?
A: There were many factors. At that point in my life, I had been in each country for about 10 years. Some members of my family wanted me to run for Eritrea, while others wanted me to run for the USA. Ultimately, I made the decision based on my future. While it was a very difficult decision to make at that time, I can look back and say I made the right decision. I have been able to be a leader in the resurgence of American distance running and at the same time not forget my roots.
Q: At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, you placed second in the marathon and won the silver medal in a then-personal best time 2:11.29. As you entered the Olympic Stadium, describe how you felt knowing you were about to become the first American since 1976 to win an Olympic marathon medal.
A: Unlike the 100 meters, the marathon usually gives you minutes to savor a good performance. During the last two miles of the 2004 Olympics Marathon, all of the people and places on my journey to that point flashed in my mind. I was able to think about all of the people who helped me achieve my dreams. I didn't have to wait until I got to the finish line to realize I had achieved my dream.
Q: Bob Larsen has been your coach since your UCLA career and through your professional long distance career. Describe the relationship you have with Coach Larsen, both on and off the track.
A: Coach Larsen and I met when I was 18 and he recruited me to UCLA. We have been working together for about 18 years. Coach Larsen has been a father figure who is not only concerned about his athletes being good runners, but being good people. We have gone through the ups and downs of our lives and in the sport together. Coach Larsen gives me a lot of freedom, and we now make a lot of the training decisions together.
Q: In 2010 you were inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame. What were your feelings and emotions when you were informed of your honor?
A: This is one of the biggest honors I have ever received. I chose UCLA to be a part of the tradition established by John Wooden, Rafer Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Bill Walton, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and all of the amazing track and field stars. To not only attend the same school, but also be in the prestigious Hall of Fame with them is amazing.
Q: Your home is Mammoth Lakes, CA, where you train at an altitude of over 7,000 feet above sea level. Please describe one of your daily workouts.
A: I have 12 running workouts a week, which is composed of two runs a day on Monday to Friday, and just one time on Saturday and Sunday. My Sunday is usually a long run that can be anywhere from 20-28 miles. In a week, I run about 100-130 miles during a marathon training cycle. I also go to the gym six days a week to do core workouts.
Q: You won the 2012 U.S. Marathon Trials in a personal-best time of 2:09.08, with Ryan Hall placing second and Abdi Abdirahman finishing third. What are the goals and aspirations for yourself and your teammates heading into the Olympics?
A: We are sending a very strong team to the Olympics this year. Any one of us can have a great day and medal. My goal is to be as competitive as possible with the field and go for a medal. This will be my last Olympic Games, so I would like to do something special. A medal and/or a personal-best would be a nice way to finish my Olympic career. After the Olympics, I want to run a few more marathons before I retire from the sport of running.

When it comes to the "autism community" (a term that refers mostly to neurotypical parents of autistic children, and the neurotypical self-proclaimed "experts" who insist they have the answers to what makes these kids tick), one of the greatest obsessions is eye contact. Many an autistic child has been traumatized by that dreaded phrase, "Look at me," often coupled with harsh tones and a forceful pull to attempt to force the eyes to meet. However, when asked why they care so much about eye contact, the most common reasons given by parents all start with "I" or "my," proceeding to go on about how said parent has made so many sacrifices, and this child has to start doing something in return. or else giving some other excuse which boils down to the whole complaint being a matter of eye contact being a neurotypical social convention which the parent is accustomed to. To not get those little "treats" is abhorrent in the parent's mind, perhaps even insulting. However, this parents-convenience point of view utterly disregards and ignores the most important and pressing question that many parents have about the lack of eye contact: WHY? The answer, like so many others, is one that "experts" have been utterly unable to answer, because their brains simply are not wired like those of their patients, and thus they have no understanding of how someone's eyes boring into this reporter's would feel every bit as violating to his mind and emotions as rape. In fact, repeated subjection to this form of psychological assault could be considered a form of emotional rape, where the parent is simply taking what they want without even thinking that the child may not want or benefit from it, and could even be hurt by the action.
Just because an eye-contact-averse autistic is best off not making eye contact, however, doesn't mean that the parent/teacher/therapist can't come up with a workaround. For many children and adults on the spectrum, this primal sense of violation and attack only comes from direct eye contact, and thus, they can learn to fake eye contact. Faking eye contact is a skill which will not only allow the autistic greater ease of communication (freeing them from the psychological assault of forced eye contact), but will also allow the parent to feel as though s/he is getting what s/he wants from his/her kid, without doing harm.
The trick to teaching the art of fake eye contact is to start off by making it a game, where the object is for the autistic to look at a part of the face of their choosing, while they try to make sure the other person can't figure out what part they're looking at. Over time, this skill will improve, and they'll likely expand upon it independently without prompting once they get the hang of it. This reporter, in particular, has developed the skill of faking eye contact to the point of simply looking at the entire face at once, a technique which is sufficient to fool even a psychologist or psychiatrist once it becomes second-nature. However, since many false experts still insist that forcing eye contact works, and is appropriate, more children will be violated, and by their own parents and teachers, no less. In the end, maybe instead of saying "Look at me," parents should be saying "If you won't look at me, then learn to fake it!" Somehow, the kids would probably be better off that way, since it isn't as though they're not paying attention.

Third-graders at Kalmiopsis Elementary School splashed and squealed in excitement as they bobbed their heads, practiced streamlines, swam on their backs and learned to swim freestyle at the Brookings Municipal Pool this past week.
Instructor Kaylee Kocher helps Trinity Gutierrez learn the right way to kick her feet. The Pilot/Charlie Kocher
The Kalmiopsis students were participating in a week of swim lessons sponsored by the Rotary Club of Brookings-Harbor.
"It's magic," Rotary club member Charlie Kocher said.
He said it's amazing to see how kids progress from clinging to the wall Monday morning to being comfortable in the water during the play day on Friday.
A small group of volunteers and paid instructors taught both beginning and more advanced swimmers breathing and stroke technique.
The students also were given ample time to jump off of the diving board and into the deep end of the pool.
Before this week's lessons, the students were taught about water safety in the classroom.
Third-graders Tarin Hargrove, Breanna Steveson, Ashanti Franks and Cayla Kennedy enjoyed the week in the pool.
"I love the swim lessons," Hargrove said. "It's fun doing lessons before summer swim lessons start and stuff, and it's fun hanging out with friends."
Her favorite part of lessons is swimming back and forth across the pool and jumping off of the diving board, she said.
The lessons are "fun. I didn't know how to swim and I'm learning how," Steveson said.
She likes jumping into the deep end.
"I think they're really fun," Franks said. "I like swimming in the deep end."
Her favorite part is jumping off the sides of the pool.
"I think it's really fun," Kennedy said. "I just like swimming and learning how to swim because I haven't known how to swim for a long time."
Kennedy likes jumping into the pool.
The lessons were started three years ago. The first two years of lessons were paid for by the Wild Rivers Ducky Derby, Kocher said.
Kocher's daughter, Kaylee Kocher, thought of the idea while working at the pool.
She mentioned it would be cool to have the derby pay to have every third-grader have a week in the water.
Red Cross water safety materials were bought, and the idea came to fruition.
"It's just too cool," Charlie Kocher said.

Animal Band Craze! ZF Photography
From preschool to high school, it is the latest rage and craze on Long Island - shape bands. It seems like a harmless fad that will not break the bank.
The legend goes, an office supply store started selling rubber bands that when not stretched out, were in the shapes of animals. Kids got a hold of these and wore them as bracelets.
Now they are packaged as bracelets and come in all sorts of shapes - dinosaurs, princesses, fish, etc. And of course all different colors, including tie dye and glow in the dark. Children collect them and wear their collection all at once. They also trade with their friends.
A bag of 12 cost about $2.99. Many stores are selling out of these shape bands fast. There are lots of online stores selling them too. Stores around Bayport that have them are -
Card store in King Kullen shopping center on Montauk Highway, Blue Point
Card store in Stop & Shop shopping center on Montauk Highway, Sayville
Card store in Waldbaums shopping center on Sunrise Highway, Patchogue
All 7-11 stores
Keep your eye out - they will be popping up all over the place soon as the shape band craze goes on!

Lt. Gov. Speaks At Frontiers Club MLK Day Luncheon
Utica, NY (WIBX) – The 27th Annual Mohawk Valley Frontiers Club Luncheon at the Radisson Hotel in Utica brought out many local elected politicians to help commemorate the 26th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Utica Mayor David Roefaro, Rome Mayor James Brown, Congressman Richard Hanna, Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito, County Executive Anthony Picente, 5th Ward Councilman Jerome McKinsey and Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara were just a few of the local leaders at the event.
Lieutenant Governor, Robert Duffy who spoke at the event said he remembers the day King was assassinated. Duffy said, "His message of not only trying to create equality and fairness and civil rights for everybody–he was also the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. His impact on the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act as a young man was just incredible. And, I think if Dr. King were to come down from heaven today, he would be happy with some things, and very unhappy with others because there's been some progress but not enough progress."
Duffy also alluded to the political nature and heated rhetoric going around the country saying, "Dr. King always met disrespect with respect. And what we see is that that does not happen very often. We see some of the vitriol that takes place among people and parties and organizations that I think we can take a chance to listen and follow the message of Dr. King." Duffy also touched on the state of education saying he questions whether Dr. King would be happy with the outcome. He said, "I look at the impact of education failures in kids who end up in our prisons or on our streets–it's immense. I think one thing we could do is when we come and honor Dr. King every year, the one take away is to emulate what Dr. King did–actions speak louder than words. Duffy said Mrs. Greene, one of the parents introduced at the event whose adopted son, Shakeem Greene, won a scholarship, is an example of someone who "walks the walk and lives the message of Dr. king."
Mayor Roefaro who introduced Duffy at the event said this day means a day of independence and reckoning. He said, "Martin Luther King has really reshaped this country and we honor him every year. And every year that I come to this event I get more and more inspired because there's something that you'll learn that you didn't know before. And this is just a great group of people who keep his memory alive. We've come a long way and we've got a long way to go, and I truly believe that these events are things that keep us going–that keep us at the fore front of keeping his dream alive. And I think that's why we're all here–to keep his dream alive."
Rome Mayor James Brown said the focus of this day should be about young people. He said, "The young people that are coming from broken homes that really need the guidance and support to get them in the system, to get them an education so they can better themselves and better the community, I think that's what we really have to focus on for the greatest Civil Rights Leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr."
Congressman Richard Hanna said this day should be on all our minds everyday. He said, "What Dr. King stood for is obviously timeless but in these times, it's even more important to remember how much we have in common and how much we're interdependent, and how much we need to create a peaceful society that can argue with positions in a civil way, and come to thoughtful conclusions that last over time. There's too much demagoguery, too much in-fighting and not enough people coming together as one to fix our problems, which are increasingly more severe. When asked about the seating arrangements suggested by Senator Charles Schumer during the 2011 State of the Union, Hanna said he sits next to his colleagues on the other side of the aisle all the time and will do so again during the SOTU. Schumer suggested that Republicans and Democrats sit next to each other during the SOTU address as a symbolic gesture in light of the Arizona tragedy.
Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito also shared her thoughts on this annual day of commemoration saying, "In this world of so much discourse and violence, Martin Luther King's dream has still not been attained. We need to work as a community to be sure that we all continue to have conversations and discussions about living together in a peaceful world."
County Executive Anthony Picente said he views this day as a day of meditation about what Dr. King meant, saying, "especially in these difficult times–it's really a time to reflect and understand about non-violence and about how people can disagree or can do so in a meaningful way and not with the violence that has taken place, and hopefully the message continues, and the dream carries on."
5th Ward Common Council member Jerome McKinsey Sr. said Junior Frontier's is on the front lines of helping inner city youths get into, and through college. McKinsey also touched on the MLK Day commemoration saying, "Martin Luther King Day is just a huge day and a huge event especially inside the black community, and what it does is it helps us realize and remember and not forget the struggle, and the process that it took to be able to enjoy the rights that we now enjoy." However, he added that more work needs to be done to adequately fulfill Dr. King's dream.
Two students were presented with the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholastic Achievement Award at the group's 27th Annual Mohawk Valley Frontiers Club Luncheon. Proctor High School Seniors Vincent Gallaway, who plans to major in Forensic Science, and Shakeem Greene, who aims to study Early Childhood Education and English Literature, were both honored for their achievements in education.

Tell me about this discovery for MS.
Dr. Wong: It's actually pretty exciting, we've found in the colony of Japanese macaques here at the primate center that some animals started to develop the disease manifestation, referred to as Japanese macaque encephalomyelitis in the mid 1980's that looked very similar clinically to Multiple Sclerosis in humans. And then when we did further analysis of these animals we found that when we looked at their brain structures they had areas of demyelination occurring and that's very similar to what happens in Multiple Sclerosis patients.
What exactly do you think you've found?
Dr. Wong: We're very excited; we found a novel herpes virus associated with one of the lesions. So when we took a lesion out at necropsy when the animal was euthanized we put that lesion in cell culture and found that a virus came out of that particular lesion. So this was the first isolation of a virus from a lesion. We've subsequently been able to identify or isolate that virus in similar lesions from animals.
So what does that mean for humans?
Dr. Wong: It's a huge finding, for years medical researchers have thought that Multiple Sclerosis is associated with an infectious agent and it's been thought to be a human herpes virus. Human herpes virus 6 and Epstein Barr virus have both been postulated to be associated with MS and there is good evidence to suggest that Epstein Barr virus may be associated with MS. Interestingly, the virus that we identified is similar to Epstein Barr virus but it's slightly different. So it's a monkey homolog of a different herpes virus that's related to Epstein Barr virus.
Are we close to a cure for MS?
Dr. Wong: Well that's a good question. What we are hoping to do is to start with the data that we have with the monkey virus to see if there is a similar virus in humans that have MS. So one, we can start getting patient samples and try to see if we can identify that particular virus. If so then we may have new targets to attack the agent that may precipitate Multiple Sclerosis in humans.
So you've found a new virus in the monkeys and you're trying to figure out if this same virus is in humans? If it is then you may be able to find new treatments and or a cure for this illness?
Dr. Wong: Absolutely. That's the ultimate goal is to see if we can identify a similar infectious agent and see if we can look at its genetic material and find its weak points so we can target therapies against that. That's a tall order and there's a lot of research associated with this that's going to have to go forward but it gives us a better handle on what may be an infectious agent or etiology associated with the disease. Now if a virus cannot be found the animal model that we've been able to develop will also be valuable because it's a spontaneous demyelinating disease in this colony of Japanese macaques. And that's the first non human primate model of Multiple Sclerosis. So if we can better understand how the disease precipitates in these animals or initiates we may have a better understanding of what the underlying causes or factors that is associated with Multiple Sclerosis in humans.
Where are we in that process?
Dr. Wong: With the animal model we're just starting to better tease it apart. We've been studying it for quite a few years, we had our first publication in July and it describes the model. There's a lot of interest in the animal model but again there's a lot of work left to do.
How similar are the Japanese macaques to humans?
Dr. Wong: Well the monkeys on the ancestral tree they're very similar. Obviously we have the great apes, the chimpanzees and gorillas, the chimpanzees being the most related to humans and the Macaques are further down the tree. But having a non human primate that can develop disease like the Japanese Macaques do is very significant. Because just like you said they are much more related to a human than a rodent is. So we have a better chance of understanding how the disease process works.
Are there any formal studies out to check out the model in humans?
Dr. Wong: We're collaborating with some clinicians at OHSU to obtain patient samples and we're collaborating with a number of investigators there also with advanced MRI imaging center to look at the high resolution structures of the brain in our animals and compare those to humans to see if we can better quantify the disease process. So there's still a lot to do.
Is this your life's work, is MS a special interest for you?
Dr. Wong: Fortunately for my family we don't have any disease in our family. However, I met MS patients when I was in my teens at the Veterans Hospital and saw first hand how devastating the disease is. My interest stems from being a virologist. We've developed another animal model here at our primate center; obviously everybody is familiar with AIDS. The first disease that was an indicator of AIDS was a lesion called Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) you may be familiar with that. It was a purple lesion on the skin of AIDS patients. They found in 1995 that, KS was associated with a human herpes virus. In fact it was a newly identified herpes virus. So we have an animal model here in our Macaque colony where we study SIV which is the monkey version of AIDS. And this simian herpes virus that we have identified can induce malignancies in SIV infected monkeys. So now we have another virus that we can better understand how viruses associate with cancer in immune suppressed individuals. So we're developing this as an animal model. So my work for years has been associated with that herpes virus. And now we've spun off in to the MS field.
So this could be medicines next big thing?
Dr. Wong: We're hoping that we can develop this in to two things. One, obviously if we can identify a similar virus in humans associated with MS. And two, to show that this animal model closely parallels Multiple Sclerosis in humans so that again we can use this animal model to evaluate therapeutic agents to help treat MS patients.
Can you tell how you came over this?
Dr. Wong: This disease was identified in 1986. Our pathologist here at our center euthanized the animal and looked at the brain of the infected monkey and found that, the animal's brain had demyelinating lesions very similar to what Multiple Sclerosis patients suffer from. So demyelination means that the myelin sheath around the neurons is destroyed. And when that insulation is gone the neurons start to die and that's what happens in Multiple Sclerosis patients. And that was what we found with the Japanese Macaques that were affected with the disease. So since 1986 to the present we've collected a number of animal samples now where we're better able to look at the disease and better understand how the disease process is similar to Multiple Sclerosis.

The San Antonio Scorpions, coming off a big win against the Cosmos, failed to keep the momentum going as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Tampa Bay on Saturday night at Toyota Field.
The Scorpions started well but struggled to create any real clear cut chances for all their possession as Tampa remained firm in defense.
In the 18th minute the Scorpions had a golden opportunity as Danny Barrera played Walter Restrepo clean through on goal, but his first touch was heavy allowing Matt Pickens to run out and claim the ball.
In the 24th minute Shaun Saiko should have scored the opener as the Rowdies left him wide open to receive the cross but he was denied by a stunning save from Pickens.
The Scorpions were continuing their flowing football and in the 27th minute when Restrepo was able to send the ball along the ground but could only find Tampa defenders.
A flowing counter attack allowed the Scorpions a great chance on the verge of half-time as Restrepo and Barrerra played a one-two allowing Barrerra through on the right, with numbers in support but Tampa scrambled back and cleared.
Tampa started the second half the better side and some good work allowed Keith Savage to lay the ball back for Shane Hill who hit an impressive strike from the edge of the area, through three defenders, just out of the reach of David Bingham for the opening goal.
With the momentum the Rowdies very nearly made it two immediately as a deep cross allowed a free header which went just wide of goal.
A corner allowed the Scorpions a chance in the 58th minute as a ball was solidly floated in but it was just out of the reach of Saiko keeping it 1-0.
In the 67th minute Sainey Touray used his speed to get behind the Rowdies defense and looked to chip the keeper but was denied as Pickens stuck his glove up to keep it 1-0.
Pickens was again the hero in the 74th minute as he came up big to deny the Touray header after a perfect Hassli pass.
The Scorpions got a chance to get back in to the match in the 78th minute as Blake Wagner was shown his second yellow for an off the ball incident.
It was all Scorpions for the final 20 minutes and they could well have drawn level with seven minutes to play as a scramble allowed them to push the ball just wide.
Pickens was the star for Tampa Bay as he constantly repelled the Scorpions, earning them a valuable three points in a tight league.

O_o What? It is a bee on a flower.
Damn...that's a nice shot You're really good with using the depth of field on your camera. I'm taking a photo class this semester, and I still don't get it -__- You'll have to give me some tips XD
Thank you! Just let me know what you want to know and I can try to help. Try being the keyword.
It's lovely. What kind of camera do you have?
I have a Nikon D-50. Most of the Japanese photos are taken with a Canon PowerShot S2 IS, but a few are from the D-50. I bought it from Chuken a few months before we left.
Thats beautiful ^^

Honey Boo Boo's mom, June Shannon, is looking beautiful in her wedding gown on the cover of Vogue magazine. The only problem is that is where Kim Kardashian is supposed to be with Kanye West. There have been spoofs and then there are spoofs of epic proportion. According to Rumor Fix on Monday, someone took some serious time to make June Shannon look stunning on the front of this magazine.
The cast member of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is dressed in her camouflage gown and looking good with a big bouquet of flowers. Offering up a pose far less posed than Kim Kardashian, the moment seems special, even if this is just a spoof of the controversial cover set to hit newsstands.
While the Vogue magazine controversy continues, this latest cover reminds everyone that Vogue only caters to who they consider elite in fashion and can draw in readers. With Kim Kardashian there was a guaranteed conflict as the star didn't seem like an appropriate decision. It might be a choice the magazine comes to regret as the obvious factor of creating conflict for magazine sales is pretty lame. Perhaps the readers love beautiful things and amazing fashion, but they surely aren't stupid. It's impossible not to notice this publicity stunt.

I am interested in the question, what forms of evidence do contemporary Orthodox batei din accept to establish that someone is Jewish? In particular, if you, your parents and grand-parents are non-Orthodox, what sort of evidence would be acceptable to prove you are Jewish to Orthodox standards? As an example, I have recently learned that a non-Orthodox ketubah is sometimes (often?) not acceptable.

Here is an example of a list of required documentation required by an Orthodox Shul in South Africa (in South Africa all marriages that take place in Orthodox Shuls are authorized by the central Beth Din):
The purpose of this paperwork is to establish several facts that are vital in permitting an Orthodox wedding - including: a) that the bride and groom are Jewish b) that the bride and groom do not have the Halachic status of "Mamzer" c) that any previous marriages were terminated according to Halacha (death of spouse, or Halachic Get) d) if the groom is a Cohen there will be additional restrictions.
In light of this, it is hardly surprising that only documentation from recognized Orthodox shuls will be accepted to prove the above. Non-Orthodox groups do not follow Orthodox Halachic procedure with regard to conversions/divorces and documents from such groups simply do not prove that the prerequisites for an Orthodox marriage are met.

Woman killed by falling tree branch at Kew Gardens
08:55 24 September 2012
A woman was killed when a large tree branch fell on her at Kew Gardens.
The incident happened yesterday afternoon at around 2pm at The Royal Botanic Gardens.
A statement on the website for Kew Gardens yesterday said: "The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew confirms a tragic accident at Kew Gardens this afternoon when a falling tree branch resulted in a fatality.
"We are currently working with police and next of kin are being informed. We cannot comment further at this stage but our deepest sympathy is with family and friends."
Ambulance staff tried to resuscitate the woman but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is believed the branch may have fallen due to the adverse weather. Kew Gardens is closed today as a precautionary measure due to the weather.
A statement on the attraction's website said: "The Met Office have issued a severe weather warning for London and the south east predicting heavy rain and winds gusting 50-55mph.
"As a precaution, Kew Gardens will not be open to the public today. We apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause."

In the move to the new hosting server, a few things were messed up by the provider and there is no way to go back to the old host. Everything is gone! I have been trying non-stop for nearly 10 days to figure out how to solve the numerous issues which I am facing and I just cannot get past the number of issues I see. It really is a shame.
Boss GT Central had a fantastic group of users. We have been an internet presence for many, many years and it appears as though that now is ending.
We covered the Boss GT-3, GT-5, GT-6. GT8, GT-Pro, etc and I've had some good times. At the early stages, there was not much competition and now many companies have joined the fight of the digital age, and may have surpassed Boss/Roland. That is all good. More products for us musicians!
As far as the content, I have/had over 10 years of forum posts which are now apparently "broken" and unable to get back to where they need to be. We have survived numerous hacks, new inventions and, at times, wars with other user communities. I thought about starting the site over again, but to be honest, it is just not worth it when the years of content will not be available.
Thanks for the friendship and learning which you all have brought to the forum. I appreciate it as I am sure that other have enjoyed as well.

ELKHART — Lana Canen knew she hadn't killed anyone, but she was convinced she was going to prison anyway.
Canen, who was 45 years old when she was charged with felony murder in connection with the death of 94-year-old Helen Sailor, said at first she could not get over the shock of learning she was a person of interest in a homicide case.
"I'm no angel, but I'd never gotten in trouble with the law," she said. "I'm not violent. I've never even been in a fight. I'm a pretty laid back person."
Once she was incarcerated, she knew it wouldn't be easy to prove to the court she was innocent, Canen said.
Sailor was found dead the morning after Thanksgiving in 2002 in her apartment at the Waterfall Highrise housing building in Elkhart. Following an autopsy, officials determined Sailor died of asphyxiation caused by strangulation.
According to court files, Sailor's apartment was in disarray. Her dresser drawers were on her bed and their contents had been removed. A Bible in which Sailor was known to keep money was empty.
Canen and Andrew Royer, both residents at the Highrise apartments, were charged with murder in connection with Sailor's death two years later.
Canen and Royer were convicted of murder following a joint jury trial in 2005.
"It could have been for something I did do. It would have been easier to accept. But when it's something you know you didn't do, it's kind of hard to..." Canen trails off chuckling bitterly.
Canen said she was first told she was a person of interest in the homicide investigation when she was arrested for check deception.
Canen had been struggling to keep up with payments, barely able to pay for her rent, she said. She was arrested twice after she failed to pay a fee for overdrawing her banking account. It was on the second time she was arrested that she was interrogated about Sailor's death, Canen said.
"When my brother came to pick me up (from the jail,) I put my arms around him and started crying, I said 'Nick, you're not going to believe this.' I told him what police had told me that day. He was shaking his head in disbelief."
Canen said despite knowing no one else, aside from her family, knew she was being looked at as a person of interest in a homicide investigation, she still felt exposed.
Canen was evicted from her Waterfall Highrise apartment, and was in the process of moving into a new apartment when she was arrested.
It was Labor Day Weekend, and Canen was sitting in the basement in her mother's house, watching TV, when police arrived.
Sandra Brinson, Canen's mother, said she was babysitting that day when a couple of officers entered the house through the front door and immediately searched her home. A few other officers were standing around the house as well, she said.
"They surrounded the house like there was a serial killer in here," Brinson said.
Canen said that her first year incarcerated, while she waited for her trial, was difficult because she was still in disbelief.
"It was (hard) at first, but then you get used to it," Canen said. "You have to get used to it; there's nothing you can do about this situation."
According to the files, when police interviewed Royer, Canen's co-defendant, he told them he said he went to Sailor's apartment and strangled her with a rope. He said he used towels to clean up the apartment and later threw them down the garbage chute.
The next morning Royer told police again that he strangled Sailor. In subsequent interviews Royer denied having killed Sailor, and his descriptions of his Thanksgiving Day activities were inconsistent. By then, Royer had provided details of the incident that were unknown to the public, according to court files.
Canen, who knew Royer as a friend and neighbor at the apartments, said she thinks Royer is innocent.
Canen said Royer would stop by her apartment and watch TV with her sometimes. When Canen moved to her new apartment, Royer helped her unpack.
"When he ran out of cigarettes I gave him cigarettes. He'd come up and drink coffee," she said. "We watched cable together, because he didn't have cable. He would help me go to the store and carry my groceries. We were just friends."
According to court files, one witness told police Canen and Royer fell silent and stared at the floor when conversation about Sailor's death was brought up. Another witness said Canen told her "no one was supposed to get hurt." According to the files, Canen also told the witness that "she went upstairs to see an old lady," because the old lady had told her that she could "come and get money."
The prosecuting attorneys' strongest piece of evidence against Canen was a medicine tube found in Sailor's apartment with a fingerprint that seemed to match Canen's.
After her conviction, Canen was sentenced to 55 years in prison. She said she was transferred to the Rockville Correctional Facility about two weeks later.
"When they found me guilty they wouldn't let me hug my mother or my daughter," Canen said. "I knew that once they took me to jail I wouldn't have the chance to hug them again."
The shows on TV make it seem worse than what it is, Canen said. She had never set foot in a prison and was genuinely scared about being transferred.
"I know when I finally got there I started crying again, because I knew that was going to be my world from then on," she said. "I felt so alone, and I'm the type of person who likes to be by myself. But for once I felt so alone, like I had nobody."
Slowly, other inmates would approach Canen and introduce themselves. Canen became known as the other inmates' "prayer warrior," because of her faith.
Canen said she told other inmates her story, explaining that she was innocent. Some would believe her while others had their doubts.
"Some of them would come in and would straight up tell you who they killed," she said. "I was sometimes afraid of being with some of these women because some of them did kill people, or beat people up. I've never even been in a fight."
Canen said she never stopped fighting for her freedom.
Canen filed an appeal, but the Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's conviction and sentence. She then filed a petition for post-conviction relief.
The State Public Defender's office appointed Cara Wieneke, a private counselor, as Canen's attorney. Canen refers to Wieneke as one of her angels.
Wieneke hired an independent examiner to look at the fingerprint collected from the scene and see if it matched Canen's.
In a post-conviction relief hearing in 2012, the original fingerprint examiner, Dennis Chapman of the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department testified, saying he had since looked at both fingerprints and found they did not match.
The Elkhart County Prosecutor's Office joined Canen's request for the court to vacate the conviction.
Canen was transferred back to the Elkhart County Jail to await her retrial when Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hill announced he was dismissing all charges against her in November 2012.
Canen said she was asleep when the jail officers came to her cell. They woke her up and told her to pack her items.
Confused, Canen asked where she was going. They told her she was being released.
Canen said she tried to contact her mother, and then a friend, to get ride home. When no one answered, she thought about walking the three miles to her house.
"I was ready to go, I just wanted out," Canen said.
An officer drove Canen to her mother's house, where Brinson was waiting for her. Brinson received a call from the prosecutor's office, with news about her daughter's case.
When Canen got home, Brinson explained to her that she wouldn't have to go to prison again.
"I was just feeling relief, shock. I was happy," Canen said. "All those years I prayed and waited, and the day finally arrived."
Canen said she has been busy rearranging her life. She had to get another driver's license, get her court records to apply for disability, get an apartment and get a car, among other things.
Canen said she lost most of her possessions while she was in prison because her family was not able to keep them.
All the boxes Canen had moved into her new apartment right before her arrest were kept in storage for a while, Brinson said. But when she stopped being able to pay for storage she knew she had to get rid of most of her daughter's possessions.
"I started from scratch," she said. "I walked out of (jail) with a pair of sweats, a sweatshirt, and they gave a T-shirt and a pair of pants and socks and a bra."
Canen is now dealing with several medical issues, some with which she was dealing before her incarceration, including back and neck injuries.
Canen said she missed her family the most. But there were so many other things she enjoyed once she was out from prison. She could now eat what she wanted. The prison didn't even have her favorite m&ms, the plain ones.
"I just wanted to do whatever I wanted to do, without asking if I could go to the bathroom," she said. "I just like to stay home and watch TV. I've always been kind of a loner kind of person."
During those eight years of imprisonment, Canen kept her faith, and eventually it paid off.
"I sometimes even wondered myself if I was ever going to get out. I didn't want to completely give up."
