Neuren's Third Lead Drug Candidate, NNZ-2591, Proves Effective At Reversing Memory Loss
Thursday October 19, 2006
Key points: * Neuren's oral drug candidate NNZ-2591 has successfully reversed experimental memory loss, a common outcome associated with dementia and with many Parkinson's disease patients * This improvement was seen in both ordinary (non-aged) animals with induced memory loss and older (aged) animals, the latter indicated the reversal of aged related memory loss as well * Previous preclinical data for oral NNZ-2591 has shown improvement in the motor effects associated with Parkinson's * NNZ-2591 now has preclinical evidence that it reverses both the motor effect and the memory loss effect associated with Parkinson's disease * There is currently only one drug approved for Parkinson disease dementia but none approved that treats both the motor and the dementia effects * Neuren intends to accelerate development of NNZ-2591 as a clinical candidate for treatment of Parkinson's disease dementiaRead Article

Synchronous neuronal firing may underlie Parkinson's disease
Thursday October 19, 2006
In a finding that contradicts current theories behind Parkinson's disease, neuroscientists at Duke University Medical Center have discovered in mice that critical nerve cells fire all at the same time and thus overwhelm the brain's ability to control the body's movements.Read Article
Insight into dopamine role suggests new treatment pathway for Parkinson's
Thursday October 19, 2006
Dopamine (DA) not only functions as a neurotransmitter, a chemical messenger between neurons by which one neuron triggers another, researchers have found. It also appears to coordinate the activity of a particular neural circuitry. In studies with mice, they found evidence that the dopamine deficiency in Parkinson's and other related movement disorders may cause loss of muscle control and paralysis due to disruption of coordinated activity in this circuit.Read Article

Nice one thisFor newbies, this is awesome... I spent lot of time selecting a pair on the net- against good optics, availablity, and value for money. I bet on the DPS-I and it has been great. Watched the moon, stars, and lot many birds. It's price is up since I bought it, but still worth it all. Surely prefer this over the 2K priced ones, after all optics matter more than a few bucks for awesome experience. Get it!

Slightly heavy but a great buy!Well, Flipkart shipped this beauty to me in a record 24 hours! I took it with me on a recent camping trip. These binoculars are a treat for all birdwatchers with superb magnification and come in a great carry case. However they are heavy and for people like me with a weak neck, they can be burdensome. Surprisingly, even though its eye-relief is not much, it offers good comfort for bespecatacled people like me. Go for it if budget is not a constraint and you want to see your birds up close and personal!

Fabulous BinoFound this binocular faboulous. 8*40 gives amazing clarity and is ideal for brightness of the image. Only 1 circular control makes it kid friendly. So, no lot of adjustments to do.

Must have for a birderI'm a newbie to birding and based on my budget and feedback from the reviews, I zeroed on Olympus 8 x 40 DPS I Binoculars. I've used this Binoculars in one of the bird marathon and this device did not disappoint me. It gives a clear image and easy to use. However, the birds very far in the sky cannot be visible through this Binoculars. All in all, it's a great tool for a newbie birder. Go for it.

Certainly yesI certainly can say it deserves five stars , very well built quality and easy to handle. Image quality and magnification are excellent, certainly deserves Rs. 4500. No need to anything special abt flipkart , very reliable as always.

Excellent value for moneyI have been using the Olympus 8x40 DPSI for over a year now, mainly for bird-watching. Considering the price, it is quite a surprise package - unimaginably cheap. For entry-level bird watchers, it is right up there with the Nikons ('Action'), Bushnells etc. The prisms offer a wonderfully wide, bright and crisp image. When you get such performance at a low price, weight shouldn't be a problem at all. Performance wise, I believe a competitive product is at least a thousand to two, costlier.

The move was announced at the British Superbike round at Thruxton last weekend by Ducati UK MD Tim Maccabee and BSB Race Director Stuart Higgs.

6-Year-Old Stunt Rider Shows His Skills
You might be equally inspired and depressed when this 6-year-old stunt rider shows his skills. While most of us were getting to grips with a BMW, the now 7-year-old AJ Heinicke grew up around motorcycles. So early practice on balance bikes and bicycles led to pitbikes and teaming up with Harley-Davidson professional stunt rider Jason Pullen. There's no denying that AJ has skills. Apparently when his first electric bike arrived he jumped straight on it and rode off without any pause for thought. And at the age of 7, Heinicke is already … [Read more...]
First Knox Gloves Designed for Female Motorcyclists
The Knox Hadleigh Ladies Motorcycle Gloves are the first produced specifically for women riders by the company. And similar to the men's Hanbury Gloves we featured recently, they feature a short cuff to help fit with any choice of jacket. It's good to see Knox has opted for classic black, rather than making them bright pink... The Hadleigh gloves feature 0.8mm cowhide leather, and have an OutDry waterproof membrane on the outside. The result is that the rain stays out without your gloves resembling oversize mittens. It also seals the … [Read more...]

This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
Regardless of where a person's conscience asks him or her to look – if guided – a seeker of truth will inevitably find mysterious door leading to God.
Man is weak and vulnerable; many unpredictable forces can affect him, obstructing his desires and goals. He becomes ill, he loses things, he gets hurt, he plans - and he often fails. As man looks at the scale of the universe around him - seas, mountains, the grandeur of the heavens and galaxies - he must consider his insignificance and weakness. At this point, unless he is extremely arrogant, he will begin to feel humble and helpless next to the vastness of things around him. When a person weighs up everything, he will realise that something is missing. He will ask himself: 'What is the explanation for this life; what is the purpose of living?' This is where FAITH begins. He will realise that there must be some great mysterious power behind existence, something which controls the harmony and sequence of events; something behind the mere dust and materialism of this world. Man will then look for something ABOVE HIMSELF worthy to worship and believe in. This is the amazing spiritual nature of man, which makes him unique and also makes him accountable. It is the inner discussion he has with his own SOUL, which distinguishes the human being from the ANIMALS. If he is guided, he will find the One True God, and will fulfil his need to worship by believing in Him and obeying the Divine Inspiration sent by Him. This is basically the meaning of Islam; surrender to the Lord and Sustainer of the Universe - Allah.
According to Islam, everything that we see, as well as that which we don't see, in this immeasurable universe – including us – is the domain of one Supreme Being, Allah, the one true God and Master. He exists without need of anything, not born or created, but Who Himself created everything and provides for every entity; every atom. Islam is not a new religion; it simply represents the original message and Revelation which was sent since the appearance of man on the pages of existence, and that the original faith of unity is this belief in One God of all creation. This was the message of all God's prophets, before the break up of religion into sects and denominations Regarding this, Allah says in the Qur'an: "We sent no Messenger before thee but We inspired him that there is no god save Me, so worship Me."
God is the Creator of all that exists, unique, incomparable, eternal, absolute, perfect, and without peer or associate God sent Messengers to humankind, of whom Muhammad was the
last The Qur'an is the Word of God; Humans are responsible to God for their actions; On Judgment Day, an All-Knowing and Merciful God will judge all humans according to their faith, intentions, and deeds in this life.
Muhammad (peace upon him) was the Prophet and Messenger through whom God sent the last divine revelation to humankind. Biblical prophecies on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad are numerous (Deuteronomy 18:18-19), (John 1:19-21 and 16:7-14). Muhammad was born around the year 570 C.E. in the Arabian city of Makkah (traditionally spelled Mecca). In the middle of the city stands an ancient house of worship called the Ka'bah, which is believed to exist from the time of Adam and later rebuilt by Abraham and his son Ishmael. Muhammad, a descendant of Abraham, was orphaned at age six and grew up in the care of relatives. When he was 40 years old, during his seclusion in the Mountain Hira (Mountain of Light) just outside Makkah, God revealed the first five verses of the Qur'an through visitation of the Arch Angel Gabriel. It called him to teach people to worship the One God and revive the pure monotheistic faith of Abraham. But for thirteen years Muhammad faced severe opposition and persecution from the population of Makkah, who believed in multiple pagan deities and the worship of idols. In the early fall of 622, Muhammad and his followers emigrated from Makkah, northward to the town of Yathrib (later renamed al-Madinah). This emigration -historically known as the Hijrah -- marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar, because it was in Madinah that the followers of Muhammad developed a model society based on the spiritual teachings of the Qur'an. In 630 Muhammad peacefully re-entered Makkah, where he forgave his enemies and cleared the sacred Ka'bah of idols. Two years later he died, on June 8, 632 C.E.
God has revealed various Books at different times to guide mankind, such as the Torah, the Gospel and the Psalms given to Moses, Jesus and David. The Qur'an is the last holy book, or scripture; the Word of God, originally transmitted to Muhammad in Arabic by the Angel Gabriel. But it was always meant for all humanity, not for any exclusive group. At its heart is the teaching of monotheism -- the worship of One God and no others -- but the Qur'an also provides guidance for every part of a believer's life.
There is only one version of the Qur'an, unchanged since Muhammad received it. A number of his followers had carefully memorized each of God's revelations, word for word -- an achievement still common among Muslims today. Muslim scholars regard versions of the Qur'an in other languages to be interpretations or paraphrases, rather than true translations, and in Arabic literature there is no work whose eloquence, clarity and erudition approach that of the Qur'anic text.
There are five divine guidelines that the Qur'an clearly presents to Muslims for building tolerance and understanding among differing religions. Everyone's God-given human dignity must be respected, regardless of his or her faith, race, ethnic origin, gender, or social status (Qur'an 17:70). Because everyone is created by God Almighty, the Maker of all, humans must treat one another with full honor, respect, and loving-kindness. Islam teaches it is by Divine Will that God's human creation follows different religions, or no religion at all -- no religion is nevertheless a faith, or belief-system (10:99). But God Almighty is not pleased when some humans choose not to believe (39:7) The Qur'an states clearly that freedom of religion is a God-given right (2:256). The final judgment of all humanity lies in the hands of God, the One Almighty, their Creator, to whom we all ultimately return (22:6869), (42:15). God loves justice and those who strive to practice it, especially toward people who are different from them in any way, including in matters of religious belief (5:8), (60:8). A muslim Eid postage stamp by master calligrapher Mohamed Zakariya has brought his work into probably millions of homes in the US. On it is a saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which translates to: "There is no facilitating or reciprocating harm."
The Ka'bah is the black one-room cubical stone structure in the courtyard of the Great Mosque at Makkah. It was built by Adam and rebuilt by Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail (Ishmael) as the first place on earth wholly dedicated to the worship of God Almighty, the One True Creator of all. It has been given the honorary name, Beit-Allahalharam, meaning "the sacred house of God." 4
The interior of the Ka'bah is now completely empty, and it is not entered except for a ritual cleaning each year. A new black cloth covering, called the Qiswah, embroidered in gold with Qur'anic calligraphy, is made for it each year. When Muslims pray, wherever in the world they are, they face toward the Ka'bah. During the Hajj -- a spiritual pilgrimage that every Muslim aspires to enact at least once in his or her life -- pilgrims circle the Ka'bah seven times in a ritual called the "tawaf," or circumambulation, literally a walking anti-clockwise of the circumference. The tawaf is also performed throughout the rest of the year.
Islam, in Arabic, means "submission," that is, submission to the will of God. It also means "to enter peace," specifically, the peace one finds through submission to God's will. Muslims accept five primary obligations in life, commonly called the "Five Pillars of Islam." In practice, of course, Muslims can be seen observing all of these to varying degrees, for the responsibility of fulfilling the obligations lies on the shoulders of each individual. 1 - The profession of faith (shahadah): This is a simple statement of the words, "There is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God." 2 - Prayer (salah): Muslims pray five times a day -- at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset and evening -- facing toward the Ka'bah, which is the House of God, in the Great Mosque at Makkah. They may pray wherever they are when prayer-time arrives, in any clean place, preferably in the company of other Muslims. On Fridays at noon, Muslims pray in congregational mosques, or masjids; this weekly prayer is called the Jumah. 3 - Charity: (zakah): A fixed proportion (2.5%) of a Muslim's net wealth -- not just his or her current income -- is prescribed to be donated for the welfare of the community as a whole. 4 - Fasting (sawm): Every day from dawn to dusk during the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims must abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual contact and, even more than at other times, they must also avoid undesirable, or imperfect behaviours.
5 - Pilgrimage (hajj): The journey to Makkah is obligatory once in a lifetime for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to make it. The Hajj proper is made between the eighth and 13th days of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, and every pilgrim carries out specified rituals at particular times. At any other time of year, Muslims can perform similar prayers and rituals and thus complete the 'Umrah, or "lesser pilgrimage."
The Islamic calendar is based on a lunar year of 12 full lunar (monthly) cycles, taking 354 days. Each new year in the Islamic calendar thus falls 10 or 11 days earlier according to the 364 day solar calendar. The 12 months of the Islamic year are: 1- Muharram 2- Safar 3- Rabi' al-Awwal ("Rabi' 1") 4- Rabi' al-Thani ("Rabi 2") 5- Jumada al-Ula ("Jumada I") 6- Jumada al-Akhirah (Jumada II) 7- Rajab 8- Sha'ban 9- Ramadan 10- Shawwal 11- Dhu al-Qa'dah 12- Dhi al-Hijjah The first day of Year One of the Islamic calendar was set as the first day of the Hijrah, the Prophet's migration from Makkah to Madinah on July 26, 622 C.E. The western convention in designating Islamic dates is thus by the abbreviation AH, which stands for the Latin anno hegirae, or "Year of the Hijrah."
To roughly convert an Islamic calendar year (AH) into a Gregorian equivalent (A.D./C.E.), or vice versa, use one of the following equations. AD = 622 + (32/33 x AH) AH = 33/32 x (AD - 622)
Islam's golden age in science, technology and intellectual culture spanned about 500 years, from the ninth until the 14th centuries. Muslim achievements in these areas greatly influenced the European Renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries, as well as the birth of modern scientific method in the 17th century. Bertrand Russell, the famous British philosopher, has rightly claimed, it was Muslims "who introduced the empirical method" in the study of nature and cultivated it widely when they were leaders of the civilized world. The scientific method, as it has been developed in modern western science, was indeed invented by Muslims and first practiced by them on a large scale. Muslim scientists then were not only Arabs, but also people of other racial and ethnic groups such as Persians, East Indians, and Chinese. Decades ago, when the Italian Orientalist, Assendro Baussani, tried to hammer home the point that "Islam is an integral part of western intellectual culture," he was one of the few western voices then aware of the historical role of Islam in European civilization. Very few people today know that Ibn Sina's best medical work, The Canon of Medicine, was taught for centuries in western universities and was one of the most frequentlyprinted scientific texts of the Renaissance. When the famous 13th-century theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas, wanted to create a new rational theology, he studied an Islamized Arabic version of Aristotle. Aquinas realized that Aristotle had found a new home in Islam, so he wanted to seek one in Christianity as well. Given the fact that today some people believe in an imminent "clash of civilizations" and a fundamental incompatibility between Islam and the west, it is worth remembering that our two civilizations do share a precious intellectual heritage. The west takes great pride in modern science as one of the greatest achievements of its intellect, an achievement no one should deny or belittle. Modern science could not have developed without the Renaissance. But without Islamic science and philosophy to build on, there would have been no Renaissance!
There are seven Articles of Faith in Islam. These basic beliefs shape the Islamic way of life. 1- Belief in the Oneness of God: There is One God, Supreme and Eternal, Creator and Provider, Who is Merciful and Compassionate. God has neither father nor mother, and no sons or daughters. God has never fathered anyone, nor was He fathered. God has no equals. He is God of all humankind, not of a special tribe, race, or group of people. He is the God of all races and colours, of believers and unbelievers alike.
God is Mighty and Supreme, yet is also very near to pious, thoughtful believers, answering their prayers and helping them. God asks us to know Him, to love Him, and to follow His Law, for our own benefit and salvation. 2- Belief in the Angels of God Angels are pure and spiritually obedient beings, created by God to fulfill His commands and worship Him tirelessly. 3- Belief in the Revelations (Books) of God Muslims believe in the Revelations sent by Almighty God to His Prophets and Messengers including the Qur'an, the Torah, the Gospel, the Scrolls of Abraham and the Psalms of David. 4- Belief in the Prophets of God All Messengers and Prophets of God such as Noah, Moses, Solomon, Jesus and Muhammad were mortal human beings endowed with Divine Revelations and appointed by God to teach humankind how to submit to His will and obey His Laws. 5- Belief in the Day of Judgment Muslims believe in an appointed Day of Judgment and in Heaven and Hell. 6- Belief in Premeasurement (Qadar) Muslims believe that Almighty God has knowledge of, and control over, everything that exists in all time and space. 7- Belief in Resurrection after Death After the world ends, Muslims believe that all people who have died will be brought back to life (or, resurrected) in order to face the Judgment rendered to each of them by Almighty God.
Muslims belong to one of the two main branches of allegiance in Islam -- the majority are Sunni (comprising more than 90% of believers) or Shia'. The basic difference between the two is that the Shia' School believes in the necessity for a spiritual leader from the Family of the Prophet Muhammad, hence a religious structure. The Sunni School on the other hand, does not necessarily require the same. Each local Muslim Community, whether Sunni or Shia', has one or more religious leaders (people who have attained formal Islamic education or who are proficient in Islamic knowledge). This kind of leader is often referred to as an Imam, Director of the Islamic Centre, or Khateeb (one who gives the Sermon, or Khutba).
Islamic laws distinguish among: Halal, or that which is permitted by God the Law-Giver; Mustahabb, that which is loved by God but is not obligatory and is rewardable; Makruh, that which is disliked, but is a lesser degree than Haram; and Haram, that which is prohibited. Anyone who engages in Haram is liable for God's punishment and in an Islamic State may be subject to legal prosecution and discipline.
Some supportive issues include: The basic principle in Islamic law is that all things and actions are allowed (Halal), except those which are specifically prohibited by God. Every thing or action which is Haram is very harmful to the individual and/or the family, community, etc. Good intentions do not make any Haram action acceptable. Doubtful things are best to be avoided. Whatever leads to Haram is in itself considered Haram. God has prohibited (as Haram) all killing (except for capital punishment), stealing, robbing, consumption of any intoxicant, all types of gambling, sex outside marriage, all types of pornography and prostitution, homosexuality, wasteful spending and consumption, interest on money (usury), bribery, spreading gossip and backbiting. Additionally art, music, movies, TV, books, or magazines that promote any acts which are Haram are prohibited.
In Islam, clothing has two purposes; to cover the body and to modestly beautify one's appearance. Men are to dress modestly, not imitating women. Women's clothing must cover all of the body including the head, and should not be tight or transparent. For a Muslim, there are two types of food and drink; Halal (lawful) and Haram (unlawful). Unlawful, forbidden (Haram) food and drink includes: Meat from dead animals that died naturally through accidents [except fish], or by strangling, falling, beating, or being killed by
wild animals. Blood that has poured forth (as distinguished from the blood adhering to flesh or organs). Flesh of swine, such as bacon or pork, including all products and byproducts (lard, pepsin, gelatin, etc.) prepared from swine. Only vegetable oil is used for frying and in the preparation of bread, salad dressing, desserts, muffins, other bakery products, etc. Food upon which any other name has been invoked, besides that of God. Intoxicants, including all types and varieties of alcohol and intoxicating drugs. The Islamic method of slaughtering an animal or bird follows these steps: First, the Muslim mentions God's name as a reminder that God has command over the life of all creatures. Taking life from an animal or a bird is done by God's permission for the sole purpose of obtaining food.

1. The mini-pageant
RuPaul kicked things off with a mini-pageant making it clear this episode was all about Coco and Alyssa. Of course, the girls took advantage of the challenge to throw shade at each other. "She's won several pageants," Coco said when describing her pageant daughter. "Unlike Savannah [read: Alyssa], she completed all of her reigns." Well, alright!
"Miss Gay America: The Sequel" was on.
2. The challenge
Of course, Coco and Alyssa were split up during the main challenge. Why settle with making each other miserable when they can spread the bedazzled misery and lack of talent around?
Miss Fish Edwards was downgraded to a creepy, cross-dressing Uncle. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas showgirl was turned into a sideshow act. No one was pleased.
3. The showdown
The showdown couldn't have come soon enough. Since the moment Coco first walked onto the set, the show has been playing up the old drama between these two. And now it was time to get to the bottom of it. While we never learned who the true bottom was, we did learn that both felt they were wronged by the other. SHOCKING.
(For anyone that cares about the drama itself: Alyssa won the title in 2010. She lost her crown for violating some unspecified rule. A rule that Coco made sure the judges knew about. Coco then took the title for herself.)
But enough of that. Back to the fight which had more facial reactions than Speidi fight on The Hills.
4. The runway
When it came down to it, RuPaul wasn't having any of the drama. Alyssa got the free pass but Coco didn't do enough to save her own ass. Her crying just helped her secure her spot in the bottom two.
5. The lip-sync
Coco brought the fire to the lip-sync. She did hair flips around Monica, who looked more vacant that Audrina Patridge. When it was revealed that Coco was safe, Alyssa served up Glenn Close Fatal Attraction realness.
Now, it's on between these two. Let's just hope they take each other both down by the end of the fight.

Electrical gremlins held up Lewis Hamilton in Italian Grand Prix practice on Friday (local time) after the Mercedes driver had lapped more than half a second quicker than anyone else in the morning session.
The Briton, who retired from the race in Belgium 12 days ago after team mate and championship leader Nico Rosberg hit the back of his car, missed an hour of the afternoon running as mechanics replaced sensors on his car.
Hamilton was still fastest overall on the day, with a best time of one minute, 26.187 seconds set before lunch. Rosberg was top of the afternoon timesheets with a best of 1:26.225, just ahead of his team mate.
"Hopefully I'll be able to have the full session tomorrow and get some good running," said Hamilton, who has had more than his share of mechanical problems this season while Rosberg has motored on.
"Monza is quite an important circuit to put the car at the front as it's very difficult to overtake here. It would be great to have a trouble-free qualifying tomorrow."
Jenson Button, Hamilton's former team mate at McLaren, was second fastest in the morning in 1:26.810 with Rosberg - who has never been on the Monza podium - pushed back to third in 1:26.995.
Hamilton is 29 points behind Rosberg in the championship with seven races remaining and is determined to claw his way back against his German rival, who was punished by the team for the Spa collision.
"I didn't feel 100 percent confident in the car, so I can't be happy with today and I have a lot of work to do tonight with the boys," said Rosberg.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was fourth fastest in both sessions at the fastest circuit on the calendar, with team mate Kimi Raikkonen third in the afternoon.
"That was a very busy day, but a positive one. We made the most of every minute available to us in both sessions," said Raikkonen, who has never won Ferrari's home race.
Williams' Valtteri Bottas was fifth in the second practice after a quiet morning and Button was sixth for McLaren, who last won a race in 2012.
Red Bull's quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel, last year's winner at the 'cathedral' of Italian motorsport, was sixth and seventh while Australian team mate Daniel Ricciardo was 16th and 10th.
Ricciardo, as good as Italian to many of the home fans and chasing his third win in a row, was sidelined for some of the first session with a power unit problem.
"Obviously we want to be a bit further up, but I think we can chip away at it tomorrow, the Mercedes will be quick, but if we can sneak into the top five in qualifying then we'll have a good crack at the race," said Ricciardo.
"Getting temperature into the tyres is tricky, especially for the first timed lap."
At the slow end of the field, Spanish driver Roberto Merhi made his debut appearance at a Formula One weekend and lapped faster than regular race driver Marcus Ericsson in the other Caterham.
Merhi handed the car back to Japanese Kamui Kobayashi, returning after being dropped by the team for Spa, for the afternoon and rest of the weekend.
Spanish reserve driver Daniel Juncadella also had a stint with Force India while Frenchman Charles Pic was handed compatriot Romain Grosjean's Lotus for the session.

Odom feels pain in foot, but expected to play
Lamar Odom experienced pain in his left foot Tuesday, but an MRI revealed nothing significant and the Lakers forward left with the team to Utah.
An injury to Odom would hamper the Lakers from closing out the first part of the season on a winning note.
Already without Bynum, who is nursing a bruised right hip and not expected to play against the Jazz, and possibly Kobe Bryant, who is a game-time decision because of his sprained left ankle, an injured Odom would leave the Lakers without three of their top five scorers.
Odom has come up big lately for the Lakers, pulling in 22 rebounds and scoring 10 points in a victory at Portland, and adding 16 points and 10 rebounds in Monday's victory against the Spurs. He is averaging 9.8 points and 9.9 rebounds.

The Museum Center at 5ive Points' Annual Gala will be held on Friday, Sept. 19 at 6:30 p.m. This year's black-tie event, "Friday Night Fever" salutes the era of polyester and disco as the seventies come to life at the Museum Center. Proceeds benefit the museum's slate of dynamic exhibits and educational programs for our community. Tickets include an evening with cocktails, dinner, live and silent auctions, and a live concert event with the "Kings of Disco" – the Village People. Black tie or period attire is requested.
"We've been able to make significant progress over the past year in regards to the quality of our exhibits and programming and we certainly couldn't do it without the support of the community," said Executive Director Hassan Najjar. "All of us are getting ready to catch "Friday Night Fever" and we are certainly thankful to Check Into Cash for sponsoring the Village People in what will certainly be an unforgettable night".
"The Village People are legendary for their amazing concerts and Check Into Cash is proud to help the museum by bringing them to town," said President Steve Scoggins of Check Into Cash. "When you mention the greatest acts in history, the Village People are right up there with Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and even the newer stars like Carrie Underwood. This is as good as it gets."
"The money raised by our Annual Gala is an essential part of our yearly operating budget and the announcement that the Village People will be our entertainment means this years event will be another huge success," says President of the Board of Trustees Andy Brown. "The Museum thrives because of the support of our members, the community, and individuals like the Jones family. Their generosity is a significant part of why the Museum continues to thrive".
The Annual Gala will honor Allan and Janie Jones and their contributions to the Museum Center and our community. "The Museum Center at 5ive Points would also like to thank Jones Management for their support as well as supporting sponsors, Bank of Cleveland and the McReynolds Family Foundation. Additional support for the Annual Gala is provided by: Richard and Amy Banks, First Tennessee, and Logan-Thompson, P.C," officials stated.
The Museum Center at 5ive Points tells the story of the Ocoee region through exhibitions and educational programming that promotes history, culture, and preservation. The Museum Store features arts, crafts, and books from select artists, craftsman, and authors from within a 200-mile radius. Hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The museum is closed Sunday, Monday, and on select holidays. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and students, and free for children under 5. Members of the Museum receive free admission. Group rates are available and the Museum's facilities can be rented year-round for weddings and special events.

However, the attacks did not affect online retailers' ability to accept payments.
A group of WikiLeaks supporters who dub themselves Anonymous took down MasterCard.com and Visa.com for several hours today. However, it seems online retailers could still accept payments throughout the outage. MasterCard.com is now accessible; Visa.com was not, as of 4:30 p.m. CST.
The group reportedly launched a denial-of-service attack—a form of hacking in which criminals crash a site by flooding it with requests—in response to MasterCard and Visa's moves to cut off payments to the controversial site, which has released a flood of secret government documents to the public in the past few months.
However, it seems the attacks have not prevented online retailers from accepting Visa or MasterCard payments. A handful of retailers told Internet Retailer they could still take card payments throughout the day.
"Everything is good on my front," says Eric McCoy, CEO of shoe retailer Heels.com. "There's been nothing strange on any payment front."
Independent clothing retailer Moxsie.com also says it was not impacted. "We haven't seen any complaints or issues so far," says Julia Kung director of marketing for Moxsie.
Mitch Lieberman, CEO and founder of One Way Furniture Inc., No. 406 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, also reports no problems related to the attack. "I don't believe MasterCard payments were affected based upon the data we are looking at," he says. Home improvement e-retailer Build.com, No. 97 in the Top 500 Guide, also says the hacks did cause any disruptions to accepting online payments.
According to the Anonymous Twitter page, the attacks are part of an ongoing campaign, called Operation:Payback, that fights against "major anti-piracy & anti-freedom entities."
Recent posts on the Twitter page include: "Hackers Take Down Visa.com in the Name of Wikileaks, Wow, this is getting crazy," "IT'S DOWN, KEEP FIRING" and "NEXT TARGET: WWW.VISA.COM. GET YOUR WEAPONS READY!"
The Swiss bank used by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange also was hacked for freezing the leaders account, according to the group's Twitter page.
"Hacking has become a tool for making political statements," says Mike Gualtieri, a senior analyst who specializes in payment security at Forrester Research, Inc. "Having said that, firms better not let themselves become victims of these types of attacks. I am truly amazed at how many firms do not do comprehensive threat modeling and vulnerability mitigation."
Visa says that Visa.com is currently experiencing heavier than normal traffic. "The company is taking steps to restore the site to full operations within the next few hours."
MasterCard did not immediately respond for a request to comment.

Romped around the International District with these two. Cord works for a Japanese company and the two of them hold a special place in their hearts for the ID, which was great for me since it was an awesome change of scenery. It's one of the great things about Seattle — you can gather so much from goodness & character from a few square blocks. And who needs cherry blossoms when you find an entire mural of them complete with a portrait of Bruce Lee?
Can't wait for these two to get married in July. Love these sweet souls.

Academics, researchers, tax administrators, students, tax practitioners, consultants and decision-makers on fiscal and tax policy in Africa will gather in Cape Town from 2 to 4 September for the inaugural conference of the African Tax Research Network (ATRN.)
The conference, with the theme "Contemporary Tax Challenges for African Countries", will provide an opportunity for the delegates to discuss different aspects relating to national, regional and international tax matters. Academics and practitioners from around the world have been invited to submit papers which will be discussed at the conference..
The conference, at the Garden Court on Nelson Mandela Boulevard, will be addressed by former Minister of Finance, Trevor Manuel, and tax commissioners from around the continent, including the South African Revenue Service Commissioner, Tom Moyane. Other prominent speakers include:
Some of the topics under discussion will include the major drivers of revenue losses on the continent (such as illicit financial flows and trade mispricing) and how the continent can maximise domestic revenue. The ATRN conference consists of two parts: there will be three policy panel discussions and several research sessions where more than 40 academic and policy papers will be discussed.
There will be a panel discussion on how investing in improved tax systems can make a critical difference to improve the nexus between policy and administration and enhance domestic revenue mobilisation, promote foreign direct investment, transparency and accountability and improve the standard of living in Africa.
Another panel will discuss the outcomes of the third International Conference on Financing for Development, which took place in Addis in July 2015, the implications for Africa and the role of African organisations.
Case studies from, among others, Burundi, Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Togo, Liberia, Zanzibar, Angola, Ethiopia and Tanzania, will also be discussed.
ATRN chairperson, Dr Nara Monkam, said that they had sought out high-quality submissions that further the knowledge and understanding of national, regional and international tax matters. Some of these papers will be discussed and debated at the conference.
ATRN was born out of the African Tax Administrators Forum (ATAF) and is the first African based network of academics and researchers that deals with tax policy, legislation and administration at an academic and policy discussion level.
ATRN's board consists of academics and researchers from, among others, the University of Nairobi in Kenya, Stellenbosch University, the University of South Africa, the University of Bambey in Senegal, the University of Rouen in France, the National School of Statistics and Applied Economics in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire,) the National School of Administration and Magistracy in Benin, the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority and the Rwanda Tax Authority.
ATAF is the coordinating body for tax issues in Africa. It is a platform to promote mutual cooperation among tax administrations throughout Africa, and works towards developing state building and governance in Africa. ATAF is currently represented in about 40 countries throughout the continent.
ATAF executive secretary, Logan Wort, said the launch of ATRN was an important initiative to promote greater research capacity on matters of taxation in Africa. One of ATRN's aims was to develop thought leaders in tax matters on the continent and to broaden the base of tax experts.

Michael Moore sat down with Piers Morgan to react to the assault weapons ban dying quietly in the Senate without even being brought to a floor vote and how much influence the NRA has over members of Congress. Moore was particularly critical of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for letting the assault weapons ban go without even being voted on, remarking that if a crazed gunman killed Reid's grandchildren, he would not be so willing to let the ban die in the Senate.
Moore railed against the power of the NRA, with Morgan saying that "the majority is being out-shouted and out-gunned" by the NRA. When Morgan brought up how Reid dropped the assault weapons ban, Moore got even angrier, encouraging anyone watching to e-mail Reid's office to demand that it be put back in. He said Republicans should be put on the spot and "forced to vote on this." Morgan brought up Rob Portman's gay marriage reversal coming from his own son being gay, and couldn't help but wonder how much the debate would change if there were members of Congress whose children were victims of gun violence. Moore was a lot more graphic in his assessment.

1. Can the Cougs' o-line make the grade?
Fifty-seven. That's the gaudy number of sacks WSU surrendered in 2012. Sure, the Cougs will likely have higher than normal sack totals and lower rushing numbers in the Air Raid. That's just a given. But 57 sacks is well beyond the pale.
Mike Leach points out that the Cougs were limited to just six offensive linemen (for the most part) in 2012, and two of them began their WSU careers as walk ons. That the line was undersized was another big reason they were torn asunder much of the season.
WSU loses only one starter, RT Wade Jacobson from 2012. The four returnees are LG John Fullington center Elliott Bosch, RG Jake Rodgers and LT Gunnar Eklund. Matt Goetz also started five games at right guard.
Fullington and Bosch earned honorable mention all-Pac-12 honors for their work a year ago.
HEADING INTO SPRING BALL, the simple question about the Cougars' offensive line is this: Will they be bigger and better?
They'll have to be if WSU is going to post 6-plus wins and go bowling.
On one hand, WSU in 2012 came awfully close to the most passing yards in program history, with 3,965 air hashes. But the Cougs averaged just 20.4 points per game, with countless promising drives stalling when the o-line couldn't open run lanes or protect the QB.
Where some of the returnees line up is uncertain based upon their placing in 2012.
Fullington played both left guard and left tackle this past season, with an emphasis on guard. Rodgers started at no fewer than four spots, all but center.
THERE ARE AT least three who appear likely to challenge the quintet of Fullington, Bosch, Rodgers, Eklund and Goetz for a starting job and JUCO transfer Jacob Seydel is one of them. He will not be afforded the luxury of easing into Pac-12 play. The Cougs need him to be Pac-12 ready now.
Eduardo Middleton earned the most praise of all the redshirting o-linemen last year from Leach. The uber-athletic Middleton was 6-5, 294 last season as a true freshman.
Rico Forbes was a likely starter last year before injuries shuttered his season.
Beyond those three, Sam Flor also will be given a long look, having done some good work his first season at WSU while redshirting.
Joe Dahl is a darkhorse. He's not overly big but he was beginning to emerge in the latter half of the season on the practice squad.
Denzell Dotson and newly-arrived grayshirt B.J. Salmonson are others who could also factor in the battle for jobs this season, Dotson in particular.
The competition doesn't figure to be any less heated later on in fall camp. And while they are more likely to redshirt than not, you also can't rule out Cole Madison (6-6, 270) and Matt Meyer (6-6, 290).
But first things first, and a greatly improved o-line this spring is a must.

I too picked up a G12 at the super low price at B&H. I'm still eagerly awaiting it. I am upgrading for two reasons: I need the G12's HD video (the G11's VGA video is not adequate even for YouTube) and I want the extra control wheel. Now I just need to figure out what to do with my G11 because there's no reason to keep it but it's still a very, very good camera.

Carnival Elation Cruise Review by tjohns11: Losing Interest
Overall Member Rating
Losing Interest
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Progreso
Sailed on the Elation on Sept.30. Our sixth cruise with carnival. Have to say that the entertainment and food left a lot to be desired. I guess with the economy going south so does the quality of your vacation. Getting away from everyday work and responsibility was wonderful. The staff was perfect, even tho, due to Tropical Storm Karen causing us to spend two extra days on the ship, going back and forth, it was as good a trip as it could be.
Usually the entertainment would keep you busy all day and time would fly by ending your trip too soon this trip I was bored on day three. Land vacations are looking a whole lot better. I am a non smoker and usually the ship don't allow smoking in many places, this trip the weather was bad making smoking inside hard to breath in many areas. Disembarking was total crazy. Staff could not control the crowd and when it was time for the diamond and platinum passengers to exit the ship, they allowed everyone to slip around the corridors and get More off the boat instead of looking to see what levels they had actually been assigned to.

One of Mark Twain's wryer observations provides the title for this captivating chronicle of a year in the life of the best golfers on the planet. Rich in the inherent drama and tension of competition, and filled with irony, humor, color, and personal detail, John Feinstein's A Good Walk Spoiled ambles beyond fairways and greens into an often-powerful examination of the pressures tour pros--from established stars such as Greg Norman and Nick Price to those constantly on the bubble--carry in their bags, and the elusive search for perfection in their games that keeps these remarkable athletes so focused and driven.
The golf book of the season...his dissection of the pressures of life where the cost oe one fluffed shot can be counted in tens of thousands of dollars will provide a salutary check to the dreams of a legion of club golfers. SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Feinstein is a brilliant reporter, a remorseless digger for information with a gift for establishing affinities with golfers reputedly reluctant to bare their souls ... There is an excellent profile of Tom Watson, which pumps blood into that enigmatic figure, and no better observation of Nick Faldo's obsession with the game has ever been written ... The professional golf circuit is now a manic, driven circus and Feinstein, without plunging into tabloid mire, has captured it in a sweeping canvas ... A stunning documentary on the modern professional game Ian Wooldride in THE GUARDIAN Excellent. DAILY TELEGRAPH A sparkling account... If you only read one sports book a year, this is the one. THE ECONOMIST Worthy of a place in the front rank of sports books ... So thorough that you can almost see the golfer's spike marks on each page THE TIMES Highly recommended SUNDAY TIMES Feinstein gets right inside the mindset, capturing the insularity, the comradeship and the little barbs of bitterness. The catty relationship between the superstars of golf and the workaday professionals who make up the supporting cast on the tour provided splendid material ... A wonderful portrait of a professional sport and a swathe of American society IRISH TIMES -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch.Alle Produktbeschreibungen
Mr. Feinstein makes it feel as if your with the players and part of them. The candid comments allow us to see the human side of these great athletes, their hopes and dreams, their sorrows and tragedies. I have read the book twice, and quoted it to others so often I can't remember.
In fact, I loaned this book out so many times to other golfers, I have lost track of the last "borrower". All of those who have borrowed it, bought there own copy to enjoy themselves -- again! Thats when I get my copy back. What more can be said?
If you want to give a wonderful gift to your golfer, or just someone interested in the game....this is it. Thank you Mr. Feinstein...A wonderful piece of work, and destined to be a golf classic
