The Montreal Alouettes have added a trio of veterans to their roster, signing quarterback Quinton Porter, defensive back Byron Parker and receiver Arland Bruce the Third.
It's been a big week in terms of changes for the Alouettes. With Marc Trestman accepting the head coaching job in Chicago, it's still unsure who will be behind the bench for Montreal this season. But says he's not worried.
"I haven't experienced anything like that. But the GM Jim Pop, I think he's going to find someone who can relate to the players and make the right choice. Whatever coach it is, i'll be able to adjust, being 12 years in the game...i'm looking forward to it."
Parker, a nine-year CFL veteran has 236 career defensive tackles and 29 interceptions under his belt with B.C., Toronto and Edmonton. He says it will be nice to have Anthony Calvillo on his side for a change,.
"AC has put me out of the Eastern Conference final four times, so he's four for four. My first career interception for a touchdown was against him, but to negate that he broke the record on me when I was in Toronto. Hopefully we come in with a clean slate. Anthony has been one of my favorite quarterbacks to play against because I just like the way he plays. He plays the game it's supposed to be played. He's a legend".

CANADENSIS, Pa. — A northeastern Pennsylvania man accused of robbing a Connecticut cab driver has been charged with stealing $59,000 from his grandmother to support his drug habit.
Investigators say 27-year-old Ryan Michael Gilson falsified bank statements for his grandmother's accounts to cover up the withdrawals he made from her accounts while living with the 73-year-old woman in Barrett Township, Monroe County.
The Stroudsburg Pocono Record reports Gilson admitted stealing money to support his addiction to prescription pain killers during an interview with police last month but wasn't immediately arrested because the investigation was ongoing.
Gilson was arrested in Groton, Conn. after he and his brother allegedly robbed a cab driver. He remains jailed and authorities plan to extradite him to Pennsylvania.

Are Debit Cards Really More Costly for Merchants? Assessing Retailers' Costs and Benefits of Payment Instrument Acceptance
Anne Layne-Farrar
Charles River Associates; Northwestern University
September 9, 2011
Payment cards have been a perennial source of debate among economists. That debate received additional fodder in 2011 with passage of the Durbin Amendment, which targets debit card interchange fees. I assess the claim that the merchant side of the debit card payment platform has paid more than its "fair share" for debit transactions. I find no evidence to support the view that debit cards are more costly for merchants to accept than other payment instruments, like cash or check. To the contrary, when relevant incremental costs and benefits are included, debit cards are most often one of the cheapest payment instruments for retailers to accept.

Lead device concept: Give early access to the software to partners who build and distribute devices to our specification (ie, Motorola and Verizon). They get a non-contractual time to market advantage and in return they align to our standard.
quote: blackwhite ...this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink.

Syracuse, NY -- A nearly century-old national youth program is starting a new chapter in Syracuse and is seeking adult volunteers to teach and mentor city teens.
The Eastwood Neighborhood Association is sponsoring the Police Athletic/Activities League, or PAL, program to be held at the James Street United Methodist Church.
The emphasis of the group will be on art and cultural activities, as opposed to recreational activities, the Rev. Roosevelt Baums said. Baums is chairman of the neighborhood association's youth committee and pastor of the James Street United Methodist Church.
The group is seeking adults who would be able to teach music, arts, writing, story telling and more, he said. The recruitment of youth to the program will follow once adult
leadership is in place, he said.
Baums, a former sheriff's deputy, said Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler approved their application and now the group is reaching out to the sheriff's office, as well.
The Eastwood group needed Fowler's approval to have its program accepted into the national PAL program, a spokesman for the group said.
The National PAL program is a youth crime-prevention organization that can be customized to the community, PAL spokesman Eric Widness said. The national organization provides local organizations with educational materials, donated items and access to grants, he said.
The organization began in 1914 in New York City and the 20 PAL chapters in the state are mostly around the New York City area. There are Upstate chapters in Albany, Buffalo, Greece and Niagara Falls. There are about 350 PAL chapters in 45 states.
The neighborhood association was looking for a youth program for some time, former association president Sue Straub said. The PAL program seemed to be a good fit, she said.
Anyone wishing to volunteer should contact Baums at 412-1961.
Contact Robert A. Baker at firstname.lastname@example.com or 470-2182..

Feds Go after Nutraslim and LeanSpa Flogs
Performance Marketing Insider has learned that both the FTC and the State of Connecticut have launched actions against LeanSpa and Nutraslim, owned and operated by Boris Mizhen of Connecticut. The actions accuse Mr. Mizen through his companies of taking over $25M from consumers through the use of Flogs and fake news sites to promote their products. These websites offered the diet and "cleansing" properties of Acai berrries using the names of LeanSpa, Pure HCA, LeanSpa Cleanse and other names.
According to the complaint, the defendants sold their products through several CPA affiliate networks that are not named in the lawsuit. "Defendants paid affiliate networks millions of dollars and had knowledge that consumers were lured to their websites through fake news sites featuring their products," says the complaint. Fake headlines such as "1 Trick of Tiny Belly: Reporter Loses her "Belly" using 1 Easy Time" were promoted on these fake sites.
The FTC claims that amongst other things, the offer claimed to offer a free trial, but actually billed consumers credit cards immediately $79.99 and made it close to impossible to cancel the subscription. The companies make it a "great difficulty reaching a live person … and if they do speak with someone, they are told they must navigate through a series of steps, including obtaining a Return Merchant Authorization number, returning the product back to a facility, and paying postage costs for returning the product." When consumers did cancel the subscription, the defendant would still charge their cards for the "Free Trial."
The FTC is seeking to have all funds of the company seized and all money and profits turned over the government as part of their prosecution.

Does this http://blog.clickbooth.com/2011/04/21/clickbooth-partners-protecting-consumers/ mean CB will terminate GMTracker.com for running this scam? How could CB not know this is coming to them? Talking out of both sides of your mouth still huh?
I am sure the FTC watches this site and these comments.
2011-11-21 at 18:15
Every corner of the social media and the networking sites really has it's cons just like scamming. Really hoped that the world government would take an action about this, by imposting some laws to help the victims. I really hoped so that the seized money would go through the government unto the people. Not government unto government's pockets.

Isn't EVERY (I mean E-V-E-R-Y) free-trial offer a scam?
I have seen them from so many years, even before the CPA networks were popular and 'quit smoking' or 'stop snoring' type offers were HOT on Commission Junction.
They looked so attractive & easy to promote. But do a little research and you will come up with hundreds of complains. Same thing for literally EVERY company I have researched – that offers FREE trial offers.
What they are supposed to do is – have an awesome product that customers re-order several times more. So the lifetime value of a customer is very high. And this way they can offer free trials – give out great commissions – as a loss-leader, and still make good money on the repeat sales of the product.
But they all have found a much easier way. SCAM them -> Offer a free trial and bill them for $70-120 'immediately'. Also make it nearly impossible to cancel. So you don't have to risk having to wait 6-8 months for the customer to re-order and to break even on the deal.
Even now there's so much of this scam going on, makes me wonder what the FTC is doing. Think if honest people like us want to do business, then we must form a group and actively report all the scamsters we come across to the authorities. Or else, it would be impossible to compete with somebody having an unfair advantage.
2011-11-22 at 08:02
No, not every free trial offer is a scam. Sending a real product, having real customer service team makes the difference. I have tried many free trial offers, from credit reporting to a variety of other things. To cancel required filling out a form or a phone call.
The FTC has gone after, and is still going after people.. almost a dozen suits this year.

I'm so glad you found this board. It seems like one of those when-you-are-ready-the-path-will-appear type things.
You survived what seems like a concerted campaign to totally fuck you up amazingly well.
Look, you do you! Take care of yours! Sometimes the hardest thing in life is letting go of the things we don't understand...and WOW, he seems like a tough one to understand!
Congrats on your sobriety and your love for mother earth, her earthlings and cute beasts, oh, and high-five on your going vegan! You sound like a mom who has some hard life lessons, and from some of my experiences, those kinda mommas tend to be some of the best kinda mommas...even if it takes a while to truly find your footing!
Peace, love, and light!
*hugs* Just keep doing what you're doing. I'm sorry you're going through this.
Parenthood is letting your child elbow you in the boob because they're having so much fun bouncing around that you can't imagine telling them to stop.
With the things that you're dealing with, I'd be worried if you weren't full of grief and rage. And anxiety. I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
I mean, you've been dealing with these horrible people since you were a child, and every time they did something bad to you, your honest emotion was stuffed down and suppressed by guilt. Instead of, "That asshole!" you thought, "But my family loves me and has done so much for me and I can't feel angry at them because that is THE BAD and so I just have to ignore this inappropriate emotion!" That would lead to a lot of suppressed emotions, which in my experience often come back as depression or self-hatred or self-harm or self-medication.
You're processing, what, 20 years? 30 years? of bullshit cruelty inflicted on you by your FOO. It is not going to feel good, not until the wound is cleaned and disinfected and rebandaged and starts healing, at least.
As far as the stressors, I'm suddenly wondering--do you need to completely leave the city you're living in right now? You have to leave the house, because you're renting from FOO, but could you move to a different place, same city, and stay for another year while your husband works at his current job? Or move somewhere half-way between the two cities, with a reasonable commute for DH? I'd start thinking of ways to diminish the disruption in the short term, for you as well as your family, and to keep your support system strong.
Also, caffeine, chocolate and long walks help me reduce anxiety. YMMV, but make taking care of yourself while you process a priority.
You are like the blind man who suddenly can see, and finds that the lovely home he supposedly had is really a rotted shack in the middle of a garbage dump. It will take time, but you will get through this. You are amazing.

Those feelings - and the physical symptoms (feeling like you can't breathe, etc.) - are normal. Stress and anxiety do a number on you. You're handling it well - this is a hard thing, seeing your family for what they are, realizing how much they've done, losing the illusion that they were acting out of love for you - it's hard, it's stressful, it creates anxiety, you have to change the patterns of a lifetime, you have to get out of the habits of a lifetime.
It's not easy, and it's normal for it to be hard, to make you stressed. You're doing the right thing, you're taking care of yourself and your children and breaking the chain of toxic family and allowing them to mess with your children. You can do this, and it's not wrong that you're stressed. Take some extra time for yourself as you're getting through this - a nice warm bath or shower, a walk outside without a cell phone, etc.
Personally - I tend to a bit of anxiety - for FAR less cause than you have - and a nice little bit of Prozac really, really, really helps. It doesn't change who you are, it doesn't make you incapable of feeling emotions, including the stress and anxiety - it just makes the stress and anxiety a bit more controllable, helps with some of the irrational anxiety. If you can, it's a cheap medication a lot of the time can provide some help. It's not weakness - it doesn't fix emotional issues, it just stops any chemical imbalance from contributing more stress.
"Anyways, if you stopped tellin' people it's all sorted out after they're dead, they might try sorting it all out while they're alive"
- Good Omens
Hugs, OP, it sounds like you're making strides. I would remind yourself that this is similar to an addiction recovery program. Each step you take, each decision you make, each time you protect yourself and your family brings you closer to the healthier place you want to be.
I don't see a midpoint move. The problem they are having is that they seem to need to stay in one place until September to finish out the job and get savings, and then move to a specific other place. Try to think of this as a time of cocooning and growing a new you. It is trite, to say "Wherever you go/there you are" but its true. Ultimately, you are moving for a lot of reasons but you will still be the same person unless you do a lot of work to break free of the old Jess's relationships. In a sense, moving is something you are doing in order to find yourself but You can do a lot of the same work right where you are. We all advised you to move from the house your parent's own in order to begin the process of disentangling yourself from them. If you do that in the same city is it really that big a deal? You can still be working on your own emotional and mental health.

But several questions always loom large: How does information flow across the committees and up to senior management? Who is the risk monitoring "champion" at the senior...

It's almost closing time. This is the part of home buying that really drags.
The house that we are buying was the very first house we looked at.
We put in an offer 3 days later.
We were in a bidding war (since it's bank-owned) with 4 other people.
We fought like crazy to get this one specific document that was needed from Bank of America (since they "own" the house, I strongly dislike you, Bank of America!!) even though we were financed through Wells Fargo. When no one could properly help me, I had to resort to calling up the corporate latter for days on end until I finally had a lady in their financing department over in NYC help me out and do the job right. People, I fought for this house.
After we won the bid, everything went super fast. General inspection, appraisal, termite inspection, and final inspection.
Now, we are just playing the waiting game waiting for the bank to release one specific document that releases the escrow papers which then releases the keys into our hands.
We really need prayer today that this happens today or tomorrow so that we can get the keys by Friday because my hard-working husband has been working 10 miserably long days in order for him to take a 4-day weekend off so that we can get this house move-in ready (since it's been abandoned for 10 months). I think we'll be super bummed if we're sitting around all weekend just waiting. But oh well, we'll make the most of it and go see "The Hunger Games" again or something. We always do.
But please, pray hard, wont'cha? :)
In the meantime, it's my job today to really come up with some concrete decisions about paint colors and whatnot. I have to confess that I've really dropped the ball on this. I think with a baby on the way, packing up the townhouse, babysitting a puppy and trying to maintain some sanity (and sleep!), I haven't really thought too much about this. I need to get moving!
We went to Home Depot (or Home Desperate, as Joshua liked to call it) and picked out some general paint colors that we like. We are definitely doing light grey walls in baby girl's nursery, and some grey throughout the house. We also found a really pretty buttermilk color and a really gorgeous sage green color for the kitchen. Sometime before April 30th (when our current lease is up), we'll be (or I should say, Joshua will be) pulling up the old carpet, painting all 2,100 square feet, installing carpet upstairs (well, Home Desperate will be), painting the current kitchen cabinets (they're in great shape but we don't like the color), laying down laminate hardwood floors downstairs, and cleaning the house like crazy.
So if you don't hear from me, that's why. Thank you in advance for your prayers for our sanity! And pray that we get the keys this week! :) xo
The only room in the house that's painted, ironically the room we'll use for the nursery. And yes, we are repainting, and no, it will not be purple or pink // Shopping for paint colors last night

Posthumous Citizenship Being Pushed For 911 Victims
From Hoy
January 30, 2002
The Mexican representative for immigrant issues will ask U.S. legislators to grant posthumous citizenship to the Mexicans that died in the terrorist attacks of September 11th, as well as to their surviving family members.
Juan Hernandez, appointed by President Vicente Fox to campaign for better treatment of Mexican immigrants, traveled to New York to meet with U.S. Representative Jose Serrano, a Democrat who supported a measure to grant citizenship to the victims of the attacks.
Hernandez told the press that he would ask Serrano to concede citizenship to the victims and their families, as well as allow that they be eligible to receive aid granted to U.S. citizens.
Hernandez_s office has given an initial payment of $3,300 to every Mexican family who lost a member in the attacks.
Hernandez said he is confident that Congress sensitivity will allow for a quick and favorable decision over this issue which the Fox administration considers a priority.
The Mexican community was the one group that was most affected by the September 11th attacks. Several Mexican nationals worked in the restaurants of the bottom floors of the World Trade Center Towers. Others labored as janitors and some were employed in the computer companies that disappeared when the twin towers were destroyed after two commercial airliners filled with passengers and fuel crashed into the buildings.

It's time to take action--but what would you do about gun control?
Tuesday President Obama talked specifics about future gun legislation he wants to see enacted.
That includes renewing the expired ban on assault weapons and tightening regulations that govern sales at gun shows.
"These tragedies must end and to end them we must change," the President recently said in Newtown, Connecticut.
But what and how? It's a question President Obama is not alone in asking.
"Something needs to be done, I don't know what but something," 18 year old Sally McCarthy said.
"I think there should be stiffer regulations yes," septuagenarian Mary-Ann Smith added.
A regulation that the dozen or so people we spoke with, both pro- and anti-gun alike, agreed on? That assault weapons have no place in public.
"Certainly a ban on assault weapons and I think limiting the amount of ammunition in a clip is a good place to start," Glen Erich said.
"We don't need them, don't need them for hunting, only people who need them are the military," gun owner Kevin Tyner said.
Other ideas include better enforcement of existing laws and better scrutiny of those wanting to buy guns.
"More attention should be made toward issues because something obviously snapped in this poor individual the perpetrator," another woman told us.
However the talk of tighter regulations,
"We're at the breaking point now. Have to go to the extreme now. Look what's happening," Ivy Ciancitto said,
Typically precludes the fear of rights being stripped.
"I don't want to see our government go crazy with banning guns and taking my rights to own a gun away, "Tyner told us.
Since taking office in 2008 this is the fourth time Mr. Obama has had to hug survivors, console victims, and comfort a community hurt by a mass shooting.
"We've heard since Columbine Bill Clinton said we need to take action, George Bush said it and nothing happened. Now President Obama said we need to take action and nothing happened," Mike Faccinetto said.
A lot of people including the President think that inaction could finally turn to action and lead to changes in gun laws.

How to stop biting your nails
Biting your nails isn't attractive. Not only is it potentially dangerous, as your nails harbor tons of bacteria, but it ruins your nail beds and makes your hands look exactly like they've been gnawed on all day. Having healthier nails can make you feel more confident about yourself, so why not try to kick the habit? Here's how to go about doing it, according to Glamour magazine.
If you haven't already tried a no-bite product, invest in one. These go on your nails and taste awful, so you won't want to have your fingertips anywhere near your mouth. Tabasco sauce also works if you dip each nail in it (that is, of course, unless you like the taste).
If you regularly bite your nails to fix breaks or rough spots, carry a nail file in your purse so you won't have to rely on your teeth. Use a product like Talika – Nail Regenerator Serum to bring your dead nails back to life and get them looking normal again.
That being said, it helps to invest in a good nail polish that will make your nails look great and prevent you from biting them. Lippmann Collection – Nail Lacquers have plenty of colors to choose from for DIY manicures. Keep your nails painted and pretty so you won't be tempted to ruin them.

I think it should be ok. A local electronics chain regularly sells

good sign. But, find out what the m/b and chipset are. One place

About MeI didn't dream of being a photographer... It wasn't my child hood dream or ambition in any sense to study for or commit my life to such a career as photography...Soon after high school I made the decision to begin a career as a heavy equipment technician. One day on a whim I decided to purchase a professional camera, A canon 50D and started to take pictures... Having no idea how to even work one of these, I just shifted buttons and snapped away, some good shots some bad... But little to my surprise, I discovered how much I enjoyed being out of the shop and on my own and creating an art that only I can do....
10 years after high school, being set in a great career, I have decided to get into the world of photography. I am currently studying and practicing photography in my own studio, and enjoying every minute of it...

Interview with Tracy Amalfitano
So,describe for me how your neighbors reacted to the fact that you didn't support the boycott?
Well, at that point in time, I, I guess I didn't think about what my neighbors thought until they started--staring at me in the morning when I walked my, ah, young son, who was then 12 and basically as tall as I was at the time and I guess maybe a little old to be walking to the bus but, ah, some people had started to--be a little violent and I wanted to assure his safety so I walked with him, ah, to the bus each morning. And, I suppose at first they--they were, ah, not happy that I was not supporting the boycott even though I was one person because then someone would say that, you know, it wasn't 100 percent boycott.

To date, 5 well-confirmed genes for Parkinson disease (PD) have been identified, including 3 autosomal recessive genes: PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1), parkin, and DJ-1. Almost nothing is known about the genetics of PD in Saudi Arabia; however, consanguineous families, not infrequent in this population, could be important in the evaluation of known PD genes and the search for new PD factors in the future.
To investigate known recessive PD genes in 5 consanguineous Saudi families with PD.
The entire open frame as well as the untranslated region and all 5′ and 3′ intron-exon boundaries of the PINK1, parkin, and DJ-1 genes were sequenced in 5 probands in Saudi families.
Four of 5 probands tested negative for PINK1, parkin, and DJ-1 mutations. However, in a large Saudi family with PD with at least 3 consanguineous marriages between first cousins, we detected a threonine to methionine substitution at codon 313 (T313M) PINK1 mutation that affected the kinase domain. Manifestations of the disease in this family included early onset (age, 28-38 years), tremulous movement, slow progression, diurnal fluctuations, bradykinesia, good response to levodopa therapy, and only mild dyskinesias. A neurologist blinded to genetic status clinically evaluated 15 family members, all older than 20 years, and diagnosed PD only in individuals who were later found to be homozygous for the T313M mutation. None of the 13 heterozygotes demonstrated any sign of PD.
A homozygous T313M mutation is responsible for PD in this large Saudi family. However, the heterozygous T313M mutation does not act as a PD susceptibility factor, which is in contrast to several reports of mutations affecting only 1 PINK1 allele discovered in sporadic PD.
Parkinson disease (PD) is the most common progressive movement disorder, characterized by the predominant loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and presence of intraneuronal Lewy body inclusions. The disease is mostly sporadic; fewer than 10% of PD cases are familial.1 Five well-confirmed PD genes have been identified. Mutations in α-synuclein2 and LRRK2ext-link ext-link-type="bibr" rid="REF-NOB60007-3"/ are responsible for autosomal dominant PD, and mutations in PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1),4parkin,5 and DJ-16 are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset PD.
PINK1 is located within the PARK6 locus on chromosome 1p36 and encodes a protein with a conserved protein kinase domain (G193-L507). PINK1 mutations were first described in consanguineous families of Italian and Spanish origin and are responsible for typical slowly progressive PD with onset before age 50 years.4,7,8 Subsequently, PINK1 mutations have been reported in Philippine, Taiwanese, Israeli, Japanese, Irish, and North American populations.9 Most PINK1 mutations have been detected in families with a recessive form of PD; however, there are several reports of mutations affecting only 1 PINK1 allele discovered in sporadic PD.10PINK1 protein is localized to the mitochondria and may have a protective effect against cell death; it reduces the basal neuronal proapoptotic activity and protects neurons from staurosporine-induced apoptosis.11 Loss of this protective function may lead to the neurodegeneration noted in patients with PINK1 mutations.
To our knowledge, there is only 1 report of PD genetics in Saudi families in which PD was linked to the parkin locus.12 We investigated 3 recessive PD genes in 5 consanguineous Saudi families with PD and report the clinical and genetic findings in a family with a T313M PINK1 mutation.
Informed consent for research purposes was obtained from all individuals involved in the study, which was approved by ethics and basic research committees. The subjects are members of 5 extended consanguineous families native to Saudi Arabia with PD with onset before age 50 years. All participants underwent standard neurologic examinations at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Blood samples and clinical information were obtained by a neurologist (S.B.) blinded to genetic status. Diagnosis of PD was based on published criteria.13
Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples using a QIAGEN kit (Venlo, the Netherlands). The entire open frames, as well as the untranslated region and all 5′ and 3′ intron-exon boundaries of PINK1, parkin, and DJ-1, were sequenced in 5 probands of Saudi families as previously described.14 Mutations were detected by direct inspection of the fluorescent chromatographs using Lasergene software (DNASTAR Inc, Madison, Wis). The frequency of the T313M mutation was evaluated in 110 healthy control subjects by using a restriction digest assay. PINK1 exon 4 was amplified13 and then digested with Fok1, and the restriction fragments were resolved on a 2% agarose gel (373 base pair [bp] for the wild type, and 118 bp and 255 bp for the mutant allele).
Four of 5 probands tested negative for mutations in PINK1, parkin, and DJ-1; however, in proband PD3, we identified a homozygous ACG-to-ATG PINK1 mutation in exon 4 at nucleotide position 1032 (messenger RNA Accession No. NM_032409), resulting in substitution of threonine to methionine at codon 313 (T313M) (Figure 1). This proband is a member of a highly consanguineous family with 21 individuals available for study (Figure 2). The proband is married to a first cousin heterozygous for the T313M mutation and has 6 children (3 heterozygous and 3 homozygous for the mutation who are too young to have developed PD). The proband's affected sibling (PD2) has a spouse who is not a mutation carrier, and all 4 children are heterozygous for the T313M mutation. This mutation was absent in 110 unrelated healthy control subjects of Saudi origin.

Sequence around the mutation site is shown, with the arrow pointing to substitution.
Pedigree structure of a PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)–linked consanguineous Saudi family with early-onset Parkinson disease. Solid symbols indicate affected individuals and double lines indicate consanguineous marriages. Genotypes for the PINK1 threonine to methionine substitution at codon 313 (T313M) mutation are shown for all assessed individuals. The gender of individuals has been masked to protect family confidentiality. Numbers indicate the participant's age at onset.
The PINK1-linked Saudi kindred originate from the western part of the Arabian Peninsula (Mecca). Parkinson disease was diagnosed in 4 family members (age at onset, 28-34 years; mean age, 32 ± 7 years). The family includes at least 3 consanguineous marriages between first cousins.
The proband (PD3) is 46 years old. At age 34 years, the proband began to notice intermittent tremulous movement of the right great toe with involuntary dorsiflexion of that toe. A year later, he noticed that the right side of his body was heavy and tremulous. The proband responded well to levodopa therapy and was able to resume normal daily activities. No depression, cognitive impairment, or psychiatric illness were noted. Motor fluctuation in the form of end-of-dose deterioration was noted 4 years after initiation of levodopa therapy. Mild peak-dose dyskinesia, off-period tremor, and dystonia were noted about 5 years later (9 years after disease onset). The proband is employed full time with no physical limitations. The proband is married to a first cousin and has 6 children aged 5 to 14 years. The proband's parents are also first cousins. Both are alive, at ages 67 and 70 years, and are unaffected carriers of the mutation.
The proband's affected sibling (PD2) is 38 years of age and began to notice turning in of the right foot and extension of the great toe at age 30 years, with generalized bradykinesia and tremor at about the same time. This subject responded well to levodopa and dopamine agonist therapy, but started to notice levodopa was less effective after 4 years, with no dyskinesia.
Two cousins of the proband (unavailable for genetic study), who are also the offspring of a consanguineous marriage, have a similar disease, with tremor and bradykinesia beginning at about age 28 years. After more than 15 years of levodopa therapy, they are ambulatory. A neurologist (S.B.), blinded to genetic status, clinically assessed 13 family members, all older than 20 years, who are heterozygous for the mutation. None of these individuals showed any sign of PD. The oldest carrier of the mutation is 70 years.
The mutation survey of known recessive PD genes in 5 consanguineous Saudi families uncovered a nonsynonymous T313M PINK1 substitution in a family with early-onset PD manifested by asymmetric tremor, dystonia, and rigidity. No cognitive impairment or major axial symptoms such as falling, impairment of postural reflexes, or dysarthria were observed.
A heterozygous T313M mutation in the Saudi family (13 carriers of the mutation) does not act as a susceptibility factor for development of PD, in contrast to reports of heterozygous mutations affecting only 1 PINK1 allele discovered in patients with sporadic PD.9 Current data suggest that, in patients with a single PINK1 mutation, additional genetic or environmental factors may exist. The T313M mutation was also recently reported in a Chinese family with recessive early-onset PD and clinical findings similar to those observed in the Saudi family,15 which further confirms the pathologic role of the T313M mutation in PD and indicates that codon 313 in PINK1 may be a mutational hot spot because it is affected in families of different ethnic origin.
The value of discovering large families such as the Saudi kindred is the possibility of a future longitudinal study of PINK1-linked PD. For example, the investigation of presymptomatic homozygous carriers could include testing the predictive value of neuroimaging techniques such as transcranial ultrasound examination of the substantia nigra and functional neuroimaging using positron emission tomography.

Bill Simmons sees a correlation between DeAndre Jordan and Kendrick Perkins: "Here's the reality: Perkins signed a four-year extension with Oklahoma City for $32.55 million (and got paid an extra $2 million last year as something of a signing bonus). That means Jordan's next contract should pay him about $32 million over four years in a world that makes sense. But because of the Saab corollary, because too many teams have money to spend, because restricted free-agent offers skew high (so they don't get matched) and because it's the NBA and teams just can't help themselves, get ready for a team to make Jordan a restricted offer around the "four years, $42 million" range. First of all … yikes. Second … Kendrick Perkins just threw his iPad through a window at 95 miles an hour."
Gary Dzen of the Boston Globe on the Rondo-Westbrook stuff: "There's a rumor that Ainge tried to trade Rondo for Westbrook after last year's playoffs and that the Thunder didn't have much interest. Fair enough that OKC wouldn't want to part with their rising star. But why are the Celtics trying to part with theirs?"
KD is considered by everyone to be a "pure scorer." But what the crap is a pure scorer anyway?
Byron Mullens is selling this dog.
The Cavs hired Tulsa 66ers coach Nate Tibbetts as an assistant. Tibbetts is listed as a "low-level assistant" but it's a big step up for him. He was considered one of the top D-League coaches in the league and was quietly one of the prizes of the Thunder organization in terms of development. Dale Osbourne, who was an assistant under Tibbetts in Tulsa, will replace him.
Thunder players are trickling in to the practice facility: "Thunder rookie Reggie Jackson, who technically can't become a member of the team until Friday, joined Durant Monday on the new practice courts. Thunder big men Nick Collison and Cole Aldrich have also now been in the new facility after spending much of the summer working out at their old college home, the University of Kansas."
OKC will play Phoenix New Year's Eve at home and at Memphis Dec. 28. Full schedule is released tonight.

Matt Cubeta at NHL.com gives his fantasy rankings for left wings with Brandon Dubinsky showing up at #16.
Dubinsky is ranked ahead of players such as James van Riemsdyk, Simon Gagne, Dustin Penner, Matt Moulson and Ville Leino.
…if Dubinsky can follow through on this lofty ranking he will be giving the Rangers some much needed secondary scoring this season.
…h/t to reader Jordan S.
Brad Richards is ranked #8 for centers.
Speaking of fantasy hockey, I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I will again be hosting a fantasy hockey league through the blog.
Last year's league was such a resounding success I had to bring it back. We had eight divisions of 10 teams for a total of 80 teams. There has already been a lot of interest so if participation gets out of control I'll probably limit it to 10 divisions of 10 teams for a total of 100 teams.
This year's grand prize will be a Dubinsky home blue jersey.
I will make an official announcement on the league and how to participate in about a week or so. First come first serve so make sure you're checking the blog every day.

Charges of Rape Rock the Colorado Football Team
Simpson's charges—last October she allowed her name to become public in a federal lawsuit filed a year earlier—were only the first gush in what has become a torrent of bad news for the University and its nationally ranked football program. In the last three months, two other women filed their own suits, alleging that they had also been sexually assaulted that same weekend by football players or recruits. Then in late January, portions of the depositions, complete with graphic details, were leaked to the press. To make matters worse for the school, Katie Hnida, 22, a former kicker on the Colorado football team, came forward in the Feb. 23 issue of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED to say that she had been raped in 1999 by a teammate.
The growing scandal has attracted national attention and renewed the debate over out-of-control athletic programs and even whether some schools are using sex to entice prize recruits. (It's alleged in some student depositions that the high school players brought to Simpson's apartment were told there were women there willing to have sex with them.) "This is really depressing," says Joanne Belknap, a professor of sociology at Colorado and an expert in violence against women. "I'm sure there are women all over this country who've had this experience, and this controversy is bringing out all sorts of horrible feelings."
It certainly did for Hnida, who told SI (which, like PEOPLE, is owned by Time Warner) that as a walk-on kicker on the team she endured repeated sexual harassment from other players. One evening in 1999, while watching television with a teammate, she says, the player sexually assaulted her. Fearful of retribution from her alleged attacker, she didn't press charges and later dropped out of Colorado. After recovering sufficiently from bouts of depression, she enrolled at the University of New Mexico in 2002. Last season she made history by becoming the first woman to score in a Division I football game when she kicked two extra points against Texas State-San Marcos.
With Hnida's allegations roiling the Colorado campus, head coach Gary Barnett, who'd arrived at the school in 1999 with a reputation as a strict disciplinarian, sought to deal with the issue—and fumbled badly. At a bizarre press conference on Feb. 17, he said part of Hnida's problem was that she didn't have the respect of other players because she was a "girl" and a "terrible" kicker. A day later Colorado president Elizabeth Hoffman put Barnett on paid leave for his "insensitive comments." (In response to the federal lawsuits, which were filed on the basis of gender discrimination, the University has formed a panel to investigate the incident.)
Meanwhile, much about the Simpson incident remains in dispute. After the alleged attack, a roommate drove Simpson to Boulder Community Hospital, where she was tested for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Shortly afterward, Simpson filed a complaint and police investigated and interviewed many of the players and recruits who'd been at the apartment. The players maintained that the sex had been consensual. But Simpson insisted that wasn't true, and that the men in her room that night exhibited a shocking sense of entitlement. "The players...and the recruits just came in...they didn't even ask to have sex with me," she said in her deposition. "They just thought it was okay." For his part, Barnett insisted that neither he nor his staff had "ever encouraged or condoned sex as part of the recruiting process, period."
The lack of definitive evidence ultimately convinced Boulder D.A. Mary Keenan not to press charges. But as Simpson and her family tell it, that wasn't the end of her ordeal. Her mother, Karen Burd, has said in her deposition that when she saw Lisa two days after the incident, her daughter was "curled up in a little ball... just an emotional wreck." Even now, Burd said, Lisa—who has stayed at Colorado as an accounting major and recently endured taunts from some students angered by her accusations—can become hysterical if she finds herself alone in her new home.
In recent weeks, at least two more women have come forward alleging they were attacked by Colorado players. District Attorney Keenan has reopened the criminal investigation into the allegations. Says Colorado sociologist Belknap: "The football administration has a responsibility to make sure there's a climate of safety for women—and it just doesn't appear that has happened here."

One university student against the big oil companies. Kudos to you, Mr. DeChristopher.
"Nobody else has infiltrated a government auction to cause so much turmoil, according to officials at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management." – BusinessWeek.com
I'm surprised they haven't had any of the people who were protesting outside on television saying, "I wish I would have thought of that." It is something quite simple (in theory) and yet it took one university student with the balls to do it.
According to the report from BusinessWeek.com (link above), he wasn't actually planning on doing that straight away anyway.
What I'm wondering is what kind of punishment the guy who handed him the paddle is going to get.
