Swiss and German researchers were able to turn off particular cytokines, a type of immune system signal transmitters, in older mice using a medicine already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for psoriasis.
Cytokines surround accumulations of abnormal brain proteins called beta-amyloids. They secrete chemicals that cause inflammation, which past research suggests trigger plaques in Alzheimer's patients' brains. The plaques build up and blocks neuron signals, causing the brain's cortex to shrivel and the hippocampus to shrink.
In this case, scientists showed that minimizing the brain's immune reaction to beta-amyloids might slow the accumulation of plaques, reducing early Alzheimer's symptoms and restoring cognitive function, according to researchers.
The researchers encouraged clinical trials using medications that shut down specific immune responses in Alzheimer's patients. Professor Frank Heppner, with the Charite-Universitatsmedizin Berlin, and his college Burkhard Becher of the Institute of Experimental Immunology at the University of Zurich showed the link between turning off immune system triggers and preventing plaque buildup in the brains of the mice.
Alzheimer's disease affects an estimated 5.4 million Americans, according to the Alzheimer's Association, a global health organization and nonprofit research funder. It is the most common type of dementia, a term used to describe memory loss, confusion and other cognitive afflictions that impact quality of living. But Alzheimer's ultimately shuts down other physical functioning as brain function fails and leads to death.
This study might result in future breakthroughs in Alzheimer's treatment, researchers said. But some physicians caution that that brain inflammation might serve a dual purpose, and that suppressing immune reactions could reduce potential benefits.
The paper provided "additional evidence that inflammation may be important [in Alzheimer's]," said Dr. Marsel Mesulam, the director of the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
"Inhibiting this inflammatory reaction in some way or another helps the neural damage in the brain," Mesulam said.
However, Mesulum added, inflammatory cells might also serve a useful function by "gobbling up" amyloid deposits.
"The inflammatory reaction may, at some level, actually be useful," Mesulam said.
Dr. Changiz Geula is a research professor at the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, agreed with Mesulam. Geula suggested that future research "enhance [the cytokines] that are protective and inhibit the ones that might cause damage."
"The inflammation has two sides, there's no question. One side is good, one is bad," said Geula. "There are cytokines that are damaging and are associated with plaque formation, but then there are cytokines that are protective as well. So there is definitely a double-edged sword that needs to be acknowleged."
Geula also warned that studies with transgenic animal subjects do not always show the same results in humans – particularly when it comes to inflammation.
"Rodents can survive all kinds of infections," Geula said. "We have to wait and see. In the past, a lot of clinical trials have not panned out in the end," he said. "Personally, I remain pessimistic."

You'll find previous posts here about Roadtrip Nation, a program that follows young adults who travel across our country for inspiration about how to find meaningful work and live meaningful lives. The travelers you see in this trailer for Roadtrip Nation's Beyond the Dream are three immigrants who arrived in the U. S. when they were young and have been temporarily granted partial — but not full — protection against deportation.
In our country's current immigration debate, we seem rarely, if ever, to hear immigrants' voices (although most of us, if lucky, still have family members who immigrated to the U. S. and have their stories). Beyond the Dream allows these young immigrants to tell us their stories.

As luck would have it, yesterday my office was without the internet and company server. It was payroll day with no way to print checks, as the file had not been sent the evening before. Yikes! But all is well that ends well, I drove to the company office and picked up the payroll checks; it is fairly close (30 miles). The system was restored at 4pm, I continued to stay and get the essentials done. And with all that.........
I am glad to be home for the day. I want to get some things done in the kitchen. As I wander around and through visit different blogs, I notice things that I want to try or adapt. Maybe that is my favorite part of being a blogger, the inspiration to make new things or simply to keep cooking! Some days are just harder than others to get a meal on the table.
Today however I want to play in the kitchen.
I also want to make a batch of granola. I wanted a granola that was a bit different. And by different I mean tooth pleasing. Frequently granola is hard, hard as in not enjoyable to eat. Hard as in breaking the food in your mouth instead of simply chewing and enjoying. Hard as in, pour your milk; go get dressed and make the bed and then come back to eat, because by then it will have softened up a bit, hard.
Soft Crunch Granola
by the seat of my pants
325 degree oven
2 c regular oats
2 c regular oats - pulsed in the food processor
1/2 c regular oats - ground into oat flour
1/4 c flax seeds - ground
1/2 c pumpkin seeds
1/2 c walnut pieces
1/2 c sliced almonds
1 c coconut
Place the oats into a large bowl, add the seeds and nuts mixing well.
3 T oil
1/3 c sugar
1 t vanilla
dash of salt
Add the oil to a measuring cup, add water to make 1/2 of fluid. Combine the water mixture and the sugar, heat to boiling (I used a microwave), stir to dissolve sugar. Add vanilla and salt. Stir again. Evenly pour over oats and stir to combine.
Evenly spread on a jelly roll pan. Bake 20 minutes, stir corners into center and bottom to top. Bake 10 minutes more, again stir as directed. Turn oven off, let sit in oven 20 minutes to finish cooking and dry.
Sprinkle over the top of the finished granola, 1 c dried fruit. I used cranberries and raisins. Stir to combine, and let mixture come to room temperature before packaging up.
Makes about 10 cup.

Do not trust this site. I presume there many legitimate users seeking relationships, but there are also many scammers who are pretty easy to spot by their behavior. If you were a site moderator and noticed there are dozens of users claiming to be from a rural town in Kansas on a site that caters to people seeking legitimate relationships, wouldn't you be suspicious?

Quite why GI thought this is a realistic scenario is beyond us, luckily, R* today cleared up the rumour (via Kotaku) saying:
"We're not talking about new DLC or a collection of previously available DLC, we're talking about a full retail game. We expect this title to follow the suit of previous GTAs and use a subtitle such as GTA: San Andreas, etc. Tokyo might be a possible setting for the game, but details are non-existent at this time." - Game Informer Issue 190
With DLC keeping GTA players engaged until late 2009, we can't see a new, full GTA game being released until at least 2010, in all likelihood I personally think we're looking at 2011 as the best guess for now. That's of course assuming GTA V is coming...
there is "no truth" to reports that a wholly new retail game, one on par with the scope of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, will arrive before the holidays.
Harwood you are the only guy I know who watches X-Play.
No, lol I watch it too. Morgan is hot.
R* Leeds is developing CTW and another developer is developing LA Noire, Take 2 is only funding the project. Right now, with the current economic crisis, I doubt we'll be seeing a GTA game soon. CTW is excluded from that though.
R* Leeds is developing CTW and another developer is developing LA Noire, Take 2 is only funding the project. Right now, with the current economic crisis, I doubt we'll be seeing a GTA game soon. CTW is excluded from that though.
I don't think TakeTwo or Rockstar were effected by the whole economic thing...at least not yet. Rockstar usually starts on the new GTA right after they finish one, but I think I remember Rockstar saying that they took a break after GTAIV, but I think they've started on a new one by now. I think they started GTAIV right after SA was released because they announced it, I think, before LCS was released...or possibly before VCS was released.
You may be right. The quotes do say that a new GTA game sequel won't be released this year however, it does not mention that they haven't started developing a new game.
Tokyo seems to be an odd choice of setting for a rockstar game, but it's a good idea changing the country, culture and possibly the currency in which we use. Should be interesting. But what would R* do when it comes to language, they might use English or Japanese with English subtitles. I do want to see a non-american main character again, I don't like American main characters, I'd go for European again or a Japanese main character. If they do Tokyo, will it actually be called Tokyo or will they make something up as they did with Liberty City, Los Santos etc.

Throw Together Short Ribs
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 4 hrs
I got this recipe from Quick Cooking magazine. DH loves it, and it is SO simple to put together from stuff I always have in the pantry.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄3 cup water
- 1⁄4 cup tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
- 2 lbs short rib of beef
- 1 small tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- If you have time, brown the ribs in a little oil. If not, just throw them in the crockpot.
- Put all the rest of the ingredients except the cornstarch and 1 Tbsp cold water in the crockpot too.
- Mix just to combine and coat the ribs.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until meat is tender.
- I have left it for as long as 8 hours and they came out fine. If you leave them in for a long time, just check to see if it needs any water now and then.
- Before serving, combine the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
- Gradually stir into cooking juices to make gravy.
- Cover and cook 10-15 more minutes until thickened.
Most Helpful
Used boneless ribs, real good.
Superb! Very flavorful barbecue type sauce. I used boneless ribs, left out the tomato, subbed garlic salt (1 t was enough), and forgot the cornstarch. The meat was tender after 5 hours, but I think the longer the better.
I haven't made this specific recipe, but it is very similar to how I prepare my short ribs. The only changes are that I add some chipotles in adobo for spice and, while making the gravy, grill the ribs so that they get a nice crispy outer layer. Cooking them first in the crockpot makes them so tender, it's amazing.

AbouDiaby reveals details about his injury struggles
At the age of 30, AbouDiaby is a veteran performer who has made over 130 appearances in the entirety of his playing careerbut this amount of matches played is relatively small for a player that has reached the 30 year old mark.
Cech believes in young players
Petr Cech believes that young players such as Rob Holding and Calum Chambers can successfully replace the injured Per Mertesacker at the heart of the defence.
The German international is set to miss at least five months of football and Petr Cech believes that Arsenal has enough players that can step up during his absence. Arsene Wenger has stated that he is still in the market for a new defender, but Petr Cech believes that there is enough talent at the club at the moment.
Abou Diaby Plays An Important Role For Marseilles Club
Many players often wait their turn to be part of the first team of their club or country. Some players often do not get to play the whole time of a match that they are picked to participate in.
Abou Diaby was thus relieved when he was included in the match played in April for the full 90 minute duration of the game. Being a
Petr Cech is full of praise with his teammate Mesut Ozil
Even though Arsenal fell short in their journey of winning the Premier League title during the 2015-16 season, one of the best players players in that season was hands down Mesut Ozil as the German player managed to provide his teammates with 19 assists which was more than any other player in the English League and was also able to score 6 goals.
When the 2015-16 Premier League season was over, Mesut Ozil was named as the Player of the Season of Arsenal.
Abou Diaby came back after Injury
Former Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby slowly appears to be recovering from his injury hell after making his first start in more than three years for his new team Marseille.
Abou Diaby's injuries have destroyed his career
Abou Diaby was hailed as one of the most promising young players in the entire Premier League but things took a turn for the worse when the French midfielder sustained an ankle fracture back in 2006 and from there on out injuries have been almost non-stop for Diaby and this has hampered the career of the Frenchman.
Injuries have been so consistent and so dreadful for Abou Diaby that he has been forced to stay out of action and unable to play for over 500 days.
AbouDiaby's nightmare seems to be never-ending
AbouDiaby is a player who has continuously suffered from injuries.
Ever since he joined Arsenal back in 2006, injuries have been a factor which have seriously affected his playing time on the pitch and despite all of the surgeries that the French midfielder has done, injuries still continue to trouble the experienced player who joined Marseille on July of 2015 but he hasn't been able to make a single appearance for the club due to these consistent injuries.
Per Mertesacker says that he is disappointed
German international Per Mertesacker says that he is disappointed that Arsenal did not get the best out of his international teammate, Lukas Podolski.
After having originally joined Arsenal for around £ 10 million, the striker has been sold for only around £ 1.75 million to Turkish club Galatasaray. After failing to win the title last season, the Turkish club has also seen archrivals Fenerbahce make key signings from the Premier League like Robin van Persie and Nani. Podolski will be the key player for Galatasaray in the coming campaign along with Wesley Sneijder.
Thierry Henry reckons not being able to buy any outfield Footballer
Thierry Henry reckons not being able to buy any outfield Footballer is something that Arsenal would really rue this season.
According to Henry who has netted on more occasions than any other player in Arsenal shirt, there was a need for Arsenal to add a few players to the squad to facilitate their bid for a Premier League trophy after a long period of almost a decade.
After 9 years with Arsenal, AbouDiaby is released by the English club
From the past 3 years, AbouDiaby has made less than 16 appearances for Arsenal and his time has ran out as the French player has been released by the Premier League club.
AbouDiaby is a player who has always struggled with injuries and this has seriously hampered his playing time not only with Arsenal but with his previous club as well.
Before joining Arsenal, Diaby was a player of the French side Auxerre and injuries was a huge factor that made it impossible for him to become a player who can consistently perform at a high level.

Council Members
Sandy was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, where she graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in Economics. She also lived in Oregon, Florida & Alaska. She moved to Sedona in January, 1972, when Sedona was a town of about 4,000, unincorporated, and split between two counties. Sandy worked for the local branch of the Phoenix CPA firm, Walker & Armstrong, LLP, for 31 years, and is now a self-employed accountant.
Soon after coming to Sedona, Sandy became involved in getting Sedona incorporated. The community was already growing, and she agreed with others that we needed to make our own decisions rather than have Flagstaff or Prescott control our future. Incorporating Sedona was not an easy task, as state legislation had to be passed to allow the city to incorporate across county lines. After serving on three committees over a 15 year period, Sandy celebrated the voters' approval of the incorporation of Sedona in a December 1987 election, and in January of 1988, the City of Sedona became a reality.
Sandy is proud to have been a member of the first appointed City Council. Meetings were quite different in those days, with no staff, no ordinances and no City Hall. By the time the first Council turned things over to the first elected Council five months later, Sedona had a City Clerk, a City Manager, a Police Chief, a sales tax and bed tax, a City Hall and a well-operating City government.
Sandy has always followed City government in Sedona and over the years has volunteered for a variety of organizations and activities across the state, in the Verde Valley, and in Sedona, including AYSO (youth soccer), Good Morning Sedona, Southwest Public Recycling Association and the Verde Valley Wine Consortium. She is a founder of Sedona Recycles, Inc., and served on the Board for nearly 20 years, and is also a founder of Sedona Winefest. She served on the City's Wastewater & Effluent Disposal & Land Use (WEDLU) Task Force for two years, on the Housing Commission for 6 years, and on the City's Service Contract Review Work Group. She is proud to serve as Mayor of the City she loves.
Scott holds a degree in criminal justice and worked for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey for over 30 years— first as a police officer and later a Senior Police Accident investigator receiving specialized training through Northwestern University and the U.S Department of Transportation. Throughout his career Scott also received specialized training from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Scott also served in the Police Emergency Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting Unit. As a community leader on Long Island, Scott received three prestigious awards for his work: A Legislative Resolution by the New York State Assembly, a New York State Proclamation from the New York Senate Majority Leader, and a Town Citation by the Town of Hempstead Supervisor. Prior to his election to the City Council, Scott served on the board of the Sedona Fire District, the City of Sedona's Planning & Zoning Commission and the City's Personnel Board.
Tom Lamkin was appointed to the City Council on March 8th. A biography is forthcoming.
John Martinez, Jr. is from a large, Southern California family. Three of his siblings were born in Los Angeles, as was John, and four were born in La Puente. All eight children finished La Puente High School, and went on to graduate from various colleges, encouraged by parents who did not have the opportunity to complete high school.
Key lessons the eight Martinez's learned were discipline—homework before playing outside with friends—and frugality—in a family of 10, everyone learned to understand the value of a dollar and spend carefully and wisely.
John graduated from California State University of Long Beach with a degree in Finance. He worked during the day and went to school at night. He worked as a janitor for Snappy Taco and a forklift driver at Mattel Toys. Upon graduation from college, he began his career in finance, first as a Financial Analyst with Beckman Instruments, Plant Controller at Hunt-Wesson Foods, Director of Manufacturing Accounting for ConAgra Foods and a Sarbanes-Oxley auditor for Boeing. He moved to the Sedona area in 2005 and was hired as the Director of Finance for Nutri-Health Supplements located in Cottonwood, AZ.
John met Carol, the love of his life for the past 34 years, while employed with Beckman Instruments. They lived in Yorba Linda, California for 25 years and both have family all over California.
His hobbies include traveling, playing sports (softball and soccer), reading and attending Phoenix Coyotes hockey games, as a season ticket holder.
John provides consulting expertise for small companies that require budgeting and forecasting assistance. John was selected to serve on the Budget Oversight Commission and was the Vice-Chairman. As a member of the commission, he provided input to the City's budget submission for fiscal years 2011/2012 and 2012/2013, plus implementation experience for the recent ERP System for the City's Finance Department.
Jon and his wife Felicia spent their honeymoon in Sedona 46 years ago, returned for their 25th wedding anniversary and bought a lot, determined to make this their retirement home. They realized that dream when they finally built their house in West Sedona and moved in on Groundhog Day in 2006.
Both Jon and Felicia earned BA degrees from California Lutheran University. Jon also holds an MA in English from Stanford, where he was a Wallace Stegner Fellow in the Creative Writing program. He has been a Managing Editor for a major college textbook publisher, but most of his career was spent in the technical writing field in California's Silicon Valley. Jon has held positions from Senior Manager through VP at several high-tech companies, including Apple Computer, Silicon Graphics, Crossworlds, IBM, and two pre-IPO startups. "JT" has managed multi-million dollar budgets and staffs of up to 40. He retired in 2007, again on Groundhog Day.
Jon has been a volunteer litter lifter with Keep Sedona Beautiful for over 10 years. He has also done volunteer work at the Verde Valley Medical Center, the Sedona City Clerk's office, and Chamber Music Sedona. From November of 2010 through March of 2014 he was proud to serve on the Citizens Steering Committee for the Community Plan Update, the final 2 ½ years as Chair. That exceptional experience created the desire to continue serving our magnificent city and was the primary reason JT decided to seek a City Council seat.
Felicia and Jon are the proud parents of two sons. Jeff is a graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a VP at Glass Lewis & Co., a financial services firm in San Francisco. He lives in Burlingame with his wife Stephanie and their three children, Alexia, Constantine, and Leonidas. Chris earned a BA from UCLA and a Masters in percussion and composition from Juilliard. He is a percussionist with Alarm Will Sound and other contemporary classical groups, and he frequently plays on several Broadway musicals. He and our son-in-law Peter live and work in New York City.
Jessica Williamson - Councilor
Jessica was born and grew up in Southern California. She attended the University of California at Santa Barbara and graduated with a B.A. in Sociology.
She and her husband, Stephen, moved to New York City so he could attend Columbia University, where he graduated with a master's degree in Film. Jessica worked in the New York City Deputy Mayor's Office, and when the financial crisis hit New York City, she stayed on and worked with the team that put NYC back on a firm financial footing. She moved on to the city's Department of Housing, then to the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) where she was the Director of Departmental Affairs for the 3500-person agency. After 9-11, DDC was responsible for cleaning up the World Trade Center site, and Jessica was stationed at the site for much of the cleanup.
Stephen and Jessica spent a lot of time hiking and backpacking up and down the east coast, including two week hikes along the Appalachian Trail and over the high peaks in the Adirondack Mountains. Jessica's passion was playing squash, but she also spent time watching movies, wandering through Central Park and reading books.
Jessica, Stephen, their son Max, and their dog, Shadow, moved to Sedona in 2003. Jessica served on the Sedona Housing Commission prior to being elected to Council. She works at the Spa at the Los Abrigados Resort, practices yoga, reads, plays Scrabble, and takes their dog, Ki, to Red Rock Crossing to hike, swim, and chase sticks. She continues to contemplate the wonders of the universe.

A pioneer of modern war photography, Capa left three cardboard valises, which came to be known as "the Mexican suitcase" and contained about 3,500 negatives of pictures he took during the Spanish Civil War, in a Paris darkroom before he fled Europe for America in 1939. He died in 1954 on assignment in Vietnam.
In 1995 word began to spread that the negatives had survived WWII, traveling from Paris to Marseille and then, in the hands of a Mexican general and diplomat, to Mexico City, where they remained hidden for more than half a century. After years of negotiations, legal title to the negatives was recently transferred to the Capa estate by descendants of the general, including a Mexican filmmaker who first saw them in the 1990s and realized their historical importance. Last month, they journeyed to the ICP, founded by Robert Capa's brother, Cornell.
Besides the Capa negatives, the boxes contain Spanish Civil War images by Gerda Taro, Capa's professional and personal partner professional. Research could bring about a reassessment of the career of Taro, one of the first female war photographers, who sometimes credited early work jointly with Capa. There are also negatives by David "Chim" Seymour, who founded Magnum photo agency with Capa. The negative for one of Chim's most famous Spanish Civil War photographs, showing a woman cradling a baby at her breast as she gazes upward in 1936, has also been found. "We were astonished to see it," said Brian Wallis, the ICP's chief curator. Researchers have also already come across pictures of Ernest Hemingway and Federico Garcia Lorca.
The discovery could determine if what may be Capa's most famous picture and one of the most famous war photographs of all time was staged. Known as "The Falling Soldier," it shows a Spanish Republican militiaman reeling backward the instant a bullet strikes him on a hillside near Cordoba in 1936, and the image helped garner support for the Republicans. Capa biographer Richard Whelan made a case that the photo was not fake, although Capa and Taro were Communist partisans of the loyalist cause and known to photograph staged maneuvers (a common practice at the time). The shot has been reproduced from a vintage print, so a negative of the shot, especially in a sequence showing all the images taken before and after the shot, could end the debate.
The valises are also being hailed because they contain the formative work of a photographer who played a pivotal role in bringing war's horrors nearer and making them more cinematic than ever.
The full story of how the negatives made their way to Mexico may never be known, but conservation experts say the film appears to be in remarkably good condition for 70-year-old nitrate stock stored in flimsy boxes. "They seem like they were made yesterday," said Wallis. "They're not brittle at all. They're very fresh. We've sort of gingerly peeked at some of them just to get a sense of what's on each roll."

All during the war,
In April 1948 they were ready. A neon light on an old building where City Creek now stands lit up a strange new word--- television.
Radio station KDYL had created channel four. It was so new the government gave it an experimental license to sign on with.
Channel four engineers flip the switch on a new transmitter and it worked. The signal was holding steady
To the tower they had put up on the old Walker Bank building, the 13th station in
Fortunately for us today, they saved the very first test film strip of the very first experiment. It was of a card and a very bad scratchy trumpet record.
Then on April 19th, 1948 they were ready.
TV dealers were thrilled to join the ad blitz. Finally there was a reason to sell TVs.
They made it all happen by the seats of their pants, ways to show film, ways to entertain, and ways to inform.

It seems like yesterday I started coaching. I was 17 years old at the
time, coaching 5th grade basketball and ordered my first book from
Championship Productions.
I studied Championship Productions books at the time religiously, as
the diversity in choices let me study many coaches and systems to
develop my own.
Through the years, books became videos and videos became DVD's. One
common thread. Your products and service remain second to none!
Thanks for 23 years of excellence.
John Giammarco
Pittsburgh Basketball Club
I just want to thank Championship Productions for allowing me to make the DVD's. I have received so many calls, email messages, and faxes from coaches all over the country. Even though I have not had the opportunity to meet these coaches face to face, I feel like we have known each other for a long time. I had coaches who had purchased the DVD's call me on a weekly basis to let me know how their team had done and how much they appreciated what they learned from the DVD's.
Championship Productions is doing such a great service to high school/college football coaches that was not present when I started out coaching in 1969. The young coaches have no idea what it is like to get in a car and drive 10-12 hours just to spend a day and 1/2 with a coach to find out something about what they are doing with their offense, defense, or special teams. Today--for less than the price of gas--they can purchase a DVD and learn at home. Times have definitely changed.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to make the DVD's and I truly believe it was worth the effort after talking to the numerous coaches who communicated with me in some way.
Always at your goalpost

Dear Championship Productions,
I would like to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of the sport of wrestling. For years we have purchased all of our instructional materials from your website. The service is excellent and each month we look forward to seeing what new titles will be available for our wrestling team to purchase and learn from. I certainly appreciate the newsletter as well. It is always timely and well put together.
Once, again, thank you for supporting the world's oldest and greatest sport, wrestling.
Kind regards,
Tony Guerra
Director, Incline Kids Wrestling Club
My name is Trent. I live in Brisbane, Australia. I recently ordered a
volleyball DVD from your online store. I'm just writing to say that I'm very
impressed with the service and quality of your business.
I received my DVD 2 days after my order. No hassles at all. Thank you very
much indeed. Volleyball isn't as popular here as it is in America so it's
hard to find merchandise of this kind. When I found your online store it was
like I'd stumbled upon a volleyball pot of gold.
I will definitely be buying from your online store again in the near future.
Many thanks from a very happy Australian customer.
Brisbane, Australia
You guys are special. I only ordered these books/dvd's 5 days ago and
now they are sitting here in front of me. Australia Post could not
beat you guys.
Thanks a lot.

Wollongong, Australia
I wanted to take a moment and applaud Championship Productions on your
incredible service!!! I ordered the videos yesterday at 11 and they
were at my school by 9:30 a.m. this morning. That is unbelievable!!!!
You guys really do a great job!!

Letts, IA
Thank you very much for the excellent service from Championship Productions.
Last Friday I ordered the Practice series of videos and asked if you
could help me out by delivering them to Scotland a.s.a.p. for use in a
seminar. I was delighted to find the Fed Ex man at my door with the
package on the Monday morning in Scotland.
Thank you for your help and great customer concern. I shall definitely
use Championship Productions in future.

This place is almost perfect. My husband and I and our dog stayed two weeks and we enjoyed it so much we are coming back to spend our Christmas Holiday there. The condo is roomy enough that we each had plenty of personal space. The location is overlooking a small lake in a quiet residential area with great neighbors yet we two seniors could walk anywhere we wanted to go in the historic district.
This was our second time staying at this lovely little condo, and it was just as nice as the first time. The location can't be beat--it is also very quiet with friendly neighbors! It was nice having the option to cook meals in rather than eat out all of the time. I have been coming to St. Augustine for 13 years now, and always like to stay in the historic district during the holidays, so this condo is the perfect place!
This sweet condo is so close to everything in old St. Augustine. We parked the car once, and walked everywhere from there on out. It was well-appointed with plenty of kitchen supplies and lots of towels. Lots of upgrades in the kitchen and the bathroom. The unit was very quiet, and the neighbors were really sweet people.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The location was great. We walked to Old Town every day. The condo itself was well appointed, comfortable and pet friendly! The property manager was helpful and quick to respond to our questions. I would recommend this property.
Great location for old town activities. Enjoyed the old neighborhood. Had great breezes every evening across the lake. Would stay here again. Condo was very tastefully decorated.

Conservation Of Wildlife
India has long history of Wildlife.Many communities of forest dwellers and fisher people follow traditional practices of maintaining closed seasons,when no hunting or fishing is allowed, so that the natural wildlife population can recoup its number.
Traditionally hunting spoils were also shared within a community. Many species have been conserved through the centuries because of religion and social customs.These include animals like the king cobra and langur monkey.
In feudal times,kings and rulers maintained private hunting preserves.They maintain several forests and waterbodies so that they could hunt for tigers,sambhar,partridge,quail,duck and other species.
The forests of Gir(Gujarat),Ranthambore(Rajasthan),Bandipur(Karnataka), and the water bodies created by the rulers of Bharatpur had their origin in hunting preserves.But the purpose was entertainment not conservation,and anything that interfered with this end was removed.So,old trees with the nesting holes of woodpeckers and horn bills,for instance used to be cut down.
The British realized the value of timber from the forests. Some forests were reserved for commercial use,so that the timber could be send overseas to buils ships and to be used in ammunition factories.
Some forests were protected for the sake of soil conservation and maintainning the climate but both in feudal and colonial times,the local people were kept out of the wild areas, and they could not understand why the areas that they had taken care of centuries should be set apart to benefit others.
In recent times Natioal Parks,sancturies and tiger reserves have been established on the principal that the conservation of large mammals and species at the top of a food web such as the elephant, rhinoceros,tiger an crocodile,will help to maintain the entire web of living beings in the habitat.
You will perhaps be surprised to know that India has a large percentage of such protected areas equal to ths sizeof the United States(excluding Alaska and Hawaii).These protected areas have been successful in increasing the number of certain species,notably the tiger and the Indian rhinoceros which have been saved from the position of near extinction.But smaller animals and plants have been virtually overlooked.The other problem is that these protected areas have become tourist resorts,but the local people,who were once the guardians of the forests and whose daily lives depend on forest resources,have been kept out.
Biosphere reserves is one of the steps taken for the protection and conservation of the great biological diversity of our land.
Every plant and animal species would be protected so that this natural heritage can be transmitted to the future generation in all its natural vigor and glory.

Brief Synopsis
One of the greatest challenges facing the United States today is the translation of its overwhelming might into effective influence. Traditionally, the United States has leveraged its power through bilateral and multilateral alliances. However, the end of the Cold War and the events of September 11, 2001, have led some policymakers and analysts to question the value of alliances in American foreign and defense policy. This monograph advocates that allies are more important than ever to the achievement of U.S. national security goals.

The Tampa Bay Rays are in a great position to return to the postseason in 2012.
Their wonderfully improbable 2011 season resulted in them exceeding the most optimistic of expectations by making the postseason as the AL Wild Card team. The epic finale to the season where they came back from being behind nine games to the Boston Red Sox will be talked about for years.
Now that the final chapter has been written on 2011 it is time simultaneously reflect on this season as well as look ahead to 2012.
Here are 10 things the Rays can build on as they prepare for next season.
