darwinosx - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkJesus that looks like ass. Probably feels the same way. Why do people buy this trash with Touchwiz ladled on top. Reply
GTRagnarok - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI wonder if the screen is RGB. Reply
boozed - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI think it's fair to say that at 388ppi, it doesn't matter what subpixel matrix has been chosen. Reply
solipsism - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkIf you get 388[sic] PPI after adjusting for PenTile by multiplying by 67% then I would agree, but since that isn't he case it's really close to 260 PPI. Not bad, but not great. It probably does stand out as a subpar panel in a side-by-side comparison test with RGB-RGB LC panels we are seeing today on higher-end devices. Reply
danielfranklin - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkIm also very interested in this. I will be disappointed if it isnt.
What ever anyone says, it does make a difference, maybe just not in the way most people would think. There is still come sort of a grain to the color of the non RGB screens. Comparing GS1, GS2, GS3, GS4, note 2. The Note3 is meant to be the top spec Samsung device this year, for it to be a stretched pentile SGS4 screen doesnt seem right.
Help us Anand! Reply
sleepeeg3 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkIt's pentile. However, after comparing my Note 2 to the SGS4, I would say the difference is negligible. I was surprised. Reply
ssddaydream - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkDo you have a link? I really want to confirm this.
Also, Anand, could you try to determine the audio chip in each Note variant? I bet that Snapdragon has a crappy audio hub like the GS4. Reply
nerd1 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkShow me *ANY* other offerings with replaceable battery, micro SD slot and active digitzer. ANY. Reply

The answer is ... well no one can show you. People are too obsessed with metal and "premium feel" and ignore usability, versatility etc etc. Good work samsung. Reply
steven75 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkIMO (and Apple's and Google's) microSD *reduces* usability as you now have to juggle files/apps between two storage silos. One being fast and reliable and the other being slow and prone to failure. Reply
nerd1 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI'd rather pay $15 to get another 32GB rather than pay $200 for larger capacity device. Reply
yasamoka - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkInternal NAND is fast and reliable? Think again!
Fast with these new generations, maybe. But reliable? It's low lifespan and prone to bricking eventually.
I'd rather dump all my data on a microSD and use the internal memory for system apps if need be. Maybe even dump those on the microSD, if I'm using devices older than 2012 - 2013.
Plus, it's not that much trouble to have two storage silos. That's basically what people do on desktops with multiple HDDs. Reply

NeBlackCat - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThe thing about SD cards is that they generally still work even if you completely destroy your phone in one of the common ways involving water or gravity. So you can still get at your precious data. Worth having it for that alone. Reply
puremind - Tuesday, September 17, 2013 - linkTotally agree with you. If people want swappable storage, to Transfer data between devices, they can either use dropbox, skydrive or equivalent Services, or just a MicroSD mounted on MicroUSB. These days they are smaller than a Cent and an be attached to a key ring... Reply

retrospooty - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkOther than bloat it's actually a really nice device. Touchwiz and more importantly Sambloat are the reasons I'm not getting it. If they come out with a Google edition that works on Verizon I'm all over it though. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkyou can forget about s-pen in the GPe of Note 3. Reply
Dentons - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkSo any any phone lacking a metal enclosure is automatically crap? I suppose elitists exist for every product type, but really? Metal or crap?
Many of us find the technology inside the enclosure far more important that the outer casing. This device has a great OS, a very speedy processor, a fantastic screen at the right size.
Samsung continues to buck the trend by not treating their customers like chumps. They haven't removed microSD expansion or removable batteries.. While SD media is not fast or especially reliable, it's simply fantastic for storing music, podcasts, and video. SD cards are also far cheaper than buying phones with 128GB of NAND, if they're even available in such sizes.
Samsung also continues to allow user the ability to carry spare batteries. For many of us that travel, a phone that doesn't allow spare batteries is a deal killer.
When this releases, it will be in my estimation be the best smartphone on the market, bar none. Reply

steven75 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkMost of us are storing that content in the cloud these days, with the exception of videos.
Also, universal USB battery packs have basically solved battery power issues. Not only do they provide FAR more power than a replacement battery, they work on all your devices, often at the same time! Reply
Dentons - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkUSB battery packs are massive and heavy compared to the small replaceable batteries in Samsung's phones.
I can put 3, Galaxy Note 2 batteries in my pocket and have well over 30 hours of continuous use. They're the size of small matchbox and weigh next to nothing.
User replaceable batteries are a better, more functional solution. The only reason some manufacturers refuse to allow user replaceable batteries (and microSD expansion) is that their marketing divisions prefer the planned obsolescence of built-in, difficult-to-replace batteries.
I vote against this with every phone purchase I make. My next phone will be a Note 3 or perhaps one of LG's new phones. It will definitely have the ability to have easily replaceable spare batteries. It will definitely have microSD expansion. Reply
Heartdisease - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkI agree with the exception of why some go non replaceable. It us a unibody design problem as has been discussed on this site. I love the quality unibody feel but am loath to give up the batteries. Reply
nerd1 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkSwapping battery INSTANTLY makes your device 100% charged. Try that with external battery. Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkIt's not quite instant for a lot of people tho... It's more like power down, remove the case, replace the battery, wait while the phone powers up, yay 100%. A quick top off from a USB battery can sometimes be preferable... Each approach has it's upside IMO. Frankly I'm not in the camp that seems to need more than one full battery charge on a daily basis, so I could care less for removable batteries, but I AM GLAD that Samsung is still providing that choice to people. Having more options is seldom a bad thing. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkJust take a look at recharge time comparison in any reviews here. They take up to 3 hours even using power outlet, and external battery packs takes even longer. Swapping battery takes 10 seconds in comparison. I do have an external battery pack for my tablet and use them for flights but I really hate using them. Reply
NeBlackCat - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkAgreed. I'd even love a future Android version to support hibernation, or have an internal capacitor or coin battery, to allow batteries to be swapped without losing any operational context. I used to replace the battery in my old Nokia several times on a long bike ride, and each time I lost continuity on the GPS logging of my ride. Reply

eallan - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkIt's literally plastic. It will be no different Reply
flyingpants - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkYes. All plastics are exactly the same even with a different chemistry. And they all have the exact same thermal properties with varying thickness. Reply
Mugur - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkThis will appeal to S-Pen's fans, of course, but other than that... Not a bad phone by any means, just not enough "wow" factor in it.
These being said, I will just wait for HTC One Maxx to show (I have a One, but cannot resist to a 6" screen and a bigger battery). Reply
JDG1980 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI like the specs, but not the fake leather back. I'd prefer honest plastic to phony 'stitching' along the border.
Is there any app for the Note series that lets you use the active digitizer as a PC input device? Seems like something that would be useful if it saved you the cost of a separate Wacom tablet. Reply

MajGHOB - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkYa there is a definite bias when it comes to apple products on anandtech, but I still like the site for all the none mobile stuff they cover. They tent to be more fair minded in those areas. Having said that I'm still buying an iPhone 5S when it comes out. I have the original Note, and I actually want a smaller phone now after having used the Note for almost 2 years. Reply

stacey94 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkThey have a bias towards quality products. Remember their coverage of the HTC One? It's not an Apple product but AT covered it thoroughly. Samsung does not make quality portable electronics right now (with the exception of its Ultrabook line), so it does not receive enthusiastic AT coverage. Reply
rd_nest - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkStrange. So they decided which is quality before even using them for some decent amount of time.
And what about Sony? Sony has decent "cover material to ooze quality".

NSAfreezone - Sunday, September 08, 2013 - linkTheres quite a few Apple fanboy/biased websites out there one had one against N* and something else they took slowest browser and lowest cam etc etc then tried to steam roller with apple is ooops cum me lot! when then N8 cam trounced apple and to cover lack of storage said hum can use cloud! where as N8 has 3 lots phone/big on board/plus Msd 64gb in fat32.
It was so blatantly biased Reply
mmarafie - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkI definitely notice the bias too. If it's an Android (especially Samsung) product there won't be much enthusiasm, and any good points the hardware has Anand comments that they are "following Apple's steps". Also there has to be always a mention about how Samsung products don't have the "premium metal" feel. Or that it's a "slippery mess". Check the Galaxy Note 3 article by Anand, same bias again, no interest or enthusiasm.
Everyone I know that owns a Galaxy phone, GS3/GS4/Note/Note etc has a case for the phone in case it drops. So I don't see the big deal about the phone being plastic or not. Also I'd rather have a lighter phone that a heavirr metal phone that will be covered in a case anyway. Reply
NSAfreezone - Sunday, September 08, 2013 - linkMetal case's =water damage (apple v finland/not fit for purpose) plastic don't plus plastic absorbs/deforms/deflects damage where as metal don't so insides damaged.
And as been said most have a case for phone anyway as i got a note 2 but had to have white but with black flip case looks ok Reply

blueboy11 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkThe fact that it has an updated 1080p screen, more RAM (2.5GB with OS though) and a removable battery is more than enough to wet my taste for the phone. Probably get this one with tax refund, but who knows, with phones popping up like popcorn, something even better will show up! Reply
cap1980 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI heard in India 3G version of Samsung Note 3 will be available with exynos octa core processor. Can anyone please answer my following questions.
1. If I purchase LTE Qualcomm 800 version from US will it work smoothly in India, if and when 4g is available?
2. Does processor make a lot of difference?
3. Is it true that 4K video recording is not possible with exynos version?
4. What other major differences will be there in two versions?
5. Lastly why two versions at all? Reply
av911 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkWhy do people bring up the cloud when it comes to storage on a phone? Unless you have unlimited data and a fast connection, it's useless.
And when I'm using a phone, I don't any wires attached to it. So, universal USB battery packs are a nuisance and a spare battery solves that. And you have a full battery to boot, not waiting for the phone to actually finish charging. Reply

RussianSensation - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkNot if you travel for work in 3rd world countries, or go hiking in mountainous regions. Cloud storage is the lamest excuse when you can buy 64GB fast flash memory for $45. The presence of a MicroSD slot and removable battery provide options. The S3 note makes iPhone look like a toy. I would bet a lot of Android users would consider a 4.8-5.5 inch iphone with SD storage and removable battery even if the thickness increased 2mm. Reply

Reliable/useablitiy/good features and clear screen(of shite) is what i look for plus how is a mobile mobile if you can't go further than the end of power lead for longer than 10 mins or dead flat battery! re thing with sour apple onit in a charger festooned office when had N8 3 days =/- where as iphone 3 hours but happy so far with note 2 get over 2 days probably 3 if let run out and did get a 2nd battery from someone on flea bay so not used one that came with phone yet. Reply
NSAfreezone - Sunday, September 08, 2013 - linkI make you right on that as cloud crap is only any good as there service and your connection and as said if you don't have an unlimited data tariff your not going to leave data on plus who wants to get charged for there benefit of downloading spammy ad's/spyware.
If you have an SD port you have far more flexibility to have more than one card so if away from home etc can keep lots on them and keep back ups or one that has important things on it or say music or photos/video's then insert that card when you need it as could have some long vid's in HD which fill most of card also take pic's move to phone mem then swop card and move to it etc which you can't do with most Lumina crap and sure can't with sour apples.
Note phones are more like a home/office on the go where as most of the others are just fancy toys Reply
NSAfreezone - Sunday, September 08, 2013 - linkAnother one is streaming data/music how can you listen to stream/music if you don't have a connection? i know some lumina you can save then play later.Lumina as not Nokia any more they got done over by Elop and MS Reply
Arbie - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - link
With these capabilities and display *PLUS* micro-SD and a removable battery, the Note 3 seems to be everything I want in a phablet.
My most common use of a device like this will be portable entertainment, and nothing competes with SD for swapping media sets in and out. Certainly not "the cloud" (is that even a serious comment ???). And I can replace the battery myself when it stops taking a charge. And it has the phone I occasionally need.
The only obstacle for me now is price. Reply
Davidjan - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkReally cool! It should support OTG to expand storage with this tiny reader: http://goo.gl/U6IyY Reply
128bit - Thursday, September 26, 2013 - linkThe Note 3 screen it's pentile matrix, 386ppi. Note 3 already released in my country i'm thinking to buy it before due to the Note 3 bigger screen with less bezels and no on screen button that reduce the actual resolution, but after i saw the Sony Xperia Z1 vs Note 3 in YouTube video that shows the speed of streaming 4k video on both phones and how Note 3 lagging and struggling behind Xperia Z1 that streaming the 4K video 2 times faster than Note 3 changed my mind.

Perez sees innings, win streaks come to an end
Lefty loses for first time in five starts; scoreless stretch is over after 26 IP
ARLINGTON -- Over his previous three starts, Rangers lefty Martin Perez strung together 26 scoreless innings. Tuesday, he had a hard time getting one.
The Athletics scored in the first, second and third frames on their way to a 9-3 victory, guaranteeing them a win in their three-game series that ends Wednesday. Perez was one of the heroes of the Rangers' sweep in Oakland last week, throwing a three-hit shutout last Wednesday, but on Tuesday he was a victim, earning his first loss in six starts this season.
Everyone from Rangers manager Ron Washington to A's manager Bob Melvin to catcher Robinson Chirinos to Perez himself agreed: he put too many pitches in the wrong place and the Athletics, having seen him so recently, were more willing to wait for him to leave one up this time around.
"They looked more aggressive tonight," Perez said. "They didn't swing too much, they just waited for a pitch and they knew that I missed the zone."
Perez allowed eight earned runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings and thus brought a humble ending to a streak that included consecutive three-hit shutouts following a five-hit, eight-inning win.
"Previous, everything he threw he put it where he wanted to," Washington said. "Tonight, when he missed his spot, it was in the middle of the plate."
Perez briefly found a rhythm, retiring the side in the fourth inning and getting the first out of the fifth, but then the game got away from him again.
With one out, Jed Lowrie singled and Josh Donaldson doubled on a hard-hit ball that left fielder Michael Choice couldn't corral in left field. Then Yoenis Cespedes walked and Derek Norris popped out. With two outs, Perez walked Albert Callaspo on five pitches, pushing in a run and ending the 23-year-old Perez's outing.
Unfortunately for Perez, all three runners he put on base scored against reliever Jason Frasor, who walked Craig Gentry to force in another a run, allowed a two-run single to Josh Reddick and then uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Gentry to score.
Had Choice taken a more perfect route to Donaldson's hit in the fifth, he might have had a chance to make a play, but instead he had to twist his body back to the ball and couldn't make the catch.
"The ball was smoked, he went back, he made his move on it and he just didn't come up with it," Washington said. "Off the bat, I thought it was gone, but the ball just wasn't jumping out of here tonight. He just didn't come up with it. He makes that play, it's still a [4-1] ballgame, but then we didn't make the play and we got a couple walks and a base hit and before you know it it's a 9-1 ballgame."
Norris drove in three of the game's first four runs with a two-run double in the first and an RBI double in the third, all off Perez.
"He's a great ground-ball pitcher," Norris said. "He gets a lot of double plays, and just forcing him up in the zone … when you get the ball elevated just don't try to do too much, and we did a great job of getting them in early and often.
"He didn't have much of a choice. He was living down there in the zone and we weren't biting on it. He had to elevate it to get the strikes."
The Rangers' top two starting pitchers, Yu Darvish and Perez, combined to pitch eight innings Monday and Tuesday night. Darvish's 3 1/3-inning outing was the shortest of his Major League career, while Perez's eight earned runs were the most he'd allowed since debuting in 2012.
"So far they've been showing us that they're making adjustments, yesterday to Darvish and today with Martin," Chirinos said. "That's what Oakland does, even through the Minor Leagues, they take a lot of pitches, they make the pitcher work long every at-bat, and when you don't execute the pitch, they're putting themselves in good hitting counts."
Oakland starter Scott Kazmir earned the win with five innings of work, scattering seven hits and allowing three earned runs.
The Rangers got a run in the fourth when Alex Rios doubled home Adrian Beltre, who led off the inning with a single. In the fifth, Texas tacked on two more -- including Prince Fielder's ninth RBI on a single -- to pull within six runs. They did not get a runner in scoring position in the final four innings.
"We had four innings tonight where I thought if we could have scratched one run, then maybe scratched a couple runs in some situations, it might have been a different ballgame," Washington said. "We're not clicking."

My personal Top 10 wrestlers
by, 05-14-2013 at 11:12 PM (3527 Views)
Hi their this is my first time at writing a blog,so i thought i would go with some thing easy, so please go easy on me. This is my persnal top 10 wrestlers throughout my eras late 80s up till now, this will include tag teams.
10. Adam Bomb. This guy was amazing to watch, but never really given the push he deserved in wwf/e, and only got the push in wcw as part of the tag team kronick. When he first started he got this good tough nut gimmick but eventually became jobber to people like Earthquake. He eventually turned face and got a bit off success and a cult following.
9. Demolition. Not alot can be really said here amazing tag team should be hall of famers. They had the look the entrance and good mic skills.
8. Abyss. You want to watch brutel watch this bloke he is one of the few reasons i watch tna. And his gimmick works, i love his finisher and he makes it look so painful.
7. Bushwakers. Prob get some stick for this one but comedy value alone they made me laugh funny as. The fans loved them and interacyed well with them.
6. Sting, Now before i say anymore this is sting from the crow look prior to that i did not really like him and even tho i like like him now i do believe he should have retired 2 years ago at least but saying that the fans love him. The crow look is amazing.
5. Davey Boy Smith, I loved watching him from a very early age on british wrestling fighting the likes of Jim Breaks. He got so much better when he went to america forming the tag team british bulldogs some of their matchs are pure awsome to watch, i was not surprised when he went single the bloke had so much upper body strength it was unreal good finisher. must say on a personal note did not enjoy shawn micheals humilating him after the montreal screw job.
4. Aj Styles. Wow what a performer in the ring he could have been a top top wrestler for wwe. He is amazing to watch as mentioned earlier abyss aj good reasons to watch tna.
3. Crush. loved watching this guy from his demoltion days right through to kronick. Personaly i prefered the surfer gimmick but to be honest just watching him in the ring amazed me. Good finisher great look.
2. Randy Orton/ Kurt Angle, I love these 2 guys and had to get them both in so if i get critized for this so be it. Kurt what can be said he as probably forgotton more then most wrestlers have learnt a true legend and he can have a funny side to him face or heel amazing. Randy Orton for me the best wrestler on the current roster amazing finisher.Works well as a face as well as a heel.
1. Macho Man Randy Savage. Now this guy was just friggin amazing to watch and this is why he is my fav all time wrestler he was amazing as a heel, and just as good as a face he had a good move set he had the look some brillant fueds ie hogan warrior and for me wrestlemania 7 the ending with elizabeth was truely amzing to watch , so many wrestlers of today have him to thank. He was amazing to watch on the mic with his deep husky voice. brillant entrance, and really should be in the hall of fame by now.
Well thier you go my top 10 i no i have missed some off that i had wished i had put on like undertaker kane triple h dudley boys brock ryback and even the shield. So tell me what u think,please be kind

Alzheimer's Disease and the Neuroscience of Aging
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia among people age 65 and older, and is a major public health issue for the United States because of its enormous impact on individuals, families, the health care system, and society as a whole. Scientists now estimate that as many as 4.5 million people currently suffer with the disease, and this number is expected to increase to 13.2 million persons by 2050, an almost threefold increase.6
People with AD gradually suffer memory loss and a decline in thinking abilities, as well as major personality changes. These losses in cognitive function are accompanied by pathologic changes in the brain, including the buildup of insoluble protein deposits called amyloid plaques and the development of neurofibrillary tangles, which are abnormal collections of twisted protein threads found inside nerve cells. Such changes result in death of brain cells and breakdown of the connections between them. AD advances gradually but inexorably, from early, mild forgetfulness to a severe loss of mental function called dementia. Eventually, people with AD become dependent on others for every aspect of their care. A diagnosis of AD is also associated with a sharply reduced lifespan; for example, the overall median survival for 70-year-olds in the United States is 15.7 years for women and 12.4 years for men, but a recent study found that this drops to 8.0 years and 4.4 years, respectively, for women and men with AD.7
The Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease
To date, only four of the approximately 30,000 genes in the human genome have been conclusively shown to affect the development of AD pathology. Three genes, amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin (PS) 1, and PS 2, are linked to the early-onset form of familial AD, which accounts for only a small percentage of all AD cases. A form of a fourth gene, APOE-ε4, which occurs in about one-fourth of the population, is a risk factor gene for late-onset AD (LOAD), and about half the AD cases have the ε4 form of the APOE gene. Geneticists have suggested that as many as four additional and as yet unidentified genes, at least one of which may be located on a specific region of chromosome 10, may be risk factor genes for LOAD. Finding new risk factor genes will help to identify pathways affecting the development or progression of AD, which can be become potential targets for treatment interventions.
Changes in Gene Activity in Early Aging and Alzheimer's Disease. Analysis of gene activity in discrete brain regions can provide important insights into the activities that underlie both normal brain aging and the pathological processes of neurodegeneration. Two recent studies demonstrate the utility of this approach. In one, investigators concluded that accelerated DNA damage may contribute to reduced gene expression, particularly the activity of genes involved in learning, memory and neuronal survival, and initiate a program of brain aging that starts early in adult life—in this case, around age 40. In a separate study, researchers show widespread changes in the genomic regulation of multiple pathways that involve the overactivity of tumor suppressor genes, as well as in genes involved in the differentiation of cells associated with myelinated axons. This suggests a provocative, but plausible, new model of AD pathogenesis that could account for the characteristic progression of AD throughout the brain along myelinated axons.
Genetic Variations Among Individuals Influence the Severity of Alzheimer's Disease. Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) degrades amyloid β, a major component of amyloid plaques. In a recent study, the stretch of genetic material on chromosome 10 that contains the IDE gene and two other nearby genes was assessed for changes at a single point in the genetic code—known as a single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNP—and for haplotypes, which are stretches of DNA inherited in common among groups of people, in AD and control samples. Quantitative measures that are important to AD diagnosis and severity were also clinically assessed. Data strongly indicated the presence of alleles (alternative forms of a gene) and haplotypes that confer risk for AD within this region, and suggested that genetic variation within or extremely close to the IDE gene impacts both disease risk and traits related to the severity of the disease. Implementation of this approach on a broader scale is likely to be an effective tool in genetic analysis of complex diseases.
Early Diagnosis of AD
Early diagnosis of AD would be beneficial. For patients and their families, a definitive early diagnosis provides the opportunity to plan and pursue options for treatment and care, while the patient can take an active role in decisionmaking. For clinicians, accurate early diagnosis facilitates the selection of appropriate treatments, particularly as new interventions are developed. For researchers, earlier and more accurate diagnosis facilitates clinical studies of new therapies and preventive measures by allowing early and more targeted intervention, before cognitive loss becomes significant. Research suggests that the earliest AD pathology begins to develop in the brain long before clinical symptoms yield a diagnosis, and scientists are searching for reliable, valid, and easily attainable biological markers that, along with genetic, clinical, and neuropsychological assessments, could identify cases very early in the course of disease.
Abnormal PET Scans in Young Adults at Genetic Risk for Alzheimer's Disease. Using positron emission tomography (PET), patients with AD typically show decreased glucose metabolism, which correlates with brain activity, in specific brain regions. Other studies have shown decreases in metabolism in these same brain regions in nonsymptomatic middle-aged people who are at risk for AD. In a recent study, investigators extended these findings to show that cognitively normal people who are APOE ε4 carriers show the characteristic decreases in brain metabolism while in their 20s and 30s—decades before the possible onset of symptoms, and considerably earlier than previously recognized. These findings provide direct evidence that pathologic changes in the brains of APOE ε4 carriers can be seen many years before the onset of detectable cognitive decline and are consistent with the idea that AD may develop over decades. Many experts believe that the degeneration leading to AD should be treated as early in the course of the disease as possible, so as promising drug treatments develop, it will be even more important to identify those at risk and make early diagnoses.
Imaging Amyloid in the Living Brain. Until recently, there have been no imaging techniques that could effectively visualize characteristic AD pathologic features in the living human brain. However, investigators have developed a compound, Pittsburgh Compound B (PIB), that binds to brain amyloid and enables it to be imaged using PET. Another compound currently under development, IMPY, has shown promise in imaging amyloid plaques using single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) in a mouse model of AD. Although further research is needed, PIB, IMPY, and related compounds may ultimately play an important role in AD diagnosis, as well as studies of the pathology and course of the disease and evaluation of drug therapies targeted against amyloid deposits.
Changes in Cognitive Performance Over Time in People at Risk for AD. Scientists tested cognitively intact individuals, ages 48–77, on several components of memory over a two year period. APOE ε4 carriers 60 and older showed a significantly greater decline over time in new learning of a list of words, as compared with noncarriers. No difference in verbal learning ability was seen between carriers and noncarriers younger than 60 years old. These results suggest that longitudinal assessment of new learning may be a sensitive measure for detecting early cognitive changes in presymptomatic people who are at risk for AD.
Preventing Alzheimer's Disease
No intervention has been proven to prevent AD or even delay its onset, but scientists continue to seek risk and preventative factors for the disease, as interventions that impact the effect of a risk or preventative factor could potentially delay the onset of the disease or prevent it altogether.
Diabetes and Decline in Cognitive Function. Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects about one in five persons over age 60 years,8 and it has been associated with a variety of adverse health effects. Recently four large-scale studies—the Religious Orders Study (ROS), the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), the Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation (MORE) Trial, and the Rancho Bernardo Study (RBS)—linked DM to changes in cognitive function. The studies suggested the following: women with DM have an increased risk of developing substantial cognitive decline (NHS, MORE Trial, RBS); postmenopausal women whose blood glucose levels are elevated, but not yet in the "diabetic" range, i.e., "prediabetic," are also at risk for significant cognitive impairment (MORE Trial); and oral hypoglycemic agents may ameliorate the increased risk in women (NHS, RBS). One study (ROS) suggested that men and women with DM have an increased risk of developing AD, and that, for both sexes, DM affects different cognitive systems differently. Together, these results indicate that a successful public-health prevention strategy for DM may also have major consequences for preventing or delaying AD. They further suggest that patients with DM who receive treatment for their condition may receive some protection from cognitive decline, in addition to the therapeutic benefit for DM.
Abnormalities in Lipid Metabolism in Nerve Cells Linked to AD. The pathogenesis of AD is tightly linked to amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition and oxidative stress, the cellular damage caused by free radicals, which are byproducts of normal cellular metabolism. However, it remains unclear how these factors result in dysfunction and death of brain cells. In a recent study, NIH researchers measured amounts of different lipids in brain cells from AD and control patients and found that AD patients had much higher levels of cholesterol and a lipid called ceramide specifically in brain regions important for learning and memory. These increases were associated with increased damage to nerve cells caused by free radicals. When cultured nerve cells were exposed to Aβ, similar overproduction of cholesterol and ceramide occurred. The increases were prevented and the nerve cells were protected when they were treated with the antioxidant vitamin E or a drug that prevents the accumulation of ceramide. These findings suggest a model of AD development that involves the disturbance of ceramide and cholesterol metabolism. This research further suggests that diets and drugs that target lipid abnormalities may be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of AD. Such drugs include cholesterol-lowering drugs, or statins, and earlier epidemiologic studies have shown a strong association between the use of statins and lower rates of AD. In January 2003, the NIA initiated the Cholesterol Lowering Agent to Slow Progression of AD (CLASP) study, a clinical trial to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin to slow the progression of mild to moderate AD. It is expected to be completed in November 2006.
Treating AD and Cognitive Impairment
To date, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved four medications for the treatment of mild to moderate AD symptoms. The first, tacrine (Cognex®), has been replaced by three newer drugs— donepezil (Aricept®), rivastigmine (Exelon®), and galantamine (Reminyl®). In 2003, the FDA approved memantine (NamendaTM), the first drug to treat moderate to severe AD. These drugs improve some patients' ability to carry out activities of daily living, help with behavioral symptoms, such as delusions and agitation, and can also maintain thinking, memory, and speaking skills for a period of time. However, none of these drugs can stop or reverse the disease process, and they appear to help only some patients and only for a period of months to a few years. Finding a truly effective intervention will depend on research progressing on a number of fronts, both in model systems and humans, and a major clinical research focus lies in testing the effectiveness of therapies in people without symptoms or who have only slight memory problems.
Vaccine That Removes Plaques May Also Remove Tangles. One way to treat AD successfully may be to interfere with early pathological changes in the brain, including the development of amyloid-β deposits (plaques) and the formation of tau-based neurofibrillary tangles, which are the hallmark pathological lesions of AD. Previous research has shown that in mice, immunization against Aβ can result in removal of amyloid plaques and maintenance of cognitive function. Now, researchers have found that a vaccine designed to clear amyloid plaques may also be effective against tau-based neurofibrillary tangles. Investigators injected "triple transgenic" mice, in which plaques, tangles, and AD-like brain damage are all present, with an antibody to Aβ. They found that Aβ was removed from both around and—unexpectedly—within neural cells. More surprisingly, they found that the antibody also removed early-stage accumulations of tau, though not late-stage tau lesions that resemble human neurofibrillary tangles. The reduction of tau pathology following an anti-Aβ treatment suggests a direct link between these two hallmarks of AD, and indicates that targeting the removal of Aβ early in the disease course might also eliminate tau pathology—thus removing or reducing both cardinal features of AD.
Donepezil May Have Short-Term Benefit for Mild Cognitive Impairment. The first NIH AD prevention trial, comparing the effects of vitamin E, donepezil (Aricept®), or placebo in preventing AD in people diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), recently concluded at more than 70 sites across the U.S. The study is part of the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) clinical trials consortium supported by NIA. Preliminary data from this study indicated that people with MCI taking donepezil, but not Vitamin E, were at reduced risk of progressing to AD for the first 18 months of the 3-year study when compared with their counterparts on placebo. The reduced risk of progressing from MCI to a diagnosis of AD among participants on donepezil disappeared after 18 months, and by the end of the 3-year period, the probability of progressing to AD was the same as that for the Vitamin E and placebo groups. However, among the subjects who did develop AD, those in the donepezil group experienced a statistically significant delay of almost 6-months in the development of AD compared to the placebo group.
Raloxifene May Reduce Risk of Cognitive Impairment in Postmenopausal Women. Studies of hormonal influences on cognitive aging in women have reported conflicting results, with some studies demonstrating a decreased risk for AD among users of hormone therapy and others, notably the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), showing that postmenopausal women on certain regimens were actually at higher risk for cognitive decline. In a recent study—the Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation (MORE) trial—the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) raloxifene (Evista®), frequently prescribed for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, appeared to reduce the risk of cognitive impairment in postmenopausal women. SERMs are compounds that mimic estrogen's actions in some tissues, but block the action of the body's naturally occurring estrogen in others. Raloxifene, like estrogen, promotes bone growth; however, it has antiestrogenic actions on the breast and uterus that reduce possible cancer-causing stimulation of these tissues postmenopause. Over 5,000 MORE participants were assigned to either 60 mg/day of raloxifene, or 120 mg/day of raloxifene, or placebo, and their cognitive function was assessed over the three years of the study. The researchers found that women taking 120 mg/day had a 33 percent lower risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI), frequently a precursor condition to AD, than the other participants. They may also have a reduced risk of developing AD or other dementia, although this finding was not statistically significant. Risk of cognitive impairment did not differ between the 60 mg/day and placebo groups. Although extremely preliminary, these results suggest that treatment with raloxifene may offer women cognitive benefits, with fewer health risks than traditional hormone therapy.
People With Early AD Can Still Learn. In a recent study of cognitive rehabilitation among AD patients, who were taking medications to slow disease progression, subjects were randomly assigned to either a "cognitive rehabilitation" (CR) group or a control "mental stimulation" (MS) group. The subjects in the CR group participated in a series of biweekly sessions in which they were taught practical strategies for enhancing their ability to perform routine tasks such as face-name recognition, making change, and balancing a checkbook. The subjects in the MS group participated in activities that required memory, concentration, and problemsolving skills. At the end of the study, those in the CR group showed significantly improved ability to associate faces and names, had faster mental processing speeds, were better oriented to time and place, and were better able to make correct change for purchases than those in the MS group, although neither group showed memory improvement for manipulating objects or balancing a checkbook. The improvements were still evident three months after the intervention ended. These findings suggest that by combining specific cognitive rehabilitation strategies, people with AD can be helped to remain engaged in daily activities and retain a connection to their family and friends and the world as a whole for a longer period of time.
Exercise Plus Behavioral Management Improves Physical Function and Mental Health in AD Patients. Research has shown that even the oldest adults can improve cardiovascular functioning and increase flexibility, balance, and strength with systematic exercise training. However, it is unknown whether an exercise program would help reduce functional dependence and delay institutionalization among patients with AD. In a recent clinical trial, AD patients received either routine medical care or participated in an exercise plus behavioral management program. The exercise program consisted of aerobic/endurance activities, strength training, balance, and flexibility training. At three months, outcomes in the patients in the intervention group improved while routine care patients declined, and these differences remained up to two years later.
Caregiving of AD Patients
Most of the over four million Americans with AD today are cared for outside the institutional setting by an adult child or in-law, a spouse, another relative, or a friend. Caregivers frequently experience significant emotional stress, physical strain, and financial burdens, yet they often do not receive adequate support. Several recent studies have explored the problems faced by caregivers of AD patients, as well as possible interventions to reduce their burdens.
Sustained Benefit of Supportive Intervention for Depressive Symptoms in Caregivers of AD Patients. Family caregivers of relatives with Alzheimer's disease are at high risk for psychological distress, particularly clinical depression. This risk persists over the many years of caregiving and even after caregiving ends with the death of the care recipient. Investigators followed 406 participants in the NYU Spouse-Caregiver Intervention Study, a long-running study of an intervention for family caregivers of people with AD. Half of the spouse-caregivers received an initial period of intensive counseling, attended weekly support groups, and were encouraged on an ongoing basis to contact counselors for support. The second group of spouses was assigned to receive the "usual" support services for families of AD patients at the Center, which included information about resources and advice upon request, but no formal counseling.
When they began the study, the two groups showed comparable levels of depressive symptoms, but after one year, 29.8 percent of caregivers in the enhanced treatment group had symptoms of clinical depression compared with 45.1 percent of those in the usual care group. Significant differences between the two groups were found through the third year of followup. These results offer evidence that distress and depressive symptoms in family caregivers can be effectively eased and that the benefits can be sustained over a long period of time.
Long-Term Care Placement of Dementia Patients and Caregiver Health and Well-Being. In a recent study of the transition experience caregivers undergo when institutionalizing a relative, investigators found that race/ethnicity, caregiver burden, and global cognitive function of the patient were important predictors of institutionalization. They also found that caregivers who reported that providing help to their relative made them feel more useful, needed, appreciated, and important were less likely to institutionalize the patient. After the patient was institutionalized, half of spouse caregivers and one-quarter of nonspouse caregivers reported visiting the care recipient at least once a day, and nearly all reported visiting at least once a week. Spouses reported higher levels of depression both before and after placement and more anxiety after placement than nonspouse caregivers. These findings suggest that although caregiver bereavement studies have shown that caregivers demonstrate recovery in response to the death of their loved one, there appears to be less benefit to the caregiver from institutionalizing the relative, possibly because the caregiving role is not wholly relinquished after institutionalization.
Initiatives: AD and the Neuroscience of Aging
Advances in neuroimaging have the potential to transform the way we predict, diagnose, monitor, and even treat mild cognitive impairment and AD. The NIA is currently developing an Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, a longitudinal, prospective, natural history study of normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, and early AD to evaluate neuroimaging techniques (e.g., MRI, PET) and other potential biomarkers of the disease. Biomarkers may decrease the time and cost of clinical trials, which would increase the safety and efficiency of drug development. An important aspect of this initiative is that the clinical, imaging, and biological data and samples will be made available promptly to all qualified scientific investigators in academic as well as industrial research communities. The initiative is planned as a partnership among the NIA/NIH and several other private and government organizations.
The NIA is accelerating the pace of Alzheimer's disease genetics research with its AD Genetics Initiative, a major new program to speed the process of creating a large repository of DNA and cell lines from families with multiple AD cases. The goal of this initiative is to develop the resources necessary for identifying the remaining late-onset AD (LOAD) risk factor genes, associated environmental factors, and the interactions of genes and the environment. The AD Genetics Initiative will intensify sample collection and encourage data sharing by providing access to the repository to qualified investigators.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
While the economic forecast may be "uncertain," it is certain that customers are reducing their budgets and spending more carefully, forcing vendors to do the same. This economic challenge will accelerate the adoption of Sales 2.0 from a "nice to have" to a "need to have" philosophy. Customer preferences, the ever-rising cost of sales and the availability of next-generation technologies are making change mandatory for companies that want to outperform the competition and minimize the impact of the economic slowdown. And companies that continue to sell the way they sold in the past will become less profitable, or fail altogether.

 What is Sales 2.0?

 Sales 2.0 is not a new technology. It is the use of innovative sales practices to improve business results, creating value for both the buyer and seller, and it is often enabled by Web 2.0 or next-generation technology. Sales 2.0 initiatives typically center on process and custome-engagement improvements to increase sales productivity. Sales 2.0 practices combine the science of measurable, process-driven operations with the art of collaborative relationships, using the most profitable and expedient sales resources required to meet your customers' needs. Its goal is to produce greater, predictable, repeatable business results, including increased revenue, decreased sales costs and sustained competitive advantage.

 Sales 2.0 initiatives require changing mindset and adjusting sales strategies. A relatively simple Sales 2.0 practice involves selling more through video or Web conferencing. This can be done by inside salespeople or by field salespeople who perform more of their jobs from their desks. Selling more efficiently should also mean selling more effectively, as many buyers now prefer to meet remotely via conference calls with video or Web conferencing, and salespeople benefit from additional selling time that otherwise would be spent traveling.

 A traditional sales process that included three or four on-site visits might now have zero or just one face-to-face visit. The financial impact of reducing travel expenses can be significant and is easily measured, but the economics of giving your most expensive sales resources—your field salespeople—additional selling time is even more compelling.

 Many products and services, especially those of relatively small to average value, can only be sold profitably with a remote or low-touch sales model. The definition of "small to medium orders" is different for every company, but they are generally those that fall into your bottom 50 percent in value. If ignored, these mid-market customers or transaction types are missed opportunities for organizations that rely solely or too heavily on a field-based sales model. And when they are sold through field sales, these smaller opportunities can derail focus and drain the organization's profitability.

 Another Sales 2.0 practice uses some "science" to accurately capture key market information and metrics such as average sales cycle, average deal size and sales-cycle conversion rates. By using a defined sales process and data analytics, you can determine how your sales force should be structured and which customers and transaction types justify the assignment of field account executives, inside salespeople, channel partners or no selling effort at all. Data analytics in this sense can range from rudimentary (pen and paper) to moderate (spreadsheets, CRM, and most reporting systems) to advanced (dashboards and on-demand sales intelligence).

 Rather than simply measuring the final result (revenue), a Sales 2.0 approach measures the effectiveness of every stage in your sales process by salesperson, giving managers the opportunity to provide targeted coaching. Data analytics also can be used to correlate and analyze the specific characteristics of your most profitable customers (size, industries, locations, buyer types, etc.) that produce the most revenue and profit. Sales and marketing leaders can then use this information to fine-tune your sales model and activities to ensure the loyalty of your most valuable customers and find more prospects like them.

 How to Begin a Sales 2.0 Initiative with Limited Staff and Budget

 A key Sales 2.0 tenet involves experimentation, often through testing new process ideas and piloting new technology. Testing a new sales message, pricing options, new technology or even a new sales process enables the organization to be innovative with minimal risk. Small pilot programs that use minimal resources enable ineffective ideas to fail on a small scale, while good ones can be rolled out more aggressively.

 Becoming a Sales 2.0 organization requires that we proactively adapt and continually improve so we can become closer to our customers and weather the economic storm better than our competitors.

Yo, yo, yo! Did you think I dropped off the face of the planet? I know that projects have been sparse lately, but that doesn't mean that we haven't been doing any. We have been up to our eyelids in projects around here. Plus, I've been sick lately. Yeah, I won't give you a sob story, but it hasn't been fun. My family is ready for me to be better. Heck, I am ready for myself to be better.
To keep to the point, my girls room began looking like this, it was cute with a lower case c. It had some cute elements, like my Christmas Ornament Lamp, and my Embroidery Hoop Wall Art, but it needed a facelift.
This picture is the only one we have of me during the process, and to prove I was there, I thought I'd post it! Just pretend I'm looking at the camera and pretend I've got a cute smile on my face, instead of looking into nothingness and looking like an orphan. Gah! I promise I was there, working the entire time.
Overall, I can definitely say that I'm super happy with the results of this project. It is exactly what I was hoping for.
I was not compensated for this post by Sherwin-Willaims, but I was given Emerald paint to try. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/1/2013 (1687 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The traditional concept of marriage is in a chronic state of decay.
Historical wedlock fundamentals are corroding, and the metamorphosis is intensifying.
There was a time when matrimony ushered in a sacred and enduring contract in which couples stayed together, literally for better or for worse, regardless of ensuing compatibility complications.
That was before the baby boomers, who as a group considered divorce to be a wholly acceptable alternative to spending one's life with an objectionable partner. The result was the "Gray Divorce Revolution," which caused a generation of children to witness parental divorce as virtually a way of life.
According to Susan Brown and her colleagues at Bowling Green State University, the divorce rate among boomers has been "astounding" and has doubled over the past two decades.
Over two-thirds of boomer divorces are initiated by wives, and researchers suggest that is because women have become more assertive. Boomers who divorce tend to be less well-educated and those in their second or third marriages are 2.5 times more likely to divorce.
The children of the boomers, the so-called Generation X, or "latch-key kids," grew up experiencing absentee parents and domestic storms between feuding parents.
Those early turbulent times, coupled with the anguish they suffered due to parental divorce, shaped their mindsets away from marriage and toward cohabitation. That was the solution favoured by the notoriously narcissistic Generation X, infamously self-reliant and autonomous, strategies that precluded commitment, so far as possible, to a "significant other."
"People of this generation are more likely to find and receive emotional support from friends than committed romantic relationships, hence the term 'urban tribe,' " explained researcher Anne Warwick. "They live together in group houses with extended families (rather than committing to one other individual)."
Having children is not a major aspiration among many Gen Xers, because children do not fit into their quest for a commitment-free lifestyle. Cohabitation avoids the necessity for marriage-like commitment.
Whereas in marriages the test is whether or not each partner can master the task of taking care of the other, in cohabitation, the reverse is true. The test is to determine whether or not the other person can fulfil your needs, not you fulfilling theirs.
"They shack up and have kids, but don't marry," Warwick reported.
It is all part of the "what's in it for me?" Gen X mindset, according to psychologist Wade Horn.
Of those Gen Xers who do marry, one-half end up divorcing, 20 per cent of them in the first five years of marriage, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
According to Pamela Paul at American Demographics, Gen Xers who cohabit prior to marriage are 48 per cent more likely to divorce, compared with those who do not cohabit first.
Generation X spawned Generation Y, whose members had largely given up on the shacking-up practices of their parents and opted instead for hooking up. For them, even dating is too much of a commitment, an intrusion into their freedom. Many favour hooking up with individuals encountered online through social media.
The hook-up culture of Gen Y stems from a desire to find "self-fulfilment and individual happiness" without commitment, according to psychotherapist Richard Boyd.
"The hook-up culture is uncharted territory," explained researcher Susan Walsh.
"It has replaced traditional dating on college campuses; the hallmark of the hook-up is the clear understanding that the encounter will be free from any expectation for further contact."
"It is designed to avoid the possibility of commitment," she added.
According to researcher Timothy Reichert, Generation Ys do not want to give up single casual-sex lifestyles.
Boyd cautioned Generation Ys intentionally avoid "available monogamous relationships" in favour of hook-ups because they do not want to be pinned down by commitment complications.

Among the highlights of Luxe Pack Monaco, the Luxe Pack Monaco Trends Observer was created to be an essential strategic planning tool for brands. The experts on this committee, in conjunction with Formes de Luxe magazine, unveiled four revamped trends at the October 2012 event.
Pink is symbolic of happiness, says the committee. Brightening up everyday life, Issey Miyake chose it for the Pleats Please fragrance and Viktor&Rolf used it for the limited edition Flowerbomb, among others. "But be aware", warns Béatrice Mariotti, vice president of Carre Noir and Trends Observer committee member, "that this color isn't being used on a girly or regressive level. It stands out for its sophistication and depth."
Depth is further enhanced by lighting effects. The bottle for Balenciaga's Flora Botanica, for example, uses pink only on one lateral face, allowing the color to reflect and diffuse. "We are not limited to a flat color, but it adds subtlety and strength by being a gradient," says designer Fabrice Peltier, founder of Fabrice Peltier Création and another committee member. For La Petite Robe Noire, Guerlain made it denser as it approaches the base of the bottle—an effect Nina Ricci reverses for Mademoiselle Ricci. "One could talk about a 'new nude,' which, while it is focused on pink, is also expressed in other colors. There is a maturity of color," offers committee member and sociologist Patrice Duchemin.
While technological advances have raised colors to their maturity, they also allow materials to be used in new and unexpected ways. Cardboard, thanks to complex printing, lacquering and embossing, transforms into wood, metal or leather. Metal is transformed into leather or fabric, while glass and plastic employ surprising tactile effects. "We are seeing veritable cloning," says Peltier.
The lacquered glass bottle for Blanc by Courrèges could pass for porcelain, and the cap of Pleats Please mimics crumpled paper. But far from merely settling for optical effects, consumers are looking for haptics (the pleasure of touch) and the real rather than the virtual—hence the need for illusion both in appearance as well as in density. "Equilibrium plays out on levels: visual, texture and feel," says Mariotti. It is an equation that allows packaging to go another step beyond playing a simple protective role.
Driven by consumers, overt bling is being succeeded by controlled bling. While for some, in times of crisis, the overly eye-catching is becoming too difficult to bear, others do not want to give it up but opt to showcase it more discreetly.
"Normality is making bling look outdated," says Trends Observer committee member Isabelle Musnik, director of content and editing at Influencia. "A new style of luxury is taking hold, less oriented toward the desire for admiration from others and more toward the search for experiential and aesthetic pleasures."
It is a movement that results in a more sparing style. "Brands are retaining their traditional motifs, but in a purified form. They are responding to a growing need in developed countries affected by the crisis to be visible, but not overly so," says committee member Rémy Oudghiri, director of the trends and prospective department at Ipsos.
The mesh found delicately hot stamped in gold on the secondary packaging of Mon Jasmin Noir by Bulgari are typical manifestations of this trend. The bottle of Lolita Lempicka's Les Dressings de Lolita is decorated with illustrations symbolizing the world of perfume.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania volleyball team will conclude its five-match homestand this weekend when the Quakers take on Cornell and Columbia for the second time this season. The Red and Blue will first host the Big Red on Friday at 7 p.m. before taking on the Lions on Saturday at 5 p.m.
Live Video/Stats
A live video feed for the matches on Friday and Saturday will be provided by the Ivy League Digital Network. Four packages are available to purchase, including a $9.95/day pass for everything Penn. See http://www.ivyleaguedigitalnetwork.com/packages for full details.

Links for the video stream and stats can also be found on the Penn volleyball schedule.
Previously on the Court
Penn recorded its second 3-0 victory in Ivy play this season in last Friday's Dig Pink match against Ivy archrival Princeton. Not only did the Quakers (10-9 overall, 4-4 Ivy) claim a victory on the court, but they surpassed their campaign goal of $4,000 for the Side-Out Foundation.
In the 3-0 (25-19, 25-22, 25-20) triumph over the Tigers, four Quakers -- senior captain Kristen Etterbeek and sophomores Alexis Genske, Michellie McDonald-O'Brien, Jasmine DeSilva -- led with eight kills apiece.
The offense was set by sophomores Alex Caldwell (24) and Ronnie Bither (14). Genske also contributed 10 digs behind senior captain Dani Shepherd, who led with 16 and also produced five of the team's 10 service aces.
Scouting Cornell and Columbia
Columbia hosted Cornell last weekend to kick off the second half of Ivy play and looked to even out their season series at one apiece. However, Cornell once again prevailed in the second five-setter of the season between these two teams, winning 3-2 (26-28, 25-23, 25-22, 20-25, 15-9). The Big Red (7-11 overall) and Lions (5-12 overall) are 3-5 in the Ivy League and in a three-way tie for fifth with Dartmouth.
Five players registered double-digit kills for Cornell: Breanna Wong (19), Grayce Campbell (15), Sarah Kramer (14), Rachel D'Epagnier (12), and Macey Wilson (10).
Columbia was led by Bailey Springer, who had 17 kills and 14 digs. Zoe Jacobs and Katarina Jovicic followed with 15 and 13 kills, respectively.
The Big Red outkilled the Lions, 73-61, but were outblocked 13-10.
Second Time Around
The Quakers started the second half of Ivy play with a sweep over Princeton and look to continue the streak. Last time Penn faced Columbia and Cornell this season, they left New York 1-1 after two five-setters.
Penn first travelled to Upper Manhattan and fell in a five-set heartbreaker to the Lions, 3-2 (25-22, 11-25, 25-20, 23-25, 7-15) but rebounded the next day with a win over the Big Red in a five-set thriller, 3-2 (25-22, 21-25, 20-25, 25-17, 15-13).
Palestra Magic
Both visiting teams this weekend sport a 3-5 home-court record, while the Quakers hold a strong 5-2 record on the Palestra court. Since the return home this month, Penn has recorded 148 kills, 142 assists, 190 digs, and 22 blocks over the 11 sets played. The Red and Blue are 2-1, with the two victories being the most recent matches -- Dartmouth and Princeton.

His approval ratings seem to indicate so.He didn't all that badly...
I don't get it. Should he have done this? Was there ever any reason to believe he would have?Something that he did not do, was put Muslim/Arab-Americans into concentration camps like the Japanese were during WWII.
And plunged them into a civil war that has caused millions of deaths and displaced persons.While met with anger at home, he launched a war in Iraq that freed millions of Iraqis from an oppressive dictator.
And they're still there.His Afghan War, was a response to al-Qaeda which was believed/was residing in the country.
I have no interest in a really long and protracted political argument (I have other outlets for that) but I think it's important to look at the other side of things. Bush may have had good intentions at first; I don't doubt that. But he failed to achieve tangible results.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/11/2012 (1734 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jennifer (Aunt Muffy) McDougall insists she has the right to take her service dog anywhere at any time without restrictions or conditions, including her new job as a cleaner at Arthur Meighen School in Portage la Prairie.
No problem about the dog, says Hazen Barrett, superintendent of Portage la Prairie School Division, as long as there's a short protocol in place to educate everyone how and when McDougall and her dog will work when there might be kids or adults around who are afraid of dogs or who are allergic.
No way, responds McDougall, that's discrimination.
And so the impasse stands.
McDougall, well-known in the area as the owner of Aunt Muffy's Hobby Farm and Petting Zoo in Rossendale, 37 kilometres southwest of Portage, got a job with the division as a cleaner last month. She was to clean eight hours a day, when classes were not in session.
She didn't take the dog to her job interview or mention her need for the dog, which helps McDougall overcome her hearing deficiencies when operating noisy equipment.
"The body language alerts me when there are people around," she explained, and the dog barks to let her know there's a phone or doorbell ringing, and most crucially, if there's a fire alarm sounding.
McDougall said when she showed up on the job with her dog, a senior staff member "approached me and said dogs aren't allowed in school. He said there are children in school, that they could be allergic."
The dog is hypoallergenic, said McDougall.
"He said a protocol needs to be in place for me in order to have the dog at work, in order for me to be employed," said McDougall. "I packed up my stuff and left with the dog."
Barrett said that the service dog and McDougall are welcome if she chooses to return to work.
"We have no issue with any employee who has a service dog," Barrett said. "It would be a valuable experience to have a service dog there."
However, Barrett said the division wanted to work out an understanding of how McDougall and the dog would do their job if children and adults who were afraid of dogs or allergic to dogs were in the building after school, or if events were held in the school in the evening. People need to be taught about service dogs and how to treat them, he said.
"We're well aware of the human rights expectations. She won't meet with us," said Barrett. "We need to do some groundwork preparing people, so they know how to react to (the dog).
"When a student comes in who needs accommodation, schools are given some time to prepare," Barrett pointed out.
Both parties in a dispute are obliged to explore all options and work out accommodations, said Yvonne Peters, vice-chairwoman of the Manitoba Human Rights Commission.
"In some cases, they may need evidence. You really need to substantiate what the concern is," said Peters, who is blind and has a service dog.
Peters said it would be inappropriate for her to hear details about the Portage case, which might end up in front of the commission, but said that in general, employers must prove undue hardship before placing restrictions on a service dog.
If someone is allergic, they must present a medical certificate. A job-seeker does not need to disclose a disability, Peters said -- accommodation gets discussed after the person is judged to be suitable for the job.
"If there is a restriction, it has to be based on concrete evidence," not on speculation or possibilities, said Peters. "We talk about reasonable accommodation."
There is also responsibility on the part of a person using a service dog to educate people that it is a highly trained working dog, Peters said.
Portage studying how other school districts deal with issue
PORTAGE la Prairie School Division is researching how other school divisions deal with service dogs in schools.
Interlake School Division has a standing five-page policy, though it is directed primarily at students who require a service dog.
That policy requires certified medical proof of the need for the service dog, and documentation of the dog's required training. The owner accepts responsibility for any damages caused by the dog, including cleanup and stains.
Appropriate training is provided for anyone in the school who will come into contact with the dog, and requires that students are taught to understand the dog's role.

So, I'm sitting here watching the Olympics (short track speed skating) and thinking about how cold it would be in Vancouver! A nice cozy yarn like this would be perfect to knit up for something warm and cozy! Plus, since it's made of wool and camel hair, I bet it's all sorts of soft!

Voted one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch " Ralphie May has released a record-setting four one- hour comedy specials and will be releasing two more this year proving that his relatable comedic genius is in higher demand than ever. In addition he recently released a vintage comedy album recorded in Houston in 1998 and his new line of barbecue sauce called "Fat Baby Jesus." Lovable enough to get away with anything Ralphie continues to capture the hearts of thousands on his sold out tours and promises to make you gleefully uncomfortable.
Since his debut on season one of "Last Comic Standing " audiences can't get enough of the larger than life comedian. Ralphie has a proven track record of selling out multiple shows in 1 500 to 3 000 seat venues. He has a no nonsense point of view and the ability to connect with a diverse audience by pointing out society's hypocrisies. Ralphie doesn't shy away from touchy topics or ethnic jokes nor does he bite his tongue when society suggests because he sincerely believes that as long as what he's saying is true people need to hear it.
At the age of seventeen he won a contest to open for his idol Sam Kinison. He later moved to Houston to develop his comedy routine at Kinison's suggestion. "All the comics I've ever admired whether it be Kinison Lenny Bruce Buddy Hackett or Richard Pryor all share a commonality " says May. "They're a tour de force. When they speak there's no room for rebuttal. They've thought it all out. Even the pros and cons of their argument they raise openly and debate in the midst of their conversation and it's a beautiful thing to watch."
On the small screen Ralphie has worked as a writer and producer on ESPN's "Mohr Sports" starring Jay Mohr and performed stand-up on numerous late night talk shows including four appearances on CBS's "The Late Late Show w/ Craig Kilborn" as well as eleven appearances on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." He has appeared on "The Man Show" and MTV's "Bash" as well as guest- starred on NBC's "Whoopie." As if that's not enough he's also one of a handful of comedians to have received a standing ovation on "The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno."
When he's not on the road Ralphie divides his time between Nashville and Los Angeles with his beautiful wife Lahna their wonderful dog Hoochie Mama and their two children April June May and August James May. He contributes much of his time and energy to helping others. Since establishing a residence in Nashville he has been actively involved with the 100 Club of Nashville various youth organizations and the Humane Society.

A charity that helps make life less ruff for dogs and other animals is calling on people to celebrate a milestone anniversary.
The RSPCA turns 190 this month - and in honour of the event the Friern Barnet branch, based in Pets at Home, in Pegasus Way, will hold a party.
Volunteers are inviting people into the shop this Friday to find out more about the charity and take part in quirky animal themed activities.
Games include 'pin the microchip on the doggy', a raffle draw and hide and seek.
Georgina Holding, a rehoming coordinator in Friern Barnet, said: "We want to celebrate the society as a whole. When it first began, it was more about working animals such as ponies.
"We weren't a nation of animal lovers back then but as the RSPCA has grown, we've also grown to appreciate animals more."
The RSPCA says 45,000 animals pass through the centres every year and also include an adoption service.
Cats are available to adopt from the store, and dogs are often brought over from the Potters Bar branch on weekends.
It will be held on Friday, June 20 from 3pm to 6pm.
