TUESDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Sophisticated brain imaging
techniques may help doctors one day identify which patients with
mild cognitive impairment are likely to progress to Alzheimer's
disease, Swiss researchers report.
Using a combination of specialized MRI scans and an artificial
intelligence technique, radiologists at University Hospitals of
Geneva said they were able to predict which patients had mild
cognitive impairment that was likely to progress to Alzheimer's as
opposed to stable mild cognitive impairment.
"Medication against Alzheimer is presumably most effective when given early in the disease progress," noted lead researcher Dr. Sven Haller, a radiologist in the department of diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology. "Our results help to identify subjects at risk for cognitive decline at an early stage, which might result in an earlier and more specific treatment."
For the study, published online Tuesday in advance of the
December print issue of the journal
Radiology, Haller and his colleagues examined specialized MRI scans of 35 healthy individuals, with a mean age of 64, and 69 patients with mild cognitive impairment, mean age of 65. All the patients had been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment based on a battery of neuropsychological tests. To determine which patients had progressive versus stable mild cognitive impairment, the tests were repeated one year later.
Using a specialized technique called susceptibility-weighted
MRI, Haller's group found that patients with mild cognitive
impairment had a greater number of tiny leaks, or microbleeds, in
the blood vessels of their brains than did control participants.
The researchers found microbleeds in 33 percent of individuals with
stable mild cognitive impairment and 54 percent of those with
progressive mild cognitive impairment, versus only 14 percent of
the control participants.
In addition, Haller's group found that those who had mild
cognitive impairment were more likely to have increased
concentrations of iron in certain parts of their brains and reduced
levels of iron in other parts, compared with the control group.
The researchers then analyzed the MRI data with an artificial
intelligence technique known as support vector machines (SVM),
which helps identify patterns within a group and create
classifications. With the use of SVM, Haller's group said it was
able to predict with 85 percent accuracy which patients had
progressive versus stable mild cognitive impairment.
However, at least one prominent Alzheimer's researcher in the
United States was skeptical of the findings.
Dr. Sam Gandy is professor of neurology and psychiatry and
associate director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at
Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He said the claim
that the presence of cerebral microbleeds may be predictive of
Alzheimer's "does not agree with the well-established
neuropathology of mild cognitive impairment."
He added: "Perhaps these subjects are destined for vascular
dementia or mixed dementia, but this study does not fit with what
we know about garden-variety Alzheimer's disease."
But even though Gandy questioned these particular findings, he
said he was encouraged by how much Alzheimer's research is being
done right now.
"The level of attention has really been increasing substantially in the last few years, and it's very exciting to see so many people looking at so many different strategies to attack the problem," he said. "But we've still got a lot more hard work to do."

Every year hockey fans try their hand at predicting who will win each round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs; this is a time honour tradition. There are several bloggers, writers and experts who post their predictions online but who has time to search the Internet for those predictions? Well I did and found 100 first round NHL predictions, so don't take one person's advice on who should advance when you can see 100 predictions at once.
Washington Capitals against the New York Rangers: I predict that the Capitals will win this series and it looks like 85% agreed with me. Only 15% think the Rangers can pull off the upset.
Philadelphia Flyers against the Buffalo Sabres: I predict that the Sabres will pull off the upset here however I am in the minority here. 60% feel that the Flyers can overcome their goaltending issues and beat the Sabres.
Boston Bruins against the Montreal Canadiens: I predict that the Bruins will easily knock out the Canadiens and the majority agrees with me. 80% believe that the Bruins can overcome last years flop and move onto the second round.
Pittsburgh Penguins against the Tampa Bay Lightning: I predicted that the Bolts will win this series and this was the closest margin of the 100 predictions. 56% think that Tampa Bay will be able advance to the next round.
Vancouver Canucks against the Chicago Blackhawks: 14% of the projections think that the defending champion Blackhawks will be able to beat the Canucks for a third straight year. This is Vancouver's year as they are the most dominating team in the NHL and I predict that they will use this series as a statement series and beat Chicago in five games.
San Jose Sharks against the Los Angeles Kings: This is the most lopsided prediction as many feel the Kings injuries will be too much for them to overcome. Only five people feel the Kings can beat the Sharks, I am guessing they are die-hard Kings fans. I along with the other 95% think the Sharks will breeze past the Kings.
Detroit Red Wings against the Phoenix Coyotes: I am a die-hard Red Wings fan and therefore can't vote against them, but it looks like I am not the only one who thinks they can move on. 81% believe Detroit will knock out Phoenix, in what could be the final NHL games in Arizona.
Anaheim Ducks against the Nashville Predators: The Predators have never won a playoff series in their history and even though I am in the minority here, 43%, I feel that this is the year they do it. The Ducks have big time goaltender issues and Corey Perry won't score enough to advance them to the second round.
Well hope this helps with your predictions. Listed below are several of the sites that I found predictions on.

text: Interview: Divorce, Censorship and Maltese literature Stop Start Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:00 - Monday, 26 July 2010, 00:00 by Scott Grech Living in Zebbug, the same town as Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando, the MP who recently stirred the whole of Malta by presenting a private member's bill for the introduction of divorce, is Frans Sammut, the contemporary Maltese author, who, among other works, wrote the novel Samuraj, in which protagonists succumb to the pressures of a close-knit and narrow-minded society, in part because the Church is such a domineering force. Often criticised for being anti-establishment in his novels, Frans Sammut speaks to Scott Grech on how the Maltese would cope with the introduction of divorce, whether Maltese literature is a dying force, and why, in his opinion, it was justified to ban Alex Vella Gera's story 'Li Tkisser Sewwi'. "I guess you could consider Zebbug to be a microcosm of Maltese society, in that any hint of change in the ways of living is bound to bring about a wave of uncertainty and hesitation from the so-called traditionalists. "With the same line of thought it becomes easier to explain the reasoning behind the splashing of an anti-divorce poster on a billboard just outside the parish church," Frans Sammut comments. Such is the extent of the Church's influence in Zebbug, states Mr Sammut, that people from the locality still refer to men who go about their business with a minimum amount of fuss as a churchgoer, or a "ragel tal-knisja". Saying he agrees with the introduction of divorce, the Maltese author expresses caution over recent surveys which have predicted that the majority of the Maltese population would vote in favour had they the opportunity of casting a vote on the issue. "Behind closed doors, and this has always been something intrinsically Maltese, people say one thing and do another. "Considering the fact that Malta's population is an ageing one, and the fact that the Church remains the highest institution in the land, many are still scared that the introduction of radical changes such as divorce will pave the way for the abolishment of the country's other more traditional values. "It will be interesting to see the reaction of the older generation if divorce is introduced in Malta," comments Mr Sammut. Written a few years after Malta acquired independence, Samuraj tells the story of lone bachelor Samwel, who falls for Zabbett, a young woman in her twenties, and the controversy which shrouds their lives after Zabbett feels the restraint of her parents and moves in with Samwel. The lives of the pair take a turn for the worse when they eventually succumb to the intrusion and pressure of the village community, losing both one another and the desire to live. "While the Church is no longer such a domineering force, and people have become more liberal, there is still a significant proportion of adolescents who feel the restraint of such a society and are left with no option but to seek pastures new in foreign countries," said Mr Sammut. Bearing in mind such a suffocating, controlled and stifling society might go a long way towards explaining the widespread anger and furore caused by Alex Vella Gera's story, 'Li Tkisser Sewwi', which was published in the students' University newspaper Ir-Realtà and was banned by the Censorship Board after it was labelled to be grossly discriminating towards women. While Mr Sammut states that "there is absolutely no way that the story can ever be classified as some form of literature or other," he advocates former Labour MP Lino Spiteri's views that charging both the author and the editor in court with offending public morals is "nothing more than silly". On the other hand, it bugged him more, he adds, when the police opted to arrest a group of youngsters during the Nadur carnival celebrations two years ago, for dressing up as Jesus. "I assume that at least they could have informed the youngsters to change their attire before arraigning them in court," said Mr Sammut. He shares his opinions of the banned story: "It is not a question that the author used vulgar language to describe events which unfolded in his narrative. On the contrary, many authors use sexual expletives to add substance and realism to a story. However, they also distance themselves from their story. "I have often written things as part of the plotline which, perhaps in principle, I tend not to agree with. "However, the crux of the issue is that since there is no line of thought in the author's story, Mr Vella Gera has repeatedly failed to state his thinking behind the protagonist of the story. "Does he, perhaps, consider himself to be revolutionary in his thinking of women? Those who have tried to analyse the story from a literary point of view have failed to do so, simply because there is no literature in the story." Mr Sammut accepts the fact that there is a significant proportion of writers who are very graphic and border on the sordid in their writing, most notably the Scottish author Irvine Welsh, whose works have been classified as grotesque realism. "Literature can be as grotesque as it wants to be, but it should always include aspects of realism if authors are really honest with themselves. "It can be political, artistic, and social and take on many forms. I myself have written several novels which incorporate psychological realism and which a number of critics and readers have found to be challenging and controversial. "For instance, when Il-Gagga was published in 1971, a lot of people wanted to ban the book outright, when only two years later it became part of the Maltese curriculum at University. "However, literature should always strive to be universal and approachable to everyone, which is its necessary objective. "Authors should stick to a theme and every word used in the novel should adhere to the theme, in a similar way that every brush of paint from an artist is relevant to the whole piece of art he is painting," Mr Sammut reflects. Even though he has written on a number of controversial and sensitive topics, including sodomy, the Maltese author prides himself that he has never used a vulgar word in his fiction. Mr Sammut admits however that the whole commotion surrounding the 'Li Tkisser Sewwi' story has possibly opened up a can of worms into what does and what doesn't offend public morals. After a court decided to ban the performance of the play Stitching in Malta, only for it recently to be given a 14 rating at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, have things spiralled out of control? "Stitching is another thing altogether, because we have no clear indications of what the whole play is about since it hasn't been performed before in Malta. "However, I would have to be the first to dispel the myth doing the rounds that the Censorship Board is made up of outdated people with a backward mentality. On the contrary, the majority are quite avant-garde in their way of thinking, and they certainly know what they're doing," said Mr Sammut. While he adds that there must have been some valid reason why Stitching was banned, Mr Sammut says it is time for the Maltese to distance themselves from sensationalism. He gives the example of those who fall privy to superstition instead of religion. "Some Maltese have cited that they have been blessed with the presence of the Virgin Mary who helped them recover from a particular illness or other. Does this mean that the mother of God has forgotten the others who are faithful Catholics and who celebrate Mass every day of the week? "Unfortunately there is a tendency in Malta to blow things out of proportion, rather than allowing for reasoning and understanding to be the order of the day, and this is starting to become the case with literature," stated Mr Sammut. Having been one of the main Maltese authors at the forefront of Maltese literature, Mr Sammut first gained recognition in the late 1960s when he co-founded the Moviment Qawmien Letterarju – the Literary Revival Movement – whose aim was to promote and improve the level of Maltese literature in the country. "Back in the 60s, Maltese literature was blessed with writers and poets of a high calibre, writers whose works were studied by major critics abroad and whom the most open-minded of critics labelled as being rebellious in writing. "Even though some are wrongly considering Maltese literature to be a dying force, in the sense that such a golden era can never be replaced, I am confident that every new generation will bring about its fair share of high-quality Maltese authors," said Mr Sammut. While voicing his pleasure at the Books at the Beach incentive, inaugurated recently by Parliamentary Secretary Mario de Marco, the author predicts that this incentive might entice the younger generation to further their reading in Maltese. In the meantime, he stresses the need for a better teaching of Maltese. "Unfortunately, it appears that the country's citizens are not very appreciative of the beauty of the Maltese language. "How else can you explain the scores of text messages which appear as running commentary on TV chat shows, but which are not edited before being transmitted? "Both the synchronic and diachronic aspects of the Maltese language need to be taught simultaneously. Having a language spoken by as little as 400,000 means that no half measures need to be taken when it comes to Maltese and everything should be done to protect such a fascinating language," said Mr Sammut, finding it difficult to control his disgust when he mentions that he was approached by someone recently who proposed that Maltese should do away with the "gh" and allow speakers of the language to write words as they sound. Asked about his favourite out of his own publications, Mr Sammut said it was Il-Holma Maltija, which took 25 years of continuous research and writing before it was complete, albeit "the most enjoyable book I ever wrote". It was during this time, when he first came up with the idea of writing the book, that he recognised the genius that was Mikiel Anton Vassalli, the first to study Maltese scientifically and according to its Semitic roots and whom Napoleon described when he arrived in Malta as "the most intelligent prisoner locked in a cell" after Vassalli was imprisoned for his radical views. Studying Vassalli's life soon fuelled a new passion in Mr Sammut, and he soon became an avid historian of Napoleon, whom he considers, together with Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great, "to be the greatest commander the world ever saw". "Napoleon practically tried to do more in Malta than the British ever did in 150 years of ruling. "He issued a series of decrees, aiming to bring about a thorough reorganisation of the government and society in Malta, and tirelessly sought to review the country's laws and regulations. He tried to rid the stagnation of Malta under the influence of the Knights of St John, whom he felt had outstayed their welcome, and strove hard to make the country on a par with other influential countries at the time. "He was in discussions with the Church at the time on whether to introduce civil marriages in Maltese society, which would have automatically paved the way for the introduction of divorce. "Had he done so, perhaps Zebbug would not have become embroiled in its current controversy," smirks Mr Sammut.

Look! 1 Block, 3 Yellow Doors
Going for a daily walk is a great way to notice trends in your neighborhood. Like when I walked down one street in Venice and realized that 3 of the houses had identically painted yellow front doors.
Call us crazy but we're pretty sure that the Blueprint Article on the "Stepped Up Stoop" started this whole craze. And we can't say that we blame anyone who gave it a shot, as we know, yellow can pack a good punch of energy. But 3 in 1 block? Do you think they organized it, or asked to use the leftover paint? Not only are they all on the same block, but 2 are next door to each other!
Would you paint your house, front door, or anything else the same color as your neighbor? Anyone have a neighbor blatantly copy them? Anyone own one of these 3 front doors that can answer our questions?
And finally, does this mean that yellow is over?
10 Comments
My parents live on Main Street in HIngham MA. We always laugh when giving directions and say "it's the white colonial w/ black shutters" because every house looks like that on that street. When we used to have a yellow door, everyone could find us!
That third door is the same door I've had on my last two houses, both 1920's bungalows. It's drafty as all get-out, and crackheads that knock on the door looking for money can see right in when i'm trying to hide, but I would never get rid of it - it's SUCH a great looking door. I love the yellow too!
I HATE Yellow. But this looks so nice. Refreshing. Makes me feel cheery.
Our neighbor a few houses down has a yellow door. Ours is Red. I wouldn't want to do the same color if I could help it, but you gotta do what you love!
Painting your door is a good idea as it signals a welcoming sign to your front stoop or porch. My parents once had a nice soft green on their front door which had been brown like the rest of the trim on that house although the house itself was gray.
Today my Mom lives in one half of a duplex owned by family friends and he painted her door a pretty cranberry-ish red, both the inside and out although the inside was not intentional and it turned out to be a great idea as it gave a shot of color to that corner of the living room, even if it may have darkened that corner a tad bit but not really a problem as it has a half moon light in the upper section to let in light and during the warmer months, it's left open and the screen door keeps criters etc out and is lockeable for some sense of security. Looks quite nice if you ask me.
I love these, they fit in so well with the neighborhood. The yellow is really lovely with the gray and the blue of the houses. I've never noticed that first one though, and I never realized that there were three on that block. I'll have to pay more attention when I'm walking the dogs next time.
What do you think of the yellow house a few blocks away?
I saved that article and had planned on doing the same to my 1940s colonial. It's currently red, but there are three almost identical houses on my block--so I think it would make it stand out. I'm taking suggestions if anyone else has any other ideas.
Yellow is so not over...
that is the most hideous shade of yellow
Maybe Orange will be the new Yellow?

Thought leaders suggest 10 solutions for a high-performing Medicare system
A recent summit in the nation's capital brought together physician and health policy experts to discuss the newest ideas for overhauling the Medicare payment system.
Underwritten by the AMA, the National Journal policy summit focused on what needs to happen to build a higher-performing Medicare system. Panelists identified gaps between widespread health care needs and current delivery and payment models, and pointed to successful innovations in other sectors of health care.
From this discussion came "common-sense ways that Congress and the health care community can work together to reimagine Medicare," AMA Executive Vice President and CEO James L. Madara (pictured above left), MD, said in his remarks at the summit.
An easy-to-read recap, recently published in the National Journal, summarizes 10 key suggestions these thought leaders emphasized throughout the summit. Among the actions put forth were the following:
- Eliminate the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula.
- Promote physician leadership to implement new health care delivery and payment models.
- Embrace private-sector innovation.
- Implement multi-payer solutions.
- Engage patients to be part of the solution.
The AMA continues to urge lawmakers to repeal the SGR formula and transition to a high-performing Medicare system using driving principles and core elements the AMA and more than 100 other medical associations submitted to Congress in December.

Amazing huge cloaked UFO next to Mercury.
- Pietkeutel

- Hits: 208
Amazing huge cloaked UFO next to Mercury. Is a giant, cloaked spaceship orbiting around Mercury? That's been the speculation from some corners aftera camera onboard NASA's STEREO spacecraft caught a wave of electronically charged material shooting out from the sun and hitting Mercury. Theorists have seized on the images captured from the "coronal mass ejection" (CME) last week as suggestive of alien life hanging out in our own cosmic backyard. Specifically, the solar flare washing over Mercury appears to hit another object of comparable size.

Gerard was staring up at the sky with narrowed eyes. He hadn't spoken for some time, so I asked him what was wrong. He shook his head and smiled.
"Mikey's free," he said happily. "I just know it."
"Can you guys hear that?" asked Frank suddenly. We all went silent, and sure enough, we heard the music.
"'Wish You Were Here,'" Gerard said softly, sitting on the ground and hugging his knees. "I always loved that song." I knew he was having regrets about killing himself, and I sat next to him.
"At least he's doing better," I reassured him. He smiled sadly, and black tears began to run down his face.
The ground beneath us began to shift. A white light broke the horizon and blinded us for a moment. Gerard and Frank looked even paler than usual.
"It's happening," I murmured as the light brightened. "The eclipse."
This occurred every once in a while; I wasn't sure exactly how much time elapsed since there was no time. Each time it brought an overwhelming sense of peace, something we all needed. Especially Frank and Gerard. I knew they felt horrible about what they had done, but it would have been worse if they had stayed. I wasn't sure how I knew, I just did.
"Everything works out for the best, Gerard," I told him as the light vanished, plunging us into darkness once again. "Everything under the sun."
"Normally I'd agree with you, Bob," he said with a smirk, "but the sun is eclipsed by the moon."
The light never lasted very long, because the darkness was always there and it always would be. We had all become used to it, this routine of black and white. I realized something, something I would never tell them. They would figure it out soon enough.
There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact it's all dark.
The end

I definitely had "signs" and I've been pregnant twice before w/singles so I know the difference. It didn't start until I was about 6 weeks along, heavy duty nausea (all day and loss of appetite) , exhaustion and fatigue that was so extreme and bloating that made me look 3+ months at 8 weeks. My husband called it and said, "you're having twins" sure enough, 10 week ultrasound revealed two little sacks :) Every pregnancy is different, but w/this one, the signs were all there!posted 04/24/2011 by lauriemccarron
I also am in the same boat as some of you. I have this gut feeling that i am expecting twins. For some reason everywhere i go ever since i found out i see tons of twins. I have had 2 dreams that i was having twins. This is my 4th pregnancy of which one was a miscarriage, and i feel very different from the others. I have no nasea at all Thank God however i feel exastated all day long, all i want to do is spleep. And the twin does not leave my mind. Did anybody feel that way and than found it was really twin?posted 07/31/2011 by Gizely
I have one year old boy/girl twins. I got really tired at first but that can happen with just one baby I hear. People didn't believe me but I needed to pee really often in the beginning. I now believe that this could have been do to the increase hormone production with twins. I thought that I might be having twins because I found out I was pregnant before my missed period so there was a higher level of HCG in my blood to detect the pregnancy. I found out officially at 11 weeks and 4 days that it was twins. I also started "showing" way before what would be expected.posted 04/25/2011 by Tracy Anne Garcia
none for me! My first ultrasound in fact revealed only one baby at 7 weeks... but the 10-wk u/s is what showed us twins. In fact the nausea and throwing up came much later for me!posted 04/28/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I don't think there are specific signs for twins. I have two friends one has 2 year old twins and one is pregnant with twins and neither knew until their ultrasounds that they were carrying twins. My one friend, her doctor doesn't do ultrasounds until the halfway point so she kind of thought it was possible because she got really big all of a sudden and she is a twin herself but my other friend really had no clue until she went in at 11 weeks for her first appt.posted 04/20/2011 by Shannon158
No signs this early. You'll have to wait for an ultrasound or until you start measuring large later in the pregnancy.posted 04/20/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
what you saw could have been the yok sack, when i was pregnant with my first it looked like twins and my dr assured me it was just the sack and that it was only oneposted 09/05/2014 by Skysmomm
When I had my first it was twins I did not feel movment or realy start to show until i was 3 1/2 months. I did get quite sick. I was realy surprised to find I was having twins 2 months early.posted 04/24/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 5+6 I have a baby bump already and I am in maternity clothes already. this is my second pregnancy, I never had symptoms with my first pregnancy until I was after 6 weeks. I found out really early with this one I found out at 3 weeks so my HCG levels had to be high enough to be detected on a home pregnancy test. so I don't know if I have twins on either side of my family. I am so sick with this pregnancy I cant eat much or even look at food and im so exhausted all I want to do is sleep. could I be carrying twins? I guess an ultrasound will only tell!posted 09/10/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
5th pregnancy... im 6 weeks and im super tired all the time. i wake up at 8m by 10:30 im ready to sleep again. my mother is a twin, im 41 and on the heavy side so those are some factors there. i wont know until my doctor decides to do an ultra sound but it seems as though this pregnancy is sucking the energy from me ... lets see if there are 2 in there ...waitingposted 06/06/2014 by ladyHaydee

Looks like my next trip will be to Colombia. "Colombia?!", you say? Yes indeed, the country spelled with TWO o's and no u. "But aren't there like, drug lords and terra-ists there and stuff? You could get kidnapped!"
Yes, the country did have something of a problem in the recent past. But with the help of massive U.S. aid – in the form of guns and cash (used to buy more guns) -, things have actually gotten a bit safer in Colombia. Well actually, we just drove the nastier problems further north; to the Mexico-U.S. border, to be precise. But for now, everyone is happy in Colombia – except perhaps the FARC (local commies) who have been losing ground and fighters for years. But that's all just sour grapes.
But safe or not, Colombia is an absolutely beautiful country – with nice people, white sand beaches, old colonial cities, and excellent food. Hey, at least that's what the brochure says! In fact, Colombia's newest slogan to attract tourists is "Colombia: The only risk is wanting to stay". I think that's awesome.
But only a fool would think it's totally safe. Being dilligent and aware of your surroundings are the keys to having a safe, enjoyable trip anywhere. Hopefully, I won't encounter what author Robert Young Pelton once called "The Four Horsemen of Colombia's Apocalypse" – Crime, Cash, Cocaine, and Communism.
Been making a list of some of the stuff to do there. Here's what I've got so far:
- Spend 2-3 nights on a white sand beach. Yes – ON the beach. No resorts, hotels, or a power grid on this beach. It's just me, a hammock, and my kindle.
- Ride a "Chiva" bus. These are party buses that drive around the city all night long. There is a bar and a band on the roof.
- Bathe in a mud volcano.
- Dance lots of salsa
- Maybe go elsewhere in the country – maybe Medellin or Tayrona Natl. Park (nice beaches, indigenous villages)
- …
I'm going to leave the day after Thanksgiving and will be gone for just two weeks. Also, the day after I get back will be my 30th birthday, so I'm also calling this "The Twilight of my 20s" vacation. It's when life will start to suck. (just kidding!) Will try to update again soon.
Oh yeah, I have some photos of Montreal that I haven't uploaded yet, so stay tuned for those as well.

TORONTO -- Barrin Simpson and Co., made sure Michael Bishop's debut was a winning one.
Bishop threw for 213 yards and a touchdown in his first start with Winnipeg, but it was the defence that anchored the Blue Bombers' 13-12 win over Toronto on Saturday afternoon. The unit forced seven turnovers, including Simpson's recovery of a Jamal Robertson fumble on visitors' 20-yard line late in the contest to preserve the tenuous one-point lead.
"That's our mindset every week, get turnovers and make plays, big plays rather than just force two and out all the time," said Simpson. "A lot of times we were backed up and we came up with big plays and big plays win the game for you."
Alexis Serna's 48-yard field goal with 4:05 remaining gave Winnipeg (2-3) its slim margin, but despite its loose play Toronto (2-3) will had a chance to pull out the win. However Jason Medlock's 57-yard field goal try with 19 seconds remaining hit the crossbar, disappointing the sparse gathering of 23,821 with the Rogers Centre roof peeled back on a gorgeous, sunny afternoon.
The attempt came after Toronto was called for a time count violation -- a 10-yard penalty because it came in the final three minutes -- while setting up the potential game-winning 47-yard boot. The Argos still had a timeout, but Argos head coach Bart Andrus didn't use it because he was told Winnipeg had called time to freeze Medlock.
"In retrospect I should've called a timeout," he said. "I was in the wrong position at the end of the bench (talking to Argos receivers).
"It was an unfortunate situation."
Serna's field goal came after Medlock's 35-yard boot put Toronto ahead 12-10 at 4:10 of the fourth.
Winnipeg's ball-hawking defence took a lot of pressure off Bishop, 33, who started for Winnipeg despite having only four practices with the team. The six-foot-one, 215-pound quarterback -- who spent nearly seven seasons in Toronto before being dealt to Saskatchewan in August 2008 -- started strong, leading the Bombers to 10 first-quarter points before succumbing to fatigue and fading noticeably in the second half.
"I was tired in the second quarter," Bishop said. "It (playing) is different from practice because you can pace yourself whereas during a game you have the clock going, guys are hustling to the line of scrimmage and your mind is just racing.
"I was good in the first quarter but that jumped on me in the second quarter. You have to credit our defence for getting the ball. We have to do a better job of putting it into the end zone when they get it for us."
Bishop didn't set the CFL on fire Saturday, completing just 16-of-30 passes. But he certainly fared much better than Stefan LeFors, Richie Williams and Bryan Randall, who combined for just 66 yards passing in Winnipeg's embarrassing 19-5 home loss to Toronto.
It wasn't the first time Bishop has led a team to victory despite limited practice time. Last year he guided Saskatchewan to victory in his Riders debut after only two practices.
Toronto's Kerry Joseph, who was embroiled in a quarterback controversy with Bishop last year, finished 20-of-32 passing for 219 yards and a TD. But he also had four interceptions and lost a fumble while rushing 10 times for 84 yards.
Early on, Bishop was able to move Winnipeg's offence, using his mobility to roll out and effectively buy more time for the Bombers' receivers. And if he didn't see anyone open, Bishop didn't hesitate to head upfield and get what he could while keeping the drive alive.
The former Kansas State star's experience also showed when Toronto attempted to blitz to get pressure on him. He used his feet to evade the rush and was cool in the pocket in making his progressions quickly and throwing the ball away if no receiver was open.
"Young guys, they want to try and fit it in there," he said. "But you definitely need to know when to throw it out of bounds, live to fight another day and let the punt team kick it away."
Winnipeg head coach Mike Kelly scaled back the playbook significantly before the game and again after play began to ease Bishop's workload. But he figures Bishop will be much sharper as he grows into the offence.
"Michael was knocking the rust off as we went along," Kelly said. "He started to lose his legs there a bit but that was something you kind of anticipated.
"Right now, if our defence continues to keep us in games I'm sure we'll see Michael improve each week as he gets more familiar with what we're doing and with our receiving corps."
Toronto twice threatened to go ahead in the third, only to have Winnipeg linebacker Siddeez Shabazz end both drives with interceptions. His first pick came at the Bombers' goal-line -- the Argos still pulled to within 10-9 with the conceded safety at 10:12 -- with the second coming on a ball that deflected off receiver Dovonte Edwards' hands at the Winnipeg 42.
"The way they play with that grit and determination, I think it's a special unit," Kelly said of his defence. "Those guys are keeping us in games right now."
Terrence Edwards had Winnipeg's touchdown. Serna booted the convert and two field goals.
Chad Lucas scored Toronto's touchdown. Medlock added the convert and a field goal.
NOTES -- Bishop spent six-plus seasons and appeared in 100 career games with Toronto before being dealt to Saskatchewan on Aug. 23, 2008 . . . Edwards attended his first CFL training camp with the Argos in 2005 but was injured early and released prior to the start of the regular season . . . Winnipeg's scratches were receiver Adarius Bowman, linebackers Joe Lobendahn and Pierre-Luc Labbe and defensive back Brandon Stewart. For Toronto, receivers Reggie McNeal and James Robinson, tackle Shannon Boatman and defensive tackle Walter Curry didn't dress.

Wackie Cake Recipe
This recipe was featured in a local newspaper recipe contest several years ago. Since then I have made this chocolate cake every year for my son's birthday party. We have such a big party that in addition to this cake, I also order a large vanilla cake from the bakery. As soon as the candles are blown out, people rush the table to get in line for a piece of the chocolate cake. I did cake decorating for a few years and have made some elaborate cakes, but this is my all time go-to recipe. It is so easy and delicous. Everyone loves it.
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 6 rounded T. Hershey's baking cocoa
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 1 T. vanilla extract
- 2 T. cider vinegar
- 2 cups cold water
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking cocoa, baking soda & salt.
- With a spoon, make three holes in the flour mixture. Pour the oil into one hole, the vanilla into the next hole and the vinegar into the last hole. Pour the cold water over all and stir with a whisk until well blended.
- Pour evenly into two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans which have been lined with wax paper.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick or knife. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and finish cooling on wire rack.
- Frost with your favorite chocolate fudge frosting. Decorate with chopped walnuts.

5 Ways to Clean Your Cutting Boardby Teri Tsang Barrett in How-to, January 31st, 2012
Feel like your cutting board just isn't clean enough? Not to worry — you can get the board extra clean with some products likely found in your home.
1. Rinse immediately after use. Studies show that a prewash rinse eliminates enough bacteria so that levels are safe, while submerging the board in dishwater immediately after use transfers pathogens to the wash water. Since wood is a porous surface that absorbs water, submerging a dirtied board could also cause it to split and warp.
2. Disinfect using 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. Pour it over the board and spread it around using a clean sponge. Let it stand for a few minutes as it fizzes to kill germs. Wipe off with the clean sponge and repeat as needed.
3. Remove stains with coarse salt or baking soda. Dry the board completely and sprinkle it with coarse salt or baking soda. Scrub out the stain using a sponge or a brush dipped into hot water and repeat as needed.
4. Deodorize with white vinegar. Keep a spray bottle filled with white vinegar and use it to regularly spray down a cutting board. The vinegar will neutralize odors while working as an all-natural disinfectant.
5. Sanitize using diluted bleach. An occasional extra-deep cleaning is a good idea, particularly after working with raw meat, fish or poultry. Add 1 teaspoon bleach to 1 quart water and flood the board with this solution. Let stand for a few minutes before rinsing with hot water.

A brand new Student Development Center, state-of the-art Pharmacy Technician facilities, and the Jerome Avenue Grille (the JAG) are all part of a new look on the Bronx campus for the fall semester. Call 800-55-MONROE…
The Bronx campus will have a fresh look in three main areas this fall. To better serve freshmen, keep them focused on making their education successful, and help support their individual needs both academically and personally, Student Services will be adding an Office of Student Development. This will be fully staffed with counselors dedicated to the needs of high school students who are transitioning into college life for the first time. The OSD will be in a new office complex in a centrally-located section of King Hall, the main building on our Bronx campus.
In West Hall, the School of Allied health Sciences will be opening a suite of labs for the Pharmacy Technician degree program. This will include two state-of-the-art simulated pharmacies that mimic those found in a hospital and in retail. There is also a fully-functional state-of-the art pharmaceutical lab and prep room so students can learn about and actually mix medicines.
Also in King Hall, Campus Dining Services will be cutting the ribbon on "The JAG", the Jerome Avenue Grille. This is a full-size serving center with significantly increased capacity. It will feature a large char broiler, separate sections for grilled foods and hot foods, enlarged salad and Panini centers, and ice cream, smoothie, and bakery counters. The JAG will also include a brand new 120-seat dining hall with custom booths, leather chairs, and state-of-the-art sound system.

Dates: Course begins on Monday 22 September 2014
Course fees: £4,000
This course will change your life. That's not hyperbole on our part. Under expert supervision, you'll take on one of the most demanding tasks any writer can face – to plan and write the first draft of an original novel. It's not for the faint-hearted, but it is one of the most rewarding life experiences any creative person could ask for.
Led by Booker-nominated writers Adam Foulds (The Quickening Maze) and James Scudamore (Heliopolis), during this 6-month course you'll turn what is currently just a concept in to a finished first draft. Expert tutelage and feedback will assist you with every aspect of the writing process, from technical workshops to help you build worlds and give depth to your characters, to motivational tricks to keep you going when things get tough.
As the course progresses, you'll learn critical reading techniques which will transform the way you look at writing forever. Through one-to-one tutoring, constructive assessment and rigorous feedback sessions, you'll learn what makes your personal style distinctive, and develop your voice in ways you may never have expected.
A supportive group environment with specified deadlines will keep you on-track and ensure you have a finished manuscript in your hands by the end of the course. And that's not all. Once your first draft is complete, you will have the opportunity to pitch it to working editors and agents, for invaluable expert feedback, which could even get you on the road to being published. This isn't just a writing class, it's an achievement to be proud of.
If you're interested in signing up for How to complete the first draft of a novel and would like more information please email email@example.com or contact him on +44 (0) 20 335 32612 between 9.30am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday.
Course programme
The course will consist of two 12-week semesters.
Semester 1 will run from Monday 22 September to Monday 8 December 2014
Semester 2 will run from Monday 5 January to Monday 23 March 2015
Week 1 – Monday 22 September 2014
Introductory motivational workshop. There will be an extended discussion about the nature and purpose of the course, its etiquette and expectations, and the ambitions and preoccupations of the group. The discussion will cover literary likes and dislikes, and projects about to be embarked upon or still in the ether. Members of the group will be asked to bring and read out an extract (paragraph or poem length) by their favourite author. Additional warm-up exercises will be set.
Week 2 – Monday 29 September 2014
Workshop focusing on voice and perspective. The discussion will include modes of narration and communication, angles onto subject matter, style, tone, ventriloquism, free indirect, the reconstitution of author experience into fiction, word and sentence choice. Relevant technical exercises will be set.
Week 3 – Monday 6 October 2014
Workshop focusing on character and dialogue. The discussion will include naturalism and authenticity, restriction, identity, reliability, sympathy, time and transformation, cliché, observation and detail, interiority and exteriority, activity and psychology, and reader interpretation. Relevant technical exercises will be set.
Week 4 – Monday 13 October 2014
Workshop focusing on action, landscape and structure. The discussion will include world building and design, location and travel, atmosphere, imagery and description, tension and drama, pace, choreography, scenes and chapters, plotting and organisation. Relevant technical exercises will be set.
Weeks 5 – 21 – Monday 20 October – Monday 2 March 2015
Intensive critiquing and editing workshops. Three students will read work and receive feedback per session, for 45 minutes each. Students will have their work critiqued by tutors and the group four times each during this period (once a month). There will also be a 45-minute session at the start or the end of each workshop where further literary extracts or pre-set texts will be discussed and further technical exercises set, or for visiting speakers to hold seminars and answer questions.
Weeks 22 – 23 – Monday 9 March – Monday 16 March 2015
Individual private tutorials with tutors. Six students will be seen each week. Students will receive complex and thorough assessment of their work, advice for improvement and editing notes, and a detailed plan for finishing their projects and future writing.
Week 24 – Monday 23 March 2015
Closing workshop. There will be a thorough summation of the course. Further practical and philosophical advice will be given about the discipline, ethos, and challenges of writing and the literary industry. The individual projects of students will be celebrated and commended.
Writers who successfully complete the course will qualify for an appropriate award from UEA, which will be made on the basis of ongoing assessment and a final submission of at least 10,000 words.

Mattel Introduces Black Barbies with 'Authentic Features'
ktla.com: EL SEGUNDO -- Barbie is getting some new friends. Mattel announced Tuesday that it is launching a line of black dolls with more "authentic facial characteristics" than the company's dolls have featured until now.
The dolls, which are part of the "So In Style" line have "fuller lips, a wider nose, more distinctive cheek bones and curlier hair," according to the world's biggest toymaker.
Mattel said its new "So In Style" line is intended to "celebrate the diversity of African-American Girls and encourage positive themes."
"So In Style" was developed and inspired by Barbie designer of 12 years, Stacey McBride-Irby, an African-American mother of two who wanted to create a line of dolls more reflective of her daughter and community."
The line features Grace, Kara and Trichelle, "three best friends who are all about fashion, fun and friendship. Each of the dolls features its own unique personality and style and reflects one of three varying skin tones," it said.
Each of the three dolls has a little sister.
McBride-Irby said she was inspired to create black fashion dolls that her then-4-year-old daughter could relate to when she watched her play two years ago. She said she wants the new dolls "to not only be an authentic representation of my community and culture, but to also encourage girls to be inspired and dream big."
The "So In Style" doll will cost $19.99 for a big and little sister set and $7.99 for the little sister alone. A hair-styling set that will allow girls to curl, straighten and style their dolls' hair will sell for $24.99.

about time!
I'm so happy I have boys. I hate Barbies. My daughters would be mad at me for denying them Barbies.

Part of Rockwell's Speaking of Liberty was first released.
Since then, only Rothbard's books have been released. Three for three, we got
A) For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto, followed by
B) What Has Government Done to Our Money?/The Case for a 100% Gold Dollar, and finally
C) The Ethics of Liberty.
I absolutely love these online audiobooks. They have made consumption of informative material so much easier.
Mises.org has just finished releasing the last chapter of The Ethics of Liberty. Anyone have any idea which book they'll release next?
What do you think, will it be another Rothbard book? Perhaps Man, Economy, and State with Power and Markets?
Or, will they start releasing some of Mises's books, such as Human Action (Scholar's Edition, which I own but have not read), or the much short Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth (1990 edition, which I own and have read)?
Or, given our general agreement about a certain presidential candidate, perhaps next will be Freedom Under Siege: The U.S. Constitution After 200 Years.
Or maybe even the wonderful The Market for Liberty by Linda & Morris Tannehill. (See here for quotes from the book I adore and for areas where I believe the book is wrong or misleading.)
Could it be The State: Its History and Development Viewed Sociologically by Franz Oppenheimer.
Perhaps it will be the complete Bastiat Collection. (Those wishing to download The Law for free can do so here. This audiobook contains a wonderful Forward and Introduction by Walter E. Williams and Richard Ebling, as are available from the FEE release of The Law, which I also own.)
Of course there's always the amazing Economics in One Lesson (50th Anniversary Edition, which I own, have read, and adore)--that is, if the copyright holders don't object. That book really ought to be on every human's must-read list.
Or it could even be Left and Right: A Journal of Libertarian Thought (Complete, 1965-1968). No reason a journal can't be rendered into .mp3s.
What do you think will be next? Personally, I'm rooting for Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth (1990 Edition) followed by Economics in One Lesson (50th Anniversary Edition); not that I wouldn't be ecstatic to hear Man, Economy, and State with Power and Markets (Scholar's Edition).
Really not sure yet. There are so many candidates!

Madie's Family Home
House Call
Name: Madie
Location: Italian Market area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Our house was built in 1880 and was in desperate need of some work when we bought it in 2007. After we moved in, we removed layers upon layers of wallpaper and restored most of the original plaster walls. We also refinished the old pine floors which were covered in multiple layers of linoleum and red carpets. The house is a little quirky and it's on an odd-shaped lot. We embrace all the idiosyncrasies of our house and believe that these quirks are what makes our house special.
Our taste can be defined as eclectic and colorful. We travel a lot and we have a lot of fun things collected from our journeys. We accidentally ended up with two Milo Baughman chairs! One was scavenged in Texas during our undergraduate days and the other one we got from a thrift store in Philly. At the time we had no idea who Milo Baughman was!
We recently had a local artist, Isaiah Zagar, do a mural on the side of our house and it is absolutely stunning! My husband and our son who is almost two, really enjoy our neighborhood and the house.
Thanks Madie!

This may be a good candidate for a house tour. Kudos to you for all that restoration work. The walls and floors look terrific.
I would love to see the rest! You did a fantastic job mixing colors and patterns in a way that is a lot, but not overwhelming. I really like the shoe shelves in the bedroom.
More please! Definite candidate for a house tour!
House tour!!!!!!!
I am really digging your little pad. I am oddly attracted to to that cool shoe wall in your bedroom. Nice job!
Mural! Where's the mural!
Also, where is your couch from? I love the shape and color.
Loving the colors and the quirks!
Wanting to see more, esp. the exterior and mural, as well as the kitchen, etc.
Only thing I'm not really loving are the exposed shoe shelves.
I secomd the couch comment- this is the second couch I've seen like this on AT in the past few days and I would LOVE one that size and shape for my tiny apartment... Any sources? Is that a specific type of couch?
Charming! I can't imagine what a pain it must've been to remove layers of wallpaper from plaster walls. My favorite item is the desk lamp with the round green shade.
Quirky, charming, personal, stylish..... I love it. That shoe display is like art.
I would like to see a house tour too! I live in Philly and am always curious as to how other Philadelphians arrange things in their rowhomes. Plus, I'd like to see wider shots of the rooms - I really like the use of color. Fun, but not overwhelming.
I'm also curious about the floors - especially the kind of condition they were in once the layers were peeled back, as my house has the original pine underneath carpet and I'd like to refinish them as well.
My house has layers upon layers of wallpaper too (I've counted at least five in the kitchen). It's on the ceilings, painted over, textured, textured AND painted over - but I'd much rather remove it from plaster than sheetrock ANY day.
What's the source for the blue couch? Love it!
Books in the fireplace! Love! Also, the couch suspense is killing me! I need it.
Wow - I have the exact same coffee table!! I inherited it from my aunt. I also have two matching side tables. Where did you get yours??
LOVE it! It looks so homey, cozy and just plain awesome. You could get so much creative stuff done in this house; it inspires creativity.
House Tour please! :)
Gotta love the Lane Acclaim coffee table- NYGirl202 you can google Lane Acclaim for more info.
I like this a lot!! Ditto on the house tour!
Love how you stored your shoes in the bedroom.
Great house, lovely colors. Could you tell me where you found that rocker in your living room (tucked into the right hand side of the photo)?
Goodness I love your house. You have also inspired me to display my shoe collection out in the open.
Alright Philly! Isaiah's a great guy -- bit of a nut, but a true original.
So where's your kitchen? Shot #3 looks like you converted it into a den, with the door out to the backyard.
I agree - charming and cozy. I'd love to see more of this house. It's so nice to see a house where the owners' personalities shine though!
I'm loving the shoe shelf!
Very charming! I'm not a fan of the chair in the second picture, but everything else I love. The overall style is great, and I especially like the bedroom. Nice use of color, too, without being over the top. Would love to see the full tour. :)
I love love love your house! And it gives me hope, as I too have a Philadelphia rowhouse that came with multiple layers of wallpaper (all removed! next step: plaster repairs) and original pine floors underneath the green carpet/red carpet/linoleum/plywood. (Also all gone: floors refinished.)
@the urban girl, I'd highly recommend Julio of Pro Floor Sanding. He refinished our original hard pine floors and they're beautiful. A bit rustic -- i.e. you can see the gaps between the boards, and the original nail holes -- but if you like that look (I love it) they're great. Pulling up all the carpet (and the staples) is backbreaking, but so worth it.
I heartily concur with everyone who wants a tour, by the way! Love the colors and collections.
Thanks for the recommendation philadelph!
I would so much rather restore/refinish than put down new floors. I'm trying to keep as much of what's left of the original house as I can. :)
This place definitely deserves a House Tour! :)
what a beautiful place.
Thank you everyone for your generous comments! Sorry for the late response but I had no idea that AT had run this post.
The couch was from Crate & Barell. I don't think that they carry it anymore.
the urban girl: The floors were covered in multiple layers of linoleum (one layer even looked remotely like wood) and red, blue and green carpets. The floors had a thick layer of black linoleum glue on them. We had the floors professionally re-finished. They had been covered up for so long that they were in great shape.
aweekinparis: I bought the coverlet in India twenty years ago!
NYGirl202: I got the Lane Acclaim coffee table at Berlin Mart, an outdoor flea market, in New Jersey. I also have the matching end tables that I found at a Goodwill store.
Zoo: we got the rocker at a thrift store in Texas for free! They had so much inventory that they were giving away things for free to college students.
Arkay: the kitchen is between the dining room and what you call the den (which is actually my little office room). I could only submit 5 pictures to AT and there is a lot more of the house to photograph.
the urban girl: if you get your floors re-finished I would recomend that you leave the gaps (unless they are really big gaps). Wood expands in the warmer months and it needs space to expand.
Thanks again everyone and I hope I answered all your questions.
