In last month's Neurosurgery, Bennet Omalu and colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, report autopsy data on retired National Football League (NFL) offensive guard Terry Long, who committed suicide in November 2005 at age 45 following a long battle with depression. They write that Long had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) accompanied by widespread neurofibrillary tangles and neuropil threads in the brain. The findings are reminiscent of an earlier autopsy on another ex-Pittsburgh Steeler, "Iron" Mike Webster. Omalu and colleagues, including University of Pittsburgh's Steve DeKosky, had reported in July of 2005 that the 50-year-old Webster also had had CTE along with many diffuse amyloid plaques in his brain and sparse neurofibrillary tangles (Omalu et al., 2005). That earlier paper found itself hotly challenged by members of the NFL's Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee, who asked for its retraction. The Committee's rationale was not that the data was incorrect, but that Omalu and colleagues misinterpreted the definition of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. As far as this reporter has determined, the committee has not yet commented on Omalu's new paper. Nor has it issued an official response to a story in the 18 January New York Times reporting that Omalu found similar neuropathology in the brain of a third former NFL player, Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Andre Waters, who committed suicide in November of 2006 at the age of 44.
In a telephone interview with Alzforum, Omalu said that though Waters's complete brain had not been saved after autopsy, sufficient material was saved for histochemical analysis on more than 120 sections. "We found frequent density of neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic threads in the hippocampus, the neocortex, and the brainstem," said Omalu. If the findings stand up to peer review, this will represent the third young ex-NFL player to exhibit pathologies normally associated with 70- and 80-year-old AD patients.
Three retrospective cases are hardly proof that football-related injuries precipitate AD-like pathologies in the prime of life. For this reason, Omalu and colleagues have called for a prospective, longitudinal study on a specified cohort of former professional contact-sport players, such as the NFL Hall of Famers. A preponderance of evidence from other studies suggests that the effects of repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries are cumulative. Kevin Guskiewicz and colleagues at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, reported that NFL players who have received three or more concussions during their careers are five times more likely to suffer from mild cognitive impairment (Guskiewicz et al., 2005). The issue is a sensitive one for other professional sports, as well, such as boxing (Jordan, 2000).
Within the NFL, part of the debate surrounds the question of how quickly a player should play again after sustaining a concussion, and what medical attention is appropriate to prevent long-term consequences. But many neurodegeneration researchers may question whether any medical intervention is available to stem a long-term process of pathology buildup triggered by repetitive mild head trauma. These researchers are less surprised by a link between such trauma and neurofibrillary/amyloid pathologies than by the fact that this is news to society at large. Animal studies have documented this connection repeatedly (e.g., Yoshiyama et al., 2005; Uryu et al., 2002), and human data exist, as well (e.g., Jellinger, 2004).
"Recently there has been a major shift in scientific thought about the long-term sequelae of playing football. What we are finding out is that these repetitive concussions are cumulative over time and additive, and when players retire many years later they may have dementia-like disease," said Omalu. Where do AD researchers stand on this issue? Are you letting your kids play high school football?—Tom Fagan.

In this regard, any prolonged or repeated structural injury to axons, as you see in younger people with repeated head injury (e.g., Hof et al., 1991), would be predicted to have a similar outcome. This may be why the early axonal pathology associated with plaque formation is easy to model in experimental models involving axonal shear or transection (Dickson et al., 2000; Chung et al., 2005; Dickson et...

In this regard, any prolonged or repeated structural injury to axons, as you see in younger people with repeated head injury (e.g., Hof et al., 1991), would be predicted to have a similar outcome. This may be why the early axonal pathology associated with plaque formation is easy to model in experimental models involving axonal shear or transection (Dickson et al., 2000; Chung et al., 2005; Dickson et al., 2005). However, true neurofibrillary pathology may take a much longer time to develop, as it relies on the perikaryal response that builds up due to the prolonged or repeated axonal injury. In this regard, most neurofibrillary tangles in the neocortex in Alzheimer disease are still intracellular, further indicating a long period of time leading to degeneration. I would be interested in this report about more detail on the type of axonal pathology still present, and also if the tangles were largely intracellular. References:Dickson TC, Adlard PA, Vickers JC.

Luck Element
From Rangjung Yeshe Wiki - Dharma Dictionnary
Luck Element (klung rta)
- One of the four aspects of elemental divination on the basis of which calculations concerning good fortune and good reputation may be made in respect of a given year, month, calendar day or hour. The luck element is determined by combining the anmial sign corresponding to the numeric square of the subject's vitality element with a specific element, on which see Part II, pp. 000-000. The calculation of the luck element is important for the predictions of natal horoscope, where five pebbles indicative of unchanging luck are deployed, and where a pebble suggesting growth may be known as "established forward luck" (mdun tshugs), in contrast to a pebble suggesting decline, which may be known as "backward void luck" (rgyab stongs). See Part IV, pp. 000-000. GD (from the Glossary to Tibetan Elemental Divination Paintings)

A thieving art auctioneer seeks the help of an alluring hypnotherapist in order to repair his damaged memory and recover the treasured Goya painting that he stashed following a brazen heist in this kinetic thriller reteaming Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle with Trainspotting and Shallow Grave screenwriter John Hodge. Adapted from the 2001 made-for-television feature by writer/director Joe Ahearne (who collaborated with Hodge on the screenplay), Trance finds prominent art auctioneer Simon (James McAvoy) dealing with brain damage after he teams with crime boss Franck (Vincent Cassel) to steal a Goya from an auction, then tries unsuccessfully to double-cross his fierce accomplice. In response, Franck knocks Simon unconscious with a vicious blow to the skull, wiping out any memory concerning the whereabouts of the prized painting. When Simon claims to have no recollection of where he hid the stolen masterpiece, Franck and his crew grudgingly agree to let talented hypnotherapist Elizabeth (Rosario Dawson) try and pinpoint its location. Now, the deeper Elizabeth probes into Simon's subconscious, the more complex the mystery seems to grow. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

One of Marvel Comics' most popular characters comes to the screen for the first time in this sci-fi action-thriller. Matthew Murdock (Ben Affleck) is a lawyer whose father, a prizefighter, was killed by gangsters when Murdock was just a boy. Since then, Murdock has devoted his life to bringing wrongdoers to justice and is willing to help others by taking on cases no other attorney will touch. Murdock is also blind, after being struck down by a truck while trying to save a man from being hit. What no one knows is that Murdock was also doused with an unusual radioactive isotope which had a strange effect on him -- while Murdock's sight may be gone, his other senses have been raised to such a keen pitch that they act like radar, allowing him to tell where he's going and what happens around him, both near and far away. Murdock puts his gifts to use at night as the costumed crime-fighter Daredevil, whose pursuit of justice has earned him the wrath of underworld leader Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan). Kingpin wants Daredevil out of his way once and for all, and hires Bullseye (Colin Farrell), a super-assassin with an uncanny ability to throw blades, to do the job. Daredevil also makes the acquaintance of Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner), a woman with super-heroic talents who is also on Kingpin's bad side, though it remains to be seen if she has aligned herself with the forces of good as Daredevil has done. Jon Favreau, Joe Pantoliano, and David Keith highlight Daredevil's supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After a long career playing good guys, Sean Connery gets to have some fun playing a crook for a change in the romantic crime thriller Entrapment -- and he even gets to break the law with the lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones. When a priceless Rembrandt painting is stolen from a New York skyscraper in a daring and technically sophisticated robbery, ace insurance investigator Virginia "Gin" Baker (Catherine Zeta-Jones) begins looking into the matter and is soon convinced it's the work of master art thief Robert "Mac" MacDougal (Sean Connery). Gin thinks the best way to get the goods on Mac (and perhaps recover the painting) is to work her way inside his operation, so she locates him in London and, posing as a fellow art thief, offers to work as his partner. While Mac is smart enough to not accept an offer like that from just anyone, most thieves don't look as good as Gin does in a leotard, and she soon proves an able assistant in a shakedown robbery where they pinch a rare Chinese mask from a British museum. After this success, Mac agrees to join forces with Gin for what is literally the heist of the millenium -- as Midnight rolls around in Kuala Lumpur on December 31, 1999, the security computers in a major multinational banking facility will be breached for a split second as the computers roll over to a new program for Y2K. Is that long enough for Gin and Mac to nab $8 billion in bank transfers? Is 14 days long enough to prepare for a robbery of this scale? And will Mac and Gin's professional relationship pave the way for some capers in the bedroom? In addition to playing the male lead, Sean Connery also co-produced this film; the supporting cast includes Ving Rhames and Maury Chaykin. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Charles is a quiet, introspective man, fond of accumulating trivia and other facts in his encyclopedic mind; he is also troubled with the idea that Bob and Mickey may be lovers. Even though he suspects the younger man plans to kill him, Charles goes with Bob and his assistant Stephen (Harold Perrineau) on an airplane trip to find a photogenic friend (Gordon Tootoosis) of the lodge owner (L.Q. Jones), but the plane crashes in a lake, killing the pilot. The crash is miles from their planned path, so they can't expect to be spotted by an aerial search; there's only one chance: they have to walk to a more likely spot.Though Robert and Stephan are more physically fit, Charles' calm wit and ingenuity proves the key to their survival, especially after a ferocious bear brutally kills Stephen.

The acclaimed Trainspotting trio (director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew Macdonald, scripter John Hodge) reunited for this update of '30s screwball comedies and '40s fantasies, such as Here Comes Mr. Jordan(1941), Angel on My Shoulder(1946), Down to Earth(1947), and the 1946 Stairway to Heaven (co-directed by Macdonald's grandfather, Emeric Pressburger). Tossed together for $12 million, the result is a combination salad, a surreal salmagundi with an added animated sequence for lagniappe. In Heaven, Gabriel (Dan Hedaya) sends angels O'Reilly (Holly Hunter) and Jackson (Delroy Lindo) down to Earth to make two people fall in love. If the angels fail, they must remain on Earth. The target couple: well-to-do Celine (Cameron Diaz) and impoverished, aspiring novelist Robert (Ewan McGregor), a janitor at the corporation owned by her wealthy father, Naville (Ian Holm). Robert loses his job, kidnaps Celine, and the two retreat to a mountain hideout where they discuss splitting the ransom. O'Reilly and Jackson plan to make Robert and Celine love each other by putting them in jeopardy, so the two angels get hired on by Naville as bounty hunters. Although Robert and Celine argue, they also sing and dance together at a local karaoke bar, a scene evocative of both Dennis Potter's Karaoke and the memorable karaoke performance by Cameron Diaz in My Best Friend's Wedding. The angels make few gains, but when Jackson is on the brink of killing Robert, Celine comes to his rescue. Naville cancels Celine's credit card, so she robs a bank. Robert is shot during the robbery, and Celine has dentist Elliot (Stanley Tucci) remove the bullet. Robert awakens, finds the two together, and knocks out Elliot, prompting an argument that leads Celine and Robert to separate. Plagued by their own problems, the angels kidnap Celine themselves, and as complications mount, Gabriel eventually has God intervene. Filmed in Utah, although Hodge originally planned the story to take place in France and England. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Hong Kong director John Woo's second U.S. film (his first was Hard Target) delivers a number of exciting action sequences but is let down by a credibility-straining plot. John Travolta plays Vic Deakins, an Air Force pilot on what is supposed to be a routine night flight mission with his co-pilot, the younger Riley Hale (Christian Slater), whom Deakins constantly kids for lacking the "will to win." Deakins is actually a traitor who crashlands their Stealth Bomber in Death Valley so that he can steal two nuclear warheads onboard and sell them to terrorists who plan to blackmail the government. Deakins meets up with his cohorts, who have been waiting in the park, while Hale survives and teams up with a young, attractive park ranger (Samantha Mathis) to foil Deakins's plans. Plenty of action ensues, with car chases, collapsing mine shafts, fights on burning trains, and even the underground detonation of a nuclear device. Despite the script's implausibilities and inconsistencies, Woo amply displays the expertise with action sequences and man-to-man conflict that has made his Hong Kong films cult favorites. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

When Arthur Miller's play The Crucible was first staged in 1953, it was widely acclaimed as a metaphor for the recklessness of Joseph McCarthy and his spurious crusade against communism. In its 1996 screen adaptation (scripted by Miller), the tone has been adjusted somewhat and plays as a warning against the dangers of political and religious extremism of all kinds. After a group of young women is accused of witchcraft in the Puritan community of Salem, Mass. in 1692, Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder) is held in suspicion of practicing magic. Abigail in turn levels charges against John Proctor (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his wife Elizabeth (Joan Allen). Abigail has a private grudge against the Proctors; while working as their servant, she had an affair with John, and when John ended the relationship and returned to his wife, Abigail was fired. Now the Reverend Parris (Bruce Davison) is hearing accusations and counter-accusations of misdeeds from all sides of the community in the wake of Abigail's charges, so he brings in Judge Danforth (Paul Scofield) to determine who is guilty or innocent. However, given the moral climate of the time, it seems someone has to be found guilty of witchcraft, even though firm evidence of wrongdoing is becoming hard to come by. This was the second screen version of The Crucible, though it was the first one in English; the previous version, filmed in France in 1956, starred Simone Signoret and Yves Montand. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

When Michael Crichton wrote his best-selling thriller Rising Sun, he wrote the character of hero John Connor with Sean Connery in mind. For Philip Kaufman's film version of the novel, Sean Connery, needless to say, fits seamlessly into the role of a legendary police detective who is an expert in Japanese culture. The story takes place in the towering office building of the Japanese Nakamoto Corporation in Los Angeles, who are negotiating a deal with Microcon, an American electronics firm. During a gala held one night in the Nakamoto offices, the body of a woman, Cheryl Lynn Austin (Tatjana Patitz) is found murdered in the main conference room. Arriving quickly on the scene is high-amped police lieutenant Tom Graham (Harvey Keitel), who oozes hatred for anything Japanese from every pore. When he has trouble getting cooperation from the Nakatomo executives, Graham calls in Web Smith (Wesley Snipes), a Special Services liaison, and John Connor (Connery), a man well-versed in Japanese culture and traditions. Together they form a team as they investigate the crime. Connor questions computer video expert Jingo (Tia Carrere), who works on a security system computer disc that captures the killer's identity. The only problem is that the image of the killer on the disc has been altered to conceal the murderer's face. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Howard Franklin wrote and directed this film noir character study based on the famed New York Daily News photographer Weegee. Joe Pesci plays a character named Bernstein, a freelance photographer for the New York City tabloids of the 1940s. His life is dedicated to his work; with a police radio under the dashboard of his car and a darkroom in his trunk, he quickly and efficiently races to the scene of crimes, accidents and murders to snap photographs of gangsters, politicians, cops, and prostitutes, which he promptly delivers to the newspapers. His knack for arriving at a crime scene before the police earns him the nickname the Great Bernzini. The trouble begins for Bernstein when he agrees to look up a gangster for Kay (Barbara Hershey), the sexy owner of a fancy Manhattan nightclub. After making inquiries, Bernstein traces the man Kay is looking for, but he turns up dead. When he informs the police, he becomes a suspect in the murder; it also turns out that the FBI is interested the case. Bernstein then uncovers an elaborate conspiracy concerning gas rationing, the mob, and the government. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Brain Donors

Brain Donors is a game attempt to redo the Marx Brothers' A Night at the Opera in a contemporary setting. John Turturro plays the "Groucho" character, a shifty lawyer (he's even given a Grouchoesque three-barrelled moniker). Bob Nelson is the "Harpo" counterpart, a puckish handyman. And Mel Smith completes the trio as a Chico-like cabbie. All three conspire to save a failing ballet company on behalf of dowager Nancy Marchand, who does a film-length impersonation of Margaret Dumont. At times, Pat Proft's script comes off more like a 3 Stooges short than a Marx Brothers romp, but that's not so bad. What hurts the film is its fluctuating pace, which shifts into neutral just when it should go into hyperdrive. Will Vinton's Claymation opening titles supply some of the film's biggest laughs. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The title character, played by John Turturro, is a Broadway playwright, based on Clifford Odets, lured to Hollywood with the promise of untold riches by a boorish studio chieftain (played by Michael Lerner as a combination of Louis B. Mayer and Harry Cohn). Despising the film capital and everything it stands for, Barton Fink comes down with an acute case of writer's block. He is looked after by a secretary (Judy Davis) who has been acting as a ghost writer for an alcoholic screenwriter (John Mahoney, playing a character based on William Faulkner). Also keeping tabs on Fink is a garrulous traveling salesman (John Goodman), the most likeable, stable character in the picture. And then comes the plot twist to end all plot twists, plunging Barton Fink into a surreal nightmare that would make Hieronymus Bosch look like a house painter. Once more, Ethan and Joel Coen serve up a smorgasbord of quirkiness and kinkiness, where nothing is what it seems and nothing turns out as planned. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

She tells her father that she is engaged to be married. When the shocked George asks to whom, she says his name is Bryan (George Newbern) and that he is an "independent communications consultant." George is even more shocked when he finds out what the wedding will cost (when George goes through the card file for invited wedding guests and is told someone is deceased, George chirps, "He died? That's great!"). As George is ignored during the mad preparations for the wedding, he wistfully looks back to all the good times he has had with Annie and sadly looks forward to the time when he loses his little girl. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Joel and Ethan Coen's third collaboration, the gangster film Miller's Crossing, stars Gabriel Byrne as Tom Reagan, the right-hand man of big-city Irish mob boss Leo (Albert Finney). The film opens with Italian mobster Johnny Caspar (Jon Polito) and his second in command Eddie Dane (J.E. Freeman) informing Leo and Tom that they are going to kill bookie Bernie Bernbaum (John Turturro) because he has been revealing Caspar's fixed fights to other gamblers. Leo informs Caspar that Bernie pays for protection and is not to be touched. After the Italians leave in a huff, Tom informs Leo that he should give up Bernie. Tom and Leo are both involved with Verna (Marcia Gay Harden), Bernie's sister. After a failed hit on Leo starts a full-scale mob war, Tom reveals to Leo the truth about his relationship with Verna. This leads to a falling-out between the pair. Tom goes to work for Caspar, but in truth, he is still loyal to Leo. Tom figures out how to manipulate all of the situations so that Leo survives, but this may cost Tom his relationship with Verna. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

I have numbers please feel free to message me with how I can help
I have numbers please feel free to message me with how I can help
Yeah sure I'll send u my emailOriginally Posted by Scavenger123
I have exactly the same need (pretty much the same reason, making a diet tracking spreadsheet). After hours of research here is what worked for me. (B2:B64 is the range in the column.)
Index & CountA are both functions. when usuing the iPad it is a bit difficult to figure out because you can not just type in the formula, apple holds your hand. When you put in the Index funtion you get all the "bubbles" to replace. touch on the ones you need to replace and in this instance you have to delete a few optional ones that are not needed.
(range) is the cell range you are looking at, delete (row-index) and (column-index) and the commas in between them. touch (area-index) and replace with COUNTA(B2:B64) {you have to use your finger to select the range, you can not just type it in}
Thats it. Worked like a charm. This cell then gives you the last entry in the range.
Hope this helps someone - it sure took me long enough to figure it out.

rubyproblems.com is now live!
2010-04-07 14:50, written by Gregory BrownBack on St. Patrick's day, I had made the following plug about rubyproblems.com at the bottom of my last post:
This site will provide realistic exercises that test your Ruby and general coding skills, along with detailed tutorials written in the style of RBP explaining possible solutions to the problems. The exercises will be free and open to everyone, the solutions we'll be selling as nicely typeset, professionally edited, DRM-free PDF download
I am pleased to announce that this service did indeed launch yesterday, and that you can give it a try by heading over to rubyproblems.com now. If you need a bit more information, consider checking out this screencast or this announcement.
While this is still a bit of an experiment for us, we're really excited to see how things turn out. Those who liked my book should love this site, which is why I'm announcing it here.
But now, the RBP blog should return to its non-marketing-hype self. In fact, I really want to find the time to write about why I think this is the most horrible syntax ever:
describe Array do its(:length) { should == 0 } end
But I suppose that bit of flame bait will need to wait until a later day :)

VERY nice!!! I'm sure your DH will have exactly the reaction you describe to discovering both that you've gone commando, and your new wax job. Do yourselves (and the other people on the road) a favor, though, and pull off the road before you give him head. Alright, I'm done sermonizing now.

Prehistoric frogs face extinction
Thursday 20 May 2010
The world's most ancient frogs may soon be mined to extinction, if the New Zealand government's plans to open up a conservation area for mining go ahead.
The primitive Archey's frog (Leiopelma archeyi) and Hochstetter's frog (Leiopelma hochstetteri) are two of the species that inhabit the area of 'high conservation value' on New Zealand's North Island where the mining is planned to take place.
Archey's frog is currently ranked top of the Zoological Society of London's (ZSL) EDGE of Existence amphibian list, making it the most evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered amphibian on the planet. Described as a "living fossil", Archey's frog is almost indistinguishable from the fossilised remains of frogs that walked amongst the dinosaurs 150 million years ago.
"In the year when reducing biodiversity loss is high on the political agenda, it is inconceivable to think that we'd put the nail in the coffin of some of our rarest and most extraordinary frog species," say Helen Meredith, EDGE of Existence amphibian conservation projects coordinator at ZSL.
She adds: "We will be faced with these kinds of decisions again and again in the future. Now is the time to start recognising the long-term value of our natural world over any short-term economic gains."
The frog populations have been intensively monitored for over 40yrs, representing the best data set on frog populations in the world. The proposed mining will cut through the heart of these monitoring sites.
Dr Phil Bishop, leader of the University of Otago's frog research says "Only four species of frog survive in New Zealand, and this proposed mining activity could cause the extinction of one of New Zealand's native amphibians, and a severe decline in another - a devastating blow to global amphibian conservation."
7,000 hectares of land in the West Coast's Paparoa National Park, Great Barrier Island and the Coromandel Peninsula has been proposed to be considered for mining of coal, gold, iron ore and other rare minerals.
The North Island brown kiwi, long-tailed bats, striped geckos and Helm's butterfly are some of the other rare and endangered species found in these protected areas.
The New Zealand government is now holding a public consultation on whether the conservation status of the area should be downgraded to allow mining to take place. The closing date for submissions is Thursday, 26 May: www.med.govt.nz/Schedule4
ZSL conservationists are now calling for UK residents to support the protection of New Zealand's unique flora and fauna by submitting to the public consultation process.
Notes to editors
Founded in 1826, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is an international scientific, conservation and educational charity: our key role is the conservation of animals and their habitats. The Society runs ZSL London Zoo and ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, carries out scientific research at the Institute of Zoology and is actively involved in field conservation overseas. For further information please visit www.zsl.org
ZSL's EDGE of Existence programme ranks species according to their evolutionary distinctiveness and how globally endangered they are. There is currently an EDGE amphibians and EDGE mammals list. EGDE supports in-country conservationists through the EDGE Fellowship scheme. For further information please visit: http://www.edgeofexistence.org/
For further information on New Zealand frog conservation, visit: http://www.nzfrogs.org/ Archey's frog is currently listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ and Hochstetter's frog is listed as Vulnerable.

I win because of peace. ^_^
I win because of course, everyone goes crazy over such and such and such—we made ourselves a pillar, but we just used it as a crutch; we were certainly uncertain—at least, I'm pretty sure I am—well, we didn't need the water, but we just built that good god dam!
I win because...because...because...WE LOVE YOU!
I win because of confidence and optimism as well as hope.
I win because it rained over the remains of a shooting star, landed directly on our broke-down little car; before that, we had made a wish that we would be missed if one or the other just did not exist—cuz that's what we're waiting for, that's we're waiting for, that's we're waiting on, aren't we?
I win because time heals all wounds. ;)
I win because cheer up, baby, it wasn't really always quite so bad; for every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had.
I win because Im awesome, nothing else needs to be said.

Post A Week: WordPress Project
As someone who likes to torture herself with a million little projects all running at the same time, I'm pretty excited to join the Post A Week Challenge from WordPress. (Check out The Daily Post for more information.)
Basically, this means I'll be posting something weekly on the topic the blog above spits out… and today it's music that makes me cheery when I'm down.
My answer? Slow, melodramatic tunes that build up – a la Interpol.
Specifically Interpol because their music has this calming, drugging effect on my mind & body. I can run to them, I can do yoga to them, I can unwind after work. Really, anything, and I blame the former bassist's skill on that.
Enough on me. What about you?

Great Free Links from Forums with Good PageRank
Monday, June 8, 2009 2:16:56 PM
Firstly, you need to find some vBulletin forums. Head on over to Google and enter the following:
"Powered by vBulletin"
This will bring up a list of good ranking forums. Now I know I've mentioned this a million times before, but I can't stress this enough: RELEVANCY! So let's suppose you're niche is used cars. So we could add the following to narrow our search down:
"Powered by vBulletin" + "used cars"
We should have a shorter but more specific list now. Our first hit is www.carforums.net.
Now what we're looking for here are threads within this forum that have a higher than usual PageRank. To do this you'll need to first install a FireFox add on like SEOQuake or something similar. SEOQuake is great because it offers more than just PageRank.
Now with this installed we can quickly see PageRank alongside our SERPs. So what we're going to do is search within the forum for threads with a high PR and focus on those.
In Google, search through a site by using the "site:" modifier like so:
As we can see, the site has a PR of 3 and if we scoot through the SERPs we can see that the majority of threads have not been assigned PR, but we can also see lots with a PR of 2. Join the forums and comment on these particular threads. Remember to keep it on topic and make it a useful addition to the forum, please don't spam. It's pointless anyway as you'll most likely get removed if you do.
Easy peasy.
Repeat the process for all the forums you can find and all the threads you can add something to. If you've nothing to say, don't bother saying it. Only comment if you can genuinely add to the topic.
I've started working on the SEO plan for James Inside Out Health Magazine website, I'll begin posting tomorrow!
In the meantime, Happy SEOing.

Forget Pakistan. Forget even the US. The country that really fascinates India is China. Long before the international community coined the word 'Chindia' to denote the world's fastest and second fastest growing economies, India had cast an envious eye on China.

Sponsored Ingredient Decoder: Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate
Learn what the words on your product labels really mean. Here, experts explain the science behind sodium cocoyl glycinate, the newest ingredient in Dove ® Body Washes — and why this cleanser is a breakthrough.
By Lori Baird
What It Is: Sodium cocoyl glycinate is an ultra-mild cleanser that was previously only available in luxury skin care products. With the addition of sodium cocoyl glycinate, Dove ® Body Washes are now the mildest body washes on the market.
How It Works: The lathering agent in most cleansers can be harsh on skin. But sodium cocoyl glycinate is unique because it creates a foamy lather and rinses off quickly and easily. That means Dove® Body Wash cares for your skin better — through gentle cleansing and nourishment — than other body washes but still gives you the lather you love.
Why You Should Use It: Only Dove® Body Washes combine the gentle cleansing of sodium cocoyl glycinate with NutriumMoisture® technology. Together, they replenish and maintain skin's protective layer during cleansing to contribute to healthy looking skin.
Where You Can Find It: A star ingredient in many of Dove®'s shower staples, sodium cocoyl glycinate can now be found in many of the brand's body wash lines, including Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash, Sensitive Skin Body Wash, Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash, Winter Care Body Wash, Purely Pampering Coconut Milk with Jasmine Petals Body Wash, Purely Pampering Shea Butter with Warm Vanilla Body Wash, and all Go Fresh® Body Washes.

Sultana at Apple Valley
Site: Apple Valley High School, 7 p.m.
Records: Sultana 4-1, Apple Valley 1-4
Overview: Apple Valley, which finished second in the league last year, figured to be a contender for the league title. The Sun Devils have fallen on hard times, and might be an underdog now, except for the fact that two of their losses, to Kaiser and San Jacinto (teams that are a combined 9-1), were by a total of 11 points. Apple Valley's four losses are by an average of 6.5 points. Apple Valley has had more defensive struggles, with the winning team scoring no more than 21 points in any game. The Sultans' wins are against teams that are 4-15-1, but they are averaging 32.5 points per game.
Garey vs. Montclair
Site: Ganesha High School, 7 p.m.
Records: Garey 3-2, 0-1; Montclair 3-3, 0-2
Overview: After showing some promise with a 3-1 start to the season, Montclair has left itself little room for error courtesy of an 0-2 start to league play. Both teams have lost to Chaffey, making tonight very meaningful for each team if it is to challenge for one of the league's three playoff spots.

Browning to be a Game Time Decision
Posted By ChiefsWarpath.com On October 29, 2005 @ 8:54 am In Latest News | Comments Disabled
[Kansas City.com] Head coach Dick Vermeil said defensive tackle John Browning, who on Friday worked out for the first time this week, would be a game-time decision. Vermeil ruled out defensive back Dexter McCleon from playing Sunday's game. Wide receiver Samie Parker and defensive tackle Ryan Sims also will not play.
The Chargers added wide receiver Reche Caldwell to their injury report. Two significant San Diego starters, linebacker Steve Foley and center Nick Hardwick, didn't practice all week, decreasing their chances of playing Sunday.

'IMF to cut growth outlook'
Business Desk
DHAKA: The International Monetary Fund will reduce its estimate for global growth this year on weakness in investment, jobs and manufacturing in Europe, the US, Brazil, India and China, Managing Director Christine Lagarde said.
'The global growth outlook will be somewhat less than we anticipated just three months ago', Lagarde said in a speech in Tokyo, reports Bloomberg.
'And even that lower projection will depend on the right policy actions being taken.'
The new outlook will be announced in 10 days, after an April estimate of 3.5 per cent, she said.
Interest-rate cuts in China and Europe and the Bank of England`s boost to an asset-purchase program underscored the fragility of the global recovery as austerity measures and debt burdens weigh on advanced nations.
Lagarde is pressing for fiscal union in Europe to aid growth and financial stability as nations such as Greece wrestle with balancing their books.
The 'key emerging markets' of Brazil, China and India are showing signs of slowdown, Lagarde said. Those three countries along with Russia will comprise more than 20 per cent of the world economy this year, according to IMF data.
'Over the past few months, the outlook has regrettably become more worrisome,' Lagarde said. 'Many indicators of economic activity - investment, employment, manufacturing - have deteriorated. And not just in Europe or the United States.'
The IMF has already lowered its US growth estimate to 2 per cent from April's 2.1 per cent.
European Union leaders agreed at a June 28-29 meeting to loosen bailout rules, lay the foundations for a banking union and break the link between sovereign and banking debt through the direct recapitalization of lenders.

Posted by Karmel Melamed
Nearly two years ago 20-something L.A. area Iranian Jewish attorney Sam Yebri made a name for himself by forming the now popular "30 Years After" organization among Southern California's emerging successful young Iranian American Jewish professionals. Today the larger Jewish community in the city has taken noticed of his remarkable efforts as the Iranian Jewish community in L.A. which was once afraid of political activism has now embraced the concept of participating in our democracy. On March 4th the L.A. based Progressive Jewish Alliance (PJA) recognized Yebri with their Young Changemaker award for his efforts in encouraging young Iranian Jews to become socially and politically activity through his group "30 Years After".
While our blog and podcast have been following the activities of "30 Years After" since their formation two years ago, our webcast recently caught up with Yebri for a one-on-one interview about this new honor, his activities with the PJA and where he sees the future of social activism among Iranian American Jews. The following is our webcast interview with Yebri….
Even though a number of younger Iranian Jewish professionals attended the PJA gathering that was honoring Yebri, the organization's left leaning views regarding a whole host of topics including labor unions, gay marriage or immigration may not be all that popular among the generation of older Iranian Jews who tend to be more conservative. Nevertheless, Yebri, who is also among one of the most eligible bachelors in L.A.'s Iranian Jewish community, will most certainly attract attention for the PJA among younger folks in our community. No doubt the Iranian Jewish community has its eyes on Yebri as he continues his community activism and perhaps may even enter the public sector in the not to distant future.

Accredited courses available for students
South African colleges have limited openings available for first-year students. Yet, based on media records last week, applications remain to stream in.
This, obviously, suggests many potential students are going to be shown away; lots of applications are just going nowhere even though the applicants obtained great matric end results.
The Star editorial remarked last week: "The outlook for the class of 2012, our very first ever batch of born-frees, is grim undoubtedly."
Kerry Damons of Boston City Campus and Business College agrees that it is a train knockout that universities do not have sufficient space to fit all those who want to pursue academic studies next year. But she is quick to point out that a train smash is not the end of the train line, so to talk.
"Let us not enable a mindset of desperation to dominate the issue of further study," she claims. "There are various other options besides a standard university qualification - these are worth checking out as they offer skills to graduates and value to employers, simply put, they empower the learner to obtain a job."
As career advice at schools is usually minimal, the most effective way to find out about different study choices and their ins and outs is to get in touch with a skilled occupation adviser, she adds.
As part of its social obligation FET Colleges provide computerised occupation assessment and individualised occupation guidance to potential students at each of the colleges all over the country-- for free and without any commitment to register.
Skills programs - are regarded as one of the most vibrant components of our developing education and training system.
Basically, a skills program is a short course program of study throughout which you complete several modules or subject matters. You compose examinations and evaluations and if you pass them, you receive a certificate explaining that you have completed the skills program.
Skills programs can be completed in as little as 3 weeks or as lengthy as 12 months. They may be done part-time or full-time.
Skills programs are approved and recognised by the Setas (sector education and training authorities).
They are on an equivalent footing with other training programs; some are on graduate degree (NQF Level 6).
Popular options include: assistant bookkeeper, bookkeeper, payroll, cost and management bookkeeping, income tax and business management.
Private colleges and universities - private colleges do not have the same restrictions as state-funded institutions. Private colleges work with the services of extra expert speakers and additional class space must it be needed should suit even more pupils.
The intake or registration of students is spread throughout the year and over a number of campuses, while state establishments are less versatile hereof.
Distance Learning and Online Learning - there are numerous good, accredited programs offered through the internet or through distance-learning organisations, such as Boston City University, Unisa and College SA.
Professional institutes and similar companies - such as the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, the Financial Management Institute of Southern Africa, the Computing Technology Association (CompTIA), Prometric and Pastel supply outside accreditation to the qualifications offered at distance learning colleges. These programs are all approved and many are worldwide recognised.

in response to truthiztruth7:
It is profoundly clear from a study of the founders that they believed in a judeo christian worldview. they saw the Bible as foundational to any objective moral framework. Yes, they promoted a belief in God. They did so imperfectly, and not always cosnsitently.
WHat they did not want was what they had in England, where the king determined how one should worhsip, and what one should believe about God. They did not want a nation where one could be arrested or worse for their faith, which is what was happening to the puritans.
We have had this discussion about force before. Tthere simply is none. There is no law passed by congress which forces you to believe anything you don't. there is no law which activly punishes you for not believing.
Your hypothetical is moot, becuase there is no comparitive.
No group is being singled out favorably by two words in the pledge. The only way this is true isif the govt puts sanctions on you for not saying the pledge.
Saying under hitler or obama would be ridiculous, not offensive. The phrase under God represents the historical and cultural foundation of the nation. It also represents the reality of things, whether one admits it or not.
I agree that the concept of freedom has been warped to mean that anyone can do anything. This is not its intended meaning. It has been divorced from the responsibility and moral foundation on which it is based. Everyone "doing that which is right in their own eyes" will by necessity divide a nation.
The Founders believed in slavery and denying women the vote, too. They also lived before Darwin killed God. It's time you took off the blinders and got into the 21st century. There's no God, no Devil, no Heaven and no Hell. No afterlife, no gazing on the fairy's face for all eternity. And no place for salutes to delusions in our Pledge or on our currency.
