Alzheimer's disease and its associated dementia can be a scary prospect for individuals and families faced with it. Between 2.4 million and 4.5 million Americans suffer from this debilitating, incurable disease, according to the National Institutes of Health. That figure is expected to rise as the baby boomers age.
Community memory screening events are becoming increasingly popular as individuals and their families seek to detect dementia in its earliest stages—before it destroys patients' memories and thinking skills. But many physicians warn against these screenings, which are often ineffective when it comes to detecting dementia, and can leave test-takers feeling scared and powerless.
There are thousands of memory screening tests available, some self-administered online, some given in the community by health care professionals—usually in the form of a questionnaire. The Alzheimer's Foundation of America, the advocacy group that funds National Memory Screening Day, promotes screenings overseen by health care professionals only.
"If someone goes online and does a self test, even if there are two pages of explanation of the results, I'm not sure that people understand what they are reading," says Eric Hall, the foundation's president and founder.
Hall says a health care professional can explain what a negative result on a memory test means and educate the individual and family members on what type of questions to ask the doctor. Most importantly, Hall says, a health care professional is there to emphasize that a negative result on a memory test is not an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis but simply means the individual should to go to a doctor for follow-up tests.
On the other hand, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent panel of government experts that assesses the effectiveness of clinical services, such as memory screenings, has found insufficient evidence to support routine dementia testing in older adults. According to the USPSTF, screenings are only sometimes effective when it comes to detecting the cognitive impairment associated with dementia. And because treatment for Alzheimer's is limited, the task force found no evidence that the quality of life benefits of catching it early with memory screening outweigh the psychological stress of being labeled with an incurable disease.
"We should not screen for a disease we cannot effectively treat. If we could prevent Alzheimer's disease then it would be very important for us to identify people in the earliest stages," says Charles DeCarli, head of the Alzheimer's Disease Center at the University of California, Davis. DeCarli does not screen for dementia, but says he would if there was a therapy that could cure or effectively manage the disease.
Along with the logic of dementia screening, DeCarli and other physicians question the efficacy of memory screening tests themselves. For every seven people that come to DeCarli's office after failing a memory-screening test, only one is diagnosed with dementia. "There are many reasons to fail a screening test," he says. "The person may be nervous, or they could be on a medication that impairs their memory."
Memory screening tests are not good indicators of dementia because they offer only a snapshot of someone's mental abilities, says John Morris, director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. Dementia is characterized by a change in a person's cognitive abilities over time. "If you go to a community center and take a memory test, it doesn't say whether you would have scored better or the same a year ago. Screening doesn't tell us if people are changing," Morris says.

Boycott Ice Mountain Spring Water!
The State of Michigan seems intent on letting a private company pump, bottle, and sell our water, but we don\'t have to buy it. But we must not forget that as consumers, we--not Perrier--ultimately hold the trump card. Join the boycott of Ice Mountain today.
SWEETWATER ALLIANCE. We are a coalition of citizens, evironmentalists, and activists dedicated to the defense and liberation of essential resources from corporate control. It is our belief that the rights of people, wildlife, and all living things to water and other shared resources are universal rights that can never be compromised for the benefit of a few.

Applied Humanities Examined in January 17 Talk by Peter Tokofsky
Applied Humanities Examined in January 17 Talk by Peter Tokofsky
Dr. Peter Tokofsky, from the J. Paul Getty Museum, will speak on "Applied Humanities: Revisiting the Divide" on Thursday, January 17, at 4 p.m. in Knight Library's Browsing Room.
Economic and employment realities are prompting some leading humanities programs to reconsider the training of graduate students with a goal of preparing them for a variety of employment options in applied humanities fields, such as museums. The debate between "pure" humanities and "life beyond the tenure track" has dominated discussions at recent meetings of the Modern Language Association and the American Historical Association, and within various other fields.
In this talk, Peter Tokofsky revisits debates over distinctions between the two spheres, which played out in disciplines such as folklore studies and art history in the 1980s and 1990s, and he reflects on current arguments from the perspective of someone whose own career straddles the academic and applied humanities divide.
Peter Tokofsky directs academic programs and the public speaker series at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Tokofsky is also adjunct associate professor of Germanic languages at the University of California, Los Angeles, and has published extensively on the history of folklore studies and carnival celebrations in German-speaking Europe. He directs UCLA's summer travel study program to Vienna, Munich, and Berlin.
The talk is presented by the UO Folklore Program and sponsored by the Oregon Humanities Center, College of Arts and Sciences, Office of Academic Affairs, UO Libraries, Comparative Literature Program, Department of the History of Art and Architecture, Humanities Program, Department of History, Arts and Administration Program, and Department of English.

First post in this group, even if I'm subscribed since a few months As other people indicated, personally I use Matlab mainly becasue a lot of toolboxes are missing or incomplete in Octave. It is a considerable effort to migrate your code. I tried once, but I have too much code and the missing parts were too many so I gave up. And there is also the IDE. I know that some people hate it and some other like it. In my CentOS 5 box, r2007a runs flawlessly and for the debugging the IDE is pretty convenient. But it is really a matter of preference. I also use Matlab compiled programs in our small 10 nodes cluster. Since they are compiled, you don't need any license per node, you just need to deploy in the nodes the required distribution files. I'm using the wrapping of LAM/MPI done by Javier Fernndez (MPTIB) and I couldn't been even more happy. Matlab deals with all the formatting, saving, and main flow, and each node runs internally mainly compiled C mex files. I could move on to the version of Javier of Octave of MPTIB, but again, I would still go back to Matlab for some specific functions not yet available in Octave. Anyways, Octave has also some amazing displaying facilities when linked to VTK with Octaviz. But the big missing part is the support for non-triangle patches.

text: Stronger Measures Needed to Contain Marburg Fever in AngolaApril 17, 2005Marburg Fever continues to spread in the Angolan province of Uige. As of April 17, the official death toll stood at 235 among 257 reported cases. The virus was confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 22 after extensive biological testing, and since then, 136 new cases have been identified, with 129 proving fatal. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams have set forth emergency measures in order to contain the epidemic, but so far these measures have failed to stop the epidemic from spreading. While the epicenter of the outbreak is in Uige, new areas of contamination emerged last week: In Songo, one hour west of Uige, four cases were reported, while in Negage and Camabatela, thirty minutes southwest of Uige, the three cases were reported. Fighting a Deadly Disease and a Complex EpidemicMarburg Fever – from the same family as the Ebola virus – is a deadly and contagious disease. Eradicating it will require a rigorous, multi-level strategy. Because Marburg Fever can be transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids, it is imperative that isolation units be set up to treat those who are affected. No specific treatment exists, but measures like re-hydration, medicine to prevent vomiting, and the administration of pain medication are essential to the patient's comfort and possible survival. Since the beginning of the crisis, MSF teams have set up two isolation and treatment units: one in Uige Hospital and one in Amerigo Boavida Hospital in the capital, Luanda. Already, 23 patients have been admitted to the center in Uige. Isolation units are also being set up in Negage and in Songo, while a unit in Camabatela is already in place. Informing the PopulationTo limit the spread of infection, efforts must be made to identify and assess suspected cases, as well as to locate any people who may have come into contact with those affected by the virus. Nearly 500 contacts have already been counted in Angola – 360 of those in Uige alone. Strict sanitary procedures must also be adhered to when burying victims of the Marburg virus – whether they have died at the hospital or at home. Protective clothing such as gloves, gowns, masks, goggles, and boots are essential. Special vehicles must also be provided to locate suspected cases, to transport patients, and to transport the deceased. MSF volunteers are training Angolan medical and military personnel on the strictest sanitary precautions in order to guarantee their own safety in the event of contact with victims. This effort, however, must be intensified. If these measures are to succeed, they must be supported by policies aimed at informing people in the most affected areas. So far, too little has been done to raise awareness, and in a climate of fear, MSF teams and WHO personnel have been met by hostile reactions during their visits to the areas of Cadongo and KimaKongo in Uige. Because combating the outbreak means isolating patients and burying the victims in body bags, people often see medical personnel as "confiscating" the sick and the dead. The high mortality rate of patients admitted to the isolation units (only two have survived more than 24 hours) has also generated a culture of suspicion among the local populace. As a result, many people are reluctant or simply refuse to hand over the sick and the dead to medical teams, preferring instead to keep them at home which creates a potential for future contamination. By informing the population and alleviating the panic, those showing early signs of the virus may be hospitalized sooner – a move that could help better serve patients' needs. Reorganizing the HospitalsIn areas affected by the virus, hospitals must be completely reorganized to avoid any risk of infection. This can occur when the virus is spread within the hospital itself. The entire hospital must be disinfected and an isolation ward must be created. Triage of patients must be stepped up in order to isolate suspected cases and to also prevent those infected by the virus from coming into contact with patients suffering from other illnesses. These precautionary measures must be applied throughout the hospital. This involves not only the wearing of safety equipment but also the suspension of all invasive procedures (surgical operations, lab inspections, intravenous and intramuscular injections, etc.) except for lifesaving operations like emergency surgery or caesarian sections. An Inadequate ReactionUp until now, MSF efforts as well as those at both the national and international level remain largely inadequate given the gravity of the situation. It is crucial that the Angolan authorities recognize the magnitude of the epidemic. Without proper treatment of patients and protection of the population, Marburg Fever will continue to spread throughout Angola. |

With summer approaching fast and the schools closed for a few weeks this September, boredom is bound to set in if your kids are cooped up inside. Why not spend some time rediscovering the fun side of Cape Town with your family.
If you have no idea where to begin, here are a few options to get you started:
Football fever hits Strand Beach
Strand Beach, situated at the foot of the Hottentots Holland mountain range on the False Bay Coast, recently played host to a beach soccer tournament, held as part of Cape Town Tourism's Strand Jetty Office Tourism Activation Month activities.
Twenty very enthusiastic learners from Hendrik Louw Primary School turned out to display their soccer talent on Monday, September 21, and young and old gathered to watch the scholars battle it out on the beautiful, sandy beach.
With the breathtaking view of Table Mountain and summery weather, we couldn't have asked for a better day for the event.
Kalk Bay harbour by night – Flickr pic of the day
This unusual image of Kalk Bay harbour before sunrise was taken by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member Leon Oosthuizen.
Leon says, "This is typically Cape Town to me – the way that there is slow, steady movement. For a guy from Port Elizabeth, these boats are like Capetonians and the Cape lifestyle – easygoing, but securely nestled between a rock and a hard place! Much like the choice of lifestyle over the allure of a bigger income in Gauteng.
And the Loerie goes to… Final Loeries Prizegiving, Cape Town, 2009
The final Loeries Award winners were announced at the electronic awards ceremony hosted by the SABC at the Good Hope Centre in Cape Town last night.
Loeries delegates were treated to performances by Goldfish and Lira, and to the antics of comedian John Vlismas,who hosted the evening. Premier of the Western Cape Helen Zille also made an appearance, telling the audience that once they've partied in Long Street, they'll never want to hold the Loeries anywhere else but in the Mother City.

Ads24 Loeries Awards ceremony boosts egos in print advertising
The Loeries Print Awards ceremony, hosted by ads24, lived up to all the considerably high expectations at the Good Hope Centre in Cape Town yesterday evening, as the year's best creative work in South Africa was celebrated in style.
Widely regarded as the Oscars of the advertising industry, a Loerie Award is the biggest pat on the back that an overworked, under-appreciated young creative could dream of. And this year's winners – whether they admit to it or not – will look at themselves in the mirror tonight and say, "I've made it. This is me hitting the big time. Tonight, I am a god." (All that stuff about the huge creative ego is a myth – obviously)

On September 24, music lovers can enjoy opera and classical music by The Tenors at the V&A Waterfront's Amphitheatre, in Cape Town.
The Tenors consists of Gugulethu vocalists Mpendulo Yawa, Siyabulela Gqola, Xolani November and Loyiso Dlova, talented locals who enjoy a wide variety of music, including kwaito and hip-hop, but say that not much moves them the way classical and choral music do.

I don't believe in God. The inclusion of a nod to your sky fairy in the Pledge is against the principles of this citizen and war veteran. So your letter has no standing. If your God is so powerful, why do you believers have to keep bringing him up in public? Is he weak, or is your faith weak? You're not going to Hell because Hell doesn't exist. Get off your high unicorn and leave the rest of us alone.
But if you want to stand on American traditional religious beliefs, check your history books. There were people here before the Europeans; they had cultures, governments -- and religions. You great Christians tried to exterminate them. We non-believers won't be as easily dealt with. If you're so afraid of death, wear a big cross and mumble "Under God" every time you recite the Pledge. Your Bronze Age delusion has no place in 21st Century America.
Why is it that you never address Muslims only Christians? Afraid too. hmmmmm bet you are.

Vermont Yak Company
Stuck in Vermont 191
By Eva Sollberger [09.08.10]
8/26/10: Gazing out at a hillside dotted with hulking, furry yaks, it is hard to believe we are still in Vermont.
The three families that formed the Vermont Yak Company have been learning the ancient Tibetan art of yak farming since 2008.
Eva tastes a strip steak to see what the yak-et is all about.
Yakety yak, don't talk back!

select [rules-identifier rules-definition] [ do [when [ value | condition-identifier inline-rules-definition] to [route-name | service-name] ]* [else to route-name] end ] where: rules-identifier - provides the semantic information required for rules processing rules-definition - the rules, syntax depends on the rules-identifier. rules-identifier = xpath | regex | header | any condition-identifier = xpath | regex | header rules-definition = external identifier | inline-rules-definition inline-rules-definition = ( configuration-string )
Rules come in two flavors: value based or condition based. A value based rule returns a value that is than matched for equality in a value based when clause. A condition based rule is evaluated as a boolean expression as part of a condition based when clause. Value and condition based when clause flavors can't be mixed in the same select statement. By default, the first matching when clause is selected and its route triggered. An (optional) else statement at the end can be used to execute a default route if none of the when conditions are satisfied. A select with only a else statement is legal and can be used as a catch-all when dynamic updates to the rule set is used.
There exists one configuration parameter: match=first|last|unique. Default value is first. In this case the first condition based rule that matches will trigger. If set to last, the last condition based rule that matches will trigger. If set to unique, the condition based rule matching will trigger only if a single rule is found to match. Otherwise, if multiple rules match, or no rules match, the else clause will be selected.
email "exception-service" route do from "inbound" select xpath ("/Transaction/Type") do when "CASH" to "cash-route" when "CREDIT" to "credit-route" when "DEBIT" to "debit-route" else to "exception-service" endValue base: values converted to String for comparision
email "other-service" route do from "inbound" select xpath ("/Transaction/Class='Special'") do when "true" to "special-route" when "false" to "other-service" else to "other-transaction" end
route do from "inbound" select xpath "my-select" do when xpath ("/Transaction/Type='CASH'") to "cash-route" when xpath ("/Transacton/Amount>5000") to "large-amount" when xpath ("/Transaction/Profile='Special'") to "special-handling" else to "other-transaction" endCondition based: dynamic rules
route do from "inbound" select "dynamic-type-selection" do else to "other-transaction" endCondition based: multiple rules types. Any is the default type when not specified in the select statement.
route do from "inbound" select do when xpath ("/Transaction/Type='CASH'") to "cash-route" when regex ("Text-") to "non-xml-handling" when header ("nm.prop=special.property") to "special-handling" else to "other-transaction" end
Sample IFL:
select header ("nm.attachment=MyAttachment,exp=(\w/\w);.*") when "text/xml" to "xml-reader" when "application/octet-stream" to "binary-reader" else "unsupported-attachment-type"If the attachment content type is "text/xml;ISO-8859-1", "text/xml" is returned.
Another useful feature is a new property that controls the selection policy. By default, the selection policy is first match. Also, rules can be grouped and ordered within groups to control the evaluation order. The selection policy can be changed to either last match or unique match. When last match is used, the last matching rule triggers, or the else if there is no match. When unique match is used, a rule triggers only if it is the only rule that matches. In the case of multiple matches, the else clause will be selected if it exists. Otherwise, an error is returned.
Example of match property:
select any ("match=unique") do when xpath "/Value=5" to "service-a" when xpath "/Time=now" to "service=b" else to "service-c" endIf Value==5 and Time==now then the else clause will be triggered. If, in the above case, match is set to first then "service-a" would be invoked, and if match is set to last then "service-b" would be invoked.
route do from "in" select any "named-select" do when xpath ("/Trade/Type='CASH'") to "route-cash" when xpath ("/Trade/Amount>600000") to "route-big" else to "route-cash" end endLets walk through the basic CLI commands.

Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga won't be getting married this year. The star's reps have officially shot down recent rumors that she and boyfriend actor Taylor Kinney are in the process of planning a wedding.
"The Star" is reporting that the couple is looking to tie the knot in Taylor's hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The tabloid's source is a supposed resident of Lancaster, who claims that Taylor and Gaga have visited several times and that "the whole town is on pins and needles" at the idea of a major celebrity wedding happening there. Gaga's reps are telling "Gossip Cop" that the report is "false." Meantime, the star is gearing up for the release of her new album, ARTPOP. Its lead single "Applause" drops on August 19th, and she'll perform it live for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Pike Place Chowder After Closing
While wandering around Pike Place in bone chilling weather, a friend and I came across Pike Place Chowder. It sounded delicious and warm, but it was closed... So in the meantime I grabbed this outside-looking-in shot of this colorful and Santa-ready diner. I hear they have quite the chowder--even claiming 2nd place in the country's largest and longest-running chowder championships, the Great Chowder Cook-Off.

Nakaya T, Suzuki T. Role of APP phosphorylation in FE65-dependent gene transactivation mediated by AICD. Genes Cells. 2006 Jun;11(6):633-45. PubMed Abstract
Fe65 binds with APP cytoplasmic domain, and this association is shown to modulate cell migration and activate gene transcription. Extending their earlier observations that phosphorylation of APP at T668 inhibited its binding to Fe65, Suzuki's group used a pT668-specific antibody to show that both APP and AICD are phosphorylated in vivo in mouse brain. Both phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of AICD were present in the membrane, whereas the nuclear AICD was mostly non-phosphorylated, suggesting that AICD phosphorylation was not needed for nuclear entry. Indeed, transgenic mice expressing T668A mutant APP also showed AICD to be present in the nucleus. It is not known whether T668A AICD is transcriptionally active since they did not directly measure the transcriptional activity of T668A-AICD. Also, coexpression of Fe65 with APP caused Fe65 to associate with the membrane, and phosphorylation of APP with JNK disrupted the binding, confirming that phosphorylation at T668 inhibits the APP-Fe65 interaction. Interestingly, coexpression of APP with Fe65 inhibited AICD-Fe65 mediated transcriptional activation (presumably by recruiting Fe65 to membrane and preventing its entry into the nucleus), whereas T668A-APP failed to inhibit the transcriptional activity.
By contrast, the paper by Chang et al. concludes that phosphorylation of AICD is needed for its binding to Fe65. They expressed various GFP-AICD fusion proteins in NGF-differentiated PC12 cells and observed that wild-type AICD-GFP was present in the nucleus, but mutant AICD-GFP expressing T668A or lacking the Fe65 binding motif EYNPTY were absent from the nucleus. One way to reconcile these differences is to remember that the AICD produced in vivo is only 6 kDa in size and therefore small enough to pass through the nuclear pore, while GFP-AICD (~35 kDa) is not. Thus, it is unlikely that phosphorylation of AICD is required in vivo to facilitate its entry into the nucleus. Another apparent discrepancy is that Chang et al. conclude that T668 phosphorylation is required for Fe65 binding. This conclusion is based on the observation that wild-type AICD-EGFP showed FRET with Fe65 (suggesting a close interaction between the two proteins) whereas T668A-AICD-EGFP, which cannot be phosphorylated, did not show FRET. They interpret these results to suggest that phosphorylation at T668 is essential for interaction with Fe65. However, in the absence of direct evidence that phosphorylation at T668 is essential for Fe65 binding, a more likely interpretation of their finding is that the T668A mutation alters the conformation of APP-CTF and precludes its binding to Fe65.
An important aspect of the Chang et al. study is that it confirms an earlier observation of increased T668-phosphorylation in human AD brains (Lee et al., 2003) and demonstrates the same to be true for Tg2576 animal model of AD. While the relationship between increased APP phosphorylation and AD brain pathology is causal or correlative remains to determined, it is becoming clear that T668 phosphorylation significantly alters APP metabolism by dissociating Fe65 or recruiting Pin1 (Pastorino et al., 2006) or both. Future studies will establish the significance of APP phosphorylation in AD pathology. However, if conflicting reports and contradictory conclusions (as exemplified by Aβ peptides) are a sign of coming of age, then these two papers may be an indication that APP cytoplasmic domain has arrived!

As described in Dr. Pimplikar's comments, we generated Thr668Ala and Thr668Asp mutant mice (which, incidentally, are not transgenic as he suggests). The mutant mice were generated by a standard gene knock-in method. Some of our research findings, including the knock-in effects on APP metabolism, including Aβ generation, will be presented at ICAD conference in Madrid, symposium session S5-02, morning of July 20.

New chemistry programme will attract more students
KTH is to start a new Master of Engineering programme in order to attract more young people to study chemistry. The education is more clearly linked to employment market's needs and will take better care of the students on the programme. If everything goes according to plan, the new chemistry programme will start next year.
After several years with low application rates and low student throughput, the School of Chemistry has conducted a complete renovation of the engineering programme in chemical sciences.
"We disassembled the entire programme and started from scratch when we built the new one," says Susanna Wold, responsible for first-level courses at the School of Chemistry.
According to Susanna Wold, the result has been a programme that offers students both a deeper and more diverse understanding of the subject area, and which offers a clearer link between the courses and, not least, is better suited to a dynamic employment market.
Future chemistry students at KTH can choose between three tracks: research, innovation and language. The research track is the traditional approach where students are trained to become specialists in the field of chemistry. Compared with the current chemistry programme, it will offer more in-depth studies, among other things; students will be able to study Masters courses a year earlier.
The innovation track leads to a broadening of skills and includes knowledge of economics, leadership and entrepreneurship. The language track provides special skills for an international employment market.
"There is a greater diversity in the employment market today that we must meet. Large companies still need specialised professionals, but the many new small businesses have other requirements. They often want generalists with complementary skills in technology, in other words, a kind of scientist with good social skills. Our educational programme will attempt to meet as many needs as possible," says Susanna Wold.
The students' social needs
Along with the other makers of educational programmes, she has designed a chemistry programme which also attaches great importance to students' social needs. It centres around making the students feel motivated by their studies, through an understanding of the role the chemist plays.
All students study a so-called perspective course during the first two years of their education. In groups of 4-5 students, they participate in a research group at the department and solve realistic problems in the laboratory.
"They are real assignments which the research group faces in its ongoing research. The students gain an understanding of the complex issues they will face in the future, and how many different areas of knowledge the profession comprises. It should, among other things, motivate them to study mathematics and physics. Working with research groups also reduces the feeling of anonymity which could easily arise for new students," says Susanna Wold.
"Very early on during the programme they meet with teachers and researchers in a natural context. From the student's point of view, it helps to build up an identity. They get to work with a supervisor who caters to their needs and monitors their progress during the first two years."
Susanna Wold says that the engineering courses in general are facing a paradigm shift, which means that they have to be more student-oriented than before.
"Students must understand the context of their education, and if they have no link with the employment market they lose interest and quit," she says.
"In the new programme it becomes clear to the students what they need to know as a graduate engineer and what they will learn during the programme. We have made visible the relationship between the courses and we are connecting the theoretical and applied aspects of the courses in a more natural manner than in the past."
New name liked by secondary school students
The name of the new educational programme is still not entirely finalised. Two options have been chiselled out after having tested them in the relevant target groups; they are "Technical chemistry with innovation and research" and "Molecular engineering with innovation and research".
"In the spring, the names shall be further tested in studies with selected groups of secondary school students. The most important thing is that secondary school students become attracted by the name and that it is credible," Susanna Wold emphasises.
"We need to be able to live up to the programme's name when the new students have actually arrived."
When all decisions have been taken, there remains intense promotional work to make the new educational programme known.
"If you already have a good reputation, then the marketing almost takes care of itself. But if you have fallen behind, as we have, it takes considerably more communicative efforts to come back. But I think and hope that we will soon be back again."
The decision to launch the new chemistry programme will be taken by KTH's board in June.

Sorry for the late posting, but there isn't much one can do when it's the offseason and your football writer becomes a high school girls basketball writer.
Had the pleasure of watching the Brockton girls top Attleboro, 66-40, in tournament play on Monday night, by the way.
Anyway, as by Sports Illustrated's Peter King, Tom Brady has agreed to a contract extension that will pay him $27 million – $3 million in the form of a signing bonus he'll cash in on immediately plus annual salaries of $7 million in 2015, $8 million in 2016 and $9 million in 2017 when he'll reach the golden age of 40.
Lots more on this in Tuesday's print editions.
Safe to say, it's a team-friendly deal that helps the Patriots with the salary cap.
Glen Farley has covered sports for The Enterprise since 1978. His time on the Patriots beat dates back to the final year of the Raymond Berry regime, 1989. You could say his roots lie in Foxboro. He once won an award for a piece he wrote on the sod at Gillette Stadium.

Yeah that that now I was never got -- That doesn't -- -- -- show what I feel like cheaper guys just decided to give a nice car nice scarf instead of including.
Was reading about that in the modern -- magazine yes it and I think that's -- -- he can relied -- magazine I don't look I have that I -- think it's it's and that this is what I think it's good that we get away from these protests over done weddings because it's so much emphasis on the wedding and none on the marriage yet he has no surprise that.
That money on a down payment on -- house.
That's and he should be doing by way of Barrett is a beautiful thing weddings not so beautiful because if you get divorced all -- but it goes -- what billion buried snapping turtle in ninety cent.

i'm breaking my absence on tumblr to share something important with you. my boyfriend is friends with someone on google+ who needs your help gaining signatures on a petition, and i know tumblr is just the place for that.
Maya Posch has been fighting for recognition as intersex in the Netherlands for nearly seven years. She has encountered hostility and apathy from doctors, psychologists and politicians who have ignored her, or worse. Her story is described at www.mayaposch.com She is currently seeking refuge outside the Netherlands where she'll be safe.
The human rights of intersex people worldwide are often ignored because they don't fit into standard social and medical models. Although at least one in every thousand people is born intersex, many countries do not acknowledge their existence. It is common for intersex children to be operated on when they are too young to consent, just to change the way they look. This can cause lasting health problems. In adult life, intersex people often find medical support unavailable and keep their circumstances secret out of fear that their lives will be ruined by others' prejudice.
We ask that the United Nations take action to ensure that the human rights of intersex people are upheld and that they are shown the same support and respect as anyone else. Intersex people must be protected from discrimination and from unwanted surgery. Provision must be made for them to receive medical support where needed without insurance penalties.
People like Maya depend on your support. Please support this petition, tell your friends about it, and help to create a fairer society.
please sign & reblog!
