Things for the Little Things - Try it Tuesdays
Lipitor Cost, Several months ago, Calvin brought home an I.O.U. Lipitor coupon, lunch note:
My first thought was, "What have you been eating!?" Second thought was, buy Lipitor online cod, Online buy Lipitor without a prescription, "I can't believe the school would let a kid buy things they can't afford!" I only give him $2.25 a day for the most basic school lunch. Then came the question, buy no prescription Lipitor online, Buy Lipitor no prescription, "Now Calvin, just how many Doritos have you bought?"
Anyway, what is Lipitor, Lipitor dose, poor Calvin had no idea what was going on. So I called the school and found out that the lunch lady had forgotten a decimal point, Lipitor blogs. Purchase Lipitor online, Really. Kind of an important little detail don't you think, Lipitor Cost. Sigh, Lipitor no prescription. My Lipitor experience, So yes, he only owed $0.25, Lipitor from canada. Buy Lipitor without a prescription, Apparently, his quarter had fallen out of his wallet that he then promptly lost, Lipitor use. Where can i find Lipitor online, So I made him a little origami wallet out of an old atlas page:
with a little paperclip to keep his quarter in place:
And then I proceeded to go off on a tangent and fold some paper atlas airplanes for his room:
Decimal points and quarters aren't the only little things we've been losing lately; Calvin's lost his ability to to make a proper "th" sound which resulted in me making a little tooth pillow to help him with recovering lost lunch quarters:
I forgot to sew on the very important tooth pocket so ended up using fabric glue. Lipitor Cost, If you plan on making this for your little one, sew the very important little pocket on first before anything else.
Click here to download my tooth pillow pattern in PDF.
I patch-worked my fabric before tracing the pattern and cutting it out.
Speaking of little things, I have a little dilemma: I've noticed a very faint shadow of a mustache appearing above Calvin's lips...
It's hard to see it in this picture. But trust me, Lipitor Cost. It's there.
Should I do something about it. To see if he's noticed it or if other children at school have pointed it out, I said, "Hey Calvin. I think you might have a mustache!" [insert big concern-free smile]. To which he replied after licking his lips, "Is it gone now?" Maybe he though I meant a milk mustache... So anyway, the dilemma remains - to "undorkify or not"...

Misner & Smith
[My-zner and Smith]
Original • Acoustic • Americana
"Misner & Smith are a gem of a musical pairing, offering a refreshing take on contemporary folk music. Their lovely harmonies and perfectly blended voices fit within classic American tradition, and their songwriting and storytelling transport the listener to a world of their creation. That is the hallmark of any folk singer worth his or her salt, but Misner & Smith have a truly unique quality in the chemistry of their duets that set them apart from the field. Perhaps it's a shared appreciation and connection to the musical history of their Bay Area home, or maybe it's simply fate that brought these two artists together, but whatever the impetus for their musical journey we are unquestionably all the better for it.
Misner & Smith's thoughtful songwriting harkens back to the glory days of folk songwriters like Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, even Crosby, Stills and Nash. With a timeless San Francisco sound and poetic songwriting, they are a duo that blend roots and folk at the cutting edge of contemporary acoustic music. Capable on their instruments, and even more so with their vocals, Misner & Smith are an act not to be missed in an intimate live setting."
-- Gabriel Marowitz Hearth Music
Misner & Smith began their musical collaboration after working together as actors on a production of the musical Woody Guthrie's American Song and immediately recognized a mutual love of Americana music, particularly focused on vocal harmonies. Since then, the two have been touring regularly and have built a steady and loyal following. They have performed on the main stages at both the San Francisco and El Cerrito Folk Festivals, and recently headlined at Berkeley's famed acoustic venue, the Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse.
In a recent review of the duo's second album Poor Player, Paul Liberatore of the Marin Independent Journal called Sam "one of the most promising songwriters I've heard in quite some time." Hicks With Sticks Magazine described Misner & Smith as "a Bay Area treasure to be shared…with a touch for taking simple ideas and infusing them with unexpected meaning, metaphor and imagery."
Balancing their careers as actors and musicians is no easy task, but the two have found the art of storytelling to be one of the common threads running through both forms. Characters of various types inhabit their songs. Some are fictional, some are autobiographical, and some are even historical, as in the tune "Triangle Factory Fire". Based on the true story of the infamous fire at the Triangle Waistcoat Factory in New York City in 1911, the song combines researched facts and invention to retell the tragic story from a first-person perspective.
Crafting original songs rich in meaning and texture, the duo's sound is centered around unique vocal harmonies and evocative lyrics, and in 2007, "Madeline (Paradise Cracked)" won the West Coast Songwriters Association's Song of the Year competition. The title track of their most recent release "Poor Player" (2008) was nominated in the New Folk category in one of the world's largest international song contests put on by the Just Plain Folks music organization. It is the combination of strong songwriting and vocal delivery that drove RARwriter.com to declare "this is truly inspired vocalizing, this is 'shivers up the spine' singing!

Students and teachers at Rockwood elementary wore pink Wednesday in honor of fourth-grade teacher Christy Hay's treatment for breast cancer.
"Every year the teachers pay $5 to wear a breast cancer pin," Hay said. "When they picked the day this year they didn't know, because I didn't know, it would be a celebration because today is my last day of radiation. It really meant a lot to me that they did it today."
Rockwood elementary Principal Jonathan Hale said the wear pink day was organized to show support for all community members who have had cancer. It was just very timely that Hay finished her radiation oncology on Wednesday.
"Our students definitely showed their support for their families, the staff and other members of the community by wearing pink," he said. "They showed their support for the cause."
Hay had been having regular mammograms. She had a negative mammogram in 2009, followed by a biopsy in 2010. That tumor was benign. After she had a mammogram in June she had to have a second biopsy. The cancer diagnosis was made on July 31. She had ductal carcinoma, the most common type of breast cancer, which forms in the lining of a milk duct. Hay had a lumpectomy followed by 33 radiation treatments. She did not have to have chemotherapy, but will receive another mammogram in three months.
"When Dr. (Dianna) Craig (Windber) came out of my surgery, she told my husband that it's not good to have any cancer, but ductal carcinoma was the best breast cancer to have," Hay said.
She felt fine after the first month of treatments, but two weeks ago had a reaction like a brush burn and sharp pains that took away her breath. This week the area that appeared to be burned is peeling. But she considers herself lucky. The only other side effect she has is tiredness.
"Because of early detection, I had a good outcome," she said. "It's important that women get mammograms."
Lori Walker, her sister, had never had a mammogram because she didn't have insurance. After Hay's diagnosis, they found an organization that paid for Walker's mammogram, except for a $10 copay.
The 49-year-old Hay is married to Jeff Hay. They have a son, Andy, 12, and attend First Christian Church.
"I thank the school for allowing me to go for treatments over my lunch and prep periods," she said. "I thank everybody for their prayers and cards, my school family and my church family. Everyone was so helpful. You never know how much you are loved until something like this happens."

Hi Folks,
I meant to let you all know much earlier (but forgot) that you can now keep up to date with whats happening in our wee corner of Scotland by looking at our Newsletters, on our web. It's a quarterly newsletter issued to members and then put on pdf at a later stage.
A few interesting articles and music (all sytles)... I particularly like Nigel Gatherers piece on "what is Celtic Music", a question that's come up on the cafe a few times... so I asked him to tell us (if anyone has a clue... it's Nigel).
Also a wee series on mandolin history written by myself, (probably a lot of facts wrong!), with a bit of help from Paul Sparks and the kind permission of Alex Timmermann allowing me to use his embergher pics (the #Embergher Web is really an outstanding piece of work, don't you think? well done Alex!... that together with Ralf and Barrie's Embergher Book book really gives a full and comprehensive history)
Next issue will have an article on buying bowlbacks I hope you enjoy!
Best wishes to you all.

Using StructureMap Inject To Avoid External Dependencies In Integration Tests
Posted over 2 years ago on July 16, 2011
At the end of last week I wrote a class to manage sending e-mail from our application. This class (called it EmailProcessingManager) had all the usual suspects:
- Get a list of to, cc, bcc, from and reply to email addresses
- Find a template
- Replace tokens in said template with values from the database
- Send the email(s)
Wound up making a class for each one of these separate duties and wrote tests for each. But to seal it all together, I wanted to write an integration test that would test the whole operation of sending an email. This test would hit the database, pull in the actual HTML template, replace token values, etc. But what about the actual sending of email? I didn't want to go to the trouble of trying to figure out how to hit a pop email inbox and reading in the email...there had to be an easier way!
ObjectFactory.Inject() to the rescue!
The problem I had was that I wanted to use the entire EmailProcessingManager class as it would be used in production, except I didn't want the mail to actually go out. I wanted all the classes' dependencies to be real implementations except for the class that actually spun up the SMTP client class to send the mail. That's when I found the Inject method.
(Using Moq in this example)
<TestFixtureSetUp()> Public Sub Setup() _mailSenderMock = New Mock(Of IEmailSender) _mailSenderMock.Setup(Function(mock) mock.SendEmail(It.IsAny(Of List(Of MailMessage)))) _ .Callback(Sub(messages) _emailsThatWouldHaveBeenSent = messages) 'Inject the mocked object instead of using the production code StructureMap.ObjectFactory.Inject(Of IEmailSender)(_mailSenderMock.Object) 'Get an instance of the class under test _emailProcessingManager = StructureMap.ObjectFactory.GetInstance(Of IEmailProcessingManager)() Dim recipientList = New List(Of String) From {"email@example.com"} _emailProcessingManager.ProcessEmailRequest(EmailType.Registration, recipientList) End Sub <Test()> Public Sub Can_create_a_request_for_an_authorization_email_and_have_it_sent_to_the_recipient() _emailsThatWouldHaveBeenSent.First(Function(email) email.To.First().Address = "firstname.lastname@example.com").ShouldNotBeNull() End Sub
All of the value of an integration test, but none of the pain of dealing with an external dependency. I like it.
Now that I've discovered this, I have other ideas for it's use. One situation that comes to mind is an integration test that saves a complex object graph to the database. Those tests are always hard to clean up after, so instead of saving the object I'll just use a mock to retrieve the passed object and do my asserts. No messy cleanup!

Chief executive quits Valley
11:21am Tuesday 7th August 2012 in Sport
CHARLTON'S summer of upheaval behind the scenes continued this morning with the confirmation Steve Kavanagh had left his role as chief executive.
Kavanagh's departure from the board was revealed late last month but it was made clear then he would continue on as chief executive.
However, chairman Michael Slater told the club's official website Kavanagh had now severed all connections with the Addicks.
He said: "After we announced on July 26 that Steve had tendered his resignation as a member of the board of directors but that his employment as chief executive would continue, I received formal notice from him which terminated his employment.
"Change is inevitable in the management of any business and football is no different.
"Tony Jimenez, Richard Murray and I are looking forward to working with incoming executive vice-chairman Martin Prothero, and have complete confidence that the executive and senior management team that he puts together will continue to build on the great progress we have made both on and off the pitch over the past year and half."
Today's latest announcement comes on the back of the earlier departures of Peter Varney and Alex Newall from the club's board, with Jimenez also increasing his own share in the club considerably over the close season.

Chong Nee has produced so many #1 hits for other people that its only natural for him to now step out into the limelight with the next level of NZ produced hip hop and soul influenced RnB.
Johns first track 'Thin Line' has rocketed up the MedianStrip NZ charts thanks to inclusion on the Indie hit disk, peaked at #9 and has been in the MedianStrip NZ top 20 for 2 months and #2 on the Urban charts and received a significant airplay grant. The video for 'Thin Line' - directed by Sophie Findlay (Savage, Adeaze etc) is also currently doing the rounds on music television.
The Second single 'Scenarios' is released to radio late October backed up by the Martha Jefferies directed video. Look out soon also for the physical single with remixes and some tracks from other new artists being developed by our production team.
His recent selection as support for RnB legends Boyz II Men resulted in a huge response from the audience and industry and is beginning of what is to big a busy upcoming touring schedule about the country.
Chong Nee's album is currently in production up @ Kog Studios where he is working with Chris Chetland and Dave Baxter and a host of local music talent. Scheduled for release next year it will deliver what is sure to be a defining moment in New Zealand RnB music and production.
There are currently no comments for this artist.

This isn't it for MobileCon. All though this year's event in San Diego will be the last time MobileCon stands on its own, CTIA's IT-focused show will still maintain its separate identity when it's folded into the organization's big Super Mobility Week next September in Las Vegas. With the list of 5,000 to 8,000 speakers, exhibitors and attendees finalized, Wireless Week spoke with CTIA vice president of operations Rob Mesirow about the transition from two shows to one really big one.
Wireless Week: What can we expect from the final standalone MobileCon?
Rob Mesirow: The final standalone MobileCon is really important because it's vital that we continue to educate, push and cooperate with these IT professionals that are at the frontlines trying to implement mobile solutions inside of large, mid-sized and small companies. This is important to the wireless industry, it's important to the new and emerging wireless ecosystem and we're looking forward to having a great show that we ride right into Super Mobility Week next September.
WW: Can you talk more about partnerships for the Supershow?
Mesirow: IFA, which is the world's largest consumer electronics and appliance event—we actually just came back from Berlin, this is an amazing event—and we are going to be linking into that in a big way. We are going to share a keynote stage, we are going to create the first global platform for consumer products announcements in the mobile space. That's significant because if you think about the way companies have to release products now, generally you have to be in two places at once. Look at the Galaxy Gear announcement; they were at IFA and simultaneously in New York. These things take a lot of coordination, resources and money and now a company like Samsung just needs to be on our stage or IFA's stage and they're simultaneously on the other side of the Atlantic.
In addition, IFA's really opened the door for large and small appliances to start coming into the event. These are going to play a critical role as these products become connected appliance. It's going to impact not only the way we use the appliance but also energy consumption.
So we're very excited about IFA and it makes us more global in scope. Some of the other partners we have are the National Association of Home Builders. These guys represent over 70,000 home builders in the United States and that's a hugely significant, new buying community for the wireless industry. You've got this entire industry that's just coming out of the basement in economic terms and they're really hungry to differentiate their products, so they're pushing technology and a lot of that is our technology being integrated into the home.
We have a lot of healthcare organizations that are part of this event. We've got the Competitive Carrier Association that's a part of this event. UBM's big infrastructure event 4G World, which used to be a standalone event that they had around Super Mobility Week, is physically coming into Super Mobility Week, which is exciting. We've got several other announcements coming that will really fill out each segment of our evolving wireless ecosystem.
WW: How's the planning process changed? Will there still be a designation between CTIA and MobileCon in the new Supershow format?
Mesirow: It won't change at all. We're still producing MobileCon. We're still producing our iconic CTIA event. We're just actually adding a lot of different elements so the planning will remain the same. If anything, it's going to accelerate. We'll make sure, from a MobileCon perspective, that we're still driving this high-level IT professional to the show, that we're still offering them this exclusive environment. I've been telling people it's the best of both worlds because they can have this intimate gathering where they're just with their peers, they'll have all the thought leadership, and at their choosing, they'll be able to go out to the larger show and see what's happening in other areas of the industry.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 135
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wendy925 i'll be back
My new favorite place to stay in NY thanks to the wonderful people at this hotel, especially those in loss prevention who helped me so much when I discovered I had left my purse at a restaurant the previous night. Definately customer service like I have never experienced. I cannot thank the staff enough, including Dante, who helped ensure I got to my meeting on time.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mick1521 Very accommodating staff.
The staff at The W met our every need and expectation. The accommodations were very comfortable and had every amenity we could desire. This will definitely require a repeat visit. We'd like to come back down once the 9/11 museum opens next spring. We didn't realize just how close the hotel was to it and made sure to visit the memorial before we left the city.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AJR1 Excellent Hotel
Just came back from a stay at the W Downtown for the NYC marathon.
The hotel is a short walk away from the Staten Island ferry - so ideal to get to the start.
Great location - easy to go uptown.
Very moving view from the rooms across to the 9/11 memorial too.
Special thanks to Robert Rozko, the Concierge, for looking after us and providing some excellent tips on where to go!!
Overall a great city stay.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ma4t Amazing views and better staff
I think it's the hotel with the best value for money in NY. Like all the W Hotels, the modern design is one of the best features of the hotel. Although it's location isn't close to most of main tourist attractions of the city, in a few minutes you can be in Times Square or Central Park either with the subway or with the Accura service. Without doubt, the best feature of this hotel is the view from their rooms, especially those with views to the new One World Trade Centre tower. Finally I would like to remark the professionalism of the staff

Lawyer in shock jock trial arrested in Tampa
Lawyer in shock jock trial arrested in Tampa on drunk driving charge; jury sent home for day
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The defamation suit against radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge took an unusual turn when the lawyer for the man suing Clem was arrested on a drunk driving charge.
Charles Philip Campbell Jr. — who is the lawyer for Todd "MJ" Schnitt — was pulled over on Wednesday after Tampa police said he violated another driver's right of way. He refused to perform field sobriety exercises or have his blood alcohol level taken.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that Campbell was booked into the county jail and released on $500 bail at 6 a.m. Thursday, then was in court at 8:30 a.m. for the trial.
Judge James Arnold announced there would be no testimony in court so attorneys would work on jury instructions instead. Jurors were sent home.

University welcomes back students to Callaghan for 2012
After a three-month break, the University of Newcastle has come alive today with thousands of students eager to return to their studies and more than 5,000 attending the Callaghan campus for the first time.
Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Services), Mr Trevor Gerdsen, said the first week of semester was an exciting time for the university community.
"Our students breathe life into the campus and create energy," he said.
"For our new students, this is a fresh chapter in their lives. It is a time of anticipation and excitement as they expand their horizons, broaden their thinking and enjoy new friendships with other students from more than 60 countries."
Mr Gerdsen encouraged all students to take advantage of the extensive services available to help them during their time at university.
"We can help students personally with services including a fully accredited general practice, counselling and career advice, and we can help them academically with writing skills and learning development.
"At this busy time of year we are also helping our students familiarise themselves with ways to travel to and from the campus, and encouraging them to allow plenty of time to reach the university before their classes start."
The university's online transport information tool, On the Move, provides the latest information on buses and trains, cycle and walking paths, facilities for bike riders, parking cars on campus and the shuttle service, which transports students and staff from car parks to their destination on campus.
"We also have a carpooling system that matches students and staff with other travellers interested in saving time, money and reducing their carbon footprint, by sharing a ride to campus," Mr Gerdsen said.
For more information: Mr Trevor Gerdsen, Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Services), on 02 4921 7363.

But there are crucial differences between these transgenic models and AD. Human Aβ powerfully activates human complement (Rogers et al., 1992) but not mouse complement. This is due to weaker binding of mouse C1q to human Aβ (Webster et al., 1999). The differences are manifested in weaker complement activation overall in transgenic mice. Mouse Aβ deposits are opsonized, but the membrane attack complex is not assembled (Schwab et al., 2004). In human AD, opsonization of Aβ plaques occurs alongside assembly of the membrane attack complex. These events can be visualized damaging nerve fibers in and around senile plaques (McGeer et al., 1989; Akiyama et al., 2000). Thus, complement, though beneficial in AD mouse models, is a potent neurotoxic agent in AD. As a result, vaccination with Aβ in AD can be expected to stimulate more complement activation and to enhance the damaging effects of the membrane attack complex. That was observed in the clinical trial of Wyeth/Elan's AN1792 vaccine. The trial was canceled, but many more vaccination strategies have since been developed. These can be expected to produce the same kinds of side effects unless the consequences of enhanced assembly of the membrane attack complex can be overcome (McGeer and McGeer, 2003).

Although most data supporting a beneficial role for microglial activation come from mouse models of amyloid deposition, the recent failure of the ADAPT trial of AD prevention with NSAIDs can also be consistent with this perspective (ADAPT Research Group et al., 2007). One of the key links in the argument for inflammation being pathogenic in AD is the reduced rate of dementia in those using NSAIDs. The assumption is this reflects protection due to use of the drug. However, it may equally be the case that the drug use signals individuals who are prone to inflammation. If this were true, drug use may identify these folks, but if anything, to the extent they entered brain, the NSAIDs might thwart the protective effects of the proinflammatory trait. When administered randomly, rather than by self-selection, ADAPT found that NSAIDs increased the risk of AD (in those who did not already have the disease).
Another intriguing feature of this manuscript is the appearance of neuron loss. APP mice have generally been regarded as having modest neuron loss at best. However, using more sophisticated methods, and genetic manipulations in mice, amyloid-dependent neuron toxicity is emerging in this and other models (O'Neil et al., 2007; Wilcock et al., 2008).
The real question is the extent to which this will translate to the human circumstance. AD is more than simply amyloid deposition, and the role of inflammation in the other pathologies associated with the disease will be important to determine. For this reason, the tauopathy mice that have pronounced neuronal loss will be important new models in which to evaluate these same manipulations for their potential role in preventing or exacerbating the tauopathy and neurotoxicity.

This interesting work by Maier et al. raises a number of questions regarding the interplay between innate immune cells (i.e., microglia and macrophages) and AD-like pathology. It is somewhat unfortunate that multiplex immunofluorescence and/or FACS analysis could not be performed on the CD45-positive microglia/macrophages that the authors show to be increased in brains of their crossed mice. Due to poor antigenicity of paraffin-embedded brain tissue, the authors instead performed Western blots for F4/80 Ag and macrosialin (CD68), and found a trend toward reduction of these proteins in crossed mice. However, it is unclear whether these reductions correspond to the same CD45-positive microglial population or another population of CNS-resident microglia or pericytes, or perhaps invading monocytes/macrophages. Did the authors note vascular cuffing in these crossed mice or otherwise detect presence of blood-borne macrophages?
While the biological role of F4/80 Ag (a member of the epidermal growth factor transmembrane 7 family) remains unclear (a controversial role has been proposed in promoting T cell tolerance; see van den Berg and Kraal, 2005), macrosialin's location in late endosomes of innate immune cells, together with its belonging to the LAMP/scavenger receptor family, suggests that it plays a role in phagocytosis (Wong et al., 2005). This agrees well with the findings of Maier and colleagues, if we assume that microglia are at least partially efficient at phagocytosing/clearing Aβ in mouse models of the disease, and that CD68 plays a role in promoting microglial Aβ uptake/clearance. The authors also show significant reduction in iNOS and TNFα, and a significant increase in IL-4 in these crossed mice (IL-10 trended toward increased in crossed mice as well). Based on these alterations in innate immune molecules, the authors conclude that microglial/macrophage activation is shifted toward a more alternate (anti-inflammatory or M2) form. I'm just not sure that we know enough yet about the immunology of these rather enigmatic innate immune cells to begin to classify them into distinct, well-defined, biologically meaningful subgroups. We have previously suggested that microglia/macrophage "activation" is better defined in terms of a continuum of responses, ranging from pro-inflammatory/anti-phagocytic to anti-inflammatory/pro-phagocytic, including intermediate phenotypes that have properties of both ends of the spectrum (Town et al., 2005). Of course, such taxonomy is further complicated by multiple functionally distinct subpopulations of microglia/macrophages, defined by markers such as CD11b and Ly-6C (à la Geissmann and colleagues, 2003).
I wanted to comment on a few points raised by Dave Morgan regarding LPS administration to AD model mice and also the ADAPT trial. It is interesting to note that an acute (single intra-hippocampal injection) of LPS increased reactive microglia (as defined by MHC II immunoreactivity) in AD model mice and promoted reduction of Aβ deposits (DiCarlo et al., 2001). However, in AD model mice a chronic treatment regimen with LPS (weekly for 12 weeks) actually increased both microgliosis (by F4/80 Ag) and astrocytosis (by GFAP) and resulted in increases in cerebral Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42, intraneuronal Aβ, and F4/80 Ag-positive microglia surrounding neurons containing Aβ deposits (Sheng et al., 2003). It is unclear how AD patients would react to intrathecal/intracranial injections of LPS, but certainly, given the aseptic meningoencephalitis that occurred in just over 5 percent of AD patients given the AN1792 vaccine, the safety of such an approach would need to be thoroughly evaluated in non-human primates before consideration in humans.
It deserves mentioning that the ADAPT trial was prematurely halted in late 2004 for a number of reasons, including an investigation launched by the public watchdog group "Public Citizen" and the "coxib" (Vioxx [naproxen]) cardiovascular side effects scare, which has made interpretation of this incomplete RCT complex (because treatment was suspended just after a few years following initiation; ADAPT Research Group, 2007). Interestingly, a recent epidemiologic study has carefully investigated "confounding by indication" (here, the idea that the inverse risk relationship between NSAIDs and AD was owed to arthritis, a presumed surrogate for NSAID use), and the authors found that, even after correcting for arthritis incidence, the inverse NSAID-AD risk relationship holds up (Szekely et al., 2008).
Finally, I wanted to mention our recent work targeting TGFβ signaling on peripheral macrophages in an AD mouse model, where we found dramatic (>90 percent by some methods) reduction of cerebral amyloidosis accompanied by 1) increased infiltration of blood-borne macrophage-like cells, 2) increased CD45, CD68, CD11b, and CD11c immunoreactivity (but cells were mostly negative for Ly-6C), and 3) reduced TNFα and increased IL-10 brain levels (Town et al., 2008). Our results suggest that it is possible to target a subpopulation of macrophages to productively clear Aβ deposits without provoking potentially damaging brain inflammation. Of course, we will have to wait and see if/when this therapeutic modality makes it to human clinical trials before we know whether we can "have our cake and eat it, too."
In summary, Maier and colleagues should be credited for contributing to our understanding of the potentially protective role of C3 in AD-like pathology. As we learn more about the biological roles that these various "activated" microglial products play, we will be better equipped to target the correct phenotype for eventual AD therapy.

It capped a turbulent year for France who finished bottom of the RBS 6 Nations after just one victory – against Scotland – but Saint-Andre sees merit in taking on the best in the world.
He said: "If we had wanted to improve our statistics, it would have been better to have gone on a tour of Romania or Fiji.
"It is by playing the best that one improves and makes progress.
"We also were able to look at a lot of players, we blooded seven new caps during the tour.
"In a very long season, I would like to salute the players on their work rate and their physical engagement they put into the three tests.
"The big disappointment is that we are not coming home with a win in any of them. For that I take the responsibility, the statistics are not good."

File Monitor, Registry Monitor, Port Monitor, and Process Monitor require about 1 MB of writable %temp% space. They refuse to run in VistaPE but aren't useful there because Process Monitor does their job and does it much better. So, even if you select these three programs in a VistaPE build, they will not be installed.
Disk Monitor starts but does nothing. This doesn't bother me much since I've never figured out how to get useful information out of Disk Monitor.
Autoruns works in VistaPE, and loads remote system setting without Runscanner; thanks, Homes32.
Updated 18 Jul 2010: Removed Runscanner from Autoruns.

text: Henry Hill, the mobster turned FBI informant who inspired the iconic gangster movie "Goodfellas", has died at the age of 69, according to his girlfriend. Hill's eventful life -- which included stints in jail and the witness protection program -- was immortalized in the book "Wiseguy" and famously portrayed by Ray Liotta in Martin Scorsese's Oscar-nominated movie. "He always said it was 99.9 percent accurate," his girlfriend Lisa Caserta told the New York Post. Hill passed away at a Los Angeles hospital on Tuesday. Caserta said he had a heart attack last month and had suffered from bad circulation.

MCA, does this really promote the hobby?
Our club has been told that there will be no judging at the 50th Anniversary Celebration Shows. That's all well and good if no one receives a trophy. But the rest of the story is that any car receiving a trophy at an MCA National or Grand National in 2012 or 2013 will automatically receive a trophy at the 50th, if they attend the celebration. Cars that haven't received trophies in 2012 or 2013 won't receive a trophy.
One of the most cherished trophies in my trophy room is the white stein that I received in Concours at the 35th Anniversary Show. Granted judging was modified MCA based primarily on workmanship and cleanliness but, nevertheless, I wouldn't have that trophy under the rules being quoted for the 50th because the 35th was the first MCA show my car was entered in. It later went on to become a solid gold trailered concours car but without prior wins in MCA shows it wouldn't have received that trophy under rules in place for the 50th.
Why is my experience important? Because it solidified my committment to become a participant in National and Grand National shows beginning in 2000 and continuing for several years. Am I missing the point here MCA, or are you missing a wonderful opportunity to help grow the membership?

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The White House and the mayor of Los Angeles are urging a quick end to a strike that's shut down much of the nation's busiest port complex for eight days.
Clerical workers today are continuing their walkout at 10 LA and Long Beach terminals. The workers claim shippers are outsourcing their jobs - which shippers deny. Dockworkers are refusing to cross their picket lines.
City News Service says LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa held a late-night meeting Monday with both sides but there's been no breakthrough in contract talks. Villaraigosa says the strike is costing the local economy billions.
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says the president is closely monitoring the situation and is urging both sides to quickly reach agreement.

Seventy miles long and two miles wide, Alsace is a beautiful, picturesque region situated along the border of France and Germany, nestled between the Voges Mountains and the Rhine River. These landmarks give Alsace an ideal climate for the white grapes that have become the mainstays of the region. Pinot Noir is also grown, with plantings of the grape increasing with consumer...Read More About Alsace
Pinot Blanc(pee-no blahnk) Pretty and Simple A mutation of the Pinot family, Pinot Blanc was once commonly mistaken for Chardonnay - it looks quite similar on the vine. But true Pinot Blanc lacks most Chardonnay characteristics. The grape is most at home in Alsace, where it is used both in blends as well as a sole varietal. It's also found in Italy...Read More About Pinot Blanc

My company (TheRedPin.com) has a blog (TheRedPin.com/blog), which covers many facets of real estate news about Toronto's new condo developments, Canada's real estate news and many other aspects of real estate.
I'm trying to expand our reach because I know this information is extremely useful to new home buyers out there. So I'm trying to find a way to syndicate my blog with blog aggregators out there so that I could be reachable through their platforms.
Can you please make any recommendations regarding what platforms are best for this purpose and whether you have any other suggestions for me to expand the blog's reach.
Thank you in advance,
Rokham Fard
