Students experience leadership styles at The CitadelSend to friend
Members of Leadership Certificate Program and Georgia Education Mentorship Program learned different leadership styles during The Citadel's symposium. Georgia College student delegates networked with nationally recognized leaders during the fifth annual Principled Leadership Symposium at The Citadel in South Carolina.
The first-time experience for students of Georgia College's Leadership Certificate Program (LCP) and Georgia Education Mentorship (GEM) Program introduced new ideas and concepts about leadership from professionals across the nation.
"A lot of the speakers geared their topics toward life and leadership in or surrounding the military," said Lauren Pavao, senior political science major. "I have always been interested in politics and international affairs."
Speakers included Dr. William J. Bennett, former U.S. secretary of education and best-selling author; Joe Ehrmann, former NFL player and author; retired Maj. Gen. Patrick H. Brady, Medal of Honor Recipient for actions in Vietnam, 1968; and Deborah Lee James, executive vice president of communications and government affairs with Science Applications International Corp.
The two-day event during March enlightened Georgia College students to a range of leadership concepts, said John Bowen, Georgia College's coordinator of leadership programs.
"Students interacted with speakers, panelists, advisers and other student delegates," said Bowen, who accompanied the students. "The experience also created greater camaraderie among our participants."
Students explored and engaged in panel discussions concerning leadership in fields such as business, service learning, education, media, sports and politics.
"Leadership comes in many forms," said Senitra Syas, senior management major. "I got to hear from heroic men who fought in the war and lost limbs. When we asked them who are their leaders, they would say their wives, friends or brothers."
The symposium reinforced classroom discussions about leadership.
"I learned more about leadership — honor, integrity and moral courage," said Oluwaseun Oyewole, junior biology major. "It was fun to meet retired army officers who represented the United States on war fronts. Courage like that doesn't come easily. The symposium was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Crazy Fan Theory: "A" Isn't the Only One Torturing the Liars
Pretty Little Liars is always throwing crazy twists at us, so fans have to be extra creative to stay ahead of the writers and try to predict what will come next. Fortunately, the Pretty Little Liars fandom is more than up to the challenge; there are always a million creative theories out there to think about.
Every Friday, we like to pluck an extreme Pretty Little Liars fan theory out of the wilds of Tumblr to examine. After all, you never know what might turn out to be right!
This week, we want to touch on the theory that "A" isn't the only one after the Liars — and that, more specifically, the second person is trying to get vengeance for whoever was buried in Ali's grave.
As this Tumblr user cleverly points out, in Season 4, Episode 32 ("Unbridled"), Spencer received two scary messages meant to make her think she buried someone that night. Obviously we're supposed to think that "A" was messing with her, and that's possible. That said, those messages a) were written in first person ("You know me, Spencer," "What will you do when the rest of me comes out of that grave?") which isn't so much "A"'s style and b) weren't signed, as most of "A"'s messages are.
Clever observation, right? We're not sure if it actually means anything, but it's fun to think about!
What do you think of this theory — is it possible, or totally crazy? Sound off in the comments below.
Catch the Pretty Little Liars Season 5 premiere on June 10, 2014 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC Family.

Rash Treatment
Patient Comments Read 6 Comments
In general, most noninfectious rashes are usually treated symptomatically and often with cortisone creams and/or pills. Infection-associated rashes are frequently treated by addressing the underlying infection. Some treatments, such as oatmeal baths, may help control the itching of both infectious and noninfectious rashes.

"We parked in front of the Sahara and went to check in," Traves said. "We came back out 10 minutes later and someone had busted out the window of our car and taken everything. They even took my Sony Playstation."
"I asked the woman at the front desk what the Hotel was going to do about it and she said It's not our responsibility," Traves says. "They said their security guards aren't even responsible for my property. They need to hire some more security I think. They didn1t even give us a free room for the night."
Traves, the inventor of the McScarry (a McTwist into a Rodeo), was planning on traveling east to jump in the US Open Big Air. "Now, since my board, boots, and bindings have been stolen I'll have to compete in my socks," he said.
Anyone who saw Traves at the Vans Triple Crown Big Air last weekend would know that he probably isn't kidding.

About Me Career, Casual, Classic
I was disappointed in these jeans. I had previously bought the same style Kimmie Boot Cut (without destruction) about a year ago and they had 3% Lycra in them. They fit like a dream. I find now that all the Kimmie Boot Cut jeans have 2% Lycra in them which, believe it or not, makes a world of difference in the fit and comfort level. Also, these were supposed to be a shorter inseam. I still would have to cut at least 3 inches off them. Sadly, I sent them back.

Help needed in installing Nvidia on Ubuntu
- From: "Chaman Singh Verma" <csv610@xxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 08:06:42 +0530
I am not sure about whether it is the right platform to ask question on
installing Nvidia on Ubuntu 8.10, but since there are many talented gurus
and good support, I am taking this opportunity.
I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 and have Nvidia 8800 GT card. Motherboard
is Intel DG31PR. When I reboot the machine, it says that the GeForce
8800 GT doesn't have appropriate external cables and unless we rectify
this problem, X will not start.
I don't know what is appropriate external cable is ? I have Old CRT monitor
and one adapter came along with the Nvidia package.
There was one option to run the graphics in low-grade mode, when I tried
to use that, it says GLX not found and double buffer is not available.
Can someone give some directions to resolve these problems ?

Ahrens wins 1st Scranton Half Marathon
SCRANTON - For the entire race, Clarks Summit's Rob Ahrens and Dickson City's Kevin Borrelli led the pack, one overtaking the lead from the other.
The two training partners easily distanced themselves from the rest of the field. The only question that remained: Who was going to come out on top?
Ahrens pulled away in the last quarter mile of the race - just as the two were exiting the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail - and held off the two-time Steamtown Marathon winner.
Ahrens crossed the finish line at Scranton Memorial Stadium in a personal record time of 1 hour, 9 minutes and 14.68 seconds to win the inaugural Scranton Half Marathon.
Borrelli finished with a time of 1:09:24.25. Nicholas Synan from New York placed third in 1:12:49.78.
"It's great," Ahrens, 26, said. "It's a good feeling to run that far and win. The course was great. They organized it great. The volunteers and the spectators were phenomenal. It was all just awesome."
Ahrens is a 2009 graduate of Baptist Bible College. In May, he won the Binghamton Half Marathon.
Borrelli, 31, ran at Duquesne University and also won the Lehigh Valley Half Marathon in 2011.
The two have built a friendly rivalry with each other, which they both agreed has made them better.
"We're together once or twice a week doing runs," Borrelli said. "We did the same thing up in Binghamton last year, finishing 1-2. Sooner or later, I'd love the order to be different. But it's great, he's a good guy and we have a lot of fun out there. I wouldn't have ran nearly as fast without him, and I'm sure he can say the same thing about me."

Sep 26, 2011 last update:Sep 27, 2011
International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) in its Pro-Med Mail newsletters. The study is published in the current issue of Veterinary Microbiology.
Lead author is Kevin Njabo, a researcher in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) department of ecology and evolutionary biology and associate director of the Center for Tropical Research.
Njabo and his colleagues randomly collected nasal swabs and blood samples from domestic pigs that were part of 11 herds in villages and farms in Cameroon in 2009 and 2010.
Past infection
In the village in northern Cameroon, Njabo found two pigs with active H1N1 infections, and virtually every other pig had evidence of a past infection in its blood.
"The pigs got H1N1 from humans," Njabo said. "The H1N1 virus that we found in livestock in Cameroon is virtually identical to a virus found in people in San Diego just a year earlier, providing an astonishing example of how quickly the flu can spread all over the globe.
"The discovery of H1N1 in African swine is also important because it shows how farming practices can trigger disease outbreaks and suggests opportunities for improving human and livestock health. Our studies indicate that H1N1 infections are more common in swine that wander freely in villages than in animals that are confined to farms."
"This particular H1N1 strain is ubiquitous," said Smith, who is also a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and a member of UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. "When different strains of influenza are mixed in pigs, such as an avian strain with a human strain, you can get new hybrid strains that may affect humans much more severely and can potentially produce a pandemic that can allow human-to-human infection. This is how a pandemic can arise; we need to be very vigilant.
The research was conducted under the auspices of the Zoonotic Influenza Collaborative Network, led by the Fogarty International Center at the National Institutes of Health. The collaborative network is supported by international influenza funds from the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

With its many beheadings, battles and betrayals, Game of Thrones has fast become the most anticipated hour of television for millions of Americans each week. The new issue of Rolling Stone – covered by actor Kit Harington, who plays the show's long-haired, steely-eyed hero Jon Snow – goes behind the scenes with features on Harington and an in-depth interview with novelist George R.R. Martin, who conceived the world of Westeros and the Song of Ice and Fire series of books that serve as the basis for Game of Thrones.
n the Haringon feature, "The Winter Soldier," written by contributing editor Stephen Rodrick, the frequently tight-lipped 27-year-old actor explained what he has in common with Snow, as well as their differences. "Snow's a black sheep," Harington says. "The thing that drives both of us is more similar than you might think – he's driven by ambition. I've always been ambitious too." Snow, he said, is a good person who believes in what he's doing and he admires the way the character balances duty with ambition. "I'm very ambitious," Harington said, "but how do I balance that with not fucking other people up around me?"
Harington also revealed that once the show has its final colorful wedding – which could still be five or more years away – he hopes to enjoy different sorts of roles. "I told my agent, 'No more swords, no more horses,'" he said. "You [don't want to] get stuck in things. And maybe I can cut my fucking hair."
But until then, he said he is enjoying perpetuating myths both onscreen and off. "I don't do Twitter because I don't want to talk about myself more than I already have to," he said, though he shared stories with Rolling Stone about skinny dipping in the pool at a Hollywood hotspot and crashing a Ford Mustang while sober. But he also acknowledges that he is lucky to have such a fruitful career playing a beloved character, and that he understands the appeal of Jon Snow. "The show started when the economy was very bad," Harington said. "People were looking for a hero trying to make his way through a dark world that they didn't understand. That's Jon Snow."

The offer is for selected Xbox 360 owners in the United States, Canada, and the UK.
The rebate offer is only good through the end of the July, but the credit earned from buying an Xbox One is good for a year. The credit must be activated by October 15th though.

so now we have some FACTS to comment on.
those know it alls didn't know as much as they thought! not going to mention names
Vettel is quickest as most suspected, but McLaren and Hamilton showed their class and put it on P2. Webber is probably kicking his sheep at the back of the pits somewhere seeing his team mate so far ahead of him with the same equipment. and Button wasn't too far behind.
what happened to Ferrari and Teflonso? ... not too good eh? Massa is finished full stop and Schumi should join him after failing in Q2.
so what are all the McLaren/Hamilton haters going to say now? the 'Dog' is out the kennel and the 'talent-less' Hamilton is on the front row even with his Kers failure!
finally well done to Petrov, really pleased for him. Heidfield... no comment!
bring on the race!!!

Last night as I tried to pull my sleepy boyfriend off the couch, I realized that I might need to do more weight training. The fact that I can even consider lifting weights is a far cry from where I once was. If open heart surgery has taught me anything, it's that the numbers on the scale don't matter—being as healthy as possible is most important and should never be taken for granted.
After my first pacemaker implant, I was told that I would need a Fontan revision open heart surgery. I was 23 years old, didn't even remember my first open heart surgery, and was deeply unsettled by this news.
Soon after the implant, I would be slipping in and out of arrhythmia. Trying to work out was impossible and I drowned my sorrows in mac and cheese. Four months and 15 pounds later, I went in for open heart surgery. In the hospital I was motivated to move around as much as possible, hoping to get out by Christmas.
Once the last tubes came out I went home and felt weaker than ever. My entire body ached, I couldn't hold down any food, and I slept too much. I couldn't even pick up a half gallon of milk. In one month I lost 35 pounds. I was finally the weight and size I had always wanted to be, but I was miserable.
Once I began cardiac rehab, regained some lost muscle mass, and started eating normally, I gained weight. I didn't care. I knew my alternatives and I wanted to stay healthy. That first year after heart surgery, every move I made would make me nervous, especially workouts. I was still slipping in and out of arrhythmia. Once I had my last ablation, I knew I would still have to stay alert.
Nowadays, I try all the latest workouts: Kettlebell, Barre, TRX, Tabata—you name it, I've tried it. Of course I talk to my doctor all the time, and she encourages me to continue working out, but to keep the mac and cheese to a minimum—but she didn't say anything about cupcakes! I don't' want to be thin; I want to be healthy. I work out for strength. Besides, who else will put my sleepy boyfriend to bed?
Note: Always make sure to check with your ACHD cardiologist before beginning any exercise routine.
Brenna is a happy, healthy marketing professional living in San Francisco. She loves to volunteer, talk politics and sustainability, find excuses to eat cupcakes, explore San Francisco, and try new workouts (TRX, anyone?). Brenna has had two open heart surgeries (one Fontan and one Fontan Revision) and two pacemaker implants. Follow her on Twitter @obisaacson and on her blog obiblogs.wordpress.com.

Dialysis Rotation
The dialysis rotation is designed to give the Nephrology fellow experience in the day-to-day management of patients with chronic renal failure dialyzed either at home (hemo- and peritoneal dialysis) or as outpatients in a hemodialysis unit. The fellow takes an active role in teaching the students and housestaff the theory and practice of dialysis management.
Activities include daily rounds on all outpatients dialyzed in-center and discussion of these patients with the dialysis staff. The fellow is expected to attend the weekly center patient review conference and the home dialysis patient review conference. These conferences are designed to enable all members of the dialysis team to discuss each patient in depth. All facets of patient care will be covered including social problems, dietary recommendations and alterations in the daily dialysis prescription according to the metabolic status of the patient. The fellow will also participate in other dialysis modalities such as hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, and pediatric dialysis, as they occur.
The fellow will also round daily on patients undergoing home dialysis training and will participate directly in the patient training program. In addition, the dialysis fellow will attend the weekly home dialysis clinic (hemo- and peritoneal) and will function as a direct link between these patients and the dialysis team when patients call regarding dialysis problems at home.; Ongoing aspects of the home program will be discussed with dialysis attending staff daily.
These activities are intended to give fellows an in-depth exposure to all modes of dialysis and enables them to formulate realistic strategies regarding patients with end-stage renal failure.

Guilt-ridden wrong-doer who tries to make amends to a dead man's woman and then falls for her may be an oft-reworked movie set-up, but "Schizo" manages to keep it fresh. Sun-seared rural Kazak's illegal boxing circuit is the setting for this assured first feature by helmer Gulshad Omarova. Pic could punch above its weight on fest circuit.
The guilt-ridden wrong-doer who tries to make amends to a dead man's woman and then falls for her may be an oft-reworked movie set-up, but "Schizo" manages to keep it fresh. Sun-seared rural Kazak's illegal boxing circuit is the setting for this assured first feature by helmer Gulshad Omarova, co-writer of Sergei Bodrov Jr.'s "Sisters," here working with Russian helmer Sergei Bodrov Sr. ("Prisoner of the Mountains") wearing the producer's hat. Offering further evidence of contempo vibrancy in Kazak filmmaking, pic should go a few rounds at B.O. at home, and could punch above its weight on fest circuit.According to press notes, pic is set in the early 1990s although timeless story has hardly any period markers. Fifteen-year-old Mustafa (Olzhas Nusuppaev) has been nicknamed "Schizo" by schoolmates because of unspecified behavioral problems. His mother Kulyash (Gulnara Eralibeva) is saving up to get medical treatment for him in distant big city Almaty. She agrees to let him quit school to go work for her slippery Russian b.f. Sakura (Eduard Tabischev), a small-time hood who recruits unemployed men for brutal bare-knuckle fights run by local Mr. Big, Almaz (Zhurabek Musbaev). Schizo recruits Ali (Gairatzhan Tokhgibakiev), a Kazak not much older than he is. But Ali gets pounded to death in the ring by a bruiser twice his size, an action sequence shot with real flair in a flurry of handheld shots. Before he expires, Ali asks Schizo to take all the money in his pocket to Zinka (Sissy Spacek-lookalike Olga Landina), mother of his 5-year-old son Sanzhik (Nurtay Kanagat). Naturally, Schizo lies to the pretty Zinka about Ali's fate and soon starts hanging round her shack, gradually taking the place of the dead man he physically resembles in a plotline reminiscent of films like Pat O'Connor's "Cal" or even Neil Jordan's "The Crying Game," but without the cross-dressing Although his immediate circle assumes he's stupid because he's so tightlipped, Schizo's implacable face merely disguises a cunning mind. He contrives to win Almaz's Mercedes in a fight by recruiting his uncle Zhaken (Bazkitbek Baimuzhanbetov) — once a legendary scrapper, now making a living stealing dead power line cables — as a ringer for a big fight. After they win, Schizo and Zhaken sell the Mercedes, and Schizo gives his share to Zinka, who sexually initiates him as a reward. By this time, she knows Ali is dead, but with few other prospects around she forgives him and starts to fall for the lovestruck teen. Last act escalates noir elements and then disappointingly deflates somewhat. A late twist risks losing aud sympathy for protag. Also, too-pat happy-ish ending feels like a crime-sort-of-pays sop to the domestic crowd (who tend to be less judgmental of cinematic criminal behavior), which betrays gritty sensibility of midsection. Nevertheless, Omarova emerges as a talent to watch with "Schizo," showing a particular knack for filming bodies in motion. Pleasingly pulpy story fits right in with indigenous, Slavic tradition and current fascination with gangster fare. Meanwhile, Omarova evinces a local's keen sense of place in collaboration with Talgan Asirankulov's production design, capturing the scruffy locations used with a painterly eye. Perfs, by a mix of unknown and experienced thesps, have a consistent naturalism. Lead actor Nusuppaev, with his mop of jet-black hair and cunning eyes, takes a while to warm up on screen but Omarova works with rather than against his limitations, building plot structure around his inscrutability. Comely Landina and sexy Tabischev show more pro sheen and up pic's eye-candy quotient. Rest of tech credits also are pro, with Hasanbek Kidiraliev's lensing dreamily bleached looking, favoring long distance shots and vertiginous high angles that dwarf figures in the ravaged landscape as well as numerous p.o.v. shots.

Not Bad!: LEGO Super Mario Level Aquarium Decorations
This is a couple pictures and a video of the 55-gallon aquarium Redditor jennyleighb's roommate decorated with a custom LEGO Super Mario Bros. scene he built. Pet fish never had it so good! Still, you know what it needs? "A skeleton pirate drinking out of a jug of rum?" Exactamundo. I'd suggest hitting up the Wal-Mart pet department, but all the dead fish in their tanks will end up depressing you. I don't know who's supposed to take care of those things, but they should NOT be allowed to own pets (I suspect it's the greeter).
Hit the jump for some closeups and a video tour.
Thanks to Lizzy, who told me her turtle needs this pronto. You do realize he's gonna eat all the LEGO pieces right? I mean, I would.

Homeschooled Red Sox
In many states, homeschooled students cannot play on public school sports teams. Homeschoolers should fight for equal rights—they pay taxes to support those schools—but big talent has a way of beating discrimination.
That's the big news encapsulated in a tweet last week from the Wake County (N.C.) Homeschooled Warriors: Warriors pitcher Pat Goetze signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox and headed to the Red Sox training facility in Fort Myers, Fla.
As blogger Izzy Lyman informed me, "Pat has never played on a public or private school sports team. He found alternatives, outside the mainstream, to exercise his talents and stuck with them." One of those alternatives: A baseball team with the great name Homeschooled Warriors, made up of kids from the North Carolina county that includes Raleigh, the state capital.
Goetze has a large frame (he's 6-foot-6) and a large willingness to give thanks:
"I'm really blessed and thank God for this opportunity. It's very special to have a pro team come look at you. … [I]t wasn't easy for me to get that opportunity. … Give God the Glory. I will be the best I can be."

OK, this would be amazing just by the fact that the following characters were written by hand, in chalk:
(I wouldn't have believed that these weren't somehow stenciled on somehow if I didn't see the man writing the characters with my own eyes.)
…but how about that they're also written upside down, by a farmer with no legs?
When I went by this spot an hour later after dinner, the chalk characters had all been rubbed out.

"Failure to Launch" is an especially slight romantic comedy whose modest charms are derived largely from its supporting players. Conspicuously inspired by magazine articles about a trendy, "Oprah"-worthy syndrome, the filmmakers pad the movie's allotted time with over-the-top interludes in pursuit of a screwball tone.
Although not nearly as bad as its title, "Failure to Launch" is an especially slight romantic comedy whose modest charms are derived largely from its supporting players. Conspicuously inspired by magazine articles about a trendy, "Oprah"-worthy syndrome — adult children unwilling to leave their parents' homes — the filmmakers pad the movie's allotted time with over-the-top interludes in pursuit of a screwball tone. Blessed with some crowd-pleasing elements, "Launch" should enjoy modest appeal among the weekend-date crowd but, to borrow its terminology, it doesn't seem destined to fully achieve liftoff.This is actually the second time Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker have done the "meet cute" thing, the other coming when he guest starred as himself (not all that convincingly) on "Sex and the City." It's too bad, however, that their characters aren't as well buffed and polished as the stars' deservedly celebrated physiques. Despite that athletic frame and chiseled jaw, fun-loving Tripp (McConaughey) is a 35-year-old man still living with his mom (Kathy Bates) and dad (Terry Bradshaw). In fact, his designated method of breaking up with the sundry babes he bags is to bring them home as soon as they exhibit the first sign of becoming too attached. More improbably, Tripp's best buddies, tech geek Ace (Justin Bartha) and world traveler Demo (Bradley Cooper), are also live-at-home examples of this Peter Pan syndrome. Even so, they tell Tripp that he's "afraid of love," a charge he rejects, insisting that his prolonged adolescence is just swell. Tripp's parents don't appear particularly upset with the arrangement, but, after chatting with some blissful neighbors enjoying a newly emptied nest, they retain Paula (Parker), a "professional interventionist" who promises she can seduce men suffering from "failure to launch," thus inspiring them to move out on their own. As Paula soon realizes, however, Tripp is an atypical case, and not just because he and his friends all have weird names. The two share an obvious attraction, muddling her carefully orchestrated routine, which is built around not becoming too involved. (A moment when we see her with a more conventional "client" — enthusing about the "Star Wars" trilogy — hints at a different and perhaps better movie, though there's still the untidy little matter of dumping these losers after romancing them to independence.) Director Tom Dey ("Shanghai Noon") and TV writing veterans Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember alternate between more down-to-Earth scenes and cartoonish ones. On that latter score, Tripp keeps having oddly dangerous encounters with animatronic animals, leading to broad slapstick sequences that are incongruous with the rest of the film. Granted, there is a belated if somewhat feeble attempt to explain why animals keep attacking Tripp, along with why Tripp's still at home and how Paula stumbled into this bizarre line of work. But, none of it is any more convincing than Tripp's absurdly precocious nephew, who comes across as sitcom silly. Parker isn't far from her "Sex" persona and fares a bit better than McConaughey, whose comic chops are less developed than his abs. Pic's saving graces and few genuine laughs, meanwhile, flow from the goofy antics of Bates and Bradshaw, with the old quarterback even baring his backfield for the team. Zooey Deschanel also brings some quirkiness to her role as Paula's misanthropic roommate, though the two are such unlikely friends it feels as if Deschanel parachuted in from an entirely different movie. Shot in locales that include Maryland, New Orleans and Alabama, "Failure to Launch" ultimately shares something in common with its protagonist that doesn't bode well for its theatrical run: While both Tripp and the movie are attractive and far from a total failure, neither offers much motivation to leave the house.

Discover The Hidden Links Of Depression.
Depression is a complex condition. About 70 million people have had at least one incidence of serious depression in their life time. Depression can be linked to distressing events in your life, such as loss of a loved one, stress and hormonal alterations, illnesses, specific drugs, or drug/alcohol abuse. Recent researches have shed new lights on different sources of depression.
Depression Is Linked With Inflammation.
Anybody who has suffered a viral or bacterial infection understands what it means to feel sick. Sickness brings on fever and nausea, lack of appetite and loss of interest in physical and social surroundings. Sick people exhaust easily, and have deprived sleep. Furthermore, they feel unhappy and irritable; suffer from reduced attention span and temporary memory loss. Just as terror is normal in the face of a predator, sickness is a normal response to infection caused by factors named inflammatory cytokines/markers produced by body's immune and inflammatory cells.
There is a increasing evidence to suggest that inflammation is associated with depression. Here is some of the evidence:
– Enhanced levels of inflammatory cytokines can induce depressive behavior.
– Inflammatory cytokines can move in the brain and modify the levels of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin in the brain.
– Amounts of inflammatory cytokines are much higher in people suffering stress, anguish, sadness, and other difficult emotions.
– Elevated levels of inflammatory markers preceded the beginning of depressed mood in an elderly population with no psychiatric history.
– Depression is frequently linked with a diversity of factors (e.g., psychosocial stress, medical illness, obesity, poor diet, diminished sleep, social isolation) that are known to give rise to an increase in inflammatory markers.
– Depression is a recognized complication of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
– Depression shares similarities with 'sickness behavior', a normal response to infection or inflammation.
– In cancer and hepatitis C patients receiving immunotherapy, depression appeared in up to 50% of patients.
– Neurochemical findings in autopsy studies suggest an inflammatory component to depression.
– Medications with an effect on the immune system can affect mood.
Play An Important Role In Depression
Researchers do not know why inflammatory cytokine levels are higher in depressed and anxious people. They speculate that psychological stress can alter blood pressure and heart rate. These stress-related changes can lead to the discharge of cell signaling molecules that promote cytokine production. Other source of elevated inflammatory cytokines include smoking, high fat diet, and being obese.
Numerous researches suggest inflammatory cytokines have a crucial role in depression. Inflammation may initiate, exacerbate, and lengthen depression through:
– Hyper-responsiveness to acute stress
– Altered immune system
– Neuronal impairment and neuron death
– Diminished neuron renewal
– Increased neurotoxic end products
Links Connecting Depression And Inflammatory Diseases.
Accumulating studies have shown compelling relationships between depression and known inflammatory or autoimmune diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Therefore, it is important to recognize inflammation as a shared factor that may cause multiple health problems. Depression is a known risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, as well as an independent forecaster of poor prognosis following a cardiac event. For example, patients with heart disease are three times more likely depression than the general population. Stress could be an underlying trigger that causes the development of both depression and heart disease. Stress can set off depression by activating the nervous system, interrupting heart rhythm, increased tendency for clotting of the blood, and intensified inflammatory responses, all of which negatively impact the cardiovascular system.
Inflammation that impairs both the disease and the tendency towards depression is visible in diabetes and cancer. While negative emotions may not increase the risk of developing diabetes or cancer, they could exacerbates these illnesses. There is evidence that as soon as you have cancer, psychological stress and depression can worsen the cancer through elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines. Study proves that inflammatory cytokines can cause resistance to chemotherapy, accelerating the conversion of tumor cells into advanced cancer. Some cytokines appear to encourage the development of new blood vessels that nourish tumors, the crucial process in tumor metastasis.
Several large studies provided the evidence that patients with COPD are at an increased risk of developing depression. Despite progresses in various treatments, the death rate associated with COPD has doubled in 30 years. The presence of anxiety and depression has been linked to increased death, declined functional status, and reduced quality of life. Of people who suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS), more than 20% have depression. Evidence also suggests depression can worsen IBS.
Links Between Depression And Inflammatory Skin Conditions.
Depression is commonly accompanied with inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne and rosacea. Psoriasis is a hyper-proliferative inflammatory skin disease that often occurs as rough, red, flaking lesions. Multiple studies have established that depression is a widespread challenge among psoriasis patients, which can modify the progress of psoriasis as well as the effectiveness of treatments. The link between depression and acne has long been recognized, especially in teenagers. Acne increases the risk of depression and suicide attempt. Depression can also exacerbate acne.
Control Of Inflammation Represents A Novel Approach To Relieve Depression.
Evidence demonstrates that inflammatory cytokines prompts not only signs of sickness, but also true disorders in susceptible individuals and physically ill patients despite the fact that they have no previous history of mental disorders. The findings that inflammation can actually cause depression and various chronic disorders suggest that targeting inflammatory responses could be an innovative strategy to treat depression and associated health concerns. Various studies are under way to treat symptoms of depression with anti-inflammatory drugs including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Encouraging results have been achieved by blocking inflammatory cytokines in psoriasis and from the treatment of COX-2 inhibitors in patients with depression.
Natural Treatments For Relief of Inflammation And Depression Symptoms.
For decades, NSAIDs have been broadly recommended for various aspects of flu-like symptoms or sickness-related behaviors. Unfortunately, 25% of NSAIDs users encounter severe and sometimes fatal complications such as stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding. The newer NSAIDs such as selective COX-2 inhibitors (Vioxx and Celebrex) have been connected with an increased risk of serious undesirable cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke. In this scenario, the good news is that safer approaches are available. You can fight depression and anxiety without the side effects of antidepressant drugs or NSAIDs! Nutrients, anti-inflammatory herbs and herbal remedies have been shown to alleviate depression symptoms.
By keeping inflammation under control, anti-inflammatory therapies may:
– Improve sleep and reduce headaches and anxiety
– Help restore the balance of nitric oxide and prostaglandins, which influences the severity of depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction
– Repair the body's antioxidant defense
– Enhance the vascular healing and repair
– Recover vascular cell function and integrity
Millions of people go undiagnosed or untreated for depression. Without treatment, depression may remain for 6 months or longer, with increased occurrence and intensity of incidents. If you feel the pain from depression, or your symptoms of depression persist despite the treatment of anti-depressant drugs, or your anti-depressant medicines become less helpful, you may need to recognize inflammatory sources and seek for anti-inflammatory treatment.

A 'last chance'?
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has used his first major policy speech to the new Parliament to make clear the Government's intentions to carefully consider the possibility of lifting the ban on the LTTE. It is that important an issue for the United National Front Government.
The Prime Minister and his parliamentary colleagues will argue that it is an equally important issue for the country as a whole. Mr. Wickremesinghe's speech to the House and to the nation strongly argues the case: the country has suffered, and continues to suffer, terribly from the ethnic conflict and proscription should not be allowed to become an obstacle to ending it.
Mr. Wickremesinghe speaks of a "last chance". Sophists and cynics might argue that there have been opportunities for peace before the current process and there could be opportunities in the future as well. But the Premier, as the leader of a society, speaks of that society's yearnings, its expectations and its dues. That is his appointed role, his societal function.
Sri Lanka and Sri Lankans deserve peace today - here and now. Not one more Sri Lankan, of any ethnic group, social class, male or female, should suffer for a moment more, if peace is even remotely possible. Not one Sri Lankan should be allowed to die or be maimed for life or deprived of her/his spouse or parent or son/daughter if peace could be achieved; nor should the land and the eco-system suffer. In that sense, this is the "last chance" for those millions of Sri Lankans who are already suffering or are directly at risk because of the conflict.
Equally important is the fact that this is the first time that both major national political parties are jointly in power today providing an unique opportunity for that long-sought collaborative effort for political reform and peace. This too makes it a crucial "chance".

Sega of America president Simon Jeffery (left) has become the latest industry heavyweight to opine on E3, offering support for the Entertainment Software Association, which operates the show, but at the same time calling for changes in future editions of the expo:
As reported by MCVUK, Jeffery said:
E3 was a strange beast this year. We had an extremely strong product showing, had some great meetings, and got our messaging over pretty strongly – all at an event that had all the atmosphere of a large hospital corridor.
We [at Sega] are big supporters of the ESA, and believe in an efficient need to communicate with the trade at all levels, but we'd like to see something that represents the fun, dynamic nature of the industry a little better without going back to the insanity that was E3 of old.
Jeffery also took a shot at Activision and other publishers which left the ESA this year:
I'm not at all happy with the principal of coat tailing. It's like not paying your taxes but still expecting all the government services. I know that the ESA will work hard to bring those publishers back on board, and we believe in them.

Politician Spends too much on Cake – naturally!Friday, July 22nd, 2011
Can't politicians get anything right? We know that these custom cakes can run a pretty penny, but color our frosting shocked when we found out that our very own New York Gov. Cuomo spent $600 on a birthday cake! Ok, it probably wasn't him directly, but as reported by the Daily News, his birthday cake purchase was listed as an "office expense" on his campaign finance filing! Sure – it's in the shape of New York and has lots of features, but look, times are hard… do we really need $600 birthday cakes? Bake Me A Wish! would have shipped him one for under $50.00!
I mean really – that's somebody's paycheck for a week.
Check out the article by Celeste Katz here: disregard those comments Celeste – I think you're cool for pointing this out!

Hmm.. don't think my Apple would like getting booted.. now if it was my old Vista.. that I would have happily booted. :D I like the thought of side skirts and rear spoiler... but I think I'll hold off on any major modding for now as I've looked at the prices here in Denmark... way out of my price range. £250 - £600. I've just paid over £700 for the car's annual service... so am kind of skint.
Lenny - I think it might have something to do with him never learning how to drive. It still cracks me up that every guy we're chatted to thinks it's his car... mind you he's pretty quick at setting them straight. :D Stoney - Thanks for the welcome and the links... they look interesting. Although I'm not sure how brave I am when it comes to wiring and stuff. I can take a computer apart but then I don't have to drive it afterwards. ;)
Thanks Dez :) Lenny - Thanks for mentoning your guides.. I hadn't actually thought of doing any modding to the exterior of my estate but you've made me curious so I'm going to have a look see. Not too sure hubby's going to like that though... he thinks I spend far too much on my car as it is.
buidheach posted a topic in New Member IntroductionsThought I'd introduce myself. My name's Ellie and I just joined the FF Club today. While I am a "girl" - I am interested in cars and I love reading about modifications (although I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to try any.. yet!!) I live in Denmark but come from Scotland and last year I decided to take my driving test which I passed first time despite everything being in Danish. :D I have a dark blue Ford Focus mk2 Estate 1,6 from 2006. Anyway I hope to learn some new stuff here both modifications and maintenence. :)

Ridiculous Fishing and Serious Sam: Random Encounter developer Vlambeer says that "non-evil" free-to-play game design is almost impossible and that game developers should not be afraid to price their games at $3. Vlambeer's Ridiculous Fishing, which almost saw the studio go under during development, went live last week on Apple's App Store and garnered strong sales and critical acclaim from fans and critics. Vlambeer said that its $3 price point had a lot to do with the game's success.
Speaking in a Reddit Ask Me Anything thread, a rep. from Vlambeer said developer should not be afraid:
"We do believe that developers shouldn't be scared to charge $3 for a game," Vlambeer said. "The problem is that at $0.99, you'll need to sell endless amounts of copies to be able to survive as an indie developer. Most games don't even get close to that.
"A direct result of the whole race-to-the-bottom in prices is the prevalence of free-to-play on iOS – it seems to be a safer bet," Vlambeer added. "But since its almost impossible to do free-to-play in a non-evil way and without sacrificing the elegance of your game design, we'll prefer to charge $3."
Vlambeer's Ridiculous Fishing: A Tale Of Redemption is one of the best reviewed game of the year to-date, but getting to that point proved to be a major challenge and struggle for the firm. The game is an enhanced version of a flash-based browser title called Radical Fishing which was released in 2010. Vlambeer started work on the iOS version in December of that year, but Vlambeer became a victim of the common practice of cloning – developer Gamenauts released a game with similar elements called Ninja Fishing in August 2011. Here is was Vlambeer had to say about that on Reddit:
"The cloning didn't motivate us to make a better game," Vlambeer said on Reddit. "We always want to make the best game possible. If anything, it demotivated us to the point where we didn't want to work on the game any more… If we could've gone back in time and stop the clone, we think we'd much rather not have had to deal with a year and a half of demotivation. It turns out motivation is really one of the most valuable things you have as a game designer."
"The idea that we spent months coming up with a tight game design and someone else could steal the idea and get credits for it. The most painful thing was seeing how, after the release of Ridiculous Fishing, people would call us out for being cloners of this fishing game they played with a ninja in it."

Microsoft Planning Midnight Launch for Surface Tablet
Price and full specifications, however, have yet to be unveiled.
Following the product popping up on several Microsoft product pages, there are expectations now of a midnight launch for Surface.
Along with Windows 8, Surface will release at midnight on October 26. The tablet will utilize the Windows 8 operating system, which will feature a tablet interface called Modern UI -- the interface is already available on Windows phone.
While the price of Surface still hasn't been announced with just three weeks left till launch, Microsoft stressed earlier in the year that the tablet would be priced at a "competitive" level.
The device will come in two different sizes, with both boasting 10.6" HD displays and a stand. Details such as battery life and RAM, though, have yet to be confirmed.

Misunderstood Phones Costs Industry US$4.5 Billion
Published on: 17th Jul 2006
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
A new report from WDSGlobal has revealed that 63% of mobile devices returned as faulty are in perfect working order. This 'No Fault Found' (NFF) returns rate exceeds the industry average for general consumer electronic devices by 13% and is costing the mobile industry USD4.5 billion globally. These findings drawn from 15 000 monthly post sales support calls taken on behalf of a major UK retailer are directly attributable to the generally poor user experience met by mobile subscribers when first using a mobile phone.
Closer examination of the 'No Fault Found' returns calls revealed that 38% were from users abandoning devices after struggling to use a specific application, 13% were based upon mis-sold devices, where users claim that the device did not fulfil the purpose for which it was sold, and 49% were from users who diagnosed lack of service pre-configuration as a device fault.
With each device returned costing operators, manufacturers and retailers in the order of

"She just started telling everyone, 'Hey, $20 trees!' Selling them for way less than they're worth, you know," said Justin Mayfield.
The woman began selling trees even though she doesn't work at the lot. In all, she sold nine trees before she she fled.
"So all the trees she sold to whoever was coming by to buy a tree -- she pocketed the money and left," said customer Belinda.
Justin Mayfield opens this lot every year to raise money for a nonprofit organization he founded called Locallife.The group works to improve struggling neighborhoods.
"So it was sad to see someone would come and not only take advantage of what we were doing, but be so brazen, so bold about it," he said.
Some of Mayfield's customers think that's as low as someone can go.
"I think that's disgusting, I do. Isn't this for charity?" said customer Traci Hoenow.
The lot has security cameras, but they didn't capture the Grinch.
So the tree sellers will now move the security office trailer a lot closer to the tree, and never leave the lot unguarded or unattended.
