This article will discuss MS discoveries and treatments that can help people with this potentially disabling disease. How Close Is Science to Finding a Cure for MS? There is tremendous hope that a cure for MS will be found one day. However, the timeline for putting an end to MS forever remains unknown. As scientists throughout the world pursue a cure for MS, the National MS Society has named three goals, which are:...
Victory’s tilt at the Premier’s Plate effectively came to an end last week with a 1-0 loss to Sydney FC that underlined a sense of inconsistency that has been nagging at Muscat this season. In all three losses to the Sky Blues in 2016-17, Victory have conceded goals where they failed to clear the ball in a relatively simple situation. In Round 5, David Carney equalised for Sydney after Victory’s Stefan Nigro got stuck under a cross, having lost track of his opponent....
The man, who has been identified by police and through social media as Gary Cabana, was denied entry Saturday after several alleged incidents of “disorderly conduct” at the museum in recent days, according to WABC-TV. Cabana was arrested in Philadelphia in connection to an arson investigation of a fire in a hotel where the 60-year-old had checked in, police said. He was eventually located Monday night at a bus station in the city and has since been identified as a suspect who allegedly attacked Museum of Modern Art workers on Saturday....
By allowing more than 2 million gamers to become ax slingers without the years of practice involved, Guitar Hero has become a cultural phenomenon. Technically, you are not creating music by pushing buttons on the fret board of the game controller (which button to push is dictated by similarly colored dots that scroll on your screen at higher and higher speeds). Hitting the right button at the right time simply unlocks music that real guitarists created using real guitars....
Now, an increasingly vocal grassroots resistance to DRM is cropping up. An anti-DRM campaign called “Defective by Design,” which is organized by the Free Software Foundation , has 15,000 registered members; the Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that DRM places limits on “your ability to make lawful use of the music you purchase.” Web sites like stopdrmnow.org and digitalfreedom.org have been launched “to protect individuals’ right to use new digital technologies” and urge boycotts on DRM-tagged content....
The news that Pennsylvania metalcore band Code Orange would need to postpone their album release show for their latest album Underneath (which was released Friday) at Pittsburgh’s The Roxian was a devastating blow to the band. Besides live performances being such an integral part of the album promotion process, the quintet wrote in a tweet that they’d planned for the show to be a “cathartic release.” The Grammy-nominated band decided to bring their show to online video-streaming platform Twitch, performing in the empty venue for fans to enjoy....
Loomer, 27, won the GOP primary for Florida’s 21st District, home to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, on Tuesday evening. The far-right activist has previously been banned from multiple social media platforms because of her extreme rhetoric. She will now face Democratic Representative Lois Frankel, who is widely expected to win, on November 3. But even if Loomer’s chances of beating Frankel appear remote, Muslim Americans are worried about a Republican Party that appears to be increasingly open to overtly Islamophobic candidates and viewpoints....
My father could not have married two women with less in common. My mother, passionate and disorganized, aired her most private thoughts publicly. My stepmother, orderly and formal, seemed possessed by an unrelenting drive to accomplish. Within a few years the house in which we had grown up was sold, and I found that I could no longer assume that my father was automatically available to me. The year I graduated from college, my stepmother gave birth to her first child–a son....
I grew up in Long Island, New York, in a dominantly Jewish community. With time and more life experience in the “real world,” it became apparent to me that antisemitism and threats to the Jewish state of Israel are very real and are only getting worse. I also noticed how a lot of my colleagues and the athletes I began to work with had a terrible misconception of what it means to be Jewish, and also Israeli....
Yet I was still having trouble thinking of myself as an actor. I was slogging through my day job as an administrative assistant at a rabbinical school, answering phones, making copies and praying for lunch-time, while those around me prayed for something holier. Nonetheless, I was waiting for my “big break,” so I stuffed an envelope with my Woody-est head shot and sent it off. A week later I got a call from a woman who let me know that the director wanted me to come in and read for the role of Aaron Kaplan, a twentysomething, nebbishy Jewish man....
I crossed the 50-yard line myself recently, and as though I were going though a kind of “maleopause,” I sometimes find myself choking up at peculiar moments. I was recently writing a piece about Joe Frazier and his monumental first fight with Muhammad Ali, and, the next thing I knew, my keyboard was awash in tears. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Frazier’s courage in the ring, but it seemed odd to be weeping over Smokin’ Joe....
The total number of people who have come into the U.S. illegally so far this year is unknown. Some estimates claim it is as high as 700,000. Many—perhaps most—voters agree that it is at an unsustainable level. Yet given the Biden administration’s reluctance to return any of these people to their home nation, the upshot is that every state is now a border state. It is fascinating to compare Joe Biden’s handling of this situation with the approach of one of his Democratic predecessors, Bill Clinton....
Michelle Bachelet said the raids have killed nearly 900 citizens, calling the situation a “multi-dimensional human rights catastrophe” during a Human Rights Council debate Tuesday, according to the Associated Press. “It is incumbent on the international community to stand united in pressuring the military to halt its continuing attacks on the people of Myanmar and return the country to democracy, reflecting the clear will of the people,” she said....
This comet, though, differs from the others in one important respect: it has traveled a much greater distance to get here. Although scientists are still trying to pin down details of where it came from and where it’s headed, they reckon it takes 50,000 years to complete a round trip. (Hale-Bopp takes about 2500 years, Halley a mere 76.) That places its origin at the edge of the solar system, on the brink of interstellar space....
Lee told a crowd that the president is like Captain Moroni, a hero from the scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), sometimes called Mormons. Lee is a member of the church. “To my Mormon friends, my Latter-day Saint friends, think of him as Captain Moroni,” Lee said at the Latter-day Saints for Trump event. Around 436,000 LDS members live in Arizona. “He seeks not power, but to pull it down....
The former general spoke with CNN host Pamela Brown about solutions that would address the “extremism that has gone on within the military.” He also warned against listening to conspiracists among many Republicans promoting baseless claims of election fraud, including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. “We need to do what we can do now to identify those people [within the military], get them out of our ranks, and train the rest of the force on civics one on one about how our country is supposed to work, how elections work, stop listening to the pillow guy [Lindell] and start learning about our country and how it’s actually supposed to run,” Anderson said during his recent interview with CNN....
During a recent appearance on Real America’s Voice, Lindell told Steve Bannon that he’s planning on holding a “cyber forensic election symposium,” to provide evidence that the recent presidential election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. “I want to have congressmen there, I want to have senators there,” Lindell said. “Everybody can get there. Then once we show all the cyber guys and they can ask their questions and they’re all going, ‘Wow!...
