TAMPA — Recent studies have shown that heavy doses of caffeine might help prevent or delay the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
But rather than guzzling down super-caffeinated drinks such as Red Bull or taking stay-awake caffeine pills such as NoDoz, researchers at the University of South Florida say coffee might be the way to go.
A new study points not to caffeine, but rather an unidentified component in coffee that interacts with caffeine, as a potential weapon against the memory-robbing disease that afflicts more than 5 million Americans.
"Caffeinated coffee provides a natural increase in blood GCSF levels," said Dr. Chuanhai Cao of the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute, a lead author of the study. But, "the exact ways that this occurs is not understood."
Cao said work has begun to identify the component in coffee, but that it could take a year or more.

The city awakes on a lazy summer morning. Only a few cars and busses drives break the silence now and then. A newspaper boy passes me on his bike, while I am bending over my tripod. A woman who has got up early too, is on the way to her job, she hurries, and maybe she is late. Outside a cafe in the very center, a man is distributing the chairs on the square in front of the cafe. He is preparing for a busy summer day. I do love summer mornings! Photo by: Jacob Surland, www.caughtinpixels.com

"A unknown force has attacked the United States' East Coast! Paratroopers are coming out of the sky. Fighter Jets have attacked The Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Wait, what's going on?!?
Americans! All of your major cities except New York have been destroyed using your own weapons. The New Prussian Empire has taken over your Nuclear and Drone Systems. You are now at the mercy of the Emperor. Your military is crippled, Your cities in ruin, Surrender Now!"

Outside woods and water.
Inside a heater that made so much noise that I had to shut it off in order to get some sleep; so freezing cold in the morning. Other than that, a great place to wake up.
We returned to the lockers after our morning dives, which would have been our last shore dives outside of the house reef. We were intending on doing a couple more dives at Calabas, but we weren't expecting to see anymore different creatures.
We've heard about a resident octopus at the dock, but we've never seen it before. When we walked to our lockers, 2 divers were returning with stories about the octopus being in a pipe near the dock. So Luis and I jumped right back in.
Unfortunately, the octopus was wedged inside a pipe, behind a couple of dead corals surrounded by fish parts and broken shells. It looks like it has been bothered by many divers and is not coming out at least for now. I'm ashamed to admit that I think I woke it up with the flash on my camera. Oops!

For Nine nights this Luminous Sculpture will be over Bungarribee, Western Sydney Parklands.
A very bright light.
Godiva is a 33 feet high puppet which is travelling from Coventry to London as part of the Cultural Olympiad. When she arrived in Northampton she was presented with a bespoke pair of riding boots made by a local manufacturer - size 72! Unfortunately she was wearing a long skirt, which meant that we could only see a small part of them.
After receiving the boots on the Market Square she made her way around the town centre preceded by a motley crew made up of the Mayor,and some Councillors, corset wearing Morris Dancers, Belly Dancers, the 'Ministry of Cycles', and 'Wicker Maidens' - who I assume were the yong ladies bearing flowers.
