Inhalable therapeutics offer a new formulation option and delivery route for existing drugs that are losing patent protection or need to become more efficient. Inhaled drugs should ideally be one to three microns in diameter, the best size for delivery into the deep lung for local and systemic absorption.
Savara has designed a next-generation pulmonary delivery platform by starting with drug nanoparticles, then assembling them to micron-sized clusters to reach the optimal size. "We want to move completely away from the current manufacturing processes and build aerosols that emulate natural aerosols," says CSO Cory Berkland, Ph.D., who, with George Laurence, invented the company's NanoCluster technology in his laboratory at the University of Kansas in Lawrence in 2007.
A major obstacle to inhaled therapeutics is the inability to efficiently deliver large quantities of a drug to the deep lung. Dr. Berkland looked to Mother Nature for inspiration—in particular, soot and mold spores, whose size and structure allows them to fly efficiently into the lungs. These natural aerosols are composed of underlying nanostructures that join together to form microparticles. "We thought that we could make something that looks like soot or mold spores, yet is primarily or entirely a drug." The NanoCluster technology resulted from this reasoning.
So far, Dr. Berkland has yet to find a class of drugs that cannot be formulated into aerosols using the NanoCluster technology. He reports that Savara's platform can be used with drugs for asthma and respiratory illnesses, cancer, tuberculosis, hypertension, nausea, diabetes, migraines, and hormone replacement therapy.
"We are not aware of anyone else tailoring the size of microparticles by using nanoparticle building blocks as we do," he says. The method improves aerosol efficiency and potentially allows two to three times more drug to reach the lung compared to competing technologies, Dr. Berkland adds.
According to the company, current dry powder drugs have several disadvantages. Their manufacturing process requires large spray-drying facilities. The pulverized drugs are blended with excipients, which are materials added to improve the flow and handling of dry powders. The drug must separate from the excipient before reaching the lung.
The inhaled drugs are often too large or too small, causing them to settle in the throat or be exhaled. Even when patients use delivery devices optimally, just 15% to 30% of the inhaled dose reaches the lung, with just 20% of that reaching the deep lung. Moreover, some dry powder drugs can only be delivered with expensive devices that vibrate or use other techniques to move the powder into the lungs.
In contrast, the dry powders generated by Savara's NanoCluster technology are manufactured without excipients or spray drying. The nanoparticles are made in suspension at room temperature using water-based chemistry, then they are concentrated, dried, and engineered into microparticles. In some cases, a tiny amount of an amino acid or salt may be added to improve the aerosol properties. The manufacturing process, performed in large tanks, is reportedly simple and easy to scale up. When NanoCluster-formulated drugs are tested in animal inhalation models, the majority of the drug reaches the deep lung, says Rob Neville, executive chairman at Savara.
Savara's dry powder formulations can be delivered with affordable, off-the-shelf oral or nasal inhalers, which could reduce the cost of entry into the market, Neville adds. The NanoCluster technology delivers drugs locally or systemically, including small molecules, peptides, and biological therapeutics.
Drugs with poor water solubility, such as chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, antifungals, and analgesics, improve their dissolution when formulated into NanoCluster aerosols. Additionally, two or more different drugs can be combined into one microparticle. "The technology allows us to create defined particle sizes, which fly in different ways. For example, larger particles are deposited in the upper airways and smaller particles travel further into the deep lung," Dr. Berkland explains.

SENECA, Mo. —
Seneca's wrestlers went through their usual drills at practice Tuesday in preparation for this week's MSHSAA Wrestling Championships at Mizzou Arena.
The Indians, who won the Class 1 district tournament at Versailles, have three returning state medalists among their nine qualifiers.
Cole Lankford, a senior at 126 pounds, is a three-time state qualifier who placed fifth at 120 in Class 2 last season. Jalen Skaggs, a senior at 152, is a two-time state qualifier who placed fourth at 152 in Class 2 a year ago.
Lankford and Skaggs are the only seniors in Seneca's lineup. "We only have three kids in the room who have state tournament experience," said head coach Jeff Sill. "They're going to have to shake off the butterflies. We compete in big tournaments all year long."
Will Roark, who was runner-up at 113 in Class 2 last year as a freshman, enters the tournament with a career record of 105-4.
Seneca's first-time state qualifiers are Quentin Cotten, a freshman at 113; Jesse Rhoades, a freshman at 132; Ryker Skelton, a junior at 170; Jeff Butler, a junior at 182; Dylan West, a sophomore at 195, and Devin Madison, a junior at 220.
The Indians, ranked No. 2 in Class 1, face difficult assignments in the first round. Cotten is up against Caleb Osborn of Lathrop, a junior who was ranked fourth at 120 before he moved down a weight class.
Skelton drew top-ranked Whitfield's Andrew McLaughlin, who is ranked No. 2 at 170. West will face Justin Hicks of Polo, ranked No. 1 at 195, and Madison will face Josh Riggs of Maysville, ranked No. 2 at 220.
"What we told our kids is everybody is 0-0," Sill said. "You're in a 16-man bracket. You're going to have to beat them somewhere, whether it's the first round or the second round.
"We talked about keeping the right frame of mind," he said. "If something unexpected happens, we need to regroup and keep a positive frame of mind. You can't feel sorry for yourself. You have to finish as high as you can from that point.
"We're not going to score points just because we have nine guys. We're going to have to win matches."

Walnut plans to get a jump start on the celebration of the upcoming Chinese New Year.
The Sing Tao Chinese New Year Festival comes to Creekside Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, ushering in the year of the snake.
Admission to the event, organized by the Sing Tao Daily newspaper, the Chinese-American Parents Association of the Walnut Valley Unified School District, and the city of Walnut, is free.
The festival will feature live entertainment, a dumpling making contest, a pet idol competition, an animal adoption event, and a K-9 showcase. Organizers plan to have both a food court and gourmet food trucks.
"I think it will be a very good event for the entire family," Mayor Mary Su said.
Chinese New Year officially comes on Feb. 10.
The dates of the holiday change every year on the Chinese calendar, which is based on solar and lunar goings on, according to a Huffington Post Canada article. The traditional calendar is used for major Chinese holidays.
More than a billion and a half people worldwide celebrate Chinese New Year, the website reported. The Year of the Snake is the halfway mark of the 12 Chinese astrological signs.
At a Walnut City Council meeting earlier this month, the city honored Sing Tao Daily, in part for its sponsorship of the festival each year. U.S. Rep. Ed Royce, R-Fullerton, presented Sau Kit Cheung, chief executive officer of Sing Tao, with a certificate of a appreciation along with the council members.
"It's a tremendous Chinese New York festival that your organize in this community," Royce said.
Councilman Eric Ching lauded the media company for sponsoring the festival for four years.
"This is enjoyed not by just our residents but residents from Covina, West Covina, Rowland Heights, even as far as Alhambra," he said. "People want to travel here and enjoy our festival."
Chinese New Year officially comes on Feb. 10.
Cheung said through an interpreter that Sing Tao's hope with the festival is that it brings a diverse community together.
"People coming to the festival (are) not only Chinese but also people from other (ethnicities)," he said. "We would like to see all of the (ethnic groups) in the community have more chances to get together. We hope we can organize more events of this kind in the future and let people in the community have more fun together and communicate."

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Two local hospitals will receive money from the Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program, according to an announcement made by Governor Pat Quinn Thursday
Governor Quinn announced that $4.7 million in investments to hospitals in central and eastern Illinois, part of $24.3 million in the Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program to address the critical needs of downstate health care institutions. The investments include funds to local hospitals including Shelby Memorial Hospital and Pana Community Hospital. The announcement follows Governor Quinn's recent signing of a law that enacted the largest increase in health insurance coverage in state history, one of the Governor's 2013 legislative priorities.
Pana Community Hospital will receive $172,385.
"Pana Community Hospital was fortunate to be the recipient of one of these Capital Investment Program Grants and we will use the money to help cover the cost of our investment in an electronic medical record system," stated Trina Casner, President and CEO of Pana Community Hospital.
Casner was one of several hospital administrators who attended the event.
"On behalf of Pana Community Hospital and the patients that it serves, I would like to thank the Governor for releasing these critically important funds. Programs like the Capital Investment Program bring much needed funds to Illinois hospitals. Especially those like Pana Community Hospital which serves a rural area where generating extra funds for capital investments can be difficult," stated Casner who spoke at the event.
Shelby Memorial Hospital will receive $178,325 toward IT upgrades.
"This is actually the second half of the grant," said SMH Chief Financial Officer Phil Miller. "The first part was disbursed in June 2012. The grant is a multi-year program."
Miller said last year's disbursement was to upgrade the wireless network and the physician's documentation system. This year's disbursement will be used to finish the physician's documentation system, purchase new equipment for the emergency department, mobile computing devices to improve deliver of care and safety of medicine delivery.
So far under Governor Quinn's Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program, hospitals have received $150 million to address their critical health care needs.
"It is crucial that hospitals have the most modern facilities and equipment to serve the health care needs of Illinois residents," said Governor Quinn. "These investments will create good constuction jobs while helping central and eastern Illinois hospitals provide better service and treatment to their patients."
Other area hospitals receiving grant money include Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Coles County, and Decatur Memorial and St. Mary's Hospitals in Macon County.

RALEIGH — At least two Triangle-based groups The Catholic Diocese of Raleigh and the Philippine-American Association of North Carolina are collecting donations that will go toward relief in areas hit by Typhoon Haiyan.
The Catholic Diocese will take an extra collection for Catholic Relief Services, which already has members on the ground in the Philippines distributing aid and materials, said diocese spokesman Frank Morock.
Bishop Michael Burbidge has asked all parishes to take up a special collection on behalf of the survivors of the typhoon either this week or the week after, Morock said.
Morock said Catholic Relief Services is prioritizing immediate shelter, blankets, potable water, toilets, et cetera.
The bishop has called for prayer for survivors and victims of the typhoon, Morock said.
Roads and conditions are so bad that the diocese plans no trips from North Carolina. Morock has been communicating with a couple of people from the Philippines, where the storm is known as Typhoon Yolanda, and said, The communication is so bad, they dont even know how family, friends or relatives are doing. The impacted area is just in an upheaval.
The Philippine-American Association of North Carolina (PAANC), a nonprofit that has sent medical teams to the Philippines annually for 30 years, is taking donations for immediate help and planning a trip in January to provide aid to rural villages.
The association has set up an information page on its website, www.paanc.org, said the groups spokeswoman, Josie Spontak. Because it wants all donations to go to a relief fund, PAANC will not be processing donations through PayPal or another third-party groups, she said.
Spontak said the group will likely send much of the money it collects to the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) for relief in the Philippines.
The rest will go toward materials members will take on a trip to Cebu, Philippines, sometime in January. PAANC members will reach out specifically to rural areas that larger organizations often overlook, Spontak said.
The association will not send envoys any time soon, because of conditions in the country.
Its a mess, Spontak said. Food is scarce. Disease is rampant.
Spontak is from the Philippines, and has really strong ties that include 25 cousins and an uncle. She said with phone lines down, she does not know how things stand with her family.
I have no way of finding out if we even still have a home there, she said.

WATERTOWN, Mass. — The sounds were the most terrifying — the shots and the booms, the sirens and the whir of helicopter blades, and then, from time to time, the silence.
But as a very long Friday wore to a close, it was the sound of cheering and applause that surged through the streets of this small town.

MILLEDGEVILLE — Greensboro native Dennis Mize has been named to new administrator of the local Georgia War Veterans Home.
Mize holds a master's degree in psychology and his previous work experience derives from years of employment at Central State Hospital.
"I feel he will have a positive effect on the residents and the division as a whole," said Ernie Simons, director of Health and Memorials.
"His experience will bring a lot of knowledge, wisdom and resources that we can use here at the Georgia War Veterans Home," said Simons.
Although he is a native of Greensboro, Mize has planted family roots here in Milledgeville. Mize, his wife, and his six children all live in Milledgeville and attend Heartland Baptist Church.
According to Simons, residents and staff are both pleased with the move to bring the new administrator on board. James Armstrong, a resident, said he is impressed at Mize's immediate care and attention to bringing in more veterans and implementing new programs for the residents.
"The residents that I spoke with are optimistic about the new administration," said Armstrong. "He says that there are vacancies at the home and he is working on applications already to get the veterans that need to use the home here where they belong."
Simons said he is excited about what the future holds under Mize's leadership.
"I look forward to working with him and I can't wait to see the new programs that will come into the Georgia War Veterans Home under his administration," Simons said.
Mize said he is ready to apply his extensive knowledge about veteran care to the veterans' home in order to create a better environment for the residents.
"I want to use all the resources available to improve our resident's quality of life," said Mize in a release. "I want this home to be a place veterans want to come to."

Providing a tax break to developers to build on otherwise undesirable properties is a way to – in the end – generate tax revenue. But should a tax abatement plan be used at the former Foodtown site on Route 70 in Brick?
Some residents took aim at the option of entering into a so-called Payment in Lieu of Taxes, or PILOT, program with the township's chosen redeveloper of the former supermarket site at a township council meeting Tuesday which included an information session on the program.
The PILOT program is relatively self-explanatory: the redeveloper of a piece of land is exempt from traditional property taxes for a set period between 10 and 30 years, and instead makes an annual set payment to the municipality.
The option has upside and downside, according to those familiar with the practice. The pros of PILOT programs include making a blighted or undesirable site more attractive to a redeveloper, and keeping the revenue within the municipality, since the county would only receive 5 percent of the payment, rather than more than 20 percent on a traditional tax bill. The cons include the potential for the money to be directed only to the municipality instead of the local school district, despite the potential for more students to be added to local schools if the project is residential.
"Redevelopment projects often carry a greater risk and are more expensive to develop, so the PILOT encourages redevelopment," said Chuck Liebling, an attorney who represents Brick Township in redevelopment efforts. "They would pay less under a PILOT than regular property taxes."
According to Liebling, the dollar amount paid under a PILOT is calculated in two different ways when there are no bonds involved (there wouldn't be on the Foodtown project): The township can set the payment to represent a minimum of 10 percent of the annual gross revenues the project generates, or a minimum of 2 percent of total project costs.
Increases over the PILOT period are also usually worked in, said Liebling.
Last month, M&M Realty Partners, the site's redeveloper, requested the township council allow them to build 192 condominiums, about 70 rental units and 19,000 feet of commercial space at the site. The current redevelopment plan calls for a hotel and banquet facility to be built there.
M&M claims the hotel plan is not viable. The township council has not yet decided whether or not the redevelopment plan should be changed.
Liebling's estimates for the Foodtown project – under the newly proposed plan by M&M – include a $592,972 annual tax payment under the first option and approximately $1 million under the second option, assuming the project's cost is about $50 million. The first figure was estimated based on a combination of the commercial rental space, residential rental space and a formula based on the value of the condominiums.
Under traditional property taxes, however, the site would generate about $1.3 million per year, Liebling said, though that figure would have to be shared with the county and several other county taxing authorities, including the health department and library system.
The township can share its portion of the revenue generated under the PILOT with the local school district, though it is not required to do so. The township council would determine how much, if any, of the money would go toward the schools.
"It basically becomes a budget line item," said Liebling.
The subject of school districts missing out on potential tax revenue was the subject of a 2010 report by the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller. The report cited a "race to abate" by towns in order to attract development statewide, and warned that school districts often end up on the losing end of the deal.
School districts "lose out on the municipality's new wealth," the report said.
The report did acknowledge, however, that tax incentives have often worked to create jobs and revitalize communities that are struggling.
"Abatements should be granted only when the public at large will come out the winner," said Comptroller A. Matthew Boxer, in the report.
Business Administrator Scott Pezarras said the decision to use a PILOT program instead of simply charging traditional property tax rates is one of simple economics. If taxes are too high, a redeveloper may only be willing to pay a lower price for a lot, if he wants it at all. Further, a redeveloper may be less willing to take a chance on a project that a municipality would prefer.
"He has to make the project work financially," said Pezarras, of any redeveloper.
"The governing body has a fiduciary responsibility to represent the residents here," said John Zingis, a township resident who formerly served as a Point Pleasant Borough councilman. "We all own a piece of this parcel."
For resident George Scott, it's all about the numbers.
"If those taxes were, in effect, the way that they should be, the school board would be getting $628,355," he said. "The taxpayer is eating another $600,000, and we can't afford to do that. I don't want to be subsidizing M&M."
Some residents also doubted M&M's target price of about $300,000 for the condominiums on the site, or $1,625 monthly rental prices. In the first option presented by Liebling, the prices of the units could affect the PILOT amount.
"Who is going to rent an apartment over a store on Route 70 for $1,625 a month?" asked Kathy Erickson.
Liebling said he has not had any discussions with M&M on the prospect of a PILOT program.
Likewise, council members said they have not decided to change the redevelopment plan.
"As far as we're concerned, we have a development agreement in place right now," said Councilman Domenick Brando. "We can't stop them from coming in and asking us for changes, and that's all they did. Nobody is saying, 'we're going to be doing this.' They just came in and asked."

Markets - Regulatory Bodies & Rulings
33 pc independent directors on co boards Govt studying Irani panel proposal
Our Bureau
Mr J.J. Irani, Director, Tata Sons Ltd, flanked by Mr Anil K. Agarwal (left), Alternate President, Assocham, and Mr Jitesh Khosla, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Company Affairs, at a conference in the Capital on Saturday. Kamal Narang
New Delhi , Oct. 8
THE Ministry of Company Affairs is yet to firm up its views on the J.J. Irani Committee recommendations on the issue of board composition for listed companies.
Mr Jitesh Khosla, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Company Affairs, speaking at a conference organised by Assocham on `Going Global with Mergers and Acquisitions' here on Saturday, said the Government is considering the Irani Committee suggestion of one-third (33 per cent) independent directors on the boards of listed companies. While the Irani Committee had recommended 33 per cent representation of independent directors on the board of listed companies, the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) revised Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement stipulates that listed companies, with an executive chairman, should have 50 per cent independent directors. Mr Khosla added that if listed companies want to have 50 per cent independent directors on their boards, they were welcome to do so.
The Irani Committee, while prescribing the minimum number of independent directors on a company's board, has left it up to the sector regulator to decide the maximum limit.
Mr Khosla said the consultation process on the draft Companies Bill would end on Saturday, and the Ministry would then concentrate on giving final touches to the Bill to ensure that it is passed in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament.
Simultaneously, the Government was working on the amendments to the Competition Act, so that commercial and business interests of Indian companies are protected to the extent that no legal implications arise, when such entities acquire cross-border mergers, he said.
Earlier at the inaugural session, Dr J.J. Irani, Director, Tata Sons, said the report on new company law tried to simplify the existing norms to make them more investor-friendly.

First, what is a meme? Basically, a meme on the Web is a phenomenon, fad, sensation, rumor, or oddity that gets passed around quickly to large numbers of people; this can be via email, word of mouth, blogs, Web sites, chat, pretty much any kind of Web communication.
As we close the chapter on the first decade of the 00's, it's time to look back on the top memes on the Web these past ten years. Here are the top 20 Web memes that you've probably seen in one form or another somewhere on the Web; some are funny, some are weird, but they're all wildly popular.
1. Dancing Baby
The infamous Dancing Baby actually first got its start way back in 1996 with an email that was passed around to literally millions of people. Once the Dancing Baby made his (or her?) way onto the popular show "Ally McBeal", its place in Web meme history was assured.

Question for any of you guys that have competed:
When you attend a meet, do you have to be a member of the federation putting it on? I was checking out the upcoming meets in Michigan because I'd like to try and compete in at least 1 before I turn 20 since I'd still be in the teen class. A couple I was looking at were put on by the ADFPF, and on one of the online forms for the meet it said you must be a member of the ADFPF to compete. Are all events like this, or only some? I'm curious, because there's many different federations, how do you attend multiple meets a year if they're put on by different groups? Just sign up for every group?
One more quick question. May a stupid one, but I've never been to a comp. so I have no clue. Michigan Championships are in April and I'd like to go watch just to see what it's like. Anybody can go watch a comp, right? I'm not worried about a door fee, I'm just not sure who all can attend. If some places are small I could see only allowing competitors and a few guests allowed to go.
Best lifts: 615/475/660, Raw w/ Wraps
Most feds have a membership fee ( SLP is the only one I can think of that does not ) Just join the day of.
Anyone can go watch a meet. Go to every meet you can even if it is to just watch. It is fun to watch and you might learn something!
pain is inevitable suffering is optional

August 5, 2010Yesterday (August 4), U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn Walker single-handedly overturned California's Prop. 8, which elevated protection for one-man, one-woman marriage to its state constitution.
In doing so, he frustrated the express will of seven million Californians who went to the polls to shape their state's public policy on marriage.
Since marriage policy is not established anywhere in the federal Constitution, defining marriage, according to the 10th Amendment, is an issue reserved for the states. Judge Walker never should have accepted this case in the first place.
Under Judge Walker, it's no longer "We the People," it's "I the Judge."
In addition, Judge Walker is an open homosexual, and should have recused himself from this case due to his obvious conflict of interest.
What can be done?
Fortunately, the Founders provided checks and balances for every branch of government, including the judicial branch. Federal judges hold office only "during good Behaviour," and if they violate that standard can be removed from the bench.
Judge Walker's ruling is not "good Behaviour." He has exceeded his constitutional authority and engaged in judicial tyranny.
Judges are not, in fact, unaccountable. They are accountable to Congress, which can remove them from office.
Impeachment proceedings, according to the Constitution, begin in the House of Representatives. It's time for you to put your congressman on record regarding the possible impeachment of Judge Walker.
Take ActionEmail your representative today and urge him to launch impeachment proceedings against Judge Vaughn Walker for his outrageous ruling against natural marriage.
Email your representative today and urge him to launch impeachment proceedings against Judge Vaughn Walker.

You have to be buzzed in at Verdigris (1001 N.W. 10th; 602-8986), which makes me feel very posh. (Although, I think it has more to do with the up-and-coming location than keeping out the proletariat.)

Best buys
Jenny Coon Peterson
Add the fact that I was finally free to decorate my own space (no more lavender carpet and paint-splatter wallpaper last popular in 1989!), and I quickly turned into a decorating machine. Except I never had any money, meaning that "decor" was mainly on-sale finds consisting solely of little keepsake boxes and tiny frames. Otherwise known as junk.

Passing the retail torch
Shopgirl waves 'adios'.
Jenny Coon Peterson
This is my 222nd ShopGirl column and my last. (Tear.)
Wednesday, October 19, 2011
Is this thing on?
::clears throat::
Jenny has passed her vibrant and quirky torch to me, as you may have already heard.
I'm your new resident ShopGirl, and I'll do my best to keep you sweeties up-to-date on all things local and must-go.
First things first, right? I'm Jenn. I grew up on a dairy farm where I milked cows every day.
I was also charged with gathering the eggs from the henhouse. The whole milking cow thing was OK, but the feat of egg gathering was a daily strain that spiked an unnatural amount of fear in my being. Why, you say? Well, have you ever
looked at a chicken in its beady eyes?
If you've done so and lived to speak of it, then I can only assume you are a soulless fowl constituent who secretly leads a double life in a colony of birds. You probably meet bimonthly and discuss the demise of me and other feather-fearing humans.
Right, more about me ... I'm a cold weather fan. And by fan I mean that I'm obsessed with snow and rain. Pictured below: My first boyfriend and I.
You might be thinking, How in the world did this gal with an Oklahoma-farmer background come to write about city-centric shopping? Well, if we're being honest, it's always been in the stars for me.
I'm incredibly drawn to all things beautiful, and I'm open to the idea that perception plays into each person's idea of beauty. That being said, I'll do my best to provide you lot with a wide variety of options, as well as the tools to search out and build your own personal style. Do you have your own person style mantra? If not, get to work on that!
It's really an exciting time in the fashion world, mainly because the idea of style has taken root, grown and returned to an industry that had begun to drift in a less-than-approachable direction. Style is now saying, "Hey! No one wants to wear that!" The idea of buying into trends because they are fashionable is slipping away (thankfully!), and the freedom to be creative and personal with your style choices is settling in comfortably as the fashionable front-runner.
Anyway, I want to hear from you. What do YOU want help shopping for? If you've got ideas for, or if you have specific questions concerning fit (Can't find the right pair of jeans? Let me know ... I know a guy! Want to know where to shop for the highest-quality workwear that won't break your bank? Turns out I've a penchant for penny pinching sidled along my budget-breaking tastes.), please send them my way. Email me at email@example.com. Together, we'll be the snazziest metro in the Midwest. Let's shop, OKC!

No need to order gifts from the North Pole this year.
Jenn Scott
If you're like me, you've got at least three family members who are basically impossible to shop for. You've named constellations after them, certificate included. You've ordered unique, expensive European treasures to ensure the gift's authenticity. I'm sure they don't mean to be, but bugger, they're hard to shop for!

Work it
Jenn Scott
The wide world of working out oftentimes can be a little intimidating. Between the 'roid-raging beefcakes pumping steel bars loaded with tractor tires and the scantily clad vixens with the perfect high pony and zero cellulite, even the thought of a gym can be enough of a workout for one day.

Bring the bling
Jenn Scott
Back in January, I made a New Year's resolution to wear more jewelry. Sounds silly, I know. While I might have most things together, fashionably speaking, accessorizing by way of jewelry has never been my strong suit.

An early and intense flu season is putting Suffolk residents on edge, with many scrambling to find a flu shot as supplies dwindle.
It's exactly what County Executive Steve Bellone is urging locals to do.
"It's not too late to get your flu shot," County Executive Bellone said in a statement. "This isn't just about protecting yourself, getting a flu shot is about protecting your family and those closest to you."
According to Google's map of flu trends across the country, New York is in the grips of an "intense" flu season and The Centers for Disease Control has credited it with causing the death of 18 children across the country.
The CDC also said this year's vaccine is a good match for the flu strains that affecting people, and added that it's crucial that children over six months old get immunized.
"Most people who become infected with the flu will suffer with fever, congestion, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches over the course of a week or two and will eventually recover completely, said the County's Health Commissioner James Tomarken. "However, some are at greater risk for serious complications that can lead to hospitalization or even death. The good news is that immunization can help protect us from the flu."
On Friday, many local pharmacies ran very low ont he vaccines, with others running out completely.
"Due to high demand caused by the early outbreak of influenza, some of our locations may experience intermittent, temporary shortages of flu vaccine, but we still have vaccine in stock and we resupply our pharmacies and clinics as quickly as possible," Mike DeAngelis, public relations director for CVS pharmacies, told Patch.
The CDC also offered the following tips:
- Flu vaccines are offered in many locations, including doctors' offices, clinics, local health centers, pharmacies, college health centers and places of business.
- Though this year's flu vaccine has shown to be 62 percent effective, some people may still get the flu; however, their symptoms will be milder than if they had not received the vaccine.
- Students and adults should stay home from school or work if they develop influenza-like illness, such as fever, congestion, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches lasting a week or two.
- If you do get sick, wash hands often and cover your coughs and sneezes. It's best to use a tissue and quickly throw it away. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands. This will prevent the spread of germs.
- Get plenty of rest and drink a lot of fluids.
- Individuals who are particularly vulnerable to complications from influenza should seek medical attention at the first signs of illness. This includes adults over 65 years of age, young children, pregnant women, those with diabetes, heart disease, neurological conditions, or chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and those who are severely obese.
County to Host Community Policing Forum
Bellone this week also announced a community policing forum to take place on Jan. 14, at 6 p.m., at the Brentwood Public Library.
Panelists will include Maryann Slutsky, moderator and executive director of Long Island WINS; Beresford Adams, pastor Faith Baptist Church of Coram and president of Brookhaven NAACP; Gregory Maney, professor of sociology and co-director for Hofstra University's Center for Civic Engagement; Suffolk County Police Department Chief James Burke; Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Suffolk County Police Department Risco Mention-Lewis; Assistant Deputy County Executive Errol Toulon Jr. and Luis Valenzuela, executive director of Long Island Immigrant Alliance.

As a family-owned real estate firm that specializes in neighborhood shopping centers, DNA Partners has found the Triangle an ideal market for its investing strategy.
The Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.-based company focuses on growing markets with strong demographics, which DNA partner David Weinstein says looks like this in the Triangle:
Young people that are moving out of the North and moving to the South. People who are retiring. People deciding to start a family and career. Youve got government that is building infrastructure. Youve got schools that are coming up. Youve got a community of people that are excited to be here.
Or, to put it another way, the Triangle looks a lot like markets in Texas, where DNA already owns four shopping centers.
This week DNA, which is run by Weinstein and his sister Amy Stevens, made its second acquisition in the Triangle in the past three months, acquiring Greystone Village shopping center on Lead Mine Road in North Raleigh for $13.3 million, according to Wake County property records. In late May, the company paid $7.7 million for Hope Valley Square shopping center on Shannon Road in Durham.
DNA had earlier owned the Lynnwood Collection shopping center on Creedmoor Raleigh in Raleigh, which it sold in late 2010 after owning it for a little more than a year.
Weinstein said there are no plans to flip the companys recently acquired Triangle assets.
In the case of the Greystone, the plan is a long-term improvement just because we happen to love Raleigh, he said.
Greystone Villages anchor tenant is Food Lion, and all but one of the 85,665-square-foot centers retail spaces is leased, Weinstein said. DNA plans to make improvements to the centers parking lot, lighting and building façades and also to ramp up marketing and community outreach.
Weinstein said that means ice cream events, maybe a jazz band playing Wednesday nights in the courtyard, and a pumpkin patch at Halloween.
Although such personal touches may vary depending on the market and the tenant mix within each center, Weinstein said, DNA always tries to come up with novel ways to pull more shoppers in.
Our assets are not your typical Dicks Sporting Goods, he said. Were more part of the neighborhood, and thats why we need to be involved and hands-on.
As for DNAs focus on smaller-size retail centers, Weinstein said such places will always do well in markets where they are surrounded by vibrant neighborhoods.
People always need neighborhood centers where theyre going to go and get their nails done, grab a meal, he said.
DNA considers the Triangle to be part of a larger investment area that stretches to Charlotte and Charleston, S.C. With the regions demographics only getting better, the company is already looking for additional properties to acquire.
Were looking at another property in Raleigh, Weinstein said. Were looking at a couple in Charlotte, two in Charleston.

Encouraging Letter From My Sister
Carol | April 21, 2012
My sister and her husband were recently blessed with their first child – a darling baby daughter. My little niece is now about 2 1/2 months old. Yesterday, my sister sent me a very encouraging letter. She gave me permission to share excerpts with you. Here is a picture of Baby M.
"…I wanted to share some of my mothering experiences with you. I know it is largely due to your example and advice that I'm having such a wonderful first-time-mother experience. And the more I see the struggles of other first-time moms around me and on Facebook, the more thankful I am that I know better and have such a great support system."
"I'm so glad you encouraged me to more fully embrace sleep-sharing (once I was ready for it)… Whenever she's ready to eat at night, I perch myself against the foam wedges with my brest friend. She eventually nurses herself to sleep, and I continue to hold her for a while because she'll often stir a bit for one more little snack (and because I want to!). When we're ready to lie down, I lay her right next to me, and she squirms a bit so I put my arm around her back to roll her onto her side so we're face to face and her bottom is in the crook of my elbow and I pat her back. Sometimes in the night, if she's not actually touching me, she'll start to move her arms as if she were going to wake up, then she'll arch her back and wriggle her whole little body over until she touches me or my arm. Her eyes stay closed, and as soon as she touches me again, she immediately stops moving and goes back into a deeper sleep. I love it! The huge grins she gives me during a 4am diaper change and again when she wakes up for the day are also priceless."
"I am now completely confident in myself to enjoy this sleeping arrangement without any worry of not being aware of her in my sleep. I'm now convinced that the last couple months of pregnancy prepares a mother for sleeping with baby, because with that big belly, I couldn't roll over or move around in my sleep at all without waking up to help move my belly into a different position. So now I still don't move in my sleep without waking up enough to know where she is, and I have no fear of "rolling over on her" (as everyone else fears) or elbowing her, even when she tucks herself in right under my chin."
"And, to make nighttime even easier, she started nursing lying down! So now I don't even have to sit up or shuffle around grabbing the wedges until morning (because she won't nurse lying down if she's fully awake). It's been great!"
"I also appreciate your support in encouraging me to keep trying the sling. I probably wouldn't have given up on it forever, but it was discouraging that she seemed to hate it so much. But now that the weather is warmer and we don't need big jackets, it's been easier to start trying to plop her in the sling to go in a store or something rather than lug the carseat. So this past weekend was the first time we went to the mall since she was born. I just carried her in the sling and she was fine! And the other day when we had to go to the dr for dh, I put her in the sling to go in cuz there was no way I was carrying the carseat and dh couldn't, and she was fine the whole nearly 2 hour wait. She even went to sleep in the sling in the waiting room for the first time! And yesterday, she needed to be held, but I needed to make turkey soup, so I put her in the sling awake, and as I was preparing all the veggies, she soon drifted off! It made me very happy! So I'm very glad to have had your influence of carrying babies in slings and being able to do other things at the same time…"

Regional news coverage from the KBIA Newsroom, including:
Missouri U.S. Senator Roy Blunt briefly addressed the Missouri House Thursday.

Regional news coverage from the KBIA News room, including:
US Senator Claire McCaskill says President Barack Obama's budget, which was released Monday, is a workable document.
The Obama administration continues to come under fire for a rule that would make religious organizations cover contraceptives under employees' health care plans. A compromise announced on Friday has not placated the president's critics, including members of Missouri's congressional delegation.
Blunt's office said Friday that the 62-year-old Republican senator underwent "a routine and successful" outpatient medical procedure Thursday at George Washington University Hospital.
Missouri Senator Roy Blunt said he voted to lift a ban on funding horse meat inspections.
Missouri Republican Senator Roy Blunt took to the Senate floor Wednesday to speak out against President Barack Obama's proposed transportation measure.

If you plan to party on New Year's Eve, AAA has some sobering statistics for you to think about before drinking and driving.
Compared to all other days in 2012, New Year's Day had the highest percentage of deaths that occurred in crashes with a driver who had a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher, according to AAA spokesperson Bevi Powell.
AAA statistics show that 122 people were killed in crashes on New Year's Day 2012, and a little more than half of those crashes involved a drunk driver.
"If you plan to drink, absolutely don't drive," Powell said. "If you plan to drink, make sure to bring a friend who can drive you home."
Powell also cautioned against anyone getting into a car with a driver who has been drinking.
If you're hosting a New Year's Eve party, don't be afraid to take the keys from a friend or a family member who has had too much, she said.
"If you're having a get-together, make sure to be a responsible host. Don't let anyone get into their vehicles if they've been drinking."
Also, if you're driving and see someone who appears to intoxicated, Powell advises to keep a safe distance from him or her and have a passenger call 911 to notify authorities.
If you're in the Pittsburgh area and need a ride home, you can contact Yellow Cab Co. at 412-321-8100 or Classy Cab at 412-322-5080. The Pear Transportation Company in Pittsburgh also offers group rides and chauffeur services. Pear can be reached at 412-324-8000.

10 Least Expensive Public Medical Schools for In-State Students
The average annual cost of tuition and fees among these 10 medical schools is about $17,000.
The U.S. News Short List, separate from our overall rankings, is a regular series that magnifies individual data points in hopes of providing students and parents a way to find which undergraduate or graduate programs excel or have room to grow in specific areas. Be sure to explore The Short List: College and The Short List: Grad School to find data that matters to you in your college or grad school search.
While paying for medical school is rarely an easy or cheap feat, going the in-state, public school route in lieu of attending a private school could save students tens of thousands of dollars.
Of the 49 private medical schools that submitted tuition and fees data to U.S. News for the 2011-2012 school year, the average total cost was $45,870 per year. That average cost drops to $28,812 when looking at the costs of the 64 public schools that submitted in-state tuition and fees data.
The average cost among the 10 least expensive medical schools for in-state students was $16,937. Nine of the ten schools are among the top 75 programs in the U.S. News Best Medical Schools rankings, in either research or primary care.
Eastern Carolina University's Brody School of Medicine in Greenville, N.C., tops the list of least expensive public medical schools for in-state students, with a total annual cost of $12,644. Brody's cost is less than half the in-state average among public medical schools, and less than a third the average among private medical schools.
Texas residents have several options for attending an inexpensive medical school. Among the 10 least costly medical schools for in-state students, 5 are in the Lone Star State, at schools in Bryan, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Fort Worth.
[Check out the 10 least expensive private medical schools.]
The F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, a federal service postgraduate academy that charges $0 in tuition and fees in return for military service, was excluded from this list. Schools that were designated by U.S. News as Unranked also weren't considered for this report. U.S. News did not calculate a numerical ranking for Unranked programs because the program did not meet certain criteria that U.S. News requires to be numerically ranked.
Below is a table of the 10 least expensive public medical schools for first year, in-state students, based on tuition and required fees. The cost does not include room and board, books, and other miscellaneous costs:
|Medical school (name)
|In-state tuition & fees (2011-2012)
|U.S. News research rank
|U.S. News primary care rank
|East Carolina University (Brody)
|Texas A&M Health Science Center

|University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill
|University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
|University of Texas Health Science Center—San Antonio
|University of North Texas Health Science Center
|University of Massachusetts—Worcester
|University of New Mexico
|West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine
*RNP denotes an institution that is ranked in the bottom one fourth of its rankings category. U.S. News calculates a rank for the school but has decided not to publish it.
Don't see your school in the top 10? Access the U.S. News Medical School Compass to find tuition data, complete rankings, and much more.
U.S. News surveyed more than 140 medical schools for our 2011 survey of research and primary care programs. Schools self-reported a myriad of data regarding their academic programs and the makeup of their student body, among other areas, making U.S. News's data the most accurate and detailed collection of college facts and figures of its kind. While U.S. News uses much of this survey data to rank schools for our annual Best Medical Schools rankings, the data can also be useful when examined on a smaller scale. U.S. News will now produce lists of data, separate from the overall rankings, meant to provide students and parents a means to find which schools excel, or have room to grow, in specific areas that are important to them. While the data come from the schools themselves, these lists are not related to, and have no influence over, U.S. News's rankings of Best Colleges or Best Graduate Schools.

Q. At what point are police required to inform a suspect of their Miranda rights?
A. After a person has officially been taken into custody (detained by police), but before any interrogation takes place, police must inform them of their right to remain silent and to have an attorney present during questioning. A person is considered to be "in custody" anytime they are placed in an environment in which they do not believe they are free to leave. Example: Police can question witnesses at crime scenes without reading them their Miranda rights, and should a witness implicate themselves in the crime during that questioning, their statements could be used against them later in court.
Q. Can police question a person without reading them their Miranda rights?
A. Yes. The Miranda warnings must be read only before questioning a person who has been taken into custody.
Q. Can police arrest or detain a person without reading them their Miranda rights?
A. Yes, but until the person has been informed of his or her Miranda rights, any statements made by them during interrogation may be ruled inadmissible in court.
Q. Does Miranda apply to all incriminating statements made to police?
A. No. Miranda does not apply to statements a person makes before they are arrested. Similarly, Miranda does not apply to statements made "spontaneously," or to statements made after the Miranda warnings have been given.
Q. If you first say you don't want a lawyer, can you still demand one during questioning?
A. Yes. A person being questioned by the police can terminate the interrogation at any time by asking for an attorney and stating that he or she declines to answer further questions until an attorney is present. However, any statements made up until that point during the interrogation may be used in court.
Q. Can the police really "help out" or reduce the sentences of suspects who confess during questioning?
A. No. Once a person has been arrested, the police have no control over how the legal system treats them. Criminal charges and sentencing are totally up to the prosecutors and the judge. (See: Why People Confess: Tricks of Police Interrogation)
Q. Are police required to provide interpreters to inform deaf persons of their Miranda rights?
A. Yes. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires police departments receiving any form of federal assistance to provide qualified sign interpreters for communication with hearing impaired persons who rely on sign language. The Department of Justice (DOJ) Regulations pursuant to Section 504, 28 C.F.R. Part 42, specifically mandate this accommodation. However, the ability of "qualified" sign interpreters to accurately and complete explain the Miranda warnings to deaf persons is often questioned. See: Legal Rights: The Guide for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People from the Gallaudet University Press.
