NORMAN — Camp Fire Heart Oklahoma youth start off the new year a little sweeter. Camp Fire youth members began the annual candy sale on Friday.
Customers can donate money to send candy to members of the armed forces, both regionally and overseas. Last year, Camp Fire donated several boxes of candy to members of the armed services, including those at Fort Sill.
"The soldiers at Fort Sill were thrilled with the candy," said Debbie Laukat, a Blue Star Mothers volunteer. "But they had to run laps after eating it all."
Customers may purchase candy for themselves or donate candy to our armed forces through several designated site sales at retail locations. Candy for sale includes Almond Roca, Smoothå Mint Patties, Caramel Almond Clusters, Trail Mix and P'Nuttles. Additionally, Caramel Whirls, Chocolate Covered Almonds and Milk Chocolate Almond Bars will be for sale. Candy ranges from $2 to $5. The sale ends Feb. 18.
By selling candy, youth members can earn credit toward Camp Fire Heart of Oklahoma's summer camp at Camp DaKaNi.
Site sale information will be posted and updated on Facebook throughout the sale. To view the listings and updates, like the Camp Fire Heart of Oklahoma Facebook page.

Bringing Evolutionary Science to the Community
Center promotes Darwin Day to inspire next generation of scientists.
By Marlene Cimons, National Science Foundation
Last year, Jory Weintraub, assistant director for education and outreach at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center, sent teams of scientists to America's heartland to mark Charles Darwin's birthday. The idea was to bring evolutionary science to schools that weren't likely to have the same access to resources as their counterparts in large cities.
The outcome of their school visits in Virginia, Iowa, Nebraska and Montana was a positive one. This year, they are preparing to do it again. In just a couple of weeks, to honor Darwin's 203rd birthday Feb. 12, the biologists will be hitting the road in a repeat performance, this time to Oregon, Washington, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia and Louisiana. The scientists will speak to students, teachers and the general public about their research, and talk about careers in evolutionary biology; most important, they will try to convey why evolutionary science is relevant to everyone.
"Our goal is not to talk about any kind of perceived concepts about evolution, religion or creationism, but to talk about the exciting things that are going on in evolutionary science," says Allen Rodrigo, the director of the center. "We want to encourage students to think about being scientists, and being scientists interested in evolution."
The Darwin Day Roadshow is only one of many activities of the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center, which began in 2004 and is jointly operated by Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, with funding from the National Science Foundation. Currently, NSF supports the center with about $5 million annually.
The goal of the center is to address emerging or novel questions in evolutionary science and its applications by supporting research and education across disciplinary, institutional, geographic and demographic boundaries. "Evolution tells us stories about where we come from," Rodrigo says.
Schools interested in hosting the visiting scientists for Darwin Day apply to the center, which takes great care in its advance preparations to avoid controversy. At the same time, the visiting teams strive to expose students to evolution information that is well-grounded in science.
"I did get a couple of questions based on common misperceptions, for example, 'why did Darwin say we came from monkeys?' (What he said, in fact, was that humans and monkeys shared a common ancestor)," Weintraub says. "In those instances, I simply responded to clarify the misconception, and the students seemed very responsive and accepting of the answer."
The teachers were equally supportive, demonstrating "amazing initiative in planning activities for their students, colleagues and communities," Weintraub says. "I was really blown away by the effort they put forth. One teacher took it upon himself to contact a local science center/museum, and set up an entire event, at which our scientists spoke, to which he invited science teachers from several surrounding counties, including one or two in a neighboring state."
Several dozen science teachers from eastern Iowa and western Illinois listened to an evening of evolution, he says, adding: "The high school I visited in Virginia ordered a large birthday cake that read 'Happy Birthday Darwin,' and at the end of our presentations, we shared Darwin birthday cake with all of the students and teachers."
Among its other education/outreach activities, center scientists travel to developing nations to teach evolution. "We see youngsters who have such potential, but don't have the resources," Rodrigo says. "That's the saddest part, trying your best to energize and enthuse them about getting into science, but knowing that because of their circumstances, it will be difficult."
Although center researchers are studying issues related to the natural sciences, they also are examining evolution and evolutionary processes as they apply to other areas, such as the social sciences, economics, and literature, to name a few.

Y-12's SWEIS on ice -- for now
I'm not sure if the National Nuclear Security Administration is being overly cautious in carrying out environmental regs, bureaucratic or obstinate, but whatever the case the federal agency refused to get specific about plans to release the Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement for Y-12.
When asked about the status of the SWEIS and when the final report would be released, NNSA spokesman Steven Wyatt said it is "expected to be issued in Fall 2010." Considering that we're nearing the end of August, a month from autumn's beginning, that seemed awfully vague. When pushed for a more specific timeframe, Wyatt responded, "Fall 2010 is as specific as we can be on the SWEIS."
Preparation of the document began years ago, got delayed for a long while so the Dept. of Energy could do a programmatic EIS for the weapons complex, and then resumed in 2009 to provide the impact evaluations needed for the proposed multi-billion-dollar Uranium Processing Facility at Y-12.
Public hearings on the draft SWEIS were held last November and comments were received through January. The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance has objected to UPF plans, saying the draft SWEIS did not include such things as the construction of a haul road and disruption of wetlands near Y-12.
In his e-mail response to questions, Wyatt said, "The SWEIS has been updated to include a wetlands assessment and responses to comments received on the assessment."
In July, OREPA submitted lengthy comments on the wetlands issue and again called for a public hearing on issues now covered under the earlier draft document.

Washington, DC—The following is a statement from American Association for Justice CEO Jon Haber in response to a new U.S. Chamber of Commerce report on securities class-actions:
"Securities class-actions hold corporations accountable and prevent them from deceiving shareholders. Groups like the U.S. Chamber would have more credibility if they were as adamant about eliminating white collar crime as securities class-actions."
Other Facts to Consider
According to the 2008 Corporate Task Fraud Report, "Since July 2002, the Department of Justice has obtained nearly 1,300 corporate fraud convictions. These figures include convictions of more than 200 chief executive officers and corporate presidents, more than 120 corporate vice presidents, and more than 50 chief financial officers." (http://www.usdoj.gov/dag/cftf/corporate-fraud2008.pdf)
According to SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, the string of accounting failures at companies such as Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, and Tyco cost U.S. households nearly $60,000 each on average as some $5 trillion in market value was lost (Associated Press, 11/14/2002).

Solid-state storage has carved out a niche in the storage ecosystem, establishing itself as a viable alternative for high-performance applications.
Solid-state disk is, of course, nothing of the sort. Whereas a disk is a round, flat object, solid-state storage is really just memory chips. That may seem like a silly semantic distinction, but it's actually important to bear that in mind when architecting a data access solution. Solid-state drives (SSDs), also referred to as flash memory and flash cache, have more in common with memory -- specifically cache memory -- than with spinning hard disk drives (HDDs). Although SSDs are commonly deployed "behind the storage-area network (SAN)" and provisioned as part of the total storage pool, they behave like large repositories of cache. That's important to consider when designing solid-state storage into a storage solution.
SSD chip technologies
Three solid-state storage technologies dominate the market today: single-level cell (SLC), multi-level cell (MLC) and enterprise multi-level cell (eMLC). This may seem like an "inside baseball" discussion, but you'll need to understand the different SSD technologies (just as you do with HDD technologies) to make the appropriate deployment choice.
MLC is currently the most prevalent consumer-grade solid-state storage, whereas most enterprise-class products are built around SLC. MLC offers a significantly lower price point on a per-GB basis but
Enterprise MLC is a newer technology gaining traction in the industry. With an estimated life of 20,000 to 30,000 write cycles, eMLC reaches a middle ground both in price and life span between SLC and MLC. Nimbus Data Systems Inc. has committed to eMLC technology, using it in all its data storage products while other vendors are still using SLC. To avoid write-related lifespan and degradation issues, Nimbus's controller software has "wear-leveling" capabilities and aligns write blocks with flash cells. Nimbus also offers a five-year warranty for those concerned with product longevity.
Server-based solid-state storage
Another emerging technology trend is toward host-based solid-state storage delivered as PCI Express (PCIe) cards for insertion directly into the host. Fusion-io Inc., LSI Corp., Texas Memory Systems Inc. and Viking Modular Solutions all offer PCIe solid-state products. Although provisioned like storage, host-based solutions behave very much like cache. Being "in front" of the SAN has the advantage of avoiding network latency for read operations, yet data can be pre-positioned using automated storage tiering (AST) technologies, depending upon the array vendor's capabilities. On the flipside, it's subject to host failure so storage managers should ensure the PCIe solid-state storage is properly data protected through RAID, mirroring or clustering.
EMC Corp. is joining the fray and has announced its "Project Lightning," which is its first PCIe host-based storage product (scheduled for availability later in 2011). This product will be fully accessible using EMC's Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST) software so that it works seamlessly with EMC's arrays across the SAN. The initial product will be based on SLC technology to maximize the longevity, performance and reliability of the device.

How to Stay Off the Layoff List
If you want to keep your job, find ways to be invaluable.
If you have a job--and, statistically, it's likely you do--chances are you want to hold on to it. The obvious way is to be excellent at your work, to really know what you're doing. But guess what? That's not enough.
You also need to:
Be über-reliable. The trick to über-reliability is the ability to accurately predict how long it will take you to complete a task. That way when you say you'll deliver on Tuesday, you'll actually be capable of delivering on Tuesday.
Be outer-directed. Communicate in ways others can understand. Consider the needs of your coworkers and boss, and take the time and trouble to meet these needs. Oh, and don't sweat the small stuff.
Be commonsensical. Very often, getting a task done on time--even if it means it's done less than perfectly--is preferable to missing a deadline. Part of being a stellar worker is knowing when this is the case.
Be bottom-line-oriented. Even (especially!) if your role is not directly related to the company's sales, strive to have an impact on "the numbers." No matter your position, you can always suggest ways to save money, resources, or time.
All of the above is really just another way of saying, "Act like you own the place." Not in the sense that you throw your weight around or bark out orders, but that you are always thinking of the larger picture, the common good.
Do this and you will be invaluable.

Columbia High School's Shakespeare Festival Club began the year with romance, angst and death -- all played out in teacher Steve MacPherson's classroom on a recent Thursday afternoon.
"Mr. Mac," as MacPherson is known, leads the annual festival, which is a club at CHS.. He served as consultant this summer to first-time director Brandon Wright.
Wright heads the first-ever all African-American production of Antony and Cleopatra at Chernuchin Theater at American Theater of Actors in Manhattan. In return, Wright brought in some of the cast members, including CHS alum Uton Onyejekwe.
To a spellbound group of some 50 students and numerous adults, the cast performed brief scenes from the tragedy, which Wright described as "the most tragic love story of all time."
"It's also relevant now," said Wright of the play, set in classical times. "It's about absentee leaders during wartime, people who fall in love with a bang and turn away from their responsibilities."
After watching, it was the students' turn to perform. Each cast member gathered a group of students and coached them through exercises and a scene. As the students giggled and then performed, Wright watched with satisfaction.
"It's stage magic," he said, as the classroom was taken over by Shakespeare. "It works every time, so come see the show."
Tickets are now on sale for the performances beginning this month.

Remember those golden days when President Obama said one of the ways he intended to "fundamentally transform America" was to make sure "everyone plays by the same rules"?
Uh, never mind, especially when it comes to his signature legislative achievement, the hilariously misnamed Patient Protection Affordable Care Act, better known as "ObamaCare."
Since it passed — so that, as former House speaker Nancy Pelosi famously said, "we can find out what's in it" — what most of America has found out is that it doesn't matter all that much what is in it. What matters is what the president says about it.
And that varies dramatically, depending on whether you are among groups the president favors, or are a member of or work for the real 1 percent of American privilege — Congress.
Early on, it was about waivers — more than 1,300 of them granted to various corporations and unions, including outdoor equipment retailer REI, whose then "progressive" president and CEO Sally Jewell had appeared with the president in 2009 to help him sell a law whose provisions she then got permission to avoid. Jewell was rewarded for that support not only with a waiver for REI — since April she has been Secretary of the Interior.
More recently, it was about the president unilaterally suspending the employer mandate — something he doesn't have the constitutional authority to do, but did anyway, with little pushback from Congress or the public in general. That move was nakedly political — it has little to do with sympathy for those employers and much more to do with his hope that it will insulate his party from a train wreck in next year's midterm elections.
And now it is about full-out exemptions for members of Congress and their personal staffs. This is a Congress that takes its cue from the infamous hotelier Leona Helmsley — the rules are just for the "little people" to follow.
The administration, with help from both parties in Congress, has been trying to keep it under the radar — you know, so the little people won't get restive — but on the inside there is a bare-knuckled brawl over it.
It probably never would have been a problem for the ruling class if it hadn't been for those lousy Republicans — you know, the ones who want to hurt the poor and middle class — who, way back in 1995, were able to push through the Congressional Accountability Act to fulfill one of the promises made in the Contract with America, that members of Congress should live by the same civil-rights employment and labor laws that lawmakers forced on everybody else. Sounds a lot like "everybody plays by the same rules."
Then, in 2009, during the debate over ObamaCare, another Republican, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, was able to insert an amendment that required all members of Congress and their staffs to get insurance through the ObamaCare health exchanges — like everybody else.
But, as the due date for joining health exchanges approached, the firestorm struck Capitol Hill. The consensus of employment lawyers was that the $5,000 to $10,000 federal health-insurance subsidies for those on the Congressional payroll would have to end.
So, last month, the president quietly rode to the rescue during the August recess, ordering the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to interpret the law in direct conflict with that legal consensus, and let those subsidies continue.
This would make members of Congress and their personal staffers the only participants in the ObamaCare exchanges to get subsidies from their employer (paid by you, the taxpayer).
The legality of this is, to put it charitably, dubious. The law, as written, does not "permit either exchange contributions or a unilateral bump in Congressional pay in return for less overall compensation," the Wall Street Journal noted.
And that launched the current mud-smeared battle. Sens. David Vitter, R-La., and Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., filed a bill to end that exemption, not just for Congress but also for White House officials and political appointees in the executive branch. Vitter demanded a floor vote on it.
You'd think that Democrats in general, and the president in particular, would be applauding such a move. After all, it's about that solemn promise to make sure "everyone plays by the same rules."
But you would be wrong. The response from Democrats has been one of outrage and spite. According to Politico, several Democratic senators are pushing for legislation that would deny federal health subsidies to any member who votes for Vitter's bill, even if it fails.
There is also a draft of a bill circulating that would deny a subsidy to any legislator or aide who had sought to solicit a prostitute. How is that relevant? Well, you see, in 2007, Vitter's phone number was among those found in the records of the "D.C. Madam," owner of a prostitution ring.
Vitter publicly apologized for what he called a "serious sin," rather than argue over what the meaning of "is" is. But when an exemption from ObamaCare is at stake, he is obviously a legitimate target for any past indiscretion, even though you can be certain that if President Bill Clinton's sexual past ever gets brought up by Republicans, they will be accused of being part of the "Republican smear machine."
The president needs to amend his promise. His goal is an administration in which his friends get to play by different rules.

Our 2nd-storey condo overlooks the dunes, beach, and ocean, with great vistas from the master bedroom as well as the living and dining area. But the best vantage point is our breezy balcony, which invites you to enjoy the sun-kissed Florida air at all hours! Stretch out on our comfy, casual lounges and sunbathe, enjoy a frosty beverage, or simply watch the birds & the waves. This is heaven! Just inside from the balcony is the living room, elegantly appointed with a palm-frond ceiling fan and patterned carpet, as well as leather couch, easy chair, and huge HDTV. It's cozy and welcoming, perfect for a group night in with movies or music. Yet there are also views from two directions, so this room can be flooded with sunshine if you desire. A cheerful breakfast bar sits just past the living area, with padded café stools around an informal countertop table. The cook can always entice someone to sit down and do some chopping . . . and this space is a great place to set up the laptop and check the hours of your next sightseeing attraction. Whether you're planning to do a lot of cooking on this vacation or indulge your cravings for some of St. Augustine's best restaurants, you'll love the kitchen at Coquina 214. The major appliances are all stainless steel, the countertops are granite, the cabinets are custom-built, and the equipment is stellar: all the pots, pans, utensils, dishes, and flatware you need to prepare and serve just about anything! Whether you're reheating last night's feast from Columbia Restaurant or whipping up a pitcher of drinks, you'll enjoy using this kitchen. And when the day draws to a close, everyone is guaranteed a great night's sleep in the 2 bedrooms at Coquina 214. The master suite is regal, with an ultra-comfortable queen-sized bed beside a long bank of windows that, if the plantation shutters are left open, reveals a gorgeous sunrise every morning. The en-suite master bath has been completely renovated, with pale tile, a walk-in shower, and granite-top vanity. You'll find all the towels, linens, blankets, and pillows you need for both bedrooms and baths waiting for you at Coquina 214, and are more than welcome to use our washer and dryer while you're here. All the comforts of home, and in such a gorgeous location! The 2nd bedroom contains 2 single beds, and has a snug, cozy décor accentuated by warm lamplight and rattan accessories. It's quiet and soothing in here, and the second full bathroom (also recently renovated!) is convenient to this room. The Coquina condominium complex is a very special place, and we know you're going to feel welcome and relaxed here. The Atlantic Ocean is on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway is on the other, so water views are the order of the day! Whether you're boating, golfing, beachcombing, or exploring, you will love the unspoiled natural feel of this part of the coast. Dolphins are frequent visitors, and manatees have been spotted as well. The sea and shore birds in this area are simply magnificent. And with all the walking and hiking trails, you'll never have to tread the same path twice! While you're here, you have access to all the amenities of the Coquina complex. The oceanfront pool has a wonderful vista, and there's a children's pool right beside it, so everyone can spend a day soaking up the sun and splashing in the water. Horseshoes, shuffleboard, tennis, and basketball are also on offer here, and there's a picnic area with gas grills and tables for casual al fresco dining. You'll love meeting our friendly neighbors and getting a feel for the local culture!

Police are searching for a man they believe held two people at gunpoint and raped a woman in her home near Collinsville.
Jerry D. Sutt, 50, of Madison is wanted on two counts of unlawful restraint and two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault.
Police believe that Sutt entered the home of an acquaintance in rural Collinsville Wednesday while armed with a handgun. He bound the two occupants, and sexually assaulted one of them.
The woman was transported to a St. Louis area hospital for medical treatment, where she was treated and released.
Sutt has "a considerable criminal history," according to police, with previous arrests on charges of resisting police officers, aggravated battery, domestic battery, assault and burglary.
Police are searching for Sutt, who is considered armed and dangerous. He is described as 6 feet tall, approximately 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
"He was armed with a firearm during this encounter and he knows we are looking for him," said Capt. Mike Dixon, of the Madison County Sheriff's Department. "We do not recommend anyone to approach him. If you see him, contact local law enforcement."
Anyone who knows of Sutt's whereabouts is asked to call the Madison County Sheriff's Department at 692-4433, the investigative division at 692-0871, or the anonymous tip line at 296-3000.
Madison County Circuit Court Judge James Hackett set Sutt's bail at $500,000.
Contact reporter Elizabeth Donald at email@example.com or 239-2507.

Streets Are for Cars
Every year the Springfield Police Department investigates many vehicle accidents that involve cars and pedestrians getting together in the roadway. Sometimes tragically these accidents involve children.
Streets and roads were designed for vehicles to travel on, not as walkways and playgrounds. We are seeing an increase in the number of families who have chosen to place their portable basketball goals so that the kids playing ball use the street as their basketball court. Besides being illegal this is a dangerous activity that could have horrible results.
Please keep the children from playing in the street and maybe we can keep someone from getting hurt.

Comments about Okidata® Printer Ribbon for ML420/421, ML490/ML491:
The self inking ribbon from Staples has proven to be the best one so far. I have tried using other brands, like generic, and they have all fallen short of this particular brand of ribbon. I was surprised to see such in increase in it's price but with this being the best ribbon available, it is definitely worth the little bit of extra money. I order this product in multiple quantities because when I run out, there is no other substitute. I would highly recommend this printing ribbon for any business who is still using a dot matrix printer.

Get a Leg Up on the Critics: Sample City Sicilian Before Morandi Opens
• Cacio e Vino
The East Village eatery got some love from Rob and Robin – the menu carries dishes you won't even find in far more expensive restaurants, and they're all spot-on. If you're in the mood for pizza, go for it, but don't neglect the pungent antipasti and the stuffed calzones called farciti. 80 Second Ave., nr. 4th St.; 212-228-3269

• Dani
Don Pintabona's Hudson Square outpost is one of the city's bastions of elevated Sicilian cookery. You can't go wrong with the basics: bucatine con sarde, house-cured meats, and octopus with parsley potatoes. Plus, the bar is nice for hanging out while you digest sardines. 333 Hudson St., at Charlton St.; 212-633-9333
• Joe's of Avenue U
Even the most dedicated foodies rarely venture out to the very edge of Gravesend in South Brooklyn. But this old-school, ultrafriendly place serves all the Sicilian specialties you could hope for, from the spleen-and-cheese sandwiches known as vesteddi to kick-ass caponata to the mother of all stuffed rice balls, loaded with meat and fresh ricotta from nearby Eagle Dairy. 287 Ave. U, nr. McDonald Ave., Gravesend, Brooklyn; 718-449-9285

I am in the throes of a new love affair. Or rather a rekindling with an old flame who never once let me down, who has always been there, even when it was I who'd walked away, turned my back. Stayed in bed and was either slovenly, too tired, or just spent beyond repair. But recently, I have arranged things so that I have this window of time, between 5 and 6 a.m. all to myself, and my constant companion – running. Morning running to be specific, as in telling the color of a person's eyes.
Daybreak running. When it's still dewy and overcast as the sun has not yet burnt through the thick layer of dense fog in the sky, nor has the run yet cleared the thick layer of heaviness in my mind.
Running seems to open things up, a stretch, a big yawn, a clearing. It's a bit like Liquid Drano to the brain, in that it clears out the cobwebs and what's clogged or stuck in there for me. It heats me up, all my limbs, elongates me, and takes me places further out, only to then return me back to myself again -- home base.
I often have elevated thoughts, or revelations while running. Ones which may seem tiny to another, but not to me. How to organize the day, like today, my twin sons Petros and Theodore have been begging to be taken for a frozen treat, Petros for frozen yogurt at the shiny new TCBY in West Simsbury, Theodore for ice cream proper, which is owed him after losing his first tooth. And I realized that I can take each while the other is in the back-to-back tutoring sessions I'd arranged for this afternoon with their teacher for next year. I was thrilled. I'd figured something out which would make the day easier.
I am also not alone when I run. I feel surrounded on this empty road, as no cars are out this early. Maybe the man who delivers the newspapers before or just after 6 a.m. Maybe someone headed early to work. There have been more bikers of late, as it's summer. They are mostly men, being their fantasy of Lance Armstrong, minus the doping charges. But there are birds catching breakfast, deer poking through the woods, crows pecking at some fuzzy, small corpse, and just the actuality of morning, it's own very real, specific to today, presence.
I think about how my babies are all asleep back home, heavily asleep, as I pound this lovely road, up and down; it's one long 2 or 2.5 mile shot out from our house, depending on my ambition, say if I want to actually touch foot onto 44 before turning back. So a total run of 4-5 miles to be had. A nice chunk to chew/tear up first thing.
I love it. What can I say? It feels almost spiritual. I feel more positive. I am getting this done early so I don't waste time or energy sorting out when I can run later. I shower only once! And just around the time my babies are all five waking, stumbling into our bathroom, and finding me damp, applying creams and products and combing my hair, it's a lovely sight to see them. I have thought through, lived though, and gotten my heart rate up through 40-50 minutes of sheer (personal) bliss. I have given myself the oxygen mask that I need so that I may now in turn help them with theirs. Because I have already been to the edge of morning, touched it, and am here to tell tale.

Donna A. Messner
Donna A. Messner is a Gordon Cain Fellow in Technology, Policy, and Entrepreneurship. She received a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies from the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom, in 2008. Her doctoral research was focused on processes of legal and regulatory oversight and innovation in the development of new therapies for serious and life-threatening diseases.
In 2006 Messner was also a visiting student at the School of Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology, with sponsorship from Policies for Research and Innovation in the Move toward the European Research Area (PRIME). For the past two years she has been a postdoctoral research fellow in the Penn Center for the Integration of Genetic Health Care Technologies in the University of Pennsylvania's Division of Medical Genetics. At Penn she has been investigating the socio-legal implications of direct-to-consumer genetic testing, as well as the history and impact of selected gene patents.
Messner also holds an M.Sc. by research in Science and Technology Studies from the University of Edinburgh, an M.A. in literature with a cultural-studies concentration from George Mason University, and an undergraduate degree in chemistry from Virginia Tech. Prior to pursuing a Ph.D., Messner had an 18-year career as an analytical chemist, laboratory manager, and environmental-project scientist.
While at CHF, Messner will explore the early history of so-called medical foods. The term medical food refers to a nutritional product specially formulated to be ingested under the supervision of a physician to treat disease. Not to be confused with folk or naturalistic remedies, medical foods constitute a specific category of regulated products under the purview of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are scientifically formulated products first developed in the U.S. in the mid-twentieth century to address the serious health-related consequences arising from inherited metabolic diseases. Medical foods were thus the products of the developing fields of medical genetics and enzymology, and emblematic of the growth of those areas of medicine.
In terms of food and drug regulation, these novel products straddled two worlds: they were food in that they were to be ingested to provide nutrition; and they were drugs in that they were required to be used under the supervision of a physician to treat disease. So it was that the first medical food, an infant formula called Lofenalac to treat phenylketonuria, blurred the definitional boundaries between food and drugs, initially confounding clear categorization for regulatory purposes. Importantly, Lofenalac came on the scene during a key time of transition for the FDA.
In the 1960s, the FDA was in the process of implementing sweeping legislative reforms enacted in 1962. Among other things, this legislation granted the FDA more extensive powers for premarket review of new therapeutic-drug products. As Messner's doctoral thesis described in some detail, the practical application of this new authority was shaped significantly through conflict with the pharmaceutical companies, who challenged the FDA's decisions and regulatory interpretations repeatedly in the courts and in other ways. Lofenalac was a new kind of product coming to the FDA for review at a transitional time, and the approach to the product reflected the times.
Thus, the immediate goal of this project is to explore the advent of medical foods as a technical accomplishment in enzymology and medical genetics and to examine how the first medical foods challenged existing regulatory practices. However this nascent project in medical foods suggests clear directions for the future. Although Lofenalac was finally declared a food for regulatory purposes in 1972, the boundaries between the definitions of many foods and drugs have continued to be porous, and this porosity has not been limited to FDA regulatory classification.
The early medical foods were developed during the formative years of food science as a profession. As Michael Pollan has described, in the 1970s American attitudes toward food and diet were changing. Foods increasingly began to be discussed in terms of their nutrients and chemical composition, and eventually were marketed that way. Hence, in the same decade that the FDA moved to treat medical foods less like drugs and more like foods, political discourse on diet and health (and ultimately also the language of marketing) was shifting to treat conventional foods less like food and more like chemical formulations.
Today we have a burgeoning marketplace of foods that are like drugs and drugs that are like foods.The development of a medically therapeutic nutritional formula for a genetic disease can be seen as foreshadowing today's "nutraceuticals" and especially "nutrigenetic testing," which purports to use DNA analysis as part of a program to custom-formulate dietary supplements for customers based on their individualized needs. Included under the industry-coined rubric of nutraceuticals are not only medical foods, but also "functional" foods (conventional foods specially formulated for augmented health benefits), and dietary supplements (isolated, purified components of foods or "natural" substances purported to give health benefits).
In the longer term, therefore, this work can lead toward an understanding of how the blended meanings of "food" and "drug" characteristic of these products continue to reverberate in today's complex commercial and regulatory landscape of nutritional and therapeutic products.

For many years the Christmas Bureau has provided toys and gifts to thousands of needy families in Travis County. But not this year.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, along with members of Operation Blue Santa, say the director of the Christmas Bureau, Shon Washington, was unreachable for weeks. And they don't know what happened to money collected by the nonprofit.
The website with last year's information is still taking PayPal donations.
"We're going to get to the bottom of what's going on with that organization," said Chief Acevedo. "When you take dollars from donors, you have to account for those dollars."
Blue Santa organizer Joe Munoz says he spoke with Washington on Wednesday.
"And told him pretty much we are going to proceed without him," Munoz said.
KVUE spoke to Washington as well. He says his plan was to get the nonprofit up and running by December 1st.
"We'll be in the building, our computers will be up and running, we'll have phone lines running, we'll have all that," Washington said. "But everybody has the assumption that we are a year-round organization. We are not."
Chief Acevedo says there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing on Washington's part, but they want to make sure donations are accounted for.
"A lot of flags have been raised, a lot of concern, and the only way we're going to get that answered is we are going to be launching a criminal investigation," Chief Acevedo said. "The Christmas Bureau, whether they know it or not, will account for every dollar either the easy way or the hard way."
In the meantime, there are now thousands more families Operation Blue Santa has to provide for this holiday season.
While the Chuy's Children Giving to Children parade will help put a dent in the number of gifts needed, the chief says they can use more help from the community.
"We're not only talking about the 15,000 kids that we help, but we're talking about the 6,000 other folks that may not get help if everybody doesn't show up," Chief Acevedo said. "We've got some unmet needs, and we've got a very short turnaround to meet those needs."
Visit Operation Blue Santa if you'd like to donate.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Every time one of Oklahoma's offensive linemen winces, the entire team feels the pain. There's been a lot of aching this season.
On Wednesday, Sooner coach Bob Stoops said the status of left tackle Lane Johnson remains questionable. A decision could wait until game time on Saturday at Iowa State. If he can't go, he'll become the third starter from the Sooners' preseason depth chart to miss a game and fourth to find his way on to the injured list.
The only consolation is Johnson's injury won't end his season like the career-ending neck injury to center Ben Habern and the season-ending knee injuries to guards Tyler Evans and Nila Kasitati.
"We're thin on the line right now. We have tough guys battling injuries and playing through pain," quarterback Landry Jones said. "All the credit in the world to them. They're toughing it out and giving it their best effort."
The effort hasn't been an issue. Despite the injuries, Jones has only been sacked 10 times in 264 passing attempts. The Sooners struggled to run the ball in the loss to Notre Dame, but they're still averaging 5.3 yards per carry.
However, the attrition is part of a football season.
Center Gabe Ikard met with reporters without so much as a limp, but even he admitted it's rare to be a Sooner offensive lineman and still be able to move without discomfort.
"I feel like I need to wear a splint just to fit in on the line. I'm the weirdo that doesn't have one on," he said.
Making through a full season healthy is tough for linemen. There are the constant collisions and bodies crashing around them on every snap. It's almost impossible to avoid the awkward twist over a long season.
"Guys go down and you see it all the time," guard Bronson Irwin said. "We've had several injuries up front and that's really unfortunate that it happens that way, but we know someone has to step up and the game doesn't slow down for anything."
If Johnson can't go on Saturday, the Sooners will plug sophomore Tyrus Thompson in and play on. The season doesn't stop for injuries.
However, one of the reasons teams like to have one of their off weeks in late October or November is the opportunity to heal nagging injuries to starters and give younger players some extra practice to build depth.
The Sooners' schedule won't allow that this season. The Iowa State game will mark their fifth in a string of nine games over nine weeks. It's hard to keep starters sharp and build depth.
"Sometimes it just goes that way," Ikard said. "Ever since I've been here we've had injury after injury. I don't know what it is. It's something that kind of happens."
At least OU did get some very good news on Wednesday. Backup guard Austin Woods announced on Twitter Wednesday that doctors had told him he's in remission after battling Hodgkin's lymphoma since May. He's played all season, but being cancer free makes it easier to focus on football.
Just like freshman center Ty Darlington or freshman tackle Derek Farniok, he's one snap away from being a starter.
"You do talk to the twos in the summer and at all times," OU coach Bob Stoops said. "You've got to be able to step up and be prepared and make sure you're investing in the week. Whether it's practice or watching tape, at any moment you could be the guy in there, and we need you to play well. You do talk about that."
When it comes to offensive linemen, you can't say it enough.

Loan Consolidation
Loan consolidation is the process of applying for a new loan that will be used to pay off your existing student loan debts.
Loan Consolidation:
- Allows you to combine one or more eligible loan types into one loan and make payments to one loan holder.
- May allow you to pay your loan over a longer period of time, resulting in lower monthly payments but greater total debt.
- May result in a loss of deferment eligibility or other benefits available on existing loans.
Consult your loan holder to determine if consolidation is the best option for you. Your loan holder may be able to tell you the interest rate, approximate repayment period, and approximate monthly payment as well as to suggest consolidation loan lenders or other providers.
Loans Eligible for Consolidation
- Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans
- Federal PLUS Loans for parents
- Federal PLUS Loans for graduate/professional students
- Federal Supplemental Loans for Students (SLS)
- Federal Perkins Loans
- Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students (made before October 17, 1986)
- Federal Insured Student Loans (FISL)
- Health Professions Student Loans (including loans for disadvantaged students)
- Health Education Assistance Loans (HEAL)
- Nursing Student Loans (NSL)
Interest Rate
The interest rate on a Federal Consolidation Loan is the weighted average of the interest rates of the loans being consolidated, rounded up to the nearest 1/8 of one percent with a maximum rate of 8.25%. This interest rate is then fixed for the life of the loan.
If you consolidate HEAL loans, the portion of the consolidation loan that repays the HEAL loans has a variable interest rate that changes annually.
Repayment Period
You'll have from 10 to 30 years to repay your consolidation loan, depending on the amount of your debt and the repayment option you choose. The maximum time you are allowed to repay your Federal Consolidation Loan depends on the amount of the loan and any outstanding amounts you owe on other educational loans that you do not consolidate. Use the loan consolidation calculator below for an estimate of your monthly payments.

Picture a tree. Its thick, rough trunk extends upward, gradually tapering as it meets the sky. Powerful branches extend from its sides, covered in gently blowing leaves. The tree seems to ignore the most basic rule of life on earth — gravity. In large part, this phenomenon is due to polysaccharides, which are organic molecules that perform functions as diverse as building strong, flexible trees and delivering nutrients through the bodies of animals.
According to Kevin Edgar, a professor in the College of Natural Resources' Department of Wood Science and Forest Products, polysaccharides are also the "magic" ingredient to improving medicine. Currently, many medications have poor solubility and bioavailability, meaning that only a small portion of the drug reaches the bloodstream to combat illness. To compensate, patients must take higher doses to get enough of the drug into their bloodstream, leading to higher medical costs and increased risk of side effects from the off-target portion of the drug.
Edgar said he believes that polysaccharides can be used to solve many of these problems. Polysaccharides are naturally safe for use in medicines. Edgar's students modify them through selective photosynthesis to create safe derivatives with attributes that enable them to help to move the drug from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream and to control release times. This opens the door to extended release medications that allow the patient to take a pill once a day, rather than once every few hours. Edgar said the opportunity to create extended release medications is an important one because that convenience is a vital component of successful treatment.
Improved drug delivery has been Edgar's goal since before he joined the Virginia Tech faculty in 2007, he said. While a Technology Fellow at Eastman Chemical Company, Edgar and his colleagues conducted research to improve the delivery of saquinavir, an HIV drug, and of tamoxifen, an important therapeutic for the prevention of breast cancer. Their research resulted in drugs that can be more easily absorbed into patients' bloodstreams, increasing a drug's effectiveness.
In his quest to develop the most effective medications possible, Edgar crosses traditional boundaries, applying many different disciplines to his research. In the journal Cellulose, he wrote, "It is typical of modern scientific inquiry that it is at this multidisciplinary interface, at the intersection of organic chemistry, material science, polysaccharide chemistry, pharmacology, and pharmaceutical science, that rich opportunities for discovery exist."
Edgar said he pursues these opportunities through the long process of drug creation. Before he can use the polysaccharides, Edgar must first modify them by adding benign chemical groups to enhance their solubility — their ability to dissolve — and to ensure that they remain non-toxic. Next, he must determine the most suitable method to combine the polysaccharide with the drug, a process that can be as simple as mixing the ingredients together and pressing a pill, or as complicated as freeze-drying.
Edgar can further enhance the drug's solubility by incorporating the drug into a polysaccharide matrix, a process that requires testing many drug-polysaccharide matrices before finding the best combination. If laboratory tests indicate the system should be effective, it is then tested in complex living systems. If these tests are successful, the next step is approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Approval consists of a three-part process in which the drug is tested extensively for safety, efficacy, and uniform response in patients representing a wide spectrum of ages, races, and medical conditions.
Though Edgar spends much of his time dealing with the complicated chemical processes involved in creating new drugs, he said his ultimate goal is to help people. His progress toward this goal recently earned Edgar a place in the inaugural class of the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fellows, an honor given to only 162 of its 154,000 members.
"I hope my work will make drug taking more effective, safer, and more convenient for patients," Edgar said.
Kevin Edgar's research at Virginia Tech includes working with several components of the university.
