People who have symptoms of depression in middle age may be at increased risk of dementia decades later, a new study suggests.
On a recent late night in New Jersey, Adam Robb sat up with Dulcie Laurance, lulling her back to sleep.
Men in their 70s and 80s may be more likely than women of the same age to develop the memory loss and cognitive problems that often herald Alzheimer's disease, a new study has found.
For years, many experts have maintained that the subtle changes in memory and mental function that occur naturally as we get older rarely begin before age 60.
Barbara Hall tell us about a new study that finds breast cancer treatments can cause memory loss for patients.
Over the past several years, researchers have noticed an odd pattern in the relationship between body weight and Alzheimer's disease: Middle-aged people have a higher long-term risk of developing the disease if they're overweight or obese, while older people have a lower risk of the disease if they're carrying excess weight.
Shoes and other items with GPS devices in them can help track dementia patients. CNN's Elizabeth Cohen reports.
It was early evening when Lee Ferrero got in his car to make the trip home from a meeting for work. He'd done the trip many times over the years, and he looked forward to the drive.
When Darla Arni's mother began showing the first signs of dementia 16 years ago, Arni worried she was doomed to the same fate.
People with diabetes are at increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke at an early age, but that's not the only worry. Diabetes appears to dramatically increase a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia later in life, according to a new study conducted in Japan.
There was cake at one of the last birthdays Robert John Kreitner Jr. would have at the nursing home in Pennsylvania, but the guest of honor didn't open his eyes to see it.
"I'm right in the middle of a sentence, man - and it just goes, pew," the star says about his memory loss
Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt has no plans to stop coaching despite being diagnosed with early onset dementia.
With more than 5 million people suffering from Alzheimer's disease in the United States, a number that's expected to rise to 16 million by 2050, the pressure is on to find better methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Elizabeth Cohen discusses new research that suggests that eye exams may help doctors detect early signs of Alzheimer's.
Seventy-five former professional football players are suing the National Football League, saying the league knew as early as the 1920s of the harmful effects of concussions on players' brains but concealed the information from players, coaches, trainers and others until June 2010.
When a loved one moves into a nursing home, the support of family and friends is particularly important. This is especially true when the nursing home patient has dementia and can't adequately advocate on his or her own behalf.
The Office of the Inspector General believes it has just unearthed a public health scandal. Evidently, according to a report it released recently, predatory psychiatrists are prescribing deadly, ineffective drugs to our senior citizens in nursing homes throughout the country.
CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta speaks with the family of a former NFL player who committed suicide.
His was a suicide with a macabre twist. In February, former Chicago Bears safety David Duerson shot himself in the chest, but not before leaving behind a note requesting his brain be studied for evidence of a disease striking football players.

Alzheimer's disease is rapidly becoming one of the most critical health issues facing America. With the aging of the baby boomers into the period of risk for Alzheimer's disease, it is essential that research be accelerated to possibly delay the onset or slow the progression of the disease.
Alzheimer's disease begins long before family and friends notice differences in the patient's memory and behavior, doctors who treat the condition said Monday. By the time an official diagnosis is made, the person's function is usually significantly impaired and treatment rarely helps.
Researchers expand the definition of Alzheimer's disease, recognizing it may be present long before symptoms appear.
It's spring 2006, and a woman I vaguely recognize approaches me at a party, her auburn wig askew and a glass of wine wobbling in her hand. She announces cheerfully that, at 63, she has recently retired from the Virginia newspaper where I still work.
I am having significant memory problems that my M.D. thinks are due to depression, but I wonder if such severe problems can be accounted for by depression. I have had dysthymia my whole life. I admit I have a lot of stress in my life and may even be more depressed than I have been in the past, but I have never had these problems before. Here are some examples of things I forget on a daily basis (multiple times a day, actually) : not knowing why I'm in the car driving, not able to remember longtime friends' names, my dog's name, can't remember the names of common objects, putting keys, laundry, etc. in the refrigerator. This is affecting my professional and personal life. Could this really be just depression?
Gradual hearing loss is a common symptom of aging, but in some people it may also be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, a new study suggests.
Mental exercises won't prevent Alzheimer's disease, but they may delay it. Patty Lane has more in the Health Minute.
The changes may be subtle, especially at first: An aging executive misses an appointment or two, or can't recall what was said in last week's meeting. A doctor who's nearing retirement suddenly blanks on a longtime patient's name.
An essential nutrient found in fish oil does not appear to slow the mental decline associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
After age 60, we are all likely passengers on the Alzheimer's Express. These days it's overcrowded with baby boomers and is predicted by 2050 to claim 115 million victims worldwide, including 13.5 million Americans (up from 5.1 million today), bankrupting our health care system.
My mum is 67 and has suffered depression on and off all her life. She is just coming off medication from which she was having side effects: excessive sweating, and most disturbing, a shocking loss of short-term memory. She knows that she can't remember but she is extremely worried that she may have the beginning of Alzheimer's disease. She has episodes of being excessively high in her mood swings and appears confused and does not seem to be aware of her surroundings and what she is saying or doing. She then seems to come around and the next day she seems perfectly normal but says she can't remember anything about the episode. I wonder if she is suffering from some form of dementia.
Daily doses of vitamin B can halve the rate of brain shrinkage in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which can be a precursor to Alzheimer's, researchers at Oxford University said Thursday.
HLN's Susan Hendricks reports on a new study that finds men have earlier memory loss than women.

Last week, I answered a question about the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Today I want to talk a little about how dementia is treated.
Is hearing things that aren't there a symptom of Alzheimer's? Is Alzheimer's treatable?
The link between depression and dementia has always been unclear, but a new study supports the theory that depression increases dementia risk.
How can you tell if someone is suffering from Alzheimer's disease or if it is just depression?
In the fight against memory loss, nothing is certain, doctors say.

People with Asperger's syndrome would be included in the same diagnostic group as people with autism and pervasive developmental disorders, according to new guidelines under consideration by the American Psychiatric Association.
Eating a diet rich in healthy fats and limiting dairy and meat could do more than keep your heart healthier. It could also help keep you thinking clearly.
For more than 20 years, former San Francisco 49ers lineman George Visger has lived his life out of hundreds of small yellow notebooks. In them he scrawls the minutiae of his daily life: "4:45 am left house. 2 stops to find coffee and a roll. Paper work till 9:25. 10:05 Ed called."
Ginkgo biloba has failed -- again -- to live up to its reputation for boosting memory and brain function. Just over a year after a study showed that the herb doesn't prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease, a new study from the same team of researchers has found no evidence that ginkgo reduces the normal cognitive decline that comes with aging.
My husband, age 39, was diagnosed with manic depression/bipolar disorder approximately two years ago. He suffers from recurrent bouts of depression and is currently in a depressive phase. He does not have very many manic phases at all. His short-term memory is getting progressively worse. Lately he cannot seem to remember how to get to places that he had just visited two or three days before. This has happened three times in the past week alone. Is there a correlation between recurrent bouts of depression and memory loss? I would question the medications as a factor, but he has not changed meds in many months and the episodes of memory loss have been in recent weeks. I would appreciate any information you can give me, as the primary caregiver you can imagine that this whole ordeal is very difficult.

Blanche Danick may be 86 years old, but she's pretty hip. She keeps up with all the latest health news, and a while back, she called her daughter wanting to know whether she should start taking the herb ginkgo biloba. She'd heard it might stave off Alzheimer's disease.
CNN's Elizabeth Cohen reports on a new study that suggests ginkgo biloba doesn't work in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
The popular herb ginkgo biloba does not reduce the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's disease, according to a study of more than 1,500 elderly patients who took the supplement. Often touted as a way to preserve aging memories, no large-scale, randomized clinical trial -- until now -- has thoroughly evaluated the safety and effectiveness of ginkgo biloba extract as a way to prevent dementia.

In early 2008, the five tribes submitted paperwork asking the state to consider temporary protection for Mount Taylor. The request became public a few weeks later, on Feb. 22. At an emergency meeting, the New Mexico Cultural Properties Review Committee announced that it would protect the mountain for one year while considering whether it merited permanent status as a protected traditional cultural property. The uranium industry, local landowners and the surrounding communities felt blindsided.
Marita Noon, who is executive director of the nonprofit Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy (CARE), attended that first meeting. "There were a bevy of (uranium company) attorneys who were against the TCP decision, who are normally articulate and able to present their case, and they were basically just begging for a two-week delay so that they could read the TCP nomination -- because no one had seen it," she says. "Then, you have Native Americans -- I may sound racist, but I don't mean to be -- but they are not the people who are naturally public speakers; they don't have a lot of experience at putting their thoughts together and articulating them. But they stood up with prepared, written-out statements." Something, she says, was fishy, and when the committee did not grant a two-week extension, Noon took up the cause with a vengeance. She left the meeting "outraged by the sham of democracy" she had witnessed. After a sleepless night, she pounded out the first of many op-eds.
Noon, an ebullient woman with fluffy blonde hair, is a popular speaker and the author of 19 books on Christianity and relationships under the pen name Marita Littauer, including The Praying Wives Club, Talking So People Will Listen and Tailor-Made Marriage. Her organization, CARE, seeks to communicate "the positive side of the energy industry to the media and the public." Founded by Mark Mathis, a consultant to the Independent Petroleum Association of New Mexico, it receives funding from oil and gas producers. The Albuquerque Journal frequently runs Noon's commentaries calling for the elimination of the state's Oil Conservation Division or dismissing the creation of green jobs as "happy talk."
Noon lacks a professional background in energy issues or science. "But as I've learned and understood the issue, it has clearly become a passion for me," she says. "And I really have studied the issue: That everything we hold dear in America is threatened by threats to energy."
She claims that 90 percent of the uranium currently used in the U.S. is imported, most of it from Russia -- "an increasingly unfriendly Russia," at that. That's why it's so important for mining to proceed near Grants, she says in her speeches. "When we have sources to get the base fuel supplies in America, why on earth are we giving our money to foreign countries?"
The TCP designation may not totally block uranium mining, but, she argues, it adds an extra layer of regulation that has driven some companies out. And the people of Grants, which she compares to a Third World country, can't afford to lose this chance for economic development.
Noon has a knack for galvanizing crowds, but her rhetoric has a tendency to be somewhat loose with the facts. According to the federal Energy Information Administration, for example, 86 percent of the uranium used in the U.S. is indeed imported. But nearly half of that, comes from Australia and Canada, while 33 percent comes from Kazakhstan, Russia and Uzbekistan. The Farmington Daily Times and the blog Heath Haussamen on New Mexico Politics have recently pulled Noon's commentaries, citing inaccuracies.
In the case of the TCP, though, Noon didn't need to twist the facts to win people to her cause. The state had botched the process badly enough to help do the job for her.

More than 150 years ago, gold seekers, or 49er's as they were called, headed west for the gold fields of California on this trail. At this location, travelers crossed the Elm fork of the Trinity River on their way to Johnson Station in what is now Arlington, Texas, hence the name "California Crossing". A Texas Ranger and U.S. Cavalry outpost as well as trading house, this station was the rallying point for settlers headed west. From this point, the 49er's began their
six-month journey to California in search of new found riches.

Obituary was published May 1, 2010.
David Arthur Armour of West Washington Boulevard, Grove City, suffered a long fight with cancer and was taken to glory by his Lord at 11:20 a.m. Wednesday, April 28, 2010, in his home. He was 72.
Dr. Armour was a son of Arthur and Marian Bowie Armour from Grove City.
He was a loving husband, father and Opa to his wife, Grace, with whom he celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary last August; four children and seven grandchildren, Marian Armour-Gemmen and Randall, Angelyn and Ellena, Morgantown, W.Va.; Arthur Armour and Rebecca Lew, Samuel and John, Portland, Ore.; David Armour and Joanna Tong, David, Keith and Michael, Bellevue, Wash.; Anneke Myers and Matthew Mackinac Island, Mich.
Other family includes: two sisters and a brother, Nancy and Doug Johnson, Davidsonville, Md.; Tom and Lois Armour, Grove City; and Maryann and Al Fearon, Bolivar, Ohio; his in-laws, Alice and Bill Heese, Akron, Ohio, and Ed (deceased) and Jan Lootsma, Mystic, Conn.; Els (deceased) and Gys Kooy, Mahwah, N.J.; Wayne Lootsma (deceased); Henry and Grace Lootsma, North Haledon, N.J.; and Ann and John Barr, Bridgewater, Va.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was a servant of the Lord and loved by many who were his brothers and sisters in Christ.
He attended Grove City schools, went on to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., attended his junior year at the University of London and graduated in 1959. He then went on to receive his master's and Ph.D. in history at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.
For four years, he was on the faculty of University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. David was hired by the Mackinac Island State Historic Parks Commission to be the deputy director, a position he held for 36 years. During that time he served as acting director twice.
He resided along with his family in Lansing and spent springs and summers on Mackinac Island, which he loved and cherished. He occasionally taught courses in Colonial American History at Calvin College.
He had a ministry with the Hmong Christian Ministry in Grand Ledge, Mich., and Lansing and on Mackinac Island and worked with the college students and Jamaican workers in leading and participating in their worship services. He was an elder at River Terrace Church in East Lansing and later at Covenant Christian Reformed Church in Grand Ledge. While living on Mackinac Island, he attended Trinity Episcopal Church and was on the vestry.
He was the author of seven books, three of which were award-winning, and more than 60 articles and book reviews. He restored or reconstructed more than 40 historic buildings and obtained and administered more than $7 million in grants.

He was the consultant on numerous and various projects dealing with a wide variety of archaeological and historical restorations. He was the editor of Historical Archaeology for four years in its very beginnings.
Upon his retirement in 2003, he received many honors, including the Governor Granholm's attendance and presentation of recognition of his outstanding services to the state of Michigan; Michigan Legislature Award; and the City of Mackinac Island presented by Mayor Doud.
Along with Grace, he moved back to Grove City in 2004.

He also taught history to home-schooled neighborhood children and English to foreign exchange students. He was named adjunct professor at Grove City College in 2007. He enjoyed his fellowship at Covenant Orthodox Presbyterian Church and loved hosting college students in his home.
In 2008, he was honored by the Mackinac Island State Park Commission, which named the Mill Creek Visitors Center in Mackinaw City, Mich., in his memory, The David A.

HTC Releases Android Source Code for Mobile Phones
After repeated calls from developers, HTC has now released the Android source code for a number of its mobile phones.
Publicizing the source code satisfies at least two wishes of HTC fans, as Slashgear.com indicates: it brings HTC up to date with kernel licensing requirements, and provides opportunities to build more custom ROMs to enrich the mobile phone features.
The source code for the HTC Hero, Magic and Dream models is at developer.htc.com, which also contains HTC's proprietary binaries for ADP1.
Nice PostWe need to make sure about the security issues and our expectation are really high

The G-20 summit meeting in
The G-20 will also have to make some decisions about the International Monetary Fund (IMF): how much money will they get and what will be their role in the coming months and years? The Obama Administration has proposed an additional $100 billion, in the hope that this will raise $500 billion of new funding. The European Union has committed a similar amount (75 billion Euros).
This could be a mistake, unless the IMF is required to eliminate the harmful conditions that it often attaches to its lending. About ten years ago, in the last major international economic crisis – which began in Asia – the
These countries learned their lesson and piled up reserves so as to never go back to the IMF again. The Fund, without taking responsibility or firing anyone (much like some American corporations recently) claims to have learned some lessons and also to have changed its policies. But there are too many disturbing signs that it has not.
For example, in at least nine agreements that the Fund has negotiated since September 2008, including Eastern European countries,
The IMF has long had a double standard when it comes to dealing with economic downturns. For the rich countries, it can be quite Keynesian: it is currently recommending a global fiscal stimulus of 2 percent of GDP. But for the developing countries that are actually forced to follow the Fund's advice, there is often a different story: they "cannot afford" these expansionary policies during a recession.
This attitude can defeat the purpose of loaning money to developing countries in a downturn, which is to enable them to pursue expansionary policies. The main reason they "cannot afford" to do what the U.S. or other rich countries do during this recession – e.g run large budget deficits – is that they may run out of foreign exchange reserves (mostly dollars). In other words, if they grow at a normal pace while other economies shrink, their imports will grow faster than their exports, and their trade balance will worsen. The purpose of external support is to allow that to happen, rather than shrinking the economy to improve the trade balance.
In some sense it is not really fair to blame the IMF for its failed policies, since the Fund has a boss: the U.S. Treasury Department. Although it has 185 member countries,
There was understandably discontent in the
What hope, then, for reform? For immediate reforms, there is the pressure from organized civil society that successfully forced some $88 billion of poor country debt cancellation over the past decade. Coalitions such as the UK's 138-organization "Put People First" are pressuring the IMF and World Bank to refrain from inflicting harmful conditions on poor countries, and to cancel more debt; and for the rich countries to live up to their aid commitments. In the
More ambitious proposals for longer-term reform come from the UN Commission headed by Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz. This commission is proposing a Global Economic Council, an expanded global reserve system, and other institutional arrangements – including steady aid to poor countries – that would not be subject to the veto of rich countries as are the IMF and World Bank currently. This week the government of
In the mean time, the most important reforms will take place at the national and regional level, bypassing the G-7 and the nominally expanded G-20.
If the developing countries are willing to show the G-7 that they can walk away from any agreements that can harm them, while creating alternatives on the ground at the national and regional level, the governments of the rich countries may eventually see the need for serious international financial reforms.

Please advise.

Metro Police say a father of three Jayson Hazley was hit and killed by a hit-and-run driver Saturday, and the driver didn't bother to stop.
"It's the support of the family that gets you through times like this," said Jayson's sister, Brittney Hines. "Jayson was very loved, which is why I can't understand why someone would keep going. I believe that God will and can find who did this."
Police said Jayson Hazley and a friend were crossing Briley Parkway near the Ellington Parkway exchange around 5 a.m. Saturday morning. They were using the highway as a shortcut between Hazley's apartment and the friend's hotel room.
According to police, Hazley was struck by a silver, 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix.
Police have recovered the vehicle involved in the hit and run crash. The car was located at a home on Ames Drive. It has been impounded and is being processed.
"The friend said they were walking and it happened so fast," said Hines. "The car swerved and hit him, and he says he just saw him fly up. He hit him very hard for where he landed."
While the search for the driver continues, Hines and her family said they want justice for a man who was a cook for the downtown Nashville Demos, played drums for the Church of the Living God since he was a child, and most importantly, was father to three young children.
"He has three beautiful children under the age of six," said Hines. "They need to know their father, his death was not in vain. We don't want this to happen to anyone else. I wouldn't wish this feeling on my worst enemy. I just want my brother back."

Catholic Complicity in Nazism, Anti-Liberal Ideologies
There were lots of reasons why Catholic leaders should have opposed Hitler and the Nazis and this makes people wonder why they bent over backwards to accommodate the Nazis. What people need to understand is that there were also lots of reasons why Catholics and other conservative Christians wanted to work with the Nazis. Most were bound up with their common opposition to Weimar and liberalism.
Freedom vs. Dogma: Academics in Catholic Universities
Do so-called 'Catholic' universities exist to promote Catholic dogma, or do they exist to provide serious educations? I'm sure that some would insist that there need not be a conflict between the two goals, but there is so long as advancing the former includes limiting academic freedom, a critical component of the latter. Unfortunately, Catholic leaders have recently tended towards the latter.
Capital Punishment, Catholicism and Cathars
Today the Catholic Church stands resolutely against capital punishment. The validity of executions has not been rejected completely, but the situations in which they are licit are so narrow and limited that they are practically impossible, at least if one adheres to Catholic teachings faithfully. This wasn't always the case, though.
Priests Abusing Children, Church Abusing Victims
It apparently wasn't bad enough that Catholic priests were abusing children and that Catholic bishops were covering up for the priests, moving them around so they could avoid punishment and continue to abuse new children. After the scandal of both types of crime broke, Catholic leaders continued to exacerbate the problem by refusing to really help the victims.
Catholic Priests, Celibacy, and Marriage: Should Catholic Priests Marry or...
The opposition to ending the requirement of celibacy for Catholic priests is strong - but isn't it strange that, despite this requirement, there are so many married Catholic priests who seem to be doing as good a job as unmarried priests? If celibacy is so vital, why do married Catholic priests exist at all?
What is Roman Catholicism?
The Roman Catholic Church is a Christian denomination of believers who are "in communion" with the papacy. The largest Christian church currently in existence, it is characterized by an episcopal hierarchy with the pope as its head, a belief in seven sacraments and the authority of tradition alongside scripture.
Electing the Next Pope: Index of Resources
Every human is mortal, and that includes popes. Some may live and reign for extraordinarily long times while others may only serve for a few days, but in the end all die and a new pope must be elected. But how are popes chosen? It's a process that seems shrouded in secrecy and history; the details of any particular election are supposed to be kept hidden, but general information about the typical process is indeed known.
Roman Catholicism & Health Care
Does your community hospital provide services like abortion, birth control counseling, or even emergency contraception after rape? How about voluntary sterilization or infertility treatments? Will your hospital honor the wishes of yourself or your spouse to have recussitation efforts stopped or life support withdrawn? Even if you have a legally valid living will?
Roman Catholicism: Concepts and Movements
This list covers basic terminology and movements which may be useful for understanding Roman Catholicism.
Mel Gibson's "The Passion": News and Commentary
Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion," about the death of Jesus Christ, has been the target of praise and criticism. Evangelical Christians who have seen the movie have praised it while Jews and others concerned about possible Anti-Semitic overtones have criticized it. Defenders argue that it is an accurate portrayal of the gospel accounts of Jesus' death and that, therefore, is good enough.
Recently Reviewed Books on Catholicism
Roman Catholicism preserves many of the oldest traditions in Christianity. However, some Christians regard the Catholic Church as a non-Christian organization. There are many books published every year dealing with Catholicism, with some of the best reviewed here.
About Catholicism (from Jessica Steinmetz)
About's site on Catholicism, Catholics, and the Roman Catholic faith: "I'm a strong believer in Catholicism. I've struggled with my beliefs, but I always turned to my faith for guidance. I'm happily married and practicing my faith. I hope to bring you insight and information on the Catholic faith."
Catholic Opposition to Religious Liberty
Pope Benedict XVI came out many times during his papacy blasting secularism and political liberalism. Given how entrenched those two have become in the modern West what's probably stranger is that the criticisms weren't harsher.

It was a great day for Tim Maronay, a retired Oregon firefighter with a new lease on life.
"Once I got home, walking, swimming, next thing I know, I'm hiking, looking for all the mountains around here," he said.
On Friday, he thanked the entire St. Joseph's Hospital team -- a year after his lung transplant. It's his new birthday.
"This month marks my one year. My new birthday. It's a good way to celebrate my first birthday," he said.
"What this has taught us.. to take each day, make it a good day, 'cause you never know," said Jill Maroney.
Tim was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 16. 25 years later, it changed his life. He was unconscious with his family making medical decisions to save him or pull him off the ventilator.
St. Joseph's doctors say it's miraculous he's alive today.
"It's incredible to see him doing so well and see his family and him doing the things he used to do and see him with his new lease on life..it's just amazing," said Jasmine Huang, a head surgeon at St. Joseph's.
"To see them brings back memories, it's just wonderful," said Tim.

Alps girl's family pray for a miracle
5:10pm Wednesday 12th December 2012 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
A snowboarder is fighting for her life following an accident in the French Alps.
Former Northbrook College pupil Emily Watts, known as "Mimi", is thought to have been practising jumps when she fell at high speed down a steep slope and crashed head first into a snowdrift.
As rescuers struggled to reach her, she was stuck for about 45 minutes and suffered a cardiac arrest. She is feared to have brain damage as she snowboarded on Saturday, December 8, the first day of the season.
The 26-year-old, who used to live in Brighton but returned to her parents' home in Suffolk to save for "the holiday of a lifetime", is on a life support machine in Annecy, near where she fell in Grands Montets, the largest pisted skiing area in the Chamonix Valley. Her parents, Nicky and Dominic, and brother Rory are with her.
Family members said she needed a "miracle" to pull through.
Yesterday (December 11) Sue Dare, the principal of Northbrook College in Littlehampton Road, Worthing, where Mimi studied theatre, props and special effects including costume design between September 2008 and June 2010, said: "We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Emily's tragic accident.
'Creative force'
"Dan Jenkins, Emily's course tutor, described her as a creative force with an adventurous appetite for life. Emily's wonderful attitude and talent made her a real joy to teach.
"Our thoughts go out to Emily and her family."
Mimi's aunt, Shona Pollock, who lives in London but works in Sussex, told The Argus she had only recently left Brighton and arrived in France two weeks ago, hoping to find work at the ski resorts.
She said: "She went home to save money for the trip – it was the trip of a lifetime.
"She is on life-support at the moment and her parents and brother are with her. But a miracle is needed. She is a lovely girl."
Send your messages of support to Mimi at email@example.com or comment below.

Product Verification
North America's Only Independent Verification of Non-GMO Products
The retailers who started the Non-GMO Project were motivated by a simple idea: they believed that consumers in North America should have access to clearly-labeled non-GMO food and products, now and in the future. That conviction continues to be the guiding force behind the Non-GMO Project, which offers North America's only independent verification for products made according to best practices for GMO avoidance.
- Frequently Asked Questions
- Process Overview
- Verification Inquiry Form
- About GMO Testing
- The Non-GMO Project Standard
Values-driven companies have led the way with the Non-GMO Project. As you can see from the Board members who have diligently thought through creative solutions to the many challenges posed by GMOs, this is truly a collaborative effort by some of the most inspiring and influential leaders in the organic & natural products industry. We hope that you will join us in this effort to protect and preserve non-GMO food and products. North Americans deserve clearly labeled, independently-verified non-GMO choices, and it's up to us to give it to them. In addition, we hope that the information on this site will answer your questions and help inspire you to lend your support to the growing number of companies who say "no" to GMO contamination.

Bill Sapsis is pleased to announce the formation of the North American Theatre Engineering and Architecture Conference (NATEAC). Based on the model of the TEA conferences produced by Richard Brett in London in 2002 and 2006, NATEAC will offer more than 50 panelists speaking at over 20 sessions on topics ranging from current rigging technology to the makeup of stage floors as well as a discussion of where the proscenium will be by the year 2020.
The conference will take place on July 20 and 21, 2008 at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace University in downtown Manhattan, NY.
The goal of the North American Theatre Engineering and Architecture Conference is to promote communication between the architects, engineers, consultants, and manufacturers responsible for designing and building new theatres and renovating existing facilities in North America. Another goal is to promote a higher level of interaction between these professionals and the end users of their facilities.
The requirements of performance spaces are more complex than ever before. With the meteoric rise of digital technology and the ever expanding diversity of these facilities, there is an increasing need for those responsible for these spaces—the architects, engineers, consultants, manufacturers, and end users—to have an opportunity to share their ideas about 21st century technologies. NATEAC will help facilitate the process of design, construction, and renovation of traditional and non-traditional theatres to the benefit of all that use them.
For more information please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the conference website linked above.

Say what you will about Bellator, but this week's show is one heck of a card. Bellator 97 is live from Albuquerque, NM tonight, Wednesday, July 31, and features a stacked line-up. Bellator 97 is a 3-hour broadcast airing live tonight on Spike TV starting at 7:00 p.m. ET with the prelims airing on Bloody Elbow and Spike.com starting at 5:30 p.m. ET. Join us here at Bloody Elbow tonight for live Bellator coverage.
Seriously, this is a crazy show. You have two of the top three fighters in Bellator defending their titles as Ben Askren and Michael Chandler both step into the cage against game opponents. You also have a pair of tournament finals, most notably featuring King Mo as he attempts to erase the sting of his Bellator loss earlier this year. Add in some great, worthwhile prospects on the prelim card, and you have a must watch show.
Here's the full Bellator 97 fight card, followed by preview and predictions:
Bellator Lightweight World Title Fight: Michael Chandler (11-0) vs. David Rickels (14-1)
Bellator Welterweight World Title Fight: Ben Askren (11-0) vs. Andrey Koreshkov (13-0)
Bellator Light Heavyweight Tournament Final: King Mo (10-2) vs. Jacob Noe (12-2)
Bellator Heavyweight Tournament Final: Ryan Martinez (10-2) vs. Vitaly Minakov (11-0)
Featherweight Feature Fight: Jared Downing (9-2) vs. Patricio Pitbull (17-2)
Lightweight Feature Fight: Cris Leyva (9-5) vs. Will Brooks (9-1)
Bantamweight Tournament Semifinals: Rafael Silva (19-3) vs. Rodrigo Lima (11-1)
Bantamweight Tournament Semifinals: Anthony Leone (12-5) vs. Frank Baca (16-2)
Lightweight Feature Fight: Mike Barreras (5-6) vs. Bubba Jenkins (3-0)
Bantamweight Feature Fight: Javier Palacios (1-0) vs. Richard Jacques (1-0)
Middleweight Feature Fight: Jeremy Kimball (9-3) vs. Keith Berry (15-10)
Bantamweight Feature Fight: Adrian Cruz (4-0) vs. Felipe Chavez (5-3)
Bantamweight Feature Fight: Steve Garcia (1-0) vs. Shawn Bunch (1-0)
Featherweight Feature Fight: Cliff Wright Jr. (7-4) vs. Donald Sanchez (28-13)
Bellator Lightweight World Title Fight: Michael Chandler (11-0) vs. David Rickels (14-1)
Bellator LW champion Michael Chandler is one of the fighters the company is looking to really get behind. He's pretty much exactly what Bellator wants - an almost totally homegrown talent who is rising up the ranks in not just Bellator, but in all of MMA. The undefeated Chandler took the belt from Eddie Alvarez in what is most definitely the best fight in Bellator history and one of the best fights of 2011. He's since had two wins, one of them a successful title defense where he made Rick Hawn look like an amateur. A strong wrestler, Chandler has shown that he is a complete fighter, adding in a progressively improving striking game, plus ending Hawn's night with a choke. He also has incredible heart and will to win. Every time we see Chandler, he's a little bit better, and I look forward to seeing what he brings to the table here.
David Rickels won the Lightweight tournament this Spring. He was originally second in line, but when Dave Jansen went down to injury, Rickels was able to cut ahead. A former Welterweight, Rickels made the drop to 155 last year and has gone a perfect 4-0 since, culminating in his tournament final win over Saad Awad. That fight, Rickels's first stoppage win at LW, was a controversial one, as Awad took too long getting to his feet after a punch and was ruled KO'd, though he was clearly still able to fight. Known as "The Caveman," Rickels is a tough grinder who loves pushing his fights into the late rounds and outworking his opponents. That's been his main strategy, particularly at LW where he has had less success closing the show.
Since Rickels is undefeated at 155 it feels weird saying this, but I will - I still am not sold on him in this division. He has less power and less energy than the wild "Caveman" style he showed off at 170. So far, he's been able to get by, but I think against a cardio machine and fellow grinder in Chandler, those issues are going to catch up with him. Chandler is better in every aspect of the game, and unless Rickels can bring in something wildly unpredictable, he's going to have a very tough time here.
Prediction: Michael Chandler by TKO
Bellator Welterweight World Title Fight: Ben Askren (11-0) vs. Andrey Koreshkov (13-0)
The controversial Ben Askren makes his return here. Askren has held the Bellator Welterweight title for close to three years, making three successful title defense in that time. He's also earned a pile of hatred for both his outspoken nature and his decision-heavy style. A decorated amateur wrestler, Askren's style is simple - shut his opponents down. He brings a slightly unorthodox style of wrestling to the table, using different techniques to keep his opponents on the mat and completely out of their games. It's not for everyone, but I find it fascinating to watch. He's coming off a win over Karl Amoussou which was one of Askren's best performances ever, as he nullified everything Amoussou attempted while also imposing his own battering game. That fight ended in a stoppage - Askren's first in seven fights.
Koreshkov is in the impressive line of Russian fighters Bellator has imported in the past few years. The 22 year old came to Bellator in 2012 out of the RusFighters camp. He rolled through the tournament last fall, and while former champion Lyman Good gave him a little trouble in the finals, Koreshkov was able to persevere and pull off the win. A talented striker, Koreshkov has shown a great ability to out-strike his opponents and to end their nights whenever he has the opportunity. He's a young fighter with a bright future ahead of him, no doubt.
Unfortunately for Koreshkov, he's also the exact kind of fighter Ben Askren chews up and spits out. To beat Askren, you will need to be able to somehow combat that grappling game, and while Koreshkov has many talents, he doesn't have the wrestling to hang with the champ. Expect another vintage Askren performance here.
Prediction: Ben Askren by decision

Bellator Light Heavyweight Tournament Final: King Mo (10-2) vs. Jacob Noe (12-2)
Ah, the Light Heavyweight Summer Series, aka "King Mo, Take 2." There's little doubt about how this tournament was set up. A 4-man tournament instead of the traditional Bellator 8-man format, this one seemed destined for a King Mo coronation. The only thing standing in his way is Jacob Noe. Of course, the same was true of the last Bellator Light Heavyweight tournament, and we all know how that turned out, as Emanuel Newton ended Mo's rise with a crushing spinning backfist. Now, Mo is trying to bounce back. He's already had one fight back - a win over Seth Petruzelli in the tournament semifinals. That fight saw Mo back in his best form, using his wrestling to ground Seth, then his fists to KO him on the mat. It was a very impressive showing - much more to his strengths than his striking-centric approach against Newton.
Looking to play spoiler here is Jacob Noe, who ended Babalu Sobral's career in the semifinals. Prior to that, he was in the spring tournament, earning his own win over Petruzelli before being stopped by Mikhail Zayats. Noe is a big Light Heavyweight with 15 pro fights to his name. But despite the record, he still has looked pretty green in his Bellator fights. He definitely has his work cut out for him here.
Honestly, this is Mo's fight to lose. If he gets too cute and tries to strike with the larger Noe, it could bite him in the ass again. But if he plays it smart (and I suspect he will), he'll use his wrestling, get the win, and move on to the title shot. At that point, you know Bellator will be crossing their fingers for Newton to unseat Attila Vegh, leading to Mo vs. Netwon 2 for the belt. We'll see if we get there.
Prediction: King Mo by TKO
Bellator Heavyweight Tournament Final: Ryan Martinez (10-2) vs. Vitaly Minakov (11-0)
The Bellator Heavyweight division is always a bit of a rocky area, with not a tremendous amount of depth in the field. It's also been somewhat rudderless since former champion Cole Konrad retired undefeated. Now, champion Alexander Volkov awaits a challenger, and this fight will determine who gets the shot.
Martinez is a bit of a surprise to see here. After starting his Bellator career going 1-1 in two not particularly impressive fights, Martinez scored a big win over Travis Wiuff in March. He then earned a shot in this tournament due to an injury to Vinicius Quieroz, and made the most of it, scoring an upset KO win over Richard Hale. A tough, powerful puncher with decent wrestling, Martinez is pretty much what you expect from moderately successful Heavyweights outside of the UFC - power, some sloppiness, and heart for days.
Vitaly Minakov is a Sambo and Judo champion with a nasty finishing streak. He's won all but one of his fights by stoppage, with seven wins taking one minute each. The man has real power, crisp striking, and a serious ability to end the fight of a stunned opponent. He showed off those skills against Ron Sparks in the semis, crushing the tough Sparks in just 30 seconds. Minakov is no joke, and a showdown between him and Volkov would be a fantastic fight.
Martinez will try to spoil that all-Russian title fight, but I don't see it happening. Minakov is just too fast, too technical, and will be able to light Martinez up. I expect to see the durable Martinez show a ton of heart here, but take a beating in the process.
Prediction: Vitaly Minakov by TKO
Featherweight Feature Fight: Jared Downing (9-2) vs. Patricio Pitbull (17-2)
Lost in the shuffle of some great featured fights is this show opener, as Patricio Pitbull takes on Jared Downing. Originally, Pitbull was to face UFC veteran Rob Emerson, but an injury led to this card change. Downing steps in on less than a month's notice. He went 2-0 in Bellator in 2010 and since then has largely been fighting in RFA, where he is coming off a June loss to Lance Palmer. Pitbull's last fight was the decision loss to Pat Curran to open up the Bellator run on Spike. That fight was a highly technical striking affair that saw Pitbull just barely edged out by one of the best Featherweights in the world. In short, Pitbull is really good, and Downing is taking a huge step up here. I admire his willingness to take the short notice fight and go for it, but this is a real tough one for him.
Prediction: Patricio Pitbull by KO
There are some superb fights on the prelims, so be sure to tune in early at Spike.com:
- The most notable prelim action is a pair of Bantamweight tournament semifinals, as Rafael Silva (17-3) faces Rodrigo Lima (11-1) while Anthony Leone (12-5) meets Frank Baca (16-2). I don't love that these are on the prelims - the Bantamweight division needs a boost, and this isn't the way to do it. But they should still be great fights, with Silva vs. Lima in particular being one to watch. I'm looking ahead to a Lima vs. Leone final.
- Will Brooks looks to make his comeback here after suffering the first loss of his career at the hands of Saad Awad. Brooks is a great talent who I still think is a future world champion. He should have little trouble with Cris Leyva, who comes in to this fight on a 4 fight losing streak.
- Shawn Bunch is also back in action. The 1-0 fighter made his Bellator and MMA debut in November. He's another great amateur wrestler with a potential bright future ahead of him. For much more on Bunch, check out Coach Mike's great analysis (seriously, read it, Coach Mike rules).
- The other big name to watch here is Bubba Jenkins. Jenkins is a former NCAA wrestling champion who is 3-0 in MMA and has been training at ATT. If he is dedicated to success in MMA, he's a potential major player. He makes his Bellator debut here.

The late Casey Kasem used to end his show with "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars."
Larry London, host of Voice of America's "Border Crossings" program, seems to have lived that motto. Based in Washington, he takes requests from around the world, including postcard requests from Tibet to Facebook requests from Nigeria. He arrived at that unusual posting via stops in Michigan, Hong Kong Tokyo and more. From his Washington post he gets to occasionally meet the artists whose songs he's been playing. Here he poses with Aretha Franklin after her appearance on the show.
