iBasis, Tower Semi: Early Volume Plays
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Several stocks trading under $5 were poised to move on above-average volume during Monday's session.
Synovus Financial (SNV) rose by 7 cents, or 4.2%, to $1.75 in the premarket session even after Collins Stewart lowered its stock price target for the company's stock to $1.25 from $4. The firm said Synovus needs to restore lost credibility and reaffirm expectations that its dangerously high level of problem assets will soon decline. The three-month average daily volume for Synovus is 18.1 million, according to Yahoo! Finance.
Tower Semiconductor (TSEM) jumped by 11 cents, or 11%, to $1.11 in the premarket session after the company signed a $130 million contract with an Asian customer to provide know-how, training, and turnkey manufacturing solutions. The 50-day average daily volume for Tower is 412,000, according to the Nasdaq.
iBasis (IBAS) surged by 72 cents, or 31.9%, to $2.98 in the premarket session after KPN agreed to acquire the remaining 44% of iBasis for $3 a share cash, or $93.3 million. The 50-day average daily volume for iBasis is 80,000, according to the Nasdaq.Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (SPPI) added 16 cents, or 3.4%, to $4.90 in the premarket session after the company announced a $19 million collaboration with Korea's Handok Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize Spectrum's experimental cancer drug. The 50-day average daily volume for Spectrum is 2.4 million, according to the Nasdaq. CDC Corp. (CHINA) gained 16 cents, or 6.6%, to $2.58 in the premarket session after the company reported third-quarter earnings of 5 cents a share, beating the Thomson Reuters average estimate of 2 cents a share. Revenue fell 26.4% to $76.6 million, below the $79.7 million consensus. The 50-day average daily volume for CDC is 1 million, according to the Nasdaq. Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK) was higher by 13 cents, or 3.8%, to $3.59 in the premarket session, one day before the company is set to report third-quarter earnings. Analysts are looking for a profit of a penny a share on revenue of $31.1 million, according to Thomson Reuters. The 50-day average daily volume for Star Bulk is 473,000, according to the Nasdaq. -- Written by Robert Holmes in New York.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (release) -- For the third consecutive semester overall and the third consecutive spring semester, University of Tennessee student-athletes have posted a collective GPA above 3.0, finishing the Spring 2014 semester with a 3.03 GPA.
For the first time in school history, as many as 12 teams have recorded a GPA of 3.0 or higher, one more than the previous high of 11. Four sports: baseball, women's swimming and diving, men's track and field, and women's track and field, recorded program-best Spring GPA team performances, with baseball and women's swimming and diving setting team GPA records for any semester since sport-by-sport records have been kept, which began in 2003.
Women's swimming and diving's team-record 3.44 GPA led all Tennessee programs during the Spring 2014 semester, while baseball's 3.00 GPA marks the first time the program has reached the 3.0 threshold in its history.
A total of 253 student-athletes posted a 3.0 GPA or higher, a rate of 58%. Additionally, 26% of student-athletes (114 total) were recognized on their respective Dean's Lists. A total of 26 UT student-athletes recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA, the third-highest total in school history.
"It is extremely gratifying to review the outstanding academic performance of our student-athletes again this spring, as our department continues to prioritize our collective effort to inspire all of our teams to achieve academic success at record levels," said Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart. "I applaud our student-athletes for their focus and emphasis on this most important element of our department's mission."
A total of 12 sports earned a 3.0 GPA or higher, with women's golf posting the highest increase, from a 2.84 in the Spring 2013 to a 3.33 in Spring 2014. In addition to women's golf, baseball, and women's swimming and diving, other programs posting a 3.0-or-above GPA include men's golf (3.18), rowing (3.31), soccer (3.29), softball (3.11), men's tennis (3.15), women's tennis (3.43), men's track and field (3.06), women's track and field (3.29), and volleyball (3.14). Nine teams improved their GPA from their Spring 2013 marks.
The football team posted a 2.62 GPA, the third consecutive spring semester in posting a 2.6 or higher, including 38 players with a 3.0 GPA or higher. Before the last three Spring semesters, football's previous record for a spring semester was a 2.59 in the Spring of 2008. In addition, the football program has increased its cumulative GPA for the fifth consecutive semester.

Technote (FAQ)
Why does the OCUP minor command of RGND always show me --init--?
Not enough collection cycles have occurred to gather required data
Customers sometimes ask why their 'region occupancy' continually shows as '--init--'.
OCUP is a minor command for the RGND major command designed to show you region occupancy. The REALTIME COMMANDS REFERENCE manual (SC27-4437) describes OCUP as follows:
To calculate this number, OMEGAMON for IMS samples the message regions or DBCTL
threads during every OMEGAMON for IMS cycle and observes the number of times it
finds an active transaction or thread. (It does not consider a region in WFI wait active,
which mens that WFI regions display as less than 100% occupied.) For the first 120
samples (or about ten minutes when the interval is five seconds) the data is statistically
insignificant, therefore OMEGAMON for IMS displays --init--.

Before the era of spectrophotometers, chemists used color in their research. With their eyes and with equipment like this colorimeter, chemists could crudely identify substances and measure their concentration by comparing the color of a reference sample with that of an unknown. The method was simple but imprecise and subjective. With the eye as a "detector," colorimetry relied on individual perceptions of hue, saturation, and brightness.

Too thin to work" by Dr Bell
Hot Iron Cleaner Cleaning Mitt
I bought this with great hopes that I would no longer worry about burning my hand when cleaning my iron using the hot iron cleaner. However, the mitt is too thin (significantly less thick than an oven glove) and gave almost no protection. Doubling it up like a cloth made it adequately protective but why not then just use a normal cloth?

I've calculated my calorie & macro needs based on my goal. Which are 2235kcal (183p/234c/63f). [10% + TDEE]
Thing is, the nutrition facts for the foods that I consume do not match the claimed macros.
I've searched the forum and I haven't found a solid answer yet.. so I thought I should start a thread.
My question is, should I just aim to hit my macros without thinking about the amount of calories I consume? Will it have an effect on the rate I pack on muscle? Or should I aim to hit my macros and follow my specified calories? ..seems nearly impossible.

A Newsletter of the Whitman College Forensics Team, Vol. 1, No. 1, January 1995
With a balance of experienced senior debaters, talented first-year students, and enthusiastic individual events competitors, Whitman College experienced a very successful fall semester. Although the Western Washington University Scrimmage did not bode well for Whitman, speakers and debaters got the official season off and running with their performance at the Jesuit Invitational at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. By any standard, Whitman College's performance at the Jesuit Invitational was impressive. In winning all three divisions of CEDA (Cross-Examination Debate Association) debate and collecting several individual events awards and legs to the national tournament, Whitman College Forensics demonstrated its preparation for the tournament and ability to do well. Specifically, Sean Harris and Steve Pointer won Senior CEDA, with a 5-1 record through the preliminary rounds. Both Whitman Junior teams, consisting of Jacquie Nguyen & Kristofer Peterson and Dave Perry & Erin Carlson registered 6-0 records and closed out the tournament in the semi-final rounds. Furthermore, Whitman took the Novice division with Jessica Palmer and Chris Harris going 5-1 through the preliminary rounds. Individual competitors Kristofer Peterson won Open Extemporaneous, Karen Skantze received third in Open Speech to Entertain and fourth in Open Persuasion, Erin Rogers and Katy Dixon won second in Open Duo and Amanda Elegant was a finalist in Junior Impromptu. By any measure, the season was off to a great start!
The success, however, did not end with the Jesuit Invitational. National circuit debaters traveled to San Diego State University, the site of the 1995 CEDA National Tournament, to compete against some of the best teams in the nation. Whitman College broke two teams into the elimination rounds, Andy Backlund and Chris White, who lost a close decision in bi-octafinals, and Jared Phillips and Steve Rowe, who moved into the octafinal round after defeating Northwest Louisiana State in a 2-1 decision. Those of you who know your Whitman Forensics trivia well will remember that it was Northwest Louisana State who defeated Whitman in two very important rounds--the quarterfinal of the 1993 National Tournament and the final round of the 1993 San Diego State University tournament. Needless to say, the victory over Northwest State was savored!
Whitman's success continued with its return to the Northwest as the debaters traveled to the University of Oregon and individual events competitors made their way to Oregon State University. As every Whitman CEDA team broke at the University of Oregon tournament to an eventual second place finish in both the senior and novice divisions, the individual events team took second place in sweepstakes behind the region's powerhouse Willamette University, touting such achievements as second in Novice Parliamentary debate, first in Open Persuasion, and first in Open Speech to Entertain.
In the final tournament of the semester, Whitman left the region with a clear message at the Linfield tournament, clearing two senior teams in senior CEDA to semi-finals, one team to novice semi-finals, and eventually overcoming Western Washington University in senior division CEDA to win first place.
Jim Hanson
Jim Hanson is presently the Director of Forensics at Whitman College. After joining Whitman College during the 1992-1993 academic year, Jim has led the Whitman College forensics team to many successes. Himself a quarter-finalist at the CEDA national tournament while competing for Western Washington University, Jim coached Charlotte Smith and Jennifer Becker to the quarterfinals at the 1993 National CEDA tournament. Jim also maintains professional contact with the debate community with numerous publications, high school debate seminars throughout the Northwest, and high school debate handbook that is used by students around the United States.
Ryan Hagemann
Ryan J. Hagemann currently serves as the Assistant Director of Forensics for Whitman College after graduating with an honors degree in Politics in 1994. Predominately an individual events participant, Ryan competed in nearly every one of the sanctioned AFA-NIET events, although he consistently participated in persuasion, impromptu, and informative speaking. Ryan's primary responsibility this year comes with coaching the large number of first-year students interested in the individual events program. His competitive successes include Speaker of the Tournament at the William O. Douglas Invitational at Western Washington University and second place in persuasive speaking at the District II-NIET Qualifying tournament.
Charlotte Smith
Charlotte Smith, a 1993 graduate of Whitman College in Politics and currently serving the College as an admission officer, is a valuable member of the coaching staff. Maintaining the position of Assistant Director of Debate, Charlotte brings a tremendous amount of insight and experience to the squad, having competed for eight years, four in high school and four for Whitman College. A consistent victor at many tournaments, Charlotte paired up with Jennifer Becker to dominate the region during the 1992-1993 season, and to register Whitman's most successful showing at the CEDA National Tournament, placing 5th in 1993.
Nicole Levin
Nicole Levin is the student assistant for the Whitman College Forensics Team this year. A former competitor, Nicole presently helps with recording the points and records of the team with the Northwest Forensics Conference and in the coaching of the novice and junior debate teams. Fortunately, Nicole is able to travel to many of the tournaments to offer her advice and coaching. Among her successes are breaking at the 1993 CEDA National Tournament and placing second at the San Diego State University tournament. Nicole will graduate in 1995 with a degree in Politics and Gender Studies.
Jennifer Becker
Jennifer Becker, a 1994 honors graduate in Politics and teaching assistant this year in Feminist Theories, rounds out an experienced coaching staff. Jenn, as mentioned earlier, placed fifth nationally as a junior at the 1993 CEDA National Tournament. She has worked extensively with the junior and novice teams this year, volunteering much of her time to students who wish to improve. In her senior year, Jennifer was honored with 20th speaker at the 1994 CEDA National Tournament. She also registered an impressive 6-2 record at the prestigious Heart of America tournament in Kansas with partner Rowland Hobbs.
Although the receipt of the Founder's Award for CEDA in 1994 indicates the Whitman College Forensics is strong, the program is experiencing an expanded focus to include many new events and activities that are coming to the Northwest.
First, with the hiring of Assistant Director of Forensics Ryan J. Hagemann, Whitman College hopes to renew the strength of the individual events program that was characteristic of Whitman in the early 1980s. While recent successes in CEDA have allowed Whitman to travel nationally and recruit top-caliber debaters, Whitman wishes to attract nationally competitive individual events participants as well. Fortunately, there are several first-year students that appear enthusiastic about the program and are willing to dedicate the effort it takes to become national circuit speakers.
Furthermore, Whitman College's forensics team has expanded along with the Northwest district to include parliamentary debate. Predominate on the East Coast and in the Rocky Mountain region, parliamentary debate is exactly what it sounds like. Two-person teams, representing the government and the opposition, argue over a resolution that they are given fifteen minutes before the round. As Willamette University in Salem, Oregon is hosting the 1995 Parliamentary National Tournament, it is apparent that it is growing across the country.
Finally, Whitman is rather excited about the number of competitive CEDA teams we have. Consistently, Whitman has broken not one, but several teams into elimination rounds this semester. In addition, Whitman has debated in the final round of every regional tournament it has attended this semester, winning two of those tournaments. With the revitalized focus on individual events and the inclusion of parliamentary debate in its program, Whitman also looks to bolster its CEDA program by attracting and creating several national circuit teams.
We want to know what is going on with former participants of Whitman College Forensics! In an attempt to share with you how former Whitman students and forensics participants are faring, we ask that you send any recent achievements, life events, or items that would be of interest to other members of the Whitman Forensics community. You may send these to either Jim Hanson, Director of Forensics, Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA 99362 or Ryan J. Hagemann, Assistant Director of Forensics, Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA 99362. Not only do we encourage you to send in information, but extend an invitation to attend a tournament if you are in the area. There is a schedule of tournaments included in this issue, however, it should be mentioned that CEDA Nationals will be held in San Diego, California; NIET Nationals will be Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Parliamentary Nationals will be in Salem, Oregon. If you have the time, we would definitely enjoy seeing you at the tournament. If you have any questions, do not hesitate in calling either Jim at 509-527-5499 or Ryan at 509-527-4959.
With a respectable number of first-year students and experienced competitors, Whitman College garnered a second place showing at the Oregon State University Individual Events Tournament in October.
Ten Whitman students traveled to Corvallis entered in events such as Persuasion, Prose, Dramatic Interpretation, After-Dinner Speaking, Impromptu, and Parliamentary Debate. By the end of the tournament, Whitman had registered several individual successes and a second place finish behind Region II Individual Events powerhouse Willamette University.
While nearly every Whitman competitor broke to finals or elimination rounds, some notable achievements were Karen Skantze and Ben Waterman's second place finish in Parliamentary Debate and Kristofer Peterson's second place finish in Impromptu and third in extemporaneous.
Earlier this century, Whitman College had several speaking and debate societies that conducted debates on campus. The Department of Speech recognizes the importance and necessity of verbal communication. Therefore, in an attempt to involve as many students as possible in debating and argumentation, the Department with cooperation from the Office of the President, is sponsoring intramural debate tournaments on campus. Interested students can debate topics dealing with campus, national, social or political issues. We are looking forward to our first intramural tournament to be sometime in April, after the team has attended the national tournaments.

For those of you who debated just a few years ago--or perhaps more--you may be wondering, what is debate like now in the 1990's? The answer is that we are in the midst of change--just as we have been for at least the past 35 years.
In the 1960's, N.D.T., the predominate, if not only, form of debate began to focus on information processing and debaters began speaking very rapidly. In 1972, Jack Howe, returning from a tournament in a strong downpour, decided he had had enough of this rapid "machine-gun" style delivery and "squirrel cases." So, he started C.E.D.A. debate. C.E.D.A. debate grew from its small start in the Southwest of the country until today where over 300 schools are involved in the organization. The Northwest began debating C.E.D.A. debate in the mid-1970's and it became an exclusive form of debate in the 1987-1988 season. As C.E.D.A. grew, so did the number of arguments that teams presented. C.E.D.A. began to mimic N.D.T. just as N.D.T. was beginning to slow down. As we enter the 1990's, N.D.T. and C.E.D.A. are virtually equivalent--they both debate policy topics and they are evidence oriented and often involve fairly rapid rates of delivery.
Yet, as the two longest standing forms of debate have become nearly synonymous, a variety of alternatives have sprouted up for those who maintain delivery and analysis are the most important aspects of debate. In N.D.T., there is an auxiliary offshoot called A.D.A. which has established rules restraining rapid delivery and abusive topicality arguments. A.D.A. is strongest on the East Coast and the North Midwest. In the Midwest and South, about 30 teams have split from C.E.D.A. and formed N.E.D.A. whose objective is to emphasize slower delivery and to balance value and policy argumentation. In the East, the Rockies and now strong in the Northwest, Parliamentary debate has become very popular. Parliamentary debate uses no direct quotations and topics are announced 15 minutes before each round. Parliamentary debate has already generated much attention and many teams are competing in this new event.
With all this change, what can we say about the state of debate in the 1990's? My view is that the community is responding to the needs of its members. Parliamentary debate allows our students to compete without extensive research preparation yet still gain many of the benefits of engaging in argumentation. C.E.D.A. debate encourages our students to research subjects intensively and to argue the issues thoroughly. N.D.T., A.D.A. and N.E.D.A. are, from what I have heard, strongly serving the teams who are part of their activities. So, while the debate arena often seems locked in constant battle (no surprise given that debaters and their coaches--are at the forefront of these changes), the changing scene provides multiple educational opportunities for students. And, my guess is, that this will continue as we enter the 21st century.

Safe Hair Loss & Balding Products | Dr. Lewenberg's Formula
Most Effective Hair Loss Treatment
Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas are prepared as a hair spray scientifically designed to be perfectly absorbed through one's hair and scalp. No other formula works this way, especially plain Minoxidil (Rogaine®), which must be rubbed into one's scalp at the risk of irritation.
When developing his hair loss formulas, Dr. Lewenberg had two main objectives: the safety of his patients and the effectiveness of the formula to regrow and maintain their hair.
Through his research, clinical studies, and over twenty years of private practice treating hair loss, Dr. Lewenberg found that the only way to achieve these goals of safety and effectiveness was to develop a hair loss formula combining 0.025% Tretinoin and 2% Minoxidil. As Tretinoin triples the absorption of Minoxidil, using a higher concentration of Minoxidil (anything above 2%) is potentially dangerous and can cause serious side effects such as heart palpitations.
Dr. Lewenberg has safely treated thousands of patients suffering from all forms of hair loss. While each case is unique and the treatment is tailored to the individual's needs, Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas have remained tried-and-true products for the treatment of hair loss.
Active Ingredients
Tretinoin is the key to Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas. This medication is commonly known as Retin-A® and is most often used to rejuvenate skin. Tretinoin is a safe and established medication.
As shown in a series of recent studies, Tretinoin stimulates stem cells in the hair follicle and scalp, allowing them to repair the damaged hair follicles and surrounding structures. This reverses balding, allowing patients to once again naturally grow their own strong, healthy, beautiful hair.
Tretinoin also reduces the levels and effects of DHT (the hormone associated with 75% of cases of hair loss in women and men).
The other main ingredient in Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas is Minoxidil, which has been approved by the FDA as a safe and non-prescription treatment for hair loss.
Minoxidil is the only topical drug approved by the FDA to treat hair loss . Minoxidil increases blood flow and makes hair grow longer
Tretinoin and Minoxidil Combination
Unfortunately, Minoxidil by itself is not readily absorbed in the scalp or hair follicles by itself. Worse, it does not reduce levels of DHT or reverse damage to the hair follicle. Use of Minoxidil alone, or in combination with anti-DHT drugs, might slow down hair loss in some men, but it will not repair the continuous damage to the hair follicle.
It is the Tretinoin working in combination with the Minoxidil that makes Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas so effective. Because Tretinoin triples the absorption of Minoxidil, Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas are applied as a safe and convenient hair spray. This is instead of the standard lotion which must be rubbed in, to prevent any side effects from occurring. Because Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas are safe, they can be used four times per day to activate the stem cells in the damaged hair follicles.
Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas are unique in that they can safely reverse hair loss by causing the hair follicles to heal themselves. Therefore patients not only regrow their hair, but they also easily maintain it.
Beware of Immitations
Because Dr. Lewenberg is a pioneer in the medical treatment of hair loss with thousands of successful patients, his work has been cited around the world. Many online pharmacies quote Dr. Lewenberg's published research to sell Tretinoin. We are not responsible for any solution they cook up. They may have a right to cite Dr. Lewenberg's research, but they are doing so in a misleading manner to sell Tretinoin creams and lotion alone. Tretinoin by itself does not cause hair growth and anyone trying to create this impression is misleading buyers. Also, Applying Tretinoin Cream and then using plain Minoxidil does not provide the same results as will not be absorbed properly and will lead to irritation. The only way to get the results of Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas is to purchase one.
Dr. Lewenberg's Sensitive Formula
In 2003, Dr. Lewenberg developed a Sensitive Formula for patients with sensitive skin. Formulated with extra care and without Propylene Glycol, this new hair loss formula has been used to treat many patients who were unable to tolerate other solutions with Minoxidil, or who have skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis. Dr. Lewenberg's Sensitive Formula is also a better solution for those patients with dry or curly hair. Both Dr. Lewenberg's Original Formula and Dr. Lewenberg's Sensitive Formula contain the exact same medications, 2% Minoxidil and 0.025% Tretinoin.

The creepiest American act of terror you've never heard of
Mary K. had a scratchy throat. Adam J. had bronchitis. Mary R., fresh off childbirth, had full-body aches. Mary M. had a raging headache. Stan J. and his wife, Theresa, had suffered the sudden loss of a loved one. Paula P. just needed to settle the nerves after a red-eye flight. One by one, these seven Chicago area residents popped Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules. It was September 29, 1982. All were dead within 24 hours.
What we know about the Chicago Tylenol murders, as the incidents became known, is we don't know much of anything.
First, some facts we do know: The victims ingested potassium cyanide-laced capsules. These were purchased over the counter at five stores scattered about Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Mass hysteria – and the most intense media furor since Kennedy's assassination – ensued. Confounded local, state, and national law enforcement convened a 140 person investigative task force to crack the case, a flashpoint in the narratives of Big Pharma and the Food and Drug Administration. The Federal Anti-Tampering Act of 1983 (pdf) was a sweeping revision to how we go about packaging food and drugs. This saw marked shifts away from capsules – manipulated with little trace – to solid tablets.
It only got more batshit. Tips poured in, some anonymous, of lone-wolf crazies and international terror/crime syndicates alike. Investigators would amass 15,000 pages of documents, test millions of Tylenol capsules, and interview 400 persons of interest – out of a pool of 20,000.
Two key suspects emerged. Roger Arnold, a DIY chemist and dockhand at a Jewel Foods warehouse west of Chicago, was cleared of any blame. But he'd crack under the media's gaze, getting 30 years for point-blanking John Stanisha, a guy he mistakenly took for a bar owner, Marty Sinclair, whom Arnold thought had instigated the unwanted attention. Arnold was convicted in 1984 for second-degree murder. He'd be released after serving half his sentence, then die in 2008.
The manhunt turned to one James Lewis, an accountant and known extortionist from Kansas City. Lewis had fled to Chicago with his wife, LeAnn, on heat that he'd killed and dismembered an elderly colleague, Raymond West. Under the pseudonyms Robert and Nancy Richardson, the pair locked horns with Frederick McCahey, the Miller Brewing heir who owned Lakeside Travel, where "Nancy" kept the books. ("Robert" drifted as a temp for First National Bank of Chicago.) Lakeside would implode in a blaze of 18 bounced employee checks. One of these, to the tune of $511.33, was LeAnn's. Fuming, the pair blamed McCahey's shoddy management. They were struck down at an August wage-claim hearing, where a presiding officer didn't so much side with McCahey as rule that a claim couldn't be filed against non-existent money. They were also sued by the currency exchange where LeAnn cashed the check, but only paid a quarter of the eventual fine. On September 4, 1982, they lit out for the East Coast, this time as William and Karen Wagner. They'd quickly reassume the Richardson handle, hopping from one dilapidated New York City motel to another.
Then all hell broke loose in Chicago. The seven victims, aged 12 to 35, each fell comatose from the tainted pills. In some cases the cyanide, an almond-scented crystalline, gripped its target before there was even chance to reach for a phone. It didn't take long, either, for an extortion note to surface at Johnson & Johnson, Tylenol's manufacturer. If the drug maker wanted to "stop the killing" it had better wire $1 million to a certain Chicago bank account. Handwritten in capitals, the letter gushed over cyanide – the poison "operates quickly" and "takes so very little" – and had New York postage. It appeared the pseudonymous extortionist was at it again.
Bottles (L to R) acetaminophen, cyanide
James Lewis' extortion letter
By now the Richarson's had new monikers: Edward and Carol Scott were holed up on the 200 block of East 17th Street. Investigators were onto them. Lewis/Richardson/Scott was their man. He'd hoped the extortion note would've framed McCahey. A TIME piece from December 27 reported that when LeAnn surrendered to Chicago authorities on December 14, a day after her husband's arrest, she was held on $5 million bail when U.S. Attorney Dan Webb "alleged that she helped her husband," panicked after the botched scam, "send a mid-October death threat to President Reagan."
Apparently this second note matched Lewis' handwriting. It remains unpublished, though we know it called for federal taxation overhaul. If this didn't happen, the author warned, the poisonings wouldn't let up, and a fleet of remote-controlled model airplanes slamming into the White House would fry Secret Service communications. Lewis, if in fact the author, figured this would wholly deflect suspicion on McCahey.
The two-month, citywide manhunt ended on the fourth floor of the Mid-Manhattan Library at 40th Street and Fifth Avenue. FBI and NYPD officials found James at a carrel "quietly copying names and addresses of newspapers from a reference book," TIME noted. Unarmed, he didn't resist. He was cuffed, hauled to New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center, and held on $5 million bail.
James Lewis after release from Oklahoma prison, 1995 (Charles Krupa/AP)
That's where it breaks down. Code-name TYMURS, as the FBI labeled the case, went cold almost as quick as the leads and suspects accumulated. Only 100 days into investigations, the 140-person unit was whittled down to 20 detectives. Said then Illinois Attorney General Tyrone Fahner in a 1985 New York Times feature: "We lacked a crime scene and we lacked a motive, the two inroads to move into the solution. All that was left was the cyanide."
James Lewis was convicted of extortion. He'd serve thirteen years of a twenty-year sentence, and be paroled in 1995. But with not enough evidence "to prove that he did more than piggyback on the notoriety of the deaths," TIME explained, the case stalled.
Johnson and Johnson's $100,000 reward is still unclaimed.
James and LeAnn currently live in Boston. Both maintain innocence. James writes science fiction. (He rebuffed my request to talk, saying over e-mail how neither his writings nor himself have ever been tied to TYMURS.) His website is littered with all manner of lists and insights picked up on the run. Rule No. 1: "RECOGNIZE that you are being falsely accused by a psychotic, kill crazy lynch mob wearing badges and guns." No. 14: "ALWAYS REMEMBER, you may be the only sane person in sight, because lynch mobs are actually a collection of insane individuals. Only your observations are trustworthy."
Chicago City Health Dept. officials test recalled Tylenol bottles, early October 1982 (Charlie Knoblock/AP)
Theories abound. Maybe the killer or killers replaced the acetominophen, Tylenol's active ingredient, with cyanide onsite, visiting each store (there were five) and purchasing the pills so as to not blow the plan on a shoplifting charge. The switch could've been made in the parking lot – empty some capsules, fill with poison, recap, pepper doctored pills at the top of the bottle, return to store shelf. Repeat elsewhere.
Or maybe it was done at any point of Tylenol's distribution. The atrocity could've been far-reaching if in fact it was a factory or warehouse scheme. (Lewis insists it was.) Johnson & Johnson, reeling from what could've spun out into full-blown historical shaming, had no choice but to pull its entire stock of Tylenol – some 25-30 million bottles – from stores. This sort of recall was unprecedented in American history. Most Chicago-market pills were incinerated or flushed down toilets. The company lost $100 million, but was praised for damage control that favored public safety, not corporate earnings.
Either way, it was the perfect crime. There wasn't a better time or place. Commercial surveillance technologies were only just rolling out. Local economies were still largely cash-based; blazing paper trails didn't concern whoever did this. "There were no pictures, no credit cards, no witnesses, no evidence," as put in a Chicago Reader case profile. Chicago's sprawl, still in the serial-killer shadow of John Wayne Gacy, was the ideal, unsuspecting backdrop, providing the in-plain-sight anonymity that made indiscriminate killings untraceable.
That's why it's chilling. Not only is TYMURS unsolved 30 years on; it was done randomly. Larger chemical and bioterrorist acts have since bested Chicago '82, I won't argue that. A few come to mind. In 1984 Rajneeshee cult members in The Dalles, Oregon, spiked salad bars at 10 restaurants and a grocer with S. typhimurium. Members hoped mass salmonellosis – 751 cases were reported – would prevent citizens from going to the polls, thus swaying elections. (It didn't.) In 1995 Aum Shinrikyo cult members released sarin gas throughout Tokyo rail systems. Thirteen died, 50 were seriously injured and hundreds temporarily blinded. The post-9/11 anthrax letters, thought to have been sent by Bruce Ivins, a deranged microbiologist who worked on anthrax vaccines for the U.S. Army at Fort Detrick, killed five and exposed 17. (Ivins was 62 when he committed suicide on July 28, 2008, with an overdose of Tylenol.)
But TYMURS has largely drifted out of public consciousness. The FBI, citing forensic advances and new leads, actually reopened the investigation in 2009. It's only now, however, that the story may be resurfacing, due to a new suspect: the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. Last month, writing from prison, the Chicago native filed a letter (pdf) in the U.S. Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit. He agreed to provide a DNA sample, but said his effects, then being auctioned, could've exonerated him of TYMURS involvement.

Is it remarkable that Chicago '82 has faded from our collective memory? Sort of. Product tampering and small-scale terrorism weren't new phenomena; we've worried about these sorts of things since at least 1917, according to Chemical and Biological Terrorism (Institute of Medicine – National Research Council), when the National Research Council Committee began crafting what became the Army Chemical Warfare Service. Yet TYMRUS sparked legislation and (failed) copycats and hoaxes, traits typical of high-profile crimes and terrorism, the stuff of nightmares and chronologies and exhaustive analyses. And random, faceless violence at such a low technical threshold had rarely ever struck at this scale, which makes a hole in the literature all the more gaping. It was Tokyo, CBT argues, "that suddenly put the spotlight" on the danger to civilians from chemical and biological attacks" [italics mine]. A 2004 Congressional Research Service report (pdf) on small-scale chemical and biological terrorism mentions Oregon, Tokyo, and the anthrax and ricin letters.
I've had to notify – not remind, but inform – terrorism experts, not to mention my fellow laymen, that they're called the Tylenol murders for a reason. Or, sometimes, that they even went down in the first place.
In The Cognitive Neuroscience of Mind, William Hirst begins a chapter on the plasticity of collective memory with a simple question: "How does a memory become shared across a community?" Hirst focuses on "frequently occurring social interaction," or just how and why we speak of the past, to explore what happens to contrasting accounts and memories as we talk with one another about them. The idea, he argues, is that conversation allows dissimilar memories to "become shared," and as the number of shared memories rise then "collective memories deepen and social bonds increase."
With TYMURS, there are hard facts to reference, to talk about and consider. I should say, rather, there were shareable memories in the shockwave immediately following the poisonings and then, as the years dragged on, even points (see: theories) from which differing takes could (and still do) spring. I'll hazard the guess that many still remember what happened. But being unsolved this whole time, we don't have the sort of closure that could frame collective memories. This cuts down any talk of the case, making our collective Alzheimer's over TYMURS almost unremarkable. We've forgotten, maybe even repressed, what's alluded us:
. . . Collective amnesia applies to material that is related to what was talked about and remembered, only this other material was not talked about and was forgotten. As a result, retrieval-induced forgetting has that added benefit of making what was talked about more memorable, since competing material has become inhibited.
Our attention moved on to Oregon and Tokyo and elsewhere, to sometimes bigger, badder, solved, "more memorable" events. And being such a high-risk calculation (by which I mean the staggering amounts of time and money we need to spend, or that companies must shell out, in gathering the intel to thwart random acts of violence) TYMURS, like any apparently randomized job, is so horrendous in that it was damn near impossible to anticipate. This only hastened our forgetting it after the fact, and increases the struggle of ever understanding just how to think of the murders. Studying what we still have no real method of measuring is depressingly difficult.
So could the absence of the killings from our national psyche also be a matter of classification, of what can and can't be pegged chemical or bioterrorism? The CRS report refers to "C/B terrorism" as "individuals or groups motivated by ideology, but not necessarily accompanied by a stated political or social agenda," using chemical and biological agents. A 1999 empirical analysis by Jonathan Tucker, a noted C/B terrorism expert now at the American Federation of American Scientists, differentiates terrorist from criminal events:
To be classified as a terrorist event, an incident must involve an organization or person that conspires to use violence instrumentally to advance a political, ideologic, or religious goal. Criminal incidents, in contrast, involve extortion, murder, or some other nonpolitical objective.
It makes sense, then, that TYMURS is rarely cited. No one's ever claimed responsibility. "It's difficult to know what the motive was," Tucker said, "whether there was a strictly criminal motivation, or whether there was a political agenda." That it's again an active case, he added, suggests both the FBI and FDA are concerned about it, "because it's a pretty big vulnerability." He couldn't downplay its significance. Nor could I.
Mourners at the triple-Janus funeral (Charles Knoblock/AP)
I grew up near the Jewel Foods where Adam J., the second victim, unknowingly bought poisoned capsules that killed him, his younger brother, Stan, and wife, Theresa. Family gathered in the evening at Adam's place to mourn his death and the bereaved couple, heads throbbing, found Extra-Strength Tylenol in Adam's medicine cabinet. Each popped the recommended dosage. Stan collapsed minutes later, and Theresa shortly after. House, family and first-responders were quarantined with all deliberate speed.
So I'd hear it regularly, how something heinously senseless happened here; how police and fire departments canvassed neighborhoods urging residents over loudspeakers to pitch their Tylenol; that the world turned its eyes, however briefly, on ours and other humdrum towns.
What was it? A watershed. A mystery. All unconscionable brutality aside, the Tylenol case is grim because, until we get a confession or conviction, it could remain obscured in the already gray area of American anomaly. And in an age of brazen admission – be it al-Qaeda or Anonymous or just some teenaged riffraff hacking the CIA and PBS for shits, all tweeting their deeds and misdeeds – all we get here, all we've ever gotten, is the void echoing back in on itself. Neither terrorism nor criminal act, TYMURS fits into no histories. It dissolved into our collective blood stream a long time ago. We may never know the side effects.

As the veterans of this event know, the first few days are lost for those attempting to find friends, campsites and directions on the myriad of one way and restricted road ways through out the site. The Watch will be assisting those who are lost or foundering in the maze. And Ansteorrans will be the supervisors of those particular shift days. As this will be my %&th (I cannot remember) war, I find that volunteering helps put those first days in a different mood than just by sitting around camp listening to old stories. I find volunteering and meeting those form other Kingdoms through their volunteers makes for a great good in the society. It helps me understand them a bit better, rather than hearing about events third hand. Plus if you work the gate road, you can see everybody coming in and getting pumped about the upcoming competitions. Thank you for your time, you may now return your seat to the upright position. Crandall, Olde Phart "In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong." -John Kenneth Galbraith

Six small-business-owners, including a Senator and a one-time legislative candidate, filed a lawsuit today challenging nearly $100 million in tax subsidies Phoenix gave to the developer of a planned mall.
The lawsuit, Turken v. Gordon, was filed in Maricopa County Superior Court and seeks an injunction against the subsidy and to restore the constitutional ban on subsidies.
If successful, the suit would tie the hands of city officials wishing to offer subsidies to lure companies away from neighboring cities.
The lawsuit argues tax subsides violate three provisions of the Arizona Constitution: the gift clause, which prohibits subsidies to corporations; the equal privileges and immunities clause, which says that if the government grants a privilege or immunity to one taxpayer, it must have a good reason for not granting it to all taxpayers; and the provision forbidding special laws that single out one corporation for benefits.
All of those provisions were put in the Arizona Constitution to prohibit precisely the type of special- interest giveaways that CityNorth exemplifies, said Clint Bolick, the director of the Goldwater Institute Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation, which is representing the business owners in the lawsuit.
The plaintiffs are six Phoenix small business owners who, like the overwhelming majority of Arizona businesses, do not receive subsidies: Meyer Turken, owner of Turken Industrial Properties, a small real estate development and management company; Sen. Ken Cheuvront, D-15, owner of Cheuvront Wine and Cheese Cafe and Cheuvront Construction; Zul Gilliani, who owns an ice cream shop at Paradise Valley Mall; James Iannuzo, who owns Sign-a-Rama and made an unsuccessful bid for the House in District 20 in 2004; Kathy Rowe who owns Music Together; and Justin Shafer, owner of Hava Java.
This is Robin Hood in reverse, Bolick said. The City is taking nearly $100 million in taxpayer money to give to a Chicago developer to build a fancy shopping mall. Corporate welfare is a blatantly improper use of government power.

RELEASED: Sept. 2, 2005
Story/Photo Idea
Students will do community service projects from noon-5 p.m. Sept. 5 through the "Labor of Love" initiative. They'll choose from several projects in the Eau Claire area, including: cleaning at Big Falls; helping at the Bolton Refuge House; cleaning and organizing at the Boys & Girls Club; helping at the Children's Museum; weeding gardens for the Community Beautification Association; yard work, dog walking and cleaning at the Eau Claire County Humane Association; and painting at Hand-in-Hand. Students will meet at noon in Towers' lobby. Transportation will be provided to the sites. For details, contact Paula Stuettgen at (715) 836-4803 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Story Idea
First-year students will attend an event Sept. 8 intended to help them make responsible choices about alcohol, sex and drugs. The event will pair Party House, an award-winning local program, with presentations by Randy and Ruthie, stars of "The Real World." Party House is an interactive program that allows students, while sober, to see the dangers of high-risk drinking. It'll begin at 6:30 p.m. in Zorn Arena. The program will reflect current issues facing students. Randy and Ruthie will go on stage at 8 p.m. Ruthie battled alcohol problems on "The Real World." She's overcome her issues and explains how crazy life gets when alcohol/drugs take over. Randy worked in bars and has seen the effects that abuse can cause. A U.S. Department of Education grant to reduce high-risk drinking on campus is partly funding the project. As part of the grant program, UW-Eau Claire hopes for a 5 percent reduction in high-risk drinking by first-year students over the next two years. Interviews with presenters must be scheduled in advance by contacting Paula Stuettgen at (715) 836-4803 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For program details, contact Paul Shepherd, assistant director of Housing and Residence Life, at (715) 836-3630 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Story Idea
Area businesses, city departments and organizations will meet students at the Campus Community Connection Sept. 7. The showcase of city resources, services and retailers will run from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on the Central Campus Mall. For details, contact Paula Stuettgen at (715) 836-4833.
Story Idea
UW-Eau Claire will present a recital of chamber music on Sept. 11. The free concert, which begins at 2 p.m. in Phillips Recital Hall of the Haas Fine Arts Center, is dedicated to the memory of those whose lives were lost or changed in the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Musicians are soprano Mitra Sadeghpour, oboist Christa Garvey and flutist Tim Lane — members of the UW-Eau Claire music faculty, with pianist Beverly Soll, the arts/events coordinator. For details, call Jennifer Hinners at (715) 836-2787.

Teledyne Continental Motors has
issued its first revision to a Mandatory Service Bulletin issued
last month, calling for replacement of certain cylinders. The
updated MSB adds 300 additional cylinders, manufactured since
August 2006... 15 months longer than the original timeline.
As ANN reported, on February 12 TCM issued a
voluntary recall on certain piston cylinders produced and shipped
since November 2007, after owners reported cylinder head cracking
found during regular maintenance inspections. That MSB affected
cylinders on certain 470, 520 and 550 series engine models; the
expanded MSB covers the same engine modes, but now indicates
problems may have appeared on cylinders older than in the original
Per the MSB, "TCM has determined that the EQ3 cylinder head
casting tool used in the manufacturing process created an area of
reduced thickness that may result in a crack after prolonged
operation. This crack manifests itself in the area between the
upper sparkplug bore and the fuel injector/primer nozzle bore.
"The cracked cylinders returned to date have occurred on engines
from high use fleet operations with occurrence times ranging from
approximately 430 to 1,300 total hours. Replacement cylinders
conforming to proven production history will be provided."
There have been no reported accidents or incidents stemming from
the manufacturing defect.
The company hopes to avoid issuance of an Airworthiness Bulletin
on the problem, stating it believes all suspect cylinders can be
replaced within the next year, on TCM's dime.

Department Mission:
The Computer Studies program supports the mission of Belmont Abbey College by preparing students to succeed using computer systems to solve problems faced by individuals and organizations and to keep up with emerging technology and its uses. Designed to appeal to students with a wide variety of computer-related interests, our programs enable students to solve problems using their knowledge of computer technology, reasoning skills, ability to gather information, and skill at communicating proposed solutions effectively to a variety of audiences. This approach enables students to understand and evaluate the impact of their solutions and decisions and to continue their education independently. We welcome a diverse body of students and provide them with programs that foster an appreciation of their ethical, social, and public responsibility, helping them to lead lives of integrity, to succeed professionally, and to become responsible citizens.
Department Goals:
The Computer Studies Department offers two minors and a concentration in Business (see Concentrations section under Department of Business, above). Courses are offered in computing fundamentals, computer programming, systems analysis, and computing applications. The goals of the department are to help students gather information about information systems, reason correctly about them, solve problems with information systems, evaluate the impact of their solutions, and then, to communicate their reasoning and proposed solutions effectively to a variety of audiences. In addition, the department helps students acquire the skills needed for ongoing independent study.
The minor in Information Systems is designed for students who want to understand, analyze, specify, use, or manage computer-based information systems without necessarily needing extensive training in computer programming.

I have had this problem since becoming vegan--a ridiculous and "has-to-go" amount of flatulence. I can't take Beano obviously, as both the tablet and liquid forms are made with fish gelatin. What can I take, if anything, to get rid of this problem? It's so bad that my husband stopped sleeping in the same room with me and I am chronically embarrassed at work. Please help. It is all sources of fiber so I obviously can't make diet changes since the foods causing it are needed sources of nutrients (and are my main source of calcium as well).
Thank you,
Article continues below
Gas is caused mainly by the breakdown of food fiber in our large intestine. The good news is that gas production is actually healthy. It may protect the intestine from cancer, and promotes healthy bacterial growth, keeping us regular and better able to handle infections.
The bad news is that, at least from what I have observed, vegans seem to have more flatulence than others in general. I'm not sure how long you've been vegan, but keep in mind that for most vegans, the body gets accustomed to the dietary changes and produces less overall gas over time. It's a shame that our society regards a normal, natural, healthy bodily function as an embarrassing thing we feel the need to conceal at all costs.
It is doubtful that your flatulence will be eliminated (no matter what your diet), but there are a few things you can try that might decrease gas production.
