accepted practice among those who write obituaries is to speak no
ill of the dead. Perhaps that's because some consider it impolite
to excoriate those who aren't in a position to defend themselves.
Or maybe it's because of an atavistic fear that their shades (or
at least their friends) will come back to seek revenge.
I put a bigger value on truth than on politesse, at least if my
obits of people like Nixon, JFK Jr., and Princess Di (among others)
are indications. The question is, of course, what is the truth?
So let me give you my version about Reagan.
have mixed feelings about Reagan. On one hand, he seemed like a
genuinely nice and decent human being – something you can't
say about many U.S. presidents. His heart seemed to be in the right
place on most issues, and he said many appropriate and noble things.
On the other hand, his administration was 95 percent talk and only
5 percent action when it came to rolling back the State. Of course,
even just talk and good intentions are better than nothing. But
let's look at his record.
theory, Reaganomics (unfairly characterized as Voodoo Economics
by the disastrous elder Bush – one indication of his principles)
boiled down to reducing taxes and the size of government. Bravo!
Who but the malevolent or terminally ignorant wouldn't approve?
In practice, however, it was something else entirely, amounting
mainly to a reduction of the top marginal tax bracket from 70 to
28 percent. It was a laudable start, but largely offset by many
1980, the final year of the benighted Jimmy Carter, the federal
government spent $591 billion, with a $73.8 billion deficit. In
1988, the last year of the sainted Ronald Reagan, federal spending
was up to $1.064 trillion (an increase of 80 percent), with a deficit
of $155 billion (an increase of 110 percent). Sure, the money was
worth less under Reagan – but that was mostly due to the outrageous
deficit spending of the government he controlled.
now recall that Reagan promised to eliminate the horrendous Carter
deficits. Instead, he more than doubled them, creating an artificial
boom – and a belief in government circles that deficits "don't
matter" … the result of which will be, in time, a gigantic
bust and likely an unprecedented economic disaster.
reduction of the top tax was excellent for many reasons I needn't
bother discussing here. But in fact, the overall tax burden wasn't
cut at all. First, Social Security taxes were raised significantly
(from 6.13 percent on the first $25,900 in 1980, to 7.51 percent
on the first $45,000 by 1988). SS taxes only serve to prop up the
scandalous Ponzi scheme until it collapses in a war between the
generations. In the meantime, it hurts the little guy worst.
the rapid inflation of the dollar resulted in "bracket creep,"
which pushed almost everyone automatically into higher brackets.
was the elimination of "tax loopholes" – for example,
the abolition of numerous shelters, the elimination of the deductibility
of IRA contributions, the imposition of the Alternative Minimum
Tax, lengthening of depreciation schedules, the tightening of investment-related
deductions, a clampdown on offshore activities, and overall tightening
of IRS enforcement – among many other things.
fact, there can be no such thing as a reduction of taxes unless
there's a reduction of government spending. That's because if the
government doesn't get revenue from society directly through taxes,
it must take it indirectly through inflation of the currency. Or
borrowing, which simply puts off taxation and inflation into the
amid a lot of rhetoric about reducing the size of the State, the
beast grew like Topsy under Reagan.
on, when he boldly canned the air-traffic controllers for striking,
it seemed as if he might make some serious changes. But he didn't
go on to abolish the FAA or any other federal agency. Not even the
completely redundant and wasteful Department of Energy, which he
had explicitly promised to do. Not even the Selective Service, even
though in 1979, he said it "rests on the assumption that your
kids belong to the state … That assumption isn't a new one. The
Nazis thought it was a great idea." Good rhetoric around a
core of hot air.
talked the talk, but rarely walked the walk. I don't know why he
failed. Maybe he became overwhelmed. Maybe the bureaucracy was just
too entrenched. Maybe he was surrounded by too many bad influences
in the top rungs of his regime. Maybe he just got to like things
the way they were and was corrupted by the power.
in his regime, there was a catchphrase among the more libertarian-oriented
members of his administration, mostly second and third-tier players:
"If not us, who? If not now, when?" Well, they were right.
It wasn't going to be them, or then. If it proved impossible to
roll back the State under what seemed like ideal conditions (a generation
ago), it's going to prove to be three times as hard today, because
it's that much bigger and more entrenched.
really bugs me …
sure, I'm disappointed in Reagan's failure, but certainly don't
hold that against him. He was a decent, honorable man who probably
did the best he could. What bothers me are the myths, lies, and
bogus traditions that seem to surround the man and his death. The
conversion of a man into a hero for ulterior motives.
custom of apotheosizing dead politicians of whatever stripe is a
very bad one. In a free society, when a man dies his memorial is
created and paid for by his friends and family. But it's shameful
to distract a whole nation for a week over the death of every ex-president.
And even worse to force everyone to pay for it, whether they approved
of the man or not.
certainly ex-presidents, are simply citizens. And politicians. They're
not emperors or royalty. And the idea of treating anyone as if they
were should be hateful to Americans. The talk of putting him on
a coin only shows how degraded the ethos of America has become.
Times were (before 1909, with the Lincoln penny) we wouldn't dream
of putting dead politicians on coinage. Like the Romans of the Republic,
our coins only had images of things like Virtue and Liberty. But
like the Romans, we've been transformed into an empire. Fortunately,
we don't yet have sitting rulers enshrined on the worthless tokens
in our pockets.
Reagan a unique force, personally responsible for winning the Cold
War and economically revitalizing America? No. Fact is, in all societies,
at all times, there are many men with intense desire to achieve
power. Why do only certain ones succeed? I'd say because what they
represent caters best to the spirit of the times. This becomes clear
when we look at history, especially turbulent times of crisis.
instance, in the '30s and '40s, all over the world leaders were
cut from pretty much the same cloth: dictators, or virtual dictators,
were the order of the day. Stalin in Russia, Mussolini in Italy,
Hitler in Germany, DeGaulle in France, Churchill in England, Roosevelt
in the United States, Franco in Spain, Tojo in Japan, Chiang and
Mao in China. Don't be shocked to see them listed together. These
men differed from each other only in style, what their societies
would let them get away with, and the degree to which they trampled
both civil and economic liberties.
the economically disastrous '70s, all the world was looking for
leaders with the common sense to take a different tack. It wasn't
just Reagan in the United States and Thatcher in England who saw
that socialism was a dead duck – it happened throughout most
of the world. Even Russia and China, the last places on earth where
one might have expected it to happen, went to market economies.
The prize for the best rhetoric absolutely goes to Reagan and Thatcher,
and rhetoric is important. But the leaders of at least two dozen
other countries should get the prize for the actual degree of constructive
change that occurred under them.
about the assertion that Reagan's defense buildup is what collapsed
the Soviet Union? I consider that complete nonsense. In fact, Reagan's
huge rearmament program (combined with an adventurist foreign policy
(exemplified by the Grenada invasion and the bombing of Libya) very
nearly precipitated World War III. Remember Reagan was surrounded
by most of the same Neo-Conmen who surround Bush today. The difference
is that, although he was certainly no rocket scientist, Reagan was
both a lot smarter and wiser than Bush; he kept them under at least
a modicum of control. As important, Reagan had a good heart, whereas
Baby Bush is as mean as a snake.
USSR had always been an economic basket case – it sustained
itself only through the export of roughly processed raw materials
and loans from the West. As economically illiterate as the Soviet
nomenklatura were, they knew they were basically nothing more than
a large Third World country with a powerful military – which
was bankrupting them. When they saw Reagan's arms buildup they were
faced with a choice: Start World War III while they still had a
chance of "winning," or do nothing and hope for the best.
they waited. But Reagan's arms buildup didn't precipitate their
collapse – they were already vastly overcommitted to the military.
We escaped World War III by the skin of our teeth. But we're not
going to escape the nasty economic and social consequences of Reagan
committing America to Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace.
did bring down the USSR? Its demise was inevitable, but the timing
was brought on by the collapse of oil and other commodity prices
after 1980. Reagan's excellent rhetoric (like, "Mr. Gorbachev,
take down this wall!", and calling the USSR an "evil empire")
did add some important psychological impetus. It was important for
the slaves in the communist world to see somebody, finally, calling
a spade a spade. But the USSR would have collapsed anyway. Just
as the Chinese would have free-marketized anyway, simply because
people can ignore reality for only so long.
afraid Reagan can only take credit for being a nice guy who led
a full and interesting life. Politically, he played a minor supporting
role on the plus side, while nearly starting a global thermonuclear
war, further entrenching the State, and undermining the currency.
Was he a popular president? I guess so, and he deserved popularity
more than most presidents.
my guess is that most of the people in tank-tops and shorts you
saw lining the path of his funeral procession knew nothing about
what he did or was supposed to represent. They were mostly just
curiosity-seekers and idlers, Boobus americanus out to kill some
time and take in a spectacle.

iPad App Promises Nervous Fliers it Can Land a Plane
"Has anybody got an app that can fly a plane?"
"Has anybody got an app that can fly a plane?"
It's a system for your iPhone to detect when it's in free fall and to act accordingly to stop it from smashing.
Mac Fan, a Japanese magazine, revealed what they believe to be schematics and specs surrounding Apple's rumoured 12.2-inch tablet.
Nearly four years later, tablets are still not living up to their potential.
iOS or Android? 8-inches or 10-inches? Mind control or holographic visuals? Have your say.
Anger is an energy (that you can buy with in-app purchases).
"Technology simply does not function as the plaintiff subjectively believes it should," argues Apple.
Behind every Surface Pro 3, there's an iPad running the show.
If you don't have an iPad and want an iPad, this is the best iPad.
It may have missed the autumn iPad push, but it's still out there.
The iPad Air 2's anti-glare screen is a major innovation. Its little brother? Hmm.
The original iPad Air was super slim, and Apple has somehow managed to make the iPad Air 2 even thinner – at the expense of a smaller battery. That life-adding A8X chip is going to have to earn its keep.
Verdicts! Get your fresh verdicts here! Or what the world's critics have decided to say about Apple's new tablet, all in one place. Handy.
People aren't upgrading them every two years like they would with an iPhone, because what's the point?
It's taken a few years, but Flickr has finally got its act together and launched an official iPad app, only four years after Apple unleashed its first tablet on the world.

Parents of boys in filthy home plead not guiltyJanuary 23, 2014 @ 11:26 am
DENVER (AP) - Two parents accused of neglecting their four young boys and keeping them in a filthy Denver apartment pleaded not guilty to felony child abuse charges on Thursday.
Wayne Sperling, 66, and Lorinda Bailey, 36, arrived separately for their arraignments and sat in different rows as they waited for their case to be called. They stood before the judge, separated by their two lawyers, and they did not speak to each other during the hearing. They declined to comment as they left.
The boys, ages 2 to 6, were removed from their home in October after an emergency room doctor asked social services to check on the family after Bailey took her youngest son to the hospital for a cut on his forehead. The doctor noticed that the boy was unwashed, smelled like cigarette smoke and had bruising behind an ear consistent with pinching.
Court documents say the apartment was found to be filled with cat feces and flies and that the children could communicate only in grunts, were malnourished and weren't toilet trained. Doctors couldn't find any medical records at all for the 5-year-old.
Sperling told investigators he was the primary guardian for the boys. Lorinda Bailey said she was living in another apartment in the same building but saw the boys most days.
Neighbors have said they previously called social services with concerns about the family, but the agency has refused to discuss that or its previous involvement with the family, citing confidentiality reasons.
Sperling and Bailey have lost custody of other children amid similar allegations.
Police were called to the couple's apartment in October 2006 when passers-by reported two young children were playing in the street. According to court records, one child spoke few words and mostly grunted and pointed to communicate. The officers said they found rotten food, trash and insects in the apartment.
Sperling and Bailey pleaded guilty in June 2007 to misdemeanor child abuse and lost custody of their three oldest children. In addition, a baby they were expecting at the time and another child who followed were taken care of temporarily by a foster family before being returned. They later had two more sons. Those four children are the ones they're now accused of abusing.
The case is not headed to trial anytime soon. Defense attorneys and prosecutors expect a number of motions to be filed and will discuss them at a hearing scheduled for April 18.

Welcome to DSAP.net
DSAP - Disseminated Superficial Actinic Porokeratoses (porokeratosis)
DSAP is such an uncommon skin disorder that there is very little information available on it. I am not a doctor, but I've learned that amazingly (and sadly) the majority of Dermatologists either haven't even heard of DSAP or just plain can't recognize DSAP. General practice doctors? Forget about it! I found this out the hard way, learning 6 years later that I had some of these genetically predisposed spots that are brought on by sun and/or ultraviolet exposure, and in some cases possibly by some sort of relaxation of the epidermal immune system. Amazingly I had visited one family physician and four dermatologists over the years before I finally got the correct diagnosis. These various doctors misdiagnosed it as a fungus, "nothing", seborrheic keratosis, folliculitis, actinic keratosis (AKA solar keratosis). One of my dermatologists amazingly even did a biopsy for cancer before concluding that my skin condition was "nothing". Dermatologists most commonly misdiagnose DSAP patients as having AK (actinic keratosis). I received one email from a patient who was even misdiagnosed as having lupus of the skin! I have even heard cases of psoriasis and SCLE being mistaken as being DSAP. In my case the one doctor who finally correctly diagnosed me was actually unsure whether I had actinic keratosis or DSAP or a combination of both. I think it's a major error to be misdiagnosed as having actinic keratosis because AK is a much more serious (precancerous) condition.
After having misdiagnosed or even after having correctly diagnosing a DSAP patient, doctors will often put the patient on a topical medication called Efudex (AKA Fluorouracil, Fluorouplex), which only makes DSAP look horribly red and irritated for many weeks or months, while really doing nothing to improve the skin condition. After reviewing many emails and guestbook posts I have come to my own conclusion that Efudex is an aggravating waste of time when it comes to "treating" DSAP. This medication was designed for AK (Actinic Keratosis) - Not DSAP. Carac is the newest variation of Efudex. While I am waiting for your reports on this drug, I am skeptical as to whether to expect anything different from Carac. Based on email reports from patients, I am of the opinion that you should also avoid any other medications that cause a harsh, red reaction (such as Tazorac, Retin-A, and Aldara). Based on feedback I've received, I have not received one single report of these meds clearing up DSAP. I really don't know why doctors insist on prescribing these meds unless there is a suspicion that a patient might have AK or a combination of AK and DSAP. Also I say avoid Levulan light therapy or "Blue Light" therapy. I've had four reports on this treatment and they were all negative. Based on years of feedback from patients I have concluded that at this point in time there is no medication (topical or oral) that is really worth it for this condition, although Triamcinolone (described further down) sounds interesting.
Important discovery made at Anhui Medical University in China
NEWS STORY - Sept 16, 2012 - A team of researchers at Anhui Medical University in China and BGI has found strong evidence that there is a link between mutations of the mevalonate kinase gene (MVK) and DSAP. It is a major step toward discovering the genetic mechanism that causes DSAP, and sheds light on its further molecular diagnosis and treatment. According to Tao Jiang "Our study provides new insights into the pathogenesis of DSAP, and the identified MVK mutations offer the best candidate targets for gene diagnosis and clinical treatment of the disease". According to Xuejun Zhang, President of Anhui Medical University, this study "provides scientific basis for revealing DSAP pathogenesis, genetic counseling, risk prediction, prenatal diagnosis, new drug development, clinical diagnosis and treatment." Let's hope that this leads to new drug developments!
Welcome side effect from chemotherapy
I have received two reports from DSAP patients who were delighted to see their DSAP spots "shed off" as a side effect from being on chemotherapy, but both reported that DSAP simply grew back a year or two later. Accordingly I this makes me skeptical that ANY one time treatment can hold up over the long term. Getting rid DSAP spots (if at all possible) is certainly not as simple and easy as burning off a common wart.
Dovonex / Tacalcitol / Calcipotriol
There are two reports of DSAP patient's skin clearing from using Tacalcitol and from Calcipotriol. Unfortunately in all of my years of running this site and receiving emails from patients, I haven't ever heard of one single patient ever having success from using topical D3 analogs like Tacalcitol, which is usually prescribed for psoriasis. In the USA Calcipotriol is sold under a different name called Dovonex. I will say that it can't hurt to try Dovonex or Calcipotriol because (unlike drugs like Efudex) there is no harsh reaction from using this topical cream.
Avoiding both the sun and harsh medical treatments may be your best course of action
One thing that really does help for DSAP improvement over time is simply using the strongest sunscreens and avoiding direct sunlight as best you can. I promise you will see improvement! This is especially true when you consider that when patients are first diagnosed with this condition, cosmetically it seems to be at its very worst. Often this is because patients had been hanging out in the sun with little regard for the need for strong sunscreen. Also avoid all of the harsh treatments described on this site. They will only cause additional cosmetic setback. I believe that some of the redness of DSAP is maybe a bit like the knees you scarred as a kid. It can take years for that redness to improve once you commit to giving your skin a chance to "recover". And when combined with some creative use of sunless tanners you can actually find yourself looking pretty normal again.
Current "treatment" for DSAP is only said to be suppressive or palliative (to try to make appear less offensive) rather than curative. Most patients (especially myself and those with light complexions) will argue that these harsh "palliative" treatments (like Efudex, lasers, freezing, and others) are a waste of effort and will worsen your appearance short term and may even worsen your long term appearance. I have however read and received reports of people's varying degrees of improvement from deep freezing and from using laser treatment, but for every positive report I get a negative report from patients who tried freezing but wound up looking worse or no better long term. Accordingly save yourself the aggravation; If you decide to venture down the freezing or laser treatment route I suggest trying only a test spot or two to start. Read some of the guestbook posts in this site BEFORE trying any treatment. Email as many people as you can with questions. Again, people with very fair skin might be best suited to just avoid freezing or laser treatment.
My gut feeling is that the only real DSAP treatment that will ever really work will emerge from an off label use of medication(s) intended for psoriasis and/or actinic keratosis, or emerge someday from proteonics (protein expression) or stem cell therapy. Hopefully more studies like the one in China continue. One of the first hurdles in getting research under way is finding patients to donate DNA samples. Fortunately as a result of maintaining this page for over ten years I already have contact info for many DSAP patients. I would expect that a good number of these people would be more than happy to help in research studies if one ever materializes.
DSAP is considered a rare disorder so most dermatologists have little (if any) experience with "treatments". Therefore it would be wise to do your OWN foot work and second guess your doctor's "treatment" advice, especially if they want to put you on a harsh treatment like Efudex, or chemical peel or extensive freezing treatment without trying test spots first and waiting several months. When first diagnosed, DSAP patients are often desperate to "try anything", and doctors feel compelled to at least "try something", however the best path may just be to simply make an effort to avoid the sun, wear strong sunscreen and take no medications at all, or maybe try "test spots" with various medications and/or freezing. Ask your doctor how many patients he/she has worked with. Just how knowledgeable is he/she? Does your doctor even know what DSAP is? It is YOUR OWN responsibility to find a knowledgeable doctor! Based on my experience there are very few who know their field inside and out. I believe that you might be best off finding an older (experienced) doctor who has practiced a long time and works out of an office with perhaps other dermatologists from whom they can get 2nd opinions. DSAP mainly effects people of European decent (white people) so perhaps you might get better diagnosis from a Caucasian doctor. There seems to be too little knowledge on the disorder. Much of the knowledge that IS out there is clouded and confused. But after reading this page YOU might become more knowledgeable on DSAP than the vast majority of dermatologists! I have sorted through the mess (by scouring the net, talking to some doctors and many patients) and finally created this page to share my experience, and for all of us to gather info from around the world about DSAP. Bookmark www.dsap.net and periodically check back for the latest DSAP news.
Some facts about DSAP:
Analysis of DSAP shows altered DNA ploidy, chromosomal instability, and abnormal over-expression of tumor suppressor p53 protein.
DSAP is characterized by annular (round-ish), dry patches (or lesions) that eventually become pigmented (red, brown) with continued sun exposure, and (from my experience) from scratching /picking, and time. In a perfect world doctors would be able to identify DSAP years in advance when only a few faint round outlines of DSAP are becoming visible, with no discoloration (or sometimes with even HYPO-pigmentation). Areas effected are usually sun exposed areas of the arms and /or legs. I've read about other areas of the body being affected such as the back and belly. It effects the LEGS of women more than men (I have to theorize that this may be from wearing dresses rather than from genetic reasons). In men it is said to effect the arms more (than legs). In about 15% of patients the cheeks of the face are effected, otherwise (oddly enough) the face is usually spared. If a male patient has keratotic spots on their arms and / or legs but NOT on their face, a savvy doctor will pick up on this (as more of an indicator of DSAP than Actinic Keratosis). But don't rule out that AK (or DSAP) may be less prevalent on a female patient's FACE due to habitually wearing makeup (which can contain or simply act as a sunscreen). Nearly 1/3 of patients experience minor itching. DSAP seems to be 3 times more likely in women. The average age at which patients start to see DSAP become prominent is about 40.
RIGHT: These are smaller DSAP spots. Perhaps a few years earlier these spots appeared as nothing more than very slight raised borders (with NO discoloration) viewed only up close by a discriminating eye against a backdrop of light, and dry skin. The difficulty in getting early detection is that DSAP doesn't appear with hyperpigmentation (redness) until years after the accumulated sun exposure. People who have been so lucky as to get diagnosed very early on (before there is hyper pigmentation) really need to wise up to the fact that they need to make lifestyle changes and stay out of the sun starting NOW! There is a phenomenon about DSAP that I have noticed (and so have other patients who have emailed me) and that is that the redness of DSAP spots always seems to become prominent rather suddenly. Perhaps all in one summer it suddenly becomes a very noticeable cosmetic issue.Larger DSAPspots typically aren't as perfectly round as depicted in this photo shows.
In most cases DSAP is inherited, but sometimes people develop DSAP (or at least have very high susceptibility to develop DSAP) when their immune systems are not working well. Radiation therapy can severely exacerbate DSAP! You don't even want to see the horrific photos of DSAP lesions that develop after going through radiation cancer therapy.
A disservice paid to patients by dermatologists is the failure to inform DSAP patients about hereditary factors. It is vital that family members be informed if a parent (or sibling) has been diagnosed as having DSAP spots! In the late 1960's it was concluded by a researcher that DSAP acts autosomal hereditary. From my understanding of heredity, each offspring has a 50% chance of inheriting the DSAP gene if one parent has the faulty "DSAP gene". If both parents have the DSAP gene then I believe there is either a 50% or 75% chance of gene transmission. With these odds I'd say family members might like to know the risks! Keep in mind that a certain level of sun exposure is required before the lesions appear on the skin. For example: one may have the DSAP gene BUT live in long sleeve climate, or habitually avoid the sun, or habitually wear sunscreen thus NEVER developing DSAP spots or significant DSAP spots. DSAP is brought on by sun exposure BUT other factors may be involved. DSAP lesions have "thread-like" outer boarders, making them perhaps look sort of like craters on the moon when viewed at an angle against a backdrop of light. (Note: These "raised borders" are in actuality much smaller than sewing thread. Also the "thread-like" borders are much less noticeable when skin is wet from vitamin E, sun screen, etc. Skin should be DRY and oil free to really see the characteristic defined borders.) DSAP spots usually encircle pore(s) that are sort of "hardened", clogged, not functional, and stick up slightly. DSAP has been labeled as "pre-cancerous" but development of true skin cancer in DSAP is "uncommon" and in fact one study seemed to suggest that the only DSAP patients who developed cancer were those who very irresponsibly continued to be exposed to the sun. For most people DSAP is a cosmetic problem and a lifestyle changing problem but NOT a cancer concern. (Note: I have received emails from people who have had DSAP for 40 years and been cancer free.) DSAP compares with actinic keratosis in which some spots can develop into cancer within 6 months. I have heard talk of DSAP "remission" but it appears that those who develop DSAP slowly over the years do NOT experience remission.
I e-mailed a doctor who authored a web page that spoke of DSAP "spontaneous resolution":
MY QUESTION: Your article on DSAP reads "Protection from ultraviolet radiation may lead to spontaneous resolution." and "Lesions may resolve with discontinuation of ultraviolet exposure." I'm wondering just how rare or common this occurrence can be. Have DSAP patients seen their skin clear up?
RESPONSE: Yes, DSAP patients have seen their skin clear up after exposure to ultraviolet radiation is discontinued. I cannot give you a percentage for resolution. The reports of this occurrence generally have a clear causal relation, eg. fair skinned European who goes to the beach for 6 weeks, develops DSAP, which then resolves after protection from further ultraviolet exposure.
MY QUESTION: 6 weeks? OK. What about patients who develop DSAP slowly over the years. Is reversal seen in these instances?
RESPONSE: Improvement is seen, but not complete resolution. Reduced risk of malignant
degeneration is the major reason to protect from ultraviolet radiation.

Wilmington PD looking for city shooter
Wilmington Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a man who fired shots in the 400 block of East 9th Street around 6:45 Wednesday evening.
Police say surveillance video shows two separate groups of males coming together at an intersection and exchanging words.
The two groups began to separate and the surveillance footage shows a black male in a gray, hooded sweatshirt reach into his waistband and pull out a gun.
The man began to fire shots, narrowly missing a small child who was standing nearby.
No one was reported hit by the gunfire.

Community support of the West Webster Fire Department is still pouring in.
A morning walk was held Saturday to honor the firefighters killed and injured on Christmas Eve.
The organization, Operation Patriot Foundation, put together a walk for West Webster Firefighters at Greece Ridge Mall.
Dozens of people came out to the charity walk. They included first responders and military personnel from around the area, and some from out of town.
The event was intended to bring the community together for a one lap walk around the mall to pay tribute to firefighters Mike Chiapperini, Tomasz Kaczowka, Theodore Scardino, Joseph Hofstetter and Greece Police Officer John Ritter.
"I woke up in that morning and got the news I was stunned," said Operation Patriot Foundation President Mark Rossney. "I don't know how to express my emotions. As an organization that supports fire, police, and military we needed to do something. So we put this together."
Money raised at the event will be donated to the West Webster Volunteer Fireman's Association.

I know most people write about weight loss on these blogs but my overall goal of being on Spark is not to lose weight. I am rather trying to make myself more healthy both physically & mentally. So the tone of my blog may be a bit different.
I am doing my very best to stay as positive as I can but I cannot express how incredibly frustrating it is to know there's something seriously not okay with you (just not knowing exactly what).
I finally got in to see a Neurologist and it is yet to be determined as to why I had a seizure. (If you want to know the history of my situation, feel free to read my profile or other blog posts). The Neurologist is speculating at this point that it's either a) I have a very rare condition that causes me to seize only a couple times in my life or b) a form of epilepsy that causes me to seize only in my sleep. Pretty scary things to think about.
I am battling a couple of things in my head...
1. This is something I definately cannot control. Although, I am a FIRM believer that being good to your body (ie: eating well, excercising, taking care of yourself) does more good than harm. I'm also a VERY FIRM believer in POSITIVE THINKING!!! With all that in mind, at the end of the day- I can't stop these seizures from happening. I have no control over it and have to learn to not let my anxiety get the better of me...which leads me to my next point...
2. While I like to think I take pretty good care of myself- I do live alone. What if I seize again when I'm by myself? What if I hit my head again; only this time not being so lucky and really hurting myself? These are things that give me constant anxiety. That, and every time my eye twitches (which is usually due to being tired) I have a mini panic attack. I certainly don't want a condition I can't even control take control over me.
3. I have been offered medication which would guarantee (99.9%) that I won't seize BUT is the same grade they give to epileptic patients. Unfortunately, this medication has some side effects such as: dizziness, slowness, amplifies depression or moodiness (can make you snappy). These are all things I certainly do not want in my life. I have done extensive research via internet & books about this medication and it seems like pretty scary stuff. This is also coming from the girl who doesn't even like taking anything when I have a headache.
The decision of: peace of mind OR possibly altering my personality. What's a girl to do?
It's been awhile since I've written. I was away on VACATION in sunny Barbados!! Just what the Dr. ordered :) It's amazing how when you're fully removed from situations how much more clarity you gain. I have some actions in place to ease the stress/tension from my life and make everyday even more amazing. I also have my appointment with the Neurologist this week (finally) so hopefully he/she can offer some insight into the seizures.
Even though it's only been about a month- I've already learned a lot about vitamins/Supplements so I thought I would share some of my findings.
I was taking the "Be Wholesome" multivitamin pack from GNC and have learned it's just okay. Nothing super. I feel you can get more "bang for your buck" with just a multi vitamin as these are quite expensive for what they are. I also find there's almost too much stuff in them. I like being able to pick & choose specific things my body actually needs. I will continue to take the "Be Beautiful" vitamin individually as it has helped with strengthening my nails & hair.
Still taking PASSION FLOWER to help with anxiety and I cannot express how much these really do help!
I'm trying a new multi-vitamin WITH a probiotic called Multibionta. If you go to their website they have a $10 off coupon! It's a well rounded multi so I look forward to sharing my findings with this one.
Taking an Omega supplement (from Genuine health, you can get this at any drug store). I'm also anxious to share my findings with this one. My aunt (aka the vitamin know-it-all) says Omega is a good thing to focus on as it's good for energy & immune system.
Still taking iron Supplements but not daily. Unfortunately, they have really messed with my system. I am now on a steady diet of Metamucil to go along with. I must say, they have some less gross flavors now though. I currently am using raspberry lemonade and it's not THAT bad. The iron really does help with my energy though. I'm always amazed and if I take more around/during my period- it helps immensely.
All in all, I have found that taking vitamins/Supplements in general have improved my energy levels. Food these days simply do not have all of the nutrients our body needs. I also find drinking mineral water (i usually have 2 bottles a week as it's high in sodium so you don't want to over do it). I highly recommend going to your family dr. and getting blood work done to determine a good vitamin regime for you!
That's the progress on my vitamins so far :)
Have a great day everyone!
It's been a couple of days since my last blog. I was feeling really under the weather. I had a UTI (urinary tract infection) at the beginning of the week so my Dr. had put me on antibotics. They were a DOOZY and made me super dizzy and nauseous. I went back to the Dr. yesterday and I was having a reaction to them so he told me to stop. Today I am feeling MUCH better!
My blogs are really going to be heavy on vitamins/supplements & nutrition as these are my focus points.
Onto the good stuff. My aunt who is the most knowledgeable person I know about supplements & vitamins sent me a 4 page email with a bunch of advice and couldn't be more pleased at my new found information.
On top of my new, healthy diet plan...here are the vitamins/supplements I have started taking. I will continue to track my progress on here in hopes that I can help others with this amazing knowledge that I am obtaining along the way.
Iron- this is assisiting with my anemia. I have been taking iron supplements for about a month and while I'm still feeling quite exhausted- these have certainly made a difference. I am on a low dosage (35mg) and found that by taking 1 every other day has helped significantly. Everyone I talked to said that taking iron would constipate me but I have found these to gentle enough they haven't been a huge bother. A little bother but not as drastic as everyone made them out to be.
Probiotic- I've been taking a pro-biotic for about 2 years now. This helps lessen UTI's, yeast infections and helps with stomach digestion. I use the Life Brand Pro-biotic for women with cranberry. It is AMAZING!
Passion Flower- I went to see a naturopath about a year ago and she got me on these. They help greatly with anxiety. I HIGHLY recommend these after taking what seemed like a million different things (both natural & prescription). These work like a charm and you can even take up to 2 a day.
I have now begun taking a line from GNC called BE WHOLESOME. You get a multi pack of vitamins to take everyday (so it's super convenient). Here's what it has:
Multi Vitamin- Be Whole. It has vitamin C (which is good for immune and absorption of iron), Vitamin D (which is good for well being), Vitamin K (which a lot of multi's don't have- I was impressed to find this one had K!), B-12, Biotin...which are all things that were recommended to me by my nutritionist (aka aunt). There are tonnes of other vitamins & minerals in this one too. Just started this one so I will keep you up to date on how this one is working out. If you go to GNC.com they list all of the ingredients on there. The other thing I love about this line is that there isn't a whole lot of filler in them either. They also have no wheat, gluten or yeast. If you want a good multi and don't want to go as crazy as I did- this one alone seems like a goody!
Be Beautiful which has Horsetail Rush Stems in them. This is to help with my hair loss. There is also Boron, Pantethine, MSM and much more. This has also significantly helped with my nail strength. I was develping deep grooves in my nails (an unfortunate side effect of alopecia) and these suppliments have really helped. I have been taking this one for just over a month on it's own. I would HIGHLY recommend this suppliement for anyone experiencing any issues with hair, skin or nails as a result of poor diet.
***As a side note, I am also seeing a Dermatologist for my alopecia and getting Triamcinolone injections in my scalp to promote hair growth on top of taking supplements. This has been incredibly successful. I have had 3 spots to date and 2 have grown in for the most part. I wanted to be clear that supplements will not fix this issue but are great to use along with Dr. treatments to assist hair growing more quickly and healthy.
Be Protected which has triple strength fish oil & omega 3 awesome for your heart & immune!
There is also Be Balanced a bone strenghening formula with calcium & D3 and Be Flexible to help with joint structure & function.
I probably won't take this crazy multi pack from GNC forever. Just until my body has regained strength. I will then pull out and continue to take what works for me but this is a great way to start & experiement. After neglecting my body for so long, not eating properly (not eating sometimes all day) this is exactly the boost my body needed. I have been taking the pack for 3 days and already feel more refreshed!
Hello There
I have been using the Spark People app on my iphone for the last 3 months and never realized there's this whole amazing website until last week!
Let me give some background. I have always been a healthy & active person. Sept-Dec of last year (2010) I under went some life altering changes in my life that unfortunately put a lot of pressure & stress on me. I am now suffering post-stress & burnout symptoms as a result.
The end of January I suffered from a major seizure (in the middle of a shoppers drug mart here in Toronto-so embarassing)! Since then have been in & out of doctors offices trying to get to the root cause of everything. I have also been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata (my hair falls out in patches) also due to stress. I am also currently hypo-glycemic (blood sugar drops dramatically) and anemic (iron deficient).
One thing is for certain I needed to make some drastic changes to my eating habits and suppliment intake.
I also am learning how to cope & deal with stress. Finding calm for me has been incredibly challenging to date but I am hopeful that one day I will have this mastered. I have begun journaling, trying to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night, deep breathing excersies & meditation.
That's a little about me. Looking to buddy up with anyone else that is or has experienced any of the same issues and looking for motivational, positive influences to share & build each other up with.
I'm so excited to be a part of Spark People and I hope one day, my blogs & information can help someone else.
xo Annette

Grey's Anatomy aired "Walking on a Dream this week, an episode that brought a new face to the hospital, while also offering a setback for Arizona - along with a big step forward for Mer. Let's discuss, shall we?
Phantom Limbs. Arizona has been dealing with Phantom Limb Syndrome, something that makes you feel pain in an amputated limb. Can you imagine? Not only was she in a plane crash, but she lost her leg and now she is feeling pain in something that is not even there?!? Luckily, she has Owen to help her.
It was seriously enjoyable to see Owen in an arc that wasn't related to Yang. Although I am a fan of the Cristina/Owen ship, it's still important that they have their own stories. Kevin McKidd was great in this one. Even better? Jessica Capshaw. She has been playing this character amazingly since the plane crash. Such emotion, such drama. Love it!
The Claws Are Out! Meet Dana Gordon Alana, the financial advisor who has come to keep Seattle Grace to help keep the doors open. The character, played by Constance Zimmer of Entourage fame, is not super nice and even kind of shady.
Her job is to find ways to cut costs, meaning she wants to close the ER. She also has a weird way of handling Webber, who was a former teacher of hers. Anyone else notice that?
The worst thing to come out of her visit was the remark from Bailey. The docs don't want to shut down the ER, but Bailey realizes they need to listen so they can keep their jobs. Not all of them have a few million to fall back on. Burn!
Looks like things are about to get tense between our favorite surgeons.
No Shipping Tonight. There wasn't too much going on between any of the couples, except for the ridiculous cuteness between Mer and Der. Sometimes this series goes overboard with the relationship drama, but without it, the show felt a little empty.
The only bit of shipping to go on was Jackson shutting down with Stephanie after the mention of April. On the other side of the hospital, Kepner was getting asked out by the adorable paramedic. Seriously, that girl has some luck!
Side Notes:
- Meredith got on a plane and flew! She deserves some credit for that.
- How funny was Yang fighting for the Africa program?
- My vote goes to Ross for favorite intern! Who's yours?
- Derek operated! McDreamy is back!
Overall, an okay episode. Not every hour can be great, I get that. But this one felt a little dull. I guess for a show that has bombs, plane crashes and shooters, a slow episode isn't too bad.
What did you think of "Walking on a Dream?" Did it fall a little short or was it as good as you expect from the veteran series? Sound off below and let us know what you thought. Don't forget to check back for the Grey's Anatomy Round Table. For now, here's next week's promo.
Until next week, Grey's fans!
This epi was good. I'm glad that Jessica Capshaw was able to get a nice meaty epi on Arizona. I thought she did a great job. I did miss Callie!!! That's my girl!
Dr Bailey was awesome. That's the doc I grew to love. She doesnt blame the other docs. At the end of the day she has to be concerned with her livelihood. The hospital gets such down she wont have a job. She merely suggested that those complaining be a part of the solution and not the problem. Everybody knew it was best to shut up than take on the Nazi!
Love Owen for wanting to help Arizona and love Christina's sarcastic mouth!
I think Bailey was a little out of line! She has no idea what it was like to be on that plane, in the wilderness for days,seeing a loved one die and Mark in pain, as well as Derek and Arizona. She did not lose a leg and have many painful surgeries on her had and she did not have PTSD. She also does not realized that they think it is blood money!
How on earth does April get the hotties? WOW!
i got where Bailey was coming from and it shut Derek up as he was being downright condescending and rude to the adviser and wasn't helping the situation with his commentary. as for the survivors feeling guilty, I do think there should be some guilt coming if they find out why the hospital had to pay had to do with Arizona taking Alex's place. Should they no but they need to shut their traps as at the end of the day they sit pretty good compare (monetary wise) to their fellow colleagues. Derek was being rude so unless he had another alternative other than shutting others down, he needs to just sit there and look cute. I like April teaching Stephanie who unfortunately I think due to her relationship with Jackson has turn into a school girl. As for Webber being fired, Adele died last month something the adviser is not aware of, so I doubtful Owen would take her recommendation on that as she wasn't aware of Arizona's disability.
Thank you mate. I wasn't expecting support, I'm pleasantly surprised. ;)
@Lucy that was a mean and horrible thing to say to Ninna. You should apologize. What you said was rude. @Ninna she probably won't apologize for her ignorance but I will do it for her. I am so sorry she has spoken to you in this manner. You did a great job typing English. It was clear and concise. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you ;)
Sorry, my comment got cut.
Last part of the last sentence was : but closing the hospital or having one or more of them losing their job would probably be at least as horrible. ---
Btw I second Ninna on the whole don't judge other people's english in here. (and her english was pretty good) For some of us here, english isn't our first language ;) And if you're going to criticize someone else's english, at least post a comment about the episode while doing so?
I, for one, really liked the lack of relationship drama. I like drama as much as the next fan, but sometimes I feel like Grey's is going a little too far for me. This episode was really good, great character development, Arizone was as awesome as ever and Capshaw is doing a veeery good job. I liked seeing Owen without the whole Cristina drama (as much as I love Cristina) And I do understand where Bailey is coming from. She's not really angry at those who got the money/the survivors but she just doesn't see an easy way out of the financial problems for the hospital and they were offered one where none of them lost their jobs! So they should be happy for that, at least. (though I'm still wondering why the hell the advisor didn't talk about firing Webber, that would have seem logical even though I like his character, he's not doing much) (and I know he was her teacher, but still) It's horrible to cut the ER, but closing the hospital or having one or more of them losing their job would probably be at least as horrible.
Ah, and by the way I was not speaking I was writing. How come a person so perfect like you didn't notice that?
As you're the Pinnacle of the of knowledge, I would dare to challenge you to comment in my own language. Do you think you're able?
Moderate your arrogance, please. We don't need here someone who barks when doesn't have arguments.
You're right, there ought to be a law against such pageantry. Se não conseguires entender o que acabei de escrever manda um e-mail que eu faço um desenho, OK?

Go Bananas! Celebrating DOLE and the Enchanted Tiki Room
I toss down my jacket and reach up to twist the little knob that lends air to the cramped cabin of the airplane when the hairy man next to me asks, "you traveling for work or fun?"
"Oh, work." I reply. But then I stop for a minute and start giggling. "Well, okay, it's technically work, but I'm going to Disneyland. So, that doesn't sound quite right, does it."
He mention something about being jealous through that misshapen beard, I try to listen but decide I don't much care because I'm going to Disneyland and it's for work and there's no one on the planet who currently rocks a job so deliciously fun as mine. Holy embrace the inner brat moment. I really did.
The Straight-Up Facts:
So here's the thing. I'm gonna tell you about my recent trip to Disneyland, sponsored by DOLE Bananas. But everytime I start writing these recap posts, I start feeling like that girl on the plane who was like, all, "yeah I flew to Disneyland for work. I ate food so good it'd make your tongue stick straight out for a month. I joined up with a roomful of old blogging chums, worked with my favorite PR people, and got to stay in the Disneyland Grand Californian." I mean, who says that kind of stuff to the unassuming stranger?
And perhaps, the better question is…who does that kind of stuff and calls it work?
So the real secret here is, my job in incredible. It just is. And telling you about some of the adventures of food blogging is part of the job. But I don't want it to be a sassy sell or a snobbish reminder that you weren't at Disneyland at DOLE and I was. Blech. Nonsense.
I've got a plan to make this a fair deal then, for you. I'm going to pass along a few of my favorite details, but then I'm going to spill a few secrets from behind-the-scenes of the food blogging life. The DOLE Summit was chock full of beloved blogging personalities, wild moments, and to-die-delicious stories and I think you'd much rather hear about those things than how freaking good these DOLE Banana Summer Tea Sandwiches were. Right? (Note: they were freaking amazing. Go make them. That is all.)
DOLE Summit Secrets:
- Fourth Times the Charm. This is the fourth time I've worked with DOLE (we've also celebrated with their DOLE Salad Summit, DOLE Wellness Institute, and DOLE Salatude Celebration) and everytime I take a trip with them, I'm genuinely impressed by the caliber of attention the DOLE company pays to true health and wellness. Having begun with humble roots, the company has grown to be a major corporation, but has never lot their attention to detail and care you'd hope for from a company supplying your home with food for your beautiful body. Super secret: DOLE was nice enough to arrange a mid-morning pilates class, which sounded wonderful and lovely, until we showed up and realized the teacher was like an angry, older version of one of the Disney Princesses. Now I know what happened to Ariel after Prince Eric got washed up on booze and went the way of Val Kilmer.}
- Energy Rocks. Who knew that Bananas offer all sorts of stabilizing energy without the sugar crash you'd find with traditional energy snacks? The DOLE company has worked hard to educate consumers on many of the true benefits of bananas, or as they call them "Nature's Original Energy Bar." I think this is my favorite DOLE Bananas Campaign ever. Discovering that something so simple and affordable has been good for you all along is a lovely way to cut through the chatter of our increasingly consumerized world. Super Secret: Bloggers Paula Jones of Bellalmiento and Bree Hester from Baked Bree are so full of vitalizing energy (with a side of perfect sassy honesty) that I spent a good too many minutes chirping over gossip with them, and thus forgot several other banana facts that you likely need to know. Topic of conversation: the pain of keeping contract blogging jobs in our ever-changing field. Only we talked about that with a few more swears, and such.
- Vegan Eating. I'm a fan of any food that supports every diet option I've tried this year, namely Veganism and Paleo-ism. Which isn't an ism, but it sounded so good, I had to say it. From Vegan Banana Pancakes to Paleo Banana Pancakes, bananas are remarkably versatile, lending all sorts of incredible flavor and health benefits to every meal. Super Secret: My beloved Kathy from Healthy, Happy Life kicked it with us at the Banana Summit and I swear to you, even though everyone and their miniature poodles know that girl is vegan, we always show up at restaurants with menu's chosen that don't include vegan eats. It makes my eyebrows squinch to see her slurping her way through a measly bowl of marinara or getting served a bowl of berries when the rest of us are eating flambe'd bananas coated in rum and butter. She's always a love about it, though, and runs straight home to make more truly idulgent vegan creations for her blog. That's Vegan Power for you.
- Dole Celebrates their Partnership with Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. The real reason we were all sitting in Disneyland for the Banana Summit, instead of the sandy beaches of the tropics (next year, right, Bob? ;) is because Dole has been the sponsor of Disneys' Enchanted Tiki Room for a million-and-two years now. Part of our trip was visiting this infamous Disney attraction, partaking of the infamous Dole Whip (yummo, baybeee), and sitting through the infernally long and dated light show that is The Enchanted Tiki Room. Several bloggers shared memories of being a kid and loving the talking Tiki Room macaws. I just felt like I was sitting on "It's a Small World" without a boat. See? Bratty. Super Secret: Maria and Josh of Two Peas brought their wildly scrumptious baby into the Tiki Room and watching him react with wide-eyed fascination to the walls of animatronics made the entire Tiki Room my new favorite, kinda-pretty-lame-unless-you-have-a-baby attraction.
- Yo, Bob the Banana. DOLE was kind enough to send us home with two of their popular consumer products, which truly make DOLE bananas shine. The first, a Yonanas Banana Ice Cream Maker, a brilliant little machine that turns frozen bananas into a creamy, one-ingredientsoft-serve. (Scroll on down to the bitter end of this post to nab details on how you can win your own Yonanas Machine!) The other lil' thang that came home with us was a ginormous version of the DOLE Kids character, Bobby the Banana. Next time you need to buy a half-hour with your tots, have them visit the DOLE page and play some of the fun, colorful kids games available on the DOLE website. Super Secret: My favorite Bob of the DOLE Summit wasn't a banana stuffie, but the PR guy in charge of the whole gig. He's been a friend and ally for me over the last two years, both from a business perspective and a personal one, as he's offered incredible insights and ideas on how to work and live authentically. Good people are waaay better than good bananas, aren't they? Such a gift.

Our personalized imprinted items give your business the tools to promote a business (itself) in the best possible way. Now that the different items, which can be personalized, have been explained, it is important to understand the messages.
Our personalized imprinted items can go far beyond a custom logo. If your company has a certain slogan, this is a great option for imprinting. This message can be something new, or something that has made your company recognizable for years. With personalized imprinted items, the personalized (personalization) factor puts the power completely in the hands of your business.

Fashion photographer Bruce Weber dresses up DIA
If corporate bankruptcy specialist and Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr gets his way, the Detroit Institute of Arts will no longer be owned by the city soon. The museum itself will still be filled with works inspired by the city that built it, and beginning on June 20 a new exhibition, "Detroit — Bruce Weber" will continue that tradition.
Weber is a fashion photographer who rose to fame with a risque Calvin Klein campaign. "Bruce Weber is one of the preeminent American photographers of our time," said Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue. "From the moment his work appeared in Vogue in 1978, his talent and breadth of vision were undeniable. Since then, he has helped shape our ideas about men's and women's fashion and celebrity."
Weber's new exhibit brings together the people, places and sights of Detroit in portraits of activist Grace Lee Boggs, R&B legend Aretha Franklin, the Detroit chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen, and through the "beautiful faces of everyday Detroiters and familiar sites around the city," according to a press statement.
"…(Weber's) passion for distinctly American phenomena, from jazz to farmlands and factories, has led him to chronicle the country's landscape for more than three decades," Wintour says. "What better photographer than Bruce to be a champion of this great American city."
DIA Curator of Photography Nancy Barr noted "Weber's exhibition is part of a tradition of great photography inspired by the city of Detroit and the DIA is excited to showcase this work in light of our previous photography exhibitions on the same subject."
"Detroit is one of the few places in the world now where there is a big welcome sign in the smiles and hearts of its people," said Weber. "(Your) continued courage and resilience is why I first ended up (here) with my camera."

By Kathy Etling and Susan Reneau
• How many hunting adventure books deal exclusively with women trophy hunters? Start right here with this incredible collection of profiles of women who hunt big game. Long time Buckmasters Whitetail Magazine contributor Kathy Etling and Reneau researched the subject in detail to bring you stories such as the woman forbidden to hunt by her husband who sneaks away to return home a week later laden with hundreds of pounds of venison and a huge caribou rack. Meet the woman who harvested the fabled NA 29 Slam (all variety of North American big game) and the Alberta woman who not only taught herself to hunt to become one of Canada's most accomplished elk hunters—man or woman—but taught her wheelchair-bound son how to hunt, too. Read tales of women who take sheep at 17,000 feet or find themselves surrounded by lions. No matter how daunting the task, these female hunters are capable of it. You cannot buy this book in bookstores.

Comments about Nomad Multifit Fiber Floor Tom Case:
I have purchased several products from Nomad and I am not disappointed. I have many sets of drums and some get stored for long periods of time.
