Article: Drug delivery of zinc to Barrett's metaplasia by oral administration to Barrett's esophagus patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Delivery of a pharmacologically effective drug dosage to a target tissue is critical. Barrett's epithelia are a unique challenge for drug delivery of orally administered zinc due to rapid transit down the esophageal lumen, incomplete absorptive differentiation of these epithelia, and the use of proton-pump inhibitor drugs abrogating intestinal uptake of supplemental zinc. Methods: Barrett's esophagus patients were administered oral zinc gluconate (26 mg zinc twice daily) for 14 days prior to biopsy procurement. Barrett's biopsies were analyzed for total zinc content by atomic absorption spectroscopy and by western immunoblot for cellular proteins known to be regulated by zinc. Results: Cellular levels of both the Znt-1 transport protein and the alpha isoform of PKC were over 50% lower in the zinc treatment group. Conclusion: Oral zinc administration can result in effective delivery of zinc to Barrett's epithelia with resulting effects on intracellular signal transduction.Therapeutic delivery 03/2014; 5(3):257-64.

Article: Enhancement of tight junctional barrier function by micronutrients: compound-specific effects on permeability and claudin composition.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Amid an increasing number of reports in the literature concerning epithelial barrier enhancement by various nutrient compounds, there has never been a study performing side-by-side comparisons of these agents in a single epithelial model. We compare five nutrient compounds (previously reported in various epithelial models to enhance barrier function) regarding their ability to increase transepithelial electrical resistance (Rt) and decrease transepithelial mannitol permeability (Jm) across LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cell layers. The effects of these nutrients on the abundance of various tight junctional proteins are also compared. In the overall group of nutrients tested - zinc, indole, quercetin, butyrate and nicotine - only nicotine failed to improve barrier function by either parameter. Nicotine also was without effect on tight junctional proteins. Quercetin simultaneously increased Rt and decreased Jm. Zinc, butyrate and indole only exhibited statistically significant enhancement of Rt. Each of these four effective nutrient compounds had unique patterns of effects on the panel of tight junctional proteins studied. No two compounds produced the same pattern of effects. This unique pattern of effects on tight junctional complex composition by each compound establishes the chance for additive or even synergistic improvement of barrier function by combinations of compounds. A synergistic effect of the combination of quercetin and zinc on Rt is shown.PLoS ONE 11/2013; 8(11):e78775. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0078775 · 3.53 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Earlier work by our group and others has documented improvement of epithelial barrier function in human gastrointestinal models. Here we tested zinc's ability to improve a renal epithelial model. Our aim was to compare the functional and structural effects of zinc on the tight junctional (TJ) complexes of these two very distinct epithelial cell types. Zinc's ability to achieve barrier enhancement in very different epithelial cell types by action upon distinct molecular targets in each epithelial model may suggest a fundamental general role for supplemental zinc in epithelial barrier improvement throughout the body. METHODS: Cell layers were exposed to 50 or 100 μM zinc on both cell surfaces for 48 h followed by measurement of transepithelial electrical resistance (Rt) and transepithelial (14)C-mannitol flux (Jm). TJ proteins in cell layers were analyzed by Western immunoblot. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Zinc supplementation improved the basal TJ barrier function of LLC-PK1 renal cell layers, exemplified by increased Rt and decreased Jm. These zinc-induced changes were also accompanied by decreased NaCl dilution potentials. Of the tight junctional proteins that were tested (occludin, claudins 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and tricellulin), we did not observe a zinc-induced change in abundance of any of them, in detergent-soluble fractions of lysates of confluent differentiated cell layers. However, examination of cytosolic fractions showed concentration-dependent increases in the levels of claudins -2 and -4 in this compartment as a result of supplemental zinc. The effects of supplemental zinc on the tight junctional complexes and barrier properties of this renal epithelial model are contrasted with zinc effects on the CACO-2 gastrointestinal model.Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland) 05/2013; DOI:10.1016/j.clnu.2013.05.001 · 3.27 Impact Factor
Article: Zinc Supplementation Modifies Tight Junctions and Alters Barrier Function of CACO-2 Human Intestinal Epithelial Layers.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Zinc deficiency is known to result in epithelial barrier leak in the GI tract. Precise effects of zinc on epithelial tight junctions (TJs) are only beginning to be described and understood. Along with nutritional regimens like methionine-restriction and compounds such as berberine, quercetin, indole, glutamine and rapamycin, zinc has the potential to function as a TJ modifier and selective enhancer of epithelial barrier function. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of zinc-supplementation on the TJs of a well-studied in vitro GI model, CACO-2 cells. METHODS: Barrier function was assessed electrophysiologically by measuring transepithelial electrical resistance (R(t)), and radiochemically, by measuring transepithelial (paracellular) diffusion of (14)C-D-mannitol and (14)C-polyethyleneglycol. TJ composition was studied by Western immunoblot analyses of occludin, tricellulin and claudins-1 to -5 and -7. RESULTS: Fifty- and 100-μM zinc concentrations (control medium is 2 μM) significantly increase R(t) but simultaneously increase paracellular leak to D-mannitol. Claudins 2 and 7 are downregulated in total cell lysates, while occludin, tricellulin and claudins-1, -3, -4 and -5 are unchanged. Claudins-2 and -7 as well as tricellulin exhibit decreased cytosolic content as a result of zinc supplementation. CONCLUSIONS: Zinc alters CACO-2 TJ composition and modifies TJ barrier function selectively. Zinc is one of a growing number of "nutraceutical" substances capable of enhancing epithelial barrier function, and may find use in countering TJ leakiness induced in various disease states.Digestive Diseases and Sciences 08/2012; 58(1).

The system also includes a protective layer formed from thermoplastic elastomer. The protective layer is coupled to the body during a molding process used to form the body.
1. A system for head protection, comprising:
a helmet body having an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a rim portion disposed between the exterior and the interior surfaces;
a plastic shell coupled to the external surface of the helmet body; and
a protective layer coupled to the rim portion, the protective layer formed from a softer material than the plastic shell.

7. The helmet of
This invention relates generally to protective gear and more particularly to a helmet protection system.
A physical impact to the head of a person may cause serious injury or death. To reduce the probability of such consequences, protective gear, such as a helmet, is often used in activities that are associated with an increased level of risk for a head injury. Examples of such activities include, but are not limited to, skiing, snowboarding, bicycling, rollerblading, rock climbing, skate boarding, and motorcycling.
According to some embodiments of the invention, a system for protecting a device formed from polystyrene is provided. The system includes a body formed from polystyrene. The system also includes a protective layer formed from thermoplastic elastomer. The protective layer is coupled to the body during a molding process used to form the body.
Some embodiments of the invention provide numerous technical advantages. Other embodiments may realize some, none, or all of these advantages. For example, according to one embodiment, a helmet is protected by providing a protective layer over areas of a helmet body that are likely to be damaged by dropping or use of the helmet, such as a rim portion of the helmet body. Such protective layers may be especially advantageous for protecting the softer, �foam-like� portions of the helmet.
Other advantages may be readily ascertainable by those skilled in the art.
Reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numbers represent like parts, in which:
Embodiments of the invention are best understood by referring to
Referring again to
A body of a protective headgear, such as helmet 20, is generally formed from a shock-absorbing material, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS). The surface of a body formed from EPS may be easily dented, scratched or otherwise damaged, which may compromise the ability of the helmet to offer protection against impact and/or present an unattractive appearance. To protect against such a damage, a hard plastic shell may be provided over the outer surface of the helmet body. However, portions of the existing helmet are not protected with such a shell because of certain manufacturing, cost, comfort, or other limitations. For example, the bottom rim of a helmet body may be unprotected.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, a system for protecting a helmet from damage is provided by providing one or more protective layers over portions of a helmet body that are associated with a relatively high risk of damage, such as a rim portion of a helmet. This is advantageous because the level of durability of a helmet is improved while maintaining the capacity of the helmet to protect the wearer's head. Additional details of example embodiments of the invention are described below in greater detail in conjunction with
Referring to and as shown in
Referring to
In certain embodiments, separate pieces of protective layers 40 may be distributed to different portions of rim portion 34. For example, as shown in
Referring to
Although a helmet, such as helmet 20, is used as an example device that may benefit from the teachings of the present invention, any device that is molded out of a shock-absorbing and/or insulation material, such as EPS, that is relatively easily damaged may benefit from the teachings of the present invention. For example, a portable cooler and a beverage holder formed from EPS may benefit from the use of a protective layer to protect against surface and body damage.
Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations can be made hereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Here is a hypothetical question posed for our readers: Would you consider voting for former Newberg City Manager Dan Danicic if he ran for a public office?
Last week, Danicic was asked to resign after officials learned he was involved in a lengthy affair with a city employee, Tabrina McPherson. She now claims her position was terminated, at least in part, because of the affair.
This is the latest in a slew of recent sex scandals we have been reading about. It raises considerable alarm as to why these men have no fear of repercussions for such inappropriate behavior. A more daunting question, perhaps, is how much does the public care?
In Portland, Multnomah City Commissioner Jeff Cogen is facing pressure to resign after his extramarital affair with an employee in the Health Department was made public. That employee lost her job. Across the nation, several politicians are battling for their professional careers in high-profile scandals, most notably San Diego Mayor Robert Filner and former congressman and current New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner.
Each sex scandal is perceived differently by the public, depending on the array of actions involved. These affairs often incorporate lies, hypocrisy and abuse of power in one form or another, and sometimes misuse of funds. Reports of such scandals usually are cause for public scorn but, sometimes, the affairs are brushed off as simply randy behavior deemed the private business of public officials.
The recent rash of scandals has sparked debate about where voters draw the line when it comes to second chances for officials or politicians caught with their pants down.
In Danicic's case, he carried on an affair and lied about it to those who entrusted him to run the city effectively. Whether he orchestrated McPherson's termination, as she claims, may be the subject of legal action. But City Attorney Terry Mahr was right to say that Danicic deserved to lose his job for putting the city in this situation.
However, back to the original question: Hypothetically speaking, if Danicic stayed off the radar for awhile and then mounted a run for a political position, how would his affair and its cover-up weigh on voters at the polls?
There are many examples of the public forgiving infidelity — See Rep. Mark Sanford and Sen. David Vitter. In America, and elsewhere, breaking the Seventh Commandment does not disqualify one from being considered a viable political leader.

Allen/Rhonda Sanders purchased this cottage in 2012
We have lived on Lake Hawkins for over 10 years in a fabulous log home and my neighbor decided to sell her little weekend place. So with a little TLC and my wife's creativity, we fashioned this great little cottage into something that looks like it belongs on a Montana river or off the coast of Maine. Its pitched ceiling, exposed beams and a tastefully-decorated fishing motiff, just feels like you're miles from everything.
A delightful lakeside cabin with all mod cons which was clean, spacious and comfortable. With a nearby Italian restaurant offering great food at a great price, gas BBQ on the deck, heating and air conditioning, it was a really relaxing stay. The owners are next door but inobtrusive. It was just what we we were looking for. If we come back to Texas, we'll be back
We really enjoyed our weekend at the cottage even though it turned rainy and cold. The first day was beautiful for sitting on the dock and reading. The lake was very calm and serene! It turned windy and cold the second day but we still had a great view from all of the windows. We loved watching the squirrel steal food from the bird feeder then scamper away into the woods behind the cottage! The Italian restaurant just down the road was a great choice for dinner. This was just the right distance for a weekend away and we will definitely return!
My husband and I wanted somewhere quiet and relaxing for one last getaway before our first baby arrives in February. This little cottage was perfect for that! We also loved that our dog was welcome, and she enjoyed country life for a few days. Pregnancy hormones kicked in as I got choked up not wanting to leave!
We had a great time. We wish the weather had cooperated. Two things that would help make our stay better next time. A tall toilet for people who have had knee replacement and a roof over the deck...
It doesn't get any better than this perfect little cottage. It was private and quiet and so clean! I enjoyed walking down to the early in the morning and sitting on the dock, watching the sunrise while drinking my coffee. The screened in cabana was a wonderful spot to sit and read and look out at the beautiful lake. The cottage has everything you need and Allen was a wonderful host. I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay and extra day. I'll be back!!!
Scrupulously clean, even the windows. Tastefully decorated. Amenities plentiful and modern. (Don't look like they came from a thrift shop.) Taste of Italy was superb. Well maintained. Very scenic. Lots of lakes around. Private. Only complaints-- no land line and cell phones don't work. Bed pretty uncomfortable. Maybe it has just been around too long.
We rent a cabin/cottage somewhere different each year and this one ranks right up there.
Caldwell Zoo and Discovery Place in Tyler (25 mi), winery with live jazz on weekends, great antiquing, Good restaurants and grocery shopping.

I recently purchased a two bedroom one bath 1.5 story Cape Cod home with an unfinished upstairs. My wife and I have been arguing about how we would like to do the up-stairs portion of the home.
My wife wants to make it a large master bedroom with a bathroom.
I on the other hand am thinking sole about resale because we have to move a lot for my job (moving about every 2-3 years). I am concerned because most homes are designed with the master on the first floor.
Again the space is .5 and not a full second story. It would make a wonderful bedroom and bathroom but I don't want to spend too much time and money on a great living space if it is not going to add to the property to the fullest extent.
What do we do?
To small for 2 bedrooms…
But do I want to position my master w/ bath on the second floor?
Any ideas are suggestions are greatly appreciated.

It all depends on what the local market is looking for. And I mean LOCAL. Like the houses on your block and a couple over.
Look for an agent or two that knows the neighborhood and ask them. But be honest about what you are wanting.

Easy. Refreshing. Elegant. And stunningly delicious.
This delightful crab and cucumber salad is simple and elegant and just stunningly delicious. I have made this salad three times this week alone – it's that good. And, Okay, my garden is overflowing with cucumbers right now. So, yeah. Cucumbers on the menu every night. It is a very flexible salad – I have used the paper thin cucumbers as a base and then put different things on top – nectarine slices, feta cheese and green onions are two different combos I have tried. All yummy.
There are three ingredients plus a dressing so delicious I may have eaten half a bowl of it with a spoon. Not confirmed, just sayin'.
The key to the salad is the dressing – it is sweet, sour, tangy and smokey – full of umami and a perfect ying-yang dressing. The Japanese name for this salad is Sunomono – which literally means "Vinegared Thing." I made a whole bottle of the dressing just to keep in the door of my fridge.
Also, the cucumbers have to be sliced paper thin so that they are soft and pliable. Use chilled cucumbers and crab (or shrimp!) and toss with the dressing at the last minute. Amazing. And Addicting.

Leonardo DiCaprio And Jonah Hill Are Learning How To Be Corrupt Stock Brokers At Bank Of America
For their roles in "The Wolf of Wall Street," based on the memoir by Jordan Belfort, who spent 22 months in a federal prison for running a pump-and-dump scam out of brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont.
An inside source at Bank of America Merrill Lynch tells us the actors received some real-life experience for their roles in the Martin Scorsese -directed film by shadowing employees at the One Bryant Park location Tuesday morning.
We hear that DiCaprio, who plays New York stock broker Jordan Belfort in the movie, trailed an employee on the fifth floor of the corporate and investment bank, which is the stock-trading floor. Hill, who plays the best friend and business partner of DiCaprio's Belfort, shadowed "a lower-level, yet successful derivative sales associate." Both actors left before lunchtime, but a second source close to the film, in which DiCaprio's character refuses to cooperate in a fraud case involving Wall Street corruption and mob infiltration, tells us they have plans to return Wednesday.

Scoppe: Sen. Sheheen and his judges
BEFORE WE talk about Sen. Vincent Sheheen representing clients before magistrates he effectively appointed, we need to talk about the magistrate system in South Carolina.
Technically, the governor appoints magistrates, the judges who hear most traffic cases, decide who stays in jail and who gets out on bond and mediate most civil disputes. In reality, the appointments are made by the senators from the magistrate's county and, often, by the individual senator who represents that magistrate district. This is the reality because the Senate must confirm the governor's appointment, and a single senator can block a nomination, so over the years governors have learned that it's a waste of time to appoint someone other than the local senator's preference.
Think about that for a moment: Senators appoint magistrates. Individual senators appoint magistrates.
It is a system that's ripe for abuse, and one that has been abused spectacularly.
We talked about this a good bit five years ago, when then-Sen. Randy Scott, who, arrested on DUI charges, was recorded all but threatening to depose a magistrate if he didn't come get the senator out of jail in the middle of the night.
Months later, a Highway Patrol trooper suggested that he let Sen. Brad Hutto's clients plead guilty to reduced charges because "Brad appoints the judge, makes a motion and the judge agrees."
It was easy for magistrates to get the idea that they worked for senators because, at the time, a full third of them were serving in legislative limbo: Their terms had expired, sometimes years earlier, but they had been neither replaced nor reappointed. So rather than having some political insulation appropriate to judges, they could be replaced at a moment's notice, at the senator's instigation.
Senate Republican Leader Harvey Peeler said then that he kept his magistrates in hold-over position because "you shouldn't have to wait four years" to replace someone who is "not doing his job." Which makes one wonder what it means not to be doing one's job: Ruling the wrong way when a senator or one of his buddies represents clients before that magistrate? Not getting out of bed in the middle of the night to get the senator out of jail?
Sen. Sheheen's judges
It is against that backdrop that the Haley campaign has jumped all over a report in The State that Mr. Sheheen has eight cases pending before one of his magistrates.
And rightly so. This is not like most of the charges Gov. Haley has thrown at Sen. Sheheen's work as an attorney, which have been not just baseless but insulting to anyone who actually thinks, rather than simply pulling a straight-ticket lever — the sort of lawyer-bashing that we have come to expect from far too many populist politicians. This is about, at the very least, putting magistrates in an indefensibly difficult position.
The unfortunate fact is that not even the most honest person is capable of always ignoring the fact that he owes his job to one of the two lawyers standing before him — or, with most traffic cases, the one lawyer. No matter how hard you try to overlook such things, it's human nature to, if nothing else, give the benefit of the doubt to the person you know and trust. And what's not to trust about this fine senator? He obviously has good judgment, or he wouldn't have gotten you this job.
How much worse is it with those magistrates who are nothing more than political hacks, who don't even have any legal training, since we don't require that, and who need their positions to feed their families?
Defenders of this arrangement say prosecutors can always ask a judge to recuse himself if they think there's a conflict of interest. That's true. But that's hardly a fool-proof solution. It's up to the judge whether to do so, and some don't. And if the magistrate does recuse himself, the case goes to another magistrate — who probably also owes his job to the senator. Most significantly, most cases in magistrate's court are tried not by a prosecutor but by the arresting officer, who might not feel so free to challenge the local power broker; in civil cases, parties often represent themselves and probably don't even know about the arrangement, much less realize they have a right to challenge it.
Sen. Sheheen's reform
Gov. Haley's allies have proposed prohibiting senators from representing clients before their magistrates, and that's sensible as far as it goes. But it ignores the much larger problem, which, as then-Sen. Scott demonstrated at the time, is not confined to lawyers.
To his credit, the person who has proposed the solution to the larger problem is Mr. Sheheen, who has been trying for several years to get himself and other senators out of the business of appointing magistrates. Indeed, he was one of the first senators to try to address the problems revealed by the Scott and Hutto scandals. He has proposed to have the Supreme Court either appoint magistrates or nominate candidates to the governor, whose selections still would be confirmed by the Senate. Between those two plans is the right solution: Put the governor and the high court into the mix and take the Senate out completely.
We can only hope that since this problem has become a campaign issue, senators will rethink their embrace of the status quo. That Democrats who have opposed Mr. Sheheen's reform now will see it as helping them retake the governor's mansion and Republicans who have opposed Mr. Sheheen's reform will see it as an admission of guilt that will help their party, and the Senate will, at long last, clean up this mess. Which is a lot more important than which side scores points in this spitting contest.
About this spitting contest: Mr. Sheheen's supporters say it's unfair to expect him to stop defending clients before magistrates as long as that's perfectly legal.
But that sort of misses the point, which is this: The idea that Gov. Haley not only has ethical problems but also is hypocritical when it comes to ethics (you know, trying to outlaw things she herself did as a legislator) is central to Sen. Sheheen's campaign against her, and by and large, it's a fair critique.
But when you build your campaign around that sort of narrative, you have to be not only ethical but above ethical. You have to obey the laws not only as they exist but as you want them to exist. You know, glass houses and all that.
No, this might not be as egregious as keeping ethics commissioners in that same sort of limbo as some senators kept magistrates. It might not be as egregious as then-Rep. Haley secretly accepting $1,000 a month from engineering company Wilbur Smith Associates to "keep your eyes and ears open." Or logrolling her legislative office into a cushy job for Lexington Medical Center and then getting donations for her employer from lobbyists for an industry whose fate her subcommittee controlled. What Mr. Sheheen is doing is out there in the open, for all the world to see; what Ms. Haley did was not.
But the fact is that senators never should have been representing clients before magistrates they effectively appoint. And particularly not Mr. Sheheen of the glass house.

Veryvery nice meeting Amelia and Targol are very sweet, respectful and discrete persons! Very nice time i had with them!!
Targol and her 10 year old daughter, Amalie, were great guests. They were fun, (Amalie's clever, professional-like dancing and performing kept us entertained). Targol was always very enthusiastic and very capable of creating a great trip for herself. Every day was a great adventure for her because she was always able to appreciate the adventure. Amalie went right along with everything and acted much older than her young years. They will be remembered and missed. I hope they can come back!

The noise annoys. But what irked me--having spent time hauling trash out of rivers, was the amount or equipment and old roadbed that the railroad just pushed over the side to the river. That refuse lasts a lifetime. I assume they don't shove junk in the river the way they used to, but we still get to look at it for the rest of our lives.

The Saline County Sheriff's Office recovered what is believed to be human skeletal remains in the Sardis community at approximately 1 p.m. Wednesday.
Investigators believe the remains that were found approximately 200 feet from the road in a secluded area are those of an adult, said Lt. Scott Courtney, Saline County Sheriff's Office.
The officers received a tip about the remains from a resident, he said.
"The remains were sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for possible positive identification and to determine a cause of death," he said.
The Saline County Sheriff's Office found what is thought to be human skeletal remains in Bauxite Wednesday afternoon near Woody Green.
"The remains were sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for possible positive identification and to determine a cause of death," said Lt. Scott Courtney, Saline County Sheriff's Office spokesperson.
A resident allegedly reported finding the remains, he said.
No other information is available at this time, Courtney said.
The Benton School District has taken the necessary steps to try to prevent flu cases after a recent increase statewide.
"We have had probably less than 50 district wide," said Mary Morgan, assistant superintendent for human resources and administration services. "We heard a lot of families had it during the the break."
Morgan said in order to prevent the disease from spreading the nurses are reminding students of the basics "— get your flu shot, wash your hands, stay home if you're sick and cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough."
The Shannon Hills Police Department spokesperson said a 17-year-old girl allegedly fabricated a story about a possible kidnapping attempt.
In connection with the incident, the girl will be charged with filing a false report, said Assistant Chief Jeremy Brown.
Tuesday, the girl reported an white male attempted to kidnap her shortly after she exited the school bus. Later she admitted to fabricating the story, he said, and was reportedly seeking her father's attention.
Officers were able to view video camera footage from another school bus in the area.

Hi: 10° Lo:1°

REDDITCH'S Clare Lines had two bronze medals to show off when she arrived back at London Heathrow last week from a highly successful Special Olympics World Winter Games.
The Great Britain 'magnificent seven' team enjoyed a record medal haul in South Korea as skiers from Biggin Hill, Tunbridge Wells, Cobham, Llanelli, Aberdeen and Rossendale joined Lines in representing Great Britain with pride.
The total haul for the Special Olympics GB Team was 13, including six gold, four silver and three bronze.
Elizabeth Allen of Llanelli won two gold and one silver, Jane Andrews of Tunbridge Wells claimed two gold, Robert Holden of Rossendale clinched one gold and two silver, Lines bagged two bronze, Wayne McCarthy of Biggin Hill won one gold and one silver, Aberdeen's Luke Purdie claimed fourth, seventh and eighth placed ribbons and Mikael Undrom of Cobham clinched one bronze.
These seven skiers were chosen to represent their country in Pyeongchang between January 26 and February 6 from 73 skiers with intellectual (learning) disabilities who qualified at Special Olympics Great Britain's National Alpine Ski Championships in Pila, Italy, last year.
Over 100 nations participated in the event, with 2,800 athletes with intellectual disabilities taking part.
Special Olympics GB CEO Karen Wallin said: "I would like to thank our seven skiers for representing Great Britain in South Korea at the World Winter Games with such pride, passion and honour.
"This is a fantastic number of medals and each one of our skiers performed at their very own personal best."
The year-round sports coaching and events provided by Special Olympics in Great Britain is clinically proven to positively change the quality of lives of our athletes.
Almost 1.2 million people in Great Britain (two per cent of the population) have an intellectual disability.
Recent research from Canterbury Christchurch University shows those who did participate in Special Olympics had a higher self-esteem than those who did not take part.
Higher self-esteem leads to more feelings of self-worth and more self-care. Findings also concluded that those involved in Special Olympics had wider social networks and lower stress levels.

Hopkinsville Teen Beaten in Gang Initiation
By Gary Pitts
Police in Hopkinsville have arrested eight middle school students accused of beating a 15-year old boy. Hopkinsville Police Officer Paul Ray says an investigation found the beating was part of a youth gang initiation. The incident took place on March 22nd. Ray says the boy didn't immediately tell his parents and it was a day or two before he was treated. And when his parents discovered what happened, they called police. Ray says the attack occurred after school and not on school grounds. The accused teen are being held at a youth detention center in Paducah.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 11/18/14
MADISON, Wis. -- Jeff Duckworth won't disclose how far from 100 percent he actually feels these days. The bulging discs in his lower back surfaced a couple of years ago, and he never knows the excruciating pain levels he'll feel when he wakes up each morning. "The only thing I can really get done is a fusion, which I don't want to do," Duckworth said. "I've gotten a couple injections and stuff. It comes and goes." Playing football, he is well aware, is probably the least helpful solution to overcoming the body aches. But Duckworth, a redshirt senior for the University of Wisconsin, also knows he has only a handful of opportunities remaining to suit up at wide receiver for the Badgers. And so, he continues to roll out of bed and battle the flare-ups for the few chances he receives to make an impact on the field. Saturday provided one of those opportunities, and Duckworth nearly played the role of hero. He caught a 51-yard pass from quarterback Joel Stave down to the Arizona State ...

Temperatures remained rather cool for late March, and by mid afternoon, were generally in the upper 30s and lower 40s across the area. A fast moving cold front will sweep across the Midwest late tonight and Sunday, bringing windy conditions and light rain showers to much of the region. However, there may be some light snow across Wisconsin as well. The general trend for the next few days will be for a substantial warming trend over the Midwest, which will linger much of the upcoming week. Regional low temperatures tonight will range from the lower 20s across Indiana, to the upper 30s in western parts of Missouri and Iowa. Highs on Sunday will range from the mid 40s near the Great Lakes, to the mid 60s in western Missouri. $$ Geelhart

|The Novation 49SL MkII Keyboard Controller is designed to give modern DAW users every dimension of hardware control. The 49SL MkII makes a hands-on approach to navigating software possible, and offers control over audio mixing and software plug-ins. It represents extraordinary value as a controller, integrating a DAW control surface with a quality semi-weighted keyboard (with after-touch) and the most intuitive plug-in mapping capabilities available - presided over by Automap 3 PRO; unquestionably the most advanced control software on the market.49SL MkII upholds Novation's reputation for building quality hardware (like the SL MkI, they will also appeal to performers who need a well-constructed keyboard onstage). Quality is not just reflected in their robustness, but more importantly in the way the 49SL MkII has been designed with every detail calculated to maximize workflow. The 49SL MkII's visually feeds back all controller information to the user with back lit buttons and encoder LED rings.The difficulty with other control surfaces is in knowing what is assigned to what. 49SL MkII has a giant 144-character ultrabright LCD screen that displays all the parameter names and values for the currently selected row of controllers. All 8 faders and 16 knobs are touch sensitive, so the moment one is touched, the display shows the names and values on that row and puts brackets around the controller that is currently being touched. This enables the user to see which parameter is assigned to the controller without having to change the value, or refer to their software. 49SL MkII also has a dedicated 'Speed Dial' knob, which can be used to change the value of any parameter the cursor is positioned over without making any assignments whatsoever.The 8 continuous rotary encoders have 11 segment LED rings around each of them, allowing encoders to behave like pots so the user can see the value before moving them. All the buttons have LED lights underneath them so users can instantly see their status without having to press them. There are 8 soft-feel drum pads, a pitch/modulation wheel and an X/Y Xpression touchpad which, (along with footswitch and sustain pedal inputs), are all fully assignable to any parameter with the Automap softwareThe 49SL MkII has been designed to draw minimum current so it can be used as a USB buss-powered device, and an optional 9V DC power supply can be added for standalone use. As well as USB interfacing, the 49SL MkII has 1 MIDI in, 1 MIDI thru and 2 MIDI outs.The power behind the 49SL MkII's unique ability to map controllers at the touch of a button is contained within the included Automap software. Automap 3 PRO enables users to map controllers with incredible speed and easeno more digging through MIDI continuous controller numbers, the Automap server takes care of it all. Automap's GUI gives the user a visual representation of all the current mappings on-screen, as well as the ability to save and manage mappings across different projects. There is also an option to only bring up the GUI when a controller on the 49SL MkII has been touched!High quality professional keyboard Velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted action keyboard from Fatar, with assignable aftertouch. Novation delivers the feeling of playing an instrument, rather than just a computer peripheral.Illuminated controls provide instant visual feedback Brightly lit LED rings around the eight smooth encoders, and backlit buttons throughout provide instant visual feedback for every physical control, further reducing reliance on the computer screen.Giant 144-character LCD screen Frees the artist from being chained to the computer screen, placing all the essential data right alongside the relevant controls.Huge array of touch-sensitive controls Full control surface supporting ultraflexible DAW control and Auto-mappable plug-in controls, 16 knobs, 8 faders, and 32 assignable backlit LED buttons.Automap 3 PRO Control Software 49SL MkII comes with Automap software which enables you to instantly map software parameters to faders, buttons, encoders and pots, and other controllers.High quality professional keyboardIlluminated controls provide instant visual feedbackGiant 144-character LCD screenHuge array of touch-sensitive controlsAutomap 3 PRO Control SoftwareMIDI control interface.Novation's unique 'speed dial'Programmable 'soft-feel' drumpadsUnique 2-Axis ControlsDedicated, yet fully-assignable transport buttons.USB buss poweringMk II ships with the latest Automap 3 PROAll dials and faders are now touch-sensitiveAll 49 SL Mk II's buttons are illuminatedMk II features a single LED screen (as it now features the Automap Heads-up GUI)49 SL Mk II's top row of dials have 11-LED rings for instant feedbackTop row of encoders are now smooth, rather than detented49 SL Mk II's transport control buttons can also be used as fully assignable buttons49 SL Mk II features new 'soft-feel' drum padsXcite+ bundle ships free with 49 SL Mk II and consists of the following: Ableton Live 7 Lite software (DAW)502MB of Mike the drummer drum loops - Quality live drum loopsNovation Bass-station synthLoopmasters Samples library consisting of1GB of royalty free samples
