The purpose of this research study is to see if giving Omegaven (an intravenous fat emulsion containing fish oil) instead of the current lipid emulsion, which contains fat derived from soybeans, as part of your child's intravenous (IV) nutrition therapy may be tolerated better. It may reduce the harmful effects to the liver, may stop any further liver damage and may reverse damage already done to the liver because of the prolonged use of nutrition through your child's IV.

Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Compassionate Use of a Fish Oil-derived Intravenous Fat Emulsion (Omegaven) to Reverse Parenteral Nutrition (PN) Induced Cholestasis
- Reduction in Conjugated/Direct Bilirubin [ Time Frame: 14 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Primary endpoint - reduction in conjugated/direct bilirubin level to below 1 mg/dl. Previous studies suggest that conjugated/direct bilirubin will remain elevated for approximately 8 weeks. Subsequently, levels are expected to fall by approximately 1 mg/dl/week until they normalize. A patient who begins Omegaven® with a conjugated/direct bilirubin level of 7 mg/dl is likely to experience normalization within 14 weeks (8+6 weeks). We will compare the group receiving Omegaven® with historical controls from our internal registry who have demonstrated cholestasis while on Intralipid®.
- Normalization of total bilirubin and liver enzymes [ Time Frame: 14 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Secondary endpoints will be: normalization of total bilirubin and liver enzymes. Differences in these values at the end of 14 weeks of therapy will be compared with those of controls via Kaplan-Meier analysis identical to that employed for conjugated/direct bilirubin levels. Furthermore, we expect that elevated triglyceride levels which might be present at the initiation of therapy will have normalized at the same time that liver profiles have normalized.

|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|July 2025 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Omegaven
Subjects will receive Omegaven at a dose of up to 1 g/kg body weight/day until they no longer require TPN or until their conjugated/direct bilirubin has normalized and their enteral lipid intake is sufficient to discontinue intravenous lipids.
Drug: Omegaven
For the first two days of treatment, subjects will receive Omegaven® at 0.5 g/kg per day to assess tolerance and will progress to a maintenance dosage of up to 1g/kg per day over 12 hours at an infusion rate of 1 g/kg/12 hours (10 ml/kg/12 hours). Dosing is based on previously described dosing of fish-oil emulsions as monotherapy noted within the literature. Omegaven® will be infused intravenously through either a central or peripheral catheter in conjunction with other parenteral nutrition containing dextrose and amino acids. Omegaven® is isotonic. It is compatible with parenteral nutrition solutions and may be co-infused via y-site.
Detailed Description:
Enrollment of subjects into this study will occur for up to 4 years. Subjects will receive Omegaven at a dose of up to 1 g/kg body weight/day until they no longer require total parenteral nutrition or until their conjugated/direct bilirubin has normalized and their enteral lipid intake is sufficient to discontinue intravenous lipids.

The Rio de Janeiro, Brazil-based newspaper O Globo reported on July 9 that former NSA contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden had provided it with documents showing that the United States has been accumulating data on telephone calls and e-mails from several countries in Latin America, including Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.
Citing the report in O Globo, the Washington Post reported that the NSA had collected military and security data "on countries such as Venezuela, an American adversary that has been accused of aiding Colombia's Marxist rebels and maintaining close ties with Iran."
While spying on a leftist regime such as Venezuela's might be understandable, the documents show that the NSA carried out surveillance operations to discover inside information related to the oil and energy industries not only in Venezuela, but also in Mexico.
The Post quoted a statement from U.S. officials in Bogota, Colombia, whose statement on the assertions printed in O Globo was: "We have been clear that the United States does gather foreign intelligence of the type gathered by all nations."
Brazil's Communications Minister Paulo Bernardo told reporters in Brasilia that Thomas Shannon, the U.S. ambassador to Brazil, denied in a meeting that the United States carries out surveillance operations on Brazilian communications and told him that the United States is not working with Brazilian telecommunications operators, reported the Post.
The Guardian (U.K.) also cited Bernardo's opinion that the NSA data gathering was likely to have been done by satellite or by tapping undersea cables, but he also wanted to determine whether domestic international providers were involved.
"If that has happened, these companies broke Brazilian law and acted against our constitution, which safeguards the right to privacy," said Bernardo.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff told reporters on Monday that her government would raise the issues with the UN Commission on Human Rights, asserting, "Brazil's position on this issue is very clear and very firm. We do not agree at all with interference of this kind, not just in Brazil but in any other country."

BUFFALO, N.Y.-In front of a packed house Saturday afternoon, Canisius hosted St. Joes at the Koessler Athletic Center at Canisius College. Unfortunately for St. Joe's, part two would have the same ending as part one.
Canisius beat St. Joes 72-60. Canisius finishes the Monsignor Martin League regular season with a record of 12-0. After losing today, St. Joe's finishes its regular season with a record of 9-3.
Leading scorers for the Crusaders were seniors # 25 Adam Weir with 21 and # 3 Aaron White with 19. White who played "absolutely phenomenal" according to Coach Kyle Husband said, "we knew how important this game was coming in here, I just wanted to play my heart out for my teammates and get this win."
Canisius lead the game by 17 at one point late in the second quarter. The lead wouldn't last as St. Joes would battle back to go up by one. On losing the large lead Coach Husband said, "This is one of the biggest rivalries in town, I mean it is the biggest rivalry in town, it's never going to be easy, it's going to be a dog fight. They came out, they battled, that team could of backed down, and they didn't for a second they kept fighting. Turned into a great game, right to the end."
Strategy to get back into the game for the Crusaders was a to play defense, "take a deep breath, play the way we know we can play, the way we started earlier. We gotta get stops, we gotta rebound. They killed us on the glass tonight. So we tightend up a little bit and that got us through" Husband said.
White knew this game wouldn't be easy, "just playing till the end, we knew that they were gonna make a run cause the game is up and down with runs, we just wanted to keep fighting and come back and we did that".
The win today for Canisius according to Husband was largely because of their seniors, "feels great, and a lot has to do with those 3 seniors, they've been here the whole time, Aaron White was absolutely phenomenal tonight, Matt McDonald same thing just a rock, and Adam Weir you know, I don't need to say much more than that. Bu those 3 have been here the whole time, that's a big reason why we've done it"
By winning today, Canisius locks in as the first seed in the playoff bracket, "Its means a lot", White said," so we get the #1 seed it's not an easy road to the (Manhattan) Cup but I'd rather have this road then a different seed."
Canisius now has three regular season championships with two playoff championships. "it's a lot of hard work, we work all year round", Weir said, "feels good, that was our goal coming into the season, we wanted to go undefeated in the league and hoped that would take us into the playoffs and we did just that ... were looking forward to it ... we're ready to play who ever we get".
Though the Crusaders went undefeated this season, Coach Husband and White still aren't impressed. Husband said, "I'm not impressed yet, we got a lot of basketball left. I'm excited where we are I think we're doing a great job, I'll be impressed when it's all said and done." White says he won't be impressed until he gets his state championship, "im still hungry for states."
Baring any upsets, theirs a good chance these two teams could meet again at the Manhattan Cup Championship. The Championship game is scheduled for Wednesday, February 27th at Canisius College Koessler Athletic Center at 6 pm.

OGDENSBURG Federal lawmakers and the head of the Export-Import Bank of the United States met in the city Friday to discuss ways to export more north country goods north of the border.
Members of the local business community gathered at the Dobisky Visitors Center, looking across the St. Lawrence River to Americas biggest trade partner, to meet with Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh; and Fred P. Hochberg, chairman and president of the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
Mr. Hochberg said he was excited to be invited to Ogdensburg and hoped that the round-table meeting would herald a new era of business success in the north country capitalizing on the regions proximity to Canada.
Mr. Hochberg said his agency, the official export credit agency of the federal government, works with a handful of businesses in the north country.
Frankly, not nearly enough, he said, and thats why we came with the senator. Theres great export potential here.
The round-table discussion offered business owners a chance to begin a conversation about how the Export-Import Bank can help jump-start the regions economy.
Sitting right here across the water from Canada, we have an export community thats vast, Mrs. Gillibrand said. So it makes a lot of difference for our local businesses to be able to ask the chairman of the bank how he can help them export their products further.
The bank provides export credit insurance, loan guarantees and direct loans to businesses of all sizes to help lower the cost of entrance into the international market and, ultimately, increase the number of American jobs.
Mr. Hochberg said that often after the bank helps get a small business on its feet, private financing companies come into the picture because the risk has been reduced.
We often get companies up and running, and once they get large enough, the private sector says, Now there is enough profit, well take over, he said.
For some in the room, it was the first time they had ever encountered the small but active federal agency.
Samuel J. LaMacchia, chairman of the board of directors of the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority, said he was unaware the bank and its assistance programs existed, and said he was interested to learn more about how the bank can help his organization increase activity at the border.
Roxaina L. Hurlburt, director of marketing at Mercers Dairy, Boonville, attended the meeting to see if the bank would be able to help her business overcome a very specific hurdle.
After speaking with representatives from companies in Asia and the Middle East, Mrs. Hurlburt said, she knows there is an international market for the ice cream her company produces. The cost of the right packaging machine, however, is too much for the small business to manage.
Mrs. Hurlburt said most of the countries she is looking to export to want small, Dixie cup-sized ice cream containers, while her company is able to produce only pint-sized boxes with its current technology.
They dont have any place to put a pint, she said.
Mrs. Hurlburt said her company is looking to the Export-Import Bank to help it get over the initial hurdle of buying the equipment needed to package smaller portions for the international market. She said it is an investment the private sector has been hesitant to make.
Weve got the market. We know how to get it there. Weve got all the connections. But if you havent got what they want, youre out of business, she said. Were not looking for long-term financing because we can finance the machine once we get it running. Its getting there that is the issue.
Mr. Hochberg said the best way for area businesses to get in touch with his agency is by logging onto www.exim.gov.
Mrs. Gillibrand said she sees it as her responsibility to help our local businesses get the resources they need to be successful. A lot of resources are available through the federal government, so if I can make the right introductions, it means our businesses can grow.
This was a spectacular group, super-energized, Mr. Hochberg said after the meeting.

Last Wordsby George Carlin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As one of America's preeminent comedic voices, George Carlin saw it all throughout his extraordinary fifty-year career and made fun of most of it. Last Words is the story of the man behind some of the most seminal comedy of the last half century, blending his signature acer-bic humor with never-before-told stories from his own life.
In 1993 George Carlin asked his friend and bestselling author Tony Hendra to help him write his autobiography. For almost fifteen years, in scores of conversations, many of them recorded, the two discussed Carlin's life, times, and evolution as a major artist. When Carlin died at age seventy-one in June 2008 with the book still unpublished, Hendra set out to assemble it as his friend would have wanted. Last Words is the result, the rollicking, wrenching story of Carlin's life from birth — literally — to his final years, as well as a parting gift of laughter to the world of comedy he helped create.
George Carlin's journey to stardom began in the rough-and-tumble neighborhood of New York's Upper West Side in the 1940s, where class and culture wars planted the seeds for some of his best known material, including the notorious "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television." His early conflicts, his long struggle with substance abuse, his turbulent relationships with his family, and his triumphs over catastrophic setbacks all fueled the unique comedic worldview he brought to the stage. From the heights of stardom to the low points few knew about, Last Words is told with the same razor-sharp honesty that made Carlin one of the best loved comedians in American history.
"For more than a decade before his 2008 death, groundbreaking stand-up comedian Carlin had been working on his autobiography with writer Hendra (Father Joe), who finished it by distilling hours of conversations with the irascible social commentator. Armed with an eye for detail and a seemingly photographic memory, Carlin retraces his life in full, chronicling petty crimes and stolen kisses, escalating drug problems and the death of his wife with unflinching honesty. He applies that same precision to the mechanics of comedy, giving would-be comics a veteran's insight into the dynamics of crowds, the structure of a performance and the importance (or unimportance) of the social and political landscape. Tracing his evolution as a comedian from the first time he made his mother laugh to performing for an empty room in Baltimore to the series of HBO specials he made over the course of his career, Carlin peppers his narrative with the routines that have made him famous (though this is no gagfest, a la Brain Droppings, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, etc.). Throughout, Carlin comes off as a smart, humble everyman with a strong distaste for hypocrisy in all its forms; fans may be surprised at his discipline and drive, and anyone interested in comedy should find this autobio as illuminating as it is funny."

The autobiography that Carlin had nearly completed before he died, "Last Words" chronicles the late comedian's illustrious career. Includes commentary from Carlin's fellow comedian Hendra.
About the Author
Born in New York City in 1937, George Dennis Patrick Carlin was one of the greatest and most influential stand-up comedians of all time. He appeared on "The Tonight Show" more than 130 times, starred in an unprecedented 14 HBO Specials, hosted the first "Saturday Night Live" and penned three New York Times bestselling books. Of the 23 solo albums recorded by Mr. Carlin, 11 were Grammy nominated and he took home the coveted statue five times including a 2001 Grammy win for Best Spoken Comedy Album for his reading of his best seller Brain Droppings. In 2002, Carlin was awarded the "Freedom of Speech Award" by the First Amendment Center in cooperation with the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado, and he was the named 11th recipient of The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in June of 2008. George Carlin passed away at age 71 on June 22, 2008 in Santa Monica, California.
Tony Hendra was recently described by The Independent of London as "one of the most brilliant comic talents of the post-war period" He began his comedic career with Graham Chapman of Monty Python, appeared six times on the Ed Sullivan Show, was one of the original editors of National Lampoon, edited the classic parody Not The New York Times, starred in This Is Spinal Tap, and co-created and co-produced the long-running British satirical series Spitting Image for which he was nominated for a British Academy Award. He has written or edited dozens of books, most of them satirical, with the exception of two New York Times bestsellers: Brotherhood (2001) and Father Joe (2004).

When a Vatican spokesman last July compared the inclusion of women in priesthood to pedophilia, an 80-year-old Irish grandmother called for Catholics all over Ireland to skip Mass on Sept. 26.
On Aug. 11, The Irish Times reportedJennifer Sleeman as saying, "Join with your sisters and let the hierarchy know by your absence that the days of an exclusively male-dominated church are over."
So this Sunday, Sept. 26, Portland Catholics are expecting 1,000 people locally to heed Sleeman's call and pass on morning Mass. Instead, they will attend "a prayerful public witness event" at Shemanski fountain in the Park Blocks at Southwest Park Avenue and Salmon Street at 9:30 am in lieu of Sunday morning services at the Portland area's almost 40 Catholic churches.
If the demonstration attracts 1,000 people, it would be one of the larger gatherings of Portland Catholics this Sunday, since the largest Catholic church in Portland can get just under 1,000 people, according to figures provided by the Portland Archdiocese.
One protest organizer, Sarah Granger, says she wants a church where her 6-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter can achieve equal roles. Unlike some Protestant denominations that allow women to serve as ministers, the Catholic Church bars women from serving as priests.
"From a community organizing standpoint, this is a miracle," says Granger, a 34-year-old parishioner in Northeast Portland's St. Andrew's Church, the city's most liberal parish. "We have been able to put together something because the timing is right...people are ready to act."
Granger, along with fellow St. Andrew's parishioners Mary Ann Dickey and Gayle Bache, has spent about a month urging priests and other parishioners to take up the cause. Event organizers say anybody may attend, but that women will wear red to highlight their presence.
Among the demonstration's backers are St. Andrew's own pastor, Charles Lienert, and Downtown Chapel's pastor, Steve Newton. Both Lienert and Newton will conduct Mass in their parishes but support the demonstration.
"We support anything anybody would do to involve themselves more in their faith," Newton said in a phone interview.
Unsurprisingly, the demonstration is opposed by Archbishop John Vlazny, head of the Archdiocese of Portland that oversees about 410,000 Catholics in western Oregon. Archdiocese spokesman Bud Bunce says it's unlikely the priests backing the demonstration will face discipline. But Bunce adds that church officials are unhappy if any parishioners are skipping Mass to make a political statement.
"If they're choosing something rather than attend Mass, then that is disappointing," Bunce says. "These events aren't equal to the Eucharist."
Marylee King, a 64-year-old parishioner at Resurrection Parish in Tualatin, counters that it's important for her to get together with hundreds of sister Catholics unhappy about church leadership.
"I'm fed up with inequality and injustice by the church hierarchy," King says.
FACT: There are an estimated 1.1 billion Catholics worldwide.

Effect of Increasing Motor Cortex Inhibition on Task Specific Dystonia

- How to Read a Study Record
Dystonia is a disease where muscles in the affected body part are abnormally active. This may result in abnormal postures. The underlying mechanisms are not known. One proposed mechanism is located in the motor area of the brain that controls the coordination of muscles, called the motor cortex. It is well known that the motor area of one hemisphere of the brain (motor cortex) controls the movement of the opposite side of the body. When people perform tasks such as picking up an object or writing there are mechanisms in motor cortex that focus the level of activity so that they can do these tasks with a high level of precision. Focusing activity in motor cortex seems to be disturbed in people with dystonia. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a device that allows the non-invasive stimulation of the brain. When applied to the motor cortex it can upregulate or down regulate its activity. In the present study the investigators will conduct experiments on subjects with task specific focal hand dystonia (such as writers cramp) using TMS to decrease unwanted motor activity. The investigators will assess the effects of this intervention using objective, subjective and kinematic measures. This is a pilot study and will require further research to assess the long-term effects of repetitive TMS on task-specific focal hand dystonia.

Every year seems to bring new developments at Gore Mountain Ski Area, NY. In fact, if you havent been there over the past ten years, you might not recognize it.
Eldred - I heard that you are from Lake Placid. Have you always been in the Adirondacks?
Mike Pratt - Yes! Born and raised in the Adirondacks. After college I spent a couple of years in the Rockies, moved back to the Adirondacks in the mid 80s. I have worked at Gore since 1986.
Eldred - What is your position at Gore?
Mike Pratt - I am the General Manager and have been at that position since 1996.
Eldred - What Gore improvements would you like our readers to know about?
Mike Pratt - Historically, Gore Mountain was 4 sides of 2 mountains. Now the area covers 9 sides of 4 mountains. We have balanced the expansion and included redevelopment of the North Creek Ski Bowl very nicely while modernizing the traditional historic area.
Eldred - Have you seen more folks coming from outside the region to stay for the weekend or a week?
Mike Pratt - Absolutely. In the early 90s our marketing radius was within 2 to 2 � hours. That has increased to a 6 hour radius. More vacationers now come from Ontario, Toronto, Buffalo, the Philadelphia area, New Jersey, and Long Island. All roads lead to Gore!
Eldred - I myself have been amazed by how Gore has developed.
Mike Pratt - What is nice about Gore is that there are so many natural resources to take advantage of. We have the Hudson River. There are 9 sides of Gore Mountain that make up our great terrain. I-87 and NY Rte 8 practically come right up our driveway. There are lots of people in the Gore area that help make the mountain special.
Eldred - How about the Gore glades?
Mike Pratt - They are great! Whats nice about our glades is that we have them at so many different elevations and areas on the mountain. You can ski through northern hardwood, spruce, or birch wood forests.
Eldred - Do you have any thoughts on the ski Industry?
Mike Pratt - There is a lot of effort to make skiing easier and more attractive for new participants.
At Gore we have the Northwoods Lodge. It makes it easier for beginners to walk through the lodge, get lessons and rentals, and work their way out to their lessons at the Base Area.
Gore instructors do a super job with kids, starting them on the magic carpet and working them towards the Northwoods Gondola. Off the gondola we have the green rated trail Ruby Run connecting with Sunway. It takes beginners all the way back to the Base Area, almost 2 � miles of skiing. Everyone loves it!
Eldred - What is on the horizon for Gore?
Mike Pratt - We are working on expanding our summer operation and activities. We continue to make improvements to the lodges and tweak the snowmaking. One of things for the future is a summit warming lodge. Plans are in place for remodeling the original gondolas unloading building. It has great architecture, all southern yellow pine.
The 2013-2014 season will be a big anniversary, the 80th of the first snow train to Gore from Schenectady, NY.
Gore has won three environmental awards including one for our educational efforts. We love telling historic stories about the area. In 1999, when we started our Bear Mountain Expansion and the Gondola Replacement Project, we began naming our trails after great Adirondack camps, like Sagamore (Burnt Ridge Mountain). In each gondola cabin we tell different stories, regional stories about geology or ecology, recently stories have been about Adirondack pioneers. Our heritage is important to us.

Outspoken congressman Alan Grayson is at it again, lobbing rhetorical grenades at Tea Party supporters in an attempt to raise cash for his reelection campaign.
This time, he is trumpeting a statement he made last week on MSNBC, claiming "the Tea Party is no more popular than the Klan."
In case those getting his fundraising email failed to notice the statement, he illustrates it with a photo of a burning cross, using the T-shape to begin spelling out "Tea Party" above two hooded Klansmen.
Grayson's statement comparing the popularity of the Tea Party and the Klan was, of course, hyperbole. The Tea Party has a 14 percent favorable rating; about 0.002 percent of Americans are Klan members.
But in a statement to Local 6, Grayson (D-Florida) does not express any regret for conflating right-wing Republicans with domestic terrorist who shot, lynched and exploded bombs killing thousands of African Americans and others.
"Members of the Tea Party have engaged in relentless racist attacks against our African-American President,' Grayson wrote. "There is overwhelming evidence that the Tea Party is the home of bigotry and discrimination in America today, just as the KKK was for an earlier generation. If the hood fits, wear it."
Jason Hoyt, a Tea Party activist in West Orange County, was not amused. "Alan Grayson is a disgrace to the United States Congress and I'm confident his appearance on Al Sharpton's show did nothing to change the minds of either of his television viewers," he said, referring to the low ratings of the MSNBC host who interviewed Grayson.
Grayson returned to Congress this year from a new district after being voted out from his old district in the Tea Party wave of 2010.
He lost that election to now-Rep. Dan Webster (R-Florida) after airing an ad calling his opponent "Taliban Dan" and taking a Webster quote out of context to argue Webster would impose his "fundamentalist" beliefs on citizens.
Grayson made national headlines during his first term when, in September 2010, he stood on the House floor and described the Republicans' health care plan as "don't get sick. … If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly."

10 Award-Winning Home Brew Recipes
For hobbyists who want to create their own electronics from scratch, there comes a time in every project when two metal surfaces must merge. Solder, which changes from a flexible solid to a liquid, then back to a solid in seconds, is the magical metal glue that makes this happen. Solder can also be a frustrating mess. For reasons both aesthetic and functional, you'll want to learn how to work with it cleanly and neatly, because sloppy soldering means your project might not work.
The best solder for electronics is 60 percent tin and 40 percent lead and filled with rosin, a pine-tree secretion that slows oxidation to help the metal flow.
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) connect together electronic components (capacitors, resistors, LEDs, microcontrollers, sockets, etc.). Solder gives those components structural and electrical footholds at the spots where they're mounted, called pads. It's important that these surfaces start out clean, so wipe the PCB with a nonabrasive scrubber.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
With several airplane and river accidents occurring during the past year, Castle Valley residents can take comfort in the fact that a nearly 60-year-old organization stands ready to provide air search in the local area.
The service is used locally for search and rescue missions primarily, but was born in a time of national and world strife.
The Civil Air Patrol has a broad scope. Historical information provided by administrative officer Lora Akers of the Castle Valley Squadron demonstrates the diversified service provided by the patrol.
The Castle Valley Composite Squadron of CAP was formed in the mid-1950s and has continued to serve and be prepared to participate in missions as called upon, said the local officer.
"The squadron has been successful in preparing cadets who have wanted to enter the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., and become military pilots," she said. "CAP is an organization of civilians who volunteer to serve their community and country."
According to Akers, the Civil Air Patrol, a national service, was founded on Dec. 1, 1941, six days before the incident at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
"The world at that time was in a frantic and uncontrollable state of change," states documents provided by the administrative officer. "The European, Asian and African continents were consumed by conflict."
Akers, stipulates that these conflicts were using weapons borne of advanced technologies at the time including the airplane.
From here, the patrol's historical significants becomes immediately apparent.
"These weapons could deliver unimagined levels of destruction not only on the battlefield, but also to civilian populations hundreds of miles away from the battlefield," explained Akers. "It changed the face and consciousness of warfare."
"Most disturbingly for America, its citizens could not know that just six days after the CAP's founding, their country would be mired in this new kind of war," pointed out the local officer.
From the beginning, CAP's efforts would defend America's borders, train soldiers and airmen, rescue hundreds of men and women and help mold a new generation of Americans, explained the Castle Country officer.
"It's ultimate reward for service was the opportunity to make the same kind of difference in peacetime as the auxiliary of the nation's newest armed service: the United States Air Force," explained Akers. "And for the past 60 years, this is what the CAP has done."
The patrol has a threefold mission of emergency services, aerospace education and the cadet program.
The volunteer members dedicate themselves to serving through education, welfare and personal development services.
The CAP's resources are unparalleled by any other civilian search and rescue organization.
The patrol boasts America's largest privately owned fleet of single engine aircraft, shortwave radio network and countless ground vehicles in addition to nearly 60,000 volunteers.
The Civil Air Patrol provides a blanket of coverage spanning all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, stated Aker's informational documents.
Examples of missions the CAP has performed include:
â¢Assisting with surveillance in the skies above the Salt Lake Valley during the 2002 winter Olympics.
â¢Assisting with damage assessment and mapping related to Hurricane Katrina.
â¢Participating in search and rescue efforts for missing pilots and aircraft.
The rescue efforts include the search for famed pilot Steve Fossat and many others.
The local patrol meets two times monthly. Members train and practice for air search and rescue as well as ground search missions.
The local volunteers are frequently reviewed and monitored by United States Air Force personnel to ensure the members' readiness in time of need.
Carbon County residents interested in joining the squadron or gathering additional information about the historic group may contact Akers at 637-6303.

Invention and innovation: an introduction
This unit aims to provide an understanding of invention, design, innovation and diffusion as ongoing processes with a range of factors affecting success at each stage. You will gain an understanding of the factors that motivate individuals and organisations to invent, and the creative process by which individuals come up with ideas for new inventions and designs, and you will gain an understanding of the obstacles that have to be overcome to bring an invention to market and the factors that influence the successful diffusion of an innovation into widespread use.
In Part 1 I invite you to look around at the technological products in your home or at work and consider their development history and their impact on the lives of you and your family. I then define the key concepts associated with the process of invention, design, innovation and diffusion.
Part 2 considers what motivates individuals and organisations to invent in the first place and how individuals come up with ideas for new designs and inventions.
Part 3 examines how technical, financial and organisational obstacles have to be overcome in order to bring an invention to the market. Once on the market a number of factors influence how well an innovation will sell.
