Built as a Platform, offered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), MEDgle hyper-personalizes triage, clinical decision support, population management, home health and more. Learn how MEDgle helps you scale.
How it works - BigMath and Health
Simply put, MEDgle operationalizes health data - taking patient data and creating actionable meaning. For each person, we leverage their real-time health data-streams (including chronological health history) and transform them into hyper-personalized next-step care actions and health indicators. At the macro level, we aggregate patient health data-streams and produce interactive clinical and financial predictive models so that the best care, with less time and cost, can be delivered.
Just as Intel provides chips to power computing devices, MEDgle provides cloud based APIs to analytics power clinical apps and devices such as EHRs, medical devices, health sensors, health social networks, and more. Simple put, MEDgle transforms raw patient data into actionable outputs.
The following describes how MEDgle maps raw data into hyper-personalized patient assessment, care options, and preventative actions.
The MEDgle platform is a ready-to-use customizeable predictive analytic model for all your health data. The platform features can be broken down into three main categories: acute (tactical), chronic (operational), and predictive & wellness (strategic).
Accessibility, Lookups, and More
MEDgle simplifies the use of complex analytics on any device at any time. Beyond transactional APIs, MEDgle provides the entire analytical platform via conversational APIs. In order to provide a complete platform, the MEDgle platform enables lookup access to the graph of medicine powering a simple way to engage with raw data in text, ICD9, ICD10, CPT, and other formats. In addition, the platform can be used to augment your current data and fill in the "probabilistic" gaps via our data enrichment API.
Currently, MEDgle provides its analytical api to be used with english, spanish, french, german, dutch, simplified and traditional chinese, japanese, and hindi/romantized hindi (comming soon). MEDgle also produces variable outcomes based on geography.

MEDgle's platform and apps provide the foundation for solutions such as triage, clinical decision support (CDSS), population management, wellness, home health, and more.
From HIT vendors, developers, providers to ACOs and Health Plans, MEDgle helps you scale cost efficiently leveraging a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. MEDgle is built as a platform, but offered as a service.
health.bigdata.decodedHyper-personalize your health and analytics with the mathematics of medicine. With over 20,000 physicians hours, 100's of GB of raw data, and over 140 million probabilistic data-points, our analyics platform brings the human context and the graph of medicine to your data and applications.
There are 2 key challenges in developing impactful health IT solutions:
MEDgle is a unique healthcare platform (data & algorithms) enabling personalized evidence-based care at scale. MEDgle's platform can power 100's of new personalized health applications at different points in the complex healthcare system. A few examples are:
care.accelerated.10xDeliver patient care faster, smarter, and safer. While tsumani of data increases demand for care decisions exponetially, it also provides the opportunity to acclerate care. With our platform we have improved triage by 10x, tele-triage by 2x, and care plan generation by 5x.
Individual providers and systems are under increasing preasure to do more with less. As the demand explodes, the supply of physicians and nurses is becoming increasingly difficult. MEDgle platform and apps help you scale your clinical workforce and act as a force-multiplier. MEDgle helps put patient data to work by helping providers and systems answer questions such as:
health.risk.quantifiedUnderstand and improve the health of your members through data Rx. We help you understand your population by combining the hyper-pesonalized risk of each patient. Using predictive big analytics, we combine our big data with your data to generate a more accurate picture of your patients today and in the future.
At an individual basis, MEDgle creates a clinical-financial model that allows a Health Plan or ACO to understand and predict:
MEDgle allows care organizations to get a 360 degree view of the patient, to understand the health benefits of their financial and operational choices (individual and aggregate), as well as to understand the ROI (outcomes analysis) of their actions.
The world is demanding hyper-personalization: the mass customization of products, services, and delivery. In healthcare, more than in any other industry where one-size does NOT fit all, the question of personalization of care decisions AT scale is critical.
The MEDgle platform automates these core activities using 100's of millions of data-points and big analytics; putting patient data to work and transferring the focus from record management to evidence based personalized decisions at the point of care. Our unique platform enables numerous enterprise & consumer health applications at different interaction points in the complex healthcare system.
Below are few reference apps for patients, providers, and health plans.

Going beyondUsing data scientists from MIT, over 20,000 physicians hours, numerous data models, numerous algorithms, exhausitive testing on 1000's and 1000's of patient cases, and comparisons to 100's of protocols; we have decomposed the Doctor Algorithm into two main parts:
Building the graph of medicineOver the course of last 5 years, using a combination of physician data entry, data stiching, and physician supervised machine learning/data-mining, we have built the graph of medicine to be over 140 million data-relationships strong. And growing daily!
To scale constructing the graph of medicine, MEDgle uses its growing 140M probabilistic medicine graph and semantic analysis to convert unstructured text (articles, SOAP notes, etc) into semi-structured data with entities, probabilities and relationships. These probabilities and relationships form individual "candidate" probability graphs. Our physicians then review the aggregate "candidate" probability graphs to validate which relationships should be added to the the "medical graph", thus completing the surpervised learning cycle.
"Data by itself has no meaning. When it's organized and personalized, it's priceless." -- Ash Damle, HHS health datapalooza #healthdata
Beyond data mining we have leveraged the quickly growing number of siloed health data repositories; namely those from U.S. governments Health and Human Services (HHS). We have stiched these independant databases together with our medical graph to generate the world's most complete organized probabilistic graph of medicine. In accelerate data stiching and the applicability of the platform, all of MEDgle's data has been coded to meet industry standards such as ICD9, ICD10, CPT, and upcoming SNOMED.
The "medical graph" is the result of processing raw big data into usable curated big knowledge. The graph of medicine forms the backbone for a pre-computed curated probabilistic analytic model that is ready-to-use and enables patient data-streams to be analyzed and scored in real-time and available at the point-of-care. MEDgle specifically translates any available clinical data (age, gender, symptoms, durations, vitals, previous conditions, family history, claims, diagnostic tests, etc) into on-demand clinical expertise such as acuity level, acute and chronic differential diagnosis, admission risk, investigative questions, labs, treatments, and more. The data is a large-scale meta-analysis of publicly available statistical data from sources such as the CDC, NIH, pubMED, up-to-date, emedicine, and many many more. To date we have processed over 200GB of raw data in form of webpages, pdfs, downloadable databases, and more.
Imagining the mathematics of medicineSimple put, we have mapped medical analytical concepts to functional mathematics. Beyond big data repositories (EHRs), to operationalize health data and hyper-personalize care we need medical algebraic operators that combine real-time patient data-streams with the graph of medicine.
Our quantitative medical reasoning, a.k.a the mathematics of medicine, is based on calculi which comprises quantitive relations and operational algorithms that encode operations like + − × ÷ ∂ ∫. In specific, the quantitive relations are not the individual entities medical concepts but rather the sets of 3-tuple probability relationships that make up the graph of medicine. These relations form a "medical" algebraic ring, MAR. For example, composition (+) is roughly translated to the tensor product of set of discrete probability density functions which takes advantage of the assumption of that pairwise relationships are disjoint. The tensors are the set of relationships that are definied by the sub-graph of medicine that connects to the known patient data-stream points.
The medical graph provides the computational human context by probabilistically describing the "topology" of possible human conditions. The algorithms conceptually map to the functional medical operator algebras such as + − × ÷ ∂ ∫ on the medical algebraic ring. Interestingly, the entire process is auditable as the algorithms are deterministic even though they are non-linear.
The Doctor AlgorithmIn net, MEDgle generates a real-time patient specific clinical-financial analytic model given a patient's data stream. This approach enables the Doctor Algorithm to generate both a the short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) predictive model. The Doctor Algorithm is a set of linked algrithms and predictive models facilitating iterative data aggregation and sensemaking from health data-streams by combining the mathematics of medicine and the medical graph to perform higher-order medical operators on patient data-streams such as acute differential diagnosis, chronic differential diagnosis, hyper-personalized care plans, response modeling, risk modeling, and more. At its heart, the Doctor Algorithm is a big knowledge probabilistic graph-based solution.
The current health address
A health address is made up of two parts: the current diagnosis (if any) and at-risk-for diagnoses given demographics and current lifestyle factors. An individual's current symptoms, their duration, age, gender, height, weight, previous conditions, family history, lifestyle, labs, and imaging are just a few of the parameters that used to zero-in-on the current health address. To triangulate these inputs into the current health location, the Doctor Algorithm uses over 140 million data-points of the graph of medicine and complex mathematics. In addition, to help refine the current health address, the Doctor Algorithm identifies and prioritizes the best questions to ask and tests to administer.
Help find the best route to healthy
Given the current health address, the Doctor Algorithm analyzes the alternative routes to help find the best set of directions (treatment, medication, and behavior changes) to destination "health".
MEDgle's Doctor Algorithm differs from a recommendation system.
The Doctor Algorithm differs greatly from recommendation approaches suc as collabortive filtering, bayesian classifiers, cluster analysis, decision trees/rule-based engines, artificial nueral networks. Except for decision trees, all the other recommendation approaches map conceptually to cluster analysis which infers similarity between patients and thus provide a avenue for prediction. The major flaw with this approach is: similar does not equal equal. Even if two people are 99% the same from all input variables, the %1 difference could be the key difference. In health, as each person is different, the number of "sample" longitudinal examples needed runs in the 100's of millions. And even then, there isn't any way to incorporate known medicinal science into the algorithms easily. In addition, as the number of possible input variables increases, the number of samples grows exponentially and the complexity or sets of classifiers grows unwieldy.
Beyond recommendation via clustering, pattern matching and voting search recommendation solutions also cannot take into account known medical science when analyzing a given case. They simply try to find associated entities in text or databases indexed, then rank the options according to varies strategies. Though some of the newer recommendation solutions try to use complex multi-level logic graphs, the ability to "automatically" generate the structured probabilistic graph of medicine and the associated logical algebras are beyond their current ability. Also, the majority of these systems do not allow for human curation. In high risk industries, fully automated solutions are very hard to cost/benefit justify.
MEDgle's Doctor Algorithm differs from a rule-based system.
The critical problem with decision trees or rule-based systems is their in-ability to scale. It simply is not possible to create and maintain millions if not billions of rules. Even rule-based systems utilize data-mining and machine learning to hypothesize rule candidates more often or not use humans to verify the rules. While this is much more scalable, it still is not able to address the full range of possible inputs and necessary rules. This is especially true as the number of inputs ranges in the 1000's if not 10,000's.
MEDgle's Doctor Algorithm complements traditional and ad-hoc BI solutions.
In contrast, the Doctor Algorithm is very synergistic with traditional BI, ad-hoc BI, and semi-ad-hoc BI as it provides an additional interpretive data layer that augments the base data that current BI tools use.
MEDgle's Doctor Algorithm overcomes challenges and delivers hyper-personalization.
A big knowledge probabilistic graph-based approach with decision tree generating algorithms addresses many of the issues of the above approaches.
From Science to Application: the MEDgle PlatformThe MEDgle platform combines the Doctor Algorithm (data + algorithms) and a health stream store for housing data with a RESTful webserice API that makes hyper-personalization of care and operationalization of health data easily accessible to everyone. The full list of functionality can be found at the platform section.
7 Billion+ people generate terabytes of health data everyday. With mobile computing becoming ever present, with storage becoming commoditized, with processing doubling every 1.5 years, today we are at an inflection point. Today we finally have the ability to capture the health data being generated, but can we transform it into better cost-effective health?
We are becoming data rich, but still are care poor. We are just at the start of health datafication. We need to put patient data-stream to work and transfers the focus from record management to human health management.
introducing MEDgle
MEDgle redefines Human Health Management (HHM) through real-time big analytics. We started MEDgle to address the clinical supply-demand imbalance world-wide and the tsunami of health data being generated by EHRs, medical devices, and the web. Looking to bring value to the over $1B of investments in health data capture, generation, and transmission over the last 3 years, MEDgle provides the engine to transform the bits of clinical data into patient specific concrete human meaningful information, options, and tasks.
Simply put, MEDgle operationalizes health data - taking patient data and creating actionable meaning. For each person, we leverage their real-time health data-streams (including chronological health history) and transform them into hyper-personalized next-step care actions and health indicators. At the macro level, we aggregate patient health data-streams and produce interactive clinical and financial predictive models so that the best care, with less time and cost, can be delivered. Collectively, our Health Data Stream analytics puts patient data to work and transfers the focus from record management to human health management.
To facilitate data aggregation and sensemaking from data-streams we have decoded the graph of medicine to discover the mathematics of medicine, the application of predicitive algorithms and structured probabilistic graphs in real-time to data-streams. In effect we have discovered the combination of data and algorithms that allow us to conceptually apply operations such + − × ÷ ∂ ∫ to health data in a clinically meaningful manner.
Just as Salesforce has shown customer relationship management (CRM) was the transformative component for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, MEDgle looks to unleash the full power of electronic health record (EHR) systems with big analytics.
"it's not about finding new drugs or new treatments... the rocket science in health and health care is how we deliver it" -- Dr Jim Yong Kim (Harvard)
MEDgle was started in late 2006 by data scientists/A.I. experts from MIT and board certified physicians with a focus on operationalizing health data. The time spent has been in building the necessary data-models, the data itself, curating data, and the algorithms that enable real-time predictive clinical analytics at the sufficient clinical quality to be of real value. MEDgle launched its first alpha, http://www.medgle.com/ - a symptom checker and diagnosis definition application, to the public at end of Q2 2007. Since then, medgle.com has had over 7M unique visitors, 23M pages view, and numerous awards such as invited sponsor to AMA events, HON certification, WebWare top 100 finalist, Blueprint HIT 2012 finalist. In addition, we have assembled over 140M data-points and tested the learning algorithms with 1000's of cases. We have built the big health analytics platform with the data and algorithms to operationalize the explosion of health data being captured.
Our management team combines the experiences of physicians, data scientists, executives and an advisory board with extensive backgrounds in evidence-based medicine, research, big data & enterprise solutions.

|DHHS; No Errors in Three Boone Motel Deaths
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 13 August 2013 07:40
The first determination has been handed down in the deaths of three people at the Boone Best Western Hotel, that with the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services issuing a determination that no state employees "erred" in the events surrounding three carbon monoxide deaths.
The Charlotte Observer quotes state spokesman Ricky Diaz from an email that, "The department's direct involvement in investigating the deaths in Boone was limited to processing the specimens submitted to the State Toxicology Lab for analysis," and said, "Based on our review of the facts, we do not believe that any state employee erred in performing their responsibilities." DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos said back in June that deaths "should have never happened" and vowed to make changes. The finding comes as a measure that would require hotels and motels in the state to have carbon monoxide detectors is on the Governor's desk for approval in a bill with a wide range of regulatory changes. But The Observer says that its investigation has uncovered a series of investigative missteps by multiple local and state agencies, including the N.C. medical examiner's office, which is part of DHHS. Fire officials admit they did not test the hotel for carbon monoxide after the first two deaths occurred in April, but that the room had been ventilated at the time. Watauga County Medical Examiner Dr. Brent Hall did not visit the death scene when the first deaths occurred, even though experts say it is a crucial first step in determining how a person died, according to the paper, which said documents show Hall wrongly suspected that a drug overdose might have caused those deaths. The Observer's article says officials took about six weeks to produce the toxicology tests results for the Jenkinses that experts told them could be completed in less than 20 minutes. On June 1, the state medical examiner's office learned that Shirley Jenkins had a lethal level of carbon monoxide in her blood when she died at the Best Western, but the office did not alert local police, fire or health officials until after 11-year-old Jeffrey Williams of Rock Hill was found dead in the same room on June 8. The medical examiner's office didn't finish the toxicology report for Daryl Jenkins until June 9, the day after the boy died.

The 21 publications of the Northwest Unit are part of GateHouse New England's blanket coverage of Boston's western suburbs.
In less than 2 1/2 years, about 60 GateHouse Media newspapers around the U.S. have gone through a redesign process as part of the GateHouse News & Interactive Divsion's Newsroom Incubator program . That number will grow to more than 80 with the graduated redesign launch of 21 newspapers in GateHouse New England's Northwest Unit. This project clearly has been one of the larger, if not largest, redesign projects GateHouse has undertaken.
Below is some description on how we started the process with the group in New England.
Follow along with me as I post regular updates and interviews over the next couple days as we launch the first two of 21 newspapers.
In late 2008, Chuck Goodrich, Northwest Unit group publisher, Kathy Cordeiro, the group's editor in chief, contacted David Arkin, executive director of GateHouse's News & Interactive Division to discuss the possibility of a redesign project that would include all 21 newspapers.
Chuck and Kathy wanted a redesign that would not just improve the presentation, but also the content, which are two of the main goals of the redesign project. We discussed logistics, such as common fonts, style sheets and ways to make the newspapers look very different.
Chuck and Kathy felt that the process of looking at every single newspaper and examining what should be part of their specific content mix, their front page colors and presentation — and not creating cookie cutter newspapers — seemed to make sense and a good avenue to go in re-creating their newspapers.
They said yes to the process and we were off.
David Arkin visited the group of papers in early March and an evaluation of their products, their processes and their content officially kicked off.
A detailed, page-by-page content plan was created in collaboration with Chuck, Kathy, David and the editors of each paper. That's a daunting task considering the 21 papers and the differing perspectives of the editors.
Once a redesign has been put in motion, one of the first things we do is send a redesign questionnaire (see photo) to get some key information that we need to begin.
The information provided by this questionnaire tells us what we need to know to begin the first process: creating a master page template with the proper dimensions and specs. We also find out a little about the production process, a crucial step to the success of any redesign
With the content planning and master page details in place, the attention is turned to the newspapers' nameplates. Some of the nameplates resonate with the community, whiles most will be updated to modernize the look and better reflect the communities they serve. We look for demographics from each community to get an idea on the design direction of each nameplate. For example, a newspaper in a conservative community will get nameplate that reflects that. Tempering that with the tastes of the editors and publisher will yield a nameplate style that should better represent the readers of each publication. To facilitate this, a pdf of nameplate examples is sent to the editors for review (see photo).
Page 2 of 5 - Choosing only one style by looking at the names of other newspapers is difficult, so a number of font style selections were made. This gives some direction as to what styles may work and which fonts to avoid.
The prototype process begins with making front page samples (see photos). Most if not all of these prototypes have been improved since these have been made, which goes to show the number of revisions the prototypes go through before getting final approval.
Two back-to-back training sessions were held Monday for the editors of the 21 publications and the production staff that will build the new papers. Perhaps the most difficult part of any redesign is learning the lingo of new style names on the style sheet palette. There are other new design ideas and guidelines that are important to learn, but knowing the new "language" of styles can hinder the transition.
Check out the first page of the style guide in the photo slideshow. A full pdf can be found here.
The style sheets have been the most challenging part of getting the templates ready for the redesign launch. Problematic because there are 21 different newspapers that don't share all the same styles, yet it was important to maintain the same name on the styles that are used because they need to match the styles in the Word documents used by all the editors. (They use — eeek! — PCs!)
Some of the key people from the Northwest Unit who were integral to the redesign process and helped make it a success were kind enough to answer a few questions about the process.
• Kathy Cordeiro, editor-in-chief of the Northwest Unit
• Robert Burgess, managing editor and editor of The Beacon
• Michael Ballway, editor of the Times & Courier
• Ray Johnson, assistant manager of pagination of the Northwest Unit
Q: What prompted the move to redesign GateHouse New England's Northwest Unit?
Kathy Cordeiro: The staff here has embraced the online initiatives that we have undertaken in the last two years. But we have not lost sight of the fact that we also are print journalists. We take a great deal of pride in the print product we produce, both in terms of content and presentation. For a year or more, a number of editors had been raising the bar in terms of trying new cover designs and incorporating new features into their papers. At the end of 2008, the time seemed right to ask editors whether they had an appetite for tackling a redesign.
Page 3 of 5 - Q: What are some of the goals of the redesign?
KC: For the staff: A renewed pride and enthusiasm for putting together the print product every week, from new fonts to new ASFs, to centerpieces. Also, and very important, efficiencies that enable them to produce a terrific product despite the reduction in resources. For the readers: A more contemporary print product; rails that highlight ROP and Web content; organized, clean ROP pages that are easy to read; a more obvious focus on the people in the community.
Q: What one hurdle did you have to overcome in order to get to this point?
KC: I have to limit my answer to one? With respect to relaunching three of the smallest pubs as tabs, the biggest obstacle was getting the production department to buy into the change. Overall, I'd say the biggest hurdle for me - just me - is shaping the visions of editors for 21 weekly newspapers into an overall, unit-wide redesign project. Joe, you get a lot of credit for making that happen and putting up with the changes that it took to get to this point.
Another hurdle was working with a few news and sports editors who were reluctant to step up to the challenge of something new.
Robert Burgess: Focusing on what's happening at this moment in the newsroom, the big hurdle today was getting the right template on my computer so I could help in our first paper's launch. So instead of getting started first thing this morning, it's 4 p.m. and I can finally help put some pages together. I have no doubt we'll pull off deadline tonight anyway, and we prepared for something unforseen like this to happen, but I've been eager to get started.
Ray Johnson: From my perspective, the challenges were mainly technology- and staffing-related. I've been involved in many redesign projects over the years, so the scope and intricacy of a project like this was no surprise. But staffing levels being what they are right now and with major software upgrades (unrelated to the redesigns) and the attendant troubleshooting and workarounds still a daily routine at this point, folks have been pushed to the limit.
Q: How has the redesign process gone up to this point?
KC: The content review for all 21 pubs seemed to take too long. I'd do it differently if I were starting over (Don't even think it!) Once the prototypes starting getting out to the editors it created a buzz that has energized people for what's ahead. It definitely was the right decision to have you on site for the review of the new template styles. It would have been difficult to do remotely. My sense from watching people's faces during the review of the new styles Monday morning is that they think this will be a daunting task. Despite all the scrambling - and again, kudos to you, Joe, for doing what it took to stick to our deadlines - I'm pleased that we are on target to launch on schedule. No small feat for 21 pubs.
Page 4 of 5 - RB: The redesign process has gone well. Twenty-one pubs is a lot to do at once, but it has come together nicely. A bit of scrambling at the end - but that's inevitable with any big project isn't it?! We're excited about breathing new life into our jobs and our papers.
RJ: The process thus far has been exciting and exhausting. Joe has been a genuine pleasure to work with right from the start. From his initial conference calls from another time zone to his on-site presence on production day, Joe's boundless patience, constant communication and relentless attention to detail have had a calming and reassuring influence on the entire staff and the entire process.
Q: What advice would you recommend to other GateHouse newspapers that wish to be redesigned?
KC: Get the upfront support of newsroom staff. This is too important a project to undertake without buy-in, although it's probably inevitable that not everyone will appreciate being asked to make a change. Get all the departments who will help execute the redesign and relaunch involved as early as possible: advertising, circulation, promotions, production. Set a realistic schedule in collaboration with all those departments and then stick to it. This is a months-long process and everyone needs to have the dates front and center. By the time you're near the finish line, you'll just want to get it done. For anyone who might be considering redesigning multiple papers like we did, I would recommend streamlining the process, particularly in the content planning stage. ROP didn't end up being all that different paper to paper, so the time spent going over content for 21 papers could have been reduced.
RB: Be flexible, open minded, challenge yourself to try something new. Have a mission - don't just make the paper look better, but try to have it function better for readers and for you.
RJ: Before you commit to the process, be clear about what you want to accomplish and who will be the decision-makers – especially after the initial redesign process is done. If key staff don't buy in to the plan and won't follow through with consistent execution, I would suggest not wasting your time with a redesign. If however, there is a clear plan and someone on-site to enforce that plan after the designer leaves, the process can result in an editorial staff more focused on content, a production staff more focused on execution and a happier, more productive newsroom.
Page 5 of 5 - One newspaper down, 20 more to go. The next two tabs go into production on Thursday. The first two broadsheet editions launch simultaneously in a couple weeks. The remaining 16 broadsheets will launch in groups of eight over two weeks in mid- and late-September.
The editors and production crew did a fantastic job staying on track and communicated well throughout the night. Considering that editors and production crew work in separate offices, the complexity of the production system and going through training one day prior to the launch, the staff involved should be proud of what they accomplished.
Great job by all!

The College of Eastern Utah has announced that it has established a Crandall Canyon Disaster Scholarship Fund
In response to the on-going tragedy at the Crandall Canyon mine, CEU announced last week that a tuition assistance program for the dependants of the heroic members of the mine rescue team who were killed in an attempt to rescue the six trapped miners in the Crandall Canyon Mine has been established.
"It is in times of tragedy that we must come together as a community to address the needs of those who are suffering," said College President Ryan Thomas. "We at College of Eastern Utah offer what we have as a token of our caring for those who have been affected by these devastating events."
Thomas' grandfather was a coalminer who lost two brothers in the Scofield (Winter Quarters) mine disaster in the early 1900's.
Tuition will be waived by the college for any legal dependant of the deceased rescuers. Donations have also been received to help cover other associated educational expenses.
Individuals or organizations interested in donating to this fund should make their check out to CEU Crandall Canyon Disaster Scholarship Fund. Donations are tax deductible and one hundred percent of the donations will be restricted to covering educational expenses for these dependants while they attend CEU.
The college is committed to the on-going rescue efforts for the trapped miners. Should rescue efforts prove unsuccessful; the program will be expanded to care for the educational needs of the legal dependants of the trapped miners.

BUFFALO, NY- Developer Rocco Termini is opening his newest downtown project this weekend, a restaurant called Tappo.
The 4,400 square foot Italian themed restaurant is located in the old Horton Coffee Company building on Ellicott Street.
Tappo is co-owned by well-known chef Mike Andrzejewski, who also owns and operates Sea Bar, Cantina Loco, and Mike A's at the Lafayette.
Andrzejewski says he wants Tappo to be a fun and affordable place for people to dine at.
Tappo also features a wine wall where customers can pick out their own bottle of wine to have with their meal, as well as the only roof top dining patio downtown.
"It's not like any other dining space in Buffalo, so we're really looking forward to serving our guests up there," Andrzejewski said.
Termini is best known for taking old, abandoned buildings and turning them into prime real estate. He has transformed many downtown Buffalo buildings into residences and now looks to continue to build restaurants and retail space to revamp the area.
"We've created 400 housing units downtown, and one of the things that comes after housing is restaurants. So we're sort of priming the pump here with restaurants and we're planning to open up a series of other restaurants to help build the neighborhoods," Termini said.
The word Tappo means cork in Italian, and the restaurant has a bar and table tops made out of hand placed wine corks.
The new summer hot spot is holding private parties all week and officially opens to the public this weekend.

This is your chance for fame and fortune. Pizza Hut is looking for a star for their Super Bowl ad. The Pizza giant is holding a contest, asking people to submit a video of their best, silliest or most creative "hut hut hut' - which is what the quarterback shouts out. The deadline to submit your video is Jan. 20. Complete rules are at the Pizza Hut Facebook page.
They are accused of breaking the rules andnow some of the nation's biggest banks are reportedly preparing to pay up. Ten major banks and mortgage companies have agreed to pay $8.5 billion to settle complaints that they wrongfully foreclosed on homeowners who should have stayed in their homes. Federal regulators say the banks mishandled people's paperwork and skipped required steps in the foreclosure process. Under the settlement, people who were wrongfully foreclosed upon could get anywhere between a few hundred dollars and $125,000. The banks involved in the settlement include Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.
If you are a frequent flier, you could soon be grounded or have fewer flights to choose from due to a pilot crunch. Thousands of pilots are retiring, as many of them reach the federally mandated retirement age of 65. In August, new rules will also kick in, requiring pilots to get extra training and more rest. Analysts say, if this shortage occurs, regional airlines could be left scrambling. Both Cleveland Hopkins International and the Akron/Canton Regional airport have a lot of regional jets flying in and out.

SPRING GLEN - Betty Lou Lander, 87, died peacefully at Castleview Hospital on Friday, Sept. 21, 2012.
She was born on Dec. 11, 1924, at the Oliver Coal Camp, near Paonia, Colo., to Chauncie and Vera Taylor. She was the first baby born at Oliver and Betty Lou was the oldest of seven children.
Betty Lou went to school in Colorado and graduated from Paonia High School. She met her future husband, Vopel Lander, in Grand Junction, Colo., while he was on leave from the U.S. Army during World War II. They were married in Grand Junction on June 1, 1942. Of this marriage were born two children, Vondell Mae, and Vopel Harry, Jr.
Betty Lou is survived by Vondell Temple; her great-grandchildren, Shawn and Sabrina Temple; granddaughter, Michelle Bruno; and great-grandchildren Jaycey and Kaylee, all of Price. Other survivors include Shirley Temple Smith and great-grandchildren Nicole Mae and Nakeysha Rae Temple, of Elmo; her sisters, Gail Tribolett, Lake Havasu, Ariz; Thelma Bailey, Somerset, Colo; and her brothers, Ted Taylor and Fuzzy Taylor, of Grand Junction.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Vopel; her son Vopel, Jr.; and two grandchildren, Valerie and Steven Temple; and son-in-law Bruce Temple.
Betty Lou was a charming, feisty lady all her life. In particular, she was a great champion of her daughter, Vondell, who was born with visual challenges. Betty Lou and Vopel made every effort to ensure that Vondell had the best education they could provide. Even though some people told them it was impossible for Vondell to take bookkeeping and computer classes, Betty Lou always helped Vondell find a way. "Her number one project was me," Vondell said.
After living and working in Sunnyside, Raton and Moab, the Landers settled down in Spring Glen in 1971. Betty Lou loved to sew, knit and make crafts.
Betty Lou chose not to have a funeral. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome daily and may share memories of "Betty Lou" at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Basketball team dropped a heartbreaker in Flood Arena on Tuesday night 60-59 to St. Norbert College on a pair of free throws in the final seconds.
SNC started hot and jumped out to an 8-0 lead after two-plus minutes. But the Buccaneers responded with a 12-0 run over the next four minutes to go on top and then put a 9-3 run on top of that to lead 21-11 midway through the half. The Green Knights pulled back within four on a quick 6-0 run but Beloit closed out the half with a 12-5 spurt to lead 33-22 at the break.
The Bucs kept it up early in the second half and got their largest lead of the game at 40-26 three minutes in. But an 11-0 St. Norbert run over the next five minutes pulled them back within 40-37 with 12:22 left. Beloit got their lead back out to 45-39 before SNC answered with a 7-1 run to tie it up at 46-all with 8:51 remaining. Neither team could pull in front by more than three down the stretch. The Buccaneers took a 59-58 lead with 21 seconds left on a Lauren McNanna free throw. But the Green Knights drew a foul with six ticks left and made both free throws to go up 60-59. A desperation shot by McNanna at the buzzer went off the rim to end it.
After hitting 14-33 shots to help build their first half lead Beloit went cold in the second 20 minutes, hitting just eight of 23 attempts to finish at 39.3% for the game.
Lana Wieseman had 19 points and eight rebounds while Taylor Grace Silar scored a career-high 13. Jenna Larsen added a team-high nine rebounds while both McNanna and Kandace Fox had four assists.
The Buccaneers hit the road for a Saturday afternoon game at Monmouth College. Tipoff is at 1:00 p.m.

|May 3rd, 2010
Invincible Iron Man #25
Stark begins to rebuild his life.
|May 3rd, 2010
Iron Man/Thor (FCBD) #1

|April 25th, 2010

|April 22nd, 2010
X-Factor #204
The tie-in to "X-Men: Second Coming" adds a lethal threat to the story and, thankfully, it completely lacks Hope or Cable running around.
|April 21st, 2010
Her-Oes #1
