Oxiracetam is one of the Racetam, and is structurally different from Piracetam due to a single hydroxyl group. It is also used for Nootropic purposes such as enhancing learning in students or preventing against cognitive decline. Like all other racetams, it is a synthetic molecule that is not found in food sources or in nature.
When looking at the evidence for oxiracetam at this point in time it seems to have a fair bit of human evidence for reducing the rate of organic cognitive decline (a natural loss in cognition that occurs during the aging process that is not associated with any disease state) and with dementia, yet the lone study in persons with Alzheimer's showed no apparent benefit with oxiracetam supplementation. When it does aid in cognitive decline, it is somewhat comparable in potency to Alpha-GPC and seems to be slightly more potent than piracetam.
There is currently no evidence to support cognitive enhancement of oxiracetam in young humans with no cognitive impairment looking to increase memory formation.
When looking at animal evidence, oxiracetam appears to very reliably and potently prevent amnesia induced by a variety of anti-cholinergic or anti-glutaminergic compounds (injections of 3-30mg/kg in rats pretty much normalizing memory formation). It has been implicated in increasing memory formation in otherwise healthy and young rats/mice with no apparent cognitive impairment (suggesting that it can be used as a nootropic) but it appears to require at least a five day loading period.
Oxiracetam is a positive AMPA modulator similar in mechanism and potency (but not binding site) to both piracetam and Aniracetam but may have an additional benefit of increasing glutamate, acetylcholine, and D-Aspartic Acid release from activated but not resting neurons. This two-fold sequence (enhancing glutamate release and then positively modulating one of the receptors it signals through) ultimately increases metabolic activity in neuronal cells and memory formation.
4-hydroxy-2-oxo-pyrrolidinoacetamide, ISF-2522
Supplementation of Oxiracetam tends to be in the dosage range of 1,200-2,400mg taken over the course of a day, either in two to three evenly spread dosing periods (such as three doses of 400mg or 800mg).
No studies have assessed whether or not oxiracetam would benefit from being taken with a meal, but it should be taken approximately one hour prior to a learning activity.
The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (it excludes animal and in vitro studies) to tell you what effects oxiracetam has on your body, and how strong these effects are.

Oxiracetam (full name of 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-pyrrolidinoacetamide and classification of ISF-2522[1]) is a synthetic racetam molecule of the pyrrolidinone class with no known food sources, chemically derived from the parent Racetam compound Piracetam (2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinoacetamide) where the difference is the addition of a hydroxyl group upon the 4-carbon.[2] Due to being a racetam molecule, it is commonly supplemented as a Nootropic compound.
Oxiracetam is a GABA analogue that serves to support phospholipid metabolism,[3] positively modulate AMPA receptors,[4] and interacts with neurotransmitter release[5] with benefits to learning of a greater potency than Piracetam.[6]
Oxiracetam is a chemically synthesized nootropic compound of the racetam class, derived from the structure of Piracetam in order to increase potency
Relative to Piracetam, the only structural change seen in oxiracetam would be the hydroxyl group at the 4-carbon position on the pyrrolidinone skeleton. It is highly polar molecule.[7]
Oxiracetam is very structurally similar to Piracetam, differing by only a hydroxyl group on the 4-carbon as shown above
A single oral dose of 800mg oxiracetam is able to reach a Cmax in the blood of s 21.6µg/mL at approximately one hour post ingestion (with another study noting that after 150 minutes the concentration was 8.658µg/mL[8]), and had an overall AUC of 110+/-28µg/h/mL.[7]
Despite the rapid decline, it nears baseline values at 24 hours[7] and a preliminary study was still able to detect plasma levels (136ng/mL) 96 hours after oral ingestion of a single 800mg capsule.[8]
Oxiracetam appears to be absorbed following oral ingestion, and experiences a rapid peak at about an hour post-ingestion followed by rapid declines in serum concentrations
Mechanistically, oxiracetam appears to increase long term potentiation (LTP) in isolated hippocampal slices at 1µM[9] similar to Aniracetam.[10] This increased signalling efficiancy in hippocampal cells[9] is thought to be related to both an increased release of glutamate and D-Aspartic Acid from hippocampal cells when activated[5] at a concentration of 0.01-5µM (without affecting outflow of glutamate or D-AA when the neurons were not activated[11]) and enhancing glutaminergic signalling via AMPA receptors, which oxiracetam is a positive modulator of[4] and AMPA receptors are the ones mediating late expression of LTP.[12][13]
Although there is a less effective range, 0.1-1µM of oxiracetam also potentiates acetylcholine release from activated neuronal cells in hippocampal slices without affecting basal release[11] and in vivo studies suggest that oxiracetam does not modify resting acetylcholine concentrations in the brain.[14]
Finally, Protein Kinase C (PKC; an intracellular intermediate of memory formation[15]) has been noted to be stimulated in hippocampal cells with oxiracetam both in vitro (200-600nM) and in vivo (47% increase at 100mg/kg injections)[16] which is thought to be downstream of enhanced glutamae release (as activation of both AMPA and NMDA receptors can cause calcium influx into neurons and subsequently PKC activation,[17][18] and oxiracetam does not have direct effects on calcium channels[19]). The potency of 100mg/kg oxiracetam appears to be comparable to 600mg/kg orally ingested Alpha-GPC (or 50-200nM in vitro) and only in the hippocampus it was comparable to 30mg/kg orally ingested Aniracetam (200nM)[16] and oxiracetam's influence on PKC (membrane bound at least) has been directly correlated to its memory enhancement properties.[20]
May increase long term potentiation in the hippocampus, which is a phenomena thought to promote memory formation. This is possibly related to augmenting the release of excitatory neurotransmitters from activated neurons and enhancing their signalling via AMPA receptors, which then ultimately causes an increase in PKC activation
Studies that use otherwise healthy rodents and assess oxiracetam in memory formation or performance note that 30-100mg/kg is unable to benefit performance in a radial arm maze[21] but is associated with improvements in step down retention, and in older rats acquisition was improved[22] (acquisition in young rats given 3-30mg/kg oxiracetam before a water maze test have failed to find an effect[23]).
Retention on an elevated maze plus test appears to see benefit with 3-30mg/kg oxiracetam in otherwise normal mice despite no inherent effects on acquisition (benefitting naive but not well-trained mice).[24] This is a trend noted in other studies, with those using acute doses in trained rats failing to find benefit at doses up to 100mg/kg[21] and studies using oxiracetam throughout training periods given to naive rats noting that doses as low as 25mg/kg can be effective in improving learning.[25] Some other trials using single day protocols note no significant benefit of oxiracetam treatment[14][26] while chronic usage tends to cause improvements in memory detectable after 4 months of supplement cessation,[27] and that when benefits do occur they do not occur within prior to 16 hours after learning and instead manifest afterwards.[28]
Errors in a 12-arm radial maze test have been reduced at 100mg/kg oxiracetam, but not lower doses (25-50mg/kg) in rats while overall learning performance was improved at 25mg/kg and 100mg/kg;[25] this differs from a previous study using a less sensitive 8-arm radial maze test finding no benefit with 100mg/kg.[21]
In studies using avoidance tests, avoidance acquisition is enhanced with 5 days treatment of 25-50mg/kg oxiracetam (to a greater degree than Piracetam at 100mg/kg)[29] which has been replicated.[30] Both studies have found a failure of single doses to benefit avoidance acquisition[29][30]
The aforementioned increase in step down retention seen with oxiracetam also noted a failure of 100mg/kg Piracetam,[22] suggesting more potency with oxiracetam. Other studies note that piracetam tends to be the weakest on learning (when comparing oxiracetam, aniracetam, and pramiracetam[31]).
There may be some inherent improvements in memory formation seen with oxiracetam, but rodent studies suggest they are fairly unreliable
In animal models, oxiracetam has protected against scopolamine-induced amnesia[32][23][21][33] and amnesia induced by NMDA antagonists including MK-801,[24] AP-7,[34] and AP-5[35] while in vitro glutamate (NMDA) antagonism by kynurenic acid is also inhibited.[36] These anti-amnesiac effects occur in the 3-30mg/kg dosage range (intraperitoneal injections) and the higher dosages tend to abolish amnesia (no significant differences between the toxin with oxiracetam and control). Anti-amnesiac effects occur in both naive and well-trained mice.[24]
The protection against scopolamine amnesia has been replicated in humans at 800-2,400mg oxiracetam taken one hour prior to scopolamine.[37] While the animal studies using scopolamine suggest near absolute protection,[23][21][33] the human study failed to note this degree of protection and while all tested doses were effective no dose-depedence was noted.[37] Despite preventing amnesia, oxiracetam does not antagonize the stimulatory effects of scopolamine.[30]
These protective effects are similar to Aniracetam and are near absolute against scopolamine, yet require a lower dosage as the rat studies use 3-30mg/kg of oxiracetam as intraperitoneal injections.
Appears to have potent anti-amnesiac effects against cholinergic antagonists in a much more reliable manner
A pilot study in multi-infarct dementia using twelve persons with cognitive decline given 400mg oxiracetam daily for four weeks (building up to 1,200mg daily) noted hetereogeneous improvements in a dose-dependent manner which seemed to favor psychosocial function rather than cognitive capacity[38] and a later study in similar patients noted a significant improvement in verbal fluency.[39]
Other studies note that in 60 elderly persons with organic cognitive decline given 400mg oxiracetam and building up to a maintenance dosage of 2,400mg for a subsequent six weeks appeared to reduce symptoms of cogntive decline, with oxiracetam being more effective than piracetam at improving memory (less effective at reducing agitation)[1] and in a study of 272 persons with dementia noted benefits on cognitive decline on all three rating scales (IPSC-E, Blessed Dementia Scale and NMIC)[40] while one in 58 persons again confirmed improvement memory formation and verbal skills.[41]
In contrast to the above studies, the lone pilot study in persons with Alzheimer's has failed to find a benefit associated with oxiracetam therapy.[42]
At the standard recommended supplemental dosages, appears to reduce the symptoms of cognitive decline in elderly humans with particular efficacy towards verbal learning. There is a fair bit of evidence towards this, and up to 1,200-2,400mg it appears to give dose and time-dependent benefits
There may not be a benefit towards Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease is untested
Oxiracetam appears to be active in enhancing signalling through the AMPA glutamate receptor as a positive modulator at 1-100µM (no clear dose dependence) with a KD of 214+/-35nM[4][43] which is a property similar to both Aniracetam (176+/-7nM) and Piracetam (KD 190+/-51nM)[4]. Oxiracetam does not displace aniracetam binding from the AMPA receptor,[44] and when investigating further it is found that these molecules increase the Bmax of the low affinity component of AMPA receptor signalling but not the high affinity component and this increase in Bmax is comparable to the other two mentioned racetams.[4]
Oxiracetam appears to be an AMPAkine similar to Aniracetam and Piracetam, and can enhance signalling through these receptors. At least in regard to this mechanism, all molecules appear to be equally efficacious
The increased signalling efficiancy in hippocampal cells[9] is thought to be related to an increased release of glutamate and D-Aspartic Acid from hippocampal cells when activated[5] at a concentration of 0.01-5µM without affecting outflow of glutamate or D-AA when the neurons were not activated,[11] although 100µM causes a slight increase.[4]
Appears to augment glutamate and D-aspartic acid (agonist at glutamate receptors) release from neurons after neuronal activation, without per se affecting spontaneous release
As mentioned in the memory section, oxiracetam at 3-30mg/kg injections into mice prevents amnesia induced by glutaminergic antagonists MK-801,[24] AP-7,[34] and AP-5.[35] In vitro, the suppression of noradrenaline release caused by NDMA antagonists is prevented with oxiracetam at 1μM (with similar potency to Aniracetam).[45]
Appears to prevent amnesiac effects of glutaminergic antagonists
Oxiracetam has been noted to prevent the reduction in acetylcholine concentrations induced by electroshock therapy in rats, which was accompanied by preventing amnesia.[46] Since phygostigmine (an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor like Huperzine-A) is known to prevent amnesia secondary to preserving acetylcholine concentrations[47] it is hypothesized that the anti-amnesia properties of oxiracetam against cholinergic antagonists like scopolamine[23][21][33] are due to preserving acetylcholine concentrations, which has been noted against scopolamine-induced amnesia as well with oxiracetam at 50-100mg/kg (partial preservation in the cortex and hippocampus but not striatum).[14] Aniracetam was noted to be slightly more protective in the hippocampus, but inactive in the cortex.[14]
That being said, this is unlikely to solely explain the antiamnesiac effects since depletion of catecholamines (despite preservation of acetylcholine) abolishes the protective effects of oxiracetam against scopolamine.[48]
The decline in acetylcholine concentrations seen with cholinergic antagonists or amnesiac stressors appears to be prevented to a large degree with oxiracetam, which is thought to play a role in the anti-amnesiac properties (but is likely not the only explanantory factor)
In rats not given anti-cholinergics, both oxiracetam and aniracetam (100mg/kg) fail to significantly modify acetylcholine or choline concentrations in any tested brain region.[14]
Independent of increasing acetylcholine concentrations, oxiracetam appears to increase acetylcholine utilization in the cortex and hippocampus at 100-300mg/kg injections.[49] Repeated daily doses of oxiracetam was noted to increase acetylcholine utilization by 31% relative to control, and appears to be more potent and prolonged than Piracetam.[49]
Furthermore, despite no apparent changes in basal acetylcholine levels in vivo a concentration of 0.1-1µM oxiracetam in hippocampal slices appears to augment acetylcholine release.[11] Basal outflow of acetylcholine from these neurons when not activated was not modified.[11] It is thought that this enhanced release explains the increase in acetylcholine uptake noted with oxiracetam inherently[49][50] which causes a relative depletion of intracellular acetylcholine levels when choline uptake is blocked[49] (which can be explained by increased release rates).
Despite not influencing resting acetylcholine concentrations in the brain, appears to enhance the efficiency of acetylcholine signalling and the release of acetylcholine from activated neurons
Oxiracetam appears to have psychostimulatory properties as assessed by impaired sleep,[25] which is thought to be related to the cholinergic properties as the cholinergic systems of the brain stem/basal telencephalon facilitate arousal.[51] This arousal effect is thought to at least partly explain the promnesiac (memory enhancing) properties of oxiracetam.[25]
Studies that measure locomotion (a test that responds reliably to amphetamines and naive animals given Caffeine) fail to show a response with oxiracetam[30][2] and have at times been shown to cause a nonsignificant increase at 100mg/kg,[30] suggesting that the psychostimulatory effect is lesser than other drugs.
Appears to have psychostimulatory properties, although to a relatively small degree
While the stimulatory effects of oxiracetam do not perturb EEG readings during sleep (thought to be reflective of sleep quality), it appears to prolong sleep latency (the time required to fall asleep) in a dose dependent manner reaching a prolongation of 30% at 50mg/kg and 37.9% at 100mg/kg.[25]
Does not appear to impair sleep quality, but does appear to prolong the time required to fall asleep which is due to the psychostimulatory properties
Incubation of 0.01-1µM oxiracetam in hippocampal slices fails to modify the release of noradrenaline upon activation of the neurons, Piracetam was also ineffective on these three neurotransmitters[11] and the lack of effects on noradrenaline replicated even at 10µM.[45]
The inhibition of noradrenaline release from NMDA antagonists seems to be reversed with oxiracetam (1µM), which is due to oxiracetam's ability to reduce the effects of glutamate antagonism.[45] Despite this preservation, oxiracetam does not enhance NMDA-induced noradrenaline release.[52][36]
Oxiracetam does not appear to influence dopamine release from activated neurons at the standard concentrations of 0.1-1µM[50] but dopamine (as well as the other catecholamines) appear to be implicated in the anti-amnesiac effects of oxiracetam, as the well established protective effect against the anti-cholinergic drug scopolamine does not occur with low dopamine nor noradrenaline concentrations.[26]
The dopaminergic antagonist haloperidol, which is able to cause amnesia (specifically for aversive learning,[53] which dopamine is thought to modulate[54]), has this amnesiac property prevented with preadministration of 50mg/kg oxiracetam.[26] The reduction in locomotor activity commonly seen with dopaminergic antagonists[55] was not prevented with oxiracetam.[26]
The anti-amnesiac effects of oxiracetam appear to extend to preventing the amnesia associated with dopamine antagonists
Oxiracetam (0.01-1µM) in hippocampal slices has failed to modify the release of GABA when the neurons were activated or at rest.[11]
Diazepam (benzodiazepine) induced neuronal cell death appears to be attenuated by oxiracetam between 50-100mg/kg (1500mg/kg augmented damage).[56]
Does not appear to significantly change GABA kinetics
Interestingly, despite oxiracetam having anti-amnesiac properties against dopaminergic, cholinergic, and glutaminergic antagonists it has failed to prevent the amnesia associated with diazepam (an amnesia causing benzodiazepine[57]) at 3-30mg/kg.[23] This differs from the effects of Piracetam,[58] and due to having no explanation at this point in time and a trend to protect from amnesia further studies are required.
Oxiracetam may prevent benzodiazepine induced amnesia, but the lone study assessing this was not enough to confirm whether this property does or does not exist
Oxiracetam does not appear to modify serotonin release from activated neurons at 0.01-1µM[11] nor does an impairment of serotonergic signalling impair the anti-amnesiac effects of oxiracetam against scopolamine.[26]
No significant interactions with serotonin are known to occur with oxiracetam
The organotin neurotoxin trimethyltin which impairs memory formation[59][60] for up to four years[61] associated with excessive neuronal death in the hippocampus (and other brain regions to a lesser degree)[62][63] has its toxicity alleviated be pre-treatment, but not post-treatment, of 3-30mg/kg oxiracetam over seven days as assessed by social recognition tests (histology not examined).[64]
At least one study has noted that oxiracetam incubated with astrocytes over a period of two weeks has resulted in an increase in ATP concentration of the cells.[65]
Coingestion of amphetamine with oxiracetam in mice does not suggest an interaction in regards to locomotion (increased per se with amphetamine but not oxiracetam, with the combination not outperforming amphetamines in isolation) yet appeared to be additive or synergistic in regards to avoidance acquisition (learning).[30] This synergism was also noted with amphetamine with Piracetam and has been replicated elsewhere.[66][30]
Appears to work well with amphetamine compounds in regards to improving cognition and does not affect locomotion, but whether this is an additive effect or synergistic and the mechanisms mediating this require further testing
Nicotine is a cholinergic agonist, and oxiracetam (50mg/kg) paired with nicotine (0.25-1mg/kg) in mice appears to increase the nicotine-induced improvement in step-down latencies (passive avoidance) by 34-74% without significantly modifying locomotion.[67]
On the parameter that oxiracetam seems to reliably improve (avoidance learning), nicotine appears to be additive and/or synergistic with oxiracetam
Phygostigmine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor able to independently improve memory formation, but in combination with oxiracetam does not display any apparent additive properties in mice.[68]
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are surprisingly not synergistic with oxiracetam, despite increasing acetylcholine concentrations
When looking at human intervention studies, oral supplementation of up to 1,600mg oxiracetam daily in persons with cognitive decline does not have any significant side-effects when compared to placebo.
One study conducted in pregnant mice given 50mg/kg has failed to find teratogenic effects of supplementation when assessing the youth, instead finding an improved performance on a radial maze test (choice accuracy) and grooming behaviour when compared to control.[69]
Limited evidence in pregnant subjects, but the animal research suggests it may even be beneficial

Search Engine Code of Conduct Being Developed
Now this makes me smile a bit, especially after criticizing businesses for their lack of social responsibility.
Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft plus a bunch of non-government organizations are looking into the development of a Code of Conduct for search engines.
The parties involved said that they would develop a framework that would hold signatories accountable for their actions in the areas of freedom of expression and privacy right
This is great news indeed after the criticism made to search engines in curbing freedom of speech and seeming intrusions to privacy in collaboration with certain governments. A prime example of this is the Yahoo subsidiary that collaborated with the Chinese government in identifying political activists through online information. There was even this buzz a while ago if ever pre-crime a la Minority Report will ever flourish. Google apparently keeps track of search query and IP address information which can be disclosed to courts of law when needed.
It's about time that web users could hold these web giants accountable against a code of conduct. Besides, we've been making them rich for so long and living in paranoia that they might sell us out anytime.
Thumbs up for this news!

Frank Fairfield
2530 NE 82nd Ave.
[FOLKSY EXHUMATION] More important than his auld-tyme manner of dress or that Jack White's Third Man Records released his latest single, Los Angeles-based Frank Fairfield seeks to exhume lost American music and retrofit otherwise seemingly exhausted styles. Whether he's fiddling or playing guitar, Fairfield lights upon a pulsing vein of rustic, rural composition most folks think only exist in Coen Brothers movies. The B-side of his most recent effort, "Devils Dream Medley," finds Fairfield fiddling through soldered-together sections of a composition that's pretty old—old enough that there's no real way to pinpoint its origin. Whether it sounds "authentic" is secondary: Fairfield's doing significant cultivation, and manages to make it entertaining.

ATTLEBORO, MA - Karen A. Ware, 52 of Green Drive, Attleboro died on Wednesday at Rhode Island Hospital. She was the wife of Michael T. Ware. Born in Pawtucket, she was a daughter of Claire (Carney) Carr and of the late John M. Carr, Jr.
Mrs. Ware was employed in the Grievance and Appeals division of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of RI for twenty years. She was an avid Patriots and Red Sox fan.
Besides her husband and mother, she is survived by one son, Bryan M. Ware of Attleboro and one brother, John M. Carr of Lincoln and several nieces and nephews.
WARWICK ŌĆö As St. Raphael Academy found out on Saturday night, Kris Dunn is not an easy cover.
The New London (Ct.) High senior and Providence College-bound product put on quite the show at a jam-packed CCRI-Warwick field house, tossing in a game-high 32 points in his teamŌĆÖs 66-55 win over the Saints. DunnŌĆÖs ability to penetrate proved to be too much for SRA to handle despite the myriad of different looks that veteran head coach Tom ŌĆ£SaarŌĆØ Sorrentine attempted to throw at the multi-talented point guard.
SANFORD, Me. ŌĆö Cumberland took home two individual champions and a fourth-place team finish from the highly competitive Redskins Invitational tournament on Saturday.
Erik Travers was named Outstanding Wrestler in the event after pinning all four of his opponents en route to the 145-pound championship.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö It was standing room only as a large gathering of Cumberland police officers, as well as their families, crowded the Town Council's chambers Wednesday to witness the swearing-in of Cumberland's two newest police recruits.
Officers Josh Vaughn and Gregory J. Pomfret were officially sworn in at a 20-minute ceremony presided over by Police Chief John R. Desmarais. Mayor Daniel J. McKee swore-in the two officers.
In his remarks, McKee said the town is proud to have two officers with local roots serving in the Cumberland Police Department, a nationally accredited police department.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Call Tony Cerbo the very definition of enigma.
As a painfully shy teen, he abhorred being in the limelight and wasn't attracted to music, especially singing.
Nowadays, he revels in belting out tunes made famous by Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble before sizable crowds at restaurants, clubs, weddings and receptions throughout southeastern New England.
In fact, back on Dec. 15, this self-described ŌĆ£self-made croonerŌĆØ starred in his fourth annual ŌĆ£Home for Christmas Dinner ShowŌĆØ at the B. Pinelli's Restaurant ballroom in East Providence, and claimed he had ŌĆ£a blastŌĆØ doing it.
LINCOLN ŌĆō As always, Ron Truppa came home from Los Angeles a few days before Christmas to spend the holidays with his parents, Ron Sr. and Lori, and other family members.
This time, though, the 36-year-old Lincoln native and Hollywood film writer, producer and director returned to his old Bridle Drive abode with some thrilling news.
PAWTUCKET --- Mount Hope, thanks to a pair of second-period goals by Nick Salzano, leapfrogged over Tolman and into second place in the Division III standings on Friday night by posting a 4-2 victory at Lynch Arena.
The Tigers, who only dressed 11 players, two of them goaltenders, fell to 5-3. The Huskies are 6-1 and trail the unbeaten Johnston/North Providence co-op team in the standings.
Jared Pedro and Kevin Tracey scored goals for the Tigers, both assisted by Kody Casavant. The Tigers were tied at 1-1 with the Huskies at the end of a period of play, but trailed 3-2 after two periods.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō ThereŌĆÖs a reason why Jordy Brito is the undisputed leader of Shea High. The senior is cool under pressure. More importantly, the fast-as-lightning guard is not one to run for cover with the game on the line.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö A fire in a multi-family apartment house at 111 Randall St. on Friday injured four Pawtucket firefighters and left 15 people homeless.
According to Fire Chief William Sisson, the blaze was reported around 11:30 a.m. in the large, three-story woodframe house. It began in the attic and quickly burned through the roof, causing extensive damage to the entire house, he said.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō John Harwood, the attorney for the Lincoln police officer accused of kicking a seated, handcuffed woman in the head outside the Twin River casino on May 31, 2009, indicated in Superior Court on Friday he wanted to enlist the expertise of Dr. Frank Gallo as part of his client's defense.
Gallo, renowned statewide for his expertise on ŌĆ£use of force,ŌĆØ is an instructor for various law enforcement agencies around the region.
Bill OŌĆÖBrien could be walking into a no-win situation as the next head football coach at Penn State. While the current PatriotsŌĆÖ offensive coordinator may seem like a solid choice on the surface, the news of his selection hit hard with Penn State alumni on Friday.
Former Penn State linebacker LaVar Arrington represented the thoughts of many ex-players upon hearing the news that an ŌĆ£outsiderŌĆØ would be the next head coach.
Raymond A. Allard
James E. Halliday
PAWTUCKET - James "Bud" E. Halliday, Jr., 89, passed away Friday, January 6, 2012. He was the beloved husband of Pauline R. (Lussier) Halliday, they were married for sixty-four years. Born in Providence, a son of the late James E. and Ruth (Gray) Halliday, he resided in Pawtucket since 1947.
Annette M. Fecteau

GORHAM, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The Souther Maine baseball team has qualified for seven Division III College World Series. Head Coach Ed Flaherty has guided the Huskies to every one of them.
The architect of USM baseball has instilled belief in his ball club throughout the year: whether it was their 19-game winning streak in the middle of the season or surviving three elimination games in their NCAA Northeast Regional.
His philosophy has been typical coach speak: one pitch, one inning, one game, one opponent at a time. It's something that his players usualy adhere to and when they waver, the 28th year head coach reiterates his message. A school record 42 wins and being one of the last eight teams left left in the country is proof that mantra works.
They'll open their 2013 College World Series in Appleton, Wisconsin against Millsaps College (MS) Friday morning at 11 a.m. eastern time.

Mill City Farmers Market Opens For The Season In Minneapolis
CBS Minnesota (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSMinnesota.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSMinnesota.com/Health
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Saturday was an ideal day to head over to the farmers market.
The Mill City Farmers Market, located on the Chicago Mall between the Guthrie Theater and Mill City Museum, opened up for the season.
"We are all local, sustainable or organic," said Brenda Langton, the founder of the Mill City Farmers Market. "And [the foods] are more nutritious and they are fresher than you could get on most grocery shelves."
Langton she said because of the early spring, the market has "tons" of produce — lettuce, mushrooms and, even, arugula.
"It is a premium product," she said.
Besides fresh fruits and veggies, Mill City also honored mothers on Mother's Day weekend. Children planted flowers to give to their moms.
Organizers said the whole idea behind the market is to promote Minnesota farmers and healthy eating.

Loneliness and social isolation are not the same thing, however both are closely related and can have a severe impact on people's quality of life in older age.
Like poverty and deprivation, loneliness and social isolation in rural areas can be masked due to the disparity in the financial and social positions of different rural households.

Village Agents is a scheme that aims to empower older people in rural areas of South Lakeland to live independent lives and play a full part in their local communities.
Village Agents are volunteers who provide older people with a friendly first point of contact within the market towns, villages and hamlets of South Lakeland. They know the ins and outs of their neighbourhood, and are well known themselves in their communities.
Village Agents provide information, advice and support, and help to develop new community initiatives based on local need. They are supported by village action groups, including volunteers at Age UK South Lakeland.
Village Agents also work with community-based groups and organisations promoting sustainability and development. Last year the team worked with 1,668 older people from across 12 rural areas.

With a typically American love of exaggeration, any multilayered cake might be dubbed "mile-high." But watch the expressions when this towering cake is presented, and the name will seem perfectly fitting. Rich and crumbly on the inside and covered with dense frosting, it's a chocolate lover's delight.
- For Cake:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk
- For Frosting:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 15 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Butter three 9-inch cake pans.
FOR CAKE: In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Set aside. In the top pan of a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over (not touching) simmering water in a pan, melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add the cooled chocolate and the vanilla and mix until blended. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Tap them on a countertop to rid the batter of any air pockets. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then invert the cakes onto the racks to cool completely.
FOR FROSTING: In a heavy saucepan over high heat, bring the cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, butter and vanilla, stirring constantly until both the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Place the pan in the refrigerator and stir every 15 minutes. The frosting will begin to set after about 50 minutes and will be quite thick. Check every 5 minutes near this point for a spreadable consistency. (If the frosting becomes too thick, let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until it softens to a spreadable consistency.)
TO ASSEMBLE: Place 1 cake layer, flat side up, on a 12-inch cake plate. Spread the top with 1/4 of the frosting. Place the second cake layer, flat side up, on top of the first, and flatten gently with your hand. Spread the top of the second layer with 1/3 of the remaining frosting. Place the third layer, flat side up, on top and again flatten gently. Frost the top and sides of the cake quickly, using all of the remaining frosting. Using a flat-edged knife or icing spatula, make quick movements to create swirls on the top and sides of the cake. Let stand for about 1 hour to set the frosting, then serve at room temperature.

N.C. Innovations is designed to provide an array of community-based services and supports to promote choice, control, and community membership. These services provide a community-based alternative to institutional care for persons who require an ICF-IID level of care and meet additional eligibility criteria for this waiver.
N.C. Innovations seeks to support waiver participants be fully functioning members of their community by:
The final draft NC Innovations Waiver amendment is ready for submission to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please send those to DMA via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or via voicemail by calling 919-855-4968.
North Carolina supports serving individuals with disabilities in the most integrated settings possible, based on what is clinically appropriate as defined by the individual's person-centered planning process.
We believe that individuals with disabilities should have the opportunity to live in community settings that reflect community values and standards.
Through engaging beneficiary and provider stakeholders, we will create a plan that supports individuals through a person-centered process, builds upon our already existing system and supports providers to ensure compliance with rules. More information detailing North Carolina's vision of Home and Community Based Services can be found at www.ncdhhs.gov/hcbs/.

Doodle Meeting Organizer
Two weeks ago at the Web 2.0 Expo here in San Francisco I ran into Michael Näf, CEO of Doodle.com, one of the leading companies in the thriving Swiss start-up scene.
I caught up with Michael this week for a closer look at the Doodle meeting organizer, and it took me about 2 seconds to see the light; there's huge value here.
In short, the Doodle.com meeting organizer makes it easy to find a date and time for a group event by using a poll-based scheduling system. It's not a calendar. Want to schedule a Sales and Marketing meeting between 15 people, including some employees in the field? You can either do it the old fashioned way and send out an Outlook invite – and receive several "Decline to attend" responses – or you can set up a poll in Doodle to see what time works best for everyone, and then lock it in place.
Doodle is a relatively new player in the U.S. market, but in Switzerland 1 in 10 people use Doodle.com to schedule their meetings and events. Now that's market penetration. They've recently hit 3 million monthly users, a 167% increase over 2008, and offer the service in 28 languages.
Without further adieu…
The Top 5 Reasons You Need to Use the Doodle.com Meeting Organizer for Scheduling Meetings and Events
1. Doodle takes the pain out of scheduling events by replacing the human coordinator with a simple web application. No registration is required for organizers or attendees, unless you want to (you get access to a central dashboard.) They just click on the meeting link, select the time(s) they can attend, and the organizer sees a poll that clearly shows the most convenient time for everyone to meet.
2. It's free! You can access all of Doodle's functionality and co-brand your Doodle site with your logo without paying a dime, or you can upgrade to Branded Doodle, a white-label version, to replace the ad zones with your own images and encrypt your polls. (Flat monthly fee [$22 USD], no volume charges)
3. It has a clean, simple, intuitive interface. Schedule a meeting in 3 steps in then email the link to attendees. That's it. When it's time for the organizer to tally the responses, Green boxes = someone can attend at that hour, Red = they can't attend at that hour. A tally appears at the bottom of each date and time, and Doodle suggests the best time to meet. My six year old nephew could schedule a meeting using Doodle.
4. Doodle integrates with Outlook, iGoogle, Facebook, Google Calendar, iCal, Sunbird… There's a plug-in for Outlook, an application for Facebook, and an ICS Calendar Feed that syncs your Doodle meetings across Google Calendar, iCal, and Sunbird.
5. You'll find you can actually coordinate a meeting between countless people with disparate schedules, and they'll love you for it. With Outlook, it's actually kind of patronizing to just schedule a meeting at the time that's best for you. Yes, in Outlook you can see when other people have meeting scheduled, but that doesn't take into account events or tasks they haven't put into their calendar. Doodle gives you a different psychological experience to meeting planning by letting you participate in the scheduling process.
How to Schedule a Doodle Meeting:
1. Choose a meeting title and description (optional.)
2. Add a couple of dates on which you'd like to hold the meeting.
3. Add a couple of possible meeting times for each date you selected in Step 2. That's it. Poll created.
4. You'll then receive 2 emails, one containing a link to send out to meeting invitees, and another admin link you can use to administer the event (pick a final time, invite more attendees, close the poll, delete an entry, etc.)
5. Attendees then access the site – no sign-in required – check a box for each time-period they can attend, and Doodle tallies up the responses.
6. At any time, the organizer can access the admin page, close the poll, and select a final time.

Advancements on previous games
Unrealistic aspects, missing skating
With smooth graphics, and excellent game play, this game starts off with a 5 star from me. But the unrealistic aspects, for example, two seperate kick flips then a varial flip on a quater pipe, makes me want to remove a star. But unrealistic skating has been an aspect of Tony Hawks Pro Skater since the original, so its to be expected I guess, so half a star off. Next is the Legend, and by my personal opinion more of a Legend than Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen. In a number of his videos, he sits on the spot pulling off tricks. In the college stage, there is a perfect little round roof for this sort of thing, the down side is, the skater wont stay still, you try to get him into primo stance, and he starts sliding, even from a stand still, or a spriong and he starts moving. For some many titles out, you would think Rodney Mullens style would've been taken into account. A whole star removed, for this skating legends sake.http://www.geocities.com/shaytanicreviews

"Good game but not something I would buy for my computer"
Version: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 demo
Excellent fun. Easy to learn controls.
Hard to balance grinds on the pc due to the fact that when you press an arrow key the balance meter jumps to that side. However in the Playstation version pressure controls in the joysticks make it a lot easier to balance.
You will get all you need to have fun in the demo. Don't buy this game unless you just have to finish the storyline,need to use other characters, or want a version for your Paystation.

My six-year-old son follows me into the cool room; last bits of sunlight cascade onto the brown couch where we sit down. Looking down at my son I search for the right words to speak to him.
I quietly pray, "God, help me not lose my temper. Help me talk to him gracefully and not become angry."
There is a fine line with my son when speaking to him.
Through many failures of my own, I have sharpened the tipping point. If I am too harsh and yell when he screws up, his heart shuts down towards me, rendering me useless in getting through to him.
I had just found out that he had done something quite harmful; sinful.
My wife called me at work to let me know what had happened, asking me to talk to him when I arrived home.
Anger, frustration and uncertainty clouded my mind through the remaining hours of the day. I was uncertain about how I should handle the situation.
Should there be discipline?
If I go soft on him, will he not take me seriously?
Doubts of my own ability to handle the situation creep in.
Sitting on the couch with my son, looking at him, his body language telling me he doesn't want to be there. Fearfully he sits, quietly, intently waiting for me to explode.
Processing through my mind I realize (insert God telling me because I am utterly helpless in this area) that if I come down hard on him, yell or be insanely firm, he will throw walls up and I will lose his heart.
His heart.
Often I have bought into the lie that if I am soft on him, he will grow up to be wild and out of control. I have allowed my fears of my son not being an honorable, upright, truthful follower of Christ, to guide my fathering of him.
I have been parenting most times out of fear.
Because of my fear, the very thing I am fearful that my son will become, I have parented out of. I end up fathering him dishonorably and untruthfully. Through being quick to anger, ruling his heart with an iron fist at times, and not extending much grace to him when needed, I am the one who is then repelling him to the very things that I fear most he'll be.
I turn to my son sitting on the couch and by the grace of God, softs words come out towards him. I see him ease into me. Because I am being soft to him, he softens his own heart to me.
And we talk.
I listen.
And he hears me.
As time passes he inches close to me and embraces me.
Through the softness I had once feared would turn him from the Way, it has now steered him towards the Way.
I squeeze him tight.
I quietly thank God for His own graces with me and for this moment with my son. I thank Him for being soft with me, working with me patiently to see the errors of my ways so I can have restoration with my son.
You can find Jesse writing about his attempts (failures) at being a good father, husband and follower of Jesus. The good news is, Jesus is the redeemer. And that is what he clings to. There is no amount of failing or screwing up that He can't redeem. He writes on his own blog here.

Wednesday, February 13, 2013 8:00 AM–8:50 AM
The Upper Darby High School, with an enrollment of 3,600 students, implemented an RTI program 2 years ago after the successful implementation of RTI in Kindergarten thru grade 8 in 13 schools across the district. High School results in grade 9 for both reading and math achievement have shown better than predicted growth. In addition, the failure rate and retention rate of 9th grade students was dramatically decreased. The RTI implementation process, interventions used, test results in reading and math, as well as the positive impact this program has had on teachers and students will be discussed. Implementation now is taking place at grade 10 with positive results. This session is sponsored by the Convention Committee.
