4 charged in St. Thomas jewelry store robbery face federal charges
Published: April 5, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - Four of the six men accused of robbing a jewelry store on March 22 now are facing federal charges.
Shaquim Fredericks, 19; Warkim J. Gabriel, 18; Chefton Newton, 25; and Alvin Thomas, 18, appeared in District Court on Friday morning before Magistrate Judge Ruth Miller.
In addition to facing local charges of first-degree robbery; unauthorized possession of a firearm; aiding and abetting; possession of stolen property; first-degree assault; and unlawful discharge of a firearm, the co-defendants now are accused of violating the Hobbs Act, which is a federal crime.
The Hobbs Act involves the delay or obstruction of commerce or the movement of a commodity by robbery and typically is applied to bank robberies.
Bail previously was set in the amount of $100,000 for each of defendants, though Miller said that the court would re-address bail in a later hearing.
The defendants were remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
It is unclear whether two other defendants in the case, both age 17, also will be charged with the new federal count.
V.I. Police have not reported finding a seventh gunman believed to be involved in the incident.
All six defendants were arrested shortly after the robbery occurred during the morning of March 22.
V.I. Police received a call just before 9:50 a.m. reporting that more than five gunmen had stormed into Imperial Jewelry Store on Main Street on St. Thomas and robbed the business of an undetermined amount of gold and other jewelry, according to V.I. Police spokeswoman Melody Rames.
As the gunmen left the area on foot, Rames said they were pursued by police who were already on routine patrol in the area because there was a cruise ship in port.
The men fled up an alley, running toward Catherineberg and into a bushy area of Fire Burn Hill, where they were quickly surrounded by officers, Rames said. At least one of the suspects fired at least one shot at officers, she said.
Police recovered several firearms and a bag of jewelry in the area where the men were captured.
Anyone with additional information about the robbery or any other persons involved can call 911 or the confidential tip line at Crime Stopper USVI at 1-800-222-8477.

Over 250,000 children, in 2,500 schools are
learning to read and spell with Get Reading Right.
Your child learns a group of sounds and matches the sound with a letter.
Your child learns to blend (or glue) these sounds together to read unknown words.
Irregular, high frequency words, or camera/sight words, such as 'the' and 'was' are tricky to read but are essential because they occur so often in children's books and writing.
Next, your child learns to spell these irregular, high frequency words so they can move onto writing sentences.
Incredible stepwise program. Phonemic awareness to Phonics, to reading and spelling. Perfect for all ages, fun, engaging and different for each level!
This is a real gem for kids learning to read, they thought they are just playing games but actually learnt a lot of Phonics skill to read and spell. Highly recommended!
My 7 year old son spelt the words "smash", "brush" and "shampoo" on his own today. Three months ago, he couldn't spell "hut" or "cat" he is sounding things out beautifully. I am eternally grateful to Phonics Hero.
My youngest daughter had been diagnosed with learning difficulty. I went on a mission to find a good phonics program that would help her catch up on what she had missed. She loves the program and uses it at home regularly, finally hearing the sounds correctly. Her teacher at school is also very impressed. Thank you for a terrific program.
As a homeschooling parent, I now feel confident to develop my children's literacy using Phonics Hero. We feel focused, on-track and secure with this program.

24-year-old Johnny Ray Puckett pleaded guilty to causing the injuries that led to the death of 63-year-old Carter County Constable Elmer Kiser.
This afternoon, a judge sentenced Puckett to ten years on the manslaughter charge and five years on various drug charges. Puckett was originally charged with murder, but last month he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Kiser stopped Puckett on suspicion of drunk driving in September, 2006. Investigators say Kiser was killed by blunt force trauma to the middle of the head. Kiser slipped into a coma and died a week later.
Today, the judge said Puckett must serve 85% of his sentence before he is eligible for parole.

SANTEE, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say three people were killed when a home-built airplane crashed in a San Diego County nature preserve.
Sheriff's Lt. Scott Amos says the single-engine plane went down Saturday morning within Sycamore Canyon Open Space Preserve near Santee. Amos says there were three people on board and all were killed.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the four-seat Lancair IV-P had departed from San Diego's Montgomery Field en route to Deer Valley Airport in Phoenix. The FAA withheld the aircraft's tail number until next of kin have been notified.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
The Lancair web site says the 25-foot IV-P is one of a series of aircraft kits that are no longer in production.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A poker player who left a bag with $300,000 in the back seat of a Las Vegas taxi has given $10,000 to the honest cabbie who returned the money.
Yellow Checker Star Cab Company CEO Bill Shranko said Friday the gambler made good on his promise to reward driver Gerardo Gamboa.
The cab company named Gamboa employee of the year, awarded him another $1,000 and gave him a gift certificate to a Las Vegas steakhouse.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Gamboa was making a pickup Monday at the Bellagio when a hotel doorman noticed the brown paper bag.
Gamboa found bundles of $100 bills inside.
The driver turned the money in to the cab company, and police linked it to the gambler, who they have not publicly identified.

The worst possible news: Death notification and body identification for law enforcement officers
By Dr. Laurence Miller
Q: Recently, we had a multiple-casualty incident involving a traffic pile-up due to a drunk driver, in which four civilians and one officer were killed. Many of the deceased were badly burned and a number of their relatives had to be located, as some of the victims were from out of town. A few of us were given the job of notifying the relatives, including the officer's family, and of accompanying two families to the morgue to make an identification. We really weren't sure how to handle this and I'm afraid it didn't go very well. Is there any way to make this horrible situation any easier?
A: No way something like this is ever going to be easy, but there are ways of making it easier on both the victims and the notifiers. The following recommendations apply generally to dealing with surviving family members of both deceased civilians and fellow officers who have died in the line of duty.
Surprisingly, a frequently neglected topic in law enforcement training curriculums is how to properly notify family members that a loved one has been killed or that the body of a missing relative has been located and identified. Though not ordinarily a routine police patrol function, officers in homicide investigation and other special units may be called upon to make such notifications as part of their duties. In other jurisdictions, special departmental crisis outreach officers make the call, or it is something undertaken by supervisors or administrative staff. In the case of law enforcement line-of-duty deaths, there may be established protocols for handling such calls.

American Legion Post 278 donates $10,000 to Chesapeake College Fitness Center Campaign
Tradition of charitable giving continues
WYE MILLS Kent Island American Legion Post 278's tradition of charitable giving to Chesapeake College continued with last Wednesday night's $10,000 donation to the Stuart M. Bounds Fitness Center Fundraising Campaign.
"We actually started our involvement with Chesapeake College about 1980, when we donated our first $10,000 to start the Wrightson Tolson Scholarship," said Hugo Gemignani, chair of Post 278's Charity Committee. "I think that fund now has two or three hundred thousand dollars in it. Chesapeake College is one of the primary recipients of our charitable donations."
Dr. Barbara Viniar, Chesapeake College's president, accepted Post 278's check on behalf of the college.
"I appreciate this very generous contribution and Post 278's long-term commitment to both the college and the community," said Dr. Viniar. "This organization is an outstanding community partner."
In addition to the Wrightson Tolson Scholarship annually awarded to Chesapeake College students from Queen Anne's County Post 278 established the Robert E. McCauley Scholarship in 2003 to provide scholarships to Chesapeake College student athletes. The Legion has also financially supported other Athletic Department activities, including the baseball team's trip to the 2005 NJCAA Division II World Series as the Northeast District champion.
Gemignani said the fitness center donation follows in that same pattern.
"This fitness center will be great," said Gemignani, who noted the importance of its availability for students, faculty, and staff, along with community members who will be eligible to use the facilities when they are registered for a continuing education fitness course. "We're hoping some of our servicemen and women coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan will make use of the new center."
Chesapeake College Athletic Director Frank Szymanski said Post 278 "has been one of our most consistent and loyal financial supporters during my nine years at the college."
"There are many athletic initiatives that would have been harder to undertake without Post 278's backing," said Szymanski, noting the Post's donation to cover expenses associated with the 2005 World Series as one recent example.
The college has already raised over $50,000 in contributions toward the nearly $90,000 in equipment that has been ordered for the new center. The new center is part of a major renovation of the inner core of the Physical Education Building, which is over 30 years old.
The Julia T. Burleigh Philanthropic Fund donated $25,000 as the lead donor, giving the Fund naming rights for the Center. The Burleigh Fund, represented by Director Jim Barton, directed that the center be named for Dr. Stuart M. Bounds, who retired in June after 11 years as the college's fourth president.
Individuals or organizations interested in contributing to the Chesapeake College Fitness Center Fundraising Campaign may contact Campaign Chair Rich Midcap (email@example.com or 410-827-5858).
American Legion Post 278 recently donated $10,000 to help equip Chesapeake College's new fitness center.

Cornell's $350 Million Donor Feeney Plans to Give It All Away
Donating a record $350 million to Cornell University last week moved Charles Feeney closer to a life goal: giving away all of his fortune while still alive.
Feeney, 80, plans to shut by 2020 Atlantic Philanthropies, the foundation he began bankrolling in 1984 by gifting his businesses, including shares of the Duty Free Shoppers Group chain he co-founded. The charity has about $2 billion in assets and has donated more than $5.5 billion for health programs, universities and causes worldwide, according to its website.
Cornell has been among the biggest beneficiaries, receiving almost $1 billion, including the gift announced Dec. 16 that will help pay for an engineering campus in New York City. Feeney graduated from Cornell's school of hotel administration in 1956 and has helped pay for buildings, scholarships and research at the main campus in Ithaca, New York, for decades, said Ron Ehrenberg, an economist and former university vice president.
"Cornell has just been very, very fortunate to have him," said Ehrenberg, who received $1.5 million from Feeney to support his work. "It is hard to envision the university without him."
Feeney in February joined the Giving Pledge group that originated with Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and investor Warren Buffett. The campaign includes about 70 members who have agreed to donate more than half their wealth.
"I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living," Feeney said in a letter to Gates and Buffett making his pledge.
Grant Making
Atlantic Philanthropies concentrates its grant-making on aging; children; population health; and reconciliation and human rights. It gave away $285 million in 2010, and $375 million the previous year, according to recent financial statements.
Feeney typically doesn't seek public credit for his donations and his name isn't on any Cornell buildings, Ehrenberg said. Most of his Cornell gifts are to projects recommended by the university's president and provost, he said.
The $350 million gift was critical to Cornell winning New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's contest to lure an engineering school to the city, said Peter Meinig, chairman of Cornell's board of trustees. The mayor -- founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, parent of Bloomberg News -- solicited bids in July for a competition that would offer use of city land on Roosevelt Island, in the East River, and $100 million for infrastructure improvements to build a science and engineering campus.
Major Project
"You're talking about a major, major project," Meinig said. "All universities today are operating under significant financial constraints. The fact that Chuck Feeney and Atlantic Philanthropies were willing to commit $350 million to this project gave us the ability to be very aggressive in the competition."
Atlantic Philanthropies said in an e-mail that Feeney wasn't available for an interview.
Cornell, partnering with Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, beat out six competing bids from schools including Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University. Stanford pulled out of the contest Dec. 16, hours before Cornell announced Feeney's gift as an anonymous donation. Feeney was revealed to be the donor Dec. 19.
Cornell plans to begin classes next year in leased space until the Roosevelt Island campus is completed. Cornell said it will move by 2017 and finish construction of more than 1.3 million square feet by 2027. By 2043, the campus will have 2,500 students and 280 faculty members, according to the university and the mayor's office.
$1.5 Billion Construction
The project will cost about $1.5 billion, Cornell President David Skorton said at a Dec. 19 press conference. The university doesn't plan on borrowing to finance the project and instead will rely on tuition and philanthropy, technology license fees and corporate partnerships, he said.
Feeney, the son of a nurse and insurance underwriter, grew up in a neighborhood on the western edge of Elizabeth, New Jersey, according to a 2007 biography written by Conor O'Clery, "The Billionaire Who Wasn't: How Chuck Feeney Secretly Made and Gave Away a Fortune." He knew how to squeeze money out of work, and as a teenage golf caddy, sought out nine-hole players who paid the same tip of 25 cents as those using the full 18-hole course, according to the book.
Feeney owns neither a house nor a car, and takes a salary from the foundation that "covers his needs," O'Clery said in a telephone interview. Feeney recently stopped flying coach, switching to business class after his charity's board insisted because of health concerns, O'Clery said.
"He's still shopping for the cheapest tickets, you can be sure of that," O'Clery said.
Net Worth
While Forbes magazine in 1988 listed Feeney as the 23rd richest person in the world with assets of about $1.3 billion, the ranking was wrong, O'Clery said. Feeney had already signed over businesses to his philanthropy at a secret meeting in the Bahamas in 1984, according to O'Clery. The assets included spas in Thailand, retail stores in Hawaii and France, and property in the U.K.
Profit from those businesses added as much as $300 million annually to the foundation's endowment, O'Clery said. In 1997, the foundation received about $1.6 billion after Feeney's share of Duty Free Shoppers Group was sold, he said.
Feeney decided to acknowledge his philanthropy to encourage other wealthy donors to do the same, O'Clery said.
"He wanted his model of giving while living to be out there for other people of great wealth to use as a template," the author said.


text: Hi Alasdair, this is a series of 13 patches, which move dm-{io,log}.h and kcopyd.h to include/linux, renaming the later to dm-kcopyd.h, to better allow for their interfaces to be sharable beyond the scope of Device-Mapper. Structure and function identifiers (e.g. io_region -> dm_io_region) get a "dm_", macros a "DM_" prefix respectively. Existing callers are adjusted to use the new structure/function/macro names. The Makefile now generates dm-{io,kcopyd,log} as kmods. This potentially needs a future change in case of a static kernel *and* more callers sharing the dm-{io,kcopyd,log} modules. dm_disk(), which belongs to our external interface since long time, is exported now to allow for future callers to actually be able to access it. If acceptable, please apply.

Yahoo planning DRM-free music store?
updated 03:45 pm EST, Thu January 24, 2008
Yahoo DRM-Free Leak
Yahoo is in talks to revamp its music store to remove copy protection, says a report from the Chinese news agency SINA. Two record label executives have allegedly confirmed that Yahoo is in preliminary negotiations to change its service from its current, Windows Media protected format to an unspecified, unguarded format that would be interchangeable between devices and players. Yahoo spokeswoman Carrie Davis has confirmed that the company has discussed shedding digital rights management (DRM) on its music with labels but has also denied any new escalation in talks.
However, the goal is to open a new version of Yahoo Music before the end of the year, SINA claims, though it does not say which labels are most likely to sign a deal or what terms if any have been negotiated so far.
A de-restricted Yahoo service would provide only the third major music service to offer all its music exclusively in an unprotected format after Amazon MP3 and eMusic, increasing competition in the field. Stores such as Apple's iTunes, Microsoft's Zune Marketplace, and Wal-Mart currently offer only some of their catalogs without DRM.

From: Steve Cherniske, M.S.
RE: Pre-Launch audio tape by Joel Wallach for New Visions.
I've received calls from CEO's of various network marketing companies complaining that my reviews "make the industry look bad." "No," I reply, "it is the hype-ridden baloney that many network marketing companies are foisting upon the public that threatens this industry." Then they advise me to paddle my own canoe" instead of trying to sink others, and I explain that I'm not out to sink anyone. It's just that nutrition is a science, and it steams me to see the science I love perverted into a circus side show.
Someone has to blow the whistle sometime. Otherwise the industry will collapse from the weight of unfounded, insupportable gobbledygook that spews constantly from fax machines all over the world.
Sorry. I just thought it best to explain myself before giving you more evaluations. Let's look at a few tapes that have come across my desk (and no doubt yours) this week: "Dead Doctors Don't Lie," by Joel Wallach, DVM, ND.
Background: It's becoming common for emerging network marketing companies to send out audio tapes in advance of their launch to generate excitement and visibility.
The tape by Dr. Wallach is very effective because it is extremely controversial. The title, "Dead Doctors Don't Lie," gives you an idea. And Wallach is a very compelling speaker. His Midwest accent and down-home manner comes across as believable and straightforward. He is a veterinarian (DVM) by training and a Naturopath (ND.)
And now the news:
As I listened to the tape, I became more and more annoyed by the doctor bashing. Keep in mind that I have no love affair with the AMA, but I have worked very closely with many physicians over the years and took offense at Wallach's cynical generalizations and unfair exaggerations. This was especially bothersome because of the one-sided format. Taking pot-shots at an adversary when he (or she) has no opportunity to respond is unprofessional to say the least. So I see this review as an effort to "keep everyone honest."
Let me begin by saying that I agree with Joel Wallach's basic position, that nutritional supplements are an effective and reliable way to improve ones health. I also think that it is best to minimize one's intake of drugs and reliance upon hospitals and surgery. But I believe that Wallach goes off the deep end in condemning the entire medical profession, and I think that much of his information is DEAD WRONG.
Imagine you just purchased a brand new car, and as the salesman shakes your hand he informs you that roughly 50% of the information in the owners manual is incorrect. How would you feel? First of all, it would be impossible for you to take care of your new car because you wouldn't know what information was true and what was false. The manual, in other words, would be useless, and your investment would be in jeopardy.
I think tapes like "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" are like faulty owners manuals. The vehicle in this case is your body, which is far more valuable than any car, and when learning about it, you have to determine if the material is accurate. Following are my points of disagreement with Dr. Wallach. Judge for yourself.
1. He is listed on the tape as a "1991 Nobel Prize nominee for medicine." While that sounds impressive, you have to understand that anyone can nominate anyone for a Nobel prize. I would like to know what accomplishment he was nominated for and what level his nomination reached. After all, I have been nominated for President of the United States. [Wallach claims he was nominated for "his stunning discoveries in the prevention of cystic fibrosis." However, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is oddly unaware of his contribution. (the ed.)]
Impressed? I hope not.
2. Dr. Wallach claims to have performed over 3,000 autopsies on humans. When I called Bastyr University, the nations foremost Naturopath school, they informed me that ND's are not licensed or trained to perform human autopsies.
3. Dr. Wallach states that pica is a disorder in which a person craves sweets. In fact, it is a hunger for non-food substances such as soil or metal.
4. He states that the average lifespan of a doctor in America is 58 years. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, American physicians live an average of 69.7 years, less than the national average, but certainly more than Dr. Wallach would have us believe. [According to Goodman (1975) and the American Medical Association Center for Health Care Policy (1988), Over the last seventy years, M.D.s of both sexes have consistently enjoyed greater lifespans than the general public. The life expectancy of physicians is somewhere between 75 and 88 years, depending on the age and gender one chooses. See attached literature from the NCAHF. (the ed.)]
5. Dr. Wallach states that an anti-cancer diet has been discovered. But his data is derived from a Chinese study in which a large proportion of the participants were seriously malnourished. It is not reasonable to conclude that anyone who takes vitamins A, E and beta carotene will have the same reduction in cancer risk.
6. He states that 50% of 70 year old Americans have Alzheimer's disease. In fact, careful research shows that the incidence of Alzheimer's disease in Americans 65 to 74 years of age is approximately 3.9%. Reference: Evans D. et al. Estimated Prevalence of Alzheimers Disease in the United States. The Milbank Quarterly 1990; 68(2): 267-287.
7. He talks of preventing Alzheimer's disease in pigs with vitamin E and a low vegetable oil diet. In fact, pigs don't get Alzheimer's, and there is no evidence that this approach has any benefit for humans with this disease.
8. Dr. Wallach recommends the use of butter over olive oil for longevity when a virtual mountain of research supports the opposite view.
9. He states that gray hair at any age and face wrinkles are due to a copper deficiency. This is absurd and insupportable.
10. His claim that cardiomyopathy is a selenium deficiency is equally absurd, and illustrates a serious error in thinking. Cardiomyopathy is not a single disease, but a group of disorders that involve the heart muscle. (cardio = heart, myo = muscle, pathy = disease). Cardiomyopathy can result from a host of causes including genetic defects, nutritional deficiency, metabolic disease, infection, trauma and alcoholism. Yet Wallach lumps all cardiomyopathy into a single disease with a single cause, selenium deficiency. Even his examples are dead wrong. He goes on and on about Stewart Berger, a doctor who died of cardiomyopathy, yet Wallach knows nothing about this doctor. If he had bothered to do even a little research, he would have learned that Berger had a life-long weight problem (weighed over 300 when he died) and may also have abused drugs. Either of these factors can cause cardiomyopathy, but according to Wallach, Berger was simply deficient in the mineral selenium. In fact, Berger regularly took an enormous amount of nutritional supplements, including selenium.
11. He makes the same mistake when talking of aneurysms, the bulging of an artery. Although medical texts list some 40 different types of aneurysm, with a variety of causes including atherosclerosis, cancer, bacterial infection and hypertension, Wallach claims all aneurysms are caused by a copper deficiency.
12. He states that male pattern baldness is a tin deficiency. This is entirely incorrect. [Male pattern baldness is, in fact, a familial (inherited) condition influenced by androgen (testosterone) levels. (Merck 1987) (the ed.)]
13. He states that Bell's palsy is a calcium deficiency when in fact it is clearly a neurological disorder. Many individuals have suffered from Bell's palsy (interruption of a facial nerve resulting in partial paralysis of the face) after trauma or injury. Did these people all suddenly become calcium deficient? And if the disorder is a calcium deficiency, why is Bell's palsy so rare?
14. He states that sugar metabolism disorders (diabetes and hypoglycemia) are a vanadium deficiency when vanadium has not even been recognized as an essential nutrient for humans.
15. He states that arthritis is osteoporosis of the joint ends of the bones. This is incorrect.
16. He claims that sodium intake has nothing to do with high blood pressure, citing the fact that he used to put salt licks out for his cows and they never got high blood pressure. What incredible reasoning! Could it be that cows use the salt lick as needed, while humans routinely consume massive amounts of sodium for taste and as food additives?
In fact, the human body was designed for a high potassium, low sodium diet through 1.6 million years of hunting & gathering. Today's highly processed and refined diet supplies minimal potassium and enormous amounts of sodium, and we suffer as a result.
This is probably my major objection to this tape; the fact that important points like this are over-simplified and exaggerated. If Wallach actually did his homework, he would find that fully one-third of the studies evaluating calcium intake and hypertension actually show no consistent benefit. (REFERENCE: McCarron DA; Hatton D; Roullet JB; Roullet C. Dietary calcium, defective cellular Ca2+ handling, and arterial pressure control, Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1994 Aug, 72(8):937-44.) This may be due to the fact that calcium supplementation appears to work best for people whose previous intake of calcium was very low.
17. Wallach dismisses the importance of good oral hygiene in preventing periodontal disease (receding gums). Instead, he claims the problem is simply a calcium deficiency. While adequate calcium intake is certainly important for the maintenance of the bone that anchors the teeth (alveolar bone), the deterioration of this bone is a late stage in periodontal disease. The progression of periodontal disease is actually well understood. First there is the accumulation of bacterial plaque, masses of bacteria that are actually visible to your dentist. The infection then spreads to the periodontal ligament which attaches the tooth to the bone, and finally, the bone begins to deteriorate.
18. One of the most simplistic and nonsensical claims made on this tape is that people who live to be a hundred drink 40 cups of tea every day and put rock salt and two pats of butter in each cup. On the other hand, doctors (who Wallach claims only live to be 58) tell you to reduce salt and butter. Wallach then asks "Who are you going to believe?"
First of all, I would like to know where these tea, rock salt and butter consuming people are. I have traveled throughout Asia and have studied longevity at great length, and have never encountered such behavior. And even if there are people with such habits, certainly the vast majority of centenarians do not drink 40 cups of tea each day loaded with butter and rock salt. So I will ask you the same question..."Who are you going to believe?"
19. Then there's the hysterectomy issue. Wallach states that "The medical treatment of choice for PMS is a hysterectomy." This is utter nonsense. He also claims that doctors perform about 285,000 unnecessary hysterectomies each year in order to make their Mercedes payments. This borders on hate mongering, and once again is a gross exaggeration. The total number of hysterectomies performed in the US in 1993 was 560,000 and the vast majority of these were performed because of ovarian cancer or other disease.
Where does Wallach get his figures? Now there is no doubt that many hysterectomies are unnecessary, but a careful study utilizing second opinion data showed that only 8% of elective hysterectomies (eg. those performed because of ovarian cysts) were unconfirmed. REFERENCE: Finkel ML; Finkel DJ. The effect of a second opinion program on hysterectomy performance. Medical Care, 1990 Sep, 28(9):776-83.
If you take the approximate number of elective hysterectomies (124,000) and multiply by 8%, you get 9,920, not 285,000. Wallach further states that the AMA says that these (285,000) hysterectomies are unnecessary, but when I contacted the AMA regarding this, they had no idea what he was talking about. Of course, as you might have guessed, Wallach states that PMS is really just a calcium deficiency.
20. Wallach states that all low back pain, "whether you work on a computer, unload hay or drive big trucks" is due to osteoporosis. This is absurd, as most low back pain is caused by muscle or ligament strain.
21. Wallach states that he has seen diabetes cured in "hundreds and hundreds" of individuals simply by taking chromium and vanadium supplements. Again, it is well-known that these trace minerals are important in glucose metabolism. It's also true that the medical community in general underutilizes trace minerals in treating diabetes. But I know dozens of doctors who include trace minerals in their treatment plans, and not one of them would agree with Wallach. They, along with the entire health care community, would love to see his patient records to verify his claims.
22. Wallach's treatment of colloidal minerals is also filled with errors. While any organic chemist knows that soil-based compounds can be divided into metals and non-metals, he calls all of these "metallic minerals." He claims that these metallic minerals are only 8 to 12% absorbable, and after age 35 to 40, that drops to 3 to 5%. Where does he get these numbers? What happens at age 35 that reduces mineral absorption by 60%? Whenever I hear ridiculous numbers like this thrown around I challenge the speaker to provide documentation. No one ever has.
In reality, the absorption of minerals depends on an enormous number of variables, the most important of which is physiologic need. Someone who is deficient in calcium will absorb a great deal more of the mineral (in any form) than someone who is adequately nourished. Another variable is vitamin D status. Someone adequately nourished in vitamin D will absorb far more calcium (in any form) than someone deficient in vitamin D. Other variables include nutrient form (calcium citrate is absorbed much better than calcium phosphate) and meal composition (vitamin C helps the absorption of iron and zinc).
23. He tells a story of a man who owned a portable toilet company finding hundreds of intact vitamin tablets in his toilets. Wallach uses that story to prove that "you can't absorb metallic minerals." In fact, all that proves is that some vitamins are tableted improperly. To make the sweeping statement that all vitamin tablets are unabsorbed is like saying that because Yugos break down all the time, all automobiles are unreliable. In nutrition as in automobiles, there are the Yugos and there are Rolls Royces.
24. Wallach states: "If you read the labels on those multiples, they say your iron comes in the form of iron oxide. What is iron oxide? Rust!" While this point is dramatic, it is also patently false. In the last ten years, I have reviewed more than a thousand different multi-mineral formulations, and not one of them used iron oxide.
25. Wallach's calcium lactate story also contains multiple errors. He states that in a 1,000 mg tablet, 250 mg is calcium and the remaining 750 mg is lactose or milk sugar. In fact, calcium lactate is a compound of calcium and lactic acid, which is an organic acid found in apples, tomatoes and other fruit as well as beer and wine. He then states that you'll only absorb 10% of the calcium in such products, but that claim is unsupported.
26. His claim that colloidal minerals are 98% absorbable is probably the most important statement on the tape (since he is selling colloidal minerals) but I could find no documentation in the medical or agricultural literature to document that. As mentioned in # 22 above, the absorption of minerals depends upon a host of factors, only one of which is the form in which they are delivered.
I am not saying that colloidal minerals are not valuable. They are probably a very good mineral source, but in order to evaluate their worth to human health, we need more than just claims and audio tapes. Mineral absorption is verifiable through scientific experiment. I have such data on the mineral compounds that I use, and I would expect that Wallach or anyone making these claims should be able to do the same. As of this writing I have not seen a single study comparing the absorption of colloidal minerals vs. mineral salts or chelated minerals in humans. Hmmmm.
27. Wallach states that the human body stores, uses and transports minerals in their colloidal state. This is not true. Most minerals are stored as salts of calcium or phosphorus. Others are found in compounds with proteins or lipids, or simply components of enzymes and hormones. In found in their free ionic state. Magnesium, for example, is found in numerous body tissues, with only about 30% bound to any type of carrier molecule. REFERENCE: Shils ME. Physiological Chemistry of Magnesium. In: Present Knowledge in Nutrition. The Nutrition Foundation. Washington D.C. 1984. pp 422-438.
28. More colloidal confusion. Wallach notes that all of the long-lived cultures drink glacier water which contains ground up rocks in solution. But these are simply metallic minerals, the very compounds he previously stated were unabsorbable. I don't get it.
Then he says, "Are these colloidal minerals important? You bet your life they are." My question is, what colloidal minerals is he referring to?

National Council Against Health Fraud position paper on Joel Wallach:
Maverick veterinarian Joel Wallach is selling video and audio tapes titled Dead Doctors Don't Lie! proclaiming that physicians have a life expectancy of only 58 years. This sends the message that doctors are so wrongheaded that they themselves live significantly shorter lives than the general population. It is not clear where Wallach gets his data, but it is a lie. Physicians have long had life expectancies that are longer than the general population. Goodman1 reviewed reports on physician life expectancies in 1925, 1938-42, 1949-51, and 1971. His study covered the 1971 population of 344,823 physicians, and the deaths of 19,086 from 1969 through 1973. He found that both male and female physicians had greater life expectancy than the general population. The American Medical Association's Center For Health Care Policy published data on the life expectancies of U.S. medical graduate physicians by specialty in 1988.2 It showed that the life expectancies of physicians is somewhere between 75 and 88, depending upon the age and gender that one chooses.
Wallach also claims to have been nominated for a Nobel Prize in 1991. According to the Nobel Committee, this would be impossible for him to know because the names of nominees areconfidential. Wallach could have been "nominated" by himself or one of his admirers, but that would not make him a serious candidate. The Nobel Committee denies that Wallach has ever been a legitimate Nobel Prize nominee.
NCAHF has been aware of Wallach's activities for many years. In the early 1980s Wallach worked out of the Northcoast Naturopathic Clinic at Cannon Beach, Oregon, where he practiced as a "Manner Metabolic Physician." This designation meant that he dispensed a the unapproved cancer therapy centered around laetrile (cyanide derived from apricot pits). In 1990, Wallach appeared as a naturopathic doctor in an advertisement for Hospital Santa Monica, a clinic inTijuana operated by the notorious Kurt Donsbach. In 1993, NCAHF received a call from a consumer in the state of Virginia who reported that Wallach was involved in the multilevel marketing of vitamins and hydrogen peroxide.
In 1995 NCAHF received a report from a consumer in California who stated that Wallach was dispensing chelation therapy for coronary artery disease at a clinic in San Francisco. The caller was concerned because her father-in-law had died following Wallach's care. He had become very weak, but Wallach had poisoned him against returning to his regular physician, so he did not seek medical help. His wife, who is also a disciple of Wallach's ideas and health care, had the body cremated. The mother-in-law has completed her course of chelation therapy, but still returns every 1-2 months for more. On Wallach's advice, she also ingests a "toddy mix" that looks like "muddy water" [Note: this sounds very much like a Rockland International company product called Body Toddy that was banned by the FDA due to its high levels of toxic substances,3 especially since Donsbach was associated with Rockland].
According to promotional materials, Wallach works with a Dr. Ma Lan who was educated in the People's Republic of China. It is not clear whether or not she is licensed to practice medicine in the United States. Since neither of his credentials as a veterinarian or a naturopath enables him to practice medicine (ie, render chelation therapy) in California, it is unclear whether he is blatantly disregarding the law, or is operating under Dr. MaLan's medical license (if she has one). The mother-in-law seems to be a victim beyond help. She has a diploma from Donsbach University and sold Sunrider products for a while. She quit when she heard about lawsuits against Sunrider, fearing that she might be named as a defendant.

I've been listening to the Self Image Renewal CD and it's helped so much. I find I have more energy throughout the day as I listen to the CD's because I'm not exhausted from battling my negative, anxious thoughts. Some days it feels like I'm climbing up a muddy hill and keep slipping down. The CD's give me the foothold I need to continue the climb. They have truly been an answer to prayer! Thanks so much!

"I was running errands with my daughter Kally in the car one day. We were listening to your CD when she first heard the Self-Image Renewal program. We listened in silence for a few miles when she suddenly perked up and got this great big smile on her face and said, "Mommy, that makes my brain feel good!" On another occasion, as I was trying to describe the "music" I was about to play for us, she brightened up and said, "Oh yeah Mommy, that's the one that makes my heart feel pretty!" Thanks so much for your program. My four year old daughter and I can both listen to it. I've even been letting my mom, who's in hospice, listen to it because I know how much she loves the Bible."

"It was quite a surprise to discover the extent of "junk" thinking I had been holding onto since forever. Our enemy had convinced me that it was a good thing to hold onto guilt, fear, self put downs and many other forms of low self image. The GoalMind software and Rebuilding the Temple tools made me realize that I was never going to really grow as a Christian and person until I started looking at myself and my God given gifts, talents and abilities in a much more positive light. When I started using these tools I realized I'd never have to look back at all the "stinking thinking" again and I could begin real growth and renewal like I hadn't known since youth." – Todd

|Tool-like behavior in the sixbar wrasse, Thalassoma hardwicke (Bennett, 1830).
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20095003 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|There are only a few documented cases of the use of either tools or substrates (anvils) as pseudotools in fishes. Described here is an anvil behavior of a labrid fish, Thalassoma hardwicke, observed under aquarium conditions. This fish was fed with pellets that are too large to swallow and too hard to break up into manageable bits using jaws only. The observed individual carried a pellet to an anvil to break it up into pieces small enough to be swallowed. This feeding behavior was frequently repeated (observed in detail about 15 times), nearly always successful, and remarkably consistent, suggesting that the rock selected for an anvil is remembered and its functional qualities or other factors may play a part in its choice. These observations agree with evidence for other advanced cognitive abilities in members of the genus Thalassoma and suggest that, for welfare demand, rocks with rough surfaces should be provided to these fish, especially when they receive hard food for variety.

Watch Earnings News This Week
With fourth-quarter earnings seasons hitting its stride, investors are returning to the familiar comfort of cold, hard numbers — the press releases, conference calls and spreadsheets that provide a real view of corporate America's performance.
Trading has been dominated for months by speculation about news events: Washington's perpetual state of gridlock, the impact of Superstorm Sandy, the international economic slowdown. Earnings give professional market-watchers something tangible to analyze.
This week will bring answers to questions that have hung over the market for months: Will slower growth in China put a dent in big U.S. companies' income? Will new housing numbers come in strong enough to keep homebuilders flying high? How much did Superstorm Sandy cost big insurers?
Here's a guide to some of the big stories that professional investors will be watching as the earnings news arrives:
∎ The China Question: Big U.S. companies are increasingly reliant on sales to China, and growth there appears to be slowing. This round of earnings will shed light on how hard the slowdown is hitting American companies.
The messages so far are mixed. When Alcoa announced its results on Jan. 8, executives said they expect sales to grow by 7 to 10 percent in 2013, thanks to "the wealthier middle class" and "the general uptick in the Chinese economy."
Announcing its fiscal second quarter results last month, however, Nike said China was the only region where revenue declined. Executives said they expect lower income from China in the coming quarters as they work to build a strategy around Chinese consumers.
∎ Housing Rally: How Long? The government said Thursday that U.S. builders started work on homes in December at the fastest pace in 4½ years, and that last year was the best year for residential construction since the early stages of the housing crisis.
This week brings more data on sales of new and existing homes in December. If the numbers look weak, analysts say, homebuilder stocks may appear overbid and the rally may pause until earnings results arrive from big players like D.R. Horton Inc. (Jan. 29) and PulteGroup Inc. (Jan. 31).
∎ How Super, Storm Sandy? Superstorm Sandy had broad, negative economic effects, like keeping holiday shoppers home and wiping out disposable income. But its most direct impact was on insurers. Risk modeling firm AIR Worldwide says storm-related losses covered by insurers could total $16 billion to $22 billion.
This quarter's earnings will give traders their first look at how hard Sandy hit the major property and casualty insurance companies. Analysts have been reducing their expectations for the financial industry's performance mainly because of insurers, Butters said.
∎ Tech Trouble: Tech companies have been vocal about the challenges they face. Of the 32 tech companies that gave earlier guidance about their fourth-quarter performance, more than 90 percent were negative, Butters says. The usual number is closer to 50 percent, he said.
One troubling sign Thursday was Intel Corp.'s announcement that weak demand for personal computers caused its fourth-quarter net income to fall 27 percent and its revenue to decline 3 percent.

Scientists say that 30 is the age when the body begins to decline, when growth and development start to give way to the aging process. But consider the wisdom accrued with experience, and 30 can be the heart of a person's prime.
And a dance company's. Minneapolis-based Zenon Dance Company is about to turn 30, and its performance Sunday night, Nov. 18, at the Cowles Center showed it might be at the peak of its powers. In energy, chemistry and emotional expressiveness, this go-to troupe for bringing the visions of cutting-edge choreographers to Twin Cities stages might be the best it's ever been.
For its 30th fall season, Zenon is performing two programs. This past weekend's works were all from this decade, including two premieres. One of those two will also be presented Nov. 23 through 25, but will be alongside pieces that Zenon presented back in the '00s. If the troupe approaches the old works with the balance of discipline and abandon accorded the first weekend's works, it should be similarly thrilling.
Sunday's program seemed a collision of order and chaos, made up of pieces about how individuals seek bonds of commonality with others. In Luciana Achugar's "Structures of Feeling," eight dancers became four tandems, each member of a pair mirroring the other's movements with astounding accuracy. It conveyed a primal, earthy environment perhaps inspired by how species emerge and evolve.
If that work was about raw physicality, then Netta Yerushalmy's "Hello, my name is Catherine" seemed built around the scattershot workings of the mind.
By contrast, Mariusz Olszewski's "Hotel Tango (para Sharon)" -- the lone work that will be repeated next weekend -- was far more rooted in structure and story. Its movement vocabulary was the Argentine tango, its characters two couples engaging in erotic interplay. It served a steamy reminder that Zenon's a very versatile troupe, able to execute ballroom as exquisitely as it does the most offbeat of modern dance.
I saw the company perform Daniel Charon's "Storm" last year, but don't recall the dancers conveying such a sense of exhilaration and joy. While Michael Nyman's soundtrack was often overly grandiose, there was a palpable sense that these dancers really love working together as they underlined the evening's theme of establishing bonds with others. In "Storm," the patterns and pairings of passing dancers could take the audience's eyes in any number of directions, but, wherever one looked, some very impressive collaborative chemistry was on display.

|Atractylenolide II induces G1 cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in B16 melanoma cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21524699 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|AIM OF THE STUDY: Atractylenolide II (AT-II) is a sesquiterpene compound isolated from the dried rhizome of Atractylodes macrocephala (Baizhu in Chinese), which is traditionally prescribed for melanoma treatment by Chinese medicine practitioners. Our previous study showed that AT-II can inhibit B16 cells proliferation. Here we investigated the mechanistic basis for the anti-proliferative activity of AT-II in B16 melanoma cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cell viability was examined by MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry. Protein expression was determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: AT-II treatment for 48h dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation with an IC(50) of 82.3μM, and induced G1 phase cell cycle arrest. Moreover, treatment with 75μM AT-II induced apoptosis. These observations were associated with the decrease of the expression of Cdk2, phosphorylated-Akt, phosphorylated-ERK and Bcl-2, the increase of the expression of phosphorylated-p38, phosphorylated-p53, p21, p27, and activation of caspases-8, -9 and -3. In addition, a chemical inhibitor of p53, PFTα, significantly decreased AT-II-mediated growth inhibition and apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that the G1-arresting and apoptotic effects of AT-II in B16 cells involve p38 activation and ERK inactivation, and the cytotoxic/apoptotic effects of AT-II are at least in part mediated by PI3K/Akt signaling and potentially p53 dependent. These findings provided chemical and pharmacological basis for the traditional application of Baizhu in melanoma treatment.

November 19th is Civic Election Day in BC and the need for every British Columbian to demand greater accountability from their civic leaders is urgent. CFIB is out there on your behalf working to ensure that your voice is heard.
Municipal spending getting worse
On Monday, we released our fourth annual BC Municipal Spending Watch Report, which shows BC's municipalities are getting worse in their spending habits. Municipal operating spending, adjusted for inflation, has ballooned to nearly four times the rate of population growth in BC. CFIB is raising the price on bad public policy by releasing this data and the media is gobbling it up. Hopefully you were able to see the stories on the front pages of the Vancouver Sun and the Province, your local paper, CTV or Global.
See how your municipality stacks up
Property tax bills too high
Earlier this year, we once again brought attention to the stifling level of property taxes across BC. Business owners on average pay almost three times what residential business owners pay. This profit insensitive tax is being driven ever higher by municipal spending gone wild.
CFIB Taxpayer Pledge
Over 1000 British Columbians have asked their local candidates to take the CFIB Taxpayer Pledge. The Pledge asks candidates to commit to property tax fairness, spending restraint and support for a Municipal Auditor General.
View current candidates who have taken the Pledge
Municipal Auditor General coming soon?
The recent announcement in the Throne Speech that the BC government would introduce a Municipal Auditor General was welcome news to small businesses. CFIB has been working with the province to ensure that the office is an independent body that has the power to affect the change needed in this province. We expect to hear good news before the end of the year, please be assured CFIB is looking out for your interest.
Be heard on November 19th – Vote!
