A single-vehicle crash early this morning claimed the life of a Gordon man in southeast Alabama.
Alabama State Troopers say the crash occurred a few minutes after midnight Tuesday morning on Alabama 53 at the intersection of Houston County 33, three miles north of Cottonwood.
Thomas Frank Rash Jr., 38, was driving a 2000 Harley Davidson motorcycle when the vehicle ran off the roadway and struck a utility pole. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Houston County Coroner Robert Byrd.
Although the investigation into the crash continues, Alabama State Troopers say alcohol and speed were a factor in the crash.

No, you don't need a rear dished plate. I have the same clutch pack on my 5spd. As long as the rearmost steel plate engages the splines on the clutch hub, you're fine.I was concerned about it, too, but the dealer showed me that it's how they come from the factory.
When did they change the design? Where did you buy your clutch pack? Never seen a factory clutch pack without the dished plates before. Who is the dealer you refer to? Surely don't want to lead someone down the wrong path. Please substantiate your claim with more info for the members here.
Okay, I have a clutch sitting here in my lap right now.If you look at the lining of the basket with the rivets in it, if that is new, it sits about a half-mm above the level of the circlip around the clutch hub.It will work if it's all new and unworn, up to the point where the half-mm of wear on the riveted lining gets below the level of the clutch hub circlip, and then the plate won't contact the lining in the clutch basket properly anymore, and there will be a warping action going on when the clutch is clamped on to the plates. There won't be full contact on the basket lining material anymore. The flat plate at the back of the stack there will get warped. You won't be able to adjust your clutch correctly.I also checked the parts book, and there is nothing in there about any model using a flat plate at the back of the stack.Whoever sold you these parts and fed you the line about them being correct was acting in ignorance, or just wanted to sell you what he had.

She hopes to raise the more than $25,000 to put her own billboard up in this borough of New York City promoting Christianity.
This Beeville woman first saw the billboard while watching Fox News in mid-December.
With a picture of Santa Claus above an image of Christ, the sign, sponsored by New Jersey-based American Atheists, urges passersby to "Keep the Merry!" and "Dump the Myth!"
"I don't care if an atheist believes in Christ," Beck said.
She is upset because this attack on Christianity and her beliefs comes at time when so many are turning to their faith for hope.
The news report in question aired only two days after the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting that left 26 people, most them children, dead.
"A lot of people are clinging to their faith, and they don't need to hear news of what you believe in is a myth," she said. "We don't need someone telling us, 'You are, basically, dumb.'"
That sentiment is also shared by the Catholic League, which goes head to head every year with the atheist group that sponsored the billboard.
"This year, it's different," Bill Donohue, league spokesman told Fox News during its Dec. 16 report. "This is vile. When you depict Jesus on the cross with a crown of thorns, this is exploitative. We as Christians never harass, intimidate or insult atheists. But they can't seem to say, 'We simply disagree with you.' They have to insult us."
David Silverman, president of American Atheists, told news media that their message was simply that the holiday doesn't have to be about religious belief.
"Most Christians are really atheists who feel trapped in their family's religion," Silverman told FoxNews.com. "They need not be Christian to enjoy the holiday season."
Beck said that she is determined to spread a different message to the multitude of people who pass by the Manhattan billboard.
"My husband and I are going to pay and have the ad put. I am a fifth of the way there," she said, adding that another couple also helped contribute to this first amount. "I already have other people wanting to contribute."
She hopes that the community here will offer their financial support to make this happen.
"I am not trying to be in anyone's face with religion," she said. "I am just tired of the hypocrisy."
The billboard, owned by Lamar Outdoor Advertising, was only booked through Thursday, and she wants to have something up within the next couple of months.
An account at First National Bank has been set up under the name Hope is Alive for donations. Money can also be contributed at New Life Church.
"We are hoping to have a billboard up for Easter promoting Christianity," she said.

Nice moose. Is that a bullet hole in the palm in the 2nd pic?

Video: Outsted GOP leader opens up to 10 News Investigators
He is accused of lavish spending, forming a secret corporation and funneling Republican Party money to his own account. All of this led to the arrest of former Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer, who is now awaiting trial.
Greer has maintained silence about his arrest last year until now. He is talking for the first time to the 10 News Investigators.
"If they could have put Charlie Crist in prison they would have done that," Greer says.
One of Greer's attorneys, Damon Chase, says the entire episode is going to play out like a Shakespearean tragedy where everybody dies.
Another Greer lawyer, Cheney Mason says, "The case itself and the motive behind it is political corruption."
These people are talking about a series of events that involves or touches Senator Marco Rubio, former Governor Charlie Crist, former Senator George LeMieux, former Attorney General Bill McCollum, President of the Florida Senate Mike Haridoplos, Speaker of the House Dean Cannon, and State Senator John Thrasher, who at one time was the head of the Republic Party of Florida (RPOF).
Holding back tears Greer told us, "They just destroyed my life for no reason."
According to Greer, when it came to the leadership and the conservative wing of the party, "They never supported the governor and looked to turn on the governor." Greer adds, "And I was, as many said, the last man standing between the governor and the rest of the party."
The erosion of the Governor's popularity was great news for the right wing of the party, because it wanted Marco Rubio to be the Senate candidate. But with Greer as chairman, the money would flow to the Governor.
Greer acknowledges that is true, saying, "There is no doubt people would tell me frequently I needed to go out in a body bag, because I was the last person between the party infrastructure attacking the governor, because as chairman I had to sign off on everything the party did."
As Rubio was picking up steam and support from those in control of the party, Greer says he got a visit from Senate President Mike Haridopolos and Speaker of the Florida House, Dean Cannon.
"They told me the Governor had lost their support and the support of the party and I was his handpicked chairman, so I needed to leave."
Clearly Crist wasn't happy about the thought of Greer leaving as Chairman, because he said it was a battle the conservatives wanted to wage for years and it would give them more leverage.
But Greer says he realized he had to resign or he would be voted out when the party was having a January 2010 meeting. Over the Governor's objections, he agreed to go.
Greer says his decision to resign came into focus when he was told by the leaders of the party who would do and say anything to get him out. Greer says, "I remember my comment was something about the truth and their response was, 'The truth be damned.'"
He adds,"They were very clear with me if I didn't resign, my life would be a living hell."
But as Greer was getting ready to resign, the state Republican Party was under fire for the amount of money it was spending and putting on credit cards. Greer went to attorney Damon Chase to ensure that the money he spent as chairman would not be used against him after he resigned.
Chase says it would be easy to defend Greer's actions by saying, "If you spend $5,000 on a skybox to wine and dine a potential contributor, it sounds like a lot of money. It sounds like it is extravagant. But two days later when the contributor gives you $25,000, that's a good return, that's a good investment."
Chase also says "Greer was spending a lot of money, but he was bringing a lot of money in."
But Greer wasn't the only one racking up big charges on the Republican Party credit card. From Speaker Dean Cannon buying suits and having $2,000 steak dinners, to Marco Rubio charging more than $4,000 for flooring at his home, money was being spent at such a breakneck pace that Democrats spoofed Rubio in a mock American Express ad saying, "Marco Rubio can afford a lot of things, but what he can't there's always the Republican Party credit card."
It was the way the party operated and Greer says representatives from the Senate and House came to him shortly after being elected party leader and explained how the fundraising and credit cards were used by the party.
According to Greer, "They wanted to make clear that I understand a term I never heard before, 'That we eat what we kill, chairman.'" Greer says he had to have it explained to him and was told, "If we raise a million dollars for Senate and House campaigns and we want to have baseball games, limousines and five star hotels, don't you or anyone else ever tell us we can't."
Now as Greer was being pressured to resigned, not only was he concerned about the party coming after him for the money spent, the party was concerned as well.
There was good reason to worry. As they explained on MSNBC's Morning Joe, "Federal Investigators have launched several probes into the spending and funding of the Republican Party Florida."
Greer says the party leaders were convinced he would blow their whistle on their spending.
Joe Scarborough agreed, saying on MSNBC, "I'll tell you what he's got, all the records, all the e-mails. He's got everything."
Greer says he said to the leaders of the party, "If we want to go burn the house down and destroy the party, we can do that because I'm not leaving without something.
Clearly Greer knew where all the "bodies were buried" and the party was aware of that. He says, "They were as concerned as I was, because they were afraid I was going to sue them for forcing me out of the chairmanship."
So they came up with a deal to protect Greer, but when word leaked out, the leaders denied it existed and decided it had to be destroyed.
We'll tell you how that played out in our next story with Jim Greer Thursday night on 10 News at 11.

George Zimmerman appears before Circuit Judge Kenneth R. Lester Jr. Friday, April 20, 2012, during a bond hearing in Sanford, Fla. Lester says Zimmerman can be released on $150,000 bail as he awaits trial for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting of Martin. He claims self-defense. (AP Photo/Orlando Sentinel, Gary W. Green, Pool)
Defense Gets More Evidence in Trayvon Martin Case
by Mike Schneider
Orlando, FL (AP) -- June 15, 2012 --
Prosecutors have turned over witness statements, FBI reports and crime scene photos to the attorney representing the former neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Prosecutors also said Friday they plan to release 151 calls George Zimmerman made from jail, early next week, but then revised that to only six phone calls after Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara informed them that he would file a motion objecting to the release of most of the calls.
Some of those calls led to a judge revoking Zimmerman's $150,000 bond earlier this month. It also led to the arrest of his wife on a charge of making a false statement.
The calls show Zimmerman telling his wife in April how to transfer about $135,000 raised from a website to different bank accounts. Just days later, Shellie Zimmerman testified at her husband's bail hearing that she didn't know how much money had been raised by the website.
Zimmerman is pleading not guilty, claiming self-defense.
Judge: Zimmerman Statements Can Be Released
by Mike Schneider
Orlando, FL (AP) -- June 13, 2012 --
Statements a former neighborhood watch leader made to detectives after he fatally shot Trayvon Martin can be released to the public, a judge ruled Wednesday.
But Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said that the identities of witnesses who observed the fatal confrontation in February between George Zimmerman and the 17-year-old Martin can stay private, provided the witnesses haven't been identified previously.
"The innocent witnesses who have performed their civic or moral duty by reporting what they observed to law enforcement should not have their lives turned upside-down for having done so," Lester wrote.
Lester's ruling was in response to a challenge news media groups, including The Associated Press, filed against efforts to seal some records.
Prosecutors and Zimmerman's defense attorney had wanted to keep both Zimmerman's statements and the witnesses' identities private. They had argued that their public release would jeopardize Zimmerman's chance of getting a fair hearing when he is tried for second-degree murder. Zimmerman claims the shooting was in self-defense.
The judge said disclosing Zimmerman's statements to police detectives wouldn't jeopardize his ability to get a fair trial. He also ruled that tests given to Zimmerman after the shooting could be released, as well as some crime-scene photos and Zimmerman's recorded telephone calls from jail.
Some of those jailhouse calls involve Zimmerman directing his wife, Shellie, to transfer funds raised on a website to different bank accounts. Those jailhouse calls were cited by prosecutors, who successfully asked the judge to revoke Zimmerman's $150,000 bond earlier this month. Prosecutors accuse Zimmerman and his wife of misleading the judge about how much money they had available for his bond at a bail hearing in April. Shellie Zimmerman was arrested Tuesday on a charge of making a false statement under oath.
Zimmerman has a second bond hearing scheduled for the end of the month.
Prosecutors File Evidence, Witness List in Martin Killing
May 16, 2012 -
Prosecutors in the second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman filed their list of witnesses and evidence in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin late Monday at the Seminole County clerk's office. The eight-page document redacts most names from the witness list, but in addition to law enforcement officers and fire-rescue personnel, they include Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, his brother, Jahvarius Fulton, and Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman, neighbor Frank Taaffe and friend Joe Oliver. Special Prosecutor Angela Corey's office also provided nine reports by the Sanford Police Department, including five by lead investigator Chris Serino. Evidence includes videos from Feb. 26, the night of Martin's death, taken at the 7-Eleven store where he purchased candy and iced tea, and from the clubhouse in the gated community where he was killed. Other items: cell phone records for Zimmerman, Martin and an unnamed witness; materials from the neighborhood watch program for which Zimmerman was acting as a volunteer; Zimmerman's gun, concealed weapon permit and medical and legal records; crime scene phots and Martin's autopsy report. Other witnesses include investigators from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the office of Seminole County State Attorney Norm Wolfinger and Corey's office.

Tallahassee, FL - Doctors say when it comes to alcohol, if you don't normally drink throughout the year you might experience what's called Holiday Heart Syndrome.
They say you could experience an irregular heart beat, that some mistake for a heart attack.
"They feel their heart going irregular, they feel it going fast, they feel dizzy, light headed, tired, sometimes they feel chest discomfort, shortness of breath but the most common sign is irregular heart rate," said Dr. Farhat Khairallah, a cardiologist at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.
If in doubt, or if symptoms persist, doctors insist that you seek medical attention, and to stop drinking.

Funnyman John Cleese is unable to perform his legendary 'silly walks' at the upcoming Monty Python reunion show because hip and knee replacement surgery has left him unable to contort his legs.
The comedy troupe – Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin – held a press conference in London on Thursday to confirm they are getting back together to stage a show at the city's O2 Arena in July.
"The Meaning of Life" stars said the production will contain some new material alongside their classic sketches, but fans' favorite skit, The Ministry of Silly Walks, will not be featured as its star Cleese would struggle with it.
The routine features Cleese performing a series of bizarre methods of walking, and the British star is adamant surgery to his hip and knee have left him unable to repeat the famous sketch.
He told reporters at the conference, "That's impossible now because I have an artificial knee and an artificial hip, so there's no chance of that now."
The five writers last worked together on 1983 film Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life," which also starred Graham Chapman, who died from cancer in 1989.
Idle joked that they decided it was time for them to revisit Monty Python for one last time, saying, "If we left it too long it would be too late. We don't have that long, do we?… We just thought it would be fun to do one (show) and see if we are still funny, and to do the O2 and see if we can fill it."
The Monty Python reunion show will take place on July 1, with tickets priced between $41.25 and $135 going on sale on Monday.
It will be filmed for a later DVD release, and Palin says they might even consider a European tour if the show is a success.

iOptron CEM60, not a rumor anymore.
Posted 14 November 2013 - 03:46 PM
The mount I looked at is an engineering sample that was just assembled for the Arizona Astro Expo in Tucson this weekend. As such, all the software features were not completely implemented, and this mount was not a shipping version by any means.
The mount appeared to be satin finish white, but I was told final versions will be polished and painted. It looked incredible, and the mechanical features just spoke quality.
The mount is all metal, with the exception of an encoder cover and the GPS cover on the side of the mount.
The latitude adjustment and locking are superb, no way it's going to move once you lock it down, it's the same principle as a tilting milling machine vise.
Both RA and DEC axes can be easily unlocked for manual balancing with a couple of turns on the locking switches.
If the old saying "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch" applies, then iOptron has definitely left the porch with this introduction and is running right up front.
Here's a link to a video of the mount slewing, it's very pleasing to the ears:
width="400" height="300" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=048d69ebb9&photo_id=10859225933" bgcolor="#000000" allowFullScreen="true"
And here's a link to an image of the mount with some annotations I added:
ZEQ60 features by Astronewb2011, on Flickr
Here's a comparison of the CEM60 alongside it's little cousin, the ZEQ25:
ZEQ25 meets CEM60 by Astronewb2011, on Flickr
The mount will be sold ala carte, no tripod or pier, so you can mount it up to whatever you desire.
Retail mounts will come equipped with a metal travel case and a factory supplied Periodic Error printout, which appears to be less than 10 arc-seconds p~p at this time.
The high precision version will come supplied with a Periodic Error printout which will be less than 1 arc-second p~p.
The mount has permanent PEC and realtime PEC.
The handset is the feature rich 8407 with a slightly different menu. Look for more details from iOtpron after the Tucson introduction on Saturday.
The mount has enough miscellaneous ports and connectors to make a electronic junkie quiver in anticipation of what to plug in next.
There are no spring loaded worm gears, nor are there any adjustments needed. The worm and ring are held in almost perfect mesh magnetically, a patent pending iOptron design.
I could not detect any slack or play in RA or DEC on the mount. Slews were precise, and as noted in the video, the sound effects at higher slew speeds were quite enjoyable.
High torque stepper motors are used in the mount, not servo motors.
Even the front polar scope dust cover was metal and unscrewed from the mount.
I'd like to thank John and Kevin at iOptron for the gracious offer to see the mount in person, and also permission to give a first heads up on some of the mount's features.
Retail price was not locked in yet, but it appears that the mount will be well south of $3000 in the standard encoder version.
My impression is that iOptron is really making an effort to produce the finest mounts available to the astronomy public, and after seeing the CEM60 in person, they are on track.
It will be available for sale in the Dec-Jan time frame, so don't delay, this will not be 'mass produced', order early.
Clear skies...Paul

Here's another close-up image of the CEM60:
Also some additional specifications:
1. 60lbs (27kg) load. (Roughly equivalent to EQ7 level)
2 will be equipped with encoder (precision version), with or without encoder (Normal Edition).
3 Low weight / high load style. (Weight should be less than NEQ6 or AZ-EQ6, but higher than iEQ45)
4 new design style. (Unlike zEQ25/iEQ45)
5 Price predicted between 3000 $ to 4000 $ (precision version)
6 there will be more advanced mount features (mx can refer to some features)
7. Goto finally improved sound, similar to the kind of Cinda heq5/neq6 high frequency tone.
Posted 14 November 2013 - 05:38 PM
If the price of the precision encoder mount does indeed come in at 4000 I will have to rethink my plans! I will be watching the shakedown with interest when they are released.
Posted 14 November 2013 - 06:08 PM
What really interests me is what kind of encoder they are using. The EQ8 encoders are un-interesting (very low resolution).
Having built two encoder prototypes (bolt-on to existing mounts) I've learned a huge amount about encoder PE correction, and it is not an easy task - my latest prototype (the one that actually works!) can only maintain +/- 2" with (cheap) ebay encoders.
So I wonder what this new mount uses.. I am fairly sure it's not a Chinese encoder (the Chinese still can't make high-resolution encoders). And it can't be Renishaw Resolute (the price of one such encoder is greater than the price of this entire mount, if the pricing of 3000-4000 for the encoder version is correct).
Feeling a bit miffed that my efforts of the past year (ish) have been productized by iOptron.
Posted 14 November 2013 - 06:31 PM
OTOH, I'd love to see the iEQ45 worked to be the same idea as the 25 and 60. That would be perfect for the type of work I hope to gravitate to one day--handle a C8 or my APM.
Posted 14 November 2013 - 06:55 PM
My newest encoder prototype does 4" p-p which is good enough for 10 minutes unguided at 600mm focal length. Statistically proven to produce rounder stars than the AP600 (10" to 11" p-p). Once I submit my project report I'll share my results here as well...
Posted 14 November 2013 - 07:49 PM
Sure am glad I did.
But, call it wishful thinking, I can't help but believe the Chinese will start producing top-level mounts sooner or later. And unlike optics where a Roland Christen or a Yuri can make such a difference, mounts can be automated and designed by well-educated if less talented engineers.

Looks good! Now I,just need tofigure out why I need one and how to pay for it.
I hear you Mike... I need to figure out whether or not to sell my iEQ45 with, or without the TDM installed.
I figure, on cloudy nights, I can at least power up the CEM60 and listen to that cool slewing sound, kind of like an arcade machine and mount built into one?
Posted 14 November 2013 - 09:21 PM
"if this works" is the key, since it's in the same price range as the EQ8 and the CGE Pro - which is well-proven. Sure the CGE Pro can't do 1" p-p but it can do 4" p-p (with PEC enabled) which is plenty enough.
So true Orly. Each of these mounts will be delivered with a factory generated Periodic Error report. The engineering sample is 6 arc-seconds peak to peak, without PEC. I'm thinking they will shoot for 10 arc-seconds or less for the standard version.
This will not be a mass produced mount, each will be adjusted and tuned until it meets a minimum spec. They will then engrave the serial number and the owner's name on the black plate on the front of the DEC housing.
I hope the other manufacturers are paying attention, because this could start a new 'mount race', which is good for everyone...
Posted 14 November 2013 - 09:23 PM
Exciting times.....iOptron looks to be on the money innovation-wise. Cant wait to hear about the ones going out for testing........
I assume you are on the list Paul?
Thanks for the report!
Actually Andy, I have one on order already, if all pans out, it will be serial number '00000' and I plan on putting it through its paces, so it had better be a good one..
Posted 14 November 2013 - 09:44 PM
the only reason the price point can be met, is because Chinese engineers are cheap(er).
the reason AP can guarantee performance is because after every mount comes off the CNC mill, its PE is measured using a high-precision encoder, and if it doesn't make the cut, the mount is send back for rework. Doing this in the US costs...
but eventually the Chinese engineers will get fed up with getting paid peanuts compared to US engineers. the reality is that niche skills of this type cost money.
Posted 14 November 2013 - 09:46 PM

But to me this mount has quite good fit and finishing, and is pleasing at least to look at Those who need a higher capacity would really enjoy it.

Build in USB hub in the dovetail clamp? Nice.
Now that is rather a nice way to do "through the mount" cabling for camera, guide cam, etc control. Certainly can tell imagers are the prime target with a feature like that!

On second look - looks like a pass through for ST4 guide port as well (the 6p6c ports both top and bottom) and pass-through 12v power. Man... I have such a thick bundle of cables hanging from my imaging rig all the time this just sounds REALLY appealing for that alone just for the avoidance of cable snags and balance issues.

I can't determine if this strategy by iOptron is an upsell scenario or does it make sense to sell the mount and tripod separately? For now I will give them the benefit of the doubt, but my cynical side is tugging at me unless persuaded otherwise.

Tallahassee, FL - Florida Governor Rick Scott didn't get a hero's welcome outside Florida's House Chambers Tuesday. The Governor received some "boo's" from youth activist organization "The Dream Defenders."
But inside the House, Scott got right to work with his "state of the state" address ahead of the 2013 legislative session.
"We are now in a better position than ever before to reward good teachers and move bad teachers out of the classroom. We don't want a war on teachers; we want a war on failure," said Scott, continuing his platform of emphasizing education.
Pay raises for both teachers and state workers will be a factor this session, especially now that lawmakers don't have to fight with billion dollar budget shortfalls for the first time in six years.
"We have to emphasize more funding in education, we have to recognize the good teachers in our school system, and I'm very proud of what the governor has said for the $2,500 dollar raise, and I emphasize raise because it's not a bonus," said Sen. Bill Montford, the Senate Education Committee's vice-chair.
Reform could be in the cards too. The Florida House passed an elections reform bill that increases the amount of early voting days, puts limits on some ballot summaries, and increases early voting locations. The bill was conceived after a 2012 general election nightmare for the Sunshine State.
House Speaker Will Weatherford (R-Wesley Chapel) has also made pension reforms for the private sector a top priority.
"With election, we made lots of mistakes which now, in our wisdom of the legislature, the Speaker has looked at it, the Governor looked at it, it was a debacle. And now we don't want to have pensions be a debacle as well. So the cautionary tale is let's take our time," said Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda (D-Tallahassee).

Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida lawmakers are gathering at the Capitol to kick off their annual session.
The 60-day annual session starts Tuesday. The opening day ceremonies will include the annual state of the state speech given by Gov. Rick Scott.
Lawmakers are expected to deal with a long line of issues over the next nine weeks - including whether to give teachers a $2,500 across the board pay raise. Legislative leaders have also pledged to make changes to the state's election laws and to boost ethical standards for elected officials.
But the biggest issue confronting legislators is whether the state will accept billions in federal aid and expand the Medicaid program. Scott is in favor of expanding the safety-net health insurance program but the House is opposed.

Local researchers have come up with a new way to
help people who are recovering from strokes,
dealing with Parkinson's disease or just
to improve their balance.
Paula Wolfson, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Local researchers have come up with a new way to help people who are recovering from strokes, dealing with Parkinson's disease or just desperate to improve their balance.
"TreadSense" is the brainchild of a team from the University of Maryland that includes professors, PhD candidates, and one incredibly talented sophomore.
Think of it, in its simplest terms, as Wii Fit on steroids.
The research team started with a treadmill and the simple act of walking.
Kinesiology Professor Dr. John Jeka, who led the project, says they pondered the notion of using a treadmill not just for cardiovascular training, but for balance training as well.
They knew they had to find a way to rehab the brain so it would know how to send the proper signals to the muscles. And so they souped-up the treadmill with two web cams that would record movements, and developed software to translate those movements into images on a computer screen — providing patients with immediate feedback.
The most popular display shows a bull's eye and a cursor.
"We train them [patients] to note that the cursor's motion is a mirror representation of their own. If they move, the cursor moves," says physical therapist and research team member Eric Anson.
Anson is using the new technology with his patients at Adventist Rehabilitation Hospital's Silver Spring clinic. It is the first facility in the nation to use the device.
He says "TreadSense" may be a game changer because it works on balance while patients are walking. By contrast, the popular Wii Fit game trains only for balance control while standing.
Anson says the former is important because most falls occur when people are walking, or when they are rising to their feet to walk. He says some studies suggest that one third of people over 65 fall each year, and far too many sustain serious, even potentially fatal, injuries.
Team leader Jeka says "TreadSense" can be used as a rehab tool and also as a means to prevent injury in the first place. He says it could become a fixture at health clubs as baby boomers look for new ways to stay in shape as they age.
Jeka says improvements in web cam technology have made this innovation possible. That, and the computer genius of one University of Maryland underclassman.
Joseph Owen, 20, a computer science major and Montgomery Blair High School alum, is the current programmer for the project. He says he has gotten more out of it than he ever thought possible.
Owen says he expected to be doing some odd jobs around the kinesiology lab, just fixing a computer code here and there.
"I didn't expect to be programming an entire physical therapy, rehab application that is going to be in use in a real gym," he says.
And for the record, the University of Maryland team began its work four years ago. Long before the Wii Fit hit the market.
Jeka says they are looking forward to the day when "TreadSense" becomes standard equipment in rehab clinics, senior centers, gyms and even training sites, where elite athletes might jump on their specially equipped treadmill to improve their balance even further and get a competitive edge.

WHEELING - The last thing an opposing team wants to see is Bishop Donahue's mammoth offensive line on the field for 77 plays, and Cameron found that out the hard way during the opening game of the McDonald's OVAC Kickoff Weekend on Thursday night at Wheeling Stadium.
It was especially concerning since the Dragons ran just 31, meaning Bishops quarterback Jesse Padlow was set up behind that monster unit for the better part of the evening with plenty of time to pick and choose his spots. Making the first start of what is expected to be a special junior season, Padlow dissected the Cameron defense by hitting seven different receivers en route to an 18-for-23, 258-yard, four-touchdown performance as Bishop Donahue (1-0) routed its Marshall County rival, 48-12.
''Defensively I thought they had a great scheme, blitzing linebackers and sending more than we could block,'' Bishops coach John Durdines said. ''We really weren't able to run the ball, but obviously when they send too many we've got a pretty damn good quarterback and good receivers.
Article Photos
Bishop Donahue's Lavonte Hampton (5) looks for yardage against Cameron on Thursday night.
''We knew they couldn't take both away from us.''
The truth is, the Dragons really didn't take away much, save for a 19-yard interception return for a touchdown by Hunter Yoders late in the third quarter off Bishop backup Hunter Kaschke. The Bishops averaged 4.6 yards per carry, picking up 197 yards and three touchdowns on 43 carries.
As good as the offense was, some might argue Bishop's defense stole the show. Using only his front four to apply pressure on Cameron's 6-foot-9 junior quarterback Logan Routt and playing bump-and-run on the outside, Durdines' first-team unit allowed a total of three yards before checking out late in the fourth quarter.
''We didn't give Logan enough time to throw the ball,'' Dragons (0-1) coach Jim Rogers said. ''We couldn't get off the bump in a lot of cases.
''Now he's standing there five, six seconds and he's going to get sacked. It wasn't his fault.''
Bishop Donahue started the scoring on its second possession, a 12-play, 78-yard drive that featured five of the team's 25 first downs and culminated with Padlow hooking up with Lavonte Hampton for an 11-yard score.
The Bishops went 81 yards in 10 plays on their next drive, with Andrew Cunningham and Josh Miller making catches of 19 and 27 yards, respectively. That ended in another TD catch from Hampton, this from 16 yards.
Miller (6-4) was another breakout star for the Bishops, turning in a game high-tying six passes and leading the way with 101 yards.
''That Miller kid, they went to him when they needed it,'' Rogers said. ''They have tall receivers and we don't get that look in practice.''
Miller went back to work with a 41-yard catch and Padlow found Chaice Truex from 13 yards away as Donahue took a 20-0 lead into the locker room. Cameron didn't pick up its initial first down - it had three in the game to go along with 70 yards - until less than six minutes remained.
''Having a thousand pounds on the front four of your defensive line is definitely a blessing,'' Durdines said. ''We didn't blitz one single time because we wanted to get the pressure with that front four.
''They got a lot of heat on (Routt) and forced him into a lot of awkward throws.''
Cunningham found his way into the end zone on the ground from 31 yards away on the Bishops' first possession of the second half, and Padlow, shaking off a sack while rolling to his left on fourth-and-6, hit Alex Riedel with a 7-yard score with 5:04 remaining in the third to make it a 34-0 advantage.
Kaschke followed the INT return by Yoders, who turned in a great game with 14 tackles and three assists, by running in from 5 yards out. The Dragons scored their lone offensive touchdown as Clayton Ward broke off a 61-yard scamper against Durdines' second-team defense, before freshman Trey Miller got loose on a 52-yard touchdown run for the Bishops to close the scoring.
It really all came down to Cameron's inability to get its defense off the field on third down. Padlow and the Bishops converted 7 of 11 third-down conversions, while the Dragons finished 0-for-9.
''Third-down conversions are huge because they keep drives going, obviously. Jesse, on a lot of those, we had some third-and-longs and he found his receivers,'' Durdines said.

10 News Investigator Noah Pransky
PINELLAS COUNTY, Florida - The Tampa Bay Rays revealed for the first time Tuesday that only 300 of their 81-game season ticket accounts come from St. Petersburg, where Tropicana Field is located. The 300 full-season accounts total fewer than 1,000 season tickets.
But the selective stats, which do not include partial season-ticket packages, may not tell the whole story.
10 News reporter Preston Rudie asked the Rays for more information on the season ticket base, but was told the team didn't want to give out any more specifics.
However, in 2008, the Rays submitted data to the ABC Coalition indicating 47 percent of its season tickets came from Pinellas County. The team's Tuesday statistics included just the city of St. Petersburg, which makes up just 27 percent of Pinellas County's total population.
According to the 2011 statistics from the U.S. Census, St. Petersburg has a population of 244,997, while Pinellas County has a population of 917,398. Hillsborough County has a population of 1,267,775.
The Rays were making a point about lack of business support in St. Petersburg. The team said Downtown St. Pete was just the fourth-largest business core in Tampa Bay, trailing areas such as Carillon, Westshore, and Downtown Tampa.
In 2010, the ABC Coalition concluded the Rays' attendance problem was largely due to the fact that local businesses weren't buying season tickets, but there would be opportunity to improve if the team moved closer to the business districts in Tampa.
Not only did the stats the Rays provided on Tuesday omit partial-season ticket holders, it also didn't include single ticket statistics.
In 2008, the team told the ABC Coalition that 25.4 percent of single game ticket buyers came from Pinellas County, while 25.0 percent came from Hillsborough County. Pasco County accounted for 8.6 percent of single game ticket sales, Manatee County accounted for 6.8 percent, and all other counties and states accounted for 34 percent of single game tickets.
The Rays told Hillsborough Commissioners last week of great growth potential across the bay, since 33 percent of their total fan base comes from Hillsborough County, compared to just 25 percent from Pinellas County.

Strictly Come Dancing's Len Goodman will be hoping three's the charm after marrying his third wife on Sunday.
The professional ballroom dancer-turned-TV judge exchanged vows with dance teacher Sue Barrett, his partner of more than 10 years, in a surprise ceremony.
The couple invited 30 family and friends to a posh festive lunch at the private Mosimann's restaurant in London, and little did their guests know they were attending a wedding - until the registrar showed up for the ceremony.
But the reality star admits one person was in on the secret - he told his elderly mum about his plans so the shock wouldn't give her a heart attack.
Goodman told the Daily Mail: "I've had a marvellous day, and now my gorgeous Sue is the new Mrs Goodman. I wanted it to be a low-key affair, so we didn't tell anyone except my 96-year-old mum as I didn't want her having a heart attack with the surprise. We've had a marvellous day, with marvellous food surrounded by all my dearest friends - and it didn't go on for too long so it didn't get boring!
"I've been going out with my lovely Sue for ages and I decided it was time to pop the question. She's gorgeous and makes me very happy - though she likes to stay out of the limelight. It was a complete surprise to my friends and family today and we've had a fabulous time."
The newlyweds treated their pals to a champagne reception and even stepped into the spotlight for what Goodman called "a spot of dance-teacher dancing".
Jaws across the country dropped when former wild child Peaches Geldof announced she was pregnant with rocker boyfriend Thomas Cohen. She gave birth to a little boy called Astala Dylan Willow Geldof-Cohen in April.
We all thought Sarah Harding had found happiness when she left rehab with a new man in tow. However, their relationship became abusive when she and Theo DeVries had a brawl in a hotel room, which left the Girls Aloud star battered and bruised.
Mariah Carey was left to care for husband and 'America's Got Talent' host Nick Cannon when he was rushed to hospital following kidney failure.
Sinead O'Connor left fans worried when she pleaded for help on Twitter before being rushed to hospital following an overdose. Thankfully, she survived and sought help for depression.
In one of the oddest stories of the year, TV chef Antony Worrall Thompson became front page news when he was caught shoplifting at Tesco. After publicly apologising, he vowed to seek help for his problem.
Beyonce and Jay-Z became parents for the first time when they welcomed daughter Blue Ivy Carter, who will undoubtedly become the coolest child ever.
There was also baby joy for Michelle Heaton, who gave birth to daughter Faith.
Kerry Katona's financial woes continued when she faced bankruptcy for the second time, after she was served a £70,000 tax bill.
After weeks of speculation, Heidi Klum and Seal announced their separation after seven years of marriage. Later in 2012, Heidi went public with her new relationship with her bodyguard Martin. Seal was left less than impressed, and told a TV crew: "I would have thought Heidi would have shown a little bit more class... before deciding to fornicate with the help, as it were." Ouch.
'Loose Woman' Denise Welch caused one hell of a stir when she appeared in 'Celebrity Big Brother'. She was characterised by her tempestuous relationship with Michael Madsen, her infamous row with the Playboy twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, oh, and getting her boobs out in the hot tub with Frankie Cocozza.
N-Dubz stars Tulisa and Fazer ended their relationship, only months after publicly confirming it. It was rumoured former 'Made In Chelsea' star Chloe Green was implicated in the break up.
Amanda Holden's life hung in the balance after she gave birth to second child Hollie being rushed to intensive care for an emergency blood transfusion. After recovering, she returned to 'Britain's Got Talent' filming just a few weeks later.
