Question & Answers
Gem match not getting rid of yellow boxes?
Hi, I was playing the gem match yesterday & there were three boxes that would not disappear no matter what I did so I had to give up as I was using up my time & eyes. Whenever I use d an eye it always tried to clear the same box next to one of the ones I couldn't clear , I am at magister level so is there something I should know about to clear these type of boxes? Thanks, Jan.
Answer from: Grey
Ah... This happens sometimes. A box will not have a gem in it, yet is still yellow. And if you exit without winning, you have to re-do your winning streak. To exit without having to re-start your puzzle count, leave gem match open, and shut your device off. When you get back into the game, the "loss" is not counted against you.
Answer from: KaReN
Search "gem match problem" and you should find two different threads by that same name, both talking about this particular issue. The thread started by Smuffin includes a detailed answer from Argh about how and why it happens and some things you can do to try to deal with it.
Answer from: HappyFrog
Haven't had this problem yet but good to know! :) Thanks y'all.
Ugh, I really really dislike intensely Gem match. My hubby enjoys playing it so every time I have a quest I give it to him! :)

|Tewksbury Country Club -- Short course, but well kept course
|Review by: Tewksbury Resident
|This is a great small course to learn on. My wife especially likes playing there, as she is not a strong hitter. The course as mentioned is well kept and the greens always seem to be in good condition. There is only one hole that is up hill, so the course is very walkable. Most holes have some water, but most of the water is to your side, except for a couple of holes. Some holes can be very forgiving once you determine the layout. The price is not to high for 9 holes, but they don't give you a break if you decide to play 18, the price is doubled. There is also a nice resturant and pub to eat at.

Winners Announced in Visualize Your Water High School Citizen Science Challenge
Contact Information:
Jon Campbell ( Phone: 703-648-4180 ); Karl Haase ( Phone: 703-648-5818 );
In January 2016, U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency challenged high school students in 13 states to create compelling and innovative visualizations of nutrient data from open government data sources.
Students from across the United States participated in the challenge, demonstrating their creativity and commitment to environmental stewardship. For the winning visualizations, students effectively used geographic information systems software (GIS) and water quality datasets to describe nutrient pollution in their local watersheds in innovative ways.
Plant nutrients can be valuable in agricultural and urban settings, but too much at the wrong place or time will produce algal blooms, hypoxia, and other nutrient-related water quality issues that are particularly acute in the Great Lakes Basin and Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
Today we are announcing the winners of the challenge.

The National Grand Prize winner is being awarded $2,500 and an opportunity to attend the Esri Education Conference in San Diego, CA in June. The Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes Regional Prize Winners are each being awarded $2,500. The National Geographic Prize winner is receiving a copy of the National Geographic Atlas of the World. All six winning visualizations will be published in Esri's 2017 Mapping the Nation book.
The Visualize Your Water Challenge is part of the broader work of the Challenging Nutrients Coalition. The coalition was formed in 2013 when the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy convened a group of federal agencies, universities, and non-profit organizations to seek innovative ways to address nutrient pollution. This challenge built on the activities of the Open Water Data Initiative, which works in conjunction with the President's Climate Data Initiative, to further integrate existing water datasets and make them more accessible to innovation and decision making.
Visualize Your Water involved students analyzing data and creating maps using online GIS software. In conjunction with President Obama's ConnectED Initiative supporting digital learning for every student in America, any US K-12 school can receive an ArcGIS Online school account for free from Esri.
The winners are being announced during National Environmental Education Week, a nationwide celebration of environmental education.The GIS-based entry The Chesapeake Bay: A National Treasure in Trouble claims Honorable Mention in the Visualize Your Water high school citizen science challenge.

Most Wind Towers in Southern Great Plains Are Low Risk to Sandhill Cranes
Contact Information:
Marisa Lubeck ( Phone: 303-526-6694 );
Sandhill Cranes fly in close proximity to wind turbines near Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in east-central Wisconsin, but to date no crane mortality has been associated with turbines in this area. Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis)
The current placement of wind energy towers in the central and southern Great Plains may have relatively few negative effects on sandhill cranes wintering in the region, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study published today.
Midcontinental sandhill cranes are important to sporting and tourism industries in the Great Plains, an area where wind energy development recently surged. Scientists with the USGS compared crane location data from the winters of 1998-2007 with current wind tower sites in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico prairies. Findings showed only a seven percent overlap between cranes and towers, and that most towers have been placed in areas not often used by cranes during the winter.
"Great Plains wetlands are critical to preserving valuable sandhill crane populations," said USGS scientist Aaron Pearse, the study's lead author. "Our findings can help managers minimize risks of future wind energy development to cranes by highlighting potentially hazardous locations."
Using data from cranes tagged with satellite transmitters, the scientists estimated wintering crane distributions and habitat selection behaviors prior to and during wind tower construction, which began in 1999 but surged from 2004-2013. They then compared the early estimates with post-construction bird behaviors and current tower locations.
"Although about 50 percent of cranes in our study used locations that had wind towers nearby – within 10 kilometers, or about 6.2 miles – there were few instances in which high densities of cranes and high densities of towers coincided," Pearse said.
The study further showed:
- A modest seven percent overlap between study areas visited by cranes during the winters of 1998-2004 and areas with wind towers constructed during 1999-2013;
- When they spent time near wind towers, the wintering cranes maintained an average distance of 6.5 kilometers, or about four miles, from the towers;
- Only five percent of wind towers in the Texas High Plains have been constructed in locations identified as highly preferred crane winter habitat; and
- Wintering cranes generally selected wetlands or upland areas near wetland basins.
Eighty percent of the midcontinent sandhill crane population resides in the central and southern Great Plains for up to half of the year. Potential threats of wind towers to cranes include collisions and avoidance of areas near towers, which reduces available roosting and foraging habitat.

How Climate Change Might Affect Polar Bears' Bodies
Contact Information:
Paul Laustsen, USGS ( Phone: 650-329-4046 ); Hova Najarian, Oregon Zoo ( Phone: 503-220-5714 );
PORTLAND, Ore. — You really are what you eat. That's the taking-off point for a new polar bear study, conducted by U.S. Geological Survey researchers with an assist from the Oregon Zoo — and published this week in the journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology.
As sea ice shifts in the Arctic, scientists have noted a corresponding shift in polar bears' diets. In Western Hudson Bay, for example, sea-ice loss has been associated with declines in the consumption of benthic-feeding prey, such as bearded seals. In East Greenland, polar bears have increased consumption of hooded seals and decreased consumption of their more typical prey, ringed seals.
The degree to which these types of changes are common throughout polar bear populations, and their implications on bear health, are not well understood. To determine whether bears are changing their diet in these remote Arctic regions, scientists are gathering baseline data from a couple of animals closer to home — Tasul and Conrad, two resident polar bears at the Oregon Zoo.
"Science can sometimes be a slow process," said Amy Cutting, who oversees the zoo's North America and marine life areas. "And climate change is happening rapidly. Anything we can do to quickly gain information about how polar bears respond will help managers make critical decisions for protecting them in the wild."
Using a handy chemical tool called "stable isotopes" — which include the carbon and nitrogen atoms that exist in every living thing — researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey are revealing how polar bears, which currently boast the highest-fat diets of all the animal kingdom, process different types of meals.
"This new tool is allowing us to use hair and blood samples to discover whether polar bear diets have changed since the '80s, when we began keeping records," said Dr. Karyn Rode, the USGS wildlife biologist who led the study.
This is possible, Rode says, because when a polar bear eats a meal of seal, whale or walrus, it takes on that organism's isotope load as well.
These chemical markers can then be detected in the bears' own tissue samples, such as their blood or hair, which grows at a predictable rate and reveals the bear's past "dietary signature" — or what and where their meals were eaten, she says.
But it's not quite that simple.
"It's not just that a 50 percent salmon diet shows up as 50 percent salmon in the body," Rode said. "Some gets routed toward body fat, some gets stored and some is transformed directly to energy. I need to understand how the bear body processes food before I can understand how different diets may affect them."
During data collection, the zoo bears participated in what zoo staff dubbed a "surf and turf" experiment — switching between marine and terrestrial foods. By comparing this new data to USGS archive samples from the Chukchi and Southern Beaufort Sea bear populations over the past 25 years, Rode and her team may reveal the effects of this new meal diversity on polar bears.
"We're hoping to study their diets over time to explain potential changes in resource use as a result of climate-related changes in this sensitive Arctic ecosystem," said USGS research biologist Craig Stricker.
This project, conducted by the USGS Polar Bear Team, is part of the USGS's Changing Arctic Ecosystems research on the effects of climate change on polar bears.
The zoo is a service of Metro and is dedicated to its mission of inspiring the community to create a better future for wildlife. Committed to conservation, the zoo is currently working to save endangered California condors, Oregon silverspot and Taylor's checkerspot butterflies, western pond turtles and Oregon spotted frogs. Other projects focused on saving animals from extinction include studies on Asian elephants, polar bears, orangutans and cheetahs.
Support from the Oregon Zoo Foundation enhances and expands the zoo's efforts in conservation, education and animal welfare. Members, donors and corporate and foundation partners help the zoo make a difference across the region and around the world.
The zoo opens at 9 a.m. daily and is located five minutes from downtown Portland, just off Highway 26. The zoo is also accessible by MAX light rail line. Visitors who travel to the zoo via MAX receive $1.50 off zoo admission. Call TriMet Customer Service, 503-238-RIDE (7433), or visit trimet.org for fare and route information.
Mystery Solved: Traits Identified for Why Certain Chemicals Reach Toxic Levels in Food Webs
Contact Information:
Catherine Puckett ( Phone: 352-377-2469 ); Heidi Koontz ( Phone: 303-202-4763 );
This model provides a new global tool for screening existing and new organic chemicals for their biomagnification potential. Hot colors (red, orange and yellow) indicate a high probability of biomagnification and cool colors (greens, blues) indicate a low probability of biomagnification.(USGS)
Researchers have figured out what makes certain chemicals accumulate to toxic levels in aquatic food webs. And, scientists have developed a screening technique to determine which chemicals pose the greatest risk to the environment.
According to the study led by the U.S. Geological Survey, two traits were identified that indicate how chemicals can build up and reach toxic levels: how easily a chemical is broken down or metabolized by an organism and the chemical's ability to dissolve in water.
These traits account for how most chemicals concentrate, or biomagnify, in ever-higher levels as one goes up the food chain from its base to its top predators, such as fish, people, or polar bears. Chemicals that have the ability to biomagnify, such as DDT, can have adverse effects on human and wildlife health and the environment.
"Chemical manufacturers and regulators can use this information to reduce the risks of harmful chemical exposures to ecosystems and the fish, wildlife and people who live in them," said David Walters, a USGS research ecologist and lead author of the study. "By screening for these two characteristics, we can identify chemicals that pose the greatest risk of the thousands that are on the market and for new ones being developed."
The study found that poorly metabolized compounds tend to remain in animal tissues and are passed up the food chain in higher, more toxic amounts as one animal is eaten by another and so on. Likewise, compounds that don't dissolve well in water accumulate in animal fats, ultimately exponentially increasing in top predators.
Beyond these chemical properties, the researchers found that certain ecosystems and food webs are more vulnerable to biomagnification than others. For example, extremely high biomagnification occurred in ocean food webs that include birds and mammals. The authors noted this may be in part due to longer food chains in these ecosystems that is, many levels and kinds of predators - and because warm-blooded animals need to consume more food than do cold-blooded animals like fish.
Building upon these results, the researchers developed a model of biomagnification based upon how chemicals metabolize and dissolve in water. The likelihood that a chemical would biomagnify was highest – nearly 100 percent -- for slowly metabolized compounds such as chlorinated flame retardants and PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, regardless of their solubility in water.
We need to learn from our previous mistakes and have more informed and responsible design and use of chemicals in the environment," said Karen Kidd, a Canada Research Chair at University of New Brunswick Saint John and co-author of the study. "Our global review provides a straightforward approach for reducing the use of chemicals with the properties to concentrate through food webs. This is a critical step for decreasing risks for humans and wildlife from potentially harmful chemical exposures in foods."
Since the emergence of DDT as a global problem for wildlife in the 1950s and 60s, science has kept a close watch on the behavior of persistent organic pollutants, especially chemicals that may concentrate through food webs to potentially toxic levels in wildlife and humans. Many are resistant to environmental degradation and remain in the environment for decades. While biomagnification can be measured in the laboratory, said Walters, it is best determined by measuring how much the chemical increases with each step in the food chain in wild animal populations.
USGS research partners in this study, "Trophic Magnification of Organic Chemicals: A Global Synthesis," include the Toxicology Centre at the University of Saskatchewan, the Canadian Rivers Institute at the University of New Brunswick, and Environment and Climate Change Canada. The study is published in Environmental Science and Technology.
This research was supported by the USGS Ecosystems and Environmental Health Mission Areas, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Great Lakes Research Initiative, and the Canada Research Chair and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada programs.

Gottex Fund Management's assets under management jumped 14% in the first quarter.
The Swiss fund of hedge funds manager said it now has US$8.6 billion under management, up from US$8.1 billion at the end of last year. Gottex credited most of the increase to inflows, noting particular strength in new advisory mandates.
The firm's assets are set to grow even further, with approval by both its shareholders and those of EIM for the companies' proposed merger. British authorities have also signed off on the deal, which now requires only Swiss regulatory approval.
Gottex also boasted positive returns in the quarter, CEO Joachim Gottschalk said.
"Volatile equity markets and a surprisingly strong bond performance characterized the investment markets for the first quarter," he said. "Our hedge fund and alternative investments performed very well and we continue to anticipate increased allocation from institutional and retail investors into the alternative investment sector. In that light, we are pleased to see an increase in our asset base during the first quarter, predominantly through advisory mandates won in the APAC region."

Workshare, a leading provider of secure enterprise collaboration applications, today launched the managed file transfer (MFT) feature for Workshare Professional 7 and Workshare Protect 7. The new feature allows users to share large and sensitive documents directly from Microsoft Outlook by pushing them to the Workshare platform and sending recipients a secure link.
Workshare Professional and Protect further secures sent files by, when necessary, removing metadata or converting the files to a PDF before pushing them to the platform – all from Outlook. Users can also set policies and permissions based on the sensitivity of the document. These include access notifications, preventing recipients from forwarding the link or document, preventing downloading printing, or specifying an expiration date for the file after which access is denied. All transfers are protected by RC4 128-bit/SSL 256 AES encryption and all recipients are authenticated before access is granted unless specified by the sender.
In addition to providing enhanced security for content, the Workshare MFT feature allows users to reduce email storage costs and ensure attachments are stored in one central repository. Workshare's MFT feature also supports email filing policies as it maintains a record of files in the Sent Items folder. This feature builds on Workshare's reputation of providing secure collaboration tools to 98 percent of Am Law 200 and 67 percent of Fortune 1000 companies.
"This is a first-of-its-kind managed file transfer feature that includes metadata removal and policy enforcement to prevent employees sharing sensitive data and documents inadvertently," said Anthony Foy, Workshare CEO. "Ensuring adherence to compliance, transparency and other legislative mandates are of the utmost concern to enterprises. Workshare's MFT feature alleviates those concerns, providing a complete audit trail for every file sent, including versions and all document-related communications."

Vishane Perera hit a splendid 97 as Oxford made it back-to-back Division 1 wins in the Serious Cricket Home Counties Premier League on Saturday with a 70-run triumph over Harefield.
Captain Ian Crosby elected to make first use of a green-looking pitch.
That decision was vindicated as openers Perera and Francois Vainker batted throughout the morning session to take Oxford to lunch at 75-0.
Vainker fell in the first over after the break, but the arrival of Stewart Laudat to the crease saw a dramatic increase in the rate of scoring.
The former England Amateurs supremo hit eight fours of the highest quality on his way to 49 off 65 balls.
At the other end, Perera remained unflustered.
The diminutive left hander, who recently made his senior Oxfordshire debut, batted for exactly 200 balls, hitting 13 fours and a six for 97.
His innings came to an end as he selflessly attempted a quick single at the end of the innings.
Cameos from Dan Bowyer (18 off 21 balls) and Shami Mendis (23 off just 12 balls including two mammoth sixes) lifted Oxford to an above par score of 250-4.
Youngster Freddie Simon made early inroads by taking two Harefield wickets in his second over, the first of which was courtesy of a sharp slip catch from John Barrett.
New Zealander Mark Beer soon got in on the act to leave the hosts reeling at 11-3.
Harefield recovered thanks to Zimbabwean Chomumorwa Chibhabha, who made 56 off 79 balls.
He received good support from Dhavalkumar Norotam and Luc Baldwin.
Oxford's triumvirate of spinners, Francois Vain-ker (3-59), Shami Mendis (2-39) and Ian Evans (1-14) all got in on the act and Harefield were finally dismissed – courtesy of a sensational one-handed diving catch by Simon – for 180.
The result lifts Oxford to fourth in the table, 13 points off top spot.

The streak of different winners at every different race ended on the street circuit of Valencia for the European Grand Prix.
For the first time in the history of Formula One, the first seven races of the season were won by seven different drivers, from five different teams.
The driver to end that sequence of events was Fernando Alonso and Ferrari, who took their second win of the season and take the lead in the Formula One World Championship.
But on Saturday evening that result wouldn't have been expected by Ferrari.
After fairly decent Friday practice sessions which had Alonso 0.175s behind Maldonado in FP1 and 0.399s behind Vettel in FP2, on Saturday things took a turn for the worst for Ferrari.
Alonso found himself 0.833s behind Button in FP3 which had placed him 12th and while in qualifying that gap in regards to time was closed, in terms of position things didn't improve and in a similar situation to Michael Schumacher, Alonso's time of 1m38.707s was not good enough to get him through to the pole position shoot-out with the Ferrari's time missing out by just 0.004 seconds!
When you dont qualify for Q3, its obviously very sad and theres no point hiding the fact. This result is a cold shower, because our expectations were high and the cars potential has also increased, to the extent that in Q2, we were only three tenths off the best. Its easy to say now that with two runs on Softs in Q2 we would have made the cut, but maybe now we would be here lamenting the fact that we did not have two for Q3: its always easy to judge things after the fact. However, we were not quick enough to be in the top ten in the second part of qualifying and now the race will naturally be tougher. the double World Champion told formula1.com after qualifying.
Clearly down after hoping to impress his home fans in Spain, Alonso wrote off his chances of a good result during the race and also thought that the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton would extend his lead in the Drivers World Championship.
The podium is out of reach and clearly, with Hamilton on the front row, its easy to expect that we will lose ground to him.'
However lady luck was on Alonso's side.
A safety car brought the Ferrari back into play, not only so he could steal second place from the Lotus of Grosjean, but the laps behind the safety car also appeared to have some effect on Vettel's Red Bull and his retirement meant that Alonso inherited the lead of the race.
When Grosjean's Lotus also gave up while chasing the Spaniard and Hamilton's tyres gave up, it was clear that everything was on Alonso's side this weekend.
This has been an unforgettable day for me and I cant find the right words to express my feelings! Winning in my country is an indescribable emotion: I still remember the victory in Barcelona in 2006 and winning today in Valencia with this fantastic team, is amazing
He continued: At the start, it was not easy to make up places and I tried to delay the braking to the maximum at Turn 4, staying on the outside. Then I started to fight my way up and, after the Safety Car, I began to think a podium could be possible. Then I attacked Grosjean and managed to pass him, although I was worried that I might have sustained some damage when we touched. After two or three corners I realised everything was alright and I relaxed. When I went into the lead after Vettel retired, we were all hoping the tyres would last to the end. I was always talking to my engineer who told me I was running the same pace as those following me: in the end, there was not much left, but unlike Canada, the others were in the same situation. It was emotional being on the podium with Andrea Stella, because he has also worked with Michael and Kimi: he could celebrate in the best way possible a totally unexpected win, given our grid position.
Alonso now holds a 20 point lead at the top of the F1 World Championship with 111 points.
In second place is the Red Bull of Mark Webber, with Lewis Hamilton dropping down to third following this retirement.

NYC subway creaking back as region assesses damage
NEW YORK (AP) — The cleanup of miles of New Jersey shorefront ripped apart by Superstorm Sandy has just begun, but New York City moved closer to resuming its normal frenetic pace by getting back its vital subways.
New Yorkers began lining up at subway stops by 5 a.m. Thursday, an hour before the storm-crippled subways were to start running. The predawn commuters waiting at platforms included construction workers, shop owners and executives.
The decision to reopen undamaged parts of the nation's largest transit system came as the region struggled to find its way back from a storm that killed more than 70 people and left more than 5 million without power.
Two of the region's main airports opened Wednesday and officials promised that the third, LaGuardia Airport, would return to service Thursday. Actors and eager audiences brought darkened Broadway theaters back to life. And New Yorkers packed on to buses that returned for the first time to city streets since the storm, joining a throng of gridlocked traffic that navigated the city without working stop lights.
Across the region, people stricken by the storm pulled together, in some cases providing comfort to those left homeless, in others offering hot showers and electrical outlets for charging cellphones to those without power.
The spirit of can-do partnership extended even to politicians, who at least made the appearance of putting their differences aside to focus together on Sandy.
"We are here for you," President Barack Obama said in Brigantine, N.J., touring a ravaged shore. "We are not going to tolerate red tape. We are not going to tolerate bureaucracy."
Obama joined Republican Gov. Chris Christie, who had been one of the most vocal supporters of Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, to tour the ravaged coast. But the two men spoke only of helping those harmed by the storm.
That was already beginning Wednesday, when masses of people walked shoulder-to-shoulder across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan for work, reversing the escape scenes from the Sept. 11 terror attack and the blackout of 2003. They reached an island, where many people took the lack of power and water and transportation as a personal challenge.
On Third Avenue, people gathered like refugees around a campfire. But instead of crackling flames, their warmth came from more advanced technology: a power strip that had been offered to charge cellphones.
At a fire hydrant on West 16th Street, 9-year-old Shiyin Ge and her brother, 12-year-old Shiyuan Ge, stood in line to fill up buckets of water. But unlike the adults, the two kids held plastic Halloween candy pails painted with grinning jack-o-lanterns.
"There's no water in our house," said Shiyin Ge, who had planned to dress up as a ladybug for Halloween.
After suffering the worst disaster in its 108-year-old history, the subways were to roll again — at least some of them. More than a dozen of the lines would offer some service, but none below Manhattan's 34th Street, a line of demarcation in the city separating the hardest-hit residents from those who escaped the brunt.
Downtown Manhattan, which includes the city's financial district, Sept. 11 memorial and other tourist sites, was still mostly an urban landscape of shuttered bodegas and boarded-up restaurants, where people roamed in search of food, power and a hot shower.
To get there from Brooklyn or Queens, commuters who would normally zoom beneath the East River in tunnels that flooded will have to take shuttle buses, adding to the enormous stress already being placed on gridlocked Manhattan streets.
"We are going to need some patience and tolerance," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday.
The airports and subways weren't the only transportation systems returning to the region. Suburban trains started running for the first time on Wednesday, and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor was to take commuters from city to city for on Friday for the first time since the storm.
From West Virginia to the Jersey Shore, the storm's damage was still being felt, and seen.
In New Jersey, signs of the good life that had defined wealthy shorefront enclaves like Bayhead and Mantoloking lay scattered and broken: $3,000 barbecue grills buried beneath the sand and hot tubs cracked and filled with seawater. Nearly all the homes were seriously damaged, and many had entirely disappeared.
"This," said Harry Typaldos, who owns the Grenville Inn in Mantoloking, "I just can't comprehend."
Most of the state's mass transit systems remained shut down, leaving hundreds of thousands of commuters braving clogged highways and quarter-mile lines at gas stations. Atlantic City's casinos remained closed. Christie postponed Halloween until Monday, saying trick-or-treating wasn't safe in towns with flooded and darkened streets, fallen trees and downed power lines.
Farther north in Hoboken, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, nearly 20,000 residents remained stranded in their homes, amid accusations that officials have been slow to deliver food and water. One man blew up an air mattress and floated to City Hall, demanding to know why supplies hadn't gotten out. At least one-fourth of the city's residents are flooded and 90 percent are without power.
The outages forced many gas stations across the state to close, resulting in long lines of people looking to fuel cars and backup generators. Darryl Jameson of Toms River waited more than hour to get fuel.
"The messed up part is these people who are blocking the roadway as they try to cut in line," he said. "No one likes waiting, man, but it's something you have to do."
On New York's Long Island, bulldozers scooped sand off streets and tow trucks hauled away destroyed cars, while residents tried to find a way to their homes to restart their lives. Joanne and Richard Kalb used a rowboat to reach their home in Mastic Beach, filled with 3 feet of water.
Her husband, exasperated by the futility of their effort, posted a sign on a telephone pole, asking drivers to slow down: "Slow please no wake."
Snow drifts as high as 5 feet piled up in West Virginia, where the former Hurricane Sandy merged with two winter weather systems as it went inland. Heavy snow collapsed parts of an apartment complex, a grocery store, a hardwood plant and three homes. The sixth person killed in the state was a candidate for the state House of Delegates, John Rose Sr., who was struck by a falling tree limb. His name will remain on the ballot on Election Day.
A few more inches might fall in West Virginia, but meteorologists said Sandy's days are numbered. The National Weather Service said Wednesday that the last remnants of the storm are in the Appalachian Mountains, and will be gone by the end of the week.
Contributing to this report were Verena Dobnik, Eileen AJ Connelly, Leanne Italie, Karen Matthews and Lou Ferrara in New York; Samantha Henry in Hoboken, N.J.; Wayne Parry in Mantoloking, N.J., Katie Zezima in Seaside Heights, N.J.; Frank Eltman in Mastic Beach, N.Y., Larry Neumeister in Long Beach, N.Y., and Vicki Smith in Elkins, W.Va.

Deadly Brain Tumor May Respond to Specialized Diet
About 18,000 Americans each year are diagnosed with a brain cancer known as malignant glioma, but unfortunately, many do not survive. Researchers studying mice with these types of brain tumors have found that a specialized low-carbohydrate diet, known as the ketogenic diet, may enhance radiation treatment and could possibly extend survival.
Adrienne C. Scheck, from Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, and colleagues divided mice with high-level malignant gliomas into one of two groups. The first group was kept on a standard diet while the remaining mice followed a ketogenic diet known as KetoCal, a nutritionally complete, commercially available formula. Both groups received radiation therapy and had regular brain scans to monitor tumor growth.
The ketogenic diet is high in fat (80% of calories) and low in carbohydrate and protein. The diet forces the body to burn fat instead of glucose for energy, a process that mimics starvation. A ketogenic diet is often used to decrease seizures in children with epilepsy, although doctors aren't exactly sure how it works. There is also evidence that the diet's effect on brain regulation or homeostasis has potential for treating other brain disorders.
In this study, the ketogenic diet appeared to enhance the anti-tumor effect of radiation. Dr. Scheck speculates that the diet works with the therapy to stop tumor growth by reducing the stimulation of growth factor hormones. It may also reduce inflammation and edema around the tumors.
The diet also increased survival. None of the mice on the standard diet survived more than 33 days, but many of the animals on the ketogenic diet survived with no sign of tumor recurrence for over 200 days.
The ketogenic diet typically begins with a period of fasting that lasts until the body produces a moderate to large amount of ketones (a by-product of fat metabolism). This is usually done in a clinical setting so a patient can be monitored for adverse effects such as vomiting, low blood sugar, and dehydration. People on the ketogenic diet should be monitored by a doctor (preferably a knowledgeable neurologist) and a dietitian.
