A new day dawning? First signs of promise for a drug that treats the core symptoms of autism
As many parents know, there currently are no available medical treatments for ASD targeting core autism symptoms. Available medications target symptoms associated with ASD, such as hyperactivity, irritability, anxiety, or depression. Although the available medicines have helped many who struggle with the challenge of these symptoms, these drugs do not address the difficulties in the areas of social and communication deficits or repetitive behaviors and restricted interests.
Recently, hope has recently been kindled in a new drug for ASD that developed out of basic research on the neural mechanisms of Fragile X syndrome. Back in 2005 research in Dr. Mark Bear's lab at Harvard showed the Fragile X mutation affects communication between neurons. Specifically, the mutation results in an excess of an excitatory neurotransmitter called glutamate, which impairs communication between neurons by making them over-stimulated. Seeing the potential to help families, a small company called Seaside Therapeutics was started to see if certain drugs could help reduce the level of excitability of neurons.
The drug, arbaclofen, is the first drug being tested. Arbaclofen works by increasing GABA, an inhibitory transmitter, which counteracts the over-excitability of cells. The preliminary results of a trial conducted with children with Fragile X syndrome looked so promising that Seaside Therapeutics announced the results on this year's meeting of the International Society for Autism Research (read a review of that meeting's highlights). More recently, arbaclofen has been tested in children with ASD without Fragile X. The results of this trial have been reported in the news. The trial treated 25 children and adolescents with autism for 8 weeks and the preliminary data revealed that arbaclofen was not only well-tolerated but also increase sociability and eye contact, and reduced tantrums and anxiety.
Of course, the testing of this drug continues and a review of the data by independent scientists is essential for evaluating the true benefit of this new drug, however these preliminary results offer good reason for hope and that news is always worth sharing.

It would be so wonderful if we could find something to help make it click in there!! Even though i dont think my child needs medications but if it could help it could be worth a try!!!I have hope that one day we can overcome this disability!
September 30, 2010 at 10:34 am
when will the study be complete? When will the side effects be available? When will it be approved by the FDA? I am VERY interested in learning more. This would be a miracle for our family. I am not big on medication but honestly at this point if it will increase overall confidence and self worth, it maybe well worth it!
September 30, 2010 at 10:36 am
I was wondering when this will be available . My son has all the problems mentioned in the article and we have been trying to find a medication that would help him for the past three years .I would love to give it a try on him . How I would love for him to be able to stay in school one full day and my husband and I to have just one weekend to ourselves. I know it is just as frustrating for him as it is for us not knowing how to help. Please let me know when it will be available. Thanks for Hope, Lydia Bauer

I myself, an adult with Aspergers would be willing to test/try this medication for research purposes. Please contact me.

My son takes Gaba in powder form as part of his supplements. I have noticed huge gains in his ability to control his emotions, his anxiety and increases his ability to focus. I would definitely suggest to anyone interested in this drug to try the supplement now. Any natural food store will carry it-ask your naturopath or doctor for dosages. I have found this combined with B12 and Omega 3's have made my son's life a lot happier and less stressful. I know this isn't a "drug" and probably won't be as effective as the new med but as an option for now and a natural one I would recommend it.

Hello. I was prescribed Baclofen last year for severe muscle spasms & spasticity (tightening of the skin). I can relate to this study. I received chemotherapy as a child, which in my opinion is the root of stiffness that I have. The stiffness was so bad I couldn't make eye contact, understand what I was being taught in school, couldn't sit still, and I even had some repetition and sensory issues. With the use of Baclofen MANY of my symptoms improved dramatically. Also, my neurologist has prescribed other muscle relaxers that have even further helped with the stiffness and now I can pay attention, etc. My life has taken a 180 since last year and I am so thankful for my neurologist being proactive and sticking by me.
For those with severe symptoms if oral baclofen is not enough, baclofen can be prescribed in a cream usually combined with another medication. Mine is combined with Amitriptylene (spelling?).
I have full faith that this medication is the beginning of relief for patients with Fragile X and Autism. If anyone has questions, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

I must say that most drugs that enter first stage clinical trials usually don't end up being approved due to different reasons (too many secondary effects, does not work well in humans, a large percentage of patients don't seem to be helped by it and we don't know why), etc…

Randi Hagerman the principal author of this study receives funding from Seaside Therapeutics, the patent holder and manufacturer of this drug.
There is a long history of of ties between various autism researchers and the manufacturers of drugs claimed to be a treatment or even 'cure' for autism.
The first being Loretta Bender who claimed dramatic improvement in autistic children given LSD.
Edward Ritvo a highly respected autism researcher found fenfluramine to induce dramatic improvement in a clinical trial.
The effects were so dramatic that parents were confronting their pediatricians demanding they prescribe fenfluramine for their children. Worldwide independant clinical trials were conducted and found fenflouromine to be ineffective in the treatment of autistic children.
Finally, the FDA banned the use of fenfluramine for any use after it was determined that the drug was associated with an inreased risk for inducing heart valve defects.
More recently Eric Hollander of Autism Speaks claimed that the use of Prozac was an effective autism treatemnt in children as young as two years old. Hollander holds the patent on a formulation of Prozac specifically for treatment of autism. His clinical study noted marked improvement. Large scale independant clinical trial trial were held and found Prozac was no more effective in the treatment of autism than placebo.
The association between autism researchers and the pharmaceutical industry has been exapnding and drug treatments for autism is a three billion dollar a year industry and is rapidly growing.
Caution should be taken when clinical trials reporting dramatic imrovements in autistic children when those trials are conducted by autism researchers with a financial interest in those drug treatments.
Below is the statement in the article by Randi Hagerman and her financial interests with the manufacturer of this drug:
Competing Interests
RH has received funding from Seaside Therapeutics, Novartis, Roche, Forest, Johnson & Johnson and Curemark for clinical trials, and also consults with Novartis and Roche regarding clinical trials in fragile X syndrome.

It's a bit puzzing why some neurodiversity advocates attack kgaccount on you tube when the mum is clearly not in the same camp as vaccines caused my son's autism group. I've seen her videos. This is severe autism. Why wouldn't the neurodiverity advocates be behing this child?
October 2, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I am interested in finding out more about this new drug to help those with autism. My son is 4 and has autism. We are now doing ABA and some Hypobaric Thereapy with him. We have seen improvement in him but there still alot of the core symtoms we are still seeing. If this new drug would work to improve the core symtoms we would be interested to give it a try. I would like to learn more as it becomes available.
October 4, 2010 at 4:26 am
Please be careful about these news, you shouldn't be publishing on this website at this stage, there are desperate parents that will do anything to help their children, even buying experimental drugs on the internet. This article sounds as this was the autism cure we had been looking for, which is probably not.
We don't really know if this substance has any effect at all, or worse, it might even be harmful. Or they might sell you something else and pretend it's this thing. I just want to ask every parent reading this article to be careful with what they give to their children.

After more than two years of design, development and testing, we are pleased to introduce the F1TM - a large arbor series that is destined to revolutionize modern fly reel design. The F1 is a complete departure from conventional thinking and incorporates the most innovative features found in any fly reel. Inspired by Formula 1 race car brake systems, the F1 is an integration of carbon fiber and stainless steel; utilizing eight independent contact points to produce the smoothest and most dependable drag system on the market today. Two square inches of carbon fiber drag surface results in unsurpassed stopping power and heat dissipation. The spool fits on a carbon fiber stabilizer with two fully sealed stainless steel ball bearings that provide precision fit and smooth rotation. The F1 employs a Ross original clutch bearing that is fully sealed and enables retrieve conversion without removing the bearing- an industry first! The extensive use of carbon fiber in the drag system, spool stabilizer, handle and spool release produce system strength and rigidity, while at the same time reducing overall weight. Ten separate o-rings completely seal the system, making it totally impervious to the drag-changing effects of water. The F1 employs a constant-torque drag knob with a 56:1 mechanical advantage; resulting in uniform drag knob rotation and infinite drag adjustment.
The F1TM... a fly reel revolution!

Two charged with murder in heroin-related death
Published: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 8:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 10:02 a.m.
A 33-year-old Houma man was found dead this morning at the local business where he worked as a night dispatcher, and his girlfriend and drug dealer are charged with murder, police said.
Joshua Boudreaux, 33, was pronounced dead at Energy Fishing & Rental, 268 Equity Blvd., after his girlfriend called 911 to say she couldn't wake him, according to Terrebonne Sheriff Jerry Larpenter.
Tamara Duthu, 33, 205D Southland Circle, identified by police as Boudreaux's girlfriend, and Dvon Smith, 35, 1204 Willow Drive, are each charged with second-degree murder.
Duthu allegedly bought heroin from Smith and brought it to Boudreaux at Energy Fishing & Rental, an oilfield service company in an industrial area off La. 311.
Boudreaux injected the heroin about 11 p.m., something Duthu witnessed before falling asleep, police said. Duthu allegedly woke about midnight, couldn't rouse Boudreaux and called for help.
Boudreaux was dead when authorities arrived, police said.
Smith was apprehended about 3 a.m. outside his Houma home, though he attempted to flee and hide a gun when he spotted approaching officers, Larpenter said.
About $6,000 worth of heroin was recovered during a search of the house, according to police.
Duthu and Smith were in the Terrebonne Parish jail this morning awaiting a bond hearing. Each is also charged with distribution of heroin.
If convicted of second-degree murder, a charge that includes instances when the death resulted from an illegal drug, each faces a mandatory life sentence.
Heroin distribution carries a five- to 50-year prison sentence and a maximum $50,0000 fine.

Earth Fare closing warehouse in Fletcher
Published: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 7:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 7:50 a.m.
FLETCHER, N.C. (AP) — Organic grocer Earth Fare is closing its warehouse in western North Carolina, eliminating the jobs of 25 workers.
Earth Fare said it will close its warehouse in Fletcher on Oct. 12 and use third-party distribution providers.
"Earth Fare has outgrown its current space and needs additional support to facilitate its rapid growth into new and current markets," said Kristi Kanzig, assistant director of marketing.
Mountain winters and hills created problems with delivery schedules, Kanzig said.
The affected employees "have been given generous severance packages, extended benefits and job placement assistance for the transition," she said.
The Asheville supermarket chain has 31 stores in the Southeast and Midwest. Stores are located in North and South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.
Earth Fare has about 125 people at its Asheville-area office. Kanzig said the company has no immediate plans to relocate its corporate offices.

Blogging To Feed The Hungry
Hubby asked me if I ever make it REALLY big like Pioneer Woman would I continue to donate the money to Gleaner's? I said "heck yeah" and then I'd have to come back here and tell you all that "I love you more than my luggage."
Thank you again for your support and know that by your daily visits you not only tickle the crap out of me and my ego, your efforts are also feeding the hungry. You guys rock!
If you have the time, please check out the video below on what the folks at Gleaner's Food Bank are all about. And if you're so inclined, leave a donation, or find a way to help out your own local food bank or food pantry.
P.S. The Other Side of 50 will be on vacation until sometime next week due to my turning 52 on Saturday. I'm heading north to celebrate (or mourn) the event. Behave and hold down the internet while I'm gone, OK?

For the first time in two years, Americans' income fell last month. The drop was a meager .1%, but it was accompanied by a .2% increase in spending, which means your costs went up by twice the amount your pay was cut. But don't worry, because analysts estimate that corporate earnings of the S&P 500 companies will increase by 13% this quarter, so maybe you can borrow some from them? Just blue-skying here.

Volunteers play games for a greater cause
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 9:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 9:46 a.m.
When the Literacy Volunteers of South Sarasota County hosted the annual card and game party, the event was much more than a typical fundraiser.
A diverse group of people from all over the United States, locals and snowbirds alike, attended the party March 12 in the banquet room at Jacaranda Trace.
There was a colorful array of teacup auction prizes, including a sunset sail for four donated by Sail Venice, certificates for local restaurants and shops, original artwork and jewelry, coffee-table books and gift baskets.
"I'm donating my winnings to the Literacy Volunteers of South Sarasota County," said Leslie Yard, the organization's tutor coordinator, who won the 50/50 drawing.
The Literacy Volunteers have worked to carry out the "Literacy Changes Lives" motto for more than 30 years by helping adults improve their English skills.
For more information about how to become involved as either a tutor or general volunteer, call Yard at 488-8994 or visit www.literacychangeslives.org.

I got the latest PS3 Media Server and I noticed that when I play BluRay movies
it does skip certain scenes of the movies ...
For example, I downloaded the Olympus BlueRay movie and wanted to watch it ... normally
right at the beginning, (whoever watched the movie) sees the "president" having a friendly boxing training match with his friend ...
whereas with PMS it skips further to where hi asks his son some memory questions .. and then it skips to the seance where the car has been shot etc etc.
...not sure why it does this???
It does not do this with normal DVDRipped movies.
I got 60Mbps Virgin Broadband and I am on 6core AMD processor.
The connection is wireless due to my PS3 being in main living room and my router is upstairs.
I can see on PS3 Media Server stating "peak bitrate 37Mb/s"
Any ideas / clues what causes this issue ?
It does annoy me really, it's pathetic!

CORPUS CHRISTI – Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball coach Robert Robinson will not return for the 2012-13 season, Interim Director of Athletics Scott Lazenby announced today. Robinson posted an overall record of 73-113 at the helm of the Islanders. A national search for Robinson's successor will commence immediately.
"We felt it was in the best interest of the program to go in a new direction," Lazenby said. "We have high standards for our basketball teams, and we will begin a search to bring an individual to the Coastal Bend that can lead our women's basketball program to its greatest heights. We thank Coach Robinson for his service to Texas A&M – Corpus Christi, and wish him well in his future endeavors."
Robinson led the Islanders to 24 wins in the 2009-10 season, including a postseason appearance in the Women's College Basketball Invitational. But that was Robinson's only season over .500 in his tenure. The team missed the Southland Conference Tournament in each of the last two years, its first time missing the postseason since entering the league, and posted an overall mark of 11-47 and a 5-27 record in conference play.

In Hall H, a Saturday star attack when entire cast of 'X-Men' unite on stage
Actors from 'X-Men Days of Future Past' attend Comic-Con panel, surprising everyone in Hall H
When "The Avengers" had its Comic-Con panel a few years ago, all of its star-studded cast (including Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson) came to Hall H. It was one of the most memorable moments in the history of the convention.
But 20th Century Fox one-upped itself on Saturday with the "X-Men Days of Future Past" presentation.
All the stars — all of them! — showed up to talk about living in a mutant universe: Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, director Bryan Singer and several producers.
Though they weren't allowed to discuss many plot points, the actors nonetheless answered questions from fans who were beside themselves with glee.
"Every second sitting out in the wet grass, it was worth it," said a fan.
She was right. It was worth the many hours in line to see Sir McKellan joke to Fassbender about finding a husband. Hearing Jackman do an Australian chant with a fellow Australian fan and improvise lines for an imaginary "Wolverine: The Musical" movie. And wondering along with Berry whether her character, Storm, is asexual.
The presentation opened with 3D footage of the film, set for release next summer and currently filming in Montreal.
Before the surprise star attack, Jackman shared clips of the upcoming "Wolverine" movie, saying to fans: "You'll understand way more about the character than you've ever seen before."

PITTSBURG -- Just before jury selection was set to begin, a Contra Costa County trial judge on Wednesday dismissed a criminal case against a 20-year-old Antioch man for having consensual sex with his 16-year-old girlfriend when he was 18.
"I have never made this ruling before," Judge Nancy Stark said. "It's not in the best interests of society to pursue this case."
The misdemeanor case, taken on by the county's top public defender, represents a disturbing trend in Contra Costa County of statutory rape prosecutions involving consensual sex by teenagers with a small age difference, defense attorneys say. But a head sex crimes prosecutor said there's no uptick in such prosecutions; the District Attorney's Office is just doing business as usual.
The Antioch man, a college student who asked not to be identified to protect his privacy, was charged in August 2011 with three counts of unlawful sex with a minor -- colloquially known as statutory rape -- and three counts of oral copulation on a person under age 18. He said the case put him in jail for 12 days, cost him a job at FedEx and forced him to take a semester off school. Around Antioch, he said, he was treated as if he were already a convicted sex offender.
"That's not who I am, that's not who I was raised to be," he said Wednesday outside a Pittsburg courtroom, where down the hall a 19-year-old East County man was facing felony charges for having consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl. That 19-year-old had just been accepted into the Army before the case was filed this year, and the charges derailed his military plan, which included studying at West Point, his attorney said.
Police brought the Antioch case to the District Attorney's Office in 2011, when, in the course of an investigation into a burglary at the girlfriend's house that spring, an officer learned that the one-time high school sweethearts were sexually active. Especially damning to the then-18-year-old: Detectives found his cellphone contained a video of the girl performing oral sex.
The girl told the officer she thought the sex was legal and that it was only a crime if her partner was at least five years older. She didn't want him to be prosecuted, Public Defender Robin Lipetzky said.
Deputy district attorney Adam Wilks said the girl cooperated with the prosecution, and asked for a restraining order against the defendant after they broke up around the time of his arrest.
The age of consent in California is 18. Still, a statutory rape prosecution involving a two-year age difference seemed so odd that it sparked rumors among defense attorneys that the District Attorney's Office had received grant money to pursue statutory rape convictions.
Not true, said senior deputy district attorney Nancy Georgiou, who heads Contra Costa County's sexual assault unit.
"There's no special initiative, no funding. Nothing's changed over here," Georgiou said. "The Legislature defines what conduct is criminal and the penalties. Police bring in the cases, and if we can prove a crime that is something the Legislature says needs to be regulated, we'll pursue it.
"The laws are there to protect young teenagers from the consequences of making immature or uninformed decisions about sex and to protect teenagers from manipulative adults."
Wilks argued that a prosecution would deter the defendant and society at large from engaging in inappropriate sexual relationships with minors. The defendant filmed the girl without her consent and later threatened to distribute the video if she didn't cough up money for a pair of new shoes, Wilks said.
"The conduct here is not as innocent as the defense or court makes it seem," Wilks said in court.
Judge Stark said she couldn't see the value to society in going forward. She didn't want the man to be stigmatized for the rest of his life as a sex offender.
The man and his family members broke down in tears of relief.

LOS ANGELES (January 3, 2013)—The Pan-Arab news channel Al-Jazeera has struggled to win space on American cable television and it finally has it.
Al-Jazeera has acquired Current TV, former Vice President Al Gore confirmed Wednesday.
Gore and his partner Joel Hyatt announced the sale in a statement that said, "Current Media was built based on a few key goals: To give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling."
"Al-Jazeera has the same goals and, like Current, believes that facts and truth lead to a better understanding of the world around us."
The acquisition could extend Al-Jazeera's reach beyond a few large U.S. metropolitan areas, where some people can watch Al-Jazeera English.

The Iowa Budget and Financial Control Committee—A Problem in Separation of Powers
Dale Beck Furnish
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Iowa Law Review, Vol 49, 1964
The Iowa Budget and Financial Control Committee, created by the Iowa legislature and composed of members of both houses thereof, is vested with power to investigate all facets of state government and to control extensive areas of state spending. Since the activity of this committee permeates so many facets of government, it would seem that a legal analysis of the committee must necessarily be considered in light of article III, section 1, of the Iowa Constitution, which provides for the separation of powers of government. The specific problems raised by such a committee in light of this constitutional principle would seem to include the questions of whether or not there is an improper delegation of power to the committee; whether the conducting of investigations and administering emergency funds is proper; whether the committee should be allowed to exercise discretionary powers of approval; and whether weight should be accorded custom and usage in a constitutional issue. In order to develop and resolve these problems the doctrine of separation of powers and the Iowa Constitution must be understood. This article traces the legal and historical roots of the "separation" doctrine in order to add meaningful gloss to the raw words of the Iowa constitutional separation of powers provision and then, within this framework, the article examines the functions of the Budget and Financial Control Committee.

STOCKTON - Three people were arrested, including one for having a loaded, illegally concealed weapon, during a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint conducted by the Stockton Police Department Traffic Unit from Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Officers screened 341 vehicles during the four-hour checkpoint from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near French Camp Turnpike in south Stockton.
Two arrests were for driving under the influence of alcohol and the third was for an unlicensed driver who arrived at the checkpoint and was found to have a loaded firearm on his person.
In addition, 13 drivers were cited or arrested for not having a license or driving with a suspended or revoked license. Thirteen other citations also were issued.
Police will conduct another DUI saturation patrol the weekend of April 25-27 during the Stockton Asparagus Festival in an ongoing commitment to lower deaths and injuries from drunk or drugged drivers.
The checkpoint was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Call 911 to report drunken drivers.

HAYWARD -- Police shot and killed a suspected car thief in a South Hayward residential neighborhood Friday morning.
Police did not release the name, age and hometown of the man who was killed and declined to say how many shots were fired.
At 11:12 a.m., officers responded to reports of a suspicious vehicle -- a dark-colored four-door Honda -- parked near Briergate Way and Vanderbilt Street, said Hayward police Capt. Darryl McAllister. An officer ran the car's license plate and discovered it was stolen from Hayward.
The officer approached the driver and asked him to raise his hands. Police said the man refused to do so and reached for what officers said was a weapon. Officers fired at the man. Police declined to say what type of weapon the man had, but said they are in the process of getting a search warrant to further search the car.
The suspect was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
The shooting happened near Treeview Elementary School, and the school was placed briefly on lockdown, said Hayward police Sgt. Scott Ormsby.
A portion of Vanderbilt was blocked off to traffic, and yellow crime-scene tape surrounded most of the street, including nearby Fairway Greens Park, where children were still playing on swings.
Police are seeking a possible witness who may have left the scene before officers arrived, Ormsby said. The officer who shot the man was placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation continues. He was not injured.
Michael Groves, who lives on Vanderbilt, said he frequently sees what he calls "seedy characters" in the neighborhood, especially close to a nearby park.
"I see people dealing dope there in the playground all the time," said Groves, 63. "It's ridiculous. There are kids there. We know (the police) are busy, but maybe somebody will pay more attention to this area now."
The shooting brought residents out of their homes. They stood behind the yellow crime scene tape, watching detectives survey the area.
It was the second officer-involved shooting in Hayward in less than two weeks.
Edgar Alvarez, a 24-year-old documented gang member from Hayward, was fatally shot by officers Sept. 24 when they said he tried to hit police with his vehicle after allegedly shooting and injuring two people inside Dirty Bird Lounge at 29308 Mission Blvd.
The shooting prompted protests in the city that night, including one that led to the arrest of nearly a dozen people.
That incident began about 12:55 a.m., when officers responded to reports of a shooting at the bar.
Callers said the suspect fled in a dark sedan, which officers later found on westbound Tennyson Road west of Mission.
When officers walked toward the car, the suspect threw the car in reverse, and it lurched toward the officers, police said. The three officers each fired at least one round at the man, who died from the gunshot wounds, police said. Officers later found a handgun in the car, police said.

A number of drugs are unstable in an aqueous environment, even when exposed for a short duration, thus requiring packaging, storage, and shipping in a powder or lyophilized state to keep the product stable during its shelf life. Used for parenteral administration, these drugs are commonly known as powder for injection (PI), powder for reconstitution, dry powder injection, or powder for constitution. USP 29–NF 24 describes more than 100 drugs available as dry powder for injection (1).
Typically, PI drugs are supplied in glass vials with rubber plugs and are mixed or reconstituted with a diluent (usually 5% dextrose solution, normal saline, bacteriostatic water, or sterile water for injection) before administration. An incompletely dissolved product can be hazardous to the patient, thereby making reconstitution a critical performance parameter for these products (1). USP defines the completeness of the reconstitution procedure as the state in which the solid dissolves completely; leaving no visible residue as undissolved matter or the constituted solution is not significantly less clear than an equal volume of the diluent or purified water present in a similar vessel and examined similarly (1). The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q6A guideline on drug specifications recommends that "for dry products for injection, acceptance criteria for redispersibility or reconstitution time should be provided and the procedure for resuspension or reconstitution (mechanical or manual) should be indicated. Time required to achieve resuspension or reconstitution by the indicated procedure should be clearly defined" (2).
Variability in the reconstitution time of a product from the same or different manufacturers can seriously affect patient safety. The mention of a specific reconstitution time in the product literature or label could ensure a reproducible performance of the product in terms of complete reconstitution. Few USP monographs of PIs specify the reconstitution time. For example, the monograph for amifostine sulfate, an anticancer drug, specifies the reconstitution time in 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution to be not more than 45 s (3). Few PI products available in the market mention the time required for their reconstitution either on the label or in the literature supplied with the product. For instance, haemosolvate factor VIII, a glycoprotein necessary for blood clotting and hemostasis, specifies the reconstitution time to be not greater than 30 min. The long reconstitution time required for this product is because reconstitution must be carried out by gentle swirling to avoid foaming and gel formation in the product (4). However, for some drugs such as decitabine hydrochloride, a prolonged reconstitution time might be detrimental to drug stability (5). Therefore, special inputs from formulation scientists are required to optimize the reconstitution time during the development of these dosage forms.
Intrinsic parameters affecting reconstitution time
Intrinsic parameters are inherent to an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or a formulation and include the molecular-, particle-, and bulk-level solid-state properties of the API. Any added excipients also influence the inherent reconstitution properties of the product.
Particle-size distribution. Powder dissolution is a kinetic phenomenon that depends primarily on the surface area exposed to the solvent, which in turn is a function of particle size. Particle size, therefore, influences reconstitution time. Coarser particles lower the dissolution rate because of their lower specific surface area in accordance with the Noyes Whitney equation (6). Conversely, very fine particles agglomerate because they are more cohesive (7) and therefore show longer wetting time, resulting in prolonged reconstitution (8). Therefore, particle size must be optimized and controlled to obtain short and reproducible reconstitution times. Particle shape and size affect the closeness of the powder packing, which in turn affects the penetration of water into interstitial spaces of the powder bed (9). Water penetration promotes wetting of each particle that is required before dissolution. Small particle size and symmetrical shape enhance close packing of particles, thus preventing the required penetration of water. Larger particles are usually more irregular in shape and therefore provide more space in the interstices for wetting.

Do you think he is back playing QB by then? We'll probably play one of LSU, Georgia, Florida, or South Carolina. So I don't know if it's such a sure thing. If in at RB it's more likely he gets 40-50 yards on 10ish carries while the game slowly devolves to Smith/Rawls 1 yard runs and mistimed play actions.

|A lot of snowflakes like this
A lot of snowflakes like this could really be diaries with more work. You could go through the stats of the 2011 team through the same number of games last season. Compare top performers of last year vs this year. Unit vs unit production and see where there is more or less statistical production from last year to this year. That's the kind of thing people coud really have a discussion about. You really just gave your opinion with nothing to build off of.
I think that on offense our receivers/tight ends are more athletic with Funchess and Gardner but less experienced. And therefore more prone to mistakes or a tendency to disappear (i.e. lack of targets or receptions) during a game due to lack of separation. Our line is bigger and more suited to the Borges offense but also less experienced. Denard and the RBs are pretty much the same. If the receivers go with athleticism rather than inexperience and Denard does his thing then this offense is better than last year. That is with regards to potential rather than actual on field performance though.
On defense, our D-line is the new unit and I think that they are also more suited to the Mattison system. Due to the size and athleticism of Campbell and Washington I think they are a better fit against the run because they can effectively occupy the O-line and allow linebackers to flow to the ball. Their inexperience with regards to technique hurts with pass rush though, sometimes also against the run. Mike Martin could just go all beast mode on fools. The loss of Countess hurts but the rest of the defense are the same guys with more experience. Overall, I feel when the D-line does what they are supposed to this years defense is better than last. The pass rush is worse but I think good coverage helps cover up those warts to some degree.
What people said about this being a better team with a worse record seems pretty accurate. However, if the team plays to its potential I think they can definitely run the table.

|Gordon has been playing well
Gordon has been playing well with 13 goals in 23(13 starts) games but there has to be a reason Altidore is left out. This would really hurt his confidence if it's just a case of him not being deemed good enough for the roster. The guy has 8 goals in 6 games in the Eredivisie and he has shown some real class in the games I've seen. Maybe an injury? He did get a red card this weekend but I didn't see any of that game.

|"focus on the plays that are
"focus on the plays that are being called and not on the ones that could hypothetically be called"
The argument is that a defensive player doesn't have that luxury. They have to worry about all of the plays that could hypothetically be called from a given formation. Don't look at bubble screens alone. That's just one play designed to keep the OLB from coming around the end on a blitz so quickly, and keeps things like that fumble from happening.

That's on a designed run. A lot of Denard's good runs come on reads where Fitz isn't blocking for him. I was just saying that Fitz should have at least done better on the read handoffs he received. Denard gives him the ball and options off a defender. At that point on a read play Denard and Fitz have the same blockers vs defenders. That's not a comparison of the two (Denard is obviously a lot better) I'm just saying Fitz was really terrible.

|Exactly. The SS had to run so
Exactly. The SS never had time to establish himself under the ball because had to run so far. When he heard something he thought it was the left fielder calling him off. That doesn't look like an ordinary/easy catch. It looks like an infielder running far into the outfield and then the ball dropping due to miscommunication between the infielder and outfielder.

|Cards fan? The infield fly
Cards fan? The infield fly rule is supposed to be applied to ordinary catches so that you can't intentionally drop an easy catch and get a double/triple play. It was pretty obvious that the shortstop didn't feel comfortable with the catch and miscommunication between him and the left fielder caused the ball to drop. That kind of thing happens all the time.

Hey, that's where I was for my Wife(Girlfriend) Day! People are saying that Georgia has no defense but you can't just look at this game and the boxscore. A pick-six and the two turnovers inside the Georgia 20 which led to Tennessee TD's stopped this from being the blowout it could have been at halftime. Also, what other times can you remember a defense making such good and bad plays in one game? They scored a TD and put the offense in position for two more but also gave up 51 points with some long TD's where they got manhandled. I guess as one annoying woman kept saying near me, "Anythang can happen in the ESS-EEE-CEE!"

In terms of yardage Ohio has the worst defense in the B1G, giving up 394.75 yards/game with 277.25 passing and 117.5 rushing. They're 5th in scoring D giving up 17.3 points/game. They've played four unranked teams with a combined record of 5-9 all at home. Hard to say how this game will go though, seeing as Michigan State can't throw their way out of a wet paper bag. Seems to be strength vs strength with Bell against Ohio's run defense. I say edge Ohio.

|When we ran it against
When we ran it against Minnesota it was on a 2nd and 4 from the 17 at the beginning of the second quarter. Vincent Smith had 3 carries for 19 yards and a TD up to that point, including a 10 yard run on that same drive. There was actually a threat of him running the ball. This was our second drive and Smith had 0 carries. The safety was not thinking "Oh no, a Vincent Smith toss to the outside! He has been gashing us so I'd better come up in support!" Instead he got to be all "Oh wow, Te'o is about to kill this gu...Oh here comes the ball."

|That's the kind of play
That's the kind of play you run on 3rd and short when the D is trying to cheat up and stuff your "obvious" run play. It doesn't make sense to try and trick a defense when your regular plays work fine. And Dileo was NOT wide open for a RB pass play. Did you see this play the last time we ran it? Dileo was wide open then and he still had to drag his feet by the sideline to make the catch from Smith.

Denard threw 291 passes to Tate's 84 in 2010. Tate also had 4 ints so Denard averaged an int every 26.5 passes to Tate's every 21 passes.

|I agree with you that Denard
I agree with you that Denard played terribly. Throwing three consecutive interceptions (the fourth was a hail mary so whatever) is horrible even for a high school QB. I just think that blame can also be put on Borges for play calls that seemed to magnify Denard's weaknesses. How can you not just call a play to complete a screen pass or something and give him some confidence after the first two back-to-back interceptions? Also, does anyone else feel like Denard is scared to take hits in the pocket? There are plenty of times it seems like he can step into a pass and take the hit but instead throws with his feet sideways. The guy runs with no fear but throws like he is scared out of his mind.

|I agree that there are plenty
I agree that there are plenty of times where poor play can be blamed on poor execution by the players. However, looking at these plays what happens if they are executed perfectly? The interception plays where Denard has pressure in his face immediately he basically just needs to take a sack. While not even near as bad as an int that is still not a good outcome. The Smith pass play made absolutely no sense. Smith had no carries up to that point and is Michigan's blocking back so the DBs were looking more for pass than run. And when it turned out to be a run they still weren't going to come up fast because they have Te'o playing LB.

|You could really collect more
You could really collect more excerpts and links and make a diary out of it. And maybe compare and contrast opinions. This is just a "Joe Cowley's Opinion" thread. Also, he says that Denard should have left when Hoke became the head coach. Well, Michigan and Denard won a BCS bowl last year so that is really stupid.

THE NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND d ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD RESERVATION 15 C HARKOOSTA Volume 4 • Number 4 FULL MOON OF THE CAMAS June 15,1974 Council Approves 1975 Budget of $681,053. Dixon: Inflation and higher operating expenses were responsible for a nearly $200,000 increase in the tribal operating budget for fiscal year 1975 (July 1 , 19 7 4 to June 30, 1975). The total budget package approved by the Council for the coming year is $ 6 81 ,0 5 3. This is an increase of $ 18 0,416 over the FY 1974 figure of $490,637. The new budget was passed by the Council during a meeting May 30, with only one dissenting vote. Councilman Fred Whitworth, Arlee, said that the new budget "flew in the face" of the 9 0 -percent distribution mandate of the people of the Tribe and pointed out several areas where he felt costs could be cut. Whitworth noted particularly that increases in administrative salaries and Law and Order and Tribal Court expenses were "too fat." However, Councilman Tom Pablo, Hot Springs, said that the budget was "as tight as we could make it without depriving the people of essential services." Pablo, a member of the Council's Administration Committee which has the responsibility of drawing up the budget, said that across-the-board increases in equipment and administration costs were to blame for the higher budget. "Every business and governmental unit in the country is having the same problem", he explained, "The fact is, it is costing more just to tread water." He said the new budget offers essentially the same package of services as the 1974 budget....multiplied by the enormous rise in the cost of living. Tribal Secretary Fred Houle Jr., said that although the budget is higher this year, so is the estimated income from tribal resources. Houle said that income for FY 1975 has been conservatively estimated at $ 4,9 4 3.511, up from the 1974 estimate of $ 4,8 8 3,4 9 9. Houle also pointed out that the 197 4 estimate turned out to be extremely cautious because the actual receipts for the year will amount to nearly $6,297,928. Houle also noted that even based on the conservative projections for income in 1975, "the budget is not all that bad." "The budget is 13.7 7 percent of the estimated income. The income is only an estimate and could be higher and some of the costs will be offset by federal grants which could reduce the percentage to ten percent or less. " All three main categories in the tribal budget show substantial increases for 1975. Tribal operations, the business of running the tribes government and business, ,is up over $70 thousand. Operations, which includes most staff salaries, Tribal Council salaries and expenses and legal fees, will cost $358,519 this year, compared to $288,010 last year. Community Services, which includes Law and Order, Tribal Court, Commodities (or Food Stamps), education and employment and burials, is up nearly $88,000 from$164,7 07 to $251,641. Resource management, which includes buildings and utilities and the Tribal Realty office, jumped nearly $18,000 with a 1975 figure of $52,543 compared to $34,420. Projected income for 1975 is based primarily on forestry revenue. The estimated income for sales of 5 7 -million board feet of timber for the year was set at $3,52 8,000. Forestry income, which is by far the largest wad in the tribal bankroll, is almost impossible to guess accurately. The 1974 budget estimated that logging sales would kick $3,500,000 into the tribal coffers....actual receipts for the year, however, amounted to $6,297,928. The difference between estimated and actual forestry income is based on timber market fluctuation. Other major contributors to tribal revenues are the lease (Cont. on page 3) see....BUDGET BPA Utility, Tribe Still Deadlocked on Easement Dixon: The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has lost two rounds of negotiations with the Tribal Council for easements to improve their Hot Springs to Hungry Horse transmission lines....a third round of bargaining has been set for June 13. The giant bureaucratic agency ,which operates severpl electrical generating facilities on the Columbia River drainage and sells their power to local utilities, has encountered a strong resistance from the Tribal Council on leases of right of ways. The utility says it needs 7.2 5 acres of existing BIA access roads to improve the service on their Dayton to Hungry Horse 230 kila-volt line. Otto Kassner, a realty officer for BPA, appeared before the Council for the second time May 31 to sweeten the pot for the northern reservation right of way the utility says it needs. Kassner told the Council that construction on the existing lines would include the repositioning of 18 towers, ad dition of three, installation of a new line and replacement of conductors. He said the work could be done by using the utility's current right of way agreement but "it would substantially increase our costs." He said that the additional road right of ways would be necessary to facilitate the new construction and provide maintenance access. Kassner opened the second round by making the same (Cont. on page 3) see.....POWER LINES

Murphy to be inducted into softball hall of fame
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 2:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 2:29 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Patrick Murphy had already had a good year, coaching the University of Alabama softball team to the 2012 national championship.
It got better last weekend, when Murphy learned that he will be inducted into the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame next December. To top it off, Murphy and his support staff were honored as Division I National Coaching Staff of the Year.
"This was all a surprise," Murphy said. "I told the staff if anyone wanted to put up a dollar I'd go buy the lottery ticket. On top of that, Alabama won (the Southeastern Conference Championship Game in football) on Saturday, so it was a great weekend for Alabama.
"It's a great honor, probably the highest honor you can have as a college softball coach."
Murphy will be inducted at the NFCA convention in San Antonio. Murphy has gone 772-218 in 15 years as a head coach, winning 78 percent of his games, and is 744-198 in 14 years at Alabama for a winning rate of 79 percent. He has taken UA to the Women's College World Series eight times, including three straight trips to the semifinal round before this year's national championship run. He is the outgoing president of the NFCA.
"Coach Murphy is a deserving inductee into the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame," said Mal Moore, UA director of athletics. "Patrick has built one of the best softball programs in the country, virtually from the ground up. His commitment to his players has extended far beyond simply developing them as excellent softball players, but has helped them reach their goals academically and in other facets of their lives. I couldn't be more proud of the job that Patrick has done for Alabama over the years. He is truly worthy of this honor."
Murphy recently celebrated his 47th birthday, making him a young candidate for Hall of Fame honors.
"I'm lucky I got to start as a head coach at a younger age," he said. "I guess that would explain it."
Murphy was joined by assistant coaches Alyson Habetz and Stephanie VanBrakle, volunteer assistant Adam Arbour, student assistant Whitney Larsen and director of operations Kate Harris in receiving the coaching staff honor.
So how does one top a year that includes Hall of Fame honors, a national staff award and a national championship?
"Win another one," Murphy said.

Sections of Two Roads Closed for Emergency Repairs
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 4:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 4:02 p.m.
BARTOW | Two roads in Polk County have been closed for emergency repairs, the Polk County Transportation Division has announced.
County Road 54, Ronald Reagan Parkway, has been closed about 600 feet east of Old Kissimmee Road for emergency repairs to a broken reclaimed water main in the westbound travel lane.
Westbound traffic approaching work zone will be routed to the inside east bound travel lane. This will cause the eastbound lanes to be two-way traffic until traffic can be safely separated west of the work zone.
Utility crews will work through the night to repair break and open both sides of CR 54 as soon as possible.
Foxtown North, in the Green Swamp area of unincorporated Polk City, is closed today and Tuesday to replace a large cross drain beneath roadway. Traffic will be detoured at Slaughterhouse Road.
Motorists are advised to use caution, be alert to workers and obey signs directing traffic.
For more information, contact Bill Skelton with the Polk County Transportation Division at 863- 535-2200.

Suzanne Paradis (Brandeis University)
MolBio Seminar Series
Suzanne Paradis
Dr. Paradis received her BA from Cornell University and her PhD in Genetics from Harvard Medical School. Her thesis research, performed in the laboratory of Dr. Gary Ruvkun, investigated the genetic program that regulates lifespan in the nematode C. elegans. During her postdoctoral fellowship in the lab of Dr. Michael Greenberg at Harvard Medical School, she pioneered the use of RNAi in cultured hippocampal neurons to identify new molecules required for synapse formation. Her own lab at Brandeis University focuses on how intact circuits form in the mammalian CNS by defining the genes that instruct neurons to modify their synaptic connections and dendritic morphology in response to changes in sensory experience.
Signaling Pathways that Instruct Rapid Changes in Neuronal Connectivity
The overall structure and function of circuits in the central nervous system is established by a variety of carefully orchestrated processes, including the formation of synapses and the morphogenesis of the dendritic arbor of individual neurons. Further, while it is well-established that sensory experience sculpts connections in the nervous system, it is not at all understood how this is accomplished at the molecular level. My lab focuses on identifying and defining the function of genes that regulate neuronal connectivity and structural plasticity both in the context of changes in sensory experience and nervous system development. We recently discovered that the activity-dependent expression of the GTPase Rem2 functions as a critical regulator of activity-dependent dendritic branching, as dialing Rem2 expression up or down in the context of increased sensory experience in an intact circuit decreases or increases dendritic branching accordingly. Overall, our studies of Rem2 reveal a previously unappreciated signaling paradigm whereby increased neuronal activity simultaneously initiates signal transduction networks that either promote or restrict dendritic arborization. In addition, our studies of synapse formation revealed that treatment of cultured neurons with the extracellular domain of the protein Sema4D causes a rapid increase (i.e. within 2 hours) in the density of functional GABAergic synapses. Using an organotypic hippocampal slice culture as an in vitro model of epileptiform activity, we demonstrated that acute Sema4D treatment rapidly and dramatically alters the hyperexcitability found in these slices in a manner consistent with a Sema4D-mediated increase in network inhibition. Our studies suggest the tantalizing possibility that Sema4D, as well as other molecules that instruct formation of GABAergic synapses, could be used as a disease-modifying treatment for epilepsy.

A whimsical rendition of "Snow White" comes to the Riverwalk Center Tuesday for the final performance of the 2012 Imagination Express kids' series, presented by the Town of Breckenridge.
The interactive theatrical family production involves participation by audience members, some of whom are selected to play specific parts onstage with costumes and props, though "the emphasis is placed on the entire audience participating with sound effects, gestures and songs," master storyteller Pamela Clifton said.
Clifton's company, The Playmakers, has offered touring plays and educational workshops since 1981, primarily during the school year when they visit schools around Colorado.
"I have been coming to Breckenridge each summer for about seven years," Clifton said. Recent productions have included "Alice in Wonderland," "Treasure Island" and "Jack and the Beanstalk."
The twist on "Snow White" features "talking rabbits, a nervous mirror and a whole new set of dwarves, including Dirty Dwarf! The whole family will delight in this whimsical version, especially when they find themselves as part of the show," organizers said.
Formerly known as Kidz Calliope, Imagination Express is an affordable family series featuring a variety of performances highlighting top acts in children's entertainment. It is sponsored by the Summit Daily News, Beaver Run Resort, Colorado Mountain Express, Parent's Handbook to Summit County, TV8 Summit and LIFT 106.

Tax reform raises questions
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 12:21 a.m.
The buzz in the media and governmental circles focuses on the yet undefined composition of Gov. Bobby Jindal's tax reform proposal for the legislative session that begins April 8.
The plan is still in the conceptual stage. The governor and his key operatives indicate it will focus on removing the personal and corporate income taxes along with the corporate franchise tax. To offset the $3 billion loss of revenue (and here is where the proposal remains murky), they propose an increase in the sales tax and removal of some as yet unidentified exemptions, deductions, credits and exclusions.
The Jindal administration indicates they are using Texas as a model for their approach. Texas has no personal income tax. It does, however, have much higher property taxes than Louisiana, which allows local governments in the Lone Star State to fund their expenditures without relying on state assistance to the degree local governments in Louisiana do. Texas' sales taxes — state and local combined — are also lower than those collected in Louisiana. Texas has no corporate income tax or corporate franchise tax, but it does collect other business taxes not collected in Louisiana.
What elements the governor eventually places in his tax reform package will obviously be of great interest to individuals, businesses and local governments. In some discussions, Jindal administration representatives indicated the state sales tax rate would increase by 1.6 cents above the 4-cent level. That wouldn't come close to raising $3 billion. One of the items hinted as being a vehicle to make up a significant amount of the remaining revenue hole is collecting the sales taxes on services not being taxed. That can be done by targeting a large raft of services that garner relatively small amounts of revenue each or a few that would raise significant sums of money. Politically, it would be more expedient to do the latter. Another likely goal of the administration's tax reform effort would be to end some of the state obligations to local government funding by allowing the local governments to also tax any services included in the proposal.
Beyond the question of what is going to be taxed and what taxes are going to be removed, another important question is what structure will the legislative proposal take? Will it be one bill encompassing all elements or many bills in a loosely related package? That will be an important consideration. The legislation to increase taxes will take a two-thirds vote and will be the hardest part of the package to achieve. Will the governor put as much emphasis on securing the votes to raise taxes as he does on the tax repeal portions of the package? Without a strong push from the governor for all of the elements of the proposal it will be very difficult to get 70 votes in the House and 26 in the Senate.
Finally, the governor has said economic development is the major thrust behind this effort. Almost $70 billion in new plant locations in Louisiana have been announced and are on the books. Two of the most frequently rumored services that are likely to be candidates for sales tax levies are construction and oilfield services. Have the companies which have announced the plant locations (largely due to the availability of low natural gas prices) figured a 10 cent or higher combined state and local sales tax into their investment plans for Louisiana? If such a levy comes to pass it could have significant economic development consequences on its own.
Much is yet to be learned about Jindal's tax reform plan. Many questions need to be answered and, no doubt, many more questions will arise going forward. How those questions are resolved will have a great impact on how the vote count will shape up come April.
Dan Juneau is president of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry.

July 10, 2013, is the deadline for the Twin Pike Family YMCA to complete the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Challenge Grant, according to YMCA Executive Director Marsha Garrison.
For the past 12 months, the Y's board of directors, fund-raising committee and staff have been working to raise $1.25 million dollars. These funds are about one-third of the $3.85 million estimated construction cost for the YMCA Phase III Project to build an indoor aquatics center and walking track.
Garrison explained that the $1.25 million is the amount stipulated by the Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Okla., that the Twin Pike Family YMCA must raise in order to receive a $500,000 donation from the Foundation. The $500,000 grant is the final amount needed to complete fund-raising on the project, said Garrison.
A public announcement concerning the outcome of the challenge grant will be made at 9 a.m. Monday, July 15. The announcement will be made at the Twin Pike Family YMCA, 614 Kelly Lane, in Louisiana.
Of the funds raised, approximately $60,000 has been in the form of in-kind services.

How does someone steal two tractor-trailers and 10 John Deere tractors loaded up on them?
It happened at the Tennant Truck Lines located off of Sudan Drive in Columbia County.
News 12's Domonique Benn finds out why there is such a big market for equipment theft.
A load of John Deere tractors on a flatbed truck is worth about $150,000.
Jim Williamson of TMC, a trucking company out of Martinez, is in charge of making sure this equipment leaves with the right person.
"We had a tractor stolen here five years ago," says Williamson.
That's what happened at Tennant Truck Lines on Sunday.
Tennant is also a holding lot for John Deere tractors.
Thieves made off with two tractor-trailers and 10 tractors estimated at $300,000.
It's big business moving along the interstate.
"Apparently there have been some thefts up and down the interstate both I-20 and I-95," says Capt. Steve Morris of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.
People who work in this business every day moving these tractors say when they are stolen it's almost always an inside job or someone who knows the business. That's because there's a specific way the equipment has to be chained.
"They broke up a big lot in South Georgia a year ago I think it was," says Williamson.
And now the owner of Tennant Truck Lines is wondering how $300,000 in equipment disappeared from the lot.
The two tractor-trailers have been recovered in Valley, Alabama.
That's about three hours from Augusta, right off of I-85.
The 10 tractors are still missing.
The sheriff's office is confident they will make an arrest and recover most if not all of the tractors.
