ALS facts
ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and is often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease" after the famous New York Yankee baseball player who died from ALS in 1941.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death.
ALS is not contagious.
ALS is responsible for nearly two deaths per hundred thousand population in the United States every year.
About 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. The incidence of ALS is two per 100,000 people, and it is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans may have the disease at any given time.
Although the life expectancy of an ALS patient is typically two to five years from the time of diagnosis, this disease is variable, and many people live with quality for five years and more. More than half of all patients live more than three years after diagnosis.
ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic or socioeconomic boundaries.
The onset of ALS is insidious with muscle weakness or stiffness as early symptoms. Progression of weakness, wasting and paralysis of the muscles of the limbs and trunk as well as those that control vital functions such as speech, swallowing and later breathing generally follows.
There can be significant costs for medical care, equipment and home health care needs later in the disease. It is important to be knowledgeable about your health plan coverage and other programs for which your may be eligible, including SSA, Medicare, Medical and Veteran Affairs benefits.
Riluzole, the first treatment to alter the course of ALS, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1995. This antiglutamate drug was shown scientifically to prolong the life of persons with ALS by at least a few months. More recent studies suggest that Riluzole slows the progress of ALS, allowing the patient more time in the higher functioning states when their function is less affected by ALS.
Reports from three patient databases described long-range experience with Riluzole. All three reports suggest a trend of increasing survival with Riluzole over time. More studies that are double-blind and controlled are needed to confirm these database observations.

"He was the perfect Santa," said Jennifer Keevern, of his natural white beard, rosy cheeks and blue eyes matching his jovial disposition. "I immediately knew, 'This is OUR Santa.'"
Like Santa on Facebook
The friends and family of Joe Darnell have set up a Facebook page for him and invite people to post photographs. Go to www.facebook.com/SantaJoe.
In 2010, the family returned to Northwoods with a new addition, Owen, then again in 2011.
In 2012, their Santa wasn't at Northwoods. A different man was sitting in Santa's chair.
"I walked in the doors and looked for him and I was upset," recalled Keevern, adding that the family opted to go to another Santa Claus for a family picture.
It still wasn't the same.
Last February, Keevern, a physical therapist at the Medical University of South Carolina, met with a couple, a man with ALS, or "Lou Gehrig's Disease," and his wife, who live in Goose Creek.
"I looked at him and he looked so familiar. I started talking to his wife and she mentioned that he used to be Santa Claus. My heart sank. I said to him, 'I know you! You're my Santa!'?"
Following the therapy session, she admitted, "I wept."
Joe's calling
Joe Darnell worked at Cummins Engine for 32 years before retiring a few years ago. His longevity and loyalty at work was trumped only by his commitment to the love of his life, Debbie. The couple began dating when they were 15 years old. They were married in 1970.
In 2008, a year after Debbie retired from BellSouth, she decided to go back to work, and urged Joe to do so too. When a sales clerk at Dillard's mentioned that Joe would make a good Santa Claus, Debbie decided that was going to be Joe's new job, even though he was more than OK being retired.
"I marched him down to that (mall) office and it was like I was taking a misbehaving kid to the principal's office," said Debbie. "He was walking about 30 or 40 yards behind me. He's like, 'I'm happy doing what I'm doing, so why are you doing this to me?'?"
But Joe, who was 6-foot-1 and 285 pounds at the time, turned out to be a natural.
Cherry Hill Photo, which specializes in photos with Santa in regional malls, immediately found him a fill-in job in Columbia and gave him a Santa training manual.
"He was an absolute nervous wreck on the way up there," recalls Debbie. "He was reading that book and practicing while I was driving. But the minute he put on the Santa suit, it was the most natural thing for him. Joe has always been basically very reserved, but he put on that Santa suit and was a whole different person."
Afterward, while visiting relatives in Greenville, he got the call that a mall in Durham, N.C., needed a Santa. He drove back to Charleston, packed his Santa gear, and immediately headed to Durham, getting there at 1 a.m.
In 2009 Joe got the Santa gig at Northwoods and held it for the following two years, working often nonstop from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the season.
And while many might want a break from that seemingly exhausting role, once Joe got the Santa bug, he kept the long white beard and often dressed in red year-round. On a cruise in October 2010, people stopped Joe dozens of times to get a photo with Santa on vacation.
"Being Santa was his true calling in life," said Debbie. "It was an honor for him to brighten the day of others. ... Children would come up to him year-round and he would remind them to be nice because he's watching."
Debbie herself reveled in Joe's experiences. Sometimes she would go to the mall and just watch him with the kids.
"The one thing that I admired so much about him is that he just had a calmness and sweet demeanor and knew exactly what to say to the children," she said.
"Even though he worked for a company that wanted to make money with the photos, that didn't matter to him. He took his time with each child, regardless. And if there was a line, then so be it, he wasn't rushing any child off his lap."
Joe would come home and share stories that would make both of them laugh and cry, such as the little girl who told him that what she wanted for Christmas was to have Santa "bring my mother back from heaven."
Debbie added, "There were a lot of funny ones too, like the child who warned Santa "not to give the reindeer chocolates because it would make them 'f-a-r-t.'?"
Trouble surfaces
Joe Darnell had planned to be Santa for the rest of his life. It was something he loved doing and was just starting to do when one of the most insidious diseases to strike human beings showed its first signs in April 2011.
Debbie noticed that Joe's legs, which has been rock-solid since his days of playing high school football, were starting to get smaller. Joe himself noticed weakness in his upper body.
Debbie, whose stepfather died of ALS 22 years ago, secretly feared the worst.
There is no test to diagnose ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
According to the ALS Association, as motor neurons degenerate, they no longer can send impulses to the muscle fibers that normally result in muscle movement.
Early symptoms of ALS often include increasing muscle weakness, especially involving the arms and legs, speech, swallowing or breathing. When muscles no longer receive the messages from the motor neurons that they require to function, the muscles begin to atrophy (become smaller). Limbs begin to look thinner as muscle tissue atrophies.
When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death.
Diagnosis usually takes place when all other diseases are ruled out.
"When (medical experts) say all your tests are negative, that's not good because it means it's ALS. Negative tests defaults to ALS," said Debbie, who noted that early tests on Joe ruled out problems such as poor bone density.
"I prayed and prayed and prayed to please not be ALS, and one day I was in the shower and I just knew. I started praying, 'Please help me get through it.'?"
While not officially being diagnosed with ALS during Christmas of 2011, Joe endured symptoms, including losing nearly 70 pounds, to be Santa for one season.
"He managed to be Santa in 2011 only through sheer determination. I could tell he was not well. Before he could come home at night, Joe had to sit in the car for 15 minutes because he was so worn out."
February 2012
The official diagnosis of ALS came two months later.
While his decline continued, Joe was still able to walk with the aid of a wheeled walker the rest of the year, but the first Christmas after ALS was a challenge for him and Debbie.
"It was terrible for everyone. And it still is hard," said Debbie, adding that she was tempted not to put up Christmas decorations. "If it were not for him and his love for Christmas, I wouldn't have done it. I asked him and he said bring them out."
A year after the diagnosis, Joe started having problems breathing. They had to decide whether to put him on a ventilator or let nature run its course. Debbie recalled Joe saying he just wanted a couple more years.
She added that the trip to the hospital last February was the last time Joe walked. Today, Joe, who just turned 62, can barely talk.
"It's so sad, so incredibly sad. 'Heartbreaking' is the word I use because it's the only word that can describe my feelings. To see this man I love and see just a little bit of him go every day, it's hard," said Debbie, adding that Joe was a "caring, wonderful husband and father" who didn't deserve such a fate.
"As the caregiver, I pray for strength. I thank God every night that he got me through the day and that he gets me through tomorrow. I used to cry over Lassie. I'm just so emotional, but the strength I've gotten has been remarkable. Still, it's a hard journey."
Because of the difficulty Joe has speaking, he uses a bell to get Debbie's attention when he needs help. Debbie, who sleeps on the sofa next to Joe's bed in the living room, admits that "sometimes that bell drives me nuts," and that she'll even dream about hearing it at night.
"Last night, I had just got settled in and the bell rang. I thought, 'Oh my gosh, what, what, what?' I went over to him and all he wanted was to hug and kiss me. And I thought, 'How can I feel so bad about that bell now when that was what he wanted?'?"
The fight continues
As research for a cure continues, those who must endure ALS, like the Darnells, get help from the ALS Association, which offers support groups for "pALS" (people with ALS) and "cALS" (caregivers).
Dorian Jeffcoat, care services coordinator with the Charleston-based South Carolina chapter of the ALS Association, said the Darnells have been an inspiration to the local ALS community.
"Since our first meeting, Joe has always had a smile on his face, and even though ALS may have robbed him of his speech, it did not take away his positive spirit and his infectious smile," said Jeffcoat, underscoring the importance of having a support community.
"This disease can be very isolating and make one feel as if they have been forgotten, but knowing when you pick up the phone there will be someone on the other end to listen, to provide words of encouragement, to provide direction and to provide the resources needed when traveling along this ALS journey brings about a sense of ongoing support and knowing that you are not alone."

With all the talk about supporting our troops, there is one place in Tomahawk that is doing more than talk.
The Barber shop in the hotel gives a Military discount to all current and retired military.
All you need to do is show a military ID. As far as I know that is the only place in the area that is doing this. I think it is a really nice gesture on the part of the barber to do this and show our troops that she cares.

MARTINSBURG - Funding for upcoming renovations to Martinsburg-Berkeley County Parks and Recreation's Ambrose Park continues to increase through both private donations and community grants as the start date for construction looms near.
With hope for a mild winter, Steve Catlett, executive director, projects renovations to begin this November. While original projections set spring as a tentative completion date, Catlett now predicts the park to be updated by early- to mid-summer.
Restoration initiatives include renovating the park's restrooms and installing new playground equipment with the capacity to handle approximately 50 children. Funds for those improvements will partly come from a $14,500 Community Partnership Grant recently released for use.
One acre of the 4.3-acre park will be transformed into a community dog park. Funding for the the county's first dog park will be primarily funded through private donations.
While Catlett does not have a current estimate of how much private donations have been pledged, he is in discussion to "potentially receive serious funds."
"We have so much interest in this, it's unbelievable. I hope to maybe use up to $100,000 (for the dog park)," Catlett said. "We think the usage of this park will just be tenfold in the future, once it is complete."
While renovation plans for Ambrose Park gain momentum, progress for the Randy Smith Center in Inwood has stalled for the past several months, pushing back the opening date from winter 2012 to spring 2013.
"We've been awaiting the metal to arrive onsite ... the metal should arrive by Oct. 21. Once the metal arrives, this should start to go up vertically and people will get excited about it," Catlett said.
"I keep telling people the good thing is we are going to have a facility, something that's been dreamed about for the past several decades - a facility in south Berkeley County," he said.
Anticipating increased usage of Parks and Recreation services due to renovations to existing systems and the construction of a new facility, the organization recently debuted a new website, designed to be more user-friendly.
"It's amazing, even though our office is busy, how many people are registering online nowadays," Catlett said.

The 5 Most Unsettling Trending Topics About Justin Bieber
#2. We Will Never Let Justin Go
What It's Really Saying:
Let's say they do grow frustrated when you don't turn out to be perfect, Darth Biebz. It will be OK! This is one of those "problems" that every couple has -- especially the ones who have never met! Their uncomfortably close love will heal the rift by forgiving you, and then reconciling at you twice as hard. Thankfully, Ms. Curry and I don't have these woes, because I'm cool with her never letting me go.
Michael Buckner/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty
And I, in turn, refuse to let this joke go.
Maybe It's Just Zealous Fans:
You know that bit in The Crush when Alicia Silverstone flips out and destroys Cary Elwes' home? Me neither. Nobody saw The Crush. But if they had, your fans would recognize that it's make or break time -- they either admit that they were a little overexcited or they plunk down every last one of your mental chips and tell the croupier to put it all on crazy. I say go ahead and do the latter, Beliebers! You've already boiled the bunny; might as well pluck the meat from its bones.
P.S. Cary Elwes, you scamp! You have not aged a day since 1993!
Can This Hashtag Propel Bieber to Godhood?
We'll use their redoubled affection to ratchet up your legend. Hear me, O pathetic mortals! You must live for Bieber! Die for Bieber! Bieber is the dark revelation! Bieber is your soul's aching secret! When you wake up in a wet spot with tears still stinging your eyes, it is BIEBER's disappointed face acid-etched onto your retinas! Let us speak in one trembling voice: Bieber is all! Bieber is the omega! Bieber is! Bieber Is! Bieber! Is! BIEBER! IS!
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Ent./Getty Images
And what good is a savior without an agent provocateur?
#1. RIP Justin Bieber
What It's Really Saying:
After eight months of increasingly unhealthy trends, Twitter concluded the Bieber god cycle with a ritual sacrifice.
Maybe It's Just Zealous Fans:
So we've given our all to our idol, and some part of us still rings empty. Well, nothing for it but to turn the emptiness inward! Ever considered cutting? I would never advocate mutilating oneself, but if it were a way to finally be able to feel something ... God, can you imagine how good that would be, taking control of your pain? Hold on, I'm going to try it-
Guys, that was NOTHING like the fantasy. Alright, plan B: If you can't control your own destruction, destroy what defines you.
Can This Hashtag Propel Bieber to Godhood?
Don't worry if Twitter's trying to kill you, Jay-Jay Biebray-bray. The Bible tells us that the Beast will suffer a fatal wound, but it won't kill him right away. Whether it's Neo or Aslan, every messiah -- even a false one -- must be sacrificed to attain his full powers. It would be rude not to. In fact -- these Curry jokes. I love them, but they have to go.
Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
It is survived by my uninformed lust.
It's one thing to destroy that which you love. It's quite another to claim that its death saved you. For some reason, people really appreciate your suffering the penalties of their screw-ups for them.
But death is not the end. Like any respectable deity, the myth of the Boy King renews itself. Like the snake shedding its skin, the light-bringer of pop music will return with a new haircut. We are told that the Beast "once was, now is not, and yet will come."
Ryland Sanders, Church Sign Maker
So plainly, there's a precedent.
In conclusion: A non-Belieber would no doubt say that you aren't the Beast, m'lord, and that you seem like nothing more than a nice young man who makes tolerably bland music. And that objective critic would then be slapped to death by offended Beliebers. But with his last breath, he'd manage to croak, "If you're standing next to Usher and he's the second-least-substantial musician in the video, it's time to bite the head off a bat."
Yeah, that's what an impartial observer would declare. But those of us who have accepted Bieber into our hearts know a deeper truth, inviolable to facts. Therefore the time has come to leave our computers and be with him.

My recent column on life after death for our souls generated many comments. Some Catholics, like F., of Idaho, gently tweaked me:
"I'm sure not the only one to tell you this, but your (statement about) purgatory was way off base. Catholicism has not "backed off its view" in that regard. Please see the CCC 1030-1032. You may need to fire those "Catholic" advisers you have and get a new bunch. Please use the CCC first and then direct questions to knowledgeable Catholics. This is an outlier. You have done great and we look forward to each column."
Dear F.: Thank you for your gentle reminder that I should stick to answering questions about kosher chickens! My comments about recent Catholic teachings, actually the teaching of Pope Benedict XVI, were based on a report from CNS (Catholic News Service) about the Pope's remarks at his weekly general audience Jan. 12, 2011, where he was speaking about the mystical writings of St. Catherine of Genoa.
Although St. Catherine is the author of a "Treatise on Purgatory," Pope Benedict said, "she never received specific revelations about purgatory or the souls that are being purified there." Rather, her deep prayer and focus on the conflict between human sin and God's love led her to understand how logically a person who has sinned would not be worthy to be in the presence of an all-loving, all-perfect God, the pope said. Unlike most Catholics of her day, he said, she was convinced purgatory "was not a place, but a process."
"The soul that is aware of the immense love and perfect justice of God consequently suffers for not having responded correctly and perfectly to that love," the pope said, adding that "the suffering is purgatory."
So, my dear F., even though purgatory clearly remains a firm belief, particularly of the Catholic Church, it may perhaps now be imagined more as a state of suffering rather than a place of suffering.
There has been a more substantial change in the theology of the Catholic Church regarding the judgment of unbaptized souls after death. It is the belief in "limbo" as a place for unbaptized babies. On April 20, 2007, the Vatican's International Theological Commission released a report arguing that "there was good reason to hope unbaptized babies who die go to heaven," according to CNS. I was, of course, not consulted on this statement but I endorse its humanity and compassion completely.
I strongly believe that our souls go through a kind of spiritual debriefing about their embodied life here on earth. As a Jew, I believe that the book of the good and bad deeds of my dear father, Sol, was closed when he died, but not completely.
In accordance with the teachings of Judaism, I believe that when I said the prayer for the dead called the kaddish every day for almost a year after my father's death, whatever merit attached to the saying of that prayer worked to the benefit of his soul during his judgment time in the World to Come. My father taught me this prayer, and so it is to his credit, even after death.
In any event, I may be a rabbi, but I believe our souls are indeed judged. I deeply admire and respect the teachings of Catholicism … and it all began with my dear friend Father Tom Hartman.
From M.G.: I appreciate the lesson of Hurricane Sandy, which is as powerful and as simple as its winds and rain: We do not master nature! In a world where darkness, cold and heat are nothing to most of us in our snug cocoons, it's important to occasionally be humbled.
I invite you to take comfort from the words of God to Elijah in 1 Kings 19:11-12 (KJV):
"And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and break in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."
Dear God, may we all be given the grace to hear your voice through all the storms of our lives. Amen.

OLEAN – Iona has a pedestrian record — one that suggests a long, drawn-out winter for the Gaels — yet the way they played Monday at St. Bonaventure is an indication of good things to come.
The defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular season champions, put on a torrid shooting display and pounded the Bonnies, 93-74, Monday afternoon in front of 3,472 at the Reilly Center. The Gaels (6-6) drilled 13 of 27 three-pointers, including 10 of 16 in final 20 minutes to gain separation from the Bonnies (7-5).
St. Bonaventure, playing for the first time since a Dec. 22 loss at North Carolina State, suffered its worst home defeat since Feb. 13 against Richmond (68-49), and Iona scored the most points against the Bonnies at home since Saint Joseph's tallied 98 on Jan. 10, 2009.
"They played their 'A' game and we played our 'C' game, and that's what happens," St. Bonaventure coach Mark Schmidt said. "We missed a lot of layups early and that fed into their offensive game, and it got us down a little bit and we didn't defend the way we needed to defend."
Certainly not on Sean Armand, who came into the game ranked seventh in the country in three-pointers made. He whistled in a game-high 27 points on 7 of 14 from downtown. The Bonnies also had trouble keeping up with Lamont Jones, the nation's fifth-leading scorer, who dropped in 23 including 3 of 5 from long range. There were others who helped in the blowout.
Taaj Ridley and David Laury each had 13 points and A.J. English scored 11, all the second half when the Gaels knocked down 8 of their first 10 threes. The 6-foot-8 Laury, who couldn't play in the first semester because of NCAA eligibility regulations, averaged 20.7 points in his first three games this season. Iona lacked a quality big man but now that Laury will draw attention away from the Gaels shooters, Jones, Armand and the others will get more clean looks like they did against St. Bonaventure. Having a player with Laury's skill set could mean a shot at another MAAC title.
Of course, Iona's bread and butter is its three-point shooting as the Gaels rank No. 1 nationally in attempts per game (26.0) and second in three-pointers made per game (9.4).
"I think lately we've been working a lot on shooting and coach [Tim Cluess] has been putting a lot of emphasis on getting our shot back and I think everybody has taken heed to it," Jones said. "They make it mandatory that we get our shots up every day and it's paying off."
It certainly did against the Bonnies, who played without Matthew Wright. The junior guard suffered a foot injury during the team's walk-through on Sunday. Wright dressed for the game but Schmidt said the foot was too sore for him to play. Also, Chris Johnson, the team's leading scorer at 13.7 points a game, played 24 minutes off the bench but was just 3 of 12 from the floor and finished with nine points. Johnson played with a sore back but Schmidt kept him out of the starting lineup because he missed a practice after being delayed returning from a day off because of the weather.
The only player who got going offensively was Demitrius Conger with a season-high 26 points, one off his career high, to go with eight rebounds and two blocks. He was the only Bonnies player in double figures.
St. Bonaventure trailed, 40-31, at the half but enjoyed a quick start to the second half and trimmed Iona's lead to two after a basket by Marquise Simmons. Soon after, the Gaels percolated.
Jones hit a trey to give Iona a 50-42 lead and after a layup by Ridley, Laury followed with a basket and added a pair of free throws. Then Armand hit a three. Then another. He finally missed one but English connected on one. Then Armand again. Then English. English and Laury scored two-pointers and Armand hit a long three-pointer.
Iona led, 78-58, and the damage was done.
"It's tough for the simple fact they hit so many threes … the score said it all," Conger said. "It's just something we have to come back to practice the next day and work on."
Said Schmidt: "It's like anything — once you make a couple, the rim gets bigger."
As did the Bonnies' deficit.

text: On behalf of the International Myeloma Foundation, I would like to thank you for your support and update you on our progress with the IMF's research project, Bank On A Cure®. This past year has been very busy. There are two labs that process the DNA samples and are doing the studies: one in the UK and the other in the US. Our two Co-Chairs are Dr. Brian Van Ness, Head of the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development, whose lab is in Minneapolis, and Dr. Gareth Morgan, Head of the Myeloma Group at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. All of the data-gathering and statistical analysis is being conducted by John Crowley's group, CRAB (Cancer Research and Biostatistics). CRAB is highly respected throughout the world for their myeloma expertise and sophisticated data analysis. We also are pleased to announce that Dr. Dalsu Baris, a leading NCI-based epidemiologist, and ethicist Dr. Jeff Kahn, Professor of Medicine, Center of Bioethics, University of Minnesota, have joined our Bank On A Cure team. All of the administrative paperwork is ready for final approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Minnesota. This is an extremely important facet of this exciting project. We are pleased to confirm that collaborations have been established with several important myeloma research groups. They are: SWOG (Southwest Oncology Group), ECOG (East Coast Oncology Group), Mayo Clinic, IFM (Intergroup Français Myelome), University of Arkansas, the German Myeloma Study Group, The Japanese Myeloma Study Group, Central Europe Myeloma Group, HOVAN (the Netherlands), the Nordic Myeloma Study Group, JEM, Pethema (the Spanish Groups), the Italian Group, the South American Study Group, Fundaleu (the Argentinian Group), the Canadian Group at the Toronto General Hospital, and the National Canadian Cancer Group. Bringing these groups together to work collaboratively is truly a milestone in myeloma research and shows the scope, breadth, and belief in the importance of Bank On A Cure! So, our research teams are in place and, thanks to your support, we have purchased a DNA extractor. This is the most critical (and a very expensive) piece of equipment needed for this project. We've also begun our research and have run tests on over 2,000 DNA samples from patients who have already consented to correlative analyses as part of ongoing clinical trials. Initial observations include correlation between benefit with high-dose melphalan as part of stem cell transplant and the gene-regulating body metabolism of melphalan. In addition, gene regulation of TNF-alpha production, a crucial body cytokine (or hormone), correlates with response to thalidomide treatment. The goal of identifying personal gene expression patterns that correlate with treatment benefit is well within grasp! I look forward to keeping you posted on the progress of Bank On A Cure. A truly heartfelt thank you from all of us here at the IMF and from our Bank On A Cure team. We couldn't do it without you! Warmest regards, Susie Novis

text: The easiest way to spray a professional finish!Produces a beautiful traditional nitrocellulose lacquer finish, without elaborate spray equipment. ColorTone® Clear Aerosol Guitar Lacquer is formulated especially for musical instruments. Fast-drying and resistant to alcohol and water, it produces a hard, durable finish that enhances the beauty of the wood.Available in convenient 13-ounce spray cans. ColorTone® Nitrocellulose Guitar Lacquer can be applied over smooth bare wood, sanded basecoats of grain filler, ColorTone Sanding Sealer, and over ColorTone Stains. Perfect for touch-up work, or for finishing an entire instrument. The rotating-tip nozzle can spray a horizontal or vertical pattern. Aerosol spraying is an economical way for the beginner to apply a first finish without elaborate setup or equipment. Aerosols produce a slightly rougher surface than spray guns, however, and more sanding may be needed for a level surface. How many cans do you need? Electric guitar neck: No sealer, 2 to 3 cans lacquer Solid body electric: 1 can sealer, 3 to 4 cans lacquer Acoustic or archtop guitar: 1 can sealer, 4 to 6 cans lacquer Mandolin or dulcimer: 1 can sealer, 3 to 4 cans lacquer Banjo rim and neck: 1 can sealer, 3 to 4 cans lacquer Ukulele: 1 can sealer, 2 to 3 cans lacquer Number of cans needed may vary depending on how heavy the coats are applied, number of coats, and desired thickness on your instrument. Clear Satin typically requires fewer coats. Successive thin coats should be sanded to maintain a level surface. Don't sand the final coat; the flattener in the lacquer will give a smooth satin appearance. Application Tips We recommend spraying multiple thin coats, in a low humidity environment. Heavy-bodied Sanding Sealer (one coat equals two coats of lacquer) will seal stained or unstained wood before the color coats or clear topcoats are applied. At least one can of Sanding Sealer and 4-6 cans of lacquer will usually finish a complete guitar. Use warm lacquer, not cold! Pro shops spray heated lacquer because cold lacquer spatters, requiring extra sanding. You should warm up your aerosol lacquer too, simply soak them in a sink of warm tap water. Our ColorTone Aerosol Finishing Kit is a great choice for the first-time instrument maker. It includes our easy-to-apply clear gloss aerosol finish with the best instruction book available!

Barbour County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Super blasted the media over its coverage of what he termed "the infamous cheese sandwich" at the start of Monday's Board of Education meeting.
"It is not my intent to in any way state that the incident was blown out of proportion," Super said. "Students and parents had a concern and it needed to be addressed."
Barbour County students eating "hot" lunch on May 2 were served slices of cheese on a white hamburger bun as their meal. Many students took photos of the cheese sandwiches alone on their lunch trays, sending the pictures to their parents and posting them on social media sites. Super said last week the students eating school lunch on May 2 will not be charged for the meal on their bills.
Article Photos
The incident was covered by local media and the West Virginia Associated Press. At Monday's meeting, Super disputed some of the statements made in the AP article.
"It was stated I was forced to apologize regarding the incident. Stand corrected. I was not forced," Super said. "In my mind, it was the right thing to do and I did it."
The AP story included comments from Richard Goff, the state Department of Education's chief nutritional officer.
"When I asked that same member of the department if that meal met state guidelines, I was told 'no,'" Super said Monday. "When I asked that same individual to put that in writing to me, I was basically danced with to the proverbial backpedal, and was told they couldn't, wouldn't do that. But yet when I read the papers, there it is. So I respectfully ask, 'You put it in a quote in the paper. Why not put it in writing to me?'"
Super also quoted from The Inter-Mountain's May 9 editorial on the subject.
"There is the word 'speculation' tied to hiding something in a paper related to, among other things, running short of food on a countywide basis, overshooting federal guidelines and running out of money," the superintendent said.
"To the best of my knowledge, I know of no instance in my tenure when we have been faced with running out of food on a countywide basis," Super said. "More than likely, there could have been a mistake in calculated number of meals at a specific school being either over- or underprepared, but not on a countywide basis. And that situation has been addressed."
Super also spoke about the school system's troubled financial status.
"Funding is a concern, a concern we have not hid from anyone... But to indicate we are not feeding kids because we are running out of money was, and is, uncalled for," he said. "To indicate we switched menus from either hot dogs or pork chops to cheese sandwiches in a clandestine manner, again, is uncalled for."
The Inter-Mountain's original article on the situation noted that the county school system's online menu had been changed after the May 2 meal. Super refuted that statement.
"I'm not sure what online menu was referenced for the paper ... in checking, I did find the menu was changed approximately one week prior from a bologna with cheese sandwich with baked beans, peach slices, garden bar and assorted milk, to a cheese sandwich with all the same other items," Super said. "I also found that change was not announced in all schools, even though the schools were aware of the change."
Super said he was exhibiting "professional leadership" by declining to say what had caused the May 2 meal situation, or to say who made the decision.
"No one is trying to make the story go away," Super said. "I, we, are only trying to get to the bottom of the situation so we can make sure, as best we can, that it doesn't happen again. I explained to two journalists that the buck stops with me, and there was and is no need to publicly condemn someone. I fail to see where that translates that we, or I, am hiding information.
"The matter was dealt with in a professional manner in my office. Answers have been and will be provided to the board as I continue to investigate the situation. The responsibility was and is accepted here. The folks are used to other educational leaders waffling and deferring accountability by throwing folks under the bus. Well, that's not going to happen here."
Super also indicated that he has learned more about what caused the incident since initially talking to reporters.
"If I am lied to, and have to deal with legal, moral and ethical situations, I will work through those via the procedures provided in code and/or in policy, but not in public," he said. "I will grant this to the press: at the time I was interviewed, I did not have all the above information, and how they construed what I had at the time is how they construed it."
No board members addressed the meal situation after Super's comments. Food service director Tammy Martin was not at Monday's meeting.

The league asked union officials for a two-week moratorium on negotiations Thursday, according to multiple reports. The sides haven't talked since Sunday after falling further apart on various collective bargaining issues.
"We are extremely disappointed in where we and the players find ourselves," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told TSN.ca. "From our perspective, we have made repeated moves in the players' direction with absolutely no reciprocation. Unfortunately, we have determined we are involved with union leadership that has no genuine interest in reaching an agreement. Regardless of what we propose or how we suggest to compromise the answer is 'no.'
"At some point you just have to say 'enough is enough.' "
NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr reportedly will take the league's moratorium request to the players today before responding.
The league has already canceled all games through November, and the window to avoid further cancellations is rapidly closing.
In order to start the season Dec. 1, a date that would include seven days of training camp, a new CBA needs to be completed by next Friday.
The sides talked extensively last week, meeting nearly every day. But tempers flared as the weekend approached and negotiations ground to a halt.
"I'm more discouraged now than I have been at any point in the process," Daly told the Canadian Press.

When October appears on the calendar, that is a good indication summer is really over. No great mourning this year. I spent a lot of this dry summer waiting for relief from the heat.
There are a number of things to complete in the garden before winter comes.
After one or two hard frosts, the leaves of the perennials will turn brown and the plants can be cut back. Any tender blooms you want to keep going for a while can be covered with a sheet or a light tarp during a frosty night and may give several weeks more enjoyment yet. The cover traps heat stored in the ground and prevents frost damage.
Tropical plants need to be brought into an area where they will receive good light. I have two hibiscus, a tall mandevilla, a fig tree and a bay to bring inside, and I will start the annual battle to keep some pots of rosemary alive until spring.
This also is bulb-planting time.
I have planted several clumps of daffodils under the cherry tree in the front, where they will receive some sun before the tree leafs out. And I am looking for a bargain in tulip bulbs. Most of mine had reverted to red and are dying.
I don't know why I dislike red tulips; it is just one of those things.
Tulips, daffodils and hyacinth should be planted about 6 inches deep and crocus about 3 inches. It is a good idea to mix in some peat moss and fertilizer in the bottom of the hole.
A good clean-up of the garden should provide plenty of sticks, leaves and twigs to supplement the compost pile.
After a summer of salads and fruit, I find a lot of kitchen waste in the bin needs covering with some dry brown material to keep things in balance. And the old potting soil from containers is another good addition, along with grass clippings from untreated lawns and old plant parts.
I like to think of the remnants of this year's garden going on to make next year's better. Cover the pile or bin to keep it warm and working.
After vegetable plots have been weeded and dug over, it is good to add a covering of compost or manure to last over the winter and ready to be dug into the top few inches of ground in the spring.
The year-long war on slugs needs to go up a notch this month.
Damp, cool weather brings out some large specimens who will reproduce at this time. Go after mature and baby slugs, and also look out for eggs. Whether you use slug bait, salt or beer, get your weapon ready. I use Escar-Go from Gardener's Supply, which is harmless to dogs and cats, and works slowly, allowing horrible things to crawl away out of my sight before they die.
Be sure evergreens have been well watered before the ground freezes. Soil that is too dry is a major reason some plants do not make it through the winter. Check especially close to the house, under eaves, where plants may dry out quickly.
Get rid of weeds before their flowers go to seed.
Tender plants with corms, rhizomes or bulbs such as dahlias, gladioli and canna need to be dug up and stored in a dry place until spring.
As you clean up, dispose of fallen apples, leaves with spots, blemished tomato and pepper fruits away from your garden. Many insect pests and disease organisms can survive the winter ready to renew their attacks next year.
Make notes! This is the most important hint of all.
Those ideas you have for next year seem to be impossible to forget, but take it from one who knows, they will fade if not written down.
Now, where did I put that notebook?

Channing Tatum's 32nd birthday packed quite the (musical) surprise.
The Magic Mike star thought he was meeting his pals for a mellow birthday dinner on Thursday night at Southern Hospitality BBQ Restaurant in N.Y.C. – but, instead, it turned into an all-out dance party.
"Jenna Dewan surprised him with a choreographed flash mob," a source tells PEOPLE. After the actor arrived, "I've Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing began to play. Explains the source: "Much to his surprise, the nearby tables of what he thought were restaurant patrons jumped up, ripped off their regular shirts to reveal 'Happy Birthday Channing' tees and began dancing."
According to the source, the actor looked "completely surprised." And, mid-song, he grabbed Jenna and lifted her over his head, parallel to the floor – "just like the famous final scene in the movie," the source says.
At one point during the evening, Tatum even started breakdancing, with partygoers chanting, "Go Channing!"
After working up an appetite, the gang nibbled on the restaurant's famous fried pickles, BBQ nachos and ribs, while toasting to another year with Armand de Brignac Brut Gold Champagne. They called it a night around 10 p.m.
– Carlos Greer

Colon Polyps
Colon polyps are growths on the lining of the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which are parts of the digestive system.
The 2 most common kinds of polyps are:
- Adenomatous polyps—which are precancerous and can become larger over time and may develop into cancer
- Hyperplastic polyps—do not increase in size and only rarely become cancerous
|Colon Polyp
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The cause of most colon polyps is unknown. It may be partly due to hereditary factors.
There are certain genetic conditions, such as familial adenomatous polyposis and Peutz–Jeghers syndrome, which cause many polyps to form.
Risk Factors
Colon polyps are more common in people over 50 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of colon polyps include:
- Family members with colon polyps or colon cancer
- Personal history of colon or rectal cancer
- Weight gain and obesity
- Smoking
- Alcohol use disorder
Symptoms are often not present. Polyps are often found during an endoscopy, colonoscopy, or x-ray. If symptoms are present, they can include:
- Rectal bleeding
- Diarrhea, constipation, and/or bloating that lasts over a period of time
- Abdominal pain or cramping (rare)
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- Stool test
- Digital rectal exam
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy
- Colonoscopy
- Biopsy
Images of your internal body structures may be done with a barium enema or an abdominal x-ray.
Depending on the size of the polyp, it may be removed. Large polyps are at high risk for becoming cancerous. They should be removed. Usually, polyps can be removed during colonoscopy.
If the polyps are very large, you may need to have surgery to have them removed. Your doctor may send the tissue from the removed polyps to be tested for cancer.
It's not clear how polyps can be prevented. However, the following guidelines can help you stay healthy and may help prevent not only polyps, but also colon cancer:
- Eat a high fiber diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Reduce the amount of animal fat in your diet. This occurs in beef and other meat products, as well as full-fat dairy products.
- Exercise regularly.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- If you smoke, ask your doctor how to quit.
- See your doctor for regular screenings after the age of 50.
- More frequent screenings may be needed if polyps are found, or if you have a apersonal or family history.

From Hedgesville:
I have 5-8 dozen pint canning jars I would like to donate to any organization for apple butter.
Call 304-754-8820.
From Martinsburg:
If the state wants to come in under budget at ERJ, they should release all of the illegal immigrants that are held on non-criminal detainers. It is a gross inequity that someone be imprisoned for being born in another country. The costs associated with naturalization are exorbitant, and the procedures are intimidating. ... We vote to strengthen immigration consequences, then we cry about being over budget.
From Berkeley Springs:
On Saturday we had an emergency and needed to get from Berkeley Springs to Charles Town. With flashers on, and trying our best, we had just one driver allow us to pass by. Everyone else just looked in their mirror and continued to drive their pace. No wonder people get road rage when there are no courteous drivers on the road.
From Frederick:
I thought Mitt Romney criticized President Obama during their first debate over unemployment. What is he going to say now that unemployment figures are going down? Back to the drawing board I guess!
From Jefferson County:
I'm simply amazed that supporters of Mitt Romney give President Obama no credit whatsoever for his authorizing the raid to kill bin Laden. And how can they justify their support of him after Romney publicly declared that he would not authorize missions to go into Pakistan?
From Charles Town:
I guess the only persons upset that unemployment has dropped to a four-year low are Mitt Romney and his supporters.
From Hedgesville:
"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. After eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started - and an enormous debt to boot!" - Henry Morgenthau, FDR's treasury secretary.
From Martinsburg:
Two days after the debate the media suddenly reports the unemployment rate has dropped. Does everyone out there really see and feel this sudden miracle? What next? ... The media reports anything to keep Obama in the White House. Folks, c'mon, this election is the most important one ever if you want this country to continue as our founders intended, or if you want socialism and total government control of everything!
From Hedgesville:
Wow! I attended the Musselman and Hedgesville football game tonight. I was very impressed on how the Inwood police reserves got the traffic out. Hedgesville police reserves need to come and watch Inwood police reserves to see how it should be done at our games.
From Bunker Hill:
Sorry Hedgesville, we all know how the system works with the electric company. If you knew something wasn't right with your bill, and that it should be way more than $5, perhaps you should've planned for it and put money back each paycheck. I know sometimes things come up and you need the money, and also that a lot of us sometimes live paycheck to paycheck.
From Martinsburg:
Only a loser would lie, cheat and be rude - use any means necessary - in order to win a debate.
From Hedgesville:
Think about it. From Washington to FDR, only three executive orders were issued, all by Teddy. During the next 12 presidents, 79 additional executive orders were issued. During the last three and a half years or during Obama's term to date, he has issued 923 executive orders or more than 11 times all of the other presidents combined. Why? Because he wants to circumvent Congress.
From Hedgesville:
To the Gerrardstown caller from Friday concerning Obama really getting kicked by Mitt Romney: I have felt this way for a mighty long time. I am certainly not going to be a fool and vote for him. I can't wait to see Obama escorted out of that White House.
From Martinsburg:
Everybody out there please vote for DeHaven. He is a good and honest person. If you ever need any help, he will be there to assist with the problem.
From Jefferson County:
Concerning the column by Sean O'Leary on Saturday's editorial page: I see Sean is back in fantasy land. It's too bad. I guess he went back up there to join Virginia Graf. She was always in fantasy land. These columns are just her letters, and his columns are just too funny.
From Inwood:
I was a die-hard Republican until the age of 60, then my eyes were opened to the truth. I really do believe what Bill Clinton and President Obama say if we go back to electing Gov. Romney, then we are going back to the same failed policies that almost brought us to destruction. I will not vote for a Republican. Obama's the man!
From Martinsburg:
Mitt Romney has five sons, but not one of them fought in Iraq or Iran. I guess they were too busy hanging out at the country club.
From Martinsburg:
To all the haters of Food Lion in Inwood: Shop at Martin's or Wal-Mart in Martinsburg.
From Jefferson County:
Who didn't know that 30 days before the election all of a sudden the job figures start to look better. Jeeze. Did we cook the books? But, what about the price of gasoline? I wonder.
From Glengary:
I hate the media and NPR and teachers and university professors and scientists with their facts and their information that can be proved and the betterment of mankind they've caused. They always prove my political and religion opinions wrong. Only people who think like me should be allowed to say stuff to people.
From Martinsburg:
If you are looking for a good breakfast on the weekend, try Ryan's. They have the best breakfast bar around! Try it, you will like.
From Martinsburg:
Republicans: Always giving up our rights to people above them but taking rights away from people they look down upon.
From Martinsburg:
Who is in charge of picking a Grand Marshall for the Mountain State Apple Harvest parade, a bunch of 60-year-old women who sit around and watch soap operas all day? I would rather watch them drag a man hole cover down the street. At least attempt to make it fun for everyone.
From Morgan County:
We have been here since the '80s and had to drive so far away for a YMCA. Does anyone know where there is a public swimming pool for adults in Martinsburg?
From Shenandoah
This is to the oversized older man at Martin's (Charles Town) on Oct. 6: Shame on you for making that sweet little store associate overseeing the six busy self-checkout lanes cry because she didn't respond to your demands fast enough as she was assisting everyone. And shame on you for cursing me and telling me to mind my own business when I came to her defense.
From Martinsburg:
If Romney's plans are so great, and chock full of big bold ideas, why doesn't he tell us what they are? You don't hide your plans when they are great. You hide your plans when they are truly awful, unacceptable, un-American.
From Morgantown:
Following WVU's combined 118 points in its last two games, we are quickly experiencing a couch shortage here in Morgantown and ask WVU fans statewide to send us their unwanted couches. Nothing says "WVU football" quite like the aroma of spilled beer and burning upholstery.
From Hedgesville:
To anyone who still wants to vote for Obama: Watch the documentary "The Obama Deception" - I believe it was made in 2009 and tells why this country is being destroyed by the government.
From Charles Town Road:
No amount of government intervention is going to save our economy when the dollar is no longer used by OPEC. The dollar will be dropped because of the recklessness of the Fed by falsely stimulating the economy by lowering interest rates and printing fiat currency. The anticipated date for doing so happens to be Dec. 12, 2012. Purchase what you need now.
From Martinsburg:
"You cannot debate someone who is dishonest. You just can't." - Newt Gingrich describing his debate opponent, Gov. Willard Mitt Romney.

Colesville Road PRSA
The Colesville Road High Incident Area (HIA), which stretches from Fenton Street to North Noyes Street, was the study area for a PRSA conducted in November 2011. The Montgomery County of Department of Transportation (MCDOT) teamed Maryland State Highway Administration (MSHA) staff to conduct this two-day audit in Silver Spring. This segment of Colesville Road was notable, particularly because of the density of unique "traffic generators", including dining, and shopping bisected by a major regional corridor.
Since the audit was conducted, MCDOT has taken measures to improve sidewalk and ADA ramp conditions. Visibility of street signs was improved by removing overgrown vegetation. MCDOT and MSHA are currently exploring more opportunities for pedestrian, bicycle, signal timings, and ADA-related improvements.

Kickers dominate Northeast-Northwest showdown
Northeast Mississippi Community College's football
game with Northwest Mississippi Community College lived up to its
billing as jucoweekly.com's 'Game of the Week' for the first 52:27 of
the pair's matchup at Tiger Stadium in Booneville Thursday night.
Northwest (5-0, 3-0 in North Division) tacked on a Kevin Buford
27-yard field goal and got a tipped pass touchdown by Xavier Lee when
the 5-8 sophomore used all 5-feet, 8-inches to haul in a 12-yard pass
as the Rangers tacked on 10 points late in the 26-6 win.
Northeast's defense held the high-powered Northwest offense in check
until late in the game by forcing the Rangers to settle for three
Buford field goals and a 15-yard score by Jay Jones in the first 50
minutes of the contest.
Northeast (3-2, 2-1) stayed in the contest as Taylor Earhart (Olive
Branch) returned for a leg injury to boot through a pair of field
goals – 38 and 20 yards – in keeping the Tigers within striking
Buford gave Northwest a 6-0 lead in the second quarter when the
sophomore knocked through a 26-yard field goal with 14:21 remaining in
the first half and then nailed a 45-yard boot with 9:41 showing.
Earhart responded for Northeast as the two kickers battled it out in
the first 30 minutes when the Northeast freshman kicked through a
38-yard field goal with 7:12 left in the first half that cut the
Ranger lead in half at 6-3.
Buford added the first half's fourth field goal when he gave the
Rangers a 9-3 halftime advantage with a 30-yard field goal with 1:48
left in the half.
Northwest scored the game's first touchdown when Brent Osborn hooked
up with Jay Jones on a 15-yard touchdown pass with 12:17 left in the
third quarter that staked the Rangers to a 16-3 lead over the Tigers.
Not to be outdone, Northeast forced its way down the field against the
Northwest defense and got a 20-yard field goal out of Earhart – the
games fifth – as the Tigers cut the lead to 16-6 with 5:33 left in the
third. Earhart's second field goal of the game was set up when the
Tigers went for a fake punt on fourth-and-four and punter Steve Davis
(Tishomingo) found linebacker Anthony Brown (Cairo, Ga.) for a 32-yard
pass inside the Ranger 10.
Northeast snuffed out Northwest's ensuing drive when Tarondal Phillips
(Holly Springs) came away with an interception. However, Northeast's
drive ended soon after as Sam Small stepped in front of a Tiger pass
for his second pick of the night.
Buford tacked on the game's sixth field goal with 7:33 left in the
game as the Rangers tacked on 10 points late in the contest.
Northeast looks to bounce back next week when the Tigers head to
Scooba to take on East Mississippi Community College. Kickoff is set
for 7 p.m.

In order to align its name with that of other research departments and to better capture the interest of prospective research students, the Pathogenesis Cluster has undergone a name change. One of the five research clusters in the Biomedical Sciences Program, this cluster will now be known as Infectious and Immunological Diseases.
The primary emphasis of the Infectious and Immunological Diseases Cluster is the study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of diseases. Faculty research interests are diverse and include: induction and regulation of immune responses in autoimmune disease; characterization of leukocyte response to Streptococcus infections; developmental regulation of gene expression; mapping and cloning of human disease genes; epigenetic control of pathogenesis; epigenetic and genetic control of myeloid progenitor cell maturation as pertaining to leukemia; respiratory infection mouse models for cystic fibrosis; and control of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.
Dr. Hongwei Yu is the Research Cluster Coordinator. Faculty members performing research in this cluster also include Dr. Susan Jackman, Dr. Donald Primerano, Dr. Vincent E. Sollars, and Dr. Wei-ping Zeng.
