MCALISTERVILLE - In the summer of 2011 a church congregation near Prattsville, NY, prayed for an opportunity to work together and serve their community. In August of that year, Hurricane Irene swept through, flooding the town with as much as six feet of water in 45 minutes.
The time had come to serve the community, and they had help rebuilding 13 months later from Juniata Mennonite School seniors.
Four members of the senior class, along with teacher Terry Smith and a few community members, headed north from Sept. 30 to Oct. 4 to help the folks in the flood-soaked town.

Juniata Mennonite School senior students recently returned from a missions trip to Prattsville, NY, where they aided in rebuilding homes following the 2011 devastation of Hurricane Irene. Taking part in the trip were, from left, front, Lydia Sheaffer, Norma Montesino, Rachel Allen; second row, Terry Smith, teacher, and Elias Shambach.
Smith and seniors Elias Shambach, Lydia Sheaffer, Norma Montesino and Rachel Allen recently talked about the experience.
The missions trip was made available through Brethren Disaster Ministries. Smith is also a pastor with Free Spring Church in Van Wert, which is affiliated with the Brethren church.
JMS seniors are required to submit a senior project that is solely about a missions experience. They must journal their experience, put forth the work hours and then present what they gained from the trip to a large group like a church, the school's chapel program or a service organization.
Shambach, Allen and Sheaffer had already started their missions project from other missions trips. Montesino, who is new to the school, needed a project. The Brethren Disaster Ministries needed help, so the trio of seniors joined Montesino, Smith and local men Steve Lauver and Mark Zeigler.
The group was led through the working process with nearby Huntersfield Christian Retreat Center and Rev. Charlie Gockel.
"We were told by the pastor there (Gockel) that some people don't get the idea of a group volunteering," Smith said. The town supervisor saw the individuals coming in to help rebuild the town and had many questions.
"He wanted to know 'Where did these people come from?'" Smith said, to which Gockel told him these were people from Indiana, Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
"Then he wanted to know 'Who pays them?'" Smith said, and when he was told that these were volunteer helpers who get not one dime, the man went on to ask why they even came if they do not get paid.
"And that opens a door," to share the gospel, Smith said.
The JMS group was busy painting and priming walls damaged in the flood. Smith and Shambach worked on rebuilding a furnace room in a church. The furnace had previously been in the basement and was flooded. A new, separate room was added as a result.
Sheaffer said the highlight for her was "seeing the volunteers come together as literally the body of Christ. They told us in the beginning we would be like family in the end and I was like, 'Ok, maybe.' But we really were."
The crew from JMS noted they met many "interesting people" who had a lot to say and share, like a woman with a Brooklyn accent who was trapped in her second floor on Main Street days after the flood. While the rest of her street was evacuated, she and her husband were forgotten and trapped.
Her husband, however, was not one to share his experience.
"Please pray for this man," Smith said, because the husband still lives in a FEMA trailer and refuses to come outside. The entire experience of losing his home has devastated him to such a serious degree he cannot face the light of day.
"There's still mountains of work to be done," Allen noted. "All of this debris is still sitting there."
Some homes still have their porch roof on their front door step. Other homes are literally wrapped against poles and trees.
Montesino said it is evident that before the August 2011 storm, Prattsville was a beautiful town.
"There was one place where there was a perfect pathway with flowers on either side and at the end was a sign that said 'Open House,'" Montesino said. When you look past the sign, "There's no house."
Montesino also mentioned a church that prayed for a ministry opportunity only months prior to the flood. Even though the flood was devastating to so many, this tragedy opened the hearts of many individuals, she said.
"It's so cool how it all came together and as a community so many people were serving God."

|Composition and Reactions of Atmospheric Aerosol Particles
Microscopic aerosol particles in the atmosphere contain carbonaceous components from mineral dust and combustion emissions released from around the world. How long these tiny particles remain in the atmosphere can have a huge impact on the global climate. Measurements based on high-resolution scanning transmission x-ray images obtained at the ALS have revealed chemical reactions on and in atmospheric aerosol particles that caused particle growth while changing organic composition by 13 to 24% per day, an oxidation rate significantly slower than is currently used in atmospheric models. Since oxidation has a strong effect on particle lifetime in the atmosphere, these results will help climate scientists refine the computer models used to predict climate change.
A large portion of the microscopic particles floating in the air originate from incomplete combustion of coal and oil and from dust storms. Once in the atmosphere, they can have either cooling or warming effects. Lighter-colored organic carbon particles cool regions of the planet by scattering sunlight back into space. Other aerosol particles composed of black carbon, or soot, warm the atmosphere by absorbing sunlight and heating the surrounding air. Impacts like these are why scientists want to know how long carbon-containing aerosols remain in the atmosphere.
One way to gauge an aerosol's ability to stay aloft is to determine its oxidation rate. Because oxidized aerosols absorb moisture and subsequently form clouds and fall as rain, the faster an aerosol particle oxidizes, the less time it spends in the atmosphere, and the less impact it has on the climate. Hoping to learn more about aerosol particle oxidation rates and confident that measurements of aerosol particle composition could reveal signatures of atmospheric chemical reactions such as oxidation, a multi-institutional collaboration based at the University of California, San Diego, examined a variety of carbon-containing aerosol particles that had undergone vastly different journeys.
Aerosol particles for scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) analysis were collected on silicon nitride substrates by impaction on the National Center for Atmospheric Research C-130Q aircraft over the Caribbean Sea in July 2000 and over the Sea of Japan in April 2001. The sources of the particles collected were determined to be Asian combustion and African mineral dust, respectively. Additional aerosol samples representing eastern U.S. combustion were collected on lacey-carbon transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids in New Jersey in August 2003 on both clear and foggy days. In all, more than 120 particles were analyzed as part of eight samples from the Caribbean Sea, from eastern Asia, and from New Jersey.
The group carried out STXM measurements near the carbon absorption K edge at ALS Beamlines 7.0.1 and 5.3.2 in a helium-filled sample chamber maintained at 1 atm. X-ray transmission images, typically spanning an area of 64 mm2, were scanned sequentially at increasing photon energies in the range 279–305 eV to create a stack of images from which a spectrum could be extracted at each point. The jump in the carbon K-edge absorbance (namely the difference above and below the absorption edge), which is linearly related to the number of absorbing atoms, was used as a semi-quantitative measure of total carbon, with absorbance below the carbon edge quantifying total mass. In this way, maps of carbon and total mass were constructed.
These measurements revealed surface- and volume-limited chemical reactions on and in atmospheric aerosol particles. The observed much slower oxidation rates mean that organic aerosols will reflect more radiation because of increased atmospheric lifetimes, producing a 70% increase of the organic aerosol burden. These changes in organic aerosol burden will change the radiation balance of the atmosphere, increasing cooling by as much as 47%, while also causing offsetting warming changes of up to 61%.

Able to both confound and exceed expectations in equal measure, Cuba is an endlessly fascinating place. The archetypal tableau of revolutionary rhetoric, breathtaking beaches, classic cars gliding past faded colonial buildings and a population who dance on an endless ribbon of salsa and rum does of course exist, but for those prepared to dig beneath the dazzling surface, Cuba relinquishes so much more. Art Deco architecture peeks between the crumbling mansions; unobtrusive art galleries are filled with exciting contemporary art to rival the scenes of London, Los Angeles and New York; private restaurants hidden in backstreets throughout the country nudge Cuba towards the upper echelons of fine dining experiences; while a programme of arts festivals sees internationally renowned ballerinas, musicians and actors delight audiences for the modest reward of a state salary. Delve into the countryside and you'll find cloudforests and mountain ranges, birdwatching trails ripe for exploring, and panoramic plains filled with green-gold sugar cane that are a siren call for a growing number of visiting cyclists.
Even those who have visited Cuba previously will be amazed by the country of today. Since the 1990s, when the collapse of the Soviet Union (and the end of decades of subsidies to its communist outpost) saw Cuba descend into economic crisis, there has been a sense that this is a place on the cusp of a great political and cultural shift. There is no doubt that the economic reforms ushered in since 2008, when Fidel Castro handed over leadership to his younger brother Raul, have staked a marker in the fine Caribbean sand. With individuals now licensed to run a diverse range of businesses, there is an undeniable sense that Cuban commerce is awakening from a long hibernation: private taxi services, boutique restaurants, homestays, private tour companies and more are thriving – and becoming increasingly competitive.
The change is also percolating through provincial areas. While you'll still hear the languid clop of horse-drawn carts in small-town plazas, and the faded facades of pre-revolutionary storefronts continue to provide the classic photo opportunity, enterprise is also simmering away. Independent tour operators, Western-style streetside nail bars and a slew of new front-room antique shops are busily contesting for the tourist peso. Far from being a country whose economy is on its knees, Cuba appears to be flourishing in the face of the global recession; while a support system of reciprocal trade and fuel agreements with left-leaning Latin American states mean that, though undeniably detrimental, the US embargo is not the crippling force this long-standing adversary would wish it to be. That's not to say that the infrastructure isn't creaky in places. You're bound to come across occasional reminders that Cuba essentially remains a centralized, highly bureaucratic one-party state, and this can give a holiday here an unfamiliar twist. Simply queuing for a train ticket or booking a state-run tour can be unnecessarily and frustratingly complicated; you may well discover that Cuba has its own special logic, and that common sense doesn't count for much here. But if you can take the rough with the smooth, you may even come to regard such irritations as part of the charm of the place; and you'll also find that in general, the new and increasingly professional level of commerce means that organizing an independent trip is now easier than ever.
A perennially beguiling aspect of a stay here is the easy contact visitors can have with locals. Cubans are generally outgoing, sociable and hospitable, and the common practice of renting out rooms in private homes allow visitors closer impressions of the country than they might have thought possible in a short visit. The much-vaunted Cuban capacity for having a good time is best expressed through music and dance, and despite the queues, food rationing and free-speech restrictions, people in Cuba are always ready to party.
That said, the continued growth of tourism is cementing the two-tier earning power between those who now work in the private and tourist sectors and those like doctors and teachers employed by the state. Whether adopting principles of a free-market economy will allow the communist government to deliver its egalitarian agenda of wealth redistribution remains to be seen. Similarly, no-one knows how the vestiges of present-day Cuba will endure in the face of recent change. One thing is for sure: immersing yourself in Cuba now is the best way to judge for yourself.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Tajh Boyd said he "knew it was coming," questions from reporters at ACC Football Kickoff asking him to respond to Jadeveon Clowney.
"Honestly, there's a lot of talk that goes on, on and off the field," Boyd said Sunday at the Grandover Resort. "But that will take care of itself in November."
South Carolina's All-America defensive end caused a social media stir Tuesday at SEC Media Days when he said three quarterbacks he faced in 2012 – Boyd, Georgia's Aaron Murray and departed Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson – played "scared."
Asked about Boyd, Clowney said, "He's scared every time we play them. He knows he's scared."
Boyd said Clowney is "a good player, obviously one of the best in the country. I respect the way he plays."
But, Boyd said, "I'm not afraid of (Clowney). It's never been in my nature."
Clowney, South Carolina's All-America defensive end, had 4.5 sacks last November in the Gamecocks' 27-17 victory at Clemson. Boyd is 0-2 against South Carolina as a starter.
"You can tell if a player is scared if he looks at me every time before the ball is snapped," Clowney said.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney responded almost immediately when told about Clowney's tweet at a Clemson media golf outing.
"He's a great player, no doubt about that," Swinney said. "I look forward to getting another shot at him this year."
Swinney said Boyd is "not scared of anybody."
Murray got his chance to respond to Clowney Thursday.
"I'm not worried about it," Murray said at SEC Media Days. "I respect the dude. He's really an unbelievable football player."
Murray, 0-2 against Clowney, said, "There's a difference between fear and respect. If I'm worried about the defensive line, I'm not doing my job."

FRANKLIN SQUARE - Hilcorp Energy requested information from Salem Township trustees regarding a road use management agreement during Wednesday's meeting.
The township is becoming an oil and gas drilling hot spot in the northern part of Columbiana County.
Currently Hanover Township has the most permitted wells in the county.
The Hilcorp Energy has the oil and gas rights to the Grubbs well on Grafton Road and asked for a RUMA for eight-tenths of a mile from state Route 558 to the south.
RUMA's are a detailed process aimed at making sure secondary roads are capable of handling high-tonnage truck traffic back and forth from oil and gas wells and maintaining them.
B.J. Batterson, an engineer and project manager with Rettew, a land services company, asked what the procedure was, advising trustees Hilcorp planned on installing a wellpad, water impoundment and related facilities.
Trustee Chairman John Wilms referred him to the county engineer's office while advising him the township had a $50 license fee for core drilling to test the roads.
Batterson said Hilcorp has repaired roads before and after building the drillsite and Wilms said the township would prefer "before."
Wilms said, "We would like that to happen."
Trustee Bill Heston said they follow whatever the county engineer approves and Fiscal Officer Cathy Wilms said the RUMAs are prepared by the county prosecutor's office.
Batterson said they've done this with other townships and John Wilms said the township will issue a core drilling permit and then before the RUMA is signed they like to physically go over the area covered in the RUMA to check culverts, ditches and berms.
"We have a pre-meeting," Wilms said, "we'll look at what you're going to propose and you can put in what you want in the RUMA."
Wilms asked about a time window and Batterson said, "ASAP ... we don't operate any other way."
Batterson expected to have the paperwork prepared for the next regular trustee meeting on Dec. 12.
Hilcorp Energy Company is headquartered in Houston and is one of the largest privately-owned independent oil and natural gas companies in the United States.
The company engages in oil and gas exploration, development, and production in eleven areas including the Cook Inlet region of Alaska, the Texas/Louisiana Gulf Coast, the Utica shale, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Rockies.
Hilcorp's pipeline affiliates operate natural gas and oil pipelines in many of the geographic areas where Hilcorp has production.

When St. Peter greets Lilly at the Pearly Gates, she appears to be a shoe-in. You�d think she�d be happy to have someone smile and say, �Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven.�
But there�s a condition, and it drives the comedy of Elan Garonzik�s 10-minute play called �Eternity.�
�You will live forever with the visage you have now,� says St. Peter.
On Friday, at the Durango Arts Center, a marvelously cool Freddie McDaniel delivered that line as St. Peter. Portrayed by the versatile Maureen May, Lilly, 88, says she�s not about to go through eternity �with this face!�
For its brief, 10-minute life, Garonzik�s play had everyone in the audience laughing. At the end of the evening, �Eternity� won the popular choice award after splitting a tie with David Brendon Hopes� marital comedy �Conversation Involving Doppler the Cat.� The Bickerson-style domestic comedy won the grand prize.
�Conversation� rolls out like so many marital arguments. It begins with a tiny scrap of nothing and ends on a big pile of brouhaha. Mercedes (a droll Dinah Swan) inquires if her husband Mitch (an explosive and frustrated Terry Swan) has closed the door after arriving home. The cat, Doppler, might get out. Mercedes, it seems, micromanages everyone � husband and cat.
Like a tight, 10-minute sonata, the play rapidly unspools the major themes of marital discord. A middle section shifts and softens the tone as Mitch expresses remembered affection. But Mercedes won�t have it, and the opening themes return and develop into brilliant coda � another round of picky recrimination and stalwart defense. �Conversation� is a wonderful piece of comic writing, and it got a skillful reading.
In comedy, as in life, timing is everything. The Swans brought a parry-and-punch sense of rhythm to the ups and downs of domestic discord.
The 2012 competition for 10-minute plays drew 130 scripts from all over the U.S. as well as Canada and far away places like Luxembourg and Singapore. Six local playwrights competed. A gaggle of preliminary judges whittled the pack down to 10 semifinalists. Five judges settled on the five plays that received readings Friday night.
This year�s crop seemed sharper than last year. Two happened to be comedies with dogs as the central speakers: �Pound� and �Alfie and Greta.�
�Pound,� by Brooklyn, N.Y. playwright Scott Watson, takes place in an animal shelter. Old Roscoe (McDaniel) gives young Cody (the always winning Miles Batchelder) advice about living, surviving and dying. Two humans arrive (May and Terry Swan) with conflicting thoughts about adoption. Watson wraps things up in a well-crafted ending.
North Carolina playwright Hopes submitted two scripts and both made it to the finals. �Alfie and Greta� is another canine tale but with a sexy twist. Played with expert comic timing by Batchelder and recent Fort Lewis College graduate Mary Quinn, flirtatious banter brimmed with surprises.
The most serious work on the playbill satirized extreme environmentalism. Joni McGary�s �Carbon Credit� looks at the fallout of desperate action on one family. Quinn, Terry Swan and Batchelder delivered strong performances in this essentially dark work.
Coordinated by board president Rochelle Mann and directed jointly by the Swans, the 10-minute play festival may now be a standard part of the Arts Center repertoire.
Both prize-winning plays, �Conversations� and �Eternity,� will receive fully staged productions in September during the DAC Autumn Arts Festival.

I am not much of a review writer but I just would to say I had brilliant stay in Joseph's place. Brilliant location in beautiful surrounding area and the house itself was fantastic.
I would definitely recommend this house and rooms to anyone looking to be in near the centre of Toronto but still want to sleep in a quiet neighborhood .
I loved the place and everything was great.
Good location and the district is really clam, beautiful and close to everything.
next time i am back in Toronto i will come again to meet u!
The house is well located with a very nice neighborhood. However for us it was the only quality to this place.
Nobody really welcome us. We have seen nobody to help us on the several problems in the room ( window curtains not working not possible to sleep, air con problem...) The only few assistance with an assistant with a poor english. Problems were solved by email but very disappointed by our guest who was fully invisible. Compare to the other places that we have done i dont recommend this place, you can really find a better address in Toronto.
Salve ragazzi,sono stato in questa bellisima ed accogliente camera" Amelia camera per 2"
In Winchster Street 137 per due mesi per una vacanza studio a Toronto.Tutto perfetto,splendida pulita, comoda accogliente, confortefole bagno privato con un grande box doccia.Ho avuto a mia disposizione la cucina dove ho potuto cucinare,la lavanderia al piano di sotto dove ho potuto lavare ed asciugare i miei vestiti, che dire mi sono sentito come se fossi a casa.Poi per raggiungere il centro con i mezzi Publici ci mettevo dieci minuti di orologio.Su Parliament strett ci sono due mezzi che ti portano velocissimo al centro.C'è il Tram 506 ed il Bus 65.Con il 65 direzione sud scendi a king street, e da li prendi qualsiasi Bus o tram che va verso il centro. Con il 506 invece non devi cambiare attraversi il centro di Toronto.
Cosa dire ancora,Joseph persona fantastica e socievole,disponibile per qualsiasi richiesta ed prima del mio arrivo a Toronto mi ha spedito una e-mail con tutte le informazioni della città, mi ha chiesto se avevo bisogno di qualcuno che veniva a prendermi all'Aereoporto per raggiungere l'abitazione qualora ne avessi bisogno..Grazie milla Joseph. .I'm most grateful to You. .
Sehr nette Hosts! Sie waren sehr darum bemüht, dass ich einen guten Aufenthalt habe und mich mit zahlreichem Informationsmaterial versorgt :-)
Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und es gab nichts zu bemängeln.
Immer wieder gerne!
The studio was very spacious and sparkling clean. Even with my late flight arrival, Vicky met me at the unit and walked through all the things in the studio and made me feel welcomed as a guest. There was even a washing machine down in the basement available for the guests. Parking was available in the back of the house for 2 cars. It was a tandem parking space, and did require some coordination with another guest. Luckily the logistics worked out between us and everything went smoothly. Definitely will want to return again.
Great apartment, it had everything we needed for our first four weeks in a new city. Vicky met us at the apartment and showed us around, she was only an email away if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend.
We enjoyed our stay in Joseph´s loft and he was good host. The appartment was perfect and a good starting place for visiting the town. The loft was well furnished and clean. We can recommend this loft. Jos and Ineke, The Netherlands
El apartamento es excelente, completamente equipado y acogedor , bien comunicado con una parada de metro a 100 metros de la casa. Lo único mejorable es el colchón de la cama que es muy fino. De todas formas es muy aconsejable,es perfecto para 2 personas y muy coqueto. Los propietarios son muy atentos,gracias Vicky y Joseph
Leider war mein gebuchtes apartment doppelt vergeben.es war 22.30 u.ich setzt sauer.joseph pickte mich dann ab,entschuldigte sich vielmals fuhr mich ins beautiful winchester, was wesentlich naeher an der stadt war u.seh nett liegt,restaurants etc.das winchester ist sehr schoen eingerichter,fuer gehobenr anspruche u.total geoflegt.joseoh fuhr mich nich zu eibem restaurants,soebdierte das abendessen u.erstattete die halbe miete, was ich doch als sehr nobeioch als sehr nobel bewerte.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
In March, the Alzheimer's Association released its annual facts and figures on Alzheimer disease (AD). The analysis revealed some sobering numbers. AD remains the number one cause of dementia among the elderly. An estimated 5.4 million Americans suffer from the disease, and it has become the sixth leading cause of death. More importantly, among the top 10 causes of death, AD remains the only one without truly effective treatment options.
Also released this year in Alzheimer and Dementia were new diagnostic criteria and guidelines for AD, which update the diagnosis and expand the condition to those that have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD. This recognition of an earlier condition agrees with the growing evidence that AD may begin many years, even decades, before clinical signs of dementia are evident.
Also included in the new criteria is a framework for the eventual addition of biomarkers in the diagnosis.
These biomarkers include measurements of structural changes in the brain, such as reduced hippocampal volume and medial temporal atrophy, as well as CSF measurements of the prime suspects in AD, Aβ, and tau.
While Aβ and tau are each hallmarks of the disease, they also represent the major front in the fight against AD. Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Elan are developing a humanized antibody to beta-amyloid, called bapineuzumab, that is meant to clear Aβ from the brain.
A study published in Lancet Neurology in 2010 by Rinne and co-authors demonstrated that treatment with bapineuzumab reduced levels of Aβ in the brain. Encouragingly, recent data suggests that improvement in cognition may be occurring with treatment. However, positive effects may be limited to noncarriers of the primary genetic risk factor for AD known as APOE4.
Two other immunological approaches to Aβ are also in the works. Baxter is developing its infused immunoglobulin product, Gammagard, for AD, and Eli Lilly is developing its own humanized antibody to Aβ called solanezumab. Each of these products has reported modest success in delaying cognitive decline in AD. Unfortunately, none of these immunological approaches have produced the type of results that the field would like to see.
Another highly anticipated class of compounds are gamma secretase inhibitors, which reduce the activity of the enzyme complex that cleaves the amyloid precursor protein and thereby lowers Aβ production. One of the first gamma secretase inhibitors to undergo extensive clinical testing, Flurizan, was developed by Myriad Genetics. Myriad ran an extensive Phase III trial in the U.S. with Flurizan, yet the study missed all its clinical endpoints.
Eli Lilly advanced another well-studied gamma secretase inhibitor called semagacestat into the clinic. Unfortunately, the semagacestat trial was halted when it was found that patients in the treatment group were deteriorating faster than those in the control group.
Bristol-Myers Squibb has also developed a gamma secretase inhibitor called BMS-708163, which was studied in 209 mild-to-moderate AD participants and met its primary objective of identifying safe and tolerable doses. No improvements in cognitive outcomes were seen, however.
One of the most promising new therapies for AD in recent memory was the compound latrepirdine, more commonly known as dimebon. In a Phase II study published in The Lancet in 2008, dimebon demonstrated improvements across the board in cognitive tests, raising expectation that a truly effective therapy was on hand. However, a replication of the study in a larger population did not yield positive results.
With the disappointing results of recent drug trials, it is vital to open new avenues to tackle AD. A large study on supplementing the diet with the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexanenoic acid (DHA) was completed in 2010 and reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
This comprehensive study examined 402 individuals in a placebo-controlled, double-blind, 18-month study to measure the effects of 2 grams a day of DHA on cognitive performance. Unfortunately, supplementation with DHA did not improve cognitive performance, nor did it slow progression relative to placebo.
A similar approach examined the effects of a medical food comprising ingredients designed to provide the building blocks for synapses, including uridine, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and choline. This combination had shown impressive preclinical results.
A proof-of-concept study published in Alzheimer's and Dementia in 2010 examined the effects among 225 participants in 12 weeks of therapy compared to placebo in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Encouraging results were seen among a predefined subgroup of mild AD patients, prompting additional studies currently under way.
Another avenue for intervention is the well-characterized decreased cerebral metabolism that occurs in AD. This glucose hypometabolism is one of the earliest markers of the disease and interventions in this process have met with some success.
In a study published in Neurobiology of Aging, Craft and co-authors found that nasal insulin could result in rapid increase in cognition in AD patients. Similarly, in a study of 511 mild to moderate AD subjects published in the Journal of Pharmacogenomics in 2006, Risner and co-authors found that administration of the insulin-sensitizing agent rosiglitazone improved cognitive scores. Unfortunately, larger studies did not repeat the improvements seen with rosiglitazone.
Another approach to addressing hypometabolism involves the induction of ketosis. Ketosis is defined as the presence of ketone bodies in the blood. Ketone bodies are a normal product of human physiology and are produced under conditions of low glucose availability, such as during fasting or the use of ketogenic diets. Ketone bodies are one of the few substrates the brain can use for energy.
Two recent studies examined the induction of ketosis in AD. Both reports utilized medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) to induce ketosis. Instead of being stored as fat, MCTs undergo obligate oxidation in the liver and can induce ketosis even in the presence of a normal diet.
Amidst the failures have been a number of positives that continue to propel the field forward. Development of new treatments remains a top priority for industry, advocacy associations, and government agencies.

Best fountain pen I've ever bought.
By Marynell
from Hermitage, TN
Comments about Namiki/Pilot Falcon Fountain Pen:
I have bought many fountain pens and they did not work very good. They would dry up and every time I went to write it would not write. This fountain pen writes every time you go to write with it. I love this company and their products.I will buy more fountain pens in the future. If you are looking for a great pen look no father. You can surely find it here and you want be sorry.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Levenger Service and Namiki - A+
By BobA
from Tulsa, OK
This excellent pen with the very responsive nib had become my daily writer and as a college instructor, I do a lot of daily writing.Then one day, the plunger in the converter came free from the rod that drives it. Stuff happens sometimes so no biggie, eh?I call customer service and the next thing I know I get a whole new pen and the option to just take the converter or keep the entire new pen. In either case, the return shipping was free.Well, I just kept the converter as my pen was noticeably worn. But that kind of service and drive for customer satisfaction is extremely rare in any industry these days.Mr. and Mrs. L, you are a class act and my favorites! Keep it up and thanks for your trust in your customers.Levenger means top quality every way thinkable.
Great Pen
By LawyerGuy
from Atlanta, GA
This pen is one of the smoothest writing pens I have ever had. It does seem to have a broader line for a Japanese nib--more like a European medium--but it is exceptionally smooth. I like it because it is a simple, clean design and I especially like the screw on cap. For the money this pen has to be one of the best values in the higher end pen category.
Above adequate
By rbecca
from Undisclosed
As mentioned by other reviewers, the flex of this nib isn't great—it is only semi-flex compared to vintage full-flex nibs. Ink flow is great through this pen albeit some inks run too much when using it (even though in other fountain pens used with the same ink there is no issue). It's the smoothest fountain pen I've had the pleasure of owning thus far though so an overall 5 star rating would be fair.
Best Fountain Pen Ever
By Miriam
from San Diego, CA
I have been using fountain pens since the third grade, and can finally stop looking for, and spending money, on the search for the perfect pen. From the first stroke, this pen has written beautifully, skating across the page with a perfect line from its "soft fine" point. It fits my hand perfectly as well. My only criticisms are very minor - it is very light weight, and so does not feel substanttial in the hand - but this also means that I can use it for hours without getting tired. Finally, I would love to see a more striking style and different colors - the look could not be much more boring, but that makes it good and corporate. This is a wonderful pen - buy it and enjoy.
Pure Joy
By MTink
from Seattle, WA
The nib design is the reason any fountain pen lover NEEDS this one. For the money, you won't find a more expressive joyful pen to fist your notes. It paints ink onto the paper as if a brush.I rotate this pen through my daily writers, it is easily in the top 10 of my favorites.The only thorns: when about 1/2 through the ink, it needs burping or refilling to avoid dry heaves on the paper. And I would buy a second or third if it came in more colors.

Nice Pen, but not "perfect"
By Penman2
I love fountain pens, and use them both for daily writing and sketching. For years, I've been looking for the perfect flexible-nib pen. The Falcon's legendary softness and flexibility seemed to fit what I was looking for, and I finally swallowed hard about spending so much money and bought one, with a M nib since Japanese F nibs.My first impression was that the ink flows wonderfully and generously, and the pen does indeed glide across the page. But frankly, I don't see much evidence of the nib's softness making my handwriting more dynamic and "expressive," as the manufacturer's testimonials claim. And there's something about the grip or the feel in my hand that doesn't promote my good penmanship; in that regard I prefer my Platinum Haiku with M nib, even though it's got a stiff nib and a skinnier body. I feel the Falcon's got something not quite right about its ergonomics -- maybe it's just that the screw threads on the hand grip get in the way, maybe it's the angle of the nib. Nonetheless, I'm sure I'll enjoy this pen and expect it will just take some time to get used to it.For sketching, which I'd hoped would be one of the pen's strong points given its alleged flexible nib, forget it. The nib is simply too non-responsive and clumsy for this use. The Falcon's downscale little brother, the $10 Pilot 78G with an F nib, sketches much better.So, I give the Falcon mixed reviews. Good, but not perfect by any means.
excellent choice
By the stylophile
I purchased this pen a few years ago and I am very pleased with it.It has a very smooth ink flow.the Falcon does not skip.I believe that this price is an excellent price for a pen of this caliber.this is an excellent pen for any fountain pen collector/pen lover.This pen is indeed worth its weight in gold -- and more!
What a pen!
By ivanella
from Watertown, NY
I've been writing with a fountain pen for the past 54 years. While learning italic script I came across mention of the Falcon and it's very responsive flexible nib. It hasn't been a disappointment. It's the best fountain pen I've ever had the pleasure of using. I purchased the fine nib and find that depending on the paper and how I hold the pen it adds some interesting touches to my everyday handwriting. The ink chamber is generous. The pen flies across the paper almost as fast as a ball point. I might have liked a more elaborate style pen, but all in all, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Drawing 1ART 110
This course is designed for the beginning student of drawing. The problems and possibilities of visual communication using drawing media and techniques are explored. Students will experiment with various drawing materials and techniques while exploring various themes. Expressive qualities and the studentÕs creative personal expression will be encouraged. Postmodern (mixed media) drawing projects are included in this course. Studio development is strengthened through readings, class discussions, demonstrations, project research, individual and group critiques, visits to art exhibitions, visiting artists and written assignments.
Art AppreciationART 160
Art Appreciation explores the numerous and diverse visual experiences created by various cultures as a way for them to understand and communicate their ideas and beliefs and to give meaning to their world. You will learn that these visual (often multimedia) experiences serve different functions within each culture, reflecting the ideologies of the time period, society, and maker. You will also explore the variety of materials and techniques used by different cultures, as well as the evolution of new technologies. This course will call into question modern Western cultureÕs tendency to evaluate all other cultures by using Western notions of art, including the ideas of originality, beauty, and creativity. Current issues such as arts funding, conservation and restoration, the Nazi art loot controversy, ÒOutsider ArtÓ, art criticism, censorship, and post-modernism are also explored. Participation in the local arts community is part of this course. NOTE: This course is not a chronological study of art.
Design and Typography ICOM 220
This course introduces you to the basic elements of design and the fundamental principles of visual composition. WeÕll cover electronic typesetting and page layout using software specific to the graphic design industry in a Mac-based environment.

Emphasis will be placed on conceptual thinking and distinctive personal solutions through a series of projects that use collage, digital photography, and computer illustration
Motion for the ScreenCOM 420
Although designers still communicate messages by integrating form, image, color, and type, the basic media of visual communication are changing. Designing for these new media requires new design strategies, as well as new technologies. In this course, youÕll begin to incorporate motion, interactivity, and digital video along with traditional typography and image making.
Writing about Story Telling in SimulationENG 313
This course satisfies the third-year writing requirement by asking students to analyze how our contemporary technology-driven society understands the concept of story. To what degree have traditional terms such as ÒplotÓ and ÒcharacterÓ changed in a culture that experiences them primarily through television, movies, and video games? How have new forms of pop culture narratives affected what we expect from beginnings and endings in the stories that we tell about ourselves? Students will write analysis papers, conduct research, and propose arguments that evaluate changes in a range of storytelling techniques from traditional fictions to the newer interactive standards inspired by video games, cloud computing, and social networks.
Finite MathMAT 202

Human remains were found in a wooded area owned by Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach Friday.
The property is on the west side of Clyde Morris Boulevard behind a parking lot.
Halifax Health Medical Center is getting ready to develop the area.
A surveyor was in the area and found a human skull and bones scattered about.
Officials said the area is a known homeless camp and that there didn't appear to be any trauma to the skull.
Authorities said until the medical examiner can thoroughly examine them, they will continue to investigate.

At least someone has Ben Affleck's back.
Fanboys and girls melted down over the news that Affleck was set to play Batman in the next movie installment, but his pal Matt Damon thinks the 41-year-old will "be great."
"It will be terrific," Damon tells the Times of India. "I know there are a lot of people grousing on the Internet. I just think it's kind of funny. You know he's not playing King Lear – it's Batman! Certainly within his skill set."
Damon, who won a Best Screenplay Oscar for Good Will Hunting with Affleck in 1997, adds, "If anybody saw Argo or The Town and all the work he's been doing lately, it's way more nuanced and interesting than Batman."
There was speculation that once Affleck was cast, Damon, 42, would play his sidekick, Robin. But the actor laughs it off.
"I'm a little older than Ben," the father of four says. "I never saw Robin as older than Batman."
Though he did get the visual when somebody sent Damon picture of his face Photoshopped on Robin's body and Affleck's on Batman's. "It was really funny," he says. "But it's safe to say I won't be Robin."

Diane von Furstenberg isn't just best known for creating the closet staple and femme-favorite wrap dress, she's also famous for drawing Hollywood A-listers and top consumer press to her standing room-only runway shows at New York's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
For the Spring/Summer '14 shows, DVF certainly didn't disappoint. One look at the front row and a sea of celebrities are spotted: From Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer, Grace Goddington, to Rachel Zoe and Allison Williams, to Paris and Nicky Hilton, and Jessica Alba.
MODERN's Maggie Mulhern and I were lucky enough to not only get front-row seats to the show, which ended with top model Naomi Campbell struttin' the catwalk in DVF, but we also got to hang with the Biosilk hairdressers backstage.
Orlando Pita was the lead hair designer behind the look--and he used Biosilk Volumizing Therapy spray, Styling Foam, root lifter and Biosilk Silk Therapy to make the hair look super shiny and healthy.
"Diane liked the look of the models as they arrived for their fitting--clean, freshly washed hair," Pita told me. "So we're trying to create that look, but we have to work for it because these models are coming from other shows and have other products in their hair."
To mimic hair's natural, effotless-looking texture, Pita used a CHI Orbit wand to press into the strands and create an S-curl--creating ridges and waves.
As for Pita's hair? Two weeks ago he put it on top of his head in a big ponytail, and just lopped off the ends--with his textured look, he can certainly pull it off! I asked him how he styles it each day and he says, "I wet it. That's it." Hmmm... must be nice!
To prep the models, hairdressers also used CHI Touch blowdryers--and we caught up with Colorado hairdresser, 2013 NAHA winner and Shear Genius alumn, Matthew Morris, to learn all about the COOL FACTOR behind this touchscreen dryer. Check it out here!
