MARTINSBURG - A Kearneysville woman charged in connection with a high-speed police pursuit last month that ended in a fiery car crash that sent three people to the hospital was arrested Saturday following another police pursuit.
Michelle Lynn Warnick, 30, of Jefferson Orchard Road, was arraigned Sunday on felony charges of fleeing in a vehicle with reckless indifference, possession with intent to distribute heroin and possession with intent to distribute Oxycodone, as well as misdemeanor charges of shoplifting second offense, driving on a suspended license third offense and fleeing on foot in connection with Saturday's police chase.
She was also arraigned on warrants charging her with fleeing in a vehicle causing bodily harm, misdemeanor possession of heroin, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license in connection with the May 5 police pursuit that ended when the car she was driving crashed off Old Mill Road and caught fire. Warnick was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Fairfax, Va., after the single-vehicle wreck and two passengers were taken to Berkeley Medical Center.
That pursuit began after a Ford Mustang driven by Michael Stevenson Viands, 35, of Clarksburg, W.Va., was pulled over by the West Virginia State Police on Interstate 81 South for swerving. Viands fled the traffic stop and, shortly afterward, his Mustang crashed near Martinsburg. Warnick was found in the driver's seat, and Viands later told police he switched seats with her during the pursuit. Both Viands and Warnick were trapped in the car after the wreck. Another passenger was found on the ground bleeding from his head, records show.
According to court records, Saturday's pursuit began shortly after 2:19 p.m. as police were responding to the Best Buy on Retail Commons Parkway for a report of a shoplifting. Staff told police they saw Warnick take a cellphone case off a shelf and into a restroom. A staff member followed her into the bathroom and found the phone cover packaging in the trash.
Warnick was detained and escorted to an office, where she shoved two employees and fled the store on foot.
As police were responding to the scene, a trooper saw a red Jeep Liberty erratically turn onto Apple Harvest Drive. The driver of the vehicle, later identified as Warnick, matched the description of the suspect from the shoplifting incident, records show.
When police attempted to pull Warnick over, she sped up and fled. As she sped up to avoid being pulled over, she traveled left of center and negotiated turns at a high rate of speed, records show.
Warnick later pulled into a driveway on Apple Harvest Drive and erratically drove past a tractor that was being driven in the driveway. She drove to the end of the driveway before jumping out of the Jeep and running through a barnyard where police lost of sight of her, records show.
Police searched the area and Warnick was found hiding in the back corner of a barn behind a piece of farming equipment. A small purse was found on the ground about six feet away from her that contained heroin, syringes and other heroin-related drug paraphernalia. In the same area where Warnick was found hiding, police found a bag of fresh syringes and two sets of digital scales, records show.
Inside the Jeep, police found a second purse that contained a prescription pill bottle filled with 26 Oxycodone pills. Police also found a cellphone secured in the case Warnick allegedly shoplifted from Best Buy and a box of clear sandwich bags.
As of Monday, Warnick was being held at Eastern Regional Jail on $66,500 bail.

One of the running gags in my father's long-standing daily column of some 40 years was his aversion to okra. He just couldn't stand it — particularly plain boiled okra. Lila Adams happened to save an old clipping from The News and Courier containing a recipe that would supposedly cure anyone's distaste for okra. Even Ashley Cooper's. She gave it to me by virtue of the connection.
It's a clipping of "Recipes Loved and Lost" and I imagine it is 30-40 years old. "Ashley Cooper," a reader submitted, "must be in the minority, as everyone I know loves okra ANY way. I'm sharing a recipe my mother-in-law taught me. She's a Kentuckian!
Okra Patties
1/4 pound okra, sliced thin
1 medium tomato, chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
1 egg
Milk (about 1/3 cup)
Salt and pepper
Combine okra, tomato and onion in a bowl. Add beaten egg and about 1/3 cup of milk. Add flour until mixture is of pancake batter consistency. Season. Melt shortening in skillet; cook batter as you would a pancake. Serve hot.
Personally speaking, I can understand why people may not like boiled okra. There's just something about green, slimy okra that rubs some people the wrong way and probably more so than the actual flavor. This would be analogous to slimy raw oysters, which some people loathe. Steam them properly, though, and those same people can't get enough.
But I love a good okra soup, like fried okra, and do tolerate boiled. I don't think I've ever heard of okra patties and certainly don't recall ever trying them. Once the fresh okra arrives, I may consider the above — maybe. No promises! Thank you, Mrs. Adams, for the clipping.
I-26 tree removal
Count my voice among the many who take issue with the S.C. Department of Transportation's plans to remove 30 miles of trees from the Interstate 26 median that extends roughly from Summerville to Interstate 95.
It's easy to call this a knee-jerk reaction. If it is, then I'd say the department can be excused for making it since lives are being lost in disproportionate numbers along this stretch, and the tendency is just to react and fix it. If it's not, then I would say more thought needs to be given toward better solutions.
Either way, it's fascinating how trees assume magical powers the further one is removed from Charleston. They apparently cause people to text, drive drunk, speed and not pay attention, all while exerting a kind of hypnotic stupor. If you look closely enough, you'll really see apple trees throwing their apples at cars just like the ones in "The Wizard of Oz" that harass Dorothy and her intrepid companions.
Seriously, no one wants to blame anybody, particularly the unfortunate souls who have died along this stretch of I-26. But it seems equally strange to blame inanimate things, as if they jump out from the median and into the middle of the highway, when all they do is one simple thing: beautify.
When I-26 first opened, people were truly surprised at how lovely certain sections of the interstate were. The stretch between Summerville and I-95 remains that way, and is arguably an example of good design — not bad.
Unless the funds are sequestered (the latest "it" word), I would strongly advocate an increased police presence, making texting absolutely illegal and backed by hefty fines, and even the use of cameras to look for wayward or erratic driving (in addition to speeding).
To what extreme does one logically blame Mother Nature and react accordingly, all in the name of driver safety, before all that's left is nothing? Cutting those trees may be the easiest solution, but is it the most balanced and reasonable? No!
On old buildings
Regarding historic Charleston, Walter Duane says, "Thanks for your article on the old library building and on preservation in general. Let me say at the outset that I am usually on the side of preservation. and I live in an old house.
"At one time, many were only interested in saving old buildings if they were antebellum or happened to be in certain sections of the city.
"In the late '30's I worked in a grocery store on the corner of King and Broad Streets. Many houses on the lower peninsula weren't attractive. In recent years, what with new paint jobs, shutters and window boxes, houses have gotten much more attractive and appear cozy.
"Despite South of Broad's reputation, if one were riding up Meeting Street extension, for example, one would have seen many beautiful houses in unincorporated areas. The old town in the North Area had some beautiful houses even if they weren't historic. There are beautiful old houses throughout the county.
"As mentioned above, I live in an old house. Windows rattle, floors creak, and it's expensive to heat. So how does one handle an old house? As the song says about a woman, you must 'love her, love her, love her.' "

One of the aims of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project
is to give the underprivileged new opportunities and experiences they otherwise
wouldn't have. Interestingly enough, some school children are using their
laptops to browse pornographic Internet sites.
According to a Reuters
report, a reporter at the official News
Agency of Nigeria discovered pornographic images on the donated laptops
from a U.S. aid organization. It is unclear whether or not school children were
actually caught in the act of browsing such websites.
"Efforts to promote learning with laptops in a primary
school in Abuja have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with
explicit sexual materials," reported the News Agency of Nigeria.
Perhaps in response to the discovery of the OLPC's side
features, a representative for the laptop project said that the computers will
now be fitted with filtering software.
quote: The point is that money that is being spent on OLPCs could be better spent building more schools, hiring more teachers, buying books, etc. The money is being spent, why not spend it on something known to be worthwhile?

Kanye West is the subject of a Beverly Hills Police investigation after a man claimed on Monday that the rapper assaulted him.
"The named suspect was identified as Kanye West by the victim and several witnesses," says a police statement. "Mr. West had left the location prior to officers' arrival. As of this writing, BHPD detectives are conducting a follow-up investigation."
A source close to Kim Kardashian says it was the bystander – who has not been identified – who instigated the event and threatened the reality star.
"Kim was walking into a furniture meeting for their new home," the source tells PEOPLE. "Kanye was there ahead of her for the meeting. So Kim gets there and walks into the building with a million paparazzi trailing her."
The source says a Caucasian man began yelling racial obscenities to the paparazzi, then when Kardashian told him "that wasn't cool," the man began hurling epithets at her about her and West.
"At this point Kim was seriously afraid for her life," the source continues. "He was going nuts. Kanye came down to help her but then the guy ran into a chiropractic office so Kim and Kanye walked in after him."
The man verbally confronted West with obscenities, and at one point West hit him – "barely," the source insists.
A lawyer for West wasn't immediately available for comment.
West has a history of scuffles: In 2008, he was arrested after getting into a fracas with photographers at LAX, but charges were eventually dismissed after he completed anger management classes. Also that year, the rapper was arrested in the UK after a similar brush, but he was released with no charges filed. Last July, West tangled with a photographer again at LAX, a case which is still pending.

WBB Earns 83-75 Road Victory At IPFW Sunday
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Ball State's women's basketball team tallied a 83-75 victory over IPFW Sunday night in the Gates Sports Center. With the win, the Cardinals improve to 5-6 overall, while the Mastodons fell to 7-7.
Four Cardinals scored in double figures with senior guard Brandy Woody leading the way with 22 points. Woody also made 13-of-14 free throws for the game. Sophomore forward Nathalie Fontaine ended the night with 17 while teammates senior forward Katie Murphy and freshman guard Jill Morrison each had 14 apiece.
The win marked one of the Cardinals best shooting performances of the season. Ball State shot 53.1 percent for the game while holding the Mastodons to 39.3 from the field.
Ball State opened the second half with a 13-0 run to go up 50-13 with just three minutes shaved off the clock. Murphy started the scoring spree off with a layup while Woody and Morrison followed with back-to-back three pointers.
With 6:40 left to play, the Cardinals had built their largest lead of the contest, 71-55, which came off of free throws from Woody. Like the first half, IPFW managed to chip away at the Cardinals lead after going on a 14-2 run making it a 73-69 contest with 2:53 left.
For the game Ball State went 24-of-28 from the charity stripe helping the Cardinals seal the victory down the stretch. Woody made eight straight in the closing minutes of the ball game.
Fontaine started the game off with a layup to give Ball State the early 2-0 edge over IPFW. The Cardinals would then put together a 25-13 run allowing Ball State to take the 27-13 lead over IPFW with 10:09 remaining in the first half. After that, IPFW responded with a 28-12 run to take a 37-36 halftime advantage over the Cardinals.

Based on the author's extensive clinical, forensic and research experience, this article addresses the scientific and moral question of whether it is ever in the best interests of a child to be given a psychiatric drug. The focus is on the diagnosis Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and stimulant drugs, and on the diagnosis Bipolar Disorder and antipsychotic (neuroleptic) drugs. The conclusion is that we should work towards a prohibition against giving psychiatric drugs to children, and instead focus on safe and effective alternative ways of meeting the needs of children within their families, schools and society. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd and National Children's Bureau.

Record-breaking swimmer continues to inspire
22 April 2014
Just three months shy of his 100th birthday, John Harrison is officially Britain's oldest competitive swimmer, and is still making a splash in a truly remarkable way.
Describing swimming as 'relaxing', six-time-world record holder John is living proof that age is nothing but a number.
"When I first started I was not a very good swimmer but I am like a penguin," says John, who turns 100 in July 2014. "Once I am in the water I am happy. I like the training, I normally train once a week in the pool but 'dry train' every day for half an hour with strength ropes."
99-year-old Harrison currently holds six world records, 15 European and 46 British records on his long list of achievementsJohn's competitive swimming career began in 1992, when he was 77 years old. He currently holds six world records, a staggering 15 European and 46 British records on his illustrious list of achievements.
It's fair to say the age-defying athlete feels as youthful now as he was in his first career as a 20-year old in the Navy.
"I never thought about giving up. When my body tells me to stop I will," John adds.
"My family friends think I am very lucky and a bit of a marvel. When people ask me what I aim for I always say the same, I just want to live until tomorrow and if I do that, will be a bonus. I am just a swimmer. A lucky one. I shouldn't really be here after HMS Belfast. Most of the crew aren't.
"I invalided out the Navy in 1945. I got blown up on HMS Belfast which didn't do my spine any good at all. I have never had any injuries in the pool though."
Having been swimming for 22 years and counting, he says he is determined to carry on swimming competitively for as long as he can and competes for the Godalming and Royal Navy Masters swimming clubs.
John is living proof you are never too old to make a splash in the pool - click here to find out more.

Stepping effortlessly from myth to cutting-edge science, Mutants gives a brilliant narrative account of our genetic code and the captivating people whose bodies have revealed it—a French convent girl who found herself changing sex at puberty; children who, echoing Homer's Cyclops, are born with a single eye in the middle of their foreheads; a village of long-lived Croatian dwarves; one family, whose bodies were entirely covered with hair, was kept at the Burmese royal court for four generations and gave Darwin one of his keenest insights into heredity. This elegant, humane, and engaging book "captures what we know of the development of what makes us human" (Nature).

Comment, Living in Limbo: Mandatory Detention of Immigrants Under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act of 1996
Amy Kathleen Langenfeld
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Arizona State Law Journal, Vol. 31, p. 1041, 1999
This Comment discusses the troubling implications of the 1996 reforms with respect to international human rights law and the Due Process Clause and separation of powers safeguards of the United States Constitution. Part II describes the challenges faced by immigrants detained in the United States. Part III discusses the Reform Act's performance under international human rights standards as well as domestic standards such as due process and separation of powers. Part IV presents recommendations for any or all of the three branches of federal government to reconcile immigration policies with these standards. For example, one option for ensuring that the Reform Act's expedited removal and mandatory detention provisions conform with due process and separation of powers is restoring immigrants' access to judicial review. However, other practical options have been proposed. Some of the available solutions would accommodate immigrants' need for protection and governmental needs for effective immigration laws, and would not require legislative overhaul of the Reform Act.

RR Auctions/Associated Press
RR Auctions/Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. � Truman Capote�s 1958 typed manuscript of �Breakfast at Tiffany�s� is rife with the author�s handwritten edits � most notably changing the femme fatale�s name from Connie Gustafson to the now-iconic Holly Golightly.
Its plot � built around a young woman who supports herself through trysts with various wealthy lovers � was controversial. Harper�s Bazaar bought serialization rights for $2,000, then balked at its explicit content and profuse profanity. Esquire magazine purchased it from Harper�s and launched it toward its 1961 silver screen adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn.
The manuscript is being offered for sale by a New Hampshire auction house and is expected to net at least $250,000 later this month.
It is the centerpiece of hundreds of Hollywood-themed items offered by RR Auctions in its online auction April 18-25. Other items include memorabilia autographed by James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Judy Garland and Lucille Ball. Also offered is an 8 mm film of Marilyn Monroe visiting Army troops in South Korea in February 1954, shot by a lieutenant with the 24th Infantry Division.
�It�s obviously quite a treasure, quite a find for us,� RR Auctions vice president Bobby Livingston said of the Capote manuscript. He said the source of the manuscript wants to remain anonymous, but linked it to the estate of a �very famous� Madison Avenue autograph collector.
Livingston said Capote made changes throughout the 86-page manuscript, including crossing out every reference to Connie Gustafson and replacing them with Holly Golightly. On the first page of the manuscript he handwrote the title.
�He was about to turn it in (to Random House) and he was inspired to change that name,� Livingston said.
Livingston said the auction was not timed to a new Broadway adaption of �Breakfast at Tiffany�s� now playing at New York City�s Cort Theater, saying that was just �serendipitous.�
Capote � in creating his Holly Golightly character � is said to have found inspiration in his close friendships with designer Gloria Vanderbilt and Oona O�Neill, daughter of playwright Eugene O�Neill.
�Breakfast at Tiffany�s� was not Capote�s debut. He had received critical acclaim for his novel �Other Voices, Other Rooms,� a decade earlier.
But when �Breakfast at Tiffany�s� was published, Norman Mailer wrote that he didn�t know Capote well but thought of him as �the most perfect writer of my generation. ... I would not have changed two words in �Breakfast at Tiffany�s.��

After a weekend at home, Amy Winehouse has returned to the hospital for ongoing treatment.
The 25-year-old singer, whose well-documented substance abuse has triggered a string of medical interventions, spent the past week being treated at the London Clinic. She left the hospital on Friday, but checked back in Monday.
"She had a chest infection [last week] and underwent some tests to make sure nothing else was wrong," a source tells PEOPLE. (Earlier this year, doctors diagnosed the Grammy-award-winning chanteuse with scarring of the lungs.)
Is Winehouse finally committed to getting healthy?
"She has been told to give up smoking and was initially struggling with that – she was covered in nicotine patches at one point," says the source. "But she is making an effort."
The notoriously skinny singer was photographed looking somewhat fuller in the face last weekend – a healthier look that won praise from two British tabloids.
Despite her health woes, Winehouse has been recording tracks in her home studio for an upcoming album, her London-based rep, Chris Goodman, tells PEOPLE.
The 25-year-old has even been learning to play the drums, he adds. "We'll have to see how that plays out on the next album."

The Stetson lacrosse team (0-12, 0-1) will play its final home games of the season this weekend. The Hatters host Atlantic Sun Conference foes Detroit (2-11, 1-0) and Kennesaw State (0-7, 0-1) on Friday and Sunday, respectively.
Friday's contest is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at the Athletic Training Center, as Stetson aims to earn its first win in program history. The Hatters welcome the Titans, who are sporting a 2-11 overall record, which includes a recent 16-5 victory over A-Sun member Howard.
Detroit's only other win on the season came against Delaware State, topping the Hornets 15-1 back on Feb. 24. The Titans are led on offense by Zaynib Hamze and Erin Campbell, who have recorded 23 and 22 goals, respectively, during the 2013 season.
Sunday will mark Senior Day for the Hatters. This first-year program will honor lone senior, captain Kristina Cicchetti, prior to the first draw at 4:00 p.m. Stetson will then take on fellow first-year squad Kennesaw State, which is also looking for its first ever victory.
The Owls have competed in just seven games in their first season, playing all but two away from home thus far. KSU's best offensive output came in a 21-12 home loss to Coastal Carolina. The team has not yet held an opponent under 20 goals in 2013.
Both Friday's and Sunday's contests will feature a live video stream on HatterVision and ASun.TV, as well as Live Stats at GoHatters.com. Fans can also stay up to date with Stetson Lacrosse by following the team on Twitter (@StetsonLacrosse), Facebook, and signing up for Hat-Alerts.

...whenever I pull out this Bijou Envelope, which I use to hold my daily journal and a Levenger True Writer fountain pen. I've been asked where I purchased it -- info I gladly share. Once I put it in the hands of the curious, its closes the deal. I'm a fan of Levenger's fine leathers, but none compares to the wonderful tactile qualities of the Bijou lambskin. At this price, it's a must have item.

Love it. Great leather and color. U can fit some paper in also.
Now in the Value Range
By JMCA
from Rancho Mirage, CA
This slipcase was designed for women. However it comes in black and it's not that far off the mark for men. It is well designed, and has a great feel. The whip stitching gives it a more male oriented look. At 119 it was in the overpriced range, and at 49 it is in the good value range. I have an iPad air and it fits beautifully with the smart cover attached.
Really classy
By SparrowGirl

I recently purchased a Kindle Fire 8.9" and was looking for something to carry it around in to protect it. This product serves as well for a Kindle Fire 8.9" as it does for an iPad. I like the style and details (whipstitch trim and studs) and the leather really is a soft as promised. I'll feel very classy pulling this out of my tote bag on a trip!

I think it's simple. You exercise too much. Tested your pulse rate and temperature? Dial back on the exercising and you should see an improvement.
Hey everyone,
So about a year ago I really developed bad dark circles and bloodshot eyes, I sneeze a little bit here and there - so obviously point to allergies. It started when I went gluten free and did low carb for a while but then it never went away. I think stress really triggered it as I was really stressed and although I have really made strides in my stress levels they are still there (although I will admit I still have a ways to go).
I am really athletic (ripped, strong, fast) with a 185lb build and I'd say 10% body fat (visible abs). I work very hard and sometimes am too much of a perfectionist. The only time they seem to go down is when I'm taking my enzymes (I take Trienza to help with any extra gluten/casein) and really only eating meats, veggie, and oats (I'm a high carber about ~300g per day sometimes more as I run a lot because I am required to for at least one more year). Things like nuts and low carb and eating anything in sight seem to aggravate the allergies. I also lose weight decently easily if I don't keep up with the calories intensely.
I also sleep from 10-6:30 most days and 11-8 or 9 on the weekends so it's not sleep that is the issue. Although I'll admit to depressions at times, some days it gets worse, others no so much (anyone with experience on depression and dark circles and beating it?).
I've read the Chris Kesser story about pizza and beer and about social isolation. I think I may be dealing with some of that because I don't go out sometimes in order to avoid your typical pizza and beer with the guys. I'm worried that if I go into that more or less I will just make the circles worse, however it is possible that the circles will get better with a worse diet and less stress? I just don't know how I can make my diet any better besides trying GAPS or SCD but I can't do that at University and I'm here for another 1.5 years at least.
I would really appreciate some helps fellow MDA readers. =)
I think it's simple. You exercise too much. Tested your pulse rate and temperature? Dial back on the exercising and you should see an improvement.
Make America Great Again
I stopped exercising for a period of about half a year and things just got worse. I don't think that is the problem. I can't dial down on the exercise because my tuition is covered by my athletic performance.
My pulse is usually 61-63 but I have high blood pressure somewhat - but my doctor thinks its stress mediated. Usually about 140/60 (he thinks so because only the top number is high which he says can be easily caused by anxiety). Could it just be that I'm not getting certain type of sleep because I am somewhat depressed and stressed?
Temperature was okay and so were thyroid tests (yes I did free T3 and T4 and the naturopath I saw said both were in optimal range, and my TSH was about 1.3ish).
Do you feel well rested after waking? And, yes, stress and depression can cause that reaction.
High blood pressure, how is your electrolyte balance, specifically because you're an athlete. Low salt intake?
Make America Great Again
Sometimes I am tired, but for the most part my energy levels are decent. Definitely not like they used to be, as I am sure that is related to the mental component.
Salt intake does not seem to factor into my blood pressure, low or high.
Considering how it started when I was eating almost no carbs, all organic meats, some berries, great fats, nuts, tons of veggies and greens - I am a little weary anymore that it is my diet.
I have enough energy to crank out a good workout in the gym and on the track. I bench 225lbs and can sprint a 52 second 400m so I think it may just be related to the depression. I'm definitely a Type A personality, 4.0 GPA, 'perfect diet', etc - but lots of people also see me as high strung out and would like to see me just relax a bit. I seem to stress over diet and relationships mainly. I think it mainly started with girl problems - which I think the Chris Kesser Pizza and Beer story relates to me.
I think you're just overworking yourself still. If you're going to be avidly exercising, you need to minimize the stress that occurs with it, which means enough rest during exercising and after. If you can't breathe comfortably through your nose during exercise, you're working too hard, and compromising your co2 levels. It sounds like, not only do you exercise frequently, but you work very hard at every aspect of your life. This perfectionist mentality could also be causing your depression.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Something that helped me when I was sprinting and bike riding, was high quality sugar and protein before exercise, sugar during exercise, and a b1 supplement before and after.
You're not following a Ray Peat diet, probably, but Cliff writes something interesting on exercising here:
Make America Great Again
Well, taking 6 months off exercise just made things worse. I sleep a ton and eat a ton. I'm not sure what else I can being to improve that rest after - except for decreasing stress which I'm not sure yet if that will include dietary changes.
I really can't change my exercise because I'm on a team and have certain responsibilities to perform. I've tried sugar before and after exercise also.
I appreciate the advice, and I think your right about the perfectionist attitude. I'm thinking maybe I just need to take a break and eat well most of the time when I can by myself and then enjoy whatever with my friends.
yeah, there is a balance. Don't let orthorexia get in the way of relaxing and spending time with friends, especially during the prime of your life. Plenty of time to worry about those things later in life.
Make America Great Again
Thanks for the advice. =) I'm really just hoping to hear some success stories more than anything and some reinforcement that this is what I should follow versus something else like dietary modifications or else wise.
I think the biggest sign would be the high top BP number despite being in great running and overall athletic shape, quit puzzling - but I guess also staring me in the face.

I don't know how true this is, but the traditional Chinese medicine view of dark circles is that they are related to the liver. Liver function is linked somehow to quality of sleep, and then anything that stresses the liver too much can cause them- lack of sleep, drinking, etc.
I'm not sure how that applies to you, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Metabolomics analyzes and quantifies all metabolites in a given biological sample. Powerful instrumentation along with sophisticated chemometric software allows for comparison of changes in thousands of chemical entities.
Metabolomics is becoming sufficiently mature to complement other systems biology tools and to deliver medically relevant results.
According to some metabolomics researchers, continued development of metabolomics platforms and technologies will inevitably lead to development of rapid and comprehensive disease diagnostics. This and other ideas were discussed at OMICS group's "Metabolomics and Systems Biology" conference last month.
"Interpretations of metabolomics signatures will make rapid bedside diagnostics possible," agreed Chris Beecher, Ph.D., CSO, NextGen Metabolomics. "In 5–10 years this information will transform our diagnostic capabilities. The meaningful metabolome interpretation will be available to a physician within minutes for a fraction of the cost of today's analyses."
NextGen is contributing to this vision by perfecting Isotopic Ratio Outlier Analysis™ (IROA), a mass-spectrometry-based protocol that enables efficient identification of all biological metabolites in a sample and their relative concentration, said Dr. Beecher.
The technology has its roots in a physiochemical phenomenon of naturally occurring C13 atoms. C13 has an extra neutron producing a pattern of additional peaks for each metabolite in a sample. Because of their low natural abundance and the presence of other elemental isotopes, these additional peaks (called M+1, M+2, etc.) are very small and not very informative.
"We simply boosted the C13 concentration by growing cells in a culture media engineered with precise balances of C13-bearing components," continued Dr. Beecher. "When you compare a culture grown with 5% C13 with culture grown in 95% C13, each metabolite will be represented by a symmetrical pattern of C12 and C13 peaks. The parameters of this pattern tell us how many carbons the molecule contains and its mass."
The mirror symmetry of MS peaks in IROA experiments enables rapid classification of all peaks as real cell products (have mirror counterparts) or artifacts and contaminants (no enhanced M+1, M+2, etc.). NextGen computer algorithms look for the same symmetry to perform phenotyping experiments.
To identify metabolites in tissue biopsies, the tissue cells are analyzed together with "standard" cells that were isotopically labeled with IROA C13 media. The tissue-derived metabolites can be easily identified by their mass and position relative to the standard.
The company demonstrated a significant proof of principle for toxicology analysis of drug candidates. Dr. Beecher's team used IROA to show the response of every metabolite in the cell to flucytosine, a well-characterized inhibitor of DNA synthesis. The data showed clear response in metabolic pathways related to nucleotide biosynthesis, but not in other pathways.
"We plan to perfect this technology to answer fundamental questions in drug development," commented Dr. Beecher. "What toxicities should we expect? What is the biological reason for this toxicity?" NextGen plans to set up internal biomarker and toxicology discovery departments based on IROA technology.
Antibody-based proteomic methods deploy sample fractionation followed by separation by liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). Such enrichment strategies lower the "noise" from abundant proteins and focus the instrument time on the proteins of interest.
"Our motif antibodies recognize a particular post-translational modification (PTM), such as phosphorylation or ubiquitination," said Matthew P. Stokes, Ph.D., scientist III, proteomics service group, Cell Signaling Technology.
"Motif antibodies and other generalized enrichment strategies produce large datasets but sometimes miss critical signaling proteins that are without the targeted motif or that are present at low levels. Our PTMScan™ Direct approach is unique; in addition to a PTM, our antibodies recognize the surrounding amino-acid context."
Cell Signaling Technology generates hundreds of proprietary antibodies against specific post-translationally modified peptide targets in selected signaling pathways. Antibodies are formulated into one of the six PTMScan Direct Reagents. The DNA Damage/Cell Cycle Reagent, for instance, targets 263 sites on 137 proteins, and the Apoptosis/Autophagy Reagent targets 175 sites on 100 proteins.
"Each target peptide is rigorously validated using multiple strict criteria," continued Dr. Stokes. "Moreover, we digest the starting material with trypsin, which helps to expose the binding site and ensures that single peptides are immunoprecipitated rather than whole proteins or protein complexes, further improving specificity of binding to our reagents. Our antibodies are capable of recognizing individual activation sites on a single protein."
The company provides custom services for targeted screening and quantification of signaling pathways critical for drug and biomarker discovery. Added Dr. Stokes, "We are constantly innovating and developing new reagents and kits for our customers. But we also maintain an extensive R&D program identifying disease drivers in cancer."
The company used its profiling technologies to demonstrate the aberrant activation of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) in ovarian cancer. The screening data was supported by further biological validation confirming ALK as a potential therapeutic target.
Further investigations shed light on the underlying mechanisms of acquired resistance to treatment with ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors. PTMScan Direct Profiling of drug-resistant tumors revealed aberrations in multiple signaling pathways, providing the evidence for rational selection of combination therapies.

The stretch of the Amherst bike path that meanders along Tonawanda Creek Road is supposed to be dedicated to walkers, runners and cyclists. But the truth is, this "dedicated" path often brings its unprotected pedestrians into very close proximity to fast-moving traffic.
"Where it's real close to the road, there is no separator," said Amherst Highway Superintendent Robert N. Anderson.
And that reality was hammered home Sunday when David A. Smith, 53, was accused of leaving the roadway and plowing his motorcycle into several pedestrians on the adjacent path, killing two of them and injuring one. Smith, who is being held without bail, was charged with driving while intoxicated and criminally negligent homicide.
Parts of the Tonawanda Creek path have pedestrians and cyclists sharing the road with vehicles. On other stretches, there's a much greater distance from the roadway, with dense woods separating path users from the street. But in the section where Smith is accused of killing two women, the winding path runs right alongside Tonawanda Creek Road.
The accident resulted in the deaths of Jocelyn B. Elberson, 25, and senior marathoner Sheila Pelton, 81. It also injured Pelton's husband, Foster, 79, who suffered multiple fractures and a collapsed lung but is expected to recover. He learned that his wife had died Sunday evening after repeatedly asking for her.
Pat LaDuca, a family friend, said she visited the husband at Erie County Medical Center on Monday. Both of them were grief-stricken.
"We both didn't speak for a while," she said. "He was so sad."
Smith, the motorcycle driver, is also a patient at ECMC, but his condition was not disclosed Monday. Police are still awaiting lab results regarding his blood-alcohol content.
The tragedy of Sunday's crash brings some renewed anxiety to the hundreds of people who travel the bike path. Since Sunday turned out to be a beautiful and unseasonably warm day, it's no surprise that pedestrians were hit when the powerful motorcycle left the roadway.
That doesn't necessarily mean, however, that this stretch of the bike path is unsafe, even though it may feel that way to the people who walk it.
Pendleton resident Charlie Porter, one of a number of residents who called 911 after the fatal crash occurred, said he has run several times a week along that stretch of the bike path for about eight years. Whenever he's running on the road with traffic or on the section of the path that runs within a few feet of Tonawanda Creek Road, he said, he always has a heightened sense of awareness.
A guardrail along the stretch that brings the bike path adjacent to Tonawanda Creek might be useful, Porter said.
"It would at least be a barrier," he said.
But neither he nor town or police officials recall any frequency of accidents along this part of the path, even though the potential for a serious accident – similar to what occurred Sunday – remains.
Within the last three years, there have been 68 reported car accidents along the entire stretch of Tonawanda Creek Road, most at intersections. Only one incident in 2010 involved that stretch of roadway, said Amherst Police Capt. Patrick M. McKenna. It occurred during the winter when a car was reported to have landed in a ditch, he said.
Anderson said the path sometimes runs right alongside Tonawanda Creek Road because there simply isn't enough stable land to allow for any buffer. The land nearest the creek is marshy, and the town has encountered recent problems in which the land under the bike path has eroded, creating public safety emergencies for the town.
He also questioned whether additional safety precautions would preclude a drunken driver from causing harm.
Amherst Council Member Guy R. Marlette, liaison to the town's Traffic Safety Committee, echoed similar sentiments.
"No matter where you are or what precautions you take, if someone on any roadway is going to be driving recklessly or under the influence, all the precautions in the world aren't going to prevent that," he said.
Until now, he said, no one has suggested to his committee that the Tonawanda Creek path is unsafe because of the proximity to vehicular traffic. In light of the recent accident, however, he expects someone to recommend that the committee further review the matter.
Supervisor Barry A. Weinstein also said he plans to take up the issue with the Planning Department this week.
Meanwhile, family and friends continue to mourn the loss of Elberson and Pelton. Friends of Pelton described her as an energetic and inspirational person, a breast cancer survivor who walked and ran marathons and half-marathons in her 60s and 70s, and rarely missed a day at the gym even at age 81. A volunteer with the local chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Pelton raised thousands of dollars through the races she participated in as a member of the group's "Team in Training," said Executive Director Nancy Hails.
"She was amazing. She really, really was," Hails said. "I think that we all, when we leave this world, we'd like to leave some legacy behind, and her footmark will forever be with us and our organization."
LaDuca, a longtime friend and personal trainer, said Pelton and her husband immigrated to the United States from England more than 20 years ago and have three grown children. She met Pelton 17 years ago, when her friend was still recovering from breast cancer treatment and decided she needed to get in better shape.
She was always up for a challenge, coming to the gym to stay fit despite surgeries and the setbacks that come with aging, friends said. She walked her first marathon at 68 and ran her first marathon at 75, Hails recalled. Her only concession to getting older, up until a few years ago, was cutting back to half marathons at her doctor's request.
"She had more energy, more enthusiasm and more heart than a lot of people have," Hails said.
As a breast cancer survivor, Pelton was a mentor to newcomers in the "Team in Training" program, providing encouragement through her volunteerism, even after her racing days were over, friends said.
LaDuca said, "It brings tears to my eyes when I hear how many people say, 'That woman changed my life.' "

With luck, Americans have heard the last of Jared Lee Loughner.
Loughner, 24, killed six and wounded 13 in January 2011 at an Arizona supermarket where then-Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was conducting a public event.
Giffords was severely wounded after being shot in the head. Among other limitations, she is partially blind, walks with a limp and has lost the use of her right arm. She resigned from Congress to focus on her recovery.
The former congresswoman was at Loughner's sentencing on Thursday. She didn't speak at the hearing. Her husband told Loughner, "Every day is a continuous struggle to do those things she once was so good at."
Under a plea agreement with the federal government, Loughner will spend the rest of his life behind bars without the possibility of parole. He received seven consecutive life sentences plus 140 years in federal prison.
The deal spared Loughner a possible death sentence, although Arizona authorities haven't said whether they will file state charges that could result in an execution. There seems to be little benefit from that prosecution as long as the federal convictions stand.
Now, those wounded by the shooting and the families of the victims have a chance to bring this horrible chapter in their lives to a close. A state prosecution, along with inevitable appeals, would only prolong the pain caused by Loughner.
Susan Hileman, who was shot three times in the attack, told Loughner in court on Thursday, "And now I walk out of this courtroom and into the rest of my life and I won't think of you again."
We hope for her benefit, that's true.
Loughner has taken so much. He doesn't deserve another moment of our time.

Numerous people Thursday night expressed their opposition to Moxie Energy's plans to build a power plant in Clinton Township.
The state Department of Environmental Protection hearing was held to allow public comment on the project, and many people made it clear they oppose it for environmental reasons.
"This plant will be basically in my back yard," said Linda Scott, of Clinton Township. "No, I do not want to live with all this going on. Absolutely not."

An audience member who declined to give his name asks a question at the state Department of Environmental Protection public hearing held Thursday night at the Clinton Township Fire Hall about a proposed air quality plan for a new gas-fired power plant on Saeger Station Road.

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
More than 150 people attended the public hearing at the Clinton Township fire hall on Thursday night. Most who spoke opposed the construction of a power plant along Saeger Station Road.
Scott said she already has experienced the industrial effects of other companies along the Route 405 corridor between Muncy and Montgomery.
Noise, traffic and health problems, she said, have worsened in recent years in the area.
"What's it going to be like in two years?" she asked.
Many others questioned the problems that may arise from plant emissions if it's built.
Gretchen Alfonso, of Philadelphia, a pregnant mother of two children, cautioned against ground level ozone and other air quality problems that can lead to respiratory problems.
DEP officials must approve an air quality plan prior to clearing the way for plant construction.
Moxie is developing an 800-megawatt combined cycle power plant fueled by natural gas.
Moxie President Aaron Samson told the audience that the availability of local natural gas deposits made it feasible for the company to locate in the township.
"We are hoping to start construction this year," he said.
He said the plant will provide jobs both in construction of the plant and permanent employment for others.
With coal plants set to close in coming years, there will be a demand for alternative sources of electricity, he explained.
The electricity will be delivered into a regional grid covering 13 states.
Terry Peck, of the Central Pennsylvania Building and Trades Council, said he supported the plant for the jobs it could bring.
He said union workers are the best people for meeting the exacting standards of such a project.
"We believe the project will be clean, safe and efficient," he added.
Jason Fink, of the Williamsport-Lycoming Chamber of Commerce, said his organization supported the project as well.
"We are pleased to see this type of development happening," he said.
But Elizabeth Arnold, of Philadelphia, said it represents yet another investment in fossil fuel energy.
David Robinson, a former Montgomery resident now living in Philadelphia, said he'd love to move back to his native Lycoming County but fears pollution is becoming worse.
"Natural gas is not clean no matter how you slice it," he said. "There's already terrible air quality."
Kevin Heatley, an environmental scientist, said greenhouse gases caused by plant emissions will trigger various health problems, including asthma.
He said the hearing likely will have no bearing on how DEP weighs the application process.
"I have a big problem with DEP," he said.
Matt Walker, of the Clean Air Council, challenged Moxie to provide documentation of the need for the plant.
Barb Jarmoska, of Gamble Township, said chemical pollutants from the plant will pose harmful, even dangerous effects for the public.
"Our children are in crisis," she said.
Michael Ochs, of Williamsport, said greenhouse gases already are on the rise.
"To be a patriot nowadays, one needs to be green," he said.
DEP will continue to accept written testimony from the public until Monday, Jan. 14. The testimony can be sent to: Department of Environmental Resources, Air Quality Program Manager, 208 W. Third St., Williamsport, PA 17701.

COLUMBIA - The state Senate twice elected a president pro tempore Wednesday, allowing Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell to resign and focus on his new responsibilities as president of the College of Charleston.
The power shift wasn't without controversy: One senator alleged a coup had taken place because of opposition to the University of Charleston bill.
Senators elected Yancey McGill, D-Kingstree, to the leadership position without opposition. He was sworn in as lieutenant governor after McConnell resigned. A Democrat has not held the seat since 1995, also under a Republican governor.
Minutes later, Sen. Hugh Leatherman, R-Florence, was subsequently elected president pro tempore, making him the most powerful member of the General Assembly. Leatherman also chairs the Senate Finance Committee.
McGill, a 26-year Senate veteran, praised McConnell's work as a senator and as lieutenant governor.
"Senator McConnell's academia and his strength could have been about Charleston," McGill said. "But it was not about Charleston. It was about helping every member in this chamber. ... And I just want to tell you that I appreciated the amount of love and compassion."
It was a tumultuous end to McConnell's 34-year career as a lawmaker. In his resignation letter read to the Senate by its clerk, McConnell said he found his duties as lieutenant governor "severely limited."
"Although I wanted to resign at the end of the regular session, I agreed to remain until June 19, 2014, so that acts could be ratified and a constitutional impasse would not happen," McConnell wrote. "All of this has been completed."
McConnell could not be reached for comment after he resigned.
McGill's 26-year Senate career comes to an end now that he has become lieutenant governor. He could run again for his seat, but it would mean starting again as a freshman legislator.
Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, who attended McGill's swearing-in, later issued a statement praising McGill, and made no mention of his party affiliation.
"The importance for South Carolina to have a lieutenant governor cannot be understated and I want to personally thank Yancey McGill for making this sacrifice," she said. "For 25 years, he has served this state and his district with great distinction and I know his legacy as a statesman will only grow in his new role. I offer my sincerest congratulations to our new lieutenant governor and his family - he has made South Carolina proud today."
While McGill's selection was uncontested, Leatherman's pick was contentious.
Sen. Shane Massey, R-Edgefield, blasted what he described as a coup put in place against the previous president pro tempore, Republican Sen. John Courson of Columbia, for opposing the University of Charleston bill, which died this week after strong divisions arose.
"I am convinced that this was a well-orchestrated coup," said Massey, adding it was because Courson dared to say no. "Let this be a warning: play ball or there will be consequences. Just ask Sen. Courson."
Massey also criticized the idea of electing Leatherman as the chairman of the Finance Committee. Leatherman would have too much power, he said.
"It is way too much power to put in the hands of any one legislator," he added. "The consolidation of power that I'm talking about is seriously concerning for me. I just, in good faith, cannot support it."
The vote was 42-2, with Massey and Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, dissenting.
Courson later joked that for there to be a coup there had to be dead bodies, and he was still standing. But he noted that the issues started when he wouldn't allow the U of C bill to go through without it being properly vetted.
As for Massey's concern with Leatherman having too much power, Courson said Leatherman's "got the piggy bank."
Leatherman thanked the Senate when he was sworn in.
"I love this Senate like you love this Senate," Leatherman said. "I will treat all of you with respect. We're not Democrats. We're not Republicans. We're South Carolina senators."

A pejorative referring to Mormons. Much as Seminole Indians were derogatorily called "swamp niggers," and Middle Easterners are derogatorily called "sand niggers," the term "salt nigger" combines the abusive term "nigger" to "salt," since Salt Lake City is a cultural and religious center for Mormons.
Speaker 1: "When that Mormon isn't bashing gays or pushing his book door-to-door, he's keeping his three wives down."
Speaker 2: "Yeah, he's a salt nigger alright."

Sensible Drug Policy News Roundup
Mexican drug smugglers caused the latest fire in California. End the war on drugs and we'd have 87,000 acres of California forest back, amongst other things. What would you rather have? More forests or less marijuana? Apparently we have to pick.
It's an oldie but a goodie. Cocaine is now found on 90% of US bills. That it's in our water supplies too should come to no surprise. Unfortunately, the drug gestapo will use these tidbits to rally their ranks. Wouldn't it be better to consider this a white flag of sorts? How the hell do you wage a war on drugs when victory entails regularly burning most of your paper money supply?
Two national newspapers recently spoke out against the war on drugs. One, suggesting a "pause" button for the war on drugs, the other going so far as to suggest legalizing drugs. Either is an improvement upon the status quo. For what it's worth, neither news outlet is considered (particularly) "liberal media" by the drug war mongers.
And our pals at CNN report on why people smuggle drugs. A high school student pulled in $50k running pot from Mexico. End the war on drugs to create legit tax paying drug jobs in the US.
The battle lines of the war on drugs reached professional sports some years ago. Big surprise. Offer somebody a few million to be really good at something. Create some drugs to help performance… and naturally people will use drugs. This whole drugs and sports thing is one of the most complicated aspects of a sensible drug policy. (Maybe more on that another time.) Homerun king Hank Aaron wants MLB to release the list of roid-using ballers. He also wants Pete Rose to be reinstated. We're okay with both sentiments. Is that weird?
And we'll end on a bright note. Earlier this year Salon wrote about Portugal's success decriminalizing drugs. That it works is no surprise to people who've researched what happens anywhere drugs are legalized. Crime drops. Tax revenue increases. Health improves. Prison costs drop. Etc.
Educate your self about a sensible drug policy. Do what you can to help end the war on drugs.

Tebow throws 2 TDs as Patriots beat Giants
Patriots 28, Giants 20
Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes and one interception and the New England Patriots beat the New York Giants 28-20 on Thursday night.
In an up-and-down performance in both teams' last preseason game, Tebow had a 52-yard touchdown pass and a 13-yard run. He was 6 for 11 for 91 yards. He also gained 30 yards on six carries for the Patriots (3-1).
The third-string quarterback also was sacked four times. But he ended his game with a 9-yard touchdown pass with 6 seconds left.
Tebow's future with the team wasn't much clearer than before the game started.
All teams must reduce their rosters to the regular-season limit of 53 players by 6 p.m. EDT Saturday, and coach Bill Belichick has given no indication of whether he will keep Tebow.
