The owner of four Cold Stone Creamery franchises in New Jersey is facing a breach-of-contract lawsuit, according to a report on MillburnPatch.com.
The report says Stephen Reiter, a Livingston resident and a partner with Chill Out Creamery, which ran Cold Stone Creamery franchises in Millburn, Plainsboro, Warren and Englewood, continued to operate after Cold Stone halted its franchise agreement with Chill Out. A "warrant for removal" sign hangs in the Millburn store's window and no one has been working there in recent days.

Fat Paralyzes Insulin, Making Diabetes Worse
Dietary fat acutely increases glucose concentrations and insulin requirements in patients with type 1 diabetes: Implications for carbohydrate-based bolus dose calculation and intensive diabetes management by Howard A. Wolpert, published November 2012 in the online issue of Diabetes Care, found that "this evidence that dietary fat increases glucose levels and insulin requirements highlights the limitations of the current carbohydrate-based approach to bolus dose calculation…and suggest(s) that dietary fat intake is an important nutritional consideration for glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes."
Comment: In most people's minds (including medical doctors), carbohydrate (sugar and starch) is the cause of diabetes. One result is that diabetics manage their disease and medications by "carbohydrate counting." According the American Diabetic Association this meal planning technique is used to keep your blood sugar in control by keeping track of how many carbohydrates are consumed. Although carbohydrate calories do count in the sense that the blood sugar goes up right after eating a meal, this effect does not make the underlying disease of diabetes worse.
Diabetes (both type-1 and type-2) is due to the reduction of the metabolic effects of the hormone, insulin. Insulin is released from the pancreas after eating and causes body cells to take up carbohydrate and fat cells to take up fat (triglycerides). When the actions of insulin become insufficient the blood sugar rises and diabetes is diagnosed. This ineffectiveness is caused by lack of insulin production (as in classic type-1 diabetes) or is due to insulin resistance (as in type-2 diabetes). This study shows that dietary fat reduces insulin activity. (In this case the insulin injected by a person with type-1 diabetes, but the same is true for insulin produced by the pancreas, as in a person with type-2 diabetes.)
Contrary to popular belief, refined sugars actually make the body's insulin work more efficiently. When the refined sugar content of an experimental diet of people with mild diabetes was doubled from 45 percent sugar to 85 percent sugar, every measurement of their diabetic condition, including fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin levels, and the oral glucose tolerance, showed that their diabetes improved.2 The researchers concluded, "These data suggest that the high-carbohydrate diet increased the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin." The increase in insulin's sensitivity (efficiency) counteracted any blood sugar-raising effects from consuming more carbohydrates and calories.
Therefore, diabetics should be "fat-counting," not "carbohydrate counting" in order to improve their underlying disease. Almost all type-2 diabetics can be cured of their disease by strictly avoiding fat (and the weight loss that follows eating starches, vegetables and fruits). Type-1 diabetics will find their insulin needs decreasing by about 30% when they avoid the fat and add the carbohydrate. All people, with or without diabetes, will find great improvements in their health from this simple dietary change.

Well, Rick Santorum got one thing right during the GOP primaries. Santorum said Mitt Romney would be the worst person in the country, let alone the Republican Party, to argue against the Affordable Care Act.
If you examine Romney's health-care mandate in Massachusetts while he was governor, it is almost a carbon copy of the president's, which was just upheld by the high court.
Romney, the ultimate spin-master (or flat-out liar) would have you believe his legislation was a good thing for Massachusetts at the time, but not for the nation as a whole.
Ahh Mitt, you got caught fibbing again. On more than one occasion, Romney has said his plan would be suitable for the 45 million uninsured citizens in the country.
Romney made a statement after the Supreme Court's decision. Now he should leave it alone and focus primarily on the economy. If Romney goes after the president hard during the upcoming debates in regard to the new law, he will for sure be embarrassed by Obama.
Let it go Mitt. Perhaps your well-heeled surrogates can fight this one for you. This is one battle you yourself cannot win.

There are lots of used book stores that would buy your books for various amounts of cash. The used book market is surprisingly large, and widespread (your books might be resold in Scandanavia.) In college, at the end of the semester, I would go through the trash and pick up textbooks. I would sell them for either credit or cash, and I financed most of my library like that. If one bookstore turns a book down, than try another. 73 Dave/KA1NCN/// -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: email@example.com Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com Problems: email@example.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search

What is in this article?:
• During the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, world nutrient demand rose in a fairly predictable fashion. That made it relatively easy to plan new nitrogen plants, new mines and things like that.
• Such ease of planning was wiped away in 1989 with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
• Several factors should lead to increases in long-term fertilizer demand.
Fertilizer use fell
Fertilizer use during the period fell by 9 percent for nitrogen, 23 percent for phosphates and 30 percent for potash. This led to "overcapacity in the industry and a very poor investment environment with respect to planning a new plant or mine."
For the next five years, 1995/1996 through 2000/2001, "world nutrient demand rose by only 7.9 million nutrient tons. We were still 5 percent below the peak of 1988/1989. Nutrient use actually fell in the United States in this period but the drop was more than offset by an increase in the rest of the world. Overall, world demand rose by only 1 percent a year during this period."
While showing a chart illustrating the number of acres of world grains harvested and total world grain production, Vroomen said ultimately it is "agriculture that demands fertilizer demand and it was that demand which turned things around." The chart shows "the number of acres harvested peaked in 1981 and is still down 5 percent from its peak. Yet, world grain production is up more than 50 percent since 1981."
At the time, 2004 to 2008 experienced "the largest levels of world grain production on record. All exceeded 2 billion metric tons. These record crops required significant nutrients and are the driving force behind the recent increase in world fertilizer demand."
From 2000 to 2007, fertilizer "world demand grew by nearly 23 percent … for an average of over 3 percent a year. Nitrogen use grew by 22 percent, phosphate by 17 percent, and potash by a whopping 31 percent."
The majority of this growth took place in China, India and Brazil.
"Chinese and Indian agriculture initially focused attention on the nitrogen side of the fertilizer market in order to increase yields. They eventually ran into phosphate deficiencies which limited further yield growth. (They, then) focused on increasing phosphate demand. A similar thing happened on the potash and they're now more focused on potash use. … This means that world potash demand should continue to grow quicker than nitrogen or phosphate in the future."
Vroomen pointed to the connection between natural gas and fertilizer. "As a primary feedstock for ammonia production, historically the cost of natural gas alone accounted for 70 percent of total ammonia production costs. All that changed when U.S. natural gas prices rose dramatically after 1999."
U.S. natural gas prices — "which historically averaged below $2 per million BTU" — quadrupled to over $8 by 2005. With such prices, natural gas accounted for nearly 90 percent of total ammonia production costs.
The consequences of this on the U.S. nitrogen industry were dramatic. "As gas prices rose, and continue to rise, producer margins were squeezed and eventually turned negative. A total of 25 ammonia plants (about 40 percent of total production capacity) closed from 1999 through 2005."
The drop in domestic production shrank U.S. nitrogen supplies and raised prices. The United States then turned to the world market for nitrogen and, from 1999/2000 to 2007/2008, "imports rose from 6.3 million nutrient tons to 11.7 million nutrient tons annually. And this happened at the same time we had a dramatic increase in world fertilizer demand."
The U.S. fertilizer industry — "which typically supplied 75 percent of farmer's nitrogen needs from U.S.-based plants prior to 2000 — now relies on imports for over half of its nitrogen supply."

BAY CITY, MI — A Bangor Township man prosecutors say drunkenly tortured his roommate's dog is facing several years in prison after pleading guilty to the crime.
Derek A. Keyes, 50, on Monday, March 31, appeared before Bay County Circuit Judge Harry P. Gill and pleaded guilty to one count of torturing or killing an animal. The charge is normally a four-year felony, but as Keyes pleaded as a habitual offender with a second offense sentencing enhancement, his maximum potential penalty is increased to six years.
The prosecution did not agree to dismiss any other charges, but they did reduce his habitual offender status from a fourth offense to a second offense. If Keyes had pleaded as a fourth-time offender, his maximum potential penalty would have been 15 years.
Keyes' charge results from an incident that happened on Saturday, Feb. 8. That afternoon, Bay County Sheriff's deputies responded to an assault call at 849 Shady Shore Drive. The call was placed by Jeremy Riness, who said his roommate, Keyes, had been making threatening gestures with a small sword or knife, court records show.
Upon arrival, deputies spoke with Riness and a friend outside, who told them Keyes was in the house with bloody hands. Deputies searched the home but did not find Keyes. A short while later, they found him in a garage down the street, in the company of two dogs, court records show.
One of the dogs, a pit bull mix named Lizzie and belonging to Riness, had a large, puncture-like wound on the top of her head, court records show.
Deputies took Keyes into custody, returned Lizzie to Riness and had Bay County Animal Control take the other dog, which belonged to Keyes, court records show.
Riness told deputies he had been living with Keyes after meeting him in a Tri-Cap Program for alcohol abuse. He said that morning he came home to see the house a mess. He left and returned a few hours later with a friend, and at that point Keyes was acting erratically.
Keyes tried goading Riness into a fight, Riness told deputies. At one point, Keyes lifted up his shirt an exposed a dark red sword handle in his waistband and said, "Try something" to Riness, court records show.
Riness and his friend began packing up his things to move out, Riness told deputies. He also noticed that someone had poured soap into his fish tank, killing the fish, court records show.
As Riness and his friend were packing, they heard a dog yelp loudly from the basement, Riness said. He and his friend went outside and called 911, fearing Keyes was abusing the dogs.
When deputies arrested Keyes, he reportedly asked them to shoot him and offered them $26,000 if they'd release him. Keyes submitted to a Breathalyzer test which indicated his blood alcohol level was at 0.18 percent. A person is legally intoxicated in Michigan when their blood alcohol level is at 0.08 percent.
Keyes initially told police Riness was acting wild and must have injured the dog. At the Bay County Jail, Keyes said, "I did a bad thing." When deputies asked him what that bad thing was, he replied that he hit a dog in the head with a hammer, court records show.
Deputies were unable to locate the small sword or knife Keyes reportedly had on him.
Keyes was on probation at the time of the offense, a Bay County judge in September 2012 having sentenced him to five years of it on charges of unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle, felon in possession of firearm and malicious destruction of personal property more than $200 but less than $1,000. Keyes pleaded guilty to all of the charges.
Gill is to sentence Keyes, who remains in custody, at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, May 12.

The output of the routine is stored in a 3D array of bytes that has the same dimensions as the volume (although each element is only one byte, regardless of the size of a voxel). For each voxel in the volume the corresponding byte in the output array is set by vpOctreeMask to one of three values: 0 if the voxel is definitely transparent, 255 if the voxel may be non-transparent, or 128 if the voxel may be non-transparent and there is more detailed information available at unvisited levels of the octree. The max_level argument specifies the deepest level of the octree to be visited (the root level is level 0).
A suggested way to use this routine is to compute an octree using a particular set of parameters and then call vpOctreeMask with several different values for max_level. For each resulting mask array, look at slices (or create a volume rendering!) and see how accurately the mask captures the general shape of the data in the original volume. The best set of parameters results in a mask that captures the general shape without an excessively small value for the minimum octree node size (which would result in a very large data structure and a lot of traversal overhead).

Welcome to Auctiometrix, a spin-off company of the Erasmus University Rotterdam
Auctiometrix is a global advisor to government agencies on the design and implementation of high stake (spectrum) auctions and to private-sector companies on the optimal bid strategy. Auctiometrix is adept at producing concise, understandable, yet scientifically sound advice to its clients. By basing its advice on sound academic principals, Auctiometrix is able to provide clients confidence that their actions are in line with the state of the art in academic thinking.
Auctiometrix developed (web-based) auction software that can be customized easily to client's wishes. The software incorporates - next to all standard auction formats - recent auction formats, such as combinatorial clock auctions and simultaneous multi-round ascending auctions with a hierarchical package structure.
Auctiometrix also designs seat upgrade auctions, where passengers with an economy class ticket bid against each other for a seat in business or first class. These auctions are a potential revenue gold mine as by this allocation method airlines can not only increase the number of business and first class customers but also the flight occupancy rate.
For laboratory experiments Auctiometrix makes use of the recently established ESE-econlab.
In the Netherlands, the auction was set up as a combinatorial clock auction, which is a relatively complex structure to master. Being able to test bidding tactic scenarios and rehearse bidding procedures proved very valuable to us. The web-based software accurately simulated the interface used during the auction and additional features such as the single user feature were straightforward in their use.

|Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute
The central idea of this unit is "The choices we make every day about how we use energy impact our environment and our lives." In this six-week unit, I will begin with the concept of energy. The students will brainstorm about what energy is, why it's important to us, and where it comes from. From that point, I will demonstrate the different types of energy, the sources of energy, and the effects each has on the environment. I will structure my lessons by teaching about fossil fuels first and then carbon-free powers. Upon completion of instruction on fossil fuels, I will use a map to demonstrate where our reserves are, and initiate discussion on our reliance to other countries and what problems that can cause. Similarly, in concluding the lessons on carbon-free powers, I will use maps to show what countries are using these sources. Throughout the unit we will work on a large comparison matrix to compare all energy sources, including the pros and the cons of each. We will also discuss what countries or areas are doing a better job at using clean energy. This should get the students thinking about our role as a nation and what we could or should do to help.

Still more fetid blossoms from the inglorious Arab Spring. Uh, I told you so -- from the very first "Allahu akbar" I warned that Islamic supremacists would seize power and destroy any possibility of actual pro-Western or democratic reforms. See my article in the American Thinker in May: "Mainstream Media's Mea Culpa: Arab Spring or Nuclear Winter?"
JORDAN: REFORM PROTESTERS BURN AMERICAN FLAG ANSAmed, July 22 (hat tip Religion of Peace)
(ANSAmed) - AMMAN, 22 JULY - Hundreds of protesters demonstrated in Amman on Friday in demand for political reform, before they burnt the American flag in protest against perceived interference by Washington in the kingdom's affairs.
Protesters were protected by a large contingency of police men following a recent attack by security forces on demonstrators last week.
"It is it, America is head of the snake," shouted protesters.
Jordan is considered a key ally to Washington in the Middle East. The poor kingdom receives nearly half a billion of financial assistance from Washington to modernize its army and security forces and carry out trip the budget deficit.
Protesters believe the American administration provides political cover for authorities in Jordan to suppress reform protests in order to protect its interests in the kingdom, which shares the longest borders with Israel....

A spokesperson at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in Hanceville said any birthday observance will be kept private.
That doesn't mean people can't see a lot of the classic Mother Angelica TV programming this week.
Mother Angelica, who founded EWTN in the garage of the Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in Irondale in 1981, has been a mainstay on the network throughout its history. But the "Mother Angelica Live!" programs now airing were taped years ago.
EWTN is honoring her birthday this week with 90 hours of programming and 90-minute specials. Her classic episodes will be airing frequently this week.
"I know viewers will love hearing behind-the-scenes stories of the founding of EWTN from those who accompanied Mother over an often challenging journey," said EWTN Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Doug Keck. "Viewers also tell us that Mother Angelica's programs are as inspirational today as they were when she made them. Seeing and hearing those programs again gives all of us fresh determination to carry on her legacy."
The taped shows, several hundred of them, still air regularly on the network as ''Mother Angelica Classics.''
She hasn't hosted any live TV shows since a stroke rendered her mostly incapable of speech.
She suffered her second major stroke on Christmas Eve 2001. That left her with partial paralysis and impaired speech.
Tonight at 7 p.m. Central time, there will be a "World Over Special," with Mother Angelica's official biographer, EWTN Lead Anchor Raymond Arroyo, offering his perspective on her life and interviewing several of the nuns at the monastery she founded.
EWTN has set up a web page to honor her birthday.
EWTN President Michael Warsaw said recently that Mother Angelica continues to be bedridden, and she was unable to attend the recent funeral of her longtime chairman of the board at EWTN, Deacon Bill Steltemeier, who died Feb. 15.
Mother Angelica has a nun assigned to her personal care at the Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, now on a farm near Hanceville in Cullman County. More than 40 nuns live with her and are available to help care for her.
EWTN is still headquartered in Irondale.
Though she's not as talkative as she once was, her taped Bible teaching and folksy witticisms make her a continuing vibrant presence on the network she founded.
Mother Angelica's wry observations about life and Scripture still resonate. She has been translated into many other languages, including German, French, Spanish and Lithuanian.
EWTN Global Catholic Network, in its 32th year, is available in over 225 million television households in more than 140 countries and territories.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Hiram College's football team got off to a good start last year, then its season fell apart. Oberlin College is looking to make a fresh start with a new coach and a new stadium. Here's a quick preview of both schools in the North Coast Athletic Conference.
North Coast Athletic Conference
Division: NCAA Division III
Conference outlook: Wabash edged defending champion Wittenberg for the top spot in a preseason coaches poll. Denison and Wooster tied for third, followed by DePauw, Ohio Wesleyan, Kenyon, Oberlin, and Allegheny and Hiram tied for ninth. Wabash returns nine starters on a defense that was among the best in the country. Wittenberg's powerful offense was hit hard by graduation, and six starters return on defense. The D3football.com preseason poll ranks Wittenberg 13th and Wabash 16th.
Hiram Terriers
2013 record: 2-8, 1-8
Coach: Randy Moore, fifth season, 4-36
Season opener: Saturday at Westminster, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Last season started great for the Terriers, who won two of their first three, including a shutout. But promising QB Rob Partridge broke his foot Week 2 and was lost for the year. He returns along with All-NCAC offensive lineman Kyle Bates (Harvey), but most of the skill players lack experience. Junior WR Nate Eaton had 23 catches and scored two TDs for an offense that averaged 14.3 points per game. A defense that featured just three seniors yielded 33 points per game. Junior defensive back Tevin Weaver (Garfield Heights) received All-NCAC recognition while DL Zyad Mabin had 41 tackles and eight tackles for loss and CB Andrew Torres had three interceptions.
Oberlin Yeomen
2013 record: 3-7, 2-7
Coach: Jay Anderson, first year
Season opener: Saturday at Brockport, 1 p.m.
Outlook: With a new coach and a new stadium, Oberlin will build its offense around returning QB Lucas Poggiali, who passed for 1,509 yards and had 12 TDs rushing and passing as a sophomore. RB Blake Buckhanon had 765 yards rushing and receiving. The offensive line features Rory Kaip, who has started 30 games, and promising junior Nick Blaszak. The defense returns seven starters, led by junior lineman C.J. Ihle, who was All-NCAC with 7.5 sacks and 14 tackles-for-loss. Anderson was the defensive coordinator, and will continue to lead a unit that was fourth in the NCAC in total defense and third in red-zone defense. Oberlin also had two shutouts, which had no happened since 1946.
Notable: Oberlin debuts its Austin E. Knowlton Athletics Complex at its home opener, and homecoming, on Sept. 20. The stadium with artificial turf and lights and its surrounding facilities were the result of an $8 million gift from the Austin E. Knowlton Foundation.

UPDATE: The Tie Pattern has been revamped! I've fixed some issues with the pattern itself. I think you'll find it goes together much more smoothly now. Enjoy!
I wanted to do something Father's Day-ey for all my lovely readers this week and decided that we all needed a really fab men's sewing pattern. Of course, there's always the Car Visor CD Holder Tutorial, but I wanted something new. Something really fresh.
So I worked my fingers to the bone and ignored my family to bring you our first FREE PDF pattern download: The Best Men's Tie Pattern! Ever wondered what our PDF patterns are like? This is your chance to have your very own free of charge!
Click on the image below to view the PDF. Go to —>File —>Save As to save it to your computer.
This is my favorite shot:
I had planned on doing a photo shoot with Mr. Puking Pastilles this morning with him wearing my favorite dress shirt of his. Here, let's imagine it together: it is black with very dark gray stripes (small stripes, very subtle). This tie is going to ROCK with that shirt. Our morning did not cooperate with us.
I think you're going to LOVE this pattern! It makes a rather thick tie with a nice fat knot. However, because it is made from cotton and not silk, it is more bulky and doesn't do well with double windsor knots. But it is guaranteed to please.
Try it and put your photos in our Puking Pastilles Flickr Pool! We draw winners on the last day of every month to receive fun prizes.
NOTE: In order to get this pattern out to you in time for Father's Day, I haven't sent this out to my pattern testers yet. There are a couple of tiny things that need tweaking, but I think you'll find it still totally rocks.

"It was wonderful to see so many adults taking steps toward a healthy lifestyle, while supporting our Strong Kids Campaign," said Joseph Verhey, executive director, Staten Island Broadway YMCA. "The Fun Run definitely builds upon the YMCA's mission of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility."

We have reopened! Three weeks later the dining room is remodeled and open for lunch and dinner! There are still myriad details to wrap up but stop in and check out the warmth and beauty of all that wood! Thanks for hanging in there with us. We appreciate it.
See you soon!
Located on the edge of the urban growth boundary, farmers within a few short miles of the restaurant deliver freshly harvested produce at least weekly. Beef raised sustainably (Oregon Natural Meats), happy chickens – well, happy up until that last moment – raised by Mary's in Northern California and other sustainably raised and harvested products are thoughtfully prepared and artfully presented. Visit us for lunch Monday through Friday or dinner every night of the week.
What is a Freestyle Bistro?
It is not a formula. Janet is a Chicago-Irish-Democrat-Alpha Female-Chef… she makes whatever she wants. It just so happens that she wants to make really great meals using fresh local ingredients. That being said, the cuisine has strong European influences, and when she visits restaurants in Northern Italy she finds food that makes sense. While the fare is fine, the ambiance is casual. Order a little or a lot. Come early for wine and a small plate, or come late just for dessert.
It often riles some of the local loyalist when we refer to ourselves as "A culinary oasis in a desert named Washington County". We mean no disrespect. But it still surprises us, given the warm appreciation we receive from so many wonderful customers, that the amazing Pacific Northwest food scene has been so slow to take root west of 23rd and Burnside. If you haven't been to Bethany's Table you owe it to yourself to pay us a visit. We promise that you will enjoy your experience of great food and warm hospitality.

Moonshine Still
Originally formed in 1996, by founding members Scott Baston (guitar/lead vocal), Will Robinson (drums/vocals), and Ray Petren (bass/vocals), Moonshine Still (MsS) began turning heads in the Southeast from their home base of Macon, GA. Playing around the local bars and hangouts they quickly made a name amongst the youth of the area. However it wasn't until some personnel changes in early 2000 that Moonshine Still began to blossom. These changes welcomed the addition of Bill Jarrett (percussion), Trippe Wright (keyboards), and David Shore (guitar) to the lineup and the rest, as they say, is history.

Old house - trying to fix up dirty moldy medicine cabinet
Just moved into a rental house. House built circa 1920. Medicine cabinet interior was completely lined with nasty old contact paper. I pulled off most of the paper.

The museum, located at 1301 Hudson St., will host trombonist Robert Edwards and vocalist Vanessa Perea tomorrow at 7 p.m. for the first of three performances this spring.
Edwards and Perea will perform mostly standards from the Great American Songbook, including songs favored by Frank Sinatra, infused with Brazilian and funk influences.

A treasure found
Since I didn't have my usual coupons to cut out tonight, I decided to clean out my wallet. Aside from old receipts, I found a handful of gift cards. Curiosity got the better of me(or just plain boredom) so I went online to check the balances. I have a total of $27.82 for Walmart(plus a $15 Walmart card that is my son's), a $25 card to Bed Bath and Beyond plus 2 cards to Target, 2 to Build a Bear, and 1 to Toys R Us I need to call and check on tomorrow! I like it when I discover money! And then in the very back in a bank envelope, was $11. I know it's been in there since at least November because it's from the bank my former employer used(must have been my lunch money). I'm going to keep it in there for an emergency.

A $467,000 marquee sign that promoted events at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex was blown down by this morning's storms, executive director Tad Snider said today.
The sign that towered above Interstate 20-59 outside the BJCC Arena was erected in March 2010, replacing an outdated marquee that had stopped working.
Snider said the BJCC was in talks with the sign's insurer and he had no idea how long it would be to get it replaced. "The good news is that nobody was hurt and there was no property damage other than the sign," he said.
Birmingham's Coca-Cola Bottling United recently signed a new 10-year deal as the exclusive advertiser on the marquee. BJCC officials have said an estimated 170,000 vehicles pass by the sign daily, giving high-profile exposure for activities taking place on the complex.

USDA subverts Animal Welfare Act in whistleblower protection case
ACTION is part of Agency's long-standing pattern of failure to uphold the law.
|Ron Wood's crack-smoking experiments:
A case study of waste, fraud and animal abuse
A Report By In Defense of Animals
September 1996
Dr. Wood's crack-smoking experiments on monkeys were halted last year amidsta national scandal and federal charges for animal welfare violations. Theexperiments had previously been suspended pending the results of two federalinvestigations. After his grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse(NIDA) expired in August 1995, Dr. Wood, according to an NYU spokesperson,took an "indefinite" leave of absence from NYU. Dr. Wood recentlyre-surfaced at the University of Rochester. Following a one-year hiatus,NIDA re-funded Dr. Wood's experiments to the tune of $420,000 per year,despite overwhelming evidence that Dr. Wood had committed scientific fraudas well as animal abuse.
In October 1993, based on internal documentation obtained from whistleblowers,In Defense of Animals (IDA) filed formal complaints with the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture (USDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s Officefor Protection from Research Risk (OPRR) alleging inadequate veterinarycare and program-wide abuses at NYU during the conduct of Dr. Wood's experiments.Both agencies upheld IDA's allegations. In fact, the USDA filed formal chargesagainst NYU in April 1995 specifically regarding Dr. Wood's multiple violationsof federal law governing animal research. The USDA formally cited Dr. Wood'sfailure to provide adequate veterinary care to three monkeys who needlesslydied directly because of his veterinary and scientific negligence, and hisfailure to inform the NYUMC IACUC for over one year of his severe but unnecessary21 hours per day water deprivation. This past summer, NYU settled theseand other charges by agreeing to pay $450,000 -- by far the largest fineever assessed against a research institution for violations of
the Animal Welfare Act. In addition, NIH OPRR found a veritable laundrylist of Public Health Service (PHS) Policy violations committed by NYUMCand Dr. Wood, including the violations that formed the basis of the formalUSDA charges.
Scientific fraud and violations of federal law by Dr. Wood
A. Use of Compromised "Animal Models"
The record of the OPRR investigation of NYU Medical Center, as well as internalNYU documents obtained by IDA, clearly demonstrate that Dr. Wood re-usedin his crack experiments monkeys who had been previously used in his tolueneinhalation experiments. These monkeys suffered from liver and other seriousorgan damage sustained in the toluene experiments. No valid scientific datacould be collected from these animals. Furthermore, despite the fact thattoluene is well-known and documented to cause damage to the liver, centralnervous system, kidneys and heart, Dr. Wood failed to conduct even basichealth screening on these monkeys before using them in his crack experiments.
In attempting to explain this serious negligence, Dr. Wood cited the separationof veterinary responsibility from his own scientific activities. However,proper veterinary care is an integral part of any animal experiment. Thus,it is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure that adequate veterinarycare is provided to the animal subjects. This fact is even more importantin Dr. Wood's case, since he had personal knowledge of the animals' previousexposure to toluene and other drugs of abuse, having conducted the experimentshimself. Had Dr. Wood conducted even a cursory literature search, or readthe material safety data sheet on toluene, he would have seen that toluenecauses liver and brain damage. Such searches are standard procedure foranyone conducting research on animals. Indeed, how can any researcher conductexperiments on living animals without first investigating the physiologicaleffects of the drugs under study? The consequences of such dereliction toboth the integrity of the data as well as the welfare of the animals areclear.
To make matters worse, Dr. Wood appears to have engaged in deception tocover himself after three monkeys needlessly died under his care in January-February1993. When the NYUMC IACUC confronted Dr. Wood with the documented damageto the liver and brain caused by toluene, thus calling into question hisresearch design, animal care and overall protocol, Dr. Wood used a 1981citation to claim that toluene was not hepatotoxic. In doing so, Dr. Woodignored the overwhelming scientific evidence documenting the toxic effectsof toluene on the liver and other organs -- evidence available to any layperson who searches the literature. Even if Dr. Wood unknowingly overlookedthe wealth of scientific data about toluene toxicity (including the materialdata sheet), this does not bode well for his scientific integrity becauseit means that Dr. Wood was conducting toluene research on animals withoutadequately researching the biologic effect of the drug on the animals. TheNYUMC IACUC informed Dr. Wood that toluene was, in fact, hepatotoxic andinstructed him to correct his statement to the contrary.
In addition, because of his inability and/or unwillingness to conduct hisresearch according to accepted scientific standards, Dr. Wood never performedroutine blood chemistries on the monkeys, which should be a prerequisitefor any research into animals' responses to drugs, let alone drugs knownto cause serious organ damage. Such tests on the monkeys in Dr. Wood's labwould have revealed the animals' abnormal liver function results. Indeed,necropsies on these monkeys revealed liver damage consistent with toluenetoxicity that is cited in the medical literature in two of the three animals;the third animal's liver was inexplicably not examined at necropsy.
As a result of the three monkey deaths, the NYUMC IACUC forced Dr. Woodto perform routine blood chemistries on the surviving monkeys in his colony.Dr. Wood should have been conducting these tests from the beginning of hisexperiments. Preliminary results revealed that four of the seven animalsin his colony showed abnormal liver results; the IACUC mandated furthertests to see if the three others had sub-clinical damage. The IACUC alsopointed that not only anesthesia, but also the very drugs Dr. Wood was testing,are cleared by the liver, further calling into question the scientific validityof Dr. Wood's program. Yet even after the three monkeys' deaths, Dr. Woodproposed to perform blood chemistries on the surviving monkeys in his labonly twice a year, indicating that he chose to remain either ignorant orapathetic regarding the monkeys' liver function despite the needless deathsof three monkeys, and demonstrating once again why he should not be allowedto conduct any research on animals.
Moreover, toluene also causes brain damage, which Dr. Wood would have knownif he had consulted the literature or the material data sheet. At necropsy,Dr. Wood failed to ensure that the brains of the three monkeys were examined.This is a very serious oversight, given toluene's effect on the centralnervous system. However, since two of the three monkeys' livers showed damageat necropsy (as previously mentioned, the liver of the third was inexplicablynot examined), it is likely that the other major target organ of toluene-- the brain -- was also affected in these monkeys. As a psychologist, Dr.Wood should have been keenly interested in brain damage, particularly sincehe was supposed to be studying the behavioral effects of toluene and crackcocaine.
It is clear that Dr. Wood's failure to investigate or understand the damageto vital organs caused by exposure to toluene calls into serious questionany results from his experiments. Dr. Wood was studying crack inhalationon sick animals and, accordingly, his "results" were, at best,suspect, and could provide false and misleading information if applied tothe development of therapies for human drug addicts.
B. Severe Water Deprivation of Monkeys Also Compromises Wood's "Animal Model"
Dr. Wood acknowledged that his water deprivation of monkeys -- for as longas 21 hours per day -- was serious enough to cause serum osmolarity changesin the animals. Incredibly, Dr. Wood stated that he was not concerned aboutthese changes, since serum osmolarity was not the focus of his research.Behavioral changes associated with crack inhalation were, however, a focusof his research. Since changes in serum osmolarity affect not only the healthand well-being of animals, but also their cognitive abilities, Dr. Woodshould have been very concerned about this variable. His failure to considerthe impact on his research results of water deprivation severe enough tocause serum osmolarity changes is a gross oversight and consistent withDr. Wood's slipshod approach to the conduct of research.
Dr. Wood also failed to inform the NYUMC IACUC for over one year of his21 hours per day water deprivation of the monkeys. When asked by the IACUCto provide literature citations for the 21 hours per day, he instead providedreferences for 18 hours per day deprivation, once again demonstrating hisinability and/or unwillingness to adhere to accepted scientific standardsand search the literature to justify his experimental protocol. Dr. Wood'ssevere water deprivation regimen came to the attention of the IACUC onlyafter a technician in Dr. Wood's lab wrote of her concern about the signsof extreme thirst in the animals. Moreover, Dr. Wood informed the IACUCthat he checked the patency of the animals' automatic water supply onlyif the animals stopped eating solid food (presumably because of excessivethirst). He was thus using the animals' solid food intake as the indicatorfor the functioning of the water supply! Only after the IACUC pointed outthe inadequacy of this "method" did Dr. Wood change his procedure.
C. False Statements to Funding Agency
In his grant applications, Dr. Wood claimed to NIDA that he kept detaileddaily logs of the animals' behavior and health, and monitored them vigilantly.But a subcommittee appointed by NYU itself concluded that Dr. Wood's recordswere sparse, unclear and wholly inadequate, a finding supported by OPRR.Failure to keep adequate records is a transgression of accepted scientificstandards, and thus of good research.
Dr. Wood also failed to inform NIDA of changes in his research protocol,despite being repeatedly told to do so by the NYUMC IACUC. Moreover, Dr.Wood admitted that he had "deliberately" not given NIDA informationabout his experimental protocol, including his proposed use of other animalspecies, because to withhold such information was, in his opinion, "bettergrantsmanship."
A researcher who misrepresents the nature of his research to the fundingagency, and fails to adhere to the research protocol approved by the fundingagency should not in the future be entrusted with federal research grants.
D. Dr. Wood's Own Statements Belie Claims about the Value of his Research
Dr. Wood himself publicly acknowledged in 1991 in the Village Voice thatthe results of his research have never been used by clinicians, drug counselorsor federal agencies responsible for regulating workplace solvents. Woodjustified his work's lack of clinical worth by stating: "Value. Everyonealways asks about value, human applicability. Whatever happened to intellectualcuriosity, fascination, the excitement a scientist feels when he finds somethingnew?"
Furthermore, in a December 1993 letter to NYUMC IACUC chairman Dr. DanielRifkin requesting that the IACUC lift the suspension of his research, Dr.Wood revealed that personal financial gain and careerism overshadowed thepursuit of medical knowledge as motivations for his research activities."This project covers not just my salary, but also that of an associate....Thus,there are families at this table....Most importantly for us as professionalsis the reality that research careers are dependent on productivity. Thisis the period in which we must have peak productivity for us to have continuedacademic careers," he wrote. Despite Dr. Wood's reference to productivity,his research, in fact, has been singularly unproductive. As of September19, 1996 a search of Medline reveals no publications on his primate crack-smokingor toluene-inhalation experiments.
NIH decision to re-fund Dr. Wood's research
On June 26, 1996, Catherine Sasek, Ph.D. of NIDA wrote the following toIDA:
"At this time NIDA is not providing funding to Dr. Ron Wood. Any grantthat Dr. Wood might submit to NIDA would receive a thorough and carefulreview. This grant would have to receive approval from the InstitutionalAnimal Care and Use Committee at Dr. Woods (sic) institution prior to submission.It would be carefully reviewed for the appropriate use of animals and thescientific merit of the proposed experiments by recognized experts in thefield. It would also be reviewed by staff at NIDA to ensure appropriateuse of animals. Finally, it would be reviewed by NIDA's Advisory Council."On October 20, 1995, Dr. Louis Sibal of NIH's Office of Laboratory AnimalResearch had written to a concerned citizen:
"Dr. Wood's grant support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). . . ended in August [1995] . . . However, he has reapplied for funds tocontinue the project. Contrary to information that you may have receivedfrom other sources, two panels of scientists with expertise in related areasof research have judged Dr. Wood's project to be scientifically and technicallymeritorious . . . On the basis of these evaluations, it is highly likelythat NIDA will resume the funding of this project in the near future. .. " (Emphasis added)IDA has written repeatedly to Dr. Sibal and to NIDA to clarify these seeminglycontradictory statements. To date, no response has been received. We alsowe asked Dr. Sibal if the peer reviewers reviewed the documentation aboutWood's misconduct, but he never provided a response. We posed the same questionto NIDA, but have not, to date, received a response from that agency. Inaddition, since the processing of a grant application usually takes months,it is apparent that NIDA was being less than forthcoming in its June 26,1996 public statement about Dr. Wood's funding status.
The fact that NIDA peer reviewers apparently recommended re-funding of Dr.Wood's research meritorious indicates a very serious problem. If the reviewerssaw the documented evidence of Dr. Wood's scientific and veterinary misconduct,and recommended refunding his research anyway, then it appears that thesepeer reviewers are not sufficiently objective as to render honest recommendationsabout the merit of scientific research proposals. If, on the other hand,the peer review team did not review the evidence, the peer review systemis failing because reviewers are making decisions based on grievously incompleteinformation. Whatever the answers, this situation does not bode well forthe integrity of the National Institute on Drug Abuse or the integrity ofthe peer review process. If the peer review team was aware of the documentationcited above and still deemed Dr. Wood's research "meritorious"of funding, then the peer review process is demonstrated to be incapableof providing objective assessments of worthy research projects. If the peerreview team made determinations about Dr. Wood's research in the absenceof the results of federal investigations into his research, then the NIHhas failed utterly to provide oversight to federally-funded animal researchas required by law.

The Voice: Winter 2003
Annual gift support reaches record high
by Lyle Gritters, Vice President for College Advancement
We are grateful to report that God richly blessed the mission and work
of Dordt College again last year through the prayers, encouragement, and generous gift
support of alumni and friends of the college. A total of $4,835,000 was
received during the 2001-02 fiscal year, a twenty-four percent increase over the previous
year and an all-time record high. This gift support makes a significant difference
in our ability to maintain an educational program that is recognized for its
academic excellence and its reformational character.
Dordt College has been blessed with a loyal and generous group of supporters. We are thankful to God for each gift, whether large or small, that was given last year. In addition to the support of many churches, a remarkable total of 8063 alumni, friends, business firms, and foundations made gifts to the college during the 2001-02 fiscal year.
A total of 4625 alumni made contributions to Dordt College in 2001-02, close to half of our alumni. The US News and World Report ranked Dordt College number one last year among 110 regional comprehensive (bachelors) degree colleges for the percentage of alumni who contribute to their alma mater. The national average for alumni participation rates is about twenty percent. This ranking is a tribute to the loyalty and commitment of our alumni and a clear indication of their appreciation for the education they received at Dordt College.
Gift support for the Dordt College Fund also reached a record high of $753,000 last year, an eighteen percent increase over the previous year. The Dordt College Fund is probably the most important gift support program of the college, a crucial resource for keeping tuition affordable as we continually improve our academic programs. And it is an important source for grants and scholarships that are awarded to needy, deserving students. In summary, it serves as a living endowment for the financial stability of the institution.
The successful completion of fundraising efforts for the new Campus Center was the highlight of the year for the Capital Fund of the college. Gift support for the Capital Fund reached a total of $2,274,000, another record high.
On behalf of the entire college community, especially the students, I want to thank each of the supporting churches and 8063 alumni, friends, business firms, and foundations for their support of Dordt College during the 2001-02 year. Your partnership and prayers are vital to the strength and future of the college. Please join us in giving thanks to God for his providential care.

NEW BRUNSWICK -- A man who attempted to break into a Throop Avenue grocery store was arrested after brief foot chase, but officers had to track him a second time after he crawled out of the window of a police cruiser, authorities said.
City resident Robert Colon-Cruz, 28, was arrested about 5:13 a.m. today and charged with burglary, hindering apprehension and possession of weapon because he was carrying a knife, police Lt. J.T. Miller said.
Officers responding to a call of a burglary found Colon-Cruz in front of Union Grocery, with a cement block at his feet that he had used to break a store window, Miller said.
Colon-Cruz fled, but was apprehended a short distance away, hiding under a truck, the lieutenant said. He said officers put the suspect in the cruiser, but as officers were trying to secure the store, Colon-Cruz managed to roll down a window, crawl out and run again, only to be apprehended a second time.
The suspect is being held in the Middlesex County jail on $100,000 bail.

An 18-year-old Westborough man was texting and driving when he was killed in a Jan. 5 crash, police said Thursday.
Pablo C. Salcedo, a senior at Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, on Route 9 in front of the Speedway Plaza.
"The investigation by Officer Clifford Luce determined that this was a preventable accident," police said in a news release. "Through evidence found in the Salcedo vehicle, it was determined that Mr. Salcedo was distracted through the use of his cell phone to read and text messages."
Salcedo was driving a 2001 Dodge Caravan that plowed into sand-billed barrels on Route 9, police said at the time. The van hit a concrete barrier and rolled over, crashing into a car in the opposite lane.
The other driver was uninjured, police said.
Police said there was no indication Salcedo tried to brake before crashing.
Salcedo, who was born in Mexico, planned to join the Army and attend college after graduating, according to his obituary. He was majoring in Health Technologies at Assabet and was captain of the school's soccer team.

Johnson has been on the Zephyrs disabled list all season and has not appeared in a game for New Orleans in 2008.
He was recovering from a severe ankle injury suffered in August of 2007 while played for the Zephyrs against the Sacramento RiverCats.
Johnson came to New Orleans in 2007 as a promising outfield prospect, but was unable to stay healthy consistently, culminating in the season-ending ankle injury.
Johnson played in 53 games last season, hitting .271 with two homers and 12 RBI. Despite the severity of the injury, he was expected to rejoin the Zephyrs at full strength this year, but has suffered some setbacks in his rehabilitation.
He had been on crutches for four months after the injury, but had been recovering well going into Spring Training. However, with the oufielder unable to make it back on the field once the season began, he was granted his release on Monday.

Dr. Rekow of the Cosmetic Surgery Associates in Seattle offers
facelift surgery to patients who would like to enhance their natural
beauty. Read on to see if you are a candidate, the planning stages,
the procedure and after facelift surgery care. Dr. Rekow also offers
other facial plastic surgery procedures such as a
in Seattle, Washington.
The best candidate for a facelift , or rhytidectomy, is a man
or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin
still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong
and well-defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties,
but we perform facelifts on younger and older patients as well.
A facelift can make you look younger and fresher, and it may
enhance your self-confidence in the process. Dr. Rekow's objective
is to improve your appearance by enhancing your natural beauty
and not by producing an artificial "wind swept" look.
If you are in the Seattle area and want a rhinoplasty surgery
procedure such as a facelift Seattle, contact Dr. Rekow of the Cosmetic
Surgery Associates of Seattle to schedule a consultation to
see if you are a candidate.
Facelifts are very individualized procedures. In your initial
consultation Dr. Rekow will evaluate your face, including
the skin, muscle, and bony structure and discuss goals for
the surgery. It is common for a new patient to come in with
preconceived notions about what procedure she/he wants done.
Dr. Rekow may point out that to obtain the desired result
a different procedure(s), in place of, or in addition to the
procedure the patient had in mind would be advisable. A facelift
only affects the face from about the level of the eyes to
down around the neck and does not treat fine lines in the
skin, the eyelids, or the brow.
Dr. Rekow performs facelift surgery in the Seattle, Washington
office facility, usually under general anesthesia, but local
anesthesia with sedation can also be used. Incisions begin above
the hairline at the temples, extend in a natural line in front
of the ear (or just inside the cartilage at the front of your
ear), and continue behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. If
the neck needs work, a small incision may also be made under
the chin. Patients frequently worry that there will be a lot
of shaving of the head creating bald spots but actually no hair
is shaved and the hair will nicely hide the sutures and staples.
In general, Dr. Rekow separates the skin from the fat and muscle
below. Fat may be trimmed or suctioned from around the neck
and chin to improve the contour. Dr. Rekow then tightens the
underlying muscles when appropriate, then pulls the skin upwards
and back, and removes the excess. Stitches secure the layers
of tissue and close the incisions.
There isn't usually a great deal of discomfort after a facelift
and what pain there is can be managed by the medication prescribed
by Dr. Rekow. A dressing covering the scalp and neck is removed
the following day at which time any drains are usually removed.
The patient is then allowed to shampoo the hair and usually
no additional dressings are applied. Some numbness of the skin
of the cheeks and neck which may last a few weeks to a few months
is expected. The stitches in front of the ears will be removed
after about five days. The stitches or staples hidden in your
hairline are removed after 10 to 14 days.
If you are seeking a cosmetic surgeon in the Seattle area for tummy tuck Seattle (abdominoplasty Seattle)
or other cosmetic procedure such as breast augmentation Seattle, breast lift Seattle, breast reduction Seattle, facelift Seattle, browlift Seattle, eyelid surgery Seattle, labiaplasty Seattle or liposuction Seattle we would be delighted to see you in consultation.
