2015: College basketball coaching legend Dean Smith dies at the age of 83 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Smith, who won two NCAA Championships and made 11 Final Fours during his 36-year tenure at the University of North Carolina, had suffered from advanced dementia in his latter years. A member of both the Basketball Hall of Fame and the College Basketball Hall of Fame, he also coached Team USA to a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics. In 1997, he retired as the winningest coach in NCAA Division I men's basketball. His record of 879 wins would eventually be eclipsed by Bob Knight in 2007, Mike Krzyzewski in 2011 and Jim Boeheim in 2012.
2012: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirms a U.S. District Court judge's 2010 ruling that California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. The panel also continued a stay on the earlier ruling, barring any marriages from taking place pending further appeals. On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Proposition 8 supporters did not have legal standing to defend the law in federal court, either to the Supreme Court or, previously, to the Ninth Circuit. Therefore the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and directed the Ninth Circuit to vacate its decision, leaving the district court's 2010 ruling intact. Two days later, the Ninth Circuit lifted its stay of the district court ruling, clearing the way for same-sex marriages to resume in the state.
2001: Actress and singer Dale Evans, the third wife of singing cowboy Roy Rogers, dies of congestive heart failure at the age of 88 in Apple Valley, California.

The three-month series started on Dec. 16, 1811, in the central Mississippi River valley and the quakes were felt hundreds of miles away. All were powerful, about magnitude 7 to 7.5, with many aftershocks. The last quake destroyed the town of New Madrid and severely damaged homes in St. Louis, toppling chimneys. Contemporary reports state that the ground rose along the fault, causing temporary waterfalls on the Mississippi River, creating waves that rolled upstream, and forming Reelfoot Lake by obstructing streams in what is now Lake County, Tennessee. The earthquakes that struck the region remain among the most powerful earthquakes in the United States and the New Madrid fault remains a concern today.

7-20-09 PNC Park
There was some rain forecast for today, but when I arrived at the ballpark at 3:55, the sun was shining, and there were only a few measly clouds in the sky.
While standing in line, I noticed a Brewers fan who randomly had a MLB baseball. He didn't have a glove or a bag or anything. He had just walked up from the Riverwalk area. Had he just gotten a ball out by the river? Possibly.
Rather than standing there, I decided to head down to the Allegheny River and see if I could get on the board before the gates even opened. There is some tall grass landscaping on a slope that leads down to a 20 foot wide walkway which borders the river. Occasionally balls will get stuck in there that get hit out of the stadium or bounce on the stadium. I looked, but found nothing.
I stood outside the stadium until 4:50, when I returned to line. There was only one ball that I saw that had a realistic chance. I caught it out of the corner of my eye and watched it hit the top of the Clemente wall and stay in the ballpark. Like clockwork, within a minute, an usher appeared and picked up the ball.
When I returned to the line at 4:50, it began to drizzle. Great. Just great.
The drizzle was persistant, and was rather annoying. I was worried that the groundscrew would put the tarp on the field and batting practice would be canceled. Luckily, this wasn't the case. The rain was light enough that it allowed BP to continue.
I got ball #1 of the day from Joel Hanrahan. He fielded a ball, and didn't throw it back towards the infield, so I stood in the front row with my glove up for about a minute. He finally decided he didn't want the ball anymore, and fired it at me. It was a little high and away, but I was on the board.
I got ball #2 from Mike Defelice. I remembered Shawn from Milwaukee giving me the tip of calling him Deefer. It worked.
There wasn't a ton of home runs hit. And its a shame too, because there weren't many people there during the first 30 minutes of season ticket holder time only.
Game: 3 balls (1 hit, 2 thrown)
Season: 238 balls (125 hit, 78 thrown, 38 device)
Games: 49 games (5 of which didn't have BP)
Average: 4.86 balls per game
Career: 404 balls
Attendance: 11,471 (very April/May'ish attendance figure)

Remember a couple days ago, I said I was gonna be at 7/21 vs. Brewers, well I didnt go cause of weather.com said rain and thunderstorms at 7, I was just gonna go for BP, and then leave, but I didnt trust the weather.
Hey Erik,check out my blog that I just made a few days ago. ballhawking.mlblogs.com
I didn't go either on Tuesday. I was reading an article in the Post gazette today about Mike Cameron going looking for Delwyn Young on Tueday, but there wasn't batting practice for them to have a chance to cross paths. Sounds like we both made a good decision from a ballhawking perspective.
Cool blog. You'll have to get a camera to add some pictures. Maybe a cell phone that takes pictures? I'd be interested in seeing some pictures of the minor league field you visited. I'm coming back to the Cleveland Area twice within the next week.

Financial Assistance
/ NRCS Works to Improve Impaired Watersheds in Florida
Loading Tree...
Jeffrey Woods
Release No. 102013
Gainesville, FL., May 2, 2013 — Acting Natural Resources Conservation Service State Conservationist Roney Gutierrez today announced additional funding for an initiative to improve water quality in selected watersheds in Florida. Cost share assistance through the agency's National Water Quality Initiative (NWQI) will be available this year to help farmers, ranchers and forestland owners install conservation practices that manage nutrients, pathogens and sediments.
"The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) worked closely with our conservation partners to select these 3 priority watersheds," said Gutierrez. "The National Water Quality Initiative in Florida is a focused approach to improve water quality in the Lower St. Johns River and Choctawhatchee River."
Eligible producers will receive assistance through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program for installing conservation systems that may include practices such as nutrient management, cover crops, conservation cropping systems, filter strips, and in some cases, edge-of-field water quality monitoring.
NRCS accepts applications for financial assistance on a continuous basis throughout the year. However, all applications for NWQI funding in Florida must be received by June 21, 2013 to be eligible for funding for this fiscal year.
Eligible producers in the watersheds listed below will invest in voluntary conservation actions to help provide cleaner water for their neighbors and communities:
See the NWQI Florida website for more details.
Through this water quality initiative, NRCS is also piloting its new Water Quality Index for Agricultural Runoff. The tool will help landowners determine how alternative conservation systems they are considering will impact water quality improvement. Additionally, state water quality agencies and other partners will do in-stream and watershed-level monitoring to track water quality improvements in many of the project watersheds.
USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service helps America's farmers and ranchers conserve the Nation's soil, water, air and other natural resources. All programs are voluntary and offer science-based solutions that benefit both the landowner and the environment.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

That's a guy.
Shit ton of text incoming:
I honestly wish for this theory to not be true. However from what i can perceive it is in the realm of possibility.
Obito Theory:
Tobi has a possible chance of being obito, though i find that chance very low i believe i have came up with a theory that is possible(even though i don't choose to believe it) All i am saying is that it's possible for this theory(as many theories are to be true)
Obito clearly gets his body crushed by a rock, impossible to survive from. IMPOSSIBLE TO SURVIVE FROM.
Now on to Madara, we know that Madara survived his fight with Hashirama. He lived for an unknown amount of time and then was able to obtain the rinnegan. One of the rinnegans abilities is to bring people back from the dead. As displayed by Nagato reviving paths of pain to perfectly regenerated bodies and reviving the recently deceased people of konoha.
I believe that it is possible for Madara to have lived until(or awhile after) obitos death. After Obito's death it is possible for Madara to have revived obito noticing the potential he has(reviving him this way he was able to revive his body in perfect condition including his sharingan).
After Madara revives obito he uses his sharingan in order to manipulate his mind turning him against konoha and turns him into his pawn. Obito grows and gains the ability to use his sharing.
He trains with Madara for awhile until Madara dies, and madara tells him everything he needs to know about his plan.As an Uchiha Obito is able to use the sharingan much more efficiently than Kakashi and is able to use space time techniques with his eye on a whole other level and is actual able to teleport large objects multiple times to different dimensions, and can phase through objects. During training he wasn't able to phase his entire being on the first try and lost parts of his body to the technique. the parts lost were replaced by the stuff zetzus are made out of.
Anything previously done before obito became tobi would have been done by madara, explaining longer hair in some circumstances.
After training with madara, it explains how he was able to gain the ability to control the ninetails and how he was able to become strong enough to fight near the fourth hokages level.
This theory would also assume that tobi did not give Nagato the rinnegan since madara would have had them in order to revive obito. in this situation i would assume that Madara gave Nagato the tools to obtain the rinnegan without negate knowing and tobi takes credit as he does for many other things madara did.(if you want a theory where nagato clearly gets the rinnegan from madara/tobi then madara could have just used zetsu glue to repair obito(though i find that very unlikely because that would be unable to reform his eye))
Tobi has marks underneath his marks looks like signs of old age perhaps, however for this theory i would say its from years of battle and overuse of his sharingan.
However i think this theory is complete bullshit(not in theory, just i would hate for Madara to have lived for so long and obito to have such a large change in personality.)
Alternate theories just said really fast not involving Obito:
I prefer a theory that would say Tobi is an advanced zestu clone(Black white mix) with Madaras chakra in him, which in naruto apparently represents part of the soul as shown by narutos parents and orochimaru. So part of madders soul would be in tobi. i would think something like that would be much more possible. I would even think izuna being him would be much more possible(though his age he would have to be makes me think not.)
Also yes i know there is an "official tobi id thread" however that thread is 400 pages long and hardly anyone wants to read through 400 pages.
One more thing, text edit was doing dumb things such as turning words to tobi into obi and obito into obit and sharingan into sharing and other stupid things so please excuse some typos.
looked at the title of thread.......lol didnt read
I see your new so....this is where all tobi identity theory's and related discussions go
Welcome to NB
No need to worry tobi is most likely not obito

How many decent amateur teams in Bradford, not many or around Headingley, none.
3,600 as has already been pointed out was in an era when most SL crowds were very low so the 3,600 today would probably be double that.
There's not enough amateur clubs supplying Bradford so that doesn't make Oldham's even smaller junior base good enough for Superleague either so that's a twisted and contrived argument.
This silly "well our club can struggle and fail the same as other SL clubs" is more contrived nonsense.
This must be the sixth time you have said Leeds has a poor junior base. by claiming there's no clubs around Headingley when I can walk to Milford and Queens in less than 10 minutes from Headingley. The city contains Wortley, Rodley, Easts, Wests, Stanningley, Harehills, Wetherby, Warriors, Parkside, Middleton, etc all running junior clubs but if you are going to contrive the idea Leeds have no junior base when they could put a powerful SL side out with Leeds born players alone then what's the point in debating with you?
The third issue you should deal with before moving on to contrive more nonsense is the idea crowds in SL would be double today than they were in 1996.
Bradford started SL in 1996 on 10,000 crowds.
The only clubs to have made large increases in their attendances have been the ones who have put in superb new facilities, and have gone on to compete in SL and actually won things.
Now start again.
Oldham, low fanbase, no ground, no money, small junior base.
How on this planet can they make a Superleague club?

Stop making stuff up to suit your argument. McCurrie was signed from Wakefield
You mean like the great Oldham teams of the eighties with;
Bruce Clarke (Western Suburbs)
Stuart Raper (Cronulla}
Gary Bridge (Balmain)
Steve Wright (Feltham Rugby Union)
Mark Fairbank (Elland BARLA club)
Gary Warnecke (Wests)
Mal Graham (Wests)
Peter Walsh (Newcastle Knights)
Brian McCarthy (Cantebury Bankstown)
Tom Nadiole (Salford On Loan)
Paul Lowdnes (Warrington On Loan)
Alan McCurrie (Halifax On Loan)
Ian Birkby (York On Loan)
Steve Garner (Fulham On Loan)
Michael Parish (Wakefield On Loan)
John Ogburn (Mansfield Marksmen On Loan)
Need I go on!
Nadiole was of Fijian parentage and spent many seasons at the club
Parrish was signed from Hunslet
of the other English based players you listed I cannot recall them, but if by Garner you are reffering to Gartland, he is an Oldham lad.
In your other argument about Fev not being able to afford SL. You forgot to mention that if they do get in they get around 1 million pounds hand out. Now maybe that is why the Championship clubs look skint to the gravy train boys in SL.

Insurance fraud includes Lowell victim
A Parkersburg insurance agent who is being tried for insurance fraud in West Virginia also preyed on at least one Ohio victim, according to authorities.
Lloyd B. Carr, 53, had his Ohio nonresident insurance licensure revoked in December by the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI), according to Robert Denhard, spokesman for ODI.
The revocation was the result of an investigation that found Carr had taken $30,000 from a Lowell resident and provided her with three fake annuity contracts, said Denhard.
"His business address is West Virginia, but he was licensed to do business in Ohio as well. One person in Ohio came forward (with accusations)," he said.
According to the revocation order issued by ODI, that victim was a Lowell woman who had written a check to Aviva in March 2009 for the purpose of securing coverage for an annuity.
Carr had opened a business account with United Bank under the name of Aviva Advisory Group so he could deposit checks payable to the insurance company into his personal account, according to the revocation order.
The Ohio victim's case has been made whole, said Denhard, but he would not comment on whether she had received her money back or if she had received the annuity policies for which she paid.
A call to the victim was not returned Tuesday.
A number for Carr couldn't be located.
Carr was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of West Virginia in October on 35 counts, including charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and insurance fraud, said Booth Goodwin, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, in a press release.
According to the indictment, Carr collected money from individuals under the pretense that he was securing them insurance or annuity policies under the names "Allianz Insurance and Financial Group," "Aviva Insurance and Financial Group," and "American Life Insurance".
Instead of securing those policies by sending the money to legitimate insurance agencies, Carr would deposit the money into the business banking account he created and use the funds to purchase expensive clothing and vehicles, it said.
That federal trial is set for May, said Melvin Smith, spokesman of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia.
However, Smith would not comment on how many victims are involved in the criminal case, or if any of them are Ohio residents.
The original indictment lists victims only by their initials.
If convicted, Carr faces up to 20 years in prison for mail fraud and wire fraud, up to 10 years in prison for money laundering, up to five years in prison for insurance fraud, and a fine of up to $250,000 on each count, said Booth.
Carr's Resident Insurance Producer License was revoked in West Virginia on Jan. 15, said Jason Butcher, public information officer for the West Virginia offices of the Insurance Commissioner.
While ODI is only aware of one Ohio victim, it is possible there are more who have not yet reported the fraud, said Denhard.
"When something like this is made know, sometimes other people come forward," he said.
Ohioans are encouraged to contact ODI at 1-800-686-1526 before buying insurance to ensure an agent is properly licensed, said Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor.

- Abstract
- We identify four rare 'jellyfish' galaxies in Hubble Space Telescope imagery of the major merger cluster Abell 2744. These galaxies harbor trails of star-forming knots and filaments which have formed in situ in gas tails stripped from the parent galaxies, indicating they are in the process of being transformed by the environment. Further evidence for rapid transformation in these galaxies comes from their optical spectra, which reveal starburst, poststarburst, and active galactic nucleus features. Most intriguingly, three of the jellyfish galaxies lie near intracluster medium features associated with a merging "Bullet-like" subcluster and its shock front detected in Chandra X-ray images. We suggest that the high-pressure merger environment may be responsible for the star formation in the gaseous tails. This provides observational evidence for the rapid transformation of galaxies during the violent core passage phase of a major cluster merger.

OMG, I can't believe what I just did. I BF DD down for her nap (she had a busy day and was worn out enough to go down for a change!). I swear any time DD BF's for an extended time (longer than 5 minutes these days), those BF'ing hormones make me super relaxed and sleepy and a bit spacy.
I got up from BF'ing thinking I needed to take out one of my contact lenses and put some solution on it because it had dried out some and went into the bathroom carrying my drink (Diet Coke). I set the Diet Coke next to my contact solution by the sink, took out my contact lens, and the next thing I notice, I'm pouring Diet Coke over my contact! I swear, BF'ing seems to make me do things with half a brain sometimes! It seems like the effects I feel from the oxytonin get stronger as DD gets older too (DD is 21 months).

10/02/13 - Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos - KO 3.30pm
Posted 12 February 2013 - 08:36 PM
Castleford Tigers are disappointed to confirm that star half back Rangi Chase has been banned for two games after tonights RFL disciplinary hearing.
Chase has been found guilty of committing a Grade B reckless strike on Leeds Rhinos full-back Zak Hardaker in the 63rd minute of Sunday's fixture at the Wish Communications Stadium.
The club are undecided whether or not to appeal. Chief Executive Steve Ferres said: "Naturally, we are disappointed by the outcome and are considering our options."

Doesn't look like an elbow was used here. Isn't that what Zak Hardaker accused Rangi of using? image.jpg 191.96KB 24 downloads
Zak admitted that he was wrong about the elbow this morning.
It's still a shoulder in the face, which at best is poor technique. Given Mr Chase's previous form for this type of challenge, I think he's very fortunate to get away with a two match ban.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 07:30 AM
That's a fudging silly thing to say. So if a player is going to ground then an elbow to the eye-socket is ok by him. Fool.
The picture is on twitter. It shows contact with the head, wouldnt say he's fallen into it. The picture isnt at exact time of impact.
Fozzard basically said Rangi did nothing wrong because zak and other players should learn to run upright so i asked him ,in that case once a players head drops below shoulder height should it become open season, to which he replied yep.
If you use "should of", "would of" or "could of", you are a moron.

i think he was meaning if your in full motion of doing a shoulder charge n the player either falls into it or tries to duck to avoid it its classed as accidental. If hardaker stand up straight he shadows over rangi n that shoulder hits him across the chest. Fozz doesn't exactly word what he mean by the sounds of it

Posted 13 February 2013 - 04:05 PM
Seems fair enough reasoning
The committee in finding Mr Chase guilty are satisfied that there was no intention to injure but do feel that the tackle was certainly reckless, with the potential for serious injury, although in this case it did not result. The act was certainly not malicious the committee feel.The committee take into account the player's record and feel that a 2 match suspension and a £300 fine is appropriate in this instance.

Wilson disease is a genetic disease that prevents the body from removing extra copper. The body needs a small amount of copper from food to stay healthy; however, too much copper is poisonous. Normally, the liver filters extra copper and releases it into bile. Bile is a fluid made by the liver that carries toxins and wastes out of the body through the gastrointestinal tract. In Wilson disease, the liver does not filter copper correctly and copper builds up in the liver, brain, eyes, and other organs. Over time, high copper levels can cause life-threatening organ damage.
The liver is the body's largest internal organ. The liver is called the body's metabolic factory because of the important role it plays in metabolism—the way cells change food into energy after food is digested and absorbed into the blood. The liver has many important functions, including
The liver is the body's largest internal organ.
A healthy liver is necessary for survival. The liver can regenerate most of its own cells when they become damaged. However, if injury to the liver is too severe or long lasting, regeneration is incomplete and the liver creates scar tissue.
Wilson disease is caused by an inherited autosomal recessive mutation, or change, in the ATP7B gene. In an autosomal recessive disease, the child has to inherit the gene mutation from both parents to have an increased likelihood for the disease. The chance of a child inheriting autosomal recessive mutations from both parents with a gene mutation is 25 percent, or one in four. If only one parent carries the mutated gene, the child will not get the disease, although the child may inherit one copy of the gene mutation. The child is called a "carrier" of the disease and can pass the gene mutation to the next generation. Genetic testing is a procedure that identifies changes in a patient's genes and can show whether a parent or child is a carrier of a mutated gene. Autosomal recessive diseases are typically not seen in every generation of an affected family.
The following chart shows the chance of inheriting an autosomal recessive mutation from parents who both carry the mutated gene.
The chance of a child inheriting autosomal recessive mutations from both parents with a gene mutation is 25 percent, or one in four.
Each cell contains thousands of genes that provide the instructions for making proteins for growth and repair of the body. If a gene has a mutation, the protein made by that gene may not function properly. Not all gene mutations cause a disease.
People have two copies of most genes; they inherit one copy from each parent. A genetic disease occurs when one or both parents pass a mutated gene to a child at conception. A genetic disease can also occur through a spontaneous gene mutation, meaning neither parent carries a copy of the mutated gene. Once a spontaneous gene mutation has occurred in a person, that person can pass the gene mutation on to a child.
Read more about genes and genetic conditions in the U.S. National Library of Medicine's Genetics Home Reference at www.ghr.nlm.nih.gov.
Men and women develop Wilson disease at equal rates. About one in 30,000 people have Wilson disease. Symptoms usually appear between ages 5 and 35; however, new cases have been reported in people ages 3 to 72.1
A person's risk of being a carrier or having Wilson disease increases when his or her family has a known history of Wilson disease. Some people may not know about a family history of the condition because the mutation is often passed to a child by a parent who is a carrier. A person's chances of having Wilson disease increase if a health care provider has diagnosed one or both parents with the condition.

The signs and symptoms of Wilson disease vary, depending on what organs of the body are affected. Wilson disease is present at birth; however, the signs and symptoms of the disease do not appear until the copper builds up in the liver, the brain, or other organs.
When people have signs and symptoms, they usually affect the liver, the central nervous system, or both. The central nervous system includes the brain, the spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. Sometimes a person does not have symptoms and a health care provider discovers the disease during a routine physical exam or blood test, or during an illness. Children can have Wilson disease for several years before any signs and symptoms occur. People with Wilson disease may have
People with Wilson disease may develop signs and symptoms of chronic, or long lasting, liver disease:
Some people with Wilson disease may not develop signs or symptoms of liver disease until they develop acute liver failure—a condition that develops suddenly.
Central nervous system-related symptoms usually appear in people after the liver has retained a lot of copper; however, signs and symptoms of liver disease may not be present. Central nervous system-related symptoms occur most often in adults and sometimes occur in children.1 Signs and symptoms include
A health care provider may refer people with these symptoms to a neurologist—a doctor who specializes in nervous system diseases.
Some people will have mental health-related signs and symptoms when copper builds up in the central nervous system. Signs and symptoms may include
Other signs and symptoms of Wilson disease may include
Kayser-Fleischer rings result from a buildup of copper in the eyes and are the most unique sign of Wilson disease. During an eye exam, a health care provider will see a rusty-brown ring around the edge of the iris and in the rim of the cornea. The iris is the colored part of the eye surrounding the pupil. The cornea is the transparent outer membrane or layer that covers the eye.
People with Wilson disease who show signs of nervous system damage usually have Kayser-Fleischer rings. However, the rings are present in only 40 to 66 percent of people with signs of liver damage alone.1

People who have Wilson disease that is not treated or diagnosed early can have serious complications, such as
A health care provider may use several tests and exams to diagnose Wilson disease, including the following:
Health care providers typically see the same symptoms of Wilson disease in other conditions, and the symptoms of Wilson disease do not occur together often, making the disease difficult to diagnose.
A health care provider may take a medical and family history to help diagnose Wilson disease.
A physical exam may help diagnose Wilson disease. During a physical exam, a health care provider usually
A health care provider will use a special light called a slit lamp to look for Kayser-Fleischer rings in the eyes.
A nurse or technician will draw blood samples at a health care provider's office or a commercial facility and send the samples to a lab for analysis. A health care provider may
24-hour urine collection. A patient will collect urine at home in a special container provided by a health care provider's office or a commercial facility. A health care provider sends the sample to a lab for analysis. A 24-hour urine collection will show increased copper in the urine in most patients who have symptoms due to Wilson disease.
A liver biopsy is a procedure that involves taking a small piece of liver tissue for examination with a microscope for signs of damage or disease. The health care provider may ask the patient to stop taking certain medications temporarily before the liver biopsy. He or she may also ask the patient to fast—eat or drink nothing—for 8 hours before the procedure.
During the procedure, the patient lies on a table, right hand resting above the head. The health care provider applies a local anesthetic to the area where he or she will insert the biopsy needle. If needed, a health care provider will also give sedatives and pain medication. The health care provider uses the needle to take a small piece of liver tissue. He or she may use ultrasound, computerized tomography scans, or other imaging techniques to guide the needle. After the biopsy, the patient must lie on the right side for up to 2 hours and is monitored an additional 2 to 4 hours before being sent home.
A pathologist—a doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases—examines the liver tissue in a lab. The test can show cirrhosis of the liver. Sometimes the liver biopsy will show copper buildup in the liver cells; however, the results can vary because the copper does not always deposit evenly into the liver. Therefore, health care providers often find it more useful to analyze a piece of liver tissue for copper content. Most patients with Wilson disease have high levels of copper in the liver tissue when compared with carriers or with people who do not have Wilson disease.
More information is provided in the NIDDK health topic, Liver Biopsy.
A health care provider may order imaging tests to evaluate brain abnormalities in patients who have nervous system symptoms often seen with Wilson disease, or in patients diagnosed with Wilson disease. Health care providers do not use brain imaging tests to diagnose Wilson disease, though certain findings may suggest the patient has the disease.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI is a test that takes pictures of the body's internal organs and soft tissues without using x rays. A specially trained technician performs the procedure in an outpatient center or a hospital, and a radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging—interprets the images. The patient does not need anesthesia, though people with a fear of confined spaces may receive light sedation, taken by mouth. An MRI may include the injection of a special dye, called contrast medium. With most MRI machines, the patient will lie on a table that slides into a tunnel-shaped device that may be open ended or closed at one end. Some machines allow the patient to lie in a more open space. The technician will take a sequence of images from different angles to create a detailed picture of the brain. During sequencing, the patient will hear loud mechanical knocking and humming noises. MRI can show if other diseases or conditions are causing the patient's neurological symptoms.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan. A CT scan uses a combination of x rays and computer technology to create images. For a CT scan, a health care provider may give the patient a solution to drink and an injection of contrast medium. CT scans require the patient to lie on a table that slides into a tunnel-shaped device where a technician takes the x rays. An x-ray technician performs the procedure in an outpatient center or a hospital. A radiologist interprets the images. The patient does not need anesthesia. A CT scan can show if other diseases or conditions are causing the patient's neurological symptoms.
A health care provider will treat Wilson disease with a lifelong effort to reduce and control the amount of copper in the body. Treatment may include
A health care provider will prescribe medications to treat Wilson disease. The medications have different actions that health care providers use during different phases of the treatment.
Chelating agents. Chelating agents are medications that remove extra copper from the body by releasing it from organs into the bloodstream. Once the cooper is in the bloodstream, the kidneys then filter the copper and pass it into the urine. A health care provider usually recommends chelating agents at the beginning of treatment. A potential side effect of chelating agents is that nervous system symptoms may become worse during treatment. The two medications available for this type of treatment include
A health care provider will prescribe a lower dose of a chelating agent to women who are pregnant to reduce the risk of birth defects. A health care provider should consider future screening on any newborn whose parent has Wilson disease.
Zinc. A health care provider will prescribe zinc for patients who do not have symptoms, or after a person has completed successful treatment using a chelating agent and symptoms begin to improve. Zinc, taken by mouth as zinc salts such as zinc acetate (Galzin), blocks the digestive tract's absorption of copper from food. Although most people taking zinc usually do not experience side effects, some people may experience stomach upset. A health care provider may prescribe zinc for children with Wilson disease who show no symptoms. Women may take the full dosage of zinc safely during pregnancy.
Maintenance, or long term, treatment begins when symptoms improve and tests show that copper is at a safe level. Maintenance treatment typically includes taking zinc or a lower dose of a chelating agent. A health care provider closely monitors the person and reviews regular blood and urine tests to ensure maintenance treatment controls the copper level in the body.
Treatment for people with Wilson disease who have no symptoms may include a chelating agent or zinc in order to prevent symptoms from developing and stop or slow disease progression.
People with Wilson disease will take medications for the rest of their lives. Follow-up and adherence to the health care provider's treatment plan is necessary to manage symptoms and prevent organ damage.
People with Wilson disease should reduce their dietary copper intake by avoiding foods that are high in copper, such as
People should not eat these foods during the initial treatment and talk with the health care provider to discuss if they are safe to eat in moderation during maintenance treatment.
People with Wilson disease whose tap water runs through copper pipes or comes from a well should check the copper levels in the tap water. Water that sits in copper pipes may pick up copper residue, but running water lowers the level to within acceptable limits. People with Wilson disease should not use copper containers or cookware to store or prepare food or drinks.
To help ensure coordinated and safe care, people should discuss their use of complementary and alternative medical practices, including their use of vitamins and dietary supplements, with their health care provider. Read more at www.nccam. nih.gov/health. If the health care provider recommends taking any type of supplement or vitamin, a pharmacist can recommend types that do not contain copper.
People should talk with a health care provider about diet changes to reduce copper intake.
A liver transplant may be necessary in people when
A liver transplant is an operation to remove a diseased or an injured liver and replace it with a healthy one from another person, called a donor. A successful transplant is a life-saving treatment for people with liver failure.
Most liver transplants are successful. About 85 percent of transplanted livers are functioning after 1 year.2 Liver transplant surgery provides a cure for Wilson disease in most cases. More information is provided in the NIDDK health topic, Liver Transplantation.

A person cannot prevent Wilson disease; however, people with a family history of Wilson disease, especially those with an affected sibling or parent, should talk with a health care provider about testing. A health care provider may be able to diagnose Wilson disease before symptoms appear. Early diagnosis and treatment of Wilson disease can reduce or even prevent organ damage.
People with a family history of the disease may also benefit from genetic testing that can identify one or more gene mutations. A health care provider may refer a person with a family history of Wilson disease to a geneticist—a doctor who specializes in genetic diseases.

- New report shows several factors involved in honey bee colony declines
- Pesticide exposure
• The EPA says there are multiple factors playing a role in honey bee colony declines, including parasites and disease, genetics, poor nutrition and pesticide exposure.
A new USDA and EPA report on honey bee health states there are multiple factors playing a role in honey bee colony declines, including parasites and disease, genetics, poor nutrition and pesticide exposure.
"There is an important link between the health of American agriculture and the health of our honeybees for our country's long-term agricultural productivity," said Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan.
"The forces impacting honey bee health are complex and USDA, our research partners, and key stakeholders will be engaged in addressing this challenge."
"The decline in honey bee health is a complex problem caused by a combination of stressors, and at EPA we are committed to continuing our work with USDA, researchers, beekeepers, growers and the public to address this challenge," said Acting EPA Administrator Bob Perciasepe.
"The report we've released today is the product of unprecedented collaboration, and our work in concert must continue. As the report makes clear, we've made significant progress, but there is still much work to be done to protect the honey bee population."
In October 2012, a National Stakeholders Conference on Honey Bee Health, led by federal researchers and managers, along with Pennsylvania State University, was convened to synthesize the current state of knowledge regarding the primary factors that scientists believe have the greatest impact on managed bee health.
Key findings:
Parasites and disease present risks to honey bees:
• The parasiticVarroa mite is recognized as the major factor underlying colony loss in the U.S. and other countries. There is widespread resistance to the chemicals beekeepers use to control mites within the hive. New virus species have been found in the U.S. and several of these have been associated with Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
Increased genetic diversity is needed:
• U.S. honeybee colonies need increased genetic diversity. Genetic variation improves bees thermoregulation (the ability to keep body temperature steady even if the surrounding environment is different), disease resistance and worker productivity.
• Honey bee breeding should emphasize traits such as hygienic behavior that confer improved resistance to Varroa mites and diseases (such as American foulbrood).
Poor nutrition among honey bee colonies:
• Nutrition has a major impact on individual bee and colony longevity. A nutrition-poor diet can make bees more susceptible to harm from disease and parasites. Bees need better forage and a variety of plants to support colony health.
• Federal and state partners should consider actions affecting land management to maximize available nutritional forage to promote and enhance good bee health and to protect bees by keeping them away from pesticide-treated fields.
There is a need for improved collaboration and information sharing:
• Best Management Practices associated with bees and pesticide use, exist, but are not widely or systematically followed by members of the crop-producing industry. There is a need for informed and coordinated communication between growers and beekeepers and effective collaboration between stakeholders on practices to protect bees from pesticides.
• Beekeepers emphasized the need for accurate and timely bee kill incident reporting, monitoring, and enforcement.

Your Health: Local Women Invent Pill Monitoring System
Most of us have done it - forgotten if we have taken prescribed medication.
That dilemma prompted a Watertown woman and her daughter to come up with a solution which has since been patented and marketed.
Patricia Landino-Buck has Parkinson's disease and she always takes her medication right on schedule.
She uses the Med-Sked Tab System on her pill bottles, something that she and her daughter, Michael Beadling, invented after mismanagement of her medication sent her to the hospital.
"She originally came up with a concept of a tab system that you would pull off the bottle of medication itself that would say, 'Okay, I took my medication that day.' From there we just kind of came up with the engineering idea of how it could fit every type of medication packaging," said Beadling.
The end result is a plastic sleeve, which a removable tab for each day of the week and fits over the pill bottle.
The first big sale was to Merck Pharmaceuticals.
"They loved the idea because they wanted to use it as a clinical trial to about 14 different countries across the world. So they bought about 75,000 of them to start," said Beadling.
At $1.50 each, that resulted in a profit of $114,000.
It was Michael's uncle, a downstate businessman, who did the marketing.
The operation has now been licensed to him and a partner with Michael and her mom getting a cut.
The reminder tabs will soon be available to the general public through the company website www.medskedtab.com.
