Interview G-0008, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
Interview with Ella Baker, April 19, 1977
Civil rights activist and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) mentor Ella Josephine Baker outlines her family history, traces her growing radical tendencies, and explains the catalysts that pushed her into public activism. Baker opens the interview with her own family's history. She explains how important the church was to her family and to the life of her community, and she reflects on how that heritage affected her later social activism. She also describes how economic pressures led to a migration of rural southern black families--including her own--to large cities during the early twentieth century: to find work, Baker's father and several of his siblings moved from Warren County, North Carolina, to Norfolk, Virginia. Her father found a job on a steamer that ran from Norfolk to Washington, D.C. After a few years in Norfolk, Baker, her brother, and her mother moved back to North Carolina while her father remained in Virginia to work. Baker attended Shaw University for nine years, completing both her high school and college education at the same institution. While there, she took issue with some of the positions of the university's administration; meanwhile she felt that the professors prompted her to begin questioning her society. After graduating from Shaw, Baker moved to New York City and began working with the Workers' Education Project (WEP). After a few years with the WEP, she became involved in the Cooperative League (CL), an alliance of cooperative businesses. Through her contacts in the CL, Baker joined the NAACP in the early 1940s. She discusses the limitations placed on women in the organization and how she overcame them. Though Baker had enjoyed her work for the NAACP, she felt that the administrative leadership took advantage of her abilities without according her a similar level of recognition or respect. For this reason, she left her job after four and a half years. Soon thereafter, Baker married and assumed guardianship of her niece. In the 1950s, Baker became involved in education activism and, in 1958, she returned to the South, quickly joining the protests occurring in Montgomery. She was the only woman present at the founding of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and she speaks briefly about the important leaders that emerged from that organization. While working for the SCLC, Baker helped organize SNCC and mentored its leaders as they separated from the SCLC.

Welcome to New Leaf!
Welcome! My name is Maria Enns.
A graduate of the University of Regina's Arts Education program, I taught art to middle years students for two years before starting my own business of creating things. New Leaf Handmade Goods, though currently not selling online, has been in business since March 2010 and sells items through the Grasslands Gallery in Val Marie and the SaskMade Marketplace in Saskatoon.
I love to create practical and beautiful notebooks, and also enjoy creating artwork using fabric, paper and mixed media. I also sell my photography prints that reflect the unexpected and often subtle beauty of the prairies surrounding her home. I currently live on a farm near Herbert amidst wild rolling hills and find inspiration for my works in this windy prairie land. I am continually amazed at the inconspicuous beauty that hides in the pastures and along the gravel roads.
The materials I use to create my products are turning over a new leaf. Most of the paper, fabrics, etc. are post-consumer materials: sheet music discovered in thrift shops, parts of greeting cards received in the mail, stationary my grandpa found at a garage sale. It's important to me that what I create doesn't require a whole lot of newly manufactured parts. There's personality, and surely a few stories, attached to my materials. I makes my goods in anticipation of bringing beauty into lives of others and allowing those stories to continue.

And today's specials are
30 April 2011 § 1 Comment
Spring has sprung slowly this year, but we can view the arrival of asparagus as a good sign! Today at the Montclair Farmers' Market, Vacchiano Farms had plenty of asparagus, escarole, arugula as well as apples, parsnips and cabbage. You could definitely cook a few good meals by shopping solely at their stand – they have a good protein selection of meat, eggs and home-made mozzarella and ricotta cheese. It is really good that they are year-rounders here.
Next door to Vacchiano Farms, I took the opportunity to speak with Jimmy LaPrete, owner of Shore Catch who brings Jersey fresh seafood to our local farmers' markets. Jimmy works with the local fisherman to bring the freshest to us landlubbers. He told me how the fishermen are really trying to fish sustainably, holding off when certain species are running low to allow them to replenish. Today he had a good choice of cod, clams, scallops and tile fish. With Cinco de Mayo on the horizon, I feel a fish taco recipe coming on. Watch this space.
The Montclair Farmers' Market is at the Walnut Street Station every Saturday from 8am to noon.

I was noticing one contributors post and remembered an incident that happened to me years ago. I was heavily involved in local government, and so everyone knew who I was. Anyway, a couple of police officers showed up in my office with a warrant for my arrest. Needless to say, I'm stunned, trying to remember every ticket I've ever had and trying to recall if I'd paid them. Turns out the charge was for Failure to appear _ Okay _, but failure to appear for what?
Seems the warrant was failure to appear on a court ordered child support case. By this time I'm wondering if I haven't some children out there I don't know about, or if my ex wasn't pulling a fast one (especially considering I had custody of the kids and they lived with me). Suddenly it clicked, I asked if they could give me the address and physical of the perp (being a retired cop does have it's perks, they at least humored me). The address came back to a different town that I'd never lived in, and the party in question was a good 4 inches shorter than me, a year younger, and 50 pounds lighter.
"I know who you're after. You're after my cousin!" He and I shared the same first and last name. and almost the same birth date (Sep 1 for me, Sep 2 for him with a year separating us). When they realized their mistake, I told them give me a couple of hours, I round him up for you.
I drove down to his house, and explained when the cops show up wanting to arrest me because of something he failed to do it was time for him to get in and take care of business.
Anyone else had anything like that happen to them?

I also received a hot check warrant meant for a cousin (whom I'd never met). He had the same first initial and last name. The warrant had my full name and social on it. I called the Sheriffs department and they said to disregard. I made them send me a letter I could keep in the glove box. I can just see that going down. "I promise officer, the warrants for my cousin." Pretty sloppy work by the Sheriffs dept.
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:12 UTC
WOW, at least you handled it with grace!
Nothing like that to me, but it did happen to a friend's father (well, he is no longer a friend anymore).
So my friend gets one too many tickets and can't afford another ding. So he borrows his father's license, with whom he shares a name (except for the "Jr." on his own).
So the dude gets pulled over again, and hands over his father's license. Now the photo is an older one of the dad, but there are enough resemblances that I guess it didn't tip off the cop. So "friend" goes free with another ticket, but not on his license.
This happens a few more times and he fails to pay the tickets. So the cops come to arrest the guy on the license, my friend's father. They somehow get it sorted out, but it's a hassle.
The guy still pulls crap like this, and he is over 40. Oh, and still lives at home with mom (dad has since passed).
A messed up little world they live in.

My family has had a problem with a name, and a registration plate.
The debt collectors came round to our house looking for a 'Janice Morgan', the people who tipped them off mis-heard. The name of my grand mother is 'Joyce Wogan'.
She was in tears thinking what she hadn't paid for, poor woman.
My grand father also received a speeding ticket because the speed camera read a letter wrong. the coincidence was that the incident was just up the road from us, so he instantly called to clarify he hadn't been there in months. They checked the picture, and the ANPR hadn't read the number correctly.
I wonder how many innocent people have been stung by this?
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:19 UTC
Nothing involving Law Enforcement. My record comes back clean, perhaps too clean as some have stated when background check are run.
I've received several creditor calls before about loans and credit applications pertaining to my dad who I share the same name and initials minus the middle name John, and Joel. When i tell them I am his son, and my address things usually are cleared up. We still haven't found out where this is listed incorrectly. I checked and double checked my credit info and nothing has appeared to be out of whack.
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:21 UTC
Not to the degree you had.
I got a call ehre the toher day from a bill collector wanting to know why I was not paying notes on my Dodge pickup (I do have a Dodge).
He kept calling me "David", which is my name.
I told him A.) I was at work and did not haev time for this, and B.) I don't pay the bills anyway - my wife does, and C.) she has never been behind on a truck payment.
He went into his scrip and asked on what date I would send a payment for ny Dodge 1500 and that's when it snapped. I own a one ton. I asked him who he thought he sas talking to, Turns out there is another "David" who works in this and other buildings, and when he called he did not use a last name.
If he didn't use bill collector tactics it would have saved us both a lot of time and aggravation.

I once got pulled over in a remote area of northern Wisconsin for a busted taillight - and let go with a warning to get it fixed. A minute after driving away, the same cop pulled me over again.
The reason? "You have both an Illinois and a Wisconsin driver's license and that is illegal."
"I turned in my WI license several years ago when I moved to Illinois and got a license there. Did you look at the names and social security numbers on those licenses? One of them is mine and one of them is my twin brother with whom I share a birthdate and the same initials."
Sigh. Not even a same-name situation. If the guy had bothered to even actually read what he was seeing in front of him... I've known databases that tried a little harder than this cop...
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:26 UTC
My record is completely clean as well, I couldn't even imagine if this happened to me! What a shock that'd be!

I lost my wallet in high school, and apparently someone found it and robbed our local post office. The cops had previously stopped whoever it was and asked for ID, and whoever it was showed them my ID and the cop wrote it down.
Sometime next week the principal pulls me out of class and there is a cop there in his office, and he starts questioning me about why I broke into the post office. Of course I had no idea what he was talking about, and he started getting upset with me telling me that they had my license number etc. Finally he "humored" me and called the cop who had saw the "perp" the night the post office was broke into, and sent him a few pictures of me.
The cop then called him back about an hour later telling him that I was not the guy. That sucked. But hey, at least justice prevailed.
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:29 UTC
Something similar -- somehow some years back my father's name got connected with my address in some database somewhere, even though he's never lived in California. So after I moved to my new apartment and filed a change of address form, now for the past two years (since he's just started getting close to Medicare age) I've been getting one or two items for him in my mailbox every week about Medicare insurance supplements, or various other health offers applicable to senior citizens.
Drives me nuts.
For a while I started writing "No such person at this address" on them and putting them back in the mailbox, but it doesn't seem to help.

Somewhat similar happening to me the past couple weeks. Currently financing a car and got a call from a collections agency at work. I wasn't at my desk so they left a message basically saying "CALL BACK ASAP!". Got me all worried even though I pay my car payments on time. Call back and they ask for personal details (Date of Birth) and they realize it doesn't match their records. They ask me if I'm Derek (Last Name) and I reply no and there's no other Derek that works here. They apologize and I thought it was done with. Nope, got a call last week with the same thing. This time I repeat that I'm not that person and there is no other Derek that works here.

When I was much younger, some friends of mine and I were out and about. All of the sudden this cop pulls up to us, and lines us all up against the wall and starts asking for ID, etc. Within another couple of minutes, some other guy comes up and says to the cop, "that's not them." It was over almost as fast as it began, but it was still pretty freaky.
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:42 UTC
Many years ago, in my pre-IT days, I started a new job at a huge company. Shortly thereafter I stared getting calls and mail from outside vendors. An exclusive clothier was trying to schedule trips to my office for custom-fitting new suits. A young lady at a PR firm called me to get my OK to release a press release. I was rather mystified. About a week later the press release apparently was OK'd, as I read where the company had just sold off a smaller corporate entity, including quotes from Dennis OBrien, president of the division. I never did get a custom suit out of the situation.
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:45 UTC
This not a personal account, but it does kind of one up people... this lady my mum knows was pulled over one day, and after the cop ran her info he questioned her closely and she couldn't figure out why until he told her the system said she was dead. Basically some half asleep person puting in a deceased record must have transposed a couple digits in the social so, she was "legally dead". Luck for her she was a staffer at a law firm and they decided even though it wasn't their brand of law (corp lawyers) they'd take up her case as an interesting challenge and get her undeceased...
Does that mean she was a zombie for a few weeks?
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:46 UTC
A 'similar' address works as well to cause trouble. Right after moving into my previous home I got the 3am pounding on the door.
I opened it, the first thing out of the cop's mouth was, "Been drinking?" He was obviously pumped up and pissed off.
I was still blinking-half-asleep and replied, "No, I've been SLEEPING."
He snarled back, "Do you now where your car is??"
Me, waking up and getting more grumpy than scared: "In the garage, I hope. Why?"
Then his tone changes and he starts asking serious question like, do you own a nineteenwhatever Saturn, is your name yada-yada.... Of course, the @hole I bought the house from hadn't changed the address on his drivers license, got wasted, parked his POS Saturn in someone's front yard and took off. My friendly local law enforcement was having a bad night and looking forward to kicking someone's tail. Whoops.
Nov 8, 2011 at 11:53 UTC
Also remember a story from my dad...
He was stopped at customs going into the US and repeated asked when his last visit to ... um... lets say Lebanon (I forget the exact country) was. Of course my dad (who'd never been there) denied ever being there. It took a while to sort out, but apparently there was another person out there who had been to some country the US wasn't fond of at the time. This was probable 20 years ago and the instant access computer data wasn't availible to "clear" my dad very quickly.

A few years ago, local government installed DOZENS of motion sensing 'traffic cameras' around town to catch red-light runners. To this day, the cameras have been removed. I only know of ONE instance were this system worked properly. A friend of mine got a notice from police with a citation for running a red-light. He fought it claiming he was not driving on the alleged date.. So they sent him a photograph with him quite clearly in the drivers seat. Owned.

The former occupants of the apartment I currently live in have robbed some stores and ripped off my landlord and other entities. over the last 3 months I have had cops with guns drawn and swat pound on my door. Even when I show them my ID and my lease, they keep coming back. I did ask them the last time they were here if they knew how to do their jobs, as every time they show up looking for A & B, I am there with my clean record, Drivers License and copy of lease.
Nov 8, 2011 at 12:02 UTC
Nothing to do with law enforment but it just reminded me of this story. When I was young (teenager... 17 or 18) I was delivering pizza for a job, as it paid cash and meshed well with school/college with the hours being mostly evening. In any case a new pizza shop had just opened up.. the first national chain in the city I lived in at the time. When it opened it was the first day for many of us, including most of the 14 delivery drivers. My new boss kept asking me, at various times throughout the night, "Are you FREE?" ... slightly puzzled.... I always responded "sure, what would you like me to do?" I remember wondering why he would even ask, he was my boss.... he knew my job and if I was standing in front of him available to talk, it seemed obvious that I was indeed FREE.... anyway within the next day or two people started to get to know one another and it turned out that he had hired a guy named Free Bird of Peace..... when he introduced himself as "FREE" the lightbulb went off.... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH lol... so I guess I am NOT Free! Damn hippies... who knew!

Years ago my and and I and my in-laws both used the same car insurance company. They had a 93 Toyota Camry, and we had a 92 Toyota Corolla. For a year I kept getting bills for a 93 Toyota Camry, which being a newer and more expensive vehicle, were much higher than what my bill should have been. The vehicle id matched my in-laws car. We were also living in different states. It took over a year and tons of calls to my agent and letters to the company to sort out. Fortunately they did send me a letter stating that I was covered while the matter was being looked into. But as usual, the left hand had no clue what the right hand was up to and it took over a year to fix. But on the brightside, I didn't have to pay for car insurance for over a year.

My brother's first name is John, but he has always gone by his middle name, Aaron. He got pulled over and gave Aaron as his name to the officer. The cop looked at his liscense and arrested him for failure to identify. He tried explaining, but the cop wouldn't hear it.
The funny part was when my other brother's best friend who worked for the sherif's office walked by and saw my brother behind bars. The first words out of his mother were, "Hey Aaron, what are you doing here?" The cop that had arrested him heard the whole thing and had to let him go. My brother was about 17 at the time.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

Dietary Changes, B Complex, Cod Liver Oil, Warm Water
I had suffered with carpal tunnel for 3 years in both hands and got progressively worst to the point that I was only getting 45mins to 2hrs sleep per night. I had tried every cream, every natural vitamin and supplements. Nothing worked, so I decide to have surgery on my left hand first (since I am righty)and presto problem solved, 2 months later I had my right hand operated on and was cured for carpal tunnel. My joy lasted for 3 days after my second surgery, because I developed severe Fibromyalgia throughout my entire body that lasted 7 months. I was actually crippled, if not for my desire to overcome this ailment, I probably would have been hospitalized and I thought I was going to DIE. I got up every morning and took Vicadin and Cymbalta plus a steroid to get through my day. (I pomise I will get to the Trigger Finger Cure). I beat my Fibromyalgia by my persistance and crawling to the gym to strenghten my muscles. After I was cured for the Fibro, I developed Trigger Fingers on the left index and thumb and right hand thumb and pinky, I could not pick up anything because the pain and locking effect was so painful. However, I cured my trigger fingers by not eating fried foods and taking B complex vitamins. Also a chinese acupunturist told me that warm or hot beverages must be drank with all meals. After 1 week of 4 eight ounces of warm water, B complex vitamins, No fried foods, Cod liver oil and hot tea with food---Presto no more Trigger Finger and better health and complexion. I hope it works for you..

Distilled Water
I had trigger thumb for almost a year. I could not bend my thumb joint on its own and when it did get bent it was excruciating. I did not want to see a doctor because I knew from other people I knew who had experienced trigger finger/thumb that all the doctor would do is give an injection of cortisone, which I did not want! My sister-in-law suggested that I try drinking distilled water, because she had been using this method for 2 years to relieve the pain and immobility that she used to have in her hands; prior to this she could not make a fist. Every time she would stop drinking the water her pain would return. So with an open mind, I tried it and after 3 or 4 days I was able to bend my thumb on its own!! It was still a little stiff and very slight pain. I used distilled water in coffee, tea and cooking if it was to be consumed, i.e. soup , etc. It is absolutely amazing and really works. It has been a month now and I have full mobility again and no pain! As a bonus all of my joints feel better. So try it before anything else.

The use cotton ball to apply to area (s), include wrist and back of hand. In less than 5 minutes, the pain was gone. I also drank 2 tbsp of MOM to get magnesium internally. I hope it helps someone else.
Where do I get dmso?

DMSO is a by-product of the paper industry. It does come from trees, but only because sodium sulfite and sodium hydroxide are used to dissolve the lignin holding the cellulose fibers together. That product is called black liquor. It then has to go through another process to obtain the DMSO. Not a big deal, but that is the way the chemistry works.
The first plant to do this was in Bogalusa, La. in the '60's. I knew the DMSO supervisor and he said no employee had ever had the flu while working in that area. DMSO is one of the most powerful solvents known. It was destroyed by Big Pharma because, like Ozone, it is too effective and too cheap.
Most of these bright government folks who put it down have read Dante's Inferno, so they know in what ring in hell they will burn.
I have a finger that triggers part of the time. To stop it, I place hands with wrist spread apart, finger tip to finger tip and press so that it stretches the tendons of the hands and will go for weeks with out triggering. Hope this helps.
My trigger finger has been Cured, thank be to God. I was three weeks from my scheduled operation when I started a routine of hanging from a monkey bars, if I recall right I instantly had a result the first day. One week in the rooting I cancelled the operation and two months later more or less I'm cured.
This is what the therapy that I recommend:
Hang from a monkey bar or any alternative structure that you can roll your finger around a bar that lifts you from the floor. Hang from the bar for 10 seconds and release repeat this 10 times, do this exercise daily.

Fish Oil
Hope this helps someone. About ten months ago I developed the trigger finger in the middle finger of both hands and stiffness in my fingers especially bad in the mornings. I bought an online highly rated splint to use, there was no improvement. I started using fish oil supplements about three months ago and the locking is completely gone. I still have stiffness in my fingers but it has improved significantly. (I am 35, female and generally very healthy)
Fish Oil, Ball Exercise
Months ago had Trigger Finger problem in my right thumb. I followed Ted's remedies from Earth Clinic and other remedies from the same website. I really improved when I started taking Fish oil and sometimes Cod liver oil, as well as eating more salmon, fish, fruits, and vegetables, and tried not to do much work with that hand with the injured thumb. Also, the exercises with a small ball that I got at the Academy store did help me. The ball is similar to the ones used to release stress. My thumb is a 90% better since the problem started. Now can move it very well..
I do not recommend surgery, found out that surgery is not the best option. I encourage you to be patient.
I thank God for you all who shared the information on the Trigger finger at Earth Clinic.
Flex Ball
Trigger Thumb/ Trigger Finger. First of all let me tell you I love this site. After suffering from trigger thumb (both hands) and Trigger finger,for 6 months I believe I found something that helps. After seeing my Doctor and having several injections, my last hope was surgery. This I didn't want. I tried everything. I came across a product called LivRite Flex-Ball. Its a small ball filled with a squishy material. I purchased it at Wal-Mart for $3.00 I have been using this ball for a week now and my symptoms are easing up. I can bend my thumbs again, and the pain is also easing. I'm not going to lie, when you first start to squeeze this ball, it hurts, but the pain does decrease with use. I set it by my T.V. everytime I sit down I do a few squeezes. Hope this helps some of you like it helped me.

Foods to Avoid
I have trigger finger in my middle finger. If acidity causes it, does that mean I should avoid ACV? Also, I drink a lot of kefir that I culture at home. Kefir is acidic, and I wonder if that could be "triggering" it. I'd hate to have to give up kefir and/or ACV because of all the health benefits associated with them, but I do want to get rid of the trigger finger.

I believe I read that low magnesium causes this but I also think that dehydration would contribute. Since magnesium pushes the calcium in and out of the cells and also aids the salt to hold the water in the cells then it would affect the joints as well.
With no water cushioning the joints, they would get sticky and very painful. Try a multi vitamin and multi mineral supplement and drink water half an hour before eating.

Margaret, with regard to the ACV I have two sharings: first, in spite of the efficacy of ACV, Blood Type A people do not do well on Vinegar, including ACV [see Eat Right for Your Type by D'Adamo].
However, w/ regard to acidity please remember that its not the acidity of what goes into the body but what happens when the body processes it [burns, oxidizes, or whatever you wish to call it] and the sah it deposits. Many acidic things like Lemons create strong alkalinity, thus negating acidity.
Finally, many parasites [Candida for example] generate acid systems.

Gayle's Bandaid Method
Bandaids cured my trigger finger. I kept a bandaid wrapped where my thumb bends, keeping it straight and unable to bend for (2 to 3) months and I was cured. I believe trigger finger flares up by using the flex motion too much and letting it heal and not being used (such as carpal tunnell) lets the joint relax.
Indianapolis, Indiana
I have just been diagnosed with trigger finger on my left thumb. Ironically, it started with me getting a rose bud thorn in my thum, which I though I got all out. This happened in March 2010. It is May 2010, and I am my thumb is still hurting. I am trying everything I can not to have surgery. Right now I have a rubber ball I am squeezing. I might try the ginger tea. I appreciate any advice anyone has. I don't like surgery. Thanks

I agree with Gayle's bandaid method. I wore a splint on my finger for a long time to keep it from bending and it has cured my trigger finger in the past. When I have not been able to wear it though because it got in the way, I noticed a significant increase in the swelling and pain when my finger was able to bend. Gayle's idea of a bandaid is much better than a splint because it is a lot less cumbersome and can virtually be worn at all times.

Yes I use tape and it was getting better now its hurting again I am trying b-6, red river clay, arnica, traumeel, mend-me-shop home ultrasound, was feeling better but I had vitamin c, chocolate and caffeine today and now it hurts again. I am trying alkalyzing drops and I must lower the acid.
Just purchased the book Balancing Body Chemistry about over acid how this creates all disease. Great book. Thing is vit c is very important. I take Ester c where am I going to get that from now if not from this? Also I love dark chocolate. Green tea keeps me up at night even if I have it in morning.. Looks like acid foods cause the flare up. I bicycle a lot and grip the handle bar. Hate trigger thumb but refuse to go for the cortisone shot. It has helped people in one shot but I am afraid to weaken the tendons there. Also taking type 1 collagen, msm thought I bought it the other day for good but here it is again.
I like the hot water idea, the tape, the vitamin b6, garlic capsules and natural antiinfalammotory. When is this going to end? if it is diet related, looks like I am giving up so many foods nothing left to eat of things that I love that are also good for you such as some dk choco, caffeine is also beneficial in some levels, tomoto sauce is lycopene have to give all this up? What fun is there in eating now?? As it is I have given up most offending fattening foods but love certain things. Need to be food nun? once and for all what the heck is this trigger thumb and lets be rid of it!! I think I will try the acupuncture.

It worked for me! I had severe trigger thumb (left hand) for a month. Went to an orthepedic surgeon who diagnosed it as trigger thumb and gave me a cortisone shot. That worked for about a week. Pain came back. I did not want to have another cortisone shor or surgery so I looked for a homeopathic remedy. I found, and finally decided to try, the "bandaid" method. I bought some first aid tape at my local pharmacy, wrapped my thumb and kept the tape on day and night. After 2-3 days my thumb felt much better and did not hurt, especially at night and/or while sleeping.
After 3-4 weeks of taping my trigger thumb problem is 80%-90% managable! The tape/wrap "bandaid" method worked for me! Now I only need to put the tape on if my thumb is hurting at night and, if it is, the tape gives me immediate relief! It's a miracle!
More then likely it felt better from the cortisone shot which will work for about 9 months. After getting the shot it can hurt for up to 2 weeks from my experience. I had it in my right thumb and got the operation. I house clean so I cannot not use my hands. Now it is in left hand and already had 2 shots but I now do not have insurance so I am stuck and will try some of these remedies.

Well here we go again. I found my 2012 post about trigger of the thumb I did finally go for the cortisone shot and it worked like a dream no new problems except now it is in the third finger from too much mouse and tool gripping (floral design) lots of pain more afraid of a shot there..trying the tape method.. dehydration probably causes all of these problems.. I am trying B-6, taping with blue tape splint at night, more water. I am grateful for all the posts here because each one is helpful thank you Earth Clinic anything to avoid surgery and shots but the cortisone shot at the base of the thumb really did the trick.. this is so common and painful my diet is even better than ever but something caused this..wonder if it's too much calcium? By the way the very best magnesium imo is Derma-Mag a topical liquid form that is absorbed thru the skin Highly recommended..These fish oils have vitamin E (soybean oil) as a preservative and very very allergic and dont want hormone disrupters which soy is

Hi Lisa,
Re the finger pain,
Have you tried DMSO? I've had two episodes with cyst formation in joint area at base of hand and finger and I diluted DMSO fifty-fifty with purified water (May have used colloidal silver)...and wrapped with white paper towel. Left as a poultice for thirty minutes. Cyst (or whatever it was disappeared). Also have used DMSO (capful) many times over twenty years if hands begin to get "tight" and a bit hard to grip. Works every time. I do this capful on fingers and joints once every three or four months now just as precaution.
Los Angeles, CA
Appreciate this forum and the shared wisdom. I have been trying to ignore the injury and recurrent situation affecting my thumb but will now vow to keep a bandage on for three months and see if that helps. It is nearly impossible not to use it. This article reminded me I cut a thumb off a glove to use as a bandage and have also wrapped a long strand of copper wire around my thumb like a knuckle ring because I heard copper helps circulation. Both these ideas helped keep it immobilized but I didn't quite realize how much it helped. I mention them incase anyone is interested in alternative band-aid ideas.

I have tried many approaches without success. I started the bandaid method two days ago and I think it is helping on my left middle finger. I am not sure about locating the tape. Seems that three quarter inch wide tape wrapped between base of finger and second joint from tip keeps it straight best. Is that right?
You want a neutral position. lay your hand on its side on a table...relaxed...there should be a slight arch to your palm and fingers. That's it! There are neoprene sheaths available at Walmart that can do this as well. from my experience this was helpful in the beginning of my food regime. The vitamins, reducing inflammation/ acidity, bromelain are more helpful!

Gayle You are so clever. I have trigger thumb as well and all in splints and driving me crazy. Did the band aid method and it feel so much better now. Thank you Gayle.
People with trigger thumbs try it, it works.

This is for Dave who recommended the DMSO.. here I am again from floral design clipper use with the nasty trigger finger! Got a cortisone shot because I couldn't stand it.. worked for two months .. back again.. I just applied magnesium Derma Mag (the best) topical and DMSO! In dark glass bottle only! And my pain is GONE I know it will return but for now GONE I am also taking serrate, Turmeric, someone suggested evening Primrose Oil and I will try essential oil which I don't know yet. I also tape the base of the thumb. Possibly too much calcium does cause this or two much protein from Protein drinks I am doing lately think also big thing is dehydration.. the Book The Water Cure states all disease is from lack of sufficient water.. No one is talking about having had the surgery and if it worked. If it works and you're done with this condition after wouldn't that make sense? However I always try natural methods and most work..
Thank you Dave for reminding me to use DMSO and magnesium Must do all the rest too and reduce acidity by taking PH balancers..

Hi everyone. Has anyone had a ganglion cyst or a hard "knot" in the hand prior to the trigger finger? If so what can be done nonsurgically for the gangion? My husband is having this problem and so does his father. The doctor just wants to keep doing surgery on my father-in-law. Thanks!
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Hi Sue, traditionally you hit the ganglion cyst with a huge book and it bursts. (the bible was the book of choice). I have done this and it goes down and sometimes comes back up so you just repeat the "cure", until it stays away. Hope this helps. Lily.
Acworth, Ga
I had a ganglion cyst on my right wrist for several months- it was right in the joint and you could only see it when my wrist was bent- very painful. The doctor drained it twice and it always came back- but each time he mentioned hitting it with a book. The last time it came back I had someone us a Very large hard cover book to smack it. It has been about 5 years and it has not come back yet.
Just be careful with the joint!
Tulsa, Ok
I had a ganglion cyst years ago, I took large dose daily of crystal "C". The pain stopped first, then the bump disappeared. A few years later, I was pressured to stop my "C" intake by my GYN, because I was pregnant... Mistake. The ganglion cyst returned, but disappeared after I started by crystal "C" again. Crystal "C" is a high dosage vitamin C. My daughter is now 18 years old, and the cyst has not returned.
Also I have been having trouble with my knuckles being swollen for months, when to a doctor who gave me to cortisone shots in one hand and said I had trigger finger. I don't have any clicking in any fingers so I think he is wrong and the shots only helped for a week, which also cost 600.00 for the visit. I am desperate for help. I have been taking pain pills for weeks that only help so much. Thanks for any help Pam

Hi Pam, If I were you I would research Turmeric and Boron. I can't explain why, or how they work, but there are some excellent articles on here re Turmeric, and on the web re Boron. They are both working for me. I used to wake in the morning feeling like someone had slammed my hand in a door... It is truly amazing to awaken to no pain in my hands. I literally lay in bed first thing in the morning just making fists in disbelief - it is still shocking. I take 1/4 tsp of turmeric a day in my tea with VCO (virgin coconut oil) and one 3mg boron (chelated - dont know if that matters or not) a day. I hope you find your answer! Carly

Have you tried anything from this site's Arthritis section here?:
Not mentioned under that section is Niacinamide, the amide form of Vitamin B3. (I'm assuming it's arthritis you have, since trigger finger is almost never accompanied by many swollen painful knuckle joints! )
Once again, to one of Dr. Pauling's legacy sites:
Click on "Search" in the molecule picture there. Type in "Niacinamide Kaufman arthritis" into the search query box.
This first one looks to be the best info and detail:
The Pioneering Work of William Kaufman: Arthritis and ADHD
From Page 3:
"The (more frequent) 250 mg dose of niacinamide is 40 to 50% more effective in the treatment of arthritis than the (less frequent) 500 mg. Dose. In my 1955 paper (The use of vitamin therapy to reverse certain concomitants of aging. J Amer Geriatric Soc. 3:927-936) I noted that niacinamide (alone or combined with other vitamins) in a thousand patient-years of use has caused no adverse side effects. Please keep in mind niacinamide is a systemic therapeutic agent. It measurably improves joint mobility, muscle strength, decreases fatiguability. It increases maximal muscle working capacity, reduces or completely eliminates arthritic joint pain. Some joints are so injured by the arthritic process that no amount of niacinamide therapy will cause improvement in joint mobility, ...
Interesting tidbit here:
Kaufmann was a very careful observer and showed clearly the significant therapeutic value of niacinamide. But 1949 was not the right year for such reports, for the wonder drug, cortisone, had just been found to rapidly relieve the symptoms of arthritis. Dr. Hench, who had done the basic work, received a Nobel prize and Merck and Company held the patents. There was a tremendous display of publicity about these wonder drugs and they became the standard for all the arthritides. The fact that cortisones do not help very much was discovered later in England when they were compared with aspirin in the first ever double blind experiments. Aspirin proved equally as effective. Also cortisone and ACTH made many patients psychotic. Dr. Kaufman's 1949 published book 'The Common Form of Joint Dysfunction' is even now still available in places on the net.
DOSAGE:Niacinamide is water soluble and has a half-life of 90 minutes I. E. The amount left unmetabolized in the body drops in half every 90 minutes. This explains the divided doses. That daily dosage is divided into equal doses for ingestion every 2-3 waking hours waking.
Usually adequate in moderate joint dysfunction was the continuous ingestion of 150 mg niacinamide administered every 3 hours for 6 daily doses (900 mg/24 hours). In extremely severe and severe grades of joint dysfunction, 100-150 mg niacinamide were prescribed every hour (1500-2250 mg/24 hours), every hour and a half (1110-1650 mg./24 hours), or every two hours (800-1200 mg/24 hours), depending on the severity of the joint dysfunction, the more frequent schedule being used in more severe cases (97) (51). It has been found in the treatment of joint dysfunction that the manner in which the daily dosage of niacinamide is divided has an important bearing on the the therapeutic results achieved; e. G. , 300 mg niacinamide given three times daily (900 mg/24 hours) is inferior in its therapeutic action to 150 mg niacinamide administered every 3 hours for 6 daily doses (900 mg/24 hours).

Thank you for this great site, I found it on searching for alternative cures for a trigger finger. I'm a scenar therapist and was treating a case of TF with only minimum results, your site will be very helpful I will also get to use it for other problems. HannaB
Juice Cleanse
I had trigger finger for a year. I went on a juice cleanse and it disappeared. Prior to the juice fast, I did a colon cleanse, then a kidney gal-bladder cleanse, I used organic fresh squeezed OJ for the juice cleanse, also taking a detox tincture. So it was about 5 weeks of cleansing....I feel totally great. My other arthritis symptoms have also disappeared. I lost 13 pounds during juice cleanse.
Ten Mile, Tn
HI U CHARLENE, , , , , , , , , , , , , you right on this one and for all health problems , a total cleanse is the start. What have you got to lose?
I thank you for bringing your experience forward. This health stuff is not magic...... it's just left , right , left, as you say. Most folks want a little magic with no effort. That's called 'Mericanism, something for nothing. It's the current fad.

Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
There is nothing better than the smell of freshly cleaned laundry. I'm obsessed with it. I use my washer frequently and never had any trouble with it. The lid is a soft clothes. My clothes always come out super clean. The cycles are a bit long, but i'm find with that as long as my clothes are nice a clean. There are many different setting for the heat of the water and the cycle of spinning so that I know my clothes will last with several washes. Overall, it's a great washer.

Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
My husband recently bought the machine without communicating about it. At first I was worried that it would break down frequently because of all of the features. After using it for about four months I like the features and haven't had any issues with it. For me I need a machine that simply works and does a good job of cleaning. Since I have two kids and pets, I simply can't have a broken washer.
Power Features:
I love that this machine turns off after each wash. I know it must be saving energy not to have the washer on at all times. Occasionally the machine will get stuck flashing end, I think this is because the load may be to heavy for it, or its slightly off balance. It doesn't happen to often and doesn't affect how it cleans. I like the end song because it is easy for me to hear across the house without it being loud and alarming.
Wash Cycle:
It cleans and does a good job of it with minimal water usage depending on the setting. I like how you pour the soap into the cups in the washer. The face of the cups may need to be wiped down from time to time if you tend to spill, but much easier to use than the normal soap dispenser cups.
Spin Cycle:
When we first started using this machine, we didn't have a dryer so I was carting all of the clothes in bags to the laundry mat. The Washer was able to get the clothes so they weren't heavy. It does hum a little when spinning, but not nearly as loud as some of the other washing machines that I've had.
Overall I would buy again.
Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
We just bought this machine a month ago after owning a front loader washing machine. We went with this machine because it was priced reasonably, as well as larger than most top loader machines. This machine holds a ton of clothes in a single load, and will easily hold a king sized comforter.
At first I loved the fact that it was so big, however my concern is that the limited amount of water that fills the machine doesn't seem to be enough to clean the amount of items in the machine. This machine does not have an agitator, and seems to just swish the clothes around.
I seem to wash all of the loads on the heavy soil setting, the water level is increased with this setting. My clothes seem cleaner, but the load cycle does take 74 minutes to complete. This washing machine has a quick cycle feature, but I feel my clothes do not come out as clean.
Ease of Use
This washing machine is very easy to use and the dials and buttons are clearly labeled. I do like the different sounds the machine makes when starting and finishing a load.
The top loader feature is great, you can leave the top open so the machine fully dries and does not have the smell that front loader washers tend to have.
Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
My Samsung washer was purchased about a year ago, and so far, it is still as good as new. I love its large size and ability to wash large loads easily. This top loader has all of the standard features, and yet it is so easy to understand! The operation is quiet too, and I have stopped getting so many wrinkles in the clothing.
Energy Efficiency
This top loader uses only the exact and necessary amount of water to wash my loads, so it doesn't waste any of my money! It also somehow dries my clothes during the process. And combining that with the machine's extreme efficiency, I STILL have a lower electricity and water bill!
Cleaning Time
I have no complaints with the nice song the washer plays out when it is done cleaning, and love that I can choose to place my loads on the quick cycle.
All I have to do is pour in bleach and decide my settings, and presto! I'm set to go. I couldn't ask for a better washer.
Ease of Use
The washer can accommodate various washing needs with different temperature settings, and can effectively wash and rinse large loads smoothly and with the minimum amount of noise.
It is a bit hard to reach the occasional loose cloth lying at the bottom of the washer, but it always is, so I guess its just normal. Otherwise, I love the large size and the color.
The few usual errors I've had with my washer have all been fixed with quick and easy maintenance. I expect with good care, my washer will last me for another decade or so.

Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
I LOVE doing laundry in this machine. It doesn't have a center agitator, so its large capacity allows me to wash TONS of bedding at once. It has so many settings (and it's sensors are smart enough to determine some of those - like water level - on its own). I can wash a load really quick in 30 minutes if I need to, or get a nice long wash for over an hour. When the spin level is on high, it can be a bit loud. Our laundry room isn't removed - it's right off the kitchen so you can hear it going. The entire cycle is really quiet, just the spin on high speed is noticeable.
Energy Efficiency
This is an energy star product, so it's as efficient as you can get. It's also great because it determines how much water you need as not to waste it. The water settings include hot, warm, cold AND eco warm. It spins the clothes out well, so they are already really dry when I take them out, saving money on the dryer.
Cleaning Time
There are tons of settings to allow you any amount of time - really quick to a deep cleaning load. The only reason it doesn't get a 10 is because the presoak button only adds about 15 minutes onto the wash time. I prefer longer sometimes, but you can always pause the machine if you need to.
Ease of Use
The settings are easy to use and the names of the labels are helpful.
I really like the chamber for detergent and softener. It has a pan for liquid, or you take it out for powder.
We are happy so far. Being that it's a pretty new model, we just bought it this year. But reading up on the similar models before, this kind lasts a long time.
Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
Love this washer. I can wash a whole weeks laundry all at once. Just separate the colors from whites. Select your settings, add your detergent and any other additives (bleach, softener), push start and wait for the chimes to tell you it's done. Got it for a great price and used a 10% off movers coupon. At first the settings look overwhelming, but they really aren't difficult to master. You can even set your own settings and have it saved.
Energy Efficiency
It somehow figures out how much water it needs.
Cleaning Time
It takes a little longer than the old washers, but 1 load versus 3 you still save time.
Have not had an issue with performance. All my clothes have come out clean.
Ease of Use
You tell it what you are washing on the dial and it does the rest. You can change temperature setting if you choose to by pushing the button.
It has a deep drum but that's no problem for me at 5 10.
Haven't had it long enough to fairly rate the durability.
Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
This washer is a great machine that does the job well. I like that it can fit a very large load easily (even large quilts and bedspreads) so I don't have to divide large loads. Of course, this saves me in water and energy usage so I'm all for it. A little complicated for me to learn how to use the electronic panels and controls but once you get used to it, you'll love it.
Energy Efficiency
The washer is marketed as an energy efficient machine. I have reduced significantly the amount of loads I need to wash my family's clothes so I have seen the savings in the electricity and water bills.
Cleaning Time
The machine seems to take a little longer in washing a load because it first takes some time to determine the amount of water it will use for the load. Once the machine finished washing a load, it has a song that alerts you it finished.
So far, the machine has performed as advertised.
Ease of Use
At first, it may be a little hard for the technologically challenged (like me) to get a handle on how the machine works. The control panel can be a little intimidating but it is easy to learn.
Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
I love my samsung top loader. It is quiet and quick and has all of the options I need.
Energy Efficiency
It takes so much less time than my old washer used to take using less energy.
Cleaning Time
I love how quick this washer is compared to my old one. The quick was is one of my favorite features too and it definitely does the job to get a small batch of clothes cleaned quickly!
I think the washers without agitators leave something to be desired as far as size of loads you can do and cleanliness of clothes if you happen to load it a little too full.
Ease of Use
It was so easy to pick up on the buttons and functions of this washer. There is nothing difficult about what to do or how to use this. All of the buttons are clearly marked too and even without reading instructions it would be easy to figure out how to do a load correctly.
I love how pretty this machine is. I am short so sometimes it is hard for me to get down in there to the last piece of laundry, but that is just because of my height.
Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
This Samsung washing machine is a large capacity mean- clean washing machine. It automatically determines the amount of clothing in the machine before it sets the amount of time that will be needed to complete your specific settings. What more could I ask for!
Energy Efficiency
My electric bill has been lower now that I have my Samsung washer! This includes my daughter and my grandson coming over occasionally to wash clothes too!
Cleaning Time
I usually wash my clothing on the quick cycle . I never need more then 40 minutes, for a large load of clothing. I have been pleased with all of the clothes that I've washed in the last nine months since I purchased the washer.
I am absolutely thrilled with the overall performance of my Samsung washer. I am happier with the white clothing when I add bleach and increase the water temperature to warm rather then eco warm. I usually wash most of my clothes in cold water or eco warm. My clothing are always bright and fresh looking.
Ease of Use
1.Put the clothes in. 2. Pour detergent ,softener and bleach ( if needed ) into appropriate containers. 3. Press Power button. 4. Press Start button. It's that easy.
The design is perfect for weekly family clothes washing chores.
I am assuming my Samsung Washer will last at least 10-12 years. I did buy the extended warranty to insure my investment.
Comments about Samsung Top Load Washing Machine:
We replaced our 6+ year old Whirlpool Calypso after a year of taking the drain pump off every couple of months. THIS WASHER IS AWESOME! Although it's tough for a 5'3" person to reach the bottom of tub.
Energy Efficiency
Super efficient! Can wash twice as many clothes as our old one!
Ease of Use
It's not easy for a short person to reach the bottom to get clothes out!
I LOVE that I can watch the clothes wash because of the clear top

"There was Jeff at the head of the table. Beautiful china. All of a sudden, ding, ding, ding. . . He had on a top hat — I swear. He took it off and said, 'Gentlemen.' He passed the hat around, and people filled it with checks."
— A political consultant (speaking on the condition of anonymity, what with that pesky federal probe) about Jeffrey Thompson, in Nikita Stewart's investigative report on the flamboyant rags-to-riches D.C. businessman implicated in underwriting an illegal shadow campaign for Mayor Vincent Gray. Did you know he used to date former Labor Secretary Alexis Herman? And refer to himself, in the third person, as "The Governor"? "If you didn't know him," another associate told Stewart, "you would think it was egomaniacal." He's like a character from a novel, so go read the whole thing: The Governor of D.C.; the rise of Jeffrey E. Thompson and the fall that has rattled District politics.

I have one computer giving me a reading that it is offline but it is on, it is running and it is fully functional.
If I disable Macafee's firewall the computer shows up as online on SW and it can be pinged. I thought I have opened all my ports on the firewall but maybe I'm missing one?
It would be really helpful if someone could post the ports that are needed for communication.

i got it, there was a check box in mcafee to allow for icmp ping requests, thanks for the help everyone.

1st Post
look at the settings of internet explorer, most likely a network problem happened and the"work offline" became checked.
In the file menu look for "work offline" or in the tool bar menu look there.
Or another possibility can be here

Data is right, in Macafee permit ICMP echo requests and it should stay showing as online.
Michael, this is the system in the inventory showing as offline not the PC working in offline mode.
Aug 9, 2011 at 11:22 UTC
I turned on all of these ports with the exception of ICMP, mcafee doesn't have a setting for that. Does anyone know how to help?
Aug 9, 2011 at 11:24 UTC
what version of AV are you using?

"giving me a reading that it is offline but it is on"
What exactly do you mean by this? The browser on the PC is showing your are offline?
Aug 10, 2011 at 2:56 UTC
SW is saying my device is offline, and I cannot ping it. But the computer is on, connected to the internet and I can even remote desktop in.
Aug 10, 2011 at 2:57 UTC
I'm using the most up to date mcafee.

Brittany Cervantes Re-Signs With Chicago Bandits
CHICAGO, Ill. – Brittany Cervantes, an all-time great Kentucky softball alumna, re-signed with the Chicago Bandits of the National Professional Fastpitch Association to a one-year contract extension, it was announced on Wednesday. The announcement came after being named the 2015 NPF Offensive Player of the Year.
During her time with the Bandits, Cervantes has been called up on to play multiple positions in both the infield and outfield before becoming the everyday first basemen in 2014. Cervantes began last season at first base before eventually finishing the season splitting time as the team's right fielder and designated player.
"Cerv had one of the most impressive offensive seasons in NPF history and we're beyond excited to have her back in a Bandits uniform for her fifth season," said Bandits GM Aaron M. Moore. "She began her career as an undrafted free agent and has continued to work extremely hard on her game to become the league's offensive player of the year.
"Our lineup continues to evolve and take shape with the addition of Brittany. She provides some big-time pop and protection for the speed in our lineup."
The Newhall, Calif. native enjoyed her finest professional season to date in 2015 as she set career highs in batting average (.358), runs scored (26), hits (38), doubles (6), slugging percentage (.670) and on-base percentage (.507). Her numbers at the plate earned her Offensive Player of the Year honors at the annual NPF Awards Banquet.
"I want to thank Bill and Aaron for continuing to give me the opportunity to play," said Cervantes. "Last summer was one I will never forget and I can't wait to get back out there and compete for another championship with my family in orange and black."
For her career, Cervantes has slugged 29 homeruns and driven in 88. She also owns a career batting average of .265.
Cervantes, 25, recently signed with Team Toda of the Japan Softball League. She will play overseas before returning to the Bandits this summer.
Parts of this release were taken from the Chicago Bandits media relations office.

text: for those in metro detroit there was an interesting article on torre and brugulio and contract corruption at metro airport. now if i recall there was a similar ordeal with i belive the city of warren dealing with the city's grounds contracts. from what i remember the owner of torre and brugulio made contrabutions to a city officals re-election fund which made the company inelegable. dont get me wrong torre has a stellar operation and you honestly cannot go one single day without seeing one of there big red truck's and 20' trailers. but this could be a new begining for alot of us. so all the commercial properties that tell you yeah they have been doing it for 10 years and you dont have shot may soon open there doors to new oppertunity. yes i'm probly just getting overwelmed with the idea that someday i will operate a large commercial firm, but this may be the shot in the dark were looking for. thanks, greenstar commercial groundskeeping


text: Look familiar? Well, they should because these tablets had a launch of sorts way back in April but since then all has been quiet on the Sony tablet front. That's all changed today, with a new name and a shelf date for the much-anticipated devices, now called the Tablet S and Tablet P.No, we're sure about the new names either, which sound more like developments names than the previous S1 and S2 monikers. Maybe we'll get used to them. Anyway, just to be clear, the Tablet S is the larger 9.4-inch device (formerly the S1), while the dual-screened 5.5-inch S2 is now called the Tablet P. Got that? Good.They look very different, that's for sure, but features aren't a million miles apart, aside from the size of course. Both use a Nvidia Tegra 2 mobile processor, Android Honeycomb (Wi-Fi-only models with 3.1 with an upgrade to Android 3.2 later, 3G models with 3.2), front- and rear-facing cameras, a USB 2.0 port and SD card slot. Both also use Sony's TruBlack technology, which controls the refraction of light between the LCD and the screen, effectively allowing you to use it in bright sunlight (not always the case). You'll also find a keyboard optimised for the tablet's screen, plus compatibility for Sony's Qriocity music and video services, not to mention the PlayStation Suite. You can even use the tablets as universal remotes with Sony's BRAVIA devices too, which is likely to impress your mates.So all that's left is that all-important shelf date and price information. We can sort of help with that. According to TechRadar, both devices will arrive in Wi-Fi form from the end of September 2011. A Wi-Fi and 3G version of Tablet S will be released in November 2011 as well. Pricing has only been announced for the US so far, starting from $479 for the Tablet S and $599 for Tablet P. That's £293 and £367 respectively, but we know that's unlikely to be the UK pricing. Still, we live in hope.

Punjab are armoured with a strong batting line-up and a decent bowling attack, and gave ample evidence of their batting prowess when they notched tournament's highest score against Orissa in their last league match.
Performance of left-handed Yuvraj Singh, who has sound has touch, in the last game will be once again viewed with great interest as he definitely holds the key to Punjab's fortunes in the summit round.
VRV Singh will spearhead the Punjab bowling attack, which has good variety in the form of left-arm seamer Amit Uniyal, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, apart from the handy left-arm spin of Dinesh Mongia.
Punjab's only defeat in the league phase came unexpectedly against Gujarat before making the grade after their wins against Railways and Karnataka.
South Zone winners Tamil Nadu qualified for the summit round in an identical fashion in Group B, played in Ahmedabad.
Tamil Nadu (12 points), who defeated Madhya Pradesh in their concluding match, ended with the same number of wins as Mumbai.
B Mahesh, Dinesh Karthik V Sivaramkrishnan hold key for TN in batting while left-arm spinner Ashwin and Jesu Babu in bowling department.
However, Tamil Nadu edged out the Ranji champions for the final berth having defeated them in their opening match of the league.


text: Elan Corporation, plc (NYSE: ELN) and Transition Therapeutics, Inc (TSX: TTH, NASDAQ:TTHI) today announced the results of a Phase 2 placebo-controlled study in 351 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease who received study drug for up to 18 months (Study AD201). Study subjects with MMSE scores between 16 and 26 received ELND005 oral doses of 250 mg, 1000 mg or 2000 mg twice daily or matching placebo. The study's cognitive (NTB) and functional (ADCS-ADL) co – primary endpoints did not achieve statistical significance. The 250mg twice daily dose demonstrated a biological effect on amyloid-beta protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), in a subgroup of patients who provided CSF samples. This dose achieved targeted drug levels in the CSF, and showed some effects on clinical endpoints in an exploratory analysis. After reviewing the final safety data with the study's independent safety monitoring committee (ISMC), we concluded that the 250mg twice daily dose has acceptable safety and tolerability. Elan and Transition Therapeutics intend to share the Phase 2 data in a peer-reviewed publication. The 2 high dose groups were electively discontinued by the companies in December 2009 due to an observed imbalance of serious adverse events, including deaths; no causal relationship between the drug and the deaths could be determined. After discontinuation of the 2 high dose groups the final analysis was based on subjects who received either 250mg twice daily or placebo for up to 18 months. Based on the preponderance of evidence from both biomarker and clinical data, and after extensive discussions with experts in the field, Elan and Transition Therapeutics intend to advance ELND005 into Phase 3 development. Specifics of the Phase 3 study design will be finalized after receiving input and concurrence from regulatory authorities. Elan and Transition Therapeutics have agreed to work together to systematically explore all strategic, operational, and global options for the asset with the intent of maximizing the value of this innovative potential therapeutic. No timetable for completing the exploration has been set. No further disclosure is intended until its completion.
