Wagner practically single-handedly created the professional wrestling culture of today. As his theatrics grew, professional wrestling burst onto the pop culture scene, going from a niche live entertainment event to a wildly popular television draw. Audiences loved to tune in and see Wagner's preening, strutting entrance to the ring.
Wagner had influence beyond the wrestling world – a young Muhammad Ali was inspired by his highly effective trash talk. He received some personal advice from Wagner that he stuck with later in his career: "A lot of people will pay to see someone shut your mouth. So keep on bragging, keep on sassing and always be outrageous." James Brown also modeled his career in part on Wagner's, though he was inspired by the wrestler's outrageous style and antics rather than his villainy. Studying Wagner, Brown said, helped "create the James Brown you see on stage." Gorgeous George would have turned 97 today. He retired from wrestling in 1960, just three years before his death, but the reverberations of his career can still be felt – in pro wrestling and beyond.

And yet ...
With this set of four clear directions--the painted arrow on the pavement, the direction of the parked vehicles, the Exit sign, and the Do Not Enter sign--I've still seen a vehicle or two turn into this side of Elephant's parking lot. After work, I walk down the sidewalk once I get off the bus in front of the Goodwill on West Burnside.

Reminds me of an ice sculpture display this past Christmas, put up by the city. It was clearly marked on both sides "do not enter." When we got there, parents were posing their little kids at the display to take pictures, then walking around inside the display themselves. I used my camera to get a video clip and am still debating posting it on youtube!
The rules apply to everyone else, it seems.

Title 14 published on 2013-01-01
The following are only the Rules published in the Federal Register after the published date of Title 14.
For a complete list of all Rules, Proposed Rules, and Notices view the Rulemaking tab.
Title 14 published on 2013-01-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 14 CFR 29 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-13800 RIN Docket No. FAA-2013-0502 Special Conditions No. 29-030-SC DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Final special conditions; request for comments. The effective date of these special conditions is June 3, 2013. We must receive your comments by July 29, 2013. 14 CFR Part 29 These special conditions are issued for the Eurocopter France Model EC175B helicopter. This model helicopter will have the novel or unusual design feature of a 30-minute power rating, generally intended to be used for hovering at increased power for search and rescue missions. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-13454 RIN 2120-AJ94 Docket No. FAA-2013-0485 Notice No. 1209 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Send comments on or before September 9, 2013. 14 CFR Parts 1, 23, 25, 27, 29, 61, 91, 121, 125, and 135 The FAA is proposing to permit operators to use an Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) in lieu of natural vision to continue descending from 100 feet above the touchdown zone elevation to the runway and land on certain straight-in instrument approach procedures under instrument flight rules (IFR). This proposal would also permit certain operators using EFVS-equipped aircraft to dispatch, release, or takeoff under IFR, and to initiate and continue an approach, when the destination airport weather is below authorized visibility minimums for the runway of intended landing. Under this proposal, pilot training, recent flight experience, and proficiency would be required for operators who use EFVS in lieu of natural vision to descend below decision altitude, decision height, or minimum descent altitude. EFVS-equipped aircraft conducting operations to touchdown and rollout would be required to meet additional airworthiness requirements. This proposal would also revise pilot compartment view certification requirements for vision systems using a transparent display surface located in the pilot's outside view. The proposal would take advantage of advanced vision capabilities thereby achieving the NextGen goals of increasing access, efficiency, and throughput at many airports when low visibility is the limiting factor. Additionally, it would enable EFVS operations in reduced visibilities on a greater number of approach procedure types while maintaining an equivalent level of safety.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-03709 RIN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Request for comments. Send your comments to reach us on or before May 23, 2013. 14 CFR Parts 27 and 29 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requesting comments and information on the public's interest in restructuring the rotorcraft airworthiness standards of normal category rotorcraft and transport category rotorcraft. Specifically, the agency is seeking comments on whether to change the existing applicability standards for maximum weight and number of passenger seats for either or both types of rotorcraft, or whether to consider other approaches for determining applicability. The FAA is soliciting public input because of some rotorcraft community interest in increasing the 7,000 pound maximum weight limit for the modern normal category rotorcraft and because there may be recommendations for new approaches to make the rotorcraft airworthiness standards more efficient and adaptable to future technology. This action is part of an effort to develop recommendations for possible FAA rulemaking action.

DETROIT (AP) -- Thousands of union supporters have marched through downtown Detroit as part of a Labor Day celebration that includes an address by Vice President Joe Biden.
The annual Metro Detroit AFL-CIO Labor Day parade started under sunny skies Monday morning, followed by a rally featuring Biden. His speech will be only the latest of several he's given in Michigan this summer.
Biden addressed the American Federation of Teachers' national convention in Detroit on July 29 and spoke at a rally at Detroit Renaissance High School on Aug. 22 during a Michigan stop that also included fundraising events.
The Labor Day appearance comes ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
President Barack Obama appeared at Detroit's Labor Day parade in 2011.

Online Reservations
The restaurant serves rustic Italian food and was different than most Italian restuarants we go to. We enjoyed the food.
Great food service and wine list. Nikolai, Walter and Efrin were fantastic. Thank you
Food was impeccable, the service was top notch, and the fresh pastas were exquisite.
Went to Bibiana for restaurant week with a large group. Our group arrived at various times and they were very accommodating and not snooty about it at all. The service overall was outstanding, they were very attentive. My food selection was great - a giant meatball, delicious skate that was both tender and slightly crispy with a flavorful underbed of eggplant, olives and red peppers, and the a chocolate mousse with peppermint called the semifreddo. I had friends who got the cod which was meh, and some got pasta which they thought was good but not great. Personally I don't know why someone would get pasta during restaurant week but hey your choice, right? Point of caution is that the food is well-saturated with salt and cream.
I love this restaurant! Always a favorite...arancini and bucatini...genovese was especially good this visit
Everything was delicious and service exceptional. The pasta was divine, caprese tasty and desserts wonderful. This was a great dining experience.
Great place to eat. Food was very flavorful. Had the Tomatoe and basil dish and they went brought us more slices of their fresh tomatoe because there were that good.
We love Bibiana because so many of the dishes they offer bring us back to previous trips we have taken in Italy - and all over Italy. From the Sicilian arancini to risotto Milanese, these dishes perfectly reflect the various regional cuisines. And the service is as good as the food. It is always nice to be in the hands of servers who understand the menu. And even during Washington Restaurant Week when the restaurant was packed, the quality of the food and service remained consistent.
Oh, what job the tomatoe and mozzarelle appetizer was to taste. (I would have taken some home.)The stuffed calamaris are only for those who love it. The frozen chocolate mousse was to die for The staff was like family. (One mix up with one order, but other than that, a lovely time. I found it interesting there was no salt or pepper on the table. The service was quick. The friendly atmosphere added to our enjoyment of the meal. It was clean, open, and accomandating. (Made reservations and was running later, so call and was told no problem.) Portions are small, but with an appetizer and dessert, I left very well satisfied. I would definitely come back again and soon.
Bibiana had AMAZING customer service and food. We came for DC restaurant week but, we will back in a couple of weeks.
We went to Bibiana for lunch for Restaurant Week. Unlike the vast majority of restaurants participating in Restaurant Week, the menu choices for Bibiana were extensive - 6 or 7 for first and second choice, 5 for dessert. The other distinguishing feature of their menu was the numerous choices available for vegetarians. We loved all of our food, including the bread. You can certainly taste quality and care!
Food was very tasteful, portions good for an average eater. Service was prompt, polite, and not overbearing.
A friend and I went to Bibiana for Restaurant Week dinner. The food was delicious, and the service was absolutely top notch. The servers did not make us feel rushed, though the restaurant was definitely packed. I would highly recommend Bibiana to friends.
Great service - very very attentive. Never an unfolded napkin or empty glass. Good choice of options on the RW menu. Meatball is very tasty. Tiramisu was great and light. Pasta is all freshly made as are the accompanying sauce. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend.
I went to Bibiana with a friend for dinner during restaurant week. The waiter was extremely friendly and able to answer any questions on the menu. I normally would not be able to afford a dinner here, but restaurant week provided a nice introduction to what the Bibiana has to offer. But it would be a nice place to celebrate a special occasion. The food came out quickly after we ordered and staff was quick to take empty plates away. The only gripe about the restaurant is a lot of waitstaff stopped by to see if I was finished with my food or if we needed anything else. In the beginning it was great, but towards the middle of the meal it started to interrupt our conversation, which detracted from the ambiance.
Bibiana, with Nick at the helm, is just a superb Italian spot. One of the top 3 in the city for that cuisine. His food is cooked from the heart and it shows in the choices and the spectacular results. Add in how awesome a guy Nick is with his guests, and it's is one of the places in DC for a special meal.
Dined at Bibiana for the first time during restaurant week. What a find! Great service by all. Food was excellent. According to our server, much of what we ordered isn't on the normal menu. Look forward to returning to explore new dishes. Nice dining room-- welcoming to casual diners to those looking for a special night out. Recommended.
We went to Bibiana as part of restaurant week with another couple on a Saturday night. The restaurant was quite noisy inside due to the large number of people who had turned out that evening. When we checked in the head waiter asked if we would like to dine outside as it was a beautiful night. We decided to do just that, and once the wait staff was apprised that there were patrons outside, we had great service and ambiance. There were quite a few choices for each of the three courses on the special menu. Everyone in the party was very satisfied with the taste and quality of the dishes. I predict we will return to this restaurant to sample their normal menu.
Enjoyed the experience. Extremely attentive service. Selections were very tasty. Portions were small, but understandable given the Restaurant Week deal. Wine recommendation was spot-on.
They had a great selection for their restaurant week menu. My only complaint is to avoid the seating near the door. Because of spacing issues you may have to sit beside the person you're having dinner with instead of across the table.
Went to Bibiana for our 20th Anniversary and found that this was during the extension of restaurant week. So the cost was especially reasonable. Food was terrific and service was wonderful. The waiter's recommendations were right on the mark, and he helped me find a delicious wine by the glass. Portions were ample. However, sometimes the food comes out fast; so if you want to linger over the meal, you should probably advise your waiter in advance. Overall, a very good dining experience. If you want a place for a special occasion, this spot should go on your list.
WOW!! We were very well treated. Our food was outstanding, service superb, a wonderful evening. If you like squid do not leave without ordering the seared stuffed calamari. It is incredible. Deserts were magnificent.
The nothern Italian food is quite authentic--my granddad owned 3 Italian restaurants in NYC and he'd be happy to eat here.
From the moment the charming and super friendly maiter'd greeted me at Bibiana, it was a great experience. He generously allowed us to drink at the bar first and did not rush us to our reserved table. Once we did eat, the food and service were amazing. We got the fried artichokes as an appetizer. Who knew that fried parsley (served with it) could taste so good? We also got the ricotta with a fruit sauce as another appetizer; also yummy. We both inhaled the delicious rigatoni with eggplant for the main course. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. I eat out all the time and, I must say, this was truly one of the best experiences I have had in a long time due to the impeccable service and amazing food!
Invited friends from New York. The staff was very welcoming. We were able to talk to each other without shouting. The servers explained all specials in a knowledgeable manner. We were able to dine. We were never rushed. All of us enjoyed our meal
We were delighted with the diversity of the menu and with the nice touch of being able to order half-plates of the pasta dishes.
Loved the big list of Salumi course options. And I love that they'll do half portions of pasta so I can try more things!
Loved the brodetto - a great addition to the menu! Risotto with black truffle was thoroughly enjoyed by my wife. Thanks!
I'm currently on a 21-day cleanse but I did not want to skip a dinner with friends. I was a little worried about finding something on the menu that would meet all the restrictions I have to observe right now. I mentioned my needs to my server. The chef was happy to alter a dish so it would be within my needs and, thank goodness, the meal was still well-seasoned and delicious. My whole party enjoyed the dinner -- service was on the spot and everything tasted great.
The food here is top notch. If you're looking for great, moderately priced Italian in the District, Bibiana would be near the top of my list. The spaghetti neri are fantastic and were cooked to perfection.
We really enjoyed our evening. The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything was great!
The food and the service are outstanding. The prices are very reasonable considering what you get from this wonderful restaurant! This was my second visit to Bibiana (the first was for business and this was with my family) and it definitely will not be my last.
Had a dinner meeting here. Very impressive décor; I had the steak entrée that was sublime, tasted wood-smoked/grilled...I am getting hungry describing it! The sides are amazing...Had half a clam linguine to start. Even the The wines were not familiar; didn't think the selection was robust enough. Dinner was on the pricey side. $100/head with wine.
First class dining. Food was very flavorful and of high quality. Among the best in its price range...expensive. But worth it.
As good as expected Bibiana was recommended to me by a foodie so I had high expectations--it exceeded them on all fronts. The food was excellent--wine list was extensive and had some good values. Service was attentive but not over bearing.
We had dinner at Bibiana and the wonderful. Stuffed fresh figs were great as was the beet salad. The Pork shoulder stuffed with cheese and wrapped with prosciutto was delicious, the but the pasta with neopolitan ragu was the standout -- tender pasta with an amazing sauce. A bit longer than expected gap between appetizers and main course
The food was outstanding, definitely not your run of the mill Italian cuisine, and a very robust wine list. The entrees varied from pasta to their superb Chilean sea bass. The only issue at the restaurant is the service, if people are spending easily $100+ for a meal per person i'd expect the servers to be more attentive as you see at Capital Grille. All in all a great experience and a gem for DC thats worth checking out for a night out.
prix fixe lunch menu was very appealing and reasonable. good choices, even for a vegetarian.
Great food, very good service but small table for a party of four made it less than comfortable.
Would have been perfect if not for the noise level.
Met a co-worker for dinner at Bibiana, and my expectations were exceeded as usual. Every course of the tasting menu was thoughtfully conceived and prepared with great care to faithfully represent the cuisine of Emilia-Romagna, the spotlighted region of Italy. Wine pairings suggested were impressive and well-priced, cocktails were bold, and the coffee strong and soothing. Service was attentive and punctual without being overly effusive.
Excellent food, well presented, well served. Good advice from waiter.
My family is Italian and I can be picky about Italian restaurants. Your menu was great and my friends and I had a fun night out with great, authentic food that we may as well have gotten in Italy. Thank you!
My boyfriend and I took some family members out here for a special occasion meal, and we had a lovely time. Delicious food, romantic ambience, and excellent, thoughtful, attentive service. The service really made the experience for me -- I felt very well taken care of, and I would happily come back here any time.
Everything the 4 of us ordered was great! Best Italian food we have had in a long time. Service and atmosphere were also tremendous.
I will suggest this place to anyone who loves Italian cuisine. Try their barruta cheese.
Great Thanksgiving at Bibiana. Amazing service made the day memorable. Cant wait to go back to try the rest of the offerings
The restaurant was eerily quiet for thanksgiving. Only 4 tables were being used so I think we all felt a little self conscious. Good food, polite but indifferent service.
Bibiana was recommended to me by my Executive Chef, who's wife happens to be Italian. The food and service were amazing. I had a great time. The wine list was incredible! I recommend this place for quiet night out and anniversary.
Unfortunately we went to Bibiana when we had only an hour for our meal. Big mistake. It deserves a much more leisurely approach. Even so, the food was marvelous and the wine list staggering and the service wonderful until the end. We had made a big deal about our having to leave in an hour which our server remarked on quite a bit. He was great about getting all our food/drinks to us quickly but then left us sitting for quite a while after the dishes had been cleared without bringing us our bil--making the end of the meal much more harried and stressful than it needed to be. Even so, we'll be back.

How Does It Compare Against The Standard K702?
Pros: signature, build, comfort, value
Cons: detail, soundstage, sparse packaging and extras considering it's a limited edition
Build Quality
These are built very much the same as the previous K701, K702, and Q701. Lots of rugged plastic, a leather headband, and velour pad. The removable cable seems to be slightly less thick than the previous iterations. Although I wouldn't be throwing these things around or using them outside, the combination of materials and assembly quality make for a very well built can. The only thing I have a problem with the elastic bands used to supply the tension and adjustability of the headband. As with all previous models, these will eventually become loose and frail and will need to be replaced down the line.
These are the same comfortable headphones as any of...

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Tips for caregivers facing painful decisions
By Angela Lunde
52 comments posted
I'm so pleased to read your posts and see how much caring, understanding, and unconditional support penetrates through this online community of friends.
I want to make a quick plug for any of you who can make a trip to St. Paul. Mayo Clinic and the Alzheimer's Association will host a conference called "Meeting of the Minds" on Saturday, March 19.
The conference for families and friends of those with dementia, healthcare professionals, as well as persons with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia is one of the largest in the country.
A link to the brochure and on-line registration can be found in the Resources tab above. If any of you do attend, please introduce yourself to me. What a treat it would be to meet you face to face!
A couple weeks ago, Richard and Dan posted on the blog. They each spoke about the painful decision they recently made to move their wife to a care facility. In their own way, they each wrote about how they've found peace within themselves to not only accept the reality of this progressive disease, but to humbly accept their limitations as a caregiver. As Dan shared, "When it gets too much ... you have to give in to get the best for the affected. Now I will be able to visit, and (truly) enjoy the time."
And then there is Andrea, who is caring for her mom at home. She seems well aware of the sacrifices she's taking on in so many ways. Yet, she continues the journey and finds a small sense of renewal when she and her mom share a laugh — a reminder that there is still a connection.
Similar to the decision to use medications in dementia, the decision to care for someone at home or move them to a care facility is incredibly personal — neither choice fits every situation. For some, there's no choice. But one thing's generally true; caregivers endure painful decisions and feel guilty no matter what.
Whether you're caring for someone at home, or have moved them to a care facility, here are 5 simple messages that may serve you from time to time:
- Learn to separate what you can and can't control — many things are simply out of your hands.
- Do all you can and then let it go.
- Make a decision and don't look back — believe you made the best decision you could at the time.
- Forgive yourself.
- Remember, we feel guilty because we love.
"Care-providing presents us with the challenge of a lifetime, and the hardest task many of us will ever face. But the extraordinary circumstances in which it places us are also opportunities to open up new frontiers in human development and understanding."
— Lela Knox Shanks, author of "Your Name is Hughes Hannibal Shanks — A Caregiver's Guide to Alzheimer's"

My dad is in the last stages of Alzheimer's and is basically starving to death - he hasn't anything to eat and very little to drink for 1 week today and is barely with us. We do not know whether to put in a feeding tube at this point - some care personel state at this point the body would reject it but how do you stand by and watch someone starving. Just wondering if anyone else has faced this in the end of life of this terrible disease.

My Mother is 82 and has had AD for about 10 years. My father passed away in 1995. I have 4 siblings and 3 of us live close to Mom. She currently lives in a memory care center, which she seems to like. She is happy when we visit her and appears well cared for. When it was apparent that Mom needed help before she moved, first to an assisted living, we talked about caring for her in one of our homes. We all have families and active lives and mom wanted her independence. After much discussion and praying we decided to try a local memory care unit and have been happy with our choice. Caregivers, remember when caregiving, you need to first take care of yourself so you are able to care for your loved one. (Like giving yourself the oxygen first on the airplane) Putting Mom into the Memory care unit was hard on her and us. We visit her almost daily, I am two minutes away, and her local grandchildren stop in occasionally also. Mom appears content, and happy. We pray this continues for her. At this time she knows our faces and sometimes our names, still is able to eat most food, walks unaided and will even try to dance if she hears a waltz or polka. I also pray for her caregivers that they have patience and love for my mother and all her friends at their home. DD

My husband has been on this journey for approximately nine years. We have been together for 22 years. He goes to a day program and I care for him after work and all other times. A few months ago , I had to attend a business meeting out of town. I took my husband to a residential facility. I was devastated and cried constantly. I felt that I was not living up to my "end of the bargain" as a wife. Is there anyway or at anytime, that this guilt goes away ? My husband is entering a stage where he no longer can do anything for/by himself. It is taking a tole on me and my work. At what point is it "ok" to say, I just cannot do this anymore ??

My wife lives at home, has moderate Alzheimers. She goes to day care at a residential memory facility three days per week for about six hours at a time. I provide all other care and take care of all household needs. She is getting progressively worse, often forgets who I am or where we live. Most other memory is muddled and there is no short term memory. Unless she is at the day care facility she has little interest in doing things or being engaged in any activity. Our daughter lives out of state but traveling to see her is a huge challenge due to my wife's confusion, etc. I feel I am dealing with the situation, but at a price which is having my own life. I think she is getting close to being better off in a residential facility and I better off as well. I need some help in understanding when that becomes the right decision for both my wife and me.

My Mother has had Alzheimer's for eight years. She still knows immediate family but has very limited short term memory. She lives with my Father in a memory care assisted living apartment. Dad is quite sick and we expect him to die very soon. I would appreciate any thoughts or experiences about how to best deal with the situation. Do we tell Mother and if so how? Do we take her to his funeral?

Thanks MC for giving us a "place" where we can share our experiences. My sisters and I took the decision to put our father in a home care facility, and at the beginning he was reluctant to stay, or thought it was in "his home" and wanted all the caregivers to leave "his home". He went through several medications to control his anxiety and agressiveness as other people suffered aggressions from my dad (a 75yr old in VERY good health). He's quite calmed now, but if we take him on a family day out (ex: Father's Day), when it comes to leave him at his new "home" he recognizes that isn't his real home. It makes me real sad, but I've managed to put his safety FIRST when it comes to "feeling guilty"!!! God bless you all who are making decisions for your loved ones!!

Thank you for your wise councel. We just moved my Dad into a care facility. He is very agitated and wanders at night in the home. He tells them that the Health care people made a mistake and he needs to go home. Obviously I feels very bad about this and even have gone to sit with him though the night. He doesn't even recognize me and keeps moving in his wheelchair. Last night it did help a little to massage his shoulders and talk softly to him (although he is very deaf so it may not have worked). He seemed to calm but still didn't want to go to bed. I agree with your statements but still feel so bad to see my brilliant, loving father in this place.

I wish that more information would be available to caregivers whose patient had significant pre-morbid psychiatric pathology. Most of the literature assumes that the patients are sweet little old ladies and men who will cooperate with caregivers. This is not my reality at all as my patient is very belligerent and refuses all medical care as she ties this to a threat to her independence. She is a danger to herself and others as she refuses to quit driving. The revocation of her drivers license cannot occur until she sees a physician. Many people believe that the solution is to take away the car or the keys to the car. The problem with this is that she has the means to buy any car she wants, which she could purchase as she still has a drivers license. She is an extremely difficult woman, and her primary care physician just discharged from his care when my husband attempted to get his cooperation in revoking her drivers license. She will only eat sweets. Our hands are tied until something breaks with her health status necessitating a trip to the doctor. I try to take her wherever she needs to go, but I cannot be at her beck and call 24/7, although I need to be. She will not accept any help from outside sources except for a housekeeper. We are living in continuous fear of her injuring herself or someone else. My point is that caregiving is much more challenging with patients with significant pre-morbid pathology, which is rarely addressed by caregiver forums.

My dad is 93 years old. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 5 years ago; although he had noticeable symptoms long before diagnoses. My brother took early retirement 3 years ago to take him into his home and care for him. He used to take short walks with us; using a walker and with assistance from us. It seems like we have battle one fear and then another in our journey. About a year ago he developed a fear of going out the front door; so we were unable to take him for walks outdoors. Then a few months later he developed a fear of stepping out of the bathroom into the hallway. He has little to no verbalization so has never been able to verbalize his fears; we have been able to pick up clues by how he reacts and grabs hold of door ways and resisting forward motion. The past two months we have seen a dramatic decline. He was able to walk with the assistance of 2 people; now it is all we can do to get him transferred from bed to a wheelchair and then from the wheel chair to the toilet seat or shower chair. He eats and drinks only with assistance. The past week we started hiring help and receiving assistance from hospice. A hospice nurse visits weekly and bath attendants come from hospice 3 times a week. We are afraid that placing him in a home will cause another fear reaction which might lead to a state of total unresponsiveness and then coma and death. Any other suggestions? or help in a way which we are not looking? Prayers are gladly accepted.

My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in Dec. 2009. He was getting a little forgetful and then on Dec 30, 2009 he woke up and didn't know my mother, where he lived, etc. He has never come back. Two weeks go while my mom was getting laundry together in the back of the house my dad swiped the keys, got in the car and left. Of course he was involved in an accident that was his fault. He sustained a broken collar bone and lots of bruising. Thankfully the other driver was not injured. Both vehicles were totalled. This set him back tremendously. He has now gotten to the point where he wants to leave even more, doesn't believe anyone and is becoming increasingly angry. Today he grabbed me by the arm and shoved me thru the door twisting my wrist and spraining it. I am worried he may be doing this to mom...but she won't admit it. He is still very mobile and is a big, strong man. I talked to mom and told her it may be time to look for placement. We both are heartbroken...but I don't see any other options. It's really hard especially since I am a nurse and know how most homes operate, I work in the hospital and see the condition some of the residents are in when we get them. We are just at the end of our rope, is there any other way? I love my dad and hate to see him (and mom) suffering like this.It's tearing us all apart.

I had been caring for my mom since Jan.2011 she has Alzheimers.She once sewed or did some tpye of crafts,she enjoyed her church,friends,and many activities.Driving too to NC to visit family,alone or with relatives.She now sleeps,and eats very little,there is no more conversations with her,or if she does she repeats things over and over.This is weighing on me heavily.I don't have a life any more.I feel so sad to see her this way,she use to be the life of a party.When I look in her eyes,she is gone.I have to bath her,hold her when she walks,because she is unsteady.She just last night said to me " I looked in the closest and saw alot of Quilts I made,I didn't know I had all that stuff back there." I need to sell some of it." She also said "I think my mind just stopped."She doesn't even watch TV it watches her,she use to read book's,no more.After reading the post from others I felt like leaving mine.Guess I rambled alot but it has helped to know someone else cares and is going thur the same process,somewhere.We all need each other.No man is an island.

Are there any occupational resources websites I can refer to for my 82 year old Mother with moderate Alzheimer's. She used to enjoy cards with my Father, latch hooking and embroidery. Her eye sight at night is poor. She would like to do some of these things again but they would need to be in a more simple form. Suggestions?

My wife was diagnosed with early onset AD four years ago. I've taken care of her until last week when she became violent. She is now in a memory care facility until I can figure out how to pay for her permanant home. I'm finding all the memory care facilities are very expensive and most do not accept Medicare nor Medical. Only private money. It's hard to believe that there is no help for this horrible situation.

Sherry, you posted your question one month ago and frankly, I don't have any answer. I am struggling with the same heart wrenching issue. We brought Mom (age 75) to MN last summer and she still wants to go back to her home in FL. We did sell her Jeep but it did not go well, which I understand. Who wants to lose their independence? I have not sold her home yet because I wanted to give her time to adjust to being in MN and see how life can be when she's closer to us. By the grace of God she still has the mental capacity to be in an independent living facility. I have made the decision to bring her back to her home in FL for one week in April so she can have closure with her friends before we list the townhouse. I know this comes with the huge risk that we will push her backwards emotionally. It just felt so wrong to my brother and me to not give her the chance to say goodbye. I am very conflicted because I'm constantly thinking, "How would this feel if I was Mom?" And the reality is, it would be very painful for me as well. I also know that, with time, I would adjust. The blessing for us is that we are spending more time with Mom than we ever have. (Although she doesn't seem to appreciate that as much as us.) :) I will send up prayers for you and your family. Jill

I too thank you for the five ideas. We are in the "mild cognitive impairment" starting of all this. But each day a little more of my husband ticks away. His processing skills are fading along with all the other. I just had to tell his sister to back off. She does not want to know about his any of this so it makes it difficult for any kind of support. So the five ideas helped me tackle that.

It's 4 a.m. and he can't sleep; so I can't either! This is the second night in a row of this waking at 2 am and then keeping us both awake. I have tried everything. He had the flu and I spent 24/7 getting him through that. Now when I let down and try to get rested up-- no sleep. Feels hopeless at this time of night. My family is marvellous at supporting me, but they have their responsibilities too. It is hard to accept that we will never have our old life back There is only one way out and it is not a happy choice: losing him. but then I've already lost him in so many ways. A while ago I was so upset. He comforted me, let me cry and patted my back for a long time. So we still do support each other and he can still help me. Thanks for listening. I feel better.

I too am the only caregiver for my 62 year ols Husband with AD. He was diagonised 5 years ago and is in the final stages. I recently received a book titled The 36-Hour Day from my . doctor. It is very informative and a very good read. I have found that the more I understand the complications of AD the better I cope. Thnaks to all of you for your post. May God Bless You All.

My wife had a dementia that was not AD, probably FTD, and it tortured her to be so aware she was failing. For 34 years she was my best friend. It is hard to look forward without the partner who always helped sort things out and make plans. As the eldest of nine, Barbara had a keen executive mind and love of order and foresight. She also loved to be active outdoors. The irony is that the thing that took her down was a type of dementia that took away all that mental ability and then began to disable her body. I lost most of her gradually before she left me. This helps me by giving me an opportunity to discuss my loss, and help me grieve. They tell me I have to accept the pain before I can move on. That's beginning to feel right, and this note is a step along the way. Thank you for "hearing me out". I hope it is not too much of a downer, and wish everyone knew, as I remember remember Barbara as the sharp beautiful woman she was until near the end. I could not bear to have her away from home as she declined and decided I would bring in 24 hour nurse aides even if it cost all I had, and there is no doubt it was the right thing to do. Hospice helped greatly, too. I was able to hold her close on bad nights until she slept, and be near and holding her hand at the end.

My mom had a stroke and this led to dementia. We cared for her at home for awhile until it came to a point where we knew she needed total care. Mom would say, "I have no identity" or "I don't exist". I lived away. So I started sending her cards with her name on them and gifts. When I visited, I would bring an acorn or a pinecone so she could feel them. She was a gardner. Just little things she could connect too. She is gone now and I miss the connection we had. She loved a coffee or a pudding. My sister who is mentally challenged and has cebral palsy has been in the same home for over 30 years. She has been the longest resident in this home. Mom and daughter would have words. Being a mother didn't stop even in care. Ours was a difficult childhood and I didn't know how she would be treated by her children. But we treated her with dignity and we did love her even with her faults. Make your time count and look for the special moments.

Hi Leanne: I was reading your letter re: helping your mom as she does not like ensure and just getting her to eat more. For my downsyndrome daughter, I put the ensure or boost into a blender and add two scoops of ice cream, whirl it about and you have a good shake with more calories and protein. How about baby food Junior fruits, they are not too bad. Try to find time to puree your own foods and perhaps her taste buds are gone, so add a tsp. of instant (fruit) sugar, that disolves instantly . Also, gingerale, with ice cream done in the blender for an ice cream soda. Put the cold drinks in a thermos cup to keep them cold longer. Mash a banana with sugar, put a dab of whipped topping on her jello or puddings. Ensure and boost have puddings. I keep instant potatoes on hand for something quick if she does not want what I offer. Put your margarine/butter on them. Instant rice as well, but I do not serve that alot, as I am a make your own person. That's all I can think of for now, all the best to you, bon a petite for your mom. God bless you.

I guess we pretty well all go through the same mental anguish when looking after a family member that has a/z or some form of dementia. My anguish is a wee bit different, but right up there with the rest of you with hurts, remorses, etc. My downsyndrome daughter is 45 yrs old and I am a 73 yr. old widow of 18yrs. My daughter not only has her mental disability but Hep C as well, and that destroys brain cells, and most downs get alz/, so she has 3 strikes against her. She is going downhill quite quickly and has lost 18 lbs since Christmas. She is now on minced foods. She is at home with me and she can sure be stubborn, expecially lately when it come time for a shower. She goes to a nursing home for respite every 2-3 months and that is for about 10 days. It helps alot, and the staff are reasonably good, but there is no place like home. She knows more than she can express. Always has been that way. She got hep C in 1984 via blood transfusion re: heart operation and showed no symptoms until 4 yrs ago and 3 yrs ago we found the reason for her enlarged liver and fatigue. I have been told, that I wll finally get some help within the home with her. She has been in bed 24/7 since Christmas. She has had a very good life and has done more than alot of children. Special olympic swimmer for 10 yrs, bowling, camping 4-5 x's a year for 10 yrs., white water rafting, airplane rides, etc. We must concentrate now on the good times , do what we can and leave the rest to God.

I have really got allot out of reading about other people that are going thru tese sad stages of the loved ones lives. As much as this has helped me I do wih I had someone to talk to. Just to be able to put my feelings into plain words. I haven't been able to find a help group but will say this I am thankful I have found this blog...it has helped me in many ways.

She was diagnosed with early Alzheimer's shortly after arriving here. The doctor says she can't live alone 3,000 miles away. I am facing selling her home which she still wants to live in. How do I tell her the house is being sold? This has been the most difficult task. Thank you so much for your newsletter.

I think eventually I will need to find a place for Ken to live but, for now, even with all the challenges, I'm remembering to enjoy every special moment we share. We have been married 53 years. It is now at the point that I change his depends, put his jammies on and tuck him in bed. He know longer remembers exactly which side of the bed is his. When all this gets accomplished, I almost feel as though I had an opportunity to view him when he was a little boy. In many ways he is as he will sit next to me at bedtime while I read to him. It's not an easy time for me but I am reminded how quickly our little girls grew into adult women and I know this is a fleeting moment in time.

I have always just used canned air and dry q-tips on the blades. I don't take the shrouds off unless I need to redo TIM.
Canned air. Man, I can't believe I hadn't thought about that! I have never actually bought canned air before, seriously. I've always done it the hard way with alcohol and Q-tips. I think canned air just *might* be a little easier, especially with the way this card's fan assembly is built. Thanks!
you can also do a quick and still a little dirty job by sticking the end of a vacume hose over the fan and pulling the dust back out. still leaves a fine coat but gets 98% of it. did that to my gso's a few times.
Btw, Hi rob, thought you bailed on us again.
Hmmm, vacuum might just work. I could do that before I get a can of air. Nah, I didn't bail. I lurk from time to time. The past couple of months have been insanely busy with work, in-laws visiting from Korea for three weeks, and now I am looking to change jobs and move.
canned air always works for me
Seems like this is a popular answer. It must work.
Thanks a lot guys.

It was close to the stadium and easy to find.
Easy to use and convenient...although a bit pricy
The location was very convenient and the tavern was great! Would use again.
Parking was awesome. Short walk to the will call ticket booth at Entrance A. Lot belonged to Tailgate Tavern so we easily found a place to have drinks and food post-game.
Parking was amazing! Quick, Easy and Secure. In and out of the lot and the people were great! Well worth the money for me!!

Reportedly a great show with Ian in fine voice. Would love to believe all that.
Nope, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same thing Pulp did last year/this year.
Paul, I work for the local phone company; we get all our vacation at once at the start of the year, and I have already either taken or scheduled all my time for this year.
I am also hoping for Coachella. (duh!) I imagine if GV got the Stone Roses that they would be at the top of my must-see list.
Bye Bye Badman is probably my fave but am not expecting it. I Am The Resurrection otoh... not doing that one is an egregious oversight. They really should play it after all this time. I do like the idea of She Bangs the Drums into Love Spreads though.

BBC says world tour on the way.
"But opinion was mixed over the quality of singer Ian Brown's voice. 'He can't sing but he never could,' said Tom Six, 35, from Liverpool"
Just listened to those above, and it's too hard to tell. But god I am excited to possibly see them live. I'll have to leave my stone roses cd with my kids to get them geared up in case of Coachella.
Where angels play, indeed. I like the setlist with the expected and the unexpected. Mersey Paradise is such a fun, summery song and bet the crowd was bouncing away (that audience looked killer btw).
Not that I don't like that song, but John had to get the heavy riffage in at the end. Feed the fingers, heh.

1.) Mr. Parks is charged because his use of a firearm led to the health complications in Mr. Pickens death.
2.) Mr. Parks isn't much of a gentle giant if he is trying to force himself into cars to attack passed out drunk people.
3.) No one else sees the irony that Mr. Pickens was murdered forcing his way into a car; the exact same thing Mr. Parks was doing moments before. Would it have been okay for Ms. Jones to kill Mr. Parks if so?
4.) What responsible AND sober man goes to Andrews at four in the morning, catcalls at accompanied women, fights in parking lots, tries to punch unconscious people, and fires off rounds at unarmed people?
5.) Mr. Pickens past history, while character introspective, does not dictate all his actions. I see a man protecting a passed out man from a beating against a sober "gentle giant" and being killed with a firearm for his trouble.
6.) The main lesson is do not go to those clubs looking for rational behavior from the drunk OR sober.
When he forced his way into mr Pickens car he would have been justified if he shot Mr Park.Once Park walked away he was no longer a threat to Pickens Deadly Force could not be used.But when Pickins chased him into his car Parks was justified in using deadly force by LAW.

There's still no paucity of news about Recovery Act funding: new opportunity announcements, new resources, new processes, and even awards are in the hopper.
Two recent funding opportunities apply to small audiences: one for institutions with a low level of NIH funding and the other for research to address radiation exposure.
Organizations with limited NIH funding now have an opportunity to apply for ARRA funds. Applicants may request up to $300,000 in direct costs for Academic Research Enhancement Awards (R15).
Applications are due September 24, 2009. Find more details in Recovery Act Limited Competition: Academic Research Enhancement Award.
We're going for NIH's GO grants but not too far. For Grand Opportunities for Research and Research Infrastructure, NIAID will fund applications in two topics only:
For more information, read the NIH Guide notice RFA-OD-09-004, and see NOT-AI-09-031 for NIAID's participation. Talk to a program officer before you prepare an application; find contact information in NOT-AI-09-031. Applications are due May 29, 2009.
Now you can get a compact but comprehensive view of ARRA announcements on NIAID Participation in NIH ARRA Opportunities. Our updated table has:
Keep in mind that for some opportunities whose deadlines have passed we may advertise again next year (for one year of funding).
We are finally making the first ARRA awards after some delays caused by the ramping up of new processes in various parts of the government.
If you need to submit revised parts of your application, use the new template in the May 5, 2009, Guide notice.
If you qualify for an ARRA award, don't be concerned if no one has contacted you yet. We have a lot of awards to get through, and it's going to take time.
NIH will use parts of its new peer review process and traits unique to ARRA applications, as outlined in the March 4, 2009, Guide notice.
Main features of ARRA peer review are:
Challenge grants have a unique approach; we will let you know as soon as we have more information.
To read more about NIH's new review system in general, see our December 17, 2008, article "Inside the New Peer Review."
Even if you keep up with ARRA policies, you may be pondering your options. For example, can you switch from an ARRA grant to one funded from the regular appropriation? Might you have a choice between an R56-Bridge and an ARRA grant?
In some situations you have an option of an R56-Bridge or a two-year ARRA award, whereas in others you do not. Here are three related questions to help clarify your choices:
If I get an ARRA grant and then learn that my resubmission scored within the payline, can I cancel the ARRA award?
No, except for R56-Bridge awards funded with ARRA money (most are). Once you are on the list for payment for an ARRA grant, you cannot switch to a regular award.
If my application ranks between the 12 and 25 percentile and qualifies for ARRA support, can I pick either an R56-Bridge or an ARRA grant?
Yes. In that situation, it is your choice. An advantage of the R56-Bridge award is that you can resubmit (assuming you have a resubmission left). If your resubmission scores within the payline, we can stop the Bridge and fund the resubmission with regular funds.
Bridges are for only one year, and while we plan to extend them for a second year, that is not certain. ARRA grants funded in FY 2009 are for two years, but you may not resubmit, and we cannot stop them once they are underway.
For renewals, rules are different. If you submit a renewal to an ARRA grant early and get a fundable score, we can depart from our normal policy and terminate the two-year award early to fund the regular award.
Yes. You can if the career award allows concurrent support, and you can reduce your time and effort to at least six person months. Otherwise, you have to choose between the Challenge Grant and the career award.
NIH is working to implement Removing Barriers to Responsible Scientific Research Involving Human Stem Cells, Executive Order 13505. As a first step, it has developed Draft NIH Guidelines for Human Stem Cell Research and is seeking public comment before finalizing them, which must be done by July 7, 2009.
If you'd like to offer your two cents, you have until 11 p.m. EST on May 26. Go to the Comments Form to submit your thoughts online or send them to the following address:
NIH Stem Cell Guidelines MSC 7997 9000 Rockville Pike Bethesda, Maryland 20892-7997
Until final guidelines come out, NIH issued the April 17, 2009, Guide notice on how it is handling competing applications and awarded grants involving human embryonic stem cell research.
In a nutshell, here's what you should know:
What About Noncompeting Grants?
In addition to the information in the Guide notice, we've learned this: institutes can issue awards that have budget start dates of July 1, 2009, or sooner, and include a previously approved use of human embryonic stem cells.
Just a reminder that NIH does not alert you of a Notice of Award. As we told you last year, you must go to the Commons to find your notice, whether for a new or renewal application or a progress report.
Use the Commons Status module or Issued Notice of (Grant) Award query.
NIH will completely shut down the eRA Commons from May 22 to May 26 to fix major systems issues and upgrade hardware. If you have a deadline then, you should plan to submit well before the shutdown.
During the outage you will be able to submit your application to Grants.gov but not use any eRA services until the system comes back up. See Overview of eRA Services for Grant Applicants for a list of what's affected.
As always, you are not penalized for missing Commons or Grants.gov deadlines due to systems issues as long as you document the problem and contact the appropriate help desk.
To avoid clogging the system when it goes back up, NIH has moved the submission deadline for GO grants—RFA-OD-09-004 and NOT-AI-09-031—to May 29 and may make other changes. We'll keep you posted.
NIH is keeping the error correction window open until May 8, 2009, for Challenge Grant applications.
Due to a massive volume of submissions for April receipt dates, it couldn't process some applications for viewing in the eRA Commons within the standard two-day correction window.
If you submitted your Challenge Grant application by April 27 but still can't see it in the Commons, immediately contact the eRA Help Desk. If you already reported an issue, the Help Desk should have responded by now; try contacting them again.
Several non-NIAID opportunities are affected, too. See a complete list in the May 1, 2009, Guide notice.
NIH realizes that concerns about the H1N1 flu may cause some institutions to close for business. If your institution was closed, you can submit your application late, following NIH's usual guidelines.
Include a cover letter noting the reasons for the delay. You do not need to ask permission, and the delay should not exceed the time your institution is closed.
See the May 1, 2009, Guide notice for the official word.
Looking to increase your odds of securing Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) funding? Check out our Small Business High-Priority Areas of Interest page, which lists new and updated areas of interest to our program divisions.
DAIDS has added the following new topics:
DAIDS also updated some entries to include nanotechnology-based approaches to the following:
Here is new information from DAIT:
DMID updated its entry with:
Those of you who tuned into the "NIAID Malaria Research: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Webinar" last month took away vital information on the progress we've made in this area.
Along with Institute Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, staff from our Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and Division of Intramural Research took part to talk about topics such as:
In case you missed the Webinar, you can see what transpired by reading the transcript "NIAID Malaria Research: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow."
Peer review has changed, and NIH has set up a new Web page to help you move along with it. Go to Guidelines for Reviewers to look through templates and examples of critiques.
While reviewers can use these resources to get tips on creating critiques, others can see what reviewers are doing so they can write their applications accordingly.
Learn more about meeting reviewer expectations in Know Your Audience and Part 5. Assignment and Review in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
You may also want to go to Peer Review Policies and Practices to learn more about updates to peer review. The site gives you links to notices, guidelines, and policies.
Feel free to send us a question at firstname.lastname@example.com. After responding to you, we may include your question in the newsletter, incorporate it into the NIAID Research Funding site, or both.
For Specific Aims, Bridges follow the same rules as ARRA R01s: no need to revise if the investigator can get meaningful results during the funding period. Read Before You Can Get Stimulus Money for details on submitting Specific Aims and budget information.
Yes, but keep in mind that it is unlikely we will have money left for FY 2009 supplements the closer we get to the FY 2009 deadline of July 17. See Deadlines by Funding Year.
We will fund FY 2009 administrative supplements as soon as we are able to make the awards. We don't know exactly when but definitely before the end of summer.
Yes, we are funding applications from requests for applications at comparable levels to the cutoffs for investigator-initiated applications listed at Funding Range for ARRA Awards.
For the Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01), you need to be a clinician or Ph.D. in the fields of epidemiology and outcomes research and must have had independent research experience after earning your degree.
Except the K99/R00, all K awards require either U.S. citizenship or permanent residency status (Alien Registration Receipt Card, Form I-551). People on temporary or student visas are not eligible.

TUCSON - A popular elementary school in Vail is turning away students who live outside the district's boundaries.
More than 100 kids who attend Senita Valley Elementary through open enrollment are now being forced to look for new schools.
District leaders met with concerned parents Wednesday night.
About 50 families were in attendance, for some it was an emotional night.
Kristi Greene says, "It's heartbreaking, it's hard for the kids to learn that they can't come to a school they've grown to love."
Susan Ames says, "very sad, he's been through a lot and this is his only stability, so it's hard, we're praying."
Another parent said, "when I came to pick them up, I saw my little girl holding a letter, crying and I knew something was going on."
The school sent a letter to parents of about 120 open enrollment students explaining they won't be allowed to return to Senita Valley next school year.
The district then hosted a meeting to answer questions.
Assistant Superintendent John Carruth explains, "the reality is, the neighborhood right around the school has experienced tremendous growth, and we simply don't have enough seats available to accommodate everyone."
District leaders are offering that kids attend Mesquite Elementary instead, or move to a school in their home district.
Some families are taking the news in stride.
"They're resilient, they're kids, they'll fight through and they have a lot of their friends that will be moving over as well," said one father.
For others, where they'll go next year is still up in the air.
Greene says, "we're still working on it."
Student Cameron Ames with his mom Susan says, "I don't want to change. Do you love your teachers? Yes. What's going to be the toughest part for you? Friends."
District leaders say both schools are top performing, equal in academics.

By TERRY WALLACE
The Associated Press
DALLAS An Army nurse showed no alarm or discomfort before suddenly collapsing during a Skype video chat with his wife, who saw a bullet hole in a closet behind him, his family said Sunday.
This undated photo provided by the U.S. Army shows Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark. The family Clark, a Texas-based Army medic serving in Afghanistan, says Clark's wife witnessed the officer's death, which happened Monday, April 30, 2012 as the two were video chatting via Skype. (AP Photo/U.S. Army)
Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark's family released a statement describing what his wife saw in the video feed recording her husband's death.
"Clark was suddenly knocked forward," the statement said. "The closet behind him had a bullet hole in it. The other individuals, including a member of the military, who rushed to the home of CPT Clark's wife also saw the hole and agreed it was a bullet hole."
The statement says the Skype link remained open for two hours on April 30 as family and friends in the U.S. and Afghanistan tried to get Clark help.
"After two hours and many frantic phone calls by Mrs. Clark, two military personnel arrived in the room and appeared to check his pulse, but provided no details about his condition to his wife," the statement said.
The Pentagon has said the cause of Clark's death remains under investigation.
In the statement, Susan Orellana-Clark said she was providing details of what she saw "to honor my husband and dispel the inaccurate information and supposition promulgated by other parties."
Clark, 43, grew up in Michigan and previously lived in Spencerport, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester, his wife's hometown. He joined the Army in 2006 and was stationed in Hawaii before he was assigned to the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso. He deployed to Afghanistan in March.
Clarence Davis, spokesman for William Beaumont Army Medical Center, declined to comment on Clark's family's statement.
Clark's body was returned Thursday to Dover Air Force Base.
He is survived by his wife and two daughters, aged 3 and 9.
That's screwed up .... How horrible for the wife to have too see that
That's actually my moms second cousin. Was very sad day, no wife ever deserves to see that
Said he didn't die because of a bullet wound...
Army investigators said Monday they found no bullet wound nor evidence of foul play in the death of a soldier in Afghanistan who died during a Skype video chat with his wife.
Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark collapsed while speaking to his wife on May 1 from his base in Tarin Kot, Afghanistan, southwest of Kabul. His wife, Susan Orellana-Clark, has suggested that Clark was shot, citing a hole visible in the closet behind him that she believed was a bullet hole. Investigators said an initial probe showed only that Clark broke his nose when he fell forward. Orellana-Clark said he didn't seem alarmed before he collapsed.
So he just fell over dead? I smell a cover up...
