New Hope for Nature's Dying Alzheimer's Remedy
For centuries, Chinese medicine men have sworn by a natural way to fight Alzheimer's disease. It's an extract from a moss-like plant in China. Published studies have shown it to be safe and effective. But the supply is limited. That's because the plant takes decades to grow… and yields only a tiny amount of the vital extract. Worse, the Chinese trust this remedy so much that they've overharvested the plant. Now, it's facing extinction.
But Yale scientists have come up with a way to reproduce the natural compound. That means wider availability for the people who need it.
Dr. Seth Herzon is the research scientist who has come up with the solution. He graduated from Harvard and has been honored by the National Institutes of Health. Now a professor at Yale, he leads lab research for the chemistry department. His mission is to get this natural remedy to those who need it.
He's convinced that it can combat Alzheimer's more effectively than drugs. It works faster. It is more potent. And it's totally safe.
"We believe (this remedy) has the potential to treat neurologic disorders more effectively than the current options available," he says. "And we now have a route that rivals nature's pathway."
The journal Chemical Science published his research. And independent experts support his findings.
Dr. Steven Weinreb heads up research into the synthesis of natural products for Penn State University. He says Herzon's solution "allows access to large quantities of this scarce natural product from readily available materials." He believes this breakthrough will provide a safe, effective and widely available treatment for Alzheimer's patients.
So how does the compound work?
To answer that question you have to look at the problems associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Our brains produce a compound called acetylcholine. This chemical messenger is vital to memory, judgment and clarity of thought.
But Alzheimer's patients produce an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE). This enzyme breaks down acetylcholine. That breakdown leads to many of the cognitive problems linked to the disease.
Many drugs treat the disease by inhibiting AChE. That allows acetylcholine levels to rise and normalize. This, in turn, can improve cognitive function.
That's where the Chinese remedy comes in. The Huperzia serrata plant holds a compound called huperzine A.
Huperzine A targets AChE and slows down its activity. That stops the breakdown of acetylcholine and enables the brain to function properly.
Twenty years of published studies support this natural remedy. They show that it works as well as prescription drugs. In some cases it works much better… and without risky side effects.1
Here are two brief examples…
One study looked at 103 people with the disease. The double-blind, placebo-controlled study ran for eight weeks. Patients got either huperzine A or placebo twice a day.
Almost 50 percent more patients in the huperzine A group showed significant improvements compared to the placebo group. These improvements included memory, thinking, and behavioral functions.
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences conducted another study. They looked at 202 Alzheimer's patients. Each patient got 400 micrograms of huperzine A daily.
Patients saw improvements in behavior and cognition. They also enjoyed improved mobility.
Herzon's Solution
Science shows that this natural extract can work. But there is a problem. The plant material yields less than one percent of usable solution. Worse, the supply is so low that it can cost up to $1,000 per milligram.
"Being able to synthesize large amounts of huperzine A is crucial," says Dr. Herzon. "Because the plant itself is nearing extinction."
So he created an eight-step process to reproduce huperzine A in the lab. That process now yields 40 percent of usable solution.
Thanks to Herzon's new process, you can buy this compound for just a few dollars. That's a small fraction of what it used to cost.
You can find huperzine A online and at most health food stores. Best of all, it costs just $10 to $20 a bottle. Based on several studies, you should take 200 micrograms per day to help prevent memory loss and cognitive decline.
[Ed. Note: Researchers make new strides every day toward finding all-natural cures for everything from cancer to heart disease to Alzheimer's and more. You can now get access to information about the latest breakthroughs in medical science for just $4.08 a month. Get all the details now in this revealing video presentation.]

LG KF300 budget clamshell phone
So what if you're after a phone that doesn't have an eight-megapixel camera, smartphone functionality or touchscreen tech? LG's been busy of late speccing up and serving out a pick-and-mix of eye-catching and - occasionally - innovative mobiles, but they're not for everyone. Enter LG's KF300, aimed squarely at those mobile …
Not everyone needs a leading edge phone
Me for instance!
I have the KF300s predecessor with Orange, the F2250, for nearly 3 years now.
I phone friends and text them and that's about it. I like the bigger size of a clamshell, it's easier to hold and bigger keys make it easier for adult hands :-) It charges up well, and gives good clear calls.
And you say this new one has all this, plus a camera? And a radio? and it plays mp3s? and your reviewer says its just as stylish and well made as the old one?
Straightforward inexpensive phone that lots of people will enjoy, from the sound of it!
Some nice points
The white on black keypad font has a nice retro look about it and I can see this being a possible Xmas gift for my 72 year old mother. Shame its (currently) only available from those cutpurses at Orange at the moment, if it gets released with a decent mobe company then i will consider a purchase.
Oh sh*t.. I used the m*be word, apologies to everyone :)
I wish this had been available earlier
I spent bloody ages looking for a suitable phone for my Mum (71 going on 17). Still, she's happy with her candybar HandleEasy 330gsm from BioAcoustics: https://sslrelay.com/www.bioacoustics.biz/sess/utn;jsessionid=154945fab294892/shopdata/index.shopscript

The government claims to fight the War on Drugs in the name of our health and safety, yet they're complicit in a rising addiction to opioid pharmaceuticals that killed more Americans in 2008 than have died in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the World Trade Center combined. Meanwhile, the Drug War they are fighting prevents us from applying the cure to this painkiller problem, since we have scientific evidence that cannabis works synergistically with opioids to deliver better pain relief with less pills, we have surveys showing medical marijuana patients are able to reduce their use of painkillers, cannabis has been shown to be a superior remedy for neuropathic pain, and doctors are now suggesting cannabis therapies for pain before opioid therapies because of cannabis' non-toxicity and low risk of side effects.

When I was in Orlando, the college kids of University of Central Florida told me about the "pill mill" epidemic referred to in this report. The way they described it, it sounded like the image our opponents paint of medical marijuana in California. "Yeah, you can go to a shady little fake clinic," one young man told me, "complain about pain, get a script from a shady doc, and get yourself 500 OxyContin pills, no problem." Another told me of a friend of his who gets the OxyContin to sell so he can buy the ridiculously overpriced marijuana in Florida.

|Multicenter, Randomized Phase Ⅲ Study of Genetically Modified Recombinant Human Interleukin-11 to Prevent Chemotherapy-induced Thrombocytopenia in Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy
- Comparison of average platelet counts between mIL-11 and rhIL-11 at day 21 after the initiation of chemotherapy [ Time Frame: day 21 after the initiation of chemotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Recovery time of platelet counts from nadir to normal level [ Time Frame: 21days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Comparison of average nadir platelet counts between mIL-11 and rhIL-11 during chemotherapy cycles [ Time Frame: 21 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2012
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: IL-11
mIL11: 7.5 μg/kg rhIL-11: 25μg/kg
Drug: mIL-11
mIL-11:7.5μg/kg ,subcutaneous administration once daily for 10 days,beginning 24 h after chemotherapy; rhIL-11:25μg/kg,subcutaneous administration once daily for 10 days,beginning 24 h after chemotherapy;
Detailed Description:
The investigators recently developed a mutant form of rhIL-11 with improved stability. In in vitro experimental systems, mIL-11 was shown to endure chemical and proteolytic stresses more effectively, while retaining the biological activity of the original rhIL-11. The improved stability of mIL-11 was also demonstrated in the comparative pharmacokinetic study of subcutaneously delivered mIL-11 and rhIL-11 in the rodent and primate models. Based on its improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic features. In Phase II study shows that mIL-11 is well tolerated and has thrombopoietic activity equivalent to one third of the clinical dose of rhIL-11, indicating the potential of mIL- 11 for use in the treatment of CIT. This study is a phase III, single-blinded, randomized,multicenter,cross-over study designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of low-dose mIL-11 on CIT patients receiving suitable chemotherapeutic regimen for treating cancer.

Name: Dayton Boat Dock & Grill
Location: 175 Lakeshore Drive, Dayton, Tenn.
Phone: 423 428-9090
Owner: Michael Neal
Background: Neal, a 20-year-old junior at Bryan College, said that he has fished since the age of 3, because "my whole family" loved the sport. "It's the only sport where you compete against other people and the fish one-on-one," he said.
Products/Services: Boat dock shop — Live bait, crickets and worms; bass and crappy tackle; Ameristep camouflaged hunting blind; rods and reels; life jackets; fishing nets; souvenir t-shirts Restaurant — Opened seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and serves a daily country breakfast; plate lunches on Wednesday through Friday and a regular lunch menu, which includes burgers, sandwiches and salad
Inspiration behind the name: The community bait shop had previous owners, Neal said, and had opened in the late-1960s or early-1970s. He retained the shop's namesake for recognition and familiarity, but had wanted to expand its inventory and convert one side into a restaurant.
Price range of services: 30 cents for plastic floaters up to $159.99 for a Curado 200G7 reel
Target market: Neal said he wanted to give "everybody a place to meet all their hunting and fishing needs" and enjoy an affordable meal.
Biggest hurdle: He said that understanding the novice fisherman's needs, as well as the "experienced tournament angler," has presented a challenge oftentimes.
Lesson learned: Familiarity with places has its appeal, Neal said, but that he wanted to "offer a new face" to the community-classic tackle shop and showcase current trends for new and veteran anglers.
Five-year goal: Neal said his goal includes contributing to the community's growth by attracting publicity of well-known tournament, such as the FLW tour.

ill say what everyone else is thinking,
and going on jonathan rea"s wsb effort so far i doubt he is going to make an inpact on stoner"s bike, crash crash crash,
scot redding should have got the ride, im sure he would have impressd,
Scott Redding hasn't just won the Suzuka 8hr though. And with Scotts 'back it in' style he would be more likely to crash than Rea. In my opinion.
[This Reply has been modified by the Author]
dont get me wrong i would love to see rea do well, but i doubt he will do any better than toni elias in reality, in wsb rea seems to be getting a win or bin name to himself, and some of his moves are boarder line, ?? i just feel scott redding would be a better choice in my opinion , redding is young enough to adapt his riding style and learn, and he certainly has the balls,

Rea definately deserves the chance on Stoners bike. He has ridden the wheels of an uncompetitive bike and got some fantastic results on it. He has shown loyaty to Honda and could have joined a team with a better bike. He has always beaten his team mates by a mile and that includes Checca. He has just won the suzuka 8 hours. If he stays on i put him down for a top 6 finish and suprising a few of the established riders

FORT WAYNE – The University of Saint Francis furthered its burgeoning downtown presence with the purchase of the Mizpah Shrine Building at 401 W. Berry St.
The private, liberal arts college signed the purchase agreement for the property Wednesday, said Trois Hart, the university's director of marketing. The purchase includes the parking lot associated with the building, adjacent to the parking lot of the former Scottish Rite, which the university bought for $1.3 million in November 2011.
In September, Saint Francis announced it would buy the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce Building at 826 Ewing St. for about $700,000. The university will take possession of the building after the Chamber relocates in spring 2013.
The university has been in negotiations for the Mizpah Shrine building for the past six months, Hart said, but declined to disclose the amount the university will pay for the property.
The building is listed for sale by NAI Harding Dahm for $495,000. The nearly 18,500-square-foot building includes office space, a lounge, ballroom, restaurant with a dining room and bar and a meeting room, according to the listing. It was built in 1886 and was last renovated in 2002.
The university has no definitive plans for the building at this time, Hart said.
The university's decision to buy the property was mainly to acquire the parking lot, Hart said, but the building is also connected to the USF Performing Arts Center, or the former Scottish Rite, and right between the Chamber building and the performing arts center.
"It makes sense strategically that the building in between would also be a part of our footprint," she said.
With more of its students attending classes and events downtown, Hart said the university needed to have sufficient parking to go with its growing campus.
The three-story, 38,000-square-foot Chamber building will be renovated and used for the Keith Busse School of Business and Entrepreneurial Leadership. Officials hope to enroll 300 to 500 students and faculty during the first year of operation, but both the performing arts center and the Chamber building will require about $10 million in renovations.
The university has fundraising campaigns under way for this purpose.

Winter a good time to prune trees
Published: January 22, 2008 by the Central Office
Pruning while trees are dormant can help reduce the spread of oak wilt
MADISON - Snow shoveling isn't the only winter yard work home and landowners may want to undertake. Winter is a good time for tree pruning especially on oak trees. Winter pruning greatly reduces the likelihood of spreading oak wilt and other tree diseases and minimizing pruning stress on trees, according to tree health experts.
"I tell people the best time to prune trees in Wisconsin is during the winter, when the tree is dormant, which is before April, for a number of reasons," said Don Kissinger, an urban forester with the Department of Natural Resources in Wausau. "Insects and diseases that could attack the open wound aren't present in winter and without leaves, broken, cracked or hanging limbs and branch structure are easy to see and prune."
Timing is especially critical for pruning oak trees in order to limit the spread of oak wilt, a devastating fungal disease of oaks that has been present in Wisconsin for probably a century or more, according to forest health specialists. The oak wilt fungus spreads from tree to tree by hitchhiking on sap feeding beetles that are attracted to freshly pruned or injured trees and root grafts between neighboring trees.
"Oak wilt causes the water and nutrient conducting channels in the tree to plug up and fail," explains Kyoko Scanlon, DNR forest health specialist in Fitchburg. "Once a tree is infected, water and stored nutrients can't move upward from the root system, causing the tree's leaves to wilt and fall. The tree dies shortly afterward in some species of oak.
"Red oaks, which include red, pin and black oak, are particularly vulnerable to this disease. Once wilting symptoms appear, trees in the red oak group die very quickly, often within a month."
Oak wilt is found mainly in the southern two-thirds and in the extreme northeast corner of Wisconsin. Prevention is the best defense against this disease say tree experts as the only other treatment options are costly fungicide applications or trenching between healthy and infected trees to sever connected roots
DNR foresters recommend people stop pruning, wounding, or cutting oak trees in the urban setting from April through July (April, May, June, July). A more cautious approach limits pruning until Oct. 1.
"The most critical time for oak wilt infection through insects is the spring and early summer," Scanlon said. "In some years, spring comes much earlier than we expect. If daytime temperatures begin to reach the 50 degree Fahrenheit mark, stop pruning oak at that time, even if it's still the middle of March."
Communities where oak wilt disease is a problem include Adams, Baraboo, Black River Falls, Durand, Eau Claire, Fort McCoy, Green Bay, La Crosse, Madison, Menomonie, Mosinee, Onalaska, Richland Center, Shawano, Stevens Point, and Waupaca.
Additional information on oak wilt can be found on the Forestry pages of the DNR Web site.
Pruning can be beneficial for trees
Before planning any tree pruning, tree owners should consider some rules designed to help further the health of their trees. Trees should be pruned throughout their entire life, with more attention paid during the first 10 years -- every other or every third year -- to foster strong structural or "scaffold" limbs. Once proper structure is established, pruning can occur less often -- about every five years -- to maintain the structure and remove larger pieces of dead wood.
"Pruning should not take more than 25 percent of the live crown of a tree while the lower third of established trunks of deciduous trees should be free of limbs," Kissinger said.
Kissinger offered these tips for pruning shade or deciduous trees:
- Remove limbs growing toward the ground.
- Remove limbs that are crossing, rubbing or growing parallel to one another, competing for the same space in the tree crown.
- Remove limbs growing vertically or toward the interior of the tree.
- Remove broken, cracked, diseased or dead limbs.
- Maintain one central trunk or "leader" for as long as possible.
- Never remove so many interior branches that leaves are only present at the outside edge of the tree.
- Never prune a branch flush to the trunk as the large wound reduces the tree's natural barrier to decay. The cut should begin just outside the branch bark ridge and continue at a slight outward angle until completed.
- Never "top" your trees or allow any tree service to do the same. This leaves the tree vulnerable to decay, sucks energy from the tree and leads to an early tree death.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) -- Whoever has Arthur Olterman's pig is either very inventive or very strong.
Olterman called the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office to report the white pig had been taken from its pen at a neighbor's house near Kingsport -- all 450 pounds of it.
A deputy's report stated property owner Mary Keys wasn't available for him to interview on Monday, according to the Kingsport Times-News.
However, deputy Lyndon Williams saw where someone had cleared a path through some brush to get access to the pig. How they got it into a vehicle is cause for conjecture.
The porker is valued at about $350. Anyone who knows where the pig is or anything about its disappearance should call the Hawkins County sheriff.

Another former Virginia baseball player is headed to the Seattle Mariners organization.
According to his hometown newspaper, second baseman Keith Werman is joining the Mariners as an undrafted free agent. The Sun Gazette report says Werman planned to sign with the team on Wednesday.
Werman, a fan favorite at Davenport Field throughout his Virginia career, was a second-team All-ACC selection as a senior. He hit .274 in 58 games, scoring 37 runs and driving in 24. His 28 sacrifice bunts lead Division I baseball.
Werman hit .309 for his Virginia baseball career.
Werman will join several members of the Cavaliers' 2011 College World Series team in the Mariners' organization. Shortstop Chris Taylor was taken by Seattle in the fifth round of last week's draft. The Mariners also picked three Cavaliers in the 2011 draft -- pitcher Danny Hultzen (with the second overall pick), catcher John Hicks, and third baseman Steven Proscia.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn August 25, 2006, at 1308 eastern daylight time, a Mitsubishi MU-2B-40, N171MA, was destroyed during an in-flight separation and impact with terrain near Bunnell, Florida. The certificated commercial pilot and passenger were fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed near the accident site, for the flight that departed Monroe County Airport (KBMG), Bloomington, Indiana; destined for Governors Harbour Airport (MYEM), Eleuthera Island, Bahamas. An instrument flight rules flight plan was filed for the personal international flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.At 1222, the pilot made initial contact with the Jacksonville, Florida, air route traffic control center (ARTCC). At that time, the airplane was at 28,000 feet msl (FL 280).At 1241, the pilot was assigned a different radio frequency for Jacksonville ARTCC as the airplane entered a different sector of airspace. The pilot acknowledged and complied with the frequency change. At 1251, several aircraft in the sector had deviated around convective weather via their own navigation, without assistance from the air traffic controller, except for obtaining approval for course deviations. The air traffic controller then asked the accident pilot if he was anticipating a need to deviate from course before reaching Ormond Beach, Florida. The pilot initially responded that no deviations would be needed. At 1252, the controller broadcast an advisory for convective weather significant to the safety of all aircraft (convective SIGMET 39E), for the areas covering South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Florida Coastal waters. The pilot then advised the controller that he reconsidered a deviation, and inquired when he could proceed direct to MYEM. The pilot added that a deviation would depend on when he could go direct to MYEM. The pilot then asked if there was any possibility he could go direct to MYEM before reaching Ormond Beach, Florida. The controller responded that because of traffic, he needed the pilot to go to Ormond Beach before going direct to MYEM, and asked what deviation the pilot needed. The pilot responded that if he needed to deviate, it would be 10 degrees to the right, and wouldn't be needed for about 60 miles. The air traffic controller approved the deviation, and asked the pilot if he could make it back over Ormond Beach after the deviation. The pilot replied no, that Ormond Beach was under weather at the moment. The air traffic controller made a comment to the pilot about the accident airplane having better weather radar than he did. The air traffic controller then approved the deviation, and requested that the pilot advise when he could proceed direct to Melbourne, Florida. The pilot responded, "...Ten right now and direct Melbourne when able, I can handle that."At 1306, the pilot reported to air traffic control (ATC) that he was unable to maintain altitude. The air traffic controller repeatedly attempted to contact the pilot, but no further radio communications were received from the accident airplane. The accident occurred during the hours of daylight, located approximately 29 degrees, 18.80 minutes north latitude, and 81 degrees, 14.82 minutes west longitude. PILOT INFORMATIONThe pilot held a commercial pilot certificate, with ratings for airplane multiengine land and instrument airplane. He also held a private pilot certificate, with a rating for airplane single engine land. The pilot's most recent FAA second class medical certificate was issued on May 2, 2006. The pilot's logbook was not recovered; however, he had completed a "Pilot Information Form" on May 6, 2006, when he attended a flight school for recurrency training in his Mitsubishi MU-2B-40. According to that form, the pilot had accumulated a total flight experience of approximately 3,800 hours; of which, 3,400 hours were in multiengine land airplanes, and 1,700 hours in the same make and model as the accident airplane. The pilot also reported about 400 hours of actual instrument experience. AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe airplane was maintained under a manufacturer's approved inspection program (MAIP). The airplane's most recent inspection was completed on May 3, 2006. The inspection complied with a 100-hour/1 year and 200-hour/1 year inspection, in accordance with the Mitsubishi Maintenance Requirement Manual. During the inspection, corrosion was removed from the landing gear area and wing skin. At the time of the inspection, the airplane had accumulated approximately 3,802 hours of operation. METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONAbout 0736, the pilot telephoned the Lansing, Michigan automated flight service station (AFSS). The pilot stated that he had a flight plan on file for a trip to Bloomington, Indiana, and continuing on. He then requested the outlook for Bloomington in 2 hours, and for South Florida in the afternoon, as he was heading to the Bahamas. The weather briefer provided the pilot with advisories to Bloomington, the Bloomington forecast, and a forecast for South Florida. The forecast for South Florida included scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 12,000 feet, with isolated thunderstorms and rain showers becoming widely scattered by 1400. The pilot indicated that he did not need any additional weather information. At the time of the accident, convective SIGMET 39E was in effect for the route the pilot was flying. The convective SIGMET was for an area of thunderstorms moving 270 degrees at 15 knots, with tops to FL 450. According to weather radar data, at FL 280, where the pilot reported that he was unable to maintain altitude, weak to moderate weather radar echoes existed. Very strong to intense weather radar echoes were seen about FL 200 (for further information, see Meteorological Factual Report in the public docket).The reported weather at an airport about 8 miles east of the accident site, at 1250, was: wind from 100 degrees at 9 knots, gusting to 15 knots; visibility 10 miles; scattered clouds at 2,500 feet; scattered clouds at 5,000 feet; temperature 84 degrees F; dew point 71 degrees F; altimeter 29.89 inches Hg.WRECKAGE INFORMATIONThe main wreckage came to rest upright in a wildlife refuge, oriented about a 060-degree magnetic heading. Both wings had separated from the airframe, but remained attached to each other through the center wing section, and were located about 1/2-mile south of the main wreckage. The vertical stabilizer remained attached to the airframe, but the rudder had separated. The left and right horizontal stabilizers had separated; the left stabilizer was located near the main wreckage, and the right stabilizer was found near the wings. The cockpit and cabin area were crushed, and imbedded several feet into the ground. No horizontal ground scars were observed near the main wreckage, consistent with a vertical impact. The landing gear was observed in the retracted position. Flight control continuity for the elevator and rudder were confirmed from the cockpit controls to their respective bellcranks near the point of separation. Left and right wing spoiler control continuity was confirmed from the cockpit to the wing center section (mixer). Rudder and elevator trim control continuity was confirmed from the cockpit, through four trim cables (two each), to the broom-straw separations near the rear of the airplane. The wreckage was reexamined after the wings, engines, horizontal stabilizers, and rudder were recovered. The outboard section of the left wing had separated about 5 feet from the wing root, and the left wingtip fuel tank had also separated from the left wing. The outboard section of left wing and left wingtip fuel tank were found about 1/8-mile south of the right wing and inboard section of left wing. The left engine remained attached to the left wing, and was removed for examination. Due to impact damage, the propeller could only be rotated approximately five degrees; however, rotation was observed on the third stage turbine rotor when the propeller was rotated. The first stage compressor impeller was intact, and no leading edge damage was observed on the compressor blades. Rotational scoring was noted on the third stage turbine blade tip shroud. All four propeller blades remained attached to the propeller hub. The blades appeared in the feathered position, with no rotational damage noted. The right wing remained intact, except for the right wingtip fuel tank that had separated. The right wingtip fuel tank was found next to the right wing, consistent with impact damage separation. The right engine remained attached to the right wing, and was removed for examination. Due to impact damage, the propeller could not be rotated. The first stage compressor impeller was intact, and no leading edge damage was observed on the compressor blades. Rotational scoring was noted on the third stage turbine blade tip shroud. All four propeller blades remained attached to the propeller hub. The blades appeared in the feathered position, with no rotational damage noted. The right horizontal stabilizer remained attached through the center section, and was bent upward approximately 45 degrees. The left horizontal stablizer had separated near the root. The elevator trim tab remained attached to the left horizontal stabilizer. The lower portion of the rudder had separated and was recovered about 1/4-mile southwest of the stabilizer. The upper portion of the rudder was not recovered. MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONAn autopsy was performed on the pilot by the St. Johns, Putnam, and Flagler Counties Medical Examiner's Office, St. Augustine, Florida. Toxicological testing was conducted on the pilot at the FAA Toxicology Accident Research Laboratory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Review of the toxicology report revealed:"...28 (mg/dL, mg/hg) ETHANOL detected in Urine.44 (mg/dL, mg/hg) ETHANOL detected in Muscle.81 (mg/dL, mg/hg) ETHANOL detected in Brain.1 (mg/dL, mg/hg) N-PROPANOL detected in Urine.3 (mg/dL, mg/hg) N-PROPANOL detected in Brain.7 (mg/dL, mg/hg) N-BUTANOL detected in Muscle.1 (mg/dL, mg/hg) N-BUTANOL detected in Brain......2.04 (pmol/nmol) SEROTONIN METABOLITE RATIO detected in Urine." Putrefaction was noted as "yes," and the report also noted that a seratonin metabolite ratio value < 15 pmol/nmol is not consistent with ethanol ingestion. TESTS AND RESEARCHThe left wing front and rear attachment fittings, right wing front attachment fitting, stabilizer left and right attachment fittings, left wing tip tank front and rear attachment fittings, and a Sperry RT-400 weather radar were retained for further examination. Metallurgical examination of all attachment fittings at the Safety Board's Materials Laboratory revealed fracture features consistent with overstress, with no preexisting cracks or corrosion was detected (for more information, see Materials Laboratory Factual Report in the public docket). Due to impact damage, the Sperry RT-400 weather radar was unable to be powered and tested. The power switch was found in the "ON" position, with intensity set to maximum, the gain set to maximum, and the antenna tilt control set approximately 4 degrees up. A personal digital camera was recovered from the wreckage. A SanDisk Ultra II 2.0 SD flash memory card was removed from the camera, and forwarded to the Safety Board's Vehicle Recorder Laboratory for examination. There was no evidence of damage to the card, which would preclude data extraction; however, attempts to access data were unsuccessful (for more information, see Special Study in the public docket). AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLThe Safety Board formed an ATC group, and convened at the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center on September 5, 2006. The group interviewed facility managers and controllers, reviewed radio communications, and reviewed radar data. Review of ATC procedures revealed that traffic separation was a controller's primary duty, and weather information was required to be provided when workload permitted. The ATC controller provided a broadcast regarding SIGMET 39E. In addition, the ATC controller was actively soliciting and approving pilot deviations for weather. Conversations between the accident pilot and the ATC controller were consistent with the accident airplane's weather radar functioning, the accident pilot being aware of the weather over Ormond Beach, and the possibility that the accident airplane's weather radar was providing more information than the ATC weather radar.The ATC facility was equipped with NEXRAD-derived weather displays. The weather displays had four settings: below FL 240, between FL 240 and FL 330, above FL 330, and from sea level to FL 600. At the time of the accident, the ATC controller's weather display indicated weak to moderate echoes above FL 240. Very strong to intense weather radar echoes existed about FL 200; however, the ATC controller did not have his weather display set to that altitude as he was not controlling traffic at that altitude (for more information, see ATC Group Chairman's Factual Report in the public docket). ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONThe wreckage was released to a representative of the owner's insurance company on August 29, 2006.

Former GOPer who ran failed Democratic bid resurfaces in state House race
By ABDON M. PALLASCH Political Reporter email@example.com June 18, 2012 6:56PM

Updated: July 20, 2012 6:17AM
Remember Tom Swiss — the white former executive director of the Cook County Republican Party who ran for state representative as a Democrat, and who, instead of using his own photo on his billboards, ran a photo of a black construction worker in the predominantly African-American district?
He's back.
Swiss' notary seal shows up on the petitions of the new Republican candidate in the district, Kimberly Small, the one who posted envelope-pushing jokes mocking First Lade Michelle Obama on her Facebook page.
But, No, Swiss said Monday, he has not converted back from Democrat to Republican — he is just a notary willing to notarize petitions for candidates in either party willing to take on the system.
"I will sign petitions, and I will notarize petitions for either party," Swiss said. "It's not a particularly ideological battle — it's a battle against corruption I'm fighting."
Swiss will not have any further involvement in Small's campaign, he said.
It's not clear how good a job Small's supporters did gathering signatures to put a Republican on the ballot in the district which includes the West Side and parts of the Near Northwest Side.
Twin challenges to her petitions say Small did not gather enough valid signatures. The challenges were filed by Ald. Jason C. Ervin (28th), who is also the Democratic ward committeeman, and a voter tied to third-party candidate Lance Tyson
Small needed 500 signatures of voters from the district. She turned in 1,300 signatures, but many of those are from people who live outside the district and only about 320 are valid, according to attorneys working against her.
All this is happening in the district where federal prosecutors say the incumbent state representative, Derrick Smith, took a $7,000 bribe in exchange for sponsoring a bill to help a day-care center.
Democratic officials led by Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.), urged voters to support Smith over Swiss in the Democratic primary in March, assuring them that Smith would drop out after the primary.
Smith beat Swiss in a landslide and decided he would not drop out.
So the Democratic committeemen then slated Tyson to run as a third-party candidate with the Democrats' blessing.
Tyson is a municipal bond lawyer who worked as one of Mayor Daley's legislative liaisons in Springfield for five years, then spent a year and a half as Cook County Board President Todd Stroger's chief of staff.
The Democrats don't want a viable Republican on the ballot messing up their plan to replace a tainted Democrat with a Democrat running under the banner of the "Unity Party."
Small sells private jets for a living. She could not be reached for comment Monday but her attorney predicted she would survive the ballot challenge.
"She, herself, door-to-door collected 280 signatures, so we're feeling confident we have 500-plus valid signatures," said Small's attorney Charles M. Watts.
Attorney Jim Nally is representing Ervin on his challenge. Attorney Mike Kasper — the lawyer for the state Democratic Party led by state House Speaker Michael Madigan and who kept Rahm Emanuel on the mayoral ballot — filed the other challenge.
Ervin backed a rival candidate instead of Tyson to take on Smith and was reluctant to commit to supporting Smith. By agreeing to let the challenge to Small be filed in his name, Ervin apparently is signaling that he is on-board with the other Democratic committeemen in the district backing Tyson.

Student Aid & Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA)
The Student Aid & Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009 is a bill that was introduced by the U.S. House of Representatives that was designed to subsidize private loans and reduce the interest on federal loans in order to make it easier for families to apply for college financial aid. The passing of this bill greatly increased federal scholarship, grant programs, and funding for historically black colleges and universities.
Funds allocated from this bill allow for HBCU's to establish or strengthen their physical plants, financial management, academic resources, and endowment-building capacity. Activities include the development of a Nursing Program, expansion of student support services, and development of initiatives around University's assessment and accreditation.
Below are the individual programs and their director's that are encompassed under SAFRA:
Activity A – Developing a Learning Resource Center
Activity Director: Dr. Patricia Fullmer, Ed.D.
The mission of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) is to increase student persistence and retention towards a four-year college degree. The Learning Resource Center provides academic and academic-related support to aid students in the transition to college life and in the attainment of their university degree. Tutoring has been shown as one of the top three best practices in retention and the tutors of the Learning Resource Center strive to provide the most effective services in order to enable students to achieve a four-year degree.
The Learning Resource Center is committed to assisting the Lincoln community in building a culture of academic excellence. The Learning Resource Center provides individual and small group tutoring, tutoring laboratories, peer tutoring, placement testing, a computer lab, student development workshops, and hosts the Act 101 program. Tutoring services include: peer tutoring, online tutoring, drop-in and appointment tutoring with professional tutors credentialed by the International Tutoring Program Certification of the College Reading and Learning Association, and tutoring laboratories for success courses in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Dr. Fullmer earned her doctorate in educational innovation and leadership at Wilmington University, a master's in counseling psychology at Temple University, and an undergraduate degree in anthropology at Temple University. She has taught courses in psychology at the college level, and worked as a counselor in behavioral health, middle school and high school.

Activity D – Establishing a Nursing Program
Activity Director: Dr. Shelley Johnson, Ed.D.
Lincoln University of Pennsylvania has dedicated funds for the development of a nursing program. A nursing program at the University will help to remedy issues related to the nursing shortage, the increased health needs in our society, contribute to research and scholarship in the nursing profession, and to increase the numbers of qualified nurses from diverse backgrounds.
Establishing a nursing program assists Lincoln University in furthering its goal to decrease minority health disparities by increasing the diversity and numbers of nurses in the workforce. Workforce diversity may: 1. improve patients' trust for healthcare providers when patients see and know that the nursing profession is inclusive for minorities and people of all socioeconomic backgrounds; 2. Improve the quality of culturally care patients ; and 3. Increase patient access to care. Having nurses from minority and various socioeconomic backgrounds increases population specific needs identification, which can lead to greater advocacy, leadership, and policy development in nursing, healthcare, and health policy.
Dr. Shelley A. Johnson received her baccalaureate degree from The University of Pennsylvania, School of Nursing in 1997. She received a scholarship from the National Black Nurses Association to attend The Pennsylvania State University is 1999 where she received a Master's of Science in Community Health Nursing. She completed her doctoral education at the University of Phoenix with a focus on educational leadership.
Her specialties are in education, leadership, mental health, and community health. She is certified as a staff developer, a nurse executive, and as a comprehensive systematic reviewer.

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Maryland Transit Administration officials say a police officer shot a man in the foot during a confrontation at the Mondawmin Mall subway center in Baltimore.
MTA spokesman Terry Owens says when an officer stopped a car that had pulled into a bus loop Tuesday afternoon, the driver jumped out and started running away. He says a second officer running toward the scene told the man to stop and when he didn't, she shot him. Owens says the officer feared for her life.
Owens says 33-year-old Eugene Doose, who was treated at Sinai Hospital and released, faces charges.
Baltimore police are now investigating. The MTA officer is on paid administrative leave.

Boxing day is a religious holiday in Great Britain. It is the day after Christmas. If I understand this celebration correctly, it follows Christmas. It is a second thought. It allows Christians time to honor those outside of their immediate families. Christmas day has been taken over with family dinner and gift giving and the day after belongs to those who also are getting gifts from their employees, etc. tBoxing Day! How interesting. This is not a holiday here in the United States, but, I celebrated it for years, and never knowing it. I celebrated it by always taking down the Christmas tree, boxing up the decorations, eating cold turkey and what else was left over. I was hasty to say the least.
It was a day of insight, too. Christmas was over and the 'magic' had disappeared and I knew that once again I had been taken. Those were the feelings when my children were small and I had bought too much because I could not stand the thought that they would not find their heart's desire under the tree.
My heart was in the right place but my mind would be somewhat displaced on these 'boxing' days. But, I grew up and learned the real meaning of Christmas and learned not to expect from myself the impossible.
Nowadays, with only myself the day after Christmas (I am at some other home on Christmas day), I no longer celebrate 'Boxing' day, not in the same way. It is so much more reasonable to enjoy the precious moments associated with it and to be thankful for the new birth of Christianity. January, to some extent, seems like boxing month to me. If I am off course spouting off about this new found knowledge and if, in my ignorance, I offend sensibilities, I am sorry. Thanks to whomever for introducing me to Boxing Day.
An update to this article (August, 17, 2008) I've not been happy with passing off this important Christmas celebrations as of small importance since I had scant knowledge of it when attempting to write about. I have even forgotten why I thought it was even important to write about something I knew little of - being an American and not a British subject - but since I did, I now think it is important to undo a little of my ignorance.
I asked Google for advice. There I found that Boxing Day was a day to honor their servants who had to work on Christmas. As the servants prepared to leave for holidays with their families their servants took boxes of Christmas Goodies home with them. I approve of that. That certainly makes sense. At least they were not forgotten. Supposedly it originated in the middle Ages and although there are many theories as to exactly how it began, boxes played a role in the celebration.
Some think it is the boxes in Church where worshippers dropped in coins for the poor people; others say it was to honor those who had been extra charitable during the previous years. Whatever, December, 26th is the feast day of Saint Stephen who was the first Martyr. He was stoned to death for refusing to go against the Teaching of his Savior. He was one of the original deacons of the Christian Church ordained by the Apostles to care of the helpless and the needy.
Boxing Day makes a lot of sense as it is observed today. It is the day to honor all those who have served us in some way, mail carriers, doormen, porters, and of course all servants. Since it is a British custom it is also celebrated in most areas settled by the British - Canada, Australia and New Zealand. (America is not included and that is understandable, America was settled by many countries.)

Cell Phone Takes a Bullet for New Orleans Man
The Times-Picayune reports that a New Orleans man by the name of Ronald Richard was mowing the lawn last Saturday when a stray .45 caliber bullet hit him in the chest. But somehow, instead of killing him, the bullet hit his Motorola RAZR; the phone was destroyed, and Richard was fine. The bullet may have come from the woods near Richard's home.
Making the story even more miraculous, Richard normally clips his cell phone to the hip pocket of his overalls. On this particular Saturday, however, he hooked it to the chest of the overalls just over his heart.
"Something hit me in the chest really hard," said Richard. When he removed his sweater and opened his phone's case, a .45-caliber bullet fell out of it. "I don't look at any of this as coincidence," Richard said Wednesday. "I look at this as God telling me to put my cell phone in that pocket, and I'm grateful and humbled."
There's one thing that doesn't make sense, though: We thought God used an iPhone? [From: Nola.com]

There are four big reasons why Hawai'i is an ideal electric vehicle market: no real range anxiety, a lot of eco-minded citizens, current high energy costs, lots of solar potential. We've been saying as much since 2006. Since then, there has been some progress made: a partnership with Better Place in 2008 and the first public charging station that opened up earlier this year. This year's First Hawaiian International Auto Show shows that the electric car movement is still moving forward in the islands. For example, a sponsor is the Hawaiian Electric Co., which will be on hand "touting the coming age of electrics." A Tesla Roadster and a Mini E will also be on display. Good signs in a state that is dependent on petroleum for 90 percent of its energy. The Honolulu Advertiser says that one prediction estimates up to 10,000 of the state's million vehicles could be electric in five years. In ten years, that already ambitious number could climb to 43,000. Yowza.
Some groups have been working to bring electric vehicles to Hawai'i a long time. We posted a two-part series on those efforts here and here.
