Thornton Police Department spokesperson Matt Barnes says three people - two adults and a teen - were walking east along the shoulder in the 3500 block of 168th Avenue around 1:45 p.m. Saturday when a Toyota pick-up veered off the right side of the road, hitting the people.
Two adult men died at the scene, Barnes says, and a male teen was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition.
Their names have not been released.
Barnes says the driver, 33-year-old Michael James Grennan, has been taken into custody for investigation of careless driving involving death. Barnes says the preliminary investigations indicate Grennan may have been distracted by a cellphone. They do not suspect speed, alcohol or drugs to be factors in the crash.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, I am also of Israeli nationality, yes i have 2 passports! I now live and work outside D.C. in Alexandria, VA. I am a laid back, outgoing, and easy to get a long with kind of guy. One of my biggest passions in life is music. I write music and am a drummer in a local band. To pay the bills though i have an engineering job for the government. I also love traveling, and am always up for visiting different countries. The world has so much to offer and I would love to see as much as I can. The weekends are great for spending time outdoors, exploring the city, bar hopping, etc. Although I am quite content sometimes to just throw on the TV and watch a movie. I also love food, as in trying new restaurants, different cuisines and especially cooking and smoking my own BBQ. (My brisket is amazing, I must say.) Sports are big in my life and really enjoy going to a good sporting event, like a phillies or eagles game to support my team when they are in town (or seeking a game in a visitors park). I've pretty much settled down here in the DC metro area and am looking to meet that great Jewish girl.

Compendia Publications
Formerly a compendium publication covering the entire criminal justice system in Northern Ireland was produced biannually. The aim of this publication --the Digest of Information on the Northern Ireland Criminal Justice System - was to present, in a user-friendly way, a comprehensive picture of key developments and statistics relating to crime and justice in Northern Ireland. The Digest historically drew on information from a variety of statistical and administrative sources, including government departments, statutory agencies and non-statutory organisations.
This publication series, as a biannual compendium covering the entire criminal justice system (CJS) was heavily labour-intensive. More crucially also, the information contained within it rapidly became out of date with the publication of calendar year information in the spring of each year and the publication of financial year information typically in the summer or autumn. As a result virtually as soon as each Digest was published (normally in April and October) the information would be superseded.
Outcome of User Consultation
Publication of the series was halted temporarily in 2012 and this afforded the opportunity for a detailed review of user needs. First a small-scale exercise was undertaken in May 2013 primarily with some external users to try to get a feel for their priorities/needs on the publication and how it was used by them. One of the common themes to come through from these consultations was the desirability of speedy access to up-to-date information, with an emphasis on easy navigability and summary headline information. This emphasis was mirrored in further findings with senior Departmental officials in a range of interviews undertaken in September 2013.
Taking on board the substantive findings of the previous reviews, an online survey was then undertaken using both Departmental and non-Departmental users in November/December 2013. The full results of this survey (which had 64 respondents) are available in the attached document. In essence the survey strongly emphasised the importance of timeliness of the data (80% of respondents saying this was very important) and ease of access (59% saying this was very important). When asked if a new format for the Digest involving a much shorter Key Findings document with web-links to the original data sources would better suit user needs, 58% of respondents said it would (with a further 40% reporting either no difference or 'don't know').
- Findings from Digest of Information on the NI Criminal Justice System Consultation (PDF 39 KB) (PDF 39 KB)
Accordingly, it was decided to seek approval for change in format of the Digest to put in place a web-based procedure which would meet user needs more effectively.
The National Statistician was notified to this effect and responded in June 2014 raising no specific objections to the decision to no longer publish these Official Statistics. The cessation was also reported to the Committee for Official Statistics.
Web-links to the source statistical publications which mostly went to make up the contents of the Digest are now available on our website at the page Digest of Statistical Web-Links:

My neighbour has just come out of contract after a year with Virgin, and was not on a great deal. He had a single VHD box, phone and 10meg BB paying about 45 month.
I told him to call retentions, and they just gave him a free TIVO as the main box, upgraded him to the SHUB and upped his BB to 30meg, and reduced his bil by £4 a month and no installation charge.
Just call them, you might be surprised.

I was at a tournament, my friend from my club showed up. He said he was worried about his car, Because he parked it on the street. where there was 2 hour maximum parking. He was afraid they might tow it.
So I said there's a parking lot not too far away, I could show him where it is. So he said okay, and we walked out of the hotel and started walking.
And talking.
And walking. And talking.
After several blocks, about 15 minutes later, he gets mad and says "How far is this parking lot??"
I said "What are you talking about?? I thought we were walking to your car! I'm following you!!"
And he said "I'm following you!"
Here we were crossing streets, turning corners, and neither one of us was leading.
I also thought you were walking to the car!
Heh, that's funny.
I bet it feels presumptuous to tell a GM and former US Champion how to play chess.
Maybe he was attempting a swindle. If the opponent doesn't catch it, you didn't do it. :-P
Very true. Polgar didn't call Kasparov a cheat, when he did it. Did she?

I played a tournament in manhattan, my opponent moved a piece, let go of it, paused for about 5 seconds, realized it was a blunder that dropped a piece, and then said "jadoube" and moved it back.
I argued with him about it but he didn't want to admit that he cheated. I also didn't have any proof so I just let it slide. Eventually I got outplayed, and would have lost the game, but then he offered me a draw.
He then said "Are we even?" And I thought to myself: sure, jerk...
I saw something similar to that in another match, where this guy moved a piece to a square, paused for about 3 seconds and then said "adjust" and moved it back (without taking his hand off it). I think this is still cheating, but nobody could prove that he did it - he lost the game anyway :)
I wouldn't allow people to do that to me in a tournament. I'd signal the TD and explain the situation. If the person denies it, then they are lying in addition to breaking the rules. It would be on record with the TD even if no ruling was made, thus, the next time a complaint is made, they will not be able to lie about it successfully.
We were asked to leave the tournament room and the beachhouse burned to the ground. All games (blitz) were declared a draw. Last round. Noordwijk 1977.
I had a similar experience. I was playing someone in a very small tournament run by a high schooler. My opponent, a nice middle aged man eventually blundered a piece. With a very friendly tone, he said something along the lines to, "That's not a good way to end a game. Can I take that back?" As I was 10 years old, I didn't have enough sense to disagree so he took it back and eventually outplayed me. When it was mate in 1, he offered a draw.
I thought as long as he is not removing his touch he can still change where it goes?
He let go of the piece, and then moved an entirely different piece :)
Yes, he can move it to a different square as long as he didn't let go of it... but since he didn't say "adjust" or "j'adoube" BEFORE touching the pice, he still has to move that particular piece.
If the move that he started to make (without taking his hand off the piece) was a capture... in other words, if he has touched both his own piece and also one of yours... then he MUST make that capture, regardless of the fact that he didn't let go of his own piece.
Strangest thing to happen in an OTB tournament? I actually won a game.
I'll start off by saying this was not my proudest moment and I'm not terribly proud of it. This was the last round of an OTB tournament in North Carolina. If I won this game I would win my section. Except that I am getting trounced. I have my opponent's queen, but in return he has 3 minor pieces and a rook. This will not end well.
Then I look over at the clock, and realize he's running very short of time. It's 40/2 then G/60, and he's only made 39 moves and his flag is about to drop. He's really scrutinizng the position and searching for the perfect move; he seems oblivious to his clock situation. I watch his flag fall, then call it. He says, "I've made 40 moves though." I show him my scoresheet, whcih very clearly shows he has only made 39 moves. He shows me his scoresheet, which is a complete mess: chickenscratch writing, scratchouts everywhere, and he's using descriptive notation to boot. We stop the clock and get the TD. He plays through each of our scoresheets, and upholds my claim. My opponent is burning holes through my forehead. I can tell he wants to say, "So you wanted the win that badly?" Yes. Yes I did.
I can't say I feel great about winning this way, especially in a game that I was supposed to lose. But then, managing your clock is part of the game. Managing your scoresheet so that it's readable is also part of the game.
I wonder if that's what happened to Ivanchuk.

south park afghan finished:sukigirl74
What's open in my Firefox tabs today? Here's what's open in my Firefox tabs today:
This hilarious Tunisian crochet South Park afghan (above). I wish they were looking at each other, a la The Brady Bunch.
There's a great article in the Etsy Storque about photo styling. It's geared toward product photography (for sellers), but it's just as relevant to plain-old project photography (for crafters like us). (Big news from Etsy yesterday. Also, I second Robert's recommendation of Deep Economy. It's a great read, despite it's less-than-enticing title. If you look closely, I think you might be able to spot my copy of the book in the winter issue of Interweave Crochet.)
Annette has opened her pattern shop! (En francais, aussi.)
Check out this way cool postcard project [via Murketing].
Finally, Natalie at CRAFT blogged about the enormous crochet art on the walls of Urban Outfitters HQ.
We're starting to really gear up to go to press on the spring issue of the magazine. Putting my head back to PDFs now. (It's nice to be thinking of spring.)
Thanks for the photo styling link, I need help there. :-)
I just bought and read your book Crochet Me. I love it, all of it; what you write, the way you write it, the illustrations and most of the patterns.(I now have to leave kntting for a while for my new love chrocheting..) Thank you!!
Love the idea of the Brady Bunch....too funny!
Just love it! Glad to see others with a sense of humor! (and a lot of talent!)

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners has awarded Thomas More College initial accreditation of its business programs.
Unlike other institutions, the ACBSP separately and fully accredited the accountancy program separately from the business program. Many business programs and accountancy programs in the United States are not professionally accredited.
"I am so impressed with our faculty who positioned Thomas More College for this accreditation. Our business program is already well known for its superior quality, and now it has been recognized on a national level. When an institution has top-notch business programs as we do at Thomas More College, accrediting agencies affirm that fact," said President David A. Armstrong.
Each year, approximately 115 students graduate with business degrees and 65 students graduate with MBAs.
"Thomas More College has shown its commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process," said ACBSP Director of Accreditation Steve Parscale, who presented the Certificate of Initial Accreditation to TMC's Larry Byerly at the 2014 ACBSP Annual Conference in Chicago. "This accreditation is evidence that Thomas More College is committed to providing the highest quality business education for their students."
Byerly, business professor at Thomas More since 1997, led the way for this accreditation.
"I am so proud and happy to inform the public that Thomas More College offers a program that meets the stringent requirements that accompany national business program accreditation. It is a testament to the faculty and staff of Thomas More College that providing such a program has such a high priority. The college and department will continue its journey of continuous improvement to provide the best possible program for the future career successes of students," said Byerly.
Professor of accounting and CPA Steve Flynn said, "I am grateful that the accountancy program at Thomas More College is now among those high ranking programs across the country that have achieved the accreditation status … On a practical side, accreditation may, in some cases, facilitate students' application process for the CPA examination and open doors for additional scholarship funding."

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- Officials are looking for the suspect who ran from an accident after striking another car late Wednesday night in Jackson Township.

Schreffler was taken to Akron General Hospital with minor injuries. She was later released.
The driver of the Cruze left the scene of the crash on foot.
The suspect has not been found and the crash remains under investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Ohio State Highway Patrol's Canton post.

Cool weather fans had a real treat this weekend, but the trick may be on them come Halloween.

The high temperature in Orlando for Halloween is expected to be 86 degrees.

text: Hello all. I posted something a while back about a dial up password and it seemed no one could help me. I have been looking all over the place and found nothing. I did however come up with this idea. Putting people I want to have access in through the modem line by adding them in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. (ex. johndoe * passwd * )Also adding the lines require-pap refuse-chap to ppoe-server-options and taking out the login entry. BUT, I can still log in as any user on the system even though I thought I only gave access to johndoe. I just don't get it. I hope someone knows. Thanks in advance.

On 6 April 2011 the International Monetary Fund is meeting in Washington DC to discuss for the first time how to spend a $3 billion windfall from selling gold and lending more money since the financial crisis.

The National Conferences on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), established in 1987, is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of young scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all corners of the academic curriculum. Through this annual conference, NCUR creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement, provides models of exemplary research and scholarship, and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education. In addition to providing a forum for student presentations and performances through its annual conference, NCUR also:
University of Minnesota UROP students often present the results of their work at this conference. It is typically held in April. Abstracts and requests for financial assistance are made during the preceding fall. Financial assistance generally covers all travel and conference expenses. Full details about presenting at this conference can be obtained from your UROP coordinator.
In 2016, NCUR will be held at the University of North Carolina in Asheville, from April 7 - 9, 2016.
Previous conferences have been held at the University of Eastern Washington, North Carolina at Asheville, the California Institute of Technology, the University of Utah, the University of Montana at Missoula, the Virginia Military Institute, and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, among many others.

A Texas mother says she's outraged after learning that her 7-year-old son's teacher makes students "pay" to use the bathroom. "I was absolutely appalled," Sonja Cross told NBC 5. "I could not believe it." The J.O. Davis Elementary teacher requires students to pay for trips to the toilet with "Boyd Bucks," fake money the first-year instructor uses to reward the children for good behavior. Cross said she found out about the unusual system after her son wet his pants during school because he didn't have enough "Boyd Bucks" for a bathroom run.Read more »
Under the "Smart ID" program, ID badges have been issued with a tracking chip, which students must wear when attending school. The school badges, worn like a necklace, contain a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip and links to their social security number. This allows the school to track the student's location after leaving campus and for as long as the badge is on the student's person.Read more »

How To Repair Raw Denim Holes & Blowouts via Darning
Without a doubt, one of the biggest annoyances one has to endure in their raw denim journey is the multitude of rips, tears, holes, and all-encompassing blowouts. What may first seem like a negligible knick gradually grows into a minor hole (or large hole, in some cases), before reaching the final stage of a fully fledged blowout.
How should one deal with this inevitable situation? Among many repairing methods, the best option is to have your denim darned. Compared to hand stitching a patch over the hole, darning involves weaving (and blending) in new threads.
Unfortunately, as a special darning machine is required for this type of repair, you will need to seek out a specialist. We won't walk through the entire process itself, but Andrew Chen, co-owner of 3sixteen and Self Edge NYC, gave an excellent and complete run-down below:

Most people visit the opticians with a view to having their eyesight checked. But for a Liverpool man the appointment led to a hospital admission later that day and a cancer diagnosis the following week.
Paul Rice explains, "I had been feeling unusually tired for a few days which was unlike me and I was also experiencing some light-headedness." At a check-up the optometrist's camera inspection of the retina revealed some haemorrhaging which he suspected could be linked with diabetes. He made an urgent referral to allow Paul to go to his GP straight away. The doctor ordered blood tests to be done and later that day the results emerged showing dangerously low levels of red and white blood cells as well as a severely diminished platelet count.
An urgent telephone call instructed Paul to go immediately to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital Medical Assessment Unit where he was given several pints of blood before being admitted on to a ward. One week later a bone marrow biopsy revealed that Paul was not suffering from diabetes. He was, in fact, diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer called MDS commonly associated with Leukemia. He was told he faced months in hospital and would be given intensive chemotherapy and other aggressive treatments designed to try to eradicate the cancerous cells in the bone marrow and restore his blood counts and overall health.
Paul underwent a year of gruelling therapy with and being self employed meant Paul lost several thousand pounds of pay whilst in hospital and his family and friends forked out hundreds of pounds in car parking, food and other items," Funnily enough I had an application form for Medicash in my briefcase for a while and I had fully intended to join but never got round to it. If I had been a paid up member I could have claimed not only for the eye test but also over £2000 in inpatient benefit. The cost of being in hospital is high both emotionally and financially and having a cash plan definitely would have helped. I am a member now though."

The Paleo trend is growing. I recently went to Southern Florida and was asked a few times what I did for a living. When I told people I run a Paleo diet meal planning website, some of them actually knew what that meant! At Paleo Plan, part of our mission is to spread the good Paleo word so that even more people around the globe will know what Paleo is, just like they know what "vegetarian" or "gluten free" is.
One way to foster that is by giving the community another place to chat about things, ask questions, and LEARN. With knowledge comes confidence and we want you to be confident enough to tell your friends and family about this way of eating.
Thusly, we created the forums. When you have questions, go there. When you have comments or make radical (or not so radical) observations about your Paleo-ness, then write them there. You may not think you're so special (we do, though), but you ARE in that people can learn from your mistakes and get inspired by your triumphs. Even if that triumph is as small as figuring out the prodigious usefulness of a crockpot.
So introduce yourself over there, and start talking it out, folks. We'll be right there with you, clarifying things that need to be clarified… and breaking up nonsensical arguments if the need arises (and I can be mean when I want to be).
You want to know how the meal plan or ebook at Paleo Plan is working for other people to see if you want to try it yourself? Visit the forums. You want to brag about your astounding weight loss and health recuperation? Please, visit the forums. Anything else Paleo or Faileo on your mind? Go.. you get the picture.
We hope to see you there!

Hi… I'm doing ok with a paleo diet. I went on it when i could not control hunger and sugar cravings, especially in the evenings. Here is the problem. I STILL crave CHOCOLATE like crazy. But only at times. I can walk down the chocolate isle in the grocery store and look at the chocolate, and have NO interest. But I can leave the house at midnight to walk down to the corner store because i soooo want a chocolate bar. Just pure chocolate, nothing else. Sometimes it happens in the afternoon too.
Also, in a paleo diet, can I squeak in a bit of quinoi from time to time?

Communicating Skin Care Benefits to Consumers
By: Katerina Steventon, PhD, and Steve Baron
Posted: August 26, 2013, from the September 2013 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 2 of 3
KS: It is important for the skin care industry to encourage consumers to consider themselves worth cosmetic expenditure. Skin care should be seen as a healthy activity rather than a frivolous vanity, and the industry has to avoid offering consumers the deception that aging can be stopped when it can just be experienced differently. The preventive role of skin care and good habits are difficult to enforce, and it is important to start teaching children early.
Performance Benchmarks
KS: British consumers want to resolve all concerns, often without understanding the cost and risk involved. Cosmetic procedures, including surgery and injectables are a fast growing business, with £1.3 million procedures bringing in £2.3 billion in the U.K. in 2010. However, the recent implant crisis shows that the risks have been downgraded and there are issues with realistic consumer expectations. Skin care can never be as effective as radical surgery. Airbrushing and enhanced images that mimic the effect of surgery are false promises and are damaging to the skin care industry. The realistic targets include matching the efficacy of retinoic acid, the benchmark prescription therapy for fine wrinkles, and endorsement of skin care routines that deliver noticeable, small differences in reducing skin concerns.
SB: Recent agreements between Cosmetic, Toiletry & Perfumery Association (CTPA) and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the U.K. have clarified the use of pre- and post-production changes in advertising images. While consumers may compare their skin care to surgery, a review of consumer expectations of "surgical" procedures suggested that people prefer subtle alteration. This may be supported by L'Oréal's Laser Renew, a product presumably trialed versus laser resurfacing, a less invasive form of "surgical" intervention.
KS: The U.K. consumer responds to media coverage of new launches. A good example is the third party endorsement of Boots Protect & Perfect Serum on the BBC's Horizon in March 2007. The trial has been critiqued by the scientific community; however, the consumer demand brought Boots significant commercial success at the time. Two papers published since the TV program show a significant increase in fibrillin-1 deposition in six months and clinical improvement in facial wrinkles after 12 months (6 month, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial with a further 6 month open phase) compared to the vehicle and vehicle projection, respectively. This was the first clinically proven product that brought a step change in consumers' expectations.
SB: Cosmetic [product developers] have a long history of utilizing dermatologist's view of the processes in skin and its changes with age; however, the prevailing view of dermatologists is that cosmetics only providing temporary improvement in skin dryness or protect from UV damage using high SPF products. Accepting this dialogue requires agreement on standards of proof and scientific methodology, focusing on clinical outcome. Can cosmetic performance be tested in a clinical trial? The choice of placebo for placebo-controlled studies is also a challenge, with no real definition of a cosmetic placebo.
Boots was confident that the Protect & Perfect product could influence some skin aging factors from in vitro studies. This hypothesis was tested in a biopsy study investigating fibrillin expression with positive results that were eventually shown on the BBC program. The goal of this study was not provide clinical proof; the consumer (and press) made this extrapolation. Rather, the biopsy study provided the confidence to go into this clinical trial.
[Product developers] often find themselves in this position with new ingredients from suppliers that are formulated in bland bases. Amidst the surge in use of the Protect & Perfect product, there was some negative reaction. Interestingly, some [conusmers] who had changed from their usual routine to the serum, or started using the serum alone, found that it was not as good as their usual moisturizer. This was not surprising to [product developers] since it had not been formulated as a moisturizer. The serum was intended to deliver a more intense benefit and serve as an adjunct to a moisturizer.
It was clear that the message consumers heard was "the first 'clinically proven moisturizer' rather than the first product to have been tested in this manner. The overall lesson here is the need to ensure that simplifying the communication does not leave some important consumer needs unfulfilled. Education and clear advice at point of sale help this process, which is difficult when a product is selling at a rate of one every 10 seconds.
KS: Other long-term efficacy studies such as a double-blind, randomized, controlled, split face study, a comparison of a skin care product and a prescription treatment and a double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial followed the Boots trial. Some consumers ask for claims substantiated by an independent, blinded, long-term clinical trial with subjective views of the participants and clinical expert grading and objective scientific data obtained by non-invasive measurement. Initially expensive, this strategy drives commercial success. It differentiates between products with similar benefits, which is important in a purchasing environment without a dedicated sales consultant.
SB: I am interested in your statement that some consumers ask for claims substantiated in complex ways. I would suggest that they are looking for increased confidence, and cosmetic products offer the range of "confidence surrogates" that you describe.
This leaves the product developer with the challenge of identifying novel ways of saying the same thing—this product will help improve the signs of aging in your skin. [Product developers] are driven to use complex skin assessment methods that rarely measure the identified cosmetic characteristic directly. In panels, volunteers are often selected by age group even though the particular signs of aging are more relevant. The data is then analyzed with a view to arriving at a population mean effect, when it is known that sub-groups and responses will differ. Using these methods and relating the measure to the cosmetic end-point therefore requires a skill in communication to the consumer. The industry is driven in this direction in part as a response to regulatory controls, where a single model (often a clinical trial) is the most trusted model. [Product developers] need to engage more with the regulators and their advisors to better understand the burden of proof.
KS: The level of evidence required depends on the target consumer group. Sometimes a good case study relates to the consumer better than a clinical trial. Visual clues to "see how a product works" are always important. Irrespective of data, consumers want to test the products for themselves. As demonstrated with the Boots example, a third party endorsement by skin care experts, dermatologists and celebrities (to a lesser degree) is successful. The online community with independent reviews and blogs is also powerful and increasing in popularity.
SB: In the U.K., the CTPA/ASA guidelines are good first reference to understand the differences in required level of evidence. The cosmetics industry is self-regulated, so it must go to some lengths to support claims. The same cannot be said for advice sources on cosmetic products. I cannot be the only developer who has carried out intensive studies on statistically valid numbers of subjects and obtained statistically valid results only to hear that a self-appointed expert on cosmetics has tested the product on 10 people and found it lacking. Underlying such opinion, there may be some useful insights. [Product developers] should know their consumers' needs and engage with "independent" reviewers and consumer advocates to find out more.
Scientific Communication and Training
KS: My recommendation to the skin care industry is to communicate differently with the consumers. Communication of complex scientific issues in the media in a short space of time is difficult, but it is important to focus on claims related to well-being and self-esteem promoting skin health. Educating journalists to write competent, scientifically correct, independent articles is key. Peer group driven advertising and awareness of celebrity overuse means encouraging real personalities to share their experiences in social media. Training staff to increase their expertise and revisiting skin analysis with charts, handheld devices or imaging booths leads to higher compliance, customer loyalty and repeat purchase. This will require consolidation of instrumental methods and devices to compare results easily, for the consumers not to get discouraged by the overall complexity.
SB: Having been involved in such initiatives over the last 10+ years, I can only agree. My experience is that there need to be clear objectives and identification of the target customers and their needs. The major challenge is to create realistic expectations arising from such initiatives. This is particularly important in the context of the devices employed. Some do not directly measure cosmetic concerns. In the past, devices have done little more than provide the store advisor with more credibility, and the time spent using them is rarely rewarded financially. Those adopting such methods need to have clear expectations of the business benefits.

Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

As Army hosted Eastern Michigan today, it was a big weekend on the recruiting front. With several prospects scheduled to be at Michie Stadium for unofficial visits, including Black Knight commit, Patrick Jarin. Come inside GoBlackKnights.com to read some of the feedback from recruits and parents. Jarin, along with his parents made the trip all the way from California and he was not disappointed and shares with GoBlackKnights.com about unofficial visit to Army. "The game was really good," shares future Black Knight and linebacker, Patrick Jarin while describing Army's forth quarter comeback against Eastern Michigan. "I liked it a lot and the fans were getting into it."All the recruits had a chance to share in first hand and up close, the Army football experience. Prior to the game, the prospects spoke with the coaches, followed by being sideline viewers as the Black Knights went through their pre-game warm-ups and then it was to their designated seats. "My parents and I met with Coach Baranik about 10:30am, then I did a one-on-one with Coach Brock for about 15 minutes and he shared with me how excited they are about me," shares linebacker prospect, Taylor Hayes-Leak, who was scheduled to be joined on the visit by teammate Justin Trimble, who is the brother of Army's starting cornerback, Jordan. "He had surgery yesterday, but is doing fine and is expected to make a full recovery."The Trimble connection does not stop there for Leak, who is coached at Bishop O'Connell by Steve Trimble, father of Jordan, Justin and 2007 West Point graduate and former Black Knights' captain, Jeremy. "I saw Coach at the game and he spent some time talking to may parents. What was Leak's thoughts regarding today's contest? "Army over powered Eastern Michigan," states Leak. "It was an intense game and I liked it a lot. I love the campus, the family atmosphere and my parents really loved it. After the game, we went into the locker room, the team took a moment for pray and I celebrated with the team."Thos same feelings were echoed by center prospect, Trevor Rothstein, who made the trip from Illinois. "It was an awesome game
. I just loved the atmosphere," notes Rothstein, who was joined by his parents. Even some of the parents were able to embrace the excitement of an Army football venue. "It was great," shares Rolando Jarin, father of Patrick. "The coaches were very welcoming; unlike some of the other games (schools) we have attended. The game was exciting, it was a huge win for Army and it brings them back. Just driving around campus was special, so much history, sits right on the Hudson River and the change of the colors of the trees makes it very special."However, for some recruits like linebacker - running back, Brandon Walker, there always exist the possibility of a conflict in schedule with most high schools playing on Saturday. "I was invited to attend and would have been there, but we had our homecoming," declares the 6-foot-0, 210 recruit out of York (PA) William Penn Sr. Walker will be setting up his official visit to Army for December. ...More...

BiDil is a combination of two drugs that elevate nitric oxide (NO) levels, which yielded poor results in early trials conducted in a mixed population. NitroMed, based in Lexington, Mass., obtained a new patent on the therapy targeted specifically to African-Americans. The rationale: African-Americans experience double the risk of heart disease than whites, are less responsive to conventional drugs, and exhibit lower physiological NO levels.
With support from the Association of Black Cardiologists and the Congressional Black Caucus, NitroMed launched A-HeFT, a Phase III trial of 1,050 African-American patients. (The company assuaged concerns of patients and physicians, for whom an African-American-only trial rekindled memories of the shameful Tuskegee syphilis experiment.) The trial was halted last summer, as doctors recorded a striking 43-percent reduction in heart attacks in patients taking BiDil (Taylor, A. et al. N Engl J Med 351, 2049; 2004).
BiDil's success has intensified debate about the use of race in genetics. In a genetics workshop last October*, David Goldstein (University College London) said that before approving BiDil the FDA "should first require a very substantial and serious pharmacogenetic effort to see if genetic determinants ... might explain the [population] difference." Goldstein would like to see more research into environmental determinants before pushing a medicine onto a particular ethnic group. "Race for prescription is only an interim solution to carry us through a period of ignorance until we find the underlying causes," Goldstein says.
Manuel Worcel, NitroMed's chief medical officer, acknowledged that not all African-Americans respond to BiDil, and he believes that environmental factors, including smoking, diet, and socioeconomic status, play a key role in the differential symptoms and drug response of African-Americans. Although the company is beginning to analyze DNA samples from heart-disease patients, he bristles at the notion of waiting until such pharmacogenetic data are available. To postpone the use of BiDil, which reduces hospitalizations by close to 40 percent, would be "a disservice" to his patients. Drugs are approved based on clinical events — why should BiDil be an exception?
NitroMed has come under considerable scrutiny for championing BiDil as an "ethnic medicine." Bioethicist Jonathan Karp charged: "Medical researchers may use race as a surrogate to get at biology in drug development, but corporations are using biology as a surrogate to get at race in drug marketing." Many people, however, feel BiDil is long overdue. Howard University bioethicist Charmaine Royal quotes Martin Luther King Jr.: "Of all the injustices that exist, inequality in health is the most shocking and the most inhumane."
