SNELLVILLE - Councilwoman Kelly Kautz announced Monday that she will present an ordinance next month that will outline how and when city officials will regulate emissions from incinerators within the city. The 12-page document is modeled after a similar Pennsylvania ordinance."I respectfully disagree with our city attorney," stated Kautz, referring to city attorney Mike Williams' remarks earlier this month that Snellville officials do not have the authority to regulate emissions coming from the controversial crematory adjacent to the Abington subdivision. According to Kautz, the ordinance she drafted deals with air quality control in the city and does not target crematories or any other specific business. Any business with an incinerator would be subject to emissions control and regulation under Kautz's proposed ordinance. The ordinance will be presented at the Oct. 13 city council meeting. Rezoning of land adjacent to crematory postponed The parcel of land located at 2108 East Main Street in Snellville will not be rezoned until Oct. 13, if it's rezoned at all. The applicant, Marce Hayles, asked to have the .478 acre property rezoned from residential to Office Professional use with the intent to install professional offices and required parking on the lot. Hayles also asked for a variance eliminating the required 50-ft. buffer. Residents of Abington, the neighborhood directly adjacent to the crematory that abuts Abington Drive, spoke in opposition to the buffer reduction. Some even went as far as to imply that the buffer reduction was in some way designed to benefit crematory owners or would somehow allow additional parking on the crematory property. Mayor pro tem Warren Auld suggested that the rezoning be postponed until city staff could determine whether such a large reduction is necessary. The matter was postponed until the Oct. 13 city council meeting. Councilman Robert Jenkins thanked the applicant's representative, Chad Smith, for his patience and understanding. Jenkins remarked that the council was "trying to be sensitive to the neighbors" in light of the recent controversy surrounding the crematory and its residential neighbors.

The Eastside volleyball squad dropped a pair of region matches Thursday to host Hart County 25-12, 25-8 and Morgan County 26-24, 19-25, 24-26."Hart County is a good team and outplayed us hands down," Eastside coach Angie Lewis said. The Lady Eagles fell to 12-15 overall this season. "We beat Morgan County earlier in the season in three games, but we played well that day," Lewis said. "Tonight, we were playing on their mistakes (and) not playing our game. Serving aces has been one of our strengths, but we had 15 combined service errors in the three games against them. It's difficult to win a match when the ball doesn't go over the net on serves. We also didn't execute our kills, blocks and tips like we did when we played them earlier." Eastside's Katie Johnston and Gabe Parker each had five kills. Nia Mullins recorded four kills and four blocks. Naomi Wills and Ashley Aycox combined for 11 digs. Mary Sheets led Eastside with 13 assists.

Methods of Inhibiting Poxvirus Growth
Inventors: Bart Sefton, Roberta Schulte
Potential Uses: Infection, Drug Discovery and Development, Poxvirus treatments
Targets for the development of anti-smallpox drugs
A drug that blocked poxvirus growth would be valuable if smallpox virus were to be used as a weapon. We have tested the ability of inhibitors of poxvirus protein kinases to inhibit poxvirus growth. Poxviruses encode two essential protein kinases, B1 and F10. We identified a number of small molecules that inhibited these protein kinases in vitro. One of these compounds inhibited the growth of vaccinia virus strongly. The drug reduced virus growth by 99% at a concentration of approximately 35 M. This effect is apparently specific. This compound had no effect on the growth of the unrelated vesicular stomatitis virus or on the growth of human cells at a concentration that inhibited vaccinia growth by more than 90%. This compound shows promise for further development into an effective anti-small pox drug. In addition, the two essential viral protein kinases represent useful targets for the development of additional anti-poxvirus drugs.

Ventura County same-sex couples say court decision changes their lives
Wednesday's ruling means legally married gay and lesbian couples cannot be denied federal benefits afforded to heterosexual couples.
The federal recognition means different things to different gay and lesbian couples, depending on the stage of each relationship, and each individual's career and circumstances.
For same-sex military couples such as Mainer and Hale of Port Hueneme, it will eventually mean Hale can provide Mainer with health benefits, and Hale will get a housing allowance so the two can afford to live together.
Because Hale is a single sailor, she must live in the barracks on base, miles away from Mainer, who works as a nanny.
"Right now I rent a room from my mom in Agoura Hills," said Mainer.
"I want to be able to provide for her," said Hale, an equipment operator for the Seabees.
Family members are from around the country are coming to celebrate the domestic partnership status the two planned to agree upon July 5, but now, they may be able to apply for a marriage license.
"The only reason we were going with a domestic partnership is that's all we could do," Mainer said. "As of today it's changed, but unfortunately it's not changing fast enough."
Same-sex Californians will not be able to marry until the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals confirms the stay of the injunction. California Attorney General Kamala Harris has urged the court to move quickly, although a federal appeals court spokesmen said Wednesday evening that the court will likely wait at least 25 days before allowing gay weddings to resume in California.
Hale is being deployed to Asia for six months at the end of the summer, so the couple will go ahead with the domestic partnership, then apply for a marriage license, hopefully before Hale is deployed, they said. Then, Mainer will start to plan their wedding.
"I'm thinking vintage, classy ... a fall wedding with orange and purple," Mainer said, targeting fall of 2014.
Former Air Force officer Jerome Clifford, now a physics professor at CSU Channel Islands, is thrilled that his spouse of five years is now entitled to his military pension, should Clifford die before him.
Clifford, 66, and Amgen mechanical engineer Dr. BiJian Fan, 52, have been together 18 years, and now live in a hillside home in Camarillo. They were married during the period when it was legal in California.
Clifford and Fan said federal taxes will no longer be a yearly feat because they can file a federal return as a married couple.
"I feel very happy," Clifford said. "We will probably get together and celebrate with our friends, now that it's finally over. Especially for friends who couldn't get married."
David Crouch, 46, texted his partner Paul Valenzuela the minute he learned DOMA had been overturned. The pair married in San Francisco in 2004 at the invitation of the then-mayor, but it was annulled.
"I was gearing myself up for disappointment," Crouch said. "After yesterday's gutting of the Voting Rights Act, I was pretty apprehensive."
Crouch and Valenzuela, of Port Hueneme, have been together 21 years and adopted two children. Their lives were complicated with their 9-year-old was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy as a toddler, so they are happy to be able to get married and provide an even more stable home for him and his8-year-old sister.
"Whenever they open up for marriage, we're going over to the courthouse," Crouch said.
Marian Cargnino, 28, and Alma Godoy, 26, of Ventura, were planning to get married in October, — legal or not. The two considered a vow in front of family and friends to be more important than government edicts. They want a children and both believe children should be raised in a home with married parents, so they decided to marry regardless of what the U.S. Supreme Court decided. Now, it's moot.
"I was surprisingly very emotional even though I stated it wouldn't change how I felt," Cargnino said. "I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and accomplishment and joy ... This is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to share the news with our children in years to come."
Gay and lesbian partners will take the bitter with the sweet when it comes to marriage, like divorce, disease and death of a spouse.
Christy Cantrell, 52, and her legal spouse, Leslie Burton, 56, are dealing with Burton's cancer and aging parents. The Ventura couple married on June 17, 2008, before Proposition 8 was passed.
"We are happy for ourselves, but some of our close friends have already gotten divorced," Cantrell said. "We have always said we can mess it up just as well as straight people."
Jordan Miller, 25, of Ventura grew up with two mothers, who are now separated, but says she celebrates this historic moment that would have meant her adopted parents could have married. Miller grew up with a brother, Andy Dahl, also 25 and also adopted.
"Growing up, having gay parents was the norm for my brother and me," she said. "We get the stigma of 'Oh, gay parents can't raise children right. My brother and I are a testament that it can be fine. We turned out O.K."
Both straight, Miller and Dahl are educated and hold down good jobs, she said.
Michael Quick and Harris Berger of Oxnard were among the first same-sex couples to get a marriage license in Ventura County in the pre-Proposition 8 window when marriage was legal in California. They were married on July 12, 2008.
Quick was by Berger's side Jan. 16 when Berger, 57, died of a cancerous brain tumor. Berger didn't live to see this historic day, Quick said, so June 26 was bittersweet.
"It's a sad day but it's a wonderful day because he fought so hard for it," Quick said. "He's smiling down on everyone from heaven."

How much do nfl chain gang members make per game?
The members of each Chain Gang are hired locally by the home team. There is no set standard salary, but the pay appears to be about $40 to $50 per game. Some teams will give the crew members a ticket to the game for their spouse or a friend.
There are typically 7 to 8 members of the crew and they work directly with the head linesman marking first downs and the line of scrimmage. Although they work with the linesman, the chain gang members are not official NFL referees.
Chain crew assignments include:
- • Down Box
• Sets and moves after instructed by the Linesman
• Changes number on box after moving to new spot; set box on heel of Linesman
• Spot box at 3 yard line on Points After Touchdown
• Drop box when players come at you from the field of play
• Chain Person
• Never move unless instructed by the Linesman, who will motion with arm for them to move
• Move chain off the field and at the 6' foot restraining line
• Drop chains when players come at you from the field of play
• On first and goal, lay chains down out of bounds at 15 yard line
• On measurements, wait for the Linesman before moving onto the field to measure for a first down
• Be aware of hurry-up situations at end of half or game
• Clip Person (use 2 clips)
• Clip to chain at furthest back, thick 5 yard striped line, then move chains back from sideline
• Remove 2nd clip after conclusion of the first play of a new series
• Auxiliary Box
• Under supervision of the Line Judge

A National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) recently concluded that an employer violated the National Labor Relations Act (Act) by implementing a "no gossip policy" and by firing an employee who violated the policy. The case, Laurus Technical Institute, involved a non-union employer. As we have reported before, the NLRB's jurisdiction covers union and non-union employers alike. We have also talked with you about the NLRB's aggressive approach to policing employer workplace policies. You have been warned!
It appears that in this case, after an employee filed a charge challenging her termination for unsatisfactory work performance and various policy violations, the NLRB's General Counsel's office included an additional charge challenging the employer's "no gossip policy."
The "no gossip policy" was implemented to address a number of workplace problems, problems that you are probably familiar with! The policy provided that gossip would not be tolerated. The policy also prohibited employees from engaging in gossip about the company, other employees or customers and stated that employees who violated the policy would be subject to disciplinary action. The policy defined gossip in a number of different ways, including: "talking about a person's personal life when they are not present; talking about a person's professional life without his/her permission; and creating, sharing or repeating rumors about another person, that are overheard or that constitute hearsay."
The ALJ found that the policy violated the Act because it was overly broad and essentially banned any discussion of an employee's professional life and negative comments/criticisms of other employees. The ALJ found that, as a result, the policy prohibited employees from discussing the terms and conditions of employment, which is an activity clearly protected by the Act. The ALJ concluded that because the policy contained no narrowing or clarifying language, and did it further define any terms, the policy was unlawful.
That last part is interesting to us, because the NLRB has repeatedly emphasized the importance of clarifying language in policies, and has encouraged employers to carefully define terms. It looks to us like the employer in this case gave that a shot, and one could argue that the employer did define gossip carefully. One could also argue that a reasonable reading of the policy would render it lawful. Obviously, the ALJ did not see it that way.
The ALJ also concluded that, because the employee who brought the complaint was terminated, in part, for violating the policy, her termination was also a violation of the Act. The ALJ ordered that the employee be made whole.
This decision is another in a series of decisions attacking employer workplace policies. Unfortunately, this trend is likely to continue. Employers should not simply throw up their hands and give up, however. Instead, employers should work with counsel to careful draft policies and procedures. In addition, employers should continue to closely scrutinize termination decisions that may involve protected activity under the Act.

Alex Mercer might have saved New York City from complete destruction, but the Big Apple is once again terrorized by a viral outbreak in Prototype 2. The game sticks to its sandbox roots, but there's a new hero in the driver's seat this time around. With the ability to behave badly in an open environment so commonplace these days, does Prototype 2 find new ways to set it apart from the rest?
Prototype 2's viral outbreak is set just a few years after the first game's, so the whole of New York City has a convenient scapegoat in former protagonist Alex Mercer. Hardened veteran James Heller, whose family was killed in the outbreak, has particularly gnarly bone to pick. However, when he finally encounters the hooded rogue, he learns that there's somebody else pulling the strings. The conspiracies and lies keep piling up, but ultimately the only thing on Heller's mind the entire game is vengeance. It's a very dull plot that's predictable from start to finish, and the abrupt resolution tops off a forgettable tale that only gets in the way of the actual game.
Prototype 2's playground hasn't received much in the way of new toys to keep you entertained with James Heller's suite of destructive tricks. The game certainly achieves a grand scale with a sprawling cityscape to explore freely, but the real problem here is the lack of significant incentives to trek through it aside from simply progressing through the story.
Prototype 2 is heavily focused on its mission based structure, and side objectives, while present, are frightfully scant. What you're given are mere appetizers that involve beating up groups of enemies, tracking down hidden collectibles, and the rare opportunity for a quick power-up courtesy of consuming a random pedestrian. The game definitely hits its stride with the main objectives, but you'll quickly tire of the formulaic ways they unfold.
You're rewarded with new abilities as you level up, which at least makes clearing out your adversaries a bit easier to endure. Heller can morph his arms into various weapons, and each can be upgraded over time. Additionally, you can enhance other basic attributes like your speed or health, or make improvements to your existing attacks to make them more potent. This is where the Prototype 2 is most rewarding, but it fails to get creative and put your abilities to the test. Instead, you're given basic tasks that simply ask you to cause chaos and mayhem rather than encourage creative use of your destructive capabilities.
There is an emphasis on maintaining a level of stealth as you masquerade about the city, and assuming other people's identities is paramount to success in many of the missions. The stealth angle could have been the most intriguing aspect of the game, but the consequences for failure are more or less trivial--you can simply brute force your way through any stealth scenario where your cover is blown. There are some incentives to playing nice, like experience bonuses, but when you're caught in a tough spot, it's all too easy to rely on brawn rather than brains, especially given how incredibly stupid the enemy AI can be at times.
On the surface, Prototype 2 appears to be more than another generic sandbox game, but in fact does little to break the mold. Even the inclusion of new bonus challenges in a mode called Radnet, which is only accessible to those who purchase a new copy, does little to sweeten the deal. Those who favor mindless mayhem and carnage will find their fill here, but be warned: this one's a guilty pleasure at best.
At least getting around town is enjoyable. Traversing the vast realm of New York City is easy with simple controls that make you really feel like superhuman as you run up the side of a building and leap off into empty space. You've also got the ability to glide around and boost, and while this gives you more flexibility in how you get about, being precise with your landings can be a bit tricky. You're supernatural abilities will be put to the test as you track down targets with your hunting skill, chase down villains, and try to escape from monstrous behemoths.
When you're not chasing down tasks, you'll likely be caught up in a skirmish. You've got quite a few tools at your disposal from the get-go, and as you progress you'll gain even more. Attacks are limited to one or two types at any given time, which you can actively equip from a sub-menu. Dodging and blocking attacks is critical as well. It's a rather complex battle system for a game like this, but it's ultimately underutilized. All too often, you're thrown into chaotic battles where there's just too much going on around you to account for, so you're rarely given a chance to properly experience the combat system.
Instead of trying to master melee combat, it's far more effective to resort to the big guns. Initially, you can take hold of firearms on the ground or from those you consume, but later on you'll be able to hijack more powerful utilities like tanks and choppers. You also have a meter under your health bar that lets you unleash powerful attacks called Devastators that can quickly change the dynamic of any battle. When the chaos quickly escalates, trying to perform crowd control with your garden-variety attacks usually won't cut it. You'll frequently need to resort to your more powerful abilities to scrape by on the battlefield.
The bottom line here is that Prototype 2 sports a refined combat system that's more intricate than what you'd see in other games like it, as well as fun traversal mechanics, but the developers simply didn't put them to good use.
You get the feeling that Prototype 2 cuts corners to achieve its grand scale. It would have been far more impressive to be able to see the panoramic vistas of New York City without all the dated fog masking the draw distance. That said, it does an admirable job of expressing its gratuitous violence and gore as you hack helpless people to pieces and destroy everything in sight, but there are still instances where Heller's sometimes goofy animations diminish the effect. The game's audio gets the better end of the deal with a decent soundtrack and above average voice work, but it's ultimately nothing memorable.
Where the original was intriguing for its gratuitously unhinged take on sandbox-enabled chaos, Prototype 2 feels like it's just going through the motions. The series badly needs an injection of creativity if it's to merit another installment. If you're satisfied with the status quo, you'll have a decent time running amok in this hazard-filled sandbox, but in spite of all the noise it makes, it's quite unlikely to surprise you.

Each year, thousands of people file for bankruptcy-the majority hardworking people who have hit tough financial times. An unexpected job loss, medical condition, or divorce is often the culprit. Since 1985, David L. Conklin PC has helped countless Michigan clients get a financial second chance through bankruptcy relief.
Filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a fresh start. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Grand Rapids, MI is the most common form of bankruptcy for both consumers and businesses. By filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may eliminate most of your debt including:
You may also be able to keep your home or car by reaffirming the debts and keeping payments current. As part of the process, the debtor discloses all assets to the court. The debtor's non-exempt property is liquidated to pay all or some of his or her debt. Any debt that is not paid through liquidation is discharged and creditors may not continue in collection actions. Generally, few assets are actually liquidated in a personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy. There are usually more valuable assets when a business declares Chapter 7.
Bankruptcy laws may not allow for the elimination of certain debts including:
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables you to consolidate your debt through a three or five year repayment plan. The court must approve the plan and you must meet income and other requirements for a Chapter 13 filing to be approved. The monthly payment amount and the length of the repayment plan are based upon:
Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy you receive a discharge once your payment plan is completed. However, if you do not make your payments on time, your debts are not discharged and you may become liable for them, along with fines and penalties.
A skilled bankruptcy attorney can help you bargain for the elimination of late fees and fines and negotiate a much lower interest rate on your repayment plan.

Wai Yuen Tong 《Tianseng Capsule》is a fine product made of Tibetan Radix Rhodiolae and Changbaishan wild ginseng. Being a perfect blend of the essence of two kinds of premium tonic food, it is one of the first choices among all body-strengthening tonic products
Tibetan Radix Rhodiolae is also known as "xiancicao". It was recorded in as early as 1200 A.C. in the Four-volume Complete Medical Classic of Tibetan medicine. This panacea was utilised to strengthen the patient's resistance and consolidate his constitution, regulate the vital energy and the blood condition and reinforce the brain and the mind, and it became a high-stall contribution to the emperor. During the King Kangxi years of the Qing Dynasty, it was used as a life-prolonging, tonifying and body strengthening medicine. On the strengthen of its anti-fatigue, energy-enhancing, body-strengthening and mind-soothing effects, it once became a dietary supplement for enhancing the army's fighting capacity. Given its high reliability, dependability and comprehensive nutritional value as a herb, it acquired and imperially given name of "xiancicao" from Kangxi Emperor.
Changbaishan wild ginseng, a first-class tonic medicine, is also known as "shencao" in ancient times. It is also widely regarded by Chinese herbalists as number one medicine for tonifying the vital energy. It serves to tonify the vital energy, nourish the lung and generate fluid and promote metabolism. It has a multitude of species among which those from Jilian and Chanbaishan rank the highest.

Japan's Autumn Beauty
Autumn is the one of the best seasons to visit Japan! You will get a chance to feel the harmony of the fall foliage and the beautiful scenery of Japan, and it is also very comfortable weather in which to travel. This escorted tour will take you to big cities like Tokyo, Osaka, traditional cities like Kyoto, and a sacred mountain, Mt. Takao, for hiking. Mt. Takao was introduced in the Michelin Green Guides for Travel and Tourism as a place that is relatively close to the center of Tokyo where you can meet the "Real Japan." You can either hike to the summit, or take a cable car and a short walk. After hiking and working up a sweat, you will soak in a hot-spring and relax at a traditional Japanese-style Inn, or Ryokan in Hakone. There are many places to visit and see, so come to experience Japan's Autumn Beauty this year with us! You can share your trip memories with your family on Thanksgiving, too!

There are two sightseeing days in Tokyo. On the first day, we'll visit old Japanese towns such as Asakusa, Ameyoko, and places like the Tokyo Edo Museum, Imperial Palace, and Tokyo Sky Tree, where you will feel the atmosphere of old Japan. Asakusa is always a popular and fun spot for tourists to see all of the small and unique shops on the Nakamise-Dori street. Tokyo Sky Tree will be the new broadcasting tower replacing the Tokyo Tower, which is currently under construction and expected to open for the public in December, 2011. Now the Tokyo Tower stands 1,092 feet (333m) high is set to lose its title as Japan's tallest artificial structure to the new tower, which will stand 2,080 feet (634 m) high, almost twice the height of the Tokyo Tower. So check out how tall it actually is when we get there! On the second day, we will visit must-see spots like Tsukiji, Hamarikyu, Tokyo Tower, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and more! At the same time we will enjoy the bustling Tsukiji Market, and feel the spiritual and peaceful atmosphere of the Meiji Shrine and Hamarikyu.
You may feel a little bit tired of bus tours in last two days, so we'll take you to Mt. Takao, which was introduced in the 'Michelin Green Guides for Travel and Tourism' as a place that is relatively close to the center of Tokyo, where you can meet the "Real Japan." People who feel adventurous can go hiking, or you can even take a cable car and admire the view of the autumn nature and enjoy a picnic. We will head to Hakone afterward where you will stay at Hotel Okuyumoto, and enjoy an onsen (hot-spring) and delicious Japanese cuisine. You will be sleeping on a futon spread out over tatami flooring (straw mats,) to get a good night's sleep!
After climbing up the Mt. Takao and having a good workout, there is no better way to relax than by soaking yourself in a hot-spring. Hotel Okuyumoto in Hakone has large common and open-air baths for both men and women, along with the sauna. It's been said that the hot-spring is good relief for muscle soreness, neuralgic pain, illnesses, and injuries. You will also enjoy a Japanese-style dinner and a breakfast made from its fresh and seasonal ingredients to your heart's content! We're planning to get to the hotel early around afternoon-time, so that you will have plenty of time to immerse yourself into an authentic onsen experience and relaxation at Hotel Okuyomoto.
On the day we arrive at Osaka by shinkansen (bullet train,) we'll have a quick Osaka sightseeing experience where we'll visit two symbols of Osaka. One is Osaka Castle, built by the historic Hideyoshi Toyotomi who unified the political factions of Japan. The second is the Aerial Garden Observatory, a unique modern building which has an aerial garden observatory with a 360-degree panoramic view on top and a gourmet town 'Takimi-koji,' which is a reconstruction of Osaka's olden alleys on the first basement level. Once you check-in the hotel, you're free to explore Osaka!
We have two sightseeing days in Kyoto. The first day tour will take you to the Must-See spots starting from Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion,) Kiyomizu Temple, Sanju-Sangendo, Fushimi Inari Taisha, and more. Fushimi Inari Shrine is the most famous of several thousands of shrines dedicated to Inari across Japan and also for the countless torii gates. It's worth seeing it! The second day tour will take you to Arashiyama and Sagano known as the peaceful and beautiful area. Here we'll take a two-hour boat tour down Hozu River, which flows through an idyllic, forested valley, as well as to take the Sagano Romantic Train known as 'Torokko' tram to enjoy views of the valley. If we get lucky, we'll have a chance to see the gorgeous autumn leaves!
This tour will end on Nov-21 but if you want to stay longer to explore more of Japan or plan to visit your family and relatives, you're free to do that. Please be sure to tell us your desired return date at the time of booking, then we can reserve a seat for your return trip. Destination Japan can easily arrange your extended stay either in the same hotel or anywhere else in Japan. Very convenient Japan Rail Passes and discounted Japan domestic tickets are available, too. Just let us know how long and in what city you'd like to stay, so that we can find the best way for you to fully enjoy your stay!
Not Included:
- The order of the tour itinerary is subject to change.
- The fall foliage peak viewing times may vary from year to year depending on the climatic conditions.

Neurology Research
The Division of Child Neurology at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC is at the frontier of medical research. Over the past decade, neurological science has made major discoveries in understanding the genetic, molecular, cellular and organizational basis for diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. These advances have improved our ability to diagnose and treat many previously incurable disorders of the nervous system.
Children's Hospital's neurologists are leaders in research. Faculty members of the Division of Child Neurology bring into the Pittsburgh biomedical community in excess of $1 million in federal corporate and foundation research funding each year. Their research studies range from determining the best seizure medications to use for particular epilepsies to creating targeted viruses to treat cancer.
Basic science and clinical investigations directly related to our mission are an integrated component of the division.
Children's neurologists are equally at home and accomplished in the classroom. All teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Beyond the lecture hall and conference room, they also are career mentors for high school, undergraduate and medical students, residents and fellows from all over the country. They have also hosted international colleagues in observerships in child neurology.

Asked Questions About Bears
many black bears are there in Minnesota?
reclusive nature of black bears makes a precise population count difficult.
However, based upon hunting success studies and biological marking censuses,
the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates that there
are approximately 27,000 black bears in Minnesota.
do black bears eat?
75-85% of the black bear diet is vegetable matter.
Common foods in northern Minnesota include clover, dandelions,
chokecherry, pin cherry, sarsaparilla, wild plum, blueberry, cranberry,
hazelnuts, acorns, wild oats, and the larvae of ants, bees, and hornets. Black bears are not very effective predators, but they will
occasionally catch and eat fawns, moose calves, and beaver.
Bears are also attracted to human foods at campgrounds and garbage
dumps when natural foods are scarce.
is the legal status of the black bear in Minnesota?
is legal to hunt black bears during the fall hunting season with a permit
issued in a lottery. The
Minnesota DNR initiated the current permit-quota system.
are black bears hunted in Minnesota?
is the most common method of hunting bears in this state.
Hunters are permitted to place a cache of food in a clearing 2
weeks before hunting season begins.
Hunting bears with hounds is not permitted in Minnesota.
black bears mate for life?
Black bear males and females come together only during breeding season.
A female may mate with several males during a short estrus period
and cubs from the same litter may have different fathers.
many cubs do black bears have?
female black bear can produce a litter of up to five cubs every 2 years.
The average number of cubs is 2 or 3. In Minnesota, 2.5 is average.
Cubs are born in January or February.
They rely on their mother's body heat for warmth and her rich milk
(33% fat) for food until it is time to emerge from the den in the spring.
The black bear is the only mammal to lactate (produce milk) for
about 3 months without eating.
long do cubs stay with their mothers?
stay with their mother for 1 1/2 years.
The family bond is very strong.
The mother bear is affectionate, strict, protective and devoted
to her cubs. Her primary
concern is for their safety and education.
large is a black bear's home range?
size of the home range varies depending upon the abundance of food.
In an area with lots of berry and nut producing plants a territory
will be smaller than in an area with scarce food supplies.
Yearling females often share the territory of their mothers, but
young males may travel far to find their own territories.
In Minnesota, a sow's home range is 2-6 square miles. The breeding territory of an adult male can cover over 100
square miles to overlap with many female home ranges.
black bears hibernate?
black bears do not hibernate. They
enter a state of sedation referred to as torpor. Their metabolism slows
down during the long winter sleep so that they do not need to eat, drink,
urinate, or defecate until they emerge from their dens in late March or
April. Black bears shed their
footpads during the winter. You
may see bears licking their tender new footpads in the spring.
much do black bears weigh?
weigh only 8-12 ounces at birth and are covered with fine, downy hair.
Cubs that weigh 5 pounds or more when they leave the den in the
spring have the greatest chance of survival.
Adult males and females fluctuate in weight over the course of
the year. Adult males can
weigh 150-600 pounds, while females with cubs can weigh 90-300 pounds.
Pregnant females lose about 35% of their weight during the winter, while
males and females without cubs lose about 30% of their weight.
all black bears black?
In eastern North America, most black bears are black. As you move westward across the continent, the proportion of brown color phase black bears increases. In 1997, a rare white phase black bear we called "Halo" visited the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary.
Are black bears dangerous?
Unprovoked attacks on humans by black bears are very rare. Dozens of minor injuries have occurred when people petted or crowded black bears that they were feeding or photographing. Considering their size and strength, black bears show amazing restraint with humans and each other. In the last century, there were only 40 deaths in all of North America that were caused by black bears. A person is 150 times more likely to be killed by a tornado and 374 times more likely to die from a lightning strike than to be killed by a black bear.
How can I feed birds if I live in bear country?
Click here to see the design for hanging birdfeeders out of the reach of bears. This system is used at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary.

The first week of training camp is over for the Tennessee Titans and so far former Hilltopper Antonio Andrews is pleased with his efforts. "I feel like I am holding my weight pretty well, I should be opening the eyes of these coaches." Andrews said.
With eight running backs on the roster it will be difficult for Andrews to make the team as a running back. For Antonio he will do whatever it takes to make the team, even play special teams. "I am trying to get the number one spot on special teams, and I'm actually having fun. I never thought I would be playing special teams, but hey in this league you got to do whatever it takes to make the team."
The titans first preseason game is August 9th vs the Green Bay Packers, and the first day of roster cuts will be August 26th.

As we reported yesterday, Vilma Soltesz, a 56-year-old diabetic New Yorker who weighed 425 pounds (192 kg), died on a trip to Hungary after being refused boarding on several aircrafts.
The woman had a hard time getting around, as she had lost one leg to the disease. She also had medical problems involving her kidneys, and eventually lost her life to kidney failure.
Her husband Janos is suing two airlines for causing her death, by denying her a flight home, where she would have been treated.
KLM is one of the carriers cited in the suit. The Soltesz family was scheduled to fly home on one of their aircrafts, however, come boarding, plane staff let them know that their equipment didn't feature any extensible seatbelts.
"Delta and KLM did everything possible to assist the family," a company rep states. They redirected them to Prague, where they were told a Delta plane would offer suitable accommodation for a disabled person.
Unfortunately, she was dubbed too heavy to be carried on board on the sky-lift elevator. In addition to that, personnel informed her the airline's plastic chairs would not be able to hold her weight.
The joint venture that includes Delta and Air France-KLM was dubbed liable for her death, by the grieving husband, CBS News reports.
"When KLM was unable to safely board Mrs. Soltesz in Budapest, it was determined she might be able to fly on the larger Delta aircraft out of Prague, but unfortunately that was not the case.
"Our records indicate Delta staff in Prague made repeated attempts for nearly an hour to board the customer, but they were unable to get her onboard the aircraft," the airline spokesperson argues, in response to the claims against the company.
The Solteszs turned to Lufthansa on October 22, but faced another rejection as the crew and local fire department were unable to bring the woman on board, even after 30 minutes of trying.
The pilot made the decision to deny her access on the flight, as he had to make several other connections. Lufthansa is also implicated in the suit.
"We had 140 passengers on board, and they had connections and needed to travel. The question was never the seat belt. The question was the mobility of the passenger," the company answers.

If one was to accomplish I Eng or C Eng the Technical Report Route or Mature Candidates Route etc, would colleges/unis give them credits towards a degree / masters degree /
04 January 2011 08:15 PM
You may wish to raise the question with the uni / college.
But one would have thought, the answer to be no.
04 January 2011 09:17 PM
It may, however, count towards the possibility of you undertaking a "PhD wihtout a Masters", or a "Masters without a Degree", though.
That doesn't mean you have an "equivalent qualification" in academic terms, though.
And it does depend on the details of your work, and the provenance of any "professional service" activities you might be involved with.

If one was to accomplish I Eng or C Eng the Technical Report Route or Mature Candidates Route etc, would colleges/unis give them credits towards a degree / masters degree /
My view is:
1. An IEng is an equivalent academic achievement to an ordinary BEng Degree. Normally he/she can gain direct entry into the final year of a BEng (Honours) degree or if coupled with considerable senior design/management experience, he/she may be admitted onto a Postgraduate Diploma course that if he/she achieves the pass mark of an MSc be allowed to upgrade to an MSc with no loss in time.
2. A CEng is an equivalent academic achievement to a BEng (Honours) degree. He/she can gain direct entry to pursue a MSc or MBA or MPhil degree.
However, both IEng or CEng cannot claim exemption to any taught subjects or courseworks in either BEng, BEng (Honours) or MSc/MBA courses. This is because IEng and CEng are based on overall competency not on specific subjects.
Hope the above helps.

It is always difficult to assess equivalence and accreditation of prior learning, credit transfer and credit value (such as NQF) have had much attention over the years. Unfortunately when different measurement criteria are applied, different conclusions can be drawn from the same piece of evidence.
The "routes" referred to by the questioner are somewhat misleading and out of date, although the IET does apply the "Technical Report" section of Engineering Council Regulations when assessing experienced engineers, who may lack an accredited qualification.
When the IET asks someone to supply a "report" it is because the evidence presented by their registration application is insufficient. A common situation is where someone appears to be practising as a competent engineer, but the evidence of underpinning knowledge and understanding is unclear. A report is one of the ways in which IET assessors can satisfy themselves that the appropriate knowledge exists. However this process is intended to enable comparison with other experienced engineers, not to examine the syllabus of a specific degree course in detail.
A number of universities specialise in providing academic credit for work-based learning and this would be the best starting point for detailed advice. Portsmouth University is particularly prominent in this respect. The universities signed up to Engineering Gateways also make extensive use of work practice in assessment.
Based on experience of reports submitted, a substantial minority could easily be adapted into an academic submission. If the reverse logic is applied many learned papers, reports, patents or similar could also be used to support a professional registration application.
A large number of learning providers including universities offer some form of advanced standing, on the basis of an existing professional registration, as evidence of achievement.

IET Registration & Standards
15 April 2013 06:52 AM
There is always the City And Guilds accredited professional recognition diploma.
IEng can apply directly and get Graduatship GCGI of City and Guilds. This is equated to BEng (Hon) degree.
CEng can apply for and earn MCGI - equated to Masters degree in Engineering.
In addition to Royal Charter the LCGI, GCGI, MCGI are also accredited by OfQual accredited qualifications which enable candidates to demonstrate their knowledge and skills within any sector or role. Those achieving these awards will be entitled to use an appropriate, internationally recognised post-nominal: Licentiateship (LCGI), Affiliateship (AfCGI), Graduateship (GCGI) and Membership (MCGI).
16 April 2013 10:01 AM
Please be aware that although a City & Guilds senior award (LCGI, GCGI, MCGI) can be obtained by Technician, IEng & CEng registrants administratively, vice-versa does not apply. When assessing an application for professional registration the IET would want to understand exactly what achievement led to the award and how this relates to UK-SPEC requirements. In the case of IEng and CEng this involves a detailed peer review process and interview. Technician registration does not require an IET interview (it is an option) and certain City & Guilds qualifications can provide ideal evidence, but there is still a requirement to illustrate competent practice as defined by UK-SPEC.
Professional institutions accredit or approve specific programmes , regulated by Engineering Council. We can therefore be sure that every person with an accredited qualification or having followed an approved programme has demonstrated a specific standard. Other courses or awards for achievement may offer similar value, but each has to be considered on an individual basis.

I found that these awards are great for ENgTech, IEng and CEng who earned their registration by mature adult rout or technical report rout or simply got their degree from non English speaking country fron school without name recognition.
They usually don't have an accredited (EngC) degree.
In USA for example GCGI is officially recognized and evaluated as equivalent to Bachelors(Hon) Degree in Engineering from Regionally Accredited University.
The same for MCGI - As Masters of Engineering etc.
When applying for employment it can be disadvantage if the applicant competes against persons who earned degrees.
Having LCGI, GCGI or MCGI fills this gap.

Breast Screening
What is breast screening?
The National Health Service Breast Screening Programme invites all women registered with a GP who are aged 47 70 for examination to detect breast cancers.
The first step of breast screening is a mammogram, which will be performed by a female radiographer or practitioner. The mammogram can detect small changes in breast tissue which may indicate cancers which are too small to be felt by the woman or by her doctor.
When will I be screened?
If you are aged 47 70 and registered with a GP surgery, you will automatically receive an invitation for breast screening every 3 years.
I have just received my invitation letter. Now what happens?
Please read your invitation letter carefully. It contains information on when and where your appointment is. It also gives important instructions regarding your mammogram.
Women who have a physical or learning disability are asked to contact the screening unit on 01603 287777 or at the address shown on the invitation letter. A special appointment will be arranged at either the screening units at either Norwich Community hospital or Cromer hospital, where there is wheelchair access, provision for a supporter to accompany the woman if she wishes, and more time can be allowed than is possible on a mobile screening unit.
Please also contact the screening unit if you have breast implants. You can still have a mammogram and your appointment won't need to be changed. It is simply easier for the staff if they are aware ahead of time.
For your screening appointment, we kindly ask all women to refrain from wearing SPRAY deodorant, talc powder or moisturiser on your breasts and under your arms. Thank you.
Where will I be screened?
Please click here for a map of the Norwich Community Hospital
Please click here for more information on where you will be screenedI am aged over 70. Am I still entitled to breast screening?
Automatic appointments are not sent out to women over 70, but you are more than welcome to attend for Breast Screening every 3 years. Please call the screening office on 01603 287777 to make an appointment at any one of our screening sites.
I have just received my invitation for breast screening. What should I expect?
Please click here for more information on what happens at a breast screening appointmentWhen will I get my results?
You should receive your results to your home address within 2-3 weeks.
The mammogram will be read by two qualified film readers.
You may need to be recalled to the second stage of breast screening if a lesion is identified on your initial mammograms. If this is necessary, you will receive a letter with another appointment to the assessment clinic.
This assessment would possibly involve further mammograms, an examination with a doctor and a breast ultrasound.
Please be aware that if you are recalled, it may not mean you have breast cancer.

Fellow Citizens of Saint Francis - I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the last two years. I have enjoyed serving the 2nd District and the City of Saint Francis as your Alderperson. For those of you not familiar with me, I was elected to finish out the final two years of former Alderperson Jim Czerwinski four year term. I am seeking re-election this April 1st.
Over the last two years, I have served on the Common Council, Finance Committee, Legislative Committee, Board of Public Works, Board of Appeals and The Municipal Development Committee. I'm currently Vice President of the Saint Francis Lions Club, Assistant Parade Director of the Saint Francis Days Parade and a member of the Association of Commerce. I'm a former Board Member of the Saint Francis Days Committee and the Association of Commerce. I have lived in the city of Saint Francis for the last 20 years and take great pride in our community and serving it any way possible. In 2012, I was named Citizen of the Year for my service and dedication to our community.
Over the last two years, the city has been able to work with a balanced budget. Because the department heads have been working hard to keep their costs and budgets down, we have not had to raise the tax levy. This year, your taxes went up slightly due to the new Civic Center that is in the process of being built. I believe the Civic Center will show businesses that Saint Francis is an up and coming city, and it's the place they want to build in.
My goal for the next four years is to keep the city at a balanced budget, without having to raise taxes, reduce costs where possible and concentrate on drawing new businesses to our area. With the economy slowly coming around, I believe the future of Saint Francis is looking bright. I look forward to helping the city move forward during the next four years and beyond.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have. I look forward to your support on April 1st.
Mike McSweeney
2nd District Alderman Saint Francis

text: You may not know that the epic, fantasy anime Moribito: guardian of the spirit (shown occasionally late night on Cartoon Network) was originally a kids book by Nahoko Uehashi, and that there is now a sequel, Morbito II : guardian of the darkness! This series follows a wondering female bodyguard Balsa, and is set in a world similar to ancient Japan. If you dig a little historical fiction with sword fighting, or if you just want see the original inspiration for the anime, you might want to take a look.

Disney left the hospital to attend to studio business for a few days, then re-entered St. Joseph on Sunday, November 6, for surgery the next day. During Monday morning's operation, doctors found his left lung to be cancerous and removed it. His oversized lymph nodes were an indication that Disney hadn't much longer to live.
After two weeks of post-operative care, Disney was released from the hospital. He crossed the street to his studios and spent another ten days tending to studio business and visiting relatives before he grew too weak and had to return to St. Joseph on November 30. His health started to fail even more rapidly than expected, and drugs and cobalt treatments sapped what little strength he had left. Walt Disney died two weeks later when his circulatory system collapsed on the morning of December 15, 1966.
In the decades since Walt Disney's death, the claim that he arranged for his
body to be frozen has become ubiquitous. Nearly everyone familiar with the
name 'Walt Disney' has heard the story that Disney's corpse is stored in a
deep-freeze chamber
Was Walt Disney aware of the possibilities of life extension through cryogenics? He certainly could have been aware of the progress being made in cryogenics research. Numerous articles and books on hypothermia and the preservation of animal tissue through freezing appeared in both the scientific/medical and general press in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Anyone with an interest in the subject could easily have located this reading material, and even someone without a particular interest in the subject may have run across one or more articles on the topic in the general press.
The subject of cryonics was further brought to the public's attention with the publication in 1964 of Robert C.W. Ettinger's book, The Prospect of Immortality. Ettinger's book, drawing on much of the available literature about cryonics, covered the practical, legal, ethical, and moral impact of freezing and reviving human beings. Ettinger, while admitting that science had as yet no way of reviving frozen human beings, was unflaggingly optimistic that a viable means of reanimation would eventually be found, telling his readers:
Given the prevalence of articles published about cryonics in the mid 1960's, and the relative popularity of Ettinger's book among science buffs (even if few of them had actually read it), it is certainly possible that Walt Disney was aware of the potentiality of cryonic storage of humans.
Whatever the possibilities, however, there is no documentary evidence to suggest that Walt Disney was interested in, or had even heard of, cryonics. Documentation of Disney's alleged fascination with preserving or extending his life through cryonics did not appear until decades after his death, and what little information is available has predominantly been provided by some extremely questionable sources.
Claims about Disney's interest come primarily from two of the more recent Disney biographies: Robert Mosley's 1986 effort,Disney's World, and Marc Eliot's 1993 entry, Walt Disney -- Hollywood's Dark Prince. Both books have been largely discredited for containing numerous factual errors and undocumented assertions, rendering them rather untrustworthy as sources of reliable background material.
Eliot's biography, which dwells unrelentingly on every salacious incident and rumor connected with Walt Disney's name, is fairly easy to dismiss. Charitably described as "speculative," it contains a single passage concerning Walt Disney's alleged interest in cryonics:
Not surprisingly, the source behind this piece of information is nowhere to be found in Eliot's notes. And as there is no record of Roy ever having spoken of his brother's alleged interest in cryonics, Eliot's "source" was likely nothing more than repetition of rumor.
Mosley's Disney's World is also rather long on rumor and short on facts. The book has been described as "poorly researched and filled with inaccuracies", a biography that seemed "to promote certain preset points of view, regardless of evidence". The same critique goes on to say, "One of its central themes, for example, is Disney's fascination with cryogenesis and the strong suggestion that his body was frozen following his death. It makes for titillating reading; however, few facts support Mosley's claims".
Disney's World paints a picture of an anxious Walt Disney desperately searching for a way to spring back to life in order to prevent or correct the horrible mistakes his followers were bound to make in turning his EPCOT dream into reality:
Mosley's book is filled with repetitions of the claim that Walt Disney grew increasingly interested in cryonics as his health waned in late 1966, such as this paragraph:
Mosley's statements regarding Disney's belief in the feasibility of cryonics are somewhat difficult to take seriously, given that his book includes such ludicrously erroneous (or fabricated) statements as:
(Samples of tissue removed during cancer surgery are preserved in formaldehyde, a method of "preservation" which, while useful for microscopy studies, damages the tissue biologically. Organs removed from Disney by his surgeons could never be "put back where they belonged", no matter what the treatment.)
Mosley provides no source for his statements, other than to assert that Disney's "closest colleagues and advisers" were "confident" that Walt Disney "eventually became convinced of cryogenesis as a viable medical process and was persuaded that, even in 1966, it was possible for a human being to have himself brought back to life after death". In fact, these "close colleagues" of Disney's turned out to be a few employees on the periphery of the Disney organization who had never spoken to Walt about cryonics, and were merely repeating the same decades-old rumor for Mosley's benefit. On the other hand, someone much closer to Walt Disney, his daughter, Diane wrote in 1972:
Despite the persistent rumors, available documentation indicates that Walt Disney was in fact cremated. Although Disney's preferences regarding the disposal of his body are not public record (instructions or provisions for his funeral and burial were not included in his will), other publicly-available material is entirely consistent with the claim that he was cremated:
Walt Disney publicly stated -- ten years before his death -- that he wished not to have a funeral.
Disney family members have confirmed that cremation was Walt's wish.
Disney's death certificate shows that he was cremated two days after
his death. (The name, license number, and signature of the enbalmer
appearing on the death certificate are those of a real enbalmer
who was employed at the Forest Lawn mortuary at the time.)
- A marked burial plot, for Walt Disney (and his son-in-law) can be found at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale (the logical resting grounds for someone whose cremation was handled by Forest Lawn's mortuary), and court papers indicate that the Disney estate paid $40,000 to Forest Lawn for interment property.
Since Disney's demise, several unmremarkable events and circumstances surrounding his life and death have been combined to try to establish a pattern of mystery and secrecy concerning the disposal of his body. All of these events, however, have straightforward, non-mysterious explanations:
- "Disney had a long preoccupation with death"
- "Disney had a neurotic fear of death"
Statements concerning Disney's alleged preoccupation with death are generally attempts to sensationalize the topic by distorting the facts. Although he did worry about dying prematurely, Disney was not "obsessed with death". Having been told by a fortune-teller that he would die when he was thirty-five, Disney did brood about his inevitable demise during occasional bouts of depression, even after he had long passed the allegedly fatal age. Contemplating one's mortality is not an unusual behavior, and there is no evidence that Walt Disney did so to an excessive degree.
William Poundstone quotes some ridiculous passages from Anthony Haden-Guest's The Paradise Program to try to establish Disney's preoccupation with death, detailing a "gruesome seven-minute Mickey Mouse cartoon" made in 1933 in which "a mad scientist tries to cut off Pluto's head and put in on a chicken. The cartoon in question is The Mad Doctor, which was nothing more than humorous spoof of 1930's horror films. Even in the cartoon itself the "horrific" events are not portrayed as real: the whole episode turns out to be nothing more than a nightmare of Mickey's. Although Poundstone wrote that the film was pulled from the Rank film library in 1970, it has been readily available in the Mickey Mouse: The Black and White Years laserdisc set since 1994.
"The news of Disney's death was deliberately delayed."
This claim that the announcement of Walt Disney's death was deliberately withheld from the press for several hours has been made most persistently, presumably because Disney's aides would have needed time to furtively whisk his body away from the hospital to the secret cryogenic chamber before the presence of reporters made the task impossible to accomplish in privacy. Leonard Mosley's description of the event features some of more absurd stretches of truth made in this regard:
And this is where the mystery begins. It was Walt himself who had asked Roy Disney to keep his illness secret, but the manner in which the world was apprised of his death remains surprising.
In fact, it was not until hours after he was declared dead that an announcement was made. First came radio announcements, then a curt official notice informed the press and public that Walt Disney was no more. It added that there would be no funeral. He had already been cremated, the announcement said, and his ashes interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. Only immediate family members had been present.
It is true that Disney's death was not officially announced to the press until several hours after it occurred at 9:30 AM on Thursday, December 15, 1966, but the reasons behind the delay were perfectly ordinary ones. First of all, Disney's death would not have been announced immediately under any circumstances. Several family members had to be notified before a public announcement could be made, and Disney studio executives had to be located and informed that the head of their organization had passed away before the information would be released to the press. Additionally, the gravity of Disney's illness had largely been kept a secret from the press, so there were no hordes of reporters crowding the hallways of St. Joseph Hospital, waiting for the inevitable announcement of his death. The reason for Disney's original hospitalization had been announced to the press as "treatment of an old neck injury received while playing polo," and when Disney re-entered the hospital for the final time two weeks before his death, the statement made to the press was that Disney was undergoing "a routine post-operative" checkup. Although it was certainly no secret that Disney was quite ill, the seriousness of his condition was not generally known. The extent to which the details of Walt Disney's illness were kept from the press are evidenced by the newspapers reports of his death, which stated that his left lung had been removed during an operation on November 21 (an error which Poundstone repeats in Big Secrets). That operation had actually taken place two weeks earlier; November 21 was the date of his original post-surgery release from the hospital.
So, given that relatives and studio heads had to be notified before any statements about Disney's death were made to the press; that the media were not on a "Disney death watch," busily preparing obituaries and tributes; and that communications in 1966 were certainly slower than they are today, it is not at all surprising that official news of Disney's death did not reach the public until a few hours later.
Mosley's other statements, about Disney's funeral and cremation, are just further examples of sloppy research on his part. Disney was not cremated until two days after his death; no press announcement made "hours after he was declared dead" claimed that he had already been cremated.
"The cause of Disney's demise was never formally announced."
statement is both inaccurate and irrelevant. The cause of Disney's death was initially announced as being "acute circulatory collapse," which meant simply that his heart had stopped beating. As facile as the official announcement may seem to those who know he "really" died of lung cancer, it does reflect the proximate cause of his death. This notion is borne out by the official death certificate, which lists "cardiac arrest" as the primary cause of death. The fact that cancer was what caused Disney's heart to give out was, medically, of secondary importance.
Official statements released to the press after Disney's surgery (and before his death) had already revealed that a tumor had been found, necessitating the removal of a lung. Whether stated "officially" or not, it was quite clear to the public that Disney had died of lung cancer. In any case, what possible difference could it have made what Walt Disney died of? How could dissembling about the "real" cause of his death possibly have facilitated the goal of secretly storing his body in a cryonic chamber?
"Disney's funeral services were held in secret."
Disney's funeral was in fact conducted quickly and quietly
--at the Little Church of the Flowers in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Glendale --at 5:00 PM on Friday, December 16 (the day after his death). No announcement of the funeral was made until after it had taken place, no associates or executives from Disney Studios were invited, and only immediate family members were in attendance. Forest Lawn officials refused to disclose any details of the funeral or disposition of the body, stating only that "Mr. Disney's wishes were very specific and had been spelled out in great detail.".
None of this secrecy surrounding Disney's funeral should be the least bit surprising to anyone, however. In the biography The Story of Walt Disney, written a decade before Disney's death, his daughter Diane had noted:
He never goes to a funeral if he can help it. If he had to go to one it plunges him into a reverie which lasts for hours after he's home. At such times he says, 'When I'm dead I don't want a funeral. I want people to remember me alive.'"
Is it so remarkable that a man who had an aversion to
funerals -- andwho had stated a ten years earlier that he didn't want a public funeral -- wassent off with a very quick and very private ceremony? If the clandestineness of the funeral had been intended to cover up the fact that Disney's body had already been deposited in liquid nitrogen at a secret facility, there were certainly better, less obvious ways of accomplishing the deception: Disney could have been given a simple closed-casket ceremony, with nobody the wiser.
"Disney specified the public was never to be told the location of his grave."
Again, this claim is not the least bit extraordinary. It is true that officials at Forest Lawn Memorial Park will not divulge the location of the Disney family plot. Many celebrities do request that the locations of their burial plots not be given out to visitors as a simple matter of privacy. The burial sites are not intended to be "secret," however; if they were, they wouldn't be marked and located on publicly-accessible grounds. Disney's plot was not, as Mosley claimed, "already filled with family ashes from which the public would always be barred." Disney's plot is far from obtrusive, but it is located in an unrestricted part of the park and marked with a plaque identifying its occupants; anyone who so desires is perfectly free to visit, leave flowers, take photographs, etc. The plot was certainly not "already filled with family ashes" at the time of Disney's interment; even today it holds the remains of only one other person: Ron Brown, a son-in-law who died the year after Disney. In fact, according to the book Wills of the Rich and Famous, the interment property was not even chosen until September 19, 1967, making it rather difficult to believe that it could have been "already filled with family ashes."
If Disney was not really frozen, then how and when did this rumor originate? The exact origins of the rumor are unknown, but at least one Disney publicist has suggested that the story was started by a group of Disney Studio animators who "had a bizarre sense of humor." The earliest known printed version of the rumor appeared in the magazine Ici Paris in 1969.
Even if the origins of the story are unknown, it is certainly easy to see why the rumor is so believable. In the years immediately preceding his death, Disney was involved in a number of projects which cemented his image as a technical innovator in the public's mind. Disneyland attractions such as the monorail, the House of the Future, the Voyage to the Moon; the introduction of audio-animatronic figures at the 1964 World's Fair, and Disney's plans for his "community of tomorrow" (EPCOT) in Florida made it easy to believe Walt Disney was ahead of everyone else in his planning, even when it came to his death. When you consider that the first cryonic suspension took place just a month after Disney's death (Dr. James Bedford, a 73-year-old psychologist from Glendale, was suspended on January 12, 1967), it's not so far-fetched to imagine that Disney might have made similar arrangements.

Spinal Decompression Helps Back Pain Sufferers
Many health experts recommend surgery for back pain. While surgery can help, it is expensive, invasive and has a long recovery time, making the debilitation worse before it is better. Many opt to get surgery, especially for degenerative disc disease, but others are searching for an alternative treatment.
Fortunately, there is a new treatment that is proving helpful for back pain sufferers, especially those with sciatica, spinal stenosis and herniated disc. The treatment is rumored to take away pain faster, while getting those suffering with back pain back to normal activity quicker, without surgery.
The treatment is thought to speed up the healing process by 80%, as opposed to surgery, and is a combination of techniques using spinal decompression, muscle massage and cold laser therapy. Though results aren't immediate – doctors recommend twenty 90-minute treatments over a six-week period – it is much better for those not wanting to go under the knife. Some have reported a full recovery in only four or five treatments.
Spinal decompression uses a machine that pulls the spine to target specific vertebrae, pulling the precise disk that needs to be pulled away from the nerve. Used in tandem with massage and cold laser therapy, it might quickly become the best alternative treatment for back pain today. Each session averages about $200-$250.

A Different Legal System for the Rich: Hedge Fund manager gets misdemeanor for hit & run

A Different Legal System for the Rich: Imagine Getting Off Easy for Hit-and-Run Because You Run a Hedge Fund
Joshua Holland
November 26, 2010
Our lopsided wealth distribution makes the U.S. look more like a banana republic than one of the richest, most highly developed nations in the world. But having a small, wealthy elite living it up among a nation of struggling workers doesn't make a country a banana republic. In a true plutocracy, you also need a bifurcated legal system, with one philosophy of justice for the wealthy and another for the little guy.
Recently, a modest crime that made big headlines provided an eye-opening anecdote. In July, Dr. Steven Milo, a surgeon, was riding his bicycle on a Colorado road when he was struck from behind by a Mercedes. According to the Vail Daily, Milo "suffered spinal cord injuries, bleeding from his brain and damage to his knee and scapula," causing "disabling spinal headaches" and requiring "multiple surgeries for a herniated disc and plastic surgery to fix the scars he suffered in the accident." His attorney said Milo "will have lifetime pain."
The driver of the Mercedes took off, stopping later not to call for help for Milo, left bleeding at the scene, but for service for his damaged luxury sedan. In Milo's words, the man "fled and left me for dead on the highway," a serious felony.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoodsDirect (AD)
Or it would be if you or I had committed the offense. But the driver that day was 52-year-old Martin Joel Erzinger, a Morgan Stanley Smith Barney money manager who oversees more than a billion in assets for "ultra high net worth individuals, their families and foundations." District Attorney Mark Hurlbert was apparently concerned with Erzinger's future — SEC rules would have required him to disclose the felony within 30 days of being convicted, which might have cost him his job — and decided to accept a misdemeanor plea, over the objections of Milo and his attorneys. "Felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in Mr. Erzinger's profession," Hurlbert said, "and that entered into [the decision]."
