Just ordered a SWR Trident 9 suppressor from silencershop.com for $474 with free shipping. Been comparing with GemTech Multi Mount and decided to go with the Trident 9 for my Glock 19 Gen4. What do you think of the price.. did i get a good deal?
Seller had contacted my local Class 3 dealer and submitted the transfer paperworks. Within 2 weeks i'll be getting the NFA Gun Trust with my local gun attorney for a $200 fee. Hopefully things will run smooth specially the waiting thingy. Thank you for the members in this forum for guiding me.
Congratulations. Can you tell me what contributed to your decision? My next can will probably be a centerfire pistol can and the Multimount is on my short list.
I googled and utubed the reviews between it and the gemtech mm. Plus its only $474 incl shipping. I believe they both are great and most popular.
Other than price is there any area that the Trident is significantly better than the MM?

We re quickly approaching Friday, September 25th the day the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus go on sale in the US, China, and 10 other countries. That means the iPhone reviews are due any day now giving us a first look at whether Apple's latest can live up to the rhetoric. It's a new week at the Verge which means the only thing that ll change in technology, entertainment, cars, and science, is everything.
But first, let's catchup with the Emmys and all the weirdness from the weekend.

On Tuesday, Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) voted for the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 in the Senate Intelligence Committee markup, which includes several of his proposals to help prevent leaks of classified information. The legislation provides new authorities to improve the operations and oversight of the intelligence community, recommends funding and personnel changes to the administration's budget request, and addresses a variety of reforms to rein in the disclosure of classified information.
"The recent series of high profile leaks of classified intelligence demands action from this Congress," said Coats. "I am pleased the committee adopted several of my proposals as part of a package of reforms to address these serious breaches in national security. Disclosure of classified information puts American lives at greater risk, as well as the lives of those who help the United States intelligence community."
"Senators Feinstein and Chambliss deserve recognition for their leadership on this issue," added Coats. "I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure these reforms are implemented quickly and effectively to prevent future irresponsible leaks."
The Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 cleared the committee by a vote of 14-1 and will now head to the full Senate for consideration at a later date.
Coats worked with the committee to include the following provisions in the bill to help prevent leaks:
A requirement that the executive branch notifies Congress when making certain authorized disclosures of intelligence information to the public;
A prohibition on current and former intelligence officials entering into certain contracts with media organizations; and
A provision to improve the intelligence community's ability to detect insider threats.

How Not To Be Disrupted by Digital
Posted by Krishnamurthy Shankar (View Profile | View All Posts) at 11:19 AM
The last telegram was sent out in India in July 2013, ending the service that was introduced more than 160 years ago. Frankly, I find myself wondering what took them so long. I, for one, don't remember the last time I sent a telegram. Yet, every morning - there are at least 100 emails waiting for me to read!
The telegram-to-email journey got me thinking about the realness of the irrevocable digitization around us, a phenomenon that is touching almost every aspect of our lives. How many apps do you have on your phone? When was the last time you held an analog camera, or spoke to a telephone operator for a long-distance call?
The way organizations are responding to this enormous change, even while being actors in effecting it (well, many of them), are interesting. The ubiquity of digital infrastructure is presenting endless opportunities for organizations to innovate and bring alive their ideas quicker than ever before. At the same time, digitization is also bringing the challenges of legacy systems, processes, and mindsets. How can an organization prepare to exist in a world that is constantly evolving and will continue to be in that 'steady state'?
At the heart of any organization lies its people and this will not change, digital disruption notwithstanding. Only people, people with incredible passion and unfettered imagination, can help organizations to thrive in a world that will be vastly different from the one in which we live today. Difficult as it may be for us to envision today, automation of jobs will eliminate only the mundane, repetitive, algorithm-worthy jobs. Leaving people with the time and the space to explore newer pursuits, go after better efficiencies in a world amplified by technology, and solve larger problems. The Paleolithic technologies, the Neolithic revolution, the Industrial revolution - we have continued to improve. We are on the cusp of another revolution today - the human revolution - made possible by technology.
As an organization, we have taken the initial steps to prepare for this revolution - or succeed in it, if it has already started. Can't put a date to such movements, can we? A historian in the future will do so in retrospection, and after erudite study.
We are living it.
Encouraging our people to do more, be more. We are arming them with lessons on Design Thinking (79,000 Infosys employees have been Design-trained on the last count). We are encouraging them to think about creativity, and how to bring innovation to everything that they do. To every project. Our Zero Distance initiative, which is yet to complete one year, is already making waves in approximately 8,000 projects - that's 90% of the delivery organization.
Dr. Vishal Sikka, in a recent BBC World Service interview, talks about an "enlightened organization" that delivers the best products and services, based on what is available and relevant, driven by education and learning. He emphasizes that in a pervasively connected world, the challenge is not so much being better than competition, but being better than the threshold of relevance of the customer. Like I said, we are living it. And Dr. Sikka articulates our actions par excellence.

BP revolver for the newbie

I was unaware of the heat-treating issue surrounding BP guns..but I will truthfully fall into that demographic (probably) of playing with BP as an avocation and an aside to my cartridge toys.
I've been shooting BP guns seriously for about 2 years now since joining the N-SSA. I've had heat treating problems with virtually all of the BP guns I have.
I've had springs go soft in locks, you can see hands get worn on revolvers, and everyone knows about the soft screw heads that damage so easily.
I used to wonder that a BP revolver can be sold for $200 but a cartridge revolver, which is nearly identical in terms of machining operations, costs twice or even three times as much.
I'm pretty convinced that the reason why they are so much cheaper is the heat treatment and metallurgy. They know that a cartridge gun will be fired thousands of times in its life. It is trivial to shoot 5 rounds at a session with a cartridge gun. It has to hold up not only to repeated and often use but the high pressures of modern smokeless loads.
But a BP gun might not get shot by many buyers 50 times
a year
. A fair number of BP shooters no doubt shoot them once, discover what a comparative dirty mess they are, and put them on a mantle or in a closet. It's only when you use them a lot, like shooting them 50 or more times a month, that you discover their shortcomings.
While I've seen actual broken parts, usually the problem is related to poor heat treating.

Louisville resident Gayle DeGasperis received a double honor this month at Aultman's annual employee recognition dinner. In addition to receiving her 40-year service award, she was named Aultman Hospital's Employee of the Year.
The Employee of the Year award is designed to recognize employees who consistently go above and beyond their job expectations, while demonstrating the mission and vision of Aultman Health Foundation. DeGasperis is a well-deserving recipient of the honor.
She began her career at Aultman as a bedside nurse and serves as a registered nurse care coordinator for AultCare's Home Medical Department. She was recognized for consistently exceeding customer expectations and for her positive representation of Aultman in the community.
DeGasperis has impacted the long-term health of many of her patients, assisting them in implementing lifestyle changes to improve their conditions. She always interacts with patients in a pleasant and thorough manner, ensuring they understand their medications and follow-up instructions.
"She genuinely exemplifies what an Aultman employee should be," said Sue Olivera, vice president of human resources. "We are so fortunate to have employees like Gayle here at Aultman."
The annual event was held May 15 at the Canton Memorial Civic Center, with more than 850 employees in attendance, celebrating milestones ranging from five years to 50 years of service at the organization.
Aultman employee Carol Shank celebrated a very special milestone, her golden anniversary with Aultman, and was honored with a long and well-deserved round of applause as the sole employee to earn the honor this year.
In addition, a total of 16 "Keys to Success" and "Rising Star" award recipients were honored during the recognition dinner. Keys to Success awards are designed to recognize those individuals whose deeds or actions stand out to their peers as best representing Aultman to patients, employees, the medical staff, the board of directors and the community. Keys to Success winners actively promote safety, service and teamwork, in addition to promoting Aultman's mission and values. Area residents who received the award included Jeremy Cline and Cheryl Royer, both of Louisville.
An additional seven Aultman employees received Rising Star awards, including area resident Maria Dillon, of Louisville. The Rising Star award recognizes employees with less than ten years of service who show potential for advancement, enthusiasm in promoting Aultman and ways to improve services offered.

Fisrt Slackware install
I'm new here, first time poster, and first time Linux installer. I installed slackware 14 on an IBM PC and I think it mostly went OK, but there is a few things that I'm unsure how to proceed. I read online that I'm supposed to use CUPS to setup my printers and I get an error when I try to connect to localhost:631 I can ping localhost ok but it wont load in Mozilla. Is there another way to setup the printers? There is already another Linux computer on the network that was setup by Linux tech and it is the print server. So I guess I need to point to those, that Linux version is 15 years older, but it is also slackware. Please help.
Sincerely, Rockitglider7
Why did you decide on Slackware for your first Linux install?
You really should have chosen a distro that doesn't make you sit down, research, figure out, and implement everything for yourself, from scratch.
If your goal with this install is to spend the next few weeks/months learning how Linux works at its core, then that's fine, but if your goal is to get the machine up and running and being productive within a reasonable amount of time, you should choose another distro.
Just my opinion.
Which Distro(s) would you recommend for a novice, suicidaleggroll?
Depends on the application. For desktop use, Mint, OpenSUSE, etc. should be fine. For enterprise/server use, RHEL, CentOS, Debian, etc. should be fine. These distros allow you to configure things on the command line using config files if you want, but they don't force you to.
Of course there are more that would work too, but these are the ones I'm most familiar with.
Yes the reason I chose slackware is because that was what was existing and My friend that I am doing this for wanted to stay with slackware, and yes I kinda wanted to spend some time with it and learn about it. My friend is not in a hurry and is willing to let me learn on his system. I am learning a lot fast but I get frustrated a little with certain things. But please help if you can as I am willing to learn.
Hi Rockitglider7. I think Slackware is a good choice if you really want to learn all the ins and outs of Linux, I would suggest you to post your questions about setting up Slackware in the Slackware sub forums here in the LQ site. There is lots of good infor there and the users that hang out there are nice when it come to helping.
If you click there on the forums look on the Linux distributionn sub category then click on the SlackWare
Here is the direct link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/
good luck to you
I reported this thread, so that it will be moved to the Slackware forum.
I do not know much about print-servers, but if you want connect to the CUPS subsystem the first thing to check is if CUPS is running on your system. Check if /etc/rc.d/rc.cups is executable, so that it is autostarted when you boot the system. If in doubt post the output of
ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
Moved: This thread is more suitable in <SLACKWARE> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.
OK great,
Thanks for your help, and I will check this
"If in doubt post the output of
ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.cups" but can't get to it until the AM
I get an error when I try to connect to localhost:631?
what sort of error, is mozilla asking to confirm a security exception?
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups needs to be marked executable to automatically start the CUPS server on boot; this is not done by default, unless you specificlly did so at the end of the install process. Then the CUPS web interface should work. As root:
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
See also:
Please stop emitting opinions out of your fourth point of contact.
kingbeowulf Gave you some good info, that will make it executable. The way I do it most of the time is make it executable
as described then open up "system" from the "menu" and go to Print Settings and tell it to connect.
You have chosen a great distro to start with and it is not really that complicated. After making the file executable you will forever know how to do that to any file and there is always great help on this forum along with Google.
another way is run (as root) pkgtool, select Setup, select services, scroll to CUPS and set mark on it ([ * ]) with spacebar, confirm selection with Enter and then Exit from pkgtool.
As for me, chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups is simple enough.
Now, cups will start at every boot. But it is still stopped, so we can start it manually for this boot:
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
or restart machine, like windows users do.
Now you can browse to localhost:631/admin to setup printing with CUPS.

A new video reenacting the revolution in the Arab world has just hit YouTube and is rising the viral charts faster than you can say Gaddafi. The video parody likens Ben Ali, Mubarak and Gaddafi to the three little pigs and, instead of the Big Bad Wolf, the revolutionists are – you guessed it! – Angry Birds.
The video, called "Three Big Pigs" starts out with one pig, sporting Ben Ali's glasses and haircut, singing the lyrics to Disney's 'Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?', "I built my house of straw! I built my house of hay! I took my flute; I don't give a hoot; and I play around all day!" Mubarak built his house of sticks and twigs. The Angry Birds easily beat the Ben Ali and Mubarak "levels", crushing the houses of both leaders. Gaddafi, on the other hand, built his house of stones and bricks. So, it took the Angry Birds a few tries to destroy his house.
The video was uploaded to YouTube less than 24-hours ago, and it is already taking off, spreading like wildfire. According to the view count, it has only been watched 472 times. But the video already has 1,780 likes, meaning that we should be seeing a boom in viewership any time now. YouTube tends to take a little while to catch up when the views first start taking off. I love the old-fashioned Looney Tunes style of the animation.
Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments. If you like this, be sure to check out our list of 10 Hilarious Angry Birds videos.

My name is Danielle. Friends of the children call me Mama D if they cannot remember my name. I am 35 years old and reside in Apopka, Florida with my husband, Michael, 48.
Michael, and I have three children together, a boy age 5.5 and two girls ages 4 and 1. I also have two older children that do not live with us from a previous relationship. I have been a SAHM since 2003
Together as a family we love to visits playgrounds, indoor and outdoor, going to the beach, swimming in the pool, playing with play dough, finger painting, we love gardening because it is a great way to teach them science and sometimes just sitting around the house doing absolutely nothing but eating popcorn, watching a good movie and sharing a caffeine free coke. We really enjoy doing this on rainy days.
Sometimes when it is a rainy day we will clear out the family room and pull out our wooden railway system and set it up in the family room and play with the trains for hours.
There is NEVER a dull moment in our household. Our 5.5 year-old d/s loves playing with our trains and his hot wheels. Our four year old d/d loves to play dress up and she professes that she is going to one day be a ballerina and a figure skater. We do not know what our 1-year-old d/d wants to be just yet but I can bet it is going to be something amazing.
Michael is an independent commercial real estate broker who works out of a firm in Winter Park. He has been there since 1995 and has been in real estate for over 20 years.
As for me, well I volunteer any spare time to animal rescue and have plans on going back to college and becoming a veterinarian. I would eventually like to obtain a 501C3 and start a Non-Profit organization dedicated to helping animals. I have a strong passion for animals and pray that the children inherit this loving quality.
At the present time our family cares for 6 abandoned cats, two rescued dogs, three rescued cockatiels and a cockatiel that we inherited when my sister in law passed away a few weeks ago and one that was given to our four year old daughter for her fourth birthday that was on June 3rd and two goldfish. So in a nutshell we have a mini zoo.
Well that about sums up my little family. I look forward to getting to know this group better, meeting and greeting new friends.
Until then I wish you all the best!
Kindest regards,

EN - Screams from baby boy's siblings foil attempted abduction
Sun, Mar 15, 2015, 01:03 AM
A baby boy who was seen on video being abducted by a man in a park in the US state of Washington was saved thanks to his two young siblings screaming and giving chase, authorities said. Law enforcement officers said the man was captured on video as he approached the 22-month-old boy and his two siblings on Sunday as they played unattended at a small town park in eastern Washington state, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said. The child was finally reunited with the family. . .

Bristol Palin and her 15-month-old son Tripp appear in a new Candie's Foundation PSA advocating against teen pregnancy.
"What if I didn't come from a famous family?" asks Palin, who welcomed Tripp in December 2008 when she was just 18 years old, as cameras flash to photos of her on the campaign trail of her with former Vice Presidential nominee mom Sarah Palin. (She has since split from fiance Levi Johnston.)
PHOTOS: Controversial celeb moms
"What if I didn't have all these opportunities?" she asks again. "Believe me, it wouldn't be pretty."
The ad's message: "Pause before you play," she says somberly.
PHOTOS: Bristol and Levi's happier days
Bristol will also advocate abstinence when she plays herself in ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager this summer.
"I am thrilled to be on this show and to be a part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy," Palin said.

UPDATE: Xcel urges conservation as crippled pipeline is restored; trooper hurt in rear-end collision; more state news
Xcel Energy now expects one of three natural gas pipelines shut down by a weekend explosion to be back at full capacity by this afternoon. But the utility is still asking its customers in northwest Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota to conserve as much as they can.
Xcel receives much of its natural gas from the three knocked-out pipelines -- one of which exploded in Manitoba Canada on Saturday.
Utility spokeswoman Mary Sandok said it's clear that customers responded when its appeal first went out on Saturday. That's despite another bout of cold and windy weather that reached Wisconsin Sunday night.
Xcel's natural gas customers are still being to turn down their thermostats, and avoid using gas-powered appliances if they can.
Meanwhile, Gov. Scott Walker was to meet Monday morning with people involved in the propane fuel shortage, before determining his next move.
On Saturday, Walker declared a state-of-emergency, and authorized National Guard troops to help residents who need it. About a 250,000 Wisconsin homes heat with propane.
The cold winter is partially to blame for the shortage -- as well as the recent shutdown of a key pipeline, and the heavy use of propane by farmers to dry their grain last fall. That's jacked up fuel prices from last winter's high of 1.50 per gallon to $5 or more.
Some suppliers say they've stopped taking new customers, because they're having trouble serving the ones they have.
One Marinette man said his winter supply got down to 10 percent -- and three propane suppliers refused to serve him until a relative was able to help out.
Trooper injured near Menasha; St. Croix deputy's squad rear-ended
Whiteout conditions Sunday afternoon closed Hwy. 63 east of Erin Prairie for more than an hour as authorities pulled ditched cars and later, attended to a St. Croix County sheriff's deputy whose squad car was struck from behind as he sat in the driver's seat.
Captain Jeff Klatt said Deputy Charles Coleman was following a tow truck from the scene of an accident at about 10 miles an hour on Hwy 63 just past the intersection of County Rd. G when he was rear ended by another car.
Coleman's 2013 Dodge Charger cruiser was heavily damaged. His initial report to the communications center said he suffered some back pain and the Baldwin ambulance was summoned to evaluate two children in another vehicle that was also struck.
Coleman and another deputy, a State Trooper and St. Croix County Highway Department personnel worked for nearly two hours in the problem area, near the intersection of CTH G and Hwy. 63. The closure occurred between about 2:30 and 4 p.m. when winds were gusting above 40 mph.
In eastern Wisconsin, a state trooper was hospitalized after he got pinned against the back of his squad car. The accident happened just before noon Sunday on the Highway 41 expressway near Menasha.
The trooper was investigating a crash in the southbound lanes. Officials said he was getting equipment from his trunk when another car slid out of control and pinned him between the two vehicles. Officials said the trooper was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. The officer and his condition were not immediately disclosed.
The State Patrol and Winnebago County sheriff's deputies are continuing to investigate.
Parts of southwest Wisconsin also had blizzard conditions last night. Grant County took its snow plows off the roads. Firefighters in Fennimore rescued people from stranded cars. Prairie du Chien officials urged people not to travel due to its blizzard conditions, as winds in that area hit 57 mph last night.
Meanwhile, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation said vehicles take out around 4,000 highway signs each year and that number increases as the roads get slicker.
Drivers often have to pay to replace whatever signs they break. DOT sign engineer Matt Rauch says the costs range from $25 for a simple speed limit sign, to almost $10,000 to fix the large green specialized Interstate signs.

UPDATED: Milltown man killed in car-pedestrian strike; ice fisherman succumbs after spill
BALSAM LAKE -- A 34-year-old Milltown man was pronounced dead at the scene of a car-pedestrian accident which occurred early Sunday morning on Hwy. 35 in Luck Township.
Polk County Sheriff Peter Johnson identified the victim as Chad M. Hansen, of Milltown.
Johnson said Monday that deputies were notified at 2:12 a.m. that a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus driven by Jeanne S. Fisher, 32, of Frederic, was southbound on Hwy. 35 when she struck a male subject who was walking southbound in the traveled portion of the roadway.
Fisher was subsequently arrested for homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle and causing injury by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle.
The crash occurred about two-tenths of a mile north of 240th Avenue.
Elsewhere over the weekend, an ice fisherman died in southwest Wisconsin after he fell and hit his head on an icy street.
Iowa County authorities said 52-year-old Doug Halverson was planning to go ice fishing in the village of Mifflin on Saturday afternoon.
Officials said he was walking on a snow-covered road when he fell and struck his head. Halverson stopped breathing.
A bystander attempted CPR before rescuers arrived and took him to a hospital -- where he died.
Obama to visit Waukesha Thursday
WAUKESHA -- President Obama will visit here on Thursday.
He'll talk about the economy during a visit to General Electric's Waukesha gas engine facility. Obama will deliver his annual State of the Union speech Tuesday night, and the Wisconsin visit will be part of the normal presidential follow-up tour highlighting key parts of his address.
The White House says it will announce more details about Obama's visit later in the week.
Tuesday forecast as coldest morning of the week
It started warming up a little in Wisconsin by 7 a.m. but wind-chill factors were still at 40-below in Menomonie and New Richmond.
The state's coldest wind chill was reported near Frederic in Polk County, at minus 46. Siren had the state's coldest actual temperature at 7 a.m. with -19. River Falls recorded -15 at 5 a.m.
No place in the state was above zero at that hour. Wind-chill warnings and advisories continue at least through mid-morning Tuesday. Wind chills could bottom out at minus-55 Tuesday morning -- which is predicted to be the coldest morning of the week.
Even southern Wisconsin is expecting wind chills of around 50-below. Actual temperatures could hit minus 30 overnight Monday.
Blowing snow remains in the forecast, but no new accumulations are planned except along Lake Superior -- where another one to three inches are possible Monday.
Two Wisconsinites collect Grammys
Two Wisconsin natives won Grammy Awards Sunday.
Wauwatosa native Mike Maher won his first Grammy for the Best "R" and "B" Performance. He's the trumpet player for the rock and jazz group Snarky Puppy, which was honored for its song "Something."
Viroqua native Butch Vig won his third Grammy as a compilation producer. He put together the soundtrack for a documentary by Foo Fighter Dave Grohl called "Sound City," about the place where several ground-breaking albums were recorded.
Both awards were presented before the CBS telecast of the Grammys Sunday evening.
Trains rarely derail, commissioner reminds MADISON -- Citizens need not worry about being on a train that derails in the bitter cold. State Railroad Commissioner Jeff Plale said 99.97 percent of all freight trains complete their shipments without incident.
He said the last time a passenger train derailed in Wisconsin was in 2010, and the weather had nothing to do with it. Despite that, Amtrak canceled half its normal runs Monday on its Milwaukee to Chicago Hiawatha line. Amtrak said it wanted to maintain service while reducing exposure to "extreme weather conditions" that are in the forecast.
Nineteen cars of a Union Pacific coal train derailed earlier this month in Racine County, due to a track that broke up because of the cold.
In Janesville, part of a Wisconsin & Southern grain train jumped the tracks last Friday. Officials said the cold might have caused a malfunction on a switch.
The two recent incidents are rare. Wisconsin reported seven train derailments for all of last year -- and an average of 15 over the past five years.
Felon welder who surprised Walker will keep his job
MADISON -- It appears Christopher Barber will keep his job.
The 32-year-old Two Rivers man was hailed by Gov. Scott Walker during his State of the State address last week only to learn later that Barber was a sex offender in his former life.
The Ariens snow-blower plant in Brillion said it was considering Barber's job status, after both the company and the governor's office failed to check his background before highlighting him.
Company spokeswoman Ann Stilp now says Ariens continues to support Barber as an employee. Milwaukee area labor law expert Janet Heins tells the Journal Sentinel it would be hard to terminate Barber, as long as he didn't lie on his job application.
Heins said people can only be fired for things substantially-related to work -- and she couldn't see how Barber's earlier convictions have anything to do with his job as a welder.
For the State of the State presentation, the governor's office asked employers to nominate workers hired during Walker's term, as an example of how the economy has grown since he's been in office.
Stilp told the Journal Sentinel that Ariens took the full blame for the oversight of Barber and they've told that to the governor's staff.
Initiative would expand job training for the disabled
MADISON -- Wisconsin lawmakers will be asked to spend $800,000 to expand an on-the-job training program for employees with disabilities.
Walker mentioned the effort in his State of the State address last week. Walker wants to expand the program from seven companies to 27 in the next three years.
The governor promises to highlight companies and groups which help people with disabilities, as he speaks around the state.
Walker is also telling state agencies to help shore up public and private efforts to improve job opportunities for the disabled.
Disability Rights Wisconsin says about 9 percent of the state's workforce is made up of people with disabilities but their employment is only a-third of others, and they make an average of 30 percent less.
When he unveiled his plans to lawmakers, Walker introduced the person who inspired them. Patrick Young, who has Down's syndrome, challenged the governor to put together a specialized box as fast as he could at a plant in Menomonee Falls.
Walker fumbled the job, while Young completed it in only a few seconds.
Advocates for the disabled say the Walker program is not charity -- it's about helping businesses with their bottom lines, and helping the state get the most from its labor force.
Also, a state lawmaker who convinced his colleagues to approve four bills to fight heroin addiction is proposing two more.
Assembly Republican John Nygren of Marinette is asking lawmakers to co-sponsor his new measures.
One would create regional opiate treatment centers in under-served regions. The other bill would create gradual sanctions for convicts who violate terms of their releases, in the hopes that addicts would get faster treatment.
Two weeks ago, the Assembly approved four other measures proposed by Nygren -- whose daughter has been struggling with heroin and nearly died from an overdose.
The bills would allow trained responders to administer Narcan, which counteracts heroin overdoses, grant limited immunity to those who report overdoses to law enforcement, create more drug collection drives and require I-D's for those buying prescription narcotics.
UW Baraboo dean resigns for UP job
BARABOO -- The dean of the two-year UW branch campus at Baraboo has officially been hired as the new president of Lake Superior State University in Upper Michigan.
The Sault Sainte Marie school announced last week that Thomas Pleger was their remaining finalists.
The school's Board of Trustees approved the hiring on Friday, and Pleger will begin July first. Pleger was among 50 candidates hoping to replace Tony McClain, who announced a couple years that he'll retire.
Pleger, a tenured professor, has run the Baraboo-Sauk County campus since 2006. Before that, he was an associate dean at the UW's Fox Valley college.
Pleger also taught at UW Madison, La Crosse, Marinette, and Lawrence of Appleton. Lake Superior State has around 3,000 students.

text: Spies Gets Eighth Pole Henny Ray Abrams | August 30, 2008BRASELTON, GA, AUG 30: Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Ben Spies led a Suzuki sweep of the top three positions with his eighth pole in a row in final Superbike qualifying for the Suzuki Superbike Showdown at Road Atlanta. The lap of 1:23.421 mins. was a new record for the slightly reconfigured 12-turn, 2.55-mile road course. "We just went out on some race set-up and got going pretty good, pretty consistent," Spies said. "With everything up in limbo, I just wanted to put in as good a lap as we could and if we got a point, we got a point and if we didn't, we didn't. I kind of took it turn by turn and I knew I was on a good one. I kept going with it and it was a decent lap. We just kind of watched to see what everybody else was doing and that was about it. "It was a pretty clean session, everything went pretty good. We made some changes to the bike last night and made it better. Hopefully it will be a good race." Teammates Mat Mladin and Tommy Hayden were second and third, respectively, as they'd been on Friday. But their Friday times had been disallowed after their crankshafts were found to be out of compliance. Spies' crankshaft, on visual inspection, was said to be legal by AMA Pro Racing officials. "My bike has been good all year," Spies said. "It's a mess what's going on and I'm not getting involved with that. I don't know what's going on but it's a definite mess. It's not up to me so I can't speak for anybody on it." Filling out the front row was Yamaha's Jason DiSalvo, with teammate Eric Bostrom leading off row two from the Monster Kawasaki of Jamie Hacking. Jordan Suzuki's Aaron Yates was seventh with Monster Kawasaki's Roger Lee Hayden eighth. Hayden broken a bone in his left hand during Friday Superbike qualifying and withdrew this morning.

The Role of Microfinance in Asset-Building and Poverty Reduction: The Case of Sinapi Aba Trust of Ghana
The paper evaluates the extent to which Sinapi Aba Trust has contributed to poverty reduction among rural and urban poor especially women by supporting them with small loans to expand their businesses to generate income to build up their asset base. Using a cross-sectional data from 547 respondents, the study found that participation in the programme has enabled established clients to own savings deposits and subscribe to a client welfare scheme which serves as insurance to pay off debts in times of illness or death. Established clients were also found to be in a better position to contribute towards the education of their children and payment of healthcare for members of their households as well as contribution towards the purchase of household durables. The study noted that programmes that are financially sustainable have greater effects on participants, and that there is the need for clients' graduation to benefit most from participation in such programmes.

West Columbus Neighborhood On Edge After Bullets Hit Homes, Cars
People in a West Columbus neighborhood are a little more on edge after a number of shots were fired into their homes and cars early Friday morning.
Residents on Avondale Avenue said the bullets never traveled inside their homes, but they caused enough damage and made enough noise to rattle everyone to the core.
Yashana Lawrence said she woke up to the gunfire. "I heard pop, pop, pop, pop, pow."
Bullets sliced through the siding of her home.
"So I jump up and look out the window and I see a little white car parked…and I see the guys jump back in the cars and pull off and go down the street," Lawrence said.
Even more worrisome, was that she said her young children were asleep on the very side of the house that was shot. "So if anybody got hit, it would have been me and my daughter or one of my youngest babies."
"I was mad, I was angry when my mom first told me. I was angry, I was highly upset," Lawrence's son Nyrek said.
Nyrek said he was not home at the time of the shooting, but, their next-door neighbor Teresa Beachman said she had a full house when bullets pierced her walls.
"We woke up to a bunch of gun shots," Beachman said.
Beachman said the gunman also fired several shots at her van, causing radiator fluid to spill in the streets and upwards of $100 dollars in repairs.
"We hear gun shots in the neighborhood, off and on, but we never hear them quite so close and nothing this close to home," Beachman said.
Neither family said they know why the shooting happened or who pulled the trigger.
What they did say, is they now worry about something so basic- safely walking in and out of their own homes.
"I'm glad that nobody got hurt, regardless of the situation or the reason, I'm glad nobody got hurt. But it was senseless," said Beachman.
Lawrence told 10TV she moved her family to the area to escape the violence plaguing their previous neighborhood.
Now they said they were thinking of moving again. "Might be time to get out."

TCF members have given me a new perspective of the season, causing me to be more reflective and appreciative of the loved ones in my life, and to have a better understanding of the challenges the bereaved face at this time of year.
No matter where the bereaved person is in the grief process, and no matter how long ago the death of their child or the circumstances of the death, the parents, grandparents and older siblings are welcome. Some are referred to the group by hospitals or a funeral home. Some, like Joe Annis, come to TCF reluctantly at the outset.
Annis' sister, Katie, died unexpectedly of heart failure on July 8. His parents started attending TCF first and asked Joe to join them for the October TCF meeting. October was Katie's birth month. She would have been 24 this year. At TCF meetings, families are encouraged to share about the child they have lost during the child's birthday month.
"I thought, 'Do I really want to do this kind of thing?'" Annis, 29, says. "I really didn't want to go, but went to support my parents."
At the time, "I was having tons of problems, mostly because I felt like I had to be the strong one in the family," he says. "I watched my parents crumble, watched my sisters crumble. I felt I had to be that person who held everyone together. Because of that, it was hard for me to grieve."
He expected to sit quietly and stoically, but surprisingly found the words and pent-up feelings poured out.
"I balled my eyes out that night," he says. Sharing his pain and perspective helped others.
"The question I always get from people is, 'How are your parents doing?' followed by, 'I can't imagine what they're going through,'" says Annis, who is a nurse and medical informatics specialist at St. Joseph Hospital. "People say there's no love you'll ever feel like that for a child. Well, I loved my sister. I know my sister loved me. I wanted people to understand that."
His words helped others, too.
"The biggest thing out of that meeting was that there was only one other person there who was a sibling" he says. "I think it helped the parents there see what their children were feeling."Michelle Amstutz is further along in her grief process. Still, the wounds of losing her son Josh at age 22 are raw.
Certain things trigger tears, even though it has been more than five years since Josh died in a motorcycle-truck accident in rural Fort Wayne. Amstutz and her husband, Keith, are TCF Fort Wayne Chapter leaders.
"The first year you are so numb," she says.. It's hard to grasp that this is the life you are living. Then you start to thaw. You realize you are among the living and that you must go on, but as a parent you feel guilty that you're still here."
Even when grieving parents or siblings begin allowing themselves bits of happiness, "You think you should be feeling pain. You want to feel pain. It takes a while to learn that it's OK to be happy again," Amstutz says.
Some turn to harmful ways of coping — alcohol, withdrawal, lashing out, for example. TCF does not replace professional help, but aids bereaved families in positive resolution of their grief. TCF also provides community education for employers, professionals and anyone impacted by the death of a friend's or loved one's child.
Some who contact the group may never attend a meeting in person but find help via emailing members and through TCF educational materials.
For Amstutz and her family, the annual candle lighting ceremony is a soothing balm at an especially difficult time of year.
"We dread September through the end of December," she says.
September was the month Josh died. November was his birthday — and now songs on the radio ring out phrases such as, "It's the most wonderful time of the year."
"Keith and I knew people who had lost children, but we could never comprehend the intense pain," Amstutz says. "It's like you're stabbed in the heart, or your arm is cut off. Grief is like a chronic illness. I feel like I'll always be a bereaved parent. We're changed people."
This Thanksgiving was the first one without Katie for Annis and his family. Though she was not at her usual place at the table, he wanted to acknowledge her, to remember the joy she brought and not to ignore the elephant in the room.
"When we were saying grace before dinner, I said something about Katie," he explains. "I wanted to get it out there, to mention her." He finds comfort when people talk about Katie rather than avoid her name.
"I have many, many days when I'm angry. I have absolutely terrible days," he says, adding TCF is helping him get through, as is his faith in God. "It's OK to question God and stuff, but you've got to get that stuff out. People are afraid to feel good again, but you have to move on. You have to make new memories.
"Katie would want that."

Ask The Spider #52Richard Dickinson |
What is the best economy-rate for a one-Test wonder who has bowled at least 10 overs?
Pakistan's Farrukh Zaman played his only Test against New Zealand in 1976/77, bowling exactly 10 overs and conceding just 15 runs. However, he did not take a wicket and was never given another chance.
How many wicketkeepers have opened the batting on Test debut?
22, though just a couple in the last 34 years. The first was John Selby in the very first Test of all, and Alfred Lyttleton did the same in the first Test in England. 14 of these came between 1932 and 1964/65. Exactly half opened in both innings of their Test debut.
In 2004, Andrew Strauss made a century on Test debut in the first-innings and Nasser Hussain made one in the second-innings and promptly retired. Has there ever been another instance of a debut centurion and a last-game centurion in Test history?
Only one, and remarkably it came just 3 years prior to Strauss and Hussain's. Though Saeed Anwar and Taufeeq Umar (who opened Pakistan's batting in their only innings of the match and put-on 168) had the dubious distinction of making their stand against the palpably substandard Bangladeshis.
What is the most number of catches taken on Test debut, as a fielder?
Seven. India's Yajurvindra Singh, brought into the side against England in the 1976/77 as a middle-order batsman and part-time seamer, took five catches in the first-innings of the match and two in the second. This, remarkably, broke Australia's Victor Richardson's record for the most catches in any innings, and equalled the record for most in a match. Remarkably, he now shares this with one of Richardson's grandsons, Greg Chappell.
What's the best figures on ODI debut for a serious side against serious opposition, both before 1990 and after it?
Before 1 January 1990, the best figures are Australian Tony Dodemaide's 7.2-21-5; after it, the best are Allan Donald's 8.4-29-5. Both were taken in the second-innings, though Donald's were, remarkably, not sufficient to avert defeat for his side.
Is it true that the first Test wicket of the 20th-century and the last of the 19th were both run-outs?
Remarkably, yes, and even more remarkably, they involved the England and Australian captains. England's Archie MacLaren was the first of the 20th in the First Test in Australia in 1901/02, and the last of the 19th was Australia's Joe Darling in the Fifth Test in England in 1899.
When was Waqar Younis at his best?
Waqar's best performances were between the 1990/91 season and 1994/95. In this time, he took a quite astonishing 177 wickets at 17.31 in effectively 26 Tests (he played 27 but Pakistan did not get to bowl as the game was ruined by rain). He took five or more wickets in 21 of these 26 games. What isn't always acknowledged is that Waqar had a later spell of 30 Tests, between 1996 and 2000/01, where he took a further 113 wickets at 25.86. This was clearly below his earlier standards, but still above most people's.

Real estate experts for several months predicted that foreclosures in Tampa Bay would rise as lenders cleared a backlog of filings containing improper signatures.
So far, that hasn't happened.
Initial foreclosure notices in the Tampa Bay area decreased nearly 22 percent in May, according to a RealtyTrac report released today. Lenders delivered new notices to 2,110 homeowners around Tampa Bay.
Filings have dropped in six of the past seven months.
"It's not that surprising," said Scott Brown, chief economist with Raymond James in St. Petersburg. "The worst is behind us, but it's going to be a long way for a full recovery in the housing market."
Many Florida regions also recorded fewer foreclosure filings last month. Ocala was down 26 percent; Orlando, 14 percent; and Cape Coral-Fort Myers, 5 percent. Filings statewide fell 62 percent from May 2010, with Tampa Bay down 66 percent in the same period. One of every 461 homes in Florida received a notice last month.
Several Florida regions recorded increases. Sarasota-Bradenton and Miami-Fort Lauderdale both rose just above 2 percent. But compared with May 2010, those areas are down 47.84 percent and 61.73 percent.
Nationally, initial filings fell nearly 2 percent.
James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac, said the foreclosure situation is still being masked by the processing delays. He said lenders are somewhat unevenly pushing batches of bad loans through foreclosure as they overhaul their paperwork and documentation procedures.
The mixed foreclosure filings show that some markets, he said, can better absorb an increase of bank-owned properties.

yeah, I think so. I'll tinker with it again later tonight since I have to go to work now. So I should use like a 12V power supply then? I don't have the datasheet of the lamp, it's just a cheap lamp I could get and the packaging only says 12V, 50W and that's it.
oops, sorry it's a 12V DC lamp. I think I have a suitable power supply for that. Will give it a try later. Thanks for pointing me out Anyway, is there anyway to dim lamp using relay? I figure that the lamp would only turn on and off since it relies on the bridge inside the relay, and there's no halfway bridged connection. Am I right? So how do I dim the lamp?
ah, I get it. okay then. so can i use transistor for 220v ac lamp? I understand that it's okay to use it for a 12v dc one.

BASLE (Jul. 15)
At five o'clock this afternoon the Zionist Congress will reconvene and if by that time the steering committee has not yet broken the deadlock over the election of a new Zionist Executive the Congress itself will then use its sovereignty and will elect an Executive from the floor of the Congress so that the impasse in the committee may be overcome.
With practically its entire program completed the adjournment of the Congress is being held up by the inability of the steering committee to agree on the personnel of the new Executive. Scheduled to convene again at 5 A. M. this morning, the worn delegates waited up impatiently all night in the hope that their vigil would be rewarded by hearing a final report.
At the same time the steering committee was holding another stormy session at which no definite decision was reached. On the one hand the Laborites are demanding that several resolutions already adopted concerning internal Palestine affairs should be modified. On the other hand the steering committee has been unable to determine upon a successor in the Executive to Prof. Selig Brodetsky, who firmly refuses to enter the new Executive out of loyalty to his former chief, Dr. Chaim Weizmann.
After weary hours of waiting, the exhausted delegates at last heard the official announcement of Dr. Leo Motzkin, chairman of the presidium, that the Congress will resume its session at 5 P. M. The possibility is not excluded that the Congress may adjourn without electing a new Executive, in which case the Executive will be chosen by the new Zionist Actions Committee elected yesterday.
Before yesterday's session adjourned 52 members to the Council of the Jewish Agency were elected. These, together with the 58 members of the Actions Committee, will constitute the Zionist half of the Council's membership. The Revisionists refused to utilize the ten mandates assigned to them on the Council and the Congress completed the Zionist representation by electing ten others.

Cleaning the stove can be one of those chores that make a root canal seem more pleasant to endure. Still, it doesn't have to be that way if you don't want it to be. Consider your stove a mountain with many stubborn stains to climb at the top of which is sunshine and a sense of accomplishment. Ponder the following tips the next time you are faced with the formidable task of cleaning your friend and sometimes-charred companion, the stove.
Cleaning the Stovetop :
Most stovetops can be washed down with hot water and regular detergent. For those spills that have lived for a long time rent-free on your range surface or on those chrome and stainless steel parts, use a little baking soda and water. They will vacate the premises soon after you apply a smooth paste to the area and leave it on for five to ten minutes. Then wipe it off with a soft cloth and rinse with a solution of white vinegar mixed with water. Results are reminiscent of that old song, "Nowhere to run to, baby; nowhere to hide."
For the cleanest oven top on your block, mix equal parts warm water and ammonia. Apply, wait thirty seconds and then rub as necessary. Rubbing alcohol also brings a beautiful shine to your stovetop. To clean and shine those messy chrome burner trim-rings, rub well with a paste of vinegar and cream of tartar.
Stove Burner Drip-Pans
One quick way to clean burner drip pans and rings is to simply add them to your next dishwasher cycle (after asking permission first from the washer, of course. No need to offend an innocent appliance). For stubborn stains on drip-trays, place an ammonia-soaked cloth in it and leave it overnight. Wash off well with dish soap and water.
Remember that only you can prevent a dirty stove. (I ought to know. I have one.)
Happy Stove Cleaning.

Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters, an action flight simulator for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, will be released in the UK on March 9, 2012, Deep Silver has announced.
In Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters, players engage in air combat to end a civil war in the fictitious state of Azbaristan. Action takes place in 16 missions covering 65,000 square kilometres of mountains, deserts and urban landscapes, and includes 30 detailed jet fighters from the USA, Russia, Europe and China.
Multiplayer modes allow up to 16 fighter pilots to battle in the skies, or up to four players to work cooperatively to solve the conflict.
JASF isn't quite as catchy as HAWX, but the acronym does lend itself to some "hilarious" titles - Jane's Amazing Strawberry Flan is an example.

4 years, 7 months ago
I am using the WPstart template but I can only control the color of the entire background and of the Header Text.
The background of the menu, right under the header picture is simply white and I find it hard to see. Seeing that it's an important part of my site navigation, anyone have a quick fix to change the default color to something flashier?
I know little about HTML and CSS. Was wondering if there's a quick way to jump into the code, change a value and be set?

London (Sep. 19)
(By our London Correspondent)
The claims of a number of Arab Bedouins to land in Barrat Caesarea, near Haifa, for which the Jewish Colonization Association (Ica) holds a concession from the Palestine Government, are to be enquired into by a Commission which has been appointed by the Haifa Land Court, before which the case came up.
The Arabs claim 32,000 dunams of land, which they say they have been cultivating for fifty years. The Government representative contended, however, that the Arabs cultivated at most an area of only 800 dunam. The Commission appointed by the Court will investigate on the spot the extent of land which has actually been under cultivation by the Arabs, so that the Court should be able to deal with the claim.
The dispute over this land has been dragging for years, and has caused violent disturbances, as in February 1927 when a mob of Arabs led by Vadie el Bustani, a member of the Palestine Arab Executive, uprooted two thousand eucalyptus trees planted by the Ica. Bustani was afterwards ordered to pay a heavy fine for instigating the attack. It has also repeatedly formed the subject of discussion before the meetings of the Permanent Mandates Commission.
It was as far back as April 1914 that the Ica entered into an agreement with the local authorities concerning the marshes at Athlit and Kabbara, which, according to the Mandatory Power, were registered in the name of the Ottoman Government. The local authorities had approved the project in principle and at the outbreak of war awaited an endorsement by the Government of Constantinople. After the war negotiations were reopened between the Ica and the Palestine Administration.
In Novermber 1921, the Ica was granted the concession under which it obtained on lease from the Palestine Government for a period of 100 years, renewable under certain conditions, the marshes of Athlit and Zor Kabbara, the swamps of Mallaha and the sand-dunes of Caesarea, together with the hills and adjacent lands, pledging itself to commence within the course of three years and to continue within the course of eight years the following works: to drain all swamps; to cultivate all lands which are cultivable; to afforest all hills and stony land. Within the course of twenty years the Ica undertook to reclaim and plant all sand-dunes. All minerals and ores found on these lands belong to the Government. Also the right to exploit the mines and quarries belongs solely to the Government.
For the first 33 years, the Ica is to pay the Government £50 annually for Athlit, £50 annually for Mallaha, £30 annually for Caesarea, and in addition two piastres per annum for every dunam of sand-dunes and five piastres per annum for every dunam of non-sandy land. For the remainder of the lease period (67 years) the Ica is to pay in advance an annual sum to be fixed at the time. Five per cent. of the profits derived from the salt industry in the district belongs to the Government. The Ica will also have to pay all duties, the Ottoman public debt (on salt), land duties, customs.
The total area of the Kabbara Concession is about 10,000 acres. The entire Arab population of the whole area previously consisted of some 170 families comprising 840 persons. Seventy-five families claim that they have been dispossessed without compensation.
The Mandates Commission in its Reports on the claims has found that the statements of both parties (Arabs and Government) are very contradictory and somewhat confused. The representative of the Palestine Government contended that the complaint of the Arabs concerning the manner in which they had been compelled to give up their land in this area was mainly of a political nature. The Government insisted that this work of reclaiming and settlement, which is a heavy burden on the Ica, should be carried out in the general public interest.

The latest post on Ian McKellen's official Facebook page says, "I saw Bilbo in 3D today." This rather esoteric quip is perhaps more pregnant with meaning than it appears. It is obviously a reference to that fact that the two Hobbit movies are to be filmed in 3-D. But could it also mean that he has met up with Martin Freeman, the actor who will play Bilbo, in New Zealand? Quite literally seeing Bilbo in three dimensions.
While filming has been delayed until March 21 because of Peter Jackson's hospitalization, according to TheOneRing.net, McKellen was originally scheduled for his first shoot yesterday. So he had already arranged to be in country, and is there now. Several of the other main actors, including Freeman, have been there for a few weeks already. The wizard-reprising actor writes in his official Hobbit blog:
A wizard is never late: but I hadn't intended last Thursday to arrive in Wellington for The Hobbit filming, five weeks early. Yet, what's new? Just a year ago, touring New Zealand with Waiting for Godot, I had expected to start shooting in July 2010, with Guillermo del Toro in charge. …my plan to jump straight from Beckett to Tolkien had to be abandoned and I flew home for a prolonged break.
A year on, filming was to start at the end of February 2011. I curtailed a holiday in India to make sure I would be on time.
Then, while I was away, Peter Jackson had his stomach operation. The insurance company has insisted on five weeks recuperation. Which is why, yet again, I'm here early. Waiting for Bilbo.
Here's hoping it will be worth the wait.

CEO: Phase II Data Shows Cognitive Improvement in Juvenile Hurler Syndrome Patients
February 16, 2017
Alex Keown
, BioSpace.com Breaking News Staff
SAN DIEGO -- Enzyme replacement therapy drug Aldurazyme provided a lifeline for many children diagnosed with Hurler syndrome, a mucopolysaccharide disease. Lives of patients were extended by years. Now, an experimental therapy developed by tiny
, is providing a boost to the cognitive abilities of those patients.
ArmaGen's treatment is AGT 181, a novel enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of both somatic and cognitive symptoms in patients with Hurler syndrome, also known as MPS I. This week the company is presenting interim data from a Phase II study of 13 patients that shows four of five patients who have completed a 26-week regimen showed a significant improvement in cognitive function, as well as motor skill development.
Mathias Schmidt
chief executive officer
of Calabasas, Calif.-based
, told
in an exclusive interview that he was excited about the findings. Today the company presented its findings at the
13th annual WORLD
in San Diego. Schmidt said the findings show the company is on the right track in "putting action into hope."
That's a phrase that Schmidt keeps close to his heart. During a meeting with Hurler families, Schmidt said the mother of one patient told him she wished her child had cancer, because then there would be more hope.
"Hope is a terrible word until we turn hope into action," Schmidt said.
MPS I is a rare, hereditary, lysosomal storage disease that arises from a deficiency or absence of the enzyme iduronidase, which is needed to break down complex sugars produced by the body. MPS I affects approximately 3,000 to 4,000 patients worldwide. The most severe form of Hurler syndrome affects the brain and spinal cord in children, resulting in medical and cognitive challenges that can include developmental delay, progressive mental decline, loss of physical function, impaired language development, airway obstruction, corneal and retinal damage, carpal tunnel syndrome and restricted joint movement
ArmaGen, which has 15 fulltime employees, developed AGT-181 by re-engineering the enzyme iduronidase as a fusion protein with an immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody targeting the insulin receptor. Using its proprietary "Trojan Horse" technology, AGT-181 takes advantage of the body's natural system for transporting proteins and other large molecules non-invasively across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), in this case by binding the same receptor that transports insulin across the BBB into the brain, according to company information.

When ArmaGen's information was presented this morning by
Roberto Giugliani
, the physician leading the clinical trials, Schmidt said he wants Hurler parents to be a signal to that the company is "trying to put that hope into action."
At the meeting, ArmaGen's data indicated AGT-181 was responsible for improvements in neurological and cognitive function in four of five patients, as well as stabilization of neurological and cognitive function in the fifth patient. While some of the patients had severe cognitive impairments, Schmidt said the experimental therapy was responsible for significant improvements. For example, one nine-year-old patient had the cognitive ability equivalent to a newborn, but after treatment, the patient showed cognitive growth that was comparable to a nine month old. A 15-year-old patient taking the therapy saw a doubling of his abilities, which Schmidt said was an amazing improvement, especially considering the greater difficulty in the treatment crossing the blood-brain barrier at later ages. Although the patients are still significantly impaired, he said the growth they have shown is "a big victory."
"Can you imagine what their parents are feeling to see this kind of growth?" he asked.
Also, ArmaGen's data shows AGT-181 was similarly efficacious somatically, meaning the drug also stimulated positive results in the skeletal structure of the patients. Many MPS I patients have orthopedic issues, such as weak bones or hip dysplasia. Schmidt said standard enzyme replacement therapy does not treat the orthopedic issues, but data is showing that AGT-181 is having some kind of effect. That will have to be further studied, he said, but it provides additional support that ArmaGen is on the right track to treat the genetic disorder.
Schmidt said findings are still preliminary, but highly encouraging. He added that the drug and its Trojan Horse delivery method means there are additional disease indications it could be used to treat, including Rett Syndrome. He said this could "literally open a floodgate" to many other CNS diseases, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis.
Coming out of the
, Schmidt said he hopes the data will not only be encouraging for Hurler syndrome families, but also for potential partners who might want to work with ArmaGen and help take the trial into a critical Phase III.
"We need to stay honest and sincere with the message that we still have to go a long way to go before we get it (AGT-181) into the market and make it available to patients," Schmidt said .

Lazy or Benevolent?
Last week I peeked out at our cat sitting out in the yard, as he does most days, and saw this:
What??!! Aren't cats and rabbits mortal enemies? Either my cat is 1). ultra-lazy or 2). just generating some good karma. I'm hoping our Buddhist-tendencies toward benevolence are rubbing off on him too.
But seriously Oscar, don't let me catch you behaving like that if we ever find mice in our house.

That's really pretty amazing!ReplyDelete
Good, Kitty, kitty!ReplyDelete
Now that a wonderful capture! I had a couple cat that would not bother the mice,lol.ReplyDelete
My WW link for you
Wow! I don't know what our cats would have done. Well, no Char would have attacked the rabbit before the bunny even knew what to think. Athena, I'm not so sure. She'd probably bark at it like she does bugs. :DReplyDelete
Oh, I'm glad they shared the yard in harmony! LOL!ReplyDelete
LOL, that is tooooooooooooo funny!!!ReplyDelete
I had no clue they were supposed to be mortal enemies :)ReplyDelete
This is too funny!
How funny! :) We used to have a cat in our neighborhood (aptly named Scout) that would catch baby rabbits all the time. The moms in the neighborhood were mortified by this of course and were constantly "rescuing" the baby rabbits. That family moved away and now the rabbits are eating our gardens. Go figure.ReplyDelete
I think he is generating good karma! Maybe his lives are running short and he figures if he builds up more karma, it might translate into more lives? That is just crazy though. Pretty cool!ReplyDelete
We got a new little kitty last month (Destiny) and another little one last week (Derby). Derby looks just like your Oscar!ReplyDelete
ha! i would not have believed it without pictures!ReplyDelete
