Friday - 9/20/2013, 6:30pm ET CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- New
Hampshire public health officials say an autopsy has confirmed a
patient who may have exposed others to the rare brain disease
Creutzfeldt-Jakob (KROYTS'-feld YAH'-kuhb) died of it. After
the patient died in August officials suspected Creutzfeldt-
Jakob, an always-fatal disease characterized by rapidly
progressive dementia. But the only way to confirm it is through
a brain biopsy or autopsy. The patient had brain surgery at
Catholic Medical Center in Manchester in May. Officials warned
eight other patients they may have been exposed because the
proteins that cause the disease survive standard techniques used
to sterilize surgical equipment. Five others in Massachusetts
and Connecticut also were notified because the equipment was
rented and used elsewhere. But officials say such transmission
is extremely rare. |

The Japan Times One approach to acquiring new vocabulary that
I’ve always found effective is to seek out the 反対語 (hantai-go,
antonyms) of words. To prove my point, how about looking at
words that relate to “good” and “bad,” which are about as
opposite as you can get. The word for good, 良い (yoi, also read
ryō), is often written using only hiragana. However, sticking
with the kanji opens the door to many words, since 良 can be used
as a descriptive prefix to indicate that anything is good, such
as 良馬 (ryōba, a fine horse). Yoi, or ryō, work equally well
with abstract meanings, such as 良心 (ryōshin, literally a good
heart, i.e. one’s conscience) as used in expressions like
彼の良心が咎める (kare no ryōshin ga togameru, his conscience pricks
him). You can easily switch 良 to a negative meaning by adding 不

You will have to put it into a directory. All the entries in

wasn't a time warp. It was Saturday. There, on an auxiliary
field at the Giants' Scottsdale Stadium complex, were pitchers
playing pepper. This wasn't a recreational activity. It was
meant for pitchers, particularly the starters who must bat in
National League games, to improve their hitting skills. "I
think it's a good little drill to teach bat control," hitting
instructor Joe Lefebvre said. "It helps you with situational
hitting, moving the ball around. There are a lot of little
things you can gain with it." For the uninitiated, pepper
involves a player hitting lobbed throws back to one or more
teammates standing about 20 to 30 feet away. Accomplished pepper
hitters can essentially aim where they hit the ball, and slick
fielders can grab hard smashes. Pepper gradually became less
prominent in the 1980s. So were there some pitchers,
particularly Minor Leaguers, who had never playe |

REVIEW: 1983's "Terms of Endearment," starring Debra Winger,
Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson. Written and directed by
James L. Brook (from the novel by Larry McMurtry). THE PLOT:
Emma (Winger) is the rebellious daughter to Aurora (MacLaine), a
stuffy, emotionally distant mother who disapproves of her
daughter's husband (the always great Jeff Daniels) and life. It
takes Emma's illness -- and an affair with her neighbor
(Nicholson) -- for her motherly instincts to finally kick in.
MAYBE YOU REMEMBER: A sequel -- "The Evening Star" -- was
released in 1996, with MacLaine and Nicholson returning to play
their roles from "Endearment." The movie was a dud both with
critics and the box office. SURELY YOU CAN'T FORGET: The
supporting cast was simply amazing -- even the bit parts played
by Danny DeVito and John Lithgow. But Nicholson stole the show
as the raunchy, retired astronaut "Garrett Breedlove," a
character that didn't even exist in the novel. |

Medicine December 14, 2006 To be effective, the immune system
must “decide” which cells and chemicals need to be ramped up to
best destroy the invader at hand, be it bacterium, virus or
worm. In 1986, Tim Mosmann, Ph.D., now director of the David H.
Smith Center for Vaccine Biology and Immunology at the
University of Rochester Medical Center, led a team that first
described a new concept for how the immune system might make
such choices: the Th1/Th2 Model. A landmark in immunology, it
was a major step toward unraveling the system’s complexities.
Today’s study results show how the model continues to define new
players in the immune system and to suggest new treatment
approaches. “The point of the study is that each new detail in
our understanding of the immune system creates opportunities to
make changes that counter disease,” said Mosmann. “These

Interstate banking marks time while judges explore the merits
By Ruth WalkerStaff writer of The Christian Science Monitor /
June 25, 1984 Southeastern states have taken several long
strides over the past several weeks toward making regional
interstate banking a reality. But as they have done so, it has
been with one eye on the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New
York. Skip to next paragraph A case before that court will
determine the constitutionality of the regional interstate
banking concept. ''And the shoe may drop any day,'' as one
lawyer puts it. At issue is whether regional interstate banking
is an unconstitutional restraint of interstate commerce - if
states, once they decide to open their doors to out-of-state
banks, can pick and choose which states to let in. ''Basically
they're trying to avoid dealing with money center banks,''
especially New York banks, says one observer. Banks in this

medicines? Steroids are a type of medicine with strong anti-
inflammatory effects. They can reduce inflammation (redness,
swelling and soreness). They come in pill form, as inhalers or
nasal sprays, and as creams and ointments. Steroid pills help
treat inflammation and pain in conditions such as arthritis and

allergies. The creams and ointments can help some skin

medicines dangerous? Steroids are effective and lifesaving
medicines, but they can also cause side effects. These side
effects include thin skin, a higher blood sugar level, dry

abundantly clear by the ongoing global economic malaise. The
likely path to more sustainable levels of trade deficits,
however, remains far less clear. Consider the potential global
impact of populist cries for protectionist trade policies
ostensibly aimed at easing the difficult transition to more
sustainable trade and debt balances. In the event of a trade
war, we would all lose. Perhaps even more disquieting, however,
is how these consequences would most likely play out across
nations. The evidence presented in this commentary suggests that
countries like China, which depend heavily on total trade in
relation to their overall economy, would suffer most severely.
This evidence further suggests that instead of pursuing short-
term quick fixes that would exacerbate the malaise, global
leaders must work together to establish a long-term path to more

3.637894 | -2.702419 | 72 | Controversy: Is Usain Bolt taking performance enhancing drugs?
As we prepare to watch the 2012 Olympic Track and Field events,
all eyes are squarely on Jamaican sprinter and world record
holder Usain Bolt to see if he can match or surpass his
blindingly fast times from the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.
But does anyone care to investigate whether the world’s greatest
sprinter — Usain Bolt is on steroids? Usain Bolt’s Record
Breaking History In those 2008 Games, Bolt shocked the world by
smashing the world record in the 100m and 200m races, becoming
the first sprinter to ever crack the 9.7s barrier by running a
9.69s (including the early celebration that began 5m prior to
the finish line) in the 100m and a 19.30s in the 200m. The
following year at the 2009 World Championships, Bolt lowered his
time in the 100m to a seemingly impossible 9.58s and in the 200m
to a mind-numbing 19.19s. The Case in Favor of Usain Bolt’s

day. A couple of hours before dusk, she woke up naked on her
back on the front porch. Her legs were still spread wide, knees
slightly raised. Ma rolled over, facing the yard, then up on her
bottom elbow. Huge tits slid toward the ground; her top leg was
up, calf perpendicular to the ground, with her lower leg lying
flat, opening her crotch wide and clearly visible. There were
dried streaks of cum in patches all over her body; her blonde
pubic hair was matted. She saw us staring, but did not move or
try to hide anything. By that time, Pa and us boys all had our
britches on; no shirts and barefoot. "Water" was all she said
at first. Dad brought her a full bucket. She took a long drink,

were no similarities between the science portion and the actual

I will take it again February 10. Can you tell us what was
so different about the science portion? What type of subjects
were on the actual test that weren't in the book? This is where

-1.95207 | 1.039522 | 101 | Common estate transfer mistakes and how to avoid them. If
you're like three out of 10 Americans, Uncle Sam will be the
clean-up hitter when you die. The game doesn't have to end like
that, however, if you start making estate transfer plans now.
Procrastination is the leading cause of estate plans that never
quite make it on paper, says Bob Fetsch, family life specialist
at Colorado State University (CSU). He says too many producers
have good intentions of preparing a will but don't get it done,
and their children have to worry about the estate after they're
gone. "We create problems by waiting too long and because we
don't want to talk about death and what happens after it," says
Norm Dalstead, farm and ranch management economist at CSU. In
addition, Dalstead says most people don't understand what estate
planning tools are available to them. And often, he adds, they
don't know where to go to get qualified information.
