EDMONTON - A woman and two children are dead and another woman and a boy are in hospital with serious injuries after their small car was involved in a head-on crash near Westlock.
A 46-year-old man is facing charges of dangerous driving in relation to the crash, which occurred around 11 a.m. during Thursday's snowstorm. He also received injuries described by police as serious.
RCMP said the collision happened 85 km north of Westlock on Highway 44, involving a northbound Dodge truck and a small, southbound Ford car.
A 23-year-old woman, a four-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy in the car were pronounced dead at the scene. Another woman and a young boy who had also been riding in the car were taken to hospital with injuries RCMP said were serious.
The male driver of the truck was also taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The names of the accused and the three deceased have not been released by RCMP, nor has the relationship between the women and children in the car.
RCMP say highway conditions were poor at the time of the crash, with heavy snow and low visibility, and that other motorists helped at the scene until emergency crews arrived. Westlock received an estimated 40 cm of snow.
The truck driver is charged with three counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm. RCMP say alcohol is not believed to have been a factor.
Slave Lake Mayor Karina Pillay-Kinnee was among those who responded to news of the crash on Twitter late Thursday night, writing: "My heart aches with sadness to hear of our losses today. Thinking & praying for those in the hospital and for all those affected."
More to come ...

UPDATE: Romney Supporters Eagerly Back Their 'Hometown Hero' After Close Win in Michigan
'I was confident we could come together today and take a giant step toward a brighter future,' Bloomfield-area native tells backers after a tense primary day.
NOVI – Mitt Romney was looking for a little home cooking, and he got it.
The son of former Michigan Gov. George Romney who was born and raised in Bloomfield Hills needed a win to stop surging opponent Rick Santorum and ease fears that he couldn't take a state in which the economy is the issue. He ended up taking what many political pundits called a "must win" with 43 percent of the vote statewide and overwhelming support in Oakland and Wayne counties.
"It's a big, big win and I just wanted to come down here and join the rally and the celebration," Troy resident Bill McNeil said after leaving the ballroom where Romney gave his victory speech at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.
"I was a little worried earlier today when I saw the precinct I voted in empty, and there were rumors of Democrats trying to mess it up," McNeil explained. "But I was really hoping he'd be in this race because we need a new direction."
Romney's victory came, in part, with big margins of victory in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties. He finished with 50 percent of the vote in Oakland and again took the county by more than 20 percentage points. Unofficial results show that he swept both Bloomfield Hills precincts in overwhelming fashion and finished with 79 percent of the city's overall vote. In Bloomfield Township, Romney took all 32 precincts for roughly 71 percent of the total vote.
He won Macomb and Wayne counties each by roughly 9 percentage points.
Being from Michigan did make a difference for some new and previous Romney supporters at the polls Tuesday, but it didn't outweigh the serious problems the country is facing compared with four years ago, said Cori Easley of Royal Oak.
"I supported him four years ago and I do now because the country is desperate for change," she said.
Romney promised a lot of change during his primary night speech, which started shortly after Santorum spoke from Grand Rapids at about 10 p.m. A smattering of boos from the pro-Romney crowd filled the ballroom as Santorum appeared on television with rock music blaring in the background. But the jeers turned to cheers and chants of "Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!" when the former senator conceded the state.
"It was just a few weeks ago the pundits and pollsters were ready to count us out. I was confident we could come together today and take a giant step toward a brighter future," Romney said.
"Thank you Michigan. This is the place I was born, the place where I was raised and Michiganders in this room, we consider you family."
Romney didn't mention Santorum or his other Republican by name and spent the rest of his speech targeting President Obama with his plans to cut taxes and reduce the federal deficit.
"My biggest priority will be about saving your job, not how to keep my own," he pledged if voted into the White House. "Let's finally get a tax plan that puts America back to work. I've got it and will put it in place."
State Rep. Mark Ouimet, R-Scio Township, said he hoped that message resonated with Michigan residents and citizens around the country who were watching Tuesday's results with great interest.
"The biggest thing to take away is having less government that's more efficient and focused on the people instead of the elected officials," he said. "I think it was a great night for the party, for Mitt Romney and a great night for our state. Tonight showed we're on the comeback and turning things around with our governor and who we want to be our president."
Bloomfield Township Trustee Corinne Khederian said she expected it to be a close race all night, but was confident Romney would win.
She said she attended Monday's rally in Royal Oak that featured Michigan recording artist Kid Rock, and sees a much different Romney than the candidate she supported in 2008.
"He was more relaxed than I've ever seen him and he's confident in a way that's really relating to people and that's great to see," Khederian said. "He's getting better as a candidate."

The final statewide results -- Romney 41.1% (409,899), Santorum 37.9% (377,521) -- show just how close it was in spite of all the "home state" advantages (and the $5 million spent by Willard "Mitt" Romney and his affiliated SuperPAC, Restore Our Future).
Next Tuesday features Ohio, a state similar to Michigan except with a bigger delegate haul and none of this "home state" nonsense...and Rick Santorum again is leading in the polls. THAT should worry the Romney-ites just a tad.

All this talk about Romney`s home state! Blah blah blah.The guy left 40 years ago and never came back.He owns 5 houses and not one of them are in Michigan.
On another note,Romney keeps talking about GM and Chrysler should of went through the standard bankruptcy.He would of loved to by off parts of those companies for pennies on the dollar so he and his pals at Bain Capital could have added billions to their accounts.All at the expense of throwing hundreds of thousands of auto related jobs under the bus.Now there`s a guy who could care less about Michigan or it`s workers.
Clay S. Conrad

Romney won by default and because his daddy had ties here. If Romney had any real competition things would have been different.

Thank you Michigan! Thank you! ...from Ohio
12:05 pm on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Stupid Dems, they just don't get it! They think Obama helps the Big 3 sell more cars, rather than well-engineered products. Only thing that Obama did was screw over bond holders, auto dealers who voted GOP, and share holders. The unions took over GM and Chrysler thanks to some fancy legal and accounting foot work by Gettelfinger and Rattner. Bob King is still running around in a private jet and shouting socialist and left-wing shibboleths from the 1940s and 1950s. Meanwhile John Q. Taxpayer is paying for the goldplated pension and health benefits for these union clowns, their cronies and sycophants. These unionists think there is an unlimited pot of gold that is there in supporting Obama. Meanwhile, every kook leftwing cause gets supported in their alliance with Obama. When will these nutcases get it: the people are sick and tired of the union shenanigans, corruption and crimes!
Clay S. Conrad
10:36 pm on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Stupid Neocons, they just don't get it! They think Romney wanted GM and Chrysler to go bankrupt for some other reason than that he and his rich buddies could buy the corpses, sell the parts, and then ship the jobs to China!!! Meanwhile John Q. Taxpayer would be stuck with the tab. These think there is an unlimited pot of gold to be had from buying failing companies, borrowing heavily against them, and then bankrupting the company and keeping the cash! When will Neocon nutcases get it: the people are sick and tired of the Plutocrat shenanigans, corruption and crimes!
4:01 pm on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Do these Romney backers know his buddies took thousands of jobs out of the country? This family was effected by it. I know the people that backed him in 2008. Since then those companies have sent jobs out of here.
4:07 pm on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
EruditeEarlobe, you sound like a disgruntled worker that was turned down for an auto job. Where do you think the union worker spends their money? Have you even read what concessions private and public union workers have given back? Cracks me up that you think jobs would have stayed here had we never had unions. The jobs still would have left here for that .50 cent slave wage.

Even if Michigan changes to a "Right to Work" for less state. Even if workers are making $10 an hour greedy corporations will still leave to pay a dollar an hour slave wage.

Whoa, Kidcat. $10.00 an hour? After Romney dumps the minimum wage, anything over $3.00 an hour is going to be high on the hog!
8:43 am on Thursday, March 1, 2012
Romney actually just stated he wants to raise the minimum wage - much to my dissatisfaction.
But you would not know that if you watched the MSM news - because the news is in the bag for Obama and will not report those Dem leaning statements coming from the GOP.
Clay S. Conrad
11:36 am on Thursday, March 1, 2012
Romney has been on both sides of every issue, Really. Whatever he says is usually the opposite of what he will do... Should Romney get elected, he'll be pandering to the far-right and will try to eliminate the minimum wage.

Romney coasted in on his dad's coat tails. Is he registered to vote here?, More important does he even relate or care about Michigan?
Gingrich is allegedly insane, possibly as mad as King George but he makes more sense than the rest of the GOP presidential wannabes especially that looney Father Coughlin clone Ron Paul. I saw a political bumper sticker that says it all: "My billionaire can beat your billionaire".

Stupid teachers and stupid autoworkers who go through life being fat, lazy and stupid. How,was the money spent on "Operation Hillarity?" Love being in bed with George Soros? All they want is gold-plated pension and health benefits for producing inferior cars and ignorant students. Superior Asian students and superior Asian cars attest to the failed policies of the vulture unions and their corrupt bosses. Facts are facts even for ignorant teachers and autoworkers. But in spite of their mediocrity compared to their Asian counterparts, they want lifetime pensions, well because they are who they are. The UAW and MEA: two leaders in promoting American inferiority and mediocrity!

Clay, do you ever read the newspaper or watch the local news? You talk about crony corruption by the GOP, but fail to acknowledge the corruption of Detroit and Wayne county which is and has been run by the Democrats for 50 years. All we hear is "I had no knowledge that any of that was going on" from the leaders. Corruption does not have a party. The key is to vote all these corrupt thieves out.
Clay S. Conrad
11:49 pm on Friday, March 2, 2012

Apparently the news media lets it slide. I read both detroit papers nearly every day and don't ever remember seing daily articles about the scamming and thievery that seems to be the norm in Wayne county, Detroit and the DPS. BTW the only one that could make Coleman look like a saint is the devil himself. I am not partisan when it comes to corruption and financial crimes! I personally think the punnishment should not be prison but to make the crooks poor and put them out on the street! Kwame living large after what he did to Detroit makes me ill.

Romney wants to expand the millitary, they suck more money than Medicare, welfare, social security put together. Not that those aforementioned swollen to the point of exploding bureaucracies don't need a stomach bypass. Say goodbye to economic mobility and financial freedom for the middle class. In other words goodbye middle class. You are the new ..............class you used to warn your kids about.
Chuck Anesi

Um, no. Medicare, Medicaid, and social security are 43% of all federal expenditures. DOD is 19%. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U.S._Federal_Spending_-_FY_2011.png
4:29 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
Now tell the real percentage spent on DOD because Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid are from the trust fund not federal funds.
4:30 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
Since I can't reply below Chuck comments they have to go here. DOD 36% current military, 18% past military from federal funds.
Ed Lambert
4:50 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
For the "Did You Know?" section: Since January, there have been over a million new applicants for Social Security Disability. One spokesperson stated that about a third of those applicants will qualify.
I don't think we make a big leap in suggesting that the uptick has to do with the employment picture combined with the lack of determination on the part of not a few to actually get out there and look for work.
The SSA is notorious for adding generously to its rolls. I know from first-hand experience that SSA client servers actively look for ways to help out applicants, poking into this and that sub-head of SSA regulations to see how generous the Administration can be.
This is indicative of there being a culture within the SSA that makes it see itself not as a conservator of funds but a generous donor. That perspective is part of a philosophy of government that sees that same government as the parent or guardian of the people, the benevolent Big Daddy. The SSA acquired this perspective because two political parties, when in control, encouraged this. There is no wonder why the system is broken and broke.
Chuck Anesi
6:11 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2012
The "Social Security Trust Fund" is nothing. As the OMB says, "These [Trust Fund] balances are available to finance future benefit payments and other Trust Fund expenditures – but only in a bookkeeping sense.... They do not consist of real economic assets that can be drawn down in the future to fund benefits. Instead, they are claims on the Treasury that, when redeemed, will have to be financed by raising taxes, borrowing from the public, or reducing benefits or other expenditures. The existence of large Trust Fund balances, therefore, does not, by itself, have any impact on the Government's ability to pay benefits. (from FY 2000 Budget, Analytical Perspectives, p. 337)"
The only real questions are how much money the federal government is spending, and how much it is taking in. As I noted, in terms of outlays, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are more than twice the current DOD outlays. That is all that matters.
Chuck Anesi
12:08 am on Friday, May 25, 2012
You said, and I quote, "Romney wants to expand the millitary, they suck more money than Medicare, welfare, social security put together." This is obviously and undeniably false, as I noted. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U.S._Federal_Spending_-_FY_2011.png
The web site you cite does not support your statement at all. It does however suffer from the delusion that the social security trust fund is something real, other than (as the OMB source I cited notes) just the government's promise to pay itself. Which makes as much sense as your writing yourself and IOU and calling it a "trust fund" for yourself.
To see a breakdown of federal revenues, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U.S._Federal_Receipts_-_FY_2007.png.

True, there's no actual "trust fund." The idea of sequestering Social Security taxes died with Al Gore's "lockbox" after 2000. But what does exist are the promises under law made to all Americans, and the fact that for 77 years Social Security has been a vital part of keeping scores of millions of seniors out of poverty -- because it's the right thing to do. Individual retirement investments and pensions are enough for many, but if you retired in 2008 when stock markets lost half their value then you'd know that many things are beyond the control of even the most fiscally prudent (those lucky enough to not have had serious medical issues or other life events that reduced their retirement savings). Maybe Zach would prefer leaving our retirees on icebergs so they don't continue to be a useless drain on resources better used by younger, more productive citizens.

Comparing current Detroit and Wayne County Democrats to the original democratic party is like comparing shit to shinola. There is a big difference. Yes my racist friend you left our Wayne County I believe. How much is your buddy Engler collecting off the tit of Michigan these days?

Pie charts are delicious if properly baked. With 800 bases (my guess) throughout the world. A billion dollar raptor that pilots hate to fly because of fumes and ecessive G forces. M16s that cannot match a Kalashnakov, or AK in durability and penetration of brick and cinderblock. Humvees that are no better than the old Sherman "Ronsons". Amunition rationed to in country troops in Afghanistan, Sweetheart government contracts for stuff that plain does not work. Cost of caring for closed head injuries, and amputees, and PTD coming back in the thousands, not to mention their families who lost their bread winner. Yeah, tell us its only 19% of the yearly budget, suuuure! In any case ninety percent is money that does not exist. That is why the debt ceiling keeps getting raised a trillion or two every what, month, year, who can even imagine one trillion. I never learned the number of zeros involved myself and I be a Harvard graduite. Just kidding, but look whose driving the bus and the guy who wants to but drives only cadillacs he says.
Herb Helzer
1:19 pm on Friday, May 25, 2012
Ron: 1) 19% is only counting the specific Department of Defense budget; other commenters are adding the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security AND the "off-the-books" special authorizations to fund operations in Iraq and Afghanistan -- the semiannual "vote for this or we'll say you hate the troops" ultimatums that the Bush Adminstration loved to fling at Congressional Democrats. 2) We have far fewer than 800 permanent bases around the world. 3) The F-22 Raptor is a plane in search of a mission: Designed in the Reagan era, initially contracted during Bush 41's watch, first flown while Clinton was in office, deployed under Bush 43, and the last of 187 aircraft set to be delivered this quarter. It's never seen combat and likely never will...but the final per-unit cost (including all that R&D) is closer to $400 million than "a billion." Still costly. 4) Even the original M16s were better than the AK in terms of accuracy and weight; but we've long ago moved on to newer and better, including the M16A4. Complaining about it now after 40 years of successful deployment isn't helping your case. 5) Sweetheart government contracts are always bad, no matter who happens to be President or in Congress. 6) You're right that medical costs for Iraq/Afghan. vets will be a budget burden for decades to come. Ending the wars will put a cap on that; continuing them won't. 7) The debt ceiling debacle belongs solely to the GOP; Boehner, McConnell, Cantor & Romney OWN it.
Ed Lambert
1:39 pm on Friday, May 25, 2012
Helzer, you've got it wrong that the debacle is owned by the GOP. For one thing, there was a Democrat majority in at least one chamber of the Congress for most of the three decades prior to Obama's election. You cannot find an instance on record where the Democrat Party has ever voted for reduced government spending on anything. That runs counter to the nature of liberal socialism and its appetite for expanded government..
That silly stuff authored by Nutter yesterday or Wednesday was exposed for what it was before 1 pm on Thursday. It is only the alternative media that is exposing it, for that same media would be telling us whether any of the MSM outlets were letting the cat out of Obama's bag.
Ronald Wolf
3:02 pm on Friday, May 25, 2012
Herb, your obviously a very inrtelligent gentleman and I hope you will continue to opine despite the know it alls with agendas. I get the feeling you are a staunch democrat. I have no problem with that, the democrats have done more to help the average middle class family and seniors than Reagan and his cheese. Where I differ is since we are in the age of information, the machinations of government are more exposed, Its the system that like a private club serving its own members first and flying with the prevailing wind that is the problem.
I blew the whistle on the M16 in 68 gettin the late Jules Bergman to make a comparisson. You are right the 223 round is more accurate but it is easily deflected. Closely engineered tolerances encourage jamming.
In Iraq the ultra fine desert sand made short work of the M16. The round cannot penetrate cinderblock, this is why the M60 was favored. The "new" Iraq army said no thankyou to the M16. I have no knowledge of the improved A4 version but the light round is the problem. I believe a 243 closer to NATO is superior. I am sure there are other opinions. On the raptor I think the 400million may refer to the time it will be produced in larger numbers. It sure looks impressive does it not? There are many examples of military dead end spending. Pessimistically I believe the facts you see today are the myths of tomorrow. e.g. Wall Street and Bank "protections". Both parties are consumate salespersons and we are their naive subjects.

After the last surgery for Big Boy's broken arm it was placed in a half cast that we could remove after 48 hours and start rehab on the arm.
It looked sick when we unwrapped it, but healthy. Gross but healthy, does that make sense? The incision was healthy but around it in the perfect shape of an oval was a rash. Not bad, but definitely there. He must have been allergic to something applied during surgery, some sort of topical treatment or latex or adhesive.
Anyway. After getting him to move the joint and giving him a shower without having to bag it (yay!!) we re-wrapped the arm in the half cast.
This is where we ran into a small snafu. Neither his dad nor I remembered the order of the dressings. There were three parts:
Protective sleeve/sock thing.
Half cast.
Ace type bandage.
Welp, we figured it out. So we thought.
The next few days we noticed the oval area seemed to be getting more inflamed. So strange. It was itching and red and swollen with blisters that were generally...weepy. Ew.
Finally I called the Dr. and he had us come in so he could look at it. He affirmed that it was a reaction of some kind to a special adhesive spray they use at the end to help seal the incision.
Everything was fine, we just needed to leave it alone. Okey doke.
He then proceeds to redress the arm in the half cast.
And there's where I see that I have, indeed, lost my mind.
We had been wrapping it wrong. We were putting the protective sleeve/sock on around the half cast, thinking the half cast was held in place by the sock. Then we wrapped it all in the Ace bandage.
Apparently...the protective sock goes on by itself and then the half cast. Then the Ace.
Now I can see why that damn allergic reaction was getting worse. The scratchy felt covering on the half cast was agitating the reaction spot.
So, yeah, the poor kid was suffering for like 3 or 4 days because we were wrapping his arm wrong. I mean, granted, the allergic reaction was there to begin with, but we did nothing to help it go away.
If you were to look at his arm now you wouldn't notice the incision, which is very healthy and not noticeable, compared to the major scabbing in the shape of that oval where he had the reaction.
I rock.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - The UNC Greensboro Department of Athletics recently contributed to the Haiti relief efforts, raising money and assembling hygiene kits to help the victims of the earthquake-ravaged nation.
Every UNCG student-athlete, coach and athletic department staff member contributed $1 to the relief effort. In addition, the women's soccer team purchased T-shirts with profits going toward the cause, while the baseball team raised $100 for Pinch Hit for Haiti, an initiative set up by an Elon baseball player.
The money collected - $350 - was used to purchase hand towels, wash cloths, wide-tooth combs, nail clippers, soap, toothbrushes and adhesive bandages. UNCG held a hygiene kit assembly party on Feb. 19, with several Spartan student-athletes coming together to put together the kits, which each included $1 for shipping and $1 for toothpaste.

Coats for Kids gathers tens of thousands of coats each year, helping keep kids all over Maine warm each winter. Toys for Kids goes a long way toward helping The Salvation Army make a happier holiday season for children who might otherwise go without. Your efforts are critical to the success of these campaigns, and we hope we can count on your help.
If your school, business, civic group, or other organization would like to participate, here are some helpful hints: Send us an email and let us know if you would like to do:
If you wish to do a toy collection, contact us right away so that we can connect you with The Salvation Army's collection and distribution team.
We have free color posters that can help you publicize your coat and/or toy drive; just let us know how many you need. Use large, clean boxes for collection (dress them up with the posters, or your own decoration!).
As your collection receptacles fill up, bag the coats and toys separately in clean garbage bags to prepare them for dropoff. Coats & Toys for Kids Day is December 1, 2012, 8:00am-2:00pm. Our statewide live locations are still to be announced.... we'll post them here as soon as they are finalized.
We hope you'll drop off collected coats and toys on Coats & Toys for Kids Day so that you can be part of the fun and festivities. But remember, coats can be dropped off at any Hannaford or Shaw's Supermarkets statewide between November 24 and December 31, 2012. Toys must be dropped off no later than December 15 in order for The Salvation Army to get them to families in time for the holidays.
If you have any other questions about the Coats for Kids campaign or Coats & Toys for Kids Day, please contact us at 1-800-464-1213, or email us.
If you or a family or child you know is in need of a coat or coats, contact The Salvation Army.
Several Maine businesses collaborate annually on Coats for Kids, including: Shaw's; Hannaford Supermarkets; Pratt-Abbott Cleaners; Pepsi; WCSH 6 and WLBZ 2; and The Salvation Army.
Thank you for keeping children in your heart this winter.

Sounds interesting to me.
Looking for an open minded roleplayer for an RP involving sexual themes, dark comedy and romance.
The RP: One of us is a mortal living a mundane life when a supernatural being with god-like powers enters his/her life. The Anomaly chooses to play tricks and have fun with the mortal in hopes of understanding human nature and the world.
Let me know if you're interested!
Contact me!
Sounds cool, if there's still an open slot, let me know.


text: I was thinking of a role play idea dealing with sisters that are sending each other letters to each other. They do not see each other durng the role play unless it is really needed to add something to the story. It would be any time period, but, the current era could be fine. What type of sisters, wealth, and location we can think about that if you really are interested. It would be like sending emails to each other, or, the old way of snail mail. Just send me a nice pm and we can talk.

Broomfield Park |
Broomfield Park is one of the best, if not the best park in the whole of london. There are tennis courts, basket ball courts and football pitches. You can do whatever you want whether it is to have a game of football or just hang around with your mates. |
Ten years ago vandals burned down Broomfield House destroying all the famous art work and the actual building. It used to be a very good museum and when I was little my mum and I used to go down there as it was free of charge and a nice thing to do in your spare time. Now there is just a load of scaffolding there and it looks horrible. Somebody needs to do something about it. |

A preview of the first half of Tuesday's "Frontline"/Hartford Courant report on Newtown shooter Adam Lanza reinforces the notion that this shadowy young man left almost no digital footprint and few personal connections either.
Three former Register reporters now with the Hartford Courant make their national TV bow at 10 Tuesday night in a "Frontline" report on the Newtown slayings, part of a weeklong "After Newtown" series on PBS starting Monday.
Alaine Griffin, Josh Kovner and (to a lesser extent) investigations editor John Ferraro are seen trying to piece together a psychological profile of the Sandy Hook gunman in the "Frontline" two-part episode "Raising Adam Lanza." The second part of the hour is "Newtown Divided," about President Obama's actions regarding gun policy since Sandy Hook, according to a release.
Based on a screening of the first segment, the quest for answers about Adam Lanza will not end here. As is expressed at the start of the program, it's amazing in this age when so many young people text and Facebook details of so much of their lives, that the Newtown shooter's legacy is just mystery and tragedy. And Nancy Lanza wasn't exactly an open book either.
There are some emails and Facebook exchanges by Nancy Lanza but there is no "ah-ha!" moment in this collaboration between the Courant and TV's venerable documentary show "Frontline." There is no solid indication why this Newtown son on the autism spectrum, who feared crowds and chaos, would kill his mother and then use his mother's guns to slaughter innocent children and school employees.
The reporters are shown interviewing an old friend of Nancy Lanza's in New Hampshire, who noted Adam couldn't stand to be touched; a mother of one of Adam's classmates; a Newtown High School tech club teacher who took an interest in Adam Lanza and felt he had "come a long way" before his mother pulled him out of the school; and one of Nancy's restaurant friends from Newtown, who said Nancy was an optimistic person and not just some "gun nut."
It is intriguing television nonetheless, of course, given how little is known about the Lanza family in a state and nation so scarred by the troubled son.
The New Hampshire friend of Nancy's makes one of several interesting points, noting that Nancy shot guns with her father in New Hampshire before ever moving to Newtown, although she made a fatal error to purchase powerful guns here (and show Adam how to shoot them). There is also an indication that husband Peter Lanza was out of the Newtown house as early as 2001. He has not commented to media about the slayings.
Nancy Lanza also kept to herself, and there are no adult mentions of older brother Ryan Lanza either. The mystery continues, although the "Frontline" segments seem to fit in well with these other PBS efforts (as all news outlets continue to work to help avoid rampage killings):
—"PBS Newshour" Monday at 7 p.m. will go to Aurora, Colo., site of the movie theater massacre last summer. Continued...
— Tuesday the same show will explore violent video games and violent behavior.
— The 9 p.m. Tuesday special will be "Guns in America," about gun technology changes since the Colonial era and Americans' love affair with guns.
—Wednesday at 9, "Nova" nad correspondent Miles O'Brien look into the "Mind of a Rampage Killer."
—At 10 p.m. Wednesay, "The Path to Violence" lists law-enforcement strategies implemented since Columbine in 1999.
—Thursday, "PBS Newshour" will have a segment on the increase in gun license applications since Newtown.
— Friday "Newshour" looks at gun violence as a public health issue. The 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Friday PBS shows "Washington Week with Gwen Ifill" and "Need to Know" will also look at related issues.
Richard Graziano, publisher, president and CEO of the Hartford Courant and general manager of Fox CT and WCCT, said Fox CT footage was also being used in the "Frontline" program.

Berry-scented Foam is Nice!

Comments about Gojo� PROVON� FMX Moisturizing Foaming Handwash Refill, 1250ml:
I really like this hand-wash. The main reason I selected this type of hand soap is because it is a foamy wash. This means that the foam sticks to the hand and does not slide off on the floor or drip from the dispenser onto the counter or floor. This soap is not harsh on the hands, and this means a lot since I work with paper all day and tend to have dry hands. I also like the berry scent which is pleasant.

A few citizens of Bell County stopped to lend a helping hand to what may have been a complete stranger early Friday morning. As one man was driving his truck through intersection in front of Hardee's along US 25E, a load of wood fell off his truck. The wood scattered in the road as other cars drove by, but a few concerned citizens stopped to help him out by picking the wood up and putting it back on the truck bed.

Alessandro Traverso Sextet
ALESSANDRO TRAVERSO - keyboard
ALDO MARANGONI - guitar
PAOLO FRANCHINI - bass
ALBERTO TRAVERSO - drums
ELENA ANDREOLI - voice
TAKAHIRO KITTE - sax
When Alessandro Traverso started his band, all of whose members with jazz backgrounds, their first style would be a contamination of standards, with some tasty pop, rock and funky hints.
They could play My Funny Valentine just as if it was ACDCŌĆÖs Back to Black, giving it an astonishing and brand new allure.
And they could add reggae rhythms to Autumn Leaves, making it almost a new track, but without weakening the intensity of its poetical lyrics.
So why not doing the same thing with pop and rock hits, but with the reverse process? Why not playing U2 in Cantaloupe style, or pouring some jazz and blues into Peter GabrielŌĆÖs futuristic rock?
This main idea brought to a project full of potential, based on the conviction that music fuses sensitivity and culture with geographic and temporal experiences, aspects that the band can easily reflect thanks to the different experiences of its members, both musical and professional.
- Alessandro Traverso, keyboard
- Takahiro Kitte - Sax
- Aldo Marangoni - guitar
- Elena Andreoli - voice
- Paolo Franchini - double bass
- Alberto Traverso - drum based in Milan
He studied cello at Milan Conservatory as well as classic piano and jazz privately, taking also part to Franco DŌĆÖAndreaŌĆÖs workshops. He graduated in muscial disciplines at Dams in Bologna.
He won the first prize at national contest ŌĆ£Alternative musicaliŌĆØ with a group called Aton Ra. afterwards, with his first jazz band, he started musical activities in Ponderosa a Tradate (Varese, Italy).
He took part to jam sessions at MilanŌĆÖs Capolinea club, held concerts at Le Scimmie and played in theater with Franco Cerri. Also, he held some music therapy concert-lessons in medical structures. HeŌĆÖs been working as a professional journalist since the ŌĆś80s, he wrote for Indro Montanelli at ŌĆ£Il GiornaleŌĆØ and now he is editor-in-chief at ŌĆ£Classic VoiceŌĆØ a monthly musical magazine. He also wrote a book called ŌĆ£Weather ReportŌĆØ, published by LŌĆÖEpos. Finally, he is enrolled in the technical consultantŌĆÖs register of MilanŌĆÖs Court for plagiarizing cases.
Takahiro Kitte - Saxophonist based in Milan and Brussels
Takahiro was born in 1965 in Japan, he studied violin in his early years, and at 16 started to play saxophone. He led the New Wave Jazz Orchestra based in Osaka and, while in college, started playing around the Kansai area in Japan as a professional musician.
His stay in NY in 1986 enriched his musical experience also thanks to some gigs with Jack DeJonnette. He moved to Europe in the early '90s, and started playing in Milan with various local groups in historical jazz clubs like "Capolinea". He recently spent quite some time away from the music scene, while pursuing his professional carrier as a partner of an international consulting firm. He restarted his music carrier last year with some live gigs both in Japan and Europe, and he's now back in the scene with Alessandro Traverso and his band, with whom he had visualized a collaboration 10 years ago.
He graduated in viola at Milan Conservatory, and right after his musical studies, he started working in ententainment management. He is now manager of many important people of Italian television and theater, such as Piero Chiambretti, Beppe Grillo and Luca Laurenti. Throughout the years Marangoni, who is really fond of jazz and blues, also studied guitar with Gigi Cifarelli.
She studied acting at the MilanŌĆÖs Accademia dei Filodrammatici, where she won a scholarship to LondonŌĆÖs Royal Shakespeare Company. While in London, she also studied at ActorŌĆÖs Studio. Afterwards she studied jazz with private teachers, including Tiziana Ghiglioni and Laura Fedele and then spent one year at MilanŌĆÖs Scuola Civica di Jazz.
She worked in theatres for 10 years, with personalities such as Dario Fo e Franca Rame, Adriana Innocenti, Remo Girone, Carmelo Bene, Mario Monicelli. She now is a television author and advertising speaker.
In the ŌĆś70s and ŌĆś80s Franchini was a professional musician, and teamed, among others, with Teresa De Sio, Eugenio Finardi, Fabio Concato, Milva, Jimmy Owens, Delmar Brown. He became manager and producer at Polygram and then CEO of the Italian branch of Edel Records, where he remained until 2010. He now is CEO and Owner of the musical editions company Edel Music srl, as well as director of FEM, Federation of Musical Editors.
Alberto Traverso - drum based in Milan
He is a director and television art director, famous for inventing the ŌĆ£Italia1!ŌĆØ phenomenon, in which, since more than 10 years, common people make themselves testimonials of the network. Traverso is undoubtedly an eclectic director and an artist of graphics, but his first passion remains music, from jazz to funky to rock indistinctly. He spent some time on tour in Italy with Bernardo Lanzetti, but soon decided he would play music only for passion. He is always surrounded by drums and percussions, at home as well as at work. ŌĆ£Even though I canŌĆÖt play, which would be disturbing for others, seeing drums puts me in a good moodŌĆØ.

Were back to the top ten's and this could be the last of 2000-2010, so let me make it a good one. Kid's films, mainly animations which let's face it are the best. I am a sucker for these films as I grew up with a few of the earlier ones and watched the later ones with my cousins so I didn't seem weird. So many films missed the cut off date, for example A Bug's Life (1998), Tarzan (1999), The Iron Giant (1999) and Toy Story 2 (1999). Good year for kids films, but I am unwilling to change the almighty rules of the top ten. For I have spoken my gibberish! You know the rules but still at the end vote for favourite film from part 1, then in part 2 being released Monday do the same, then after a while I will post the results.

Oscar Fernandes greets unseen Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh and United progressive alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi after taking the oath of Union cabinet minister during a function at the presidential palace in New Delhi on June 17, 2013. India's embattled ruling Congress party geared up June 17 for next year's elections with a cabinet revamp, boosted by a bitter split in the opposition over the elevation of a Hindu hardliner. Four veteran Congress politicians were sworn into the cabinet, as the party readied for a tough battle to try to win a third term in office amid a slew of graft scandals, policy malaise and the slowest economic growth in a decade.

Since 1982, Dr. Tanzi has focused his studies on Alzheimer's disease (AD). He isolated the first familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) gene, known as the amyloid beta-protein (A4) precursor (APP) in 1987, and another in 1995, called presenilin 2. He also collaborated on the isolation of the second FAD gene, presenilin 1.
In 1993, Dr. Tanzi isolated the gene responsible for the neurological disorder known as Wilson's disease, and over the past 25 years, he has collaborated on studies identifying several other neurodegenerative disease genes including those causing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and neurofibromatosis.
Dr. Tanzi's laboratory first discovered that the metals zinc and copper are necessary for the formation of neurotoxic assemblies of the AD-associated peptide, A-beta, the main component of beta-amyloid deposits in brains of AD patients. These studies have led to ongoing clinical trials for treating and preventing AD by targeting A-beta metal interactions. Dr. Tanzi was also involved in the first studies implicating gamma-secretase modulators as therapeutics for AD.
Dr. Tanzi is currently carrying out genome wide association screens to identify novel genes associated with AD and autism spectrum disorders. Candidate disease genes are then characterized at the molecular, cell biological, and biochemical levels to elucidate disease mechanisms.

Alzheimer's Disease-Associated Amyloid beta-Protein
A recent study from the Tanzi Lab and collaborators suggests that A-beta is a hitherto unrecognized antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that may normally function in the innate immune system. This finding stands in stark contrast to current models of A-beta-mediated pathology and has important implications for ongoing and future AD treatment strategies.
We have shown that A-beta is active against at least eight common and clinically relevant microorganisms. This photomicrograph (18,500x) shows bacteria being attacked by A-beta, which is forming beta-amyloid fibrils and attaching to other the bacteria in the picture. The fibrils eventually entrap the bacteria and cause them to lyse.
A low magnification electron micrograph of the same experiment shows the result of A-beta added to bacteria (left side), compared with the right side, with no A-beta.

Visual conferencing app makes conference calls easy on-the-go.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 07, 2013
Speek.com, a platform for easy conference calling, today announced it has launched an iPhone app for free, visual and mobile conference calls.
The Speek iPhone app allows users to choose an easy-to-remember username, instead of fumbling around for a traditional phone number and PIN. Participants talk instantly with one-click calls and no elevator music. Speek also makes it easy to add the contacts already in your phone to the call via text, email or a calendar invitation. Once on the call, users can see who's joined, who's talking, share images from their phone, as well as mute and remove participants.
"Business on-the-go is often hectic and disorganized. Frantically searching for phone numbers and PINs, and then being dumped into a black hole where you don't know who's talking or who's on the call is an ineffective way to conduct business," said co-founder and CEO John Bracken. "We've meticulously designed a mobile experience that removes the friction and annoyances of a traditional conference call, so you can run a productive meeting whether you're on vacation or stuck in traffic. The iPhone app means you can enjoy your conference call, even when you're not at your desk."
The launch comes on the heels of Speek's recent announcement that it secured $1.2 million in funding by several early-stage venture funds. Since its beta launch, Speek has experienced rapid growth reaching tens of thousands of callers in a few short months.
The Speek iPhone app is free and available here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speek/id587362828?ls=1&mt=8
About Speek
Speek is super simple, free and visual conference calling. Use a personal or business link (i.e., speek.com/YourName), instead of a phone number and PIN for conference calls. Nothing to download and no elevator music. See who's joined, who's talking, share files, use call controls and more. Reserve your Speek link at http://www.speek.com.

Highlights from MASH Opening Reception at Project Space
A big thanks to all who came out to the opening reception for the MASH exhibition at Project Space. It was a beautiful, sunny L.A. day and the fixed gear community represented in full to see and celebrate the accomplishments of the MASH team during the 2009 Tour of California.
MASH rider Walton Brush came in first in the fixed-gear only race from Echo Park to Project Space that preceded the event. The short jaunt was a proverbial walk in the park compared to the 750-mile course he journeyed as a barely-legal rider with MASH on the 2009 Tour.
The event also hosted the premiere of a new 12-minute video short of footage and reflections from the MASH team during the 2009 Tour. The crowd grew steadily over the course of the evening, taking time to socialize, revisit the MASH journey through the photographs and displays and enjoy giveaways courtesy of MASH, Incase and Arkitip.
All in all, it was a night of good times filled with a true sense of community. We hope you all enjoyed the event as much as we did. Check out all the photos in this Flickr set.
The MASH installation will be on display at Project Space through June 6.

Art is in the Eye of the Beholder
Gallery hopping in Miami is a trip—dare we say a difficult endeavor when having to venture to all parts of the city while getting stuck in massive amounts of traffic in 85 degree weather. We made it to a few of the more worthwhile galleries to ooh and ahh (and sometimes ogle) the profound (and not so profound) pieces of artwork, contemplating the inspiration and meaning and sometimes questioning the value. 'Art is in the eye of the beholder', right?
The favored, as we're sure many would agree, would be the Beg Borrow and Steal exhibition at the Rubell Family Collection, featuring 260 works by 74 renown artists including Damien Hirst, Richard Prince, Barbara Kruger and many others.
Here are some of our personal favs, including an edible Dunkin' Donuts Old Fashioned donut installation—amazing!

Hi, I lived in Riverside, CA. until '80. We like Tucson but miss being able to drive to the beach on a whim. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
When I lived in the Bronx from 1951 to 1955 I lived very close to Yankee Stadium. Hated the Yankees then since the Dodgers were my team. Now the Giants are my team.
You look like you're old enough to remember the Riverside Raceway. I went there often in the late 50's and early 60's.
