DETROIT -- The Red Wings' third period woes continued Friday night at Joe Louis Arena.
This time it was the Anaheim Ducks taking advantage of Detroit, scoring twice in a span of a minute and two seconds at the start of the final period to hand the Wings their second straight loss, 5-2.
Both goals were due to turnovers by Detroit.
"In the end, the miscues with the puck in the third period cost us," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said.
On Wednesday, Detroit had just one shot on goal in the third period and eventually lost in overtime to the St. Louis Blues.
"It was two turnovers that ended up in our net," Henrik Zetterberg said. "It was tough. I think up to that we played a good game. We battled good the first period and took over the game in the second. We felt good going out for the third but unfortunately, those two quick ones kind of killed the game.
"It's always tough to play catch-up hockey, especially when you've only got 20 minutes and you need two or three goals," Zetterberg added.
Anaheim got a pair of goals from Andrew Cogliano and one each from Matt Beleskey, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan. Viktor Fasth made 26 saves.
The Wings got goals from rookies Joakim Andersson and Tomas Tatar. Jimmy Howard made 32 saves.
The Ducks took advantage of a turnover at center ice to take the lead just 1:02 into the third period. Niklas Kronwall's pass out of his zone hit the skate of Valtteri Filppula and was taken by Cogliano, who then fed a pass to Saku Koivu and the two worked a pretty ice give-and-go with Cogliano finishing things off with a redirect past Howard.
Just 48 seconds later, Ian White turned the puck over near the Wings' bench and it led to a 2-on-1 for Teemu Selanne and Bobby Ryan. Selanne gave Ryan the pass and his second whack at the puck finally beat Howard.
"In this league, if you turn the puck over at the blue line, bad things happen," Howard said.
Cogliano iced things with an empty net goal with 1:49 left to play.
"The turnover on the set breakout, we had the 'D' up ahead with a forward and I don't know why we did that and then near our bench there was on as well," Babcock said. "It was unfortunate because I thought we set ourselves up pretty good in the third period. You're playing a good team obviously we're short staffed, but the guys were playing good and in the end it didn't work out the way we wanted to."
The Wings, who lost to Anaheim for just the second time at Joe Louis Arena in the last 19 meetings, were also missing Pavel Datsyuk, who's day-to-day with a shoulder bruise.
"When they do make mistakes, you have to make sure you capitalize," Cogliano said. "Obviously, they have some top guys out, and without Datsyuk, that's the biggest one ... but for my money, they're the same team."
"In the perfect world, everyone would be healthy and you have the chemistry with the guys you're used to playing with, but that's not the case," Zetterberg said. "But we're not losing the game because of that. I think we're giving up too many easy goals. The two goals in the third period, we should be able to treat the puck better. You can't give those up, they're too skilled when you get the 2-on-1s, 3-on-2s. You see they're really good snipers and the puck's in the net."
After a scoreless first period the teams combined for four goals in a span of four minutes and 36 seconds.
Andersson opened the scoring for the Wings with his first of his career.
Tatar began the play with a pass to the point to Jakub Kindl, who then made a nice feed to Andersson in the faceoff circle. The rookie received the pass on his backhand and quickly transferred to his forehand and fired it top shelf past Fasth.
Just 26 second later, Beleskey beat Howard to tie things up, using a screen from Kronwall to aid in the process. Henrik Zetterberg lost the draw in the Wings' zone and Ryan Getzlaf fed a backhand to Beleskey open in the slot.
Tatar put the Wings back in front after picking up a huge rebound off a shot from the point by Damien Brunner. Tatar skated back to the front of the crease and buried his shot over Fasth's blocker for the power play goal.
The Ducks, who are 4-1-0 thus on their six-game road trip, tied if back up just 1:05 later on a giveaway by Ian White after he broke his stick trying to clear the puck from behind his own net. Beleskey took the puck and fed it to Perry and he scored off his own rebound.

'Prepare for war': tensions rising over Brazil's controversial Belo Monte dam
Tensions are flaring after Brazil's approval of the Belo Monte dam project last month to divert the flow of the Xingu River. The dam, which will be the world's third larges, will flood 500 square miles of rainforest, lead to the removal of at least 12,000 people in the region, and upturn the lives of 45,000 indigenous people who depend on the Xingu. After fighting the construction of the dam for nearly thirty years, indigenous groups are beginning to talk of a last stand.
"I have asked my warriors to prepare for war and I have spoken of this with other tribes from the Upper Xingu. We will not let them [build the Belo Monte Dam]," Chief Raoni Metuktire, of the indigenous Kayapo tribe in Brazil, told the French Channel TF1. He is currently traveling through Europe appealing for support in putting the brakes on the project.
Another group of Kayapo, led by Chief Megaron Txukarramãe, have set up a blockade of a ferry crossing on a major Amazonian highway over the Xingu River in Mato Grosso in protest against the dam. As of last week the blockade was nearing its 30th day.
Chief Megaron recently called Brazil's President Lula "enemy number one" of indigenous people in Brazil, and has said that his people are prepared to "die fighting for our rights."
The Brazilian government argues that the dam, which was originally proposed in the 1970s under a military dictatorship, is necessary for increasing energy demands in the country. The 11 to 17 billion dollar dam will provide energy to 23 million homes, yet during three to four months of the year the dam will only run 10-30 percent capacity due to low waters. Critics argue that for the dam to be at all viable—and economical—other massive dams will need to be built on the Xingu River as well.

Mesenteric artery ischemia occurs when there is a narrowing or blockage of one or more of the three mesenteric arteries, the major arteries that supply the small and large intestines.
Mesenteric vascular disease; Ischemic colitis
Narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the intestine causes mesenteric ischemia. The arteries that supply blood to the intestines run directly from the aorta, the main artery from the heart.
Mesenteric artery ischemia is often seen in people who have hardening of the arteries in other parts of the body (for example, those with coronary artery disease or peripheral vascular disease). The condition is more common in smokers and in patients with high blood pressure or blood cholesterol.
Mesenteric ischemia may also be caused by a blood clot (embolus) that moves through the blood and suddenly blocks one of the mesenteric arteries. The clots usually come from the heart or aorta. These clots are more commonly seen in patients with abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), such as atrial fibrillation.
Symptoms of long-term (chronic) mesenteric artery ischemia caused by hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis):
Symptoms of sudden (acute) mesenteric artery ischemia due to a traveling blood clot:
In acute mesenteric ischemia, blood tests may show a higher than normal white blood cell count and changes in the blood acid level. There may be bleeding in the GI tract.
A Doppler ultrasound or CT scan may show problems with the blood vessels and the intestine.
A mesenteric angiogram is a test that involves injecting a special dye into your bloodstream to highlight the arteries of the intestine. Then x-rays are taken of the area. This can show the location of the blockage in the artery.
Acute mesenteric artery ischemia is an emergency. If a blood clot is causing it, you may need to take medicines to dissolve the clot (thrombolytics) and widen the mesenteric arteries (vasodilators). Surgery may be needed to treat mesenteric ischemia. In some cases, the surgeon must also create a bypass around the blockage.
Surgery for chronic mesenteric artery ischemia involves removing the blockage and reconnecting the arteries to the aorta. A bypass around the blockage is another procedure. It is usually done with a plastic tube graft.
An alternative to surgery is a stent. It may be inserted to enlarge the blockage in the mesenteric artery or deliver medicine directly to the affected area. This is a new technique and it should only be done by experienced health care providers. The outcome is usually better with surgery.
In the case of chronic mesenteric ischemia, the outlook after a successful surgery is good. However, if appropriate lifestyle changes (such as a healthy diet and exercise) are not made, any problems with hardening of the arteries will generally get worse over time.
Persons with acute mesenteric ischemia usually do poorly, since death of the intestine often occurs before surgery is done. However, when diagnosed and treated right away, patients with acute mesenteric ischemia can be treated successfully.
Tissue death from lack of blood flow (infarction) in the intestines is the most serious complication of mesenteric artery ischemia. Surgery may be needed to remove the dead portion.
Call your health care provider if you have:
The following lifestyle changes can reduce your risk for narrowing of the arteries:
To prevent acute mesenteric artery ischemia, also control any heart rhythm problems that may cause the blood to clot.

text: So, officially this is the first music video from nu-metal/hard rock band Love & Death, but if you look closely you will notice the guy singing is none other than Brian Welch, aka "Head" from the band Korn. Welch not to long ago announced that he would be putting his "solo" career on hold to perform with his band as Love & Death, and their first single is "Chemicals". Love the video, and the song tells me Welch might work better within a band rather than on his own. Enjoy

LCD for Less
You hear a lot of buzz lately about how inexpensive digital TVs have become. Prices for big-screen rear-projection TVs (RPTVs) have leveled off to the point where even high-definition models cost about what analog RPTVs cost before TV started to go digital. And the flat-panel plasma models that you thought you had to be a gazillionaire to afford can now be picked up for under three grand at the local Costco. But the biggest bang for your video buck right now has to be LCD (liquid-crystal display) front projectors. For less than $2,000, you can get a projector that will beam crisp, bright, 8-foot (diagonal) images onto the wall of your home theater. With a picture that large, you might be tempted to charge your friends and neighbors admission (remember to serve popcorn), because you'll effectively be in competition with the local multiplex.
To get a grip on this low-cost, big-screen phenomenon, we selected three LCD projectors ranging in price from $1,800 to $3,000. Besides their reasonable prices, what they have in common is 16:9 LCD panels that produce pictures in the same widescreen format used by anamorphic DVDs and HDTV. They've also been engineered from the ground up for good-looking video - something that distinguishes them from typical LCD projectors, most of which are designed to be hooked up to a computer for business presentations. But that's not to say you can't connect these guys to your PC or Mac: with computer inputs like VGA jacks and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) connections, they can easily serve as big-screen monitors for Web-surfing and other multimedia pursuits. Two of them even let you plug in a memory card from a digital camera and project "slide" shows of JPEG images. Now, is that cool, or what!
While you can beam pictures directly onto a wall in your home, front projectors definitely perform best paired with a dedicated projection screen. For this test, I used a 92-inch (diagonal), 16:9 GrayHawk from Stewart Filmscreen. This $1,300 screen was designed for use with LCD and DLP (Digital Light Processing) projectors, both of which produce images that can look washed-out and low-contrast when shown on a standard screen meant for cathode-ray-tube (CRT) projectors. Each projector was installed on a low table approximately 11 feet from the screen. PDF: Features Checklist
Panasonic PT-AE200U
Panasonic's LCD line made the crossover into home theater a few years back, and the PT-AE200U ($1,800) is among the newest additions to the company's projector stable. The compact, silver-cased unit can be mounted either on a table or the ceiling (with the optional $365 mount). Either way, it's unlikely that you'll be bothered by the internal fan because it's practically inaudible at the low setting, the one Panasonic recommends for watching movies in a dark room.
The PT-AE200U's 1.2x zoom lens allowed me to set it up between 9 and 11 1/4 feet from my screen. The pixel count of its three LCD panels (red, green, and blue) is 858 x 484 - a good match for widescreen movies on DVD, but not high enough to display HDTV programs at full resolution. Even so, the Panasonic can accept HDTV programs in both the 720p (progressive-scan) and 1080i (interlaced) formats in addition to standard 480i and 480p signals.
Video inputs include wideband component- as well as composite- and S-video jacks. There's also a VGA-style RGB connector that you can use to hook up either a computer or an HDTV tuner. Another input worth noting is a slot on the projector's side that accepts SD (Secure Digital) flash-memory cards. When you plug one of these in, the projector's SD menu lets you create slide shows of JPEG images taken on a digital camera, and you can also watch the MPEG-4 movies that some digital camcorders can record directly to a memory card.
The Panasonic's remote control is small, but it has a fully backlit keypad, and the buttons are clearly labeled. A row of buttons located on the top half let you directly access any of the projector's video inputs. Additional controls let you toggle through the three user picture presets and the seven factory presets, any or all of which you can also customize and have the projector remember your changes. Pressing the Aspect button toggles through the display modes. In addition to 16:9 and plain 4:3, these include Zoom, for letterboxed 4:3 programs, and Just, which leaves the center intact, stretching only the edges of 4:3 images to fill the screen. There's also a button for freezing an image onscreen.
Setting up the Panasonic proved to be quick and painless. After connecting a progressive-scan DVD player, I manually tweaked the lens's zoom and focus rings and then used the vertical keystone adjustment (easily accessible from the remote control) to finish the job. There was no option to adjust the horizontal or vertical position of video sources - not a serious limitation.
The Panasonic has a five-step color-temperature setting, but there are no additional white-balance adjustments for tweaking the color-temperature presets. After I chose the lowest setting, colors looked vivid: the green Astroturf in The Rookie seemed very realistic (for something fake, anyway), and there was a wide range in the actors' skin tones. The image also had a punchy, bright quality, with deep, almost CRT-like blacks.
Although DVDs played on a progressive-scan player generally looked great displayed by the PT-AE200U, I didn't get very good results feeding it interlaced programs from a standard player or cable-TV box. When I used the Panasonic's composite- and S-video inputs, the image looked soft, and the lack of 2:3 pulldown processing resulted in stairstep artifacts in some movie scenes with diagonal lines.
The soft-looking image also tended to accentuate the screen-door effect - a gridlike image texture that's common to lower-resolution LCD front projectors like this Panasonic model. It was fairly noticeable here. At one point, the projection lamp shut down after a few hours of continuous use. It took only a few minutes for the PT-AE200U to cool off and light up again, but I imagine most folks would find such a forced intermission irritating.
For an inexpensive projector, Panasonic's PT-AE200U delivers very good video quality with only a few minor compromises. Paired with the right screen, it will provide a bright image with deep, satisfying blacks. And if you're a shutterbug, the slot for plugging in SD flash-memory cards directly from a digital camera is like icing on the cake.

We found this fossilised tooth today on the banks of a reservoir in Suffolk. Can anyone help identify it please? It looks like a molar, and as thouhgh it belonged to a herbivore...
I think it's a woolly rhinoceros tooth although it could be off a modern animal like a cow.
If it is really hollow it is modern, but if it's quite heavy it's a fossil.
Hi Maddy
I have a couple of similar teeth from a peat deposit on the Holderness coast that I am told came from a Horse.
They are black in colour and very heavy for there size.
Nice find! well done.

I'm giving some consideration to riding the 1K miles out to Sedalia and registering and completing a Saddlesore in the process. I would be leaving the Greater Rochester area in Western NY. I ride an 07' K1200GT and the longest fuel stop only ride i have done is 8 hours and I stil had fuel in the tank.
Anyone nearby having similar thoughts? I typically ride alone, but this is the kind of trip where riding solo is not the safest way to go. Temperatures may lead to more slab riding just top stay cool, but I'm still looking at routes. Any interest and or feedback would be welcome.

Happy Tears — Out director Mitchell Lichtenstein directs Parker Posey and Demi Moore in this story of sisters who return home to care for their ailing father (Rip Torn) and confront not-so-pleasant memories of their childhood. Lichtenstein's last film was about a woman born with teeth in her vagina (let that one settle for a second), so it's clear that, as a gay man, he has a lot to say. He says the story was born out of his observation that gays and lesbians often become caregivers for ailing parents because they're the ones without children to care for. What quirky life lesson will he bring to the table here? With Moore and Posey in the leads, anything is possible.
The Good Guy — A straight romantic comedy set among the world of stockbrokers, The Good Guy positions itself as Sex and the City meets Wall Street for the 20-something set (ladies talking sex over cocktails and lamenting that all the good ones are gay). With Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel in the lead, reviews suggest it's really more like a poor attempt at remaking Wall Street for lovelorn women who like money. If gays as the punch line and the best friend are your thing, check it out.
The Ghost Writer — Whatever your feelings about Roman Polanski as a person, as a director, he's in a league all his own. Here he tries his hand at an ode to film noir with the story of a ghostwriter (Ewan McGregor) who goes to work on the memoirs of a British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan) and stumbles upon a slew of political secrets best kept buried. Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City's Samantha) pops up as Brosnan's mistress (the icy blond present in all Hitchcockian thrillers), and reviews for the film are particularly strong.
Shutter Island — Martin Scorsese is back with this psychological thriller–horror flick about detectives (Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo) investigating the disappearance of an inmate of a mental asylum. Gay favorites Michelle Williams and Patricia Clarkson pop up in supporting roles, and while this hasn't exactly been scoring raves, it's a Scorsese pic, which means reviews are stronger than for most films this time of year.
New Amerykah, Part II by Erykah Badu — This fierce talent, who can sing about love or money with equal power and fury, is back with the second half of her New Amerykah opus. Badu told Billboard.com that this album is lighter and more fun than the first album, which was rightfully lauded by critics. Expect top-notch production thanks to collaborators like ?uestlove, Lil' Wayne, and Andre 3000, the father of Badu's son, Seven.
Have One on Me by Joanna Newsom — She may be better known for dating SNL's Andy Samberg, but Newsom is a talent in her own right. The willowy harpist's Have One on Me is a three-disc project with more than two hours of music.
"Rocket" by Goldfrapp —The new single by the electronica duo of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory is a return to the upbeat sounds of Supernature and Black Cherry, though certainly more '80s and more pop than those two amazing albums. Prepare to have your blood boiled with "Rocket," the first single from Head First, the English group's next album. "Rocket" is out March 9 (so no preview is available yet), Head First two weeks later. Here's a snippet of "Head First," the album's eponymous single. Welcome back, Alison and Will!
The Informant! — Matt Damon in the role that really should have scored him an Oscar nomination is the informant, a corporate America VP who may or may not have info that could take down his company. Director Steven Soderbergh's spoof on corporate life presents a true acting challenge to Damon, who rises to the occasion. He's nominated for Invictus, but his truly stellar work of the year was here.
Coco Before Chanel — Coco Chanel (rumored to be antigay but, according to the director of this biopic, Anne Fontaine, anything but) came from obscure beginnings before rising to the top of France's fashion world around the start of World War I. Amelie's Audrey Tautou plays the fashion icon in this French flick with English subtitles.
The September Issue – The September Issue may position itself as a documentary about Vogue editor Anna Wintour and a behind-the-scenes look at creating the 2007 fall fashion issue, but creative director Grace Coddington is the one who comes out smelling like roses here. She steals the film right out from under the "devil" in Prada and instantly wins over viewers. In fairness, near the film's end, Wintour (in a rare moment of praise) calls Coddington a genius. The film also shows Andre Leon Talley doing a whole lot of nothing. A must-see for fashion nuts, but also genuinely entertaining as a film.

Princeton ranks among top schools for African Americans
Black Enterprise magazine has named Princeton as one of the country's top colleges for African-American students.
Princeton was ranked No. 38 among the top 50 institutions for African-American students. The magazine evaluated more than 1,400 institutions for its rankings.
The rankings were determined through a survey of more than 500 African-American higher education professionals, who were asked to assess the social and academic environments at the nation's colleges and universities. Factors in the rankings also included graduation rate of African-American students, undergraduate enrollment of African-American students and their percentage of the total undergraduate population.
Black Enterprise noted that 9.4 percent of Princeton freshmen in fall 2005 were African Americans, which represented a 38 percent increase from the previous year and was the highest percentage among Ivy League institutions.
The rankings appear in the September issue of Black Enterprise. More information can be found on the Black Enterprise Web site (registration required).

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Origins Available: Italian, Portuguese
Venice, one of the oldest and most beautiful island regions of Italy, is the esteemed birthplace of numerous prominent families, including the family that bears the surname Ferrari. Although people were originally known only by a single name, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they are characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. Although the most common type of family name found in Venice is the patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's givenname, names derived from occupations are also found. Occupational surnames, which are less common than other types of surnames in Italy, date back to the feudal era. However, under the Feudal System, occupational names did not become hereditary until the offices themselves became hereditary. It was only after an occupation was inherited by several generations in lineal descent that occupational names came to be applied to entire families, and so became a hereditary surname. The surname Ferrari comes from the Latin word ferro which means iron. The family likely were blacksmiths.

Ferrari Spelling Variations
Ferrari Spelling Variations
Enormous variation in spelling and form characterizes those Italian names that originated in the medieval era. This is caused by two main factors: regional tradition, and inaccuracies in the recording process. Before the last few hundred years, scribes spelled names according to their sounds. Spelling variations were the unsurprising result. The variations of Ferrari include Ferraro, Ferrari, Ferrario, Ferraris, Ferrai, Ferrero, Ferrarese, Ferreri, Ferrèri, Ferreli, Ferriero, Ferrieri, Ferrerio, Fevrero, Fevriero, Ferrer, Fer, Ferr, Fare, De Ferrari, Deferrari, Defferrari, De Ferraris, Ferrarello, Ferraretto, Ferrarini, Ferrarin, Ferrarotti, Ferrarone, Ferraron and many more.

The Russellville West Whirlwinds ninth-grade boys' basketball team advanced to the championship game of the Central Arkansas Junior High Conference tournament with a 48-41 win over Russellville East in semifinal action Saturday.
With the win, the West will take on Conway Blue in the finals Monday.

A.J. Broadnax led Russellville West with 21 points. Terrell Carter scored 19, and Kenneth Golden had six.
Macy Thompson scored 19 points to lead the East. Nelson Darnell added nine points, and Hunter Hawkins had five.
Friday's games
The Russellville East Whirlwinds ninth-grade basketball team advanced to the tournament semifinals with a 39-34 win over Conway White on Friday.
The Wampus Kittens made a solid comeback attempt in the second half, but that was not enough. The Whirlwinds led 16-10 at halftime and held a 26-21 advantage after three quarters of play.
Conway White outscored Russellville East 14-13 in the second half. However, the Whirlwinds ended the first quarter with a 12-5 lead, and that enabled the East to hold off the comeback attempt.

The Lady Whirlwinds were held scoreless in the first quarter and trailed 34-5 at halftime. The East made things a little closer in the third as it trailed 38-10 heading into the fourth, but that was too much to overcome.
Laura Brown led the Lady Whirlwinds with six points and four rebounds.

New numbers from the federal government reveal a tiny glimmer of hope that lenders are doing a better job of helping homeowners avoid foreclosure, even though help is slow in coming. The same numbers also show some homeowners are slipping back into trouble after getting mortgage assistance.
The numbers are from the Mortgage Metrics report collected by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency which tracks about two-thirds of the country's home mortgages.
What they show is a sharp jump in the first half of 2009 in the number of homeowners who are getting help from lenders modifying their mortgages. The increase in the second quarter of '09 alone is more than 185,000, up 55 percent from past levels.
Many of these homeowners are delinquent, they have fallen behind on their mortgage payments. They've worked out new terms with their lender that might help them avoid foreclosure.
Joseph Evers, the OCC's deputy comptroller for large bank supervision said the number of people who received mortgage modifications, or "mods," in the past but who have fallen behind again, or redefaulted, is also increasing.
"That doesn't speak well for foreclosure prevention," Evers said. "But the good news there is banks are responding by doing more mods and they're responding by doing more affordable and sustainable mods by reducing monthly payments."
In other words, some mortgage help in the past hasn't really addressed the issue of homeowners facing foreclosure not being able to afford their monthly mortgage payments. Loan modifications with their lender still haven't brought the payment down to an affordable level.
"...the good news is banks are responding by doing more [loan] mods."Joseph Evers, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
Another problem is the pace of mortgage modifications is very slow. One reason is banks don't have enough staff and haven't adjusted their computer systems to handle all the requests, according to Barry Zigas, director of housing policy for the Consumer Federation of America.
"Many consumers tell these horror stories of spending hours on the phone on hold, finally getting ahold of someone, being told to send these materials in, sending them in, following them up, and finding the materials never got there, have been misplaced, are incomplete and have to start the process all over again," he said.
That is the experience of homeowner Danyel Mattson, who lives in the Twin Cities suburb of Savage. Mattson said she and her husband paid the $470 fee to their bank to start the refinancing process.
After three months of waiting, they checked the status and learned they'd been turned down. She said she couldn't get back in touch with anyone to learn why or what they should do.
Mattson said they finally reached someone who said they could pay another fee and start over.
"We re-submitted and we had to pay [a] $50 resubmission fee," she said. "They waived another $470 fee they said that we would possibly have to pay again."
Mattson said their refinancing appears to be back on track, and they may emerge with a new mortgage.
The Consumer Federation of America's Barry Zigas worries the key issue behind all the problems is this country's approach to helping homeowners. Zigas said the various programs out there - the banking industry's Hope Now program, the Obama administration's Making Home Affordable plan - don't match reality.
"It has expectations of ability to pay that cannot be met," Zigas said. "[It] focuses on reducing the interest rate of the loan but not the principle, which still leaves people paying perhaps on a loan that is substantially larger than the home is now worth and is substantially larger than they were ever able to pay."
Dire as the picture may appear, Joseph Evers from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency counsels patience.
The inner workings of the Obama administration's $75 billion Making Homes Affordable plan are still being worked out.
The country's biggest lenders, resuscitated with massive amounts of taxpayer supplied bailout money, are slowly but apparently surely, Evers said, getting up to speed.
"It's way too early to conclude that these mod programs aren't working," he said.

Illness keeps Posey out of Giants' lineup
By Chris Haft / MLB.com
PHILADELPHIA -- Giants catcher Buster Posey was scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies with an upset stomach.
"It came on pretty fast," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who wasn't certain before the game whether Posey would be available to pinch-hit.
Posey appeared in 100 of San Francisco's first 104 games, starting 94. His 0-for-18 skid during a six-game hitless streak, the longest of his career, has dropped the reigning National League Most Valuable Player's batting average to .308.
Posey was replaced behind the plate by Guillermo Quiroz and in the cleanup spot by right fielder Hunter Pence.
Giants seek spark from Pill, Kieschnick
PHILADELPHIA -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy expressed hopes that first baseman Brett Pill and outfielder Roger Kieschnick can bolster the team's sagging offense.
Pill and Kieschnick joined the team Tuesday after their recall from Triple-A Fresno. Bochy immediately installed Pill in the lineup, batting sixth and playing first base. Kieschnick, a left-handed hitter, did not start against Philadelphia left-hander John Lannan. But Bochy said that he would play left field Wednesday against right-hander Kyle Kendrick.
Pill and Kieschnick join an offense that, by any measure, is dormant. In its past eight games, San Francisco has scored 15 runs, batted .185 (12-for-65) with runners in scoring position in that span and hit zero home runs.
"If you look at our offense, it's sputtering," Bochy said. "Pill's been the best hitter down in Fresno all year. We need some help offensively and hopefully they'll provide that."
Potentially, both Pill and Kieschnick can give the Giants power they have lacked. Having spent most of the past four years in Triple-A, Pill ranked fourth in the Pacific Coast League with 18 home runs this season. Kieschnick had 13 homers.
Beginning his third stint of the season with the Giants, Pill also ranked second in the PCL in slugging (.630), third in RBIs (79) and fourth in batting average (.344). Knowing that he was a fixture in Fresno's lineup enabled him to "keep the same consistency," he said.
Kieschnick hit .273 in 101 games with Fresno, which included a .316 surge over 23 games in July. That followed a .181 performance in June, which was "pretty much the worst career month I ever had," he said. That spoiled the .313 average he owned when the month began.
Giants wish former teammate Wilson well
PHILADELPHIA -- Brian Wilson's ex-teammates welcomed Tuesday's news that the former Giants closer signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Aware of Wilson's tireless, furious work ethic, those who knew him best felt certain that the right-hander would recover from his second Tommy John elbow surgery to prompt some sort of offer. Wilson threw for teams last Friday in Los Angeles.
Giants right-hander Matt Cain said that he sent Wilson a congratulatory text message that included a request.
"I hope he'll hang me a slider if I get to hit off him," Cain said.
Cain harbored only minor doubts regarding Wilson's comeback.
"Knowing what he does to get ready for a season and just the way that he is -- so obsessed with his body and making sure it's functioning right -- I knew that he was going to do everything he could to get healthy," Cain said.
"I'm glad it worked out for him to get a chance to get to the Major Leagues again," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He was probably going against some odds, to be honest."
Said right-hander Tim Lincecum, "I'm definitely curious to see what he's featuring." Asked whether he meant what he's throwing or how his beard is growing, Lincecum replied, "All of the above."
Lincecum added, "He's probably one of the hardest workers I've seen, so I know that'll be a reflection of what you see out there."
Nobody begrudged Wilson signing with another club -- which happened to be San Francisco's archrival. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Wilson did not receive an offer from the Giants.
Cain acknowledged that fans probably will have mixed emotions about Wilson's decision. But Cain also pointed out that Wilson spent 10 years (2003-12) with the organization.
"He's done so much for the Giants," Cain said. "The fans have grown to love him, and you really do. He's such a neat character on and off the field."
Phillies utility man Kevin Frandsen, who rose to the Majors with Wilson through the Giants' farm system, cited the enormous Los Angeles market in which the Dodgers perform, the success they're having this year and the fact that Wilson resides there.
"How could you look away from that?" Frandsen said. "He's a great guy. That's first and foremost. Everybody knows one thing about him: He wants to compete, and he wants to compete at the highest level."

More book awards: Check out the Bram Stoker nominees
Here's an even more eclectic list than the Los Angeles Times Book Prize nominees: The graphic novel contenders for the Horror Writers Association's Bram Stoker Award:
Anya's Ghost, by Vera Brosgol (First Second)
Locke & Key, Volume 4, by Joe Hill (artist: Gabriel Rodriguez) (IDW)
Green River Killer, by Jeff Jensen (artist: Jonathan Case) (Dark Horse)
Marvel Universe vs. Wolverine, by Jonathan Maberry (penciler: Laurence Campbell) (Marvel)
Baltimore: The Plague Ships, by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden (artist: Ben Stenbeck; colorist: Dave Stewart) (Dark Horse)
Neonomicon, by Alan Moore (artist: Jacen Burrows) (Avatar Press)
I added in the artists because apparently the Stoker folks were only thinking about writers. I'm impressed with how broad the selection of books is, given that they all qualify as "horror" to someone: Anya's Ghost, while genuinely scary, is a teenage ghost story, Green River Killer is true crime, Marvel Universe vs. Wolverine is a superhero story, admittedly with something that sounds a lot like a zombie twist. The other three are closer to what I think of when I think of "horror," but they are all still quite different from one another.

On Monday, Scotiabank Giller Prize founder Jack Rabinovitch announced the jury for the 2012 award, Canada's most prominent literary prize. Gary Shteyngart, Roddy Doyle, and Anna Porter comprise this year's holy triumvirate who will bestow a Canadian author $50 000, and inevitably a window display at Chapters/Indigo and a bestseller. It should have been a moment to celebrate Mr. Rabinovitch's continued support of the literary arts, and yet for the second time in less than a month cultural protectionists, insulating elitists of Canadian literature raised their ill-mannered voices in defiance in the pages of The Globe and Mail. For to them, CanLit is a precious entity, one that should never be left to the masses, and should be devoid of the trappings of humour or success.
John Barber of The Globe and Mail took the opportunity to issue a snide commentary on the state of Canadian literature. To Barber, it's important that when discussing CanLit literature that we employ methods of rash generalization by speaking of "populist authors" and juries that "in the past have tended to represent the higher end of the literary spectrum." The gist of this condescending bit was that smart people favour "Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro," while the dimmer bulbs who are still able to slobber their way through a text enjoy books that are funny, intelligent, and rarely discussed at grad student colloquia.
Barber further suggests that the jury's choices will differ from years past, that the "inclusion of two popular, largely comic novelists is bound to change the established character of the program," referring to the celebration of Canadian literature rich in nature motifs, the plight of first generation Canadians, and revisiting war in a discussion of family while tapping maples for syrup. God forbid a literary prize celebrate a piece of writing that may occasionally illicit laughter or sales. Furthermore, it's insulting to Doyle and Shteyngart, suggesting that neither writer has the literary fortitude of an Atwood to see through their guffaws to champion writing unlike their own. Shteyngart quickly responded on Twitter noting that he will be "also giving out Canada Council grants to Jewish writers living within 5 kilometers of The Main."

Just Awful
Mine was professionally installed in a brand new vehicle with all alpine Type R speakers. I'm 54 and listen to classical music so it wasn't pushed hard at all. First one lasted 2 weeks, second one lasted 6 months. The dealer (who sells a lot of Alpine) told me he's had nothing but problems with this model and offered to replace it with a better product at no additional charge so he wouldn't have to keep spending the time disassembling my car. Alpine replaces the old units with remanufactured units, of which there is no shortage because they never work for long. I can't believe Alpine actually puts its name on this thing. Crutchfield's standards are apparently higher as they've dropped it.

If we pass on the O with both top picks I am going to start to believe that Woody is stacking the deck for Bridgewater. Woody tells Idzik "get me Bridgewater" and Idzik tells him that he is not available. Woody channels George Steinbrenner and screams "I don't care, just get him here!"
Seriously though, if we don't the O some help we will get outscored by some teams Specials and D next year.
As far as Floyd is concerned, we can not take Floyd. I repeat. We can not draft Floyd. We have too many gapping holes on this team to draft a position where we at least have someone to give us hope at that spot. Like him or not, Ellis can at least hold the fort at nose until we fill out the rest of our roster. We desperately need help at OLB, S and OG. I would even put TE and RB as a bigger need for us than NG.
We can not draft Floyd.

BERLIN — Edison "Ed" G. Updike, a resident of Heritage Harbor the past three years and Berlin for 27 years previously, died July 21 at University of Md. Shock Trauma Hospital due to complications from a fall.
He was born on Sept. 28, 1925 in Washington DC to the late Shirley and Blanche Updike.
Mr. Updike graduated from Eastern High School in 1943, attending summer school so he could receive his diploma early and enlist in the Navy at the age of 17. He was the flag master on the USS Hawkbill from 1943 to 1946. He was more than proud of serving his country, always ready to share personal stories, books, pictures and letters from his WWII experiences.
Mr. Updike was a career linesman cable splicer for C& P Telephone company retiring in 1984. In his last years, he was dedicated to taking care of his wife and fostering his friendships of the last 50-70 years longevity.
Ed lived life to the fullest as evidenced by his many active memberships such as the Telephone Pioneers, US Submarine Veterans of WWII, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Ocean City Shrine Club, and Pittman Masonic Club. He also continued to meet with the Boosters Club of Eastern High School for 70 years up until the month before his death.
His hobbies included vegetable gardening, being on the water and fishing. Last but not least he was a loyal and avid Redskins fan.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Ruth Updike; his son, Wayne Updike of Arnold; his sister, Elanor Miller of California; his grandchildren, Dawn Norris of Vermont and Brittany, Adam and Natalie Updike, all of the Washington DC area; and his great grandchildren, Dawson and Preston Norris of Vermont.

My name is Steve Goode and I just wanted the opportunity to share some things with you.
I am not a journalist, I am a grocer. I own the Cash Saver.
I have been reluctant to speak out before now, but I feel that you have been bombarded with misinformation, and I would just like the opportunity to set the record straight.
You have been told that the new Neighborhood Market is something that is needed for the town of Russellville, that it is progress and that it will create jobs and increase sales tax revenue.
In truth, there is $1.4 million worth of grocery dollars spent per week in Russellville, and adding another grocery store is not going to change that number. Russellville is well served by grocery stores — Cash Saver, Harps, Kroger and the Walmart Supercenter.
Russellville doesn't need the Neighborhood Market. It will not in fact, create any "new" jobs, or bring in any "additional" sales tax revenue. What the Neighborhood Market will do will only cut the pie into much smaller pieces, hurting the independent grocer like Cash Saver.
This battle is actually not a battle between Walmart and Cash Saver, but between two very large national chains, Walmart and Kroger, who will always want to invade each other's' space. Cash Saver is just collateral damage.
Jobs taken away is not progress. In 2010, I opened a store that had been closed for two years, that was progress. More than 50 jobs were created, that was progress. We changed to a cost plus, low price strategy that brought substantial savings to grocery shoppers, that was progress. Where was Walmart when my building and the one currently housing Atwoods were closed for years?
You have been given the misinformation by our city leaders, and planning/zoning leaders that Cash Saver is owned by Sky Line Joint Ventures. In fact, Cash Saver is owned by Goode Foods LLC, and leases the building from Sky Line Joint Ventures. Goode Foods LLC. is me, Steve Goode, and my employees.
I employ 53 people at Cash Saver. People who are your friends, your family, your neighbors. People who need their jobs. Cash Saver has served Russellville since 2010, and this is the only store I own. It is how I provide for my own family.
I am very much in favor of free enterprise and would love to see our city leaders recruit and bring substantial new businesses to Russellville — those that would create new jobs, not take away existing jobs and/or businesses away from our town. I am for free enterprise, but Walmart already owns approximately 50 percent of the market share in Russellville, and if you think that Walmart controlling more than that 50 percent is good for the people of Russellville, you are mistaken.
Russellville does not need a Neighborhood Market. Goodness knows that Walmart does not need Russellville. Let me assure you that Cash Saver wants and needs to be in Russellville to survive as an Arkansas-owned small business.
When I parted ways with my ex-partners in 2012, I chose this town and this store to make my own. Now, I am asking you, those of you who shop with me, those of you who have your own families to raise, those of you who own your own small businesses, those of you who were misinformed, all of you, please vote against ordinance 2142.
Thank you,
Steve Goode

Walmart, community progress, location
I have read many of the arguments on both sides of the rezoning for a new Walmart in a residential area. The problem appears to me, our city leaders and others are confusing two different issues.
Many have pointed out a new Walmart will bring new jobs, increase tax revenues and make our city more business friendly. I think most people would support all of those items, although increases at the Walmart would be offset somewhat at other stores.
The total number of increased jobs and tax revenues probably wouldn't change as much as has been advertised. The problem is not whether people want a new Walmart, but it is the location.
I don't oppose a new Walmart. There seems to be other areas more appropriate where zoning wouldn't be a problem. Examples could be West Parkway, north of Interstate 40, etc.
If Walmart or any other business wanted to build in a location and needed maybe an extra 50 or 100 feet rezoned, I don't think most people would mind. I would call that an adjustment to the system and sometimes is necessary. Rezoning a large area that involves acres in a residential area is not an adjustment; it is changing the whole purpose of that area.
Rezoning an area that large just doesn't seem right for a couple of reasons — one, it could hurt property values in the area; and two, what about in the future when others want to rezone for a business, how can the city turn that down?
If this is voted for and the city allows this rezoning, if someone else wants to rezone for a business and it will create even one job, I can't see how city leadership could turn that down and think it was OK. And, it might even open the door to future lawsuits for the city denying a rezoning.
That doesn't look like progress to me. I say build the new Walmart, but not where it requires a large rezoning.
Larry McCollum
Just vote
By now, you have heard all the issues presented such as restraint of trade or jobs, school tax and additional grocery competition. It's now time to go and vote. No democratic process functions without the voters.
I hope you will make the effort to vote. A "FOR" vote supports your City Council's decision to rezone for the new Walmart Neighborhood Market. The vote against sends the new store to another community: no quality business chooses a second-best location.
You can vote early, weekdays through Aug. 12, and the final day is Aug. 13.
All voting is at the former National Home Center building on East Main. It is time to vote!
Jerry P. Peirce
Walmart and the neighborhood
A Letter-to-the-Editor in this very space previously claimed the proposed Walmart Market would somehow disturb the character of a nearby neighborhood and do more harm than good. I wholeheartedly disagree and want to take this opportunity to communicate the facts.
First, only a small portion of the approximately nine acres is currently zoned residential. Second, the location is along a state highway and the business itself would be situated more than 500 feet from the nearest home. And Walmart will plant 150 new trees. Those seem like obvious wins to me — and there's more.
The opening of a Walmart Neighborhood Market would create 65-85 new jobs, in addition to offering competitive pricing on groceries, generating tax dollars and setting the stage for further economic development.
I encourage you to vote for Russellville City PUD Ordinance 2142 through Election Day on Aug. 13.
Bert Mullens
More Walmart and the neighborhood
Most of the people I know don't want to live near a Walmart store.
If you don't want to live near a Walmart store, don't force the people who live in the vicinity of South Vancouver Avenue to live near one.
A vote against the Walmart rezoning ordinance won't be the end of the world.
Walmart has a Plan B.
We can have "Community Progress," but at a different location.

Tyringham feels power of wireless broadband technology
TYRINGHAM -- Since mid-December, Tyringham has been living in the 21st century.
That's when broadband access reached the small hilltown community through a joint project between the town and WiSpring.
Now, through wireless broadband technology, school kids, police, town officials and Netflix watchers can benefit -- as long as they have hooked up their home or business.
According to town officials, perhaps the biggest impact has been on families with school-age kids.
Before the arrival of broadband, they would have to travel to Lee to find broadband access for homework and school-related research.
Today, Tyringham's former schoolhouse serves as a community center, and it has been hooked up to the wireless broadband network.
Now it is common to see townsfolk of all ages at the schoolhouse cruising the Web, doing business online or doing their homework.
"The biggest change is in the facial expressions on the parents of school kids," said Holly Ketron, a member of the town's broadband committee, "because [the kids] can do their homework now."
Some modest short-term economic benefits are anticipated as well.
"I think it's going to have a big effect on people trying to rent or sell a house this summer," Ketron said. "Before, not many wanted to come here without Internet service."
"We couldn't sell property because people that work from home couldn't move here," agreed Molly Curtain-Schaefer, Tyringham town administrator.
So far, she added, about 40 out of roughly 150 homes have connected to the wireless network.
The topography of the town, basically a long valley, was perfect for the wireless project because the individual antennae have to be within line-of-sight of the broadcast towers, Curtain-Schaefer said. Towns with tall trees and lots of hills might be more difficult to equip with wireless access.
"It's amazing," Ketron said. "When I think back to what it was like last year, this seems like a miracle."

Declining volume numbers in November (10%), December (17%), and January (13.5%) "may be somewhat overinflated as many mines and manufacturing plants have temporarily shuttered operations over this period," Seidl said. "Although we are far from calling a turning point, we have started to hear about some of these operations coming back on line. The question we ask is, where is the true underlying demand? Although we would be loath to answer this question (we note that even the railroads themselves are steering clear of trying to provide an answer), we view these operations coming back on line as a glimmer of hope in an otherwise weak rail environment."
Seidl noted that Class I overall volumes "continue to remain extremely depressed on severe demand destruction and extended production curtailments, both mine and plants." However, service metrics have been strong. "Overall performance was solid as train speed, cars on line, and dwell time improved 11.0%, 2.3% and 2.8%, respectively" over the past two weeks.

Detroit tabs Texas closer Knebel at No. 39
DETROIT -- Corey Knebel wasn't on the Draft radar out of high school. In fact, he wasn't even on the radar for the University of Texas until a scholarship opened up three summers ago, just days before he was heading to junior college.
Less than a year later, he was the latest and greatest in the long line of Longhorn closers, following in the tradition of Huston Street and matching the Texas single-season saves record. Then this summer, he was simply trying to stay on the field.
DETROIT -- Corey Knebel wasn't on the Draft radar out of high school. In fact, he wasn't even on the radar for the University of Texas until a scholarship opened up three summers ago, just days before he was heading to junior college.
Less than a year later, he was the latest and greatest in the long line of Longhorn closers, following in the tradition of Huston Street and matching the Texas single-season saves record. Then this summer, he was simply trying to stay on the field.
The biggest surprise of all, though, came Thursday night when the Tigers called. With that, Knebel became a first-round pick.
"It was a huge surprise, actually," Knebel said in a phone interview late Thursday evening. "I didn't think I was going in the first round, so I just kind of waited around the phone and hung out with my family and I got a call."
Technically, the Tigers selected Knebel with a supplemental pick, the first traded Draft slot in Major League history. Detroit acquired the 39th overall pick from the Marlins as a throw-in to the Anibal Sanchez trade last July, taking advantage of the new rules for competitive-balance picks.
It supplemented the Tigers' own first-round pick, the 20th overall selection. But for a Detroit squad that hadn't selected on the first day since 2010, it was a huge bonus.
The Tigers used the pick on one of the most accomplished closers in his school's history, bringing Knebel into an organization that has its share of bullpen concerns at the big league level. For now, however, Knebel's future might not be in relief.
"They've seen me pitching a lot," Knebel said. "They saw me two weeks ago, and I think they've been thinking about me as a starter."
Knebel has had that in mind since the Longhorns' season ended, working out with University of Texas pitching coach Skip Johnson on stretching out his arm, increasing his stamina and mixing his pitches.
Whatever the role, Knebel fits the power-pitching profile the Tigers have sought in the Draft for years.
Knebel is a 6-foot-4 righty boasting a power fastball that sits in the mid-90s and tops out around 98 mph. He complements it with two different breaking balls, a 12-to-6 curveball in the low 80s and a slurve.
He also has dusted off a changeup he threw as a starter but put away in relief.
"I'll definitely have four pitches," Knebel said.
His three pitches were nasty enough in his old role. Knebel went 3-4 with a 3.38 ERA and nine saves this season, striking out 51 batters over 40 innings while allowing just 25 hits. Opponents batted just .179 against him. Add in 28 saves over his first two seasons, and Knebel sits just four saves shy of Street's school career record.
Nineteen of those saves came as a freshman, when Knebel became one of college baseball's Cinderella stories.
"In all honesty, what happened with me I was a starter in high school, and I came to UT by surprise," Knebel said. "I thought I was just going to be a reliever. I never knew what a closer was until I became a closer. I knew of Huston Street. I knew he was a really good pitcher here. I ended up being told I was going to be the closer after a few games of coming in at the end of games."
With instruction from his pitching coach, he gained about 10 mph on his fastball. He came and threw, dealt with the butterflies and and fed off the adrenaline.
When Knebel briefly became a starter near the end of his sophomore season, it was a transition.
"I do feed off all the adrenaline as a closer. That's really what got me going," he said. "When I became a starter, it was a lot different for me. It was hard to handle at the beginning in college, and I was more relaxed, surprisingly. It was a lot different feeling, but it was good."
Knebel was back to closing this spring, but missed games cost him, as he was suspended twice from the Longhorn squad this season. He missed a series against Kansas for a violation of team rules.
Knebel was also suspended for a series against Kansas State for providing a urine sample for a teammate's test, as first reported by the Austin American-Statesman.
The suspensions shouldn't reflect on Knebel's makeup. He was an academic All-Big 12 selection who had no previous disciplinary history. He's just a few semesters shy of his degree.
When he came to Texas, Knebel thought he'd be leaning on his education for a career when he was done. Now, he's getting his chance at pro ball.
"I've never been this excited before," he said. "This is what I want to do with my life. This is my dream, and I'm not going to stop until I pursue my dream."

The Motor
Neurone Disease (MND) Association and the Medical
Research Council (MRC), along with researchers from
the University of Oxford,
have joined forces to conduct the Oxford
Study for Biomarkers in
MND/ALS (BioMOx). This resulted in the identification of a common
signature of nerve damage in patients who have MND.
Martin Turner and his team from the University of Oxford have
discovered a "unique similarity" between nerve damage found
in the region of the brain which connects the motor neurones to the
brain, and nerve damage found in the corpus callosum, which is a
region of the brain that acts as a connection between the right and
left sides.
now, patients with MND have had to wait too long for a
diagnosis of MND because MND research was hindered by the
lack of predictable markers, or biomarkers, of the progression of the
disease. Researchers also lacked an early diagnostic test. With the
use of an MND biomarker, MND patients can be diagnosed more quickly
and accurately, which is the main goal of the BioMOx study.
BioMOx study is one of the largest biomarker studies for MND in the
world," said Dr. Brian Dickie, director of research development
at the MND Association. "It's very encouraging to hear the first
exciting results emerging from this four-year initiative."
this particular study, researchers scanned healthy
brains as well as brains that contained MND damage using an
advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. Every six
months, researchers for the BioMOx study followed changes in the
brain, in blood and in spinal cord fluid of people with MND. By
scanning and comparing specific areas of the brain, Turner and his
team were able to find a pattern of nerve damage within MND patients,
which has led to the discovery of a MND biomarker.
finding of a common pattern of nerve pathway damage in a varied group
of MND patients holds the promise of a much needed biomarker,"
said Turner. "This study confirms the ability of advanced MRI
techniques to sensitively detect nerve damage in a wide
range of people living with MND. It builds on a decade of
international work, and shows that MRI is now a frontrunner in the
quest to generate biomarkers of disease activity in MND."
hope to use what they've discovered in the BioMOx study to develop
improved treatments for patients with MND.
scanning provides an exciting 'window on the brain,'
allowing researchers to link the changes occurring in the central
nervous system with the 'real world' symptoms of MND," said
Dickie. "Understanding these changing events is going to be
central to the development of future treatments."

The low projections are a result of a number of things, but were heavily affected by a continuous decrease in county sales tax revenues over the last few years, coupled with a population change in the 2010 census that resulted in Pottsville and Russellville acquiring a larger percentage of sales tax revenues — funds that were previously sent to the county.
"We lost about 3.3 precent (of sales tax revenues) after the 2010 census, and the economy's off by about 3 percent," Pope County Judge Jim Ed Gibson said. "That's where the deficit's at."
Gibson suggested that the court add into the budget the total $1.2 million from the county's surplus fund to cover the projected $584,600.53 deficit.
"Up until about three years ago we used surplus investment and we should do it now," he said. "We may or may not need it. Maybe the economy picks up in February, March or sometime next year and maybe sales tax revenue's going to be high, but right now we're saying we've only got X number of dollars and that's not a true picture. You've got $1.2 million sitting over here and you just need to put it in your anticipated income for next year."
Justice Gordon Thornsberry opposed budgeting the surplus funds, saying the bigger problem at hand is whether or not the county is spending more than it's collecting.
"That doesn't solve the problem," he said. "We're still spending more money than we're taking in and there will be a day of accounting at some point of time in the future if the economy doesn't improve as we hope it will, and the immediate problem is to get revenues and expenditures very close to being equal."
To date, sales tax revenues in the county are 2.79 percent lower than last year, and last year was about a percent lower than in 2010, according to Treasurer Donna Wall.
To date, the county's departments had already cut $349,607.35 before the budget meeting Thursday.
The committee voted unanimously to send budgets back to departments that could cut to revise their propositions for the 2013 fiscal year.

RIM Co-CEOs step down, take lower positions on board
Date: Monday, January 23rd, 2012, 06:08
Category: News, wireless
Sometimes you just need to make a chance.
In a surprise step, RIM confirmed late Sunday that its two CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis would resign from their top positions. Per the Wall Street Journal, the two would stay on as board members and shareholders for the BlackBerry designer, but would hand over direct leadership to one person, current COO Thorsten Heins. Board member Barbara Stymiest would be promoted to an independent board chairman.
There would be "continuity" from the earlier strategy, Heins said, but it was "not going to be a standstill" that preserves the existing order. He was confident that BlackBerry 10 would lure customers and developers to RIM, but hinted that licensing the OS on a "case-by-case basis" might be an option if the software is successful.
A new board member, Fairfax Financial Holdings CEO Prem Watsa, was coming in to further shake up the board.
Balsillie and Lazaridis cast their partial exits as voluntary, but also in the wake of an imminent panel decision that suggested the board changes. Balsillie claimed that the jump would have good timing now that BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 and the first BlackBerry 10 phone were both on schedule.
While portrayed as voluntary, the shift would come after what many consider RIM's worst relative year of performance on record. The company bled market share for the core BlackBerry smartphone line virtually every quarter, and its belief that the BlackBerry PlayBook would take on Apple quickly fizzled as it had to ship fewer and fewer tablets and cut the price of the PlayBook by as much as 60 percent just clear stock. The company repeatedly gave overly optimistic guidance for most of 2011 and was regularly confident in imminent turnarounds that didn't materialize.
The co-CEO structure was widely criticized, both for being very unusual in the industry but also for a self-reinforcing structure that made it harder to challenge their opinions.
