FDIC sued over financial services company seizure
For the third time since August, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has been sued in federal court over allegations that the agency mishandled its role as receiver of an ailing financial institution.

For the third time since August, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has been sued in federal court over allegations that the agency mishandled its role as receiver of an ailing financial institution. In a complaint filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, BHC Interim Funding II L.P. and BHC Interim Funding III L.P., which together filed the suits as BHC, argue that the FDIC improperly seized control of a financial services company that BHC had loaned money to and that because of the allegedly improper seizure, BHC lost out on more than $15 million in assets. According to the complaint, in 2008 BHC extended two secured loans to Affinity Financial Corp., each of which was guaranteed by Waterfield Financial Services and secured by the assets of both Affinity and WFS. Those assets primarily included contract rights that gave WFS the authority to act as an agent for a pool of customer deposit accounts with various commercial banks. These agreements generated "substantial" monthly fees for WFS, the complaint says. In March 2010, at the direction of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, WFS was forced to turn over its contract rights to those deposit accounts to Waterfield Bank, an affiliated entity that had allegedly become undercapitalized. The complaint says that as the lender, BHC did not consent to that arrangement. On March 5, three days after the OTS and the FDIC directed WFS to turn over the assets to Waterfield, the OTS seized control of Waterfield and named the FDIC its receiver. Shortly after being named receiver, the complaint says, the FDIC cancelled the pooled deposit accounts, which had been collecting fees used to pay BHC back for the loans it had extended, and then returned those deposits to individual customers. BHC contends in its complaint that the assignment of WFS' assets to Waterfield was not valid because BHC never consented to the agreement, the decision was made without consideration for how WFS would be able to repay its debt and because the arrangement violated BHC's loan agreements. The complaint asks that the judge presiding over the case order the FDIC to repay the $15 million BHC had loaned to Affinity and that BHC be awarded other compensatory damages. BHC is being represented by Blank Rome partner Paul Honigberg. No lawyers have entered an appearance on behalf of the FDIC. In August, Philadelphia-based Pepper Hamilton sued the FDIC, alleging that it had tried to improperly downgrade legal fees the firm charged to a Utah bank before the bank was placed in an FDIC receivership. Pepper Hamilton is being represented by Matthew Foster, a Washington-based associate at that firm. Also in August, JPMorgan Chase & Co. filed suit against the FDIC, alleging that the agency, which is acting as receiver for now-defunct AmTrust Bank, improperly denied JPMorgan's effort to recoup losses it suffered when AmTrust went under. JPMorgan is being represented by Joel Cohen, a New York-based partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell. Jeff Jeffrey can be contacted at [email protected].

Gez rushes in where Angels fear to tread
David Richardson - 10th April 2012
Woking 2 Tonbridge Angels 1
Blue Square Bet South
With the possibility of winning the league today, if Dartford were to lose, it was vital Woking didn't relax after their magnificent win at Basingstoke on Good Friday. Although the Cards found themselves behind to a Frannie Collin goal in the fortieth minute, they responded immediately with a Moses Ademola equaliser and then "goal machine" Giuseppe Sole (pictured) grabbed a magnificent winner seven minutes from time to equal Bob Reeves (1945/6) and Jackie Kyle's (1907/8) record of scoring in eight consecutive games. It was no surprise that he told me after the game that it was, "probably one of the most important goals I've ever scored."
Garry Hill made three changes from the team that beat Basingstoke three days ago. Kevin Betsy served the first of his two game suspension and was replaced by Dale Binns. Paris Cowan-Hall came in for Elvis Hammond to partner Giuseppe Sole upfront, whilst Adam Newton returned to captain the team in place of Glenn Wilson at right back. After missing out on Friday due to illness, Jack King started on the bench. Tonbridge were only able to name two substitutes on the bench but they had the ever-dangerous Frannie Collin in their ranks as well as ex-Card Nathan Koranteng.
As the rain fell over Kingfield, Tonbridge got the game underway. It was evident in the opening minutes that the surface was quick and that players were struggling to keep their footing, which meant for a high tempo and exciting game. Almost immediately, Collin tried to weave a way through the Woking defence, which gave his team a corner that was headed wide by Ollie Schulz - a face familiar to Woking after his headed goal for Dover in the play-off game at Kingfield.
Up the other end, Alan Inns only just managed to get on the end of Sole's corner but his effort went wide. Moments later in the eleventh minute, Cowan-Hall crossed for Sole at the back post to head past Worgan and equal Reeves's and Kyle's record. However, it was quickly ruled out by referee John O'Brien, who judged that Sole had pushed his marker in the back to gain the advantage in winning the header.
The Cards nearly fell behind, when Suarez then gave Aaron Howe an early scare after heading Collin's free-kick against the crossbar and out for a goal kick.
It was then the Cards who came close to open the scoring when Howe's kick from his hands skipped up off the greasy surface for Cowan-Hall to run onto but his attempted lob went over the bar. Woking came even closer to getting the opening goal when Sole was then brought down around thirty yards from the Angels' goal. Taking the free-kick, his powerful swerving shot was tipped onto the post by Worgan and somehow Cowan-Hall couldn't get a decent connection with his effort from the rebound. Cowan-Hall then had another great chance when he was played in on goal by Davis with an inch-perfect pass, after the midfielder won possession just inside the Tonbridge half, but Ben Judge managed to tackle Cowan-Hall before he could get his shot away.
In the thirty-ninth minute, Woking again spurned another opportunity to take the lead. McNerney found himself in unfamiliar territory in the Tonbridge area, after Sole had delightfully chipped a ball over the Angels' defence to him, but he fired well over.
These missed chances were to prove costly, because immediately Tonbridge went up the other end and scored the game's opening goal. Hill got the better of Woking left back Derek Duncan and played the ball into Collin, whose effort was brilliantly blocked by Inns. The ball then fell to Hill who fired a fierce shot at goal, which struck the post and rebounded to Collin again, who shot high into the roof of the Woking net. The Cards could have felt hard done by to be a goal down after the chances they had created and missed.
Woking were now facing a real test of character to get back in the game but the goal, thankfully, didn't seem to faze them as they struck bac'k straightaway. Dale Binns picked the ball up just inside the Angels half, beat two Tonbridge players, surged down to the by-line and cut the ball back across to Ademola, who joyously slammed the ball home from three yards to score his fourteenth goal of the season.
Half-Time: Woking 1 Tonbridge Angels 1
With Dartford leading Bromley 0-2, Woking knew they couldn't afford to lose, which was worrying as Tonbridge started brightly with Collin and Schulz forcing Howe into making saves. Sole was then fouled twice in quick succession by Angels' captain Lee Browning and Schulz, which resulted in both of them being cautioned. Sole fired two yards over from the resulting free-kick from Schulz's foul.
Woking gradually started to build momentum as Murtagh played through Cowan-Hall, who again missed the target, shooting half a yard wide of the Tonbridge goal. Binns shot over from a corner before disaster struck for Tonbridge. Browning, already on a yellow card, lunged in high on Ademola from behind and was promptly shown a straight red by O'Brien. This prompted a substitution from Tonbridge and, moments later, Woking did likewise with Elvis Hammond replacing Cowan-Hall and soon after King replaced the tiring Binns.
Hammond was then brought down twice and both free-kicks from Duncan narrowly missed the target. Just when it looked like it wasn't to be Woking's day, up popped that Sole man again, with a quite fantastic goal. Gathering the ball on the half-way line, Sole pushed the ball past the last Angels' defender and raced on and with coolness personified, kept his head and slotted the ball past Worgan into the bottom right-hand corner of the net. The whole of Kingfield erupted and Sole was rightly engulfed by his jubilant teammates. It was a goal worthy of winning any game.
With the LGS in full voice, Woking stormed forward again. Ademola battled hard on the left before picking out Hammond, whose effort was blocked. Murtagh was then brought down on the edge of the Angels' penalty area and Sole's resulting free-kick went wide.
The four minutes of injury time seemed to last forever but finally the referee blew his whistle and the three vital points were Woking's. This was, particularly given the importance of the game, a brilliant and valuable win for the Cards, especially with Dartford beating Bromley today to keep up the pressure.
So with three games to go, Woking need three points to secure promotion. It has been an exciting season for Woking fans with many highlights to look back on. The 5-0 away win at Sutton on the opening day of the season, the two wins over promotion rivals Dartford, the two wins over local rivals Farnborough and Joe McNerney's last-minute winner at home to Bromley. The list goes on. However, the key component to Woking's success has been the appointment of Garry Hill and Steve Thompson, who have built and managed the team superbly throughout the past season and a half. Long may their reign of success continue at the Club.

The Test season hasn't gone according to expectations : Babar Azam
CricketKarachiSports News
By Sports Halchal Last updated Jan 7, 2023
Karachi : Pakistan captain Babar Azam admitted that his team's home season hasn't panned out as per the expectations of people in the country. Pakistan's share of Test matches in their home season ended without a single win, with the latest being a thrilling drawn second Test against New Zealand at Karachi on Friday.
The result meant Pakistan's two-match series against New Zealand at home ended in a 0-0 affair, after suffering a 3-0 thrashing in home conditions at the hands of England in December 2022.
"The Test season hasn't gone according to expectations. It's not an excuse but some of our players were unfit which disturbed our combination. Of course there's talk about the pitches, but conditions are different at every venue."
"We give our input on pitches, but you get the pitches you get, and after that you have to execute your plans. You can't just complain about losing a match because of pitches. We prepared them according to our plans, but results didn't go our way," said Azam in the post-match press conference.
Azam was quick in acknowledging the role of veteran wicketkeeper-batter Sarfaraz Ahmed, who made a counter-attacking 118 in the fourth innings on the final day of the match, and of last batting pair in Abrar Ahmed and Naseem Shah for seeing off 21 balls before bad light forced a draw.
"It's difficult to play the new ball when the fielders are up but Naseem and Abrar held their nerve at the death. The way Saifi (Sarfaraz) came back and got us out of a hole was amazing, because his partnership with (Saud) Shakeel brought us back into the match.
He's come back after four years and had a dream comeback, after waiting all those years. It was his belief that kept him going." Azam signed off by saying Pakistan are trying to learn from the mistakes committed in the winless home Test season, and emphasised a lot on fitness being of prime importance in a hectic cricketing schedule.
"We're trying to learn from our mistakes. Everyone has their own opinions but we have to focus on our performance. Forming a team takes time. Our Test side was very good, but suddenly there were a few injuries, which disturbed our players and altered the form of our side."
"We've tried to do our best but it just hasn't worked out. We'll look at whether to have Test specialist players in future. There's so much cricket if you want to play all three formats you'll have to be ultra-fit."

Some people are born with a rare condition named alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency (called "AAT deficiency" for short). Having AAT deficiency causes a high risk of getting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Most people with AAT deficiency will get COPD if they smoke. People with AAT can also develop COPD even if they have never smoked at all.
The liver makes a protein called "AAT" that travels through the body in the bloodstream. The AAT protein's job is to protect organs – especially the lungs – from damage.
People with AAT deficiency are born with livers that produce AAT proteins that are not the right shape to enter the bloodstream and travel to the lungs. This means that their lungs do not have the protection that they need.
AAT deficiency is a "genetic" or "inherited" condition. This means that it is passed down through families from parents to children in a certain gene. To have AAT deficiency, a person has to get that gene from both of their parents.
People with AAT deficiency have a very high risk of lung diseases like emphysema. Most people with COPD have emphysema.
AAT deficiency causes this risk because the person's body does not have enough AAT proteins to protect the lungs. Without this protection, irritants like cigarette smoke can damage the lungs very badly.
People with AAT deficiency who smoke often get emphysema at a young age – sometimes as early as their thirties. Smoking also causes them to have more severe emphysema symptoms than people without AAT deficiency.
AAT deficiency can also cause people who have never smoked to develop emphysema earlier than average – between the ages of 40 and 60 years old. Many non-smokers are not diagnosed with AAT deficiency until they develop emphysema at an unusually young age. But some people with AAT deficiency never get emphysema, especially if they do not smoke.
Because AAT deficiency is something that a person is born with, it cannot be prevented. It also does not have a cure yet. However, there are ways for people with AAT deficiency to reduce their risk of getting emphysema.
The most important step is not to smoke, or for smokers to quit. Almost all smokers with AAT deficiency will get emphysema.
Some people with AAT deficiency might also be treated with something called "augmentation therapy." In this kind of treatment, AAT proteins are delivered directly into the patient's bloodstream to help protect the lungs from more damage. Patients who receive this kind of therapy have IV blood transfusions once a week.
AAT deficiency is a rare condition that probably affects around 100,000 Americans. Around 2 to 3% of people with emphysema in the United States have AAT deficiency that caused the disease.
Scientists are not sure exactly how many people have AAT deficiency around they world, because many people who have it never know that they do. They think that more than a million people around the world carry the gene that can cause AAT deficiency.
There are probably some genetic conditions other than AAT deficiency that can make certain people more likely to get COPD. This is because some people without AAT deficiency also develop COPD even though they have never been exposed to irritants like cigarette smoke or pollution.
Also, scientists do not understand why some smokers are more likely to get COPD than others. Researchers are working to discover whether there are other genetic links that cause people to have a higher risk of COPD.

Why Simulation Games Are A Reflection Of Our Reality
The concept of player-centric design embodies this idea of placing the player at the forefront of the design and development process of the game. Personally, I enjoy playing video games that pay huge attention to detail. A game can be considered player-centric when the designer begins to take into consideration the player's feelings and emotions. In other words, a player-centric game design is a state where the game designers acknowledge the importance of players even before the game is produced and put out on the market. The player's at the center of the game is what shapes the foundation of the gaming experience which is super important.
A good example of a game that embodies a player-centric game design is 'Overcooked 2.' One of my favourite simulated games. The game is a cooperative cooking game that emphasizes the importance of teamwork and having good communication skills to run an effective kitchen franchise. If you love cooking in real life, this game is for you! Overcooked 2 does a good job of putting not one player but also multiple players at the forefront of the game because all players have something different to bring to the table with their different skills. In Overcooked, there is much more focus on the skills and abilities for players to make a strategic decision that will perhaps contribute to how each level of the game ends which is what I love the most.
Personally, I love how Overcooked 2's gameplay establishes a mutual connection with players to work together and actually see themselves as work partners making strategic decisions. Games that have a human element to them are what really attract me to playing games either online or on a console. Plays.org does such a good job at classifying various video games into my favourites categories like simulation, cooperative and strategy-driven games.

ReKey Xpress started serving the Houston area from it's Woodlands office a few years ago. Of course we also served our neighbors in and around the Woodlands first. ReKey Xpress Locksmith is growing for the same reasons that have made The Woodlands a successful development. Excellence and value are something we have in common with The Woodlands community. It is our desire to provide value with excellent 5-Star service every day as we rekey and replace locks here in our area. Our customers have the choice of using their existing locks and having them rekeyed or have ReKey Xpress install all new lock hardware. It's up to our customers to decide. ReKey Xpress Locksmith The Woodlands Locksmith Professionals. Your Job On-Time, Fair Priced and Guaranteed!
If you are pleased with your home's current lock situation but concerned about extra copies of the key floating around or you need the locks changed in an emergency, you have a simpler option: rekeying. When you rekey a lock, you change the lock so that it can be operated by another key. This is done by removing the existing bottom pins in the plug and replacing them with a different size combination. The technician then reassembles the lock. After the lock has been rekeyed, the new key will operate the lock and the old key is invalidated. Over half of new homeowners don't change or rekey their locks and we fail to understand why. Re-Keying is a simple, quick, and affordable process. Here is a short video I made to explain how our basic rekey package is performed.

\section{Introduction}

We will present our approach on a real-world example of a concurrent environment -- combinational circuit \Cref{fig:example-circuit}. It is a circuit constructed from integer and bit-manipulating operations with no clock, so all units execute, regardless of whether or not they ought to.

\begin{figure}[h]
    \begin{center}
    \input{img/circuit}
    \end{center}
    \caption{An example of an artificial arithmetic circuit containing two grayed components with equivalent concurrent executions that may be part of a larger circuit}
    \label{fig:example-circuit}
\end{figure}

The challenge of unoptimized combinational circuits is that they perform huge amounts of repeated work in their components. Nonetheless, our setup permits us to examine the problem of circuit optimization through a new lens: all of this repeated work can be thought of as happening in parallel. This visibility over every possible computation exposes optimization opportunities to discover the optimal sharing of sub-computations within circuit execution. An alternative way of thinking about our work is that typical sequential \textsc{cpu} circuits contain one or more hand-crafted execution units, such as arithmetic and logical units (\textsc{alu}s), and our optimization process invents shared \textsc{alu}s by observing and merging redundant computations. Our technique might also be applied to a broader set of problems, such as optimization of shared computation in threaded programs.

In general, our problem consists of multiple concurrent computations in an acyclic data-flow graph that share an identical subcomputation. In this case, we may want to optimize these computations by identifying where the computations overlap and replacing these areas with a single computation (see an example in \Cref{fig:example-replacement}).

\begin{figure}[h]
    \centering
    \input{img/optimization}
    \caption{The common sub-computation \texttt{comp} replaces the three concurrent components \textsf{A}, \textsf{B}, and \textsf{C}.}
    \label{fig:example-replacement}
\end{figure}

The solution we propose is to extend \emph{e-graphs} \cite{nelson-egraph, nieu-egraphs} with a special bond node, so called \emph{b-node}. The \emph{b-node} serves to tie together multiple concurrent expressions. Consequently, we can unify a \emph{b-node} with our desired expression to form a single equality class and utilize a generic equality saturation algorithm. When extracting an optimal solution from the final equality graph, we can treat bond nodes as generic nodes (\emph{i.e.}, we can pick either a \emph{b-node} and all its children or any other node in the same equality class). Finally, we replace all bond nodes with adequate data-flow edges and obtain a valid circuit. We describe this process more formally in the next section.

\section{E-Graph Extension}

To be able to perform the optimization in \Cref{fig:example-replacement}, we need to allow the \emph{e-graph} to capture the information of related disjoint expressions. For this purpose, we extend the \emph{e-graphs} with bonding \emph{b-nodes}, which allow relating multiple nodes.

Informally, an extended \emph{e-graph} consists of \emph{e-classes}, as in the general case. The difference is that, in an extended \emph{e-graph}, we allow an \emph{e-class} to contain a mixed set of \emph{e-nodes} and \emph{b-nodes} at once.
As in the original definition \cite{egg}, \emph{e-nodes} represent terms of a modeled language, and \emph{b-nodes} represent semantically bonded nodes. The \emph{b-node} allows one to replace all bonded nodes at once because one can treat all bonded nodes as a single node. More formally, \emph{e-nodes} and \emph{b-nodes} are defined as follows:
\begin{itemize}
    \item An \emph{e-node} is a function symbol paired with a list of children \emph{e-classes}.
    \item A \emph{b-node} is a unique symbol that also keeps a \emph{bond-map}, a mapping between its parent and children \emph{e-classes}.
\end{itemize}

\noindent
Two \emph{b-nodes} are considered equal when their \emph{bond-maps} are identical.

This representation allows us to capture in an \emph{e-graph} that some \emph{e-classes} are related (\emph{e.g.}, in our case, they perform the same computation concurrently).

Imagine that we have three \emph{e-classes} denoted as $p_i$, each with two children $c_{ij}$. To relate these \emph{e-classes} via a bond, we store the \emph{bond-map}
$
    [p_1 \rightarrow \{c_{11}, c_{12}\},\, p_3 \rightarrow \{c_{21}, c_{22}\},\, p_2 \rightarrow \{c_{31}, c_{32}\},]
$
The corresponding \emph{e-graph} with bonded nodes is depicted in \Cref{fig:bond-example}.

\begin{figure}[h]
    \centering
    \input{img/bonding}
    \caption{Nodes $a$ and $b$ on the left are bonded by the \emph{b-node} on the right, denoted by the center black node}
    \label{fig:bond-example}
\end{figure}

We store the \emph{bond-map} so that the \emph{b-node} can be removed after the equality saturation process finishes. It might happen that a \emph{b-node} is an optimal representation of an \emph{e-class}. However, we do not want to preserve \emph{b-nodes} in the final solution. Therefore, we utilize their \emph{bond-maps} to disperse the \emph{b-nodes} by linking parents with their children from the \emph{bond-maps}. In other words, dispersion is an inverse operation to bonding.

\begin{example}
In our circuit use case, we aim to extract shared arithmetic computations (\emph{e.g.}, multiplications or additions). This use case is unique in how it treats operation inputs; we can synthesize a special \emph{advice} input that essentially behaves like any input from concurrent environments.
Therefore, we can bond all concurrent multiplications regardless of their inputs and unify the \emph{b-node} with a single multiplication with \emph{advice} in place of all inputs. This optimization can be viewed as extracting an \textsc{alu} for a particular operation in the circuit. Our rewrite patterns for multiplication optimization are as follows:
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*,align=left]
\item First, we perform upcasting of all multiplications with various bitwidths, \texttt{bw}, to the largest bitwidth of 64 bits:
\begin{minted}[fontsize=\small]{lisp}
(mul:bw ?a ?b) =>
(trunc:bw (mul:64 (zext:64 ?a) (zext:64 ?b)))
\end{minted}
\smallskip

\item Then, we gather all 64-bit multiplications and bond them:
\begin{minted}[fontsize=\small]{lisp}
(let Muls (mul:64)...) => (let Bond (bond Muls...))
\end{minted}
\smallskip

\item Lastly, we unify the bonded nodes with a single replacement multiplication
that takes \texttt{advice} values as input:
\begin{minted}[fontsize=\small]{lisp}
(unify Bond (mul:64 advice:64 advice:64))
\end{minted}

\end{enumerate}
\end{example}

\section{Limitations}

Unfortunately, bonding is sensitive to dependencies of rewrite rules. Suppose you have a rule that generates a new possibility to extend a bond set every time. If such a rule is interleaved with a bonding rule, it may cause an infinite chain of \emph{b-nodes}. To mitigate this issue, we utilize a suboptimal solution that bonds nodes only before or after generic equality saturation.

Another challenging problem arises when candidates for bonding need to satisfy some constraints. In such a case, one needs to find a maximal satisfiable set or generate a combinatorial number of \emph{b-nodes}.
Again, we have opted for a suboptimal solution that eagerly finds some possible set to mitigate this problem.

\section{Conclusion}
In this submission, we presented ongoing work on concurrency optimization. We challenge the locality of equality optimization and introduce a new kind of \emph{e-graph} node, called the \emph{b-node}, to reason about disjoint computations. This allows us to apply equality saturation to a new set of problems, especially the extraction of common subcomputations in a concurrent environment. We discussed new challenges introduced by node bonding and its relationship to traditional equality saturation. We demonstrated our approach using a real example of circuit optimization.

Alzheimer's Disease: Pharma Wants to Stop Drug Research—This Is a Mistake | Opinion
Davide Bruno

Opinion Drugs Alzheimer's Dementia Medicine
Alzheimer's disease is associated with a build-up of plaques in the brain called amyloid beta. These plaques are thought to lead to a loss of neurons, which then causes the classic symptoms of the disease—including memory loss. Most Alzheimer's drugs have been developed to either stop these plaques from forming or to help remove them.
Until recently, attempts at developing anti-amyloid drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease had been met with cautious optimism. Experiments in animal models of Alzheimer's disease have been successful, showing reductions in plaques. But when the same drugs were tested in humans, the results were disappointing. Symptoms of dementia did not go away, and memory did not improve.
This lack of positive results has been discouraging, not only for people with the condition and those close to them, but also for researchers, many of whom have called into question the accepted wisdom that the build-up of plaques is the cause of Alzheimer's disease.
As a result of these failed trials, some pharmaceutical companies have decided to stop research in this area. But this could be a rash move.
It is possible, in fact, that while anti-amyloid medications take away toxic plaques, they also cause side effects that cancel the benefits of plaque removal. One of these side effects is that brain cells will fire excessively, a phenomenon known as neuronal hyperactivity.
A winning drug combination?
We know that anti-amyloid drugs can cause the brain to become hyperactive. In other words, while the anti-amyloid drugs do their job of getting rid of plaques, they can also push neurons to work more than they normally would. Hyperactive neurons may then stop the new memories from forming or stop old ones from coming back.

So while anti-amyloid drugs eliminate what we think is the cause of Alzheimer's disease, their side effects bring on symptoms that are similar to those of dementia. The effects of hyperactivity can be especially bad in those brain areas that are already working overtime due to the effects of Alzheimer's disease, including some areas that contribute to the release of adrenaline in the body. But at this point, this is just a hypothesis based on animal research, and studies in humans are needed to confirm it.
The good news is that neuronal hyperactivity can be prevented and reduced with the help of other drugs. Combining anti-amyloid drugs with anti-hyperactivity drugs may ultimately prove to be an effective combination to treat this devastating disease. However, there is still a long way to go before an actual cure is on the table.
Despite a string of failed clinical trials for new dementia drugs, claims that a cure may be close have persisted. And there are reasons to remain optimistic: the potential for combining anti-amyloid with anti-hyperactivity drugs is one of them.

Stan's uncle is Jimbo, but Jimbo's last name is Kurn or something like that. not Marsh. Why is that?
Randy and Jimbo are first cousins, but to Stan, Jimbo is just an uncle. To compare, my sister has grandkids, but they call me uncle, heh.
Well that makes sense, you are their Great-Uncle. I never called any of my parent's cousins "Aunt" or Uncle", but that's just me.
Stone or Parker stated somewhere that Jimbo and Randy are half brothers with the same mom but different fathers.

That was the FAQ guy who answers the questions here. So yeah, they could be half-brothers instead.

That's right. My great-uncles and great-aunts (siblings of my grandparents and spouses of the siblings of my grandparents) call me nephew (not great-nephew), and I call them "Aunt" and "Uncle."


The nature of university culture is automaticity, of academics, research, development, advancement and other operations. Conversely, they are quite unfamiliar with the information technology (IT) business practices, and are the falling victim of software and hardware vendors whose "our product does it all and with no work required" sales messages are leaving universities exposed to costs they cannot handle, security that was not addressed, risks to data security that may be greatly increased, systems that are not compatible, records that are in a vendor cloud and only retrievable for an additional fee, which departments do not have. Academics personnel in particular, are not aware of institutional implications as they relate to software purchases. The cost of actual software is a fraction of the total cost to the university.
How do universities handle the cost they cannot afford? We charge students more fees, and raise tuition. And how do students handle higher cost of tuition? They borrow from their future (student loans). This vicious cycle will not have an end unless universities change the way they work and embrace best practices of a centralized operation.
Embracing best practices is much easier to suggest than to implement. The very nature of every university is to expose the students to different ways of solving problems using multiple methods. However, the technology is where the trouble starts. Explosions of applications that employ those methods are aiming at the faculty, students, IT personnel, senior management, and the president, simultaneously. Decisions are often made based off of a single evaluation criteria, in isolation, too quickly, with a very little review and input from university's own information technology department. The most common argument to any rejection of the new purchase order made by IT is—"so and so university has also employed this solution". Short of writing a strategic plan, the IT team is likely to be overturned on the decision to buy new hardware or software, and is left to figure out how to reallocate current resources to absorb the price of the new technology. This is a dangerous road, and will not be sustainable for any tuition dependent university. The truth is, a well-balanced distribution of spending between hardware, software, workforce, facilities, consulting, and outsourcing is critical to support the technology environment portfolio and cut down on cost escalation.
This is what a university CIO needs to be responsible for: to find effective ways to provide what is needed without wasting resources on untested, often unsupported technologies. In essence, CIO must be deeply involved with every aspect of the university operations. It must run a tight, cost effective ship. All Information Resources and Technology (IRT) should be under one central IT management. Schools and colleges of a university should leverage university IT infrastructure (such as: data center, end-user applications, support/service desk, network for voice and data, learning management system), personnel as well as the application that supports safe and effective technology environment portfolio.
Working together with your IT team is never more serious than now. In addition to these elements, the increasing number of cyber attacks on any large employee organizations are forcing IT operations to invest heavily in security systems. Lack of understanding of comprehensive nature of IT by the university community is changing, but not nearly fast enough. Security requirements and threats from outside demands the IT division to work closely with academics, admissions, research divisions, advancement, student life and others to instate best practices, which also provides fare less variety and flexibility in favor of cost savings and higher security. I am sure every academic department, for example, would find a good use to these serious dollar amounts that are now being directed to encrypting of mobile devices, and desktops.
Restrictions do not sit well with any university community. This is exactly how many universities end up hosting variety of redundant processes such as multiple admissions; classroom technology support, web services, multiple strategies, duplicated systems and departments often become competitors to each other. There is no better barometer for an academic institution's health than a strong and capable IT system that supports and produces quality services. The recipe is very simple: employ best practices that lead to standards, then to consistency, and to quality. To accomplish this, there needs to be a strong university leadership support for its IT operations. Investing in a strong and capable centralized IT operation is going to pay off in the longest run. It will open up communication channels on all levels, provide stability for key operations, support growth and save the university money.

Syrian Kurds have asked for more assistance as they struggle to cope with an influx of refugees from Mosul city and its countryside. Violence has recently intensified in northern Iraq, forcing thousands of Arabs to flee to the relative safety of Northern Syria – Rojava (NSR).
"It is our humanitarian duty to receive these refugees and facilitate their safety despite our limited resources. We have already received many refugees since June 2014, including the arrival of about 30,000 Yezidis civilians fleeing Shingal and parts of northern Iraq," Xelil added.
TEV-DEM's co-chair promised that the NSR would do everything it could for the refugees while acknowledging the constraints imposed by war against the Islamic State (ISIS). "There are concerns that ISIS fighters may try to escape and take advantage of the refugee movement to enter Rojava," he said.
Hozan Mahmo, a member of the Hawl Camp administration, told ARA News that thousands of civilians have crossed the border into Rojava over the past few days, fleeing from the fighting in Nineveh Governorate. Thousands more will likely follow.

Episode 109: Prefinishing Green Flooring with Carlisle Wide Plank Floors
Sean Daily, Green Living Ideas' Editor-in-Chief talks with Lindsay Barczuk, Green Programs Coordinator at Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, about the process of prefinishing green flooring as an effective way to control VOC-offgassing during home floor installation.
Sean Daily: Hi and welcome to Green Talk, a podcast series from greenlivingideas.com. Green Talk helps listeners in their efforts to lead more eco friendly lifestyles through interviews with top vendors, authors and experts from around the world. We discuss the critical issues facing the global environment today, as well as the technologies, products and practices that you can employ to go greener in every area of your life. Hey everybody, this is Sean Daily with Green Talk Radio from greenlivingideas.com. Welcome as always to the program. Today we're going to be talking about prefinishing and green flooring, and my guest to talk with me about that topic is Lindsay Barczuk, who is with Carlisle Floors. She is the Green Program's coordinator and also is known as the green queen internally of the company. Lindsay, welcome to the program.
Lindsay Barczuk: Thank you so much Sean. It's good to be here again.
Sean Daily: Well it's good to have you guys back, you know, and Carlisle has been great that I personally, as well as with the business, had a long standing relationship with. Way back in, way back in '98 when my wife and I were doing a remodeling project, we identified Carlisle at that time as a company that we felt was doing good things with sustainability with wood flooring before it was sort of on the radar screen and, so that's, and also happened to be beautiful floors, so that's true personal testimony. You can look at the floors in my house, and they are Carlisle, so…And that was done before I ever met you guys. But what's been really great, you guys have supported the site in helping us bring the content out to the readers about green flooring, which happens to be our, one of our top two most popular, depending on the month, it's either number one or number two, as the most popular content area on Green Living Ideas, so…
Lindsay Barczuk: I didn't realize.
Sean Daily: Yes. It's very, very popular and we have an enormous amount of content, and again, a lot of that's thanks to the support you guys have provided as a sponsor on the site, and, you know, so we thank you for that and we, you know, one of the things that I think that we didn't get a chance to talk about is some of the newer, you know, in the last podcast was some of the newer things that Carlisle is doing with regards to trying to, you know, be a green company both with products you guys provide, as well as internally, so I know that one of the things that has come up lately is this idea of prefinishing as a greener flooring option, so I wanted to give you an opportunity to talk with our listeners today about that.
Lindsay Barczuk: Great, well I appreciate it. You know, and it's one of those things that I think everybody in the flooring industry is seeing right now. The trend has been and will continue to be towards zero VOC's. So prefinishing is a great option because, depending on what kind of formulas you can use, you can control the amount of VOC's that you're using both onsite and what will be in the indoor air quality of the home. So what we've done is we've got a new system in place and we offer prefinishing for all of our floors up to twelve inches wide. We're actually one of the first companies out there doing solid wide plank floors that are prefinished up to twelve inches. There are definitely some other companies doing it, but we wanted to take, you know, aspect of the traditional wide plank floor with the technology of prefinishing and find a way to make them work together.
Sean Daily: Yeah, and this is interesting because, I mean, you know, the traditional way, and we've done with, unfortunately we didn't have the benefit of a prefinished floor at the time, so, you know, the classic way of doing it regarding, regardless of what finishing material you're using on your hard, on your wood floors, is you're dealing with a very typically toxic situation of, you know, finishing them in the house and hopefully you're not there like we did, we left for a week when we were having them finished and we were using tongue oil at the time and things like that, but no matter what, you're dealing with, like you said, there are volatile organic compounds that are occurring during that process, so this idea of sort of prebaking it and prefinishing it to your specs and then having it installed from there, I mean, that's what we're talking about, right?
Lindsay Barczuk: That's exactly what it is and, you know, using the system that we do, it's a really controlled environment because the other aspect of it, volatile organic compounds actually buy you a little flexibility when you're looking at finishes, so the, you know, the europhenes that are available out in the market place and some of the other finishes, they're designed to work in kind of the lowest common denominator environment where there's going to be varying humidity, temperatures, dust and things like that. So by putting those VOC's in there, you're kind of giving yourself a little bit more flexibility with the formula. When you come up with a system where all of those factors are really under control and in a predictable environment, then you can reduce the amount of VOC's focused really on that formula and come up with a better looking finished product, and it's just because it is a controlled environment and you don't need that extra flexibility, if that makes sense.
Sean Daily: Yeah, it does. Now I'm curious about, can you tell us about the process itself from like the factory standpoint, what does this actually look like, what are the materials and the process involved in doing this, as well as the benefits? Go ahead.
Lindsay Barczuk: Absolutely. I was actually back in our mill last week so I got to see it first hand. And the first part of it would be our stains. We've got fifteen Carlisle theme colors that we use, but the other thing is that if someone has a particular color that they want to achieve, we can work with them and, you know, create a new stain color just for them. That's going to be applied, and it's applied using this vacuum environment. So the stain is put on the wood and we're careful to make sure we get it into all the nooks and crannies of the wood, especially some of the antiques you're going to find more of those, and then we use a vacuum that actually removes the excess stain off of the wood, and then we can reuse that stain it was originally put on, which is cool. The stain is then cured using an infrared light. And the nice thing about it is that a lot of people that do prefinishing, they end up putting a lot of stain on the wood just because it's an easy option. Because we vacuum it and get the excess stain up, you're getting a really consistent color that looks a lot like a hand applied stain, which is unique. And it lets the quality of the wood actually come through, it doesn't just even the green out and make it all look the same. You can still see the knots and the character and the fetina of wood through the stain, and it's something that's unique to us as far as our staining process. When it comes to the finish we recommend using our custom coating, and it's a three, it's a four-part process. The first three coats are going to be rolled on, and there's actually a little template, if you can think of it as kind of a small half box, and we put in a template depending on what the width of the wood is, and those wall coats are going to put on just as much of the custom coat as you need for the width of that wood. It's going to seal the back side, as well as tug and groove or whatever edge profile you choose, so it's sealed on all four sides. And in the last coat is going to be a sprayed coat. Again, that's going to get into the nooks and crannies and make sure that everything is covered the way that it should be. We use the same vacuum system as well. That coating has about three hundred grams per liter of the volatile organic compounds, but again we're reusing it, it's in a really controlled environment, and thirty compared to what some of the regulations are of two hundred and fifty, is a tremendous success, you know, in our opinion. Which that means when it comes on site after being UV cured, there aren't going to be any VOC's that are going to show up in the clients home.
Sean Daily: Okay, so it's really affecting, the sealing process is more sort of holistic, three hundred and sixty degree sealing process that you have the benefit of being able to do in the factory versus what somebody could do sort of on site. So it's affecting the off gassing that actually occurs in the home once the product's delivered.
Lindsay Barczuk: It absolutely is because it's totally cured before it arrives on site. And the other part of sealing all four sides of the board is that there's going to be a dramatic minimization of any movement in the boards after installation. We're, you know, sealing the board, so essentially ninety percent or more is going to be cut off from, you know, any absorption of moisture, so your boards are going to be really, really stable. If we were just sealing the front of the board, you still have the other three sides of it that are going to be exposed, you need to deal with the moisture and be careful of acclamation, but because we're doing all four sides, the acclamation period isn't necessary, so you can actually receive your materials, install them that day, they'll already be finished and you can have dinner that night on your floors.
Sean Daily: Wow! Unless like what we had to do, which is to go away for a week and stay somewhere.
Lindsay Barczuk: Absolutely.
Sean Daily: Yeah, that's a lot better. Well good. Well we're going to take a break right here and then we'll be back. We're talking about green flooring and prefinishing in green flooring projects with Carlisle Floors. We're talking with Lindsay Barczuk over there, and we'll be right back.
Sean Daily: And we are back talking with Lindsay Barczuk of Carlisle Flooring about prefinishing in green flooring projects, and you can find them online at www.wideplankflooring.com. And Lindsay, we were talking about, you know, some of the advantages and the differences between doing a prefinished project versus a non prefinished project with the woods, and I'm just curious, within Carlisle's array of products how many different options do you have for doing the prefinishing?
Lindsay Barczuk: You know, we've got quite a few considering the custom nature of our floors. In addition to all the same colors, we really recommend using our custom coating. We'll do some custom color matching, and what this coats going to do is really enhance the natural supena of the wood so you're not going to get that plastic like coating. Depending on what you want your floor to look like, we can play with the sheen a little bit so you can get something a little shinier or something a little bit flatter. But we do have a recommended formula that we use. The cool thing about it is that it's about five times tougher than the high resin tongue oil that we've used in the past, and that's also three times hard than most oil based gerasines, so it's going to be a really durable option for your floor, and when it comes time to refinish it, much like our tongue oil, all you need to do is give it a light little buffing and then apply another coat to it, so you really don't need to sand down to the core of the wood, get down to that fundamental level. You wouldn't need to reapply stain, you can simply add another coat.
Sean Daily: Okay, so it's a different, a whole different maintenance situation here than with a traditional floor.
Lindsay Barczuk: Exactly.
Sean Daily: Or traditional floor finish, I should say.
Sean Daily: So, now what, are there any other downsides or issues about it, like, for example, I'm thinking, I'm just thinking out loud imagining this process of getting these finished pieces 'cause I know that one of the things is, you know, we had our wood delivered, stacked up, the contractors, you know, third on down. We didn't worry too much about, you know, things being dinged or dented because obviously there was going to be a finishing process that occurred, sanding and, final sanding and the finishing process. Do you have, is it requiring more caution now because these are sort of polished perfect boards as opposed to something that's rough and going to be finished.
Lindsay Barczuk: Well we recommend that the floors go in at one of the latest stages, definitely after your drywalls up, preferably after your first coat of primer has been put on. But you're right, you know, occasionally when you're working with a prefinished floor and you've got a contractor that comes in and pulls a ladder across something, you might need to deal with that. And one of the nice things is that this finish, like our tongue oil finish, can be spot applied, so if you do have any of those situations where you need to make a repair to the floor, it does, it's not a detriment to the entire floor, you can simply go in and address what that little issue is, fix that area using some of the extra formulas that we'll send out to you and you're good to go.
Sean Daily: Okay, interesting. And then, so basically what would you expect in terms of, lets say that the, you know, the flooring is installed today, what's the average, I know it probably depends on traffic, but how long on average would you expect it to take until the floor needs to be refinished again?
Lindsay Barczuk: You know, that's a really good question. I think time will tell, based on the fact that we're going to be a little bit harder than the eurothane, in a residential I would think that you'd be able to get ten, maybe fifteen years out of your floor before you needed to refinish it. Obviously if you've got little kids and dogs, that might be shortened a little bit.
Sean Daily: Dogs particularly, yes.
Lindsay Barczuk: Exactly, but you know what, they bring us so much joy, it's worth it.
Sean Daily: It's worth it, of course, yes, but, but yeah, it wouldn't hurt if you trim the nails a little bit, 'cause that's…
Sean Daily: It's the floor skid, that's really what, it's the floor skid when they go around the corner and, you know…
Lindsay Barczuk: Uh huh.
Sean Daily: Yeah. Cats aren't big enough to cause that kind of damage, but…
Lindsay Barczuk: No, and you know, it's funny because people always call in and they've got the bigger dogs and they say, you know, "I've got this, you know, Great Dane and I'm afraid it's going to mess up the floors", and a lot of times those bigger dogs have less energy and it's the little Jack Russell's and the smaller dogs that have a lot more energy…
Sean Daily: Definitely.
Lindsay Barczuk: and they'll end up scratching the floors in different ways than the bigger dogs would.
Sean Daily: That's right, that's right. That's funny. So I'm also, I'm curious now, just switching gears a little bit. I mean, one of the reasons that we have enjoyed both on the personal level as well as the Green Living Ideas business level, working with you guys is, you're not just a company saying, "Hey, we're green", you know. You're somebody who's like really through and through as a company from the ownership level down, you know, operating on practices that are more sustainable in every way, so, and I've talked to you guys about that before. I'm curious, I understand you guys have made some recent steps to even further green your internal operations as a company. Can you talk to us a little bit about that?
Lindsay Barczuk: Yeah, you know, it was funny, before the interview I spent some time talking to people in the office and said, you know, "I'm thinking about bringing this up. What do you think about this?", and you get different responses from people, and what my official answer to the question that I've spent a lot of time over the past week is that we've just upgraded our operating system, and you don't realize how much duplication of effort and how much paper is wasted in old systems. We now have some digital checks and balances, and I think we're going to cut down on our paper use by half by the time this implementation is complete. You know, another thing is that we just got some numbers back that over the past year we've cut down twenty-five percent on our marketing paper communication. And then what we do choose to use as printed materials, we're definitely going to consider the sources of those. We use the highest recycled paper content available and print exclusively with VOC free soy ink. And we try to use, you know, chlorine free based paper as well. So that's a big thing, and, you know, like I said, I was talking to people in the office too, and another thing that we do is everyone here has a plastic tumbler at their desk and day to day that's what we use to drink our water over the course of the day, which doesn't sound like much but, you know, you multiply that by the number of people that we have within this office company wide over the course of a number of days and I'm sure over a year we're probably saving three thousand paper cups because we all choose to use these plastic tumblers.
Sean Daily: Yeah, and if you guys want to take that even a step further, I mean, if you don't mind me, 'cause we were, I was using plastic, like the Nalgene bottle thing for a long time, but apparently, and this was actually information I got from one of the podcasts I did, is that, you know, a lot of those bottles will lead to very, very dangerous substances into your body basically, into the water and then into you body, so you guys might want to check out these Sigg bottles, s-i-g-g, the aluminum bottles that are non leaching, which is another step 'cause, you know, plastic a lot of time you use as, I mean, plastic is a oil petroleum based product, so it's like you can, and then there's always degrees of taking it farther and this is more on the human health than the planetary level, which is equally important because it's our health, so…Anyway, just a tip there, something we've done internally.
Lindsay Barczuk: Yeah, and that's a great point, and it's just thinking about everything that you do and, you know, different people here have different ideas. You know, we promote people taking public transportation, the company will actually offer refunds for people that use the RTD program here in Denver. And we've got a variety of different things, you know, we've got access to bike locks and things like that right outside of our office so that people can ride their bikes in. And just, you know, something new comes up, trying to figure out a way to make it work for the company, for the environment and for the employees. I mean, there's really no reason to not consider anything at this point.
Sean Daily: So it's really, it sounds like you're saying it's company wide, I don't want to say mandated, but company wide encouragement for employees at all levels to take on these things. Do you find that the people that are attracted to jobs at Carlisle are attracted based on that or do they sort of get indoctrinated into that once they get in and they go, "Oh hey, oh, these guys are really, you know, inspiring", or is it a little bit of both?
Lindsay Barczuk: You know, I think it's a little bit of both. I think that, you know, you start talking about people that want to come and work for a company that still crafts wood the old fashioned way, and you're talking about a different group of people than you would who would be working for a major conglomerate in a big high rise downtown. So people definitely think that the craftsmanship is an important feature. We've got a lot of hikers and bikers and skiers and I think a lot of it's the Colorado lifestyle out here. So it really is a combination of everything, you know. There's just so much more discussion and awareness of things now that it seems that it all meshes into one, you know.
Sean Daily: Yeah, absolutely. Well for those who are listening in today and who are engaged in green building projects, be they home or commercial, I definitely recommend looking at Carlisle. You know, the FSC is somebody that we've interviewed on this program, and they're really considered the definitive source and really a model for other industries in terms of their stored ship of the environment, specifically around wood sourcing and the FSC has certified a number of your floors and they don't give that certification away, so that speaks volumes alone, and so we certainly…
Lindsay Barczuk: Yes, Sean, just to let you know, we're hopeful that within the next couple of months we're going to be able to expand that to be able to offer every one of our floors as FSC certified.
Sean Daily: Great, I was going to ask you about that actually, so, good.
Lindsay Barczuk: Yup.
Sean Daily: Well it's good to hear. Well Lindsay, always a pleasure. Thank you for coming on the program with us today and giving us the update with Carlisle and talking about the prefinishing. It's a fascinating option with flooring, and if I could go back and do it again, I'd do it that way if I could, but…
Lindsay Barczuk: Yeah, you know, and I mean that's the bottom line, you know, you look at all the benefits that are going to come to the homeowner ultimately, and I know that price is driving all of us in this economy right now and one of the things about our prefinishing is that the pricing is less than what the onsite finishing costs are going to be if you hire someone in many of the markets, so it's cost effective too in addition to being a green option and a lot more convenient.
Sean Daily: Yeah, and green has to do with health, you know, the thing that people talk about this. You know, obviously it's a very, and rightfully so, a concern with regards to wood flooring and other wood based products is the sourcing and sustainability of the raw materials used in them, ingredients, but, you know, there's the whole issue of the health of the people that live in that home everyday with those products that is equally important because you're talking about yourself and your family, so, yeah, so, you know, it's good information.
Lindsay Barczuk: Thanks. And Sean, thanks again for having us. It's always a pleasure, and we appreciate everything you're doing out there to try to spread the word.
Sean Daily: Yeah, absolutely. Well thank you for your support. And everyone out there, I want to let you know about their, the website for Carlisle Floors is wideplankflooring.com, and my guest today has been Lindsay Barczuk, who is the green programs coordinator at Carlisle. Thanks everyone and we'll see you next time.

Title: A study of selected piano works by Jean Ahn and Hee Yun Kim that include Korean folk songs
Author(s): Shim, Sunhye
Advisor(s): Browning, Zack
Contributor(s): Hobson, Ian; Alexander, Reid; Ward, Tom
Department / Program: School of Music
Discipline: Music
Degree Granting Institution: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Degree: A.Mus.D. (doctoral)
Subject(s): music
Geographic Coverage: Korea
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to introduce two Korean women composers who are actively working in the United States and their compositions which are based on Korean traditional tunes into several compositions like Nil-lili, Berkeley Arirang, Mongeumpo, Ongheya, Folksong I for solo piano and Memoir of Dong-Hak for chamber to people who are interested. It is true that many Korean composers are involved in famous worldwide composition competitions. They certainly had many successes from international competitions. With the proof of these circumstances, this study will show two women composers and compositions with the reason of their balance and harmony between Eastern and Western music styles. One of two composers is Jean Ahn who graduated from UC Berkely for Doctoral Degree and is teaching in University of Pacific at Stockton. In 2006, she got the first prize winner from Sejong Korean Music Composition Competition with the piece of Nil-lili for solo piano. Otherwise, there are several pieces based on Korean tradition tunes which are Berkely Arirang, Mongumpo and Ongheya. The other woman composer is Hee-Yun Kim who graduated from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign for Doctoral Degree and now residency composer in the States. In 2007, she got the winner prize from Pablo Casals International Composition Competition with the piece of Memoir of Dong-Hak for chamber. The other piece is Folksong I for prepared piano which is a technique to bring out drum sounds to imitate Korean traditional sounds. With introduction of two women composers' compositions, it is hoped that all pieces could be useful to people who are interested in Korean traditional music as well as the spirits of Korean culture.

NTSB Points to Alcohol-Impaired Pilot as the Cause of Alaska Accident
Student pilot onboard was also drunk.
By Rob Mark
The Piper impacted just 15 feet below the top of a steep ridge. NTSB
It's a well-known fact too much alcohol can alter a person's mood, behavior and coordination, not to mention impairing their decision-making abilities. Aviators are not immune to the complications surrounding alcohol as some professional pilots have learned when they were removed from revenue flights after another crewmember or gate agent smelled alcohol on their breath.
It's not often that general aviation pilots flying while intoxicated become news, but an accident that occurred near Girdwood, Alaska, in August 2019 points directly to the pilot's alcohol impairment as the cause. A Piper PA22-150 was destroyed by impact and a post-crash fire after it struck a 5,512 foot ridge about 15 feet below the peak. The 31-year old ATP-rated pilot and three passengers died in the accident that took place in good VFR weather. Following the accident, the NTSB reported toxicological testing showed the pilot's bloodstream contained a concentration of alcohol 5.5 times higher than the regulatory limit for pilots. Testing also showed the student pilot certificate holder onboard also showed significant amounts of alcohol.
The NTSB report said, "While the acute effects of ethanol can vary depending on an individual's frequency of use, body weight, and tolerance, in general, at blood ethanol concentrations as low as 0.02 gm/dl there is relaxation and some loss of judgment; at 0.05 gm/dl, there is further degradation of judgment, psychomotor functioning, and alertness. At blood ethanol concentrations above 0.10 gm/dL, there is prolonged reaction time, altered perception of the environment, lack of coordination, slowed thinking, and mood and behavioral changes. Above 0.15 gm/dl, individuals may have significant loss of muscle control and major loss of balance. In addition to worsening motor coordination and disorientation, at concentrations above 0.20 gm/dl, individuals may experience amnesia or blackouts and double vision." Toxicology testing performed at the FAA Forensic Sciences Laboratory detected ethanol in the pilot's blood at 0.252 gm/dl.
A close friend of the pilot and the student-pilot passenger told the NTSB, "The purpose of the flight was to take friends on a 15- to 20-minute aerial tour of the Girdwood Valley. Following the completion of the tour, the pilot, also a friend of the airplane owner, was going to fly the airplane to Montague Island. [The witness] said 'the pilot and airplane owner had consumed alcohol earlier in the day and that he'd received a text that they were drinking, in addition to, a text that they were at the local mercantile purchasing beer. The two friends had an argument the day before, and it was a tradition to drink after reconciling their differences. He also said the pilot was a heavy drinker when not working.'"
One witness said he saw the Piper "…performing aggressive flight maneuvers as it approached the ridge before it pitched up and enter a steep climb before disappearing from view." Another said he saw the aircraft "make a steep turn to the north and the ridgeline followed by a descent, and shortly thereafter observed a cloud of black smoke." Another reported, "the airplane didn't appear to have enough altitude to clear the ridge and made no attempt to initiate a climb."
Paraphrasing the Board's final comments, the pilot was simply too drunk to realize he was about to fly the Piper into a mountain.

Lovin' Every Minute Of It! Loverboy Headlines NASCAR Pre-Race Concert At NHMS
May 12, 2018 raceproweekly New Hampshire Motor Speedway
Story By: KRISTEN LESTOCK / NHMS – LOUDON, NH – Race fans will really be "Working for the Weekend" in the run up to this summer's major NASCAR event in Loudon. It's official: members of the multi-platinum-selling rock band, Loverboy, will bring their 80s classics to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway frontstretch stage on Sunday, July 22.
The Canadian rock band will perform a pre-race concert at 11:00 a.m. prior to the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race. Among Loverboy's extensive number of Billboard hits, fans will get to hear "Lovin' Every Minute of It," "Turn Me Loose," "Working for the Weekend" and "Hot Girls in Love."
"Our fans, no matter what age, are going to have such a blast rocking out to Loverboy when they hit the pre-race stage," said David McGrath, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. "This band's music is still being heard on the radio in regular rotation to this day. Their hits remain incredibly popular to all audiences, with songs that just get you pumped up. That's exactly what we want heading into the race."
For more than 30 years, Loverboy has been a fixture on the rock 'n' roll scene, touring nationally, delighting audiences around the world since forming in Calgary, Alberta when vocalist Mike Reno was introduced to local guitar hot shot Paul Dean. Not long after finding the spotlight, the band found themselves playing on mega tours with Journey, Bob Seger, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Kansas and Def Leppard to name a few. They quickly became MTV darlings, being one of the first bands ever featured on the music channel.
"I'm a normal guy up until 10 minutes before we hit the stage," says Dean, who still claims to be able to fit into the same pair of red leather pants he wore on the "Queen Of The Broken Hearts" video in 1983. "Then the heart rate goes up, and I consciously step into the bubble, and I don't come out of it until 30 seconds after that last cymbal smash and I walk off-stage."
Loverboy is no stranger to NASCAR, and hit single "Working for the Weekend" was even featured in a 2012 Toyota commercial featuring Kyle Busch.
With their trademark red leather pants, bandannas, big rock sound and high-energy live shows, Loverboy has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including the four-million-selling "Get Lucky" and a trio of double-platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut, 1983's "Keep It Up" and 1985's "Lovin' Every Minute Of It." Their string of hits includes, in addition to the anthem "Working For The Weekend," such arena rock staples as "Lovin' Every Minute Of It,"This Could Be The Night," "Hot Girls In Love," "The Kid Is Hot Tonite," "Turn Me Loose," "When It's Over," "Heaven In Your Eyes" and "Queen Of The Broken Hearts."
Aside from Reno and Dean, Loverboy still includes original members Doug Johnson on keyboards and Matt Frenette on drums with Ken "Spider" Sinnaeve (a former member of Dean and Frenette's pre-Loverboy band Streetheart), who replaced the late Scott Smith on bass and continues a healthy touring schedule around the world.
