Rack'em up with Norm 'Farmer' Webber
Exclusive OnePocket.org Interview
While known more for his trick shot exhibitions than for his One Pocket game, Norm spent eight years plying the tables at Cochran's in San Francisco from 1955 to 1963 — just as One Pocket was coming out of the shadows and into the public eye under the bright lights of the Johnston City tournaments. Norm was inducted into the New England Pool and Billiard Hall of Fame in 1994. I had the pleasure of playing him regularly when he lived in Laconia, NH.
OnePocket.org: I really enjoyed all the material you sent me, Norm. So you grew up in Maine and your father had a bowling place with a poolroom, and that's how you got started…
Norm Webber: Yeah, a small poolroom up there in Sanford. I first saw pool when I was about seven. My mother, who was a very devout Catholic, didn't want me hanging around the poolroom. They had hired Jimmy Caras, Irving Crane and Ruth McGinnis to do an exhibition. It was back in about 1934, depression time, and he got those three in a package deal. Jimmy Caras at the time was World's Champion. I squawked and belly-ached until I got my mother to let me go in to watch this exhibition when it came to town. When I went down to that poolroom and saw all them pretty balls rolling around on the table it intrigued me. I just got all strung out on pool.
OnePocket.org: Was it mainly Straight Pool they played up there at that time?
Norm Webber: Back then they played a lot of 3-6-9, with those being the pay balls in 9-Ball. That was the game, and they played a lot of Kelley Pool, with the pills. And Straight Pool of course, was a major game.

OnePocket.org: You got to be a pretty strong player by the time you were a teenager…
Norm Webber: When I was thirteen we moved to Portland, when the War was on. My father took a job in the shipyard with everybody else. I wound up in a city with five rooms with twenty or more tables in them, and soldiers, and sailors, and Marines, and welders with their welding caps still on, all coming into the poolroom, and they all had money. I wound up winning the state tournament at fourteen. I could beat anybody around Maine at fourteen, and I wound up winning all kinds of money in those poolrooms.
OnePocket.org: I've heard you were on the road with your father at first – stories of you as a teenager, dressed in overalls, mud on your boots and everything, showing up with your father at different poolrooms…
Norm Webber: Well I went on my own, too, or with a buddy from high school, but after the shipyards closed my dad really got into it when I was about 17 to 20. We had a pickup with a little camper on the back – didn't cost us nothing on the road. Once in a while we'd go to the 'Y' to take a shower and that was it. Until one time down in Waycross, Georgia, something went wrong with the truck and we had to wait four days for parts, and I had hustled the town so I didn't have any action. So I said to the old man, I'll see you up in Washington, at
(l-r) Bob Ingersol, 'Boston Shorty', Herb Lehman and Norm were inducted into the New England Pool and Billiards Hall of Fame in 1994
a joint we used to hang around on 14 th Street, where I'd been hustling with him. He said he'd be there when he got the truck fixed. I ended up getting hold of ' Squirrel' and beating him out of eight hundred. Then I left a note there that I'd see him in Baltimore at another joint we'd been to. But when I got there nothing was happening, so I said to hell with it, I'm going back to Portland, Maine. So I left him another note there that I'd see him at home. So I went home and like the next night went to a dance and met this girl, and I asked her to marry me, and she said yes. So by the time he got home about five days later, I was getting married the next day.
One time just before Christmas, I went with my father to Portsmouth, NH, and I was playing the guy that ran the room there – the best player in town. Something happened, and I missed a shot I wasn't supposed to miss, and my father waved his hands at me as if to say 'you're a bum'. He got disgusted and went out to the car. At the time I needed 48 and the guy needed 16 or something like that. Well right after he left, I ran out on the guy the very next shot. We were betting everybody in the joint – we had about two hundred on the game. So I picked up the four hundred and went downstairs to where my father was sitting in the car, all disgusted. I didn't say anything to him, and we took off and headed back to Portland, Maine. Finally he pulled over at a diner and said 'You want a piece of pie or ice cream or something?' So I said sure. Then when it came time to pay the check I pulled out the four hundred and said, 'I'll take care of that, dad,' and handed him the money. He couldn't believe it, he thought that money was gone – that was Christmas money, and back then four hundred was four hundred.
OnePocket.org: Wow, that happened fast.
Norm Webber: He was hot because I was bankrolling him and the whole family at that time, so he lost his provider. That's how I wound up on my own, I hit the road on my honeymoon on a Greyhound bus. We went to Boston first, and then all over the place on that Greyhound. It was a tough life, but I just couldn't help but make money everywhere I went. Christ, walking into a poolroom was like walking into a bank, it was just a question of how much I was going to draw out. It was like I had an account in every poolroom.
OnePocket.org: Who did you run into in Boston?
Norm Webber: 'Boston Shorty' was already hanging around the poolrooms then. He was three years younger than I was. He was already the top player around there, along with a few other guys that played real good Straight Pool. But I was just going around all of the rooms – back in those days you could get on the subway and for a transfer you could go to any place in Boston for ten cents. 'Shorty' and I had a lot in common, we both started out as kids pin-setting. We used to get three cents a string, and it allowed us access to the pool tables, too.
OnePocket.org: When you first went to Boston you were playing Straight Pool and 9-Ball – you didn't get into One Pocket there did you?
Norm Webber: No, mostly 9-ball.
OnePocket.org: Did you ever play Bob Ingersol? I've read where 'Shorty' credits Bob Ingersol for helping him learn One Pocket…
Norm Webber: Oh yeah, we played a lot of pool together, but I never played him One Pocket. He and I got inducted at the same time into the New England Pool Hall of Fame down at Mike X's joint in New Bedford, Mass. The best One Pocket player I saw around Boston was Hayden Lingo.
OnePocket.org: I didn't realize he spent time in Boston – maybe that's who Bob Ingersol learned from.
Norm Webber: He was only there hustling a short while.
OnePocket.org: So when did you first really start running into the game of One Pocket?
Norm Webber: Well I saw the game, but I didn't play it for a long time. Matter of fact, when I was on the road, I never played One Pocket. I didn't really take it up until I got to 'Frisco. I love the game, it's such an interesting game, but I never had the intensity for it that I devoted to 9-Ball or Straight Pool.
OnePocket.org: I imagine when you first discovered One Pocket, not being experienced at it, it might have cost you a little…
Norm Webber: It never cost me a dime; I just ran out. I didn't know the game, but I ran out real good. You give me a shot, I'd break them balls like it was a Straight Pool break. I played real good Straight Pool; I was running a hundred when I was about fourteen.
OnePocket.org: Andrew St. Jean was another real strong early player in the area; did you ever bump into him?
Norm Webber: Oh yeah, we played a match together in Portland, Maine at Dube's Billiard Parlor in 1944 or '45. He came to play an exhibition, and I played him Straight Pool and beat him.
OnePocket.org: I understand he traveled as a 'Masked Marvel' for a few years – an incredible talent but had a lot of trouble staying sober…
Norm Webber: He was sober at the time I played him. I only beat him by one ball, 100 to 99.
OnePocket.org: Did you ever see him shoot one-handed?
Norm Webber: Hell yeah, he was probably the best one-handed player in the world.
OnePocket.org: Ronnie Allen plays pretty good one-handed, too. You saw them both; how would you say he compared to Ronnie?
Norm Webber: Ronnie wouldn't compare with St. Jean.
OnePocket.org: I have heard St. Jean ran a hundred balls one handed.
Norm Webber: No, he couldn't do that – that's a lot of crap. Pool players tell a lot of stories. Hell, I've been on the road and had people telling me stories that they didn't know I had originated – only they embellished them.
OnePocket.org: But he was strong enough one-handed that you rank him above Ronnie Allen?
Norm Webber: Yes he was. I rank him above anyone I ever ran into playing one handed. There was a Puerto Rican kid that used to come up from LA that robbed Ronnie Allen one-handed .
OnePocket.org: You remember his name?
Norm Webber: They called him 'Miami'. He was a friend of this guy Chico, from Puerto Rico. Remember him? He was a hustler from New York City. He used to say, "I'm Chico from Puerto Riccccco."
'Boston Shorty' and Norm Webber at an exhibition challenge match in 1995
OnePocket.org: Did you ever get to the Johnston City tournaments?
Norm Webber: Just once in 1968; Danny Jones and made the trip. Danny came from Kennesaw. Ever hear of Kennesaw? It's just outside of Atlanta. Well they called him 'Handsome Danny'. Well Danny and I were about the same age. He died unfortunately. He got into an automobile crash that really hurt his game. But in 1968 we played together in Johnston City. I had just come from the US Open that year, and I had knocked Danny out of the US Open. I got knocked out of the tournament in Johnston City and Danny Jones went out and won the all around that year – in 1968; he was quite a player.
OnePocket.org: Did you get into all three divisions, the One Pocket too?
Norm Webber: Oh yeah. Yeah, I lost a game – honest to God – I needed one ball and the guy needed eight, and I lost the game. I never went through such a grueling game in my life. I forget who the hell it was – oh yeah, 'Cornbread Red'.
OnePocket.org: Yeah, he had a knack for hanging in there by a thread.
Norm Webber: He really did. He banked out on me; I'll never forget it.
OnePocket.org: Norm, did you know he died just last year?
Norm Webber: Really? I didn't know that. Were you telling me Larry Lisciotti died?
OnePocket.org: Yes, Larry died, too.
Norm Webber: Jesus, I can't believe it — all these guys kickin' off.
Norm had a sponsorship arrangement with Miller lite on his exhibition circuit
OnePocket.org: It's been a tough year. Steve Cook died last year, too.
Norm Webber: What? Jesus Christ, he was a good friend of mine from Tampa. He and I played a lot together. Him and 'Junior' Goff. Ever hear of him?
OnePocket.org: He was another one of the early Johnston City regulars. How about the Stardust, did you go there?
Norm Webber: No, I was in the siding business at that time – I was making big money selling vinyl siding. Christ, I loved it.
OnePocket.org: Something tells me you could have sold just about anything, Norm.
Norm Webber: Well I turned out to be one of the best salesmen in New England at the time. When I was out in Frisco I got together with a guy named Bill Johnson, who was the best vinyl salesman in the world. I wound up fronting him; knocking on doors and making appointments for him. He guaranteed me three hundred a week and I was kind of burned out hustling. So I took a job with him and I went in on the 'sits' with him that I had set up and just listened to everything he said. I did that for a couple years. Then I went back to New England and became a closer and I had two or three front men fronting me in. Man, I was grabbing a grand a deal and I'd only work two days a week. I'd make two grand and call it a week. It paid real well — a lot better than hustling!
OnePocket.org: So, when you got to San Francisco in 1955 you were near the top of your game at that point, weren't you?
Norm Webber: Definitely.
OnePocket.org: And One Pocket was big out there at that time…
Norm Webber: Yeah, and I started playing with a guy that was so knowledgeable. He was the most knowledgeable guy that ever played One Pocket. His name was Phil Rodriguez; they called him 'Bananas', from San Antonio. He's running a room there now, or was a year ago.
OnePocket.org: Norm, unfortunately I don't think he's alive either.
Norm Webber: Really!
OnePocket.org: Yeah, I hate to bring you all this bad news.
Norm Webber: God damn!
OnePocket.org: I'm sorry.
Norm Webber: How about Irving Crane?
OnePocket.org: I'm not sure about him – I tend to know more about the One Pocket players…
Norm Webber: I wonder if he's alive or not. I saw him on that legends program on television recently with Jimmy Moore and Mosconi and everybody, but of course these guys have been dead a long time. I'm kinda thinking that maybe 'The Deacon' is dead, too. (Editor's note: Irving Crane died in 2001)
OnePocket.org: So you learned a lot playing 'Bananas'…
Norm Webber: Oh, definitely, but the thing was, this guy was the slowwwest player. I could go use the john between shots waiting for him to decide what to play! We'd play eight hour sessions sometimes. When nobody was in the joint I'd play him for short money, and I picked up the game from him. He was a hell of an instructor, without him knowing it, he was really teaching me the game.
OnePocket.org: He probably played that more conservative style though, and that's not really your style…
Norm Webber: Definitely. But if you could capture his moves, it would enable you to get into shots. You know, putting the guy on defense all the time.
Norm still gets out to perform an exhibition now and then
OnePocket.org: At what point did you figure that you had really caught on to One Pocket?
Norm Webber: Well, when I was beating him. When I was beating him steady, why then I decided to play guys like 'Little Phil'. Ever hear of 'Little Phil'?
OnePocket.org: No, I haven't heard of him.
Norm Webber: Well 'Little Phil' was one hell of a One Pocket player. He was from LA originally but he hung around 'Frisco while I was there, and nobody wanted any part of him at One Pocket.
OnePocket.org: Do you mean 'Mexican Phil'?
Norm Webber: Yeah.
OnePocket.org: Okay, I have heard that name.
Norm Webber: 'Leetle Pheel' they call him. He was a hot ticket – nice guy, and man could he play One Pocket.
OnePocket.org: At what point did Ronnie Allen show up out there in San Francisco?
Norm Webber: He was already there when I got there, in '55. He and Richie Florence – a friend of his from LA – came up; Ronnie brought him up. There were all kinds of guys out there at that time. I've got a trunk full of names that I've put down – hustlers – just scribbled down just so I wouldn't forget, because every one that I put down reminds me of a story. I figure that when I got around to doing a book, that I would get into these names and recall.
OnePocket.org: Do have any 'Mexican Phil' story or a Ronnie Allen story?
Norm Webber: When I knew Ronnie he was a young guy. Once in a while he and I would get together and play a little One Pocket, but most of the time, 9-Ball. He never got by me at 9-Ball. He backed me a couple of times — but I lost. He backed me one time down in Johnston City against Jim Mataya, and we played a set – a race to nine. I'll never forget it, he bugged me so much during the course of the game that I got agitated and couldn't play. Mataya had about nine guys from Detroit with him, all cheering and hollering and carrying on – you wouldn't believe it. You never went down there did you?
OnePocket.org: No, I didn't.
Norm Webber: You would have really enjoyed that.
OnePocket.org: Well I never made it there, but I have been to the Derby City Classic, and I'm told that has a little bit of the Johnston City flavor. Do you want to tell us about some of those other characters…
Norm Webber: Well there was Marshall Carpenter, he started out as a kid selling peanuts in a poolroom in Tuscaloosa, that's how he got the name 'Squirrel'. And 'Nashville Sam' — he played One Pocket pretty good. They called him 'Okey Sam' out there in 'Frisco – but where I ran into him was in Florida, and he was known there as 'Nashville Sam' at that time. Then when I got out to the west coast they were telling me about this 'Okey Sam' and I went in to trap him, and it was 'Nashville Sam', an old friend of mine. He stayed out there a while and then wound up down in LA around the same time I went down there. I had got together with Bo Belinsky and Dean Chance – baseball players for the Angels – in the off-season.
OnePocket.org: How about Marvin Henderson, you must have bumped into him…
Norm Webber: Henderson was the best colored player in the country that I ever saw, and I played them all – everywhere.
OnePocket.org: He was an awful strong One Pocket player I understand.
Norm Webber: Yes he was, and he played very good Straight Pool, too – very good. He was a great all-around player. I ran into him everywhere, New Orleans in the French Quarter, other places in the South, and of course he was around the whole eight years I was in 'Frisco.
OnePocket.org: Did you play in any of the San Francisco tournaments?
Norm Webber: Aside from that one time at Johnston City, the only tournament I ever got into was the US Open, and I finished tied for fifth with Crane.
OnePocket.org: That was an excellent finish…
Norm Webber: They gave Crane fifth and put me down as sixth because he finished a half hour after I did, or some damn thing. He had just won the World Championship in New York City just prior to the US Open. But I was delighted to finish that well. I lost my first match – I drew him for my first match. Jesus Christ, of all people out of 54 entrants, I had to draw Crane. I lost to him and then won seven in a row. I beat Butera, Danny Jones, Danny Gartner – 'Young Greenleaf' they called him; he was from Newark and a hell of a player. I safetied them all to death, I even made the record book. Then afterwards Danny and I went down to Johnston City together and he knocked me out – I drew him for my first game after I drove down with him in his car!
OnePocket.org: That seems to happen a lot; two guys travel together then they draw each other in the tournament. How about Don Willis, did you ever run into him?
Norm Webber: Don was a good friend of Joe Canton's and Joe was the reason I went to 'Frisco in the first place. Joe Canton and I were good buddies from when I lived in Albany. He and I went out to 'Frisco hustling together. I liked it so much I came back and moved my family out there. Well Joe and Don Willis were buddies, and so was Dean Chance. They were both from Canton, Ohio where Don Willis lived. Don Willis was Dean Chance's hero, so we got talking about him a lot. I never did play Don Willis, but I saw him play, and I saw him go through his trick shot routine. He was quite a character, and a hell of a 9-ball player. I don't know if he's still alive or not, but I know Joe Canton's dead. Joe was the 1950 national champion – he won it on the Navy Pier – he beat Crane.
An early exhibition poster with Norm in the background setting up a shot, and baseball star Bo Belinsky in the foreground.
Belinsky was a half-assed pool player and evidently I had gone through Trenton, New Jersey where he came from when he was a kid and I had robbed him. Then I ran into him in Vegas, and he talked me into going to LA and living in his spot and hustling all of these places that had robbed him, as a ball player. He got a picture taken of Dean Chance, himself and me in the middle with an LA Angels catcher's outfit on, and it said Bo Belinskey, and Red Saxby, scrub catcher and Dean Chance. So when I'd go into these joints with him, and they'd accuse him of bringing in a hustler, he'd whip out the photo and say, 'Hell no, that's our scrub catcher!' They'd be sitting at the bar betting twenty a game on me playing 8-Ball, and I'd be playing for ten or something, and they're betting all they can bet! We wound up going to every gin mill that had a table in LA. I was there for six months; it almost broke up my family. I'll never forget it.
OnePocket.org: So Norm, who would you say the top One Pocket players you ever saw were?
Norm Webber: 'Clem', 'Rags' Fitzpatrick and Eddie Taylor – I'd say those three guys – and Ronnie. They were all in the same category; any one of them could win at any time.
OnePocket.org: Did you ever see Jack Breit play?
Norm Webber: I never actually saw him play One Pocket, but I saw him play Straight Pool. He was the protégé of Danny Gartner in Newark. He had a joint on Bridge Street I used to hustle. I played Danny Gartner several matches for thousands off and on, down there in Newark. He taught Jack Breit how to play.
OnePocket.org: Apparently there's an old game called 'Corners' that was played on a special table with just two pockets and was a lot like One Pocket . In all those years getting around did you ever come across a table that had just two pockets instead of six?
Norm Webber: Never seen it.
OnePocket.org: I was wondering because you certainly got around a lot…
Norm Webber: I was everywhere, man – that's all I did my whole life. I came to Laconia once when I was about seventeen and I never thought I'd wind up living there, or marrying a lady from there. Jesus I wound up living there for twenty years – that's longer than I ever spent anywhere! While I was there I went on the road with my wife and we went to 46 states playing exhibitions – all the way to Blaine, Washington, which is right on the border with Vancouver BC.
OnePocket.org: When I was playing you up in Laconia you used a rail-first break now and then – how did you get started with that?
Norm Webber: I don't recall that. I always used to split those two top balls. I had the break down real good, I'd make a ball a lot of times. I'd hit just a little more of the second ball in, and lots of times the corner ball would go right in my pocket. Hitting that second ball with a lot of spin I got a lot of action. Those tables at Mike's joint were the easiest tables I've ever seen. I couldn't miss on those tables!
OnePocket.org: Did you start out on 5×10 tables?
Norm Webber: No, I graduated to them when I left Sanford and moved to Portland. There were a lot of 5×10's in Portland, Maine at that time.
OnePocket.org: And in San Francisco when you got out there…
Norm Webber: Oh yeah, a lot of 5×10's and a lot of 6×12 Snooker tables. We'd play twelve handed 6-Ball on a Snooker table at two dollars a ball and double on the run, and if you ran out — and there was a huge crowd in the joint all the time – you'd be lucky to collect your money, there were so many people mixed up in the crowd!
OnePocket.org: Did you get involved in any of the Golf games on those 6×12's?
Norm Webber: Sure, I played a lot of Golf. I played good Snooker, too. I wound up beating everybody out there except 'The Canadian'. They called him 'The Canadian' because he came down from Canada and was a real top notch Snooker player. But outside of him, nobody could beat me on a 6×12 – including Ronnie .
OnePocket.org: So One Pocket never really developed into your favorite game, but you found a place for it…
Norm Webber: I liked it. I liked the game but it was too slow for me. I was always a 9-Ball player because the quick action was there, and everybody played it.
OnePocket.org: Do you have any advice for anybody trying to improve their One Pocket game?
Norm Webber: Sure – just play a lot of it; the more you play the better you get. And work on your break. The break is the strongest part of the game. It's everything if you can get a good jump off the break.
I was a real strong lemon man when I was hustling the game; I had it down. I learned it from another guy that was on the road with Earl Shriver. Ever hear of Earl Shriver? He was from Washington. Earl used to travel with this kid from Uniontown, Pennsylvania — I've got his name written down but I can't recall it offhand (later recalled as Billy Mullins) – but he was the best lemon character I ever saw. Man, he was something else! He'd walk in a joint – a strange joint – and within a half hour he'd be getting the seven from somebody. He'd play them a couple games, then really flatter them to death and they'd love it. Then he'd hang up and go sit down and they'd come over and ask 'What's the matter? What are you doing?' They'd want to hear a little more flattery and he'd lay that flattery on them and they'd wind up giving him the seven, and he'd just ride the seven and nine. He was too much.
OnePocket.org: Some people say if you only play One Pocket you won't fully develop your pool game. What would you say is the best game to combine with One Pocket to build a good all-around game?
Norm Webber: I always liked 9-ball. You have to move the cue ball all over the table and you have to be able to come with a shot. Straight Pool would be the best teaching game, though. If you play good Straight Pool it helps in every game you play. It improves your position to a point that you really need if you're going to play good One Pocket. Plus you learn how to break the balls properly to get balls going your way. You're always trying to get a good break shot in Straight Pool. Well, if you put that idea together with One Pocket then you're always trying to look for an angle to make a ball and break the balls in such a manner that you get an open shot at your pocket. Once you learn to do that you're going to run out.
OnePocket.org: Now that's a Ronnie Allen specialty – to shoot a ball and have the cue rake the balls a little to loosen stuff up…
Norm Webber: Yeah, he picked that up from me because that's the way I played One Pocket. I really ran out most of the time. Those tables in 'Frisco were quite similar to those in Mike's joint in Laconia – they were old-fashioned big pocket tables.
OnePocket.org: So you're saying those tables fostered a more aggressive game?
Norm Webber: Absolutely.
OnePocket.org: That's interesting. Well, Norm, I think I took more than half an hour…
Norm Webber: I could talk pool forever!

The AlterG is the world's first anti-gravity treadmill. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2008 and is now used by those recovering from injuries, athletes and even seniors.
The treadmill uses technology that was originally developed by NASA engineer Robert Whalen. The goal, however, was the opposite of anti-gravity. It was to allow astronauts to run in space by increasing gravity.
The concept never really took off at NASA, but Whalen and his son Sean built on the idea to create the AlterG.
Here's how it works: Users put on a pair of tight neoprene shorts that have an outer layer with zippered teeth. You then step onto the treadmill and, from the waist down, you (and the treadmill) are enclosed in a tent-like plastic structure that zips to the shorts you're wearing.
From the waist down, you look like an inflatable bounce house. From the waist up, you look like an ordinary treadmill user.
Once you're all zipped in, the treadmill measures your weight and then you (or your physical therapist) decide how intense your workout should be. This "unweighting" technology can make you up to 80 percent lighter.
The effect is that you can weigh 200 pounds, but you feel like you weight only about 40 pounds—at least while you're on the treadmill.
You've obviously got to take it easy when recovering from injury so that your body can heal, but you'd also like to maintain your cardiovascular fitness and chase that runner's high. The AlterG allows you to do both. Take plantar fasciitis, for example. Anyone who's ever had it knows it can come back seemingly overnight. Running on an AlterG treadmill allows you to increase your heart rate and get your workout in, while still giving your feet the break they need to heal.
Numerous college and professional sports teams have an AlterG in their training rooms. That's because the technology allows athletes to train longer, run faster, gain additional strength and enhance cardiovascular performance—all while minimizing impact and stress on joints. Athletes also use the treadmill to begin training sooner after an injury.
The AlterG can help seniors regain—or maintain—strength in a safe environment without any risk of falls. In a way, it's like aquatic therapy, but without the water. It can help obese people get moving for the first time in years, allow people with arthritis to exercise without pain, improve balance for those with Parkinson's and allow even those with lower back pain to move freely.
That all sounds great, but you may be wondering if any of these benefits have been proven. The reality is that dozens of case studies have been done for numerous conditions, including third metatarsal stress fractures, ACL reconstruction, bilateral knee osteoarthritis, lumbar disc herniation, hip replacement, obesity and many more. You can review all of the studies and their results here.
The good news is that the AlterG treadmill is becoming increasingly common at hospitals, skilled nursing centers, rehab facilities and more. At Fisher-Titus Medical Center, we've seen firsthand how beneficial the AlterG can be for a multitude of conditions. Contact us today to learn more about defying gravity—and getting on the fast track to good health.

International genetic research, headed by the UW, aims to prevent widening disparities in future access to precision medicine-era treatment of Parkinson's disease in the Latino population.
Ignacio Fernandez Mata has just returned home from Bogotá, Colombia to his neurogenetics lab at the University of Washington. He's been to different countries all across South America, such as Argentina, Brazil, and Peru. Mata will soon travel to Uruguay and Ecuador to continue his work at the research sites participating in the first large-scale study on the genetics of Parkinson's disease in the Latino population.
The identification of genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease has revolutionized the medical research field, helping researchers to identify novel biological targets for Parkinson's therapies. These advances also promise to make clinical trials more effective by allowing enrollment criteria to be based on a person's genetic profile. However, the Latino population, who will comprise 22% of the US population by 2050, may confront barriers to these future opportunities.
To date, genome-wide association studies have found over 30 genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease, but the vast majority of this research has been conducted in Caucasian subjects of European descent. Human DNA varies between ethnic groups or geographic regions. Mata has found that many genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease common in Europeans appear to be rare in Latino populations, suggesting that unknown variants underlie at least some of their disease risk. Latinos experience slightly higher rates of the disease as other ethnic groups.
Mata and collaborators are now working to find novel genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease in the Latino population and increase knowledge and awareness of this condition.
With the help of a Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) grant in 2009, Mata created the Latin American Research Consortium on the Genetics of Parkinson Disease (LARGE-PD), a collaboration between the UW/VAPSHCS and investigators at nine institutions in South America. The work has generated the world's largest Parkinson case-controlled study cohort of Latinos and a DNA collection from over 4,000 subjects.
With a lack of funding in intervening years, Mata has had to make every dollar and partnership count. Building his study in South America instead of the U.S. has made it much easier to recruit participants and affected families of Latino descent, mainly from local neurology clinics. And, money goes a lot farther in South America for the resources and personnel needed to run the research sites and genetic collection protocols. But now, a new junior faculty award of $300,000 from the PDF gives Mata's team the green light to mine the treasure trove of data.
The LARGE-PD consortium will apply new forms of genetic technology and biostatistical methods designed to detect genetic risk factors in ancestrally diverse populations. Such tools have been made possible by large genetic projects such as the HapMap project and, more recently, the 1000 Genomes Project Consortium, which created the largest catalog so far of genetic variation in the human genome from people in 26 population groups around the globe in 2015. This and similar advances have led to reference genomes for comparing the genetic make-up of individuals in non-European population groups.
Mata's team will use the MEGA Chip, Illumina's multi-ethnic genotyping array, to identify the different gene variants present in the genomes of his Latino study participants. Then, the analysis starts as Dr. Timothy O'Connor, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland and Dr. Timothy Thornton, Associate Professor in the UW Department of Biostatistics lend their expertise in statistical methods to identify genetic factors associated with Parkinson's disease in Latinos. Dr. Thornton has used these techniques with success in studies of asthma, diabetes, and sleep apnea in Latino cohorts in the US.
Thornton's approach is suited to the diverse nature of the Latino genome. Latinos carry a mixture of DNA from three distinct ancestries: indigenous American (of South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean islands, referred to as "Amerindian"), European as a result of colonization, and African as a result of slave transport from West Africa. He uses a newly developed algorithm that can sort through the genome and divide the gene variants into the three groups of ancestry. Then, in reference to a control population without Parkinson disease, the team can search for variants associated with the disease in one ancestry at a time, or in all of the ancestries at once. These methods help them to determine how the gene variants affect the probability that someone of a certain ethnicity would develop symptoms.
* Cover image: LARGE-PD researchers talk with an indigenous Peruvian population about the research being done thanks to their contributions. They are meeting in a hospital outside of Puno, Peru, near Lake Titikaka.
If we don't know more about common risk variants in this population, we won't be able to offer them the right care, useful genetic counseling and testing services, or opportunities to enroll in future precision medicine clinical trials.

The purpose of this intervention was to undertake a system based inspection of the Site Electrical System at the Low Level Waste Repository Ltd's (LLWR) licensed site in line with the planned inspection programme contained in ONR's LLWR Integrated Intervention Strategy (IIS) for 2015/16.
ONR Electrical Specialist Inspectors performed a system based inspection (SBI) of the LLWR Site Electrical System to judge the system's performance against its safety function and to review the adequacy of actions taken, at a site-wide level, on loss of power. Licence Conditions (LC) considered during the inspection included LC 10 (Training), LC 23 (Operating rules), LC 24 (Operating instructions), LC 27 (Safety mechanisms, devices and circuits), LC 28 (Examination, inspection, maintenance and testing) and LC 34 (Leakage and escape of radioactive material and radioactive waste).
LLWR has adequate arrangements to ensure that the Site Electrical System is maintained and operated in accordance with the safety case and the site's arrangements.
The nuclear safety case arguments placed on the Site Electrical System are limited and are not significantly compromised by foreseeable loss of power scenarios.
In summary, the outcome from the SBI of the LLWR Site Electrical System is that the system adequately fulfils the requirements of the safety case.
LC 10 (Training) – IIS Rating 2 (good standard) - training and development of staff was effectively controlled and generally exceeded guidance.
LC23 (Operating rules) – IIS Rating N/A – the LLWR safety case documents do not make explicit claims on the Site Electrical System in terms of LC23.
LC 24 (Operating instructions) – IIS Rating 3 (adequate) - adequate operating instructions in place to support safety and are being followed.
LC27 (Safety mechanisms, devices and circuits) - IIS Rating N/A – the LLWR safety case documents do not make explicit claims on the Site Electrical System in terms of LC27.
LC 28 (Examination, inspection, maintenance and testing) – IIS Rating 3 (adequate). – arrangements met guidance requirements.
LC 34 (Leakage and escape of radioactive material and radioactive waste) – IIS Rating 3 (adequate) - the measures in place to monitor for the spread of radioactive contamination were adequate – limited inspection.
The ONR Specialist Inspectors considered that the Site Electrical System met the requirements placed on the system from the site nuclear cases.
From the information gathered and evidence obtained during this inspection no new significant matters have been identified that are likely to have significant impact on nuclear safety at this time.


A glowing orb filmed hovering over the skyline of Jerusalem has left UFO experts dumbfounded.
The circular object was seen descending slowly over the holy city's iconic Dome of the Rock before flickering and shooting skyward like a rocket. Similar clips have been seen before and debunked as hoaxes. But this latest sighting has proved more difficult to dismiss -- as it was recorded from four different perspectives.
Some UFO enthusiasts believe the videos -- which have taken the Internet by storm -- are final proof that aliens exist, while others say the unidentified object was the Hebrew god Elohim.
Two witnesses at the Armon Hanatziv panoramic lookout near Mount Zion filmed the object at 1am on Saturday. A little after one minute into the clip, the object descends slowly, almost to ground level.
Former Ministry of Defense UFO investigator Nick Pope said: "If these are real, they are some of the most incredible videos ever shot.
"If they are not, then this is a very well-planned and coordinated hoax designed to eliminate elements of doubt.
"The way it shoots up into the sky suggests it is unmanned, because no living thing could survive those kinds of G-forces.
"We know the Israeli army has some very high-tech drones at its disposal. If this is one, it is one of the most advanced pieces of technology created by man."
Another set of observers also uploaded their mobile phone footage to YouTube on Saturday.
They wrote: "Have fun debunking this one." In their video, the American tourists can be heard saying: "We've seen them in Mississippi like this."
Two other clips filmed from different viewpoints were posted online. Skeptics have noted the views come from perspectives that could make nearby objects seem farther away and faster-moving. Others say the whole thing was faked and have prepared several alternative versions of the videos which they say prove they are not real.
These include stabilized versions in which the brightness and contrast have been increased, which they claim highlights a major flaw of perspective.
Another is motion-tracked, and apparently shows the UFO "bouncing around like crazy" -- which, say the sceptics, shows the makers had trouble inserting it into the scene.


Everyone remember that we heard that the Nexus line of devices would be replaced by the 'Android Silver' program, the multi-manufacturer, pure Google experience on carriers? You'll also probably recall how we all cried and bemoaned the fact that Nexus, the price-conscious Android experience and development platform, would vanish in favor of pricier pure experiences? Yeah, that was a rough month before Google I/O, until we got the exact word on Nexus: that it won't be going away anytime soon. And that Android Silver might actually be the dead idea? Well, since we haven't heard anything about the whole Silver line of devices in a while, want some fresh news?
Silver is NOT dead. Not in the least, actually. TK of TK Tech News recently posted on their site about the continued existence and likely release of the Silver program, as well as the next Nexus device this fall. The best part is that something like 'less than two weeks' is how long we'll have to wait to see the new Android and Nexus device(s). That is astounding news, but wait, sadly there's more.
Galaxy Nexus, pure Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0, Google Wallet, earliest updates. Two of those things were lies when the device launched on Verizon Wireless a little over two years ago. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus did NOT come with Google Wallet support, and it had its updates delayed months after the GSM and the Sprint variants got theirs. That annoyed a good many people, especially given how necessary some of the updates might have been to the experience and usability of the device.
Now, apparently, the new S phablet line, with the first device to be known as the Moto S, will launch exclusively on Verizon, with an AT&T release after two months of that madness. The specifications look to be expectedly high-level, with a Snapdragon 805 and QuadHD screen, sized at a huge 5.9 inches diagonally. There are also two Nexus devices, one at 5.2 and one at 5.9 on the roster to launch this fall. Motorola was reportedly holding out for sales report and customer reaction to see whether to get rid of one of these sizes entirely, though.
TK goes on to say that there are devices from both Motorola and HTC that are supposedly part of Silver, or a new set of Google Play Edition devices. The Moto S will also NOT have Nexus branding on the back, regardless of what we might have seen before now. Similarly, the Nexus version of the Motorola device will not have the Motorola logo in that comfortable dimple on the back. The 5.2-inch device is also interesting, since it was supposed to be the Droid Turbo, but Motorola sources have told TK that it is not a Motorola device.
This means that another manufacturer could've been building a device, and killed it. The Nexus 6 name has also been, according to a source within Google, pursued avidly by Google for licensing purposes. As the story over at TK Tech News develops (which it still is) we will keep you posted over here. Let us know your thoughts on these developments so far.


Of course all of this was right up my alley as I've been reading about mental-training etc, since 2010/2011, I meditate everyday and lead a very healthy life-style too. To my disappointment though it turned out that some of my purchases weren't that good … but it is advisable to read lots of different authors and their take on the very same topic in order to get a good, balanced overview of things.
I enjoyed Cyme's work because if was precise. What you get are proper lists with in-depth descriptions telling you what is good for you and what is not. It is being sold to you in a credible way that makes sense if you've read other "well-being" articles and mental training books, etc; Nothing of what is discussed is unreasonable and of course the work instantly bears more weight as the author is/was a doctor. There was some information that was totally new to me so I certainly learned some new things.
The work is written in a very light manner but without being dumb. It is a genuine page turner, which is a rare find when it comes to these type of books!
If you are up for some no-non-sense truths written by a guy who knows how to convey his knowledge very well , then spend some bucks on this one. You will not regret it!

Read Around the World Tour: Bronze Age Greece
Hosted by Aimie K. Runyan, author of Promised to the Crown, we're traveling the world (and history) with ten great historical fiction books and giving away signed copies of ALL of them at the end! The tour begins Here.
Don't forget to bring plenty of guest-gifts with you when you travel through Bronze Age Greece. Guest-friendship was one of the most sacred bonds, and your best bet for traveling unmolested in and out of the incredible palaces of the Achaean kings. You won't want to miss the imposing Lion Gate of Mycenae, or the sprawling palace at Knossos on the island nation of Crete – perhaps not quite so impressive as it was during its height, before the Minotaur was defeated and Minos fell, but worth the journey all the same.
The Rock of Athens has weathered every storm, an impenetrable walled fortress upon the Acropolis from which King Theseus rules Attica and Crete with the advice and counsel of his assembly. Be sure not to snub King Nestor of Pylos, either – an entertaining host with a story for every occasion, you'll find your poor reputation precedes you if he feels that he's been slighted.
And of course, across the sea, there is the golden city of Troy, its walls the work of Poseidon himself. You'll find no finer palaces, no grander treasures than those inside Troy's towering walls – at least not outside of Egypt. But tread carefully if your curiosity draws you to the Nile Valley, for Egypt is not often known for its kindness to foreign travelers, even when they come with rank and riches aplenty.
...Even if you're Helen of Sparta.
More Posts About Bronze Age Greece
With divine beauty comes dangerous power.
Helen believed she could escape her destiny and save her people from utter destruction. After defying her family and betraying her intended husband, she found peace with her beloved Theseus, the king of Athens and son of Poseidon.
But peace did not last long. Cruelly separated from Theseus by the gods, and uncertain whether he will live or die, Helen is forced to return to Sparta. In order to avoid marriage to Menelaus, a powerful prince unhinged by desire, Helen assembles an array of suitors to compete for her hand. As the men circle like vultures, Helen dreams again of war—and of a strange prince, meant to steal her away. Every step she takes to protect herself and her people seems to bring destruction nearer. Without Theseus's strength to support her, can Helen thwart the gods and stop her nightmare from coming to pass?
