Man shot while
trying to break
up couple’s fight
A man is in the hospital after
trying to protect a woman from her
violent boyfriend at a Deerfield
Beach gas station on Wednesday
morning.
Broward Sheriff’s Office said the
man was shot outside of a Texaco
gas station on North Dixie Highway and NE 45th Street. The gas
station was closed when shots were
fired at around 3:30 a.m.
According to deputies, the man
is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Witnesses said the victim was
gunned down while trying to protect the woman after her boyfriend
had started to beat her.
“He unloaded it was all six shots,”
said witness Carlos Perez. “I heard
six shots. I was too scared to come
out I was hiding.”
Detectives said the man got into
the middle of the fight and tried to
break it up and calm the woman’s
boyfriend. Instead, he pulled out a
gun.
“I seen the shooter and I seen the
shooters girlfriend fighting…the
guy that got shot tried to intervene,”
said Perez.
The couple later walked away
hand in hand. The witness also said
the couple was later taken into custody at their home about a block
away.
“I was making sure that everything was alright and that’s when
the shooting.. he shot the guy. I hid
behind the dumpster here and I
waited until he stopped shooting
and I tried to render aid,” said Perez.
The shooter was found and arrested a short time later.
Judge under fire
for contempt for
homeless
Broward County bond court
Judge John Jay Hurley is known
for his off-handed disarming remarks to defendants, but now he
is catching heat over it.
The judge who has overseen
magistrate court for six years once
told a husband who landed in jail
for forgetting his wife s birthday
to buy her a card, flowers and
take her to Red Lobster.
“I do what I think is right, I
follow the law and that is all I can
do,” Hurley said.
Chief Public Defender Howard
Finklestein wrote a four page letter to the chief judge asking for
Hurley to be transferred out of
bond court.
“I believe Judge Hurley’s recent behavior expressing his contempt for the homeless and members of my office has crossed the
line,” Finklestein wrote.
Hurley twice ejected public defender Nadine Giraukt Levy for
asking the homeless be given
counsel.
“He has no tolerance for the
homeless and no tolerance for me
so he shouldn’t be doing that job,”
said Levy.
Judge Hurley insists that is not
the case.
“We’ve had so many accomplishments, lowered jail population gotten homeless into shelters. I’m going to keep doing
what I’m doing,” said Hurley.
The chief judge says he supports Hurley and has no plans to
move him.
33 migrants
rescued from raft
off Boca Raton
As a Coast Guard aircraft
searched for two missing Cuban
rafters Wednesday, rescuers made
another discovery: Thirty-three migrants clinging on to a vessel taking
in water.
The small raft appeared to have
separated in two, with five men
treading water as they held on to
one section and the remainder sitting aboard the hull of the craft.
Within minutes, people began
jumping into the ocean as helicopters hovered above. Palm Beach
County Sheriff’s Office deputies
dropped a lifesaver into the water
and two migrants quickly grabbed
ahold of it.
About 30 minutes after the initial dispatch, Coast Guard boats and
two cutters arrived. They were able
to account for all 33 migrants on the
raft. None sustained serious injuries or required urgent medical attention.

accused of rape
3rd alleged victim comes forward
As authorities search for a former
Cooper City teacher accused of sexually abusing and raping students, there
was a new development on Tuesday.
“We now have a third victim who’s
come forward,” said Attorney Scott
Mager.
He and his two law partners stood
outside the Nur-UL-Islam Academy
in Cooper City with large signs, attorneys say yet another former student is
now claiming abuse at the hands of
this former teacher, Tariq Ahmed.
“A grooming process occurred,” he
claimed. “A sexual abuse set of acts
occurred, same sort of m.o, same sort
of damaged inflicted upon the person.”
Attorneys said the three girls allege
that sometime between 2006 and 2008
Ahmed molested them, setting up off
campus meetings, sometimes using
code on the chalk board to set the time
and place. They said the school knew
and covered it up.
“They will not be allowed to stick
their heads in the sand or intimidate or
put down kids or do any acts which
offend the very nature of which our
society is built on, the protection of
kids,” said Mager.
The school’s not responding to the
Tariq Ahmed
latest allegation, but released a statement last week saying, “Recently, we
have become aware of disturbing allegations regarding a former teacher.” It
went on, “Upon learning of these allegations the academy immediately suspended the teacher’s employment.”
Many parents now know of these
allegations.
“We can’t say that he did it or didn’t
do it. We don’t know,” said parent
Aisha Kacmoussa who said she had
daughter who attend the school.
A reporter asked her, “Would you
trust your daughters with him?”
Kacmoussa responded, “yeah” and
went on to say her daughter was there
all the time and she never had a problem.
Attorneys tell us there’s an arrest
warrant issued for Ahmed but they
said he either fled the area or is in
hiding.
“This is not going to stop. We are
going to uncover all of the victims in
this particular case and we’re going to
bring these defendants to justice,” said
Mager.
The attorneys for the three former
students are asking if anyone has information or knows possibly where
Tariq Ahmed may be to call Pembroke
Pines Police.
Pembroke Pines police are not commenting on the case, saying it’s been
turned over to the Broward State
Attorney’s Office. The State Attorney
is not commenting either saying it’s
an open investigation.
“Khurrum Wahid, attorney for
Ahmad, said Tuesday night that he
would not comment on the case at this
time.”
Hazing trial underway
for FAMU band members
Pam Champion, right, and Robert Champion, Sr., left, hold a photo of their son, Robert, a Florida A&M University
drum major who died in a hazing incident. The trial for four band members charged in the hazing death of
Champion begins Monday
This 2010 photo provided by the Champion family shows Robert Champion, the Florida A&M University drum
major who died in a Nov. 19 , 2011 hazing incident. The trial for four band members charged in the hazing
death of Champion began Monday, Oct. 27, 2014 in Orlando
Florida A & M University’s Marching 100 had played at a Super Bowl
and before U.S. presidents. But one of
the nation’s most-celebrated marching bands had a dark secret: members
were occasionally beaten with mallets, fists and drumsticks in a hazing
initiation known as “crossing” Bus C.
The trial of four band members is
scheduled to start Monday on charges
of felony hazing and manslaughter,
almost three years after drum major
Robert Champion died from being
beaten during that ritual.
His death shone a spotlight on hazing at FAMU and other colleges,
caused the band to be suspended for
over a year and contributed to the
resignation of FAMU’s president.
Hours after a football game in Orlando in November 2011, band members boarded Bus C parked outside a
hotel. They pummeled Champion, 26,
and two other band members as they
tried to wade their way through a
pounding gauntlet of fists, drumsticks
and mallets from the front to the back
of the bus.
After making it to the back, Champion vomited and complained of
trouble breathing. He soon fell unconscious and couldn’t be revived. He
died from hemorrhagic shock and his
autopsy showed extensive internal
bleeding.
Fifteen former band members originally were charged with manslaughter
and hazing in the death of Champion,
of Decatur, Georgia.
All but the four remaining defendants have had their cases settled, and
several of them will be called as wit-
nesses to describe what happened on
the bus.
Darryl Cearnel, Aaron Golson, Benjamin McNamee and Dante Martin
have pleaded not guilty.
But a late challenge by the attorneys for Cearnel, Golson and
McNamee about the inclusion of an
additional hazing charge could delay
trials for those defendants.
Once it begins, the trial could last
two weeks.
State Attorney Jeff Ashton said he
wants jurors to learn about the history
of hazing in FAMU’s marching band
so they understand that what happened
on the bus was a “consistent pattern.”
Besides “crossing Bus C,” jurors
likely will learn about other hazing
rituals by band members.
Those include “the hot seat,” when
band members sit in bus seats with
heads between legs as other band members beat them, as well as “prepping”
when a shirtless band member is
slapped on the back and chest.
“They got on the bus for one thing
and that is to break the law,” Ashton
said at a recent hearing.
“The jury has to understand this
wasn’t an isolated incident, that these
four defendants knew what they were
doing and that they were breaking the
law.”
Defense attorneys have challenged
Florida’s anti-hazing law, claiming that
statute is so vague that what happened
on the band bus can be considered a
competition, not hazing.
“The hazing statute, the way it is
written is crazy,” Dino Michaels, one
of the attorneys for Martin, said at a
recent pretrial hearing.
Judge Rene Roche denied a defense motion asking that the hazing
statute be ruled unconstitutional, but
she reached a compromise with defense attorneys and Ashton on whether
witnesses can say the word “hazing”
during the trial. The judge ruled witnesses could use the word “hazing” if
they had previously read the statute
defining it, such as in the anti-hazing
pledges FAMU band members had to
sign even before Champion’s death.
Defense attorneys and prosecutors
agreed no band members have said in
depositions that Champion’s sexual
orientation played a role in the hazing,
so the fact that he was gay won’t be
brought up during the trial.
Although the trial start is set for
Monday, there is a chance it could be
delayed. Defense attorneys have objected to a change in the criminal complaint that added two additional
charges of hazing.
They claim they weren’t given the
opportunity to question witnesses
about those charges during depositions. The judge planned to make a
ruling by Monday, when she also will
take up defense motions asking that
information from the autopsy and some
of the testimony from the coroner be
excluded.
Defense attorneys say Champion’s
body may have been tampered with
when it left the custody of the medical
examiner’s office so organs could be
harvested.
They also say the coroner uses
analogies about how Champion died
that could be misconstrued by jurors.

removes judge who sold
religious books from office
Ruling says Judge Judith
Hawkins deceitful, dishonest during disciplinary hearing
The Florida Supreme Court is removing a Leon County judge who sold
religious books from her office as part
of her for-profit ministry.
The high court issued its ruling
Thursday to remove Judge Judith
Hawkins from the bench.
The decision goes beyond the recommended punishment from the
Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission, which said Hawkins should
be suspended without pay for three
months, fined $17,000 and reprimanded.
But the Supreme Court said
Hawkins also was deceitful and dishonest during her disciplinary hearing
and that can’t be tolerated of a judge.

214,000+ Doctors opt out
of Obamacare exchanges
Over 214,000 doctors won’t participate in the new plans under the
Affordable Care Act (ACA,) analysis
of a new survey by Medical Group
Management Association shows. That
number of 214,524, estimated by
American Action Forum, is through
May 2014, but appears to be growing
due to plans that force doctors to take
on burdensome costs. It’s also about a
quarter of the total number of 893,851
active professional physicians reported
by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
In January, an estimated 70% of
California’s physicians were not participating in Covered California plans.
Here are some of the reasons why:
1.
Reimbursements
under
Obamacare are at bottom-dollar - they
are even lower than Medicare reimbursements, which are already significantly below market rates. “It is
estimated that where private plans pay
$1.00 for a service, Medicare pays
$0.80, and ACA exchange plans are
now paying about $0.60,” a study by
the think-tank American Action Forum finds. “For example, Covered
California plans are setting their plan
fee schedules in line with that of MediCal-California’s Medicaid Programwhich means exchange plans are cutting provider reimbursement by up to
40 percent.”
2. Doctors are expected to take on
more patients to make up for the lost
revenue, but that’s not happening, be-
cause primary care doctors already
have more patients than they can
handle. “Furthermore, physicians are
worried that exchange plan patients
will be sicker than the average patient
because they may have been without
insurance for extended periods of time,
and therefore will require more of the
PCPs time at lower pay,” says the
study. The study also points to two
reasons that doctors might not get paid
at all:
3. An MGMA study indicates that
75% of ACA patients that had seen
doctors had chosen plans with high
deductibles. Given that most of the
patients are low-income, doctors are
concerned that the patients cannot meet
the deductibles and they will get stuck
with the bill.
4. HHS requires that insurers cover
customers for an additional 90 days
after they have stopped paying their
premiums: the insurer covers the first
30 - but, it’s up to the doctor to recoup
payment for the last 60 days. This is
the number one reason providers are
opting to not participate in the exchange plans. Currently, about a million people have failed to pay their
premiums and had their plans canceled.
So, Obamacare is asking doctors to
take on sicker patients for less money,
with the risk of not getting paid at all?
No wonder doctors are running from
these plans!
Marine freed from
brutal Mexican jail
Marine Sgt. Andrew Paul
Tahmooressi, who’d been held in a
savage Mexican prison for seven
months, is back in South Florida.
Friday, a Mexican judge ordered
Tahmooressi’s release after almost a
half year of beatings and threats from
Mexican guards and inmates in the
third world dictatorship.
He flew from Mexico to San Diego,
and then boarded a flight for Miami
where he arrived early Saturday. He
lives in Weston.
Tahmooressi was jailed for crossing the border with loaded guns. The
Mexican judge on Friday finally called
for Tahmooressi to be freed because of
his mental state and refused to make a
determination on the illegal arms
charges against the Afghanistan veteran diagnosed with post-traumatic
stress disorder, according to a Mexican official who had knowledge of the
ruling but demanded anonymity for
fear of retribution from the savage
rulers of the Mexican regime.
The brutality and savage indifference to human life by Mexican officials called into question the value of
the US Mexican relationship and left
the civilized world stunned at the uncivilized behavior of the supporsed
Tahmooressi
U.S. ally.
Tahmooressi has said he took a
wrong turn on a California freeway
that funneled him into a Tijuana port
of entry with no way to turn back. His
detention brought calls for his freeCONTINUED ON PAGE 6

“They’re very lucky,” Coast Guard
Petty Officer Mark Barney said. “The
way it played out, Coast Guard assets
just happened to be on the scene. If we
weren’t there, who knows how this
scenario would have turned out. It
could have gone in the opposite direction.”
The rescue came two days after 13
Cuban migrants took apart their raft in
Biscayne Bay. After eight days without food or water, the men on board
had decided to try to swim to shore,
each holding on to part of the raft.
Five were found by two pleasure
craft responding to a Coast Guard alert.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue pulled three
more out of the water by lowering
rescue baskets into the ocean. Two
other migrants swam to shore. An eleventh was found by a boater Monday
evening.
Authorities scoured the waters of
Biscayne Bay for the remaining two
men until deciding to suspend the
search Wednesday at 3 p.m. The Coast
Guard said search and rescue crews
completed 27 search patterns covering 3,154 square miles over 55 hours.
“Our Coast Guard men and women
worked tirelessly looking for the two
missing Cuban migrants; however,
despite our best efforts we have been
unable to locate them,” Capt. Austin
Gould, commander of Coast Guard
Sector Miami said.
“We were fortunate more lives were
not lost in this incident,” he added.
Ramon Saul Sanchez, president of
the Democracy Movement exile group,
said one of the missing men’s fathers
was continuing to search for his son
by boat. Sanchez said they’d searched
Elliott Key, where two others swam
ashore, on Tuesday and found part of
a raft but it didn’t appear to belong to
the missing men.
“We didn’t find anything from
them,” Sanchez said.
He said there were reports that a
raft carrying 23 people had left from
the port of Mariel about a week ago,
but it’s unclear if those were the same
rafters found on Wednesday. Coast
Guard officials were not immediately
able to say where in Cuba the rescued
rafters were from.
The rescues are part of a larger
wave of Cuban migrants who have
fled the island by sea and through
third-country land routes in rising
numbers. At least 3,722 Cubans intercepted in the water or made it to shore
in the last fiscal year, a 75 percent
increase compared to the previous year.
Under the “wet-foot, dry-foot”
policy, Cubans who touch U.S. soil
are generally allowed to stay while
those found at sea are taken back to the
island. Officials said the Cubans found
Wednesday would most likely be repatriated.
As authorities monitored the rescue from choppers overhead, several
of the migrants waved their hands in
the air. A trail of clothes and other
debris that had fallen from the raft
floated in the water behind them.
Their raft was painted blue and
named “The Patroness.” On one side
Christopher Columbus’ name was
written in Spanish along with the year
1492 and on the other side the words
“God protect us.”
Citrus season
forecast favorably
The 2014-15 Florida citrus season
could be a good one for both growers
and orange juice drinkers.
Orange growers should see higher
farm prices for their fruit in the current season, which began on Oct. 1,
but OJ consumers should see lower or
stable prices.
During a meeting Wednesday of
the Florida Citrus Commission, officials said citrus greening disease has
caused Florida orange production to
nosedive from 242 million boxes in
2003-04 to a projected 108 million
boxes this season. But grove caretaking costs over that span have more
than doubled to more than $2,000 per
acre, also mostly because of greening.
Florida’s juice processors buy 95
percent of the annual orange harvest.
A gallon of orange juice contains about
one pound solids.
FTL woman
critical after fatal
wrong-way crash
FHP says Marianne J. Campbell
driving south in northbound lane on
U.S. 19
The Florida Highway Patrol says
two people died when they were struck
by a wrong-way driver on U.S. Highway 19 near Crystal River.
The crash happened Monday night
near Crystal River when Marianne J.
Campbell, 51, of Fort Lauderdale, was
driving south in a northbound lane of
U.S. 19. She struck a car driven by
Ruby Pearl Ray, 74, of Nixa, Missouri.
L'Acqua Azzurra
Troopers said Ray died at the scene.
Her passenger, Greta Overbay, 75, of
Roachdale, Indiana, died later at a
hospital.
Campbell was airlifted in critical
condition to a hospital in Ocala.
An investigation into why Campbell was driving on the wrong side of
the highway, or whether she had been
drinking, is underway.
Toddler hit by bus
Authorities say a 2-year-old died
while trick-or-treating for Halloween
when he was hit by bus.
Polk County Sheriff's Office
spokeswoman Carrie Horstman says
Dohntae Vasquez of Lake Wales was
in a stroller Friday evening with two
other children when the adult pushing
them across a street realized he had
dropped his cellphone.
Horstman says the man stopped the
stroller in the median and told the
children to stay in it while he retrieved
his phone. That's when Dohntae got
out of the stroller and ran to where his
grandmother was standing alongside
the road.
Horstman says the bus driver didn't
see Dohntae running in the street. The
boy was pronounced dead at the scene.
No charges are pending. Horstman
says Dohntae's death is "a terrible tragedy."
Trick-or-treaters
killed in hit-andrun
Three teenage girls trick-or-treating in costume were hit and killed in a
Halloween hit-and-run collision while
walking at a Southern California intersection Friday night, authorities
said.
The girls were in a crosswalk near
an elementary school in Santa Ana

hit them about 6:45 p.m., police and
fire officials said.
The girls, whose names were not

13 to 15, Orange County fire Capt.
Steve Concialdi said. Two of them
were declared dead immediately, and
a third died as paramedics prepared to
take her to a hospital, Concialdi said.
The scene was “very sad,” Concialdi

Canada restricts
visas
Canada's Conservative government
said it is suspending visa applications
for residents and nationals of countries with "widespread and persistentintense transmission" of the Ebola virus.
With Friday's decision, Canada
joined Australia in suspending entry
visas for people from Ebola-stricken
countries in West Africa in an attempt
to keep the deadly disease away.
Canada has not yet had a case of
Ebola. Canadians, including healthcare workers, in West Africa will be
permitted to travel back to Canada,
the government said.
The countries most severely hit by
the worst Ebola outbreak ever are
Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Canada receives very few travelers
from those countries, which have no
direct flights to Canada.
A similar move by Australia was
slammed Wednesday by Dr. Margaret
Chan, the World Health Organization's
director general, who said closing
borders won't stop spread of the Ebola
virus.
Canadian Health Minister Rona
Ambrose said in a statement the "number one priority is to protect Canadians." Canadian Immigration Minister
Jason Alexander said the government
would act in the "best interests of
Canadians."
Kevin Menard, a spokesman for
Alexander, said the move is similar to
but a bit less restrictive than the one
the Australian government announced
this week. He later called it "considerably different."
"We have instituted a pause, but
there is room for discretion and if we
can be assured that someone is not
infected with Ebola," Menard said in
an email after declining to comment
on the phone. He said the government
was "doing anything we can to keep
Ebola from coming to Canada."
Nancy Caron, a spokesman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada, said
that "a number of African countries
have imposed stricter travel bans as
have several other countries around
the world. Other countries such as the
United States have started to place
restrictions on travelers from countries with Ebola outbreaks."
The government said Canadian citizens or foreign nationals with a visa
and foreign nationals who do not require visas will continue to be screened
at ports of entry in Canada and will be
subject to appropriate health screening.
Declining to criticize the move, an
Obama administration official said
Friday that Canada remains an important partner in the effort to stop Ebola.
The official was not authorized to discuss diplomatic relations by name and
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Stephane Dujarric, a spokesman for
the United Nations secretary-general,
said the world body welcomed
Canada's support in fighting the Ebola
outbreak but also advocated "against
isolating the three most impacted countries and stigmatizing its citizens."
Navy forces VP
Biden's son out on
cocaine charge
Hunter Biden, the youngest son of
Vice President Joe Biden, has been
kicked out of the military after testing
positive for cocaine, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
The Navy said that Biden, a former
lobbyist who works at a private equity
firm, was discharged in February —
barely a year after he was selected for
the part-time position as a public affairs officer in the Navy Reserve. Citing privacy laws, the Navy did not
give a reason for the discharge, which
was not disclosed until it emerged in
the media on Thursday.
In a statement released by his attorney, Biden said he respected the Navy's
decision and was moving forward with
his family's love and support. He did
not give a reason for his discharge.
"It was the honor of my life to serve
in the U.S. Navy," Biden said. "I deeply
regret and am embarrassed that my
actions led to my administrative discharge."
The vice president's office declined
to comment. Hunter Biden's attorney
didn't respond to inquiries about
whether Biden had used cocaine.
Two people familiar with the situation said Biden, 44, was discharged
because he failed a drug test last year.
They weren't authorized to discuss the
incident by name and requested anonymity. The Wall Street Journal first
reported Biden's discharge and failed
drug test.
An attorney by training, Biden applied to join the Navy Reserve as a
public affairs officer and was selected
in 2012 — one of seven candidates
recommended for a direct commission for public affairs. A board of
senior Navy officers interviewed
Biden before making the recommendation.
VP Joe Biden appears with his son before Hunter Biden was less than
honorably discharged from Navy after failing cocaine test.
Because he was 42 at the time, he
needed a special waiver to be accepted.
Cmdr. Ryan Perry, a spokesman for
the Navy, said Biden had been assigned to the Navy Public Affairs Support Element East, based in Norfolk,
Virginia.
The terms of Biden's separation
from the Navy were unclear. Typically, military members discharged for
failing drug tests don't receive an honorable discharge.
The vice president speaks about his
children frequently during public appearances.

Targeted patient isolation
could stem Ebola epidemic
Isolating the most severely ill Ebola
patients before the fifth day of their
illness may be the most effective way
to reduce transmission of the virus,
new research led by the Yale School of
Public Health suggests.
A team of scientists from Yale and
Liberia created a disease transmission
model that uses epidemiological and
clinical data from Liberia, the country
hardest hit by the current outbreak.
They found that each infected person
is transmitting the disease to 1.73 other
people. But people who will eventu-
ally die from the disease are spreading
it even further, causing 2.36 people to
become infected.
The researchers’ model found that
isolating 75% of infected individuals
in critical condition within four days
of symptom onset has a high chance of
eliminating the spread of the disease.
“In the absence of sufficient isolation units, our model emphasizes that
targeted isolation of those who are
mostly responsible for transmission
may be the most efficient way to contain Ebola,” said lead author Dan
Yamin, a postdoctoral associate at Yale
School of Public health.
Senior author Alison P. Galvani, a
professor of epidemiology at the
School of Public Health, added, “In
particular, infectiousness increases
greatly with disease progression, and
thus early case-isolation is paramount
to reducing household and community transmission.”
This new Ebola transmission model
is believed to be the first to consider
the effect of disease progression, the
rate at which the virus replicates in the
body, and the link between the risk of
mortality and transmission to others.
The Ebola outbreak now sweeping
West Africa is the worst ever recorded.
There have been approximately 9,000
reported cases and 4,500 deaths from
the disease in Liberia, Sierra Leone,
and Guinea since the outbreak began
last December. For the first time, cases
have been confirmed among healthcare
workers treating patients in the United
States and parts of Europe. Co-author
Dr. Frederick Altice, professor of internal medicine and public health
added, “Lessons from Liberia and this
modeling study have important implications for the ill-advised current quarantine regulations that have been imposed in several states, which are not
based on solid public health principles.”
The researchers acknowledge that
the model has several limitations, including projections that are based upon
initial dynamics of the epidemic. While
these projections may change as the
outbreak and interventions evolve,
note the researchers, they nonetheless
suggest that effective isolation,
through the construction of sufficient
numbers of Ebola isolation units is
crucial to containing the epidemic.
UF using sensors to monitor
dangerous hits on football field
In football, a tackle can supply 100
G’s of force or more, well above the
amount that can cause a concussion
and more than 10 times the force of an
F-16 jet roll maneuver. Now, University of Florida Health researchers are
using the helmets of Gator football
players to help measure
the force of on-field hits
as part of ongoing efforts to better understand and prevent concussions and treat them
before they cause lasting damage.
With a grant from
Banyan Biomarkers and
matching funds from
the Florida High Tech
Corridor Council -- together
totaling
$574,910 -- UF researchers have purchased the Head Impact Telemetry
System, or HITS, to measure the impact, duration and location of each hit
football players take in real-time
through sensors placed in their helmets.
Led by Dr. James Clugston, a University Athletic Association team physician at UF and an assistant professor
of community health and family medicine, the UF researchers will correlate
the data they collect from the sensors
with additional data from blood and
magnetic resonance imaging tests. This
will allow researchers to get a complete picture of concussions when they
occur in athletes.
“We are still trying to find objective ways to detect concussions and
help us know when someone is recovered so they can return to play,”
Clugston said. “We wanted to get a
measure of the amount of force that
athletes were experiencing. With this
system, we will get real-time data to
assess the severity of the impact.”
The researchers began using the
system at the start of the current football season. They are measuring hits
in 30 football players on the UF team.
In addition to helping the researchers understand more about the forces
at work in concussions, the data collected from the sensors also can help
individual players reduce their own
risk of injury. For example, the system
has already allowed the researchers to
see that some players were putting
their heads down during tackles, which
is dangerous and increases their risk
of concussion and cervical spine injury. The coaching staff was alerted
and then able to talk to the players so
they could correct the behavior.
The researchers also plan to use the
system to track the number of hits
players receive over time.
“You may see that a player has had
many hits in a week, season or career,”
Clugston said. “Some studies show
that the risk of concussion goes up
Researchers discover
leukemia’s hiding places
Now, UF Health researchers are
using a two-year, $800,000 grant from
the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
to screen for new drugs that disrupt
the tight-knit relationship between leukemia cells and blood vessels.
Dr. Christopher R. Cogle, one of
the study’s lead co-authors and an as-

sociate professor of medicine at the
UF College of Medicine, has found
that leukemia cells hug the branches
of blood vessels. When they do this,
they integrate into the lining of the
blood vessels. They also change shape,
mimicking the long, thin cells lining
blood vessels, called endothelial cells.
“There’s a protective advantage
when leukemia cells integrate within
blood vessels,” Cogle said. “The blood
vessel walls are a shelter for leukemia
cells, and we found that leukemia cells
can nestle within blood vessel linings
and go to sleep.”
This can cause traditional chemotherapy to wash over leukemia cells.
After some time has passed, these hidden cells reawaken as a form of relapse, Cogle said. Relapsing leukemia
is one of the greatest challenges in
treating patients with blood cancers.
In the leukemia study, the researchers discovered leukemia cells clustering around and within blood vessel
walls. Some leukemia cells fused with
endothelial cells, blurring the lines
based on how many hits a player received in the preceding days as well as
how many concussions they may have
had in the past.”
According to a 2013 Institute of
Medicine and National Research
Council report, concussions occurred
in college athletes approximately every 4.3 out
of 10,000 times they were
on the field, either to practice or play.
This is the fourth year
Clugston’s team has received funding from Banyan Biomarkers to test
players’ blood samples for
proteins in blood that are
linked to brain injury.
The researchers collect
and test blood samples
from players after concussions and also after
normal play to ensure the act of playing itself does not cause these telltale
proteins to increase.
Last year the researchers began incorporating advanced MRI testing as
part of these efforts with support from
the department of radiology and direct
guidance from Dr. Keith Peters, an
associate professor of neuroradiology.
HITS will help them expand and better understand this data, Clugston said.
“It helps us track over time which
athletes have sustained the most impact and whether that matches the
blood biomarkers we are testing and
the imaging results,” Clugston said.
“HITS helps us make sense of that
other data.
Hopefully, these efforts can make
us better at diagnosing and managing
concussions and ultimately increase
player safety.”
between what is a blood vessel and
what is cancer, said Ed Scott, a professor in the UF College of Medicine
department of molecular genetics and
microbiology and a co-author of the
paper. Using a mouse model, Scott
and Cogle, both members of the UF
Health Cancer Center, were able to
study human leukemia cells in mice.
After treating the mice with chemotherapy, the researchers were able to
study why some of the leukemia cells
were able to survive, Scott said.
“A small number of these leukemia
cells stuck to the blood vessels so
tightly that we had a hard time getting
them out of the blood vessel wall,”
Scott said.
Cogle thinks these leukemia cells
are responsible for relapsing disease.
“In the race of survival of the fittest, leukemia cells that hug blood
vessels have a greater chance of withstanding chemotherapy and taking over
the body,” Cogle said.
Most chemotherapies target rapidly
dividing cells, which is why people
lose hair and can become nauseated,
Scott said.
“But when leukemia cells are in the
blood vessel walls, it’s easy for them
to get nutrients, hang out there and
more or less take a nap,” Scott said.
“If we can get them unattached or
prevent interaction to begin with, then
they are out in circulation where they
are more exposed to chemotherapy.”
Cogle is currently testing a drug,
called OXi4503, in patients with acute
myeloid leukemia or a myelodysplastic
syndrome to determine the safety of
various doses. The drug appears to
target blood vessels and leukemia cells.
The phase 1 clinical trial started in
2011.
Sixteen patients age 18 to 70 have
received the drug so far, and the team
expects 12 more patients to receive it
before the end of the trial’s first phase.
“We’re currently recruiting patients
with leukemia to our trial,” Cogle said.
“I work with an amazing team of laboratory and clinical researchers.”
Politics can interact with evolution
to shape human destiny
Politics can have unintentional evolutionary consequences that may cause
hastily issued policies to cascade into
global, multigenerational problems,
according to political scientists.
"Most western democracies look at policies as
if they are bandages, we
fix what we can and then
move on," said Pete
Hatemi, associate professor of political science,
Penn State. "But we need
to consider generational
policies so that we can fix
what we can now, but also
be prepared for what
comes next."
The researchers said
that there is an interaction between
political and cultural forces and evolutionary results. Genes can shape
culture and political institutions, which
in turn can shape biology and physiology, passing on certain traits to future
generations.
The environment's influence on
adaptation and how it changes biology
is better known and often easier to
observe, said Hatemi, but the way culture can affect gene expressions in
future generations is often harder to
show and may take longer to reveal
itself.
One more obvious way to see how
culture affects natural selection is the
effect that politically inspired atrocities -- for example, Communist purges
in China and USSR and the Nazi Holocaust -- have on genetic diversity,
according to the researchers, who released their findings in a recent issue
of Advances in Political Psychology.
Other examples are just beginning
to be studied. For example, researchers are starting to investigate whether,
in certain conflicts, such as the Sudan,
children who endured violence as soldiers, or mothers who suffered stress
and malnutrition during famines, experience shifts in gene expression.
"Biology is affected by culture just
as culture is changed by human biology," the researchers write.
Hatemi, who worked with Rose
McDermott, the David and Marianna
Fisher University Professor of International Relations, Brown University,
said this interaction between culture
and biology could explain why some
troubled hot spots remain troubled over
many years.
People who are born in aggressive
environments may pass on traits that
make it more likely that future generations react to certain situations violently, he added.
"These changes, then, may have a
long-range effect on children and on
who those children become when they
grow up," said Hatemi. "Those who
grow up in a violent culture may have
more of a tendency to respond with
aggression in the future."
Placebo better than 'watchful
waiting' for children'scoughs
Both agave nectar and a placebo
were more effective than no treatment
for young children's cough symptoms,
according to researchers at Penn State
College of Medicine.
The findings suggest that a placebo
could help children more than "watchful waiting."
The Food and Drug Administration
recommends against the use of overthe-counter cough and cold medications in children under two years old
due to safety concerns and a lack of
evidence for their effectiveness in this
age group. As part of a voluntary
change announced in 2008 by the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, most OTC cough and cold remedy labels state they should not be
used in children under four.
"Pediatricians typically tell parents,
'Don't give your child anything,' or at
most give them acetaminophen or
ibuprofen," said Ian Paul, professor of
pediatrics. "We know sick children
are miserable and can't sleep, and parents are frustrated that they can't do
anything to help."
Another problem is that politicians
typically create policies in a one-sizefits-all approach, Hatemi said, but
there are considerable differences
among groups.
"Education is a good
example," said Hatemi.
"We try to create educational policies to benefit the
greatest number of people,
but we also know that not
everyone responds to education in the same way."
A similar dynamic may
be at work in the creation
of policies that guide health
care and foreign affairs. Not
all groups respond to diets
in the same way, for example, and reproductive health varies
across populations.
"We suggest that one of the reasons
for the common failure of well-designed, well-intentioned social programs lies in the implicit 'one size fits
all' assumptions, as well as the mismatch between modern intentions and
older psychological drives and incentives," the researchers write.
While genetics is often seen as a
rigid blueprint for destiny, the researchers suggest that humans are extremely adaptable and capable, to some
degree, of molding evolutionary forces
for good and bad. Humans have managed their environment by developing
everything from tools and weapons to
medical technologies, from crutches
to vaccines.
"Evolution and genetic influence
are, of course, important, but that
doesn't mean it's fixed," Hatemi said.
"We can shape policies that can shape
evolution."
Cough is a frequent symptom for
infants and toddlers, and is one of the
most common reasons children visit a
healthcare provider. Little evidence
supports use of OTC medicines for
acute cough, particularly in younger
children. In the absence of effective
treatments, doctors report feeling pressured by some parents to prescribe
antibiotics, which do not affect the
viruses that cause colds and their symptoms.
In 2007, Paul's team published findings that honey was more effective
than placebo for children's coughs.
The findings have since been replicated by other researchers. However,
honey is not allowed in children under
age one due to risks of infantile botulism. Agave nectar shares similar
physical properties with honey without known risk of infantile botulism.
"We found that placebo was better
than doing nothing," said Paul. "For
kids under age one, for which there is
no other option, the findings may be
particularly important."
Using a placebo for coughs in young
children could reduce inappropriate
antibiotic prescriptions.
Adverse results in both the agave
nectar and placebo groups were rare.
"Perhaps this is a case where giving
a placebo, such as agave nectar or
sugar water, can help parents and their
babies get through this annoying illness," Paul said. "This is a discussion
that the pediatric community and parents are going to have to have."
Better chemotherapy through targeted delivery
Every year, about 100,000 Americans are diagnosed with brain tumors
that have spread from elsewhere in the
body.
These tumors, known as metastases,
are usually treated with
surgery followed by
chemotherapy, but the
cancer often returns.
A new study from
MIT, Brigham and
Women’s Hospital, and
Johns Hopkins University suggests that delivering chemotherapy
directly into the brain
cavity may offer a better way to treat tumors
that have metastasized
to the brain.
Testing their new
approach in mice, the
researchers found that
the chemotherapy drug temozolomide
(TMZ) was more effective when delivered via tiny capsules implanted
inside the skull.
This suggests that a similar approach might be more effective in human patients, says Michael Cima, the
David H. Koch Professor of Engineering at MIT and a senior author of the
study.
“Metastatic disease should be sensitive to chemotherapy, but systemic
chemotherapy has not proven effective because it’s not getting to the
brain at a high enough dose for a long
enough period of time,” says Cima,
who is also a member of MIT’s Koch
Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. “We’re showing we get much
higher degrees of tumor cell death
when we deliver the drug locally.”
Chemotherapy drugs are usually
delivered via intravenous injection.
To make sure that enough reaches a
tumor, very large quantities must be
given, often producing side effects.
For a few types of cancer, doctors
have developed more targeted approaches.
With ovarian cancer, the best results are achieved when drugs are delivered directly into the abdominal
cavity.
However, this is not widely done
because it requires implanting a cath-
eter in the patient for 12 weeks, which
is difficult for the patients to tolerate.
“There are already established
methods for improving patient care,”
Cima says. “There just aren’t good
ways to do it.”
To overcome these delivery issues,
Cima’s lab is working on small implantable devices to deliver drugs for
ovarian cancer and bladder disease, as
well as brain cancer.
For the new brain study, the researchers delivered chemotherapy
drugs via implantable microcapsules
made of a biocompatible material
called liquid crystal polymer.
The capsules are small cylinders
with a 1.5-milliliter drug capacity; the
drug diffuses out through a small hole.
These are experimental devices the
researchers selected to test whether
the concept of local delivery would
work, but they were so effective in
this study that Cima says they may end
up being the most promising vehicle
for potential human clinical trials.
The researchers tested two chemotherapy agents: TMZ, which is a firstline treatment for brain metastasis and
gliomas, and doxorubicin, a common
treatment for breast cancer, which often metastasizes to the brain.
Working with mice implanted with
tumors similar to human brain metastases, the researchers found that
TMZ delivered directly to the brain
prolonged survival by several days
compared with TMZ administered by
injection.
They also found higher rates of
apoptosis, or programmed cell death,
in tumor cells near the capsules.
However, doxorubicin delivered to
the brain did not perform as well as
systemic injection of doxorubicin.
Although there are still
many hurdles to developing this approach to treat
human cancer, Cima says
he believes it is worth
pursuing because so many
cancers, particularly those
of the breast and lung,
spread to the brain.
The researchers are
also working on using this
approach to precisely deliver drugs to very small
regions of the brain, in
hopes of developing better treatments for psychiatric
and
neurodegenerative disorders.

Prepare Far Ahead for
Long-term Care Costs
The divers descended 410 feet into
dark Mediterranean waters off Italy,
their lights revealing the skeleton of a
ship that sank thousands of years ago
when Rome was a world power. A seacrusted anchor rested on a rock. The
ship's cargo lay scattered amid piles of
terra cotta jars, called amphora.
Highly trained technical divers with
a Florida-based group called Global
Underwater Explorers -- GUE for short
-- are helping Italian researchers to
unlock an ancient shipwreck thought
to date to the second Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage. Able to
descend hundreds of feet further than
most divers, they aide the archaeologists by swimming about the wreck
fetching artifacts -- as no robotic submersible can.
On this dive, they swam past the
large amphora used to carry wine, olive oil and other cargo on Mediterranean trade routes centuries ago -- feeling as if they were transported to another time.
"It felt very much like a ghost ship
awaiting the boarding of ancient mariners," said Jarrod Jablonski, one of
the divers with the exploration group
based in the Florida community of
High Springs.
Many of these divers honed their
deep-water diving abilities in Florida's
labyrinths of underwater caves. Now
GUE provides the technical divers
needed to access cargo and other artifacts from a ship thought to have sailed
around 218-210 B.C. -- when Rome
and Carthage were fighting for naval
superiority in the Mediterranean.
Called the Panarea III, the ship was
discovered off the Aeolian island of
Panarea in 2010 by American researchers using sonar and a remotely operated submersible in waters about 40
miles north of Sicily.
Archaeologists said the ship is a
wooden vessel about 50 feet long that
could have hit rough seas and broken
up on rocks before plunging to the sea
bottom -- possibly a wealthy
merchant's cargo ship or one used to
supply the Roman military.
"This shipwreck is a very important occasion to understand more about

daily life on the ancient ship as well as
the real dynamics of ancient trade,"
said Sebastiano Tusa, an Italian archaeologist who is studying the site.
"Of course, there are other similar
shipwrecks that can offer similar study
cases. But this has the peculiarity to
be in a very good preservation condition."
The ship was so far underwater that
it has been safe for centuries from
looters and entanglement in fishing
gear.
As Jablonski and seven other GUE
divers explored the wreck in September, Italian archaeologists shadowed
them in a small submarine, shining a
bright light on the trove of GrecoRoman artifacts. As researchers in the
sub pointed to objects, the divers retrieved them, swimming to the sub's
window for viewing. A thumbs-up,
and the items were attached to balloons and sent to the surface.
clumsy. But the GUE divers use specially prepared mixes of gases, which
eliminate the problem of diving so
deep. But the gases must be balanced
carefully at each depth, or they could
die or become extremely sick.
The divers must slowly descend.
They can only work for about 30 minutes before making a 4-to-5 hour ascent to protect against illness.
"Technology hasn't substituted the
human hand, with its articulated five
fingers, for uncovering and cleaning
artifacts," Jablonski said, explaining
why they make these risky dives for
researchers.
Archaeologists said the rewards are
great despite the risks to the divers.
"The fact that they are diving in
that deep water, it is pushing the limits
of the technology in a way I welcome
very much," said Felipe Castro, a professor of nautical archaeology at Texas
A&M University not with the project.
Mexican governor confirms
3 US siblings found dead
November is Long-Term Care Awareness Month – a month dedicated to
educating the public about the need to prepare for the potentially devastating
costs of long-term care. And the more you know about these expenses, the
better prepared you will be to deal with them.
To begin with, just how expensive is long-term care? Consider this: The
average cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $87,000 per
year, according to the 2014 Cost of Care Survey produced by Genworth, a
financial-services company.
And the average cost of an assisted living facility, which provides a level
of care that is not as extensive as that offered by a nursing home, is $42,000
per year, according to the same Genworth study. All long-term care costs have
risen steadily over the past several years, with no indication that they will level
off.
Many people, when they think about long-term care at all, believe that
Medicare will pay these costs — but that’s just not the case. Typically,
Medicare only covers a small percentage of long-term care expenses, which
means you will have to take responsibility. Of course, if you are fortunate, you
may go through life without ever needing to enter a nursing home or an assisted
living facility, or even needing help from a home health-care aide. But given
the costs involved, can you afford to jeopardize your financial independence
— or, even worse, impose a potential burden on your grown children?
To prevent these events, you will need to create a strategy to pay for longterm care expenses — even if you never incur them. Basically, you have two
options: You could self-insure or you could “transfer the risk” to an insurer.
If you were going to self-insure, you would need to set aside a considerable
sum of money, as indicated by the costs mentioned above. And you would
likely need to invest a reasonably high percentage of this money in growthoriented investments. If you chose this self-insurance route, but you never
really needed a significant amount of long-term care, you could simply use the
bulk of the money for your normal living expenses during retirement and
earmark the remainder for your estate. However, if did need many years of
nursing home care, you could end up going through all your money.
As an alternative, you could transfer the risk of paying for long-term care
to an insurance company. Many plans are available these days, so, to find the
choice that is appropriate for your needs, you will want to consult with a
professional financial advisor. Here’s a word of caution, though: The premiums for this type of protection rise pretty rapidly as you get older, so, if you
are considering adding this coverage, you may be better off by acting sooner,
rather than later.
None of us can know with certainty what the future holds for us. Ideally, you
will always remain in good shape, both mentally and physically, with the
ability to take care of yourself. But, as you’ve heard, it’s best to “hope for the
best, but plan for the worst.” So, take the lessons of Long-Term Care
Awareness Month to heart and start preparing yourself for every scenario.

Key facts about Hawaii lava
Lava that has entered a rural Hawaii town has been described as a
disaster in slow motion. After months
of creeping through uninhabited areas
of the Big Island, it reached Pahoa last
week, crossing a residential street,
burning down
a garden shed
and inching
toward homes
and a main
road that goes
t h r o u g h
downtown.
The lava is
from Kilauea,
which has
been has been actively erupting since
1983 and is one of the world's most
active volcanos. Here are some other
facts about it:
Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory have the tools to monitor
active volcanos to determine if an eruption is imminent and to forecast a lava
flow's path.
But lava is still a natural phenomenon, and much like a hurricane, some
uncertainty remains.But it's looking
like the lava is headed to Pahoa Village Road, which runs through downtown Pahoa.
About 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit,
according to Janet Babb, spokeswoman
for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. "Ten times hotter than boiling
water."
But the
temperature starts
to drop after the lava
is exposed
to air.
" T h e
crust cools
down, and
you can
walk on it after a few days,"
Vanderkluysen said.
"Lava diversion is a very complex
issue," Babb said. "It's a complex legal, political, technical and cultural
issue."
Residents have expressed anger at
suggestions to divert the Kilauea flow,
saying it's culturally insensitive to interfere with the will of Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess.
Attempts were made to stop flows
from Italy's Mount Etna by building
trenches and concrete walls. But that
was only partially successful.
Three U.S. citizens missing for
more than two weeks have been found
shot to death in Mexico near the border city of Matamoros, and authorities
are questioning a local police unit
about possible involvement, the attorney general in northern Tamaulipas
state said last week.
The father of the three, Pedro
Alvarado, identified his children from
photographs of the bodies showing
tattoos, Attorney General Ismael
Quintanilla Acosta reporters. Clothing found with the bodies also matched
that of Erica Alvarado Rivera, 26, and
brothers, Alex, 22, and Jose Angel,
21, who had been visiting their father
in Mexico and disappeared Oct. 13
along with Jose Guadalupe Castaneda
Benitez, Erica Alvarado's 32-year-old
boyfriend.
Each was shot in the head and the
bodies were burned, Quintanilla said,
most likely from lying in the hot sun
for so long.
Parents of the siblings have said
witnesses reported they were seized
by men dressed in police gear identifying themselves as "Hercules," a tactical security unit in the violent border
city heavily racked by cartel infighting. Quintanilla said at a news conference Thursday that nine of the unit's
40 officers are being questioned."We
will apply the full force of the law and
zero tolerance," Gov. Egidio Torre
Cantu said, lamenting the death of the
four, even though their identities had
yet to be confirmed by DNA.
It would the third recent case of
abuse and killing by Mexican authorities if police are involved.
The country already is engulfed in
the case of 43 teachers college students missing in southern Guerrero
state at the hands of a mayor and
police working with a drug cartel.
Fifty-six people are under arrest,
including dozens of police officers.
New-home sales close to flat in September
U.S. sales of new homes were essentially flat in September, after the government sharply revised downward
what was initially an August surge in buying.
New-home sales edged up 0.2 percent last month to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 467,000, the Commerce
Department reported Friday. The report also revised down
the August sales rate to 466,000 from 504,000.
The pace of sales for newly built homes has improved
a mere 1.7 percent so far this year compared to 2013. Only
the South has experienced gains in buying year-to-date,
while purchases have fallen in the Northeast, Midwest and
West.
Housing has struggled to fully rebound since the recession ended more than five years ago. Many potential
buyers lack the savings and strong credit history needed to
afford a home, causing them to rent or remain in their
existing houses instead of upgrading.
Construction and buyers of new homes have trickled
back from the worst of the bust, but new-home sales
remain drastically below the annual rate of 700,000 during
the 1990s.
Sales in the most expensive Western states declined in
September, reversing some of the gains made in August.
Because homes are pricier in the West, that pushed down
the median price for a new home to $259,000 from $286,800
in the prior month.
Some of the financial pressures on homebuyers are
starting to ease, yet it’s unlikely that will boost sales of
new homes in the final months of this year.
Over the past two weeks, federal regulators have unveiled plans to loosen down payment requirements, and
mortgage rates have tumbled below 4 percent. Along with
a slowdown in price growth, these factors could eventually
help usher more buyers into the real estate market.
Average rates for a 30-year mortgage fell to 3.92 percent from 3.97 percent last week, the mortgage company
Freddie Mac reported. That is the lowest level since June
2013 and marks a solid decline from average rates that
began the year at 4.53 percent. When rates fall, it becomes
cheaper for people to borrow and makes homes more
affordable.
But many potential buyers are unable to upgrade to a
new home by selling their current home, as prices still
have yet to exceed mortgage debt for much of the country.
More than 8 million homes are “seriously underwater,”
representing 15 percent of all properties with a mortgage
and roughly $1.4 trillion worth of negative equity, according to the housing data company RealtyTrac. The lasting
damage from the housing bust continues to weigh on the
market, preventing some homeowners from upgrading to
larger houses and limiting the options of buyers.
Builders have yet to meaningfully ramp up construction
of single-family houses.
Almost all of the 6.3 percent growth in housing starts
last month came from apartments and multi-family construction, the Commerce Department reported. Starts for
single-family houses rose just 1.1 percent in September
compared to the prior month.
Increased apartment construction reflects a broader
shift toward renting. Many would-be buyers endured the
loss of their financial savings and potentially their jobs
during the recession. As wages have barely surpassed
inflation during the recovery, a broad swath of Americans
lack the income needed to buy a house.
The troublesome housing landscape has created a paradox: It’s ostensibly cheaper to own for the time-being but
more people are stuck renting, according to an analysis
from the real estate data firm Trulia.
The divers found many important
pieces needed to tell the ship's story,
said Alba Mazza, an Italian archaeologist with the University of Sydney in
Australia. Of note were the ship's anchor and a sacrificial altar with Greek
inscriptions that provide clues to the
ship's origin. The size and shape of the
amphora help them understand what
the ship was carrying.
Experts believe it could have been
a supply ship for Roman legions or
that it belonged to a wealthy merchant, possibly from the Italian region
around Naples, which Mazza described
as "very rich and wealthy, with lots of
nice wine in that area."
Another possibility Mazza and Tusa
are investigating is whether the ship
was a supply vessel in the fleet of
Claudio Marcello, a Roman consul
who conquered Sicilian city of Syracuse in 212 B.C.
GUE divers were paid through corporate contributions to its "Project
Baseline," an endeavor in which divers
and citizen scientists throughout the
world submit data from myriad underwater sites that future researchers can
use to compare and track changes. In
addition to working on the wreck,
Project Baseline divers around the
world are surveying reefs and caves,
including a deep sea cave off France.
In the case of the Panarea III shipwreck, the data collected from the site
can be used by the Italian government
or others in the future.
Much more research is needed before the team can be sure about many
of its early hunches about the Panarea
III, but with help from GUE the crew
plans to return next year to the site for
more dive work.
Jablonski can hardly wait.
"Reaching the dive site was a mystical experience and very much like
reaching through a window in time,"
he said.
Space tourism
rocket
explodes
A Virgin Galactic space tourism
rocket exploded last week after taking
off on a test flight, killing one person
aboard and seriously injuring another
while scattering wreckage in Southern
California’s Mojave Desert, witnesses
and officials said.
The company founded by British billionaire Richard Branson would not say
what happened other that it was working
with authorities to determine the cause
of the “accident.”
“During the test, the vehicle suffered
a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of
SpaceShipTwo,” Virgin Galactic
tweeted.
Ken Brown, a photographer who
witnessed the crash, told reporaters that
SpaceShipTwo exploded after a plane
designed to take it to a higher altitude
released it and the craft ignited its rocket
motor. Brown said the wreckage fell in
the desert north of Mojave Air and Space
Port, where the test flight originated.
The area is about 120 miles north of
downtown Los Angeles.
There is one fatality and one major
injury, California Highway Patrol Officer Jesse Borne said. One person parachuted out, he said.
SpaceShipTwo, which is typically
flown by two pilots, was designed to
provide a suborbital thrill ride into space
before it returns to Earth as a glider.
Last week an unmanned commercial
supply rocket bound for the International Space Station also exploded moments after liftoff from a launch site in
Virginia. No injuries were reported that
accident, which drew criticism over
NASA’s growing reliance on private
U.S. companies in this post-shuttle era.
Virgin Galactic, once it finished developing its rocket ship, was going to
launch space tourism flights from the
quarter-billion-dollar Spaceport America
in southern New Mexico.
Christine Anderson, executive director of the New Mexico Spaceport Authority, did not want to comment on the
events unfolding Friday in the California desert or what effect they might have
on Spaceport America and the future of
commercial space travel.
Virgin Galactic is in line to be the
main tenant at the spaceport that was
built specifically to launch paying customers into space, a dream of Branson.
His company has repeated pushed back
the timetable for when the $250,000
flights were to begin, pointing to delays
in development and testing of the rocket
ship.
Floridians' growing consumer confidence falters
Consumer sentiment among Floridians dropped a point in October to
82, the first decline in the index since
May, according to a monthly University of Florida survey.
“This decline is not likely indicative of a trend,” said Chris McCarty,
director of UF’s Survey Research Center in the Bureau of Economic and
Business Research, which conducts
the survey. “Given that the stock market has improved late in the month and
the decline was only a point, we don’t
view the drop as significant.”
Of the five components used in the
survey -- three declined, one increased,
and one stayed the same. Survey-takers’ overall perception whether their
personal finances are better now than
a year ago fell four points to 71, while
their expectations of being better off
financially one year from now fell one
point to 82.
The survey shows that confidence
in the national economy over the coming year fell one point to 78, but it rose
a point to 82 when respondents were
asked to consider U.S. economic conditions over the next five years.
Finally, respondents’ perception as
to whether it is a good time to buy bigticket item, such as a washing machine, stayed the same at 96.
“We note that the decline in the
sentiment index was mostly among
those in higher income households
who are more likely to have holdings
in the stock market either directly or
indirectly through retirement accounts,” McCarty said. “Responses to
the personal finance questions were
particularly pessimistic for that
group.”
The gloomy outlook for the stock
market is fueled by concerns over declining global markets, expected Federal Reserve interest rate hikes and the
potential economic effects from Ebola,
McCarty said.
Overall, economic indicators for
Florida have been steady. Unemployment for September declined to 6.1
percent, .2 percent higher than U.S.
unemployment of 5.9 percent.
However, an increase in jobs rather
than a decline in the labor force was a
major reason for the drop in the unemployment figure, McCarty noted. Other
data show a fuller employment picture. The unemployment rate for parttime and discouraged workers is the
12th highest in the country at 13.4
percent. In addition, Florida’s hourly
wages and median income are much
lower than the national average.
“We tend to generate lower paying
jobs than we had before the recession,” McCarty said. “Much of this is
due to a decline in construction employment, which peaked at 691,000
jobs in June 2006 and has dropped 40
percent to 414,000 in September.”
Housing in Florida remains strong.
The median price of a single-family
home in September was unchanged at
$180,000, while closed sales were high
compared with previous years. “But
housing gains may slow in 2015 as the
Federal Reserve raises short-term interest rates, which will likely lead to
higher mortgage rates,” McCarty said.
Inflation, meanwhile, remains low
largely because of declines in gasoline prices. Florida’s sales tax revenue, which has exceeded state economists’ expectations, indicates relatively strong sales in 2014. National
retail sales, in contrast, were weak in
September, although strong for much
of the year.
“There are headwinds that may
make it difficult for the index to rise
much next month,” McCarty said. “In
addition to a struggling global market,
we have a gubernatorial election.
Most polls show a very close race,
and as is typical after such elections,
about half of the electorate will not be
happy with the outcome.
This mood often shows up in the
sentiment index for that month, but it
will not last and will not affect holiday
sales which are expected to be better
than last year.”

Jury frees ex-UBS
exec in IRS probe
A federal jury acquitted a former
top Swiss banking executive of U.S.
charges that he conspired with
wealthy Americans to hide $20 billion in secret accounts from the Internal Revenue Service.
Jurors deliberated just over an
hour before returning the not guilty
verdict for Raoul Weil, formerly the
No. 3 executive at UBS AG.
He had faced up to five years in
prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of conspiring to defraud the
U.S. government.
“We’re obviously pleased with
the verdict. This was a case that
should never have been brought,”
s a i d We i l ’s a t t o r n e y, M a t t h e w
Menchel.
Prosecutors declined comment. In
the courtroom, Weil hugged his wife
and lawyers, clenching both fists
when the verdict was announced.
Weil was the highest-ranking
Swiss banker prosecuted under an
IRS and Justice Department crackdown on Americans’ use of offshore
accounts to dodge U.S. taxes.
In 2009, UBS paid a $780 million
U.S. fine and disclosed names of
thousands of American account
holders to the IRS, many of whom
were later prosecuted.
In a closing argument, prosecutor Jason Poole said the case against
Weil was simple:
He did everything he could to
promote and protect a profit-making business that was highly illegal
for U.S. taxpayers.
“It’s a simple story of greed and
making money,” Poole said. “It’s
simple, straightforward, offshore tax
evasion. He was participating in it.
He was involved.”
Weil, 54, did not testify and his
defense attorneys put no witnesses
on the stand.
In his closing argument, Menchel
blamed wrongdoing on lower-ranking UBS bankers acting without
Weil’s knowledge and suggested
many of the government’s ex-UBS
witnesses were unreliable because
they were given immunity from prosecution.
“Who are the criminals here? Who
are the ones that should be punished
instead of getting sweetheart deals?”
Menchel said.
“It had nothing to do with Raoul
Weil or anybody above him.”
Menchel also suggested that it
was the wealthy Americans who
were to blame for evading taxes
because bank secrecy was protected
by Swiss law.
“Whose obligation was it to pay
the taxes? The taxpayer’s,” he said.
The trial centered on events that
took place from 2002 to 2008, when
Weil was UBS global head of wealth
management.
He left UBS in 2009 and had been
chief executive officer at another
Swiss bank, Reuss Private Group,
since 2010.
He was arrested while vacationing in Bologna, Italy in 2013 on a
U.S. fugitive warrant.
In all, prosecutors said about
17,000 U.S. taxpayers concealed
assets from the IRS in the UBS accounts.

Detectives say that just before 3:30
a.m. June 3, Tucker went in to Franco’s
apartment through a sliding glass door.
He armed himself with a knife from
her kitchen. He went into her bedroom
in search of cash and jewelry and noticed her lying asleep under her covers. He took her wallet from her purse,
which was on the floor. As he was
leaving, he accidently stepped on the
purse, and Franco awakened, startling
Tucker. He stabbed her in the chest
and ran from the room. He told detectives he watched from the doorway as
she reached for her cell phone and
called 911. Then Tucker left, throwing
Franco’s wallet into a lake behind the
apartments.
Franco’s 911 call captured her last
moments. She told the call-taker that
someone broke into her house and
beat her. She cried, said “no” once and
then nothing else. Arriving deputies
knew the call came from the
Bridgewater apartments but did not
know Franco’s apartment number.
They went door-to-door and, at 4:11
a.m., found Franco’s open sliding glass
door and discovered her body.
DNA evidence found on Franco’s
comforter led detectives to Tucker,
who was being held in a juvenile justice facility in Fort Myers on an unrelated matter. On Friday, Oct. 31, BSO
detectives searching Tucker’s apartment found a knife with blood on it in
the seventh-floor stairwell of his building. It is undergoing analysis at BSO’s
Crime Lab. Tucker is being held at the
Lee County Sheriff’s Office jail and is
awaiting transfer to Broward County.
FTL cops bust 2
pastors feeding
the homeless
Fort Lauderdale police charged
three men – including two pastors and
a 90-year-old man – for feeding the
homeless in public on Sunday, the
first such cases made after a new ordinance banning public food sharings.
The first to be charged was homeless advocate Arnold Abbott, 90, and
two Christian ministers — Dwayne
Black, pastor of The Sanctuary Church
in Fort Lauderdale, and Mark Sims of
St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church
in Coral Springs.
All three men face up to 60 days in
jail and a $500 fine.
“One of the police officers said,
‘Drop that plate right now,’ as if I were
carrying a weapon,” Abbott, who runs
a nonprofit group called Love Thy
Neighbor, Inc.told reporters. “It’s
man’s inhumanity to man is all it is.”
Back in 1999, the city tried to stop
Abbott from feeding the homeless on
Fort Lauderdale Beach, bringing a lawsuit from Abbott, which he won. Now
he says he will fight the municipal
ordinance charge and be forced to take
the city back to court.
Crews search for
missing diver in
Florida Keys
The United States Coast Guard is
searching for a 32-year-old man who
went missing while diving off the
Florida Keys.
Officials say a 23-foot fishing boat
with two people aboard left Islamorada
at 7 a.m. Saturday and was scheduled
to return that evening.
The Coast Guard was notified of
the overdue boat Saturday night.

A 15-foot-tall shuttle monument
of stainless steel and granite has been
unveiled on Florida’s Space Coast.
The U.S. Space Walk of Fame Museum led efforts to create the $350,000
monument bearing six black granite
panels displaying information on
shuttle missions and ground operations. It’s topped with an 8-ton steel
shuttle emblem.
Florida Today reports dozens of
retired and current space program
workers attended Saturday’s dedication at Space View Park in Titusville.
Fred Gregory, an astronaut who
logged three shuttle missions, said the
monument honors those on the ground
who helped the astronauts reach space.
“Everybody gives us the credit. And
for every launch we had, I think there
were probably 40,000 people around
the world who were going to make
that the safest, most successful mission ever,” Gregory said.
Breasts burned at
Philadelphia
hookah lounge
A woman says her breasts were
burned by hot coals as people danced
around a stripper pole at a Philadelphia hookah lounge.
Katelyn Sobon outlined her allegations in a lawsuit against Trilogy
Nightclub and Hookah Lounge and its
owner, Mohamed El Laisy.
Sobon says she and a friend were
sitting in a booth in May when someone knocked into the rickety table
holding their hookah pipe, sending the
coals hurtling toward her cleavage.
She says she’s suffering severe pain
and humiliation and may need surgery
to correct scars. She’s seeking more
than $50,000 in damages.
The lounge’s owner said Wednesday that his lawyer advised him not to
comment after the Philadelphia Daily
News quoted him as saying Sobon
was “trying to make a quick buck.”
UK man faked
coma for 2 years
to avoid court
He might have got away with it if it
hadn’t been for his supermarket loyalty card.
A British fraudster who pretended
to be quadriplegic and sometimes comatose for two years to avoid prosecution has been convicted after police caught him on camera driving and
strolling around supermarkets.
Alan Knight of Swansea, Wales,
stole more than 40,000 pounds
($64,000) from the bank account of an
elderly neighbor with Alzheimer’s disease, prosecutors said.
When police began investigating,
the 47-year-old Knight claimed to be
quadriplegic and so sick he sometimes
fell into a coma.
He checked himself into a hospital
to avoid court appearances, saying he
was having seizures.
The South Wales Evening Post reported Wednesday that the suspect’s
wife, Helen Knight, had written to the
newspaper saying her husband had
obtained a doctor’s letter certifying he
was “quadriplegic and in a comatose
condition, bed-bound at home” after a
neck injury.
“We’ve been through absolute hell
and we’re still going through hell,”
she wrote, according to the newspaper.
Knight’s deceit was uncovered
when police tracked the use of his
supermarket card, and produced surveillance camera footage of him walking and driving.
Warned that the trial would go ahead
whether he was present or not, Knight
arrived at Swansea Crown Court Tuesday in a wheelchair and neck brace.
Faced with the video evidence, he
pleaded guilty to 19 counts of forgery,
fraud and theft.
His wife has not been charged with
any offense.
Judge Paul Thomas said Knight was
“a very accomplished and determined
actor ... and the conditions he claims
to be suffering from are simply nonexistent.”
“His illnesses coincide with impending court appearances. I do not
believe the symptoms are genuine,”
the judge said.
Knight is due to be sentenced Nov.
7.

groups and social media campaigns
unhappy with President Barack
Obama's and Democrat party leaders
disinterest in protecting the decorated
Marine.
“It is with an overwhelming and
humbling feeling of relief that we confirm that Andrew was released today
after spending 214 days in Mexican
Jail,” the family said in a statement.
U.S. Republican politicians had
held talks with Mexican authorities to
urge his release.
A U.S. congressional committee
also held a public hearing to pressure
Mexico to free him from their brutal
prisons that have become world famous for the sham legal system that
routinely mistreats their own citizens.
U.S. Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he was “elated” by the
news and that his PTSD will be treated
by specialists in the United States. He
had met with Tahmooressi in jail and
talked to Mexico’s Jesus Murillo
Karam about the case.
“As I said after visiting Andrew in
the Mexican jail, he needs to come
home to the United States to be with
his mother Jill and the support network of friends I know to be standing
by to help him. He is a hero who
served his country bravely on the
battlefields of Afghanistan, which is
why so many Americans have been
focused on getting him home,” Royce
said.
Former New Mexico Gov. Bill
Richardson, who grew up in Mexico
and has negotiated on a range of international issues, said he met with
Tahmooressi in jail in the border city
of Tecate, and he had talked to Mexican officials to urge them to release
Tahmooressi on humanitarian grounds
without result. Richardson, a Democrat, failed because world wide national leaders, particulary in third
world hell holes like Mexico, Obama's
weakness has led to a widespread disrespect for America.
“I respect Mexico’s judicial process,” Richardson in a statement.
Mexican authorities, however, had
made clear that they would not be
influenced by politics and that the
matter was in the hands of its courts.
After being jailed in Tijuana,
Tahmooressi’s mother said, he tried to
kill himself by cutting his neck with a
shard from a light bulb in his cell
because the guards and inmates threatened to rape, torture and kill him and
he feared she would be in danger.
He was eventually transferred to
another prison, where a pastor visited
him regularly and the Mexican government tried to claim he was under
medical observation.
Tahmooressi did not admit wrongdoing, and he still maintains his innocence, his attorney said.
His mother, Jill Tahmooressi, has
said her son’s time in a Mexican jail
has been worse than his two tours in
Afghanistan.
Tahmooressi left Florida for San
Diego in January to get help after
dropping out of college, unable to concentrate or sleep, his mother said.
Green dye
released into
glades as test
Neon green dye is being released
into the Everglades to help scientists
refine projects aimed at restoring the
natural flow of water through the wetlands.
Starting Tuesday, officials are substantially increasing the flow of water
from the wetlands north of Everglades
National Park south toward Florida
Bay. They’ll track the dye over the
next three months through several
miles of the Everglades in an area
drained by a system of canals and
levels.
U.S. Geological Survey scientist
Jud Harvey says the tracking experiment will show how increased water
flows will improve wildlife habitat
and protect freshwater supplies.
Officials expect the results of the
large-scale experiment to help them
make decisions about setting targets
for increased water flows and about
whether to plug canals that are no
longer in use.
