| Woman beats the odds
Six months later, in February 2007, Bill noticed something interesting. Becky had stopped drooling, which meant she was swallowing. He began crushing Popsicles and feeding her. He wanted to keep stimulating her, he said. In April, he got caught, but the doctor saw that what Bill was doing was working and allowed him to continue. Bill visited Becky before and after work every day after she left Arrowhead. He said he's grateful his employer, Yamaha of Cucamonga, has been so flexible during Becky's recovery. In October, Becky went home, but Stearns and Bill take her to Casa Colina three times a week for therapy. Now Becky can count on her fingers and is starting to talk and walk again in therapy. In the near future, Bill said he wants Becky to be able to use a walker.

Dublin police to ride three-wheeled scooter
DUBLIN Police will soon be patrolling the city's busiest shopping center on a three-wheeled, clean-energy scooter. The T3 scooter, which has a top speed of 25 mph, looks like a beefier version of a Segway. It runs on batteries that need recharging every 30 miles. The police department now uses patrol cars and bicycles to navigate the shopping center on Hacienda Drive and Dublin Boulevard. The scooter, which was donated by center businesses, will give officers a good option, said Dublin police Lt. Glenn Moon. Patrol cars have more visibility, a good deterrent to bad behavior, but they are harder to use in crowded areas, Moon said, while bikes can be used when officers don't necessarily want to be seen. The motorized scooter is the best of both worlds, he said. "It has the (visible) deterrent of a patrol car, but somewhat of the stealth" of a bike, Moon said.

Whether it's because the meds aren't effective on them or some other factor, the research can't determine. The conclusion is, there is no conclusion. It's true that, throughout their lives, women are more predisposed to depression and are more likely to reveal it. Depressed men, on the other hand, tend to suffer in silence – and have a greater tendency to commit suicide. But older women are more vulnerable. They live longer than men and therefore are more prone to age-related physical problems. They are more likely to be widowed, have fewer resources, live in fear of everything from falling to purse-snatching, tend not to get as good medical attention as do men, and, in general, feel invisible in a society that shows no respect, not only for the aged, but aged women in particular.

JR East to test electricity generation by train riders
I thought JR was long over this waste of money years ago. If I remember correctly it was for a competition on eco and a little girl drew up this contraption to make human guinea pigs. It used to be something like 1 million people can make a light bulb light up for a few minutes so I guess it is getting a little more efficient. One could imagine the entire station rigged up, but after people start tripping and falling over the unstable and hard to maintenance floor the cost of medical bills will exceed any profit made. .
