Is there any drama in sports bigger than the one between Major League Baseball and Pete Rose?
The answer to that question depends on how you deοΏ½ ne drama, granted. And a lot of football fans will point to the equanimity amongst division rivals as a good example of drama.
I disagree. Football has
been οΏ½ gured out. Get an offensive line that can protect your quarterback so he can hang in there for a few years and learn the supposed oοΏ½ ensive scheme that is, invari-ably, drive the ball down-οΏ½ eld relying on tried and true methods β mainly penalties and bad calls on third down in your favor β before chucking it up into the corner of the end zone for your tallest wide receiver. οΏ½ at's the NFL in a nut-
shell, and that's why every team seemingly has a shot these days. You pencil in New England for Super Bowl champs, and you give every team with a franchise quarter-back a οΏ½ ghting chance.
And that's all well and good. Boxing is still struggling to find a champion worthy of our attention (Tyson Fury got our attention but for all the wrong reasons, and if you don't know who Fury is ... well, guess he didn't get your attention) and as intriguing as the UFC may be now that Dana White has οΏ½ gured out how to market cham-pions, it may behoove the sport to occasionally showcase οΏ½ ghts that last longer than the lifespan of a mayοΏ½ y.
But baseball, bless the
boys of summer. They know how to keep sports fans riveted. One only needs to take in the spec-tacle that is Pete Rose to understand.
For the uninitiated, Pete was an all-star base-ball player (17 times!) who hit a ball with a stick more times than any player in history. But Pete bet on baseball, and he was kicked out of the game in the past century. For some reason, that means people get to talk about him more than any other baseball player in history. And I'm not sure we really understand why it matters.
Baseball's commis-sioner, Rob Manfred, is a guy most people never heard of until he uttered a few words about Rose a few weeks ago. Rose,
said Manfred, was still banned from the game. Media outlets pounced on the story, saying that his decision meant Rose would be ineligible to appear on the Baseball Hall of Fame's ballot.
"Mr. Rose's public and private comments, in-cluding his initial admis-sion in 2004, provide me with little conοΏ½ dence that he has a mature under-standing of his wrongful conduct, that he has ac-cepted full responsibility for it, or that he under-stands the damage he has caused," Manfred said.
Manfred went on to say that Rose let slip during an interview with his oοΏ½ ce that he still bet on baseball. The guy's nickname was "Charlie Hustle." He can't hustle his way into a dugout.
But hey, the joke is on baseball. Who talks about Hall of Famers? When was the last time, say, Willie Stargell, Frank Robinson or Sandy Koufax popped up in conversation? Rose can't stay out of the news. That's gotta help the value of his signature, I'm guessing.
Either way, whatever baseball thinks it's doing by banning the guy, whatever moral message it thinks it's sending ... maybe it should just help the guy admit he was wrong, get him to agree to stop betting on the game and give each other a big hug. Whatever hap-pened to happy endings?

Quick And Easy Comfort FoodsοΏ½ e holidays are behind us and it's time for New Year's resolutions, which I don't make
anymore. It takes me all of eight hours or less to break every one of them. Frankly, I'm ready for down-to-earth comfort foods while I hibernate for the winter months. It's the perfect time to clean closets, read, plan my summer garden and practice yoga, not necessarily in that order.
In the winter months I love homemade soups simmering on the back burner as well as quick and easy recipes. Below are some of my best loved quick and easy menu ideas. Makes 12 servings.
Simple Lasagna1 lb. ground beef 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley2Β½ cups shredded low-moisture part 1 egg, beaten skim mozzarella cheese, divided 1 (24 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce1 (15 oz.) container part skim 1 cup water ricotta cheese 12 lasagna noodles, uncooked1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
Heat oven to 350Β°F. Brown meat in large skillet on medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix 1ΒΌ cups mozzarella, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan, parsley and egg until well blended; set aside. Drain meat; return to skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Add 1 cup water to empty sauce jar; cover with lid and shake well. Add to meat mixture; stir until well blended. Spread 1 cup meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish; top with layers of 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup meat sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining noodles, meat sauce and cheeses. Cover with greased foil. Bake 1 hour or until heated through, removing foil aοΏ½ er 45 min. Let stand 15 min. before cutting to serve. Makes 12 servings.

Bake 55 min. to 1 hour or until done (160Β°F). Sprinkle with cheese; bake 2 min. or until melted. Makes 8 servings.
Heat oven to 400Β°F. Coat chicken with coating mix as directed on package; place in 13x9-inch pan. Bake 20 min. or until chicken is done (165Β°F). Top with remaining ingredients; bake 5 min. or until mozzarella is melted. Makes 6 servings.

NEWScommunityGenerosity and inspira-
tion overοΏ½ owed at the Rend Lake College Foundation Annual Dinner, held re-cently at the Holiday Inn in Mt. Vernon. With two size-able donations on the books and a rousing speech from the Alumnus of the Year, RLC donors, faculty, staοΏ½ , and guests leοΏ½ with a feeling of optimism and hope.
Leading the way in gen-erosity was the 2014 Alumnus of the Year, Jim Mounier and his wife Carole, who aοΏ½ er a year of closely following the college, decided to give the largest donation the Foundation has ever received. Already totaling a value of seven-οΏ½ gures and growing, the Jim and Carole Mounier Legacy Society was announced by Foundation CEO Shawna Bullard.
Upon receiving special recognition for the Legacy Society, Mounier, a 1972 graduate of RLC, said heβs proud to be able to give back to the place he said changed everything.
Mounier is currently the Senior Vice President at Merrill Lynch in Rockford. A native of Linton, Ind., he relocated to Southern Illinois and completed his senior year at Mt. Vernon Township High School in 1970. At RLC, Mounier focused on a mathematics
degree before transferring to Illinois State University. In his spare time, Mounier maintains several apart-ment buildings and has published a book. Together, Jim and Carole enjoy golοΏ½ ng.
οΏ½ e Mouniers werenβt the only big donors announced during the Annual Dinner. An anonymous donation specifically for the RLC Foundation Childrenβs Center was also announced by board member Rich Yunkus in the amount of $195,000.
οΏ½ ough the donor wishes to remain anonymous right now, Bullard said the chil-drenβs library in the new addition will likely be n a m e d a f t e r h e r . Groundbreaking on the ad-dition is expected to begin in February or March and students will be using the facility by the Fall of 2016.
An emotional Yunkus expressed his disbelief when the donor came to him wishing to make donations to national charities. Upon hearing and studying about the Childrenβs Center addi-tion, the donor then changed her mind and decided to give back to educating young people.
οΏ½ is yearβs donation will be added to last yearβs $100,000 donation from Marjorie Farrar to com-
pletely fund the project, which will be a gross motor room to give students the chance to play indoors and have their own library. Farrar was one of the cata-lysts of the Childrenβs Center and made the lead donation of $100,000 in 1995 to start the process of building.
For his help in securing the anonymous donation, Yunkus was awarded the Presidential Award for being an outstanding board director. οΏ½ e 22-year-veter-an of the Foundation is well known locally for being an All-State basketball player who is the οΏ½ rst, and only, Georgia Tech student to be inducted into their Hall of Fame immediately upon graduating and who still holds the scoring record aοΏ½ er 40 years.
οΏ½ e Annual Dinner also recognized the 2015 Alumnus of the Year, ortho-pedic surgeon Dr. Brian Kern, a native of Southern Illinois who now resides in Paducah, KY. Kern was nominated by RLC Athletic Director Tim Wills, 1996 Alumnus of the Year, who was the basketball coach for Kern when he attended RLC from 1992-94.
Kern brought a sense of fun to the podium by ex-plaining that heβd given the speech to two of his chil-
dren just a couple nights before, and when one fell asleep, he changed up his discourse.
Kern continued to hit key points in his life, both the successes and the setbacks, including his transfer to St. Louis University to play baseball at a Division I school but then inability to get into the physical therapy program. He said it was his RLC chemistry professor, John Fisher, who encour-aged him to consider a career as a physician.
But before he entered medical school, Kern was drafted by the Oakland Athletics organization to play in the Minor Leagues. For two full seasons, Kern said he lived his dream of playing professional base-ball before being released at the beginning of his third season.
He then returned to Southern Illinois to attend S o u t h e r n I l l i n o i s Universityβs School of Medicine and completed his orthopedic surgery resi-dency in SpringοΏ½ eld and a sports medicine fellowship in Los Angeles. Kern and two other physicians banded together to start the Orthopedic Institute of Western Kentucky in 2009, a center that has since grown to 10 physicians and more than 100 employees.
Two other individuals were recognized at the Annual Dinner. Bullard gave a special, posthumous tribute to Howard Payne and Dr. Warren E. Petty for their ser vice to the Foundation.
Payne served on the Foundationβs board for 36 years and passed away in May at 100 years old. He is remembered as one of the founding fathers of the Foundation and as one of the largest donors. Petty, who passed away in April at the age of 80, served for 19 years on the Foundationβs board and was a key indi-vidual in the development of many scholarships.
οΏ½ e Annual Dinner was sponsored by Hamilton County Communications, Inc. and Peoples National Bank. Jim Muir of WQRL in Benton, the 2009 Alumnus of the Year, was the emcee. οΏ½ e invocation was done by Eric Black, RLC Board of Trustees Chairman, and there was a vocal performance by RLC student Olivia Bailey, ac-companied by Caitlin Keele on piano.

This January, during National Blood Donor Month, the American Red Cross encourages people to roll up their sleeves to give blood to help maintain a suοΏ½ cient blood supply for patients.
Since 1970, National Blood Donor Month has been observed in January to not only honor blood and platelet donors, but also to help increase dona-tions during the winter months. Maintaining a suf-ficient blood supply for patients is diοΏ½ cult at this time of year because extreme winter weather and seasonal illnesses oοΏ½ en impact donor turnout.
οΏ½ e Red Cross encour-ages eligible donors to resolve to give blood regu-larly, beginning in January. Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types AB, O, B nega-tive and A negative.
To make an appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Upcoming area blood do-nation opportunities are listed below.

οΏ½ is time of year, now more than ever, there is an ongoing need for foster parents in Southern Illinois, especially for teenagers. What is a foster parent? How can you become one?
On Wednesday, January 6, 2016, the Foster Program at United Methodist Children's Home was available to answer those, and many other questions about foster care at their "Learn More" Open House held at their 201 North 27th Street office in Mt. Vernon. Attendees learned from the UMCH
licensing specialist what it takes to be a foster parent for a teen and heard stories from profes-sional foster parents living in the area. Any couples or individuals who would be interested in learning more about Foster Care and how they can help, please call 618-242-5600 ext. 243.
"Right now, we have youth ages 15 and up, who are waiting for a home and needing to feel a sense of belonging, to be loved. We get three to four referrals every single week, but there aren 't enough foster homes
available," explains Angie Wilson, Foster Care Supervisor.
UMCH Foster Care Program is a highly spe-cialized, therapeutic foster care program for adolescents, and we are looking for persons living within a 45 mile radius of Mt. Vernon. οΏ½ e program provides on-going train-ing and support to the foster parents.
You can make a diοΏ½ er-ence in the life of an ado-lescent that needs your support, guidance, and care! More information can be found on the website at umchome.org.

Young Puppy Just Canβt βHold Itβ
DEAR PAWβS CORNER: We adopted a puppy last month. βJakeβ is having some problems adjusting to his new home. He has soiled his own bed three times so far (we crate him at night) and doesnβt make it through the day β he starts whining by the door around lunch-time and, if weβre not home, will just go anywhere in the house. How can we οΏ½ x this? β Carl B., via email
DEAR CARL: How old is Jake? It sounds like, barring any unknown physical issues or illness, that he is a young puppy with a small bladder. He simply canβt hold it as long as a fully grown dog.
οΏ½ e fact that Jake makes it a point to whine by the door means that the house training is eοΏ½ ective, but you may be waiting much too long to take him out. When he has to go, he will go. οΏ½ at includes soiling his crate, which is an absolute last resort for a dog.
Follow this guideline, published by the American Kennel Club, called the βmonth-plus-oneβ rule: Take your puppyβs age in months, and add one. οΏ½ at gives you a rough estimate of the maximum number of hours Jake should wait before going outside to pee or poop.
For example, if Jake is four months old, add one to that number. οΏ½ e total, οΏ½ ve, means he should be taken outside every five hours. Every puppy is dif-ferent, so Jake may need to go out a little sooner. And yes, that means he may need to go out in the middle of the night, or on a pee pad.
He should always be taken out just before bedtime and οΏ½ rst thing in the morning, regardless of his age.

Twenty-six days until the caucus and everyone's eyes are on Iowa! And it can't come too soon.
Hil lary is cal l ing Trump a sexist and Trump is responding by reminding everyone of Bill Clinton's lifetime of sexual encounters and Hillary condoning them. What a three-ring circus! All while ISIS leaders are pledging to take the West, building concentration camps, and destroying Christianity and anyone who doesn't go along with their butchery!
So stepping back, is Bill Clinton fair game? In my opinion, the answer is yes! Any spouse of a politician is fair game, but kids are totally oοΏ½ limits! I'm cer-tainly not comparing our lives to anyone else's, but as the wife of a former mayor, trust me, I was fair game. It goes along with the territory.
In the new year, Obama has vowed to go after stronger gun control by bypassing Congress. So what's new! He has the power of his pen and phone β and his lawless-ness has demonstrated that. Certainly we are a divided country on this issue.
But I will say an unarmed country is a sitting target. I've been around guns my entire life. οΏ½ e diοΏ½ erence is I had a parent that taught me to respect οΏ½ rearms. οΏ½ e
key words are family and rules!
Criminals will be able to get guns, that's not going to change. A prime example is Chicago. οΏ½ ey have the strictest gun laws in the country according to many media sources, and in 2015 their gun crimes are way up! Guns aren't the problem; the breakdown of the Amer-ican family is the problem.
So what's next? Ban the bomb, knives, cars and whatever can be used as a weapon? One of my favorite sayings is you can't οΏ½ x stupid. You can't οΏ½ x a problem unless you look at the real issue causing the problem.
One of the new laws in the new year in Texas is reinforcing the Second Amendment. It's now legal to openly carry.
The Second Amend-ment guarantees your right to own a οΏ½ rearm. Sixty percent of the American population now believes they need a gun to protect them-selves. Studies show that when there's open carry, there's less crime.
According to Chuck Todd on Meet the Press on Sunday, 49% of Ameri-cans are angry with the federal government under this administra-tion, and 58% are women!
However, I understand that. Single parents (mostly women) have suf-fered severely under Barack Obama.
Next week, new laws in Illinois.
A οΏ½ nal thought: Do we have a decent choice for President in this election? Let us know by going to www.facebook.com/shoppers.weekly.
In closing, in the words of a wise man: "You can not bring about prosper-ity by discouraging thriοΏ½ . You can not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You can not help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You can not further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred .You can not help the poor by destroying the rich. You can not keep out of trouble by spend-ing more than you earn. You can not build char-acter and courage by taking away men's initia-tive and independence. You can not help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
β William J.H. Boetcker
Very powerful words.
Until next week.

Civil War Hymnal
Q: I have a copy of "Army Hymns Written for the First Regiment, New England Cavalry" by Chap-lain Friederich Denison. It is a small, pocket-size book and was originally pub-lished in 1861 in Provi-dence, Rhode Island. I
wonder if it is valuable. β Jonathan, Walla Walla, Washington
A: I found your book referenced in "Warman's Civil War Collectibles: Identification and Price Guide" by John Graf and published by Krause Books. According to Graf, your hymnal is worth about $85.
As with most collectibles, condition is extremely im-portant. If a cover or pages are missing, that value might be less than half.
***Q I have a 78-rpm copy
of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Decca 18429. I have been oοΏ½ ered $25 for it. Keep or sell? β Stan, Midvale, Utah
A: "White Christmas" was οΏ½ rst issued by Decca in October 1942. An esti-mated 100 million copies of the song sold in some 350 versions. Simply put, is remains one of the most popular songs ever. Ironi-cally, it was written by
Irving Berlin while he soaked up the sun poolside at the Biltmore in Phoenix. "White Christmas" was se-lected for the NARAS Hall of Fame.
Keep or sell? Since so many copies were sold, I suggest you sell it. Your recording is probably valued in the $5-$10 range.
***Q: I have inherited a
Flow Blue pitcher, eight-sided and featuring an Ori-ental scene. It is ironstone and is about 5 inches all. Do you have any idea of its value? β Barbara, Casper, Wyoming
A: According to several
collectors I have consulted, Flow Blue pieces are worth less than they were just a few years ago. For example, a Flow Blue platter that might have sold for $450 a decade or two ago now might bring only about $250. With that in mind, I would think your pitcher would be valued in the $95 to $150 range.
***Q: In a thrift shop, I
found a Hallmark Christ-mas ornament, "Portrait of Scarlett." I paid $5 for it, but think it is probably worth much more. β Kathy, Pottsville, Pennsyl-vania
A: Your ornament was issued in 2001 as part of Hallmark's "Gone With the Wind" series. It is worth about $30.

Do you ever wake up and think "Wow, I don't feel as young as I used to?" It's a sentiment shared by people of ever y age group. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if you're 20 or 60 - feeling οΏ½ t and aging well can be a reality with the right mindset and proper exercise and nutrition.
Tavis Piattoly is a sports dietitian, expert nutrition-ist and co-founder of My Sports Dietitian. He lends his expert insight into how people of three diοΏ½ erent age groups can feel οΏ½ t, healthy and happy:
Young adults - up to age 30
Starting a career, getting married, buying a home - these are just a few big life events people in this age category oοΏ½ en experience. It also means less time to focus on οΏ½ tness, and oοΏ½ en an increase in unhealthy eating on the go.
Physical activity: Piattoly suggests young adults do what they enjoy most, fitting it in on a regular basis.
"Any form of physical exercise and exertion is beneοΏ½ cial for the cardiovas-cular system, but adults under 30 usually like sport-ing events," he says. "οΏ½ is is the age where former athletes or very active post-graduates are still looking to play a sport for fun."
Nutrition: "The meta-bolic rate of this age group is declining, so they can't live on fast food for break-fast, lunch and dinner like they did in college," Piattoly says. "It's time to clean up the diet and make smarter choices such as reducing sugar intake and avoiding fast food as much as pos-sible. Prevention should be the focus."
Supplements: Piattoly says a multivitamin, οΏ½ sh oil and probiotic are a must.
Middle age - 30 to 50In this age bracket,
regular checkups with a physician are important to test for common conditions like high blood pressure. οΏ½ e stress of having chil-dren and growing a career can take a toll. Eating out due to lack of time becomes common and can cause weight gain.
Physical activity: Piattoly suggests regular strength training three to οΏ½ ve days per week to prevent the progression of muscle loss that begins around age 35.
"For cardiovascular-re-lated exercises, it is impor-tant to do what you enjoy as you are more likely to stay motivated and consis-tent," he says. "Yoga is rec-ommended for those indi-viduals who are looking to balance stress."
Nutrition: "It's important to eat smaller more fre-quent meals throughout the day, such as every three to four hours, and to make sure a source of lean protein is included at every meal and snack," Piattoly says. "Protein is more thermo-genic than fat and carbo-hydrates, so your body burns more calories when consuming protein."
Supplements: In addition to all the supplements rec-ommended for the young adult group, Piattoly sug-gests vitamin D and tur-meric extract, a great natural anti-inοΏ½ ammatory agent, for 30 to 50-year-olds.
Boomers - 50 plusPeople of this age are
concerned with their health and risk for disease due to family history or lifestyle
factors from their youth. Additionally, progressive loss of muscle mass and weaker bones increases risk for injury.
Physical activity: Piattoly says regular strength train-ing three to οΏ½ ve days per week prevents the progres-sion of muscle loss and maintains good bone strength to prevent falls.
"For cardiovascular-re-lated exercises, it is impor-tant to do what you enjoy as you are more likely to stay motivated and consis-tent," he says. "You can still participate in cardiovascu-lar-related sports like tennis and basketball. For lower-impact sports that are easier on the joints, I like swimming and cycling."
Nutrition: "Since the immune system is not as strong as it once was for this age group, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is key, such as οΏ½ ve to 10 serv-ings per day," Piattoly says. "Protein is also a critical nutrient for the preserva-tion of muscle mass. I usu a l ly re commend making a smoothie or shake at least once a day, which can include protein powder, fruit and some veggies."
Supplements: "For heart and brain health, I'm a big fan of omega-3 οΏ½ sh oil, par-ticularly from Nordic Naturals. οΏ½ ey make tri-glyceride from fish oil, which is the optimal form for absorption," says Piattoly. "Fish oil also sup-ports joint mobility and healthy immunity."
Additionally, a vitamin D supplement for bone health and, potentially, calcium for osteoporosis, and creatine to reduce the risk of age-related muscle decline are all worthwhile considerations. (BPT)

If you want to see whatβs going on inside the human body, you have two choices: Turn the lights on with stron-ger imaging machines, or make the stuοΏ½ you want to see βbrighter.β
A researcher at Southern I l l i n o i s U n i v e r s i t y Carbondale is squarely in the latter camp with his work in the οΏ½ eld of hyperpolariza-tion, which holds great promise for vastly more pow-erful imaging technology. Such techniques could make it possible for doctors to see not only whatβs inside the body, such as bones and organs, but how the physiol-ogy is working at the mo-lecular level.
Boyd Goodson, professor of chemistry and biochem-istry in the College of Science, has worked for years in the hyperpolarization field. Hyperpolarization refers to the many techniques available that will eοΏ½ ectively magnetize nuclei in the bodyβs molecules much more highly than if they are mag-netized by just a powerful magnet, such as in a mag-netic resonance imaging machine, or MRI.
When hyperpolarization is achieved, it effectively βlights upβ the molecules, making them easier to image with currently available imaging technology.
While hyperpolarization techniques exist, scientists and engineers continue working on ways to make them effective in todayβs imaging machines. Overall, the effort seeks to make modern diagnostic imaging technologies, such as mag-netic resonance imaging, much more sensitive.
Goodson has led or been a team member in scores of eοΏ½ orts funded by prestigious scientiοΏ½ c organizations in-cluding the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, among others. His current work is funded by the NIH, NSF and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Working in a lab popu-lated by students and high-tech equipment at the James Neckers Building, Goodson paused to proudly point out a decidedly low-tech con-traption that one of his stu-dents recently put together to efficiently and cheaply manufacture parahydrogen gas, which they use in hyper-polarization technique, while discussing his ongoing re-search.
βMuch of my work all kind of falls under molecular imaging, a phrase that makes it sound like youβre imaging molecules,β he said. βBut to a doctor in the medical οΏ½ eld, it means getting images from
otherwise conventional ra-diology with information on the molecular level.
βFor example, the imaging machine would be able to see if a certain protein was at a higher level in a certain tissue. Or it would be able to see if a particular metabolite was broken down one way versus another in this region of the tissue or that. Or how a different compound is breaking down. You can see chemistry happening.β
To understand further where Goodsonβs work οΏ½ ts into the current state of imaging science, one must become familiar with the standard technologies used now.
For instance, most people are familiar with the MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging machines. An MRI will show doctors pictures of anatomy inside the body, such as bones and organs and other structures. Some MRI ma-chines can also perform lo-calized spectroscopy β that is, analysis of the chemicals and molecules that are present in certain tissues. To do this, the machine uses another technology known as nuclear magnetic reso-nance, or NMR.
Another technology, and the one that currently comes closest to what Goodson and others are trying to achieve, is the PET scan. Short for βpositron emission tomog-raphy,β patients undergoing a PET scan ingest or are in-jected with a modiοΏ½ ed sugar with a radioactive atom at-tached to it. οΏ½ e atom emits a positron as it decays. οΏ½ e positron then reacts with an electron in the body β its antiparticle β sending out gamma rays in opposite di-rections when it does so and creating a signal that the machine can read.
βThe idea is that youβll have diοΏ½ erential uptake of that compound in cancerous tissue versus non-cancerous tissue because cancer cells are βhungrier,β and the me-tabolism is different,β Goodson said. Pairing PET technology with X-ray com-puted tomography or com-puterized axial tomography scans β CT or CAT scans β can show the actual loca-tion of such signals relative to the personβs body.
οΏ½ ose technologies, alone or used together, can tell doctors much about a per-sonβs condition. But to achieve what those working in hyperpolarization are aοΏ½ er, itβs not good enough.
βIt comes down to sensi-tivity, thatβs the biggest issue. Detection sensitivity,β Goodson said.
Goodson explained that the body mostly is made up
of molecules that contain multiple hydrogen atoms β essentially water and fats. For MRI, the signals that make images come from the rela-tively weak magnetism of the atomic nuclei.
βWe are all made of atoms and the nuclei of those atoms all have magnetic properties we can exploit, but theyβre very weak,β Goodson said. βHydrogen nuclei are found in high concentrations in the body, which is the reason those machines can make such beautiful images. But if you want to image a gas in the lungs or a metabolite, and you want to image how itβs breaking down chemically from one form to another and how fast itβs doing that, and then compare it to dif-ferent regions of the body, youβre going to need four to five orders of magnitude more detection sensitivity than what we currently have. οΏ½ atβs hard to do, and thatβs where hyperpolarization comes in.β
In successful hyperpolar-ization, for example, an MRI might be able to see organ function or study metabo-lism, including pathological metabolism. And unlike PET scan technology, doctors could do it without exposing patients to ionizing radia-tion, so that scans could safely be repeated more oοΏ½ en. οΏ½ eoretically, health care workers could tune the polarization to look for spe-ciοΏ½ c pathologies with higher spatial resolution.
Doctors possibly use such an approach to more quickly investigate how a patient is responding to a given treat-ment. Another advantage is because the hyperpolariza-tion does not come from the magnet itself, the bulky, ex-pensive and conοΏ½ ning large magnets used in MRI would not be necessary. οΏ½ is could lead to imaging that is cheaper, faster and easier for patients.
Goodson and his students are investigating ways to hy-perpolarize diοΏ½ erent nuclei by exploiting their natural βspinβ characteristics. οΏ½ e term βspinβ derives its name from a magnetic property that the subatomic particles have, which in many ways resembles the behavior of a classically spinning object. οΏ½ e tiny particles typically possess this spin property in one of two directions, which scientists sometimes term "spin up" or "spin down."
Goodson said the spin makes the nuclei of certain atoms, including hydrogen, Carbon 13, Nitrogen 15 and Xenon 129 among others, act like tiny compasses or bar magnets when placed in a magnetic οΏ½ eld, with the spins
aligning either βupβ with the magnet or βdownβ against it.
Goodson and his students are experimenting with dif-ferent techniques β using high-powered lasers and chemically based βspin trans-ferβ phenomena involving parahydrogen β to hyper-polarize them, which essen-tially greatly magniοΏ½ es this characteristic.
βοΏ½ e problem is detecting any one spin is virtually im-
possible, so you need to detect them in bulk for an added-up response so that there is enough signal,β he said.
Even in a very strong magnet, the numbers of βupβ and βdownβ spins are nearly equal, so the bulk magnetic response is the nuclear spins almost perfectly cancel each other out. οΏ½ is means the βnormalβ signal in an MRI comes from the tiny residual
magnetization of whatβs leοΏ½ over.
βSo what hyperpolariza-tion does is say, βIβm going to change that math. Iβm going to take a bunch of those nuclear spins and arrange them to point up rather than pointing down, which should give us the sensitivity to give us the contrast we want.ββ
βItβs all about lighting it up,β he said.

Charles Dickens was one of the greatest writers of English litera-ture. I love the title of his book βGreat Expecta-tions.β Do you have great expectations for the coming year? So many people have lost their hope. οΏ½ e apostle Peter tells us how to come into great expecta-tions.
First β YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. οΏ½ is is not some corny phrase. Listen to Peter, βAll praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with GREAT EXPEC-TATIONS and have a priceless inheritance that is kept in heaven for you β pure and unde-filed β beyond the reach of change and decayβ (I Peter 1:3-5 NLT).
Where did Peter learn about being born again? He learned it from Jesus. Nicodemus came to Jesus at night, in secret. He was a seeker of truth. Jesus told him, βUnless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of Godβ (John 3:3-16).
Jesus was speaking of having a spiritual birth from above. Peter tells us that it is by Godβs great mercy that we are born again. We did not choose Him, He chose us. βAs a result you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christβ (I Peter 1:1-2 NLT). When you are born again into Godβs family, you no longer expect the wrath and judgment of God for your sin, but Godβs grace and goodness. You have an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you. What great expec-tations! What good news!
Second β YOU MUST BE HOLY. Most New Yearβs resolutions and vows are soon for-gotten. When one is born again the Spirit of God makes you holy, set apart for God. (I Peter 1:2) βBut now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holyβ (I
Peter 1:13-17). Great expectations of joy and growth in maturity and Christ-likeness will οΏ½ ll your life as you deter-mine to live a life that pleases God. (I Peter 2:1-2; 4:1-5) Itβs the blood of Christ that makes us holy. (I Peter 1:2)
οΏ½ ird β YOU MUST BE TRANSFORMED. Great expectations will arise when your mind and soul is changed by the power of the eternal Word of God. (I Peter 2:2-3; Romans 12:1-2) Can people change? Ab-solutely! Godβs living Word is a powerful change agent. God promises prosperity and success to those who will meditate day and night on Godβs Word and observe to practice it. (Joshua 1:1-9) I came across this quote of Kenny Rogers on Face-book, βοΏ½ e 3 Cβs in life β CHOICE, CHANCE, CHANGE. You must make the CHOICE to take a CHANCE if you want anything in life to CHANGE.β This New Year make the CHOICE to take the CHANCE for God to CHANGE and transform your life.
Four th β YOU MUST BECOME A WORSHIPPER OF
GOD. Believers become holy priests who oοΏ½ er up spiritual sacrifices of worship that please God. (I Peter 2:4-10) Worshippers can expect God to open heaven and οΏ½ ll them with His glory and light. He will protect and guide you as you live in His presence. Expect great intimacy with God this New Year.
FiοΏ½ h β YOU MUST BE BUSY FOR GOD. When you are busy with whatβs on Godβs heart you can expect Godβs reward and blessing. βYou wonβt spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires but you will be anxious to do the will of Godβ (I Peter 4:2). Jesus said, βOccupy until I comeβ (Luke 19:13). When you invest in Godβs kingdom you can expect a great reward at Christβs return. Peter warns us to live in expectancy of the Lordβs soon return to this earth. (II Peter 3)
I hope you will live this New Year with great expectations of good. Have you been born again? Do it today!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A hectic period begins to wind down. Take time to draw some deep breaths and relax before getting into your next project. A long-ab-sent family member makes contact.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Youβre eager to move forward with a new challenge that suddenly dropped in your lap. But youβd be wise to take this one step at a time to allow new developments to come through.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Youβre almost ready to make a com-mitment. A lingering doubt or two, however, should be resolved be-fore you move ahead. An associate could provide important answers.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still the watchword as you move closer toward a decision about a new situation. If you act too fast, you might miss some vital warning signs. Go slowly and stay alert.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your new goal looks promising, and your golden touch does much to enhance its prospects for success. In your private life, Cupid does his best to make your new relationship special.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) οΏ½ at impatient side of yours is looking to goad you into moving before youβre ready to take that big step. Stay calm and cool. Let things fall into place before you act.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A legal matter you hoped could
οΏ½ nally be settled could be a pesky problem for a while, until all the parties agree to stop disagreeing with each other. Be patient.SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-ber 21) Partnerships -- personal or professional -- which began before the new year take on new impor-tance. οΏ½ ey also reveal some previ-ously hidden risks. So be warned.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your associates are οΏ½ rmly on your side, and that persis-tent problem that has caused you to delay some activities should soon be resolved to your satisfaction.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Favorable changes con-tinue to dominate, and you should be responding positively as they emerge. Someone wants to become more involved in what youβre do-ing.AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A friend wants to share a secret that could answer some questions youβve wondered about for a long time. Meanwhile, travel aspects continue to be strong.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay on your new course despite so-called well-meaning eοΏ½ orts to discourage you. Rely on your deep sense of self-awareness to guide you to do whatβs right for you. YOU BORN THIS WEEK: You have the capacity to meet chal-lenges that others might οΏ½ nd overwhelming, and turn them into successful ventures.

β’ According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently more than 1,500 American resi-dents named "Seven."
β’ The Taj Mahal, widely known as "the jewel of Muslim art in India," was commis-sioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who wanted the tomb of his favorite wife to be housed in splendor. AοΏ½ er construction was complete, Jahan wanted to ensure that this archi-tectural wonder would never have a rival, so he had the chief architect and main artisans put to death. οΏ½ e stone masons who had done the best work on the structure
had their hands ampu-tated, and the artists re-sponsible for the delicate inlay work were blinded.
β’ In some parts of co-lonial America it was illegal to kiss your spouse in public.

οΏ½ ought for the Day: "οΏ½ e moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine οΏ½ oods of light and life no longer flow into our souls."β Elizabeth Cady Stanton
