Murder Planned in St. Michaels Maryland, November 4 and 5, 2005
St. Michaels, located on Maryland’s beautiful Eastern Shore is normally a safe destination for travelers from around the world wanting to visit the Chesapeake Bay. Usually a visitor to St. Michaels will enjoy spending time at The Maritime Museum, finding out why St. Michaels is the Town That Fooled the British”, sailing on a SkipJack or Catamaran, dining at one of the many fine St. Michaels restaurants and shopping at the wonderful boutiques lining Talbot Street.
This November though, there are nefarious plans afoot at The Old Brick Inn http://www.oldbrickinn.com. Innkeepers John and Sallie Cwik are helping to plan a murder at the luxurious The Old Brick Inn. It seems very surprising that these two experienced and talented Bed and Breakfast hosts would even be contemplating such a scheme, but, sadly, they are!
Journalists’ & Financial Analysts’ Groups File Amicus Briefs On Behalf Of Gradient, Urge Court To Dismiss Overstock Lawsuit
Two nonprofit organizations representing journalists and financial analysts have filed amicus briefs in support of Gradient Analytics, Inc., urging the court to dismiss Overstock.com’s lawsuit (#A11397, California District Court of Appeals) against the company. Both briefs argue that the First Amendment protects the “serious tone and content” of Gradient’s analysis and that allowing the lawsuit to proceed will harm the rights of the investing public, journalists and other financial analysts.
The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the Chartered Financial Analysts Institute filed the briefs recently on behalf of Gradient’s appeal of its motion to dismiss in the California District Court of Appeal, which accepted the briefs yesterday. The Marin County Superior Court ruled against the motion to dismiss this past March.

MediSend International Receives the CIO 100 Award for Excellence and Achievement in IT
Every year CIO Magazine identifies and honors 100 organizations that have distinguished themselves by creating business value through the effective and innovative use of IT. The process for choosing the CIO 100 honorees is systematic and very competitive. A CIO 100 award is an acknowledged mark of enterprise excellence. In a 2003 survey by PR Week magazine, CEOs named the CIO 100 among the top 10 most influential corporate scorecards anywhere, compiled by any publication or organization.
This year, Dallas-based non-profit MediSend International has been awarded the coveted prize for MediSend’s innovations in the use of IT in supply chain and donor asset management. To be considered for the 19th annual CIO 100 Awards, organizations were required to fill out an online application form. A team of CIO editors and writers then reviewed the applications and debated their merits, then voted on the final 100.
Nick Hallack, President and CEO of MediSend, and Jeff Douglas, MediSend’s CIO will accept the award at the CIO 100 Symposium and Awards Ceremony in August at the Hotel del Coronado in Coronado, California.
MediSend International is a non-profit organization that addresses the needs of areas that otherwise might be left without medical resources. With the help of strategic partners such as manufacturers, distributors and hospital systems that donate surplus medical supplies and equipment, desperately needed in developing countries, MediSend provides shipments of medical aid to pre-qualified public and charitable institutions in the developing countries. Often, in these areas, doctors and medical practitioners are desperate for the likes of even the simplest items such as surgical gloves or sterile syringes.
MediSend’s innovative approach to providing the availability of medical equipment and supplies to those in need, as well as their system of fulfillment, has garnered much attention. MediSend has developed business process management applications such as Mediwerks, MediAid, and the Donor Asset Management System (DAMS) that allow MediSend to manage the entire supply chain of donating supplies and equipment, as well as ordering delivering and tracking medical aid to hospitals and organizations in developing countries.
Most of the recipients of the CIO 100 are not non-profits — rather companies such as Dell, FedEx, General Motors and UPS. Non-profits sharing the stage with MediSend include Lance Armstrong Foundation and The University of Texas M.D.Anderson Cancer Center. The winning of the CIO 100 Award simply states that MediSend’s excellence in IT is one more way that they fulfill their mission of Sending Hope and Saving Lives.

Dr. David Minkoff Finds Protein Myths Linked to Americas Obesity
Why aren’t people getting the protein they need from their diet? Dr. Minkoff says that as individuals enter middle age, they lose about half of the hydrochloric acid in their stomachs. This hydrochloric acid is necessary to activate the digestive enzymes, such as pepsin, that initiate protein breakdown. “If you can’t digest the protein you eat,” says Dr. Minkoff, “it doesn’t matter how much protein you’re eating – your body won’t absorb it.”
“Atkins type dieters overload their body with protein and high levels of nitrogen waste products. But many of these people don’t adequately digest the protein, and if so, they may be deficient too,” says Dr. Minkoff.
