Researchers at Northwestern University say they have discovered a common cause behind amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, that could open the door to an effective treatment.
"This is the first time we could connect (ALS) to a clear-cut biomedical mechanism," said Dr. Teepu Siddique.
ALS afflicts about 30,000 Americans. There is no known treatment.

About halfway between the little town of Mancos and Mesa Verde National Park, we passed this old, abandoned gas station. A printed banner reading "Explosive Petroleum Spill, TOXIC SITE" had been placed on the old gas station sign long enough ago that it was falling off, and spray painted warnings were scrawled on all the walls. "Leaking Underground Tank." "State Chemical Landfill." "EPA Oil Gas FUP." (I can only assume that "FUP" is meant be an acronym for some version of "screw up."
We stopped on the way out of Mesa Verde, and I walked over to the fence and saw that it had further warnings in printed lettering: "Dept. of oil public safety chemical spill area. 26 oil gas wells. Saturation 30 ft. deep. Tests 400x EPA allowed stds. Xylene. Toluene. BTEX. Dermal. Vapor. Explosive. All 3 parcels toxic." A small retention pond off to the right was lined with oil drums painted with skull-and-crossbones symbols. An outbuilding next to the pond had a sign that read "Got cancer yet?" Somebody was grinding an axe.
And so, I went home and looked this up, and here's the story. For about 50 years, this was Wild Wild Rest, a Sinclair gas station and general store that also operated an RV park and hosted an annual motorcycle race. The gas station was operated by a fuel supplier based in Cortez called Fraley & Company on land owned by a guy named Ray McCarty. But nothing lasts forever, and the Sinclair closed in 2004. In 2006, Fraley & Company came along to remove their big fuel tanks, as required by law, and that's when all hell broke loose.
It seems that according to McCarty, the land owner, at some point during the fuel tank removal process, somebody left a valve open, and an undetermined amount of leftover gasoline spilled into the ground somewhere. McCarty claims this was "thousands of gallons," and maybe it was. And so Fraley & Company came back to the property and drilled a bunch of wells to find the spilled fuel and test the level of contamination. Which, really, is what you do in this situation, as required by state and federal law. Fraley & Company then came up with a mitigation plan that involved soil removal and land contour replacement and a bunch of other stuff.
But somewhere in here, McCarty got ticked off. The problem, he said, was that Fraley & Company trespassed on his land when they drilled the test wells, and they drilled the wells too deep and pierced the shale overlying what he described as an "artesian aquifer." This allowed the fuel to seep down into this aquifer and contaminate the ground water. So in 2012, he sued Fraley and the drilling company Fraley had hired for $1.7 million. The jury determined the drilling company had, in fact, trespassed, but they only awarded McCarty $1 in damages, and that was that.
The issue, as far as I can determine from news reports, seems to be that there's some question as to whether there was actually a fuel spill here, and whether the land is actually contaminated. Also, the drilling company claims their wells only went down 30 feet, well above the level of ground water, and state geologists suggest the whole "artesian aquifer" thing is made up anyway. And all this is stuff you could test pretty easily, except ever since McCarty won his dollar in court, he's refused to let anybody on the land to do anything. Fraley & Company and the State of Colorado have devised a plan to clean up whatever's there, which will cost about $200,000 paid for by the state, but McCarty won't let them onto his land to do it.
Which, you know, seems pretty sketchy to me. It seems like if the state has a plan to clean up your contaminated land and will pay for it, you'd want them to do it. I therefore have suspicions. My guess is that the actual spill was small, but that McCarty was hoping to turn it into a big payout. When he didn't get it, he blocked access to his land to keep people from figuring out he was trying to pull a fast one.

Michigan's economy is in shambles. Wait I have a GREAT idea! Let's shut down the main highway through the state, the one that goes all the way to the tip of Florida, and at the same time clutter up the traffic coming into the US by messing up the bridge exit from Canada. That'll screw em up for 3 years or more! Brilliant!
Our Governor is a sharp one I tell ya. Sharp as a bowling ball.
