Waubonsie Valley High School on Eola Road in Aurora, Illinois was locked down on Wednesday morning after there were reports of a weapon on campus. The search lasted for hours and ended just before 12:30 p.m. One person was taken into custody and a BB gun was confiscated.

News of the lockdown was posted on the school’s website and sent to parents via phone calls and e-mails by Principal Kristine Marchiando. It said, “As a precaution, I have locked down the school this morning while the school administration and the police investigate a potential threat. I want to stress this measure is a safety precaution only and all of our students and staff are safe. We will provide an update as soon as we have more information.”

According to Aurora Police Lt. Paul Nelson, a student told officials that he saw two students with a pistol. Another student reported a scrawled message on a stairwell wall on Tuesday that said, “Bomb 12/10.” It is not known yet whether there is a connection between the pistol and the threat.

After the search ended, the principal wrote the following e-mail to parents: “We owe a great deal of thanks to some very brave students that reported what looked like a hand gun. A complete search was done and we found a look-alike weapon, also known as an air pistol. It was not fired, nor was anyone hurt.”

The students have all returned for their afternoon classes in what is being described as a normal p.m. schedule.

A new cure for jet lag could be on the market in the next few years after trials show a pill can reset the body’s natural sleep rhythms.

Tasimelteon works by shifting the natural ebb and flow of the body’s sleep hormone melatonin.

In trials, published in The Lancet, the drug helped troubled sleepers nod off quicker and stay asleep for longer.

Poor sleep can affect daytime performance

Experts said the drug would be a welcome alternative to addictive sedatives like benzodiazepines.

Commenting on the work, Dr Daniel Cardinali from the University of Buenos Aires said the findings would be welcomed by millions of people – “shift-workers, airline crew, tourists, football teams, and many others.”

Body clock trickery

The hope is that if you have shifted your body clock and you’ve slept well, then you should perform well the next day, said lead researcher Dr Elizabeth Klerman at Brigham and Women’s hospital in Boston.

In trials on 450 people who went to bed five hours earlier than normal to replicate crossing into a different time zone, those who took the drug enjoyed between 30 minutes and nearly two hours more sleep than volunteers who received a dummy pill.

•	TOP TIPS FOR AVOIDING JET LAG • Top up on sleep before you travel • Shift your watch to your destination time zone as soon as you board the plane • Avoid alcohol • Spend plenty of time outdoors in the daylight

Natural melatonin – the darkness hormone which peaks at night – is a popular treatment for patients with body clock-related sleep disorders.

But the researchers say the potency, purity, and safety of melatonin pills is unregulated. Also, there are mixed results about whether they work in shift-workers and people with jet lag.

The US team says more work is now needed to check that their drug, which works on the same receptors in the body as melatonin, actually improves daytime performance and alertness without any carryover sedative effect.

apmex – Precious metals prices continued to fluctuate this week as crude-oil prices tumbled and U.S. equity markets erased gains. With Thanksgiving now over and the Christmas holiday on the horizon, the stock market remains unstable but active.

Here is a brief synopsis of the highs and lows in the market and an overview of our very popular bullion products and numismatics here at www.APMEX.com.

Gold:
Following the Thanksgiving holiday, gold was on the rise for its fourth straight week, ending the month with its biggest monthly gain in nine years. Spot Gold prices opened this week at $ 802.00. The high during the week was on Tuesday November 25th at $835.50, while the lowest point occurred on Monday, November 24th at $786.20. Overall, gold ended the week up at 820.40. Gold Kruggerands were in great demand and short supply.

Silver:
Spot Silver prices opened last week at $ 9.63. Active trading pushed spot silver to a high of $10.68 on Monday, November 24th. The low for silver also occurred on Monday at $9.46. Overall, silver ended the week up, at $10.40. Silver American Eagles were in great demand and our stock of 2008 Silver American Eagles is dwindling fast. With the arrival of the 2009 SAE’s fast approaching, now’s a great time to purchase the 2008 Silver Eagles and take advantage of the low prices.

Platinum:
Spot Platinum prices opened last week at $826.10. Overall, platinum ended the week up at $885.00. Products such as 1 oz Platinum Bars were highly desired. Availability is limited, but we currently have eagles and bars in stock and ready to ship.

Palladium:
Spot Palladium prices opened this week at $185.10. Overall, palladium ended the week up at $195.00. Canadian Palladium Maple Leafs were in great demand and short supply.

Numismatics:
The much-heralded Baltimore coin show lived up to most expectations last week as many dealers reported brisk activity. Numerous astute buyers were using the weakness in the general economy as a rationale for asking dealers to accept lower offers for their coins. That argument fell on deaf ears of many dealers who had quality coins to sell. Early Lincoln cents are in great demand as are pre-1933 US gold coins. All better date Morgan Silver Dollars are in great demand, as are all of the different issues of type coins, especially Bust, Seated and Barber material. But classic commemorative coins (1892 to 1954), both silver and gold types, are fairly quiet with a few scarcer issues being actively sought and the more generic issues remaining relati
