   Extractions: ALAN G. SHEPARD, M.D. Botulinum toxin or "Botox" is a potent neuromuscular paralyzing agent that has emerged as an effective therapeutic agent for treating patients with muscle spasms. These conditions may include hemifacial spasm, headache, torticollis, painful spasticity that may result from a stroke, multiple sclerosis, tumor, and some forms of dystonia. Administration of Botox is performed in the office as an outpatient procedure and may take anywhere from five to thirty minutes. Side effects are rare and usually reversible. The procedure is covered by medicare and most other insurances. Further discussion of these problems is available to anybody who feels they may have one of the above conditions. Multiple sclerosis is a disorder that commonly affects people between the ages of twenty and forty years of life. There are different forms of this condition. The symptoms may range from very mild to quite severe. This condition may be difficult to diagnose and frequently the history, clinical examination, and laboratory studies are required to be confident that a person has this illness. Dr. Shepard has significant experience in diagnosing and treating multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating conditions. He is currently prescribing Avonex, 4-Amino Pyridine, Beta-Interferon, and other treatments for multiple sclerosis. Please contact Dr. Shepard if you have further questions about this conditions.

   Extractions: ALAN SHEPARD Astronaut A former Navy test pilot, Shepard was one of the original seven astronauts chosen by NASA for its Mercury program. He became the first American in space on 5 May 1961, when he went aloft in the Freedom 7 capsule for a 15-minute sub-orbital flight. ( John Glenn later became the first American to circle the entire globe in space; earlier Ham the Chimp had been the first American primate in space.) The flight made Shepard a national hero. He was disqualified from early moon missions due to an inner ear disorder, but he persisted and was given command of Apollo 14. In 1971 Shepard and fellow astronaut Edgar Mitchell landed on the moon, becoming the fifth and sixth men to walk there. While on the moon, Shepard playfully pulled out a golf ball and whacked it across the lunar surface. He retired from the space program in 1974, also retiring from the Navy with the rank of rear admiral.

   Extractions: Alan Shepard Wow! Alan Shepard was one of seven men chosen from over 500 candidates to be a member of the first group of astronauts in 1959. Alan Shepard was born in 1923 in New Hampshire. He attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland where he graduated in 1944. Shepard served on a destroyer during World War II and was a Navy test pilot at the time he was selected to join the Astronaut Corps. He became the first American to enter space on May 5,1961. Though Shepard spent only 5 minutes in actual space aboard Freedom 7 , he laid the groundwork for the United States to become the great innovator in space exploration we know today. Alan Shepard was grounded from 1963 to 1969 due to an inner ear ailment. After treatment, he was able to return to the corps of active astronauts and became the fifth man to walk on the Moon in 1971. While on the Moon Shepard played golf with a club he had carried onboard the lunar spacecraft of Apollo 14 . Following his Moon adventure, he became an admiral in the United States Navy, the first astronaut to ever achieve such a rank. In 1974, Shepard retired from the astronaut corps and the Navy. After retirement, he successfully entered the business world guided by the same dedication with which he approached his space career. Alan Bartlett Shepard, Jr. died in California on July 22, 1998. Alan Shepard was truly a space pioneer who had "all the right stuff". What prepared him to be America's first man in space?

   Extractions: Capitalist Man on the Moon's Back Nine Alan Shepard in June, 1961 became the first American to fly in space and in that cold-war permeated year, he represented the best that capitalism could produce. A few weeks before Shepard's flight, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gargarin had been the first man ever to orbit Planet Earth. Gargarin's flight was far longer, his rocket bigger. But NASA spun Shepard's flight as a clash of ideologies: what mattered was that the capitalist astronaut could and did make limited decisions about his capsule's maneuvers while the communist cosmonaut was a passive passenger whose path was decided by a committee. Of such minutia were the rhetorical stakes of the arms race composed: we, free men; they, automata. Gargarin's orbit in April, 1961 humiliated the US defense establishment as surely as Russia's pioneering satellite Sputnik had four years earlier. The US had felt pressured to step up its timetable - Shepard's initial flight in the Mercury Freedom VII was to have taken place months later. Even so Shepard's suborbital effort clearly didn't match the Russians. JFK, three weeks after Shepard had safely splashed down, promised to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. They own Siberia; We will own the Moon. Shepard was among the best of the US test pilots, and he was a steady and impressive personality. "I want to be first because I want to be first," he said before he flew. And they said the Russians were automata.

    Extractions: A few years ago, I took my son to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. I was hoping to ignite in him some of the awe and wonder I had felt as a child, growing up in the space age. He had seen Apollo 13 , and was excited to sit in the capsule once graced by Tom Hanks. But other than that, the rest of the trip didn't do much for him. He'd seen bigger rockets in Star Wars But for me, the day brought back the amazement I felt at his age, sitting bleary-eyed in front of the TV as a man walked on the moon. When our tour paused at the Redstone rocket testing site, our guide described how Alan Shepard and the other Mercury astronauts watched the tests from inside a tipped-over railroad car. Seems there wasn't enough money to build a proper observation area, since the rockets kept blowing up. Alan Shepard watched those firecrackers explode, and he still strapped his skinny body into one and became the first American in space. Ten years later, at the age of 48, he did it again, becoming one of only a dozen men to walk on the moon. "Hero" is defined as a person of great strength, courage and daring. America has never shined brighter than when it went to the stars. Thank you, Alan Shepard hero, for starting our journey.

    Extractions: Alan Shepard Astronaut Commander Alan Shepard was born on November 18, 1923, in East Derry, New Hampshire. His father was a career Army officer who had attended West Point. The son, however, preferred the US Naval Academy, where he studied before serving in World War II. Post-war, Shepard attended the US Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, and worked as an instructor there from 1951 to 1953. Eventually he joined NASA, working on the Mercury and Apollo Missions. On May 5, 1961, aboard the Freedom 7, Shepard became the first American in space. He took a 15.5 minute flight, which reached an altitude of 116 miles before the spacecraft landed in the Atlantic Ocean. Ten years later, as commander of Apollo 14, he spent two days on the lunar surface, the only Mercury astronaut to visit the moon.

    Extractions: Web posted at: 12:12 p.m. EDT (1212 GMT) (CNN) Alan Bartlett Shepard Jr. , America's first man in space, the fifth to walk on the moon and considered by some to be the epitome of the original American astronauts, has died at age 74, NASA said Wednesday. He had suffered from leukemia. Shepard died at Community Hospital near Monterey, California , said Howard Benedict, executive director of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation in Titusville, Florida, who had talked to Shepard's wife. After his historic space flight in 1961, amid a period of Cold War hate and uncertainty, Shepard re-invigorated the American psyche with his portrayal of the unflappable, can-do techno-warrior.
