It was the peak of American 1960s playground culture.
The Eugene, Ore., playground had an ex-USAF F-89 interceptor, carrier of nukes and the epitome of Cold War aviation technology. Its nose cone used to contain radar equipment, but on this day, 41 years ago, it contained me. I was a sweltering seven-year-old expatriate Canadian stuffed into an aluminum prison by 10-year-old girls. What had I done?
I was guilty of hogging the cockpit. Even in a playground, culture matters.
Forty years later, the only nuclear in my life was my family. However, the subject of culture was inescapable. It was, my wife Susan decreed, time to expand our teenage sons' cultural horizons. What better way to undertake a cultural pilgrimage than to take them on a cycling tour of the Pyrenees, and then on to the cradles of western culture, Paris, Rome and London?
However, teenage boys are famously resistant to cultural voyages. Parental anxiety had dissipated after several days of cycling in the Pyrenees, but the City of Lights has an imposing reputation for punishing the uncouth. En route, I summoned my inner General Patton and addressed the troops: "In Singapore, they cane you, in Paris, they snub you. Speak French. Mind your manners."
Our first test occurred during the cab ride from Orly airport to our lodgings at the Citadines Opera Grande Boulevard Aparthotel. Our cabbie, Mr. Remi, was a living Parisian archetype: corduroy jacket, reeking of acrid dark tobacco, pointing out palaces of culture, but reserved towards les Americains. Eventually his diffidence is eroded by my Canadian-accented French. I proffer a tip, but it's waved away.
Even without tipping, central Paris exacts a financial toll. Our clean and modern suite at the Citadines Aparthotel costs $550 a night. It's dear, but the room has a kitchen, access to laundry and a games room.
The cultural indoctrination begins with a walk to the Musee de L'Orangerie, located in the Jardin des Tuileries. Walking depletes a teen's otherwise inexhaustible fountain of energy, a fount that, unchecked, might be put to unproductive ends.
A half-hour later, under a milky late-summer sky, our Paris Museum Pass allows us to bypass the line. This museum is an easy challenge. Its 19th-century impressionists are recognizable and fascinating. It's eerie to see Monets at your nose, and to discern the brush strokes and the errors: after all, these guys had to make a living, and were prolific.
Upstairs are the large oval rooms, serene spaces for viewing Monet's Les Nympheas. On their own, these murals of water lilies are miraculous. It's a wonder how Monet, with his eyes clouded by cataracts, could work the floor-to-ceiling canvas, a stroke here, a swipe there, and predict how a healthy eye would assemble the smudges from five metres away.
The paintings were dedicated in 1927 by Monet's friend, French ex-prime minister and war leader Clemenceau, to post-First World War peace. Like so much of Paris, the display represents the Old World coming to grips with the new era's dual potentialities: beauty or destruction, accessible to all.
Less profound is the next stop, the Eiffel Tower. Girls in sparse tops pout and guys in capri pants haul on cigarettes. It's not the sublime culture of the L'Orangerie, but the views from the top are tremendous.
For dinner, the Citadines staff recommend the nearby La Taverne Brasserie. It does not disappoint, and the boys devour shish kebab, entrecote, fries, and salads. The room features gold trim, rich red walls, oak fixtures, and overlooks the antic street life on the Boulevard des Italiens. The meal for five is not expensive (by Parisian standards) at 150 euros.
Back at the Citidines by midnight, our day is done. However, for many Parisians it's just starting. Vendredi night fever takes hold, and with it, there's yowling, bleating and hooting, but it's a happy noise.
The next morning, culture is set aside for a trip to the Musee de l'Air et de
l'Espace (MAE). The Metro passes are activated and we leap onto the subway. The passes allow any combination of Metro, RER (suburban trains) and buses. The Metro is a great show. Business-suited urbanites, Algerians in desert robes and youths with boom boxes leaven the mix.
Eventually, we arrive at the MAE. Four years earlier, on a solo visit, I had entered the building, rain drumming on its roof, thunderstorms and the Tour de France keeping everyone away.
Now, as it did then, soft light shines through the linen skin of the main hall's pioneer aircraft. These birds are delicate constructions of wooden sticks, dripping oil and reeking of paint. They're archaic, yet they represent a tipping point in history. Although their moustachioed pilots wore wool uniforms from the 19th century, the craft represented world transforming technology. In the next 100 years, air travel would connect continents, yet simultaneously hold the potential to destroy them.
The boys and I ramble to the hall of modern French prototypes. These aircraft, like so much that's French, represent genius, but sometimes an attraction to absurd concepts. We marvel at cylindrical craft that are all ramjet and no payload capacity. Others gape like huge sharks, all air intake and little room for the pilot. The names are brave; Griffon, Trident, and Mirage. No less evocative is the perfume: eau de airplane. Jet fuel, paint, and leather spice the air. It's a fragrance I recall from the F-89's radar bay.
On our return, we emerge from the Metro and into another example of the old order being confronted by the new.
This time it's a pro-Congo demonstration swaying down the boulevard. The parade, a call to remember turmoil in an old French colony, takes place under the gaze of muscular gendarmes. Whistles bleat, protesters dance, but it's well-mannered, and there is no violence.
This evening we dine in. A wonder of Paris is the number of supermarkets in the city's heart. We shop at the Monoprix, and for 60 euros we have baguettes, meat, potatoes, salad, sorbet, lemonade, Orangina, two bottles of Bordeaux and chocolate.
Sunday is the last day of our tour, and our chance to ride, sans cars, down the Champs Elysee. We stream down the Champs and circle the Arc de Triomphe. Later, we watch the professional riders speed across the cobbles of the Place de la Concorde.
The bikes go to the airport, and are sent home. The Air Canada freight staff cluck at the tariff for shipping bikes, and probably my fractured French, too. However, they take pity and discount the toll. More kindnesses occur on the bus ride back. We transfer at a terminal, and our driver escorts us to the connecting bus.
Then to the Louvre. On this day, a considerable number of the world's six billion inhabitants are present and staring at the Mona Lisa. We surf through the hallways, hunting for recognizable treasures. Some, like the Mona Lisa, are non-descript. Yet others, like Gericault's Raft of the Medusa, are a living window to a nightmare. After two hours our minds are boggled and the diagnosis is clear: we're suffering from "Arts-heimer's" syndrome.
We give the boys a reprieve by skipping Notre Dame, but next day insist on attending Versailles. The first spectacle is the snaking line of those who need tickets, waiting on the uneven cobbles. For holders of Paris Museum passes, the wait is only 10 minutes.
On entry it's clear that Versailles is, even centuries after the revolution, an edifice to the philosophy that the state existed to support one family. No wonder there was a revolt.
The salons are replete with elaborate wood carvings, celestial ceiling paintings, and walls plastered with embroidered textiles. The rooms are decorated with one-of-a-kind clockworks (a clock that keeps time till 9999 -- take that Timex), and other baubles that have no parallel. The tourists, mute and uncomprehending, stumble into each other, digital cams held aloft.
The palace exterior is equally mind-twisting. Lovers of gardens and architecture will be transported into ecstasies. However, these staples of domestic fantasies may be received with less enthusiasm by male teens. A visit to Versailles, on the heels of the Louvre, may encourage teenage travellers to demand that heads roll once more.
On our return, there's one last chance for an aeronautical pilgrimage. I had been told that the best aviation shop in Paris, The Pilot's Store, had relocated from the MAE. The store's website gave their new address as No. 1 Avenue Gustave Eiffel. Youngest son Matthew and I scamper off the RER and jog, in the shadow of the Tour Eiffel, to the Avenue Gustave Eiffel. We walk its length -- all of 50 metres. Where is No. 1?
Oh. There ... it ... is.
Back on the train, Matthew and I admire the joke. No. 1 Avenue Gustav Eiffel is a WC (water closet or public washroom). Another Anglo construct -- the mirthless Parisian -- crumbles like a stale croissant.
The next day, we're on our way to le Gare du Nord and Rome, but Paris continues to defy its stereotype. Parisians help us down the Metro stairs, lending a hand with our bags.
At le Gare du Nord, we speak in French, and the clerk responds en anglais. Same thing at the sandwich stall. Looks like we've passed the test. Amity has transcended traditional battle lines -- English vs. French, teen vs. parent. Culture has triumphed, and peace is the dividend. For what is culture if not manners? And, what is war but the lack of them?
It's a lesson that, for the last two millennia, has been a long time coming.
A lesson that was front and centre during our day outing to Vimy Ridge (a story for another day) and at our next stop: Rome.
Buy Paris Metro and Museum passes here. (The AMA travel agency sourced ours.) Don't discount streetside food shops. The fare is cheap and fresh. Bring cash. Not all credit cards work in France. However, most ABM cards will work at ATMs. Check with your bank. Speak French. And mind your manners.

Arsenic poisoning is the accidental ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation of products containing a toxic dose of arsenic. The most common cause of arsenic poisoning in cats is ingestion of ant baits that contain arsenic. The clinical signs of sudden arsenic poison can vary depending on the dose. Supportive therapy is a crucial part of treating arsenic poisoning. Aggressive fluid therapy and rehydration is necessary and helps the body to remove arsenic from the body.
Since we want the best for our pets, we should include them in the go green movement. Here are a few ways you can create a cleaner, greener home for you and your pet.
The simple description of an abscess is a pocket of pus located somewhere in the body. A cat with an abscess will often have a fever, even if the abscess has ruptured and drained to the outside of the body. Appropriate antibiotic therapy is a critical component of the successful treatment of abscesses, no matter the location.
The simple description of an abscess is a pocket of pus located somewhere in the body.
Acepromazine is used as a sedative and a pre-anesthetic agent. It also possesses the following properties: prevents vomiting, prevents muscle spasms, alleviates itching as a result of skin irritation and decreases temperature.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol®, Paracetamol, APAP, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol) is a pain relief and fever-reducing medicine people use for many types of pain.
Acetaminophen is a medication that is used to treat fever and/or pain in humans. Cats have a genetic deficiency in a metabolic pathway in the liver that makes cats vulnerable to acetaminophen toxicity.
Acetaminophen is a medication that is used to treat fever and/or pain in humans. Acetaminophen is toxic for dogs, and unfortunately, acetaminophen toxicity in dogs is somewhat common as dog owners attempt to treat their dogs for pain without first consulting with a veterinarian.
This medicine may be prescribed to treat glaucoma – a disease of the eye that increases intraocular pressure and produces defects in the field of vision. Acetazolamide will reduce the amount of pressure in the eye.
Canine acne is an inflammatory disorder of the lips and the skin of the muzzle. Dogs with mild cases of acne often have red bumps or pustules (pimples) on their skin. In some cases, acne may be associated with underlying skin conditions. There are a variety of treatments that may be used for the treatment of canine acne.

The Caesar Rodney School Board held a work session on Wednesday to discuss issues facing the district.
Times have been tight for everyone since the economic down turn in 2008. The Caesar Rodney School District has not escaped feeling the pinch.
Dr. Ada Carter, director of business and finance, said the district has been preparing for a reduction in state funding. She said careful use of state and federal funds have kept the district going without having to make major cuts. However, there may be some tough decisions facing the school district in the coming years.
According to a presentation made by Carter at the school board's work session on Wednesday, the district received $1,074,956 less from the state in 2012 than it did in 2008. During that period, federal stimulus funding helped fill the gap, but it was clear to officials the district was dealing with a funding reduction.
Carter said she knew money was getting tight, so she and the board at the time set up a list of sustainability goals. The district's goal was to retain staffing and programming as long as possible, with a combination of what she described shrewd budgeting and saving. During that period of time, the district was able to add to its contingency fund – a fund the district has been tapping into since last year.
"We've lost money over the years," said Superintendent Kevin Fitzgerald. "It's very much like a dam with a leak, every year the hole gets bigger and the plug gets a little smaller, you're able to hold back the ocean but you know that things are going to start to crumble and you're going to have problems eventually we need to plan for the future."
In her presentation, Carter gave the board three possible temporary solutions to consider, using additional reserve funds, using tuition funds (money designated to provide for special education students) to cover the local portion of the salaries of teachers serving special education students or "hold teachers" out of the classroom in favor of using substitutes. For every one teacher the district holds, they are able to fund 180 substitute days, which amounts to $20,000, according to Carter.
The other issue that the school district is facing is space.
Caesar Rodney High School is currently at its maximum capacity and other district schools are following the same trend and are very close to being at capacity.
"If the numbers are correct we will be way overcrowded in the next three years at McIlvaine," Fitzgerald said.
According to Fitzgerald, adding trailers at the high school to house students is not an ideal solution.
"They could use for trailers to house students but it wouldn't help congestion in the hallways so that's not a solution," he said.
"They suck up energy to no end," School Board Vice President David Henderson said.
However board member Melody Heavner reminded the board that a school can't be built in a day.
"Any new building is not happening next year, it's a five year thing," she said.
Nothing final has been decided on any of the district's financial issues. Carter said she used the workshop to implore the board to draft goals for the district that she hoped would ultimately guide their decisions going forward.

The 15th annual A Day In The Dirt Grand Prix kicked off today at Glen Helen Raceway Park. Friday traditionally hosts only the Troy Lee Designs Happy Hour practice sessions, but in recent years it has also played host to the SoCal Reunion Race, which pits old racers from the Indian Dunes, Saddleback, and Carlsbad against one another in a fun reunion of sorts.
This year, the FMF Two-Stroke Revival race made its debut in the Friday program, and well over 100 two-stroke die hards showed up to compete. Most notable in the crowd was Jeremy McGrath, who dusted off his 1994 Honda CR250R championship bike for some fun laps. Sean Collier toped the pro two-stroke field aboard a Kawasaki KX500, leading McGrath and the rest home.
A great battle at the front of the pack in the SoCal Reunion race saw Jeff Matiasevich and Ricky Johnson trade the lead repeatedly. In the end, it was the original Bad Boy who prevailed.

CONNOQUENESSING TWP — A 25-year-old man was on his way home from a methadone clinic this morning when he crossed into oncoming traffic on Route 68 and caused a collision that killed the other driver in front of the Connoquenessing Elementary School, state police said.
Investigators suspect the man was impaired and had a suspended license for a previous drunken driving conviction, said Lt. Eric Hermick.
Police did not immediately release the names of either driver.
The suspected drugged driver, who lives in Connoquenessing Township not far from the crash, was eastbound on Route 68 about 10:35 a.m. when he veered into the opposite lane.
"Witnesses reported that he abruptly swerved into the oncoming lane," Hermick said.
His Dodge Ram pickup collided with a westbound Nissan Frontier driven by a 52-year-old Oakland Township man, who died.
Butler County Coroner William Young III pronounced the older man dead at the scene. An autopsy is planned for this afternoon.
The driver of the Nissan "had no time to react," Hermick said.
Connoquenessing volunteer firefighters had to use a Hurst tool to free the driver from his mangled Nissan.
He was apparently still alive when rescuers got there. However, he was pronounced dead soon after a LifeFlight helicopter, which was called to fly him to a Pittsburgh hospital, landed in a field across from the school.
His sister, who was a front seat passenger, was taken by ambulance to Butler Memorial Hospital, authorities said. Police did not identify the woman, who injuries were not considered serious.
An ambulance took the driver of the pickup to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh with "non-life-threatening injuries," police said.
Police went to the hospital and spoke to the driver after the crash. He said that he was driving back from a visit to the methadone clinic in Cranberry Township, Hermick said.
The school is closed because today is Presidents Day.

Emma Rose Romig is doing well at the age of 14 months, after having surgery in May to correct a skull problem that was discovered a few months after she was born.
Emma Rose Romig is doing well at the age of 14 months, after having surgery in May to correct a skull problem that was discovered a few months after she was born.
Her mother, Rebecca Romig, shared Emma's story to encourage new parents to look for signs of this condition.
Emma has right coronal craniosynostosis, which was diagnosed when Emma was 4 months old. The right frontal part of her skull was closed, so her brain could not grow more on the right side. It is not supposed to close until the child is 2 or 3 years old, Rebecca explained.
This meant her skull was misshapen. This skull deformity occurs once in every 2,000 births, Rebecca said.
Emma lives in Hannibal with her mother and her 7-year-old brother, Christian Hooper. Her dad, Billy Powell, lives in Monroe City, and she has a sister, Anna, 6, and brothers, Ethan, 18, Nick, 16, and Jackson, 13. They all are from Palmyra.
Rebecca works for the Hannibal Parks & Recreation Department, and said, "they have been so accommodating. I took the whole month of June off to stay home with her, and they let me off for all of her appointments. They have been very supportive and accommodating."
Emma's surgery was on May 28 at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Her surgeon's were pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Matthew Smyth, MD and pediatric craniofacial surgeon Dr. Kamlesh Patel, MD.
"Dr. Smyth did the first half of the surgery to make sure that the dura surrounding the brain was not punctured as they removed the bones, and the Dr. Patel did the second half of the surgery to reshape the bones and put them back," Rebecca said. "She had a CVR/FOA, which stands for cranial vault reconstruction and frontal orbital advancement.
"Because of her suture closure, her right eye orbit was slightly recessed and higher than it should have been," Rebecca continued. "Her forehead on that side was flattening and she had no eyebrow bone. So, if she would have had a fall, that left her right eye completely unprotected.
"The right coronal suture being closed kept her brain from growing normally. Her brain could not grow forward on the right side so is grew more on the left side which resulted in a profusion on the left. This is noticeable in her pictures. They overcorrected her forehead when they did the surgery so that when her forehead pulled back as she grows it should pull into normal position.
"Her surgery was a success, and she used less blood than they thought she would use," Rebecca said. "She recovered really quickly.
"At her last check up (in September) Dr. Patel said she was looking great! The plates and screws that they used to hold her bones together are all dissolvable. She had five plates installed to hold it all together. Her surgery was in the $100,000 range, and her insurance covered all expenses! What a blessing that was!"
Dr. James Thornton, Emma's Hannibal pediatrician, noticed her condition at 4 months and said she needed to have a CT scan, Rebecca said. "I was really happy he caught it when he did and decided she needed to go down for a CT scan.
"Early detection of this condition is crucial to ensure the best treatment for the child and to prevent possible complications," she said. "Some things we were worried about were her vision, due to her eye orbit being affected, and intercranial pressure, due to the suture being closed. It's so important to get this diagnosed and treated right away to prevent any developmental delays or other problems."
Emma had developmental testing done right before surgery and is at a high average in most areas, her mother explained. "She will have a CT scan done again this coming May to make sure her sutures are all open as they should be. She had a vision test again Oct. 11 to make sure there is no more pressure on her eye. If there is, she will need an eye surgery, but we are praying that she will be cleared!
"She will have yearly CT scans until she is 5 and then her treatment plan will be reviewed and adjusted. ... Right now she will meet with her cranio team in St. Louis every year. Saying that, it's also very important to have this type of condition treated by an experienced cranio-facial team.
"I want to raise awareness for the condition," Rebecca said. "The sooner you get diagnosed, the better the treatment options. She could have had a different surgery (if it had been diagnosed earlier). And if it had not been diagnosed until she was older, it would have had more complications."
Rebecca discovered support groups for craniosynostosis on Facebook, reporting two that "were very helpful while going through this whole process are CCA and Cranio Care Bears. CCA is the Children's Craniofacial Organization. They are holding their Annual Cher's Family Retreat in June 26-29 in St. Louis this coming year. Their address is ccakid.org.
"Cranio Care Bears (craniocarebears.org) makes care packages to send to the families awaiting surgery. ... I encourage everyone to join and support CCA and Cranio Care Bears."

A detention officer was arrested at the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center Friday on a felony warrant for allegedly taking $1,000 to smuggle a cell phone to an inmate jailed on charges involving a large methamphetamine raid.
A detention officer was arrested at the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center Friday on a felony warrant for allegedly taking $1,000 to smuggle a cell phone to an inmate jailed on charges involving a large methamphetamine raid.
That detention officer, Michael Wayne George, 22, of Tecumseh, was formally charged in Pottawatomie County District Court Friday with the felony of being a jail employee receiving compensation from an inmate for bringing an item into jail, court documents show.
The arrest and charges followed an extensive internal investigation within the jail.
PCPSC Director Sid Stell said George, who was on his day off Friday, was called to the jail for a meeting, where he was arrested just after noon without incident.
George, held on a $10,000 bond, was transferred for holding to the Lincoln County jail.
Stell said George had worked as a detention officer at the Shawnee facility since August. An internal investigation was launched after a cell phone battery was found on an inmate inside the jail.
"Obviously if there's a battery loose in the facility, there must be a phone to go with it," Stell said.
The lengthy investigation led to further information and the phone being found last week after it was flushed down a toilet at the jail, Stell said. The investigation pointed to George as a suspect and a warrant was sought.
The felony charge alleges George received $1,000 from the wife of inmate Juan Rangel-Ortiz of Oklahoma City on or between Nov. 18 and Dec. 12, for purposes of him taking a cell phone into the safety center. Rangel-Ortiz has been jailed in the facility since last summer.
According to the arrest affidavit filed in the case, the prisoner stated in an interview that he initially asked George to bring in the phone for $500, but Officer George refused, along with another offer of $700. With an offer of $1,000, the affidavit alleges George said he would think about it. The affidavit further states the inmate's wife met George in Shawnee and gave him a cell phone and $1,000 cash.
Rangel-Ortiz, 34, was arrested on trafficking charges back in June as part of a massive methamphetamine raid that netted more than 40 arrests from the Shawnee, Tecumseh and Oklahoma City areas. He remains jailed in that case as his court case progresses.
While there are pay phones inmates can use inside the jail, those are strictly monitored and recorded, Stell said, but an unknown cell phone in a jail can be a dangerous combination for the staff as well as other prisoners.
Stell said there's a concern that inmates can conduct business related to the activity for which they were arrested, or further, could attempt to set up something else or attempt an escape.
"By allowing the inmate to have a cell phone, that officer placed everyone here in danger," Stell said about this incident.
Stell said because of situations like this, all jailers employed at the facility are put through training regarding inmate con games.
"These inmates ask officers on a regular basis – they test them," Stell said. "Every day, officers are tempted."
Stell said something as small as a jailer being asked to pass a note can turn into something bigger, such as prisoners asking for cigarettes, drugs or cell phones.
"If any others are involved in this particular incident, we will find them," Stell added.
Prior to Friday's arrest, Stell said George was considered to be a good detention officer who conducted himself professionally at work.
George's next court date on the felony charge hasn't yet been scheduled.
If he is convicted, George could face imprisonment up to two years and/or a fine up to $5,000.
Watch for updates.

Your policy builds accumulated value – based on premium payments you make – that you can borrow against while you're still around to enjoy it. You can use your policy's accumulated value for purchasing a home, starting a business, or even funding your retirement. Just remember that taking loans or withdrawals2 against the accumulated value could impact the amount of your death benefit.

Mirtazapine to Reduce Methamphetamine Use Among MSM With High-risk HIV Behaviors

|Condition or disease
|Substance Abuse HIV Infections
|Drug: mirtazapine Drug: placebo
|Phase 2
Methamphetamine use is especially prevalent among men who have sex with men (MSM). Population-based surveys report methamphetamine use rates 20 times higher among MSM compared with the general population. Methamphetamine use is also a driving force in the MSM HIV epidemic: methamphetamine use has been associated with increased number of sexual partners, unprotected sex acts, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV acquisition. Despite these alarming data, relatively few interventions have been tested among methamphetamine-using MSM, and no studies have tested the efficacy of pharmacologic interventions in reducing methamphetamine use in this population. In parallel with the continued testing of behavioral approaches, we believe the time has come to test pharmacologic interventions to reduce methamphetamine use among MSM. Pharmacologic approaches to treating substance use have been successful in treating nicotine, alcohol, and heroin dependence. No studies have tested a pharmacologic intervention to reduce methamphetamine use among MSM at high risk for HIV acquisition and transmission. A recent pilot study found that mirtazapine, a drug with dual dopaminergic and serotonergic properties, significantly reduced methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms when compared to placebo over a two-week period among Thai men in a drug probation center. Mirtazapine is a commonly used, FDA-approved antidepressant; however, in the Thai study its effects on methamphetamine withdrawal were independent of its effects on depressive symptoms, suggesting a direct effect of mirtazapine on treating methamphetamine dependence. We propose to expand upon these promising pilot results by conducting a study of intermediate size (60 participants) and length (3 months of follow-up) to assess the efficacy of mirtazapine in reducing methamphetamine use among high-risk MSM.
The specific aims of our study are:
- To test the hypothesis that mirtazapine 30 mg daily will reduce methamphetamine use significantly more than placebo among methamphetamine-dependent MSM, as determined by the proportion of methamphetamine-negative urines and by self-report of methamphetamine use in the mirtazapine versus placebo group.
- To measure the acceptability of mirtazapine and placebo among methamphetamine-dependent MSM, by determining (via electronic pill caps and self-report) medication adherence to mirtazapine and placebo.
- To measure the safety and tolerability of mirtazapine and placebo among methamphetamine-dependent MSM, as determined by the number of adverse clinical events in the mirtazapine and placebo arms.
If promising, study results will be used to design a phase III clinical trial to determine if mirtazapine's effects on reducing methamphetamine use lead to reductions in methamphetamine-associated sexual risk. We have chosen first to conduct a 3-year intermediate-sized trial in order to determine if mirtazapine reduces methamphetamine use and whether mirtazapine demonstrates good acceptability and tolerability among a population with methamphetamine-associated high-risk sexual behaviors. If this proves to be the case, we believe our study results will provide strong support for a much larger trial to test the hypothesis that mirtazapine-driven reductions in methamphetamine use will result in corresponding decreases in sexual risk behavior. This study is therefore designed to reflect the structure of a larger HIV-risk reduction trial and includes both substance use and sexual risk behavior measures. We will enroll sexually active, methamphetamine-dependent MSM (either HIV-negative or HIV-positive) who will be randomized 1:1 to receive mirtazapine or placebo for 90 days. Because no medications have been approved to treat methamphetamine dependence, we include extensive safety parameters, as is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when testing a medication for a new indication in a new population. Participants will be seen weekly for urine drug testing and for brief substance use counseling. All will receive HIV risk-reduction counseling. Behavior will be assessed using standardized measures via audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI).

Completely diff situation than going to ND who has a strong front 7 but a very questionable secondary and no offense. Duke Johnson will be heard from multiple times in this game. ND dare not man up against Miami's wrs or they will have to score many pts to win. Good Luck on your wager.
Could also say who here is concerned with Miami's defense? That D should make this ND offense look good today.
Good luck today 165, great job this season
Agree with you on Notre Dame and Illinois..

Bottom of the seventh, two balls, no strikes — and Hendersonville Little Theater hits a home run!
Jonathan Forrester, second-time director for HLT, does a beautiful rendition of Neil Simon's "Brighton Beach Memoirs" — humorous and heartfelt. The production is like looking through a keyhole into the lives of an extended family in Depression-era Brooklyn, N.Y., circa 1937.
In the Jerome household, money is tight, tensions are high, and hormones are raging. But after all, this is Neil Simon, and family, love and laughter hold them all together.
The Jerome family is packed like sardines into a small home, with aunt Blanche, cousins Nora and Laurie, father Jack, mother Kate and brothers Stanley and Eugene. The cast seamlessly navigates shtick and sentiment in Simon's semi-autobiographical play, making this classic a must-see.
The audience's guide into this family is 15-year-old Eugene Jerome (played by Dion "Bookie" Mills, a junior at North Henderson High school). Eugene dreams of playing for the Yankees, seeing a girl naked (even for just 2� seconds) and never eating another bite of liver. Mills portrays an energetic boy full of imagination trying to hold onto childhood while being propelled into adolescence. As a budding writer, Eugene's narration pulls back the curtain revealing his family at their wittiest and most vulnerable.
Lyn O'Hare, who portrays Eugene's mother, Kate, captures the worrying, nagging, loving Jewish mother very naturally. She is constantly in motion — cleaning, cooking, and trying to keep the family together.
Kate's widowed sister Blanche, played by Carole Avery, has become so crippled by the idea of making a poor decision that she cannot make a decision at all. Her eruption of self-discovery in Act II is both heartbreaking and relieving. In many ways, the play is as much about Blanche's growing up as it is about Eugene's coming of age.
Jessica Donahue and Skylan Rayne give touching performances as Blanche's daughters Nora and Laurie. Nora, 17, is full of self-righteousness and longing for stardom. But her tender relationship with younger sister Laurie makes you love her.
Daniel Fritog, a junior at East Henderson High School, is an excellent Stanley, Eugene's older brother. At 18, Stanley is caught between independence and the burden of being one of the only breadwinners for the family. Daniel nails awkwardness of a teen who is forced into the responsibilities of an adult.
At the head of the family is patient, overworked Jack, played by Phillip Packer. Packer infuses Jack with the exhaustion of Willy from "Death of a Salesman" and the patience of Atticus Finch from "To Kill a Mockingbird." He does an amazing job playing the father who holds the family together.
Perhaps my favorite part was the way the director kept the household alive throughout the play. The upstairs bedrooms were divided with a screen brightly illuminated for scenes, but dimly transparent the entire time. Characters could be observed brushing their teeth, primping their hair, reading a book and, yes, going to the bathroom. Scenes were like zooming into a certain portion of the house, glimpsing that particular moment in their lives. The effect was to make the house feel real, crowded, overwhelmed and somehow more like a family.
The screen also gave bedroom scenes a more intimate tone, giving me the guilty pleasure of eavesdropping on the children's lives. That's where the Jerome brothers, Eugene and Stanley, sleep, kvetch, fight, joke and occasionally cry. It is where Laurie gently tucks the photo of her dead father into bed, and it is where cousin Nora mortifies Eugene by walking into the bathroom while he is "on the can."
No one makes family harmony and disharmony as funny or as touching as Neil Simon. So don't miss your chance to see this rendition of "Brighton Beach Memoirs" at Hendersonville Little Theater.
Heartwarming household comes alive in 'Brighton Beach'
