Today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a one-line decision affirming the lower court's ruling in Warner-Lambert v. Kent. This decision will allow certain Michigan residents to hold drug manufacturers accountable for their negligence. This decision does not apply broadly to all state tort claims.
Washington, DC—"The result today affirming the 2nd Circuit's decision will allow Michigan residents harmed by drugs that are unsafe or provide inadequate warnings to have a fair chance in our courts, and hold companies accountable for their actions.
"While those plaintiffs will get justice in the courtroom, we hope the Supreme Court's decision in Levine v. Wyeth this fall will continue to allow Americans in any state to hold drug companies accountable."

While Congress is expressly granted power under the Constitution to enact federal laws that supersede state laws, federal regulatory agencies inside the Bush administration have taken the unprecedented step of creating rules that preempt state law and state tort remedies. This practice, called preemption, usurps the authority of Congress, state legislatures, and state courts and is harmful to Americans. Agencies seeking preemption are doing so without Congressional or constitutional authority.
The idea that if minimum federal standards are met, all state tort claims should be discarded is a direct affront to the authority of state courts, state legislatures, and Congress. State remedies were designed to complement, not conflict with, federal health and safety regulations.
The civil justice system offers corporations a powerful incentive to make their products safer. All people should have a fair chance to receive justice through the legal system when they are injured by the negligence or misconduct of others – even when it means taking on the most powerful corporations.
This dispute stems from several suits against the drug manufacturer Warner-Lambert, which is now owned by Pfizer Inc, over its diabetes drug Rezulin. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered Rezulin off the market in 2000 after it was linked to hundreds of deaths caused by liver failure.
That year, a group of plaintiffs from Michigan brought suit against the company for negligence and defects in the design and manufacture of the drug. Under Michigan law, a drug which has been approved by the FDA cannot be deemed defective or unreasonably dangerous, in effect giving the manufacturer of the drug immunity and preventing victims from seeking justice in the courtroom.
The only exception for this blanket immunity occurs in instances where the drug's approval by the FDA was obtained through fraud. Therefore, drug manufacturers can be subject to suit for victims' injuries caused by their products if they intentionally withheld or misrepresented information presented to the FDA, and the FDA would not have approved the drug if all the information had been accurately submitted.
The question before the U.S. Supreme Court is whether state courts can consider allegations that a drug company misled the FDA to win approval for a drug, or if cases presented under this exemption are preempted.
The plaintiffs in this case, led by Kimberly Kent, claim that Warner-Lambert misled the FDA about the severity and pervasiveness of the liver damage among patients in the company's clinical trials and, therefore, is liable for damages under the Michigan statutes exemption. Warner-Lambert contends that state courts should not decide such claims because it would "intrude upon an exclusively federal domain" and "inevitably conflict with the FDA's authority" to police fraud against it.
Unlike the Court's latest rulings on issues of regulatory preemption, most notably Riegel v. Medtronic, the ruling is expected to have narrow implications. There are a handful of states that have laws that are similar to the Michigan statute but only Michigan has the additional requirement to prove the FDA would not have approved the drug if the information was accurately submitted.
- Supreme Court granted certiorari on 9/25/07
- Oral Arguments: 2/25/08
- Decision: 3/3/08
A 2006 FDA rule on drug labeling declared state tort law was preempted, although the agency had long held the opposite view. [i] In fact, when the rule had been proposed five years earlier, it had specifically stated "this proposed rule does not preempt state law."[ii] In a letter to the FDA, Senators Edward Kennedy and Chris Dodd, senior Democrats on the committee that oversees the FDA, criticized the agency for adding the language without allowing comments, and described the assertion of preemption as, "a drastic reversal of policy with … far-reaching implications."[iii]
The FDA's drug labeling rule did not include the preemption provision in draft form. Only after the comment period had ended and the final version of the rule was issued was the preemption language publicly seen. There was an immediate outcry from Congress and states' groups. In a letter to the FDA, Representative Lee Terry (R-NE) stated that because the "preemption language did not appear in any earlier versions of the proposed rule FDA's response that no state or local government responded is disingenuous."[iv] The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) complained that "[i]t is unacceptable that FDA would not permit the states to be heard on language that has a direct impact on state civil justice systems nationwide."[v]
The FDA's turnaround on preemption was led by FDA Chief Counsel Daniel Troy, who was the most senior FDA executive from 2000 to 2002.[vi] Troy had previously received hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation from tobacco and pharmaceutical companies whom he had represented, often against the FDA.[vii] In Troy's three years at the FDA he held 129 meetings with representatives of industries with interests in the regulatory processes of the FDA.[viii] At an industry conference in 2003, Troy stated that he was the initiator of the amicus briefs filed on behalf of manufacturers, which had been the agency's first vehicle for advocating preemption.[ix]

Fans are rightfully frustrated with the lackluster outings delivered by Twins starters on an almost nightly basis, and much of the heat is being directed toward the front office. I think this is a little unfair.
Blackburn and Liriano were both on fire in spring training, so their quick descents into the regular season have been surprising. Baker's elbow couldn't have been handled much differently. Marquis has at least been serviceable when healthy for the majority of his career this is likely the worst he's ever pitched. And Liam Hendriks looked like a solid enough fallback, given his domination of the minor leagues.
Nothing has worked, for any of those guys. Front to back, the starting corps has been a catastrophe. Baker had a cascade of bad news regarding his elbow, resulting in the likely end to his Twins career. Liriano has been demoted to the bullpen, Hendriks to the minors. Blackburn has been placed on the disabled list for reasons that may have as much to do with performance as health. Marquis may be on the verge of getting cut.
The only member of the rotation that has performed about as you'd expect is Pavano, and he's done so while throwing 85 MPH with a sore shoulder.
Altogether, the Twins' starters have been getting battered around like a bunch of marginal minor-leaguers. Ironically, the only guys who have been able to break the spell of ineptitude are a couple of marginal minor-leaguers.
Scott Diamond and P.J. Walters are not noteworthy prospects. They were pretty far back in line to receive major-league starts back when camp broke, but things have spiraled so quickly it took them only until mid-May to get a shot. And to their credit, both have taken advantage in a way that nobody in front of them on the depth chart has been able to.
Diamond blanked opponents for seven innings in two consecutive outings after being called up last week. Walters tossed six innings of one-run ball on Saturday and took a tough loss, then beat the Tigers in their own park with 6 1/3 strong innings on Thursday. Together, the two have combined for four quality starts in four turns; the rest of the Twins' starters have produced seven quality starts in 34 tries.
I've never seen anything quite like it. An entire stable of veteran starters with track records of major-league success pitching abysmally, and then two guys from the bottom of the depth chart coming up and setting the example.
To what can we attribute this strange turn of events? Opponents haven't had the chance to fully scout Diamond and Walters that might be part of it. But mostly I think it's just the law of averages. The Twins have had so many bad breaks, so many awful performances, so many inexplicable miscues, that eventually a few things had to start going their way.
I believe what we've seen in the Twins' respectable 5-5 run over the past 10 games is a team's luck finally FINALLY starting to swing. Rather than getting dud outings from guys with high expectations, they're getting great outings from guys with no expectations. Rather than folding in tough spots, the relievers are coming through (Glen Perkins in the eighth Thursday serving as a prime example). Rather than continuing to struggle in his return from injury, Justin Morneau is swatting the ball. Rather than being placed on the DL at the last second, Ryan Doumit is being pulled off it at the last second.
And rather than losing night after night, the Twins are starting to win a few. Let's hope it keeps up.

When Bryan Merritt left the Chickasha boys' basketball program, the existence of that void hurt more knowing it was vacated by one of the town's native sons.
So followers of the program should be happy to know it's been filled by another.
"I played here and grew up here," said Nathan Pennypacker, who was confirmed as the new boys' basketball head coach last week. "I managed to be on a pretty good team that went to a few state tournaments. I also coached with Merritt for one year, but I decided to go to another school to, not necessarily do it my way, but just to seek a different opportunity and go on a different path."
That different path was at Pioneer Public School, where he coached boys and girls basketball from 2011 to this year. Before that, he assisted Merritt in 2010, fresh out of the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma with a health and physical education degree he received in April of that year.
His past was a major factor in his hiring, Athletic Director Yohance Brown said, as he was selected from "several applicants from throughout the state.
"Getting that fit in the program is more important than anything to me, because success at other programs may not translate to success at Chickasha," Brown said. "He's a Chickasha kid who grew up in this town and came through this program during a period when it was very successful. We felt like he had the full gamut of what we wanted in a head coach."
As a young coach, Pennypacker has the ability to relate to more easily relate to players, which is important for the type of program he desires.
"We're going to come in and work hard every day, but I want it to be a fun environment," Pennypacker said. "If you're not having fun with what you're doing, it's not going to be something you want to do."

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The risk of freezing rain has ended in North Carolina--with little precipitation--but a number of schools delayed the start of classes on Monday.
There were two areas with freezing rain advisories that expired late Monday morning--in the mountains in Boone and in the Greensboro, Durham and Raleigh area.
(Click here for school delays)
Avery County Schools, Catawba County Schools, Hickory Public Schools, Mitchell County Schools and Watauga County Schools all opened two hours late on Monday. Caldwell County Schools is opening three hours later than normal.
The National Weather Service had warned that freezing rain and a little sleet was possible in the state early Monday.
That prompted a number of schools to delay the start of classes two or three hours.
Most areas had temperatures in the mid-30s to 40s by late Monday morning.

|Related: judicial
|[C14: from Old French jugier, from Latin jūdicāre to pass judgment, from jūdex a judge]
(Heb. shophet, pl. shophetim), properly a magistrate or ruler, rather than one who judges in the sense of trying a cause. This is the name given to those rulers who presided over the affairs of the Israelites during the interval between the death of Joshua and the accession of Saul (Judg. 2:18), a period of general anarchy and confusion. "The office of judges or regents was held during life, but it was not hereditary, neither could they appoint their successors. Their authority was limited by the law alone, and in doubtful cases they were directed to consult the divine King through the priest by Urim and Thummim (Num. 27:21). Their authority extended only over those tribes by whom they had been elected or acknowledged. There was no income attached to their office, and they bore no external marks of dignity. The only cases of direct divine appointment are those of Gideon and Samson, and the latter stood in the peculiar position of having been from before his birth ordained 'to begin to deliver Israel.' Deborah was called to deliver Israel, but was already a judge. Samuel was called by the Lord to be a prophet but not a judge, which ensued from the high gifts the people recognized as dwelling in him; and as to Eli, the office of judge seems to have devolved naturally or rather ex officio upon him." Of five of the judges, Tola (Judg. 10:1), Jair (3), Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon (12:8-15), we have no record at all beyond the bare fact that they were judges. Sacred history is not the history of individuals but of the kingdom of God in its onward progress. In Ex. 2:14 Moses is so styled. This fact may indicate that while for revenue purposes the "taskmasters" were over the people, they were yet, just as at a later time when under the Romans, governed by their own rulers.

ENID, Okla. — Silent Witness helps raise domestic violence awareness
Verizon Wireless and Oklahoma Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (OCADVSA) are raising domestic violence awareness through October with the Silent Witness Initiative project.
The project displays will travel across Oklahoma during the month of October in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The tour will stop today at Northwestern Oklahoma State University-Enid, where it will be open to the public at 8 a.m.
"The Silent Witness Initiative is a national memorial honoring those individuals whose lives were lost by domestic violence," said Marcia Smith, director of OCADVSA. "Each life-sized red silhouette represents someone who once lived, worked and had friends and family before their life was taken. In turn, we are all affected by domestic violence."

Eames Elephant
Eames Elephant by Vitra.
Almost no other animal enjoys such popularity as the elephant. Admired for its majestic size and loved for its proverbial good-humor, it is part of our everyday experience as a child's cuddly toy, a storybook character and a majestic creature. Charles and Ray Eames also succumbed to their charms and in 1945 designed a toy elephant made of plywood. However, it never made it into mass production.
The Eames elephant is now available for the first time in a plastic version for those it was originally intended for: children. Whether used as a toy (also outdoors) or a decorative item in a children's room - this friendly-looking animal with its distinctive, over-sized ears is bound to bring cheer and enjoyment to many a child's and parent's heart.

Iron Mike MP-6 Pitching Machine
Heavy duty hand and arm system simulates wind-up and delivery just like a real pitcher from 25 - 85 mph Operates on 110V power with 80' low voltage remote switch Includes a hopper for 600 baseballs!
Hitting is all about timing. You must have the proper timing to know when to start your swing and when to shift your weight. This is achieved by watching the pitcher's arm and release of the ball. An arm-style pitching machine is the only type of pitching machine that gives you that same sense of timing. With each pitch you see the machine's arm wind up and release the ball. It is the realistic nature of the machine that allows you to practice the same fundamentals in the batting cages as you use on the field. Because of this, the Iron Mike arm-style pitching machines from Master Pitching Machine are the favorite machines of professional players and coaches worldwide.

No. 1 Wake Forest (6-0) at No. 3 Wakefield (6-0), 7 p.m.
Wake Forest's Bryce Love (140.8 yards rushing per game) leads the Cougars' ball-control offense that averages 294 yards rushing. Wakefield counters with the passing of Evan Brabrand (252.3 yards passing per game.) Special teams may be key in the Cap Eight 4A showdown.
Cedar Ridge (0-6) at No. 2 Orange (6-0), 7:30
On paper, this one shouldn't be close, but the Red Wolves scored 28 points on Northwood last week and QB Peyton Pappas has passed for 1,071 yards. Orange is allowing 6 points per game and scoring 42.
No. 6 Middle Creek (4-2) at No. 4 Panther Creek (5-1), 7:30
The Southwest Wake 4A race is expected to be tight, but Friday night's winner will be in good shape. The Mustangs' Brant Grisel has passed for 1,222 yards. Panther Creek has two shutouts and hasn't allowed more than 21 points in a game since an opening 28-14 loss to top-ranked Wake Forest.
No. 5 Knightdale (5-1) at Harnett Central (1-5), 7
Knightdale won early this season with its defense, but exploded offensively last week in a 52-27 victory against Clayton, which had also been pretty good defensively. Harnett Central has dropped four straight.
No. 8 Southern (4-2) at No. 11 Cardinal Gibbons (5-1), 7
The game includes two of the area's top quarterbacks – Southern's Kendall Hinton (1,061 yards passing) and Shawn Stankavage of Gibbons (1,471 yards passing). The Spartans have been hot offensively, averaging 53 points during a three-game win streak.
Jordan (1-5) at No. 7 Hillside (3-2), 7
Jordan must cope with Hillside's size and speed. A week off should have helped the Falcons' dinged-up offense get back up to speed. Jordan has scored just 6.8 points a game since getting off to a good start.
No. 9 Millbrook (4-2) at Broughton (0-6), 7
Millbrook battled unbeaten Wake Forest to the final series in a 31-25 loss last week. No other team has scored more than 14 points on Millbrook. Broughton's Patrick Kearney has passed for 1,496 yards.
South Johnston (1-5) at No. 10 Triton (5-1), 7:30
The longest running rivalry in the new Two Rivers 3A Conference helps kick off the first week of league play. Triton has won the last three meetings.
Oxford Webb (2-3) at No. 12 Northwood (5-1), 7:30
The Warriors have been giving up 30.6 points a game while Northwood has been averaging 43, with QB Ti Pinnix emerging as the top passer in the area (329 yards per game). The numbers don't look good for Webb.
Enloe (0-6) at No. 13 Heritage (4-2), 7
Heritage will try to rebound from a last-second 20-14 loss to Sanderson last week. Enloe led Millbrook last week before giving up two fourth-quarter scores in a 34-21 loss.
Western Harnett (2-4) at No. 14 Corinth Holders (5-1), 7:30
Corinth Holders keeps on finding ways to win and Western Harnett did the same in its last two outings, wins against Cameron Union Pines and Siler City Jordan-Matthews.
No. 15 Franklinton (5-1) at South Granville (5-1), 7:30
The Northern Carolina 2A title may be decided in this league opener. Both teams have been impressive.
Other games
Bartlett Yancey (2-4) at Carrboro (3-3), 7
Carrboro has dropped three straight since losing runner Trai Sharp to a knee injury. QB Donielle Totten and RB Dayshawn Newman help Bartlett Yancey get the ball up and down the field.
Cleveland (2-4) at Smithfield-Selma (0-6), 7:30
Cleveland is averaging 36.3 points per game, helped by the running of Isaac Martin (990 rushing yards). Smithfield-Selma allows more than 40 points per game.
East Wake (2-4) at Southeast Raleigh (3-2,), 7
Will the real East Wake please stand up? The Warriors topped Garner two weeks ago, then lost to South Granville last week. Friday's winner will be in good shape in the Greater Neuse 4A.
Hobbton (0-5,) at Princeton (3-3), 7:30
Hobbton came oh-so-close to its first win last week (a 22-21 loss to Spring Creek) and meets a Princeton team led by runner Johnny Frasier (1,009 yards).
Garner (5-2, 1-1) at Clayton (5-2, 1-1), 7
This one's going to come down to defensive play. Both teams have potent running attacks – Clayton's more plodding, Garner's more quick-hitting. Garner's Nyheim Hines (225 rushing yards per game) is countered by three Comet runners with 400-plus yards.
Northern Vance (0-6) at Chapel Hill (2-4), 7
Northern Vance has scored 14 points total in its last three games, and only 70 all season. Chapel Hill has given up 90 points in its last two games.
Person (2-4) at Northern Durham (0-6), 7
Outside of losses to two of the state's top-10 teams – Orange and Greensboro Dudley – the Rockets have moved the ball well. Marquis Torain is an effective runner, but so is quarterback Trevon Tapp. Northern has scored 58 points this year.
Ravenscroft (3-4) at Wake Christian (3-4), 7:30
The Bulldogs try to bounce back after a loss to Harrells Academy last week. Ravenscroft averages 32.3 points a night and is led by two-way end Avery Edwards.
Riverside (4-2) at East Chapel Hill (1-5), 7
The last time Riverside was above .500 at the start of its conference schedule was in 2006, when the Pirates were 3-2 and then won eight straight en route to the state finals. Joel Evans (194.7 ypg) leads the Pirates.
Wilson Beddingfield (3-3) at North Johnston (0-6), 7:30
Beddingfield would love to carry over the positive vibes it had after a 15-13 win against rival Wilson Hunt, a state semifinalist last year. North Johnston lost to North Lenoir 18-16 in its last game.
Fuquay-Varina (3-3) at Green Hope (4-3), 7:30
The margin of error for Fuquay-Varina has been small. The Bengals have been in three games decided by seven points or less. Green Hope must buck a recent trend – three straight games allowing a special teams or defensive touchdown.
Cary (2-4) at Holly Springs (3-3), 7:30
Cary has shown a lot of fight this year, but preseason concerns about depth and experience are coming to fruition in conference play. Holly Springs, which rolled up 631 yards of offense last week, is looking to win its fourth straight game for the second time in school history.
Athens Drive (3-4) at Apex (2-4), 7:30
The Apex defense has been quietly good this year. Athens Drive has scored no more than 12 points in any of its four losses but is averaging 30.3 points per win.

|war between parties, factions, or inhabitants of different regions within the same nation
|Civil War
|English history the conflict between Charles I and the Parliamentarians resulting from disputes over their respective prerogatives. Parliament gained decisive victories at Marston Moor in 1644 and Naseby in 1645, and Charles was executed in 1649
|(US) history the war fought from 1861 to 1865 between the North and the South, sparked off by Lincoln's election as president but with deep-rooted political and economic causes, exacerbated by the slavery issue. The advantages of the North in terms of population, finance, and communications brought about the South's eventual surrender at Appomattox
The war fought in the United States between northern (Union) and southern (Confederate) states from 1861 to 1865, in which the Confederacy sought to establish itself as a separate nation. The Civil War is also known as the War for Southern Independence and as the War between the States. The war grew out of deep-seated differences between the social structure and economy of North and South, most notably over slavery; generations of political maneuvers had been unable to overcome these differences (see Missouri Compromise and Compromise of 1850). The secession of the southern states began in late 1860, after Abraham Lincoln was elected president. The Confederacy was formed in early 1861. The fighting began with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter. Most of the battles took place in the South, but one extremely crucial episode, the Battle of Gettysburg, was fought in the North. The war ended with the surrender of General Robert E. Lee to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House. (See Battle of Bull Run, Battle of Chancellorsville, Emancipation Proclamation, and Sherman's march to the sea; also see map, next page.)
Note: The Civil War has been the most serious test yet of the ability of the United States to remain one nation.

U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert is on his way to beginning his fifth term as initial elections result show he is leading challenger Karen Porterfield by almost 19 points.
With results in from King, Pierce, Kittitas, Chelan and Douglas counties, Reichert currently has 107,121 points (59.37 percent) over Porterfield by 73,295 votes (40.63 percent).
Thanks to this year's redistricting plan which redrew the boundaries of the state's 8th Congresstional District, state political watchers believed early on that the change was to Reichert's advantage in turning what had been a swing district, according to The Seattle Times, into one that is now decidedly Republican.
Gone is Bellevue, the Interstate 405 corridor and the northern half of east King County, said the Tacoma News Tribune. Instead, the district now straddles the Cascades, encompassing Chelan and Kittatas counties to the east.
Both candidates headed east in early October to take part in this debate at Wenatchee Valley College.
Results are next updated in King County at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. In Pierce County, a second round of updates was coming at 11 p.m. (updated), and then 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Wednesday.

Analysis: The CIA Shouldn't Get to Vet the Torture Report
- By Conor Friedersdorf
- The Atlantic
- May 8, 2013
- Leave a comment
Remember the report on Bush-era torture that Senate staffers spent so much time researching and writing? The one that would give Americans their best yet opportunity to be informed about and assess the morality and effectiveness of interrogation techniques employed in our names?
"The CIA is assembling what former officials have described as a defiant response to a 6,000-page report recently completed by the Senate Intelligence Committee that sharply criticizes the interrogation program as well as the agency's claims about its results," the Washington Post reports.
This isn't surprising. Of course the CIA is critical of a report that criticizes the CIA. But why can't we see the report before or concurrent with their rebuttal? Why does the CIA get a say in what gets declassified? They're biased in the most extreme ways imaginable on this subject, and have every incentive to brazenly dissemble. Vesting them with say in this matter is inexcusable.

British scientists link new genes to short-sightedness
Scientists from King's College London have led an international research team to the discovery of 24 new genes that cause short-sightedness and refractive errors in vision.
Short-sightedness, known more formally as myopia, is one of the world's leading causes of blindness. Roughly 30% of the population in Western countries and up to 80% in Asia suffer from myopia. At present, there is no cure.
To carry out the study, researchers examined genetic and refractive error data from more than 45,000 people.
The new study, published in the journal Nature Genetics, illuminates the role that genetics plays in myopia. The hope is that knowing the role genes play in the condition will help scientists determine ways to head off or treat the effects.
"We already knew that myopia -- or short-sightedness -- tends to run in families, but until now we knew little about the genetic causes," said Chris Hammond, lead author of the study and a scientist in the college's Department of Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology. "This study reveals for the first time a group of new genes that are associated with myopia and that carriers of some of these genes have a 10-fold increased risk of developing the condition."

Recently, the range of medically accepted alternatives to narcotics for pain relief has increased, Sorg says. Acupuncture, benzocaine and spinal treatments, relaxation and massage techniques, and physical therapy help with pain in some people.
"What we need is a broad approach to pain," Sorg says. "We need to do a better job of discriminating people at risk for addiction and there are no good ways to do it now except by patient history. Genetics research is not there yet (to determine who is predisposed to addiction), but may someday help. We also need to work for better coordination of care. When multiple providers are involved — say, if a person who is vulnerable to addiction goes to a dentist and a knee surgeon — coordinating care becomes critical. That's where prescription monitoring is helpful."
In 2003–04, Maine implemented a Prescription Monitoring Program designed to prevent and detect prescription drug misuse and diversion. Overseen by the Office of Substance Abuse in the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, the database details all prescriptions for controlled substances dispensed in the state. The Prescription Monitoring Program includes an online service that allows prescribing clinicians and pharmacists to check the controlled substance treatment history for new and existing patients.
Sorg's research demonstrates that, while healthcare providers in Maine write most of the prescriptions, many out-of-state healthcare providers (at least one in every state) are writing prescriptions filled in Maine pharmacies.
The research illustrates why policies involving prescription drugs can't be done effectively by one state acting alone, says Sorg. State prescription monitoring needs some national coordination.
"It's nearly impossible for providers to really know what their patients do with the drugs they prescribe. Some drugs are obviously being diverted," Sorg says. "Doctors may develop suspicions when a patient is doing what is known as drug seeking (requesting prescriptions for increasing amounts or going from provider to provider to get multiple prescriptions). Patients may be harder to deal with if they become addicted and need opiates or they'll go into withdrawal.
"The physicians caring for these patients are caught between a rock and a hard place. They want to do what is best for their patients, but sometimes find themselves having to deal with addicted patients who engage in illegal activities."
The answer to the dilemma is multifaceted. It includes better patient education about the adverse effects of narcotics, prescriber education about effective ways to prescribe controlled substances, centralized prescription monitoring, and improved feedback to physicians and other prescribers about the problems of pharmaceutical abuse, Sorg says.
"Prescriptions are on the supply side for a lot of things that end up badly," says Sorg. "Physicians and other prescribers need to pay attention to the downstream effects of prescribing. That includes being better informed if a patient is doctor shopping, using the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, and doing better patient education and safer in-office prescribing practices."

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

HOUSTON—Charges were pending Sunday evening against a suspected drunk driver who police said caused a crash that sent four children to the hospital.
It happened in the early morning hours at the intersection of Fry Road and the Interstate- 10 feeder in west Houston.
Authorities said 22-year-old Lourdes Lopez was driving north on Fry and ran the light. That's when her Jeep SUV was t-boned by an eastbound pickup truck.
The impact ejected a 12-year-old boy from the Jeep. Three other children ranging in age from 1 to 9 were also badly hurt.
The children were transported by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Lopez and a 45-year-old man who was riding in the front passenger seat were being treated for non life-threatening injuries.
Authorities said no one from the pickup truck was hurt.
People who live near the Cypress home where some of the victims live had a tough time digesting what had happened.
"They're good neighbors," said Edgar Maldonado, who lives two houses down. "They're a good family. We spend really good times together. It's kind of hard to hear the news."
"This is tough," said Andrew Okafor. "Anything can happen at any time so we all have to get ready for whatever comes our way."
Police said tests confirmed Lopez was intoxicated. It remained unclear precisely what charges she would face.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Norelgestromin/Ethinyl Estradiol contraceptive skin patch is used to prevent pregnancy. Hormones from the patch are absorbed through your skin into your body. It works by stopping a woman's egg from fully developing each month. The egg can no longer accept a sperm and fertilization is prevented.
This patch allows more estrogen into the blood than oral birth control containing the same amount of estrogen.
No contraceptive method is 100 percent effective. Birth control methods such as having surgery to become sterile or not having sex are more effective. Discuss with your doctor your options for birth control.
Norelgestromin/Ethinyl Estradiol does not prevent AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases. It will not prevent hepatitis B. It will not help as emergency contraception, such as after unprotected sexual contact.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies on the relationship of age to the effects of norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol transdermal have not been performed in the pediatric population. However, pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of this medication in teenagers are not expected. This medicine may be used for birth control in teenage females but is not indicated before the start of menstruation.
Appropriate studies on the relationship of age to the effects of norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol transdermal have not been performed in the geriatric population. This medicine is not indicated for use in elderly women.
Studies suggest that this medication may alter milk production or composition. If an alternative to this medication is not prescribed, you should monitor the infant for side effects and adequate milk intake.
Studies in women breastfeeding have demonstrated harmful infant effects. An alternative to this medication should be prescribed or you should stop breastfeeding while using this medicine.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following may cause an increased risk of certain side effects but may be unavoidable in some cases. If used together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use this medicine, or give you special instructions about the use of food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
To make using hormonal contraceptives as safe and reliable as possible, you should understand how and when to use them and what effects may be expected.
A paper with information for the patient will be given to you with your filled prescription, and will provide many details concerning the use of hormonal contraceptives. Read this paper carefully and ask your doctor if you need additional information or explanation.
This transdermal patch system is to be used for 28 days (four-week) cycle. A new patch is applied each week for 3 weeks (21 days), and week four is patch-free.
When you begin using norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal, your body will require at least 7 days to adjust before a pregnancy will be prevented. Use a second form of contraception, such as a condom, spermicide, or diaphragm, for the first 7 days of your first cycle.
Keep each patch in the package until you are ready to use it. Wash your hands with soap and water before and after applying a patch. Apply the patch to clean, dry, and intact skin on the abdomen or stomach, upper body, the upper outside part of the arm, or the buttocks. Avoid touching the sticky surface of the patch. Make sure there is no lotion, powder, cream, or make-up on the skin. Apply the patch and then press it with the palm of your hand for 10 seconds to make sure it sticks. Change the location of the patch each time you apply a new one. Do not apply a patch to skin that is injured, broken, or cut. Do not apply a patch to your breasts. Check the patch every day to make sure it is in place.
If the patch comes off partly or all the way, try to apply it again or apply a new patch. If it was loose less than 24 hours, no other form of birth control is needed. If the patch has peeled away for more than 24 hours, apply a new patch and start a new cycle. A second form of birth control should be used.
If the patch is not sticky or has stuck to material or itself, remove it and apply a new patch. Do not hold the patch in place with tape or wraps.
If you are switching from a contraceptive pill to using the patch, start the patch on the first day of your period. If you do not start your period after 5 days, you see your doctor for a pregnancy test. If you start the patch later than the first day of your period, use a second method of birth control with the patch for the first 7 days.
If you have had a baby and are not breastfeeding, you should wait 4 weeks before you start this medicine. If you have not had a period after having your baby, you should make sure you are not pregnant before starting this medicine.
If you have a miscarriage or an abortion in the first trimester of your pregnancy, you may start norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol transdermal right away. You do not need a second form of birth control. If you start this medicine 5 days or more after the miscarriage or abortion, you should use a second form of birth control with the patch for the first 7 days. If you have a miscarriage or abortion after the first trimester, you should wait for 4 weeks before starting this medicine.
If you have bleeding with the patch in place, continue to use the patches as usual. If the bleeding continues for 2–3 cycles, call your doctor. If you do not have your period during the time the patch is off, stay on your regular schedule and call your doctor.
If the patch is uncomfortable or causing irritation, change to a new patch in a new location. Change the patch again on your regular schedule. Do not use more than one patch at a time.
When you remove a patch, carefully fold it in half so that it sticks to itself and throw it away. There will still be some hormones on the patch. Do not touch the inside of the patch.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
Your doctor may begin your patch on the first day of your menstrual period (called Day-1 start) or on Sunday (called Sunday start). When you begin on a certain day it is important that you follow that schedule, even if you forget to change a patch. Do not change your schedule on your own. If the schedule that you have been put on is not convenient, check with your doctor about changing schedules.
Call your doctor or pharmacist for instructions.
Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label if you forget to change your patch. The following information includes only some of the ways to handle this. Your doctor may want you to stop using the medicine and use other birth control methods for the rest of the month until you have your menstrual period. Then your doctor can tell you how to begin using your medicine again. If you forget to apply your patch during the 1st week, apply it as soon as possible and start a new cycle. Use a second form of birth control for the first week of the new cycle. You will now have a new patch start day. If you forget to change your patch in the 2nd or 3rd week for one or two days, change it as soon as you remember. No other form of birth control is needed. If you forget to change your patch in the 2nd or 3rd week for more than two days, change to a new patch and start a new cycle. Use a second form of birth control for the first week of the new cycle. If you forget to remove your patch at the end of the 3rd week, remove it as soon as possible and then start a new patch on your regular start day. You should never have the patch off for more than 7 days in a row.
Store the patches at room temperature in a closed container, away from heat, moisture, and direct light.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
After removing a used patch, fold the patch in half with the sticky sides together. Place it in a child-resistant container or a sealed bag. Make sure to dispose of it out of the reach of children and pets.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure this medicine is working properly and does not cause unwanted effects. These visits will usually be every 6 to 12 months, but some doctors require them more often.
Although you are using this medicine to prevent pregnancy, you should know that using this medicine while you are pregnant could harm the unborn baby. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.
Tell the medical doctor or dentist in charge that you are using this medicine before any kind of surgery (including dental surgery) or emergency treatment. Your doctor will decide whether you should continue using this medicine.
Norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol transdermal may not work as well for you if you weigh more than 198 pounds. Talk to your doctor about the kind of birth control that is best for you.
Vaginal bleeding of various amounts may occur between your regular menstrual periods during the first 3 months of use. This is sometimes called spotting when slight, or breakthrough bleeding when heavier. If this should occur:
Missed menstrual periods may occur:
Check with your doctor if you miss any menstrual periods so that the cause may be determined.
If you suspect that you may have become pregnant, stop using this medicine immediately and check with your doctor.
Using this medicine may increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. Your risk of these serious medical problems is even greater if you smoke cigarettes or if you are over age 35.
You will be exposed to more estrogen if you use this medicine than if you use a typical birth control pill. Increased estrogen exposure may increase the risk of side effects. Talk to your doctor about this risk.
Check with your doctor immediately if you wear contact lenses or if blurred vision, difficulty with reading, or any other change in vision occurs during or after treatment. Your doctor may want you to have your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
Check with your doctor before refilling an old prescription, especially after a pregnancy. You will need another physical examination and your doctor may change your prescription.
Use with caution around small children. The contraceptive patch may be a choking hazard if swallowed by a child.
Make sure any doctor who treats you knows that you are using this medicine. This medicine may affect the results of certain medical tests.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal (e.g., St. John's wort) or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Get emergency help immediately if any of the following symptoms of overdose occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Chess Corner
In 217 B.C., Hannibal led Carthage to victory against the Romans' larger army by attacking from multiple points at the Battle of Cannae. With this hint in mind, please try to find white's winning move.
Black's rook on a8 is unguarded. White's bishop on f3 is on the same diagonal but is blocked by its own pawn on e4. White wins by advancing the e4 pawn to e5.
The e5 pawn attacks black's bishop on f6, and the bishop's attack against black's rook on a8 is unveiled. Black's best reply is to take white's e5 pawn with its d6 pawn. White's bishop captures black's rook, followed by black's e5 pawn capturing white's knight on d4. White now hops its c3 knight to d5, which rains down terror on black's position like arrows from Hannibal's forces.
If black tries to counterattack by moving, for example, the f6 bishop to h4, attacking white's e1 rook, white ignores the threat and captures black's d4 pawn with its queen. The bishop cannot capture the rook because of the queen-king fork on f6, which is left unguarded if the bishop takes the rook. White is poised to destroy black, as if they were so many Romans at Cannae.
Black's best reply to the knight hop to d5 is to retreat its f6 bishop to g7. White then pushes its f5 pawn to f6, forcing the bishop to retreat again, this time to f8, where it protects its knight on c5. White's queen takes black pawn on d4.
White is up in the exchange. More important, white's superior position, including the powerful pawn on f6, is crushing. A devastating check by the knight from e7 is in the air.
The lesson this week, as demonstrated by Hannibal more than 2,000 years ago, is that a well-timed attack from multiple points can defeat even the most formidable enemy.
