America's Nanny-in-Chief is at it again. Ray LaHood, a former Republican Congressman and now Transportation Secretary in the Obama Administration, is considering a ban on any use of a cell phone while driving.
"I don't want people talking on phones, having them up to their ear or texting while they're driving," LaHood explained in an interview last week with Bloomberg. This and other public statements by LaHood make clear it is his personal view that people should not talk on the phone at all while driving, that is the basis for his anti-cell phone zealotry. The draconian ban LaHood is contemplating would extend even to hands-free sets and new technologies being developed by struggling American automakers to attract new buyers.
LaHood's crusades against what he perceives as social ills includes bans on texting while driving and mandating seats belts on schools buses. But this latest trial balloon of his, which comes at the same time President Barack Obama is traveling the country promoting a $50 billion infrastructure initiative that includes ambitious plans for high speed rail, is beyond the pale and is the latest of his attempts to "coerce people out of their cars."
As counterintuitive as it may sound, a study published earlier this year by the Highway Loss Data Institute shows that cell phone bans in three states and the District of Columbia did not lead to less accidents. The laws did, however, increase use of hands-free devices.
Even with a lack of consensus, however, LaHood still has powers at his disposal with which to coerce states into accepting this latest draconian policy of his; such as withholding federal highway funds, much like the federal government did to force states to comply with the nationally-mandated drinking age in the 80's.
While it is being disguised as a feel good crusade to make us safer, this is the latest example of intrusion by the federal government into an issue that should solely be left to states to decide.

If you had almost been hit on a motorcycle by a driver totally absorbed by his cell phone conversation,
you might see this issue differently.
Also, I have seen people texting while driving being totally oblivious to their surroundings.
Maybe if one of Bob Barr's family members were killed by one of these distracted self absorbed drivers, he might feel differently.
He is just the typical Republican who cares nothing for his fellow members of society and is piling on Washington, just to have something to do.

I'm not certain this is some anti-driver conspiracy. I would personally favor a ban on cell phone use by drivers while a vehicle is in motion. It has nothing to do with "hands-free" devices; that cop-out is the territory of the ignorant who don't understand that when the mind is on a conversation and not on the driving, the driver might as well be watching a football game. Ask any skilled driving instructor about the issue. I agree that people should be free to kill themselves if they want. But sometimes the killing includes me and others like me who will not get on a cell phone while driving. If a cell phone conversation is so important, let the driver pull off the road, turn off the engine, and talk to his heart's content. But he should not be permitted to endanger the rest of us.

This is one gov't intrusion I can support. We've all got our favorite cell phone in-the-zone stories from out on the roads, but I think my personal fave is from several years ago on 400 Northbound just past Sandy Springs. I was driving along, behind and to the right of a woman drivin and yackin. She had her left blinker on but began drifting over into the lane to her RIGHT, right in front of me, completely oblivious. With so many people driving around half-zonked (yes, I've been hit by one–woman blasted off from a STOP sign and slammed into me as I was passing in front of her on Atlanta Country Club Drive) on prescription drugs now, the last thing we need are cell phones, gps, TV's etc., etc. I've had cell phones in the past, but have dumped them. No c phones for me believe it or not. People have clearly become addicted to using these things, yakking for the most trivial of reasons, endlessly. Now, with Web access on them and all the other bells and whistles, they are an unstoppable force and everybody sooooooo neeeeeeeeeds them. All pretty sad.

Cellphone banning laws are a placebo. Only put in place to make people feel better. As was pointed out, studies showed that it doesn't decrease accidents. Additionally, phones are NOT the only distractors. If you're going to ban phones in cars, you should also be banning eating while driving, talking to other people in the car with you while driving, applying make-up while driving, reading while driving, watching movies while driving, and listening to your radio while driving. All of those things are also distractions.

@Mark. While we're at, let's utilize some big brother government heavy hand, and slap some sense into your selfish, nonconformist, late 20th Century, minnie-me, mindset! Oh but not the least…ban Mark!

So what is the difference in carrying on a conversation with a passanger in your car than talking on a hands free phone? Some people are to stupid to live.
I don't need the government to survive everyday life, but the government needs me for it to survive.
No worker can talk on the phone and type on a computer at the same time either. No talking on the phone while you are cooking dinner because you might burn down the kicthen.
If you want to stop traffic accidents why not make all cars have a breathilizer on them so drunks can't drive. Now, that would make a difference.
October 13th, 2010

I think that when people are driving, they need to be focused one thing and that is DRIVING. If anyone were to ever hit me while they were driving and talking on the phone, texting, surfing the web, etc. (and I would subpoena their phone records if necessary ) I would take them to court and sue them for neglect (in their driving) and endangerment and take every dollar they have to their name. And no I am not a lawyer, just a person who has had too many near misses with too many dumbass drivers oblivious to thier surroundings while yakking away on the phone.

Bob, in the 4th paragraph, first sentence, don't you mean "fewer accidents" instead of "less accidents"?
October 13th, 2010
7:23 am
well, if we're shutting down our brains to "think of the children" we'll have to ban them from cars too – they're 10x the distraction a hands-free call is ("HE'S TOUCHING ME!" "HER HAND'S ON MY SIDE!" "HE KICKED ME!" "SHE HIT ME 1ST!")
October 13th, 2010
7:30 am
No kids in car seats are allowed in a car unless there are 2 parents/adults( over21). I small child in a car is too distracting for the driver so there has to be an adult to take care of the child. No car can have more than 2 children in it because 3 kids will be screaming and jumping around in the back of the vehicle and cause a distracrtion to the driver.
You people better be real scared. I drive all over Atlanta All Day in a Dump Truck talking on the phone all the time doing business.
Some people can do more than 1 thing and be good at it.
I can have sex, talk dirty at the same time all while watching a football game on TV.
People we don't need more government in our lives. How the F would any of you people made it on the frontier in say the 1860's?

Hey Joseph, I was hit by a car, but the guy wasn't talking or texting on a phone, he was tring to find a radio station on his radio, wanna ban radios from cars??

October 13th, 2010

There are already laws in place covering this. It's very simple. Reckless Driving.
The problem is enforcement by a cop that is himself, engrossed in their cell phone conversation, or even texting themselves.
We don't need a law for everything. Enforce the ones on the books.
We need a law that bans new laws, until the ones on the books are actually enforced.

Hey I know… let's just ban all conversation with the driver. Even the passengers inside the car. That's about how much sense it makes to ban hands free devices.
October 13th, 2010
7:44 am
Another thought.
Since these car things are very dangerous. Let's just ban them. Dust off the horses and carriages….uh oh, those are dangerous too, scratch that. Someone will get kicked or thrown from their horse, while eating a hamburger in the saddle. Then, it's lawyer time all over again.
Wait a minute, I got it. Let's ban all concourse of humans. If we don't interact with the environment, we will all be safe and snuggled in our lawyer free space. Free at last!

There are already laws against distracted driving. What's needed is consequences to bad behavior. I favor summary executions. The sight of a driver being shot at the side of the road (texting his last tweet and testament) might cause others to reconsider if they really need to let their friends know that they'll be there in seven minutes instead of six.
October 13th, 2010
7:53 am
You Are Wrong. It is our right to get hammered falling down drunk and get in a car that doesn't have a built-in Breathealizer and kill people.
Can you not drive and carry on a conversation with a passanger in your car and not have a wreck?
Have you people seen CASH CAB? The TV gameshow in a NY city cab. If the cabbie can do that and not wreck I think I can handle driving and talking on a phone.
October 13th, 2010
7:54 am
Well Bob have no worries abt. cell phone use, you may not be able to text in Georgia but you can still text your newest "young thing" while driving in all the other states AND if you're lucky, (which since Viagara has come out you've been having a streak lately), you can even get a sextext back from her!! (Well, as long as her homework is done and her mom doesn't find out…….)

This is a stock retort to this issue. The mind dynamics of talking to a person in the car with you is different from talking to a person not physically present, but somewhere else. It's "too" btw.
" No talking on the phone while you are cooking dinner because you might burn down the kicthen."
Poor analogy. Driving a car and preparing dinner at home are completely different situations. Driving requires more alertness and gives far less wiggle room with time for reaction.
"If you want to stop traffic accidents why not make all cars have a breathilizer on them so drunks can't drive. Now, that would make a difference."
Good idea, but not practical because statistically, far, far more drivers will yack and drive than will get into their car drunk.

In addition to the yacking distraction, don't forget the preparation. A lot of times I see the idiots fiddling around with their damn monkey toy long before they start the yack–pressing buttons, checking voice mail etc. I've seen it a hundred times. They start to weave, usually slow down, sit at green lights….most people are simply too dendrite challenged to drive and play with their toys at the same time. Lots are not good drivers even WITHOUT the distractions.

what talk about ban the cell phone – would love to add to the list
start with cb that truckers use while driving
then there the walkie talkie workers etc use
reading newspaper or magazine truckers due or even in vehicles
eating with hands and drive with knees
talking with hands off the wheel
this is only a few listings i am sure we could list a whole lot more
worse one is the drunk and wrong way driver

Motocross Survivor,
Just do what everyone else does. If you are hit by someone on a cell phone, texting, etc…, just beat the crap out of them…if you are not dead or being loaded into am ambulance.
You ought to try it sometime. It makes you feel much better, punching the dweeb texter multiple times.
October 13th, 2010

For those who oppose a ban on cell phone use while driving, here's an alternative.
Whenever a driver is at fault in an accident causing injuries or fatalities, require the authorities to check his/her cell phone records to determine if he or she was on the phone at the time. Then implement mandatory prison time and mandatory steep fines for the cell phone use at the time of accidents. And I mean years in prison and tens of thousands of dollars in fines.
Just be prepared to build and staff a lot of jails.
As for the nanny state Bob mentions in every post, sadly it is very clear that an awful lot of Americans NEED nannies, being unable to make responsible decisions for themselves. While I don't think the government is up to the challenge, it is easy to understand why the trend is to more restrictions. American citizens are irresponsible and selfish and we don't want anyone to get in the way of our rights, no matter how adversely they affect others.

@Shaggy Tell us something. Just what is the content of most of your yacking while on your c phone? My guess is most of it is of the "hey, whatcha doin" variety. Now that's really living! Tell me something else; just what did you yackers DO just a few years ago when these things didn't exist? How in the world did you survive????
October 13th, 2010

I must admit this is a libertarian conundrum for me. sure, life, liberty and the…, but fact is, most folks can't handle freedom (well, the responsibility that comes with it). how much cell phone in car use provides 'general Welfare' etc.?

We need to ban video games. They are making our children Fat, Stupid, and Violent.

I even go and find people that are just walking and talking on a cell phone and beat the crap out of them too. It sharpens the skills for those times when they are needed.

If the research indicates a ban on cellphones has no effect on the number of auto accidents, then we don't a ban. Certainly not at the federal level too.

A woman in an Expedition with South Carolina plates nearly hit me yesterday as she drifted into my lane on I-85 as I commuted home. I moved to another lane and she did it again farther up the road. When I finally got abreast of her car I could see her head was down, she was not looking at the road, and she was texting! Are there highway signs at the Georgia border that inform drivers that it is against the law to text in Georgia? In my opinion all non emergency cell phone use should be banned. Everyday I see cars randomly speeding up and slowing down, weaving or drifting into other lanes, and if I pass by them they are usually on their cell talking or texting. I already had my car totaled when someone plowed into me when I was at a full stop in traffic on I-85. I don't know if the guy was on his cell, but he sure wasn't paying attention. Distracted drivers are dangerous to everyone around them, and cell phones are huge distractions. We would all be safer on the road if all non emergency cell phone use was banned, no matter who passes the law, feds or states.

I believe passengers should be banned from cars; all that needless chatter in the car distracts the driver. No radios… too much noise. And kids… no kids in the car. They scream, they fight, they throw things. Perhaps the driver should be locked in an isolation chamber where they are protected from the outside world… oh wait, they already are. Or at least, they seem to think so…

We always hear that small expenses can really add up, but sometimes that's hard to visualize. So, we've found a way that just might do the trick: The Rule of 752.
What's that? It's about helping you save for retirement by using some simple math. Sounds boring, but really, it's a bit exciting. The Rule of 752 gives you a ballpark idea about how cutting back on a little spending can turn into big savings.
But first a little background: This formula was created by a man who runs a money-saving blog called, "Mr. Money Mustache."
He's used this to keep himself on the budgeting track. This is a man who retired -get this- at 30.
Let's see how it works by starting with that morning, to-go coffee. If you buy a latte every day, that's about three bucks. Every day. But what would happen if you invested that money? I mean, it's only $3, right?
This is really simple. That $3 you spend turns into $21 week. This is what we're going to boil down for you - finding out what that $21 a week would look like if you invested it instead - assuming an eight-percent return on that investment - over 10 years.
$21 X 752 = $15,792 for retirement.
Let that sink in.
Now, let's try it again.
Everyone looks at their cable bill and thinks about how to cut it back. The average cable bill is $80. Let's see what happens if you invested that money instead.
Weekly it's $20, so -- $20 X 752 = $15,040 in retirement savings.
Now here's the key: If you cut an expense, you have to save it. Take that $21 a week and move it to your 401K.
Have fun with this. Start doing some math. Take that monthly checking account fee. What would that look like invested? How about the interest on those credit cards? Remember that $3 latte and that $80 cable bill, if invested, would be about $31,000 in retirement savings.
And here are two more budget blogs to put into your mix of daily reading: Mr. Money Mustache and Dough Roller.

As the EPA begins its decades-long superfund clean-up of the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, NY, a landscape architect has plans to make the area a beautiful, natural sponge for storm water runoff. The designs for creating the Sponge Park out of the 1.8-mile long canal was just approved by the city's Design Commission on January 30.
The first phase of the park has begun, which will include a series of visit web site levitra overnite bioswales leading up to http://www.privateeryachts.com/cost-of-viagra a bioretention basin at the end of Second Street. These initial natural elements will allow the park to absorb 4,500 cubic feet of water from Second Street on a rainy day, which easily meets the free levitra demands of nine out of 10 typical storms that shower New York, without the need for costly new underground tunnels and tanks. The cost of traditional storm water infrastructure upgrades is a major motivation for the city to try and implement some new, greener options.
The next phase will include planting a variety of plant species that can handle large amounts of rain, periodic drought and also help remediate the toxicity of levitra pill the soil surrounding the site. Some of the species that have been chosen include tulip poplars, northern blueflag iris, holly, yarrow, honey locust, American sweetgum, switchgrass, sunflowers and sassafras. The plants will not only serve a great environmental benefit, but also make the current eyesore a nice place to take a walk.
The Gowanus Canal could be just one of 100 of these sponge parks put in place throughout the city over the next 20 years, which could save the www.tedxamsterdamed.nl city $2.4 billion over traditional storm water infrastructure.

In the weeks and months after his wife disappeared from their West Valley City home, Josh Powell made few public statements about his whereabouts that night and what might have happened to Susan. These comments by Josh Powell and his father Steve Powell, compiled from various media interviews by Salt Lake Tribune reporter Brooke Adams, directly addressed those topics. (Some questions posed by media are paraphrased.)
Editor's note: The following is part of a collection of information available at The Salt Lake Tribune's newly created "Where is Susan?" page: www.sltrib.com/findsusan.
Share a tip
Susan Powell was 28 years old when she disappeared from her home at 6254 W. Sarah Circle, West Valley City, Utah, 84128. She is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, 130 lbs., with long, brown hair and blue eyes. If you have information related to her disappearance, contact West Valley City police at 801-840-4000. If you have information that should be considered for inclusion on the "Where is Susan?" page or a tip that might help answer what happened to her, email it to "email@example.com." If verified, information may be added to this page at the discretion of The Salt Lake Tribune.

• Josh Powell cried at times during this interview with media, including KTVX Channel 4, which took place on the doorstep of the couple's West Valley City, Utah, home on Dec. 14, 2009:
"I just miss her. I love her. My boys love her. A lot of people love her. She's just wonderful. All I can ask is that anyone who can, just help us try to find her. I'm just trying to do that."
Q. Any clue where she is?
"I don't even have a clue."
[Turning to enter his home] "I've got to go get my boys.
Q. How are they?
"They're doing okay. I just have to go get my boys. Thank you for the support. That's all I can say, thank you for the support."
• Chris Jones of KUTV Channel 2 interviewed Josh Powell outside his West Valley City, Utah, home on Dec. 18, 2009:
Q. How are you doing. I know this has been difficult for you. What's been going through your mind today?
"Well, I've been trying to figure out what I can do, so I don't sit idle. Dealing with this [media interviews] repeatedly. I was just going to go in and get my kids."
Q. How are the boys doing?
"They've been doing good, as far as I can tell."
Q. How about you?
"People have been really helpful and supportive, so it's been really hard, but you just have to keep going."
Q. What can you tell us about that night?
"A lot of times, I just go camping with my boys — not anything big, I just go overnight and we do 'smores and stuff like that. And so I just went with the boys. I was planning to do some 'smores in the morning. And never did. And then when we got home — well, on the way home I found out that people were worried about us and people were missing."
Q. Was it unusual for you to not call into work?
"No, it's not usual. You know, I was somehow thinking that it was Sunday. I didn't go to church. And I just missed a day. Drove to come back Sunday."Next Page >

BD - "Frantic game off football that could have gone either way"
Billy Davies is now on his way to the presser...
DF - "We had Forest rattled at the end. That was due to our commitment to play good football and put them under pressure"
DF - "I was disappointed for both sets of fans about the amount of time-wasting that took place and feel it needs to be stamped on, but overall I thought the referee had a good game"
DF - "It looks like a little tweak in the back of his hamstring but we will have a closer look at it on Monday" - regarding Beckford injury
DF - "I am delighted for the response of the players after the setback in the first-half"

Moritz, Lee and Davies all try and find space for a shot but when the ball finds its way to Ngog he digs one out but it is an easy save for Darlow
Moritz's corner lands straight in the hands of Darlow
The ball works its way to Baptiste on the right and his cross is blocked behind for a corner
Spearing's cross evades the only man in the box - Ngog - and goes out for a goalkick
It takes a big tackle from Spearing to break up some fluent Forest play
Jara has now took up the part of the pantomime villain - boo'ed on every touch
Jara goes down very easily under pressure from Moritz much to the anger of the Wanderers fans

17,046 is todays official attendance
Lansbury started the 'dummy' run and back-healed the free-kick to Reid, who then attempted to pass back to Lansbury but the ex-Arsenal man halted his run and the ball ran behind
What a mix-up that was - a training routine gone completely wrong as the ball trickles behind for a goalkick

Ream's cross form the elft is met by the leaping Ngog at the back-post but Darlow is there again to keep the game level
Bolton kept the ball well and Chungy took it upon himself to test Darlow but the goalkeeper was equal to the effort
There will be a minimum of three minutes added

Looks like Beckford picked up a knock in that build-up play and may have to come off

Speraring gifts the ball to Halford inside the Bolton area but fortunately for him Knight was on hand to clear the danger
Danns tease's three Forest defenders in the box and hits the deck but the referee waves away his half-hearted protests
Knight is flattened by Halford jumping for the ball, but after a short break he is back on his feet with no physio required
The ball falls to Ngog in the box but with a number of bodies in his way he could only direct in down to the 'keepers left and Darlow anticipated and made the save

Beckford does superbly to bring down Danns' dinked ball and shrugged off a defender before drawing a foul 30-yards out

Forest get the first-half underway
The teams are heading out of the tunnel, kick-off is only moments away!
The referee for todays game is Michael Naylor from South Yorkshire and he most recently officiated the Wanderers in their penultinate game of last season when they travelled to Cardiff
It is starting to look like Forest could have a strong following today with the whole of the gradually filling
No Moritz could mean a little more freedom for Mark Davies, who will be making his third start of the season
And Tom Eaves starts for Shrewsbury away to MK Dons
On the loan front, Keith Andrews has a starting spot for Brighton as they host Birmingham

@MarcIles 1-0 Forest. We haven't beaten a team in the top 10 all season. I can see it being the same as the home defeats to QPR and Leeds.— @HallsworthBWFC 11 January 2014
Here are a few of the fans' thoughts...
Prediction time - I'm going for 1-1. There are few more pessimistic people around the press box, I don't mind telling you.
Both DF and Zat Knight make note of the fact Wednesay marks the third anniversary of the great Nat Lofthouse's passing.
DF: Here's hoping we can tee up a hugely significant week in our club's history with a good performance and a victory this afternoon.
ZK: I am sure Nat is looking down on Bolton Wanderers Football Club and as the Bolton captain I would like to send our prayers to Nat, his family and friends. As a club we need to stay together.
Teams are around half an hour away from being announced - but a here's few notes from the matchday programme tp keep us going.
Good afternoon folks - nice bright afternoon here at the Reebok. Welcome back to Matchday Live.
We'll be back at around 1.30pm tomorrow with all the pre-match build up. Tweet @MarcIles with any pre-match questions or predictions.
The Matchday Live kick-by-kick text commentary service will begin at 3pm.
First Division
Wanderers 4 Nottingham Forest 2
No player has scored more goals against Nottingham Forest than the legendary pre-war striker Joe Smith – but two thirds of his total of six strikes arrived in one solitary game back in 1923.
Smith was the Dudley-born striker who had hit double figures for Wanderers in nine consecutive seasons to this point – including two massive hauls of 36 and 38 goals in 1914/15 and 1920/21.
A few months later Smith would become the first captain to lift the FA Cup at Wembley as Wanderers beat West Ham United in the famous White Horse Final.
First Division
Forest 0 Wanderers 2
Wanderers found incredible form on the road under Sam Allardyce in the 2000/01 season, winning a club record 14 games.
Dean Holdsworth put the Whites on their way to one of the most important ones at the City Ground, with his 200th career goal.
Gareth Farrelly scored the second – and the Irishman would not score again for the Whites until he opened the scoring against Preston North End at Millennium Stadium a few months later as a place in the Premier League was secured once again.
FA Cup Third Round
Forest 3 Wanderers 3
They gave away a division in status and a huge gulf in class on paper – but Wanderers walked away from this third round FA Cup tie with their heads held high.
Brian Clough's side were reigning European Champions but had been dumped out at the first round of the 1980/81 competition by Bulgarian minnows CSKA Sofia. They were sitting fifth in the Division One table as they welcomed Wanderers, then 16th in Division Two.
David Hoggan's double showed Forest the Whites meant business but after Forest battled back to lead 3-2, Neil Whatmore scored to earn a replay.
Forest won by a solitary goal at Burnden Park en route to a quarter final exit against Ipswich Town.
John McGovern
Forest - 1975-1982
Wanderers - 1982-1984
McGovern was captain of Brian Clough's legendary Forest side who won the European Cup on two occasions.
The Scot spent seven years at The City Ground, where he also won the First Division title and two League Cups.
In 1982 McGovern left the City Ground to become player-manager at Division Two Wanderers but struggled to make the transition to the lower leagues, and a cash-strapped environment.
Wanderers were relegated to Division Three before he was sacked 16 games into the 1983/84 campaign.
Chris Fairclough
Forest - 1981-1987
Wanderers - 1995-1998
Fairclough began his football career with his home-town club, Nottingham Forest and it was during this spell where the centre back picked up all seven of his England Under-21 caps.
Fairclough also won a league title winner's medal with Leeds United before moving to Burnden Park in 1995.
During his time with Wanderers the reliable defender was involved in two relegations and one promotion between Division One and the Premier League in three seasons.
Dougie Freedman
Forest - 1998-2000
Wanderers - 2012-present
The current Wanderers boss took over from Owen Coyle in October 2012 and this weekend's match will be his 66th in charge of the club.
As a player he signed for Forest in a £950,000 deal on their return to the Premier League under Dave Bassett and scored nine goals as they came straight back down again. He managed 83 appearances and 23 goals in total for the club, leaving for Crystal Palace after an unhappy spell under David Platt in Division One.
The current Wanderers boss signed for Forest on their return to the Premier League in 1998. The former striker managed nine league goals in the top flight and could only repeat that figure upon the club's return to Division One a year later.
Andy Reid
Andy Reid, pictured right, after scoring the first goal against Wanderers earlier this season.
Capable of the sublime, the Irishman has scored in each of his last three starts against Wanderers and continues to make Forest tick.
He leads the club's scoring charts with eight goals in all competitions but also has 10 assists to his name.
Dougie Freedman has no new injury problems but welcomes midfielder Mark Davies back after the illness that kept him out of last week's FA Cup win over Blackpool.
Craig Davies and David Wheater remain out of contention as they come back to full fitness after injury.
Stuart Holden, Marc Tierney, Adam Bogan and Joe Riley are long-term absentees.
Nathaniel Chalobah is back in contention for Nottingham Forest, who denied the midfielder was cup-tied for the 5-0 victory over West Ham last weekend but left him out of the squad completely. Guy Moussi is likely to give way.
Djamel Abdoun will rival Jamie Patterson – who scored a hat-trick against the Hammers - for a place on the left wing.
Long-term absentees include Kelvin Wilson, who is out until February with a back problem, Danny Collins (ankle), Chris Cohen and Dexter Blackstock (both knee)
Likely line-up (4-2-3-1): Darlow; Lichaj, Lascelles, Hobbs, Jara; Lansbury, Vaughan; Mackie, Reid, Patterson; Halford.

Neighbors in a Detroit neighborhood call the Problem Solvers after they say they've been ignored by the city for years. The problem? A sinkhole.
Watch Taryn Asher's full video report above.
It started in an alley and has now spread to a nearby garage. The foundation on the garage is cracking and one side of the building is starting to crumble. As the sinkhole spreads, its starting to attract some unwanted furry visitors.
The city tells the homeowner that because the problem is on her property, she is responsible for the repairs.

Come Into Clarity
Yoga offers powerful self-healing tools for women with breast cancer—from diagnosis and treatment through recovery. How you practice yoga is as important as what you practice, so be sure to:
Balance effort with relaxation.
Treat yourself kindly.
Challenge yourself—but never strain in a pose.
Consult your physician if you have any questions about the appropriateness of any of these postures.
Incorporate any or all of these poses into your daily healing routine, in any order that makes sense to your body and emotions at that moment.
Legs on the Chair Pose (viparita karani)
Lie on your back, and put your legs on a chair in front of you. The chair height should allow your but- tocks and lower back to rest comfortably on the floor. Stay here with your arms outstretched or on your belly for as long as you like, breathing normally (or try the three-part yoga breath below).
Option: Lie on the floor with your legs up the wall instead.
Benefits: Great for insomnia, worry, and nausea.
Fish Pose (matsyasana)
Place two foam blocks on your mat a few inches apart. Rest your head on one, and place the other between your shoulder blades. Open your arms out to the sides, and relax completely, breathing normally (or try the three-part yoga breath below.)
Benefits: Releases tension postmastectomy by stretching the front of the shoulders and chest, and lifting the spirits.
Cow Face Pose (gomukhasana)
Reach your right hand behind your back with palm facing outward, and bend your elbow so your hand is between your shoulder blades. Now, lie down on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Gently roll the shoulder down toward the floor—a very big stretch for those with tight shoulders. If this is too intense, slide your hand down toward the small of your back.
Benefits: Stretches the front of the chest, opens the shoulder, and lifts the spirits.
Eagle Pose (garudasana)
Sit on your heels (or stand up). Bring your right arm underneath your left, and wrap your forearms around each other. You may or may not be able to touch your hands together. Inhale your hands away from your face; exhale your hands toward your face. Do this several times, and reverse arm position (left arm underneath).
Option: Too much of a stretch? Wrap your arms around your chest, and give yourself a hug. Extend your arms out to the side as you inhale; now exhale and give yourself another hug. Reverse arms. Do this several times, adding a smile to your face.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- After weeks of speculation, U.S. Representative Gary Peters announced he will be seeking the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Carl Levin.
Peters sent out an e-mail announcing his decision today and said he will be an independent voice and a tough advocate for Michigan in the Senate. He said he will continue to fight for affordable health care, the middle class and will work to control spending in Washington.
Peters was considered a front-runner for the seat by many Democrats.

Build peace: be on time
My Mom and Dad had written a few words on a paper and hung it on the wall in our kitchen. We grew up watching our parents invite all kinds of people into our home for dinners. Strangers. This included any person who was lost in the airport or someone they found lost on the street....A warm meal, pajamas, a clean bed in the guest room, a bathroom, and the next day after breakfast, often supplied with a gift (usually a sweater or socks), and a map they provided a ride to the train or bus station. Most of those people spoke a foreign tongue that none of us understood. But at the end of Mom and Dad's "hospitality adventure" my parents had added a line to their list on the wall and that person had walked away with theirs. To this day my family receives letters and visits from those travelers and their children and even grand children. Every time we gather together there is "letter" readings and....tears of joy.
The paper on the wall read:
Italian: Ti Amo
German: Ich Liebe Dich
Japanese: Ai Shite Imasu
Chinese: Wo Ai Ni
Swedish: Jag Alskar Dig
Greek: S'Agapo
Hawaiian: Aloha Wau La Oe
Irish: Thaim In Grabh Leat
Hebrew: Ani Ohev Otakh
Persian: Du Stet Daaram
Russian: Ya Lyublyu Tyebya
Albanian: Une Te Dua
Finnish: Mina Rakkastan Sinua
Turkish: Seni Seviyorum
Hungarian: Se Ret Lay
Maltese: Jien Inhobbok
Catalan: Testimo Molt
French: Je t'aime
Spanish: Te Amo
Eskimo: Nagligivaget
English: I love you
Now I wish my parents had learned to say " We love you" instead.
Will you help me rewrite this list and include your language too ??
~~ With Happy New Year Wishes~~

Jan 9 2013: Wau translates as I. La is there. Oe' is not in the dictionary. oe means a prolonged sound as in a whistle. 'oe means to resemble. "oē means to rustle or murmur as in the wind murmuring in the trees.
bottom line. Aloha Wau La Oe' does not make sense to me, but Iʻm only going by the dictionary.
Aloha does not have have any punctuation. No macrons or glottal stops although you often entertainers urge tourists to pronounce it Alōha with the o drawn out and exaggerated. It drives me nuts.
Your folks sound like wonderful people and a lot of that rubbed off on you. Drop me an email note at firstname.lastname@example.com. As you said, it was just luck you found my comment. Iʻm afraid you will get lost in Ted again. Bill

Coffee consumption in hypertensive men in older middle-age and the risk of stroke: the Honolulu Heart Program. Hakim AA; Ross GW; Curb JD; Rodriguez BL; Burchfiel CM; Sharp DS; Yano K; Abbott RD Division of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville 22908, USA. J Clin Epidemiol (England) Jun 1998, 51 (6) p487-94 OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between coffee consumption and the development of stroke in men at high risk for cardiovascular disease. METHODS: Coffee intake was observed from 1965 to 1968 in a cohort of men enrolled in the Honolulu Heart Program with follow-up for incident stroke over a 25-year period. Subjects were 499 hypertensive men (having systolic or diastolic blood pressures at or above 140 and 90 mm Hg, respectively) in older middle-age (55 to 68 years) when follow-up began. Past and current cigarette smokers were excluded from follow-up. RESULTS: In the course of follow-up, 76 men developed a stroke. After age-adjustment, risk of thromboembolic stroke increased significantly with increases in coffee consumption (P = 0.002). No relationships were observed with hemorrhagic stroke. When adjusted for other factors, the risk of thromboembolic stroke was more than doubled for men who consumed three cups of coffee per day as compared to nondrinkers of coffee (RR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.2-3.7). CONCLUSIONS: Although in need of further confirmation, consumption of coffee appears to be positively associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic stroke in hypertensive men in older middle-age. Findings suggest that it may be prudent to advise older middle-aged men with hypertension who consume large amounts of coffee to consider reducing their coffee intake. The white blood cell and plasma fibrinogen in thrombotic stroke. A significant correlation. Belch J; McLaren M; Hanslip J; Hill A; Davidson D University Department of Medicine, Ninewells Hospital & Medical School, Dundee, Scotland. Int Angiol (Italy) Jun 1998, 17 (2) p120-4 OBJECTIVES: Thrombotic stroke is a common disorder with considerable mortality and morbidity. Risk factors for stroke include cigarette smoking, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia and these have been linked to abnormalities of haemorrheology and coagulation such as increased fibrinogen. Other haemorrheological abnormalities have also been documented. These include an elevation in the white blood cell (WBC) count. The aim of our study was to evaluate plasma fibrinogen, WBC aggregation and the release of free radicals in thrombotic stroke. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Thirty-four patients with thrombotic stroke were enrolled in the study. The data were compared to 58 matched controls. SETTING: This study was carried out in Ninewells Hospital, Dundee on patients previously admitted to the medical wards with acute stroke. MEASURES: Plasma fibrinogen, WBC aggregation and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured in this study. RESULTS: As expected, the stroke patients have a significantly higher fibrinogen level (4.3+/-1.2 g/dl versus 3.1+/-0.6, p<0.001). WBC aggregation is also increased in the patient group (47.5+/-10.4% versus 42.7+/-10.6, p=0.036), as is plasma MDA (8.6+/-2.0 micromol/l versus 7.1+/-1.07, p<0.001). The factor VIII von Willebrand factor antigen measured as a marker as vascular damage was also significantly higher in the patient group (251+/-87% versus 182+/-64, p<0.001). There was also a statistically significant correlation between fibrinogen level and WBC aggregation, and fibrinogen and MDA. These are both statistically significant p=0.012 and p<0.001 respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We believe our study suggests that enhanced WBC aggregation/adhesion with release of free radicals may be another mechanism whereby fibrinogen exerts its known detrimental effect in stroke development. This may allow planning of therapeutic strategies as yet undeveloped. Elevated serum glycosaminoglycans with hypomagnesemia in patients with coronary artery disease & thrombotic stroke. Kumari KT; Augustine J; Leelamma S; Kurup PA; Ravikumar A; Sajeesh K; Eapen S; Nair AR; Vijayalekshmi N; Karthikeyan S; et al Department of Biochemistry, University of Kerala. Indian J Med Res (India) Mar 1995, 101 p115-9 Elevated levels of serum glycosaminoglycans (GAG), associated with hypomagnesemia were observed in patients of proven CAD and thrombotic stroke in Kerala. Serum lipid profile was normal in the majority of these patients, indicating that elevated serum GAG may be an even more reliable indicator of atherosclerosis than elevated serum total cholesterol or LDL cholesterol. Autopsy samples of carotid artery and aorta which had atheroma showed significantly higher GAG when compared to samples which showed no atheroma. Serum Mg levels were significantly lower in CAD and thrombotic stroke patients as compared to controls. Mg deficiency may be one of the factors involved in the increased level of GAG. Serum lipids and lipoprotein abnormalities in patients with thrombotic stroke--with exploring the protective role of HDL subfractions. Shieh SM; Shen MM; Tsai WJ; Shiuan LR; Wang DJ Proc Natl Sci Counc Repub China [B] (Taiwan) Oct 1985, 9 (4) p298-304 The main purpose of this report is to demonstrate the presence of subfractions in serum HDL and to explore their role in the pathogenesis of thrombotic stroke Preparative untracentrifugation was used to isolate the differing density fractions of serum lipoproteins, and 2-27% polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis was used to identify the character of the HDL subfractions. The study was performed on 59 Chinese males, in whom 31 were patients with thrombotic stroke affecting the cerebral cortex diagnosed by neurological examination and computed tomography; and the others grouped as healthy control. The age and Broca index of both groups were similar. The serum levels of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were normal. However, in the thrombotic stroke group HDL-cholesterol was significantly lower and correlated inversely with both significantly higher levels of VLDL-cholesterol (r=-0.5392, p less than 0.01) and VLDL-triglyceride (r=-0.5866, p less than 0.01). The serum levels of total triglycerides and LDL-triglyceride were also significantly higher in patient with thrombotic stroke. The mean area percentage of HDL2b subfraction measured in the diameter range as determined by gradient gel electrophoresis was significantly lower and HDL2 also showed the same tendency in patients with thrombotic stroke. Our finding was consistent with the postulation that HDL2 or HDL2b in in particular, probably played a more protective role than any other HDL subfractions against thrombotic stroke, one of the major atherosclerotic complications. Effect of piracetam on recovery and rehabilitation after stroke: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Enderby P, Broeckx J, Hospers W, Schildermans F, Deberdt W Speech and Language Therapy Research Unit, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, England. Clin Neuropharmacol 1994 Aug;17(4):320-31 The nootropic agent piracetam has been shown to improve learning and memory, and it may, by this means, facilitate recovery and rehabilitation after a stroke. We report the results of a pilot study exploring its effects in patients undergoing rehabilitation after acute cerebral infarction in the carotid artery territory. We compared piracetam and placebo, each given for 12 weeks, in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized trial of parallel-group design; testing was performed at baseline (6-9 weeks poststroke), weeks 5 and 12, and, in fewer patients, 12 weeks after termination of treatment. Standardized tests of activities of daily living (Barthel Index, Kuriansky Test), aphasia (Aachen Aphasia Test), and perception (Rivermead Perception Assessment Battery) were the primary efficacy variables. Of 158 patients, 137 (81 males, 56 females) were studied after treatment and 88 at 24-week follow-up. Thirty patients on piracetam (45%) and 37 on placebo (53%) were aphasic on entry. Both groups, including the subgroups with aphasia, were well matched at baseline for demographic data, stroke sequelae, type and severity of aphasia, and prognostic parameters. Multivariate analysis of Aachen Aphasia subtest scores showed a significant overall improvement relative to baseline in favor of piracetam (p = 0.02) at 12 weeks. This was not seen at 24 weeks when, however, fewer patients were available for evaluation so that we could neither confirm nor deny whether improvement was maintained after cessation of piracetam. We were unable to demonstrate an effect on tests of activities of daily living and could neither confirm nor exclude an effect on perceptual deficit. We have shown an improvement in aphasia in patients undergoing rehabilitation after a stroke after 12 weeks' treatment with piracetam that requires confirmation in further studies. The role of piracetam in the treatment of acute and chronic aphasia. Huber W Department of Neurology and School of Logopedics, Rheinisch-Westfalische Hochschule (RWTH), Aachen, Germany. Pharmacopsychiatry 1999 Mar;32 Suppl 1:38-43 Piracetam has been shown to improve speech in aphasic patients. This paper reviews the evidence for this benefit in aphasic patients with acute stroke and, in conjunction with language treatment, in post-acute and chronic aphasia. Early double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in acute stroke showed improvement in several neurologic parameters including aphasia. Subsequently two randomized double-blind placebo-controlled studies were performed which utilised the Aachen Aphasia Test (AAT), a validated and standardized procedure, to assess language function. Patients received placebo or piracetam 4.8g daily for 12 weeks in one study and for 6 weeks in the other. In both studies patients received concomitant intensive speech therapy; one included patients 6-9 weeks after stroke while in the other the duration of aphasia varied between 4 weeks and 3 years. Compared with placebo there was improvement in both studies on piracetam in all 5 subtests of the AAT and significant overall improvement in aphasia. This indicated that, given in conjunction with language therapy, piracetam improved speech in patients with post-acute and chronic aphasia. In the Piracetam in Acute Stroke Study (PASS), of 927 patients treated within 12 hours of the onset of acute ischemic stroke, 373 were aphasic. Treatment consisted of placebo or an intravenous bolus of 12g piracetam, 12g piracetam daily for 4 weeks and 4.8 g daily for a further 8 weeks. After 12 weeks significantly more patients (approximately 10%, P=0.04) had recovered from aphasia on piracetam than placebo while in 197 patients treated within 7 hours of stroke onset, the difference in favor of piracetam was 16% (P= 0.02). These studies indicate that piracetam improves aphasia in acute stroke and, as an adjuvant to language therapy, in post-acute and chronic aphasia. The clinical safety of high-dose piracetam--its use in the treatment of acute stroke. De Reuck J, Van Vleymen B Department of Neurology, University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium. Pharmacopsychiatry 1999 Mar;32 Suppl 1:33-7 Recent post-marketing surveillance reports have confirmed the benign safety profile and lack of organ toxicity shown by piracetam during its 25 years of clinical usage. Tolerance has proved equally good with the more recent use of larger doses (up to 24 g/day) for the long-term control of cortical myoclonus and when given intravenously to patients with acute stroke. This paper provides a brief review of these findings and records the safety of piracetam as found in the Piracetam in Acute Stroke Study (PASS), a randomized multicenter placebo-controlled study in 927 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Patients receive one intravenous bolus injection of placebo or 12 g piracetam, piracetam 12 g daily for 4 weeks and maintenance treatment for 8 weeks. The major results have been reported (De Deyn et al., Stroke 28 [1997] 2347-2352). Safety was assessed taking into account adverse events including abnormal laboratory test results and mortality. Death within 12 weeks occurred more frequently in the piracetam group but the difference from placebo was not significant. Of many potential risk, prognostic and treatment-related factors examined by logistic regression, 6 contributed significantly to death of which the most important were initial severity of stroke and age. Neither treatment nor any treatment-related factor contributed significantly to death. Adverse events were similar in frequency, type and severity in piracetam and placebo groups. Events of cerebral, non-cerebral and uncertain origin likewise occurred with similar frequency. Few patients discontinued because of adverse events. There was no difference between treatments in the frequency of events associated with bleeding, including hemorrhagic transformation of infarction. An important finding was that, of 31 patients with primary hemorrhagic stroke enrolled, 3 piracetam-treated patients died compared with 6 on placebo. The results suggest that piracetam in high dosage may be given to patients with acute stroke without significant adverse effects. Neuroprotective therapy. Hickenbottom SL, Grotta J Department of Neurology, University of Texas at Houston Medical School, 77030, USA. Semin Neurol 1998;18(4):485-92 The concept of neuroprotection relies on the principle that delayed neuronal injury occurs after ischemia. The phenomenon of the "ischemic cascade" has been described, and each step along this cascade provides a target for therapeutic intervention. In animal models of global and focal cerebral ischemia, numerous preclinical studies have demonstrated various agents to be neuroprotective at different steps along this cascade. A wide variety of drugs has also been studied in humans. Ten classes of neuroprotective agents have reached phase III efficacy trials but have shown mixed results. They include calcium channel antagonists, NMDA receptor antagonists, lubeluzole, CDP-choline, the free radical scavenger tirilizad, anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) antibody, GM-1 ganglioside, clomethiazole, the sodium channel antagonist fosphenytoin, and piracetam. In the future, clinicians may have an armamentarium of treatments for acute ischemic stroke at their disposal, with a combination of agents directed at different sites in the ischemic cascade being the ultimate goal. Acute treatment of stroke. PASS group. Piracetam Acute Stroke Study. De Deyn PP, Orgogozo JM, De Reuck J Lancet 1998 Jul 25;352(9124):326 No abstract. [Piracetam treatment in ischemic stroke]. Tomczykiewicz K, Domzal T Kliniki Neurologicznej Centralnego Szpitala Klinicznego Wojskowej Akademii Medycznej, Warszawie. Neurol Neurochir Pol 1997 Nov-Dec;31(6):1101-9 Comment on Lancet 1998 May 16;351(9114):1447-8 The increase of interest in piracetam in the treatment of stroke has been noticed lately. The reason of that is the unique double-action of this drug which depends on: 1. its effect on vascular system, and 2. improving of the metabolic process in a nerve cell. The purpose of our work was the evaluation of the therapeutic action of piracetam in comparison with other drugs, which are applied in treating stroke. 171 patients were examined, and piracetam was given to 40 of them. The effects of the treatment were evaluated after 14 days of using piracetam in dose of 12.0 g i.v. The authors estimate, that this drug is efficient in ischaemic stroke. However, its definite superiority over other drugs has not been firmly stated. Treatment of acute ischemic stroke with piracetam. Members of the Piracetam in Acute Stroke Study (PASS) Group. De Deyn PP, Reuck JD, Deberdt W, Vlietinck R, Orgogozo JM Department of Neurology, Middelheim Hospital, Antwerp, Belgium. Stroke 1997 Dec;28(12):2347-52 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Piracetam, a nootropic agent with neuroprotective properties, has been reported in pilot studies to increase compromised regional cerebral blood flow in patients with acute stroke and, given soon after onset, to improve clinical outcome. We performed a multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial to test whether piracetam conferred benefit when given within 12 hours of the onset of acute ischemic stroke to a large group of patients. METHODS: Patients received placebo or 12 g piracetam as an initial intravenous bolus, 12 g daily for 4 weeks and 4.8 g daily for 8 weeks. The primary end point was neurologic outcome after 4 weeks as assessed by the Orgogozo scale. Functional status at 12 weeks as measured by the Barthel Index was the major secondary outcome. CT scan was performed within 24 hours of the onset of stroke but not necessarily before treatment. Analyses based on the intention to treat were performed in all randomized patients (n = 927) and in an "early treatment" population specified in the protocol as treatment within 6 hours of the onset of stroke but subsequently redefined as less than 7 hours after onset (n = 452). RESULTS: In the total population, outcome was similar with both treatments (the mean Orgogozo scale after 4 weeks: piracetam 57.7, placebo 57.6; the mean Barthel Index after 12 weeks: piracetam 55.8, placebo 53.1). Mortality at 12 weeks was 23.9% (111/464) in the piracetam group and 19.2% (89/463) in the placebo group (relative risk 1.24, 95% confidence interval, 0.97 to 1.59; P = .15). Deaths were fewer in the piracetam group in those patients in the intention-to-treat population admitted with primary hemorrhagic stroke. Post hoc analyses in the early treatment subgroup showed differences favoring piracetam relative to placebo in mean Orgogozo scale scores after 4 weeks (piracetam 60.4, placebo 54.9; P = .07) and Barthel Index scores at 12 weeks (piracetam 58.6, placebo 49.4; P = .02). Additional analyses within this subgroup, confined to 360 patients with moderate and severe stroke (initial Orgogozo scale score < 55), showed significant improvement on piracetam in both outcomes (P < .02). CONCLUSIONS: Piracetam did not influence outcome when given within 12 hours of the onset of acute ischemic stroke. Post hoc analyses suggest that piracetam may confer benefit when given within 7 hours of onset, particularly in patients with stroke of moderate and severe degree. A randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study, the Piracetam Acute Stroke Study II (PASS II) will soon begin. [Factors influencing the prescribing of nootropic drugs. Results of a representative inquiry in Lower Saxony]. [Article in German] Stoppe G, Sandholzer H, Staedt J, Kiefer J, Winter S, Kochen MM, Ruther E Psychiatrische Klinik und Poliklinik, Universitat Gottingen. Dtsch Med Wochenschr 1995 Nov 24;120(47):1614-9 AIM OF INVESTIGATION: To discover (1) to what extent patients' wishes and the extent of any abnormality of brain performance influence the frequency with which "nootropic" drugs (those thought to affect brain activity, e.g. piracetam, pyritinol, or improve cerebral circulation, e.g. xanthine derivatives, Ginkgo biloba, secale alkaloids, calcium antagonists) are prescribed; (2) the medical practitioner's expectations of the effectiveness of such medications. METHOD: In a personal interview, 145 family doctors and 14 neurologists in private practice in the Gottingen area of Germany (participation rate: 83.2% of those asked to participate) were questioned about fictitious cases (case 1: mild memory problem with or without expressed wish for medication; case 2: moderate dementia, of Alzheimer or multi-infarct type). The previously arranged interviews, which took place in the doctors' practice rooms, consisted of standardized open questions to the written case reports. RESULTS: Regardless of the wish of the patient and the extent and type of the abnormal brain function about 70% of all participating doctors would prescribe those drugs, even though about 56% had doubts about their effectiveness. About 28% expected a positive effect on brain performance. A nearly equal proportion of doctors would continue an existing drug regimen as would prescribe one. CONCLUSION: The prescription of the named group of drugs is influenced less by medical criteria than by factors which concern doctor-patient relationship. tPA in acute ischemic stroke: United States experience and issues for the future. Alberts MJ Stroke Acute Care Unit, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA. Neurology 1998 Sep;51(3 Suppl 3):S53-5 The approval of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for treatment of patients with ischemic stroke in the United States marked the first therapy proven to reverse or limit the effects of an acute stroke. Despite this approval and the lack of an alternative therapy, the use of tPA in stroke has been quite low. Several explanations for this underutilization have been identified, including lack of patient awareness, potential complications, infrastructure deficiencies, and physician concerns. This article explores these issues and suggests strategies for improving the use of tPA as an acute therapy in stroke. Secondary stroke prevention with low-dose aspirin, sustained release dipyridamole alone and in combination. ESPS Investigators. European Stroke Prevention Study. Forbes CD University of Dundee Medical School, Scotland, United Kingdom. Thromb Res 1998 Sep 15;92(1 Suppl 1):S1-6 Patients who had survived a stroke or transient ischaemic attacks (TIA) were admitted to a trial of low-dose aspirin (50 mg) alone, sustained release dipyridamole (400 mg/day) alone, or a combination of the two agents, and results compared with a placebo over 24 months. This low-dose aspirin regimen produced in pairwise comparisons a significant risk reduction of 18% for stroke, 13% for stroke and/or death but no reduction in all cause mortality. The sustained release dipyridamole produced a significant risk reduction of 16% for stroke, 15% for stroke and/or death but no significant reduction of mortality. In combination, aspirin and dipyridamole produced a risk reduction of 37% in stroke, 24% in stroke and/or death, and no reduction in mortality. Similar findings were found in TIA, which was a secondary endpoint. These results are highly significant in comparison with placebo. As expected, there were enhanced reports of alimentary side-effects in the aspirin groups and also enhanced bleeding. Dipyridamole was associated with a slight increase in headache, which resolved in most patients if therapy was continued. The conclusions are that 50 mg/day of aspirin alone or 400 mg/day of sustained release dipyridamole alone are equally effective in stroke and TIA prevention. When used in combination the effects were additive and were significantly more effective than the single agents. Continued on the next page... Page123

Earning invitations to the LeBron James Skills Academy, Nike Global Challenge, and the All-American Classic, his ability to use his impressive length and leaping ability have been a major factor in his success at the prep level and have earned him immediate playing time for St. John's. Standing 6'9 with a 7'4 wingspan, Obekpa has physical tools similar to those of Bucks center Larry Sanders at the same point in his career. Possessing solid mobility, good vertical explosiveness, and a 222-pound frame with plenty of room for growth, Obekpa looks the part of a NBA big man. At this stage in his career, those tools manifest themselves most frequently on the defensive end, where he ranks among the most prolific NCAA freshmen shot blockers in the last decade, as shown in the chart below. Possessing exceptional timing and a good motor to go along with his wingspan and leaping ability, Obekpa is an intimidating presence on the defensive end. He stays out of foul trouble surprisingly well for a young shot blocker for the most part, averaging just 3.7 fouls per-40 minutes pace adjusted thanks to his knack for going straight up on the shot and not jumping into would be scorers.

He remains raw as an individual defender, not looking comfortable defending one-on-one away from the rim and getting beat by stronger post players when he gives them a bit too much room to operate in an effort to keep them away from his body so he can elevate to block their shot. Similarly, the 19 year-old's presence on the glass also leaves something to be desired, as his 8.5 rebound per-40 minute pace adjusted is well below average for a player with his physical tools. Lacking the same instincts he shows as a shot blocker when crashing the boards and possessing just average hands, he shows plenty of flashes of potential as a rebounder when pulling down caroms in traffic, but is not a consistent factor on the glass. This separates him significantly from Larry Sanders and other shot-blockers in his mold, which is something NBA scouts will surely want to see him improve on before he's able to consider beginning his professional career. As Obekpa gains experience and his frame matures, his ability to become a more complete defensive player and consistent rebounder will be a significant determinant of his long-term success. His shot blocking ability will likely always be his calling card, but he can make himself more valuable at the next level by developing the skills to complement his strengths and make the most of his length and athleticism. US Presswire On the offensive end, Obekpa is as limited a player as you'll find seeing significant minutes at the BCS conference level. He's a surprisingly good passer, but is never more than a fifth option for St. John's offensive, does not have the skill level to be a threat to score at a high rate at or away from the rim, and is without a means to create his own shot. Shooting just 41% from the field and a sub-par 50% in finishing situations while scoring 5.4 points per-40 minutes pace adjusted, Obekpa's production is a representation of how raw he is as a scorer. He currently ranks as the third least prolific per-minute scorer of any BCS conference player seeing over 20 minutes per game, averaging a paltry 5.4 points for every 40 minutes he's on the floor. Attempting a surprising number of jump shots for a player who shoots just 25% of his jump shots and 28% of his free throws, the first order of business for Obekpa will be to develop his touch in the paint and footwork so he can more effectively take advantage of the shots his teammates create for him. Despite his shortcomings, Chris Obekpa is the biggest reason St John's leads the nation in shot blocking and has been one of the keys factors to their success in Big East play. He has one clearly defined NBA skill and plenty of upside, but his improvement in other areas over the coming seasons will be crucial to his career trajectory. With rumblings that he could be considering declaring for the 2013 draft, the question becomes what environment his development will be fostered in, and whether a team would be patient enough to wait a couple of years and see if the other parts of his game can be developed enough to allow him to see playing time in a NBA game.

Ok, this is pretty hilarious. I really hope this works out.

Last year when DC announced their schedule of panels at SDCC I did a post about how there was only one female on the DC panels.
And this year I can use the exact same headline because the schedule has been released and, yet again, with 17 different DC focused panels, there is exactly one female participant listed.
One. Uno. Ein. No big surprise, it's Gail Simone.
Two years, same story. Jeez, you'd think they let Janelle Asselin or Bobbie Chase on one of the Batman panels.
Robot6 did an article on the lack of women and comics this past week. (Go read it, I get called a "hack" in the comments!)
The writer of the Robot6 piece and I have some very different opinions about superhero comics. She thinks:
There's a coldness to superhero comics that I find off-putting, and they often bore me in the same way battle-action manga do.
We also disagree about comics for females need to be:
More conversations, less punching, fewer dead-eyed females and brokeback poses. Throw in more accessible art and less complicated continuity (something like Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier), and you could still make some nice solid comics
I like punching (ass kicking actually) and "less complicated continuity" as barrier is not really an issue for anyone who has ever watched any soap, daytime/nighttime or reality-based.
But we agree on this:
perhaps if more women were writing superhero comics, there would be more superhero comics that women would want to read.
Not just writing but drawing too, I think.
Table for one.
Flashpoint, one female creator
DCnU 52 books, 2 female creators.
Room for one more?
She has a point.
ONE WOMAN on DC and the dearth in general on comic book programming at Comic Con, and the low number of recognized women...
This is exactly what Ladydrawers is talking about yo.
That's nice. Let's break stereotypes by reinforcing them. *rolls eyes* But I do agree that it would be nice to see more...
