Chippewas set to continue MAC play this week
Mount Pleasant, Mich. -The Central Michigan women's volleyball team is back on the road this Thursday as they take on Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti and then head home to face the Golden Flashes of Kent State.
The Chippewas (7-9 overall 1-3 MAC) face the Eagles (11-8 overall, 1-2 MAC) to start off the weekend. Eastern is coming off a 0-2 finish in MAC play last weekend, losing to both Northern Illinois and Western Michigan.
•The Chippewas and Eagles have both played the same four MAC teams thus far, and have the same records through the four games.
• CMU libero Jenna Coates earned her second Defensive Player of the Week award for her efforts in Saturday's loss to Northern Illinois. Coates had a program record 37 digs in four sets for the Chippewas.
• The Eagles bring an 11-8 overall record into their game against Central, and are 3-2 at home this year.
• Eastern Michigan will display one of the MAC's toughest defenses when it plays the Chippewas, as the Eagles lead the conference in digs per set and are 5th in blocks per set. Corynne Smith leads the Eagles in digs with 4.94 per set.
• CMU libero Jenna Coates has had a stellar season thus far, achieving the rank of 7th in the country in digs per set with 5.72. Coates' season average of 5.72 digs per set is up from last season's mark of 4.88 digs per set. This pace puts her within striking distance of the number two spot on CMU's all time leaders in digs for a career, currently held by Ali McCrite (2003-06).
• Moving up on CMU's all time kill list, outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre needs just 31 kills to move past Lindsey Dulude for sixth all time on CMU's career kill list. She has 229 kills on the season.
• McIntyre is currently averaging 4.09 kills per set, up from her career average of 3.45 kills per set last season. This rate would currently place her at second all time in kills per set average at CMU.
• Senior setter Kelly Maxwell is having a strong season, averaging 11.50 assist per game for the Chippewas. Her 3,155 career assists ranks her third on CMU's all time career assists list. Maxwell is currently 15th in the nation in assists per set with 11.5, and leads the Mid-American Conference in that category.
• CMU faces off against Kent State on Saturday night. The Golden Flashes are 8-9 on the season overall, including a 2-2 conference record.
• Both the offense and defense for the Golden Flashes rank near the bottom of the MAC this season.

Narrator: This is Science Today. Inside each of your cells is a microscopic structure called a centrosome, which acts like a hub, organizing the cell's internal structure and playing an essential role in cell division. Every animal ever studied, from humans all the way down to insects, have centrosomes in their cells. That is ... until now. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, recently discovered a tiny, freshwater flatworm that defies this seemingly fundamental rule of biology.
Marshall: They look different than every other animal and they don't have a centrosome there, they don't even have centrioles there; they just have some kind of a blob that we don't know what it is.
Narrator: Wallace Marshall, a biochemistry professor who led the flatworm research, said that when they didn't see centrosomes with an electron microscope, they turned to genetics to try to solve the mystery.
Marshall: We found that there are two critical genes that in all other animals are necessary for building a centrosome, that are missing from the genome of planarians, so they've apparently just ditched it.Narrator: Marshall believes this finding implies that centrosomes may not be as essential for basic cell biology as previously thought.

I hope each and every one of those idiots went some place later and washed their faces with a nice dose or warm/hot water. :D
Also, you can quit referring to that one individual as a veteran in order to play on our sympathies. His post-discharge behavior has been a series of tantrums and attacks on his former brothers in arms. I don't consider him a fellow vet any more than I would consider Benedict Arnold one.
After Timothy McVeigh bombed the Murrah Building, somebody pointed out that his honorable discharge and veteran status would permit his burial at Arlington National Cemetery. The directors determined that a new rule, governing the post-service conduct of veterans, would be applied in the future. Any veteran who is convicted of a felony or who otherwise disgraces himself may be denied burial in ANC or any other VA cemetery. I'm thinking that a similar rule should apply here. We can call it the Quisling rule, after Norwegian fascist and traitor Vidkun Quisling, who sold his country out to the Nazis and ran the puppet government for them. It would apply to anyone who puts political gain ahead of duty.
Torture? I regard it as more of an incentive plan, to encourage OWS hippies to bathe.

Photos by John Ewing/Staff Photographer About 14 acres of cranberries are under production at Ricker Hill Orchards in Turner. A worldwide interest in the healthy properties of cranberries is also expected to boost demand.
Staff photo by XXXX XXXXXThis is a two-line cutline that goes here, and thats what still goes here, and thats what still goes here.
TURNER — The rush was on in the deep-maroon cranberry bogs at Ricker Hill Orchards last week.
A dozen men pushed harvesting machines atop the spongy mat of vines, scooping up the tart red fruit before rain shut down the operation, putting off the already late harvest for yet another day.
''Usually the harvest is early October,'' shrugged Harry Ricker, manager of cranberry operations at the eighth-generation farm.
Ricker is one of 40 cranberry growers across the state who have resurrected an industry that had vanished from Maine until the 1990s. Cranberries grow wild across the state and were cultivated up until the 1900s. The industry died out after that due to lack of frost protection technology, a drop in demand during World War I, Maine's distance from markets, disease and pests and other factors, said Charles Armstrong, cranberry specialist at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension.
Cranberries are genetically very similar to the wild blueberry and like the same acidic soil and cool temperatures.
That makes Maine an ideal place to grow cranberries, said Armstrong. The industry was revived in part by former Gov. Angus King, who envisioned the cranberry as an economic boost for Washington County. King convened a cranberry summit in 1996 and endorsed a plan calling for the planting of 1,000 acres of cranberry vines in Maine by 2000.
While those efforts have fallen short -- in part because of high startup costs of cranberry farming -- Maine's acreage has steadily increased from 40 acres in 1997 to nearly 299 acres today, according to the 2007 U.S. Department of Agriculture census. Maine's harvest pales next to Wisconsin, the nation's top cranberry producer with 17,700 acres followed by Massachusetts at 13,000 acres.
Armstrong said he expects the industry to continue to expand in Maine, due to the growing demand for locally grown products and a worldwide interest in the possible health benefits of cranberries.
Last week more than 30 nutrition scientists presented the latest findings from research into the berry's anti-aging, anti-cancer and anti-bacterial qualities at the Fourth Cranberry Institute Health Research Conference in Savannah, Ga.
Work was cited by University of Maine assistant professor and microbiologist Vivian Chi-Hua Wu and her colleagues, who are studying ways cranberries can help protect against the E. coli strain responsible for life-threatening cases of food-borne illnesses.
Wu's studies show that cranberry concentrate slows the growth of or virtually eliminates listeria, salmonella, staph infection and E. coli in ground beef.
All the interest in a fruit that in its raw, unadulterated state is tart enough to make your eyes water bemuses Ricker, who admits it takes an acquired taste to appreciate.
''It's like biting into a lemon,'' he said.
Ricker started growing cranberries in 1997, in an effort to diversify his farm amid global changes to the apple market.
At one time, Ricker Hill produced 850 acres of apples, compared to 325 acres today. The crop was sold almost exclusively overseas. Today, 95 percent of the apples are sold in Maine.
''We couldn't compete so we went into blueberries, cranberries and organics,'' said Ricker.
He now has about 14 acres of cranberries under production. Frosts and rain delayed the harvest this year. The berries have to be dry for the initial harvest, but most nights in October the sprinklers had to be kept on to prevent frost damage. A soggy pollination period will decrease the crop to about two-thirds of the 200,000 pounds produced last year.
The cranberries are grown in man-made bogs separated by dams. The vines grow on moist ground, not in standing water. When the berries are ripe, the vines are first dry-harvested by hand-pushed machines which look like snow blowers. The harvested berries are placed in big driers and another machine that removes debris. Then they are hand sorted.
''Good cranberries bounce,'' said Ricker.
The green ones are sold to a Vermont vintner. The bruised ones are sold for use in pharmaceutical products. The fresh fruit is then sealed in plastic bags by an automated packager before it is shipped off to grocery stores across Maine and eastern New Hampshire.
Then the wet harvest begins. The bogs are flooded with several feet of water before a harvesting machine gently beats the remaining cranberries from the vines.
The berries are rounded up with booms, sucked out of the water and boxed up before they are trucked to Chatham Biotec, a New Brunswick pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturer.
Ricker said one of his three sons has an interest in farming and wants to increase the cranberry acreage, but first they will have to find the right site: at least 30 acres on a river with clay subsoils.
Armstrong, the University of Maine cranberry specialist, said acreage is expanding in the state, in part because land is relatively inexpensive compared to other large producing states such as Massachusetts. He said cranberries are a good way for farmers to diversify.
Once established, cranberry vines do not require a lot of intensive care, and the harvest time is relatively short. Ricker said if weather cooperated, it would take just five days to harvest.
But there are challenges in Maine, Armstrong said. It takes three to five years for plants to start bearing fruit, which can make it tough to find a bank willing to wait for loan repayments.
However, Armstrong said there is plenty of room for more cranberry growers in Maine, both in terms of available land and growing demand.
''There is potential there, especially for very small farms,'' he said.

First, forgive me for my inarticulate yammer today. I am struggling with words, for they are all so inadequate to express the roaring going on in my heart. Read on and try to get past the rambling. This is clearly not my best work, but I had to get it out. I warn you that I say nothing profound or comforting or meaningful. But please, read on. Coaxing out words and coherent thoughts when your mind is empty and exploding at once is not an easy task. But here goes...
To go against nature and disrupt order results in chaos, no? To shirk the natural order of things is to play chicken with the universe, tempting the Fates. Order is fundamental to our existence, Chaos its unwelcome disruptive cousin. And so it is a mystery, a painful, heartless mystery, when a parent must bury a child. The natural order of things turned upside down.
And so it is for Heather and Mike Spohr, who lost 17-month old Maddie last week. Their baby girl.
I don't know the Spohrs but I know their story, and that is enough. More than enough. Our paths cross in the blogosphere and on Twitter. The funny thing about this sorority of so-called "mommy bloggers" is that we do indeed feel like we are friends. We share more intimate thoughts and tales online that we do in passing coversation with our friends in real life (IRL, as we say). We laugh at the zany antics of our children, boost each other up when we admit our shortcomings, applaud our families' milestones, and mobilize when someone is hurting. If you simply google "Maddie" or "Maddie Spohr" you'll see the amazing words and prayers and love that the blogging community has poured out. You'll see how these virtual friends from all across America rallied to walk for the March of Dimes in Maddie's name. You'll see how Heather's March of Dimes donations on her blog went from $3000 to $20,000 in a blink. We are kindred spirits.
And so I look at my sons with an even greater love. I hug them a little longer. I smother them with wet kisses. I find myself reaching out to simply touch their hand or whisk away a tendril of overgrown hair from their eyes. I get to do that. I get to touch them and hear their boisterous guffaws and giggles. I get to smell their warmth. I get feel their hands slide into mine, their eyelashes brush my cheek. I get to nuzzle them and kiss them good night. I won't take it for granted. This I promise myself.
Maddie's memorial service is at 2:30pm on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009. It will be held at the Old North Chapel at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, CA. Everyone is asked to wear purple in honor of Maddie. Even if you can't make it to LA, wear purple in a show of support for the Spohrs and as a reminder of how precious our children are.

Tragic. What a cute little girl. That's a real shame.
Miss Antje and Ilina, that is a tragic story of a pretty little girl. Sometimes life doesn't make any sense. We do our best and move forward, all the while the hole that's there never really gets filled up.With regards,Archibald Sharron
This is just sad beyond words :(

An allergy is an immune system reaction to a specific molecule, which is
called an allergen. Most allergens are proteins, but practically anything can
become an allergen in any particular animal. In dogs and cats, the most common
allergy is to flea bites; followed by "atopy" an allergy to inhaled particles
such as pollen, mold, and dust mites.
The medical name for an allergy is a "hypersensitivity reaction." There are
four types of hypersensitivity reactions, but most of the allergies our pets are
prone to are Type I or "immediate" hypersensitivity. This reaction takes place
quickly; usually within minutes, but up to about 12 hours after exposure. An
allergy to bee stings or flea bites are classic examples, but food allergies and
atopy also fall into this category. Some allergies are very severe and can be
life-threatening, though this is rare in pets.
The symptoms of allergies in pets usually appear in either the digestive
system (vomiting and/or diarrhea) or the skin (itchiness, redness, lesions, hair
loss, ear infections). It can be very difficult to distinguish atopy from food
allergies; and some pets have both.
In this article, we'll focus on food allergies
Skin symptoms of allergy (referred to as "allergic dermatitis") are
frequently complicated and aggravated by secondary infections by yeast or
bacteria. Additionally, these symptoms may not be related to food or allergies
at all; there are many potential causes of digestive and skin issues. If your
pet is having problems, please have your veterinarian take a look.
Allergies typically
develop over time and after multiple exposures to the allergen, although they
are occasionally seen in young puppies and kittens, or after only one or two
exposures. It's common to think that if a pet has been eating the same food for
years, symptoms couldn't be due to allergies. But just the opposite is true:
eating the same food over a long period of time is a recipe for allergy
development. Not surprisingly, then, the most commonly used pet food ingredients
are the ones pets most commonly become allergic to. For instance, meat
by-products, liver, and meat-and-bone meal come largely from cattle, so
allergies to beef are common.
Pets Most Common Food Allergens Dogs Beef, chicken, milk, eggs, corn, wheat, and soy Cats Fish, beef, milk and milk
products Some animals have cross-reacting allergies; that is, if they are
allergic to chicken, they are also allergic to turkey, eggs, and other birds; a
beef-allergic pet may also react to other cloven-hoofed animals such as bison,
venison, or lamb. Pets who have an allergy to one thing are prone to developing
more allergies.
Comedian Chris Rock was once talking about friends whose child
had food allergies, and asked, "How can anyone be allergic to food?"And that's a
good question! All animals must eat to live, so it doesn't exactly make
biological sense that the body would reject good nutrition, or react so badly to
One way that an ingredient can become an allergen is the heat processing
that pet food undergoes during manufacturing. Heat can "denature" proteins,
which means that it distorts their shape. Shape is how the immune system tells
proteins that belong in the body apart from foreign proteins. When an abnormal
protein is picked up by an immune cell, the whole system responds, and
antibodies are produced. After that, every time that protein appears, antibodies
flock to it and stimulate inflammation. The more damaged proteins, the more
inflammation. When the offending allergen is in the pet's everyday diet, the
situation can become quite severe and uncomfortable for your companion.
The very fact that this reaction takes place at the lining of the gut causes changes in
the lining itself. Swelling and inflammation cause the normally tight barrier of
gut lining cells to become "leaky." This "leaky gut" will absorb more things it
shouldn't, causing the reaction to move into the bloodstream, where it can cause
inflammation elsewhere, notably the skin.
Allergies are harder to deal
with, but the treatment for food allergies also happens to be one of the
simplest ways to diagnose them. Changing your pet's diet to a "novel ingredient"
diet, also sometimes called a "hypo-allergenic" diet, allows the immune system
to settle down and the inflammation to resolve. The new diet should contain
protein and carbohydrate sources that the animal has not had before. Here's how
to do a "diet trial" for food allergies:
b. Use one of the many ready-made commercial pet foods that can be used for a novel ingredient
Choose an unusual protein such as rabbit, bison, and duck, with a carbohydrates
like sweet potatoes, brown rice, and green peas. There are veterinary diets for
this purpose, but their ingredients tend to be poorer quality than a good
natural food brand.
d. Consider a raw diet. As with dry and canned foods,
sometimes animals who are allergic to an ingredient in a processed pet food will
readily tolerate the same ingredient in its raw form. However, in pets with
leaky gut syndrome, the natural bacteria in raw meat may be a risk. You can
lightly cook the food for a while until the gut has healed.
2. In most cases,
it's best to switch diets gradually over a week or two. Cats are notoriously
finicky, and it may take even longer for them. If your pet is willing to eat the
new food right away, you can make the change faster, but be aware that digestive
symptoms could get worse at first, because the gut has not had time to adjust.
3. Feed exclusively the new food for at least 8 weeks. No cheating—o table
scraps, no treats. Giving anything but the new diet will put you back to square
one, and you'll have to start the 8 weeks all over again.
b. Skin
symptoms may take up to 12 weeks to resolve, but there should be at least
noticeable improvement within about 8 weeks.
4. If the symptoms aren't changing
at all, you may need to switch to a different diet. Remember that allergies can
cross-react, and that your pet may be allergic to more than one ingredient.
There are also several supplements that can be very helpful for allergies. These
can be used independently or in conjunction with a diet trial.
2. Probiotics are
"friendly bacteria" that are important for gut function and health of the cells
that line the digestive tract. They also have some anti-inflammatory properties.
Remember that allergic pets tend to
develop more allergies—including to new foods. Lamb and rice was once a popular
combination for allergic pets, but after eating it over a long period of time,
many pets became allergic to lamb, too. If your pet is prone to developing
allergies, it's wise to switch foods (to different protein and carbohydrate
sources) every 3 or 4 months to prevent future problems.

Thank you ladies, my apologies go out to Mom2enr. Perhaps I just took it the wrong way. I may not be anywhere near as experienced as some people here as we do live in Michigan and most of our opportunities come out of Chicago and Detroit, not LA or NY. We spent a few days with well I'm sure you can figure it out, during the casting of Frankie but by far my worst experience with so far based on the last several weeks. Hope you all enjoyed your experiences.
|Jack Nicholson
Ummmmm...not quite sure what to say.
You leapt to many inaccurate conclusions based on my post. My kids weren't involved in all those castings (some of them) and I certainly wasn't trying to brag bc the ones they were didn't end in success, only frustration. That's the way of these drawn out huge calls for almost everyone.
That was my point. They happen. Frequently. You can't take them to heart.
I wasn't laughing at you, I was rolling my eyes verbally at these types of calls.
Thanks for those who jumped to my defense!
|Jack Nicholson
And not all those calls were for girls...I should have added more boy ones... Extrmely Loud and Incredibly Close, Looper...
If you search the boards you will see many long discussions on the casting of each of these.
Sorry if I touched a nerve.
|Kevin Bacon
Don't like the youtube auditions
|Russell Crowe
Today I received a message that said the role of Frankie has been cast. Wish him all the Luck!! Can't wait to see how it turns out
|Kevin Bacon
Brilliant Talent Management has a FB posting of identical boys shooting the movie. Does not list role, but based on age, am guessing it's for Frankie.

Nightlife: All Night Long
Posh clubs offer sophisticated entertainment alternatives to traditional shows and lounge acts
Bruce Schoenfeld
From the Print Edition:
Vegas, Mar/Apr 2006
Robert Frey stands on a glassed-in catwalk at Pure, a nightclub in the Caesars Palace casino on the Las Vegas Strip, and surveys the controlled tumult below. Frey, 41, is short, with eyes that narrow to a squint. Surrounded by some of the most seductively attractive-and most funkily dressed-women and men anywhere on this Friday night, he wears a brown denim jacket and a Charlie Brown smile. Since its debut in December 2004, the $15 million, 36,000-square-foot Pure has helped revitalize the entire Caesars Palace brand.
Before opening Pure, Frey ran a cigar business with his brother, Michael. Prior to that he sold pizzas. But in Las Vegas, five years is a generation, and second and third chances seem to come with your apartment lease. With nightclubs, Frey finally has found his calling. Together with partner Steve Davidovici, he presides over a growing empire that caters to a broad range of guests, from A-list celebrities to convention-goers just off the plane. His unthreatening demeanor serves as an asset. "People want to feel comfortable," he says. "The thing that's different from Miami, L.A. or New York is, we don't have a cool crowd. Everyone who comes to Las Vegas wants to have fun."
At Pure, Frey has four distinct areas of pulsating music, including a terrace with a panoramic view of the Strip. Shaquille O'Neal is an investor. So is Celine Dion. On this particular Friday night, Jimmy Iovine, arguably the most powerful man in the music industry, has shown up in a baseball cap and sunglasses. He's downstairs in the Pussycat Dolls Lounge, accompanied by the current incarnation of Robin Antin's Pussycat Dolls, a Los Angelesóbased all-girl band and dance revue with two smash singles. They are watching a replica troupe of Pussycat Dolls perform in tribute to the original. More than any sit-down extravaganza in the Strip's theaters or arenas, it is currently the hottest show in town.
In the cavernous main room on the other side of a crowded hallway, Hustler Magazine is having a party. Word is that Larry Flynt is in the house, ensconced in one of the private boxes festooned with supersized love seats that ring the dance floor. Throughout the club, tables have been reserved with the purchase of a $400 bottle of Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon or a $400 bottle of Captain Morgan Rum, or something even more expensive. Down the Strip at New York-New York, the mid-range Coyote Ugly is "probably the highest-grossing per-square-foot nightclub in the country," according to Frey, who owns and runs that club, too. At Treasure Island, Frey's Tangerine caters to a more risqué crowd. Next for Frey will come an iteration of the Dick's Last Resort chain along with additional concepts of his own.
Frey is perhaps the most successful of the impresarios, entrepreneurs and promoters who have helped transform Las Vegas nightlife from a choice between sleazy or sleepy to sizzling. Others aren't far behind.
The ultra-suave Victor Drai-who lived with Jacqueline Bisset and married Kelly Le Brock-arrived from Los Angeles to invent the Las Vegas version of his L.A. after-hours club at Drai's, in the Barbary Coast hotel. Now he has Tryst at the Wynn Las Vegas, complete with an imposing waterfall and a teeming Hollywood presence.
At TAO Asian Bistro, Richard Wolf and Marc Packer bring New York sophistication to a four-level space in what will soon be the world's largest hotel, The Venetian. Jeffrey Chodorow's Mix, inside THE hotel atop the Mandalay Bay, features Alain Ducasse's culinary expertise but gets even more acclaim for a late-night lounge scene that plays out in black leather banquettes, and perhaps the best cocktails in town. And with the Palms, George Maloof and Chicago restaurant-and-nightclub mavens Scott de Graff and Michael Morton have created an entire hotel built around nightlife. Next comes another Palms tower, with a twenty-first-century remake of the old Playboy Clubs, and a high-end penthouse watering hole one floor above. Its signature feature? A retractable roof.
To be sure, anyone who loathes crowds or loud music can still find plenty to do in Las Vegas. Elton John's latest run at Caesars Palace continues through April 9, and he will surely be back. Traditional acts such as Vicki Lawrence and Dionne Warwick visit the Orleans later this year. Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" act plays at least one weekend a month through October at The Mirage's Danny Gans Theatre. Gans himself is a ubiquitous presence there. Reba McEntire and Barry Manilow alternate multiweek stays at the Las Vegas Hilton all spring and summer. Howie Mandel is featured at the MGM Grand.
At the same time, the Wynn Las Vegas is bringing Spamalot and other Broadway shows to the Strip. Mandalay Bay currently features Mamma Mia! A truncated version of The Phantom of the Opera opens in June at The Venetian, and Paris Las Vegas hopes to add The Producers soon. The Blue Man Group, which formerly performed at the Luxor, began a run at a new 1,700-seat venue at The Venetian last October. The phenomenally popular Cirque du Soleil has ongoing shows at the Bellagio, the MGM Grand, New York-New York and Treasure Island. And in late May, a new in-the-round Cirque du Soleil production featuring Beatles music, and tentatively titled The Boys, replaces Siegfried & Roy's show at The Mirage
The most important boxing matches in America still take place in Las Vegas, and the relocation of an ATP men's tennis tournament from Scottsdale, Arizona, may signal more big-time sports to come. Mayor Oscar Goodman has been talking with baseball's Florida Marlins about moving to the city. That would add some 80 nights of family entertainment in a yet-to-be-constructed ballpark.

Banana Cream Pie I have a weird relationship with bananas. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I like them when they're under ripe. That almost yellow colour but still a bit green.

From well-compensated television personalities to lesser paid newspaper scribes and bloggers, the media and publishing industry took a beating during the recession and industry layoffs soared.
"After a bumpy 2008-2011 that resulted in little-to-no growth, this job category caught fire in 2012," said Katie Bardaro, PayScale's lead economist.
Advertising spending, which fuels the industry's growth, has picked up during the recovery. Yet hiring still remains below pre-recession levels, said Bardaro, and firms are demanding greater productivity from workers.
"It's usually cheaper to pay one productive worker a higher wage rate than to hire two less productive workers at a lower wage rate," she said.

Drug Industry Plans Transition to One Concentration for Pediatric Liquid Acetaminophen Products
On May 4, 2011, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) announced that over-the-counter (OTC) drug manufacturers will voluntarily discontinue production of infant-strength liquid acetaminophen products (e.g., Infants' Concentrated Tylenol® Drops) by mid-2011.1 The manufacturers plan to establish one standard concentration for single-ingredient liquid acetaminophen (160 mg per 5 mL) for all children under 12 years of age to simplify product selection, reduce dosing errors and improve patient safety.
These steps are part of an industry-wide effort to reduce the potential for medication errors due to the different concentrations that are currently available in liquid acetaminophen products for infants and children. Currently, the children's concentration of liquid acetaminophen medication is 160 mg per 5 mL (equal to one teaspoonful), but more concentrated forms of single-ingredient acetaminophen drops for infants (e.g., 80 mg per 0.8 mL) have also been available in the OTC marketplace for years. While the concentrated-drop formulation is intended to deliver acetaminophen in a suitable volume for infants, it raises the potential for medication errors for parents and caregivers (e.g., over an 8-year period, one manufacturer reported over 1,000 consumer inquiries about pediatric dosing of liquid acetaminophen products).
The transition announced by CHPA was prompted in part by recent advisory panel meetings of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has considered a range of options for addressing the persistent public health issue of acetaminophen-related liver injury. The OTC industry's plans are aligned with new guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on dosing delivery devices for liquid OTC medications,2 which presents recommendations for improved dosing devices (e.g., syringes, calibrated cups, spoons) in product packaging to minimize accidental errors with non-prescription drugs.
The move toward a single concentration of pediatric liquid acetaminophen is significant for the dental profession because acetaminophen is commonly used to manage various forms of dental pain in adults and young children. Parents and caregivers also routinely give acetaminophen to infants and young children to relieve fever and pain, often of non-dental origin. When used as directed, acetaminophen has a long history of safety and effectiveness as an effective analgesic and antipyretic (fever reducer). Yet while acetaminophen is available in many OTC products and is widely accepted for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, it also carries potential risks for liver injury when used excessively or when taken in combination with other acetaminophen-containing products (prescription or OTC).
The transition to one standard acetaminophen dose in pediatric liquid products is expected to begin in summer 2011, and will continue into 2012 as single-ingredient, concentrated acetaminophen drops are discontinued from the marketplace. As this process occurs, multiple concentrations of liquid acetaminophen products may continue to be available in retail stores. During this transition phase, parents and caregivers should be advised to pay close attention to acetaminophen dosage and proper dose intervals when giving liquid acetaminophen to infants and young children (particularly if using the concentrated acetaminophen drops that are being discontinued). When the OTC industry completes the transition process, liquid acetaminophen products for infants will be sold with flow restrictors and clearly marked syringes to improve dosing accuracy.
Infants, young children and parents/caregivers should be instructed to use acetaminophen and other oral analgesics as directed. They should also be advised that many OTC and prescription medications contain acetaminophen, and the use of multiple acetaminophen-containing medications at the same time can increase an individual's risk for acute liver injury. For additional information, dentists are encouraged to consult the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs' Science Brief on Acetaminophen and Liver Injury and the FDA's Consumer Health Information on the safe use of acetaminophen.

NewsPress Release - September 13, 2000The "Marlboro Musical" Makes Some Noise at Marlboro College
MARLBORO, VT -- Marlboro College senior Bobby Drozek presents the "Marlboro Musical," a showcase of students performing a wide variety of musical acts, at 9 p.m. Thursday, September 14, in the Marlboro College Campus Center.
Featuring 10 different student performers, the "Marlboro Musical" will offer musical styles ranging from German children's songs to Irish bagpipe ballads, folk rock, and rap. Drozek himself will take the stage as "Big Papa IIA" and, along with his "Doctors of Phunk," will "rock the microphone" well into the evening.
Following the "Marlboro Musical" will be the Marlboro College "Open Mike," hosted by Marlboro College junior Tim Collins. The weekly open mike allows students and non-students alike to perform their poems, songs, or short stories. According to Collins, "The Open Mike is essentially an empty pallet. Whatever creative energies people want to bring, they are welcome -- there are really no limits to what Open Mike can be."
While the "Marlboro Musical" is a special, one-time event, the Open Mike will take place once a week throughout the semester.
The Campus Center is fully accessible. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call (802) 251- 7661.

Italian Dressing
The value of fine Italian menswear is intrinsically linked to its top design firms
Luke Mayes
From the Print Edition:
Susan Lucci, Sep/Oct 99
The duty of the Italian couturier has always been to provide its customers with modest concealment, protection from the elements, higher social standing and a subtle sexual allure.
Centuries after the cultured men of Rome hung up their paludamenta, or robes, after their last toga party, Italian menswear has boldly marched into the modern clothing forum. Thanks to a heritage that dates back to the mid-1800s, savvy men are able to enjoy the sartorial splendor of Italian menswear design. It's easy to appreciate the generations of dedicated families that are responsible for producing the world's finest wines, cigars, cars and coffee, but we tend to take the traditions of Italian tailoring for granted. The Roman suit wasn't built in a day! Neither was the Neapolitan.
The godfathers of Italian tailored men's fashion are a unique and intriguing breed. These trusted old-school tailors can be somewhat egocentric, even downright stubborn. Yet their enigmatic work habits are the key to their mastery of the trade. The world has been left with a great shortage of these talented artisans; the few who remain form an exclusive group that takes great pride in the meticulous handwork required to create a fine garment. Like their counterparts on Savile Row, Italian tailors cut and sew every lapel, pocket, sleeve and collar completely by hand.
"A good suit is like a good cigar," Kiton president Massimo Bizzocchi declares. "You have to make sure it is rolled properly. You can call a cigar a cigar, but unless it's truly by hand, it's not a real cigar." The same goes for clothing, Bizzocchi says. "You've got to keep the fiber alive." What Bizzocchi is referring to is the way in which a cutter rolls the individual pieces of a garment together before it is sent for 25 hours of tailoring.
The rolling technique, as well as the art of measuring, cutting, basting, sewing, fitting and finishing, takes many years for a tailor to learn. Brioni's tailoring school in Penne, for instance, trains the company's master tailors for a minimum of four years before they are allowed to hand-cut and -sew garments.
While many accomplished Italian tailors can be found in New York City, such as Tony Maurizio, Bill Fioravanti, Nino Corvato, Mimmo Spano and Russell Giliberto, Italy, of course, still boasts the largest number of these extraordinary craftsmen. Their trade is as mystifying and secretive as the magicians' guild and, like the art of magic, the manner in which these maestros create their works cannot possibly be conveyed by textbooks. As a result, very little is known about the history or the minutiae of a handmade Italian suit. Getting direct answers about the internal workings of an Italian suit is like pulling teeth.
But if you spend enough time with these garment makers, you'll find that their enthusiasm and passion for their craft can occasionally get the better of them; some of the secrets that have created today's tailored masterpieces may slowly slip through the cracks.
The history behind Italian designer suits dates back prior to the unification of Italy, in 1861. In 1850, when the Savoy dynasty still ruled the town of Cagliari, in Sardegna, Italy's first tailoring atelier, Castangia, opened shop. This marked a new era in the sartorial personality of Italian menswear, and the word sarto--Italian for tailor--entered the language of world fashion. The Italian textile industry was already well established in the middle of the nineteenth century when a textile company called Somma Spa established a wool-production group in Somma Lombardo, just outside Milan, in 1865. (The transition from the production of raw materials to the manufacture of garments has always been a natural progression.) Somma Spa was destined to evolve into the now renowned firm Vestimenta, whose first manufacturing plant, in Matterello, opened in the early 1960s.
Today, the firm continues to devote its resources solely to production. "We don't think it's imperative to be in the retail market," says Vestimenta president Sandy Symkens. "We've built our business by being a viable resource to high-end stores, not by opening competing freestanding shops. By controlling our distribution, Vestimenta has a certain cachet."
Another mill-to-maker transformation got under way in 1910, when 21-year-old Ermenegildo Zegna, a recent graduate of Scuole Professionale Tessili Di Biella, opened a textile school in Biella. Zegna's original aim was to equal and eventually surpass the English in their production of quality woven textiles. Twenty years later, the Italian opened Oasi Zegna, a textile factory overlooking the district of Trivero, which provided health and education facilities for its employees. The textile trade of Italy was blossoming into a new industry. While the United Kingdom still ruled the world of tailoring, suit making was becoming a very serious business in Italy.

Ian Taylor, boss of giant oil-trading firm Vitol, gave the Tories £134,000 last year, a sum which buys him private meetings with the prime minister. His donations since 2006 total more than £600,000.
Last year Vitol went into partnership with trading firm Glencore to lend $10bn to fund expansion at the Russian state-owned energy firm Rosneft (run by Putins close ally Igor Sechin), to be repaid with oil deliveries. Vitol is partially headquartered in the EU (in Rotterdam and Geneva) so any genuine sanctions could disrupt its business.
Personal business
Vitols Russian interests go beyond Rosneft. Last November, Russias government-owned gas firm Gazprom announced that it was working with Vitol to develop underground gas storage and gas-fired power stations in Europe. While the UK government discusses reducing reliance on Russian gas because of the Ukraine crisis, Taylors Vitol is going into business with Gazprom to increase it.
Vitol says Taylors donations are his personal business, but Taylor personally announced both the Rosneft and Gazprom deals, and was among those at Gazproms London offices for its annual champagne reception last month. Meanwhile Vitol boosted its Tory links last month by employing former energy minister Charles Hendry MP as a £60,000-a-year consultant.
Another Tory donor, Moscow-born billionaire Alexander Knaster, has given £400,000 to the party since 2010. Knaster runs London finance firm Pamplona Capital Management, which specialises in helping rich Russians invest in the west hardly a trade to welcome sanctions. Knaster is close to Mikhail Fridman, a Russian oligarch whose Alfa Bank employed Knaster as chief executive before he came to London. Knaster, too, is involved in Russian energy deals: German firm RWE is selling its oil business to Fridman and other oligarchs. Knaster was chief negotiator on the deal and is reportedly backing it financially. This kind of trade could well be hurt by tough sanctions.
