COMT Inhibitors for Parkinson's Disease
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors allow a larger amount of levodopa to reach the brain, which raises dopamine levels there. They help provide a more stable, constant supply of levodopa, which makes its beneficial effects last longer.
COMT inhibitors are always taken in combination with levodopa. They do not have any effect on Parkinson's disease symptoms by themselves.
Why It Is Used
COMT inhibitors are used in combination with levodopa to treat people with Parkinson's disease who have:
- Times between doses of levodopa where the medicine stops working (called wearing-off).
- Unpredictable "off" periods. This does not have to happen between doses of levodopa but can happen anytime.
- A stable response to levodopa (no "off" periods or wearing-off effect) but want greater relief from their symptoms without increasing their levodopa dosage.
How Well It Works
COMT inhibitors are helpful to many people who have Parkinson's disease. Treatment with tolcapone or entacapone can:1
- Decrease "off" time.
- Reduce the amount of levodopa you need to take.
- Improve motor function and the ability to do daily activities as measured by a standard Parkinson's disease test.
A combination medicine (Stalevo) combines entacapone, levodopa, and carbidopa. This may be more convenient for some people, because they would need to take only one pill instead of two.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- An increase or decrease in controlled body movements.
- Hyperactivity.
- Hallucinations.
- Uncontrollable movements of the tongue, lips, face, arms, or legs.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Belly pain or nausea.
- Constipation or diarrhea.
- Dizziness.
- Fatigue.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Signs of liver damage, such as:
- Dark urine.
- Itching.
- Light-colored stools.
- Loss of appetite.
- Continuing nausea.
- Pain or tenderness in the upper right part of your belly.
- Unusual drowsiness, tiredness, weakness, or feeling sluggish.
- Yellow eyes or skin.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Belly pain, nausea, or vomiting.
- Diarrhea.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
- Hallucinations.
- Headache.
- Signs of an infection, such as a sore throat, fever, sneezing, or coughing.
- Trouble sleeping.
- Unusual body movements, such as twitching.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Constipation.
- Dry mouth.
- Increased sweating.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Both of these drugs can cause a change in the color of your urine. Entacapone can turn your urine brownish orange. Tolcapone can turn your urine bright yellow. You do not need to worry about this. But if you are taking tolcapone and your urine turns dark brown along with the other signs of liver damage listed above, call your doctor immediately.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

(SportsNetwork.com) - After picking up seven of a possible 10 points on their
homestand, the Dallas Stars hit the road for a handful of games beginning on
Saturday night against the Anaheim Ducks.
The Stars won the first three of a five-game residency by a 14-1 margin,
including shutout wins over Minnesota and Pittsburgh. They dropped a one-goal
decision in regulation to Colorado on Monday, then lost 3-2 in overtime versus
the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.
Tyler Seguin scored with 51.5 seconds left in regulation for the Stars, but
Jamie Benn took a tripping minor 28 seconds into overtime and the Devils did
not wait long to cash in, with Patrik Elias putting home a rebound 40 seconds
into the bonus frame.
Benn had a goal and Kari Lehtonen allowed three goals on 24 shots for the
Stars, who were held to a season-low 16 shots in the game, with just four in
the first period.
"It was a bit of a roller-coaster," Seguin said of the homestand, which now
gives way to a three-game road trip. "We had some good moments, we had some
tough moments. It's about finding consistency as a group right now."
Both Benn and Seguin have done that as of late. The former has a goal in four
straight with nine points over his last five games, while Seguin has notched
three goals and eight points over his last four games.
The Ducks opened a five-game homestand with a rare loss at the Honda Center,
falling 4-2 to Minnesota on Tuesday. However, they bounced back and avoided a
losing streak by notching a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on
Playing in his 1,100th career game, Saku Koivu set up Daniel Winnik's short-
handed goal in the third period and added an empty-netter. Winnik, meanwhile,
got his first goal since Oct. 10, Corey Perry scored and Ryan Getzlaf finished
with a goal, assist and fight for the Ducks.
Rookie Frederik Andersen made 27 saves to improve to 14-2-0 this season with a
1.94 goals against average and .931 save percentage.
"We preach about it a lot, bouncing back after a loss," Anaheim head coach
Bruce Boudreau said. "When I talk about losing streaks following winning
streaks, you try to make it a point to not let it snowball. Not that it won't
happen, but that's what we talk about."
The Ducks became the first team in the NHL to reach 40 wins, having claimed a
victory in 22 of their last 26 games. They are also 22-2-2 at home.
Anaheim may be without forward Nick Bonino tonight due to an upper-body
injury, leaving the game versus the Flyers after taking a hard hit in the
first period.
The Ducks and Stars have split the first two of three meetings this season,
with each team claiming a 6-3 victory at home. Anaheim has won four of the
past six encounters overall.

Composting doesn't get any easier than this: just place the Compost Wizard on its base and throw in some compost, and you are cooking! The 12-inch lid is easy to open and close and provides a secure seal. Turn the tumbler once a week, and your compost will swiftly break down into wonderfully-rich soil. Durable wheels built right on the stand make the composter easy to turn, but the low-profile construction makes the stand very difficult for wind or curious critters to knock over. When the compost is ready to put on your plants, the tumbler simply lifts off of the stand, and it can be easily rolled around the yard to where you wish to deliver the compost. The rain barrel has a high-quality spigot to release the stored rainwater/compost tea mixture.
Holes in the side of the tumbler allow in the proper amount of air to keep the aerobic bacteria in the compost happily working. The ingenious design mingles rainwater with your compost runoff and stores the mixture in the rain barrel. This compost tea is one of the best, most nutrient-rich mixtures in the world for growing healthy plants. The moisture and nutrients will gradually seep into the ground. Ask any gardener and they'll tell you that compost and fresh rain water give some of the best, heartiest plants out there.
This product is made in the USA out of durable, 100% recycled polyethylene plastic. This plastic is resistant to weather and fading and carries a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty. Holds up to 7 cubic feet of compost and up to 49 gallons of rainwater/compost tea. Color: Choose from Khaki, Oak, or Terra Cotta. Dimensions: 38" High x 29" Wide x 35" Deep. Weight: 40 pounds.

Catherine Spencer fell into writing by happy accident. Approaching menopause and ready for a change of career while she could still walk and chew gum at the same time, she eavesdropped on a conversation about writing for Harlequin and decided this was too good a challenge to pass up.
With the blithe ignorance of a non-swimmer leaping into a shark-infested pool, she resigned from her job as a high school English teacher and fired off her first submission to Harlequin Mills & Boons editorial staff. Although her first two submissions were rejected, the third effort made the grade.
Since then, shes sold over 25 books; 24 of them to Harlequin and most of them selected for the Presents Line. The Loving Touch, her third novel, was a short contemporary finalist for the Romance Writers of Americas prestigious RITA Award.
Her March 99 release, Dantes Twins, was the number one Presents seller in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Her books have been translated into more than 17 languages and distributed in nearly 30 foreign markets.
In between deadlines, she has taught courses on writing series romance at both the college and continuing education level, as well as presenting workshops at the RWAs national conference in St. Louis and New York, to various affiliated chapters throughout the Pacific Northwest, and at the Surrey Writers Conference in British Columbia. With friend and fellow writer Judith Bowen, she is a co-sponsor of the biennial Singletree Workshop, an acclaimed weekend retreat for romance writers drawing participants from all over North America.
In May 1997, Catherine was one of the two British Columbia authors invited to represent Harlequin for the gala opening of Chapters flagship bookstore in Calgary, Alberta. The following month, she flew to Long Island, New York, the only Canadian among a lineup of 20 well-known Harlequin writers, to take part in the television series special, Harlequin Goes Prime Time. In 1999, she represented Harlequin in its cross-Canada touring exhibit celebrating five decades of romance and was in Calgary again for Valentines Day 2000, as part of the companys ongoing promotion of romance in the new millennium.
Catherine is married and lives with her husband in White Rock, a small seaside community south of Vancouver, British Columbia. She has four grown children, five grandchildren, two dogs and a cat, all of which are perfect! She has yet to find the perfect house, though, and despite repeated promises never to do so again, continues to persuade her husband to undertake renovations which always turn out to be more extensive and costly than she envisaged.
In her limited spare time, she enjoys swimming, walking, reading, playing the piano, collecting antiques, and growing tropical plants. She once drove from B.C. to North Dakota and spent a week cruising small-town auctions there and in South Dakota and Minnesota, looking for small antique items to bring home. She ended up renting the biggest U-Haul trailer her car could tow, and had it stuffed to the roof with furniture. Ever since, her husband refuses to let her leave town unless hes along for the ride!
Catherine loves to hear from her readers and can be contacted through her website at: www.catherinespencer.com; or via regular mail at P.O. Box 45068, Ocean Park R.P.O., Surrey, BC, V4A 9L1, Canada, or P.O. Box 1713, Blaine, WA 98231, U.S.A.

And we thought there was no way it could possibly get worse.
A father beaten nearly to death. A mother and daughters tortured and killed. A family destroyed.
As tough as it's been to hear the horrific details of the deadly 2007 Cheshire home invasion a second time around, we thought we knew the whole, awful, truth.
Hadn't we heard every single disturbing detail as we sat through the trial of Steven Hayes, who now faces death for the crimes?
There's certainly been differences in the trial against the second suspect, Joshua Komisarjevsky: A much more confrontational defense, a much more engaged defendant who looks at home at the defense table in his suit and tie.
But mostly it's the same anguishing account.
And then came Wednesday's gut punch: From his own audio taped statement to police, 31-year-old Komisarjevsky, his voice flat, telling police that he performed oral sex on 11-year-old Michaela Petit. He said he thought she was 14 or 16.
(For more, read @alainegriffin's story.)
Some jurors and family members wiped away tears as the courtroom
filled with Komisarjevsky's voice calling Michaela by her family nickname, KK. Judge Jon Blue suddenly cut short the recording just after Komisarjevsky was heard saying, "It started out against her will."
"I understand one of the jurors is having a tough time," Blue said.
Hadn't one of Komisarjesky's lawyers, Jeremiah Donovan, held a press conference last year right outside the very courthouse we were in to dispute evidence that the state had presented in court about the sexual assault of Michaela?
His client may have sexually assaulted the girl, Donovan told reporters during his courthouse steps press conference. But he hadn't sodomized her.
The whole spectacle, I noted back then, was absurd. Obscene. Insulting. A disgusting and cruel game of degrees of depravity.
But just like the second trial, it got worse. During a contempt
hearing, where a judge was trying to understand what would possess the veteran lawyer
to ignore a gag order to make those comments, Donovan gave this self-righteous
He thought Michaela's family deserved to hear an accurate portrayal of her final moments.
We now know that clearly wasn't true. We also know that we don't know the
whole, awful, truth yet.
But soon enough, we will. Tomorrow, the rest of Komisarjevsky's disturbing statement to police will be played in court.

Fall For Orange
I am spending this Thanksgiving cooking with a few friends in New York. I just got back from shopping at Whole Foods and was inspired by all of the Autumnal colors. Orange is everywhere from yams, to pumpkin pie, and it can be seen in some of Advanced Style's best Fall Looks. Check out how the style experts above incorporate orange into looks appropriate for every season.

Plus size bras offer more support and coverage in a higher size range in both the back and cup sizes. They often feature a sling support in the side panel construction for additional support and lift. At Bits of Lace, we believe in providing a perfect fit for every customer and body type. Therefore, we offer a large variety of high-end, elegant, functional and sexy plus size bras and plus lingerie bras including strapless, molded cup bra, contour cup, multi-positional, fashion and the top selling basic seamless bra to name a few.
Plus size bras are offered in a variety of styles, colors, fabrics, and design featuring what the full figure woman wants and needs in a bra or plus size lingerie. Some of us are blessed with more curves then most and want to showcase them in the best way possible. History has not been kind to the full figured woman. We had to wear uncomfortable fabrics that were ill fitted and unattractive. However, today's technology has addressed our concerns. New romantic looks; sexy bra styles are available for the full figured bras woman. Even seamless t-shirt bras constructed with satin simplex or microfiber enhance your form into a smooth round presentation. The use of lace and intricate embroidery, quipure appliques or light airy tulle enhance the full curves with elegance and a seductive style. Support is the key when choosing larger cup or band sizes. The most supportive style is the three part paneled full cup bra. Whenever you add a seam, the support is enhanced. The weight of the bust should be in the back of the bra and bridge in the front between the cups with a firm band. The straps should never take the weight of the bust. Often the price for the fuller cup size bra is a higher cup due to the special considerations like the amount of fabric or larger wires needed. Typically a plus-size bra starts at the D cup and 40 bands that extend up to the size the customer requires. Whether you need a plus size strapless bra for a special occasion, sexy bra, lace bras, plus size lingerie or a seamless t-shirt style the plus size woman can enjoy a wide selection at Bits of Lace boutique located in Charleston, South Carolina or shop on line with us at www.bitsoflace.com.

ELKHART — An Elkhart businessman sharply criticized plans to move his business and 74 others to compact agreements for sewer service and urged the city council to take action before it results in what he predicted could be a loss of jobs.
Rocky Enfield, an insurance man whose office is on C.R. 6, disagrees with the city's outlook that customers outside the city who use city sewer should pay more for the service in lieu of taxes.
Business owners are upset with the plan by the city to shift them from sewer service agreements to compact fees, which shifts the formula from usage-based to assessed value.
Enfield said his current monthly bill is about $20, but that will rise to $243 under the compact fee plan.
Enfield said the policy is unfair and doesn't make sense and compared it to having a shirt laundered and then being charged extra as if he had trousers cleaned, too.
He warned implementing the policy could hurt the city.
"This compact has the potential to be a job killer in the city of Elkhart," Enfield told the council. "I call on you to take action so that if that goes through and jobs are lost, the people of Elkhart will know who stood for the jobs and who did not."
Some business owners worry their bills could rise 500 percent.
As a compromise, Moore proposed last week that fees be phased in over two years beginning next month.
The mayor points out that 63 other commercial properties have been on compact agreements for years.
The city sought to have the property owners shift over by Jan. 1, but delayed plans because of complaints. The city council needs to vote on Moore's proposal, but a formal ordinance has not yet been prepared.

Spina bifida may cause no symptoms or only minor physical disabilities. Frequently, it leads to severe physical and mental disabilities.
The severity of the condition is affected by:
Complications may include:
Accumulation of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus). Babies born with myelomeningocele also commonly experience accumulation of fluid in the brain, a condition known as hydrocephalus.
Most babies with myelomeningocele will need a ventricular shunt — a surgically placed tube that allows fluid in the brain to drain as needed into the abdomen. This tube might be placed just after birth, during the surgery to close the sac on the lower back, or later as fluid accumulates.
Other complications. Additional problems may arise as children with spina bifida get older. Children with myelomeningocele may develop learning disabilities, including difficulty paying attention, problems with language and reading comprehension, and trouble learning math.
Children with spina bifida may also experience latex allergies, skin problems, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal disorders and depression.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.
Rating Breakdown
|Test score rating
|The test score rating examines how students at this school performed on standardized tests compared with other schools in the state. This rating is based off of 2013-14 CRCT, EOCT, and GHSWT test results.
|Student growth rating
|The student growth rating measures whether students at this school are making academic progress over time. Specifically, the rating looks at how much progress individual students have made on reading and math assessments during the past year or more. This rating is based off of 2013-14 student growth percentiles provided by the Georgia Department of Education.
|College readiness rating
|The college readiness rating combines this high school's graduation rates with data about college entrance exams, both of which are indicators of how well schools are preparing students for success in college and beyond. This rating is based on composite ACT scores and four-year adjusted graduation rates from 2013-14.
MethodologyView more details about the GreatSchools rating
College and Career Ready Performance Index
College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) is a comprehensive school improvement, accountability, and communication platform for all educational stakeholders that will promote college and career readiness for all Georgia public school students. Schools are scored on a scale of 0 to 100.

The '50-80 Split' is about as comfortable as we can get. Cool in the mornings without being "cold". Warm in the afternoon without being "hot".
These next few days, we have real shots at being close to those numbers. A few sprinkles around this morning (South of I10), otherwise a mix of clouds and sun, clearing a bit by tonight. Highs in the Mid and Upper 70s. Lows tonight upper 40s to low 50s, more clear, and more sun for Friday with highs even closer to 80.
By Sunday, there's a shot at some showers.. until then, all looks awesome!

6) Did I mention to BACKUP your site?
14) Ask your server if they offer PHPsuExec, php_suexec or suPHP
15) Use php.ini files if your server allows. With this you can disable functions that are not needed or dangerous
16) Register_Globals = 0 (off) Many servers deafult this to ON.
17) allow_url_fopen = 0 (off)
18) expose_php = 0 (off)
19) safe_mode = 0 (off)
23) Use open_basedir , it limits which files/folders can be opened.
21) Move configuration.php outside of your public directory.
25) On file permissions, in general never use 777 if you don't know what you are doing (755 for directories and 644 for files is sensible for most).
1) Change username "admin" to anything else in Joomla, PhpBB, and anywhere else it used.
28) Instead of renaming, you can also create a second super administrator account and remove the first. This way, the user id will be different.
3) Change username or add password to username "root" in PhpMyAdmin. Default is NO password! This is not usually an issue on remote servers however if you have a local server it may be.
7) Remove unused templates, extensions and unneeded files from your site. This includes compressed archives.
8) Check joomla.org Vulnerable Extensions List (VEL)
9) Check regularly for updates for Joomla, PHP, SQL and EVERY extension you use.
10) Avoid encrypted code in extensions.
11) Use some form of intrusion detection either through a cron job or an extension (like Eyesite).
12) Check your log files OFTEN for unusual activity.
13) Test your site for weaknesses or hire someone to perform this for you. Make sure you tell your host first what you are doing or you may get your site removed from the server!!!
20) Use .htaccess to add extra protection to your administrator directory or use an extension (like kSecure)
22) Get an SSL certificate for financial transactions and other sensitive data exchange.
24) Change the paths (directories) where your log, temp (tmp) files are stored. Don't just move them, you have to change the setting in Global Config as well. You also have to ensure your new paths fall under the scope of open_basedir
26) Don't save FTP user and password in your FTP tool of choice on your workstation (especially if you are on Windows).
27) If you don't need them, don't enter the FTP user/password or remove them.
NOTE: If your administrator password is changed by hackers (or you forget it) follow this procedure to restore it: http://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_recover_your_admin_password%3F

Watch for hidden price hike at some gas stations
Don't Waste Your Money
Spring is the time of year when gas prices make their annual march upward, which means many drivers pay a very close look at those prices this time of year.
But if you're not careful these days, you could pay a lot more for gasoline than you expected, if your car requires midgrade or premium gasoline.
Hal Almond drives a Volkswagen, and like many European cars it says "Premium Fuel Only."
Which was fine, until he noticed the price of midgrade and premium gas getting more premium.
10 cent price difference...until recently
"In my entire life I've always thought there was always a 10 cent difference in price between regular and midgrade and midgrade and premium," Almond said.
You know what's he's talking about: Regular at $3.79 typically means midgrade is 10 cents higher at $3.89, with Premium at $3.99.
That's been standard for years.
But almond says recently he's noticed the spread between grades getting wider.
He calls it a hidden price hike.
"They will match the regular price," Almond said. "But if your car takes midgrade or premium, its much higher."
Spread between grades much higher
Many stations, including many Shell stations, now have only the price of regular showing on their new digital signs.
You have to pull up to realize that while regular is $3.71 (competitive with other nearby stations), midgrade is $3.86 and premium $4.01, a much wider spread than the old pricing.
The gas station Almond was referring to would not comment, but Shell Oil tells the tech blog CNET that it's premium fuel, V-Power, is costlier than other brands "due to its lower friction and extra cleaning agents."
GasBuddy.com, meantime, says refineries are producing less premium gas nowadays, so the price is up based on supply and demand.
Almond just wishes stations would post all their prices, and says drivers need to be on guard.
What you can do
My advice? If your car suggests premium, check with your handbook, and your dealer's service department, to see if it's required or just recommended.
You may be able to drop down a grade, saving a few cents per gallon, so you don't waste your money.
