Insulin Suspension Isophane (NPH) Suspension for injection
What is this medicine?
ISOPHANE INSULIN (NPH) (EYE soe fane IN su lin) is a human-made form of insulin. This medicine lowers the amount of sugar in the blood. It is an intermediate-acting insulin that starts working about 1.5 hours after it is injected.
This medicine may be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions.
What should I tell my health care provider before I take this medicine?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
episodes of hypoglycemia
kidney disease
liver disease
an unusual or allergic reaction to insulin, metacresol, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
How should I use this medicine?
Insulin is for injection under the skin. Use exactly as directed. It is important to follow the directions given to you by your health care professional or doctor. You will be taught how to use this medicine and how to adjust doses for activities and illness. Do not use more insulin than prescribed. Do not use more or less often than prescribed.
Always check the appearance of your insulin before using it. This medicine should be white and cloudy. Do not use it if it is not uniformly cloudy after mixing.
It is important that you put your used needles and syringes in a special sharps container. Do not put them in a trash can. If you do not have a sharps container, call your pharmacist or healthcare provider to get one.
Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. While this drug may be prescribed for children for selected conditions, precautions do apply.
Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of this medicine contact a poison control center or emergency room at once.
NOTE: This medicine is only for you. Do not share this medicine with others.
What if I miss a dose?
It is important not to miss a dose. Your health care professional or doctor should discuss a plan for missed doses with you. If you do miss a dose, follow their plan. Do not take double doses.
What may interact with this medicine?
other medicines for diabetes
Many medications may cause an increase or decrease in blood sugar, these include:
alcohol containing beverages
aspirin and aspirin-like drugs
female hormones, like estrogens or progestins and birth control pills
heart medicines
male hormones or anabolic steroids
medicines for weight loss
medicines for allergies, asthma, cold, or cough

medicines called MAO Inhibitors like Nardil, Parnate, Marplan, Eldepryl
NSAIDs, medicines for pain and inflammation, like ibuprofen or naproxen
quinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin
some herbal dietary supplements
steroid medicines like prednisone or cortisone
thyroid medicine
Some medications can hide the warning symptoms of low blood sugar. You may need to monitor your blood sugar more closely if you are taking one of these medications. These include:
beta-blockers such as atenolol, metoprolol, propranolol
This list may not describe all possible interactions. Give your health care provider a list of all the medicines, herbs, non-prescription drugs, or dietary supplements you use. Also tell them if you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs. Some items may interact with your medicine.
What should I watch for while using this medicine?
Visit your health care professional or doctor for regular checks on your progress. To control your diabetes you must use this medicine regularly and follow a diet and exercise schedule. Checking and recording your blood sugar and urine ketone levels regularly is important. Use a blood sugar measuring device before you treat high or low blood sugar.
Always carry a quick-source of sugar with you in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Examples include hard sugar candy or glucose tablets. Make sure family members know that you can choke if you eat or drink when you develop serious symptoms of low blood sugar, such as seizures or unconsciousness. They must get medical help at once.
Make sure that you have the right kind of syringe for the type of insulin you use. Try not to change the brand and type of insulin or syringe unless your health care professional or doctor tells you to. Switching insulin brand or type can cause dangerously high or low blood sugar. Always keep an extra supply of insulin, syringes, and needles on hand. Use a syringe one time only. Throw away syringe and needle in a closed container to prevent accidental needle sticks.
Insulin pens and cartridges should never be shared. Sharing may result in passing of viruses like hepatitis or HIV.
Wear a medical identification bracelet or chain to say you have diabetes, and carry a card that lists all your medications.
Many nonprescription cough and cold products contain sugar or alcohol. These can affect diabetes control or can alter the results of tests used to monitor blood sugar. Avoid alcohol. Avoid products that contain alcohol or sugar.

This list may not describe all possible side effects. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Where should I keep my medicine?
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store unopened insulin vials in a refrigerator between 2 and 8 degrees C (36 and 46 degrees F). Do not freeze or use if the insulin has been frozen. Store opened insulin vials in the refrigerator or at room temperature below 30 degrees C (86 degrees F). Keeping your insulin at room temperature decreases the amount of pain during injection.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - I have been thinking a great deal recently about the challenges of growing up today. This should come as no surprise, given my job as a Head of School; however even deeper thoughts than usual have been prompted by the book that I have been reading: "Raising Cain, Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys," by Michael Thompson and Dan Kindlon.
While I have never met Dan, Michael is an old friend of mine with whom I worked for many years in Virginia. He is an educational psychologist and author who has spent several decades assisting youngsters, their parents, and their teachers. He is a man of considerable humor and insight, and I long ago learned to listen closely to his observations and advice.
This Friday, all interested folks, parents and otherwise, are invited to join me in the Lake Tahoe School library from 8-9:30 a.m. for a book group discussion of "Raising Cain." Please join us for what promises to be a fascinating, interactive gathering.
My own experience with elementary and middle school children spans over four decades. It's fair to say that I have seen a great deal, yet there is always a new something to make me shake my head and wonder how kids manage to figure it all out "these days."
Our children remain a fascinating contradiction. In so many ways they are more sophisticated and mature than they have ever been. Many have traveled the world. At the same time, one of the reasons many families move to Incline is to safeguard their daughters and sons from "The Real World."
We are complex, we parents. We want our offspring to be prepared for that Real World, even as we want to protect them from it. In the meantime, we are not nearly as isolated here as we sometimes would like to think we are. Internet access and cable television bring the world to us at the flip of a (frequently silent) switch.
It is the job of us to help children navigate the path from Incline and our reasonably healthy and protected life to all that lies beyond. It is our responsibility to take the time to identify both the old temptations and pitfalls that confront our girls and boys as well as the new ones - the ones about which we have only limited knowledge.
Parents today seem to want to be in constant contact with their children, giving them cell phones at a very early age. From my perspective, that's not always a healthy connection for all kinds of reasons, although I respect the motivation to keep safe the ones we love. The fact is, few parents seem to sit down with their children and talk about the power and reach of cell phones used improperly.
They are mostly focused on such things as an approved call lists. Cyberspace can provide too many anonymous platforms for mischief. If you honestly recall your own middle and high school years, mischief-making was often in the cards. Take the time to talk to your children about cyberspace the same way you do about drugs. It will make a difference.

Americans are rightfully proud of the right to express their political opinions at the ballot box and expect a peaceful transition of government leadership to whoever wins a general election. Nevertheless, in most election cycles, substantial numbers of Americans are more motivated to vote against one candidate than wholeheartedly in favor of the other. Why don't we have more, and better choices for our leaders?
Who Are Democratic Party Members and Primary Voters?
As they are currently constituted, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are dominated by the ideologically extreme ends of their memberships. On the Democratic side, union members accounted for 22% of Democratic National Convention (DNC) delegates, and unions are major money contributors to the Democratic Party. Unions spent $1.1 billion on politics from 2005-2011 and another $3.3 billion on other activities such as lobbying, of which 92% was spent on the Democratic Party . This is so despite the fact that only 12% of workers nationally are union members, and 40% of union members are Republicans Party members or vote that way. Another 8% were "Greens" who favor much higher fossil fuel costs and more EPA Regulatory Rules which are cost multipliers for many businesses.
Who Are Republican Party Members and Primary Voters?
On the Republican side, as much as 50% of primary voters are Evangelicals and Pro-Lifers, about 10% of party members are Tea Party supporters who oppose new taxes as a means to repair the Federal fisc, and about 10% are also NRA members who believe that Americans should be able to carry assault weapons. There is considerable overlap amongst these segments.
Why Is the Composition of Political Party Members and Primary Voters a Problem?
The Democratic Party has about 30% of its membership with far left, non mainstream core beliefs. The Republican Party has about 30% of its membership comprised of those with far right non mainstream core beliefs. These extreme views are disproportionally represented in America's political process because 30% of Americans consider themselves to be independents not allied or involved with determining policy positions in either party. Paradoxically, it is the vote of these independents that determines the outcome of general elections.
In order to incorporate the support of their extremist radical wings, each political party is forced to move away from centrist platforms that would likely appeal to the greater portion of the electorate. In particular, the Republican Party's presidential candidate is perennially hobbled by conservative social policy declarations required to be made during the primaries to secure the nomination, only to attempt to backtrack during the general election campaign. As a result of these discrepancies between party participants and the general electorate, the American Republican and Democratic parties are among the weakest in the world with respect to being able to present to voters a team of candidates united by coherent principles and a program for governing the country.
Why Does America Only Have Two Political Parties?
America's founding fathers made many compromises in order the secure the approval by the states of a federally empowered central government under the Constitution. One of many checks and balances on federal power was the adoption of a bicameral legislative body with disproportional power given to smaller states in the Senate. Another was the adoption of the Electoral College. This indirect presidential election scheme is further reinforced by the congressional election methodology.
The main reason for America's majoritarian character is the electoral system for Congress. Members of Congress are elected in single-member districts according to the "first-past-the-post" (FPTP) principle, meaning that the candidate with the plurality of votes is the winner of the congressional seat. The losing party or parties win no representation at all. The first-past-the-post election tends to produce a small number of major parties, perhaps just two…. Smaller parties are trampled in first-past-the-post elections.—Economist Jeffrey D. Sachs, The Price of Civilization, 2011
What Can Be Done to Fix the Problem?
In what may well be a surprise to most of the American electorate, there are two other national political parties, the Libertarian and the Green Party. While the Libertarians manged to place their candidate on every national ballot, they won no states and received no electoral votes. As I wrote in Why Do We (Still) Have the Electoral College?, a proportional voting or parliamentary system is the solution. Such systems are inherently much more open to minority parties securing better representation than third parties do in the American system. Currently, Maine and Nebraska are the only states that proportionally split their electoral vote, but there is no legal impediment to the adoption of such policies in every other state.
What Would a Proportional Direct Vote World Look Like?
A direct proportional vote within each state would have the practical effect of making presidential elections a popular vote. It would not truly be one because votes would be sub-totaled by each states' Electoral College votes, and there could be rounding errors. The change could be implemented without requiring a Constitutional Amendment.
Candidates would place greater efforts on larger population centers which might skew heavily toward another party, because electoral votes would be available at the margin. Voter participation would likely rise dramatically, particularly in deeply partisan states, because every vote would count. From a public policy standpoint, this would be presumed to be good for America. The following chart shows that the US election system is responsible for one of the lowest voluntary voter participation rates in the developed world.
The rise of more centrist third, fourth or even fifth parties could unleash a torrent of choices for American voters. Because each of these smaller parties would need to build governing majority coalitions, compromise would be required for political success. The current gridlock in Washington would be history. More independents would be co-opted to participate in the system because their narrower concerns would be better addressed by smaller parties.
America is a center/center-left nation. We are ethnically and racially majority minority for the first time in our history. It's about time that our politics and our politicians better reflected this new reality and gave new voices a chance to be truly heard.

Dear Western Conference,
Well, it's been a slice. So many memories and so many big games have been played between our franchises since 1981 when the Western Conference as we know it got fairly well set. Ah, memories both good and bad. Some of you we'll miss more than others. A few of you we won't miss at all. In the words of the late Sam Kinison, some of you we hope, "Slide under a gas truck and taste your own blood." I thought we could take a look back at these last 30 years, the last 20 of which the Wings have carried many of you in conference reputation, into the new age of NHL hockey.
Anaheim – What started out as a ridiculous marketing ploy replete with hideous colors and Pringles duck beaks, has turned into a worthy adversary. Many times in spring our teams have met and many times games went into overtime or were played with ill will. This is as it should be. Plus we took your coach. We won't miss you because duh Anaheim, but you weren't dregs either. My favorite memory? Well until these overtime wins this past two weeks it was Brendan Shanahan getting away with clearing your own crease of your own players for you to win the series in 2OT's in 1997:
Calgary – A wonderful stopping off point on Thursdays before those Saturday night games in Edmonton. Calgary. A few playoff series. Nothing to really connect us over time. Mike Vernon did himself proud in both cities. A good fan base that now has to watch Jiri Hudler suck nightly. We wish you well Saddledomers.
Chicago – Sure most of your players have been assholes and your bandwagon fans insufferable but we are connected by the strongest bond the NHL has. The greatness of this rivalry predates 1981. Ted Lindsay was forced to slum it in Chicago this rivalry is so old. We'll miss the great stories about Patrick Kane and which cab driver he beat up over 20¢ or where he wandered around the street drunk all night. We'll miss Crazy Eddie Belfour but Martin Lapointe's family jewels sure won't. But since 1981 who could forget your one shining moment and just HOW you chose to celebrate it:
Colorado – Those sure were some good times when your team was all dicks and Joe Sakic huh? Cowards who hit from behind and employ THE worst television announcers was your calling card for the longest time. You did get one thing over on us and that was Uwe Krupp. Man, that one still hurts but maybe not as much as the Wings wrecking your franchise for over a decade after that 7-0 game seven red-assed beat down in 2002. You haven't been the same franchise since. Oh we'll miss you but only because we put you in that hospital bed and enjoy pointing and snickering.
Columbus – You're coming East with us. Another division needed fodder so we could have four of the Original Six in one division. Sure it's an arranged marriage and you're getting an Ug-o partner but the Wings need what they need. Put on a new shirt and take a shower for the trip and you're riding in the trailer.
Dallas – Boy, these anecdotes make me smile. All this harkening back and all. Remember Dallas when the NHL had to come run your rink during the 1998 playoffs because your building gurus forgot the recipe for ice? That choppy, s***ty, bouncy ice you used to provide that by the end of a period looked like on my rink on Lake Louise in Ortonville Michigan on the first 40º day each year. Anyway your Cup title does come with an asterisk shaped like Brett Hull's foot.
Edmonton – Man was it fun watching your teams in the early 80's. That was some fun hockey. It changed the game the way the 49ers changed the NFL and Barcelona has changed soccer. We just didn't think you'd hold onto the Cup like a goddamn Pope. Those two playoff series in the late 80's were some firewagon hockey weren't they? Goose Loonies, Petr Klima and hey thanks for Kirk Maltby. One thing we'll never miss, that goal horn of yours. It's the worst horn sound there is. It sounds like the last sound you hear just before a bad car accident. There, I said it.
Los Angeles – While we're on the topic of things you do to piss me off that Eric Cartman shrill 'Go Kings Go' chant over the loudspeaker will never be missed. Ever. Never. Anyway, your teams have been a quite colorful pain in our side for the better part of fifteen years. We never know which uniform color scheme you'll show up in from one week to another (Ask Kings team President Luc Robitaille about the colors on his 2002 Stanley Cup ring) but you've also won your share against the Wings. Until last year you were only the Kings of the 10:30pm start. For that reason alone the Kings will look good in the rear-view mirror.
Minnesota – First you were there with Dino Ciccarelli next thing you know you're in Texas with Derian Hatcher and Mike Modano. Now you're back in Minnesota with a jack hole owner who bids hundreds of millions of dollars for players he's about to lock out because signing players to hundreds of millions of dollars is ridiculous. The Wild. LOL, see ya.
Nashville – How you guys kept Boris Bandenov behind your bench coaching all these years while Rocky and Bullwinkle never thought to look in Nashville was genius. Nashville is a fun town. Lots to do. One of the best experiences you can have after a game in an NHL city. But, you've been in the league how long and you have NO banners? NONE. ZERO. We understand Columbus, that's Ohio. Good luck in Kansas City or Portland, write when you find work.
Phoenix – Well, we'd say good luck desert dogs but you, like Nashville may be shoving off to elsewhere. We sure liked you more when you were Winnipeg. The white out was great and a real original thing at the time. Know what was cooler? Kris Draper. Do you realize his four Stanley Cups cost the Red Wings a quarter each? Yep, 25¢ per Stanley. If you bump into Moe Mantha say hi.
San Jose – Is Jamie Baker dead yet? Just asking. We sure played some great playoff series these two teams. You've come a long way since you broke into the league in the 'teal craze'. All those wins, all those playoff appearances, and nothing to show for it. Well, in the future should you actually decide to make the Stanley Cup Final perhaps we can meet again. Because as of this morning we're burning the road map and no longer know the way to San Jose.
St. Louis – Well old friends, I think we may miss you most of all. All the Probert and Kocur vs. Butcher and Chase and Twist battles. We could always count on a brawl with the Blues. A few playoff series between us, most of which we won but the Blues and their fans were always good. Say hi to the Cavallini brothers and we sincerely hope you break your 1967 jinx but certainly not at our expense. Ah memories of St. Loo:
Vancouver – Have you guys found Dan Cloutier yet? We're getting a little worried. Did the hippies kill and eat him after your game 7 loss to Boston? Did he fall into a crevasse on Vancouver Island? Let us know when you find him, we like him in Detroit. He could win a city council seat. We'll miss those 10pm Saturday night starts in old Vancouver town on the CBC. We'll miss the fawning over the Sedin twins. Wait, no we won't.
So it's SO LONG Western Conference, with a tear in our eye and a middle finger out the back window we head east. You're all still welcome to visit but please use the side door and make sure the neighbors didn't see you. We'll be adjusting to our new home and for once dealing with the fact we don't have the most Stanley Cups in our division.
That's going to change
Your Betters in Hockeytown

an occupation that involves taking (stripping) one's clothes off for the sexual stimulation of others. most strippers are female.
when a woman is a stripper, the only thing she has to be proud of herself is her body. her mind, her creativity and her emotions ultimately become something of little value and importance. it is depressing to know that some women think that the only thing valueable about themselves is their body and what they can do with it.

A girl that guys are dumb enough pay $20 for a 5 minute dry hump. She swoons at his ridiculous pickup lines and laughs at his stupid jokes to make him think he's getting somewhere with her, so he continues to fork out the money in hopes of impressing her to the point that he'll get more than just a case of blue balls and an experience to jack off to before going to bed that night. But after giving her the last of his money, she tells him she'll be right back. After several minutes he realizes she isn't coming back, so he leaves the club disappointed and flat broke, and as he's leaving, he sees her grindin her ass into some other dumb bastard's lap.
Chris Rock didn't do the song for his health, you know. It's a warning: "No matter what a stripper tells you, there's no sex in the champagne room."

Jury finds Terrance Black guilty of capital murder
Update: The jury has found Terrance Black guilty of capital murder. He will automatically be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. A formal sentencing hearing will be held shortly, and victim impact statements will be made.
Friends and family of Susan Loper sobbed after the verdict was announced. Black showed no reaction. An unidentified woman who supported Black left the courtroom angry, saying, "Automatic appeal. Susan did not get justice."
Update at 4:35 p.m. The jury has reached a verdict after about four and a half hours of deliberation. Everyone is gathered in the courtroom awaiting the judge and jury to come in.
Update at 1:30 p.m. The jury has sent out a series of notes asking for all of the exhibits, a list of the numbered exhibits so they can find them faster and a laptop to view the videos and photos stored on disk.
Update at 12:30 p.m. The jury of nine men and three women left the courtroom just before noon to begin deliberating. They are now sequestered, so they will not be going home until they deliver a unanimous verdict. Their choices for Terrance Black: guilty of capital murder, guilty of murder or not guilty.
Prosecutor John Schomburger offered closing arguments to the jury. He first addressed the unidentified DNA on Susan Loper's shirt. Defense attorney Toby Shook suggested it belonged to some unknown killer.
But Schomburger said that assumes the shirt was clean when she put it on and that it didn't pick up DNA on a bed or a chair or any other multitude of places. "It's a red herring," Schomburger told jurors. "You probably have unknown DNA on your shirts right now, but it means nothing." He said the killing was planned – his car was parked off-site, he wore gloves – and it was targeted at Loper. "This is someone who has disturbed thoughts," he said.
Schomburger said a significant question for jurors: If Black is innocent, where is the Ruger P95 9mm handgun and two boxes of ammunition he bought from a Fort Worth sporting goods store? Five live rounds of ammunition were found, and all came from the same gun. The same type of gun and the same type of ammunition that Black bought.
Plano police did an amazing amount of detective work to track down that purchase, Schomburger said. There is no centralized database of gun purchases. And since Black paid cash, there was no record in his finances. Police had to check at each individual store to see whether Black's name appeared in their customer records.
"He paid cash and he goes far outside where he lives to conceal it," Schomburger said. "That's big."
The prosecutor also brought up Black's suicide notes. A portion of one was found on his iPhone. Another was found crumpled up on a ledge at the Grand Canyon near a blood trail miles from where he leaped over the edge. The third was in his car near where park rangers found him. "He's probably the only person with a rough draft of a suicide note," Schomburger said.
The prosecutor pointed out that Loper is notably absent from those notes, especially since "she was the one" for him. "Why not name her if he's dying for her love?" Schomburger asked. "It's because he killed her."
Update at 11 a.m. Prosecutor Justin Johnson walked jurors through all the evidence against Terrance Black.
"Only this defendant had the knowledge, the means, the opportunity and the obsession to commit capital murder," he said.
He told jurors Black hacked into Susan Loper's email and knew she was on her last day at Gleneagles Country Club and that she would be there before 6:30 a.m. Notes on his iPhone calendar referenced his obsession: "Lost her again." "Decision Day for smoke her." "Can't let a bastard have my fine work."
He said the blood evidence in the car suggested Loper was alive when she left the country club. That is key because in order to prove capital murder, there has to be an intentional killing in the commission of another crime, in this case kidnapping. If she were dead, there could be no kidnapping. Johnson said Black was the only one to have a 9mm handgun. And he was the only one not available to police when Loper went missing.
But defense attorney Toby Shook said there were too many holes in the prosecution's case. He said police investigators had tunnel vision and didn't look at anyone else, including Jayson Hayes, Loper's boyfriend at the time of her death.
Shook said Black was upset over his finances, over losing his job, and yes, over losing Loper. "Does he look at her email and Facebook? Yeah, sure, he reminisces. But that's not admission of guilt," Shook said.
Most importantly, he said, was the DNA found on Loper's shirt that did not match Black or Hayes. Shook said analysts said it belonged to an unknown male. He said Loper put on clean clothes that morning and didn't come in contact with anyone that day other than her killer. "That's reasonable doubt," he told jurors.
The remainder of the closing arguments will resume shortly. And then the jury will begin deliberations.
Original: Closing arguments will begin shortly in the capital murder trial of Terrance Black, who is accused of killing his former girlfriend, Susan Loper, last year.
The courtroom is packed, with supporters for both Loper and Black in the courtroom. There weren't enough seats for everyone who turned out for the conclusion of this case.
Prosecutors say Black, 50, was obsessed with the 40-year-old single mother who broke up with him in 2009. Loper was working her last day at the Gleneagles Country Club before moving to her own studio. She showed up at about 6 a.m. to teach a Pilates session on April 19, 2011. Prosecutors say Black was waiting for her. Her fitness studio showed signs of a struggle.
Records show her Toyota Rav4 drove onto the Dallas North Tollway, exited at Lebanon Road and then re-entered the tollway 17 minutes later going southbound on the tollway. It exited at 6:38 a.m. at the Parker Road exit. Police found her blood-stained car in an apartment complex parking lot late that night. Her body was found the next day in a field east of the tollway in Frisco.
Loper died after being savagely beaten with some blunt object.
Black was arrested four days after her death as he jumped into the Grand Canyon in Arizona to flee from park rangers.
Defense attorneys say Black was upset over finances and tried to commit suicide. Evidence also showed he had cut his left wrist with a knife. His attorneys say his suicide attempt was not proof of murder.
The defense strategy throughout the trial was to get the jurors to look at Loper's boyfriend at the time of her death. They say Hayes had a history of violence against women and that he and Loper had had a big fight weeks before her death.
Among the strongest evidence against Black was his DNA found in Loper's car on the gearshift and the headrest. A single hair that matches less than 2 percent of the population, including Black, was also found in the car.
Defense attorneys pointed out that Hayes' DNA was also found in the car. Hayes' fingerprint was also found at the Pilates studio on a partition that had been knocked over.
If Black is convicted of capital murder, he will automatically be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Jurors also have the option of convicting him of murder, which carries a sentence of 5 to 99 years in prison. They could also find him not guilty.

I was recently advised by the city�s ever-vigilant parking barons that it is every resident�s responsibility to have coins upon their person at all times in case one needs to park downtown. Yes, one is not allowed to walk into a retail outlet to request change for the parking meter. Talk about government overreaching into our personal lives! Signed, Guess I�ll go shop at the big-box stores from now on.
Local residency comes with a host of solemn responsibilities that aren�t enshrined in the City Code.
The duty to sport spare specie is one of them. So is the obligation to put a bandana around your dog�s neck.
Being a Durangoan also requires one to wave at passing trains, own a car worth less than one�s bicycle and/or dress exclusively in Carhartts or fleece while complaining bitterly how there are no places to buy decent clothes.
This is what�s meant when real estate agents refer to �the Durango Lifestyle.�
And our lifestyle is only going to get better � because local government has only begun to overreach into your personal life.
If all goes according to plan, we could be free of the scourge of plastic grocery bags.
Likewise, the use of a legal product, cigarettes, will be banned from the Animas River Trail despite it being outdoors and 15 feet away from any building entrances.
Oh, and there�s the matter of additional trail signage. You know how Action Line feels about more signs in Durango.
The city estimates it will require $37,000 to erect stern prohibition notices on a path designed for nature appreciation.
Proponents insist the money can come from grants. But just where does �grant� money come from? There�s no such thing as a free lunch.
Anyway, sorry for the tangential tirade. It just that Action Line finished his taxes this week and ended up having to write checks to Uncle Sam and Gov. Hickenlooper.
Which is fine. Paying one�s fair share makes our society function.
It doesn�t mean one has to be thrilled at the prospect.
There goes a new pair of shoes for Mrs. Action Line.
It�s also disturbing and lamentable that some will construe this column to be affirmation of tea party gasbags. Rest assured, it is not.
But Durango is getting too uppity in its rules. Let�s take town�s marketing slogan to heart: �Durango � Get Real.�
Nevertheless, today�s issue is parking change, and there�s a backstory to this query.
The question-asker is a long time resident, a live-and-let-live libertarian and one of the nicest people on the planet.
She appealed a parking ticket, the only time she had done so in 30 years of residency.
�I thought, gee whiz, I was trying to do the right thing by running in (to a store) to get coins. And they had the audacity to write on the judgment form that all citizens have the responsibility to have coins on them at all times,� she wrote in a clarification email.
We asked Amber Blake, the city�s multimodal coordinator who also oversees parking, about this picky pocket-change precept.
�No, the city doesn�t require the public to carry change, but it�s a good idea when visiting downtown,� she said.
Blake pointed out a solution to the no-change conundrum: a preloaded cash key, which can hold up to 50 bucks in parking credit. Get �em at the Transit Center.
If you do carry coins, Blake says the containers for Airborne anti-cold tablets are perfect for quarters.
�Just don�t forget which container is which and plop a quarter in your drink,� she joked.
Likewise, a fizzy tablet won�t fit in a parking meter coin slot.
And that, somehow, brings us back to politics.
Regardless of party preference, every resident strongly believes in hope and change. Seriously.
Even the La Plata County Tea Party believes in hope and change:
We all really hope we have change when finding a downtown parking space.
Email questions to email@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you remember to put up your feeders this week for the soon-to-arrive broadtail hummingbirds.

LOCKPORT – The man who dumped a body in a North Tonawanda park after a fatal overdose in his apartment will serve one to three years in prison.
But Miguel E. Febres may face more serious legal troubles than the sentence Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas imposed Friday. Febres, 33, was arrested again after the county Drug Task Force raided his Zimmerman Street apartment Nov. 1 and seized 16 bags of heroin, allegedly packaged for sale. Agents also seized packaging material, a scale, a loaded handgun and $875 in cash.
The top charge is a Class B drug felony, which could bring Febres as long as nine years in prison if he convicted. Farkas warned Febres that any sentence she might eventually give him if he is convicted in that case will be added to the one she imposed Friday.
Febres pleaded guilty Aug. 2 to tampering with physical evidence for hauling the body of David C. Brandl, 22, of Lockport, about a mile, from Zimmerman Street to Mayor's Park, on the night of April 26-27. It was discovered the next morning by a National Grid crew.
Toxicology tests showed Brandl died of an overdose of heroin and cocaine.
Defense attorney Peter Pecoraro said Febres is also a heroin addict. Deputy District Attorney Holly E. Sloma said Febres provided drugs to Brandl on April 26.
"It wasn't his time to die in such a hideous manner and then be disposed of in the park," said Brandl's mother, Mary Hathaway. "My question to Mr. Febres is why nobody called 911 or took him to the hospital."
"You treated this young man like so much garbage," Farkas told Febres.
"I'm sorry for what happened," Febres said.
Two others who helped Febres dispose of the corpse have pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of attempted evidence tampering.

Okay, seriously, i have read about 4 pages of these and guys talk about girls literally shitting all over the place. You cant expect to just shove it up in her ass...and you shouldnt do this with complete strangers, ya never know who elses ass they have been up...I personally LOVE anal sex because when i do do it, its done right. If your worried about your girlfriend "Shitting" all over you (which rarely happens unless her ass is stretched out THAT much ick anyways) Ask her to do an enema a few hours before...it only takes 5 minutes and it COMPLETELY cleans the rectum out and its healthy to do..leaving room for your cock or plug for Double Pen, depending on what your in to and its MUCH more pleasurable...and there is NO mess or as some of you idiots would put it "corn shit" or whatever you guys said...Anal Sex is VERY pleasurable and orgasmic if you fucks would do it right...try the enema before, guaranteed its 100x better... Have a good one :D

There were parents and children, ministers and community members, suburban police chiefs, elected and appointed officials as well as candidates at a forum Wednesday night on homicides and other violent crimes in Buffalo .
Neither Mayor Byron W. Brown, a Democrat, nor representatives of the Buffalo Police Department attended, although they were invited, said the organizers, Erie County Legislature Chairwoman Betty Jean Grant and Legislator Timothy Hogues, both of them Democrats.
Bernard A. Tolbert, who is challenging Brown for the Democratic Party's nomination for mayor, took the opportunity to make his first major public statement on crime in the community, which he said is one of his platforms.
He said it was telling that members of the city Police Department did not attend the meeting in the Frank E. Merriweather Library on Jefferson Avenue.
"It doesn't matter how you feel about the individuals, Betty Jean Grant, Tim Hogues," he said. "When you've got this many people coming together to talk about something that impacts our city, when we're talking about a law enforcement issue, then the Buffalo Police Department, our law enforcement agency, needs to be here."
He said the police would be represented at meetings on safety and crime if he is elected as mayor.
"I know how to fight crime and I guarantee you one thing," said Tolbert, former head of the FBI's Buffalo office. "It doesn't matter where the venue, how many people, if we've got folks wanting to come together to talk about the crime problem in our city, I will guarantee you that the Buffalo Police Department will be represented, because the perception is they're going to think the Buffalo Police Department doesn't care."
Also attending were GOP mayoral candidate Sergio R. Rodriguez, as well as Democratic Erie County Sheriff candidates Richard Dobson and Bert Dunn, although none was given the chance to speak. Most of the summit was not about politics, but about the best way to stem the violence. With 21 homicides so far this year, Buffalo is about on track to match last year's total of 50, although police officials have noted recently that violent and other crimes have declined.
John A. Glascott, commissioner of Erie County Central Police Services, said the 911 system is almost overwhelmed with calls from Buffalo on weekend nights. It's partly a function of multiple calls on cell phones about the same incident, he said.
The Rev. George F. Nicholas, pastor of Lincoln Memorial United Methodist Church and Metropolitan United Methodist Church, urged the pastors in the audience of at least 150 people to join him on the podium, and about a dozen did. He urged them to work on solving problems that lead to violent crime.
"How long, and how many funerals of our young people are we going to go to before we decide, you know what, we're going to work together?" he asked, adding it doesn't matter who takes credit for helping. "If anyone is in a position of leadership in our community and they won't commit to work with their brothers and sisters who are also in leadership, we need to remove them from leadership."
The ministers pledged to meet again and to work together.
Several speakers encouraged adults to mentor young people, and one young woman stood up as an example of how to succeed.
"I was one of those kids who was an underdog. I was always told, 'Oh, you're not going to be anything, you're not going to do anything with yourself,'" said Marshay Miller of Buffalo Save the Kids. "If I can do it, anybody can. I come from the streets. I used to stand on the corner. I used to sell drugs."
A mini-uproar ensued near the end of the summit when one speaker accused Grant's husband of engaging in criminal activity, but the hubbub subsided and the meeting continued without incident.

All About Christopher Columbus (1451-1506)
Learn about the explorer's early life, his fateful trip, and his later voyages.
- Grades: 3–5, 6–8, 9–12
Christopher Columbus was an Italian-born navigator who sailed in the service of Spain. He is commonly described as the discoverer of the New World — America. Although Columbus was in search of a westward route to Asia by sea, the discoveries he did make were more important and valuable than the route he failed to find. It is certain, however, that Columbus was not the first European to cross the Atlantic. Documentary evidence supports claims that the Vikings reached the New World about A.D. 1000. And there is good circumstantial evidence, though no documentation, to suggest that both Portuguese and English fishing vessels made the crossing during the 14th century; they probably landed in Newfoundland and Labrador. Columbus, though he sailed a different route, followed many Europeans who earlier had crossed the Atlantic.
The Man: Columbus's Early Life
The best available evidence suggests that Christopher Columbus (Cristoforo Colombo in Italian; Cristóbal Colón in Spanish) was born in Genoa in 1451. His father was a weaver. Christopher had at least two brothers. The boy had little education; he learned to read and write only as an adult. He went to sea, as did many Genoese boys, and voyaged in the Mediterranean. In 1476 he was shipwrecked off Portugal, found his way ashore, and went to Lisbon. He apparently traveled to Ireland and England and later claimed to have gone as far as Iceland. Columbus was in Genoa in 1479. Returning to Portugal, he got married; however, he soon lost his wife, Dona Felipa, shortly after his son, Diego, was born (c.1480).
By this time Columbus had become interested in westward voyages. He had learned of the legendary Atlantic Ocean voyages and sailors' reports of land to the west of the Madeira Islands and the Azores. Acquiring books and maps, Columbus accepted Marco Polo's erroneous location for Japan — 2,400 km (1,500 mi) east of China. In addition, he accepted Ptolemy's underestimation of the circumference of the Earth and overestimation of the size of the Eurasian landmass. He came to believe that Japan was about 4,800 km (3,000 mi) to the west of Portugal — a distance that could be sailed in existing vessels. His idea was furthered by the suggestions of the Florentine cosmographer Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli. In 1484, Columbus sought support for an exploratory voyage from King John II of Portugal, but he was refused. The Portuguese also underestimated the distance but believed it to be beyond the capabilities of existing ships.
In 1485, Columbus took his son and went to Spain; there he spent almost seven years trying to get support from Isabella I of Castile. He was received at court, given a small annuity, and quickly gained both friends and enemies. An apparently final refusal in 1492 made Columbus prepare to go to France, but a final appeal to Isabella proved successful. An agreement between the crown and Columbus set the terms for the expedition.
The First Voyage
The Pinta, the Niña, and the Santa María were outfitted in the minor port of Palos. Columbus was aided in recruiting a crew by two brothers — Martín Alonso Pinzón, who received command of the Pinta, and his younger brother Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, who commanded the Niña. They left Palos on August 3, 1492; rerigged the Niña in the Canary Islands; and sailed to the west. Landfall was made on the morning of October 12, 1492; it was an island in the Bahamas that Columbus named San Salvador and historians later identified as Watling Island. (Watling was subsequently renamed San Salvador.) In 1986 a group of scholars claimed that the true landfall was Samana Cay, 105 km (65 mi) to the south.
The landing was met by Arawak, a friendly local population that Columbus called Indians. Some days later the expedition sailed on to Cuba; there delegations were landed to seek the court of the Mongol emperor of China and gold. In December they sailed east to Hispaniola, where, at Christmas, the Santa María was wrecked near Cap-Haïtien. Columbus got his men ashore. The Indians seemed friendly; therefore 39 men were left on the island at the settlement of Navidad while Columbus returned to Spain on the Niña. He had sailed due west from the Canaries with favorable winds; now he sailed north before heading east and so again found favorable winds. Martín Alonso Pinzón, who had explored on his own with the Pinta, rejoined Columbus, but the ships were separated at sea. In March 1493, Columbus finally landed in Lisbon and was interviewed by John II. Then he went to Palos and across Spain to Barcelona; there he was welcomed by Isabella and her husband, Ferdinand II of Aragon. Columbus claimed to have reached islands just off the coast of Asia and brought with him artifacts, Indians, and some gold.
The Second Voyage
Portuguese claims to Columbus's discoveries led Pope Alexander VI to issue papal bulls in 1493. These bulls divided the world into areas open to colonization by Spain and Portugal. The two nations moved the line of demarcation to 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands by the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) and undertook colonization.
Funded by Ferdinand and Isabella, Columbus set sail from Cádiz on his second voyage on September 25, 1493. This time he had 17 ships and almost 1,500 men. Again they stopped in the Canaries and then made landfall on November 3, 1493, near Dominica among the Lesser Antilles. The expedition then sailed through the Lesser Antilles; islands were sighted and named, and some were landed on. The explorers went past Puerto Rico and reached the site of Navidad on November 27–28, 1493. The encampment had been destroyed, and the Spaniards, who had seized gold and women, had been killed.
About 113 km (70 mi) to the east of Navidad's site, Columbus set up a new colony, named Isabela. He left in April 1494; explored the southern coast of Cuba, but did not prove it an island; discovered and circumnavigated Jamaica; and returned to Isabela after five months. Columbus tried to govern the colony until he returned to Spain in 1496. He was not a good administrator, however. With instructions to move the settlement to the south coast of Hispaniola, he left his brother Bartolomé in charge. This was done in 1496, and the settlement, named Santo Domingo, became the first permanent European settlement in the New World.
Columbus reached Cádiz in June 1496. He was coolly received at court. He had not found the rich Asian mainland, and his efforts to get gold from the Indians on Hispaniola had been only moderately successful. The Spanish settlers were unruly and would not work, and some had returned to Spain with complaints about Columbus.
The Third Voyage
Columbus was finally authorized to make a third voyage after the Portuguese had sent Vasco daGama off to India in 1497. Despite difficulties in recruiting a crew, Columbus departed Spain in May 1498. With six ships, he made landfall on Trinidad on July 31, 1498. The next day he reached the mainland and thus encountered South America.
Having found pearls at islands near the coast, the expedition then sailed across the Caribbean to Santo Domingo. The colonists there were in revolt, and Columbus soon had to face a royal commissioner, Francisco de Bobadilla, who arrived from Spain in 1500 with full powers. Bobadilla removed the Columbus brothers from the government and sent them back to Spain in chains. Although the ship's captain was willing to remove the shackles, Christopher insisted on going before Ferdinand and Isabella bound.
Fourth Voyage
Freed by royal command after arrival in Cádiz in November 1500, Columbus soon mounted a fourth expedition. It left Spain in May 1502, made a landfall at Martinique, and sailed to Santo Domingo. There he was denied permission to land, and his warnings about a hurricane were ignored. His ships weathered the storm, sailed west, and reached Guanaja Island, and then Honduras in Central America. Having missed the sites of the Maya, he sailed along the coast past Panama, finally heading again for Santo Domingo. His vessels, rotted by shipworm, were abandoned in Jamaica, where Columbus was marooned for a year. Finally rescued, he reached Spain in November 1504.
Christopher Columbus died in Valladolid on May 20, 1506, while pressing his claims at court. He still believed that he had reached Asia. He no longer had royal support, and the crown had, from 1495 onward, violated its original agreement with Columbus by authorizing others to sail to the Indies. Columbus's real greatness lies in the fact that having found the West Indies — making major errors in his navigational computations and location in doing so — he was able to find his way back to Europe and return to the Indies. It is as a result of Columbus's "discovery" that the New World became part of the European world.

The Legend: Who Was Columbus?
In 1828 the heroic image received canonization, with the publication of Washington Irving's massive biography of Columbus. Although Irving used recently published documents to correct the record on certain points, he deliberately retained the heroic portrait of Columbus that had become the popular staple. The work enjoyed sensational popularity. In all, 175 full editions and abridgments were published between 1828 and 1900, and Irving's biography influenced virtually every textbook for the next several decades.
As the 400th anniversary of the historic voyage approached, other authors were willing to take a less laudatory view. Justin Winsor's balanced biography, published in 1892, dealt with Columbus's overweening desire for fame and fortune, his misrepresentations of what he had found across the ocean, and his maladministration in the Indies, as well as with the positive qualities of mind and character that made him a pivotal historical figure. Winsor's views eventually made inroads into the standard myth of Columbus, at least among serious scholars. In the early 20th century, many authors were also willing to temper their admiration of Columbus with a discussion of his failings.
Nonetheless, the celebrations surrounding the fourth centenary of Columbus's voyage, particularly the Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in 1893, reconfirmed the popular image of Columbus as a prototypical American who embodied all the triumphant features of an America preparing to play a global role, as a rugged individualist who had opened the Western Hemisphere to the progress of American initiative.
In 1942, on the 450th anniversary of Columbus's first voyage, Samuel Eliot Morison published Admiral of the Ocean Sea, a massively documented, two-volume biography. Although he recognized the unappealing aspects of Columbus's career, Morison emphasized Columbus's talents as a mariner and geographical visionary. Morison's picture of Columbus the scientist and technician fit well with the 20th-century development of American technology, and his biography became popular and influential.
In textbooks and high school curricula, more recent events necessarily squeezed Columbus and other early figures into a diminishing compass. Even though scholars continued to publish well-rounded assessments of Columbus, and even though the extensive documents about him had been published for many decades, in the late 20th century it was possible for people to believe that little was known about Columbus because they had never learned much about him.
As 1992 and the quincentenary approached, new challenges loomed to the traditional view of Columbus. His image, manipulated for over two centuries to support American traditions, now became appropriated by critics of American policies. Supporters of Native Americans accused Columbus of initiating centuries of genocide toward the indigenous populations, even though it was disease that caused most of the demographic decline. Environmental activists sought to depict him as beginning a never-ending desecration of the supposedly pristine environment of the Americas, even though geographers and other scholars recognized the extensive human alterations made to the American landscape before 1492. Despite the furor, during the course of the quincentenary, books and articles, museum exhibits, and television programs disseminated a rounded view of Columbus. Columbus's attempt to reach Asia from Europe in 1492 failed, but from it developed increasingly complex global ties. The ultimate consequence, whether one celebrates or deplores it, is the interconnected modern world.

The 8 Most Violent Falls Ever Survived on YouTube
If you follow the laws of physics, gravity causes an object to fall at 9.8 meters per second squared. But there is no law on the Internet. Every day people upload videos of their friends smashing into the ground with a force far beyond the capabilities of our Earth's gravitational pull. In order to study this phenomenon and explain what science can't, I've developed a nearly mathematical system of collision analysis called Shit Eaten vs. Thinkable Impact, or SETI.
To find the SETI of a person, cat or fat person's fall, you simply take the amount of their Shit Eaten and divide it by the Thinkable Impact that should have occurred if physics were behaving itself. For example, if a man was walking on the ice and ate total shit from a 3-foot fall, you'd have a SETI rating of 33 percent. Everything over 50 percent is technically impossible, and a full SETI rating of 100 percent requires someone to completely explode from a calm, motionless position. A rating of 0 percent either indicates no impact or a massive -- but perfectly reasonable -- impact based on the distance traveled prior to the eating of your shit. For example:
SETI: 0 percent
Yes, it's an amazing impact, and this man's prostate probably deployed out the back of him like an airbag, but given his rate of speed and trajectory, that's exactly what should have happened. Now, let's examine the SETI of some of the Internet's greatest hits, lovingly illustrated by me and my Nintendo.
#8. Mechanical Bull Face Plant
SETI: 52 percent
YouTube has no shortage of fat women riding mechanical bulls, and the reason for this is obvious. A 400-pound lady struggling onto a robot cow is exactly why they put a camera on your phone. Hydraulic lifts call these videos "sex tapes."
What's special about this one is that it isn't the same old slow, heaving build to a predictable fall. Instead, the mechanical bull operator gives us two sneak previews of what's coming. He barely starts the bull twice, and even on the lowest setting, it instantly sends the woman's face crashing into the bull. It's almost like like her lower body was only there to dangle while her top half bounced through our world. This woman's weight distribution is a medical anomaly. You can't counterbalance a garbage bag full of hams with two hollow mannequin legs and call it a person -- that's how you build a trebuchet.
H- How!?
Future victims of hilarious violence can exacerbate their upcoming impact by building up potential energy. I went to public school, so my understanding of potential energy mostly comes from a book report I did on the film Ski Patrol, but it's something like this: You can tell how hard someone is going to party at the bottom of a mountain by how stupid they look at the top of it.
As you can see from the video, this woman spends a huge amount of time looking stupid and building up nervous energy. SETI Fact: When an asshole is about to eat shit, nervous energy has the same scientific properties as potential energy. The longer you giggle and chat before a fall, the longer Physics has to stand behind you and wait, and Physics hates waiting. So as Physics watched this silly woman learn nothing from two face plants, it decided that as soon as that bull got turned up to 0.5, it was going to stop wasting everyone's time and drive her head into it with the screaming power of 1,000 meteors. The universe is like a loose-cannon cop: Sometimes it has to break the law to enforce it.
#7. Afroninja
SETI: 58 percent
Science has never gotten along with the ninja. One side is always going, "You can't explain me!" while the other shrieks, "Who said that!?" It's gotten so bad that if you put Science and a ninja in the same room, they just pretend the other doesn't exist, and they're both right. This video shows exactly why they should never work together. A man with two sets of nunchucks walks in front of a camera and hisses at it. Why? Well, I've found that if you're polite while you hold nunchucks, you never get a chance to use them. Speaking of nunchucks, I'd like to point out that after this guy gets knocked senseless and loses one of his nunchucks, his body's first instinct is to twirl the hell out of the remaining one and jump into a nearby drum kit. That speaks volumes about how much this man kicks ass.
H- How!?
Here's my theory: In the middle of this guy's back flip, science decided to get revenge on the ninja community for all their years of levitating and vanishing. It stopped his rotation precisely at the point that turned his feet into a fulcrum and transferred all his momentum into the world's most amazing headbutt. Seriously, that floor had to go to the hospital. Some experts still argue that science had nothing to do with this -- it's simply what happens when a lazy ninja is transforming into a diving falcon and forgets to do the non-face parts of his body.
#6. Dance Dance Revolution Fatty
SETI: 61 percent
There is another organization that uses the acronym SETI -- the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. And while I respect their desperate efforts to tell star monsters where we are, my system of Shit Eaten vs. Thinkable Impact measures things far more impossible than extra-terrestrial life. For instance, everything in this video.
H- Hhow!?
Every time you add a pound of fat to your body, you also add 3.5 miles of blood vessels. This kid was dancing at a rate of 7 Footlooses per second, and in order for his heart to pump enough blood to his feet for that, it had to summon an otherworldly amount of energy. Ancient wizards called this technique "witchcraft." Modern scientists call it the same fucking thing.
If they have the Internet in the afterlife, all of Sir Isaac Newton's friends posted this on his Facebook page with the comment "lol u were wrong about everything." If every action had an equal and opposite reaction, then everything below this kid should be dead, including the Earth. Watch when he finishes moving his feet like a falling cartoon and he begins his dismount from Dance Dance Revolution's 2-inch platform. He braces himself with his hand and still manages to leave a crater in both the arcade game and the floor. SETI Fact: Inertia refuses to be mocked by the obese.
#5. "Hilarious" Graduation Stunt Accidentally Becomes Hilarious
SETI: 63 percent
Every outrageous person knows that a graduation ceremony is the perfect platform for wacky antics. The whole reason they give you robes is so you can more efficiently expose your penis. But for every legitimate penis shown to the mothers and fathers of your classmates, there's 20 graduating seniors who do something that's barely silly. This girl came up with the uninspired idea to do a little dance, and the dark gods expecting a penis were not pleased. They yanked her brainpan into the stage so hard that the education she'd just completed was squirting out her ears.
H- How!?
Give the unseen and unexplainable hand of fate some credit. What kind of a universe would this be if this type of behavior went unpunished?
