What Is Mitral Valve Surgery?
Mitral valve surgery is a treatment for mitral valve disease. Your mitral valve connects the two chambers in the left side of your heart. These are called the left atrium and the left ventricle. The mitral valve allows blood to flow properly through the two chambers.
In mitral valve disease, the mitral valve doesn't work properly. Mitral valve surgery allows a surgeon to repair or replace your mitral valve.
Mitral valve surgery can be performed in two ways:
- as a "minimally invasive" procedure, where the surgeon makes several smaller incisions in your chest to reach your heart
- as an "open" procedure, where the surgeon makes one large incision in your breastbone to access your heart
When Do You Need Mitral Valve Surgery?
Your doctor may recommend surgery if you have any of the following problems:
Mitral Valve Prolapse
In this condition, the mitral valve does not close properly. Instead, the valve bulges up into the atrium.
Mitral Regurgitation
This condition is often a result of mitral valve prolapse. Improper mitral valve closure causes blood to leak back into your left atrium.
Mitral Stenosis
This is a narrowing of the opening in the mitral valve. It restricts blood flow through your heart.
Endocarditis can cause your valve to be damaged by infection.
Progressive Heart Damage
Damage to the mitral valve can cause serious problems with heart function. This may require surgery.
Other Heart-Related Problems
Surgery may also be needed if valve changes cause serious heart problems, such as chest pain, fainting, difficulty breathing, or heart failure.
When Do You Need Open Mitral Valve Surgery?
Your doctor will advise you whether minimally invasive or open surgery is more appropriate for you.
When possible, your doctor will probably recommend minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery generally results in less blood loss, lower risk of infection, and faster recovery.
However, minimally invasive surgery isn't appropriate for everyone. Some people will need open mitral valve surgery.
Some specific reasons why open surgery may be needed include:
- a diagnosis of heart disease
- failure of a previous valve replacement
- previous heart surgery
Valve replacement may also be performed during other open-heart surgery. This can reduce the need for a second surgery.
How Do You Prepare for Open Mitral Valve Surgery?
It's important to tell your doctor about any medications you are taking before your procedure. Some drugs may make it harder for your blood to clot. This could cause increased bleeding and other problems during your surgery. Make certain to mention nonprescription drugs and supplements.
You should also tell your doctor if you have a cold, flu, or any other illness in the days leading up to your scheduled surgery. Infection of the heart can be very dangerous.
Women should tell their doctor or nurse if they may be pregnant.
Your doctor may ask you not to eat or drink anything—including water—after midnight the night before surgery. If your doctor gives you medicine to take prior to the surgery, be sure to take it using only a small sip of water.
You will need to spend up to a week in the hospital after surgery. Make certain to prepare your work and family for the time you will be away. Talk to your doctor about any physical and emotional concerns you have for your surgery and hospital stay. That will help you to be as ready as possible for your admission.
You may want to bring a friend or relative to your preadmission appointment. They can help you remember any questions and take notes on what your doctor says.
What Is Involved in Open Mitral Valve Surgery?
You can expect to undergo the following steps as part of open mitral valve surgery:
- You will receive general anesthesia, to allow you to sleep without pain during the surgery.
- Your surgeon will make a cut that is 10 inches long through your chest.
- In order to see your heart, your surgeon will separate your breastbone.
- You may be hooked up to a heart-lung machine, which will circulate your blood while your heart is stopped for surgery
- Your surgeon will make a small cut in the left side of your heart in order to repair or replace your mitral valve.
The exact surgical procedure that takes place next depends on whether your valve is being repaired, or completely replaced.
If your mitral valve is not too damaged, your surgeon may try to repair it by:
- sewing a ring made of metal, tissue, or cloth around the valve to reinforce the outside ring
- trimming, rebuilding, or reshaping one of the three flaps that allow the valve to open and close
If your mitral valve is too damaged to repair, your surgeon may choose to replace it. This means that your surgeon will remove your damaged mitral valve and sew a new one into place.
Both synthetic valves and biological valves are available. The synthetic ones last longer, but they are more likely to cause clots. You will need to be on blood thinners for the rest of your life. Biological valves only last 10 to 12 years, but do not always require blood thinners.
Surgery will last three to six hours.
What Can You Expect After Open Mitral Valve Surgery?
Immediately following open mitral valve surgery, you will need to spend one to two days in the intensive care unit (ICU) of your hospital.
You will then usually be moved to a regular hospital room. Most people need to spend up to a week in the hospital recovering.
While in the ICU, you will have tubes in your chest to help drain fluid. These tubes are usually removed within three days of your surgery.
What Are the Benefits and Risks of Open Mitral Valve Surgery?
Heart valve surgery can produce several benefits. These include:
- better quality of life
- prolonged life
- reduced heart symptoms
While major complications are rare with open-heart surgeries, all open-heart surgeries do involve some risk. Some people may get an infection in the cut. This is more likely to happen if you are obese or diabetic, or if you have had mitral valve surgery before. Other possible complications include:
- heart rhythm problems
- loss of mental clarity
- low-grade fever
These complications are temporary and should resolve as you recover.
Mitral valve surgery does carry a risk of stroke. According to a study published in the journal Innovations: Technologies and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, the risk is lower for open surgery than minimally invasive surgery. The study found stroke risk to be 2.1 percent for minimally invasive surgery and 1.2 percent for open surgery (Falk).
Stroke risk is also higher for artificial valves than biological valves. Synthetic valves are more likely to develop blood clots.
However, synthetic valves have other advantages. They can last for up to 20 years. For younger patients, this may double the time between valve replacements. The longer useful lifespan for mechanical valves may be less of a concern for elderly recipients.

Michigan cities continue to lose population
Michigan cities continue to see their populations shrink.Where's everyone going? Texas, it seems.
The U.S. Census is out with new numbers today that show population shifts in the nation's 715 largest cities. And the data is not good for Michigan.
Seven Michigan cities ranked at the bottom of the list of the nation's cities with more than 50,000 residents.
According to the report, Dearborn, Detroit, Livonia, Westland and Taylor all saw their populations drop 1 percent from 2010 to 2011.
Flint, Battle Creek and Saginaw also posted sharp population declines.
These latest population losses come after Michigan posted a slight population decline between the 2000 and 2010 censuses.
Meanwhile, Texas had eight of the top 15 fastest-growing cities during the past year, according to the U.S. Census.

Hey - I was going to look into it. Are you familiar with a lot of the strategies from GC0 like scoring 1 Trillion points? What's the most you've ever scored in GC0 (me - 2 Trillion, but that's 2 Trillion before wave 42, and that probably will never be broken).
Posted Feb 16, '11 at 7:13pm
"Hey Everyone, After we have solved all the technical problems working together with the fellows at Armor Games, and the playtesting is also done, we have agreed on setting the release date to February, the 17th. To those players who still believe that the game will be released, thanks for the supportive comments."
Ok, first of all, the game will be out 17, tomorrow. So you can check at the blog of their site, but i will make a little before-game review
Lots of amulets Stats page Kill counter Gem target priorities: yeah, they will attack guys with least health or with more or first in row, you decide Amplifiers: give more stats to close towers (gems) It will be wayyyyy harder, but you can redo levels to get AGAIN the experience. This means that you can grind to get more exp. New graphics!: the game will be darker this timer
"In GC0, there were battle modes like Endurance or Sudden Death. In GCL, you can mix various settings, including number of monsters, number of waves (including endurance), giant monsters only or every sencond wave, or more monster armor.Each setting gives a multiplier to the final XP you get at the end of the stage (just like the battle amulets you earn). You can mix an easy mode and earn lots of battle amulets, play it hard and earn a few, or level up and boost your skills, then play a hard mode and still achieve tons of amulets." Says the blog
You can now see again the tutorial panels (if you clicked skip accidentaly) "High contrast mode: For players with impaired vision, there's a new checkbox in the Options screen. Enabling it makes path tiles lighter, the ground and monsters darker, and shots get a dark outline to make them pop out of the background more." Says the blog
Now you can stop the time inside the game to make your strategy better.
Now, when you start waves early, you get a mana boost. 3D!: No, the game is not 3D, but the amulets page is!
Confirm retry/retreat: now before exiting there will ask you to confirm! no more horrible accidents!
NEW maps and battle settings!
New skill panel with 27 skills. New ways of moving it faster, also some unlimited skills.
WOW THINGS " Gem Anvil: To further ease the wrist pain, you can clone any of your gems. Drag it over the Anvil (the middle section of the gem creation/types panel), and release it.
Time freezing: Just 3 minor things to mention here: In the Options screen, you can select to automatically freeze the time when a stage starts, so you can prepare your defenses without losing any time. It's unchecked by default, because players new to the game might get confused by the game never starting.
What are clhallenge amuets, by the way: -They have a high requirement to meet -They are tied to a particular stage -They remember your best try, even if you have already acquired them." Diferent extracts from the blog
And now some moar images Now you can build shrines!
"Juggling: Making a long path for the monsters to walk, and removing a wall at its beginning and closing the path at its end, forcing the monsters to go backwards, thus back and forth with repeated wall adding-removing, a.k.a. juggling, is an exciting, but too powerful trick. To avoid it breaking the game, there is a limit to how much of your own buildings you can demolish. The base limit is 3, and it can be upgraded with a skill to 13, giving you some juggling fun, and the possibility to reap a much higher XP from many stages, but you can't do it indefinitely." says it

Slight title edit. :P
(i will edit this post when game is out)
You can't edit posts in this version of ArmorGames, but once you have the walkthrough ready you're welcome to make a new thread. :)

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Sherifa D. Zuhur.
Efforts to separate HAMAS from its popular support and network of social and charitable organizations have not been effective in destroying the organization, nor in eradicating the will to resist among a fairly large segment of the Palestinian population. It is important to consider this Islamist movement in the context of a region-wide phenomenon of similar movements with local goals, which can be persuaded to relinquish violence or which could become more violent. Certainly an orientation to HAMAS and its base must be factored into new and more practical and effective approaches to peacemaking in the region. At the same time, HAMAS offers a fascinating glimpse of the dynamics of strategic reactions and the modification of Israeli impulses towards aggressive deterrence, as well as the evolution in the Islamist movements' planning and operations. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict bears similarities to a long-standing civil conflict, even as it has sparked inter-Palestinian hostilities in its most recent phase.

WOW, now things are going to get on the right track, I get........s/o
bet not get, sloppy fingers.
Waiting for Boehner to cave ~ 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94 ...
When our side holds the Dems´ feet to the fire, we should support them. If later they cave, then we can always be critical, but for the moment Boehner and McConnell are holding firm, so let´s enjoy the moment.
More drama for the masses. I predict this will go down to the wire and then……. BAM!!! A magical compromise will be found and all will be well with the world. Obama will get his way and the Repubs will exclaim they had no choice but to compromise and got the best deal they could under the dire circumstances. Then they will tell us that this compromise puts in a much better position for the next fiscal calamity which is just around the corner. They are all on the same team up there in DC, just a sorry bunch a back slappin bastids!!
Boehner...unable to find the right words.No good ahead.
Boehner deserves credit here. He´s maneuvered himself into a position of strength. Obama has to make concessions or the cuts automatically take hold.I expect the attacks on the speaker will be as ugly and vile as any we´ve ever seen.
So far so good. Let´s hope he keeps his word. I will be first to compliment the Speaker if he stands firm. He can be in the position of strength this time IF he plays it right.
They talk and talk of cutting cost (a tiny little bit) then we hear talk of giving illegals everything.
Finally Little John can do something positive for the country if he can just keep his mouth firmly shut. No compromise, please.

Robertson leads OM men to 19th-place finish at NCAA meet
Led by high jumper Ricky Robertson, the Ole Miss men's track team was able to finish 19th out of 71 programs at the NCAA Outdoor Championships held at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Ole Miss totaled 13 points in the meet that was won by Texas A&M with 55 points. (June 13, 2011, Page 6)

A stretch of Third Avenue Southeast that was worked on last summer was discussed at Monday's Aberdeen City Council meeting.
Councilman David Bunsness said new asphalt on Third Avenue between Lloyd and Dakota streets is raveling, meaning that parts of the surface are starting to come loose.
The two-block stretch was part of a mill and overlay project last summer, said city engineer Robin Bobzien.
One reason for the raveling, Bobzien said after the meeting, was that the work was done a little later in the summer. Asphalt needs to be compacted very well in order to prevent the intrusion of salt and chemicals, he said. Because of lower temperatures, the compaction might not have been as good as usual.
In addition, a lot of salt was put down last winter, he said.
But the problem is repairable with minor patching and a heavier seal coat, Bobzien said. He expects that work to be done this summer.
In addition, a procedure called a fog seal is effective at preventing such problems from happening, he said.
Also at the meeting, councilman Jim Kraft noted that streets are not in good shape at four railroad crossings: Sixth Avenue, State Street, Kline Street and County Road 19.
Bobzien talked about the reasons for that and said efforts will be made to solicit help from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.
Also at the meeting, the council:
·Heard a request from Betty Breck of Groton for a city response to open meetings law complaints she filed against the Aberdeen City Council
See Council, Page 8A

Not really much of a tribute...
It's just a simple running scene... And you forgot a Character... You didn't really honor the game. Sorry, but this is a 0.
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars October 17, 2009
You call that a tribute?
What was that? That didn't last nearly long enough to serve any purpose whatsoever. Also, where was Ayla? You know, the girl from the Prehistoric Era? Yeah, that one. Here's a thought: next time you try to make a tribute for ANYTHING, you need to 1. Include all of the characters from the game, 2. Make the tribute longer than approximately 20 seconds, and 3. Don't insult people with your lackluster effort or lack of appreciation! This was a horrible animation in my opinion.

u forgot 1 more character u no that rite? u must not be a real chrono trigger player if you dont have all the character. NOOB!

21. Amazon
Books, United States (Public)
Last year's rank: N/A
Digital Content Revenue
$1,850,000,000 (3% of total)
Digital Snapshot
Key Move
Our Methodology
Amazon's global physical and digital "media" (i.e., content) sales in 2011 were $17.78 billion, according to Amazon. The company doesn't break out digital content sales, and analyst Ben Schacter at Macquarie calls this kind of estimate "impossible." Nevertheless, Barclays took a stab, estimating that Amazon's 2011 digital content revenue (defined as content sold on Kindle e-readers, Kindle Fire and non-Amazon devices, not including apps, video, etc) was between 7.5% and 11% of total global media sales. Using 10%, that would be $1.78 billion.
Here's another way to look at it: We know that Barnes & Noble, which has roughly a 25% share of the U.S. e-book market, sold $463 million worth of digital content (apps, e-books, digital newsstand) for the year ending April 28, 2012. Amazon has roughly 60 percent of the U.S. e-book market and, unlike Barnes & Noble, also sells videos and music and operates internationally. S,o using B&N's figure as a gauge, we could estimate that Amazon's digital content was between three and five times higher than Barnes & Noble's. Three times higher is $1.39 billion; four times higher is $1.85 billion; five times higher is $2.3 billion. We used the middle estimate ($1.85 billion.)
This estimate doesn't include any revenue from Amazon Prime, which includes some free content for members who pay $79 a year for expedited shipping.

Police ID factory worker dead of apparent electrocution
Police have identified the man who died after an incident at a manufacturing plant in Florissant.
An employee at St. Louis Cold Drawn Inc on Pershall Rd found the victim lying on the ground near an electrical box. The man, identified as Mach Nguyen was taken to the hospital where he died.
This is being investigated as an accidental death and a cause of death will be released after an autopsy.
Accident flips over one car, closes intersection in Clayton
An accident has the intersection of Brentwood and Maryland in downtown Clayton shutdown.
It appears that a teenage driver ran a red light and was t-boned by a Mercedes. The teen's SUV flipped over and several bystanders pulled the boy from the car.
KTRS News spoke to one man who was involved in accident and he shared his thoughts as he saw the accident unfold. "You know people say it's all in slow motion. What was running through my head, was I was actually trying to put my car in reverse", he said. "I was just about managed to do it when he hit me."
No word on any injuries as a result of that accident, but police are on the scene and directing traffic away from the intersection.
Small helicopter crashes in downtown Honolulu
HONOLULU (AP) — A small helicopter lost power and came crashing down on a busy downtown Honolulu street Wednesday afternoon, but no one was seriously injured, authorities said.
"It's a pretty miraculous situation that no one was badly hurt by this," said Capt. Terry Seelig, a spokesman for the Honolulu Fire Department. "This is a pretty busy area."
The helicopter was on a photography flight when it lost power, forcing a crash landing on Fort Street, which is home to a large apartment complex and Hawaii Pacific University. The area is usually full of university students and downtown office workers, and has a lot of vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
The chopper ended up along a curb, badly damaging a parked car, Seelig said. A fire station is also on that street, so firefighters who heard the crash ran out to help.
The pilot, Julia Link, told KITV everything seemed normal until all of the sudden it got quiet and the engine quit. Repeatedly training for this type of scenario helped her bring the helicopter to the ground, she said.
"First I thought it was a joke and then, I was like 'Oh my God, this is for real," said the 30-year-old.
She was grateful the problems developed when the aircraft — which she said was brand new — was 3,000 feet above ground as that gave her a lot of time to plan their descent.
Link said she's glad everyone walked away alive and no one was seriously hurt.
The 71 year old male passenger was treated at the scene for minor injuries to his head, Honolulu Emergency Services spokeswoman Shayne Enright said.
The chopper was operated by Mauna Loa Helicopters. Representatives of the company couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Preliminary information indicates the Robinson R22 Beta had an engine failure, said Allen Kenitzer, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
Police search for suspect's car after overnight hit-and-run
The search continues for a driver who hit a man then left the scene.
Police say the accident happened at the Park Meadows Apartments near Woods Mill and Manchester just after midnight today. The victim remains in the hospital with unknown injuries.
Police have not released any description of the suspect's car.
Man headed to prison for causing fatal accident in 2011
The South Roxana, Illinois man who admitted to hitting and killing a motorcyclist two years ago, will head to prison.
Lloyd Denny told prosecutors he was talking on his phone and taking prescription medications when he rear ended the motorcycle and killed Bradley Umphlett in Alton. KSDK reports that just days before his sentencing, Denny's bond was revoked for possession of heroin.
Denny will spend three years behind bars.
Accident in North St. Louis sends three kids, two adults to the hospital
Three children are in the hospital after a car accident in north St. Louis Wednesday morning.
Police say two vehicles collided at the intersection of Goodfellow and Wells. One of the cars flipped over and two people were trapped inside.
Everyone was freed from the overturned car and the kids, along with two adults, were taken to the hospital. Their conditions are not known at this time.
Wentzville man found dead in Dallas, TX hotel
DALLAS (AP) - A hotel guest from Missouri has been found dead in the atrium lobby of the 30-story Hyatt Regency Dallas after apparently falling from an upper floor.
Dallas police say a hotel security guard early Wednesday discovered the body of 37-year-old Craig McKinnon Berry of Wentzville, Mo. A police report says a hotel employee heard a loud thud and contacted security.
A hotel spokesman says the guest apparently fell from one of the upper floors. The downtown Dallas hotel's interior atrium has 18 stories.
Police are investigating the incident as an unexplained death. Further details weren't immediately available.
Popular O'Fallon, IL teacher remembered after dying in fall
A tragic accident claims the life of a well-liked teacher and coach in O'Fallon, Illinois.
The Belleville News Democrat reports 33-year-old O'Fallon Township High School teacher Matt Seipp died Monday at St. Louis University Hospital after falling from a ladder on Sunday.
Seipp, who also owned Seipp Lawn Care LLC in O'Fallon, was well-known throughout the community.
The paper reports O'Fallon Police Chief John Betten says Seipp apparently died as a result of injuries after falling off a ladder Sunday.
Betten said officers responded to a 911 call at 12:36 p.m. Sunday for a male victim with unknown injuries in the 800 block of Scott-Troy Road.
When officers and emergency workers arrived on scene, Betten said they determined the victim had fallen from a ladder while working in the garage and sustained injuries to his head. He was transported to Anderson Hospital in Maryville with the intent of meeting ARCH Air Medical Services there. Rainy weather prevented the crew from flying.
O'Fallon EMS proceeded to transport Seipp by ambulance to St. Louis University Hospital. A spokesman for the hospital declined to give Seipp's condition and referred questions to the family, which is standard policy when a death has occurred. Members of the immediate family could not be reached.
Seipp was a teacher in the industrial technology department at OTHS. He began his career at OTHS during the 2002-03 school year.
He also served as assistant baseball coach for the O'Fallon Panthers in 2003 and 2004. Seipp is survived by his wife, Jodie, and infant son, Drew. Jodie Bell Seipp also works at OTHS as chair of the English Department.
Students, colleagues and friends of Seipp flooded Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites with tributes.
Guidance counselors and social workers are available at O'Fallon Township High School for any student or employee needing assistance, according to Benway. Flags at all O'Fallon schools are being flown at half-staff in Seipp's memory, Benway said.
Funeral arrangements are pending at Schildknecht Funeral Home in O'Fallon.
UPDATE: Collinsville Rd reopens in Fairmont City, IL; one dead in crash
One person is dead after being thrown from a car in an accident off Collinsville Road. A portion of the road was shut down between N 47th St and N 49th St. in both directions in Fairmont City Monday morning and reopened near noon.
The Illinois State Police report a GMC Denali and Buick LeSabre were speeding westbound down Collinsville Road,
Both cars lost control and spun off to the right.
It's unclear if the two cars were racing but the Illinois State police said they were speeding. The accident happened around 4:45 Monday morning.
Fox 2 News reports several parents arrived at the scene as police interviewed several young people.
No names have been released.
St. Charles County man faces charges after accident kills unborn baby
A St. Charles County man faces over three decades in prison for allegedly causing an accident that took the life of an unborn baby.
Prosecutors say Paul Murphy was under the influence of benzodiazepine--an anxiety and insomnia medication--when he hit the car carrying a pregnant woman on March 16. The woman was 19 weeks pregnant when the accident happened and she gave birth to a still born baby.
If convicted on all three counts of assault he faces, Murphy could spend 36 years behind bars.

..headed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Minister of Finance of Dubai.This delegation was on hand for the opening of Dubai International Horse Fair where I happen to have some prints on the wall. A fascinating new world for me here in the Emirates.

Pastel pencils, watercolors? If this were a narrative moment or sign, a verb or an adjective I have no idea what it would be. But to me has something very analogous to those horses of Divided Soul. Kind of Pictoric, all in suspense, arrested tension, like a complete pause sensation but a pause not in the pace of the events, just a perception of it, that pause feeling you might have on the recognition of a point as a turning point
David, you should see if you can hitch a ride with Sheikh Maktoum from there to here in Kentucky. Keeneland racing is starting up the first week in April. Owning a large farm and throughbred operation here, he is usually in town for it and arrives in two 747 jumbo jets (one for him and his family and associates, and one for the horses).
Great shot, the movement and feel remind me of soaps suds party.
again, my apologies for not being here in the comments section…by surprise , i am shooting around the clock..have not slept since my arrival….thought i was only here to show my prints, yet now am totally fascinated by Dubai and doing as much as i can while i can….things will ease up a bit after this weekend and i can come back here to participate a bit…
stay tuned,,,
cheers, david

I agree with all comments. David, your last photos are awsome!
I keep hearing the new Fuji X100S is rather brilliant. It seems the developers have managed fix most of the negative points on the earlier version…
Once again, it is Satuday, the seventh day, the day I am free to drop into Burn, roam around, make comments and such, so I say "hi."
As to the photo above, I join in the rote but true praise.
It is awesome.
Who can know where comments and links are supposed to go nowadays :))
so i guess here is as good as any.
Took the cameras out of mothballs finally and shot at a funky rock and roll party.

Nice shots. Looks like an interesting event.
I like the old school feel in 2, 3, and 15 especially.
John, good thing you posted your link on Saturday, my Burn day. Strong stuff, classic John Gladdy. I hope you are feeling well.
John Gladdy…
Happy to see at last some new work from you. Strong stuff.
Yes film isn't dead. I went to the beach on Friday with my new Samsung S3 phone camera with Instagram and my Fuji 6×7 rangefinder and happily shot away with both cameras. Met a 17 year old kid who I noticed was taking pictures of his friends with a film camera. Said he didn't need the immediacy of digital and film was the "Real thing".
John it is great to see that grit back into your images some impressive singles there'

Calling it a "gateway drug" alludes to it being harmless itself. The addictiveness of…Read More marijuana is unquestionable and the long-term mental and physical problems it causes are real and serious. I have numerous friends who smoked a lot during college who have had serious anxiety issues much later in life that are directly relating to pot smoking, and that's a minor compared to the lung cancer and other risks use can lead to. One friend went to his physician complaining about anxiety issues, and the first thing to come out of the doctor's mouth was "did you use marijuana when younger?", enough said.
jag March 10, 2014 at 02:28 am
Marijuana is categorically, factually, not a gateway drug.
Tom, of course marijuana use isn't the…Read More healthiest thing under the sun, but unless you're suggesting the government should outlaw everything from alcohol to cigarettes to cigars to saturated fat, then that's not a real argument. I don't smoke anything, but if I did, I'd be waaaaaaaay better off - health wise - smoking pot recreationally over smoking a pack a day of cigarettes or a cigar a day. Or drinking a fifth of vodka a day or eating a sleeve of Oreos a day. The government has a vested and appropriate interest in keeping the population from inflicting mortal harm upon itself, but marijuana most certainly does not meet the threshold whereupon the government should entirely criminalize the substance.

A mean glare is not bullying. An unkind word here or there is not bullying. Fighting bullying is…Read More today's thought control of a progressive tyrannical government in motion. If little Johnny sees someone wearing a blue coat little Johnny can freely express his distaste of blue coats. He might even glare at a person wearing a blue coat.

Maybe they need to focus on this kind of stuff through child protective services instead of someone that spanked their kid or someone that dont clean their home and maybe kids would be protected better. We have laws in place use them wisely instead of stupidly.

Was…Read More he paid for years ahead of time or was he doing this just out of the goodness of his heart? As others have mentioned, how was her mail picked up? True, she may have had a mail slot that was built into the front of her house and perhaps never had anything ever delivered. Another possibility may be a post office box that she rented but after a while it would seem that even the "junk mail" would build up even in that case. One last possibility may be that the "grass cutter" periodically retrieved the mail: he might even could have had a key to her place but never went into the garage. A bit mysterious nevertheless.

Sea World does not offer whale watching and the last I've been to Sea World, no whales there. Sea World's bottom line is making money. They are not a marine sanctuary, nor an institute...well...on paper they say they have an institute...maybe for making money. Sea World is a theme park. Nothing more. Shamu is on display for one purpose and that's for our entertainment. If you want to know more about the wild and wooly Pacific Ocean, go to Scripps Aquarium or the Marine Institute at Dana Point. It's cheaper and much more educational. Make a day trip there if you live in the Inland Empire. If you ride motorcycles, let me know and I'll ride with you. Be careful when you go, you'll turn into a tree hugger like me.

In my opinion, entitling the article 'Maryland Style Crabcakes Aren't Real Deal" defines how…Read More the crabmeat receipe is prepared not where the crabs are caught. I traveled with my family years ago to Myrtle Beach S. C. where Maryland crabcakes were offered on the menu. When they arrived they contained some type of filler and spices none of us recognized as resembling the crabcakes offered in Maryland. My mother mentioned this to the waiter who, evidently gave this information to the chef. In fact, she gave him her recipe. The next time we visited the restaurant, the Maryland crabcakes were not mentioned on the menu. We often laughed about this. However, I do agree that crabmeat should at least be labeled a product of the United States. I refuse to buy crabmeat from China, Vietnam, Mexico, etc. Phillips restaurant had the audacity to ask the public to contribute towards buying boats for those impacted buy the Tsunami who caught their crabs for them. Unbelievable! I was disappointed in a restaurant that made a successful in Maryland and then resorted to foreign crabmeat.

The last time MINIMUM wage was increased was 2007 with graduation to $7.25 an hour over three years.…Read More WALL STREET crashed the economy, not the small businesses across the country. Very reliable academic research from multiple sources finds that raising the MINI wage does not result in job loss. As a community, we have been sold on the idea of supporting growth because it would create jobs and support community projects, schools and increase tax base. ECONOMISTS including Pulitzer Prize winners Paul Krugman and David Cay Johnston say that increasing minimum wage will be good for economy and ultimately spur job growth. Be mindful that Annapolis area is one area that will grow substantially as jobs in health care delivery and services increase with Affordable Care Act implementation. Historical as well as current data supports the decision to raise the minimum wage as both responsible and strategically good for expediting economic recovery for country. Just for thought: FDR set the standard for doing business in a democracy: "No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country".

I'm sure people have had incident with MJ as well as people that can't handle poison ivy. If it's a matter of people being screened by observation prior to detemination of their physical or mental action to the exposure to MJ. This would be accomplished by warning labels on Pharmaceuticals. The question is about the "Media having a need to report such actions of advertisement in either a positive or negative way! Is there a story here? Is of any concern to the governing of Government? Does this bring as much harm as weed killers and bug killers to the human race? Did previous cultures of this continent and others use this as a medicine before the Alcohol and Religious groups decide to lobby government to illegalize it so they could reap the moneys instead! If your driving a car around that doesn't have the most recent safety devices. You put yourself at risk for a deadly accident! Never mind what other people are doing, be alert and watch for others on the roadway. They teach this in Drivers Education!

dui's could increase, but they could also go down if the state would make alcohol illegal. however…Read More in the end it comes down to personal responsibility and in that case it doesn't matter what is legal or illegal. so if the object is to lower traffic incidents it must start with making alcohol illegal, but we know that will never happen(to much revenue for the state).

Fred, Prohibition was tried and it failed. Just like the war on drugs. Alcohol is nothing but a…Read More LEGAL drug. Can anyone say 'black market'? That's what is already happening with weed and has been for a gazillion years. Legalize it, control it (so people KNOW what they're getting), tax it, no one under 21 can buy it. Lots of tax revenue. Just THINK of the people that would lose their jobs, though...lawyers, judges, prison guards, cops, some politicians (no big loss), and on and on. We can't have that, now can we? Let's tax alcohol (a legal drug) the same way as cigarettes, yet not make it illegal. Alcohol tax increases have been negligible. It may interfere with the snobs' drinking. Just because you drink some high falutin' wine doesn't mean you don't have an alcohol addiction.

True, she'll be judged for trying to kill her kids, However she may had felt that they were dead than to live with their father ever again. No one knows. Yet you have judged and condemned her. Are there any women in your life? If not, I think I can see the reasons why.
