The opioid REMS project reflects the FDA's interest in building on the host of provisions in FDAAA designed to enhance the
FDA's ability to ensure the safety of drugs and biologics through the entire product lifecycle. In addition to the REMS program,
the statute gives the agency power to require postapproval label changes when new safety issues arise and to crack down on
manufacturers that fail to conduct agreed-on post-marketing studies. FDAAA also requires more extensive listing of clinical
studies and study results on the ClinicalTrials.gov/ public web site—another way to ensure that safety issues arising in clinical studies are fully disclosed to regulators and
the public.
Implementing the FDAAA REMS program has been complex and time-consuming because it has required the FDA to assess and update
existing risk management programs for dozens of therapies, as well as develop new policies to fit its enhanced authorities.
Last March, the FDA identified some 24 manufacturers with drugs and biologics already on the market, such as thalidomide,
mifepristone, eculizumab, and smallpox vaccine, that had risk management plans in place and thus were "deemed" to have REMS.
Most of the "deemed REMS" products already were complying with many of the REMS provisions, but manufacturers had to submit
proposals describing how their programs fit REMS requirements. Over the past 18 months, the FDA has approved REMS for some
50 drugs and biologics—those already on the market and new treatments.
The contemplated REMS for all extended-use opioids exceeds other drug risk management efforts by applying to some 24 brand
and generic opioid products, including fentanyl patches and oral drugs formulated with oxycodone, hydromorphone, methadone,
morphine, and oxymorphone. Some 23 million prescriptions of these extended-release painkillers are dispensed annually to about
four million patients in the US, according to data from SDI.
Even more opioid products are subject to abuse. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports
that in 2007, more than 12 million Americans over age 12 took pain relievers for nonmedical use, a trend that has boosted
substance abuse programs. These long-acting opioids are linked to serious adverse events, such as respiratory distress, if
prescribed to inappropriate patients or in too-high doses. They also are open to abuse because they can be crushed or dissolved
to permit a large dose to be taken at once. The FDA did not include immediate-release (IR) painkillers in the current initiative,
as they are less associated with safety problems and abuse, but some patient advocates want all opioids to be placed under
more strict controls.
Federal officials do not want to pull these products off the market because they can manage chronic, severe pain with fewer
doses a day than IR products. However, 10 years of risk management for Purdue Pharma's OxyContin (oxycodone) and other painkillers
have not stemmed the serious adverse reactions and overdosing. Now, the FDA and manufacturers hope that more extensive and
coordinated information on product risks and expanded training for health professionals will reduce prescribing to patients
unable to tolerate strong medicines and curb abuse.

BOSTON — Five suspicious packages planted throughout Boston Wednesday forced the shutdown of major roads, a bridge and a stretch of the Charles River.
Authorities concluded the objects were not bombs.
"It's a hoax — and it's not funny," said Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.
Police said four calls, all around 1 p.m., reported suspicious devices at the Boston University Bridge and the Longfellow Bridge, which both span the Charles River, at a Boston street corner and at the Tufts-New England Medical Center.
The package near the Boston University bridge was found attached to a structure beneath the span, where it crosses the Massachusetts Turnpike, authorities said.
Subway service across the Longfellow Bridge between Boston and Cambridge was briefly suspended, and Storrow Drive was closed as well.
Another device was found earlier in the day at a subway station, forcing a temporary shutdown of Interstate 93.

The Chicago Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and the Active Transportation Alliance issued a challenge to northeastern Illinois commuters aiming to reduce single-car occupancy and increase healthier travel modes, such as transit and biking. The recently launched campaign is called "drive less. live more." More than 320 people and 17 companies have already signed up to participate.Through drivelesslivemore.com, the Web-based challenge allows commuters to track their modes of travel, see how they can reduce carbon emissions and become eligible for prizes such as transit rides, a folding bike and a Chicago "Stay-cation" hotel package. Walking, carpooling and vanpooling are travel modes promoted as alternatives to driving alone in addition to transit and biking. "The most effective way to reduce air pollution is to reduce the number of commuters on the region's roads," said RTA Executive Director Joe Costello. "The 'drive less. live more.' campaign is a friendly competition to promote travel options, such as our vast transit network and numerous bike-friendly paths and lanes available in the region." Challenge participants can register either as companies or individuals. Six challenges will occur now through August, 2013. The first challenge, "TransitWorks," is now accepting teams. The challenge runs throughout the first week of December. Companies compete with other companies based on their size and category. A company wins if it has the highest percentage of employees logging an eligible commute to work in its category during the challenge time-frame. The winning team receives public recognition, a virtual winner's certificate, and the satisfaction of being the healthiest and greenest workplace in northeastern Illinois.

If Congressional gridlock sends the U.S. Government tumbling over the "fiscal cliff" at the end of this year, many Americans will see their taxes go up.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke described it as the "fiscal cliff" others have referred to it as "Taxmageddon." Either way, unless Congress acts soon, beginning January 2013 the U.S. economy will experience a double hit of automatic spending cuts and expiring tax breaks. If all these provisions are allowed to end at once, as scheduled under the current law, they could stall economic growth and tip the U.S. back into recession, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
The programs set to expire include the Bush-era tax cuts, the payroll tax cut, the alternative minimum tax (AMT) patch, and other tax-relief programs, as well as the start of automatic U.S. Government spending cuts agreed to in 2011.
Will Congress act before year end? It's impossible to predict exactly how all of this will play out, although most expect lawmakers to work out a compromise plan after the November election. The final deal, of course, will hinge on who is in charge in Washington and the nature of whatever agreement is reached.
What is the potential impact of the fiscal cliff?
Although the clock is ticking, there's still time for Congress to act. Whether or not taxes increase immediately, however, it's important to be prepared. That's why it makes sense to work with your tax and investment professionals to determine what steps, if any, you can take this year to prepare for future tax implications. Consider having a discussion with your tax and investment professionals about the following:
As the end of the year approaches, now may be an opportune time for investors to review their portfolios with their investment and tax professionals and to consider the potential tax ramifications of the approaching fiscal cliff. As each individual's personal situation is unique and we don't know exactly what is going to happen with the "fiscal cliff," it is critical to base any actions on your overall situation and goals. Investors are wise to concentrate on the basics of tax planning — a strategy that makes sense in any economic or tax environment.
Wealth management advisors do not give legal or tax advice. Taxpayers should seek advice regarding their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
Bond investors should carefully consider risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk, securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase transaction risk. They are subject to additional risks, such as limited liquidity and increased volatility. There is an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices.

After ripping off 21 hits and 16 runs on Friday, the Phillies' offense has reverted back to its old ways.
The Phils were lifeless on Sunday, losing to the Dodgers, 6-1. Charlie Manuel's crew was one out away from being shut out for the eighth time this season, and with the defeat, the Phillies have slipped to a season-high 9 1/2 games back of first place in the NL East.
The Phillies (39-44) ended up losing three of four games to the Dodgers (38-43).
It's quite clear that Friday's outburst was an aberration. In the Phillies' two losses that followed, they went 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position and scored four runs, two on solo shots from Chase Utley and another on a throwing error by Matt Kemp. The 16 runs on Friday marked the first time all season that the Phillies plated double-digit runs in a game.
Along with the offense, Kyle Kendrick had a rough afternoon. At the plate, Kendrick was hit in the head by a pitch in the sixth inning, and according to CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury, the righty was diagnosed with a mild concussion after the game and will undergo tests on Monday.
From the mound, iffy calls on a pair of stolen bases by the Dodgers led to a rocky fourth inning for Kendrick. Los Angeles swiped second base twice in the fourth frame, but on both attempts, it appeared Yasiel Puig and Hanley Ramirez slid past the bag and looked out after Jimmy Rollins reapplied the tag. However, second base umpire Dale Scott thought otherwise. The inning then snowballed into a five-hit, three-run frame for Kendrick.
The Dodgers would later tack on, while the Phillies never got going.
What's next?
The Phillies are 3-4 on their current 10-game road trip and it could end substantially worse. That's because they now travel to Pittsburgh to take on the team with baseball's best record in the Pirates (51-30).
That last sentence wasn't a typo. Pittsburgh has won nine straight games and are 28-13 at home this season. The Phillies, on the other hand, are 20-26 on the road and 4-8 in Pittsburgh over the past four seasons.
Here are the probable pitching matchups for the three-game series:
Tuesday -- Jonathan Pettibone (3-3, 4.17) vs. Jeff Locke (7-1, 2.06)
Wednesday -- John Lannan (1-2, 4.83) vs. Jeanmar Gomez (2-0, 2.76)
Thursday -- Cole Hamels (2-11, 4.58) vs. Gerrit Cole (4-0, 3.70)

It was fun, next time tho, I will stop Anna from getting carried away in the kitchen so that she has time to visit and enjoy the company, but, the food certainly was good. doran ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Chelsea and United go head-to-head for Villa
Chelsea will make a £33million bid for Valencia's super Spanish striker David Villa - but he would rather go to rivals Manchester United. Roman Abramovich has approved a mega bid for the hitman who will be sold by his hard-up club in the next transfer window, and a top agent has been brought in to do the deal. The Stamford Bridge outfit are planning the raid and hope to have their transfer ban lifted or suspended to let them bring the superstar to London at the second attempt. However, the Villa camp have revealed that they have already turned down Chelsea once - in the last window - and the player would still prefer to go to United. A source close to the star said: "David was approached about the Chelsea move in the summer but did not fancy it. He was not sure how often he would play or whether they played his style. Manchester United is his first choice in England, but there is a problem with that because of the price and his age. If it can be agreed with Valencia he would sooner go to Old Trafford."
Alan Nixon, Daily Mirror
The Daily Mail claims United will offer £12million to Schalke for German international goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who Sir Alex Ferguson allegedly sees as the perfect long-term successor to Edwin van der Sar.
Meanwhile, former United star Cristiano Ronaldo is not relishing the prospect of facing the Reds in this season's Champions League. The Real Madrid winger is quoted by The Times as saying: "I don't want to play United [in the knockout rounds] — they're a very strong team and I have many friends there. I played for six years at Old Trafford and have many friends at the club, but maybe if we met in the final it would be good. It will be very difficult if we play against United but to be honest I don't want to play them."

Combating Locked-In Syndrome: New Methods of Communication for ALS Patients
Andrea Goldstein
Imagine having a fully-functional brain trapped within a non-functioning body. The brain would be conscious and aware of its surroundings; it could think and process stimuli, but it would be unable to translate thought into action. Locked-In Syndrome is a rare disorder that results in just that; all of the body's voluntary muscles, with the exception of those that control eye movement, become completely paralyzed. There are no treatments available, nor is there a cure. (1) While Locked-In Syndrome is most commonly caused by damage to the pons (2), numerous other events or disorders can lead to this tragic locked-in state. Perhaps the most well-known disease that causes Locked-In Syndrome is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), known colloquially as Lou Gehrig's disease.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that causes the death of motor neurons. With no motor neurons to receive signals from the brain and cause movement, patients become completely paralyzed. After a period of no input from motor neurons, the muscles themselves atrophy and become weak. Finally, the brain loses the ability to start signals that cause voluntary movement altogether. Many ALS patients die from respiratory failure when their diaphragms and chest wall muscles fail to contract any longer. (3) The majority of ALS patients die within 3-5 years of diagnosis, but about 10% survive for ten years or more past their diagnosis, and 5% survive for twenty years after being diagnosed (4).
People are living longer with ALS due to several therapies. The newest treatment is a drug called riluzole, which reduces motor neuron damage by decreasing the release of glutamate, a neurotransmitter which may cause the degeneration of motor neurons in the first place. Riluzole has been clinically proven to prolong life for at least several months. Other treatments include speech and physical therapy and drugs that reduce symptoms that accompany ALS, such as fatigue, muscle spasms, and excess salivation. (3)
Because ALS destroys motor neurons, its effects are irreversible. Unlike the proportion of people with Locked-In Syndrome that eventually recover some motor function (2), ALS patients can never be freed from the prison of their minds. Despite the promising research being done to find more effective treatments and a cure, the more immediately pertinent research deals with how best to combat the imprisonment of the mind that comes with ALS. Most communication methods use eye movement to convey information, while some more experimental technologies use electrical impulses directly from the brain (5).
The simplest method of communication for ALS patients who are no longer able to move anything but their eyes involves no sophisticated technology at all. With the help of an assistant, patients can use eye blinks to signify which letters or syllables they would like to select from a chart, slowly and methodically putting together words and sentences. Eye response technologies are a more complicated method of communication that allows ALS patients to communicate significantly faster and independent of others. Eye-gaze Response Interface Computer Aid (ERICA), for example, uses a camera and infrared light to detect the position of a person's gaze on a computer screen. In this way, a person can essentially type with his or her eyes, performing computer tasks normally. In addition, the software that ERICA uses can produce a computerized voice, allowing the patient to "talk" to others. (6) This technology can provide a highly effective means of communication for as long as voluntary muscles in the eye remain intact.
In most cases, control of the eye muscles is retained throughout the span of ALS, but researchers are currently looking into devices that will allow ALS patients in advanced stages of the disease to communicate without using the eyes. In one method, an electrode is implanted directly into the brain. The electrode picks up electrical impulses and translates them into instructions for the control of a computer cursor, which in turn allows the patient to communicate via computer. Another method involves electrodes on the scalp that yield much the same result as the electrode in the brain itself. These devices take a relatively long amount of time to process information and create words (about 30 seconds per letter), but for patients whose eye movements are not under voluntary control, it is the only option. (5) Other experimental devices translate EEG activity to translate signals into words through biofeedback (7).
These new technologies give people with ALS hope for more normal lives. With more efficient communication technology, patients with ALS would no longer suffer from the most devastating mental effects of Locked-In Syndrome. Despite the fact that the motor neuron degeneration cannot currently be reversed, patients no longer have to remain imprisoned in their own minds. Eye response technologies and new experimental devices in the future can allow ALS patients to communicate effectively, freeing them from their personal jails. Perhaps this new technology that uses computers translating signals into speech will shed light on what "thoughts" really are and what produces speech. Further research can only lead to new ideas and more information about ALS and the Locked-In Syndrome that it produces.Resources:

Locked in Syndrome Communication System
Our son, Billy, has locked-in syndrome from a brain stem stroke he had two and a half years ago. He was only 28 years old with a good job , a wife, and a two year old daughter. His stroke killed much of his brain stem, but the rest of his brain was left unscathed. Billy knows everything he did prior to the stroke, he just can't move or speak.
After his stroke, he went close to 5 months without "talking" with anyone... He only answered yes and no questions that we thought to ask him. Finally, one of his physical therapists at a rehab facility taught us (and Billy) a way of communication. Over time, it has evolved into this super-easy system:
When Billy wants to say something he looks up several times. When we see him doing this, we ask him if he wants to say something. He will look up for "yes."
The actual system consists of Billy spelling out what he wants to say. We have divided up the alphabet into 5 sections to get through the alphabet fairly quickly. The divisions are: A-E, F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z. Billy looks up when we get to the section that includes the letter he needs. Because some of the things that need to be said get quite lengthy, we use a small dry-erase board to record what Billy spells out. (NOTE: In the past, we have used a spiral notebook to write things down, but we eventually began using a dry-erase board so that Billy had the ability to say something to someone that would not later be read by all of his caretakers. This has saved many arguments and hurt feelings!)
For example, if he wants to spell his name BILLY, he will look up to let us know he wants to say something. We will ask Billy 'A-E?' and he will look up. Then we will ask about each individual letter: A? B? then he will look up again. This lets us know that this is the first letter of his statement. We record a 'B' on the dry-erase board.
We will then move on to the next letter by again asking the sections: 'A-E?' 'F-J?' and he will look up again. F? G? H? I? and he will look up to let us know that 'i' is the next letter. We would add the 'i' to the board, so that we would now have B-i.
We would then repeat this process until we complete his statement. We always verify that he has indeed finished his entire statement... sometimes we accidentally cut him off by responding to the statement before he is finished with it. We always ask "Is that all?" when we get to what we think is the end of his statement.
It sounds like this system would take forever, but over time it becomes easier for both the caretakers and the locked-in person. We spell out entire paragraphs and have complete conversations with Billy. Over the past year, he has had to deal with his wife leaving him and filing for divorce. This system has allowed Billy to handle his divorce almost entirely all on his own. He tells us and his attorneys what he wants and we make it happen for him. Even furthermore, Billy is able to joke around with his younger brothers and tell his daughter that he loves her. That is something that must be invaluable to someone in Billy's state.
We hope that this system helps someone communicate with a loved one. It has totally changed Billy's life and we just thought we had to share it. If anyone has any questions about our system, email us here: firstname.lastname@example.com and we will do our best to help you out!
Eye Gaze communication devices
I previously mentioned the prototype eye-blink device I created some years ago which I have not progressed partially due to more able and sophisticated devices emerging on the market which use eye-gaze technology. The price of these units are dropping slowly. Here are some links below which may provide a solution for you. All the best to you and your loved ones.
Sister is Locked in
Hi My Sister is currently experiencing locked in syndrome. She has been diagnosed with ALS and CIDP. She receives limited IVIG therapy but when those treatments are received her eye and head movements become much better and she is able to flinch her fingers a bit. In between treatments when those are "wearing off" for lack of a better term, we have trouble communicating with her because we can't tell when she is blinking her eyes and using the letter chart we have to point to the letters to form words, then sentences is getting more difficult as well. She has an augmentive speech device which uses eye gaze technology, but because of the slow eye movements the machine is difficult for her to use. Is there anything that you can suggest that could help us communicate with her better. She lives in a Sub-Acute unit of a skilled nursing facility and she is completely aware of what is going on and the lack of compassionate treatment she receives from some of the caregivers. Thank you for any suggestions. I wish we lived in a different part of the country because there are lots of studies going on but we have no way to get her across the country.
Communication using eyes
Hello, My mother is disabled. She has no mobility, cannot swallow or speak but she is fully aware of conversations and humour etc. Her conditions has been gradual over some 12 years. She has not spoken for 3 years and is confined to a wheelchair, hoists etc. I would dearly love some advice on the technology to enable her to communicate through eye movement. I feel she has so much to say and believe her time is limited.
Please please help.
Thank you
Communication using eyes
Hello Claire
Sorry to hear about your mum. Some years ago I became interested in the technology as I was very much moved by a program on TV where I saw the plight of a poor soul with locked-in syndrome. I did some research and found it difficult to identify accessible and affordable technology. As I have a background in computing and electronics I sourced some parts over the internet and within a few weeks had a rudimentary proof of concept working which uses eye-blink technology. I then posted on some internet sights to gauge interest to take the project to the next phase. The response was disappointing so I shelved the project. I could teach school kids to use my device in two minutes but did needed to test the concept with people who actually suffered from this disposition. The concept was to develop a device which was low cost and flexible. I the aim was not to make lots of money but to help those in need.
To answer your question, there are a number of solutions, depending on how much coherent movement of the head and eyes your mum still has. The most impressive I have seen is where there are cameras mounted on a personal computer. The computer tracks where on the screen the user is looking and by blinking, selects the character or picture on the screen to form words or answer with preset phrases. To see what is possible, look at http://www.grinbath.com/eyeguide?gclid=CMmstMbjgbICFYRLpgoddSoA-Q and
I had planned my device to cost under $500 with the addition of the user's own laptop computer. I have not yet seen a comparable device to mine using simple technology, eye-blinking and low cost.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further information.
Serendip administrator, please feel free to pass on my email address to Claire as communicating via this website is a huge challenge.
Hello Brian
I am also interested in your project, as my mother has the same condition, and we would love to be able to communicate with her again.
Please advise if you are carrying out any projects currently, and would you be interested to test out your product on a real patient.
Hope to hear from you, and any advise is valuable.
Hello Emma
Yes I would be happy to work with you. This would provide real insights and provide me with a valid reason to progress the project if the results are promising.
If the Serendip administrators would kindly pass on my details to you we can take it further.
A quick Way to learn Morse Code
1. I had a stroke in 09 ,met a guy who still is unable to speak.
2.I 've been thinking around this subject for some time
3. Had to learn Morse for DTI Yachtmaster, (I think in 70s) developed my own system [passed]
4. Biggest drawback to morse is that, not only the patient must learn but also anyone else who wishes to make contact.
5. Example---"what is the Morse code made up of?"
"Dots & dashes." {nobody ever seems to say dashes first}
"We'll start the alphabet with one of each then; a dot & a dash for A" ._ is A
"That's our first letter, but it is also our first word. It is one form of the indefinite article
the other form is 'an' and there is n't any difficulty here because N is just A the other way round." _. is N
" I printed my middle name in caps for the good reason that E,I,S,H, in morse, respectively are . is E
one dot, two dots, three dots and four dots." .. is I
{These are the only letters that comprise only dots} ... is S
{it was noticing this that was the beginning of my system} .... is H
"A Lorry with a Load has a wheel in front and two wheels at the back,so it Looks like this; ._.. is L
"If the lorry is, on the other hand, going to France with Freight it is going the other way .._. is F
"A Wheelbarrow also has a Wheel at the front With a body and a shaft; ._ _ is W
"To put the barrow away in the Garden shed it has to be turned to face the other way so _ _. is G
6. That's the first 10 letters the rest go much the same way.
7. I would like to know if it was thought that there was any mileage in this system for your purposes and how this could be
Locked-in and ALS communication devices
Hi Andrea Goldstein
I recently found this website as some years ago I first came to know of people with the Locked-in Syndrome and wanted to do something to help. I have developed a low cost eye-blink computer interface protype and I am wondering if this technology has been surpassed and if I should develop my interface any further. I am aware of the Eyegaze technology which is currently rather costly but obviously will reduce in price as time goes by. I am wondering if people are finding it effective technology as I hear about too many cases where the person is lying helpless and not making use of eyegaze devices instead.
your system
How is your prototype going? I am interested as I have a friend in the later stages of ALS who cannot communicate effectively, although he has plenty to say! He can blink, but not move his hands or his body. He cannot speak in any understandable way now. He lives in Italy, in Chianti, outside a small village and speaks English and Italian fluently.
Hope to have the pleasure of hearing from you and hope you are well. Carla ..
Brian, Please contact me! I have a "sister" afflicted with Lou Gerigs and I need help for her to communicate! This may be just the beginning. Thank You!
ALS communication device
Apologies Karen, I got your name wrong. Moderator, could you please pass on my email address to Karen who has responded to my article. It is unclear if the moderator has passed on my contact details to you so I am posting this response.
Re: Please contact me
Hello Danielle
I am unsure how to contact you via this website. I can be contacted at
Communication devices
I was wondering if anyone could give me their input on the best communication devices with a patient with progressive ALS. This patient has already tried the Dynavox which is a wonderful device but happens to make my patient nausea. We believe the nausea is related to another eye disease unrelated to the ALS. It is my ultimate goal to get this device as quickly as possible. Thank you for any help you may be able to give us!!!
Advanced Bulbar ALS
Trying to find a chart to download for phrases commonly used to speed communication with my Sister-in-law who has advanced ALS. Can only blink. Would appreciate any info as to what site I can go to to get this information to copy. Thank you.
I made a chart for my Dad
I made a chart for my Dad using Excel.
Here is a link to some premade charts:
Also, you may want to visit Jason Becker's Web site. His Dad developed quite a system for him to communicate using a sort of chart.

Do you have something to help with a person who is locked in?
My friend is in ICU in Toronto who just had a brain stem stroke and the doctors are saying he is locked in.He can only move his eyes and a little nodding.We cant communicate with him.Its horrible.
Locked in syndrome and euthanasia
Do families or patients with locked in syndrome have the option of euthanasia? The thought of being or seeing somebody locked in his own body without being able to move or communicate in any manner is just petrifying.
I guess it depends on your jurisdiction, but our doctors recommended we try to establish communication with my brother and ask him what he wants.
My recommendation to everyone is to make a living will and keep it somewhere where it can be found if this ever happens to you. I am not a morbid person, and am an optimist about life, so please don't think I am being negative. But, please make one. The hardest thing I ever had to do was try to establish a yes or no communication form to my dear brother and ask him if he wanted to live this way. We asked several times, gave him days to 'think' it over...................but in the end, his decision was firm - he did not want to live that way. We take some peace in knowing at least we tried our best to communicate all the facts to him and he had an ability to direct his fate.
So, I am grateful that our doctors did give us and my brother the option of euthanasia.
Hoping few people will ever have to go through what we had to,
My daughter can only communicate with nods. She laughs, goes shopping with me. Enjoys her life even with her many limitations. She can not move much except one arm. I ask her all day what she would like to do, where she wants to go or to eat. I think if I kept asking her if she wanted to die, she would feel that I don't want her. I can't imagine putting that thought in someone's head.i ask her how she feels and she nods when I say the alphabet to spell things out. I think we should help people feel wanted and have life experiences even when their bodies won't move.
Your brother...
I am very sorry to hear of your loss and hope you are finding some comfort in your good memories together. I just wanted to weigh in, as a hospice volunteer, you and your family did the brave and difficult last directive for your brother. ALS is a terrible disease and you were strong enough to help him when he needed it the most.
Best Regards,

Firefox finally gets "paste and go" in FF4 nightly
"It" is paste and go, and like sync functionality, it has finally been permanently bolted on to Firefox. In recent nightly builds of Firefox 4, you can right-click to paste a URL and go to it without pressing enter -- or paste and go to search any copied text. To be fair, you could already right-click highlighted text and choose to search with your default engine in Firefox, but the absence of paste and go has often made me wonder "why?"

text: On April 13, 2000, at 1120 central daylight time, a Hughes OH-6A helicopter, N6187Y, was substantially damaged during a hard landing following a loss of engine power near El Paso, Texas. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the helicopter, sustained minor injuries. The helicopter was registered to and operated by the U.S. Border Patrol Air Operations, El Paso, Texas. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 public use flight, for which no flight plan was filed. The local flight originated from the El Paso International Airport, El Paso, Texas, at 0900.According to the pilot, the helicopter experienced a partial loss of engine power during a patrol mission while maneuvering at 60 feet agl and "moving forward at an airspeed just below effective translational lift, approximately 10 knots." In response to the loss of engine power, he "increased power, pulled up on the collective, in order to increase airspeed." The engine immediately began to "coast down." The pilot initiated an autorotation and made a turn to the left, with the intent to land on a gravel road. He stated that due to the relatively low altitude, slow airspeed, and insufficient rotor rpm available for the autorotation, the helicopter landed hard and came to rest upright. Postaccident examination of the airframe revealed that the tailboom separated from the helicopter. One main rotor blade separated from the main rotor hub and the skids were spread. Additionally, examination of the Allison C20B turboshaft engine revealed that a power control line (PC line), which ran between the fuel control unit and governor, had separated.The PC line was examined at the NTSB Materials Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The line separated at the base of the flange portion of the line. A slight bend was observed .375 inch from the base of the flange. A circumferential impression was observed at the inner radius of the bend. The location of the impression corresponded with the end of the ferrule when properly assembled. The fracture surface on the flange portion was examined utilizing a scanning electron microscope. Two areas were observed which exhibited features consistent with fatigue.

Reviews for Honey & Hibiscus Hair Reconstructor
Average rating: 4.5 out of 5 hearts
By Chipmunkmama on June 27, 2013
Smell lovely
My hair is dry.
This product doesn't moisturize or works miracle like chemical-full products, but it does help my hair stay hydrated and manageable.
I use Citrus & Neroli Detangler to keep my dry hair shine and smooth.
I love the fresh smell of this product and I will buy this product again.
By Roh on June 16, 2013
Pricey but worth it
This conditioner really repairs the hair itself and doesn't just coat the hair to give a superficial effect. It is quite pricey though since the bottle is small. I went through a bottle in about 2 weeks. When I purchased my second tube i decided to use it every other hair wash and use a different John Masters conditioner in between. Works great. My hair gets really dry at the ends from my sweat since I do a lot of sports and this conditioner paired with the shampoo works wonders to prevent and repair split ends.
By Sandy on January 29, 2013
Hair repair
This is more than just your everyday run of the mill conditioner. It's more like a deep hair treatment. It really repairs things, and makes hair super shiny, full and healthy. I had wicked spit ends and annoying flyaways, but this wonderful product saved me! Scrumptious scent is a bonus.
By Mb on December 13, 2012
Liked it
As with the matching shampoo, I only tried samples but plan on purchasing because my hair was left smooth and shiny.
Linolenic and hyaluronic acids, found abundantly in young hair, are combined with soy & wheat amino acids to fortify and reconstruct damaged hair.

A report released by HealthGrades, the nation's most trusted independent source of physician information and hospital quality outcomes, named Rideout Health Group among the top 10% in the United State for gynecological surgery, giving its full Five-Star rating. The HealthGrades report found that women who undergo gynecological surgery at Five-Star rated hospitals experience 35% fewer complications. HealthGrades had previously designated Fremont-Rideout among the top 10% of healthcare providers in the nation for maternity care in 2010/2011.
Gynecological surgeries offered at Rideout Memorial Hospital, using both traditional and minimally-invasive techniques depending on the case, include hysterectomies, endometrial ablation, pelvic floor repair and removal of ovarian cysts.
Rideout's well-regarded Women and Infant Department, currently located at Fremont Medical Center, will soon be getting a two-floor facility within the new wing of Rideout Memorial Hospital. Women's health will continue to be a key priority for the non-profit community healthcare organization.
"Women today have a wide array options when it comes to reproductive health and choosing a health care provider who aligns with their personal preferences," said Divya Cantor, MD, MBA and HealthGrades Senior Physician Consultant. "Female patients can optimize their chances for receiving the highest possible quality of care by researching and comparing the clinical outcomes of hospitals and doctors in their area."
Key findings of the HealthGrades 2011 Obstetrics & Gynecology in American Hospitals report include:
"We're gratified by this latest accolade from HealthGrades," said Terri Hamilton, CEO, FRHG. "This recognition reaffirms our mission to provide superior healthcare to everyone in our region, regardless of their ability to pay."

As everyone jumps on the web wagon with live streamed fashion shows and bloggers sitting front row and centre, SHOWstudio, the pioneers of fashion online, have moved on to the next step. After inviting the public to watch a Nick Knight fashion shoot as it happened, at Somerset House during London Fashion Week, now the photographer's phenomenal website has asked Gareth Pugh to move in and create fashion before your very eyes. This will be your chance to see a designer at work as he makes an interpretation of one of his S/S 2010 pieces, and a webcam will capture every cut, stitch and movement, and stream it online. The British designer is a long-time collaborator to the site, so he is the perfect choice to launch this project, and be the first of many designers who will create one-off pieces, that will then be sold in the SHOWstudio SHOP.
Gareth Pugh will be in residence on the 20, 23 and 24 November

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Good bag
September 17, 2014
I was afraid the bag would look cheap and badly made, but no it's fine (I got the black one). But the strap is a big annoying. The golden strap undid itself twice now and it's a pain pulling it over the black leathery strap to hook the metal parts together.
Pros:very stylish sizeable enough to fit small wallet, phone and bulky keys
Cons:on minor occasions the bag pops open the metal strap unhooks too easily

The Temple
We see a number of temples in Kerala hat draw numerous devotees to them because of legends, devotion, grace and the blessings associated with them. Thiruvairanikkulam Mahadeva Temple is such a one. This temple is located in Aluva taluk in the district of Ernakulam and the presiding deity is Mahadeva or Lord Shiva who resides facing east in the sanctum.
Just behind Mahadeva resides Goddess Parvathi. In front of the Mandapa found in the front of Lord Mahadeva's Sreekovil (sanctum), the RISHIBAM (the bull) prostrates, facing Parameswara. In the lawn nearby Lord Ganapathi (Vigneswar) is also seen, facing east.

Jamie Slater, special to WTOP.com
WASHINGTON -- Caffeine addicts rejoice: There may be a new excuse for you to fuel your addiction throughout the day.
Drinking coffee or tea may improve your long- term memory, if you consume it after the event you want to remember.
A recent study from Johns Hopkins University and the University of California Irvine discovered that memory retention rates increased by 12 percent in subjects who were given caffeine after studying a series of images. The boost in the participants' memories of the images lasted for at least 24 hours after viewing the images.
So next time you need to remember an important meeting at work or those history notes you spent hours poring over, try grabbing a coffee right after.
Men's Health says that 200 milligrams of caffeine -- 12 ounces of coffee or 30 ounces of tea -- is enough. Since caffeine takes an hour to affect you most, feel free to get that cup up to an hour before your meeting or study session is set to end.
Until now, ScienceDaily reports, studies have shown caffeine to have little to no effect on memory, so take advantage of this news and go get yourself a celebratory latte -- right after studying for an hour, of course.

Martin Comey is a 1957 alumnus of Fordham's Gabelli School of Business.
Martin Comey, GSB '57, celebrated his 50th Fordham Jubilee in June 2007, becoming a Golden Ram. In gratitude for the "great fundamental accounting education" he received at Fordham, the retired vice president and treasurer of Schering-Plough decided to make a lasting gift to his alma mater, one that will benefit undergraduate business students.
"For retirees like myself living on a fixed income, the only way to make a sizable gift is out of your corpus, not your pension money," said Comey, who tranferred money directly from his IRA account to Fordham. "Utilizing the IRA provisions was a painless and tax-free method of doing this."
