Mysteries of the ancient world
I'm back home now, but I still have a few photos to share. It took three full days, but I finally managed to clear out my dad's office and closet – only to fill the closet again with stuff Brother Two wants to keep but couldn't fit in his suitcases.
I found a Mac PowerBook 1400C in the closet, deep in the strata. I think in total, my dad had 11 computers, of which two were hooked up. I cleaned up a clamshell iBook and then plugged in and powered up the PowerBook. As you can see if you click on the thumbnail to the left, it booted into System 8.6 as perfectly as possible. I think my dad last used it in early 2003, judging by the dates on the files. Good thing he kept it around.
We also found a brass case. We have no idea what it is. Other than the photos below, here's what we know…. The "fan" folds open and closed and rotates freely. The axle fits into some sort of plastic apparatus that barely resembles a small electric motor, although there is no resistance to rotation. There is no place for batteries, and since the entire case is made of metal and there are no wires, we doubt it is an electrical device of any kind, or any sort of motor for that matter. But of what use is a manual fan or propellor?
The bottom of the device opens up. Is something supposed to go in there? Take a look, and please guess – or even better, inform.
The inscription on the bottom of the case reads: "PATENTS PENDING / DON QUIXOTE / MADE IN BRITAIN". Don Quixote is a cigar company and I suspect this has something to do with tobacco, but I'm stumped.
Speaking of mysteries, this video has me, an avowed skeptic, stumped:
Bonus l33t CSS skillz:
I've been struggling with getting slideshows to center. I'm using a WordPress plugin called Portfolio Slideshow, which is easy to use and format, but which is inexplicably impossible to center on a page.
Many people have the same predicament, but the developer's only official response is that the Pro version ($9) has the ability to center the slideshow.
Nine bucks? I didn't teach myself CSS for nothing! Here's my custom Portfolio Slideshow CSS code for WordPress. On your Dashboard, open Appearance > Editor. Click on the Stylesheet link at the bottom right. (I ignore the stylesheets for IE6 and IE7. Screw 'em.) Add the following code to your stylesheet and save:
div.portfolio-slideshow {margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:60%; margin-top:20px; border: solid 1px #d4d7ca;}
div.slideshow-nav {text-align:center; margin-bottom:20px;}
You may want to play with that width percentage to get it perfect on your layout. The margin-top and border styles are optional, as is the entire .slideshow-nav class.
This only works for one specific size of slideshow image. In my case, I'm using 400-pixel-wide images.
Dogs and the family
We never knew this story until Tuesday, when we cracked open a scrapbook that once belonged to my grandfather's brother, Max.
When Jacques (my grandfather, although he went by "Jack") was a kid in the Netherlands, he owned a small dog. His father, Bernard, thought that a big photo of their boys and the dog to hang on the wall would make a great present for his wife, Josina.
The photograph was taken, blown up, framed, and presented to Josina. She took one look at it and exclaimed that there was no way she could hang that in her house. She pointed out the dog, which had an erection that the males had somehow overlooked.
That's one well-endowed terrier. Jack is on the left, Max on the right.
The gift was modified by the 1920s' version of Photoshop – that is, an artist – and the final product, um, hung in their home for 50 years. I don't know what happened to that, but thank goodness we have a print of the original. Jack was born in 1914, so I estimate that the photo was taken around 1925.
The dog's name, even before this photograph, was Dickey.
But 1925 wasn't Max's last appearance in a photo with a strange dog.
That's a trained dog, allegedly, but the look on its face says, "If you take my picture, I'm going to kill somebody." This has meme potential.
Bonus schadenfreude:
That's a lot of caulk
In a previous blog, we established that my dad hoarded junk. He also hoarded useful items. Elvi was working on the garage, and she came across my dad's caulk.
She couldn't believe how big my dad's caulk collection was. It was massive: enough caulk for three houses.
Here's a pic of her and my dad's caulk:
I swear this post was her idea.
Fashion and faux pas
Much of Sunday was spent going through Dad's clothes with Brother Two. Brother One (both are younger than me, by the way) wasn't yet in Freeport and the clothes wouldn't fit him regardless.
We found a lot of clothes… – from the '70s, let's say to be charitable. And what better way to celebrate the '70s than with a slide show!
You may have noticed that I put a modern twist on the jeans. I think my favourite bit of these photos is my brother's hands clasped with glee in the first picture.
That wasn't all the clothing-related hilarity. After some delicious snapper and cracked conch (best I ever ate) at Billy Joe's on the beach, Elvi bent over to wash her hands in the ocean. Two ladies and a man walking by in the right place at the wrong time got an eyeful of her underwear as her shorts ripped from stem to stern. The man cracked up – you can't blame him – but the helpful ladies gave us a towel to keep.
I used the towel to highlight the damage.
Elvi, learning from my father's poor example, did not keep the shorts.
Bonus observation:
If you think I'm fat, check out this curly-tail lizard.
At least I signed up for flag football this spring and summer.
Dealing with the hoard
Elvi and I landed in the Bahamas yesterday afternoon and immediately started helping my sister, Brother Two, and Marion (the widow Nyveen) to clean up my dad's house.
While my dad never hoarded enough to make reality TV, he rarely threw anything out. That's now our job. For example, there are four fax machines, three printers, and an eight-track player (see pic) occupying shelves.
I spent most of Friday emptying the attic while my brother piled the stuff on the patio. A lot of it was Quorum products (a multi-level marketing scheme) left over from the early 1990s. You never know when old electronics will come back into fashion.
We're throwing them out. The old phones, too (see other pic)- although I wold have kept a rotary-dial phone had there been any. All we found was a dial.
The photo below shows about three quarters of the attic contents on the patio. Unfortnately, you can only barely make out the five different briefcases we found. They are at the back of the pile.
For the first time ever, we have left the children under their own supervision. The girls have checked in.
Child Two:
Everything's fine. No problems yet.
Child One:
Nothing much has changed since this morning. I made lunches, we all went to school. Child Two is over at a friend's for some amount of time, so I'm having a drunken orgy. Other than that, all clear.
Tomorrow, I'll have pics of Brother Two and I getting jiggy with Dad's wardrobe. Even more awesome.
More family jaw surgery
Not long after I cracked my own tooth, Nibbler suffered his own damage. (Nibbler is my Mazda 3, remember?)
Wife One took Nibbler out of the driveway so she could take the minivan. She parked him across the street. What she didn't see was the large ice boulder on top of which she parked. You can see the imprint of Nibbler's fron left tire on it.
This method of parking not only served to keep Nibbler from rolling forward, it cracked his poor plastic jaw.
Like any anyone with a broken jaw, Nibbler suffered some swelling in his cheek.
Nibbler is a trooper and still drivable, but I can't stand him suffering so. I plan to get him a new jaw soon. It should be $600-$800.
Speaking of cars, even if we do tend to anthropomorphize, there's news in the lummox category. Our 1999 Grand Voyager finally choked and died. It had been running with a crack and drip in the transmission case, forcing us – OK, Wife One – to keep it topped up with transmission fluid. The key would often refuse to turn until whacked on end with a hammer. Still, it soldiered on. Something has gone wrong with the electrical system, forcing us – yes, really both of us – to boost it every time it had to start.
A week and a half of research into Toyota Siennas and Honda Odysseys let us to a 2006 Odyssey EX-L with a scant 96,000 kilometres on the odometer and a tip-to-tail warranty to 160,000 kilometres. We're quite happy with the purchase, which also came with summer tires on alloy wheels, although it did not come with the cute Honda hat on the roof rack.
Yes, those are leather, heated seats.
Wife One has no plans to name the van.
Mmm, pulpy!
Why did I need a root canal? Child Two (whom you see at right) is quite the baker, and she decided to make homemade snack bars. I guess you could call them granola bars, but they were mostly dried fruit and hazelnuts (that's the other photo, left). I had a hunk and the stuff pulled out a filling on my rearmost top right molar. My tooth cracked and part of it went with the filling. The inside of my tooth had been infected, to the surprise of me and my dentist, so I need to have the root canal.
Despite the name, a root canal is the removal of all pulp from within the tooth and the root canals. The dentist uses these diode-like files to pull out all the living tissue.
The procedure was painless, after the needles in my palate. The right side of my face was frozen from eyelid to neck. The freezing is wearing off as I write this, and it's starting to ache a bit. The dentist told me to take Advil for any subsequent pain, and I hope that's sufficient. If not, I have my migraine stash to raid.
I have two weeks to wait before the broken molar gets a permanent fix.
When my car got rear-ended
No new footwear lately.
Back on October 3, I took Child Three to an interview at a high school he's interested in attending last year. When we returned to my parked car, we discovered that a navy blue Volkswagen Golf had snuggled under my car's rear bumper.
I didn't have a camera and as I was puzzling out what to do, a woman who lives in the house in front of which I parked came home. I showed her the situation ad asked of she could take a photo for me. She did.I recorded the license plate of the offending Golf and left a note on its windshield. I returned Child Three to his current school and ran errands.
When I got home, I had a phone message from the driver of the Golf. She was apologetic and couldn't understand how it happened. I called her back and told her I would send her the photos as well as photos of the damage, which, as you can see, was minor: some abrasions on and under the bumper lip. But the car was barely six months old!
I still hadn't received the photos of the cars so I went back to the house and spoke to the woman's husband. They couldn't figure out how to download or send the photos on the cell phone. A few days later, I got this, which seems to be a photo of the cell phone screen. It arrived as a 314 dpi image of 2.3 MB:
I sent the photos. I wasn't expecting to have to go through the insurance companies.
The last communication the driver sent me was an e-mail that in its entirety read: "Please be advised that I am totally unaware of how your car was damaged and deny any responsibility for said damage."
Well. I think she took some bad advice from friends or family.
The next call I made was to my insurance company. I had the offending parker's license plate number, e-mail address, and phone number. I also had the witness who took the photos for me. The agent told me to go ahead and get the car fixed, so I did, at the cost of a $500 deductible I was sure to get back when this was settled.
The agent handling my case got in touch with me again on November 11. The offender refused to provide my insurers with the name or contact info of her own. My insurance agent said that I should go to the police to file a report for a hit and run. The police would get in touch with the other driver/parker and ask her for her insurance info.
The police were not cooperative, but the officer who dealt with me was extremely helpful. She told me that my insurance company was taking the easy way out instead of hiring their own researcher. They wanted the police to do the work for them. Further, the officer called the Golf driver and explained the situation, strongly advising her to cooperate with my insurance company. The officer spoke with her for a good ten minutes. The call ended and she told me that the offender had promised to call my insurers.
I was hopeful, but it never happened. By the end of the month, my insurance company went to find the parker's info.
I heard nothing for two months. I sent an e-mail to my agent on January 11 and heard back that while the company was in touch with the parker's insurance company, said parker stilled denied the incident. Given the photos and the witness, that didn't seem to me to be a prudent course of action.
Last week, I got word: my insurance company had prevailed and I would be reimbursed in full. In one way, it's a shame, as I was all set to launch Operation Public Humiliation, but now that the issue is settled, I can leave the parker anonymous.
Yeah, so…
The fourth from last line in my last post was "In the meantime, my dad has stabilized and appears to be out of the woods for now."
Not so much, it turns out. He died Monday, December 5 at 6:05 a.m.
Marion, my dad's wife, transferred him to the hospital. He was placed in isolation in the emergency ward, but the folks there didn't mind allowing as many visitors as wanted to go in.
I showed up to relieve Marion around 9 p.m. Sunday night. My dad had double pneumonia and kidney failure. The doctor wasn't sure my dad would make it through the night.
I offered to stay overnight. Everyone else left to get some much needed sleep. I stretched out on three plastic chairs and drifted off for about a half hour. My dad's heart rate was about 125 bpm, his breathing rate about 25 per minute, and his blood pressure was too low to be recorded. Metabolically, his blood potassium was high – his kidneys weren't clearing it.
Now, I wrote "my dad" and I'll continue to do so, but since I'd left him Thursday afternoon, he was only a body that gasped rattly breaths while being fed 100% oxygen.
The night shift doctor came to visit around 2:30 a.m. He was careful in introducing the subject of morphine, which my dad might not handle well, he explained. I told him that if it had been up to me, I would have stopped my dad's feeding 13 months ago. The doctor quickly pointed out that he wasn't advocating euthanasia; he was only hoping to make my dad more comfortable. I was pretty sure my dad wasn't feeling anything, but the morphine couldn't hurt, so I approved it. Shortly thereafter, Marion responded by phone and approved it, too. It was legally her decision. So sue me.
At 3:20, my dad's heart rate took a tumble. It fluctuated between 28 and 70 bpm. Whenever it dropped below 33 bpm, the monitor alarm would beep loudly. The nurses came in to turn it off – apparently it has no volume control – and told me to use the call button if I needed anything.
I no longer had the monitor to calculate for me, but I could tell my dad's breathing rate was slowing.
The nurses administered a second dose of morphine and a dose of something else that was meant to relax his breathing. I was in the middle of a wicked game of iBubble Shooter when I realized I was no longer hearing breathing. My dad's face had turned… – what's that colour? Pallor? I checked the clock and it said 6:06, so I pulled my estimate of his time of death back a minute to compensate for my inattention.
I pressed the call button twice but no one came. I stepped into the hallway and spotted the kind doctor at the main desk he looked up at me and I did that signal for "cut", swing my hand in front of my neck. he understood and came to confirm that my father had died. He said he was glad my dad had gone on his watch and in comfort.
We had the funeral on Wednesday. The day went perfectly, even with my brothers cracking into laughter at the cemetery, first at my sister's attempts to shovel dirt and then at my dad's friend Allen's near tumble into the grave.
I have a few things I want to blog about, but this had priority. I hope I remember what they are. Regardless, I have a pile of grading and freelance to get through now.
Too much time in hospitals
I made a quick Facebook status update that I was spending too much time in hospitals and here's my explanation.
Child Two has been suffering repeated bouts of cold-like illness over the last three weeks so Monday I took her to the clinic. The resident thought he heard some slight crackle in her lungs, so we crossed the street for an X-ray, then returned to the clinic to await the results.
There was some sort of technical-communications glitch that left us waiting for a while. Finally, the doctor who was waiting for the results told us to go home and he'd call if there were any signs of pneumonia.
I had been planning to get a follow-up on my broken finger. I've discarded the splint and there's no pain, but it remains swollen and stiff and it tingles a bit. I was a bit paranoid I had compartment syndrome because the original doctor had told me my finger would heal in four weeks. Monday was four weeks and one day.
I had wanted to visit my GP but the hospital had not forwarded the records regarding my broken to his office, so that meant revisiting Emergency to get either a follow-up or the records which I could then relay to my GP with whom I could book an appointment in January. I Was at the hospital already with Child Two so I popped in to check on my options. The triage nurse told me that there wouldn't be a long wait so I decided to stay.
Two hours later, I had to leave to do carpool for Child Three.
The staff told me to come back and they'd see me right away. Child Two was testy that she'd had to wait with me and now would have to tag along for carpool. Ingrate.
I returned to Emergency after carpool and, sure enough, a resident saw me right away. He suspected an infection, but there was no sign of one other than the swelling. The physician in charge explained to both of us that my finger was swollen because my body was resorbing the many fragments of pulverized bone. Once that was gone, the swelling and stiffness would decrease. So that's where my finger is.
My next visit to a hospital was Thursday. OK, it's not really a hospital but the long-term-care center that is hosting my father. Thursday is his physiotherapy day and I went to encourage him. Upon arriving, I learned that he had thrown up in the morning so the staff decided to keep him in bed.
He looked sick. He had facial twitches and a wet cough. He was on supplemental oxygen. He would open his eyes every once in a while but there was no indication he was looking at anything. He certainly didn't acknowledge me. I stayed 90 minutes then left to do carpool again.
Elvi and I returned that night. My dad was feverish and diagnosed with a lung infection and a urinary tract infection. He seemed worse. Around 11:00 p.m., Child Two called us because she was in great pain around her eye. We left my dad and headed home.
What Child Two described sounded to me to be a migraine. I gave her one of my Maxalt – that would cure a migraine but not another sort of head pain. It helped her a bit and she was able to get to sleep. The next morning, yesterday, she had more pain. This time a Maxalt did not help. Neither was the acetaminophen or ibuprofen. I pulled out the heavy artillery and gave her one of my 1-mg Dilaudids, that got rid of her pain and knocked her out for the afternoon. Victory – or so I thought.
Elvi reached my toward the end of a hockey practice last night. She was taking Child Two to the emergency room at Montreal Children's Hospital. I dropped Child Three off at his friend's for a sleep-over then went to join them.
I was almost there when Elvi called to tell me that she had forgotten Child Two's health insurance card, so I drove home, changed clothes, and picked up the card. I got to the hospital at 8:30 p.m. At 2:30 a.m., we got the diagnosis: Child Two probably has a sinus infection. We picked up anti-biotics at an all-night pharmacy and came home.
In the meantime, my dad has stabilized and appears to be out of the woods for now.
So, yeah – too much time in hospitals.
Bonus peace and quiet:
At least the dog has stopped his barking/moaning sessions.

PAWTUCKET — There have been three editions to Paul Dickson's handy and comprehensive "The Dickson Baseball Dictionary," though no revised version has graced bookstore shelves in the past five years.
If and when Dickson gets around to updating the game's vernacular – 952 pages of words and phrases suggests that the author has covered all the bases (no pun intended) – he should make it a point to insert the full name of the Red Sox' current version of a Swiss Army knife: Brock Holt.
BARRINGTON — If PGA stalwarts Steve Stricker and Bo Van Pelt had their way, they'd return to the CVS Caremark Charity Classic every summer.
The only problem? Given the duo's remarkable success at Rhode Island Country Club over the past two years, tournament co-hosts and local favorites Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade joked about their possible return after a wildly-entertaining finish early Tuesday afternoon.
When asked if there was anything he would change about the event, Faxon grinned, "I wouldn't invite Stricker back. He's too good."
PAWTUCKET — It wasn't Mookie Betts' intention to create a firestorm. Thanks to his strong play since joining the PawSox three weeks ago coupled with Red Sox manager John Farrell's impromptu "I know Mookie Betts is swinging the bat well" remark last weekend, the 21-year-old wunderkind is being seen in a different light.
In response to the attention that goes with the territory of being the flavor of the moment, Betts sought out Kevin Boles. The last thing Betts wanted to do was to make the life of the PawSox manager even more chaotic.
PAWTUCKET — In the world of target dates and timetables, Shane Victorino's bid to rejoin the Red Sox during the team's current West Coast sojourn came up well short.
With Wednesday marking the final game of a three-game set in Seattle, the best that Victorino can hope for is a return this weekend in New York. In order reach the point where the Red Sox feel comfortable enough to activate him, it's safe to say that the outfielder will have to withstand the challenge of playing nine innings.
BARRINGTON – Peter Jacobsen found himself in an unusual position when the first round of the 16th annual CVS Caremark Charity Classic ended Monday afternoon.
The former PGA star and playing partner Jimmy Walker manufactured a nine-under 62 at Rhode Island Country Club, and he admitted being tied for the lead – with the defending champion tandem of Steve Stricker and Bo Van Pelt – was a spot he didn't anticipate.
"What was our secret? I don't know, except maybe my youngest daughter (Kristen Sahler) is in the hospital (in Greenwich, Conn.); she's in labor, so maybe that's it," he smiled.
WOONSOCKET – Justin Switzer admitted his initial two years at Woonsocket High, those in 2005 and '06, were at the very least problematic.
He had wanted to compete on the Villa Novans' wrestling team, but he missed most of his freshman season because he was deemed academically ineligible. He didn't even practice as a sophomore for the same reason.
When Vaughn Hayward walked off the mound at Connecticut's Dodd Stadium on May 24, part of him was resigned to the possibility that he had thrown his last pitch in a competitive game.
That spring afternoon featured the collegiate Hayward at his finest for Bryant University. With the Northeast Conference championship and a berth to the NCAA Tournament on the line, the senior flummoxed the Sacred Heart hitters with 6.1 shutout innings while scattering five hits. It looked like a chance to go out on top, as Hayward did not make an appearance in either of the Bulldogs' NCAA games.
PROVIDENCE – After several years of watching Rhode Island high school boys' basketball crown one undisputed state champion and do so with mostly positive reviews, the girls' hoops community is officially prepared to follow suit.
PAWTUCKET – If his parents, or any others, could have heard the words spoken by North Smithfield High senior quad-captain/shortstop Dylan Narodowy inside McCoy Stadium late Wednesday afternoon, they would've expressed joy.
The Northmen had just sustained a more-than-crushing 3-1 loss to top-ranked East Providence in Game Two of a best-of-three R.I. Division II Tournament championship final set, but Narodowy maintained his poise.
His dream of earning a state title over, he remained a rock.
PAWTUCKET – Call it crazy, but North Smithfield High head coach Jon Leddy seemed rather upbeat while walking through the McCoy Stadium grass behind the plate on Tuesday afternoon.
His club had just dropped an at-times ugly, 5-2 decision to top-seeded East Providence in the opener of the best-of-three R.I. Division II Tournament championship set before a crowd of at least 500, but the calm seemingly came from the fact he knew why.

What about Upromise?
Chris Wilcox/
Jun 18th, 2013
Upromise/SavingStar Customers,
This week, we began notifying customers that our Preferred Card is no longer required at our stores to receive sales prices on items, and for many of you, your first question is, "What about Upromise and SavingStar?"
If your Preferred Card is attached to your Upromise/SavingStar account, that's okay. You will still be able to have your card scanned when you purchase your groceries and your account activity will be appropriately reflected. As always, if any changes are made to that program, you'll be the first to know.
We invite you to share your thoughts with our Customer Service Center and thank you for your business.

Why don't the cashiers, assistant managers, and managers at the store know this? They have been telling everyone there is no benefit to the card when there is. They have been getting people not to type their number in, to give up their cards and quickly. When I tell them they are giving out incorrect info, they say they don't know anything about Albertsons and Upromise. This is misinformation and has a negative impact on Upromise shoppers.
Janet 04/07/2013 at 11:09 pm
In fact, I've been told that there will be a software update and the Upromise card and number will no longer be accepted very soon.
Brad McNamara 21/07/2013 at 6:07 pm
How do we update our Albertsons card? we have a new address and phone number?
Monica 27/07/2013 at 5:20 am
I am new to SavingStar and have been "shopping around" the last few weeks for a new grocery store because Im sick of the one I've gone to for years.. I was surprised to really like the Albertsons by my house and see their prices are not near as high as I remember from years ago, but I want to be able to use the SavingStar program. How can I do that if you no longer offer Preferred Cards?
Robin Names 08/08/2013 at 11:14 pm
In my most recent trip to my local Albertsons, when I asked to have my card scanned anyway so I could get the SavingStar savings, the cashier, who's been there for years, not only told me she never heard of SavingStar, but that all card information had been deleted so it was pretty pointless to scan my card. Guess I'll have to shop elsewhere to get my savings.
Genny Magana 28/08/2013 at 2:20 pm
When I was shopping I asked the cashier to scan my card (I only have the key chain card) and she said they no longer use the Albertsons card. I told her I understood that but I have it with my upromise and saving star account. She didn't refuse to scan my card but she didn't do it either and just told me to go online and get a upromise card. Is this your policy now?
Chris Baldini 13/09/2013 at 5:33 pm
I have a Preferred card # and would like to use it at the gas station. Unfortunately, the gas station tells me it's not a valid number…
Janet 17/04/2014 at 1:42 am
Cindy: I hope I did reply to you about which store is saying a card is not needed and don't seem to know about UPromise. If not, the store I referred to is in Ventura CA. Now many of the cashiers bypass the screen allowing me to enter my phone number though I've told them repeatedly about UPromise. They still tell me that I don't need to enter my number or use a card and seem irritated that I want the option.
arthur 03/11/2014 at 10:13 am
hello! i am new to upromise and i was wondering how if i could still get a Albertson card just for the use of being able to shop at Albertsons and get the deals offered by upromis?? thanks!!

- Block of GABAA receptor ion channel by penicillin: Electrophysiological and modeling insights toward the mechanism. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Oct 8.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
GABAA receptors (GABAAR) mainly mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Different classes of modulators target GABAAR properties. Penicillin G (PNG) belongs to the class of noncompetitive antagonists blocking the open GABAAR and is a prototype of β-lactam antibiotics. In this study, we combined electrophysiological and modeling approaches to investigate the peculiarities of PNG blockade of GABA-activated currents recorded from isolated rat Purkinje cells and to predict the PNG binding site. Whole-cell patch-сlamp recording and fast application system was used in the electrophysiological experiments. PNG block developed after channel activation and increased with membrane depolarization suggesting that the ligand binds within the open channel pore. PNG blocked stationary component of GABA-activated currents in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 value of 1.12mM at -70mV. The termination of GABA and PNG co-application was followed by a transient tail current. Protection of the tail current from bicuculline block and dependence of its kinetic parameters on agonist affinity suggest that PNG acts as a sequential open channel blocker that prevents agonist dissociation while the channel remains blocked. We built the GABAAR models based on nAChR and GLIC structures and performed an unbiased systematic search of the PNG binding site. Monte-Carlo energy minimization was used to find the lowest energy binding modes. We have shown that PNG binds close to the intracellular vestibule. In both models the maximum contribution to the energy of ligand-receptor interactions revealed residues located on the level of 2', 6' and 9' rings formed by a bundle of M2 transmembrane segments, indicating that these residues most likely participate in PNG binding. The predicted structural models support the described mechanism of PNG block.
- Time-lapse analysis of tangential migration in Sema6A and PlexinA2 knockouts. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Oct 2.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
In the developing cerebellum, granule cells migrate tangentially in the external granule cell layer and then radially and inward, across the molecular layer and Purkinje cell layer. We showed previously that the transmembrane semaphorin Sema6A and its receptor PlexinA2 control the ability of migrating granule cells to switch from one mode of migration to the other. In both Sema6A and PlexinA2 knockouts, a large number of granule cells remain in the molecular layer, a defect that is most likely due to abnormal nuclear translocation. We show here that the lack of Sema6A or PlexinA2 preferentially much more severely perturbs the migration of later-born granule cells than early-born ones. We also use a cerebellum slice model system and electroporation to perform time-lapse analysis of of granule cell migration in wild-type mice, Sema6A and PlexinA2 knockouts. This study reveals that defects of tangential migration can be detected in bipolar granule cells before the initiation of radial migration. Our results also directly confirm that the absence of Sema6A does not perturb radial migration.
- A novel protective role for the innate immunity Toll-Like Receptor 3 (TLR3) in the retina via Stat3. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Sep 28.:38-48.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The innate immune system and inflammatory pathways play key roles in numerous diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). Recent evidence indicates that innate immunity induces both pathogenesis and protection during neuronal injury. To test the possibility that the conflicting roles of innate immunity in the CNS depends on the cellular environment in which innate immunity is stimulated, we analyzed the effect of Toll-Like Receptor 3 (TLR3) activation on neuronal survival in the presence and absence of oxidative injury in a mouse model system. We demonstrated that activation of TLR3 by the double stranded RNA activator, Poly (I:C), during paraquat induced oxidative stress, significantly protected mouse photoreceptors, as measured by increased retinal structure, function, and improved visual acuity. In contrast, TLR3 activation without concurrent oxidative injury was neurotoxic. The neurotoxic and protective effects of Poly (I:C) stimulation were absent in TLR3 knockout animals, which indicates that protection by Poly (I:C) is dependent on the TLR3 signaling pathway. Furthermore, we identified the pro-survival transcription factor Stat3 as a necessary mechanism for protection. Knockdown of Stat3 using lentivirally delivered shRNA abolished the protective effects of TLR3 signaling in the retina during oxidative stress. Therefore, TLR3 activation in the context of oxidative stress triggers protective instead of pathogenic signaling, suggesting that TLR3 is a potential therapeutic target for neurodegeneration where oxidative stress is a significant contributor.
- Kinesin KIF4A transports integrin β1 in developing axons of cortical neurons. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Sep 23.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
CNS axons have poor regenerative ability compared to PNS axons, and mature axons regenerate less well than immature embryonic axons. The loss of regenerative ability with maturity is accompanied by the setting up of a selective transport filter in axons, restricting the types of molecule that are present. We confirm that integrins (represented by subunits β1 and α5) are present in early cortical axons in vitro but are excluded from mature axons. Ribosomal protein and L1 show selective axonal transport through association with kinesin kif4A; we have therefore examined the hypothesis that integrin transport might also be in association with kif4A. Kif4A is present in all processes of immature cortical neurons cultured at E18, then downregulated by 14days in vitro, coinciding with the exclusion of integrin from axons. Kif4a co-localizes with β1 integrin in vesicles in neurons and non-neuronal cells, and the two molecules co-immunoprecipitate. Knockdown of KIF4A expression with shRNA reduced the level of integrin β1 in axons of developing neurons and reduced neurite elongation on Laminin, an integrin-dependent substrate. Overexpression of kif4A triggered apoptosis in neuronal and non-neuronal cells. In mature neurons expression of kif4A-GFP at a modest level did not kill the cells, and the kif4A was detectable in their axons. However this was not accompanied by an increase in integrin β1 axonal transport, suggesting that kif4A is not the only integrin transporter, and that integrin exclusion from axons is controlled by factors other than the kif4A level.
- Nrf-2 regulation of prion protein expression is independent of oxidative stress. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Sep 16.:31-37.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Cellular expression of host prion protein (PrP) is essential to infection with prion disease. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate prion protein expression at both the transcriptional and translational levels is therefore an important goal. The cellular prion protein has been associated with resistance to oxidative, and its expression is also increased by oxidative stress. The transcription factor Nrf-2 is associated with cellular responses to oxidative stress and is known to induce upregulation of antioxidant defense mechanisms. We have identified an Nrf-2 binding site in the prion protein promoter (Prnp) and shown that Nrf-2 downregulated PrP expression. However, this effect is independent of oxidative stress as oxidative stress can up-regulate PrP expression regardless of the level of Nrf-2 expression. Furthermore, Nrf-2 has no impact on PrP expression when cells are infected with scrapie. These findings highlight that Nrf-2 can regulate PrP expression, but that this regulation becomes uncoupled during cellular stress.
- Mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species mediate caspase-dependent and -independent neuronal deaths. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Sep 16.:13-23.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases. Mitochondria-targeted drugs that effectively decrease oxidative stress, protect mitochondrial energetics, and prevent neuronal loss may therefore lend therapeutic benefit to these currently incurable diseases. To investigate the efficacy of such drugs, we examined the effects of mitochondria-targeted antioxidants MitoQ10 and MitoE2 on neuronal death induced by neurotrophin deficiency. Our results indicate that MitoQ10 blocked apoptosis by preventing increased mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent cytochrome c release, caspase activation, and mitochondrial damage in nerve growth factor (NGF)-deprived sympathetic neurons, while MitoE2 was largely ineffective. In this paradigm, the most proximal point of divergence was the ability of MitoQ10 to scavenge mitochondrial superoxide (O2(-)). MitoQ10 also prevented caspase-independent neuronal death in these cells demonstrating that the mitochondrial redox state significantly influences both apoptotic and nonapoptotic pathways leading to neuronal death. We suggest that mitochondria-targeted antioxidants may provide tools for delineating the role and significance of mitochondrial ROS in neuronal death and provide a new therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative conditions involving trophic factor deficits and multiple modes of cell death.
- PACAP induces plasticity at autonomic synapses by nAChR-dependent NOS1 activation and AKAP-mediated PKA targeting. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Aug 25.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a pleitropic neuropeptide found at synapses throughout the central and autonomic nervous system. We previously found that PACAP engages a selective G-protein coupled receptor (PAC1R) on ciliary ganglion neurons to rapidly enhance quantal acetylcholine (ACh) release from presynaptic terminals via neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) and cyclic AMP/protein kinase A (PKA) dependent processes. Here, we examined how PACAP stimulates NO production and targets resultant outcomes to synapses. Scavenging extracellular NO blocked PACAP-induced plasticity supporting a retrograde (post- to presynaptic) NO action on ACh release. Live-cell imaging revealed that PACAP stimulates NO production by mechanisms requiring NOS1, PKA and Ca(2+) influx. Ca(2+)-permeable nicotinic ACh receptors composed of α7 subunits (α7-nAChRs) are potentiated by PKA-dependent PACAP/PAC1R signaling and were required for PACAP-induced NO production and synaptic plasticity since both outcomes were blocked following their selective inhibition. Co-precipitation experiments showed that NOS1 associates with α7-nAChRs, many of which are perisynaptic, as well as with heteromeric α3*-nAChRs that generate the bulk of synaptic activity. NOS1-nAChR physical association would facilitate NO production at perisynaptic and adjacent postsynaptic sites to enhance focal ACh release from juxtaposed presynaptic terminals. The synaptic outcomes of PACAP/PAC1R signaling are localized by PKA anchoring proteins (AKAPs). PKA regulatory-subunit overlay assays identified five AKAPs in ganglion lysates, including a prominent neuronal subtype. Moreover, PACAP-induced synaptic plasticity was selectively blocked when PKA regulatory-subunit binding to AKAPs was inhibited. Taken together, our findings indicate that PACAP/PAC1R signaling coordinates nAChR, NOS1 and AKAP activities to induce targeted, retrograde plasticity at autonomic synapses. Such coordination has broad relevance for understanding the control of autonomic synapses and consequent visceral functions.
- Neuroproteomics in the Auditory Brainstem: Candidate Proteins for Ultrafast and Precise Information Processing. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Aug 13.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
In the mammalian auditory brainstem, the cochlear nuclear complex (CN) and the superior olivary complex (SOC) feature structural and functional specializations for ultrafast (<1ms) and precise information processing. Their proteome, the basis for structure and function, has been rarely analyzed so far. Here we identified and quantified the protein profiles of three major auditory brainstem regions of adult rats, the CN, the SOC, and the inferior colliculus (IC). The rest of the brain served as a reference. Via label-free quantitative mass spectrometry and 2-D DIGE/MALDI-MS, we identified 584 and 297 proteins in the plasma membrane/synaptic vesicle proteome and the cytosolic proteome, respectively. 'Region-typical' proteins, i.e., those with higher abundance in one region than in the other three, were considered candidates for functional specializations. Key proteins were validated via Western blots and immunohistochemistry. Functional annotation clustering revealed an overrepresentation of neurofilament proteins among the CN+SOC-typical proteins. These are related to regulation of axon diameter and, thereby, conduction velocity. Interestingly, the sets of synapse-associated proteins differed between regions. For example, synaptotagmin-2 (Syt2), a Ca(2+) sensor for fast exocytosis, was CN+SOC+IC-typical, whereas Syt1 was CN+SOC+IC-atypical. Together, our quantitative comparison of protein profiles has revealed several interesting candidate proteins for ultrafast and precise information processing.
- CD31(+) cell transplantation promotes recovery from peripheral neuropathy. [Journal Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Sep.:60-7.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Recently, we reported that human peripheral blood (PB)-derived CD31(+) cells are highly angiogenic. In this study, we investigated the beneficial effects of CD31(+) cells on peripheral neuropathy in mice. CD31(+) cells were collected from the peripheral blood using magnetic activated cell sorting. CD31(+) cells exhibited higher levels of expression of angiogenic genes on real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Peripheral neuropathy was induced by crushing the sciatic nerve with a hemostat, and CD31(+) cells were then injected intramuscularly along the sciatic nerve. CD31(+) cell transplantation restored motor nerve conduction velocity and voltage amplitude and improved motor coordination. In addition, CD31(+) cell transplantation significantly improved blood perfusion and increased intraneural vascularity in the sciatic nerve. Whole-mount fluorescent imaging and dot blot analysis showed that CD31(+) cells in the nerve possessed high engraftment and anti-apoptotic properties. Additionally, injected CD31(+) cells displayed neurovascular tropism and are highly incorporated with vasculature. Angiogenic cytokines were augmented in CD31(+)-injected nerve tissue, suggesting increased neovascularization. Taken together, these results indicate that CD31(+) cells might be a novel therapeutic strategy in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy.
- Differential synaptic distribution of the scaffold proteins Cask and Caskin1 in the bovine retina. [Journal Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't]
- Mol Cell Neurosci 2014 Sep.:19-29.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Scaffold proteins organize pre- and postsynaptic compartments and align pre- and postsynaptic events. Cask is a multi-domain scaffold protein essential for brain synaptic functions. Caskin1 is a recently discovered, brain-specific Cask-interacting multi-domain protein of unknown function. In the present study, we determined the localization of these scaffold proteins in the bovine retina. The retina contains tonically active ribbon synapses and conventional synapses. We found Cask highly enriched in virtually all retinal synapses. Cask was localized in close vicinity to the active zone protein RIM1/2 in ribbon and conventional synapses. Caskin1 is also enriched in retinal synapses but is present only in a subset of Cask-positive synapses. These findings suggest that Cask plays an important role in all retinal synapses. In contrast, Caskin1 appears to execute more specialized functions in distinct sets of retinal synapses, possibly for neuronal pathway formation and stabilization of distinct synaptic contacts.

(For the 70s British rock band, see Mr Big.)
Mr. Big combined two popular musical trends of the rock scene in the mid to late 80s: a particular brand of hard rock focused on melodies and listener-friendly choruses made for the arena, and impressive technical proficiency, then called shredding. The seeds for the group were sown when bass player Billy Sheehan (considered one of the top bassists of rock, often thought to be the bass equivalent of guitarist Eddie Van Halen) left David Lee Roth's solo band in 1988. Almost immediately after his exit, Sheehan began piecing together a new outfit, with the help of Mike Varney from Shrapnel Records, a label specialized in the shredding genre. The band comprised Shrapnel artist and former Racer X guitarist Paul Gilbert, Pat Torpey on drums, and singer Eric Martin, who had a number of album releases throughout the 1980s with his Eric Martin Band.
By 1989, the newly formed quartet, already regarded as a budding supergroup, had already inked a recording contract with Atlantic, resulting in the release of a self-titled debut the same year. Produced by Kevin Elson and Val Garay, 'Mr. Big' proved a partial commercial success, reaching the 46th slot on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead-off single "Addicted to That Rush", featuring the band's aggressive guitar and bass playing, also brought the group some mainstream attention, reaching the #39 slot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

New Program: Lunch with LUMA
If the power of images to convey complex messages interests you, then you must see the seven nineteenth-century Mexican retablos that now grace the walls of the new conference room. Gifts of Madeleine Gomez, and Jennifer and Isaac Goldman to the university, the small paintings on tin bear witness to the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of the Church in Central America.
Like Byzantine icons, retablos were vehicles by which the holy became present before the devotee. For this reason, retablo artists, most of whom were anonymous and unschooled, adhered closely to traditional European models brought to the New World by missionaries. Mexican painters ignored Benedict XIV's ban on representations of the Trinity in human form. It is not through physiognomy but by the color of their robes and the objects in their hands that one identified the three persons of the Trinity in La Santisima Trinidad. Two retablos promote the doctrine of the True Presence in the Eucharistic wine by depicting blood from Christ's wounds filling a chalice around which lambs gather. A trace of older, indigenous imagery survives in the rendering of San Raphael. His feathered headdress recalls those worn by pre-Conquest deities, priests, and rulers.

Ribs, Lightened Upby Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, August 31, 2012
This backyard classic can be tricky to make, messy to eat and tough on the waistline. We can't do much about the mess, but can help out with everything else. Grab your napkins!
Nutrition Facts
Order up a platter of baby backs at a restaurant and you'll be downing over 1,000 calories and a staggering 70-plus grams of fat. Portion control must be emphasized no matter what and making your own is your best bet.
Ribs 101
Basic options for ribs are pork or beef. Both are flavorful and juicy when properly cooked, but pork tends to be the leaner option.
The most common cuts of pork ribs are baby back or spare ribs. While spare ribs are meatier, they're also higher in fat and calories. They're also oddly shaped which can make them harder to cook evenly. You will often see them sold trimmed "St. Louis Style" to make the rack of ribs easier to deal with.
Overall, baby backs win out as the lowest in fat and calories, plus they're more tender and quick-cooking.
Tips for (more figure-friendly) juicy and tender ribs
- Impart big flavor with a dry rub
- Start cooking in the oven on low heat to render off some of the fat
- Cook in a bit of apple juice for more flavor
- Finish with a light basting of your favorite BBQ sauce
- Keep portions modest – 2 to 3 ribs per person

A new wave of calls to seniors is catching a few off guard. Well-meaning senior citizens who think they are helping a grandchild in distress are again becoming victims of the so-called 'Grandparent Scam',stated BBB President Jim Hegarty.
On Friday, April 6th, a senior citizen in Lincoln NE, received a phone call from a young man that said, "Grandma, I'm in Peru and I'm in trouble. I couldn't remember where my hotel was and some guy told me he would take me there. I got in the car with him and he had marijuana in the car. We were stopped and I was taken to the "American Consulate." Then, a person using the name "George Green" from the "American Consulate" told the woman that $2500 was needed to keep her grandson out of jail. "Mr. Green" directed her to go to a specific grocery store in Lincoln to wire the money to him in Peru. She was informed that she would need to hurry because her grandson's court time was coming up, and if the money arrived late her grandson would go to jail. The person posing as her "grandson" told her not to tell anyone.
The grandmother quickly went to the store but she only had a debit card. She was told that she needed cash to use Western Union and that $1,999.99 was the maximum amount she could wire. She called "George" back at 877-620-5116 to explain that Western Union has a $2,000 limit. "George" checked with his "supervisor" and told the victim that $2,000 would be accepted. Then the grandma went to the bank located in the grocery store, borrowed $2,000.00 and wired the money to Peru. In addition, she paid a $121 service fee for the transaction.

Right-hander Dan Haren has agreed to a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals.
The NL East champions announced the deal Friday, without giving financial terms. Earlier in the week, a person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press it would be worth $13 million.
The 32-year-old Haren was a free agent after going 12-13 with a 4.33 ERA in 30 starts for the Los Angeles Angels in 2012. The Angels nearly traded him to the Cubs after the season, then declined their $15.5 million option for 2013.
Haren is 119-97 with a 3.66 ERA with four clubs in the majors and was an All-Star in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
He joins an already formidable Nationals rotation led by Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez.

Yesterday, we had a crazy blizzard here in Buffalo, which means I had ample time to bake the day away, do laundry, cuddle kitties, and do some packing. It actually thundered while it snowed. How awesome is that?! Needless to say, I can't wait to get to the 70-80 degree weather in Vegas this weekend!
Before I get to this simple smoothie today, I want to tell you about a new feature on cooking ala mel that you may have already noticed: the Recipe Box! I've partnered up with ZipList to make saving recipes much easier! Using ZipList, you can create your own personalized recipe box to make meal planning and shopping easier by saving recipes from cooking ala mel and other food blogs/recipe sites!
To save a recipe to your recipe box from cooking ala mel, simply click the "Save Recipe" button found on each recipe.
From there, you can click "Add to List" to add it to your shopping list.
The recipe is now saved to your Recipe Box! From your Recipe Box, you can search all of the recipes on ZipList or just in your own Recipe Box – it's a great way to find and organize your recipes! I have all sorts of recipes bookmarked, pinned, and written on little slips of paper all over the place. I'll definitely be working on getting all of that into one place! ZipList is a lifesaver – for recipes, anyway!
As of right now, all of the recipes on cooking ala mel may not have the "Save Recipe" feature, as I'm in the process of reformatting all of the recipes (and there are over 300, so it's taking a while)! Bear with me, and they'll all be fixed soon. :)
And now, to this delicious smoothie! I've been trying to eat extra healthy this week because I know I'm not going to be that good next week; it is a vacation, after all! This smoothie fit that bill perfectly – simple, healthy ingredients. Super refreshing. I drank it as my post-workout all week. :)
Strawberries, peanut butter, yogurt, and spinach combine to make a smoothie reminiscent of a classic PB&J – childhood at its finest. But healthier! ;)
What are your favorite foods or treats from your childhood?
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- liquid stevia, to taste (I use about 7 drops)
- water or milk to thin, if necessary
In a high powdered blender, combine all of the ingredients, and blend until smooth. Sweeten with liquid stevia, to taste, and add milk or water to reach your desired consistency. Enjoy!

WEST WARWICK — It started out as a basketball game but ended as a baseball game thanks to West Warwick reliever Matt Grenier.
Visiting Narragansett notched eight runs in the first three innings against starter Tommy Doran and reliever Matt Hopper before Grenier entered the game in the fourth inning and proceeded to allow just one unearned run on just two hits in four innings.
The Wizards, who had 10-runned their last two opponents at McCarthy Field, matched the Mariners run for run early in the game and just kept scoring. Junior shortstop Ray Zincone had three hits and two runs scored, while junior Kody Greenhalgh had two hits, an inside-the-park home run and three runs scored in a 13-9 Division II-South win.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN — It's true that a win is a win, but when that win could just as easily have been a loss, it's enough to make a varsity team and its coach rather unsettled.
In what should have been a routine win over Cranston East last Friday, the Rebels controlled the first two games and then slid steadily backwards in games three and four.
As monsoon-like weather passed through the region this week, a number of sporting events for local schools and organizations were canceled. The skies will clear this weekend, and the shows will go on. Here is an overview of dates and times for the next game which you may want to catch:
Friday, May 2
Girls Lacrosse - East Providence at Narragansett, 3:45 p.m.
Baseball - Narragansett at Chariho, 4 p.m.
Softball - Prout at Ponaganset at 4 p.m.
WEST KINGSTON — The Exeter/West Greenwich girls managed to sweep the meet at home on Tuesday afternoon, despite some unpleasant running conditions.
"It was pretty cold, so times were not incredibly fast and a lot of kids were disappointed with that aspect of it," coach Thomas Mastroianni said during a phone interview on Wednesday morning. "But, we did win over both teams. It was very close, but we came out on top so that was good."
The Knights beat Chariho, 76-73 and defeated East Greenwich in a 69-66 final.
WESTERLY — Whether you're one of the favorites to win the boys outdoor track and field state championship (North Kingstown) or you're one of many teams just trying to get an athlete on the podium (West Warwick), it wasn't fun to compete Tuesday afternoon.
The Wizards and Skippers trudged to the southwestern corner of the state to battle Westerly in conditions that were more suited to ice fishing. Battling temperatures in the mid-40's and a steady head wind down the home stretch, all three teams attempted to earn qualifying teams for Saturday's Rich Schomp Invitational at Exeter-West Greenwich.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – The scores were a bit tighter, but the story of three straight match wins was the same with the North Kingstown boys volleyball team as they swept Cranston East 25-19, 25-23 and 25-20 Tuesday night at North Kingstown High School, remaining undefeated.
Cranston came into the game 4-3, third in Division I North. The Skippers have been dominating the field this season and the recent win brought their record to 8-0, first in DI South and best overall in boys volleyball. They have only allowed an astonishing single match victory to slip away all season (Coventry on 4/10) while they've won 24 matches against their teammates.
WEST GREENWICH - It wasn't a winning day for the Chariho girls' outdoor track team, but it was a day of close points. The Chargers traveled to Exeter-West Greenwich High School to battle the Scarlet Knights and Avengers, and unfortunately walked away with losses to both teams.
East Greenwich beat Chariho 67-65 and EWG came out on top 76-73. Though Chariho falls to 2-5-0, the girls were very close to sweeping the meet.

Lawmakers aren't happy with RetreatThe Associated Press | March 27,2013BRATTLEBORO — Members of a Vermont House committee say they're not pleased with the information they're getting from the Brattleboro Retreat about the care of state patients there.
Committee members Tuesday criticized the Retreat for slowness to keep the state informed about recent incidents at the facility, including one in which a patient reported improper sexual contact to a staff member, and the staff member failed to report the issue.
Hospital vice president Peter Albert agreed that the report should have gone immediately to the state's adult protective division.
In another case, an adolescent patient was improperly placed in seclusion.
And in another, a patient with both medical and mental health issues was reported to have been subjected to an emergency medical intervention too soon.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in...

text: Obama Defends Morgan's Free Speech, Assailed Limbaugh's Print article Send a Tip by Larry O'Connor 8 Jan 2013 post a comment The White House stood behind Piers Morgan's vociferous anti-gun statements last night by releasing a statement reminding Americans that "freedom of expression is a bedrock principle in our democracy." Yet when conservative talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh was under fire for comments made about Sandra Fluke last year, President Obama proclaimed in a press conference that the comments were "inappropriate" and had "no place in public discourse." The White House was compelled to comment on the CNN star's recent comments because a petition on their website calling for Morgan's deportation has garnered over 100,000 signatures. In a brief statement the White House said: The White House responds to all petitions that cross the threshold and we will respond to this one. In the meantime, it is worth remembering that the freedom of expression is a bedrock principle in our democracy. President Obama did not preach the virtues of free expression last March when Limbaugh was under fire for comments made about Sandra Fluke. In fact, rather than taking the patronizing "it is worth remembering" language found in the statement about Morgan, the President chose another tactic that did not respect the "bedrock principle in our democracy" that he so embraces today. After a grandstanding personal phone call to Ms. Fluke, he took to the podium in the White House press room and fielded questions about his one-on-one with the Georgetown student. All decent folks can agree that the remarks that were made don't have any place in the public discourse. The reason I called Ms. Fluke is because I thought about Malia and Sasha, and one of the things I want them to do as they get older is to engage in issues they care about … and I don't want them attacked or called horrible names because they're being good citizens. So, when Piers Morgan calls for the reversal of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution, he is defended by the White House with a reminder to the American rabble that "the freedom of expression is a bedrock principle in our democracy," but when Rush Limbaugh calls a person a mean name, the President stops everything to personally proclaim that the comments "have no place in the public discourse?" Last we checked, the oath the President is about to take for his office instructs that he should protect and defend the constitution for all of the people of our country, not just the ones with whom he agrees. We don't think Morgan should be deported, but we also don't think Limbaugh should be singled out and chastised by the leader of the free world. If the White House really wants to defend the "bedrock principle" of freedom of expression, they would stop condemning speech with which they disagree.
