Cocaine Toothache Drops - page 3
Nurses, did you know that in the US, cocaine was sold over the counter until 1914 and was commonly found in products like toothache drops, dandruff remedies and medicinal tonics? 1885... Read More
0Jan 24, '13 by sapphire18 GuideQuote from hiddencatRNHahaha the same thing happened to me!!We have liquid cocaine in our pyxis for nosebleeds. The doctor asked me to get some for a patient the other day and I was all "haha, that's funny" and the doc was all "no really, we use it all the time."

0Jan 24, '13 by FlyingScotMy best friend, who is considerably older than me and was raised in NOLA, told me of a country doctor that used to treat her sinus infections with something he swabbed up inside her nose that made her "feel great". I almost fell over laughing when I saw her face after I told her he was swabbing her with "blow".
0Jan 24, '13 by christophernftlQuote from pockunitI am from south Alabama/greater NOLA area and I can tell you that "monkey blood" is a very common name for merchurochrome among a large segment of the population. My great-great-aunt who was a nurse/folk healer type person outside of Meridian Mississippi used to call it that whenever she pulled it out to patch a neighbor up. Then again she also practiced using mostly herbs, giant folk medicine books, and an apothocary lab setup that was fascinating to a young child. Might not have been the most traditional, but when you can't afford food, and much less the MD in town, you have to go to someone!She called it "monkey blood" for some reason. I didn't tell her I was hurt unless it was really bad.
0Jan 24, '13 by squidbillyI too have seen liquid cocaine in ER pyxis as recently as last year (it was jokingly pointed out to me by my preceptor).
Also, I hold firm the belief that Coca-Cola knew very well the addictive properties of cocaine when they put it in their product alongside caffeine. I wouldn't be surprised if they still sneak some in there... -
0Jan 24, '13 by caroladybelleI have assisted MDs several times with procedures that involved cocaine solution.
Most have been resolving acute lifethreatening bleeds in oncology pts that had poor coagulation and negligible platelet counts. Usually nonstop nose bleeds, and one was an acute oral bleed in a pt with extremely poor dentician.
A few times it was used topically, where there was a large area of superficial wounds with a disproportionate amt of bleeding and pain. Gauze saturated with the solution applied sparingly to the wounds will slow/stop bleeding (because of the acute vasoconstriction) of the site and numb it temporarily, permitting easier cleaning, suturing and local anesthesia/injection. If you had to repeatedly inject lidocaine in that large an area, your pt (especially children) may object strenously. The solution application makes it more tolerable and significantly reduces bleeding, though usually dilute enough to have little systemic effect.
My understanding is that some dentists use it and it is used in ENT procedures/surgery, because of it's highly vasoconstriction properties, in those highly vascular areas. -
1Jan 24, '13 by Stcroix, PhD, RNHeck, my Mom used paregoric on my brother and me. Teething pain? Rub paregoric on 'em. Stomach ache? Diarrhea? Yup, Mom's cure- all. Thing is, the stuff worked well! (In case you can't tell, I am older than dirt). I can still remember the taste, kinda like licorice.Esme12 likes this.

Spinach Madeleine\ Spinach Madeleine, the most famous recipe from the River Road Recipes cookbook series, has undergone a makeover! Kraft Foods has discontinued making its jalapeno cheese roll which is an important ingredient in the original Spinach Madeleine recipe. As a result, River Road Recipes has developed a substitute for the jalapeno cheese roll. We believe your family will never know the difference! Ingredients: 2 packages frozen chopped spinach Cook spinach according to directions on package. Drain and reserve liquor. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add flour, stirring until blended and smooth, but not brown. Add onion and cook until soft but not brown. Add liquid slowly, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until smooth and thick; continue stirring. Add seasonings, peppers and cheese which has been cut into small pieces. Stir until melted. Combine with cooked spinach. This may be served immediately or put into a casserole and topped with buttered bread crumbs. The flavor is improved if the latter is done and kept in refrigerator overnight. This may also be frozen. Serves 5 to 6. Spinach Madeleine is an extremely versatile dish. It can be served with crackers as an appetizer, as a side dish or even as a main course when stuffed in a tomato! |

Hi All,
Today I went out to cut the top off of my Dahlias so as to start the process of winterizing the tubers. We had our first frost on Monday.
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Greenbug, The dahlia seeds could make interesting babies and might be worth saving. You might want to ask over on the Winter Sowing forum if anyone has done that with dahlias and what their results were. There are a lot of seed savers/swappers that frequent that forum. The asters(I'm assuming annual aster, Callistephus chinensis) have sort of flattish gray rice or orzo shaped seed mixed in with all the chaff in the base of where the flower was. Remy |

Amazon Exclusive: A Letter from Sue Grafton
As with the last several books in the series, V Is for Vengeance was a long time in the making. I work by trial and error, keeping a running account of the process in journals that in this case totaled 967 single-spaced pages. It took me from March, 2009 until March, 2010 to settle on a storyline, and after that, it was ten months of hard labor. Women give birth to babies in less time, but surely without as much suffering. Brave soul that I am, I stuck with it, picking my way painstakingly from beginning to middle to end.
What sets the narrative in motion is Kinsey Millhone's spotting a shoplifter in an upscale department store. She alerts a sales clerk, who in turn notifies Security, which results in the woman's arrest. Within two days, the sticky-fingered thief has taken a dive off a four-hundred-foot-high bridge, leaving her fiancé with troubling questions. While the overall subject matter is organized retail theft, of greater concern to Ms. Millhone is the fact that at the height of the action, shortly before she's punched in the face, she realizes it's her thirty-eighth birthday and thus ends up celebrating the milestone with a broken nose and two black eyes.
--Sue Grafton, November, 2011

[1987] Morphologic and Molecular Features of Primary Lung Adenocarcinomas That Metastasize to Brain
Pallavi P Gopal, Christopher D Watt, Vania Aikawa, Anil Vachani, Ramesh Rengan, John Kucharczuk, Corey Langer, Steven Albelda, Vivianna VanDeerlin, Jennifer Morrissette, Michael D Feldman, Leslie A Litzky, Charuhas G Deshpande. University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; U Penn, Philadelphia
Background: Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, has a 15% incidence of brain metastases within the first year of diagnosis. While morphologic and molecular heterogeneity occurs in lung adenocarcinomas, it is not known whether certain features predict the propensity to metastasize to the central nervous system (CNS). We hypothesize that lung adenocarcinomas which metastasize to the CNS show distinct morphologic and molecular features, when compared to those that are locoregionally confined.
Design: Primary lung adenocarcinoma resection specimen slides were retrieved (2001-2010) and studied retrospectively for morphologic differences between tumors that developed CNS metastases (n=16) and those that had locoregional spread only (n=149). The morphologic patterns of primary lung adenocarcinomas with and without brain metastases were classified according to the percentage of different morphologic patterns and then given a histologic score based on the two most predominant patterns [Am J Surg Pathol. 2010; 34(8):1155-62]. A Fischer-exact test was used to compare the morphologies of case and control groups. Adenocarcinomas that developed CNS metastases were analyzed by PCR for KRAS and EGFR mutations and by FISH for EML4-ALK translocations.
Results: Regardless of pathologic stage, lung adenocarcinomas which developed CNS metastases were more often histologic score 6 (6/16 cases) compared to control cases (3/149; p<0.001). No difference was observed between the number of histologic score 5 [(3,2) and (2,3)] cases in the CNS metastasis group (10/16) compared to control cases (91/149; p=0.6). Lung primaries which developed CNS metastases were more likely to have predominant solid/micropapillary pattern (12/16), score 5(3,2) or score 6, compared to controls (34/149; p<0.01). KRAS mutations were detected in 7 out of 16 lung adenocarcinomas with brain metastases; 4 of these 7 were KRAS G12C mutations. No EGFR mutations or EML4-ALK translocations were detected.
Conclusions: Lung adenocarcinomas which developed CNS metastases are more likely to be of higher histologic score 6(3,3) or 5(3,2), and preliminary data suggest they may be more likely to harbor KRAS mutations. The presence of a predominant solid or micropapillary pattern may morphologically predict primary lung adenocarcinomas that metastasize to the CNS, regardless of pathologic stage.

In this bad economy, we are cutting back on so many things. Included in this is the amount of money we spend on bulbs. We want to continue planting daffodils in our yard but cannot afford them from places we would normally order them from. Soooo, we are considering getting them from Costco. We pretty much want to stick with the ones with large flowers. Does anyone have good or bad experience with bulk daffodils from Costco. Any advice would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I regularly buy bulbs from Costco, not daffodils because they multiply so fast, I can give away a bucket every year. Bulbs are easy because you can see what you are getting. Some bulbs will take a year or two to reach their full potential. If you want new varieties don't expect them from costco. As far as the bulbs being healthy and in good condition, you need purchase bulbs when first offered, but that is true everywhere. Al |

I don't know about Costco, but I buy big bags of daffodils from Lowes and you must check every bag for dried up bulbs and "ghost bulbs" - nothing there but outer skin. I've seen four out of a bag of 12 be no good. So I try to feel as many bulbs as I can in the bag before I buy it. You'd think the store would give you a discount. True, you often get a double bulb among them; but I think it's dishonest when the bag says 30 bulbs and you end up with 25. This is very prevalent when bags of 100 are sold, but I don't' see bags like this sold at Lowes anymore. Maybe that's why - too many complaints. |

I have had problems with bagged bulbs from mass merchandisers not being as labeled. Not just from Costco but Wal*Mart and Home Depot too. I bought pink/white daffodils and got yellow. I bought Regal and Oriental lilies and got yellow Asiatics. Etc. You might not care but I sure did. Especially since I paid higher prices than I would have for plain yellow daffs and plain yellow Asiatic lilies. |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 10, 10 at 17:06
I've had good luck with big box bulbs, but I'm not looking for anything unusual. I've bought boxes, bags, packages of King Alfred daffs because they're cheery and big flowered and yellow and so far that's exactly what I've gotten. No duds, no mold, no shriveled bulbs. |
- Posted by radarcontactlost 8 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 12, 10 at 0:06
Here is a tip for lots of cheap daffs. Lots of mail order nurseries run end of season sales. Usually in december they post whatever they have left at drastically reduced prices. In my location its not all that cold that time of year yet and the ground never freezes here so I can plant all year round. Watch espcecially Van Bourgondien ( I know I know, I cringe when I think about their quality too). But it is sure hard to beat a half bushel of daffs (around 250) for 20 bucks and free shipping! That is the exact deal I got last year. Brent and Beckys does the same thing, but they are considerably better quality, however not as cheap. Just an idea. |

The sconces aren't installed yet, and it's not quite finished... but I'm so pleased with it, I wanted to share it anyway.
Nearly completed custom medicine cabinet / Large vanity mirror. I am on the side of giant mirrors... I know there was a post here questioning if they've gone out of style, but the difference it's made in our smallish bath is fantastic. The room is instantly larger and brighter. If you're on the fence about it, I can't recommend it enough. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Love the way both mirrors provide a back-of-the-head look for grooming. I sure hope you've taken into account the opened medicine cabinet door - sconce contact point. Devil is in the details. . . |

It's looking great, really coming together beautifully. I had the same thought as lizb... sometimes the reality gets in the way of perfectly wonderful plans. |
- Posted by VictoriaElizabeth (My Page) on Wed, May 23, 12 at 15:56
Yes! Thankfully we've planned for the sconce/cabinet face off. It took a lot of looking for a low-profile lamp that I loved... but I found them. I was worried that it would still be too close, but it's going to exceed my best-case scenario. Alternately, we could have done a multi-light fixture centered at the top, but I really love the look (and extra light) of two sconces through the mirror. |

I want to make some mini tarts to take to a gathering next Tuesday. Any suggestions?
No pecans. Can't find them here. Lisa |

Do you have a mini muffin tin? Use the Lemon Tassies variation: Filling: Combine eggs, brown sugar, margarine, vanilla & salt. Mix well (do not beat with beater or tops will be crusty instead of nutty.) Divide pecans evenly in pastry shells. Pour filling in shells, filling 2/3 full. Bake in apreheated 350░ oven 20-25 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from pans. Cool on wire rack. Makes 24.~~ For Lemon Tassies substitute white sugar for brown; omit pecans & add 2 TBL lemon juice & 1 tsp lemon zest.~~ LEMON TARTLETS (makes 36) Filling: For the shells, combine tart shell ingredients. Mix well. Roll into small balls. Press into lightly greased mini muffin pans. Bake in a preheated 325░ oven for about 25 minutes. Here's a tart shell recipe that works with all kinds of fillings: Combine the flour, sugar & salt in a mixer bowl & mix well. Cut in the butter using the paddle attachment at low speed until crumbly. Add just enough ice water until the dough adheres & mix well. The addition of too much water will make a tough dough. Chill 30 minutes. Roll the dough to fit individual tart pans, allowing 1/4" overhang to allow for shrinkage. Prick tart shells with a fork. Blind bake the dough (after lining w/parchment & weighting with dried beans) in a preheated 350░ oven for 15-20 minutes or until very light brown. Remove the parchment & beans. Brush a mixture of the egg & water over the bottoms. Bake a few more minutes until light brown.~~ |

That one sounds good, Ruthanna with a real crust instead of the vanilla wafers. Interesting it has cocoa in it too. |

I recently saw a picture of a pastry that had lemon curd at the base and then a combo of berries (black, blue, and raspberries) on top sprinkled with sugar. It was a little bigger than a "tart." It looked beautiful, but I am not sure what was used as the "crust." Could puff pastry be used or would a regular pastry crust be better? Gail |
- Posted by Ginger_St_Thomas (My Page) on Sat, Jan 10, 04 at 8:14
Gail, I've mad the recipe below a couple of times & the crust is easy & just great. Lisa, this crust would work for mini tarts, too. It makes a nice crisp crust that shatters, sort of. Really tasty & the crust freezes very well unbaked. The recipe for lemon curd is also excellent. |

Posted by DebraJ
This wonderful recipe was given to me by Margie, the prior owner of Little Bitts, an incredible cake decorating store in Wheaton, MD.Margie's Lemon Cake Recipe
- 2 Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Lemon Cake mixes (the BEST one to use) 2 cups water 1/3 cup Crisco oil 8 large eggs 1 small box lemon instant pudding 1 small box lemon cooked pudding (it's the kind that you would have to cook on the stove and is usually right next to the instant) 1 envelope Dream Whip (also in the baking aisle in powder form -- normally comes two envelopes in a box) 2 oz. Superior Lemon Flavor (usually found in a cake decorating store -- I've made the cake without it in a pinch (don't use the regular lemon flavor -- it's too strong))
Combine all ingredients. Blend until moistened and then beat on medium speed four to five minutes. Bake in a 350 degree oven and depending on what size cake pans you use, check after 20 minutes. Cake is done when you can stick a fork in the middle and it comes out clean. Makes one 12x18 sheet cake or (4) 8" or 9" cake layers, (2) 13x9x2 cakes or a lot of cupcakes. Freezes well. I don't even go there.

- 1 package(s) (3-ounce) low-fat ramen-noodle soup mix (see Tips & Techniques)
- 1/4 cup(s) slivered almonds
- 1 tablespoon(s) sesame seeds
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) canola oil
- 1 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
- 3 slice(s) (1/4-inch-thick) fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 3 tablespoon(s) orange juice
- 3 tablespoon(s) cider vinegar
- 5 teaspoon(s) reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 5 teaspoon(s) sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon(s) toasted sesame oil
- 2 cup(s) shredded green cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 3 scallions, chopped
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Crumble ramen noodles onto a large rimmed baking sheet (discard seasoning packet). Add almonds, sesame seeds, and canola oil; toss to coat. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir, then bake until the noodles are golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Let cool on the pan on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, place chicken in a medium skillet or saucepan with water to cover. Add ginger and salt; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165°F, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board to cool. Using forks, shred into bite-size pieces. (Discard the poaching liquid.)
- Meanwhile, combine orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Whisk or shake until the sugar has dissolved.
- Just before serving, combine the shredded chicken, cabbage, carrot, and scallions in a large bowl. Add the toasted noodle mixture and the dressing; mix well.

Tips & Techniques
Tip: Ramen noodles, usually packaged with a seasoning mix to make instant soup, are a convenient and seemingly healthful product. But what you may not realize is that the noodles have been deep-fried. A serving of the soup contains 8 grams of fat. Look for baked ramen, with only 1 gram of fat per serving. Be sure to check the label so you know what you're buying.

Jul 3, 2012 4:14 PM by Dennis Bragg and Irina Cates
(EAST MISSOULA)- One person is dead after a car flipped over on Interstate 90 just east of Missoula around 1:30 this afternoon.
Montana Highway Patrol troopers are still investigating, but say it appears the vehicle went out of control as it was headed eastbound on Interstate 90, rolling over and landing in the westbound lanes.
Missoula County Sheriff's deputies confirmed one person was dead as a result of the accident, identifying the victim as a 31-year old woman from Milltown.
The crash happened just east of the East Missoula exit, and troopers and deputies had to divert all of the westbound traffic off the freeway between East Missoula and Bonner, sending cars onto Highway 200. At one point about half-an-hour after the accident traffic was backed up all the way to Turah.
Eastbound traffic was down to a single lane.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the accident. No one else was in the car and no other vehicles were involved.

How can I afford to stay home with my baby?
I want to be a stay-at-home mom more than anything in the world. Even though I know I have to work for financial reasons, I can't help wishing my life were different, being depressed, crying all the time, being jealous of my friends who stay home, and fighting with my husband every day about not wanting to leave our 8-month-old. This is ruining our marriage, but I don't know how to just accept it. Please help!

Health professionals from across Kaua'i are drawing attention to the growing use of hazardous pesticides on the Garden Island. Nurses, pediatricians and other health care practitioners testified before the Kaua'i County Council yesterday, urging leaders to adopt legislation that would better protect the island's residents, especially children. But global pesticide corporations won't swallow that pill so easily.
The small island has drawn increasing attention, as it has become an epicenter of operations for global pesticide corporations testing genetically engineered (GE) seeds. As I've noted before, the county bill would take steps to provide physicians and families with better information about the pesticides used, including a pesticide use registry.
It's been more than two years since EPA's Scientific Advisory Panel reprimanded the agency for lowballing the cancer risks of atrazine — including risks of childhood cancer. Now EPA is finally taking another look at this widely used herbicide.
Atrazine is found in most of our drinking water — about 94%, according to government sampling. And this month, EPA officials start taking another look at the health and environmental harms of Syngenta's flagship herbicide. With exposure so widespread, it's hugely important that they get it right.
Every day, rural women in Asia face mounting challenges caused by an increasingly broken system of food and agriculture. High food prices, low income, land grabbing, climate change and decreasing control over seeds mark the experiences of the women farmers who grow much of the region's food.
Our Stories, One Journey: Empowering Rural Women in Asia is a traveling journal, recording the thoughts of eight rural women for 10 days in eight different countries. The women write, draw and compose poetry and songs. Their message is simple: help transform agriculture into a more equitable, fair and sustainable system.
In our modern, chemical-filled world, many parents are constantly guarding their kids against exposure to pesticides and other potential health threats. Today I want to shine the light on just one of those hardworking parents: a mom named Andrea Stish.
Andrea recently moved to Rochester, Minnesota with her husband and their toddler. Since then, Andrea has been working tirelessly to protect her daughter from pesticides at city parks and in their own neighborhood. Now she's taking her case to city officials, calling for a commitment to pesticide-free parks and playgrounds to protect all the city's kids.
Seven years. Scientists tell us that's the window in the first years of life when children are most vulnerable to pesticide harms. That's also exactly how long EPA has — so far — delayed putting rules in place to protect kids from pesticides that drift from agricultural fields.
Bottom line? While regulators think about what to do, an entire generation of rural kids has experienced increased risk of harms that can last a lifetime. Health risks from early life pesticide exposure are very real, and can be serious. Science points to falling IQs, ADHD, learning disabilities, birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. That's why this week, we're taking EPA to court for being too darn slow.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Representatives John Conyers (D-MI) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced a long-awaited bill to place a moratorium on bee-harming pesticides. The "Save America's Pollinators Act" would require EPA to pull neonicotinoid pesticides off the market until fully reviewed by independent scientists and proven safe for pollinators.
EPA's current review of these pesticides is due to conclude in 2018, with an action plan to be implemented sometime thereafter. Meanwhile, bees continue to die off in droves — and scientific evidence highlighting neonics as a key factor continues to mount. Bees need help now, and the Conyers-Blumenauer bill provides them an immediate reprieve from neonic exposures.
Update 7/18/13: After months of delay, Gina McCarthy was confirmed as the new head of EPA today. See this media statement for more details.
We hear the Senate will take up the confirmation of EPA's new leader next week. As we wait on the final vote, I've been thinking about what I'd say to Administrator-to-be Gina McCarthy if I had a chance to take her out for coffee and a chat as she gets ready to step into her new role.
Three things come to mind. First, I'd urge her to have the agency do a much, much better job following the science. Second, when that science points to human health or environmental harms, she needs to move fast — no dawdling allowed. And third, I'd remind her just exactly who she'll be working for. Because even though they don't show up in suits on EPA's doorstep every day (like the industry reps do), it's the nation's children she'll answer to in the end.
Today farmworkers from across the country are showing up on Capitol Hill to demand rules that protect them and their families from harmful pesticides. We urge leaders in Washington to listen carefully — and then do the right thing.
EPA has been promising to strengthen existing rules for the past 13 years, but the reality in the fields remains the same: farmworkers regularly face harmful exposures to pesticides. An estimated 10,000-20,000 are poisoned each year, and countless more suffer long term health harms. With today's fly-in, more than a dozen farmworkers from several states will put faces and stories to these numbers for lawmakers, and deliver a simple message: Enough is enough.
It's been almost 29 years since a Union Carbide pesticide plant exploded in Bhopal, India. The 1984 tragedy — one of the worst industrial accidents in history — has killed at least 20,000 people, and contamination at the accident site continues to put the surrounding community's health at risk.
Last month, a New York court once again denied justice for Bhopal victims when it upheld a previous judgment dismissing all claims against Union Carbide and its former CEO, Warren Anderson. Attorney Rajan Sharma, who represented the survivors, called the decision a "whitewash."
As many of us geared up for Fourth of July festivities, the nation's largest beekeeper organizations filed a legal action against EPA for its approval of a new bee-harming pesticide.
EPA is unable (or unwilling) to act decisively to protect bees, instead fast-tracking a new pesticide to market. Beekeepers aren't taking the issues lightly, and have turned to asserting legal pressure on the agency.

This year's tournament has had a pattern of the second day of a round producing much more entertaining and thrilling basketball than the first day. Given that three of the first four Sweet Sixteen games were decided by 10 points or more on Thursday night, we're all hoping that Friday continues the trend of Day 2 thrillers.
Here is what's on tap tonight…
7:15 p.m. – Midwest Region – No. 1 Louisville vs. No. 12 Oregon – Indianapolis, Indiana

What a way to kick off a night of great Sweet Sixteen matchups. Louisville is the top-seeded team overall and has looked every bit the part of a No. 1 in picking apart North Carolina A&T and Colorado State, while No. 12 Oregon has proven that they were by far the most under-seeded team of the tournament. This matchup will feature two of the most impressive players of the tournament thus far, with Cardinals guard Russ Smith going up against Ducks rebounding machine and Iranian-born Arsalan Kazemi.
My Pick: Louisville
7:37 p.m. – South Region – No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 4 Michigan – Arlington, Texas
With Gonzaga and Indiana already eliminated, many are looking at Kansas as the next No. 1 to go and looking at Michigan as the team who can oust them. The Jayhawks barely survived No. 16 Western Kentucky last Friday night and then came out very lethargic for the first half of their matchup with No. 8 North Carolina, while the Wolverines have looked dominant in beating South Dakota State and VCU by a combined 40 points. If the Kansas team that wiped out UNC in the second half on Sunday shows up tonight, they should be fine, but if the lackadaisical Jayhawks team that tried to coast through the first three halves of this tournament shows up, Michigan can win this in a rout.
Broadcast team: Marv Albert, Steve Kerr and Craig Sager
My Pick: Kansas
9:45 p.m. – Midwest Region – No. 2 Duke vs. No. 3 Michigan State – Indianapolis
Broadcast team: Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg and Tracy Wolfson
After the disappointment of losing to a No. 15 seed last year, the Blue Devils haven't looked nearly as vulnerable in their first two games of the tournament this time around, while Michigan State won their two games by an average of 16.5 points. It's Duke's seventh-ranked offence versus Michigan State's 21st-ranked defence. Mike Krzyzewski versus Tom Izzo. Should be a good one.
My Pick: Duke
10:07 p.m. – South Region – No. 3 Florida vs. No. 15 Florida Gulf Coast – Arlington
Broadcast team: Marv Albert, Steve Kerr and Craig Sager
Florida Gulf Coast is the first No. 15 seed to advance to the Sweet Sixteen, but they haven't exactly looked like a team that's in over their heads. With the trio of Sherwood Brown, Bernard Thompson and Brett Comer leading a high octane offence, the Eagles handily beat No. 2 Georgetown and No. 7 San Diego State, scoring 159 points in the process. FGCU has yet to take the court against a defence as stingy as Florida's, however, (0.839 points allowed per possession) and while it would be awesome to see the Eagles continue their magical run, I picked the Gators to win this tournament behind that defence.
My Pick: Florida

I have taken an experimental approach to the study of evolution because it allows me to address questions from many areas of evolutionary biology. Evolution experiments using microorganisms have been able to address widely ranging topics from kin selection and the evolution of virulence to the evolution of mutation rates, and the evolution of habitat (or host) specialization.
Although I am interested in all aspects of evolutionary biology, and students and postdocs in my lab are encouraged to develop independent projects that follow their own interests, the primary focus of my work has been to investigate the genetics of adaptation. I am using laboratory evolution experiments of bacteriophage (bacterial viruses) to address the following questions:
- Does adaptation occur by large or small steps?
- Are certain genotypes better able to adapt than others?
- Can we identify factors that shape the nature of interactions between mutations?
Bacteriophage serve as particularly suitable systems for addressing the genetics of adaptation because they offer the opportunity to observe events on an evolutionary timescale within weeks or even days. For example, we can watch evolution of the bacteriophage phi-6 in action. The following pictures were taken at different timepoints during the evolution of a low fitness phage genotype toward an adaptive optimum What you're seeing is a pale gray background that is the bacterial lawn and dark circles where phage have landed, replicated, and killed bacteria to make cleared circles that we call plaques. It is easy to monitor adaptation in phi6 because plaque size is a strong correlate of fitness (i.e. relative growth rate). As beneficial mutations appear and become common in adapting populations, fitness improves and plaque size increases.

Dropping ideas and cutting content is a natural part of game development - indeed, of creating an entertainment product full stop - and that's no less true of Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall, out for Xbox 360 and Xbox One in March.
Speaking to OXM as part of a ma-hoosive preview in our latest issue, on sale now, designers Fairfax McCandlish and Justin Hendry took us through the broad strokes of the editing process. They also let slip a few particular ideas that didn't survive development. Players used to have much more control over Auto-Titan behaviour, for instance.
"Yeah, we definitely thought about being able to send them out, put them in an aggressive kill mode, so that they seek other players out," Hendry told me. "But the things that were the most useful to players were being able to say 'wait here, I'm going to come back for you', essentially like parking a car, and 'come look for me'.
"A lot of times when you sent them out, they'd go off and get themselves killed. It was cool, but players didn't really manipulate [Titans] or understand where they were going to go, whereas if you put one in Follow mode, you know he's going to walk a path towards you, so you can make sure there aren't any Titans there, and that it's safe for him to make his move. And Guard mode is just your standard 'I want you to be here when I come back'."
Respawn also experimented at some length with different Titan classes. There are three in the final game (that we know about, at least), which correspond to some well-trodden class conventions: the Stryder is speedy but fragile, the Ogre is tough but slow, and the Atlas is a middle ground.
"We knew what kind of playstyles we wanted to support," Hendry explained. "We knew some people would want something a bit faster, some people would want something a bit heavier. And we experimented with some things for sure, different values in terms of how they move, different abilities, and we did a lot of experimentation, and ended up with the three that we had."
Other ideas were abandoned because they didn't fit Titanfall's rough-and-ready breed of science fiction. "A lot of things that would break the aesthetic of the universe were things that we wouldn't push forward without an extremely strong gameplay win," said Hendry. He declined to go into specifics, but noted that "there's weapons that we ended up decided we're not going to ship with, whether because it didn't work, or... I don't want to talk about it."
The leanness of Titanfall's arsenal is surprising, given the developer's history with the notoriously unlock-stuffed Call of Duty. Senior artist Ryan Lastimosa has offered a pretty robust explanation for this over on the Xbox NewsWire. "Well, we boiled it all down. You don't need 20 different swords to do the same job. Also, there's so much going on in Titanfall, why would you want to sort through dozens of weapons? All you really need is one specific weapon to do one specific job."
Achieving that level of specificity hasn't been easy. The project's focus changed significantly during development, as Respawn pondered how to distinguish Titanfall from other first-person shooters. "There was a part where the story was the primary focus, and we were figuring out characters and figuring out how to write a better story," McCandlish recalled during an interview with our US colleagues.
"And there were other times were it was purely: what are new ways to play a shooter that we can give people, that they've never played before? And we playtested a lot of different gameplay concepts and then kept the parts that worked the best with each other."
No single element of Titanfall should be considered in isolation, he went on. "It's not that the story is more important or that the gameplay is more important, it's that they both have been created to complement each other. The parts which stayed in were the parts that were the strongest.
"The cutting room floor is three feet deep on this game, you know? It was a bit of a bloodbath, but that's how you get the actual best possible content, and that's how you can create a new IP that will actually stand out and be compelling to play."

Lead gazer Kevin Shields and his reunited crew will hit five major cities across North America, including two-night stands in New York City and Los Angeles. Who? Reverb-drenched, Dublin-born shoegaze pioneers My Bloody Valentine -- the beneficiaries of some post-millennial publicity thanks to Scarlett Johansson's Lost in Translation -- are led by Kevin Shields, Bilinda Butcher (vocals/guitar), Debbie Googe (bass), and Colm O'Ciosoig (drums). What? A seven-date North American tour, set to follow the quartet's first U.S. gig in 16 years, slated for the freshly minted ATP New York event, August 19-21. The tour will then kick off proper-like with a pair of gigs at New York City's Roseland Ballroom, jump north of the border to Toronto, touch down in Chicago, then head west to San Francisco before wrapping with two shows at Los Angeles' Santa Monica Arena Oct. 1-2. Should I go? Yes, absolutely! The fan-propelled hype behind this much-anticipation reunion is unparalleled -- and for good reason. My Bloody Valentine's 1991 opus Loveless is a benchmark of both artistic achievement and studio mastery. Its amorphous, lost-at-the-bottom-of-the-ocean guitar fuzz, and intertwining, blending sonic colors still hold court by today's standards -- even 17 years later. One problem: tickets sales will likely redefine box office speeds and set new Craigslist.com auction prices. All dates via Pitchfork My Bloody Valentine tour dates: 9/19-21, Monticello, NY (Kutshers Country Club/ATP New York)

Cabling Arrangement
Budget power supplies are usually very simplistic in the cable layout. The PowerX 550W has a little less of a traditional approach and features some cables mixed with different peripheral cables. This is nice to see as when you're building on a budget, you generally don't have a lot of peripherals and with this cable layout it is plausible that you could get away with a single peripheral cable and hide the others to keep things tidy inside the case.
The Cougar PowerX 550W features dual 12V rails. 12V1 is responsible for the Main, PCI-E and all peripheral cables, while 12V2 is responsible for nothing more than the ATX 4+4 cable. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to devote a full 22A to the auxiliary power connector, while throwing everything else on a rail that is only capable of 336W of power.
A Look Inside
There isn't too much going on inside the PowerX 550W power supply, but that's to be expected with a budget unit. There is plenty of passive cooling going and it looks like Cougar could have gone with a shorter enclosure if they really wanted to as the PCB is much shorter than the enclosure.
A single Panasonic capacitor sits on the primary side of the power supply.
Teapo capacitors litter the secondary side of the power supply.
Cougar uses their own DFT122512M 120mm fan to provide the active cooling for the PowerX 550W power supply.

Please do not use your cell phone to text while driving. This represents irresponsible, dangerous, and unChristianlike behavior that could kill or injure you, your passengers, and other drivers. Being distracted while driving is a formula for mayhem and death on the highways.
That's why it is so important to have tough laws -- laws with teeth -- to cut down on the distraction that is texting while driving. New York and especially Pennsylvania have a long way to go in this regard. For example, on November 1st a new law went into effect in New York State that outlawed texting while driving.
Unfortunately, the police cannot cite someone for texting while driving unless the driver is initially stopped for something else like speeding or going though a stop sign. In other words, texting while driving is not a primary offense in New York. Furthermore, if stopped for something else and then ticketed and convicted for texting behind the wheel, the maximum fine is a measly $150.
I submit that the ban on texting while driving in New York is a paper tiger -- a joke of a law that invites people to break the law. New York needs to make texting while driving a primary offense, with steep fines, and with major auto insurance consequences.
If New York has a long way to go in the driving while texting department, Pennsylvania's situation is much worse. It's hard to believe that there is no statewide ban on texting while driving in the Keystone State.
That's right. There is no ban on texting while driving in the Keystone State. This is a situation which is dangerous and unacceptable. What a disgrace!
On top of this, there is not even a statewide ban in Pennsylvania on the use of handheld cell phones while driving. Again, what a disgrace! A major responsibility of government is to protect the lives and safety of citizens. The Empire and Keystone States are failing in this regard.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for writing in and I always appreciate your comments. Comment below, or send me an email.
- Dr. Coleman also airs commentaries and a public affairs program on WETM 18 Elmira. For more information on these programs, go to wetmtv.com.
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
HI There,
I am writing to comment on today's commentary regarding the laws in PA and NY regarding cell phone use and texting while driving. I agree that these activities are dangerous and should never be done while driving, but I do not agree with the commentator's conclusions regarding the need of new laws on these activities. I did a brief search on-line about things people do while driving and came up with the following - all things that have been observed and even photographed.
"Working on Laptops, reading the paper, eating cereal, Women putting on make up. A woman drying her hair by sticking her head out the car window and brushing it at the same time. Eating, adjusting the radio, adjusting the climate control, and smoking. A driver doing her hair (battery op curling iron?) going down I-235 @60 mph. Changing their clothes, reading a map, reading a book, reading work papers, reading your mail, texting, shaving, sleeping, correcting fighting children, watching TV or DVD's, programming GPS units.
This little factoid might drive you to quit driving: 36 percent of people admit to changing clothes while behind the wheel.
That's according to a recent survey done by Yahoo! Autos, but it gets worse...
-- 20 percent of folks say they like to read the newspaper while driving, while 8 percent admit to shaving.
-- More dangerous still, 2 percent of folks say they actually check their e-mail while driving."
So there are many other things beside cell phones and texting that cause driver distraction and result in accidents. There is no way the legislatures of every state will keep up with all of the new technology that is available to distract people behind the wheel. You can't write a law for every conceivable wrong activity. There needs to be a general law in every state that penalizes people for engaging in distracting behavior or activities that divert their attention from the road while driving. When such activities result in driving poorly or in an accident, then stiff penalties should be applied. This lets people know that distractive behavior will not be tolerated and will be punished if observed by law enforcement, and that causing an accident by such activity will receive a greater penalty. There should be insurance penalties and other legal penalties including felony driving while engaging in distractive behavior (just like felony DWI). Only then will people clean up their act. Any other approach is piecemeal and will not solve the overall problem of driver distraction because people do not take seriously the danger of multitasking behind the wheel. If insurance companies start instituting financial penalties for such behavior, people will think twice about doing an activity. Stiff legal financial penalties can also curb such behavior.
Dr. Coleman may be correct that using a cell phone while driving is not a wise decision however to suggest that it is "unChristian" really crosses the line. What is Christian and what is not? In my mind, doing the "Christian" thing is whatever Christians are encouraged to do as found in God's Word. To take a modern technology, mix in the culture's use of same and then apply the label, "Christian" or "unChristian" really is a stretch!
The whole issue of cell phones and driving is way out of proportion. The key is that ANY driver should pay attention to their driving and try to minimize distraction. Unfortunately, eliminating distraction is an impossibility. For instance, who is not distracted when they reach over to tune the radio, CD player, GPS or even roll down their window? What about ad signs and even street signs? Do they not distract? When you approach a traffic light and your vehicle is still moving, how many don't look at the traffic lights that are signalling the traffic directed to the cross street? Is this not a distraction? MY favourite example: How many young men are distracted by very attractive young ladies walking down the street or vis versa? IF we legislate removal of distractions, then all attractive men and women should be banned from driving or walking on public streets where there is automobile traffic.
There is already legislation on the books that permit a peace officer to lay charges against a driver that does something or fails to do something that can compromise the safety of other property and persons. A person that is found to have been distracted by ANYTHING and fails to obey a rule can be charged with any number of things.
It's time that the legislators stop their knee jerk reactions when they hear a few squeeky wheels without grease. Let's face it, these new laws are a waste of time and money and the proof is that laws to prevent other things rarely work. Think not? Go ahead and convince me that the laws with respect to impaired driving has put a stop to all drivers that are drunk, high or sleeping and then I'll let the lawmakers pass as many laws as they like.

Our Lennox gas fireplace has a glass screen that was apparently shoved against the points of the log grate when it was installed. One place has a ding in the glass where it was pressed against the grate. Should we be worried that this is a hazard similar to having a ding in a windshield? I want to call the builder to have them reposition the whole log assembly as it is easy to see that it is touching the glass screen and even if this touching is not a hazard it doesn't look right. But, while I'm making that request should I ask them to replace the screen or am I making a mountain out of a molehill? Or should I try just try to reposition the whole log assembly myself and not worry about the ding? Thanks for the help. |

I do not know if the ding will worsen, in which case you will have to replace the glass. Since it is brand new, your warranty should cover a replacement. You might want to discuss the matter with your installer -- the manufacturer's warranty should probably cover the cost, so it should not matter to the installer. If the glass is touching the grate, there is definitely a risk that, when the grate gets hot, it will cause further damage to the glass. If the ding is a tiny cosmetic defect, it might not be worth bothering to replace it, but you should definitely reposition the logs and/or grates so they do not touch the glass. |
Thank you, haus proud. This is definitely more than a cosmetic defect. It's obvious to me that when they installed it that just kept screwing the screen in after it met resistance rather than stopping and seeing what was causing the problem and repositioning the grate and logs. DH is going to talk to the builder tomorrow so I hope all of this comes out okay without a fight. I've had a windshield that shattered when I had a similar ding in it and I don't want to risk something bad happening especially when small children are around. I'm interested in seeing if someone can give you an answer on your pilot light and mildew question. We are in Florida and another question I have had is about our pilot light which seems to be set on a very high setting with a visible flame. The glass screen also is always warm just from the pilot light. I was thinking we should just turn it off as you did to save energy but now it looks like I should rethink that idea. Maybe I can find some way just to turn it down. Good luck with your problem. |

GET THE GLASS REPLACED! One flaw in the glass can cause the whole piece to shatter. many times they shatter outward. Please get it taken care of! Also - gas fireplaces are HOT. they produce up to and over 30,000BTU's of heat. Do not let children play around and do not touch. Bad burns can result. If your pilot light is huge, you may need to have a qualified tech come and take a look. The air shutter may need adjusting. but if you don't know what you're doing and start adjusting things on your own, you may wind up with a black sooty mess on your hands. |
Thank you, all. The dealer was just here today. He said no question the glass needs to be replaced and is ordering it for us and will replace and install at no charge since his guys made the mistake. He also repositioned the grate and "log" assembly so we won't have this problem again. When he looked at the pilot light he said this was normal and invited us to visit his showroom to see the ones he has on display so I'm feeling better about this. Thanks again. |

Seriously? For a middle initial? This guy is completely nuts. My heart goes out to the guys of SCDA who are forced to deal with the antics of this guy.
- 2 02.06.12 at 2:36 pm
From the headline, I thought Zaffina had filed frivolous libel lawsuits, but instead he "squatted" on SCDA's name which they had not renewed. We have legal remedies for "cyber-squatting"; it sounds like they should be extended to non-cyber names and trademarks.
Another mildly amusing squatter case:
Foreseeing defeat in the 2006 Democratic Primary, Sen. Joseph Lieberman arranged to run on a customized "Connecticut for Lieberman" Party, and won reelection. It might have made sense to dissolve the party at that point, but it was left unattended, to be picked up by anti-Lieberman gadfly John Orman. - 3 02.07.12 at 12:48 pm
Would there be legal ramifications if they named the new group the "We Hate Dino M. Zaffina Darts League"?
As long as they spell the name correctly that is.

President's Advisory Council on Hawaii Innovation and Technology Advancement
In my address to the Legislature in February, I identified our efforts to contribute positively to the workforce and the economy by enhancing our research programs and technology development and transfer as one of our three main strategic objectives moving forward.
I am pleased to announce the creation and appointment of my President's Advisory Council on Hawaii Innovation and Technology Advancement, a team of local and national experts who will advise us on this issue.
I am excited by the diversity and caliber of individuals who have agreed to serve on the council. They are among the best and brightest in their fields, and I look forward to the ideas they will present to us later this fall.
