Loratadine is a long-acting antihistamine agent, exhibiting partial selectivity for peripheral histamine H1-receptors. To date, loratadine has been evaluated in allergic rhinitis, urticaria and, to a limited extent, in asthma.
In several large controlled comparative clinical studies, loratadine was superior to placebo, faster acting than astemizole and as effective as azatadine, cetiri-zine, chlorpheniramine (chlorphenamine), clemastine, hydroxyzine, mequitazine and terfenadine in patients with allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria. The clinical effectiveness of loratadine in asthma is at present unclear.
Loratadine is well tolerated. At dosages of 10mg daily, commonly reported adverse events were somnolence, fatigue and headache. Sedation occurred less frequently with loratadine than with azatadine, cetirizine, chlorpheniramine, clemastine and mequitazine. Serious ventricular arrhythmias, as reported with some other second generation histamine H1 -receptor antagonists, have not been observed with loratadine to date.
Thus, loratadine, with its attributes of once daily administration, fast onset of action and essentially nonsedating properties, would appear to be an appropriate first-line agent for the treatment of allergic rhinitis or urticaria.
Pharmacological Properties
Loratadine is a long-acting antihistamine agent which exhibits partial selectivity for histamine H1-receptors in vitro. It displays weak in vitro affinity for cholinergic receptors and α-adrenoceptors, while no anticholinergic effects have been observed in animal models.
In studies of its antihistaminic activity in humans, both the magnitude and duration of wheal suppression by loratadine in response to intradermally injected histamine are dose-related. Direct comparison of single doses of various histamine H1-receptor antagonists in healthy volunteers, using this standard model, revealed the following order of activity: cetirizine 10mg > terfenadine 120mg > terfenadine 60mg > loratadine 10mg > astemizole 10mg > chlorpheniramine (chlorphenamine) 4mg > placebo. Onset of antihistaminic action with loratadine, as measured by wheal and flare suppression, was apparent within the first hour of administration, and was sustained for up to 24 hours. Loratadine 10 to 20mg exhibits a protective effect on airways in response to inhaled histamine challenge in patients with asthma.
The antiallergic activity of loratadine has been demonstrated in humans, using cutaneous, nasal challenge and conjunctival provocation tests. Loratadine, however, does not attenuate early or late airways responses to inhaled allergens.
Significant ECG effects were not observed in guinea-pigs given single intravenous doses of loratadine up to 100mg/kg, or in healthy human volunteers given oral dosages of loratadine 40 mg/day for a period of 3 months. At dosages of up to 40 mg/day, loratadine does not appear to impair psychomotor function or potentiate the depressant effects of alcohol in healthy volunteers.
Pharmacokinetic Properties
Following oral administration, loratadine is well absorbed, with peak plasma concentrations of 24.3 to 30.5 μg/L occurring between 1 and 1.5 hours after ingestion of a 40mg capsule. Both loratadine and its major active metabolite, descarboethoxyloratadine (DCL) exhibit dose proportional pharmacokinetics after single- and multiple-dose administration.
Loratadine is 97 to 99% plasma protein bound and has a large volume of distribution (119 L/kg). Distribution half-lives (t1/2α) in both single- (20 and 40mg) and multiple-dose loratadine studies (40mg once daily) range from 0.9 to 1.0 hours. While loratadine is excreted into breastmilk, the amount of an administered dose appearing in the milk is minimal.
Loratadine is extensively metabolised by hydroxylation. Plasma elimination half-lives (t1/2β) of loratadine in single-dose studies (20 to 40mg) ranged from 7.8 to 11 hours. At steady-state, a t1/2β value of 14.4 hours was documented following administration of loratadine 40 mg/day for 10 days. Haemodialysis appears to have a negligible effect on loratadine clearance.
Although ketoconazole, erythromycin and cimetidine inhibit the metabolism of loratadine, these pharmacokinetic interactions appear to be of little or no clinical significance. Where ECG parameters were measured, adverse cardiovascular effects were not observed as a result of elevated plasma concentrations of loratadine or DCL.
Therapeutic Efficacy
In large comparative trials of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, short term therapy (2 to 3 weeks) with loratadine at therapeutic doses was significantly superior to placebo, and as effective as azatadine, cetirizine, clemastine, mequitazine or terfenadine. Loratadine was faster acting than astemizole, and was effective in relieving nasal, conjunctival and other non-nasal symptoms. Combination therapy with loratadine 10mg and pseudoephedrine 240mg (as a single daily dose or in 2 divided doses) may further improve nasal symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis. In children and/or adolescents with seasonal allergic rhinitis, loratadine was as effective as astemizole, chlorpheniramine, dexchlorpheniramine and terfenadine in alleviating symptoms, but less effective than intranasal fluticasone in relieving symptoms of nasal blockage.
Similarly, at therapeutic doses loratadine was as efficacious as clemastine or terfenadine over treatment periods of up to 6 months in perennial rhinitis: nasal stuffiness, post-nasal drainage and nasal discharge were reduced by approximately 50% with loratadine.
Comparable symptomatic improvement was noted with therapeutic doses of loratadine, clemastine, hydroxyzine and terfenadine over treatment periods of up to 12 weeks in patients with chronic urticaria. Preliminary data also suggest that adjuvant treatment with loratadine may relieve pruritic symptoms in patients with atopic dermatitis.
In acute coryza, combined therapy with loratadine 5mg and pseudoephedrine 120mg as 1 tablet taken twice daily may provide some symptomatic relief. Whether this combination provides additional relief of cold symptoms over pseudoephedrine monotherapy remains to be confirmed.
The clinical effectiveness of loratadine in the treatment of asthma remains unclear. Conflicting results and small patient numbers in studies conducted to date provide inconclusive results and thus do not support its use in asthma at present.
Loratadine is generally well tolerated at therapeutic doses in adults, elderly patients and children. In a review of 15 noncomparative studies in which some 55 000 patients received loratadine 10 mg/day, commonly reported adverse events were somnolence, fatigue and headaches (≈ 1%), while dry mouth and gastrointestinal upset occurred less frequently. Loratadine was less sedating than azatadine, cetirizine, clemastine, chlorpheniramine and mequitazine.
Serious ventricular arrhythmias, reported with some second generation histamine H1-receptor antagonists (e.g. terfenadine and astemizole), have not been observed with loratadine to date, although rare cases of supraventricular tachycardia have been reported.
The tolerability of a combination preparation of loratadine 5mg with pseudo-ephedrine 120mg, taken twice daily, was comparable with pseudoephedrine monotherapy, but produced a significantly greater incidence of dry mouth and insomnia in comparison with placebo and loratadine alone.
In reported cases of overdosage with loratadine, recovery was uneventful. Accidental overdosage in 5 young children at loratadine dosages 10 to 20 times greater than those recommended produced no adverse cardiac events.
Dosage and Administration
At present, loratadine is indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, urticaria and other allergic dermatological disorders. The recommended dose of loratadine is 10mg once daily for adults and for children weighing more than 30kg. Children aged 2 to 12 years and weighing less than 30kg should receive 5mg once daily.
In adults, 1 combination tablet (loratadine 5mg and pseudoephedrine 120mg) is recommended twice daily for symptomatic relief of the common cold.
Although dosage adjustments may be necessary in patients with hepatic impairment, this is unlikely to be required in either elderly patients or those with renal impairment.

collector's value?
A couple years ago, when I was learning to board, I was given this board and used it about 3 times.
It's a Mervin MFG board by Matt Cummins, with Morrow bindings (5'3" x 10 3/16" x 11 1/2" x 3/8"). It fits me great and carves well...but I haven't boarded in years and my wife wants it out of the closet. I understand that it is somewhat of a classic. I'd love to know what kind of value it has.

Nuclear Proliferation Is a new nuclear arms race beginning? By Roland Flamini
Since the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki some 60 years ago, the threat of nuclear war has been a dominant and troubling factor in world politics. For more than half the 20th. . . .

Is a total ban on nuclear weapons possible today?
A.Q. Khan's Black Market Nuclear Wal-Mart
On Feb. 4, 2004, Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pakistan's chief nuclear scientist, went on national television and confessed that he had secretly sold nuclear designs and technology to other countries. "It pains me to realize in retrospect that my entire lifetime achievements providing foolproof national security to my country have been placed in serious jeopardy on account of my activities," Khan said.
The next day, President Pervez Musharraf announced that he had pardoned Khan, and, while declaring him placed under house arrest, called him "my hero" and said, "I revere him for his contribution to making the defense of the country impregnable." Pakistanis were stunned. A.Q. Khan (as he is usually known) was a national hero who in the eyes of many had delivered their country from the threat of a nuclear attack by India by developing Pakistan's own strategic capability.
India had tested a nuclear weapon in 1978. Under Khan's direction Pakistan was successful in producing its own nuclear response, carrying out six decisive tests in 1998.
But Khan's success had a dark side: Recognizing a major business opportunity, he also organized the largest known international nuclear black market ring. Robert L. Gallucci, a former top State Department nuclear proliferation expert, calls it "one of the greatest threats to international security of which I am aware."
By his own admission, Khan had between 1989 and 2000 provided technology and expertise to Iran, Libya and North Korea. In a complex ongoing investigation, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials have still not ruled out other possible customers.
Born in Bhopal, India, Khan migrated with his Muslim family to Pakistan when the two nations split in 1947. He trained as a metallurgist in Germany, and in December 1972 was hired by an Amsterdam-based engineering firm with links to a manufacturer of nuclear equipment with an enrichment facility in Almelo, the Netherlands.
By 1974, Khan had an office in that facility and became familiar with centrifuges and the enrichment process. But the story starts earlier, in 1971, as Khan watched Pakistan lose the war with India and vowed to help prevent another defeat from happening.
Three years later, as India tested its nuclear device, he offered Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto his help in creating the world's first Islamic nuclear bomb. In 1975, when his Dutch employers discovered that Khan had stolen centrifuge blueprints he fled back to Pakistan.
"The Pakistan-based network traded everything from blueprints for centrifuges that enrich uranium to weapons' designs and parts," according to a Council on Foreign Relations background briefing paper. "It also included a sophisticated transportation system to move the goods from the supplier to the buyer."
Khan began transferring nuclear technology to the Iranians in 1989, even before Pakistan's own weapons had been fully developed. The help started with a centrifuge design and went on to hardware; the IAEA says Khan's assistance to Tehran continued until 1996, with the ruling ayatollahs paying millions of dollars for his expertise.
Starting in 1994 Khan was also involved in a technology trade with North Korea. The regime in Pyongyang exchanged its knowhow in nuclear-capable long-range missiles for Pakistani nuclear technology. One source says that Khan made 13 trips to North Korea to help with the design and equipping of uranium-enrichment facilities.
Libya was to prove Khan's downfall. Western intelligence and the IAEA for some time had indications that the head of Pakistan's nuclear program was engaged in nuclear proliferation on a large scale. For example, IAEA inspectors in Iran discovered that some centrifuge components in Iranian reactors had originated in Pakistan and that the Iranian enrichment program resembled Pakistan's.
A major breakthrough came in October 2003 when Italian authorities intercepted a German ship bound for Libya with thousands of parts for uranium centrifuges. They had been made in Malaysia from Khan's designs.
The discovery is said to have "tipped the balance" for Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, "forcing him to agree in December to disclose and dismantle his own nuclear program." Qaddafi's decision put "a mother lode of information" in the hands of the IAEA investigators. Documents turned over by the Libyans included centrifuge designs and even precise blueprints for the design and construction of a half-ton nuclear bomb. It was "the Libyans who blew up the Pakistanis," and who made the role of Khan's black market known, according to a New Yorker article by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.
While the nuclear black market goes back almost to the dawn of the nuclear age, Khan's approach broke new ground in scope and concept. Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, called it "the Wal-Mart of private-sector proliferation" because — as the CFR study states — Khan "created a centralized one-stop shop that offered technical advice, parts, and customer support." Shipment of the Malaysia-produced centrifuges tended to be through a shipping company in Dubai, on the Persian Gulf.
A 2006 report by the Stockholm-based Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission charged that Khan's network could not have functioned "without the awareness of the Pakistani government." This has long been the belief of intelligence sources and experts. Islamic fundamentalists in the Pakistani intelligence service, they say, provided help and protection.
Pakistani officials from Musharraf on down have consistently denied this. Moreover, a spokesman at the Pakistani embassy in Washington, Mohammed Akram Shaheedi, says there was no question of trying Khan because of his popularity: "It would have been difficult for the government to undertake an open trial," he says.
U.S. and British officials have complained publicly that efforts to learn which other countries Khan was in touch with prior to his discovery have been blocked by Pakistani authorities. But the consensus is that he has made the world more dangerous because some of the members of his wide organization could still do business. Already in 2004, ElBaradei was quoted as saying, "the information is now all over the place, and that's what makes it more dangerous than in the 1960s." And, says Gallucci, "Bad as it is with Iran, North Korea having nuclear-weapons material is much worse. The worst part is that they could transfer it to a non-state group." In other words, to terrorists.

Major Accident Closes I-40 East Of Hazen
Interstate 40 was closed in both directions east of Hazen because of an accident mid-morning Thursday near the White River Bridge involving three tractor-trailers and a car. Around noon police began letting some westbound traffic through.
KUAR's Malcolm Glover was at the scene and reports an official with the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department told him that a car stopped on the interstate and was struck by one truck, with two others then colliding into the wreckage.
Arkansas State Police says one person was killed in the crash and two people were airlifted to a hospital.
It happened in a work zone, where there is only one lane of traffic in each direction.
Traffic was backed up for miles in both directions and officials said it would take a couple of hours to clear the wreckage.
Glover reports many of the drivers stuck in the backup got out of their vehicles, waiting for the lanes to be reopened.
State police were routing traffic off the I-40 eastbound in Hazen and on to Highway 70. Westbound traffic was being diverted off the interstate east of the White River.

Credit Reports and Identity TheftWhat you can do to help prevent identity theft When your identity has been stolen, it may take months or even years before you realize that somebody is using your good credit rating. Checking the accuracy of your credit report regularly can detect signs of identity theft early. Since creditors, employers, insurance companies and landlords are making decisions about you based on the information contained in your credit report, it is a good idea to verify the information. After all, your credit report will follow you throughout your life and can help or hinder you financially. How do I get a copy of my credit report? The law allows you to receive a free copy of your credit report once a year. To receive a copy of your report, requests should be sent to the three major credit reporting agencies, also known as credit bureaus. You may also get your report online at www.annualcreditreport.com. You will need to supply your complete name, address, social security number, and date of birth with your request. Each credit bureau may have different information. Therefore, it is important to obtain your credit report from each of the credit bureaus. Input errors can result in incomplete, misspelled or inaccurate information. Identity theft can also cause incorrect information. Review your report carefully and dispute any errors. What should I look for on my credit report? Check your personal information; look for addresses that are unfamiliar, incorrect social security number or date of birth and unknown employers. There is no need to be concerned if previous addresses, employers and any other names you have used in the past appear on your report.
What should I do if the information on my credit report is incorrect? If you believe there is information that is inaccurate, use the dispute form enclosed with your credit report or the dispute section of the website noted on your credit report. The credit reporting agency is required by law to investigate your dispute, make corrections as appropriate and report the results to you. How can I use my credit report to prevent identity theft? Monitoring your credit report is a good start; however, there are other steps you can take. You can place a fraud alert on your credit report. A fraud alert directs lenders to verify your identity before issuing loans or credit, typically by calling you first. Creditors, however, aren't legally required to abide by, or even check for, a fraud alert. A new Maine law allows you to place a security freeze on your credit report. A security freeze goes a step further. When a freeze is in place, a lender will be told that it cannot see your credit file because you have a freeze on it. Without seeing your credit report, few lenders will issue credit. Identity thieves can be prevented from opening accounts in your name if you have placed a security freeze on your credit file. But this does not mean that you won't be able to get credit for yourself or allow potential employers to run a background check. How can I place a freeze on my credit report? To place a security freeze on your credit file you must send a request, in writing, to the three major credit reporting agencies by certified mail. If you are a victim of identity theft and have reported the crime to law enforcement, the customary fee for the security freeze will be waived. The credit reporting agency will place the freeze within 5 business days after receiving your request. Within 10 days of the freeze, you will receive a confirmation that your credit report has been blocked and you will be provided with a personal identification number. How can I remove the freeze? You can remove or temporarily suspend the freeze by contacting the credit reporting agencies. You will need to supply proper identification including the password that was provided to you by the credit reporting agencies. The freeze will be lifted within 3 business days of receiving your request. What can I do if I am a victim of Identity Theft?

SYKESVILLE ŌĆö Marcellus Shale gas drilling, is it safe or not? That's the question that more than 100 people gathered to hear the answer to at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary social hall in Sykesville Friday evening.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö With Punxsutawney PhilŌĆÖs upcoming forecast looming in the future as the days to February dwindle away, the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center prepares to again induct two new members into its Meteorologist Hall of Fame. Joining the ranks of the ŌĆ£Weather Capital of the WorldŌĆÖsŌĆØ elite, for their dedication to the advancement of knowledge in weather science, climatology and meteorology, are AccuWeatherŌĆÖs Elliot Abrams and The Weather ChannelŌĆÖs Dr. Greg Forbes. A Groundhog Day induction ceremony will take place at 12:30 p.m. Feb. 2 in the centerŌĆÖs lobby.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö The Punxsy junior-varsity girls' basketball team's 6-0 first quarter was the difference during a low scoring affair with Bradford Friday, as the Lady Chucks improved to 5-6 with a 20-13 victory.
Punxsy led 11-5 at halftime before pulling away with a 7-3 third quarter.
Both Emily Horner and Ashley Reitz led the Lady Chucks with seven points. Emily Reitz added four points.
Punxsy will return to the court when it hosts Ligonier Valley at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
St. Marys 39, Punxsy 33
STUMP CREEK ŌĆö With another trip to the Super Bowl one win away for the Pittsburgh Steelers, many super fans are becoming more noticeable.
There is one, however, that is nearly impossible to miss.
In fact, you would be able to tell where Debbie HudakŌĆÖs rooting interests lie even if you saw her dog.
Those interests would become even more apparent if you saw her bar, the Camouflage Inn, in Stump Creek, which Hudak has owned for the past 21 years.
Police: Two injured in 10-vehicle crash
UNION TOWNSHIP ŌĆö Only two drivers suffered minor injuries in a 10-vehicle accident in Union Township Friday that closed down westbound lanes of Interstate 80 until about 5:30 p.m.
According to DuBois-based Pennsylvania State Police, all 10 vehicles were traveling west on Interstate 80 at mile-marker 103.4 around 9:26 a.m. Friday when all the vehicles experienced a white-out condition, which caused a 2002 Peterbilt driven by Ricky L. Odell, 55, Lowell, Ohio, to jackknife across both westbound lanes, causing the multiple-vehicle crash.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Whenever one team appeared to put a stronghold on Friday night's girls' basketball game, the other squad was ready to make a run.
After a 9-0 run put Punxsy ahead 21-13 during the second quarter, Bradford's 21-2 surge during the next 10 minutes helped the Lady Owls leap ahead 34-23.
What followed was the Lady Chucks' game-ending 25-9 burst during a 48-43 victory.
BRADFORD ŌĆö The Punxsy boys' basketball team held Bradford under 50 points, and junior Logan Weaver scored 17 points, but the Chucks couldn't score as a team during a 44-27 loss to the Owls Friday night.
The Chucks (4-8, 0-5 District IX League) trailed 18-15 at halftime before being outscored 26-12 during the second half of another league defeat.
Bradford improved 5-10 overall and 1-3 in the league.
Weaver had 12 of Punxsy's 15 first-half points. He added 11 rebounds (four offensive) for the double-double.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Rossiter resident Lisa Campbell and her fiance didnŌĆÖt expect to meet a future TV star on their summer vacation to Mexico.
But by what Campbell terms ŌĆ£just a fluke,ŌĆØ the duo did just that, encountering the unexpected.
While on a retreat at the Iberostar Paraiso del Mar resort in Rivera Maya, Campbell unsuspectingly struck up a casual conversation with a young woman accompanied by her father.
Little did Campbell know that her shoot-the-breeze companion, Lindsay Hill, would be a future contestant on season 15 of ABCŌĆÖs television series ŌĆ£The Bachelor.ŌĆØ

Thoughts, thoughts, and more thoughts: UNC owned Clemson from the opening tip. Thankfully Clemson can block shots, otherwise the Heels would have won by 40. Even decent basketball fans have probably never heard of anybody on Clemson. The same can be said for Air Force, but every other team has a name player or a guy whose gotten some pub during the season (like Aj Graves on Butler.) This isn't necessarily a bad thing though. Good stories about how hard UNC's practice was after losing to Va Tech. That practice was probably better than just about any game you'll ever see.
Tyler Hansbrough's still putting up good numbers, but I get the sense his draft stock is dropping just about every week. Every time he shoots the ball from his waist, you can see a scout cringing.

MEDFORD, Ore. — A southern Oregon school is stepping up to help a family who lost their home to a fire Thanksgiving night.
The fire happened on the 3 thousand block of Mallard Lane in Medford. The McFarland family escaped safely with their pet. Since then, Madrone Trail Public Charter School set up a fund to help the family. The family's two kids go to the school. Staff members helped with laundry and provided some clothes.
The homeowner tells NewsWatch 12, she is grateful for the support from neighbors and the school's help so far.
"We don't have any places to store anything right now. When we get a house that will change but we feel like we're on a very primitive…food, clothing, food clothing that's all we need at the moment," explained Sherri McFarland.
If you would like to help the McFarland's, contact the school at 3070 Ross Lane Central Point, OR 97502. The phone number is: 541-842-3657

Amy Winehouse is Getting Hitched in Miami
As big Amy Winehouse fans, we're a bit concerned about the impending nuptuals. If all goes well, perhaps the Winehouse will evolve into a Mary J. Blige role and start singing about the beauty of her romance. If it doesn't, we can look forward to Back to Black, redux. After all, Fielder-Civil is the bloke she wrote so many of those heartwrenching songs about in the first place. Either way, welcome to the Magic City, Amy! Our fingers are crossed for you. Here's hoping that your marriage turns out to be as charmed as your career has been so far. --Patrice Yursik

I recently came across this article and thought it was important to share.
We are all aware that taking in too much salt can lead to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and it has been linked to asthma, kidney stones and osteoporosis.
Within the article, written by Bottom Line's Daily Health News highlights six of our favorite foods that have hidden salt:
The AHA recommends that all Americans keep their salt intake to less than 1,500 mg per day—less than half of the current average intake of about 3,400 mg per day. To achieve that, watch out for…

Thanks for this info Michelle!
I was also surprised at the salt content in pasta sauces - it's huge! Same with processed freezer dinners.The good thing about soup is that there are low-salt options.
I wasn't aware of bread though so I will check that out. I only eat gluten free now so I hope it's not high in salt or I'm out of luck and I love bread!
I think it's also a good idea to drink plenty of fresh water with meals to help dilute the salt content.
Thanks again!

The beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, termed the Beatitudes, is located in Matthew 5:1-10. These wise sayings of Jesus are pithy, and at times we struggle to get the real meaning of the statements. For instance, in Matthew 5:5, it says: "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." Jesus tells us that meekness is a quality of Christ. They provide many insights in how to live our life.

"Preach the gospel at all times. Use words if necessary."
By Charlene M. Jett We had a good meeting Monday, with FAYCO and Vandalia Rehabilitation attending. We missed our Fayette County Hospital Long Term Care friends. And on a more serious note, we REALLY missed Judy and Bob Varga, and Katy (in hospital) and Randy Schukar, plus we missed Jeannie Schlicht, who is with Wolf in the hospital in Springfield. As we shared our refreshments, we tried to catch up with everyone's happenings. Phyllis Rames put it this way – trying to get everything back to normal! Lord, we are trying!
'Sons of the Father' to perform Sunday

Monday was Memorial Day – a day off work for many and no school for the kids. Even the YMCA was closed, so we all had an excuse to be lazy. And now that Memorial Day is over, our thoughts shift to the approaching summer.
By Joyce Mueller The recent changes Mother Nature provided for us this last week can probably be remembered for some time. But we are still in the month of the Emerald – the rich green birthstone that depicts the landscape of colorful flowers and trees. This time of year also brings special occasions, which includes: graduation, weddings and community activities.
Liberty Christian to host singers June 8

The Williamsons to perform in Bethalto
I still believe in miracles. It may not be popular in our day and it is certainly not expected in our churches, but nothing is impossible with God. Miracles are supernatural occurrences. They are either divine intervention, interrupting of natural laws, or they are laws known only to God.
Vandalia Community High School students presented a Baccalaureate service last Wednesday evening.
Participating in the program were students Karlee Brimberry, Levi Kinkead, Arika Craig, Jaden Evans, Melissa Davis, Megan Dothager, David Zimmerman and Kate Shields. The Rev. John Glennon was the speaker and VCHS teacher Doug Forbes said the closing prayer. Shown in the above picture are, from left, Kristyn Nichols, Brandy Protz, Shields, Zimmerman and Justin Johnson.

I was toying around with the idea of uploading a fair number of my examples/demos but upon reviewing the membership features, it looks like I would have to actually renew my membership fees to freely share stuff with others via the hub. I don't see myself renewing just to share stuff at this point.
Am I reading into that correctly or will I be able to upload examples/libraries when my membership runs out?

Reno budget praised; treasurer is not
Published on -8/14/2014, 11:47 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By Tim Schrag
The Hutchinson News
Though few people attended Wednesday night's Reno County public session on the 2015 budget, the five in attendance, including Commissioners Dan Deming and James Schlickau, seemed to agree on one thing: County Administrator Gary Meagher did an excellent job drafting the budget.
Two sore spots that came up during an open period were why money had to be budgeted for an accounting specialist to aid the county treasurer and why property taxes were so high.
Deming said he felt this was very telling of both Meagher's skills and Reno County Treasurer Jan Hull's lack thereof.
"I hope that position can disappear the next time we elect a treasurer," he said. "We're adding it because the treasurer can't do her job. Hopefully the next time around we'll elect a competent treasurer to do the job and we won't have to pay another $15,000 or $16,000 for an auditor. "
Aside from the criticism of the treasurer's office, Deming said the visible support from constituents at the session was encouraging as the county moves forward with budgetary proceedings.
Meagher led a discussion about the proposed budget which has a projected mill levy of 39.603, which is an increase of a single mill to create a special fund to help repair the 600 miles of paved roads the county currently oversees. The extra mill would add another $550,000.
The total proposed $57.5 million budget includes adding new positions, but will be accomplished, Meagher said, through trimming other departmental budgets and through growth in the value of property.
New positions include an accounting specialist/internal auditor joining the county administrator's staff, a clerk in the maintenance department, four new employees for the jail and contracting with the city's E-911 director to head Emergency Management for up to a year.
Additionally, the budget calls for a step increase in pay for all eligible county employees and a 1 percent cost-of-living adjustment.
"It takes a lot of people to do this; the commission has been very good about providing guidance," Meagher said. "They really do listen to the people in making their decisions."
The commission will meet on Aug. 20 at 9 a.m. in the Reno County Commission chambers for a hearing to move forward with the proposed budget. Meagher said at that point the budget amount can only decrease without starting over. He added his office can be contacted in regard to questions about the budget or to view the proposed budget prior to this meeting. Detailed information about the budget is also available in the county clerk's office.

WCN quicklink >> Team FRW for GP Carnevale Team FRW - Giro del Trentino Team FRW - Flanders & Drenthe Team FRW honoured by Forli Team FRW ready for Geelong Bike presentation Team Presentation Team 2006 Track World Cup Results Bronzini to ride track for Italy |
Team FRW announces 2006 line up Bronzini and Vzesnaiuskaite at head of affairs Less than two months before the beginning of their 2006 campaign, Team FRW has released its final line-up. Starting in Geelong, Australia, firstly for the Tour, then for the World Cup which follows, the team will be focussing upon both Tours and World Cup races. Sprinter, Giorgia Bronzini will be aiming for wins with what Team FRW calls her 'explosive sprint' and which gained her 12 wins in 2005. For the World Cup and one day races, the team will be looking for performances from Modesta Vzesniauskaite, who they identify as a rider who will reach new heights in 2006. Also important in the gameplan, is Martina Armor, who is in her fourth year with the team. She comes from Romagna and is noted as one of the "veterans" of the squad. Her 'palmeres' includes a Junior World Championships medal from 1996 and an Italian title from 1997. In 2005, she took third place in a stage of the Gracia Tour and a long list of placing. Experience and enthusiasm are characteristics of Kettj Manfrin, who rides both road and track and who was fifth in the Italian 500m TT and sixth in the Points Race in 2005. Another rider who will be mixing road and track is Laura Pisaneschi. In 2003, she took the Points Race and in 2004, a bronze medal in the TT. Nina Ovcharenco is a Ukrainian who made her debut in Italy in 2004. She took second place in the GP St Marino and took several placings in 2005.The other members of the team are Italian, Ombretta Ugolini, Lithuanian Indre Januleviciute and Ukrainian, Tetyana Petrovna.

Steam Engine in Reduced Pressure
Name: CJ Status: student Grade: 9-12 Country: South Africa Date: Winter 2011-2012
Since water can boil at lower temperatures by lowering atmospheric pressure, will it be possible to build and sustain a steam engine at the lower boiling point of water?
Yes, but such an engine's maximum horsepower output is reduced in proportion to the pressure, typically.
Jim Swenson
Andy - It is definitely "possible", but almost never practical enough to be worth doing.
The one real-life example I can think of is: the through-the-car-window antennas for cell-phones, GPS, etc. These have a cable from the transmitter box, carrying about 1-to-10 Watts of RF current, to a patch stuck to the inside of the window. At the same spot but on the outside face of the glass, is a similar patch which picks up the power radiated by the first patch, and a second length of cable running to a roof-top antenna. Notice that the wireless gap is only 0.5 cm, but the width of the patch is ~5 cm. Also, the freespace wavelength at that frequency is only 4-10 times the 5 cm size of the patch.
So I am sure it is possible to jump power across a 10-meter-wide street by having antenna-fences about 100-meters long and 30-meters high on both sides, and it also requires changing the 50 Hz to ( lightspeed / 1000_meters ) = 300 kHz. Which is fairly expensive to do for many kilowatts, but we are getting to where it might be affordable.
But then it would be a poor idea to have unprotected pedestrians walking in that section of that street. The electric fields would be pretty high. I think 300 kHz is a typical frequency for a Tesla coil . . .
It is conceivable to do a better-contained job by converting the kilowatts of power from 50 Hz to microwave frequencies, say 10 GHz, and beaming it from one parabolic dish antenna to another. Then the dangerous energy would only fill the space between the two 2-meter wide dishes, probably elevated well above everybody's head.. At the receiving end it would have to be converted back to 50Hz. So far, our best electronics can do all this with maybe 60% efficiency.
So it would waste half the power, get real hot, not last long, be extremely expensive, and leak very strong electromagnetic pollution.
Same story with lasers. Our best laser so far is maybe 40% efficient. And the solar-cells we would have to use to change the light back to electricity would loose some too. I think they might be 80% efficient if the laser wavelength matched the solar-cell bandgap exactly. Probably worse than that, in practice. The good thing about lasers is that the light-waves can be blocked by most solid objects. They do not sneak out and go everywhere like radio waves and electromagnetic pollution.
I think somebody will invent a 10-cm-diameter tungsten-carbide tunnel-drilling snake first, complete with eyes, ultrasonics, metal-detectors, etc.. Then maybe one could get that street crossed with a wire at reasonable cost.
Some engineering minds would really love to be able to beam power down from giant solar stations in space. But we are not yet starting a "space-power program", because we cannot do a good job of beaming power yet.
Jim Swenson
Yes. A steam engine could be operated at lower pressure, resulting in a lower temperature and energy content of the steam.
Hope this helps, Burr Zimmerman

You Made It Weird #34: Nikki Glaser
By Katie Levine on March 23, 2012
Nikki Glaser (Last Comic Standing, You Had To Be There podcast) is one of the best, funniest and most interesting comedians we've had on to make it weird. Good Lord, it gets weird. I'm not just saying that. This one goes some places that made Pete's face all flushed. And we left it in. Because that's what we do. Incredible episode. Please enjoy!

I hope you two date. Yin and Yang. Great freaking episode. I could listen to the two of you all day and never lose interest. YOU WENT DEEP!
I hope you don't have to deal with creepy commenters suggesting who you should date. Especially when they say "you went deep" in all-caps. Weirdo does not mean creepjob, AJ.
I hope you don't have to deal with people saying they "I hope you don't have to deal with creepy commenters suggesting who you should date. Especially when they say 'you went deep' in all-caps.". That would be weird.
After re-reading my post I stand by my statement. I cannot abide this! Concerned hater: you, sir or madam are an oxymoron! When I hear two people I like connect, I immediately hope that they make babies together thus creating more people I like. If this is wrong then I don't wanna be right! Make it WEIRD!!
Here at You made it weird, we have hand guns.
Thank you.
I'm pretty sure it was malcom gladwell who said "the cold grey line of people that know neither victory nor defeat or something"
You Hade To Be There To Make It Weird, yeah that's a podcast title mash up, wanna fight about it?
Haven't listen yet but how could it not be great…
I was the opening with the "Herpes/Slurpees" joke. =)
Wha…………….t just happened?
I feel like both Freuds junk punched me while Durkheim the Nogoodnik just giggled. And then it was also hilarious. And your parent issues and semi-alcoholism made me feel better about my mild panic attacks and addictive personality. It got real weird. You had me feeling things, guys.
Congratulations for making it very weird this episode.
Really digging this Keeping it Crusty with Pat Helms podcast.
Lots of laughs and watching Pat go through what most of us went through in college is very fun. Frankly I still enjoy talking about that stuff many years later even though it seems no new ground is ever gained!
Jesus fuck, i shouldn't have listened to this. Sex Nerd Sandra… on steroids…. and shame. Man oh man.
Weird is what was made this episode.
Some of the things shared in this episode reminded me of an old psychology teacher of mine. Except for "What if your dad said it was okay?" That was pure Holmes!
The comic folksinger Henry Phillips stars in this wry, poignant, smartly satirical comedy as himself, and puts himself into uneasy situations in which he doesn't always come out as the hero. http://bit.ly/GDYGvu
I know that there was a lot of weird sex talk in this episode, including some "I was late to start" talk. I'm new to these forums, but what would you say is waaay late to start having sex? I guarantee I'm above it (he said depressingly).
Pete! Excellent 'sode! How did you fuckers lay my own psyche bare with this! Slowly turning my skim to cream! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Don't EVER stop!
? not ! Whoops!
Thanks everyone!! I told you it was one of my FAVs!!
Great episode. Your podcast is better than therapy. To hear the different perspectives on sex and relationships that you bring up is helping me more than anything with my own issues. Thank you for making it wierd.
Nikki Glaser never fails to make me laugh my ass off, this and her Walking the Room ep are delightful.
Also Pete please do the Mutant Season podcast!
It sounds like Native American's souls are a thicker milkshake
Listening to this episode was a bit like being the third wheel in a threesome. "Hold the flashlight higher, Josh." "Yeah, just keep holding that flashlight, Josh."
Such a weird episode! Awesomely weird. Chris Hardwick might want to check if he got knocked up during his cameo. Seriously.
Heh heh, "Hardwick".
Keep on keeping it crispy Pete!
Thank you so much weirdo!!! Love ALL you do!
Holy shit that was weird . . . . LOVED IT
Thanks for sharing your relationship silver bullet with us, Pete. I'm absolutely going to make use of that in the future.
I apologize in advance for this way-too-long-to-be-blog-comment comment. First of, love the show, I discovered it via a mention on Extra Hot Great and it has turned me into a total comedy nerd.
1. I am an English teacher in the economic wasteland of southern Europe, teaching English to immigrants who need to learn it in order to feed their kids and live a semi-stable life (not in the same universe of bad as the 13-year-old ipod slaves, but lots of downward spiral potential nonetheless).
I totally relate to your 'inside baseball' stuff. I think adult-ed type classes follow an arc similar to a comedy set–especially where a strong close is concerned. I love my students so much, and feel so personally invested in their success that the feeling after a great lesson where everyone's engaged, confident and has obviously left the classroom with something they didn't have before they arrived–I could seriously pirouette home. Ditto the onset of the sads for the opposite situation.
2. I had no idea childless people could identify that change of focus from babying the husband to babying the baby that happens when a kid comes around. I hold out some hope that that returns once there are no longer kids in the house sucking every drop from our souls. Rewarding.
3. You ain't seen Oedipussy complex til' you've seen it in Mediterranean lands where nobody moves out of mommy's house until they are married. 99% of my conversations with my mother-in-law revolve around how beautiful, tall, brilliant and what a great provider my husband/her son is. It is excruciating. She looooves talking about how his shoes always look bad because he can never find his size here because his feet are so big. The day will come when she asks me about his oral sex skills, of this I am horrifically sure.
(OMG, so long..I tried to find an email address, I swear)
Fucking killed it.
Probably the best episode yet. It was even weirder than these insanely weird comments would lead you to believe. The Oedipal/Electra Complex talk plus Pete's weird, half-assed, quasi proposition at the end was the perfect crescendo. -
I just heard the podcast. It was great but I don't get why people think they should date when they totally looked like friends unless it's the type of person that thinks automatically of any male/female friendship as something romantic. Besides I would think Nikki Glaser would get tired of taking about Chelsea Peretti.
[…] Nikki Glaser episode of You made it Weird with Pete Holmes Supremely funny comedy podcast hosted by Pete Holmes is especially funny with guest Nikki Glaser. […]
Great episode. You mentioned a Myq Kaplan episode that would have probably come out already. I hope you are holding it so you can add an addendum with those questions you wanted to ask!
[…] Nikki Glaser episode of You made it Weird with Pete Holmes Supremely funny comedy podcast hosted by Pete Holmes is especially funny with guest Nikki Glaser. You Made It Weird is also a good podcast that is like a diary into Pete Holmes' life and way of being. It is completely funny and thought provoking and I just feel like all of the humans should know about this podcast. […]
Pete, you rock! Just wanted to let you know that the episode of This American Life was retracted because Mike Daisy totally made the worst of his story up. Ira Glass was pissed. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/460/retraction
And I really don't know if there possibly enough comedian podcasts to fill my day…don't quit! -
That was amazing. I read the comments before the show and was excited to see how weird weird could get. You took it to new levels, Pete. Nicely done.
Hey Pete, this is a great conversation. This is deep and funny stuff. Thanks and keep it up.
First episode I heard, I'm in love with Pete. The honesty radiates through the earbuds and into my soul. Very happy I get to hear a bunch more of this wonderful treat from here unto eternity. Thanks for being cool.
hey pete……….YOU FUCKING HIT THAT SHIT!!
I'm very slowly working my way through the archives, and I feel compelled to say that this was a really amazing episode. Made me reconsider some things I've been having trouble with.
So thanks for that.
"When a girl is- the girl-version of hard down there."
Pete…. what even -
This episode is one of my new favorites. I love that Nikki's perspectives in the sex talk were so refreshingly honest and, for lack of a better word, "normal" (to me at least)… it's so common for female comics to be overly raunchy and honest in the oversharing sort of way, but it's great to hear a relatable viewpoint that falls in the middle of prudish and superfreak.
Also – Rainforest Cafe – brilliant. Haha!

The Daily Gambling Fix 2/12/10 – Jessica
Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: Montreal Canadiens @ Philadelphia Flyers
The Pick: Montreal Canadiens
The Reason: The Canadiens have played remarkably well at the Wachovia Center recently, having won six straight and earning a point in their last 9 (8-0-1) in Philly. Montreal is also an impressive 14-2-1 against the Flyers over the past few seasons and for those two reasons, we like them to come up victorious tonight.
The Game: Rookies vs. Sophomores
The Pick: Sophomores
The Reason: The sophomores are on a 7 game winning streak and have won 8 out of 10 since the format was changed to first year versus second year players. We like this trend to continue tonight and feel that the Sophomores on the money line is a pretty safe bet.
Overall Record: (312-221-4) – Winning Percentage (0.55)

Unlike wimpy white bread, stone-ground whole wheat has the body to stand up to a milk and egg bath without disintegrating. So there's no need to remember to dry out the bread beforehand as with regular French toast.Submitted by: EARTHDROPLET

This is the best make ahead brunch food! I make it Christmas Eve and pop it in the oven while we're opening gifts. While it sets, I heat up some canadian bacon, cook up some egg beaters and cheese, put out a fruit bowl and it's a fabulous brunch in about 15 minutes!Submitted by: MAMABEAN37

Waffles from a french toast recipe - an idea my 8 year old dreamed up and works like a charm! This recipe makes 6 waffles. Nutrition calculated on one waffle each. Combined with yogurt or fruit this makes a delicious breakfast!Submitted by: LYNAT529
This has the taast of french toast. Goal is to yield 8 crepes, but that seems pretty tricky and time consuming to accomplish without correct tools (skills?). I aim for 2-4 pancakes. Pretty tasty and filling. Still need your veggies though.Submitted by: THESPY75

Sacha Parkinson is to reportedly signed a Coronation Street deal to keep her in the show until 2011.
The actress plays Sian Powers in the Weatherfield drama and is apparently to sign the new contract following the popularity of her character's lesbian storyline with Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent).
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "Sacha has been negotiating a new deal and is due to sign as soon as the [tram] crash scenes have been sorted.
"She's storylined well into next year and is one of the soap's most popular young actresses."
They added: "There will be lots of twists and turns over the next few months as their relationship continues and life throws a number of things at both of them.
"By bringing in a few more lesbians it's only going to further spice things up. Everyone is very excited about it all."
Meanwhile, Sally Dynevor, who plays Sophie's mum Sally Webster, has said she was pleased her character is sticking by her daughter.
She told RTE: "I think Sally was really shocked.
"I think what she thought was a lesbian wasn't her daughter and I love that about the story, because so many lesbians that I've talked to have said that they've had exactly the same conversation with their mother."
Dynevor continued: "But I love the fact that now she's supporting them. As soon as somebody criticises she's there!"
