Mother charged with murder after Akron toddler dies from meth overdose
3 others also charged in death of 17-month-old boy
AKRON, Ohio - An Akron mother is charged with murder after her 17-month-old son died from a methamphetamine overdose. Three men are also facing charges for the toddler's death, which stunned people living in Akron's Goodyear Heights neighborhood.
Akron police said Heather Lerch, 20, and Ronald Legg, 22, were charged with murder and felony child endangering.
Randy Legg, 19, and Allen Kostra, 24, were charged with manslaughter.
Patrick Lerch was found unresponsive in his crib Feb. 26 at a home on St. Leger Avenue.
The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office said the cause of death for Patrick was "methamphetamine toxicity." The medical examiner said Patrick ingested methamphetamine during a period of abuse and neglect.
The toddler was taken to Akron Children's Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 11:17 p.m. on Feb. 26.
"The child got the ultimate sentence of death for something that was out of his control," Lt. Rick Edwards said.
Police said chemicals, bottles and other meth-making materials were found in the basement of the home.
In February, Lerch was arrested on multiple felony charges related to the meth lab, including child endangering and illegal assembly of chemicals. The Legg brothers and Kostra were arrested on the same charges.
Kimberly and Daniel Clark, of Barberton, are distant relatives of Lerch and allowed the mother and toddler to stay in their home for three months so they wouldn't have to live in a shelter. News of the meth overdose ruling brought Kimberly to tears. She was so upset that she had to leave work on Friday.
"I'm just devastated. He was the sweetest baby you'd ever want to meet," Kimberly said.
Kimberly said Lerch wasn't a good mother and had to be reminded to feed and bathe Patrick. When asked if Lerch was abusive, Kimberly said, "Just neglectful and not there."
Kimberly called Barberton police in January concerned that Patrick had a black eye after a visit to the Akron home on St. Leger.
"I had Barberton police out here and they didn't feel it was necessary to make a report or anything," Kimberly said.
On Friday, Barberton police released a call for service report from January 30. The officer wrote, "Heather Lerch spent the weekend with... boyfriend and the child fell on a toy. No obvious signs of abuse were found on the child's body and the child did not seem malnourished."
Kimberly said on February 13, Heather decided to move into the St. Leger home. Less than two weeks later, the toddler with sandy blond hair and brown eyes was dead.
"I thought the shock was over, but after hearing that he ingested meth, it's just icing on the cake," Daniel said.
"I want to see her get the full punishment of the law," Kimberly added.
The four suspects were in court Monday on drug charges. They're being held in the Summit County Jail.

X Factor star Kye Sones has reportedly set up a date with former Dancing on Ice star Emily Atack.
The singer allegedly asked out the Inbetweeners actress after meeting her backstage during The Xtra Factor.
The pair met in Caroline Flack's dressing room and after exchanging telephone numbers have reportedly arranged a date for next week.
A source told The Sun: "When Kye saw Emily his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
"He has always fancied her but never imagined he'd get to be in the same room as her.
"And it turned out she has a soft spot for him so they got on like a house on fire."
Sones finished with his girlfriend American beauty editor Halle Carlson before the Boot Camp stage of the show.
Meanwhile, Sones and Christopher Maloney are the only two contestants left in Gary Barlow's Overs category.

montage of a lovelife
have you ever put it all on the line and said the thing you have needed to say, that you've not been able to say for a long time, and you don't know if there is a next bit. well picture this poet dear reader, having done just that. if you've had a time in your life when you have found your rubicon you'll know what i mean. can't say more, and the poems that will flow i think are just for the notebook, some things are just for ourselves, and lots of my current writing is just for me, strange that, I'm so used to writing for publication but at present I'm my own reader.. just trying to make sense i guess.
may all be well

A Day by the sea discussing a major set of ideas for a poetry work. all looks like it will go ahead, but can't say more until April when we will know if there is money to do this. The sea was like a boiling cauldron splashing into the road.

write because you have to
'you write because you have to. If you rationalize it, it seems as if you've seen this sight, felt this feeling, had this vision, and have got to find a combination of words that will preserve it by setting it off in other people. The duty is to the original experience. It doesn't feel like self-expression, though it may look like it.'

Keeping The Eye
Originally uploaded by John Siddique
I take a lot of photos as a way of being creative outside of writing, sometimes I need to do other stuff so that the words can fill up inside me, and taking pics is one of favourite things for this, as it keeps my poetic eye sharp but bypasses the language centres in my body.
This is my dear friend rachel who has been visiting the last few days, we spent saturday afternoon shooting her using my nikon with it's trusty 50mm prime lens.. I like this pic of her as it shows many sides of her personality at once, and is very beautiful at the same time.
There was a great storm at 5 or 6 am, i got up to watch and listen.. I ended up writing in my diary..
'It has been a very rainy night, the wind is blowing high and far up in the sky so that it is calm on the ground, but everything is filled with a rushing that gets into the spine like a suspicion that there is someone behind you. Occasionally there are large gusts down at the lower levels, which buffet you and keep you unsettled in your skin.'

re re restart
I've needed a bit of time off from the book for family matters of late, the search for my father goes on, and yes I'm keeping good notes, and am thinking of writing it all up at some point. But not writing and having to attend to personal matters leaves me feeling like something is missing, a pressure builds up that causes all sorts of bad behaviour in me, yes it can get very rock n'roll if i don't work, so it's a bloody relief to see the steam pressure guage go down.
now to rebuild a good routine for the year, incorporating
morning pages
creation of chapter notes
the writing itself
keeping my hand in with poetry
and admin in the afternoons
and out to do something other of an evening
need all this stuff in place, as well as incorporating my teaching work and readings into the schedule.
one word, then the next word..
okay I get it..

Taxation bill involving livestock successful
On Wednesday, the House debated a taxation bill that would create a tax deduction for the net gain from the sale of certain livestock and also would reinstate two tax credits for expenditures spent on a dwelling or facility in order to make them accessible for persons with disabilities.
The bill that passed the House would create an income tax deduction from federal adjusted gross income in determining Kansas adjusted gross income for the net gain of the sale of any cattle or horses. However, these livestock are to be used for draft, breeding, dairy or sporting purposes and must have been held by the taxpayer for 24 or more months from the date the livestock was acquired. The bill also will create the same deduction for livestock, for the same purposes, for 12 months or more from the date acquired. However, this deduction would be limited to the amount of losses reported on certain lines and schedules on the federal tax form.
The bill also reinstates, with retroactivity to tax year 2013, an individual income tax credit repealed in 2012. The tax credit, under certain circumstances, will reimburse a portion of costs incurred when modifying a principal residence to make it more accessible to individuals with disabilities.
This bill passed the House in final action Thursday, 123-0.
* The Kansas House voted on House Bill 2475, which would require all accredited high schools in Kansas to provide a course on financial literacy for junior and senior classes. For these grades, the financial literacy course of instruction would include the following financial matters: saving and investing; credit and debt; financial responsibility and money management; and insurance, risk management and income. In addition, the state board of education would be required to develop curriculum standards for personal financial literacy in grades K-10 within the existing mathematics curriculum or another appropriate subject matter. The bill now goes to the Senate after passing the House, 110-12.
* On Thursday, the House debated a bill regarding the existing statute of the Kansas No-Call Act that now would permit mobile telephone numbers to be added to the no-call list. Another provision of the bill would be the Kansas No-Call List would be updated every 30 days and not as in current law, which states every quarter. Also, individuals with an established business relationship with the solicitor would be able to request the solicitor refrain from calling. The solicitor would be required to honor that request for the period of five years.
Rep. Troy L. Waymaster, R-Luray, represents the 109th House District, which includes portions of Smith, Osborne, Russell and Rush counties.

This is so sad. Elliot Rodger's parents, Peter and Chin Rodger, are 'absolutely crippled by grief' after the UCSB massacre, and they are foremost upset for the families of the slain more so than the death of their son.
After posting a video on YouTube in which 22-year-old Elliot Rodger says, "I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me. But I will punish you all for it," he went on to murder six people and injure 13 others. His parents, Peter Rodger and Chin Rodger, are "absolutely crippled by grief," according to family friend and author Simon Astaire, according to MailOnline, and their concern is not for their own son but for the families of the victims affected by this horrible tragedy.
Elliot Rodger's Parents, Peter & Rodger Chin, Are 'Crippled By Grief' And 'Distraught'
Peter and Chin, along with Peter's wife and Elliot's stepmother, Soumaya Akaaboune, can "hardly get a sentence out," MailOnline is reporting. "They are absolutely crippled by grief. I know them very well and it is incredibly hard to be in their company, because they are so distraught. It is hard to be near them because they are so devastated," Simon continued.
Simon added that Elliot's family "are grieving for those who've lost their lives before their own son. They really are, that's where they are. I can't imagine the confusion there must be in that. … They are mortified."
About Elliot, Simon revealed that "He was painfully shy, couldn't look at you straight in the eye and looked at your feet. It was unbearable. If you asked me last week I would have said he was one of the most reserved, self-contained guys you could ever meet.
Elliot Rodger Was 'A Figure Of Solitude'
"I remember a couple of Christmases ago I was having dinner with them. I went outside for a breather and there was Elliot, on his own and he was the loneliest figure I think I have ever seen.
"I remember thinking at the time, he was totally alone, a figure of solitude. I apologized and asked if I was interrupting and walked away. He was that kind of shy guy who you never talked to because he was so on his own you felt you were intruding even asking him a question."
This story is so tragic. Our continued thoughts are with Rodger's family and the families of the victims affected by the tragic Isla Vista massacre.

Agree with Jon's comment add agree with me's comment, reasons:
That is because Elliot's affect his emotion with his stepmother (Soumaya), his father (Peter) and his mother (Li Chen). The problem Li Chen never told true about they are divorce.
They are not fully aware what they are bad to treat him, make him feel uncomfortable society. Eg: Li Chen was very stupid woman because she treat him not very well, like relived word is not nice communicate such her face expression: "irritable ". For instance Chinese parents are often shouting at their girl or disabled child. In add, she does not think herself and not enough to discuss with him before happen.
Soumaya should not push him a hard force about his computer and instructive what she gave him "rule" her house that she is not have right because she is not care think how bad her evolution self.
Autism fact is not violence self. Autism is frightened person, will not able to join with other children etc mismatch Elliot's personal.
Elliot had sensitive person, angry and shy, it possible he has physiotherapy is affect by his stepmother who argue with him, aggressive each other, Li Chen annoy and bad communicate like poor attitude as she said: "Georgia chose this large room I offer." That is happen he killed innocent students.

It's obvious they didn't give a crap about their own kid.The body language in that picture is that he is alone his own dad is not hugging him and his brother is as far away from him as possible.Maybe if his mom and dad had been a little more concerned and not treated the kid the way they did because he had Asperger's he wouldn't have gone on that rampage.The signs were all there he had been ranting about revenge on YouTube for a while and nobody cared then now all of a sudden they are grieving for other parent's kid's when they knew he was going off the deep end.These parent's didn't even call the cops when he left them a handwritten note telling them what he was going to do.

Hi all,
Right so I have focus Tdci and it keeps cutting out.
I will be happily driving along when the engine will stop and the glow plug light flashes at me.
If I try and start it back up straight away then it tries to start but just cant quite manage it, but if I leave it 5 mins then it starts like there was never a problem.
I have checked for error codes and get a 9359 and a 9318 (although this one is new and might just be from were a used up battery power the last time it cutout)
Any ideas you might have would be appreciated

Defrag'll rock
Defrag disk drives daily and diligently with this system-upper.
Windows' built-in Disk Defragmenter does a pretty good job keeping your hard disks tidy, but it has limitations. To really squeeze every bit of performance and capacity out of your hard drives, USB drives, and other storage devices, you can turn to a specialized third-party app that picks up where Windows' standard defragmenter leaves off. ZoneLink's SystemUp Defrag is just such a tool. It uses proprietary defragmentation technology, including a three-zone optimization algorithm, eight different optimization methods, and automatic background defragmenting, to not only defragment your drives but also prevent them from being refragmented.
SystemUp Defrag's slick, competent interface is typical of disk maintenance utilities and system cleaners, and it's more attractive than most, with clearly labeled functions and a prominent Help Center icon on the Taskbar. In addition to standard options like fast or deep scan, SystemUp has lots of useful extras, such as the ability to set specific start and end times for defrag sessions, choose parallel or sequential defragmentation, and adjust settings to handle "space hogs" on your disks. You can also set the program to regularly defragment your disks, but only if they need it. SystemUp's best feature is the good old graphical progress display with its colorful data clusters, last seen in XP and MIA in Vista and 7. SystemUp even improves that old favorite with new options.
SystemUp Defrag is limited to a 14-day trial; the registered version costs $39.95. It works in all versions of Windows up to Vista, but not yet in Windows 7.

And he was king and many horsemen rode in front of his carriage, and there were also horsemen behind his carriage and a golden parasol was held over his head, and the sun shone hot rays and scorched the earth so that the grass shoots withered. And the king complained that the sun burned his face and that it excelled him in power and he was not content. He sighed and cried, "I wish to be the sun." And the angel came and he said, "You are what you have said."
And he was the sun and he directed his rays upward and down, to the right and to the left - everywhere - and he scorched the grass shoots on earth, and the countenances of kings who were on earth.
And a cloud placed itself between him and the earth, and the rays of the sun bounced back from it and he grew wrathful that his power was resisted. He complained that the cloud excelled him in power and he was not content. He wished to be the cloud, which was so powerful, and the angel came and he said, "You are what you have said."
And he became a cloud and placed himself between the sun and the earth and caught the rays so that the grass grew green. The cloud rained large drops on the earth causing the rivers to swell and floods to carry the houses away, and he destroyed the fields with much water. He fell upon a rock which did not yield, and he splashed in great streams, but the rock did not yield, and he grew wrathful because the rock was not yielding to his power, and the power of his streams was in vain and he was not content.
He cried, "That rock has been given power which excels mine. I wish to be the rock." And the angel came and he was the rock, he did become the rock, and did not move when the sun shone nor when it rained.
And then there was a man with a pick and with a chisel and with a heavy hammer, and he hewed stones out of the rock and the rock said, "How can it be that this man has power that excels mine and hews stones out of my lap?" and he was not content.
He cried, "I am weaker than he. I wish to be that man." And the angel came from heaven, saying, "You are what you have said."
And he was a stone-cutter again. And he hewed stones from the rock with hard labor, and he labored very hard for small wages - and he was content.
I don't agree with the conclusion. That is the only disagreement with the story; otherwise the story is beautiful. I don't agree with the conclusion. Because I know people - they cannot be so easily content. The wheel is complete. The story in a way has come to a natural end, but the real stories in life don't come to any natural end. The wheel again starts moving.
That's why in India we call life "the wheel." It goes on moving, goes on repeating itself. As far as I can see, unless the stone-cutter became a buddha, the story must have been repeated again. Again he will become discontent. Again he will long for a beautiful couch and a cover of silk, and again the same thing will start. But if this stone-cutter was really content, then he has jumped out of the wheel of life and death. He has become a buddha.

Coalition vows to block PBS reform
PUBLISHED: 17 Nov 2010 12:44:03 | UPDATED: 17 Nov 2010 12:44:03PRINT EDITION: 17 Nov 2010
The Coalition has told the federal government it will block new medicine pricing arrangements designed to save taxpayers $1.9 billion in the Senate.
Under proposed changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, the price paid by the government to pharmacies for medicines would more closely reflect their market cost, which can be much cheaper than the currently listed prices.
The plan was unveiled in May, as part of a Memorandum of Understanding negotiated with the peak pharmaceutical body, Medicines Australia.
Health Minister Nicola Roxon on Wednesday said the MOU would save taxpayers about $1.9 billion over five years by extending price disclosure, because when prices drop through competition, the price the government pays for PBS medications falls too.
But opposition ageing spokeswoman Concetta Fierravanti-Wells told Parliament she was concerned Labor's proposal may compromise access to affordable, high quality medicines in the long-term.
"Significant price cuts without volume drivers under this measure may detrimentally affect the viability of the sector, which drives PBS savings for the government. These issues could have been avoided through better consultation and actual negotiation with all stakeholders."
Senator Fierravanti-Wells said the Opposition could not support the bill the way it stood.
"On this basis, the Coalition is not in a position to support the bill given the outstanding issues."
She moved amendments to the bill requiring the Medicines Australia agreement to be set aside and a new MOU developed in consultation with the Generic Medicines Industry Association of Australia, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the National Pharmaceutical Services Association.
Ms Roxon chastised the Opposition for refusing to support the draft laws.
"Right now, taxpayers are paying inflated prices for many medicines. These reforms will stop this waste and will help support the funding of new and innovative life saving medicines."
Ms Roxon said the changes would result in no extra cost to patients and pointed out that some people may even pay less.

It was quite an exciting day for six year old Elspeth "Beanie" Mar when she saved her choking friend Aniyah at lunch in the school cafeteria last week.
Both girls are first graders at Caroline Wenzel Elementary in Sacramento California. They are pictured to the right.
Schoolmate Anthony Roy Jr. first noticed that Aniyah was choking when he saw her panicking after swallowing an apple slice too quickly. Most of the kids at the table were shocked and panicked themselves, not knowing what to do with the exception of Beanie.
"They didn't know what to do, but I knew what [to do]," Beanie was quoted as saying in an interview with the media.
Beanie first saw the Heimlich being used to save someone on a TV show when she was younger. While the TV show didnt teach the bravery that Beanie showed, it did show her the basics of the skill, which she executed perfectly on Aniyah. One perfect use of the Heimlech dislodged the apple slice enabling Aniyah to breath again.
School principal Judy Montgomery was amazed to not only see a student use the Heimlich, but successfully and on the first attempt. "They say sometimes when you're afraid the adrenaline kicks in and you have power you don't know you have. She hit the sweet spot," Judy told the media.
Beanie has quite a future ahead of her after showing such bravery in a tense situation. She joins the ranks of heroic first graders like Neveah Llantada who helped her mother deliver her baby at home after their cell phone ran out of battery. Read that story here.
A certificate was awarded by principal Judy Montgomery to Beanie, Anthony, and Aniyah to remember the event. Good work, kids. Thanks to Sacramento News 10 for the original story and the picture. Read and watch the News 10 report of the event here.

Day traders - the elite of marketplace individuals, who buy and provide stocks, alternatives, commodities or currencies promptly in the course of the current market day, aiming for rapid and regular income. To these rapidly guns, reliable day investing indicators are their business' lifeblood.
How does the productive day trader make his or her indicators? It in all probability will not likely come as a surprise that there are as quite a few unique ways to producing these investing alerts as there are day traders. The exact same is genuine when looking at swing investing signals or other systems for getting into and exiting positions, but quite a few methods which make robust selections investing signals, forex investing signals, or stock marketplace indicators will be totally useless to the day trader.
Most notably, basic evaluation of businesses and their shares is almost solely pointless to the day trader. daytrading6636.com When it functions at all, FA focuses on massive concerns (equilibrium sheets, imbalances in macro-economic forces, or modifications in client developments) which take months or decades to perform out. From that standpoint, price motion which takes spot more than the class of minutes or hrs is almost nothing but sound and FA provides no insight into how to enter or exit a trade of this kind of short length.
Setting aside the glacial speed of elementary forces, how can we identify approaching moves in a stock which will supply true profit probable? There are 3 attempted-and-real angles we can technique this from
one) Structural scalping. In his book, "Day Trade On the net", Christopher Farrell did a very good occupation of speaking about this approach. Right here, the day trader is NOT hoping to forecast stock motion online trading in simple fact, he spends a great deal of time showing viewers how to Prevent stocks that transfer a lot! In spot of stock movement, this group of traders seem for stocks with a wholesome bid/question disperse and use that area to purchase low and promote high. Correct, higher and very low are only separated by a number of pennies, but when buying and selling countless numbers of shares at a time, this can include up. However, there have been a number of alterations in the market place place which make scalping significantly far more tricky than when Farrell revealed his guide relocating from eighths and sixteenths to pennies, and higher liquidity driving bid and ask closer jointly are two examples of how this has turn into more challenging. Even so, 'more difficult' and 'impossible' are not the very same factor, so forex news you may want to investigate this voie in advance of rejecting it.
2) Information shock. Pretty much just about every stock traded on the American bourses has a range of people today following its each up and down transfer. Individuals who adhere to and intimately fully grasp the functions of the company that issued the stock. These people today - mutual fund and hedge fund professionals, pension fund administrators, and beginner traders - have spent a major amount of time obtaining a deal with on particularly what type of outcomes to expect from that organization and its management. And just about every day at least some of individuals folks get a genuinely Massive shock. An unexpected law fit... greater than hoped for final results in a drug trial... one firm getting a different... each day, a handful of businesses will report something that completely alterations how cedar finance the current market seems at their shares.
The alert day trader, with the suitable broker and devices, can recognize and get gain of these systemic shocks. Upon finding a stock whose usually placid shares quickly sky-rocket or go into a tail spin, the nimble day trader can jump on board the motion and ride it right up until a new stability point is uncovered by market exercise. This kind of trading is very enjoyable - and as this kind of, it can be a bit harmful the current market participant who utilizes this exercise as a surrogate for a journey to Las Vegas will surely have some enjoyable, but will also almost as definitely get rid of a great deal of capital. Do not trade this way except if you have a strong perception of your personal motivation and that it does NOT incorporate heading for forex traders a thrill journey.
3) Technical Analysis. This will be the most accustomed to the standard trader wanting into day buying and selling. All the regular favorites can be utilized here relocating averages, MACD, RSI, ADX, and so forth. You title it - if it is an indicator which can be demonstrated as a line or a bar on a chart, day traders will use it to issue trade alerts.
When day investing, technical examination can be used in significantly the very same way swing traders or longer time period technical traders take edge of it. The key variation is in the volume of sounds an specific stock can exhibit in a day - protective stops will get hit substantially far more frequently. The profitable specialized day trader will want an general method which accounts for this and employs it to his/her advantage.

Jul 6th 2010 2:08PM Think about it this way: If this were a public meeting about something important, then the painfully shy person in the back of the room would most likely not say anything despite the fact that they might actually have the best idea in the entire room. However, if the Shy One had a chance to write down and submit those ideas anonymously then everybody would have a chance to hear about this great idea.
There might be a bunch of crappy ideas and childish rants from the village morons but at least this intelligent shy person would have some way to contribute. With the new Forum RealID fiasco, not only might this bright individual never contribute but they might also chose to simply avoid the Forums altogether. (And, no, I'm not trying to refer to myself here. I'm not that bright or shy. ;-) )

Jul 6th 2010 1:53PM What if I simply don't want some people in my real life to know I play WoW? The reasons are mostly unimportant but one thing is that I simply value my privacy. What if I just don't want people to know I'm a nerd that plays video games? (BTW, all of my RL friends know this anyway but it's just a random example.)
I just deleted my old posts from the Forums (luckily there were only a handful). I was on the fence about canceling my subscription until Cataclysm but this just made that decision easy.

When trader Alessio Rastani told the BBC that "governments don't rule the world, Goldman Sachs rules the world", jaws dropped in the news room at his brazen candour. Seven weeks later, Rastani is looking more right than ever.
The global investment bank's advisors have in the past week taken control of the Italian and Greek governments, replacing elected administrations with faceless economists, academics and bureaucrats.
These events are nothing less than corporate-driven coups in the heart ofEurope, through which the financial markets have demanded and got the heads of government on a platter.
George Papandreou and Silvio Berlusconi were what they were, politically speaking. Their mistake was to try and ignore the European Central Bank (ECB), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the leading lights in the European Union, Germany and France, in dealing with their respective debt crises.
So they had to go.

Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaCh) are colocalized with isoforms of the membrane-skeletal protein ankyrinG at axon initial segments, nodes of Ranvier, and postsynaptic folds of the mammalian neuromuscular junction. The role of ankyrinG in directing NaCh localization to axon initial segments was evaluated by region-specific knockout of ankyrinG in the mouse cerebellum. Mutant mice exhibited a progressive ataxia beginning around postnatal day P16 and subsequent loss of Purkinje neurons. In mutant mouse cerebella, NaCh were absent from axon initial segments of granule cell neurons, and Purkinje cells showed deficiencies in their ability to initiate action potentials and support rapid, repetitive firing. Neurofascin, a member of the L1CAM family of ankyrin-binding cell adhesion molecules, also exhibited impaired localization to initial segments of Purkinje cell neurons. These results demonstrate that ankyrinG is essential for clustering NaCh and neurofascin at axon initial segments and is required for physiological levels of sodium channel activity.

This article perpetuates the myth that dystonic reactions are only caused by anti-psychotic drugs. I have had dystonic reactions to Norflex, a muscle relaxer and to Vancomycin and Zyvox, powerful antibiotics administered after a diagnosis of cellulitis following a bi-lateral mastectomy.
Please amend your page to include the fact that other drugs "such as antibiotics" may cause acute dystonic reactions. I had a young resident who was certain I was "extremely paranoid" and insisted I must be taking anti-psychotic drugs, which of course I was not. It make a terrifying experience more stressful and traumatic. Thank you.

Plasticity-related gene 3 promotes neurite shaft protrusion

Recently, we and others proposed plasticity-related gene 3 (PRG3) as a novel molecule in neuritogenesis based on PRG3 overexpression experiments in neuronal and non-neuronal cell lines. However, direct information on PRG3 effects in neuronal development and, in particular, its putative spatio-temporal distribution and conditions of action, is sparse.
We demonstrate here that PRG3 induces filopodia formation in HEK293 cells depending on its N-glycosylation status. The PRG3 protein was strongly expressed during mouse brain development in vivo from embryonic day 16 to postnatal day 5 (E16 – P5). From P5 on, expression declined. Furthermore, in early, not yet polarized hippocampal cultured neurons, PRG3 was expressed along the neurite shaft. Knock-down of PRG3 in these neurons led to a decreased number of neurites. This phenotype is rescued by expression of an shRNA-resistant PRG3 construct in PRG3 knock-down neurons. After polarization, endogenous PRG3 expression shifted mainly to axons, specifically to the plasma membrane along the neurite shaft. These PRG3 pattern changes appeared temporally and spatially related to ongoing synaptogenesis. Therefore we tested (i) whether dendritic PRG3 re-enhancement influences synaptic currents and (ii) whether synaptic inputs contribute to the PRG3 shift. Our results rendered both scenarios unlikely: (i) PRG3 over-expression had no influence on miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSC) and (ii) blocking of incoming signals did not alter PRG3 distribution dynamics. In addition, PRG3 levels did not interfere with intrinsic neuronal properties.
Taken together, our data indicate that endogenous PRG3 promotes neurite shaft protrusion and therefore contributes to regulating filopodia formation in immature neurons. PRG3 expression in more mature neurons, however, is predominantly localized in the axon. Changes in PRG3 levels did not influence intrinsic or synaptic neuronal properties.

The Fatima: Your Last Chance is scheduled for May 2012 it is our latest International Fatima Conference to be held in Rome.
This new event is designed to build on the momentum of the historic Consecration Now! we held in Rome last year.
We all sense that world events are building to a climax. The year 2012 is seen by many as a
turning point in human and cosmic history. But we need no Mayan calendars, no astronomical
calculations, no psychic predictions to know that we have reached the end of the line, where

When asked about the Third Secret of Fatima, whose full contents are still being kept

Grant agent cools Wigan approach talk
ee Grant's agent has denied speculation the Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper has rejected a move to Wigan Athletic. It has been reported recently that the 27-year-old ex-Derby County man opted against joining Wigan after a £2.5million bid was accepted. Grant claimed that he still had two years left on his Owls deal and that he had no intention of turning his back on the relegated club. However, Gino Culbertson, of Excel Management and Promotions, insists neither he nor Grant was informed of any Latics offer. "We are very, very surprised by this article," he told skysports.com. "Neither Lee nor I have had any approach from Wigan. There's been no approach. "We do not know where this story has come from. What we do know is that it's totally untrue."

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Hundreds of people will gather around televisions at Hastings Racecourse to watch local jockey Mario Gutierrez attempt to win the Preakness.
Today's race is the second leg of the Triple Crown after Gutierrez won the Kentucky Derby in early May.
Hastings General Manager Raj Mutti says over the past 10 years or so, the sport of horse racing has fallen off the radar for many.
"Racing was always kind of known as an older person sport. Over the last five years or so, we've put in some different marketing plans and we've been really marketing to a newer, younger demographic."
Mutti adds in the last two weeks the track has had tons of interest, partially thanks to Gutierrez.
"The first four weeks of our racing season before Mario won, we were seeing those positive trends again in 2012. With Mario winning the Derby, it's leading into bigger and better things."
He notes that when the jockey was in town recently, he was calm, cool and collected and believes he has a really good chance of winning the Preakness.
The race's post-time is 3:18 p.m.
Annual Cloverdale Rodeo runs this weekend
Every year, thousands come to check out the barrel races and buck riding at the Cloverdale Rodeo.
Elizabeth Model with the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association says she expects more people to start getting to know horses this year, and believes it's all thanks to Gutierrez.
"I think there's a heightened awareness of livestock and animals and kind of the grass roots of our country. I believe it's probably going to be followed a lot more closely than we think," notes Model. "With the win of I'll Have Another in the Kentucky Derby, it does increase the awareness of the rodeo."
She welcomes newcomers to learn about rodeo subculture as it's a unique experience that is a big part of Surrey's history.

In the stylings of Elvis Costello, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Eddie Cochran, these Topeka, Kansas boys bring it to us as if we were watching them play some school gymnasium in the 50s.
Innovation is the root of every track, without a doubt, these guys gave major thought into every aspect of their songs. The lyrics also offer something that you don't hear much of anymore.
A lot of classic rock artists currently have a need to write songs about being this rock n' roller getting @ss on the road, and drinking beers before a show, you get the point. These guys bring you back to the time when music was about how it makes you feel, these guys are giving you an emotional, poetic journey of their love for true rock n' roll.
Chris Aytes & The Good Ambition give you some true rock with honest lyrics and a positive message, showing you don't need to sacrifice a message to "Tell Your Story Well".
This track "Tell Your Story Well" gives you a Meat Loaf meets Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards. A nice mix styled punk track, a real mind blower though, to realize how versatile these guys actually are.
So check these guys already! -LD

OMB Circulars are instructions or information issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to federal agencies. They are expected to have a continuing effect of 2 years or more. A complete list of current OMB Circulars can be found on the White House Web site. OMB published a Federal Register Notice (69 FR 26275) on Tuesday, May 11, 2004, implementing changes that affect the location of policy guidance for grants and other agreements. It establishes a single title in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (Title 2 of the CFR) along with two subtitles (Subtitles A and B). Subtitle A of Title 2 is to house OMB's guidance to federal agencies for grants and agreements. Subtitle B of Title 2 will house agency regulations that implement the OMB guidance.

REVIEW: Remastered Bleach and Nirvana Live at Reading
Between Pearl Jam releasing a new album and Alice In Chains doing the same with a new singer, it seems like grunge nostalgia is in full force in 2009. And while those two bands are still going strong nearly two decades after Singles and fashionable flannel, they will always be living in the shadow of the "N-word" as Riz Rollins once called the mighty band from Aberdeen. That's part of what I took away after listening to Sub Pop's remastered version of Bleach, complete with a 1990 Nirvana …

Dumpling Shops, China
No matter how many McDonald's and KFC franchises open up in Hong Kong, savory dumplings are the city's fast-food staple. The ubiquitous dumpling shops offer the full range of regional variations.
Din Tai Fung, a branch of the famous Taiwan shop, is well known for its delicate xiaolongbao, little purses of meat and soup wrapped in dough and steamed in bamboo baskets. They are a meal unto themselves and are often washed down with Chinese tea (third floor, Whampoa Gourmet Place, Whampoa Garden, Hung Hom, Kowloon; 852-2330-4886; www.dintaifung.com.tw/eng).
Another variety, the half-moon-shaped jiaozi, is drier inside but just as filling and tasty. One of the best places to try it is the mom-and-pop shop Wang Fu, where you can choose from a variety of fillings, including the popular traditional pork-and-chives and special creations like tomato-and-egg. They are served alone or with noodles; each order comes with a complimentary glass of soy milk (Whampoa, Jade Center, 98-102 Wellington St., Central; 852-2121-8006).
Café Deco, China
Hong Kong, China
Tel: 852 2849 5111
Website: www.cafedecogroup.com
Perched right on Victoria Peak, 1,355 feet above Hong Kong, Café Deco is best known for its spectacular views over the city and South China Sea. The menu here is eclectic—a little of this, a little of that—and is clearly designed to appeal to as wide a cross section of tourists as possible (crowds of them arrive every day to dine behind the restaurant's wall of glass windows). The sushi rolls, Indian and Thai curries, and pastas and pizzas are all decent, and there are some ambitious dishes like Australian Wagyu beef (otherwise known as Kobe) and tandoori ostrich filet. But it's the vistas—and the menu prices—that are the real jaw-droppers here.
Discount Shopping, China
Shoppers come from all over Asia—and the world—to take advantage of Hong Kong's legendary discount shops and outlets. Here are our favorites:
Dickson Warehouse
Clothing labels including Charles Jourdan, Brooks Brothers, Polo, and Kenneth Cole are reduced by up to 80 percent at this flagship Dickson Warehouse. There's another branch at Olympia Plaza (243–255 King's Rd., North Point; 852-2907-1068; www.dicksoncyber.com).
Fa Yuen Street
A slew of factory outlets lines Fa Yuen Street in Mongkok; you can bargain-hunt for items by Nicole Farhi, Ralph Lauren, Emanuel Ungaro, Calvin Klein, Jigsaw, and Banana Republic—all discounted up to 90 percent.
This glamorous department store stocks items by opulent designers like Martin Margiela, Comme des Garçons, Armani, YSL, and Costume National. Prices start at 50 percent of the original cost.
Lo Wu Commercial City
Stuffed to the gills with designer-copy shops, this locally famous mall is a perfect day trip for die-hard shopaholics. Ask your hotel to arrange for a visa (it takes about two days), and transport (by train, it's about about an hour from Central). All the big labels are represented, but prices vary dramatically, so shop around. Goods are divided into A, B, and C grades, depending on the standard of reproduction; A grades are the best and usually kept hidden; customers must ask to see them. Bring Hong Kong dollars, as there are no ATMs, and credit cards are not accepted.
Brand-savvy treasure hunters forgo the glitzy boutiques of Central and head over the Peak to Ap Lei Chau on the island's south side. Space is the place for last season's Prada, Miu Miu, and Helmut Lang. Bring plenty of patience and stamina to rummage through racks and stacks of these three ultradesirable labels. Long lines are proof of the fabulous finds.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 10 am to 7 pm, Sundays noon to 6 pm.
Horizon Plaza
The drab exterior of this warehouse on the island's industrial south side belies its designer-filled interior. Take the elevator straight up to the 21st floor, where Hong Kong's retail queen Joyce Ma regularly refills the Joyce Warehouse (852-2814-8313) with overstock from clothes that started their days on the floor of her Central megaboutique. Four flights up, Lane Crawford Warehouse (25th floor; 852-2118-3403) offers equally enticing designer frocks and shoes for brand-savvy men and women, plus a few fabulous homewares scattered into the mix.
Open Tuesdays through Sundays 10 am to 7 pm.

Happy Valley Racing, China
Hong Kong, China
Tel: 852 2895 1523
Website: www.happyvalleyracecourse.com
Hong Kong locals are horse-racing fanatics—so it's no surprise that this track, an oasis of green lit by giant floodlights at night, sits right at the heart of the city. In fact, it's occupied its place since 1846; Hong Kong practically grew around it. Betting on horses is one of the oldest legally sanctioned forms of gambling here, and with all the money flying around the city these days, it's a big, big business.
The best time to experience the track is at night, when thousands of spectators fill the stands and watch from the balconies of surrounding high-rises. The stakes are huge, the bets are outrageous, and the crowds are appropriately enthused. Wednesday evenings (between September and May) are the liveliest.

A Russian woman has backed Vinnie Jones's claim that he was "set up", after he was photographed kissing singer Lama Safonva.
Alisa Krylova, who is filming a documentary with the former footballer, insisted Safonova "invited the cameras herself".
The model told The Sun: "The best PR for her is a scandal."
Alisa also dismissed claims that Vinnie took her on a romantic date.
She said: "I have no other relationship with Vinnie other than good friendship."
It was rumoured that Vinnie's marriage to wife Tanya was rocked after he was filmed kissing Lama outside a bar in Moscow.
However, the 47-year-old actor insisted that he had just met the singer and her boyfriend.
He said: "It was a set-up."

DUFF & PHELPS administrators could cut 11 players at Scottish football club Rangers.
Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, both partners at Duff & Phelps, were appointed to the club on 14 February.
Further reading
Rangers manager Ally McCoist has been told that up to 11 players could be made redundant in a bid to save the club, the BBC reports.
However, the report claims that Clark and Whitehouse have offered two alternative options including; eight players taking redundancy and other players take a 50% wages cut; or all staff taking a 75% cut to their wages.
It is reported that the club needs about £10m to continue operating until the end of the season.
The administration follows a petition for the club's winding up from HM Revenue & Customs following non-payment of about £9m in PAYE and VAT after its takeover in May 2011 by Craig Whyte.
HMRC are also involved in a long running tax tribunal with the club over how players were paid.
Rangers FC and the taxman are battling out a compensation case over the club's use of Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs).
HMRC claims it is owed £24m in unpaid PAYE due to the club using EBTs, which provide employees with non-repayable interest free loans.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.
