WEDNESDAY, July 23, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Even though its use is often advised by doctors, the painkiller acetaminophen -- best known as Tylenol -- does not help treat lower back pain, according to a new Australian study.
The researchers found the drug was no more effective than a dummy pill for more than 1,600 people suffering from acute lower back pain.
Besides showing no effect in easing discomfort, the study also found the drug was no help in improving sleep woes tied to back pain, nor did it improve patients' overall quality of life.
The research team said the findings call into question the belief that acetaminophen should be the first choice when treating this common form of back pain.
The drug "might not be of primary importance in the management of acute lower back pain," study lead author Dr. Christopher Williams from the George Institute for Global Health at the University of Sydney in Australia, said in a news release from the journal The Lancet.
The study was published online in the July 23 issue of the journal.
However, one expert said it's probably too early to abandon acetaminophen for lower back pain.
"While this is a fascinating study, it is only one study and shouldn't change clinical behavior," said Dr. Houman Danesh, director of Integrative Pain Management and assistant professor of anesthesiology at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
For its part, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, which makes Tylenol, said doctors need to consider "the entire body of scientific evidence when making recommendations or changing guidelines." The company said that "the safety and efficacy profile of acetaminophen is supported by more than 150 studies over the past 50 years."
The new study involved more than 1,650 people averaging 45 years of age. All had suffered lower back pain and were treated at 235 different primary care facilities throughout Sydney. Each person was randomly assigned to take either three doses of acetaminophen daily (a total of 3,990 milligrams) for up to four weeks, or a placebo pill.
The researchers pointed out the maximum daily dose of the drug is 4,000 milligrams (mg).
All of the patients received follow-up "reassurance and advice" from a doctor for three months.
According to the study, there were no differences in the amount of time it took any of the patients involved in the study to feel better. The median time to recovery for those taking acetaminophen was 17 days, compared to 16 days for patients in the placebo group.
The drug also appeared to have no effect on the patients' level of pain, compared to people who took the dummy pill, the researchers noted. Acetaminophen also did not improve patients' level of disability, sleep quality or quality of life. About the same number of patients in each group experienced negative health issues, the study found.
The researchers suggested that the medical reassurance the patients received during the study -- something many won't get in a "real world" setting -- could have had a more significant effect on their lower back pain than the medication.
"It would be interesting to see whether advice and reassurance [as provided in our trial] might be more effective than pharmacological strategies for acute episodes of low-back pain," Williams said.
Another expert agreed that encouragement and counseling can be key.
Everyone involved in the study received ongoing " 'good-quality advice and reassurance,' which appears to be a big factor in recovery," said Dr. Michael Mizhiritsky, a physiatrist and specialist in pain relief at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"In my opinion, positive reinforcement about treatments -- including medications and physical therapy -- in the management of low back pain is vital to a quicker and successful recovery," he added.
Both Danesh and Mizhiritsky also took issue with some of the study's methods.
"The drawback I see is there was no group that did not receive any treatment -- meaning there could be a placebo effect" at work, Mizhiritsky said.
And Danesh said people could still get relief from acetaminophen/Tylenol -- just not the kind of relief outlined in the study.
"The criteria was to be pain-free for seven continuous days when using Tylenol," he pointed out. "It does not address if Tylenol will give you a few hours of relief or a few days."
In the meantime, the prognosis for most people with lower back pain is actually quite good, Danesh stressed.
"Most back pain patients improve in 6-8 weeks," he said. "It is important to note that the best treatment of back pain involves not only pain medication, but also physical therapy to address muscle imbalances. Acupuncture for back pain has also been researched by the U.S. National Institute of Health, and after reviewing the literature they state that there is evidence to support the use of acupuncture for back pain."
The study was partially funded by drug maker GlaxoSmithKline Australia.

RARE VINTAGE CIVIL WAR ERA HOLSTER FOR 1911 COLT AUTO Once OWNED AND WORN BY BILLY THE KID.
Two years ago at this time I was privileged to offer at auction a magnificent antique holster previously carried by Union Army Major General Ardell "Butch" Bucheimer. This year I am pleased to be able to offer an equally magnificent specimen of museum quality. The story of my acquisition of this rare historical artifact begins in 1999. I was touring Europe with friends during September of that year, and happened to stay for the night at a remote French village by the name of Bonne, on the way to Geneva, Switzerland. At the Hotel bar, I struck up a conversation with an odd looking buck-toothed local, and though I had some difficulty understanding everything that was said, an answer to my query regarding the origin of the name of the place astounded me. I was told that the village was named after "Zee American outleau, Billy zee Kid" and that the village was actually founded by Billy's wife in the early 1880's.
The remainder of the story I heard that night was even more incredible, but over time and extensive historical research, I have come to believe it is true. It seems that contrary to popular belief, Billy Bonney was not a single man at the time of his death by the gun of Pat Garrett on July 14, 1881. He had, in fact, married a woman by the name of Maria Magdalena, in Santa Fe, NM, in March of 1881. The marriage ceremony was said to have been secretly performed by New Mexico territorial Governor Lew Wallace. I was told that Billy's (now pregnant) wife fled to France in the months following Billy's death at Fort Sumner, and eventually found her way to this area of France to gave birth to a son. It seems that to this day many of the residents of the village are direct descendents of William H. Bonney, although over time the name was Francofiled to drop the "y".
I struck up several friendships that night and continued to correspond with residents of the town over the years, eventually obtaining from one of them this fine holster reputed to be one of the last remaining possessions of Billy belonging to the actual descendents of William H. Bonney. I despair to tell you what I had to give for this remarkable find, but suffice to say, I paid dearly. Although this holster is not Mexican carved or tooled in any way, it is beautifully embossed with the unmistakable "US" in oval (meaning "Union States"), as opposed to "CS" (meaning "Confederate States") It is also marked on the back with the historical name of Catney Enterprises. Louden Jacinto "Cat" Catney, whom I am given to understand was a noted saddle maker in Lincoln, New Mexico territory from 1852-1879, was rumored to have been awarded a contract by the US Government to produce holsters prior to and during the Civil War. Apparently this was an over-run or possibly a prototype that was given to Billy by Catney, to carry the prized, pearl handled 1911 Colt Auto Pistol that Billy wielded so effectively during the Lincoln County Wars. Catney soon after tragically lost his life in a mule shoeing accident.
Had he lived, would "Cat" Catney have achieved the fame and high reputation of noted leatherworkers like H.H. Heiser, Frazier, Gallup, F.A. Meanea, S.D. Myres or George Lawrence? We will never know. Does the fact that New Mexico finally became a state in 1912 lend further credence to the provenance of this wonderful example of 19th century leather-craft? You decide. This important historical holster is in remarkable condition for its age and would be a worthy addition to any collection. Up here on the Turquoise Trail, we believe in truth, justice and the American way. Please e-mail any questions you may have before bidding.
"Starting price bears no relation to item worth, the market will decide"
Q: Sir I have recently won the European Lotto and should soon receive my monies from the English Barrister whom I have retained to facilitate the transfer of funds. As I have always appreciated such priceless relics of our western heritage as your priceless holster I would ask that you entertain the possibility of my directly assigning the proceeds of my lotto winnings to you in exchange for said item? I would assure you that the holster would be prominently displayed here on the wall of the Nigerian Consultant where I reside as Vice Council. I anxiously await your response.Mar-26-07
A: Your Vice Councilship, I might entertain this offer if you would be so kind as to send the contact information for the English Barrister whom you have retained to facilitate the transfer of funds. Shortly thereafter you could expect to receive my Nigerian bank account number.
Q: I have no doubt of the provenance and accuracy of your description of this item as I too am an advanced collector of french ephemera. However, are you offering a 3 day inspection/return privlege? Thank you.Mar-26-07
A: Not at this time, but possibly in a day or less.
Q: Dear Sir- I am desperately interested in this most unique opportunity to actually acquire a piece of our Southwest History- I was born and raised in Texas and have been an avid Western artifact collector for some 35 years- Unfortunately, at this time, I am rather,how should I say, financially under the weather- However, I would be willing to trade- One bird dog pup, a little gunshy but I can almost guarantee that she will outgrow it- One Jack mule, standing 17 hands, partially moon-eyed but has sound teeth and keen ears- 2 mostly grown children and a 3 legged Rhode Island Red rooster- I know you will probably require a little Boot in order to make this trade fair- Please let me know what you allow on this offer- Kind Regards- Robt.Mar-26-07
A: Robt. - By Golly, this sounds like the best trade offer I have received yet. Just give me a few days to check with ebay to see if I can cancel this listing prior to the end date of this auction and you may have a deal!
Q: Does the holster alloow the mounting of the under-barrel ball rammer to expedite the loading and unloading of the black powder, muzzle-loading 38 super cartridges? Is an over-powder wad or ball butter required?Mar-26-07
A: Yes and both.
Q: Are the two humans pictured included in the auction? I have no use for the holster, as my 1911 has the six round .357 cylinder and therefore won't fit due to ramrod length. That said, I'm specifically interested in the second fellow's mustache, providing that it's house-broken and is good with children. Yours etc, H.H. PuddingfootMar-26-07
A: A perfectly reasonable question H.H. - But no they are not. By the way, as you probably know, the second fellow is Pat Garrett.
Q: I can't afford to bid on this rare item, but I was wondering if you had any insight on what bullets Billy might have loaded his sidearm with. I've heard that Billy used Federal EMFJ in .38 Super +P, blackpowder equivalent. However, I've learned that Federal discontinued the line in 1852! It seems unlikely that Billy would have hoarded a stash in that day and age - ammunition is heavy, and a decade's supply wouldn't ride well on a horse. Maybe another option was availible? I understand cast lead bullets weren't introduced until 1872, so he must have used something else - unless I've been mislead. Please help!Mar-26-07
A: That certainly does pose an interesting question. Perhaps one of our other ebayers can answer that one. There are a lot of experts out there, and I have heard from a number of them (that I have not posted).
Q: I dont think that the holster is Billy the kids. It it was it would be marked "BK" and not "US" It must have belonged to someone with those initials. Perhaps Ulysses S. Grant?Mar-26-07
A: Perhaps.
Q: I am also interested in this rare holster, as are many others, I'm sure. Not to throw a negative light on it, but I think you should have it Carbon Dated to make sure that it authentic. Would you back up the auction and guarantee the authenticity if the buyer had the holster carbon dated, and it turned out to be older than you state. I do know of three almost identical holsters that have been dated to the 1700s that were found in a hidden tomb, south of Mexico City. Along with the holsters, there were several boxes of 38 Super cartridges, because (as we all know) having a 45 auto would be against the law in Mexico, which forbids the possession of military calibres, even by outlaws. Also, the 38 Super was a super cartridge for shooting cats, which is an interest of mine, and which led me to the three Mexican holsters in the first place. - - El Fuegotero del los gatos Mar-26-07
A: Excellent idea, Amigo. I will look into that - it may indeed be much older.
Q: I recently was a chaperone on a foreign exchange trip with my daughter's french class and we happened upon the same village. I decided to part form them one afternoon when they were takaing in the Nile River excursion and I believe i happened on the same fellow that you did that eventful afternoon. After several glasses of Pinot Griggio he explained to me the story of selling this treasure to an American and said that you left the leather holster for the clip holder, this rarest of finds. I told him I was from Texas and would love to have it so I could place it in the Billy The Kid museum in Hico Texas. He names an outrageous price and we negotiated from there. Well I bought several more bottles of Boones Farm and got the fella drunk and I bought it for a mere pittance of $285.00 U.S. American dollars. If I win your holster I will have the only 1911 holster @ clip that Billy ever owned. My question is does yours also have the belt loop cut into the back for it to slide onto the bMar-25-07
A: Yes
Q: Is there any chance it was for Billy's Wilson Combat instead of his 1911? I had always thought that Billy passed off his 1911 to his cousin from south of the border, Guillermo El Nino. Maybe my info is wrong?Mar-25-07
A: I would recommend that you go back to your source and verify that the most current folkloristic, astrophysical, archeological and agronomistic methods were employed to substantiate that claim.
Q: I'd like to shed some light on some mis-infomation in your ad. "Catney soon after tragically lost his life in a mule shoeing accident." Catney survived the incident, he just looked like he was dead. Just wanted to clear that up. Mar-25-07
A: Thanks for the clarification. I will have to re-check my source on that and get back to you.
Q: Is this for one of the early black powder 1911s? I have some very old loads that may be from the same era- would you be interested in adding to your collection of Billy-ana? If so I will start an eBay auction and send you the link. Mar-25-07
A: It depends on what you consider to be "early". As you probably know, Colt 1911 pistols manufactured prior to 1911 have negative serial numbers, and the oldest black powder 1911's have very high negative numbers. Those old black powder loads might be interesting if they were in .38 Super - but of course ebay policy would prohibit their listing.
Q: Please don't post my response because I don't want the snipers out there to know that my max bid is 13.01 and winning Billy the Kid's holster would really make my life complete. I feel like if I'm lucky enough to win it, I could just go ahead die. And, too, it would really look good with my government model which is the actual, personal sidearm that Gary Cooper, I mean Sergeant York, used to capture all those Germans in WWI. So please post, I mean don't post my message. Thanks, SHILOHHOUNDSMar-25-07
A: OK, so, here it is, I mean isn't.
Q: Sir,I am very interested in your rare and historical artifact.The current bid however exceeds my limited funds.My question good sir is,would you be willing to accept payment in Confederate currency and S&H green stamps?Mar-25-07
A: Sir, I appreciate your interest and would be happy to consider an equitable exchange of 80% Confederate currency and 20% S&H green stamps.
Q: I just bought (at a rare collector car auction), a 2004 Lexus G400 that Billy the Kid owned and drove. When I looked in the glove compartment, I found that Billy left his wallet and drivers license in it. Would you consider a trade for his wallet? Mar-25-07
A: I might, but only if it contained his New Mexico "Driver License" and his Social Security card.
Q: i have billy the kid's barret 50 cal. he used. would you be willing to consider any trades? thanksMar-25-07
A: Quite possibly, if you are ultimately the winning bidder.
Q: Dear Mr. Hoffa - i am sorry to inform you that while you were on the lamb in France, not only did the town you hid in drop the "Y", but they added two other letters (side by sie) to your alphabet - a "B" and a "S". albeit a very good story, i believe you have errored slightly. Billy's 1911 Colt did not have those pimp pearl handles that you describe, but instead, it was wrapped with Pachmyer presentation grips to match the magazine bumper pad. If Poncho Villa, who is said to have the pistol, is negotiating in good faith with you for the firearm or attempting to acquire the pistol for his collection, then good luck, but please be reminded that he is a consumate liar - and might hurt your feedback. Mar-25-07
A: Apparently you and Gen. George Patton think alike with regard to pearl handles. As you may know, First Lieutenant George S. Patton, Jr., Calvalry, spent time with Pershing on the border pursuing Villa after the raid on Columbus, New Mexico in March of 1916 and had this to say about the General: "I have tried this evening to give you a picture of the man, John J. Pershing; strong, virile, kindly and human; alive to his responsibilities; and unswerving in his adherence to duty. To me the motto of West Point, "Duty, Honor, Country," finds in him a perfect exemplification."
Q: Do you have the assless chaps that Billy wore with this holster?Mar-25-07
A: The chaps, unfortunately no, but his full floral tooled chinks, branded with the letters BzK, are part of my personal collection
Q: Hm. So, time travel HAS been perfected within our history! Is this perhaps a companion item to Pat Garrett's personal M1 Garand cleaning kit?Mar-24-07
A: Please study Pat Garrett's picture carefully. Part of that kit may be visible in the photo.
Q: "I've got some, ocean front property in Ar-i-zon-a, from my front porch you can seeeee the seeaaa, I've got some, ocean front property in Ar-i-zon-a, if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free"Mar-24-07
A: I just may be interested, Mr. Strait.Q: if billy the kid was killed july 14 1881 and the colt auto did not come out untill 1911. how you that this holster belong to billy the kid because the colt 1911 did not out untill he was dead and gone. the 1911 stand for the year the colt auto came out in some one have lied to you about this holster Mar-24-07
A: Well said good fellow.
Q: In case you haven't caught on, you are listing a holster for a 1911 Colt auto - the Civil war ended in 1865. You see the problem here? The 1911 didn't exist, and Billy the Kid certainly never carried one. Now, a holster for an 1860 Colt Army would be interesting, if original.Mar-24-07
A: I guess I may have to re-think this whole scenario.
Q: Are you also selling the Brooklyn Bridge by any chance? I'm in the market.Mar-24-07
A: Check back next year at this time, it may be available.
Q: I am sorry but I must question the validity of this item. I myself personally own Billy the Kid's Glock 19. Everyone knows Billy only carried the very best weapons, so a Glock was the natural choice for such a demanding pistolero. It was purchased in Italy from direct descendants of Billy himself. Billy escaped from captivity, was never shot by Pat Garret and died in his sleep, a peaceful olive grower in the Umbria area of Northern Italy, 1929. His great grandson sold me Billy's well used and indivualized Glock 19 in 1995. It is full auto and came with a LEFT handed Kydex holster and two 30 rds magazines. It has what appears to be silver inlay with gold accents on it. I believe you have been had sir. I can send you pictures of the gun and of Billy's family to back up my claim. The family resemblnce is unmistakeable. Billy would never have carried such a inferior weapon to a Glock.Mar-24-07
A: By all means, please send photos. And you are certainly entitled to your opinion...
Q: I am not able to bid any higher, as the holster has exceeded a price I am able to pay. But I would like to thank you for giving ebay users the opportunity to bid on and own a piece of history that otherwise would not be available to serious collectors. Your researched provenance is indisputable. You are a credit to the collector fraternity, and I wish you continued success with your wonderful historic auctions.Mar-24-07
A: Thank you, sir, for the kind words and your participation thus far. It is always a pleasure to deal with an educated collector who has an appreciation of fine offerings, along with a keen sense of time, place and the incongruities of life.
Q: What type of wool is displayed in your photo with the holster? If it is true French Wool, you have a winner. Would you sell the wool with the holster? Thanks. Mar-24-07
A: The wool is from a New Mexico sheep. 4-H, and therefore I cannot sell it.
Q: Is said relic the very one which was hidden beneath the obelisk at Saint-Sulpice Church in France, dating back to the Merovingian dynasty? Well that means this sidearm carrier actually belonged to an even more important historical figure before Sir William Bonne. This is the holy grail of all sidearm chalices!Mar-24-07
A: This is an amazing revelation! If this connection is true, it could be the most startling and controversial historical discovery of the 21st century. And it would, of course, add inestimable value to the item.
Q: I have Billy the Kid's original Colt M16 he also used during that same time period. Many people do not know that the AR-15 / M16 was actually used by Union Troops in the Civil War, and that Billy was given one by then President Harry Truman. Since it is an orginal M16, I am sure a trade is out of the question...but just wanted to share the info.Mar-24-07
A: In a future auction I may be offering President Harry Truman's, "The buck stops here" original Buck knife. Watch for it.
Q: is that a lever action FAL Billy is holding in the tin type or is it a L1A1Mar-24-07
A: Common belief holds that Billy carried a Model 1873 Winchester, possibly chambered in .38 Super to match his 1911 Colt Auto. But I have always felt there might be room for speculation there.
Q: Does this holster fit the semi auto version of the Colt 1911, Or the full auto version? Also, do you know what potential calibers of pistol this holster could carry? Mar-24-07
A: Either one in any caliber, although I understand that, like many pistoleros in the Southwest, Billy preferred the .38 Super, even though that ammo was difficult to obtain then (as it is now).
Q: The Civil War was in the 1860's Browning did not design the 1911 pistol until, well 1911, some 50 years later. Actually the holster looks to be a Chinese reproduction made out of water buffalo hide. Are you sure it wasn't made for Buffalo Bill when he toured the Orient? Mar-24-07
A: No Chinese connection here, but I may be listing a very nice prehistoric Chinese knife later this weekend that you may be interested in.
Q: I have always dreamt of owning Billy's holster, butI feel that this sale will end far beyond my price range. I could make a copy if I could get some leather from the strain of the cow. You dont by chance have any semen from the bull that fathered the cow do you?Mar-24-07
A: Not at present. Check my auctions next year at this time.
Q: i have a similar one, do you think it might be one of his wifes holsters? i also heard about his wife and heard she carried an engraved bushmastyr-bayture in 49 cal, with elephant ivory grips. did you hear anything that might confirm this?Mar-24-07
A: I am confident that the holster offered is unique. Possibly later in life, but during this period Maria was known to carry a Lefaucheux revolver in 12mm pinfire.
Q: This is truly an extraordinary find! In my personal collection I have Chaiman Mao's Lorcin and Ghandi's personal bayonet frog- I must also have this holster!Mar-24-07
A: I recommend that you bid early and often.
Q: If I was to bid and win, do you know if I could donate this to the Smithsonain for a tax write-off?Mar-23-07
A: I am almost certain that you could.
Q: Is this holster black color or white? It looks black in the picture, but then I thought, maybe that is really the photo negative and the holster is really white. I would be very interested in the holster if it is white color, as it would match my shoes.Mar-23-07
A: It is indeed black. The picture of Billy is the reverse tintype.
Q: I am currently in possession of Pat Garrett's broomhandle Mauser stock used during his execution of Mr. Bonney. Would you consider an even trade for the holster?Mar-23-07
A: That is a tempting offer. However, I would have to check ebay auction terms and conditions to see if that could be arranged. I will advise.
Q: does this holster have the ultra-rare belt hanging hooks???Mar-23-07
A: The ultra-rare belt hooks are intact.
Q: Does the auction include the correspondence from the French person who sold you this valuable holster? This correspondence would surely add value in the display of this rare item.Mar-23-07
A: Copies of all available correspondence can be provided to the winning bidder upon request.
Q: How does Billy Bonney who was killed in 1881 weild a Colt 1911 pistol in the Lincoln County Wars, when the said Colt pistol was not in existence until 1911? Are you interested in purchasing the M1911 that Billy carried?Mar-23-07
A: Coincidentally, I have recently entered into preliminary negotiations with the Bonne Ancestral Trust to acquire Billy's 1911 colt. As you probably know, Colt 1911 pistols manufactured prior to 1911 have negative serial numbers, and Billy's has an fairly high negative number.
Q: Have you done a leather sample yet, to determine the age and sex of the animal it was made from?Mar-23-07
A: I checked into that, but unfortunately, a comprehensive lab test cannot be performed without severely damaging the holster. However, based upon the suppleness, underlying lighter color and texture of the leather, I would guess it was made from the hide of a 3-4 year old non-angus cow (not bull) of medium stature in good physical condition.
Q: I am very interested in this rare holster. How much will you take to end the auction early?Mar-23-07
A: Although I appreciate your offer, I regret that no amount of money could tempt me to end this auction early. I adhere very strictly to ebay policy on this.

Pakistani ferry sinks in Indus, 60 drowned
KARACHI, Nov 4 (Reuters) – A passenger ferry believed to be
overloaded sank in Pakistan's Indus river on Friday and 60
people were drowned, government officials said.
The accident came nearly four weeks after an earthquake
killed more than 73,000 people in the country's northern
mountains. "According to our information, 60 people have been
killed," a navy spokesman, Lieutenant Commander Salman Ali,
said of the ferry accident.
The ferry sank near the southern town of Thatta, 70 km (45
miles) east of Karachi. "We have sent our diving and rescue
teams to the area," Ali said.
A provincial spokesman said 80 people were on board the
boat when the accident happened. The cause was being
investigated but it was thought the vessel was overloaded.
"At the moment we feel the boat was overloaded and they
failed to take required precautionary measures," said
provincial government spokesman Salahuddin Haider.
The boat was believed to have been taking people to a
shrine to mark Friday's Eid al-Fitr holiday, which follows the
Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, Haider said.
The accident will add to the somber mood of the holiday
festival in Pakistan after the catastrophic earthquake that hit
the north of country on October 8.

Topic: Henry Clay Frick
There are few things in life more heart-rending than the death of innocent children.
It happened far more frequently in earlier times, of course. But that only makes it more difficult for us to cope when something like the tragedy in Newtown occurs, with twenty 6- and 7-year-olds gunned down by a madman. One minute they were alive, their eyes bright with eagerness, lives of limitless possibilities ahead of them. The next they were lifeless, lying in pools of blood, irretrievably lost to those who brought them into the world and loved them beyond measure.
But cope we must, each in his own way.

Court dates are piling up for Elisa Baker, whose felony charges were continued Tuesday in superior court.
Baker, who is charged in the death of her 10-year-old stepdaughter Zahra, was scheduled to appear in court for bigamy and obstruction of justice charges that surfaced after the investigation in Zahra's murder.
Those cases were continued, adding more dates on the court docket for Baker and her court-appointed attorney Scott Reilly. Baker is confined in Catawba County jail under a $307,700 bond, and she didn't appear in court Tuesday.
Prayers are lifted high this week for Catawba County residents infected with HIV and AIDS.
This week is the National Week of Prayer for the Healing of HIV and AIDS, and three area churches, as well as ALFA, are reaching out to residents infected and affected by the disease.
"(The goal) is to inspire those who are affected and infected by HIV," said Michelle Mathis, health and wellness minister at Exodus Missionary Outreach Church. "Life doesn't end with a positive diagnosis."
A group of Hickory women are Knit Wits, and they don't care who knows it.
The women, who are in their 90s, live at Pinecrest Retirement Community in Hickory, where they knit lap blankets, head coverings and baby caps to donate to area hospitals and other organizations.
"I feel like we're doing something for somebody that needs something special," said Romalda Aman, 95.
Two men were indicted Monday on murder charges at the Catawba County Justice Center.
The Catawba County Grand Jury indicted Michael Joseph Anderson, 19, of Hickory, and Brian Todd Hieb, 43, of Sherrills Ford, on murder charges stemming from two unrelated deaths. The clerk of court's office said Monday that the indictments don't specify whether the murder charge is first or second degree.
Catawba County received a more than $200,000 grant to increase the visibility of its small, rural manufacturers.
The web-based program will connect small companies with potential clients through the worldwide exposure of the Internet, in the hope of creating and retaining manufacturing jobs in Catawba County.
Martha Smith Yount, of Blowing Rock, died Wednesday, March 2, 2011, at Watauga Medical Center in Boone. The Yount family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.
John W. Hatchett passed away peacefully in his sleep at Carillon Assisted Living in Newton on March 5, 2011. Catawba Memorial Park, Funerals and Cremations are providing professional services to the Hatchett family.
A Claremont warehouse has a new occupant, according to a statement released Monday from a private real estate company.
JER Partners announced that Sutter Street Manufacturing, a division of home-goods manufacturer Williams-Sonoma, will lease the entire warehouse on Kelly Boulevard in Claremont. The company's decision to come to Claremont, however, is a business move the Catawba County Economic Development Corporation and the city of Claremont have yet to confirm.
After the Catawba County Schools Board of Education announced a new superintendent for the county's largest school system, we fire darts at officials who orchestrated the search.
Riverbend Park, off N.C. 16 in northern Catawba County, is closed Monday for the safety of the public. Duke Energy will open flood gates at the Oxford Dam following weekend rains. Conditions are unsafe for patrons at the park when the flood gates open.
Believe anything is possible.
That is the new motto for the Newton-Conover Lady Red Devils basketball team heading into Saturday's Regional championship game against Salisbury.
On Tuesday, Mallard Creek (27-4), a team that Newton-Conover defeated earlier this season, knocked off defending state champion Butler (30-1) in the 4A ranks.
Following that upset victory, Newton-Conover head coach Jonathan Tharpe texted all of his players with one simple message.
"I texted them that Mallard Creek had beaten Butler," Tharpe said. "All you have to do is believe."

Oldham County and South Oldham's boys go into their meeting at 7:45 p.m. Friday with quality wins under their belts.
OC recently finished third in the Surf Division of the Surf 'N' Slam Tournament in San Diego, beating teams from Florida and California.
Meanwhile South is coming off a title two weekends ago in the John Fendley Classic and a third-place finish in last weekend's Lindsey Wilson College Holiday Classic.
South and OC are ranked first and third in Region 8 by the Courier-Journal.
Oldham County's girls seemed on their way to a District title last February, leading South Oldham by 14 points in the fourth quarter of the district title game.

I am having a problem related with the SDK. I would appreciate it if someone could give me a solution about it.
When calling the following function, I get my image rotated by 90 degrees.
Even if I call the following before the GetPreviewBufferArgb, it doesn't seem to work.
camera.SensorLocation == CameraSensorLocation.Back
? camera.SensorRotationInDegrees : -camera.SensorRotationInDegrees);[/CODE]
The weird thing is that the above SetProperty works when I do the following and it works for both the Thumbnail and the normal resolution capture (strange isn't it?):
[CODE]CameraCaptureSequence cs = camera.CreateCaptureSequence(1);
MemoryStream st = new MemoryStream();
MemoryStream st2 = new MemoryStream();
cs.Frames[0].CaptureStream = st.AsOutputStream();
cs.Frames[0].ThumbnailStream = st2.AsOutputStream();
await camera.PrepareCaptureSequenceAsync(cs);
await camera.FocusAsync();
await cs.StartCaptureAsync();[/CODE]
Do I miss anything in order to get in the correct angle the image from GetPreviewBufferArgb or do I have to rotate it manually by code?
Best regards
Efthymios Kalyviotis

After the cabin episode, I really believed that was it and that things would move forward. Instead, things kept going worse and there was no sign of improvement whatsoever. As I already said, should Welkin be closer to his game counterpart and stand up for himself, this would be perfect to create tension between him and Faldio; hell, this is what everyone expected of that love triangle.

... ... I can't even comment on how much this series has lost the plot so I won't even bother. Largo's scene with his flashback and subsequently revealing his first love (and his reaction) was simply hilarious, and not to mention the highlight of this depressive and angsty melodramatic episode featuring the daily life of Alicia...

Just to say that, sometimes a genius in some areas may be dumb in another. I think their relationship needs a proper trigger, and one will be enough------If they put it that way like the game then, at least IMO, will be a better way to resolve it.

He has few rare moments, but he also show some incapabilities as well which doesnt make him more than average. Last edited by Darknemo2000; 2009-07-20 at 10:04. |

However, his social/romance IQ is severely lacking. If we are to go by results then Welkin does not fall into the average commander but above average with the victories he's won. He's just shaken because his friend's gone all horny over a girl he feels affectionate for. If we are to complain about Welkin and Alicia being "close" then how about Faldio? Good lord the guy talks like he and Alicia are already bedding each other "At least I have someone I can go to for comfort" Dude that only works if she's actually your girlfriend. Not some stress release object.... |

I really don't care what and who talks about him - I look at his performance in battle fiekd and they do not look something I would call 'genius' at all. He can command and he can be pretty reliable at times as well but he does not really look like genius to me.
And yeah his victories procentage high but again he did not take part in that many battles to begin with so this procentage is pretty much pointless as the number of battles is small. I do agree on the part that he is a social retard though. To tell the truth I dont really care much about Faldio. Yeah he can be annoying pervert but at least he has some balls, and this is something that anime Welkin does not have. |

He's a genius at biology and botany and zoology and there's no argument there. Quote:

I was talking about him as a commander genius, and since you started to disagree I thought that you meant him to be a genius as a commander while I claimed he is barely an average one. He simply does not have enough backbone to be a real good commander and is too wavering on deciding moments when the situation asks you to act in a determined manner.
Yes, game Welkin is like that, but not anime version of him, thats why for me he still remains nothing but an average commander and those small battles do not look convincing enough for me. He is capable to command, but he is not a top commander. Weather he is a genius at zoology or other fields - I do not care as this is about war and war connected so all that matters. The knowledge helps him in battles but his weak personality obstructs him from becoming more than just an average commander. Again I am talking about anime Welkin, not game one. |

Yeah, I do understand Alicia - she is still, very young and we can count her as a schoolgirl, but Welkin acts like he was puberty hitting 14 year old emo boy, which only raiseses more eyebrows considering his age. Yeah, you could say that he is a social retard so his mental growth is slow, but it seems to be the case with most of the characters...
It really looks like it was written by a bad shoujo writer who without thinking about situation and characters just slapped his pathetic shoujo love triangle thinking that it works, but it doesn't. In different situation (at school, with 14-16 year olds) it could suit, but the anime is not about school drama and most characters are beyond their school age already. |
