The Department of Interior (DOI) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) set a precedent for smart solar energy in a recent decision to approve three large-scale solar projects in the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone of southern Nevada.
The revised Public Lands Renewable Energy Development Act (PLREDA) was reintroduced into the Senate this week with strong bipartisan support.
President Obama announced a new program on April 3 that will advance the fight against climate change while creating thousands of new jobs—largely for veterans.
The Bureau of Land Management is instituting a new Master Leasing Plan for an area outside Dinosaur National Monument. Large areas of wild lands in northwest Colorado will now be protected, but the new plan also opens up several sensitive areas to oil and gas drilling.
The U.S. Senate is debating its fiscal year 2016 budget resolution, a process that will include amendments affecting important programs that support forests, parks and conservation priorities.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is mapping the windiest public lands as it searches for the best places for wind energy development.
A recent independent analysis uncovered a void in the nation's efforts to address global climate change: currently no plan exists to account for and manage greenhouse gas emissions created by energy development on public lands.
After years of neglect by the federal government, our country's conservation programs are in serious need of restoration.
Wildlands are changing rapidly due to climate change. Those of us who love them are challenged to visit them while leaving as minimal of a carbon footprint as possible.
Tweets about "@wilderness"
President Obama has vowed to urge Congress to designate new wilderness in the Refuge. Encourage him to keep fighting for this threatened land.

Quote from: aron
That will work. For beginners, I usually recommend auto-ranging. Radio Shack used to make one with Auto-Ranging and auto battery turn off for around $20-$29.
It was tiny too. Maybe they have it in your local store?

I would like this to work for more advanced projects in the future...
THis is the neck one they have that has the auto-ranging...

I have used Dual Advantage Cream for almost a year & have had great results. It controls my oily skin & keeps breakouts to a minimum. I am 52 & have had mild adult acne for years. Wish it was less expensive though.
I would highly recommend this product!

I am 39, I have suffered with acne since the age of 18. This product in conjunction with the acne kit is wonderful. I have used the dual action cream for a little over a month. My skin is glowing! my pores are noticeably smaller, and I can say for the first time in 21 years I do not have a single blemish on my face! ( I have been using the acne treatment kit since October of 2012, that is where the transformation began) I love Glo, thank you for bringing such wonderful products to us!!

This product didn't do much for my blemishes or helped redness. Seemed to clog my pores more.
Note from gloProfessional: We are sorry to hear that you were less than satisfied with Dual Advantage Cream. It is a dynamic, new product introduction that highlights 10% Azelaic Acid, an ingredient widely known to treat breakouts and redness-prone skin. Generally, noticeable results (with continued use of the product) should be evident after 30 days. As alternatives, a top suggestion for the treatment of inflamed breakouts is Clear Anti-Blemish Treatment, which contains 5% Benzoyl Peroxide and other acne-fighting ingredients.

Beautiful products
Bride and groom designed their invitations in the damask dream, and was able to use their wedding colors. It turned out beautifully; as was the accompanying items: enclosure card, rsvp card, favor tags, water bottle label; and we used the program card from a coordinating design. Also, the printing options for the return address, and the guest addresses made my life easier. The staff was helpful when we ran into a few design issues, but their response was immediate. Their final review was most helpful in that they found an error! Despite numerous reviews. We were most satisfied and will absolutely recommend Magnet Street!
The paper is of good quality, printing is excellent and fast shipping. Couldn't be more pleased.
Water bottle labels
The labels are beautiful, very colorful, striking. Saved me time and money from having to print them myself. My client will love them!

Career Nights By Albanez, Redmon Help Zags Beat Missouri State
PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico - Gonzaga University sophomore Keani Albanez and junior Jazmine Redmon each scored a career-high and helped the Bulldogs take a 80-66 victory over Missouri State University Tuesday evening in their opening game of the Hardwood Tournament of Hope in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
The 14-point win pushed the Zags record to 5-0 on the year and tied the program's best start in school history. The only other time Gonzaga started 5-0 was in 2008-09; that team went to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Albanez, who has scored in double-figures in all but two contests, finished with 19 points, besting her career-high by two points. Redmon had her best offensive output of her career, scoring 16 points hitting 5-of-9 from the field, including a perfect 4-of-4 on 3-pointers.
It was the Bulldogs 3-point shooting and tenacious defense that led them to a 14-point halftime advantage. The Zags, who led 41-27 after 20 minutes, sank 7-of-11 from beyond the 3-point arc and forced the Lady Bears to turn the ball over 12 times and scored 11 points off the miscues.
It was a back-and-forth game early in the contest but with the 3-ball falling Gonzaga opened up a 23-17 advantage at the 11:18 mark. Albanez drained the first of her three first half 3-pointers to start a 6-2 run that gave the Zags their 6-point edge. After a layup by junior guard Haiden Palmer, Albanez again found nothing but net from beyond the arc.
Missouri State would battle back and tie the game at 27-27 with 4:27 remaining before intermission but the layup by the Lady Bears Hannah Wilkerson - which tied the game - was the last points they would score the rest of the half.
Gonzaga then used an all-important 14-0 run to close out the half and hold the double-digit lead. The Bulldogs forced the Lady Bears to turn the ball over three times down the stretch and miss five shots.
The Zag run saw four players score, including Albanez and junior Jazmine Redmon who each nailed a 3-pointer; the third for both in the first.
Albanez finished with 15 points in the first and Redmon chipped in nine.
Gonzaga continued to increase its lead steadily in the final half, even pushing it to 21 points at 62-41 at 10:45 on a layup by junior Stephanie Golden.
Missouri State mounted a comeback after Golden scored. The Lady Bears used a 10-0 run to slice the Bulldogs lead to 11 at the 8:53 mark and got the lead to 10 two minutes later when a bucket by Christina Shorter put the score at 69-59.
A crucial basket by redshirt freshman Shelby Cheslek, followed by four straight points by Palmer - in the form of a layup and jumper - gave the Zags back some breathing room at 75-59 with 4:02 remaining.
The Lady Bears were only able to get the lead back to 12 down the stretch.
The Zags would hit 6-of-8 free throws in the final 2:25 to seal the victory.
Beside Albanez and Redmon, Palmer and Golden scored in double-figures with 16 and 12, respectively.
Gonzaga closed the game shooting 46.8 percent (26-of-62), including 52.9 percent (9-of-17) on 3-pointers and was 68.4 percent (13-of-19) from the free throw line.
Missouri State (1-2) had three players in double-digits and was led by Whitney Edie with 16 points.
Gonzaga will now play No. 6/6 University of Louisville Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. PT in the second round of the tournament. The Cardinals defeated the University of Central Florida 94-73 earlier Tuesday.

Stander memorably led South Western Districts to a 31-25 victory in the showpiece game at Craven Week in 2008 against the much-fancied Free State side.
'It was an unbelievable moment for all of us and it was something we had all been dreaming of and to achieve our goal of winning was amazing,' recalls Stander.
The loose forward puts the success down to the Young Eagles' morale and knowledge of one another.
'The team spirit within the side was great. We practised a lot together and we had all basically been playing together since U13 level, so we knew each other's strengths and weaknesses.'
The Oakdale Agricultural scholar was then handed the captaincy of a strong SA Schools side. Unfortunately, they were beaten by the SA Academy side and Stander admits the players were disappointed with their efforts.
'Everyone had very high expectations. We wanted to win and put on a good display. It was disappointing to lose, but at the same time, it was a good experience.
'We started out playing as a team, but when things weren't going our way we played more as individuals. We diverted from our game plan and began to play loose and that cost us in the end.'
Stander's performances at Craven Week and with the SA Schools side earned him a contract with the Bull Bulls Rugby Union. The youngster admits it was impossible to turn the offer down.
'I grew up in a Blue Bulls household and it has always been a dream of mine to play for them.
'They are a great union and they look after their young players. I think it's a really good place for a young loose forward to develop.'
Stander has an excellent turn of speed and is a strong ball carrier while he believes one of his greatest strengths is his ability to read the game, much like his role model, Bulls and Springbok No 8 Pierre Spies.
In 2009, Stander hopes to be involved with the SA U20 side that will compete in the Junior World Championship in Japan while at the same time trying to establish himself at the Bulls.
'I know they have some very good loosies, so I'll first be aiming to get into the U19 side, but it would be great if I could move up steadily through the ranks. I'd love to play Vodacom Cup and then Currie Cup rugby.'

I get the feeling Harden will go HAM on us. But also expect Unibrow to put up another 20/10. If Anderson get get hot we're in with a chance.
And don't forget Parsons. Don't need him hitting those 3's like he did against Miami the other night.

Just scrolling thru twitter....Eric Gordon continues to talk about high schoolers commiting to Indiana....Wish he would shut up and fix his knee so we can trade him. That is all...
The dude still wishes he were a Hoosier. Who cares?
Also, the poster just doesn't like Gordon and will find fault in everything he does unless he becomes a consistent first team All-Star player (and will then whine about how he will leave us in a few years like a jilted lover).

Eric Gordon (@TheofficialEG10) tweeted at 4:03 PM on Wed, Nov 14, 2012:
Let's get another big road WIN tonight fellas. Lets get it!!!! #N.O.Hornets
does this make you feel better
this hate on eric gordon for talking about his alma mater have to stop!!! anthony davis talks more about kentucky than he does the hornets on twitter as well; should we look into that as well??
important question!! Will this game be viewable from dish direct tv channels or do i need to go to a bar or something??? Thanks!!!!!
The prospects Eric Gordon are talking about played for his AAU team. He knows them.
I should probably be studying, instead of worrying about Jesuit's chances in the playoffs. But I won't. Just how it is.
Like others have said, we must contest shots tonight. Over 26% of their offensive looks come on spot ups (that's almost 10% more than us).
If there are two things we need to do tonight, it's contest shots and box them out on defense.
Over 26% of their offense comes on spot up shots (nearly 10% more than us, so we have to contest shots but not leave our feet), and they rate 6th in offensive rebounds per game with 13.4, they also allow 12 per game though so hopefully Anthony Davis can take advantage of that.
Gotta love Gordon's random caps LOCK
And for goodness sakes Hornets, please try to take care of the ball!
Ahhh, finally watching my Hornets in peace now that I've got TV back. Looking forward to this game. GEAUX HORNETS

Club competitions
National team competitions
Italian coach Carlo Recalcati and his team are holding their heads high despite coming up short in reaching their goal.
Yesterday's 74-66 loss to Croatia in the Elimination Round knocked Italy out of the tournament. As a result, the Italians failed to qualify for the quarter-finals for the first time since 2001 and will not come close to duplicating their bronze medal performance in EuroBasket 2003 or silver medal finish at last year's Olympics.
Croatia dominated the paint and played stingy fourth quarter defense to beat Italy 74-66 in Podgorica and earn a spot in the quarterfinals.
Italy couldn't buy a basket in the fourth quarter and Croatia's decisive edge in rebounding and points in the paint contributed to their third win of EuroBasket 2005.
Croatia's young and talented team takes on an experienced Italy this evening in Podgorica for the right to advance to the quarter-finals.
Croatia and Italy, two squads with stark differences in style and team make-up will tip-off at 18:00 local time at the Moraca Sports Center.
Four Italians scored in double figures as Italy beat Ukraine 99-62 on Sunday at the 2005 EuroBasket to keep alive their chances of repeating their bronze medal from 2003.
Dante Calabria led all scorers with 20 points, while Alex Righetti had 19, Massimo Bulleri added 14 and Denis Marconato chipped in 12. Italy collected their second win in Group A, but thanks to Germany's win over Russia, finished in third place in the group and will have to travel to Podgorica to play an elimination game against Croatia.

RYAN VREDE writes the Springboks regressed dreadfully on attack and defence and they are now even further from their goal of overhauling the All Blacks as the pre-eminent team in the game.
Having watched the Springboks run in six tries against Australia at Loftus, I wrote last week that their defensive showing was far more impressive. I said this because it is the bedrock upon which sustained success against the game's elite is built.
The Springboks end the Rugby Championship having conceded 10 tries in their six Tests. To put that into context, the Blacks (the best defensive side in the competition) conceded six. The Boks' defensive effort today was woeful, missing 12 tackles, crucially half of those coming in their own 22m.
For the first try Jaco Taute's failed touch-finder presented the Blacks with a broken field opportunity, the kind they relish, and they were duly punished. There was criticism of Bryan Habana for the second try, but that criticism should have been of his failure to make the hit, not that he pushed out of line in an attempt to do so. There was a three-man overlap. It was the right decision.
Straight after the restart the Blacks were at it again, Taute this time missing his hit in midfield. The Boks were all at sea for the fourth, made to look like rank amateurs.
If the Boks want to become the force they envision, a start would be that no side should come to South Africa and score four tries. Not even the Blacks.
They can draw confidence that there aren't terminal flaws in their defensive system. There were soft tries in Dunedin and Perth before this. In this youthful team's short time together they will have already learned that at this level the margin for error is fine, with victory and defeat potentially resting on a single error. They cannot continue to make these mistakes.
The addition of Francois Louw certainly helped their defensive effort. However, the Springboks didn't win nearly enough of the gainline battles to amplify Louw's potency in this area tonight. They started promisingly enough, but a sustained effort is what was required. With elite teams so sophisticated in this discipline, the opportunities created from pressure defence will account for more of their scores than intricately worked moves will.
On attack it was a frustratingly familiar story. There were once again missed opportunities, but not enough to have altered the result.
The Blacks out-thought, out-muscled and out-mongrelled them at the breakdown, never allowing them to get any flow or tempo into their attacking game. The legality of some of those ruck steals or recycle slows was questionable, but Test rugby is often a street fight, and today the Boks brought a plastic baton.
Their brute force in contact will win some games against weaker opponents than the Blacks in the years ahead, but there needs to be a greater coaching focus on intelligence going into the contact area and awareness when in the tackle. This was the standout feature of the Blacks' attacking play this evening. Where the Boks' carriers look to steamroll their way through a tackle, the Blacks attack the space either side of a defender so well, allowing them to free their hands and have the option of an offload. The support play for that option is never lacking, and herein lies a valuable lesson for the Boks.
The Blacks are the benchmark for this Bok team and this evening they looked impostors to their throne. The log reflects a 14-point different between the teams, but the gap is much more vast and will continue to grow if the Boks don't address pressing issues with great urgency.

Keeping Faith
Keeping Faith (Paperback)
One of America's most powerful and thought-provoking novelists, New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult brilliantly examines belief, miracles, and the complex core of family.
When the marriage of Mariah White and her cheating husband, Colin, turns ugly and disintegrates, their seven-year-old daughter, Faith, is there to witness it all. In the aftermath of a rapid divorce, Mariah falls into a deep depression -- and suddenly Faith, a child with no religious background whatsoever, hears divine voices, starts reciting biblical passages, and develops stigmata.

MISENHEIMER — It might have been a spin move that A.J. Clark used during Christmas break at the Alamance County YMCA in Burlington that came back to stump him this week.
Clark, a freshman point guard for Pfeiffer, went darting toward the lane with the ball Tuesday night. Barton senior Gerald Boston was waiting for him.
The call was an offensive foul on Clark.
"I didn't know he was going to be ready for it," Clark said.
Several weeks removed from a collection of past and present college players gathering for some holiday pick-up hoops in Burlington, here was the scene in a Division II college gym: An all-Burlington point guard matchup in the Conference Carolinas.
Boston scored 30 points, so his first-place Barton team got the best of Clark and last-place Pfeiffer, winning 73-62 at Merner Gym on the Pfeiffer campus.
"He crushed us," Clark said of Boston, who gave Clark an affectionate tap on the head as the players went through the postgame handshake line. "He got in the lane. He did all the things you do as a point guard. I look up to him. Maybe when I'm a senior, I can make plays like that."
Boston is a former Williams High School standout who continues to do big things for Barton (16-5 overall, 11-4 Conference Carolinas). Clark, a year ago completing a stellar senior season for Western Alamance, is on board to attempt to revive Pfeiffer (3-20, 1-15).
Boston shot 10-for-15 from the field, including 4 of 4 on 3-pointers. He was 6-for-6 on free throws, collecting a game-best eight rebounds.
Clark, who has started 18 of the past 20 games, finished with nine points on 4-for-7 shooting along with a game-high five assists.
And a busted lip.
But it wasn't as if Boston and his Barton friends were targeting Clark.
"I wouldn't say picked on," Boston said. "I went through the same thing when I was a freshman. He's going to be special, too."
The Boston / Clark matchup had its moments. Pfeiffer began the game in a 1-3-1 zone, and Boston opened the scoring with a 3-pointer. Boston was guarding Clark at the outset.
During an early stretch, Clark was rushed in transition and the ball rolled off the rim as he tumbled past the baseline. Boston scored in transition at the other end.
Shortly after, Clark drew the assignment on Boston in a man-to-man set-up, stealing the ball from Boston and notching his first assist.
Then came Boston drawing the aforementioned charge on Clark.
With the game at 20-20, Boston drained a 3-pointer as beginning of a 12-0 spurt for the Bulldogs. Before long, Clark had picked up another offensive foul and went to the bench with a blood-spewing lip.
By the game's 6:46 mark, Boston's drive toward the lane resulted in Clark's fourth foul.
"He did some good things," Clark said. "We really were going to try to stop him."
Clark drove on Boston for a basket to close the gap to 60-50 before Barton put the finishing touches on the outcome.
Bostonand Clarkwere in the Mid-State Magic's Amateur Athletic Union program together under coach Rod Cousin's guidance. Boston played in an older group.
Clark suited up as a Western Alamance freshman, losing twice to a Boston-led Williams team that season. Barton scrapped past Pfeiffer 76-68 last month in Wilson, when Clark posted 19 points to go with seven turnovers and Boston supplied 13 points and eight assists.
So on the high school and college stages …
"He's 4-0 against me," Clark said. "I can't say that about many people back home."
Boston, a preseason Division II All-American who reached the 30-point mark for the third time this season, said he encouraged Clark to consider playing for Barton.
"He wanted to start his own legacy," Boston said. "Not too many people have his speed."
Pfeiffer's one-senior roster might be contributing the Falcons' struggles. Clark said he knows how Boston has helped steer Barton into the national rankings, albeit several years after a national championship.
"They didn't get this bad, but then they got better," Clark said.
That's the course Clark said he envisions for Pfeiffer.
"We hit the wall, basically," he said. "We're young and inexperienced. That's not an excuse because we're all basketball players. We all have to stay level-headed because it's tough times. Sometimes it seems like we've never played before.
"It's a learning experience. It definitely wasn't like last year where I would go into a gym and know I could get 25. I have to work on consistency."

Richlands' Jamar Harrington has shown what it means to be a team player, which is a reason why the senior running back/cornerback is The Daily News football player of the week.
Having expected to be the Wildcats' starting quarterback for the second consecutive year, Harrington was instead moved to fullback before the season after an injury he suffered in a scrimmage. He didn't complain or mope about not being a quarterback, coach Justin Snider said.
Rather, Harrington went about things the right way. He knew what was best for the team.
"Jamar handled the adjustment really well," Snider said. "Jamar is one of the kids who is real soft-spoken. We just talked to him about it. He really didn't care. He just wanted to play football."
And that's all Harrington wants to do. He doesn't care what position he plays as long as he sees the field and helps the Wildcats (2-2), who visit Jones Senior (0-4) tonight in a nonconference game.
"I just try to play the game," said Harrington, who rushed for 220 yards and a touchdown last week in a 31-6 win at South Lenoir.
A true football player, indeed, the 17-year-old Harrington has become this season.
He showed that in the Wildcats' 35-7 win over Croatan last month, not necessarily with his carries but with his blocking. At fullback, he helped open huge holes for tailback Ethan Horne to rush for 123 yards and two touchdowns. Harrington had 68 yards rushing and a touchdown that game as well.
"He had the night of his life as a blocker," Snider said. "He played the most selfless game I've seen."
But last Friday might have been Harrington's career game in terms of numbers.
Of his 220 yards rushing against South Lenoir, 52 came on a touchdown run. He also had three catches for 48 yards and an 18-yard scoring reception to lead the Wildcats. It was a game that saw Harrington move from fullback to tailback because of injuries.
Talk about a breakthrough game for Harrington, who last year threw for 415 yards and six touchdowns and ran for 507 yards and three more scores.
"Jamar has extraordinary vision," Snider. "He makes people miss. He just played outside of his mind the other night."
But talk to Harrington and he will tell you that he couldn't have done it alone.
"Thanks to the linemen and the people blocking for me," he said.
Spoken like a true team player.
Now for the panel
The Daily News sports page designer Mike Boaz still leads the JDN high school football forecasting panel at 28-4 after he went 8-1 last week.
Halifax Media regional desk chief Richard Clark (8-1 last week) and JDN sports editor Rick Scoppe are second at 25-7. Scoppe actually went 7-2 last week, but picked the correct score in Southwest's 27-14 win over Swansboro to earn an extra win.
I went 8-1 while WCTI-12 sports anchor Brian North went 6-3. We are tied at 24-8.

Q:I used a small amount of this the other day (roughly pearl-sized) and didn't find it very effective. Considering I have extremely long hair, how much of this product should I be using?Asked on 4/30/2015 by Endlessly from Minnesota
3 answers
A:You will likely need more than a pearl-sized amount. Make sure the places on your roots that you find greasy are covered, and massage it into the hair from there.Answered on 5/6/2015 by Sal
A:You have to use much more than a pearl size. Be generous with it. It is very effective if used correctly. I sprinkle it in my hands and them start from my scalp and work my way around until the get through my entire head. This usually take 3-4 times......FYI - you do not need to go all the way to the end of your hair. It's mostly your scalp that you want to treat.....Answered on 5/1/2015 by Anonymous
I have shoulder length hair and I use more than that amount. I just
sprinkle a pretty good amount in the palm of my hand, rub my hands together
to distribute more evenly over both hands and fingers and rub it on my
scalp. I find that it absorbs oil and smells nice.
Hope that helps.Answered on 4/30/2015 by Anonymous

A:No Drought is preservative free! The expiry date on this is not set in stone, its a self-preserving product. I'm sure a couple weeks after the expiry is okay, just don't take liberties and use it years after we recommend stopping.Answered on 3/22/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
A:I personally would still use it. It doesn't have any sort of liquid product in it, it's just powder, so I wouldn't think that it'd really "expire," but more along the lines of just a "best by" date. If you use it and don't like the way it feels or you feel like it's not doing what it should, then get rid of it.Answered on 2/19/2015 by Ami from Topeka, KS

Q:I know this is odd to ask but it occurred to me that I LOVE the scent and was wondering if this could ever be used as a dusting powder?Asked on 9/28/2014 by Kaitlin from New York
2 answers
A:Not an odd, but inspired idea! The No Drought Dry Shampoo can totally be used as a dusting powder. It has that intoxicating scent and is a great powder. My only suggestion would be to use a make up brush to apply the No Drought as a dusting powder. It is a little thicker than a regular dusting powder with just an overall different feel. So use a make up brush to help evenly spread the powder until you have a real feel for how light or heavy it feels and how you like it.
Good luck with your inspired idea!

1 answer
A:If you would like to use a curling iron after no drought, that is entirely up to you! This should not have an effect on the properties of the shampoo itself. I myself use a curling iron after shampooing with LUSH products, and it does not change the effects of those wonderful ingredients.Answered on 11/28/2013 by Anonymous

A:No Drought is meant to absorb some oils, but it won't replace a full shampooing all together. It's more meant to just extend the time between washes a little bit, but if you're finding the hair is still oily, then it's time for a full shampoo.Answered on 6/12/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:Does this product work for those with darker hair? I have thick semi-wavy black hair.Asked on 2/21/2012 by LeslieK^A from Riverside, CA
10 answers
A:I have dark, dark brown hair (nearly black) and it works well for me. If I'm feeling particularly self-conscious about the powder showing, I mix a tiny bit of cocoa powder in with the No Drought to darken it up. Also, if you're unsure about committing to buy it, I would suggest trying it in the store (if you can) or even using a similarly colored/textured item to test it out! For this, I'd say a little bit of powdered sugar would be a reasonable substitute - just to check on the color, that is.Answered on 7/11/2012 by Alyssa S. from Portland, OR
A:It does work on darker hair but I would recommend if you have dark hair to keep a natural bristle brush handy. Put some No Drought in your hair, as close to the roots as possible then let it sit for a couple of minutes (while you brush your teeth or something) then comb out the area you put the product with the natural bristle brush. Hope this helps!Answered on 3/3/2012 by Jenni from Salt Lake City, UT
A:Yes, you may just want to use a little bit less of the product, and be very careful to ensure it is completely brushed through.Answered on 2/23/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:If your wondering if it leaves a gray like color on your hair, it doesnt bc i have dark brown hair and i use it. Now if your wondering if it removes the excess oil properly then I have to say that it depends on the amount of product you use (more is better).Answered on 2/24/2012 by MD CP from Santo Domingo
A:Yes it does! I have blackish-brown hair and use this couple times a week. Massage it into your scalp and then brush your hair well--that's what works for me.Answered on 3/9/2012 by Lush Lover from Indiana
A:It might make it slightly grey. However, that is just blending it with your hands. If you want maximum blending, use a bristle brush. It should be fine then.Answered on 3/13/2012 by Tim from Virginia
A:i can't give a definite answer for your hair style since mine is brown, thin and straight. but for me i get absolutely none.Answered on 4/13/2012 by M.R. from Brick, NJ
A:It does work on darker hair - I have very dark brown, almost black, hair. You will have to do a little more brushing or rubbing to get it to blend in, but it does eventually disappear. I read a review from someone that said she wouldn't suggest it for dark CLEAN hair, because it needs something to soak it up, but I have used this product many times with success.Answered on 4/19/2012 by probablyjess from St. Louis, MO
A:I have chestnut brown hair and it seems to work fine. You have to be very gentle when sprinkling it on so that you don't dump it all in one spot and once you brush through, it isn't noticeable. It works much better than any other dry shampoo I've used.Answered on 4/24/2012 by Spaceymacy101 from The Woodlands, TX
A:I have dark brown hair and can use this product. I do notice a difference in the shade of my hair on days I use it, but it's not obvious and doesn't look bad.Answered on 5/30/2012 by EmmiDahling from York, PA
Q:I'm not quite sure how to use this product and I think I did it wrong the first time because it wasn't very evenly distributed maybe. Can you give more detailed instrucions? I have baby fine, medium length hair if that makes a difference.Asked on 2/20/2012 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Brush your hair first, making sure it's free of tangles. Then distribute a light dusting of the No Drought evenly through the hair and shake it through to ensure coverage. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, so it can absorb sebum from the hair. Finally, brush through the hair again to remove the powder. Voila! Fresh hair once more!Answered on 2/21/2012 by Megan from LUSH

A:Since you only need a very light dusting of No Drought for each use, you should be able to get many, many uses out of one bottle. It will vary person to person based on how often it is used and how much is used on each application.Answered on 2/17/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:Really depends on frequency of use. I only use about three puffs of the stuff. So, it could go quite a long way! Plus, it is better than all the other dry shampoos out there (I have tried quite a few!)Answered on 2/19/2012 by Amelia from Seattle, WA

Blown away by their quality
I was initially attracted to magnet street because of their uniquely designed photo magnet save the dates. I ordered a large order from Magnet Street's website for my wedding that included magnet save the dates, RSVP post cards, my wedding invitations and several other products. When I received the shipment I could not have been more pleased with the quality of the stationary, the crisp clarity of the photos in the save the dates and the beautiful presentation of all of it.

Context Delirium is a common and serious complication in elderly patients. Evidence suggests that delirium is associated with long-term poor outcome but delirium often occurs in individuals with more severe underlying disease.
Objective To assess the association between delirium in elderly patients and long-term poor outcome, defined as mortality, institutionalization, or dementia, while controlling for important confounders.
Data Sources A systematic search of studies published between January 1981 and April 2010 was conducted using the databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL.
Study Selection Observational studies of elderly patients with delirium as a study variable and data on mortality, institutionalization, or dementia after a minimum follow-up of 3 months, and published in the English or Dutch language. Titles, abstracts, and articles were reviewed independently by 2 of the authors. Of 2939 references in the original search, 51 relevant articles were identified.
Data Extraction Information on study design, characteristics of the study population, and outcome were extracted. Quality of studies was assessed based on elements of the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist for cohort studies.
Data Synthesis The primary analyses included only high-quality studies with statistical control for age, sex, comorbid illness or illness severity, and baseline dementia. Pooled-effect estimates were calculated with random-effects models. The primary analysis with adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) showed that delirium is associated with an increased risk of death compared with controls after an average follow-up of 22.7 months (7 studies; 271/714 patients [38.0%] with delirium, 616/2243 controls [27.5%]; HR, 1.95 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.51-2.52]; I2, 44.0%). Moreover, patients who had experienced delirium were also at increased risk of institutionalization (7 studies; average follow-up, 14.6 months; 176/527 patients [33.4%] with delirium and 219/2052 controls [10.7%]; odds ratio [OR], 2.41 [95% CI, 1.77-3.29]; I2, 0%) and dementia (2 studies; average follow-up, 4.1 years; 35/56 patients [62.5%] with delirium and 15/185 controls [8.1%]; OR, 12.52 [95% CI, 1.86-84.21]; I2, 52.4%). The sensitivity, trim-and-fill, and secondary analyses with unadjusted high-quality risk estimates stratified according to the study characteristics confirmed the robustness of these results.
Conclusion This meta-analysis provides evidence that delirium in elderly patients is associated with poor outcome independent of important confounders, such as age, sex, comorbid illness or illness severity, and baseline dementia.
Delirium is a syndrome of acutely altered mental status characterized by inattention and a fluctuating course.1 With occurrence rates of up to half of older patients postoperatively, and even higher in elderly patients admitted to intensive care units, delirium is the most common complication in hospitalized older people.2- 4 Delirium causes distress to patients and caregivers, has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and is a major burden to health care services in terms of expenditures.5
Numerous studies have addressed the long-term prognosis of older individuals who experienced delirium during hospitalization. The evidence that these studies provide is not entirely consistent (eg, older patients with delirium experienced increased long-term mortality in one study,6 but not in another7). Elements of study design, such as delirium and outcome ascertainment and time to follow-up, may affect conclusions. Whether delirium independently contributes to poor outcome or merely represents a marker of underlying disease is especially relevant. The long-term detrimental sequelae of delirium are difficult to disentangle from the effects of specific characteristics of the study population, such as the extent of medical illness and the presence or absence of dementia.
These issues preclude drawing reliable conclusions regarding the long-term prognosis after delirium, which could be instrumental in assessing the value of prevention and treatment8 and in counseling patients and caregivers. Therefore, we systematically reviewed and summarized data regarding the risk of long-term poor outcome (defined as mortality, institutionalization, or dementia) after delirium. Our main objective was to assess the association between delirium and long-term poor outcomes in elderly patients while controlling for important confounders.
We followed the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines.9 We conducted a comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases for studies published between January 1981 and April 2010. We started our search in January 1981 because a formal nomenclature that differentiates delirium from dementia was first established with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Third Edition) in 1980.10 Search key words for delirium (ie, delirium, confusion, acute confusional state, acute confusional syndrome) were cross-referenced to citations pertinent to outcome (ie, mortality, prognos*, predict*, course). Studies that met each of the following criteria were considered eligible: (1) mean or median age of the study population of 65 years or older; (2) delirium as a study variable; (3) presentation of quantitative data (ie, event rates, odds ratios [ORs] or hazard ratios [HRs]) reflecting the association between delirium and outcome (ie, mortality, institutionalization, or dementia); (4) hospital or postacute care setting; and (5) follow-up assessment at 3 months or later. Searches were restricted to articles published in the English or Dutch language. Articles were excluded if they recruited (1) delirium patients only and no controls; (2) homogeneous populations of terminally ill patients (eg, patients with end-stage cancer); and (3) homogeneous populations of patients with central nervous system disease (eg, only patients with stroke or Parkinson disease). After exclusion of case studies and case series, the database searches identified 2939 articles. Reviews were hand searched for additional references but yielded no additional articles. Title and abstract review of all articles was completed by 3 of the authors (J.W., L.S.M.E., W.A.vG.). Full reports of 162 potentially relevant articles were independently reviewed by at least 2 investigators (J.W., L.S.M.E., W.A.vG.) to establish eligibility according to the inclusion criteria.
A standardized, piloted data extraction form was used for recording information. Data extraction was completed by 3 of the authors (J.W., L.S.M.E., W.A.vG.) using the following approach. For the primary analyses, we obtained statistically adjusted ORs and HRs with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and noted the type of statistical adjustment (ie, the variables that were examined as possible covariates in relation with the outcomes of interest). For the secondary analyses, we extracted the number of events relative to the total number of participants in the delirium and control groups (ie, event rates). Because of our interest in the long-term outcomes after delirium, we preferentially extracted event rates that considered only postdischarge mortality and incident cases of institutionalization (or dementia). Therefore, if specified, event rates for mortality were corrected for death during the index hospitalization and event rates for institutionalization (and dementia) were corrected for baseline rates of institutionalization (or dementia).
Study populations were characterized as surgical, medical, or mixed and the following information was recorded: primary author, publication year, country of origin, study design, criteria for delirium and dementia ascertainment, duration of follow-up, average or median age, and (if applicable) the proportion of in-hospital mortality, baseline institutionalization, and dementia. Additional information such as separate event rates for patients with and without dementia were requested from 33 authors and 26 authors responded. Disagreement between reviewers during the selection and extraction process was resolved through consensus.
To limit heterogeneity resulting from differences in study design, we only included high-quality articles in the primary and secondary analyses. Lesser-quality articles were not included in any of our analyses. The quality of the studies was assessed based on elements from the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist for cohort studies.11 High-quality articles were defined as studies that diagnosed delirium prospectively, as opposed to, for example, retrospective chart review, and used a validated method for delirium ascertainment.
Studies were included in the primary analyses only if adequate statistical control was provided to account for the effect of important covariates on the association between delirium and poor outcome. Adequate adjustment was defined as statistical control for the covariables of age, sex, comorbid illness or illness severity, and baseline dementia. We selected these variables because they are risk factors for delirium in elderly patients that can themselves be associated independently with poor outcome.2,5
Secondary analyses were performed on a much larger sample of studies to examine the robustness of results from our primary analyses. In these secondary analyses, the studies' unadjusted ORs were stratified according to source of the study population, age (<80 years vs ≥80 years), country of origin (United States vs Europe), length of follow-up, and whether individuals who were institutionalized or had dementia were included in the study population.
Finally, an exploratory secondary analysis was conducted to specifically examine the association of baseline dementia with the long-term prognosis after delirium. This analysis was performed using studies that allowed separate calculation of effect estimates among homogeneous populations of individuals with and without dementia.
Mortality, institutionalization, and dementia were examined as separate outcomes. In primary analyses, we pooled adjusted ORs and HRs across all studies based on the extracted risk estimates and corresponding 95% CIs. In secondary analyses, we combined ORs and 95% CIs that we recalculated based on event rates in the delirium and control groups.12 If recalculation was not possible, the reported unadjusted ORs and 95% CIs were used.
Each study contributed only 1 effect size per analysis. If data were duplicated between studies, the largest study was used. If studies reported data on several follow-up assessments, we included only data from the latest follow-up. If necessary, different subgroups (eg, based on age) were combined to create 1 estimate per study.
The pooled ORs and HRs were calculated as the weighted average and weighting was assigned according to the inverse of the variance. An OR or HR greater than 1 indicates an increased risk of an outcome among delirium patients compared with controls. The I2 statistic was used to examine the heterogeneity of effect sizes in the overall aggregations. The I2 values of 25% or less indicate low heterogeneity, values near 50% indicate moderate heterogeneity, and values near 75% or greater indicate high heterogeneity.13 Unless otherwise specified, random-effects models were used in all analyses.14 Fixed-effects models were only used in sensitivity analyses that examined if these models yielded similar results.
Publication bias was evaluated with a combination of 2 funnel plot–based methods: the Egger regression asymmetry test15 to investigate funnel plot asymmetry and the trim-and-fill method16 to estimate the number of missing studies and to calculate a corrected OR as if these studies were present. Because 5 studies are usually too few to detect an asymmetrical funnel, only aggregated analyses with more than 5 studies were subjected to trim-and-fill analysis.17 The effect of potential outliers was examined by comparing the pooled estimate with estimates obtained after iterations using k − 1 findings. Studies were treated as statistical outliers when the k − 1 estimate produced a 95% CI that did not overlap with the 95% CI of the aggregated estimate.
Sensitivity analyses were performed on our primary and secondary data sets to examine if risk estimates using postdischarge mortality only (excluding in-hospital or postacute care deaths) provided a more conservative estimate of the association between delirium and mortality and if the strength of the relationship between delirium and institutionalization was affected by including only risk estimates that were based on incident cases of institutionalization. Furthermore, we performed a sensitivity analysis to examine if studies that used different methods to diagnose baseline dementia (eg, chart review) and incident dementia at follow-up (eg, cognitive testing) overestimated the association between delirium and dementia. Studies with the same method to diagnose dementia at baseline and follow-up and that thus included only incident cases of dementia were pooled in these analyses.
Statistical analyses were performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (Englewood, New Jersey) version 2.2.048. P values of less than .05 were considered statistically significant.
Our literature search yielded 2939 articles, of which we identified 162 for further review. Fifty-one studies met our inclusion criteria (see eTable 1, eTable 2, and eTable 3). Most excluded studies lacked either follow-up assessment, sufficient data to extract a risk estimate, a control group, or original data. Of the 51 studies that met our inclusion criteria, 9 studies18- 26 did not satisfy our quality criteria and were not included in the primary or secondary analyses (Figure 1).
Of the remaining 42 high-quality studies,6,7,27- 66 23 studies6,7,27- 30,32,34,35,40,41,44,45,48,51,52,55,56,60,61,63- 65 reported statistically adjusted effect estimates for the outcome of mortality and 16 studies6,7,27,29,30,32,35,40,41,45,48,51,52,60,63,65 fulfilled criteria for adequate adjustment. Four studies27,29,30,48 did not report sufficient information to extract an adjusted risk estimate for the latest follow-up assessment. The remaining 12 studies6,7,32,35,40,41,45,51,52,60,63,65 provided 7 HRs and 7 ORs for the primary analysis of the association between delirium and mortality. Eight studies6,7,30,32,40,43,61,63 reported adjusted ORs for the association between delirium and institutionalization, of which 7 studies6,7,30,32,40,43,63 were adequately adjusted and provided 9 ORs for the primary analysis. Three studies presented adjusted ORs for the dementia outcome, of which 2 studies32,54 were adequately adjusted and their ORs are included in our primary analysis.
For the secondary analyses with unadjusted ORs, 38 studies6,7,27,29,31- 37,39- 56,58- 66 provided 40 ORs on mortality, 18 studies6,7,30,32,33,37,40,42,43,46,47,49,55,57,61- 63,66 provided 20 ORs on institutionalization, and 6 studies32,41,47,49,54,65 provided 6 ORs on dementia. In 2 instances, ORs were recalculated based on the data supplied by the authors because nursing home residents had been excluded6,63 and data had been provided on a substantially larger sample.48 Four sets of studies28- 30,38,52,54,57 reported data on the same group of patients; the studies that reported postdischarge mortality54 or presented data of the largest sample29,30,52 were included.
In our exploratory secondary analyses, we examined to what extent baseline dementia affected the association between delirium and poor outcome. A total of 18 studies6,27,28,35,37- 39,41,43,45,47- 49,59,62,63,65,66 provided 18 ORs on mortality and 5 ORs on institutionalization in a homogeneous population of individuals with dementia, and 17 ORs on mortality and 6 ORs on institutionalization in a homogeneous population of individuals without dementia. Descriptive information regarding the studies that were included from each analysis is listed in eTables 1-3 and information on excluded studies is listed in eTable 4.
The primary analysis of adequately adjusted HRs included a total of 2957 participants. After a mean (SD) follow-up of 22.7 (15.5) months (range, 3-48 months) in 7 studies, 271 of 714 patients with delirium (38%) had an increased risk of death compared with 616 of 2243 controls (27.5%) (HR, 1.95 [95% CI, 1.51-2.52]; I2, 44.0%; Figure 2). There was no evidence of publication bias according to the Egger regression asymmetry test (β = 0.16; P = .94) or the trim-and-fill method and outliers were not identified. The aggregated analysis of adequately adjusted ORs included a total of 2066 participants and also showed a significant association between delirium and mortality after a mean (SD) follow-up of 11.4 (14.0) months (range, 3-38 months) in 183 of 483 participants with delirium (37.9%) vs 316 of 1583 controls (20.0%) (OR, 1.71 [95% CI, 1.27-2.30]; I2, 0%). No evidence of publication bias (Egger β = −0.37; P = .43) or outliers was found.
Analyses of the association between delirium and mortality, institutionalization, and dementia adjusted for age, sex, comorbid illness or illness severity, and baseline dementia. CI indicates confidence interval. Weighting was assigned according to the inverse of the variance. Hazard ratios and odds ratios larger than 1 indicate increased risk of mortality, institutionalization, or dementia among participants who experienced delirium.
A sensitivity analysis with adjusted HRs showed that the association between delirium and death remained significant when only studies for which postdischarge mortality could be determined were included (Table 1). Secondary analyses with unadjusted ORs (see the eFigure) were consistent with the results of the primary analyses. Additional stratified analyses with these unadjusted data revealed that excess mortality was present among patients who had experienced delirium regardless of the source of the study population, inclusion of nursing home residents or individuals with dementia, age, country of origin, and follow-up time (see eTable 5).
Our exploratory secondary analysis showed that the association of delirium with mortality persisted independent of preexisting dementia. Delirium remained significantly associated with mortality when 222 of 643 patients with delirium superimposed on dementia (34.5%) were compared with 135 of 564 patients with dementia only (23.9%) (OR, 1.75 [95% CI, 1.30-2.36]; I2, 0.7%), and when 168 of 575 patients with delirium only (29.2%) were compared with 266 of 1620 patients with neither delirium nor dementia (16.4%) (OR, 2.36 [95% CI, 1.82-3.05]; I2, 2.1%; Table 2).
The primary analysis of adjusted ORs included 2579 participants in 7 studies. Delirium was associated with an increased risk of institutionalization after a mean (SD) follow-up of 14.6 (12.0) months (range, 3-38 months) in 176 of 527 participants with delirium (33.4%) vs 219 of 2052 controls (10.7%) (OR, 2.41 [95% CI, 1.77-3.29]; I2, 0%; (Figure 2). No evidence of publication bias was identified using the Egger regression asymmetry test (β = 0.45; P = .65) but the trim-and-filled method simulated 1 missing study (OR, 2.32 [95% CI, 1.69-3.21]). No evidence of outliers was found. A sensitivity analysis showed that the association between delirium and institutionalization remained when only cases who had not resided in an institution at baseline were considered (Table 1).
Secondary analyses with unadjusted ORs produced similar results (see the eFigure). Additional stratified analyses with unadjusted ORs showed that higher rates of institutionalization were present among individuals who experienced delirium regardless of the source of the study population (ie, inclusion of individuals with dementia, age, country of origin, and follow-up time; see eTable 5).
Our exploratory secondary analyses showed that delirium remained significantly associated with institutionalization when 80 of 174 patients with delirium superimposed on dementia (46.0%) were compared with 42 of 208 patients with dementia only (20.2%) (OR, 2.55 [95% CI, 1.56-4.18]; I2, 0%), but the association was not significant when 24 of 108 patients with delirium only (22.2%) were compared with 29 of 237 patients with neither delirium nor dementia (12.2%) (OR, 3.25 [95% CI, 0.85-12.45]; I2, 66.5%), although the number of patients in these study categories were small and power was limited (Table 2).
The primary analysis of adequately adjusted ORs summarized the results of 2 studies and included 241 participants. Thirty-five of 56 patients with delirium (62.5%) had an increased risk of dementia at follow-up compared with 15 of 185 controls (8.1%) after 3.2 and 5.0 years of follow-up (OR, 12.52 [95% CI, 1.86-84.21]; I2, 52.4%; Figure 2). Because only 2 studies were available for this primary analysis of adjusted risk estimates, no sensitivity or trim-and-fill analyses were performed. The secondary analysis confirmed the results of the primary analysis and showed that the association remained significant when only incident cases of dementia (from studies that had the same method of ascertainment at baseline and follow-up) were included (see eTable 5).
The results of this meta-analysis provide evidence that delirium in elderly patients is associated with an increased risk of death, institutionalization, and dementia, independent of age, sex, comorbid illness or illness severity, and presence of dementia at baseline. Moreover, our stratified models confirm that this association persists when excluding studies that included in-hospital deaths and patients residing in an institution at baseline.
The results of this meta-analysis can be instrumental in patient care. The low rate of survival and the high rates of institutionalization and dementia indicate that older people who experience delirium should be considered an especially vulnerable population (see Figure 3 and Table 2). The results of this meta-analysis gain special clinical relevance considering that delirium in some cases can be prevented.8 However, once delirium is present, management of delirium has not been found to improve long-term mortality or need for institutional care.67 Thus, identifying patients at high risk for delirium and implementing strategies aimed at preventing delirium may help to avert some of the delirium–associated poor outcomes these patients experience.
Based on mortality rates among patients that experienced delirium during hospitalization from studies listed in the eFigure. Circles are proportional to study size and depict the proportion of surviving individuals. For specified periods, aggregated weighted estimates for survival are depicted by a horizontal line with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (gray area). For example, 2 to 4 years after delirium, 45% of individuals are still alive.
This, to our knowledge, is the first study to systematically summarize the risk of poor outcome in elderly patients who experienced delirium. We used a comprehensive search strategy and systematic review method, following recommendations from the MOOSE guidelines.9 In our meta-analysis, we limited heterogeneity and potential sources of bias by including only high-quality studies in elderly patients in the hospital or postacute care settings, excluding population studies. We identified high-quality studies using individual methodological aspects because summary scores to identify trials of high quality can be problematic.68 Furthermore, our approach subdivided poor outcome into several categories, thereby avoiding potential heterogeneity that may arise when a single summary estimate is used. Our primary analyses controlled for selected covariates that may influence the association between delirium and poor outcome. We also performed secondary analyses of unadjusted effect estimates and demonstrated that the associations persisted regardless of the study population, the inclusion of nursing home residents or patients with dementia, age, country of origin, and time of follow-up. Heterogeneity, potential outliers, and publication bias were examined and were not responsible for the associations identified.
There are several methodological limitations to our study. Given the nature of delirium, all studies in our meta-analysis are observational; diverse study designs and patient characteristics make interpretation of aggregated estimates challenging and causality cannot be inferred.9 Nevertheless, delirium was associated with poor outcomes even after controlling for important covariates. Moreover, heterogeneity was low to moderate in the analyses of longer-term outcomes, suggesting that variations in findings are compatible with chance alone and not likely to be caused by genuine differences between studies.13
In our meta-analysis, studies were pooled irrespective of their definition of delirium. In most studies, delirium was diagnosed by experts based on criteria derived from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders1,10,69,70; thus, broadly similar methods were used. With regard to the ascertainment of dementia, more variety was present. For instance, because of the high prevalence of delirium at hospital admission,71 evaluation of cognitive function based on patient interviews may have overestimated the number of participants with preexisting dementia. Although no significant heterogeneity emerged when we pooled studies that adopted alternative definitions of delirium or dementia, differences in case ascertainment may have introduced some random error.
Only a small number of studies examined the risk of dementia after delirium. Importantly, sensitivity analyses restricted to incident cases of dementia yielded somewhat more conservative estimates of the association between delirium and dementia. Only 1 study54 provided an adjusted OR based on incident cases, so no meta-analysis could be performed in this most stringent subgroup.
We restricted our search to English- and Dutch-language sources and we did not search gray literature or blind the data abstractors to the data sources. However, we believe that the magnitude and consistency of the observed effects render an important effect of bias unlikely in this respect. Moreover, we rigorously controlled for publication bias and used random-effects models that are generally better suited when studies are only gathered from the published literature.14
Several important clinical findings emerge from our meta-analysis. The persistence of the association between delirium and poor outcome years after the occurrence of delirium and presumably resolution of the precipitating factors suggests that delirium is not merely a marker of underlying disease. This is substantiated by our finding that the increased risk of poor outcome after delirium cannot readily be explained by predisposing factors, such as age, sex, comorbid illness or illness severity, and presence of baseline dementia. Moreover, the results of our stratified analyses suggest that even patients without the given risk factor analyzed experience adverse outcomes after delirium at least as often as do those with the risk factor. This somewhat counterintuitive finding may be because for vulnerable (eg, older, cognitively impaired) patients, relatively mild precipitating factors suffice to precipitate delirium, whereas in relatively healthier patients, a greater insult is required,72 and those kinds of insults may be associated with a poorer long-term prognosis. Alternatively, the long-term detrimental effects of delirium in vulnerable populations may compete with other risks for poor outcome. Furthermore, delirium may be more difficult to detect in patients with dementia, resulting in misclassification and bias toward the null.
A number of potential explanations for the observed association between delirium and poor outcome can be hypothesized. Delirium may persist and a protracted course of delirium may contribute to increased morbidity and complications, exemplified by the association between delirium and the new concept of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.73 In turn, the increased morbidity and complications may lead to poor outcome.74 Persistence of symptoms can also be an indication that the underlying medical illness is still active or has deteriorated during the follow-up period. Alternatively, the factors that precipitated delirium may incite a detrimental sequence of events in the brain. Through overactivation of microglia and an aberrant stress response, the resulting uncontrolled neuroinflammation, elevation of cortisol levels, and neurotransmitter imbalances can persist for months, reducing the threshold for new episodes of delirium and potentially causing prolongation of neuropsychiatric symptoms.75,76
Delirium is a serious and common neuropsychiatric syndrome that may markedly affect outcome and long-term prognosis of elderly patients. Future studies will have to establish what exact mechanisms are responsible for the long-term poor outcomes after delirium and whether clinical characteristics of delirium itself (eg, duration or subtype) differentially influence prognosis. Moreover, clinical trials are needed to investigate whether the long-term sequelae associated with delirium can be averted.

Lugod Takes Opening Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo Win At El Toro
IRVINE, Calif. (April 9, 2013) – The Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo season opened last weekend with the first of three consecutive events, and for the fifth time in six seasons got the season underway at El Toro Airfield. Jonathan Lugod, of Oceanside, Calif., escaped the weekend with his first ProSolo Super Challenge victory.
The popular Southern California site uses the abandoned runways of the decommissioned Marine Corp Air Station, combined with the taxiways, for flowing, fast courses. That continued in 2013, with many classes running laps comfortably under the 45-second target.
Lugod, fresh off a narrow defeat in the Tire Rack Championship Tour event a week prior, rebounded for a Street Touring R top qualifying effort, and slid into the Super Challenge as the 12th of 32 qualifiers in his OS Giken/Ankeny Racing Enterprises Honda S2000.
Lugod toppled Gary Thomason's ProParts USA Dodge Viper in the opening round, marking the first time the defending STR-class Tire Rack National Champion had advanced into the second round in his limited ProSolo experience.
The challenge monkey off his back, Lugod dispatched Scott Fraser's C Street Prepared 949 Racing/Ankeny Racing Enterprises Mazda Miata and Steve O'Blenes Ankeny Racing/Tripoint/Hankook Mazda RX-8 in back to back rounds to advance to the semi-finals.
The toughest test would come in that round of four against Ryan Otis' Super Stock Chevrolet Corvette. Lugod made mistakes on the right side of the two-run elimination, falling behind by 0.7-second. Knowing now that a perfect, hard run was going to be a must, Lugod pulled off the comeback and advanced to the final.
The 25-year-old Lugod squared off in the final against a wily ProSolo veteran, the 19-year-old Jon Clements. Clements, of Alta Loma, California, became the youngest Super Challenge winner in ProSolo history with a win at 16 years old, and was back in the finals three years later. Clements C Modified Mondiale Formula Ford couldn't keep the pace with Lugod, and Lugod captured his first Super Challenge title.
Morgan Trotter, who fell to Clements in the semi-final round, drove his Street Touring Compact C2 Motorsports/The RacersStore.com Honda Civic Si to a third-place finish over Otis in the consolation round.
Joining Lugod on the top of the podium was Ladies Challenge winner Nicole Nagler, of Moorpark, Calif. Nagler drove her Street Touring Compact Toyo Tires/ProParts USA Honda Civic Si to a final round win over Meredith Brown's Plastic PP Racing/Mid-Atlantic Motorsport Chevrolet Corvette.
The win was the first for Nagler, a two-time runner-up – including at the same event a year ago.
The Tire Rack ProSolo season continues this weekend in the middle of the country at the Mineral Wells ProSolo, deep in the heart of Texas, April 13-14. From there, the series continues on to MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands, New Jersey, April 20-21.
Information on the season-opening round of the Tire Rack ProSolo Series can be found here. More information on the entire Tire Rack SCCA Solo program is available at www.scca.com/Solo.
