Darwin, C. R. to Henslow, J. S.

Sends his comments on JSH's MS on cirripedes ["On typical objects in natural history", Rep. BAAS (1855): 108–26].
Summary Add
Down. Farnborough | Kent.
Sept. 2
My dear Henslow.
I have nothing to correct except that Bal. tintinnabulum cannot strictly be considered British, (being only an imported shell) except as a Crag Fossil.— I hardly know what to add as strictly British & living & breeding, perhaps Bal. porcatus would do as well as possible.— I may just mention, that in selecting these types I took the Pollicipes as giving all the characters of the whole order as well balanced as possible; but in the smaller groups I have picked out one eminently well characterized, or with every character by which the group is different from the other groups, most strongly pronounced.— I had thought the paper was only for the Ipswich Museum (though I cannot improve on it as it stands) & therefore I did not notice the two other Orders represented only by a single species each. I have inserted these in pencil, & you can determine whether to insert them in print; undoubtedly they ought to be, in order to give a full illustration of the Sub-class.—
Of the sub-class, including the three orders, it is impossible to give a type. I am sorry to have caused so much trouble, but I thought the paper was solely to guide you in your classification of the Ipswich Museum, & as you had not the two last orders, I purposely omitted all notice of them
Yours most truly | C. Darwin

- f1 1586.f1Dated on the basis that this letter precedes a circular issued by Henslow in June 1855 (see n. 2, below).
- +
- f2 1586.f2Henslow was preparing for the Liverpool meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, at which a committee was appointed to draft a report 'on the best manner of selecting and arranging a series of Typical Objects illustrative of the three kingdoms of Nature, for provincial Museums' (Report of the 24th meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science held at Liverpool in 1854, p. xlvi). The object of the committee, whose first report was published in the following year, was to provide guidelines for curators of provincial museums on how, by exhibiting a small number of well-chosen specimens, they could 'bring the entire range of natural history in a forcible manner before the attention of the public.' (Report of the 25th meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science held at Glasgow in 1855, p. 110). Henslow used CD's list of typical cirripede species as an examplar in the circular, dated June 1855, which he distributed to members of the committee soliciting similar lists for other 'groups in either the animal, vegetable, or mineral kingdoms.' CD's list is reprinted in ibid., p. 121.

President Sidney Ribeau
Challenging day dawns for University: Ribeau
The new day BGSU faces as it begins the academic year is significantly different from any in the past, President Sidney Ribeau told the capacity crowd at his Opening Day address Aug. 17.
"This different day is one in which we find many changes have taken place from the day before, large and small, which have consequences for us all," he said.
BGSU, and higher education in general, is in the midst of external forces that have the potential to change it considerably. It will be crucial for the campus to understand the seriousness of the situation and "take on the challenges that will allow us to define our future," Ribeau said.
Challenges exist on both the national and state levels, he said, and range from severe budgetary constraints to fundamental questions about the way higher education is conducted.
National debate
The 2006 Spellings Report, commissioned by the U.S. secretary of education, looked at higher education in America and found serious issues with its value and effectiveness, Ribeau said. "While I agree with all the data and issues identified in the report, I don't agree with all its recommendations," he commented. Nevertheless, the results "will impact higher education policy for the entire nation for years to come," he predicted.
The report "pulls no punches" in finding that U.S. higher education has become stagnant and has slipped to 12th in educational attainment among peers worldwide, Ribeau said. It also "makes much of the fact that throughout our nation, our graduates are less literate, and employers note that they lack fundamental skills for success in the workplace."
The president addressed the issue of accountability raised by the report, saying that he agrees with its contention that "higher education must change from a system based primarily on reputation to one based on performance."
Meaningful student learning outcomes must be identified and measured, Ribeau said, noting that BGSU has already made preliminary progress in that area. But if the University is to truly help students achieve their potential, it must ask "We have 3,200 new students this year. What do we expect them to gain? What should we expect our students to know and do?
"We must create and standardize elegant new methods of evaluation" to ascertain what students can accomplish as the result of a Bowling Green State University education, he argued.
State makes changes
Mirroring the changes in Washington, the state has also taken up the issue of higher education. Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland has not only ordered the creation of a unified state system of higher education, but also has elevated the role of the chancellor to the Cabinet level. "Chancellor Eric Fingerhut reports directly to the governor. This is a very important move," Ribeau said.
Fingerhut has been directed to work with the state's higher education institutions to create a 10-year master plan that will, among other things, create "centers of excellence" among the institutions and guide allocation of resources. "Our part is to help the chancellor develop a plan that is clearly responsive to the brand of education that we value at Bowling Green State University," Ribeau said.
'A very different budget environment'
While helping shape the direction of the plan, BGSU must also deal with further reductions in funding that threaten its very foundation, the president said. Although the state legislature in its biennial budget has provided a 5 percent overall increase in state share of instruction this year and 10 percent next year, in order to get the additional funds the University is required to forgo any increase in tuition or general fees for both years, the president said. The increase amounts to roughly $5.1 million for BGSU, but with the rise in operating expenses, including salaries and benefits, combined with an anticipated decrease in enrollment (as part of planned management of BGSU's enrollment program, he added later), "our next budget will be minus about $3 million," Ribeau said. "Plus, the state has mandated that we have to come up with 1 percent in efficiency savings this year and 3 percent next year.
"This promises to be a very austere budget year requiring a great deal of discipline from all areas of campus," he said. Area vice presidents will begin discussions shortly to develop a plan for each unit.
Calling this a "very different budget environment," the president noted that BGSU has been challenged before with decreased funding and increased costs, but the latest cuts "come on top of millions of dollars we've lost over the last 15 years. It's like you're chipping away at a rock and it's still a rock, but if you keep chipping away it will eventually disintegrate. We're dangerously close to the edge where the structure gives way," Ribeau warned.
Progress despite adversity
In spite of the difficulties it faces, the University continues to find success and positive developments, Ribeau said. He noted the construction of the Sebo Athletic Center, a privately sponsored project spearheaded by Trustee Bob Sebo, and the current demolition of Saddlemire Student Services Building to make way for the Wolfe Center for the Arts. The University also has a new provost and new CFO. "There's a lot of good going on to assist us in accomplishing our academic and research mission," he affirmed, noting concurrent improvements in the community that help strengthen the University as well.
BGSU's distinctive mission
As BGSU's marketing campaign makes clear, the University is about "changing the world by degrees," Ribeau said. While it can't change what happens on the state or national level, it can make a difference in the lives of its students and ultimately the world by taking a holistic approach that fosters both intellectual and spiritual growth. "Spiritual growth helps them grapple with the larger issues of their lives, and it can add meaning to a life that often seems empty and vacuous," Ribeau said.
With materialism running rampant and others demonstrating values that seem to be contrary to the principles of the nation's founders, giving students the basis to understand themselves and their place in the world is as important as creating students who are proficient in their knowledge and application of facts, he said.
As the state process moves forward, "one of the fundamental questions we at BGSU must ask ourselves is 'What is the distinct mission of our institution?'" the president said. In keeping with the plan to build centers of excellence, BGSU must ask what it does that differentiates it from its sister institutions and contributes to its national identity and reputation.
Plotting the future
As the University approaches its centennial in 2010, it does have innovative programs and is producing world-class research that distinguishes it from others, Ribeau said. "We do have a distinct niche, but that is not enough." Calling all that has been done a "platform," he said the next step is to map out the future. "We must engage in an intentional and deliberative planning process this year," he said, to ensure that the University is in line with the state's mission and goals if it is to maintain its self-direction.
"We come out of a place where we make a difference," he concluded. "We know that creating competent professionals is not enough. We must also graduate students who are going to make a qualitative difference in the world they inhabit so the next 100 years will be the brightest day for Bowling Green State University."

Hope No More
After four seasons as Purdue's head football coach, Danny Hope is out.
GoldandBlack.com has learned Hope and players were informed Sunday, a day after Purdue's bowl-clinching win over Indiana, that Hope would not be retained. In four seasons as Purdue's head coach, Hope was 22-27, including the 4-8 record the Boilermakers posted in 2010, a season virtually destroyed by injury. Purdue will play in its second consecutive bowl game.
Purdue formally announced Hope's dismissal around 5:15 p.m. Sunday evening.
"There is no question that our football program has seen considerable growth under Danny's leadership, particularly in the areas of academics, player development and recruiting," athletic director Morgan Burke said in a released statement. "I applaud him for his passion about Purdue University and the young men he coaches. He and his staff have devoted their lives to improving the program, but as I told him earlier this afternoon, those efforts did not equate to the consistent on-field success that both of us expected.
The Boilermakers are awaiting a bowl berth, which could be announced tonight. It was announced in conjunction with Hope's firing that wide receivers coach Patrick Higgins would serve as interim coach in the bowl game. Higgins has already been handling offensive coordinator duties on an interim basis following Gary Nord's injury.
Purdue won seven games in 2011 and won the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit, its first bowl appearance since 2007.
But the Boilermakers - with a team Hope called his best since he's been at Purdue - came into 2012 hoping for more, considered following a 3-1 start to be a potential contender in the Big Ten's Leaders Division among those programs eligible to play in the Big Ten title game.
But the opening of the Big Ten season was an unmitigated disaster for Purdue, which lost its first five conference games, four of them by way of blowout. The Boilermakers rebounded to beat struggling Iowa and Illinois, then Indiana, to become bowl-eligible, but it wasn't enough to save Hope.
GoldandBlack.com had learned that it was the second of those blowouts, a 38-14 loss to Wisconsin Oct. 13, that essentially sealed Hope's fate and compelled Purdue to decide a change would be made following the season.
And in recent weeks, Purdue, as it did a year ago prior to extending Hope's contract, mobilized for a coaching search, researching potential candidates and asking for monetary contributions, seeking to put together a war chest of a targeted amount of around $4.5 million for its pursuit of its next staff.
Among the coaches Purdue is interested in, according to sources, are Cincinnati head coach Butch Jones, Louisiana Tech coach Sonny Dykes, Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren, Oregon offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich and others.

Latrice Royale
this wiki
About Latrice RoyaleEdit
Latrice Royale is the stage name of drag performer Timothy Wilcots. During the course of the show, Latrice revealed that she had previously spent time in jail, although it was never specified what for. She also revealed in All Stars that she never had a relationship with her father, due to how he treated her mother. She is remembered mostly for her laugh and her positive outlook on life, making her the mama bear of Season Four.
Drag Name OriginEdit
Timothy chose Latrice Royale as his drag name because he knew a girl named Latrice, and Royale sounded like something very delicious and very chocolate. He chose the name so he could enter an amateur drag night contest in the mid 1990's at the infamous Fort Lauderdale club "The Copa". He handily won that competition of course.
Latrice was eliminated in Episode Eleven of Season four, during a challenge where she and the other contestants were challenged to create looks and outfits for three different occasions, Daytime Dog Park, Pooch in a Purse and Canine Couture, an outfit inspired by an actual dog. Latrice landed in the bottom two alongside fellow queen Chad Michaels, and lipsynced to Wynonna Judd's song "No One Else on Earth". Latrice was then eliminated.
On the Season Four reunion show, she was voted "Miss Congeniality" by the viewing audience.
The week before being eliminated, Latrice had also been in the bottom two, but created RPDR history by lipsyncing for her life dressed as an expectant mother to "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman", and doing it by standing entirely in one place and relying only on flawless lipsync, raw emotional power, and classic old-school drag, without the hysterics and crazy stunts that nearly every other contestant resorts to under pressure. Latrice certainly can give you splits and dance, but it was a gamble to go for class in that situation.
All StarsEdit
Latrice was brought back on RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars as one of the twelve contestants. She and Manila Luzon were paired in the first episode under the name "Latrila". Depsite an early win in the first challenge, Latrice lipsynced for their life in the second episode and won, sending home Tammie Brown and Nina Flowers, and Manila lipsynced in the third epiosde, but lost to Jujubee. Their departure was extremely emotional, and Manila later said that it was not expected by either her or Latrice.

So sayeth T.A. Frank at The New Republic's website:
Why Harry Reid agreed to have a debate with Sharron Angle is a bit of a mystery to me. If your campaign is based on portraying your opponent as loony, then why give that opponent a chance to look reasonable? Lyndon Johnson never debated Barry Goldwater. Then again, I'm no political strategist. And neither, I've come to see, is Harry Reid. So let's focus on what matters now: that a debate was held in Nevada last night between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican challenger Sharron Angle. And its upshot was—sorry, folks—that Angle improved her chances.
While reading Frank's piece, I realized I was remiss in not quoting Reid's full response on why insurance companies must be compelled by law to cover things like mammograms and colonoscopies. Here it is in all its glory:
We need them to be forced to do mammograms. That's why you see breast cancer awareness month. You see the baseball players wearing pink shoes, and you the football players having pink, uh, uh, helmets. It's because people dread breast cancer, and you don't get breast cancer, you can—correct breast cancer—you detect it if you do mammograms. Colonoscopies, if you do colonoscopies, colon cancer does not come because you snip off the—things they find when they go up and—no more, and we need to have insurance companies do this…
Sharron Angle, after meandering just a bit, gave this clear and concise (and true!) answer: "The free market will weed out those companies that don't offer as many choices and don't have a cost effective system."
Josh Kraushaar and Lindsey Boerma write at The Hotline that "Angle Nearly Lands Knockout Blow Against Reid."
And Jon Ralston, the so-called dean of the Nevada press corps, simply declares: "Reid lost the debate to Angle."
More on the debate here.

Research Institute of Molecular Pathology
Neurobiologists at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna investigated how the brain is able to group external stimuli into stable categories. They found the answer in the discrete dynamics of neuronal circuits. The journal Neuron publishes the results in its current issue.
How do we manage to recognize a friend's face, regardless of the light conditions, the person's hairstyle or make-up? Why do we always hear the same words, whether they are spoken by a man or woman, in a loud or soft voice? It is due to the amazing skill of our brain to turn a wealth of sensory information into a number of defined categories and objects. The ability to create constants in a changing world feels natural and effortless to a human, but it is extremely difficult to train a computer to perform the task.
At the IMP in Vienna, neurobiologist Simon Rumpel and his post-doc Brice Bathellier have been able to show that certain properties of neuronal networks in the brain are responsible for the formation of categories. In experiments with mice, the researchers produced an array of sounds and monitored the activity of nerve cell-clusters in the auditory cortex. They found that groups of 50 to 100 neurons displayed only a limited number of different activity-patterns in response to the different sounds.
The scientists then selected two basis sounds that produced different response patterns and constructed linear mixtures from them. When the mixture ratio was varied continuously, the answer was not a continuous change in the activity patters of the nerve cells, but rather an abrupt transition. Such dynamic behavior is reminiscent of the behavior of artificial attractor-networks that have been suggested by computer scientists as a solution to the categorization problem.
The findings in the activity patters of neurons were backed up by behavioral experiments with mice. The animals were trained to discriminate between two sounds. They were then exposed to a third sound and their reaction was tracked. Whether the answer to the third tone was more like the reaction to the first or the second one, was used as an indicator of the similarity of perception. By looking at the activity patters in the auditory cortex, the scientists were able to predict the reaction of the mice.
The new findings that are published in the current issue of the journal Neuron, demonstrate that discrete network states provide a substrate for category formation in brain circuits. The authors suggest that the hierarchical structure of discrete representations might be essential for elaborate cognitive functions such as language processing.

And the strong yet flexible fibre means that the hockey stick fits perfectly under the ball for a high push. The friction properties are low in both dry and wet weather conditions, which means no more unpredictable lost momentum or acceleration of the ball.

Paul Currier Sr.Groundsman / Kassam Stadium Oxford
With over 25 years in grounds work, this has to be one of the best pitches at this moment in time. XtraGrass is maintained in the exact same way as a standard grass pitch, with the added bonus of less divots to replace after pitch use. The pitch looks great and plays quick, with no divots. It's a great surface overall and the players love it - now we just need to see how it performs in the winter months when the XtraGrass will come into play.
Art LangelerHead of Training young PSV / PSV Eindhoven
This amazing product allows you to play four matches on Saturday, train every day under the same conditions and with many teams. Besides these benefits Greenfields MX has the appearance of a great professional field! Enough reasons for us to choose GreenFields turf! Football is based on old values but with modern and innovative approach. This field is a good exponent of that thought!
Peter BijveldsDirector / FC Den Bosch
The decison to choose GreenFields MX was made after intense research with quality as the key criteria. We went for the highest achievable. A artificial turf product that would approach natural grass turf in gameplay and appearance in every aspect. Partly inspired by the more than positive experiences of other football clubs, both in professional football and amateur levels, the choice was made for Greenfields MX
David R WhiteGeneral Manager / Falkirk Football Club
This surface is fantastic, it is remarkably better than any artificial surface he had ever seen and played on in the UK. All the feedback from players and coaches has been exceedingly positive.
Remko Pasveer/ Captain Heracles
The new turf is perfect for football that we want to play. Heracles Almelo plays fast combination football and that is no problem on this surface.
Gerrit de KoeTeammanager / Accommodations Amsterdam
In 2011, the district built a Greenfields MX at the ambitious club Zeeburgia from Amsterdam, known for its youth education. As the Municipality of Amsterdam we were curious how an innovation as a woven field would hold up at a club where more than 1500 hours per year is played. After several years, the field is still in excellent condition. The club, where a number of former internationals weekly kick a ball, is very satisfied.
Mario CapteinGeneral Manager / Helmond Sport
Our players are extremely satisfied with the GreenFields artificial turf. Artificial turf contributes, among others to the possibilities for better training of the youth and with an artificial turf we can have the youth to practice and play games in the stadium. With this turf we are ready for the future.
Ashleigh NelsonAustralia women's national field hockey team
The GreenFields TX World Cup Pitch is one of the best ever
Jan de JongeTrainer Heracles Almelo - Dutch Premier League
We are very pleased with this high-quality artificial turf field. We can now train in our own stadium. Players can get their foot under the ball easily which enables them to kick perfectly. The ball speed and thus the game speed are much more consistent. The result is optimal ball and playing performance. "
Ferry de HaanDirector Dutch Premier League club Excelsior
Excelsior has been playing on artificial turf since 2010, but has now opted for new turf. Excelsior was promoted to the Premier League last season and as we are a club that wants to develop talent we wanted to have the best turf available.
Wim BiesterveldGeneral Manager FC Volendam
With the new GreenFields ® MX field we are assured of the best possible conditions to play football, throughout the year. That is good for the development of players, individually and in teams, and therefore good for the development and appearance of the club.
Rob WesterhofChairman Sparta Rotterdam
We want to tap new sources of income. With artificial turf we can use the Sparta Stadium far more intensively, and not just for soccer. This decision has been prompted by long-term thinking. It is also why the choice fell on the best artificial turf system currently available, GreenFields® MX with the TenCate Trimension™ fiber. We are a fantastic club, with a rich history and a unique stadium. We want to exude that feeling, that pride, from every Sparta pore again, including the young. Our artificial turf field is an investment in that future."
Manfred LarosDirector Sparta Rotterdam
Like any club in the Netherlands Sparta is also accustomed to natural grass. We believe that we actually have to play on natural grass. But given the weather in the Netherlands this is very difficult. Moreover, we always want to play on a good turf. If you opt for the best alternative, GreenFields is the choice to make.
Jan van DijkTrainer Helmond Sport
I never expected that I would be an artificial turf fan. But now it is so well developed, I am very excited about. The exercises we do are much easier. The field is super even, making it very pleasant to work on.
Paul Currier JrGroundsman Ricoh Arena / Ricoh Arena
In comparison to last season's pitch at the Ricoh Arena, the new XtraGrass hybrid surface is performing with remarkable results for the amount of usage in a multi-purpose venue. The pitch speaks for itself now."
Artificial Turf for Sports
Artificial turf provides a high performance sports playing surface. Several sport's governing bodies including the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and International Hockey Federation (FIH) promote the use of artificial turf for professional match play. For many teams, artificial turf is often the preferred solution. GreenFields offer a sports turf system for most major sport disciplines.
Popular applications for synthetic grass include football pitches, rugby pitches, hockey fields, baseball fields, lawn tennis courts, bowling greens and golf putting greens.
Artificial grass became widely recognised in 1965 when AstroTurf was installed at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. Soon after, many sports teams played on artificial turf for professional matches. This first generation of artificial turf was met with criticism due to an increased risk of player injury and many teams reverted back to natural grass.
Now forty years later, artificial turf has been developed almost beyond recognition into an outstanding sports product. The soft texture of GreenFields sports turf is comparable to real grass and the cushioned underlay provides excellent player comfort and safety.

The Pawhealer team has found that many cats have this type of problem and it's due to what is called Liver Qi stagnation.....we think that with cats, because they are so territorial and not so pack oriented, they become emotionally constrained in social situations....and then the anger and frustration they feel begins to turn inward, and then begin to cause their physical ailments, as well as in many instances behavioral issues.
None the less....this is a great story so enjoy the read...We certainly did.
Date: Fri, Mar 27, 2009 4:18 pm
To: email@example.com
Hello, I'm Hedgie. Before the food lady contacted PawHealer, I was miserable. I was so grumpy that I seldom got any loves. When the food lady did try to be nice to me I was so irritated that I couldn't stand being touched. I squealed, scratched her and even bit her once. Nobody wanted to be near me because my breath was so bad you could smell me from two feet away. My coat was really ugly, so much so that the food lady took me to the groomer. (I was nice to them and they loved me and and that really ticked the food lady off.) The truth is, it's hard to live in a house with 6 other cats, when you want to be number one all the time. And, I should be number one, because I came to live here when I was 4 days old. The food lady fed me with a bottle and gave me loves every 2 hours. But then as I got older the time got to be less and less and I had to share more and more of the time. It was all down hill from there.
My health problems started about a year and a half ago. The food lady took me to this place where there were lots of others like me and some other kinds of creatures that made some kind of silly barking noises. They stuck needles in me and made me go to sleep. While I was sleeping they hurt my mouth and said that my bad breath was from sores in my mouth caused by bad teeth. Within months of that ordeal, the food lady took me back again and I had to go through the whole thing all over again. That time I had to stay a whole week because I won't let the food lady give me medicine and the people at that horrible place had to do it. In the end it did no good, because within a few months nobody could stand to be near me again.
To her credit, the food lady didn't want me to have to go through that again, so she looked for an alternative that would be less stressful for me. She found PawHealer and told them all about me. They told the food lady that it was not my teeth that was causing my problem, but that I was a very angry kitty and my liver had become toxic. They sent her some Chinese herbs and I have been eating my food with the herbs for one week now. In that short time my breath has improved 85% and I am feeling so much better. I have been getting lots of hugs and loves and I have not felt like scratching or biting. I also have not minded the company of the other cats and, in fact, I actually felt like playing with Lena yesterday. I hate her.
So, here I am sitting on the porch, enjoying the sun, the birds, the sound of the wind in the palms. I'm loving life and the food lady so much more. I can't wait until next week.
Hedgie (Lollobrigida), Lollo for short.
My food lady is Jean T from Miami Springs Florida

One of the more successful TV police dramas which seemed to be
exploding all over the place during the Seventies as westerns declined
and because they were getting expensive to make was The Rookies. The
show was about three eager young police officers straight from the
Academy on their first assignment. The three, Georg Stanford, Brown,
Michael Ontkean, and Sam Melville served as cops in the mythical
community of Santa Clara in California.
I liked the show because it showed three idealistic young cops and a time when idealism was at a premium. The Rookies debuted while Richard Nixon was running for re-election and we got treated nationally to all the stories about Watergate and the aftermath during the run of this show.
In that vein it was also nice to see a moral authority like Lieutenant Eddie Ryker who took The Rookies under his wing and taught them to be good cops. As a police officer Ryker was one of the best ever shown on television and it gave Gerald S. O'Loughlin his career role. He was and remains one of my favorite television police officers.
The women and the gay men certainly had a lot of nice beefcake to look at with the three Rookies. Michael Ontkean left the series midway to pursue a movie career and he's best remembered for Making Love to Harry Hamlin and Kate Jackson in Making Love and for that never to be forgotten strip tease on ice in Slap Shot. He was replace by Bruce Fairbairn for the rest of the show's run.
Speaking of Kate Jackson, she was the only regular female in the series and she played Sam Melville's wife. She was also a nurse in the emergency ward at the Santa Clara Hospital. Kate's got incredible skill or luck if you prefer in picking television series. The Rookies was her second series, she was in Dark Shadows, after The Rookies came Charlie's Angels and The Scarecrow and Mrs. King. That's one pretty substantial record and most would envy her for just one successful TV series. Kate as a nurse allowed her to get into the action in a few shows, she was not just home waiting dinner for Sam Melville. They were like a lot of young marrieds then and now, struggling to maintain a two income household and both with stressful occupations.
The Rookies were not supercops, they were young and inexperienced and made mistakes out there. Those mistakes became the basis of many a story line. But under Gerald S. O'Loughlin's wise tutelage they weren't Rookies when the series ended its run.

My wife has just had knee replacement surgery and rehab
Resolved Question:
My wife has just had knee replacement surgery and rehab. She is taking Endone and Oxycontin (morphine) for pain management. She has also been taking for a long period Pristiq 100mg daily for depression and this has been very effective. However, she has slipped back into depression and I'm wondering if there is a negative interaction between the morphine and the Pristiq - and if so, what is the best way to deal with this? With thanks in anticipation, John

I am sorry that your wife is experiencing a worsening of her depression...
Is she feeling suicidal?
How often is she taking the Endone (which is similar to oxycontin) and morphine?
Is she slowly weaning off the narcotics at this time?
Dr Abby

Thanks for your questions: She is feeling there is nothing to live for so potential for suicide is there I think (but completely out of character). She is taking Endone 6 hourly and Oxycontin 12 hourly. She has reduced the dosage of Endone from 4 hourly x 2 tabs to the 6 hours x 1 tab.
Dr. Abby
replied 4 years ago.
Ok, thank you.
These feelings she is having are very serious, then.
One thing that is very important is to make sure that she does not have access to an overdose situation (keep her medications in a place where they are locked or out of access--she may become upset but if there is any chance of suicidal thoughts, it is for her safety).
If you truly think that she may harm herself at this time, she needs to be taken to the emergency room.
Narcotics can cause depression in some cases. It is more common with morphine than with oxycontin/oxycodone based medications...however it is still possible that the medications are at least contributing to her symptoms.
She may also be feeling worse due to the frustrations of surgery and feeling pain.
If she has a therapist or psychiatrist, I recommend that you try to reach them today.
Otherwise, if you do not feel she is in immediate danger of harming herself over the weekend, keep a close eye on her. There is no room to increase her Pristiq (nor does it interact with the narcotics, by the way).
The key is going to be trying to get her off the narcotics as quickly as possible. This will need to be done by her prescribing physician. If you cannot contact him/her over the weekend, do so first thing on Monday.
I hope that she feels better...I know it is hard to see her this way.
Please feel free to ask any follow up questions you may have,

Suggested diagnosis was what I hoped and will take this info to my doctor's appointment next week.
I feel better already! Thank you.

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.

I have been dealing with an extremely serious health crisis for over three years, and one your physicians asked me more questions, gave me more answers and encouragement than a dozen different doctors who have been treating me!!

My friend had one of these doors installed. Her dog was very hard to train because he would go in the door but not out the door. I think this is a good door it is very durable and closes well. He will learn.
Pros: takes up small amount of space
Cons: none known

if another dog gets into your backyard, and then your dog wants to check it out, it can. without you knowing about it. so if you get up and let your dog out yourself, you can avoid a potential problem
Pros: none
Cons: lets dog in a nd out as they want
