Drug Information for IMITREX (sumatriptan succinate) InjectionFor Subcutaneous Use Only. (GlaxoSmithKline LLC): WARNINGS
- Principal Display Panel

IMITREX Injection should only be used where a clear diagnosis of migraine or cluster headache has been established. The prescriber should be aware that cluster headache patients often possess one or more predictive risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD).
Risk of Myocardial Ischemia and/or Infarction and Other Adverse Cardiac Events
Sumatriptan should not be given to patients with documented ischemic or vasospastic CAD (see CONTRAINDICATIONS). It is strongly recommended that sumatriptan not be given to patients in whom unrecognized CAD is predicted by the presence of risk factors (e.g., hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoker, obesity, diabetes, strong family history of CAD, female with surgical or physiological menopause, male over 40 years of age) unless a cardiovascular evaluation provides satisfactory clinical evidence that the patient is reasonably free of coronary artery and ischemic myocardial disease or other significant underlying cardiovascular disease. The sensitivity of cardiac diagnostic procedures to detect cardiovascular disease or predisposition to coronary artery vasospasm is modest, at best. If, during the cardiovascular evaluation, the patient's medical history or electrocardiographic investigations reveal findings indicative of or consistent with coronary artery vasospasm or myocardial ischemia, sumatriptan should not be administered (see CONTRAINDICATIONS).
For patients with risk factors predictive of CAD who are determined to have a satisfactory cardiovascular evaluation, it is strongly recommended that administration of the first dose of sumatriptan injection take place in the setting of a physician's office or similar medically staffed and equipped facility. Because cardiac ischemia can occur in the absence of clinical symptoms, consideration should be given to obtaining an electrocardiogram (ECG) during the interval immediately following the first dose in these patients with risk factors.
It is recommended that patients who are intermittent long-term users of sumatriptan and who have or acquire risk factors predictive of CAD, as described above, undergo periodic interval cardiovascular evaluation as they continue to use sumatriptan. In considering this recommendation for periodic cardiovascular evaluation, it is noted that patients with cluster headache are predominantly male and over 40 years of age, which are risk factors for CAD.
The systematic approach described above is intended to reduce the likelihood that patients with unrecognized cardiovascular disease will be inadvertently exposed to sumatriptan.
Drug-Associated Cardiac Events and Fatalities
Serious adverse cardiac events, including acute myocardial infarction, life-threatening disturbances of cardiac rhythm, and death have been reported within a few hours following the administration of IMITREX Injection or IMITREX® (sumatriptan succinate) Tablets. Considering the extent of use of sumatriptan in patients with migraine, the incidence of these events is extremely low.
The fact that sumatriptan can cause coronary vasospasm, that some of these events have occurred in patients with no prior cardiac disease history and with documented absence of CAD, and the close proximity of the events to sumatriptan use support the conclusion that some of these cases were caused by the drug. In many cases, however, where there has been known underlying CAD, the relationship is uncertain.
Premarketing Experience With Sumatriptan
Among the more than 1,900 patients with migraine who participated in premarketing controlled clinical trials of subcutaneous sumatriptan, there were 8 patients who sustained clinical events during or shortly after receiving sumatriptan that may have reflected coronary artery vasospasm. Six of these 8 patients had ECG changes consistent with transient ischemia, but without accompanying clinical symptoms or signs. Of these 8 patients, 4 had either findings suggestive of CAD or risk factors predictive of CAD prior to study enrollment.
Of 6,348 patients with migraine who participated in premarketing controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials of oral sumatriptan, 2 experienced clinical adverse events shortly after receiving oral sumatriptan that may have reflected coronary vasospasm. Neither of these adverse events was associated with a serious clinical outcome.
Among approximately 4,000 patients with migraine who participated in premarketing controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials of sumatriptan nasal spray, 1 patient experienced an asymptomatic subendocardial infarction possibly subsequent to a coronary vasospastic event.
Postmarketing Experience With Sumatriptan
Serious cardiovascular events, some resulting in death, have been reported in association with the use of IMITREX Injection or IMITREX Tablets. The uncontrolled nature of postmarketing surveillance, however, makes it impossible to determine definitively the proportion of the reported cases that were actually caused by sumatriptan or to reliably assess causation in individual cases. On clinical grounds, the longer the latency between the administration of IMITREX and the onset of the clinical event, the less likely the association is to be causative. Accordingly, interest has focused on events beginning within 1 hour of the administration of IMITREX.
Cardiac events that have been observed to have onset within 1 hour of sumatriptan administration include: coronary artery vasospasm, transient ischemia, myocardial infarction, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, and death.
Some of these events occurred in patients who had no findings of CAD and appear to represent consequences of coronary artery vasospasm. However, among domestic reports of serious cardiac events within 1 hour of sumatriptan administration, the majority had risk factors predictive of CAD and the presence of significant underlying CAD was established in most cases (see CONTRAINDICATIONS).
Drug-Associated Cerebrovascular Events and Fatalities
Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke, and other cerebrovascular events have been reported in patients treated with oral or subcutaneous sumatriptan, and some have resulted in fatalities. The relationship of sumatriptan to these events is uncertain. In a number of cases, it appears possible that the cerebrovascular events were primary, sumatriptan having been administered in the incorrect belief the symptoms experienced were a consequence of migraine when they were not. As with other acute migraine therapies, before treating headaches in patients not previously diagnosed as migraineurs, and in migraineurs who present with atypical symptoms, care should be taken to exclude other potentially serious neurological conditions. It should also be noted that patients with migraine may be at increased risk of certain cerebrovascular events (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack).
Other Vasospasm-Related Events
Sumatriptan may cause vasospastic reactions other than coronary artery vasospasm. Both peripheral vascular ischemia and colonic ischemia with abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea have been reported. Very rare reports of transient and permanent blindness and significant partial vision loss have been reported with the use of sumatriptan. Visual disorders may also be part of a migraine attack.
Serotonin Syndrome
The development of a potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome may occur with triptans, including treatment with IMITREX, particularly during combined use with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). If concomitant treatment with sumatriptan and an SSRI (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, citalopram, escitalopram) or SNRI (e.g., venlafaxine, duloxetine) is clinically warranted, careful observation of the patient is advised, particularly during treatment initiation and dose increases. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes (e.g., agitation, hallucinations, coma), autonomic instability (e.g., tachycardia, labile blood pressure, hyperthermia), neuromuscular aberrations (e.g., hyperreflexia, incoordination), and/or gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).
Increase in Blood Pressure
Significant elevation in blood pressure, including hypertensive crisis, has been reported on rare occasions in patients with and without a history of hypertension. Sumatriptan is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension (see CONTRAINDICATIONS). Sumatriptan should be administered with caution to patients with controlled hypertension as transient increases in blood pressure and peripheral vascular resistance have been observed in a small proportion of patients.
Concomitant Drug Use
In patients taking MAO-A inhibitors, sumatriptan plasma levels attained after treatment with recommended doses are nearly double those obtained under other conditions. Accordingly, the coadministration of sumatriptan and an MAO-A inhibitor is not generally recommended. If such therapy is clinically warranted, however, suitable dose adjustment and appropriate observation of the patient is advised (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Drug Interactions: Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors).
Use in Women of Childbearing Potential
See PRECAUTIONS: Pregnancy.
Hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis/anaphylactoid) reactions have occurred on rare occasions in patients receiving sumatriptan. Such reactions can be life threatening or fatal. In general, hypersensitivity reactions to drugs are more likely to occur in individuals with a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens (see CONTRAINDICATIONS).

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - LeBron James filled the stat sheet with 27
points, 12 rebounds, eight assists and four steals as the Miami Heat handed
the Charlotte Bobcats their 16th straight loss with a 105-92 triumph.
Dwyane Wade tallied 13 of his 29 points in the fourth, while adding nine
rebounds and five assists for Miami, which has won six straight.
Kemba Walker netted 27 points to lead the Bobcats, who have dropped nine
consecutive contests to the Heat.
The Bobcats trailed by as many as 19 in the second quarter and never led in
the contest, but a 15-6 run, capped by Gerald Henderson's three-point play
pulled the hosts within 84-82 with 7:16 remaining in the game.
Miami, though, responded with a 10-3 spurt to up the margin back into double
James answered right away with a left wing step-back 3-pointer -- just his
second field goal of the second half -- and Mario Chalmers split a pair of
foul shots on Miami's next trip down the floor. Walker then hit a trey for an
88-85 deficit, but back-to-back Wade jumpers, followed by Shane Battier's
right corner three upped the Heat advantage to 95-85 with 4:01 left.
Charlotte never cut the margin below eight the rest of the way.
Earlier, the Heat stormed out of the gate and opened up a quick 9-0 advantage
before James' putback dunk made it 13-2 a little over three minutes in. James,
who had six points during the spurt, finished the opening frame with 11 points
as Miami took a 27-18 margin into the second.
The Heat led by as many as 19 in the second before taking a 55-38 lead into
the break.
Charlotte began the third on a 12-3 swing to get within 58-50, and were down,
78-71, going into the fourth.
Game Notes
Chalmers netted 17 points to go with four assists ... Hakim Warrick had 18
points and nine boards for Charlotte ... The Heat shot 45.7 percent (37-of-81)
from the floor.

In homage to the Favorite Song Lyrics Thread I thought this might be interesting.
My own personal one is as a kid I thought CCR Bad Moon Rising said "There's a bathroom on the right."
My favorite heard from someone else is Pearl Jam Glorified G misheard as "Four or Five Virgins on a Pelican". I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan and I can't listen to that song and hear anything else. (it's really "glorified version of a pellet gun").
My sister thought the Allman Brothers song "Ramblin' Man" went something like "Lord, I was born in Bethlehem!"
crazy train:
gravy... and mashed potatoes...
(crazy but thats how it goes)

Okay, probably no so much misunderstood as much as "what the hell is he singing?"
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things." - Tyrion Lannister
"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
Not a song lyric but a miscue on a band name: Got a summer letter from a gal in college (way back when you kept in touch with gals with letters) saying how she had attended an Oreo Speedwagon concert. Whenever I hear REO Speedwagon I always think of her and her Oreo Speedwagon. I also remember she was really really cute but guess than isnt related to this thread?
When I was a kid, I used to think it was "Shot through the heart, and you're to blame baby you give love a Band-Aid."
yellow ledbetter (whole song)
''Heartache Tonight'' by the Eagles. I used to hear it as, ''... there's gonna be a party tonight...''
"Hold Me Close Now Tony Danza" (Elton John-Tiny Dancer)
Also, not Lyrics, But I thought Alice In Chains was the name of girl group for the longest time.

I think he's doing great as a incoming freshman and starting on this team.
But Im worried about his starting position.
I don't think his defense is a liability but surprisingly his offense is, and not from being to greedy; he needs to fire it up start blasting some shots!
I know the 'he's not big man on campus anymore' BS excuse but he is, he's a starting FRESHMAN on a top 25 team in the BIG XII!!!
Wonder what CFH needs to do to light a fire under him?
Seemed CFH is starting to realize this as #21MT is riding the pine a lot after starting (only 19 mins today)
Im really excited to see some of his magic and wish he could get his confidence up, were gonna need his range come Big XII time.
Maybe he just needs a cheer from us GO #21!!!
Really would love to here thoughts of others on this. I really thought I would see a coming out party by now.

I'm not trying to be difficult, it comes naturally....
Is this....,an open letter? Please say it is
My god another one of these...
I did not expect to see countless posts and threads knocking Matt Thomas every day. I thought people picked Percy as the guy for pointless criticism.
Kid's a freshman that defers on a highly effective team. What's the problem?
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
He'll be fine. Our guard future with Naz, Monte, Matt, Custer is really bright.

I still think he's adjusting to college ball. I think he starts still but we see his minutes go down and SDW get more playing time in the guards rotation.
He's still adjusting to playing against much stronger competition. He will be fine. His mechanics are top notch and he's smart. He'll get better every week on D. His offensive confidence will grow. By next year, we'll be very pleased with him as a player. This year will probably be up and down, which is common for FR.
I like him....a lot. He goes quiet at times, but for a Freshmen, dude can play. And his game is more developed than I would have thought, plus he can defend a lot better than I expected. REally really hard to come in and play at this level, and I think he is doing a great job. Long way to go but great start.
Thomas is clearly costing us wins at this point...right???
Always buying historically relevant ISU gear
It's gotta be a little intimidating starting with guys like Kane, Ejim, Niang, and Hogue. He will be fine, he just knows we already have go to guys right now.
I am REALLY impressed with the fact that the guy gets to start, can't wait to see him deliver the gold like Niang does in his sophomore year. I guess I would just be afraid his confidence might take a hit if he would loses starting position for a game or two.
His one three today was absolutely money. Net barely moved
We have four ridiculously good players right now. Matt is deferring to them and only taking good shots and making smart decisions. He doesn't need to go off for this team to be successful.
Would you rather have him forcing shots?

Shame Articles
Jamie Dornan's apologies
FameFlynet, #JDH Imagez/ Splash
Jamie Dornan was in New York this weekend for a final promotional push before the release of Fifty Shades Of Grey this Friday. The studio has already greenlit the two sequels; they're likely confident with their numbers predictions. I wonder though if they might want to talk to Dornan about his attitude when they get around to releasing the follow-ups, particularly his comments related to the sex. Full Story

Janet Ketelsleger has watched her property sink into the ground for the last year.
A large sinkhole has swallowed a corner of her backyard at 15 Shotgun Drive in Rifle Village South.
The subdivision on the south side of the Colorado River and I-70 sits on soils that were so unstable, Ketelsleger said, that Garfield County sent a letter to subdivision residents in 1987 that warned of unstable soils leading to sinkholes.
Yet, in 1997, Ketelsleger said, the county approved the addition of several homes, including Ketelsleger's. She bought the home in 2003, before sinkholes appeared.
"Now here we are," Ketelsleger said. "I don't want to sell, and who's going to want to buy a house with a hole in the back yard?"
The sinkhole is more than 15 feet deep, one of several that have appeared in various areas of the subdivision, mainly around the intersection of Shotgun and Colt drives. That's where both streets drain, down a ditch that leads to Ketelsleger's sinkhole, according to a survey by HP Geotech of Glenwood Springs, then down over a ridge toward Lake Toueye, a recreational amenity of the Lake Toueye Water Ski Club.
When the streets in front of Ketelsleger's home were added, the drainage saturated the soils and led to the sinkhole, she said.
Since then, Ketelsleger has pleaded with the county attorney, county manager, met with road and bridge and other department heads, but said she has met nothing but roadblocks.
In the past, then-county attorney Andrew Gorgey said he could not find any proof the county owned the land where the sinkhole has appeared.
"The county says it isn't on the tax rolls, so they're not responsible," Ketelsleger said. "But I don't think I should have to pay [to fill in the sinkhole]. The county has the resources and they approved the homes."
Ketelsleger said her two children rode their bikes and hunted for Easter eggs on the parcel that has sunk into the ground.
Steve Campbell, one of the owners of the ski club and the lake, said the club itself repaired a sink hole on their property in 2004.
"It was along the same drainage ditch," Campbell said. "We had been at odds with the county, just like Janet is now. It was three times larger than hers. We drove an excavator and dump truck into it."
Eventually, Campbell said he and his partner grew tired of the process and decided to fix it themselves.
"The ground around here is like Swiss cheese," Campbell said. "When they allowed the houses east of Janet's house to be built, the drainage increased and ran right down that ditch."
Campbell said he and his partner have offered to giver Ketelsleger the material to fill in her sinkhole.
"She would have to get someone with an excavator, but she would rather see Garfield County take responsibility, I guess," Campbell said. "I can agree with that, we tried to get them to help us. But they ignored us, too."
Rifle Village South, first proposed in 1964 and developed by Larry Bradley, has no homeowners association to turn to for help, Ketelsleger said. A local improvement district was formed to pay for the streets at the time the homes were built, Ketelsleger added.
Commissioner Mike Samson visited Ketelsleger's home in the recent past, and said mistakes were made, the homes should not have been built, she said.
Her quest for a solution will return to the county commissioners on Nov. 5, when she's scheduled to again try to get some help.
"I'm a fighter," Ketelsleger said. "If the commissioners don't help me or compromise, people say I should sue. But I can't afford that."

Deep thoughts: Long ball could carry Ravens to win
NEW ORLEANS Fear the dreadlocks, San Francisco.
Torrey Smith just might be the difference in a Super Bowl that will hinge on the 49ers' ability to prevent the Baltimore Ravens from scoring with the long ball.
You might remember Smith from that playoff game in Denver on Jan. 12. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey sure does. Bailey, a 12-time Pro Bowl star, watched the dreadlocks flapping from the back of Smith's helmet as he chased the speedy wide receiver into the end zone on touchdown catches of 59 and 32 yards.
Oh, and let's not forget that Baltimore forced overtime in that game on a 70-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones with 31 seconds left.
The Ravens have 17 pass completions of at least 40 yards this season, six of them involving Smith. Sometimes, Smith runs deep just to free up wideout Anquan Boldin or tight end Dennis Pitta or running back Ray Rice underneath, leaving Flacco a variety of viable targets.
"It all depends," said Smith, the speedy receiver from Maryland. "It's not like they say, `Hey Torrey, just run straight down the field' all the time. Some of it is scheme-wise to open other guys up. Against certain coverages, I have certain responsibilities. We do attack vertically. That's a strength of ours, and I'm one of the guys that they definitely use to do that."
Combine all that with a San Francisco defense that gave up 396 yards passing to Atlanta's Matt Ryan in the NFC title game, and it could add up to a very long night for the 49ers.
"Joe Flacco, he's playing excellent football right now," former 49ers star receiver Jerry Rice said. "You've got Torrey Smith and also Anquan Boldin on the outside, and passes over 18 yards. They targeted Torrey Smith 109 times. So they're not afraid to throw the ball deep. The secondary of the San Francisco 49ers, they have had problems with the deep ball, so they can't let these guys run free."
The 49ers know this. Whether they can prevent Smith & Co. from breaking loose is another story. Rice is also a threat - he caught 61 passes for 478 yards during the regular season.
"I think No. 1, you've got one (receiver) that's got track speed that will take the top off your defense, so he's going to draw some attention," San Francisco cornerback Carlos Rogers said. "Anquan is a very physical guy. He doesn't go deep as much as Torrey, but he's got the ability to. He's just got that connection, strong arm guy, physical guy, so it's going to be a challenge with him, too.
"We're challenged at every position. The tight end in the red zone, he's got a connection, too. Ray Rice out of the backfield, people don't look at that, but when you break down film, he continues to make linebackers look silly and break yards. ... So everybody on our side of the ball has their hands full with those guys."
On the other side of the ball, the Ravens' defense will be poised to hitch their emotions to middle linebacker Ray Lewis for the final stage of his last ride into retirement. The 37-year-old announced before Baltimore's first playoff game that he would quit when the Ravens ended their run, and since that time they've been played their best football of the year.
So has Lewis. He has a team-high 44 tackles during the playoffs after missing the previous 10 games with a torn right triceps.
"They're going to be up," San Francisco running back Frank Gore said. "Ray Lewis means a lot to that organization. He's been playing the game for a long time, he's probably the best at his position and guys love him."

• Enquirer reporter Sharon Coolidge's use of open records law documented Cincinnati's lax enforcement of lead paint removal orders. She told CityBeat that her coverage included positive impacts in addition to those above in my main column:
The day after her story was published, Mayor Mark Mallory ordered health officials to explain why they hadn't forced problem landlords to clean up their properties.
Three public hearings led to a comprehensive city plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning by 2010. The plan lowers the medical threshold at which health officials can intervene, thus catching lead poisoning in its earliest stages.
City Council gave the health department more than $1 million to finance reforms. Poor families are getting kits to detect whether their homes are contaminated.
In one of his first acts as new governor, Ted Strickland allowed cities to sue lead-paint producers; Cincinnati is suing Sherwin-Williams.
State lawmakers are considering a new law, named after a family featured in the Enquirer story, to provide $20,000 grants for lead removal.
• A more recent public benefit from open records laws involved the Enquirer suit to obtain secret streetcar vendors' bids. Attorney Jack Greiner, who handles First Amendment issues for the paper, said that Cincinnati's ordinance requires bids be available for public review. Faced with resistance, the Enquirer went to court. Hamilton County appellate judges agreed with the paper, rejecting company arguments that records were exempt from public records law as "trade secrets."
• Unless you're living under a Rock of Cliches, you've read or heard that flu is sweeping the nation. Every sneeze, every cough, every chill and shiver warns us that the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse is tethering his pale horse at our curb. The catch is that despite breathless news media offerings, little unusual is happening except for an early, aggressive onset of the perennial scourge. Thousands die every year from flu, most of them elderly. It would be news if we didn't. Annual death estimates — hampered by incomplete reporting and similar health problems — range from 3,000 to 49,000.
• An Enquirer Sunday Forum carried Michael Kinsley's column about Hillary Clinton's extensive foreign travel as secretary of state. Kinsley doubts the value of much of her travel but in today's world, "The less important the trip, the more prestige you gain by taking it." Having time and money to waste proves you have time and money to waste . . . even if you're on the taxpayers' clock and paycheck. Maybe that explains an otherwise inexplicable Enquirer revelation that Steve Chabot is a foreign policy expert, citing his extensive foreign travel at taxpayer expense.
• Enquirer reporter Dan Horn produced two nay-saying front page stories. Both were welcome surprises from Cincinnati's "get on the team" daily. One questioned the argument that right-to-work laws provide an economic boost in states like Indiana, Michigan, or, potentially, Ohio. That anti-union policy was a staple topic in my 1950s high school debating days. Economic analysis, like divining why crime rates change, is more complicated than whether union membership is optional or required in a "union shop." Too many union/right-to-work debates — fueled by no-compromise advocates putting re-election before public benefit — ignore complexity.
• A second invocation of skepticism by the Enquirer's Dan Horn raised serious doubts about feel-good gun buy-back programs. I'll go this far on guns: each firearm bought back and destroyed (not bought back and sold to dealers for resale) is a gun that won't kill someone. Cincinnati Police destroy buy-back weapons not needed for investigations. Buy-back, however, won't change life on Cincinnati streets where scores of young men kill each other each year. Anyone who wants a firearm can get one faster than you can say, "Your money or your life." Similar doubts about Cincinnati's gun buy-back program made Page 1 of the New York Times.
• Fox 19's Dave Culbreth came up with a smart take on the controversial idea of arming teachers and school administrators. He interviewed Target World assistant manager Amy Hanlon who demonstrated how a woman could carry a concealed handgun. As Culbreth noted, there was nothing special about her clothing: slacks, blouse, overshirt. By the end of the interview, she'd removed nine concealed semi-automatics or revolvers, including one tucked under her bra in a holster that also was displayed on a counter-top mannequin bust.
• WCPO-TV plans an online local news challenge to the Enquirer's Cincinnati.com, according to Business Courier's Jon Newberry. It's a pioneering effort by Cincinnati-based E. W. Scripps that could go national, Newberry suggested. Whether additional reporters, producers, editors, etc., will come from the Business Courier and other established news media was not clear. Scripps — a Cincinnati-based national print and broadcast company— published the Cincinnati Post until it closed the barely-sustaining joint operating agreement with the Enquirer ended in 2007.
• Blogger Peter Heimlich tipped me to Channel 19 anchor Ben Swann's web gig called Full Disclosure. Swann says there are enough witnesses to challenge official police narratives of single shooters at three recent massacres: the Oak Creek, Wis., Sikh temple; Aurora, Colo., Batman movie premiere, and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Salon.com challenged Swann about his apparent validation of those counter-narratives and he replied in part, "The bottom line for me is the issue of asking questions. As you will notice, I don't call these operations 'false flag' as many people do … (his ellipses) But as a journalist, that is not my job. Rather, my job is to be a critical thinker." And he added, "most of our media fail to question stories . . . a journalist's job is not to have the answers, it is to ask the questions and search for truth."
• There's a pathetic undercurrent in the Enquirer's Monday Page 1 profile of Henry Heimlich's efforts to regain American Red Cross support for his eponymous "maneuver." The physician claims there is no research to support the Red Cross's decision to return to back slaps rather than Heimlich abdominal thrusts as first response to choking. Other than Heimlich's self-serving claims, there is no research proving his maneuver works as well or better than back slaps. Assertions are not evidence. Moreover, the Red Cross adopted Heimlich's maneuver years ago without the research Heimlich is calling for now. Heimlich has anecdotal evidence of lives saved but that's not research. Wisely, reporter Cliff Radel quoted skeptics and critics of the maneuver. That kind of even-handedness usually escapes admiring Enquirer stories about Heimlich. And if the paper ever corrected a Memorial Day feature on water safety, I missed it. The Enquirer drew national ridicule with its illustration on how to use Heimlich's maneuver to revive a standing near-drowning victim.
• It's spitting into the wind to ask sports reporters to question what jocks tell them, especially when truth-telling endangers future access. In the Good Old Days, who read about fornicating, drunken and racist professional athletes? More recently, golf reporters and publications didn't write about married Tiger Woods' screwing around. This time, it's Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o's stories about the heart-ripping death of girlfriend Lennay Kekua from leukemia. Editors loved it. Now, it seems she was a fiction amplified by incurious and credulous reporters. It took sports blog Deadspin.com to reveal the fraud after its reporters could find no public records of her birth, life, education or death. Almost as nauseating as the saccharine original stories about her death are the faux introspection by sycophant reporters caught by the fraud.
• We've gone a week without a promo for Oprah's interview with champion liar-cheater Lance Armstrong. That's closure. So what does Armstrong do now? Pitch performance enhancing drugs and blood transfusions on ESPN and late TV?
• Al
Gore sold his troubled Current cable network to Al Jazeera, the
satellite network based in Qatar in the Persian Gulf. Good. Nothing bars
foreigners from owning a cable network here, unlike the law that forced
Australian Rupert Murdoch to obtain U.S. citizenship after he bought Fox.
Backed by the ruling Qatari emir, Al Jazeera scandalized Americans for broadcasting tirades by Osama bin Laden and other anti-western Arab leaders. We should have welcomed what they said in Arabic for home audiences. Too often, we rely on sanitized remarks for non-Arabic-speaking audiences or Washington assurances it was trying to verify that speakers were who they said they were. Al Jazeera also infuriated Arab audiences by carrying interviews with American and Israeli officials that others in the Middle East ignored or rejected.
Most American cable companies won't carry the newer Al Jazeera English but its website is one of my daily stops, especially when, say, AQIM kidnaps oil workers in Algeria or French Legionnaires assist Mali's pathetic army in trying to halt and turn back Islamist rebels.
Al Jazeera coverage of "Arab Spring" was so aggressive that embattled North African rulers correctly accused it of supporting anti-government demonstrators. So is Al Jazeera open to interference by the Qatari government? Yes. Are its biases plain to anyone who listens or reads? Yes. We don't ignore Fox News for its biases.
• American news media employ local nationals in foreign bureaus for their contacts and language skills. That reliance failed when no one reported the 2010 anti-semitic rant by Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood leader who now is Egypt's president. In part, Morsi called Jews "apes and dogs" and shared the fantasy that the Palestinian Authority was "created by the Zionist and American enemies for the sole purpose of opposing the will of the Palestinian people and its interests."
Still nastier, he urged listeners "to nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for them: for Zionists, for Jews . . . bloodsuckers who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs."
A stump speech in his Nile Delta hometown, it took more than two years to reach English-language news media. The original Arabic video is on YouTube now. I encountered a translation of Morsi this month on a Forbes website that, in part, chided the New York Times for missing or killing the story. Days later, it was on Page 1 of the Times. After that, the Obama administration an official "tut-tut."
• Maybe they'll blame one of those ominous Canadian Cold Air Masses (meteorological, not theological) for the brain freeze that disabled news judgment at the Toronto Star. Flippant columns about rape aren't funny. Jimromenesko.com posted these first two paragraphs of Rosie DiManno's column about testimony during the sexual abuse trial of a local physician:
"She lost a womb but gained a penis.
"The former was being removed surgically — full hysterectomy — while the latter was forcibly shoved into her slack mouth..."
• Headlines are an art that always risks a step too far in an attempt to cure the copy editor boredom and draw readers to a story. This one, from philly.com, achieves both in what has become a national story about a popular and well-connected parish pastor: "Catholic priest/meth dealer liked sex in the rectory." You know you'd read more.
• Finally, this from Shannyn Moore, who blogs on HuffPost as "Just a Girl from Homer, Alaska." It appeared first in the Anchorage Daily News and makes her points without venturing beyond the pale into bad taste: "I'm not advocating for no guns. I like mine and am not about to give them up. But in this country, my uterus is more regulated than my guns. Birth control and reproductive health services are harder to get than bullets. What is that about? Guns don't kill people — vaginas do?"
Occupy Wall Street may have been onto something. A new report from left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) found Ohio's income gap — the income difference between the rich and poor — is wide and growing.
Since the 1970s, the poorest 20 percent saw no change in real
income, the middle 20 percent gained 21.1 percent, the top 20 percent
gained 50.6 percent and the top 5 percent gained 85.1 percent.
In terms of real dollars, low-income and middle-income Ohioans have actually seen their income drop since the 1990s. The drop caused a "lost decade" for Ohio's lower and middle classes, according to the report. The bottom 20 percent saw a 6.9 percent drop in real income from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s, while the middle 20 percent saw a 2.9 percent drop. Real incomes for the top 20 percent and top 5 percent remained the same.
The shifts have caused a startling difference in real income, which the report calculated by looking at real dollars after federal taxes and including the value of the Earned Income Tax Credit, housing subsidies and food stamps. The poorest 20 percent make on average about $20,500, and the middle 20 percent make on average about $58,100. Meanwhile, the top 5 percent make about $221,800 — 10.8 times as much as the bottom 20 percent and 3.8 times as much as the middle 20 percent.
Real dollars are a measurement used to gauge the value of money and income after inflation. If a family sees its income in real dollars drop, it means income increases, if they exist, are not keeping up with inflation.
The widening income gap is part of a nationwide trend. In comparison to other states, Ohio mostly did better than the national average. Ohio was not included in any of the six top 10 ranks for inequality, which ranked states for rises in inequality during different time periods. During the late 2000s, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Georgia and New York had the greatest gaps between the wealthiest and poorest. In the same time period, New Mexico, California, Georgia, Mississippi and Arizona had the biggest gaps between the wealthiest and middle.
Part of the cause for the widening gap is the recent recession, but the CBPP report found that the wealthiest have seen their incomes rise again in the recession's aftermath, while middle and lower incomes have not. The report also blamed government policies — deregulation, trade liberalization, the weakening safety net, the lack of effective laws regarding collective bargaining and the declining real value of the minimum wage — and the expansion of investment incomes, which the CBPP says "primarily accrue to those at the top of the income structure."
The report finished with some suggestions for states: raise minimum wage and index it for inflation, improve unemployment insurance systems, make state tax systems more progressive and strengthen safety nets.
Policy Matters Ohio, which pointed to the findings in a statement, says the report warrants action. "Poor and middle-income families are seeing their income fall in real dollars and relative to higher earners," said Amy Hanauer, executive director of Policy Matters Ohio, in the statement. "When households already subsisting on less than $23,000 a year see their incomes drop, that means hunger, instability, poor school performance and worse. Ohio needs to do more to improve the lives of families in this state."
On National Coming Out Day, Cincinnati's only openly gay city councilman told CityBeat that equality for America's Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered people would take a hit under a President Mitt Romney.
"On day one (of his presidency) he (Romney) could hurt gay families by reinstating Don't Ask, Don't Tell and hurt security for our country," Seelbach said. "We need as many people serving as possible."
Councilman Chris Seelbach spoke to CityBeat as he waited to vote early outside of the Hamilton County Board of Elections.
Proponents of the measure that prevented openly gay service members from serving in the military have said repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell would damage the country's combat-readiness.
A study published by the Williams Institute at University of California Los Angeles Law School in September found that there has been no overall negative impact on military readiness, unit cohesion, recruitment, retention or morale.
Seelbach said there would be a stark contrast for LGBT people under President Barack Obama and his GOP rival. He pointed to the Obama administration's refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court; his vocal approval of same-sex marriage; anti-discrimination measures signed by the president that, among other things, give same-sex partners the right to visit their loved ones in the hospital and make medical decisions.
He said the next president would also likely have the opportunity to appoint new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. The court will likely decide the fate of California's Proposition 8, which outlawed gay marriage.
"If you care about equality, you've got to vote," Seelbach said. "The easiest way to vote is to vote early."
The Obama campaign in Ohio plans to release a new online ad touting the president's accomplishments for LGBT people.
The ad, made available to CityBeat, features Zach Wahls, a gay-rights activist born to a lesbian couple via artificial insemination. Wahls is known for his testimony before the Iowa House Judiciary Committee against a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage in that state.
In the ad, Wahls touts the president's accomplishments and exhorts Ohioans to reelect Obama.
"We want to make sure that we're all doing everything we can this fall to get out, register voters, canvass, knock on doors, get our family members and friends out to the polls so that we can re-elect the best president this country has ever seen on LGBT rights," Wahls said.

Receive spousal, mother's and father's, or surviving spouse benefits under Social Security
Receive equal family health and pension benefits as federal civilian employees
The Court did not rule on the second provision of DOMA, which verbalizes that states that don't approve of same-sex marriage can't be forced to recognize gay unions performed in states where it's
legal, nor did the court decide whether or the act of gay marriage is actually constitutional.
In arguments before the Circuit Court in April, Mary Bonauto, a lawyer for Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), called DOMA a result of Congress' "moral disapproval."
"It is simply that, frankly, Congress just didn't want to deal with same-sex couples ... this is across-the-board disrespect," she stated in the hearings.
Cincinnati inched closer to equality after moving forward Monday with a measure that would allow city employees in same-sex and other partnerships to receive health insurance benefits.
With a push by Chris Seelbach, the first openly gay councilman in Cincinnati, the measure passed the finance committee with the support of all council members except Charlie Winburn, who abstained.
The approval came after a city report found that same-sex benefits could cost as much as $543,000 a year if 77 partners took advantage of the benefits.
The report suggested City Council mimic a system already in place in Columbus, which requires partners to prove financial interdependency and that they have been together for six months.
If the measure passes City Council, Cincinnati would be more caught up with other cities, states, countries and companies that already grant health benefits to same-sex couples. Earlier this year, the Human Rights Campaign estimated that 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies offer health benefits to same-sex couples, including Procter and Gamble and Fifth Third Bank.
Altogether, it seems like a small step toward equality. What's unfortunate is none of it would be required if same-sex marriage was legal in Ohio. If it was, same-sex couples could get marriage benefits, including health-care coverage.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on Tuesday approved the petition language for an amendment that would overturn Ohio's 2004 ban on gay marriage. The new amendment would define marriage as "a union of two consenting adults, regardless of gender."
The amendment now moves forward to the Ohio Ballot Board. If approved, it will then require 385,253 signatures from registered voters and, finally, voter approval.
Ohio banned same-sex marriage in 2004 with a majority vote of 62 percent. But Ian James, co-founder of the Freedom to Marry Coalition, told the Huffington Post that he is optimistic things will be different this time, citing recent polls that show the nation is moving toward support of gay marriage.
A well-known Cincinnati philanthropist is among four people selected to receive the first-ever Women of Distinction Award by the national YWCA.
Francie Pepper is being recognized for her years of work in support of issues involving women, girls and racial justice.
Pepper has served on the board of the Cincinnati YWCA since 1996, and also served as chair of its board from 2000-04. She has played a critical role for women who have experienced domestic violence, co-chairing a YWCA capital campaign that raised $7.5 million for a larger shelter that tripled the agency's capacity to serve battered women and their children so they wouldn't have to be put on a waiting list.
Also, some campaign funds were used to restore the YWCA's historic headquarters, located on Walnut Street downtown, add a childcare center to the facility.
Further, Pepper has volunteered for numerous organizations and causes in Greater Cincinnati, and her work in support of domestic violence awareness programs has gotten national recognition. She is a major supporter of the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College, an internationally recognized repository of manuscripts, archives, photographs, periodicals and other primary sources in women's history, including all of the YWCA's historical files.
Francie Pepper is the wife of John Pepper, who previously served as the chairman of the board at both Procter & Gamble and The Walt Disney Co.; she is the mother of David Pepper, a former Cincinnati city councilman and Hamilton County commissioner.
The Women of Distinction Award, bestowed by the YWCA USA, honors professional women from the private and public sectors across the United States who have demonstrated excellence, leadership and integrity in their fields and in the community, serving as role models for other successful women.
Nominations from YWCAs across the United States were solicited to find leaders whose work has made an impact on women's economic empowerment and racial justice.
Other award recipients this year are:
• Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), who survived an assassination attempt in January 2011, and is recovering from her injuries;
• Lt. Col. Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran and ex-Army helicopter pilot who combat wounds led to the amputation of her legs and cost her the use of her right arm; and
• Elouise Cobell, a Native
American leader who challenged the United States' mismanagement of trust funds
belonging to more than 500,000 individual Native Americans, leading to a $3.4
billion settlement.
According to the latest Census statistics, women earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. If the numbers in Kasich's offices meshed up with that statistic, women working in his office should, in theory, be making about $60,000 compared to men's $77,730.88. What gives? Perhaps it has something to do with Kasich simply not wanting to employ women in high-power positions in his office, instead relegating them to lower positions; it was Kasich, after all, who famously said, "I had a woman campaign manager, I have a woman lieutenant governor, I have a woman finance chairman, and I'm married to a woman with two daughters, OK? I've said all along, I really wish I could get some guys around me."
Either way, the gap in Kasich's office should raise some eyebrows about staffing and salary decisions by the state governor.
Critics of the existing pay gap nationwide insist that it continues to triumph because of occupational and lifestyle choices (e.g., not as many women pursue high-paying, elected positions), "rigorous analysis of data by labor economists Francine Blau and Lawrence Kahn found
that over 40 percent of the pay gap cannot be explained by such
differences, concluding that 'there is evidence that…discrimination does
still continue to exist.'" according to this article published by the Center for American Progress, an independent, nonpartisan educational institute.
National media are reporting about how West Chester's favorite son is avoiding taking a stand on whether women should be admitted into the Augusta National Golf Club.
As poll after poll shows the Republican Party lagging in support among female voters, various GOP politicians have spoken in favor of admitting women into the club, seeing it as an easy way to restore some goodwill with women. The all-male institution has been roundly criticized because it typically extends membership to the CEOs of IBM Corp., but hasn't done so to its current leader, Ginni Rometty.
Among those who've recently said Augusta should admit female members are Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and John McCain. But not timid House Speaker John Boehner (R-West Chester).
Politico tried to ascertain Boehner's stance on the issue last week, to no avail. The website reported:
Asked if Boehner thinks women should be permitted into Augusta, his spokesman Michael Steel said he has "never heard him discuss it." Pressed again, he demurred.The Masters Golf Tournament is held annually at Augusta, Ga. This year's event ended Sunday, with Bubba Watson emerging as the winner.
Another website, Talking Points Memo, gave a possible reason for Boehner's reticence. It stated:
"That could be because Boehner — an avid golfer — is himself a member of an all-male golf club. The AP reported last year that Boehner has 'been chided for his membership at Burning Tree, an all-male golf club in Maryland."Located in Bethesda, Md., Burning Tree has even more restrictive policies than Augusta. "Beyond the no-women membership policy, women are not even allowed on the grounds as guests," ESPN reports.

Maria Sharapova, who's still getting her game together in hopes of defending her Aussie Open crown, was spotted with rumored boyfriend Charlie Ebersol ("MARLIE"?) in LA watching the Lakers lose to the New Orleans Hornets last night.
I guess Shrieka and her man are still going strong, and he def looks cuter here. But with only a week and a half before the Aussie Open starts I'd rather see more images of the Russian fashionista on a tennis court than a basketball court. *sigh*
Thanks for the link Tessa!

I agree Rich - he definitely looks better. Maybe Maria gave him a makeover.ReplyDelete
A Maria makeover? I'm thinking so. I mean, she prob won't be seen with an un-fashiony guy.ReplyDelete
the hair is mos def an improvement - phew!
Charlie is such a nice guy. I can't stand Maria. He deserves better. This coupling better uncouple or I will need more therapy. (I'm sure they understand my needs and will comply.)ReplyDelete
natch: Do you have the 411 on Charlie? I wonder what Shrieka's like in real life sometimes. Is she the aloof, cold, lioness she portrays on court or is she the complete opposite, down-to-earth, warm, and cuddly?ReplyDelete
- johanneJanuary 7, 2009 at 9:49 AM
Sometimes I forget she's Russian - she's always in the States! :)ReplyDelete
Rich have you gotten any info on her potential duds for the AO?? I'm sure you would have posted, but just curious....
johanne: yup here you go (see the bottom of post, option in white most likely the choice):ReplyDelete
- johanneJanuary 7, 2009 at 10:05 AM
Oh that's right! Sorry, my brain is going to mush...so many Rafa lattes.ReplyDelete
Now, I was going to answer Rich, but now I'm craving Rafa lattes...ReplyDelete
Alright, alright. Charlie is a nice guy. Everyone should be so lucky to be raised by his parents. That's all you'll get out of me in a public space.ReplyDelete
Maria, where do I start? First, I hate anyone that screams when they hit a ball and claims it's uncontrollable. It isn't, it's just hard to control. Big difference.
Second, she lost me for good when I saw her on Ellen a few years ago. They were playing ping pong. Maria's ball fell off the table, and she immediately turned to the stagehand and expected one of them to hand her another one. That's not habit, that's arrogance and the act of being spoiled by everyone around her.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late to my therapy appointment...
- AnonymousJanuary 7, 2009 at 12:10 PM
Some natch in fact you actually know nothing about Sharapova if your opinion of her is based on her apperance on Ellen.ReplyDelete
Nowhere in my post does it state my opinion of her is solely based on her appearance on Ellen.
- AnonymousJanuary 11, 2009 at 12:12 PM
Okay so I live close by Sharapova in Manhattan Beach and often see her around. She's just like every other local out here and seemingly very down to earth. Saw her open a door for someone at Starbucks once and carried her own shit at Bristol another time. (No, I do not stalk her.) I reckon she goes around unnoticed without being ~Hollywood stealth~ and she prefers that. I think any guy would be lucky to have her. Charlie seems like a good guy so works out well for both of them.ReplyDelete

Yeah, it's making me a bit anxious at the moment as I was seeing a lot of SQL errors after I opened the forum back up to everyone. It took about 15 minutes for it to stabilize -- I believe the forum was building up caches for the most commonly viewed pages, plus since the pages are all new, your local browser needs to recache everything as well. This was causing a bit of stress on the server. I'll have to pay close attention to it tonight and look at the error logs in the morning. It does take a bit getting used to, but there are some nice improvements to be had.
Seeing that I don't have a facebook, your post was the first time I've ever "liked" anything. Boy was that exhilarating!
It will take some time to get used to, but I like it!

In theory, as they do now have a skin migration tool. Yeah, it seems that unless you spend a fair bit of money to get someone to create a custom skin for you, you're going to get a somewhat half-assed effort. Custom skins are always going to be a problem--anytime there's a major upgrade, you're probably going to have to redo most of the skin. I will have the "Splat" and "Deflection" skins back in a day or two, and I may buy some other nice skins that have been created for IP.Board 3.2 (was browsing some of them earlier today). Nice to have some choices.
Once you get the AtariAge skin looking the same for posts, post previews, signatures, profile pages, and blogs, I hope it will become easy for future updates to use your skin settings automatically without you needing to do a ton of work or needing to hire anyone (seemed like the last guy you hired gave up half way through).
I hope all of your colors, fonts, font sizes, link colors, bold links instead of underlined links, custom status above avatars instead of below, and so on will seamlessly move from one upgrade to the next.

Ahh haven't even tried it on the iPhone and iPad. It's a new Mobile Skin, one built into the forum. The previous one was a third-party skin that I paid for, but the author has not yet updated it for 3.2.
Looks great on the iPad!

I made a change that should make the Mobile skin come up by default on most mobile devices, and was able to see it on my iPhone and iPad.
The normal skin comes up on android as well. However, I found the button to change to mobile. The new mobile is much nicer than the old one IMHO. Thanks for all the hard work!

Yep, why click once to do things when three clicks are more fun? I love scrolling down to click on "topics I participated in" every time. That's much better than a simple "my content" link. Clicking once to get what you want is so Web 2.0! More clicking and more scrolling is what we need!
Other than that, I think you are running one of the best forum packages out there.
Posted Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:10 AM
Yeah, mine too.
The animated avatars don't work any more.
Posted Sun Sep 18, 2011 7:02 AM
Ahhh, that is probably because the user photos and avatars were "merged" so there is only one photo per user now. Previously you had an avatar that was shown in posts and a user photo that was shown on your profile page (and elsewhere). This has been changed so you only have one image that is shown consistently all over the forum for each user (which is a much needed change!) I'll have to investigate to see what's going on with the avatars, but looks like they are being resized and shown in posts, rather than using them in their native size (which would likely kill the animation).
The animated avatars don't work any more.
Good, glad you like it.
The mobile skin looks very slick on my IPAD.
Ahhhh, I will try to fix that right away, I think I know what's going on there.
One thing I noticed, is that the emoticons are missing in posts. I just see a question mark icon instead.
I'll take a look at that.
Would also be cool that you could jump back to the forum list when you are at the "bottom" of a thread.
Now you have to scroll all the way up.

Deanna M. Neff, MPH
Cystolitholapaxy is a procedure to break up bladder stones into smaller pieces and remove them. Bladder stones are minerals that have built up in the bladder. Ultrasonic waves or lasers may be delivered through a tool called a cystoscope to break up the stones.
This procedure is done to treat bladder stones.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like
Your doctor may do the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure, including:
Other things to remember before the procedure:
This procedure can be done under local,
spinal, or
anesthesia. It will block any pain. Sedation may also be used to ease anxiety.
With local anesthesia, a special jelly or fluid will be inserted into your urethra. This will numb the area. If you are having spinal anesthesia, it will be injected into your spine. General anesthesia will make you stay asleep during the procedure.
The doctor will place a tiny flexible probe, called a cystoscope, through your urethra toward the bladder. The probe has a camera for viewing. Imaging guidance, like
ultrasound, will help the doctor locate the bladder stones. A saline solution may be flushed through the urinary tract. After a stone is located, the doctor will grab the stone and turn on the device to break it. A special basket or forceps will be used to grab the stone fragments and remove them.
The bladder and surrounding structures will be examined. The doctor may place a stent in your urethra to help protect the lining while the fragments pass or to repair damage.
Depending on the type of anesthesia used, you may be able to move around after the procedure. You may still have a catheter inside your urethra.
This is usually done in an outpatient setting. You will not need to stay overnight. The procedure takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the stones.
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help with pain after the procedure.
After the procedure, the care center staff may provide the following care:
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

On this day...
Country music star Jason Aldean was born in Macon. The Windsor Academy graduate was actually born Jason Aldine Williams but chose his stage name because he thought "Jason Williams" sounded too generic.
RELATED | Jason Aldean Catches the 'Night Train'
RELATED | Aldean Beat Out for Entertainer of the Year Award
His rise to fame took a while. After joining the house band at Nashville South in Macon, he moved to Nashville at age 21. He would sign to two different record labels and get dropped twice.
About six years after moving to Nashville and feeling stuck, he gave himself six months to "make it" or he was going to return to Georgia.
Five weeks later, he signed to indie label Broken Bow Records, released radio hits "Hicktown" and "Why," both on his million-selling self-titled debut, which earned him "Top New Male Vocalist" from the Academy of Country Music.
Five albums and sixteen singles later, he's gone certified platinum four times -- the latest being "Night Train" -- and had 16 singles in the Top Ten Hot Country chart.
Also on this day:
1940 - Basketball is televised for the first time (Fordham University vs. the University of Pittsburgh in Madison Square Garden).
1940 - race car driver Mario Andretti is born
1954 - The first color television sets sold to the general public.
1958 - Convicted business man Jack Abramoff is born
1988 - Cincinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman is born
1991 - The first Gulf War ends.
1993 - ATF agents raided the Branch Davidian church in Waco, Texas, starting a 51-day standoff.
2009 - Radio broadcaster Paul Harvey died.
