Tredaptive is a pharmaceutical agent which combines Niacin AND Laropiprant. One must consider that Laropiprant, a DP1 antagonist, has potential to cause the adverse events found in this study. To discount Niacin entirely, when the study does not use this molecule in isolation, demonstrates poor study design and research integrity..
I blogged about this the other day. The article I referred to stated this; "But because the final trial never compared Merck's new drug combination to niacin alone, figuring out which drug caused the side effect may be impossible." Which drug? Since niacin has been used safely for decades, might we logically conclude that the symptom producer is laropiprant? If Merck made this conclusion two factors would need to be acknowledged; 1. That their addition of the non-flushing factor, laropiprant added to niacin caused the increased risk 2. That niacin was and still is safe....
Jojy Cheriyan
I also wonder why niacin alone to be blamed for adverse effects.Could it be due to laropiprant? Niacin is a cheap OTC product affordable to common man.There are several studies which proved the benefits of niacin in increasing the HDL cholesterol.I see this as a hype,as we need more evidence to prove niacin is the culprit..
bjorn olson
Why was Laropiprant not studied separately? I do not believe Niacin is causing the problem I am 62 and have been taking Niacin since I was 20 with no adverse events..
Lee Cash
I concur with the earlier comments. Here is why. A close reading of this study clearly indicates accounting for interactions with the anti-flushing agent was not built into the original experimental design. Would not a multi-variant (ANOVA) design have eliminated that design deficiency? Without appropriate design and controls, assigning all treatment variance to extended-release Niacin amounts to "junk science." Does one not find it remarkable that none of the medically trained journalists raised this concern? My credentials? (a) For twenty years, I have been using 2,000 mg daily of immediate release Niacin, dosed at 1,000 mg taken 30 to 45 minutes after an 81 mg enteric aspirin and either lunch or dinner. Over the past 5 years, my physicians have added 60 mg simvastatin (40 /20), then CABG. (b) I hold a Master in Public Administration from Georiga State University and have some additional graduate work and practical experience with experimental design and statistical analysis. Reading the results from this study, then the simplistic media analysis does not make me want to request any changes to my CAD management. In other words, "If it ain't broke (immediate release Niacin), don't fix it." Meanwhile, my physicians and I will continue to patiently wait for a more comprehensive analysis to prevail. All the best, - Lee.

I am saddened that Dr. Sanjay Gupta is following mass media and not actually looking at the study and the flawed study. I wish there were more medical professionals willing to challenge the biased studies that are pushed through the media..
Jessica RN
Agree with above comments, and would add this: The benefits of quick release niacin (with flushing side effects) are greater than those of extended-release niacin. So, not only did they combine the niacin with an additional chemical, but they used a less-effective form of niacin. Study needs to be done comparing placebo to immediate release niacin to extended release niacin...NO other additives. Then see what the difference is..
J D Patten
Consider that niacin is only one route to higher HDL levels. Vigorous exercise gets it up there nicely. Perhaps regular exercise confers the cardiovascular benefit directly and the elevated HDL is merely an incidental artifact. That would neatly explain niacin's lack of benefit..
Jerry Segers
Jessica RN, I am not sure where you got your data, but we already went through this back in the early 1990'a (Look in medline for sustained release niacin.) It was clear back then that sustained release was better at controlling Cholesterol levels, but later studies showed it has many nasty side effects. I think it odd that everyone missed the obvious fact that the cholesterol and triglyceride levels were moved in the improved direction, but disease status did not improve, in fact it worsened. Does this prove that the method of moving the indicators is flawed as was claimed or are the indicators not really indicators at all. Said another way, if they had used an almighty statin drug in another arm of the study would they have seen the same results as with niacin? I guess we will never know..
tom lewis
The jaded thinking of Clyde is the real problem.... Statins have made people in his position quite wealthy.
que dodieu
Niacin has been shown to improve cholesterol levels,including LDL levels dropped,triglycerides fells and HDL levels increased which translate a reduction in CVD.Now,the authors conclude that niacin can cause a significant increased in hemorrhagic stroke,serious infections,and new onset diabetes.Every drugs have 2 effects which depend on the dose and the duraton of use. Wise physicians are able to weigh their risks and benefits and chose the adaptable dose and duration on each case..
abiose adedoyin
This study to my mind is inconclusive. The combination drug used should have been used separately. What prevents one from assuming the adverse effects seen are not that of Laropiprant a DP1 antagonist. The authors should go back to the drawing board. This is a very important and useful study with high expectations which we might still see if the Niacin single, and Niacin plus Laropiprant single tablets were used and results compared with this one..
For all those who still think that niacin is worth its cost and risks, Google the "AIM-HIGH trial." In 2011 this 5-year, 3,500-patient niacin-only trial was ended early by its independent data and safety monitoring board when they concluded that "high-dose, extended-release niacin offered no benefits beyond statin therapy alone in reducing cardiovascular-related complications in this trial. The rate of clinical events was the same in both treatment groups, and there was no evidence that this would change by continuing the trial." But, of course, those with either intellectual or financial investments in niacin cried: "flaws, flaws, wait for another try in THRIVE." OK, we have waited and the results are even worse, indicating actual harm in side effects. Sorry folks, here is no Easter bunny. Niacin doesn't provide any better outcomes. That's science. If you believe in niacin now, maybe I can interest you in voodoo too?.
zaur gasimov
This study once more demonstrated that possibly functionality of HDL but not level itself impact prognosis.If investigators stored blood samples they should make another laboratory tests..
To conduct a study, the product in question: niacin-nicotinic acid pure is absent is a scandal by itself. To draw a conclusion on this product,when absent,as the best source of HDL is a distortion of what HDL really is. This study is not scientific.Period.

The liberal media's bias is becoming so apparent that prominent members of the media can no longer defend the media's impartiality. Even those who are notoriously seen as unapologetically biased like CNN's Soledad O'Brien don't deny the fact that bias in the national liberal media is out of control. She recently cited the administration for its tactics against Republican ideas for Medicare reform by pointing out their strategy amounts to a scare tactic aimed at seniors.

A breast aug in my city is $5-$9,000. I've discovered a surgeon 3 hours away for almost $2,000 less than my city. It would be great to save that much but is it worth the what ifs? ( if I something happens and I have to travel back)

Choosing a plastic surgeon based on price
Learn more: http://www.michaellawmd.com/howto.html
Remember, you often get what you pay for. Costs vary across this country and so does quality. Is the other doctor a board certified plastic surgeon or just a wannabe? Be careful when looking for bargains especially when your life is at stake.
Choosing a plastic surgeon
I would categorically recommend patient seek out the most suitable plastic surgeon that's close to where he/she live. If such surgeon is not available in your city (highly unlikely if you live in a urban or suburban location in US), then you can seek out further to find the right one. Typically, when someone travels farther to seek out a particular surgeon it's because of that surgeon's reputation and/or referral from prior patients. It may not be the best idea to go far just for less money unless you have trusting referral regarding that surgeon's quality of work. Postoperatively care and management may be difficult if you have to travel far each time. Pick surgeon based on quality and proximity, not money.
Best Wishes,

Travelling three hours after surgery is tough! It is tough to travel three hours for follow up visits. If your surgeon who is charging less is a board certified plastic surgeon I am confident they are able to perform the surgery very well. Pricing depends far more on location than all the other factors mentioned previously
Traveling for Cheaper Plastic Surgery
If the plastic surgeon is board certified and has performed hundreds of breast augmentations, this may be appropriate. However, if something should happen postoperatively, this is hard to treat from far away.
Price for breast augmentation
I think that it is always best to stay close to home for surgery. When everything goes right, it is great. But if you have a problem/complication the distance is a problem. Also be careful, sometimes you get what you pay for.
Choosing Plastic Surgeon?
Selection of plastic surgeon is the most important decision you make when considering any type of surgical procedure.
I would suggest that you do your due diligence carefully and select a board certified plastic surgeon who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients in your situation. The board certification in and of itself is just a starting point; you will want to develop a sense of confidence that the plastic surgeon you are considering does good work consistently. For example, you may be helpful to talk to previous patients who have been under the care of the same surgeon. If at all possible, have the surgery performed close to where you live, for improved follow-up and handling of complications.
Do not make the choice of plastic surgeon based on cost of surgery primarily; revisionary breast surgery may be more "costly" in many ways.
Best wishes.

$2000 discount worth a 6 hour drive??
Make sure you are comfortable with the doctors bedside manners and experience. Make sure your on the same page about what you are trying to accomplish. You may be paying less or more depending on experience, surgical facility, or type of implant. Just make sure and ask all the questions and compare. You will need a post op visit, a one month appt/ 6 week appt and then a 6 month appt. Make sure your willing to go back for all of these.
Cheap Breast Augmentation?
Hello, and thank you for your question.
I would caution you as to price shopping in plastic surgery. A breast augmentation procedure or any plastic surgery procedure for that matter is not equal from surgeon to surgeon, and even more significant, plastic surgery 'board certifications' are not equal. Look for a local plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and make sure you are confortable with them and their pre/post op photos and the way they treat you. This is your body we are talking about, and the phrase 'you get what you pay for' certainly comes to mind. I fix quite a few bad outcomes of patients that price shopped, and were very unhappy, then have to pay quite a bit more to fix it. Fixing something is way more expensive than getting it right the first time, and certain things are not fully fixable.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
Out of town surgery
All I can say is that if you have a problem, you will wish you had chosen a local surgeon. Several visits at 6 hours round trip may make you wish you had reconsidered. Do you even know or know about the other surgeon? $3000 dollars would only pay for implants Operating Room and anesthesia in most places.
Best wishes.

Newcastle have reported Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri to UEFA for making racist remarks to Lomana LuaLua during the clubs' bad-tempered Champions League tie, though Vieri strenuously denied the allegation last night.
Newcastle made an official complaint after the match on Tuesday night to UEFA delegate Michal Listkiewicz, of Poland, and European football's ruling body confirmed that they are investigating the matter with a decision due to be taken by March 21. Vieri was earlier cautioned for kicking the ball away, his third yellow card of the competition, which means he will miss next week's tie against Bayer Leverkusen.
However, Vieri - whose nickname Bobo means 'stupid' - might find himself with a longer ban after an alleged incident involving LuaLua two minutes from the end of a tie in which the ugly side of Italian football reared its head and sadly went generally unpunished.
Inter had been awarded a free-kick just outside the Newcastle penalty area and there was much pushing and shoving with LuaLua, who was cautioned, and Vieri prominent in the row before play restarted.
Television evidence suggests Vieri made a racial insult to LuaLua, who was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and this could be used when UEFA discuss the case. However, Vieri claimed he had merely asked his opponent to move out of the way.
"I didn't say any words of a racist nature," Vieri said. "I just tried to distance the player."
Italy has not got a good reputation where racism is concerned. In October 2000 Lazio's Yugoslavian defender, Sinisa Mihajlovic, was suspended for two matches after comments to Arsenal's Patrick Vieira - "sustained racist insults directed at an Arsenal player," said UEFA.
Italian clubs are not in UEFA's good books at the moment. Last week in London UEFA hosted an anti-racism congress involving 64 of Europe's top clubs and 32 national associations. Inter Milan were one of several Italian clubs to confirm their presence but not turn up. In fact, there was no Italian representative at the congress, which irked UEFA.
During the game against Inter, Titus Bramble in particularly was the victim of racist taunts from the crowd while on the pitch too many robust Milan challenges were apparently not seen by Portuguese referee Cortez Batista.
Roma captain Francesco Totti, meanwhile, will be suspended from next week's Champions League tie against Ajax after he was sent off for striking Arsenal's Martin Keown during the 1-1 draw on Tuesday night. UEFA will decide the exact length of the ban on Friday week.
It could potentially lead to action being taken against Keown - who was accused by Roma coach Fabio Capello of being a "fantastic actor" - if he is deemed to have behaved unprofessionally.
However, Keown hit back last night, saying: "If Mr Capello knows anything about Martin Keown, he would know he isn't a cheat."
He added: "I saw it [Totti's arm] coming. I tried to avoid it and he caught me in the eye."

Hi all - so I am using vista home premium 64 bit.
I am having a strange problem:
When I try to print though firefox, the select printer window comes up and works fine. However, when I try to print though IE 8 or Chrome, a box pops up and says that the operation has failed. This is happening immediately after I click File --> Print, before I even see the print window with different printers, etc. I have all updates installed and using the latest version of chrome. What could this be?
Also I feel like this other problenm could be part of it. I cannot get any external 'path' windows to show up. When I try to add an attachment in gmail, the window to choose that attachment never comes. This happens in IE, firefox, and chrome. This also happens for example when running the CCleaner registry scanner and trying to save the backup of the registry, nothing comes up asking where to save, therfore I can't save it. This happens in everything (trying to upload pictures, etc.). The window I am speaking of is the Vista one that comes up when deciding where to save something or where to open something from.
Nothing changes when running in safe mode.
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks everyone

Hi all, This proposal is about add a column "datcreated" on "pg_database" to store the "timestamp" of the database creation. A couple weeks ago I had a trouble with a PostgreSQL instance, actually our ERP had some strange behaviors with some data loss, but I searched for ERRORs in log files (OS and PG) and I found nothing. Looking at the files and directories in the cluster noticed something strange, the date / time of the file "base/9999/PG_VERSION" (database of our ERP) was different compared to when we create it. So I used the following SQL to check the date / time of creation of the databases in the cluster: fabrizio=# SELECT datname, (pg_stat_file('base/'||oid||'/PG_VERSION')).modification AS datcreated fabrizio-# FROM pg_database; datname | datcreated -----------+------------------------ template1 | 2012-12-26 12:11:53-02 template0 | 2012-12-26 12:11:54-02 postgres | 2012-12-26 12:11:54-02 fabrizio | 2012-12-26 12:12:02-02 (4 rows) This isn't an elegant solution to do that, but worked fine. However, why not we have a column to store this information? Somebody have another idea?

Seahawks edge Broncos in AP Pro32 power rankings
November 22, 2013
The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos have separated themselves from the rest of the NFL in the eyes of the voters who make up the AP Pro32 power rankings.
The Seahawks took over the top spot in the poll on Tuesday with 379 points and seven-first place votes, even though the Broncos picked up the signature win of the weekend by knocking off the unbeaten and previous No. 1 Kansas City Chiefs.
The Broncos had 377 points and the other five first-place votes, while the Chiefs dropped to third with 354 points from the 12-member panel that regularly covers the league.
"The Seahawks are in the driver's seat with home field for the playoffs in their grasp if they don't make any mistakes," wrote Pat Kirwan, an analyst for Sirius XM satellite radio and CBSSports.com. "The team is getting healthy at the right time."
The Seahawks (10-1), second a week ago, welcomed back wide receiver Percy Harvin from hip surgery by routing Minnesota 41-20 on Sunday for their sixth consecutive win. Their schedule down the stretch isn't easy, though. They're off this week before getting the Saints and 49ers in back-to-back weeks — a stretch with significant playoff implications.
Still, Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune said: "The road to the NFC title clearly runs through noisy CenturyLink Field," where Seahawks fans briefly set the Guinness world record for loudest outdoor sports stadium earlier this season.
While the Seahawks are rolling in the NFC, the Broncos (9-1) proved they're still the team to beat in the AFC after knocking off the Chiefs 27-17 on Sunday night.
"Pass protection and defense stepped up versus K.C.," said former Colts and Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy, now an analyst for NBC Sports.
Like the Seahawks, the Broncos have a tough road ahead of them. They play the Patriots on Sunday night before their return game against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs (9-1) dropped to third in this week's AP Pro32, with most voters pointing to a suspect offense that cost them dearly at Mile High Stadium.
John Czarnecki of Fox Sports said the Chiefs "simply look sorry on offense," while Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com said "limitations on offense showed a bit in the loss to the Broncos."
New Orleans moved to fourth in the AP Pro32 after knocking off the 49ers, while the Panthers were fifth after beating the Patriots 24-20 in a controversial finish on Monday night.
The Panthers have now won six straight games.
"They've become a scary team with Cam Newton maturing before our eyes," Kaufman said.
New England was sixth in the poll after its loss to Carolina, a game that ended with the officials picking up a flag for pass interference when they decided that Tom Brady's pass intended for tight end Rob Gronkowski was uncatchable in the end zone as time expired.
The result was the Patriots' third loss in their last six games — with Denver on tap.
"Tough loss on the road," said former Chiefs and Jets coach Herm Edwards, now an analyst for ESPN.com, "but they'll still win the AFC East by two games."
The Colts, Niners, Bengals and Lions rounded out the top 10 in the AP Pro32. They were followed by the Bears, Eagles, Cardinals, Packers and Cowboys.

Sutter Hospitals Buck Trend - Show Accreditation Improvement
SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 27, 2001 - Despite a decline in the accreditation scores of hospitals nationwide, hospitals affiliated with Sutter Health are showing improvement. The seven Sutter-affiliated hospitals that underwent JCAHO accreditation this spring received an average score of 92.3, up nearly two points from 1998.
Nationwide, hospital accreditation scores are declining. According to the May 28 issue of Modern Healthcare, the average overall evaluation score for hospitals nationwide was 90.86 in 2000, compared to 92.29 in 1997.
In 1998, Sutter Health began a program to help its not-for-profit affiliate hospitals prepare for accreditation surveys and share best practices. Systemwide scores improved that year to an average score of 90.7 compared to 87 in 1995. In addition, the number of Type I recommendations dropped dramatically, especially in the area of Environment of Care standards. Type I's declined by 52 percent. Working together, facilities have been able to learn from one another and adopt best practices to comply with JCAHO standards.

I was hoping to witness an afternoon of mass weddings to end my reign and sign off my final post as the seasonal love blogger this summer. It was a way to go out with a bang – in the same vein I'm expecting the weekend's Stockholm Pride celebrations to come to a close.
This year, organizers had arranged an event entitled "Five minutes and a lifetime of love" to take place at Pride House, otherwise known as the capital's Kulturhuset. The idea? To consecutively marry around 20 gay or lesbian couples during a two-hour period on a Friday afternoon.
I only found out this week it had been cancelled. When I called Stockholm Pride to ask why, I left an answerphone message and received no response. When I called Kulturhuset they cited "lack of interest" as something of a hearsay reason.
It's been over a year now since Sweden legally entitled gay couples the right to marry. So if the event was called off because couples weren't exactly queuing up to tie the knot, should we really be surprised? Making a statement or public spectacle is not the way everyone wants to celebrate their big day.
Sweden's gay community fought long and hard for same-sex marriage legislation to pass – perhaps they just don't feel the need to stick out of the crowds any more.
On the other hand, one wonders whether they are just happy to put up and shut up after getting want they wanted. They need to make a scene and their voice heard in parts of the world that are not as liberal as Sweden when it comes to gay issues. For me that goes hand-in-hand with their party-love-politics philosophy.
But they are getting married. We know that. According to Statistics Sweden, 774 same-sex couples married in 2009 from May 1st, the day the law was introduced.
A wedding shouldn't be a PR stunt. I've never really pondered how they should be much before now. But during a love-blogging month along with a proposal in hand, I guess it's about time to start.
Now that's what I call a happy ending.

Like other medical practices, veterinarian offices need a solution to help manage administrative functions and patient information. From initial contact with patients and pet owners to automated reminders and billing, veterinary software is available to streamline operations for a smoother patient experience.
In this guide, we'll cover the following topics:
Common Features of Veterinary Software
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Important Considerations
Recent Events You Should Know About
The features of veterinary software are quite similar to those of human-based medical practices, and share some of the same trends. The goal is to automate some manual processes that occur regularly and enhance veterinary capabilities to improve patient treatment and increase convenience for their owners.
These features typically include:
|Electronic medical records
|Medical offices use electronic medical record (EMR) or electronic health record (EHR) software to keep track of patient details and store documents. A backbone of veterinary practices, the EMR includes past visit records, vaccination and lab documents, diagnoses and other details used for each visit.
|Medical billing or point of sale (POS)
|Most systems offer some type of billing and invoicing capabilities to make transactions simpler. Other vendors may offer the ability to integrate other accounting or POS applications instead.
|Patient scheduling
|Veterinary software users can schedule appointments for existing patients or begin profiles for new visitors. Many systems offer an easy-to-use calendar view for scheduling to drag and drop appointments and add other information, such as staff assignments, rooms or other notes.
|Automated reminders
|Patients are often busy, so sending a basic reminder or alert for an upcoming visit is an effective trend in appointment management. Schedule notifications based on a date or set up recurring automated messages.
|Inventory management
|Vet clinics need to maintain a supply of medications, vaccinations, food, treats and other office consumables and find the optimal stock quantities. This functionality can help offices create purchase orders, track batches and generate inventory reports.
|Document and image storage
|Users can store important digital documents and images such as X-rays, scans or lab results, in a secure location for quick retrieval.
|Microchipping and boarding
|Veterinary software can offer support features for microchipping, with connections to commonly used databases for lost pets. Additionally, users can manage boarding reservations and records.
Of those looking for new software, most cite at least one of these reasons:
"I'm replacing old, outdated software that is no longer supported." This is a common complaint of software buyers from any industry, but it's particularly important for medical practices to maintain software updates for compliance and security reasons.
Technology is imperfect, so if the system ever crashes in the middle of a busy day, support will be needed to get back up and running.
"I'm progressing from manual methods to more automation." Even smaller vet practices can be buried in paperwork to manage, which reduces efficiency. By transitioning to veterinary software, you can reduce the clutter, make it easier to retrieve information and prevent errors or missing documents.
"I'm moving from several disparate systems to an integrated suite." When a pet owner comes in with their sick cat, you don't want to enter their medical history in multiple systems and hope all accounts are up-to-date.
Modern veterinary management software centralizes the most-used applications in one interface for quicker and more efficient workflows that keep sensitive medical data secure and accessible to the appropriate employees.
With any software purchase, there are many factors to consider aside from basic functionality and price. Deployment options and various add-on modules can turn a generic suite into a software package that meets all of your needs. Consider these when seeking software:
The veterinary and pet health industries are constantly changing in ways that impact the daily duties of doctors, nurses and office staff. Here are some recent events that are important to know:
New in 2017: Global Dental Guidelines. Standards for diagnosing and treating dental problems for pets has, historically, been limited. In 2017, the World Small Animal Veterinary Association expects to release the first Global Dental Guidelines. When available, these documents will add a new layer of expertise for vets, and can be stored within software for quick retrieval.
Vet practice culture is big factor in success. A new study, announced at the American Animal Hospital Association 2016 State of the Industry presentation, shows how important working relationships and company culture are to the success of a vet practice. Some key takeaways include:
Starting salaries are up, but job market still tough for vets. The starting salaries for new veterinary graduates has been on the decline for the past few years, and the number of new vet professionals finding positions straight out of college reached a high of 1,446 in 2015—up from the record low of 598 in 2012. While these signs show promise for the industry, it also represents a tightening of the job market.

FORTY boats took part in the first two offshore Weymouth Double Races – and the conditions were like chalk and cheese.
Leg one of the double-handed series event took place from the Solent to Weymouth.
Despite fears that the wind might be too light, everyone got away on time in a SW breeze of around eight knots.
Classes two and four started together at 7.35pm and classes one and three got away 10 minutes later.
One of the clinchers in this race was always going to be whether there would be enough wind to get out of the Solent before the tide turned between 10pm and 11pm.
With the breeze steadily declining it proved to be a very close call.
Some of those who made it into Christchurch Bay managed to keep going slowly in more or less the right direction but others found themselves in holes and had to kedge until the breeze slowly started to fill in from the N or NNE.
Rare was the first boat to pick up the new breeze and by around 3am most were underway again with kites up.
As dawn approached the breeze continued to build and move between N and NE but most held onto their kites to the finish line.
Leg two from Weymouth to the Solent saw a contrasting forecast of a 15 to 20 knot northerly breeze.
The starting order was once again classes two and four, followed by one and three and all were away cleanly and on time. Although cold, the port tack along the Jurassic coast was sunny and clear and the sea was slight.
At St Alban's, the wind became gustier and the sea was choppy, once round Durlston Head and into Christchurch Bay the swell was more pronounced and the gradient slowly built.
The fleet split between the Needles and the North Channel. The strongest winds of the day were reserved for the western Solent where those who had hoped for a respite in the last 10 miles to the finish were disappointed by the force six to seven apparent winds.

The Beacon Journal's ''Power Poll'' ranks teams based on expectations for the 2008 season within their OHSAA division relative to other area teams. It is not a predictor of head-to-head strength. Here are the first rankings with division and 2007 record.
1. Walsh Jesuit (III, 9-2)
Quarterback Kyle Snyder and running backs Cameron Ontko and Armand Dehaney give the Warriors plenty of offensive firepower. Big Ten recruits Pat McShane (Indiana) and Brian Smith (Northwestern) will anchor the lines. If the Warriors' defense holds up, this could be a big season on Wyoga Lake Road.
2. Louisville (II, 12-3)
Quarterback Neal Seaman and receiver-defensive back Brandon Mathie are back for a Leopards team that was the 2007 Division II state runner-up.
3. Northwest (III, 12-1)
The Division III poll champion has some holes to fill, but lineman Nate Klatt (Michigan State) and running back Danny Beers head an impressive list of returnees.
4. St. Vincent-St. Mary (IV, 9-3)
Coach Dan Boarman's second Irish team, which will be led by receiver Todd Culver and linebacker Harvie Tuck IV, is primed for another season to remember for the Green Street faithful.
5. Massillon (I, 4-6)
Jason Hall is seeking to make an impressive debut as the Tigers' head coach, just as he did in 2007 with an inexperienced Nordonia team. Running back J.T. Turner and linebacker Matt Rose are the leaders
6. Highland (III, 6-4)
The Hornets' fans have been waiting for this senior class to arrive, and that time is now. Back Chris Snook and linebacker Tyler Houska anchor strong offensive and defensive units.
7. Nordonia (I, 10-2)
The Knights, one of the surprise teams in the area last season, will sneak up on no one this season. Tailback John Hamilton and linebacker Luke Batton are potent offensive and defensive leaders.
8. Aurora (III, 9-2)
Lineman Adam Bellamy, an Ohio State recruit, and defensive back-wide receiver Dee Brizzolara will lead the Greenmen's quest for a fourth consecutive appearance in the state playoffs.
9. Wadsworth (I, 9-2)
Dru Jones, the leading all-time rusher in Medina County history, is gone, but the Grizzlies have a deep and talented junior class ready to fill the void.
10. Brunswick (I, 13-1)
Ricky Manco, who takes over at quarterback for Beacon Journal player of the year Sean Bedevelsky, leads a solid Blue Devils team looking for a seventh consecutive trip to the state playoffs.
11. Tallmadge (II, 10-2)
The Blue Devils' attempt to win another Suburban League championship will rest on a core of seniors led by tailback Tyler Fortner and linebacker Nick Thompson.
12. Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy (IV, 9-2)
Running back John Pettigrew, who just missed rushing for 2,000 yards in 2007, returns for a Royals team trying for a fourth consecutive trip to the state playoffs.
13. Firestone (II, 7-4)
Coach Tim Flossie has quickly rebuilt the Falcons and has them poised to follow up the first playoff season in school history with another one.
14. Archbishop Hoban (II, 3-7)
The Knights' defense will be strong, and quarterback Josh Masters and tight end Brian Slack are back to lead a potentially strong offense.
15. Garfield (I, 7-3)
The Rams will contend for honors in the City Series behind a core group of seniors led by running back-safety Tyson Gulley.
16. Ravenna (III, 8-3)
The Ravens, who will be led by running back Blayre Davis, will be seeking their second consecutive appearance in the state playoffs.
17. GlenOak (I, 6-5)
The Golden Eagles, who qualified for the state playoffs for the fourth time in school history last season, return eight starters on defense, led by lineman Aaron Williams.
18. Waynedale (V, 9-3)
Optimism is high among the Golden Bears' faithful that tailback Thad Nofsinger and his teammates will have a long run in the state playoffs.
19. Mogadore (VI, 10-2)
The Wildcats always seem to face heavy graduation losses and then find able replacements. A 22nd appearance in the state playoffs is likely.
20. Orrville (IV, 6-4)
The Red Riders, who missed the state playoffs by one spot in 2007, have plenty of offensive talent back, led by quarterback Joe Besancon and running back Josh Graber.
Others to watch: Alliance, Buckeye, Canton Central Catholic, Canton McKinley, Canton South, Cloverleaf, Ellet, Garrettsville, Green, Hudson, Jackson, Kent Roosevelt, Lake, Manchester, North Canton Hoover, Northwestern, Norwayne, Perry, Revere, Stow, Streetsboro, Tuslaw, Twinsburg.

SPORTS >> Jackrabbits roll
By TODD TRAUB
Leader sports editor
Lonokes starters sat out the second half Friday night. But the Jackrabbits earned their rest.
Lonoke blistered DeWitt 53-8 at James B. Abraham Field on Friday night, racing to a 53-0 halftime lead, sitting its starters in the final two quarters and triggering the high school sportsmanship-timing rule, otherwise known as the Mercy Rule, in which the clock runs almost continually the rest of the game.
They got their work in, Lonoke coach Doug Bost said. We had a big lead so we took them out early. But they practice hard all week, they need to play at least until halftime.
Five different players scored and the Jackrabbits rolled up 475 yards, mostly in the first half, to stay firmly in the thick of the hunt for a high seed from the 2-4A Conference.
Thats our goal to get there but I think we can be anywhere from two to five still, Bost said. We just control our own destiny by keeping winning. Its just that simple.
Lonoke outscored DeWitt 53-0 in the first half, scoring on eight of its first nine possessions; with an interception ending the Jackrabbits only failed drive of the half.
Brandon Smith scored on runs of 1, 15 and 53 yards; quarterback Michael Nelson scored on a 1-yard sneak and completed touchdown passes of 5 yards to Darius Scott, 49 yards to Todd Hobson and 19 yards on a screen to Morgan Linton.
Linton scored the halfs last touchdown on a 12-yard run up the middle.
Lonoke gained 412 yards in the first two periods, with Smith gaining his 202 and Nelson passing for 166. The Rabbits defense held the Dragons to 72 total yards in the first half while Wes Plummer, Justin Smith and Jordan Lynch each pulled down an interception for the Jackrabbits.

The future of driverless parking in Los Angeles was unveiled Thursday at a high-end Van Nuys apartment complex.
The region's first fully automated parking system lets drivers pull their car in to a bay, jump out and let the machines take over. A structural steel system of lifts and shuttles moves vehicles up, down, back and forth on pallets through one under- and three above-ground levels of parking stalls.
The system allows twice as many cars to fit into a parking structure, because there's no need for room to open car doors, and no need to leave roadway space for vehicles to drive through the garage.
"Do you still go to the bank to get cash or do you go to an ATM?" said real estate developer Christopher Alan, who developed the project. "This is the same thing."
Auto-ParkiT's (and Southern California's) first fully automated parking system enables 16 vehicles to get stored in a new, eight-unit building with no inside driving required.
Since no concrete needs to be poured, construction costs can be kept between $17,500 and $23,000 per stall (the local parking structure average is $18,000 to over $30,000 per stall).
Auto-ParkiT has similarities to concrete structure operations in Europe, Asia and on the East Coast. Alan came up with the notion to create it - which took some five years and $15 million worth of research and development - when he couldn't find anything like it that would work for one of his developments in Burbank.
"If you didn't have to go in a parking structure again, if you could just wave a key fob and let it park itself, that would be better," Alan reckoned as an Audi R8 moved smoothly and almost silently behind him on the electrically motorized system.
Omron Automation & Safety, which specializes in industrial storage systems, was one of several partners that helped develop Auto-ParkiT. Alan's Dasher Lawless company, which is named after his two sons, built the four-story apartment structure that serves as the system's showcase.
Alan said 100 projects around the country are interested in Auto-ParkiT. City Department of Building and Safety head Robert "Bud" Ovrom said a 700-stall structure is being developed for Century City.
Pallets are turned 180 degrees before vehicles are parked. When drivers want their cars back, they wave a special key fob in front of electronic readers on each floor of the building.
With a wait time of under two minutes, the car is often at the entry dock, facing nose out and ready to go by the time its driver gets off the elevator.
"It's such a nice luxury, automated valet parking," said McKenna Maduli, a television host who's lived in the building for three weeks. "I think that it's definitely something that is included in your rent, but y'know, I don't have to tip a guy every time I get my car, which is so nice because I'd definitely be broke if I had to.
"My boyfriend came over here and we got into the car and he said the system made him feel like Bruce Wayne," Maduli added. "He thought this was so Batman and so cool. We watched the show as kids and thought, `One day, I want to get into my car facing out!' And y'know, 2013, here we are."

SEAMER Ellyse Perry says big-game experience and a well-rounded bowling attack will give Australia a fighting chance against England in tonight's Women's World Twenty20 final in Colombo.
Australia, which is defending champion, is regarded as the underdog in the final after suffering a seven-wicket mauling from England in the group stage of the tournament on October 1 in Galle.
Australia scored a 28-run win over the West Indies in Friday night's semi-final, as Jodie Fields's side hit 7-115 then bowled the Windies out for 87.
But Perry, who was named player of the match after bowling big guns Stafanie Taylor (three) and Deandra Dottin (six), says taking on England's Sarah Taylor will be a big challenge.
Taylor hit an unbeaten 65 in England's group-stage win over Australia.
''Looking at our bowling attack everyone is capable of picking up wickets,'' says Perry, a soccer international who's aiming to add a second World Twenty20 title.
''Sarah Taylor is an exceptional player and I think we all found it quite difficult to bowl to her. Looking at that game, in the field and with the ball, we didn't do things as well as we would've liked to and they really got away from us in an eight-over patch there.
''It's going to be a huge challenge on Sunday but the way we bowled [against West Indies] gives us a lot of confidence going into that match.''
Fields was asked how she felt about her side being the underdog.
''Everyone has been talking about how England are favourites,'' Fields said.
''But we're defending champions going into the final and we want to win it.
Australian pace bowler Julie Hunter helped trigger the Windies' lower-order collapse and claimed 5-22, the best figures by an Australia player in a women's Twenty20 international.
Women's World T20 final: Australia v England, at Colombo, 8pm.

Buri palm
CORYPHA ELATA also known as BURI
The buri palm is found throughout the Philippines, in most island and provinces, being in some regions widely scattered and in others subgregarious and abundant at low and medium altitudes. It also occurs in India to Malaya.
The buri palm is the most stately and largest palm of the Philippines. The trunk is erect, straight, up to1 meter in diameter and 20 meter high. The leaves are fan-shaped, large, rounded in outline, up to 3 meters in length, and palmately split into about 100, lanceolate, 1.5 to 6 centimeter wide, segments extending one-haft to two-thirds to the base; the petioles are very stout. Up to 3 meter long, 20 centimeters thick at the base, and their margins armed with very stout black spines. The inflorescence is pyramidal, up to 7 meters in height, the lower branches up to 3.5 meters long, the upper gradually shorter, the ultimate branches up to1 meter in the length. The flower are numerous, greenish-white, and 5 to 6 millimeter in diameter. The fruits are globose, fleshy, 2 to 2.5 centimeter in diameter, and the seeds are hard, and about 1.5 Centimeters in diameter.
The uses of the buri palm are summarized by Brown as follows:
It produces a fermented drink (tuba), alcohol, vinegar, syrup, and sugar. The trunk yields large quantities of starch. The bud (ubod) is used for salad or as a vegetable. The kernels of the young fruits are edible and are made into a sweetmeats. The mature seeds are used for beads? (rosaries) and buttons. The petiole yields so-called buntal fiber of which, the famous Baliuag and Lacban hats are made, or which, when crudely extracted, is sometimes twisted into rope. Mature leaf is used for covering tobacco bales, rarely as a thatch for houses, while the ribs are used for making brooms. From the unopened leaf is obtained a very fine fiber, corresponding to raffia fiber, which is utilized in making cloth, fancy articles, and as string. Fibers secured from the ribs of the unopened leaves are extensively used in the manufacture of the so-called Calasiao or Pototan hats. Strips of the unopened leaf are made into hats, mats, bags, sails, basket, and other articles.
Medicinally the buri palm is not as useful as the coconut. Guerrero reports that the young plants are brewed in decoction and administered in case of febrile catarrh. Burkill says that in Malaya the starch is recommended for bowel complaint, and the juice of the roots for diarrhea. Heyne states that the roots are chewed in Celebes for coughs.

A bedsore is rated in stages, depending on its devastation to the body.
Stage 1 Bedsore: Changes in skin temperature (warmth or coolness), tissue consistency (firm or boggy feel), and/or sensation (pain, itching). The ulcer appears as a defined area of persistent redness in lightly pigmented skin. In darker skin tones, the ulcer may appear with persistent red, blue, or purple hues. A Stage One bedsore is a warning to caregivers and/or family members, because bedsores develop quickly and progress rapidly. See a stage one bedsore
Stage 2 Bedsore: Partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis(top layer of skin), dermis, or both. At this stage the ulcer is superficial and looks like as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater. Once a bedsore gets past this stage it becomes much harder to treat. See a stage two bedsore
Stage 3 Bedsore: Full thickness skin loss involving damage to, or death of, the subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, underlying connective tissue (fascia). The wound will look like a fairly deep crater, black at its edges. Warning, a stage three bedsore is powerfully sad and visually disgusting
Stage 4 Bedsore: Full thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue death, and/or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures (e.g., tendon, joint, capsule). They will look like a large, deep, open wound revealing bone and connective tissue. Warning, a stage four bedsore is extremely disturbing to see
If you have a loved one in a nursing home, hospital or other care facility, check that person's skin condition, weight and general care every time you visit. If you notice any sign of bedsores or neglect, alert the nursing staff and attending physician or nursing home director immediately. You and other family members are in the best position to monitor and assess a loved one's condition. Be persistent, because if the administration and staff are slow to respond your loved one could develop bedsores. Bedsores are a sign of neglect! If you have a loved one who is being neglect, contact York Law Corporation to act on your behalf today!

I remember that quote, but I don't know if I agree. I think true love is something that lasts... a bond that cannot be broken. (A two way one, for those who are still thinking in stalker terms )
Agree with you about Limerence, but perhaps it's just a sub category of unrequited love? Forgot about that term... I actually wrote a script about it before!
Limerence is, yeah, it's just you don't really care about the reciprocation of love, and it's an obsession like what's in Les Mis.

Originally posted by YogaBare View PostWell... if that were the case, wouldn't unrequited love go against everything you deem real? Surely "love" that had no possibility of actualisation / actualiZation would be detrimental to genetic replication, and therefore not congruous with our evolved brain chemisty?
It would never be worth trying to see what the philosophers have to say. Nor should we interested in what Wagner, whose Tristan and Isolde is perhaps the most intense meditation on erotic love in our art -- but, golly, it's not a musical -- has to say in dramatic (and musical) form. Nor would it be worth considering what, for example, Dickens in Our Mutual Friend had shown.
This, I'm afraid, is where we, as a civilization, are headed. Triviality posing as knowledge.
There are plenty of people who obsess about food in the same way stalkers obsess about the person who is the object of their fixation. But no matter how much we love chocolate, it can never love us back.

2000 Nissan Sentra Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2000 Nissan Sentra based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The catalytic converter closest to the cylinder head can fail causing illumination of the Check Engine Light. Prompt repair of this problem is recommended because the catalyst material can be sucked into the engine and cause internal damage.
The engine may stall at times due to a failed crankshaft position sensor and/or camshaft position sensor, These sensors can fail intermittently as they warm with the engine. Sensors on certain models have been recalled by Nissan and will be replaced as necessary. Please visit our recall section for this model to see if your vehicle is covered by this recall.
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor can fail, causing various drivability problems. Our technicians remind us that proper diagnoses should be performed to confirm the cause of any driveability concerns.
A weak battery or low battery voltage can cause the transmission to enter into fail safe mode. This will cause a loss of power because the transmission will be locked in third gear.

Biswajit Basu
The Afghan Girl - Poem by Biswajit Basu
The red shawl frames her countenance soiled,
A beautiful young girl of Pashtun descent,
Her brows gently arched,
Guides you to the twin ovals below,
Into the timeless infinity of her eyes,
A mysterious haunting beauty,
That reflect anger, hurt, sorrow,
And with hardship and fear radiating
With a singular feral ferocity,
Intermixed with a million other emotions,
Horror obliterating innocence,
Captured in an image,
Poised on the razor edge of time.
Those piercing eyes,
So nebulous and yet so firm
Convey nobility of a savage mould,
Of a ferocious determination.
Radiating from her pupil's very core,
From the deep mystery of the sheer black,
Fringed with a starburst of grey-green
Like an angry stormy ocean.
Streaked with blue of noble character
Tinged with the yellow of cringing fear,
Of the thunderstorm of the flying dragons,
That rained death from the nightly sky.
What gory tales can these eyes tell,
As they glare out a defensive challenge,
Burning with savage ferocity,
Hiding an inner softness,
Coming back to you again and again,
With the regularity of a metronome,
Reminding of the hell of war
From the eyes of a child who,
Knows terror far beyond her tender years,
Has lived through the stark reality
Of poverty, hardship and strife,
In just a dozen years since her birth
That transcends everything that you and I,
In an entire lifetime will ever see.

Aman Saa
Connotation Drops - Poem by Aman Saa
If looking to make a little mistake
I have come to you
Do not ask me why I am so
We had met on the
other end of this song also...
The moment of which some memory and
some forgetting were weaved
And now all over we are in a tune
played on the festival of strangers,
If it is there, do not ask me of its beginning
Do not ask me of birth
in which way I am...
For death I have seen and my birth is many
I do not have long words to tell you
of my stories
of escapes and chase
inside the caves of the heart
in a dropp and a sea
a moment and an age
blend together and turn into a company
that is why night is young, always.
If my sorrows are caressed by unseen thoughts
If my tears are theft by the traps styled by my own self
Ask me not, why I don't cry
In the lanes of life, I too turn back
to take a glance at places
which I have left and to which shall never return.
In an unspoken voice
I write on you the music of a touch
We shall never know, the last time we sit side by side
And speak and think of nothing has just passed.
If looking to make a little mistake...
I ask you what the colour of love is
In which garden blossoms the butterfly
And embarks on to eternity to meet the wings of rainbow
Know that, it is in the joy of celebration
of the defeat of my ageless loneliness
in the hands of meeting a moment of yours,
I am portraying my own sketches in a shade even
not known to me
So just let me make a little mistake
As I come across a mirror while crossing the road
Let me glance at myself and not think what I see to be known..

There is a celebrated saying of Aldous Huxley:
Man is an amphibian, or to be more accurate, Man is five or six amphibians rolled into one, simultaneously conquering half a dozen worlds. in exploring the inner recesses of man, Browning worked in poetry, George Eliot in novel, Ibsen in drama etc...the drama of your poem is also staged in the landscape of the interior, some virgin, n untrodden regions of mind...with the original images of yours...
