The FDA has expanded the indications for oral lubiprostone (Amitiza®, Sucampo Pharmaceuticals Inc/Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA Inc.) to include opioid-induced constipation in chronic pain patients, at a dose of 24 mcg twice daily. This is the third indication for lubiprostone, which is already approved for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults, also at a dose of 24 mcg twice daily, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with constipation in women 18 years of age and older, at a dose of 8 mcg twice daily.
Opioids cause constipation via multiple mechanisms. When opioids bind to peripheral opioid receptors in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, two main things happen:
Lubiprostone targets the second mechanism. it is a specific activator of CIC-2 chloride channels in the intestinal epithelium, which counteracts the increased electrolyte absorption caused by opioids, and helps increase the amount of fluid that remains in the GI tract. Approval for the new indication was based on results of three phase III, placebo-controlled trials of patients receiving opioids including morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl for non-cancer pain. At a dose of 24 mcg twice daily, two of the three studies met their primary efficacy endpoint.
According to the manufacturers, the effectiveness of lubiprostone in patients taking methadone has not been established, and it is possible that lubiprostone will be ineffective in patients taking methadone. In the 3 clinical trials that led to the drug's approval, methadone was not included. In other clinical trials, methadone appeared to prevent beneficial effects of lubiprostone, and laboratory studies have demonstrated that methadone blocks lubiprostone's stimulation of CIC-2 channels.
How should we use lubiprostone in hospice and palliative care?

The commonly used antibiotic, Azithromycin (Z-Pak, Zithromax), was recently discussed in the medical news due to a report of increased risk for serious cardiac adverse effects associated with its use. This incidence of risk is quite low, but due to the potentially serious nature it has resulted in an advisory memorandum by the FDA. Specifically, there is a small risk of prolongation of the QT interval on the ECG which may progress to a serious cardiac arrhythmia known as Torsades des Pointes (TdP). TdP can lead to ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. In light of this recent focus on the issue of drug-induced QTc prolongation, this seems like an appropriate time to review and discuss other medications which also have the potential to cause this problem, especially since some of them are encountered frequently in the medication regimens for hospice patients.
There are 34 specific medications available for use in the U.S. which have substantial evidence that supports the conclusion that they may prolong the QT interval and have a risk of TdP when used as directed according to approved labeling.(1) The list encompasses certain drugs from a variety of different pharmacologic classes including:
8 different antiarrhythmic drugs,
6 antibiotics,
5 antipsychotics,
2 antinausea drugs,
2 antidepressant drugs,
2 anticancer drugs,
2 non-sedating antihistamines,
2 antimalarial drugs,
1 opioid,
1 antiangina drug,
1 cholesterol lowering drug,
1 anesthetic,
1 GI stimulant drug
For a complete listing of all of the medications, and detailed information about drug-induced QT prolongation check out this link:
Five of the drugs on this list are quite commonly used in hospice to provide palliative management of a variety of symptoms. Those drugs include: Chlorpromazine (Thorazine), Citalopram (Celexa), Escitalopram (Lexapro), Haloperidol (Haldol), and Methadone (Dolophine).
The incidence of this adverse cardiac effect has not been established for any of these drugs and the majority of patients take these drugs without any problem of a prolonged QT interval or arrhythmia. It is also possible that some patients may have a prolonged QT interval while taking these drugs and exhibit no negative symptoms or effects. In those cases this event would go unnoticed unless an ECG was done. This adverse effect appears to be dose-related and has been associated with patients receiving higher dosages.
Awareness of the following risk factors for QT prolongation and TdP may help reduce the risks for this adverse effect when considering the use of these drugs(2) :
• Cardiac disease (MI, CHF, cardiomyopathy, congenital long QT syndrome, bradycardia)
• Low potassium or magnesium levels (may occur with diuretic usage)
• High drug doses (i.e.; methadone > 200mg/day)
• Combined use of multiple drugs which can prolong QT
• Clinically significant drug interactions that can result in excessively elevated blood levels of a drug identified as having QT prolongation potential
There are reports of several other drugs, commonly used in hospice ( not on the list above) where substantial evidence supports the conclusion that these drugs may also cause QT prolongation but will only present a risk of causing TdP in certain conditions such as over-dosage, significant drug interaction, or in a patient with pre-existing cardiac disease risk factors.(1,2)
The drugs listed below can prolong QT but do not have the higher level of risk for causing TdP as the list of 34 drugs above: Amitriptyline (Elavil), Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), Doxepin (Sinequan), Fluoxetine,(Prozac) Nortriptyline (Pamelor), Paroxetine (Paxil), Mirtazapine (Remeron), Olanzapine (Zyprexa), Quetiapine (Seroquel), Risperidone (Risperdal), and Ziprasidone (Geodon).
In conclusion, the risks and benefits of using these drugs must be assessed on a case by case basis. There is no general guideline, nor consensus about when to stop therapy or decrease a dosage with one of these drugs if one is concerned about prolonged QT or TdP. A reasonable approach to the problem in hospice care would include the following:
• Avoid the use of a drug known to cause TdP in a patient with the risk factors described above, unless there is no reasonable alternative available
• Reduce correctable risk factors if possible (low potassium or magnesium)
• Exercise caution when using multiple drugs known to cause TdP or prolonged QT, and utilize doses at the lower end of the therapeutic range when combining these drugs
• Exercise caution when using high doses of drugs known to cause TdP (methadone in doses > 200mg/day)
• Avoid clinically significant drug interactions which may result in significantly elevated levels of the drugs identified with a potential for prolonged QT and TdP

The state of Washington will soon issue an unprecedented public health advisory that highlights the risks of methadone. This warning has been approved and adopted by a committee of state-appointed medical experts following an investigative newspaper story in the Seattle Times (see link below) which captured the attention of the state legislature. The Times claims that a review of death certificates in the state over the past 8 years turned up 443 cases in which methadone was listed as the sole drug in fatal overdose cases (about 55 cases per year). In addition the newspaper story states that methadone may have somehow been linked to over 2,100 fatal drug over-doses in that same 8 year period from 2003 to 2011. The Times story indicated that Washington's methadone death rate ranks among the country's highest. The story did not specify how many of these fatal overdose cases were situations where the individual was abusing the drug or if they were all patients with a legitimate prescription for the medication.
The health advisory will stress that methadone can be more unpredictable than other analgesics, including other opioids. It will be sent to pharmacies as well as licensed health care professionals throughout the state.
Methadone is unique in a number of areas when compared to other opioids. The unique differences offer very significant benefits as well as challenges to managing toxicity risk. If Washington's efforts result in an increased awareness among physicians, nurses, and pharmacists of these issues leading to more appropriate methadone prescribing and follow-up, then this public health advisory can be the start of something quite positive. On the other hand, if the state's initiative is designed to label methadone as a medication that is too dangerous to use in patients with severe chronic pain, then everyone in the state loses.
Methadone has a bi-phasic nature when it comes to duration of analgesic effect. When methadone is initiated ,the duration of analgesic effect is about 4 to 6 hours at the most. After continuous routine use for about five days, the drug exerts a more long-acting duration of approximately 12 hours in a majority of patients. The reason behind this is the fact that methadone is both highly lipid soluble and has a very large volume of distribution in the body. These characteristics result in the drug accumulating in the body (upon continued use) and forming a kind of depot that creates the long-duration of analgesia, which is not seen during the initial few days of therapy. This is very different from other opioids. This concept must be understood and incorporated into the prescribing and monitoring practices whenever methadone is used.
There is also a wider degree of inter-patient variation in response to methadone than may be seen with some other opioids. Some patients may reach the "depot" stage with only 3 days of methadone dosing , while others may take 7 or 8 days. Attentive monitoring of the patient during this accumulation phase is essential. There will also be varying levels of cross-tolerance exhibited when converting from other opioids to methadone. This level of cross-tolerance will vary depending upon the dose of the opioid that one will be converting from. Generally, the higher the dose of opioid, the less cross-tolerance to methadone will be encountered. The practitioner should generally use lower equivalent dosages of methadone for patients on higher doses of other opioids to avoid inadvertent over dosage. Successful methadone dosing may be challenging, however, methadone has been used extensively with very high success rates in numerous palliative care and hospice settings over the past decade. It may be that practitioners in these settings have more experience and a greater appreciation for the unique pharmacokinetics of the drug than some others practicing in the general community.
The advantages of methadone are widely recognized and include the following:
The risks for methadone toxicity due to unexpected drug accumulation or incorrect conversion doses can be managed effectively when the practitioners understand the unique pharmacodynamics of methadone and follow appropriate prescribing and monitoring practices.
The current issue with methadone toxicity addressed in the Times article and subsequently discussed within the Washington state legislature may boil down to a lack of education regarding this unique drug. Physicians, nurses, and pharmacists all need to have a clear understanding of methadone pharmacokinetics before prescribing, dispensing, or caring for a patient on methadone. This drug offers significant therapeutic benefits and unparalleled value over other long-acting strong opioids. It would be very unfortunate if the actions of Washington state result in the denial of methadone availability for the patients suffering from severe chronic pain. On the other hand, this represents a great opportunity to promote and disseminate appropriate information to a wide range of health-care professionals regarding the effective use of methadone for those with chronic severe pain.

You didn't state your age, what type of lung cancer you have and what stage it was cugaht .If your pain is at an 8 out of 10, then you need to have a more comprehensive pain management situation:First, is your oncologist (cancer specialist) also trained in palliative care?? You might want him/her to refer you to a chronic pain specialist. There are other methods that can treat pain, like the Duragesic transdermal fentanyl patch,that is placed on the skin (the upper torso) for a period of 72 hours (3 days) and then changed; and they come in strengths from 25 micrograms all the way up to 100 mcg.And are you taking Oxycodone in it's pure state, or are you taking the 5/325 APAP? (the one with the acteaminophen) If you're taking those (Roxicet or Percocet) then you're taking entirely TOO much acetaminophen: That can severely damage your liver which can compromise your condition. You might want to ask the doctor for the pure form of Oxycodone (Oxycontin) or Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) I would ask your doctor to try different methods of pain control, I strongly suggest that you request a referral to a chronic pain management specialist. We have the methods to control intractable pain these days, and we should use it Best to youChristopher K. -- Auth Posted 2/15/2013 03:03:22 PM |
The original Times article has caused such anti=methadone/painkiller hysteria in the Port Angeles area that it is criminal. I have been getting methadone from a pain management program for years with no ill effects or problems until this article. I have a brain tumor that is too large to remove and massive ulcers in both legs. I suffered with the pain fotr years till methadone, Now I am being forcible detoxed at 40 mgs. a month per state directives I am told. What are legitamate high pain patients supposed to do? The state is saving me from methadone use but the pain is whats going to kill me. Pls. save me from the state I am 100% disabled and have nowhere to turn it would seem. -- SCOTT B THOMPSON Posted 6/2/2012 06:35:34 PM |
Great article. Many practitioners are unaware of the uniqueness of methadone and to appropriate dosing for pain control. Thanks for the information.

Using oral corticosteroids is more art than science. There are no strict rules about when steroids need to be tapered or how to do so, and every practitioner does it a little differently. However, the following guidelines may help you decide when, and how, to taper oral corticosteroids in your hospice patients.
When in doubt, it's best to go ahead and taper. Just keep in mind that, by tapering, you may be exposing the patient to more doses of steroid than they need. Oral steroids can cause adverse effects in our elderly patients, so we shouldn't just "play it safe" and taper everyone.
These guidelines were adapted from the following reference: Using oral corticosteroids: a toolbox. Pharmacist's Letter/Prescriber's Letter 2010; 26(5):260507.
Nearly all of whatever you say is spsuripingly precise and that makes me wonder why I hadn't looked at this with this light before. This particular piece really did turn the light on for me as far as this specific subject matter goes. Nonetheless at this time there is actually one particular issue I am not too comfy with so whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the actual core idea of the position, permit me see exactly what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Very well done. -- Alain Posted 8/7/2012 08:19:28 PM |
Jim Joyner, Pharm.D, our Director of Clinical Operations, recently presented an informative 90 minute program about Methadone use in hospice at the Minnesota Hospice and Palliative Care Conference on April 12th. The program was titled "Methadone: Is This Old Drug in Your Future?" This well received program was presented again this month in California's beautiful Napa Valley for the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association on May 1st. Outcome Resources specializes in assisting hospices with increasing utilization of Methadone as a long-acting opioid. While Methadone has clinically significant advantages in the palliative care setting, it is also cost effective. Our team of PharmDs can assist your hospice with education programs for nurses and prescribing physicians, consultation for specific patients, protocols and guidelines for use. Check back soon for a link to a video of Dr. Joyner's presentation. Also, see the previous articles on our Blog regarding Methadone for more information.
Jim is so knowelgeable and helpful. It has been my expierence that he truly makes a difference in every pt he consults on. -- Karen Parks Posted 6/2/2012 05:07:29 PM |
Unlike other opioids, Methadone has significant ability to inhibit the NMDA receptor(n-methyl-d-aspartate receptor) at therapeutic doses (Davis, Walsh (2001) Support Care Cancer; 9:73-76). Activation of the NMDA receptor produces central nervous system sensitization, so this pharmacological effect makes Methadone a much more effective drug for neuropathic pain than other opioids. There is also evidence that inhibitory activity at the NMDA receptor sites reduces the possibility of tolerance to Methadone when compared to that exhibited by other opioids (Hewitt (2000) Clin J Pain; 16:S73-79).
In addition to being a long-acting opioid that may be dosed at 8 to 12 hour intervals, Methadone is available in a variety of dosage forms:
Methadone is well absorbed by the sublingual route which may be of critical importance in patients that are unable to swallow and in whom infusion therapy is not feasible (Coluzzi (1998) J Pain & Symptom Management; 16:184-192). Although oral morphine solution is often administered by the sublingual route, there is evidence to suggest that it is poorly absorbed because of its low lipid solubility (Coluzzi (1998) J Pain & Symptom Management; 16:184-192). Methadone may offer distinct advantages over oral morphine solution when the sublingual route of administration is indicated.
One of the most impressive advantages to this unique opioid is its very low cost compared with other potent opioid drugs. Methadone is about one-tenth of the cost of an equivalent dose of the Fentanyl patch (generic) and one-seventh the cost of Morphine extended release tablets (generic).
Methadone is appropriate for treating chronic severe pain, including cancer pain and neuropathic pain. It is an excellent choice when rotating a patient from other opioid therapy which may be either ineffective or causing intolerable side effects. A study of cancer patients who had uncontrolled pain and/or intolerable adverse effects showed 80% of the patients reported improvement in pain control and reduction of adverse effects following rotation to Methadone (Mercadante, et al. (2001) J Clin Oncology; 19:2898-2904). Morphine has been associated with a variety of adverse effects including pseudo-allergy (itching, flushing, sweating) and tremors. Methadone is synthetic and belongs to a distinctly different structural class than Morphine, making it a good alternative to patients exhibiting the pseudo-allergy symptoms.
In patients receiving Morphine who have renal impairment, an active metabolite, Morphine-3-glucuronide can accumulate and is thought to be associated with neurotoxic symptoms (myoclonus, allodynia, and hyperalgesia). (Anderson, et al. (2003) J. Pain & Symptom Management; 25: 74-91). There is also evidence that Morphine-3-glucuronide may actually antagonize the analgesic effect of Morphine itself. (Anderson, et al. (2003) J. Pain & Symptom Management; 25: 74-91). Since Methadone does not have any active metabolites and the dosage does not need to be adjusted for renal impairment, it is ideal for the patient with renal impairment or for a patient on Morphine that is exhibiting neurotoxic side effects.
There are a variety of potential drug interactions with Methadone. Many of the potential interactions cited in the literature have not been associated with documented clinical effects, even though alterations in Methadone plasma concentrations may be statistically significant. This may be due to the pharmacodynamics of the drug, specifically; long half-life, extensive distribution, and extensive tissue binding. These factors may blunt the clinical impact of some potentially interacting drugs that may induce or inhibit inactivation of Methadone in the liver. Refer to the drug interaction table for details. There are various strategies for managing drug interactions, however, if the combination of interacting drugs cannot be avoided a general rule of thumb is to adjust the Methadone dose by 25%; upwards if the interacting drug has been shown to result in decreased Methadone clinical effects or down if the interacting drug has been shown to result in increased Methadone clinical effects. Dosage adjustment may not be necessary for drugs which have the potential for altering enzymatic metabolism of Methadone, yet have not been shown to result in a change in the clinical status of patients. The clinician, however, should be alert to possible changes in the clinical picture when any potentially interacting drug is added or removed.
Clinically Significant Drug Interactions |
Increased Methadone | Ciprofloxacin(Cipro), Diazepam(Valium), Fluconazole(Diflucan), ethanol(acute use) |
Decreased Methadone Effects (reduced effects) | Phenytoin(Dilantin), Phenobarbital, Rifampin, Nelfinavir(Viracept), Ritonavir(Novir) |
Possible Methadone Drug Interactions |
(Clinical effects not documented in literature) |
Increased Methadone blood levels | Cimetidine(Tagamet), Fluoxetine(Prozac), Paroxetine(Paxil), grapefruit juice |
Decreased Methadone blood levels | Carbamazepine(Tegretol) |
Methadone is a valuable analgesic with distinct advantages over other opioids that make it a viable option for treatment of chronic severe pain. Clinicians who prescribe Methadone need to be familiar with its unique pharmacokinetics and the dosing ramifications for safe and effective use of the drug.

You need to be straight with him. Ask him what is more iratmopnt the drugs or ur family? If he can not confidently say ur family end it with him. You and ur kids do not deserve that. It is best for them to be as far away from him as possible. If he can honestly say the family (try to ask him when hes straight) then tell him he needs to get help or he is going to lose the best thing he could ever have. Don't use it as a threat just be honest with him. The treatments won't help him unless he lets them help him. Try to be understanding to what he is going through be supportive but at the same time be strong and firm and smart. Do what is best for you and your children. Most addicts are abusers. Theres a very good chance that he will become violent. Do you really want your children growing up around that?! They are so young, so impressionable. If they see him acting this way they will grow up to think it is ok. If he begins being violent or abusive in any manner and you tolerate it they will think that all women should accept being treated like that. My father was an alcoholic/drug addict, and he could get violent. I am his only child. When she saw what hed become she got rid of him. I saw him once when I was 6 for a visitation and I remember everything was fine then towards the end he became very irrate and i remember him and my mom arguing. And she put me in the car and he grabbed me out he was all sweaty and I was terrified and screaming my mom got me off of him and i remember him putting his sweaty face close to mine and saying something to me i couldnt understand. at the time i didnt no what was going on, but now it makes me so angry to no that he came to see me high!!! and the argument was he watned to stop the visit and go get high then come back to finish the visit he reallly needed it. It makes me sick. I love my mother everyday for getting rid of him and doing everything in her power to keep him away from me (not that it was really hard half the time he forgot i existed) I saw him about 7 yrs ago i was 14 he didnt recognize me i didnt recognize him. My sis told me who it was and when it was brought to my attention i saw he looked just like me .or i looked like him whatever.the point is dont make your children live through that hell. -- Luccy Posted 2/15/2013 02:53:52 AM |

Unifor said yesterday that a tentative deal has been reached for a new contract for DHL Express members in Canada.
The trend of bumpy end-of-the-year economic activity remained intact in November, according to the most recent edition of the Cass Freight Index Report.
Carloads—at 1,145,353—were up 1.3 percent, and intermodal—at 1,007,549 trailers and containers—was up 7.8 percent.
Earlier this week, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced legislation that would gradually increase the existing federal fuel tax levels by 15 cents over the next three years.
With the House and Senate conferees focused on reconciling their respective versions of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), there appears to be a true sense of urgency when it comes to getting as bill signed into law, something which has not happened for this type of legislation since 2007.

Gov. Bob McDonnell listened to input from victims of the 2007 Virginia Tech campus shootings this weekend as he prepares to decide whether Virginians will be allowed to purchase more than one handgun in a month.
Families affected by the April 16, 2007, campus shootings spoke with McDonnell in hopes of stopping a bill that would repeal Virginia's ban on purchasing more than one handgun per month through commercial sales. The repeal passed both houses of the General Assembly and would become law with McDonnell's signature.
The ban was originally put in place in 1993 to curb Virginia's role in gun trafficking.
Related: Staff editorial
Andrew Goddard, whose son Colin Goddard was injured in the shootings that left 32 people dead on Tech's campus, said the repeal would be a step back for Virginia's public safety laws.
"It's a very bad idea, I think, to do away with the only piece of legislation we have that specifically targets gun-trafficking in a time when we're almost back to the point we were when this bill was put in place," he said.
Goddard, along with several other families that have been active in lobbying for increased gun control since the shootings, sent a letter to McDonnell asking to voice their opinion. McDonnell listened to their arguments Saturday and is expected to make a decision today. He has previously voiced an intention to approve the repeal as passed by the General Assembly.
Goddard pointed out a survey conducted by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and Christopher Newport University that found 66 percent of Virginians don't want to repeal the one-handgun-per-month ban.
In a statement to the Collegiate Times, McDonnell's office thanked the families for their concern but declined to comment on the bill.
"The governor appreciated hearing directly from the families on this issue. It was a straightforward and substantive discussion," McDonnell press secretary Jeff Caldwell said in an e-mail. "His thoughts and prayers remain with them as they continue to deal with their tremendous loss. We will have further comment on the legislation at the appropriate time."
If McDonnell approves the repeal, Virginians would no longer be restricted to purchasing one handgun per month through commercial vendors. It is already possible to purchase multiple firearms per month through private sales — such as gun sale transactions or buying a firearm from a friend.
"Even if it's not as effective as it could be — because there are ways around it — taking it away altogether isn't going to make it any better," Goddard said. "Anyone who has a legitimate reason for getting more than one handgun a month has ways to do that now."
The repeal is one of many gun-related bills to come up in the General Assembly this year. The two bills related to college campuses — one that would allow professors to carry concealed weapons on campus and another that would have ended colleges' power to ban firearms on campus — have not passed this session.
A version of this article appeared in the Feb 28 issue of the Collegiate Times.

text: OK so I bought a "REPAIRED FAST 90" for $525 from ObsceneHP last year in March/April that was supposedly "professionally repaired". As with many people who do a build, this part sat on my shelf for 5-6 months as I saved money to buy Heads / Cam and other mods. When I actually got around to having everything installed in Nov. it seems as though the FAST was not repaired so "professionally" after all. Within the first night it began to come apart and developed a NASTY vacuum leak. Once the problem was isolated I contacted ObsceneHP to inform him of the problem to try and work out a solution. After 3 "kind and diplomatic" PM's with no response, I finally PM'd him a more upset notice and threatened to POST this on the forum, to which he finally responded in a undignified manner. He then told me he had repaired many intakes using an "AIRCRAFT EPOXY" that was stronger than the original plastic and none had failed and tried to blame the failure on the installer having dropped or damaged it. He also said to go ahead and POST it because he had others that had no problem to back him up. After being assurred that the failure was purely a result of the repaired portion coming undone he asked for pictures, which I provided. He then said he would get back to me to work out a resolution but never did. Several PM's later with no response I tried to cut my losses to sell it to someone with the expertise to fix it, with no luck. I then shipped it to SPINMONSTER from Corvetteforum who is known to be able to fix FAST manifolds. He reported back that he could not fix it because the repair had been done with the wrong type of epoxy and he could not remove it thoroughly enough to attempt the proper repair. This left me in a pickle since I sold my LS6 during the install and was left with a POS and no help to replace it or fix it. So I had to buy a whole new manifold to get my car running right. Several more PM's to ObsceneHP informing him of my attempts to fix it went unanswered. I also contacted the MODERATORS for advise on how to proceed, and got no response from them either. So now it's basically like this, FUCK YOU ObsceneHP... you are a low life cocksucker. I hope nobody else buys anything from this unscroupulous piece of shit. I wish I had the $$$ to fly to Indiana and get my money back from this motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!! Hows that for "court" shit head!

tunnels and underground excavations
Since their first success in 1954, moles (mining machines) have been rapidly adopted worldwide. Close copies of the Oahe moles were used for similar large-diameter tunnels in clay shale at Gardiner Dam in Canada and at Mangla Dam in Pakistan during the mid-1960s, and subsequent moles have succeeded at many other locations involving tunneling through soft rocks. Of the several hundred moles built, most have been designed for the more easily excavated soil tunnel and are now beginning to divide into four broad types (all are similar in that they excavate the earth with drag teeth and discharge the muck onto a belt conveyor, and most operate inside a shield). The open-face-wheel type is probably the most common. In the wheel the cutter arm rotates in one direction; in a variant model it oscillates back and forth in a windshield-wiper action that is most suitable in wet, sticky ground. While suitable for firm ground, the open-face mole has sometimes been buried by running or loose ground. The closed-faced-wheel mole partly offsets this problem, since it can be kept pressed against the face while taking in muck through slots. Since the cutters are changed from the ...

East Meets West Could it be that eastern and western medicine are actually making steps to reconcile their differences and form a complementary brand of health care? Judging from the numerous newspaper and magazine articles displaying the absorption of alternative medicine into a new medical system in the US, it certainly appears this way. The visit by the 14th Dalai Lama to several New York City hospitals that were opening up alternative medicine clinics back in May, 1998, may have been the so-called coming out party for alternative medicine. In this section, you will find pictures of newspaper and magazine articles pertaining to groundbreaking events for alternative medicine 1998, along with summaries of all the articles and an introductory statement.
Facts & Stats This rise in popularity and credibility of alternative medicine is not merely hearsay; it is supported by many statistics based on research studies conducted by highly respected universities and corporations. The facts don't lie! Regardless of what any conventional medicine physician will tell you, alternative medicine is gaining tremendous ground on western. See for yourself in this section, which shows facts and statistics from recent years that prove unequivocally that alternative medicine is emerging in the United States.

Aust is a small village in South Gloucestershire, England, the historical site of the eastern terminal of the Aust Ferry crossing route over the River Severn between England and Wales, believed to have been used in Roman times as a continuation of Icknield Street which led from Eastern England via Cirencester to Chepstow, Caerleon & to St David's. It is today near the eastern end of the Severn Bridge, built in 1966 to carry the M4 motorway (now the M48 motorway) over the river estuary to Wales. The village has been divided by both the motorway and dual carriageways which now dominate the local landscape. It has a chapel, a church and a public house. Formerly there was a pond near the chapel, since removed to make way for the motorway. There is a large area of farmland on the river bank, which is often flooded due to the high tides of the River. A tunnel runs under the River Severn from Aust to Beachley carrying electric cables. Aust lies at .

Have you been talking (or pressing 'send') in your sleep?
E-mailing now comes so naturally to us that we can do it in our sleep — at least in the exceptional case. An article soon appearing in the journal Sleep Medicine, details the experience of a sleepwalker, showing we can send messages even when we seem to be sound asleep.
Such e-mailing interests neurologists who specialize in sleep science. After all, it poses a challenge to the accepted notion that sleepwalking is confined to activities involving gross motor movements, with minimal cognitive activity. Until now, we have been able to take comfort in our understanding of our own sleepwalking as an impersonal phenomenon. Whether it is eating junk food, rearranging furniture or even driving a car, the body carries out the action, seemingly on its own, while the mind slumbers, blissfully unaware.
Legal doctrine is based on this same notion. Sleepwalkers have been acquitted of criminal felony charges by basing their defense on the concept of "noninsane automatism."
E-mailing while sleeping, however, upturns the previous understanding of the mind as essentially quiescent, absolved of a participating role. The Sleep Medicine article describes one woman's e-mailing while sleeping as the first reported case of "complex nonviolent cognitive behavior." It involved not just composing messages, but also navigating past two separate levels of password security to reach the e-mail software.
The patient suffered from severe insomnia and was taking zolpidem, which is marketed under various brand names, the best known of which is Ambien. She decided on her own to increase her daily dose to 15 milligrams, from the 10 milligrams prescribed by her doctor, to counteract what she perceived as diminished efficacy of the drug over time.
Later, she received a call from a friend, asking about a strange e-mail message that the patient had sent the caller the previous night. She had no memory of having done so. When the patient checked the computer and looked at a folder containing her sent messages, she discovered that three that had gone out within eight minutes the previous night while she was asleep, all with unusual capitalization, punctuation and language. "!HELP ME P-LEEEEESE" was the subject of one message, an invitation for "dinner & drinks," and the message also implored the recipient to "come TOMORROW AND SORT THIS HELL HOLE Out!!!!!!"
Are they certain she wasn't sleeping in her office. I get emails like that every day.

I am fan of Joyce Meyer's message, and specifically her teachings on the Battle of the Mind. I encourage people to purchase her book Power Thoughts and begin to declare and decree the affirmation statements daily, hourly if necessary.
Darkness can not be present with light, and similarly, postitive thoughts illuminate the mind. The purpose of this post is merely to list Joyce's 12 Power Thoughts. Speaking these aloud for 30 days can have nothing but a positive affect on our lives.
1. I can do whatever I need to do in life, through Christ
2. God loves me unconditionally!
3. I will not live in fear.
4. I am difficult to offend.
5. I love people and enjoy helping them.
6. I trust God completely; there is no need to worry.
7. I am content and emotionally stable.
8. God meets all my needs abundantly.
9. I pursue peace with God, myself, and others.
10. I live in the present and enjoy each moment.
11. I am disciplined and self-controlled.
12. I put God first in my life.
Merely reciting this list is not a replacement for reading the book. It's a great book. But until you get your own copy, begin and end each day speaking these affirmations with PASSION!

Enclosing a Timber Frame with Natural Clay In-Fill
Corbett, Oregon, July 5-9, 2002
Open House, July 10, 2002
Fox Maple Workshops in natural clay building systems are based on traditional methods, coupled with recent modern innovations and applications currently practiced by professional clay builders in Europe.
The workshop in Corbett, Oregon will cover a variety of
systems and approaches but will have a primary focus on clay/woodchip systems.
workshop is highly recommended to Architects and Builders who would like
to incorporate these proven techniques into their own projects, as well
as the owner-builder. A strong focus will be set on coordinating efficient
and professional systems and approaches that will allow architects and
builders to readily incorporate clay building systems into their own projects
in a professional manner. The workshop project will focus on methods appropriate
for enclosing a timber frame structure with traditional and alternative
clay systems. The structure will become an Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine
Clinic. Wattle & daub, Straw Clay, Woodchip Clay, Clay Plastering &
Cob building will be covered through hands-on instruction. Corbett, Oregon,
July 5-10, 2002.
Tuition and registration options: Full 5 day course,

Workshop Overview
Clay mixed with cellulose fiber is one of the most ancient
of all building materials. It has been used to enclose timber frame structures
since the inception of timber framing well over 2 thousand years ago. Today,
800 year-old timber frame structures enclosed with clay infill are still
in use throughout northern Europe and Asia. Not a few, but many. The oldest
wood frame structures on the earth all used clay
as a wall enclosure system. Is this chance? Or, is there more to it? Are
there lessons to be learned? When we begin to define the term sustainability
as it relates to building, then we must include in the equation the life
span of the structure. As we attempt to develop new building patterns for
this age that take into consideration their impact on the environment in
which we now live in conjunction with their long-term value, then we must
not ignore the empirical evidence that we have before us. Timber frames
with clay enclosures have proven to be the most durable building system
next to stone. In this workshop we will explore the possibilities. A number
of traditional systems will be explored, with a primary focus on those
that can be easily adapted to meet our modern building needs.
Clay can be mixed with virtually any cellulose fiber to create a durable building material: straw, woodchips, sawdust, peanut shells, coffee husks, etc. The type of cellulose fiber mixed with clay was traditionally based upon the most common fiber resource available. The resulting clay/fiber mix can be used in a wide variety of ways. It can be formed into bricks, which can be laid to form a solid wall system, or formed into walls directly using slip forms or a light frame and lathing cage. One of the most abundant fibers in the past was straw from grain crops. This was mixed into a relatively dense straw/clay mix and daubed into a wickerwork made up by weaving split willow saplings through oak staves. This system, known as wattle and daub, was one of the most common methods used throughout Europe and Asia for more than a thousand years. For the builder, wattle and daub is one of the easiest and fun ways to build. However, due to the density of the mix it does not provide the insulation value we require to meet modern building requirements in northern climates. Beginning in the early 1970s, a revival of clay building systems took root in Germany, and as a result, many new ways to use the same materials have been studied and developed. These studies have resulted in systems and techniques that have now passed the most stringent building codes in the world and are now in widespread use throughout northern Europe. These have been successful not only because they fulfill the essential need to maintain their traditional use of clay, but also because they are adaptable to nearly any building design or requirement, and perhaps more importantly, by any builder. To make a building system viable on a broader scale, it needs to be easily integrated into the work systems of the common building crew.
The fact is clay remains one of the most viable and sustainable building materials to this day. While there has been much experimenting in this country in the past few years, it remains a mystery to most professional builders and architects. This workshop will focus primarily on how one can integrate clay building into the mainstream building industry. Ways into which we can make it a practical option. This will be done by demonstrating labor and cost efficient methods that can be easily integrated into any building design by virtually any builder or architect. Clay building should be a part of every builder and architects vocabulary in this age.
In this workshop we will be demonstrating a number of traditional clay building systems, but the primary focus will be using woodchip/clay in-filled into a light framework cage. This system has proven to be one of the most efficient from a labor standpoint and readily utilizes an abundant waste productwood chipsand clay, both of which are generally free for the taking. In building with woodchip/clay, material costs are reduced to near zero. This changes the total economic equation of how we build. This has great economic implications. By building with the waste products that abound, we now have bypassed the materials manufacturing industry. The final cost may be equal to any other system, but, and a large but, the money now expended goes back into the local community directly as wages. This is an extremely important and principal aspect of sustainable building. If we are to truly build in a sustainable way, it must begin by creating a locally sustainable economy. This workshop will go beyond the nuts and bolts of building to include ways we can harvest our houses from the environment in which we live.
Day 1) Design Seminar
The first day will begin with a presentation and slide
show discussing a number of traditional clay building systems and appropriate modern
adaptations. There will be ample time for questions and answers. The afternoon
will be filled with hands-on demonstrations of traditional and practical
modern adaptations. This will include mixtures using a variety of fibers
for infill and also earthen plasters. The primary focus will be on identifying
and sourcing materials and how one can set up efficient production systems
that can be readily integrated into any building environment.
Day 2-5) Setting up and Working with the Systems
Days 2-5 will be spent setting up the systems, mixing
and preparing the materials, and delivering it into the walls. This will
include an overview of all tools and equipment required. The first step
is to set up and organize an efficient workspace. While there is something
intrinsically fun about working with clay, it can be hard work. Setting
up efficient production systems that carefully analyze inflow and outflow
can save hours and hours of work. While the process of building is and
should be fun, the living in it is the ultimate goal; therefore, setting
up efficient systems becomes one of the most important aspects in making
it practical and cost effective. Students who participate in this process
will leave understanding the full nature of how one can build with the
stuff beneath your feet.
Day 6) Open House
The morning will begin with a presentation and overview
of clay building systems in general, and specifics on the system used on
the project. There will be ample time to get muddy for those inclined.
This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in incorporating clay
building into their building future--contractors, architects, professional
builders, and owner builders, to see and to feel and to taste clay building
first hand.

One of the oldest traditional forms of enclosure, often seen in historic European half timbered buildings, Wattle & Daub can last for centuries. The work group will prepare and install the wattles, using materials harvested from the local woods, mix, and apply the straw/clay daub. Wattle & Daub may not be the best system for enclosing exterior walls in northern climates due to the density of the mixture of clay, but it may well be the most interesting and fun clay based building system of all. Understanding its properties will open up new doorways into building with natural materials. Wattle & Daub
An adaptation of a centuries-old wall system, Wattle & Daub, straw light clay uses the same materials but is fashioned in a way that provides greater insulating qualities. The straw, mixed with clay slip, can be installed using a slip form system, or in a cage built from light framing (2x2s) and lath or reed matting. The advantage of straw light clay in modern building is that the thickness of the wall can be increased to provide greater insulating value as dictated by the local climate. It also uses materials which can be obtained locally, requiring only body energy as opposed to embodied energy. Straw/Light Clay & Woodchip/Light Clay
Wood chips can also be mixed with a clay slip to create a wall infill that has efficient insulating and fire resistant properties similar to straw clay. The advantage is in the labor to produce the mixture and to infill in the walls, which is about half that of straw clay. In wood producing regions, wood chips become an attractive option.
In addition to traditional clay infill systems, we will be using a variety of more modern systems that use materials appropriate to the region in which a building is constructed, and with labor-saving innovations. A variety of systems including unfired straw/clay blocks, reed matting, wood chips and cellulose fibers will be demonstrated and used. Alternative Infill Systems
Clay plastering provides a natural, durable and breathable wall finish with low embodied energy. This workshop covers the system from A to Z from preparation to application for a number specific building applications; straw bale, reed matting, wood lath, woodchip/clay and Cob, interior and exterior use.

Double-Pron Tri Tip Weekend
Saturday night the better half and I had a hankering for some beef, so I fired up the Weber 26.75" and set about reverse-searing some tri tip.

There's more! We had plenty of leftovers, so what better use than to make a beer-batter-crust tri tip and mushroom pizza in cast iron? http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_0556.jpg http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_0561.jpg http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_0566.jpg Par cooked the bottom of the crust inside on the stove burner for 3 minutes on high heat, then onto the Weber using a pizza stone to even out cooking heat across the bottom of the skillet. http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_0567.jpg http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_0568.jpg http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_0569.jpg http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_0570.jpg http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_0572.jpg If anyone's interested in details or full recipes, I just started a little cooking blog just to track and share my experiments.

Abbie Burke is a general assignment reporter for FOX21 News.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs police are looking for a man they said robbed four banks in Colorado Springs over the past month.
Police said the man is dangerous and are asking the public for help in identifying him or gathering information.
"He goes into the banks, he's demanding cash, he's holding a gun, he's holding people at gunpoint, and he's a very dangerous person," Sgt. Steve Noblitt with the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) said.
Police describe the man as a 5'9" - 5'11" man who has a medium to muscular build. They said is age ranges from early 20s to early 30s, but they do not know the race or skin color of the man. Victims said they have not observed a distinct accent. Police said the man may also be military trained.
"He's covered from head to toe, but he does have some pretty distinctive mannerisms and characteristics, and that's what we want people to concentrate on," Noblitt said.
The man allegedly robbed the following banks in the city:
- Academy Bank in the 2800 block of Briargate Boulevard on Dec. 28 - American National Bank in the 4100 block of Royal Pine Drive on Jan. 10 - TCF Bank in the 5400 block of E. Woodmen Road on Jan. 15 - TCF Bank in the 4300 block of N. Academy Boulevard on Jan. 22 Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Robbery Unit or CrimeStoppers.
"Take note of clothing, take note of mannerisms, take note of, we don't believe he has an accent, but take note of the way the person speaks, take note of their shoes, their socks, their pants, their everything and that may be the single piece of evidence that we need to track him down," Noblitt said.

Peter Emmons had a decision to make basketball or swimming?
It was during his freshman year at Timberline, and Emmons was mulling over his options on which sport he was going to pursue.
For quite some time he leaned toward basketball, despite the fact his family tree featured one of the few Blazers in the schools 43-year history to claim a state swimming championship.
But as the winter sports season drew near, Emmons had a change of heart. Not long after, he was being fitted for a swimming cap.
Now, four years later and with the benefit of hindsight, did he make the right decision?
Without question, Emmons says, his answer coming with little hesitation.
Emmons will be making his third consecutive trip to the Class 3A state swimming championships on Friday, competing in the 500 freestyle and two relays the 200 medley and the freestyle.
Remarkably, Emmons success has come even though he didnt swim competitively until he started school at Timberline. By that time many high school swimmers are beginning their second decade in the sport.
How was he able to close the gap?
Sheer hard work, Timberline swimming coach Marie Ratcliff said. He just flat went out there and worked extremely hard to get to where he is at. He proved you didnt have to be a lifelong club swimmer to have success.
Evidence of the payoff from that hard work can be found in Emmons final time in the 500 freestyle at the West Central District III meet last weekend. He finished second in 4 minutes, 58.69 seconds, nearly 14 seconds faster than his previous best.
You just dont see swimmers do that, Ratcliff said. You dont shave 14 seconds off your time this late in the season, not at this level. But he did and the guys on the team are still talking about it.
Along with hard work, Emmons went to the district meet with a new strategy that certainly appears to have worked based on his final time.
I just told myself to relax during the first 100, Emmons said. I usually go out there pretty fast, but this time I went out there relaxed and was able to finish strong.
Emmons goal at the state meet is to break the school-record time of 4:54 in the 500 free.
Should he accomplish that, he will become the second member of his family to own a Timberline record. His mother, Celeste, set the 50 freestyle school record (25.15) while winning the 3A state championship in 1977.
Swimming has always been in his blood, Ratcliff said. It just took a little time for it to surface.
Even though Emmons is focused on the 500 freestyle and breaking the school record, he seems to take more pride in the Blazers two relay events at the state meet.
Emmons will team up with Connor Prescher, Conner Powers and Colton Mahon in the 200 medley relay. He will join Powers, Mahon and Eric Smith in the 200 free relay.
Everything has gone great so far this season, Emmons said. Everyone on the team has worked very hard to get here. I just view it as an honor to be able to close out my four years here by swimming at the state meet for my school.

When hosting a large, blowout-style bash ask guests to bring alcohol. Delegate a certain type of liquor or simply let them bring their favorite bottle. Doing this ensures that you won't run out of drinks and anything leftover can stock your liquor cabinet!
However, do make a specialty cocktail and purchase beer. For Fab's black and white luau I'll be making a simple yet chic punch. Fab requested a "white" drink and this colorless ti punch is elegantly refreshing. To check out the cocktail recipe — it's garnished with white rock candy! — read more

This is such a beautiful place and we enjoyed listening to the symphony. We are planning on going back and listening to the millennial choir on Wednesday Dec 5, 2013 with the symphony.
Went here for a holiday children's concert; the players were children from a conservatory and admission cost was a toy for a toy drive. The auditorium has excellent acoustics and good views ofthe stage. The surrounding area has other cultural venues and is pleasant to walk around.
Dallas Meyerson is beautiful and highly enjoyable. The acoustic are wonderful so it doesn't matter where you sit.
We went to the Meyerson for classical performance. The facility are lovely and make you feel like you are walking around in a piece of artwork. Comfy seats and easy to get around.
Beautiful facility and lots of terrific performances. Also, convenient parking the the multi-level garage below the hall.
Whether you are hearing a rock, jazz or classical performer, the sound is beautiful. Of course, the music of the symphony is priceless.
We are season subscribers and have been for a long time. The last few concerts we opted to eat at Opus. The first time I was leery from experience but the food was quite good and the service superior. When went again it was also very good so it appears to have successfully upgraded as promised and I would now... More
The Dallas Symphony is a decent orchestra certainly in the top twenty-five in the US. I was thrilled to be able to attend a concert on a recent trip to visit family. I prefer the shoebox design but this particular design must have been a huge challenge for the acoustical team. The space is rather vacuous and does not lend... More
I've visited the Meyerson numerous times since it first opened in 1989. When my sons were little, I took them to visit and hear a free weekday concert, when the organist was tuning the huge Lay Family Concert organ, which has over 4000 pipes. Over the years, I've seen quality symphony performances as well as concerts featuring Michael Bolton, Michael... More
I would recommend the Myerson to anyone for almost any performance you attend just because of the accoustics as well as the beautiful interior. No matter if you're on the main floor or in the highest balcony, the sound quality is very good. We've probably visited the Myerson at least 50 times since it opened and we alway look forward... More
