Pethidine (INN) or meperidine hydrochloride (USAN) (commonly referred to as Demerol in the US[1] but also referred to as: isonipecaine; lidol; pethanol; piridosal; Algil; Alodan; Centralgin; Dispadol; Dolantin; Mialgin (in Indonesia); Petidin Dolargan (in Poland);[2] Dolestine; Dolosal; Dolsin; Mefedina) is a fast-acting opioid analgesic drug.
Pethidine was the first synthetic opioid synthesized in 1932 as a potential anti-spasmodic agent by the chemist Otto Eislib. Its analgesic properties were first recognized by Otto Schaumann working for IG Farben, Germany.[3]
Pethidine is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, and is delivered as a hydrochloride salt in tablets, as a syrup, or by intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous injection. For much of the 20th century, pethidine was the opioid of choice for many physicians; in 1975 60% of doctors prescribed it for acute pain and 22% for chronic severe pain.[4]
Compared to morphine, pethidine was supposed to be safer and carry less risk of addiction, and to be superior in treating the pain associated with biliary spasm or renal colic due to its putative antispasmodic effects. In fact, pethidine is no more effective than morphine at treating biliary or renal pain, and its low potency, short duration of action, and unique toxicity (i.e., seizures, delirium, other neuropsychological effects) relative to other available opioid analgesics have seen it fall out of favor in recent years for all but a very few, very specific indications.[specify][5] Several countries, including Australia, have put strict limits on its use.[6] Nevertheless, some physicians continue to use it as a first line strong opioid.
Adverse effects[edit]
The adverse effects of pethidine administration are primarily those of the opioids as a class: nausea, vomiting, sedation, dizziness, diaphoresis, urinary retention and constipation. Unlike other opioids, it does not cause miosis. Overdosage can cause muscle flaccidity, respiratory depression, obtundedness, cold and clammy skin, hypotension and coma. A narcotic antagonist such as naloxone is indicated to reverse respiratory depression. Serotonin syndrome has occurred in patients receiving concurrent antidepressant therapy with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Convulsive seizures sometimes observed in patients receiving parenteral pethidine on a chronic basis have been attributed to accumumulation in plasma of the metabolite norpethidine (normeperidine). Fatalities have occurred following either oral or intravenous pethidine overdosage.[7][8] The adverse effects associated with pethidine have earned it the nickname "Demonol" in the U.S. (a play on the Demerol brand name).
Pethidine has serious interactions that can be dangerous with MAOIs (e.g., furazolidone, isocarboxazid, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, selegiline, tranylcypromine). Such patients may suffer agitation, delirium, headache, convulsions, and/or hyperthermia. Fatal interactions have been reported including the death of Libby Zion.[9] It is thought to be caused by an increase in cerebral serotonin concentrations. It is probable that pethidine can also interact with a number of other medications, including muscle relaxants, some antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and alcohol.
Pethidine is also relatively contraindicated for use when a patient is suffering from liver, or kidney disease, has a history of seizures or epilepsy, has an enlarged prostate or urinary retention problems, or suffers from hypothyroidism, asthma, orAddison's disease.
Mechanism of action[edit]
Like morphine, pethidine exerts its analgesic effects by acting as an agonist at the μ-opioid receptor.[10] It also has an agonistic κ-opioid receptor action, which may be involved in the anti-shivering effects it elicits.[11] It has structural similarities to atropine and other tropane alkaloids and may have some of their effects and side effects.[12] In addition to these opioidergic and anticholinergic effects, it has local anesthetic activity related to its interactions with sodium ion channels.
Pethidine's apparent in vitro efficacy as an "antispasmodic" is due to its local anesthetic effects. It does not have antispasmodic effects in vivo.[13] Pethidine also has stimulant effects mediated by its inhibition of the dopamine transporter (DAT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET). Because of its DAT inhibitory action, pethidine will substitute for cocaine in animals trained to discriminate cocaine from saline.[14]
Several analogs of pethidine such as 4-fluoropethidine have been synthesized that are potent inhibitors of the reuptake of the monoamine neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine via DAT and NET.[15][16] It has also been associated with cases of serotonin syndrome, suggesting some interaction with serotonergic neurons, but the relationship has not been definitively demonstrated.[6][14][16][17]
It is more lipid-soluble than morphine, resulting in a faster onset of action. Its duration of clinical effect is 120–150 minutes although it is typically administered at 4–6 hour intervals. Pethidine has been shown to be less effective than morphine, diamorphine, orhydromorphone at easing severe pain, or pain associated with movement or coughing.[14][16][17] It is also used for the treatment of postanesthetic shivering.
Like other opioid drugs, pethidine has the potential to cause physical dependence or addiction. Pethidine may be more likely to be abused than other prescription opioids, perhaps because of its rapid onset of action.[18] When compared with oxycodone, hydromorphone, and placebo, pethidine was consistently associated with more euphoria, difficulty concentrating, confusion, and impaired psychomotor and cognitive performance when administered to healthy volunteers.[19] The especially severe side effects unique to pethidine among opioids—serotonin syndrome, seizures, delirium, dysphoria, tremor—are primarily or entirely due to the action of its metabolite,norpethidine.[16][17]
Pethidine is quickly hydrolysed in the liver to pethidinic acid and is also demethylated to norpethidine, which has half the analgesic activity of pethidine but a longer elimination half-life (8–12 hours[20]); accumulating with regular administration, or in renal failure. Norpethidine is toxic and has convulsant and hallucinogenic effects. The toxic effects mediated by the metabolites cannot be countered with opioid receptor antagonists such as naloxone or naltrexone and are probably primarily due to norpethidine's anticholinergic activity probably due to its structural similarity to atropine, though its pharmacology has not been thoroughly explored. The neurotoxicity of pethidine's metabolites is a unique feature of pethidine compared to other opioids. Pethidine's metabolites are further conjugated with glucuronic acid and excreted into the urine.
Harmful use, dependence, and diversion[edit]
In data from the U.S. Drug Abuse Warning Network, mentions of hazardous or harmful use of pethidine declined between 1997 and 2002, in contrast to increases for fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine, and oxycodone.[21] The number of dosage units of pethidine that were reported lost or stolen in the U.S. increased 16.2% between 2000 and 2003, from 32,447 to 37,687.[22]
The first QSAR focused on exploring how changing the nature of the aromatic substituents alters monoamine reuptake inhibitor affinities.[25][26]

In behavioral activity studies, none of the compounds would substitute for cocaine in mice, and they were also inactive as LMA stimulants.
This is in direct contrast to the methylphenidate analogs which more convincingly displayed cocaine-like traits.
The aryl moiety can be modified depending on whether DAT affinity is actually desirable or SERT affinity is wanted.
(J. Rhoden et, al.)[27]
Meperidine was initially found to be selective for the SERT over the DAT.
All the further analogs in the second QSAR study are based around the m,p-Cl2 phenyl substitution pattern.

West vs. East in UWS hockey tournament
The University of Wisconsin-Superior men's hockey team, along with its fans, will get a taste of Eastern hockey when it hosts the Yellowjacket Holiday Tournament this weekend at Wessman Arena.By: Ken Olson, Superior Telegram
The University of Wisconsin-Superior men's hockey team, along with its fans, will get a taste of Eastern hockey when it hosts the Yellowjacket Holiday Tournament this weekend at Wessman Arena.
Joining UWS (9-3-1) in the four-team event will be the Nichols College Bison of Dudley, Mass., and Curry College Colonels of Milton, Mass. Both teams are members of the ECAC Northeast Conference.
Rounding out the field will be the Finlandia Lions of Hancock, Mich.
The tournament kicks off with Finlandia (3-8) and Curry playing at 4 p.m. Friday, followed by UWS and Nichols at 7:05 p.m. Saturday's games are Finlandia vs. Nichols at 4 p.m. and UWS vs. Curry at 7:05 p.m.

A bus driver was in the right place at the right time, Monday. Chillicothe City Transit Director Mike Scholl said Melvin Park was on his regular route on Second Street when he noticed that a woman in a wheelchair was stopped on nearby railroad tracks.
"He alertly stopped the bus and proceeded to ask if the individual in the wheelchair needed any assistance," said Scholl, "and he was able to get her unstuck, pull her off of the tracks, and my understanding at this point is literally seconds after that was accomplished, the train came around the corner."
Officials said there were no injuries.

Beyond Paper Clips and Staples
Binding Systems Enhance Your Professional Image
Quality presentation handouts are items your audience will want to keep for future reference. Binding these materials into a convenient booklet or manual makes access much easier pages are less likely to become lost, mangled or mutilated as the materials get passed from person to person, stored on a bookshelf or filed for future reference. Beyond convenience for the recipient, binding your handouts gives a more valuable and professional appearance to your material.
5 most popular binding systems
There are essentially five ways to bind presentation handouts, surprisingly all very similar in cost:
1. Spiral binding.
Plastic spiral binders come in a variety of colors and sizes to meet just about any need. They start at 3/16 of an inch to accommodate fewer than 20 pages, and move up in size to 2 inches or more. Matching color or clear plastic covers and backings also are available for spiral binders. Using card stock rather than plastic for the cover will save you money, but provides less durability. Pages can be added to spiral-bound materials, but if you've ever tried it, it's not much fun. One advantage to spiral binding systems is that the booklet will lay perfectly flat, good for taking notes or reading without having to have a coffee cup weighing down one page and a tape dispenser on the other to keep the booklet from springing closed.
2. Velo binding.
This makes a sleek-looking packet whose binding element is two thin strips of plastic, front and back, snapped together. As with most bindings, a variety of colors are available. The completed packet feels official and doesn't have the loose feel of spiral-bound materials. Negatives? Pages cannot be added to a velo binding and it doesn't lay completely flat when opened like a spiral-bound piece.
3. Tape binding.
Tape has the look of a book binding. It's attractive, but after repeated use the tape tends to loosen and fray. Another negative is that pages cannot be added.
4. Booklet binding.
With this system, pages are stapled on the edges and your final product is a true booklet. This binding tends to be very durable and people will hang on to a booklet longer than other types of material. If you want to give your handouts the greatest sense of permanence and longevity, consider this type of binding.
5. Three-ring notebook.
Notebooks are available in a variety of sizes and colors. They can be custom printed if you're trying to sell a service or product. Notebooks also come with clear plastic pockets on the cover and spine so you can slip in your own presentation title sheet and your company or product logo. A key benefit is that three-ring binders lay flat. Pages also can be easily deleted or added, making notebooks a good option for a working conference where a week's worth of presentations should be kept together. Notebooks also store well on a shelf.
Okay, so you'll be paying more for a binder than for a staple or a paper clip, but the payoff will be in image, usability and longevity of your materials. And it's easy to have your presentation handouts bound. Kinko's and its many cousins have made the process fast, easy and inexpensive.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?: To judge that this image is incorrect, a machine would need to be conscious of many things about the world (unless programmed for just such a photograph).
Image: Geof Kern
In Brief
- Intelligent behavior of computers continues to improve, but these machines are still far removed from being conscious of the world around them.
- Computer scientists and neurobiologists like to ponder a related question with both a technical and metaphysical bent: Will we even be able to tell when a machine is truly conscious?
- A simple test, which can be performed at home with this magazine and a pair of scissors, may ascertain whether such a machine has finally arrived.
More In This Article
Computers inch ever closer to behaving like intelligent human beings—witness the ability of IBM's Watson to beat the all-time champs of the television quiz show Jeopardy. So far, though, most people would doubt that computers truly "see" a visual scene full of shapes and colors in front of their cameras, that they truly "hear" a question through their microphones, that they feel anything—experience consciousness—the way humans do, despite computers' remarkable ability to crunch data at superhuman speed.
How would we know if a machine had taken on this seemingly ineffable quality of conscious awareness? Our strategy relies on the knowledge that only a conscious machine can demonstrate a subjective understanding of whether a scene depicted in some ordinary photograph is "right" or "wrong." This ability to assemble a set of facts into a picture of reality that makes eminent sense—or know, say, that an elephant should not be perched on top of the Eiffel Tower—defines an essential property of the conscious mind. A roomful of IBM supercomputers, in contrast, still cannot fathom what makes sense in a scene.

Ahead in the Clouds
Susan Solomon helped patch the ozone hole. Now, as a leader of a major United Nations report—out this month—she's going after global warming
- By Virginia Morell
- Smithsonian magazine, February 2007, Subscribe
This month, when the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization release their first major report on global climate change in six years, two things are likely to happen. Some people will dismiss it. And Susan Solomon will grow hoarse explaining why they shouldn't.
A no-nonsense 51-year-old atmospheric chemist, she's a co-leader of the massive new study, along with Qin Dahe, a climatologist from the China Meteorological Administration in Beijing. Solomon will become the public face of the U.N. report, in charge of presenting the best scientific thinking on the subject of global warming and the evidence that it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. "The science is strong," she says, "and we'll be presenting a consensus view."
To reach that consensus, Solomon logged more than 400,000 air miles over the past four years and held dozens of meetings with the report's more than 500 authors. "This much I can say: the climate is changing and quite noticeably," she says shortly before the report is released. In her paper- and book-crammed office at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, Colorado, she suggests that policy makers (and the rest of us) have reached a critical moment in our dealings with, or failings to deal with, climate change: "The effects will vary from region to region, and the challenge that society will face is to get people to think beyond their own backyards and to make judgments about the risks they're willing to take."
Maybe as the climate continues to warm, the ice caps won't melt; maybe a rising sea level will be offset by some other unforeseen event. She's reminded of the scene in Dirty Harry in which the cop played by Clint Eastwood confronts a criminal: "You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" Solomon says, "That's what we as a society have to decide. Will we choose to go down the same path, or will we make some changes in our behaviors? You could say that the gun of climate change is pointed at us. So, how lucky do we feel?"
Scientists who study climate change or other environmental problems often feel like Cassandra, the mythical prophetess of the Trojan War who was cursed to foretell the future but not to be believed. But Solomon doesn't see herself that way at all. She's more optimistic than many of her climatology peers, and with good reason: she was a prime mover behind one of the most important global environmental turnarounds in history, repairing the hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica.
Solomon made her first trip to the McMurdo Station in Antarctica in August 1986. She and her 15-man team went there to study a puzzling new phenomenon that British researchers had reported the year before: earth's protective ozone layer had begun to thin above the Antarctic. The planet was losing its best natural defense against the sun's ultraviolet radiation, which causes cancer and cataracts in people and can damage crops.
The plane landed in the middle of the day, in dark that was "like twilight at noon," Solomon recalls. Solomon was just 30. She'd completed her doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley five years earlier, and she was an out-and-out geek, a theoretician who used a computer to model the chemistry of the atmosphere. Although she had no field experience, she'd been chosen leader of the first National Ozone Expedition to the Antarctic in part because she was one of the few scientists to take the ozone hole seriously. And she had devised a theory to explain it.
The suspected culprit was chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), because earlier studies had shown that these compounds, most of which are gases at room temperature, could damage earth's ozone shield. Invented in the 1920s, CFCs (made by linking atoms of chlorine, fluorine and carbon) had been put to use as aerosol propellants in hair spray and the like; CFCs were excellent coolants, too, and soon were in every refrigerator and air conditioner. But when released into the lower atmosphere—as they were with every squirt of an aerosol spray can—they drift with the winds up into the stratosphere. There, ultraviolet rays kick chlorine atoms out of CFCs, and each freed chlorine atom goes on to break apart as many as 100,000 ozone molecules.
The scientists who demonstrated the ozone-eating ability of CFCs—they would later earn a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the work—believed that the degradation high in the atmosphere would be slow, taking perhaps hundreds of years. Yet the ozone shield was disintegrating quickly. "And the thinning wasn't supposed to show up over Antarctica first," Solomon recalls, "since that's not where these chemicals were being used."
She came up with an explanation after noticing something that others had overlooked: the ozone depletion was occurring in the lower stretches of the ozone layer, about eight miles above the earth, rather than in the stratosphere's upper reaches. A self-confessed "weather-weenie" who loves watching summer afternoon thunderheads over the Rockies, Solomon knew that unusual clouds often form above the Antarctic each austral winter and spring. They are so full of ice crystals they shimmer like abalone shells. The crystals contain nitric and sulfuric acids, and Solomon speculated that when chlorine compounds came into contact with these cold, acidic clouds, the chlorine was transformed into rabid ozone-eating chemicals.

Thank you for coming to Boise recently to shed current light on human impacts on our little planet. Al Gore was the talking head for this new awareness; but you and other very valuable people are the brains behind this VERY real movement. Thank you for your very sobering science. Please keep up the push in winning converts; I have the faith in you. Peace to you.

What effect does Hurricanes and Moonsoons have on global warming? Or does global warming contribute to those storms? Who was the first to discover if we have global warming/ and how and when did he/she discover "global Warming"? Thank you

Susan Solomon, with her brilliant theoretical mind, saved the planet once. We owe her an incalulable debt of gratitude. The very least we can do is vigorously support every idea she suggests on global warming

Well with 2 1/2 weeks left until winter officially begins, we had our first snow/ice/rain storm of the season. The van wasn't running well, so David took my Rav4 to work on Sunday. I stayed home, as the road was too icy for me to want to walk, especially given that Tasha wasn't here to need a walk. I just lay low, kept the home fire burning (literally), did laundry and made supper. I also read a book on the Lyme disease diet. It is a bit confusing because one book says one thing and the next something slightly different. I guess I am ahead of most as I have been on a similar diet for years being intolerant of wheat and dairy anyway. Still and all, when I see an ad for macaroni and cheese, I look at it with longing.

More and more health-minded eaters are opting to become pescatarian--and getting slim. Fast. Plus, the five rules of fish eaters.
by Courtney Rubin, DETAILS
What was once a rest stop on the way to vegetarianism is now Hollywood's hottest diet. The pescatarian regimen--basically a vegetarian approach supplemented by fish and shellfish--is a low-fuss way to stay on the chic-eatery circuit and reap some serious benefits: It can help you lose weight, build muscle, and even improve your sex life.Little wonder, then, that this dietary lifestyle has become the choice of in-the-know, health-conscious celebrities like Olivia Wilde, David Duchovny, Common, and Ben Stiller. Top TV trainer Jillian Michaels feasts on fish-and-veggie combos, and on New Girl, the frequently shirtless Schmidt (Max Greenfield) announced on Thanksgiving that he was, for the most part, "a refined and enlightened pescatarian."
The schools of fish lovers are swelling, and the reasons are both simple and compelling. For

What's better than a dozen roses for Valentine's Day? A dozen juicy stories from our editors. From bad gifts to bad behavior, we share our naughtiest and nicest experiences.
Jon Roth, Editorial Assistant
In my sophomore year at boarding school, I shared a suite with two other guys who talked a big game. On Valentine's Day, we all had girls over during "parietals"--the frigid, preppy version of conjugal visits, when members of the opposite sex were permitted in our rooms. Dorm rules included leaving the door cracked open 10 inches and keeping at least three feet on the floor at all times. I fudged the rules, fed my date chocolate-covered strawberries, provided a screening of Moulin Rouge (there is no surer aphrodisiac), and made it to third base. Not long after that I decided I was gay, so most of the appeal was in bragging to my roommates, who'd both struck out.

courtesy of brogayoga.comIntroducing broga, one of the Collins English Dictionary's top words of 2012 (it's up there with totes amazeballs, Gangnam Style, and fiscal cliff). In the United States, Broga is a trademarked technique developed by two yoga enthusiasts from Massachusetts, basically amounting to (you guessed it) yoga for bros. They're not the only ones creating classes built around poses for today's inflexible male. But is it a real phenomenon or just a meaningless buzz word like bromance or manscaping? Whether it's legit or not, it's popping up in yoga studios across the country, at places like the Cobra Club in Brooklyn and the Pad in San Francisco. But before you bend over backward for what might be a passing trend, we weigh the pros and cons of stretching it out with the boys.

Drink Clear Liquor--Not Brown
When you're cocktailing with colleagues or hammering out a deal, opt for vodka. Research has shown that not only is the clear liquor one of the most effective types of alcohol for squashing stress but that it also causes the least physical fall-out. Brown liquors contain higher concentrations of congeners, by-products of fermentation that lead to rough mornings after. Beer and wine are worse: "They have too much yeast and sugar, which not only leads to bad hangovers but also tends to cause people to have cravings for dessert and snacks," explains Jeffrey Morrison, M.D., the author of Cleanse Your Body, Clear Your Mind." A vodka soda is the best drink to have. That or a shot of tequila."

After reading more about whitespace handling in scannerless parsing generators (e.g., GLR, PEG), it looks like you have to manually insert references to whitespace rules after every "token rule" and one at the beginning of the parse. So apparently, ANTLR is a scannerless parser generator if you simply use characters as tokens. This page shows not only how to build a real scannerless parser in antlr but also shows how to build abstract syntax trees (i.e., not parse trees)!
Scannerless parser
Here is the grammar from before updated with whitespace handling and keyword checking in rule id.
Given input
ANTLRWorks reports the following parse tree:
The other problem is to avoid matching keywords as identifiers, which we can handle with a semantic predicate. Oddly enough, we can do it without a predicate that gets hoisted into the decision-making process. The predicate in rule id makes sure that we have not found a keyword. Given input:
we get a bad, but correct error message:
line 1:6 rule id failed predicate: {!keywords.contains($text)}?
Notice that, because the predicate appears after letter+, there is no way it gets hoisted into the prediction for rule stat. It turns out that syntax alone is enough to distinguish the alternatives because "return" it is always followed by an expression but not by '=' or ':'. The order of the alternatives in stat does not matter; LL(*) correctly handles the decision.
What if we have two syntactically identical alternatives where the left edges start with a keyword and an identifier?
ANTLR reports the syntactic ambiguity:
warning(200): T.g:21:5: Decision can match input such as "'r' 'e' 't' 'u' 'r' 'n' ' ' ';'" using multiple alternatives: 1, 2 As a result, alternative(s) 2 were disabled for that input
It resolves it correctly, however, because priority is given to the first alternative. If we swap the order of the alternatives, though, "return" would match as an identifier. We could fix this with a semantic predicate, but it would be awkward in this scannerless mode. The predicate would have to march ahead to match an identifier and then test it against the keyword list. The validating predicate we have above in rule id checks the text after we've matched the identifier.
To do this for real, I think I would make ANTLR deal explicitly with scannerless grammars so that it could automatically add "ws?" on the end of any token rule. we already have the notion of a token rule, anything starting with an uppercase letter. So if you define
Then ANTLR would automatically insert WS? on the end of that rule. You can also optimize any backtracking or memoization that had to happen, since it knows that the rule is really a token.
Oh, you want AST construction?
The usual ANTLR AST construction mechanism works too, but it's a little bit more work because the individual elements are characters not tokens. Here I have defined a few imaginary tokens for use as AST nodes. For input:
// start return 23; // foo foo = bar; // end
we want AST:
Here is the grammar with AST construction modifications:
PS: woot!
Apr 14, 2011
ooops. Deleted comment by Peter Kooiman (I think) by mistake. He pointed out that .trim() wasn't enough since ws includes comments. Right! Probably I would do match letter+ in another rule and get $text that way. thanks for following! Sorry for delete.
Apr 15, 2011
Ter, sorry to be such a nuisance ;-) but looking at some Rats! grammars I realized it's still not enough..
inputThe optional whitespace at the end of kreturn is not enough, this is why Rats! has stuff like
ie a predicate to make sure no more letters or digits follow "while". In the sample, making ws at the end of kreturn not optional would work, but in the general case it's not a solution for things like "while(a)"
Apr 17, 2011
Oh crap! Ok, looks like we need some kind of formal mechanism after all, or at least a predicate that tests the input without consuming. Problem is I already use ~ to mean "not element but consume" and '!' to mean don't include in the tree. Maybe -LetterOrDigit?

No, zombies aren't attacking northern Michigan.
Two local television stations say hackers broke into their Emergency Alert System with messages Monday warning of a zombie apocalypse.
Along with a crawl strip, an audio message warned viewers that "dead bodies are rising from their graves" and "attacking the living."
The messages ran on public station WNMU and ABC affiliate WBUP.
Two Montana stations also were hit. People watching KRTV heard a man's voice, during the airing of a talk show, announce that "bodies of the dead are rising".

WNMU General Manger Eric Smith says police determined the source isn't local and may be from outside the country.
He wasn't aware of any arrests and says equipment changes have been made to prevent future incidents.
Karole White, president of the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, says it's the first breach of the emergency system that she's aware of since its inception in the 1940s.
