For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to acetaminophen / oxycodone: oral capsule, oral solution, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release
Psychosis has also been reported during withdrawal from oxycodone.[Ref]
In general, acetaminophen is well tolerated when administered in therapeutic doses. Oxycodone may be habit forming. Withdrawal symptoms after either abrupt cessation or fast tapering may occur and include agitation, restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, tremor, abdominal cramps, piloerection, blurred vision, vomiting, and sweating.[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects including general erythematous skin rashes associated with acetaminophen have been reported, but are rare. Cases of bullous erythema and purpura fulminans associated with acetaminophen have been reported. Acetaminophen has been associated with a risk of rare but potentially fatal serious skin reactions know as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). Oxycodone may produce pruritus.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects with acetaminophen are rare except in alcoholics and after overdose. Cases of acute pancreatitis have been reported rarely. Nausea, vomiting, and constipation occur commonly with oxycodone.[Ref]
One study has suggested that acetaminophen may precipitate acute biliary pain and cholestasis. The mechanism of this effect may be related to inhibition of prostaglandin and alterations in the regulation of the sphincter of Oddi.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects including rare cases of thrombocytopenia associated with acetaminophen have been reported. Acute thrombocytopenia has also been reported as having been caused by sensitivity to acetaminophen glucuronide, the major metabolite of acetaminophen. Methemoglobinemia with resulting cyanosis has also been observed in the setting of acute overdose.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects have included hepatic dysfunction which may occur after overdose. In this setting, severe and sometimes fatal dose-dependent hepatitis has been reported. Several cases of hepatotoxicity from chronic acetaminophen therapy at therapeutic doses have also been reported despite a lack of risk factors for toxicity[Ref]
Hepatotoxicity may be increased by thyroid drugs, zidovudine, fasting, or alcohol use.
Alcoholic patients may develop hepatotoxicity after even modest doses of acetaminophen. In healthy patients, approximately 15 grams of acetaminophen is necessary to deplete liver glutathione stores by 70% in a 70 kg person. Hepatotoxicity has been reported following smaller doses. Glutathione concentrations may be repleted by the antidote n-acetylcysteine. One case report has suggested that hypothermia may also be beneficial in decreasing liver damage during overdose.
In a recent retrospective study of 306 patients admitted for acetaminophen overdose, 6.9% had severe liver injury but all recovered. None of the 306 patients died.
A 19-year-old female developed hepatotoxicity, reactive plasmacytosis and agranulocytosis followed by a leukemoid reaction after acute acetaminophen toxicity.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects including anaphylaxis and fixed drug eruptions have been reported rarely in association with acetaminophen use.[Ref]
Nervous system
Severe adverse effects of oxycodone, such as respiratory depression, can be treated with the opioid antagonist, naloxone. (The usual adult dose of naloxone is 1 to 2 mg every 5 minutes as necessary to a maximum of 10 mg. The dose is usually administered intravenously, but in an emergency may be given intramuscularly, subcutaneously, or sublingually.)[Ref]
Nervous system side effects with oxycodone containing products are common and include drowsiness, sedation, dizziness, and lightheadedness. Respiratory depression has also been reported.[Ref]
Psychiatric side effects of oxycodone reported include paranoia, psychosis, and hallucinations.[Ref]
Acetaminophen related acute tubular necrosis usually occurs in conjunction with liver failure, but has been observed as an isolated finding in rare cases. A possible increase in the risk of renal cell carcinoma has been associated with chronic acetaminophen use.
A recent case-control study of patients with end-stage renal disease suggested that long term consumption of acetaminophen may significantly increase the risk of end-stage renal disease particularly in patients taking more than two tablets per day.[Ref]
Renal side effects of acetaminophen are rare and include acute tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis. Additional adverse renal effects are most often observed after overdose, after chronic abuse (often with multiple analgesics), or in association with acetaminophen-related hepatotoxicity.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects have included a case of eosinophilic pneumonia which has been associated with acetaminophen.[Ref]
Two cases of hypotension have been reported following the administration of acetaminophen. Both patients experienced significant decreases in blood pressure. One of the two patients required pressor agents to maintain adequate mean arterial pressures. Neither episode was associated with symptoms of anaphylaxis. Neither patient was rechallenged after resolution of the initial episode.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects have included at least two cases of hypotension which have been reported following the administration of acetaminophen.[Ref]
Metabolic side effects including metabolic acidosis have been reported following a massive overdose of acetaminophen.
In the case of metabolic acidosis, causality is uncertain as more than one drug was ingested. The case of metabolic acidosis followed the ingestion of 75 grams of acetaminophen, 1.95 grams of aspirin, and a small amount of a liquid household cleaner. The patient also had a history of seizures which the authors reported may have contributed to an increased lactate level indicative of metabolic acidosis.

Delayed start, but Braves rally late again to sweep
Atlanta gets to LA 'pen yet again, taking impressive Minor off hook
ATLANTA -- After addressing the media early Sunday evening at Turner Field, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez breathed a sigh of relief. His emotions could have been much different had his team not ended a long, rain-soaked day with a third consecutive comeback victory.
Still riding the momentum of the late-inning home runs that propelled them to victories the previous two days, the Braves played some small ball and manufactured four eighth-inning runs to complete a three-game sweep with Sunday's 5-2 win against the Dodgers at Turner Field.
"We got it done somehow," Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons said. "That's what you've got to do. Just get it done somehow. However you can, get it done."
Less than 24 hours after surrendering back-to-back eighth-inning home runs, Dodgers right-handed reliever Kenley Jansen entered Sunday's seventh inning and stranded two runners with a strikeout of Justin Upton. But the big right-hander's good fortunes ended shortly after he surrendered a Freddie Freeman single and walked Brian McCann to begin the eighth inning.
Simmons reached on a perfectly-placed sacrifice-bunt attempt against Brandon League to load the bases for pinch-hitter Gerald Laird, who tied the game with a single to left-center field. Ramiro Pena followed with a go-ahead sacrifice fly, and Chris Johnson added an insurance run with a single off League.
"We've got a good feeling right now," Johnson said. "We know we've got some good hitters in our lineup and that we can get some runs going. We have nine innings to hit. We don't always want to wait until the end. But we've got all nine innings and we try to use them."
Jordan Schafer's successful squeeze attempt provided a little more cushion for Craig Kimbrel, who ended the game with a scoreless ninth inning. Kimbrel's 14th save was notched long after both teams saw the start of the game delayed one hour and 42 minutes because of rain. Another 33-minute delay occurred during the bottom of the sixth inning.
"It was not easy," Pena said. "With the rain delay, we started a little bit later. You just have to concentrate on the game. Everybody did a great job. I think everybody put something into that inning."
The three comeback wins provided the Braves their first sweep since April 14 and a chance to distance themselves from a disappointing 4-6 road trip that ended Wednesday. They opened this series Friday with Upton belting a decisive sixth-inning grand slam off Paco Rodriguez. Their comeback win Saturday came courtesy of the back-to-back homers Evan Gattis and Simmons hit off Jansen.
"[Third-base coach Brian Snitker] said it's nice to win ballgames without hitting it out of the ballpark, and certainly we have that type of lineup that we can do that," Gonzalez said.
This was actually just the second time the Braves won in the 16 games they have played without a home run. But it was the fourth time they won a game in which they were trailing after the seventh inning. They recorded a total of seven such wins last year.
"I didn't panic at all for us, just because every guy that goes up there, I feel like is going to get a base hit or put a quality at-bat together," Braves starter Mike Minor said. "That's what happened. I don't think any of us panicked."
The Braves did not panic when they lost five of their final six games on their most recent road trip, then placed Jordan Walden and Eric O'Flaherty on the disabled list this weekend. They expressed confidence in their injury-depleted bullpen, then reaped the benefits, as it allowed only one run -- a home run O'Flaherty surrendered Friday -- in eight innings this weekend.
"We got guys out here that can do the job," Gonzalez said. "We'll mix and match and figure out what we can do, but you feel good with everyone that you bring down there."
Before Anthony Varvaro, Luis Avilan and Kimbrel held the Dodgers scoreless in the final three innings of the series finale, Minor enhanced the confidence that has steadily grown as he has posted a 2.43 ERA in his past 24 starts.
Adrian Gonzalez provided the Dodgers a 2-0 lead with his first-inning RBI single and third-inning sacrifice fly. But Minor did not flinch as he retired the final 11 batters he faced, limiting the Dodgers to two runs in six innings. He has allowed two runs or fewer in six of his first nine starts this season.
Minor also aided his own cause when he and Schafer recorded consecutive two-out singles in the fifth inning to account for the only run surrendered by Dodgers starter Matt Magill.
"Usually, when you get come-from-behind victories, you got some pretty good pitching along the way, and I think we did that this whole series," Gonzalez said.

JOHN Ward was made to wait for his Rovers' return as heavy rain forced Saturday's game against Rotherham to be postponed.
With Barnet winning on Friday evening, Rovers slumped to the bottom of the table and spent Christmas propping up the rest of the league.
But the postponement may turn out to be a blessing in disguise if we have a stronger squad when we come to face the Millers in the rearranged game.
At least Ward has been given more time to work with the players and analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the unit he has inherited.
Hopefully he will have seen that we need to improve in the goalkeeper, midfield and attack positions. Bolger is due to return soon to central defence following his injury lay-off. With Kenneth and Parkes also competing for positions we should be well covered there, while Paterson and Woodards are likely to remain as full backs.
It is a pity that Lee Brown has fallen out of favour this season as at one time he looked a highly accomplished full back. Under Ward he should be given a fresh start and a chance to impress.
Michael Smith is another who was not utilised to his full potential as he has the makings of a quality right-sided midfielder and deserves a regular start.
With Broghammer on the left and Gill in midfield, we are just lacking another experienced central midfielder.
In the attack department, much depends on whether we can extend Eaves' loan spell from Bolton. If we can then Clarkson could be the ideal foil alongside him, while hopefully Eliot Richards will also be reinvigorated under the new manager.
With the addition of about three new players the squad will have a stronger look to it and should have enough quality to move away from the relegation zone.
The Pirates are due to play Aldershot on Boxing Day and then make the short trip to Cheltenham on Saturday.
If the Gas could return with three points from one of those games it would lift spirits and confidence for the battle ahead.
Happy New Year to all Gazette readers. Do you agree with Jeff's views? Have your say below.

|We had terrible weather on this peak. We were in the clouds the whole time. Took Williams Lake trail. When we gained the ridge the wind was blowing so hard, I almost felt like I needed to crawl to the summit. Made it though. Amazing feeling to hike in that type of weather. It gave me a new respect.
Did San Luis and Elbert the days before - with the same crappy weather on San Luis.

|Went with a guy I met in Flagstaff a couple of days earlier while doing Humphreys Peak. He said he would like to come along when I said my plans, and I said sure, why not. It would be good to have a partner. I wasn't sure what to expect as far as snow, and how steep it would actually be, we were taking the Williams Lake route. There was snow, but nothing that needed special equipment. It was really pretty once we got up high on the mountain. Lost our way going through those woods after Williams Lake on the way up and on the way down. Figured it out though. I really like this mountain, and how the route just goes straight up it. It was such a good time. One of my favorites of all time so far.

Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2008
|Went up Bull-of-the-Woods; down the west slope and Williams Lake Trail; then 2 miles on the road from the Williams Lake Trailhead to the Bull-of-the-Woods Trailhead. Ended up being about 13 miles and 4,200 feet of gain. Took us about 6 hours and 45 minutes.
No snow until the trail skirted below Bull-of-the-Woods Mountain. It wasn't bad, though. Portions and edges of the trail poked through. No special equipment needed, although gaiters were nice to have.
We encountered our first snowfield on the side of Point 11,762. The trail was completely covered in snow. While it could be crossed without an ice axe, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so, and I was glad I brought mine. We crossed half of the snowfield and then skirted along the edge until we met back up with the dry trail. At this time, I suppose you could bypass all the snow by bushwhacking around it and over Point 11,762's summit. From there, the trail was dry until La Cal Basin.
La Cal Basin was completely full of snow at/below treeline. We descended into the snowy forest to 11,800', crossed the point where a couple creeks merge, then climbed directly up. Fortunately, it was early enough so the snow was mostly packed; we only postholed a few times.
On the descent to Williams Lake via Wheeler's west slope, there were a few small snowfields, but nothing major. Made a few short glissades.
The crowded Williams Lake Trail was slushy and sloppy. Plastic pink ribbons marked the route, as the trail was buried under snow and mud. The last mile or so was dry.

Fighting For Freedom
January 1945 — Bastogne, Belgium
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction."
~ Ronald Reagan, President of the United States
It was January 1945. My mother, Dad's then sweetheart, wrote that people were not suffering back in the United States during the WWII. Dad's letters written as a 101st Airborne paratrooper have now been preserved in Comes A Soldier's Whisper. He responded to her letter with the following:
"So you don't think the people at home are suffering much? Listen, darling, they don't a damn bit. They've got better jobs than they ever had. They're spending more money than ever. Their homes aren't being shelled or bombed. Yes, it must be terrible for some of them. But the only ones that are hurt back there are the people who have lost their sons and loved ones in this fight for freedom. Hell, most people think we're fighting for someone else. Maybe so, but in order to keep our government and way of life, we too must be in it. Men have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. We cannot let them down now."
May we always remember our soldier's sacrifices made to protect our freedom and way of life.
Remembering history one day at a time...

General Assembly/3C: Statement by Ambassador Wittig on Human Right to Water and Sanitation
(as delivered:)
"Thank you Chair,
I have the honor to introduce Resolution A/C.3/68/L.34, on the human right to water and sanitation. This resolution is a common endeavor by Spain and Germany. We have already held seven open consultations with interested member states. We thank all delegations for their active engagement and their constructive approach so far. We hope that this positive approach will continue and that we will be able to adopt this important resolution by consensus very soon.
Beyond the delegations which are named as initial cosponsors on the L-document, the following delegations have cosponsored the draft resolution: Costa Rica, Croatia, Estonia, Georgia, Greece and Poland.
Mr. President,
Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is essential to living a life in dignity and health. States have overwhelmingly affirmed their commitment to progressively realize the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation for their populations. But looking at the fulfilment of the MDG's, where both access to safe drinking water and sanitation had taken a central place among the commitments, the target on sanitation remains one of the most off-track, as more than 2.5 billion people still do not have access to improved sanitation facilities.
This initiative aims at three specific goals. Let me elaborate on the first goal and then hand over to my colleague, the Ambassador of Spain, to elaborate on the other two goals. So this is a real team effort here today.
First, it is the firm belief of the main sponsors that the human right to water and sanitation entitles everyone, without discrimination, to have access to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic use, and to have physical and affordable access to sanitation, in all spheres of life, that is safe, hygienic, secure and acceptable and that provides privacy and ensures dignity. With regards to sanitation in particular, we wish to underline that acceptability by the user of sanitation solutions is of central importance. Personal sanitation is a highly sensitive issue in many societies and cultures, which need to be addressed adequately. We believe that this definition can guide States in designing and implementing measures to achieve access to water and sanitation for all. Wehope that even more States will join the 111 States who co-sponsored the Human Rights Council resolution containing this definition only last month.
Thank you."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/1/2012 (2038 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For the umpteenth time, Nancy, what in the world is going on in Thompson?
The revolving door on senior jobs continues in Mystery lake School Division, this time taking superintendent Bev Hammond, who lasted barely 16 months before quitting last week. The story first broke in The Thompson Citizen, and you can read my story here.
For those keeping score at home, Mystery Lake School Division has had three superintendents and eight assistant superintendents in the past four years.
R.D. Parker Collegiate has had three principals and nine vice-principals in that time and has had two acting principals after the school board fired principal Ryan Land in a remarkably public process last spring.
Some of the turnover occurred prior to Hammond's being hired, and it certainly didn't slow down during her brief tenure.
Hammond didn't respond to interview requests to her email address and by phone to her office. The division also passed on the interview request to her.
It was left to board chair Alexander Ashton to talk about what happened, not that he had a lot to say.
Ashton said Hammond had resigned on Wednesday effective immediately for unspecified personal and professional reasons.
People who resign for health reasons usually do so immediately, but people who resign for person and professional reasons usually are expected to give notice and work for a reasonable amount of time.
Ashton said that the school trustees had not pushed Hammond and that the decision was entirely hers, and unexpected, though that's when it gets a little murky.
"The resignation was on good terms for both parties," Ashton said Thursday.
"There were discussions -- ultimately, it was Bev's decision."
Discussions? About what? He wouldn't say.
"Expected? Not really," he said, refusing to divulge further details.
Ashton refused to say if Mystery Lake gave Hammond any severance pay or any kind of financial settlement.
Um, why won't you say? If someone quits on the spot, leaves and has nothing financial coming, why not say so? And if there was some payment under these circumstances, the money comes from Thompson taxpayers and the people of Manitoba who fund public education, and they'd kind of like to know how much this cost them and why.
Maybe people in Thompson will ask the school board for answers. Good luck with that.
As my story spells out, Hammond was at the centre of Land's firing. His grievances will be heard later this year.
Which leads us to more stuff that will again seem a little strange.
Remember that bizarre job posting for the principal's job at R.D. Parker Collegiate about which I wrote in December?
That's the job posting that said Mystery Lake doesn't want liars in the job, doesn't want applicants who will misrepresent themselves or the division, but does want applicants who will be team players but also stand alone in defending the high school against outside force, and who will monitor the staff and the staff's interactions with the students. The liars part, the job posting sought applicants who would not just tell the truth but specifically "the actual truth."
Ashton told me Thursday that Hammond didn't write that job posting, that the division wrote it based on community suggestions. And the school board signed off on that bizarre wording?
Mystery Lake is no longer seeking a principal, said Ashton, who said that acting principal Wally Itson has the job permanently, though Ashton couldn't remember when the school board had made that decision.
But later Thursday, Ashton emailed to correct a "detail," saying Itson doesn't have the job permanently, he has a term position until June, though the trustees hope he'll stay on beyond June.
Pause while that all sinks in.
This isn't the metro Toronto school board, with hundreds of schools and tens of thousands of employees, this is Thompson and its one high school, the high school and principal's job that have been at the heart of a firestorm the last couple of years. How can a school board chair not know if the one principal of the one high school is permanent or term contract?
Ashton also told me that the division won't be looking anytime soon to replace Hammond. Instead, assistant superintendents Angel Bartlette and Lorie Henderson will share her duties.
In yet another follow-up email, Ashton said that, "Also if you will comment on turnover and such. All I can offer on that topic is that the obvious solution would be to promote from within the community."
Are the Mystery Lake trustees promoting from within the community because, given the astounding track record, it's proving exceptionally difficult to find qualified applicants willing to move to Thompson?
Nancy, what in the world is going on in Thompson?

One Ocean
Yeosu, South Korea
The Thematic Pavilion is situated along a new promenade
in a former industrial harbor that will be transformed into an
"urban beach" offering leisure activities to the public after the
Expo and the aspired improvement of water quality.
The main design intent was to embody the Expo's theme "The Living Ocean and Coast" and transform it into a multi-layered architectural experience. The Expo's agenda, the responsible use of natural resources, is not visually represented, but embedded into the building through the sustainable climate design or the biomimetic approach of the kinetic facade.
We experience the Ocean mainly in two ways, as an endless surface and in an immersed perspective as depth. This plain/profound duality of the Ocean motivates the building's spatial and organizational concept. Continuous surfaces twist from vertical to horizontal orientation and define all significant interior spaces./soma
Continuous transitions between contrasting experiences also form
the outer appearance of the Pavilion. As a counterpart to the
virtual multi-media shows of the thematic exhibition taking place
in its interior spaces, the kinetic facade, like the building as a
whole, emphasizes the manifold potentials of analogue architectural
The architectural effect is a smoothly moving facade that is
seamlessly integrated into the overall continuous skin of the
pavilion. The facade consists of 108 kinetic lamellas that are
supported at the top and the bottom edge.
Towards the sea the conglomeration of solid vertical cones define a new meandering coast line, a soft edge that is in constant negotiation between water and land.
The main entrance is situated on Ocean Plaza, which is partly
covered by the pavilion to achieve a shaded outdoor waiting
The space boundaries of the open foyer are defined by the
twisting surfaces of the cones. The interstitial spaces between
them frame the view onto the Ocean and create niches for the
visitors to take a pause from the exhibition. Stairs or lifts lead
to the roof-landscape, the third exhibition area, with a 360-degree
view over the Expo site.
Beside their function to control light conditions the moving
lamellas create animated patterns on the facade. The choreography
will span from subtle local movements to overall waves effecting
the whole length of the building. The architectural intention was
to produce a choreography and imagery out of the building's own
layers, without displaying any further media "content."
During daytime the kinetic lamellas are used to control solar input. They will be operated by energy gained through solar panels on the roof. The building's performance was analyzed in detailed simulations to reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency.

My biggest problem with the pronoun system is the possessive forms. It makes no sense to me to have such granularity in subject/object pronouns and then have only a basic European system for the possessives. You'd expect a way of forming a possessive from any object pronoun, even if this isn't the most commonly-used form.

The Crap We Missed – Friday 9.6.13
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed or the words below Ireland Baldwin's butt. And since I'm now speaking exclusively to the FBI and/or Chris Hansen, I'd like to take a moment to express my dear appreciation for law enforcement of any kind, including defenseless obese security guards who aren't even really security guards. Oh, I'm free to go? Phew. *walks outside, gets tackled by Constable dressed like a bush* While I explain the shovel and plastic sheeting in my trunk, enjoy Sean Connery at the U.S. Open (Just a hint here, but adding 'sh' to the end of the work 'cock' in some way is going to exponentially increase your chances for MIP consideration.), Justin Timberlake's fashion giving us a justifiable reason to hate him other than his music, movies, face, voice, getting to see Jessica Biel shower, ect., and Alyson Hannigan not understanding why this homeless person doesn't just get a job. Seriously, how hard is it? She worked part-time through high school and college and got hired immediately by her dad's friend who is an executive somewhere. Why don't all of these historically subjugated and poverty-stricken people just do that?
Wait, Flute Vagina actually gave him money before that pic and isn't your moron in-law on Facebook? Awkward,

It's a foggy start to Good Friday.
The City of Winnipeg began the day filled with what Environment Canada calls "ice fog" across the city. The fog is expected to dissipate later in the morning and the sun should come out in the afternoon. The forecast high is 2 C.
It will drop down to -6 C overnight and reach 1 C on Saturday with a mix of sun and cloud forecast.
Then it's back to the minus temperatures with Environment Canada only calling for a high of -7 C on Easter Sunday and -5 C on Monday.
At least it will be sunny both days.

I'm using a Twitter plugin on a WordPress site. I need to change the title (Twitter: name) to a background image and style a shaded margin around each twitter item - so there is a grey bordered frame with each tweet in a white square inside and a header graphic at the top. Since I have no control over the HTML I'm having trouble writing the CSS selectors that will make these changes. This is the markup of the plugin from view source of the page:

Twitter: name

first twitter post

second twitter post

I've tried adding a background image to all the various classes before the name but none of them work. The same with the grey margin.
The problem with trying to style stuff in WordPress plugins is it's hard to tell which selector you need to override the plugin CSS and what else is in the cascade that you can't see that's preventing it from working.
The dev tools in your browser (like Firebug or Chrome's inspector) shows you what rules apply to each item. If all else fails, you can use !important to override everything else, but that's a last resort.
Do you mean you want to add a background image to the title? Your wording isn't cear, as it makes it sound like you want to remove the text and use a bg image instead, which isn't a good idea anyway.
I'm sure we can help you get this working, but a bit more info is needed, and preferably a link.
Yes I want to replace the h3 text with a background image (and add a shaded border). I have a feeling that the answer is a combination of selectors from the all the tags that lead up to the text title. That's where I run into trouble with CSS - when the answer is not just one class but a string of parent and child classes. I've tried !important on individual class names but that didn't work.
Maybe try something like
aside .widget-title {
text-align: -9999px;
background: url(image.png) no-repeat 0 0;
border: rgba(x,x,x, 0.4);
width: Xpx;
height: Ypx;
Not sure what you mean by shaded border, so you may ned CSS3 box-shadow or something. I gave the h3 a width and height to match the bg image.
It would be better to use an inline image rather than a bg image, though. An h3 is not exactly decoration. Are you doing this because you want a different font? If so, consider web fonts instead of images.
I tried that but no luck. I've uploaded a jpg here. On the right sidebar is the twitter feed. As you can see it's picked up the font styles but all of the feeds run together. My designer has designed the twitter portion of the sidebar with a header graphic and a grey border around each separate li feed. So I planned to just do this:
.aside .widget-title{
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 235px;
margin:0 0 30px 0;
.twitterwidget-title li {
width: 235px;
But whatever I try CSS wise has no effect. Even with !important which should work. As I said at the top the problem is its a WordPress twitter feed plugin - so "aside" and "h3" etc. are all in the plugin's code - I can't change that (or it will be overwritten next time there is a plugin update). That's the problem with WordPress plugins - you can't change the HTML, you can only work with it.
Hope that helps. Thanks for your time.
I'm sure there's a solution, but unless we can see this live, we can only make rough guesses.
OK here's the staging site. http://sawebdev.ca/wordpress/ Thanks.Charles
Remove the dot before aside as its a type selector not a class.
aside .widget-title{
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 235px;
margin:0 0 30px 0;
I can't see a "twitterwidget-title" class in the html either so use the twiiter-4 id to target the list elements (assuming the id doesn't change daily).
#twitter-4 li {
width: 235px;
margin:0 0 10px ;
I tested on your live site with CSS terminal and the changes are applied as expected so will work as long as you put them last in the cascade.
Thanks. Almost exactly what I need. Only problem now is that the title graphic is appearing over all 3 sidebar h3 titles. I tried adding this - aside #twitter-4 .widget-title - or this - aside .widget widget_twitter .widget-title - but they both just removed the graphic entirely.
Thanks also for the CSS terminal link!
Use the id instead the the aside element
#twitter-4 .widget-title{
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 235px;
margin:0 0 30px 0;
Brilliant! Thanks so much.

New Public Policy Polling surveys in 7 Congressional Districts across the country find that key Republicans could be in trouble if the House doesn't pass immigration reform this year.
The polls show two things:
- Republican and Independent voters want Congress to pass a solution to our country's broken immigration system
- Many are less likely to support Republicans if the House fails to pass immigration reform this summer
Voters in CA-10 (Jeff Denham), CA-21 (David Valadao), CA-31 (Gary Miller), CO-6 (Mike Coffman), MN-2 (John Kline), NV-3 (Joe Heck), and NY-11 (Mike Grimm) all say they would be less likely to vote for their Congressman next year if he opposes immigration reform. Voters in those districts also say they will be inclined to punish the Republican Party more broadly if the House GOP does not allow immigration reform to move forward.
The reason voters would hold it against their officials if immigration reform does not pass is that there's overwhelming support for it in each of these highly competitive districts. Anywhere from 61 to 69% support the proposal the Senate passed last month. There's also a sense of urgency on the issue with 75 to 78% of voters in each district saying they think it's important the US fix its immigration system this year.
Here are District by District breakdowns for these polls:

ECM editorial writer
The popularity of professional sports, particularly football, ran rough shod over political forces that tried to stop building a third stadium in Minnesota.
The $975 million stadium bill signed into law by Gov. Mark Dayton proved once again that the politics and power of sports reign.
This power play by business leaders, strong-arm politics and leadership by Gov. Dayton, show that you cannot underestimate people's love of sports on any level.
Imagine in fewer than 10 years, this state, known for its conservative ways, has built or approved spending for three new stadiums: Target Field in the Minneapolis Warehouse District, TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota and the Vikings Stadium at the Metrodome site in Minneapolis.
This from a Legislature facing a budget deficit next year of $1.1 billion dollars and owing over $2 billion to the schools – money withheld from the school districts to balance this year's budget.
In a year when the Legislature and governor were snarling at one another, the stadium bill managed to bring Republicans and Democrats together with the governor to approve what seemed to be the impossible.
In the final tally from both Houses, 59 Democrats and 48 Republicans voted yes and 29 Democrats and 61 Republicans voted no.
Professional football has a hold on Minnesota and the country. It's the biggest television draw and the Super Bowl draws record numbers of viewers. Football stars are national celebrities.
Pride played a role in the stadium-building decision.
A football team gives the state an identity, like no other, even more than the state that is the home of 19 Fortune 500 companies.
Loyalty to the team was at play in the decision. More than anything, the Vikings are Minnesota's team.
They sell out just about every game, and they are the talk of the town around the water coolers.
Everyone is a fan and an expert. They have opinions on all aspects of the game. They love the strategy, the different plays and they like to second-guess every one of them.
Some will say fans like the violence and seeing big linemen smash quarterbacks, with or without a bounty.
The economics of having an NFL franchise in Minnesota had something to do with getting the bill passed, even though studies suggest that the Vikings don't produce a lot of extra money for Main Street.
Let's face it. Sunday afternoons and the Vikings are a part of Minnesota. We couldn't give them up, even if we can't afford the new stadium and the price of a ticket.

The first incident happened at a home on Braeswood Boulevard as the family was on vacation.
The family's surveillance camera was rolling around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 16th when a Cadillac pulled up. Two young men are seen exiting the vehicle. They hop over a driveway gate, ignoring the camera capturing their every move.
One man is wearing a grey hat, red sweater and dark pants. The other guy is wearing a dark blue Adidas track suit.
"Basically kicked this window in, so they were able to get in the house through our play room," one victim said.
The victims asked to remain anonymous. They told KPRC Local 2 the men were in and out in under 10 minutes.
According to the victims, the men left with more than $20,000 worth of jewelry.
Neighbors said they think the area is becoming a hot spot for break-ins in broad day light.
One woman in the area said her home was almost burglarized by two men within the last week. Fortunately, she said she was home when the men tried to break in.
"I saw a man's head in the window, my back French door window, and I turned to him and I said, 'You get out of here now. I'm calling the cops,' and there were two accomplices and they took off," the woman said.
"It seems like they are really targeting neighborhoods now and we have small children in this neighborhood. And it's just not safe and they are very bold to do that at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Sunday," the first victim said.
According to one of the victims, police caught one of the suspects.
If you have any information to pass along to police about suspicious activity in the Braes Heights area, call the Houston police.

ANOTHER giant window estimated to be worth thousands of pounds has been smashed at Colchester's Firstsite gallery.
The 12ft tall window, next to the main entrance, is thought to have been smashed deliberately with a stone and police are investigating.
A Firstsite spokesman said the exact value of the window was unknown and an insurance claim had been made.
Last October a £70 stud designed to stop skateboarders was used to smash another slightly bigger window, worth £10,000, at the gallery entrance.
More than 140 studs were installed to deter skateboarders from damaging street furniture at the facility but one was unscrewed to carry out the crime.
An Essex Police spokesman said it was appealing for witnesses to the latest incident that happened on the evening of Thursday August 7.
Anyone with information should contact Colchester Police on 101.

1) It is beyond stupid to think this team was going to stink it up all season. I don't think they are where they need to be, and they still need to get more from the guys who play on the second line, or who are supposed to play on the second line. They will be better defensively. Their goalie will eventually steal some games. Their record, when all is said and done, might look nothing like last season's record. But in a 48-game season, you just need to be in the top eight. They will be, handily.
2) You know what struck me as funny? When a team struggles defensively, you hear about how the forwards aren't coming back to help the defensemen. But when it struggles offensively, you don't usually hear about the D-men not helping the forwards up ice. And the Rangers' struggling offense really has had very little help from the D so far, until that tying goal. And honestly, the Rangers' top three D-men haven't been great in their own end, either, until the last two periods last night.
4) Marc Staal had a brain-cramp, or just was guilty of bad awareness, on the second Leaves goal. But from that point on, the guy was a monster. Easily his best game of the season.
5) You could say the same for a number of guys, including Brad Richards, Brian Boyle (7 hits, 12-8 on draws), even Ryan Callahan (after the early dumb penalty) and Carl Hagelin.
6) This was adversity, even though it was just the Leaves. Because the Rangers had their best start of the season and were down 2-0 because of lousy goals allowed by, first, the Dan Girardi-Ryan McDonagh pair, and then by Staal. Girardi looks like he's too committed to blocking every shot and pass, and spending way too much time on the ice and not nearly enough on his skates. He was like that a couple of years ago. Last year, when he still blocked a ton of shots, he knew when to stay on his skates and he became an all-star. Just an observation.
7) The power play, which took the collar again, still looked better with Richards off the point. Again, he played well, won someimportant draws (though lost 14 of 26), etc. But he hasn't looked good on that point.
8) Boy, it seemed last year when guys fought (Brandon Prust) the Rangers responded positively. This year, it seems, the opponent has responded and the Rangers have not after every fight. So how about this? Cut it out. Fighting for fighting's sake. Idiotic. Plus, if you're scoring at home, the Rangers haven't won many.
9) I didn't mind Benn Ferriero at all. I don't know where he plays, or if he plays, when Jason Arnott arrives and Chris Kreider heals. But the kid looked fine.
10) They say you kill good penalties and never kill the bad ones, and that too-many-men penalty was a really bad one.
11) If you want to hang your hat on something, check out how many of the NHL's better teams are struggling.
12) The Rangers still lost some battles they would have won last season.
13) Wait, did I not even mention Marian Gaborik yet? How good has he been? Where are those people who had his name and "compliance buyout" in the same sentence before the season started?
14) Michael Del Zotto — on ice for all four Rangers goals until the empty-netter.
15) Wait, did I also not mention the goalkeeper? Henrik Lundqvist didn't have to steal this one, but he was pretty solid, too.
My Three Rangers Stars:
1. Marc Staal.
2. Marian Gaborik.
3. Rick Nash.
John Milewski's Rangers Stars:
1. Marian Gaborik — flying all night.
2. Michael Del Zotto — finding ways to join the rush and (surprise) hitting the net with his shots!
3. Rick Nash — big boy was a big presence and created space for Gabby.
Honorable Mention: Marc Staal — big recovery after a slow start.
Your poll vote for the Three Rangers Stars:
1. Marian Gaborik (28.14 %).
2. Rick Nash (19.01 %).
3. Marc Staal (17.87 %).

"Gay Caveman" found, claim archaeologists in a report in Daily Telegraph 6 April 2011 and Yahoo!7 News 7 April 2011. Archaeologists in the Czech Republic have excavated the grave of a man who was laid on his left side with his head facing west. The grave also contained household jugs, including an oval shaped jug near his feet, but no weapons. The grave is dated as between 2900 and 2500 BC and the archaeologists claim that in the culture of this time and location men were buried on their right side, with their heads facing east, and had weapons, flint knives and hammers placed in their graves. Women were buried on their left side, accompanied with jewellery and household items.
Kamila Remisova Vesinova, who led the research, explained: "From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake. Far more likely is that he was a man with a different sexual orientation, homosexual or transvestite. What we see here does not add up to traditional Corded Ware cultural norms." Another researcher claimed that although Siberian shamans (witch doctors) have been found buried on their left side and female warriors on their right, "This later discovery was neither of those. We believe this is one of the earliest cases of what could be described as a transvestite or third-gender grave in the Czech Republic."
Since this report came out other anthropologists and archaeologists have been highly critical of the claims, according to a report in CNN 11 April 2011. John Hawks, of University of Wisconsin-Madison wrote in his blog: "Dudes! I could be wrong, but I think that to have a 'gay caveman', you need a skeleton that is both gay and a caveman. And this ain't either". Hawks pointed out you cannot tell anyone's sexual orientation from a skeleton, and cavemen are supposed to have lived between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago. The Czech skeleton is dated much younger and should be classified as Neolithic. Kristina Killgrove of University of North Carolina commented that using the term "gay" to describe the man is "the application of a modern word to an ancient population".
Editorial Comment: Hawks is correct – as this man has been dead for thousands of years there is no way of knowing his sexual behaviour just from his bones. Killgrove is also correct – but we will go further. This case has all the hallmarks of modern Europeans who are obsessed with getting homosexuality accepted by a traditionally heterosexual society, setting out to impose their value system on an unrelated ancient society regardless of the facts. Everyone has noticed that for decades academics and the popular media have mounted a campaign promoting homosexuality as a normal aspect of human biology and behaviour. However, the Creator of human beings says otherwise. He made them for the union of marriage between one male and one female for life. (See Genesis 1-3 and Matthew 19:1¬7.)

Online shopping and renting out spare capacity in flats and cars appeared to be the investment themes in Europe in January, with consumer-facing internet companies once again getting the majority of the money and attention.
Berlin was the fundraising hot-spot with at least four start-ups raising money, from $50m for SoundCloud to a more modest $1.4m for Gidsy.
This is the first of a series of monthly updates on the early-stage technology companies raising money in Europe.

MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's golf team kicked off the 2011-12 championship portion of their schedule with a fourth-place finish, posting a 28-over-588 on Tuesday at the Titan Winter Invitational hosted by Brevard Community College and held at the Sun Tree Country Club.
The tournament's final round saw junior Justin Foster race to the top of the team leaderboard as he finished with an even-par-72 and posted a three-day 73-73-72—218 to finish fourth individually. Sophomore Chaz Heintz's 2-over-74 had him second on the team with a 73-74-74—221.
Junior Nick Brothers dropped to third on the team after a final-round 80 as he finished 73-70-80—223.
The final counting card for the Lions came from junior Ronnie Carlson, who posted a consistent 76-76-78—230. Rounding out the Lions' lineup is sophomore Terry O'Reilly who posted a 52-hole 80-79-80—239.
The Lions finished behind Webber International, who jumped into third, and second-place Florida Tech as well as tournament champion, and host Brevard Community College.
The Lions will now prepare for the second tournament of 2012 when they travel to Lake Wales, Fla. and compete in the Webber Invitational on February 19 and 20. For the latest news, information, and updates on Lions' Golf and all other Saint Leo Athletics, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Recommended. Volkswagen has raised the stakes with the mk6 Golf. Excellent composure, classy refinement and superior quality make it one of the best cars in this sector. Read our Volkswagen Golf review to find out more.
At first glance it may be tricky to tell the difference between this new Golf and the mk5. It's the same size car as the old model, so there's no extra legroom or space in the boot, but then this was never an issue in the previous car anyway.The facelift has given the Golf much sharper looks, however, as it takes on some of the design features of the Scirocco. Inside, the Golf profits from an updated dashboard and additional soft-touch materials around the cabin, and although there are few noticeable changes, the build quality is excellent.Volkswagen has gone to extraordinary lengths to improve the Golf's soundproofing by fitting an additional layer in the windscreen and ultra aerodynamic wing mirrors to ensure the mk6 is quieter than ever. And it's perceptible too. The level of refinement is such that the Golf feels like a much larger car and without doubt it deserves a place towards the premium end of its class.The Golf is an easy car to drive, and feels composed and solid on the road. Bumps are handled without a song and a dance, and the car's handling is proficient - the chassis has remained for the most part unchanged from the mk5 Golf. There is a good choice of decent engines on offer, from the entry-level 1.4-litre 4 cylinder petrol unit, up to the 2.0-litre TDI 140. The pick of the range is the 1.4 TSI petrol engine - both turbocharged and supercharged - available in 122 and 160bhp variants. Both feel responsive and also brisk; the 122bhp version offers only slightly less performance than the TDI 140, and both 1.4 engines will return an impressive 45mpg.The only downside to the Golf is the price you must pay for that refinement and quality, and certainly if you're looking for mid-spec equipment levels together with one of the higher powered TSI or TDI engines, the premium can get quite steep. That said, CO2 is less than 150g/km on most models (except the 1.6-litre petrol) so running costs should be pretty respectable.The Golf has always set the benchmark for quality and refinement and, just as other marques have got closer, Volkswagen seems to have moved the goalposts once more. The Golf isn't the most dynamic car in its class, but the effortlessness of driving, and its ability to clock up mileage whilst providing the sort of comfort and refinement of a car in a higher class, makes it a very easy car to recommend.

medicine > Prospective Medical Students > Curriculum Overview
Philosophy and Goals of the Curriculum
The primary goal of our medical school is to provide you with the educational experiences and opportunities that will allow you to develop an outstanding foundation that will serve you well no matter what specialty and career path that you follow. In addition, we hope that our students will achieve the following outcomes:
• Excellent performance on USMLE exams
• Success in matching into competitive residency programs across the country
• Excellent personal health and well-being
• A passion for some area of medicine or an area related to medicine
We have an excellent track record in each of the above areas and our curriculum continues to evolve as we continue to strive to improve. The basic science curriculum described later in this document provides excellent preparation for the USMLE Step 1 examination and our students consistently perform above the national average on this exam. Our clinical training provides outstanding preparation for residency and our students match each year at some of the strongest, most competitive programs in the country.
In addition to our academic outcomes, we are very concerned about our students' health and well-being. The reality is that across the US, for too many students, medical school can be a stressful and dispiriting experience. We feel that medical school does not have to be that way. Over the last several years, we have made a number of changes to the curriculum that are consistent with our Jesuit mission of educating the whole person - mind, body, heart, and spirit, and that are designed to reduce stress and to promote good mental health among our students.
• Changed from a tiered grading system to pass/ fail grading in the first two years
• Instituted longitudinal electives that span the first two years with on average one full day every two weeks set aside for electives.
• Developed learning communities in Service and Advocacy, Research, Global Health, Wellness, and Medical Education.
• Instituted a required resilience and mindfulness curriculum for first year students
• Expanded extra-curricular events to promote wellness
These curricular changes have resulted in substantially improved mental health of our students. Our goal, however, is not just to reduce stress and prevent anxiety and depression, rather, we hope to see that all of our students flourish. We believe that to flourish, students need to feel positive, feel engaged, and find some measure of meaning in their work. Avenues for students to find meaning and engagement include electives, learning communities, student interest groups, and volunteering. Examples of activities that students have been engaged in include:
• Developed and delivered health information classes to new immigrants at the International Institute of St. Louis
• Provided basic medical care to underserved in a the student-run Health Resource Center clinic
• Taught high school biology at Clyde C. Miller High School
• Tutored middle-schoolers through the Urban Futures Program
• Developed new electives in global health, child development, and caring for patients with cancer.
• 70 first-year students participated last year in research experiences with our basic science and clinical faculty.
Many of these activities have been student-led and student-directed and it's exciting to see the collective creative potential of our students increasingly be realized.
We're very proud of our curriculum, our educational culture, our students and their accomplishments.

NLRB positioned to move full steam aheadComments Email Print
The most interesting nomination is that of Richard Griffin, Jr. as prospective General Counsel. For those who do not follow the NLRB's chicanery, Griffin, the Operating Engineers General Counsel, was a recess appointment that is the subject of the Noel Canning case to be heard next term at the Supreme Court. (As a reminder, several Circuit courts previously found the Senate was not technically in recess during the time of some of the appointments. Consequently, they ruled that the two NLRB appointments and other related appoints were invalid.) Recently, the Democrats and Republicans agreed to a compromise that permitted the full staffing of the NLRB, as well as the approval of Richard Cordray as Consumer Protection czar.
Now at full strength, the NLRB will likely restart its reversal of the Bush and, even, Reagan-era decisions that have troubled labor for many years. What can be expected?
The next several years could be quite interesting for employers. The Obama administration has now put in place an activist NLRB and an equally activist General Counsel, both of which are quite willing to challenge the old norms. However, it is difficult to know, at this point, whether the NLRB or its policies and rulings will resonate in an ever-changing economic picture.
Clearly, the Union "movement" is on life support. That does not mean, however, that employers can be less vigilant. The uneven nature of the recovery makes for fertile ground for union organizers and social activism. Consequently, the watchword for all employers for the next several years is VIGILANCE in hiring, retention and treatment of employees.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [SL] June 11, 2010 TPWD Will Hold Public Meeting on Prospective List of Exotic Aquatic Plants AUSTIN - Many aquaria and landscape enthusiasts and lovers of aquatic wildlife appreciate both the beauty and functionality of aquatic plants, but the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department wants to ensure the introduction of non-native plants will not harm the state's natural resources. In an effort to allow businesses to sell and residents to use some non-native plants while adhering to its mission of wildlife protection and conservation, TPWD will hold a public meeting to gather input regarding which exotic aquatic plants to consider for sale and use in Texas. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 29, in the Commissioner's Hearing Room at TPWD headquarters, 4200 Smith School Road. The Texas Legislature has directed TPWD to create a list of approved exotic aquatic plants that must be finalized by the end of the year. The use of a list of approved plant species is a departure from the department's present use of a list of prohibited species to restrict the importation and sale of certain non-native plants. Presently, possession of some non-native plants is prohibited while the possession of other non-native species is allowed with a permit. This system requires the department to continually monitor and update the prohibited list as new species are brought into Texas. Ken Kurzawski, inland fisheries program manager, said several varieties of invasive plants enter Texas through the plant industry, a situation that necessitates cooperation between the plant sellers and TPWD. "We need the public's input to determine which exotic aquatic plants are being bought and sold in Texas," Kurzawski said. "If we don't know about (a specific plant), we can't evaluate it for possible inclusion on the approved list." Each species considered for the approved list must pass a scientific risk analysis before it will be added to the list to ensure that it does not have the potential to negatively impact the state's aquatic resources. A draft of the list of proposed exotic aquatic plants under consideration for approval for possession and sale in Texas can be found at http://tpwd.texas.gov/business/feedback/public_comment/proposals/exotic_aquatic_plants/. For more information, contact Earl Chilton at (512) 389-4652; email@example.com, or Ken Kurzawski at (512) 389-4591; firstname.lastname@example.com -30-

Houston -- A Tuesday report by NPD Group found that total consumer traffic through convenience stores was down 2.1% in the third quarter, compared with the same period last year.
NPD's convenience store market research reports that the traffic decline this quarter was largely driven by lower purchase frequency (5.9 visits per 30 days), but was also influenced by a slight decline in the overall reach of the channel (only 50.2% of consumers aged 16+).
The decline in third quarter visits was typically more severe among major oil company-branded c-store chains (especially those more overly dependent upon gasoline), while small independent chains did slightly better, according to NPD's Convenience Store Monitor, which continually tracks the consumer purchasing behavior of more than 51,000 convenience store shoppers in the U.S. The average check in the third quarter increased 2.5%. This increase did not appear to be driven by more items in the basket, and was likely due to a combination of higher prices, larger sizes, or changes in mix such as continued shift to higher ticket categories.
"The third quarter weakness in c-store traffic compared to year ago can likely be attributed to rising gasoline prices in the quarter and ongoing pressures from competitive channels such as grocery, drug, dollar and mass that are encroaching on the convenience shopping occasion," said David Portalatin, executive director of industry analysis for NPD's convenience store research.

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 3.27.13
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed that on account of that lead pic has me 100% positive there's no male reading these words. With that in mind, ladies, I still think there's plenty in here to entertain you as well. For example, you know how you hate Phoebe Price for just being Phoebe Price? Yeah, keep doing that, but now add in because she poses in front of people possibly dying in car crashes. Then take a lesson from Kimberly Snyder and don't bang David Spade, who clearly indicated to her how many days he's into his most recent outbreak. Finally, learn the Flying Assclap Of Death from Coco, so your man stops checking out every ass in his peripherals.
He won't, but seriously, would it kill you to try something new? (Disclaimer: It might literally kill you to try this),

"My family enjoyed these. I made them smaller (used a 3 Tbsp scoop) so they baked up in about 20 minutes. I used half ground pork, half turkey.
