ABSTRACT: Opioid analgesics are used routinely in managing acute musculoskeletal pain. However, physicians often hesitate to use them for chronic pain, such as that seen in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and low back pain. Opioid analgesics are not firstline therapy for chronic pain; they should be used with other medications, such as nonopioid analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, topical preparations, and sleeping pills. A comprehensive patient assessment and an addiction history are essential. Consultation with a specialist in pain management often is helpful.
In many cases, the use of opioid analgesics for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain is a legitimate treatment approach, and it is gaining acceptance in the medical community. Although some reports question the efficacy of long-term use of opioid analgesics in improving function,1 several randomized controlled trials of these agents showed at least a 30% reduction in pain.2 Although these medications are effective, physicians tend to underuse them because they lack knowledge about them and about addiction. They also fear regulatory scrutiny.
In part 2 of this 2-part article, I discuss how to assess patients who have chronic pain, determine the safety and appropriateness of treating them with opioid analgesics, and monitor them on a regular basis. In part 1 ("Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: Rational Use of Opioid Analgesics, Part 1 "), I reviewed the properties and adverse effects of opioid analgesics and described the differences between physical dependency and addiction.
Opioid analgesics are not firstline therapy for chronic pain and are not recommended as the only treatment. They should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that involves other medications and other modalities. Other medications to consider may include the following:
|Nonopioid analgesics, such as acetaminophen.
|Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs.
|Muscle relaxants.
|Antidepressants (because patients with chronic pain often are depressed). (Low-dose tricyclic agents may have some utility in managing some chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia syndrome [FMS] and neuropathic pain.) The dual selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs) duloxetine (Cymbalta) and milnacipran (Savella) also alleviate neuropathic pain; both are now FDA-approved for FMS.
|Anticonvulsants for neuropathic pain, including gabapentin (Neurontin), pregabalin (Lyrica), and divalproex sodium (Depakote).
|Topical preparations (eg, a lidocaine patch).
|Drugs that are used to counteract residual opioid sedation, including modafinil (Provigil) and methylphenidate (Ritalin).
|Sleeping pills (because patients who have chronic pain often have insomnia).
Optimal management of chronic pain involves a team effort. In addition to the primary care physician, possible team members include a rheumatologist, orthopedic surgeon, physiatrist, physical therapist, anesthesiologist, pain specialist (who can perform invasive procedures, such as epidural corticosteroid injections or nerve ablation, or insert a spinal cord stimulator or intrathecal pump), biofeedback specialist, hypnotist, acupuncturist, neurologist, neurosurgeon, addictionist, and psychologist. Psychotherapy, especially that involving cognitive-behavioral and spiritual therapies, may help some patients by teaching them how to be more accepting of their condition.
Before a patient starts taking opioid analgesics for chronic pain, a comprehensive assessment is indicated. The first step is to assess the goal of treatment—is it to make a diagnosis of pain and eliminate it by removing the source or to allow the patient to live more comfortably with the pain?
Next, has the patient had a workup to determine the cause of the pain and the treatment options? For example, a patient with severe hip pain resulting from osteoarthritis might be best served by undergoing a hip replacement, which might result in no pain and improved function. Of course, this requires obtaining an adequate history of the pain problem, its onset and cause, and what treatments and medications have been used. If the pain problem is not new, obtaining old records from other treating physicians (including imaging studies, procedures, and consultations) is important.
A detailed description of the pain may help direct treatment. For example, neuropathic pain—pain related to direct nerve damage or injury—may benefit from treatment with anticonvulsants or the SSNRI antidepressants duloxetine and milnacipran that alleviate both depression and some types of neuropathic pain. Examples of this type of pain are peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy (now called chronic regional pain syndrome).
Note that musculoskeletal pain, such as low back pain, often has a neuropathic component (eg, sciatica). Therefore, a trial of an anticonvulsant or an SSNRI (eg, venlafaxine [Effexor] or duloxetine) may be worthwhile.
Taking an addiction history is essential to determine the appropriateness of considering opioid therapy. This history should include questions about the patient's present and past use of alcohol, cigarettes, or illegal drugs, as well as any family history of addiction problems. Administration of the Opioid Risk Tool3 or Screener and Opioid Assessment for Patients with Pain4 also is helpful. Old medical records should be examined for indications of previous problems with prescribed opioid analgesics. A physical examination in which particular attention is paid to the painful areas is needed to obtain additional information about the pain problem.
If the patient has not seen a physiatrist or an anesthesiologist who specializes in pain management, such a consultation may be extremely helpful. Both specialists can evaluate the role of local injections, physical therapy, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation units, and other physical modalities in relieving pain. The physiatrist may recommend an assistive device, such as a wheelchair or braces. The anesthesiologist might consider placement of a spinal cord stimulator for some types of pain. If the patient has an addiction history or there are emotional or psychological issues, consultation with an addictionist or psychiatrist can be very informative.

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Ecuador's Congress voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to grant President Rafael Correa a monthlong leave of absence while he campaigns to be the first Ecuadorean leader in more than a century to hold the presidency for more than a single term.
The South American nation limited its presidents to single terms in the 20th century until the charter was changed in 2008 to allow re-election, a move that benefited the populist Correa.
Correa said handing his job over to Vice President Lenin Moreno starting Jan. 15 shows how far he's willing to go to support democracy and avoid abusing his presidential powers ahead of the Feb. 17 vote. "I don't have to do it, but I prefer to avoid any suspicion," Correa told Congress.
His political opponents and analysts consulted by The Associated Press before Wednesday's vote disagreed. They said Correa will still be in charge and able to benefit from all manner of state resources.
Correa's leave of absence "doesn't change a thing," opposition assemblywoman Diana Atamaint said.
"The official publicity will continue. Correa can use state resources and there will be no balance with respect to other political parties," she predicted.
Ecuadorean political scientist Jorge Leon said Correa will still be president, even if his No. 2 is nominally in charge.
"He can use his security forces, transportation and other state resources because he remains in his role, and all the government infrastructure still holds," Leon said. "A leave gives him more freedom of movement, because he can dedicate all his time to being a candidate, show that he can win without being in the presidency and support his political party. This is an advantage."
Correa's leave appears to be unprecedented among world leaders, according to Freedom House, a Washington-based group that promotes democracy and human rights internationally.
"I certainly can't recall off-hand another example of turning over the reins to what amounts to a trusted deputy in order to hit the campaign trail," said Robert Herman, the group's vice president for regional programs.
"Of course, with a rubber-stamp legislature he can do what he pleases and the actions have a patina of legitimacy," Herman said. "There's a context here, which is a steady decline over the last several years of the level of political rights and civil liberties, a shrinking of the space for dissent, and more and more pressure on his political opponents and members of the civil society who have been struggling to hold Correa accountable. People will see it for what it is: an increasingly authoritarian rule by a democratically elected president."
Associated Press writer Michael Warren in Buenos Aires contributed to this report.

Shadow: Collector's Edition, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe knows what malaise lurks in the hearts of the men that watch this movie...
Formerly a ruthless opium-dealing drug lord, Lamont Cranston (Alec Baldwin) is trained to harness his mental powers by a Tibetan holy man named Tulku and returns to New York to atone for his crimes as The Shadow. Cranston's secret identity is in danger when he meets a telepath named Margot Lane (Penelope Ann Miller), whose father, Reinhardt (Ian McKellen), is developing a nuclear weapon for the War Department. Meanwhile, another student of Tulku named Shiwan Khan (John Lone) arrives in New York to challenge Cranston and capture Reinhardt's weapon for an evil and destructive plan.
The Shadow was made in the delightfully confusing period following the surprise mega-hit status of Tim Burton's Batman. Every studio wanted a comic book hit of their very own, but, for whatever reason, none of them wanted to license currently popular superheroes for big budget productions (Captain America and The Punisher got low-budget, STV treatments). Instead, they saved their cash for cult antiheroes ( Judge Dredd, The Mask, Tank Girl, The Crow), original characters that paid heavy homage to established heroes ( The Meteor Man, Darkman), and pulp heroes that predated most established comic book conterparts. The latter category produced three enjoyable, family-friendly action films that were met with varying degrees of box-office failure – Joe Johnston's The Rocketeer (which was technically based on a modern cult comic that paid homage to established characters, I suppose), Simon Wincer's The Phantom, and Russell Mulcahy The Shadow. All three were uniquely '90s movies, but The Shadow is perhaps the most indicative of the decade it was made in, because it includes a number of awkward CG effect augmentations and absolutely refuses to stick to any established tone.
The Shadow was invented by Walter B. Gibson in an era before the traditional superhero aesthetic had fully evolved (thanks in large part to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster). His power set is vaguely defined, his alignment is sort of ambiguous, and his origin story is a bit convoluted. He has all of the ingredients of a character as enduring as Batman; it just took a team like Bob Kane and Bill Finger to simplify him. The reining king of '90s screenwriting mediocrity, David Koepp, attempted to compact the dated complexity of the Shadow's history into a film that would appeal to the short attention spans of mid-'90s audiences. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly), his script, though structurally sound, never succeeds on a simple story level (the one thing he usually gets right), nor does it feature enough oddball deviations to detract from its nebulous tedium ( The Phantom was a lot of things, but it was never dull). Most of Koepp's characters fit the material and have some fun interactions, but the uncommonly great cast is constantly wasted by limited screen time (Ian McKellen, Jonathan Winters, Peter Boyle, and Tim Curry all bring class to thankless roles) or, in Penelope Ann Miller's case, terribly characterized (she seems to exist only because Koepp realized he should probably include a love interest).
The only thing that really holds The Shadow together is director Russell Mulcahy's flashy, '80s music video sensibilities. Mulcahy is high on the list of talented directors that consistently make bad movies. After making a series of popular Duran Duran music videos, he made the outrageously hallucinogenic Australian creature feature Razorback (still his best film) and Highlander, the latter of which grew into an entire franchise of movies and a television series. His post Highlander movies, including its super strange sequel, have been minor achievements at best ( Ricochet is a fun little movie). But even his worst movies tend to have interesting visuals (and a handful of outstanding sequences. The Shadow fits the Mulcahy template, though its successes may have more to do with the efforts of its production, art, and costume designers than its director. Despite Highlander II's bad reputation, it looks to me like it was the movie that actually got Mulcahy the Shadow job. The films share a distinct mix of cartoon coloring and noir shadows and a number of swooping crane shots through barely-disguised back-lot sets. You can also tell it's a Mulcahy film because just about every window or mirror will burst in slow motion at some point. The Shadow is never lacking for ambition – if only it had the urgency and pacing that ambition deserved.
Shout Factory's most recent catalogue releases, specifically those released under their Scream Factory imprint, have used pre-existing HD transfers. In many cases, this has worked out just fine, while in a few others, the recycled transfers were not the ideal fodder for special edition re-releases. For whatever reason, Shout has chosen not to use Universal's Blu-ray transfer this time, opting instead to create their own, apparently remastered transfer. Based on the last two straight-from-Universal discs they released – Cat People and Darkman – which were over-sharpened and smoothed over with excessive DNR (especially in the case of Cat People), I assume this was a good choice. I haven't actually seen The Shadow since I rented it on non-anamorphic DVD several years ago, so I'm not going to be able to directly compare this transfer to any already available versions (German company Koch Media also released a Blu-ray).
On its own merits, Shout's new, 1080p, 1.78:1 (the other two HD discs were 1.85:1) transfer looks a hair soft, but otherwise filmic and relatively natural. Grain levels come and go without a lot of noticeable DNR enhancement. There are more print damage artefacts than I was expecting, but little in the way of compression noise. Details are tight throughout, though the wider-angle images are occasionally muddied and the most textured close-ups occasionally feature sharpening effects. Surprisingly, the unconvincing, early CG actually blend quite well with the 35mm material. The overall print looks a bit darker than expected, but the hard shadows lend themselves to a slightly crushed look. Mulcahy and cinematographer Stephen H. Burum (a Brian DePalma favourite) create a vibrant and stylized palette that recalls other comic book inspired films before digital grading processes, like Dick Tracy and Streets of Fire. Some scenes are practically mono or duochromatic (often blue and red), while others are more chromatically eclectic, at least for a film that strives for a distinctive period look. Dr. Lane's lab and the Chinese restaurant where Cranston and Khan briefly do battle feature the most diverse palettes and the most impressive hue separations. Some of the richer reds are blocky when set against muted hues and the harshest edges feature slight edge haloes.
It may appear that Shout Factory once again has the advantage over previous Blu-rays because it has included both 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio sound options, but The Shadow was an early DTS release (it came out one year after DTS' debut film, Jurassic Park), so the 5.1 track is original theatrical mix. The 2.0 track is seemingly an uncompressed version of the one that accompanied early home video releases. It is a typical early 5.1 mix in that it is full of directional enhancements – ricocheting bullets, expanding explosions, and flying minions – but it's not a particularly immersive track when it comes to layers of sound. Only a brief trip through Chinatown really stands out on an ambient effects level. The dialogue is appropriately centered, aside from the supernaturally-enhanced voices, those echo and slide nicely throughout the stereo and surround channels. Vocal clarity is consistent, aside from some very obvious ADR performances. Jerry Goldsmith's fantastic East meets West musical score is another of the film's saving graces and at times seems wall-to-wall, bellowing through action scenes and flowing under dialogue. The music could perhaps use a slight LFE bump, but there are no vital aural shortcomings.
This collector's edition's one major extra is Looking Back at The Shadow (23:40, HD), a slightly disappointing, retrospective featurette. It's worth celebrating, I suppose, simply because Shout was able to get interviews with so many key players, including Mulcahy, Baldwin, Miller, production designer Joseph Nemec III, cinematographer Stephen H. Burum, and writer David Koepp. The interviews are broad in subject matter, including the character's history, Koepp's career, Mulcahy's style and concepts, casting, photography/lighting, the early CG effects, and production/set design. The only other extras are the theatrical trailer and a photo gallery.
The Shadow is an interesting artefact of its era, but no matter how hard I may try, I am unable to really enjoy it beyond its ambition. Clearly, mine isn't the only opinion in this case and the film has enjoyed a fine cult reputation that earned it this collector's edition release. Shout Factory's new transfer looks and sounds pretty good to me, but I don't have the benefit of being able to compare it to previous releases. I am afraid that fans might find the special features a little disappointing, though, as they boil down to only a single, 23-minute featurette, a trailer, and a photo gallery.
* Note: The above images are taken from the Blu-ray and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

Robin Williams: A special light goes outEDITORIAL
August 12. 2014 9:22PM
Robin Williams was a brilliant entertainer. That is no easy trick in any age, but especially in one like ours that has so many venues, so much noise, so many people clamoring for our attention.
It is easy to apply one's own frame of reference to someone like Williams. He made us laugh, cry and think, and therefore we assume we know the guy and know that since we like his acting, he must be someone we would like in person.
A lot of people are shocked and saddened today by the loss of a man few really knew. Whatever his private troubles and turmoil, Robin Williams gave millions of people many hours of entertainment and escape from their own trials and tribulations, and for that we thank him and mourn his untimely passing.

Installing FAH v7 client in FatDog_521
Subject description: Folding@Home version 7 CPU Client
I used the following steps to install version 7 of the FAH CPU client on Fatdog-521 today. There is no linux version of a GPU client, so I would still recommend using v6 of the Windows GPU client with wine (as detailed in my previous post) ... it will run concurrently with this version 7 CPU client just fine.
Step 1) Installation of FAHControl
FAHControl is used to configure/monitor/control the version 7 CPU client. It can be installed locally, or you can use it from a remote computer. If you want to install it locally on Fatdog-521, then it requires python. I installed the python-2.6.4-amd64.pet (Note that python is also included in fd64-devx_521.sfs, so you may not need the pet file if you always boot with this sfs file loaded.)
Download fahcontrol_7.3.6-1_all.deb from Folding@home website and click on it to install it.
After I had installed python-2.6.4-amd64.pet & fahcontrol_7.3.6-1_all.deb, I had to go into the /usr/shared/pyshared directory and copy/move the two directories (fah & FAHControl-7.3.6.egg-info) to the /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages directory.
I then went into /usr/share/applications and edited FAHControl.desktop to add an appropriate Category so that it would show up in my menu (use terminal command "fixmenus" to update the menu). At this point, you should be able to select FAHControl in your menu and it should open up correctly.
Step 2) Installation of FAHClient
FAHClient (and FAHViewer) requires a newer version of libstdc++ than the one in Fatdog-521 (/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.13). To get a newer version, I downloaded libstdc++6_4.7.2-5_amd64.deb from Repository: Debian Main amd64. I then used the undeb command on this package to unpack it. This unpacking yields the file libstdc++.so.6.0.17 which I copied to /usr/lib64/ and made executeable. I then created symbolic links to this file in /usr/lib64 as indicated here:
chmod +x libstdc++.so.6.0.17
ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.17 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so
ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.17 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
Next, download fahclient_7.3.6_amd64.deb from Folding@home website and click on it to install it.
I disconnected from the web at this point so that I could get the FAHClient configured before it downloaded any WUs. I then edited the file /etc/init.d/FAHClient ... I changed USER=fahclient to USER=root and I changed HOME= to the directory I wanted it to use for the work directory. Save the file and then start the client from the /etc/init.d directory by typing: "./FAHClient start"
The client should start, and you can now configure it using FAHControl (installed in Step 1). Type in your identity and hopefully you will be using Team Puppy Linux (157623). Also set the slider to full if you want to use all your cores for folding. Save the configuration, and you are now ready to start folding. You can just reconnect to the web at this point to grab a WU.
One minor detail ... the config.xml file gets saved in your work directory initially. This seems to work fine, but I noticed that /etc/init.d/FAHClient points to /etc/fahclient/config.xml You could either change the entry in /etc/init.d/FAHClient to point to your work directory, or you could move config.xml to /etc/fahclient
Step 3) Installation of FAHViewer
This is mostly eye candy, so it is not really needed. (Don't think it works with the vesa driver as it probably needs to be run with direct rendering ... works fine on my machine once I configured the intel driver for the onboard graphics).
Download fahviewer_7.3.6_amd64.deb from Folding@home website and click on it to install it.
Then, go into /usr/share/applications and edited FAHViewer.desktop to add an appropriate Category so that it will show up in the menu (use terminal command "fixmenus" to update the menu). At this point, you should be able to select FAHViewer in your menu and it should open up correctly. Normally, this is opened from FAHControl by clicking on "View".
Just a couple of additional comments:
FahMon 126.96.36.199 can be used to view v6 CPU clients and v6 GPU clients ... it can not view the log files of v7 CPU clients.
FAHControl 7.3.6 can be used to monitor v7 CPU clients on linux, but it can not control/view v6 CPU or GPU clients.
With v6 of the CPU client, my machine was using the Gromacs SMP2 core FahCore_a3. With v7 of the CPU client, it uses GB Gromacs core FahCore_a4. With the different cores, you get different Projects assigned.
In my current configuration with FatDog-521, I run the v6 GPU client using wine and monitor it with FahMon. Concurrently, I run the v7 CPU client and control/monitor it with FAHControl.

Blue Jackets blow two-goal cushion in loss to Pens
The Pittsburgh Penguins' motto for the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs is "Buckle Up Baby."
In the third period of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal on Monday, the Penguins went for a wild ride.
And it was one that the playoff-starved fans of the Columbus Blue Jackets wished they had missed.
Pittsburgh scored three unanswered goals, stunning the fourth-largest crowd in Jackets history, to win 4-3 at Nationwide Arena and take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Jackets supporters watched in disbelief as a shot from the blue line by Penguins rookie defenceman Olli Maatta made its way toward the net and was deflected by Jussi Jokinen past goalie Sergei Bobrovsky for the winner at 8:06 of the third. That capped an offensive burst in less than three minutes, a rally that included goals by Lee Stempniak and Brandon Sutter.
Backed by a boisterous crowd of 19,148, the Jackets built an early 2-0 lead on goals by Boone Jenner and Jack Johnson.
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma called a timeout and his team gradually took over, outshooting the Jackets 41-20 by the time the final buzzer sounded.
What role did the Penguins' veteran savvy play, considering they have been in tough spots in the playoffs in previous years?
"It helps," said defenceman Brooks Orpik, whose goal with 1.8 seconds remaining in the second period got the Penguins on the scoreboard.
"When you are younger, you don't think experience really matters that much. I think young legs and young energy is good and definitely helps in certain situations, but the experience card trumps that.
"(The Jackets are) a really good defensive team, really well-coached with Todd (Richards). But any time you see especially a young team get a little bit nervous, it is pretty evident. They start throwing pucks away and start retreating, giving up the neutral zone."
Cam Atkinson scored for Columbus early in the third period when a shot by Brandon Dubinsky went off his body and into the net behind goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, but the Penguins didn't flinch.
As much as Pittsburgh controlled the play, they were aided by six power plays, the first four in the game. The Penguins didn't score as Bobrovsky was excellent, but they were able to carry momentum.
"I'm not going to comment on the officiating (by referees Steve Kozari and Dean Morton) or the calls or the non-calls," Richards said. "It just does me no good, does our team no good."
The Jackets were credited with 65 hits, a number that seemed high, no matter that the Penguins were in control.
"I think shots and goals are what really matter," Orpik said. "(Physical play) wears you down, but if you have the puck, it is tough to hit people. And I thought we had the puck a lot. If they want to win that stat, that's good for them."
The citizens of Columbus had waited long enough for playoff hockey, as it was the first home game in the post-season since April 23, 2009. A pre-game party outside the arena attracted several thousand fans, while a local bar printed "Go Jackets! Crosby is a sissy!!!" on the bottom of its customers' bills. Downtown, one office building's lights have been left on at night to say GO JACKETS, a temporary sign that's several floors high.
The din in the rink grew to a thunderous ovation when the Jackets hit the ice and the building became certifiable when the home team scored twice in a span of one minute, 40 seconds before the game was four minutes old.
Johnson has scored in all three games. In 82 games during the 2013-14 regular season, Johnson had five goals and a quick glance at his career stats showed he had not scored in three consecutive NHL games previously.
Bylsma gathered his troops for a breather at the bench, and Fleury, Sidney Crosby said, gave off a confident vibe.
"Certainly, it was not the start we wanted and not the start we anticipated," Bylsma said. "We needed to reset. For a good 45 minutes, that was our best hockey."
Todd Richards gave his club the silent treatment on Monday night.
"There was no message to the guys after the game," the Columbus Blue Jackets coach said. "I think the emotion was high, the disappointment was there.
"You have to be able to put things behind you. We will have to learn from it. The emotional toll, this is where we have to manage it. I have seen teams lose three games and win series. And right now, that is our second loss."
The Jackets held a 3-1 lead in the third period against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal and lost 4-3. In each game of the series, one team has led 3-1 and that same team has lost 4-3.
"I can't put a finger on what it is," Richards said. "Whether it is an emotional win or a tough loss, you put it behind you and get ready for Game 4."

Palm Beach Atlantic University President William M. B. Fleming, Jr. today announced the establishment of The LeMieux Center for Public Policy, named for former U.S. Senator George LeMieux.
The LeMieux Center will provide students with opportunities to engage with state and national officials, journalists, authors, academics and other notable thought leaders on issues important to Florida, the United States and the world. The LeMieux Center will host an annual interactive lecture series featuring notable speakers on issues of public policy and servant leadership.
"Establishing The LeMieux Center as a center of excellence at Palm Beach Atlantic is an important moment in the University's history," says Palm Beach Atlantic University President William M. B. Fleming, Jr. " As an urban, Christian university, we accept the responsibility to actively engage as citizens on the local, state and national level. Learning more about government, how legislation is crafted and how it affects society is the first step in developing the next generation of servant leaders. Senator LeMieux is a tremendous resource, not only for his own skills and abilities, but for his many friends immersed in public service."
In addition, starting in the fall semester of 2013, an independent study program will be available to two PBA upperclassmen. LeMieux Center Fellows will concentrate their study on a topic of great public importance that will culminate in a year-end published paper. Fellows will work directly with Senator LeMieux to select, rigorously research and prepare the topic for publication and presentation.
|View video from LeMieux Center Press Conference
"Palm Beach Atlantic University is an outstanding and special institution. I am honored PBA has created this center to focus students on engaging early in public policy and leadership," says Sen. LeMieux. "There are a series of substantial and ongoing issues facing Florida and America, and a need for thoughtful consideration in how to address these challenges. For me, public service has always been about finding solutions, and I look forward to working with PBA students to find the solutions as they prepare to become the future leaders of our state and our nation."
Senator LeMieux served in the U.S. Senate for Florida during the 111th session of Congress. He is currently Chairman of the Gunster law firm. In 2010, he gifted his senatorial papers and other memorabilia from his 16 months of service in the U.S. Senate to the Palm Beach Atlantic University's Warren Library archives.
For additional information on The LeMieux Center for Public Policy at Palm Beach Atlantic University, contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Palm Beach Atlantic University is a private, independent university offering undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees in West Palm Beach, Orlando, Wellington and online. The University is dedicated to the integration of Christian principles to prepare students for learning, leadership and service.

Shoe shinning may be a bit of a dying art, but Elwood Brown Jr. is trying to bring it back with his recently opened business, Brown's Shoe Shine Parlor.
Shoe shinning may be a bit of a dying art, but Elwood Brown Jr. is trying to bring it back with his recently opened business, Brown's Shoe Shine Parlor.
"I used to shine shoes when I was young in high school for a little extra money," Brown said. "I thought it might be a good thing to bring it back."
Brown opened his shop at 107 11th St., adjacent to Smokey Joe's Barbecue. He shines everything from the standard dress shoe to suede boots to women's flats.
"The younger people wear sneakers all the time, so my business mostly caters to older people, church members, lawyers or doctors. It's for people who like to keep their shoes clean," Brown said.
He added that a regular maintenance will extend the life of the leather and enhance the shoes. A standard dress shoe takes about 10 minutes to shine, however, a dye job or suede shoes may take a bit longer. For example, Brown said he has cleaner for suede shoes that will not damage the leather. He lets the cleaner dry then brushes the nap back up to make the shoe appear fresh and new.
Brown also offers pick-up and delivery if more than one pair of shoes needs to be serviced.
"If you don't take care of your shoes, it is like washing a car and leaving the tires dirty. It defeats the purpose of washing the car," Brown said with a chuckle.
Contact information for Brown's Shoe Shine Parlor is 470-6339. Exact hours of operation have not been determined.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy is looking slightly weaker one day before a critical report on May job growth.
Economic growth was a little slower in the first three months of the year than first estimated, largely because governments and consumers spent less and businesses restocked their supplies more slowly.
The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits rose to a five-week high last week. And a survey of private companies showed only modest hiring gains last month.
Still, a softer job market hasn't caused Americans to scale back spending. Consumers spent more at retail stores in May than the same month last year, buying more clothes and Mother's Day gifts.
The mostly disappointing data kept the Dow Jones Industrial Average on pace to record its first monthly loss since September. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note sank to 1.56 percent, a 66-year low.
Thursday's data showed that: — The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.9 percent in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said in its second of three estimates of January-March growth. That's lower than its initial estimate of 2.2 percent.
— Weekly applications for unemployment aid rose 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 383,000, the Labor Department said.
— Private businesses added 133,000 jobs last month, according to a survey by payroll provider ADP. That figure disappointed most economists, who had hoped to see job growth accelerate after ADP's survey found that just 113,000 jobs were added in April.
Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Research, said he was discouraged by the slowdown in first-quarter growth.
"This report does little to change the perception of an economy ticking along at a moderate pace but failing to break out into a full-on recovery with consistently above-potential growth," Newland said.
When the government issues its report Friday on May employment, economists expect it to say that employers added 158,000 jobs. That would be better than in the past two months but far below the winter's pace of 252,000 jobs per month. They also expect no change in the unemployment rate, which was 8.1 percent in April.
Surveys show the economy is the top issue on voters' minds. Weaker growth and only modest job gains could give momentum to Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential challenger. Romney has made President Barack Obama's handling of the economy the central theme in his campaign.
The government makes three estimates of quarterly economic growth, or gross domestic product. GDP measures the output of all goods and services in the United States, from haircuts and coffee to airplanes and appliances.
A big reason growth slowed in the January-March quarter was that government spending at all levels fell at a 3.9 percent annual rate. That's the biggest decline in a year and nearly a full percentage point more than estimated last month.
Government spending has declined for six straight quarters. And national defense spending has tumbled in the past two quarters. It fell at an 8.3 percent annual rate in the first quarter of 2012 and at a 12.1 percent annual rate in the final three months of 2011. The declines largely reflect the winding down of the Iraq war.
Federal government spending fell at a 5.9 percent annual rate in the first quarter.
Spending by state and local governments fell at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the first quarter, double the initial estimate. Many economists had thought the worst was over at the state and local level.
"This throws some cold water on the view that state and local governments have already bitten the bullet and are now likely to add to, rather than subtract from, growth in 2012," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.
Government spending at all levels fell last year. That subtracted nearly a half of a percentage point from 2011 growth, which was 1.7 percent.
Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said the economy would be growing at least a full percentage point faster if governments were spending at the rate they normally do three years into a recovery.
"Fiscal austerity comes at a price whether you are talking about the United States or Europe," Naroff said. "In the United States, we are taking moderate growth and turning it into sluggish growth."
Analysts think the economy is growing at a slightly faster rate this spring. Hiring has been steady and gas prices are lower, allowing consumers to spend more freely. Consumer spending drives 70 percent of economic activity.
And more demand from consumers leads businesses to step up restocking. When companies order more goods, it increases factory production and boosts growth.
Economists foresee growth at an annual rate of between 2 percent and 2.5 percent in the April-June quarter. Many expect the economy will maintain that pace for all of 2012.
Still, growth of 2.5 percent typically generates only enough jobs to keep pace with population changes. Most economists say it takes almost twice as much growth to boost hiring enough to lower the unemployment rate by 1 percentage point over a year.
The unemployment rate has fallen a full percentage point since August — from 9.1 percent to 8.1 percent last month. Part of the reason for the drop is that employers added 1.5 million jobs in that time. But another reason the rate has fallen so fast is that some people have grown discouraged and given up looking for work. The government counts people as unemployed only if they're actively looking for a job.
In a more encouraging development, major retailers reported bigger-than-expected sales gains in May compared with a year ago. Consumers bought more clothing and took advantage of Mother's Day promotions. The modest but healthy gains followed a dismal showing in April.
During the January-March quarter, consumer spending grew at an annual rate of 2.7 percent. While that was the fastest pace since the end of 2010, it was down from the initial estimate of 2.9 percent.
Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, pointed out that some components of GDP were revised higher. Among them was housing, which is beginning to show signs of a modest recovery.
Another positive development this month: Gas prices have fallen sharply.
A gallon of regular unleaded has dropped by 32 cents since peaking in the first week of April. U.S. retail gasoline prices fell Thursday to $3.62 a gallon, according to auto club AAA.
Experts see gas falling to at least $3.50 by July 4.

And we have another contender for the stupidest technology-related lawsuit of 2011. Do you remember RealNetworks? The scourge of '90s web users? Lucky for us, their horrible media player is no longer a requirement on the web. Also lucky, for those of us who occasionally run into content encoded in any of Real's codecs, there's Real Alternative (download here). Well, apparently, RealNetworks is not happy with Real Alternative (download here), as the US company has completely destroyed the life of the Dutch maintainer of a website who dared to link to Real Alternative (download here).

The article is incorrect, since it claims this was only about linking, while there is evidence that he was actually redistributing the software (which contains Real's proprietary codecs).
Apart from that, it's sad to see that the system is set up in such a manner that an individual cannot defend himself against a company without making enormous debts.

Yesterday's post made caused me to remember a comment made by Michelle on the Herbwife's Kitchen's Eat Local This September post about having a blogparty based on using local herbs for month. It makes sense to me to do that this month while it's still harvest time for most of us. So here we are, and I'd like to host a blogparty (also called a meme in the blogosphere) this month.
The challenge is this: use local (wild, garden-grown or purchased from a local grower/wildcrafter from within appr. 100 milese) herbs as much as possible for the next month and then share your experiences and thoughts on your blog (or website). Send me (use the Red Artemis addy please) the link at the end of the month and I'll post them all here on October 3rd. I'm doing this on the 3rd rather than the 1rst in order to not overlap with the First Ally blogparty hosted by Darcey.
So come on folks, get out the weeds and wildflowers and let's have a party!
3 Responses to "100 Mile Local Herbalism Challenge Blogparty"
November 3rd? or October 3rd? I've resorted to putting them on my calender as my schedule fills up – I don't want to forget! XO -ananda
great! i thought wow, a whole month? that's really not overlapping! so i thought you meant oct. thanks for clarifying 🙂

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A defense attorney says a man accused of killing three people near Auburn University over the weekend has turned himself in.
Attorney Susan James says in a phone interview that Desmonte Leonard was taken into custody on Tuesday. Her comments confirm an earlier report by a law enforcement official who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
She said she received a text from her law office about noon saying Leonard's family was reaching out to her to turn himself in. She arranged for Leonard to turn himself in around 7:50 p.m. at a courthouse in Montgomery.
Leonard is wanted for killing three people and wounding three at a party near Auburn University on Saturday.
Police surrounded a house in Montgomery Monday afternoon and spent hours scouring it only to realize that the suspect wasn't inside.

Rainhard Fendrich has written more than a bit of Austrian history with this innocent Austrian anthem; He thus struck the Austrian soul in the heart. The new musical of the VBW with the music of Austria`s hit producer number one, Rainhard Fendrich, is our declaration of love to this country.
A concert by Rainhard Fendrich is always a journey into a fascinating world. Music with power, words with weight and with many, iridescent tones. Almost unbelievable, as long as the Austropop star and versatile artist, who also celebrated as a chansonnier, songwriter, actor, presenter and entertainer, has already been at the top.
A career `Made in Austria`, which quickly went well beyond the national borders in Europe. The brilliant record: numerous awards such as the `Amadeus` award, three `Romys` as the best showmaster, the `World Music Award` as well as a total of 28 x gold and platinum for his records and CDs. His hit `I am from Austria` became an unofficial Austrian national anthem for many, and together with Wolfgang Ambros and Georg Danzer as a legendary `Austria 3` he wrote another piece of music history. In addition, Rainhard Fendrich, who composed more than 700 songs, is a brilliant entertainer. Like in the unforgotten ARD cult show `Herzblatt`, which he took over 1993 by Rudi Carrell. Some quite different stations from recent times: On TV moderated Rainhard Fendrich et al. At the Austrian Private ATV for three seasons the music quiz `Sing and Win!` And was seen as a TV-sponsor in the ORF-Castingshow `heroes of tomorrow`. He also celebrated a brilliant theatrical comeback (all 62 performances were sold out) with the two-piece piece `Next Year - Same Time` and his operetta debut as `Oberkellner Leopold` in the classic `Im Weißen Rössl` before a total of 200,000 Visitors at the lake festivals in Mörbisch am Neusiedlersee.
During the show, banners are displayed to the left and right of the stage, where you can follow the performance with English subtitles.

Sociological attention to emotion has varied over time. Émile Durkheim (1915/1965) [73] wrote about the collective effervescence or emotional energy that was experienced by members of totemic rituals in Australian aborigine society. He explained how the heightened state of emotional energy achieved during totemic rituals transported individuals above themselves giving them the sense that they were in the presence of a higher power, a force, that was embedded in the sacred objects that were worshipped. These feelings of exaltation, he argued, ultimately lead people to believe that there were forces that governed sacred objects.
In the 1990s, sociologists focused on different aspects of specific emotions and how these emotions were socially relevant. For Cooley (1992),
pride and shame were the most important emotions that drive people to take various social actions. During every encounter, he proposed that we monitor ourselves through the "looking glass" that the gestures and reactions of others provide. Depending on these reactions, we either experience pride or shame and this results in particular paths of action. Retzinger (1991)
one star pro sneakers Converse nbm2HHbBb
conducted studies of married couples who experienced cycles of rage and shame. Drawing predominantly on Goffman and Cooley's work, Scheff (1990) Womens Harrier Nylon Windsor Wine/Gold Trainers Gola AXn886g
developed a micro sociological theory of the social bond. The formation or disruption of social bonds is dependent on the emotions that people experience during interactions.
Subsequent to these developments, Randall Collins (2004) [77] formulated his interaction ritual theory by drawing on Durkheim's work on totemic rituals that was extended by Goffman (1964/2013; 1967) [78] [79] into everyday focused encounters. Based on interaction ritual theory, we experience different levels or intensities of emotional energy during face-to-face interactions. Emotional energy is considered to be a feeling of confidence to take action and a boldness that one experiences when they are charged up from the collective effervescence generated during group gatherings that reach high levels of intensity.
There is a growing body of research applying the sociology of emotion to understanding the learning experiences of students during classroom interactions with teachers and other students (for example, Milne Otieno, 2007;
Leather slingback pumps Mansur Gavriel qKVb0E
Olitsky, 2007; [81] Tobin, et al., 2013; [82] Zembylas, 2002 [83] ). These studies show that learning subjects like science can be understood in terms of classroom interaction rituals that generate emotional energy and collective states of emotional arousal like emotional climate.

The effect of clenbuterol on the numbers of circulating B and T cells was abrogated in β
AR-deficient mice (

; and not depicted), confirming that clenbuterol specifically acts on β
ARs in this experimental setting. To determine whether the action of the β
AR agonist was mediated by β
ARs expressed on the radiosensitive hematopoietic compartment or radioresistant nonhematopoietic compartment, we administered clenbuterol to BM chimeras generated using β
AR-deficient mice as donors or recipients. Reduction of B cell numbers in blood and lymph was significantly blunted, but not completely abrogated, in WT mice reconstituted with β
AR-deficient BM cells (

). In contrast, B cell numbers in β 2 AR-deficient mice receiving WT BM cells were reduced to the same extent as WT recipients ( Fig. 1, H and I ). The same was true of T cells in the BM chimeras (unpublished data). These observations suggest that lymphopenia induced by treatment with the β 2 AR agonist largely depends on β 2 ARs expressed on hematopoietic cells although the involvement of nonhematopoietic β 2 ARs cannot be excluded.
Although this works, it isn't very flexible. By default, your background image will repeat across both the X and Y axis. Depending on the size of your image, that can result in unexpected and unwanted behavior. You also can't position or resize the background image, which is often useful—especially on today's mobile devices.
An additional attribute that you should include when using this approach is the
attribute, which provides a fallback color for when a background image can't be displayed or doesn't fill up the available space. This is necessary for two major reasons:
attribute is also deprecated, but still works in most browsers and email clients. However, there's a better way to use background images in your HTML emails…
A more robust and flexible method is using the CSS
property inline on an element like a
property again takes a URL, which is how you point to your background image. While that code will pull in the your image, using it by itself results in the same problems as the
attribute, namely that it repeats and doesn't allow for resizing or positioning.
If you want to prevent the background image from repeating, you can add in the

, but the most common one is
, which will stop the image from repeating on both the X and Y axis.
If you want your image positioned somewhere else besides the default of top left, you can use the
property with
a few different values
One of the most useful background properties, though, is the
property. It allows you to state how the background image should be sized to cover the available space in which the image is displayed. This is especially useful on mobile, where the amount of space is often limited. Instead of letting the device default to shrinking down your background image, you could use a value like
to more gracefully display the background image.
Finally, the last significant background property is the
property, which determines a fallback color for when the background image isn't displayed or doesn't fill up the entire containing element.
That can be a lot to remember when building an email, so it's useful to save your background image for reuse later on. Or, if you want, you can rely on the
CSS property, which is a shorthand for all of those properties above. Using the
property, the above could be condensed into the following:
That's a lot cleaner but it's still a bit messy and hard to navigate within the HTML of your email. Let's see how separating the styles from the HTML can help clean things up.

Presented by Allen Insurance and Financial, and the Strand Theatre
Directed by Mike Newell, the fourth installment to the Harry Potter series finds Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) wondering why his legendary scar -- the famous result of a death curse gone wrong -- is aching in pain, and perhaps even causing mysterious visions. Before he can think too much about it, however, Harry boards the train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he will attend his fourth year of magical education.
Shortly after his reunion with his best friends, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), Harry is introduced to yet another Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher: the grizzled Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson), a former dark wizard catcher who agreed to take on the infamous "DADA" professorship as a personal favor to Headmaster Dumbledore (Michael Gambon).
Of course, Harry's wishes for an uneventful school year are almost immediately shattered when he is unexpectedly chosen, along with fellow student Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson), as Hogwarts' representative in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, which awards whoever completes three magical tasks the most skillfully with a thousand-galleon purse and the admiration of the international wizard community.
As difficult as it is to deal with his schoolwork, friendships, and the tournament at the same time (not to mention his feelings toward the ever unfathomable Professor Snape (Alan Rickman), Harry doesn't realize that the most feared wizard in the world, Lord Voldemort, is anticipating the tournament, as well.

Jim Rubens: The surveillance state is not OK, and Shaheen should say so
"Live free or die." Visitors to our state often chuckle at what they see as the anachronistic bellicosity of New Hampshire's state motto stamped on our license plates. Revolutionary War Gen. John Stark coined this phrase when citizens truly understood its meaning. Too many have forgotten how precious and hard won is our freedom from tyranny.
Just what does it mean to "Live free?" Here is what it does not mean: government monitoring our private communications and relationships, tracking our location, maintaining detailed dossiers on our personal lives and preferences.
Over the past eight months, journalists have been digging through the millions of pages of NSA documents released by Edward Snowden. We now know that our own government is operating a data dragnet that makes the East German Stasi look like pokers. NSA collects, stores and sifts through our phone calls, texts, emails, social media postings, cellphone locations, computer keystrokes, Internet searches, online gaming behavior and credit card purchases. To secretly track our keystrokes, last year NSA paid hackers $25 million to hunt down security flaws in widely used software products such as Microsoft Office and Google's Chrome browser.
Our protection? The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court consisting of 11 judges appointed for seven-year terms exclusively by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts without Senate hearings or confirmation votes. FISA court briefings, hearings and rulings are made in secret, predicated on a body of secret case law, and largely unavailable for review by the public. Only government witnesses are allowed to appear before this court. According to a Wall Street Journal investigation, over its entire 33-year existence through 2012, the FISA court has granted 33,942 warrants and issued only 11 denials.
William Binney is credited as being the original architect of NSA's worldwide electronic spy network. Now a whistleblower, Binney says that America is just inches from becoming "a turnkey totalitarian state." I wish these egregious constitutional violations were no more than the plotline of another dark, futuristic Hollywood thriller.
What does New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen say about this NSA spying?
"I think that (more public awareness) will be helpful in providing some reassurance to some people about how the program is operated," Shaheen told the Valley News.
Shaheen could not be more wrong. There can be no "reassurance" when government breaches the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by seizing and searching the personal information of hundreds of millions of innocent Americans. New Hampshire citizens who understand the deep meaning of "Live free or die" are not alone in our desire to rein in the NSA's unconstitutional actions. Our neighbor state Vermont became the 12th state to introduce legislation eliminating state support for the NSA. The federal government must be made once again accountable only to the people, its powers strictly confined to those granted by the Constitution.
Jim Rubens is a businessman, former state senator, and current Republican candidate for U.S. Senate.

Questions often arise regarding whether awards can be given to political appointees during this period. There are certain legal and regulatory restrictions that apply during this period.
Section 4508 of title 5, United States Code, prohibits Senior Executive Service employees who are not career appointees, and employees in confidential or policy-determining Schedule C positions, from receiving awards during a Presidential election period. The statute defines a Presidential election period as, "any period beginning on June 1 in a calendar year in which the popular election of the President occurs, and ending on January 20 following the date of such election."
Questions often arise regarding whether this restriction would preclude an agency from granting honorary awards to these political appointees. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) could find no evidence in the legislative history or any other related documentation that Congress intended to include nonmonetary awards, which are primarily honorary in nature. Therefore, in regard to this restriction, agencies may grant awards to political appointees as follows:
The ban on awards that take the form of cash (e.g., performance awards, special act or service awards, and on-the-spot awards) is absolute for political appointees during a Presidential election period. Under no circumstances may a political appointee receive an award in the form of cash, including any honorarium or stipend that may be associated with an agency honorary award.
Delivery of a time-off award is ultimately in the form of pay for time not worked. Thus, it is construed in this context as tantamount to a cash award. Consequently, the ban on time-off awards is absolute. For the purposes of part 451.105(a) of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, we must consider a time-off award as "received" when it is granted. Under no circumstances may a political appointee receive a time-off award during a Presidential election period.
Honorary awards and informal recognition awards may take a wide variety of forms with a wide variance in monetary value, both in terms of direct cost and the appearance of such value. OPM concluded that an agency may grant a political appointee an honorary or informal recognition award during a Presidential election period, provided that the form of the award avoids the appearance of replacing a bonus. Agencies must exercise good judgment in selecting honorific items. Such items should create the inherent impression of symbolic value (an honor bestowed) rather than monetary worth (cash value). For example, presenting a commemorative photograph or a certificate in a simple, inexpensive frame would be appropriate, but presenting an expensive crystal carafe would not be.
Another awards restriction applies to certain high-level political officials at any time. Section 4509 of title 5, United States Code, prohibits granting cash awards to employees appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, who are paid under or with reference to the Executive Schedule.
Awards administrators and others who may be involved in the awards process need to be aware of these award restrictions for political appointees –especially the restrictions during Presidential election periods. Awareness will help ensure adherence to the statute, which in turn will promote confidence in Federal awards programs.

Well done, Paul. Any successful site design or redesign must start with an understanding of objectives, else one is setting up an eventual failure. The challenge is that many clients have not thought through what those objectives may be. As the web becomes more sophisticated and complex, it is more challenging for the client (and quite honestly some web devs who are more technical than consultative) to establish recognizable and attainable web objectives. The redesign client should seek out the expertise that will guide them through a process, whether it be from the web designer or a third party consultant.
Thanks again for highlighting this critical phase of successful development.

Report looks at wildlife refuge economic benefits
WINONA, Minn. (AP) — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge is a boon to the regional economy.
The service says the refuge generated over $161 million in economic benefits for a 19-county area in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois in 2011. The benefits from visitor spending tied to recreation on the refuge include retail sales, taxes and job income.
The agency's report, Banking on Nature, also says the Upper Mississippi refuge returned nearly $46 for every $1 appropriated.
The report also says the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Minnesota generated over $202,000 in economic benefits for Marshall and Pennington counties in 2011.
