Great Bike Repair Stand

Good stand. Really good value but room for improvement
By LouRider

About Me Casual/ Recreational
This stand is good, but not quite great. I got it during a sale, so for me the value was really good. I use it to work on my 2 carbon bikes (road & mtn). The parts seem well constructed and I don't have have much issue with the build quality. Although, I will say that the quick release skewers seem cheaply made. For me, the major drawback is that there is some play in the stand once you get your bike set up. The square tube that holds the bottom bracket and the quick release skewers has a little play side to side. It gives the feeling that something isn't quite sturdy/secure. I don't worry about my bike coming out, but I would like less play so there's no wiggle/wobble when wrenching on the bike. Overall, I would buy it again as I don't have the budget for a better one. However, if I'm still doing all my repair work in the future and can afford it, I will probably look to invest in a higher quality stand like the one from Park. That said, this one should work out great for the next 5 years or so.

great stand
By bobo rodriguz
from Honolulu, Hawaii
This is an awesome bike stand and is made very solid. the only thing I would do to better this stand is to design a means to strap down the bike to the stand with a more positive locking system. the only thing means of securing your bike is a 1" Velcro strap.other than that I would definitely recommend this product to others who may be looking into getting a work stand.

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I really like having a rack that doesn't clamp on the top tube. It is fairly light weight, really easy to set up and adjust and use. The only downside is that it doesn't work with Cannonade bikes with Lefty forks.
Great deal on Nashbar

Makes working on your bike easy with good height adjustment and love the fact you can spin your bike around to work on both sides without moving yourself.

Comes pre assembled and snaps into place. Nice and stable.
Nice stand for my needs
By Bull778
from Southern CT
This stand does a lot of really great things. I like that I can rotate the bike on the stand and keep my tools in one place. It's taller than I expected. I'm 6ft and my handlebars are at eye-level when the stand is on it's lowest setting. I had two issues with mine right out of the box. The first was that front fork skewer had stripped threads in the quick release fastener so it kept breaking free when I tried to fix the bike on the stand. I just used the qr fastener for the rear wheel and replaced that one with a spare skewer that came with my fluid trainer. Second problem was that the plastic fasteners for the strap broke into a bunch of little pieces when I tried to tighten it down (with my weak hand). That was easily remedied also and I've had no problems since then. I've had one of my bikes on the stand everyday for the past couple of weeks for some form of tinkering and this has made it much more comfortable to do the work.

Skip to comments.Ex-senator linked to oil-for-food claims (Bob Torricelli)
Posted on 05/18/2006 5:37:16 PM PDT by wjersey
The US Senate is looking into allegations that a former US senator urged Baghdad to give a US company lucrative contracts under the much-criticised United Nations oil-for-food programme.
This is the first time that a leading US lawmaker has been linked to the controversial UN programme, whose shortcomings have been an important element of the Bush administration's critique of the UN.
The investigation involves one of the most vivid figures in US east coast politics, former senator Robert Torricelli, a New Jersey Democrat who was forced to pull out of the 2002 election after being "severely admonished" by the Senate ethics committee for accepting expensive gifts from David Chang, a campaign contributor. Mr Chang, a Korean-American businessman, was found guilty in 2002 of conspiring to violate federal campaign laws and was jailed for 15 months.
Senator Norm Coleman, the Republican chairman of the US Senate permanent sub-committee on investigations, said: "We take these allegations seriously and will continue to investigate in a bipartisan manner allegations of wrongdoing under the oil-for-food programme. We have investigated the illicit conduct of politicians in Russia, France, and the UK. We have a similar interest in preserving the institutional integrity of the US Senate, so we take these allegations regarding former Senator Torricelli seriously and will continue our investigation into them and will refer our findings to the appropriate agencies." The British, French and Russian politicians investigated by the subcommittee deny the allegations.
The allegations are based on Iraqi documents, including diplomatic cables, retrieved after the fall of Saddam Hussein, Iraq's former president.

Burn the Torch!!
Oh here we go again thank god he is a Dimwitcrat!
The "TORCH" is about to be extinguished.....again!
No they won't, not as it relates to Toricelli. He "retired" as requested and won't be bothered further.
Yes, but did Torricelli and George Galloway exchange bodily fluids?
Where there is one rat there are more. Perhaps we are about to fully understand the Democrat love affair with Saddam.
Wow there is blast from the criminal past. The Torch. Hey didn't he sleeze in another rat senator from NJ?
I am shocked,simply shocked------NOT
What was Pelosi saying about the "Culture of Corruption"? Perhaps the chickens are coming home to roost.
LOL! Torch is a alot of fun isn't he?
Let's also take this occasion to go down Memory Lane with Toricelli- a man who had as much to do with emasculating the CIA as Frank Church.
Culture Of Treason!
Ding! ding! ding! We have a winner!
Yah, too bad... [snicker!]
he's used to getting gifts. he loved the gifts from the chinese
Once again, The Torch got burned.
If he gets indicted, will he have Frank Lautenburg replace him as the defendant?
How's the Rockerfeller investigation going?
Ah....he'll just deny it...isn't that his MO!!
Funny how Normie started out gung-ho...and hasn't been heard of since...LOL
Coleman has been a disappointment. Is it a case of follow the money...to where he found it?
I want to see him "frog marched"...to court....LOL
Oil-For-Food ping
I had high hopes for Coleman...but not only has he done bupkis (thanks Tony) re: OFF lately..
But, he seems to have caught the Lincoln Chafing (thanks Mark) disease...and is voting more and more against President Bush's agenda.
Incredible. Torch getting lit up again.
I guess the "Torch" can retire from politics but we will never be able to be rid of his stench.
who would indict him?
Culture of corruption goes on and on and on.......
The REAL culture of corruption.
Ping A Ling
What will come of it?
Gee I wandered over just in time to see the ping.
This should be fun to follow.... ;-)
Thanks for the ping!
I hope that this time, he DOES TIME!
According to the same Iraqi document, Mr Torricelli met Mr Hamdoun again two days later. At that meeting, Mr Torricelli said that since their previous conversation he had spoken with Edward Gnehm, the deputy US representative to the UN, who was leading negotiations with Iraq about the oil-for-food programme.
On June 22, according to the same document, Mr Torricelli allegedly met Mr Hamdoun again. Mr Torricelli told him he had heard that the Iraqis might not give US companies any contracts and advised him that this would be a mistake. Mr Torricelli told Mr Hamdoun that he expected to win a US Senate seat in the November election (as he later did), and said that Bright and Bright was important to him and his election campaign and that he hoped that the company would receive contracts from Iraq.
According to the Iraqi document, Bright and Bright initially asked for 60 per cent of Iraq's oil contracts and a discount of $1.50 a barrel. Then on June 11 1996, a Bright and Bright executive wrote to Mr Hamdoun asking for government contracts worth as much as $300m in the first 90 days of the oil-for-food programme. In return, he said Bright and Bright would continue to support the normalisation of relations between the US and Iraq.
With Lautencadaver, the 'Rats have taken the "Dead Men Vote" strategery to a whole new level.
Those Republicans and their culture of corruptions, why...what? Another Democrat?
Never mind.
I just hope something comes of this. He's been slippery, thus far.
Not sure .. but I'll betcha there are a few phone calls going on about this within the Dem Ranks
the DOJ doesn't strike me as being too aggressive rooting out cases of political corruption by Dems. its the "new tone" you know.
Funny ain't it

Black Friday shopping in Providence Marketplace went off with only minor problems.
"Overall, this was a very smooth opening for the holiday shopping season and really incident free," said Mt. Juliet Police Department's Sergeant Tyler Chandler.
According to Chandler, there were four minor, non-injury accidents and one medical call when a female passed out at Best Buy. She refused medical treatment.
Chandler said lines started forming 6:30 p.m. Thanksgiving day, and the shopping center stayed packed until around 2 a.m. Friday morning.
Things picked back up Friday at 8 a.m., which caused some traffic problems. Traffic was backed up to Old Lebanon Dirt Road. Chandler said he determined that the lights were set for a regular week day, so they assigned an officer to manually operate the lights to make it go more smoothly.

Throw the book at themPosted Wednesday, December 1, 2010, at 8:48 AM
There's a traitor in our midst.
The WikiLeaks release of more 200,000 U.S. State Department memos and reports concerning American diplomacy around the world is more than embarrassing -- in some cases it threatens lives and certainly won't help our relations with foreign countries.
It's easy to blame WikiLeaks, but the real culprit is whoever leaked the documents -- as well as the lack of security of those documents. WikiLeaks simply provided a convenient forum, but in truth, there are plenty of places those documents could have been sent and they'd have still become public knowledge. Blaming WikiLeaks is merely shooting the messenger. It doesn't address the basic issue.
What the United States government needs to do is find the person -- or persons -- responsible for stealing these confidential documents and prosecute them to the full extent of the law, including charging them with treason, if it is possible to do so (it may not be, considering how the laws are written and the Constitutional standards).
This follows hard on the heels of the release last year of Department of Defense documents concerning the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A U.S. soldier, who served in a military intelligence capacity in Iraq, has been charged with the release of those documents.
But many of the documents released this week involve incidents that happened after his arrest, so whoever is responsible this time is still at large.
Were all these documents in a single database? Who had access to it? Was it an "inside job" or could a foreign government or individual hacker have been able to get access? These are questions that need to be answered.
Most of the documents were no better than "secret" classification, one of the lowest levels of security, and many were unclassified, but the fact that someone who was not acting in the best interests of our nation was able to gain access at all is disturbing.
For many people, looking at these documents is like seeing how sausage is made. These are the ingredients of foreign relations. But in diplomacy, it often is useful to keep things "in house," out of the prying eyes of the public. The greatest damage here is the loss of trust between our nation and the nations with which we must deal. That loss is no small thing. Without trust between nations, very little gets done.
That's why when the source of these leaks is found, we need to throw the book at them.
And, of course, we clearly need to tighten our cybersecurity.

Way to go CJW! This local paper is all about hide and seek when it comes to the real news. Just look at the spin that was put on things right before the local election. Only in MH can it be okay for a local law enforcement officer to investigate his own son AND finally call the State Police in. Why was he ever involved in the first place...conflict of interest. How much evidence was "lost" as a result of this intervention? Good ole MH. Same old, same old.

It's funny.
What we do to entertain us.
We think we got the right to indulge ourselves with what ever nature has to offer, just because we're "on top".
Well here is a quick explanation of what I have seen involved in the bull fights.
First some clown like Matadors, prat about with the new bull that is released into the stadium and get it to chase them. They have safe zones near the sides where they hide and the next clown like Matadors starts baiting the bull and the bull leaves the first clown like Matadors and chases the second who is now waving the cloth at it. They do this to get a idea of the bulls temperament.
Then some knight like dude in heavy armour arrives on top a horse that is also heavily armoured. He then goes about getting the bull the charge at the horses side and when it does he rams it with a spear just behind the neck area (this is to soften the area for the main Matador to do the final kill).
Then he goes off after a few good stabs and 2-3, I would say semi-matadors arrive (not the big show but up and coming dudes) they then get the bull to charge at them, with no cloth by the way, whilst holding 2 dagger like objects at the end of sticks and then when the bull drops its head to jam its horns up the semi-matador guts, the semi-matador jumps to the side and hits it with the daggers in the same location as the knight dude on the horse. They do this for a while, you can seen at this stage the bull loosing blood quite badly as it has been running and its heart pumping heavily.
Now the big show Matador arrives, gets the bull to 'dance' with him whilst using the cloth that we see most the time in pictures and movies, the bull is now quite tired, if he did this at the beginning the bull would own him as it would not have lost so much blood and energy.
The bull is now seriously tired, drained of blood and is not really moving freely, most just stand there still. He then signals to the crowd that its time for the kill and they all get cheer and touch themselves (okay they don't really touch themselves), he then is handed a slim sword, much like zorros.
He approaches the bull from the front with a cloth to help lower the bulls head, some don't have the cloth, just him and the bull, this is because the angle to the bulls heart from the wound can only be reached from directly in front of the bull.
The Matador then jumps in and stabs the bull, then jumps to the side when the bull lurches out one last time (our dude was not so good). The bull now falls on its front feet in a kind of bowing position and the crowd get really turned on by this. The Matador finally gets a small dagger and jams it into the bulls spinal cord and the kill is complete.
If the crowd are pleased they start waving their white handkerchiefs and saying stuff in Spanish.
Then the bull is dragged off by the knight dude and a few minutes later another bull arrives and the battle begins again.
p.s. on a side note: I saw a documentary on how these bulls are bread and made ready for the contest and I will say, they are looked after very very well and the guy I saw who bread them (think he was No.1 breeder) was quite upset whenever his bulls where taken away.
You had me at the touch themselves comment lol.
It's still not justifiedp.s. on a side note: I saw a documentary on how these bulls are bread and made ready for the contest and I will say, they are looked after very very well and the guy I saw who bread them (think he was No.1 breeder) was quite upset whenever his bulls where taken away.
whether we take care of them or not, we're still at a barbaric level when it comes to entertaining ourselves.

The conference just finished a while ago, and Sony brought it all up in the table.
First, the PS3 slim was announced. The PS3 slim is 34% lighter and 34% less power consumption. It also have a 120 GB hardrive. The price of the console is $299 for US and 299 pounds for UK. In addition, as of today all PS3 consoles including the big one will all be price the same.
Second, the Firmware update. If you guys haven't checked the PSblog yet. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/...-v3-00-update/ Check that link. The theme update is just phenomenal. In addition, it's all dynamic now.
Thoughts anyone?

The Pirates from Green River traveled to Spanish Fork to battle against the Meridian Mongoose and battle they did. Playing Meridian was a hard fought battle with the Pirates coming out victorious against a rival who in past years didn't quite give them the same challenge.
The Green River Pirates came out strong in the first quarter with a 13-4 run but fell apart in the second scoring only three points to the Mongoose's 11 leading the teams into half time with the Pirates up by one.
Coach White's half time chat gave the Pirates a boost scoring 17 to the Mongoose 13. Entering the fourth quarter the Pirates owned a 33-28 lead but it wasn't nearly enough. The Mongoose were determined to defend their home court (held at the Utah County Armory) and never gave up. The game was fast paced and seemed to get a bit out of control down the stretch.
With 28 seconds left in the game, the Pirates enjoyed a 39 to 46 lead thanks in part to a made basket by Tre Burton and Kaden Mecham (who was at the line alone on an intentional foul).
With 11 seconds left the Pirates were still hanging on by a thread when Justin Johnson took one to the nose sending him and his bleeding nose to the line for two.
The final score was 48-42 with excitement up to the very end.
Green River outscored the Grand County Devils in three out of the four quarters for a 68-50 non region victory. Jason Johnson scoring big with 32 points and Kayden Mecham adding 24. Others scoring were Justin Johnson with eight, and Diego Mendoza with four.

Earlier this week, the state legislature and the Governor moved Mississippi's primitive weapon season for whitetail further into the modern era, allowing anyone hunting on private or leased, hunting club land to use any shooting method they like after Nov. 30, an act I'm proud to welcome.
In my earliest days with the Mossy Oak Productions team, one of my jobs was helping keep the muzzleloaders clean, a chore everyone in the office disliked witnessing a lot more than I disliked doing.
Most of our big game hunting was done with archery gear, centerfire rifles or slug guns, depending on the laws and seasons. When our field guys did use a muzzleloader, though, my post-use protocol was a joy to behold.
The first step in the cleaning procedure was to find Popeye and feed him three or four cans of spinach so he could unscrew the breech plug with the manufacturer-provided wrench, one whose handle was sized perfectly for the fingers of a 4-year-old girl. This had to be done while overpowering spent powder gunk that had built up and petrified in the threads.
With this accomplished and my vision and blood pressure returned to normal, I'd select a garbage can, hold one end of the barrel over it, spray in a generous amount of bore solvent, then chase it with hot water to wash the gunk free. The department coffee maker was ideal for getting the water scalding hot and the pot was just right for pouring, so I always did this standing midway of the building, an ideal spot for the job if ever I saw one.
When the hot water hit the solvent and gunk, the sulphur of the ages would be released, forming a noxious cloud that fed through the return air vents of the heating system to be evenly distributed throughout the building. With cries of anguish and disgust bouncing joyfully among the walls, I'd use the bore brush to get everything clean, then run wads of patches through until my work area looked like the beginnings of a cotton module.
With both the barrel and breech plug cleaned and dry, I'd apply a big dose of a specialized lubricant to the plug's threads as I'd been cautioned to do, forming a sheen suspiciously resembling the gunk that would later have to be again overwhelmed.
There may be a certain romance and nostalgia to black powder hunting, but cleaning up after the fact is a reminder of how far our species has progressed.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Kenneth Davis
GED Instructor/Intervention Coordinator
A high school dropout who struggled with a learning disability, Kenneth Andre Davis says that he became a GED teacher because he understands what it's like to feel less than smart.
Although he persevered – enrolling at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College and eventually graduating from University of Richmond – he never forgot how it was to be pegged as "lazy or slow."
He also never forgot the teachers who helped him through, especially a middle school teacher named Ms. Shaw. "She was hard on me," he says, "which I didn't appreciate then, but certainly did later on."
Originally planning to become a sportswriter, Davis obtained a degree in communications, and was preparing to take on an internship at the Richmond Times Dispatch. But in the meantime, he had begun substitute teaching at different schools.
"It wasn't until I subbed at Henrico High School, the school that I dropped out of, that I caught the teaching bug," says Davis, "despite not teaching anything up to that point in my life." When the principal asked him to take over the GED program temporarily, Davis found himself accepting the position despite his misgivings.
Five years later, he feels fortunate that he has found teaching. "I didn't know that I wanted to teach," he says, "although I always knew that I wanted to make a difference."
As a GED teacher, he strives to help his students see that high school isn't for everybody, and to know that the type of diploma a person gets does not define them. "It's what you decide to do with the diploma," he says, "that truly determines the key to your success."
To drive the point home, Davis displays in his classroom a board with photos of GED graduates from his previous classes, as well as a board displaying pictures of famous people who have obtained their GED.
It's clear from the words of the students and colleagues who wrote to nominate Davis as a top teacher that he has succeeded in imparting his message.
One former student credited Davis with helping him not only to receive a diploma, but also a scholarship to college. Others wrote that after obtaining their GEDs they went on to careers in the military, in nursing, and in other professions – often with Davis' help on their resumes and the job hunt.
"He always told his students to overcome any obstacle that they have had in life," said one student, "because he went through the same obstacles, but now he is a college graduate. "
The fact that Davis was once in their position, however, is just one of the reasons that his students find him inspiring.
"I wanted to learn in his class because of the vibe this guy gives to a classroom," said one student. "Even the most hard-headed of students that hate school [get motivated], because after class you've learned more than [in] a week high school."
"He is fun-loving and a loving teacher," said another student. "He has the compassion and heart. He [puts himself] in his student's situation and makes us know that we are a phone call away from him."
"He treats all his students with the same respect he gives any other adult," wrote another former student. "He never made us feel like we were young and immature like most teachers do. He never judged me . . . and even though I am young and married with a son, he helped me to realize my life doesn't stop there but may continue to get better with my education. "
"He always pushed me and never gave up on me nor my classmates," said a student. "Without Mr. Davis I would not be where I am today."
A colleague of Davis' wrote to say that he has never missed a GED graduation ceremony. While at Tucker H.S., he had the highest GED passing rate of all the teachers; he has also had the highest number of students take advantage of the college scholarship offer for GED recipients.
"He believes in his students," said his colleague, "and in turn they start believing in themselves."
Both Davis and his colleague cite the case of a recent GED graduate as an example of what can be accomplished once a student acquires that belief.
Even before the student entered his program, Davis had heard about him from other teachers – "and let's just say that they weren't singing his praises," he recalls, noting that the student had been described as hyper, disruptive, and disrespectful.
What's more, by his third year at Tucker, the student had acquired exactly zero credits.
In spite of his reputation, Davis was determined to give the boy a clean slate, and before long they had found common ground in their music and fashion tastes. According to Davis, they simply "clicked," and the boy began to improve in "leaps and bounds."
Within nine months in the program the young man was able to make up four years, says Davis, "due to his work ethic and strong belief in himself."
Now a freshman at Stratford University majoring in culinary arts, the former student invited Davis to his college orientation, where Davis says he found himself reminiscing about that "disrespectful, disruptive young man who went through two years of high school without a credit."
That's the beauty of his job, says Davis, and the source of his passion to teach.
"Right before your eyes, you watch their apathy turn into unbridled interest," he says, "and a once-resistant student turn into a willing and engaging one."

CHICAGO – After missing the Royals series because of the birth of his son, third baseman Kevin Youkilis is back in the lineup today versus Detroit.
Youkilis adds a much needed bat for a scuffling offense that needs to find a groove as tonight's series opener, part of a four-game set. Slugger Adam Dunn (strained right oblique) is not in tonight's lineup and is missing his fourth straight game. He remains day to day.
Rookie left-hander Jose Quintana (5-4, 3.68 ERA) makes his first career start versus the Tigers who send right-hander Rick Porcello (9-11, 4.58) to the mound. The Sox enter tonight's game with a two-game lead on the Tigers. The South Siders have lost seven consecutive games to Detroit.
Gavin Floyd (right elbow flexor strain) will likely start Wednesday versus Detroit provided he doesn't suffer a setback. Pitching coach Don Cooper said Francisco Liriano, who was originally scheduled to start Wednesday, will be in the bullpen during the Tigers series. If he is not used in relief, Liriano could pitch in their series at Minnesota, Cooper said.
Tigers starting lineup
1. Austin Jackson, CF2. Ryan Raburn, LF3. Miguel Cabrera, 3B4. Prince Fielder, 1B5. Delmon Young, DH6. Jhonny Peralta, SS7. Avisail Garcia, RF8. Omar Infante, 2B9. Gerald Laird, C

The Waiting List (Lista de espera)
In this allegorical comedy-drama, a disparate group of people wait at a rundown Cuban transit station for the next bus to arrive. The problem is, it never shows up. While a number of busses pass by the station, and others that are either full or at the end of the line stop by, it soon becomes obvious that the bus everyone was waiting for has left them high and dry. While one of the would-be passengers, Emilio (Vladimir Cruz), uses his down time to win the affections of beautiful Jacqueline (Thaimi Alvarino), most of the rest decide that if they're stuck without anywhere to go, they might as well make the station a better place to wait, and they begin forming a plan to turn the decrepit bus terminal into a showplace that people would look forward to visiting. Lista De Espera was directed by Juan Carlos Tabio, in what was his first solo directorial credit in eight years -- after several noted collaborative efforts. The film was shown as part of the Un Certain Regard series at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The 2009 high school softball season opened with a home win for the Emery High Lady Spartans last Wednesday afternoon as Emery defeated North Sevier 16-6 in the varsity game. The JV team continued the good afternoon with an 18-3 victory.
The visiting Wolves got started quickly as the leadoff batter singled and was tripled home by the following batter. Spartan pitcher Keera Allred then settled in with a strikeout of the next batter, a fly-out of the following batter and then a groundout.
Emery answered immediately. In the bottom of the first inning, Adrienne Weihing walked, Danavin Reed walked and Abbie Kay got an RBI with a single. Reed scored on a Markette tanner single to right center field and after Gabby Guymon walked, Kay and Tanner scored on a single by Shelby Mason. Emery led 4-2 after the first inning.
Over the next three innings, Emery held North Sevier to two base hits and two walks while Allred struck out the side in the fourth inning. Emery added six runs in the third inning to grab a 10-2 lead.
After the first two batters of the third inning got out, Tanner singled again, Guymon and Allred walked and Mason got on by an error. Weihing, Michelle Oliver and Makiah Sherman each then walked and through stolen bases and passed balls, Emery scored their six runs.
North Sevier added three runs in the fifth inning and another in the sixth to get to their six runs. Emery added one run in the fourth inning, three more runs in the fifth inning and won the game by the 10-run rule with two more in the sixth inning.
In the fourth inning, Guymon scored after walking on a single by Allred. In the fifth inning, Sherman, Reed and Kay each singled with Sherman scoring on Kay's base hit. Reed and Kay scored on a double by Guymon. In the sixth inning, Oliver tripled and Sherman walked. Both scored on a double to right centerfield by Kay.
Emery scored 16 runs on 13 base hits and the Spartans walked 10 times. Each of the first seven batters scored two times with the other two batters each scoring once. Abbie Kay led the team with three base hits and four RBI's. Gabby Guymon batted four times and doubled once and walked three times. Keera Allred pitched a complete game to get the victory, walked three batters and struck out six batters.
In the JV game, Emery scored seven runs in the first inning, two runs in the second inning, and nine runs in the fourth inning. Freshman Whitney Roper pitched a complete game in getting the win.
Miranda Miller batted four times, got on base four times and scored three times to lead the team. Makayla Copinga batted four times and scored three times. Shailee Stokes and Kaitlyn Thompson each batted three times and scored twice. Shannie Luke, Mackenzie Grange and JoLynn Jennings each scored twice.
Emery now travels to the St. George area this week for games at Hurricane on Thursday and will participate in a St. George tournament on Friday and Saturday.

By PATSY STODDARDStaff, Emery County Progress
The Municipal Building Authority of Emery County met in their regularly scheduled meeting on March 5 at 2 p.m. The first item on the agenda was the update on the public safety complex.
Todd Kitchen and Jay Bunker were on hand to bring the board up to date on the progress of the public safety complex. Kitchen said, "We are still looking good and are within the perimeters of our budget. We are on schedule and making progress. Portions of the roof have been completed and they are finishing the structural steel erection. One hundred tension frames have been installed. They are finishing the masonry and the structural weight bearing walls.
"We are excited about good weather. We should be able to roll even faster with good weather. We feel good about it. We've gotten over some hurdles in the budget and it looks good," said Kitchen.
Commissioner Randy Johnson said he had consulted with Darrel Leamaster of the Castle Valley Special Service District about the sewer project to see what role they might play. CVSSD has no money to contribute to the project but could help with inspections which might save costs. Commissioner Ira Hatch pointed out that while the public safety complex is not within the CVSSD at this time, the property is in an area which will be annexed in the future. It was also pointed out that the public safety complex would not be the only user on the line and that growth is anticipated in the area.
Kitchen said, "The cost of laying the line in order to get natural gas to the site is $21,390.60. We've had the figures double checked and that's what they've come up with."
Johnson pointed out that the line would be laid in a county owned trench and he felt 'we are not where we should be with the gas company.'
Hatch wondered if the gas company had to do the work. Kitchen pointed out that yes they have to lay the line, but possibly the county could do the excavation which would save on costs.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud asked Kitchen about the costs of using propane at the site compared to natural gas. Kitchen said they had done studies and checked out the Dagget County facility which uses propane and the cost is nearly the same.
Johnson stated that the gas company should share in the costs of going through the canal. Kitchen said the gas company's idea of sharing costs was just in the cost of the piping and not in breaking through the canal. He also mentioned that they had negotiated the price down from the gas company's original price of $42,000 to run the line.
The phone company would also go through the canal with their lines and share the canal breach. Sheriff Lamar Guymon questioned if the state court building is constructed on the site, could they share the cost of the sewer and gas lines? County Clerk Bruce Funk said if the state builds the courts building they would be on a tight lease repayment schedule.
Regardless of who pays for it, Kitchen reminded everyone that they are on a tight schedule and that time is of the essence in getting across the canal and it has to be done as soon as possible.
Johnson stressed the need to work with the gas company and get through the canal before the water is turned into the canal. Hatch pointed out that there is about a month left to get it done. He reiterated the need to break the canal, and get the work done because they won't be able to get back in there this year. Johnson pointed out there are a lot of hard materials at the site to be breached.
Sitterud made the motion to approve the add on costs and the motion was seconded and carried.
The next item for consideration was the addition of a metal storage building to the public safety complex. Kitchen explained that the building had been designed with the metal storage building alongside the facility and that it is an integral piece of the facility. He suggested that they start now to save costs because it's early in the year and the prices are cheaper now than during the summer.
He pointed out that the subcontractors are on-site now and he would like to be able to talk and negotiate with them. Hatch wondered what the building would be used for. Sheriff Guymon said right now their equipment is all over with some of it being out in the weather and some inside at the old road department building. They have boats, 4-wheelers, snowmobiles and a surveillance van. Sheriff Guymon described this equipment as the core of the operation. He also mentioned that in his experience after the project is built the money for additional needs such as storage or landscaping are never finished. Everything they have needs to be stored inside.
The crux of the issue is that Sahara designed the complex to come in at 4.8 million with the storage building as part of that original plan. With the 4.5 million figure the county has to abide with, the metal building came off the drawing board.
Sheriff Guymon pointed out the storage building is crucial to their operation.
Kitchen said they could possibly realize a $15-20,000 savings in going ahead with the building at this time early in the season. Bunker pointed out that while the contractors are on the site it is easier to get them to do more.
The metal building would have plumbing for a bathroom and would be heated at a low temperature. The building would be insulated and the only sheetrock involved would be in the bathroom.
Sheriff Guymon said he got the feeling they didn't want to build the building, but encouraged them to build now and save money. "Do it now or it might not get built," he said.
Kitchen said at this point in the project and with their proven track record they are anticipating giving money back. His estimate is between $40-50 thousand which could disappear or could get better.
Another negotiating tool with the contractors would be the building of the state courts building. Johnson pointed out that they will hear from the state courts in the next week as to the status of the state courts building.
Sitterud requested they table the decision on the metal building until they have more information concerning the design of the building.
Johnson stressed the need for the decision on the metal building next month so the anticipated savings of building early could be realized.
Rosann Fillmore was next on the agenda with an update on the incubator. She introduced Wells Cannon to the meeting. Cannon will be doing a survey on the incubator with county people. He said, "We came to town and have been touring the local communities. We have seen that Emery County people are intent on improving things and making it a great place to live. It is our job to make clients happy. We intend to work in four phases. We have toured the incubator site and we met with the Emery County Economic Development Council. We decided that a survey was a good point to begin to see what job skills are available in the area. We aren't sure yet how we will get the survey out. Through the newspaper or the mail and we want to talk to some people in person.
"We will also analyze data from workforce services and make recommendations as to appropriate industries. By April 2 we would like to identify opportunities which would be viable in Emery County. We would also like to develop a review process for impact on job creation in the county for one, five and 10 years. Also a review process for impact on incomes for one, five and 10 years. By May 7 we will have a review draft report and by May 21 we will have a final report. By the June 4 municipal building authority meeting we will have the study results with 20 bound copies of the final report.
"We think the idea and concept of an incubator is very appropriate. There are approximately 500 operating in the country, each with a different twist. Some are run by cities, counties, and some are run by universities or neighborhoods. They are great projects which benefit communities. Eighty percent of businesses which start in an incubator are still in business after three years, the norm is about 35 percent," said Cannon.
Hatch wondered if they would give them recommendations about how long a business should stay in the incubator? What fees should be charged and other items. Cannon said they would make recommendations in their report.
The board members expressed their wish to be involved in planning the questions for the survey. Hatch pointed out that Dennis Nelson, Randy Jensen and Sharon Jensen will be making key decisions to what comes out of the survey and will be signing off on them. Johnson said they are looking forward to working with Cannon and look forward to the end product.
Fillmore mentioned they do not know where the water is coming in at the incubator building and they are waiting for a big storm to better evaluate the roof. The contractor is recommending the roof be replaced said Fillmore.
The next meeting of the municipal building authority will be on April 2 at 2 p.m.

Yes liking this chapter, Oda seems to be speeding things up, good.
Wonder who will be Van's opponent? His DF had me rolling especially how he placed on the princess.
I doubt VDD joins, he's a captain with a reputation to hold on with his family history. I can see him finally making up with a mermaid love of his (not necessarily the princess) and rebuild FI.
OT : Anyone else think that the manga will end ala TTGL (or worse, death)?

Joint-venture partners SunEdison Canada (www.sunedison.com) and SkyPower Corp. (www.skypower.com) announce the activation of Canada's first ground-mount photovoltaic solar system. The 9.1-MW project, named First Light, located in Stone Mills, Ontario, covers 90 acres (36 hectares) of land, about the size of 50 Canadian football fields.
SunEdison and SkyPower expect First Light to generate more than 10 million kilowatt-hours — enough electricity to power almost 1000 homes — in its first year of operation.
The system will remove almost 8000 metric tons of CO2 from the air in its first year of operation — the equivalent of carbon emissions from almost 1800 cars.
Over 20 years, the system will displace nearly 152,000 metric tons of CO2 — the equivalent of removing almost 33,000 cars from the road.
To displace the same amount of CO2 that the system will offset over 20 years, Ontario would have to plant more than 6.7 million trees.
During construction of First Light, SunEdison and SkyPower worked closely with Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources to successfully preserve habitat for the endangered Eastern Loggerhead Shrike on the property.
According to Elaine Williams, executive director of Wildlife Preservation Canada, "Both SunEdison and SkyPower have shown all along their willingness to help the endangered Loggerhead Shrikes. We appreciate all of their help and see this as a great example of how cooperation can lead to good outcomes," she said.

Exalt the Lord our God.
Verse: The Lord reigns; let the people tremble.
BRETHREN, have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

text:
Most people have had headaches. There are many different kinds of headaches, and they range from being an infrequent annoyance to a persistent, severe, and disabling medical condition.
The brain is insensitive to pain, so that is not what hurts when you have a headache. Rather, the pain occurs in the following locations:
Doctors categorize headaches as either primary or secondary. The category helps to distinguish the many different kinds of headaches and to determine right treatments for each.
A headache is considered primary when a disease or other medical condition does not cause it. Most primary headaches fall into three main types: tension-type, migraine, and cluster headaches.
Secondary headaches are caused by other medical conditions, such as sinus infections, neck injuries, and strokes. About 2% of headaches are secondary to abnormalities or infections in the nasal or sinus passages, and they are commonly referred to as sinus headaches.
The International Headache Society has developed a classification system that includes a category called chronic daily headaches. They may originate as tension headaches, migraines, or a combination of these or other headache types. Chronic daily headaches affect 4 - 5% of the population.
Chronic daily headaches are defined as any benign headache that occurs at least 15 days a month and is not associated with a serious neurologic abnormality. Most people with these headaches have them daily or almost daily and they can be quite debilitating.
Chronic daily headaches are, in turn, subdivided into two categories:
Cluster headaches are among the most painful, and least common, of all headaches. The pain can be so excruciating that they are sometimes referred to as "suicide headaches." Their signature is a pattern of periodic cycles ("clusters") of headache attacks, which may be either:
Cluster headaches usually strike suddenly and without warning, although some people experience a migraine-type aura before the attack. The pain is deep, constant, boring, piercing, or burning in nature, and located in, behind, or around the eye. The pain then spreads to the forehead, jaw, upper teeth, temples, nostrils, shoulder or neck. The pain and other symptoms usually remain on one side of the head.
The pain generally reaches very severe levels within 15 minutes. Patients may feel agitated or restless during an attack and often want to isolate themselves and then move around. Gastrointestinal symptoms are not very common.
Other typical symptoms include:
Timing of an Attack. Cluster headache attacks tend to occur with great regularity at the same time of day. (For this reason, cluster headaches are sometimes referred to as "alarm clock" headaches.) About 75% of attacks occur between 9 p.m. - 10 a.m. Attacks may also peak between 1 - 3 p.m.
Duration of an Attack. A single cluster attack is usually brief but extremely painful, lasting about 15 minutes - 1.5 hours if left untreated.
Number of Attacks per Day. During an active cycle, people can experience as few as 1 attack every other day to as many as 8 attacks a day.
Duration of Cycles. Attack cycles typically last 6 - 12 weeks with remissions lasting up to 1 year. In the chronic form, attacks are ongoing and there is little remission. Attacks cycles tend to occur seasonally, most often in the spring and autumn.
Primary Headaches That Resemble Cluster Headaches
Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania. Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania is a close relative of cluster headache and very similar. It causes multiple, short, and severe daily headaches with similar symptoms. Unlike cluster headaches, the attacks are shorter (1 - 2 minutes) and more frequent (occurring an average of 15 times a day). This headache is even rarer than cluster headache, tends to occur in women, and always responds to treatment with the drug indomethacin (Indocin).
Hemicrania Continua. Hemicrania continua occurs mostly in women. The patient generally experiences continuous low-level headache always on one side of the face. Periodic attacks can last days to weeks, which can be mild to severe, and may resemble migraines. (About 10% of patients experience remissions.) The headache can usually be treated successfully with indomethacin, which helps differentiate it from cluster and migraine headaches.
SUNCT Syndrome. A disorder called SUNCT syndrome (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing) causes stabbing or burning eye pain that may resemble cluster headaches, but attacks are very brief (lasting about a minute) and may occur more than 100 times per day. Red and watery eyes, sweating forehead, and congestion are typical. This rare headache is more common in men and does not respond to other headache treatments.
Cluster headaches, like migraines, are likely due to an interaction of abnormalities in the blood vessels and nerves that affect regions in the face.
Evidence strongly suggests that abnormalities in the hypothalamus , a complex structure located deep in the brain, may play a major role in cluster headaches. Advanced imaging techniques have shown that a specific area in the hypothalamus is asymmetrical in these patients and is activated during a cluster headache attack.
The hypothalamus is involved in the regulation of many important chemicals and nerve pathways, including:
By some not completely understood mechanism, the trigeminal nerve is also involved. The trigeminal nerve carries sensations from the face to the brain.
Circadian Abnormalities . Cluster attacks often occur during specific sleep stages. They also often follow the seasonal increase in warmth and light, beginning in summer and ending in the fall. Researchers have therefore focused attention on circadian rhythms, and in particular small clusters of nerves in the hypothalamus that act like biologic clocks. The hormone melatonin is also involved in the body's biologic rhythms.
Cluster headaches are associated with dilation (widening) of blood vessels and inflammation of nerves behind the eye.
What causes these events and how they relate to cluster headaches are still unclear. Because blood vessel dilation appears to follow, not precede, the pain, some action originating in the brain is likely to be part of the primary process.
Some evidence suggests that abnormalities in the sympathetic (also called autonomic) nervous system may contribute to cluster headaches. This system regulates non-voluntary muscle actions in the body, such as in the heart and blood vessels.
The pain of cluster headaches can be intolerable. In fact, a higher-than-average rate of suicide has been reported in men with these headaches. Eventually, as people age, the attacks cease, but doctors cannot predict when or how they will end.
Anxiety and depression are common among people with cluster headaches, which can affect functioning and quality of life.
About 14% of patients with cluster headaches have migraine-like aura. Recent research suggests that headaches that are accompanied by aura may increase the risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). TIA symptoms are similar to those of stroke, but last only briefly. A TIA is often a warning sign that a person is at risk for having a more severe stroke. Headaches with auras may also increase the risk for eye retinal damage (retinopathy). Aura-related headaches may affect the small blood vessels in the brain and the eyes, thereby increasing the risks for stroke and retinopathy.
Cluster headaches are rare, affecting less than 1% of the population.
Cluster headaches can affect all ages, from children to the elderly, but are most common from young adulthood through middle age. Men are 2 - 3 times more likely to have cluster headaches than women, with the peak age of onset occurring during their 40s. In women, age of onset tends to be in the 60s.
Unlike with migraines, fluctuations in estrogen and other female hormones do not appear to influence the onset of attacks in women.
Lifestyle factors, including smoking, alcohol abuse, and stress (in particular stressful work situations), appear to play a very strong role in cluster headaches. Smoking or alcohol use can trigger attacks. (However, quitting smoking generally does not have an effect on the disease course.) Alcohol, most commonly red wine, may trigger an attack.
Cluster headaches tend to run in families, suggesting a genetic component may be involved in some cases.
About half of people with cluster headache have a personal or family history of migraine. Studies have reported that about 15% of patients have both kinds of headache.
Head injury with brain concussion appears to increase the risk of cluster headaches, although a causal relationship has not been proven.
Cluster headaches tend to occur during specific sleep stages and have been associated with several sleep disorders, including narcolepsy, insomnia, and sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea, a disorder in which a person stops breathing during the night, perhaps hundreds of times, is of particular interest. In some people, apnea may trigger a cluster headache during the first few hours of sleep, making patients susceptible to follow-up attacks during the following midday to afternoon periods. Treating patients who have both disorders with a device called CPAP, which opens the airways, may help improve both conditions.
The following conditions and substances might trigger cluster attacks:
Triggers usually have an effect only during active cluster cycles. When the disorder is in remission, such triggers rarely set off the headaches.
Many patients report a delay of 1 - 6 years in the diagnosis of their cluster headaches. Migraine-like symptoms (light and sound sensitivity, aura, nausea, vomiting) are major reasons for the frequent misdiagnosis by primary care doctors. In some cases, patients are inappropriately treated for other types of headaches or health conditions (including having sinus surgery).
Cluster headache is diagnosed by medical history, including the pattern of recurrent attacks, and by typical symptoms (swollen eyelid, watery eye, runny nose). Keeping a headache diary to record a description of attacks can help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. The patient should describe to the doctor:
Pain may be indicated by using a number system:1 = Mild, barely noticeable2 = Noticeable, but does not interfere with work or activities3 = Distracts from work or activities4 = Makes work or activities very difficult5 = IncapacitatingPhysical Examination
To diagnose a chronic headache, the doctor will examine the head and neck and perform a neurologic examination, which includes a series of simple exercises to test strength, reflexes, coordination, and sensation. The doctor may also examine the eyes. The doctor may ask questions to test short-term memory and related aspects of mental function.
The doctor may order a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test of the head to check for brain abnormalities that may be causing the headaches.
As part of the diagnosis, a doctor should rule out other headaches and disorders. If the results of the history and physical examination suggest other or accompanying causes of headaches or serious complications, extensive imaging tests are performed.
Migraines. Cluster headaches are often misdiagnosed as migraines but they are quite different:
Nevertheless, in both cases, the headache suffers can be highly sensitive to light and noise, which may make it difficult to distinguish between them.
Other Headaches. Other headaches that resemble migraines include SUNCT (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing) and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, which are other primary headaches, and some secondary headaches notably trigeminal neuralgia (TN), temporal arteritis, and sinus headaches. Cluster symptoms, however, are usually precise enough to rule out these other types of headaches.
Tear in the Carotid Artery. A tear in the carotid artery (which leads to the brain) can cause pain that resembles a cluster headache. People with this condition may even respond to sumatriptan, a drug used to treat a cluster attack. Doctors should consider imaging tests for patients with a first episode of cluster headache in which this event is suspected.
Orbital Myositis . An unusual condition called orbital myositis, which produces swelling of the muscles around the eye, may mimic symptoms of cluster headache. This condition should be considered in patients who have unusual symptoms such as protrusion of the eyeball, painful eye movements, or pain that does not dissipate within 3 hours.
Headaches indicating a serious underlying problem, such as cerebrovascular disorder or malignant hypertension, are uncommon. (It should be emphasized that a headache is not a common symptom of a brain tumor.) People with existing chronic headaches, however, might miss a more serious condition believing it to be one of their usual headaches. Such patients should immediately call a doctor if the quality of a headache or accompanying symptoms has changed. Everyone should call a doctor for any of the following symptoms:
Management of cluster headaches focuses on:
The most effective and best-studied treatments for a cluster attack are:
Relief can occur in 5 - 10 minutes. Oxygen and sumatriptan injection are sometimes given together.
Other drugs that may be used for acute attacks are nasal sprays of dihydroergotamine or lidocaine.
Cluster headache attacks are usually short, lasting from 15 - 180 minutes, and the excruciating pain may have subsided by the time a patient reaches a doctor's office or emergency room.
Because it can be difficult to treat attacks when they occur, treatment efforts focus on the prevention of attacks during cluster cycles. Although certain drugs are standard, preventive therapy needs to be individually tailored for each patient. The doctor may prescribe a combination of drugs.
Verapamil (Calan), a calcium-channel blocker drug, is the mainstay preventive treatment for cluster headaches. However, it can take 2 - 3 weeks for this drug to take effect. During this period, corticosteroids (typically prednisone) may be used as an initial transitional therapy. For long-term treatment of chronic cluster headaches, lithium may be used as an alternative to verapamil.
Although they are not approved for cluster headache, anti-seizure drugs such as valproate (Depakote), topiramate (Topamax), and gabapentin (Neurontin), are sometimes used for preventive treatment.
Behavioral Treatments . Behavioral therapies can be a helpful accompaniment to drug treatment. These approaches can help with pain management and enable patients to feel more in control of their condition.
Behavioral approaches include:
Lifestyle Changes . Patients should avoid the following triggers that may provoke cluster headache attacks:
Breathing pure oxygen (by face mask, for 15 minutes or less) is one of the most effective and safest treatments for cluster headache attacks. It is often the first choice treatment. Inhalation of oxygen raises blood oxygen levels, therefore relaxing narrowed blood vessels.
Triptans are drugs that are usually used to treat migraine headaches. They can also help stop a cluster attack. Injections of sumatriptan (Imitrex) are the standard triptan treatment. Sumatriptan injections work within 15 minutes in about three quarters of most cluster attacks. The nasal spray form may also be effective for some patients, and generally provides relief within 30 minutes. The spray seems to work best for attacks that last at least 45 minutes, although some people find it does not work as well as the injectable form.
Newer triptans being studied for cluster headache treatment include zolmitriptan (Zomig) in oral or nasal spray forms. Zolmitriptan may have fewer side effects than sumatriptan.
Side Effects. Side effects of sumatriptan may include:
Complications and Contradindications of Triptans. The following are potentially serious problems with triptans:
Injections of the ergotamine-derived drug known as dihydroergotamine (DHE) can stop cluster attacks within 5 minutes in many patients, offering benefits similar to injectable sumatriptan. Ergotamine is also available in the form of a nasal spray, rectal suppositories, and tablets.
Ergotamine can have dangerous drug interactions with many medications, including sumatriptan. All ergotamine products approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contain a "black box" warning in the prescription label explaining these drug interactions. Because ergotamine constricts blood vessels, patients with peripheral vascular disease should not use this drug.
Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, may be useful in nasal-spray or nasal-drop form for stopping cluster attacks. Reports suggest that it is helpful for most patients within about 40 minutes. It can have an unpleasant taste. Some doctors recommend that patients try a topical application of lidocaine to see if it helps ease pain.
Capsaicin is a compound derived from hot pepper. Some patients who have not found relief through other medications use it to treat or prevent cluster headaches by applying it intranasally. There have been few studies to confirm its effectiveness. It can cause an intense burning sensation.
Calcium-channel blockers, commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease, are important drugs for preventing episodic and chronic cluster headaches. Verapamil (Calan) is the standard calcium-channel blocker used for headache prevention. It can take 2 - 3 weeks to have a full effect, and a corticosteroid drug may be used in combination during this transitional period. Constipation is a common side effect.
People taking calcium-channel blockers should not stop taking the drug abruptly. Doing so can dangerously increase blood pressure. Overdose can cause dangerously low blood pressure and slow heart beats. Drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit with these drugs can enhance their potency, sometimes to toxic levels that can cause heart failure in patients with heart disease.
Lithium (Eskalith, Lithane, Lithobid, Lethonate, Lithotabs), commonly used for bipolar disorder, may also help prevent cluster headaches. The patient usually receives benefit within 2 weeks of starting to take the drug, and often within the first week. Lithium may be used alone or with other drugs. Lithium can have many side effects including trembling hands, nausea, and increased thirst. Weight gain is a common side effect with long-term use.
Corticosteroid drugs (also called steroids) are very useful as transitional drugs for stabilizing patients after an attack until a maintenance drug, such as verapamil, begins to take effect. Prednisone (Deltasone) and dexamethasone (Decadron) are the standard steroid drugs used for short-term cluster headache transitional treatment. These drugs are typically taken for a week and then gradually tapered off. If headaches return, the patient may start taking the steroid again. Unfortunately, long-term use of steroids can lead to serious side effects so they cannot be taken for on-going prevention.
Anti-seizure drugs, which are used for epilepsy treatment, may be helpful for preventing cluster headaches in some patients. They include older drugs such as valproate (valproic acid, divalproex sodium, Depakene, Depakote) and newer drugs such as topiramate (Topamax) and gabapentin (Neurontin). More research needs to be done to evaluate how effective these drugs are at preventing cluster headache.
Side Effects of Valproate and Other Anti-Seizure Drugs . The side effects listed here are mostly associated with valproate. Newer anti-seizure drugs may have fewer side effects. In general, most side effects occur early in therapy and then subside. Those of valproate may include:
Very serious side effects are rare but include the following:
Botulinum. Botulinum toxin A (Botox) injections are typically used to smooth wrinkles. Botox is also being studied for treatment of headaches, including the prevention of cluster headaches. Research is still preliminary and there is not sufficient evidence to support its efficacy.
Melatonin. Small reports indicate that melatonin, a brain hormone that helps to regulate the sleep-wake cycle, may help prevent episodic or chronic cluster headaches. Melatonin supplements are sold in health food stores, but as with most natural remedies, the quality of different preparations varies, and they have not been rigorously tested for safety or effectiveness. More studies are needed.
In rare cases, surgical intervention may be considered for patients with chronic cluster headaches that do not respond to treatments. Patients whose headaches have not gone into remission for at least a year may also be candidates for surgery. Most surgical approaches for cluster headache are still considered experimental, and have only been tested on a relatively small number of patients. Surgery has shown limited success and can have distressing side effects. However, some surgical techniques, such as deep brain electrical stimulation, are showing promise.
Deep brain stimulation (also called neurostimulation) may relieve chronic cluster headaches in some patients who do not respond to drug therapy. A similar technique is approved for treating the tremors associated with Parkinson's disease. The surgeon implants a tiny wire in a specific part of the hypothalamus. The wire receives electrical pulses from a small generator implanted under the collarbone.
Although only a small number of patients have been treated, results to date are promising. Some patients have remained completely free of pain for an average of more than 7 months when the electrode is switched on. When the device is turned off, headaches reappear within days to weeks. The procedure is reversible and appears to be generally safe, although a few cases of fatal cerebral hemorrhage have occurred.
Occipital nerve stimulation is being investigated as a less invasive and less risky alternative to deep brain hypothalamus stimulation. Recent studies have reported promising results in a small group of patients with cluster headaches. Some patients became pain-free, while others had reduced frequency of headache attacks.
The vagus nerve runs between the brain and the abdomen. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a surgical procedure in which a small generator is placed under the skin on the left side of the chest. A surgeon makes a second incision in the neck and connects a wire from the generator to the vagus nerve. A doctor programs the generator to send mild electrical pulses at regular intervals. These pulses stimulate the vagus nerve.
VNS is sometimes used to treat epilepsy and depression that does not respond to drugs. It is also being investigated as a possible treatment for chronic migraine and cluster headaches.
Percutaneous Radiofrequency Retrogasserian Rhizotomy. Percutaneous radiofrequency retrogasserian rhizotomy (PRFR) generates heat to destroy pain-carrying nerve fibers in the face. Unfortunately complications are common and include numbness, weakness during chewing, changes in tearing and salivation, and facial pain. In severe, but rare, cases, complications include damage to the cornea and vision loss.
Percutaneous Retrogasserian Glycerol Rhizolysis. Percutaneous retrogasserian glycerol rhizolysis (PRGR) is a less invasive technique than PRFR and has fewer complications. It involves injections of glycerol to block the facial nerves that cause the pain. Cluster headaches usually recur.
Microvascular Decompression of the Trigeminal Nerve. Microvascular decompression frees the trigeminal nerve from any blood vessels that are pressing against it. The procedure is risky, and possible complications include nerve and blood vessel injury and spinal fluid leakage. There is reasonably good evidence that it is not effective for treatment of cluster headaches.
