Treatment of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy - an updated algorithm
Adrienne Einarson, RN, Caroline Maltepe, Rada Boskovic, MD and Gideon Koren, MD FRCPC
December 2007
My patient has severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP). I am having difficulty treating her, as nothing she has tried so far has been really effective. I heard that there is some new information regarding the treatment of this condition.
Even a less severe case of NVP can have serious adverse effects on the quality of a womans life, affecting her occupational, social, and domestic functioning, and her general well-being; therefore, it is very important to treat this condition appropriately and effectively. There are safe and effective treatments available. We have updated Motherisks NVP algorithm to include recent relevant published data, and we describe some other strategies that deal with secondary symptoms related to NVP.
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is the most common medical condition of pregnancy, affecting up to 80% of all pregnant women to some degree. In most cases, it subsides by the 16th week of pregnancy, although up to 20% of women continue to have symptoms throughout pregnancy. Severe NVP (hyperemesis gravidarum) affects less than 1% of women, but it can be debilitating, sometimes requiring hospitalization and rehydration. 1 Women suffer not only physically, but also psychologically, which has been documented in a number of studies.2-4 In addition, some women have decided to terminate their pregnancies rather than tolerate the severe symptoms.5
We systematically reviewed the literature pertaining to the symptomatic treatment of NVP from January 1998 to September 2006. The updated algorithm includes this recent relevant published data (Figure 1 6, 7). The drug of choice for treatment in Canada remains Diclectin, the delayed-release combination ofdoxylamine andvitamin B6. 8
Other pharmacologic treatments with relatively good safety profiles and varying degrees of effectiveness include antihistamines, ondansetron, phenothiazines, metoclopramide, and corticosteroids. 9-12 Herbal products such as vitamin B6 and ginger have also been used safely with varying degrees of effectiveness.7, 13-17
Nonpharmacologic treatments
Acupressure and acupuncture at acupoint P6 have been used with varying degrees of effectiveness. 12,18
Overcoming secondary symptoms
There are several strategies that have been helpful in dealing with secondary symptoms related to NVP.
Mixing solids and liquids can increase nausea and vomiting because it can make the stomach feel fuller and, in some women, can cause gas, bloating, and acid reflux. Eating small portions every 1 to 2 hours and eating and drinking separately can be helpful. For example, eat a small portion of food, wait 20 to 30 minutes, then take some liquid.
Remind women that they should eat whatever they can tolerate. Other than in the case of severe malnutrition, fetuses generally receive the nutrition they require-sometimes to the detriment of the mother. For example, the calcium depletion from the fetus can cause a mother's teeth to decay.
There are supplements on the market that the mother can consume if she is unable to digest a full meal, such as liquid supplements, puddings, and protein bars to replace the lack of essential maternal nutrients.
A pregnant woman should try to consume at least 2 litres of fluids daily in small amounts taken frequently. Colder fluids, including ice chips and Popsicles, appear to be easier to tolerate and can decrease the metallic taste in the mouth. There are also commercial products available that maintain the electrolyte balance (sports drinks, etc).
Prenatal vitamins
Vitamins can worsen nausea, primarily because of the iron content and large size. The most common side effects from using prenatal vitamins are constipation, nausea, and vomiting. In the first trimester, a woman can take folic acid alone or take a multivitamin that does not contain iron, as this form does not appear to increase NVP. Later on in the pregnancy when the NVP subsides, she can resume taking her regular multivitamin.
Conditions such as heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, gas, or bloating can also exacerbate NVP and can be very uncomfortable. It is important that these symptoms are treated effectively. Minor symptoms can be treated with antacids containing calcium carbonate; however, if these are not effective, histamine (H2) blockers and proton pump inhibitors are safe to take. 19,20
In addition, there are over-the-counter products available that can help with excess gas and bloating. Some women have reported becoming lactose-intolerant during pregnancy; they should switch to lactose-free products. There is also some evidence that effectively treating Helicobacter pylori with antibiotics can mitigate the symptoms of NVP. 21, 22
Fibre for constipation
Women who do not consume enough fibre should try to increase their fibre intake by eating well-tolerated high-fibre foods (eg, cereal, dried fruit). If this is not effective, they can try over-the-counter products such as psyllium and a stool softener (eg, docusate sodium).
Spitting and mouth washing for excessive saliva
Women should be advised not to swallow excessive saliva, as this can increase the symptoms of NVP. Spitting out the saliva and frequent mouth washing can be helpful.
Because NVP affects a large number of pregnant women, some with serious consequences, it cannot be ignored, especially when there are safe and effective treatments available. Inquiring about NVP when interviewing pregnant women during their first visits to health care providers is an essential part of the history. Many women do not volunteer this information because their symptoms might have been minimized by others, or they have been informed that it is a normal part of pregnancy and something they have to tolerate.
Health care providers should be aware of the evidence-based information regarding various treatment modalities and offer them to their patients when appropriate. Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy manifests itself differently in each woman, and its management should be tailored for each individual.
Nausea alone should not be minimized, as this can affect the quality of life as much as-or more than-vomiting. Nausea treatments can be either pharmacologically based or holistic, or an effective combination of both. Timing of NVP treatment is also important, as early treatment can prevent a more severe form from occurring, reducing the possibility of hospitalization, time lost from paid employment, and emotional and psychological problems. It is important that women and their health care providers understand that the benefits of safe and effective NVP treatment predominantly outweigh any potential or theoretical risks to the fetus; thus, all treatment options should be considered.
Since we developed the algorithm in 2002, 23 there has been some new evidenced-based information published on the safety of various pharmacotherapy treatments, as well as some other strategies that we have found helpful for these women. As family physicians are often the first health care providers women approach when their pregnancy is confirmed, it is important they have this information to assist these women during this extremely unpleasant stage of pregnancy.

I changed my home page to a black background to mark the occasion of the Eldred vs Ashcroft ruling. I expected the result, but it doesn't diminish the perspective this event gives on the entire tragedy that marks the modern concept of "intellectual property". Personally, I think that almost every other policy issue in play in the world today is of less moment than this particular struggle. This is not a facile thought, but I haven't the time right now to expand upon it in the length it deserves. Luckily, others have touched on the importance of an even pitch for the intercourse of ideas. I hope to put forth my own thoughts in good time. For now, I count myself lucky that so many of my areas of close interest are beyond the grasp of Big Media. My literary interests mostly cover works that predate even the most outrageous exaggerations of copyright term. The software I use and write is almost all open source, and licensed so as to encourage free use. My main weakness is my fondness for some of the contemporary music controlled by major labels.
I'm watching Band of Brothers for the second and a half time. Such a brilliant series it is (probably the best TV miniseries I've watched) that I suppose I'll have to find some good books chronicling the "Currahee", the Screaming Eagles. I've already heard the raves for the books by Burgett and Ambrose. I also wonder whether the soundtrack of the miniseries is good on the whole. The main theme is certainly very moving.


text: Fooled with some birds first thing this morning that wouldn't play right. About 9 am I headed for the swamp and just as I got to our property line there was a gobbler standing in the road that picked up and flew down the road I had planned to park on. So I drove on past and turned up a road a little closer to the river. I had no idea if that bird would be callable but he was headed where I wanted to go anyway. I was just walking an old dim road yelping occasionally and heard a distant gobble. I pushed as close as I dared and sat down against a huge pine tree on a ridge the turkeys have always liked in this place. I broke out the Woodhaven Cherry Crystal slate, yelped then did a little cutting. He thundered about 100 yards out in front of me. Got my gun up on my knee and switched to calling with a mouth call. After a long time without seeing or hearing him I cut at with the mouth yelper and he thundered again...closer! In less than a minute I saw him passing between the big oaks down in the bottom. Beard flopping like a donkeys... well you know. He got right in the lane dead in front of me and was coming. He probably would have walked up in my lap the way he was coming but I let him get just in range and dropped the hammer on him. Hevi-13 6's laid him out. A heck of a swamp bird. 20 lbs. 11 inch beard and 1 1/8 left spur and 1 3/16 right spur. NWTF score 65.125

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
The Snuggle Bear voice was provided by veteran voice actor Corinne Orr. Her Snuggles' voice was based on a previous
character called Spridle's, a little boy character on the animated Tatsunoko Production cartoon series SPEED RACER/SYN/1967. However, Spridle's voice is a
bit hoarser.
Since his debut, the Snuggle Bear has been the subject of some humorous
stories like the Grudge Match between Snuggle and Winnie the Pooh. And then,
there was THE DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW that featured the Top 10 Fears of Snuggle the
Fabric Softener Bear on November 29, 1988. (per The Book of Top Ten Lists,
1990). They included:
TRIVIA NOTE: The Unilever corporation sued 3DO
Entertainment to pull their TV commercials for BattleTanx and BattleTanx: Global
Assault. In 1999, a federal court found that the "Treddy Bear" used in the
commercials resembles the Snuggle fabric softener bear. Reportedly, Unilever
said that they didn't want their teddy bear trademark associated with
"kidnapping children, cities destroyed, and violence abound." The TV commercial
for the original BattleTanx showed a tank running down a bear who resembled
Snuggles the Bear.
In 2002, the US. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled four million
Snuggle teddy bears given away as a promotion because of potential choking
hazards regarding the Snuggle teddy bear's eyes and noses coming off. The bears
were distributed free with the purchase of the Snuggle fabric softener between
May 1997 and December of 2001. In Germany, Snuggle is called Kuschelweich.

I keep hearing the term, "fresh ideas" tossed around. I don't want any fresh ideas. I want SOMEBODY to use some good old ideas, like low taxes, limited spending, limited pork, low national debt, strong defense, self-sufficiency, individual liberty, border security, and a free-market economy.
Here's a some fresh ideas to apply to our elected leaders: honesty, integrity, honor, accountability, and statesmanship. If somebody in any party embodied those values and espoused the "ideas" in the first list, we would have a leader. But until then, we have a battle between Republican crooks and Democrat crooks. Pick your poison.

Matt, I hear what you are saying and I agree, but when was the last time you saw a politician give us a straight answer, unfortunately they all speak with forked tongues,cliches, and the same catch phrases...as for the integrity part you are spot on, I was very disappointed in the actions and admissions of Sen. John Ensign ( Nev. R), I actively campaigned for the man, met him , supported him,but after his marital transgressions came out I dont think I could ever trust him again. I am just so fed up with politicians pandering for our votes but then doing whatever they or the special interest group that is funding them want them to do
I must be on ignore, becuase I explained precisely what is going on.
Face it, too many want thier handout!!
It will not change no matter who the chairman of the Republican party is!
There are just too many of them getting thier entitlements.
In fact, our President is a product of entitlements.
This is the new America.
Stan b & Elvis
After being in NYC last week I agree with that even more. So many there are doing nothing more than looking for a handout and dont even care about trying to get ahead. My daughter told me as were driving in Brooklyn to watch as we went past the housing projects for all the luxury cars. They call is Escalade land because there are so many parked on the street out side the subsidized housing. She was right, Lexus, Cadillac, Acura .a lot of really nice cars. We rode the subway and there was a group of women that got off where we did and walked to the housing projects carrying 3-5 big shopping bags each with big names on them . They had way more money to spend shopping that I did. Seems to me if you live in government funded housing shopping a Macys, Guess and Hugo Boss should not really be on you list, but they had bags stuffed full from those places. I am very sure that IF they vote they vote democrat because it is the gravy train party for them.

One has to love this map, not especially for the voting tabulation, but for the story it tells about the home of the "something-for-nothing-crowd" that resides in this nation.
Not unlike the racist fable of the 4 story building that burned down that killed all the blacks on the first floor, all the Mexicans on the 2nd floor, and all the Puerta Ricans on the third floor, but spared the three white couple living on the 4th floor. When Jesse and Al showed up full of rage asking how this could not be a crime against race, wondering how those whites were spared???? The answer of course was they were at work.
The two Dakotas are a good example, since I know their geography the best. Every blue county on that map in those states is on an Indian reservation, or encompasses the 'big' cities of those states, the exception being Rapid City. Not sure what the Democrats have done for the Indian, but they have been made to believe their life in squalor is being helped by that party, as they continue to remain 'kept'.
BTW, ACORN has nothing on the American Indian Movement when it comes to corruption, especially at the polling places. When Johnson was re-elected as Senator of SD in 2000, he had more votes from Pine Ridge reservation than there were registered voters...a clean sweep. Chicago has nothing on that 'machine'.
When Thune beat out Dashole, his organization was fully aware of his previous defeat, and how it was accomplished, and they didn't let that happen again. What a surprise when the highest ranked Democrat in the Senate, and the state of South Dakota went down in a 'fair fight'. Even The Casino $$$ didn't save him.

FRIDAY'S FAB FINDS! ✿ BAM Bridal Fair, Jump for My Love, Free Printables, and Cupcake Envy ✿ All in a Day's Wedding Blogging.
Strap in, here we go! RAPID FIRE
First things first: are you going to the Brooklyn Bridal Fair at BAM this Sunday at 2:00pm?
Jillian (of 100 Layer Cake) will be there, among others, showing off what I suspect will be some ab-fab tablescape ideas. The ladies over at 100 Layer Cake also clued us in to a pretty sweet discount code ("bambride") which slices 50% from the ticket price. Nice! (Get tickets.)
Speaking of the oh-so-talented Jillian, while perusing her site I clicked into what is truly a dessert table heaven, styled (OF COURSE) by Amy Atlas, and shot by Mel Barlow Photography…
And here's a wild card photo from Mel that I just HAD to show you. SO great. Bet you wish it was yours.
I think we need a little more dessert inspiration…
Thank you, Caroline Tran!
Oh, wait, no she didn't yes she did. More cupcake inspiration, comin' atcha. This time it's in the form of a free download from Ruffled, to create THE MOST adorable, teeny weeny pennants… for your teeny weeny treats! I just won't be able to get over this. I won't.
Go here to download the free love pennants! Haha, free love.
By the way, you can get this guy over there, too:
FYI: the amazing Carolynn from Two Brunettes made that. LOVE her.
Oh, hello the most beautiful bouquet I've seen in a week. I didn't see you there! So very nice to meet you…
{ via Kiss the Groom }
I'm freaking out over these amazing hand-lettered, blind printed save-the-dates (no, I will not call them stds) that I found over at the always inspiring Oh So Beautiful Paper, and which were created by Sam and Whitney of Gus and Ruby Letterpress. They are the definition of style and simplicity.
By the way, have I mentioned yet that I LUUUURVE engagement photos in MID-AIR? 'Cause I do. I love 'em.
JUMP! Fooor my looooove… JUMP IN!
I also love this, by definition.
And a lil o' this couldn't hurt…
So good, right? All five of those above are from Sweet Little Photographs. Good stuff, and a seriously cute couple of photogs, as well.
… Speaking of couples who snap together, I just had to share this splendid little list from Heather and Grayson of Jagger Photography…
I included this total randomness today because, save for that last one, I'd say I'm pretty much on the same page as these two when it comes down to what I love (and, in the case of no. 11, what I expect I will love), especially enough to list for public consumption on the internets. Ferrets, though? Even if I had one, I don't know that I would love it. And certainly not sufficiently enough to list the affection on my necessarily brief, highly edited 'loves' list. But today I'm all about celebrating differences. So case in point. Just 'cause I think ferrets are kind of icky, that doesn't mean they are icky. Let's hear it for personal preferences!

Hi all. First post.
Maybe someone can give me some insight on a new thing happening this year with the turkeys. The birds are staying way out from the decoys I put out at 20 yards. Its almost like they know their decoys. I watched a tom for 2 hours half circle far and wide from my ground blind. I finally got ticked and took a shot at over 60 yards. I got him after several shots, hit him every time but still had to finish it walking up to him because it was so far. Then went out with my son and same thing. The flock walked by at a distance headed for another hen and payed no attention to our decoys. He was able to get his tom but at over 50 yards. I like them no farther than 30 yards.
I call as needed but they ignore it.
Using one hen and one jake decoy as always.
We have been hunting turkeys for 6 years. This is the strangest behavior we have seen. In the past they have always responded and eventually come in to the decoys. Are they wising up? And if they are, whats next?

Add New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser to the list of conservatives who are quitting Donald Trump. "That's all folks! I'm out," she wrote in her Sunday column, saying that while "in my heart, I wanted the smack-talking, hair-challenged, self-absorbed New York City billionaire Republican to nail down this baby," after his recent antics, "I can no longer justify calling myself a Trumpkin." (Peyser had endorsed Trump in June 2015.) Trump is "a guy with the common touch, but the attention span of a flea," she wrote, and she thinks "Trump secretly doesn't want the prize."
That's all pretty mundane stuff, and Peyser is too colorful for mundane, so she threw in some details, based on her experience hanging out with Trump "many times over the years, professionally, socially, and in wacky combinations of the two." She described his sprawling, three-story penthouse as "like the palace of Louis XIV — if the French king mated with Liberace," for example, and dropped in this anecdote:
When I visited about two months after his lovely wife, Melania, now 46, gave birth to the couple's son, Barron, now 10, the infamous germophobe boasted that after fathering five children, he'd never changed a diaper. I enthused that Melania, who stood quietly nearby aboard 5-inch stilettos, had lost all her baby weight. Trump corrected me: "She's almost lost all the baby weight." I was embarrassed for the mother of his youngest kid, who ignored the dig. [New York Post]
So what? Fellow gossip and entertainment columnist Roger Friedman sees Peyser's un-endorsement of Trump as a sign that News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch is done with Trump, too. "Peyser can go over the top, and I disagree with her a lot, but she is the voice of the ring-wing Post," he writes at his Showbiz411 site. "She's also a woman. And a Murdoch soldier. If Murdoch didn't approve of this editorial, it wouldn't have been written." Peter Weber
Bill Nye the Science Guy says lawmakers are 'deliberately ignoring and actively suppressing science'
"Without scientifically literate citizens, the United States — any country, in fact — cannot compete on the world stage," Bill Nye the Science Guy told a cheering crowd at the March for Science in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. "Yet today we have a great many lawmakers — not just here, but around the world — deliberately ignoring and actively suppressing science. Their inclination is misguided, and in no one's best interest."
Nye touted the ways scientific discoveries have improved global quality of life, arguing that science is not merely "purview of a different, or special, type of citizen." "Our numbers here today show the world that science is for all," he said, and government must come to recognize that "science serves every one of us."
The Washington event where Nye spoke was one of more than 600 marches scheduled around the globe on Saturday. "I think the profession of science is under attack," said scientist Lucky Tran, who helped organize the rallies, in an interview with NPR. "We haven't engaged in politics, we've left that open for politicians to come in and really hijack and obfuscate science for their own selfish needs."

President Trump is planning 'a BIG rally in Pennsylvania' during the White House Correspondents' Dinner
President Trump announced in February he would skip the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which is scheduled for April 29. On Saturday, Trump tweeted his alternative plans for that day:
Next Saturday night I will be holding a BIG rally in Pennsylvania. Look forward to it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 22, 2017
The last president to miss the dinner was Ronald Reagan in 1981; he sent a phone message instead of appearing personally because he was recovering from an assassination attempt. Trump's decision to decline has been widely interpreted as retribution for press coverage he considers unfair. Bonnie Kristian
The United States will proceed with an agreement with Australia to help resettle refugees, Vice President Mike Pence pledged Saturday at joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in Sydney. The arrangement requires the U.S. to accept up to 1,250 refugees, many from Iran and Syria, from their present location in offshore detention centers in Australia. In return, Australia will accept refugees from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
"Let me make it clear that the United States intends to honor the agreement, subject to the result of the vetting process that has now applied to all refugees considered for admission to the United States of America," Pence said. "President Trump has made it clear that we'll honor the agreement, but it doesn't mean we admire the agreement."
Earlier this year, Trump suggested he might abandon the arrangement. "Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia," he tweeted in February. "Why? I will study this dumb deal!" Turnbull said Trump's willingness to honor the deal anyway "speaks volumes for the commitment, the integrity of President Trump." Bonnie Kristian
Eyewitnesses of an altercation between an American Airlines employee and a passenger say the flight attendant "violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby" and was then observed "hitting her and just missing the baby." The attendant has been suspended as the airline investigates.
Video filmed in the aftermath of the initial dispute, which reportedly concerned whether the stroller could come on the flight, shows the mother in tears and a male passenger arguing with the employee. "Hey bud, hey bud, you do that to me and I'll knock you flat!" the male passenger yells in one clip. "You stay out of this!" the attendant yells back, adding, "Hit me! Come on, hit me!"
"We are deeply sorry for the pain we have caused this passenger and her family and to any other customers affected by the incident," said an American Airlines statement. "The actions of our team member captured here do not appear to reflect patience or empathy, two values necessary for customer care."
This incident comes a little more than a week after United Airlines employees violently removed a passenger from a plane the company initially said was overbooked. United did not immediately apologize for its employees' behavior. Bonnie Kristian
Two Harvard researchers on Friday presented their discovery of a rare parchment manuscript of the Declaration of Independence discovered in a small town in southern England last year. "The Sussex Declaration," as the document has been dubbed, is believed to have been made in America in the 1780s. It is one of only two known parchment copies of the Declaration worldwide.

— Boston.com (@BostonDotCom) April 22, 2017
"I was just looking for copies of the Declaration of Independence in British archives," said researcher Emily Sneff, when she noticed a record office listing mentioned "parchment," suggesting a rare find. "I reached out to them a bit skeptically," Sneff recalled. "The description was a little vague, but once we saw an image and talked to a conservator we started to get excited."
The Sussex Declaration differs from the parchment copy at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., mainly in the order of the signers' names. In the Washington copy, the names are organized by state; in the Sussex copy, they are not. "The list of names was intentionally scrambled," Sneff suggested, "to drive home the point that the signers of the Declaration of Independence signed as individuals, as a community" rather than solely as representatives of states.

Large-scale, anti-government demonstrations continue in Venezuela Saturday in what opposition leaders have called the "mother of all marches." An estimated 22 people have been killed during the demonstrations, with 13 dying on Thursday alone. Most of Thursday's victims were killed while attempting to loot a bakery.
The socialist state is suffering massive shortages of food and medicine, as well as skyrocketing inflation. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has responded to popular uproar by attempting to consolidate his own power, and authorities have met protesters with cannons and tear gas.

Thousands of people are expected to protest Saturday in Washington, D.C., and in cities around the world in March for Science events timed for Earth Day.
The rallies are intended to promote popular interest in science, recognize scientific achievements, and protest the Trump administration's proposed cuts to research funding as well as policy-making around issues like climate change which marchers argue disregards the best available evidence. Some scientists have criticized the marches, expressing worry that science as a discipline will be negatively politicized.

Discord runs deep on new drilling rules
Hearing on proposed oil, gas regulations draws criticism and support for Pa. DEPJanuary 23, 2014 8:15 AM
Four members of the Department of Environmental Protection presided over a divided house Wednesday night at Washington & Jefferson College.
Every five minutes, either the left side of the room or the right would break into applause at the first southwestern Pennsylvania public hearing of the agency's proposed new oil and gas regulations.
Citizens who felt the regulations don't go far enough to control the shale gas industry in Pennsylvania outnumbered industry supporters at the meeting organized by the DEP's Environmental Quality Board.
The regulations are lengthy, but the same sections caught the attention of gas companies and their opponents. Among them is a provision dealing with companies' responsibility to remediate water impacted by their activities.
The DEP is proposing that drillers be required to restore the water to the state drinking water standard or to its pre-drill quality, whichever is better, and the industry opposes the idea. Companies say it's unfair to require them to improve the water beyond its pre-drill state. But most speakers urged the agency to require drillers to ensure impacted water is brought up to the federal safe drinking water standard, even it fell below that standard before gas activity began.
Many speakers opposed the use of open storage pits and the practice of burying drilling waste at the site of the well, which is allowed under the proposed standards. Some suggested that all well waste should be tested and potentially categorized as hazardous material.
Cynthia Walter of Greensburg took to the podium with an empty milk jug and urged the DEP to disregard what might be "inconvenient," "cumbersome" and deemed an "unnecessary burden" by oil and gas companies.
"Pennsylvania is fourth in the nation for milk production. Any contamination from frack water or beneficial reuse [and] this is at risk," she said pumping the milk jug into the air.
The proposed guidelines are the DEP's response to the environmental portions of Act 13, Pennsylvania's 2012 oil and gas law that imposed an impact fee on drillers and prescribed a spate of environmental restrictions on shale gas operations.
Some of the major changes proposed involve:
• Requiring operators to identify orphaned or abandoned wells within 1,000 feet of the well bore, monitor them and plug them if fracking somehow interferes with such wells.
• Allowing lined and fenced-in open pits only for temporary storage of solid waste.
• Protecting all tanks from unauthorized acts of third parties.
• Requiring freshwater impoundments to be lined and fenced in.
• Mandating secondary containment at all unconventional well sites, which would be inspected at least weekly.
The DEP released the regulations Dec. 14 and launched a 60-day public comment period that has already inspired more than 1,000 comments from stakeholders. On Wednesday, it extended the comment time until March 14.
Ron Alvarado, president of Robinson-based Novus Staffing Solutions, planned to come to Wednesday night's hearing to highlight small businesses that profit from the shale gas industry in the state and to caution the regulators not to stifle that development.
"As a citizen of the state of Pennsylvania, yeah, [the regulation] makes sense to me," he said before the meeting. "But I'm not an oil and gas company."
If those companies say the regulations will divert investment to other, more lax states, Mr. Alvarado believes them.
Many speakers praised the DEP's initiative to require drillers to locate and monitor abandoned wells, but some -- like John Walliser, vice president for legal and government affairs with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council -- wanted the agency to go a step further.
Drillers shouldn't just monitor these wells but should actively avoid or mitigate potential impacts on abandoned wells or natural faults underground, he said.
Mark Cline, a fourth-generation oil man with Bradford-based Cline Oil, has attended two EQB hearings so far and plans to speak at one being held in Indiana Township tonight, but couldn't make it to Washington to plead his case that conventional wells should be wholly excluded from these regulations.
"We're not the same as the Marcellus Shale industry," he said. "We're making the point that we've been here 150 years. We've been regulated to death."
Cline Oil has hundreds of active wells, none deeper than 2,000 feet. They trickle oil at small quantities -- not enough to pay for compliance with these regulations, he said.
DEP's proposed regulations do distinguish between conventional and unconventional development for some requirements. But for others, they appear neutral to the source of the fuel.
"The regulations would, in fact, in all probability, put the small conventional producers out of business," wrote Raymond Geary, executive director of continuing education and regional development at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
Some speakers gave their impressions of the industry or spoke from personal experience.
Gary Hovis, president of Hovis Oil Co. in Venango County, gave a brief history of fuel use and polled the audience on how many people walked to the meeting.
"Horse and buggy?" he said, looking around the room and drawing sparse chuckles.
Carmichaels resident Veronica Coptis answered the joke.
"How how many of you drank a glass of water today? How many of you took a breath of air?" she said. "If we don't have clean water and clean air, it really doesn't matter what type of transportation we use."
Correction (Posted Jan. 24, 2014) An earlier of this version incorrectly characterized the Department of Environmental Protection's proposed rules on how drilling companies deal with groundwater that's been impacted by their operations.

"…Be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly."
— The Beach Boys
High school hockey's undoubtably better today than it's ever been, but it doesn't have anywhere near the significance it once did in this town.
That's not a great surprise as times and situations have changed from days when school hockey, for the younger crowd, was the place to go, the place to be seen. It was a time when rooting for your school team was as automatic as exams and summer holidays.
I grew up attending the old St. John's High School League games at Memorial Stadium back in the 1960s, with teams such as St. Pat's, Holy Cross and Model, while teams such as St. Bon's, Prince of Wales Collegiate and Bishops College played in the intercollegiate league at Prince of Wales Arena.
The atmosphere at high school games back then was electric.
In those days, St. Pat's and Holy Cross had their own bands and they were situated in the seats with other adults while the school kids had to sit in the bleachers.
The crowds were loud and just about everyone wore a touque in school colours. I still recall hearing the drum roll every time a player would get a breakaway and the crash of cymbals if he scored. Schools encouraged their students to make up new cheers for the games.
The two leagues combined in 1962 and Brother Rice and Gonzaga high schools replaced St. Pat's and St. Bon's. They competed against Bishops College Barons, Prince of Wales Collegiate and Booth Memorial Braves at the Stadium and the games, especially the playoffs, drew huge crowds in the 1970s.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the amalgamation of the St. John's high school and intercollegiate leagues.
Anyway, by the late, 1960s teams had their own cheerleaders and the atmosphere for the afternoon games and later for the Friday night contests was impressive. Fans sat in their own specific part of the Stadium for every game.
Most of the students in those days went directly to the 4 p.m. games after school and hundreds of adults showed up for the second half of the game after they got off work. Later, the Friday-night games were a bit rowdier and there was an even mixture of students and adults.
There was also a pretty good rivalry between Bishops and Prince of Wales before they were the Cavaliers. School loyality, in terms of sports, probably peaked in those days.
There were some fights in the seats, but in most cases, they had little to do with the games and were more of a street rivalry with students that happened to be from mother schools than anything else.
One incident that's stayed in my mind involved a fight at a game between Gonzaga and Brother Rice.
The fight had nothing to do with the score of the game at the time. It was premeditated.
Word got around early in the week that a fight between fans of the Vikings and Celtics would happen at the 10-minute mark of the second period under the picture of the Queen.
Remember there were no cellphones, text messages or tweets in those days. It got around simply by word of mouth.
Sure enough, just after the 10-minute mark of the second frame and with most of the fans looking at the clock, about a half dozen spectators from the Brother Rice side of the ice got out of their seats as did an equal number of Vikings supporters on the other side of the ice. They met under the Queen and punches were thrown.
Prince of Wales and Brother Rice developed such a bitter rivalry and their fans came up with cheers so vulgar they can't be repeated here.
Gonzaga and Brother Rice students weren't permitted to smoke anywhere near their schools, so Memorial Stadium became a place to light up. There was no smoking restriction back then and the students took advantage of it.
A special Centennial Cup game between Gonzaga and Brother Rice high schools was instituted in 1967 to celebrate Canada's 100th birthday and the game was an immediate hit with the students of both teams. Supporters of the Vikings and Celtics packed balcony seats at Memorial Stadium for several years.
It evolved into the game your team had to win no matter where they finished in the standings on any given season. The schools put together motorcades prior to the game and while I'm a Rice man, I have to give a tip of the hat for Gonzaga having the best floats over the years.
Charlie Decker, convenor of the St. John's High School Hockey League for the past 40 years, tells me the Centennial Cup the teams played for is probably still in Room 127 at Brother Rice High School.
The league seemed to lose its lustre in the 1980s. It's never been as important within the community, and although there were some nasty fights among spectators after games in Mount Pearl many years ago, the hockey's never been the same in terms of fan interest.
These days. there's a St. John's league and a Metro league, with the teams from each circuit playing some inter-lock games as was the case Tuesday night when Gonzaga Vikings of the St. John's League took on St. Kevin's Mavericks of the Metro league at Goulds Arena.
Decker says high school games these days only draw 100-150 spectators. There were just under 100 fans at the Tuesday's game, which the Vikings won 6-3.
What I did notice was that today's high schoolers are, on average, a little bigger, skate better, shoot harder and the goalies look better trained. The small crowd was into the game and the players were enthusiastic as usual.
Andrew Powell scored twice to pace the Vikings win. Tyler Boland, Michael Connors, Ben Cleary and Cameron Dunne had the other goals. Jarrod Avery scored twice for the Mavericks and Adam Walsh had the other one.
Vikings' coach Bryan Cooper said his team's biggest rivalry the last few years has been against the Holy Heart Highlanders, but he says there are four or five really good teams when you consider the Metro League as well. He rates O'Donel of Mount Pearl and Ascension Collegiate as strong teams.
Cooper, who played for the Vikings from 2001 to 2004, said tournament play is more popular these days than specific games against rivals, but games against Holy Heart and O'Donel still draw pretty well. He also said the players still love to play for their high school clubs.
Cooper said he's noticed overall play has improved since he skated with the Vikings.
The high school league is watered down somewhat with players competing in other leagues However, he's found the calibre has been "pretty consistent." And, he noted there are at lest seven Vikings who also play major midget.
One thing the Vikings' coach has noticed is the improvement in goaltending.
"They are leaps and bounds ahead of when I played," said Cooper. "We've got three goaltenders on our team and I wouldn't hesitate to put in any one of them."
Meanwhile, Decker said there are a few of reasons why the interest has waned for hockey at the high school level of play.
He said there is far more hockey available to the kids in various leagues and levels such as midget AAA and the Doug Marshall league and he also cited the fact the games are played at night instead of right after school.
Decker also noted the rivalries were built up over the years because kids went to the same schools growing up. There was a feeder system to the high schools and it was based on religious affiliation. Nowadays, he said, kids go to any number of different schools, so there's little tradition.
That's a shame because those who remember the way it used to be have memories for a lifetime.

Artist Statement
Very brief CV – Asbjorn Lonvig
I was born in the first half of last century.
I'm a 49er. Not bad, especially not bad in San Francisco.
Not bad at all.
My grandchildren love Santa Claus. Some knows it's me, some don't.
I was born in the city of gable paintings Brande, Denmark. I even have made one myself.
In high school – it was in 1966 to 1968 - I was crazy about art. I visited the New Carlsberg Glyptotek, a museum in Copenhagen with works of Picassos, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne, Heni de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Vincent van Gogh.
However IT became my career choice.
In 1970s I joined one of the first groups of Software Engineer Trainees educated by IBM. IBM people from the Palo Alto Development Center went to Denmark to see how that young man in the early 20s had solved a non-solvable software problem.
I became manager of a medical IT-department, I started my own Software Company. I sold my Software Company in 1985 and became probably the first IT-millionaire in Denmark.
I became an artist 1 April 1986 at 2 p.m.
I managed to stay away from IT for some time.
In a French Art Magazine I read about the Internet's future impact on Art.
I immediately lunched a concept combining IT, the Internet and Art.
After that my English improved by receiving lots of nasty e-mails:
"You sir, are a disgrace to artists!", "…your painting make me feel sick by just looking at the colors". "You, my dear sir, are a low-life, not worthy your web space, and not at all the money you get", "dumbest shit", "plain shit", "old twat", "fucking stupid", "those pieces of shit", "ridiculous "sculptures"", "trash poem", "SHIT DOODLES", "ignorant idiot", "you don't know shit about art", "you have no talent", "old brain dead fat ass", "if anyone actually likes your work they are too ignorant to realize...", "go have a heart attack or something before you spread any more of this disgusting crap on earth".
In 2006 I was granted The World of Art Award (WAA) in London UK,
Juxtaposition 2006 in Rome, Italy and
International Graphic Design Award in Montreal, Canada.
In 2009 I was chosen as one of the 100 contemporary artists worldwide to be included in the Art Book Creative GENIUS.
These days I am designing a collection of motifs (the Paris, France 2010 collection) inspired by my stays in Paris, France. I'm working with inspiration by Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Paris - Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, Champs Élysées - Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Arch of Triumph - Arc de Triomphe, The Grande Arche de La Défense - La Grande Arche de La Défense, The Eiffel Tower - La Tour Eiffel, The Pompidou Centre - Centre Georges Pompidou, Red Mill or the "Red Windmill" - Moulin Rouge, Rosette - South Rose Window Notre Dame de Paris, City Flag of Paris, City Coate of Arms Paris, The sarcophagus of Napoleon Bonaparte Les Invalides - Le tombeau de Napoléon L'église Saint-Louis-des-Invalides, The new Bridge - Pont Neuf, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec - Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa, Mona Lisa - La Gioconda or La Joconde Hommage à Léonardo da Vincy, The Louvre Museum - Le Musee du Louvre, The Louvre Pyramid - Pyramide du Louvre, The Statue of Liberty - Statue de la Liberté, The City Hall - l'Hôtel de Ville, The Palace of Versailles (on UNESCO's World Heritage list) - Le Château de Versailles, The Versailles Orangery - L' Orangerie du Château de Versailles etc.
In Paris I thoroughly photographed each site. I have collected all the background material about each of the above landmarks that I could get hold of.

© estate of Fred Williams
In this work Williams suggests the beauty and subtlety of the landscape in delicate painterly washes approximating watercolours. These passages of luminous pastel colour are set against open spaces suggesting the disappearance of something that meant a lot to him. As he noted in 1967: 'There is more and more activity in the gully – there is a continual swing of the axe and chainsaw – I guess the prettiness cannot last much longer – and this makes me very sad – it is the reason we came to live here.'

It's a good thing Hasbro is releasing the TIE Bomber because the Interceptor does NOT deserve to wear the "POTJ" name. I'm not saying it's terrible, it's not, but it's really not up to the current standards. It's a reuse of the original TIE pod without the electronics with some of the same old sloppy design flaws that the original had (that hatch still sucks, even with the peg to hold it in place, and the cockpit w/ sticker is LAME), and the wings are a bit too loose -- heck, even the "cinema scene" style packaging doesn't really work here.
It could be a lot worse - it could be the POTF2 TIE Fighter - but as it stands, I think Hasbro didn't really do very well here and this toy should have come out as-is 2 years ago. Today, Hasbro has been increasing quality and shouldn't resort to toys like this.

Excellent service and support
SGF showed exemplary service and support with my Oakley TwoFace lenses. I had trouble getting the first set of replacement lenses to fit into the frames correctly. When I raised the issue I received very quick and friendly responses. I also received multiple sets of additional lenses with quick turn-around, including a set that were custom-sized for me. This was all done on trust that I would return the ones that didn't fit - which of course I did. it is always great to get the product you need at a good price, but it is uncommon to also get such quick, friendly and helpful service if you have an issue with the product. On this basis I would strongly recommend SDF as a company. Oh, and the lenses now fit and work really well to boot.

Fantastic product/service

Great find
The lenses on my favorite Mosley Tribes sunglasses were damaged and I was notvreadybtonpartvwith them. When searching online for a new pair I came across this site for replacement lenses. Worked out great. Lenses fit perfectly and look great. I was able to restore my favorite sunglasses for a tenth of the cost of new sunglasses. Love this company.

Excellent Customer Service
I originally ordered the wrong lenses by mistake but once I called Michelle she instantly put me at ease by sending a pre-paid return postage envelope to send my sunglasses in and they even installed the correct lenses for me. My "New" Sunnies are fantastic quality and the whole process was so easy because of Michelle's excellent customer service. I would recommend The Sunglass Fix to anyone looking for new quality lenses. The next time I scratch my lenses or damage them I will be emailing Michelle for another pair. Thank you so much for your outstanding service. Dave

Discontinued Polo Sunglasses
I have to admit I was a bit suspect that they would even work. I thought for $30 bucks I bet I had a 50% chance of them even fitting, but I took a chance. And I'm so happy i did! They are great! I can't believe I can tolerate wearing my $200+ glasses b/c I don't have a ton of scratches for only $30 bucks! Instructional videos were very helpful and they threw in a nice carrying case. I couldn't be more happier with my purchase. I will absolutely order all my replacement lenses from TSF. I will likely be ordering some Rayban Wayfarer lenses by fall!

The Solution I was looking for !!
I have a Carrera Safari, and the original lenses were too scratched. So I started looking for replacement polarized (originals are not polarized). The Sunglass Fix provides better lenses than the originals !!!
Cristobal Bianchi
Better than the original lenses
I received these placement lenses for my Ray Bans pretty quickly (coming from Australia to US) and only cost me $54 US dollars. I have the metal frames but the lenses attached through the front of the lens to the frame. They are polarized and the color matched exactly as the originals. I felt that they were a much better quality lens than what came in the original sunglasses, a little thicker but fit into the frames beautifully. It only took me about 20 min from start to finish only because I didn't want to lose any original screws. I would highly recommend Sunglass Fix because they definitely not be disappointed!
New York
Another Great transaction
This is my 2nd purchase from TSGF. I purchase replacement lenses for my Electric Sunglasses OHM III. I went for polarised & once again believe these to exceed the OEM lenses at a very good price. Always happy to support an AUSTRALIAN Company that manufactures quality products.
Darren Klarich
Better than new
I ordered replacement lenses for my Arnette Ravens. Good communication, reasonable delivery time to NZ and the lenses popped right in. It was like having new sunglasses for $35. The lenses are very clear, better I think than the originals which had a coating that started coming off. I would happily recommend.
Murray A
Added Benefit of being Polarised
Thanks for replacing the lenses on my YSL sunglasses. For the price paid the lenses are an almost exact match to the original with the added benefit of being Polarised. The turnaround time was also super quick I would happily recommend the Sunglass Fix to my family and friends.
Oakley Straight Jacket
Saved my Oakley Straight Jacket, AND gave me the colour combination I've always wanted with these frames! Excellent value for money and service.

Great value and snappy service
It is good to be back, thanks for the bespoke lens fitting into these favourite old frames. The speedy service and queries returned in email have been much appreciated. See you on-line soon for the next pair. Kind Regards, Rodney

Electric 'BIG BEAT' Sun-glass Replacement Lenses
Hi all I looked at a number of US replacement suppliers then came across 'Sunglassfix'. I purchased them via the website, they came well packed and FAST. The lenses were a perfect fit and I believe EXCEED the OEM Lenses I replaced. In comparing them with my other pair of new OEM Big Beats the 'SUNGLASSFIX' replacements were IMHO better, in terms of glare reduction, darkness & clarity. Will definitely buy from them again and above all they are an AUSTRALIAN made product.

Better than Originals
Can't recommend these guys highly enough. Excellent quality lenses. Great lens options, colour, model, tint, and even polarized. Easy to fit. Fast postage. Great communication and order tracking. Professional packaging and fastidious attention to detail. I transformed x2 pairs of Arnette glasses to new condition, in my opinion, better than the originals.

Exact Replacement, Save $$$
I've been purchasing Sunglass Fix lenses for my Smith sunglasses for a number of years now. I'm hard on sunglass lenses and it was getting VERY expensive buying new $150 sunglasses every year. Thank goodness I discovered Sunglass Fix. The replacement lenses pop right in and are the exact matching replacement for my scratched, abused lenses. I've saved hundreds of dollars vs buying new, I highly recommend giving Sunglass Fix a try...you will NOT be disappointed.

Parker, Arizona
Very happy with purchase
After seeing how much Oakley charged for replacement lenses I decided to give these a try. I was a little wary, living in the UK , of the distances involved but there was no need as the lenses arrived as promised. They look about 30 seconds to fit and the sunglasses are now as new. Would highly recommend.

Oakley Why 8.1
I've had my Oakley why 8.1 for well over 10 years now and Oakley no longer produce anything for replacement on them I came across sunglass fix where I saw their range of lenses I ordered the polarised gradient lenses the fitment was perfect but I encountered a problem where by the rubber washers that help pin everything into place were perished after a brief email and some pictures sunglass fix (Aaron I believe the technician was) couldn't have been any more help full and sent me some plastic/nylon washers that did the trick perfectly! I can't rate these guys enough postage wasn't too bad 3 weeks if memory serves which isn't bad from Australia to the UK. THANKS GUYS!

Awesome! Saved my Oakley Inmates
I'm so happy I found Sunglasssfix... I was almost going to give up on my beloved Inmates, and Oakley themselves said they couldn't give me replacement lenses, but could sell me some new glasses. But then I found the Sunlgassfix website. I wasn't sure initially, but took the plunge. I had some initial questions which I posted to the website, and I got a prompt helpful reply... always a good start! And today the lenses arrived. Took a bit to get the old ones out, but it was so easy to install the new lenses. And they're fantastic! My glasses look like new again. Would I recommend Sunglassfix... absolutely, without hesitation. Reece, Auckland, NZ.
Reece Mitchell
Highly recommended
Just received my replacement lenses for Ray Bans 4191. Very quick delivery. Lenses were easy to install thanks to instruction video. Colour is near perfect match to original. So glad that I opted for Sunglass Fix instead of buying a pricey new pair!
Happy Customer
I am so happy to have been able to replace the lens' in my Zorg Von Zipper sunglasses as I was about to purchase a new pair which would have been costly and a waste of a good frame. The Sunglasses Fix customer service was excellent, delivery quick and installation video easy to follow. I would recommend Sunglasses Fix to anyone not only for service & quality but the fact that we are reducing plastic going into land fill.

Fantastic Company!
I have never experienced customer service like this. Michelle and Aron are the best. They don't just talk about customer service they provide the ultimate customer service! I kept getting lenses that did not fit the screw holes but they did not give up until they got it right. Bottom line I ordered a second set of lenses because I have two frames. They have my confidence and have earned my business. Do not hesitate to do business with them! Thank you so much.

REVO Lenses
Had a pair of Revo sunglasses where the lenses seemed to be etched by something - got a replacement pair of lenses for less than £30! If I had sent them to Revo they just offer a discount on another pair - this is what happened to my previous Revos where the coating started to thin. As my current pair retail at £240 approx. I would recommend the Sunglass Fix route to anyone with a similar problem.
Deal, Kent, UK
Excellent quality and fast shipping!
I just received my Oakley Frogskins lenses today and I am more than satisfied with it. They are polarised so they are even better than the original ones. I inadvertently ordered the wrong onse so they sent out the right one straight away without any hassles. They also sent a reply paid envelope for free. Well done sunglass fix! I will definitely be recommending you to my friends.

Thanks so much fixing my mistake and sending me the correct lenses without any question and cost. Your service is phenomenal and the lenses fit as a glove on my ray-Ban. I strongly recommend, even to US, your products. You rock!!!
Somerville - MA - USA
Great selection and service
I normally don't write reviews but thought it was appropriate for what these people did to accomidate me. I had ordered lenses for a pair of glasses that were at least 5-6 years old (was amazed they had lenses at all for them) and they were sent out. After several weeks I still had not received them so a quick email was all that was needed. They said they had sent them out and I should have received them already but sent out a new pair immediately with the verbal promise to simply return the first pair if they ever showed up in my mail box. I got the new lenses, they were a perfect fit and still have not received the first pair but will send them back if they ever do arrive. Thanks for the great service.
Maple Valley, Wa USA
Best service/quality lenses/saved me a fortune/quick n easy install
At first I wasn't sure what to do with my peeling Prada lenses. I was contemplating throwing them in the bin & buying a brand new pair which would have cost $400+. Then out of nowhere thesunglassfix came dripping from the lense clouds by the glasses gods. Michelle was a pleasure to deal with via email and phone - A+ for customer service. The lenses came within the time frame suggested - A+ for delivery. The quality of the lenses and it's accurate description from the website was spot on - A+ for quality. Last but not least, the installation video was so helpful and easy to understand - A+ for DIY assistance. I have already recommended your service to my peers in the event their lenses need replacing. Thank you so much guys!!!!!!!

Rayban Resurrection!
After wearing my fav Rayban glasses for 10 years, one day The protective coating on one of The lenses bubbled and peeled off. Found The Sunglass Fix online and even though the were located on the other side of the planet I gave them a shot. I'm very happy to say the lenses came quickly and fit like a charm. Great job Sunglass Fix, I will use you again!

Perfect Solution!
Who knew you could simply replace old, scratched lenses on your sunglasses? I have an older pair of Chanel sunglasses that I think are no longer made. Not only did this bring new life to my old sunglasses it was MUCH cheaper! I was nervous about switching out the lenses but it was totally easy - the instructional video was very helpful regarding pressure points on the frame. Have recommended to all my friends!
