- Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially fatal contagious disease that can affect almost any part of the body but is mainly an infection of the lungs. It is caused by a bacterial microorganism, the tubercle bacillus or Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although TB can be treated, cured, and can be prevented if persons at risk take certain drugs, scientists have never come close to wiping it out. Few diseases have caused so much distressing illness for centuries and claimed so many lives.
Tuberculosis was popularly known as consumption for a long time. Scientists know it as an infection caused by M. tuberculosis. In 1882, the microbiologist Robert Koch discovered the tubercle bacillus, at a time when one of every seven deaths in Europe was caused by TB. Because antibiotics were unknown, the only means of controlling the spread of infection was to isolate patients in private sanitoria or hospitals limited to patients with TB—a practice that continues to this day in many countries. The net effect of this pattern of treatment was to separate the study of tuberculosis from mainstream medicine. Entire organizations were set up to study not only the disease as it affected individual patients, but its impact on the society as a whole. At the turn of the twentieth century more than 80% of the population in the United States were infected before age 20, and tuberculosis was the single most common cause of death. By 1938 there were more than 700 TB hospitals in this country.
Tuberculosis spread much more widely in Europe when the industrial revolution began in the late nineteenth century. The disease became widespread somewhat later in the United States, because the movement of the population to large cities made overcrowded housing so common. When streptomycin, the first antibiotic effective against M. tuberculosis, was discovered in the early 1940s, the infection began to come under control. Although other more effective anti-tuberculosis drugs were developed in the following decades, the number of cases of TB in the United States began to rise again in the mid-1980s. This upsurge was in part again a result of overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in the poor areas of large cities, prisons, and homeless shelters. Infected visitors and immigrants to the United States also contributed to the resurgence of TB. An additional factor is the AIDS epidemic. AIDS patients are much more likely to develop tuberculosis because of their weakened immune systems. There still are an estimated 8 to 10 million new cases of TB each year worldwide, causing roughly 3 million deaths.
High-risk populations
THE ELDERLY. Tuberculosis is more common in elderly persons. More than one-fourth of the nearly 23,000 cases of TB reported in the United States in 1995 developed in people above age 65. Many elderly patients developed the infection some years ago when the disease was more widespread. There are additional reasons for the vulnerability of older people: those living in nursing homes and similar facilities are in close contact with others who may be infected. The aging process itself may
RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS. TB also is more common in blacks, who are more likely to live under conditions that promote infection. As the end of the century approaches, two-thirds of all cases of TB in the United States affect African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and persons from the Pacific Islands. Another one-fourth of cases affect persons born outside the United States. As of 1992, the risk of TB was still increasing in all these groups.
LIFESTYLE FACTORS. The high risk of TB in AIDS patients extends to those infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have not yet developed clinical signs of AIDS. Alcoholics and intravenous drug abusers are also at increased risk of contracting tuberculosis. Until the economic and social factors that influence the spread of tubercular infection are remedied, there is no real possibility of completely eliminating the disease.
Tuberculosis spreads by droplet infection. This type of transmission means that when a TB patient exhales, coughs, or sneezes, tiny droplets of fluid containing tubercle bacilli are released into the air. This mist, or aerosol as it is often called, can be taken into the nasal passages and lungs of a susceptible person nearby. Tuberculosis is not, however, highly contagious compared to some other infectious diseases. Only about one in three close contacts of a TB patient, and fewer than 15% of more remote contacts, are likely to become infected. As a rule, close, frequent, or prolonged contact is needed to spread the disease. Of course, if a severely infected patient emits huge numbers of bacilli, the chance of transmitting infection is much greater. Unlike many other infections, TB is not passed on by contact with a patient's clothing, bed linens, or dishes and cooking utensils. The most important exception is pregnancy. The fetus of an infected mother may contract TB by inhaling or swallowing the bacilli in the amniotic fluid.
Once inhaled, tubercle bacilli may reach the small breathing sacs in the lungs (the alveoli), where they are taken up by cells called macrophages. The bacilli multiply within these cells and then spread through the lymph vessels to nearby lymph nodes. Sometimes the bacilli move through blood vessels to distant organs. At this point they may either remain alive but inactive (quiescent), or they may cause active disease. Actual tissue damage is not caused directly by the tubercle bacillus, but by the reaction of the person's tissues to its presence. In a matter of weeks the host develops an immune response to the bacillus. Cells attack the bacilli, permit the initial damage to heal, and prevent future disease permanently.
Infection does not always mean disease; in fact, it usually does not. At least nine of ten patients who harbor M. tuberculosis do not develop symptoms or physical evidence of active disease, and their x-rays remain negative. They are not contagious; however, they do form a pool of infected patients who may get sick at a later date and then pass on TB to others. It is thought that more than 90% of cases of active tuberculosis come from this pool. In the United States this group numbers 10 to 15 million persons. Whether or not a particular infected person will become ill is impossible to predict with certainty. An estimated 5% of infected persons get sick within 12–24 months of being infected. Another 5% heal initially but, after years or decades, develop active tuberculosis either in the lungs or elsewhere in the body. This form of the disease is called reactivation TB, or post-primary disease. On rare occasions a previously infected person gets sick again after a later exposure to the tubercle bacillus.
Pulmonary tuberculosis
Pulmonary tuberculosis is TB that affects the lungs. Its initial symptoms are easily confused with those of other diseases. An infected person may at first feel vaguely unwell or develop a cough blamed on smoking or a cold. A small amount of greenish or yellow sputum may be coughed up when the person gets up in the morning. In time, more sputum is produced that is streaked with blood. Persons with pulmonary TB do not run a high fever, but they often have a low-grade one. They may wake up in the night drenched with cold sweat when the fever breaks. The patient often loses interest in food and may lose weight. Chest pain is sometimes present. If the infection allows air to escape from the lungs into the chest cavity (pneumothorax) or if fluid collects in the pleural space (pleural effusion), the patient may have difficulty breathing. If a young adult develops a pleural effusion, the chance of tubercular infection being the cause is very high. The TB bacilli may travel from the lungs to lymph nodes in the sides and back of the neck. Infection in these areas can break through the skin and discharge pus. Before the development of effective antibiotics, many patients became chronically ill with increasingly severe lung symptoms. They lost a great deal of weight and developed a wasted appearance. This outcome is uncommon today—at least where modern treatment methods are available.
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis
Although the lungs are the major site of damage caused by tuberculosis, many other organs and tissues in the body may be affected. The usual progression is for the disease to spread from the lungs to locations outside the lungs (extrapulmonary sites). In some cases, however, the first sign of disease appears outside the lungs. The many tissues or organs that tuberculosis may affect include:
- Bones. TB is particularly likely to attack the spine and the ends of the long bones. Children are especially prone to spinal tuberculosis. If not treated, the spinal segments (vertebrae) may collapse and cause paralysis in one or both legs.
- Kidneys. Along with the bones, the kidneys are probably the commonest site of extrapulmonary TB. There may, however, be few symptoms even though part of a kidney is destroyed. TB may spread to the bladder. In men, it may spread to the prostate gland and nearby structures.
- Female reproductive organs. The ovaries in women may be infected; TB can spread from them to the peritoneum, which is the membrane lining the abdominal cavity.
- Abdominal cavity. Tuberculous peritonitis may cause pain ranging from the vague discomfort of stomach cramps to intense pain that may mimic the symptoms of appendicitis.
- Joints. Tubercular infection of joints causes a form of arthritis that most often affects the hips and knees. The wrist, hand, and elbow joints also may become painful and inflamed.
- Meninges. The meninges are tissues that cover the brain and the spinal cord. Infection of the meninges by the TB bacillus causes tuberculous meningitis, a condition that is most common in young children but is especially dangerous in the elderly. Patients develop headaches, become drowsy, and eventually comatose. Permanent brain damage is the rule unless prompt treatment is given. Some patients with tuberculous meningitis develop a tumor-like brain mass called a tuberculoma that can cause stroke-like symptoms.
- Skin, intestines, adrenal glands, and blood vessels. All these parts of the body can be infected by M. tuberculosis. Infection of the wall of the body's main artery (the aorta), can cause it to rupture with catastrophic results. Tuberculous pericarditis occurs when the membrane surrounding the heart (the pericardium) is infected and fills up with fluid that interferes with the heart's ability to pump blood.
- Miliary tuberculosis. Miliary TB is a life-threatening condition that occurs when large numbers of tubercle bacilli spread throughout the body. Huge numbers of tiny tubercular lesions develop that cause marked weakness and weight loss, severe anemia, and gradual wasting of the body.
Diseases similar to tuberculosis
There are many forms of mycobacteria other than M. tuberculosis, the tubercle bacillus. Some cause infections that may closely resemble tuberculosis, but they usually do so only when an infected person's immune system is defective. People who are HIV-positive are a prime example. The most common mycobacteria that infect AIDS patients are a group known as Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). People infected by MAC are not contagious, but they may develop a serious lung infection that is highly resistant to antibiotics. MAC infections typically start with the patient coughing up mucus. The infection progresses slowly, but eventually blood is brought up and the patient has trouble breathing. In AIDS patients, MAC disease can spread throughout the body, with anemia, diarrhea, and stomach pain as common features. Often these patients die unless their immune system can be strengthened. Other mycobacteria grow in swimming pools and may cause skin infection. Some of them infect wounds and artificial body parts such as a breast implant or mechanical heart valve.
The diagnosis of TB is made on the basis of laboratory test results. The standard test for tuberculosis—which is the so-called tuberculin skin test—detects the presence of infection, not of active TB. Tuberculin is an extract prepared from cultures of M. tuberculosis. It contains substances belonging to the bacillus (antigens) to which an infected person has been sensitized. When tuberculin is injected into the skin of an infected person, the area around the injection becomes hard, swollen, and red within one to three days. Today skin tests utilize a substance called purified protein derivative (PPD) that has a standard chemical composition and is therefore is a good measure of the presence of tubercular infection. The PPD test is also called the Mantoux test. The Mantoux PPD skin test is not, however, 100% accurate; it can produce false positive as well as false negative results. What these terms mean is that some people who have a skin reaction are not infected (false positive) and that some who do not react are in fact infected (false negative). The PPD test is, however, useful as a screener. Anyone who has suspicious findings on a chest x ray, or any condition that makes TB more likely should have a PPD test. In addition, those in close contact with a TB patient and persons who come from a country where TB is common also should be tested,
Because the symptoms of TB cover a wide range of severity and affected body parts, diagnosis on the basis of external symptoms is not always possible. Often, the first indication of TB is an abnormal chest x-ray or other test result rather than physical discomfort. On a chest x ray, evidence of the disease appears as numerous white, irregular areas against a dark background, or as enlarged lymph nodes. The upper parts of the lungs are most often affected. A PPD test is always done to show whether the patient has been infected by the tubercle bacillus. To verify the test results, the physician obtains a sample of sputum or a tissue sample (biopsy) for culture. Three to five sputum samples should be taken early in the morning. If necessary, sputum for culture can be produced by spraying salt solution into the windpipe. Culturing M. tuberculosis is useful for diagnosis because the bacillus has certain distinctive characteristics. Unlike many other types of bacteria, mycobacteria can retain certain dyes even when exposed to acid. This so-called acid-fast property is characteristic of the tubercle bacillus.
Body fluids other than sputum can be used for culture. If TB has invaded the brain or spinal cord, culturing a sample of spinal fluid will make the diagnosis. If TB of the kidneys is suspected because of pus or blood in the urine, culture of the urine may reveal tubercular infection. Infection of the ovaries in women can be detected by placing a tube having a light on its end (a laparoscope) into the area. Samples also may be taken from the liver or bone marrow to detect the tubercle bacillus.
Supportive care
In the past, treatment of TB was primarily supportive. Patients were kept in isolation, encouraged to rest, and fed well. If these measures failed the lung was collapsed
Drug therapy
Most patients with TB can recover if given appropriate medication for a sufficient length of time. Three principles govern modern drug treatment of TB:
- Lowering the number of bacilli as quickly as possible. This measure minimizes the risk of transmitting the disease. When sputum cultures become negative, this has been achieved. Conversely, if the sputum remains positive after five to six months, treatment has failed.
- Preventing the development of drug resistance. For this reason, at least two different drugs and sometimes three are always given at first. If drug resistance is suspected, at least two different drugs should be tried.
- Long-term treatment to prevent relapse.
Five drugs are most commonly used today to treat tuberculosis: isoniazid (INH, Laniazid, Nydrazid); rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane); pyrazinamide (Tebrazid); streptomycin; and ethambutol (Myambutol). The first three drugs may be given in the same capsule to minimize the number of pills in the dosage. As of 1998, many patients are given INH and rifampin together for six months, with pyrazinamide added for the first two months. Hospitalization is rarely necessary because many patients are no longer infectious after about two weeks of combination treatment. Follow-up involves monitoring of side effects and monthly sputum tests. Of the five medications, INH is the most frequently used drug for both treatment and prevention.
Surgical treatment of TB may be used if medications are ineffective. There are three surgical treatments for pulmonary TB: pneumothorax, in which air is introduced into the chest to collapse the lung; thoracoplasty, in which one or more ribs are removed; and removal of a diseased lung, in whole or in part. It is possible for patients to survive with one healthy lung. Spinal TB may result in a severe deformity that can be corrected surgically.
The prognosis for recovery from TB is good for most patients, if the disease is diagnosed early and given prompt treatment with appropriate medications on a long-term regimen. Modern surgical methods have a good outcome in most cases in which they are needed. Miliary tuberculosis is still fatal in many cases but is rarely seen today in developed countries. Even in cases
General measures
General measures such as avoidance of overcrowded and unsanitary conditions are also necessary aspects of prevention. Hospital emergency rooms and similar locations can be treated with ultraviolet light, which has an antibacterial effect.
Vaccination is one major preventive measure against TB. A vaccine called BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, named after its French developers) is made from a weakened mycobacterium that infects cattle. Vaccination with BCG does not prevent infection by M. tuberculosis but it does strengthen the immune system of first-time TB patients. As a result, serious complications are less likely to develop. BCG is used more widely in developing countries than in the United States. The effectiveness of vaccination is still being studied; it is not clear whether the vaccine's effectiveness depends on the population in which it is used or on variations in its formulation.
Prophylactic use of isoniazid
INH can be given for the prevention as well as the treatment of TB. INH is effective when given daily over a period of 6 to 12 months to people in high-risk categories. INH appears to be most beneficial to persons under the age of 25. Because INH carries the risk of side-effects (liver inflammation, nerve damage, changes in mood and behavior), it is important to give it only to persons at special risk.
High-risk groups for whom isoniazid prevention may be justified include:
- close contacts of TB patients, including health care workers
- newly infected patients whose skin test has turned positive in the past two years
- anyone who is HIV-positive with a positive PPD skin test; isoniazid may be given even if the PPD results are negative if there is a risk of exposure to active tuberculosis
- intravenous drug users, even if they are negative for HIV
- persons with positive PPD results and evidence of old disease on the chest x-ray who have never been treated for TB
- patients who have an illness or are taking a drug that can suppress the immune system
- persons with positive PPD results who have had intestinal surgery; have diabetes or chronic kidney failure; have any type of cancer; or are more than 10% below their ideal body weight
- people from countries with high rates of TB who have positive PPD results
- people from low-income groups with positive skin test results
- persons with a positive PPD reaction who belong to high-risk ethnic groups (African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders)

Florence Barbara Seibert was born on October 6, 1897, in Easton, Pennsylvania, the second of three children. She was the daughter of George Peter Seibert, a rug manufacturer and merchant, and Barbara (Memmert) Seibert. At the age of three she contracted polio. Despite her resultant handicaps, she completed high school, with the help of her highly supportive parents, and entered Goucher College in Baltimore, where she studied chemistry and zoology. She graduated in 1918, then worked under the direction of one of her chemistry teachers, Jessie E. Minor, at the Chemistry Laboratory of the Hammersley Paper Mill in Garfield, New Jersey. She and her professor, having responded to the call for women to fill positions vacated by men fighting in World War I, coauthored scientific papers on the chemistry of cellulose and wood pulps.
A biochemist who received her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1923, Florence B. Seibert is best known for her research in the biochemistry of tuberculosis. She developed the protein substance used for the tuberculosis skin test. The substance was adopted as the standard in 1941 by the United States and a year later by the World Health Organization. In addition, in the early 1920s, Seibert discovered that the sudden fevers that sometimes occurred during intravenous injections were caused by bacteria in the distilled water that was used to make the protein solutions. She invented a distillation apparatus that prevented contamination. This research had great practical significance later when intravenous blood transfusions became widely used in surgery. Seibert authored or coauthored more than a hundred scientific papers. Her later research involved the study of bacteria associated with certain cancers. Her many honors include five honorary degrees, induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, New York (1990), the Garvan Gold Medal of the American Chemical Society (1942), and the John Elliot Memorial Award of the American Association of Blood Banks (1962).
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)—A vaccine made from a damaged bacillus akin to the tubercle bacillus, which may help prevent serious pulmonary TB and its complications.
Mantoux test—Another name for the PPD test.
Miliary tuberculosis—The form of TB in which the bacillus spreads through all body tissues and organs, producing many thousands of tiny tubercular lesions. Miliary TB is often fatal unless promptly treated.
Mycobacteria—A group of bacteria that includes Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, and other forms that cause related illnesses.
Pneumothorax—Air inside the chest cavity, which may cause the lung to collapse. Pneumothorax is both a complication of pulmonary tuberculosis and a means of treatment designed to allow an infected lung to rest and heal.
Pulmonary—Refers to the lungs.
Purified protein derivative (PPD)—An extract of tubercle bacilli that is injected into the skin to find out whether a person presently has or has ever had tuberculosis.
Resistance—A property of some bacteria that have been exposed to a particular antibiotic and have "learned" how to survive in its presence.
Sputum—Secretions produced in the infected lung and coughed up. A sign of illness, sputum is routinely used as a specimen for culturing the tubercle bacillus in the laboratory.
Tuberculoma—A tumor-like mass in the brain that sometimes develops as a complication of tuberculous meningitis.

Posted on 09 / 12 / 2012I had read about this place on happycow, and here's my Assinatura review.
There's no sign outside that tells you the food is "vegetarian" and the owner will tell you that most of the patrons are not vegetarians, but once they come in, they keep coming back.
I eat 4 course tasting menu vegeterian (42€)and my husband a 5 course tasting menu (51€) with fish and meat. Great flavours, first class products, great wines. 10 out of 10. I great experince to repeat
Pros: excellent foos, attentive service

A Scotland assistant superintendent said he is excited about the chance to head Clinton City schools.
Stuart Blount was hired by the Clinton City School Board during a called meeting Sunday, officials confirmed Monday. The selection was said to be unanimous.
Blount, who attended the special meeting with his wife Toni and their three children — Jacob, Nick and Anna — said he and his family were excited about the opportunity to join Clinton City Schools
"This was truly a family decision," Blount said. "We honestly believe this is a community where we want to raise our children. We are blessed to be here."
Blount's new annual salary will be $141,823. He is currently paid about $110,000 a year. His contract is four years.
Blount, 46, who serves as Scotland's assistant superintendent of auxiliary services, will begin the new job on July 1, according to Scotland school system spokesman Andy Cagle.
He was one of 23 applicants for the job, according to The Sampson Independent. Of those, 16 were from inside North Carolina and seven from out-of-state. Blount replaces Superintendent Dr. Michael Basham, who is retiring.
"This is a great time for Clinton City Schools and the Blount family," said board Chairman E.R. Mason told the Sampson Independent newspaper. "The board is very confident in the abilities of Mr. Blount to enhance our entire school system."
Blount, a native of Camden County, came to Scotland County in January 2010. He was responsible for several areas of the school system, including human resources, administrative services and policies.
"Stuart has been an asset to Scotland County Schools during his time here. Auxiliary services has become much more effective and efficient under Stuart's leadership. He will be hard to replace," said school Superintendent Rick Stout. "I wish him the best as he takes this next step in his career. Clinton City Schools made a great choice."
Blount spent 12 years as a principal and also worked as an assistant principal and a teacher.
"I'm happy for him," Cagle said, "but I hate that he is leaving. He has done an excellent job and I really enjoyed working with him."

My kids love to color and create art projects. We make some sort of project just about every day here. When I heard about the My First Crayola products I knew they would be perfect for my little artists. The My First Crayola line includes specially designed art supplies and activities for children as young as 12 months and features three inspiring ways through which little hands can create – with art tools, mess-free activities and creative activities that feature dry-erase crayons and music.
Aiden was VERY excited to dig into the My First Crayola supplies and start creating. I was excited to watch his imagination in action. When you encourage your children to grow and develop through their first art experiences, some very important developmental milestones happen. Large and fine motor skills like hand-eye coordination begin to develop, as well as self-confidence and early literacy skills. As significant as their first words, a child's first scribbles represent the beginning of their journey for symbolic communication that's needed to develop reading and writing skills.
My First CrayolaTM Washable Crayons, Markers and Stampers are designed to fit neatly in a toddler's palm, and are just the right size and shape for a child to create their first artistic expression. For children age 12 mos +.
Danika was equally excited and got to work immediately on a very important project. The kids loved the Triangular Crayons & Washable Markers. I love that they are washable!
My First Crayola art tools progress from easy-to-grasp washable crayons, marker holders and stampers, to triangular shaped crayons that guide a child's hand into a proper writing grip. The shape also makes it easier for little ones to draw in a more purposeful and controlled way. For children age 24 mos +.
I am LOVING the mess free activities. They are so cool and my kids don't even realize they are mess free they just love seeing the cool transformation take place.
This mama is a HUGE fan of the My First Crayola product line and it's something we use in our house on almost a daily basis. I highly encourage you to check out their products and find some your toddler will love! It's a great way to get their little wheels turning in their head and inspire them to create a masterpiece!

Halloween (2007)
Director : Rob Zombie
Screenplay : Rob Zombie (based on a film written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2007
Stars : Malcolm McDowell (Dr. Samuel Loomis), Scout Taylor-Compton (Laurie Strode), Brad Dourif (Sheriff Lee Brackett), Tyler Mane (Michael Myers), Daeg Faerch (Michael Myers, age 10), Sheri Moon Zombie (Deborah Myers), William Forsythe (Ronnie White), Danny Trejo (Ismael Cruz), Danielle Harris (Annie Brackett), Skyler Gisondo (Tommy Doyal), Jenny Gregg Stewart (Lindsey Wallace), Hanna Hall (Judith Myers), Dee Wallace (Cynthia Strode)
In yet another needless retread of a classic '70s American horror movie, rocker-turned-director Rob Zombie's prequel-cum-remake of John Carpenter's Halloween does its best to distort everything that worked in the original in its bid for "improvement." Where Carpenter's 1978 classic was a bare-bones primal thriller that worked precisely because it wasn't weighed down with heavy-handed explanation and motivation, Zombie turns his version into a long slog through cliché psychological explication, in essence explaining why the hulking Michael Myers is the way he is (apparently, Zombie didn't pay attention to the borefest that was Hannibal Rising, another needless foray into the reasoning behind one of pop culture's great psycho-villains).
In the process, Zombie tears down the small-town banality that made the original Halloween so memorable. Fascinated with everything grimy and tactless (he has a special affinity for long greasy hair on virtually every character), Zombie turns the fictional Haddonfield, Illinois, once the very epitome of heartland banality, into another trashy freakshow (when he later tries to present it as Normal Town, U.S.A., it's too late--the damage is done). If Carpenter's film planted the idea that the worst evil could emerge in the dullest of families, a truly frightening concept, Zombie's film reassures us that psychos only emerge from shabby depravity, which makes his Halloween the very essence of reactionary conservatism.
Unfortunately, this means we have to begin the film in Zombie's reimagined Myers household, which is defined primarily by greasy family members shrieking obscenities at each other. The family is led by Deborah (Sheri Moon Zombie), a semi-sympathetic stripper whose husband (William Forsythe) is a callous brute whose already poison-bitter personality is not improved by his being in a wheelchair. The oldest daughter, Judith (Hanna Hall), is already well on her way to being a burden on society, while 10-year-old Michael (Daeg Faerch) quietly kills animals upstairs while enduring torment from his older sister and stepdad. When Michael finally begins killing people, his first victims are all previous aggressors who victimized him, so does this mean Zombie wants us to have sympathy for him? It seems that way, but once 15 years have passed, Michael has morphed into a hulking mute (Tyler Mane) with no discernible personality.
Once this point in the story has been reached, Halloween essentially turns into a retread of the greatest moments in Carpenter's original. We are introduced to Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton), who is the sweetest and most virginal of all her friends, although in Zombie's worldview, that might not be enough to ensure her survival at the end. When Myers breaks free of his institution, he returns to his home town and starts stalking babysitting teenagers, which is explained via plot points lifted from Halloween II (1981). Again Myers is pursued by his psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Loomis (Malcolm McDowell, truly slumming), although Zombie's inclusion of scenes in which Dr. Loomis interacts with young Michael does nothing to enhance their relationship. Dr. Loomis was always more of a convenient means of plot information, always on hand to expound on Myers' abject evil nature. Now that Zombie wants us to see Myers as a victim-turned-victimizer, Dr. Loomis' proclamations of evil no longer fit.
While Zombie's work is not to everyone's taste, he has a gonzo approach that works when the material fits. The gallows humor of his earlier films is all but missing in Halloween, and when he tries to shoehorn it in, it feels forced. He also overcompensates with his cavalcade of cameo appearances by actors associated with '70s and '80s horror cinema. While there is a certain amount of fun to be had in seeing familiar faces like Dee Wallace (Cujo) as Laurie's mom, Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead) as a truck driver, and Udo Kier (Flesh for Frankenstein as a psychiatrist, it's just kind of creepy seeing Danielle Harris, the tyke actress who was terrorized by Myers in Halloween 4 (1988) and Halloween 5 (1989), getting topless and bloody as one of Laurie's doomed friends.
Of course, Zombie's Halloween is also much bloodier than Carpenter's original (although less bloody than Zombie's other films), which was one of those horror thrillers that constantly made you think you saw more than you did. All of Carpenter's careful artistry and malevolent use of the widescreen frame is also jettisoned in favor of Zombie's more visceral, sledge-hammer approach, which goes straight for the jugular every time. When he appropriates Carpenter's unforgettable theme music, it feels tacked on and tacky, pretty much like the film itself.

Sheppard AFB
Singers from Fort Worth Opera Association perform at Sheppard AFB. Photo by Lou Anne Sledge, courtesy of Sheppard AFB. |
Following a dinner at the Officers Club, diners adjourned to a small performance space consisting of a small stage area with some spotlights and theater-style chairs. The diners joined about 75 guests who were already waiting for the performance. Sheppard AFB's Mission Support Group Commander made informal curtain remarks recognizing the uniqueness and importance of hosting a performance on base in this rural part of Texas.
The performance, as we had come to expect from Fort Worth Opera, was very good and it was interesting to see how it had been adapted for a smaller venue. The audience was very engaged, and many favorable comments were overheard. Following the performance, many members of the audience stayed to get autographs and talk with the singers…who had achieved rock star status by this point.

I love using my Farmer's Market finds whenever I can. My daughter was watching the movie, Ratatouille (the one with all the rats, lol) and that, along with my Farmer's Market finds is what inspired me to actually make Ratatouille! I'm here to tell you, I can't believe I waited so long to make this scrumptious dish!
Some summer nights, you may not feel like a heavy, hearty meat dish. This Ratatouille is PERFECT for nights like those. You'll walk away feeling satisfied, and good about yourself for making a very healthy choice! All of these fresh ingredients together, equal total deliciousness!!!!
We served our Ratatouille with a side of buttered noodles, but it would be good just as is, or with a side of couscous or quinoua as well!
You will need a 6-Quart or larger Slow Cooker for this. It cooks way down, but you will overflow at the start otherwise! ;)
1 medium-large Eggplant, peeled, sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, chopped
2 small or 1 medium Zucchini, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1/2 yellow pepper, chopped
1/2 orange pepper, chopped
1 large Heirloom tomato, chopped
3 small yellow tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. oregano
1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped (I had this in my garden and it was seriously the secret ingredient!!!)
Place your chopped eggplant in the bottom of your crock. Next, layer your onions on top, then zucchini, yellow peppers, orange peppers, red tomatoes and yellow tomatoes on the very top! Now, add all of your seasonings, EXCEPT PARSLEY on top. It will look so pretty and colorful! Cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. 1/2 hr. before serving, add the fresh parsley and carefully stir. Leave the lid off to help evaporate some of the liquid.

Jesus frees a demon-possessed man
26 Jesus and his disciples sailed to the Gerasenes' land, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, a certain man met him. The man was from the city and was possessed by demons. For a long time, he had lived among the tombs, naked and homeless. 28 When he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down before him. Then he shouted, " What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me! " 29 He said this because Jesus had already commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had taken possession of him, so he would be bound with leg irons and chains and placed under guard. But he would break his restraints, and the demon would force him into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, " What is your name? "
" Legion, " he replied, because many demons had entered him. 31 They pleaded with him not to order them to go back into the abyss.t32 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission, 33 and the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who tended the pigs saw what happened, they ran away and told the story in the city and in the countryside. 35 People came to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone. He was sitting at Jesus' feet, fully dressed and completely sane. They were filled with awe. 36 Those people who had actually seen what had happened told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered. 37 Then everyone gathered from the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave their area because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and returned across the lake. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone begged to come along with Jesus as one of his disciples. Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 " Return home and tell the story of what God has done for you. " So he went throughout the city proclaiming what Jesus had done for him.
Offering convenience and ease of use with minimum care, this striking Aluminum Offering Plate with Brasstone finish and red mat stamped with the IHS symbol is available for use in your worship service. 12" in diameter x 8 1/8" well x 2" deep. Also available in Silvertone finish.
See the Related Products Section below for Brasstone and Silvertone finish Offering Plates, as well as additional helpful resources.
Take a moment to look at our diversified on-line selection of Offering Bulletins,
and Offering Letterheads and Envelopes. Care tips . . .
The rich anodized finish of brasstone aluminum never tarnishes or needs polishing. Because brasstone aluminum resembles real brass so closely, pieces will match other appointments. Wash in mild soap and water. Do not use strong detergents, abrasive cleaners or metal polish, and never use a dishwasher to clean.
Did you know. . . At a certain point in almost every Christian worship service, the offering plate will be passed. It may be a felt-lined brass or silver-tone plate, or a basket passed down the pew, or held in front of worshipers from the end of a long stick. It could be a 10-gallon plastic bucket. A few churches place boxes at the front or back of the church and ask people to drop in contributions during the service or as they leave.
But the idea is always the same: Give to God and to support the church.
The offering is a part of the service, done with integrity, and offered as a response to what God has done; and a way to support the local church.
The Israelites offered sacrifices to God from the earliest accounts in the Bible. The idea of a sacrifice involves offering something to God.
It was generally held that the firstborn of the herd and the first fruits of the harvest be given as thanks to God. That custom came down to the Christian church in the form of taking up an offering.

I'm sitting here, scratching my head, trying to figure out why so many people have their noses out of joint because Governor Deval Patrick appointed as interim US senator a guy who lacks political experience.
Seems to me that whether you're talking about Congress, the State House, or City Hall, one of the problems is that too many people in those buildings have too much experience.
This comment has been removed.
Mo Cowan, Micheal Dukakis, the guy down the street or an old suit stuffed with straw - aren't we all making a little too much out of the choice? The Senate is decidedly in Domocratic hands, constituant services will go on as Kerry's key staff remain in place, the designated seat filler will vote as per instructed by the whip and our new " senior senator " and certainly no one expects any significant committee work from Mr. Cowan.
In my opinion, if Cowan is to be believed that he has no political aspirations, the choice rewards a long time Patrick associate and in the long run, will become a minor bit of local political trivia. I would have prefered the appointment used as a reward and honorific granted to a long time local public figure but this was not the case.
Two thumbs up for a strong defense of Patrick's choice. The thought of having someone who is more of an outsider thrown into the mix is very appealing. Given the dysfunction and gridlock in the Senate, it's worth it to try anything. Unfortunately there still is the concern that anyone who goes there instantly ceases being an outsider and is consumed by the system, no matter what their personal attributes.
The govenor has done what others before have always done; he took care of a friend. For someone who campaigned on "Hope and Change" (remember, Axelrod used it here first), Patrick has behavied like he has been on Beacon Hill his whole career. The real question is how will Cowan protect our economy on matters of defense spending and fisheries regulations among other things. He said there is no daylight between him and the governor on any issues. To me it is another way of saying, I'll vote as the govenor tells me.
Voting the party line is not the point. The point is Mass has a new senator and a temporary senator. When it comes time to make the deal that will protect the jobs and interestest of the commonwealth neither senator will have the political capital to defend Massachusetts.
The military bases and defense contractors in the state are left with no experienced senators to defend them.
Senators are elected to serve the people of the state, not vote the party line and be a reward for past service. The governor has done great dis service to the people of the state by giving them no defense as the senate decides cuts for sequestration and to lower spending.
I would love to hear ideas of how anyone thinks our newly elected Senator or temporary senator can make a deal to save a mass resource versus a resource in another state, a state with senior senators?
I'm sure Mo Cowan is a smart, capable, nice man and were he running for a full term, perhaps he'd be my choice. However, there are hugely important votes awaiting Senate attention. Mo Cowan will just be learning where the restrooms are before it's time for him to leave. I whole heartedly agree with The Globe editorial; this was a failed opportunity to appoint someone with clout. Mo Cowan has no time to accrue any.
