Generic Name: propranolol (pro PRAN oh lol)
Brand Names: Inderal, Inderal LA, InnoPran XL
What is propranolol?
Propranolol is a beta-blocker. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Propranolol is used to treat tremors, angina (chest pain), hypertension (high blood pressure), heart rhythm disorders, and other heart or circulatory conditions. It is also used to treat or prevent heart attack, and to reduce the severity and frequency of migraine headaches.
Propranolol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to propranolol, if you have asthma, a slow heart rate, or a serious heart condition such as "sick sinus syndrome" or "AV block" (unless you have a pacemaker). If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using propranolol. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time. Do not skip doses or stop using propranolol without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your blood levels of propranolol.
Propranolol is only part of a complete program of treatment for hypertension that may also include diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely if you are being treated for hypertension.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using propranolol even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Before taking this medicine
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to propranolol, if you have asthma, a slow heart rate, or a serious heart condition such as "sick sinus syndrome" or "AV block" (unless you have a pacemaker).
To make sure you can safely take propranolol, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
a muscle disorder;
bronchitis, emphysema, or other breathing disorders;
diabetes (propranolol can make it harder for you to tell when you have low blood sugar);
low blood pressure;
congestive heart failure;
liver or kidney disease;
a thyroid disorder;
pheochromocytoma; or
problems with circulation (such as Raynaud's syndrome).
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether propranolol will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. Propranolol can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use propranolol without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take propranolol?
Take propranolol exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
You may take propranolol with or without food, but take it the same way each time.
Take the medicine at the same time each day.
Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
To be sure you get the correct dose, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Do not skip doses or stop using propranolol without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often. Visit your doctor regularly.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using propranolol. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Propranolol is only part of a complete program of treatment for hypertension that may also include diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely if you are being treated for hypertension.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using propranolol even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
This medication can cause unusual results with certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using propranolol.
Store propranolol at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
For regular (short-acting) propranolol: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if your next dose is less than 4 hours away.
For extended-release propranolol (Inderal LA, InnoPran XL and others): Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if your next dose is less than 8 hours away.
Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Overdose symptoms may include slow or uneven heartbeats, dizziness, weakness, or fainting.
What should I avoid?
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your blood levels of propranolol.
Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
Propranolol side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to propranolol: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
fast, slow, or uneven heartbeats;
feeling light-headed, fainting;
feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion;
swelling of your ankles or feet;
nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
cold feeling in your hands and feet;
depression, confusion, hallucinations; or
severe skin reaction -- fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.
Less serious propranolol side effects may include:
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach cramps;
decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm;
sleep problems (insomnia); or
tired feeling.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Chapelgate's Casey Johnson proved that she has the ability to take over a game on both ends of the floor.
The sophomore forward scored in a variety of ways, finishing with 32 points and 18 boards to lead the Yellowjackets in a 50-28 victory over IAAM C Conference rival Glenelg Country on Thursday.
"Casey puts up pretty good numbers but the thing with her is that she is willing to learn," Chapelgate coach Kortnie Smith said. "She gets her points off of rebounds and steals because she makes the necessary hustle plays."
Johnson scored 20 of her points in the first half as the Yellowjackets took a 24-11 lead into halftime.
Chapelgate got off to a strong start thanks to a hawking full-court defense that pressured the Dragons and its dominance in the paint. Freshman center Jayla Powers blocked 12 shots as the Yellowjackets made things difficult for the smaller Glenelg Country.
"We played together as a team, especially on defense," Johnson said. "We were communicating well (on the press) and if we missed anything, our teammate had our back."
A drive to the basket by Kendra Issacs to open the third quarter pulled the Dragons within 11 points, but the Yellowjackets pulled away with an 11-2 run to close the quarter.
Johnson had seven points in that key spurt, Camille Keyes added a layup and Christina VanWingerden scored inside.
Chapelgate improves to 8-3 overall and currently leads the IAAM C X Division with a 4-1 mark. Smith credits the team's success in her second season to the players' growth on and off the court.
"They were learning me last year and now they're a little more comfortable with my demands," Smith said. "They have matured as individuals and as basketball players. When that happens you can throw a little more at them. This year they are putting the pieces together."
The Dragons, led by senior Hannah Harbold (six points) and freshman Alayna Newsome (five rebounds), kept fighting with a 6-0 run late in the game. Harbold used a strong drive to the basket to finish at the rim, while Sabrina DeLeonibus and Newsome added buckets.
"I was very pleased with the way a couple of our freshman stepped up, especially Alayna," Glenelg Country coach Ed Conroy said. "We played really physical today. This was the most physical game we've had all year and we really stepped up. They have a couple of girls that can bang inside."
Since the teams are in different divisions in the C Conference, the players will have to wait until next season to renew the rivalry.
Statistical breakdown:
CC: Johnson 18, Powers 8.
GC: Smith 6, Newsome 5.
CC: Yahiro 4.
GC: DeLeonibus 3.

Maya & Patrick's Picture-Perfect, Lived-In Home
House Tour
Name: Maya & Patrick Laurent
Location: Westfield, Indiana (just north of Indianapolis)
Size: 1,200 square feet
Years lived in: 7 — owned
Maya and Patrick's home in suburban Indianapolis is a wonderful example of how an ordinary house can become extraordinary with the right furniture, paint, and accessories. As home based photographers and artists, Maya and Patrick strived to create a home that is both comfortable and presentable and I think they accomplish both beautifully.
Maya and Patrick are the creative forces behind Such Great Heights photography, which specializes in a new kind of senior portrait. (Seriously, if they had been around when I had my senior picture taken, perhaps I wouldn't be as embarrassed by them now!) With a home-based business, Maya and Patrick's house needs to reflect their personality and also clean up quickly for last minute client visits.
A couple of the highlights of this tour are the custom paint jobs that Patrick did. The painted panels in the kids' room are so adorable that I am actually jealous that these two kids get such an amazing space! And the tree painting on Maya and Patrick's bedroom wall adds a fantastic visual treat to their already stylish room.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: A mix of modern and mid-century that can be lived in and withstand the constant play of kids.
Inspiration: Dwell Magazine, art museums and design blogs.
Favorite Element: The custom shelves in our living room not only provide space for books and a quick clean up area for toys, but we had envisioned them for a long time and to see them come to life has been fun. All of Pat's custom art in the house, from the trees on our bedroom walls to the boys' city paintings, make the house feel custom to just us.
Biggest Challenge: Coming up with solutions to make our home not only function for a family of four but as a place for two businesses to run and hold client meetings.
What Friends Say: Can you come help us with our house? or You really got that on Craigslist? What did it look like before?
Biggest Embarrassment: Our bathrooms. We have barely touched them and they are in desperate need of some attention. Our kitchen is not our proudest area either but we plan to paint the cabinets to help it fit into the house a bit more. And don't look closely at our couches…stain city!
Proudest DIY: All the furniture Pat has built and the furniture we have "upcycled" from Craigslist and garage sales.
Biggest Indulgence: The custom shelves in the living room. Although, we still got them for a great deal!
Best Advice: Live in the space for a bit before making major changes and be okay with changing things when you figure out it doesn't work anymore for your evolving family. You don't have to spend a ton of money in order to have a home that fits you…just be creative with pieces you can find.

Love it!
Stunning! This one's getting bookmarked for my future inspiration needs. :)
Those custom shelves are incredible.
anyone know what couch that is in their entry way? that is the perfect couch to fit a tight space in our home!
Wonderful, the best aspects of apt therapy- great use of space, thriftiness, and creativity.
love the kids room. def showing me i CAN fit another child in our two bedroom house..
the couch pillows and above toddler-height shelves are super cool
WOW! I like that the portraits are big, bold and personal, not like the stiff family portraits many of us have in our homes. The pops of color are what make this home so beautiful.
I'm in love with the lighting, especially in the "office" and the master bedroom...where did you find these?
I would also like to know where to find the couch near their front door!
Fabulous! Looks like a real family home. Great paint and accessories.
Good for you! It's so smart to make things sturdy, low-maintenance, and cheerful, so that the entire household can relax and feel at home. It's harder than it sounds to make a home both practical and good-looking.
I love those wall shelves in the corner!
Those wall shelves in the corner are to die for...seriously, kudos. I have a friend who actually sent me a card addressed to "the pillow queen" one time. Looks like a pillow queen reigns this pad, too. Love it.
I love the cabinet with the slab that extends over the side in the kitchen!
You guys have a great home. It feels lived in without feeling cluttered, which is great!
PS- I also love the fact that you listed CB2 as a dream source- thank you for making me feel better about my own dream sources. Sometimes I see DWR all over the furniture list and then some super high end places in the "dream source" list and I sit here and think "and i can hardly afford Urban Outfitters..."
There's nothing really ground-breaking about this house, but it looks like a good, comfortable, functional space where you don't have to clean every couple of hours. In other words, a great place to live.
After living in Indianapolis my entire life, I know how difficult it can be to scavenge great pieces from craigslist and Goodwill. Way to go! Your space is so light and colorful, and I love all the pops of orange!
I love it. All the pillows, the big huge photos, and the general feeling of accessibility. Bookmarking!
I can't seem to figure out what couch that is in the first pic (Macy's?)
Maybe it's this one?
Answering a couple of questions here! Thanks for the response. 1. The lighting in the office is handmade with inspiration from ReadyMade magazine. The light in the bedroom was $20 at Menards. 2. The couch is this one (http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=518929&CategoryID=35419#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D431) Roxy72 had it right!
Wow! What a beautiful place. Could you please tell me what color paint you used for the front room - it's a wonderful gray.
Thanks roxy72 and mayalaurent... i thought it could have been that couch. this post only reaffirms that i need the morgan couch!
I second CraigslistDecorator's applause for the big, bold portraits -- and the bold black frames!
Also, Maya and Patrick: I love how you display your children's artwork. Can you share what you've framed in the 2 black frames at the top of them?
i love this home, what a great Tour!
Where is your dinning table from?? just love it!
yay! more tours of homes with little ones and all their stuff scattered about, please.
Great colors!!! Beautiful place.
Lovely family home. Can you tell me the hallway paint color.
Beautiful, and a nice integration of [what I assume to be] some of their work photography into their home.
Beautiful house!!! I love the art you've chosen... but it's waaaay too high up on the walls.
do you remember the brand/name of the grey paint color in the main room? it looks like a true grey? very nice.
I LOVE your house... it's perfect in EVERY way! Pat, you're an incredible artist. Maya, you're an incredible decorator... together you're just INCREDIBLE! ;) Next family session is happening in your house. k? k. My 2¢: 1. I think this house decor is 100% groundbreaking! :D 2. I think that your "showroom" is perfect in every way! and 3. The art on the walls is perfectly placed! :D Love love love you guys!!!
nice pops of color and use of space!
YAY, I'm glad that I guessed the couch correctly! Is it comfy for lounging and watching movies, or more of an occasional-sitting-down-on-drinking-coffee sort of couch?
Yes, I'm curious too about how comfy the couch is? I'm also wondering where you got your office desk? It's cute! Love your house tour! Thank you for sharing :)
I really like the office space. Great use of colour!
Fantastic - I love the balance between warm and cool colors. I also particularly like the arrangement of pillows on the perpendicular sofas, with orange/white on one and green/white on the other. I will definitely borrow that idea, so thank you.
Please tell me where your dining table is from, really like it!
Perfect space for Creatives!
Well done.
I have the same bird pillow that's on the gray couch, only smaller/square and in yellow! It's from an Etsy shop called Joom.
Great house...I love all the color, and I love the boys' room!
I love the pictures and your dog...the rest is...
The photography is fabulous. Love it all.
Beautiful family home - economy of space, utility for business, clean and tidy without being overly minimal. I love it.
Really love this house. I would love to find out the plan for the kitchen cabinets. I have almost the identical cabinets in my home and have toyed with painting mine white.
Some more answers to some questions for you!
Paint colors:
Hallway - Olympic Baritone / ceiling - Azalea Leaf
Living Room - Olympic Secret Passage / ceiling - Flagstone
Artwork quotes:
"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up" - Pablo Picasso
The office desk is one of those old metal teacher's desks. We picked it up on Craiglist, painted it and made the top for it.
The kitchen table was bought at a garage sale for $20 and was in horrible shape. My husband sanded it down and refinished it.
I adore this house. It is colorful and fun and uses IKEA/Target, but doesn't look cookie cutter. Very well done and very inspirational!
I love this house, it's so well-designed. Kudos to the couple. :) Great artwork too!
Does anybody know where they got their lighting fixtures? They're amazing. I like the dining and living room ones most especially.
Nice family home. Love the boys' room. The colors are perfect.
Great place, but I would agree that some of the art is hung way too high. I also think a sofa table woule be a great addition to the back of the sofa closest to the kitchen.
Carnivalrider - The lighting fixture in the master bedroom is from Menards, the one over the kitchen table and the one in the office were hand made by my husband. He grabbed the ideas from ReadyMade magazine.

The 128-credit B.A. in English offers students the opportunity to concentrate in:
• Creative Writing
• Literature
• Writing & Rhetoric
All English majors gain a breadth of knowledge of English literary traditions, including American and Anglophone literatures around the world. In the Creative Writing concentration, students develop their abilities to express themselves imaginatively in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Students concentrating in Writing & Rhetoric hone their skills in writing clearly and persuasively for any audience or purpose. In all three programs, students gain an extensive knowledge of literature, a sense of the scope of English studies, and familiarity with important issues in their fields of concentration. All three programs require the completion of 33 credits in English courses numbered 100 or above.
For more information, contact the English Department's undergraduate advisor, Wayne Berninger.
Today's professional must interpret and manipulate complex information, so employers are attracted to job candidates who read carefully, think creatively, and write clearly and persuasively.

A minor allows you to pursue interests outside your major field and demonstrates the diversity of your skills to future employers and/or graduate programs. A minor consists of four English courses numbered 100 or above. For more information about the English minor, click here.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't like any of the dances of any of the races. I'm 62 and I've never danced in RL so I also have no use for it in a game. The Piccolo needs to be banned. I can't bring myself to play a Troll. They're just too ugly. I always play male characters too. The only race I have never created a toon in in my 5 years in the game--- Orc. My favorites are Night Elves and now my Worgen although I hate the Running wild and he's getting a Nightsaber ASAP. On the Horde side I like the noble Tauren and the tragic Forsaken. I made a Goblin and I really enjoyed the starting quests. I don't think I want to go any further with little Quarkspark though.

Authorities say Cook committed the alleged acts between 1998 and 2002 when he lived with the child and her mother. According to Lt. Bill Watterson, spokesman for the Newton County Sheriff's Office, the victim was 9 years old when the alleged abuse began. Cook reportedly left the home after the alleged acts took place, Watterson said. Cook has been charged with two counts of child molestation, two counts of cruelty to children, incest and sexual battery. Joel Griffin can be reached at email@example.com.

Aroma – The smell that fills the room during brewing. For the most part, coffees smell the way they taste. But a few coffees, Colombian most notably, are more fragrant than the rest.
Flavor – refers to the overall impression of the coffee. It is the culmination of the aroma, acidity, body and roast. Common adjectives used to describe flavor are "chocolaty," "nutty," "spicy," "winy," and "sweet."
Acidity – refers to the tangy quality, liveliness or bright note that highlights the flavor of the coffee. Although acidity levels vary, coffee with no acidity may taste flat and dull.Acidity is felt on the sides and back of the tongue. Acidity is measured high-medium- low. High acidity is commonly described as "winey," "bright," "lively," "sharp," or "tangy."
Body – refers to the weight or viscosity of the coffee on the tongue. Measured light-medium-full. It is typically described as "thin," "watery," "syrupy," "heavy" or "buttery."
Roast – refers to the temperature which the coffee bean was roasted. The roast ultimately determines the flavor of the coffee. Lighter roasts are usually described as "sweet" or "well-balanced," while darker roasts are generally more intense and lively.

From powdered duck and tipsy cake to terrines and turbot, Neil Perry steps up to the plate.
I hadn't been to London in two years, a long time in the culinary world, so a recent trip was the perfect opportunity to make up for lost meals. First stop was dinner at The Ledbury. Head chef Brett Graham has come a long way since starting his apprenticeship in Newcastle (New South Wales) as a 15-year-old. While at Sydney's Banc, he won the prestigious Josephine Pignolet Award, which saw him relocate to the UK. Now he's at the helm of a two Michelin-starred restaurant in Notting Hill. Standouts include flame-grilled mackerel with avocado, shiso and celtic mustard, and pig's cheek speared with liquorice root and cooked until the skin shatters like toffee. Lunch the next day was an hour out of town at the Petersham Nurseries at Richmond. If the weather is kind, diners eat in a greenhouse with a dirt floor – unusual for a Michelin-starred restaurant. The seasonal food of Skye Gyngell (Qantas Australian Woman of the Year in the UK) is simple and delicious, with offerings such as broad beans with prosciutto, roast tomatoes and peppers with fresh mozzarella, fish stew and roast guinea fowl.

The Arthritis Foundation is part of a global effort – World Arthritis Day – on October 12, to increase awareness of the many forms of arthritis and to call on individuals and policymakers to take action to reduce the burden of arthritis around the world.
World Arthritis Day was established in 1996 by Arthritis and Rheumatism International and is observed in more than 50 countries each year on or around October 12.
On this day, we urge people worldwide with arthritis and related diseases to join together and make their voices heard.
World Arthritis Day strives to:
- Raise awareness of arthritis among the general public, medical community and people with the disease.
- Influence public policy by making decision-makers aware of the burden of arthritis and steps that can be taken to ease it.
- Ensure that all people with arthritis and their caregivers are aware of the vast support network available to them.
Take Action
Did you know arthritis affects several hundred million people worldwide and is the leading cause of disability, striking one in five adults and 300,000 children in the United States? The disease exacts a hefty financial toll, costing the U.S. economy $128 billion annually.
Join us on October 12 and make a difference. Here are some ways you can help.
Share the "Waving With the World" image —If you've been touched by arthritis, share the World Arthritis Day photo montage of people from all over the world waving in support of those affected by arthritis. Post the photo on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using #WorldArthritisDay. Be sure to include a personal message about how arthritis affects you or someone important to you.
- Jingle With Us — Be one of the first 1,000 people to register for the Arthritis Foundation's Jingle Bell Run/Walk between October 10-12 and receive a free gift. Your participation helps raise awareness and funds to fight arthritis.
- Write the First Lady — We're reaching out to First Lady Michelle Obama and thanking her for Let's Move: a campaign focused on getting kids moving and preventing obesity in America. In addition to sharing our gratitude, we're asking the First Lady to talk about the benefits of movement and weight management for the prevention and treatment of arthritis. Send her a pre-drafted letter, add your story, and help ensure that future generations aren't faced with the same disabling pain
- Are You at Risk for Osteoarthritis? -- Take our quiz.
Move to Improve
Research has shown that even small amounts of physical activity not only benefit people with arthritis – helping them stay mobile, independent and able to participate in society – but are also important in helping prevent some joint problems and conditions like osteoporosis. Here are some ways you can Move to Improve.
- Track your movement and more-Track + React is a simple but powerful online arthritis self-management tool for revealing which daily activities impact your arthritis symptoms. Developed by the experts at Arthritis Today magazine, the Track + React app allows you to track your activities and symptoms as they happen. It is free, easytouse, and information entered in the app or on the Web is automatically synced, so your information is always up to date.
- Watch how tennis was one man's weapon against osteoarthritis pain-Tennis pro Brian Teacher, who won the 1981 Australian Open, was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis at age 34. He learned to manage the pain from the disease by staying active. Watch Brian speak about his life post-tennis, and how he's found the motivation to fight his osteoarthritis pain.
- Walk With Ease-Walk With Ease is an Arthritis Foundation exercise program that can reduce pain and improve overall health. In studies by the Thurston Arthritis Research Center and the Institute on Aging of the University of North Carolina, Walk With Ease was shown to reduce pain, increase balance and strength, and improve overall health.

The condition of the male suspect who allegedly gunned down a Draper police officer and then shot himself and his girlfriend has improved, but detectives still were waiting to question him.
Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said the suspect, Timothy T. Walker, 35, was upgraded from critical to serious on Thursday.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Police still withheld specifics on Walker's injuries, except to say he had shot himself in an apparent suicide bid after having slain 32-year-old Sgt. Derek Johnson on Sunday in Draper.
Meanwhile, Walker's girlfriend, Traci Vaillancourt, 34, had been upgraded from critical to fair condition — a relative says Vaillancourt was shot in the back — and she has talked with investigators.
However, Hoyal would not detail the content of those interviews, which conceivably could bear on Walker's possible motive in allegedly ambushing Johnson as he sat in his patrol unit.
"This investigation is still ongoing," Hoyal said. "Detectives have been able to speak with Vaillancourt, [but] the details of those conversations will not be released."
However, Hoyal did indicate that there was nothing learned thus far that diminished investigators' belief that "Walker is the suspect in this case and Vaillancourt is a victim."
Johnson had stopped to investigate after seeing Walker's Volvo — which he and Vaillancourt had been living out of — parked at an odd angle on a street. After being shot, Johnson drove a short distance before crashing.
According to a relative who asked not to be identified over safety concerns, Walker purchased the Volvo from an old friend of his. The relative said the money for the car, as well as for hotels the couple lived in for years, came from Vaillancourt's Social Security Disability Insurance payments, which she received as a result of a debilitating blood disorder. At some point recently, the relative added, Vaillancourt also received a check for about $40,000 in back payments.
Walker also was not violent in his past relationships and was "not a cop hater," the relative said.
The shooting occurred about 6 a.m., when officers from the graveyard shift return to the station to clock out, said Maridene Hancock, city spokeswoman. Johnson was mere blocks away.
Funeral services for Johnson, who left behind a wife and young son, are set for 11 a.m. Friday at the Maverik Center, 3200 S. Decker Lake Drive (2200 West) in West Valley City. A public viewing was held there Thursday.
The ceremonies originally were planned to be held at the Salt Palace Convention Center, but they were moved due to other large events in downtown Salt Lake City. Salt Lake Comic Con, which has sold 30,000 tickets, and the Greek Festival are planned for Friday.
Johnson's interment will be at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 E. Dimple Dell Road (10600 South) in Sandy.

The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." (CA Water Code §85054)
The Delta Independent Science Board (Delta ISB) is a standing board of nationally or internationally prominent scientists with appropriate expertise to evaluate the broad range of scientific programs that support adaptive management of the Delta. The Delta ISB will provide oversight of the scientific research, monitoring, and assessment programs that support adaptive management of the Delta through periodic reviews of each of those programs. The overall objective of Delta ISB oversight is to help make the science underlying Bay-Delta programs, the application of that science, and the technical aspects of those programs the best that they can be.
For more information on the current members of the Delta ISB, click here.
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009 (Delta Reform Act) establishes the Delta ISB, whose members are to be appointed by the Delta Stewardship Council, which was also created by the Delta Reform Act as an independent agency of the State of California. The current Delta ISB members were appointed by the Council on May 27, 2010 for five-year terms. The Council developed and approved a Charge to the Delta ISB on August 26, 2010. The Delta ISB replaces the previous CALFED Independent Science Board.

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. – Two ATM burglaries occurred on Thursday and Friday morning in Spokane according to the Spokane Valley Police Department.
The first occurred at the Conoco on 16th and University early Thursday morning. Surveillance footage showed two suspects wearing hooded sweatshirts, masks, and gloves pull up in a Chrysler Mini-Van. One suspect shattered the window of the business with a baseball bat and attached a rope to an ATM. The second suspect attached a tow rope to the Mini-Van. Both suspects got back into the vehicle and tried to pull the ATM away unsuccessfully. They left the scene.
The second ATM theft occurred Friday morning. Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputy Ken Dodge responded to the Broadway Mini Mart on the 10,000 block of East Broadway.
The business owner had been told by a friend that the front window of the business was broken. The owner arrived to find the ATM missing from the store.
This burglary occurred at 3:40 a.m. Friday morning according to surveillance video. Footage showed a male suspect wearing a hooded coat, mask, and jeans use a baseball bat to smash the front window and run inside the store. A second suspect wearing a hooded coat and mask entered the store. About ten seconds later they dragged at ATM out of the store.
The Spokane Valley Police Department believes both ATM thefts were committed by the same two suspects.
Crime Stoppers offered a cash reward for any information about these two burglaries. Call their tip line at 1-800-222-TIPS or contact them at their website.

Officer Aaron Waddell pulled over a gray Dodge Caravan on Route 198 in Laurel and asked the driver for his license and registration. Waddell told the man why he stopped him — a suspected seat belt violation — and added, "Just to let you know, you're being recorded."
Such warnings could become more common as police across Maryland consider following Laurel's lead and equipping officers with small video cameras to record public interactions — part of an effort to limit complaints. Even the most mundane traffic stop can devolve into a dispute, and supporters say a recording can guard all sides from unfounded allegations.
But the new technology — now under consideration by the Baltimore Police Department and the Maryland State Police — has also proved difficult to reconcile with concerns about privacy and consent.
Though civil-rights advocates agree that video cameras can improve accountability, the American Civil Liberties Union cautioned recently that without proper oversight they could become "yet another system for routine surveillance." And some officers question whether the cameras will sour relations with the public.
In Laurel, where police began rolling out cameras last year at a cost of $2,000 apiece, some in the department were initially reluctant to submit to the near-constant recording. Now, though, Waddell can't imagine working without his camera, a pen-size device worn on sunglasses or a headband.
"I have anxiety if I don't have it on," said the patrolman, who pulled over 1,000 people in 2012. "Just by the amount of contact I have with people I get complaints."
Everything went smoothly in the Route 198 stop. The driver politely accepted a citation and buckled up; Waddell switched off the device and moved along.
Recent cases in Baltimore have demonstrated how initial witness accounts can differ widely from official explanations. When Tyrone West died in police custody last summer, several witnesses said he had been beaten. Officers were cleared of wrongdoing, though his family continues to question the finding.
The advent of the cameras is the latest move in a long struggle by police to adapt to technology that has put a recording device in the hands of everyone who carries a cellphone. Officers are under increased scrutiny, because every public action can be captured and posted online in moments.
Often, police complain that videos shot by bystanders fail to capture an entire event. With the cameras, police aim to be protector and enforcer, arguing that the footage could help keep them accountable, provide evidence of crimes and resolve disputes over conduct.
But it also means the government is collecting more information, which raises questions about the data's distribution, retention and storage.
"This is something departments are trying to get their hands around," said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, a policy think tank working for the U.S. Department of Justice to develop guidelines for the use of police cameras. "Police encounter citizens when they are at their worst. There are all sorts of privacy issues raised."
Robert Cherry, president of the city police union, acknowledged some benefits of the cameras but fears they will diminish public trust in officers.
"We're a profession and now just someone who walks around with a camera? It takes away a lot of interaction," he said. Some agencies that use cameras have struggled in court because jurors don't care about officer testimony — only what's caught on video, he added.
"Unfortunately, cameras don't pick up everything," Cherry said.
But police officials considering the technology believe it enhances credibility of officers at a time when they are already being recorded.
Baltimore police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts has indicated that he wants to see officers outfitted with the body-worn cameras. A recently released strategic plan calls for a look at whether cameras could help save money paid out from lawsuits.
A similar study done when Batts headed the Oakland, Calif., Police Department called for a "well-thought out policy that protects officers' and citizens' constitutional rights and privacy." The department acquired hundreds of cameras in 2010, and officers were directed to have them on for many public interactions.
The ACLU has cited an incident there — after Batts left — in warning about the potential pitfalls of cameras. Two officers were disciplined after turning a camera off during a clash with Occupy Oakland protesters in late 2011.
"The balance that needs to be struck is to ensure that officers can't manipulate the video record, while also ensuring that officers are not subjected to a relentless regime of surveillance without any opportunity for shelter from constant monitoring," the organization said in a statement.

Arizona Senator John McCain and the city of Phoenix announced plans to get every homeless veteran in the city off the streets by Christmas.
Mayor Greg Stanton has joined forces with a group called Project H3 Vets. That stands for home, health and hope. The city is working along with Maricopa County and community partners to help provide housing, treatment for mental health issues or substance abuse, and to also provide assistance with getting employment.
The Mayor says a recent count showed there are about 80 homeless vets right now in Phoenix.
"If you provide not only a roof over people's head, but the support services, that homeless person that you walk by and may not even give a second thought to that person with a roof over his or her head with the support services, that person can get a job and be tax paying members of society like you and I, but for the grace of God though any of us and with our veterans who have served our country, it's an honor that we are able to provide these services and make this very important announcement," said Stanton.
McCain added, "I am proud that the city of Phoenix has taken the lead and they will be the first city in America to eradicate a homeless veterans issue."
Mayor Stanton says the goal is to target those who have been chronically homeless -- living on the streets for more than a year.

Summary & Conclusions
In This Section:
FDA-Approved targeted therapies
Several targeted therapies have already been approved by the FDA for treatment of prostate cancer, and the number will likely increase as research continues to take place.
Visit the FDA and NCI Web sites for additional information about clinical trials.
About clinical trials
Clinical researchers are finding ways to use targeted therapies to effectively treat cancer. Since dozens of these new, innovative targeted therapies have not yet been approved by the FDA, clinical trials may be the only opportunity for patients to access them at present. Unfortunately, only 3 percent of adults with cancer choose this route and enroll in clinical trials.
A recent study indicated that 65 percent of patients would have been receptive to clinical trial enrollment if they had been made aware of the option at the time of initial diagnosis.
Eighty-seven percent would consider participating in a clinical trial if their initial treatment failed.
Physicians have the responsibility to talk to their patients about clinical trials and help them identify appropriate trials if the patients are interested.
Finding clinical trials
To do your own search for clinical trials, visit the Clinical Trials section of the National Cancer Institute's website at http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials.
The NCI Web site has information about clinical trials that are sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, pharmaceutical companies, medical centers, and other groups from around the world.
There are targeted therapies for prostate cancer in all phases of clinical study. Many of these targeted therapies target the cellular processes discussed in this tutorial.
Additional resources
Additional information about cancer clinical trials can be found at http://bethesdatrials.cancer.gov/, which will help a patient find cancer trials at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
For answers to additional questions about cancer, visit the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service Web page at http://www.cancer.gov/aboutnci/cis.
This Web page includes a link for accessing LiveHelp, a live, online service that provides information about cancer, including information about ongoing clinical trials.
The public also may contact the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER.

A (usually comedic) blog I like to follow in my spare time recently published a post talking about the latest events in Libya to ask why conservatives are so against the pro-democracy uprisings of the so-called Jasmine Revolution, when a conservative Republican government undertook multi-billion dollar invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan in order to "bring democracy" to those lands. An interesting question, no doubt, for someone stuck in the false dichotomy of conservatives and liberals. Wouldn't this be a fiscal boon, with democracy flourishing in the Middle-East at no expense to U.S. coffers? For those of us living outside of the dichotomy, the answer becomes more obvious why these explosive events are so reviled by the power-brokers of the status quo.
I think an important piece of this blogger's misunderstanding is the assumption that the Democrats are in favor of the events unfolding across several nations at this very moment. When one thinks that Obama and the Democratic Party are cheering on the citizens of Egypt, Libya, etc. the issue can become confused. Only after understanding the long-standing foreign policy of the U.S. government (regardless of party or ideology) for what it is, it is easy to see its fingerprints on dictators have been propped up time and again and democratic movements that have been actively targeted and destroyed. Isn't it strange that virtually every new uprising in this movement is described as being within a U.S. ally? If our government were such a beacon of liberty, why are so many of our allies dictators with disgusting human-rights policies? The answer is, our government has had a big hand in creating these human-rights abuses and in securing the power these dictators grip.
Iran, under the suspicion alone of working towards nuclear weapons, is shackled in U.N. sanctions and is surrounded by U.S. client-states waiting to pounce. News that Libya has killed over 1,000 pro-democracy protestors is greeted with the news that the U.S. is "looking at" sanctions and "will be consulting broadly about these issues in the coming days." Our government is dragging its feet as slowly as it can in an effort to give Gaddafi as much time as he needs to suppress this revolt. Even in the face of hundreds of innocents being killed.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, though advertised and sold as such, were never intended to bring democracy to the beaten masses of these countries. They were simply countries that needed to be forcefully brought back into alignment with U.S. interests. Both had important natural resources; governments that did not pay respect to our imperial agenda; and surrounded Iran, which I'm positive was anything but coincidence. The governments we introduced in those newly tamed countries are only democratic in name and are regularly listed as some of the most corrupt governments in the world. They are corrupt by design as they are simply tools of the U.S. government, colonies if you like.
So the Republican and Democratic parties are both furious as they watch decades of work go down the tubes and their hand-picked governments tumble across the Middle-East, it just happens that the Republicans are being more honest about it. The Democrats, always pretending to be a party of the people, must live in denial and cheer on the revolts through gritted teeth – jealous at the freedom the Republicans enjoy.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
When our children went to Highlands their experience was very good, but not perfect. There were many excellent, life-changing teachers and a few clunkers. As with most districts, 203 gives more resources to special ed children than gifted. I would have liked more opportunities for my children in that area. However, I think one key measure of a school is how well students do in life later. My three children look back on this school has having given them a wonderful start on life. I highly recommend it and feel very fortunate that we landed there.
I went to Highlands Elementary from 2003 to 2009. I can honestly say I had an OUTSTANDING childhood here at Highlands. The teachers are top notch, and there are several extracurricular opportunities offered. If I could do elementary school all over again, I would because this school is truly amazing. My parents originally planned to send me to a private school, but they were so impressed with Highlands and Kennedy Junior High they decided to let me go to public schools. If you want your kid to have an excellent education, stay in CUSD 203. It's great here, I promise.
We moved to Naperville from Ohio last year. My son, who entered 2nd grade last fall, has an IEP. I received a phone call from the principal before we even moved here. She asked a lot of questions and was genuinely interested in how we could make this a smooth and pleasant transition. Once he started school I was contacted about the IEP meeting and met with about 8 school personnel. All of them were very excited to help my son succeed. The kids at this school are smart and have been very nice. My son's teachers are phenomenal and he really doesn't mind going to school. There are so many opportunities here and I just can't say enough wonderful things about Highlands or about the CUSD 203 administration. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.
The classroom teachers are wonderful. The test scores are high. Our sons really enjoyed the sports program. Our problem, however, was that one of our sons qualified for an IEP (Individualized Education Program). It was not followed on a consistent basis despite our repeated pleas and meetings. We transferred our sons out of the Naperville School District and into a private school.
A job transfer moved us back to Chicago last year, and Naperville sees many former-Chicagoans like us who have chosen Highlands ES in Dist 203 for its excellent school ranking. Highlands is welcoming of new families and volunteers. The school is locked and secure. The daily curriculum is progressive, differentiating for all levels of learners. Extra-curriculars abound even for the primary grades, including Spanish/Chinese; PE games; book club, math games and science fair nights. The music and art teachers have inspired my daughter to want to take lessons outside of school. We are thrilled with our decision to be at Highlands and are proud to live in Naperville, a community that makes education a priority.
This school is excellent in many ways. If test scores are critical, its students' scores are great. But, test scores are not everything. Unfortunately, the school is not at all accepting of individual differences in learning styles. Some children will do well in this environment. Others will be discouraged and become less curious and interested in learning. There were some outstanding teachers at the school, although some young, inexperienced teachers in the early grades left a negative impression. Naperville is a great town in many ways, but it is also a bit like 'Stepford' and this school fit in perfectly. The school's music program was very good, yet there was limited exposure to music and art (apart from parent lectures on artists) and, given its proximity to Chicago, there could have been a much stronger cultural program. After school enrichment options were limited. Overall, though, positives far outweigh negatives.
My daughter has attended Highlands for the past 2 years. The teachers are top notch and there are many opportunities for parental involvement (with a very high level of participaiton). The school's music teacher is exceptional and there are a fair number of extracurricular activities. Naperville is a great town and Highlands is truly an extraordinary school.
Although the overall test scores are quite high there are some issues. The security is lax. The special education is short on teachers thus not allowing for proper help for all needs. The arts and music program is good. The building is inviting.
I attended Scott Elementary and this school and remember the wonderful support provided by the principal. He was often walking the halls and greeting children or stopping to talk. The 'Jelly Bean Days' at the end of the year were very memorable and the playground one of the best around.
