The differential diagnosis of patients who experience symptoms of paresthesias, derealization, dizziness, chest pain, tremors, and palpitations can be quite challenging. These symptoms occur across a wide range of disorders, including cardiac, psychiatric, and neurological disorders. It can be particularly difficult to differentiate partial seizures without generalization of temporal lobe origin from panic disorder, as all of the above symptoms can be found in both conditions.7,8 In fact, panic disorder has been found to be the most common condition that must be distinguished from seizure disorder.9 The possibility that panic disorder and temporal lobe epilepsy with ictal fear can be comorbid has also been raised.10
Panic disorder occurs in 1% to 3% of the population. Older estimates place the incidence of seizures at 0.03%, with ictal fear occurring in one-third of these patients.11,12 New estimates place lifetime incidence of epilepsy at 3%.13 Although a rare occurrence, multiple case reports have documented that patients initially diagnosed with panic disorder may later receive a diagnosis of temporal lobe seizures. Initial patient presentation can be quite varied.14—18 It has been proposed that panic attacks with an onset consistent with an epileptic aura may sometimes be the result of simple partial seizures with a psychological presentation.19 This hypothesis is supported by several lines of evidence, including concomitant symptoms, multiple cases with initial diagnosis of panic disorder but eventual electroencephalographic (EEG) documentation of seizures, comorbidity of the two conditions, nonepileptic EEG abnormalities in panic disorder, the proposed amygdala-driven kindling of the fear network, and limited clinical data suggesting successful treatment of panic attacks with antiepileptic medications.19
The literature does provide guidance for distinguishing between these two conditions:8,11 panic attacks are generally longer in duration than seizures; ictal episodes are more stereotyped, whereas panic episodes are likely to vary more in presentation; although seizure disorders may initially present with fear/anxiety, they may progress to the more classic symptoms (e.g., olfactory auras, aphasias, amnestic features, motionless state, visceral automatisms); initial presentation of these classic epileptic features (i.e., before the fear/panic feelings) suggests seizures; panic disorder is more likely associated with agoraphobia (50% of cases); panic disorder has stronger familial links (25% for first-degree relatives); panic disorder can be worsened by emotional distress; presence of temporal lobe lesions on imaging can indicate epilepsy; and some treatments for panic disorder can worsen seizures (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants).8,9 If the presentation is suggestive of epilepsy, EEG examination may be required to identify the characteristic spike/wave pattern of seizure discharge. A full evaluation for epilepsy may require 24-hour EEG and video monitoring or intracerebral depth electrodes with subdural grid arrays, as these procedures can sometimes identify abnormal electrical discharges not observed on routine EEG.18,20,21 High resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended for visualization of the deep temporal lobe structures.2,22 This is particularly important for reliable separation of the amygdala and hippocampus in order to obtain accurate volume measurements.23 Given the similar clinical features and divergent treatments for these two diagnoses, it is imperative for the clinician to understand the neuroanatomical features of the temporal lobe and the noninvasive imaging techniques available to assist in decision-making.
The mesial temporal lobe contains structures that are part of the limbic circuits, including the amygdala and hippocampus (Figure 1).1,2,24 These structures have been implicated in the genesis of both panic disorder and seizure disorders.8,9,18 Fear and panic have been elicited by electrical stimulation of the amygdala.25—29 These symptoms can also occur as the initial symptoms of temporal lobe discharges.7,14,30 Abnormal electrical activity in the frontal lobes, due either to spread from the temporal lobe or to a frontal focus, has also been found to be associated with fear or panic.30
It is a common finding that temporal lobe structures, particularly the hippocampus and amygdala, are decreased in volume in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.23,31 One study reported that amygdala volume was more decreased in temporal lobe epilepsy patients who reported experiencing fear during seizure onset than in those who did not.32 However, a later study from the same group did not confirm this association.33
Earlier studies compared volumetric measurement of temporal lobe structures between patients with panic disorder and healthy individuals based upon edge-tracing regions-of-interest.34—36 One study reported that only the amygdala was decreased in size (bilaterally).34 This study found no differences in the volumes of the hippocampus or the whole temporal lobe, and no anatomic measure correlated significantly with any clinical or demographic measure. In contrast, two studies found the volume of the temporal lobe (on the left in one, bilaterally in the other) was significantly decreased, but not the volume of the hippocampus or amygdala.35,36 One study found a perplexing inverse correlation between duration of panic disorder and hippocampal volume, with a more recent onset associated with a smaller hippocampus.35 Recently, several groups have utilized voxel-based morphometry to compare gray matter volumes of patients with panic disorder (diagnosis confirmed by a structured clinical interview [SCID], no mention made of any EEG studies) to healthy individuals.37—39 With strict statistical criteria applied, there is little agreement, with one study reporting decreased gray matter only in the parahippocampal gyrus, the second reporting decreases only in the putamen, and the third reporting increased gray matter in several areas of the brainstem as well as ventral hippocampus. With less stringent statistical criteria, decreased gray matter volume was also found in the inferior and superior frontal and temporal gyri, and increased gray matter volume was found in the middle temporal gyrus in at least two of the three studies, although the laterality was not always the same. None reported changes in the amygdala. An inverse correlation was reported between volume of the putamen and clinical symptoms, with a lower volume associated with greater symptom severity and illness duration.38
The diversity of these findings may be due, at least in part, to differences in the measurement techniques employed. Edge-tracing region-of-interest analysis is based on the recognition of anatomic landmarks that are used to hand-trace regions onto magnetic resonance images. This approach has the advantage that individual differences in anatomy can be easily taken into account. It is also stronger statistically, because fewer comparisons need to be made. However, fewer areas can be assessed. Anatomic criteria and anatomic expertise vary across studies. Image resolution and section thickness also vary, a critical factor when small structures, such as the amygdala, are measured. Voxel-based morphometry provides a method of automatic analysis of the entire brain, allowing many more areas to be compared. However, this creates a statistical challenge. The likelihood of getting a false positive increases with the number of comparisons made. A mathematical correction for multiple comparisons must be performed. This approach also requires transformation of each individual's data onto an average brain template, which inevitably results in some distortion of individual anatomy, and often in some loss in image resolution, particularly if smoothing is also performed. In addition, image voxels are relatively large in terms of the size of many structures in the brain. If 1-mm sections with an in-plane resolution of 1-mm are acquired, for example, the cortical ribbon would be no more than three voxels wide. As a result, many voxels contain both gray and white matter, and partial-volume averaging is inevitable.
Finally, there is also diversity across studies including patient population and medication status. It should also be noted that EEG was not used to rule out any electrical abnormalities. As noted above, temporal lobe epilepsy has also been associated with reduced amygdala volumes as well as multiple areas of temporal lobe injuries.
Given the common abnormal structural findings in both conditions, functional imaging may be needed to further inform the differential for panic disorder from temporal lobe epilepsy.
During an epileptic seizure (ictus) there is an increase in both blood flow and metabolism in the seizure focus. Generally, seizures are brief, lasting only seconds to minutes. During the immediate postictal period, there is a drastic fall to a state of severe hypoperfusion. This is followed by a gradual recovery to a lessened level of hypoperfusion, which becomes the new resting state. This sequence is called the "postictal switch." Thus, interictally, there is a general hypometabolism in the abnormal area, and at times in the surrounding cortex, subcortical nuclei, or even in the contralateral temporal lobe. Comparative studies indicate that this depressed state deepens with the duration of the seizure disorder, with cerebral metabolism more affected than cerebral blood flow.40 This mismatch between metabolism and blood flow indicates that 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), which provides images of cerebral metabolic rate, will more accurately delineate the seizure focus for scans acquired during the interictal period than single photon emission tomography (SPECT), which provides images of cerebral blood flow.40,41
Both SPECT and FDG-PET are used to identify areas of seizure focus, evaluate patients for surgical resection of the affected temporal cortex, and to predict clinical outcome postsurgery.13,31 A major advantage of SPECT is the ability to capture ictal activity (i.e., hyperperfusion), due to rapid (e.g., 30 to 60 seconds) radiotracer uptake.31 Ictal SPECT scans are compared to the interictal SPECT to determine the area of seizure focus (areas that are "hot" during the seizure and "cold" between seizures) (Figure 2). The sensitivity and accuracy of this technique are reported to be approximately 80%.13 In clinical practice it is likely to be somewhat lower than this. Many research studies include patients for whom nuclear imaging would not be required because the seizure focus can be identified by visualization of lesions on structural images.
FDG-PET has higher image resolution, but radiotracer uptake is generally too slow for ictal imaging. The better spatial resolution of interictal FDG-PET scanning does allow for quantitative evaluation of abnormal areas that can be compared with the structural magnetic resonance (MR) images. Current FDG-PET techniques allow statistical parametric mapping that can identify abnormal areas sometimes not evident on visual interpretation. Both FDG-PET and SPECT are more valuable in conjunction with inpatient video EEG monitoring. Partial-volume averaging may cause small areas of abnormality to artificially appear healthier than they really are. Nonlimbic (nontemporal lobe) seizures are more likely to have normal interictal scans than are limbic/temporal lesions. FDG-PET and SPECT may identify patients who have two independent areas of seizure focus, not identifiable on structural imaging or by EEG data. Additionally, they can identify temporal lobe dysfunction in atypical panic/fear episodes signaling the need for an epilepsy investigation. Two recent case reports illustrate a clinical presentation of atypical fear/panic attacks resulting from mesial temporal sclerosis. In each case, nuclear imaging identified the temporal lobe hypometabolism/hypoperfusion of the epileptic focus.17,42
Areas of abnormal metabolism or blood flow may be present at a distance from the epileptic focus. Statistical parametric mapping was used to assess the extent of both ictal and interictal cerebral blood flow (SPECT) alterations in patients with mesial temporal sclerosis compared with healthy individuals.43 In addition to the expected increased perfusion in the ipsilateral temporal lobe (including the temporal stem white matter), ictal SPECT identified areas of hyperperfusion in the contralateral temporal lobe, anterior frontal lobe (left-sided focus) and parietal lobe (right-sided focus). Areas of decreased perfusion on interictal SPECT included hippocampus, thalamus, midbrain, superior paracentral lobule, insula (left-sided focus), and cingulate gyrus (right-sided focus). The authors of this study noted that these results are consistent with functional impairment of the cortico-thalamo-hippocampal circuit. A recent study compared the localization of interictal hypometabolism (FDG-PET) with the outcome of surgery.44 Patients with hypometabolism confined to the temporal cortex containing the focus had better outcomes (78% seizure-free) than patients with hypometabolism in additional ipsilateral areas (45% seizure-free) or contralateral areas (22% seizure-free).
Two studies have used statistical parametric mapping to compare cerebral metabolic rate (FDG-PET) of patients with panic disorder (medication free) with healthy individuals (Figure 3).4,6 Both found increases in hippocampus and parahippocampal structures. One also found increases in the thalamus, cerebellum, medulla, and pons.4 The authors of this study4 noted that these areas are part of the amygdala-based fear network. The other study found decreases in inferior parietal and superior temporal areas.6 A third study of medication-free patients with panic disorder utilized visual and semiquantitative analysis of regional cerebral blood flow (SPECT).5 They found significantly decreased perfusion only in the inferior frontal area (Figure 3). The authors commented that this might be due to an inhibitory influence from the amygdala. None of the above studies reported any correlation between functional imaging findings and clinical symptoms. In contrast, a study that compared cerebral perfusion (SPECT) in medicated patients with panic disorder to healthy individuals found decreases only in the superior temporal lobe (Figure 3, right). This study reported an inverse correlation between blood flow and both duration of illness and clinical symptoms (lower perfusion with higher scores).3 One group performed a second functional imaging examination (FDG-PET) at the conclusion of 10 sessions (over 6 months) of cognitive behavior therapy.45 Most of the patients (11/12) were responsive to treatment. In comparison with pre-treatment levels, the responsive group exhibited normalization of cerebral metabolism, with decreases in the hippocampus, cerebellum, and pons, and increases in the medial prefrontal cortex bilaterally. Overall, these results are consistent with altered reactivity in the fear circuitry that may normalize with successful treatment.
As radio-tracers for a variety of neurotransmitter receptors become more widely available, they add yet another nuclear imaging tool that may help to clarify temporal lobe function and pathology. At the present time, ligands for the benzodiazepine-GABAA receptor, the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, and the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor have been evaluated for their ability to improve visualization of the epileptic focus. Of these, only a handful of studies utilizing some of these ligands have been performed in patients with panic disorder.
GABA has been known to be associated with the temporal lobe, anxiety disorders, and seizures for many years.46,47 Ligands for the central benzodiazepine-GABAA receptor suitable for both PET (C11 flumazenil, FMZ) and SPECT (I123 iomazenil, IMZ) studies are available, although neither is yet approved for clinical use in the United States.48
Reduced benzodiazepine receptor binding has been demonstrated (by autoradiography) in surgically resected specimens from temporal lobe epilepsy patients.49 It has not yet been proven that either of the available benzodiazepine ligands is more accurate for delineation of the seizure focus than the functional imaging techniques already in clinical use (as detailed above).48,50—52 There are promising indications. When hippocampal sclerosis was present, the area of abnormality was often larger on FDG-PET than on FMZ-PET, which more closely matched the epileptogenic zone as determined by intracranial EEG.50 A case was recently published in which interictal IMZ SPECT provided correct laterality of the seizure focus (as determined by intracranial EEG) while ictal perfusion SPECT did not.53 Timing of the examination in relation to seizure activity may be a critical factor, as a recent study found within-subject short-term changes in binding.54 Lower values (better delineation of seizure focus) were obtained when the FMZ-PET was performed shortly after a seizure, suggesting a transient decrease in expression or availability. Given this evidence for dynamic seizure-related changes, the authors of the study recommend that benzodiazepine receptor imaging be performed within a few days following a seizure for best results. Larger studies in which this factor is taken into account are needed to better assess the value of this technique. Other potentially confounding factors include medication status (many antiepileptic medications affect GABA), comorbid psychiatric diagnoses, and variations in imaging technology.
Both increases and decreases in regional benzodiazepine binding have been reported when patients with panic disorder were compared with healthy individuals.55—57 Two studies included only patients with panic disorder that had never taken benzodiazepines.55,56 One, using FMZ-PET and statistical parametric mapping, reported both globally reduced binding and regional decreases in orbital (right) and insular (right) cortices in patients compared with healthy individuals.55 The other, using IMZ-SPECT and template-based analysis, reported increased binding in orbital cortex (right) and a trend toward increased binding in temporal cortex (right) in patients with panic disorder.56 The third study included patients with panic disorder who had been medication-free for at least 6 weeks.58 This IMZ-SPECT study utilized both statistical parametric mapping and region-of-interest analyses. No difference was found in global binding between the patient group and healthy individuals. Binding was decreased in the area of the hippocampus (left) and precuneus (left) and increased in caudate (right), medial frontal cortex (right) and middle temporal gyrus (left) in the patient group. Some patients experienced panic symptoms during scanning. Decreased binding in the medial frontal and superior frontal cortex (Brodmann's areas 8, 9, 10) correlated with increased symptoms. Diversity across studies may be due to methodological differences and/or variations in the patient population studied. While preliminary, these studies suggest that alterations in benzodiazepine binding in frontal areas may differentiate panic disorder patients from temporal lobe epilepsy patients. Further studies that explore the apparently dynamic relationship between symptom state and binding would be of great value.
Serotonin has been implicated in the pathophysiology of both panic disorder and seizure disorders.59,60 Ligands based on several 5-HT1A antagonists have been developed for PET imaging (C11 WAY100635; F18 trans-4 - fluoro - N - 2 - [4 - (2 - methoxyphenyl)piperazin - 1 - yl]ethyl] - N - (2 - pyridyl)cyclohexanecarboxaminde, FCWAY; F18 4 - [2' - (N - 2 - pirydynyl) - p - fluorobenzamido] - ethylpiperazine, MPPF).
Several groups have evaluated 5-HT1A receptor binding in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.61—66 All found decreased receptor binding in the mesial temporal lobe containing the seizure focus, in areas of seizure spread, and in the area of the brainstem raphe. Localization was reported to be better than with cerebral blood flow or metabolic rate imaging in some studies.61,62 One group found an inverse correlation between abnormal intracerebral activity and binding potential.63 The most profound decreases in binding potential were in areas of seizure onset; moderate decreases were found in areas of seizure spread, with only mild decreases in areas of interictal activity. These results are promising, but must still be considered preliminary. The importance of correcting for partial volume averaging and for differences in plasma binding related to antiepileptic medications has been emphasized by one group.65,66
One study comparing unmedicated patients with panic disorder to healthy individuals found decreased 5-HT1A receptor binding in the anterior and posterior cingulate cortices and the raphe area, with no differences in anterior insular, mesiotemporal or anterior temporal cortices.67 Another reported decreased binding principally in amygdala and orbitofrontal and temporal cortices as well as the raphe area.68 This study compared binding in an ummedicated patient group with a patient group successfully treated with SSRIs. They reported normalization of binding in all areas except the raphe.
In conclusion, although the current diagnostic classification defines panic disorder and simple partial seizure disorder as two separate entities, they clearly share similar features and common symptoms and may occur as comorbidities. Rarely, patients diagnosed with panic disorder later show evidence of mesial temporal sclerosis and EEG-proven seizure foci. The close clinical presentations of these two conditions call for a very thorough medical evaluation of those patients with preliminary suspicions of panic disorder and symptoms similar to a seizure aura. If possible, this should include high resolution MRI (with particular attention paid to the mesial temporal cortex) and nuclear imaging. Future studies utilizing new technologies may assist in distinguishing these two entities or in further defining their common pathological base. Nuclear imaging may prove helpful in this endeavor, as very early work may indicate divergent scan findings—especially with receptor-specific ligands.

EOG Resources Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (EOG)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 7.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 7.7%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $1,436.37 million or 12.89% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -15.36%.
- EOG RESOURCES INC's earnings per share declined by 34.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, EOG RESOURCES INC increased its bottom line by earning $4.08 versus $0.63 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.40 versus $4.08).
- The gross profit margin for EOG RESOURCES INC is currently very high, coming in at 80.40%. Regardless of EOG's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, EOG's net profit margin of 12.40% compares favorably to the industry average.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.46, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 1.07 is sturdy.

What it means in the coming days and weeks is that Obama may try to get the Libyan military to hunt down and detain those responsible for the attack — if that fails then the SEALs could be called in.
In his book No Easy Day, about the raid on Osama bin Laden, former SEAL Matt Bissonnette talks about getting ready for a combat deployment, meeting at Team 6 HQ in Norfolk, Va. and getting ready to go.
On that day Bissonnette asked a more experienced SEAL what he should bring. The senior SEAL stopped, looked at his new teammate and said: "Dude, what do you think you need to bring for deployment? Load it ... Bring what you think you need."
The following list is what Bissonnette said, in the book, he needed.

A 19-year-old Lawrenceville man's statement to Milton police after his arrest reads like a how to for financial transaction fraud.
The suspect was detained by a loss prevention officer at Fry's on April 11 after he bought an Apple MacBook Pro 17" laptop. The cashier noted that one number was on the Visa "1-2-3 Rewards" debit card, while another account number showed on the store's credit card reader.
Another man who walked in with this suspect and also picked up a MacBook Pro had his transaction declined, but he left after the first suspect was detained.
The suspect told Milton police a friend drove him to Fry's but his car was found in the lot. Inside the car police found four debit cards, a driver's license, a piece of paper with personal information of another man, cell pones, $647 in cash, another MacBook Pro–and a credit card reader/writer.
The suspect said he bought the credit card reader/writer off of eBay a few months ago for $200. He said he obtains "dump"–available credit card accounts with funds–from an online forum. He named two web addresses, but said those change often because of police. He explained the sites aren't open to just anybody. You have to be invited, and three other users have to vouch for you. then you can go shopping for these dumps and cvv's (credit card security codes). He pays $20 for a signature "dump," but the prices go up by the class of the card. He uses an account based in China and mostly deals with Russians and Nigerians.
With all of this information, he is able to put the "dumps" onto loadable gift cards he gets from grocery stores.
He also said the MacBook Pro laptops were to be sold online, with the two men sharing the proceeds.
Christian Ry Cangeopol, 19, of Lawrenceville, was cited with criminal attempt financial transaction fraud, financial transaction card fraud, identity fraud and possession of financial card forgery devices. He was jailed on April 12 and released on $30,000 bond on April 13.
Government Grant Scam Too Good to be True
A Milton man fell victim to a scam that was just too good to be true.
The local resident told Milton police on April 9 that he was called by a man who told him if he paid $850, he would receive a $10,000 grant from the government. So he sent three money orders to people in India so he would receive the grant. He has not heard from them since he sent the money, and believes it was a scam.
Milton Residents Discover Identity Fraud When Filing Taxes
A Milton man filed his taxes through H&R Block on April 9, but the next day he received an email from the company telling him the IRS already had a return. The victim was told a return had been filed with his Social Security number and a refund check already had been mailed.
Following advice from the IRS, on April 10 he called the FTC, Social Security administration, all three credit agencies and Milton police to report his Social Security number had been used fraudulently.
And a day after this report was filed, another Milton resident was telling police she, too, was victim of identity theft in a similar manner. She reported to police that when her CPA filed her taxes on April 11, the IRS said a tax return had already been filed using her Social Security number. So she also notified her banks and credit agencies about the identity fraud.
Sawnee Electric Cutoff Visit First Warning of Identity Fraud
A Milton woman first learned she was the victim of identity fraud when Sawnee Electric stopped by her house to turn off her power.
She was told this was because she had a past due amount of $245.51, but the victim said she never received a March bill. So she immediately logged onto her account via the Internet, and discovered an additional account under her name, but with a different address. The person who added that account on Feb. 8 used her full name and the last four digits of her Social Security number.
Regular Bank Account Check Catches Fraud
A Milton resident discovered two fraudulent charges of approximately $350 on his Wells Fargo debit card made at 11 p.m. on April 13.
He told Milton police that he last checked his account online on April 11, and there were no fraudulent charges.

Our Energy Choices: Renewable Energy
The movement of wind and water, the heat and light of the sun, the carbohydrates in plants, and the warmth in the Earth—all are energy sources that can supply our needs in a sustainable way. A variety of methods are used to convert these renewable resources into electricity. Each comes with its own unique set of technologies, benefits, and challenges.
Wind Power
Wind turbines harness air currents and convert them to emissions-free power. Plentiful and inexhaustible in the United States and around the world, wind power is one of the fastest growing renewable technologies and has the potential to provide a significant portion of our electricity needs.

Solar Power
Solar energy—power from the sun—is a vast and inexhaustible resource. Just 20 days of sunshine contains more energy than the world's entire supply of coal, oil, and natural gas. A range of technologies is used to convert the sun's energy into electricity, including solar collectors and photovoltaic panels.

How Solar Energy Works
Solar Water Heating
Biomass—plant material and animal waste—is one of the oldest sources of renewable energy, used since our ancestors learned the secret of fire. Now we have the technology to efficiently convert it to electricity.
Learn more:
Geothermal Energy
Heat from the earth can be used as an energy source in many ways, from large and complex power stations to small and relatively simple residential pumping systems.
Learn more:
Hydroelectric Power
Using dams to exploit the movement of water for electricity, known as hydroelectric power, is the largest source of renewable power in the United States and worldwide.

How Hydroelectric Energy Works
Hydrokinetic Energy
The power of moving water is obvious to anyone who has stood amidst breaking waves or struggled to swim against a river's current. New technologies enable us to harness the might of rivers, tides, and waves for electricity.
Learn more:
Is Nuclear Power Clean Energy? Yes and no.
Nuclear power is "clean" from an emissions standpoint—nuclear power plants produce no air pollution or global warming emissions when they operate—but nuclear power has the potential to cause catastrophic damage to human health and the environment in the event of a meltdown or other disaster.
Learn more about the risks and potential of nuclear power.
Benefits and Impacts of Renewable Energy
Renewable energy has the potential to reduce pollution, slow global warming, create new industries and jobs, and move America toward a cleaner, healthier energy future. But renewable energy is not without its challenges and impacts.

Parking veto stands in cityBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | March 19,2013Parking will remain free on Saturdays for the foreseeable future.
Mayor Christopher Louras' veto of a measure to enforce the parking meter ordinance stood at the close of Monday's Board of
Aldermen meeting. Alderman Gary Donahue made a motion to sustain the veto, but that motion failed for lack of a second and, it turns out, was unnecessary.
"We didn't do anything," Donahue said Tuesday. "By not doing anything, we sustained the veto. We didn't take any action and it just died right there."
Donahue said Alderman Jon Kiernan attempted to have the issue sent back to committee, but that motion failed for lack of a second.
Even without the veto, City Attorney Andrew Costello had said the board's action was likely invalid as it was based on a misunderstanding of the ordinance.
When the board met March 4, the members voted unanimously to support what they believed was the current policy of the police chief, who they believed had authority over the subject, to enforce the parking ordinance Monday through Saturday.
Shortly after that vote, however, Mayor Louras said that the police chief had no such policy and blamed the belief to the contrary on a miscommunication. A review of city records found that the board has the authority to set the times of enforcement and voted in 1994 to enforce it Monday through Friday.

Paying Their Fair Share?
I get a kick out of some people on the far left calling for "economic justice." Hmm, some of us might say that it's quite just that folks who don't want to do anything to help themselves would not do very well economically.
In arguing against "soak the rich" proposals, Governor Romney and others would have been well advised to drop the "job creators" nonsense, when the so-called creators had gotten rather favorable tax policies from President Bush and we still got a terrible recession with high unemployment. The voters didn't buy the GOP argument.
What the Republicans should have done was appeal to people's sense of basic fairness. Even if you agree with a progressive tax system, it is simply not fair for someone to have as much as two-thirds of his income taken by the government.
For obvious reasons, politicians don't want to be seen as defenders of the rich. But making a case for fairness could still be plausible. At least, I'd like to think so.
Not really unchanged, Lee. Now the poor had conscription.
"(I mean, we have to let the rich keep some of their money, huh?)"
I've read a lot more about the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 than I have so far about other revolutions, Regis, but I'm getting the sense that this isn't true. (I think you were being sarcastic, but I'll comment as if you were serious.) Even the TV series "Downton Abbey" has made reference to how Irish Republican revolutionaries turned aristocrats from their homes (burning the homes, rather than seizing them, but still the rich didn't get to keep anything).
Interestingly, "Les Miserables" shows how the cry for "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" resulted in a new aristocracy and an unchanged class of wretchedly poor people rather than actual "égalité". As Orwell's "Animal Farm" put it, "Some are more equal than others."
And in light of all the preceding, I wonder if Gerard Depardieu will have to go from France to Russia to Ireland to . . . ?
But to your primary point, I would not be surprised to see the seizure of wealth to affect its redistribution and to address some future power play by China (who might try something and expect us to not respond since they hold so much of our debt). This would fail, as the article points out, but would erase the demonized "rich" - except, of course, for rich Democratic donors like those in Hollywood, union leaders, energy industry speculators, etc.
The problem is that no one considers themselves to be "the rich" even though most of us are in fact rich.
Boiling it down
To paraphrase and summarize, one Voegli's key points...
If we consider the "rich" as the "one-percenters" (that is, anyone making over $352,055 per year) and soak them for all they have in a new 100% tax bracket, it would generate $1.042 trillion in additional tax revenue, substantially less than that needed for our $1.293 trillion deficit.
Given the unlikelihood of a 100% tax bracket (I mean, we have to let the rich keep some of their money, huh?), eliminating the deficit would require, either 1) pinching the rich for 90% of their income and the not-quite rich (those making between $150,400 and $352,055) for 70% of theirs, or 2) substantially raising the taxes on the "un-rich" (that is, everyone else).
For those would favor the former option, the recent flight of Gerard Depardieu from France to Russia is a warning that countries that heavily tax the "rich" may soon have no rich to tax. And for those who favor the second and thought of "Occupy Wall Street" as a movement of the 99%, they haven't seen nothin' yet.

I LOVE this shampoo and use it all the time on my foster kittens, often when they are only a few days old. It is safe to use on nursing and pregnant cats. I have never had a problem with it and I have used it on MANY kittens. It dosen't smell the greatest but it is safe and works well!! I keep several bottles of it on hand in my house.
Pros: ok for young animals
Cons: smell isn't the greatest

There's a brand new Angel in the outfield. Free agent slugger Josh Hamilton moved across the American League West from the Texas Rangers to the LA Angels.
Hamilton and the Angels agreed to a five year, $125 million dollar contract.
The 31 year old is only the second major leaguer to have a deal worth at least $25 million per season, Alex Rodriguez is the other.
The 2010 American League MVP has batted .304 in his big-league career, all but 90 games of it in Texas. He has provided big power in the middle of the Rangers' lineup, helping the team to world series appearances in 2010 and '11.
The Rangers had hoped to resign Hamilton, and some teams saw him as a risk because of his history of alcohol and substance abuse.
Hamilton joins a team that spent big last offseason to add first baseman Albert Pujols for $240 million and pitcher C.J. Wilson for $77.5 million.
Yet, the Angels disappointed and failed to make the playoffs.

The Suicide of Lucretia by Joos van Cleve Flemish,1520-25 (Detail)
The story of the rape of Lucretia was one of the best-known episodes in the early history of Rome. It told how Sextus Tarquinius, brutal son of the tyrannical king, forced the virtuous wife Lucretia to accede to his lust by threatening that he would kill both her and her servant-boy if she refused, and afterwards claim that he had discovered them together in the act of adultery. To prevent this dishonour to her husband and family, Lucretia permitted herself to be raped, and was thereby able to tell her story and demand vengeance before she committed suicide.
Lucretia is portrayed at three-quarter length with the upper body bared to reveal her breasts spilling from precious fabrics and with jewellery draped across her naked skin. The female figure convey an immediate impression of beauty and luxury.

Speed cameras along Interstate 295 generated nearly $24 million for the District over the past year, more than a quarter of the $85 million raised by all speed cameras in the city, AAA Mid-Atlantic reported.
The highway, also known as the Anacostia Freeway, straddles the east side of the District and crosses over into Maryland to become the Baltimore Washington Parkway. The speed limit on much of the road is 50 mph.
I-295 has four of the top 10 moneymaking cameras for the District, AAA Mid-Atlantic, a frequent critic of the city using the cameras to generate revenue.

DELICIOUS, easy, and now only 214 calories per serving!! This is my modification of a Chicken Tikka Masala recipe on this site. It sounded great, but I wanted to use less oil, didn't want to buy garam masala (when I had the ingredients for it on hand already), added a missing ingredient into the calorie count, and reduced the serving size. Still very yummy!

This is how I make chai when I need something warm that makes me feel enveloped in comfort without the added calories of my former addiction: hot chocolate. It's spicier (in a warming way that is very soothing) and lighter in taste than any chai from a coffee shop. The method is also quite authentic. If you can, make sure to use fresh, whole cardamom pods, whole cloves, and freshly ground black pepper. You can also add a couple of drops of vanilla extract or use a very small amount of fresh ginger. The recipe is calculated with four teaspoons of sugar, but it is completely up to you.

Three men are dead after a tractor-trailer hauling gasoline crashed and caught fire after hitting two vehicle on Interstate 81 in Smyth County, VA. The accident happened Wednesday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. near mile marker 54.Authorities released the name of the third victim who was driving a road maintenance vehicle called a "crash cushion truck". He has been identified as Kenterrious L. Christian, 27, of Taylor,
S.C. Christian died en-route to the hospital., but state police say they are still trying to notify his next of kin.
The driver of the tanker truck, identified as 48-year-old Frank Skeens, Jr., of Castlewood, VA, and 30-year-old Trevor Blankenship, of Lebanon, VA, died at the scene.
Troopers on the scene told us the tanker truck, loaded with 8500 gallons of gas, was traveling in a southbound lane when, according to witnesses, the truck swerved and overcorrected.
Police say that's when the tanker truck hit the first vehicle, exploded and then slammed into a road maintenance vehicle called a "crash cushion truck."
Authorities say, "When the tractor trailer overturned it spilled fuel on the interstate as well as on other vehicles. The two other vehicles involved were doing a mobile lane closure doing construction on the interstate so they were doing construction at the time. The fuel spilled over onto those vehicles and at that time we know now that we have three fatalities."
Police said they are still trying to contact the family of the driver of the crash cushion truck.
Meanwhile, the southbound lanes of Interstate 81 near mile marker 54 are closed at this hour.
VDOT crews were still assessing the condition of the roadway Thursday due to the intensity of the explosion.
News Channel 11 is following this story. We'll have the latest information as soon as it becomes available.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A California lawmaker who is a vocal advocate for gun rights was briefly detained at an airport on Wednesday after bringing a loaded gun to a security checkpoint, authorities said.
California state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Republican, was cited and released, Los Angeles Airport Police said in a statement. Donnelly said he forgot he had packed the gun in a carry-on bag.
He was stopped at a U.S. Transportation Security Administration X-ray screening station when a .45-caliber Colt handgun was discovered, said Nico Melendez, a spokesman for the agency.
Donnelly was on his way to board a Southwest Airlines flight at Ontario International Airport, about 40 west of Los Angeles. The flight was destined for the state capital Sacramento.
His gun had four rounds inside and a spare magazine had an additional five rounds, Melendez said.
"When I arrived at the security check point, an X-ray machine revealed that I had forgotten to remove a gun from my carry-on luggage," Donnelly said in a written statement.
"At that time, I was questioned by airport police, cited for possession of an unloaded firearm. I was released as soon as it was determined that I was not a threat. I boarded the next flight without incident," he said.
Donnelly was mistakenly cited for possession of an unloaded firearm, but his citation would be changed to possession of a loaded gun because the weapon had rounds inside, airport police said in a statement.
The gun was handed over to the Ontario Police Department.
The citation for possession of a gun is a misdemeanor, and Donnelly faces a maximum of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine, Airport Police spokeswoman Sergeant Belinda Nettles said.
TSA agents found more than 1,200 handguns in carry-on bags at U.S. airports in 2011, Melendez said.
Donnelly has been a vocal advocate for gun rights, and he sharply criticized California Governor Jerry Brown last year when the Democrat signed into law a ban on openly carrying handguns in the state.
Donnelly, 45, was due to appear in court at a later date for bringing a gun to the airport, police said.

Who's Afraid of Science?
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).

Religion, Science, and Society
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
Creation Unfolding: Reading Genesis in a Historical Setting
For my part, the historical setting of the text plays an important role in how I read. It's not a problem in my view to see the authors of Genesis embedded in their times, writing in the scientific/mythological terms they knew, even if those terms are now obsolete.
Video repost: Chris Tilling on Biblical Genre and Relational Truths
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
Interview with Ronald Osborn
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
A Review of "Death Before the Fall: Biblical Literalism and the Problem of Animal Suffering" by Ronald E. Osborn
The confident assertion that the Bible trumps science stems from a misunderstanding of the purpose of the scriptures, and a misapplication of the Bible to answer questions that can only be answered by the application of science.

This study is looking for a better way to define rectal tumors undergoing pre-operative radiation. MRI scanning generally results in more clear definition of the tumor that CT scanning. Insertion of radio opaque clips in the tumor site could also help to visualize the tumor better for radiotherapy treatment planning. The investigators believe both techniques would help the physician to define to cancer better than using CT scan alone. The investigators also will compare both techniques to define the better way to define the tumor.

Intervention Details:Detailed Description:
Radiation: Radiation
No treatment intervention is planned. Patients will be scanned and treated as per department standards. The patient will have MRI at the time of their standard plan. They will then have clips inserted to mark the tumor after the standard scan is performed. The MRI and additional imaging with clips in place will be processed by 3 investigators who will contour based on the experimental image and compare this with the standard treated plan. Comparison of volumes in a blinded manner between investigators will also occur. The patients treatment will not be affected by the MRI or clip placement.
- The use of endoscopically placed mucosal metal clips to define the superior and inferior extent of the rectal tumor will improve the accuracy of tumor localization in patients undergoing non-contrast CT simulation.
- A 3T-MRI will provide a better localization of the rectal tumor and pelvic nodes compared to non-contrast CT simulation for radiotherapy treatment planning.
- By comparing these two novel methods to the standard procedure, we would be able to define any difference between the three methods and obtain an estimate of the accuracy and reliability of each method for the localization of the rectal tumor.

A bomb threat halted Metra trains on the Union Pacific North line near the Rogers Park station for about 30 minutes Tuesday morning.
Officials stopped inbound and outbound trains near the station from about 6:55 a.m. until police gave clearance for trains to move again, Metra spokesman Tom Miller said.
About 5:56 a.m. police received "some type of hand-scribbled note" indicating there was a bomb at the station, said police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.
Trains resumed service at the station about 7:25 a.m., Miller said.
