Misty Cummings' Haleigh Story Shaky
Misty Cummings has not been ruled out as a suspect in the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings.
That was over a month ago and as the story continues to unfold, there are many inconsistencies in Misty's story. From what Haleigh was wearing to the order of events that fateful night, Misty can't seem to keep her story straight. Although 17-year-old Misty is now a married woman -- tying the knot with Haleigh's father last week -- she is still barely an adult and many attribute her ever-changing time line to nervousness and immaturity. Whatever the reasons, the question has become: was Misty even home at the time of Haleigh's disappearance?
Misty told authorities that she put both Haleigh and the girl's younger brother to bed at about 8 PM. Then, around 3 AM, she got up to go to the bathroom. That's when she noticed Haleigh was missing. Contradicting this story are tips received by the Putman County Sheriff's Office alleging Misty was not home at the time of Haleigh's disappearance.
Standing in front of the courthouse where she and Cummings obtained their marriage license, Misty told reporters she had passed a polygraph test. "I passed my lie detector test. I was home," said a confident Misty. Weeks earlier, Ron Cummings also told reporters that he and Misty had passed their lie detector tests with "flying colors." But according to attorney Robin Sax, a former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, it is unlikely the results of her polygraph test would be released until after the investigation had been finalized.
Furthermore, says Sax, the idea that a polygraph is pass or fail is a common misconception. "Misty Cummings might have answered truthfully when asked if she was actually responsible for Haleigh's disappearance or if she killed her, but we don't know what questions were asked," she says.
Do you think Misty Cummings is telling everything she knows about Haleigh's disappearance?
Listen to Misty Cummings' 911 call:
If you have seen Haleigh, or know anything about her disappearance, call 911 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 277-TIPS (8477).
|Robin Sax is a former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney who specialized in prosecuting sex crimes against children. She is the author of six books, including "Predators and Child Molesters: What Every Parent Needs to Know To Keep Kids Safe". Robin lives with her husband and three children in Los Angeles, California.
I'm first to comment? Anyway I smell a rat. Things just don't seem right with this bunch.
There are several things that irked me from the beginning. A cousin visited, but she didn't know his name? She knew him well enough to know he was always in trouble. How can you NOT know your cousin's name?
Thankfully FL recently passed a law that will not take into consideration marital status in the case of testifying against a spouse in cases like this.
I look at the map of the area and think "wow, here is so much water in the area". She could be anywhere….
Robin Sax is wrong about polygraphs. They most definitely are pass or fail. And it is not unheard of for polygraph operators to tell examinees the result. To the best of my knowledge, the FBI, which reportedly polygraphed Misty Cummings, has not disputed her claim to have passed.
This is so sad,Look at these kidnappings or what ever they are that have happened lately.You've got the crazzy Anthony's and now these crazzy Cummings!!!!! I did'nt think anything could beat the Anthony's,now we've got a 25 yr old man marring a 17 yr old girl,both of them look strung out half the time.Ron's little five year old daughter is missing and in the meanwhile he goes and marry's a child!!!! Misty is gulity and now I believe Ron is,who knows maybe the bio-mom to!!!!! None of them look to stable. Ron has an arrest record a mile long due to durgs and so does the bio-mom.The child bride Misty is'nt the sharpest tool in the shed. She saids the little girl was wearing a pink shirt and then it's found in the laundry room. The back door is locked,or maybe it was open,Haleigh was in the bed with her,then she was on a toddler mattress beside her.Come on if you have nothing to hide you do not have to lie.It kills me that people like this have children.Ron and Misty know what happened to Haleigh and I feel like this is another little Caylee Anthony story. Please pray for a little boy named William missing in Spartanburg ,SC he went missing last night and has'nt been found.He's two yr's old and is Artistic.
i hate how he always says "i don't know, i was at work" don't think so buddy. he knows something.
All I've got to say is Guilty!!
I think that maybe Haliegh disappeared BEFORE when they say she disappeared possibly even days before and MAYBE they set this scenario up after the fact to try and cover. Just a thought.
How do you determine a timeline after they are in bed? There are witnesses that have stated the grandmother saw Jr. and Haleigh at 7:30 pm. Misty put kids to bed to watch TV at 8 pm, does laundry (blankets),makes bed and then goes to bed her self at 10 pm. Is 10 pm to 3:27am the time in question or is it 7:30pm to 10 pm.
I believe misty is telling the truth but is unable to articulate the events to others. She is young and uneducated, her words have been misconstruded to imply she doesn't know what happen prior to going to bed her self or she is lying about the events that took place before and after she went to bed.
I want to know if Crystal's time line has been discussed. She was notified by Ron's mother at 3:40am of Haleigh's disappearance. She did not call her dad Johnny Sheffield till 5am. He lives 15 min away. Crystal did not show till mid morning. WHAT? WHY?
I just cant imagine what would prevent or delay a mother that has been told her 5yr old has been taken in the middle of the nigh out of her bed and is gone.
yeah…the whole story is too quickly fabricated…either the child was killed or it is a set up for publicity for fame an fortune…the lil girl was seen with a couple in Tn…Rons I was at work wont fly..Mistys I dont know is a joke…the scheme was probably cooked up between the couple and the cousin when he was down…I would expect Haleigh to be dropped off somewhere alone to be picked up, altho im sure ron an company are considering how to drop off the child and collect the reward…
Angela thank you so much for mentioning little William, I live in Spartanburg SC and we have so many people that have turned out to search for this child please pray for a safe return soon. As far as Haleigh we pray for her as well, GOD knows the truth as to what happened to this child and the truth will be revealed, it just doesn't add up.
Well i think they should have waited to get married. I just hope they find who did this ans that she is alive
Well Anonymous it was proven she was at school that day,but nobody seen her after she got home except for Ron and Misty.I truly believe that both of them did something to this little girl before Ron went to work. I also believe he went to work had Misty called him and then he went home to coach her on the 911 call.She's 17 and he's 25,he knew if they did this together he could keep her quiet.I believe he promised to marry her after they carried out this little plan. He had a history of dating teenagers,he can easily brain wash them. I also believe he has a very bad temper. He was on Nancy Grace Monday night and when she asked if the girl's parents gave Misty permission to marry him he got angry and threw up his hands rolling his eyes.There also has been several other times he's flew off the handle. You have to look at these families allowing your 17 yr old daughter to marry a 25 yr old man who's been arrested for durgs numerous times,how could they care about her.I think Ron knew she wanted love so he talked her into going along with him. Maybe in fact it was an accident and he went to far with spanking her and hitting her and he killed her,so to cover it up he planned this kidnapping scheme.They are not the brightest people,so they did'nt think before they made up this story of their's.From the evidence it shows this had to be an inside job. Nobody but family or really close friends could have known where the children slept and the door had to be propped open.You can't tell me that somebody came in the night knew where everything was,took time to sneak around and grab a child while they were sleeping 3 feet away from girlfriend,went back through trailer and turned on the kitchen light.No kiddnapper is gonna turn on a kitchen light and know everything about the childs sleeping arrangements.Nobody is gonna know the back door want stay open and bring a brick along with them to hold it open.It's common sense,they did'nt think out their cover up because they have no education.
I don't think Misty was home that night. While out of the house Haleigh has a medical issue due to her Turner syndrome.
Note: Girls and women with Turner syndrome are at risk for catastrophic aortic dissection and rupture which frequently resulted in death.
Misty returns to find Haleigh dead or near death, perhaps even trying to revive her by using Haleigh's inhaler but its to late. She panic's and knows Ron will kill her when he finds out she wasnât home. She calls her Cousin to help her. He takes the body and disposes of it somewhere between Florida and Tennessee. Misty and the cousin stage the back door to make it look like an intruder.
Mistyâs story isnât consistent because itâs only partially true. Ron hasnât a clue and thinks a perpetrator took Haleigh.
Maybe Misty "spanked" the child and hurt and/or killed her in the process.
Something i don't understand why did a 25 year old marry a 17 year old for in the first place and i think misty knows who has that little girl i think shes just wanting on the reward to go up and then shes going to call who ever has the baby and say the reward money is so AND so amout is that enough money to bring haleigh back in the state or florida or where ever shes is at this makes ma sick because misty keeps changing her story ( hey misty do you change your underwear as much as you change your story ) i think that if ron was not near her she would say what happened but shes scared what ron might to to her if she says where the baby is at
Ron Cummings knows Misty is'nt bright enough to carry this out by herself.I think she wanted police to believe the cousin was involved so she could'nt remember his name so he could'nt be found.That was really stuid and made her look even more guilty,you know her family was going to tell police his name. The cousin checked out and came of it. I don't believe if the cousin helped her she would have mention him at all.I agree with angela,they both are covering it up.
Nina I also live in Spartanburg SC,I really hope they find this litte boy soon.He has to be scared to death.
I think you are on to something we have seen ron's temper, now he has up and married a child as well, could that have been wishful thinking the wife can't testify against the husband sorry that is out the window the crime happened first.
I know there is alot of questions about the bio mom but I really don't believe she had anything to do with it. She had never been inside the home and why would she turn on the kitchen light,so she could be seen. And she would'nt have known to bring a brick to hold open the back door. I think she just wants in the spot light and she's making up stories.Jr said a man in black took his sister.She's just a nut case from all the drugs she's taken and her brain is fried.I'm sure Ron and Misty would have told if she was lying about being inside their home.MAybe she was to upset to call her dad and did'nt think about it untill later.The Police know something,they have quit searching and as we know in the Caylee Anthony story they searched for months.I believe the police are just waiting to put everything together and will have an arrest warrant soon.
So sad for this beautiful little girl. The story is a very strange one indeed that Misty is giving….it's so clear that she is not very bright, which could be why her story is so inconsistent. I do feel that Misty is involved, somehow. It also seems as if this sweet baby were abducted…it MUST have been someone who knew this family. It just does not add up! I know if one of my 4 little girls were missing, getting married would be the last thing on my mind…I know I would be in complete shock! So sad about the missing little boy, too, all of my prayers to finding this child, and Haleigh…Maybe drugs were involved, and Misty had no clue what was going on, or maybe she was not even there. I do not believe she herself hurt this child. I do believe neglect played a big part. I do so hope little Haliegh is found alive…May God be with you little Haleigh, and all of those who love you!!!!

Warning: Button Batteries Can Kill Your Child
The accidental swallowing of coin-sized lithium "button batteries" (which are found in many common household products) is a rapidly mounting threat to children, Health Day reports. A pair of new studies reveals that between 1985 and 2009, the risk that an American child will experience a serious health complication after ingesting a button battery has increased nearly sevenfold. Momlogic spoke with Michelle Truett, a mom of three who lost her baby after he swallowed a button battery. Now she wants to warn other moms about this hidden danger.
Michelle Truett: My 1-year-old boy, Aidan, passed away on November 22, 2009. Unbeknownst to us, he had swallowed a button battery.
Aidan had just turned 1 in October, and had always been a very healthy child. (I have two other kids -- ages 9 and 4.) In mid-November, he showed signs of having the flu; he was not holding any food down. I took him to the doctor, and he said Aidan had a viral infection and sent us home.
But he was not getting better -- he was getting worse. We took him back the next day and said we thought he had swallowed something. They did an X-ray of his stomach, but didn't find anything.
The next day, he had increased saliva and was so congested, so we took him for a second opinion. They didn't find anything.
We just knew something was wrong. We went to five or six doctor's appointments in a week and a half. We kept saying, "We think he has swallowed something." Exactly one week after the first X-ray, they did another one -- and found a button battery in his stomach.
We have no idea where Aidan got the battery. We checked all the toys and remotes in our house and in his babysitter's house, and none were missing. I guess we'll never know where he got it.
Surgery to remove the battery was done on the 19th. They removed it successfully and said everything would be OK. They didn't see any signs of irritation or anything.
Aidan came home that evening without any complications, but still had the congestion. They said that was from his viral respiratory infection.
Two days later, on Saturday night around 9:45 PM, I heard Aidan coughing in his crib. I ran up to find him sitting up in his crib completely covered in blood.
I'm a nurse, so I took him downstairs and swiped his mouth. It was full of blood clots. My baby boy was hemorrhaging.
Aidan had gone into cardiac arrest. I started CPR. He was then transported to the ER and airlifted to the local children's hospital. Nobody was ever able to revive him, despite several hours of advanced cardiac life support.
After four hours of trying, there was nothing more that could be done. My son was pronounced dead at 2:30 AM on Sunday, November 22nd.
We had an autopsy, because we had a feeling his death had to do with the battery. I was told after the autopsy that an erosion was found in his esophagus leading to the aorta. We are assuming this was from the battery ingestion.
I feel that if they could have found the battery sooner -- when we first brought him to the doctor -- this could have had a different outcome. A full week passed between our first and second X-rays. The button probably sat inside his esophagus for quite some time in order for it to erode like it did. You would have thought they would have seen something when they went in to remove the button battery from his stomach.
Now I am trying to get the word out to other mothers about the dangers of button batteries. I hope I can even spare one parent this pain. We had a perfect child one minute, and the next minute he was gone.
Keep button batteries out of reach of children. Treat them as if they are dangerous medications. Don't leave them lying around for any reason. You never know if your kids or if your kids' friends will get ahold of them. They're tiny disks, and they're shiny, so they're appealing to babies and toddlers. They come in singing greeting cards, watches and handheld games. A lot of toys for kids have them. You have to be so careful.
My message for medical professionals is to listen to the parents. I'm a mom who doesn't take her kids to the doctor for every little thing. But I was at the doctor six times in a week and a half because I knew something was wrong. I feel like they kind of brushed me off a bit. I'm not the kind of person who wants to blame, but I hope they can take this as a learning experience.
I really feel it is necessary to get my story out there to prevent any more tragedies like this. Hospitals, doctors and parents need to understand the life-threatening danger of these batteries.
Please forward this story to other moms you know. If we can help save another life, it's like Aidan will live on in some way.
This is too heartbreaking to even finish reading!! Im so sorry for your loss!!!
I'm so sorry, that's horrifying. I am keeping your family in my prayers.
i cried reading his. i can't imagine what she went through and i commend her for having the strength to get the word out. i read this same story a while back, though i can't remember there. the day i read it, my son (1 and half years old) got into the drawer that i kept our batteries in, even though it had a child lock on it (which we have since then figured out are pretty much all ineffective with our toddler. he had gotten a package of battery buttons out and opened them. i immediately took him to the hospital to get them to double check and x ray him.
when i got home, took ANY AND ALL substances-batteries, cleaning chemicals, extra shampoos, dishwashing liquids, bleaches…ANYTHING -took it and put it all up high in my laundry room and purchased a doorknob that locks. i keep the key to it around my wrist. my son is very smart and like s to climb and figure out locks. i know he's safe now, and i don't have to wonder if he swallowed anything harmful. yes, people think i'm paranoid and ridiculous and it's a little more of a hassle to unlock the door every single time i need something, but i know that my baby boy is safe from harm. i can rest easy at night. my heart goes out to this woman. and i thank her for her story, because if my child had ingested a battery that day, her empathy and courage to tell her story very well may have saved my child's life.
Hello! edgccee interesting edgccee site!
I dont understand how come the hospital dont have treatment for that battery to be remove or prevent so human can recovery from that. any hospital as doctor or suregeon need to act up quick with research department about this treatment to prevent it because it real dont make no sense at all.. how come they did act up for swine flu.. not the battery? wth? thx for the info..

Nothing Funny About The Wendell Baker Story
- Thursday, November 01, 2007
DVD Release Date: October 30, 2007
Theatrical Release Date: May 18, 2007 (limited)
Rating: PG-13 (for some crude and sexual humor and language)
Genre: Comedy
Run Time: 100 min.
Directors: Andrew Wilson and Luke Wilson
Actors: Luke Wilson, Eddie Griffin, Eva Mendes, Harry Dean Stanton and Owen Wilson
To hear Wendell Baker (Luke Wilson) tell it, he's just a "dreamer" and a "venture capitalist." To the rest of the world, however, he's a felon who sells fake IDs to illegal immigrants. He's also a braggart who mooches off his girlfriend (Eva Mendes), a former client. He takes the stunning beauty for granted and has never even said he loves her, but she stays true.
When Wendell finally gets arrested, the evidence is overwhelming, and he's forced to do a long stint in the slammer. Prison is little more than a summer camp for him, however—a place where Wendell can read Hilton Conrad, hang out with the guys and play football. Even visits from the girlfriend just get in the way of Wendell's many recreational pursuits. She finally wises up and dumps the guy, to his great surprise.
Upon release, Wendell decides to go into the "hotel" business, like Hilton and win the girlfriend back. He lands a job in a rundown retirement home, where he soon discovers that the head honcho, named Neil (Owen Wilson), is skimming money from all the residents. Neil periodically sends them off to his mother's farm and, in their absence, collects the Medicaid checks. Neil also insults and humiliates his geriatric patients. Not to be outdone, his partner in crime (Eddie Griffin) does the same, adding a little physical abuse for good measure.
Neil wants Wendell to join in all the fun—especially the Medicaid scheme—but Wendell's a changed man. Sort of. But as Neil says, "You're either for me or against me." Wendell isn't "for" Neil, so he now has Neil as an enemy.
Written by Luke Wilson and directed together with his brother, Andrew Wilson, this movie was shot four years ago and opened the SXSW ("South by Southwest") Film Festival in 2005. The fact that it was only released in theaters this year, however, pretty much says it all. The dialogue is stale and the plot isn't particularly engaging—or believable, for that matter. Since when is going to the pen—in Texas no less—a walk in the park? When did 65- and 70-year-olds start moving into nursing homes in droves? And the ending, I won't even go there.
With the exception of Harry Dean Stanton and Seymour Cassel, who play spunky patients, as well as brief cameos by Kris Kristofferson and Will Ferrell (who never misses a chance to appear in a Wilson film), the characters are overdone. All Owen Wilson needs to do is lick his lips and rub his hands a bit more and his goateed Nurse Ratchett would be a perfect Dr. Evil. Mendes barely moves her lips at all (not to be confused with her hips, which do move quite a bit). Griffin is mean, through and through—kind of like the film's jokes, which ask us to laugh at cruelty toward the elderly.
Even Luke Wilson, who's generally an affable actor, isn't particularly believable. In fact, I found his character very annoying. I didn't buy that Wendell suddenly started loving his girlfriend or that he had changed in prison. Frankly, he seems too stupid for either.
The humor is classic Wilson brothers, with lots of crass jokes and innuendos about sex and genitalia. The language is exactly what you'd expect from a PG-13 film. At least there aren't any religious jokes. However, don't be shocked when Stanton and Cassel hit on some very young girls—by telling them all the things they'll do to them in bed, in detail. And try not to fall off your chair when those same girls actually give the old men their phone numbers. Pure male fantasy, to be sure. But … ewwwww.

agree with the comment that it's not as creamy but it's still fantastic and so healthy. I made some changes based on what I had in the house and preferences. I used asparagus not green beans. Tasty. I used 1/2 chicken stock and 1/2 veg. stock instead of the mushroom broth and I'm glad I did. The dried mushrooms (used a blend, not just porcini) are really earthy and I don't think the added earthiness from the mushroom broth would be good. In fact, leftovers had more of an earthy flavor anyway. Also, I had a chunk of brie that was getting dried out so I crumbled this into the final dish....yum! Will save 'real' risotto for special occasions and feed this to the family for week night meals.

This was just okay for me. My first attempt at risotto. Very earthy flavor and filling! I think I am going to look at other recipes before coming back to this one.
TheMomChef Posted: 01/07/12
Maybe not quite as creamy as regular risotto, but I loved the chewiness of the rice, the creaminess of the mushrooms and the crunch of the green beans. Read my full review at: http://bit.ly/xeIkO8

Tasty, but not my favorite risotto recipe. Very earthy, which was nice. The brown rice added an interesting texture.
KellyDiff Posted: 01/08/12Philadelphia, PA
Totally delicious! With both the brown rice and the mushrooms, it was really "earthy" - but that was a good thing. As always, risotto took a million years to prep and cook, so its definitely not a weeknight meal, but worthy of a weekend winter night.
stephani22 Posted: 01/08/12
This is a great addition to my cookbook. It tastes delicious and is beautiful plated.
LDombeck Posted: 01/22/12
I thought this was really tasty. I disagree with another reviewer about not using the mushroom water. It added a lot to the dish. The only issue I had was I don't think I precooked the rice enough b/c I ended up adding 3 more cups of broth to get it tender. My fault though, I didn't notice the rice wasn't simmering until the 15 mins passed and I just carried on. Also, it was hard to find short-grain brown rice. I finally thought to look at whole foods who, of course, had it. Next time I probably will use Arborio rice and skip the precooking. But I thought the flavors were spot on and really earthy, I love mushrooms! Definitely time consuming, but all risottos are and I think are worth the time.
RedLab27 Posted: 03/04/12
This is by far one of the BEST risotto dishes I've had. I used gluten free Lundberg Short Grain Brown Rice and didn't have any problems with absorbing the liquid. This is a time intensive dish, but it's sooooo worth it, especially since it's so healthy too! My husband keeps begging me to make this again. Additional tips and photos for this recipe can be found on my cooking blog: http://redlab27.alissahebert.com/2012/03/mushroom-green-bean-risotto.html

Good taste, but lots of work (and prep dishes) for only OK results. Love the idea... Look forward to the next version.

Montauban is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Midi Pyrénées region in southern France. It is the capital of the department and lies 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Toulouse. The town, built mainly of a reddish brick, stands on the right bank of the Tarn River at its confluence with the Tescou.
Montauban is the second oldest of the bastides of southern France. Its foundation dates from 1144 when Alphonse Jourdain, count of Toulouse, granted it a liberal charter. The inhabitants were drawn chiefly from Montauriol, a village which had grown up around the neighbouring monastery of St Théodard.

I'm Going Down With You (Eulogy For The Dying)4 Reviews
"It's all fallen to hell." Feedback hugely appreciated.
I thought you were fine,
I thought it was better,
But right now I feel,
As if I've read your suicide letter.
Dried blood on your nose,
And a shake in your touch,
I know I was wrong,
You've loosened your clutch.
I thought you were good,
I thought it was going,
But it's worse than bad,
And I think that it's growing.
Death in your eyes,
And despair in your tone,
I know I was wrong,
And I'll soon be alone.
I thought you were cool,
I thought it was slain,
But it's all fallen to hell,
And I'm going me insane.
Strain in your breath,
And no hope in your soul,
I never even saw,
And now it's taking it's toll.
I thought you were living,
I thought it was dead,
But now you can't hide,
And it's vice versa instead.
No step to hold spring,
And no belief in yourself,
I'm losing you now,
Losing love's wealth.
I thought you would tell me,
I thought I would know,
But apparently I'm just a child,
And I should believe this damn show.
Tears on my cheeks,
And betrayal in my heart,
You're dying on me,
And it's tearing me apart.
A/N: So I wrote this a while ago, but thought I ought to put in a better category (it was in Panic! At The Disco because it's heavily inspire by their song, "Camisado") and tidy up a few lines. It kills me to read over this, largely because I know now what happened after I wrote it. This is about my mother and about some feelings I was harboring towards her/her cancer a few months back. Unfortunately, the cancer won out and I lost her in March this year. Which is why I dedicate this to her.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this and please let me know what you think. Thank you. :)

|Autonomic dysfunction
|Classification and external resources
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS, also postural tachycardia syndrome) is a condition of dysautonomia,[1] to be more specific orthostatic intolerance, in which a change from the supine position to an upright position causes an abnormally large increase in heart rate, called tachycardia. Several studies show a decrease in cerebral blood flow with systolic and diastolic cerebral blood flow (CBF) velocity decreased 44% and 60%, respectively.[2] People with POTS have problems maintaining homeostasis when changing position, e.g. moving from one chair to another or reaching above their heads. Many also experience symptoms when stationary or even while lying down.
Symptoms present in various degrees of severity depending on the individual. POTS can be severely debilitating. Some afflicted individuals are unable to attend school or work and for especially severe cases, they are completely incapacitated.
The hallmark symptom of POTS is an increase in heart rate from the supine to upright position of more than 30 beats per minute or to a heart rate greater than 120 beats per minute within 10 minutes of head up tilt.[3]
This tachycardic response is sometimes accompanied by a decrease in blood flow to the brain and a wide variety of symptoms associated with cerebral hypoperfusion. Decreased cerebral perfusion may promote the following:[4]
Chronic or acute hypoperfusion of tissues and organs in the upper parts of the body are thought to cause the following symptoms:
Autonomic dysfunction is thought to cause additional gastrointestinal symptoms:
Cerebral hypoperfusion, when present, can cause cognitive and emotive difficulties. Symptoms that persist in the supine (recumbent) state are difficult to attribute to "cerebral hypoperfusion":
Inappropriate levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine lead to anxiety-like symptoms:
Symptoms of POTS overlap considerably with those of generalized anxiety disorder, and a misdiagnosis of an anxiety disorder is not uncommon. Some patients may be able to show a marked, and speedy, reddening of hands on lowering to resting position to challenge this misdiagnosis.
The primary causal mechanisms in POTS remain unclear and are likely heterogeneous. Some people develop symptoms in their teenage years during a period of rapid growth and see gradual improvement into their mid-twenties. Others develop POTS after a viral or bacterial infection such as mononucleosis, pneumonia, or Lyme disease while others develop symptoms after experiencing some sort of trauma such as a car accident or injury.[9] Women can also develop POTS during or after pregnancy.
In one large test, 12.5% of 152 people with POTS reported a family history of orthostatic intolerance, suggesting that there is a genetic inheritance associated with POTS.[10]
While the primary causal mechanisms remain unclear, a number of theories have been offered based on preliminary research findings:
POTS can be difficult to diagnose. A routine physical examination and standard blood tests will not indicate POTS. A tilt table test is vital to diagnosing POTS, although all symptoms must be considered before a final diagnosis is made. Tests to rule out Addison's Disease, pheochromocytoma, electrolyte imbalance, Lyme Disease, Celiac Disease, and various food allergies are usually performed.[citation needed] A blood test may be performed to verify abnormally high levels of norepinephrine present in some POTS patients.
Between 75 and 80 percent of POTS patients are female and of the menstruating age. Some women also develop POTS symptoms during or after pregnancy.
Many POTS patients will see symptom improvement over the course of several years. Those who develop POTS in their early to mid teens during a period of rapid growth will most likely see complete symptom resolution in two to five years.[37] Patients with post-viral POTS will sometimes improve greatly or even see a full symptom resolution. Adults who develop POTS, especially women during or after pregnancy, usually see milder improvement and can be plagued with their condition for life.[citation needed] Rarely, a teenager who develops POTS will gradually worsen over time and have lifelong symptoms. Patients with secondary POTS as a consequence of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome will also usually struggle with symptoms for life. In some patients the only cure for POTS is time.[38]
Many adult patients report a relapsing/remitting course characterised by periods of partial remission and occasional 'flare-ups' or exacerbations.
Recovered individuals do complain of occasional, non-debilitating recurrence of symptoms associated with autonomic dysfunction including dizzy spells, lightheadedness, flushing, and transient syncope, as well as symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.[citation needed] These symptoms are consistent with B12 deficiency in absence of anemia, which should always be ruled out directly by checking B12, homocysteine and methylmalonic acid.[39]

Most patients will respond to some form of treatment. Lifestyle changes, in particular drinking extra water and avoiding trigger situations such as standing still or getting hot are necessary for all patients. Some patients also benefit from the addition of other treatments, such as certain medications.
Exercise is very important for maintaining muscle strength and avoiding deconditioning. Though many POTS patients report difficulty exercising, some form of exercise is essential to controlling symptoms and, eventually, improving the condition.[41] Exercises that improve leg and abdominal strength may aid in improving the muscle pump and, therefore, preventing pooling of blood in the abdomen and lower extremities.
Aerobic exercise performed for 20 minutes a day, three times a week, is sometimes recommended for patients who can tolerate it.[40] Certain modalities of exercise may be more tolerable initially, such as riding a recumbent bicycle or swimming. However, as tolerable, upright exercise may benefit the participant through orthostatic training. All exercise programs for POTS patients should begin with low-intensity exercises for a short duration and progress slowly.

Several classes of drugs often provide symptom control and relief for POTS patients. Treatments must be carefully tested due to medication sensitivity often associated with POTS patients, and each patient will respond to different therapies in different ways.[citation needed]
The first drug of choice for symptomatic relief of POTS is usually fludrocortisone, or Florinef, a mineralcorticoid used to increase sodium retention and thus increase blood volume and blood pressure. An increase in sodium and water intake must coincide with fludrocortisone therapy for effective treatment.[citation needed]
Dietary increases in sodium and sodium supplements are often used.[citation needed]
Beta blockers such as atenolol, metoprolol and propanolol are often prescribed to treat POTS. These medications slow down the rapid heart rate (tachycardia) that POTS patients experience. They make the heart more efficient by increasing the time spent in diastole, thus allowing more time for the left ventricle to fill with blood. However, beta blockers are a double-edged sword in POTS. This is because they also inhibit the release of renin from the Juxtaglomerular Apparatus in the kidneys. This decreases the amount of circulating aldosterone, which will decrease blood volume due to increased sodium excretion. That being said, beta blockers are first-line drugs for POTS and are often helpful due to their ability to mitigate some of the more distressing symptoms (e.g. reflex tachycardia). Unfortunately, they also decrease blood pressure (BP) by decreasing the heart rate and myocardial contractility. This decrease in BP can be offset by another common POTS medication, midodrine. Some beta blockers, such as acebutolol and pindolol, have intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA). This basically means that they are partial agonists. They will act like antagonists (regular beta blockers) in the presence of excessive endogenous norepinephrine but will actually activate beta receptors when sympathetic tone is low. These characteristics could be useful in some POTS patients (not the hyperadrenergic variety) because of the fact that they wouldn't cause as much of a decrease in heart rate or blood pressure at rest. But they would most definitely block the catecholamine surge that assaults these patients during orthostasis.[citation needed]
Midodrine (Proamatine), is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat orthostatic hypotension, which is one of the hallmark signs/symptoms of POTS. It is a non-CNS stimulant that causes vasoconstriction and thereby increases blood pressure and allows more blood to return to the upper parts of the body. Use of midodrine is often discontinued due to intolerable side-effects (i.e. goosebumps, itchy scalp), and it is known to cause supine hypertension (high blood pressure when lying down). Some doctors prefer to start patients on midodrine without the concomitant use of Beta blockers and then add Beta blockers once the dose of midodrine has been properly adjusted. This gives the midodrine time to start raising the patient's blood pressure which often helps avoid the hypotension that is a common side effect of Beta blockers. Obviously lowering the blood pressure of a POTS patient would exacerbate any existing orthostatic hypotension or worsen orthostatic intolerance. Additionally, midodrine's vasoconstrictive actions can trigger a reflex bradycardia, therefore it is best to see how an individual's heart is affected by the drug before giving a beta blocker which will further decrease the heart rate.[citation needed]
Antidepressants, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), and paroxetine (Paxil), can be extremely effective in re-regulating the autonomic nervous system and raising blood pressure. Some studies indicate that serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine (Cymbalta) are even more effective. Tricyclic antidepressants, tetracyclic antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors are also occasionally, but rarely, prescribed. A combination of two antidepressants, usually an SSRI or SNRI with bupropion (Wellbutrin) or mirtazapine (Remeron), is also shown to be very effective.[citation needed]
Medications used to treat attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) and Adderall effectively increase norepinehprine and dopamine levels, thereby increasing vasoconstriction and blood pressure.
Modafinil has recently been reported to also be effective - particularly for fatigue.[42][43]
In some cases, when increasing oral fluids and salt intake is not enough, intravenous saline is used to help increase blood volume, as many POTS patients suffer from hypovolemia.[16][44] Increasing blood volume can decrease POTS symptoms caused or worsened by low blood volume such as tachycardia, low blood pressure, fatigue, and syncope. Infusions can be taken on an as-needed basis in an Emergency Room, or on a regularly scheduled manner at an infusion center or at home with the assistance of a home-care nurse. Many patients report a profound though short-lived improvement in their symptoms from saline infusions.
In the UK, Ivabradine has been used to treat patients with POTS symptoms with good effect.[45][46] Ivabradine acts by reducing the heart rate in a mechanism different from that of beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, two commonly prescribed antianginal drugs. It is classified as a cardiotonic agent.
Trials are planned for other novel potential therapies for POTS.[48]
Patients whose POTS symptoms are due to B12 deficiency need pharmacological doses of B12 for repletion of tissues.[39]
Recently it has become a popular belief that medical marijuana may have positive effects on POTS patients. However, there is little evidence supporting its efficacy, and the active constituents of marijuana are often associated with postural hypotension.
There are anecdotal reports of benefit being derived from Horse Chestnut seed extract (Aescin), Rehmannia glutinosa, Licorice root, Eucommia ulmoides, Diosmin and Ruscus aculeatus (Butcher Broom)[49] however there is currently no research to support the efficacy of these herbal remedies that is specific to POTS.
Pressure garments can reduce symptoms associated with orthostatic intolerance by constricting blood pressures with external body pressure.
Compression devices, such as abdominal binders and compression stockings, help to reduce the amount of pooling blood. Compression stockings should be at least 30–40 mm Hg and will work best if they are waist-high.[50] Compression stockings should be fitted to achieve the greatest benefit. If the patient finds compression stockings of 30-40 mmHg to be too uncomfortable, consider a lesser compression such as 20-30 mmHg. Many patients see improvement with that level of compression, with full-length/waist-high stockings.
Compressions suits (G-Suits) have also been used with some good results.[51][52]
Some patients report that symptoms worsen with changes in barometric pressure (for instance, before a thunderstorm) and changes from outdoors to indoors (it is presumed that barometric pressure is higher inside) and depending on weight of clothes and coverage. These patients may find relief by moving to a new location where barometric pressure is relatively stable, e.g. San Diego.[53][54][55]
POTS was first named and identified by Schondorf and Low in 1993;[56] however, the syndrome has been described in medical studies dating back to at least 1940. Hypertension associated with POTS has been previously described as the "hyperadrenergic syndrome" by Streeten[citation needed] and as "idiopathic hypovolemia" by Fouad.[57] Hypotension associated with POTS has been previously described as the "neurally mediated hypotension" form of POTS.

The cold compress was still against his head, and he felt unbearably warm; his stomach gave an unpleasant lurch.Letting his eyes adjust, he looked over and saw Yoite sitting up in his chair, asleep, two cups of water on the bedside. Had he been watching him since he came in earlier? He leaned up, shifting over to touch the taller man's leg."Hey..." He tapped him lightly, seeing his eyes open a bit. "Are you alright?""You're awake?""Obviously," The shorter teased.

I reached out for the black cat, watching him play with Shiratama's tail. "She won't very much appreciate that.""Mreowl!" the white cat agreed.Yoite moved away from her, but only to get further away from me.I sighed, knowing he wasn't really going to listen to me right now. He was hyper, and would need to run out of energy. That was fine, so long as he didn't get hurt.Looking outside, I saw how nice the weather was. It was still cloudy from all the rain, but it was better than the beginning of the week. But I grabbed my coat, and Yoite quickly, and the camera that had been given to me when I heard Yukimi's car drive up."Miharu-" I lean

"Yoite?!""Miharu..." I smiled, reaching out to him again. I could... I could feel again! I wasn't as cold... was this what death was like? But... If I were dead... Why could Miharu see me?"Yoite, you're alive! We've been looking for you for so long...""...Don't cry Miharu...." I let the younger lean against him, a wide smile across his face, but with tears running down his face. "What's wrong?""...I was so worried... we all thought you were dead.....

Every paper he started on, he always started writing 宵 instead of そ right where his name was supposed to go. Every time.

Rules of Motherhood0 Reviews
Shayera sighed as she let the warm water cascade over her aching muscles, drenching her hair so that it hung in a heavy blanket down her back; this shower was definitely way past due. It had been a long, hard week, and she had been feeling so overwhelmed lately. She concentrated on the sounds of the water rushing down around her, the feel of the tile beneath her feet, imagining that her aches, troubles, and stress were all draining down with the water. It was so nice...
"Mommy!" A small voice called, and somewhat whined, from the other side of the shower curtain. Shayera sighed, so much for relaxing.
"Yes Emma honey, what is it?" She tried to ask as kindly as she could. She had left the bathroom door open. She always did, in case there was an emergency with the children but she almost regretted it now.
Emma heaved a sigh that almost matched her mother's.
"Rex keeps taking my stuffed bunny!" She replied in an annoyed tone. Shayera pasted her best 'mommy-smile' on her face and pulled the curtain back a bit to look at her daughter.
"Sweetheart, you know you have to share with your little brother. He's younger than you."
"I know Mommy but he won't leave me alone!" Emma accentuated each emphasized word with a stamp of her small foot. Shayera's smile was genuine and accompanied by a chuckle this time.
"Go find something else to play with and he'll leave you alone," She promised Emma. The little girl sighed again and disappeared out the door.
Shayera let the curtain fall back into place and shook her head, allowing herself a small laugh at the politics of her children. She squeezed shampoo into her open hand and began to lather her hair, already forgetting the small squabble as she inhaled the sweet, flowery aroma. Yes, this was most certainly what she needed today...
Suddenly an ear-piercing scream cut through the fog of contentment that had surrounded her and she snatched the curtain back quickly as a small boy with untidy black hair came skidding into the bathroom, howling and wiping tears from his face.
"Rex! What's wrong sweetheart?" Shayera said in a rush. Her eyes went over his appearance quickly; he didn't seem to be bleeding or have anything broken, although he had obviously been the source of the scream.
"Em-Emma hit me! She hit me in my nose Mommy!" He said through his sobs.
Shayera's eyes narrowed, shampoo dripped down her cheek. She continued to hold the shower curtain in front of her as she stood in the shower, deliberating over whether or not to run through the apartment to find Emma and discipline her for hitting her brother. In the end she decided to take the low road.
"Emma Stewart get in here now!" She shouted with a bit of a growl laced in.
Emma appeared less than a second later, looking quite smug as she held her stuffed rabbit under one arm.
"Did you punch your brother in the nose?" Shayera asked, trying to remain calm, but felt her temper beginning to slip.
Emma shook her head solemnly. Shayera sighed. Well, at least there was that. As ironic as it sounded, Shayera didn't like her children being violent with each other.
"No Mommy," Emma said sweetly, her emerald eyes wide and innocent as she looked up at her mother. "I didn't punch Rex in the nose."
"Good," Shayera said briskly, imagining that Rex had just overreacted to his sister taking the stuffed animal back and invented the story. Even though she hated to admit, Rex would have been a star pupil in a Thanagarian espionage class; he was a good little actor. Besides, Emma never lied, especially when she knew it would get her into further trouble and that lying to her mother would get her nowhere. She started to drop the shower curtain and lean back into the shower. She planned to tell Emma to give Rex a turn with the infernal rabbit and be a big girl but was interrupted.
"I kicked him in the nose," Emma finished simply. So Rex wasn't faking after all. His sister did hit him
Shayera froze. A wave of hysteria washed over her so suddenly that she was extremely grateful she had dropped the curtain back and her children couldn't see the absurd smile that spread across her face. She struggled to bite back the wicked laugh that threatened to break through and ruin all of her parental authority.
She took a deep breath.
"Emma," She said finally, peeking around the curtain and trying to look as stern as possible. "Tell your brother you're sorry. That was extremely wrong of you; you could have really hurt him. And just let him have a turn with that rabbit for a bit. Then Rex, you give it back to your sister. It belongs to her not you. You can't take her stuff whenever you want to; you have to ask Emma first."
Emma groaned and rolled her eyes but handed over the stuffed animal with a mumbled apology while looking in the opposite direction. Shayera nodded, satisfied, and Rex took the rabbit with a large grin.
"You missed anyway!" Rex said, sticking out his tongue and running from the room laughing. Yes he was good at acting. Even Shayera truthfully thought that he got hit by his sister.
Emma's small face darkened with fury and she ran after him, screaming bloody murder. Emma definitely inherited her temper; Shayera couldn't deny that.
The Thanagarian stood frozen in the shower for a moment, watching them go. Then she burst into hysterical laughter, turning back to rinse the shampoo out of her hair.
Her laughter was so loud and buoyant that Rex and Emma crept back to the bathroom door, stopping just outside it and peered in cautiously. The stuffed rabbit was long forgotten behind them in the hallway.
Emma looked at her younger brother. "What's she laughing at?"
Rex shrugged as he replied, "Mommy's gone nuts."
Shayera heard this and burst into new peals of laughter. That parenting book had been right.
Rule #48 of Motherhood: Everything happens when you're in the shower. She thought as she laughed, helpless with mirth, all her stress and cares suddenly forgotten.

Category Archives: Religious tolerance
The intolerance of 'tolerance'
In light of our discussion on religious tolerance and policy shifts limiting evangelism efforts on college campuses (Georgetown specifically) I am reminded of a point made by Don Carson, a man himself passionately committed to and engaged in campus evangelism. I transcribed this quote several years ago but since lost the text. So this morning I trekked back into the audio archives, located the quote and clicked out a transcript. It was a great honor to attend this message personally on October 6, 2002 at Omaha Bible Church. For simple folk like myself, I think the point is better stated here than anywhere in Carson's books.
"Twenty five years ago 'tolerance' was understood to be a virtue that operated something like this: If I hold strong views on any particular subject I am nevertheless judged to be 'tolerant' if I think that your views are bad, immoral, improper, even disgusting, wicked or stupid, but still insist you have the right to defend them. In other words, a 'tolerant' person puts up with somebody else's views and insists they have the right to hold them even while – in the vigorous arena of debate – we might disagree fundamentally on who is right or who is wrong. Such a person is a 'tolerant' person.
But nowadays, that is not what 'tolerance' means. Now 'tolerance' means that you don't hold that anybody is right or wrong. Everybody is equally right or wrong. Nobody is more right than another person. If you don't hold that then you are 'intolerant.' Now that is a huge shift … Under this new definition of 'tolerance' I don't even know what 'tolerance' means because in the old view of 'tolerance' you had to disagree with someone before you could actually tolerate them. How do you say 'Oh, yes, you are entirely right – I tolerate you?' … This new 'tolerance' actually becomes extremely intolerant of anybody who does not buy into this view of 'tolerance' because if you actually come right out and say that some view is wrong or silly or foolish or indefensible or even questionable, then you are judged to be 'intolerant.' Thus, in the name of this newfangled tolerance it turns out, at profoundly deep levels, to be the most intolerant thing of all!"
- D.A. Carson, Evangelism in the 21st Century (session 2), address delivered at Omaha Bible Church on Oct. 6, 2002. Carson will be back at OBC in 2008 (DV).
Evangelism @ Georgetown U
In order to curb proselytizing, Georgetown University recently instituted the following policy:
"While zeal for spreading the good news of the Gospel is a most worthy Christian virtue, there is increasing agreement among Christians today that proselytism, defined as any effort to influence people in ways that depersonalizes or deprives them of their inherent value as persons or the use of any coercive techniques or manipulative appeals which bypass a person's critical faculties or play on psychological weakness, is unworthy of Christian life. Physical coercion, moral constraint, or psychological pressure and inducements for conversion which exploit other people's needs, weaknesses, and lack of education are not to be practiced by representatives of affiliated ministries."
This statement is open to broad interpretation. Can you mention God's eternal judgment, or would this be considered "coercive" or "manipulative"? Will talk of personal sinfulness violate a person's "inherent value"? If arguments were based on Scripture as the revealed Word of God would this be to "bypass a person's critical faculties"? At its core the gospel is an answer to our greatest needs, our sin, our weaknesses, our ignorance and calls us to repent (say we are wrong) and turn from our current ways. I wonder what a public reading of Revelation 3:17 would get you? "For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked." Would this get you arrested or kicked off the Georgetown campus?
If I were pursuing a PhD, it would be a study in contemporary trends in so-called religious tolerance. Interesting shifts are taking place in our country. For example, in former days religious tolerance was about lovingly tolerating other people despite an intolerance towards their ideas. This tolerance leads to civil discussions and an opportunity for Christians to love their neighbor and also be repulsed by their neighbor's false understanding of the gospel. Tolerance is now taking a new form. Religious tolerance is no longer a tolerance of persons we disagree with, but rather a debate on what opinions will be tolerated publicly. This is a significant shift because religious tolerance is quickly becoming religious intolerance if we don't believe what the policy holders approve.
This post is no endorsement of bone-headed evangelism that has no humility, that puts down its audience, that yells all day at the wrath to come without mentioning the Son who bore this wrath so sinners can come to their loving eternal Father. What I am saying is that these groups cause reactions in policy that — when mixed with the new religious 'tolerance' of opinions — will impact the work of the humblest evangelist.
Related: "In a relatively free and open society, the best forms of tolerance are those that are open to and tolerant of people, even when there are strong disagreements with their ideas. This robust toleration for people, if not always for their ideas, engenders a measure of civility in public discourse while still fostering spirited debate over the relative merits of this or that idea. Today, however, tolerance in many Western societies increasingly focuses on ideas, not on people. The result of adopting this new brand of tolerance is less discussion of the merits of competing ideas — and less civility. There is less discussion because toleration of diverse ideas demands that we avoid criticizing the opinions of others… Exclusiveness is the one religious idea that cannot be tolerated. Correspondingly, proselytism is a dirty word. One cannot fail to observe a crushing irony: the gospel of relativistic tolerance is perhaps the most 'evangelistic' movement in Western culture at the moment, demanding assent and brooking no rivals."
- D.A. Carson in The Gagging of God: Christianity Confronts Pluralism (Zondervan: 1996) pp. 32, 33.

In today's NCAA, it rarely moves the needle when a basketball player transfers, simply because of the shear volume of player movement from season to season. However, when a team's best player (and returning leader in scoring) announces his plan to transfer after just one game of the regular season, that's news.
I will be transferring from SMU after first semester. I want to thank all the fans/people that supported me during my time here.
— Jalen Jones (@JalenJones_21) November 9, 2013
Jalen Jones, a 6-foot-7 swingman from Dallas, announced his intent to transfer from the SMU basketball program on Saturday, just one day after the Mustangs toppled TCU in the 2013-2014 season opener. The reasoning for the announcement (timing or otherwise) hasn't been made clear at this time, but whispers ranging from NBA aspirations to playing time concerns have circulated around the sudden move.
Last season, Jones averaged 14.0 points (on nearly 51% from the field) and 7.7 rebounds per game for Larry Brown and the Mustangs, but he didn't appear in the team's season opener on Friday evening. He is a rising junior this season, but since he did not take the court, I would presume that he would have 2 years of eligibility remaining at whatever he lands.
Stay tuned to this space for any update on his future whereabouts, but for now, there's a pretty good Division 1 basketball player "on the market" for a new team.
