PISCATAWAY, NJ – The Rutgers women's lacrosse team dropped its fifth game by two goals or less this season, falling to Old Dominion, 9-8 , in its season finale on Tuesday at Yurcak Field. With the loss, the Scarlet Knights finish the season 7-8.
Rutgers held a 7-5 halftime advantage and surged out to an 8-5 lead early in the second half. However, the Scarlet Knights could not hold off ODU attacker Suzanne Wosczyna, who scored seven of ODU's nine goals, including the game-winner with 1:19 to play, lifting the Lady Monarchs to the victory.
Wosczyna, who entered Tuesday ranked sixth nationally in scoring, registered ODU's first goal of the game nearly eight minutes into the contest to put the Lady Monarchs up, 1-0.
Junior Lisa Savage (Cortlandt Manor, NY) scored two quick goals for RU in a span of 2:09 to put the Scarlet Knights on top, 2-1, with about 20 minutes remaining in the first period.
ODU struck back with three goals in a span of 1:37, including two by Wosczyna, to give the Lady Monarchs a 4-2 advantage.
The RU tandem of senior Maggie Bopp (Lindenhurst, NY) and freshman Katie Batiuk (Jackson, NJ) put Rutgers back on top, 7-4, scoring the Scarlet Knights' next five goals. Batiuk sparked the run with a free-position goal at the 12:32 mark of the half and Bopp followed with her 27th and 28th goals of the season off assists from Savage and senior Cristina Curiale (Summit, NJ). Batiuk capped the spurt with an unassisted tally before putting home a feed from junior Andrea Leininger (Bridgewater, NJ) for her team-best 32nd goal of the season.
ODU chipped into the Scarlet Knights' lead with seven seconds left in the opening half as Wosczyna added her fourth tally.
Freshman Jamie Farewell (Medford Lakes, NJ) extended the Rutgers lead back to three goals at 8-5 with a free-position score nearly three minutes into the second half.
Rutgers would not produce another goal after that, however. More than 10 minutes elapsed without a goal before Wosczyna converted a free-position shot, cutting the RU lead to 8-6. Wosczyna put an end to another 10-minute period of scoreless action with her sixth goal of the game with 5:48 remaining. ODU tied it up 1:36 later and Wosczyna put home the game-winner with 1:19 to play.
Junior Lyndsey Feldman (Ft. Myers, FL) registered six saves in goal for Rutgers, while her counterpart, Michelle Gannon, made four stops for ODU.
Batiuk led Rutgers with three goals on the afternoon, extending her goal-scoring streak to six games. She finished the season with at least one goal in 13 of Rutgers' 15 games and multiple scores in 11 contests.
RU previously dropped close decisions to Northwestern (14-13), Cornell (8-6), Yale (10-8) and New Hampshire (9-8).
The game signaled the end of the Scarlet Knight careers for RU's three seniors – Bopp, Curiale and Cali Wojdyla (Liverpool, NY). All three contributed immensely to the program during their tenure with the Scarlet Knights. Despite its 7-8 finish, Rutgers finished with a school-record three victories in BIG EAST competition for the second-consecutive season, including an upset of sixth-ranked Notre Dame. With a healthy core of the roster returning and brand new facilities at their disposal, the future looks bright for the Scarlet Knights.

So I'm taking a self portrait for every week of 2013.
There are multiple reasons (vanity duh) but also it will force me to pick up my real camera at least once a week and be more creative (note that I'm using that term pretty loosely).
Mostly though, due to years of struggling with a negative self image, I have nearly zero pictures of myself. My face maybe, but nothing from the chest down. I'm going to learn to be comfortable with myself this year even if I have to force it sometimes. I'm chubby. It's fine.
On a completely different note, anybody have any tripod tips, like which ones to buy/where to buy them. It's going to be a really long year, otherwise.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm gonna defend Madcow. Cow's second point is kinda right -- often, gankers gank because it brings out the opposing 70s and then the real fun starts. It's like the Alliance raiding the XRoads: just a way to start an impromptu battle.
MAdcow's first point is right too -- IF you keep in mind the difference between ganking and griefing. Ganking is just killing a player that is grey to you. Griefing is... well, we all know what it is. Griefers got a cog loose in their heads. They just ain't right. No one can reasonably defend griefers.
But the first time a random ?? came by, dismounted, blew me up, and then remount to ride away --- I grew eyes in the back of my head. And those eyes have won me a fair number of fights where otherwise I would have been jumped from behind. I learned to see the whole environment around me, to pick my spots for grinding and farming, keep in mind where my escape routes are. Getting ganked HAS made me a better, more attentive player.
Heck -- my new-found paranoia has helped me keep my Warrior shouts up, since Demoralizing Shout drops rogues and druids out of stealth. I start every fight with one, and more than once I've found a sneaky rogue (or two, once three!) because of it.

Making the Memorial
The memorial was designed before I decided to enter the competition. I didn't even consider that it might win. When I submitted the project, I had the greatest difficulty trying to describe it in just one page. It took longer, in fact, to write the statement that I felt was needed to accompany the required drawings than to design the memorial. The description was critical to understanding the design since the memorial worked more on an emotional level than a formal level.
Coincidentally, at the time, I was taking a course with Professor Vincent Scully, in which he focused, just happened to focus, on the same memorial I had been so moved by—the Lutyens memorial to the missing. Professor Scully described one's experience of that piece as a passage or journey through a yawning archway. As he described it, it resembled a gaping scream; after you passed through, you were left looking out on a simple graveyard with the crosses and tombstones of the French and the English. It was a journey to an awareness of immeasurable loss, with the names of the missing carved on every surface of this immense archway.
I started writing furiously in Scully's class. I think he has always been puzzled by my connection to the Lutyens memorial. Formally the two memorials could not be more different. But for me, the experiences of these two memorials describe a similar passage to an awareness about loss.
The competition required drawings, along with the option to include a written description. As the deadline for submission approached, I created a series of simple drawings. The only thing left was to complete the essay, which I instinctively knew was the only way to get anyone to understand the design, the form of which was deceptively simple. I kept reworking and reediting the final description. I actually never quite finished it. I ended up at the last minute writing freehand directly onto the presentation boards (you can see a few misprints on the actual page), and then I sent the project in, never expecting to hear about it again.
The drawings were in soft pastels, very mysterious, very painterly, and not at all typical of architectural drawings. One of the comments made by a juror was "He must really know what he is doing to dare to do something so naive" (italics mine). But ultimately, I think it was the written description that convinced the jurors to select my design.
On my last day of classes my roommate, Liz Perry, came to retrieve me from one of my classes, telling me a call from Washington had come in and that it was from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund; they needed to talk to me and would call back with a few questions about the design. When they called back, they merely said they needed to ask me a few questions and wanted to fly up to New Haven to talk to me. I was convinced that I was number 100 and they were only going to question me about drainage and other technical issues. It never occurred to me that I might have won the competition. It was still, in my mind, an exercise—as competitions customarily are for architecture students.
And even after three officers of the fund were seated in my college dorm room, explaining to me that it was the largest competition of its kind, with more than 1,400 entries, and Colonel Schaet, who was talking, without missing a beat calmly added that I had won (I think my roommate's face showed more emotion than mine did at the time), it still hadn't registered. I don't think it did for almost a year. Having studied the nature of competitions, especially in Washington (for instance, the FDR Memorial, still unbuilt in 1981, nearly forty years after it was first proposed, or the artwork Robert Venturi and Richard Serra collaborated on for L'Enfant Plaza, which was completely modified as it went through the required Washington design process of approvals), my attitude about unusual projects getting built in Washington was not optimistic. Partly it's my nature—I never get my hopes up—and partly I assumed the simplicity of the design, and its atypical form and color, would afford it a difficult time through the various governmental-approval agencies.
After the design had been chosen, it was subject to approval by various governmental agencies at both the conceptual and design development phases. I moved to Washington and stayed there throughout these phases. I expected the design to be debated within the design-approval agencies; I never expected the politics that constantly surrounded its development and fabrication.
I had gone to Cesar Pelli, then dean of Yale's School of Architecture, for the names of some firms that could handle the job. A firm by the name of Cooper-Lecky was the one he recommended, and I presented its name to the fund, unaware that the competition's adviser was the fund's choice as architect of record. I was told by the fund that this person was the architect of record, and that was that.
After a few weeks of tense and hostile negotiations (in which at one point I was warned that I would regret these actions, and that I would "come crawling back on my hands and knees"), I was finally able to convince the fund to go through a legitimate process of selecting a firm to become the architect of record. The then architecture critic for The Washington Post, Wolf Von Eckardt, was instrumental in pressing the fund to listen to me. But the struggle left a considerable amount of ill will and mistrust between the veterans and myself.
Through the remaining phases of the project I worked with the Cooper-Lecky architectural firm. We worked on the practical details of the design, from the addition of a safety curb to a sidewalk to the problems in inscribing the names. Many of the issues we dealt with were connected to the text and my decision to list the names chronologically. People felt it would be an inconvenience to have to search out a name in a book and then find its panel location and thought that an alphabetical listing would be more convenient—until a tally of how many Smiths had died made it clear that an alphabetical listing wouldn't be feasible. The MIA groups wanted their list of the missing separated out and listed alphabetically. I knew this would break the strength of the time line, interrupting the real-time experience of the piece, so I fought hard to maintain the chronological listing. I ended up convincing the groups that the time in which an individual was noted as missing was the emotionally compelling time for family members. A system of noting these names with a symbol that could be modified to signify if the veteran was later found alive or officially declared dead would appease the concerns of the MIA groups without breaking the time line. I knew the time line was key to the experience of the memorial: a returning veteran would be able to find his or her time of service when finding a friend's name.
The text of the memorial and the fact that I had left out everything except the names led to a fight about what else needed to be said about the war. The apex is the memorial's strongest point; I argued against the addition of text at that point for fear that a politically charged statement, one that would force a specific reading, would destroy the apolitical nature of the design. Throughout this time I was very careful not to discuss my political beliefs; I played it extremely naive about politics, instead turning the issue into a strictly aesthetic one. Text could be added, but whatever was said needed to fit in three lines—to match the height of the dates "1959" and "1975" that it would be adjacent to. The veterans approved this graphic parameter, and the statements became a simple prologue and epilogue.
The memorial is analogous to a book in many ways. Note that on the right-hand panels the pages are set ragged right and on the left they are set ragged left, creating a spine at the apex as in a book. Another issue was scale; the text type is the smallest that we had come across, less than half an inch, which is unheard of in monument type sizing. What it does is create a very intimate reading in a very public space, the difference in intimacy between reading a billboard and reading a book.
The only other issue was the polished black granite and how it should be detailed, over which I remember having a few arguments with the architects of record. The architects could not understand my choice of a reflective, highly polished black granite. One of them felt I was making a mistake and the polished surface would be "too feminine." Also puzzling to them was my choice of detailing the monument as a thin veneer with barely any thickness at its top edge. They wanted to make the monument's walls read as a massive, thick stone wall, which was not my intention at all. I always saw the wall as pure surface, an interface between light and dark, where I cut the earth and polished its open edge. The wall dematerializes as a form and allows the names to become the object, a pure and reflective surface that would allow visitors the chance to see themselves with the names. I do not think I thought of the color black as a color, more as the idea of a dark mirror into a shadowed mirrored image of the space, a space we cannot enter and from which the names separate us, an interface between the world of the living and the world of the dead.
One aspect that made the project unusual was its politicized building process. For instance, the granite could not come from Canada or Sweden. Though those countries had beautiful black granites, draft evaders went to both countries, so the veterans felt that we could not consider their granites as options. The actual building process went smoothly for the most part, and the memorial was built very close to my original intentions.
As far as all of the controversy is concerned, I really never wanted to go into it too much. The memorial's starkness, its being below grade, being black, and how much my age, gender, and race played a part in the controversy, we'll never quite know. I think it is actually a miracle that the piece ever got built. From the very beginning I often wondered, if it had not been an anonymous entry 1026 but rather an entry by Maya Lin, would I have been selected?
I remember at the very first press conference a reporter asking me if I did not find it ironic that the memorial was for the Vietnam War and that I was of Asian descent. I was righteous in my response that my race was completely irrelevant. It took me almost nine months to ask the VVMF, in charge of building the memorial, if my race was at all an issue. It had never occurred to me that it would be, and I think they had taken all the measures they could to shield me from such comments about a "gook" designing the memorial.
I remember reading the article that appeared in The Washington Post referring to "An Asian Memorial for an Asian War" and I knew we were in trouble. The controversy exploded in Washington after that article. Ironically, one side attacked the design for being "too Asian," while others saw its simplicity and understatement, not as an intention to create a more Eastern, meditative space, but as a minimalist statement which they interpreted as being nonreferential and disconnected from human experience.
This left the opinion in many that the piece emanated from a series of intellectualized aesthetic decisions, which automatically pitted artist against veterans. The fact that I was from an Ivy League college and had hair down to my knees further fueled this distrust of the design and suspicions of a hippie college liberal or aesthetic elitist forcing her art and commentary upon them.
Perhaps it was an empathetic response to the idea about war that had led me to cut open the earth—an initial violence that heals in time but leaves a memory, like a scar. But this imagery, which some detractors would later describe as "a black gash of shame and sorrow" in which the color black was called the "universal color of shame and dishonor," would prove incredibly difficult to defend. The mis-reading of the design as a negative political statement that in some way was meant to reflect upon the service of the veterans was in part fueled by a cultural prejudice against the color black as well as by the misreading or misinformation that led some veterans to imagine the design as a ditch or a hole. It took a prominent four-star general, Brigadier General George Price, who happened to be black, testifying before one of the countless subcommittee hearings and defending the color black, before the design could move forward.
But the distrust, the fact that no veterans had been on the jury, the unconventionality of the design and the designer, and a very radical requirement made by the Vietnam veterans to include all the names of those killed made it inevitable that the project would become controversial. I think ultimately that much of the negative response goes back to the very natural response to cover up or not acknowledge that which is painful or unpleasant. The very fact that the veterans themselves had required the listing and therefore the acknowledgment of the more than 57,000 casualties, which is a landmark in our country in terms of seeing a war through the individual lives lost, was very hard for many to face. I remember Ross Perot when he was trying to persuade the veterans that it was an inappropriate design, asking me if I truly didn't feel that the veterans would prefer a parade instead, something happy or uplifting, and I can remember thinking that a parade would not in the long term help them to overcome the enormous trauma of the politics of that war.
I do not think I fully realized until the dedication and homecoming parade that the veterans needed both. In effect the veterans gave themselves their own homecoming. In November 1982, I was in tears watching these men welcoming themselves home after almost ten years of not being acknowledged by their country for their service, their sacrifice.
But until the memorial was built I don't think they realized that the design was experiential and cathartic, and, most importantly, designed not for me, but for them. They didn't see that the chronology of the names allowed a returning veteran the ability to find his or her own time frame on the wall and created a psychological space for them that directly focused on human response and feeling. I remember one of the veterans asking me before the wall was built what I thought people's reaction to it would be. I realized then that these veterans were willing to defend a design they really didn't quite understand. I was too afraid to tell him what I was thinking, that I knew a returning veteran would cry.
An architect once told me to look always at what was originally envisioned and try to keep it. I left Washington before ground-breaking. I had to. The fund and I knew that we had to accept a compromise. The closer you watch something grow, the less able you are to notice changes in it. When I saw the site again, the granite panels were being put up and the place was frighteningly close to what I thought it should be. It terrified me. It was a strange feeling, to have had an idea that was solely yours be no longer a part of your mind but totally public, no longer yours.
There was always the expectation that since the war had been controversial, the memorial must be also. It wasn't so much an artistic dispute as a political one. The choice to make an apolitical memorial was in itself political to those who felt only a positive statement about the war would make up for the earlier antiwar days, a past swing to the left now to be balanced. It was extremely naive of me to think that I could produce a neutral statement that would not become politically controversial simply because it chose not to take sides.
Anyway, the push, as one congressman put it, to "politicize" the design didn't really affect the memorial in this way. The addition of the statue of infantrymen and then the addition of the female statue to make them equal are to me sad indicators that some politicians believe that you can please all of the people all of the time by compromise and conglomerate works. These statues leave only the false reading that the wall is for the dead and they are for the living, when the design I made was for the returning veterans and equally names all who served regardless of race, creed, or sex. I am only glad that the three infantrymen are not where they had been originally intended to be, right in the center of the memorial, heads sticking up higher than the walls, converting the walls to a backdrop and violating that private contemplative space. Ironically, the compromise memorializes the conflict in the building of the piece.
People cannot resolve that war, nor can they separate the issues, the politics, from it. As for me, the first time I visited the memorial after it was completed I found myself searching out the name of a friend's father and touching it. It was strange to realize that I was another visitor and I was reacting to it as I had designed it.

Playing with Darkness episode 2 Stranger Danger
it's been two days since i last saw Greg. i chickened out. i hope Claire's alright. i didn't want to think about Samantha or Luc. i could care less about where he is. i am thirsty as all hell. i need blood. i gulped down another caprison and shut the fridge.
"Mandy, the fridge is running again!" i called. i went to her bedroom. she was laying on the bed, her latest bloodbag smooching her neck and her collar.
"hey," i said.
"hey," he said, looking up. his green eyes had sparkle. maybe he would be too cute for her to kill. i thought he was.
"his blood is like xtacy," Mandy gushed. "Lucky, you gotta try him. come on," she begged.
"i'll pass," i said, turning down the tempting offer. i looked out the window of the apartment. looking down into the alley. homeless halfbloods curled up in blankets. because their human parent only bargained for a good time with a vampire and nothing more. but don't feel bad for none of them. we all get by just fine. every now and then a curious teenager will walk into these alleys wanting to meet a vampire, but end up getting killed by a group of greedy half bloods. most of us work in numbers. we can never be by ourselves. the lonely ones learn that the hard way. you can't hunt alone, you can't live alone. hunters can easily catch and kill you if you are by yourself. they want our species erased from the earth. they see no point to our existance. most of us just cause trouble anyway. half bloods like Luc don't help our cause at all. our groups can be as big as ten people. but not too big. any bigger than that will make our presence too noticeable. anybody can be a hunter. humans and full bloods alike can all hunt us. i've been attacked by human hunters before, but the human ones don't live long enough to book their kill. they don't even stay alive long enough to do their job. i've mercilessly killed every human who has layed a finger on me the wrong way, or pointed a gun at me, or tried to catch me with an electric net. they're all dead. the full blood vampire hunters are the ones to fear. since they're vampires, naturally they would be better hunters than the humans. our eyes are always open. they're faster than us, can hide just about anywhere, and can even creep into our living spaces undetected if they stand really still. you'd think we'd always be fearful, watching our backs every dripping moment. but we have to relax sometimes.
our group consists of six half bloods. that's a safe number. we have locked someone out for being a trouble maker, or for being too "loud" as Mandy puts it. i think Luc is the next to go. the door opened and Caterin walked through. she's part of our group. her eyes are red. she has wispy, curly blonde hair and is sickly skinny. a lot of people have died due to underestimating her frail frame. she's 17 years old and was orphaned at birth. been parading the streets ever since her foster family dropped her. they said she bites them too much. she walks in with a young man. her hand on the back of his neck. it puzzled me how he could let a five foot three inches tall girl man handle his 6 feet of lean body. i narrowed my eyes at her as she stuck her nose in the air, acting like she owned this guy.
"who the hell is this?" i asked.
"my dinner," Caterin chirped. she dugged her thumb into his neck. he held back from vocalizing how bad it hurt. i could see it on his face, though. she pushed him down and he fell on the table. i sat down on the sofa infront of him.
"what are you looking for?" i asked him, my voice husky and mysterious. i locked eyes with him.
"tell her! say what you said to me," Caterin yelled at him. then she laughed.
"a hot vampire chick to make love to," the guy said. i gave Caterin an irritated glance.
"your wish is my command," Caterin said, wrapping her hand around his neck and yanking him on the floor. she straddled him. he liked that. she opened her mouth wide and sank her teeth into the muscles of his neck. his blood pulsed out. he started screaming. she had him pinned. it was strange to see, considering he was so much bigger than her. he fought for his life. he struggled. he lost. another dead human layed on our floor.
"did ya have to kill him?" i asked her.
"i'm a feminist," she said, wiping the blood from her chin. "justice has been served." she rolled the guy over with her foot. then she dragged his body to the cutting room. to clean up her mess. i sat back on the sofa, stared at the trail of blood she left behind. the door opened, another half blood comes home.
"hey, baby doll," Jack says. he sits down next to me, running his lips up and down my neck. his left eye is missing from when he was attacked by a full blood hunter and survived. his right eye is ice blue. his hair is light brown, almost blonde, like hazelnut. he's a very good supplier. he's a nice guy, but there's always someone nicer. he's got a bottle in his hand. my stomach turns at the sight of it. if i drink any more juice or wine, i'm gonna throw up. he ignores the blood on the floor, is use to seeing entrails and things like that just laying around. Jack sticks his hand up my shirt and feels my breast. his hand is cold. i crawl on his lap and bend my head down to kiss him. he wraps his hands around my back and dips lower into the sofa. my fangs pierce his lips. i find myself sucking blood from his bottom lip. he turns his head until i let go.
"bite me here," he says, pointing to his chest. his finger landed on his nipple.
"no. that's just weird," i said. he throws his head back and looks at me, his pupil starring at me from the bottom eyelid. i cave. i put my face under his shirt and he wraps his hand around the back of my head. i moved my lips up his chest. the door opens again. i pull my head out of Jack's shirt.
"oh my god," i shrieked, getting off him. Gregory had come back, and he had little Claire with him. thankfully, she was blindfolded. but that also worried me. "what the hell happened?" i demanded.
"he killed her. he killed Samantha," Greg said. Mandy came out of her room upon hearing Greg's voice.
"where is he now?" Mandy asked, fixing her pants.
"he took off somewhere to cool down," he said.
"woah. wait. wait. wait,"Jack said. "who's kid is this?"
"Samantha's," Mandy said.
"why do you have a kid?" Jack asked Greg.
"she came home, said she forgot something. we weren't finished with Samantha. i was helping him clean up when she walked through the room. Luc was gonna hurt her really bad if i didn't do something," Greg said. "she's just a kid."
Claire was blindfolded by a pink and orange knee- high sock. probably her own. it wrapped around her ears and was knotted at the back of her head.
"so what are we suppose to do with her?" Jack said.
"i couldn't leave her there," was all Greg could say.
"if Luc comes back, don't let him in here. he can stay outside in the dark. let the hunters make a meal out of him. i have had enough of him and his b.s. anyway," Mandy said. "how are we gonna keep her quiet?" Mandy asked, loosing her cool. i studied Claire. she was a brave kid. she didn't make a sound or protest to leave. or maybe she was just too scared to speak. she still had her bookbag on her back.
"give her my room for now," i offered. "until we can figure out where to put her permanently." my room was very clean and kid- safe, unlike most of my housemates. Greg gently pushed Claire towards Mandy and Mandy took her to my room. i hugged Greg, glad he came back. then i sit back down. Mandy returns. we're all very uneasy about having Claire here. it's putting me on edge.
"what if someone comes looking for that damn kid?" Jack said. "you know the police don't treat our kind like the humans. we don't get jail time. we get death."
"don't freakin panic," Mandy said. "ugh!! Luc, you moron!!" she shouted to the ceiling. Caterin came in, pulling rubber gloves off of her hands.
"what's all the fuss?" she asked, oblivious.

Amnesia associated with electroconvulsive therapy: Progress in pharmacological prevention and treatment Pollina D.A.; Calev A. Dr. D.A. Pollina, Department of Neurology, HSC T12-020, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY 11794-8121 USA CNS Drugs (New Zealand), 1997, 7/5 (381-387)
Pharmacological treatments have been used in an attempt to improve the memory dysfunction induced by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Despite promising results from animal studies, human studies report few successes. Piracetam and physostigmine have been reported to directly improve memory test scores. The use of caffeine and liothyronine (triiodothyronine; T3) has been reported to reduce the number of ECT treatments required to produce a therapeutic effect, thus indirectly reducing memory deficits. However, the majority of studies on pharmacological treatments report no success. Some studies suggest that reducing the dosage of medications regularly administered with ECT may reduce memory deficits. However, reducing these medications may not be fruitful as they are necessary to prevent the medical risks associated with ECT. Moreover, at the dosages used during ECT, these medications have not been consistently shown to adversely affect cognition. At present, better controlled studies are required to assist in the search for effective pharmaceutical agents to reduce the cognitive deficits associated with ECT.
Piracetam and fipexide prevent PTZ-kindling-provoked amnesia in rats Genkova-Papazova M.G.; Lazarova-Bakarova M.B. M.G. Genkova-Papazova, Dept. of Experimental Pharmacology, Institute of Physiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Acad. G. Bonchev Str. bl. 23, 1113 Sofia Bulgaria European Neuropsychopharmacology (Netherlands), 1996, 6/4 (285-290)
Deficit in active and inhibitory avoidance behaviour has been found in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-kindled rats. This supports the view that memory deficit is an integral part of epilepsy. In the present study we examined the effect of the nootropic drugs piracetam and fipexide on memory deficit induced by PTZ-kindling in shuttle-box- and step-down-trained rats. The retention in piracetam- and fipexide-treated animals was significantly improved compared to the kindled controls. The mechanisms of action of the two drugs are considered. The favourable effects of nootropic drugs in cases of amnesia provoked by PTZ-kindling might be of interest in clinical practice.
p-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol attenuates learning deficits in the inhibitory avoidance task: Involvement of serotonergic and dopaminergic systems Wu C.-R.; Hsieh M.-T.; Liao J. Taiwan Chinese Journal of Physiology (Taiwan), 1996, 39/4 (265-273)
p-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA), an aglycone of gastrodin, is an active ingredient of Gastrodia elata B(LUME). In this study, we investigated the action of HBA on acquisition of an inhibitory avoidance response in rats and used piracetam as a positive control. The results indicated that scopolamine, a cholinergic receptor antagonist, injected before training impaired retention. HBA did not attenuate the scopolamine-induced impairment, but piracetam did. p-Chloroamphetamine, a serotonin releaser, injected before training impaired retention. HBA at 5 mg/kg and piracetam at 100 mg/kg could counteract the p-chloroamphetamine-induced deficit. Apomorphine, a dopaminergic receptor agonist, also impaired retention. HBA at 5 mg/kg and piracetam at 300 mg/kg could ameliorate the apomorphine-induced amnesia. The above results indicated that HBA, different from piracetam, can attenuate impairments induced by p-chloroamphetamine and apomorphine, but had no effect on impairment induced by scopolamine in an inhibitory avoidance task in rats. Such findings suggest that HBA may act through suppressing dopaminergic and serotonergic activities and thus improves learning.
Comparative review of the adverse effects of sedatives used in children undergoing outpatient procedures D'Agostino J.; Terndrup T.E. Department of Emergency Medicine, State University, New York Health Science Center, 750 E Adams Street, Syracuse, NY 13210 USA Drug Safety (New Zealand), 1996, 14/3 (146-157)
Children often fear medical procedures and interventions. Sedative agents enhance the care of these children who undergo outpatient procedures by decreasing anxiety, increasing cooperativity, and providing amnesia, although higher dosages and intravenous administration of sedatives often produce improved sedation, adverse effects and complications are more frequent. The goals of therapeutic efficacy and safety must be balanced in all patients. The presence or anticipation of anxiety and pain helps in deciding whether to use a sedative alone, or a regimen also providing analgesia. The patient's clinical cardiorespiratory or neurological status, other relative contraindications, the duration of the intended procedure, and the presence or absence of an intravenous line will help in choosing specific drugs. Drug complications are a common cause of adverse events in patients. The combination of a sedative and analgesic, especially a benzodiazepine and an opioid given intravenously, is associated with a higher risk of serious complications. The practitioner responsible for the administration of a sedative to a child must be competent in its use and have the ability to detect and manage complications. Patients who are deeply sedated should be continuously monitored and observed by an individual dedicated to this task. Vital signs and oxygen saturation should be documented at frequent intervals and the patient should be appropriately monitored until discharge criteria have been met. The risk of serious complications with these agents may be reduced with vigorous monitoring and a judicious choice of dosage.
Antagonism of piracetam with proline in relation to amnestic effects Ostrovskaia RU; Trofimov SS; Tsybina NM; Gudasheva TA; Skoldinov AP Biull Eksp Biol Med (USSR) Mar 1985, 99 (3) p311-4
Based on the authors' previous data showing that the lipophylic cethyl group promotes the penetration of amino acids through the blood-brain barrier, proline cethyl ester was synthesized and studied as a neuropharmacological tool. The substance administered to rats systemically (intraperitoneally) was shown to be able to provoke a deep amnesia when tested by the conditioned avoidance performance. Piracetam abolished the amnestic effect of proline cethyl ester while sodium hydroxybutyrate administered in the dosage range provoking the nootropic effect did not change that amnesia. The data suggest that proline may be considered as one of the possible endogenous amnestic factors. The close structural similarity of the piracetam cyclic fragment to proline, which resulted in their competition, appears to be one of the reasons for piracetam antiamnestic activity.
Effect of mental stimulants on electroconvulsive shock-induced retrograde amnesia Hoffmann W; Rostock A Pharmazie (Germany, East) Dec 1983, 38 (12) p869-71
The effect of nootropics on the retrograde amnesia induced by electroshock was studied on a model of the active conditioned escape reaction (pole jumping). In untreated animals the daily application of electroshock for three days, immediately after the training, led to a significant retardation of the development of a conditioned escape reaction. The administration of nootropics influences the development of the retrograde amnesia to different extents, the treatment regimen (application of the drug only during the training and supplementary pretreatment before the first day of training; respectively) being of importance. The antiamnestic effect of Piracetam (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) which is good also without pretreatment, may still be potentiated, especially on the fourth day of treatment, by an additional administration of the drug, beginning four days before the first day of treatment. In contrast to this, meclofenoxate hydrochloride (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) and pyritinol (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) produce a marked inhibition of the development of the retrograde amnesia only after pretreatment. Without pretreatment these drugs exert a slight or no effect. The marked antiamnestic effect of methylglucaminorotate (225 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) and by an additional pretreatment. As to dihydroergotoxin (1 mg/kg; intraperitoneally), both treatment regimens were ineffective in the model used.

Pre-clinical evaluation of cognition enhancing drugs. Schindler U Department of CNS Pharmacology, Cassella AG, Frankfurt, Federal Republic of Germany. Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry (England) 1989, 13 Suppl pS99-115
1. The need of the treatment of cognitive impairment due to aging or dementia has led to the search for potential cognition enhancing drugs. The various compounds presently under development represent an alternative tothe cholinomimetic therapy and include new chemical entities as well as piracetam and its newer analogs.
2. Recent results from pre-clinical evaluation of the effects on learning on memory are summarized. Emphasis is put on learning and memory experiments under normal and pathological conditions. Most of the nootropics attenuate experimental amnesias induced by scopolamine, cycloheximide, ECS, hemicholinium-3 or forebrain ischemia. These findings suggest that the nootropics may be influencing a common mechanism underlying the amnesias.
3. Biochemical data suggest a potential cholinergic neuronal activity of some of the piracetam analogs. They increase high-affinity choline uptake, and antagonize scopolamine and ECS-induced decreases in acetylcholine concentrations in the hippocampus. The mode of action of these and all other nootropic compounds, however, is still not known. 4. Despite the interesting results from learning and memory studies and from biochemical investigations, the clinical relevance of these results for amelioration of the cognitive impairment in humans remains to be proven for most of the compounds.

Nootropic drugs and brain cholinergic mechanisms. Pepeu G; Spignoli G Department of Preclinical and Clinical Pharmacology, University of Florence, Italy. Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry (England) 1989, 13 Suppl pS77-88
1. This review has two aims: first, to marshal and discuss evidences demonstrating an interaction between nootropic drugs and brain cholinergic mechanisms; second, to define the relationship between the effects on cholinergic mechanisms and the cognitive process.
2. Direct or indirect evidences indicating an activation of cholinergic mechanisms exist for pyrrolidinone derivatives including piracetam, oxiracetam, aniracetam, pyroglutamic acid, tenilsetam and pramiracetam and for miscellaneous chemical structures such as vinpocetine, naloxone, ebiratide and phosphatidylserine. All these drugs prevent or revert scopolamine-induced disruption of several learning and memory paradigms in animal and man.
3. Some of the pyrrolidinone derivatives also prevent amnesia associated with inhibition of acetylcholine synthesis brought about by hemicholinium. Oxiracetam prevents the decrease in brain acetylcholine and amnesia caused by electroconvulsive shock. Oxiracetam, aniracetam and pyroglutamic acid prevent brain acetylcholine decrease and amnesia induced by scopolamine. Comparable bell-shaped dose-effect relationships result for both actions. Phosphatidylserine restores acetylcholine synthesis and conditioned responses in aging rats.
4. The mechanisms through which the action on cholinergic systems might take place, including stimulation of the high affinity choline uptake, are discussed. The information available are not yet sufficient to define at which steps of the cognitive process the action on cholinergic system plays a role and which are the influences of the changes in cholinergic function on other neurochemical mechanisms of learning and memory.

Specificity of piracetam's anti-amnesic activity in three models of amnesia in the mouse. Lenegre A; Chermat R; Avril I; Steru L; Porsolt RD I.T.E.M.-Labo, Kremlin-Bicetre, France. Pharmacol Biochem Behav (United States) Mar 1988, 29 (3) p625-9
The effects of piracetam on the amnesias induced by scopolamine, diazepam and electroconvulsive shock (ECS) were studied in a passive avoidance procedure in the mouse and compared with the interactions of piracetam with the major behavioral effects of these treatments, namely scopolamine-induced hyperactivity, diazepam-induced release of punished behavior (Four Plates Test) and ECS-induced convulsions. Amnesia was induced by injecting scopolamine or diazepam (1 mg/kg, IP) 30 minutes before or applying ECS immediately after the first session (S1) of the passive avoidance task. Piracetam was studied at 3 doses (512, 1024 and 2048 mg/kg) administered PO 60 minutes before S1. Retention was measured 24 hours later (S2) in the absence of any treatment. Piracetam dose-dependently attenuated the memory deficits induced by the three amnesic treatments but did not affect either scopolamine-induced hyperactivity, diazepam-induced release of punished behavior or ECS-induced convulsions. These results point to the specificity of piracetam's anti-amnesic activity and, in particular, suggest that piracetam can suppress the memory disturbances induced by diazepam without affecting diazepam's anxiolytic activity. The test battery employed would therefore seem highly suitable for evaluating the potential nootropic activity of novel compounds.

The spectrum of the pharmacological activity of piracetam administered for a long time was studied in experiments on mice and rats. It was established that administration of piracetam (300-400 mg/kg i. p.) for 10-42 days brought about potentiation of its antiamnestic effect, retardation of the processes of extinction, an increase in the emotional responsiveness, and preservation of the tranquilizing effect with no side effects (sedative or myorelaxant). The characteristic feature of piracetam effect on the extinction is its ability to decelerate this process only after its prolonged administration. It is assumed that under prolonged administration of piracetam there takes place the formation of a new functional system ensuring the memory trace stabilization.

How To Keep Your Pool From Turning Green While You're Away
How To Lower Your Pool Chemical Levels
How To Break Chlorine Lock
How to Remove Swimming Pool Stains
Q:How do I add this to the pool?
A:You will need to add this through the skimmer directly from the container.
Q:How do I break chlorine lock?
A:One of the main reasons that chlorine can become "locked" is that too much stabilizer has accumulated over the course of time. Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) can build up over a long period of time, sometimes months or even years. Once the stabilizer reaches high levels, the chlorine in the water is useless. The only way to break the lock is to reduce the level of cyanuric acid in the pool. The quickest way to do this is to add fresh water to the pool. This will help dilute the acid levels in the pool so that the chlorine will become more effective. Pools should be partially drained and refilled (every 3 years or so).
Q:I just purchased a new pool. What chemicals do I need to keep it clean?
A:Congratulations on your pool purchase. To keep your pool nice and clean you will need a variety of chemicals. Feel free to browse through our Pool Chemical Guide. It provides quite a bit of information to help get you started.
Q:Can I pay for expedited shipping on my pool chemicals?
A:It is the policy of our shipping carrier, UPS, to not permit expedited shipping of possible hazardous or dangerous chemicals via air transit. This policy includes all pool chemicals making the only available delivery method for such items UPS Ground.
Q:Our chlorine levels are off the charts, how do we reduce our Chlorine Levels?
A:We whould suggest Jack's Magic After Shock Chlorine Reducer, this should do the trick.
