Teen Boys' Health
Dealing With Embarrassing Body Changes
On the way to manhood, your body is going to do a lot of things that you really, really wish it wouldn't. Pimples will pop up everywhere, and so will hair. You'll drip sweat and you will stink. You'll get erections when you least expect – or want – them.
Sound bad? Sure. But remember these four things:
Recommended Related to Teen Boys
It may seem like everyone at school is doing it -- or talking about doing it. Add to it the increasing talk of sex on TV and in movies and you probably feel like the only person waiting to have sex. You are not alone. More than one half of high school teens have not had sex, according to recent surveys. In fact, many teens are choosing abstinence (not having sexual intercourse) until they are older and in long-term, committed relationships. Deciding to have sex is a very personal decision. It is...
Read the Teen Boys and Abstinence article > >
- Every boy goes through this (though not in exactly the same way or on the same schedule).
- It is normal (no matter how hard that is to believe).
- None of it will go on forever (even though it might seem to).
- There are plenty of things you can do to make the experience a bit easier.
Body Odor and Sweat
Believe it or not, some boys just starting puberty actually want to smell bad.
"They are upset that they don't have secretions that stink. It's a sign of manhood," says pediatrician Lawrence D'Angelo, MD, MPH, chief of adolescent and young adult medicine at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
They won't have to wait long. Those secretions – from glands in your armpits – start early on in puberty.
Once they do, even those once eager for B.O. will likely want to grab an antiperspirant and/or deodorant. (The first stops sweat, the second blocks the smell – they are often combined).
Just don't overdo it, says Cleveland Clinic dermatologist Jennifer Lucas. Using an antiperspirant too often can cause a rash. If it does, switch to a deodorant for a few days.
For the unfortunate few, no over-the-counter antiperspirant will stop the flow of sweat. If that describes you, don't worry. There are stronger antiperspirants that only your doctor can prescribe. And, there is Botox. Usually used for a condition called hyperhydrosis (in which a person sweats a lot more than normal), injections of Botox by a doctor can stop sweating for up to six months at a time.
The only way to avoid acne, Lucas says, is to fast forward past the teenage years. Since that is not going to happen, it's best to learn how to deal with it before it becomes a real problem.
Not all boys get that message. "When it's mild, they tend to ignore it," Lucas says. "But if it gets severe, it can cause scarring. And scars will be permanent."
Lucas recommends getting an over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide-based wash and using it once or twice a day. That will help keep your pores from getting clogged, which causes acne. Cleaning up after sweating is especially important, so wash yourself and any equipment you wear after game time.
Even if you are really careful, your acne might still go beyond mild and into severe territory. "It's not because they are not taking care of it," Lucas says. "It's just bad luck."
If that happens to you, don't panic. Make an appointment with a dermatologist. They have lots of options to help keep your pimples under control.

I'm just curious if you are diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome are you considered medically ineligible to enlist in the military or national guard?

DX'ed with HFA as a child. However this was in 1987 and I am certain had I been DX'ed a few years later I would have been DX'ed with AS instead.

AS itself doesn't disqualify you, but if you've got the depression, anxiety, OCD-type symptoms and have ever taken medication for it, then you're disqualified. Apparently you're more at risk for Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder then.

I'm on a brief professional training program with the Air Force, and was recently assigned to the COM squadron on base. There is no way at least %50 of those guys don't have at least mild AS. Their gait, how they talked, what they thought was funny, they seemed to have no clue whatsoever that the extremely complicated com parts they were describing were a) impossible to understand, and b) extremely boring...all dead giveaways.
To answer your question though, at least for the Air Force, I have gone over the AFI (our regulations) and there is nothing that prevents people with autistic-spectrum disorders from either enlisting or commissioning. There ARE, however, regulations against personality disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders, explicitly laid out. If you have taken any medication in the past year, you are prohibited. I was advised by one of my commanders (informally) that if you go off meds for a year, you are good to go (no need to admit on medical record unless you are looking to start out being excluded from enlisting). However, the military generally does not enforce this, although certain career fields would probably weed those people out. The Armed Forces Journal just did a piece on how many people with mood, anxiety, etc disorders were enlisting and the recruiter tells them not to mention it again if the recruit tells them they have X disorder, etc. 99% of the time they will not even bother looking into it. (Although following some sort of psychiatric meltdown, an evaluation and history will definitely be done). I'm going in as an officer anyway. This is the only thing I can imagine doing, and I've been finding other people who should 100% not be in (asthma, current and ongoing weed use, etc). If you want to do it, you cannot do enough research. Here's a good link about enlisting (although it doesn't cover AS specifically, just any question you can think of):

We could consider ourselves lucky if they didnt accept us. But my belief is that the military is about defending democracy and human rights in the same way that corporations are about making sure we are provided with the things we need for healthy and satisfying lives. HA! I say.

Thats why you dont let them put you in the infantry.
Sit on a boat or plane miles away from the action and push buttons to kill people. Works great.

hahahaha, man, its not like the time of my grandfather, i loved his stories of pounding thru italy, Monti Casino, and smashing thru the German boarder. Thats real war, personal, i could never fight a war from a computer, maby im old fasioned, but indeed, modern war is more like a video game, guess thats the way it is. If i was to enlist, I would speak nothing of my disorder, as i rairly have ever, no special treatment, i would want the same crap everyone else gets. I wanna get down in the dirt with the grunts, the smell of gun powder and the loud bangs of artillary.

Most of us don't mind helping the government. Maybe it's because the government always seems to need a lot of help.
That's why, when James Lovick, of Valpo, got a postcard from the U.S. Census Bureau saying he had been selected to participate in a very important survey, he was ready to do his civic duty.
"What the card said was for me to go online and complete a survey that would benefit communities in many ways in deciding about highways, schools, hospitals and helping attract large corporations looking for ready workforce availability, plus allowing planners to set all sorts of goals using up-to-date data," he said.
When he saw it would take about 40 minutes to fill out all the answers. his sense of patriotic duty dimmed and he decided to wait for the paper version sent to those who failed to do the online survey.
Reading the 28-page survey, he saw many of the questions were, to his mind, a little too nosy, starting with asking for his name. The survey arrived addressed to "resident of," and Lovick preferred his relationship with the Census Bureau remain on a "resident of" basis.
Lovick said he wasn't bothered by the questions about his housing, ethnicity, education, military service, marital status, employment and such, but his bother meter rose when it wanted information on his property taxes, mortgage payments, value of his home and his insurance on it.
"It asks all about my health insurance, any physical disabilities, mental conditions that affect decision making, how much income the past year, what I do for income, where I work, all sources of my income and even what time I leave home for work and how I get there.
"Some of these things are personal. I am not trying to hide anything, but I would not divulge many of these things to close friends, much less a government agency! It would just not be their business."
There's a big difference between your close friends and the government. Your close friends can't fine you $5,000 for refusing to answer the questions, as the government can. Within a week of getting the mailed survey, he got two more postcards reminding him to fill it out.
Instead, he contacted Rep. Peter Visclosky's and Sen. Joe Donnelly's offices. On Thursday, Visclosky got a letter from the bureau saying, under federal law, the bureau couldn't confirm Lovick received the survey.
It did provide an explanation of the survey and its purposes, but it had nothing that isn't available on the bureau's website or in the "frequently asked questions" pamphlet Lovick received except the history of increasing the fine from $100 to $5,000.
The one question not answered was on using his name. I'll have that answer in next week's column.

VIENNA (AP) -- Austrian police have reported arrests and vandalism after about 6,000 people gathered in Vienna to demonstrate against a ball that the protesters say serves as venue for Europe's extreme right.
While most of the demonstrators were peaceful Friday, police made about a dozen arrests. They also reported damage to storefronts and at least one police vehicle.
The protests are against a ball convened by Austria's right-wing Freedom Party that demonstration organizers say acts as a magnet for the far-right fringe. Freedom Party officials deny that, and say they are the target of left-wing extremists.
Police are being criticized for declaring parts of the demonstration area off-limits for journalists. Police officials say they only want to protect reporters from injury, but Austrian news organizations say the decision limits media freedoms.

text: I recently received a reminder to order another sensor for my watch. Fortunately…I don't need one! My hubby and I learned on July 4th that we are expecting. This was the first time I used the OV Watch, so I guess it works! Here's the irony of our story. We have been trying to get pregnant for three years. At the end of June, we went to a fertility specialist and were discussing plans for IVF. My hubby learned on July 2nd that his test results were in, and we were told that there really wasn't a chance that we would be able to conceive without medical help (this was the second doctor who told us this)! Guess we showed them:) We are thrilled with our success. I have passed my watch on to a friend who is also trying to conceive. Perhaps there will be another success story shortly… Sincerely, Ann K.

There has been a watermill on this site for centuries and is in fact mentioned in the Domesday Book, the existing Mill standing today is approximately 250 years old and is an over-shot mill which makes it very rare and only one of a few left in the country.
It was a working mill up until the 1930's after which it fell into disrepair and was put on the "buildings at risk" register. The Mill was then bought in 1995 and developed and became a restaurant and hotel and continued as this until 2000 when it was converted to the The Plant and Craft Centre and now the Olde Watermill Shopping Village which continues today.

Shawn Thornton from the Boston Bruins talked with Toucher Rich about this weekend's All-Star game, the win over the Florida Panthers and Marc Savard's concussion.
Does Thornton think that Savard will return this year or will he take off the rest of the season?
The guys also asked Thornton if he is afraid of concussions and if the league should get rid of the instigator rule.

You know those mini-heart and rhinestone-star nail stickers that 4-year-olds wear? I love them and wear them too! (Especially these crafty ones from Kate Broughton). I like to haphazardly put one or two in the corner of each nail, and then finish them with a super-shiny clear top coat. My fingers will stay like that for literally two weeks—even longer, if I retouch the topcoat once or twice a week.
I can say, first-hand, that there are techniques you can use to wear these tiny stickers so they look adult, fun, and totally chic. Read on for my tips on wearing the look with a grown-up spin.

Your boyfriend always swears you look great, even when you're battling a serious case of under eye circles and haven't washed your hair in three days. If you've ever wondered what he really thinks, check out this Cosmo slideshow. They performed an unscientific poll of 100 men to gather their opinions of the biggest turn-ons and turn-off when it comes to women's hair and makeup looks. While you should take their tips with a giant grain of salt, it's worth a read. Major takeaways: men prefer smoky eyes to bright colors, loathe heavy foundation, and frown on nail decals. But when all's said and done, we're not willing to stop playing around with funky jewel-toned liners or change our creative manicure plans any time soon.
Operations associate, Loren, has a thing for nails — and we can't blame her.

Last week while reading All Lacquered Up, I came across a post on a cool new technique that the nail geniuses at CND developed called River Rocks Decals.

Pro-rated at 500 at-bats a year that means that for two years out of the fourteen I played, I never even touched the ball.Norm Cash

Baseball, to me, is still the national pastime because it is a summer game. I feel that almost all Americans are summer people, that summer is what they think of when they think of their childhood. I think it stirs up an incredible emotion within peopleSteve Busby

Baseball is not necessarily an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like washing your hands 100 times a day, but it's beginning to seem that way. We're reaching the point where you can be a truly dedicated, state-of-the-art fan or you can have a life. Take your pickThomas Boswell
This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There's time to discuss everything between pitches or between inningsBill Veeck
Baseball fans love numbers. They love to swirl them around their mouths like Bordeaux winePat Conroy
Don't tell me about the world. Not today. It's springtime and they're knocking baseball around fields where the grass is damp and green in the morning and the kids are trying to hit the curve ballPete Hamill
More than any other American sport, baseball creates the magnetic, addictive illusion that it can almost be understood.Thomas Boswell
I don't love baseball. I don't love most of today's players. I don't love the owners. I do love, however, the baseball that is in the heads of baseball fans. I love the dreams of glory of 10-year-olds, the reminiscences of 70-year-olds. The greatest baseball arena is in our heads, what we bring to the games, to the telecasts, to reading newspaper reports.Stan Isaacs
Basketball, hockey and track meets are action heaped upon action, climax upon climax, until the onlooker's responses become deadened. Baseball is for the leisurely afternoons of summer and for the unchanging dreamsRoger Kahn
Like those special afternoons in summer when you go to Yankee Stadium at two o'clock in the afternoon for an eight o'clock game. It's so big, so empty and so silent that you can almost hear the sounds that aren't thereRay Miller
Baseball is very big with my people. It figures. It's the only way we can get to shake a bat at a white man without starting a riotDick Gregory
One of the chief duties of the fan is to engage in arguments with the man behind him. This department of the game has been allowed to run down fearfullyRobert Benchley
A game of great charm in the adoption of mathematical measurements to the timing of human movements, the exactitudes and adjustments of physical ability to hazardous chance.

|An Investigator-Sponsored,Double Blind,Placebo-controlled,Randomised,Multi-centre Study to Assess the Effects of Very Early Use of Rosuvastatin in Preventing Recurrence of Ischemic Stroke
|Brief Summary
It is anticipated that 548 subjects will be recruited from approximately 27 centres in South Korea.
This is an investigator-sponsored, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multi-centre study to assess the effects of rosuvastatin 20 mg compared to placebo in acute ischemic stroke patients, with the first dose within 18 hours after baseline MRI and continued treatment for 14 days.
Subjects will be male or female, over 20 years, with diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke with baseline MRI, and who are either statin-naïve or untreated with statin for the previous 3 months.
The objective would be to compare the recurrence rate of ischemic stroke by comparing the imaging parameters during 14 days of treatment and clinical improvement as defined by percent improvement based on NIHSS scores measurements at baseline, 5 days and 14 days of treatment.
|Detailed Description
Statins have action mechanisms that may work nicely in preventing recurrence during acute stage of infarction!
First, statins have antithrombotic effects and lower thrombogenicity. Statins prolong time to arterial thrombosis in endothelial injury model, inhibit P-selectin expression and platelet aggregation, reduce platelet PAR-1 thrombin receptor, and reduce tissue factor levels in plasma, its expression on monocyte surface, and atherosclerotic plaques. Second, statins enhance thrombolysis. They reduce PAI-1, increase t-PA activity and reduce fibrinogen level. Combined treatment of statins and t-PA in rats reduces the infarct size and downregulates expression of tissue factor, ICAM-1, vWF, and MMP-9. In addition, t-PA induced toxicity is reversed by statins.
Third, statins have anti-inflammatory actions that can stabilize and even regress plaques. Statins reduce the number of T-lymphocytes within plaques, inhibit migration and activation of monocyte/macrophage system, and reduce matrix metalloproteinase activity that play a critical role in plaque rupture. Rosuvastatin 40 mg could regress coronary atheroma burden at 2 years, and reduce progression of carotid intima-media thickness.
Benefits of statins in stroke patients are partially proven!
First, statins are well known to be effective in primary prevention of stroke. Second, statins were effective in secondary prevention of stroke. A high dose of statin (atorvastatin 80 mg) reduced recurrent stroke in patients with recent TIA or ischemic stroke when it was administrated 1-6 months after stroke onset. However, it is uncertain whether statins are effective during the first month after stroke. Third, outcomes are better in patients under statin treatment at the moment of stroke. Patients pretreated with statins showed better survival, less severe neurologic deficits, and improved outcomes when they were treated with thrombolysis.
However, it is unknown whether statin treatment in stroke patients is effective when it is administrated during the acute stage.
Based on strong supportive evidence in human and experimental animals which support theoretical superiority of rosuvastatin, this study will test a hypothesis that a high dose of rosuvastatin is effective in preventing recurrence during the first month after onset in ischemic stroke patients and should be given to all patients from their onset.

DALLAS (AP) - Law enforcement officials say a neighborhood watch volunteer suspected of raping four women in Dallas has been arrested in Louisiana.
U.S. Marshals spokesman Trent Touchstone said Tuesday that local and federal law officers arrested 38-year-old Van Draylan Dixson in Baton Rouge, La., more than 400 miles away from Dallas.
Police believe a single attacker sexually assaulted as many as nine women this summer in the city's Fair Park neighborhood, near downtown.
Police say the attacker forced victims at gunpoint into secluded areas and sexually assaulted them.
Investigators say DNA evidence has linked Dixson to four of those attacks, while test results from other attacks are pending.
Neighbors say Dixson was a crime-watch volunteer and would patrol the streets several times a week.

May 14, 2013Good expansion that gave us new transport, maps and weapons.
But paying for a DLC as much as for a stand alone game that had nothing else made many people unhappy. Great addition anyway!
While DICE probably should have included a few more maps, and some editing material so that modders could more easily build on what they've been provided (you can release that software developer's kit any time now, EA!), it's hard to argue with this expansion when everything included in it is so good.
The engineer's bayonet kill might be the most satisfying frag since "Half-Life"'s crowbar kills. [May 2003, p.92]

For most people, the term "bachelor pad" doesn't necessarily conjure up images of elegance and cleanliness. Personally, I tend to envision beer cans and pizza boxes stacked by a La-Z-Boy recliner, dirty socks strewn about the room and an odd and unappealing scent in the air. These bachelor pads, however, seem to bring an entirely different (and surpisingly pleasant) meaning to the phrase:
What do you guys think?
Thinking of making a move to Harlem? Take a look at this video to get an idea of the food and culture of this historical site. Even the famous Apollo theater makes an appearance!
Living in New York definitely has it's benefits. If you can afford it, go for a place with instant access to additional amenities. Think about never having to hail a cab to go to the gym….
Or having access to a relaxing rooftop garden? Perfect for entertaining…
And that view…
What do you think? Are the amenities worth it?
Ah, the dream of owning a home. It's a familiar concept to a great many of us, and especially in a happening city like New York. And while the idea of buying a beautiful, turn-key apartment in a trendy downtown area may seem like the perfect package, the price-tag of such an apartment tends to be not quite as dreamy. As a result, there has been a rising interest in purchasing a home in less than perfect condition with intent to renovate it on your own dime and on your own time. In some cases, this can work out pretty well if you are decently handy around the house. For the rest of us though, without 10+ years carpentry experience, we can find ourselves in hot water faster than we thought possible.
So when deciding on a fixer upper, here are a few things to keep in mind. If your potential apartment or house shows any of these characteristics, it may be time to look elsewhere.
1.) Does the house have lasting damage? Sure that little crack in the foundation may seem like a minor problem, but it could be enough to condemn your home in the future. Then again, that little crack may just be a crack in the paint, which is really nothing to worry about. A flat roof? Termites? Dust and mold? Even a rat infestation may take hours and hours (read: dollars and dollars) of man power to eradicate. It's well worth it to hire an inspector beforehand to make sure you know what you're getting into, and for the most of us, these are problems too big to solve ourselves.
2.) What condition are the elements of the house in? Namely, the cooling and heating elements. Along with your first inspection, but sure to have an HVAC professional come in to take a look at the condition of your furnace and pumps. What's even more important though, is that they check to make sure everything is connected and functioning! As sad as it is, telling the future homeowner the furnace is brand new often proves to be enough to ease their minds. Later though, this poor guy would come to learn that any pipes leaving the house aren't attached to anything, meaning any kind of hookups (usually a couple thousand dollars) are going to be coming out of his paycheck.
3.) How much time can you realistically spend doing these repairs? Make sure you think long and hard about these possibilities. Just because you work from home doesn't mean you have loads of free time to spend renovating your bathroom, and regardless of how much experience you have doing these things that doesn't mean you have the extra time to do it now. In addition, how long will you be able to live with this part of your home temporarily out of order? Is there a shower at your gym you can use while yours isn't functional? Is that gym 40 minutes away? This brings me to my next point:
4.) Are the cost of the renovations worth what you're saving in the original cost? Scoring a great deal is one thing, but scoring a great deal on a bare and broken shoebox is quite another. Draw out your budget beforehand so you know what your maximum price is for a turn-key home and what your maximum price is for a fixer upper (materials, workers, etc). Also keep in mind your intended quality of living. If you like things a bit more luxurious than the average homeowner, be sure to account for it in your budget.
5.) When can you move in? If the work means you won't be able to move in for a few weeks (maybe a few months) can you afford to pay for two places at once? If so, how long? Renovations often uncover other issues the homeowner was unaware of, meaning the time table tends to be longer than expected.

The sweat burned my eyes. Blinking hard I tried to focus. I needed to focus. Only a cold blooded creature could consider a castle full of lava as its home. My overalls felt like they weighed a ton. My movements were all in slow motion. Even my moustache was drenched through. As the heat pressed in from all sides I wanted to give up. From the glint in his red eyes I could tell that's what he was waiting for. If it was just me maybe it would have been O.K. to just curl up and die, but she was counting on me, her and the entire Mushroom Kingdom. If he had laid one hand upon her soft flaxen hair so help me I would
Damn. I had let my mind wander and he had seen it. A toothy grin spread across Bowser's face as he exhaled. The flaming expulsion from his bowels hurled towards me. He was gloating already that bastard. This was my chance. I summoned all the strength I had left and blindly leapt forward. With my eyes squeezed shut, I felt the intense heat of the fireball pass beneath my feet. I just might do it. I forced my eyes open. Seeing that look on Bowser's face invigorated me more than a thousand cold showers. He knew that death had finally come for him. I started to descend. My thick steel toed boots made contact with the vile lizard's skull. My full weight slammed his head into the stonework bridge. With a sickening crunch it was over. Bowser was dead. There was no time to celebrate or to consider how I was going to wash the reptile brains from my overalls, a crack had formed where we had landed and it was starting to splinter the walkway. I ran. The stones behind me fell away. I heard the sizzle from Bowser's corpse hitting the lava but I did not stop. I ran. I saw her face again. My princess. I jumped as the last piece of the bridge gave way.
My fingers clutched the shiny handle of an ax stuck into the ground at the edge of the precipice. My feet dangled over the remnants of the bridge sinking into the red hot lava. The sweat on my hands was already making my grip falter. I quickly pulled myself up. I pulled the ax out of its mount and carried it with me to the door that lay ahead. With one swing I splintered the lock and pushed the door open. I cool breeze escaped from the darkness with in the cell.
In the corner was a huddled mass. I approach delicately, becoming fully aware of my own stench and filth. I was just an plumber from Brooklyn. How could I even think she could love me? But no, the dirt that stained my clothes, that was from battling the tyrants that had enslaved her people. I reeked of a man fighting to free the woman heloved. She would understand. She always did. Just to touch that hair again. I reach forward. "Princess?" The figure gazed up at me with a thankful but saddened look. "Thank you Mario. But our princess is in another castle!"

Alternatives to Establishing Thresholds
Are threshold models appropriate for all antibiotic resistance?
David Smith & Judith Johnson
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Antibiotic Use & Antibiotic Resistance
Commensal vs. Zoonotic
Reasonable Expectation of No Harm
Drug-Centered Policy
What Type of Threshold?
Exposure Threshold
Small, acceptable doses
Larger, unacceptable doses
Toxic Chemical Exposure
Trigger Threshold
No consequence until critical point
Large, irreversible consequence after the critical point
Trigger on a Gun
Set-Point on a Thermostat
Heat is on below set point
Heat turned off above set point
Detection Threshold
Freezing Point
Futility Point
What Type of Threshold?
Proposed FDA Response
By default, antibiotic use is allowed
Monitor resistance until it exceeds the threshold
Withdraw antibiotic from the market
After resistance declines, permit use again.
Threshold is like a set point on a thermostat
How does antibiotic resistance behave?
Antibiotic Use and Antibiotic Resistance Is Resistance like Temperature?
Antibiotic Use and Antibiotic Resistance Is Resistance like Temperature?
Resistance spreads epidemically
Long time before high-level resistance appears
Drug has maximum utility during this period
After HL resistance appears, spread may be rapid
Depends on the mechanism of resistance
High-level resistance (mobile genetic element)
Quantitative resistance (point mutations, no lag)
Resistance Responds to Antibiotic Use
(not just Abuse)
Commensal vs. Zoonotic
acquired from direct exposure to animal products
ordinarily don't colonize humans
rarely spread from human to human
Human Commensal
commonly colonize humans without causing harm
infect and cause disease under appropriate conditions
frequently transmitted from human to human
host specific strains of commensal species may exist
rarely, humans are colonized by animal strains or acquire antibiotic resistance genes from animal strains.
Commensal vs. Zoonotic
RISK: Infection with a resistant zoonotic organism may be untreatable.
Human Commensal
RISK: Infection with a resistant commensal organism acquired from animals may be untreatable.
RISK: Human commensal organism may acquire resistance gene that spread among humans.
Bugs and Drugs How do we Measure Temperature?
Simple in one drug-one bug models.
Ecology of the Human/Animal Gut
300-500 species
up to 1011 organisms per gram
Most species are unnamed, difficult to culture
Each drug selects for resistance in multiple bugs.
Other drugs may affect resistance to a focal drug.
Any animal bug might potentially transfer high level resistance genes to human commensal bugs.
Is there a Reasonable Expectation of No Harm?
How does antibiotic use in animals threaten human medical use?
Does not drive resistance in humans
Expands animal reservoir of high-level resistance genes
Exposes human population to those resistance genes
Resistance in human commensal organisms becomes a problem many years earlier than it would had the drug never been used in animals.
Years of utility in humans may be wasted.
Zoonotic model is inappropriate for a human commensal organisms
FDA Campylobacter risk assessment is not appropriate for streptogramin resistance in E. faecium
The threshold (set point) concept may be appropriate for quantitative but not high-level resistance.
We should preserve new drugs for humans.
Once resistance is common in humans, some use in feed animals may be essentially harmless.
NOTE: Our policy (a trigger) is the OPPOSITE
of the FDA threshold (a set point).
Drug Centered Policy
Maximize the time that a drug is useful to humans
Human threshold (trigger)
Delay approval of antibiotic use in animals.
Use the drug only in humans until clinically significant resistance appears and exceeds the threshold.
After clinically significant resistance in humans exceeds the human threshold, set an animal threshold (set point)
Manage antibiotic resistance in zoonotic organisms using the current proposals.

Fast forward to today. DD15 is at her dads until tomorrow morning. I had to text text xpoopsmear today to let him know about a dental bill for DS17. He texted me back something benign and lets me know he will be bringing back DD15 tomorrow.
Then I get a picture text about an hour ago. The message says that he and DD15 have been making cookies and cupcakes and one of them is special for me and can I guess which one?
The picture is a pan with about a dozen cupcakes on it with various decorations and one is decorated with our anniversary month and date. (Like this: 5/15)What the fuck? What the actual fuck? What am I supposed to say to this?
What I have done is crickets. What I feel like to send is this "dear X💩smear, it's obvious that your wife has left you and now you are lonely and counting on me to be your soft place to land after nine years. Nine years. Nine freaking years?! Sorry dude... I do not live in unicorn skittle fart land. I have not remained single because I'm waiting on your sorry ass to come back. Go fuck yourself.

and. wait...
What an idiot!!!
Genuinely bughouse nuts!
However, that was cruel to do to DD. It is almost every child of divorces dream that Mom and Dad can get back together. What an asshole.

I'd pick a different cupcake and say "Ooooh, I hope it's the one with (pick one) on it! That one looks great!"
And be done with it and his idiotic games.
I have not remained single because I'm waiting on your sorry ass to come back. Go fuck yourself.
But crickets probably is best.
It is what it is.
My answering text would be.....Which one is for me????
I would also like to say to him, "dude, don't take a day that should have been special and turn it into a tool to manipulate me and my emotions so that you can score a booty call. You spoiled that day for me so don't you dare try to use it for your purposes now."
It's also creepy that he is even acting like this towards me when I have shown him how I feel about him lately. The way I dealt out the facts in court and used information I had to make him pay should have made him really want to avoid me. I'm beginning to think that only now does he respect me in his own fucked up way.
Unfortunately for me, my wedding day and divorce day are the same... But hoping yours are different! What a Dooosh.
[This message edited by PurpleRose at 6:01 PM, December 23rd (Monday)]
I think the best response is "which one is for me?" And maybe reference a different one. Because that date doesn''''t even REGISTER for you anymore. What a dooshbag. What is wrong with these people? Sheesh!!!
[This message edited by careerlady at 8:21 PM, December 23rd, 2013 (Monday)]
Could he be more ridiculous?
Really? He really did that? So here's what I am thinking, OW just left him and he has a huge judgment against him to pay you. So, if he "romances" you, then he not only gets a soft place to land, he doesn't have to pay you. Yeah, that's gonna happen
Irishlass, I think you might have nailed it. It certainly has probably crossed his mind.
Kill me now. Seriously. Yuck.
Text him a pic of a cookie with numbers of the amount he owes you on it. (A big cookie, obviously.)
Oh my God I so wish I had the nerve to actually do this.
In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.
Oh can you imagine?
5 cupcakes, lined up like this $ X X X X
(the X's represent the dollar amount he owes you).
OMG I would so do that!
Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.
The type of fierce loyalty that I possess made me incapable of comprehending the level of disloyalty that he possessed
5 cupcakes, lined up like this $ X X X X
(the X's represent the dollar amount he owes you).
OMG I would so do that!
If one cupcake is for the $ sign then I'd need 6!

pill or liquid laxatives?
Shyman asks:
Which work better -- pill laxatives or liquid laxatives?
Dear Shyman,
If I had my druthers to pick just one product to clean you out like nobody's business, hands down it would be Mag Citrate. Sold in a little green bottle, it is vaguely reminiscent of 7-Up gone wrong. You can get it over the counter.
I'm just not a fan of pills. I'm not REALLY a fan of any laxative. Metamucil taken 3-4 times a day works much better at preventing the problem in the first place, but no one ever listens to me.
Good luck!
Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.
-- Poonurse
Poonurse is an RN with 25 years experience in labor and delivery. Her qualifications include seeing a lot of poop, and owning a computer. Also, she works in Michigan, which she calls the asshole of the universe, so that's another bit of credibility.
Got a question for her?

"go lightly" works even better then mag citrate, but i think you need a prescription for it. i agree with poonurse on the metamucil, though - as an added bonus, metmaucil makes "fiber wafers" that are basically cookies but have the same effect as any other form of metamucil. they taste yummy. i eat them for breakfast every morning, then i take a nice easy crap about 40 minutes later. it's a great way to start the day.
That's easy. An Ex-Lax bar works better than either pills or liquid.

For research purposes only, say a disgruntled fast food worker wanted to uh, tamper with the drinks of drive thru customers as a method of revenge...what would be the best laxative product to use?
(I swear I'm using this information as a writer and not as a disgruntled fast food worker.)
Take one of those liquid capsules and empty it in the drink machine. No flavor. No mess... Well, maybe in the fast food customers pants.

I think that someone put a hard core laxative in a drink, and then had me drink it. I only took about one big mouthful, but man did I get sick. About 3hrs. after I drank it, I started feelng a bit of nausea, and 5hrs later I had the worst diarrhea ever, followed by vomiting. This lasted a total of 16hrs, and I still don't feel right. What type of laxative could do that?
Curiousgirl, it doesn't. That's an urban legend:
However, it has other much more horrible effects like putting the person in to a coma, causing seizures, halting their breathng entirely, and possibly killing them depending on the amount used. It is not something to mess around with.
Needless to say, don't try it unless you desire running the risk of killing someone,and that's quite a legal mess with the whole killing a person thing.
If I put a lit match in someones drink and they drink it, will it come out theior ass still on fire? Would they call it a burning shit??
The stupidity of some people makes me wonder why some people are allowed to breed. And they say snails are dumb animals..... HA
Poop Shooter!
Poop Shooter!
Dear Victim-- That sounds like food poisoning. It could have been caused by almost anything you ate within 24 hours (or more) before the vomiting and diarrhea began. Laxatives do not cause vomiting. You ate bad fish...or something.
Magnesium citrate solution just isn't working for me. I have to use the bathroom only like once per hour and its not really cleaning my system. I drank the whole bottle (10fluid ounces) and then drank a glass of water.. can anyone please help?
I need to flush my system this weekend and go for a checkup on Monday. The Magnesium Citrate was recc by the doctor...BUT ITS JUST NOT WORKING! *sigh*
i recently put visine in one of my friends water... the next day i told her about it and she never mentioned anything about getting sick and i saw her pour out the water in the afternoon and then i saw her about an hour and a half later and she was fine. the day after she had told a bunch of people that she had gotten really sick the night before... is that possible? or is she lying? if she really did ingest the water how long would it take to kick in?
Tarebear, the Visine thing is a myth and has been proven false. Be careful of this, though. If she is on any sort of medication there is a chance, however remote it may be, that the Visine may react with it and cause something along the lines of an allergic reaction. In the extremely rare case that this happens, you could be held responsible and even jailed for such things.
To try and make a "friend" sick is not funny, despite what reality TV has told you. If I was the friend in question, I would not remain one after such an act. That is disgusting!
I was a category five! Category five, I tell you! Get it right or I'll be back to PROVE IT!!!!- Katrina
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
I am seriously starting to think I have a blockage... I haven't eaten since Sat. and what I ate then I threw up, nothing is coming up or going down. I was recently on medication for a kidney infection... could this have anything to do with it? What can i do? I'm in serious pain and feeling sick all the time. I have a doc's appt Thurs...but I'm not sure I can make it that long. I'm going with mag citrate... but if that doesn't work... Lord I just can't stand the thought that I may have another blockage... I've had 3 in the past that required surgery. Can anyone reassure me it's just a lil medicinally caused backup and all will be well?
Just sign me scared and hopeful, but mostly scared
Actually from personal experience one of the best substances I found to cause diarrhea is "Xylitol". It's a sugar derived from corn, absolutely natural. In fact you buy it at your local health store as a healthy alternative to sugar. 3 to 6 tablespoons of this and it is truly Montezuma's revenge (I used it in lemonade, haven't tried it in baked goods). It takes about 40 minutes to start working all this time your stomach grumbles and gurgles audibly... and after, you cannot control your bowels for most of the day, I'm talking anywhere from 6 to 8 hours of nothing but painfully explosive watery diarrhea. The best part about this product is after you go to the bathroom a few times you get really thirsty (from dehydration I'm sure), so you end up drinking big glasses of water and the nightmare continues over and over.
victim that wasn't a laxative that whoever got you to drink it was most likely eye-drops...
A lot of my friends use them as pranks you only need to use a drop or two but a lot of people think the more you use the longer it'll be, but TOO MUCH CAN KILL SOMEONE. the eye-drops become toxic and that's when the body creates the way of "getting rid of them" you probably got the effect of more than two drops which caused you to get so sick.
I would go to the doctor pretty soon if you don't feel better soon.
Whatever weight you lose by pooping will be regained as soon as you eat. If you want to lose your baby fat you need only two things:
1. A healthy balanced diet low on carbs, fats and sugar, high on fruit and vegetables. This will also help you poop more.
2. Exercise.
That's it.
Anonymus mom....I lost my baby fat by eating a diet consisting of corn, chocolate cake, fried Mars bars, gallons and gallons of beer and an occasional chip buty. Now my body is covered with adult fat.

Any laxatives whether pills or liquid are not good for you. Unfortunately when they are used for extended periods of time, they destroy the ability for your body to dump without them. When you stop taking them, your body can no longer poo on its own.
Johnny B
Some people will never dump on their own. For those people laxatives are a good thing. Being chronically constipated is worse for your body over the long run. So if you need a laxative to poop every day then take it.

How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on!
I was constipated when I was younger because I didn't want to go, but now I really want to get all this out of my system since I realize you gotta poop everyday. Anyway I want to take laxatives but I'm scared I'll have to depend on them or they'll mess up my stomach lining please help!
constipatedgirl ... Why on earth would you "want" to take laxatives? Just eat right, drink plenty of water, and you will probably poop normally. Eat prunes instead of candy, drink water instead of soda, eat wholegrain bread instead of white, eat veggies and fruits that contain lots of fiber. You will soon be pooping like a pro. Laxatives should be the very last thing you try.
Dirty old men need love too!!
How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on!
ConstipGirl: Moving your bowels every day is good, but not everyone does it; some people poop only every 3 days, and for them it's normal, while for others 2 or 3 bm's a day is normal. What you need to do is drink plenty of water, eat good foods like veggies, eat a good amount of fiber, and let your system establish its own rhythm. It may take a few weeks; but if you persist in good habits, your bowels should reward you with normal, easy, pleasant movements.
To I'm 14: Why did you and your friend take laxatives in the first place? If your bowels are already working normally, you probably screwed them up. If you are constipated, you need water--lots of it--whether you take laxatives or not, but especially if you take them. So, yes, it could turn out badly; drink water!
A few weeks ago I had extreme pain (for almost 2 days) through my back, down my sides, and my tummy. My instincts told me it was "digestive", so I took stool softeners, laxatives, and water. Nothing for 4 days...and when I was able to use the bathroom there was stringy blood, kind of bloody mucus, attached to the hard ball shaped poop. It is not dark blood, and the paper is tinged lightly reddish-pink. This now happens every time I go poop. Is it ulcerative? I know it's not in my anal region, as it started higher up when my sides and back were screaming with pain. :( Thank you!
1st off: People NOT of the Darwin Gene Pool know that signs of blood, being blocked up 4 3 days or more & extreem pain GO TO THEIR DOCTORS. Not a web site! Dont let it get from bad to worse! Now, I am on the lemon juice diet, which requires a mineral salt water flush every morning.(Which is 3tspns and 32 OZ of lukewarm water. I cant do the salt, I really CANT. But I have2 'evacuate' anyways. Laxitiv T doesnt work soon enough for me to get on with my day. When I mean now, I mean explosively now. Anyone? And FYI, the toxic waste the SWF pushes out amounts to 15 Lbs average over a period of 3-10 days. This is not a weightloss program. That waist came from years of eating red meat and such, all within 22 feet of your intestines. So who here is a health nut and knows laxitives for health reasons and not prank reasons (GROW UP).

It seems a bit over the top for the president and Democrats to push for a 39 percent increase in the federal minimum wage. The head of Dixie Chili offered meaningful insights on this issue from the employer perspective.
Perhaps a reasonable compromise would be to spread the wage increase over time so the new employee has time to learn and demonstrate mastery of the job. The employer would also be able to get a fairer return on his investment in training the new employee. Give these employees a raise to halfway between the state's minimum wage and the inflation-adjusted $10 per hour rate after each new employee has worked 1,000 hours. After working a second 1,000 hours, pay is raised to the inflation-adjusted $10/hour rate. I would leave further pay increases up to the employer and employee.
Employers may want to have the 1,000 hours worked within a certain time period to ensure the employee is up to speed and competent in the position. A period of 18 months would be an average of 15 work hours per week to reach 1,000 hours. Students may work less than 15 hours/week during the school year, but they could work more than 15 hours/week during summer vacation to reach the 1,000-hour level.
Each state's minimum wage and the $10/hour rate should be adjusted annually for inflation.
