The news has been on the messageboards, but personally, I don't believe it until I see Brian post it on mgoblog. And so it has been posted.
The Rich Rodriguez era at West Virginia ended early Sunday afternoon, not with a bang, but with a whimper.
In an early afternoon meeting with his football team, Rodriguez announced he was leaving to become the head coach at Michigan.
I'm sorry to see the fun end. It was entertaining watching THEM fans fret over each denial. There were even reports of decommits.
But in the end, they end up not with a coach playing for yet another national championship, but a coach who failed to get his team there, and ultimately lost to Pitt. In fact, Rich Rod has lost twice in a row to South Florida. Long story short, he couldn't dominate a weak league like the Big Least. Only time will tell how he fares in the Big Ten.
Sooooo, if we can't send Jay to THEM, can we see if we can get him a job at WVU???

I see differing opinions about lower bleph for this. How visible are the scars? One doc recommended a lower bleph w/ an extended incision that runs length of lower lids & about a cm along a smile line in outer corner of eye. Also discussed with another, an arcus marginalis release, fat transposition and canthopexy with a separate skin muscle flap? I have also read about laser tx's. Some say a lower bleph could make problems worse? I've already tried fillers.
Malar Bags - Festoons. What Do You Recommend? (photo)
Doctor Answers 17
Malar bag, festoon treatment
Thank you for your question. As you may have guessed by the number of different opinions expressed here, this is a very difficult problem to treat. Direct excision may improve this problem but many times it only results in an improvement not a complete elimination of the problem. The down side to doing this is that it leaves you with a significant scar on your cheeks. Arcus marginalis release, fat transposition and canthopexy with a separate skin muscle flap is an excellent operation that will address the "upper" bags of the lower lids but NOT the problem of the malar bags. I also note that your lower eyelids have lateral bowing (the outside edge of the eyelid appears pulled down). This may be indicative of lower eyelid looseness which also should be addressed.
I have found that the best way to treat malar festoons is very wide undermining of the skin with a tightening of the lower eyelid, tightening of the muscle, re-draping of the skin and possibly cheek fat pad elevation (this would depend on your physical findings). Best of luck with this difficult problem.

Put me down as one in agreement with Drs. Meyer and Kabaker; direct excision is safest and surest way to good result. External laser combined with lateral canthopexy (to prevent ectropion or lower lid rounding) could be considered in experienced hands. Conservative approach is safest.

Cheek festoons ("water bags"): what's the solution?
Yes, those pesky collections of 'fluid' beneath the lower eyelids can come and go, but never really completely go away. Do salt, hormone levels, stress and aging make them worse? I agree with Dr Mayer and Kabaker that direct excision offers the most straightforward method of achieving a reduction and improvement in these pesky bags of annoyance. If surgical healing is routine, the small scars seem like a good tradeoff to the persistent puffiness!
As you can tell by the number of different options presented to you, that this is a difficult problem to address. The more techniques available for a problem, the harder it is to fix!!
The best way to remove them completely is to excise them directly which will leave a scar.
All other options [blepharoplasty, laser, etc] will likely improve to some degree, but not resolve completely.
Your case is mild-moderate, so a blepharoplasty with orbicularis suspension may suffice.
An experienced Oculoplastics or Facial Plastics patient may be your best bet.

Malar bags/festoons per photo
Interesting responses from non-plastic surgeons.
The key to such problems is identifying what the problem is, what procedure would correct it, and what the trade-offs are. Lower eyelid/malar bagging is a combination of fat pads, stretch and sag of overlying skin, and descent of the upper cheek/malar tissues. A standard lower lid blepharoplasty would address the fat pads but not the stretched and excess skin with an incision in the usual subcilliary location (or transconjunctival). Such a procedure does not address the sag of the upper cheek border and adequate support for the heavier cheek tissues. A direct excision of skin only can also have problems with tension on the lower eyelid border and doesn't lift the upper cheek without separate maneuvers plus the incisional scar is not a favorable tradeoff.
I would recommend accepting a less than complete correction of the skin (which could be improved by surface treatment separate from the eyelid/cheek lift) and do a standard lower lid blepharoplasty through a subciliary incision and include a release and lift of the upper cheek (part of a midface lift). This is anchored to the fascia lateral to the eyelid margin and much of the excess skin can be removed without tension on the lower lid. I call this an extended lower lid blepharoplasty. It would give you the most improvement for the least visible scar and risk.
Festoons (malar bags)
Festoons (aka malar bags) are a common annoying problem of the lower eyelid/cheek junction. They can be mild to severe. There are different types of festoons, namely fluid filled, fat filled, excess skin, or combination of the above. Treatment options vary for each but complete resolution of festoons are unlikely, especially if fluid component present, and you should expect improvement not complete resolution. In your case, the lower eyelid incision with skin-muscle flap is likely the best method to give the best result. See an oculoplastic specialist.
Web reference: http://www.TabanMD.com
Lots of options for FESTOONS: The standard direct festoonectomy and transconjuntival internal plication approaches will work. However, don't forget about internal & external laser applications and possible serial adrenocorticosteroid injections, etc.
Malar festoon surgery
There really only two ways to deal with these and first off, you'd probably want a few consults with Facial plastic or Oculplastic surgeon. How do you get ride or improve these?
1) Direct excision. The scar fades but it looks a lot better than what you had.
2) Trans-blepharoplasty malar festoon plication. You'll want to see an experienced Oculoplastic surgeon for this one.
The pexies and other things recommended won't do much for you. Some fat grafting would be helpful however.
Best of luck

All Product Details
One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface as Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either to the police or to her husband, Bazil, and thirteen-year-old son, Joe. In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
While his father, who is a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning.
Written with undeniable urgency, and illuminating the harsh realities of contemporary life in a community where Ojibwe and white live uneasily together, The Round House is a brilliant and entertaining novel, a masterpiece of literary fiction. Louise Erdrich embraces tragedy, the comic, a spirit world very much present in the lives of her all-too-human characters, and a tale of injustice that is, unfortunately, an authentic reflection of what happens in our own world today.
Ms. Erdrich is also the bestselling author of many critically acclaimed novels for adults, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Plague of Doves and National Book Award finalist The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse. She is also the author of the picture book Grandmother's Pigeon, illustrated by Jim LaMarche.

Lockdown leaves trail of questions in its wake
AMHERST ŌĆō TuesdayŌĆÖs school lockdown resulted in mixed emotions for students and parents.
Peter, a Grade-12 student at ARHS wasnŌĆÖt too worried about the situation.
ŌĆ£Somebody thought they saw somebody with a gun,ŌĆØ he said, preferring not to give his last name. ŌĆ£It was around 9:50 (a.m.) when they announced a lockdown of the school.ŌĆØ
Peter was in his first period biology class when the lockdown came into effect.
ŌĆ£We have drills every few months, so everybody was wondering if it was fake or real,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£After 40 minutes or so we started to realize it was real because fake ones usually last about 20 minutes.
ŌĆ£We had to stay in the class for the rest of the day. It was painful.ŌĆØ
It was made worse by the fact students werenŌĆÖt able to use the bathroom.
ŌĆ£If you had to go to the bathroom you had to hold it in,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£We were whining about it but after about 1 oŌĆÖclock or so we were allowed to use the washroom.ŌĆØ
Nourishment was another issue.
ŌĆ£If you had your lunch in the classroom then you could eat it, but we couldnŌĆÖt go to the cafeteria or anything like that,ŌĆØ he said.
Police also checked Peter and his male classmates for weapons at about 1 p.m.
ŌĆ£The police came in the classroom and announced what was happening and the guys were all metal detected.ŌĆØ
The fact that it was only male students who were frisked has a parent of a male ARHS student very upset.
ŌĆ£I was ticked when I got home and found out that it was only male students being checked,ŌĆØ said the woman who wished to remain anonymous. ŌĆ£What if there was an inside component to this and a female student was passed off something by a male?
ŌĆ£I was ticked that the police compromised the safety of my child today by only searching male students.ŌĆØ
She was out of town when she first got news of the lockdown.
ŌĆ£We rushed home because I wasnŌĆÖt sure what the situation actually was,ŌĆØ she said.
Her son texted her on her cell phone and told her he was safe.
ŌĆ£For me, once I found out the classroom was searched I felt at ease,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£But when I picked him up outside the school and learned only the male students were searched I thought, ŌĆśWell that offered no peace of mind, I was improperly informed.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Had I known only males were being checked, then nothing would be resolved because they chose to discriminate and, therefore, compromise the safety of the students.ŌĆØ

Electronic prescribing improves patient care
Hon Tony Ryall
Minister of Health
6 March 2014 Media Statement
Electronic prescribing improves patient care
Better links between GPs and pharmacists are making health services safer and more convenient for New Zealanders.
Health Minister Tony Ryall visited Totara Health Services in New Lynn today to see first-hand how medications can be prescribed and dispensed electronically.
"Electronic prescribing reduces the risk of mistakes that can be made in handwritten prescriptions, and makes it easier for GPs to see if patients have collected all or part of their scripts," says Mr Ryall.
"I was particularly pleased to be able to see electronic prescribing in action at an integrated family health centre, which is an excellent example of primary and secondary health providers working together to deliver better services closer to home."
Mr Ryall watched a
prescription being dispensed at Health New Lynn 7 Day
Pharmacy by pharmacist Peter Knox. Electronic prescribing
allows GPs to send prescriptions electronically to
Patients are given a barcoded paper prescription to take to their chosen pharmacy, and the pharmacist simply scans the barcode to access the information, Mr Knox says. Once the script is filled an electronic message can go back to the GP's computer to say the patient has picked up their medication.
Mr Knox says working from the same centre as GPs made it easier to share information, while electronic prescribing prevented errors and saved time.
"It's very convenient for people to have so many health services in one spot, and spending less time on processing prescriptions means we have more time to spend with patients," says Mr Knox.
Totara Health Services opened last year as an integrated family health centre, which offers patients a wide range of health services under one roof. Health services available at the centre include general practice, radiology, ophthalmology, physiotherapy, dentistry, cardiology and diabetes support.

Enforcer (ice hockey)
Enforcer is an unofficial role in ice hockey. The term is sometimes used synonymously with "fighter", "tough guy", or "goon". An enforcer's job is to deter and respond to dirty or violent play by the opposition. When such play occurs, the enforcer is expected to respond aggressively, by fighting or checking the offender. Enforcers are expected to react particularly harshly to violence against star players or goalies.
Enforcers are different from pests, players who seek to agitate opponents and distract them from the game, without necessarily fighting them. The pest's primary role is to draw penalties from opposing players, thus "getting them off their game", while not actually intending to fight the opposition player (although exceptions to this do occur). Pests and enforcers often play together on the same line, usually the fourth line.
National Hockey League[edit]
Presently in the NHL, teams generally do not carry more than one player whose primary role is enforcer. Enforcers can play either forward or defense, although they are most frequently used as wingers on the 4th forward checking line. Prized for their aggression, size, checking ability, and fists, enforcers are typically less gifted at skill areas of the game than their teammates. Enforcers are typically among the lowest scoring players on the team and receive a smaller share of ice time. They are also not highly paid compared to other players, and tend to move from team to team.[1]
Enforcers nevertheless are often popular on their teams. Players and coaches enjoy being with those who fight for their teams, not for themselves.[2] "The enforcer, sometimes mocked as a goon or euphemized as a tough guy, may be hockey's favorite archetype," wrote John Branch of The New York Times. "Enforcers are seen as working-class superheroes—understated types with an alter ego willing to do the sport's most dangerous work to protect others. And they are underdogs, men who otherwise might have no business in the game."[3] Fighting skills can help a less-talented or smaller player play in leagues that their hockey alone would not.[2]
Enforcers sometimes take boxing lessons to improve their fighting.[2] Some players combine aspects of the enforcer role with strong play in other areas of the game. Tiger Williams, Bob Probert, and Chris Simon are examples of enforcers who showed an occasional scoring flair, with Williams and Probert playing in the midseason All-Star Game. Terry O'Reilly once scored 90 points in a season, being the first player to finish in the top ten regular season scorers while amassing at least 200 penalty minutes, and later became captain of the Boston Bruins.
Sometimes enforcers can do their job by virtue of their reputation. Clark Gillies was among the best fighters in the NHL during his prime, but over time he rarely had to fight because opponents respected and feared him enough that they would not go after his teammates.[4] As well, some skilled players, such as legends Gordie Howe and current NHL all-star Jarome Iginla, are also capable fighters and can function effectively as their own enforcer. A "Gordie Howe hat trick" is a player scoring a goal, assisting on a goal, and being involved in a fight during one game.[5]
Changing role[edit]
In the 1970s, the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers were known respectively as the "Big Bad Bruins" and "Broad Street Bullies", for stocking up on grinders and enforcers.
The role of the enforcer has diminished since rule enforcement changed following the 2004–05 NHL lockout to increase game speed and scoring. With fighting decreased, teams are less inclined to keep a roster spot available for a one-dimensional fighter who is a liability as a scorer and defender.[6] This has led to a decrease in the number of players whose predominant role is enforcer. Instead, more well-rounded players are expected to contribute aspects of the enforcer role. Intimidation and fighting continue to be utilized as a strategy in the NHL. In the 2007-08 NHL Season fights occurred in 38.46% of the games, up from 33% the season before, which was just below the pre-lockout fighting level of 41.14% of games in the 2003–04 season.[7] The frequency has steadily declined over time, however, from 1.3 fights per game in the late 1980s to 0.5 in 2012. Major penalties for fighting declined by 25% annually in the first half of the 2011–2012 season.[8]
Summer 2011 enforcer deaths[edit]
Another possible reason for the decline in fighting and the use of the enforcer role is greater awareness of the risks from head trauma[8] and resulting chronic traumatic encephalopathy. During the summer of 2011, three NHL enforcers died. Derek Boogaard died at the age of 28 from an accidental mixture of painkillers and alcohol. Rick Rypien died at the age of 27 from what was later confirmed as a suicide. Wade Belak was found dead at the age of 35 in his Toronto hotel room in circumstances that caused a newspaper's police source to categorize his death as a suicide.[1]
Retired enforcer Georges Laraque has suggested the NHLPA provide counselling to enforcers, but sports journalist and writer Roy Macgregor opines that in light of recent tragic events there should be more done about it, including eliminating the role altogether.[9] New York Times sportswriter John Branch covered Boogaard's death and the epidemic of chronic traumatic encephalopathy that has come as a result of frequent head trauma sustained by hockey enforcers.[10]
In popular culture[edit]
- The late songwriter Warren Zevon promoted the role with a ballad of a fictional goon "Buddy" in his song "Hit Somebody (the Hockey Song)".
- Goon, a 2011 comedy film written by Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg and starring Seann William Scott, based on the career of Doug Smith.
- Gut Check, the sixteenth episode of the eighth season of House, Bobby "The Hatchet" Hatcher a fictional minor league enforcer is treated.
- The Last Gladiators, is a 2012 film chronicling the role of the enforcer in the golden years. Special focus is paid to Chris "Knuckles" Nilan - his role in the NHL, and the important negative effects the fighting and aggression had and have on his life after the NHL.
- Slap Shot (film) , a 1977 comedy film starring Paul Newman about a failing hockey team that acquires 3 brothers who excel as goons on the ice.

AMHERST - Dogs will continue to be able to run off leash in the early mornings and leashed at all other times as the Conservation Commission voted to extend the trial for another three months.
Commissioners set hours to limit the time dogs could be off-leash at two recreation areas in November as a trial.
They want to give it another three months before adopting any kind of permanent policy.
Animal Welfare officer Carol Hepburn who delivered her findings to the commission said, "I'm kind of happy they didn't vote (on a permanent policy.) They would have been hurried." She said this will now leave time to gather more information and for a more deliberation.
Many dog owners, as in the past, want to be able to let their dogs off leash all the time or for more hours instead of the dawn to 10 a.m. window now. Others, however, remain concerned about safety and dogs not being under voice control when they are off leash.
Hepburn said there were no dog bites during the trial and just minor issues that she knew about.
"Education is crucial," and she would like to see the sides work together. "I don't think either side is more entitled to use it," she said, referring to the Amethyst Brook area, one of two areas in town that allow dogs off leash in the morning. The other is Mill River. Dogs are required to be leashed at all other areas.
Commissioner Elizabeth Hamm made the motion to extend the trial. "We were not going to have a chance to really discuss it," she said because of meeting time constraints. Also she said commissioners realized they did not have a chance to see how the policy worked over the summer. "It's a hard issue," she said. "It's balancing between conflicting issues."
The commission wants to talk about whether it might make sense to change the hours when dogs could be off leash to late afternoon or keep them the same or add to them.
A follow up meeting has not been scheduled but will likely happen in the fall.

Xbox SmartGlass offers Xbox users a lot of convenience. While it cannot interact with games whatsoever, it makes using the Xbox dashboard and playing media a lot easier, especially if typing is required.
Microsoft's Xbox SmartGlass app turns a smartphone into an Xbox 360 controller, giving you the ability to play with your console's dashboard and input information by swiping and typing rather than tolerating the traditional thumbstick and button method. It is important to note, though, that it is not a controller replacement as it cannot interact with games, even when just inputting information.
The first time Xbox SmartGlass is opened, it will ask you to sign in so it can connect to your Xbox 360. This means that your console must be on and logged into your account. Once a connection is established, the Xbox 360 will confirm it with a pop-up on your television screen. The Xbox 360 and smartphone do not have to be on the same network, although both must be connected to the Internet in some way, be it Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 3G/LTE.
When the login is complete, the Xbox SmartGlass home screen appears on the smartphone screen, which looks like a less comprehensive version of the Xbox dashboard. From there, you can search the Xbox catalogue, track and compare achievements, look over your saved games library, and edit your profile and avatar.
To take control of the Xbox itself, you tap through to the dashboard option on SmartGlass. A mobile 'control pad' will appear at this point. The skin is black, and navigation is done by swiping any part of the screen to whichever direction. A 'B' button is located in the top right corner, 'X' in the bottom left, and 'Y' in the bottom right. Tapping the screen once triggers as the 'A' button.
Using this pad, you can use the smartphone to navigate the Xbox 360 and all its features, use the keyboard to type to the console, browse the Internet, and play/control media, such as DVDs, videos, and music.
As mentioned previously, Xbox SmartGlass does not give you the ability to play games with the smartphone as a controller replacement. Once a game is launched, the smartphone cannot interact with the Xbox — you can't even type in a game. For example, when creating a character in FIFA 13, you still have to use the Xbox controller. Who knows what the future may hold, but at this stage, Xbox SmartGlass is designed to provide convenience when interacting with the Xbox dashboard.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Vision: A Healthy Texas
The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) is urging residents of Zavala and Dimmit counties to take precautions to control the spread of shigellosis, a diarrheal illness.
"There has been a higher than usual number of cases of this illness at Lorenzo de Zavala and Thomas Rivera elementary schools," said Dr. Sandra Guerra-Cantu, DSHS regional medical director, San Antonio. Twenty cases have been confirmed since May 5, including four people who were hospitalized temporarily for dehydration.
"The best way to prevent the spread of shigellosis is by washing your hands thoroughly and often with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, especially after visits to the restroom, before preparing or serving food or drinks and after changing a diaper," Guerra-Cantu said. "Fruits and vegetables should be washed thoroughly, especially if they are to be eaten raw."
Shigellosis, which is caused by the Shigella bacteria, is passed person to person by a fecal-oral route. Infection can occur by hand-to-mouth contact with stools from a sick person, eating contaminated foods or drinking contaminated water.
The infection ranges in severity from a relatively mild illness with watery stools for a few days to severe symptoms including cramps, headache, high fever, profuse or bloody diarrhea and dehydration. Those infected usually recover in five to seven days, but some people may need to be hospitalized. Infected people may be contagious for up to four weeks after the diarrhea stops.
Those with shigellosis or other diarrheal illnesses should not attend school or child-care centers or work in food-handling establishments. If your child has diarrhea, take the child to the doctor as soon as possible. Request a test for Shigella. Follow your doctor's instructions. Keep your child home from school or child care until he or she has finished antibiotic treatment or until 48 hours after diarrhea has stopped. If the sick child is a student, notify the school nurse.
The incubation period, or time between exposure and the development of symptoms, for shigellosis ranges from one to seven days and is typically one to three days.

Police responded to a report of a male physically assaulting a female in front of the 7-Eleven convenience store at 507 Main Street. Responding police received updated information that a male was fighting with a female and a security guard. The first arriving officer saw a man, later identified as Joshua Oppong of 215 Mill St., assaulting a 19-year-old male, police said. The victim's friend was trying to pull Oppong off of the woman.
When the officer approached, Oppong let go of the woman and yelled at the officer that "he has issues," police said. The officer began walking Oppong away from the women, but Oppong broke from the officer's grasp and ran north on Main Street. As the officer ran after him, Oppong stopped, took a fighting stance, and told the officer he was going to kill him, police said. The officer described him as "extremely agitated."
The officer called for backup and tried to calm down Oppong, police said. Oppong charged at the officer with closed fists, then ran after the two females, pushing one to the ground and assaulting her again, police said. The officer stopped the assault.
Oppong began to fight the officer and grabbed the officer's expandable baton, hitting him and yelling "take it" after each blow, police said. Oppong attempted to hit the officer in the head with the baton, but the officer used his arms to block the blows.
Oppong then charged after the women again, who were being shielded by the security guard. Oppong hit the security guard in the back of the head with the baton, police said, causing a wound that required 15 stitches to close. The officer pulled out his gun and ordered Oppong to drop his weapon, joined by other backup officers. Oppong refused to drop the baton and was physically forced to the ground by four or five officers, police said.
Oppong kicked and punched the officers repeatedly while trying to retrieve the baton, police said. Several officers were injured in the struggle. The 19-year-old female victim also received treatment for her injuries.
The victim told police that she knew Oppong but not very well. She said the suspect began to harass her while she was in the convenience store with her friend. The security guard and the store clerk became concerned with Oppong's behavior and allowed her to retreat to the rear of the store. Oppong followed her against the wishes of the clerk and held her in the back of the store, refusing to allow her to leave, police said.
Oppong was charged with three counts of assault and battery on a police officer, two counts of assault and battery, kidnapping, assault with a dangerous weapon, 2 counts of armed assault with the intent to murder and resisting arrest, police said.

Who would buy a pain reliever that had been sitting on a drugstore shelf since 1972? Nobody. At least no one who knew that the item had been allowed to languish, gathering dust for so long.
No product, of course, would remain, untouched, on a pharmacy shelf for 42 years. But the rules behind the manufacture of over-the-counter medicines and personal care products have remained in place, gathering dust as it were, for exactly that long.
Yes, the Food and Drug Administration last updated its regulations regarding OTC meds back in 1972. New Englanders of a certain age will remember those days well, with a smile, even, recalling it as the year when Bobby Orr was leading the Boston Bruins to their second Stanley Cup in three years. It was, in other words, a very long time ago now.
Thankfully, the FDA is finally moving to bring those outmoded regulations out of the Dark Ages. The plan, currently under review, would streamline the approval process, would revamp the rules on warning labels, would allow manufacturers to more quickly update their products in light of newly discovered ingredients and their efficacy. And that's to name but a few changes.
As things stand now, things effectively stand still. Suppose there's a medicine that's long been on store shelves, readily available in a dosage that's high enough to present a potential problem for some adults. Should it be removed? Should it be required to have a warning label?
Whatever researchers believe, it hardly matters, because under the current system, nothing at all can be done.
It's 2014, not 1972. We've learned a lot in these four decades. Let's put it to use. Â
Editorial: Rules on over-the-counter medications mired in Dark Ages

LANSING – Good morning, Capital City. It's Wednesday, January 8, 2014 and this is the Lansing Rundown, your daily look at stories we're working on and a look back at Tuesday's news.
BWL announces plan for outage map, new crisis plan during public forum — During the first public forum in the wake of the controversy surrounding the Lansing Board of Water & Light's response to the Dec. 22 ice storm, the utility announced a plan to improve its communication with customers, including adding an outage map and the creation of a permanent crisis communications plan. The previous plan dates back to the late 1990s.
BWL Employee comments cause stir at meeting – Early on in Tuesday's meeting, things took a strange turn early on as a number of BWL employees took over public comments and praised embattled CEO J. Peter Lark. The non-BWL employees in the crowd accused the company of planting the people there, a charge which the company vehemently denied. BWL officials also said that they signed off on Lark's controversial vacation in New York during the outage's early days.
Gov. Snyder and Mayor Bernero celebrate snow removal "partnership" — Mayor Virg Bernero took time to praise his one-time gubernatorial rival, Gov. Rick Snyder, for sending in state road crews to assist local crews during this past weekend's major snowstorm. MDOT sent at least four plows to clear some of the city's main roads on Monday night.
A familiar scene: MSU hoops hands Ohio State their first loss – On Dec. 7, the MSU football team handed then No. 2 Ohio State their first loss in two years as they won the Big Ten Championship. Last night, with the Rose Bowl-winning Spartans in attendance – and leading a huge WWE-themed "Yes!" chant – the No. 5 MSU men's basketball team knocked off undefeated No. 3 OSU despite blowing a 17-point second half lead.
That's the way it is for this Wednesday morning. Be sure to check back with MLive Lansing throughout the day. Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

The Pinta and the Nina
Wednesday, December 08, 2010 3:14 PM
Recreations of the Columbus ships Pinta, left, and the Nina, right, sail past the Mobile Convention Center Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010 in downtown Mobile, Ala. They are on their way to dock at Dog River Marina, where they will stay until early Monday morning. The ships will open to the general public on Thursday, Dec. 9. The Nina was built by hand and without the use of power tools; it is considered to be the most historically correct Columbus replica ever built. The Pinta was recently built in Brazil and is a larger version of the archetypal caravel. Historians consider the caravel the space shuttle of the 15th century. While in port, the general public is invited to visit the ships for a walk-aboard, self-guided tour. Prices are $7 for adults, $6 for senior citizens and $5 for students. Children 4 and under are free. The ships are will be open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No reservations are necessary. (Press-Register, Mike Kittrell)

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.

Neural Control of Movement and Applications for Stroke Intervention
SPEAKER: Emilio Bizzi, MD, PhD: MIT
Cortical Stimulation to Promote Stroke Recovery
SPEAKER: Alvaro Pascual-Leone, MD, PhD:
The third segment of the CIMIT Summer Education Series 2007 produced thoughtful and penetrating presentations of the brain's response to a stroke.
Presenting were Emilio Bizzi, MD, PhD, Institute Professor, McGovern Institute of Brain Research, at MIT; and Alvaro Pascual-Leone, MD, PhD, professor of neurology, Harvard Medical School; director of the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation; and attending neurologist and director of research, Behavioral Neurology Unit, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
The session was part of the summer series titled, "Neurotechnology: Translating Basic Discoveries into Clinical Promise."
Close to 1 million Americans suffer strokes each year, and it is the leading cause of disability in the developing world.
Dr. Pascual-Leone spoke on the topic of "Cortical Stimulation to Promote Recovery after Stroke." He said that both noninvasive and invasive brain stimulation techniques have been recently tested in proof-of-principle studies with stroke patients aimed at enhancing functional recovering.
He cited techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial director current stimulation and direct cortical stimulation with epidural electrodes.
Dr. Pascual-Leone said that ongoing clinical trials confirm promising results. He showed tape of a stroke patient before and after stimulation of specific parts of the brain, and the patient showed improved mobility in the hand and arm following stimulation.
Dr. Bizzi spoke on the topic of "Neural Control of Movement and Applications for Stroke Intervention."
He said neuronal recordings from awake monkeys have revealed plasticity at the single-cell level, and some of the neurons of the cortical motor areas exhibit learning-dependent activity changes.
Whether the adapted cells represent simple command signals or the formation of internal models designed to handle a new dynamic environment is still open to question, he said, but studies continue.
When one thinks of learning, one rarely thinks of simple motor tasks such as picking up an object or taking a step. The brain seems to learn these actions effortlessly. Unfortunately, a stroke can undermine even the most basic movements and can make it impossible for a person to lead an independent life. Hoping to help stroke patients, researchers are attempting to deconstruct the neurological processes that underlie motor function.
To understand how motor learning is accomplished at a cellular level, the lab of Dr. Emilio Bizzi has studied cells in the motor cortices of monkeys. In one experiment, as monkeys reached for objects, members of the lab measured the activity of individual cortical neurons. The experimenters manipulated the task by applying perpendicular forces to the monkeys' arms, and over time, the monkeys began to compensate for these forces. Single-cell recordings showed that certain cells in the monkeys' cortices responded to the perpendicular forces by gaining directional sensitivity that they had previously lacked or by losing directional sensitivity that they had once possessed. These "memory cells" retained their new directional sensitivities (or lack thereof) even when the perpendicular forces were no longer applied, suggesting that motor learning occurs, at least to some extent, in the cortex.
On the musculoskeletal level, the Bizzi lab attempted to determine how the activity of thousands of motor neurons is coordinated, a process that takes place every time one does so much as move a hand. They hypothesized that motor units, each composed of a single motor neuron and its associated muscle cells, are organized in a hierarchical and modular fashion. Measuring muscle stimulation in frogs' legs and using an extraction algorithm to identify correlated activity, they found that "muscle synergies" – groups of motor units whose activity is correlated – do indeed exist.
These results suggest that strokes should be considered by analyzing how they affect synergies in the cortex. Perhaps brain lesions caused by strokes eliminate synergies or alter the balance of muscles within them. Hopefully, learning about the brain's modularity will further the rehabilitation of stroke patients.
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in developed societies. A stroke's severity depends on its size and on the ability of the brain to relearn various functions with restricted resources. Because of the human brain's plasticity, some stroke survivors don't even realize that they have had a stroke. In many cases, however, the brain's ability to compensate for stroke damage is limited. Seeking to promote this process of compensation, researchers are attempting to use electromagnetic brain stimulation to help stroke victims recover lost motor abilities.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers can localize areas of the brain involved in the execution of a given task. In stroke patients, one hemisphere of the brain is damaged, and tasks governed by this side of the brain can be impaired. When a stroke patient attempts to perform a task governed the damaged portion of the brain, fMRI usually shows activity in both hemispheres of the brain. The activity in the healthy hemisphere does not control the motor circuitry involved in the task; in fact, the activity in the healthy hemisphere seems to prevent the damaged hemisphere from functioning effectively. A team of researchers led by Dr. Pascual-Leone is working on a variety of techniques to reduce this "excessive interhemispheric interference," hoping that these techniques will promote the rehabilitation of stroke patients.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) provides one means of controlling interhemispheric interference. When a patient undergoes TMS, an electromagnet is positioned on the surface of his or her scalp. Depending on the frequency of the current applied to the magnet, activity in the nearby region of the brain can be increased or decreased. By using TMS to decrease activity in areas of the stroke patient's healthy hemisphere, doctors have been able to enhance the ability of stroke patients to perform tasks such as picking up a telephone.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) also allows doctors to suppress inhibitory activity in the healthy hemisphere of the brain. The technique involves running current between two electrodes placed on the scalp. It has not proven extremely effective for stroke patients because fluid and scar tissue leftover after a stroke can shunt current away from the target location.
Dr. Pascual-Leone's team has conducted a proof-of-principle study that has shown that ten days of TMS can help stroke patients perform previously difficult tasks and that these improvements can last for at least eight months after the therapy has ended. In the future, engineers may be able to design epidural or subdural TMS devices that patients could wear continuously. TMS could also be combined with therapies involving motor training.

Release today, These are cheap shares, we will be at $39 soon
$39 will fall very quickly, but will still be volatile. Next patient count will surprise a lot of people and be much higher than expected.
$39 target was reached quickly, as I predicted. Cross $40 then $50. $60 will fall this year too.
Not until it fills the gap.

You claim I was never there for you
When you never even gave yourself a chance.
You failed thanks to insecurities
And placed the blame on me.
Don't stack your problems on my back.
I never said I was perfect
Now here we go down that same road once again.
Wish I was something that I can't live up
To when I end right where I began (with no friends).
You expect me to offer an apology
But I can't find the need to say I'm sorry.
You forgave me for the mistakes I have made
When you're still living in the past.
We go through life walking on egg shells.
I don't want to hurt you,
And you don't want to hurt me.
But Somewhere in this equation
There has to be room for understanding.
So much for being friends. Begin Again.
I guess this is the end. Begin Again.

He's been saying we should have a group run to pick up trash - SOLV style - and really set an example for others in our communities, so we're issuing a RunOregon challenge to our readers to answer the call!
When: Sunday, August 1
What time: Whenever you want!
Where: Wherever you and your running friends want to run!
How far: However far you want!
(Are you seeing a trend here?)
Yes, we're challenging you to turn your regular run - whether it's your long run, some easy miles, or even just a family walk - into a way to improve our running landscape.
On your run that day, just bring a plastic bag for the trash (I'm going to take a plastic grocery bag) and another bag to cover your hand to pick up any icky stuff (I guess if you have gloves at home you could do that too). It'll work best in small groups, so you could take turns being the picker-upper and the bag-carrier.
Please take a picture of yourself and your crew's work and send it to us at email@example.com, along with the story of your group's experience with the Rubbish Resolution Run.
In my observations, I've noticed that around schools and public transit stops there is often a lot of litter - mainly food wrappers. Maybe it's just Hoffman's frequent comments and quick stops to pick up an empty bottle or a Doritos bag, but lately my eyes have been drawn to the amazing amount of trash that people have just left by the side of the road or sidewalk. But either way, I plan to abandon my favorite trails and closed-to-traffic-paths for a route that leads by three schools.
So get out there, friends, and let's make the running routes of Oregon and SW Washington even more beautiful!
