During a media conference call on Friday, NASA managers provided some details about the potential plan to put astronauts onto the first test flight of the new SLS rockets. In particular, they stated that they would look at putting a crew of 2 onto the EM-1 mission for a 9-day loop around the moon (the baseline EM-1 mission is a 31-day mission, including a period in lunary orbit). The study should be completed in the Spring.
And then, on Monday, SpaceX held its own media conference call to announce plans to send a Dragon 2 capsule on a very similar trajectory to the revised crewed EM-1 mission. The plan would send two paying civilian astronauts on a trip around the moon next year. Welcome to the new space race?
Virgin Galactic had another glide flight of its new SpaceShipTwo spaceplane last Friday.

The Russian workhorse heavy-lift rocket, the Proton, is currently grounded due to a new hardware recall. The rocket may be grounded through the spring, delaying a backlog of commercial flights.
The new US presidential administration and Congress are starting to have an impact on NASA's plans. A few notable things happened in the beltway over the past few months.
- Acting NASA administrator Robert Lightfoot is looking into whether the first SLS flight could be crewed by astronauts rather than unmanned. This would potentially move up the timeline for NASA's exploration plans by several years.
- An authorization bill in Congress could direct NASA back to having Orion capable of supporting ISS crew flights as a backup to the Commercial Crew plan.
- The Sierra Nevada Corporation is proposing that their Dreamchaser spacecraft could be used for a sixth Hubble servicing mission.
Severe weather in Louisiana on February 7th included a tornado which struck NASA's Michoud facility near New Orleans. NASA facilities sustained damage but all employees are safe with no major injuries.

- On January 24th, Japan launched a military communications satellite on an H-IIA rocket.
- On January 28th, Arianespace launched a spanish communications satellite from French Guiana on a Soyuz rocket.
- On February 14th, Arianespace launch telecommunications satellites for Indonesia and Brasil from French Guiana on an Ariane 5 rocket.
- On February 15th, India launched a wide array of small satellites (104 in all) on their PSLV rocket.
- On February 19th, SpaceX launched an uncrewed Dragon spacecraft to the ISS on a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida.
And of course, here's the awesome video of the Falcon 9's first stage booster returning to Landing Zone 1 at CCAFS.
Up on the ISS, two cargo spacecraft departed. First, the Japanese HTV left ISS in late January. It stayed in orbit for another week with plans to conduct a tether experiment. However, the tether failed to deploy. HTV was followed quickly by the departure of Progress MS-03 from a nadir facing port of the space station.

2016 In Review – Part I
2015 year in review posts: Part I and Part II.
2014 year in review posts: Part I and Part II.
2013 year in review posts: Part I and Part II.
Part I – Exploration
Spaceflight, as a many-hundred billion-dollar sector, is a broad and complex industry. Even if we focus in on "exploration" – which is the primary focus of this blog – so that we can ignore military and commercial uses of Earth orbit, we are still left with a global list of activities, studies, missions, and companies. This means there is a lot of stuff going on. 2016 was a busy year with many exciting missions from several different countries. This diversity is great, but makes it hard to boil down the events of last year into a coherent story. Even within NASA, we have the ISS program, with its own highs and lows, and the totally separate and just as successful planetary science portfolio of missions. Those missions keep on going, regardless of whether the most recent cargo delivery has made it to our astronauts in orbit, for instance. Meanwhile, in China, the CNSA is continuing to grow as a nascent space power with new rockets, new launch sites, and a brand new space station. Then there's Russia, Japan, Europe, India, and more. If any theme can be found at all in the events of last year it is that space exploration continues to be a diverse and global endeavor. Putting any nationalism aside, this should give us hope that despite the ups and downs of the economies or space budgets in any given country, that exciting times lie ahead.
It's hard to start a summary of 2016 in spaceflight without acknowledging that the United States had a major election, with a new President to be inaugurated this week. Any presidential transition leads to uncertainty in the future of government programs, including NASA. Often election years leave the federal government in a continuing resolution. A continuing resolution means that Congress has yet to pass a budget for the year. This leaves NASA and other agencies working under last year's budget levels, with no increase for inflation or otherwise. The election was a big story for the country in a lot of ways, but NASA and its programs are most likely to feel the effects in 2017, as it tries to continue with business as usual as it waits for new priorities and a new budget.
While 2017 may bring about change (or not), 2016 was another good year for NASA's flagship space exploration missions. NASA had no major failures last year, just the usual hiccups and challenges (space is hard, after all) and even launched a new planetary exploration mission: OSIRIS-REX, which is on its way to visit an asteroid in 2023. In fact, last year showed that NASA is still a clear leader in planetary exploration, with probes in action all over the solar system. The NASA fleet at Mars remains strong, with two rovers on the surface and two probes in orbit. New Horizons received a mission extension and is on its way to a Kuiper Belt Object rendezvous in a few years. Meanwhile, the probe Juno made orbit at Jupiter and started scientific observations. Unfortunately, Juno has some sticky propellant valves and missed some of its early science orbits when it entered "safe mode." Fortunately, the probe was brought out of safe mode and completed a Jupiter flyby in December. Most of the probe's 20-month mission is ahead. Hopefully Juno's worst days are in the past! Out at Saturn, NASA is still operating the Cassini probe, which has been in orbit since 2004. Sadly, 2017 will see the end of Cassini, as it destroys itself in dramatic fashion, with a dive into Saturn's atmosphere.
Two other planetary missions of note from other countries had some action last year. ExoMars (a joint mission between ESA and Russia) launched and made it to Mars. However, its companion lander, Schiaparelli, was unable to make it safely to the Martian surface and crash-landed. Thus, NASA remains the sole space agency to have safely brought a spacecraft to the surface of Mars… having done so seven times. Of course, we shouldn't forget that the Soviet Union is the only country to have ever landed a probe on Venus! A feat which has not been repeated since 1982, and does not appear to be repeated any time soon, as most space agencies focus on asteroids and the outer solar system in their planetary science missions. Venus is not forgotten though, as Japan was able to begin doing science with their Akatsuki orbiter at Venus last year.
Following the theme of "space is hard," Japan had a pretty devastating failure when their new X-ray telescope Astro-H, or Hitomi, went out of contact after reaching orbit. Fortunately, Japan already has a strong space program and seems mature and professional enough to learn from their mistakes – they released a failure report very quickly after the accident. They currently have an asteroid sample return mission, Hayabusa 2, en route to its target in 2018, which we should all be very excited about. NASA has a strong relationship with JAXA, and will be curating the Hayabusa samples here at the Johnson Space Center when they return.
In human space exploration, the story continues to be the International Space Station. The ISS had an exciting year, partly because NASA and ESA continue to send charismatic astronauts who manage to make the mission feel very personal to all of us following back on Earth. It was a great year for following astronauts on Twitter, including Jeff Williams, Kate Rubins, Tim Kopra, Tim Peake, Scott Kelly, Shane Kimbrough, Thomas Pesquet, and Peggy Whitson. It's hard to see how this trend will do anything but accelerate, as it's a cheap and easy way for NASA to connect with the American public and share its mission. Scott Kelly of course returned from space early in the year and retired from NASA on a high note. Since the "year in space" was such a success, both operationally and as a public affairs bonanza, it seems likely NASA will want to try more longer duration expeditions in the future.
On the more nuts and bolts side of things for the ISS, all major mission events went well last year, with both the arrival and installation of the new IDA2 docking adapter and the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM). BEAM is an exciting demonstration of where human habitability in Earth orbit may be able to go in the future with inflatable structures. It is exciting to think that the technology may spinoff a private-public partnership with either or both of the companies Bigelow and Axiom to expand the ISS with new large inflatable modules in the future.
The ISS did face some minor setbacks of its own, although not quite as dramatic as in more recent years. Two rocket failures impacted ISS logistics: the SpaceX explosion on the pad in Florida in September and the loss of a Russian Progress resupply mission in December. The good news for NASA was that the SpaceX failure was not an ISS mission, but it meant a delay to the next planned resupply flight of a Dragon capsule, now scheduled for February. ISS is well stocked on supplies thanks to a Japanese resupply mission that also flew in December and the Orbital ATK Antares rocket returning to flight status in October. Even with both Japanese and American rockets able to keep ISS supplied, having the Russian Soyuz rocket family grounded must always make mission managers uneasy. After all, it is the same rocket family that failed in December that also delivers crews to the station. We are not in uncharted territory, as expedition schedules were in limbo after similar accidents in 2011 and 2015. But the ups and downs of the launch vehicle sector are a continual challenge not only for NASA's ISS program but for dreamers who envision hundreds of people at a time into deep space for colonization. ISS truly is the foothold where we must learn first, and is a great proving ground for those dreamers.
The ISS accounts for over 2,000 person days of space experience a year. The day-in and day-out slog of operating an aging orbital laboratory and learning to live there is slowly but surely preparing us for what comes next. This experience is shared by a partnership of 15 nations (USA, Canada, Russia, Japan, and 11 countries from ESA). However, the rising nation of China finds itself on the outside. Just like in many other sectors, China is finding its own way in space. Last year was a good one for the China National Space Agency (CNSA). Not only did they launch a brand new space station, Tiangong-2 and send a crew of 2 on a 30-day mission to the outpost, they also debuted a brand new Long March 5 heavy lift launcher while matching the US in successful launches on the year – twenty-two. A new medium-lift rocket, Long March 7, also debuted from a new coastal spaceport on Hainan Island, which should give CNSA more flexibility. CNSA's recent white paper publically published outlining their five-year plan shows ambition but also should be a douse of cold water on people expecting a space race between China and the USA. China certainly has a lot to be proud of as only the third independent nation to place humans in space. But they have a long way to go to put themselves on par with the modern space programs in America and elsewhere. I look forward to their planned lunar sample return mission in 2017, which will give them a lot of "street cred" if they pull it off!
Obviously these are not the only happenings in space exploration and related science areas. I could go on about the exciting developments in exoplanet astronomy, a field that may provide worlds to explore decades or centuries from now, for example. We continue to live in a golden age of space exploration that started with the Galileo probe to Jupiter in the early 90s. For me, 2016 was a testament to the true diversity of the state of space exploration and should serve as a reminder to avoid tunnel vision. There are many facets to how we explore. It's not just about shiny new rockets and capsules and astronauts, but its also not just about gathering science through a space telescope or a distant robotic probe. All these pieces fit together to move forward the state of our knowledge about the universe together. One of my favorite examples of this from last year was astronaut Kate Rubins' work on gene sequencing while aboard the ISS. Talk about two sectors that do not traditionally intersect, at least not in the minds of the general public. Diversity – both in the space agencies doing the exploration as well as the type of exploration – will keep the dream alive. I can't wait to see what we do on ISS this year but I also look forward to news out of China and India as they learn what it takes to fly in space.
The biggest problem with keeping up this steady cadence of exploration is how all these space agencies will pay for it, as the world faces challenging fiscal and security issues. Space is exciting – and important – but it is far from the first priority when it comes to setting budgets in most parts of the world. Fortunately, we have disruptive new players in the launch sector that can help us keep costs down. More on that in my next post.

The one and only orbital launch since my last post on January 5th was yet another Chinese rocket. This launch on the 9th carried several small Earth observation satellites into orbit.
Up on the ISS, the Expedition 50 crew completed two successful spacewalks to upgrade a portion of the space station's power systems to use new lithium-ion batteries. Last Friday, January 6th, Peggy Whitson and Shane Kimbrough completed the first spacewalk and yesterday, Friday, January 13th, Shane Kimbrough and Thomas Pesquet completed the second. Whitson's 46 hours over 7 spacewalks puts her in an elite class at 14th on the list of most spacewalking hours ever by a human. Shane also has an impressive 25 hours over only 4 EVAs, but it keeps him off this list of top 30 humans on Wikipedia (30th place is just over 38 cumulative hours. Also note that Whitson would only need one more spacewalk on her current mission to pass Sunita Williams' 50 hours in 7th place for most hours for a woman). Here are some video summaries from NASA and pictures from the spacewalks:

Best Of :: Megalopolitan Life
When iTheatre Collaborative postponed its production of By the Way, Meet Vera Stark last year, it was because casting of the title role wasn't going well. Vera Stark is, like so many actresses who start out hungry and wind up legendary, alone on her own stage. Unlike a lot of leading-lady parts, she's also tough to play. She works alongside other actors only because she needs someone to talk to, but none — in her estimation, and in ours — are her equals. Vera is a fictional character, drawn from life by playwright Lynn Nottage. Nicole Belit, the woman who played her in the iTheatre production, was very real. Eyes pooling with tears, nostrils flaring, and with posture that suggests she'd swallowed a yardstick, Belit was dazzling. Her second act performance provided wider range and the opportunity to play drunkenness, anger, and an aged actress's scenery-chewing. But it's the Vera of Act One who stayed with us: wildly romantic, full of energy and singleness of purpose as she aspired to a grander existence.
We'd like to think that someday Arizona will declare February 26 "Llamas on the Loose Day." Because who, after all, can forget the afternoon earlier this year when two of these giant furry creatures escaped from their Sun City home and tore through the streets of the West Valley, overturning cars and starting trash-can fires and riots? Okay, so maybe the llamas didn't terrorize the quiet streets of Sun City, but given the viral attention they received, you'd be forgiven for thinking they had. Within minutes of their escape, the two became a global Internet sensation. People across the country stopped whatever they were doing and watched the live-stream feed with bated breath. They inspired hashtags, GIFs, even a Buzzfeed quiz. Sheriff Joe's men put up a good fight, but they were no match for the llamas, who managed to run across busy streets uninjured for an hour. When the smaller of the two was finally lassoed, the larger one darted away. She evaded capture for another 15 minutes before finally succumbing, sadly ending what arguably was the most exciting event of the year. Follow them on Twitter: @SunCityLlamas.
When Tania Katan left her museum gig to go to work for a tech firm in North Scottsdale, there was a lot of head-scratching among members of the arts community. What was the writer/playwright/funny girl/creative dynamo going to do at a tech firm? Turns out, a whole lot. Within her first year, Katan had launched a simple but incredibly effective campaign called "It Was Never a Dress," turning the ubiquitous ladies room icon on her ear, explaining that her dress is really a cape and encouraging girls to consider a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Demand for stickers and T-shirts was immediate, and social media gobbled up the whole thing, millions of times over. We can't wait to see what Katan has up her sleeve, er, cape next.www.itwasneveradress.com
THEMIS, or, as its creators at Arizona State University call it, the Thermal Emission Imaging System, made its 60,000th trip around Mars this year. The infrared camera, which has been hitchhiking aboard NASA's Mars Odyssey since 2001, has taken nearly 400,000 images of the Red Planet. In the process, it has saved a landing rover from dashing to pieces in a field of giant boulders by finding it a safe place to set down, and it has helped scientists discover old lakes and gullies carved by melting snow, among other things. You can see what THEMIS sees in real time on ASU's website. Watching the cratered landscape roll by is surreal.201 East Orange Mall, Tempe
May 2015 will go down at the wettest month on record in the United States, and the second-wettest for Arizona, with well over an inch of rainfall recorded. Here in Phoenix, we just called it heaven — a month filled with wind, rain, and unseasonably cool temperatures. By the end of May, temperatures in the Valley were well over 100 degrees, but given that summer typically starts in March around here, we were okay with that.
It's the line reporters had itched to write from the time the Phoenix Open was renamed. "There was a waste management problem at the Waste Management Phoenix Open," belted out a lede in the Arizona Republic. Ick. Apparently, a porta-potty leaked raw sewage in puddles near the "Fry's Fan Zone" at Arizona's signature annual golf event, one of the largest in the country. It smelled, people walked through it, and it took hours to clean up. Not exactly a hole-in-one from a public relations standpoint or a fun time for event-goers. But a great lede.

Ranks Thinned at UK Practice
Nov. 3, 2009
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Illness and injury significantly thinned the ranks of the Kentucky football team during Tuesday morning's practice at the Nutter Training Center, Coach Rich Brooks has reported.
After avoiding the malady for most of the season, the flu bug has finally bitten hard. Linebacker Micah Johnson, offensive guard Christian Johnson, tailback Alfonso Smith, defensive end Patrick Ligon, offensive tackle Dave Ulinski, linebacker Jacob Dufrene and linebacker Ridge Wilson all missed practice because of illness.
In addition, tailback Derrick Locke (both knees), wide receiver Gene McCaskill (ankle), fullback John Conner (shin), safety Matt Lentz (toe) missed some or all of Tuesday's workout because of injuries. Brooks said that Locke remains doubtful to play on Saturday against Eastern Kentucky.
The only bright spot was the fact that All-America cornerback Trevard Lindley returned to practice for the first time since incurring his high-ankle sprain on Oct. 3. Lindley is not 100 percent, but was able to go through most of the drills at practice.
"You just have to have other people step up and fill those spots," Brooks said of trying to prepare for Eastern Kentucky. "The question you don't know is who or when they'll be back and who else is going to be down with them. It's just one of those things you have to deal with."
The Wildcats host the Colonels on Saturday at 1 p.m. The game will be televised live on WKYT in Lexington, WYMT in Hazard and on ESPN360.com. It also will be a delayed telecast on the Big Blue Sports Network.
Saturday is National College Football Day: Nearly 100 spectators gathered around a field in New Brunswick, N.J., on Nov. 6, 1869 to witness a game unlike anything seen before. On that day, Rutgers defeated Princeton, 6-4, but more importantly, the players left a lasting legacy that would evolve into the great spectacle of intercollegiate football. To honor the birth of an American institution, the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic created a holiday to be held annually on the first Saturday in November.
In 2006, the holiday took on added significance when the Classic teamed up with the V Foundation for Cancer Research to raise funds and increase awareness in the fight against cancer. This year, the American Football Coaches Association, the National Association of Collegiate Football Officials, the Football Writers Association of America, the College Sports Information Directors of America and the Athletic Equipment Managers Association have given their support to this great cause.
Celebrate the sixth-annual National College Football Day on Nov. 7 and consider making a donation to the V Foundation and help us "Blow the Whistle on Cancer." For more information, visit www.nationalcollegefootballday.com.
Tickets Available: Tickets are available for each of Kentucky's remaining home games. However, less than 300 tickets are available for the Eastern Kentucky game and less than 400 tickets are available for the game against Tennessee.
- Eastern Kentucky, Nov. 7, 1 p.m. $35 each
- Tennessee, Nov. 28, time TBA, $40 each
Tickets may be purchased in-person at the Joe Craft Center Athletics Ticket Office, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., on the phone by calling 800-928-2287, or via the Internet at ukathletics.com or ticketmaster.com.
"Cat Walk" Set for 10:45: Fans wishing to participate in the "Cat Walk," cheering the Wildcats when they enter Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday, should be at Gate One of the stadium at 10:45 a.m.

The dominant discourse in the history of computing holds that the world's first stored-program digital electronic computer--the Manchester "Baby"--was developed under the sole leadership and direction of the Department of Electro-Technics. This biography, which arises out of a detailed re-examination of the historical evidence, suggests that the physicist P.M.S. Blackett was much more influential in the genesis, enabling, staffing, and funding of the project than has previously been recognized.

An NBA lawyer urged a U.S. federal judge on Wednesday to help end a stalemate with the NBA players union by agreeing to consider the legality of its lockout.
The league locked out its players on July 1, and NBA Commissioner David Stern has already canceled all November games.
The NBA, which filed suit the players union in August, wants U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe to rule that the NBA's lockout would not be considered an antitrust violation if the players dissolve their union.
In oral arguments in New York, NBA attorney Jeffrey Mishkin said the NBA Player's Association is using the possibility of an antitrust fight like "a loaded gun" in order to gain an upper hand at the negotiating table.
"They prefer the uncertainty," Mishkin said of the union's effort to get the lawsuit tossed out. "It's like taking a loaded gun and laying it on the table."
Gardephe, however, expressed reluctance to wade into the NBA's labor mess. He brushed aside Mishkin's argument, saying that posturing is a part of negotiations.
"If they've put the gun on the table, it's not clear there are any bullets in it," the judge said. "The courts discount threats of litigation in the context of collective bargaining."
Progress has stalled since talks broke off last Friday over the revenue split. The union's executive committee plans to meet on Thursday in New York, a person with knowledge of the plans told The Associated Press. The person requested anonymity because the plans have not been made public.
Owners are seeking significant changes to the league's salary structure, claiming $300 million in losses last season and hundreds of millions more in each year of the previous collective bargaining agreement, which was ratified in 2005.
Players have acknowledged the losses but dispute the size, and they've balked at the league's push for a hard salary cap and reduction in salaries and maximum contract lengths.
Union lawyer Jeffrey Kessler said in court that the NBA case should be tossed out because the league was trying to get the court involved on the mere possibility there would be an antitrust fight.
"They have no case," he said. "They're seeking to do something unprecedented, inappropriate."
Mishkin insisted the league had to act to stop threats that were hampering negotiations. He said the union was prepared to dissolve itself, a necessary legal step before individual players could bring antitrust actions against the league in federal court.
Gardephe did not immediately rule. He questioned Mishkin at length, saying at one point that the NBA lawsuit contained a "fair amount of speculation."

I have a 2001 right hand drive saturn stationwagon.
Has over 150,000 miles. Has been a good vehicle.
The past few weeks, starting to hear a rattle (like a screwdriver tapping fast against metal or a pencil tapping against a desk - hard to explain). Sometimes the rattle happens when you first start the car then quietens. When the A/C is turned,the rattle is constant while sitting still. Driving on the road, it does not rattle. Had the A/C checked. A new expansion valve and drier has been installed. Refrigerant placed in A/C. Puts out cold air.
Mechanics do not know what is making the sound.
An idler pulley was replaced. Checked the motor supports and replaced the struts so car is kept balanced and running smoothly as possible. If a socket or tool has fallen down in the engine area, I cannot find it and it should have dropped out of the car by now. The sound is heard coming from the pulley/belt area. No "service engine lights" have ever come on. Any ideas what could be happening.

Synthetic cannabinoids are a rapidly emerging class of abused drugs. Synthetic cannabinoids are typically sold as "herbal blends" or "incense," commonly referred to as Spice products. No controlled human experiments have been conducted on the effects of Spice products or the synthetic cannabinoids they often contain.
An internet-based survey study was conducted with adults reporting at least one lifetime use of a Spice product.
Respondents were primarily male, Caucasian and ≥12 yrs of education. Use of other psychoactive drugs was common, though 21% identified Spice products as their preferred drug. Spice products were most frequently obtained from retail vendors and smoked, though other forms of ingestion were endorsed. Mean age of first use was 26 and mean frequency of use in the past year was 67 days (range 0–365). Primary reasons for use were curiosity, positive drug effect, relaxation, and to get high without having a positive drug test. Acute subjective effects were similar to known effects of cannabis, and a subset of users met DSM criteria for abuse and dependence on Spice products.
Participants exhibited a diverse profile of use patterns as is typical for other drugs of abuse. There was evidence that users continued to seek and use these drugs after being banned by local authorities. This study should be interpreted with caution due to methodological limitations. Controlled laboratory research is needed to further examine the behavioral pharmacology of individual synthetic cannabinoids found in Spice products.
Synthetic cannabinoids represent a rapidly emerging class of drugs. Sold as "herbal blends" or "incense," Spice products (named for one of the more popular brands) are readily available in retail stores and over the internet. In order to circumvent drug laws and regulation, Spice products contain package labels indicating they are to be used as "incense" and are "not for human consumption." However, they are frequently marketed as legal/natural alternatives to cannabis (marijuana) and are generally purchased for the purpose of getting intoxicated (Vardakou et al., 2010).
Forensic toxicology analyses have identified over a dozen synthetic cannabinoids in these products, none of which are included on package labeling (Dresen et al., 2010; Lindigkeit et al., 2009; Hudson and Ramsey, in press). Many of the cannabinoids found in samples of Spice products have an affinity for the CB1 receptor that is 4–5 times greater than THC and have demonstrated greater potency compared with THC on classical cannabinoid tetrad tests (Aung et al., 2000; Wiley et al., 1998). Variability also exists in the combinations and concentrations of the synthetic cannabinoids within Spice products such that using different brands, or even different batches of the same brand, can produce markedly different effects (Auwärter et al., 2009; Dresen et al., 2010).
Evidence is emerging to suggest synthetic cannabinoid use can be problematic. Case reports suggest that tolerance develops quickly and withdrawal has been observed following chronic use (Zimmermann et al., 2009). Case reports of adverse events following use of Spice products confirmed to contain JWH-018 and JWH-073 indicate these drugs can produce anxiety, disorientation, panic, tachycardia, and acutely exacerbate psychotic episodes (Schneir et al., 2010; Müller et al., 2010a; Müller et al., 2010b). German physicians have reported cardiovascular and nervous system problems following chronic synthetic cannabinoid exposure, and poison control centers in Sweden have reported an increase in the number of people suffering from "Spice toxicity" (EMCDDA, 2009). The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that calls related to synthetic cannabinoids and Spice products increased from 13 calls in 2009 to about 3000 calls in 2010 (AAPCC, 2010).
There are limited epidemiological data regarding the use of synthetic cannabinoids and there is a lack of published data regarding the subjective and behavioral effects of Spice products among individuals not seeking emergency care. The aim of this study was to collect data on the characteristics and beliefs of individuals who have used Spice products, independent of whether they had previously experienced unwanted or serious side effects.
An anonymous internet-based survey study was conducted using a paid account on the internet survey host SurveyMonkey.com. Participants were recruited via posts on e-mail listserves and internet message boards/forums containing references to Spice products (e.g., drugs-forum.com; shroomery.org). Participants were excluded if they had never used Spice products, were not fluent in English, were under the age of 18, and/or if they had already completed the survey. No remuneration was provided for completing the survey.
Survey questions included basic demographics and questions pertaining to use of Spice products including: use initiation and frequency, reasons for use, beliefs about the content and safety, source of product, and subjective ratings of acute and chronic effects. When possible, survey questions were adopted from established assessments (e.g., DSM-IV checklist (Feingold and Rounsaville, 1995), Addiction Severity Index (McLellan et al., 1985), Marijuana Withdrawal Checklist (Budney et al., 1999), National Survey on Drug Use and Health). The survey took approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Data were collected between January 4, 2011 and February 7, 2011. During that time, 391 respondents accessed the survey, of which 168 met the eligibility criteria and completed the survey questions. Survey data collection ended after no new respondents completed the survey for approximately 2 weeks. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the demographic and drug use characteristics of respondents. Missing data were rare, but, when present, were not included in data calculations.
Study completers represented 13 different countries and 42 of the 50 U.S. states. They were primarily male (83%), Caucasian (90%), and had never been married (67%). The majority (96%) had a high school level of education, and 48% had a college degree. At the time of survey completion, 47% were employed full time, 28% were students, 9% were unemployed, and 38% were subject to drug testing procedures.
Respondents endorsed lifetime use of a variety of licit and illicit drugs including: alcohol (92%), cannabis (84%), tobacco (66%), hallucinogens (37%), prescription opioids (34%), MDMA (29%), benzodiazepines (23%), amphetamines (22%), cocaine (17%), salvia divinorum (17%), heroin (7%), inhalants (7%), dissociative anesthetics (6%), methamphetamine (3%), and miscellaneous drugs (mephadrone, dextromethorphan, kratom; 12%). Spice was reported as the drug of choice among 21% of respondents, and 25% reported no plans for future Spice use.
Respondents reported obtaining Spice products from retail vendors (e.g., head shops, gas stations/convenience stores; 87%), the Internet (38%) or from friends and/or relatives (29%). Though 49% of respondents reported living in an area where local legislation had been passed to ban Spice products or individual synthetic cannabinoids, only 2% reported obtaining Spice from an illicit drug dealer.
Mean (SD) age of first use of Spice products was 26 (9). Mean days of use in the past year was 67 (SD: 102; range: 0 – 365) and mean number of uses per day was 4 (SD: 4; range: 0–20). A subset of respondents endorsed regular Spice use, with 55% and 39% reporting use in the past month and past week, respectively. Spice products were primarily smoked (via pipe, cigarette, blunt, or water pipe/bong), though administration via vaporization, oral ingestion, and rectal ingestion were also reported. During an average episode, participants reported consuming a mean of 4.8 (4.2) "hits" or 1.0 (1.2) grams of product. The average duration of subjective intoxication lasted 93 (SD: 69, range: 10–360) minutes. The maximum amount consumed in a single episode was reported as 7.6 (5.8) "hits" or 1.5 (1.6) grams of product, and the greatest duration of intoxication lasted 170 (SD: 152, range: 10–780) minutes.
Spice use generally occurred alone (44%) or in small groups (42%), as opposed to large social gatherings (14%). Primary reasons for use were curiosity (78%), liked the effects (58%) and relaxation (48%), though 30% endorsed using Spice products to achieve intoxication while avoiding detection in drug urinalysis testing. Spice was used in conjunction with other drugs on at least one occasion by 65% of participants. Alcohol (54%), cannabis (40%), and tobacco (38%) were the most frequently reported drugs combined with Spice products.
Subjective effects of Spice products are provided in Table 1. Most respondents (85%) indicated that Spice products produced subjective effects similar to cannabis, and fewer than 10% reported similarities between Spice products and other licit and illicit drugs. Despite producing effects similar to marijuana, 54% of respondents reported Spice products did produce subjective effects that were unique and discernable from other licit and illicit drugs. The frequency of hallucinations (28%) following Spice product use is also greater than what would be expected for cannabis consumption.
Most respondents (87%) reported having a positive experience following use of a Spice product, though negative or unwanted effects following use were reported by 40% of the sample. The quantity of Spice product consumed did not vary significantly between respondents who did and did not have a history of negative effects. Interestingly, 11% reported that multiple uses of the same brand of Spice product resulted in variable and unpredictable effects.
The majority (88%) of participants were aware that Spice products contained chemical constituents that were added to a plant product to produce intoxication; however, 11% believed that Spice products contained only "natural herbs and spices" and 14% agreed that "If Spice products were not safe for human use, they would not be marketed and sold in stores." Although most reported that Spice products were "generally safe for human use," 68% also believed there was an inherent danger or harm associated with Spice product use. Mean (SD) rating of overall harm of Spice product use on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 10 (extreme) was 2.7 (2.3), with 18% of respondents endorsing "no risk" (0) and <1% endorsing "extreme risk" (10).
A subset of respondents met DSM-IV criteria for abuse (37%) and dependence criteria (12%). Using Spice in a hazardous situation was the most commonly endorsed abuse criteria (27%), and being unable to cut down or stop Spice use (38%), experiencing symptoms of tolerance (36%), using for longer periods than originally intended (22%) and having interference with other activities (18%) were the most commonly reported dependence criteria. Despite endorsing problems related to Spice use, none had ever sought or received treatment.
Withdrawal symptoms following cessation of Spice use were rare, and most prevalent among more frequent users. The most commonly reported withdrawal effects were headaches (15%), anxiety/nervousness (15%), coughing (15%), insomnia/sleep disturbance (14%), anger/irritability (13%), impatience (11%), difficulty concentrating (9%), restlessness (9%), nausea (7%), and depression (6%).
Synthetic cannabinoids are a rapidly emerging class of psychoactive drugs for which little scientific data is available. To date, most published reports have been limited to toxicology reports focused on identifying the chemical constituents of commercial Spice products or case reports of individuals who present to hospitals following an adverse drug effect. Participants in this survey were generally experienced drug users, having reported use of a number of other psychoactive substances, in many cases concurrently with Spice products. Acute administration was predominantly associated with positive drug effects, though negative or unwanted effects and risk of tolerance/dependence were also commonly endorsed, consistent with prior case reports (Zimmermann et al., 2009; Schneir et al., 2010; Müller et al., 2010a). Most participants recognized that use of Spice products carried a risk, but most believed the likelihood/severity of potential harm to be low.
The most frequently reported reason for using Spice products was for the pleasurable effects associated with intoxication. One in five participants reported that Spice products were their current "drug of choice," and many reported continued use of Spice products following local legislation banning these products or their constituents. These findings are important because they suggest an established market for synthetic cannabinoids. Thus, legislation prohibiting these products and/or availability of commercial drug testing resources to identify use of Spice products may not eliminate use.
Interpretation of this survey should be considered with caution due to significant methodological limitations. First, the sample size was relatively small, and there is selection bias and an inability to calculate response rate when conducting an internet-based survey. Study participants were limited to those with internet access, and who were willing to complete the survey without compensation. Second, because questions were mostly retrospective in nature, the data is subject to recall bias. Third, the chemical constituents of Spice products used by survey respondents cannot be known, and may be varied. Thus, there is no way to attribute the effects reported by study participants to a specific chemical, and the influence of non-cannabinoid constituents of Spice products or concurrently used drugs on reported effects cannot be known. Also of note, this survey was conducted prior to federal United States legislation that placed 5 synthetic cannabinoids commonly found in Spice products under Schedule I restriction.
In summary, the present case report survey indicates that Spice product use is similar to that of other abused drugs. The frequency, manner, and consequences of use vary widely, and range from those who engage in sporadic use without negative consequence to those who experience acute adverse reactions to the drug, and those who develop significant problems related to chronic use. Provided the similarities between the subjective effects of Spice products reported in this study and the known behavioral pharmacology of cannabis, it is likely that this survey indeed provides an evaluation of synthetic cannabinoid use in humans. However, given the limitations of a retrospective survey, use of an undefined/heterogeneous sample, and our inability to confirm the composition of Spice products administered by respondents, replication of these results is needed using more sophisticated survey methods and/or controlled laboratory studies.

Ismara (Ancient Greek: Ἴσμαρος) also Ismaros or Ismarus is a city of the Cicones, mentioned in the Odyssey.
Homeric Ismaros
After their departure from Troy, Odysseus and his companions stop at Ismaros.[1] They sack the town, and attack the Cicones, the inhabitants of the adjacent region. They kill the men and divide the women and treasures among themselves, then begin to feast, despite Odysseus' advice that they leave immediately. The Cicones, who have left in search of help, come back in the morning in great numbers. Odysseus manages to escape, although he loses several men in the process. He embarks with the survivors and continues his journey home to Ithaca.

Clare is a western county, perhaps most famous for its scenery which includes the cliffs of Moher and the Burren. Clare families are mainly native Gaelic families, as the county was set aside for Gaelic families which were expelled from other parts of the country during the Cromwellian era. Common names in the county include McMahon, McNamara, O'Brien, Moloney, Ryan, Kelly, Mclnerney, O'Connor, Keane, O'Halloran, Hogan, Burke, Murphy, Lynch and Walsh. It is one of the counties which experienced a high level of emigration to North America and elsewhere. Between the years 1850 and 1880 an estimated 112,000 people emigrated from Co. Clare. This book sets out the records available for Clare, where they can be accessed, and how they can be used to best effect in tracing Clare families.

How do I get ladybug scent out of my house?
By Trudy from Trout Run, PA
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
I had no clue that ladybugs smelled bad! :-o Reading the following link I just can't help but ask how many are in your home? :-o The link explains what the compounds are that create their smell but I think you're going to need to do the homework about those compounds to find out how to get rid of the odor :-(
http://pubs.acs … 4/8514news1.html
In the meantime, try putting out small bowls of vinegar in out of the way places around your home because vinegar absorbs a lot of nasty odors. And maybe an exterminator can give you other ideas of how to remove the odor.
Let us know what you find out please :-)
They are probably not lady bugs but an orange look alike called the Asian beetle. They smell bad when smashed and stain as well. They usually get really bad in the fall during harvest as they get kicked up out of the soy plants, corn, etc. They crawl into cracks and crevices to overwinter. I haven't figured out to get them to leave on their own. I vacuum them with a dust buster or my regular vacuum. This way they don't get smashed.
Have you tried burning a candle? Good luck.
I don't know if this will work but worth a try. Fill a spray bottle with water and put in a few drops of peppermint oil. Make sure it is a quality oil. The scent may help get rid of the odor. Spray all doorways, Windows and any other openings. Bugs do not like peppermint so may not enter your home. Also bicarbonate of soda in a dish will absorb existing odors. I hope this is helpful.

Yin/Restorative Yoga with Rebecca
In this Yin/Restorative Yoga class, we practice a very soft, slow nurturing form of yoga. Yin yoga works on the connective tissues and joints and involves no muscular effort. We hold poses for 3-5 minutes so to work really deep into the tissues – like a slow and deep massage. Restorative yoga is a bit like yin but uses lots of props – cushions, blankets, bolsters (sometimes even hot water bottles) to full support the body in simple poses. The effect is a deep relaxation and release of stress and emotion.
I first encountered yoga when I was a stressed 15 year old and my grandmother showed me a sequence of asanas (physical postures) to help focus and calm my mind. I continued to practise on an off, and in the last 10 years began to take it more seriously, establishing a regular practice. In 2014 I took this further by completing a British Wheel Foundation Course in preparation for teacher training on the British Wheel Teaching Diploma. I am now qualified as a Yoga Teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga (accounting for 500 hours of training). Teaching students of all ages and levels of experience has transformed my own relationship to yoga and confirmed this is what I most love doing!

Personally I am having corned beef and cabbage, I have to.
But I have made with leftovers a corned beef salad, with romaine, sauerkraut, corned beef, some dressing thousand island or russian, some onions, carrots shredded.
It is good and I do enjoy it on a later date. But ... What else do you like with corned beef or do you make anything different on St. Patty's day.
FYI: I do actually put green food coloring in my beer, just for tradition.

I have some users who connect to our terminal server through the remote web workplace. I have one now who cannot connect at all. Each time you click Connect to my Application Sharing Server, it launches but the Windows has to close Internet Explorer window pops up. The terminal connection will actually work in the background, but of course, once you hit anything on that pop up window it closes everything.
I feel like I'm overlooking something small, so please don't hesitate with any ideas.

I'm assuming that IE is completely up to date?
Sep 30, 2009 at 8:16 UTC
It was, but I've had some problems with IE8 in the past, so I went back to 7 and got the same thing. Before this started crashing, I was getting a DEP error (only when connecting to the terminal) IE. Also, the ActiveX kept prompting but I don't think it ever really installed. I know I've seen it install before, but you had to go and enable it. Nothing there for the add on. I've tried it with and without adding our site to the Trusted Sites. IE browses fine everywhere else. Thanks.

ps. Fugax is definitely Latin; amaurosis is Greek imported into Latin.
This article needs some serious revision! Amaurosis fugax is painless, monocular loss of vision, which may be total or sectorial. Therefore, general hypotension and positive acceleration should not be included as causes because these things would cause binocular loss of vision. I am going to remove them, and also reorganize the content. Also, please expect many more in-text citations over the next few days. Thank you for your patience! Kilbad 20:55, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I have since added much more content and citations. However, this article is still extremely inadequate/incomplete. I will continue to work on it in the coming days. Kilbad 20:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Peer reviewlet[edit]
Kilbad (talk · contribs) left a message on Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Assessment requesting a peer review. I direct the reader to a previous peer review by Colin (talk · contribs) on this page. Many of Colin's comments are still applicable. For instance, WP:MEDMOS should be applied to this article with regards to the section headers. The MOS in general could be applied with regards to bullet points. I also note that the numerous references are not formatted with {{cite journal}}. The references in general are mostly primary sources - the average reader will not benefit at all from knowing that once in the history of mankind someone found PAN as a cause for amaurosis fugax. Hope this helps. I'm happy to assist in case of any further issues. JFW | T@lk 22:09, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
