Naltrexone has the capacity to cause hepatocellular injury when given in excessive doses.
Naltrexone is contraindicated in acute hepatitis or liver failure, and its use in patients with active liver disease must be carefully considered in light of its hepatotoxic effects.
The margin of separation between the apparently safe dose of naltrexone and the dose causing hepatic injury appears to be only five-fold or less. Naltrexone does not appear to be a hepatotoxin at the recommended doses.
Patients should be warned of the risk of hepatic injury and advised to stop the use of naltrexone and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms of acute hepatitis.
Evidence of the hepatotoxic potential of naltrexone is derived primarily from a placebo controlled study in which naltrexone hydrochloride was administered to obese subjects at a dose approximately five-fold that recommended for the blockade of opiate receptors (300 mg per day). In that study, 5 of 26 naltrexone recipients developed elevations of serum transaminases (i.e., peak ALT values ranging from a low of 121 to a high of 532; or 3 to 19 times their baseline values) after three to eight weeks of treatment. Although the patients involved were generally clinically asymptomatic and the transaminase levels of all patients on whom follow-up was obtained returned to (or toward) baseline values in a matter of weeks, the lack of any transaminase elevations of similar magnitude in any of the 24 placebo patients in the same study is persuasive evidence that naltrexone is a direct (i.e., not idiosyncratic) hepatotoxin.
This conclusion is also supported by evidence from other placebo controlled studies in which exposure to naltrexone hydrochloride at doses above the amount recommended for the treatment of alcoholism or opiate blockade (50 mg/day) consistently produced more numerous and more significant elevations of serum transaminases than did placebo. Transaminase elevations in 3 of 9 patients with Alzheimer's Disease who received naltrexone hydrochloride (at doses up to 300 mg/day) for 5 to 8 weeks in an open clinical trial have been reported.
Although no cases of hepatic failure due to naltrexone administration have ever been reported, physicians are advised to consider this as a possible risk of treatment and to use the same care in prescribing naltrexone as they would other drugs with the potential for causing hepatic injury.
To prevent occurrence of an acute abstinence syndrome, or exacerbation of a pre-existing subclinical abstinence syndrome, patients must be opioid-free for a minimum of 7 to 10 days before starting naltrexone. Since the absence of an opioid drug in the urine is often not sufficient proof that a patient is opioid-free, a naloxone challenge should be employed if the prescribing physician feels there is a risk of precipitating a withdrawal reaction following administration of naltrexone. The naloxone challenge test is described in the DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION section.
While naltrexone is a potent antagonist with a prolonged pharmacologic effect (24 to 72 hours), the blockade produced by naltrexone is surmountable. This is useful in patients who may require analgesia, but poses a potential risk to individuals who attempt, on their own, to overcome the blockade by administering large amounts of exogenous opioids. Indeed, any attempt by a patient to overcome the antagonism by taking opioids is very dangerous and may lead to a fatal overdose. Injury may arise because the plasma concentration of exogenous opioids attained immediately following their acute administration may be sufficient to overcome the competitive receptor blockade. As a consequence, the patient may be in immediate danger of suffering life endangering opioid intoxication (e.g., respiratory arrest, circulatory collapse). Patients should be told of the serious consequences of trying to overcome the opiate blockade. (see PRECAUTIONS: Information for Patients).
There is also the possibility that a patient who has been treated with naltrexone will respond to lower doses of opioids than previously used, particularly if taken in such a manner that high plasma concentrations remain in the body beyond the time that naltrexone exerts its therapeutic effects. This could result in potentially life-threatening opioid intoxication (respiratory compromise or arrest, circulatory collapse, etc.). Patients should be aware that they may be more sensitive to lower doses of opioids after naltrexone treatment is discontinued.
Safe use of naltrexone in rapid opioid detoxification programs has not been established (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
In an emergency situation in patients receiving fully blocking doses of naltrexone, a suggested plan of management is regional analgesia, conscious sedation with a benzodiazepine, use of non-opioid analgesics or general anesthesia.
In a situation requiring opioid analgesia, the amount of opioid required may be greater than usual, and the resulting respiratory depression may be deeper and more prolonged.
A rapidly acting opioid analgesic which minimizes the duration of respiratory depression is preferred. The amount of analgesic administered should be titrated to the needs of the patient. Non-receptor mediated actions may occur and should be expected (e.g., facial swelling, itching, generalized erythema, or bronchoconstriction) presumably due to histamine release.
Irrespective of the drug chosen to reverse naltrexone blockade, the patient should be monitored closely by appropriately trained personnel in a setting equipped and staffed for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Severe opioid withdrawal syndromes precipitated by the accidental ingestion of naltrexone have been reported in opioid-dependent individuals. Symptoms of withdrawal have usually appeared within five minutes of ingestion of naltrexone and have lasted for up to 48 hours. Mental status changes including confusion, somnolence and visual hallucinations have occurred. Significant fluid losses from vomiting and diarrhea have required intravenous fluid administration. In all cases patients were closely monitored and therapy with non-opioid medications was tailored to meet individual requirements.
Use of naltrexone does not eliminate or diminish withdrawal symptoms. If naltrexone is initiated early in the abstinence process, it will not preclude the patient's experience of the full range of signs and symptoms that would be experienced if naltrexone had not been started. Numerous adverse events are known to be associated with withdrawal.
Naltrexone and its primary metabolite are excreted primarily in the urine, and caution is recommended in administering the drug to patients with renal impairment.
Cautions should be exercised when naltrexone hydrochloride is administered to patients with liver disease. An increase in naltrexone AUC of approximately 5-and 10-fold in patients with compensated and decompensated liver cirrhosis, respectively, compared with subjects with normal liver function has been reported. These data also suggest that alterations in naltrexone bioavailability are related to liver disease severity.
The risk of suicide is known to be increased in patients with substance abuse with or without concomitant depression. This risk is not abated by treatment with naltrexone (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
It is recommended that the prescribing physician relate the following information to patients being treated with naltrexone:
You have been prescribed naltrexone hydrochloride tablets as part of the comprehensive treatment for your alcoholism or drug dependence. You should carry identification to alert medical personnel to the fact that you are taking naltrexone hydrochloride. A naltrexone medication card may be obtained from your physician and can be used for this purpose. Carrying the identification card should help to ensure that you can obtain adequate treatment in an emergency. If you require medical treatment, be sure to tell the treating physician that you are receiving naltrexone therapy.
You should take naltrexone as directed by your physician. If you attempt to self-administer heroin or any other opiate drug, in small doses while on naltrexone, you will not perceive any effect. Most important, however, if you attempt to self-administer large doses of heroin or any other opioid (including methadone or LAAM) while on naltrexone, you may die or sustain serious injury, including coma.
Naltrexone is well-tolerated in the recommended doses, but may cause liver injury when taken in excess or in people who develop liver disease from other causes. If you develop abdominal pain lasting more than a few days, white bowel movements, dark urine, or yellowing of your eyes, you should stop taking naltrexone immediately and see your doctor as soon as possible.
A high index of suspicion for drug-related hepatic injury is critical if the occurrence of liver damage induced by naltrexone is to be detected at the earliest possible time. Evaluations, using appropriate batteries of tests to detect liver injury are recommended at a frequency appropriate to the clinical situation and the dose of naltrexone.
Naltrexone does not interfere with thin-layer, gas-liquid, and high pressure liquid chromatographic methods which may be used for the separation and detection of morphine, methadone or quinine in the urine. Naltrexone may or may not interfere with enzymatic methods for the detection of opioids depending on the specificity of the test. Please consult the test manufacturer for specific details.
Studies to evaluate possible interactions between naltrexone and drugs other than opiates have not been performed. Consequently, caution is advised if the concomitant administration of naltrexone and other drugs is required.
The safety and efficacy of concomitant use of naltrexone and disulfiram is unknown, and the concomitant use of two potentially hepatotoxic medications is not ordinarily recommended unless the probable benefits outweigh the known risks.
Lethargy and somnolence have been reported following doses of naltrexone and thioridazine.
Patients taking naltrexone may not benefit from opioid containing medicines, such as cough and cold preparations, antidiarrheal preparations, and opioid analgesics. In an emergency situation when opioid analgesia must be administered to a patient receiving naltrexone, the amount of opioid required may be greater than usual, and the resulting respiratory depression may be deeper and more prolonged (see PRECAUTIONS).
The following statements are based on the results of experiments in mice and rats. The potential carcinogenic, mutagenic and fertility effects of the metabolite 6-β-naltrexol are unknown.
In a two-year carcinogenicity study in rats, there were small increases in the numbers of testicular mesotheliomas in males and tumors of vascular origin in males and females. The incidence of mesothelioma in males given naltrexone at a dietary dose of 100 mg/kg/day (600 mg/m2/day; 16 times the recommended therapeutic dose, based on body surface area) was 6%, compared with a maximum historical incidence of 4%. The incidence of vascular tumors in males and females given dietary doses of 100 mg/kg/day (600 mg/m2/day) was 4% but only the incidence in females was increased compared with a maximum historical control incidence of 2%. there was no evidence of carcinogenicity in a two-year dietary study with naltrexone in male and female mice.
There was limited evidence of a weak genotoxic effect of naltrexone in one gene mutation assay in a mammalian cell line, in the Drosphilia recessive lethal assay, and in non-specific DNA repair tests with E-coli. However, no evidence of genotoxic potential was observed in a range of other in-vitro tests, including assays for gene mutation in bacteria, yeast, or in a second mammalian cell line, a chromosomal aberration assay, and an assay for DNA damage in human cells. Naltrexone did not exhibit clastogenicity in an in-vivo mouse micronucleus assay.
Naltrexone (100 mg/kg/day [600 mg/m2/day] PO; 16 times the recommended therapeutic dose, based on body surface area) caused a significant increase in pseudopregnancy in the rat. A decrease in the pregnancy rate of mated female rats also occurred. There was no effect on male fertility at this dose level. The relevance of these observations to human fertility is not known.
Naltrexone has been shown to increase the incidence of early fetal loss when given to rats at doses ≥ 30 mg/kg/day (180 mg/m2/day; 5 times the recommended therapeutic dose, based on body surface area) and to rabbits at oral doses ≥ 60 mg/kg/day (720 mg/m2/day; 18 times the recommended therapeutic dose, based on body surface area). There was no evidence of teratogenicity when naltrexone was administered orally to rats and rabbits during the period of major organogenesis at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (32 and 65 times the recommended therapeutic dose, respectively, based on body surface area).
Rats do not form appreciable quantities of the major human metabolites, 6-β-naltrexol; therefore, the potential reproductive toxicity of the metabolites in rats is not known.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Naltrexone should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Whether or not naltrexone affects the duration of labor and delivery is unknown.
In animal studies, naltrexone and 6-β-naltrexol were excreted in the milk of lactating rats dosed orally with naltrexone.
Whether or not naltrexone is excreted in human milk is unknown. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when naltrexone is administered to a nursing woman.
The safe use of naltrexone in pediatric patients younger than 18 years old has not been established.

HOLLISTER, Mo. -- Plans are underway to revamp some coveted lakefront property on the edge of Hollister. It's a big piece of the tourism puzzle for a small town trying to reinvent itself.
The place where the cool waters of Lake Taneycomo intersect with Turkey Creek is a popular fishing and boating spot that up until now has been difficult to reach.
"Hollister does not have great public access to the water. This will provide that," said City Administrator Rick Ziegenfuss.
The city bought a three-acre lakefront plot about a year ago. At that time, it was filled with mobile homes. It was a situation deemed unsafe for an area designated as a federal flood plain.
"Each time we've had a flood, we have had to do fast water rescues," said Ziegenfuss. "We were able to relocate these people out of the flood plain and turn this into a legacy public project."
The area's propensity to flood is something that has really hurt the tourism industry in Hollister over the years, but some longtime businesses have managed to survive.
"It's a little bit set apart; it's off the beaten path," said Cheryl Welta, manager of Ye Olde English Inn.
The century-old Ye Olde English Inn has been the anchor of downtown Hollister for years.
"It was opened in 1912 and was one of the first buildings ever built here," said Weltha, "and the train depot was a huge part of that too."
Weltha says being just steps away from public shoreline will allow her business to hook even more hotel guests.
"I think it will be very beneficial," she said. "Anytime you can add access to Taneycomo, it's going to draw more people."
A 1920s-era cottage on the city's new park property may or may not be salvageable. Still, the goal is to have fishing and picnic space ready for the busy summer season, with even more plans to come for this historic piece of property.
The land flooded in both 2008 and 2011. Any plans that the city makes will take the possibility of future floods into account.

Is Your Family's Money Legacy Keeping You From Growing Your Biz?
By: Kendall SummerHawk (see my bio)
| Leave a commentMore posts by Kendall SummerHawk | Follow me on Twitter
When it comes to family you inherited more than just your looks, height or hair color. You also inherited beliefs and values about money that have been handed down for generations.
Which is great if your family's money history was free from turmoil, secrecy or difficulties.
Unfortunately, what's more likely true is that the money habits and mindset you inherited are keeping you from realizing your value and preventing you from charging what you're worth, standing in your power with clear money boundaries, raising your fees and more.
Good news is, the opportunity to heal your money legacy is right at your fingertips. And, once you do so, you'll see an immediate surge of new opportunities, growth and cash flow in your business.
To help you re-invent your money legacy, here are 3 money and soul tips I've personally used to help me go from frustrating 5-figures to now running a multi-million dollar coaching business.
Tip #1 Give Yourself Permission To Make More Than Anyone In Your Family
Even though it's natural for our parents to want us to do well, it's common to have received unspoken messages that it's somehow "not okay" to make more than them.
I recommend identifying the one person in your immediate family you're most concerned about regarding this issue. You can hold your own private "blessing ceremony" where you ask for their blessing to exceed your past income. Allow yourself to let go of past notions of unworthiness so that you can let in feelings of deserving grace and good fortune.
Tip #2 Girls Want More Than Just To Have Fun — They Want To Be Paid What They're Worth!
Society often has lower expectations of success for women versus men. When I was growing up, my dad didn't expect me to be successful, or to even have a career! He would have been perfectly happy if I were only a wife and mom. Luckily, my mom was very successful as a solo-preneur, providing me with an example for success that I could model.
Choose someone you can model who is successful and who embodies the values and lifestyle you admire and appreciate. Ask yourself, "What does SHE believe about money and creating success?" so you can adopt some of those winning beliefs for yourself.
Tip #3 Accept Your Role As A Leader And Healer Of Money
This is a little woo-woo so stick with me here…If you have the desire to make more than spirit has singled you out as the leader and healer of money within your family legacy. Think of it this way: there is NO way you would have the desire to make more if you weren't also meant to step into this special, leadership role.
Your Business — And The Money You Create — Is Your New Family Legacy And A Vital Piece Of Your Spiritual Path
Every generation is meant to get stronger, healthier, smarter and yes, more successful. So, give yourself permission to be paid what you're worth. Your family's history is theirs, not yours. It's time you write your OWN history so you can move past where you are now and into a new level of income.

Let Affordable Set You FreeAffordable Bails New York, Inc. has designed this website in order to help you understand the bail process. You should know that the rule of thumb for bail is around 10% of the bail is the bondsmen's commission. Collateral, which you get back at the end of the case, also needs to be posted. This can be a home, co-op, condominium, land and of course cash. In most cases judges want to see collateral cash equaling to 35-50% of the bail in most jurisdictions. In others jurisdictions a combination of cash and property is required equaling and or exceeding the amount of the bail. Remember that if the conditions of the bail are met and when the case is over collateral is returned to the depositor in its entirety.
Bail bond laws vary from state to state, but allowing Affordable Bail Bonds to help you understand the basic rules regarding posting a bail will help you make a more informed decision when time is a factor.

Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
Volunteers are working to reforest an area scarred by a 12,000 acre wildfire near Glenwood Springs last summer.
About 300 volunteers are planting more than 5,000 trees, shrubs and plants in the burn area Saturday and Sunday.
The Coal Seam fire destroyed 29 homes and came within feet of
several municipal buildings. It was sparked June 8th by an underground coal fire that had been burning since at least 1910.
The wildfire was officially declared extinguished in December.

About Me Classic, Practical
This is my favorite everyday handbag. I used it so much it got worn out (after several years) and I bought another exactly the same. Note: decorative stitching makes the outside double pocket look small. It's not - each half can hold a smartphone with room to spare. Not quite an organizer, but not bad - three outside pockets, one zippered inside pocket, and the top zips for security. There are two open-top pockets of liner fabric inside - these don't count because they're flimsy and shallow. The lamb leather is supple and rich looking and feeling, and unusually lightweight. Makes the bag a joy to carry.
Very nice bag.

Great size for everyday for most people. It holds quite a bit in a compact design. Very soft leather and lovely red color. It is as it looks on my monitor, not a bright red at all, rather classy really. The strap is a good legnth, for your hand arm or shoulder, and it is wide enough to stay on your shoulder. I have a larger tote bag, and I can fit this right down inside along with any other things like water, books, papers ect. I call it "my bag", and the larger one "my bags bag".

What difference does it make to the
dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
whether the mad destruction is
wrought under the name of
totalitarianism or the holy name of
liberty and democracy?
~ Mohandas Gandhi
I don't think people realise — from what we know of, we have never had peace
on this planet -- as a species we have always been at war.
People say that the Africans started fighting each other after the Europeans
left, the Arabs after Hussein was defeated, Hindus and Muslims after the
British left, etc, yet Africans have always fought each other, and Arabs,
Hindus and Christians — almost everybody invading and fighting everybody.
We say it is the few in power, yet they do not do the actual killings -- it
is us citizens that do the slaughter and rape and plunder. Always have.
And anyway there are fights at almost every level -- religions within
religions, and families within families.
And those religious fanatics/extremists!
The wars are just an extension of the vibration of our collective
consciousness. We say we want peace yet there is little evidence from almost
anybody in almost any situation. Just a few. Even the peace movements fight
within themselves. I happen to know that.
We are a fighting, greedy and argumentative species.
As you say, if enough of us really wanted peace we would all get together
and work it out. Each section of people would have land to themselves and be
left alone to live in their own way. But of course, this wouldn't work out
either -- because each religion, each little section would want what they
want, their way -- right down to the family feuds.
As a whole humans are a aggressive, self-centred species and addicted to...
And would we stand by and watch people in other countries being abused?
Although of course that is what we are doing now. We only interfere when it
conveniently brings gain.
There are many interpretations of the Israel situation.
I have read many, yet I still do not feel I have got the full story.
Most reports seem biased one way or the other.
Although there is strong historical evidence to the contrary -- at least as
far as the dates are concerned, as far as I can make out one interpretation
says that the Jews left Egypt and wandered in the desert until god told them
they are the chosen people and the land they were approaching is theirs for
the taking.
According the Old Testament they are following the word of their god:
From a recent www.whatreallyhappened.com...
The Old Testament and the genocide in Gaza:
"You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you.
Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten
thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you."
(Leviticus, Chapter 26, verses 7-9)
"When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess
and drives out before you many nations … then you must destroy them totally.
Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy."
(Deuteronomy 7:1-2)
"…do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them … as
the Lord your God has commanded you…"
(Deuteronomy 20:16)
But then the Palestinians shows 'evidence' that their god said the land was
theirs. And so on.
Then there is a gap in my knowledge because the next thing I know is that
the Palestinians had the land back again -- and the English invaded, left
again, and before they went gave some of the land to the Jews?
Then the Jews invaded and occupied some more land, the UN said naughty, and
the Jews did what they wanted anyway. Is it that simple? UN did not approve
of the Iraq war either -- but it didn't make any difference did it. The UN
seems just a name and an occupation for some well-meaning people?
Of course if the Arabs feel they have lost their land they are going to
fight back -- anyway they can. And if the Jews feel attacked they want to
stop it -- anyway they can. And so on.
According to what I am seeing on the news Hamas was voted in democratically.
And they do seem to have said that they want Israel removed! Big conflict.
Incidentally, according to the alternative news the rockets said to be fired
into Israel by Hamas have landed mostly in empty car parks and fields?
And almost no causalities? And the rockets are supposed to be supplied by
Iran -- yet they have markings that are not Iranian?
Not directly connected is another strange thing -- America continues to
supply arms and at least three billion dollars a year -- and the standard of
living is much worse in America. I can understand American Jews wanting to
support their homeland, but taking it out of the public taxes when people
are losing their jobs and houses, and they do not have medical support?
Back to the human race. Everybody has always invaded everybody.
If everybody had to retreat to their own 'original' land where would
everybody go!
America would be left to the indigenous people as would Australia -- and
almost every other so-called country in the world. And who was there before
the American Indians and the Australian Aborigines anyway? And so on.
Yes, in theory we could sit down and talk it out. I have been doing that for
seventy years and I have found that no one will hear anything they do not
want to hear. And what they want to hear -- is what they want to hear --
which is what will benefit them.
I have spent time in Arab countries and enjoyed their hospitality, and I
also know many people with a Jewish background. In very different ways they
are somewhat the same -- both very powerful people. As I understand it
although it not easy to see, they are both from the same roots/stock.
Same as the Chinese and Japanese, and Sikhs and Hindus. Amazing what
evolution can bring about.
In one way the whole way everything is on this planet seems utterly, utterly
hopeless. How can anything change until the fundamental level of
consciousness changes -- within at least the majority of us, and there is
absolutely no great signs of that. A few, yes, but if you go even into some
of their lives you will find bias, stress, jealousy and conflict.
We do have a few people on the planet who are living a life larger than
themselves. Great. Thank you. Just to mention a few that we know personally:
Kira Kay spends time in Nepal establishing and supporting schools,
orphanages, and developing micro financing. Trudie Styler and Sting raise
large amounts of money for many humanitarian projects and Trudie visits the
situations in Ecuador and the rain forests with hands-on help seeing that
the money gets spent on the intended projects and not 'diverted.' Clare
Finiator is hands-on in South America, Mia running the media store for
distributing Paul's sharing's. Clare Solway is devoted to her sharing's. And
some others of course. But most people live their lives for themselves.
Of course it can include their family, but very rarely anything beyond that.
And does it really matter? A beautiful person wrote recently that although
they knows on one level that everything is always perfect, they sob when
they sees the suffering -- especially the children.
If we believe just the theory of the mind then there is good and evil, right
and wrong, benefit and harm, yet the ones who have become what we term
'enlightened' say this is not so -- this is a very limited perspective and
there is something beyond the mind and its restrictions.
Maybe everything is for the best. Maybe we are creating everything that is
happening to give us an opportunity to see ourselves and the other side of
reality more clearly -- and let go of our projected judging.
Oh there is so, so much more to this dimension than we are consciously
As I see it, everything that is happening, at anytime, anywhere, is an
opportunity to expand our consciousness.
Happy expanding...

The previously-leaked plan is now officially up for consideration: Mayor "Demolition Dick" Daley and his gang of Meigs-dozers in Chicago may have, with the help of the airlines, actually put together a viable plan for one of Chicago's surviving airports.
The O'Hare plan, unveiled at a City Council meeting yesterday, does indeed commit nearly $3 billion to get started on the big airport's $6.6 billion overall plan.
The initial money would be used, according to Crain's Chicago Business, "for engineering, design, land acquisition and construction of one new runway, relocation of another and extensive work on a third."
Daley said to believers, "The airlines and the city recognize that the O'Hare Modernization Program is necessary for the long-term survival of the airlines and the economic vitality of the Chicago area, and it answers critics who have said the program was too expensive and could not be funded."
Speaking of funding, AMR and UAL, troubled giants, have stepped forward and said they'd gladly collect nearly a bunch of the money, from their passengers. Chicago has friends in DC who have pledged to send about 1/8 of what's needed, after they collect it from the rest of us. The City will put its bond rating on the line, to float the last 2/3 or so.
Construction could start in 18 months or so.

One of the most challenging aspects of registering for classes is finding classes that simultaneously fulfill a pathway and ideally a major, minor, or core credit. Many of us have a hard enough time trying to schedule the classes we need to take to graduate on time, and having to figure out when to take as many as four extra classes is a hassle at best. According to the university website, "Pathways, clusters of courses with a common theme, promote integrative and intentional learning." However, given the amount of money the vast majority of us are paying to go here,...

Woo hoo!!! On Monday, I received my completed Once 'Round the Country round robin top from Kris. She wasn't able to post pictures, so I didn't know how it would look until I opened the box. Very exciting!!!
So cool!!! I absolutely love the way she echoed elements from previous rounds and really finished it off. This top just looks so modern and fresh to me.
Now I just need a quilting plan. I've got a few ideas floating around in my head, but they'll have to wait until the new year. I really think that quilting has the potential to really bring this design to life. I'm looking forward to the challenge!
Many, many thanks to all of the amazing women who worked on this quilt (and who trusted me to work on theirs!): Zonnah, Adrienne, Anne, and Kris. This round robin has been an amazing experience. You all inspire me.

On 5 July 2012, the Takeover Panel launched three consultations on proposed changes to the Takeover Code. These relate to: the types of company subject to the Takeover Code; profit forecasts and estimates, quantified financial benefits statements and material changes in information; and pension scheme trustee issues. The key changes proposed are considered in further detail below. The consultation period closes on 28 September 2012.
Back to top
Under the revised rules, all companies incorporated in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man (the 'Code Jurisdictions') would be subject to the Takeover Code provided they were either (a) public companies or (b) private companies that, broadly speaking, had been publicly traded in some manner in the previous 10 years.1
Under the current rules, a company incorporated in a Code Jurisdiction will only be subject to the Takeover Code if it meets the test set out in the previous paragraph and it is either (a) admitted to trading on a regulated market in the UK (for example, the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange) or a stock exchange in the Channel Islands or Isle of Man or (b) centrally managed and controlled in a Code Jurisdiction (what is termed the 'residency test'). The Panel determine whether the residency test has been met.1
This means, for example, that an AIM traded company incorporated in Jersey will only currently be subject to the Takeover Code if it is centrally managed and controlled in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. Under the proposed new rules, on the other hand, such a company would be subject to the provisions of the Takeover Code automatically regardless of where it was centrally managed and controlled.
The Panel notes that it is aware of concerns that offers for certain other companies whose securities are admitted to trading in the UK will not be subject to the Takeover Code as a result of those companies having re-domiciled overseas (outside the Code Jurisdictions). It does not seek to address these concerns in the current consultation but notes that it intends to investigate whether it might be feasible and proportionate for some measure of Takeover Code protection to be extended to shareholders in such companies.
The current position can be problematic in relation to companies that are incorporated in a Code Jurisdiction but are not admitted to trading on a regulated market in the UK and are therefore subject to the central management and control test. This can be a particular issue in relation to AIM traded companies, as AIM is not a regulated market for these purposes.
The main reason the current residency test may be considered unsatisfactory is that it can give rise to a lack of certainty as to whether the Takeover Code applies to such companies. This is primarily because the key factor the Panel will look at when determining the place of central management and control is the composition and residency of the company's board. As a result, changes to board composition can alter the company's Takeover Code status (in that it can, technically, slip in and out of being a Takeover Code company) and it can also be difficult for third parties, such as shareholders or potential bidders, to determine whether or not the Takeover Code applies. This can be an important issue if a bidder is considering an approach to a target or whether or not to acquire target shares ahead of such an approach as there would be important issues to consider were the Takeover Code to apply. Shareholders may also be unfamiliar with the way in which the rules work and may wrongly assume that they are protected by the Takeover Code simply because the company is incorporated in a Code Jurisdiction and is publicly traded in the UK.
There may be some concern that it would be harder for the Panel to monitor the activities of companies where there is an insufficient nexus with the Code Jurisdictions (for example because all or a majority of the directors are resident overseas) and/or that the threat of sanctions from the Panel may not act as a sufficient deterrent to non-compliance with the Takeover Code in such circumstances. However, the Panel notes that since 2006 it has had the ability to use statutory powers to enforce its rulings (although it has not had to use these to date) and, historically, it has not encountered any significant problems enforcing the Takeover Code in relation to Main Market companies that are centrally managed and controlled overseas. On this basis, it does not believe that the risks identified should deter it from making the proposed changes.
1. Note that specific shared jurisdiction provisions apply under the Takeover Code where EEA incorporated companies are admitted to trading on a regulated market in the UK or UK incorporated companies are admitted to trading on regulated markets elsewhere in the EEA - these are not discussed in this briefing, as the Panel does not propose to amend these provisions.
A number of changes are proposed in relation to Rule 28 of the Takeover Code, which deals with profit forecasts, including amendments intended to achieve greater consistency with other applicable rules and regulations. For example, new definitions of 'profit forecast' and 'profit estimate' are proposed which are more consistent with the equivalent definitions in the Listing Rules and the PD Regulation.2
In addition, a number of more substantive changes are proposed regarding the circumstances in which profit forecasts must be reported on by financial advisers and accountants. Under the current rules, any profit forecasts made by a target company or a bidder (other than a cash bidder) during the offer period must be reported on by its financial advisers and accountants. In addition, any such profit forecasts made before the offer period but which remain 'live' must be repeated in the offer document or response document and reported on in the same way.
Under the proposed new rules, a forecast published before an approach was made would no longer need to be reported on, even if it were still 'live' (although the Panel could still require profit forecasts made by a bidder to be repeated and reported on if made prior to an approach but following the first active consideration of a possible offer). However, as such a forecast is likely to be a statement on which reliance will be placed in relation to the offer, the offer or response document (as the case may be) would still need to: (i) repeat the profit forecast (together with, amongst other things, confirmation from the directors that it remained valid and that the basis of accounting was consistent with the company's accounting policies and an explanation of the assumptions on which it was based); (ii) include a statement explaining why it was no longer valid; or (iii) include a new profit forecast for the relevant period (which would be subject to the reporting requirements of revised Rule 28 in the same way as any other profit forecast published during the offer period).
These changes are intended to address a concern that, against a regulatory background of encouragement for greater transparency and forward looking statements by companies, the perceived difficulties of obtaining reports on pre-offer period profit forecasts may be deterring companies from giving forward looking guidance on expected profits, even where there is no reason to believe an offer is in contemplation. In this context, the Panel notes that such forward looking guidance may be useful to shareholders and other market participants and that it is commonly provided in various overseas jurisdictions. The Panel also notes that a profit forecast published before an approach is highly unlikely to have been influenced by the possibility of a future offer and therefore that the revised rules would represent a more proportionate approach as well as being more consistent with the requirements of the Listing Rules in relation to profit forecasts published prior to publication of a Class 1 circular.
Under the proposed new rules, the Panel would explicitly have the ability to grant a dispensation from the requirements of Rule 28 in relation to:
In both cases, details of the assumptions on which the forecast is based would still need to be included in the relevant document together with confirmation from the directors that the basis of accounting was consistent with the company's accounting policies.
Yes. Where a profit forecast for a future financial year is published for the first time during an offer period (or where such a forecast has been published prior to the commencement of an offer period but following an approach with regard to a possible offer or is otherwise required to be repeated and confirmed in the offer or response document), a new provision is proposed requiring publication of corresponding profit forecasts for the current financial year and any intervening financial years. Such profit forecasts would need to be reported on unless they were made prior to an approach having been made with regard to a possible offer or the Panel was otherwise prepared to grant a dispensation on one of the bases referred to above or below.
The Panel believes that a profit forecast for a financial year beyond the current financial year will necessarily be based upon profit forecasts for the current and any intervening financial years, and that if such forecasts were not also required to be published this could result in companies taking advantage of the proposed relaxation referred to above for forecasts extending for more than 15 months and using forecasts for a future financial year to enable shareholders and market participants to interpolate a profit forecast for the current financial year.
Are there any other dispensations that may apply to the requirements of Rule 28 under the proposed new rules?
Yes. These relate to profit ceilings and to profit forecasts made by securities bidders where the number of shares to be issued is not material:
Yes. Under the proposed new rules, profit forecasts made by the target company or the bidder in relation to management buy-outs or similar transactions, or where the offer is being made by the existing controller or controlling group, would not (except with the Panel's consent) benefit from the proposed relaxations on profit forecast reporting requirements. In such circumstances, all profit forecasts made during the offer period (or prior to the offer period but which remain 'live') would still need to be reported on.
This is intended to address concerns that, in such situations, there is percieved to be a greater risk that the directors of the target company may seek to influence the outcome of the offer by the use of a profit forecast (including a profit ceiling). The Panel believes that if reports on profit forecasts of this nature were not required, shareholders would not be afforded sufficient protection.
Yes. It is proposed that the rules be amended so that Rule 28 would apply in these circumstances, although the Panel will have express ability to grant a derogation in appropriate circumstances (for example, where it does not consider the part of the business concerned to be material).
This depends on whether the profit forecasts relate to the future profits of the party repeating or referring to them or to the future profits of another party to the offer:
2. Commission Regulation EC 809/2004 implementing the Prospectus Directive
Under the current rules, certain unaudited profit figures are not subject to the reporting requirements of Rule 28. Broadly speaking, the figures that fall within this exemption are:
Under the proposed new rules, an exemption will continue to apply in relation to preliminary statements of annual results which comply with the relevant provisions of the UKLA Rules.
The other exemptions will be widened to refer to half yearly financial reports which comply with the relevant requirements of the UKLA Rules, the AIM Rules for Companies or the PLUS Rules for Issuers and to interim financial information which has been published in accordance with a regulatory requirement and prepared in accordance with IAS 34. These exemptions will apply regardless of whether the offer is recommended or hostile.
These proposed changes will level the playing field for AIM and PLUS traded companies who cannot automatically take advantage of the current exemptions. It should be noted, however, that the exemption in relation to preliminary statements of annual results will only apply to AIM or PLUS traded companies where such statements would comply with the relevant requirements of the UKLA Rules. This is because of an absence of specific provisions in the AIM Rules for Companies and PLUS Rules for Issuers in relation to the contents of such statements.
3. Primarily the Listing Rules, the Disclosure and Transparency Rules and the Prospectus Rules
The current Takeover Code refers to 'merger benefits statements' which are essentially quantified statements made by a party to the offer about the expected financial benefits of a proposed takeover or merger. The proposed changes would reclassify these as 'quantified financial benefits statements', with the new definition also extending to cover statements by a target company, as part of its defence strategy, quantifying any financial benefits expected to arise from cost saving measures (or an alternative transaction) that it would propose to implement if the offer is unsuccessful.
It is proposed that quantified benefits statements made during an offer period would need to be reported on in exactly the same manner as profit forecasts. This would involve a slight change to the current position (where merger benefit statements must be accompanied by reports from financial advisers and accountants confirming that they have been made with due care and consideration) to clarify that the accountants would be required to report on the compilation of the information on the basis stated and the financial advisers would be required to report on the quality of the process of preparation.
Additional, more detailed, requirements would also apply under the proposed new rules in relation to inclusion of supporting details and analysis.
Yes. As is currently the case, reports would not be required in relation to quantified benefits statements made by a cash bidder. However the Panel intends to remove the current exemption in relation to statements made by paper bidders and target companies in the context of a recommended offer. The Panel notes that, where a target company has made a statement in relation to, for example, costs savings measures it intends to put in place in the future and that statement has been made with no knowledge that an offer might be imminent, the Panel would not normally require such a statement to be reported on. The proposed amendments make it clear, however, that the Panel should be consulted before any such statement is made following an approach having been received but before the offer period commences.
Under Rule 27 of the Takeover Code, documents published subsequent to publication of an offer or response document must contain details of any material changes to information previously published by or on behalf of the relevant party during the offer period (or an appropriate negative statement) and must also update various disclosures made in the offer or response document including in relation to interests and dealings, material contracts, directors' emoluments and no significant change.
The Panel's view is that it is illogical only to require parties to the offer to disclose material changes where they publish a subsequent document but not otherwise. The proposed new rules would therefore require prompt disclosure of any material changes during the offer period to information previously published in connection with the offer. Any such disclosure would need to be made by way of an announcement, and the Panel would also have the ability to require a further document to be published.
The requirement to update certain disclosures where a subsequent document is published would continue to apply, but it is proposed this would be expanded to include additional areas such as the substance of the independent adviser's advice (in the case of documents published by the target) and intentions regarding the future business of the target company and other matters referred to in Rule 24.2 (in the case of documents published by the bidder).
In addition, clarifications are proposed in relation to the updating requirements regarding profit forecasts, quantified financial benefits statements and asset valuations. Under the proposed new rules, subsequent documents would not only need to include confirmation that such statements remained valid but also confirmation by the accountants, financial advisers or independent valuers (as applicable) that any reports or opinions on such statements continued to apply.
The proposed new rules would also require announcements to be made when updated or new documents were put on display by a bidder or target - currently the requirement is only to include a statement to this effect on the relevant website.
The new requirements proposed in relation to target pension schemes fall into five broad categories:
In broad terms, the market is unlikely to find these proposed changes particularly surprising or find that they give rise to significant issues in the context of takeover bids.
The abolition of the residency test for AIM companies and extending the jurisdiction of the Takeover Code is likely to be welcomed. For some time, market participants have found the inability to identify whether a company is or is not subject to the Takeover Code unsatisfactory and the application of the residency test produces somewhat arbitrary results, particularly where companies in question have had little or no connection with the Code Jurisdictions.
The relaxation of the rules on profit forecasts have been a long time coming, with the delay in implementing the proposed amendments consulted on in 2010. The Panel's proposed approach in relaxing the rules in connection with ordinary course forecasts seems proportionate. In addition, for overseas paper bidders who are more used to giving forward looking guidance in their home jurisdictions, having more flexibility in this respect will be helpful.
The changes relating to pensions were again anticipated, the Panel indicating at the time of the recent reforms in September 2011 that pensions issues would be on its agenda. The proposed measures seem sensible, although bidders might be concerned about the impact on the diligence exercise to be conducted to the extent they will now need to make statements in connection with pensions issues.

Should I Stick With a Doctor Who Has a Settlement on His Record?
I have been researching a doctor to do a breast augmentation. I went to the medical board website for my state and the doctor I have in mind has a $950,000 settlement on his record for a wound infection in '97. I also came across a strong review where this person claims the doctor performed an operation that caused disfigurement from gangrene. This patient has even put up a website warning people about the doctor as well as documenting her experience. Do I run the other direction or ignore?

Local kids have cleaner, greener ride to school
Trips on Morgan County school buses are a little healthier these days – due to a dose of soy and corn.
As of the start of the school year, Morgan County has become one of 25 West Virginia counties to put biodiesel fuel into their buses' gas tanks instead of regular diesel.
Morgan County is using a 5% blend of biodiesel, which means 95% of the fuel is traditional diesel and the remaining part comes from soybeans, corn and other plant products from which oil can be extracted.
Chief mechanic Darren Younker said the county is starting with the 5% blend to see how it works. Higher percentages of plant oil can sometimes raise the chances that the fuel gels in the winter, Younker said.
The biodiesel for buses comes from AC&T in Hagerstown. Transportation Director John Gue said the school system gets deliveries of 7,000 gallons at a time. The county's fleet of 31 buses uses an average of 1,100 gallons of fuel each week, according to Gue.
While biodiesel is more expensive than regular diesel, running at somewhere around $3.85 per gallon, the school system won't foot a larger bill for burning cleaner fuel.
Instead, the state school system's reimbursement for fuel will compensate, said Gue. The state will cover 95% of fuel costs if a county uses biodiesel, while those sticking with traditional fuels will only get an 85% reimbursement.
A press release from the West Virginia Department of Energy says 25 counties use biodiesel in 1,795 of their buses, most of them opting for the 5% blend.
Because biodiesel is made from plant materials and burns cleaner than petroleum-based fuels, even using a small portion of biodiesel in a vehicle fleet can reduce the number of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide emission into the air.
Production of biofuels also creates fewer carbon dioxide emissions. For some, the big selling point for the decades-old fuel is that it can be produced here in America from crops grown by American farmers.
Other green moves
Other fuel-saving and environmental measures are hitting the road with Morgan County buses this year.
Schools have posted No Idle Zones where buses and cars normally pull up to drop off or pick up students.
The idea behind the zone is for drivers to turn their vehicles off if they expect to be waiting more than a few minutes. Not only does that step save gas, it keeps the air around the schools and students much cleaner, said Gue. School buses will adhere to the same rules, he said.
Bus drivers are also being asked to drive five miles below the speed limit to maximize their fuel efficiency and general safety.
The future of responsible school transportation goes far beyond the use of biofuels, Gue acknowledged.
He and Younker got a look at a gas/electric hybrid school bus at a recent transportation conference. The vehicle costs $550,000, while a traditional bus has a price tag of $80,000, so the two don't anticipate seeing one in Morgan County anytime soon.
But small changes like adding biofuels to the bus fleet and shutting off waiting buses are money-saving steps with a big pay-off – cleaner air for everyone.

Clanking tin-pot robots go back in the cinema at least as far as the '30s, and they've been befriending little boys ever since the '50s, in movies like Tobor the Great, The Invisible Boy and The Colossus of New York. It's a classic daydream of American boyhood on an episode of the TV sci-fi comedy Futurama, a robot asks the hero whether he'd want a robot for a friend, and the hero says he has wanted one since he was about 7 years old.
Robots have also been developing their own feelings and desires quite literally for as long as the term "robot" has existed. (The word, which derives from the Czech robota, or "forced labor," was coined by dramatist Karel Capek for his 1921 play R.U.R., a story of a futuristic class of artificial workers seeking the right to self-determination.) In The Iron Giant, the title character realizes he was intended as a fighting machine "a gun" in his vocabulary and through Hogarth's humanizing influence he decides that he doesn't want to be a gun. Bird and McCanlies have adapted the material in the best sense; they use the American idea that you can choose to be whatever you want as the moral of the story.
Stanley Kubrick, much on everyone's mind these days, gave a computer an independent humanity in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the machine promptly turned into a murderer. Bird's Giant might be called the anti-HAL. Reputedly, the project with which Kubrick hoped to follow Eyes Wide Shut was called A.I. short for "artificial intelligence" and was about the relationship between a robot and a boy. It's pleasant to speculate that, just maybe, Kubrick's pessimism might have lifted over the years, and that this unrealized movie might have had some of the same spirit as The Iron Giant.

Just stopping by and saying Hi!
Hi Tammy! This board has been pretty quiet lately. Where is everybody?
Hi, Tammy! I really enjoyed your post with the little bear coming up out of the teacup. We live in MO, not too far from the Kansas line.
Welcome to the RF board. There isn't as much 'foot traffic' on this board as there is on some of the others, but that's okay with me, 'cause I kinda like it nice and quiet. :)
Hey Tammy, we're close to Lincoln, Nebraska so we're really not that far from you, either.
Lynn, we lived in St. Joseph, MO for the summer a couple of years ago. We were only about an hour away from KC. People were so friendly there!!!! When I was out walking my dog, people driving by would stop to say hello and small talk. I have NEVER lived in such a friendly town. It was like culture shock and took awhile to get used to.
Yes, Tammy, we're not too far from Olathe. In fact, we go to Whole Foods in Overland Park a few times a year. That entire area over there has lots of good stores that aren't readily found anywhere else.
Hi, Kristine. Glad you had such a nice experience during your time in St. Joseph. Missouri is our home for several generations back, so of course, we like living here.
A few years ago, we went to Indian Hills Church in Lincoln to hear Pastor Gil Rugh. His teaching is so solid, and we've ordered some CD sermons of his. While we were in town, we went to the farmer's market on Saturday. Lincoln seems like a nice community, but if anyone moves there, I bet they've really gotta like football.
Revelation 22:17a The Spirit and Bride are now saying, "Come!" The ones who hear are now saying, "Come!" The ones who thirst are now saying, "Come!"
Come LORD Jesus !
