Patients treated with tocilizumab are at increased risk for infections, some progressing to serious infections leading to hospitalization or death. These infections have included bacterial infection, tuberculosis, invasive fungal, or other opportunistic infections. Evaluate for latent tuberculosis and treat if necessary prior to initiation of therapy. Monitor patients receiving tocilizumab for signs and symptoms of infection, including tuberculosis, even if initial latent tuberculosis test is negative .
Immunological Agent
Monoclonal Antibody
Tocilizumab injection is a monoclonal antibody. It is used alone or together with other medicines to reduce the signs and symptoms of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Tocilizumab helps keep joint damage from getting worse after other medicines (eg, adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab) have been used and did not work well.
Tocilizumab injection is also used to treat polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (PJIA) and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) in children 2 years of age and older.
This medicine is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of tocilizumab injection in children with PJIA and SJIA. However, safety and efficacy have not been established in children younger than 2 years of age.
Older adults
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of tocilizumab injection in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have serious infections, which may require caution in patients receiving tocilizumab injection.
|Pregnancy Category
|All Trimesters
|Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Other medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are receiving this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Other interactions
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other medical problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins. This medicine must be given slowly, so the needle will remain in place for at least 1 hour.
This medicine should come with a Medication Guide. It is very important that you read and understand this information. Be sure to ask your doctor about anything you do not understand.
It is very important that your doctor check your or your child's progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
You will need to have a skin test for tuberculosis before you or your child start using this medicine. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your home has ever had a positive reaction to a tuberculosis skin test.
This medicine may increase your risk of developing infections. Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections while you or your child are using this medicine. Wash your hands often. Tell your doctor if you have any kind of infection before you start using this medicine. Also tell your doctor if you have ever had an infection that would not go away or an infection that kept coming back.
Using this medicine may increase your risk of having certain cancers. Talk to your doctor if you or your child have concerns about this risk.
Call your doctor right away if you or your child start to have a cough that won't go away, weight loss, night sweats, fever, chills, or flu-like symptoms, such as a runny or stuffy nose, headache, blurred vision, or feeling generally ill. These may be signs that you have an infection.
Tocilizumab may cause headaches and skin reactions, such as a rash or itching, while you are receiving the injection or within 24 hours after you receive it. Check with your doctor or nurse right away if you or your child have any of these symptoms.
This medicine may cause serious types of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.

While you or your child are being treated with tocilizumab, and after you stop treatment, do not have any immunizations (vaccines) without your doctor's approval. Tocilizumab may lower your body's resistance, and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not get live vaccines (eg, nasal flu virus vaccine). Try to avoid being around persons who have received live vaccines. Do not get close to them and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you or your child cannot take these precautions, you should wear a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about this.
Your child's vaccines need to be current before he or she begins using tocilizumab injection. Be sure to ask your child's doctor if you have any questions about this.
This medicine may increase the level of cholesterol and fats in your blood. If this condition occurs, your doctor may give you a medicine to lower the cholesterol and fats. Talk to your doctor if you or your child have concerns.

As expected, the Democrats have pounced on the Palin choice as a gimmick that is both patronizing to women and directly undermines McCain's promise to pick a VP on the basis of their ability to serve as president. Moreover, it weakens the Republican line of attack that Obama is short on experience. In short, it is a clear signal that McCain – like Mondale in 1984 with his choice of Geraldine Ferrarro – knows his candidacy is in trouble and has resorted to desperate measures.
Despite this obvious and expected line of attack, however, on the whole it appears that the choice of Palin as his vice presidential nominee has had the effect for which McCain hoped; he rolled the dice and – so far – it has come up big. Let me cite three bits of circumstantial evidence in support of this claim:
First, on the night of the announcement, I perused the network news to see how they were covering the story. On CBS, they were doing a comparison of Obama's experience to Palin's! Note this – it wasn't a comparison of Biden's experience with Palin's – it was Obama's and Palin's! This is precisely what McCain and Republican strategists want to see – a debate on experience that continually reminds voters to consider Obama's lack thereof.
Second, the pick has apparently bolstered McCain's once tepid support among the Christian right. Here's the NYT coverage of James Dobson's reaction the Palin nomination, (Dobson is frequently described as an accurate barometer of the evangelicals' political views):
"James C. Dobson, the influential conservative Christian leader who said in the primaries that he could never vote for Mr. McCain, said the selection of Ms. Palin had won him over. If he went into the voting booth today, Mr. Dobson told the talk radio host Dennis Prager on Friday, 'I would pull that lever.'" (And note the headline to that article: Campaigns Shift as McCain Choice Alters the Race) Again, this is precisely what McCain hoped to do – protect himself from attacks from his own right flank that he is not conservative enough. Palin now becomes his conduit to the Christian right – McCain has inoculated himself against charges that he is too moderate without having to repudiate any of his own issues.
Third – how many of you are going to watch the Republican convention now? I thought so – in choosing Palin, for better or for worse, McCain has temporarily captured the headlines and guaranteed a larger audience for the Republican convention. This provides him with the opportunity to reach out to the disaffected Clinton supporters and potential swing voters.
Keep in mind that none of this would have happened had Obama put Clinton on the ticket; in so doing, he would have essentially closed this option for McCain. But also keep in mind that Palin has not yet been thoroughly vetted by the media, and she may still yet stumble on her inaugural tour of the nation. For this reason, her unveiling at the convention looms large.

More Info...
A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.
Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.
Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.
Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...
Little blue wildflowers are growing all over the bank at my neighbor's house. (The cardinal is, of course, a ceramic tribute to the real thing.) I have to go back up there this evening, so I plan to take the wildflower book so I can try to identify these.
I plucked one of the little flowering stems and brought it home to research. Its photo appears at left. A film cannister is serving as its vase.
I think I have an identification after much looking in the books. I believe it's bugleweed, aka bugle or ajuga or ajuga replens. It's not in my Kentucky wildflowers book at all, but it does appear in the Peterson Field Guide to Wildflowers. I'm sure it was omitted from the Kentucky book because it's really not a wildflower at all. It is an alien species (imported plant) from Europe.
Here are some very nice closeups that show the odd little flower. Its lower lip seems to stick out, and it has almost no upper lip at all. Its stamens protrude a little from the flower. It has a square stem because it is a member of the mint family. Cultivars are used as ground covers.
My heading for this post, "Blue Wildflowers," is completely wrong, but I won't change it because I've learned that messes up Blogger searches.

|Use of poppers use and atripla
Oct 25, 2011
Hello doctors,
I have been on Atripla for the past 2 years with an undetectable viral load. My CD4 absolute count ranges between 500-600, 28-29%. I try to live a healthy life style, don't forget to take my medications, exercise, etc. Besides that, I have been using poppers occasionally and I have been reading contradictory reports as to whether they are dangerous for HIV positive people. Do you think stopping poppers usage for good would increase my CD4 absolute count and percentage? Should I really be worried about possible cancer or immune suppression risk due to my poppers addiction for the past several years? Also, from time to time I do feel quite weak (lasting for several days each month). Would this be a possible indication of poppers-induced anemia? (though my blood tests do not show any abnormalities).
Thanks a lot for your input.
Response from Dr. Fawcett
Thanks for writing. I'll repost some of my earlier replies concerning the use of poppers and Atripla.
There are several concerns regarding the use of poppers. There is no consensus on the risk of poppers for HIV-positive persons. The most recent major study, the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) published in a peer-reviewed journal in 2008, found no "clinically meaningful associations between use of [several other drugs and] poppers and CD4 and CD8 T cell counts, percentages, or rates of change in either HIV-uninfected or -infected men." This contradicted earlier research indicating such an association as well as numerous anecdotal accounts. Even if one sets aside concerns about CD4 counts, however, poppers have other risks, notably a fall in blood pressure, increased heart rate, and weakness or dizziness. Using poppers with erectile dysfunction drugs can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure resulting in fainting or even heart attacks and stroke. You should also be aware that poppers don't mix with protease inhibitors (although Atripla doesn't contain a PI) because of interference with liver enzymes, creating the potential for increased blood levels of Viagra (or other similar drugs).
Please use appropriate cautions.

As part of our ongoing series of Healthcare Scene interviews (see all our past Healthcare Scene interviews on YouTube), we're excited to announce our next interview with an amazing panel of Direct Project experts, Julie Maas, Greg Meyer, and Mark Hefner happening Wednesday, December 9th at 3 PM ET (Noon PT).
As you can imagine, we'll be digging into everything Direct Project (See CMS' description of Direct Project for those not famliar with it). I'm excited to learn about ways Direct Project is starting to impact healthcare, but also to learn about the challenges it still faces and how they can be overcome. We'll probably even dip into where Direct Project fits in with other projects like FHIR and EHR APIs getting all the attention.
Here are a few more details about our panelists:
- Julie Maas, Founder and CEO of EMR Direct
- Greg Meyer, Distinguished Engineer at Cerner
- Mark Hefner, CEO of Infina Connect

I recd wonderful supportive advise four weeks ago on how to encourage baby to breast after refusing following traumatic head injury at birth. I've been EPing for the past 10 weeks and finally had success getting baby to bf in last 48 hours
I've been only bf in this time but he isn't having a great wet/dirty diaper count and that worries me. He used to have heavy wet diapers every 3-4hr feed and two large dirty ones a day. Now he's only had one large dirty diaper in 24 hrs and moderately wet every 5 hours
I'm not sure if I should still supplement bmilk as well as nursing. I really didn't want to but maybe I should. He was taking 5 oz bm from the bottle. I've pumped a few times and seem to have good supply and he's got a good latch and is swallowing.
He's feeding every 4 hours and starts strong for about 20 mins then gets sleepy and I fight another 20-40 mins with him.
Pls any advise would be appreciated. After working so incredibly hard to bf I want to be successful but not sure how to transition from EPing to exclusively BF
Pls help ASAP. thank you!!!!

Tom Price, inventor of the harness, says, "The military has known for a long time that the sitting position is one of the most stable for precision shooting, but it isn't always consistently comfortable or stable. The Steady Aim Harness is as comfortable to wear as a fanny pack and nearly as stable to shoot from as a benchrest."
The Steady Aim Harness is assembled from ballistic nylon straps and engineering grade plastic adjusters and quick release buckles that are fully adjustable to fit a wide range of sizes. An optional waterproof seat cushion, which is part of the Steady Aim Harness system, is available to increase comfort for extended sitting. The Steady Aim Harness and small cushion together weigh just two pounds.
This picture shows your humble correspondent wearing the Steady Aim Harness. The knee loops dangle in front of my thighs.
To get ready to shoot, sit down and drop the knee loops over your knees. It's as comfortable as sitting in an easy chair. Here I am shooting the Diana LP8 two-handed with my elbows resting on my knees.
This shows me shooting a rifle-scoped pistol Crosman 2300S silhouette air pistol rested in the crook of my arm. The Steady Aim Harness is also useful when you need to do long-term observation of a game area from a seated position.
A number of field target shooters that I know use the Steady Aim Harness to help them shoot their rifles in competition more accurately. My brother-in-law and I both use Steady Aim Harnesses in competition whenever the rules allow. Above is a picture of me shooting an FX Typhoon in field target competition using the Steady Aim Harness.
Til next time, aim true and shoot straight.

I've got a leaking bladder valve I want to replace but the SOB won't come off. I've soaked for 1/2 hour in hot water but it still wont budge. It's a wainman strut bladder. Any helpful ideas?
Re: !$! leaking valve won't come off
Hmmm, why not just cut around its base to remove the whole valve and use an Airtime Valve trap valve set-up as a replacement: http://www.airtimekite.com/index.php/repair-items/valve-trap.html

Re: !$! leaking valve won't come off
I just cut around my last valve.
+1 on aiding with AquaSeal. Its hard to work with. I let some drip inside my bladder but that's alright.. After you open the tube, put it in your freezer. Its the only way to get shelf life out of an opened tube.
Re: !$! leaking valve won't come off
Thanks. Cut the valve out is the way to go. I have to try the valve traps. Benicia launch is not sketch...only sometimes. Fun day today though.

There comes a time in life when we wonder where we are going, what we are doing and if there isn't something more to life. That time hit in my 30's. Working at an online marketing agency and putting in 14 hour days 6 days a week at times was starting to wear on me. I'd wake up, rush into the office to stare at a computer screen, come home to stare at it some more, go through some robotic exercises on the machines at the local gym and try to fit some sleep in there somewhere. It was a �comfortable� life, as in all the bills were paid, there was a ski trip or two out west each year and there were some cool toys to play with but never time to actually play with them. Even if there was time to sleep, it was often elusive because there...

It doesn't bother me at all because I always assume the the human on the other end of the leash is an idiot until they prove they have some dog common sense.
I actually prefer it because it means that some obnoxious little 10lb. ball of fluff that thinks it's a Great Pyrenees isn't going to charge up into Birdie's face an nip her on the flews.
Yes, that has happened.
No, she didn't bite or growl at the other dog.
But I sure as hell made THAT dog owner know of my extreme displeasure and he slunk out of the playground with 10 kids under 5 giving him dirty looks & saying how BAD that little white dog was. So much for his bright idea of using his dog as bait to hit on the Moms.
When passing other dogs, I tend to gauge the other dog from a distance and either put Birdie on the other side of me or have her sit if I think there might be a problem.

We certainly have a smorgasbord of purebred dogs. The American Kennel Club (AKC) now recognizes 177 breeds. Most were developed outside the US. Only about 15 AKC breeds, such as the Boston Terrier and Chesapeake Bay Retriever were "made in America," while one, the American Foxhound, has deep patriotic roots.
George Washington, the father of our country, is also the father of the American Foxhound. The first mention of hounds in America appears in the diary of one of the men of the explorer DeSoto. His journal also says that the hounds were used for hunting Indians rather than fox, raccoon or rabbit. Additional hunting hounds sailed from Britain to the colonies as far back as 1650. These became the foundation for several strains including Black and Tan Coonhounds. Washington was a huge fox hunting enthusiast who tried to fine tune his pack of hounds to work the rough American terrain. According to his diaries at the Library of Congress (which you can view online), Washington wanted to breed a "superior dog, one that had speed, sense and brains."
With his background as a farmer, Washington knew the basics of animal breeding and husbandry. It became his hobby and passion to build a better pack of hunting hounds. His diaries are filled with accounts of breeding his distinct variety of Foxhound that he referred to as "Virginia hounds." His devotion to his dogs can be detected in the names he gave them like "True Love" and "Sweet Lips" plus silly names like "Tipster" and "Drunkard." At least 30 Foxhounds are named in Washington's writings.
At the close of the war when he returned to Mount Vernon, Washington decided his Virginia hounds were too lightly built for sustained hunts and too distracted from the trail of the fox. When he heard his Revolutionary War friend, the Marquis de Lafayette, praise French staghounds belonging to the King, he asked the Marquis to get him some.
[Local Long Island link: Some historians say that La Grange, whose fate is now in jeopardy, built by the Higbie family around 1750, was named for Lafayette's home in France. In 1824, the Marquis visited the West Islip inn when invited by President Madison to tour the US. There is no proof that Washington himself stopped at La Grange, yet in 1790, he did stay at Sagtikos Manor down the road a bit in Bay Shore.]
Now back to our regularly scheduled Foxhounds. Lafayette took some time to locate these hounds because the breed had fallen out of favor with French royalty. Finally he sent seven massive staghounds overseas, escorted by the young John Quincy Adams whose dad was then minister to England. John Quincy abandoned the dogs in a warehouse near NYC harbor. [One more aside: Lafayette named his only son "George Washington." That seems like a wiser choice than "John Q. Adams."]
Washington was upset. According to Stanley Coren in his book, The Pawprints of History, Washington wrote: "It would have been civil of the young gentleman to have penned me at least a note." He was worried because there was a rabies scare in NYC at the time so unattended dogs were being shot on sight. Wonder if he ever truly forgave the young Adams. [Another local link: I sat next to Dr. Coren at the Dog Writers award dinner in NYC a few years ago. He is the psychologist, well- known for ranking the IQs of breeds of dogs. Border Collies were at the top of the list; and my breed, Afghan Hounds, were at the bottom. We had a lot to talk about.]
Eventually the French hounds, known as "Grand Bleu de Gascogne" were found and then shipped overland to Mount Vernon. The French hounds turned out to be so food aggressive that a huntsman had to be employed to supervise their mealtimes so they wouldn't tear each other to shreds during dinner.
A popular story was told by Washington's step-grandson about Vulcan, one of the French hounds:
"It happened that upon a large company sitting down to dinner at Mount Vernon one day, the lady of the mansion (my grandmother) discovered that the ham, the pride of every Virginia housewife's table, was missing from its accustomed post of honor. Upon questioning Frank, the butler, this portly, and at the same time the most polite and accomplished of all butlers, observed that a ham, yes, a very fine ham, had been prepared, agreeably to the Madam's orders, but lo and behold, who should come into the kitchen, while the savory ham was smoking in its dish, but old Vulcan, the hound. And without more ado, he fastened his fangs into it. Although they of the kitchen had stood to such arms as they could get, and had fought the old spoiler desperately, Vulcan had finally triumphed, and bore off the prize. The lady by no means relished the loss of a dish which formed the pride of her table, and uttered some remarks by no means favorable to old Vulcan, or indeed to dogs in general, while the chief [Washington], having heard the story, communicated it to his guests, and, with them, laughed heartily at the exploit of the stag-hound." Martha had good reason to be quite miffed.
With selective breeding, Washington was successful in bringing out desired traits, developing the earliest American Foxhounds which retained the speed and stamina of the French staghounds, in a smaller frame, but still slightly larger than his Virginia black and tan hounds. There is a common belief that Lafayette also gave Washington a French Basset Hound, which would be the first one in America, but there is no historical proof to verify this claim.

CalARVC Regroups After Holding Tank Veto
August 25, 2010 by Leanne Phillips · Comments Off on CalARVC Regroups After Holding Tank Veto
The law's intent was to protect campground owners, their guests and Californians at large from potential hazardous effects from products containing bronopol, dowicil, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, paraformadelhyde and paradichlorobenzene.
Debbie Sipe, CalARVC director, told RVBUSINESS.com that due to the large amount of chemical-related bills presented to the California legislature in recent years, the governor created the Green Chemistry Initiative. The initiative is a way to better address these bills through scientific research done by the Department of Toxics and Substance Control (DTSC).
The DTSC previously told CalARVC it would be taking on more broadly affected chemicals first before they addressed AB 1824, since it concerned a smaller niche market.
Sipe said CalARVC knew this was a risk when it submitted the bill for consideration, but still felt hopeful after it passed through all other levels of legislation with huge bipartisan support and only three nay votes.
"The governor vetoed it because he wants all of this to go through the Green Chemistry Initiative," Sipe said. "We had lobbied the governor's office and had letters to his office and we were hoping we could get through because we are a smaller niche."
Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Thetford Corp., a manufacturer of holding tank chemicals for both the marine and RV markets, Dometic Corp., Elkhart, Ind., a Thetford competitor, and the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) opposed the bill – essentially urging the state of California to back up their reasons with science that proves these chemicals are fouling up septic systems.
In response to the veto, Kevin Phillips, Thetford's vice president of sales and marketing, stated, "RVIA and other concerned industry organizations rallied together and helped to provide education and understanding regarding this bill. Without them, this veto, which preserves consumer choice in RV deodorants, may not have been achieved."
CalARVC will hold a meeting to discuss its next steps and will be asking manufacturing companies to do their best to push and promote organic-based products.
"We failed in our efforts, but we hope the manufacturers will back the campground industry and help support us," Sipe said.
CalARVC also plans to submit a list of green-based products as the recommended guide for consumers and will be adding an educational section to its website to educate people about environmentally-friendly products.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that can affect any part of the central nervous system, and thus can cause a wide variety of symptoms. It can range in severity from relatively benign to somewhat disabling to devastating.
"MS is something that sounds really terrifying to most people, but the developments that have been made in just the past 10 years make it a disease that is very manageable," said Dr. Elizabeth Minto, assistant professor of neurology at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine and a neurologist with USA Physicians Group. "I try to reassure my patients that while MS is a chronic and progressive disease, it is treatable."
Though the cause of MS is unknown, the disease results from an autoimmune attack on myelin, an insulating substance around nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This damage, termed demyelination, disrupts the normal communication between the brain and other parts of the body, including the eyes, limbs, and even bowel and bladder.
Dr. Minto says that MS affects each patient differently – depending on the extent and location of demyelinating lesions in the nervous system.
"MS can cause any symptom that you can think of because it can attack anywhere in the brain or spinal cord," she said. Some symptoms are more common in MS, including vision loss (typically in one eye), double vision, or weakness or numbness on one side of the body.
"The disease has an incredibly broad spectrum of severity," she added. "It can also cause blindness, wheelchair dependence, the inability to walk, and the inability to control bladder function." Depression, disabling fatigue, and stress are also very common in patients with MS.
Due to its wide variety of symptoms and lack of a single definitive diagnostic test, the diagnosis of MS can often be a difficult process. According to Dr. Minto, MS is typically diagnosed when a patient's history of neurological symptoms suggests multiple lesions and is confirmed when an MRI shows evidence of demyelinating lesions. "A lot of people fear they have MS because of vague symptoms, like fleeting numbness or tingling" she says. "But, if neurologic examination and MRI are normal, the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is effectively ruled out."
According to Dr. Minto, the onset of MS symptoms tends to come on over several days, slowly worsening before starting to get better. This is contrasted with symptoms of a stroke, which tend to be at their worst right from the onset. "Often, patients may have a flare of MS and their symptoms return back to their baseline or close to baseline when the inflammation subsides. They do well until they have another exacerbation, where they may develop new symptoms or have worsening of prior symptoms."
Dr. Minto says flares of MS, termed exacerbations, are the hallmark of the disease and the cause of progression of disability. While there is no cure for MS, there are several treatments that have been proven to be effective at preventing the number of relapses and the severity of them.
Dr. Minto said the standard treatments for MS are injections, specifically interferon beta and glatiramer acetate. "There wasn't a treatment other than steroids for exacerbations until the 1990s when it was discovered that interferon beta was effective at reducing the progression of lesions and the development of new symptoms," she said. Currently, there are four different types of interferons available. They can be dosed daily, weekly, or several times per week. Glatiramer acetate is proven to be as effective as interferon, but works in a different way. It is a daily injection that is thought to mimic myelin, thus interfering with the immune attack on nerve tissue.
More recently, oral medications have been developed and approved by the FDA for treatment of MS. These medications, which are taken daily, work in different ways to alter the body's immune response and reduce the number of MS attacks. "The development of oral medications, as opposed to injections, is exciting for patients since needles can be painful and anxiety producing and can also be associated with injection site reactions, infection, and cosmetically unappealing skin changes," says Dr. Minto.
For people who have progression of their symptoms or MRI lesions, or whose MS is more severe, a prescription medicine called natalizumab, marketed under the name Tysabri, is available. Tysabri is approved for adult patients with relapsing forms of MS to slow the worsening of disability that is common in patients with MS and decrease the number of flare-ups. This treatment is available at the USA Neuroscience Infusion Center at USA Medical Center. Typically, patients come once a month for treatment, which takes approximately two hours.
Although treatments for MS do not reverse symptoms that are already present, they are proven to reduce the risk of further exacerbations and progression of disability. According to Dr. Minto, treatment options for MS will continue to improve.
"I believe most of us know at least one neighbor, coworker, or friend who has MS that we are not even aware of – because treatments are working," Dr. Minto said. "Many people with MS work, take care of their families, and make valuable contributions to their community. MS doesn't carry with it the automatic sentence of disability that it did in the past."

Rangers Thump Marauders 71-44
ORLEANS–It was a complete group performance by the Lake Region boys on Wednesday evening as everybody on the team made an offensive contribution in the Ranger's 71-44 win over Northfield.Said coach James Ingalls, "It was a great team effort, all the guys worked hard, shared the ball, and that is why we got the W.""It felt pretty good to go out there and run the plays right," said senior center James Margolla on his team's play against the Marauders.Right from the get go, the Rangers took the action to Northfield, and it started with Alex Beauregard,Beauregard drove hard to the lane, drew the foul, and made both of his shots. He followed that up with a long jumper, and it was 4-0 Lake Region.Zach Daley drew Northfield even with one from the line and a three.Shaquille Urie answered with a three of his own, then Beauregard found Drew Gallup for two and the Rangers were back out in front, now by five.After Gallup's basket, Ingalls started to rotate the rest of the Rangers in, and the team continued to make life miserable for the visitors.Dakota Mcallister book-ended a Beauregard and-one with a two and three. Caleb Royer took a Marquel Webster dish and hit from downtown to keep the momentum going.Northfield's Brad Medow was fouled while attempting a trey, and made all three of his shots to bring the score to 20-9.James Margolla put back a Ranger rebound and made one of two to push the lead to fourteen, but Ryan Payette's three at the buzzer dropped the advantage to eleven, giving some life to Marauder bench.The joy was short lived for Northfield as Beauregard returned to the floor to start the second, picking up where he left off in the first.He opened the scoring with a lay-up, then set up Urie for the play of the game.With Shaquille streaking down the left side of the court, Alex crossed mid-court and threw the ball up for a beautiful alley-oop and a fifteen point Ranger lead.The game slowed down for a stretch after the Urie bucket, but Daley broke the silence at the five minute mark with a deuce.However the Northfield guard would get into foul trouble and was removed from the contest, taking the Marauders offense with him.Lake Region closed out the half on an 8-3 run, and took a 36-17 lead into the break.The teams traded buckets to start the third, but then Darik Messier dumped in a Beauregard miss to start an eight point Lake Region run.One of the many things that was going right for the Rangers was their low-post game, and Margolla knows that the team must utilize their size advantage if they want to have success heading towards the play-offs."We're big and that's our strength," said Margolla, "We need to act strong in the paint and enforce what we've got."A this point I noticed an interesting thing happening on the Marauder bench.Nothing.Most coaches would be irate, or trying to right the ship, or doing something, but the Northfield coaches sat silently, one with his head in his hands, the other like he was just a spectator, while Lake Region ran over their squad.Perhaps it is the fact that they have seen their team lose fifteen previous games this season that had them so morose, even so, appearing to throw in the towel is not the best message to send to your players.After the Ranger run, it was back to give-and-take basketball for the remainder of the quarter with each team scoring seven.In the fourth, the scoring differential was just two (18-16), but with the mammoth lead built up by Lake Region throughout the first three quarters, Northfield just did not have what it took to get back into the game.The biggest difference in this game was the play of the two benches. When the LR starters went out, the level of play stayed high. When the Northfield bench went in, nothing happened.Literally, nothing.Northfield got no scoring from players six through ten, while Lake Region got forty points from their reserves."The bench was ready to rock today," said Ingalls after the game, "They gave us some really solid minutes and extended the lead while they were on the floor."Three Ranger's hit double digits, with James Margolla on top with thirteen points, followed by Urie's eleven, and Beauregard's ten.Every other Ranger had at least two points in the contest.Northfield's Zach Daley led all scorers with nineteen points.Tonight will not be quite so easy for the 8-9 Rangers as the number one seed in division three, 15-2 Enosburg, comes rolling into Ranger Country for their annual visit.Tip-off is at 7:00.

JACKSON, Miss. – Mike Barthelemy ran for five touchdowns and 120 yards as Millsaps College defeated Berry College, 38-3, on Saturday.
The Majors improved to 8-0 and 4-0 in the Southern Athletic Association. Berry dropped to 1-8 and 0-5.
"We played a very good team today in Millsaps," said Head Coach Tony Kunczewski. "They are well-coached and running on all cylinders right now."
GC's lone points came on a 30-yard field goal by Campbell Harrison with 8:33 remaining in the contest. The Vikings took over on the MC's 30-yard line after a botched punt. They were aided on the four-play, 18-yard drive by a pass interference call on the Majors.
The second half was even as Millsaps' lone score was a 42-yard third-quarter field goal by Beau Brady.
Berry trailed at halftime, however, 35-0. The Majors scored touchdowns on four straight possessions en route to the win.
On defense, The Vikings got 11 tackles from Bryce Bailey and 10 from Anthony Batey. Bradley Browngrabbed an interception and Dan Ebert recorded six tackles, with two for losses.
Quarterback Sandon Mims was 12-32 for 129 yards passing, but he threw two interceptions. Christopher Lilly had 104 all-purpose yards, including 75 on kick returns.
"I am proud of the way our guys fought in the second half," Kunczewski said. "They continue to impress us with their attitudes and work ethic. That's a big positive we will take into next week."
The Vikings host Sewanee next Saturday. The Berry season finale begins at 2 p.m. at Barron Stadium.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
In the same way that the finest presentations involve much more than the simple relaying of information, the finest software demos are much more than just presenting features.
REMEMBER: The goal of a demo is to INSPIRE the audience to use the software/technology, not to teach them every nuance of software/technology.
I've spent the last 10 years learning how to give good presentations and to give good software demonstrations. Here are several tips to take your software demonstration from informative to masterful:
Whenever you start a demo, make sure you have a good idea what the audience is interested in. That way you can focus the attention of the audience upon things that actively engage their imagination. You really, really want the audience to be thinking about how they're going to use the software that you are presenting. If it if you're not presenting on something that they're interested in, they'll mentally disengage. In some cases you'll even see them open their laptops and start to answer emails. That's the last thing in the world that you want to happen.
In many cases, I'll begin a presentation by asking my audience to tell me more about themselves. I want to know how much of their time is spent as a developer, as a DBA, as a designer. If nothing else, I can change the sort of examples that I use to be tailored specifically to the audience that are presenting to.
Truly bad software demos have problems. The code doesn't work. The beta software crashes. The screen shows the dreaded blue screen. But that's one thing. What you really want to avoid, is the truly mediocre software demo. The quickest path to a mediocre software demo is to simply show every feature and explain each in as much detail as you can. It's like those games that sit in our closet that no one likes to play. Most all of these games are ones in which one person takes a turn while everyone else waits. No one has any fun except for the three or four minutes in which it relates directly to them.
It's always a good idea to inform your attendees of what you would like to present. What you present the agenda it's a great idea to confirm that this agenda is what the audience is looking for. Before I learned to do this on a regular basis, I found that my presentation might contain two or three lengthy sections of my software demo which were completely uninteresting to the audience. The customer is really numbed by this waste of time. It's far better to tell the audience what you are going to tell them.
Here's my routine when I start a demo. Confirm that your agenda is of interest to them and recheck the time constraints of the meeting. Then, get to what they are interested in. This flexibility also provides you the opportunity to inject other software demonstrations that are much more pertinent to your audience. Audiences love a presenter who can think on their feet and are flexible to the interests of the audience.
This is a aspect of demonstrations and presentations that I struggle with. I worried a lot that I hadn't demonstrated enough credibility with my audience. And so for many years of my technology evangelism role, I spent a lot of time telling the audience about myself and about the company. What I found over time though, is that audiences actually give you an initial dose of credibility. It's up to you to maintain and even enhance that credibility through a strong demo and a good presentation. Better to have a very short introduction and get straight to the meat of the presentation.
Call out - Mouse Cursor Movement: It's especially important to remember in online demos that there is usually a great deal of latency between what you do on your screen and what your audience sees on their screen. So it's important to remember to MOVE YOUR MOUSE SLOWLY AND THOUGHTFULLY! I've sat in online webcasts, and even in in-person events, where the mouse literally disappeared on one section of the screen and reappeared elsewhere because the presenter was moving their mouse cursor here, there, and everywhere. If you want the audience to see what you're doing with the mouse cursor, keep it slow.
One of the most important things a software evangelist can do is to show the most important and pertinent take away of their software. Let's you are trying to teach an audience about the extreme ROI (return on investment) of a particular kind of business intelligence strategy, it's crucial that you figure out in advance what are the key takeaways that you would like your audience to remember. Typically in audience will only remember two or three very salient points about your demo. If the BI presentation spends the first 30 minutes showing how to build a report but never once mentions ROI, what do you think the audience will remember? Once you know what is pertinent to your audience and what you want the key takeaway to be, you should focus the rest of your energies on building an airtight demo that supports those takeaways.
You will see the inverse of this many times in a mediocre or poor demo. At the end of the demo the audience will feel like they have sat through product training, rather than a call to action that inspires them to use the product. I've sat through demos in which the presenter carefully walk through several different menus, tabs, and wizards. And after 30 minutes of that, I now knew HOW to use the software, but I still didn't know WHY I would use the software.
In the worst cases, showing everything that your software can do may leave the audience feeling that it is too complex, too detailed, or too overwhelming for them to use effectively. Remember that a software demo is not design to train the audience. A software demo is designed to inspire the audience to use your products.
We usually get sidelined in our demos by two things: questions from the audience and "technical difficulties" a.k.a. bugs.
It's usually a good sign if your demo is provoking questions from the audience. However, you don't want to demo to turn into free consultation to solve one person's problem. Nor do you want to turn into fact-finding for one very narrow set of interests or to become the arbiter of some sort of political dispute between factions in the audience.
When taking questions, remember to repeat the question to the audience. This ensures that you fully understood the question, that the questioner asked for what they meant, and that if there is any recording going on the question will be picked up by the recording system.
But my typical rule of thumb is to only spend a couple minutes on a single question and questioner. Once a single questioner goes beyond a couple minutes, you can usually tell if you're heading for the sidelines. It's at that point that I asked the questioner if we can take the question off-line and come back to it afterwards so that everyone else can benefit from the time that we have set aside right now.
Another form of sidelining are bugs in the software and outright crashes of your demo environment. Many times this simply can't be avoided. This is especially true if you are demoing a beta version of the software. But there are couple important things to remember if you are sidelined by a bug or crash.
First, mention if you're using a beta and that it might not be fully stable. Also, be sure to mention that the software WAS stable when you prepared the demo. Second, test your demo after conducting a full reboot of your demo environment. I've seen many demos crash because the presenter made other changes in the environment but only tested for the software demonstration itself. Third, Don't draw attention to bugs that you encounter during the demo, especially if they're just cosmetic. It's important not to do things like slap your four head and exclaim "what the hell is that?" If it's a bigger bug that hampers or interferes with functionality, you might state that it's normal functionality is… XYZ. Finally, if you experience a major bug or crash, immediately disconnect the projector or the desktop sharing application. There's nothing worse than seeing a presenter struggle with the bug in front of the entire audience.
All good jokes have a punchline. All good action movies have a climax. All good newspaper stories have a headline. Your demo needs to have a jackpot, where the audience can clearly and immediately see how your software pays off.
Let's say you're doing a demo of the new columnstore features in SQL Server 2012. You could spend a lot of time showing the conceptual underpinnings of a columnstore index. You could show the state was to create columnstore indexes, to modify them, to drop them. You could admonish the audience and ways to build read-write systems so that they can easily get data into and out of columnstore indexes.
But what's the real payoff of a columnstore index? It is incredible fast for a particular kind of scenario on SQL Server. So in this example, your jackpot is to show how difficult that scenario is under normal circumstances and then immediately show how easy and fast it is with the columnstore index. Bingo! Your audience is hooked. They immediately see why they want this. There inspired to start using it. Now, they want to figure out how to use it and want to know when and under what conditions they should use.

As both a SQL Server trainer and presenter and someone who is trying to educate people on how to make their presentations better, I do want to add up and make this list even more complete. Here are just a few from me that make me angry every ... single ... time I see them during a presentation or demo:
1. Screensaver just turned on - so unprofessional and such a small and easy thing to fix. Still, I am seeing it very, very often!
2. Power saving options got just turned on - now your queries run slower, because Windows / Mac OS decided that they are not going to go back to Performance mode for some reason. Again - it's just a click away from fixing!
3. Various distractions - you just received an e-mail or your Skype rang. Probably, someone just wrote you on Facebook and a strange sound is coming from somewhere? These are all bad and they are bad, because they distract audience's attention. You don't want that! Believe me...
4. Your demos fail and you do not have a backup - how is it possible for presenters (and I am getting emotional here) to still think that when their demos fail, it is OK to say "ah...I do not know what happened, I will show it to you next time"? Seriously? That is really unprofessional and shows that you do not respect people's time (and that is REALLY BAD!). You always have to have screenshots or even better - a video recording of your demos! Gosh...
5. The audience cannot see what you are doing - this is so common and I have been on presentations where the presenter says: "I know you cannot see it, but I cannot do anything about it" and the whole room goes laughing(yes, they did!), because they know there is a way and it is so strange that you as a presenter don't! Take a step and test tools like ZoomIt, Magnifier, your OS built-in and make sure that the audience does not have to make any effort in order to see what is there on the screen.
One more - bonus :) - never ever (forever ever... :) ) say "as we all know". No, we don't! Noone knows everything, but that does not make us half people! That is why it is better to use "Did you know..." or "How many of you actually knew that...".
Hope these 6 helped. Kevin, what do you think?
Outstanding comments, Boris! I have a few more comments I should add about demos and presentations as well that are more 'logistical' in nature, like making sure you've got Zoomit installed AND that your fonts are visible to folks in the back of the room.
Again, very good contribution to the discussion. =^)
Boris: I think many presenters say "as we all know" to try to show respect for the audience. It's interesting to think about. If you say "did you know..?" you might annoy someone who thinks they're above your content. If you say "as we all know" you annoy someone who didn't know. I'm not sure where the happy medium is. I don't say either!
@Kevin, I think we can do a pretty good list of NOT DOs and THINK ABOUT THESE here, yes! :)
@Adam, I see it this way - if you say "as we all know..." and I do not know it, I feel uncomfortable. I would never go with the "as we all know" in order to show respect to the audience. I will figure other way out to accomplish this and that is why I also do not use it.
If you say "did you know..." and I don't know it - I feel interested! I am about to learn something new! If, however, I know it, it's OK. Your comment regarding the people "above your content" is valid though, but do you really think that you as a presenter should care that much for people that obviously does not pay any respect to you and your content? I am always, always trying to tell students and people that I help with their presentations, that whatever they do, no matter how good they are, there will be a person - one or two, probably more, that will be dissatisfied with you and your stuff at the end. The question is - how can we make these people less! How can we do our presentations so good that when the moment comes we have just 2 people thinking that "this presentation was not a big deal"... :)
"How many of you actually knew that..." for me is the same as "did you know..." . Again, If I know it - good for me! If I don't - then obviously I will learn something new and I am interested.
These are all so tricky, don't you think? That is why I am also very, very careful of what I say and how I say it and If I can go and do my presentation without even using one of them - then even better. I am a total supporter of yours "I don't say either!" :)

MET White-Off: Kiki vs Swifty
Kiki. I'm with Kiki. You?
Kirsten Dunst is wearing Rodarte for Gap. Compared to Emma Watson, as far as a one shoulder goes, Kiki's is so much more interesting, especially the back. Quirky but still elegant, with personality, and totally suited to the night particularly paired with those gran boots. Perfect touch. And it's the best Kiki's looked in a long time. Perhaps this year's Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue, with the new crop of young women, was a little bit of a jolt. After all, Kiki is just 28. They're all still contemporaries. And she used to be It. So now it's time to get it back. Good.
Taylor Swift?
Of course it was Ralph Lauren and wispy and white and virginal with her stiff hairspray waves that don't move and the same same same over and over and over again and if we haven't passed the expiration date, it must be coming up soon because if Swifty doesn't shake it up, she'll BE Carrie Underwood and Swifty is too sweet and too likeable to be following that Country Bitch down the path of tacky boring.
Please. One time. Straight hair. Baby steps.

One of the so-called "sweeteners" added to the financial markets bailout bill that passed the Senate Tuesday night was an obscure provision allowing motorsports race track owners to write off the cost of their facilities over seven years. Apparently the IRS has been trying to extend the track write-off period to 15 years — which means track owners would be able to deduct less every year — but thanks to the Wall Street Bailout, superspeedway owners barely able to scrape by with obscure NASCAR and IndyCar races will finally get the tax breaks they deserve. Cost to taxpayers? $100 million. Provision and analysis courtesy of The Chicago Tribune after the jump.
2. Sec. 317. Seven-year cost recovery period for motorsports racing track facility. . Track owners want to be able write off the cost of their facilities on their taxes over seven years - a depreciation timetable many of them have used for decades. But the IRS has wanted to stretch it to at least 15 years and has raised questions whether the increasingly popular tracks really belong in the same tax category as amusement parks. Auto track owners are simply trying to get out of paying more taxes - which they'd have to do if they deducted less every year. These owners have gotten plenty of tax breaks over the years from states and localities eager to get speedways. The provision would be extend 2 years till the end of 2009 and would cost 100 million. The provision encompasses all facilities including grandstands, parking lots and concession stands.

Son Saws Off His Own Hands After Stabbing Father
(CNN) -- A 59-year-old man lay bloody on the driveway. His son stood nearby, both his hands cut off at the wrist.
That's the gruesome scene Shasta County, California, sheriff's deputies encountered Monday afternoon, before calling ambulances to transport the two to area hospitals.
A full day later, both Gregory Dunn and his son Jason are still alive despite their life-threatening injuries, said sheriff's office Detective Will Gardner.
No charges had been filed in the case as of Tuesday afternoon. The incident is being investigated as an attempted homicide, police said.
The bloody scene played out Monday in the northern California city of Redding, in a neighborhood close to a municipal airport in that city.
According to police, what began as a verbal fight between family members at some point became physical. Based on interviews, the sheriff's office alleged that the 27-year-old son stabbed his father multiple times with scissors.
Then, the sheriff's office said a press release, Jason Dunn mutilated himself by using a radial-arm saw to sever his hands.
Neighbors heard the altercation, as did an unnamed witness who contacted authorities, according to Gardner.
Gary Rinehart told CNN affiliate KRCR that he saw both men being wheeled from the scene into separate ambulances. The first, the son, had "a lot of blood at the end of his arms, like his hands weren't there." The second, the father, had "blood in the upper area."
"This is definitely the craziest thing that's ever happened on this street," Rinehart said.
The father would walk his dog around the neighborhood, according to Rinehart, who described him as a "nice guy" based on their occasional conversations. The neighbor said he'd only met the son once in eight years living there, when Jason Dunn apologized for shooting a pellet gun toward another neighbor's house.
Reflecting Tuesday on the bloody incident that occurred across the street from his home, Rinehart said, "I just can't imagine anything like that happening between family."
