Multiple Sclerosis: Medicines for Muscle Stiffness and Tremors
Topic Overview
Several medicines may be used to treat muscle stiffness (spasticity) caused by multiple sclerosis (MS).
- Baclofen (Lioresal) is the drug of choice for spasticity. It is available in tablets or by delivery through a pump implanted in the lower spinal area. Pump delivery is effective for those with severe spasticity.
- Tizanidine (Zanaflex) is a drug similar to baclofen. It is available in tablet form.
- Dantrolene (Dantrium) is also effective. But it may cause muscle weakness, which limits the number of people who can use it. Other side effects may include nausea, vomiting, lack of hunger (anorexia), and, with high dosages or prolonged use, liver damage.
- Gabapentin (Neurontin) may help relieve pain as well as spasticity. It is usually very well tolerated and causes few side effects.
- Diazepam (Valium) and clonazepam (Clonapam, Rivotril) relieve both spasticity and anxiety but may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion.
- Injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) may provide relief in some cases.footnote 1
Often a combination of these medicines given in small doses is better tolerated and more effective than a larger dose of a single medicine.
Some forms of natural or man-made substances related to marijuana, called cannabinoids, may help relieve spasticity.
Carbamazepine (Tegretol), which is a seizure medicine, benzodiazepines such as diazepam (Valium) and clonazepam (Clonapam, Rivotril), and beta-blockers, especially propranolol (Inderal), may have some benefit in treating tremors caused by MS.
Severe tremors are very hard to treat. If they do not respond to medicine, surgery may be needed.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on seizure medicines and the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take seizure medicine should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take seizure medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.

Police say fire that destroyed Sununu Youth Services Center building was set
June 08. 2014 9:14AM
MANCHESTER - Fire investigators say an overnight blaze that gutted a vacant building at the Sununu Youth Services Center in Manchester was intentionally set.
District Chief Mike Gamache says that a 911 call came in around 2:09 a.m. Sunday reporting a fire at the juvenile detention facility on River Road.
Gamache said the building at the northern most edge of the property hadn't been in use for more than 20 years, but police had been called recently to remove people who had broken in.
Gamache said the fire was still an active scene Sunday morning. He said investigators at the site had ruled out accidental causes and consider the fire to be arson.
There were no injuries.

National Marine Sanctuary Program
(831) 647-4204
Sarah Marquis, NMSP Media
(949) 222-2212
A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) program known as the Bay Watershed Education and Training Program, or B-WET, is looking to distribute $350,000 in grants for projects that will give students meaningful learning experiences about the watersheds of the Santa Barbara/ Ventura area and NOAA-run Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. Applications will be accepted until January 31, 2006.
Grants will range from $10,000 to $50,000 to implement environmental education projects in two priority areas: meaningful watershed experiences for students and professional development in the area of environmental education for teachers.
"Marine and environmental education is extremely important in creating a stewardship of the coastal environment" said VADM Conrad Lautenbacher, under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "NOAA is proud to be a part of this program that provides students and teachers with unique and beneficial educational opportunities."
The announced funding represents a federally supported environmental education grant program focused solely on the Santa Barbara Area and specifically NOAA's Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
Funding is available to kindergarten through 12th grade public and independent schools and school systems, institutions of higher education, commercial and nonprofit organizations, state or local government agencies, and Indian tribal governments. Programs must take place in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.
The B-WET Program was established in 2002 to improve the understanding of environmental stewardship of students, teachers, and communities through education. Recognizing that an educated community is the key to understanding and sustaining the nation's ocean and coastal environments, NOAA has developed B-WET Programs in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, Monterey Bay watershed, San Francisco Bay watershed, Santa Barbara Channel watershed, and the Hawaiian Islands. Following are examples of previously funded B-WET projects:
Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology --- Students assessed and monitored coral reef health and learned how research is conducted in Kaneohe Bay. They acquired skills in data collection techniques, evaluation and organization, and presented their results through scientific and public media.
Monterey High School --- High school students conducted water quality sampling and intertidal monitoring, conducted statistical analysis on the data, wrote papers on the results, and presented findings at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Symposium.
An application package and information is available on the NOAA B-WET Web site.
NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program seeks to increase the public awareness of America's maritime heritage by conducting scientific research, monitoring, exploration and educational programs. Today, 13 national marine sanctuaries encompass more than 18,000 square miles of America's ocean and Great Lakes natural and cultural resources. Designation of an additional 131,818 square miles of the Northwest Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve as the 14th national marine sanctuary is pending.
NOAA National Ocean Service manages the National Marine Sanctuary Program and is dedicated to exploring, understanding, conserving and restoring the nation's coasts and oceans. The National Ocean Service balances environmental protection with economic prosperity in fulfilling its mission of promoting safe navigation, supporting coastal communities, sustaining coastal habitats and mitigating coastal hazards.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with our federal partners and nearly 60 countries to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes.

CORVALLIS — Bring a taste of South America, Europe or Asia to your garden this year by adding a diverse array of exotic vegetables.
A varied collection of plants also can reduce the potential for pests and diseases in a garden, said Jim Myers, a vegetable breeder with the Oregon State University Extension Service.
"There's a lot of natural, biological control that goes on in a garden that we're not even aware of when we have biodiversity," Myers said.
When shopping for exotic plants, buy only seeds or starts from Pacific Northwest-based nurseries and suppliers, Myers advised. If you order online or while traveling, globetrotting plants may carry hitchhiking pests or diseases.
The following plants were tested at OSU fields and perform well with varying degrees of success in a Pacific Northwest climate, Myers said.
Cardoon — Cynara cardunculus: Cardoon is related to the artichoke. Both are perennial members of the thistle family and hail from southern Europe. It needs full sun. Its leaf stalks produce in a flush of springtime growth; in the summer there is little growth. Harvest the leaf stalks similar to the way you would celery. Stalks need to be cleaned and peeled before cooking. Plant transplants in spring.
Yacón — Smallanthus sonchifolius: The yacón is an Andean relative of the sunflower that grows 6 to 8 feet tall. It's tasty in a salad or as a snack but doesn't contain enough carbohydrates to become a diet staple, according to Myers. The perennial performs well in both Eastern and Western Oregon. While similar to the Jerusalem artichoke, yacón's tuberous roots grow to about the size of a sweet potato. Plant seed pieces in the spring for an October harvest. Yacón can overwinter in the ground where the soil does not freeze.
Mashua — Tropaeolum tuberosum: Mashua is grown in the Andes for its edible tuberous roots. A relative of the nasturtium, mashua's showy red flowers emerge in late September. A vigorous perennial, it can climb 7 to 13 feet high. Mashua has a pungent flavor, similar to a radish. This hardy plant thrives even in poor soil. Cultivate as you would a potato; plant in spring for a fall harvest.
Oca — Oxalis tuberosa: Oregon does not offer an optimum climate for oca, but it can be grown in select areas in the western part of the state. Tubers will grow small without tropical heat. It can't survive frost, but tubers will overwinter in the ground as long as they do not freeze. Plant in spring for November harvest. Cultivate as you would a potato. The tuber is edible and the leaves and young shoots can be eaten, as well. Its flavor is slightly tangy, caused by its oxalic acid content, which should not be consumed in large quantities. Some varieties have been bred for lower oxalic acid content.
Asian greens: Any green in the Brassica rapa family. A good one to try is pakchoi cabbage, which has large, white, fleshy stems. When eaten, it has a soft, creamy texture. "It has a little bite to it but it's pretty mild," Myers said. This cool-season crop goes well in salads or cooked. Plant it in early spring for an early summer harvest. Not tolerant of winter conditions. At OSU, pakchoi cabbage is planted in July for a fall harvest.

Bedding Collections
Crate and Barrel has everything you could want in your bedding and bed linens—from class to comfort and everything in between. We offer comforters, duvet covers. sheets and pillow cases as well as complete bedding collections. Learn more about the bed linens we offer.
About Our Bedding Collections
Our bedding adds comfort to your bed. Many of our textiles are sourced globally to create a diverse collection with an option for whatever your style. Our textile designs are compiled from manufacturers, professional designers, original artwork and internal inspiration. Color trends from fashion and home design are constantly observed and remapped in our collections to bring you stylish, on-trend bedding options.
Bed Linen Materials
As you choose your bedding, you'll find that we have a variety of materials and weaves, including:
- Percale —Percale is a plain weave in which warp and weft threads of equal thickness cross each other one at a time. It is characterized by a smooth, flat, sturdy, balanced close weave. It is the primary technique for high quality cotton bed linens. A percale weave for bed linens must have a thread count of 180 or higher.
- Sateen —The beautiful shine of this weave is created by passing four horizontal weft threads over or under one vertical warp thread creating more "yarn face" on the surface of the cotton cloth. Unlike percale, it may not be balanced as threads of unequal thickness are often used to achieve the look. It has a wonderful silky soft hand. Cotton thread used for this weave will often be combed and mercerized to achieve an even smoother look. Mercerization is a process in which the cotton thread is treated in order to prevent it from shrinking and give the final product a lustrous look.
- Linen —Designed to get softer with every wash, our linen sheets bring a warm, relaxed feeling to your bed. Linen sheets have unique short fibers with naturally-occurring knots and slubs as well as a comforting weight.
Thread Count Considerations for Bedding
Thread count is the number of threads woven per square inch of fabric. In general, the higher the thread count, the better the quality of the bedding. However, there is a physical limit to the number of threads you can fit into an inch. Bedding experts agree that premium sheeting will have a thread count between 200 and 450 threads per inch. Top layers, such as duvets and comforters, may use a lower thread count because they are not typically used against the skin, but rather to dress the bed. At Crate and Barrel, you'll find bed linens in high thread counts that feel great with every use. All of our bedding is tested for quality of materials, details of careful tailoring and functionality so you can enjoy it for years to come.

May 18, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - In an effort to strengthen the department's image and energize one of the most recognizable brands in the collegiate world, MIT's Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation (DAPER) unveiled its new visual identity during an extremely successful Visting Committee last week. On Thursday, the brand was unveiled to the student body as part of a promotional giveaway.
In 2001, the department successfully created the DAPER acronym. Through the current branding initiative, the athletic department hopes to achieve uniformity within its programs in terms of image, style, meaning and essence, while fostering campus pride and a competitive spirit that supports MIT's reputation as one of the nation's most expansive and unique athletic programs.
Partnering with the MIT Publishing Services Bureau, DAPER identified SME Branding of New York to lead the project. SME Branding is the nation's leader in developing athletic brands, and their work is internationally renowned on the intercollegiate, professional and corporate level.
"This is a new age for the sports programs at MIT," commented DAPER Department Head and Director of Athletics Candace Royer. "Students are more serious than ever about their quest for excellence in sport. We believe this is an important time to engage our students and community in a project that will produce an identity for athletics at MIT that is compatible with this drive for excellence."
DAPER hosted six different focus groups of varying sizes and reviewed over one hundred potential designs, while all of its constituents were able to be active in the process. The department consulted alums, parents, coaches, faculty and administrators. But most importantly, it was the student voice that drove the direction of the program.
"The marks that have been developed were with the input of many campus constituents," added Royer. "We are very pleased with the results from SME and, if our distribution of the mark to our students is any indication, we are pleased that we have created a lot of excitement about the brand! The new mark, bearing both the MIT mascot beaver along with the our traditional ligature identity "engineers," is symbolic of movement toward what is new about out programs yet rich in our athletic traditions."
During the Brand-On report, DAPER learned that nearly all of the participating students responded well to incorporating a beaver into the final solution. The beaver was adopted as the Institute's official mascot at the annual dinner of the Technology Club of New York on January 17, 1914. Just as critical, the study concluded that there was very little equity in the serif-font based collegiate T, which had been unofficially adopted near the turn of the 20th century as MIT sports teams were seeking a mark to differentiate itself from rival colleges. At the time, most intercollegiate programs used the classic collegiate font as its logo. The letter T was used at MIT because at the time of the mark's creation, the Institute was simply known as Technology.
SME's client list resembles a "Who's Who" in sports and the firm is widely considered the industry authority in sports branding. With over 2000 brand-building solutions to clients worldwide, the firm has developed an unparalleled understanding of how sports are consumed and how brand strategies and communications programs must be approached differently than with any other types of consumer brands. Clients include the U.S. Military Academy, University of North Carolina, University of Florida and Boston College on the collegiate front and the Boston Celtics, Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Mariners and New Jersey Nets in the professional ranks.
SME CEO & Partner Fred Popp noted, "As a medallion institution on par with Oxford, Cambridge and the Sorbonne, MIT constantly challenges itself to advance the way things are done. As such, their approach to the re-branding of MIT Athletics has resulted in a dynamic new program that is a true representation of this esteemed institution, expressing it's never-ending pursuit of innovation and marks a new standard by which collegiate athletics are represented."

HELSINKI (AP) — Finnish mobile game developer Rovio has announced it will launch a successor to its immensely popular wingless birds franchise "Angry Birds" in the next few months.
CEO Mikael Hed says it has bought the rights to "Casey's Contraptions" — a puzzle game played on cellphones and computers — from developers Snappy Touch and Mystery Coconut.
Hed told Finnish YLE TV on Friday that the game will be renamed "Amazing Alex," and revolve around "a curious young boy who loves to build things."
He said Angry Birds has reached 1 billion downloads just two years after its launch.
Rovio said its revenue for 2011 was €75.4 million ($98 million), but gave no comparable figure for the previous year.
Last month, Rovio launched its first "Angry Birds" theme park in Finland.

VCs Distancing Themselves From Spyware Investments
from the how-quickly-things-change... dept
A year ago, we were surprised that VCs would bother investing in spyware/adware companies when they were so universally hated -- which seemed like it would come back to bite them pretty badly. There were even VCs who went through convoluted arguments trying to define "good" and "bad" spyware companies to figure out who to invest in. In the past six months or so, something changed. Suddenly, the place to be investing was anti-spyware companies, which meant that VCs were basically funding an industry based on wiping out an industry they had funded last year. This even resulted in a few situations where VCs had bets on both sides of the battle. However, with the shift to backing the anti-spyware side, something funny has happened. Almost no one associated with the most famous name in spyware, Claria, will admit to being involved with the company any more. The folks at Silicon Beat heard a rumor that Microsoft was trying to buy Claria -- a bizarre rumor, and one that was quickly denied. However, all of the VCs they tried to reach claimed their investments in Claria were a long time ago, and they had nothing to do with the company any more. The same could be said for the investment bankers who once tried to take the company public. It seems that all these folks who got blinded by the dollars, have finally realized that a business model based on tricking people and pissing them off probably isn't one that's worth being involved in. Not only that, but they're recognizing that it reflects very poorly on them for thinking it was a worthwhile investment in the first place.

Jantje needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 116 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
Meubelaanhuis.nl is Dutch and means in English:
Meubel = Furniture
Aan = To
Huis = Home
(e.g. as in 'furniture to your home')
We are a small furniture store specialized in making our own oak furniture designs.
We like to start selling of our unique furniture designs online, by a wehsop, which will open in a few weeks from now.
Selling oak furniture is new in this in this market, instead of the conventional showroom/store. Why the name: meubelaanhuis.nl ('furniture to your home').
Mainly young couples who live together and both work fulltime.
Oak is natural and durable material to make hip and modern furniture.
Due to the material, it is not low in price as furniture you will find at large warehouses (e.g. IKEA). We want to offer lower prices because we sell exclusively from a webshop, but not mainly focusing on low pricing, but on trendy design...!
Our targetgroup is used to buy modern oak furniture in a reallife store/showroom, but we want to be innovative by starting selling from a trendy webshop!
- Please include the company name in the logo: meubelaanhuis.nl
- We like to place our new logo mainly on a white background. It would be great however, if the logo has a white lining so we can also use it on coloured surfaces.
- A modern, fresh and trendy logo
- Idea to use in the logo: a house, delivery men unloading from a truck
- You are free to experment with different fons, both for the 'meubel' as 'aanhuis.nl' part of the logo.
- Currently we use in our website the following colours, perhaps you can use as a basis to work with:
Brown/gray (in reference to wood furniture, (#3B362E in headers and #665C49 in subheaders)
Green #92D404 (in reference that it is SAFE to shop online and COMFORTABLE delivery to the clients home)
Optional: Red #EC6139 (an extra colour used in the website when prices are mentioned on the site)
- I am not at all a great designer, but I tried to make something out of it, perhaps to start out with (please refer to attachment).

Tracking Rick Scott's every move, liberal group says he's 'gift that keeps on giving'
Everywhere Gov. Rick Scott goes, they go.
With high-definition Canon video cameras, the political operatives have traveled tens of thousands of miles in the past year, recording every Scott speech, event and interaction with reporters, feeding it to The Vault, a colossal database housed in an office building in Washington.
The two full-time staffers for American Bridge don't everconfront Scott,but they have complicated life for the Republican seeking re-election in November, amplifying his propensity to evade questions, generating news coverage with their video clips and backing up state Democrats who will be outspent by Scott and the GOP.
"Tracking" is not a new phenomenon in politics yetthe liberalAmerican Bridge is injecting it with steroids— 42 staffers in 38 states have traveled more than 487,000 miles this election cycle — and carving a new trail in opposition research.
The effort represents another turn in the fast-moving trend of outside groups and money in elections.
"Florida is a place where we like to work," American Bridge president Brad Woodhouse, a blunt-talking operative with glasses and close-cropped graying hair, said from his Washington office. "Rick Scott's been the gift that keeps on giving." More from Alex Leary of Tampa Bay Times, @LearyReports here.

Afghanistan is the war that hardly anyone dares oppose but about which, at the same time, not many people are actually enthusiastic. Iraq and Iran are both of great strategic importance by virtue of their size, their location, their natural resources, their history and their stage of development. Afghanistan is not in the same category. It borders Pakistan, to be sure, but otherwise its strategic importance has come mostly from the fact that, while no one was paying attention, the Taliban allowed al Qaeda training camps to flourish there. To say that most Afghans live in an earlier millenium is an understatement.
Not long ago I had dinner with a senior officer from Central Command who has been assigned to Afghanistan for a considerable time. His assessment was bleak: the country is so poor and so backward that trying to bring it into the modern world is, he thinks, a fool's errand. In his view, the most we should do is keep drones flying overhead so that if Islamic terrorists start training in the open again, we can blow them up.
On the other hand, my friend Nate Fick, who has fought there, has been writing about the importance of Afghanistan in scholarly journals. As he explained it to me, his concern is less about any real strategic significance of Afghanistan than about the public relations setback if we are perceived as losing there.
Other long-time supporters of our government's war against Islamic terrorism are strong advocates for our effort in Afghanistan. Yesterday I got an email from Pete Hegseth, leader of Vets for Freedom, a man I admire greatly. His email about Afghanistan included the following comments:
Yesterday reports surfaced of the possibility of US/UK talks with the Taliban. I wrote a quick post about it on NRO's "The Corner" yesterday, but plan to dig much deeper. Reports like this–alongside domestic polls that show eroding support for the Afghan war and Presidential statements hinting at an exit strategy–are a troubling trend, as our troops seek to gain the upper hand in Afghanistan….
This morning the New York Times reports that the Iraq troop withdrawal could be accelerated. In a post at NRO, I ask the question–"Why not use the early drawdown in Iraq as an opportunity to quickly shift even more troops to Afghanistan?" Read post here: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=M2I2NzRhMTg5NDgwNjc5YTY1YzQwODdmOTI0Y2ZiZTQ
As the fight intensifies in Afghanistan, VFF expects the domestic war debate to look a lot like the Iraq debate did in 2006-2007. This unfortunate reality gives great cause, and urgency, to our efforts to support this important mission.
I happily defer to Pete on all things military, but is it really true that "winning" in Afghanistan is as important, strategically, as winning in Iraq? Or in Iran? And is victory in Afghanistan possible, if victory is defined to include, not just the absence of radical terrorist training camps operating in plain sight, but also the Afghans entering the modern political world, something they may be centuries away from doing?
Michael Yon is one of the great war correspondents of our time. His latest dispatch from Afghanistan is excellent. With colorful prose and lots of pictures, he follows American [Oops, sorry, force of habit: this particular group of soldiers is British.] soldiers as they carry out a mission against the Taliban. Here is a typical photo, of a soldier trying to keep domestic animals from ruining an Afghan family's garden:
Yon thinks that we need a new, more Afghan-friendly strategy in that country:
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and General Stanley McChrystal put sharp restrictions on the ROE (Rules of Engagement), which caused many armchair generals to throw tantrums that we are endangering our troops. (Years of loose ROE clearly did not work; during the cowboy years since 2001, Afghanistan got worse.)
Secretary Gates, General McChrystal and troops all over Afghanistan are making difficult decisions. Only time will reveal if McChrystal and crew can turn the war around. If our folks – the Coalition in general – can reverse the slide, they will deserve the same respect that was earned for the turn-around in Iraq.
He may turn out to be right. What gives me a sense of foreboding about Afghanistan, however, is no nuance of strategy. It is the long, sad history of that primitive corner of the world. I sincerely doubt that we can achieve in Afghanistan what we have achieved in Iraq, and may accomplish someday in Iran. Modernity, for Afghanistan, is centuries away.
Don't get me wrong: we will support the Obama administration's Afghanistan policy wholeheartedly as long as it appears designed to advance our national interests. But I, personally, am concerned about whether our troops in Afghanistan are being asked to do the impossible, for no clearly articulated reason.

Cee Lo Green's Christmas Special to Feature 'The Voice' Singers
Cee Lo Green is channeling Santa and making some dreams come true this holiday season. The eccentric coach of 'The Voice' is snagging some of the show's present and former contestants to join him on his upcoming Christmas TV special!
"I have truly kept my word and remained committed to everyone," Green told Billboard, adding that he recently signed season 2 finalist Juliet Simms to a management contract. "I'm actually doing a Christmas special — next week I'm filming. And so I've invited about, I think it's going to be 19 in total. All of my people are coming from Season 3 as we stand, and I'm going back to Season 1, getting Nakia, Nicci, Vicci, Jamar, Cheesa."
The special will be to promote Green's Christmas album, 'Magic Moment,' out Oct. 30. He duets with fellow coach Christina Aguilera on one of the tracks, 'Baby, It's Cold Outside.'
Green also dished on the changes to 'The Voice' this season, both in format and in his own approach to choosing his team — he's looking for people who are like him! (Good luck with that, Cee Lo — you're one of a kind for sure!)
"I'm looking for a certainty of self and I'm looking for someone to be mindful enough and present enough in their own life and career and aspiration to know exactly what they want. I kind of only want who wants me," he explained. "And you can kind almost see the similarities and likeness in these different pairings. So, my group of people, they do kind of resemble me. But sometimes, something out of the ordinary, something extraordinary will happen in an artist or in a performance that everybody's compelled to get the fortune, turnaround, and everybody wants it," he said. "You have to sell it a little bit harder."
And if all else fails, there's always the new feature: the steal. Still, Green's not too phased by it. "I think that's the only thing that has changed is we've grown and we've evolved over a period of time," he said. "It is so well executed and so well articulated. And even with the new additions that we've made to the system and how it runs, we even adjusted to those because they were very exciting and it kind of revitalized something that could become routine," he added. "Network television has a status quo that must be met at all times. So sometimes it can feel like a box to be in. But here, it's very lively and energetic and very liberal in the way that they allow us to be alive and advocate that organic energy there."

Police are warning people not to handle mysterious silver canisters containing a toxic gas that are washing up on beaches in central Queensland.
The silver canisters, which have been found on beaches since February last year, contain toxic aluminium phosphide which can be fatal if inhaled or ingested.
Aluminium phosphide is a colourless, flammable and toxic gas.
Mild exposure by inhalation can cause a ringing in the ears, fatigue, nausea and pressure in the chest.
Police have received reports of the containers being found between Lady Elliot Island and Mabuiag Island, with the most recent being discovered at Zilzie near Rockhampton.
Authorities don't know where the canisters are coming from.
The canisters are 30cm high and 15cm in diameter. People who find them are urged not to handle them and immediately call Triple Zero.

Joss Whedon: "The Avengers" was arduous
Joss Whedon found making 'The Avengers' ''extremely arduous''.
The filmmaker was relieved to take a break from the blockbuster to spend just 12 days shooting Shakespearean comedy 'Much Ado About Nothing' and says working on something new brought back his focus on the comic book tale.
He said: ''Making 'The Avengers' was very important to me, but it was also extremely arduous. I missed my friends and I missed my home, so I decided to throw them all on camera which is the only way I seem to know to relate to people.
''But I was blissfully happy when we were shooting Much Ado About Nothing - and it was actually one week and three weekends - and then I went back to cutting 'Avengers' much better.
''I was in the very early process - my first assembly was very long. When I came back from 'Much Ado', without any rancor or confusion, I was able to cut the film down to length and readily focus on the things that mattered.''
Joss - who has been advising on the forthcoming 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' series and will soon start work on 'The Avengers 2' - admits he is in ''constant danger'' of burning out because he always gives himself too much to do.
He told Deadline: ''I'm in constant danger of burning out. Look, this is not a healthy person talking to you. 'I'm going to make a sequel to the biggest movie I've ever made!' ... 'Perhaps a TV show would go along nicely with that...' I always order the entire left side of the menu and then wonder why I'm full.''

Paul Konerko thought the curtain call that followed his third-inning home run Tuesday was something special.
But "after seven curtain calls, it was no big deal," Konerko said after the White Sox gave a zealous sellout crowd of 40,717 a wide spectrum of achievements to relish in a 14-2 humbling of defending World Series champion Boston in Game 1 of the best-of-five American League Division Series at toasty U.S. Cellular Field.
Third baseman Joe Crede had a one-word description of the stunning manner in which the White Sox blew out the Red Sox.
"Wow," Crede said.
The White Sox won their first postseason home game since Game 1 of the 1959 World Series with relentless hitting. They doubled their entire run total from their last postseason appearance, a three-game sweep by Seattle in the 2000 division series.
They also outslugged the AL's top hitting team with five home runs, ranging from Konerko's solo shot in the third inning to Scott Podsednik's three-run shot in the sixth that capped a four-run inning and was Podsednik's first homer since Sept. 30, 2004, at St. Louis.
The five home runs, including two from A.J. Pierzynski and a two-run shot by Juan Uribe in the fourth, tied a division series record set last year by St. Louis.
That was more than enough support for Jose Contreras, who extended his impressive post-All-Star run by limiting Boston's formidable lineup to two runs over 72/3 innings.
"Everyone is focusing on 14 runs," Konerko said. "I'm focusing on two runs. That's the difference."
Contreras limited the hard-hitting twosome of David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez to two hits in eight at-bats and kept leadoff batter Johnny Damon hitless in four at-bats.
"I think he exorcised all the demons," White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper said after Contreras became the first White Sox pitcher since Wilson Alvarez in 1993 to win a playoff game.
Contreras was 2-4 lifetime with an 11.67 ERA against Boston entering Tuesday's game but pitched up to his 11-2 second-half record by keeping Boston's hitters off balance with a Bruce Sutter-like split-finger fastball to complement his 94-m.p.h. fastball.
Contreras didn't walk a batter and threw 70 of his 100 pitches for strikes. He should be reasonably fresh to start Game 5 if the series goes the distance.
"He was tremendous," Cooper said. "By beating the Red Sox, the slate is all clear for him. He knows where he's at and what he's doing as far as the run he's on and the confidence he's got."
The White Sox feel the same way about their once-struggling offense that took advantage of Matt Clement's lack of command.
They "small-balled" their way to two first-inning runs, utilizing two hit batsmen, a sacrifice, a stolen base and two singles. Pierzynski's three-run homer capped the five-run inning, the largest postseason outburst by a White Sox team since the third inning of Game 1 of the '59 World Series, when the White Sox scored seven runs.
"If this team has a weakness, it's not the lack of talent," hitting coach Greg Walker said. "It's a lack of discipline. I'm happy for them. They did well.
"I saw it in their eyes the last two days. They seemed more focused about what they wanted to accomplish. If we're disciplined and we get a pitch in the strike zone, we're a pretty good hitting team."
Perhaps it was a tribute to the Sox's discipline and Contreras' control that the White Sox drew more walks than Boston3-0even though the Red Sox led the AL in walks while the White Sox ranked 11th.
The White Sox never let up on offense, defense or the mound, where Contreras kept his composure after two singles, a Crede error, a wild pitch and Kevin Millar's double in the fourth cut the Sox's lead to 6-2.
Manager Ozzie Guillen went to the mound to keep Contreras focused, and he retired 14 of the next 15 batters before leaving to an ovation.
"We saw a much more mature pitcher," Boston manager Terry Francona said.
The Sox's defense didn't let up. Right fielder Jermaine Dye made a diving catch to rob Edgar Renteria of a hit to start the eighth. Center fielder Aaron Rowand crashed into the fence in a failed attempt to catch John Olerud's double, and Podsednik leaped to the top of the left-field fence to catch Tony Graffanino's drive to end the game.
After Podsednik's homer in the sixth, his teammates playfully gave him the silent treatment.
They also were amused when Pierzynski failed on a bunt attempt before cranking a Clement pitch over the fence in left-center.
But the White Sox didn't declare themselves a power team after their five-homer performance ended a streak of 25 innings without a Sox home run.
"It doesn't mean anything for [Wednesday night]," Pierzynski said. "[The Red Sox] aren't going to quit or go away. They've done things that are very special."
Said Cooper: "Let's face it, these guys hold the [championship] belt. We've got to come out with the same energy."
The large lead allowed Guillen to pull some of his starting players, but the reserves maintained the intensity and production.
Willie Harris had a pinch-hit RBI single in the eighth to end the scoring, and Cliff Politte and Neal Cotts pitched 11/3 scoreless innings to culminate one of the most festive victories in Sox history.
While neutralizing Ortiz, the Sox also ended Ramirez's 18-game postseason hitting streak.
"Getting those two guys out, it sent a message," Pierzynski said.

I've noticed there was a 4 pages thread on Mattycollector about the possibility of including Octavia in the MOTUC line and I've also read Scott's answer to fan's question in the other thread about it.
Lot of fans quoted my research and theories about the subject.
But, I ask that you don't use my theories and research to challenge Mattel.
I only post it for historical entertainment.
Only Mattel knows the Legal status of past and present characters.
I am certain Mattel wants these characters too. We must trust them to handle character rights on their own.
Copyrights issue are a complicated matter.
A piece of paper with info about who first drew a character does not tell us the whole story.
We do not know the contracts Mattel has/had with other companies.
So we can only speculate only on the origins of this art.
MOTU is an almost 30 years old property. Lot of the original art is all over the place, and it may happens that, from time to time, fans or collectors came across images or informations people currently at Mattel don't have or haven't seen before (for example the Gygor prototype).
When we find this art, the best we can do is post it and hope it is maybe helpful to Mattel.
But only Mattel know if these images add valuable info to the rights status of certain characters. And we have to wait and see if they do. They are not obligated to tell us these things.
Here are my historical design theories, all in once place for your entertainment.
First, there is the Filmation Model Sheet AlessandraF posted on Matty's forum.
Model Sheet are the characters model turnarounds used as reference by the animators during the production of a cartoon.
The one posted by Alessandra is the final model sheet for the character and not a simple sketch.
It's taken from the POP series Villains Models Compilations (but she also appears in the single episodes model packs as well)
Octavia's Model Sheet design was added to POP in 1985.
As noted, it's labeled "Mattel Toy."
It seems that almost every character (or vehicles) in the POP series that were labeled "Mattel Toy" on the Model Sheets were characters that originated at Mattel as toys that Mattel specifically requested to incorporate in the cartoon.
You can see the same label on many other model sheets, like the Star Sister, Sea Harp, Netossa, almost all wave 2 characters, Colonel Blast (Rio Blast), Snout Spout, Tung Lashor, etc.
My theory is that Octavia was probably another toy in development at Mattel that was pitched to Filmation.
But again, this proves nothing about ownership and rights!
You won't find the same "Mattel Toy" label on the POP main cast model sheets (including the Evil Horde). Those appear to be developed by Filmation or by Filmation in conjunction with Mattel. My own belief is the creation of those particular characters is what probably is behind the complicated POP characters rights's situation we heard about many years ago when BCI was working with both ER and Mattel.
Let's talk about the toy design for Octavia.
I can't show you the art as it is in a private collection that I have been lucky enough to see.
But I can describe it to you.
It's important to keep in mind this is a MOTU figure design, not a POP one - it was developed to be included in the MOTU action figure line.
The original pencil drawing by Ted Mayer, "Octopus Woman" is dated June the 7th, 1984.
It's definitely a female horde member: she has the horde insignia on her chest, her legs and on the band on her left arm. She has a simple outfit, with a large belt and some sort of wide sleeves. She has 6 short tentacles in total (3 for each side), and black, short hairs.
While certain details doesn't match the final Filmation model sheet design, she looks like a preliminary version of Octavia.
The color rendering of her toy design has even more differences from the Filmation model.
It's the same pencil sketch, photocopied and pasted on a colored board, then rendered with what appears to be inks. She has purple skin, but the tentacles are green while her dress is blue. The date is 7-10-1984.
She's part of a large number of similar designs for produced and unproduced characters by Mattel.
My hopes are maybe we could get a toy version of the toy design done at Mattel on June 7th, 1984.
The coloring and details may have been different from the Filmation one, and she may have to have a different name. But, in spirit, she would still be "Octavia"
Going back to the subject of this thread, Scott's response about Octavia ownership was:
You all know that I think she may have been originated at Mattel, but of course this doesn't mean they have rights to produce a MOTU figure of her.Although this sheet is labeled "Mattel toy" Octavia was a Filmation character and we do not have access to her at this time
Please do not misinterpret my historical theories on where designs were created to have anything to do with ownership and rights! They are not the same!!! Thanks.
