The 6 P’s
PRSI can be separated into six phases:
Paralysis and Sedation
Passage of the Endotracheal tube
Post intubation care
It is important that each member of the team is familiar with all phases of PRSI. This allows preparation to take place concurrently with ongoing patient management.
This is an essential phase in the conduct of safe PRSI. It provides an oxygen safety buffer to prevent precipitous desaturation occurring in the period of hypoventilation and apnoea, prior to and during laryngoscopy. Desaturation below an oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 70 %, places patients at risk of cardiovascular instability, hypoxic organ damage and death (Mort 2004).
Desaturation is a significant complication of PRSI. The Scottish Emergency Medical Retrieval Service found that 15.4 % (32 of 208 patients) had a desaturation episode during the procedure (below 90 % or a reduction in >10 % from initial SpO2) (Wimalasena et al. 2014).
The aim of preoxygenation is to replace the air in the alveoli with an enriched oxygen mixture, particularly in the functional residual capacity of the lungs. This will act as a reservoir for the body during apnoea. In ideal conditions this offers several minutes before desaturation occurs (Fig. 3.2, Box 3.1). Unfortunately, conditions for PRSI are rarely ideal, and critically ill patients with increased metabolic demand, hypovolaemia, reduced cardiac output and possible lung injury will desaturate far quicker than this.
Box 3.1: Approximate Time for Desaturation to 90 % After Full Preoxygenation (Benumof et al. 1997)
Normal 70 kg adult = 8 min
Moderately ill 70 kg adult = 4.8 min
Normal 10 kg child = 3.4 min
Obese 127 kg adult = 2.6 min
3.2.1 Preoxygenation Strategies
Preoxygenation should be performed using a tight-fitting face mask with a reservoir and ≥15 L/min of oxygen in order to provide a high (>0.9) fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) during inspiration. In hospital this is done using either a standard anaesthetic circuit or a disposable Mapleson C (sometimes called a ‘Waters’ circuit) with adjustable pressure limiting (APL) valve (Fig. 3.3). This also allows an element of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to be applied, as long as the face mask is tight-fitting. These systems require a constant high flow of oxygen and a tight seal to allow manual ventilation, neither of which can be guaranteed in the pre-hospital setting. The default system in the emergency situation is a self-inflating bag-valve-mask (BVM), of which there are many varieties, including many single-use versions. Some older versions of BVMs did not have one-way exhalation valves near the mask and therefore allowed entrainment of air into the face mask at lower oxygen flow rates. These would deliver relatively low FiO2 (<0.4) during spontaneous ventilation (Mills et al. 1991; Nimmagadda et al. 2000). This is not the case with the majority of BVM systems currently in use, however, it is always important to check the type of BVM being used.
Mapleson C circuit With adjustable pressure limiting (APL) valve being used to apply CPAP
Even when a BVM has a one-way exhalation valve, there is variation in the FiO2 delivered by different BVM systems in common use. As an example, two single-use BVMs with exactly 15 L/min of oxygen attached, were compared for both ease of breathing and delivered FiO2 (using a calibrated oxygen analyser in a t-piece behind the face mask).
The Ambu Single Patient Use Resuscitator (SPUR) II (Fig. 3.4a) has an extremely low resistance inspiratory/expiratory single-shutter (one-way) valve at the patient end (Fig. 3.4b) which provided only minimal resistance to breathing. The valve prevents entrainment of air during inhalation, so only oxygen from the bag is inhaled if the mask is correctly sealed on the patient’s face. Even during large inspiratory breaths, the FiO2 remained above 0.9 at all times and at normal tidal volumes was 0.95. The large safety inspiratory valve at the reservoir bag end of the BVM assembly (Fig. 3.4c) is designed to allow air to be entrained if the reservoir bag is completely empty, to prevent asphyxiation. This only opened a little even during large tidal volumes; hence the FiO2 only dropped slightly due to indrawn air mixing with the oxygen.

The Marshall Classic Manual Resuscitator (Fig. 3.5a) has a Laerdal type ‘duck-billed’ inspiratory valve and a flat silicone ring one-way expiratory valve at the patient end (Fig. 3.5b). The ‘duck-billed’ valve is subjectively more difficult to breathe through. The additional negative pressure generated, along with the small size and lightweight safety inspiratory valve (Fig. 3.5c), means that air is entrained through the valve even during relatively small volume breaths. This reduced the measured FiO2 from 0.9 at normal tidal volume down to 0.75 during larger inspiratory breaths. It is useful to know that both the ease of breathing and the inspired FiO2 can be improved significantly by gently squeezing the bag in time with the patient’s inspiration.

Even more important than the design of the valves is a good seal between the mask and the patient’s face. Gas will always take the path of least resistance. During inspiration with a poor seal, gas will be entrained around the edges of the mask rather than drawing from the oxygen in the bag and reservoir via the one-way inspiratory valve. The requirement for a good face seal also applies to disposable non-rebreathe reservoir masks; the path of least resistance is also around the edge of the mask rather than through the one-way valve (although the resistance through the valve does tend to be less than in a BVM).
With a good seal and a patient with reasonable inspiratory effort, a BVM with a reservoir bag and >15 L/min will provide a high FiO2 (>0.9) and avoids the requirement to change face mask during the RSI (Nimmagadda et al. 2000). It also means that ventilation can be easily assisted if inspiratory breaths are shallow or if SpO2 drops whilst waiting for the muscle relaxant to work.
BVM preoxygenation does, however, require a competent additional person to maintain the tight face seal whilst the team is preparing for RSI. It may be more practical (and also possibly less daunting for the patient), to use a well-fitting ‘non-rebreathe’ face mask with reservoir bag for preoxygenation. This is held in place with an elastic strap placed behind the head. Basic models are not ideal as they have a thin plastic edge that may not create a good seal, and an open hole in one side of the mask that allows air to be entrained if the oxygen supply fails (Fig. 3.6). Both of these factors can result in a relatively low FiO2 (0.6–0.7), even at very high oxygen flow rates. Newer rebreathe masks have softer cushioned edges, which improve the seal, and have no open holes in the sides of the mask, thereby increasing the chance of delivering an FiO2 closer to 0.9 whilst freeing up an extra person (Fig. 3.7). With additional nasal cannula oxygen, as described below, this can increase the FiO2 further (Fig. 3.8). Clearly if the patient requires assistance to maintain airway patency or needs assisted ventilation, this benefit of freeing a person is lost.

Three minutes of normal tidal volume breaths is acceptable preoxygenation for most patients. This preoxygenation can be improved by asking the patient to fully exhale and inhale (vital capacity breaths), although most patients in the pre-hospital setting are unable to co-operate with such a request. Analgesia prior to preoxygenation may improve the effectiveness by reducing pain from chest trauma and increasing inspiratory volumes.
In agitated patients it may be necessary to use sedation to facilitate preoxygenation. Small doses of Midazolam (1–2 mg) or Ketamine (10–40 mg) should be titrated to effect. Weingart et al (2015) reported the successful use of Ketamine 1 mg/kg (+/− further 0.5 mg/kg aliquots) to facilitate preoxygenation in agitated patients. This then allowed 3 min of pre-oxygenation, before full sedation and a muscle relaxant were given. Although based on a relatively small convenience sample of patients unable to tolerate preoxygenation due to delirium, they demonstrated the ability to increase mean pre-laryngoscopy SpO2 from 89.9 to 98.8 %, and reported no complications such as pre-muscle relaxant apnoea, peri-intubation emesis, cardiac arrest or death, from doing so. Preoxygenation was achieved with a high flow non-rebreathe oxygen mask, or non-invasive CPAP if SpO2 <95 %. They commented that facilitating preoxygenation in this manner avoids the risks of proceeding to RSI without an adequate oxygen reserve in the patient, and the potential risks of peri-intubation BVM ventilation that may be required to prevent desaturation; such as gastric insufflation and aspiration. They termed this ‘delayed sequence intubation’ although it is essentially just sedation to facilitate preoxygenation. This concept has been advocated on the PHA course for several years.
SpO2 will fall precipitously during the 45–60 s of apnoea whilst awaiting onset of muscle relaxation, if starting SpO2 is already low. In these patients, if already receiving oxygen through a BVM, it may be advisable to gently augment the patient’s own respiratory effort prior to induction in order to maintain a safe oxygen saturation throughout the procedure. CPAP can also be applied to improve oxygenation if it is possible to fit an external positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) valve to the BVM.
If ventilation is continued following induction and apnoea, cricoid pressure will help to avoid the associated gastric insufflation and reduce the risk of aspiration, although this may make ventilation more difficult in some cases. BVM ventilations should aim to be delivered slowly with both low volume (6–7 mL/kg) and low rate, in order to avoid inspiratory pressures sufficient to overcome the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure.
There is evidence that head-up positioning delays the time to desaturation during apnoea (Lane et al. 2005; Ramkumar et al. 2011). It may also reduce the risk of passive regurgitation. This may be achieved by using a semi-recumbent position on a stretcher trolley or, in trauma patients requiring spinal immobilisation, a reverse-trendelenburg position, with the head of the spinal board/scoop stretcher/trolley raised 30° above the feet.
3.2.2 Apnoeic Oxygenation
Although described in the medical literature for over a century, the application of apnoeic oxygenation to pre-hospital airway management procedures is relatively recent (Weingart et al. 2011). It utilises the physiological principle that even without respiratory effort, approximately 250 mL/min oxygen is taken from the alveoli into the bloodstream. If oxygen is supplied to a patent upper airway, a mass flow of gas from the pharynx to alveoli maintains this diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream, and in doing so, maintains oxygenation without ventilation. The Greater Sydney Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) has included apnoeic oxygenation in their PRSI standard operating procedure (SOP) since 2011. During the preoxygenation phase, whilst a non-rebreather mask or BVM set at 15 L/min oxygen is used to preoxygenate, nasal cannulae are applied and set to 5 L/min oxygen, as tolerated (Fig. 3.8). After induction drugs are administered, the flow rate of the nasal cannulae is increased to 15 L/min until the endotracheal tube is secured (Wimalasena et al. 2015). During the 22-month period prior to apnoeic oxygenation, 22.6 % of patients had a desaturation episode below 93 % during RSI, compared to 16.5 % of patients in the 22-month period after introduction of apnoeic oxygenation to the SOP. They suggest this simple and inexpensive technique is of clear clinical benefit to critically ill and injured patients undergoing PRSI.
Performance of a rapid sequence intubation is not immediate and requires time for preparation. The time spent in the preparation phase is never wasted and will increase the chances of a swift and safe intubation. There are four elements to preparation for PRSI (Box 3.2).
Box 3.2: Preparation
Prepare equipment and drugs
Position patient and team
Protect (c-spine and cricoid pressure)
Preassessment should be easily remembered with a familiar <C>ABCDE approach. It is a similar, but much more rapid assessment, to that which occurs before any anaesthetic in the hospital environment.
18.104.22.168 Catastrophic Haemorrhage
Catastrophic haemorrhage should be controlled at the earliest opportunity during pre-hospital management. This may involve use of wound packing and direct pressure, haemostatic agents and tourniquets. Reducing blood loss and promoting clotting at this earliest stage, not only is beneficial to the patient overall, but also promotes haemodynamic optimisation in preparation for PRSI. Splinting fractures of the pelvis and long bones (particularly femur) is important and will also minimise blood loss, but this occurs after assessment of the Circulation (Sect. 22.214.171.124).
The main concerns are to achieve maximum airway patency to allow preoxygenation prior to RSI, and to be able to predict the likelihood of a “difficult airway.”
The definition of a difficult airway is that a trained clinician experiences difficulties with mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation or both (American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 2013). Difficult mask ventilation is defined as a situation when it is impossible to maintain SpO2 above 90 % or it is not possible to reverse signs of inadequate ventilation with a BVM and 100 % oxygen. The incidence of difficulty in airway maintenance in trauma patients can be up to 18 % (Smith and Dejoy 2001). The incidence of a difficult airway is likely to be higher in the pre-hospital environment, for reasons mentioned earlier. Airway assessment should therefore include a judgment of the likely ease of airway maintenance with a BVM, as well as the potential for difficult intubation. The anticipation of difficulty may require a change of the initial management plan (Box 3.3).
Box 3.3: Reasons for Difficulty in Maintaining an Airway
The presence of a beard
The edentulous patient
Difficult intubation is defined in many different ways in various studies, making comparative reporting difficult. The 2013 guidelines of the ASA divide difficult intubation into two parts: difficult laryngoscopy and difficult intubation. Difficult laryngoscopy is defined as being unable to visualise any portion of the vocal cords after multiple attempts at conventional laryngoscopy (i.e. Cormack-Lehane grade ≥3 (Fig. 3.20)), and difficult tracheal intubation as the requirement for multiple attempts. (This was previously described by the same group as more than 3 attempts or requiring more than 10 min with conventional laryngoscopy (ASA 1993)). Failed intubation is then described as failure to place the endotracheal tube after multiple attempts (ASA 2013). The widespread use of alternative devices that provide indirect views of the larynx (e.g. Airtraq™ etc.) adds further complexity to these definitions.
The Whatcom Medic One service reported a pre-hospital failed intubation rate of 3.4 % (2978 patients), although some intubated patients required three attempts (Wang et al. 2004). This is identical to the failure rate reported by Fakhry et al. (Fakhry et al. 2006), again a paramedic service allowing up to three attempts at intubation (175 patients). In 1993 London HEMS, a physician led service, reported a requirement for surgical cricothyroidotomy in 7.7 % of 143 patients requiring advanced airway management on scene (Xeropotamos et al. 1993). Since then PRSI training has much improved. The London HEMS data 1991–2012 presented by Lockey et al. (2014) included 7256 patients requiring advanced airway management. An immediate surgical airway was performed in 46 patients (0.6 %), and just 52 of 7210 patients (0.7 %) required a rescue technique for failed intubation.
Breckwoldt et al. (2011) looked to characterise factors contributing to difficult pre-hospital intubation (defined as more than 3 attempts or grade 3 or 4 view) in their physician led teams (2004–2005). In this series of 276 intubation attempts, 3 patients (1.1 %) required a fourth intubation attempt, and 4 patients (1.4 %) required rescue techniques for failed intubation. Difficult intubation (36 patients (13 %)), was significantly associated with short neck, body mass index (BMI) >30, anatomical abnormalities (micrognathia (small lower jaw), ankylosing spondylitis), mouth opening (<3 cm), neck/face trauma, laryngeal oedema, and limited space on scene. Unexpected difficult intubation occurred in 5 % of patients in whom physicians had predicted no difficulties.
In a series of 400 pre-hospital intubations by the physician-led trauma team in London (2007–2008), initial view at laryngoscopy was grade 3 in 12 % of patients and grade 4 in 5 % of patients, although it is not commented upon as to whether an improved view was subsequently achieved (Lockey et al. 2013). Physicians were asked to predict whether laryngoscopy was likely to be difficult, and this ‘quick look’ assessment generated sensitivity of 0.597 and specificity of 0.763, with positive predictive value of 0.336 and negative predictive value of 0.904, demonstrating some utility of this method, although not in isolation.
The Modified Mallampati classification of airway assessment (Fig. 3.9) is a commonly used tool in the hospital environment to predict difficult intubation (likelihood of difficulty increases from Class 1 to Class 4). Unfortunately it requires an awake and cooperative patient, so it is usually not useful in patients requiring pre-hospital RSI. Other predictors of difficult intubation may be present (Box 3.4). The ‘LEMON’ assessment tool, is one system commonly taught for emergency airway assessment which combines most of these factors into a mnemonic (Box 3.5).

Box 3.4: Reasons for Difficult Intubation
Large/prominent upper incisors
Limited mouth opening
Reduced range of movement of the head/neck (MILS)
Reduced sterno-mental distance (“no-neck”), thyro-mental distance (“chinless”)
Swollen/oedematous tongue or laryngeal/pharyngeal tissue
Previous maxillo-facial surgery or radiotherapy
Box 3.5: LEMON Airway Assessment
Look externally (obesity, short wide neck, small mouth, beard, lower facial trauma, high arched palate, large prominent teeth)
Evaluate the 3:3:2 rule (3 cm mouth opening, 3 cm distance tip of chin to hyoid bone, 2 cm between hyoid bone and thyroid notch)
Obstruction (stridor, foreign objects, pooling secretions, neck mass/swelling)
Neck mobility (immobilisation (MILS)/fixation, degenerative disease)
Clinical Signs of Potential Difficult Intubation or Ventilation
Obese patients or those with short muscular necks can be difficult to intubate and ventilate. Excess soft tissue around the airway may hinder displacement during laryngoscopy. This may affect the view. These tissues may also collapse over laryngeal structures making manual ventilation difficult. Two-handed mask ventilation with an oropharyngeal airway may be required.
Edentulous patients are often easy to intubate but can be difficult to manually ventilate. The lack of teeth leaves less support for the cheeks, and as a result the face mask seal may be poor. This can be remedied with a two-handed technique bunching the facial tissue up into the mask to achieve a seal. Again an oropharyngeal airway may make ventilation easier. Early intubation or use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) may be required if ventilation is inadequate.
Patients with micrognathia (receding chin) usually have an anterior larynx. There is a reduced thyromental distance: tip of chin to thyroid cartilage (Adam’s apple) of <6.5 cm with the neck extended. This measurement is therefore not practical when cervical spine injury is a concern. An impression of micrognathia should still be a visual clue. These patients do not have enough space to displace tissue forward to allow intubation. Laryngeal manipulation such as backward upward rightward pressure (BURP) and a bougie will often be required. (Note: Male patients often grow a beard to hide a small chin).
A reduced sternomental distance (tip of chin to sternum <12.5 cm) is predictive of a difficult intubation. Again, this measurement is based on the head in an extended position and is therefore not usually practical. Subjective appearance may add to your assessment of difficulty.
As well as sometimes hiding micrognathia, a beard makes it difficult to achieve an adequate seal with a face mask to allow ventilation. Applying lubricating jelly to the beard and using a two-person technique will improve the situation. An LMA may be required to ventilate if intubation is not possible.
A prominent overbite (protruding upper teeth) can impede laryngoscopy. It may be difficult to manoeuvre the laryngoscope without levering on the upper teeth. External pressure on the larynx (above the cricoid cartilage) i.e. BURP, and use of a Macintosh No. 3 blade, inserted fully inside the mouth (past the top teeth), may help.
In patients with poor neck mobility, the larynx will, in effect, be more anterior. In patients with no risk of neck instability, elevating the head further to compensate for reduced extension of the head along with thyroid pressure and a bougie, gives the best chance of success. If there is a chance of underlying instability and risk of spinal cord injury (e.g. severe rheumatoid arthritis), no head or neck movement should take place. The only movement that is appropriate is jaw distraction.
Bleeding (Oral) Patients
Management of patients with blood in the oropharynx can present a particular challenge to the intubator. These patients are best managed in a slightly head-down position. This allows blood to pool in the upper pharynx away from the vocal cords. Adequate suction is the key to success; two suction devices may be required.
A predicted difficult intubation may actually be easy but conversely some “easy” intubations turn out to be difficult. This necessitates the need for a fallback plan or “Plan B” (see text later).
The initial assessment will have determined the urgency for PRSI. A hypoxic patient with a poor respiratory effort will prompt a more rapid response than one with adequate oxygenation and ventilation but who has a reduced GCS.
If a pneumothorax has been diagnosed, this should have been treated at least with needle thoracocentesis (Appendix “Needle Thoracocentesis”) prior to intubation. Positive pressure ventilation can rapidly change a pneumothorax into a tension pneumothorax, resulting in profound cardiovascular collapse. A thoracostomy ± drain (Appendix “Thoracostomy & Chest Drain Insertion”) must be performed immediately after PRSI.
(Note: Thoracostomy without a drain is only permissible in a ventilated patient. If the patient is breathing spontaneously, a thoracostomy will create an open pneumothorax, which will not improve ventilation. A valve system to prevent air entrainment during inspiration is therefore required i.e., a chest drain. (A needle/cannula thoracostomy is acceptable before RSI as this allows the release of a “tension” but is too small to allow any significant entrainment of air during inspiration)).
Intravenous (IV) access is required and should be checked with a 10 mL flush to ensure patency. This must be adequately secured (IV sites are particularly vulnerable in the pre-hospital environment.) Ideally two sites of IV access are obtained prior to RSI in major trauma. This allows rapid infusion of blood products/fluids in one whilst leaving another available for drugs, including those for PHA. It is, however, not always practical or possible due to limb injuries or patient agitation.
In the critically ill patient intraosseous (IO) access may be appropriate if two attempts at IV access have failed or venous access is clearly very poor. Although originally only used in children, adult IO access for emergency resuscitation has become an accepted technique over the last few years, partly due to successes reported in military use (Cooper et al. 2007). IV access is still preferable, as fluids will flow more easily, whereas IO access requires pressurisation of fluid bags or use of a 50 ml syringe and 3-way tap to achieve adequate flow rates for fluid resuscitation. All RSI drugs can be administered via IO access, with intubation success rates (first pass intubation and grade of view) that match those of IV induction (Barnard et al. 2014).

Religion More Likely In Children of Married Couples
According to this article from the Chicago Tribune, kids with divorced parents—even when the divorce is amicable—are less likely to be religious later in life.
This study shows that churches will have to take some new and drastic steps in addressing this lapse when trying to find potential leaders in the next generation. Some theories have been formed in regards to this problem; Elizabeth Marquardt, an American studies professor at Lake Forest College, says many current adults that went through this didn’t feel understood by their church at the time. Marquardt herself is the daughter of divorced parents. She states in the article that she hopes Protestant churches can use this data to help with their future.
Many religious institutions do not have set guidelines when it comes to dealing with divorce, especially if the divorce involves children. A pastor of Chicago’s Fourth Presbyterian, Rev. Joyce Shin, says that she will try to reach out to the parents as well as understand what the child needs during this time—but it’s difficult. “We know there are trusts that are being broken and that were broken, and it's going to take a lot to build up from that,” Shin says, acknowledging that it’s a hard time in anyone’s life.
This study—an unprecedented breakthrough that will hopefully raise awareness—was conducted by multiple organizations: the General Social Survey, National Survey on the Moral and Spiritual Lives of Children of Divorce, National Study of Youth and Religion, and National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health.
Divorce can impact your family in a lot of different ways, big or small. If you’re going through a divorce, it is best to speak with an experienced lawyer to understand how each step will affect you and your family. Located in Geneva, Illinois, our firm can help you through the process.

The comfrey plant, also known as black root, slippery root, and Consolidae Radix in the herbology realm, has chemical properties that make it effective for reducing soft tissue pain and skin irritation.
Comfrey is a perennial plant native to parts of Europe and Asia that prefers dark, moist soil. It contains poisonous substances called pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are toxic to the liver; as such, oral products containing comfrey are banned in the U.S. and most of the world. Topical products (ointments, liniments) such as Kytta-Salbe (Merck) and Res-Q (Burt’s Bees) contain between 1-20% concentration.
The good stuff? Comfrey roots and leaves contain allantoin, a substance that helps new skin cells grow, along with other substances that reduce inflammation and keep skin healthy. It is especially helpful for moisturizing skin and softening it by promoting the shedding of old skin and stimulating growth of newer cells underneath. Allantoin is also thought to combine with irritants of inflammation and neutralize their effects. It is found in many cosmetic products including skin lotion, lipstick, toothpaste and shampoos.
Comfrey ointments have been used to heal bruises as well as pulled muscles and ligaments, fractures, sprains, strains, chafed skin, itching and osteoarthritis.
Guidelines for using Comfrey-containing products:
- Never give a child comfrey by mouth. Do not put creams or ointments with comfrey on a child’s skin.
- Never take comfrey by mouth. Severe liver poisoning and even death may occur.
- When using herb and leaf ointments, creams, and other preparations for the skin, follow these safety recommendations:
- Never apply comfrey to broken skin.
- Use only small amounts of creams with comfrey for no longer than 10 days at a time.
- Do not use any comfrey product for more than 4 – 6 total weeks in a year.
- Comfrey has toxic substances that can cause severe liver damage and even death. You should never take comfrey by mouth.
- The toxic substances in comfrey can be absorbed by the skin. Even creams and ointments should be used for only a short time, and with your doctor’s supervision.
- Do not use comfrey on open wounds or broken skin.
- Do not use comfrey if you have liver disease, alcoholism, or cancer.
- Children, the elderly, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use any comfrey products, even ones for the skin.
- Because it may raise the risk of liver damage, comfrey creams or ointments should not be used with other medications that may also affect the liver, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol). If you take any medications, whether prescription or over the counter, ask your doctor before using comfrey.
- You should not use some herbs that have also been known to cause liver problems, such as kava, skullcap, and valerian, while using comfrey ointments or creams, due to their additive effects.
So, if you recently sprained your ankle, stubbed a toe, developed tennis elbow or have general joint pain, give comfrey a try, but make sure to follow the above guidelines for usage. I recommend you use it in conjunction with ice and heat– be careful not to overdo it, though.

The Burris FastFire line of red dot sights is known for quality at a low price point. The same is true for the latest addition to the line—the FastFire III. It is practical and perfectly functional and comes in around $240. The 8 MOA dot version is ideal for a shotgun, and I we’ve beaten the hell out of this one, and I’m here to say that the FastFire can handle the abuse.
The FastFire III comes with either a 3 or 8 MOA dot. The review model is the 8 MOA variant which doesn’t lend itself to surgical rifle work, but is perfect for buckshot. It is powered by a CR 2302 battery. And it is small. The FastFire is about as wide as the receiver on this Mossberg 590, and not much longer. Even with its diminutive size and weight it feels sturdy. It is machined from aluminum. Burris makes a plethora of different mounts for their optics. I used the Picatinny mount to attach it to the top of a Mossberg 590, and it has held up fine. If you want more protection, there are mounts machined with tall wings to offer even more protection.
The optic turns on with a press of a flush-mounted button on the side. It is easy to press with your finger but it doesn’t set proud of the housing. This helps keep it on or off, depending on which you prefer. It also has three brightness settings. The brightest is easily visible in full sunlight, and can be a bit blinding in low light. But you have to press the button to cycle through the different power settings. If you are mounting this to your shotgun for home defense you aren’t going to fiddle with the brightness settings. You will need to pick a setting that is the best compromise for your environment.
And that is where the FastFire III excels. While it wouldn’t be a bad choice for a pistol or a rifle, that 8 MOA dot is really purpose driven. At 25 yards, it closely mirrors the pattern of most buckshot. With birdshot, it is even easier to use. The dot is going to show the center of the hit. And there will be some spill on all sides. As this is a gun meant for hard use in QCB, or fast home defense, the dot allows instant target acquisition. When you put the gun to your shoulder, and even an instant before, you know where the shot is going to hit. And the red dot makes rocking the pump much easier, as you won’t loose your sight picture because of recoil. If you can shoot without blinking, the FastFire will increase your speed and accuracy.
The FastFire III also has easy to use adjustments for windage and elevation. This is an improvement over the other FastFires. The adjustments are easy to get to. You can use a small screwdriver to turn them or the rim on a 12 gauge shell will also fit in the slot. It is simple and intuitive.
It can also take a punishment. Some of the lower priced red dots just cannot hold up to the recoil from a 12 gauge shotgun. We have seen multiple reports of some failing after the first couple of rounds. I’ve even had red dots that couldn’t hold their zeros after a magazine of .22 LR. That is not the case with the FastFire III. I hit it hard at the range with a number of different loads. It handled the recoil from birdshot all the way up to 00 buck and slugs without any movement of the dot or other problems. It holds its zero and can handle the abuse.
The glass is clear enough. I mean that in a good way. If you are willing to spend three times this much, you may get better glass, but I’ve held the FastFire side by side with much more expensive red dots and I can’t see the difference. More importantly, the FastFire III works. That puts it ahead of some of the other options in its price range. That is the lesson here: for its price, you can’t beat it.
On May 25th 20-7, I purchased a Burris AR332 with a FastFire3. I was unable to sights the FastFire3 in as the elevation knob did not work. I notified Burris with my problem and they requested that I return the sight, which I did . They immediately replaced the FastFire3 which surprised me. Upon receiving the new sight, it was immediately apparent that it too was damaged as I had great difficulty in turning it on and/or selecting dot intensity. Once I was able to turn it it on, I couldn’t turn it off or select dot intensity. The only way I could turn the sight off was to remove the battery. I’m in the process of returning this sight back to Burris. While Burris has a good customer service relations I am extremely disappointed with their product and would not recommend their products.
I had a local tool and die shop modify a Freedom Arms mount and installed a FF III on a FA .454 Casull. It is holding up very well. The only problem is slow red dot acquisition due to not having a cheek weld as on a rifle or shotgun. I agree with the author that it can’t be beat for the price. Burris lists, “Recoil resistance: At least 1000 G’s.”


Electric bills are going up whether lawmakers approve the governor’s energy proposal or not, but they’ll go up even more if legislators stick to a plan to increase requirements for renewable and advanced sources of energy, the chief of the FirstEnergy utility company said Thursday.
Rates have remained stable since a major reorganization of the industry in 2001, but business costs have soared, said Anthony Alexander, FirstEnergy’s president and CEO, during a meeting with reporters before testifying at a Senate committee hearing on Gov. Ted Strickland’s plan.
The cost of labor, coal, transmission wires, plant maintenance and other industry staples has gone up, while utilities’ revenue has remained stable under regulation, since the state tried to enter a competitive market in 2006, Alexander said.
Competition hasn’t developed, so regulators have essentially extended the fixed-price market.
Strickland’s plan would require utilities to tap renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and other sources, such as clean coal and nuclear, for 25 percent of their total power load by 2025. Half of that 25 percent must be renewable sources, under the plan. Ohio’s spotty wind and sunshine could require utilities to search for other renewable sources and that would drive prices up further, Alexander said.
“Under any scenario you go with, rates are going to increase,” Alexander said.
Strickland argues that turning to alternative fuels is essential to ensuring that Ohioans have a steady power supply and attracting new jobs to the state.

New Zealand ended their World Cup campaign, and the Steve Hansen era, with a commanding 40-17 victory over Wales in the bronze final match in Tokyo.
Ben Smith ran in two tries as the All Blacks eased the pain of their semi-final defeat to England, while also denying Wales the chance to equal their best-ever finish at a World Cup in Warren Gatland’s final game in charge.
The Wales wing Josh Adams almost broke through for his seventh try of the tournament in the first minute, but Gatland’s side soon fell two scores behind as a more expansive New Zealand punished defensive lapses. Joe Moody and Beauden Barrett went over before Hallam Amos got Wales on the board after an equally impressive attacking move.
Rhys Patchell’s penalty put the game briefly in the balance but the All Blacks surged clear before half-time, with Ben Smith scoring twice in quick succession, punishing a careless Wales turnover before crossing at the corner after a fine pass from scrum-half Aaron Smith.
New Zealand stretched their lead to 35-10 moments after the break, with two departing veterans combining well. Sonny Bill Williams offloaded to Ryan Crotty, with Aaron Smith again pivotal in the buildup. Adams secured top spot in the try-scoring charts with a score in the 58th minute, but the final result was never in doubt. Richie Mo’unga scored the All Blacks’ sixth try late on, taking his tournament tally to 52 points.

You're not seeing too many bears out and about these days, but come summer – actually May thru October - they'll be out and about looking for food – and perhaps heading into the South Shore area. There have been several incidents over the years of bears getting into garbage cans and conflicts between bears and residents, and Chelan County Commissioner Tiffany Gering says the county is taking steps to reduce, if not eliminate them. She says enforcement will be stepped up:
Gering says she's working with various departments to come up with solutions that work for everyone involved; one possible solution involves bear-proof garbage cans, something Gering realizes not everyone agrees with:
The commissioner says everyone is on the same page, that they don't want to be attacked by a bear, nor do they want to see a bear shot and have to be euthanized, like what happened with a mama bear in Leavenworth recently; that mama bear had two cubs, one of which still hasn't been found, and will likely die as well.

Well, we are here. This is the last set to be looked at before the LEGO Movie is released in Cinemas in the UK. And this one is a special one as it is the model I have most recently bought, on the 21st of August 2013. It is the Back to the future delorean. in my opinion, the best car in media!
So, are there other Back to the Future sets? Actually, no there’s not, and I will explain why. In LEGO’s best move in recent years, they decided to let LEGO Builders make the sets. It’s part of a LEGO subdivision called Cuusoo, which means ‘wish’ in Japanese. Essentially, the idea is that people submit their ideas to the website, and once they reach 10,000 supporters, it goes to a review, where a team of LEGO designers (from LEGO itself) look at the models which have 10,000 supporters. They usually pick one set which turns into its own LEGO Set. If its a branded product, like My little pony or Legend of Zelda, it is usually not made due to legal stuff, but this Back to the future set is an exception. Other sets they made include
- Shinkai 6500
- LEGO Minecraft
- Back to the Future(BTTF) – DeLorean Time Machine
- Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover
- Exo suit
- Ghostbuster’s 30th anniversary set (I want this one too, and the Simpsons car to maybe start a collection)
So the BTTF Set (which I have now) has the car (of course) and Marty and Doc Brown, Marty having a skateboard (but not a hoverboard, hmm). The car looks authentic, but the only problem I have with it is that it doesn’t fit two people, but that is really a minor nitpick. The figures look authentic, the car looks great, and as you can see in the picture, you can customise it to look like the cars from all 3 of the movies. That is the thing that sold me this model.
I originally got it in a Smyth’s toy superstore near my house, the day before I got my GCSE results. It was a set I wanted for a while at that point and I came up with the idea that if the results were good or bad, I would have my delorean to build as a celebration or pick-me-up. Luckily it was a celebration.
I like the idea behind normal guys designing LEGO sets. It’s a good thing for a company to have links with its fans. When I turn 18, I plan on submitting a model to LEGO, and I have been working on it for a few years and I feel its good enough for a prototype model. Whether they’ll like it is another story. Only time will tell…

A breakthrough by scientists at Queen's University Belfast could help reduce heart failure in cancer patients around the world, and ultimately increase survival rates.
Scientists at Queen's Centre for Vision and Vascular Science have discovered the role of an enzyme which, when a patient receives chemotherapy, can cause life-threatening damage to the heart. This has, until now, restricted the amount of chemotherapy doses a patient can receive; but while protecting the heart, this dilutes the chemotherapy's effectiveness in destroying cancerous tumours.
By identifying the role of the enzyme - NADPH oxidase - work can now go ahead into making chemotherapy treatments more effective and reduce the toxic effects of cancer treatment on the heart.
Dr David Grieve, jointly leading on the research at Queen's School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences said: "While chemotherapy drugs are highly effective in treating a wide range of tumours, they can also cause irreversible damage to the heart. This means that doctors are restricted in the doses they can administer to patients. In recent years, scientists have been searching for new drugs to prevent these side-effects.
"Although we have known about the NADPH oxidase enzyme for many years, until now, we were not aware of its crucial role in causing heart damage associated with chemotherapy. Our research findings hold clear potential for the creation of new drugs to block the action of the enzyme, which could significantly reduce heart damage in cancer patients.
"Ultimately, this could allow for the safer use of higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and make the treatment more effective against tumours. Despite improved treatments, cancer is currently responsible for 25 per cent of all mortality in the western world. By reducing the risk of heart failure associated with chemotherapy, patient survival rates could be significantly increased."
Scientists at Queen's are now concentrating their efforts on further studies to define the precise role of NADPH oxidase in the development of heart failure associated with cancer therapies. It is hoped that these may lead to the development of a drug which would have the potential to save lives among cancer patients.

Street Art Hits the Museum in New Graffiti Exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York
With all the hype Banksy received for his one-month showing of surprise street art, it’s time to start looking back—tracing the roots of a cultural movement that was born on the streets and now produces artwork that hangs on the walls of collectors.
With all the hype Banksy received for his one-month showing of surprise street art, it’s time to start looking back—tracing the roots of a cultural movement that was born on the streets and now produces artwork that hangs on the walls of collectors. This past December, Jeffrey Deitch cocurated “Women on the Walls” at Art Basel Miami Beach, recognizing the famous Wynwood Walls and the work of female graffiti artists. Now the Museum of the City of New York brings us “City as Canvas: Graffiti Art from the Martin Wong Collection.”
It’s not easy transplanting the chaotic, visual landscape of 1970s and 1980s New York. But the first-ever exhibition dedicated to pioneering collector Martin Wong’s monumental treasury of borough-based street art does it well, primarily focusing on the golden years of graffiti and featuring works by Keith Haring,DAZE (Christopher Ellis), FUTURA 2000 (Leonard McGurr), Lady Pink (Sandra Fabara), and LEE (Lee Quiñones), among others—all contributors to an urban aesthetic that continues to influence us today.
Now, 20 years since their acquisition, 150 of the roughly 300-work collection fill the James G. Dinan and Elizabeth R. Miller Gallery of MCNY, bringing to life the city as a concrete jungle where talented young artists took to the streets to express themselves. From a projection of Manfred Kirchheimer’s 1981 documentary Stations of the Elevated (one of the first to take graffiti as its subject), to Martin Wong’s acrylic painting Sharp Paints a Picture (1997–1998), "City as Canvas" presents a graphic time capsule in which the visual manifestation of a cultural rebellion is preserved. As curator Sean Corcoran explains, “With time, we’ve seen how these kids, who are now working, professional adults have gone on to become fine artists—how they’ve made their mark on culture.”
Highlights from the exhibition include historical photographs captured by Henry Chalfant and Martha Cooper—the gritty subway trains covered in tags and stylized script serve to eternalize what has long since been erased or discarded. In addition, black book drawings, pictorial diaries kept by artists such as DONDI,RIFF 170, and others, illustrate the evolution of individualized graffiti styles through the decades.
As Lady Pink said earlier this week: “Street art has become the biggest art movement the world has ever seen. It’s bigger than the Renaissance.” Its shift from illicit urban scrawl to something more like fine art is, in large part, thanks to the patronage of young collectors like Wong who believed the message was worth protecting in the first place, and the artists worth nurturing and not criminalizing. “When viewing this exhibition, it’s important to know that Martin Wong was a patron of this movement during a time when there really wasn’t any support for it in the United States,” graffiti writer DAZE explains. “He not only supported us but he bought our work,” added Lady Pink. “He promised to preserve our art. Surely he has done so now.”
“City as Canvas: Graffiti Art from the Martin Wong Collection” opens today at the Museum of the City of New York and is on view until August 24; mcny.org

The National Novel writing month (November) is over now, and I am slowly catching up on my sleep. The challenge was to write 50,000 words, approximately 150 pages... and I managed to achieve 38,000. I was doing really good until week 3, Thanksgiving week. My stepdaughter spent Thanksgiving with us, and we spent many evenings staying up late talking - so my daily word count dropped from 1600 down to 600-800 words. No problem, I knew I could still catch up during the final week. I didn't want to miss out on the time with my stepdaughter because for the first time ever, she was really interested in and asking questions about the Bible, about different religions, and spiritual matters. She has been going to a Christian youth group with a friend of hers from school, even went to a weekend Bible camp. I gave her a "teen study Bible" and she was really pleased with it because she said she'd been trying to the read the Bible, but a lot of it was confusing to her. The teen study Bible includes questions teens frequently ask and Biblical applications for problems teens frequently face, so she really liked that. I am thrilled! It is so exciting to see her interested in spiritual matters and searching for the Truth. I wish she could have stayed longer so we could have talked some more.
But after Thanksgiving I had almost 5000 words to catch up on, and only a week left! If I averaged in those extra 5000 words, my daily word count needed to get bumped up to 2100 words a day. I was excited though, because I'm the type that can really perform when the pressure is on... and if the pressure is only for a short period, like a week. Writing like crazy caused my imagination to go into overdrive, and my novel was really taking shape... by week 4, I was in the homestretch, with about 90% of the novel behind me, just a few chapters left to go!
Then, I got sick!! The nasty stomach virus thing caught up with me, plus I was already running on severe sleep deprivation... my motivation to meet that 50,000 word goal quickly evaporated. I ended up only writing less than 1,000 words that last week.
But despite the disappointing end, NANOWRIMO was an incredible experience, and I'll definitely be trying it again next year, plus I'll be trying to talk all my writing friends into trying it, as well. The NANOWRIMO organizers would send out great motivational emails every week, plus lots of tips and tricks to "keep writing" and make your daily word count goal. One tip was to get together with a writing buddy and have "word wars". That's where you race against a stopwatch to see who could produce the most words in say, a half hour. Then you do another word war, and another, till 2 hours have passed and you have miraculously written over 2,000 words (even though your buddy still beat by typing 2002 words, so what? You just exceeded your word count for the day).
I have promised myself I'm not going to look back over what I've written until I've finished the book. I only have a few more chapters to go. FINISH IT! Then I will take the time to go back and start editing it. When you are racing to create vast quantities of words in a short period of time, there is sure to be lots of junk that needs to edited, or perhaps even deleted. But right now, I'm still in production mode. I'll save editing mode for 2008. And, hopefully sometime in 2008, I'll be able to get a good start on my NEXT novel. (and finish it by November, thanks to NANOWRIMO).
Now... I need to reaquaint myself with my husband and my kids and my poor neglected horses... oh yeah, and my poor neglected vacuum cleaner.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Troy Merritt had a tough Sunday, struggling to a 75 in the final group at the McGladrey Classic to finish tied for 33rd, but at least he was buoyed by the success of Boise State on Saturday.
The Broncos remained undefeated after beating Toledo on Saturday and in the hunt for the school’s first national championship. Just don’t expect Merritt, a Boise State alum, to join the chorus of converts who say the school should be the nation’s top-ranked team.
“I don’t vote,” he smiled. “I just watch.”

"From conception to two years you can really set the stage for long-term health in children," Dr Valentine told FoodNavigator-USA.
Multiple studies including the last two Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) reports and a paper by the Academy of Pediatrics titled "The First 1,000 Days of Life" published last year have identified just how critical the transition from infant breastfeeding into early childhood is, when nutritional gaps in a child's diet widen. Before turning 2-years-old, many children aren't consuming enough iron, which is essential for healthy brain development.
"Knowing those gaps and knowing that very vulnerable time period, we looked at what is happening to the brain in that time period. The reason these kids are at such risk is that the brain grows to about 85-95% of an adult brain by two years," Dr Valentine said.
According to Dr Valentine, brain health and development hasn't been given as much as attention as a child's physical growth with a slew of products aimed at promoting children's height and bones.
"There are some features that people don’t think about because you can’t see it on the inside like you can see a kid growing tall. Your brain not only has to grow in structure as well but has to grow and have the wrappings of the neurons grow with myelin (the wrapping the protect fibers in the brain)," she noted.
The MFGM is a naturally occurring bioactive membrane that surrounds the fat droplets in breast milk and plays an important role in childhood brain development, according to Dr Valentine.
Developing brain nourishing products for young kids
While it's not realistic to incorporate breast milk into a child's diet past the typical breastfeeding window and many moms are in need of nutritional bridge as soon as three months after giving birth, there is an opportunity to supplement a child's diet with some of the key nutrients found in breast milk, explained Dr Valentine.
Dr Valentine, who is also the medical director for Reckitt Benckiser (parent company to Enfagrow), and a team of R&D scientists turned to examining mother's breast milk for inspiration on how to build a nutritious product that could effectively supplement a child's diet past infancy.
Late last month, the company launched Enfagrow Neuropro, a nutritional drink for toddler 1-year and older containing cow's milk MFGM and 14 grams of sugar per 8-fluid-ounce serving.
"We developed this new product with all that in mind, with all those key nutrients from a natural milk source and we also added the novel ingredient MFGM (from cow's milk) that every drop of mother’s breast milk has and get the concentration similar to what a breastfeeding baby would have," she said.
The MFGM is composed of many of those key proteins and fats including Omega-3 DHA as well as vitamin A and prebiotics to promote brain development and a healthy immune system in a child's first few years of life. According to Dr Valentine, when looking at the MFGM under a 3D microscopic technology, once it's separated from the whey protein in cow's milk, the structure and nutritional components are "almost identical" to human breast milk.
When asked if a healthy and finely tuned diet of the right mix of foods could foster healthy brain development in young children, Dr Valentine clarified that would be the gold standard but is often unattainable for many parents.
"As a pediatrician and nutritionist, I would love food sources first, but many children are not eating those food sources and if they are eating those food sources, they’re not eating enough," she said.
The MFGM is a promising and concrete step towards healthy brain development in young children, Dr Valentine added.
"I really believe this is the next best ingredient since DHA and will be in all nutritional supplements [for young children] at some point."

American Rifle: 02/25/09
I've been having bad luck with some of the review copies I've been sent recently. First there were the scrambled pages in Emily Waits for Her Family and now there is the toner bomb in the first third of American Rifle. Both were books I had been looking forward to reading. Unfortunately in the early history of the rifle, about one page in every eight was nearly completely black.
Despite the black pages, I enjoyed Alexander Rose's history of America as seen through the development of the rifle. Rose approaches the rifle with detachment, focusing on the technology and the cultural shifts that caused and were caused by the rifle. The book goes beyond just listing facts and dates and connects the dots in ways that made me rethink my country's history.

Computer cash raised during race night
PUBLISHED: 14:00 07 February 2015
THOUSANDS of pounds were raised at a race night to buy new school computers.
Ashbroooke House School’s parent and teacher association (PTA) collected £2,800 from the event at Batch Country House in Lympsham.
It was run by Weston Lions Club, and the money will also be used to buy an interactive white board.
More than 145 parents and family members attended, and a separate event was held for the 50 children.
PTA treasurer Lucy Johannsen said: “We are delighted with the amount raised on the night and this will help us to buy equipment which will make a real difference to the IT support available at Ashbrooke House.”
