It has been a while since I have addressed why I never call witnesses at a hearing in a driver's license restoration or clearance hearing. Within the very week that this article was written, I had 7 license restoration and clearance hearings at the Michigan Secretary of State Administrative Hearing Office (AHS, and formerly known as the DAAD) in Livonia. As I arrived at the building over those several days and waited with my clients for our hearing times to approach, I saw a number of lawyers (not those I see there with any regularity) march down the hall from the various hearing rooms and open the lobby door to fetch witnesses. Every time I see that, I cringe because calling witnesses, in my opinion, is a completely avoidable (and amateur) mistake.
I am reminded of just how true this is almost weekly. It simply goes with the territory that because of the sheer number of license appeals that I do (I had 31 license appeal hearings in the first 3 months of 2015), plenty of my "new" clients are people who tried and lost a license appeal before (either on their own, or with some lawyer who claims to "do" license restoration cases). As they present me with their documents, including the order denying any prior appeals, I read how witnesses were essentially "chewed up" by the hearing officer, and can just imagine how things played out as everyone sat in the same room and watched that year's appeal go down in flames, right before their very eyes. For everything I can (and will) say on this topic, it comes down to 1 very simple reality: A witness is a liability, and any value he or she brings can be captured and presented in a letter.
If witness X is called to testify that Dan the driver has not consumed alcohol for the last 3 years, or, in the case of an interlock violation, did not consume alcohol on a certain day, what part of that cannot be put in a letter? That's it; the point has been made. However, if witness X is brought in to testify, the hearing officer can start inquiring about other things: When was the last time you saw Dan consume any alcohol? A few years ago, huh? Well, how many years ago was that? About 6 or 7 you say? Hmmmph. Well, before you were called in here, Dan testified that it has been a bit over 3 years since he quit drinking. And you say you know him well and see him often, eh?
It goes downhill from there. And the more important point is that it can never go uphill from anything that a person can put in a letter. Being there in person does not make any statement better. This is something I hear about from other lawyers who read my blog and admit that they never really thought about it this way. Sure, from a lawyer's point of view, it requires less up front work to tell the client to bring a witness to the hearing rather than read the person's letter and help him or her properly edit it. And to be clear, while I put a lot of time and effort into correcting and editing letters, there is no point at which I ever want to have someone say (or write) something that is untrue. Part and parcel of my whole approach to license appeals, and the primary reason I guarantee that I will win any case I take, is that I only represent people who have honestly quit drinking and are truly sober. If someone was to tell me he or she could get letters that say whatever I need or want, then that person would be a million miles from the kind of genuine sobriety I require to take a case in the first place. It is critically important to me, and to our chances of success, that my client be able to sit in the hearing room and look the hearing officer in the eyes and both parties know that what's being said is true.
That said, a true statement in a letter "I am Dan's wife and he has not had anything to drink for over 3 years" carries the exact same weight as it would if said in a hearing. The difference is that the letter doesn't get nervous, doesn't get confused, and won't make mistakes when being grilled because you can't ask a letter any questions! This is such a simple point, yet so often overlooked, that it boggles my mind.
You can search this blog for driver's license restoration articles going back to 2009, when I began putting them up, and you will see that I have been consistent in my "no witnesses" approach all along. When you couple the sheer volume of my driver's license restoration experience with my win guarantee, you have to conclude that there's something to it. Unlike some of my other articles, where even a topical examination of a particular subject can result in several installments, this subject is straightforward and simple: Never call witnesses. While there is always an exception, in the last 500 or so license appeal cases I have handled, I have called witnesses in no more than 2. To be honest, it might have only been in 1 case, but I am certain that it happened in no more than 2, and those were exceptional cases in every sense of the word.
Beyond everything else, the whole idea of calling witnesses (or not) can be a litmus test by which to help you find a lawyer. I am not saying that every case with a witness is doomed, but I am saying that virtually every case in which a witness is called is one that is taking on unnecessary risk. Obviously, if I needed to find a lawyer for a license appeal, I would quickly rule out any that were not keenly aware that calling witnesses is almost always a mistake. Whatever else, it's a mistake I won't make, and it's all backed by a guarantee.

Celebrity predictions for 2012
I wrote this in January 2012 – how many did I get right?
Ah, the future. Remember when we all imagined the future was going to be this way-cool wonderland of gleaming spaceships, million-metre-high skyscrapers made out of chrome, and asexual humanoids wandering around in silver jumpsuits and changing their eye colour more often than they had hot dinners, which wasn't that often actually because they didn't have hot dinners anymore but instead consumed nutritional pills in their bubble-domes on the moon?
No? Oh, okay. Must have just been me.
Anyway, as it turns out, the future blows. As in, the present blows. Which is the future of my past. Does that make sense? I think it makes sense. You know what I mean, anyway.
No spaceships, no chrome skyscrapers, no weirdoes in silver jumpsuits. Blah. Go away, future. Leave me alone.
But no, the feckin' thing insists on rolling around, forever and ever, until all time ceases to exist. A bit like reruns of Friends on cable. So there's nothing left for us to do but make – oh yes – some more predictions about the future.
Specifically, what will happen in sleb-land, both here and abroad, over the next 12 months. Silver jumpsuits on, everyone:
Simon Cowell's hair will become self-aware and take command of his brain, by sending messages through the skull via hair follicles. Like what Snake did to Homer on The Simpsons one time. The hair will then abolish all Cowell's current programming and replace it with a number of cross-platform, multi-media, mega-budget, infotainment craptaculars…all of them with Simon Cowell's hair at their centre. As opposed to all of Simon Cowell.
Jamie Oliver will tearfully confess on Ellen's show: "I've always hated cooking." Then Ellen will tearfully confess on Jamie Oliver's new show: "I've always hated you."
Kate and Wills will announce the impending arrival of Heir to the Throne #1. If a boy, it will be called Ponsonby Foofarah Reductia. If a girl, it will be called Polidori Macadam Exquisitation. If neither, it will be called something gender-neutral like Bobby.
Ryan Tubridy will, by July 5th, have taken full and absolute control of all RTE programming on TV and radio. The last bastion of resistance – the Angelus bells – will be broken and destroyed, the bells replaced by the sound of Tubbers' voice going "Bong…bong…bong…" for sixty seconds. All RTE services will now broadcast wall-to-wall, 24-7 Ryan Tubridy. This date will become known as Judgement Day to the guerrilla movement that later rises to oppose him/it/them.
Kim Kardashian will marry Eminem. For five minutes. Then he'll spend the next ten years abusing her in rap form, with added comical visuals for your pleasure.
Ireland will win the Euros 2012 tournament World Series soccerball thingie, thus making all the WAGs into instant slebs. If they're not already. They'll record a charity single for an anti-smoking lobby group – "WAGs against fags" – which stays at Number 1 for exactly 14 seconds. And Robbie Keane will supplant David Beckham as the most saleable footballer on the planet, signing big-money advertising deals with Tag Heuer, Sony and Bargaintown.
In computer games – they are still called that, right? – the PSX-PlayerBox3 will bring out ++Nolife++, an incredibly realistic simulation type thing in which your virtual other self interacts with others, goes to work, has a milkshake, de-clogs the drains etc. etc. Swiftly followed by your non-virtual actual self doing things like wondering why you just paid seventy bucks to act exactly like you always do.
Lindsay Lohan will tear the last remaining scraps of dignity and professional credibility into minute shreds by posing naked in Playboy. Tragically, this one isn't made up.
The new Transformers movie – provisionally entitled Transformers: The Deafening – will last for eighteen hours, and consist of nothing but stuff blowing up INCREDIBLY LOUDLY, rendered in glorious CGI, while a few human actors run around and pretend to be escaping from the stuff blowing up INCREDIBLY LOUDLY. It will all be INCREDIBLY LOUD. In quieter movie news, the new James Bond will follow the suave superspy as he spends six months working on a new board game which he describes as "a cross between Snakes & Ladders and shuffleboard".
Beyoncé and Jay-Z will release a new single called Naz-teee Freek Move Ya Boddy Uh Uh. This will be a distressingly illiterate slice of so-called R 'n' B, which used to mean Muddy Waters and people like that, but now seemingly refers to overly sexualised, horribly cynical pop music centred around heavy bass lines, eight-octave wailing from the semi-nude female singer, and lower-order primate grunting from her male counterpart. Said to be at least seventy per cent more "real" than comparable chart filler.
This column will win the Nobel Prize for Everything, but I will regretfully turn it down to protest about Wall Street/the rainforests/Gaza/whatever.

The latest TOWIE recruit commented on the cruel speculation.
If there's one thing that Essex lot are good for, its drama, drama and drama. So, when Kady McDermott joined TOWIE, we expected major fireworks.
Having joined the cast alongside her new beau Myles Barnett – who is fresh from his explosive split with co-star Courtney Green – we were totally right in expecting dramz by the bucket load.
However, we certainly didn't expect how much unfair speculation there would be surrounding 23-year-olds Kady's appearance.
Whilst the TOWIE stars are often very transparent about the nips-and-tucks which keep them camera ready, the former Love Island lady has been subjected to an intense bout of scrutiny surrounding her own possible cosmetic procedures.
Come on now guys, if you don't have something nice to say!
So much so, Kady has now been forced to address the attention herself – highlighting how unfair the comments have been.
Taking to her Instagram story yesterday, the latest Essex recruit shared a series of snaps regarding the situation.
In the following snap, Kady shared a lengthy statement regarding these types of messages, which are sadly becoming a regular occurrence.
Thankfully, Kady followed up her concerning message with some assurance that she isn't taking the nasty comments to heart – explaining her mum brought her up to be 'really, really thick skinned'.
We're so glad to hear it, 'gal! Sending Kady our well wishes.

Blog: The 7 Facebook Ad Designs That Defined 2017
When you have over 5 million businesses competing for ad space on a platform that boasts over $9 billion in advertising revenue, you can pretty much guarantee there will be successes and failures.
The reasons a Facebook ad is a success versus one that is not can often come down to design.
People browsing through their News Feeds are going to be stopped by something that catches their eye.
And what catches their eye often leads to a purchase.
In fact, 93% of customers base their purchasing decision on just visual appearance.
So what qualifies as good Facebook ad design?
Well, that's where studying the brands with an effective Facebook marketing strategy is important.
By studying those that did well, certain trends emerge of ad design elements often used.
We compiled these trends into one easy list that you can use to help optimize your own Facebook ad campaign.
We'll show you the design and why it was effective in driving engagement and motivating buying decisions.
These are the seven Facebook ad design trends that defined this year in social media marketing.
1. Testimonials & Reviews
People trust other people when it comes to their purchasing decisions.
88% of those trust online peer reviews just as much as personal recommendations.
This year saw the rise of the review and testimonial Facebook ad.
Image source: https://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/
Presenting rave comments right in your Facebook marketing copy and/or the visual itself helps to build trust with customers.
It's especially effective to highlight customer testimonials instead of media reviews, as people are more likely to trust someone like themselves.
2. Customized Visuals
Though this isn't an option for all businesses because of high production costs, if you can design your own Facebook ad visual it's worth it.
Remember, 93% of people buy on visual appearance alone.
It also matters for branding purposes: Color boosts brand recognition by 80%.
Image source: https://adespresso.com/
With a custom illustration in your Facebook ad, you can give your brand an aesthetic.
You can also use it to engage users more effectively and earn their business.
There are a few, cheaper ways to create these custom Facebook ads if you don't have an in-house digital designer.
Online tools like Canva offer a simple platform for design, or you can use sites like Upwork to find freelancers at reasonable rates.
3. Color Gradation
We don't need to talk again about how important visuals are in Facebook ads.
But when it comes to color, there's one trend that keeps on repeating: Gradients.
Image source: https://www.topik.in/
Gradation is so successful thanks to the role it plays in the overall consumer psychology.
Just as with the psychology of SEO, the psychology of Facebook ads is a study of how users subconsciously interact on the platform and what innately appeals to them or not.
The idea is to tap into how a consumer thinks in order to present them with the most relatable, compelling content.
Color is a crucial piece of this Facebook marketing puzzle.
Contrasting colors can boost conversion rates 60%, and gradation allows for more subtle contrast.
4. Carousel Feature
When Facebook introduced carousel ads in 2014, it drove down cost-per-conversion prices 30-50%, and cost-per-click prices down 20-30%.
Since expanding to mobile ads in 2015, the carousel format continues to be popular among Facebook advertisers.
The feature essentially allows a slideshow of images to appear within a single ad.
This allows for a deeper visual dive into a brand's product or service.
Image source: https://www.nanigans.com/blog/
The human brain processes visual information 60,000 times faster than text.
As a result, using a carousel Facebook ad is a great way to tell a lot about your brand in an easily digestible manner.
You can expect an increase in brand recognition, awareness, and engagement as people understand what you're offering more fully and clearly.
5. GIFs & Stop Motion
It was only in February of this year that Facebook introduced the ability to add GIFs to their Facebook ads.
Since then, though, this feature has taken off and become one of the defining social media design trends of 2017.
Image source: https://www.pinterest.com
GIF is a cheaper solution than producing an entire video for your Facebook ad.
It's also one of the most powerful visual platforms in existence:
Over 5 million GIFs are sent every day on Facebook Messenger.
In an email campaign, GIFs increased revenue by 109%.
Giphy exceeded 100 million daily active users who send over 1 billion GIFs each day
Use your creativity to create GIFs that tell a story about your brand, highlight a product, or really do anything else relevant that will capture users' attentions.
6. Comparing to the Competition
Though you should review the competitor rules before taking on this strategy for your Facebook marketing, there has been a definite rise in the number of comparison ads.
By comparing your brand to another, you are clearly showing why yours is the better solution.
Essentially, these Facebook advertisements act as visual value-props.
Without explicitly spelling out why your brand is better, the visual element used makes that clear.
And we all know how important the visuals are in Facebook advertising.
You don't even necessarily need to compare your own business with another.
Consider comparing situations that your product or service improves, such as Cleanly's above.
They demonstrate the difference between not using their service and having to go to the laundromat vs. having your laundry delivered in the comfort of your home with their service.
7. Flat Designs
A flat-laying Facebook ad plays into a person's preference for organization in a visual context.
Basically, people want to see things that are placed carefully, symmetrically, and/or evenly on a layout.
Image source: https://www.nanigans.com/blog
This tactic is especially useful for retail and clothing brands.
They can show off an entire array of products, including recommending style combinations in an attempt to upsell.
The flat design also makes it possible to present products that can appeal to more than one demographic.
For example, you can show shoes for men, women, and children in a flat layout all within a single Facebook ad.
Though you can expect to see some of these trends change as we move into following years, one thing they all have in common is captivating visual content.
Having visuals in your Facebook ad that draw users away from your competition and towards your brand instead is crucial.
Looking at what other businesses are doing with their ad designs is a great source of inspiration for optimizing your own Facebook marketing strategy.

Tourism is an expensive endeavor. Everyone wants to travel, but many people forgo their dream vacations due to money or lack of free time – but these are poor excuses! In this era of non-stop work, we've got to make time and save a little money for travel and leisure.
First, figure out where you would want to go. Many people love to take trips to Europe because there's a great deal of history and diversity in a central location. South America is also a popular region to visit for its rich culture, music and art, and of course, the beautiful seaside views. There are also several exciting places to visit in the Orient, exotic places that can alter your worldview. Or perhaps you were thinking of traveling someplace closer to home: U.S. and Canada have many terrific spots worth visiting.
If you are traveling in the United States, your local AAA can provide you with a plethora of free info, guides, and maps to plan your trip. A travel agent can be an expensive route, but it can be worth it if you can afford it. Also, use the internet to see if there are local events, museums, concerts, or general hotspots in the area you intend to visit. In any case, commit to a location that speaks to you and your family.
Next, think about when and how long you would want to travel. The time of year is an important factor: some seasons are much less congested for tourism, and therefore, less costly. Also, consider how long you might want to stay. Remember, you don't want to have to come back home too soon, but you also don't want to get tired of traveling. (If you have a lot of vacation time saved up, you can be a bit more flexible with your decision.) For many people, somewhere between one and two weeks is the perfect amount of time.
Finally, embark on your dream vacation and have fun!
Don't wait for the adventure to come to you – start planning your dream vacation today. When you are ready to purchase airline miles, make your dream trip as easy and affordable as possible.

"Big travels start with just one step"
Grown up between the kindness of a dressmaker and the memories her grandmother's couture atelier, Ester Milano, lived abroad, travelled before heading to Barcelona, while working for multinational companies.
The enchanting colours of Barcelona, the influence of the designers she worked with, together with the all around creativity she got exposed, made her decide to re-connect with the fashion world she kept aside for a while.
Studying at FD Moda and working directly with the most experienced ateliers in Italy and Spain to get to perfection, she joined RESET PRIORITY with the objective of creating contemporary swimwear and lingerie of high quality and unique style to empower women with confidence.
Reset Priority´s pieces are meant to last one season after next. To ensure durability and that differentiator fit that perfectly shapes your body, we use Xtra Life Lycra® fabrics that last longer than non threated materials. But this is not everything!
All our pieces are made using OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified fabrics, they are tested for harmful substances plus are made in socially responsible workplaces. We believe that making smart decisions today may really mean something for tomorrow. We started to work with recycled fabrics from Italy and the quality is optimum we select to use these ones!
The fashion industry can mark a difference by including ¨re-generated¨ materials right from the design process so that we can help in re-use nylon fibers that would otherwise considered waste.

For some time, the question of how anthropology can become more engaging has been a major concern to the field especially in terms of the younger generation of anthropologists. For decades, anthropology has been limited to intellectuals, academicians, students and those that follow the field. But it has failed to reach the wider audience of the everyday, non-academic lay person. The younger generation is a generation of computers, laptops, smartphones, music and sound, video and film and it is this technology that has become their primary means of communication. The challenge for the future of anthropology is to define distinct uses that this technology can serve in an effort to make anthropology more appealing and engaging to a much wider audience.

What an incredible set this was. Neil mother-effing Young! Joined on stage by Willie Nelson! He sang "Harvest Moon" DURING THE HARVEST MOON! Wow. This set was easily worth the drive and hassle of heading out to Bristow. I had only seen Neil once before, way back in the mid-90's with Crazy Horse, back when I wasn't well-versed with his work.

I won't lie, I was bummed to miss what will probably be my only chance at shooting Angus (and Axl Rose!) but at the same time I was super excited to shoot John Mellencamp and Neil Young.

I shot both of these amazing ladies at DAR Constitution Hall in 2010 and the show was n't that different from this year's performance at Merriweather as part of the Summer Spirit Festival. At the 2010 show, Badu headlined, wore a bulky jacket, didn't move much at all during her performance and still tore the roof off. Pretty much the same for this year.…

Not sure how I made it to 2016 before seeing Duran Duran, but that's the way it worked out. That's a shame, but this was a really great tour to see them on. Chic opened and they were freaking amazing. Then Simon Le Bon and company took the stage and gave us a hit-filled 19 song set that absolutely played. I was thrilled to hear "A View To A Kill" and a snippet of "New Moon on Monday" and we…

The Joy Formidable are such a fun band, it's hard to pass up a chance to shoot them. So many bands these days just fucking stand there on stage, but not this Welsh trio. It's all you can do to keep up with them! They are all over the place. Lead singer and guitarist Ritzy Bryan is certainly the attraction here (she has better guitar poses than most anyone) but don't sleep on bassist Rhydian Davies or drummer Matthew Thomas. Stick with…

Smashing Pumpkins @ Lincoln Theatre
Here's something most people don't know about me. Before (What's The Story) Morning Glory came out in late 1995, my favorite band on the planet was the Smashing Pumpkins. Gish and Siamese Dream pretty much soundtracked my first two years at college. I listened to those albums incessantly. I could not get enough. It helped that the Pumpkins were pretty good about playing North Carolina (where I grew up and went to school). I had seen them a few times…

I wanted to wait a bit longer to show everyone what I got up my sleeve for Sac-Anime in January, but I just couldn't wait!
First off, I'd like to thank the people who made it (Yes, I'll be honest: this is a commissioned creation. Then agian, I have no time to sow or do that kind of fancy stuff.), as they did a wonderful job of creating my idea!
As you can see, it's not the correct color - this one is in a custom black that I had asked for. Either than that, it's pretty much the same State Military uniform.

LAZANDA is indicated for the management of breakthrough pain in cancer patients 18 years of age and older who are already receiving and who are tolerant to around-the-clock opioid therapy for their underlying persistent cancer pain.
Patients considered opioid tolerant are those who are taking, for one week or longer, around-the-clock medicine consisting of at least 60 mg of oral morphine per day, or at least 25 mcg of transdermal fentanyl per hour, or at least 30 mg oral oxycodone per day, or at least 8 mg oral hydromorphone per day, or at least 25 mg oral oxymorphone per day, or at least 60 mg oral hydrocodone per day, or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid for a week or longer. Patients must remain on around-the-clock opioids when taking LAZANDA.
Not for use in the management of acute or postoperative pain, including headache/migraine, dental pain, or in the emergency department.
As a part of the TIRF REMS Access program, LAZANDA may be dispensed only to outpatients enrolled in the program. For inpatient administration of LAZANDA (e.g. hospitals, hospices, and long-term care facilities that prescribe for inpatient use), patient enrollment is not required.
Serious, life-threatening, and/or fatal respiratory depression has occurred. Monitor closely, especially upon initiation or following a dose increase. Due to the risk of fatal respiratory depression, LAZANDA is contraindicated in opioid non-tolerant patients and in management of acute or postoperative pain, including headache/migraines.
Accidental exposure to LAZANDA, especially in children, can result in a fatal overdose of fentanyl. Keep out of reach of children. Ensure proper storage and disposal.
Concomitant use with CYP3A4 inhibitors (or discontinuation of CYP3A4 inducers) can result in a fatal overdose of fentanyl. Monitor patients receiving LAZANDA and any CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer.
Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reserve concomitant prescribing for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate; limit dosages and durations to the minimum required and follow patients for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation.
When prescribing, do not convert patients on a mcg per mcg basis from any other oral transmucosal fentanyl product to LAZANDA.
LAZANDA exposes users to risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death. Assess patient's risk before prescribing and monitor regularly for these behaviors and conditions.
LAZANDA is available only through a restricted program called the TIRF REMS Access program. Outpatients, healthcare professionals who prescribe to outpatients, pharmacies, and distributors are required to enroll in the program.
Prolonged use of LAZANDA during pregnancy can result in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, which may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated. If prolonged opioid use is required in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available.
Initiate treatment with LAZANDA for all patients using ONE 100 mcg spray of LAZANDA (1 spray in one nostril).
If adequate analgesia is obtained within 30 minutes of administration of the initial dose, treat subsequent episodes of breakthrough pain with this dose.
If adequate analgesia is not achieved with the initial dose, dose escalate in a step-wise manner over consecutive episodes of breakthrough pain until adequate analgesia with tolerable side effects is achieved.
Patients MUST wait at least 2 hours before treating another episode of breakthrough cancer pain with LAZANDA.
Opioid non-tolerant patients: Life-threatening respiratory depression and death could occur at any dose.
Acute or postoperative pain including headache/migraine and dental pain, or in the emergency department.
Known hypersensitivity to fentanyl or components of LAZANDA.
Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression has been reported with the use of opioids. Respiratory depression, if not immediately recognized and treated, may lead to respiratory arrest and death. The risk is greatest during the initiation of therapy or following a dosage increase. The substitution of LAZANDA for any other fentanyl product may result in fatal overdose.
Death has been reported in children who accidentally ingested transmucosal immediate-release fentanyl products. Patients and their caregivers must be informed that LAZANDA contains a medicine in an amount which can be fatal to a child.
Concomitant use of a CYP3A4 inhibitor may increase plasma concentrations of fentanyl and prolong opioid adverse reactions, which may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression, particularly when an inhibitor is added after a stable dose of LAZANDA is achieved. Discontinuation of a CYP3A4 inducer may increase fentanyl plasma concentrations and prolong opioid adverse reactions.
Profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death may result from the concomitant use of LAZANDA with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants. Prescribe the lowest effective doses and minimum durations of concomitant use.
When prescribing and dispensing, DO NOT convert a patient to LAZANDA from any other fentanyl product as LAZANDA and other fentanyl products are not equivalent. LAZANDA is NOT a generic version of other transmucosal immediate release fentanyl (TIRF) formulations.
LAZANDA contains fentanyl a Schedule II controlled substance.
Because of the risk of misuse, abuse, addiction, and overdose, LAZANDA is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the TIRF REMS Access program.
Prolonged use of LAZANDA during pregnancy can result in withdrawal in the neonate. Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated, and requires management according to protocols developed by neonatology experts.
The use of LAZANDA in patients with acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or in the absence of resuscitative equipment is contraindicated.
Cases of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition, have been reported during concomitant use of fentanyl with serotonergic drugs.
Cases of adrenal insufficiency have been reported with opioid use, more often following greater than one month of use. If adrenal insufficiency is diagnosed, treat with corticosteroids.
LAZANDA may cause severe hypotension including orthostatic hypotension and syncope in ambulatory patients. There is increased risk in patients whose ability to maintain blood pressure has already been compromised by a reduced blood volume or concurrent administration of certain CNS depressant drugs (e.g. phenothiazines or general anesthetics).
In patients who may be susceptible to the intracranial effects of CO2 retention (e.g., those with evidence of increased intracranial pressure or brain tumors), LAZANDA may reduce respiratory drive, and the resultant CO2 retention can further increase intracranial pressure.
LAZANDA is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, including paralytic ileus.
LAZANDA may increase the frequency of seizures in patients with seizure disorders, and may increase the risk of seizures occurring in other clinical settings associated with seizures.
LAZANDA may impair the mental or physical abilities needed to perform potentially hazardous activities such as driving a car or operating machinery. Warn patients not to perform such tasks until they know how they will react to the medication.
Intravenous fentanyl may produce bradycardia. Use LAZANDA with caution in patients with bradyarrhythmias.
Vomiting, nausea, dizziness, pyrexia, and constipation.

Statistical Journal of the IAOS - Volume 30, issue 4
This is the flagship journal of the International Association for Official Statistics and is expected to be widely circulated and subscribed to by individuals and institutions in all parts of the world.
The main aim of the journal is to support the IAOS mission by publishing articles to promote the understanding and advancement of official statistics and to foster the development of effective and efficient official statistical services on a global basis. Papers are expected to be of wide interest to readers. Such papers may or may not contain strictly original material. All papers are refereed.
The journal has an Editor-in-Chief who is responsible for ensuring that the journal focuses on current and emerging issues and challenges related to the management, production and use of official statistics and related public policy matters. The journal should publish papers of wide interest to both users and producers of official statistics. The journal should encourage papers with a focus on the basic principles for official statistics covering areas such as the importance of applying the best scientific methods, the need for statistical independence, balancing the needs of users with the burden on respondents, the continuing challenges around confidentiality, and the growing need for consistency and coherence across statistical domains and over time and for international comparability.
Authors and referees of all papers should bear in mind that many of the readers of the journal (particularly in the developing world) do not have easy access to libraries or to other journals, and therefore are strongly encouraged to make the papers as self-contained as possible, while of course giving proper bibliographic credit. Papers of more than 30 manuscript pages, including diagrams, tables and references, will normally not be considered for publication.

Methodology architecture: A roadmap for new methodological directions in the Australian Bureau of Statistics
Authors: Tam, Siu-Ming
Abstract: To maintain its strong brand as a central statistical agency into the 21st century, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is transforming the way it acquires, collates, uses, reuses and disseminates statistical information. To support this transformation, innovative, industrialised and contemporised statistical methods and tools will be required. Methodology architecture provides a roadmap for systematically assessing and developing these 21st century statistical methods and tools covering the full spectrum of the …statistical production cycle.

Strengthening methodological architecture with multiple frames and data sources
Authors: Harris, James M. | Clark, Cynthia Z.F.
Abstract: The United States Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) has long conducted statistical surveys and published official statistics about almost every aspect of agriculture. Survey frames include both a list of farm establishments and an area frame, which are often combined to produce multiple-frame estimates. The survey results have also been compared to administrative records on the disposition of commodities. The disposition of commodities, or other intermittent administrative records, which …are often received sometime after the survey results are published, must align with published results. For example, hog and pig inventories are published quarterly, while complete slaughter administrative information that matches the inventories is available six to seven months later. NASS has utilized balance sheets and other analysis tools in an expert review process to align the published results to the administrative information. However, the tools lack the statistical rigor that is required by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) statistical standards. They are also deficient in the area of statistical measures of error, and are somewhat dependent upon the analyst. This paper will describe efforts to combine the multiple-frame survey results and other data sources using rigorous, statistically defensible methodologies that strengthen the overall results and meet OMB guidelines.

Methodology and technology directions at Statistics New Zealand
Authors: Seyb, Allyson J.
Abstract: Statistics NZ aims to produce statistics that are fit for purpose in an efficient, sustainable and adaptive manner. However, balancing sound methodological solutions and agility is challenging. Statistics NZ has taken advantage of well-developed IT environments and clear strategic directions in terms of statistical architecture to develop and implement production systems that support the organisation's goals. Production systems are composed of standard methods, tools and processes. Outputs that use similar production methods …are processed on common platforms. The platforms also offer analysts the opportunity to create new production systems without the help of IT teams. The new platforms have encouraged standardisation and provide methods and tools that can be used to process and analyse data collected from traditional sample surveys or from an administrative source. When processing large volumes of data, the focus is on error reduction and automation of standard methods for each of the steps in the business process model. Centralised governance systems and a constructive culture of innovation make these changes possible by creating an environment conducive to managing change. Show more

Ethnicity, race and Māori life expectancy in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Waldon, John | Dunstan, Kim
Abstract: The expectation of indigenous mortality and survival has changed from "smoothing the pillow for the dying native" and now the challenge for New Zealand's official statistics agencies is to improve the quality of data on indigenous birth, morbidity and death data that has resonance with indigenous New Zealanders. Self-identified ethnicity has replaced the race-based classification system that had its roots in skin colour and a cultural divide in vogue in the 19th century. Understanding today's challenges …to accurate ethnicity coding will change the way we understand indigenous morbidity and life expectancy as we address health issues beyond skin colour. In this paper, an indigenous perspective on meaningful ethnicity coding considers factors associated with avoidable cancer mortality for indigenous people to illustrate how understanding indigenous health and demography can also benefit from multi-disciplinary approaches made possible by international collaboration.

The System of social statistical datasets of Statistics Netherlands: An integral approach to the production of register-based social statistics
Authors: Bakker, Bart F.M. | van Rooijen, Johan | van Toor, Leo
Abstract: More and more countries are using register data to replace traditional Censuses. Moreover, official statistics as well as research are increasingly based on register data or combinations of survey and register data. Register-based statistics offer wonderful new opportunities. At the same time, they require a new approach to how data are processed and managed. In this article, we present the System of social statistical datasets (SSD), a system of interlinked and standardized registers and surveys. All …production processes within Statistics Netherlands that pertain to social or spatial statistics converge in the SSD, which thus constitutes a shared output-oriented system. The SSD contains a wealth of information on persons, households, jobs, benefits, pensions, education, hospitalizations, crime reports, dwellings, vehicles and more. In the Netherlands it is the most important source for official social statistics and, because the data are available on request by means of remote access, also very popular in the social sciences. This article describes the contents of the SSD as well as the underlying process and organization, and demonstrates its possibilities. Show more

Data quality evaluation in statistical data processing
Authors: Šķiltere, Daina | Jesiļevska, Svetlana
Abstract: National Statistical Offices (NSO's) need data for the production of statistics. Apart from data obtained through surveys, NSO's are increasingly using other data sources (for example, data collected by other organizations). Disadvantages here come from the fact that very often an NSO uses an administrative data source for a purpose different than the one for which the data was originally collected. As a result of this difference, the 'statistical' usability of a data source needs …to be thoroughly studied by an NSO before its use. Some more possible problems of statistics are the following: data sources, recent data, regularity, timeliness of data, updating data, time series, data frequency (annual, quarterly, monthly or daily data required), data comparability (is it possible to compare one country's performance against another or group of countries etc.), data costs. Sometimes, the required data do not exist; data from different sources are not always comparable. Also, the quality of some information needs an improvement. It is therefore of vital importance that a systematic approach is available to determine the quality of statistical data. For this purpose a quality framework have been developed by authors to determine whether statistical data is of quality required for their intended use. Show more

Women outlive men by a half-decade. Offer some explanations for this.
This takes a lot of words to explain this. My great grandma lived to be 97 years old. She outlived my great grandpa by a couple of decades. She was born in 1920. Her husband died even before I was born, and I am 10. She died last year in spring. My Nana also thinks that she is going to outlive my grandpa by three decades. My grandpa,however, thinks he is going to outlive her. My mom knows and thinks that she is going to outlive my dad by five decades.

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is helpful in making a precise noninvasive evaluation of coronary anatomy, allowing concomitant evaluation of other cardiac structures. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of coronary artery variations detected by 64-slice mutidetector CT.
Materials and methods: The results of ECG-gated CCTA in 726 consecutive patients (mean age 58 years) were analysed retrospectively. The main indicationsfor CCTA were a typical chest pain, angina pectoris, screening for coronary artery disease and determination of the patency of bypass grafts or stents. Acquisitionwas performed with a 64-detector CT scanner with retrospective ECG gating. Imaging results were assessed by experienced cardiovascular radiologist.
Results: The overall incidence of coronary artery anomalies was 1.1% (8 out of 726 participants). The most common anomaly was an anomalous origin of the circumflex artery from the right coronary sinus with a retroaortic course (4 patients,0.6%), followed by origin of right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus (2 patients, 0.3%). One patient with abnormal origin of the left main artery from the right coronary sinus (0.1%) and 1 patient with a circumflex artery origin from the proximal segment of the right coronary artery (0.1%) were observed, both with retroartic course.
Conclusions: CCTA is a noninvasive imaging technique useful for the precise evaluation of variations of the coronary arteries. This study shows similar results to other reports on this subject.


We arrived at Indiana Beach a little before 12 noon… about an hour after we had wanted to. Oh well, we would lose about an hour of the first ride session of the day. At least we thought it was 12 noon since Monticello is in the Eastern Time Zone (same as Pennsylvania, so that is what my watch was set for). However, after we paid our $2 cover charge and started walking toward the board walk area, we noticed that none of the rides were yet running… and that there was no water even running in the flume. Something was odd. Then it hit me… there are a few parts of the US that do not observe Day Light Savings Time… and this area of Indiana was one of those parts… so, while it was in fact in the Eastern Time Zone, it was actually an hour behind my watch which was set for Daylight Savings Time, not Eastern STANDARD Time. (I hear this may change in 2006). Anyway… even though we were an hour late, we were right on time.
Even though Michele was not planning on riding much, we saw the price of individual tickets, did the math, and decided that two ride passes would be the way to go.
First up for me was Hoosier Hurricane. A walk on… but still had to wait. I quickly discovered IB's coaster policy of holding trains for a set amount of time, even when some seats are filled but there is no one else waiting in the station. Good points: Saves wear and tear on the coasters and it is great for people who are getting there a little bit after the first seats are filled. Bat points: Those seated and restrained have to wait, and you technically can't chose your own seat. Get there first you can… get there later, ops make you fill in empty seats. Oh well. I wasn't busy, so only once was I forced to chose a seat that I really didn't want. Anyway… a fun fast coaster with great drops and some wicked changes of direction. Love the fact that this thing uses buz bars instead of individual lap bars. Five rides in a row on this.
Next up we headed toward Corn Ball Express, but I took a slight detour and decided to take a credit ride on Tig'rr coaster. Another walk on, and I chose the front seat of the car. No belts, no bars, no restraints of any kind (except for gravity). In today's litigation happy world, I was surprised to see a coaster still being run like this (they way the cars were originally designed). I decided to catch another ride, but this time I tried the back seat. WOW! What a difference. It seemed so much faster and intense back there. Michele was standing in front of the entrance ramp… she held up the camera and motioned for me to take another ride. I climbed into the back of the car again and off I went. When I finally rejoined her, I said that I saw her with the camera just as I hit the main drop, but I apologized for not waving. With no belts and with the air on that hill, I decided I would rather hold on than wave for the camera and go airborne.
Since we were walking past it, I decided to hit Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain. However, it was closed. Seeing the crew and maintenance washing down the spot where someone lost their lunch, I can see that was a wise move.
After a short spin on the Antique Cars, I checked on Superstition Mountain again. It was now open. Somehow I managed to wedge myself into those cars. This is quite a unique ride. Not a tame ride… those "bone rattling" (or something like) warnings are there for good reasons…. But it is a wild and fun ride! Now I know how Indi and Short Round felt on those mine cars!
Continuing up the boardwalk, Galaxi was next. A standard coaster of this type, except for the fact that it ran FAST through its entire course. A quick pit stop at the Blue Bunny ice cream stand for milkshakes and we were on our way again.
We were not back to Cornball Express. Front seat ride. It was an okay coaster… but not much more than okay. Back seat ride. WOW! Great coaster! Great air. On my second back seat ride I made sure my belt was EXTREMELY tight… especially feeling the way that drop just after the helix tries to throw you out of the train. Five rides total… all but the first in the back seat. Very impressive "little coaster".
The surprise of the visit (entire vacation?) was yet to come. Den of Lost Thieves. We rode this ride's cousin of the same name in Wild Wood NJ… and its 3rd cousin twice removed at Lake Compounce (Ghose Hunt). After these two, I wasn't really expecting much from this ride. Was I wrong. Even as a stand alone dark ride this isn't bad. Add the interactive target practice and it is a very fun ride. We rode it twice… each time I out shot Michele.
Even though I told her it was rough, even though there were the signs, Michele said she wanted to give Superstition Mountain a try. We did. She said it was fun, but she kind of lived to regret it. She was kind of "fuzzy in the head" for the rest of the visit after that.
Knowing we had a few hours of driving ahead of us, and having ridden all we wanted to at IB, we decided to call it a day. Since our walk from Superstition Mountain took us back toward the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane, I decided to get a sixth and final ride on each of these… but not before one last round of target practice in Den of Lost Thieves. I even managed to squeeze in a final lap on Tig'rr Coaster.
One note... decided to skip "Air Crow" after seeing the "No Snapping Allowed" Sign.
The last ride of the day however came on the little log flume just before we left the park and headed toward our car. It was not extremely hot that day, but we were exhausted. We chalked it up to the fact that since everything is built practically on top of everything else, you spend more time walking up stairs than you do actually waiting for or riding on the rides.
Indiana Beach has a nice little "home town" feel to it… a more "traditional" feel than the big corporate parks. Kind of a "Knoebels West". Its clean, the employees are efficient and friendly at best… efficient if not very talkative at worst. While the price for individual tickets seems a bit steep… the price for a ride all day wrist band is very reasonable, considering the number of rides you can get. Only one down side: Holding coasters for fuller loads when some riders are already seated and ready to go. On the whole though, a very nice little park… one that I certainly would not mind visiting again.
Thanks for the report. It sounds like you had a fine time. I like a lot of onion but I don't care for sausage.
I don't know if you like the flat rides too much but IB has some nice running flats. The water adds to the excitement of some of these rides. Did you ride any of them?
I have ridden Tig'rr with my hands behind my head the entire time. There is really no chance of falling out of the ride as long as you stay seated.. They actually use to let kids 36" ride it, now you have to be 54" tall to ride. Glad to hear you had a good time Sflake.
We were doing the "whirlwind tour"... we wanted to be in Cincinnatti OH by around 11pm that night. Had we had ALL day to spend at IB... then we would probably had hit more of the flats. As it was, we got in as much as we could before we decided it was best to get back on the road.
IB flats seem to run full tilt with loooong ride cycles - best Tilt-a-Whirl and Falling Star I've ridden.
Cornball front row can be amazing. While both IB woodies give excellent rides, they are simply spectacular on hot, humid nights.
I absolutely get that you liked the park but you need to spend the entire day to truly appreciate all of it's charms. Not enough to do you say? Frankie's Castle, a few old school Skeeball games, some Fascination, a relaxing dinner in the Sky Room, an hour or two in the water park, take in the water show, tacos (!)...next time spend the day. You won't regret it.
And don't dismiss the snapless Flyers. Hanging out over the water adds a little something different you're not going to find anywhere else. The same goes for the swings and Paratrooper.
Just wondering, on a typical summer day at IB are there long waits for the rides? Thanks.
Nope. Longest waits are usually for the Den and LoCoSuMo.
Cool, that's good news. I live in Chicago, and I think I may take a day trip on my own down to Indiana Beach sometime in July. Thanks.
Has anyone manged to snap the flyers at IB? I still haven't really figured out snapping, but there seemed to be much more resistance on Air Crow than on any of the other flyers I've tried.
Not enough to do you say? Frankie's Castle, a few old school Skeeball games, some Fascination, a relaxing dinner in the Sky Room, an hour or two in the water park, take in the water show, tacos (!)...next time spend the day. You won't regret it.
1) I never said "not enough to do"... I just said that we knew we had a few hours of driving ahead of us... that's why we left when we did.
2) I gave the park a good review... I said I liked it. I would hate to see your reaction if I said something bad about it.
I did the same thing many times. Sometimes you just don't have enough time to leisurely stroll around absorbing everything the park has to offer. Naturally you want to get your fill of all the coasters first. Kennywood last year, I had 11am to 2pm to spend at Kennywood in order to make it to Conneaut Lake by 5pm. I missed a ton of things but managed to get in about 12 rides on their 5 coasters. I'll be going back possibly next year.
With our day divided between park time and travel time, we decided to concentrate on the items higher up on our list than the flats.
