You're right, they cause you to execrete the K from the system (and also increase loss of Ca). Learn something everyday. (Thanks to my pharm textbook for this delectible fact.)

New Hampshire? Weird. I'm also surprised that Grassley is on there--I've had the opportunity to meet him, and it's odd to me that he wouldnt' sign.

I am pretty baffled that they reported the low Potassium levels in her blood but now don't think it was eating disorder related. As far as my limited knowledge on that goes, if she wasn't taking insulin, laxatives, vomiting, had an adequate diet, taking beta-blockers (for high blood pressure, migraines, anxiety), or didn't have cancer it's a complete mystery how it was low. From the sounds of whatever she was initially taken to the hospital with, I can't imagine them giving her anything that would radically decrease the level of K in her blood. And to be honest, low K is really the only thing that makes sense given the symptoms. Basically, the low levels of Potassium would have made basic neural firing and communication completely effed up. Without that being the cause, honestly, this makes no sense.

More complete article Schiavo Autopsy Finds No Sign of Trauma By MITCH STACY, Associated Press Writer 26 minutes ago LARGO, Fla. - An autopsy on Terri Schiavo backed her husband's contention that she was in a persistent vegetative state, finding that she had massive and irreversible brain damage and was blind, the medical examiner's office said Wednesday. It also found no evidence that she was strangled or otherwise abused. But what caused her collapse 15 years remained a mystery. The autopsy and post-mortem investigation found no proof that she had an eating disorder, as was suspected at the time, Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Jon Thogmartin said. Autopsy results on the 41-year-old brain-damaged woman were made public Wednesday, more than two months after Schiavo's death March 31 ended an internationally watched right-to-die battle between her husband and parents that engulfed the courts, Congress and the White House and divided the country. Thogmartin also said she did not appear to have suffered a heart attack and there was no evidence that she was given harmful drugs or other substances prior to her death. She died from dehydration, Thogmartin said. He said she would not have been able to eat or drink if she had been given food by mouth as her parents' requested. "Removal of her feeding tube would have resulted in her death whether she was fed or hydrated by mouth or not," Thogmartin told reporters. He also said she was blind, because the "vision centers of her brain were dead." Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, had fought their son-in-law, Michael Schiavo, in court for seven years over her fate. Thogmartin said that Schiavo's brain was about half of its expected size when she died 13 days after her feeding tube was removed. "The brain weighed 615 grams, roughly half of the expected weight of a human brain," he said. "This damage was irreversible, and no amount of therapy or treatment would have regenerated the massive loss of neurons." He said a review of hospital records of her 1990 showed she had a diminished potassium level in her blood. But he said that did not prove she had an eating disorder, because the emergency treatment she received at the time could have affected the potassium level. The cause of her collapse has never been definitely proven, but testimony in a 1992 civil trial indicated that she probably was suffering from an eating disorder that led to a severe chemical imbalance. The Schindlers, though, don't believe she had an eating disorder and have accused Michael Schiavo of abusing his wife, a charge he vehemently denied. Speaking before the report was issued, Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, said the Schindlers continue to engage in a "smear campaign against Michael to deflect the real issues in the case, which were Terri's wishes and her medical condition." Bill Pellan, chief investigator for the medical examiner's office, said Tuesday that Thogmartin reviewed police reports, medical records and other documents in trying to determine the cause of her brain damage. During the long legal battle, numerous abuse complaints made to state social workers were ruled unfounded. Michael Schiavo convinced the courts his wife would not want to be kept alive artificially with no hope of recovery, contending that she made statements to that effect before her collapse. Her parents doubt she had any such end-of-life wishes and also disputed that she was in a persistent vegetative state. They believed she could get better with therapy.

Link Autopsy: Schiavo Didn't Suffer Trauma By MITCH STACY Associated Press Writer Published June 15, 2005, 10:18 AM CDT TAMPA, Fla. -- Terri Schiavo did not suffer any trauma prior to her 1990 collapse and her brain was about half of normal size when she died, according to results released Wednesday of an autopsy conducted on the severely brain-damaged woman. Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Jon Thogmartin concluded that there was no evidence of strangulation or other trauma leading to her collapse. He also said she did not appear to have suffered a heart attack.

I am not going to lie. I had a Teddy Ruxpin and about five million tapes and videos to go with it. I used to have nightmares about those villians, mudblubs or something. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Linky Teddy Ruxpin Makes His Return Tue Jun 14, 6:11 PM ET The Care Bears. The Cabbage Patch Kids. Teddy Ruxpin. For children of the '80s, they were toy-store celebrities who forced parents to queue up at dawn or fight for products in aisles across America. Now, BackPack Toys is hoping that Ruxpin, like the Bears and Kids before him, can ride a wave of nostalgia into the toy bins of a new generation. And independent The Ad Store—the shop that caused a stir with its GoDaddy.com Super Bowl spot— is charged with helping him get there. The Ad Store's two-pronged attack will use print ads to lure adults and TV to target children. The agency, which won the business without a review, is still developing creative concepts, said managing partner Tim Arnold. First work is expected to break in August. Ruxpin has enjoyed swift trading on eBay, and 85 percent of adults who owned the toy as kids still recognize the brand, Arnold said. "We are definitely going to target parents who will remember Teddy from their childhoods, as well as grandparents who remember giving Teddy to their children," said Helen Hames, BackPack Toys director of marketing and corporate relations. A budget for the effort has not been determined, Hames said. Ruxpin, which debuted as a Worlds Of Wonder toy in 1985, is due to relaunch in September— most notably in 2,000 Target stores. MP3 cartridges have replaced his original cassette tapes, but Teddy Ruxpin's animatronic eyes and mouth will move in trademark fashion as he narrates a series of stories about the land of Grundo. Arnold said Ruxpin shows the "wonderful other end of the Richter scale" from the controversial SuperBowl spot, which only aired once before being pulled by Fox.

Let this media circus begin... Schiavo Autopsy Report Due Out Today By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: June 15, 2005 Filed at 8:19 a.m. ET TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The lawyer for Terri Schiavo's husband says he's confident the long-awaited autopsy report on the brain-damaged woman will show no evidence she was abused before she lapsed into a persistent vegetative state. Skip to next paragraph Multimedia More than two months after Schiavo's death ended an internationally watched right-to-die battle, autopsy results on the 41-year-old brain damaged woman were to be made public Wednesday. Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Jon Thogmartin said he will release the autopsy results at an 11 a.m. news conference. Attorneys for Terri Schiavo's husband, Michael Schiavo, and parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, expect to get the report hours earlier. Her parents, who fought their son-in-law in court for seven years over her fate, say they are hoping the autopsy can shed some light on what led to her collapse in February 1990. Terri Schiavo, who most doctors said was in a persistent vegetative state, died March 31, nearly two weeks after the feeding tube keeping her alive was removed by a court order sought by her husband. The dispute reached the halls of Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court and made news around the world. The cause of her collapse has never been definitely proven, but testimony in a 1992 civil trial indicated that she probably was suffering from an eating disorder that led to a severe chemical imbalance and a heart attack. The Schindlers, though, don't believe she had an eating disorder and have accused Michael Schiavo of abusing his wife, a charge he vehemently denies. Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, said the Schindlers continue to engage in a ''smear campaign against Michael to deflect the real issues in the case, which were Terri's wishes and her medical condition.'' ''I think everyone who has followed the facts in this case knows there is no substance to those (abuse) charges, and I'm confident we're not going to hear anything differently from the medical examiner,'' Felos said. Bill Pellan, chief investigator for the medical examiner's office, said Tuesday that Thogmartin reviewed police reports, medical records and other documents in trying to determine the cause of her brain damage. The issue of whether she was in a persistent vegetative state ''will be addressed,'' Pellan said, although he would not comment further Tuesday. ''Our family would really like to know what caused Terri's collapse,'' Terri Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler, said. ''I don't know what they can and can't find 15 years after the fact. If we could get some of our questions answered as to how Terri ended up the way she did, that would be helpful.'' During the long legal battle, numerous abuse complaints made to state social workers were ruled unfounded. Michael Schiavo convinced the courts his wife would not want to be kept alive artificially with no hope of recovery, contending that she made statements to that effect before her collapse. Her parents doubt she had any such end-of-life wishes and also disputed that she was in a persistent vegetative state. They believed she could get better with therapy.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) I don't want to get into an argument of this ridiculous subject, but the link to the site you gave actually puts in the claim that he contradicts himself. He supposedly contradicts himself by offering a 16 hour clock. That is all I was saying. That site is rediculous and lacks all credibility. Not only is he crazy, but the people that created the website to the link you gave out are dumb as s***. Um, okay?

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) It wasn't his site. It was someone else's site that you gave that was trying to disprove his theory. Actually, the site I put out there was one that was about how crazy he is and how there isn't an actual theory that he has put out there--essentially that site says, there's no theory to debunk. Because he's crazy.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) That page already seems moronic. I don't agree with the timecube, but the person should know that he is not contradicting himself by giving a 16 hour clock instead of a 96 hour one. We have a 12 hour clock, but have 24 hours in a day. We don't have 24 hour clocks. He is simply taking 96 and dividing it by his 4 quadrants giving him a 16 hour clock. Right off the bat this page doesn't have much credibility. Right, that's the point. He's crazy. And that is funny.
