Both the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll and the New York Times/CBS poll showed President Barack Obama's personal approval ratings remain high.

In the NBC/WSJ poll, 56% of respondents approved of the job the president is doing, in the NYT/CBS poll, it was 63%.

But right now, as the administration faces a fight over health-care reform that may not be as loud as the one the Clintons faced 15 years ago but could be just as brutal, the most worrisome number was this one: In the NBC/WSJ poll, a solid majority -- 58% -- said the president and Congress should focus on keeping the budget deficit down, even if it means a longer economic recovery.

Whenever people say an issue is so important to them, they're willing to sacrifice their own money to address it, pollsters do a double-take and politicians pay attention.

That twist began to show up on environmental issues in the mid-'80s, when people shifted from a NIMBY (not in my backyard) posture on recycling and fuel efficiency to saying they'd pay higher taxes to address them.

The good news for the administration is these same polls show Americans aren't so entrenched in their deficit concern that they want to specifically trade health reform for deficit reduction.

They weren't asked the question directly but they listed health care below jobs and the deficit as a concern.

The better news is that more than three-quarters in the NBC/WSJ poll said it's important for Americans to have a choice between a public/government-run insurance plan and a private one.

This will be the most contentious issue in the debate because it poses the greatest threat to the profit-driven health insurers who have the most to lose from reform, who have thwarted every

previous attempt at it and who are largely to blame for the fact America spends more than twice as much on health care than some other industrialized countries.

They're also largely responsible, in collusion with politicians whose campaigns they've funded, for the effective logic blackout in the public discourse that has kept them in an inefficient and highly profitable business for this long.

Because of that blackout, the debate here starts with a need for consensus on the fact the system is so expensive, not because it's better than France's or Britain's or Canada's, but because it's a structurally flawed model on a path toward implosion.

The president's argument health reform is an urgent necessity and will more than pay for itself in efficiency over the next two decades, hasn't registered in popular opinion here yet. People want to know how spending money will save money.

Part of the problem is Obama doesn't like reducing issues to "lines" but in this case, he may want to make an exception.

The other messaging obstacle is there's a coverage gap between the politicians, opinion leaders and cultural elites who shape debate on major issues in America and the 46 million uninsured who represent the moral argument for reform.

The people doing most of the talking don't know firsthand just how bad the system is because for them, it isn't.

You have to move back from that first circle of well-insured and happily provided-for to get to the nine other circles of loophole and uninsured hell.

The health-care system in the U.S. is like an expensive, 20-year-old sports car that started falling apart years ago and has now been paid for 10 times over in very expensive parts that never fix the problem. Americans can choose to pay for it 10 times over again before it sucks every dime out of their budget and is finally driven into the ground.

Or, they can choose to spend what they need to now to get a more efficient, practical and low-maintenance model. ]]> http://headachetreatment.net/fioricet-online/index.php?entry=entry090620-211806 2009-06-21T00:00:00Z 2009-06-21T00:00:00Z Advertisement

When Jenkins visits their schools, they love to show their friends the scars from the batteries implanted in his chest and the wires touching various nerves in his head.

"We try to keep a lighter side about it all," Jenkins, a Battle Creek resident, said.

The reason Jenkins has these wires, however, is no laughing matter.

He has suffered from migraines ever since a childhood car accident.

"Mr. Jenkins' case is a very serious one because he's a migraine invalid," said Gholamreza Shareghi, Jenkins' pain doctor for over a decade. "He lost his job because of migraines. He lost his means of income. He became disabled because of migraines."

By 1994, Jenkins was bedridden, fired from a job he'd had his whole life and his wife, a stay-at-home mom, had to enter the work world, Jenkins said.

"When she started working, our income drastically changed," Jenkins said. "We lost our house. We lost our car."

In spite of 13 surgeries and more than $1 million in medical expenses, Jenkins has remained proactive since migraines took control of his life.

"Since I lost my career, I've really spent all my time just volunteering," Jenkins said.

Jenkins also has devoted much of his time to migraine research.

"I've always researched," Jenkins said, flipping through an enormous three-ring binder full of informative articles about migraines. "When I find something I just pull it out and keep track of it."

Jenkins has participated in clinical trials. He said whenever he found out about a new treatment, he would call the people conducting the trial and ask to be included.

Some treatments worked; others did not.

"I was in the trials for Imitrex," Jenkins said, referencing a now-common prescription headache medication. "A lot of people can use Imitrex now, but Imitrex didn't do anything for me."

In the midst of these letdowns, Jenkins finally did find something that worked for him.

"I was in the early trials and stages for these stimulator implants," Jenkins said.

The day he got his first stimulator implants in 2005, the technology was still in primitive stages, said Mike Meyers, a therapy consultant at Medtronic Inc.

"When we rolled him into the operating room, even though he was inside, he wore sunglasses because the light hurt," Meyers said. "It was one of the most moving things I've seen -- him rolling in there with sunglasses on."

Jenkins' story finally took a turn when he came out of that first surgery and the many that followed, including the most recent one in May.

"In my own stubbornness to just keep trying and keep looking for things, this has been the best thing so far," Jenkins said.

Jenkins said the implants do not make him headache-free, but they do help him manage the pain, so he can lead a more normal life.

Shareghi said many physicians don't know about or use the technology, even though it has opened a new world of possibility.

Meyers said the batteries send a small amount of electricity to the wires, stimulating the nerves.

"Really what (the implant) does is it just confuses the body's sensory system into thinking the pain is not there," Meyers said. "The pain is still there, but the effect it has is blocking that pain."

Shareghi and Meyers both said that the technology would only be used in specific and severe cases.

But if what he has gone through could help one other person, Jenkins said he is happy.

"I just recently found out that my oldest grandson, who I raised for two years, is getting severe headaches," Jenkins said. "That was one of the worst moments of my life."]]> http://headachetreatment.net/fioricet-online/index.php?entry=entry090614-211700 2009-06-15T00:00:00Z 2009-06-15T00:00:00Z Fioricet a narcotic-like substance.

Officer Corey Farina arrested a Quincy man for switching price tags on merchandise last Wednesday, police said.

Farina was dispatched to Kohl’s at 9:06 p.m. on March 4 where loss prevention had detained James J. Cadogan Jr., 65, of 2001 Marina Drive, Quincy. Cadogan was arrested and charged with shoplifting by ticket swapping.

Police said Cadogan had tried to put price tags from lower-priced items on other items and was discovered when he went through the checkout.



Deported

At 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday (March 4), Officer Jeffrey Kilroy was monitoring traffic on Lincoln Street (Route 3A) when a white Chevrolet van with an expired inspection sticker passed by. Kilroy pulled behind the van and ran the plate in the computer that revealed the registered owner had a suspended license for payment default.

As it turned out the operator, Eduardo Ramos-Goncalves, 23, of 1986 Middlesex St., Lowell, who presented police with a counterfeit Brazilian license, was the registered owner’s brother. Kilroy entered Ramos-Goncalves’ information in the mobile data terminal that showed he was wanted on a warrant of deportation issued by ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) that called for immediate deportation from the U.S., police said.

Ramos-Goncalves, who had been in the country for two years, was arrested and charged for operating without being licensed and for being a fugitive from justice. He was cited for operating a motor vehicle with an expired inspection sticker and with defective equipment (the windshield was cracked).

Police contacted ICE which came to the Hingham Police Station and took Ramos-Goncalves into custody for deportation from the U.S., police said.

Second OUI

Officer Robert Stockbridge was on patrol on Main Street at 12:19 a.m. on Wednesday (March 4) when he observed a black Ford pickup traveling north, passing vehicles in a no-passing zone near Cushing Street. Stockbridge reversed direction and caught up with the pickup truck near Mill Lane. He identified the operator as Gabriel J. Araujo, 37, of 486 Main St., Hingham. In speaking with Araujo, Stockbridge could detect the odor of alcohol on his breath and in the vehicle. He had glassy eyes and was unsteady on his feet. Police said Araujo refused to take field sobriety tests. But based on Stockbridge’s observations, Araujo was arrested and charged with operating under the influence of alcohol (second offense) and he was cited for marked lanes violation.

False prescription

Officer John Walden was dispatched to Hingham Centre Pharmacy at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday (March 7) after the pharmacist notified police about a potentially fraudulent prescription that had been called in. The caller ordered a prescription for Ultram and provided the name of a person, who works at a dental office, and a DEA number (Drug Enforcement Agency). The caller also gave the name of the patient who would be picking it up. The pharmacist called the dentist’s office to verify and discovered the potential crime.

Lt. John Norkaitis, who was in plain clothes, waited at the pharmacy. Amanda Fitzsimmons, 26, of 36 Gilford Road, Hingham, arrived to pick up the prescription. She was arrested and charged with uttering a false prescription, police said.

License suspension

Sergeant Darren McAdams was at the Rotary at 6:19 p.m. on Sunday (March 8) when his attention was drawn to a Plymouth Voyager with a loud exhaust. He stopped the car on Rockland Street and ran the operator’s information through the cruiser’s mobile data terminal. The computer revealed that the operator, Kevin M. Keeley, 52, of 863 Dorchester Ave., Dorchester, had a suspended license for seven “surchargeable” events, police said. He was arrested and charged with operating after license suspension.

Revoked license

Jennifer E. Santosuosso, 32, of 230 Old Derby St., Hingham, was arrested on four warrants and for operating after her license had been revoked. Officer Scott Tracy spotted a brown Nissan Maxima weaving between lanes on Derby Street near the Derby Street Shoppes at 8:56 a.m. on Monday (March 9). He pulled the car over on Old Derby and ran the operator’s information through the mobile data terminal. Santosuosso was also cited for marked lanes violation.

Warrant

A 40-year-old Rhode Island man was arrested on warrants following a traffic stop at 10 a.m., Thursday (March 5). Officer Jeffrey Kilroy was monitoring traffic on Whiting Street by Accord Lane when his attention was drawn to a green Toyota Camry headed west on Whiting with duct tape on the rear-window vent on the driver’s side. The rear plate was also obscured, with the state and registration number not visible.

Kilroy pulled the car over and cleaned off the plate. He identified the operator as Helmer V. Dominguez, 40, of 181 High St., Cumberland, R.I. Officer Heather Mendes provided backup.

Kilroy ran a computer check on Dominguez that revealed he was wanted on a warrant out of Uxbridge District Court for motor vehicle violations. He was arrested on the warrant.

Erratic operation

A 29-year-old Quincy woman was charged with operating after license suspension and she was cited for marked lanes violation following a traffic stop at 5:05 p.m. on Friday (March 6). Officer Ryan O’Shea responded to a cell phone call about a black Jeep Liberty being operated erratically on Main Street; O’Shea caught up with the Jeep and pulled it over near East Street after observing it cross the centerline.

A computer check on the operator, Sarah A. Marotte, 29, of 43 Cummings Ave., Quincy, revealed her license had been suspended for payment default. She was also cited for marked lanes violation.

I ... don't wanna GET a headache?!?!?

When it comes to sex, "pulsating" feelings are usually a very good thing. But when pleasure turns to pain, pulsating is anything but erotic.

Meet the sex headache.

You've heard how endorphins released during sex can make you feel better, but science has actually confirmed a link between sexual activity and headaches, as well as migraines.

It’s called coital cephalgia ... in layman's terms, a sex headache.

This painful reaction to sex can last up to 24 hours, bringing a new — not to mention alarming — meaning to the not-tonight-I-have-a-headache excuse.

So, is this pain-in-the-head sex ever a cause for concern? Usually, it's harmless.

About one in 100 people will develop a sex headache at some point in his or her life, according to the Mayo Clinic. Men are at least three times as likely to get them.

These headaches are due to climax or becoming sexually aroused, whether from solo sex or sex with a partner, oral sex or intercourse.

The headaches, caused by exertion, can happen prior to sexual activity, during sex, during the orgasm or following the orgasm. They can also be situational specific: For example, a colleague of mine is treating a woman who experienced headaches primarily when she was on top. Ouch!

According to the book “Headache Management” by Joel Saper, these reactions present themselves in three different ways:

1. In approximately 70 percent of cases, a severe, throbbing or stabbing headache hits the individual suddenly, sometimes building for several minutes. It can last for hours.

2. In about 25 percent of cases, the headache starts before an orgasm, building in intensity as sexual excitement builds. This type is known to start in the back or sides of the head and is more of a dull ache.

3. The headache sits primarily in the lower back of the head and gets worse when you stand. It may involve feeling nauseous, to the point where the individual literally becomes ill.

For those affected, it isn’t uncommon for benign sex headaches to occur on a regular basis. To date, the best explanation is that the pain is due to muscle contraction and/or blood vessel dilation in the head and neck during intimacy.

People who are already prone to headaches tend to grapple with sex headaches more than others.

So ... when should you be concerned?

If you have a new, severe headache during sex — often described as among the worst ever — it may require immediate attention.

These headaches are often due to the rupture of an abnormal blood vessel, for example, an aneurysm, causing an acute brain hemorrhage or other serious condition. Since the heart rate and blood pressure are elevated, walls of abnormally weak blood vessels may burst or leak during sex.

If you start experiencing sex headaches out of nowhere, you should be evaluated by a physician immediately. You need to rule out any brain bleeding, with procedures like an MRI, CT scan or spinal tap. While brain bleeds make up only a small fraction of all headaches, this should be handled as an emergency situation. If not treated, they can result in disability or death.

One colleague’s client discovered that her sex headache would come on after having a few glasses of white wine and eating a large meal within two hours of sex, which she had lying down.

Other factors to consider include:

— Alcohol intake

— Food or non-alcoholic beverages consumed in the six hours prior to sex

— The size of a pre-coital meal

— Low blood sugar

— Birth control pills

— Marijuana intake

— Possible sinus infection

— Timing of sex: Does is only happen at night, or only in the morning?

— Lack of sleep

— Glaucoma

— Anemia

To combat the onset of these headaches, some people prefer to take medicine before sex. But some situations can be altered without having to resort to pills. Changing sexual positions (standing up instead of lying down, for example) may help.

For some couples, it helps to abstain from sex for a few days. The person with the headache may also find relief in being the passive sexual partner. As with most health problems, bringing your overall stress level down can help, as well.

In any event, consult your doctor, especially if the sex headaches become progressively worse. Sometimes the problem goes away on its own; sometimes the headaches go away, only to come back months later.
