The AAMC last month approved changes to the Medical College Admission Test® (MCAT®) that will require aspiring doctors to have an understanding of the social and behavioral sciences, in addition to a solid background in the natural sciences.
The changes, scheduled to go into effect in 2015, are the first to the MCAT exam since 1991, and are designed to help students prepare for medical practice in a changing health care system.
"We all know America is becoming much more diverse, and we have an aging population unlike anything we've seen in this country," said AAMC President and CEO Darrell G. Kirch, M.D. "These changes to the exam have been done with a very clear eye toward the changes that are occurring in health care and the kinds of physicians we will need."
Those future physicians, Kirch said, will need to know about people and the behavioral and socio-cultural determinants of health. In addition to a shifting population and health care system, Kirch pointed to AAMC opinion research that found the public believes physicians have a strong medical background but lack bedside manner.
"In our view, bedside manner is a complex mix of understanding people, where they come from, how they think, and why they behave the way they do," Kirch said. "We think this shift in emphasis will help us round out that dimension of a good doctor."
The new MCAT exam, which was developed by a 21-member advisory panel known as the MR5 Advisory Committee, will balance testing in the natural sciences with testing in the behavioral and social sciences and in critical analysis and reasoning.
"Our goal was to preserve what works in the exam, eliminate what was not beneficial, and augment the exam with some new approaches that fit with what we're looking for in physicians of the future," said Ronald D. Franks, M.D., vice president of health sciences at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine and vice chair of the MR5 committee. "I think students will come into medical school better prepared for what the expectations will be in the future."
The revised MCAT exam will include a new section, "Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior," that will test students' understanding of how these disciplines influence behavior and behavior change; cultural and social differences that affect well-being; and the relationship among socioeconomic status, access to resources, and well-being. This new section recognizes recent findings—highlighted in the AAMC report "Behavioral and Social Science Foundations for Future Physicians"—that integrating social and behavioral sciences into medical education can improve health care.
"We've proven that social and behavioral factors are strong determinants of the health of an individual," Kirch said. "This part of the exam will test concepts from these disciplines to explore how they influence a person's perceptions, reactions to the world, their behaviors, what they think about themselves and other people."
A second new section, "Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills," will test students' reasoning ability by asking them to analyze and evaluate passages from social science and humanities disciplines, including ethics and philosophy, cross-cultural studies, and population health. This section will not require specific subject matter knowledge, but by focusing on these disciplines, it will encourage students to read broadly in preparation for medical school.
"Students need to read widely and be socially aware," said Steven G. Gabbe, M.D., senior vice president for health sciences at the Ohio State University Medical Center and MR5 committee chair. "If they are reading newspapers and magazines and listening to issues that are discussed about health reform and political debates that will be ongoing, they should do very well."
Kirch noted that in creating the new exam, the MR5 committee reviewed more than 2,700 informational and opinion surveys from faculty, medical students, and residents about what content they considered most important to success in medical school. Based on that feedback, the committee revamped the two natural sciences sections, asking test takers to combine their knowledge of natural science concepts with scientific inquiry and reasoning skills to solve problems that demonstrate their preparation for medical school. These new sections build on the 2009 AAMC-HHMI report "Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians" and will cover concepts that are taught in introductory courses in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and physics.
In addition, the new MCAT exam will eliminate the current writing section. With all the revisions, testing time for the new exam will be about six and a half hours, compared to four and a half hours for the current exam.
The revised MCAT is part of a broader effort by the AAMC and medical schools to rethink the medical school admissions process by considering not only students' MCAT exam scores and academic records, but also interviews with admissions committees, letters of recommendation, community service, and personal experiences.
"We saw this as a very important responsibility, far beyond creating a new exam, but really creating an exam that was part of a process that led to a holistic approach to admissions," Gabbe said. "While the MCAT is certainly an important part of the assessment of applicants, it's not the only way to assess an applicant."
The MR5 committee that developed the new exam was appointed by the AAMC in 2008 to review the current version of the MCAT exam. The committee consists of medical school deans, admissions officers, academic and student affairs professionals, pre-health advisers, undergraduate faculty, and a medical student and resident. This is the fifth revision of the MCAT exam in its 84-year history. After the scheduled 2015 launch, the new MCAT exam likely will be in place until 2030.

Patrick Kennedy Reflects on Cousin's Overdose
The Kennedy family has a long history of falling victim to tragedy, from assassinations to substance abuse and mental health issues. Many Americans are familiar with Ted Kennedy's alcohol use earlier in his career, which led to a car wreck that took the life of a young woman. His son Patrick, a vocal advocate for recovery and mental health parity, also struggled with substance use for many years.
Recently deceased author Christopher Kennedy Lawford was also in recovery for mental health-related issues. Last week, tragedy struck the family once again when Robert Kennedy's granddaughter died from a suspected overdose, People reports. Saoirse Kennedy Hill, Patrick Kennedy's cousin, died at the age of 22.
If the reports are accurate, Saoirse is now among the staggering number of Americans who lose their lives to an overdose. Three years before the young lady's untimely death, she wrote an essay for her high school newspaper about her battles with depression and suicidal ideation.
"My depression took root in the beginning of my middle school years and will be with me for the rest of my life," Saoirse wrote. "Although I was mostly a happy child, I suffered bouts of deep sadness that felt like a heavy boulder on my chest."
At a time like this, who better to speak on the subject than former Rhode Island congressman Patrick Kennedy.
Bringing Depression and Addiction Out of the Shadows
Patrick Kennedy has been fighting to end the stigma of addiction and mental health disorders for years. He has a track record for working on expanding access to treatment and recovery services. His effort to ensure that insurance companies cover mental health services, in the same way they would other diseases, has been instrumental in protecting the rights of millions of Americans.
Following his cousin's death, Patrick shared some kind words about her with People. He said that "She opened the door for her peers to also come out and not feel shamed by this illness and she is a real hero in my family."
"She broke the silence. And we mourn her loss but her memory will live on as someone who wasn't going to keep silent and wasn't going to be feeling as if she had something shameful, but rather something medical that she sought treatment for."
Saoirse's story is not unique; millions of Americans continue to struggle in the shadows with mental illness and substance use disorder. Patrick Kennedy used the opportunity to call for a more significant response in dealing with the epidemic we face.
"This affects every single family in America," said Kennedy. "It's way past time that we deal with this in a way that we would deal with any other public health crisis."
Seeking Help for Addiction and Mental Illness
At Celebrate Hope, our thoughts and prayers go out to the Kennedy family. We understand the deadly nature of mental disease and hope that Hill's memory will inspire other young people to seek assistance.
Please contact us at your earliest convenience if you are struggling with alcohol or substance use disorder. We offer several programs that can help you learn how to lead a life in recovery.

With the acquisition of Six Flags Theme Parks by Time Warner in 1992, a great effort was made to bring the "theme" back to the amusement park chain.
In some cases, as the parks had grown, little or no effort was put into creating themed areas other than to impy the theme was "fun." Therefore, one of the challenges was to bring a cohesive look and feeling to the many unthemed sections of the parks that had become a loosely related hodgepodge of random buildings and attractions.
One of the most challenging areas to bring a theme to at Six Flags Great Adventure was the area along the Great Lake simply because it lacked major rides and roller coasters. However, it was home to three of the park's major showplaces as well as the scenic lake itself. For 1993, the Lakefront was created with a unifying nautical theme to fit the water's edge.
The jewel of the new Lakefront was going to be a new restaurant which was never built called the Lakefront Yacht Club. Situated on the banks of the lake between the Great Lake Grandstand and the Bandstand on the Lake, the restaurant would have been an upscale seafood establishment offering panoramic views of the park's scenic lakeside area. Large pleasure boats docked nearby were even pictured in the new facility's renderings hinting that cruises on the lake may have even been a consdieration, most likely for special occasions and chartered parties.
The restaurant would have been destined to be the fanciest in the park with sit-down dining and possibly a bar/lounge area, all overlooking the Great Lake. The interior was going to have an upscale nautical theme with stained wood reminiscent of classic wooden yacht decking.
It appears that the Lakefront Yacht Club would have been the park's first real attempt at creating a fine dining experience at Six Flags Great Adventure and a real chance for its guests to get away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding park in a quiet refined waterside escape.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/29/15
Posted by Sean Ian Mills
I don't know why this happens, but it always seems like my favorite comics all come out in the same week. It's a nightmare for the wallet but a celebration for reading! This week, we've got new issues of Ant-Man, Spider-Woman, Lumberjanes, Grayson, We Are Robin, Harley Quinn and more! It's great!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batgirl #43 for another nearly perfect issue. Batgirl is everything I could possibly want from a superhero comic these days, and the creative team pulls it off so effortlessly.
Batgirl vs. a tiger!!
I hope DC keeps this team and this direction around for a long time to come.
Comic Reviews: Last Days of Ant-Man #1, Batgirl #43, Cyborg #2, Grayson #11, Harley Quinn #19, Justice League of America #3, Lumberjanes #17, Ninjak #6, Spider-Woman #10 and We Are Robin #3.
Last Days of Ant-Man #1
Writer: Nick Spencer
Artist: Ramon Rosanas
Ant-Man has been one of my favorite comics over the past year. It's a fun, enjoyable series riding the wave of popularity of the movie; definitely one of Marvel's best efforts in that regard. And I'm just as excited to see it's return in the All-New, All-Different Marvel. But until then, Spencer and Rosanas give us a nice little farewell issue.
Scott meets with his financier, Mary Morgenstern, at the retirement home that she runs in Miami. Since his security agency is kind of a bust, and since she paid him a lot of money, she has Ant-Man sneak onto the yacht of a local crime boss known as the Slug, so that he can steal back an Asgardian amulet for Mary. The plan goes off with a fun action scene and some witty one-liners, and when he returns the amulet to Mary, he's shocked to discover that she is really Miss Patriot, a superhero from the Golden Age. In fact, the whole retirement home is filled with old heroes from the 40s and 50s, and Mary uses the amulet to give them all one more day of youth so they can go out and have some superhero fun.
Mary then reveals that she can see the future, and he knows that Secret Wars is coming to end the world. She warns Scott that he only has one day left to live. Scott immediately tries to see his daughter, but it's the middle of the night, she's away on a school trip, and his ex-wife shuts him down. So he goes to a bar to get drunk and runs into the new Beetle. He tries to arrest her, but she instead convinces him that it would be a lot more fun to spend their last night on Earth getting laid.
The next morning in bed, while the Beetle is telling Scott that he was OK and she was the best he's ever had, the world ends.
Comic Rating: 8/10 – Very Good.
This was another fun issue of Ant-Man, with Spencer clearly having some fun on this 'final' story before the end of the world. He solves the mystery of Mary Morgenstern, celebrates some Golden Age heroes, and introduces a dalliance between Ant-Man and one of his pet characters, the new Beetle. I love it when writers pluck random characters from obscurity and shape them into something better. The new Beetle was first introduced by Ed Brubacker when he was writing Captain America. She was just a random henchperson. But Spencer has been having a lot of fun with her in the past few years, and I think she'd be a neat supporting character in Scott's life when his series comes back.
Did he really wear the helmet to bed?
As always, Scott Lang is the star of this series, and Spencer still does a great job with the character. He uses Mary to talk up Scott's accomplishments as a hero, helping the little guy to appreciate all he's done with his life. We get some great action in Scott's escape from the Slug's yacht, as well as some nicely peppered one-liners. This is just another quality issue of this great series, and Spencer seems more than ready to dive into the relaunch in a few months.
Writers: Brenden Fletcher and Cameron Stewart
Artists: Babs Tarr and Juan Castro
It's always a good week when a new issue of Batgirl comes out. This is probably my favorite DC Comic at the moment. This is the sort of comic I aspire to make myself someday.
Random tigers are attacking young programmers at all the hottest tech start-ups in Burnside, including Foxtek. The bad guys are using the employee IDs of Burnside College students, including Batgirl's friend and ally, Qadir. Batgirl is on the case, but she's also juggling bridesmaid duties for her friend Alysia's wedding, and she's got to deal with the fact that Frankie wants to get out in the field more and more to help out. In fact, at one point, she steals Babs' Batgirl cowl and does a little footwork herself.
In the end, Frankie's investigation reveals that the only connection between the Burnside students is Babs' friend Jeremy, but Babs doesn't believe it. And Alysia's fiancee, Jo, is connected to the tigers! Their activist group intercepted the tigers on their way to a private zoo, but somebody else has been setting them free to attack programmers. Jo decides to just let the tigers go rather then let them fall into the wrong hands, but she's captured by the villainous Velvet Tiger!
Comic Rating: 9/10 – Great.
This issue of Batgirl has everything I could want in a comic book. It's got a great superhero story, with random tigers attacking start-up tech companies in Burnside. With Batgirl on the case, she has to collect evidence, follow clues and actually figure out what's going on. There's a mystery to solve! Beyond that, Fletcher and Stewart spend a lot of time focusing on her personal life too. Babs is a bridesmaid, and that's a lot of responsibility. She's got a great supporting cast, and the creative team uses them well. They're even part of the main story, with Qadir, Jeremy, Frankie and Alysia's fiancee all wrapped up in the tiger storyline. The team balances Babs' personal and superhero lives almost flawlessly.
Tiger?
I've said it plenty of times before, and I'll say it again: my personal mantra for writing superhero comics is "People first, superheroes second", and Batgirl is a near perfect example of that. This is a comic about Barbara Gordon, and her personal life is just as important as the latest superhero adventure. That said adventure involves mysterious tigers is icing on the cake, and a great example for how fun and creative this team can be. Mysterious tigers! Come on! That's just plain cool!
Cyborg #2
Writer: David F. Walker
Artist: Ivan Reis
We're back with the second issue of Cyborg, a worthwhile attempt to give this character his own ongoing series. DC has definitely stacked the deck in Cyborg's favor, with Ivan Reis doing an amazing job on art! But writer David F. Walker hasn't won me over yet, not completely.
The weird alien monsters from last issue are tracking Cyborg's new technology across dimensions, and he's having dreams about them. But he takes his mind off that by visiting with his father and friends, doing his best to try and study his new tech, while also being a makeshift role model to his fans. He's not doing so well on either front. One of his buddies then reveals to Vic that cybernetics have become pretty popular, and there are a bunch of back alley cybernetics labs in the city that give disabled people robot parts — and the weird alien monsters are using those people as a staging point for their invasion!
Comic Rating: 7/10 – Good.
Walker has more than a few good ideas stewing in this new Cyborg series. He's got a great handle on the main character. His Victor Stone is solid and cool, a stand-up guy who's just trying to deal, while still excited and giddy about his powers. He's definitely a fun guy and a strong hero, and more focus on Victor would be great for the series. Likewise, I love the idea of cybernetics being a big thing in the real world, including Congress weighing in on the issue. I think that'd be a great problem for Cyborg to tackle.
Cats make all comics better
But then there's this crazy inter-dimensional alien storyline that causes my brain to shut down. Cyborg #2 jumps around a lot, making the issue a little jarring. And every time they jump back to the aliens, or the heroes who are fighting the aliens, the issue loses me. Walker just doesn't do a good job of explaining what's happening, who anybody is, why they want Cyborg specifically, and what the danger is. Maybe Walker has everything figured out in his head, but he's not doing a very good job explaining this alien invasion thing on the page.
Grayson #11
Writers: Tom King and Tim Seeley
Artist: Mikel Janin
Big changes are soon in store for Grayson, and I like the sound of that. But first, we have a fun little issues with a focus on fighting and character exploration. Dick Grayson has his fill of the spy business when one baddie gets a little too deep into his head.
The evil spy who has been killing people on Dick Grayson's missions turns out to be an evil clone of Dick Grayson, who ambushes Agent 1 in the catacombs. But the real Dick Grayson shows up and battles his evil doppelganger, with as many taunts as blows to the head. But the evil Dick seems to know everything about him, and uses that knowledge to mess with his head, and it's enough to deliver the knockout blow. But Agent 1 wakes up and claws the hypnos implants out of his eyes, allowing him to see that the evil Dick Grayson is actually his former partner, Agent 8! But she's dead!
Dick and Agent 1 return to Helena to report what happened, and Agent 1 lies and says that it was Maxwell Lord who attacked them. Turns out, he's working with Agent 8, who is working with Agent Zero who is working with Doctor Netz. They all teamed up to drive Dick Grayson out of Spyral, and it worked. Dick tells Helena that he quits. He's going home!
I hope this definitely marks the end of the 'Dick Grayson is dead' storyline. I know that Grayson, the series, will continue. But there really hasn't been any good reason for him to keep pretending he's dead, especially to his loved ones. And now that Bruce Wayne is 'dead', Dick definitely needs to come back to the fold. Maybe this series will finally answer the burning question of why Dick Grayson doesn't take up the cowl once again. Will he be comfortable with Robo-Batman holding down the fort?
Either way, this was another solid issue. The creative team has such a solid grasp of their main character that every little scene is a new delight. We dig a little into Dick Grayson's psyche, while the rest of the cast set up some potentially great stories to come. And, as always, Janin just kills it on art. I imagine good things for him going forward.
Writers: Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti
Artist: Chad Hardin
Just like Batgirl, DC's other notable breakout hit continues to be just a fantastically enjoyable comic. The creative team is cooking with gas, throwing out jokes, gags, one-liners and actually effecting moments all at once. Heck, they even go for more than a few poop jokes with this one.
When Harley, Ivy, Tony and the egg dude figure out where Cap'N Strong is holding the Gang of Harleys, our hero loads herself into the scatapult and they launch her across Coney Island to the ship out at sea. She comes in kicking butt and smashing faces with her giant hammer, until Strong poops his pants from eating so much strange, alien seaweed. He runs downstairs while Harley unties her team. But he returns a short time later, covered in seaweed and seemingly stronger than ever!
Meanwhile, the mother and father of the quintuplets return home and realize that they'd accidentally left their girls alone all week. When they find out that the girls joined the Gang of Harleys, Mrs. DiAngelis storms the Harley HQ, confronts Tony and demands that she too get scatapulted to the ship so that she can save her daughters. Mrs. DiAngelis parachutes in, guns blazing, and takes out Cap'N Strong, then yells at her daughters and Harley! But then the girls — who are only 14! — explain that Harley has been taking care of them and putting them to good work, so all is forgiven and Harley is invited over for lasagna on Sunday.
Double meanwhile, Sal Borgman has found out who is selling hospital equipment on the sly, and he calls in Harley. It turns out that the nurse's daughter has been kidnapped by an evil cult in Hollywood, and she was trying to raise money to hire a bounty hunter. When Harley hears the price, she gladly takes the job!
Harley Quinn #19 is a great example of how to build a supporting cast. This issue has strong moments for Poison Ivy, Tony, and that egg guy, and also finds time to work in the Gang of Harleys. This cast came together organically, and their inclusion is all the stronger for it. But it's Harley Quinn herself who remains the standout character of the series, getting all the best jokes and action scenes. Her character, zany as she may be, is highly entertaining and strongly defined. She's just such a fun character in this series without going off the rails, and that's how you build a good comedy book.
Y'AAAAARRRGH!!
Harley Quinn is a great series and deserves all the praise and popularity. The creative team know exactly how to use their main character and their cast to turn zaniness into truly enjoyable storytelling.
JLA #3
Writer and Artist: Bryan Hitch
Bryan Hitch is back with the next chapter of his JLA epic. This one slows down a little bit, but the tension is building, and he's going to great lengths to find something for all of the Leaguers to do. This isn't just Superman or Batman's show.
The Kryptonian God Rao continues to help the people of Earth, including turning Africa into lush, farmable land and wiping out all of the corrupt regimes across the continent. When the UN gets a little worried about these moves, Rao tells them that they cannot stop his helpful efforts. This has Batman suspicious, and he tells Superman to get his head in the game.
Meanwhile, Green Lantern and the Flash have been teleported 250,000 years into the past on the planet Krypton. Flash gets teleported away again, but Green Lantern makes friends with the local Kryptonians. They recognize the GLC and offer to take him to their leader: the Great God Rao!
This was another solid issue of Hitch's comic. He slows down a little bit in this issue in order to give each of his characters something specific to do. This isn't just Superman's show, or Batman's. Wonder Woman is having trouble on Olympus, and the Flash and Green Lantern are into some trouble of their own. I'm glad to see him use all of the characters — though his breakout character, Aquaman, doesn't get an appearance this issue. Too bad. But the plot definitely thickens for GL and the Flash. And, of course, Hitch's art is beyond amazing in this issue. He draws a gorgeous waterfall in Africa that truly makes this next level quality comics.
Writers: Noelle Stevenson and Shannon Watters
Artist: Brooke Allen
Lumberjanes ends another excited adventure with this issue! I just recently picked up the first volume of Lumberjanes, and it's going to sit proudly in my collection! I can't wait to read it again someday.
While Abigail and Rosie take on the Grootslang (and fail miserably but epicly), the Lumberjanes head to Abigail's cabin to try and find out how to defeat the monster. Barney figures out that the creature loves diamonds, so the girls load up from Abigail's treasure room — only to find out that they probably should have done more than 10 minutes of research when confronting an ancient deity.
During the resulting scramble, Barney figures out that the Grootslang is looking for one specific gem: a big, red diamond that goes into his chest, and Jo has the gem. Jo must put aside her dislike of Barney to work together to save the day, convincing the Grootslang in trade to not kill all of humanity — this time.
With the day saved, everyone leaves the mountain to recuperate. Rosie invites Abigail to return to the Lumberjanes camp, but Abigail turns her down, choosing instead to return to her cabin. Not everything – including the Lumberjanes – are what they seem, she warns. Then as everyone's leaving, Jo accidentally butt-dials her dads and chats with them a little bit. Even though the girls have all been on weeks' worth of adventures at camp, the dads reveal that only half a week has passed for the rest of the world!
Yep, still fun! Still awesome! We got a pretty epic battle scene with Abigail and Rosie vs. the Grootslang, as well as some nice flashbacks to further establish and strengthen their relationship. Add in the typical whimsy of the Lumberjanes themselves and this is another great issue. The action is madcap and stylish, and the characters are just a lot of fun. Even the Grootslang is a pretty cool guy, staying somewhat down-to-Earth even as he threatens to wipe out all of humanity. The creative team is building a really personable, really fascinating world in Lumberjanes, and I'm on board for the long haul!
Ninjak #6
Writer: Matt Kindt
Artists: Raul Allen, Patricia Martin and Stephen Segovia
It's time for a new storyline in Kindt's Ninjak series, and after I was disappointed in the last one's finale, I'm still excited to see where he's going. Kindt definitely nixes some of his worst writing habits on this series. He's also got some new artists to help out, and they're both pretty good.
Ninjak's bosses at MI-6 want him to come home, but Ninjak is determined to use his new position as the CEO of Weaponeer to track down and destroy the remaining members of the Shadow Seven. He uses his connections, and some good old fashioned spy work, to track down the next member to a secluded residence in France. Ninjak sneaks in, marvels at the modern, technologically-advanced house, and gets into a scuffle with the resident, La Barbe. He's the guy that Roku went to see at the end of last issue, and is connected to the ancient monastery from Roku's origins.
In fact, it turns out that Ninjak is also connected to that monastery! In the back-up feature to his early days as a spy, we find out that Ninjak tracked his old handler's killer to the monastery, and he was chosen for training (which, in this case, meant getting beaten up).
I am very pleased with Kindt's writing in this issue, and he makes some noticeable improvements. One of the most annoying bits from the first few issues was that Kindt had a habit of describing through narration how each of Ninjak's gadgets worked and how he used them on his missions, as if we couldn't see it on the page. Well this time, while Ninjak is stealthing his way to the secluded mansion, Kindt holds back from narration and lets his artists draw all the sneakery and ninja moves. It's very much improved. Likewise, the fight with La Barbe is pretty cool, and not nearly as anti-climactic as his battle with Kannon last issue. And double likewise, the back-up feature finally reveals its ties to the main comic, which is also awesome. Ninjak is making some noticeable improvements in its second story arc, and I'm definitely still on board.
Spider-Woman #10
Writer: Dennis Hopeless
Artist: Natacha Bustos
Like falling dominos, the remaining Marvel Comics not disrupted by Secret Wars give in to that great crossover. Spider-Woman is next, but fortunately, Hopeless and guest artist Bustos have one last, quality issue to drop our way before the break.
While Spider-Woman battles the evil sheriff outside Boot Hill, Porcupine figures out that all of the citizens in the town are zombified thanks to tainted meat. So he rushes to the local meat-packing plant and confronts the CEO, who is using mind control technology to control the whole town. Porcupine kicks his butt in time to save Jess.
Later, while the team is celebrating in a nearby motel, Spider-Woman gets a visit from Black Widow to let her know that Secret Wars is coming. Spider-Woman doesn't want to go, but it's 'Every-Avenger-on-Deck!', so she quietly slips out before her friends notice she's gone.
I really liked Bustos' art in this issue. I love the regular artist, sure, but Bustos is a quality fill-in. Her art-style is fun, lively and energetic, perfect for the Spider-Woman comic. The story is also a lot of fun. I'm a sucker for street-level villains doing good, so watching the Porcupine make something of himself is a real blast. Spider-Woman herself is still cool — and has a great scene with Black Widow — but Porcupine steals the show in this final issue and saves the day in quality style. Spider-Woman has a fun energy, and I hope Hopeless can keep it up when we come back.
We Are Robin #3
Writer: Lee Bermejo
Artist: Jorge Corona
We Are Robin continues to be my favorite new series of DC's recent relaunch. I am normally a traditionalist when it comes to Robin, but in this altered landscape of Robo-Batmen, I really like the premise of this series.
Our main group of Robins split up to try and diffuse two different bombs in the subway tunnels, with instructions coming in from their mysterious leader in The Nest. Meanwhile, a second group of Robins gathers to take on the riot created by all the mind-controlled under-dwellers, and they come face-to-face with Robo-Batman. For some reason, they believe him to be the same Batman of old and are confused when he tells them to disperse.
Down in the subway, one group of Robins successfully defuse their bomb. But the second group is having trouble, since the bomb is on the tracks, and they have to keep stopping when trains come through. Eventually, The Nest tells them to get out of there and sends them a train — but one of the Robins, Troy, stays behind because he's confident he can disarm the bomb. But he sets it off instead, killing him and blowing up the building.
In the end, The Nest is revealed to be Alfred!
While the reveal that Alfred has been in charge of these Robins is pretty cool, and gives them some much needed legitimacy, I don't think it really works. In the Bat-verse these days, Alfred has what he's always wanted: a happy and satisfied Bruce Wayne. Bruce is living a nice life with a nice girlfriend, the horrors of Batman behind him. So why is Alfred reacting to this by recruiting a bunch of untrained, undisciplined youths to go play Robin? It's not like Gotham is unprotected. Along with Robo-Batman, there's still Batgirl, Batwoman, Catwoman, Batwing and a ton of other vigilantes watching over the city.
And Alfred clearly now has blood on his hands. Yes, he ordered the Robins to get out of there and provided them transport, and Troy made his own decision to stay, but Troy is only in that situation because Alfred recruited him (did Alfred recruit all of them? One would assume so). And Troy decides to stay and defuse the bomb because of the heroism instilled in him by being a Robin.
Batman will never even know you existed
At the very least, why isn't Alfred training these kids? He has the skills, he has the capital, he has the time and the facilities. Why does his recruitment process just involve slapping some Robin-colored clothing on a bunch of kids and sending them out to fight riots and disarm bombs?
All of this would make a lot more sense if the Robins didn't have a benefactor. If they really were just some street toughs who decided to take it upon themselves to create this 'Robins' gang, then all of this would make more sense. But as it's presented in this issue, Alfred is making some pretty big mistakes.
Still, this was a quality issue. The action and tension are great, the characters are getting some real depth and uniqueness, and we got to see the first meeting between Robo-Batman and the Robins. That's got to count for something. Bermejo is building a solid concept and making it work, and I can't wait to see him really sink his teeth into all these Robins.
Oh, also, if any of you reading this are artists, I'm dying for picture of Robo-Batman and the Robins that mimics that classic Batman and Robin shot from The Dark Knight Returns. You know which one I'm talking about. If anybody sees a picture like that on the Internet, let me know immediately, please!
The comics I review in my Hench-Sized reviews are just the usual comics I pick up from my local shop any given week, along with a few impulse buys I might try on a whim. So if there are any comics or series you'd like me to review each week, let me know in the comments!

Ant-Man was really fun. I liked the idea of the Golden Age superheroes getting one last hurrah. And Scott hooking up with Beetle was funny.
Spider-Woman was really fun, but with a tragic ending. Poor Jessica. And poor Jessica's friends – she doesn't even say goodbye. Still, Hulk cows. Hulk. Cows.
And you really should've picked up Hank Johnson: Agent of Hydra. It's great. A perfect blend of mundane and absurd.
Sean Ian Mills | August 31, 2015 at 6:07 am
I picked up a copy of Hank Johnson, but I haven't gotten to it yet, but only because this week was an insane pile of comics! But I definitely have it, and I'm glad to hear it's good. Maybe this new week will be slow and lame and I'll slip in a review.

Maryland Plays Catch Up on PFAS
Pat Elder: Sixteen military installations in Maryland are believed to have used the "forever chemicals" while several bases have contaminated the state's aquifers and surface waters with massive amounts of the deadly substances.
Pat Elder
While most of the states have taken steps toward regulating drinking water for PFAS, Maryland has not acted until now. The Maryland Department of the Environment, (MDE) has been asleep at the switch under Secretary Ben Grumbles.
Sixteen military installations in Maryland are believed to have used the "forever chemicals" while several bases have contaminated the state's aquifers and surface waters with massive amounts of the deadly substances. For instance, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory at Chesapeake Beach has contaminated local groundwater with PFAS chemicals at a staggering level of 241,000 parts per trillion. It's front page news, although it doesn't make it in the paper.
PFAS chemicals are linked to several types of cancer and cause abnormalities in the developing fetus. They poison our bodies, flood our waters, and contaminate our soils. Blame the Department of Defense and the EPA first. Then blame Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and Secretary Grumbles for not taking steps earlier to protect Marylanders from the scourge of PFAS.
Now, the eyes of the state are on the MDE to do the right thing by testing the water we drink and the food we eat and establishing stringent maximum contaminant levels (MCL's) to protect human health.
It's instructive to examine U.S. state policies for PFAS in Drinking Water published by the American Water Works Association. 27 states have either proposed or enacted drinking water standards for PFAS contamination. Maryland is not one of them.
Grumbles was nominated by Governor Hogan and confirmed by the Maryland Senate in 2015. He served previously as President of the U.S. Water Alliance, a pro-industry lobby group, and held the position of Assistant Administrator for Water at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Examine Grumbles' record in Maryland on natural gas, the market's role in burning coal, and greenhouse gases. It's important to understand this record as we prepare to apply pressure on Grumbles and this administration on PFAS.
Think Progress on Secretary Ben Grumbles:
"Grumbles was heavily involved with fracking while serving as an EPA administrator under Bush, most notably overseeing the release of a 2004 report that determined the controversial process was safe for drinking water. That report was eventually used by the Bush administration to pass a law that prohibited the EPA from regulating fracking under the Safe Drinking Water Act."
Grumbles says natural gas in Maryland is "a bridge fuel to a clean-energy future," reflecting a pro-fossil fuel stance.
Grumbles insists Maryland must rely on "market-based" solutions to "phase out" the six coal-fired plants we still have. Here's an exchange during a hearing in February on Hogan's Clean and Renewable Energy Standard legislation fromMaryland Matters:
"Ben Grumbles, Maryland's Secretary of the Environment, frequently asserted that the bill is a "market-based, balanced approach" to developing and utilizing clean energy. But most of the testimony came from critics.
Environmentalists and some lawmakers don't like the bill because it still envisions an energy portfolio that relies on fossil fuels for several years. "There's no mention of a plan to ultimately phase out coal-fired power plants in the state, of which we still have six," said Sen. Brian J. Feldman (D-Montgomery), the committee vice chairman and chief Senate sponsor of last year's energy legislation. Grumbles replied that "the marketplace is absolutely going to move to the phase-out of those coal plants."
Greenhouse gases - Read this exchange between progressive Senator Paul Pinsky and Secretary Grumbles over greenhouse gas emissions in January of 2020. Pinsky said Grumbles' plan to cut Maryland greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 is "truly vague,"
From Greenwire January 17, 2020 (edited for brevity)State Sen. Paul Pinsky (D), who chairs the Senate's Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee, said he was not confident the plan, "with all its vagaries and lack of quantifiable reductions," would reach the target set into law by the General Assembly.
"I don't have the confidence from reading this or some of your answers on the components that I'm going to sleep better tonight knowing that we're on a trajectory to actually do this," Pinsky told Grumbles.But Grumbles took issue with Pinsky's criticism. "I would respectfully say that I don't agree with your characterization in any way, shape or form," Grumbles said.Pinsky, a Prince George's County Democrat, said he expected to see strategies in the draft with quantifiable reductions in the state's greenhouse gas emissions, so lawmakers would be able to see how the state is progressing over the next decade. Instead, he spotted projections he found hard to believe.For example, Pinsky said the plan projects that the state will have 600,000 electric vehicles on the road by 2030. Now, he said, Maryland has only about 20,000. He asked Grumbles if he still maintained the state would reach that goal. "My understanding is that this plan, with the bold provisions in it, can get us to over 40% — even if we fall short on one or two specific areas, but we're hoping that we're not," Grumbles said. "It's too early to give up."Pinsky also took issue with the draft plan for attributing further greenhouse gas reduction to a proposal to add lanes on the Beltway near the nation's capital and Interstate 270. Grumbles said the greenhouse gas reductions would come from less idling of vehicles in traffic jams."
Lack of Attention to PFAS
OK. Great. We know what we're dealing with.
It's not surprising that the state is bowing to its military and corporate underwriters regarding its response to PFAS contamination. Maryland is following the script from other states that have refused to take measures to protect the health of its citizens from PFAS chemicals. Getting tough with polluters may entail liability in Maryland that exceeds $1 Billion.
Sound like a stretch? Consider Orange County in California.
Maryland is 13 times larger than Orange County, and has twice its population, and many more military installations known to have dumped the toxins, especially along the shores of the Chesapeake. California recently enacted a measure that requires water utilities to shut down or provide expensive water treatment measures if water exceeds 40 ppt for PFOS and 10 ppt for PFOA. By conservative estimates, the water service providers are faced with a $1 billion clean-up bill. 71 of the 195 wells in Orange County's primary groundwater basin will likely be forced to close by the end of this year. The water utilities are contemplating a massive lawsuit against the manufacturers of PFAS, while not prosecuting the DOD.
The military and the chemical industry are dictating environmental policy in Maryland. It becomes a little more clear from reading the report by the Bay Journal on the high levels of PFAS found in St. Inigoes Creek:"Ira May, who oversees federal site cleanups for the MDE, suggested that contamination in the creek, if it exists, could have another source. The chemicals are often found in landfills, he noted, as well as in biosolids and at sites where civilian fire departments sprayed foam.
"So, there are multiple potential sources," May said. "We're just at the beginning of looking at all of those."

"It is a priority for us," said MDE Secretary Ben Grumbles. He noted that he had formed an internal agencywide task force to deal with PFAS, which are among the most widely used and persistent chemicals in the world. They have increasingly turned up as a contaminant practically everywhere — in air, water, soil, food and even people's bodies."
Maryland's top official charged with overseeing federal contamination cleanups seems intent on diverting the public's attention from the Navy base as the source of the contamination in St. Inigoes Creek - and he seems to be borrowing time for a long, complex process - engineered to cause the public to forget all about it. It aint gonna happen.
PFOS-laden foam was regularly discharged at Webster Field Annex of the Patuxent River NAS, approximately 2,400 feet from the test site where the PFAS was found in the creek. It is unlikely the contamination originated from the closest fire station, located five miles away in Valley Lee, or from the St. Andrews Landfill, 11 miles away.
We don't have time for May's obfuscation. Public health is in the balance. Grumbles' comments above follow the same script being played out by environmental officials in many states. It sure sounds like they're on it!
The State of Maryland has lagged far behind many states in taking measures to protect the public from PFAS contamination in the environment. Vermont, for instance, has tested water systems throughout the state and established an MCL for five PFAS in drinking water: PFOA, PFOS PFHxS, PFHpA, and PFNA. The sum of these five PFAS cannot exceed 20 ppt. New Jersey, New Hampshire, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, and others have conducted sampling and made the results public. Maryland has a lot of catching up to do.
This is what doing nothing looks like.
A letter sent by MDE to water systems throughout the state in December, 2019 reflects the agency's inaction on PFAS.
>Maryland's MDE:"Highlighting the attention that PFAS commands, EPA made a commitment in its Action Plan to make a regulatory determination on whether or not to establish a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for PFOA and PFOS.However, a few states that have experienced significant PFAS detections in water supplies such as New Jersey and New Hampshire have established MCLs for PFAS, and other states like Pennsylvania, have initiated their own process for establishing an MCL. The work being done in these states is on a fast-track and could benefit Maryland by leveraging their administrative and scientific work on this topic."The letter continues:
EPA's Action Plan is taking a pro-active, cross-agency approach to address the PFAS contamination problem."
Reality check: 27 states have either proposed or enacted drinking water standards for PFAS contamination. Maryland is not one of them. What is the state waiting for? (Sure, the General Assembly passed a measure banning the use of PFAS during fire training exercises at municipal fire stations, but what they should have done is ban the use of PFAS in the foams, period. There are excellent, environmentally-friendly fire-fighting foams on the market that don't contain PFAS.)
This memo from the MDE praises the EPA for doing nothing! The EPA's Action Plan fails to regulate PFAS. Regulating the stuff would mandate that it is cleaned up and the water is made pure. This would be done by subjecting PFAS to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, (CERCLA), also known as Superfund. That's not going to happen anytime soon because it would mean the Pentagon would be stuck with a multi-billion-dollar bill for cleanup in Maryland, across the country, and around the world.
Maryland has a massive PFAS problem from military-caused contamination throughout the state. Grumbles knows the feds aren't in a regulating mood and he isn't either. The letter cites significant PFAS detections in water supplies in New Jersey and New Hampshire because those states have implemented testing regimes while Maryland has not! It's like testing for COVID-19. The problem appears to be non-existent if jurisdictions don't test.
Hopefully, this is changing now, although we must be vigilant.
The letter from the MDE lists 8 military bases that have contaminated the environment with PFAS as a result of reckless fire-fighting exercises using toxic foams laced with PFAS:
Two military facilities in the Annapolis Area
Fort Meade Army Base
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory at Chesapeake Beach
The former U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center at White Oak
Naval Air Station Patuxent River
Andrews Air Force Base
Former Brandywine Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office
There are another 8 basesthat are believed to have used PFAS that the MDE omitted in its letter:
Bainbridge Naval Training Center
Bethesda Naval Support Activity
Indian Head Naval Surface Warfare Center
Solomons Island Navy Recreation Center
Webster Field Annex of the Patuxent River NAS
Air Force ANG - Martin State
Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock
Maryland officials say they plan to target areas around firefighter training sites, the site of aviation-related fires, and current and past military installation sites. It sounds good, but we must demand the state tests drinking water, groundwater, surface water, sewage sludge, sediment, and soils at the 16 military installations.
The Baltimore Sun recently reported MDE is developing plans for PFAS testing which includes collecting "hundreds of samples" from drinking water sources around the state. MDE has also indicated it may re-sample some of the 40 of the largest water systems in Maryland that were initially tested by the EPA during the period of 2012-2015. Testing technology has vastly improved since 2015.
Already, the MDE is off to a poor start. Maryland has 3,653 public water systems and they all need to be tested for PFAS, not just a few hundred. Private wells, especially near military sites - like the homes with wells on Karen Drive in Chesapeake Beach, just a few thousand feet from the burn pit at the Chesapeake Beach Navy Lab - all must be tested. Some states, like New Hampshire have been testing private wells near known releases of PFAS.
Baltimore City has 410,000 water customers, but the City Department of Public Works doesn't test for PFAS. A spokeswoman for the agency said, "Once standards for PFAS are set, we will test for them." Wake up, Maryland, and smell the PFAS in your coffee - just don't drink it until you know it's free of PFAS.

In this episode of "Facts, Values, and Flourishing," we'll look at the nature of virtue in the context of a rational, life-based morality: virtue as the art of human flourishing.
We'll consider the relationship of virtue and value. We'll see how the two manifest in the proverb "God said, 'Take what you want, and pay for it.'" And we'll discuss a few of the basic virtues of Ayn Rand's rational egoism, including the principles involved and the actions that these principles call for.
I hope you'll join me for this episode, which airs on Thursday, September 20, at 9 PM Eastern Time.
And be sure to let your friends know about the series. Earlier episodes can be seen on Facebook and YouTube.

Commercial Performance Coatings adds Hawkei to growing portfolio
PPG's Clayton, Victoria, production plant recently welcomed a special visit from 'Hawkei'. Not to be confused with the 'Hawkeye' Pierce character from the seventies TV show, MASH, this rugged 4X4 vehicle is actually the next generation 'light protected vehicle' for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). Named after a species of death adder (Acanthophis hawkei) found in Queensland, it is designed and built in Australia by Thales (a global leader for aerospace, transport, defence and security markets) at the company's manufacturing facility in Bendigo, Victoria. Replacing the ADF's aging Land Rover vehicles, Hawkei is aimed at filling roles, such as troop movement, command and control, electronic warfare, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Already a key supplier partner on the previous Bushmaster vehicle project, PPG's Commercial Performance Coatings team has worked closely with Thales since the inception of the Hawkei project in 2009. This has seen PPG appointed to supply all the coatings (including an APAS approved primer and range of camouflage colours) designed to not only protect the vehicle's structure but also make it more difficult to detect in a conflict situation.
All these products from the Commercial Performance Coatings portfolio are manufactured at PPG Clayton so the recent visit was to thank PPG production staff for their efforts. Thales staff made a series of presentations about the Hawkei project and, throughout the day, PPG staff had the opportunity to take a close look at the results of their products in action, says Chris Davis, Business Director Commercial Performance Coatings.
"We are proud to say that 100 percent of these Commercial Performance Coatings products are manufactured in Australia so, like Thales, PPG is making a commitment to local technology, manufacturing and employment. The Hawkei project has really showcased the exceptional capabilities of the local Commercial Performance Coatings team and the dedicated production staff at the Clayton facility. Indeed, it is the remarkable level of commitment with which our team supports all our customers, large and small, that is helping to develop the Commercial Performance Coatings brand across Australia and New Zealand." - Chris Davis
Ultimately, the Hawkei project will see the delivery of 1,100 vehicles and over 1,000 trailers which are set to be manufactured over a 3.5-year production phase.

helping out a friend to find out about starting lawyer salary nowadays, and what sort of progression she can expect once she gets in.
Top lawyers earn more than top doctors, because law is about how much business you can bring in. For the average professional I'm not sure but my gut feel is that doctors earn a bit more, but anyway one must consider that it takes more years of study both undergrad and specialist training to move up as a doctor, lawyers start earlier and at higher pay (currently 5k or so at big firms, more at foreign firms), and no need to study further.


In Wisconsin, Alicia Beltran, 14 weeks pregnant, went for a prenatal check up to make sure that everything was going to be well. She explained to the PA in her doctor's office her concerns. One was a pill addiction that she had actually ended a year earlier. Instead of addressing her concerns, her doctor's office betrayed her trust and the celebrated code of confidentiality between patients and doctors, supposedly the basis of medical practice. They called the police. Two days later, the police came to Beltran's home and shackled her. She was rushed to court handcuffed and shackled, where she was denied access to a counsel but where a lawyer was already assigned to represent her fetus. Then, she was ordered into a drug treatment program although there was no trace of drug in her body, although she was taking care of herself, although she had trusted her doctor and society to respect her as a person. For Beltran, the consequences of this abusive treatment are dire. They include losing her job. In fact, the state has endangered her health, the health of her fetus, her social status and the well being of her family, current and future.
Wisconsin is one of 38 states, including Maryland, that has passed so-called feticide laws. Three states – Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota – have passed "cocaine mom" laws, and that's what happened to Alicia Beltran. Finally, the first federal lawsuit to challenge these laws has been filed by The National Advocates For Pregnant Women, the Reproductive Justice Clinic of New York University School of Law, and Linda S. Vanden Heuvel, Alicia Beltran's lawyer. This threat to pregnant women has been on the rise as more women are thrown behind bars.
The lawsuit is the first to challenge these laws that are threatening women for being less than the fetus they carry, especially when they are women of color and/or poor, in brief socially vulnerable.
Last year, a bill was introduced in committee in the Maryland legislature. If passed, the bill would have put into law a ban on shackling pregnant inmates. Surprisingly, or not, the bill was defeated.
These practices of shackling pregnant women serve two purposes. They render women as less than human and they "de-womanize" society. Last year, Maryland repealed the death penalty. It is time for Maryland, and all states, to show real commitment to women's rights and women's equality.
Hopefully, Alicia Beltran's case will set a precedent. Whatever comes out of the suit, we should not forget that feticide laws were presented to protect pregnant women. In reality, by creating the fetus as a full person separated from the woman's body, feticide laws have one purpose: to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, Roe v Wade and its guarantees of women's right to decide for themselves. External control of a woman's body is an assault on the dream and the possibilities of a society with more equality, better distribution of wealth, and richer harmony. We need to support all and any efforts to "de-shackle" women.
When I first read this, I felt that this was justified. I was outraged by the suffering those women had to go through, and I was relieved that there was a way to punish him by taking his life as he had denied them of their own lives for so long. But then I realized my initial reaction went against everything I believed in, and I was appalled. I have always been adamantly against the death penalty. How can we strive for a just and humane society if our response is to kill criminals? And the argument the prosecutor is using to have him face the death penalty is that he "committed aggravated murder" of unborn fetuses. Looking back, I think that what caused my initial reaction was fear. Fear that this kind of atrocity can happen. Just knowing that these women had been sequestered and tortured, I felt that this could have been me; it was a direct attack on my person as a woman. And I wanted them to take his life away. I was suddenly going to trust the American justice system to decide who can live and who must die. After all, doesn't he incarnate evil for beating up his daughters' mother and for abusing women?
What I should be afraid of is the precedent the prosecutor will set if Ariel Castro gets the death penalty. Pregnant women are already being imprisoned throughout the country for `endangering the lives' of their fetuses. If the precedent is set, will women be in danger of facing the death penalty for having an abortion or a miscarriage?
At the same time, Ariel Castro getting the death penalty sees the abuse of the three women through only one lens, that of their fecundity and womanhood. Why is it that the daily suffering, threats, violence, rapes, trauma, and inhumanity those women were subjected to are not seen as being more important than those unborn fetuses? The violence and abuse they went through is normalized, the press is shocked but not outraged. Instead, the biggest crime was to prevent the birth of those children.
Our understanding of this unfathomable tragedy is constructed around this country's politics on women's reproductive rights and the personhood debate instead of seeing it as another example of dehumanized violence. Why can't we give these women more respect by focusing on their survival? Instead of focusing on their bodies as reproductive vehicles, why can't we focus on them as women whose spirits enabled them to live and survive?
We need to be more careful and not let our emotions control the way we understand the media construction around such events, no matter how nightmarish they might be. As women, we are vulnerable to neoliberal policies, such as feticide laws, that aim to control our bodies. As citizens, we should question a society that still resorts to the death penalty. For the past week, the phrases fetal homicide and death penalty have been covering up the news nationally and worldwide and they are part of the neoliberal agenda to instill fear in all of us and to reiterate our vulnerability in the face of evil, embodied by Ariel Castro this week. But we need to remember that, just like all of us, Ariel Castro is a member of this society. He does not incarnate evil; he embodies the violence and misogyny of our society.

What Is Simvastatin and How Does It Work?
What Are Side Effects Associated with Using Simvastatin?
What Other Drugs Interact with Simvastatin?
What Are Warnings and Precautions for Simvastatin?
Simvastatin (Zocor) is a, FDA approved prescription medication that is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "statins." Statins are medications that work by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. This drug maybe used to treat other diseases and conditions. Your doctor may conduct liver function tests when using statins to monitor liver enzymes and other liver function.
In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help simvastatin medication work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Consult your doctor for more details.
This medication is available under the following different brand names: Zocor.
This drug has severe interactions with at least 32 different drugs.
This drug has serious interactions with at least 79 different drugs.
This drug has moderate interactions with at least 79 different drugs.
This medication contains simvastatin. Do not take Zocor if you are allergic to simvastatin or any ingredients contained in this drug.
There are no known effects of drug abuse.
See "What Are Side Effects Associated with Using Simvastatin?"
Increased blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels reported with statin intake.
Heavy alcohol use, history of liver disease, renal failure.
Monitor LFTs before initiating treatment and thereafter when clinically indicated; reports of fatal and nonfatal hepatic failure in people taking statins .
Discontinue if markedly elevated CPK levels occur or myopathy is diagnosed or suspected.
Increases in HbA1c and fasting serum glucose levels reported with simvastatin.
Severe electrolyte, endocrine, or metabolic disorders.
Grapefruit juice increases simvastatin systemic exposure; avoid large quantities of grapefruit juice (i.e., 1 quart/day or more).
Do not use this drug in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.
Simvastatin is contraindicated while breastfeeding; it is potentially unsafe.
