Soma is commonly used as a muscle relaxer. It works by blocking pain receptors and closing the gate where pain stimuli enter within the nervous system. People who have been in car wrecks or in other accidents often use this medication to relieve pain. The downside is that Soma is habit forming and should only be used if you meet the conditions required. It is possibly dangerous to take Soma if you have a seizure problem, liver disease, or kidney disease. Taking it in too large of a dose will cause severe bodily problems, which may include death.

Network access in the basement of the Morse Institute Library in Natick was very spotty, so the "live-blogging" took place offline, and was posted afterwards.

Apologies to anybody whose names I missed / mangled.

7:15 Lt Gov Murray has arrived, and the moderator Tim Dooley is introducing the forum and guidelines. Quick run-down of recent events, including transportation commission report, mileage tax, gas tax increase.

7:20 Murray thanks Natick Democrats, talks briefly about experience in government in last 10 years.

7:22 Biggest surprise in last nine months on the job? Amount of deferred maintenance and work -- $15-19B. We need to come up with creative solutions to address this shortfall.

Reconsidering sex offenses

Two interesting articles in the MetroWest Daily News yesterday on the nature of sex offenses and how we as a society handle them.

The second article, in particular, is enlightening, listing a number of clearly ridiculous results of various laws around the country. For example, in Oklahoma, a woman who flashed an undercover detective got registered as a sex criminal and now has to live in a homeless shelter because she is not allowed to live within 2000 feet of a school, daycare center, park or playground. She did not want to live in one of the handful of motels outside those ranges because those motels are full of sex criminals. So now she and her daughter are in a homeless shelter.

Paper or Plastic?

Submitted by dcsohl on April 27, 2007 - 8:07am.

The MetroWest Daily News leads off on their front page today with a story on the age old question of paper or plastic? Unsurprisingly, feelings are mixed.

Plastic is far cheaper, which is why often the store will start bagging with plastic unless you tell them otherwise. I'm hardly even asked anymore; I have to stop the cashier and say, "Paper, please."

Paper, on the other hand, is bio-degradable. Plastic takes centuries to break down, but paper is gone much more quickly. Both are recyclable, of course, but not every bag makes it to the recycling bin, so the long-term effects should be considered.

Why do I go for paper?

Pike tolls

Submitted by dcsohl on February 26, 2007 - 11:02pm.

In the waning days of the Romney administration, it was suggested -- as a campaign stunt for Healey, no doubt -- that Pike tollbooths be eliminated. And yet, the idea is not without merit for those of us in MetroWest.

The original plan behind the Mass Pike was for it to pay for itself. Construction of the Pike was funded by the sale of bonds, and the tolls were intended to repay and buy back those bonds. This happened a long time ago for the portion of the Pike west of 128. The section inside of 128 is newer, and compounded by the fact that the Turnpike Authority is responsible for the Big Dig, so the situation there is muddied.

Ignoring the eastern part of the Pike, a look at the rest of the Pike reveals a road that collects $114 million in revenue each year, and spends $8 million on policing it, $43 million on collecting the tolls, and $63 million actually maintaining the road. Yes, more than one third of the money collected goes towards that same collection effort.

All the other highways in the state under the aegis of MassHighway have their maintenance paid for by the state gas tax, currently 21 cents/gallon. Folks who drive on the Pike get hit with a double whammy -- the gas they use on the pike is taxed, and their drive also gets hit with the tolls.
