We went to the family doctor who ·referred her to a foot specialist. That doctor says she needs to let him cut off part of that toe, because she has gout. I've never heard of anybody that had to lose part of a limb because of gout. Can't she just be treated for gout instead of losing part of her toe? Answer: As you may recall from a column l wrote about one year ago, gout is a type of arthritis. In those with tliis disorder, uric acid accumulates in the JOints and surrounding tissue and causes damage. Uric acid is a natural by-product of o.u r body's metabolism of meats, red wines and other foqds , In ~ddition to that man\lfactured by our bodies, we directly ingest uric acid by eating foods that already contain it. Normally, the kidneys eliminate uric acid before the level within the blood becomes high enough to 'cause a problem. In gout, however, the level increases to the point where uric acid · crystals begin to accumulate in tissues including joirit fluid. As uric acid crystals accumulate in a joint, these crystals begin to .irritate the joint tissue.

The Institute for Supply Management reported last week that j11 index .o f business activity edged higher· in January. , The government reported last week that durablegoods orde.rs to factories rose by a bigger-thanexpected 2 percent in December. "While I would not bet the house on a manufacturing recovery in the first quarter, the odds are clearly moving in that direction," said David Huether, chief economist for the National · Association of Manufacturers. "Since we are in an investment-led recession the outlook for durable goods is a reliable indicator of the path of recovery." Before manufacturing cah fully recover, though, businesses will have to crank up investment again and foreign companies and consumers must incre;~se their spending on American-made goods, which would boost U.S. export~. economists said.

NATIONAL VIEW • LogJam • The Santa Fe New Mexican: 011 judicial appointment logjam: Sept. 11 inay be a valid excuse for many failings in the months following the attack on America - but as an all-purpose cop-out for routine failure and bad behavior, it's wearing a bit thin. Consider the judicial-appointments logjam in the U.S. Senate. Whenever the upper house of Congress is controlled by the . party opposing that of the pre<idency, White House appointees to the federal bench go unconfirmed for months, even years. Rarely is there good reason for such delays; almost invariably, it's a matter of mere spitefulness .... As part of his state-of-the-judiciary report to Congress at the beginning {)[ this year, Rehnquist urged the Senate to take overdue action oti several judicial appointments. Approve them or reject them, said our nation's number-one· judge - but make your decision·. We'd love to, replied Vermont's Sen. Pat Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary Committee - but that darn Osama bin Laden. ... Well, the senator didn't go that far - but he did blame the delays on the "tumultuous year for the nation and also for the Senate"- which is the same nonsensical thing. He's been sitting on three dozen judgeships - a good 30 of which haven't even b~en given hearing appointments. Many go back to the early weeks of the Bush presidency, when America was at peace. Rehnquist responded with rh etoric of similar silliness: The · federal courts, he noted, "have functioned through wars, natural disasters and terrorist attacks"- and if they're to keep doing so, "judicial vacancies must be timely filled with well-qualified candidates." ... Terrorism isn't the issue; partisan pettiness is. The Democrats would be doing themselves, and our nation, a favor by overcoming it. 'T ODAY IN HISTORY .

How will they explain away yet two more scientific studies · that clearly contradict the global warming orthodoxy? For much of the past 14 years, since the United Nations created its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we've been warned that human activity is overheating the planet. And nowhere is that supposed to be more evident than in Antarctica, the proverbial bellwether for planetary climate change. indeed, in recent years there have been many scary reports claiming that the White Continent is warming up and shedding its ice shelves at a startling rate. Which has led to the most ominous .forecasts by environmental advocacy groups, such as the National Resources Defense Council. "Glaciers and polar ice packs will melt," it predicts direly in its global warming "fact sheet." "Sea levels will rise, flooding coastal areas. Heat waves will be more frequent and more' intense. Droughts and wildfires will occur more often. And many species will be pushed to extinction." So how do the climatory Cassandras on the environmental left explain the new study, appearing in the current ·edition of the journal Nature, that shows a net cooling, rather than warming, on the Antarctic continent between 1966 ana 2000? What is particularly amazing is that the cooling trend has actually gotten more pronounced since the mid-1980s. Air temperatures recorded· over a 14, year period ending in 1999 deClined by 0. 7 degrees in Antarctica's polar desert valleys. . The study's lead author, limnologist Peter T. Doran of the University of llli- Joseph PerKins 0 COLUMNIST ing - like Doran and Joughin - feel c'ompelled to disavow their findings. Or : at least to suggesr thai their results are _ aberrational. . . Indeed, a few years back, the Climate · Prediction Center, a division of the · National· Oceanic and 'Atmospheric Administration, released a study that foun<;l the continental United Stines has actually gotten cooler, rather than warmer, over the past third of a century. Yet, the scientists who produced the center's study went to great "lengths to assure that their findings did not under- . mine prevailing notions about global warming. Then there was the study by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography · in La Jolla, Calif. They took Antarctic ice · core samples from the last three glacial cycles (the transitional periods between _ ice age and planetary warming) to ascer- · tain the relation between rises in armospheric levels of carbon dioxide and increases in planetary·temperature.

So far, well over • dozen have chosen healing. One chose marriage. Matt Birk's wedding is set for Friday, and rbe Minnesota Vikings center decided that would take precedence over playing in Saturday's game. His roster spot was turn ed over to Jeremy Newberry of the San Francisco 49ers. Birk had perhaps the most unique and best excuse for missing the game. Other more traditional alibis came straight from clubs' training rooms. A banged-up knee kept Kansas City 'tight end Tony Gonzalez home. Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre sent his regrets because of a combination of stomach and back aches. Any resemblan ce between the AFC and NFC rosters at game time on Saturday and the ones assembled last monrb is purely coincidental. In the aftermath of their Super Bowl loss to New England, two St. Louis Rams players pulled out of the game Tuesday. Wide receiver Isaac Bruce and tackle Orlando Pace are staying home. Originally, Joe Horn of New Orleans was named to replace Bruce, but he was also unable to play and the spot went to Torry Holt of St. Louis. Tra Thomas of Philadelphia takes Pace's place.

The board is expected to place · a rcplacc·ment one-mill levy on the May 'ballot, accordin g to Meigs County' Health Commissioner Norma Tofres. The law requires that townships · and villages pay the expenses of operating the health department from the rev ~ t:::nue they receive from inside millage. Because voters have approved a tax levy for the department continuously since 1')82, those funds have been freed up for townships and vi ll ages to use. Opponents of the board's Clean Indoor Air Act, which was approved last year aod outlaws smoking in all public places and outdoo" within five feet of the entrance to a public place, haw pledged to vote against - and campaign against - th~ department's levy. If their efforts succeed, s~mc township~ will l~ave no money for opt·~ations after paying their share of the health ·departmentUs budget, accord in g to Treasurer Howard Frank. In Columbia Township, for instance, the inside millage on real estate tax collections totals $18,000, while their share of timding for the health departmentUs operations is $16,379. According to Nancy Parker Campbell , the following are the township and vi llage obligations to the department, totaling 233,000: l:ledford Meigs Local, S 10,393; llcdford Eastern Local, 79; Chester Eastern Local, 19,177; C hester Meigs Local, 2,828; Columbia, 16,379: Lebanon Emern Local, 1,03\1; L~banon Southern Local, 8,3117; Letart, 34, I 89; Olive, 14,202; Orange, 8,713; J~utland , 13,742; Rutland Village, 2,625; Salem, 17,465; Salisbury, 16,3J7; Middleport Village, 16,98 1; Pomeroy Village, I il,360: Scipio, 7,703j Sutton, I 3,371; Racine Village, 4,7H6; and Syracuse Village, 6,.124.
