His blood alcohol level was 0.051 and not 0.51 according to court papers filed the other day. Still considered a DUI though since he is underage.

Good post. To piggy back off this, the law says that prescribers are supposed to run a KASPER on every patient before writing for a control and most do abide by this practice but plenty do not. On the pharmacy side, we are not legally required to run one but most do if they suspect something or if they are a completely and unknown patient. Kroger has their own report that pulls from KASPER and other states they operate in which saves us time to look at the info. Depending on the dose or other meds they are on, Kroger requires it’s pharmacist to look at the report before processing the script. However each state operates their own KASPER-like controlled medication reports and the downfall of many of these is that they don’t communicate with one another which could be a potential abuse point for areas on state borders as they could fill the same script on both sides at different pharmacies and pharmacy’s wouldn’t know. That being said, there are red flags we may identify like patient requesting to pay cash, etc that may catch our attention and we may deny their fill.

I can’t speak for Walgreens but at Kroger the pharmacy gets an email from Kroger when they are approaching their set limits on a range of opioid medications. The limit in question isn’t an actual limit but one set internally by Kroger for the store based on their prescription volume and what they reasonably think they can fill. The limit set is for the month and the pharmacy in question gets an email saying they are approaching it. No Kroger pharmacy I know of has ever went over their limit but I’ve been told if you do it gets messy as you have a bunch of paperwork, legal stuff, and reporting to the DEA among other things. My pharmacy has gotten maybe 2 or 3 emails in the 3 years I’ve worked there that we are approaching the limit. The whole purpose of the internal limit is to protecting the pharmacy and the wholesaler so we aren’t accused of this exact thing that Walgreens is accused of. I have no idea if Walgreens has any internal checks in place that would have prevented this sort of thing or if the prosecutor is just fishing.

I just don’t see this happening as if something of its like does get passed I think it will get challenged in the courts and thrown out.

If we judged all coaches by people like Tony Bennett every coach in the country would be considered angry and bitter old men. Bennett is the exception, not the rule.

Give him some slack as he is human. Many people in his shoes would be extremely emotional after a game like that. I’m sure you have overreacted in situations where you wish you could have it back. If he was asked this question tomorrow instead of minutes after the game I’m sure he would have been able to give a calm and more collective response. He is human like the rest of us.

This happens to me as well on my iPad however it’s only on a select few websites that I visit and unfortunately BGP is one of them. BGP isn’t the only website being affected this. Makes me wonder if it’s a virus of some sort on our iPads picked up from somewhere and it only presents itself on websites that may allow pop-up/redirects like that? Unsure on the latter part as I’m unfamiliar with those types of things. I get the same problem (a lot) from a Manchester United forum I frequent.

It’s official: Twitter

Video of Grayson Allen’s hip check... you be the judge. Backside angle: Twitter Frontside angle: Twitter

Appears that Grayson Allen had another one of his “moments” again. I understand he is under a microscope but he has done nothing to help his cause. He is simply a dirty player IMO.

For context, Scott is 0-2 vs. Campbell County this year losing 73-84 @ Campbell in district play and then again 57-58 in the 37th district finals @ Campbell County Middle School.

Go Eagles!

I’d actually like him as well however I don’t think things would be a smooth transition if he was hired after Cal. If we can’t get the previous three I mentioned he would be by #1 target.

My top two preferences would be either Brad Stevens or Jay Wright but it’s probably next to impossible to pull them away from their current situations. After them, Billy Donovan is the ideal choice IMO for many reasons. After that there are plenty of other good options but nothing truly stands out who I would think would be a no brainer. To echo what others have said, it will be difficult to follow Cal but if one could I think the 3 I mentioned could do it. However, only one of those options is truly realistic.

Morehead looks like have gotten around 4 inches and it’s still coming down.

Nothing much here in Morehead. Just started to snow the last hour but it isn’t much and isn’t sticking because of the temperature. That may change overnight though. Still I don’t think we will get much at all here, if any, despite earlier predictions.

This is going to go over well...

Agreed on the latter part but all college kids are adults and should be treated as such. All college kids should know by now in their life (hell there are elementary students who know this) that stealing is wrong lawfully and morally, doubly so in another country. And I’ll leave it at that as we aren’t going to come to an agreement on this issue.

Are you trying to say that college students shouldn’t know stealing is wrong? Especially in another country where your rules don’t apply? This is basic common sense. College kids are still adults and even our legal system would treat them as such.

I’m sure any parent would do that. Being a “college kid” has no bearing on this matter as they are adults and should act and be treated like one. While they may not have the life experiences and knowledge that the rest of us do they should, at the very least, know that stealing is wrong. Not only that but doing it in a foreign country where their rules apply and not your own nations’s is even worse and they should have known that going in. I’m not going to say they weren’t raised properly but somewhere down this line someone should have already taught them that stealing is wrong and you cannot do that. Regardless Lavar Ball and the rest of his family do have my sympathy as they try to get their son back home.

He also was a teacher at Scott for a few years as well where he also mainly coached Wrestling. From what I remember, he had a few interesting quotes that he had made to students.

Based on the post below, that is basically impossible and rather unnecessary. Plenty of good competition for them in their own city as well as other established teams in other states.

Yet again the limits are there for a reason because this issues exists today and as I've said before there are ways to get around it. capt278 did just that and got a prescription and the problem was solved. There is a simple way to fix all of this and all it takes is a phone call to your doctor to get past the limitations. I guess we will never see eye to eye on this but these limitations were imposed for a reason. It was through these limitations that meth use was curbed and lifting them will return us to the status quo. The limitations were put forth because once you hit your limit then people who truly NEED it will seek their doctor to get a prescription for it. The people who don't need it won't (although some will try). It's an imperfect system yes but there are avenues to get around it.

Depends on the division and location. My pharmacy does lump both into the union and pays the same. In contrast I know Krogers where the technicians are not forced to join the union and are actually paid better. In my location the union is hurting us and my technicians when Walmart a quarter mile down the road has there technicians getting paid $2/hr more than ours are. I've considered writing to the union but have refrained because I don't how beneficial it could be.

Because meth use and production is still a problem and limits need to be put into place to help stifle that. For arguments sake, let's say we remove all the limits.... what then? Meth use will go through the roof. So what then will you do to stifle it? Regardless the easiest solution in all of this is to just get a prescription from your doctor and we will run it through your insurance. If it's not covered then we will charge cash for it. And for the "fee" we charge, it's built it when we charge your insurance and they pay us that fee, not you. They may stick you with something to pay but that's what all insurances do. And if it's not covered and it's cash well there is no "dispensing fee" assessed as that is what's done when insurance covers it. Kroger just charges a cash price based on what they paid to get the drug so they can make some money on it like any other business. My best advice is to just call your doctor and explain things and get him to send in a script for you. He might not even require you to come in thus avoiding a doctors visit and thus a co-pay. There are legal avenues for you to get around this and are needed to stem meth abuse. Whether you choose to use them is up to you. Another alternative is to take plain Claritin and then use Phenylephrine which is an alternative decongestant to pseudoephedeine and may help you just as much as Claritin-D. Phenylephrine doesn't require you to go to the pharmacy counter to buy it with your ID and is instead available in the aisle.
