MyRWA was one of 12 grant recipients from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust (MET) for projects to protect and restore rivers, watersheds, and wildlife across the Commonwealth. $60,405 has been awarded to develop a Mystic River recreation flagging system. The Mystic River Watershed Association and Tufts University will develop a system in the watershed to alert recreational users to safe or unsafe conditions. The project will increase understanding of conditions of Mystic and Malden Rivers; protect public health; increase attention to sources of pathogen contamination; and increase recreational use of the Mystic River. Read the press release here.
Since it was founded in 1988 as part of the Boston Harbor cleanup, MET has awarded more than $20 million in grants to organizations statewide that provide a wide array of environmental services, from supporting water projects in communities to protecting coastal habitats. Funding for this program comes from the sale of the state's three environmentally-themed specialty license plates: the Right Whale Tail, the Leaping Brook Trout and the Blackstone Valley Mill.

text: So on the night of the Ultramoon we went out to our favorite parking deck overlooking the city. The goal was to get some great shots of the moon but that did not pan out. Instead we got a pretty sweet sunset and some city/night photography. It turns out it is pretty difficult to capture the Ultramoon. Atlanta is still pretty. These shots overlook Atlantic Station.

Partition ratios and M50 values of different carotenoids in hexaneaqueous methanol were determined. Mercuric chloride complexes of 14 epoxy carotenoids were prepared and their absorption maxima in acetone were estimated. The difference in chromatographic behavior of carotenoid epoxides on alumina and magnesium oxide-Celite columns is discussed. It is shown that the magnesium oxide-Celite column behaves as a reverse-phase chromatographic column to alumina column.

Safe Borders = Saving Lives: New Initiatives Spotlight the Need for Respectful, Fair Border Policies
On the eve of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), let's join with border communities to call for an end to border militarization. For many years, on Dia de los Muertos, Nov. 2, we have taken time to recognize and reflect on the lives of loved ones, friends and others who have passed on. And we have paid particular tribute to the thousands of people--men, women and children--who have lost their lives under the most tragic circumstances: crossing the dangerous terrain at the U.S.-Mexico border.
There are certainly many issues at play when we think about those who risk their lives to cross without immigration documents, and under uncertain, unsfafe circumstances: the backdrop of poverty and unemployment, violence and war, discrimination and persecution of all types, coupled with the lack of legal immigration opportunities and punitive border policies.
With immigration reform stalled--and without anything on the horizon that resembles fair and just reforms, much less safe an sound border policies--we need to lift up awareness about the negative impacts of current policies on border communities and on those who must cross borders. The rights and lives of border communties, and those who cross borders, with or without documents, cannot be "thrown under the bus" in the name of a dubious "immigration reform."
'Path to Justice'
The CAMBIO coalition has launched its Path to Justice initiative to support fair and humane immigration reform. One of its first roll outs has been the popularization of the image (above) for Dia de los Muertos.
Eddie Canales, who chairs the NNIRR Board and is working with the newly-formed South Texas Human Rights Center in Falfurrias, Texas, commented in a border stakeholders statement released by CAMBIO, "The Day of the Dead is the time to invoke and celebrate loved ones who have died. This year, we honor those who died in South Texas in search for freedom and basic human right of providing for the needs of families. Specifically, in Brooks County, 70-miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, 80 have been found dead so far this year to add to the staggering 129 migrant remains recovered last year. This humanitarian crisis is a result of unaccountable enforcement efforts on the South Texas border. These deaths add to the thousands of migrant border crossers who have died in recent years due to policies that criminalize the working poor and limit human mobility."

Revitalize Not Militarize
A new campaign from the Southern Border Communities Coalition, Revitalize Not Militarize aims to ensure that the voices and interests of border communities are included in the debate on immigration reform. "The border is more than a line, it is the home of 15 million people, it is a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, and it is a unique cultural and historical space that is sacred to many who live here. The border enforcement bills that have been proposed as part of immigration reform would result in nothing more than a militarization of our communities, and is not what we need or want" stated Pedro Ríos, Director of the American Friends Service Committee's San Diego office which is a member organization of the SBCC.

A global dimension to the migrant-border crisis
The U.S.-Mexico border is not the only crisis point. Only last month, while the UN was engaged in its High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development, news came that hundreds of African migrants had drowned off the coast of the island of Lampedusa, Italy. Within a week, another boat of migrants floundered in the same area, and even more migrants lost their lives. This morning--a news report in the New York Times that the remains of some 92 African migrants had been found in the Sahara--men, women and children stranded when crossing the desert. They were thought to be from impoverished Niger, in West Africa.
The situation of migrants in transit and the militarization of borders were major concerns of migrant rights activists and advocates from some 64 countries who attended the Peoples' Global Action on Migration and Development in New York in early October, at the time of the UN meeting.

Death was prepared in the form of a trap. But before its time finally came, the mouse would have to gnaw through the wall that led into my bed-chamber. It would have to gnaw through a long and narrow passage, and gnaw through my sleep.
Sometimes I pounded on the bed with my fist, frightening myself with the way that its thunder rolled over everything imaginable in the night. And I thought I could sense that the mouse felt this fear, too. But before this wave of fright could roll gently into peace, that same quiet gnawing could be heard again from afar. It was so quiet that it was audible only to someone alone and left to himself in a house by a moonlit field on the edge of a forest. He guards himself like his own hunting dog, and even when he is asleep he will hear any approaching danger. He is like fog, when it is dark, the fog that seems to live in its own light. He is like the rain, far and wide, high and distant, in the heavens and on earth. How could he fail to notice the gnawing of a mouse, when that activity returns again to itself. He feels it in his blood. So once again I lit my candle, the bane of all four-footed intruders. But the candle didn't spread its angel wings as it had in other nights, arching them over the dark abyss of fear, becoming a spirit of the shadows, the better to offer its light . . . Instead it suddenly betrayed me to my enemy, becoming a sort of gnawing creature itself, there in its candlestick. It ate away at my sleep, and the mouse did not fear it.

Rustic and Woodsy Wedding at The Roxbury Barn • All Who Wander Events/
The only thing we love more than weddings from our preferred vendors, is when our vendors are the couple in the wedding. We just love everything about this wedding from All Who Wander Events, with their owner, Nicole, as the bride! Clean Plate Pictures captured every last detail at Roxbury Barn, which is pretty much one of the most amazing venues we've ever seen. Check out all the beautiful images below!
From All Who Wander Events: The focus on this wedding from the start was family, food, and fun. The small town of Roxbury, NY provided the perfect backdrop for Andrew + Nicole's wedding weekend. From Friday through Sunday guests stayed in a local, themed hotel (we're talking about you Roxbury Motel), setting the tone right from the start. The wedding took place at The Roxbury Barn, the perfect rustic location. The ceremony was nestled in a pine grove where guests were surrounded by hundreds of trees and serenaded by an acoustic guitar. The cocktail hour took place on the hilltop with 360 degree views of the Catskill Mountains. Then, dinner took place under the stars and they danced the night away inside the barn. Nicole's vision from the start was to play off of all of all of the natural elements surrounding the barn. We worked with Nicole to create her intimate, refined rustic wedding by using light grays, ivory, whites, and little pops of gold to enhance the barn and the surrounding woods. Our favorite part was seeing everyone set off wish lanterns when the wedding moved from the barn up to the bonfire. We love The Roxbury Barn!

In a recent study, it was revealed that

How many persons do you talk to about God daily? Think about this, do you think you can share the word of God to about eight individuals daily? In today's modern world, people live their lives in fast mode like http://christianteeshirts.net They're always run on time and often late to church. Think and stop about how many individuals you've talked to about God this month or week or this year, do you think it could it to a thousand mark?
You have probably heard some people say or beg Lord to use them yet they don't even talk to their neighbors about God. They often picture themselves in a huge stage preaching Bible verses or maybe singing and have hopes and they say they want to go to different parts of the globe to share the word of God. But, the reality is, no one is brave enough to step foot on a big stage and inspire people throughout glorifying God through our which has even been featured on http://www.womenschristiantshirts.com

In fact, they can change people the way they dress and they can change the world slowly. They can't also walk around and say they have Jesus in their heart, yet can anyone see Him, if you are a shy person who does not want to tell or talk people about Him Christian T-Shirts Amazon If you know how much individuals are in need and interested of God, if you'd express God on how you dress. The best way to do it and having people ask you about Him is through wearing something that represents God. There are lots of testimonies you've heard of individuals opening themselves and asking about God due to they themselves also open the door for you to tell them about what your shirt means.

I comprehends the methods but totally disagree with Emilio "doing it" because cantas Gloria Buenos.
The stench of Voca podria is arguably as base a rotten bacala and this 💩💩💩EStef💩💩💩coming out of his weko. 💩💩Whew! Your bottom reeks of Conga and total body dropping are you in shape or can Frank push his back in as la ca ca is in the restroom at 420?
This entire DVD set is exceptional.
Too bad people fell for the more expensive "name" 90 day systems that continue to rehash programs just to make $$$$.
If followed and done with occasional weeks off you can do this for life and never get stale.
Total Body is outstanding and as a stand alone routine can be used by athletes 2-3 days weekly to enhance their strength and conditioning for sports.
This set will work for decades and Holland is great as host and instructor.
No dread or down time either.
Workout and done.
10 STARS out of 10
El total booty routine stinks like Emikio Estefan whose dental odor reeks of💩
Legend says he eats the backside of Gloria or Franks with Jesse looking torque cagan todos unidos.
La cobinacion De 💩🍕🍔🍟🍺🍷bueno la mierda De ethos cubanitos is malisimo.
Gotta tell ya, the entire DVD set is simply awesome.
I have recently compared this workout against Body Beast Total Body and some of the P90X3 total body routines.
This is better and harder.
Too bad they never did S90 2.
Instructor Comments:
Holland is great as host/instructor.
The creators of this program should get more publicity.
This is one of the 10 DVDs in the Supreme 90 set, led by Tom Holland. As Lindsey mentioned, it is a brief 30 minute circuit style total body routine. Tom leads four exercisers (two male and two female) who demonstrate moves while he comments on form, poundage, etc.
This was my first Supreme 90 class, and I was a little taken aback that the warm up started in a prone position (with the nearly 200 videos I own, I have to say thats a first!) for bridge work. A strong pet peeve of mine is unnecessary floor to standing to floor to standing transitions, so I did some marching in place until Tom transitioned to standing, about one minute into the warm up. He followed us through a quick series of unweighted squats and lunges, military march, jumping jacks and jogging, etc. The warm up was about 5 minutes.
In the actual workout, which lasted from about 5:00-25:00, there were several circuits, in which one of the girls (in a separate scene in which she is alone) demonstrates all of the moves, before the whole class commences the circuit. It was not immediately obvious to me to use this time as a breather between circuits (since Tom didnt mention to) but once I caught on it was certainly refreshing.
The circuits, as Lindsey said, included three strength moves (often functional), followed by a plyometric move, then the whole circuit is repeated three times before moving on. I generally dont care for workouts that repeat exercises over and over, but the transitions were so lightning fast that it was impossible to get bored (it was nearly impossible to keep up for that matter, but Im hoping this will get easier with a learning curve after several uses). I liked the style of doing heavy work for the upper and lower body, then really burn out the muscles with a plyo set. For instance, in one circuit you might do weighted lunges, clean and press, deadlifts, then plyo lunges really burning out those legs especially after having done weighted lunges.
Other exercises included a variation on double crunches paired with a variation of elbow planks (felt fatigue in the core), kettlebell swings (demonstrated with one heavy dumbbell although you might choose to use a kettlebell, as I did, if you have one), double arm row, deadlifts, squats, pushups, plyo pushups (as a strength move I was able to execute these a little easier on the rebounder), prone bench press, cleans, clean and press. The plyo work at the end of the circuit included squat jumps, plyo jumps (as I mentioned), and a really fun explosive hop forward several feet. As an intermediate exerciser (moving up towards low advanced), the hop forward looked a little intimidating, but I tried it, and found out I could do it, do it well with good form, and it was fun too! That was a confidence booster for me.
My complaints are minor but include:
(1) For a total body workout, there was a very heavy emphasis on the chest, back, and legs, but not any attention given to triceps, and very little given to shoulders, biceps, and core. I compensated for this by doing prone triceps presses instead of the bench press. I might tinker around with this in future uses to get a more well-rounded workout.
(2) The music was quite generic, so I used my own music, which helped. Very minor quibble. A lot of workouts these days dont have great music, not a big deal.
(3) Tom encouraged you (including the women, which was great!) to use very heavy weights, but it was hard to go very heavy and also execute as many reps as he instructed (generally between 8-12) in the time allotted when I focused on reps I found myself to be woefully behind all the others. So instead I executed the moves at my speed (and tried to use a challenging weight I used 12# all the way through but will try to go higher as I get more comfortable with the routine) and moved to the next exercise when most of the class transitioned. This worked okay, but did require me to constantly watch the screen to keep up every time I focused on my reps, I realized I was one or even two exercises behind everybody! However, it did keep my heart rate up there and I still felt I got a very good workout.
(4) The workout is not chaptered, and there was a faint sense of general disorganization, maybe because all of the exercisers went at their own pace, so sometimes they were all doing different things. But for $20 for TEN DVDs, who can complain about that? Based on this first look at the set, I am confident that Ill get my moneys worth.
I am not going to do a full S90 rotation, just planning to integrate these workouts into my regular (non) routine. I think I can utilize this workout like a Jillian workout I felt I exerted about the same amount of energy here as I did in, say, a Ripped in 30 workout. There was a little of everything for strength, some challenging but not redundant cardio, and it was all over in about a half hour. Due to the length of the workout, I could give it my all, but know I would feel energized, not drained, at the end. Definitely an enjoyable circuit routine. I would say this is high intermediate if it had been an hour of this, it would have been advanced, but with the shorter time of the workout, it is very doable for somebody at an intermediate level. You could always challenge yourself by adding something on at the end, if it doesnt feel like quite enough. Really for the retail of the set ($20) I feel like theres a very low risk factor in trying it, if you have any interest in it at all. Overall grade A- (only because of the lack of triceps work and the too fast transitions). Im overall pretty pleased at the quality of this product for the price.
Instructor Comments:
Tom was a good instructor. He was encouraging and supportive of his exercisers, and I liked that he encouraged everyone (including the women) to use challenging poundage. I think he would be amenable to many because he doesnt have any annoying tendencies (overly chatty or jokey, yelling at you, showing off, etc.) I look forward to trying his other S90 workouts.
Tom leads this 33 minute workout in a lifting gym style set. Tom instructs PT style with 4 background exercisers actually performing all the moves. You will need dumbbells for this workout. The dvd is chaptered into warmup and workout (the warmup is the same for all the discs in this series) and the workout includes a cooldown. A countdown timer comes up for the final 5 seconds of the work portions.
This workout is structured circuit style- you do 4 exercises and then repeat those 3 times. The warmup is the same on all dvds. Each circuit contains 3 (mostly multi muscle) strength exercises followed by one plyometric cardio move. You perform each exercise 8-12 times at your own pace. Before each circuit a demo clip of each move is shown so you know what exercises you will be doing.
Exercises include: figure 4 crunches, reach through planks, kettlebell swings, clapping plyo pushups, row, deadlifts, squat jumps, lunge, dead lift cleans, jumping lunges, bench press, clean & press, squats, and long jumps. The plyo moves get your heart rate up and teh multi muscle strength moves keep it up!
I rate this is a high intermediate workout. I really like that each exerciser goes at their own pace- so do I. As with every S90 w/o Ive done so far- love the sequencing!!! They really sequence the exercises to optimize your workout time and intensity. You can really give each plyo move everything youve got as with the strength moves. Tom is a great lead- very motivating. Received this dvd to review.

Michelle Obama in Minnesota today
The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is scheduled to campaign in Minnesota today.
Michelle Obama is scheduled to make campaign stops in Rochester and St. Paul. She will appear at the Mayo Civic Center at noon with DFL Congressman Tim Walz.
Mrs. Obama will then travel to St. Paul where she will speak at Macalaster College. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., will also appear at the event.
Mrs. Obama will appear first at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester at 12:00 p.m. Then, she'll hold a forum at St. Paul's Macalester College at 4:00 p.m.
The campaign said Michelle Obama plans to focus on the economy and other major issues facing voters this election.
The husband of Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will also campaign in Minnesota this week.
Todd Palin will talk to voters and outdoor enthusiasts in Duluth, Grand Rapids and Bemidji on Thursday.
He will visit Thief River Falls and Moorhead on Friday.
The visits come just days after Republican John McCain held a town hall meeting with voters in Lakeville.
Obama campaign spokesman Nick Kimball said both of Michelle Obama's events will be a great chance for Minnesota voters to learn more about Barack Obama's policies.
"What Minnesotans want us to focus on is the issues. They are looking for who is the candidate that is going to focus on the economy, who is going to get a handle on this crisis and have steady leadership to turn things around and get things back on track. And I think you are going to hear more about that from Michelle Obama," Kimball said.
Both events are free and open to the public.
Both presidential campaigns see Minnesota and several other Upper Midwest states as key to winning the election.

I am a big fan of the health effects of herbs and this Infuser bottle allows me to add fresh herbs to my water easily...without drinking chunks of them. My current favorite is cucumber basil water. It is so good! If you're looking for more infused water combinations look here: Making infused water with fruit & herbs.
The Fit Fix bottle was really simple to use. I just placed the fruit in the infusion basket and screw into the base. Put the base and water bottle together. Then fill with water and cap.....that's it!
I also love the fact that with the basket at the bottom and the mouth piece at the top the bottle comes apart completely for cleaning. No more hoping to get it clean with a baby bottle brush. Just take apart and scrub. Super easy!
When looking for an infusion water bottle I think 4 things are important:
- Infusion basket on the bottom. I don't like the basket on top bottles at all. Halfway through the bottle the basket is above the water and not infusing at all. A basket on the bottom keep the fruit & herbs under water until the last drop.
- Complete disassemble. I like to be able to take the top and bottom off of my bottle so I can clean it completely. I'm using it daily and need to make sure there are no areas I can't reach to clean well.
- Dishwasher safe is even better for cleaning.
- BPA free. I'm trying to drink clean here....no need for chemical additives in my bottle!
Once again I received a discount through a third party in exchange for my honest review.

This I cannot hide from you. I just got a box of pink truffles from a client who came back from a trip to England. I do not eat sweets often but I was certainly familiar with the famous Charbonnel et Walker brand back from when I lived in London. Established in 1875, Charbonnel Et Walker is the most revered British chocolatier regularly supplying chocolates to the British royal family. Other fans include: Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney and Freida Pinto.
Turns out these pink truffles are the most famous of their offerings and I now understand why. I did not expect to eat most of them before I was able to take a picture for you! Well, it happened, so you are looking at a stock image instead.
So what's the secret of Charbonnel Et Walker's Marc De Chamapagne filling? It is not Champagne, it's a brandy produced by distilling grape skins, seeds and stalks left over from the pressing process in the first stage of Champagne production. Pink March De Champagne filling is surrounded by a mixture of milk chocolate (delicate strawbery flavor) and butter (of course!), and finished with a light dusting of icing sugar. To die for.
Other intriguing flavors:
Rose & Violet Truffles: dark chocolate center infused with English rose and violet flavor, covered in dark chocolate and finished with crystalized rose and violet petals.
Bucks Fizz Truffles: milk chocolate with Marc De Champagne and orange center.
Turns out life IS a box of chocolates.
Get yours at Saks and enjoy!!!!!

Fingolimod, a novel agent also known as FTY-720, was more effective than both placebo and the standard of care for MS, interferon-beta-1a (Avonex), in two independent trials.
The studies, called FREEDOMS and TRANSFORMS, were reported by Ludwig Kappos, MD, of the University of Basel in Switzerland, and colleagues, and by Jeffrey Cohen, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic, and other researchers, respectively. Some researchers worked on both studies.
Cladribine, an oral drug already marketed for hematologic cancers under the trade name Leustatin, was clearly more effective than placebo in a third trial called CLARITY reported by Gavin Giovannoni, MB, BCh, PhD, of Queen Mary University in London, and colleagues.
Action Points
- Explain to interested patients that the two drugs described, fingolimod and cladribine, are not FDA approved for multiple sclerosis. Fingolimod is not approved for any purpose and is currently available only in a clinical trial setting.
- Explain that the three trials were all randomized, controlled studies, the strongest form of medical evidence.
"The studies in this issue of the [NEJM] provide a new horizon for patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and a welcome increase in the range of treatment options," William M. Carroll, MBBS, MD, of Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia, wrote in an accompanying editorial.
Oral drugs for MS would not only improve patient acceptance of treatment, but also "further support a change in treatment approach to directly prevent immune-mediated injury," Carroll wrote.
Existing disease-modifying therapies -- interferon, glatiramer acetate (Copaxone), and natalizumab (Tysabri) -- are all injectable drugs.
"Patients hate the shots and have been waiting 17 years for an oral drug," John Corboy, MD, a neurologist of the University of Colorado in Denver who was not involved in the study, told MedPage Today and ABC news when contacted for comment."
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society also expressed delight at the reports.
"The published results ... are wonderful news for people with MS," wrote John Richert, MD, the group's executive vice president of research and clinical programs, in a report to local chapters.
"Having oral therapies in the MS pipeline is real progress, and it should increase the number of people who choose to begin therapy earlier and who stay on therapy, which our experts say is the best way to combat future disease activity."
Most of the studies' key results had been presented last spring at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting. (See AAN: Oral MS Drug with Novel Mechanism Beats Interferon-Beta1a and AAN: Cancer Drug Shows Promise as Oral MS Therapy)
But the journal reports included additional details, especially on adverse effects, as well as peer review.
The two drugs target different aspects of T-cell biology. These cells are key players in the autoimmune attack on the myelin sheaths surrounding nerve fibers, which, in turn, causes the slow loss of peripheral nerve function.
Cladribine induces active T cells to undergo apoptosis, which explains its utility in hairy cell leukemia, lymphoma, and certain other hematologic malignancies.
Fingolimod has a different mechanism. It causes the sphingosine-1-phosphatase receptor, which normally sits on the surface of T and B cells, to withdraw into the cell interior.
The effect is to leave the cells unresponsive to signals that instruct them to exit lymph nodes and head toward sites of inflammation. Keeping T cells bottled up in lymph nodes prevents them from attacking nerves in MS.
The two placebo-controlled studies of fingolimod and cladribine both showed that relapse rates and disease progression were reduced.
In the 1,272-patient fingolimod study, annualized relapse rates were 0.40 in the placebo group, 0.18 with 0.5 mg of the drug daily, and 0.16 with a 1.25-mg dose over a two-year period (P<0.001 for both doses versus placebo).
The hazard ratios for disability progression relative to placebo at the two-year evaluation were 0.70 and 0.68 for the low and high doses of fingolimod, respectively (P=0.02 for both comparisons).
Cladribine, a more toxic drug, was given in short bursts of treatment over the 96-week study.
Two dosing regimens were tested, delivering cumulative totals of 3.5 or 5.25 mg/kg, along with placebo. Patients took one or two 10-mg tablets daily for the first four or five days of either two or four monthly periods starting at week zero, followed by two additional monthly courses starting at week 48.
Results for the primary outcome of annualized relapse rate were 0.33 for placebo, 0.14 for the low cladribine dose, and 0.15 for the higher dose (P<0.001 for both doses versus placebo).
Hazard ratios for disability progression at week 96 for cladribine versus placebo were 0.67 with the low dose (P=0.02) and 0.69 with the high dose (P=0.03).
Perhaps more striking were the findings in the other fingolimod trial, in which the drug was tested head-to-head against the current standard of care.
The same two doses of fingolimod were used. Patients assigned to interferon received the drug in weekly intramuscular injections of 30 μg.
The annualized relapse rate with interferon was 0.33, whereas it was significantly lower with fingolimod: 0.16 with the 0.5-mg dose and 0.20 for the 1.25-mg dose (P<0.001 versus interferon for both).
But the risk of disease progression did not differ significantly between treatment groups.
Moreover, two patients receiving the higher fingolimod dose died of herpes zoster infections, disseminated in one case and causing encephalopathy in the other. Increased rates of herpes zoster infections were also seen in the other fingolimod trial and with cladribine. In the cladribine trial, lymphocytopenia was seen in about 14% of patients taking the drug, compared with less than 2% of the placebo group.
Fingolimod also seemed to be associated with cardiac rhythm disturbances, including bradycardia (2.7% with fingolimod, 0.7% placebo) and atrioventricular conduction block, though the latter was mostly confined to the higher drug dose (five cases versus two each for the low dose and placebo).
Leukopenia and lymphocytopenia were also seen with fingolimod in the placebo-controlled study, though at lower rates than with cladribine -- about 3% to 6%, compared with less than 1% in the control group.
Lymphocytopenia was less frequent overall in the interferon-controlled study, seen in 0.2% of the low-dose group and 1.0% of the high-dose group, compared with no cases in the interferon-treated patients.
Hillel Panitch, MD, of the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vt., told MedPage Today and ABC News that the findings were actually reassuring.
"The adverse events including herpes infections, malignancies, and bradycardia are much less of an issue than expected for these drugs, and with the proper oversight should not delay their use," Panitch wrote in an e-mail.
Richert of the National MS Society also indicated that the reported adverse effects were not especially worrisome.
"Herpes infections are likely to occur with many different immune-modulating therapies, including some already approved for MS," he wrote in an e-mail to MedPage Today and ABC News, adding that these usually respond to treatment.
"They should be something patients and doctors keep a lookout for," he wrote.
Similarly, he said, the cardiac effects of fingolimod appeared transient and asymptomatic. But he suggested it may be necessary to avoid combining fingolimod with anti-arrhythmic drugs in at least some patients.
But Colorado's Corboy was more concerned by the side effect profile. He pointed to the issue of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) seen with natalizumab (Tysabri) in MS patients, which kept the drug off the market for a time.
"The price you may have to pay for greater efficacy is greater risk," he wrote in an e-mail. He said some in the MS community would avoid the new oral drugs because of the risks, should they be approved.
The manufacturers of both drugs have filed for FDA approval. Merck Serono was first to file, for cladribine, but the FDA informed the company in late November that it considered the application incomplete and refused to accept it.
Company officials promised at the time that they would submit additional information requested by the agency. They did not respond to requests for an update.
Novartis, maker of fingolimod, announced in mid-December that its FDA filing was imminent and a company representative confirmed that it had been submitted.
Although the FDA has given both drugs fast-track status, the possibility that the agency will want an advisory committee review may push their final approvals into 2011.
This article was developed in collaboration with ABC News.
The two fingolimod studies were funded by Novartis. The study of cladribine was funded by Merck Serono.
Authors of the placebo-controlled study of fingolimod reported relationships other than research funding with Novartis and many other firms including Accorda, Actelion, Allergan, Allozyne, Bayer Schering, Biogen Idec, Biogen-Dompe, Boehringer Ingelheim, Genmab, GlaxoSmithKline, Medicinova, Merck Serono, Roche, sanofi aventis, Santhera, Teva, UCB, Wyeth, Helvea, and Mediservice. Several co-authors were employees of Novartis.

Theo Robinson opened his City account with a brace tonight to secure an FA Cup first round place for City.
It's been said City aren't a good FA Cup team but once again we've negotiated the 4th qualifying round once again, having only failed to make the first round proper once since coming down.
It was a feisty and exciting encounter against Guiseley with a superb goal, some nervy moments and the obligatory cup red card. The important fact of course is the win and progress to face Altrincham on November 5th.
Theo's goals signalled his arrival on this stage, and as I've always maintained he is far too good for this level. He's here on a non-contract basis to put himself in the shop window and unfortunately as a non-league club we have to accept that as a fact of life. If he plays well clubs will be alerted, and I would imagine he'll be interested in a move to the Football League. If he plays badly then there's no benefit for us either.
In reality we have to enjoy Theo while he is here, and tonight he looked to work well with Matt Rhead. As an experienced striker used to playing off a big man I think he has the experience to score a lot more goals for Lincoln, especially if he continues to work with Rheady. It's okay having pace and finishing ability but in order to realy have an advantage you need intelligence, and having played at Championship Theo has it.
Theo isn't the only massive plus for Lincoln at the moment. Even though Arnold is injured it is the other wing where we are benefitting – Harry Anderson looks absolutely superb. He had a quiet spell and sat a couple of games out, but since then he's been a revelation and keeping him and Theo on form is going to be crucial in the coming weeks.
We have an intense looking fixture list now, with Eastleigh, Boreham Wood,Chester and Chester all coming up in the space of ten days. It'll be a real test of the whole squad, and I wonder if by the time we get to the FA Cup match against Altrincham we have a significantly different looking squad? Certainly Taylor Miles should be approaching fitness by then, and I'm informed there could be two new faces joining us as some point in the next few days.
The Imps will need to utilise their whole squad and a few more bodies won't go amiss as we enter a season defining spell. Not only do we have those games coming up but also a that massive clash with Forest Green. Once we've negotiated that spell I think we'll have a clear idea of exactly where we are as a team, and what our realistic expectations are. Without getting carried away, deep down I think we all believe that this might just be our season. How much would a good cup run help that momentum?
Whatever happens if Harry Anderson and Theo Robinson can maintain their form then we have every chance of heading towards Christmas with a second round tie to look forward too, and an exciting race at the top of the table. It's a good time to be an Imps fan, make sure you enjoy it.

into the same [6297]Turkey paradise, "Where they shall have as many fair wives as they will themselves, with clear eyes, and such as look on none but their own husbands," no fear, no danger of being cuckolds; or else I would have them observe that strict rule of [6298]Alphonsus, to marry a deaf and dumb man to a blind woman. If this will not help, let them, to prevent the worst, consult with an [6299]astrologer, and see whether the significators in her horoscope agree with his, that they be not in signis et partibus odiose intuentibus aut imperantibus, sed mutuo et amice antisciis et obedientibus, otherwise (as they hold) there will be intolerable enmities between them: or else get them sigillum veneris, a characteristical seal stamped in the day and hour of Venus, when she is fortunate, with such and such set words and charms, which Villanovanus and Leo Suavius prescribe, ex sigillis magicis Salomonis, Hermetis, Raguelis, &c., with many such, which Alexis, Albertus, and some of our natural magicians put upon us: ut mulier cum aliquo adulterare non possit, incide de capillis ejus, &c., and he shall surely be gracious in all women's eyes, and never suspect or disagree with his own wife so long as he wears it. If this course be not approved, and other remedies may not be had, they must in the last place sue for a divorce; but that is somewhat difficult to effect, and not all out so fit. For as Felisacus in his tract de justa uxore urgeth, if that law of Constantine the Great, or that of Theodosius and Valentinian, concerning divorce, were in use in our times, innumeras propemodum viduas haberemus, et coelibes viros, we should have almost no married couples left. Try therefore those former remedies; or as Tertullian reports of Democritus, that put out his eyes, [6300]because he could not look upon a woman without lust, and was much troubled to see that which he might not enjoy; let him make himself blind, and so he shall avoid that care and molestation of watching his wife. One other sovereign remedy I could repeat, an especial antidote against jealousy, an excellent cure, but I am not now disposed to tell it, not that like a covetous empiric I conceal it for any gain, but some other reasons, I am not willing to publish it: if you be very desirous to know it, when I meet you next I will peradventure tell you what it is in your ear. This is the best counsel I can give; which he that hath need of, as occasion serves, may apply unto himself. In the mean time,—dii talem terris avertite pestem, [6301]as the proverb is, from heresy, jealousy and frenzy, good Lord deliver us.
SUBSECT. I.—Religious Melancholy. Its object God; what his beauty is; How it allures. The parts and parties affected.
That there is such a distinct species of love melancholy, no man hath ever yet doubted: but whether this subdivision of [6302]Religious Melancholy be warrantable, it may be controverted.

Ticket Stub By Tim Hensley
Tim Hensley's wonderful mini-comic/zine series from the 1990s, Ticket Stub, has been recently collected in into a single volume by Oakland, CA small press publisher Yam Books. As the story goes, Tim was working as a closed-caption editor, creating subtitles for movies and TV shows and created the bulk of these comics in his spare time on the job. The very films and shows he was captioning served as his inspiration, creating panels from the film stills. His subjects ranged from films like Magnolia to Killer Klowns From Outer Space to classics like Annie Get Your Gun. Hensley's interpretations of these films really shines through in the bizarre copy and dialog he adds which comes across as like some sort of absurd academic critique.
Visually, Ticket Stub is a treat. Hensley has a style of linework that really queues up his sense of humor and his use of hand-drawn typography is very well done. The overall presentation is pulled together with a great book design utilizing a rough matte, off-white paper with a single dark purple ink and a die cut at the bottom to make the book resemble the shape of an actual ticket stub.
Pick up a copy of Ticket Stub directly from the Yam Books website or you can find it at a number of finer comic shops around the U.S.

January 9 2007
Diary Entry January 9 2007 Location: The Office, Perth
Well another hectic month on the path to HGM World Domination. I've been working hard on the pilot for the HGMtv show and it should be finished completely within a week or so. It features FMX, Huge Surf, Mountain Biking, Crashes and Chicks so there's plenty there for everyone.
With the help of the boys at punk band 3 Days Later we wrote and recorded a HGMtv theme song. It's one minute of killer punk. I love it. I've always wanted a HGM theme song. For some reason it makes me feel like we've made it haha.
Anyway we went and filmed 3 Days Later playing it live to about 10 people at the Hyde Park Hotel and made a video clip you can check out HGMtv Theme Song.
It's pretty classic. the guitarist and head honcho at Beer Fridge Records- Karlost - had dislocated his shoulder the day before and had it all taped up. It's amazing he could play at all. It's been a while since I've been to a punk rock show. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy that raw music live. Punk Out...
The HGMtv theme song live clip can be found here

No dyes or stains are used in this cutting board so the natural bamboo color will not fade or wash out. Please note that this board is 11/16 inch thick, whereas most other bamboo cutting boards are only 3/8" thick. There are 2 methods of cutting bamboo for manufacturing a cutting board: Horizontal cut or vertical cut. Once cut, the pieces are then pressed together to make a solid board. Cutting boards that are made of vertically cut bamboo are much stronger and more durable than horizontally cut boards. All boards that are only 3/8" or 1/2" thick are made with horizontally cut bamboo, hence, they are cheaper. Horizontally cut bamboo can not be used to make thicker boards like our 11/16" thick board. The extra thick Da Vinci cutting boards are made with vertically cut bamboo making them considerably more durable than the competition. The board size is 18 x 12 inches. To care for bamboo wooden cutting boards, do not soak them in water, do not use a dish washer. After every few uses, rub some vegetable oil or olive oil with a paper towel all over the board to make sure water does not get in to warp the board.

Ex-board member Green to enter race
OLYMPIA - Former City Councilman Matthew Green said Wednesday that he will run again for the council, seeking the seat that Councilwoman Laura Ware is vacating.
Green, who was on the council from 2002 to 2006, said he decided to run because the three council members who are the most liberal and have the most experience aren't running again.
Leaving next year are Mayor Mark Foutch, who has been on the council since 1992; Ware, a councilwoman since 1996; and TJ Johnson, who served an appointed term from 2000 to 2001 and was elected in 2004.
"We are losing the strongest progressive voices on the council, definitely," Green said.
If Green is elected, he will be paid $16,640 per year, the result of a pay raise that council members approved Tuesday night. Pay for council members is $8,644, but members elected in November will earn more.
Ware and Johnson have endorsed Green.
"I think he's precisely the type of person that the City Council needs," Johnson said.
He cited Green's council experience supporting environmental and open-government issues.
"He'll be an independent voice that won't go along just to go along," Johnson said.
Green, 38, is an aide to state Sen. Ken Jacobsen, D-Seattle. He said he hopes to bring a slew of issues to City Council if he is elected.
"My biggest concern with the council right now is what they're not doing," he said.
He wants to keep free parking in downtown, eliminate development fees for downtown redevelopment and create a community arts center.
The city should market downtown better, and more walking police patrols are needed, he said.
Green said he opposes the Pedestrian Interference Ordinance and favors the council spending money on transitional housing for homeless people. He said the city also should support efforts to find a permanent site for Olympia's tent city, Camp Quixote II.
Green said his council experience distinguishes him from the other candidates. He said one of his top accomplishments as a council member was stopping a proposed conference center, "thus saving millions of taxpayer dollars, dollars now being put to better use for the Hands On Children's Museum and more ball fields," according to his candidacy statement.
He also cited his work requiring public hearings before budget discussions instead of after, pushing a successful voters' initiative to add more parks and pressing for more environmental protections. Earlier controversy
With his new council run, former Councilman Matthew Green will have to face demons of his past term. In 2003, then-Councilwoman Jeanette Hawkins filed a harassment complaint against him after a heated argument during a break in a council meeting.
The council suspended Green from committee and multiagency meetings while he was investigated. A report that cost more than $15,000 found six incidents in which Green became visibly angry toward others and sometimes used profanities.

Lately, it has been an arduous chore. In the past 10 games, the Sox are 7-for-70 with runners in scoring position. Frazier, who has 16 homers and hit 40 only a year ago, would at least offer another power threat.
Still, that's a serious return for Gray, who in many ways was the most wanted man on the trade market this July. Not only is Gray, 27, healthy and pitching like one womens baseball jersey costume of the best hurlers in baseball again (1.48 ERA this month), but he isn't a free agent until after the 2019 season.

We interviewed HaiHa just after her return from Vietnam in 2008.
Peril: You have been an actress for some time now. Was it something you always wanted to be and was your family supportive?
HL: I wanted to be an actress from around the age of thirteen. It didn't come from an innate desire to perform or entertain, I was actually painfully shy and quiet. SBS TV had much to do with my formative years, I remember secretly watching 'World Movies' and being horrified, inspired and enlightened, it was a transformative experience having lived such a hermetic childhood, I caught a glimpse of the wonderfully dark crevices of the human mind and experience. I thought acting is a passport into these worlds, which also allows you to make a safe exit, but then the world of acting itself is maligned with all sorts of insecurities and neurosis! So understandably my parents were vehemently opposed to my decision, I used to sneak out the bedroom window to attend acting classes at the Footscray Art Centre. I got caught eventually and banned from even talking about it, it was deemed such a lowly profession, perhaps on the same par as prostitution.
HL: I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Cinema Studies and Vietnamese Literature at Melbourne Uni and went off to work at the Australian Film Institute for a little while, still not knowing whether to commit to acting, but still doing plays and short films all the while. So in 2003/4, I went to New York City and trained at the HB Studio, it was only during this time that I could fathom the level of commitment it was going to take and so I jumped in to the proverbial deep end. I think I've endured almost a decade of my parents insisting I get a proper job, but in the past few years they've seen the fruits of my labour in the form of TV appearances and newspaper interviews, a (sometimes) healthy paycheque, etc so they've come around, somewhat.
Peril: You have starred in a range of TV and theatrical roles. What has been your favourite role so far and why?
HL: Television can be quite daunting at times because of the lack of time for rehearsal, sometimes the only rehearsal you get is on set just before a take, so you have to be quite prepared and receptive to direction, it does feel a little bit out of your control because after your work is done it is sent through post-production and becomes something unrecognisable! I've been fortunate enough to have a regular role on two TV shows, Kick (SBS) and Bed of Roses (ABC), it does get easier once you've gotten into the groove, but sometimes they are more concerned that you hit your mark for the camera than your actual performance. Theatre is my training ground, and that doesn't suggest that I view it as a means to an end. I find theatre terrifying and every time I approach a text I am anxiety stricken, and before opening night I can never fathom how or why I wanted to do the show in the first instance! Having never had formal training, I feel privileged to have worked with strong, visionary female directors such as Peta Hanrahan; who initially terrified me, she ran rehearsals akin to bootcamp, making us run around the block twice before each rehearsal and each run of the play, we had to read the script cover to cover before each show, even on closing night and we did trust exercises such as throwing spears aimed at each other's head! I was nominated for a Green Room award in 2005 for Dominic Golding's 'Shrimp', much (if not all) to her credit. The most challenging role I've had to date was in Kit Lazaroo's play 'Letters From Animals' in which I played a double agent and a cockroach. The play had it's own lyrical, complex language structure, and it made me very aware that English was my second language! The wonderful director Jane Woollard had a fascinating way of entering the text physically and aurally, we spent almost a week just speaking each line and feeling how it affected our physicality. I felt completely in over my head but I guess that's a position you want to be if you're to learn anything valuable. The most exhilarating thing about what I do is the people I get to collaborated with who stimulate, inspire and challenge me.
Peril: Have you faced special challenges in being a Vietnamese-Australian actress? If so what were they?
HL: I started out doing a lot of work at the Footscray Community Arts Centre (circa 2000) which was an invaluable rights of passage, most of the projects were topical and revolved around my Vietnamese or adolescent experience. Eventually however, it has been my constant endeavour to venture beyond this multicultural prism to explore universal themes that aren't culturally specific. You can get upset about being put in a box or you can certainly utilise your stereotype to your benefit, it is such a fickle industry that you would face challenges no matter what your ethnicity, age or sex. Eventually though, to grow as an artist you can't just be the novelty act. I've really only found the freedom to work beyond the multicultural stereotypes in my theatre work. Film and TV are still quite conservative where I'm usually only called in if the character brief specifies 'Asian', although it is getting better now, things are definitely changing and opportunities for Asian actors are increasing.
Peril: You have just returned from Vietnam after working on a film there. What was that like?
HL: I said to myself; I am going to Vietnam and not returning until I get any sort of acting work. Initially I was contemplating soap operas or ideally feature films, however once I got there it was daunting because if you've seen the quality of 99% of the productions you'll sympathise. I also wanted to go back to Vietnam because it felt from the outside that there is a renaissance in film with foreign filmmakers and expatriates (Viet Kieu) returning to invest and develop in the film industry. I am greatly inspired by Tran Anh Hung's body of work, the local productions are still quite primitive, with only 2007's Ao Lua Ha Dong that had high production value, there was also The Rebel which was made by Viet Kieu's (expats) who took out a bank loan to finance it, so the story goes. Anyway a friend of mine is a producer at Starfilm in Saigon who happened to have 40 rolls of 35mm film and a script for a short film about a Viet Kieu who returns with her boyfriend to the island of Phu Quoc. It was good timing.
Working on a Vietnamese speaking set was quite surreal, things were a little chaotic and unstructured, but there is a fluidity of operation that you have to learn to relax in to and trust that it will happen. Because there are no equity laws and no overtime penalties, we could shoot up to 20 hours a day with no break, you snuck in a break when you were waiting for a set up. I loved the sense of camaraderie, the crew and people in general seem to act on a moral code, if you gain their trust and win their hearts there is nothing they won't do for you. The most rewarding part for me was to be able to work with real people off the street, an old man who sold lottery tickets, wandering all day and night barely making enough to feed his children, an old lady who sold newspapers on the same street corner for 20 years, and also amongst them, professional Vietnamese actors.
Peril: What advice do you have for Asian women who wish to do as you do?
HL: I still feel a galaxy away from where I would like to be in my career so I don't really feel equipped to be advising anyone…but I guess it's important we don't position ourselves from the margins, we just have to think of ourselves as an actor and not put ourselves in to the Asian Australian category or any sort of category. You already have people doing that for you. I think acting is a skill that can always be improved, not necessarily an innate talent that you can rely on to get you through. So you just have get as much work experience as you can and a lot of that is unpaid work in the beginning, but you have the freedom to fail and experiment and also to find what works for you. Or you could spend 3 years in acting school, which I also find very appealing. Most importantly you have to let go of the safety net and get rid of 'plan B', it takes 1000% commitment, and a certain degree of 'selective hearing' and tenacity. You can often find yourself oscillating between wealth and poverty, exhilaration and deep depression, pride and humiliation, I actually don't recommend it unless you are positive there is nothing else you'd rather be doing.
It's also important that we can devise our own projects and write our own stories, films, plays etc., we know our stories better than anyone else. I think life experience is also important; you have to have something going on in your eyes and in your head. I think the most fascinating actors to watch are the ones who don't need to do anything but they still omit humanity through their pores it seems!
