The Pedro's ICM multi-tool is a 17-function model that follows the pocket workshop narrative. Personally, I'd opt for something smaller and lighter when out on a pared-to-the-essentials best bike, but in most respects it delivers.
Resin bodies aren't what I expect at this end of the market, although Pedro's has used a high quality variant that doesn't feel particularly whippy under load. It also fits comfortably in the palm when applying a bit more leverage.

The hardened chrome vanadium steel tool bits are just the right length, possibly a bit overkill for some but extremely practical for tourers, mountain bikes and others in hard, daily service. The tools have a corrosion-inhibiting satin finish which is helped by an occasional oily rag wipe-over, but there's been no hint of unsightly freckling after several days in a soggy wedge pack or saddlebag.
Whether you should tot up three spoke keys individually in your tool tally is debatable, but nevertheless 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm Allen keys, Mavic-specific M7 and two traditional spoke wrenches (3.2 and 3.5mm), chain tool, a bottle opener, flat blade and crosshead screwdrivers, two tyre levers, and a T25 Torx is pretty good going.
Sequential order is another plus. Being able to pick them out intuitively definitely saves time, whether you're nipping an Aheadset tight along a dark lane or just giving bikes once-overs in the garage before a big ride.
A lfetime warranty inspires further confidence, as does the precise fit of each bit – no fears of slipping and taking a chunk out of you or your bike when undoing a reluctant fastener.
I've used the T25 when tackling shoe cleats, mudguard bridge bolts and similar 4mm fasteners that are constantly blasted with gritty water, and all relented with moderate persuasion.
The chain tool is the familiar flip-out type, which is equally well made and user-friendly. Using the tool body's length provides additional torque, so splitting and rejoining more weathered examples isn't too challenging. I'm yet to go the 11-speed route, but 7, 8, 9 and 10-speed models were easily split, joined and stiff links sorted.
Beneath this sit the 'standard' spoke keys. These are nice to use and good enough to coax a wandering rim back into line.
> Buyer's Guide: The best multi-tools
All functions deserve their space on the body, but some are firmly in dire emergency territory. Namely, the two resin tyre levers that ride shotgun on the body, and the stubby 8mm bit.
Yes, I've been able to coax 28 and 32mm tyres on and off with only moderate effort, but tighter fitting 23 and 25mm rubber induced a cuss-fest and I was glad I never forgot my standard, full size composite models.
There's just enough length in the 8mm bit to perform a pedal swap, and in theory the same should be said for crank bolts. In practice, it will wind a loose crank tight enough to limp home, or to a friend's house/bike shop, butt proved particularly awkward to use on older Shimano LX and Alivio mountain bike patterns.
Overall, it's a well made and pretty comprehensive multi tool, if a little large for carrying around if you don't need all the bits. But taking your favourite tyre levers and a separate 8mm Allen key might save your riding companion's/wildlife's ears.
Comprehensive multi-tool for most situations, but bear in mind the short 8mm bit

Make and model: Pedros ICM Multi Tool
Size tested: 17 tools
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Pedro's says: "The right multi-tool can be the difference between finishing the most epic ride of your life and going for the longest walk of your life carrying a busted bike. Pedro's has drawn upon its experience making professional shop tools to make sure you finish that epic ride. Pedro's multi-tools feature tools made from heat-treated tool steel for strength, superior anti-corrosion finish for unmatched long-lasting performance, and handles made of lightweight but super tough composite material. The Pedro's ICM Multi-Tool is like having a tool box full of tools featuring every essential tool you need to repair your bike out on the trail and get home safely. The ICM Multi-Tool weighs 235 grams and has 17 tools including 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm hex wrenches, Mavic M7 spoke wrench and two traditional spoke wrenches (3.2 and 3.5mm), chain tool, a bottle opener, flat-blade and Phillips-head screwdrivers, two tire levers, and a T25 Torx, all backed by Pedro's lifetime warranty."
My thoughts are that one or two functions are firmly in emergency territory, but otherwise I'd agree.

Well made and feels more solid than composites might suggest.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Overall, the ICM is a comprehensive and generally pleasant-to-use tool that makes easy transition between road and mountain bike derivatives. I have some minor reservations about the tyre levers, which will get you out of an emergency, and the 8mm bit strikes me as very much an afterthought. Admittedly, 8mm crank bolts are relatively old school, but those owning a bike with square taper cranks might want to look for a model with a longer bit.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Comprehensive and well made.

When you go to the doctor, the nurse measures your blood pressure, temperature and collects other vital information. A good doctor will then take time to interview you in order to make a proper diagnosis. Once the doctor has diagnosed the problem, she can prescribe the right treatment to help solve it.
Diagnosing the energy health of your house follows a similar approach.
It all starts with a home energy assessment. A certified building energy analyst will visit your home and conduct a blower door test and use other tools like an infrared camera or an air leak detector (smoke pencil) to locate the gaps, cracks and leaks in your home. He will check your appliances and HVAC equipment for energy efficiency and evaluate the level of insulation in your walls and attic. He will also take the time to interview you to see what comfort and cost concerns you have. Next, he puts together a detailed report that shows you the problem areas in your home and prescribes specific steps you can take to solve those problems.

Acne Treatment in New Jersey
Patients in West Orange, Livingston, and Beyond Can Get Help for Skin Outbreaks and Scars
Suffering from acne? You're not alone. Acne is the most common skin disorder seen by dermatologists. Annoyingly persistent, it can be frustrating to treat and embarrassing to live with. But it doesn't have to be! Effective acne treatment at New Jersey's Advanced Dermatology & Skin Care is available. The earlier acne treatment is started, the lower the risk of lasting damage to your skin.
Drs. Deborah Spey, Kimberly Ruhl, and Rachael Hartman and the New Jersey team know that pimples can be difficult to deal with. Frequent flare-ups take a toll on the skin, potentially leading to permanent scarring. The bumps and marks of acne can also negatively impact self esteem, particularly in teenagers. Advanced Dermatology & Skin Care offers a range of acne treatment options to suit your personal situation, and each case is handled with compassion and thorough attention to detail to minimize long-term effects of acne while clearing it up quickly.
Don't suffer with acne! Patients in Livingston, West Orange, and beyond can call 973-731-9600 or email our acne treatment specialists in New Jersey to book a consultation today!
What Are the Different Types of Acne Outbreaks?
The most basic form of acne appears when a pore plugs and forms a whitehead or blackhead. Whiteheads are sealed off from the air, so the material inside the plugged pore is visible as a small, light-colored dot. If the pore is open to the air, the material inside turns black, creating a tiny, dark-colored dot. These frequently appear on the nose. Acne treatment in this case can be as simple as gently washing the area with water and a mild soap, though more options are available.
Papules are the next stage of acne severity, as blackheads and whiteheads become inflamed, leading to an immune response that sends white blood cells to the area and the development of red bumps on the skin. These are often very visible and can lead to embarrassment, especially if they appear before a big event or scheduled public appearance or photo shoot. Acne treatment can be effective at reducing their appearance if handled properly. Remember: Do not scratch or pick at these bumps yourself, as this can worsen the inflammation and lead to infection.
As the inflammation continues to grow, along with the white blood cells sent to fight the problem, the pressure can push some of the material trapped inside the pore out, forming a light-colored bump visible on the surface. This is known as a pustule. Obvious bumps like these are frequently referred to as pimples, and are often thought of as a problem dealt with solely by teenagers, though people of any age may deal with them. Acne treatment at home should continue to consist of gentle washing, though a member of the team at Advanced Dermatology & Skin Care can assess the severity of the outbreak and recommend a safe and effective acne treatment designed to prevent worsening symptoms and clear up the papules and pustules that have formed.
If an inflammation is left to grow, the most severe forms of acne can develop. Just as pustules expand upward and outward, cysts grow downward, expanding deeper into the skin as the plugged pore continues to swell. Acne treatment from a professional dermatologist is highly recommended for this type of acne, as cysts can be uncomfortable, and even painful, and have the potential to leave noticeable scars. A plugged pore may also ultimately succumb to collapse and form a tough nodule, similar to a cyst, but even harder and deeper in the skin. Scarring is incredibly common in these cases, so acne treatment should be handled by a trained and certified skin expert with acne experience.

How Do Acne Treatments Work?
Acne treatments work to reduce oil production, speed up skin cell turnover, unclog pores, and/or reduce inflammation in the oil glands, as well as fight acne-causing bacteria.
The type and severity of your acne will dictate the best acne treatment for you. A member of the Advanced Dermatology & Skincare team will assess your skin and acne while listening to your concerns, then make a recommended course of acne treatment tailored to your unique needs.
Mild acne: Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, found in over-the-counter acne treatments, are often highly effective for unblocking pores and combating bacteria. The type of acne you have will determine which one will be most successful. Inflammatory acne (red pimples) tends to respond to benzoyl peroxide. Comedonal acne (whiteheads and blackheads) is best treated with salicylic acid.
Moderate-to-severe acne: Oral antibiotics are used as acne treatment to manage moderate-to-severe acne, outbreaks that are resistant to topical therapy, and acne that covers large areas of the body. Often used in combination with topical medications, oral antibiotics can help reduce inflammation and lower the population of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), a bacterium commonly found on the skin.
Severe nodular cystic acne: Accutane (oral isotretinoin) remains the acne treatment of choice for severe recalcitrant acne, scarring acne, and stubborn acne that does not respond to topical and antibiotic therapies.
Hormonal acne: Adult females often experience acne lesions on their chins, jawlines, and neck. This type of acne responds well to hormonal therapies such as birth control pills and spironolactone.
What Can I Expect During My Acne Treatment in West Orange, NJ?
Many topical acne medications are drying and can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. In some cases, your skin may get worse before it gets better. Finding the most effective acne treatment for you may require some customization.
Throughout the acne treatment process, be sure to follow your dermatologist's instructions as you continue to care for your skin by keeping it clean and protected. Discuss sunscreen and other strategies for avoiding ultraviolet radiation exposure, as well as any activities that may impact your specific treatment.
Meet Our Physicians
As board-certified physicians, we take the time to meet your medical needs and concerns, to listen to you, and make sure you get the care you need.
At-Home Acne Treatment Tips
Of course prevention is the best medicine for acne. Following these at-home best practices can help thwart breakouts:
Do: Gently wash affected areas once or twice a day with a mild, non-drying soap.
Don't: Scrub your skin. Vigorous washing can irritate your skin and make acne worse.
Do: Wash pillowcases, sheets, and makeup brushes often. They absorb and store oil and bacteria and may reapply it to your skin.
Don't: Shampoo hair infrequently. Oily hair can exacerbate acne.
Do: Use oil-free cosmetics, toiletries, and sunscreens. Look for "non-comedogenic" products, which do not clog pores. Minimize leave-in hair care products such as mousse, gel, and pomades.
Don't: Unnecessarily dry the skin with astringents. Dry skin is not necessarily acne-free skin.
Do: Shave carefully with an electric razor or a sharp blade and shaving cream.
Don't: Shave unnecessarily. You run the risk of nicking blemishes.
Do: Seek treatment for acne that does not respond to over-the-counter medications.
Don't: Pop, squeeze, or pick at acne. It will lead to scars.
I Already Have Acne Scars. Is There Anything You Can Do to Remove Them?
Yes! Many acne sufferers will develop some degree of scarring, especially if their acne is moderate to severe. Because cysts and nodules develop deep in the skin, they have the greatest chance of leaving scars after they clear up with acne treatment.
Once your acne is controlled with a successful acne treatment, the appearance of acne scars can be improved with laser skin resurfacing, Laser Genesis treatments, or fillers. A customized treatment plan is your best option for treating acne scars, especially since different types of acne on different parts of the body can leave scars of varying sizes, shapes, and depths.
Fraxel® uses thousands of tiny columns of laser light to stimulate new collagen production and trigger healing in the skin, reducing the appearance of scars. Laser Genesis works in much the same way. IPL makes use of a different sort of light that also encourages collagen production, minimizing the visible redness of acne scars, and can also be used as an acne treatment.
Fillers, such as Juvéderm® and Restylane®, add volume where they are injected, and so can be used to even out skin that has depressions left behind from acne.
These options should be considered only after the problem of ongoing acne outbreaks has been resolved with successful acne treatment.
Note that the best way to control acne scars is to apply an effective acne treatment to prevent the pustules, cysts, and nodes from forming in the first place. If you are noticing that your acne is worsening from blackheads and whiteheads into something more pronounced, seeking out a dermatologist experienced in effective acne treatments can help, especially if the problem is addressed earlier rather than later.
Treatment for Acne-Like Skin Conditions
Acne can certainly be a problem for adults, but people older than 30 who begin develop red, pimple-like bumps on their face may be dealing with a different skin condition: rosacea. Though this chronic skin disorder has no cure, its acne-like symptoms can be treated to minimize their appearance.
A variety of rashes caused by allergies, skin irritants, or certain infections can also cause skin redness and bumps that resemble acne. Acne treatment will not necessarily work to restore clear skin caused by these triggers.
Anyone dealing with persistent facial redness and outbreaks of bumps that resist efforts to clear them up should visit a dermatologist who can determine the nature of the problem and recommend acne treatment, rosacea treatment, or other strategies to control the condition as necessary, depending on the cause.

text: Ukraine Parliament Hands Presidency to Tymoshenko Ally Parliament speaker gives MPs til Tuesday to form government; Yanukovych still missing By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Feb 23, 2014 5:44 AM CST 5 comments People raise their fists during a rally in Independence Square, the epicenter of the country's current unrest, in Kiev, Ukraine, Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014. (Efrem Lukatsky) View 9 more images (Newser) – The whereabouts and legitimacy of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych are still unclear today, after he left the capital and archrival Yulia Tymoshenko was freed from prison and returned to Kiev to address a massive, adoring crowd. Ukraine's newly emboldened legislature voted today to hand the president's powers to parliament speaker Oleksandr Turchinov, a Tymoshenko ally. Turchinov in turn informed MPs that they had until Tuesday to form a unity government, notes the BBC, telling them "this is a priority task." Parliament also voted to remove a string of government ministers, as well as confiscate the luxury estate of Yanukovych (the New York Times takes a look inside, which includes a golf course, private zoo, and restaurant inside a pirate ship). But Yanukovych has dismissed parliament decisions in recent days as illegal. A plane with Yanukovych onboard was denied permission to take off last night from Donetsk, a city in eastern Ukraine that is his base of support. A spokesman said this morning that even he does not know where Yanukovych is. The Kiev protest camp at the center of the anti-Yanukovych movement filled with more and more dedicated demonstrators this morning setting up new tents after a day that saw a stunning reversal of fortune in a political standoff that has left scores dead. "We need to catch and punish those with blood on their hands," said a 45-year-old engineer on Independence Square today. (Read more Ukraine stories.)

Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that belongs to a class of medications that are known as antidepressants. Fluoxetine contains fluoxetine hydrochloride. It can be taken in incremental doses of 10mg, 20mg, and 40mg.
How It Works
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that can be located in the brain. One of the purposes of serotonin is to improve the emotional state of a person. Therefore, when there is an increased amount of serotonin, individuals tend to feel happier or more satisfied. When this level of serotonin is reabsorbed, however, there is no longer an impact on the mood. As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, Fluoxetine limits the reabsorption of serotonin. Therefore, this happy feeling tends to linger for a longer time.
Fluoxetine is used to treat a variety of mental health disorders. This includes obsessive compulsive disorder, major disorder, panic disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PDD), and even eating disorders such as bulimia.
A treatment plan that includes Fluoxetine can only be commenced if you have been first evaluated by a doctor. The physician will then be able to create a strategy that will benefit you and your diagnosis properly. It is important to only take Fluoxetine in the amounts that have been deemed to be safe. There should be no alterations made to this dose unless it has been specified by a medical professional.
For children who have been diagnosed with either depression or obsessive compulsive disorders should be given between 10mg and 20mg a day. This is to be taken as a single quantity. It is quite common for the initial dose to begin at 10mg.
The quantities for major depressive disorder, OCD, PDD, and bulimia are often the same for adults. The starting amount begins at 10mg and is gradually raised to 20mg. This is to be taken just one time a day.
Contingent on the response to the dose, patients may be given amounts higher than 20mg. The amount should not exceed 60mg, unless recommended by a professional. If the amount is higher than 20mg, it is split into more than one dose.
Side Effects
There may be certain opposing symptoms that may appear when taking Fluoxetine. The ones that tend to be more apparent are:
Loose stools
Pain in the upper stomach
Inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for long
Physical weakness
Disinterest in sex
Loss of appetite
Unusual dreams
Breast sensitivity
Avoid the consumption of Fluoxetine if:
Allergic to Fluoxetine
Taking thioridazine or pimozide
Undergoing methylene blue injection
Have taken MAO inhibitors in the last two weeks
Prior to taking MAO inhibitors, you have to make sure that you have not ingested Fluoxetine for at least five weeks.
There may be an increase in suicidal thoughts and therefore, those taking Fluoxetine should be watched closely.
Inform a health care specialist if you have been prescribed any other remedies for mental health issues or antidepressants.
Tell a doctor if the following applies to you:
Cirrhosis of the liver
Seizure disorders
Kidney issues
ECT treatment
If you become pregnant while taking Fluoxetine, you should speak to a health specialist immediately. You should also know that Fluoxetine can pass through breast milk.

|ESPN on WEEI
WEEI is a sports radio station in Boston, Massachusetts, that broadcasts on 850 kHz from a transmitter in Needham, Massachusetts, and is owned by Entercom Communications. Studios are located in Boston's Brighton neighborhood. The station is mostly a simulcast of ESPN Radio; until October 4, 2012, the station aired a highly rated locally produced sports talk format, which is now heard on WEEI-FM (93.7 FM).[2] Originally established in 1924, in 1994 WEEI moved from 590 AM to 850 AM, replacing WHDH, which had operated since 1929.

WEEI's seven decades at 590 kHz
WEEI traces its roots to its original owner, Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston (hence the call letters). Edison placed the station on the air September 29, 1924.[1][3] The station broadcast on various frequencies over the next several years, settling on 590 kHz in 1927.[1] In 1926, WEEI became a charter member of the NBC Red Network[1] and remained an NBC Red affiliate until 1936, when the station was leased by CBS and became an affiliate of that network.[4] CBS bought WEEI outright from Boston Edison on August 31, 1942.[5] An FM sister station, WEEI-FM (103.3 FM, now WODS), went on the air in 1948.[6] Until 1960, WEEI, through CBS Radio, was the last Boston radio station to devote a large amount of its program schedule to "traditional" network radio programming of daytime soap operas, comedy shows, variety shows, and similar fare.
For the remainder of the 1960s, WEEI was New England's first talk radio station[6] and home of such hosts as Howard Nelson, Jim Westover and of Paul Benzaquin, one of the most popular radio talk show hosts in Boston history. In the 1960s, the daily WEEIdea feature presented cleaning and cooking tips from housewives.
By May 1972, WEEI had six full days of call-in talk programming. On weekdays, morning drive time from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. was hosted by newsman Len Lawrence (Leonard Libman), followed by Ellen Kimball from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Kimball was hired from WIOD in Miami, where she had replaced broadcaster Larry King after he was arrested on December 20, 1971. Ellen is believed to be one of the first women to host a daily, four-hour, call-in talk show, six days a week.[citation needed] Originally called Boston Forum with Ellen Kimball, the name was eventually changed to The Ellen Kimball Show. Later, newsman Ben Farnsworth took over the Saturday call-in segment from 10 am to 2 pm. Paul Benzaquin handled 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. weekdays.
Although its talk radio format was popular, the station went all-news in 1974, following the lead of several other CBS-owned stations.[6] At first, WEEI was not 24/7 all-news; the station's late-night schedule featured the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, an attempt to revive radio drama, as well as a local overnight talk show with Bruce Lee (no relation to the martial-arts actor), a holdover from the previous format. But by the end of the 1970s, WEEI was all-news around the clock.
On December 27, 1977, while engaged in traffic reporting, a Hughes 269B helicopter operated by WEEI lost power and crashed into an apartment building in Quincy while attempting an emergency landing, killing pilot Richard Banks and reporter Chip Whitmore. A fire developed in the building following the crash.[7]
WEEI was put up for sale in April 1983, after CBS reached a deal to acquire KRLD in Dallas–Fort Worth from Metromedia;[8] that September, a deal was reached to sell the station to Helen Broadcasting; the company was owned by the Valerio family, who also owned Papa Gino's.[9] Although Metromedia canceled the sale of KRLD after it was granted permission to own both the radio station and KNBN-TV in Dallas–Fort Worth, the sale of WEEI still went forward.[10] Helen Broadcasting continued the all-news format.[6]
The station was acquired by Boston Celtics Communications (a group that shared ownership with the Boston Celtics basketball team) on May 10, 1990; the Celtics also simultaneously purchased WFXT (channel 25) from Fox Television Stations.[11][12] The Celtics initially pledged to continue the all-news format, hiring a new morning anchor[13] and shifting the station to a 30-minute clock (it previously followed a one-hour clock);[14] however, the CBS Radio Network's decision to shift its Boston affiliation to WRKO effective September 3, 1990 (ending a 54-year link with WEEI) for reasons that included WRKO having a stronger news commitment,[15] which compelled WEEI to join the ABC Direction Network,[16] led to speculation that the station was shifting to an all-sports format.[13] Though this was played down by station officials,[13] WEEI, which had already carried Celtics broadcasts since 1987,[17] expanded its sports programming after the sale; WEEI became the flagship station of the Boston Bruins (replacing WPLM-FM) in 1990[18] (however, Celtics broadcasts were given priority, resulting in some Bruins broadcasts moving to WVBF or WMEX[19]), and a nightly sports talk show with Craig Mustard was launched on August 20, 1990.[20] WEEI also carried Sports Byline USA and CBS Radio Sports broadcasts not cleared by WRKO.[11] The all-news format continued in other dayparts until September 3, 1991, when WEEI became an all-sports station.[11][21][22]
Upon the change to all-sports, WEEI featured the Andy Moes show and Glenn (Ordway) and Janet (Prensky), a short-lived experiment in bringing a "Bickersons"-type format to sports radio. Also part of the roster was Boston sports talk pioneer Eddie Andelman.[23] WEEI also began to carry Boston College Eagles football in 1992, replacing WBZ.[24] However, the change was followed by a dramatic drop in its ratings;[25] additionally, the station struggled financially, at one point losing $80,000 a week, leading to rumors of a sale of WEEI.[25] Still, WEEI improved its morning ratings after it became one of the earliest affiliates of Imus in the Morning from WFAN in New York City on July 12, 1993.[26][27]
On March 16, 1994, the Boston Celtics reached a deal to sell WEEI to Back Bay Broadcasting;[28] shortly afterward, the rights to Celtics broadcasts passed to American Radio Systems (ARS), owner of WRKO and WHDH, effective with the 1994–95 season, while the Bruins signed a deal with WBZ to carry its broadcasts starting in 1995.[29] Sister station WFXT was sold back to Fox Television Stations soon afterward.
WHDH at 850 kHz
The original occupant of 850 kHz (and until 1941, 830 kilohertz), WHDH, had a long history.
1929–1946: Early years
WHDH was founded June 20, 1929 in Gloucester, Massachusetts by Ralph Matheson.[1] It was a daytime-only station broadcasting at 830 kilocycles (leaving the air at local sunset in Denver, about two hours after sunset in Boston, to protect the signal of KOA in the Colorado capital city). WHDH was Matheson's second station; he had started WEPS on November 26, 1926.[1] Much of WEPS' programming consisted of broadcasts to, for, or about fisherman, given Gloucester's status as a major port for the fishing industry. The WHDH license was issued in December 1928, a month after WEPS was forced to share time with WKBE in Webster on 1200 kilocycles;[1] WEPS was sold to Alfred Kleindienst, owner of its share-time partner (which became WORC in Auburn, near Worcester, a year earlier), in February 1930, with WEPS being moved to Auburn and consolidated with WORC on May 5.[4] Matheson kept WHDH, which moved its studios to Boston on November 6, 1930, though some programming had originated from Boston for some time beforehand, and the transmitter remained in Gloucester until a 1932 move to Saugus.[4] With the move, WHDH broadened its programming, but still included some reports for fishermen. In subsequent decades, WHDH would claim WEPS' history as its own.[30]
The 1941 North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement moved WHDH to 850 kilocycles, and allowed the station to broadcast on a full-time basis. WHDH was able to increase power to 5,000 watts and go full-time, but not without protests from KOA, one of the dominant class A clear channel stations on 850 AM. For two years, from 1943 until 1945, WHDH was the local affiliate of the Blue Network, the former "NBC Blue", replacing WBZ as Blue affiliate; WHDH ceded the affiliation to WCOP after the Blue Network also chose to affiliate with Lawrence's WLAW (the facilities of which were subsequently sold to WNAC).[5]
After 1946: Home of Bob and Ray, then Jess Cain
In 1946, shortly after World War II, the Boston Herald-Traveler newspaper purchased WHDH, by this time again an independent station.[30] In 1948, the station moved its transmitter site from Saugus to Needham, west of Boston, where the station would be able to increase power to 50,000 watts with a directional signal aimed east to protect KOA and other stations on 850. The station also expanded into FM broadcasting on March 31, 1948 with the sign-on of WHDH-FM (94.5 FM, now WJMN).[30]
While not first in Boston to adopt a popular music and disc jockey format with hourly newscasts (WORL was the first), a combination of a powerful signal, top-notch personalities like Ray Dorey, Fred B. Cole,[31] Bob Clayton, Norm Nathan, news anchor John Day, and a mid-morning women's show hosted by Christine Evans (also billing herself as Chris); along with live coverage of Boston Red Sox baseball, Boston Bruins hockey, and Boston Celtics basketball, made WHDH one of the most popular stations in the region in the post-World War II era. In the late 1950s, Jess Cain joined the station, first co-hosting the morning show with Dorey, then as solo host when Dorey moved over to television. Cain would remain at WHDH for 34 years. By the early 1960s, Hank Forbes and Alan Dary had joined Cain, Clayton, and Nathan on the WHDH staff.
In the 1950s and 1960s, WHDH, along with WBZ, had among the strongest lineup of personality disc jockeys in Boston radio history. While the two stations for the most part programmed different kinds of music, both had very talented air personalities who were "household names" in the Boston area.
Perhaps the station's best-known on-air personalities outside of Boston were the legendary comedy team of Bob and Ray, who did a comedy-and-records show at WHDH before they departed for national fame in New York City. The station employed a popular MOR (what today would be called "adult standards") music format, which would also include soft rock songs by the end of the 1960s. The station also had specialty shows playing jazz and big band music.
"The Voice of Sports"
While WHDH was never "all sports", it was easily Boston's top sports station during the 1950s through the end of the 1960s. It referred to itself "The Voice of Sports", a sub-branding of the station's overall imaging as the Voice of the City.
For 30 consecutive years (1946-75), WHDH was the flagship station of the Boston Red Sox, featuring play-by-play announcers such as Jim Britt, Ford C. Frick Award-winning Curt Gowdy, Ken Coleman and Ned Martin. From 1946 through 1949, it also broadcast the Boston Braves, the city's National League baseball club (the Red Sox and Braves then only broadcast home games, thus the teams shared the same announcers and did not have schedule conflicts). After the Braves left WHDH for WNAC (now WRKO) in 1950, WHDH began broadcasting all Red Sox games, home and away.
The station also aired one of the first sports-oriented talk programs, although without telephone calls. "The Voice of Sports" was a Saturday night feature for years, usually hosted by Don Gillis and featuring sports reporters from the Herald-Traveler. It was a panel discussion program featuring lively debate about sports for an hour and represented the sum total of sports talk on Boston radio in that era. The title was also used for a sports talk program when telephone sports talk began to take hold in the early 70s. It was an afternoon telephone sports talk hosted by the legendary Leo Egan which ended after the station was sold to John Blair Broadcasting.
During the winter months, WHDH and WHDH-FM were the flagship stations of the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association and the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League, employing such legendary announcers as Johnny Most, Fred Cusick and Bob Wilson. For a single season, Jim Laing was the announcer for Bruins games and brought candor to the job. He was fired for being too frank about a team that finished sixth in a six team league. In the mid- and late 1960s, when both the Bruins and Celtics played, one of the teams (usually the one playing at home) was heard on AM; while the other (usually the team playing on the road) was heard on FM. WHDH also was the radio home of Harvard University football in the autumn, including 1968, the year of Harvard's famous 29-29 "win" against arch-rival Yale, considered one of the greatest college-football games ever played.
In addition, the original WHDH-TV (channel 5), which took to the air November 26, 1957,[30] was the flagship station of the Red Sox television network from 1958 through 1971.
Impact from loss of television license
WHDH began to lose its valuable properties in 1969, when the Bruins and Celtics were wooed away by WBZ. Soon afterward, the Boston Herald-Traveler Corporation's license to operate channel 5 was revoked by the Federal Communications Commission, and was given to one of the groups of businessmen that challenged its license (Boston Broadcasters, Incorporated); on March 19, 1972, channel 5 became WCVB-TV (Metromedia bought that station in 1982 and Fox Television Stations bought Metromedia in 1986, of at which time WCVB was spun off to the Hearst Corporation). Stung by the loss of its highly profitable television station, the Herald-Traveler was put on the market, and acquired by the Hearst Corporation in June 1972; the Boston Herald-Traveler Corporation, left with just the radio stations, then changed its name to WHDH Corporation.[32] Less than two years later, WHDH and its FM sister station (by this time called WCOZ) were sold to Blair Radio, a national radio station advertising representative; the deal marked Blair's entry into station ownership.[33] WHDH then lost the Red Sox after the classic 1975 World Series; it did not carry their games again until 1983–85. The station's last major sports property was the New England Patriots during the late 1980s.
Blair modernized the WHDH format, bringing it from the adult standards-oriented MOR sound to more of an adult contemporary approach. Veteran disk jockeys were replaced by personalities with a top 40 background, such as former WRKO personality Tom Kennedy (the DJ, not the game-show host), Bob Raleigh from WPGC in Washington (owned by Richmond Bros., owners of Boston's WMEX), Sean Casey, who was formerly with WOR-FM in New York and Bill Silver, the well known voice of per inquiry advertisements who put the phrase "but wait there's more" into the national lexicon. The music was carefully researched and became more contemporary to appeal to an adult demographic but without a rock and roll style presentation; for all intents and purposes, WHDH played top 40 without any hard rock and with more non-current product. By the early 1980s, WHDH began to focus even less on music and more on personality, while playing more music and having less talk than rival WBZ. Air talent then consisted of people such as Dave Supple, Tom Kennedy, Jim Sands (who did a popular Saturday-night oldies show), and Tom Doyle (who by the early 1980s was Cain's co-host).
By the mid-1980s, WHDH was moving toward more of a talk format and on August 22, 1988, dropped music abruptly; although the station had been playing more music than WBZ, that station would gradually phase out music over the next several years.[34] During its talk radio days, programs hosted by Larry Glick (who moved from WBZ in 1987), Avi Nelson, David Brudnoy (who would later go to WRKO, and finally, to WBZ), among others, were featured. During this time, Blair, following a takeover by Reliance Capital Group, chose to sell its English-language broadcast stations to focus on the Spanish-language Telemundo television network;[35] in March 1987, it reached a deal to sell its entire radio group to Sconnix Broadcasting.[36] The deal separated WHDH from its longtime FM sister station (which had become WZOU), as Sconnix chose to spin off WZOU and retain its existing FM station in the Boston market, WBOS. In 1988, WHDH became an affiliate of the NBC Radio Network.
David Mugar era
On August 7, 1989, WHDH was sold to local businessman David G. Mugar, whose New England Television Corporation (NETV) owned CBS affiliate WNEV-TV (channel 7). (Sconnix sold WBOS a year earlier.) On March 12, 1990, WNEV's call letters became WHDH-TV to correspond with WHDH radio. Mugar was hoping to bring back a main competitor to WBZ radio and television, with a renewed emphasis on a news and straight talk format with some political programming. Some sports programs remained, but news and talk were main priorities. Among the personalities to arrive in the early 1990s were mostly talents from within NETV, including television newscaster Ted O'Brien. WHDH also became the Boston affiliate for The Rush Limbaugh Show.[30] The station also moved into channel 7's studios at Bulfinch Place (near Government Center) in downtown Boston.[30] However, by 1992, NETV was already in trouble due to increasing debt incurred by the channel 7 acquisition as well as declining advertising revenues, leading to speculation of a sale of WHDH radio;[37] on December 1, the station was sold to Atlantic Radio, putting it under the same ownership as rival talk station WRKO.[38] (Mugar would sell WHDH-TV to Sunbeam Television in 1993.)
Atlantic Radio made an attempt to distinguish WHDH and WRKO in 1993 by relaunching WHDH as an "information station", with the feature-oriented Boston This Morning premiering in the morning drive slot on March 8;[39] nine months later, on December 16, it was replaced with News All Morning, a news block competing against WBZ.[40] Conversely, the station began to air a talk show hosted by Boston Herald columnist and one-time WRKO midday host Howie Carr on October 4, 1993, airing in afternoon drive against WRKO's Jerry Williams.[41][42] During this time, Atlantic transferred hourly CBS Radio Network newscasts from WRKO to WHDH;[39] additionally, Atlantic merged with two other radio groups, Stoner Broadcasting Systems and Multi Market Communications, on November 1 to form American Radio Systems.[43][44]
American Radio Systems announced on August 15, 1994 that it would purchase the programming and call letters of WEEI from Back Bay Broadcasting effective August 29, 1994; as a result, WHDH would vacate the Boston radio airwaves entirely, with WEEI taking its place at 850 AM.[45] ARS concurrently moved the Rush Limbaugh and Howie Carr shows to WRKO.[45] WHDH's final broadcast, on August 28, 1994, concluded at midnight with "Taps" and the sound of a flushing toilet; these were played by a disgruntled board operator who was laid off in the transition, and subsequently led to a formal apology from ARS.[30][46] The demise of WHDH marked the end of a heritage radio station in Boston, but had its void filled by the eventual success of WEEI on 850 AM.
Sportsradio 850 WEEI
Following Back Bay Broadcasting's sale of the call letters and all-sports programming of WEEI to ARS and the move to the 850 kHz frequency that was previously home to WHDH, WEEI's former home on AM 590 briefly simulcast with AM 850 for a week before relaunching as business news station WBNW (which in turn would later move to 1120, as 590 came into use by WEZE). With the move to 850, WEEI retained Boston Celtics broadcasts, and also added BC basketball; it also ceded the final year of its Bruins contract to the new WBNW.[45] WEEI 850 also inherited WHDH's CBS Radio Network affiliation until early 1995, when it moved to WBZ. The move to the 850 frequency allowed WEEI to broadcast at 50,000 watts, as opposed to 5,000 watts on 590.[47] ARS also moved Red Sox broadcasts to WEEI from WRKO starting in 1995, marking their return to the 850 kHz frequency.[48]
Concurrent with the move to 850, WEEI ceased an affiliation with ESPN Radio;[49] however, it returned to the network on September 11, 1995 to carry The Fabulous Sports Babe (in middays) in a schedule shuffle that also saw the merger of the Dale Arnold and Eddie Andelman shows into The A-Team and the launch of The Big Show.[50] WEEI also added "Patriots Monday", featuring weekly appearances from New England Patriots players and coaches, in 1995; it moved to rival WNRB/WWZN in 1999,[51] but returned to WEEI in 2002,[52] and was joined by the similar "Patriots Friday" (formerly aired on WAMG) in 2008. In March 1995, the station ceased carrying Sports Byline USA and One-on-One Sports in the overnight hours in favor of the Sports Fan Radio Network. WEEI dropped The Fabulous Sports Babe after the October 3, 1997 broadcast, leading to the launch of Dennis and Callahan on October 6.[53] Dennis and Callahan became the station's morning show on September 7, 1999,[54] after the station dropped Imus in the Morning in August due to declining ratings.[55]
In 1998, due to the acquisition of American Radio Systems by CBS Radio, WEEI would return to CBS hands. However, as a result of the merger the combined company was forced to sell several of its Boston stations. In late 1998, Entercom announced plans to acquire WEEI, along with WAAF, WRKO, WWTM (now WVEI) and WEGQ (now WEEI-FM), from CBS for $140 million.[56]
In April 2005, WEEI began streaming its broadcasts live online by way of a free membership at its official website; a previous stream was offered from 1997 until 2002. The exception is for Red Sox and Celtics games, as these are streamed only through the team and league websites as part of subscription packages.[57] Around the same time, the station again lost ESPN Radio programming when the affiliation was acquired by WAMG and WLLH;[58] the station then expanded an affiliation with Fox Sports Radio that began in 2002.
WEEI was awarded its first Marconi Award in September 2006 for sports station of the year. WEEI was also named large market station of the year.[59]
The station had an ongoing feud with The Boston Globe. In 1999, the Globe's executive sports editor, Don Skwar, banned the newspaper's sports writers from appearing on the station's afternoon The Big Show after columnist Ron Borges used a racial slur while on the air in reference to New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu. Two weeks later, the ban was extended to WEEI's Dennis and Callahan morning show. WEEI retaliated by banning Globe staffers from all its shows. Nevertheless, WEEI host Michael Holley is a former Globe columnist.[60] The ban came to an end on August 4, 2009, when Bob Ryan appeared on The Big Show, with host Glenn Ordway stating that "we have all come to our senses."[61]
ESPN on WEEI
In September 2009, there was speculation that WEEI could move to one of Entercom's properties on the FM dial (such as the 93.7 FM facility then occupied by WMKK), with the AM 850 signal switching to ESPN Radio (which was being dropped by WAMG).[62] Entercom did announce on October 7, 2009 that starting on November 2, 2009, WEEI would once again carry the ESPN Radio affiliation (though most programming would remain local). WEEI began to carry ESPN Radio's overnight programming, including All Night with Jason Smith from 1 to 5 a.m. and some weekend programming.[63] In addition, WEEI began to simulcast on 93.7 FM on September 12, 2011.[64]
On October 4, 2012, WEEI and WEEI-FM split the simulcast; the existing local programming and sports broadcasts remain on WEEI-FM, while AM 850 aired a redirection loop for one day before becoming a full ESPN Radio affiliate on October 5, 2012.[2]
WEEI is mostly a simulcast of the national ESPN Radio schedule, including Mike and Mike in the Morning, and SVP & Russillo.[2] However, the station has indicated that it may also air some locally produced weekend long-form specialty programs that do not necessarily fit on WEEI-FM.[65] WEEI also aired Boston Celtics games that conflicted with Boston Red Sox games on WEEI-FM through the 2012–2013 season; if the conflict involved a Celtics playoff game, the Celtics aired on WEEI-FM and the Red Sox game was on WEEI.

Lots of interesting writing this weekend, which I didn't get to notice until today.
John Stossel takes on populist economic myths, and name-drops Don Bourdreaux on Free Trade.
On a similar note, Ezra Klein nails another fallacy, although I disagree with his pessimism.
Most lobbying is pro-business, in the sense that it promotes the interests of existing businesses; not pro-market, in the sense of fostering free and open competition.
Great interview with former Dead Kennedys front-man and professional crazy person Jello Biafra. He's very anti-Obama-supporters, and calls for a more insurrectionist/populist leftist movement. His newest album is titled "The Audacity of Hype", a slam on the Obama-as-messiah hysteria that gripped the left during the election cycle. I agree with many of the problems he cites, but disagree with his 'solutions'. Fascinating, in a 'scientists discovering a new life form' kind of way. Money quote:
Well, let's connect [the title] up with the last song on the album, "I Won't Give Up," which is dealing with the aftermath of people realizing, you know, when they get that feeling like what Johnny Rotten said at the last Sex Pistols show, "Did you ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" Keep in mind the Obama campaign won all kinds of advertising awards for marketing hope and change and for that "O" logo. It's the most brilliant piece of propaganda art I've seen since the swastika.
Will Wilkinson destroys both the "Earth Hour" and "Human Achievement Hour" conceits. Nifty animated graph correlating CO2 emissions (a proxy for economic growth) and life expectancy is excellent, especially when you consider new evidence that air quality in the U.S. is improving. Typically, the EPA and the media are over-emphasizing the influence of government and under-selling 'voluntary actions' that led to this result, but still, results are results.
We Love DC has great shots from the beautiful spring weekend in DC, including the coolest kite I've ever seen.

Following Kogalo's 1-0 win over arch rivals AFC Leopards and League Leaders Ulinzi's shock 0-1 defeat to Western Stima, only 3 points seperate the league leaders from the runners up.
Still it will be a tall order for Kogalo. Not only do they have to win all 3 remaining games and hope that Ulinzi lose one, but they would have to score 4 more goals than Ulinzi over the last 3 games. The latter is highly unlikely given the recent form that saw them drop points at Karturi sports amongst others.
Still it has been a succesful season for Kogalo both on and off the field. The fans have returned in droves and support is at fever pitch. On the field, Kogalo have given fans the kind of hope that has been absent since 1997.
The fans have acted as the crucial 12th man throughout the season and will be sure to appear in full force during the last 3 games.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) concerns millions of men around the world. In the United States alone,
Fortunately, over-the-counter (OTC) treatments can help with this condition.
Many treatment options are available for ED management, including:
- oral medications
- injectable or suppository drugs
- medical devices
- penile implants
- surgery
Three prescription medications listed as effective by the Mayo Clinic are:
- sildenafil (Viagra)
- tadalafil (Cialis)
- vardenafil (Levitra and Staxyn)
According to the Mayo Clinic, four herbal remedies have shown positive results in clinical studies:
Found naturally in some soy products and yams, dihydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has shown safe and positive results in low doses. Notably, DHEA is also used to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and can be used to help build muscular strength. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) site says DHEA is "possibly effective" for treating ED.
In addition to possibly helping ED in men, DHEA can help increase low libido in women. However, be wary of products that advertise that they contain "natural" DHEA. The human body can't naturally produce DHEA from consuming sources that contain it, so any claim that a product can provide the body with "natural" DHEA is false.
L-arginine might treat ED by improving blood flow to the penis. However, it can also cause mild cramping and nausea.
Experiments that support the success of L-arginine as an ED treatment often combine L-arginine with other common ED drugs like yohimbine and glutamate. As a result, the true effectiveness of L-arginine as a treatment for ED is not very well understood. L-arginine has been proven successful for testing hormone levels and for treating individuals with metabolic alkalosis. However, more research needs to be done on its ability to treat ED before it can be approved by the FDA for ED treatment.
Limited research has been conducted on ginseng's ability to treat ED symptoms. However, the Mayo Clinic notes that ginseng has shown some positive results in human studies, appearing "generally safe" when used in the short term.
The NIH says that yohimbe (also known by the name of its most active ingredient, yohimbine) is "possibly effective" for ED, but the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine states that it is unknown whether yohimbe helps ED. Yohimbe has been linked with a number of side effects, including high blood pressure and increased heart rate.
Because these are supplements and not prescription drugs, the FDA warns that they haven't been proven to be completely safe or effective. Furthermore, the amount of active ingredients in products containing these supplements may not be consistent.
According to the Mayo Clinic, some herbs effective in treating animal ED haven't been tested on humans. For example, Epimedium has caused improved sexual performance in animals, but hasn't yet been tested on human subjects.
It's important to note that OTC medicines for ED have often sparked controversy in the medical community. The
Hidden Ingredients
Some OTC treatments for ED may be effective, but the FDA warns that they may not be safe. Some dietary supplements sold online contain ingredients not listed on the label, and these ingredients could be dangerous for some people who ingest them.
Potentially Harmful Side Effects
The unlisted ingredients may also cause harmful side effects in some users. These OTC treatments can interact with other drugs taken for ED, which could make the supplements unsafe. Ingredients in these OTC treatments can also have unsafe interactions with drugs taken for other conditions, too. Using an OTC that contains sildenafil at the same time as a drug that contains nitrates, such as drugs for diabetes or heart disease, can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
ED treatments like sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafi are often also used to treat pulmonary hypertension. Research shows that combining ED treatments containing these medications with nitrates or alpha-blockers can cause problems.
Talk to your doctor before trying an OTC treatment for ED, and always be sure that an herbal or dietary supplement has been approved or at least tested by a trusted agency like the FDA or NIH. Some treatment options may help resolve ED issues, but without research or medical consultation, you may not find a successful treatment for ED issues.

Surface Adsorbed Molecules
The guided modes of sub-wavelength-diameter optical nanofibres exhibit a pronounced evanescent field. The absorption of light by particles covering the nanofibre surface is therefore readily detected via the fibre transmission. We have shown that the resulting absorption for a given surface coverage can be orders of magnitude higher than that for conventional surface spectroscopy. As a demonstration, we carried out measurements on sub-monolayers of 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) molecules at ambient conditions, revealing the agglomeration dynamics on a second to minutes timescale. PTCDA thin films are excellent indicators for the sensitivity because their spectral properties highly depend on the detailed arrangement of the molecules on the surface.
The experiments were carried out with a simple experimental setup, see Fig. 1. A tapered fibre with a 500-nm diameter waist of 3 mm length was used in a conventional absorption spectrometer configuration with a tungsten white light source and a commercial CCD spectrograph. The molecules were deposited on the fibre waist by placing a heated crucible with PTCDA crystals below the fibre.
Figure 1: Schematic experimental setup for surface absorption spectroscopy of PTCDA molecules adsorbed on an optical nanofibre.
The findings of this work are of relevance for a large variety of fields ranging from sensorial applications in industry, environmental studies, and bio-technology to fundamental research concerning thin film growth as well as the controlled interaction of light and matter at the ultimate, microscopic scale.
Recently, we have set up a new experimental apparatus in order to deposit molecules onto the nanofibre under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. This allows us to carry out spectroscopy on a much larger variety of molecules including those not stable when sublimated at ambient conditions. Secondly, we have full control on the flux of molecules impinging onto the fibre. And finally, in vacuum, we can desorb pollutants (water etc.) from the fibre and work with a much better defined surface.
Furthermore, we will explore the potential of our method for single molecule detection, manipulation, and functionalisation. For this purpose, we will deposit suitable chosen molecules on the fibre in a cryogenic UHV-environment. The molecules will thermalise with the fibre surface and will thus be in their electronic and vibrational ground state. Estimations based upon the results in promise a detectable effect (of order percent) on the transmission of the guided fibre mode from a single molecule. The dispersive effect of single molecules on the fibre mode should be detectable as well. An important goal will then be to store and to manipulate (classical) information in suitably chosen conformation states of the molecules.

Le Freak, C'est Chic!
When I think of effortlessly chic fashion. I think of the French. There is something so incredibly feminine and crisp about French style. Nothing is overdone, and it all looks and feels so fresh, uncomplicated and most importantly - fun. With women like Julia Sarr Jamois, Jane Birkin and Audrey Tautou as my French style-spiration, i've been experimenting with simplifying my style, and focusing on comfort, neatness and splashes of colour here and there.
With the weather going from hailstones to blue sunny skies within the hour, my Spring/Summer wardrobe is quite the mishmash of textures, shapes and colours, but my uniform as of late has been girlfriend fit jeans, a baggy tee, a duster coat or faux leather jacket and some trainers or clogs, like this pair of bright red ones that I bought from fellow clog enthusiast Kristabel.
