Miss out on your chance to play Flappy Bird before it disappeared earlier this year? If so, you'll soon get another chance to see what all of the craziness was about, because the creator of the game says that it will return later this year.
Dong Nguyen, developer of Flappy Bird, has confirmed to CNBC that the game will relaunch in August. Nguyen also revealed a couple of details about the new version of the game, saying that it will include multiplayer and will be "less addictive" than the original version.
Flappy Bird swept the mobile world by storm earlier this year when Android and iOS users became obsessed with navigating the game's one-eyed bird between several green pipes. Nguyen eventually pulled the game from both the Play Store and the App Store, saying that it had become too addictive and had "[ruined] his simple life."
Now it appears that Nguyen has found a way to relaunch the game while making it less addictive and hopefully preserving his sanity as well. Exactly how he plans to make it less addictive is still a mystery, but hey, at least those of you that missed out on the game the first time around will be able to get a taste of what the hype was all about later this year.
How many of you have played Flappy Bird? Are you looking forward to the app's return later this year?

A woman who works for a Sport & Health club in Gaithersburg, MD, was sexually assaulted and robbed last week when she left the club shortly after midnight.
The club had closed at 11 p.m., and other staff members were still in the club at the time of the attack, The Gazette of Montgomery County, MD, reported.
The manager of the Lakeforest Sport & Health club told the newspaper last week that the woman was OK and recovering at home.
A spokesperson for Sport & Health, McLean, VA, said the company had no comment on the case and referred questions to the Montgomery County Police Department, which said the investigation is active and that the attacker has not been identified or located. Police were checking footage from security cameras outside the club for clues.

The ITU World Telecommunication Policy Forum (WTPF) was
established by Resolution 2 of the Plenipotentiary Conference (Kyoto, 1994). Its purpose
is to provide a forum where ITU Member States and Sector Members can discuss and exchange
views and information on emerging telecommunication policy and regulatory matters arising
from the changing telecommunication environment. Two years
after that decision, the first WTPF was held on the subject of Global
Mobile Personal Communications by Satellite (GMPCS). The second WTPF
held in 1998, on Trade in Telecommunication Services, and most recently,
the third was held in 2001, on Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony.
Although the WTPF shall not produce
prescriptive regulatory outcomes or outputs with binding force, it shall prepare reports
and, where appropriate, opinions for consideration by Members and relevant ITU meetings.
Following the decision by the
Marrakesh Plenipotentiary 2002, there is no funding available for WTPF in
the period from 2004-07.
In its 2000 session, the ITU
Council, decided to convene the third World
Telecommunication Policy Forum (WTPF) in Geneva, from 7-9
March 2001 on the theme of Internet Protocol (IP)
Telephony. In conjunction with the WTPF '01, a
special day-long Information
Session on IP Telephony was held on 6th March.
WTPF '98: Trade in
Telecommunication Services
The WTPF '98 theme trade
in telecommunications concerned the application, to the
telecommunication sector, trade principles including non-discriminatory
market access, fair and effective competition, and transparency in
establishing rates and regulations.
This second ITU World Telecommunication Policy Forum (WTPF) invited the
Director of TSB, in consultation with the Chairman of Study Group 3, to
establish a Focus Group as described in Resolution 23 of WTSC-96 in order
to accelerate the work of Study Group 3 on accounting
rate reform. The objective of the Focus Group was to propose
"transitional arrangements towards cost-orientation beyond 1998,
including ranges of indicative target rates".
WTPF '96: Global Mobile Personal
Communications by Satellite
The ITU's first World Telecommunication Policy Forum considered a
common set of policy and regulatory issues raised by the following kinds
of satellite systems:

New! Yahoo! CEO! Mayer! awarded! mucho! mazuma!
Near-$60m compensation package for ex-Googler and current mommy-to-be
Yahoo!'s new CEO Marissa Mayer will be handsomely rewarded for taking the reins at that troubled company – she's been granted an annual base salary of $1m, and can earn up to another $2m in bonus money during her first year.
But wait. There's more.
According to an SEC filing made available on Thursday, Mayer will also receive $6m in restricted stock units vesting over three years, and another $6m in stock options vesting over two and a half years.
And we're not done yet.
In addition, Mayer will receive a $30m "retention award": $15m in restricted stock units granted next Thursday and vested over five years, plus an additional $15m in performance-based stock options. That latter load is expected to be granted this November, and is subject to performance-based vesting requirements over the next four and a half years.
Surely that's enough, right? Nope.
There's also $14m in restricted stock units to "partially compensate Ms. Mayer for forfeiture of compensation from her previous employer." Those buckets-o-bucks will vest at the rate of $4m in 2012, $7m in 2013, and $3m in 2014.
It seems hardly worth it to mention that Mayer will also be entitled to up to $25,000 for "reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with entering into the Agreement," plus $50,000 per year for "security expenses".
Few of us will ever see that many zeros in our pay packages – but it does make us feel a wee bit better to note that Mayer will receive a mere 20 days of vacation per year. Here at The Reg, we ink-stained wretches enjoy a full 25 days.
Eat your heart out, Marissa. ®

Afaf Ibrahim Fanous walks through her brother's former home, pointing out the fire-blackened walls, charred doorways, and gaping holes in the bathroom where the fixtures used to be.
The thick dust and cobwebs that have settled on the ruined house since last year don't hide the signs of the fire and looting that took place during clashes between Muslims and Christians in this small village in the rural Nile valley. As Ms. Fanous reaches a balcony on the third floor, overlooking another burned house, this one with a cross on the outside walls, she begins to weep – but not over the ruined house.
Police arrested and tried 20 people – 12 Christians and eight Muslims – for their involvement in the clashes, during which Muslim crowds attacked and burned dozens of Christian homes and shops and Christians fired guns from their rooftops. One of the those arrested for the violence, which killed two people, was Fanous's brother.
All Christians on trial, including her brother, were sentenced to life in prison, while all Muslim defendants were acquitted.
To Fanous, it felt like another, unbearable, injustice added to the initial attack. "All the attackers are free; they weren't punished. But the people who tried to defend their homes are all in prison," she says.
It has been a difficult 18 months for Egyptian Christians. During the period between former President Hosni Mubarak's ouster and the election of a civilian president, in which Egypt was under military rule, there were at least 12 incidents of serious sectarian violence, often involving Christian homes or churches being attacked and burned. On New Year's Eve, 2011, a bomb ripped through a church in Alexandria, killing nearly two dozen people. In October, Army soldiers and unidentified civilians attacked a mostly Christian protest in Cairo, killing 27 people.
Adding to their difficulties, the pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church, the largest in Egypt, passed away earlier this year.
Then came the election of Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Many Christians considered the election of an Islamist president the worst possible outcome of the vote. They fear Morsi will make it harder to build new churches and practice their faith, despite his promises to treat Christians as equal citizens.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced concerns about respect for religious freedom in a speech yesterday after the State Department released its annual International Religious Freedom Report for 2011. She said Egyptian authorities have failed to consistently prosecute those who commit sectarian violence, which sends a message that "there's not going to be any consequences." The report covered 2011, before Morsi took office.
"We are a little bit afraid of the future," says Yunan Khalil, the priest of the Virgin Mary Catholic church in Abu Qurqas. "The Muslim Brotherhood is not clear. They say something, but do the other."
Morsi's history raises eyebrows
The difficulties are not new. For decades, Christians in Egypt have faced incredible obstacles getting government permission to build or renovate churches, while mosques are relatively easily constructed. Coptic history is virtually ignored in schools. There are few Christians in top government positions. Under Mubarak, the Coptic community increasingly withdrew from participating in political life, and it came to rely on the Coptic pope – who then passed away – as an intercessor with the government.
In 2010, the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights published a report noting the rise of sectarian violence in the past two years. Mubarak's fall from power in February 2011 was followed by a rash of attacks on churches that startled the community. Some blamed it on extremists who felt empowered to take advantage of the security vacuum.
Since his election, Morsi hasn't done what Christians feared, although his apparent appointment of a Salafi, or ultraconservative Islamist, as head of the ministry that oversees mosques, has caused worry. "Morsi hasn't done anything yet – nice or not," says Khalil.
Yet many are wary of him. Before becoming president, he was a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, a large, hierarchical organization that proselytizes, does social work, and encourages a greater role for Islam in society. Morsi led the committee that drafted a detailed political platform for the group in 2007. The document said Christians and women should not serve as Egypt's president or prime minister. That position was not in Morsi's platform when he ran for president, but he relied heavily on religious rhetoric during the first phase of the presidential election and promised to implement sharia, or Islamic law.
Morsi is a 'president for Islamic people only'
The Minya governorate, where Abu Qurqas is located, has a large Christian population and has experienced its own share of sectarian problems over the last year and a half. The capital city of Minya sits less than four hours by train south of Cairo along the Nile. Abu Qurqas is half an hour from the city, past bougainvillea-lined roads that run along a canal feeding lush agricultural fields.
In both towns, Christian residents called the court ruling in the Abu Qurqas case unjust.
The case was tried in a state security court, an exceptional court system based on Egypt's now-expired emergency law that routinely violates due process, according to rights groups. Verdicts in such courts cannot be appealed, but must be ratified by the executive. The verdict in this case has not yet been ratified. Often the attackers in sectarian violence are never brought to justice, deepening the sense of discrimination and alienation in the Christian community.
"It is not a fair judgment," says Ragai Sami Nagi, owner of a four-table restaurant in Minya. He accuses Egypt's judiciary of being under the sway of the Muslim Brotherhood, and attributes the result to that. Under a Muslim Brotherhood president, "there will be no justice," he says.
Nady Adel Naguib, another Minya resident, puts it more bluntly. "The Coptic people now don't have a president," he says. "Morsi is a president for Islamic people only."
Fear is the wrong response
Some fear Morsi will impose sharia, restrict the rights of Christians, and make them feel even more like second-class citizens in their own country. Others fear his election will embolden extremists or religious conservatives who don't have ties to Morsi but will try independently to impose their beliefs on others.
But others say fear is the wrong response. "I know many Christians who are scared. But if they trust God, they don't have to be afraid," says taxi driver Youssef Kamal. He adds, "Anyway, Morsi hasn't done anything yet."
Even if Morsi did want to make the radical changes Christians fear, he faces many hurdles. He is locked in a power struggle with the military and Egypt's high courts, both of which view Islamists with hostility and have moved to restrict Morsi's power.
Fears that Egypt would become another Saudi Arabia overnight are unfounded, says Karima Kamal, a journalist who has written several books on Coptic issues in Egypt. "You can see that it's not even easy to choose a prime minister, and it's not easy to choose [government] ministers, so of course it's not easy to turn everything upside down in Egypt," she says, referring to Morsi's difficulty appointing a cabinet.
Ms. Kamal, like Khalil, the priest in Abu Qurqas, says Christians might well focus on what they have in common with many Muslims in Egypt, rather than isolating themselves in fear.
"Of course Copts are the ones who are most afraid, but any ordinary Muslim has his fears, his worries, doesn't feel at ease these days and is waiting to see what's going to happen," she says.

plb Is it true that MacDonald's serves them in Maine?
mjambro Unfortunately, I don't recall the name of the place, but it was before & on the opposite side of the street from the Tugboat Inn - about a block east - with pine seats / decor, facing the bay from across the street (southwest of the library).
mjambro Never had a bad lobster roll until last week at the Sea Basket in Wiscasset, ME. It was served on a crusty roll - similar to a Portuguese roll. How can anyone serve a lobster roll on anything by a buttered/toasted New England roll?
Michael Hoffman I wouldn't pay two cents for it. Lobster salad on a bun?
buffetbuster How about this unusual version of the lobster roll I was served at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough just a few days ago?
kaszeta While not quite Maine, I had a most excellent lobster roll from Latitudes at Wentworth-by-the-Sea in New Castle, NH two weekends ago. Perfect roll, bountiful meat, not too much mayo, and the sides were actually decent as well: It was somewhat pricey ($19), but considering that it had at least 50% more meat than most of the $13-$14 rolls I see around here, and was better quality, I was happy.

It Took A While, But Jack Tomczak Got The Truck Of His Dreams
Although Jack Tomczak says he can't claim to be an old-time hot rodder, things with wheels have been a part of his life since going to work in 1946. He was a Pontiac field rep and crewed for a NASCAR Winston West team, but after dealing with customer complaints all day, satisfying commitments to a race team and raising six kids there wasn't much time or enthusiasm for anything else. But deep down there was an unfulfilled desire, and by the time he was well into his Seventies, Jack decided he had waited long enough to scratch than nagging itch and commissioned John Nissen, of Nissen's Hot Rod Garage in Williams, California, to build the truck seen here.
This '49 GMC started life as a series FC-102 long wheelbase (125.25 inches) ½-ton pickup. But, like most trucks its age, when John found the five-window it was well used—the running gear had been stripped, the cab corners were rusted, the tops of the fenders were caved in, and what seems to be mandatory for trucks found in rural areas, there were a few bullet holes to repair.
In May 2006, John and his crew started to bring the Jimmy back to life, the original framerails were fitted with a Mustang II IFS from Total Cost Involved while in back the original torque tube-equipped rearend was replaced with a 9-inch Ford. Underhood a GM Performance Ram Jet 350 V-8 backed by a 4L60E automatic transmission, replaced the original 228-inch inline six-cylinder and manual gearbox.
One of Jack's goals for the truck was that it would be comfortable, so Sanford's Custom Auto Upholstery installed a Chevy Tahoe split bench seat after covering it, the door panels and the headliner in tan cloth. A Vintage Air heat and cool unit keeps the cab's confines cozy and the windows are now power operated.
Once the truck's sheetmetal was perfectly straight, it was time to pick a color and with everyone involved the choice was unanimous, it was then simply a matter of having paint mixed to match the cap on Budweiser beer.
Some might think that a truck this nice sees little use and is under a cover more often than not, but Jack wanted a truck to drive and that's what he does. Not long after completion in May 2007, Jack pointed the pickup east for a trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan. On that inaugural trip in the middle of Nevada the pressure began to fluctuate about the same time the driver of another truck flagged him down. Thinking the new engine was blowing out oil Jack pulled over only to find out the other driver wanted to buy his truck.
Ultimately, the erratic oil pressure was traced to a loose wire on the back of the gauge and Jack reports for the next 24,000-plus miles the truck hasn't missed a beat. He's already making plans for events to attend next year and told us, "At 78 years old I'm going to drive Ol' Red '49 until I can't anymore."
It just goes to prove when it comes to fulfilling a dream, it really is better late than never. CCT

We are all about connecting learning to life at UW-Green Bay, so we want to help you make the most of the holiday. We may be just a little late for this year, but if things didn't go quite as you had planned this February 14th, start planning now for next year. Here are the Top Ten Ways that Behaviorism Can Improve Your Valentine's Day.
10. That heart-shaped boxes of chocolates will have greater value if you deprive your partner of food for awhile first.
9. Because they are not observable behaviors, love and happiness are unimportant. Explain to your partner that this is why he or she did not get a gift this year.
8. Token economies have shown great success in all sorts of settings, and there's no reason they shouldn't work in relationships. Don't just give chocolates. Give tokens for positive behaviors that can be traded for chocolates.
7. If you go out to dinner, try ordering "fixed interval scallops" as a joke. Your partner will be enamored by the clever behaviorism pun.
6. To increase the speed of your partner's lip-puckering, try ringing a bell each time you give him or her a kiss.
5. Not only is saying "I love you" a bit of a cliché, it's also meaningless in terms of behaviorism. Try saying something like, "Spending time with you has led to a sharp increase in smiling and laughing, as well as a significant decrease in frowning and crying." Some sort of visual aid (a chart or graph depicting the change) might help drive the point home.
4. Remember, punishment is the least effective way to change behavior. Try negative reinforcement instead. Make an aversive noise until your partner does what you want him or her to do.
3. Cards, chocolates, and flowers have little value as reinforcement. If you give a gift, make it cash.
2. Since variable-ratio reinforcement schedules are best, flip a coin to determine if you will give your partner a gift this year. This should increase positive relationship behaviors in him or her.
1. If you actually tried any of these yourself this year, make sure to check out next month's Top Ten Ways to get a New Partner Now that You've Screwed Up Valentine's Day.

Why 'eating like a man' will actually help women lose weight
Yep, that means beers, steaks, and foods with full fat.
Sounds crazy, right? According to Jim White, a dietitian and personal trainer from Virginia Beach, it's not crazy -- it's the answer we've been looking for. White spoke with the Daily Mail, and laid out the plan of why eating like a man might just be what women need to do.
Here's the deal. When you restrict your diet, you're more likely to overeat before you start (last meal status) and binge as soon as you finish ("I'll have the double-layer burger, please... I just finished a juice cleanse!"). When was the last time one of your guy friends did a juice cleanse? Or told you he was "cutting out carbs for the next TWO weeks"? Pretty rare, right? Most guys just don't have that crash diet mentality, and they're better off for it. When you're cutting yourself off from certain foods and calorie counts for a period of time, you're just asking for those binge meals.
Next up? Diet foods. White says that foods that are labeled "diet" or "low calorie" often aren't as satisfying (as we're all well-aware) and it's simply because they're cutting out the fat and often, protein. Not only does this mean you'll feel less full (and want to snack again sooner), but the foods might have elevated levels of sodium and sugar to make up for the loss of flavor by removing the fat. Um, not a good thing.
So here's what White says women need to do, and how we should take a page out of our beer-and-beef gobbling male counterparts. Focus on the quality of ingredients you're eating, on trying to keep a good balance of fats, carbs, protein and of course - greens. Don't try to cut one thing out, just eat a balanced amount of it. Protein has essential vitamins your body needs in order to lose weight, and it helps you stay feeling full which will stop excess snacking. Not a meat eater? Just add more beans and nuts to your diet. And choosing a beer while you're out with friends instead of a mixed drink will also help fill you up and prevent that side order of fries. (Hey, your liver might thank you here as well.)

| Academic Programs / Intercollegial Programs
Political Economy
William Lynn Holmes, Department of Economics
Richard Deeg, Department of Political Science
This is a joint program offered by the Department of Economics and the Department of Political Science leading to certificate of specialization in political economy.
The purpose of the Political Economy program is to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to study more intensely the relationship between the political and economic spheres of society. The program is based on the belief that a focused examination of this relationship provides us with a better understanding of several social phenomena. Chief among these is a better understanding of public policy choices and the policy making process, as well as a better understanding of how government actions affect the process of economic change and vice versa.
For these reasons the Political Science and Economics departments offer an interdisciplinary certificate in Political Economy. The program is open to all matriculated undergraduate students. Applicants need not be declared majors in either economics or political science. The Political Economy program provides an excellent preparation for graduate study in the social sciences and for the study of law.
Program Requirements
The program consists of two components: required core courses at the lower-division level and elective courses at the upper-division level.
Elective Courses
A "*" denotes that the second option for courses, those with the prefix "W," are Writing Intensive courses.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The dollar reversed course on Thursday, falling against the Japanese yen as U.S. Treasury yields slumped.
The dollar USDJPY, +0.09% fell to ¥101.57 from ¥101.86 late Wednesday. The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.19%, a gauge of the greenback's strength against six currencies, fell to 80.032 from 80.060 in the prior session.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note US:10_YEAR fell to around 2.5%, the lowest level since last October.
"The sharp slide in Treasury bond yields is undermining the dollar pretty much across the board," said Omer Esiner, chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange.
There was a flood of U.S. economic data Thursday.
U.S. weekly jobless claims dropped to their lowest level since May 2007. Consumer prices jumped in April by the most since last summer, with the consumer price index increasing a seasonally adjusted 0.3%. The rise in consumer prices followed a surge in wholesales prices on Wednesday. The two inflation reports are "not going to start any alarm bells ringing in terms of inflation but it is important to note that we are starting to see inflation move higher," said Esiner.
Manufacturing expanded in the New York area in May as the Empire state index surged to 19.0. Read: The economy improving faster than markets and Fed believe.
Not all reports were positive; a reading on U.S. home-builder confidence fell to its lowest level in a year. Industrial production slid 0.6% in April, missing expectations of a 0.2% decline.
The euro EURUSD, -0.2258% traded at $1.3712 versus $1.3715 late Wednesday. The euro had dropped earlier as the euro-zone economy posted weak first-quarter growth, the latest indicator that the European Central Bank could ease policy further next month.
The euro-zone economy expanded 0.2% in the first quarter from the fourth quarter, which was less than the 0.4% growth expected by economists. The overall first-quarter result was driven by Germany's 0.8% growth, countering contractions in Italy and the Netherlands.
Data also confirmed that annual consumer-price growth in the euro zone was 0.7% in April, well below the European Central Bank's medium-term inflation target of just under 2%.
"All adding to expectations that the ECB will act at the June 5th meeting and that the delay in policy action might prove a significant and negative complication to the outlook for the euro zone and [euro]," said Camilla Sutton, chief foreign-exchange strategist at Scotiabank, in a note.
The euro has been on a downward trend since May 6. Declines have accelerated since ECB President Mario Draghi said on May 8 that he would be "comfortable" taking action at the June meeting, but would first look at the ECB's updated inflation forecasts. Investors have since focused on remarks from several ECB officials to get a better sense of what stimulus could be provided in June.
The delay in policy action might prove a significant and negative complication to the outlook for the euro zone
ECB Vice President Vitor Constancio said Thursday the central bank would act "swiftly" to fight low inflation, if necessary, which also had put pressure on the euro.
Meanwhile, the British pound GBPUSD, -0.2720% rose to $1.6791 from $1.6769 late Wednesday. The Australian dollar AUDUSD, -0.4515% fell to 93.57 U.S. cents from 93.79 U.S. cents.
The WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, +0.18%, a measure of dollar strength, inched down to 72.92 from 72.91.

My friend and I were talking in class and we began to ponder what would everything be like after death.
He proposed this question: "Do you remember what it was like before you were born"
"Obviously not" I said
"That's what it is going to be like after death"
I have a theory that you are in a hazy, dream like state after you die.
What are your thoughts?
Views: 2006
Agreement returned. I especially like that you brought up that not all of us want to live forever. Even back in middle school, I thought the book Tuck Everlasting was a horror story :). I find the idea of living forever much more terrifying than death itself.
Some of these answers rather shock me. Are we that afraid of this life being it? The average lifespan in America is 78.1 years and climbing, and that's higher in some European coutries. Really? That's not enough? Everything science tells us about our bodies indicates that once those organs stop getting oxygen and nutrients to our brains, we begin to lose brain function. There comes a point (about 6 minutes in) that medicine at this time cannot reverse the damage done. This is our time of death. Without a functioning brain, we are not self-aware and we have no memories (and the same goes for before birth as that is a time when brain function is either non-existent or limited). We will not experience anything. The point is (and this is, in spirit, the same point I make about theism) evidence to this point indicates that death is the end of you experiencing anything, so until there's new compelling evidence that contradicts this, I'm going to focus on the here and now. That I know I have.
I totally agree with you, Colleen. I see no point in fearing death. Only dying in a slow and cruel way – in short: pain – is what we may actually dread.
Yes, can't say I "fear death" because I believe that "I," once dead, will cease to exist: "being dead" isn't something I can ever experience. But I can (and will, of course) experience dying and so do have fear of that, especially when my imagination goes a little wild and thinks of awful ways to die!
When i die the matter i currently have on loan from the universe returns to the earth it crawled out of to feed the survival of other species that will live on or grow after me. How could anyone imagine a more beautiful ending then the one already provided by natures re absorption. We are an arrogant group of shits to think we can.
I think once you die there's nothing of your consciousness is left. The physical part of your body is recycled by other life as it decomposes, as far as I'm concerned that's about as close to living after death as you get. The atoms in your body are transferred to the eco-system and that's that!!
When you die, you die. That's it. You're a gonner. You are nolonger conscious. Your brains shuts off, therefore all of the organs in your body quit functioning. You do not have an eternal soul that lives on. The only thing about you that will "live on" are the memories of the people you knew while you were alive and the legacy you leave behind (a book you wrote, or an organization you founded, etc).
Many religious people I know find this explaination depressing and they ask me "don't I want there to be a heaven?" or say "you're going to hell." I reply that I will never believe something simply because I WANT it to be true; that doesn't make it true...that makes ME delusional. And, likewise, I'll never believe something simply because I think it beneficial in some way to assume it was true. I will believe something only if there is sufficient evidence supporting it. Period.
Besides, IF there was a heaven, I'd rather not go there. Imagine spending ETERNITY alongside people like Pat Robinson or Ray Comfort...um, no thank you. If I'm wrong and God exists and He, She, or It thinks it necessary to send me to hell forever (basically for the crime of thinking critically) then so be it.
Your friend is absolutely correct. You, on the other hand, are indulging in wishful thinking.
Well, after death, we get recycled. We end up as parts of this and parts of that... just like exploding supernovas made the heavy elements in our bodies... we go on and on.... from star dust to earth dust to who knows what other heavenly body or being we end up being bits of....
When the brain dies, everything that is defined as "you" is no longer in existence... this is a proven fact as shown by neuroscience. There cannot be a life after death... there cannot be any hazy dream like states without a brain to think them.
we get recycled. energy/matter cannot be created or destroyed only transformed into one form or another... so bits of "you" could be anywhere, and we define "you" narrowly, so neuroscience has a perceptional bias.
Sure "you" could be anywhere, but you can't experience this being as "you" without neural activity.

This chapter describes how to create and manage Directory Server instances and suffixes. Many other directory administration tasks are configured at the suffix level, but they are covered in other chapters in this book.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Starting, Stopping, and Restarting a Directory Server Instance
This chapter contains detailed information about how to create server instances and suffixes. If you need to quickly create a Directory Server instance and suffix, and import some example data, see Checking Your Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
This section shows how to create and delete a Directory Server instance.
Before you can administer data, you must create a Directory Server instance by using command-line tools or the browser interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC). In DSCC, a Directory Server instance is often referred to simply as a "Directory Server".
When you create a Directory Server instance, the files and directories required for your Directory Server are created in the instance-path that you specify.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
If you use DSCC to create a new server instance, you can choose to copy some or all server configuration settings from an existing server.
The dsadm command enables you to manage a Directory Server instance and the files belonging to that instance on the local host. The command does not let you administer servers over the network, but only directly on the local host. The dsadm command has subcommands for each key management task. For a complete description, see dsadm(1M).
The dsconf command is an LDAP client. The command enables you to configure nearly all server settings on a running Directory Server instance from the command line. You can configure settings whether the server is on the local host or another host that is accessible across the network. The dsconf command has subcommands for each key configuration task. For a complete description, see dsconf(1M).
Create a new Directory Server instance and set the instance path.
$ dsadm create instance-path
You are prompted to set a password for the Directory Manager for this server.
To specify a non-default port number for the server instance, or any other parameter, see the dsadm(1M) man page.
For example, to create a new instance in the directory /local/dsInst, use this command:
$ dsadm create /local/dsInst Choose the Directory Manager password: Confirm the Directory Manager password: Use 'dsadm start /local/dsInst' to start the instance
The instance is created in a directory on the local file system and not a network file system.
Check that the server instance has been created correctly.
$ dsadm info instance-path
For example:
$ dsadm info /local/dsInst Instance Path: /local/dsInst Owner: user1(group1) Non-secure port: 1389 Secure port: 1636 Bit format: 64-bit State: Running Server PID: 22555 DSCC url: - SMF application name: - Instance version: D-A00
(Optional) If you installed Directory Server using the native packages and your operating system provides a service management solution, you can enable the server to be managed as a service, as shown in this table.
Operating System
Solaris 10
dsadm enable-service --type SMF instance-path
Solaris 9
dsadm autostart instance-path
dsadm enable-service --type WIN_SERVICE instance-path
Start Directory Server.
$ dsadm start instance-path
The server is running but does not contain data or a suffix. Use dsconf to create a suffix.
(Optional) Register the server instance with Directory Service Control Center by using either of the following methods.
Login to DSCC, and then use the Register Existing Server action on the Servers tab of the Directory Servers tab.
Access DSCC using http://hostname:8080/dscc7 or https://hostname:8181/dscc7 as per your application server configuration.
Use the command dsccreg add-server.
$ dsccreg add-server -h hostname --description "My DS" /local/dsInst Enter DSCC administrator's password: /local/dsInst is an instance of DS Enter password of "cn=Directory Manager" for /local/dsInst: This operation will restart /local/dsInst. Do you want to continue ? (y/n) y Connecting to /local/dsInst Enabling DSCC access to /local/dsInst Restarting /local/dsInst Registering /local/dsInst in DSCC on hostname.
See dsccreg(1M) for more information about the command.
If you want to use a password policy and your Directory Server instance is standalone, or if it belongs to a replication topology that has already been migrated to to-DS6-only password policy mode, move the instance to that mode.
$ dsconf pwd-compat -h host -p port to-DS6-migration-mode ## Beginning password policy compatibility changes . ## Password policy compatibility changes finished. Task completed (slapd exit code: 0). $ dsconf pwd-compat -h host -p port to-DS6-mode ## Beginning password policy compatibility changes . ## Password policy compatibility changes finished. Task completed (slapd exit code: 0).
The above action should be performed in the specified sequence.
For more information about password policies compatibilities, see Password Policy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade and Migration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
Before you delete the server instance, you must prepare the instance for deletion. Refer to the following procedure to delete a server instance successfully:
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Stop the Directory Server.
$ dsadm stop [--force] instance-path
If the server was previously registered with DSCC, unregister the server using the following command:
$ dsccreg remove-server /local/dsInst Enter DSCC administrator's password: /local/dsInst is an instance of DS Enter password of "cn=Directory Manager" for /local/dsInst: This operation will restart /local/dsInst. Do you want to continue ? (y/n) y Unregistering /local/dsInst from DSCC on localhost. Connecting to /local/dsInst Disabling DSCC access to /local/dsInst Restarting /local/dsInst
For details, see the dsccreg(1M) man page.
(Optional) If you previously enabled the server instance in a service management solution, disable the server from being managed as a service.
Operating System
Solaris 10
dsadm disable-service --type SMF instance-path
Solaris 9
dsadm autostart --off instance-path
dsadm disable-service --type WIN_SERVICE instance-path
Delete the server instance.
$ dsadm delete instance-path
This command removes everything, under the instance-path directory.
If the instance has been enabled as a service, or if the instance is started automatically at system startup, dsadm delete requires root access.
To start, stop or restart, the server from the command line, use the commands dsadm start, dsadm stop, and dsadm restart, respectively.
When you stop and restart a Directory Server instance with a large cache in memory configured to hold entries, the cache takes some time to refill. While the cache fills again, the instance responds more slowly.
These commands must be run by the same UID and GID that created the Directory Server, or run by root. For example, if Directory Server runs as user1 , you should run the start, stop, and restart utilities as user1.
On Solaris, role-based access control allows you to run Directory Server as a user other than root.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help. However, this does not apply to the step for enabling and disabling service management. Enabling and disabling service management must be done at the command line when starting and stopping Directory Server.
For more information about dsadm subcommands and options used below, see dsadm(1M).
To start, stop, or restart Directory Server, do one of the following:
To start the server, type:
$ dsadm start instance-path
For example, to start a server with the instance path /local/dsInst, use this command:
$ dsadm start /local/dsInst
If the start operation fails after a configuration change, use the --safe option as shown in the following command:
$ dsadm start --safe /local/dsInst
To stop the server, type:
$ dsadm stop [--force] instance-path
For example:
$ dsadm stop --force /local/dsInst
To restart the server, type:
$ dsadm restart instance-path
For example:
$ dsadm restart /local/dsInst
List the running instances on a host using the following command:
dsadm list-running-instances [--all]
The –all option lists the running instances from any installation path.
Stop the running instances on a host using the following command:
dsadm stop-running-instances [-i] [--force]
After you have created your Directory Server instance, you must create one or more suffixes for the server's Directory Information Tree (DIT). The DIT consists of all of the entries in your server, as identified by their distinguished names (DNs). The hierarchical nature of a DN creates branches and leaves that structure the data in the tree. The DIT is defined and managed administratively in terms of suffixes and sub-suffixes. DSCC provides controls for creating and administering all of these elements. Alternatively, you can use command-line tools.
For conceptual information about structuring directory data and about suffixes in general, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
As explained in the following procedure, you can use the dsconf create-suffix command to create a suffix configuration in your directory. Because root suffixes and sub-suffixes are managed internally in the same way, the procedure for creating them from the command line is nearly the same. The procedure shows the dsconf create-suffix command used only with the required options. For more information about other options of this command, see the dsconf(1M) man page or run the following command:
$ dsconf create-suffix --help
The configuration entries can be created by any administration user. However, the top entry of the suffix must be created by the Directory Manager or as a Directory Administrator, such as cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
If you use DSCC to create a new suffix, you can choose to copy some or all suffix configuration settings from an existing suffix.
Create the root suffix.
Ensure that your server is running, then type this command:
$ dsconf create-suffix -h host -p port suffix-DN
where the suffix-DN is the full DN of the new suffix. For a root suffix, the convention is to use the domain-component (dc) naming attribute.
For example, to create a suffix for the DN dc=example,dc=com , use this command:
$ dsconf create-suffix -h host1 -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com
This command creates the new suffix as follows:
The top level (or base) entry of the root suffix is created.
The configuration entries in cn=config for both the suffix and the database are created.
The default database name is based on the suffix DN.
For information about all of the suffixes, including the new suffix that has been created, use this command:
$ dsconf list-suffixes -h host -p port -v
The -v option displays verbose mode, which shows how many entries are on the suffix, and any replication information.
If you have more than one Directory Server instance, use the -h host name and -p port number options to specify which server instance the suffix should belong to.
If you want to specify a non-default path for the database files, use the -L option. You can change the suffix database path at a later stage. To do this, use the command dsconf set-suffix-prop suffix-DN db-path:new-db-path, then stop the server, move the database files manually, and restart the server.
To see all the options that you can use when creating suffixes, refer to the dsconf(1M) man page.
Database names can contain only ASCII (7-bit) alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Directory Server does not accept multibyte characters (such as in Chinese or Japanese character sets) in strings for database names, file names, and path names.
To work around this issue, when creating a Directory Server suffix having multibyte characters, specify a database name that has no multibyte characters. When creating a suffix on the command line, for example, explicitly set the --db-name option of the dsconf create-suffix command.
$ dsconf create-suffix --db-name asciiDBName UTF-8SuffixDN
Do not use default as database name for the suffix. Do not use multibyte characters for the database name.
If required, create the sub-suffix:
$ dsconf create-suffix -h host -p port subSuffix-DN
then attach the sub-suffix to the root suffix.
$ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port subSuffix-DN parent-suffix-dn:parentSuffix-DN
where parentSuffix-DN must have the same value as suffix-DN in the previous step. The suffix-DN for the sub-suffix includes the relative distinguished name (RDN) of the sub-suffix and the DN of its parent suffix.
For example, to create the sub-suffix ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com, and to attach the sub-suffix to the root suffix, type:
$ dsconf create-suffix -h host1 -p 1389 ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com $ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host1 -p 1389 ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com \ parent-suffix-dn:dc=example,dc=com
When this entry is added to the directory, the database module of the server automatically creates the database files in the following directory:
where database-name is the name automatically built from a part of the suffix. For example, in the previous example, the database-name would be Contractors
(Optional) Initialize the suffix with data. See Initializing a Suffix.
Sometimes, you might need to make a suffix unavailable for maintenance, or to make its contents unavailable for security reasons. The action of disabling a suffix prevents the server from reading or writing the contents of the suffix in response to any client operations. When you disable a suffix, you no longer have access to that suffix, and the referral mode is automatically set to disabled.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Disable the suffix.
$ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN enabled:off
You cannot disable a suffix on which replication is enabled because most properties of a replicated suffix are determined by the replication mechanism.
Enable the suffix.
$ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN enabled:on
If you want to limit access to a suffix without disabling the suffix completely, you can modify the access permissions to allow read-only access. In this case you must define a referral to another server for write operations. You can also deny both read and write access, and define a referral for all operations on the suffix.
Referrals can also be used to temporarily point a client application to a different server. For example, while backing up the contents of the suffix, you might add a referral to another suffix.
If your suffix is a consumer in a replicated environment, the replication mechanism determines the value of the referral setting. Although you can manually modify the referral setting, the referral will be overwritten at the next replication update. For information about setting replication referrals, see To Perform Advanced Consumer Configuration.
Referrals are labeled URLs, that is, an LDAP URL optionally followed by a space character and a label. For example:
Because space characters are significant, any space characters in the URL part of the referral must be escaped using %20.
Set the referral URL.
$ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN referral-url:LDAP-URL
where LDAP-URL is a valid URL containing the host name, port number, and DN of the target.
For example:
$ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host1 -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com \ referral-url:ldap://phonebook.example.com:389/
You can specify any number of LDAP URLs.
Set the referral mode in order to make the suffix read-only.
$ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN referral-mode:only-on-write
To make the suffix unavailable for both read and write operations, and to return referrals for all requests, set the referral-mode to enabled.
As soon as the command is successful, the suffix is read-only or inaccessible and ready to return referrals.
(Optional) When the suffix becomes available, disable the referrals to make the suffix read-write again.
$ dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN referral-mode:disabled
When referrals are disabled, the suffix automatically becomes read-write, unless you have disabled the suffix itself by setting the enabled property of the suffix to off.
You can import data to a Directory Server suffix in the following ways:
Initialize a suffix from an LDIF file. This operation deletes the current data in the suffix and replaces it with the contents of the LDIF file.
Use an LDIF file to perform bulk ldapadd, ldapmodify, or ldapdelete operations. This allows you to add, modify, and delete entries in bulk in any suffix of the directory.
The offline import (dsadm import) does not remove the changelog as the changelog data may still be in the suffix. At server start, replication decides if the changelog needs to be kept or not. Online import (dsconf import) decides straight away if changelog needs to be recreated or not.
The following table shows the differences between initializing a suffix and adding, modifying, and deleting entries in bulk.Table 2–1 Comparison of Initializing a Suffix and Importing Data in Bulk
Domain of Comparison
Initializing Suffixes
Adding, Modifying, and Deleting Entries in Bulk
Overwrites content

LDAP operations
Add, modify, delete
Response to server failure
Atomic (all changes are lost after a failure)
Best effort (all changes made up to the point of the failure remain)
LDIF file location

On client machine
If server is local and stopped:
dsadm import
If server is remote and running:
dsconf import
ldapmodify -B
Note –
Bulk import using the ldapmodify -B command erases the existing entries under the target suffix.
Initializing a suffix overwrites the existing data in a suffix with the contents of an LDIF file that contains only entries for addition.
You must be authenticated as the Directory Manager or an Administrator to initialize a suffix.
When the server is running, only the Directory Manager and Administrators can import an LDIF file that contains a root entry. For security reasons, only these users have access to the root entry of a suffix, for example, dc=example,dc=com.
Before restoring suffixes involved in replication agreements, read Restoring Replicated Suffixes.
All LDIF files that you import must use UTF-8 character-set encoding.
When initializing a suffix, the LDIF file must contain the root entry and all directory tree nodes of the corresponding suffix.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Use one of the following commands to initialize the suffix from an LDIF file, that is, import the contents of a database to an LDIF file.
These commands overwrite the data in your suffix.
If your server is local and stopped, type:
$ dsadm import instance-path LDIF-file suffix-DN
The following example uses the dsadm import command to import two LDIF files into a single suffix:
$ dsadm import /local/dsInst /local/file/example/demo1.ldif \ /local/file/example/demo2.ldif dc=example,dc=com
If your server is running (local or remote), type:
$ dsconf import -h host -p port LDIF-file suffix-DN
The following example imports an LDIF file using dsconf import. You do not need root privileges to run the command, but you must authenticate as a user with root permissions, such as the Directory Manager.
$ dsconf import -h host1 -p 1389 /local/file/example/demo1.ldif \ ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
When using the dsconf command, the dse.ldif file must be available to the host running the server.
For more information, see the dsadm(1M) and dsconf(1M)man pages.
Examples that use command-line tools depend on sample data residing under the dc=example,dc=com suffix of your directory.
You can set up part of the data that is required by creating a dc=example,dc=com suffix. You can then populate the suffix with entries from the install-path/dsee7/resources/ldif/Example.ldif file.
Create a new Directory Server instance and start the instance.
$ dsadm create -p port -P SSL-port instance-path $ dsadm start instance-path
Read the Example.ldif file to find bind passwords needed in the examples.
Create suffix and load the Example.ldif content into the directory by using the following commands:
$ dsconf create-suffix -h localhost -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com $ dsconf import -h localhost -p 1389 \ install-path/dsee7/resources/ldif/Example.ldif dc=example,dc=com
For more information, see To Create a Directory Server Instance.
Generate test data for examples by using the makeldif(1) command, as shown in the next step, and the following template:
define suffix=dc=example,dc=com define maildomain=example.com branch: ou=test,[suffix] subordinateTemplate: person:100 template: person rdnAttr: uid objectclass: top objectclass: person objectclass: organizationalPerson objectclass: inetOrgPerson givenName: <first> sn: <last> cn: {givenName} {sn} initials: {givenName:1}{sn:1} employeeNumber: <sequential> uid: test{employeeNumber} mail: {uid}@[maildomain] userPassword: auth{employeeNumber}{employeeNumber} telephoneNumber: <random> description: This is the description for {cn}.
Create a test.template file and copy the template content, as shown above, into it. Use commands such as the following to generate the data in test.ldif and to load the content into the directory.
The test.template file must be created in the install-path/dsee7/dsrk/bin/example_files directory.
$ cd install-path/dsee7/dsrk/bin/example_files $ ../makeldif -t test.template -o test.ldif Processing complete. 101 total entries written. $ ../ldapmodify -a -c -D uid=hmiller,dc=example,dc=com -w - -f test.ldif Enter bind password: …
If you read Example.ldif, you see that the password for hmiller is hillock.
This step is specific to the zip installation because the makeldif command is available only in the zip distribution.
When you perform an ldapmodify operation, you are able to add, modify, or delete entries in bulk. Entries are specified in an LDIF file that contains update statements to modify or delete existing entries. This operation does not erase entries that already exist.
The changed entries may target any suffix that is managed by your Directory Server. As with any other operation that adds entries, the server will index all new entries as they are imported.
The ldapmodify command will import an LDIF file through LDAP and perform all operations that the file contains. Using this command you can modify data in all directory suffixes at the same time.
Before restoring suffixes involved in replication agreements, see Restoring Replicated Suffixes.
All LDIF files that you import must use UTF-8 character-set encoding.
When importing an LDIF file, parent entries must either exist in the directory or be added first from the file.
Add, modify, or delete from an LDIF file in bulk.
$ ldapmodify -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - -B baseDN -f LDIF-file
The following example performs an import using the ldapmodify command. You do not need root privileges to run this command, but you must authenticate as a user with root permissions, such as cn=Directory Manager or cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config. The last parameter specifies the name of the LDIF file to import.
$ ldapmodify -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - \ -B dc=example,dc=com -f /local/dsInst/ldif/demo.ldif
Deleting a suffix removes its entire branch from the DIT.
When you delete a suffix, you permanently remove all of its data entries from the directory. You also remove all suffix configuration information, including its replication configuration.
You cannot delete a parent suffix and keep its sub-suffixes in the DIT as new root suffixes. If you want to delete an entire branch that contains sub-suffixes, you must also delete the sub-suffixes of the deleted parent and their possible sub-suffixes.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Remove the suffix configuration entry:
$ dsconf delete-suffix -h host -p port [subSuffix-DN] suffix-DN
This command removes the suffix from the server, starting with the base entry at the suffix-DN. The suffix is no longer visible or accessible in the directory.
Directory Server 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) supports the compaction of suffixes offline. Online compaction is not supported in this release. If storage space is available, compacting a suffix reduces the size of the database by reorganizing the database keys, and returns the storage space to the filesystem, if possible. Since application data is not processed and based on the way the database keys are managed, it is not guaranteed that the storage space can be reclaimed. Nevertheless database size will not grow.
Stop the server and backup your database before performing this task.

It will be all about the O in Gainesville this spring.
Last year, it was more like "Oh, no."
With new offensive coordinator Kurt Roper bringing a fast-paced system and the promise of total autonomy in personnel and play-calling, the Florida Gators will undergo what coach Will Muschamp admitted will be a "drastic change, schematically."
Although Roper won't be able to display what Muschamp meant until the beginning of spring practice Wednesday, players on that side of the ball are buying into the notion that spread formations out of the shotgun or pistol, with faster turnarounds between plays is the way to go in the current era of college football.
"Very good positive response from our players," Muschamp said about the upcoming changes. "They're excited about where we are now. We haven't gotten on the field and done a lot as far as football is concerned but the guys are excited. That's good. You've got to have belief in what you're doing. I felt like that was a huge issue for us last season."
That's as close as Muschamp might come to admitting that his expressed desire of controlling the ball on the ground was antiquated. After Gators fans watched Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer rack up yards, points, victories and championships with wide-open offenses, going 4-8 in 2013 has apparently convinced the current UF coach.
"It affected our entire team, from the offensive side of the ball," he said.
The good news for all concerned is that Jeff Driskel, who guided Florida to an 11-2 season and the Sugar Bowl in 2012, is back after playing in only three games before breaking his leg against Tennessee. Driskel was recruited by Meyer and will be playing for his third offensive coordinator, but Muschamp said that's the least of his worries.
"Jeff's been exposed to a lot since he's been here, schematically, so he'll be able to adjust well," Muschamp said. "I think he's more comfortable in the gun."
The Gators also will get a look at prize quarterback signee Will Grier, who enrolled in January.
Muschamp rattled off a series of statistics that convinced him that running and passing out of a shotgun will fit the team's personnel better than last year's system. For example, in 2012, the Gators averaged 6.8 yards per running play out of the shotgun, and more than 60 percent completion percentage on passes from the gun. When Driskel was under center, Florida was a shade over 4 yards per carry, and its completion percentage was less than 50 percent.
"Obviously, the quarterback's legs have a lot to do with the run game being so efficient," he said.
But for any system to work, the Gators need to stay healthier along the offensive front.

Thyroid Regulation
Thyroid Hormone Replacement
The most common treatment for low thyroid hormone levels consists of thyroid hormone replacement therapy. The goal of thyroid hormone replacement is to relieve symptoms and to provide sufficient thyroid hormone to decrease elevated TSH levels to within the normal range.87
Conventional treatment almost always begins with synthetic T4 (levothyroxine) preparations like Synthroid® or Levoxyl®. Low doses are usually used at first because a rapid increase in thyroid hormone may result in cardiac damage.88
Sometimes hypothyroid symptoms persist despite T4 treatment. In a 2001 study, T4 therapy was no more effective than placebo in improving cognitive function and psychological well-being in patients with symptoms of hypothyroidism, despite improvement in free T3 levels.89 A December 2010 study compared the T3 and T4 levels of hypothyroid patients treated with T4 alone against the levels found in healthy people and reported that T4 supplementation alone did not increase T3 to the same level as found in healthy people.90 As you will read later, deficiencies in nutrients like selenium can disable the body from converting T4 to biologically active T3.
In an animal study, rats with the thyroid gland removed were treated with T4 alone. The researchers found that no single dose restored normal concentrations of TSH, T4, and T3 in the blood, tissues and organs.91 The following year the same authors reported that a combination of T4 and T3 was able to normalize hormone levels in both blood and tissues.92 Other studies have failed to demonstrate any advantage of the combination therapy, although the results do suggest the possibility of a subset of hypothyroid patients who would benefit from combination therapy.93,94
One combination option is a drug called Thyrolar, which combines synthetic T3 and T4 in a fixed 1:4 ratio. Caution should be used, however, in administering T3 to older individuals because excess T3 may cause adverse cardiac events in this population.95
Another T3 option is a drug called Cytomel®, which is a synthetic form of T3. This can be used in combination with T4.
Desiccated Thyroid. Armour thyroid, Nature-throid, and Westhroid are prescription medications that contain desiccated porcine thyroid gland. Natural thyroid extracts have been used since 1892 and were approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1939. Armour thyroid and most other natural glandular preparations are made to standards approved by the United States Pharmacopoeia.
Armour thyroid is preferred by some clinicians because it may achieve results in patients that fail to respond to levothyroxine alone. Patients with hypothyroidism show greater improvements in mood and brain function if they receive treatment with Armour thyroid rather than Synthroid®.96 One argument favoring natural hormones is that other naturally occurring hormones and chemicals found in these preparations may buffer or enhance the effect of the active hormones.87,92
Ultimately, there may not be a single correct approach to low thyroid hormone levels. Instead, the best option may be to monitor thyroid levels through regular blood testing and systematically try various protocols to see what yields the best resolution of symptoms. Some people may prefer to begin with desiccated thyroid, while others may find it preferable to begin with T4 supplementation then move to a combination T3-T4 therapy if they experience no improvement from T4 alone.
Absorption of Thyroid Hormone Medications. Coffee,97 aluminum antacids,98 ferrous sulfate (iron),99 calcium carbonate,100 soy101 and possibly grapefruit juice102 can all decrease the absorption of thyroid hormone prescriptions. Most doctors simply advise patients to take thyroid hormone away from any food or medication.
While most people take thyroid hormone in the morning, a December 2010 paper suggests that it is more effective to take thyroid medication just before bed.103

text: Show Hide image Politics 12 December 2012 Balls's demise has been exaggerated On a Labour front bench that's hardly groaning with heavyweight talent, the shadow chancellor is as close as anyone to being indispensable. Sign-up Let's not throw Ed Balls out with the bathwater. Yes, Labour's shadow chancellor had a bad week. A poor response to the autumn statement was further undermined by a misguided attempt to blame the whole thing on his stutter, and an even more misguided attempt to brand the Tories as callous for revelling in his discomfort. It wasn't just the Tory party relishing the shadow chancellor's misfortune. A Labour frontbencher told the Mail on Sunday: "The Balls brand was built on an aura of invincibility. But against George Osborne last week, he was as nimble as an arthritic elephant. He's been holed below the waterline by one speech." No, he hasn't. Ed Balls had a bad day at the office. OK, he poured coffee into his hard drive, smashed the photocopier and called his manager a moron. But his position is still secure. Gross exaggeration There are a number of reasons why Balls's demise has been exaggerated. The first is that it would make sense for Ed Miliband to eject his shadow chancellor only if he wanted to signal a change in his stance on the economy. There's more chance of Miliband turning up at PMQs in a chicken costume than unveiling his own economic plan B. Last year, I wrote that the Balls "Too far, too fast" mantra was helping the Tories: "The deficit is the defining issue in British politics. And Tory attempts to brand Labour as deficit deniers have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams." And so it's proved. But deficit denial is now Labour's strategy for 2015. By pointing to the callousness of the Tory cuts, contrasting them with the iniquitous axing of the 50p income-tax rate, and praying Osbornomics leads us into a triple- or quadruple-dip recession, Miliband is gambling on turning us into a nation of deficit deniers. And frankly, there is no one in the shadow cabinet with a better chance of pulling off that strategy than its architect. Another reason why Miliband isn't going to be dumping Balls is that he doesn't trust him. He has no intention of letting him roam free on the back benches causing mischief, nor have him rattling around a second-tier brief with time – and a leader – to kill. Tory big guns But there is an even more compelling incentive for Miliband to retain the services of his temporarily misfiring shadow chancellor. The Tories – conscious that they have underestimated the threat posed by Miliband and his "new politics" – are bringing up the big guns. A ferocious barrage is about to be launched and Miliband will need every seasoned political veteran he can find. There are few in Labour's ranks who bear, or have administered, more battle scars than Balls. On a Labour front bench that's hardly groaning with heavyweight talent, he is as close as anyone seems to being indispensable. Which doesn't mean he has no lessons to learn. The Balls-the-Bruiser routine has run its course. He needs to cut out the taunting and the flatlining hand gestures at PMQs and start acting like the next chancellor, not the next Nadine Dorries. If he is going to stick to his Keynesian economic model, it needs to be internally consistent; Labour can't simultaneously advocate a freeze in public-sector pay but an inflation-busting rise in benefits, for example. And he's got to shut up about that stutter. Despite hostility towards the coalition, the electorate is not convinced by Labour's strategy of deficit denial and many still believe the party is culpable for losing control of the nation's finances while in power. But if anyone can help lead Labour to victory against all the odds, it is Ed Balls, with or without a stutter. An earlier version of this article wrongly attributed a quote to John Mann MP.

3rd International Conference on Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity
On Thursday, September 20, Erik Assadourian will speak at the 3rd International Conference on Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity in Venice, Italy. He will join the afternoon plenary session, where he will join Friedrich Hinterberger of the Sustainable Europe Research Institute (SERI), Luca Mercalli of the Italian Meteorlogical Society, and Ugo Bardi of the University of Florence.
About the 3rd International Conference on Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity
Degrowth today proposes not only to abandon the obsession with growth and the collective imagination based on unlimited growth, but also invites us to deal with the significant phase of discontinuity our civilization is facing. Issues such as climate change and ecological crisis, the struggle for social and environmental justice, the looting of resources, oil peak and energy crisis, all accompanied by the growing dependence on technology and a huge crisis of social ties remind us of the vastness of the challenge that awaits us. We are asked nothing less than to begin a journey of conversion and transformation of material and cultural foundations of the so-called "developed" societies.
This path involves the "re-signification" of the very idea of welfare or wellliving, the reconstruction on a basis of justice and interdependence of the "north-south," "south-south," and "north-north relationships," and the redefinition of a pact of solidarity between generations. A change that places high on our agenda topics and issues as work, income, consumption, waste, energy, technology, mobility, education, citizenship all inextricably linked. A project of degrowth exempt from all reductionism can be proposed only through comparison and discussion that pay attention to connections, interactions, transversal linking, with a strong cross-disciplinary look that can hold together natural and social sciences.

However, there are situations where you need to connect an Android device, for example a tablet, and you don't own a second Android device (generally a phone), but you have only a GPRS [General Packet Radio Service] phone (like many common BlackBerry, Nokia, Samsung ...phones) with tethered modem capability.
Till now, you has been able to use this phone as an external modem to connect a laptop computer to the Internet but not to connect the Android device.
The last release of BlueVPN for Android ICS (4.0.x) enables the internet connection of Android devices through dial up modem phones and so bypasses this limitation.
To setup the connection you may follow the same steps described before: enable the bluetooth on both Android and no-Android device and create the BT pairing. For an unknown Android limitation it is strongly recomended to remove any space in the Bluetooth device names before the pairing ( for example: rename "Nokia E65" to "NokiaE65" )
The main differences are in the setting parameters:
Modem compatibility: some modems don't allow multiple lines for AT commands; if you enable this option the AT commands are not prefixed with <cr><lf> ("carriage return" and "line feed")
For example: compatibility disabled: <cr><lf>AT<cr><lf> ; compatibility enabled: AT\<cr><lf>
Modem line feed: if you disable this option the AT commands will use only the "carriage return" character (<cr>) otherwise thery will use both the "carriage return" and "line feed" (<cr><lf>)
For example: compatibility disabled: <cr>AT<cr> ; compatibility enabled: AT<cr>
AT Initialization: it is the modem initialization string, the default is E0V1&C1&D2 but you can change it according to your modem specifications
Connection Timeout: is the time after which the app will resend the same data if it doesn't receive the replay for the first AT command or first LCP / NCP initialization packet.
Inter-character delay: some devices are slow in processing characters so we need to wait some milliseconds between each of them (e.g. sending AT is equal to send 'A', wait few milliseconds, send 'T', wait few milliseconds, etc.)
LCP compatibility: it is an option to force the PPP-LCP negotiation, you need to enable this option only in extremely rare cases
Blackberry compatibility: enable this option if you are connecting a Blackberry phone as modem
Bluetooth Insecure Socket: enable this option only if you get issues with the bluetooth connection
DUN service channel: represents the channel for the bluetooth DUN profile; change the value and set a number like 2, 3 , 4 or 6 if the connection doesn't work with the default value 0 (auto-assigned)
Access Point: while BlueDUN doesn't need any particular configuration because it routes the data packets to/from the Mobile 3G or Wi-Fi existing connections, for your phone to connect over GPRS, you'll need to tell the phone which APN (Access Point Name) to use.
GPRS is a service supplied by mobile phone network operators and the APN is used to work out where to route data requests. Most operators have different access points for different services, and you'll need to pick the right one, or things won't work; generally the Internet Access point is used for web browsing, email and instant messaging, etc. Here is the World's GPRS APN list.
For CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) connections keep the Access Point value blank.
Phone Number: GPRS doesn't use a dial-up number (as GSM data calls do), but a conventional dial up Phone Number (*99# , *99***1# or something similar) should be set for the modem negotiation.
For CDMA usually the number is #777.
Authentication: the authentication step is generally required even if the username and password are not defined, so you may select the authentication type = PAP (default) or CHAP. UserName and Password are sometimes required by certain mobile operators and you have to insert the right ones for the user authentication (otherwise leave them blank).
DNS: finally, you may need to set the Primary and alternative (Secondary) DNS addresses; they are used to resolve the domain names and are generally assigned automatically during the connection setup when equal to 0.0.0.0. If you force these parameters it is possible that the service provider cannot resolve the internet URLs and the connection doesn't work.
Note: dialing and connection is supported by the wireless service provider and extra fees or additional charges might apply as this is going through the carrier's network.
BlueVPN has been tested with BlackBerry 9300, Nokia phones (E65, E66, N8-00 Belle, C60-01), Samsung SGH-L760.
Log reports:
You can help the app development in these way:
1. Open the BlueVPN settings and activate the options "Enable Logger" + "Log To File"
2. Go back and tap the GPRS phone name on the paired device list (start new connection)
3. If connection fails or after some time, open the BlueVPN settings again and click the last item [Send Files for Debug] for sending all the generated log files ( named application.log ) by email
Known issues:
A) The BlueVPN app seems locked on Modem or LCP negotiation messages
1. Pair the GPRS phone with a Windows PC and create a bluetooth modem connection
2. Open a command prompt on Window PC (cmd) and type in the order the following commands:
- netsh
- ras
- set tracing PPP enable
4. Send by mail the file /Windows/tracing/PPP.log and the application.log (generated as described above)
B) The BlueVPN app shows the connected message (and the stop button) but suddently goes back to the paired device list
Some Android device manufacturers (Sony for example) do not include the VPN TUN module in the Android 4.0.x version that is installed on the device. This module is similar to a device driver. Without the module installed, a VPN tunnel cannot be established from the device.
To check if your device supports the VPN you can install the CatLog - Logcat Reader! app;
In case of unsupported VPN, an error message that appears similar to the following example is written to the catlog report when you tap the connection button on BlueVPN app:
E/VpnJni ( 189): Cannot allocate TUN: Bad file number
E/F5EdgeClient( 1391): Failed to establish VPN
E/F5EdgeClient( 1391): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create interface
You can install the TUN module by installing the "TUN.ko Installer" app:
Please contact the manufacturer's support for more information.
Best Practices: Use only letters and numbers for Bluetooth device names (no special chars or spaces)
C) After the upgrade to Android 4.1 or 4.2 (Jelly Bean), BlueVPN doesn't connect when click on remote device name
- remove the pairing with the remote device on Android settings and create it again.
- click over the icon on the right of paired device name
- enable the option "Use for internet access" (don't worry if the it remains unchecked )

Victim's family claps as accused murderer is arraigned
Family members of shooting victim Donna Richardson, appalled that she was apparently killed by a stray bullet while trying to enjoy a night out at the Mai Thai Restaurant and Bar six months ago, cheered and clapped after a judge set a high bond Tuesday for her accused killer.
David J. Grant, 33, a one-time Norwich resident, was arrested in Baltimore this week and extradited to Connecticut to face charges of murdering the 45-year-old Richardson and shooting her niece, 29-year-old Crystal Roderick, in the thigh on June 24. Grant was presented before Judge Kevin P. McMahon, who set his bond at $2.5 million and transferred the case to the court where major crimes are tried.
Grant, who is known as "D," has a glass eye as a result of being shot in the face on Talman Street in November 2010. He was attempting to shoot a man who had shot at a friend of his a year earlier, according to an arrest warrant affidavit prepared by Norwich police Detective Christopher Conley.
Richardson's family members, including the niece who was shot in the thigh and survived, applauded when they heard the high bond amount. Some left the courtroom crying.
Some of the family members had been asked to leave the courtroom earlier in the morning after causing a commotion. McMahon allowed them back in for Grant's arraignment but warned them, "You've got to keep your cool. No more blowing up like you did earlier."
Outside the courthouse after the arraignment, the family members said Grant had turned to them and uttered an apology as he was led back to the courthouse lockup, but that the apology did not make them feel better.
"Any coward can go into any restaurant and start shooting," said Steven Roderick, Richardson's partner of 11 years. He said family members had gathered at the Mai Thai for a birthday party that night and that he had left early after telling Richardson to call him when she got home.
"She never came home," he said, tears streaming down his face.
She died of a gunshot wound to the chest.
Crystal Roderick politely declined to be interviewed. According to the warrant affidavit, she told police she and her aunt were on the dance floor prior to the shooting and that she had walked to the outside deck to smoke a cigarette. She said she didn't know where Richardson went. She said she saw Grant, whom she knew as "D," seated on the deck's railing. She said she heard four shots and felt a burning sensation in her right leg.
She walked into the bar, where she saw Richardson on the floor, unresponsive and bleeding, according to the affidavit.
Several witnesses who knew Grant told police they saw Grant inside the bar before the shooting, according to the affidavit. They said they saw him shoot a gun as he stood in the parking lot of the bar, then "calmly" walk around the building, gun still in hand, and get into the passenger seat of a maroon car.
The person who drove Grant from the scene, identified only as "Witness #5" in the affidavit, said s/he drove Grant to Brooklyn, N.Y., after the shooting. The witness told investigators that Grant was attempting to shoot 31-year-old Isaiah Lee of Groton, whom the witness knew only as "Zay," because Lee had shot a friend of Grant's a year earlier. The witness said Grant took a phone call about 45 minutes into the drive to New York and said, after hanging up, "Yo, two innocent people got hit."
Lee, interviewed by police, said he was on the deck of the Mai Thai when the shooting occurred but did not know Grant or see who shot the gun.
About six hours after the shooting, the police recovered a .38 caliber Taurus handgun, stolen out of North Carolina, that had been recovered by a Mohegan tribal groundskeeper near the intersection of Mohegan Sun Boulevard and Route 2A. Two days later a citizen found a .38 caliber bullet near the parking lot of the American Legion at 457 Laurel Hill Ave. Crime squad detectives later recovered a .38-caliber shell casing from the same area.
Grant is charged with murder, first-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a pistol or revolver and two counts of violation of probation. His case has been transferred to the New London courthouse where major crimes are tried and continued to Jan. 7.
Also pending in that court is the case of Devan Jarmon, 24, of Norwich, who allegedly went to the front parking lot of the bar and fired one round from his 9 mm pistol into the air "in the chaos of the moment" after people came into the bar screaming that somebody had been shot on the bar's back deck.
Jarmon is charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, unlawful discharge of a firearm, criminal possession of a pistol or revolver and first-degree reckless endangerment.
