Beta-Alanine Beta-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid and is the only naturally occuring beta-amino acid. When engaging in intense training, the body will accumulate large amounts of hydrogen ions (H+), which casue the muscles pH to decrease and become more acidic. When pH decreases, strength will also begin to subside and fatigue will set in. These limitations hinder you from adequately overloading your muscles and inhibit muscle gains. By supplementing with beta-alanine, the bodys carnosine levels are supported. Carnosine acts as an intracellular buffer, which aids in stabilizing muscular pH by soaking up hydrogen ions that are released during exercise.
Agmatine Sulfate Agmatine (4-aminobutyl) guanidine, NH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH-C(-NH2)(=NH)), is a byproduct of the amino acid Arginine and acts as an intermediate in polyamine biosynthesis. It is generated through a process referred to as decarboxylation which is a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide (CO2); it is essentially Arginine with the carboxylic acid end eliminated. Agmatine is synthesized in the brain, stored in synaptic vesicles, collected by uptake, discharged by membrane depolarization, and inactivated by agmatinase.
As a result of these effects, supplementing any athletic and/or bodybuilding regimen with Agmatine may promote athletic performance, fat loss, and muscle size, vascularity, and fullness. Additional benefits include antioxidant support, and reccovery support. Arginine was the "miracle worker" of its time, but Agmatine appears to be an even better supplemental option in regards to promoting body physique advancements and performance.
Malic Acid Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid made by all living organisms. It is formed in metabolic cycles in the cells and is produced and broken down in the human body every day. Malic acid is involved in cell metabolism and is the source of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which assumes a central role in the energy production rates of all cells in the human body. For instance, in both the glyoxalate and Kreb cycles, it provides the cells with carbon skeletons and energy for the formation of amino acids.
L-Norvaline L-Norvaline is a version of the branched chain amino acid, valine. It is found in various foods such as meats, grains, dairy, peanuts and soy products. L-Norvaline is involved in the indirect increase of nitric oxide levels in the blood. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme, Arginase, which is utilized in the breakdown and removal of Arginine into urea. Arginine acts as a precursor to nitric oxide, thus the inhibition of arginase will support the concentration of Arginine, promoting nitric oxide production.
L-Histidine L-Histidine is a derivative from the amino acid, Histamine. Histamine is a hormone/chemical transmitter involved in the regulation of stomach acid production. When released from cells, histamine causes vasodilation and plays a key role in the production of red and white blood cells. Supplementation with histidine has been suggested to support muscle carnosine concentrations. When combined with beta-alanine, the effects may be enhanced.
Cellular Augmentation System
Creatine Monohydrate Creatine Monohydrate is one of the original forms of creatine that was introduced in the form of a supplement. It is a compound made up of three amino acids: Arginine, Methionine, and Glycine, and is produced primarily in the liver. It can also be found in various meats and fish. Creatine provides additional energy to the muscles, acts as a lactic acid buffer, serves as a hydration mechanism for the cells, and supports protein synthesis.
Creatine MagnaPower The full potential of creatine as a supplement is limited by the lactamation reaction, which alters a major part of the creatine consumed into inert creatinine; this reaction binds the amino group of creatine with its acid group. This reaction will essentially lock up the creatine molecule, transforming into creatinine and making it ally inert. Creatine MagnaPower™ eliminates this disadvantage by mixing the creatine with magnesium. Magnesium has strong alkali properties that decrease the environmental acidity of creatine and maintain it in its ready-to-use solution.
Creatine Pyruvate Pyruvate is a by-product produced in the body during the normal metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates. When glucose is broken down, it produces two molecules of pyruvate; when oxygen levels in the body are high, the pyruvate breaks down into carbon dioxide via a series of reactions in the Krebs cycle. When oxygen levels in the body are insufficient, pyruvate is broken down, anaerobically, to form lactic acid. Increased levels of lactic acid elicit decreased performance levels. Creatine pyruvate introduces lactic acid buffering properties and extends this process so an athlete can train for longer durations of time. Pyruvate also promotes glucose extraction from the bloodstream and into the muscle tissues.
Di-Creatine Malate Di-Creatine Malate is a highly soluble creatine salt that enhances the creatine bioavailability over regular creatine monohydrate. This particular compound of creatine is combined with malic acid, which plays a natural role in our energy cycle. Malic acid and creatine combined offers a greater rate of ATP production and may help support athletic performance and endurance.
Bioperine Bioperine is an extract from the black pepper fruit that is grown in nutrient-rich soils. This extract of piperine has been clinically tested in the United States and has been suggested support the bioavailability of various supplemental nutrients via increased absorption.
Enerplex Intensity & Focus Amplifier
L-Taurine Taurine is a derivative of the amino acid, cysteine, which contains a sulfhydryl group. It occurs naturally in seafood and meat. It has been suggested that Taurine is necessary for the proper functioning and maintenance of skeletal muscles, as well as an essential component in supporting healthy cardiovascular function.
Caffeine Caffeine is the most commonly consumed supplement in the world, as it is inexpensive, medically safe and legal. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant and promotes mental alertness, focus, and can facilitate overall body coordination. It has been suggested to increase physical endurance and delay onset of fatigue. In combination with other ingredients (as seen in Juggernaut HP), caffeine seems to aid in short-term weight reduction.
L-Tyrosine L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid with a polar side group found in foods such as fish, dairy and meat. L-tyrosine is a precursor to several neurotransmitters including epinephrine. These chemicals are in charge of various functions such as energy, mood and appetite. Tyrosine has been suggested to enhance the metabolic rate of the body.

Good Morning:
I see where several of you recommended Staples Photo Matte Supreme paper for photo cards. What type/kind of card stock would you recommend for me to use in making cards and matting for the cards described in the February 21, 2013, blog by Lei?
Thanks for any recommendations!

Hmmmm.. I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but April is great at card/printing information. And, it just so happens there's a "Creative Cards Chat" at 8pm ET tonight. If you can make it, you can ask away.
Otherwise, I'm certain someone else will come along here with an answer.

For plain white (that I'm not going to print except for text) I'd just get a ream of cardstock at the office supply store. I used to have my favorites, but I haven't bought any for a while. I'll have to check them out the next time I'm in the store.

I know that Lei likes to use Watercolor paper for her cards. I've tried it a few times and liked the results.

Thank you for the pointers. I went to Staples and Michaels and loaded up with various papers and envelopes. Now I'm waiting for the big, creative idea to hit me!

A swimming pool granuloma is a long-term (chronic) skin infection. It is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium marinum.
Aquarium granuloma; Fish tank granuloma
A swimming pool granuloma occurs when water containing Mycobacterium marinum bacteria enters a break in the skin. Signs of a skin infection appear about 2 to 3 weeks later.
Risks include exposure to swimming pools, salt water aquariums, or ocean fish.
The main symptom is a reddish bump (
The elbows, fingers, and back of the hands are the most common body parts affected. The knees and legs are less commonly affected.
The nodules may break down and leave an open sore. Sometimes, they spread up the limb. Most often they stay a simple skin sore.
The health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask about your symptoms.
Tests to diagnose swimming pool granuloma include:
Antibiotics are used to treat this infection. They are chosen based on the results of the culture and skin biopsy.
You may need several months of treatment with more than one antibiotic. Surgery may also be needed to remove dead tissue. This helps the wound heal.
Swimming pool granulomas can usually be cured with antibiotics. But, you may have scarring.
Tendon, joint, or bone infections sometimes occur. The disease may be harder to treat in patients whose immune system is not working well.
Call your health care provider if you develop reddish bumps on your skin that do not clear with home treatment.
Wash hands and arms thoroughly after cleaning aquariums. Or, wear rubber gloves when cleaning.

Genlighten is an online marketplace community for genealogy research services. Our research providers can help you find the records, relationships, and answers you're searching for. We make it easy to get the help you need, from basic document lookups to large-scale lineage studies.
Dean was introduced to genealogy by his wife, who ushered him up to the genealogy section of the local university library one night to show him the New York Times obituary for his Civil War ancestor. That was thirty years ago, and he's been hooked on family history ever since. Dean's responsibilities at Genlighten range from front-end design and Rails back-end development to inbound marketing and search-engine optimization.
Looking for a way to turn her passion for historical document research into a source of income, Cynthia taught herself HTML and CSS and built chicagogenealogy.com back in 2003. Since then, she's performed Chicago-area genealogy lookups and custom research for thousands of delighted customers. She's also served as volunteer and director at the Wilmette Family History Center. At Genlighten, Cynthia handles customer support inquiries, maintains our online help facility, and curates our community-generated content. When you call or e-mail us, she'll usually be the one you chat with.
As Cynthia's genealogy lookup business began to take off, more and more customers began asking for lookups in places other than Chicago. She saw the potential for a worldwide genealogy lookup marketplace, and by 2007 she and her husband had decided to build it. Genlighten.com opened for business in late 2009. Both clients and providers soon began asking for the site to expand beyond fixed-fee lookups to include open-ended hourly research projects as well. Work began on a completely revised site in early 2011, and Genlighten 2.0 was launched in February of 2012.
Genlighten doesn't offer searchable databases of scanned document images or user-submitted family trees like many of the best-known genealogy websites. Instead, we connect you with a community of genealogy researchers who can tap their experience, training, and problem-solving skills to help you achieve your research objectives. You can ask our "providers" questions, hire them to retrieve records for you, or engage their services to carry out research projects large and small.
Unlike "Yellow Pages"-like sites that simply list researchers for hire, we're a full-featured e-commerce platform for fee-based genealogy services. Each of our providers has a web-based "store" complete with research offerings and client reviews. You browse providers' offerings and initiate customized research projects with them. A simple-to-use interface lets you and the provider track your project every step of the way.

"I'm staying at PSU because I am committed to the 2013 team," he said via text message.
O'Brien, who led Penn State to an 8-4 record despite dealing with severe NCAA sanctions in 2012, was said to be on the short list of several NFL teams with head coaching vacancies. According to various media reports, he interviewed with the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles.
O'Brien's agent, Joseph Linta, told the Associated Press that the coach made the decision to stay at Penn State Thursday.
A former offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, O'Brien was hired at Penn State last January -- as the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal was still unfolding. It was his first head-coaching job at any level. He had the difficult task of replacing Hall of Famer Joe Paterno and dealing with the significant fallout of the scandal.
Last July, Penn State was hit with unprecedented NCAA sanctions stemming from the scandal. Yet O'Brien kept most of the team together and the Lions managed to go 8-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten.
Penn State was ineligible for the conference championship game or a bowl.
O'Brien was named Big Ten Coach of the Year and National Coach of the Year by the Maxwell Club of Philadelphia.
Earlier Thursday, one of Penn State's top committed prospects for its recruiting class of 2013 expressed little concern that O'Brien was going anywhere.
O'Brien is the Penn State football coach and I'll be playing for him, New Jersey defensive lineman Garrett Sickels told FOX Sports NEXT reporter Beth Long at practice for the U.S. Army All-America Game in San Antonio.

About the Flight TerraPass
Why buy a Flight TerraPass?
A Flight TerraPass is an innovative way to counterbalance the global warming impact of your flying. Planes use a lot of fuel. A cross-country flight burns more than 100 gallons of fuel per passenger. Airline travel already creates a significant proportion of the world's global warming pollution, and it's growing faster than any other single source.
The best way to reduce those emissions is to cut back on unnecessary trips, or to use more fuel-efficient transportation for short trips. But when you have to fly, you can use a Flight TerraPass to balance out your impact.
How does a Flight TerraPass work?
Your purchase of a Flight TerraPass results in reductions in carbon dioxide emissions through projects such as wind farms, biomass energy, and industrial efficiency. The emissions are verified by an independent third party. TerraPass is the only member of our industry to offer a published verification report.
How is the distance for each Flight TerraPass calculated?
Although the amount of carbon reductions associated with each Flight TerraPass is exact, the corresponding flight distance is only an estimate. The actual emissions per passenger from any given flight will vary based on a number of conditions, including the type of plane, the length of the trip, weather conditions, etc. The distance estimates are based on protocols developed by the World Resources Institute.
Do the distance estimates have something to do with my frequent flier plan?
No, the distance associated with each Flight TerraPass is completely unrelated to any airline's frequent flier program.

Thread: Cooling down aquarium
Hybrid View
Cooling down aquarium
Summer is fast approaching and I'm looking at ways to keep my aquarium cool. In the past during the summer my aquarium can get upwards of 83 degrees.
I've research some and think the most economical approach is using fans blowing on the surface of the water. I would like to use your guy's experience with cooling. I have a sump tank and that's where I would like to cool the water down before returning to take. I'll get some pictures of the sump tank so you guys have a better idea what I'm working with. For now, suggestions on fans?25 Gal - Tropical
Custom made Wet/Dry/Sump Filter System, AquaClear 20 Powerhead, RenaCal Excel 300 Heater, artificial plants
Fish - 7 Blackskirt Tetras, German Blue Ram, Bulldog Pleco, Assassin snail.
"Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success." King Solomon.
Pictures of my 10 Gal Sump Filtration project
I've seen some people freeze dechlorinated water in clean plastic bottles and put that in their tank or in your case you could put them in your sump.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
That's an option. Best is a chiller. Are papst fans for sale where you live?
Sure, a chiller is great if you want to throw $500 at the "problem".
My aquariums get warm in the summer too - over 80. Is there a reason you feel you have to do something about it? It's quite natural for fish to live in warmer water during the warmer months. Only in an aquarium do fish have a chance at getting a constant year round temp. Too, is that even a good thing? If you're really concerned you can clip a fan to the sump, but I would not worry too much about it. I've looked into ways to cool my tanks in years past, and decided against it. Though, with only one tank, it's not as big of a task as cooling 10 tanks. But still.
Been battling the heat and humidity here for a few years as well, can get bad during the hot summer months. Really dislike having to use the air conditioner too often, gets costly when it's on constantly. Done a few things to deal with the heat. I avoid adding to the heat during the day for my planted tanks by changing the timers so the lights come on in the early morning and in the evening. I was lucky enough to pick up some blackout curtains when they were on sale, the ones I have help act as a thermal break, keeps the heat out. In winter helps to trap the heat in. I also leave the ceiling fan on, just to helps to keep the air moving, can get horribly humid here.
I have a few screen covers for some of my aquariums made out of plastic window trim and I think bird netting. Basically just like a screen you see on windows, using that as a cover on the tank instead of glass tops that trap the heat in. Easy to cut the trim to whatever size you need, I think I bought the parts at home depot. Copied this idea from a post a local reef club member made, also bought the mesh from them. The original post http://www.atlantareefclub.org/forum...ad.php?t=34002 Was posted a few years ago and the pictures he posted are gone, but a few members posted some pics of their mesh tops.
Individually a lot of the things I posted don't do much on their own, but together they have really helped me keep the temps down.
Can buy a cheap clip on fan from walmart. Will help take temperature down a few degrees, but keep in mind it will raise the evaporation rate.
Frozen bottles of water can help but really a short term solution, have to keep replacing them too much work when you have a lot of tanks set up.
Last edited by korith; 03-19-2013 at 01:30 PM.
Good post and that's what it takes to keep the heat out. I open my doors and windows in the early morning and after dark. During the day my place is closed off and no sun is coming in. Good point with the lights, too. If there are no plants, the lights can stay off.
I have found that if the tank reaches 83, that the room is too hot for me, as well. I installed a wall air conditioner. Water chillers are "very" expensive and not for little tanks due to that cost.
But, the days that are actually too hot for an aquarium are few. Close your house off, do not allow the heat to get IN, keep tank lights off as much as possible and the fish will be fine. Temp will drop again at night.
People crank the heat up to 86-87 to treat Ick but then panic in the summer if the tank gets 83. ????

Would like to stay away from frozen bottles. I don't feel I have as much control going this route. Also I would like something that is almost maintenance free.
I'll have to look further into papst fans, what I've search thus far they appear to be high-end fans and I'm thinking expensive. Can you tell me your experience with these fans and why you recommend?
Yeah a chiller at $500 will cause more problems - with the wife. I understand these temps are not extreme, I'm sure others here have had much higher temps during the summer months. I just want to be able to control the temp a little more.
We have a home AC and electric thermostat which during the day while no one is home is set to 82. Unfortunately the room the tank is in, and only room available, I believe is the hottest room in home and I'm sure it's probably upwards of 85-86 before the AC actually kicks on.
I've had the typical floor standing fan on pointing at the aquarium with the hood open and that surprisingly does a pretty good job. However my wife was upset when she saw this and demanded I did not leave the fans on during the day. :(
So I do not think I need anything really elaborate.
It probably would help to express what I'm looking for.
1. low power consumption
2. small/compact
3. low, preferably almost no noise
4. low maintenance
5. self regulating fan according to temps or place on timer
My parent-n-laws live in Columbus GA and yeah those summer months are very humid.
That screen covers sound like a good idea, especially if I'm looking at getting some silver hatchet fish in the future. I can also adjust when and how long my lights are on, although I'll like to make this a planted take at some point and think more light would be better.
@Lady Hobbs
Yeah the room is pretty miserable to me too, though I'm not usually at home when it gets this way.
So would the consensus be 83 is not so bad? Maybe I don't need a fan, but just make other little adjustments to keep the aquarium cool or at least keep it from going up any further.25 Gal - Tropical

83 is not so bad for the short term of the hot periods of summer. I mean, people's fish ponds reach 90 degrees in the summer - if their goldfish can handle it, and they do, I think your fish will do just fine. Excellent tips were given on how to control the heat. Like what was eluded to with the black outs, the more barriers between the differing temps, the better the insulation will be (that;s why double pane windows are so much better than single).
In addition to the cost of the chiller, is the cost to run it. I actually think it would be cheaper to run a chiller on a smaller tank than a larger one, so in that regard, your tank is a good candidate for one. That all being said, if you are handy you could make your own chiller for much less, I'm sure.
what are your fish?
example: rams enjoy that 80 deg temp.
pleco's aren't a big fan of it.
so it also varies on what you are stocking.
My tanks all run at 80deg and my fish enjoy it.
i'm sure 83 wouldn't bug them too much.
another thing to check/keep covered/colder is your sump. I know that when the sun hits my cannister filter, it rises the temp in that-causing warmer tank water, ya know?

The Joy Of Being An Independent Consultant
For the last two days, I spent a fair portion of the day writing an email to the people I'm working for, explaining why I thought the software they had selected to run their corporate web server (Netscape Enterprise Server) was poorly matched to their desires (to run a dynamic corporate site for a .COM).
This is not my idea of fun. Nevertheless, I've spent the better part of a week reading the documentation on Enterprise Server, and Server-Side JavaScript, while perfectly adequate for many things, doesn't have the facilities that you can get from Apache + any number of extensions.
And the only other options are CGI (not even really worth mentioning) and Java Servlets---which I don't have an intrinsic problem with, but the lack of a community building free frameworks drives development time up, and makes this unattractive for what is supposed to be a fast-changing easy-to-maintain marketing-oriented web site.
So, I wrote the email It may cost me the contract, but if I had been told that I was going to have to use these tools before starting the contract, I might not have. Life is too short to fight against tools that aren't suited to the task you need to accomplish.
And who knows, maybe they'll agree with me...
I went to my first baseball game ever last night.
I think the thing that I like about baseball the most is that it so obviously rejects the change in the pace of life that has dramaitically reshaped our society in the last five or six decades.
Baseball doesn't have a set length---there is no play clock or time limits on inings. There is remarkably little violence, at least since Ty Cobb died (although the catcher did once look like he got nailed in an indelicate spot). And at least in the minor leagues (as we have here in Durham), the point for the players seems to be the game.
After more than a decade on the Internet, in the last two weeks, I've actually spent a fair amount of time on IRC.
I'm not sure it's worth it. While hanging around #debian-devel has been interesting (and has given me a much better picture of some of my fellow developers), I'm not sure it's all that good a use of my time.
Perhaps I'll give it another week or two.

Maimonides' tomb, located in central Tiberias, has become one of the most important Jewish pilgrimage sites in Israel.
Considered among the greatest sages of the Jewish people whose analytical abilities are admired to this day, Maimonides, known as the Rambam (the acrostic of his name), was also a physician to the Muslim ruler Saladin. He composed a special healers' prayer, the Jewish equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath, which physicians often make a point of visiting the tomb to recite.
Maimonides died in Cairo in 1204 and his remains were later re-interred in Tiberias. The walkway to the tomb is symbolic – seven columns on either side are inscribed with the names of the 14 chapters of his famed codification of the Mishnah, the Mishneh Torah, and a stream of water flows along the sides. (Maimon, his father's name, comes from the Hebrew word "mayim" – water.)

The long term purpose of this laboratory is to elucidate the neural processes underlying circadian rhythmicity. The experiments are intended to understand neural plasticity and behavioral recovery in the field of biological rhythms as studied by means of fetal grafting. In particular, we are interested in recovery of behavioral functions related to grafting of the hypothalamic region of the brain. Emphasis is placed on the neurochemical and neuroanatomical characteristics of the grafted tissue and the possible interactions between the graft and the host brain.
A second area of interest is related to the differential plasticity of the adult and developing rodent brain following epileptic seizures. Currently we are studying neurodegeneration of hippocampal areas produced by limbic seizures in an attempt to determine the mechanisms mediating resistance to damage in the developing brain.

Lake Clark
National Park and Preserve
In geologic time, the region is not particularly old. Excluding a few greenstone deposits (395-440 million years old), rock outcrops formed between the earth.s beginning (4.6 billion years ago) and 225 million years ago (end of the Paleozoic Era) are absent. This is because LACL is the scene of a dynamic, living geology. A young landscape shaped by uplift, intrusion, earthquakes, volcanism, and glaciation. The Aleutian Range in LACL is a segment of the circum-pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most active volcanic belts in the world. Quaternary volcanism in the Aleutians is the result of plate convergence, approximately 7.0 cm/year, between the American and Pacific plates (Figure 4) (Kienle and Swanson, 1983). Modern tectonism is evident from the frequent strong earthquakes and four active volcanoes in the region (Redoubt, Illiamna, Augustine, and Douglas). Clusters of shallow and deep seismicity, with some magnitudes exceeding 6.0 on the Richter scale, have been recorded beneath Iliamna, Augustine, and Douglas volcanoes (Hampton, 1982). The most recent series of eruptions in the park was by Redoubt Volcano in 1989-90.
Most of the southern portion of LACL, east of Lake Clark, consists of sedimentary andmetamorphic rock of Mesozoic age. The geology in the northern half of the park is dominated by Tertiary and Mesozoic intrusive rocks (Dale and Stottlemyer, 1986). In detail, the geology and associated structure are very complex with igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary lithologies interacting at various scales. Two major thrust faults are located within LACL (Figure 5). The Bruin Bay Fault can be traced 300 miles from Becharof Lake on the Alaska Peninsula to Mount Susitna, northwest of Anchorage, bisecting Chinitna and Tuxedni bays. The Lake Clark Fault, also referenced as the Castle Mountain Fault by Stone (1983) in Figure 4, runs approximately 80 miles to the northeast end of Lake Clark (Alaska Geographic Society, 1986).
The Lake Clark Fault underlies Lake Clark, structurally producing the lake.s long linear geometric shape. The fault is characterized by a right lateral displacement of approximately 8 miles (Ivanhoe, 1962).
Currently, there have been no comprehensive soil surveys conducted in LACL (Natural Resources Conservation Service, 1998). In fact, minimal soil survey work has been conducted in Alaska. In general, soils in LACL are young, poorly developed, extremely variable and derived from glacial or volcanic processes (Racine and Young, 1978). The land surface below 1500-2000 ft. (msl) elevation has been scoured by Pleistocene glaciation. The topography above approximately 2000 ft. (msl) is either too steep to retain soils, covered by snow and ice, or at too great an elevation for soil-forming vegetation to grow. Soils west of the northern-most lakes (Twin Lakes, Turquoise Lake and Telaquana Lake) are better developed and support suitable rangeland for a healthy caribou herd (Chamberlain, 1989).
LACL.s geographical setting and mountainous topography have resulted in several distinct physiographic regions. Racine and Young (1978) identified the following five physiographic regions within LACL.s boundary: Coastal region, Montane region (Aleutian Range, Alaska Range), Lake Clark-Kontrashibuna region, Foothill Lakes region, and Interior Lowlands region (Figure 3). The Coastal region is located in the southeastern part of the park and borders Cook Inlet. This region includes the lowlands between Cook Inlet and the upper elevations of the Aleutian Range (4000 - 5000 ft. msl). Large tidal fluctuations and glacial outwash along the coast have resulted in well-developed estuarine salt marshes. The Montane region includes the upper elevations of the Alaska and Aleutian ranges and represents a vast upland of alpine tundra, glaciers, permanent snow, ice and rock. Immediately west of the Montane region and penetrating these mountains in places along their west side are the Lake Clark-Kontrashibuna and Foothill Lakes regions. These regions are more closely related to interior and western Alaska than to the Coastal region to the east. The Lake Clark-Kontrashibuna region includes the Lake Clark watershed and constitutes low elevation valleys and mountain slopes bordering the several lakes. The Foothill Lakesregion occupies the high plains and plateaus of moraines just west of the mountains. The area is characterized by a series of large glacial lakes fed by meltwater from the Montane region. From south to north the main lakes are: Twin Lakes (1979 ft msl), Turquoise Lake (2504 ft msl), Lake Telaquana (1219 ft msl), and Two Lakes (1132 ft msl). The Interior Lowlands region occupies a small relatively flat area in the northwest corner of LACL. Drainages here include the Telaquana River and the Stony River, which flow west into the Kuskokwim River. Elevations of these broad flat valleys are low (around 1050 ft msl), and the climate is more typical of interior Alaska than the other four physiographic regions in LACL.
The Alaska and Aleutian mountain ranges form a continuous watershed divide separating the coast from the interior. LACL.s most dominant interior drainage basin is the 3000 mi2 Lake Clark drainage, which feeds Little Lake Clark, Lake Clark and Six Mile Lake (Brabets, pers. comm., 2000). The Lake Clark drainage is part of the Kvichak River Basin (see Figure 6), which drains Lake Clark (143 mi2) and Lake Iliamna, the largest lake in Alaska (1226 mi2). The 60-mile-wide basin extends northeastward from the northeast tip of Bristol Bay (Kvichak Bay) approximately 170 miles into the northwest slopes of the Aleutian Range. This basin also drains part of Katmai National Park and Preserve (Alagnak Wild River). The Kuskokwim River Basin drains the Stony, Necons, and Telaquana rivers, located in the northern portion of Lake Clark National Preserve, into Kuskokwin Bay. This large basin is approximately 500 miles long and averages 100 miles in width. The Nushagak River Basin drains the Mulchatna and Chilikadrotna rivers, located along the western portion of LACL, into Bristol Bay and is approximately 220 miles long and 100 miles wide. Along LACL.s eastern boundary is the coastal drainage basin, which includes the Chakachatna River Basin. Streams along the coast drain the eastern mountain slopes to Cook Inlet (U.S. Department of the Interior, 1952). These coastal drainage basins include the following park drainages: Chilligan River, Igitna River, Neacola River, Drift River, Crescent River, Tuxedni River, Johnson River, and West Glacier Creek. The major drainage basins within LACL.s boundary are presented in Figure 6.
Glaciers, Lake Ice, and Snowpack
As evident in Figure 7, the hydrologic cycle in the park is influenced in part by extensive glaciers and snowfields that supply vast quantities of silty meltwater to the headwaters of drainage basins during the summer months. Glacial ice, much of it associated with Redoubt and Iliamna volcanoes, covers approximately 30% of the park. Most of the glaciers in the park have retreated dramatically in the last four decades, which indicates that melting is occurring faster than snow accumulation (National Park Service, 1999a). Seasonal ice and snow cover affects the characteristics of aquatic ecosystems. They control the amount of light reaching the unfrozen water beneath the ice (Prowse and Stephenson, 1986). Ice can also prevent gas exchange between underlying waters and the atmosphere and may commonly lead to depletion of dissolved oxygen and the build up of reduced gasses such as CO2, CH4 and H2S (Rouse et al., 1997). The processes accompanying ice formation during freeze-up and break-up have a wide range of effects on the bed, banks, and biota of lakes and rivers. These include frazil ice (aggregate of ice crystals formed in supercooled turbulent water) impact on fish and invertebrates, anchor ice growth, elevated water levels, channel blockage and increased scouring (Prowse, 1994.) The snow line in LACL begins between 4000 . 5000 ft msl on the east side of the mountain ranges and approximately 8000 ft msl on the west side (Karlstrom, 1964). The overall absence of advanced forest at the higher elevations allows for little mitigation of runoff waters. Water quality from melt water in LACL is likely influenced by the bedrock (Dale and Stottlemyer, 1986).
Although permafrost is not prevalent in LACL, it is distributed sporadically at considerable depth in isolated areas of predominately fine soils where insulation is high (Chamberlain, 1989). Permafrost can influence the hydrologic cycle. For example, permafrost can impede precipitation from recharging aquifer systems. This could result in a greater surface runoff contribution to lake and stream recharge.
Coastal Environments
LACL.s marine shoreline extends north from Chinitna Bay approximately 125 miles to Redoubt Point. According to an inventory of the physical and biological resources of LACL.s coastline prepared by Bennett (1996), LACL.s coastal environments are among the most important and biologically productive ecosystems in the Gulf of Alaska. The trophic relationship between shorebirds, seabirds, ducks and intertidal infauna may represent the most significant predator-prey relationships along the park.s coastline (National Park Service, 1999a). Table 3 provides an inventory summary of the park.s coastal environments. Salt marsh and mud flats make up most of LACL.s coastline (22% of the total length each; and 42% and 24% of the total area, respectively). The management of lands along the LACL coastline can be complex since large blocks of land were conveyed to native corporations or are still being adjudicated under the Lands Act (Bennett, 1996).
Volcanic Environments
There are two active volcanoes within the boundaries of LACL; Redoubt and Iliamna. Extensive physical changes in riparian and aquatic habitats have resulted from volcanic induced disturbances in the Cook Inlet region. Along with ash deposition, eruptions in the region have caused massive inputs of water and sediment into stream channels emanating from glaciers and snowfields on the volcanoes (Dorava and Milner, 1999). Redoubt Volcano is drained on the north by the Drift River, on the east by Redoubt Creek, and on the south by the Crescent River, all of which flow into Cook Inlet. The volcano has produced at least 30 large tephra-forming eruptions during the past 10,000 years. Eruptions in 1902, 1966, 1968, and 1989-90 produced ash and generated floods in the Drift River by melting part of the volcano.s extensive glacial cover (Till et al., 1992).
The 1989-90 volcanic eruptions altered the hydrologic and geomorphic conditions of a 126-mi2 area north and east of the volcano. Volcanic activities that affected the watershed include an ice and rock avalanche, pyroclastic surge and flow, and lahars (mudflows composed chiefly of volcaniclastic materials). The eruptions melted and eroded snow and glacial ice, destroyed riparian vegetation, filled the valley bottom with sediment, and altered stream channel geometry (Dorava et al., 1993) In 1990, a study of Lake Clark (Stottlemyer, 1990) was conducted to repeat the basic limnological measurements recorded during a 1985-87 multiple lake study (Chamberlain, 1989) to determine how physical properties of Lake Clark and surrounding lakes may have been altered by ash inputs from the 1989-90 Redoubt eruption. According to Stottlemyer (1990), turbidity was considerably higher throughout Lake Clark after the eruption, decreasing light penetration and reducing the lake volume in which phytoplankton can photosynthesize by more than 70%. Some impacts from volcanic eruptions are short-term (< 5 years), while others last much longer. In comparing macroinvertebrate community composition in the Drift River, after the 1989-90 Redoubt eruption with nearby undisturbed streams, Dorava and Milner (1999) found the Drift River macroinvertebrate communities still recovering after 5 years.
Minerals Extraction
Under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1976 (ANCSA), the Cook Inlet Region Corporation (CIRI) received title to approximately 21,000 acres of land known as the .Johnson River Tract. located on the west side of Cook Inlet in LACL. The Johnson River Tract is divided into two tracts. The northern tract is 9,600 acres of mineral estate; the southern tract is 11,342 acres of surface and subsurface estate. An ancillary camp and airstrip were constructed at the headwaters of the Johnson River in 1983. Since then, mineral exploration has been continuous. A high-grade deposit of copper, silver, lead, zinc, and gold has been delineated from a 1993 exploratory drilling program in the area. CIRI is investigating possible partnerships to extract the deposits, which includes exploratory engineering and economic feasibility of access routes from the deposits to Cook Inlet [Cook Inlet Region, Inc. and Westmin Resources Limited (1994), National Park Service (1999a)]. The Johnson River headwaters have the potential to become the largest commercial mining operation within an Alaskan park. Based on the current size estimate of the ore body, approximately 270,000 tons of ore would be mined and transported annually over a 3-year mine life (National Park Service, 1999a). Due to the proximity of the planned mine and support network of roads and ore stockpiles to the Johnson River, there is a high potential for contaminants to reach the Johnson River estuary and be transported along the coastline by prevailing tidal currents (Bennett, 1996). CIRI maintains that conveyances and transportation easements granted under ANCSA are exempt from the requirements of NEPA, and a formal decision is pending. CIRI and Westmin Resources Ltd. prepared an environmental assessment in 1993, but it only addressed the selection of a transportation corridor across NPS land and a port site as granted by ANCSA. Fuel would be barged to the port site and pumped to upland storage facilities with a capacity of approximately 400,000 gallons. Fuel would be transported by truck from these storage tanks to the mine location (National Park Service, 1999a). Obvious environmental concerns related to accidental petroleum spills will exist during the life of the mining operation. Along with the threat of petroleum spills, contamination may leach from ore stockpiles into local streams (i.e., Johnson River, Bear Creek). Erosion problems (e.g., accelerated soil loss, increased stream turbidity) could also develop along access roads. To provide some baseline information for this high-profile area, the U.S. Geological Survey and NPS are collecting geochemical data from the Johnson River watershed and monitoring Johnson River discharge at a telemetered gaging station. There are other potential mining activities in the region that also pose natural resource concerns for LACL. For example, Cominco, an international mining corporation, has filed state mining claims on the Pebble/Copper deposit north of Lake Iliamna. If developed, this open pit mine would be the largest in Alaska. Although development would occur 15 miles southwest of LACL, direct impacts on air and water quality may have substantial effects on park resources (National Park Service, 1999a).

Wild, Spectacular Scenic Diversity
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is a composite of ecosystems representative of many diverse regions throughout Alaska. The spectacular scenery is unrivaled. The recreational opportunities are varied and plentiful. Although continuously inhabited since early prehistoric times, the area remains wild and sparsely populated, with aircraft providing the primary means of access. Within the park the mountains of the Alaska and the Aleutian Ranges join. The Chigmits, an awesome, jagged array of mountains, are the result of centuries of
- uplifting,
- intrusion,
- earthquakes,
- volcanism, and
- glacial action.
The range's eastern flank descends rapidly to Cook Inlet. Rivers cascade dramatically to the sea through forests of Sitka and white spruce. The coastal cliffs, holding fossil remnants of 150 million years of sea life, are stark counterpoints to the active volcanoes and glacial streams that are reshaping the landscape. On marshes and outwash plains, swans and other waterfowl nest. The rocky cliffs in and adjacent to the park provide rookeries for puffins, cormorants, kittiwakes, and other seabirds. Seals and whales may occasionally be observed off shore.
The western flank of the Chigmit Mountains descends through tundra covered foothills to boreal forest. Spectacular lakes and wild rivers fill the valleys, flowing southwestward to Bristol Bay. Fish include five species of salmon, rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, lake trout, northern pit and arctic grayling. Dan sheep, caribou, and moose forage the area. Brown and black bear are present, as well as wolves, lynx, foxes, and other mammals.
This western side of the park and preserve provides many recreation opportunities:
- Anglers find trophy fish;
- hikers explore high tundra slopes;
- river runners thrill to the Tlikakila, Mulchatna, or Chilikadrotna Wild Rivers; and
- campers find lakeshore sites inspirational.
This vast area also may be harsh. Planning and preparing for a wilderness experience is critical to the enjoyment of the area in all conditions: wind, rain, snow, and sunshine.
Winter is long-October through April. In some locations the sun does rise above the peaks for several months. A fresh snow can veil the area majestically or winter winds may uncover a landscape of subtle brown highlighted by ice-blue frozen lakes. Break-up in spring can immobilize the area, as ice melts and frozen ground turns to mud. Summer is the time of life as caribou calve, buds turn to leaves, mosquitoes hatch, and salmon return to spawn. Clouds often cap the Chigmit Mountains and occasionally close the passes to aircraft. Precipitation is about a third less on the west side, but everywhere rain produces a summer floral display. Fireweed, lupine, blueberry, and berry abound. In autumn the burgundy hued tundra blankets the slopes around aptly named Turquoise Lake. A light dusting of snow over fellow birch and red bearberry produces a truly rare visual pleasure.
The area has been occupied since prehistoric times and archeological investigations are continuing to trace early settlement. Dena'ina Indians lived in villages at Kijik and Old Village until the early 1900s, when they moved to Nondalton and other sites. Russian explorers, traders, and missionaries began traversing the region in the 1790s. The salmon industry began attracting American and foreign settlers in the early 1900s. Around Lake Clark most were trappers and miners. Recent years have produced an economy based on subsistence lifestyles, commercial fishing, and recreation activities.
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve was established on December 2, 1980. The park contains approximately 1 million hectares (2.6 million acres); the preserve contains 565,000 hectares (1.4 million acres). Wilderness designation has been placed on 970,000 hectares (2.4 million acres) of the total.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
WIPO's Provisional Committee on Proposals Related to a WIPO Development Agenda is meeting in Geneva this week to continue discussions about establishing a Development Agenda for WIPO - a set of proposals for measuring the impact of WIPO's work on social and economic development in its member states. Two years after they started, the Development Agenda discussions now involve a wide-ranging set of proposals, including requiring WIPO to recalibrate its technical assistance program (WIPO's practice of advising developing countries on how to set up their IP systems), and to develop mechanisms to protect the Public Domain. The discussions may be obscure, but they are important. The WIPO Development Agenda offers the possibility of creating global intellectual property laws that balance rightsholders' interests with the human rights of the world's citizens for access to medicine and knowledge.
It's been just over a week since the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights met in Geneva with the intention of finalizing a new signal-based Broadcasting Treaty to be the basis of negotiations at an inter-governmental Diplomatic Conference scheduled for November. However, after three days of intense meetings, it's impossible to say with any certainty what a new version of the treaty would say.
The 183 member states of the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization are gathered in Geneva this week to discuss the controversial draft WIPO Broadcasting Treaty. EFF's main concern with the current treaty draft - shared by the other 40 public interest groups, companies and industry groups that have submitted a joint statement to WIPO this week - is that it is not limited to signal theft.
The negotiations have been tough (we hear), but the 2007 WIPO General Assemblies have come to a close with two huge victories for the public interest. On the Broadcasting Treaty, while the GA agreed to convene a Diplomatic Conference in November/December 2007, we now have two welcome safeguards in place (document after the jump).
EFF is back in Geneva to report on the 2006 General Assemblies of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This is the large annual meeting where progress is measured and paths are charted for the coming year. We're here to cover two issues in particular: the WIPO Development Agenda and the proposed broadcasting treaty. At issue are how discussions on the Development Agenda will proceed in 2007, and whether to approve a recent subcommittee recommendation to convene a diplomatic conference (what the cool kids call a "dipcon") in 2007. The goal of the treaty is to provide broadcasters with protection against those who would re-broadcast their signals without permission. The two dominant approaches to achieving this goal are 1) rights-based, creating new copyright-like rights for broadcasters over recordings and retransmissions, and 2) signal-based, creating penalties for the unauthorized interception and redistribution of a broadcast signal.

Maine University Tries Out River Ferry as Low-Carbon Transportation Alternative
October 26th, 2012 | by Jeff McIntire-Strasburg
Does your college or university campus offer car or bike sharing? Discounted transit passes? These are common ways to encourage students to leave their cars at home. Maine's University of New England, though, took a unique step by implementing the country's only river ferry service run by an academic institution

Time for my annual posting to Advogato - which almost always coincides with the Elections to the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors.
Its a strange one this time, with fewer candidates. Indeed, at least one certainty for the board was discounted due to a late candidacy submission. This is not a bad thing, almost all of the candidates have merit this time around - its not going to be quite the popularity contest it has been in the past.
I also applaud the Membership Committee for taking tough decisions and sticking to them. Something I tried to do with little success when I was involved. Still, I think perhaps the silliness of last years events had helped to make things a little less painful for the committee. They are excellent people, and deserve recognition for doing an almost completely unsung job.
The board is doing useful things - perhaps with the cult of personality removed, people will recognise this?
Electioneering is probably not welcome here, but I have to say that any Board of Directors with jdub and gman on board is going to generate progress and soundbites by the bucketload!

Alinsky was a very intelligent person. This is the reason way his mythology of community organizing was so successful and is a key strategy of the democrat party today. Also, it is the main reason the current leaders of the republican cannot grow a pair and successfully address these tactics.
This is why wouldn't the Tea Party organizations use their own tactics? "Fighting fire with fire". It is common knowledge they have and will continue to use his book and why the Republican Party is so concerned about this group. They where pretty good students in 2010.

You may have seen the new packing for the Hasbro Obi Wan figure - see pic.
But what else is in the pack - is it a ship or some kind of droid?
You may have seen the new packing for the Hasbro Obi Wan figure - see pic.
But what else is in the pack - is it a ship or some kind of droid?
once ya start, ya can't quit!
looks like we'll start having to collect potj crap if we wann git new mm's
np: pil - disapointed
what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding
POTJ, crap?
"I think you underestimate the line!" Have you not seen the Neimoidian EP1 figs? Apart from Nute's unfortunate hand position, they're superdetailed face-wise. I just wish they wouldn't make the feet longer than the cloaked or caped figures. (DS being the exception)
and if i'm to buy potj stuff so's i can get some new micro machines (which he plays with always!), i'll be knee deep in toys which will not be played with.
maybe hasbro is just trying to kick start interest in the mm sci fi line by including mm's in the potj stuff, which they know will sell cause of it's history of collectabillity. and maybe the demand will then grow for a separate mm line which will stand on it's own.
what i can't figure out, is that micro scaled toys have always sold well (matchbox, hotwheels, etc.). kids usally like to have alot of these guys, cause they're fun to paly with, don't take up alot of room, and are easily transportable.
i'm jes keepin' my fingers crossed that hasbro will release new micro machines, and not just action fleet.
np: aerosmith - dream on

what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding
Actually, there is no confirmation that that is the final version of that pack, and I think it's more than likely just a droid or something. Look at the lightsaber, more than likely this is a prototype just made to show off the new packaging ideas. 'Course I'm probably the only person thinking everything in the image is just a prototipical version and not any type of final version....cept maybe Obi-Wan's head.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
cuz compared to mms, it EEZ crap! "if it's not scottish, it's crrraapp!"
hey jdah, have You seen the potj duros? he's kinda cool & makes yer nimoydians look derivative
i agree w/gsj, we mm collectors'll have plenty of cause to resent any further lumpin in of mm with non-mm product
I hope it ain't a droid - although it does look similar to those tagging drones from Star Trek Insurrection.
Looks like She-Ra's choker to me (wasn't He-man her choker?) or a gold romulan ship.
I believe I was possibly the first person to bring up the connection between the Duros character and Neimoidians as this occured to me on 15th July 1999 (the day I saw EP1) so derivative this
I think BC3's right, it's got to be some kind of drone or sumpin.
GSJ, I am sure mms will reincarnate and you won't have to rely on such slim pickings.
I'm told it is a droid from the film that Obi-Wan does battle with. I won't get into it any further, but it supposedly fits in with an early scene.
Speaking of Nemoidians and their inappropriate hand positions, I made this file (attached) waaaaay back in July '99, the gag is a bit mature and is in the details.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
that's good news that it is not a mm tie in
however, i am not convinced, unfortunately , that mm's will in fact reincarnate jeddah, it's been almost two years since the last new sci fi mm, that was packaged on it's own, hit the shelves (titan ae phoenix, and stinger) , the only other new sci fi mm's have been tie ins (sith repaint, holo royal starship, holo deathstar 2). i hope i'm jes being unnecessarily pessimistic, but i do believe that i am seeing a trend taking place here
np: muzzle - a song for superclones of the future

Blunt trauma to the abdomen is a major component of traumatic injury and can be deadly. Blunt trauma can occur during falls, motor vehicle accidents, or severe blows to the abdomen.
Often it is difficult to determine if an intra-abdominal injury has occurred in a blunt trauma victim. In many cases, the decision about when to perform an exploratory laparotomy surgery is not straightforward. One procedure used to determine whether blunt trauma victims require surgery is diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL). DPL helps determine whether an intra-abdominal injury exists and whether sugery is required. Using local anesthesia, the surgeon makes a small incision in the abdomen just below the umbilicus.
A catheter is introduced through the incision into the abdomen. Saline is infused into the abdomen through the catheter, and then removed. If blood is present in the saline after removal, it is highly probable that there is a serious intra-abmoninal injury.
CT scans are also used to detect intra-abdominal injury in trauma patients and are a valuable adjunct to DPL. The combination of DPL and CT scan allows surgeons to minimize the incidence of unnecessary laparotomy in trauma patients.

I'll throw in another obligatory Star Wars quote (and I used the Gundark quote before you had this surgery):
"It's so good to see you fully functioning again."

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Glad you are doing well, Josh. Now go out and make a toy run!!

I thought things looked brighter in San Diego! I thought it was the sun, but it was Josh's smile instead!
Glad things went well!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Thanks for all the cheers guys. They're a large part of what is causing me to smile.
I couldn't bring myself to make a toy run this morning btw. I woke up at 4am or so (when the nurses come in to draw blood and take your vitals). Of course that doesn't happen when you're at home, but my internal clock is still programmed to expect it. By the time Target would be getting set to open, I was finally tired and drugged up enough to want to stay lying down. (Pain-killers are not "just optional" when you've been cut open like I have been.)
It's awesome to know that you're feeling great!

Steve and I thought this might be a bit off the beaten path of general Star Wars discussions held here.
But recently a big deal is being made about these Kubricks figures.
I don't know much more about them and haven't seen them personally, so I'll shut up.
But for those of you who have some more to discuss, please post whatever information or opinions you have to offer.

Dr T Ramasami, secretary, Department of Science & Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India
India's Department of Science and Technology (DST), which was established in May 1971 with the objective of promoting new areas of science, has emerged as a nodal department for organizing, coordinating and promoting science-related activities in the country. Dr T Ramasami, secretary, Department of Science & Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, in an interview with BioSpectrum speaks about the role of DST and the future of Indian science, among other things.
What is the role of DST in promoting life sciences research in India?
DST is mandated to promote scientific inquiry in India without making choices and selection. DST doesn't need to specifically focus on certain sectors like pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, as there are separate departments to take care of them. We are the largest players in life sciences research, with the number of projects totaling 200, 29 percent of which belong to the domain of biotechnology. It is worth mentioning that the Technology Development Board under the guidance of DST has funded ground breaking projects like Bharat Biotech's project on Revac B, by providing around $58, 181 (Rs32 lakh) worth of loan. The result was the delivery of a product at an unbelievable price of one-dollar-per-dose.
Is there a need to increase funding in India?
Overall, there is 20 percent increase in funding every four-to-five years. We also have to keep in mind the absorption capacity of the industry and academia. One thing to remember is that, it is not the funding that requires to be celebrated but we must see that the right ideas don't suffer due to lack of support. We have to ensure that funds reach the most deserving projects. Having said that, I am certain that Indian science won't suffer due to lack of funding.
What is more important, research publications or products?
A plant nursery keeper doesn't know which seed sprouts. Hence, we don't talk about fruits to him. Neither do we talk about the research publications nor do we bother much about the product outcomes. We select ideas and our organization is the foundation that looks at ideas with value.
What is the future of Indian science?
Indian science has come a long way. Since policy is a marginal instrument to bring about societal change, deep policy revaluations need to be done from time-to-time. Public-private partnerships have to go hand-in-hand and this model is highly relevant for the R&D. Today the word innovation is driven by competition. However, the real benefit is received when the fruit is not only enjoyed by the intellectual property rights (IPR) holder but also the masses at large.

The new class is called PCSK9 inhibitors. An FDA advisory panel on Tuesday recommended that the agency approve t"...
(colesevelam hydrochloride) Tablets and Oral Suspension
WELCHOL (colesevelam hydrochloride) is a non-absorbed, polymeric, lipid-lowering and glucoselowering agent intended for oral administration. Colesevelam hydrochloride is a high-capacity bile acid-binding molecule.
Colesevelam hydrochloride is poly(allylamine hydrochloride) cross-linked with epichlorohydrin and alkylated with 1-bromodecane and (6-bromohexyl)-trimethylammonium bromide. The chemical name (IUPAC) of colesevelam hydrochloride is allylamine polymer with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, [6- (allylamino)-hexyl]trimethylammonium chloride and N-allyldecylamine, hydrochloride. The chemical structure of colesevelam hydrochloride is represented by the following formula:
wherein (a) represents allyl amine monomer units that have not been alkylated by either of the 1- bromodecane or (6-bromohexyl)-trimethylammonium bromide alkylating agents or cross linked by epichlorohydrin; (b) represents allyl amine units that have undergone cross-linking with epichlorohydrin; (c) represents allyl amine units that have been alkylated with a decyl group; (d) represents allyl amine units that have been alkylated with a (6-trimethylammonium) hexyl group, and m represents a number ≥ 100 to indicate an extended polymer network. A small amount of the amines are dialkylated, and are not depicted in the formula above. No regular order of the groups is implied by the structure; cross-linking and alkylation are expected to occur randomly along the polymer chains. A large amount of the amines are protonated. The polymer is depicted in the hydrochloride form; a small amount of the halides are bromide. Colesevelam hydrochloride is hydrophilic and insoluble in water.
WELCHOL Tablets are an off-white, oval, film-coated, solid tablet containing 625 mg colesevelam hydrochloride. In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), and acetylated monoglyceride. The tablets are imprinted using a water-soluble black ink.
WELCHOL for Oral Suspension is a citrus-flavored, white to pale yellow powder containing yellow granules packaged in single-dose packets containing either 1.875 gram or 3.75 gram colesevelam hydrochloride. In addition, each packet contains the following inactive ingredients: lemon flavor, orange flavor, propylene glycol alginate, simethicone, aspartame, citric acid, medium chain triglycerides, and magnesium trisilicate.
WELCHOL for Oral Suspension contains 13.5 mg phenylalanine per 1.875 gram dose and 27 mg phenylalanine per 3.75 gram dose.
What are the possible side effects of colesevelam (Welchol)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using colesevelam and call your doctor at once if you have severe constipation or stomach pain.
Less serious side effects may include:
- mild constipation;
- nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, gas, indigestion;
- feeling weak or tired;
- headache;
- muscle pain; or
- runny nose, sore throat, flu symptoms.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may...

What are the precautions when taking colesevelam hcl (Welchol)?
Before taking colesevelam, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: pancreatitis (caused by high triglyceride levels), high triglyceride levels, trouble swallowing, stomach/intestinal disorders (such as constipation, blockage, gastroparesis), recent major intestinal surgery, hemorrhoids.
Because this drug can interfere with the absorption of certain vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, K) when used for a long period of time, your doctor may direct you to take a multivitamin supplement....
