in this age of corporate hypocrisy, it amazes me how any company has fanboys at all.
They did ask for his resume when they rejected his app.
The whole thing is ridiculous. I'm a huge Apple hater but only because usually it's Apple claiming this nonsense *cough app store* but it's clearly an obvious idea that iPhones competitors already do. And his logo is just a composition of the universal icons for Sync and Wifi. (Then again his logo is substantially more legible, so bravo to him)
And I'm sure he used some interesting and impressive hacks to trick the iphone into wirelessly syncing. Apple has no need to do that, they can just add APIs directly to the OS so there is no need to steal his code.
Furthermore, even the developer doesn't seem to care.
That's BS. It's the exact same functionality with the exact same name and damn near the exact same logo. If it were one or two of those things, I might be willing to chalk it up to coincidence or obviousness. But the whole trifecta? After Apple engineers have had exclusive access to his app and acknowledged that they were impressed by it? And after it's been highly visible on Cydia? (If you don't think Apple engineers are looking at Cydia apps, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you...) To pretend like it's all just some big coinkidink?
No sir, I don't buy it, not for a damn minute. I think they were impressed with his app so much that they decided to add it to their own feature list to be implemented, turn it down to deny him money and reputation he should have been earning, saw it doing well on Cydia, and pushed it out as an "upgrade" so that everyone will be zealously adoring of how smart they are for something they should have had working from day one and that someone else smarter than them figured out before they could.
This was blatant abuse of their power as gatekeeper of the one and only official app store. It's disgusting, and while I'm usually not a fan of IP lawsuits, I hope this guy wins a million or three in damages for what Apple denied to him. He has provable damages and has them dead to rights for wholesale stealing his work. In the US, this would be an obvious violation of copyright and probably trademark too. Hopefully in the UK they have similar enough laws that it would be there, too.
And what the hell difference does it make if they asked him for his résumé? Did they offer him a job? Apparently not. If anything, that sounds patronizing to me, kind of like, "Let's dote some praise on the guy whose work we're going to steal. Maybe he'll just stupidly go away and not bother us."
And yeah, it pisses me off even more that these are the same bastards that go after people who have the unmitigated gall to call something iWhatever or offer to sell apps in a--gasp!--app store!
That's enough. I, personally, submitted a feedback request to Apple FOUR YEARS AGO requesting Wireless Synchronization for my very first iPhone. Not to mention that practically every Apple and iPhone and industry tech blogger known to man have ALSO requested the same exact feature for years now. Google it.
Or do you think they watch Cydia, but don't read their own mail nor follow industry bloggers and journalists?
Second, as has been said, the logo is an obvious mashup of the Apple logo for iSync and the AirPort WiFi logo. iSync is eight years old. AirPort (and the WiFi application logo) are TWELVE years old. So who copied whom, here?
Third, Apple's logo is for the feature, not an app. WiFI sync is baked into the OS.
Finally, Apple rejected his app not due to some conspiracy, but because in order to sync the iTunes library you have to break the application directory sandboxing rule, and that's an automatic fail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
That's enough. I, personally, submitted a feedback request to Apple FOUR YEARS AGO requesting Wireless Synchronization for my very first iPhone.
So... iOS 5 was your idea?
That's enough. I, personally, submitted a feedback request to Apple FOUR YEARS AGO requesting Wireless Synchronization for my very first iPhone. Not to mention that practically every Apple and iPhone and industry tech blogger known to man have ALSO requested the same exact feature for years now. Google it.
And yet, they didn't actually implement this feature until after this guy had submitted his app.
Or do you think it's been in development for four years?
And I'm sure he used some interesting and impressive hacks to trick the iphone into wirelessly syncing.
Well **IF** he went the undocumented API route then there would be no conspiracy regarding the app rejection. Undocumented APIs are an automatic rejection, it may even be part of the automated prescreening process -- completely automated, no human judgement call.
Microsoft were guilty of anti-competitive behaviour for allowing their apps to use undocumented APIs in Windows. It seems like Apple is doing exactly the same thing but worse because they can ban things from the App Store, which is the only non-hack way of getting apps onto the phone. In fact they got into hot water over banning apps that "duplicate functionality" (i.e. compete with them) before.
Why shouldn't there be two wireless sync apps for iOS? Maybe someone can come up with a better solution than Apple, give users a choice.
Furthermore, even the developer doesn't seem to care.
From TFA:
Since the official rejection, Hughes's app has become one of the most popular offered in the Cydia store, with more than 50,000 sold in the past 13 months. Throughout that time, Wi-Fi Sync has cost $9.99, not including occasional promotional discounts. Hughes declined to say how much he has grossed in sales [...]
Maybe that's why he's not interested. And maybe that's also why Apple didn't feel the need to pay him for his efforts...
In economics, a monopoly (from Greek monos / (alone or single) + polein / (to sell)) exists when a specific individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it.
The main issue is leverage. Can anyone argue that Apple *doesn't* have leverage?
Not enough leverage, despite the claims of fanboys that Apple is the dominant smartphone provider.
They're actually #3, though supporters like to claim they're #2 by including all iOS devices, regardless of whether they can make actual phone calls or not.
But in this case the important market statistic is not the number of *smartphones* sold, it's the number of smartphone *apps* sold. The monopoly in question is developer access to the platform, not customer access.
Besides, who really give a crap about market share by units? Market share by profit margin is all that really matters. Apple makes a metric crapload of money on each device (the Android manufacturers make a lot less, and Google makes almost nothing).
And more relevant to this thread, Apple has almost 70% of the smartphone app market by number of apps, and over 90% of the market by sales. Statistics over the last year have clearly shown Android users just don't like paying for apps the way iPhone users do. That's more than enough leverage over app developers.
Didn't Microsoft lose an anti-trust suit (2002) for using undocumented Windows APIs to their own advantage against independent developers? Why should Apple be different?
Because Microsoft had a monopoly on the operating system market, Apple doesn't have a monopoly on the smarphone market.
Hmmm no. You don't have to have 100% marketshare to be a monopolist, but enough to negatively effect both customers and competitors.
Which Microsoft obviously had in spades.
By the same token, Apple has a monopoly on the iOS market.
Riiiight. Just like Nintendo has a "monopoly" on Wii's and Ford has a "monopoly" on Mustangs.
You're using that word, "monopoly", it it doesn't mean whatever it is you think it means.
Why should Apple be different?
Because the situation is completely different.
MS used undocumented OS features in Office, leveraging their OS to advantage in selling a separate expensive app suite which was in direct competition with third party products in a standard category of user app software.
In this case, the app, which broke stated rules in using a private API, clearly was treading in areas relating to core OS functionality. Users must not be subjected to modifications that may break when the OS is updated. A syncing utility can strongly affect network traffic, device speed, bandwidth costs, battery life, local or remote data loss or corruption... (error handling must account for many possible situations). Clearly such sensitive areas are appropriately controlled by Apple in order to uniformly achieve optimal performance.
Apple is not selling a competing app.
Some of the things Apple has developed or enhanced have been made open source in the interests of advancing the art, and can actually be used by competitors.
I believe a couple of those technologies would be called on by a well written syncing utility. Bonjour a service discovery protocol, and launchd a unified, service management framework for starting, stopping and managing daemons, applications, processes, and scripts. Obviously Apple started working with syncing many years ago.
Apple has promoted open-standards and has put a great deal of effort into Webkit, an open source browser technology that is widely used (in Apple's Safari, and also on Android)
There are people that look for excuses to bash Apple. This isn't a situation where that is appropriate. Someone submitted an app that broke rules, and now some whine about the consequences. It's destructive and distracting enough when political parties banter over nonsense. Shouldn't people with some technological understanding attempt to rise above that sort of thing? Time to move along...

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Webkit [wikimedia.org]
That's hardly an adequate explanation. I'll bet that iPhone SDK does not specify a bird throwing API... so surely Angry Birds is in violation for doing "things not specified in the official iPhone software developers' kit" too
well obviously they are alluding to it using undocumented APIs.
And Microsoft believed the same of the web browser. Is bundling ok now?
So whenever an outside party thinks of an idea that would be better suited at the OS level, they shouldn't be allowed to publish it at all?
Not only that, but they apparently had other grounds for rejecting it as well, such as the fact that it used private APIs, from the sounds of things in the article. That alone is grounds for a rejection.
And yeah, both the name and logo were obvious, non-trademarked, and based on existing ideas. What else would you call something that syncs over Wi-Fi besides "Wi-Fi Sync"? I didn't even realize it was an official name of the service during the keynote, and just thought it was the term used to describe what it does. And using the Wi-Fi and syncing insignias only makes sense, as you point out.
Plus, they added Wi-Fi Sync as part of their effort to cut the cord, which tied in with the iCloud announcement, and it's not like iCloud was thought up yesterday, given that they had to build that massive data center in North Carolina which has been covered extensively.
And yeah, both the name and logo were obvious, non-trademarked, and based on existing ideas. What else would you call something that syncs over Wi-Fi besides "Wi-Fi Sync"?
I know you're right... but somehow I don't think that's going to stop Apple registering them. I mean, what else are you going to call a store that sells apps?
"Secondly, the logo combines the wireless logo (which is standard and is not an invention of this student) with the sync logo (two arrows round a circle) which is again standard and predates this student's app.
Someone trolled "fanboi" but let's take a look at that logo...
Hmm, Apple Airport - released in 1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort). Note that wireless icon there, it looks rather familiar, eh? If you click the picture, you'll note the original picture was uploaded in April 2007 (http://upload.
I can almost buy the logo explanation, but if the rest of your explanation is true, it's almost as bad as Apple stealing the app, because it indicates a private set of tests that will be applied to an app, namely "Maybe we're developing our own app, your app will compete it with it, therefore we're going to squash your app."
Quite frankly, your explanation turns Apple from a thief into a capricious pack of assholes. I'm not sure which is worse, from a developer's point of view.
Secondly, the logo combines the wireless logo (which is standard and is not an invention of this student) with the sync logo (two arrows round a circle) which is again standard and predates this student's app. Combining the two in the obvious way makes sense and it is hard to think of a better way of doing it.
That it is an obvious combination is irrelevant. Trademarks are first-come, first-served. The only question is whether the developer applied for trademark protection. If he did, he would win against Ap

I wish I could come up with a rejection that earned me a few hundred grand. He must be crying while rolling around in all that money.
You would have been richer had you spent more time on real work than throwing sarcastic comments at others' well-reserved successes.
like how apple stole hardware tech from nokia, ericsson, etc and never paid them royalties?
Both Logos are a combination of the universal wifi symbol, and the universal sync symbol.
Not to mention they are both called 'WiFi Sync'...so they've taken a bunch of obvious features and packaged them together, I agree there's nothing wrong with that but I do seem to remember them suing a company for doing exactly that.
Let me save you a few minutes RTFA.
an app for wirelessly syncing iPhones with iTunes libraries
... is such an obvious idea that talking about "stealing" it is meaningless. It is also something that has existed for some time on other platforms - e.g. Samsung Android phones can do wireless sync of pretty much everything since Galaxy S. So he can't claim the idea.
Cupertino wasn't even subtle about the appropriation, using the precise name and a near-identical logo to market the technology
Let me clarify something here. The precise name in question is "Wi-Fi Sync". For an application that syncs your phone over wireless. Gee, that's one obscure name for this kind of app - no way Apple could have
The precise name in question is "Wi-Fi Sync". For an application that syncs your phone over wireless. Gee, that's one obscure name for this kind of app - no way Apple could have stumbled onto that by chance!
I agree with you but FWIW I would have thought they would have used a name like AirSync or something.
I googled around, and, apparently, AirSync used to be a Microsoft product [ctcnetworks.com]. I bet that was trademarked.
I don't think anyone is bashing Apple because they decided to implement an obvious feature with an obvious name and an obvious icon in their phone. The bashing is due to rejecting an app and then implemented the feature set in their OS.
Regardless of how you try and sugar coat it what Apple did was flat out anti-competitive. If you replace the word Apple, with Microsoft all of Slashdot would be up in arms and the DoJ would take an interest as well. But because the order came from Jobs almighty himself everyo
Yet another article makes Slashdot, well after it has been thoroughly torn to shreds as bullshit on Reddit, Hacker News, and other sites. Why can't Slashdot editors take a quick look at other, more timely sites to see if a submission is total BS before approving it?
Quick summary of the problems with this article. First, people have been asking for wireless sync as soon as iPhone launched. It is idiotic to think they got the idea from this guy's app.
Second, Apple in fact implemented wireless sync for AppleTV
the Apple sync logo has always been rotating arrows, and the wireless logo has always been the same , so logically wi-fi sync will combine the two items. So sue Apple, if they stole your (TM) trademark. As for the concept of Wi-Fi sync, what It was your unique idea? c'mon, it was probably on Apple's to do list. If they stole code, then you have a beef, if they came out with a similar item, well stand in line with all of the people that duplicate ideas, the world if full of them.

Junior Christine Clark was named the Ivy League Player of the Week on Jan. 14 for the second straight week and the third time this season after scoring a game-high 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting with a team-best seven rebounds. Clark now boasts six career player of the week honors, tying her with former Crimson Tammy Butler '95 and Emma Markley '11 for 10th place on the Ivy League's all-time player of the week list.
Fabulous Fagbenle
Sophomore Temi Fagbenle earned Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors on Jan. 7, marking the fourth time in five weeks she had taken home the honor. Fagbenle has now won seven weekly awards from the Ancient Eight on the season, twice being named player of the week and earning rookie of the week five times.
Fagbenle is the first Crimson to be named Ivy League Rookie of the Week since Christine Clark won it three times in 2010-11, and is the first to take home the first honor of the year since Allison Feaster '98 did so to open the 1994-95 campaign. She is also the first student-athlete to sweep the weekly awards twice in the same season since Penn's Alyssa Baron in 2010-11.
Club 1,000
Junior Christine Clark became the 18th member of Harvard's 1,000 point club on Jan. 2 as she scored 19 points against UMass. Clark reached the milestone in just her 71st career game, making her the fastest Crimson to reach 1,000 points since Reka Cserny '05 did so in her 60th career appearance. She now ranks 16th in program history with 1,050 points.
Senior Victoria Lippert eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau last year and is currently in eighth place in program history with 1,304 points. Lippert needs just 12 more points to move past Deb Flandermeyer '93 into seventh place.
Including this year, Harvard has had at least one 1,000 point scorer on the floor in four of the last five seasons. Additionally, each of Harvard's 18 1,000 point scorers has been coached by head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith.
Margin of Victory
Harvard registered an 85-59 win over UMass on Jan. 2, marking the program's largest margin of victory (+26) since defeating Columbia by 31 points on Feb. 19, 2011, 77-46.
They're On Fire
Harvard shot 51.6 percent from the field against UMass, marking the fourth time this season that Harvard has shot at least 50.0 percent from the floor. The Crimson has also shot above 50.0 percent from three-point range five times this year, most recently turning in a 6-of-12 performance from deep at Rhode Island.
Last season, the Crimson turned in only two performances of shooting 50.0 percent or better from the field and failed to shoot 50.0 percent or better from deep a single time.
The Crimson shot better than 50.0 percent from the floor in back-to-back games against Holy Cross (50.9%) and BYU (50.0), marking the first time Harvard has accomplished the feat since Feb. 4-5, 2011 against Princeton and Penn. Harvard last shot 50.0 percent or better in three straight games Jan. 31-Feb. 7, 2004 against Columbia, Penn and Princeton.
Sharp Shooting
Harvard leads the Ivy League in both field-goal percentage (45.1) and three-point percentage (41.5), and ranks 17th in the NCAA in field-goal percentage and second in three-point percentage. Harvard last led the league in both categories in 2008-09 when it connected on 43.8 percent of its attempts from the floor and 33.8 percent of its attempts from deep.
At The Line
Christine Clark opened the year going 28-of-28 at the line and had a streak of 30 consecutive makes at the charity stripe dating back to last season, surpassing her previous career best of 29 straight successful free-throw attempts. Victoria Lippert, meanwhile, is 33-of-37 at the charity stripe this season and has made 49 or her last 53 attempts.
Harvard is shooting an Ivy League-best 75.9 percent at the line and is ranked 18th in the NCAA.
Dating back to last season, the Crimson is 18-1 when holding opponents to less than 60 points and 26-5 when allowing fewer than 70 points.
Defending Home Court
The Crimson is 5-0 at home in 2012-13 and 58-17 in Lavietes Pavilion over the last seven seasons. This includes a near-perfect 12-1 campaign in 2009-10 which included 11 straight victories at home to begin the year.
Road Tripping
Harvard is 5-3 in true road games this season and 5-5 overall when playing outside Lavietes Pavilion. Last year the Crimson posted a 9-7 record away from home, marking the program's first winning road record since 2008-09.
What a Start
Harvard's 7-3 record to start the season ranks as the second-best record through 10 games in program history. The Crimson has gone 8-2 three times, most recently in 1997-98 en route to a 23-5 overall record and an Ivy League title. Both the 1976-77 and 1987-88 squads went 8-2 to begin the year with the 1987-88 team also capturing an Ancient Eight crown.
Lights-Out Lippert
Senior Victoria Lippert was named the Ivy League Player of the Week on Dec. 3 for the second time this season after averaging 21.0 ppg and 5.5 rpg in a 2-0 week for the Crimson. Lippert tallied 21 points, including 17 in the second half, to lead Harvard past New Hampshire on Wednesday then turned in 21 points at Hofstra on Saturday with seven coming in overtime.
Leader of the Pack
Junior Christine Clark led Harvard in scoring in each of its first six games, becoming the first Crimson student-athlete to do so since Hannah Peltjo '04 led the team in six straight contests to open the 2002-03 campaign. Peltjo went on to average 21.3 ppg for the season, the fourth-highest total in program history, and was named the Ivy League Player of the Year.
Allison Feaster '98 owns the program record for consecutive games led in scoring at 17, 16 of which came to open the 1997-98 campaign. Feaster led the team in scoring in 25 of 26 games that year, averaging an Ancient Eight record 28.5 ppg en route to her third straight Ivy League Player of the Year honor.
You Can Count on Clark
Junior Christine Clark has started all 73 games for the Crimson over the last three years and has scored in double-digits 62 times. This includes a streak of 21 consecutive 10-plus point performances and 11 games in which she has scored more than 20 points.

Objective: To quantify the unintended effects of statins according to type, dose, and duration of use.
Design: Prospective open cohort study using routinely collected data.
Setting: 368 general practices in England and Wales supplying data to the QResearch database.
Participants: 2,004,692 patients aged 30-84 years of whom 225,922 (10.7%) were new users of statins: 159,790 (70.7%) were prescribed simvastatin, 50,328 (22.3%) atorvastatin, 8,103 (3.6%) pravastatin, 4,497 (1.9%) rosuvastatin, and 3,204 (1.4%) fluvastatin.
Methods: Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate effects of statin type, dose, and duration of use. The number needed to treat (NNT) or number needed to harm (NNH) was calculated and numbers of additional or fewer cases estimated for 10,000 treated patients.
Main Outcome Measure: First recorded occurrence of cardiovascular disease, moderate or serious myopathic events [muscle pain/weakness], moderate or serious liver dysfunction, acute renal [kidney] failure, venous thromboembolism, Parkinson's disease, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis, cataract, osteoporotic fracture, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, renal cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer.
• Individual statins were not significantly associated with risk of Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, venous thromboembolism, dementia, osteoporotic fracture, gastric cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, renal cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer.
• Statin use was associated with decreased risks of esophageal cancer
• But increased risks of:
– Moderate or serious liver dysfunction,
– Acute renal failure,
– Moderate or serious myopathy [muscle disease],
– And cataract.
• Adverse effects were similar across statin types for each outcome except liver dysfunction where risks were highest for fluvastatin.
• A dose-response effect [higher dose, increased effect] was apparent for acute renal failure and liver dysfunction.
• All increased risks persisted during treatment and were highest in the first year.
• After stopping treatment:
– The risk of cataract returned to normal within a year in men and women.
– Risk of oesophageal cancer returned to normal within a year in women and within 1-3 years in men.
– Risk of acute renal failure returned to normal within 1-3 years in men and women,
– And liver dysfunction within 1-3 years in women and from three years in men.
• Based on the 20% threshold for cardiovascular risk, for women the NNT (number needed to treat) with any statin to prevent one case of cardiovascular disease over five years was 37 (95% confidence interval 27 to 64) and for esophageal cancer was 1,266 (850 to 3,460) and for men the respective values were 33 (24 to 57) and 1,082 (711 to 2,807).
• In women the NNH (number needed to harm) for an additional case of acute renal failure over five years was 434 (284 to 783), of moderate or severe myopathy was 259 (186 to 375), of moderate or severe liver dysfunction was 136 (109 to 175), and of cataract was 33 (28 to 38). Overall, the NNHs and NNTs for men were similar to those for women, except for myopathy where the NNH was 91 (74 to 112).
• Claims of unintended benefits of statins, except for esophageal cancer, remain unsubstantiated,
• Although potential adverse effects at population level were confirmed and quantified.
Further studies are needed to develop utilities to individualize the risks so that patients at highest risk of adverse events can be monitored closely.

Item Number: KU70033BK
07-16 JK Wrangler Upper Control Arm Rear
Daystar Poly Flex Control Arms are designed for Jeep enthusiasts by Jeep enthusiasts. Constructed of heavy-gauge tubing, these arms use a combination of our Poly Flex Joints and our Poly Joints to maximize suspension travel and articulation. Poly Flex Joints are a specially designed joint that features a spherical ball encased in a special blend of polyurethane. Housed in a steel outer shell, the joint allows the arms a greater range of control arm movement without binding in its attachment points. Unlike a traditional heim joint, the Poly Flex joint does not make noise and is completely rebuildable. At the other end, our Poly Joint features a Polyurethane bushing that is specially designed to move and deflect as the suspension articulates. Daystar's Poly Flex Control arms are also adjustable to dial in caster and driveline angles.
Designed to work on suspensions with 0" to 6" of lift, the Daystar Poly Flex Control Arms are a beneficial upgrade for any off-road enthusiast.

Out of our league
"We were out of our league."
So said former Mammoth Lakes Town council member Kathy Cage, after learning the Town lost its appeal of the airport/Hot Creek decision last week.
"We didn't have the expertise we needed to negotiate such high level agreements," she said.
Cage's assessment could all too easily be applied to far more than just the most recent airport embroilment.
The appeals court's Dec. 30 decision that found the Town on the wrong side of a $30 million lawsuit is only the latest in a series of high-profile legal snafus.
There was the lost redevelopment lawsuit in the late 1990s – a case that almost tore the Town apart at the seams.
There was the Sierra Club's victorious lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration in the mid-2000s.
And the Eric Hugelman decision; another embarrassing – and expensive – moment for the Town.
When all is said and done, it's getting harder to swallow the oft-touted local line that the Town of Mammoth Lakes is just the victim of a series of biased judges and juries.
Rather, it's looking more and more like Cage might be more right than she'd like.
When the 66-page appellate court decision came out, it painted a picture not of malice, not even of hubris as many have said, but of bumbling.
Bumbling in communication, bumbling in legal advice, bumbling in effect.
Missing faxes, missing facts, unclear lines of command and responsibility.
All that bumbling, ill-intended or not, may have been enough to infuriate the appellate judges to the point of not fully addressing all the valid merits of the Town's case, according to two high-placed local attorneys.
Mammoth has what many consider an admirable form of government, an "egalitarian," "weak mayor" system designed to make sure not too much power is concentrated in one individual.
Mammoth's mayor can't veto, can't appoint people, can't do much more than a regular council member could do.
But there is a price for this egalitarian system. Unlike many cities, there is no "buck stops here" individual in the Town. It would be short-sighted to point the finger at the Town's manager, as some have. That doesn't work either. He's an "at-will" employee; only the council makes decisions.
And to make it more complicated, and for whatever reason, Mammoth has been through four Town Managers during the airport mess, leaving even that chain of command – and the accompanying responsibility that should go with it – much missing in action.
Mammoth has a lot going for it.
A lot of snow, a lot of beauty, a lot of good-hearted public servants and overworked community members all trying to do their jobs, most with nothing but the best of intentions.
What it doesn't have is anyone, anywhere, who is publicly responsible for knowing what the hell is going on with every single aspect of the Town at any time.
With no strong mayor, there's simply too much diffusion of responsibility to even know who did what, and stop it, if need be.
With a Town Manager whose every decision must be approved by the council, the same.
Without top-notch legal advice, someone sitting in on every single Town action like an eagle, the same consequences.
It's still a young town, and these bumbles could possibly thus be forgiven.
But the Town dreams big, and that requires big expertise. The price of not having it, and the lack of accountability, is getting very high.
How's that egalitarian thingy working out for you now?

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The head of Pennsylvania's Department of Health says its experts are responding to health complaints related to natural gas drilling, but there is no quick and easy way to answer questions about the issue.
Health Secretary Michael Wolf tells The Associated Press that the department is working to do research with other public and private partners, such as hospitals.
Wolf's predecessor said last week that the state has failed to seriously study the potential health impacts of drilling.
Wolf says he hasn't spoken directly to Gov. Tom Corbett about studying health impacts from one of the nation's biggest natural gas drilling booms, but he has spoken to Corbett's staff.
The industry says drilling is safe and that natural gas has helped reduce overall air pollution.

May 13-19 as has been declared National Volunteer Week by both the town of North Elba and the village of Lake Placid. A celebration is scheduled on Saturday, May 19 with a tree planting ceremony in honor of all community volunteers followed by a ceremony and reception recognizing the 2012 Distinguished Volunteer(s).

The committee will accept nominations for a separate youth category for those 18 years of age and younger. The same criteria will be used.
Any individual or organization may nominate a candidate(s). Remember to provide at least one contact in support of your nomination, and include name and number where support person can be reached.

Win Streaking
The Crimson has currently won 14 consecutive matches dating back to last season, which is now the fifth-longest streak in program annals. The current run now trails only a 22-match streak (2009-2012), 23-match streak (1983-1986), a 26-match span (1986-89) and a 70-match run (1992-1998).
New Kids on the Block

The Tigers have swept Franklin & Marshall, Williams, Drexel and George Washington by a 9-0 margin. Princeton is led by rookie Maria Elena Ubina in the top position, Libby Eyre, Nicole Bunyan and Rachel Leizman.
All-Times Against the Tigers
Harvard holds a narrow, 29-21 advantage over Princeton. The two squads traded victories in the previous two meetings. The Crimson defeated the Tigers, 5-4 in 2012 before falling at Princeton, 5-4 in 2013.
About No. 3 Penn
Like the Crimson, the Quakers have yet to lose a match all season, winning their first three contests against Williams, Stanford and George Washington. Penn is led by sophomore All-American and Ivy League Rookie of the Year Yan Xin Tan in the top position, while College Fehm, Carey Celata, Alisa Agnew and Leslie Gill have also been consistent contributors for the Quakers.
All-Times Against the Quakers
Winners of the last eight meetings in the series, Harvard owns a 38-6 overall record against Penn since the two first played in 1974-75.
Looking Ahead
Harvard returns to action Jan. 25 when the Crimson welcome St. Lawrence to the courts at the Murr Center.

In a new blog entry Alexander Netkachev points out a new unattended installer for getting Java/Apache/PHP and MySQL set up correctly on your system named (appropriately) Jamp!.
Counting times I have installed Java, Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc, changed configuration, setup additional modules and so on, I decided to summarize my knowledge in this area and help myself and others to save our time. I created the installer, which primary goal is to provide the developer with command-line tools for basic Apache/PHP/MySQL management tasks. The second reincarnation of this tool-set was in a form of several JScript script files.
His installer is simple to get up and running - it downloads the latest packages for the setup (the JAMP part) and runs the process automatically. There's also functionality to install additional packages like the Zend Framework or the Dojo Toolkit.

FAMU (6-32) finished the game with four hits as Khiry Hernandez tallied two of them to lead the Rattlers.
UNF (21-15) tallied a game high ten hits as Andrew Karmeris finished with a team-high four hits to lead the Ospreys.
Nick Albritton (2-1) picked the win for the Ospreys as he pitched three and one-third innings in relief only allowing two hits and striking out two, while David Duncan received the loss as he gave up six hits, three earned runs and struck out five in six innings of work.
The Osprey took a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the third inning.
FAMU would cut UNF's lead to 3-1 as Ryan Sheplak, who singled to right field in his at-bat, scored on a Hernandez single to centerfield in the bottom of the third inning.
UNF increased their lead to 4-1 as Michael Wessner scored on a Tyler Marincov double to right field in the top of the fifth inning.
In their half of the fifth inning, FAMU pushed across two more runs as Ryan Sheplak scored his second run of the game on a wild pitch, followed by another Hernandez RBI single scoring Jared Walker, making the score 4-3 in favor of UNF.
The Ospreys would go on to score four more runs for an 8-3 win, with one run in the seventh inning and three runs in the top of the ninth inning.
FAMU will return to action on Saturday, April 14 as they will take on Bethune-Cookman in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference doubleheader at Jackie Robinson Stadium in Daytona Beach, Fla., with the first pitch slated to be thrown at 1 p.m.

This is a primarily a QB number and, as such, so are most of the the best Michigan players who wore it during their maize and blue careers. So without further adieu, let's meet the greatest Wolverines to ever wear #7.
First up is QB Rick Leach who started four straight years for Bo Schembechler from 1975-78, going 38-8-2 in his career. After losing to top ranked Ohio State 21-14 his freshman year, Leach beat the Bucks in each of final three seasons. During his sophomore season, the Wolverines were ranked first in the nation for eight consecutive weeks before a heartbreaking 16-14 loss to Purdue on the road. The Flint, Michigan native was an All-American and came in third in the voting for the Heisman Trophy during his senior year in 1978.
In his career, the option QB still managed to pass for 48 TDs while running for 34 on his own.
Ed. Note: Leach was the last Michigan QB to ever play in front of less than 100,000 fans in the Big House. Against Indiana on October 25, 1975, "only" 93,857 folks showed up for Michigan's homecoming game that year.
Next up is fullback Chris Floyd ('94-'97) who played on Michigan's National Championship team his senior year. Since the FB position is primarily a blocking position at U-M, Floyd didn't put up flashy numbers. But the four-year letterman still managed to average 4.2 yards a carry and 8.9 yards a catch when called upon.
Our third #7 selection is QB Drew Henson. Coming out of high school in Brighton, Michigan, the two-sport star (baseball being the other) was probably the most highly touted QB - if not player - to ever sign with the Wolverines. But things never quite went according to plan with Henson.
During his first two seasons, the projected golden boy ended up splitting time with some back-up by the name of Tom Brady. At first, Henson would come in and play the second quarter of each game...until midway through the '99 season when Brady took over the starting job - and all four quarters for good.
Thus, 2000 was supposed to be the year for Henson. But his Shakespearean odyssey at Michigan took another freak turn when he was injured right before the start of the season. The starting job then fell to a youngster by the name of John Navarre, who led the Wolverines to victories in its first two games before they lost at UCLA. Then, in the fourth game, with Michigan getting spanked on the road against #19 Illinois (yes, there was once a time when they were ranked), Henson came back right before halftime to lead the Wolverines back to a 35-31 victory.
Under Henson, Michigan's offense was explosive as they scored over 30 points in 6 of the 8 games he started, including a 38-26 victory over #12 Ohio State in Columbus. But that would prove to be Henson's final regular season game in a Michigan uniform as he
Even with his truncated career, Henson still threw for 24 TDs and rushed for 4.
Our final #7 for your consideration is current QB Chad Henne. A three-year starter, the Pennsylvania native has led the Wolverines to two Rose Bowls and the cusp of the BCS title game last season. So far in his career, he has completed just over 60% of his passes and thrown for nearly 8,000 yards and 70 TDs. And with a season still to go, Henne should own most of Michigan's career passing records by the time he's finished.
So, now it's time for you to vote...

This term, Ancient of Days comes from Prophet Daniel 7:13-14 which says,
"I kept on beholding in the visions of the night, and, see there! with the clouds of the heavens someone like a son of man happened to be coming; and to the Ancient of Days he gained access, and they brought him up close even before that One. And to him there were given rulership and dignity and kingdom, that the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve even him. His rulership is an indefinitely lasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be brought to ruin."
Who is the Ancient of Days
St. Dionysius the Areopagite
St. Dionysius includes the title "Ancient of Days" in his treatise "On the Divine Names", and as such applies the title to the Godhead:
- Now, this, we have thoroughly demonstrated elsewhere, that always, all the God-becoming Names of God, are celebrated by the Oracles, not partitively, but as applied to the whole and entire and complete and full Godhead, and that all of them are referred impartitively, absolutely, unreservedly, entirely, to all the Entirety of the entirely complete and every Deity. And verily as we have mentioned in the Theological Outlines, if any one should say that this is not spoken concerning the whole Deity, he blasphemes, and dares, without right, to cleave asunder the super-unified Unity.[1]
Of the meaning of the title "Ancient of Days", St. Dionysius says:
- ...Almighty God is celebrated as "Ancient of days" because He is of all things both Age and Time,--and before Days, and before Age and Time. And yet we must affirm that He is Time and Day, and appointed Time, and Age, in a sense befitting God, as being throughout every movement unchangeable and unmoved, and in His ever moving remaining in Himself, and as being Author of Age and Time and Days. Wherefore, in the sacred Divine manifestations of the mystic visions, He is represented as both old and young; the former indeed signifying the "Ancient" and being from the beginning, and the latter His never growing old; or both teaching that He advances through all things from beginning to end,----or as our Divine initiator says, "since each manifests the priority of God, the Elder having the first place in Time, but the Younger the priority in number; because the unit, and things near the unit, are nearer the beginning than numbers further advanced. ...Almighty God we ought to celebrate, both as eternity and time, as Author of every time and eternity, and "Ancient of days," as before time, and above time; and as changing appointed seasons and times; and again as being before ages, in so far as He is both before eternity and above eternity and His kingdom, a kingdom of all the Ages. Amen.[2]
In Eastern Orthodox Christian hymns and icons, the Ancient of Days is identified with God the Son, or Jesus Christ. This is because the Old Testament is always explained in the light of the New Testament, and in the Revelation Chapter 1 we read:
12 I turned to see whose voice was speaking to me, and when I did so, I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man. He was dressed in a robe extending down to his feet and he wore a wide golden belt around his chest. 14 His head and hair were as white as wool, even as white as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame. 15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword extended out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun shining at full strength. 17 When I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last, 18 and the one who lives! I was dead, but look, now I am alive – forever and ever – and I hold the keys of death and of Hades! (Rev. 1:11-18, NET).
- «The Ancient of Days became an infant». St. Athanasius of Alexandria. (Homily on the Birth of Christ).
- "For it is His humanity that he names son of man." St. Athanasius of Alexandria, (Epistle to Antiochus)

The Ancient of Days depiction
Eastern Christian art will sometimes portray Jesus Christ as an old man, the Ancient of Days, to show symbolically that he existed from all eternity, and sometimes as a young man to portray him as he was incarnate. This iconography emerged in the 6th century, mostly in the Eastern Empire.[3] It was declared by the Russian Orthodox Church at the Great Synod of Moscow in 1667 that the Ancient of Days was the Son and not the Father.[4]

The question is as follow:
f(x) = (2+3sinx)/(4+3cosx)
I know that the first thing you do is to try simplifying this down to 1 trig ratio, but well, I use cos(x) = sqrt[1-sin^2(x)], which got me nowhere.
I have looked at the answer and the shape appears pretty weird to me so I have no idea where to start.
Thanks in advance

Atlus announced that its A Game of Thrones RPG based on the popular book and HBO TV series will release May 15 on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It's being developed by Cyanide Studio, which also developed A Game of Thrones: Genesis.
To accompany the release news, a new story trailer highlights the town of Riverspring, and the contentious leadership issues that came up after the death of Lord Sarwyck. Alester Sarwyck, one of the game's two main characters, returns to Riverspring as the town is mourning his father, and he's forced to consider claiming rule over the town. You can see more detail, along with a look at the game in action, in the trailer below.
The game's release puts it about a month after season two of the HBO show begins airing, which we can't imagine was an accident. Let's hear it for synergy, everyone.

Fremont Unified School District Board meeting report
By Miriam G. Mazliach
September 17, 2013
The following are highlights from the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) Board meeting held on September 11, 2013.
Prior to the start of the meeting, Board President Larry Sweeney asked attendees for a moment of silence in memory of 9/11 and in recognition of all those serving to protect our freedoms.
Community Leadership/Superintendents Report:
Fremont Schools Superintendent, Dr. James Morris stated that the Board had approved the acquisition of real property located at 53068 Fremont Blvd.
Supt. Morris thanked the FUSD schools staffs and those at the District office for a smooth start to the school year. He noted that there was an increase in the number of students and that more students had to be overloaded this year.
Agenda Item Unaudited Actuals:
Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, Raul Parungao and the Director of Accounting, Robert Pascual presented their report to the Board, as required by the Education Code before the September 15 deadline. Their financial report on the 2012 2013 school year outlined how the year concluded financially. The Districts reserve grew from $19.8 million to $21 million, a $1.3 million increase. The General Fund ended with a fund balance of $32.9 million indicating an increase of $11.7 million over the projected balance, due mostly to unspent categorical program funds. Unfunded liability to our district is $114 million. The Board unanimously accepted the report.
Agenda Item State Testing Results:
Director of Assessment and Instruction, Dr. Jan March, spoke on FUSDs students STAR (State Standardized Testing and Reporting) results. Students in grades two through eleven took these standards-based exams in the spring. The results indicate the API (Academic Performance Index) which measures the academic growth of schools in a variety of areas, including the CAHSEE graduation test rate and how we are doing on closing the achievement gap. March stated that overall FUSD had a 90.7 pass rate on the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam). The overall District API was 891. Regarding STAR tests, although there was growth among African-American and Hispanic students, the rate was lower than that of the main group of FUSD students. The state will keep requiring the CAHSEE exam, even though Common Core Standards are being introduced at the school districts.
Agenda Item Approve Farsi (Dari) for World Language Credit:
An outside course for high school credit was approved by the board for Farsi (Dari), to be taught through the Ibrahim Khalilullah Islamic Community Center. Over the years, FUSD has approved various World Language Schools in order to meet the many language requirement needs of the districts students. The curriculum of the Farsi course was prepared by college professors and a similar course is offered by Cal State University East Bay. It is being offered only for students in grades eight through eleven, as an additional option for the foreign language requirement. The Board approved this item unanimously.
Agenda Item Enrollment Update:
Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, Raul Parungao gave an update on the districts student enrollment numbers. In Fremont, there are 33,584 students attending schools for the 2013 2014 school year. It appears that enrollment will continue to grow by approximately 350 students or more each upcoming year.
Additionally, under the new law which assigns more local control of funds for education, (Budget Act of 2013 2014), FUSD must implement a gradual class size reduction in order to earn about $6 million on its part. The Board previously approved lowering the class size for Kindergarten to 28 students/per teacher, grades one through six at 30 students per teacher, and at the secondary level, 27.5 students to one teacher.
Parungao also stated that in addition to students previously overloaded in the last school year, there are 506 newly overloaded students this year.
Agenda Item Long Range Facilities Planning:
Community forums have been taking place at various school sites to discuss and hear from parents, students and administrators about what is needed or wished for at each location. Dr. Morris explained that the district is looking at existing facilities, seeing how enrollment is going and how to plan for the number of students, as well as develop plans on what work needs to be done, school by school. Each school will then hold follow-up meeting to continue with the planning process. For more information, visit the district website at www.fremont.k12.ca.us.

Screening & Discussion: From Here to Timbuktu – Turkana Episode, Mar. 5 2014 @ Pawa 254 Hub
The third edition of Pawa 254 film forum will feature the critically acclaimed From Here to Timbuktu Turkana episode.
Date: Wednesday March 5, 2014
Venue: Pawa 254 Hub
Time: 5.30pm to 7.30pm
Entry: RSVP here
Kenyans are excited by the discovery of oil in Turkana, the cradle of mankind, because of oil's potential to accelerate economic growth in the country. But not everyone is as enthusiastic about the oil discovery. The biggest, unresolved issue in the country of Turkana is water, which has led to some of the world's first climate wars.
Ekal a Turkana warrior living in Todonyang, on the border of the Kenya and Ethiopia, carries a gun wherever he goes, as his community is constantly fighting over water and grazing lands with the Daasnach tribe from Ethiopia. Access to clean water is also a pressing concern for residents living near the oil sites in Nakuklas.
With increasing climate change, as a result of our reliance on oil to drive industry, water could soon become the new oil in terms of importance and conflict

Acer chairman and CEO J.T. Wang will step down while the company undergoes what it described as a "comprehensive restructuring and transformation" amid plummeting PC sales. Acer said Jim Wang, a 27-year Acer veteran, would take over as CEO in January.
That news followed the No. 4 PC manufacturer's third-quarter earnings report that included a $446 million loss and plans to lay off 7 percent of its workforce to cut costs.
Acer has been among the hardest hit vendors in the contracting PC market. According to IDC, the company was hit with a 33 percent drop in worldwide PC shipments in June, compared to one year earlier, a bigger decline than Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard and Dell experienced.

Oberon S-Mode Series Watch
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech
It's been awhile since we heard from Tokyo Flash and see that they have another new watch to confuse us. Their Oberon S-Mode series has a stainless steel body with full face black mineral crystal lens. The blue LEDs are a bit simpler to read than some of their others, with the outer ring as the hour, the second showing minutes, and the inner one is minutes in groups of ten. Another button push and you get the date. At a size of 38 x 38 x 11 mm and a weight of 150g, the Oberon carries a price of ¥15,900 (~$159.25.)

PANAMA CITY BEACH - The two Florida inmates who escaped from a Franklin County State Prison were finally arrested after a statewide manhunt.
All eyes were on Panama City Beach this weekend as more details were revealed on how the two were recaptured.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement officials tell NewsChannel 7 they received a tip from an associate of one of the inmates that helped them pinpoint their exact location.
Sunday morning, the two escaped convicts from Franklin County had their first appearance in court at the Bay County Courthouse.
They were arrested Saturday night at the Coconut Grove Motor Inn in Panama City Beach.
Bay County Resident, Bonnie Stewart said, "They really didn't have much to say as they stood there before the judge. I just don't understand all of that."
The search for Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker all began when they were released from the Franklin Correctional Institute after the state prison received forged documents ordering their release.
Once authorities realized what had happened, a state wide search began.
The break in the case came when law enforcement agencies received key information from one of the inmates' associates that they were at a hotel in Panama City Beach. Officials say the two men were in Bay County for about 48 hours before they were caught.
In a new video taken by a witness, you can see several members of the United States Marshals Florida Regional Task force surrounding the inmates room. Witnesses say they had no idea what was going on at the time.
Amanda McComb who took cell phone video of the arrest, "There was just a pool in between us. We tried to go outside during it and we weren't allowed. We got told to go back inside. It was pretty scary especially being there without knowing that murderers are actually in the same hotel that you're in."
Hotel managers say Jenkins and Walker didn't check themselves in. Instead, someone else bought the room for them.
At the time of the arrest, officials say the duo was waiting for a transport from Atlanta to take them to another state.
Jenkins and Walker's next court appearance will be on Friday. They have both been charged with one count of escape and have been held without bond.

Slayer Are 'Seven Kick-Ass Songs' Into New Album
Slayer have been a bunch of busy fellows lately. Drummer Dave Lombardo took to Facebook to issue a progress report and update fans on Slayer's twelfth studio album, which will be their first since 2009′s 'World Painted Blood.' Grab a change of drawers, because it's going to be good.
Lombardo referenced guitarist Kerry King in the following Facebook update:
"The King and I have seven kick ass songs for you so far, you're going to soil your pants!!!!"
When it comes to Slayer, soiling one's undergarments is a good thing because it means the music is so terrifyingly brutal that you've lost control of your bodily functions. That's the hallmark of quality metal.
The band plans to hit the studio next month to record these seven 'kick-ass' songs and more.
Guitarist Kerry King recently opened up to Metal Hammer about the songwriting process, promising that the new music will be "refreshing and energetic." He also confirmed that "the songs are shaping up in the classic Slayer style. You won't be hearing us doing acoustic stuff."
Slayer acoustic? Now that would be blasphemy!

I'm not sure how much - or if at all - you'll be able to assist me with this problem, but it's confusing me a lot so I thought I may as well ask.
Basically, on one of our servers we have a piece of software called BKSB running, which uses ASP.NET and such. I need to have a look at some of the source code, which you'd think would be simple, but for the life of me I can't work out where it is..
All the .aspx, .css, .js, etc... files are in a directory called bksb_portal, and if I go into one as an example, at the top it tells me where the codebehind is:
<%@ Page Language="VB" EnableEventValidation="false" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="bksbWebPortalSolution.Player" CodeBehind="Player.aspx.vb" %>
But I just cannot work out where these files would be.. They are not in the same directory, they are not in App_Data. I've even searched all the disc drives on the server for .vb extensions, and nothing...
So my question is this:
Is there a way I can find out the full path to the actual source code anywhere?
I've had a look through as much as I can find, such as web.config, clientSettings.config, global.asax, etc... But I just cannot find where on earth it is loading these files from. But they must be somewhere or the software wouldn't work

Thread: Do you question your doctor?
Results 1 to 9 of 9
#1 Do you question your doctor?02-09-2012, 03:19 PM
As women (at least in the long ago times), we were taught to respect our elders, listen to what the docs say, and never, ever question. I guess I never got the message, because I have this odd notion that we're clients/customers of the docs. If they don't do their job properly, we can always hire another one.
I've talked to other women who get terrified if I even ask a question or suggest that perhaps they should question their physician about xyz, just fill in the blanks. Personally, I respect them for going into their line of work, but with medical economics, there just isn't all that much time to chat with the patients and perhaps catch a clue of what is really going on.
Today I was told that I just "fell between the cracks" on a medical issue. I'm sick of falling between the cracks. It's like this double edged sword---if you say too much or question too much they might get upset and not take care of you properly. If you never question, you could get really, really hurt.
To the women of CU, do you think it's better to accept what the docs say without question (admittedly they've gone through all the education and surely should know best) or do you question and at least attempt to participate in your own care?

I definitely question. I'm not confrontational, but I let them know I've been reading, and if there's something I don't understand about my own case, I ask."Today, [the American voter] chooses his rulers as he buys bootleg whiskey, never knowing precisely what he is getting, only certain that it is not what it pretends to be." - H.L. Mencken
I had a doctor who repeatedly tried to get me to agree to a prescription for the pill when I was about 25. First, he asked me what method of contraception I was using, and I told him celibacy. He asked me specifically if I wanted to go on "oral contraceptives" and I asked him "Why would I want to do that if I'm not having sex?". He didn't answer.
After my exam, he asked me again, after he lectured me about smoking. I said "Isn't it really risky for a smoker to use the pill?". He didn't answer, so I further asked him if the drug company gave him a kickback for every prescription he wrote. I guess that's why he wouldn't write me a scrip for painkillers, because my main reason for even going to the doctor that day was because I had gallstones.
He hasn't been my doctor ever since. I wasn't real thrilled with his nursing staff, either, as they left me in the examination room for an hour. I took my feet out of the stirrups after 15 minutes, and when the bitches finally came back, they had the audacity to ask me why I had done so.
The only good thing he did was refer me to the nicest surgeon in the network.

My nephrologist and I had major words when I was in the hospital. I was sick of doctors saying one thing and then being told by a nurse or aid that "orders" had been written that I knew nothing about. I actually walked my doctor to the nurse station to watch her write a new order after I had threatened to leave the hospital and her care. I think she respects me more for taking control of my healthcare. She doesn't tell me what to do, she presents me with options and suggests I do my research before making a decision. I respect her for that.
Yes, in a crisis situation you sometimes have to hand over the reins to the doctors, but unless you are acute or critical, then it's always wise to remain in control of your health care. Just my opinion, and BTW I am in an HMO or "managed care" and I don't run up against obstacles.

I've been in the medical field for twenty years. I work closely with physicians and surgeons of all specialties, so yes, I question them all the time. Unless they're egomaniacs(and some are), they usually don't care if you do....so ask away!
I was worried about an interaction between two blood pressure meds. I had seen the studies in Best Pills/Worst Pills, a publication by Public Citizen. Over the years I've subscribed to this and feel that they are amazingly accurate in their warnings. I've gotten off two medications that would have been extremely harmful had I continued with them (also switched docs in each of the situations).
I had brought the study to my internist and he laughed it off, said he was right and not them. Funny thing, decided to ask the pulmonologist. He immediately told me that there was an interaction between those drugs that could cause kidney damage, exactly what the publication had said. I could tell he was uneasy, as he didn't want to contradict my internist, but he had my best interests in mind.
Now I have decisions to make. He told me that just one of the drugs should be used, but in a higher dose. I don't want to cause friction between the docs, but definitely need my meds changed. I'm very concerned.

The Judy Biggert for Congress campaign today issued the following statement from U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk:
"Two years ago, the people of Illinois sent me to Washington, and I was honored to earn their trust and their vote," said Senator Mark Kirk. "Today, I'm urging the voters of the 11th District to support Judy Biggert, a good friend and an ally who will join me voting to spend less, and borrow less, and tax less, helping to fix our economy.
"Judy listens to us and she fights for us – she fights every day for her constituents, but also for our nation's veterans, for better schools, for homeless and at-risk kids, and for the science research that makes our country a leader in technology and innovation.
"Judy's a hard worker, but she's also a listener – and she'll never forget that she's working for her constituents. She's one of the ultimate suburban moms, and she should be representing Illinois in Congress next year.
"On Tuesday, I hope the voters of the 11th District will vote for Judy Biggert, someone I'm proud to call a friend – and someone they'll be proud to call their Congresswoman."

look at what Sanchez has done to this fanbase.......
Would you?
Would Dallas?
I'm not really one to let the media tell me what to think, ESPN above all. I don't think the Cowboys suck because of Romo. I think without him they would be a 4-12 football team. The Cowboys is actually a worse team to play for than the Jets right now, if you can believe it. The only reason people don't notice just how crappy that organization is from top to bottom is because once upon a time Jimmy Johnson passed through town.
I think if Romo had a team around him, an offensive line perhaps, so he wasn't running for his life all the time, or a defense that could help, he would be really good. He wouldn't be a Rodgers or a Brady but I think with team mates around him we could turn him into something like a Brees.
We're going to lose Revis anyway. Our defense held up alright this year without him and if we had Romo instead of Sanchez we would have been in the play offs and probably going to either Denver or New England right now.
I want Romo on this team bad
look at what Sanchez has done to this fanbase.......
I lol'ed for real.
No way - we already have a younger version
Sanchez will grow up to be Romo (if he grows up)
looks good vs lesser teams, throws picks when it matters most
Yes, Dallas is going to trade away a franchise QB for a CB, a position they're already set at.
Don't they only have one strong corner? Isn't the rumor mill swirling that Romo may be done in Dallas? Maybe Emperor Jones will get all hot on a lights out dallas defense.
Romo is way better than Sanchez lol. You're crazy.
Dallas isn't all that better than the Jets, if they are at all, and look what Romo did with them in a tougher division with no offensive line
Without Revis, we got along just fine with Cro Show (who's good, but isn't Revis) and Kyle F'n Wilson. You don't NEED an elite, shutdown, future HoF CB in this league to win. What Dallas could REALLY use is an OLine that doesn't have Romo running for his life and a center that isn't snapping the ball 20 feet over his head.
For us, the deal would be great. A CB that we don't need for a QB that would be an instant upgrade over Sanchez? Not too shabby. But, for Dallas? It's an awful trade.
Personally, I'd rather draft and develop QB. But, not because this scenario would mean losing Revis. Losing Revis isn't the end of the world like some people think it is. Some people just have a fixation with superstars at positions that don't require them.

No- Way! Romo 1 & 6 in big games enough said! We need winner's here not chooker's.;
Let's see ...
Dallas would then have to go with Kyle Orton or draft/sign another QB, all while paying Darrelle Revis, Brandon Carr, Morris Claiborne and Michael Jenkins big money.
Yeah, I don't think so.
God I hate the offseason.
The Knicks are making it fun, this year.

Saturday, May 12, 2012 was emancipation from status quo of brand launches as Rob Dyrdek catapults himself yet again to the forefront of the fashion industry; carving out a niche much like carved out tail end grabs on street skate rails since the soon-to-be-pro age of 12. In celebration of IVI breaking a sweat on the brow of high fashion's creativity as it gets heavy with extreme sport style; Rob Dyrdek, designer god Jerome Mage, and Fox Racing brand giant Pete Fox selectively summoned friends and taste makers 'to see with a different point of view' – that of an eye-scaping spectacle scening itself at a private Hollywood home draped over hill for frighteningly pure glorification of a LA sunset (7ish)…
IVI (pronounced eye-vee) establishes itself as a powerhouse in the new millennia of streetwear with its aesthetic induced nostalgia of time travel to a present where the future already exists as Dyrdek is fermenting himself to be a technology evolutionary fashionist and industry mogul. Dwelling in Mage craftsmanship of the individual [sunglass]; each model displayed in secular glass cases fittingly loitering around the venue is molded into an existent apparition ranging in raw material to include handmade premium acetate framing or nylon specs, with nickel silver rim wire and temples. Static Carl Zeiss Vision Premium Lenses vary only in RX compatibility or polarization; engraved lense signature solidifying authenticity - little doubt as to such when considering explicitly multifluescent language like 'Dividant' 'Lividity' 'Jiving' and 'Dusky' framed up in magnetic closure, quotation-ranging case packaging.
Bleached performed over undercover pool as constructed platform stage rocked bass and drum set with throaty four piece, three part female LA based band. Neon purple tree lit with cross-flashing lights made IVI premiere complete with "My Work Speaks For Itself" Sailor Jerry black plastic classic new twist on the red party cup filled – and refilled – with Kanon Organic Vodka, Veev Acai Spirit Zen stairs separated stock-full bars. Haute Chefs Catering partnered with Hotspitality for premium service to mouth-water match Lime Margaritas by Peligroso Tequila. DJ MomJeans aka Danny Masterson turned it til 2am leaving the early crowd to DJ Scotty Coats, a DJ well worth arriving a few minutes beforehand to see [and hear].
Brody Jenner was fanboy fave of photography with who's who guests streaming down the list of personal friends and supporters including Ryan Schekler, Taylor Armstrong, actors Anton Yelchin and Michael Rosenblum; Keith Hufnagel, Dylan Rieder, Chad Muska, Tal Cooperman, Dingo, and Felix Arguelles.
Carl Zeiss, Microsoft and Skullcandy partnered to pick up the bill.
