Activist Kim Trueheart, a vocal critic of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's administration who was arrested and jailed Wednesday after trying to enter City Hall, said Thursday that she was dismayed that police officers would attempt to keep a citizen from a public building.
"I'm upset and disappointed in the police force of Baltimore City," said Trueheart, 55, who was released early Thursday morning. "One of the supervisors said City Hall is a private building and I have trespassed on a private building. City Hall is a public building."
She faces charges of trespassing, disorderly conduct and failing to obey an officer's command. Police officers assigned to City Hall told Trueheart on Wednesday that she'd been banned from the building for previous "disorderly" behavior.
Administration and police officials could not immediately identify who had ordered the officers to prevent Trueheart from entering, and top police officials said they were investigating whether such a ban was legal.
"I'm home ... Thank you lord!!!" Trueheart posted at 5:03 a.m. on Twitter, where she has an active presence and more than 600 followers. She is scheduled to appear in Baltimore District Court at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Trueheart took issue Thursday with charging documents, which alleged that she was attempting to disobey officers' commands that she leave City Hall. Rather, Trueheart said, she was walking out the door, having agreed to leave, when she was arrested.
"Five of them jumped me as I was leaving out the door," Trueheart said. "I had already decided to leave."
One citywide elected official condemned Trueheart's treatment. Frank M. Conaway, clerk of the Circuit Court and former candidate for mayor, sent out a news release in which he objected to the ban.
"I can't imagine myself barring people or having them arrested as long as they are not misbehaving," he said in the release. "I hope that City officials will study their arrest and barring procedures and have an open policy for all citizens. Apologies should go out to those people that were arrested and not admitted to our City Hall."
Trueheart frequently speaks out at government and education meetings in Baltimore. She regularly attends sessions of the City Council, Board of Estimates and school board, and testifies on wide-ranging subjects.
In the past, she has spoken out against tax breaks for developers, the sale of the Senator Theatre and cellphone towers on city school buildings. She also has collaborated with council members on legislation and participated in council workshops on auditing. It is not unusual for her to confront public officials with questions or interrupt politicians as they're speaking.
According to the police report, Trueheart was asked Jan. 16 not to come back to City Hall by Lt. Rob Morris after she disrupted a Rawlings-Blake news conference, though she was not arrested or charged with a crime. On Wednesday, "Ms. Trueheart refused to leave the location when asked several times to and warned," Officer Samuel Thomas wrote in his report. "Ms. Trueheart was then placed under arrest."

My high-school graduating class is celebrating our 50th reunion this weekend!!! Gosh, but so many of my classmates have gray hair! LOL . . . how did that happen!! I am on the reunion committee . . . and, one of my jobs is to make a banner for our afternoon & evening gatherings. The banner is being printed as 36x20 on a canvas with grommets to hang it. The little booklets are full in trivia and the envelopes were used for mailings to classmates. Ive used several Designer Digitals products and really love the result. The little Cavalier is one that I drew when I was a senior in high school and on our 1963 yearbook committee. He was on the yearbook cover and still looks like he loves being a member of our class. Eight of my closest girl friends are having a four-day hen party and sleep over . . . I am so excited and cant wait to see everyone!!!

Mother celebrated her 89th birthday a fortnight before Mother's Day. Her little hands look a tad on the frail side now. Her eyes don't see like they use to. Her legs are not as strong. Her ears don't catch everything. Her hair is pure silver.
"My mind, son," she can still grin, and does, about it "and the rest of me is not what it used to be!"
But, oh, let me tell you, there was a time…
I have a question that perhaps someone can answer. It's something that has bugged me ever since I hit the road in my teens for the first time as a licensed driver.
Why is it that law enforcement officers can drive way over the speed limit, operating their vehicles at speeds that they'd pull me over and ticket me for?
None of us would step on a crack. We believed we'd fall plumb to the center of the earth! Or one of those Loch Ness monster things would reach up and get us. Nobody was gonna take that kind of chance! We'd catch up to where the sidewalk started in front of the elementary school and run, skip and jump the half mile on into town…careful as we pushed and fought our way to the Parke Theatre that we didn't let one little toe stray over a crack. We weren't superstitious mind you, we were afraid!
This is a happy time of the year for high school seniors. Their journey in life has just passed another milestone and for most of them the future seems bright. Some will go to the military, some will go to college and others will opt for the world of work. Whatever their choice, the decisions they make now will, for the most, shape their lives.
A friend of mine – not from the South – recently asked me, "If I were a Southerner, what are the things you would recommend I do? Those 'musts' that every Southerner should not miss out on..."
I thought about it, and decided to google. Lo, and behold, Southern Living magazine beat me to it. So, with their permission, here's some of the 40 things they list...space doesn't permit us to list them all. But I picked the best of the best...at least, in my opinion. Enjoy...
I think I know what the problem is with the automobile industry. They are all making the same car! A Buick Lucerne pulled in front of me at the four way stop at Stonewall and Magnolia and it looked just like a Toyota Avalon or a Chevy Monte Carlo or a Kia Amanti. These days you can't tell who is driving what. It reminds me of an old Pete Seeger song, "and their all made out of ticky tacky and they all come out the same."
One of the most entertaining – and frustrating – pastimes out there right now is the "Would You Rather...?" game. One person asks the question, and the other has to answer it. You must answer. No passing, no saying, "Neither." You have to pick one. Sounds easy enough. But what if the questions were really hard? Like these...
Live without music or without TV?
Lose your legs or lose your arms?
Be blind or deaf?
In a fire, save a sibling or a stranger?
Have three eyes or webbed feet?

Many commercial fisheries are characterised by too many fishers (and vessels) chasing too few fish.
According to FAO data from 2007, 17% of the world's fish stocks are overexploited, 7% are depleted, and 1% are recovering from depletion. The collapse of several high profile fish stocks, such as the North West Atlantic cod, and their failure to recover despite a reduction or moratorium on fishing effort, has raised concerns over the success of rebuilding plans for overfished stocks.
OECD work on the economics of rebuilding fisheries provides policy makers with guidance on the design and implementation of fisheries rebuilding programs, focusing on the economic and institutional issues surrounding rebuilding efforts.

COOK Report Business Model
COOK Report Business Model and Policy for Economics of IP Networks Creation Space
The COOK Report serves an international community of thought leaders focused on strategy affecting the Internet as a global utility that is critically important to the advancement of education, science, and the economy of every nation that it touches. The COOK Report sponsors an international community of interest limited to 200 industry visionaries. Subscribers gain access to the Economics and Architecture of IP Networks mail list [Arch-econ] now in its seventh year. Arch-econ is a private creation space offering a unique online discussion where industry leaders share knowledge and develop ideas.
I borrow the creation space concept from a new book The Power of Pull. The authors - John Seely Brown, John Hagel and Lang Davison - remind us that the old top-down and "push" based ways of doing things are no longer very productive.
Problem solving and strategy building is a central foundation for all business. However the on going practice of business depends both on accessing resources and attracting new people and their passions. Doing this is of little value unless coupled with a third set of actions "that focus on driving performance rapidly to new levels. These practices involve participation in, and sometimes orchestration of, something we call "creation spaces" -- environments that effectively integrate teams within a broader learning ecology so that performance improvement accelerates as more participants join." I point out that to engage the power of pull you need a creation space. According to JSB "to get better faster at whatever it is you do, you've got to be supported by a broad array of complementary people and resources from which you can pull what you need to raise your rate of performance improvement (and vice versa – reciprocity matters now more than ever)." Arch-econ is now in its sixth year of offering such a space.
New members are announced to the list so that members know who is reading. Comments made on the list are private and are not to be ported outside without the author's specific permission. While it is impossible to give iron clad assurances of trust as to how list members behave toward each other, the list has worked well since it started in April 2004. However, the harvesting of names and setting up of a sub list that asks members for help on special confidential projects the existence of which is therefore to be kept confidential from other members is violation of policy which will subject any person who does this to removal. Conversation is for the whole list or for private one-on-one mail. I obviously cannot police this at the level of every single member but I find, unfortunately, that I must state it in order to circumscribe behavior that began in all apparent innocence and grew way beyond any reasonable bonds. Comments to the list are considered on record in that I edit and republish the very best of them on a monthly basis. However, I always let the authors know my intention in advance and give them an opportunity to make adjustments if need be.
Arch-econ membership includes commercial players such as Google, Cisco, BT, Motorola, Dell, Sprint and others. Other members represent the research and university community, supercomputing centers, network operators, industry analysts and VC communities. Also represented are community network and wireless players, both regulatory and regulatory attorneys, entrepreneurs, public sector, university researchers. Twenty percent of member spaces are reserved for industry executives who work outside the U.S. There is a strong focus on the economic impact of open access fiber, advanced networks and other forms of rich connectivity.
The COOK Report is a newsletter first published in 1992. It appears at least six times a year with exclusive interviews and commentary on strategic planning affecting Internet policy, economics and infrastructure. Also included may be other areas of interplay between technology and policy such as the April-May 2010 issue on 45 years of privatized computerized vote counting and unresolved problems of election administration. From this point forward The COOK Report is likely to go even more into depth on emerging new areas.
Over the past six years, Arch-econ has become a trusted forum for the free exchange of ideas and information. As far as new members of Arch-econ are concerned, after a period of some number of weeks I often ask someone to subscribe if they feel they are getting requisite value. Often they do. If they do not, I remove them with hopefully no hard feelings on either side. Now there are also some folk who know so much and contribute such a lot to the list that I find myself making a judgment that their presence adds so much value for everyone that I have little reasonable choice but to leave them on.
A major focus for me now is to nurture the list by adding as many similarly motivated thought leaders as possible. It has earned a good reputation as a place where people want to be and, even if they don't manage to read my long newsletters, I am finding that they will keep up paid subscriptions to remain a part of the community. (Subscribers must renew if they are to remain on the list. If there is an extenuating circumstance, I am willing to discuss it with the subscriber.)
Except for license fees for redistribution of published newsletters and very occasional other writing assignments, my income is derived entirely from paid newsletter subscriptions. Two years ago there was an exception -- the COOK-In which did produce additional revenue. (I am trying to have a COOK-In every year but I make no promises. Sponsorships will be likely the determining factor.)
New subscribers to Arch-econ must be announced. People want to know who's listening. Lurking is permitted and no one is badgered to participate. Signal to noise ratio is regarded as high. I endeavor to maintain the list as a forum where people can explore new ideas and get reaction from their colleagues. Continued membership is not guaranteed. In five years, only four people have been removed.
Interview, Subscription and Licensing Policy
I am focusing on three different products:
1. subscriptions of one, 2, or 3 seats
2. negotiated price group subscriptions
3. licensed re-use of published issues
The following describes in detail licensed re-use of published issues in detail. It also etablishes policy for working with interviewees.
From time to time I either take on an assignment, as in the July 2008 issue on Taiwan's NDAP for which I was paid a one time fee negotiated in advance, or an interview on a subject with commercial potential such as Darkstrand where I also negotiated a one time fee for their right to re-use in their marketing. More recently there was another occasion with regard to the February 2009 issue. I completed that issue in my normal way and by the time I was finished, both parties interviewed said they really liked what I had done and wished to license the result. Another subscriber elsewhere in the world had the same opinion and also requested a license.
Based on these experiences, I have established the following policy for interviewees:
Since I cannot work all the time for free, I tend to prefer paid subscribers for interviews. However, I am always on the look out for cool leading-edge stuff. Therefore, probably not more than 50% of the time, ithe interviewee is a paid subscriber.
If I interview a non-paid subscriber, the interview is done with the following understanding:
a. The interviewee will receive draft copy for review but will NOT receive a published PDF.
b. The interviewee who IS a paid subscriber will review drafts right up to the point of publication and, of course, will also receive a published PDF. However, the interviewee does not own the published pdf. In addition, the work itself must not be placed on a website or widely shared, although on a case-by-case basis, if requested, I will cease being restrictive after 3 to 6 months.
c. If the interviewee likes the piece and wishes to distribute the published PDF broadly within their communities, I will gladly negotiate a license for that purpose.
To summarize, I with to remain self-employed and therefore take a proprietary interest in reuse of the published PDF. For 19 years my independence has been a well-known fact and one of my strongest assets. I intend to carefully protect it. Fore example, I do not write interviews for a fee. I indicate in advance that I don't give them away either, and that by holding off the question of licensing until the interview is done, I avoid the appearance that the person who pays for a license controls what I say.
If you would like further clarification, please do not hesitate to call me.

Effects of Recent Federal Policies on Security and Resiliency Landscapes
View all Sessions
Recent executive orders, presidential policy directives and federal agency activities are affecting strategies and practices for cybersecurity protection and resilience of the nation's critical infrastructure. What are they? How are they related to previous such actions? How are they affecting cybersecurity and resilience strategies of owners and operators of the nation's critical infrastructure?

"The facts were complicated, and we didn't foresee appropriately the natural reaction. But I would argue that you don't want to make important decisions in anger. You want to display as much ruthlessness as your duty requires, and you do not want to add one single iota because you're angry."
What is clear is that, given the high profile David Sokol carried at Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett's life work may have come uncomfortable close to being run by a guy who saw (and still sees) nothing "close to the line"about doing something (trading stock while sniffing around potential acquisitions in what the investment bankers surely presumed was his role as a representative of Berkshire Hathaway) that his boss (Warren Buffett) would never, ever, have dreamed a CEO of his would be doing.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded Aqib Talib for William Gholston.
The Talib trade happened last year, but today they spent the fourth-round pick they got from the Patriots on Gholston, a defensive end from Michigan State who has good size (6-foot-7, 278 pounds) and moves well for a big man.
Gholston is an outstanding athlete who is capable of being an extremely disruptive presence on the defensive front, but he often appears to take plays off, and the knock on him at Michigan State was that he was too inconsistent. In fact, there's some talk that Gholston is a lot like his cousin Vernon Gholston, who was the No. 6 overall pick of the Jets and turned out to be a major bust.
The good news for the Bucs is that they didn't spend the sixth overall pick on him, they spent the 126th overall pick on him. Late in the fourth round, Gholston is a talent worth taking a chance on.

31243, Hymns, Oh, Holy Words of Truth and Love, no. 271
1. Oh, holy words of truth and love
We hear from day to day,
Revealed to Saints from God above,
To guide in heaven's way.
Beautiful words of love
Coming from God above,
How sweet, how dear the words we hear!
They're beautiful words of love.
2. They're from Apostles good and true,
Whose names we all revere,
Who daily teach us what to do
In words of love and cheer.
3. They're from the prophets God inspires,
In counsels oft withstood,
Reproving all our ill desires,
Commending all that's good.
4. And from each chosen one that speaks
By aid the Spirit gives,
For every sphere of life it seeks,
For every one that lives.
5. As gems of wisdom, pure and bright,
That glow with lustrous ray,
We'll seek to gain these words of light,
Their counsels to obey.

Press Releases
Boston Police to Receive The Wireless Foundation Honor for Innovative Use of Mobile Technology in Community Assistance Program
BOSTON, MA (Marketwire) - In recognition of the Boston Police Department's CrimeStoppers Mobile Program, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis received The Wireless Foundation's VITA™ Wireless Samaritan Award at the 14th annual Achievement Awards Dinner held on Monday, June 2, at Union Station in Washington, D.C.
The Boston Police Department (BPD) received the VITA Award recognition for its "Text-a-Tip" program, the first system in the United States to provide a text messaging-based method for citizens to deliver anonymous tips to law enforcement agencies. Designed by mobile marketing firm Hill Holliday and powered by VeriSign (NASDAQ: VRSN) Messaging and Mobile Media Division, the leading provider of digital infrastructure for the networked world, Text-a-Tip was created to take advantage of texting's privacy and its familiarity to many youths, who may be less inclined to pick up the phone and call police.
Launched by the BPD's CrimeStoppers Mobile Program in June 2007, Text-a-Tip was designed to increase cooperation with the community and combat a 'stop snitching' culture that has permeated through major cities across the country. Since its inception, the program has inspired 678 text tips. The mobile messaging system has provided crucial information in several homicide cases that have led to critical investigative leads. In addition, the program has helped increase the number of contacts received by the telephone hotline to 727 calls since June.
"One of the most significant ways that wireless technology has changed the landscape of American communities is to help make us all safer," said David Diggs, executive director of The Wireless Foundation. "Since 1993, our VITA program has recognized the remarkable stories of wireless samaritans who have used the technology to stop crime and save lives in emergencies. The Boston Police Department's Crime Stoppers Program is a marvelous illustration of the best-case scenario for the crucial role individuals and wireless phones can play in emergency situations and public safety."
Since the BPD launched Text-a-Tip, text tipsters engage more deeply with the CrimeStoppers Unit via one-to-one SMS chat, some participating in text conversations as long as 45-60 minutes. The unit has improved the efficiency and immediacy of dispatching information. Operators can engage with Boston Police investigators or other law enforcement agencies via phone and communicate the tip information to officers or detectives in real time for action.
"This innovative initiative has performed far beyond our expectations. The response has been remarkable and has significantly influenced revitalization in the level of cooperation between the community and police," said Commissioner Davis. "Tips received have led to drug, gang and violent crime arrests. This program was made possible by the generosity, creativity and technology made available to us by Hill Holliday and VeriSign."
"Text messaging is deeply embedded into youth culture and many young people prefer texting to talking. Adding text functionality to the CrimeStoppers program was crucial to reaching young people, who are often most likely to have the information Boston Police need," said Thi Linh Wernau, vice president, Digital, Hill Holliday. "We are proud to have partnered with the Boston Police Department and the City of Boston on the creation of the Text-a-Tip program and the ad campaign to drive users to the line. We are also pleased the success of the program has inspired similar initiatives from law enforcement agencies and schools across the nation."
VeriSign Messaging and Mobile Media manages the Boston CrimeStoppers text messaging platform's easy-to-use user interface, which allows citizens to access the system by simply texting 'tip' to short messaging system (SMS) code CRIME (27463). When a text tip is sent, it goes to the phone carrier where normal text charges are applied. The VeriSign system then masks all personal identifiable information, including mobile phone number, before sending any text messaged information to the police department with an assigned six-digit code. Wireless customers can then engage police in a two-way dialog while maintaining their anonymity.
"Ensuring the delivery of mobile messaging is a vital component in enabling a secure and trusted network of communications for users. The Boston Police Department has done a masterful job of leveraging this form of communication to benefit its residents," said Mike Campbell, senior vice president of corporate marketing, VeriSign Messaging and Mobile Media. "It is particularly gratifying when our mobile delivery services are used to enable a program that makes people safer, and we congratulate Commissioner Davis and the Boston Police Department for this award recognition and their great service to the community."
Presented annually, the VITA Wireless Samaritan Awards honor individuals across the United States who have used wireless technology to save lives, stop crime and help in other emergency situations. The achievement awards dinner brings together government and wireless industry leaders to recognize the crucial role that wireless technology plays in keeping citizens safe.
A panel of representatives from the law enforcement and emergency response services industry including National Association of State 9-1-1 Administrators (NASNA), the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the Fairfax County Police Department participated on the panel that reviewed and judged all 2007-2008 VITA award nominations. The panel selected honorees that used wireless technology and took additional action to provide assistance in an emergency situation. Winners exemplify how the use of wireless technology can play a crucial role in public safety.

Alabama 21, LSU 0: The morning after
Truth be told, once the game settled into a rhythm -- you know, field goal for Alabama, 3 and out for LSU -- I started flipping back and forth between the game and "The Andromeda Strain," where an entire town is wiped out except for a crying baby and an old drunk who likes his Sterno. Kinda like Baton Rouge this morning.
Funny thing ... way back in September I picked LSU to win the SEC but not the national championship. Right and right, though I didn't quite figure on it playing out like this.
FYI, the image above is from the movie, though it could double as 'Bama's defensive playbook. -- R. Trentham Roberts

Being the unapologetic Auburn shill that I am, I was disgusted by last night's game. I root for 'Bama to lose their spring scrimmage game. That being said, 'Bama proved to be the national champ. They deserve it. And unless Chizik and Co. prove to be the best closers in history, 'Bama is going to trample Auburn in recruiting and I'll have to relive this nightmare at least twice in the next 4 years.
Two questions remain: 1) How many national championships will 'Bama claim for last night's win? I predict 3, 1 for each poll they ended #1 in. 2) Will the Occupy movement recruit an Occupy sect in Louisiana to go deficate on the Bryant and Saban statues?

All Over the News, 2015"
I create sculptures and site-specific installations by resurrecting and transforming detritus that I find in my natural surroundings.
Often my inspiration begins during a walk when, by chance, I come across discarded, broken, or decaying material. A plastic top, a piece of string, a fallen tree limb, or a washed up boat—all hold aesthetic promise, as I imagine transforming the material into something new. My work mirrors the human experience, so full of transformation, second chances, reinvention, and resilience..

Generic Name: valsartan (val SAR tan)
Brand Names: Diovan
Medically reviewed on Nov 23, 2018
What is Diovan?
Diovan (valsartan) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
Diovan is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children who are at least 6 years old. It is also used in adults to treat heart failure, and to lower the risk of death after a heart attack.
Diovan is sometimes given together with other blood pressure medications.
Important information
Do not use Diovan if you are pregnant. Stop using and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Valsartan can cause injury or death to the unborn baby if you take the medicine during your second or third trimester.
If you have diabetes, do not use Diovan together with any medication that contains aliskiren (Amturnide, Tekturna, Tekamlo, Valturna).
In rare cases, Diovan can cause a condition that results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure. Call your doctor right away if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness especially if you also have fever, unusual tiredness, and dark colored urine.
Before taking this medicine
You should not use Diovan if you are allergic to valsartan.
To make sure Diovan is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);
liver disease;
a heart condition, other than one being treated with valsartan;
if you are on a low-salt-diet;
if you are dehydrated; or
if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any blood pressure medication.
Do not use Diovan if you are pregnant. Stop using and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Valsartan can cause injury or death to the unborn baby if you take the medicine during your second or third trimester. Use effective birth control.
It is not known whether valsartan passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.
Diovan should not be given to a child younger than 6 years old.
How should I take Diovan?
Take Diovan exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
You may take Diovan with or without food. Take the medicine at the same time each day.
If a child taking Diovan cannot swallow a capsule whole, your pharmacist can mix the medicine into a liquid. Shake this liquid well just before you measure a dose. Measure the liquid with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
You may have very low blood pressure while taking valsartan. Call your doctor if you are sick with vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often. Your kidney function may also need to be checked.
It may take 2 to 4 weeks of using this medicine before your blood pressure is under control. Keep using this medicine as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life.
Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 4 weeks of treatment.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Read all patient information, medication guides, and instruction sheets provided to you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Diovan dosing information
Usual Adult Dose for Congestive Heart Failure:
Initial dose: 40 mg orally twice a day.
Maintenance dose: 80 to 160 mg twice daily. The dose should be increased to the highest dose tolerated by the patient.
Usual Adult Dose for Hypertension:
Initial dose: 80 to 160 mg orally once a day.
Maintenance dose: 80 to 320 mg orally once a day.
Usual Adult Dose for Left Ventricular Dysfunction:
Initial dose: 20 mg orally twice a day.
Maintenance dose: The initial dosage may be titrated upward within 7 days to 40 mg twice daily, with subsequent titrations to a target maintenance dose of 160 mg twice daily as tolerated by the patient. If symptomatic hypotension or renal dysfunction occurs, consideration should be given to a dosage reduction.
Diovan may be initiated as early as 12 hours after a myocardial infarction, and may be given with other standard postmyocardial infarction treatment, including thrombolytics, aspirin, beta blockers, and statins.
Usual Pediatric Dose for Hypertension:
6 to 16 years:
Initial dose: 1.3 mg/kg once daily (up to 40 mg)
Maintenance dose: up to 2.7 mg/kg (up to 160 mg) once daily titrated according to patient response
If the calculated dosage does not correspond to the available tablet strengths, or if children are unable to swallow tablets, the use of a suspension (which can be prepared from the tablets) is recommended. The Diovan dose may need to be increased if the suspension is replaced by a tablet.
No data are available in pediatric patients either undergoing dialysis or with a glomerular filtration rate less than 30 mL/min.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid while taking Diovan?
Drinking alcohol can further lower your blood pressure and may increase certain side effects of Diovan.
Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes while you are taking Diovan, unless your doctor has told you to.
Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
Diovan side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any signs of an allergic reaction to Diovan: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
In rare cases, Diovan can cause a condition that results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure. Call your doctor right away if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness especially if you also have fever, unusual tiredness, and dark colored urine.
Also call your doctor at once if you have:
shortness of breath (even with mild exertion);
little or no urinating, swelling, rapid weight gain;
weakness, confusion, increased thirst, loss of appetite, vomiting;
pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest;
a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out; or
high potassium--slow heart rate, weak pulse, muscle weakness, tingly feeling.
Common Diovan side effects may include:
headache, dizziness, tired feeling;
flu symptoms;
stomach pain, diarrhea;
back pain, joint pain; or
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect Diovan?
Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using during your treatment with Diovan, especially:
a diuretic (water pill);
ritonavir; or
NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)--aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others.
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with Diovan, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.
Further information
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use Diovan only for the indication prescribed.
Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure the information displayed on this page applies to your personal circumstances.

Hi everyone,
My name is Tyler and I'm a big toyota fan. I've owned a 1989 supra since 2005 and I did a 1jz swap in 2008. I'm a Mechanical Engineer so I enjoy working on cars and anything mechanical. I bought a 1974 Celica about a month ago. I've been wanting one for a long time. I bought the car in Ocean City, Maryland; it sat next to a corn field since 1994. It was running when they parked it. I've not tried to start it yet, been soaking the cylinders in oil for now. The car has no rust underneath, but the roof is badly rusted from the soft top and I'll have to find a new roof for it. I'm looking forward to getting this car back on the road.
My other cars
1997 Toyota T100 (DD)
1989 Supra 1jz
1990 Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon

A blanket of snow has the ability to brighten the dreariest of days. And, despite school closures and tricky driving, a snow-covered landscape proves to be quite beautiful. It's not so bad for the plants either, so don't be tempted to knock the snow off drooping branches.
Snow has an insulating effect which is particularly useful when we do have frigid temperatures. Ground level snow will actually protect the roots and crowns of perennial and woody plants, but you may notice a little burn above the snow level when it comes to broadleaf evergreens.

John Randolph Thune (born January 7, 1961 in Murdo, South Dakota) is the junior United States Senator from South Dakota and a member of the Republican Party. After losing a race for the U.S. Senate by only a few hundred votes against an incumbent, Thune won the South Dakota senatorial race in 2004 by beating Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle. He is an outspoken conservative and has voted with a majority of his Republican colleagues over ninety percent of the time during the current Congress.[1] Thune serves as Vice Chairman of the Republican Conference and is on the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, Armed Services Committee, and Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
Thune received an undergraduate degree at Biola University and a Master's degree in Business Administration from the University of South Dakota.

In 1991 Thune was appointed railroad director by Governor George Mickelson and in 1993 became Executive Director of the South Dakota Municipal League. In 1996, Thune was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, defeating Lieutenant Governor Carole Hillard in the Republican primary, and won the general election 58%-37% over former Daschle aide Rick Weiland. Thune was chosen freshman class representative for the Republican leadership. He was reelected in 1998 by the largest margin of victory for any statewide office in South Dakota history. After losing a narrow election in 2002 for U.S. Senate, he defeated the Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle in 2004.
John Thune has been mentioned as a possible candidate for President in 2012.

If you're concerned about quality try lame with "--preset fast extreme" or "--preset insane" or use flac (for lossless compression)

The Bears' Week 1 win gave fans a lot to feel optimistic about. But how can we expect the remaining games to go? Thanks to a free weekend of NFL Sunday Ticket, I watched part or all of every Week 1 game. I'm not saying you should wager your hard-earned money based on this info. But you COULD.
Sunday vs. Minnesota: The Bears should put 12 players "in the box" to stop Adrian Peterson. Sign a guy made of antimatter for the secondary to balance the numbers. Christian Ponder will have four turnovers. (WIN, 2-0)
9/22 at Pittsburgh: Like the bridges across the Monongahela, the Steelers are old, rusty and crumbling. Only nine points against the Titans? (WIN, 3-0)
9/29 at Detroit: Brutal game featuring multiple personal fouls and ejections. Ndamukong Suh bodyslams an ED-209. (LOSS, 3-1)
10/6 vs. New Orleans: The Trestman offense is forced to go fully operational in the face of the potent Saints offense. The Super Bowl-era record for combined points in a game is 106. They'll get close. (WIN, 4-1)
10/10 vs. New York: The Giants are a tire fire one week, world-beaters the next. *flips a coin on desk* Light 'em MUP, MUP, MUP! (WIN, 5-1)
10/20 at Washington: Can I publicly co-sign the "Holy crap, change the name of this team already" petition? Good. It's ridiculous. (LOSS, 5-2)
10/27: There is absolutely no way the Bears will lose on this day.
11/4 at Green Bay: A fortunate post-bye week placement helps the Bears win on Monday night in Titletown for the first time since 1986. You heard me. (WIN, 6-2)
11/10 vs. Detroit: An unfortunate letdown week helps the Lions sweep the Bears for the first time since 2007. (LOSS, 6-3)
11/17 vs. Baltimore: The Ravens were the luckiest Super Bowl champs ever. They're extremely average. (WIN, 7-3)
11/24 at St. Louis: You start writing lyrics for a 2013 "Super Bowl Shuffle" after this one. Hint: "best, man" is a good "Trestman" rhyme. (WIN, 8-3)
12/1 at Minnesota: Adrian Peterson runs through all 12 Bears defenders and punches the antimatter safety in the head. He's that good. (LOSS, 8-4)
12/9 vs. Dallas: Under the "MNF" microscope, Tony Romo's poor decisions are magnified. So are Jerry Jones' cavernous face wrinkles. (WIN, 9-4)
12/15 at Cleveland: (WIN, NO ACTUAL WORDS NECESSARY, 10-4)
12/22 at Philadelphia: Bears clinch a playoff berth. Every last-minute Christmas gift in Chicagoland will have a Bears logo on it. (WIN, 11-4)
12/29 vs. Green Bay: A meaningless game for both playoff-bound teams. Bears bring back Rex Grossman just for fun. (LOSS, 11-5)

Just noticed that KAYU is pulling the same thing with Dish Network that it did was Direct TV. Only those of us with Dish don't have an option of buying the NFL package so I'm screwed.
Is there a place to stream the games and watch on the computer. Sorry if that's a stupid question but I've never needed another option to watch the Seahawks.

Gain control of your gag reflex
Your gag reflex (as the name suggests) is a reflex action. The gag reflex is a contraction at the back of your throat which stops objects entering the throat except as part of normal swallowing.
If you touch the soft palate at the back of your throat you'll find that produces a natural gag response.
Your gag reflex is nature's way of stopping you choking. It is one of the body's natural essential defense mechanisms.
But because of anxiety or past traumatic experience the gag reflex can begin to get in the way of natural and necessary functions like eating out, going to the dentists, wearing dentures or swallowing necessary medication or even brushing your teeth.
The feeling is of loss of control and panic.
Quickly re-training reflexes
It's certainly possible to train yourself to resist the gag response. People can train themselves to do sword swallowing for instance by overcoming the natural response to gagging.
That is a little extreme of course, but it illustrates how seemingly involuntary processes like the gag reflex can be brought under control. Hypnosis is an excellent fast track way to change autonomic (unconscious) responses.
This session will focus on retraining your gag response to be more subtle and discerning. The gag reflex is an essential tool but like any tool we need to know when to use it and when it can stay out of the way.
Hypnosis is the perfect way to diminish the old access gagging pattern and get you feeling so much more relaxed and in control.

How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
If an antidote can be given, recovery begins immediately. Patients who took a large overdose may not be breathing (respiratory arrest) and may have seizures if they do not get this medicine quickly.
A severe overdose of meperidine can cause death.

Charlie Allen's Black & White World
In reference to the piece above, he writes, "A tired newspaper proof of a Pac Tel ad done in about 1960. A friend posed for the switchboard lady. An example of line film-pos [an acetate sheet with black line art printed on it] and halftone rendering underneath."
Charlie continues, "Two examples of dozens and dozens of steel product B&W's... a real bread and butter account. Later they all had to include, totally illogically, a pretty hostess-type icon of a gal, always the same one in the same skirt and blouse."
Tomorrow, we get a good look at Charlie's "Steel Lady".

I just can't get enough of Charlie Allen's line work. Thanks, Leif, for another brilliant week!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment, jesse - I know Charlie, who is reading these posts, will appreciate hearing that! :-)ReplyDelete
The simplicity and clarity of Charlie Allen's illustrations is amazing. His compositions are always clean and easy to read, his values are uncomplicated for better clarity and reproduction, and his drawing is always academically accurate and EVERYTHING reads. This doesn't just happen by chance... it requires understanding and refined editing skills, that separate the top illustrators from the run of the mill illustrators. Those skills are just as valid today as they were then.ReplyDelete
As an illustration student in San Francisco during the late 50's, I was greatly inspired, and at the same time, in awe over Charlie's professional skills and flawless drawing ability. It is no wonder his talent was in great demand, and he stayed busy decade after decade.
Congratulations to Charlie Allen and thanks to Leif for more of his work to admire and enjoy.
Tom Watson
Well put, Tom; I always wish I were able to describe these things with the clarity and thoroughness that seems to come so easily to you - thank you! :-)ReplyDelete
Mr. Allen, if you're reading this, would you mind commenting on your technique for the black and white work? I'm thinking specifically of the types of paper, pens, brushes, etc. that you used to create the art, and anything regarding your process would be much appreciated!ReplyDelete
Great request, jesse! I put it to Charlie and was rewarded with another slew of scans and a wealth of info - which I will use as Friday's post - so stay tuned!ReplyDelete

The two longest-serving US secretaries of defense are Robert McNamara and Donald Rumsfeld. McNamara spent 10 more days running the Pentagon than Rumsfeld did. He also served uninterruptedly. Rumsfeld held the post under presidents Ford and George W. Bush. Both men are associated with disastrous wars, making them likely the two most controversial secretaries of defense. Certainly they're the only two to be subjects of Errol Morris documentaries.
"The Fog of War" (2003), about McNamara, won Morris a best documentary feature Oscar. "The Unknown Known" takes its title from a favorite phrase of Rumsfeld. It also accurately describes its subject, whose smiling inscrutability makes him consistently fascinating and often maddening.
McNamara makes a cameo appearance in "The Unknown Known," glimpsed in footage from a 1989 symposium featuring former secretaries of defense. But the new film is hardly déjà vu all over again. The men are as different as down and up, grief and glee. McNamara was a technocrat left morally devastated by the quagmire his number-crunching had helped create (for himself no less than his country). As for Rumsfeld, he declared at a July 2003 press conference, "I don't do quagmires." The only self-examination he ever subjects himself to would appear to involve a shaving mirror and lather.
The quagmires comment appears in "The Unknown Known" in a snippet of news footage. The documentary also includes photographs, headlines, archival audio and video, maps, and superimposed text — lots and lots of superimposed text, mostly dictionary definitions and Rumsfeld memos. It's estimated that he wrote 20,000 during the nearly six years he served under Bush. "I don't know where all those words came from," Rumsfeld marvels of his output. Morris has him read from several memos. It's like listening to Custer saddle up and go for a gallop, not that Rumsfeld would buy that comparison, of course.
The blizzard of memos became known in the Pentagon as "snowflakes." The term was not complimentary. Morris offers multiple shots of snow globes as a visual metaphor for the memos. He also includes the occasional shot of waves at sea and open sky. Like Danny Elfman's for-lack-of-Philip-Glass score and a penchant for slow-mo and sped-up footage, they're Morris tics that become a bit of a distraction. But if such flourishes have become a predictable part of his documentaries, the way blood and standoffs are in Quentin Tarantino movies, so is the intelligence that informs every frame of "The Unknown Known." There is no more robust and searching mind at work in American film.
The lion's share of the documentary consists of Morris, whom we never see but sometimes hear, interviewing Rumsfeld, whose face fills the screen, Rushmore-like. He's the only talking head, other than those glimpsed in archival clips.
Unlike McNamara, Rumsfeld is actorly: not just at ease in front of a camera but utterly at home there. His Pentagon press conferences were star turns; and like any great performer, Rumsfeld is self-aware without ever being self-conscious. McNamara clearly thought of himself as the opposite of naive, yet he was the essence of it. To his dying day, he puzzled over facts and figures being no match for hearts and minds. Rumsfeld, in contrast, presents himself as a cheerful naif, peppering his speech with "My goodness," "Good grief," and "Goodness gracious" — and, oh, that crinkly-eyed smile behind those rimless schoolmarm glasses — yet the last thing the man is is naive. A consummate political survivor and bureaucratic infighter, he's a cobra in foxy-grandpa drag.
Morris asks most of the questions you'd expect: about Guantanamo and the Geneva Convention, weapons of mass destruction, Abu Ghraib. (Oddly enough, he doesn't ask about ignoring Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban in favor of Iraq, with the disastrous consequences we still are dealing with.) "Would it have been better not to have gone there at all?" Morris asks of Iraq. "I guess time will tell," Rumsfeld replies. Usually, his answers are a lot better, but all are on that order of self-exculpation. In his ability to dodge and have an answer for everything, Rumsfeld recalls not McNamara but a famous movie figure of the past. "I think, Errol," he smilingly says at one point, "you're probably chasing the wrong rabbit here." The grin, the unflappability, the cockiness, the carroty charm. Morris is hardly Elmer Fudd, but you half-expect Rumsfeld to add, "Eh, what's up, doc?"
Once, Morris catches him in what would seem to be a flat-out falsehood. No, no, Rumsfeld says, no one ever thought that Saddam was involved with 9/11. Morris quotes a 2003 Washington Post poll where two-thirds of respondents said he was. Well, Rumsfeld says, no one in the Bush administration thought that. Morris then cuts to a Feb. 4, 2003, Pentagon press conference, where Rumseld is asked about a Saddam denial of any involvement with Al Qaeda. "Yes, and Abraham Lincoln was short," he says.
Rumsfeld notes at one point that he's not a lawyer. But good grief, as the man himself might say, how he loves a lawyerly dwelling on meanings. His pre-invasion comment on WMD — "the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" — is just one example. Having split a hair, he will slice it into smaller pieces and bronze them. Talmudic scholarship lost two potentially great practitioners when Rumsfeld ran for office and Morris picked up a camera. This shared love of close interpretation may account for the weird chemistry between them, which helps make "The Unknown Known" so compelling.
McNamara's secretary has described how she'd sometimes encounter her boss during his final year at the Pentagon standing behind his office curtains weeping. No such scene is imaginable with Rumsfeld. That said, he does tear up once during the film. Rumsfeld says he would regularly go to military hospitals to spend time with recuperating service personnel. On one visit, he was told that the grievously wounded soldier he'd met wasn't "going to make it." But on a subsequent visit, Rumsfeld sees that the soldier is still alive and learns that, yes, he's "going to make it" after all.
Leave it to Steven Spielberg, the New Republic's Leon Wieseltier noted once of "Schindler's List," to film a Holocaust story with a happy ending. Leave it to Donald Rumsfeld to tell a tear-inducing story that ends in smiles. Which story, though: the soldier's recovery or Rumsfeld's career?Mark Feeney can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The owner of this toilet needed a dozen stitches after the Flushmate exploded.
Explosive diarrhoea is the least of worries for consumers who have a certain type of water conservation device installed in their toilet. Models of the Flushmate III Pressure-Assist Flushing System manufactured between 1997 and 2008 are the subject of a recall by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission after the devices themselves were found to be an explosion risk.
According to the CPSC, 304 of the Flushmate units have burst during use, resulting in 14 laceration and impact injuries. Some 2,330,600 of the devices in the United States — found in American Standard, Kohler and other brand toilets — as well as an additional 9,400 in Canada are subject to the recall.
While well meaning, the recall is insufficient, according to an attorney in California who has filed a federal class action suit for $5 million against Flushmate, which is owned by Sloan Valve Co. "It doesn't solve the problem," says the lawyer, David M. Birka-White. "It doesn't fix it. It forces people to pay for the repair themselves, and there's an inadequate notice program."
The recall doesn't actually involve mailing the toilets back to the manufacturer. Instead, the company sends a repair kit to owners of the volatile device. The problem is, while the repair might mitigate explosion damage, it doesn't actually address internal leakage that causes the danger, says Birka-White.
"It's not designed to fix the underlying problem that causes the blowup in the first place," he says. "You can't fix the problem, other than trying to control collateral damage, meaning the explosions. It's a magnanimous gesture, and one that may be helpful to save injury, but it doesn't solve the problem."
Flying Toilet Shrapnel
The injury sustained by an exploding toilet
The worst known injury from the devices is featured on the CPSC website with a photo of a man's lacerated back, stitched back together. "I required dozens of stitches for an extremely deep wound because of the exploding porcelain," the victim said. "Because I am a bigger person, I was able to absorb the brunt of the force. Again, had this happened to someone elderly or a child, the outcome could have been catastrophic."
According to the lawsuit, the Flushmate devices work by using water in the toilet tank to compress air, then forcing the air into the bowl when flushed. "The vessels used in the Flushmate System are defective and prone to leaks and weld separation," the suit states. "The leaks cause the Flushmate System to burst at or near the vessel weld seam releasing stored pressure. The pressure then lifts the toilet lid and shatters the tank, posing impact or laceration hazards to consumers, as well as property damage."
The recall is further inadequate, according to the attorney, because the burden is on consumers to perform the repair themselves after the company sends the kit. "Many people can't install these repair kits themselves," says Birka-White. "They don't have the tools, or are maybe older or physically incapable of doing it. What do you do in that case? People have to call a plumber."
Paying a plumber could mean spending as much to get the repair kit installed as it would cost to buy a brand new toilet. "You just bought yourself a new toilet to fix the problem, to keep yourself from being the victim of flying toilet shrapnel," Birka-White says.
The suit also alleges that Flushmate knew of the explosion danger since 2000 but failed to disclose the potential risks. Birka-White says he class action has already attracted a "substantial" number of plaintiffs from across the country who have experienced leaking, explosions, flooding and property damage from the Flushmate devices.
"Even if it's not leaking, what are you supposed to think of a toilet that has a propensity to blow up?" says Birka-White. "How comfortable can you be with a toilet like that in your home?"
