mestranol and norethindrone |
Pronunciation: MESS tra nol and nor eth IN drone |
Brand: Necon 1/50, Norinyl 1+50, Ortho-Novum 1/50 |
What is the most important information I should know about mestranol and norethindrone? |
| Do not use birth control pills if you are pregnant or if you have recently had a baby. |
| Do not use this medication if you have any of the following conditions: a history of stroke or blood clot, circulation problems, a hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer, abnormal vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, or a history of jaundice caused by birth control pills. |
What is mestranol and norethindrone? |
| Mestranol and norethindrone contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. |
| Mestranol and norethindrone is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. |
| Mestranol and norethindrone may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide. |
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking mestranol and norethindrone? |
| This medication can cause birth defects. Do not use if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant, or if you miss two menstrual periods in a row. If you have recently had a baby, wait at least 4 weeks before taking birth control pills (6 weeks if you are breast-feeding). |
| Do not use this medication if you have: |
· | a history of a stroke, blood clot, or circulation problems; |
· | a hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer; |
· | abnormal vaginal bleeding; |
· | liver disease or liver cancer; or |
· | a history of jaundice caused by birth control pills. |
| Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you have any of the following conditions: |
· | high blood pressure, heart disease, congestive heart failure, angina (chest pain), or a history of heart attack; |
· | high cholesterol or if you are overweight; |
· | kidney disease; |
· | a history of depression; |
· | diabetes; |
· | gallbladder disease; |
· | seizures or epilepsy; |
· | a history of irregular menstrual cycles; or |
· | a history of fibrocystic breast disease, lumps, nodules, or an abnormal mammogram. |
| The hormones in birth control pills can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medication may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast-feeding a baby. |
How should I take mestranol and norethindrone? |
| Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. You will take your first pill on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday after your period begins (follow your doctor's instructions). |
| You may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using this medication. Follow your doctor's instructions. |
| The 28-day birth control pack contains seven "reminder" pills to keep you on your regular cycle. Your period will usually begin while you are using these reminder pills. |
| You may have breakthrough bleeding, especially during the first 3 months. Tell your doctor if this bleeding continues or is very heavy. |
| Take one pill every day, no more than 24 hours apart. When the pills run out, start a new pack the following day. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of pills completely. |
| If you need to have any type of medical tests or surgery, or if you will be on bed rest, you may need to stop using this medication for a short time. Any doctor or surgeon who treats you should know that you are using birth control pills. |
| Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat. |
What happens if I miss a dose? |
| Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant. |
| If you miss one "active" pill, take two pills on the day that you remember. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack. |
| If you miss two "active" pills in a row in week one or two, take two pills per day for two days in a row. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack. Use back-up birth control for at least 7 days following the missed pills. |
| If you miss two "active" pills in a row in week three, or if you miss three pills in a row during any of the first 3 weeks, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new one the same day if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new one that day. |
| If you miss three "active" pills in a row during any of the first 3 weeks, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack on the same day if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new one that day. |
| If you miss two or more pills, you may not have a period during the month. If you miss a period for two months in a row, call your doctor because you might be pregnant. |
| If you miss any reminder pills, throw them away and keep taking one pill per day until the pack is empty. You do not need back-up birth control if you miss a reminder pill. |
What happens if I overdose? |
| Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Symptoms of an overdose may include nausea, vomiting, and vaginal bleeding. |
What should I avoid while taking mestranol and norethindrone? |
| Do not smoke while using birth control pills, especially if you are older than 35. Smoking can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack caused by birth control pills. |
| Birth control pills will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases--including HIV and AIDS. Using a condom is the only way to protect yourself from these diseases. |
What are the possible side effects of mestranol and norethindrone? |
| Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. |
| Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects: |
· | sudden numbness or weakness, headache, confusion, problems with vision, speech, or balance |
· | chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling; |
· | nausea, stomach pain, dark urine, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); |
· | swelling in your hands, ankles, or feet; o |
· | symptoms of depression (sleep problems, weakness, mood changes). |
| Less serious side effects may include: |
· | mild nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach cramps; |
· | breast pain, tenderness, or swelling; |
· | darkening of facial skin, increased hair growth, loss of scalp hair; |
· | changes in weight or appetite; |
· | problems with contact lenses; |
· | vaginal itching or discharge; |
· | changes in your menstrual periods, decreased sex drive; or |
· | headache, nervousness, dizziness, tired feeling. |
| This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. |
What other drugs will affect mestranol and norethindrone? |
| Some drugs can make birth control pills less effective, which may result in pregnancy. Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following drugs: |
· | phenylbutazone (Azolid, Butazolidin); |
· | an antibiotic such as amoxicillin (Augmentin), ampicillin (Omnipen), doxycycline (Doryx, Vibramycin), penicillin, rifampin (Rifadin), tetracycline, and others; |
· | seizure medicines such as phenytoin (Dilantin), carbamazepine (Tegretol), felbamate (Felbatol), oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), topiramate (Topamax), or primidone (Mysoline); |
· | a barbiturate such as amobarbital (Amytal), butabarbital (Butisol), phenobarbital (Solfoton), y otros; or |
· | HIV medicines. |
| This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can affect birth control pills. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor. |
Where can I get more information? |
| Your pharmacist can provide more information about mestranol and norethindrone. |
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

What is the recommended approach for transmitting Locale and other context information with a message?
This might sound simple in principle and perhaps it is but consider ..
An application that supports many Locales and many industries. Each industry has its own set of terminology. So when a user logs in they see industry terminology and language pertinent to who they are. This much can be achieved with a specialised ResourceBundle.
But as part of that user's webflow they generate several messages that are processed asynchronously. Some of those messages may result in a document or email being generated and dispatched to a user that displays content generated in the context of an industry and Locale. Generally this would be the same context as that of the originating user.
So what is the best mechanism for transmitting that context along with the message? Adding it to all messages seems a little heavy handed and warps the business intent of the message. Is there a better approach?

Here we are friends. Here we are standing at the final crossroads. The fork in front of us leads us to two separate destinations. One is a preferred route, full of lush green Champions League football, revenue for the clubs already bulging coffers, prestige of at least achieving what we all hoped would be the bare minimum this season, and finally the opportunity to celebrate St Totteringham's day once again.
The second road is Europa League football. Once upon a time it would have been a similarly enjoyable path to tread, but the gardener has spent most of his time worrying about the other route that this one has become neglected, a little bit overgrown and slightly wiffy, if I'm honest.
Today there is a team from the North East of our land that stand between taking the first and the second road. They are the gatekeepers of our path and to dispatch them effectively will allow us to tread the route we want to tread.
I am getting nervous just typing this match preview, I can tell you that. I am nervous because I know that despite nothing other than pride to play for, Newcastle will be up for this game. They may have secured another year of Premier League football last week, but Alan Pardew will not throw on another group of kids to finish the season. He'll play the strongest team he has. I am also nervous because I see similarities with what happened on the last game of last season against West Brom. The Baggies were in exactly the same position and yet still so nearly came away with a point that would have eventually meant Champions League football was taken away from us. For what it's worth, I am appealing directly to the Footballing Gods now: if you like symmetry, parallels in life and such, grant us another away win on the last day of the season. And if we Gooners have to go through Hell and back watching a game of intense pressure, then so be it, as long as the final result is favourable enough to see Arsenal in with a shout for Champions League football next season.
Team-wise we will see a Newcastle side that has one or two question marks over it. The absence of both Krul and Elliott in goal, through injury and suspension respectively, will give Steve Harper the opportunity to play in his last game for Newcastle. So rather than expect him to flap at a few balls, let's expect him to have the game of his life, meaning we'll have to pepper his goal just to get a few through. In defence there will be no Steven Taylor, but Collocini and Yanga-Mbiwa will still form a decent enough back line to give our front three a tough enough game. Marveux is injured for the Geordies, but other than that they should have a fu strength team to put out. We know the quality of Cisse and Ben Arfa up top so we know we'll be up against a tough attacking unit and I'm not expecting any favours from the them today.
As for us, our main questions revolve around a replacement for Arteta and whether Giroud will start at the head of the front three. I suspect Arsene will go for the Frenchman above Poldi, so the German may have to settle for an impact place on the bench. In midfield I think Arsene will opt for Wilshire as a 'once more into the breach' for Jack before he has his ankle surgery. Whether or not he lasts the full 90 will be another question Le Boss will have to work out. The back five picks itself really, so there's no need to go over it on who is playing.
In the last two games up at St James' Park we've had a player sent off and found it really hard to break Newcastle down after that. That was the same when we played Sunderland earlier in the year and so I'm hoping we can keep our heads and ensure that the match finishes 11 v 11. If we do, then I would hope that we have enough quality against this Newcastle side. However, Arsene has never beaten Pardew away from home and so we are up against another unwanted record that we have to break, so lets hope that particular hoodoo is extinguished come 6pm tonight. I could talk about the incentive Mike Ashley has offered of a £1million bonus to all non-playing staff if Newcastle win today, but that strikes me as a bit baffling, as the non-football staff have no influence on the game, so it's hardly a motivator for the players. Anyway….
The players, the staff, the fans – all of us have a role to play today. Let's be united today and hopefully sing our boys on to victory.
Up the Arsenal!

Get Ready for Advocacy Summit 2014!
The 2014 Advocacy Summit will be held March 24th-26th in downtown Washington, DC. Check back in fall 2013 for more information!
About the Summit:
The Advocacy Summit is an annual event when people living with and affected by arthritis come from every corner of the United States convene in Washington, DC.. There they learn how to advocate and build a continuing relationship with their Members of Congress and their staff.
Together, with other advocates and Arthritis Foundation staff, meet with legislators and staff on Capitol Hill to tell Congress that ignoring arthritis is unacceptable and more needs to be done for people with arthritis. If we don't let Congress know that something must be done about the pain, cost and disability of arthritis, no one else will!

District Assembly—One of the most IMPORTANT district meetings of the year is coming up on Saturday, April 21st. Our annual District Assembly will be held at Westerville High School on the 21st from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm. This is a great meeting for new Rotarians and for officers and directors for the coming year to attend. We will be taking several cars, so check with Jodie or Chuck if you are interested in going.
Fellowship—Gordon Amsbary handled the club fellowship time recognizing a birthday for Kevin Dennis! For a small contribution the entire club sang Happy Birthday to Dennis. Lee Saltzgaber offered a buck for a missing pin and Jodie McCalla and Kevin Dennis offered up late arrival fines. Amsbary continued to amaze members with a few little known facts about toilet paper and hot dogs. Gordo pulled out an old Rotary card he has kept for many years which was given to him by Rotarian Lou Ford in 1971. Some words of wisdom concluded our fellowship time.
Split-The-Pot—Jim Morrison ran our STP for the meeting and asked past-past-President Debbie Rhodes to draw our lucky winner today for the $7.00 small pot. Our lucky winner today was none other than Nayyer Hassain. Nayyer delicately drew for the large pot of $65.00 missing the big one with the Ten of Diamonds. So close! Our Foundation Fine was assessed by Nayyer for anyone who was NOT wearing blue today.
Program—Some of our best programs often come from our own members and today was one of them! Rotarian Kurt Dailey presented, "You Want To Do What?" in a stimulating talk about his career in HR. Kurt clearly described the ways in which to create a great work environment. He emphasized the use of the Rotary 4-Way Test, and how these four simple questions play a key role in decision making in business. Kurt stressed the importance of first providing clear expectations to all employees. Second, emphasize the behaviors that support company goals. Third, establish and evenly enforce discipline when necessary. And always remember, 'fear the HR Weenies!' Rotarians enjoyed a lively Q&A time. Thanks, Kurt, for a great program today!

Should there be a change in attitude/strategy when playing in a cash game versus a tournament? In one you are capable of replenishing funds, and in the other you will be eliminated.
closed as not constructive by Robert Cartaino♦ Jan 10 '12 at 23:48
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, see the FAQ for guidance.
Good play at a table (cash game) and a tournament/SNG can be very different. In a cash game the chips are directly redeemable for money. Thus chip_ev = money_ev. This is not true in tournaments. ICM (Independent Chip Model) is a mathematical model to estimate the worth of chips. In general winning one chip has less impact than losing one chip on the worth of a stack. Or in other words chips of small stacks are worth more than chips of big stacks. This can lead to the situation, that 2 players are all-in and this leads to a negative expectation for these 2 players since all other players in the tournament profit from this situation. This finally leads to the fact, that in late stages of a tournament being the one who goes all in first can be very important, since your opponent has to fold a lot more than in cash game. In a cash game he needs for a call always not more than 50% equity while in a tournament this value can be above 70%. |

Best Thai in Vegas!. I love Thai food and this place is the best I have found in Vegas. It is not fancy and does not look like alot from the outside or even inside for that matter BUT don't let that stop you. The decor might be dated but it is very clean and the food tastes great!!!!! We ate there several times during our stay in Vegas and if you have ever been to Vegas you know there is a great amount of choices to choose from. When we return in the future i will defintely be eating here again. We had the egg rolls, Pad See Ewe and Green Curry - all were awesome! While we were there a customer came in and said he had heard they had great food and wanted to know if they could serve a party of 15 within the next hour. They even offer free delivery!
Great Thai food downtown. Great thai food at great prices for Vegas. I have been enjoying thai food for over 30 years. I ordered the tum yum soup with shrimp. It was huge and full of large perfectly cooked shrimp and mushrooms. Wonderfully spiced (medium) It was served with rice. I also had the chicken basil which was also fantastic. Do not be fooled by the in or outside of the restaurant. Major thumbs up!
Best Cusomter Service On Fremont. Thai Vegas has some of the friendliest staff in Vegas. When you walk in you are greeted with smiles from the hostess and the employees are very sweet. Unlike many restaurants these days Thai Vegas has a clean and fun atmosphere. It's a great spot to for groups or families to relax from the casinos of Fremont Street and enjoy the best thai & chinese food downtown has to offer :]
The employees are very kind. The food is the tastiest in town! It's the ONLY authentic Thai and Chinese food in Downtown Las Vegas. All the locals dine-in/take-out food there; ask anyone in that area and they'll point you to Thai Vegas cuisine. Tourists dine in quite often. I love the food. They'll do anything for the customer (specific requests). I love it there =]
BASICALLY: Great food, friendly service. A diamond in the rough
Take a break from the Fremont Street Experience for a little tom ka kai or hot and sour tom yum..
In Short
This unassuming spot serves great Thai food in a friendly atmosphere completely beyond the clanging of slot machines. Those wishing a respite from gaming or noisy overhead animatronics will find some well-spiced comfort food in the form of copious pad thai, fiery tom ka kai, or delicious hot and sour tom yum. The anise-flavored smoked duck is a must for those curious about how well Thai cooks can prepare this fatty fowl.
Good Thai & Chinese there!!. I really like Thai & Chinese food there!! The taste is very good!! I recommend all of you to try food there..You will like their food!! Their shop is very near the Fremont Street on 4th Street, opposit Neonopolis Mall!! They opened 10 AM - 10 PM. YOu can dine-in or order to go by Tel.(702) 382-1928.

I love time travel stories. Last year's Looper got things almost perfect. "Almost" because every time travel story falls apart if you look too closely. But that's okay, because the best time travel stories tell us more about ourselves than they do about time travel.
That could be why my favorite time travel movie often isn't even classified as sci-fi. It's a comedy. Groundhog Day follows Phil Connors (Bill Murray) as he lives the same day over and over again. It's a simple, brilliantly-executed premise. What would you do if you could live the same day over and over? Would you use that time to better yourself? Would you try to live the perfect day? Or would you even purposely make mistakes because there would be no repercussions the next day?
If you don't have plans this Saturday, February 2, I highly recommend watching "Groundhog Day" on Groundhog Day. If you haven't seen it, you're in for a treat. If you have, I think you'll agree that this is a day you'll want to relive again and again.

Harps In Serious Car Accident
By: Liz Hogan
Updated: June 10, 2007
Gerald and Vicki Harp are in Oklahoma area hospitals tonight. Members of the Harp family tell us they both are in critical but stable condition.
The couple was traveling on I-44 Saturday afternoon when a dump truck crossed the median and hit their Toyota pickup.
According to state troopers, the driver of the dump truck lost control when his left front tire blew out.
Two other cars were involved in the accident.
Medics pronounced the driver of the dump truck dead at the scene.
Life Flight transported Gerald Harp to a Tulsa area hospital with head, arm and leg injuries.
Vicki Harp was taken to another area hospital with arm, leg and internal injuries.
A trooper at the scene said the couple had to be removed from their truck with the jaws of life.
Both in their sixties, the Harps are well known in Northwest Arkansas.
Gerald Harp's parents founded the Harps grocery chain. He and his brother are credited with helping make the Harps chain such a success, because of their involvement with the family business in the 60's.
He also served as president for 6 years, from 1994 to 2000.

Jamaicans held in Trinidad now back home
New information is emerging as to why some Jamaicans were denied entry into Trinidad and detained 2 weeks ago.
One of those detained says some of them were denied entry because they had overstayed their time on a previous visit to the twin island republic.
Earlier reports had indicated that the detainees were not told why they had been prevented from entering the country and being held.
Six of the seven Jamaicans who were detained on March 12, returned to Jamaica earlier today (March 24).
The seventh Jamaican had already secured her release from the detention centre last week, through her sponsor in Trinidad.
Irie FM first reported the story of the detention of the Jamaicans more than a week ago.
One of the women, Odette Ferron told Irie FM News this afternoon that 3 of the 6 had overstayed before.
However, reasons for the detention of the others, who are first time travellers to Trinidad, are not known.
Ms. Ferron says the 6 who came home today are happy to be back on Jamaican soil.
They arrived at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston at approximately 11:30 a.m.
Their trip home was made possible, after friends of the six as well as security guards at the detention centre, pooled funds to purchase return tickets on another airline.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry had said it had been making efforts to get the Jamaicans home, but was faced with challenges including the suspension of flights by regional carrier, Red Jet.
The Jamaicans had pleaded for assistance with securing funds to purchase their return tickets home, and complained about the unfavourable conditions under which they were being kept at the detention centre.
Friends and family chipped in with funds for the return trip after news circulated that the Jamaicans were to be moved to an immigration facility with harsher conditions than at the detention centre.

Big Ben's Debut I have to say that it really sucks beyond sucking to sit here and watch Ben manhandle rebounds for the stinkin Bulls. Even in light minutes tonight...he's not jokin. I doubt he'll play much more tonight, but it's extremely painful to watch him man the middle for the enemy.
Re: Big Ben's Debut Low, how are you watching Ben at all? He's not on NBATV. Your profile says you are from Las Vegas. So...was it on League Pass? It just ended but I couldn't find it on my NBATV. I thought preseason wasn't on League Pass. I definitely would have watched that game. Painful as it might have been.
Re: Big Ben's Debut Just got done watching the recorded Bulls game here in Chicago. Ben looked like he was in mid season form. I think he was making a conscious effort to "set the tone" for the team. He was helping on D, hustling after guards, ripping down rebounds with that signature wrist over the top style, and of course blocking shots (although somehow he was only credited with 1 block). Also, he got a lot of passes cutting to the hoop, the first one resulting in a huge 2-handed tomahawk jam. He called for the ball in the 2nd half and hit a nice weak side fade away. I just don't understand how Nocioni has been demoted to the bench. They need to start Hinrich, Gordon, Deng, Nocioni, and Ben... not PJ Brown. It's strange... I'm watching Ben do his thing for another team, and at the same time, I'm glad for him that he's gone. It will be good to see him get appreciation for all the things he does again. He was at the point with the Pistons where the other players were taking his contributions for granted. I feel like he gave us enough and he deserves a change. Also, if he drew that same salary with us, he would eventually get blamed for it in year 3 or so.
Re: Big Ben's Debut Low we gotta move on and forget about Ben. Yeah he dominated the Pistons middle setting the defensive tone for 6 years, but we got a new man there now and if the Pistons are successful it will be a Ben who??? I know some of you are upset that he left us high and dry, but if we are lucky he may go the route of Joe Johnson and Edgerin James who both jumped their successful team for more mulah and look what it got them. I see Ben didn't take the extra cash and hire Rick Barry or Mark Price to help him shoot FT's over the summer as he put up a Ben like 1-6 from the FT line tonight. OBTW, I have not seen anybody upset that Mo Evans stepped in for Kobe yesterday and scored 12 points.....
Re: Big Ben's Debut Mark Price is actually the new head coach for a new 'expansion' basketball team in the Australian National League. The season just started a few weeks ago. Shane Heal came out of retirement to captain the squad. They're called the South Dragons based in Melbourne NBL > Dragons
Re: Big Ben's Debut It's easy to forget about someone you don't have to see again. It's impossible to forget about someone who leaves a major hole in your lineup, is basically chased out of town for his 6 years of hard work, is murdered by the local media, and will probably be handing your cakes to you 4 times a year and probably in the playoffs....forgetting is not an option.
Re: Big Ben's Debut I agree with you all the way Dre on us moving on. He'll do ok with Chicago and that's fine with me. He'll get some rebounds and miss his free throws. Life goes on. I'm fairly certain we weren't going to win another championship with him on the team anyhow. Let's support the guys we have now. People complained all summer long. Let's at least see how they do before we go into "Doom and Gloom" mode.
Re: Big Ben's Debut Is that a challenge? I'll take it. I still believe the Pistons will still mop up the Bulls with/without Ben.
Re: Big Ben's Debut Cue theme from the good, bad & ugly... showdown at high noon. "You're afeird of pullin' the trigger ya yella belly varmit"... "oh yeah, well yer fittin' ta be planted with da daisies" Stay tuned to the Low & Max duels Jan 6, Feb 25, March 29 & April 4th... may the best team kick dirt on the loser
Re: Big Ben's Debut Last year the Pistons swept the Bulls, I think Chicago will finally win a game at home against the Pistons. But Detroit will win 3 of 4. Ben looks like him self for a little bit even on the free throw line. But over the long haul this team will have a lot of low post problems on the offensive end. Brown and Ben in the starting line up may mesh but in the Playoffs it could be a problem. Ben will be fine this year, but I can see that he does not have the same freakish lift in the legs he use to have.
Re: Big Ben's Debut Depends on how much they play him. Also have to watch for how Chandler does in ATL. He was doing quit well closing out last season. They basically substituted Ben in for Chandler. Also - I can't see Brown doing much at his age. Low - look at the bright side. May have lost Ben but at least we got a new coach out of the deal...

GOP holds 'Super Saturday' as volunteers energize voters
Republican party officials said volunteers were out in a dozen battleground states expected to see close contests in the Nov. 6 election between Democratic President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
Obama captured all 12 — Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and Iowa — when he won the White House in 2008, aided by armies of enthusiastic supporters who helped generate the highest voter turnout in 40 years.
Romney will need to swing a number of them back to the Republican column to defeat Obama this year. Drumming up voter enthusiasm could be a key, especially given polls showing Democrats are more enthusiastic about the 2012 contest than Republicans.
"There's nothing to substitute for face-to-face, eye-to-eye contact," former Virginia Governor George Allen told volunteers in Fairfax.
Allen, also a former U.S. senator, is in a tight race against another former Virginia governor — and close Obama ally — Tim Kaine, to win back his old Senate seat.
A CNN poll this week said 59 percent of registered voters nationwide who describe themselves as Democrats are extremely or very enthusiastic about voting, up from 46 percent in March.
Fifty-one percent of registered voters who say they are Republicans are extremely or very enthusiastic about voting, unchanged since the earlier poll.
A Pew poll released this week found 60 percent of Republicans find the presidential campaign dull, compared with 46 percent of Democrats. But Romney raised more funds than Obama in May and is likely to be ahead of him in June when he pulled in more than $100 million.
Obama's campaign is mounting a massive volunteer organization again this year, after reactivating its 2008 network and creating a heavy presence in social media.
In Virginia, Democrats have been holding voter registration drives as often as several times a week, and making telephone calls and knocking on doors in weekend events for months.
But Republican officials said they were determined to catch up with an intense ground game of their own. The party and Romney's campaign have opened 23 offices in the state in the hope of recapturing Virginia's 13 electoral votes this year.
"No matter how much the president decides to stick into the state, we're going to match them," one party official said.
In Fairfax, about 120 Republicans came out in 106-degree F (41-degree C) heat on Saturday to knock on voters' doors. Dozens staffed a telephone bank.
Jane Pyrak, 51, a stay-at-home mother of three from Annandale, said she volunteered twice a week and expected to do even more as the election came closer.
A lifelong Republican, she said she became part of the fiscally conservative Tea Party movement because she opposed Obama's economic stimulus and healthcare reform plans. She said she also opposes Obama's support for abortion rights.
"This is the most active I've been in my life," Pyrak said. "It's very exciting."
Republican officials said they did not have an estimate of how many people had participated in "Super Saturday" nationwide, but were sure it was in the thousands.
They plan to hold similar events once a month until the election, to contact voters and collect data they can use to make decisions such as where to deploy volunteers or focus voter turnout efforts during the last weeks of the campaign.
Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate in 44 years to win in Virginia four years ago, but Republicans have dominated elections in the state in each of the three years since.

Lewis Thomas was born in Flushing, New York, and received his medical degree from Harvard University, with a specialization in internal medicine and pathology. He has been a professor at several medical schools, as well as dean of the Yale Medical School. Most recently Thomas has been chancellor and president emeritus of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and professor of medicine at the Cornell Medical School. His erudite books have earned him a wide audience, making him one of the best-known advocates of science in the United States during the past 20 years. For example, The Lives of a Cell won the National Book Award in arts and letters in 1974, and The Medusa and the Snail won the American Book Award for science in 1981.

Table Mountain is a large flattop mountain in the far southwestern corner of Africa. It overlooks the industry and sprawling suburbs of Cape Town, and provides a silent retreat from the city's noisy streets. Its deeply scarred and craggy sandstone cliffs are one of the most popular climbs in the world, and there are over 500 documented routes to the top, many of them serious technical climbs. The mountain's summit is often obscured within a low cloud, sometimes referred to as The Table Cloth. Interestingly, the summit averages over 70 inches of annual precipitation, while Cape Town only receives 25 inches. Consequently, vegetation on the summit grows much more luxuriantly than on the land below.

The SONGS Remains the Same
Jun 13, 2013 by Peter Allen Business, Culture Comments (1)
The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) will finally close after a lengthy and expensive effort to keep the power plant operational.
Last Friday, Edison International—one of the largest investor-owned utilities in the country—announced that it would permanently retire the troubled San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). The decision ended 18 months of uncertainty for Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) customers, after a January 2012 leak caused the plant to be shut down. The shutdown and now retirement of the plant has made our state's energy future uncertain.
County Makes Correct Call on Jail Letters

Most people do not consider jail inmates to be an empathic interest group. But many in custody are innocent, as they have not yet been proven guilty, and as a matter of law and right they must be treated justly. That's why the Santa Clara County Department of Corrections (DOC) was right in halting a new proposal to limit mail in county jails.
Shirakawa Shadow Still Looms over Campos
Jun 12, 2013 by The Fly Politics, The Fly Comments (4)
San Jose Councilman Xavier Campos is already under investigation by the Fair Political Practices Commission, and a new charge against his buddy, former county Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr., could make matters worse.
Will Xavier Campos ever break free of George Shirakawa Jr.'s shadow? Last week, District Attorney Jeff Rosen announced a new felony charge against Shirakawa after the former county supervisor's DNA was found on a stamp affixed to a 2010 political hit piece against Magdalena Carrasco, Campos' San Jose council opponent that year. Campos released a statement that failed to deny involvement. A look back at some of his 2010 campaign disclosure forms has now created some intriguing new questions.

When the sun goes down, big-rig truck drivers parallel park on Baytech Drive in the Alviso neighborhood so they can rest for the night. It's not illegal, but it is annoying, says City Councilman Kansen Chu. Other items going before the Rules and Open Government Committee on Wednesday include Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen fighting for the public's right to take photos in public spaces and potential raises for City Manager Debra Figone and City Attorney Rich Doyle.
District Attorney Charges 48 Nuestra Familia Gang Members in Grand Jury Indictment
Jun 11, 2013 by Jennifer Wadsworth Culture Comments (10)
The District Attorney's office announced Tuesday that a grand jury has indicted 48 members of the Nuestra Family gang. The charges range from meth sales to murder.
Dozens of alleged Nuestra Familia gang members were indicted by a criminal grand jury on 77 charges, which range from meth sales to murder. It's the largest gang case Santa Clara County has ever tackled: 48 people charged in a hefty 99-page indictment. "This is a sophisticated, complex criminal organization that required a sophisticated, multi-faceted law enforcement and prosecutorial response," District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement released Tuesday morning.
Psycho Donuts Creates Foie Gras Controversy on 'National Donut Day'
Jun 11, 2013 by Jennifer Wadsworth Business, Culture Comments (53)
Psycho Donuts found itself under fire for creating a pastry with Foie gras filling, which it calls a "Foie bomb."
Psycho Donuts scared off some of its vegan customers and incurred the wrath of animal rights groups Friday, National Donut Day, when it gave out free Foie gras donuts to the morning's first batch of customers. Though California last year outlawed sale of force-fed-until-fat-engorged goose and duck livers, the state doesn't ban giveaways. This did not sit well with the Internet.

San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed and the City Council are expected to finalize a budget at Tuesday's council meeting. A final public hearing will then be held Monday, June 17.
For the second consecutive year in a decade, the city appears ready to adopt a budget without service reductions and layoffs and a greater focus on restoring public safety cuts. The City Council will finalize that budget Tuesday while also discussing increased a business tax amnesty, extending a library parcel tax and street maintenance.

George Shirakawa Jr., right, and his attorney John Williams speak to Judge Philip Pennypacker at Friday's sentencing hearing.
George Shirakawa Jr. remains free after his hearing Friday, at which he was scheduled to be sentenced for misusing campaign and county funds.

That is a familiar image, isn't it? The well-traveled, world-weary suitcase, littered with stickers from places visited from Alaska to Zimbabwe. The trusty suitcase that is lugged from state to state and country to country: it may be battered and bruised, but it serves its owner well as they globe-trot across the world.
I used to be envious of the owners of those suitcases. That image motivated me to have my own beat-up, decorated travel companion to visit far off places with.

Last year I bought "last years" Samsung Blue ray that had the same smart hub ...
Wolfe's Den: Sony Streams with Style
Alexander Wolfe
Well, I'm here to tell you not to talk smack about Sony. That's because Santa put a new Sony Blu-ray DVD player next to my Menorah, and it was a revelation. (The DVD player, that is. My candles burned out after half an hour.)
Sony's trio of Blu-ray boxes, which begin at under $100, present as lowly DVD players. What they really are is streaming video-entertainment portals. You wouldn't know that, though, because Apple and Roku have sucked up all the media oxygen in the streaming space.
In contrast, Sony has created a killer device that it's unfortunately messaging to consumers at mouse-like volume. So, yes, Virginia, if you're looking for a way to watch Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Instant Video, Sony's the ticket. Actually, it's better, because you're getting what amounts to a DVD player thrown in for free.
I'm going to break my admonition from above, and do the trash talking myself: Hey Sony, how come your technology is so good yet your marketing so bad? Did you know that your S390 DVD player is number nine of Amazon's list of electronics best sellers? And that it's spent a Beatlesque 229 days on the top 100 chart?
On the entertainment front, Sony may still be reeling from the nearly month-long outage of its Playstation Network in mid 2011. (For those unfamiliar, PSN is the single most mission-critical connection for teenaged boys of all ages.) And its Sony Entertainment Network seems unlike to unseat the aforementioned Netflixes and Amazons of the world. Indeed, there' s a cogent case to be made that those streaming content providers are themselves in the process of killing cable television, but that's for another post.
Mostly, Sony is screwed -- can I write that? -- by its financials. Sony lost almost $200 million in its recently reported fiscal quarter. To climb out of its hole, Sony is amidst a major restructuring, driving by the tanking of the HDTV television business. You can't cull cash out of a commodity market, and manufacturing flat-screen displays -- which is what TVs essentially are--is a low-margin loser.
So Sony is trying is refocus on cameras, video games, and mobile devices. However, as our own Junko Yoshida has reported, this isn't going to be an easy row to hoe. Remember though that Sony had $79 billion in revenue for last fiscal years, which ended March 31, 2012. Difficult as times are right now, this is a company that I believe is fixable. However, a correction will only come if the Japanese ethos of consensus is infused with the type of boldness Sony's late co-founder Akio Morita used to bring to the table.
To loop back to where Santa and I came in, my Christmas DVD unboxing led me to the thought that, as regards Sony, everyone's putting the financial cart before the product horse. And it should really be the other way around.
I don't know if streaming video technology smarts will breathe new life into Bravias. I'm also guessing that the margins of video and DVD boxes must be pretty poor. Finally, I realize that an also-ran captive entertainment network can't be the blades to one's DVD-player razors if no one's interested in said network.
Still, to say that Sony can't do legendary products is to ignore the instruction sheet which didn't come with my S390 Blu-ray player. Actually, it did have an "operating instructions" manual, but that pamphlet made no mention of any of the available streaming network options, other than the one no one wants. Btw, as another example of Sony's tech brilliance, you don't need the manual to successfully set up the player. It sets itself up, and if not, just ask any kid living in your house if they've got 10 minutes to spare.
I'll close with a catty, but true, piece of revenue-generating advice for Sony: When you have great products, try to stock them in your stores. The Sony Style store in Long Island's Roosevelt Field mall was out of DVD players over the holidays. I found that out after the clerk I was talking finished clicking away on a keyboard, and asked whether he could order one for me, off of Sony's Web site.
So I bought the player at Best Buy, proving that showroom aesthetics don't trump suboptimum supply chain management.
It would be great to see Sony get its mojo back.
IMHO, Apple has been a huge imitator of Sony's minimalist style and marketing as well as its bent for classy industrial design and a trend-setting sense of what's possible and cool.
Amazing to think there once was a day when we laughed at M'soft's early attempts at video game consoles in the face of the strength of Sony and Nintendo.
I guess I don't get why this should be so hard.
Perhaps 3 years ago now, I saw a really cool Sony Vaio TV box. It could do Internet access, BluRay player, and PVR functions. It came with all the standard TV interconnects (HDMI and analog), and with a wireless keyboard and a wireless remote. Too bad it retailed for $1600. The OS was Microsoft Vista, at the time. And it allowed one to install a TV tuner for over the air broadcasts.
Not long after seeing that, I built essentially the same thing, out of a standard PC with Win7. *Anyone* can do this. My TV has RGB interface, so I used that vs buying an HDMI adapter card. Wireless remote keyboard and mouse. Cost way less than $1600, and I can use it for anything I use a typical PC to do, and also watch Internet TV, watch music videos, whatever, on my 42" HD set and decent audio system. Not to mention, Win7 Home Premium comes with a really nice Microsoft Media Center, in case you install a TV tuner card into the PC (I did not, mainly because TVs and PVRs already have built-in tuners).
Point being, if Sony could build that Vaio box so many years ago, why does Sony find it so difficult AT LEAST to build a proper Internet browser into it "connected TV" products?
Aside from Sony and other TV manufacturers, I really don't get why consumers, who by now have become so adept at anything Internet related, have this insurmountable mental block when it comes to TV content. There are plenty of Internet TV sites out there. Starting with the networks themselves, e.g. abc.com, cbs.com, nbc.com, etc. (each one offering full-length episodes), your own local TV broadcasters offer content online, Hulu and Hulu Plus, Amazon, Netflix, not to mention a vast amount of YouTube content and lots of other more obscure web sites, with movies and videos.
No need to be slaved to one portal, one search engine, AppleTv, iTunes, or subscriptions. C'mon people, wake up.
Alexander Wolfe, EE Times
Bert- You're correct in pointing out the browser, and there's another interface issue I neglected to mention (and it's not just Sony at fault here. I'm talking about the ersatz on-screen imitations of keyboards. Makes searching/accessing content on all the services a pain. Re the browser, the Sony one isn't horrendous, but of course it doesn't support flash so it's not much use.
Right, Alex, and there's also not much excuse for these obvious shortcomings.
The average person today needs simply this: make the entire Internet accessible from my TV set. Just as it is from my sit-up-to-it PC, or smartphone, or tablet.
Why is this difficult?
And by the way, this average consumer already knows how to search and how to browse, how to add bookmarks, load Adobe Flash, how to keep Adobe Flash up to date, and all the rest.
This should be way, way easier to solve than cramming Internet access onto tiny smartphones or tablets.
Looks slick. Does it stream everything you want it to? HBO Go? YouTube? Those are my 2 issues with Roku... it streams everything else but not the two aforementioned, rendering it slightly crippled!
My Roku lists HBO Go as an available channel.
Also, though Roku doesn't provide access to YouTube directly, there are supposedly Roku channels that provide this access.
Note that I haven't tried either one, however.
