|Condition or disease
|Postural Tachycardia Syndrome Orthostatic Intolerance
|Drug: Carbidopa Drug: Placebo
|Phase 2 Phase 3
We will determine whether inhibition of renal dopamine formation by carbidopa administration leads to a decrease in urinary excretion of dopamine and sodium and whether the response differs in POTS and control populations. Carbidopa effects will be compared to those of a matching placebo, and the sequence of treatments (carbidopa before placebo or placebo before carbidopa) will be randomized.
Each subject will undergo a complete history and physical examination, including an electrocardiogram (EKG).
- After achieving sodium balance on a 200 mEq/day sodium diet, subjects will collect urine over 24hr for baseline assessment of sodium and catecholamines.
- On this day, the subjects will be admitted to the CRC.
- An 18 gauge intravenous catheter will be inserted in order to draw blood.
- The subjects will fast from 7 pm until after the next morning's testing.
- In the morning, while still supine after the overnight sleep, heart rate and blood pressure will be recorded, and blood will be drawn. The subjects will then stand for 10 minutes. Heart rate and blood pressure will be measured at intervals, and an upright blood sample will be collected.
- The subjects will be asked to collect their urine to end the 24hr urine collection. Another 24hr urine collection will be started.
- Treatment A (Carbidopa 200mg or placebo) will be given orally following the void, at approximately 7 am. Additional doses will be taken every 6 hours with the last dose at 7 am the following morning.
- Subjects will be free to follow their normal routine during the day until returning to the CRC for the night. However, they will need to consume the 200 mEq/day study diet for each meal, collect all urine, and take study medication on schedule
- After returning to the CRC, the subjects will fast after 7 pm.
- In the morning, supine and standing heart rate and blood pressure will be recorded, and the subjects will be asked to collect their urine to end the 24hr urine collection.
- The final dose of study medication (Carbidopa 200mg or placebo) will be given orally following the void, at approximately 7 am.
- Supine heart rate and blood pressure will be measured and supine blood samples will be collected hourly for 4 hours after the treatment and at 8 hours after the treatment. Subjects must rest supine for at least 30 minutes before each blood draw.
- At 2 hours after treatment, subjects will stand for 10 minutes for upright blood pressure and heart rate measurements and collection of an upright blood sample, as described above. Participants will be asked to rate the severity of common orthostatic symptoms while supine and upright.
- Urine will be collected for two 4-hour periods after treatment and from 8 hours to 24 hours after treatment.
- Fixed-sodium study diet will be provided after the 4-hour measurements and in the evening.
After at least a 1 day washout period, the study will be repeated with Treatment B

'Were' is correct.
If the fact that they are going home is still true at the moment of reporting, 'are' is also possible.
What do you mean by 'getting numb'?
Student or Learner
"I heard them say they are going home and getting numb."
Is the sentence above right?
Shoudn't there be "were" in the sentence?
'Were' is correct.
If the fact that they are going home is still true at the moment of reporting, 'are' is also possible.
What do you mean by 'getting numb'?
To get numb is to get so drunk you can't feel your arms, legs, face, etc.
Do you think it's possible to use this phrase to describe such a state?
entry for this phrase.
I don't think that it's a well-established phrase (only three thumbs up). Most people would say 'Let's get wasted!' or 'Let's get hammered!' rather than 'Let's get numb!'
As an aside, there is a related phrase. I was feeling no pain after my first drink.
There is the context in the urban dictionary.
-Hey girl, what are the guys doing tonight?
-Oh those a******s, I heard them say they are going home and getting numb.
So is it right that there is "are" rather than "were"? Or maybe it is non-standart English.
Here is the question that interests me much more than phrase "getting numb".
Well, I find it rather hard for me.
Could you give a link or advise me any book where I could find any informaton about using a present tense in subordinate clause, while main clause was in a past tense?
Because the only thing I've found is that we can use a presen tense in subordinate clause when
subordinate clause expresses some universal truth. But I guess it's not our case.
When the thing reported is introduced by a past-tense verb of speech, backshifting is always correct. However, if the situation reported is still true, then backshifting is not essential.
On Monday, John says to Peter, "I am going to France on Wednesday",
On Tuesday, Peter reports: John told me he was/is going to France tomorrow/on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Peter reports: John told me he was
/isgoing to France yesterday/on Weednesday.

It was a long time in coming, but the WWE has finally released the compendium of perhaps the most significant individual achievement on the world's biggest wrestling stage -- the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
The main shortcoming, though, is that the WWE doesn't really make much of a big deal out of it.
Appropriately titled Undertaker 15-0, the approximately three-hour single DVD reveals 'Taker's various incarnations, starting as an unbeatable monster heel to babyface, "American Bad Ass" biker, and a return to his popular "Dead Man" gimmick.
The Undertaker's �Mania debut comes in 1991 at WrestleMania 7, in what is essentially a squash match against Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. The looks of wide-eyed wonder on many of the faces in the crowd as �Taker makes his slow entrance to the ring reveals the freshness of his gimmick, (first debuted at 1990's Survivor Series), as the fans don't seem to know what to make of this apparent giant zombie.
By WrestleMania 8 against Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Undertaker has gone from creepy ghoul to fan favourite. Even during subsequent heels turns in the years to come, �Taker's supporters don't seem to significantly diminish.
One wonders that if in an effort to keep things interesting, the WWE begins pitting Undertaker against opponents far greater in size than ever before, as he takes on a series of super heavyweights like Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Diesel, Sycho Sid, Kane (twice), Mark Henry, and Batista. �Taker even faces A-Train and Big Show alone in a handicap match at WrestleMania 19.
Perhaps most striking is the Undertaker's endurance as a top big man performer, best demonstrated by his amazing suicide dive against Batista at WrestleMania 23. His dominance as a main-eventer is also not lost on the viewer, as he wins two heavyweight crowns at the WWE's headline show -- versus Sid and then Batista at the thirteenth and twenty-third instalments of WrestleMania, respectively.
Given the importance attached to the streak, one should be able to forgive the WWE for releasing a DVD that contains matches previously released on the last �Taker collection -- Tombstone: The History of the Undertaker, -- namely his WrestleMania 12, 14, 17, and 20 performances.
Less acceptable is the fact Undertaker's matches from six WrestleMania's -- 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 21 -- aren't shown in their entirety.
Another bizarre drawback is the DVD case's false promise of interviews from "many" of the Undertaker's opponents, for there isn't even one to be found.
The fact the unbeaten streak is a big enough deal to warrant a DVD suggests the WWE could have done more to hype the achievement. But for whatever reason, no extras whatsoever have been included. There isn't even a pull out inside the case to read (at least not in mine), which further gives the package a rather slapped together feel to it.
U.S. buyers also might have felt aggravation over the WWE's decision to only allow Wal-Mart to sell this disc.
Undertaker fans, though, should still get a kick out of the DVD as this amazing streak has finally been compiled for easy viewing.

News Release 09-083
Video Available: A Celebration of the International Polar Year
The event was held April 6, 2009, at the National Academy of Sciences

This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
On Monday, April 6, 2009, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) jointly hosted a celebration of the early research accomplishments of the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008.
IPY fieldwork, a two-year deployment of scientists from more than 60 nations into the polar regions, officially concluded on March 1, 2009, but science results from IPY-funded research can be expected to be published for many months and even years to come.
The U.S. National Committee for IPY, established by the Academy's Polar Research Board, formulated the vision for U.S. participation in IPY.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy identified NSF as the lead federal agency for coordinating U.S. IPY activities. NSF administers the U.S. Antarctic Program and the NSF director chairs the Interagency Arctic Policy Research Committee.
The afternoon seminar at the Academy was held in conjunction with a morning event organized by the U.S. Department of State related to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, a joint meeting of the Arctic Council and a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the landmark Antarctic Treaty, which sets Antarctica aside as a continent for peaceful uses and for scientific research.
The IPY event was attended by officials from many of the nations involved in the Treaty meeting and the Arctic Council.
As noted by Arden L. Bement, Jr., NSF director, in his opening remarks, the IPY celebration occurred exactly 100 years to the day after U.S. explorer Matthew Henson became the first person to stand at the North Pole. Henson, a native of Maryland, was a member of the expedition led by Adm. Robert E. Peary. Henson was belatedly honored by the nation for his achievement and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
The agenda for the afternoon celebration included:
A welcome by James White, chair of the Polar Research Board. Opening remarks by Ralph J. Cicerone, president of the National Academy of Sciences and Bement, followed by six 20-minute talks about various aspect of IPY research.
Karl A. Erb, director of NSF's Office of Polar Programs, and David Bromwich, of Ohio State University, introduced the speakers, who included:
- Richard Alley, Pennsylvania State University
- Hajo Eicken, University of Alaska Fairbanks
- David Holland, New York University
- Timothy Killeen, NSF's assistant director for geosciences
- Stephanie Pfirman, Barnard College
- Diana Wall, Colorado State University

Sky Bet Championship: Nugent leaves it late to claim Leicester the points
Leicester beat Leeds United 1-0 at Elland Road on Saturday, with David Nugent netting a late winner for the visitors.
Last Updated: 20/01/14 9:07am
Nugent benefited from substitute Kevin Phillips' dummy following defender Liam Moore's cross into the box and forced home an 87th-minute winner as Leicester racked up a sixth straight league victory.
Defeat was cruel on Leeds, who restored their pride with a much-improved display before being left to rue a host of missed first-half chances.
After following up a humiliating FA Cup defeat at Rochdale with a 6-0 drubbing at Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday last week, Brian McDermott's side were under considerable pressure to keep their season alive.
Leeds' newly-appointed skipper Ross McCormack was denied by the woodwork and could have scored a hat-trick in the first 45 minutes while Leicester, for whom Jamie Vardy also hit the post, always looked capable of stealing all the points.
McDermott, whose side have lost their last five matches, made four changes to the side humbled at Hillsborough last week in front of another live television audience.
Right-back Sam Byram, midfielder Michael Brown, striker Luke Varney and left-back Stephen Warnock were all recalled, while Leicester were unchanged from the side that dismantled Derby.
McDermott will have been delighted with his side's start as they forced the visitors on to the back foot, with McCormack heading Varney's cross against the post in the sixth minute.
But Leicester quickly demonstrated why they are currently top, a lightning counter-attack ending with Vardy's sweetly struck shot also crashing against the post.
McCormack then had a clever goalbound lob headed off the goal line by Leicester midfielder Matty James and visiting goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel denied his former club with a fine one-handed save to keep out the in-form Scot's skimming drive.
McDermott looked on in disbelief soon after as McCormack wasted another gild-edged chance, shooting tamely at Schmeichel when through one-on-one following Paul Konchesky's kamikaze backpass.
Leeds threatened again when Jimmy Kebe raced on to McCormack's deft pass, but the French winger's ball across the face of goal evaded Varney and then defender Tom Lees headed the impressive Warnock's cross over the bar with the goal at his mercy.
Leicester served warning again though in the 32nd minute, Anthony Knockaert combining with Ritchie De Laet before firing a rising drive over the crossbar.
Visiting pair Knockaert and Lloyd Dyer were booked in quick succession soon after the restart, but Leicester were first to threaten through James' curling right-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area.
Leeds lost some of their intensity an hour into the contest and Leicester began to enjoy more possession without carving out any chances.
Leeds winger Cameron Stewart all of a sudden sprang to life on his home debut with two deflected shots that lifted the home support.
But while the game remained goalless the visitors retained a belief they could pinch all the points, especially after new signing Phillips came on for his debut and narrowly cleared the crossbar with a shot on the turn.
Leicester's winner came with three minutes of normal time left. Moore swung in a cross and after Phillips had let the ball run through to Nugent, the Foxes leading goalscorer poked home the ball to leave Leeds crestfallen.

Week 5 is in the books, and the best team is ... well, still the best team.
The Houston Texans (barely) disposed of the New York Jets on Monday night, despite not playing their most impressive game. While 5-0 Houston will cruise home to face the reeling Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, their Monday night opponents are 2-3 and searching for a passing game.
One of the lowlights of the 23-17 Jets loss was when Tim Tebow entered the fray to a roar around the stadium. The most famous backup quarterback since Steamin' Willie Beamen threw an almost-perfect deep ball that should've been caught by Jason Hill. It wasn't.
Best throw that side of the ball all night...RT @harrison_nfl: Hey, that was a heckuva throw by Tebowâ M Titus (@Mtitus6) October 9, 2012
Too bad that would be the only throw for Tebow all night. And just one in a myriad of reasons why the Jets are stuck in reverse. Speaking of Twitter, if you have a complaint or thought about our Power Rankings, hit me up at @Harrison_NFL.
As for the other 30 teams in the league, let the dissension commence ...
(Note: Arrows reflect change in standings from last week's Power Rankings.)
PREVIOUS RANKINGS: Week 5 | Week 4 | Week 3 | Week 2 | Week 1
Our top-ranked team didn't look amazing Monday night, but the Texans still were in control throughout, as they've been all season (unlike the 49ers and Falcons). With the effectiveness of its ground attack, Houston makes it so tough on teams to climb back into games. Arian Foster put up a 152 spot in the rushing column against Rex Ryan's defense. Combine that with a relentless front seven on defense and the perfect Texans are still No. 1.
Who thought
Ryan Fitzpatrick and the
Buffalo Bills had a shot in San Francisco on Sunday? Yeah, me neither.
San Francisco has won its past two games by a combined score of 79-3. Just sayin', before we get to the "Atlanta should be No. 2" argument.
Atlanta eked out a win for the second time in as many weeks, with the Washington Redskins falling just short this time around. A win is a win, I suppose. Good to see Julio Jones haul in 10 passes after totaling 10 catches over the previous three weeks combined. Meanwhile, it appears Michael Turner has nine lives in the Atlanta offense. Every week, we hear about the 30-year-old running back being phased out, but he still carried the rock 18 times and scored the winning touchdown with less than three minutes remaining. The Falcons will need him to continue closing out games.
There aren't many 9-6 games in the NFL anymore -- the current rules just aren't conducive to defensive dogfights -- but they're pretty cool in my mind. The only downside for the Ravens is the gaping hole that is their run defense. Kansas City eclipsed 200 yards rushing, and Ray Lewis was overwhelmed on several occasions. Interesting factoid from Baltimore's win: This contest featured 45 passes total -- the lowest figure in any game all year.
Chicago looked downright dominant in a 41-3 road win. I said on "NFL Fantasy Live" last week that we needed to see more from Brandon Marshall after a couple of underwhelming games, and we got that Sunday in Jacksonville. Marshall destroyed the Jaguars secondary with 12 catches, 144 yards and a score. Oh, and the defense is still ridiculously good, as you can see here.
Bill Belichick made his intentions clear on Sunday: He will employ whichever running back feels right -- not just game-to-game, but play-to-play. Stevan Ridley gained more than 100 yards again, yet Brandon Bolden, Danny Woodhead and even Shane Vereen also got some run in a win over the Denver Broncos. It will be interesting to see how many carries Ridley gets this week in Seattle -- that's not a team you can afford to turn the ball over against.
Getting 200 yards from Ahmad Bradshaw was absolutely huge, from a big-picture standpoint. New York's two biggest issues early in the year have been an inconsistent running game and a mediocre secondary. If Big Blue can take some of the load off Eli Manning, get Hakeem Nicks healthy and force takeaways by way of interceptions -- New York picked off Brandon Weeden twice -- this team can win the Super Bowl -- again.
Like 'em or not, the Vikings have earned a spot in the top 10. If you want to see a premier pitch-and-catch play, look no further than Christian Ponder's perfect lob to a double-covered Kyle Rudolph in the back of the end zone last Sunday -- ri-DONK-ulous. Yes, the second week of October is crack-of-dawn-ish when it comes to talking about Coach of the Year candidates. No, an early endorsement of Leslie Frazier is not out of line.
A whole bunch of teams that were ranked ahead of the Steelers last week dropped games, thus the big jump here. Ben Roethlisberger showed why he is such a big-time quarterback on the definitive drive against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite pedestrian numbers (21-for-37, 207 yards, no touchdowns), Pittsburgh's franchise quarterback converted a third-and-12 -- from his own 18 -- stepping into a laser to Antonio Brown for 20 yards. Roethlisberger would convert a third down later in the drive en route to the game-winning Shaun Suisham field goal.
Despite the loss, Arizona still has an opportunity to be very good this season, and could earn a wild-card berth. But this team isn't going anywhere until the leaky offensive line shores things up. Ken Whisenhunt's front five has been nothing short of abysmal in protecting (or failing to protect) Kevin Kolb. The really scary thing? This unit's even worse at run-blocking.
This football team might point back to the Week 5 loss in Pittsburgh as the downfall to its playoff positioning, or lack thereof. Thank goodness it wasn't a conference loss. But still, it was the kind of defeat Eagles brass built this team to not endure. With Philly's pass rush and cover corners, the Steelers should not have been able to convert on third-and-a-mile deep in their own territory -- before marching down the field for the winning field goal.
If you couldn't tell Thursday night, this St. Louis defense can play, and is an especially tough matchup at home. Coming into the Week 5 bout with Arizona, the Rams held opposing quarterbacks to a sorry 64.8 passer rating, the lowest figure in the NFL. Kevin Kolb did a little better with a 72.8, but he was sacked nine times in the process. This ball-hawking defense has allowed just two touchdowns over the air while picking off eight passes.
The formula Pete Carroll and Co. developed pulled out another win, and will pretty much keep this team in every game: play organized, aggressive defense, run the football, and don't put the offense on the quarterback's shoulders. Regardless of his two interceptions, Russell Wilson made some nice throws in Carolina, ultimately going 19-for-25 and gaining an average of 8.8 yards every time the ball left his hand. Put the Matt Flynn Watch on hold.
What a weird season for Green Bay. For now, they get a big drop, thanks in part to the injury bug hitting Cedric Benson and Greg Jennings, as well as atrocious O-line play. The two biggest issues that could prevent Green Bay from making the playoffs are poor pass protection and lackluster secondary play. Regarding the latter note, it appeared Dom Capers had shored up the back end after a big Thursday night win over the Bears. But Drew Brees (446 yards) and Andrew Luck (362) tore up the Pack, particularly when it counted.
Much talk about Willis McGahee's late fumble in the loss at New England -- maybe too much talk. Sure, in a 10-point game, with 3:42 on the clock, the Broncos might have scored a touchdown. Might. But the fumble in question wouldn't have made a difference if Patriots RB Stevan Ridley hadn't coughed up the football on the previous possession. Truthfully, New England was in control throughout. The bottom line is, Denver can't keep backing itself into a corner with mistakes. Peyton Manning shouldn't be dropping back nearly 50 times, either. Run the football and keep Manning fresh -- like in the Week 1 win over Pittsburgh. That's the key.
Excruciating loss in New Orleans on Sunday night, which, frankly, shouldn't have happened. If Melvin Ingram doesn't personally foul Drew Brees, the Chargers have a pick-six and an absolutely commanding 31-14 second-half lead. San Diego likely would be sitting atop the West at 4-1. OK, the penalty was a big deal, but Norval Turner's club is still in first, even at 3-2, and the defense has shown some serious signs of improvement. The Bolts finished 22nd in scoring defense last season, but they're 11th this year.
The Bengals couldn't afford to lose that home game. But they did. With the loss to the Dolphins -- certainly a winnable matchup -- Cincinnati essentially fell two games behind the Ravens in the AFC North, due to their blowout loss in Baltimore back in Week 1. Andy Dalton's next step in his progression as a franchise quarterback will be pulling out games like the one against the Dolphins.
Hopefully Jason Garrett used the bye week to a) figure out how to help the interior of the offensive line, which has been terrible at times; b) teach Dez Bryant how to play football; and c) have a talk with himself about not abandoning the ground game so easily.
Although I
picked the Packers to beat the Colts in my weekly predictions, I quickly found myself pulling for Indy, given
Chuck Pagano's situation and how much fight the
Colts showed in overcoming a 21-3 deficit. Put another way: It felt great
to be wrong. The most surprising aspect was the outstanding play of the
Colts' secondary despite the absence of
Vontae Davis and Justin King.
Aaron Rodgers looked mortal on more than one occasion, and much credit should be given to Indianapolis defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, whose pass rush got home five times.
Oh, and by the way, if Reggie Wayne's ridiculous performance (13 catches, 212 yards and one very clutch touchdown) didn't convince you he's a Hall of Famer -- with or without Peyton Manning -- we've got nothing for ya here ...
Detroit was off in Week 5. We try not to move teams much, if at all, after bye weeks. Much hand-wringing these days regarding the play of Matt Stafford. Bear in mind that he's faced some pretty decent secondaries/pass rushes in San Francisco and St. Louis. Perhaps more important to Detroit right now is how to fix the special teams play, which is killing the Lions.
The Jets put their fastest defensive back on the field to play receiver. Said player got one-on-on coverage and beat his man by three yards ... only to have Mark Sanchez not only underthrow him, but lead him out of bounds, to boot. Nothing encapsulates the 2012 New York Jets like this Antonio Cromartie play.
Miami is beginning to show the rest of the league that it's no joke, especially on the defensive side of the ball. If you play
fantasy football, which all of you do, the Miami front seven is almost becoming what you would call a "can't play" -- as in, you can't play your fantasy running backs against the 'Fins' defense. If you don't believe me, take a gander at what opposing starting tailbacks have done against them this season:
Week 1, Arian Foster: 26 carries, 79 yards.
Week 2, Darren McFadden: 11 carries, 22 yards.
Week 3, Shonn Greene: 19 carries, 40 yards.
Week 4, Ryan Williams: 13 carries, 26 yards.
Week 5, BenJarvus Green-Ellis: 9 carries, 14 yards.
Fantasy, reality, whatever -- makes no difference. Starting tailbacks have been MIA. (See what I did there? MIA ... Miami ... I know, awful.)
Washington gave Atlanta all it could handle Sunday afternoon, but came away on the losing end of a one-score game for the third time in four weeks. The issue here continues to be the secondary, which is on pace to give up 5,258 net yards passing. Defensive coordinator Jim Haslett's group simply cannot stop quarterbacks at the ends of games. Meanwhile, Robert Griffin III's mild concussion has filled up plenty of hours on D.C. radio. Yeah, that's a concern, but the Redskins still have to stop somebody.
Tampa Bay was on a bye last week, and it couldn't have come at a worse time. The Bucs have lost three in a row, most recently blowing a late lead to the Redskins in the waning moments at home. A huge problem has been the back seven's inability to get receivers' butts on the ground. The defense has allowed 625 yards after the catch, second only to the awful Saints defense.
What positives can Buffalo take away from the 45-3 loss to the Niners? Shawn Powell had a decent day punting: two inside the 20, one inside the 5, a 41.2-yard net average. So, there you go!
Carolina is 1-4, and about 80 percent of the blame can be attributed to two things: Cam Newton's accuracy problems and some of the worst tackling in the NFL. Even Panthers head coach Ron Rivera acknowledges his team can't tackle. Case in point: Charles Johnson's woeful attempt to bring down Marshawn Lynch on the penultimate third down of the loss to the Seahawks.
Home fans cheering when their own player is seriously hurt is never cool. Lamar Hunt must be turning over in his grave.
This is a bye week in New Orleans, though the players would probably rather play, as they're finally coming off a W. Drew Brees was scary good for most of Sunday night, but we should mention that his 48-game streak with a touchdown pass is a bit different from Johnny U's. Unitas did it during an era when receivers could be chucked all the way down the field, and a good year for a quarterback meant 15-20 touchdown passes, not 30-40, like it does today. Still, the way Brees connected with Marques Colston time and again, even in tight coverage, gives the Saints some much-needed hope. Next up: at Tampa Bay in Week 7.
It must be so frustrating to be a Jaguars fan. The team's most glaring offensive hole has not been filled, as this space detailed last week. The quarterback position is giving the club nothing. Blaine Gabbert faced a tough assignment with the Bears coming to town -- no doubt -- but 17 of 33 for 142 yards, two picks and a lost fumble is particularly awful, considering he has zero track record to offset another miserable performance.
Chris Johnson: 15 carries, 24 yards. Just asking here, but -- for now -- does benching CJ2K give this team a better chance to win?
On another note that's also not positive, Tennessee is the first team in NFL history to allow 30 points or more in its first five games of the season.
At some point, Oakland must figure out what a first down is. Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp is in his first year back with Oakland since running into the JaMarcusberg a few years ago, and it isn't going well so far. The Raiders lead the NFL in three-and-outs, while rushing for a league-low 60.8 yards per game -- that's over 40 yards below the NFL average.
Ahh, the noise in the NFL.com/NFL Network offices when Josh Gordon caught a 62-yard touchdown pass to put Cleveland up 14-0 on the defending Super Bowl champions. Of course, it was only a matter of time before the shock and awe dissipated.

3) ask lots of questions (why does the model like these fields best? why not these other fields?)

Federico Fellini
Federico Fellini (fādārē´kō fāl-lē´nē), 1920–93, Italian film director. After World War II he wrote screenplays for such neorealistic films as Rossellini's Open City and Paisan. He began directing in 1950 and quickly abandoned neorealism in favor of professional actors and scripted tales of almost fablelike simplicity that express a basically humanistic outlook.
He enjoyed international acclaim with I Vitelloni (1953), La Strada (1954; Academy Award), Nights of Cabiria (1957; Academy Award), La Dolce Vita (1960), and 81/2 (1963; Academy Award), the latter two widely considered his black-and-white masterpieces. Filmed in color beginning with Juliet of the Spirits (1965), his movies became a celebration of life in all its beauties and grotesqueries while also exploring Fellini's wildly imaginative dream life. These later works, including Fellini Satyricon (1969), Amarcord (1973; Academy Award), City of Women (1980), Ginger and Fred (1984), and Voices of the Moon (1990), feature international casts of distinctive faces and camera gymnastics that substitute for traditional drama.
See his tape-recorded autobiography (with C. Chandler) I, Fellini (1995); his Three Screenplays (tr. 1970); his The Book of Dreams (tr. 2008); biography by H. Alpert (1986, repr. 1998); study by G. Salachas (tr. 1969); Fellini: I'm a Born Liar (documentary film dir. by D. Pettigrew, 2002).

Just saw the thread about power con from afi, the first line is
Frostas arms are incorrect. They know it. They will offer full refunds for sub holders, but this is the only Frosta they will make. They will do a free gift as an apology to sub holders.
It sucks that Frosta will be incorrect but great to see them step up and admit and apologize for it. Offering something is a great "we are sorry" vs. the take it or leave it from Hssss and Roboto.
Any thoughts of what it could be? Hopes?

A fire that destroyed a large apartment complex under construction in Houston was under control by mid-afternoon on Tuesday, according to authorities.
The Houston Fire Department said the blaze that sent thick, black smoke billowing in to the sky and drew hundreds of emergency personnel was "under control" about two-and-a-half hours after it started.
All construction workers who had been in the high-rise building were accounted for, and no injuries have been reported.
Houston Fire Department spokesman Capt. Ruy Lozano told the Houston Chronicle that one man was rescued as he prepared to jump to safety. Fire officials said more than 200 emergency personnel had responded to the scene.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Lozano told the newspaper that high winds caused the fire to spread quickly. Much of the building was reduced to rubble Tuesday.
The dramatic blaze first was reported about 12:30 p.m. The fire was upgraded to a five-alarm call about an hour later.
Lash LaRue told the newspaper that he was installing phone lines on the fifth floor of the building when he heard a loud crash and then saw the ceiling collapsing and flames shooting through.
"It was wicked," LaRue said.

Suspected bomber's friend can't be trusted out of jail, feds say
By Neal Simpson, The Patriot Ledger
Federal prosecutors say a friend of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects cannot be trusted outside of jail and should remain behind bars while awaiting trial.
In a motion filed Monday, federal prosecutors urged the court not to release Quincy resident Khairullozhon Matanov, who worked as a taxi driver in Braintree.
He's accused of misleading investigators in the wake of the bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line last year. The response was filed after Matanov asked the court to revoke the detention order keeping him behind bars, saying he had no interest in leaving the country, even if he was facing a long prison sentence, the Patriot Ledger reported.
Matanov, a citizen of Kyrgyzstan who is in the U.S. legally, was arrested in late May and accused of lying to investigators about his relationship with alleged bombers Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar. Prosecutors say Matanov was a good friend of Tamerlan's and shared his belief in a "philosophical justification for violence," but they have not accused him of playing any role in the bombing or knowing anything about it beforehand.
Matanov initially waived his right to seek release while awaiting trial, with his attorney, Edward Hayden, saying he had no family in the U.S. and no place to go. But Matanov has since asked for his release and proposed several measures, including electronic monitoring and daily checks with probation officials, that he said would guarantee that he doesn't try to leave the country.
But prosecutors argued in the response filed Monday that Matanov had already shown that he is willing to lie to authorities and could not be trusted to be honest with probation officials if released. They said Matanov has a number of friends overseas, speaks seven languages and has wired more than $70,000 to people abroad, often using fake names.
"Mr. Matanov's family members or friends could serve as potential resources and conduits, giving him the ability to flee should his detention be revoked," prosecutors said in the response.
A hearing on Matanov's motion has not been scheduled.

These reviews helped underpin the decision by the European Commission to ban the three active ingredients from certain applications for a period of two years. In particular, the reviews identified shortcomings and gaps in the available data which prevented an holistic and exhaustive risk assessment from being carried out. One key uncertainty identified by EFSA in each case related to the role of guttation fluid exuded by commercial crop plants as a potential source of the chemicals to bees when they used it as a water source for themselves or for the colony as a whole.
The use of neonicotinoid insecticides as seed treatments and granules applied to soil is known to lead to these chemicals being present in the guttation fluid of various crop plants. Although the literature on this subject is sparse, the research carried out to date indicates that the neonicotinoids may be present at high concentrations. In order to investigate this phenomenon further, Greenpeace undertook a study of guttation fluid produced by maize plants grown in field conditions in Hungary, which according to the farmer had been treated with two different commercial seed treatment products. One field had been planted with seeds treated with Poncho®, with clothianidin as the active ingredient, while the other had been planted with seeds treated with Cruiser®, with thiamethoxam as the active ingredient. Samples of guttation fluid were sampled from each field over a number of days and analysed using UPLC-MS/MS techniques.
These findings, and their potential toxicological significance to bees both on an individual and whole colony level, suggests that, not only is the current restriction on the three neonicotinoid insecticides wholly justified, but that it should be maintained at least until the potential significance of guttation fluid as a water resource for bees is fully characterised, and until the other identified areas of uncertainty and missing information identified by EFSA are resolved. The scale and scope of the necessarily small-scale study conducted here needs to be expanded to include the full spectrum of crops grown using neonicotinoid seed dressings. In addition, the significance of guttation as a toxicological exposure route for bees needs to be investigated not only for a variety of crops but also under the full variety of growing conditions encountered for these crops across the European Community, in order to extend the currently highly limited information base available.

A major new talent tackles the complicated terrain of sisters.
A winsome novel that explores sibling rivalry, the power of books,
and the places we decide to call home.
"See, we love each other. We just don't like each other very much."
The Andreas sisters were raised on books - their family motto might as well be, 'There's no problem a library card can't solve.'
Their father, a renowned, eccentric professor of Shakespearean studies, named them after three of the Bard's most famous characters: Rose (Rosalind - As You Like It), Bean (Bianca - The Taming of the Shrew), and Cordy (Cordelia - King Lear), but they have inherited those characters' failures along with their strengths.
Now the sisters have returned home to the small college town where they grew up - partly because their mother is ill, but mostly because their lives are falling apart and they don't know where to go next.
Rose, a staid mathematics professor, has the chance to break away from her quiet life and join her devoted fiance in England, if she could only summon up the courage to do more than she's thought she could. Bean left home as soon as she could, running to the glamour of New York City, only to come back ashamed of the person she has become. And Cordy, who has been wandering the country for years, has been brought back to earth with a resounding thud, realizing it's finally time for her to grow up.
The sisters never thought they would find the answers to their problems in each other, but over the course of one long summer, they find that everything they've been running from – each other, their histories, and their small hometown – might offer more than they ever expected.

Ran in to this tonight trying to un-install a couple RIM OSs:
Error 2738. Could not access VBScript run time for custom action.
Couldn't uninstall, install, or repair, no matter what I did, short of reloading Windows.
Most common fix is to register the vbscript.dll, but this didn't solve it either, even tried to unregister it with the /u switch, same error.
Here's the fix:
1- First try to register the vbscript.dll
A- Click Start "globe"
B- Type in Search programs and files box> cmd
cmd.exe should show in list, right click on it and select Run as administrator
C- Make sure your in system32 directory, if your unsure type:
for 32bit OS => cd %windir%\system32
for 64bit OS => cd %windir%\syswow64
D- Now register the dll with this:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
You should receive a massage saying it was successful.
Now try to install or uninstall again.
If you still get error then it's time for a quick regedit:
1- Click Start "globe"
A- Type in Search programs and files box> regedit
regedit.exe should show in list, right click on it and select Run as administrator
2- Find this key and delete it:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{ B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}
Now done with regedit.
3- Register the vbscript.dll as described above.
Now you should be able to install or uninstall.
NOTE: This will also work with VZAccess Manager for RIM, if your getting the same error message.
Hope this helps anyone having this problem.

This was kind of lost in my post perhaps but...What is the benefit of a cold fermentation over a few hours of rise time?How much of a difference does this aspect make?- Blaine
Loved this thread so much (google is your friend) that I had to register and post.Thanks for the insights. Thought I'd toss an item or two out there for discussion:1. Salt and Sugar have to be listed as separate ingredients because they impact nutrition. Things like garlic powder or onion powder do not, so they can be listed as generic "spices". I add a bit of garlic powder to my doughs to help mask the yeast flavor and add some depth.2. Lots of attention to weight ratios. I am wondering about type of flour. Couldn't a variety of flours create a variety of tastes? Seems logical. Semonlina? Unbleached? Etc. Maybe that's covered early, and everyone is dedicated to KA AP, or similar.3. The crusts from Giordano's have a richer hue than some of the clone attempts. Indicates its cooked differently, or has different ingredients. My gut instinct tells me that Giordano's has a better oven, where the temperatures are more consistent and capable of hotter temps. I've seen recipes calling for 500 degrees for 50 minutes for clone pizzas. 4. The richer hue could be a coating of butter or "not extra virgin" olive oil that is spread on the pan before cooking. Would a pan coating have to be included in the recipe? Probably not, even if it would add calories, etc., if used as an ingredient. The only caveat there is "food allergies" and what would have to be listed by Giordanos.5. I think pan thickness/alloy contributes to the hue/texture of the dough. Might be totally wrong. What about pre-heating the pan? Or, keeping it cool so the dough doesn't begin baking until the entire pizza cooks?Thoughts from the vets?Thanks for the words here. I am also impressed by how friendly and cordial everyone is. Looks like a nice place to explore for other pizza interests.

|90,000 Low-Cost HD DVD players Sold in One Weekend
|Thursday, 08 November 2007
to a report in VideoBusiness.com today, Toshiba sold over 90,000 of its
HD-A2 and A3 HD DVD set-top players last weekend. The unprecedented
sales spike comes as Toshiba in partnership with big-box retailers like
Best Buy, Circuit City and Wal-Mart, absolutely shattered price
barriers for HD players by dipping below $100 for the A2 player, and
$199 for the newer A3 player.
Competing Blu-ray players, including the
"it-plays-every-Blu-ray-disc-made" Sony Playstation 3 Blu-ray-based
game system are still priced firmly in the $350 to $500 range, thus
creating a barrier to entry for many mainstream users who have been
buying HDTV sets by the millions per month yet haven't invested in
either of the HD disc formats to date. Reports from the Blu-ray camp,
suggest that consumers should not expect commiserate price drops for
Blu-ray players this Holiday season, with $399 being the drop-to-price
for a standalone player according to Sony executives.
The surge in sales activity should come as no surprise as tens upon tens of millions of HDTV sets are now installed in the market, and content providers like DirecTV, Dish Network and various cable companies struggle to keep up with the hunger for HD material 24/7/365, from those who have made an investment in a new television. Additionally, by dipping so low – so quickly – HD DVD players have priced themselves compressively with traditional DVD players which can be found in most mainstream retailers including warehouse retailers like Costco for less than $100. With the all-important "HD" moniker, mainstream consumers are willing to make the leap into a new technology when the cost barrier is at such a low level. Some industry experts suggest that within the next six to twelve months, traditional DVD players will be hard to find on store shelves as HD DVD players are completely backwards compatible with legacy DVD discs.
With a spike of 90,000 players entering the market significantly before the "Black Friday" selling season, Hollywood Studios should look toward higher-than-expected HD DVD software sales in December and in early 2008, as consumers will not want to simply play traditional DVDs in their new players and on their brilliant, new HDTV sets. Tempting, feature-laden titles like Transformers, Hulk, Batman Begins, the films of Stanley Kubrick, and beyond will tempt consumers to get into the world of HD discs for the holidays. The question still remains on whether or not studios will drop some of their disc prices from $24 and $30 for back catalog films to lure more mainstream consumers to buy the HD version of their films on home video instead of the lesser priced, traditional DVD versions.

Facebook Ads Become 'Costlier' Choice for Small Businesses
Rising Rates Put Pressure on Limited Ad Budgets; Facebook Points to More Valuable Outcomes
When it comes to advertising on Facebook these days, small-business owners are competing for more limited ad space—and paying more for ads even if they don't result in sales.
During Facebook Inc.'s earnings call last month the social-networking company revealed the average per ad price increased 123% in the most recent quarter compared with a year ago. Ad impressions—the number of ads it displayed—declined 25%, while ad revenue rose 67% to $2.68 billion, the company said....

With how complex your pet's immune system can be, caring for it naturally and effectively can seem to be a pretty daunting task. But with a little planning, supporting your pet's immune system doesn't have to be that hard.
Along with Immune Strengthener, herbs, mushrooms and nutraceuticals like Cat's Claw, Chinese Herbs, Medicinal Mushrooms and Colostrum can be a huge help.
Diet is always the first line of defense; it is the foundation of health. If your companion is consuming highly processed food that provides only minimal nutrition and includes toxins such as chemical preservatives, food dyes, texturizers, and other additives, his immune system is being depleted daily just to cope with that diet. Fresh, wholesome food, like frozen raw or non-frozen raw, is the first step in building a strong immune system.
Antioxidants help prevent oxidative damage to cells, boost immune function, and possibly decrease the risk of infections, degenerative diseases, and cancer. Antioxidants exist as vitamins, minerals, and other compounds in foods. They act as scavengers, helping to prevent cell and tissue damage by destroying free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that the body normally produces to defend against bacteria and other pathogens; but if left unchecked, they can damage the body at the cellular level.
Stress and Exercise
Stress suppresses the immune system. Our pets can experience emotional stress from any number of sources, such as territorial disputes among pets (especially cats), social stress, and noise and light pollution. Exercise helps reduce stress and helps build and maintain a strong body and immune system. Moderate exercise has been shown to improve immune function in humans and animals.Weight control is also key – overweight animals are much more susceptible to chronic and acute diseases and infections. Proper diet AND exercise are needed to help with weight control.
These simple and healthy steps and ingredients can keep your pet's immune system operating efficiently and properly for many years to come!

johnt_83 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 109 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
**Please read the detailed logo design description right below this message as well**
I'm starting my own home-based business in the travel industry as a leisure group travel organizer and am looking to have a fun, professional logo/symbol/image that will capture the interests of my viewers and potential customers. My business/travel club name is "World Travelers United", and I want my viewers to get a sense of feeling on what I do as a business and group travel club owner. The mantra I have thought of is, "Dream. Connect. Explore." Please include this in the logo design with bullets separating the 3 words. Thanks.
World Travelers United
The image should trigger an emotional feeling to the potential customer and "speak" to them of an incredible experience of traveling the world with like-minded individuals who also have that passion for traveling.
I'll be going on these trips with my group members and want them to know that they'll have a great time! The image should give them a clear idea of what my business offers and the mantra I have thought of should be right below the logo and business name itself. The mantra I have thought of is, "Dream. Connect. Explore." with bullets separating the 3 words - this describes that people Dream about a vacation, they Connect with people who also want to take that vacation, and then, they Explore that desired location together!
One of the ideas I thought of was to have an image of the Earth with travelers at various places, i.e. a backpacker in Europe, a person on a cruise ship in the Caribbean holding an umbrella drink, a girl with a grass-skirt on in Hawaii, a person next a Kangaroo in Australia, and so forth. This is just an idea but since I know you all are so amazingly creative I would love to see what you can come up with!! It doesn't necessarily have to have an Earth on it, anything is possible. I just want to make sure it looks cool! Maybe even the "o" in "World" can be the Earth with the picture I just described...all letters should be CAPS with the business name having the biggest font size! Another idea is maybe even having an entire world map as the logo, with the people mentioned above at their respective locations with "World Travelers United" on top, with the mantra at the bottom of the world map! These are just ideas but I want to be different from a travel agency since I am not going to be a travel agency, I am going to be a group travel club owner, business service provider, and world traveler with my clients – please keep this in mind.
The colors I would like to primarily see are green, blue, and silver; however I am open to others because I don't want to limit your creativity and fun in this project. I want to be sure that these are standard pantone and web safe colors and that these colors can be easily reproduced in various print mediums. I want to be able to use the logo on all business related marketing material including business cards, stationary, envelopes, newsletters (soft and hard copy), brochures/direct mail, and my website which still has to be designed. There are probably some I'm missing but I think you get the idea! If possible, vector graphics would be nice to assure that anytime the logo is resized, it doesn't lose its actual meaning and touch.
Once again I'm trying to express what I want the logo/image to say to the people who view it, not just what it looks like. I really want people to "feel" what it represents which in turn will give them the right idea about what I do...I want it to come off as a business that provides an incredible service as a leisure group travel club that consists of people who are like-minded and want to travel together to the amazing sights of our beautiful planet...I hope that makes sense.
I want to keep the image simple, universal, and global and really project what I want to be in the future. I know that may sound a little bit contradicting based on everything I said above but I'm hoping to have a logo/image that really hits the point home to my viewers. This is a symbol that will define my business and leisure group travel club "World Travelers United".
I'm looking for fresh new ideas and professional, imaginative, and creative designers to help me with this!
Thank you so much for your help and good luck!!
- The logo should be clean, fun, modern and distinctive – maybe even a Web 2.0 touch
- Desired Color Scheme: Harmonious with new website design - great colors!
- Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif, .bmp or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai);
- Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
- Be creative: I am looking for a strong, clean stylized logo
- Desired Style: Vibrant, clean, crisp & strikingly powerful
- Something that will also work on a business card and website - extremely important! Formatting, etc.
- Logo design that is very busy
- Overly complex
- No non-owned pre-made clip-art.
