Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/8/2014 (1089 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Gord Steeves waded into the issue of perceived threats to public safety Friday afternoon when he vowed to round up panhandlers who approach vehicles at intersections.
Steeves said those people are capable of working, but would rather intimidate motorists as a way to raise money for booze or drugs.
"Some people are not bothered by this at all; some people are really bothered by this behaviour," Steeves said. "I've had numerous people, particularly women, express to me that when... a man knocks on their car window while they are waiting at a red light, they are at least somewhat fearful."
Steeves said if elected mayor, those people won't have to be afraid any longer — he would bring a plan to council to amend existing bylaws to make it illegal to solicit occupants of vehicles.
"We will use our bylaw officers to enforce and remove people engaged in this practice," Steeves said.
Standing on the sidewalk at the intersection of Main Street and Stradbrook Avenue, a location popular with panhandlers, Steeves said there is no evidence to suggest that intersection panhandlers are anything but "healthy, able-bodied men," but then admitted he had no evidence to back up that claim.

* Blockbuster Movie Pass to start at $10 a month
* Streaming for non-Dish customers coming by year-end
* Service includes Starz content
* Dish shares gain 5.35 pct, Netflix shares up 0.65 pct (Adds analyst, company comments; updates shares)
By Lisa Richwine
Sept 23 (Reuters) - Blockbuster unveiled a video streaming service limited to Dish Network (DISH.O) satellite subscribers, a move to better compete with movie rental giant Netflix (NFLX.O) and rival cable and satellite TV providers.
For non-Dish subscribers, the company plans to unveil an online streaming plan later this year, Blockbuster president Michael Kelly told Reuters in an interview.
Blockbuster, the once-dominant video store chain, is trying to rebuild its brand in an increasingly crowded market with backing by deep-pocketed parent company Dish.
The streaming push comes as Netflix has stumbled with an unpopular price increase and other missteps that have sent the company's shares tumbling 50 percent in two months.
Called Blockbuster Movie Pass, the new subscription service will start at an additional $10 a month for streaming plus movie and video game DVD rentals by mail and at the company's more than 1,500 stores.
At Netflix, mail plus streaming starts at about $16 a month.
"It's definitely not a Netflix killer, but I do think it offers a lot of value for Dish customers," said Tony Wible, an analyst with Janney Montgomery Scott who has a "sell" rating on Netflix.
Shares of Netflix gained 0.65 percent to close at $129.36 on Nasdaq. Dish shares rose 5.35 percent to $26.76, also on Nasdaq.
Movie Pass starts Oct. 1. It will be free for new Dish customers who sign up by the end of January for certain packages that cost at least $40 a month. The streaming option will carry new movie releases from Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) and Sony (6758.T) provided by Starz, the cable channel operator set to pull its content from Netflix in February.
The Blockbuster streaming library is smaller than the Netflix online catalog of more than 20,000 titles. Dish will offer more than 3,000 movies for streaming to TV and more than 4,000 for computers, plus hundreds of TV shows.
Movie Pass will be "a good retention tool" for Dish, Pacific Crest Securities analyst Steve Clement said. "I don't know how compelling it will be for new" subscribers, he said.
Cable and satellite providers have been losing customers as entertainment options grows.
Adding the new package to Dish satellite TV service, which has about 14 million subscribers, offers consumers a broad menu of entertainment options by mail, television, streaming or in-store, Dish Network CEO Joe Clayton said.
"Hulu is very good at doing TV shows. Netflix is good at movies. No one is doing all of the above like we are doing," Clayton said at a news conference in San Francisco.
In response to the Blockbuster news, Netflix noted it offered streaming without requiring a satellite subscription.
"We still offer this amazing value without a cover charge," Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey said.
Last week, Netflix cut its subscriber forecast by 1 million, saying it expects to end the third quarter with 24 million subscribers as it faces cancellations from price increases. The last time Netflix reported a subscriber decline was the second quarter of 2007 when Blockbuster was aggressively pushing a DVD rental package called Total Access.
Blockbuster said it picked up 500,000 new subscribers, a combination of paying and free-trial customers, in the past 30 days. The company does not disclose its total subscribers.
"The biggest negative for Netflix in the addition of new competitors isn't that they are going to steal away subscribers, it's that it potentially increases the cost of buying content," Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson said.

I used a manual toothbrush all my life, until a dentist persuaded me to try an electric one. I couldn't believe the difference! There was hardly any plaque left after brushing, and everything felt clean and fresh. When choosing the right electric toothbrush, you might as well go for the best. The Philips Sonicare Toothbrush is the no. 1 dentist recommended toothbrush, and right now you can buy it from Amazon for just £99.99! That's over £150 off the regular price!
It may be a little more pricey than most, but it will last you a lifetime. Plus, it's pink. What's not to like?

Narrow-Band UVB Phototherapy for Treatment of Oral Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease
- At the first visit the following information will be collected about the participant:
original diagnosis, the date and type of transplant, transplant conditioning regimen,
cGVHD prophylaxis regimen, the time when oral cGVHD was first noticed, specific
treatments for oral cGVHD, and any current medications.
- At each visit, and before the participant begins phototherapy treatment, they will
answer a series of questions asking about how their mouth feels and what they are able
to eat. A clinical examination of the mouth will be performed and recorded and
photographs will be taken of the inside of the mouth.
- Participants will then receive phototherapy treatment. This will take approximately
three minutes and will involve opening the mouth and closing the eyes. Following
phototherapy, the participant will be asked several questions on how they tolerated the
treatment. Phototherapy treatments will be done two or three times per week for a
total of 24 treatments. After each treatment, if the participant has not experienced
any discomfort, the phototherapy dose will be increased following a specific protocol.
- After 24 treatments the participant will have the option to continue phototherapy
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
To clinically evaluate the treatment efficacy of NB-UVB phototherapy in the management of oral cGVHD.

Submit button does not workAsked by gwc on September 08, 2015 at 07:50 AM
Hi - I cloned my questionnaire (GWC-QuotationRequestVsn2 with HC) and updated it as GWC-QuotationRequestVsn3. When I republish I cannot get the submit button to work. I tried deleting and reformatting a new submit button, but no luck. Please Help!

Hello Gary,
I'm sorry for the trouble caused to you.
I did test your form with its direct URL or the embedded form and I am able to replicate the issue you are having.
I am not sure what is causing this issue. There is no issue or error in your form and there is no conflict as well.
Let me report it t to our backend team. We will get back to you as soon as we have any update form them.
Thank you!
Thanks Ashwin - I look forward to hearing from you.
JotForm Support
I also was able to reproduce the issue when I tried test submitting your form http://www.jotformpro.com/form/52432317422951
We have submitted a bug ticket report about it.
Thank you.
Thanks Jonathan - I'd really like to get it back up and running.
JotForm Support
The ticket was now assigned to one of our developer.
We will be notified here as soon as they have news/update on the status.
Thank you.
Thanks Jonathan - I have republished the original form, GWC-QuotationRequestVsn2 with HC, and it appears to work. However, I would really like to use GWC-QuotationRequestVsn3.
JotForm Support
Thank you for updating us. I see that my colleague has already forwarded this concern to our developers.
I noticed that you have setup the Send POST data to "Yes", do you have a PHP script that fetches the post data sent by the form? If there's no WebHook or a PHP script that will catch the data, I believe it might cause a problem.
We should hear from our devs regarding their findings of this problem.

10 Reasons to Get Excited About Teffby Amy Reiter in News, January 11th, 2017
Anyone who has eaten at an Ethiopian restaurant has probably eaten teff. Flour made from the iron-rich grain is, traditionally, a key ingredient in injera, the spongy, slightly sour, fermented flatbread that is the basis of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. In fact, it's the national dish of Ethiopia and Eritria.
But recently, teff is stepping into the spotlight here in the United States, elbowing quinoa out of the way, and taking its bows as the new hot super-grain.
Here are 10 reasons why everyone's suddenly all excited about teff:

The production of silent city symphony "London Symphony' is well under way. Director/Editor Alex Barrett is beginning to review the footage, logging it meticulously in preparation for the edit.
While Alex has been busy orchestrating the shooting and starting to log the material, composer James McWilliam has been starting to work on the score. Principally, at this stage, that work has involved making a concrete outline for the structure of the score.
This new structure enables James and Alex to work simultaneously on the score and the edit, as well as allowing the script to be broken down in an even more specific fashion than we have done previously. Breaking the film down into sections and sub-sections has helped us to refocus, and enabled us to know exactly how long we need each moment to last. This is a massive step forward for the project, and an exciting stage for us to have reached.

The Sensex ended the day higher by 270 points (provisional), while the Nifty rallied 76 points in trade. Gains in the Nifty were led by banking stocks which rose sharply. ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and IndusInd Bank led private sector banking gainers.
On the other hand Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank and Canara Bank were the PSU banking stocks that staged a smart recovery in trade.
Metal stocks were the other set of stocks that rallied sharply led by solid gains in Hindalco and Sesa Sterlite.
Shares in Maruti Suzuki ended the day marginally higher despite strong market sentiments after FII holding in the stock limit was reached.
Shares in Power major, NTPC hit a 52-week low along with real estate developer Unitech. Sun Pharma and TCS were the only stocks that were subdued in trade from the Nifty.
Mid cap stocks also had a spectacular run with Crompton Greaves, Karnataka Bank and Oriental Bank of Commerce all rallying more than three per cent.
However, McLeod Russell dropped marginally lower and ended the day with losses. Meanwhile, markets across Asia ended the day higher after reports that Putin had asked troops to return back to base from Ukraine.
Among the markets that gained were the Hong Kong's Hang Sang, the Singapore's Strait Times and the Japanese Nikkei. European markets were also trading higher by more than one per cent at the time of closing of Indian markets.

An Efficient Mechanism to Ensure Location Privacy in Telecom Service Applications
- Authors
- Publisher
- IFIP International Federation for Information Processing
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Disciplines
Location and presence information will provide considerable value to information and communication services. Nevertheless, the users are still concerned about revealing their position data especially to un-trusted third party applications. Furthermore, legal restrictions are effective in most countries that regulate processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in electronic communications. In this paper we propose a novel privacy enhancement solution (PRIVES) which is targeted for location and presence services in the 3G service architecture and uses cryptographic techniques well suited to run in small devices with little computing and power resources. Once a user is granted the permission to localize another user, the location server generates a key used to create pseudonyms that are specific for the localized user. Passed from the watcher to the location server via the application, these pseudonyms identify both the watcher and the desired localized user at the location server, but are opaque to the application. The paper presents architecture and protocols of the proposed solution and discusses the performance increase in comparison with current implementations.

→ Myers-Briggs Personality test: INFP// Requested by anonymous
I – Introversion preferred to extraversion: INFPs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy).
N – Intuition preferred to sensing: INFPs tend to be more abstract than concrete. They focus their attention on the big picture rather than the details, and on future possibilities rather than immediate realities.
F – Feeling preferred to thinking: INFPs tend to value personal considerations above objective criteria. When making decisions, they often give more weight to social implications than to logic.
P – Perception preferred to judgment: INFPs tend to withhold judgment and delay important decisions, preferring to "keep their options open" should circumstances change.According to Myers-Briggs,
INFPs focus much of their energy on an inner world dominated by intense feeling and deeply held ethics. They seek an external life that is in keeping with these values. Loyal to the people and causes important to them, INFPs can quickly spot opportunities to implement their ideals. They are curious to understand those around them, and so are accepting and flexible unless their values are threatened.

Diminished Chord – How to use
Diminished chord is a chord made by the musical degrees: 1, 3b, 5b, 7bb.
Observation: 7bb is the same as diminished seventh. As 5b is the diminished fifth, in this chord we have two diminished notes. Then, it is not without reason that this chord is called "diminished chord", is it?!
Let's make a chord then to see how it works.
Making a diminished chord
Example of diminished C:
- First degree: C
- Third minor degree: Eb
- Fifth diminished degree: Gb
- Seventh diminished degree: A
Resulting chord: Cº
The used symbol to a diminished chord is the degree symbol above the chord's letter: C°. But some authors also use the notation "dim": Cdim
The diminished interval
One easy way of thinking in diminished chord is remember the interval "one and a half tone", because all the degrees in a diminished chord have one and a half tone of distance among them. Check it:
Distance from the 1st degree to 3rd minor degree: one and a half tone.
Distance from the 3rd minor degree to 5th diminished degree: one and a half tone.
Distance from the 5th degree to 7th diminished degree: one and a half tone.
This gives a really particular characteristic: This chord repeats itself in each one and a half tone. In other words, if you make the diminished chord in the guitar fretboard, in keyboard or in any other instrument and move to this same chord one and a half tone above or below, the chord will continue being the same!
The only thing that will change will be the localization of the notes in relation to your fingers, but the whole chord will have the same notes, in other words, it will be exactly the same. Check below in the guitar fretboard the Diminished C chord and its respective notes:
Now this chord moved one and a half tone above:
Another one and a half tone:
Another one and a half tone:
Moral of the story: C° = Eb° = Gb° = A°
This is really convenient, because if we want to play, for example, A°, we can play C° (which is the same chord!). This is useful if we are playing in a region in the fretboard where C° is closer than A°. In another situation, the closer and more convenient chord to be played can be D#°, so we can play it instead of A°. Nice, isn't it?!
How many diminished chords exist?
You can see that, as there are 12 notes and that a diminished chord corresponds to other 4 identical chords like them, we can conclude that there are only 3 different diminished chords. They are: C°, C#° e D°. The other chords will be consequence of these three:
Very well, we already know as a diminished chord is made, so now it's time to analyze it in the point of view of harmonic functions and general applications. Are you ready? So, let's go:
Harmonic Function of a diminished chord
The diminished chord has two tritones. They are between:
- The first degree and the diminished fifth;
- The third minor and the diminished seventh.
Well, in case of not being explicit, the diminished chord has dominant function! Having two tritones it is not a small thing, is it?! So, we can use it to replace dominant chords (like V7, for example). In this case, we can exchange the V7 chord by the diminished chord located one semitone above it. For example, the V7 chord could be replaced by G#° (or its equivalents B°, D° e F°).
We will give as exercise to you to check the notes of G#° and compare then with the notes of G7. You will see that the tritone of G7 is present in G#°, what allows this substitution. This is one of the applications of diminished chord, to serve as option of dominant chord. Check below one example of substitution from the G7 chord to a diminished chord:
Download the file from Guitar Pro and check it: Diminishedchord(V7).gpro
Auxiliary diminished
When a diminished chord has the same bass note (the lower note) of the chord that it solves, it is called auxiliary diminished. Examples:
The auxiliary diminished chord solves the resolution and gives a minimum harmonic movement, as it keeps the bass note.
Ascending and descending diminished chords
Another application, and maybe the most used, is playing the diminished to explore the effect of chromatic approximation. In this case, the diminished chord uses to be played one semitone above or below the chords we want to solve, being called, respectively as ascending diminished and descending diminished.
Nice, but can we use ascending and descending diminished chords to solve in any major or minor chord? Well, in theory yes, but in practice this will not always sound good. The descending diminished doesn't act like dominant, because it doesn't have the same tritone from the chord V7, in the opposite of ascending diminished.
Maybe you are confused now, because we already said that the diminished chord has two tritones, so why does not descending diminished act like dominant function? Well, just to remember, the concept of tritone refers itself to a necessity of resolution. When we play a tritone, there is a need of this "tense" interval being solved, and the resolution you wait is doing that each note of this tritone be replaced one semitone. For example, the tritone of the chord G7 is between the notes F and A. When F goes one semitone below, it becomes a G and when A goes one semitone above, it becomes a C. This is why the waited chord to solve this "tension" is C, which has these two notes (C and G, first and fifth degrees, respectively). If the chord G7 was solved in another chord than C, we would have a deceptive resolution. Until here there is nothing new. Now, imagine that the song is in A major tonality and that the sequence G7 – F#7 – B appears. In this case, the chord F#7 is the dominant that was solved in A major, while G7 served as a chromatic approach chord.
It wouldn't be wrong saying that G7 was a dominant that had a deceptive resolution, but this main function in this song would be the chromatic approach effect, because the waited resolution for G7 is C major, which doesn't belong to A major tonality. In other words, it doesn't make sense to think in G7 as a dominant that was starting a modulation and suffered a deceptive resolution if it provided another effect to the song. The same happens with de descending diminished. The tritones of a diminished chord don't solve themselves the same way that the chord V7, therefore, the descending diminished has only a chromatic function, and this makes that its use is not always pleasant.
Let's see now two approaches (ascending and descending diminished) and find out which are the most used ones when the chord that you want to solve is major or minor.
Resolution to minor chords
When the chord that you want to solve is a minor chord, the ascending diminished is, without any doubt, the most used and it always work! It is hard to not be beautiful. But there are a lot o people who like to use the descending diminished in this resolution. So, don't be tied to ascending diminished only! Explore both concepts.
Resolution to major chords
And for major chords, the ascending diminished can also be used due the fact of being similar to VIIm7(b5) (chord from seventh degree in the major harmonic field). Because of it, the ascending diminished sounds like it was tonal.
And the descending diminished is replaced by SubV7 (we will talk about this chord in the next level) when the desire is to explore this chromatic effect to major chords. It's up to you to define your tastes.
When can we use the ascending or descending diminished chord?
Summarizing, the ascending diminished, for both major and minor chords, can be used without fear. But the descending diminished needs some caution. Speaking in a generic way, the ascending diminished is the most common function of the diminished chord in songs, especially for resolution in minor chords.
Diminished as passing chord
In both cases of ascending and descending, diminished chord appears like a passing chord.
Check below some applications of the diminished chord in different harmonic contexts. In these examples of Guitar Pro, we will work with cadences II, V, I.
To minor chords, the sequence will be: | Em7(b5) | A7(#5) | Dm7(9) |.
To major chords, the sequence will be: | Dm7 | G7 | C7M |.
So let's go! We have 4 cadences to show (ascending and descending diminished to resolution in major and minor chords).
- Ascending diminished being solved in a minor chord: Download the file: minorascending.gpro
Here in this file we showed how is the perfect substitution of A7(#5) to ascending diminished C#°. In the next verse we chose to use the dominant compass to play A7(#5) and after this to make the chromatic cadence C7M, C#°, Dm7(9).
So, we showed that is possible to use the ascending diminished as well as alone or in a chromatic cadence.
- Ascending diminished being solved in a major chord: download the file: majorascending.gpro
First, we showed in this file how the simple substitution of G7 to B° is. After that, we used the bar line of the dominant to play with alternations between G7 and B°. This "game" makes seem that we are playing many chords; it gives the idea that we know a lot about harmony, when actually we are only alternating chords with the same harmonic function, with no mysteries. To give even a better impression that you are playing many chords and varying in your harmony, try to use the equivalent diminished B° = D° = F° = G#° to enrich your base.
- Descending diminished being solved in a minor chord: Download the file: minordescending.gpro
As usual, first we showed the perfect substitution of A7(#5) to D#°. The detail here chose the Dm7 chord instead of Dm7(9) after D#°, because this way we could keep a chromaticism in the second string (passing through the frets 8, 7 and 6 of the guitar). If we play Dm7(9), the sequence would be more abrupt and less pleasant to our ear due the direct passage from the fret 7 to 5 in the second string. But don't worry with this detail now; we will study more this concept when we study reharmonization. Pay attention now only in the given cadence.
In the same way that we did before, here we also worked with the idea of chromaticism playing the sequence Em7(b5), D#° and Dm7. See how this sonority became.
- Descending diminished being solved in a major chord: Download the file: majordescending.gpro
To finish, in the descending diminished to a major chord, we explored the same previous ideas, and is appropriate to highlight that we chose to play C7M(9) instead of C7M, because de chord C#° has many notes in common with C7M, so the cadence would lose its "strength" (we almost wouldn't notice that is a cadence!). Playing C7M(9) we changed one more note between these two chords (C7M and C#°), in a attempt of differentiating them to our ear.
After all these examples, maybe you have agreed with the fact that, in practice, descending diminished chords need more attention and work of our part, because they don't always fit together. These exercises serve as base to this concept. And the ascending diminished are just joy and fun, without great brain efforts connected. Which one of them did you like the most?

Detailed Description:
At our field site in southern Nepal, acute respiratory illness (ARI) has been a leading cause of mortality among young children. Besides immunization there is little evidence for effective primary preventive approaches for ARI on a population basis. Low birth weight is highly prevalent in this population as well affecting approximately 30% of live born infants. Low birth weight is a key determinant of neonatal mortality and has also been resistant to cost-effective interventions in resource poor settings. Given the lack of appropriate interventions for poor, rural areas in developing countries and the strong observational association between open burning of biomass fuel sources and ARI in young children and low birth weight, we have designed a community-based randomized trial to determine if reductions in household indoor smoke exposure can reduce the incidence and duration of acute lower respiratory infections in children <36 months of age and low birthweight among newborn infants. Household indoor smoke reduction will be accomplished by replacing the current cook stove in the household with a locally appropriate, inexpensive model that is more efficient and vented to the exterior. In addition, we will assess the impact on respiratory function and symptoms among adults in the household. The project has 2 phases. Phase 1 is a cluster-randomized, community-based, step-wedge trial of cookstove replacement in a rural population of southern Nepal. Households will be randomized to receive replacement of their cook stove with an appropriately designed, efficient stove that is vented to the exterior at different time periods during the course of the study. An initial period of surveillance for ARI and low birth weight will establish a baseline rate for all clusters. This will be followed by the randomized, serial replacements of cook stoves over a 12 month period. Surveillance will continue throughout this period and for an additional 6 -18 months depending on when the stove was replaced. Phase 2 is a individually randomized trial in a subset of households that will receive either the improved biomass stove from phase 1 or a LPG stove and gas. Follow-up for phase 2 will be for 12 months with the same outcomes as phase 1. Measurement of indoor air particulate concentration will be conducted in all households before and after stove replacement. The analysis for both phases will focus on estimating the impact on incidence of ARI in children and low birth weight among live births as a result of stove replacement. Approximately 4200 children 1-35 months of age will be required to observe a minimum 10% reduction in risk of ARI with 90% power in phase 1. Given the expected number of live births to occur in these clusters, we can detect a 50 gram difference in birthweight with over 90% power and a type I error of 5%. Phase 2 will have lower power (total of 1800 households).

Partners in Crime is the twelfth episode of the fourth season, and 52nd episode overall, of the series, Rizzoli & Isles.
The squad tries to solve a homicide case that is muddied by conflicting evidence; Maura must decide if she is going to take in her recently paroled grandfather; Jane and Casey must decide between their careers and their relationship.
***This section contains SPOILERS. Read ahead at your own risk.*** Click here to skip to credits.
The team has two homicides which, at first, seem unrelated. Mark Cabot is killed in the parking garage of a fitness club. Rhonda Clark is drowned in her hot tub. A german shepherd's hair is found in Rhonda's lungs, believed to be from the killer's dog. Connections are made. The team thinks that Mark's sister killed Rhonda and Rhonda's husband killed Mark as part of a murder pact, but see Mark's wife arrive when a sting is arranged for them. Meanwhile, Maura is asked via correspondence from Paddy Doyle to take care of his paroled father, Patrick. She is curious to learn about her heritage, but Patrick wants nothing to do with her. He also believes Paddy wants him to die as a "nobody", but Jane tells him that Paddy might have wanted his father to see the one good thing the son accomplished—Maura. Casey returns home to tell Jane he has been made a full colonel and he must now decide to stay in the service to be a general or retire and marry her.

This August Costa Rica amended its Law of Enforcement Proceedings of Intellectual Property Rights (Law No. 8039), apparently decriminalising proceedings for infringement of trade secrets, patents, industrial drawings and utility models. The justifications for doing so were based on issues relating to local constitutional law, but the amendment has drawn criticism from the IP community.

Basically, USG was being racist because the nominee wasn't a person of color, and therefore is not qualified. That doesn't make any sense. USG is now using the color of a persons skin to define their qualifications. Sounds like a step in the wrong direction. USG lost all my respect with this one. You can't demand that all students be treated equally if you discriminate against specific skin types. It doesn't mater what her political party association is. She is managing in Security Prepardness. She has experience. It sounds like she was perfectly qualified, except for her skin tone.

All but one of the members of the executive board is White, the majority of senators, council chairs, and cabinet appointees are as well. No one ever demanded that she not be white, simply that she respect that students who aren't may have different experiences.

You don't need to be a person of color to care about people of color. This wasn't about the race of the applicant; it was about her values.

What is this horseshit? Where's any evidence that students of color's safety is not being taken into account? There is none. No one is getting a special invitation, no one is getting special treatment. Why do you think you are entitled to this because of the color of your skin? What would that even mean for Tulane to exclude people of color from considerations of safety? You really think TUPD is an inherently racist organization, and that more TUPD will make you less safe? The national narrative (which of course has widespread evidence of police discrimination and brutality towards people of color) doesn't necessarily apply to the small community that is TUPD. Get over yourselves.
Student at Tulane Reply:

Good points. In addition (based off of my observations over the last 4 years) the majority of TUPD officers are of color. So I would expect these students to encourage more officers, not fewer (unless a minority becomes evil once they become a police officer).

There is a big difference between equality and diversity. Equality is what Martin Luther King, Jr. fought and died for. Diversity is "I deserve a seat at the table whether I've earned it or not." The first is a core American value. The second is concealed form of racial discrimination and a sell out of the American values of hard work, self-reliance, and initiative.

Playing Games with a Straight Guy
"Fucking son-of-a-bitch, I hate his guts." Max Brewer took another swig of his beer, and continued his tirade. "The bastard gives me all the worst assignments, because I'm gay. He doesn't come right out with it, but when he's assigning stories to cover, I get the ladies' garden parties, and my co-workers get the juicy murder and sex stories. I know what he's up to. There's always a smirk on his face when he hands me an assignment."
"Why don't you quit?" Curt Sommerville asked. Curt was Max's best friend, and once, when they were both stewed, they were fuck buddies. It had never happened again, drunk or sober. They were like brothers, and it was just too weird for both of them to have sex together. Strangely, they had done a few three-ways together, and that didn't seem to bother them at all.
"It's too soon," Max answered. I want to build up my resume a little. Maybe after I finish my novel, I might quit then."
"How do you know the guy picks on you because you're gay? Maybe he just doesn't like you?" Curt was trying to make his buddy feel better, in a back-handed sort of way.
"If you could hear his anti-gay rhetoric, you would agree with me. I'm certain that it's my sexual orientation that irks him, but he's very careful not to be so overt that I could accuse him of anything."
"Maybe you could try having a talk with him," Curt wasn't giving up.
"He would just deny everything, and worse, he might tell me that my work isn't good enough for better story assignments."
Suddenly Curt broke out laughing. "Why don't you offer to give him a blow job? You could point out that it is a universally accepted maxim that gay guys give the best blow jobs. Even a straight man couldn't get turned off by the anticipation of a first rate blow job."
"He would most certainly turn it down, and things would get worse," Max mused. "If I had a chance to show him how good I could make him feel, it would have to be without his knowledge and consent. Even if he loved it, when it was over, he could accuse me of rape."
"He couldn't do that if he didn't know who was giving him the blow job," Curt continued to press the issue.
"Are you volunteering?" Max asked.
"Maybe. What does he look like?"
"He's very good looking. Actually, when I first met him, I was very attracted to him. If I didn't hate him so much, I could go for him myself, especially since he's single. He's six feet even, and built. I found out he works out at Duffy's gym three or four evenings a week. He's got green eyes, and dimples when he smiles, which is a rare thing for him to do. I happened to get a glimpse of his junk in the men's room one day. He's cut, and I could tell he's well endowed, but it's hard to figure his measurements by viewing a half exposed cock."
"We could grab him when he leaves the gym some evening. We'd wear masks, and we could take him to my apartment," Curt grinned. We could both suck him, and when he's hard we could shove his cock up one or both our asses, until he cums. He'd love it. I'd do all the talking, Max, so he'd know we're guys. You could stay as quiet as a deaf mute. When we're done with him, I'd make him admit how good it felt. We could drop him off in the park somewhere, and take off."
"I'd make him shower before we let him loose, so there would be no DNA."
Curt laughed. "Do you think that he would dare to report that he'd been
raped to the police? He'd be too fucking embarrassed to do that, but it wouldn't hurt to put him under the shower, just in case."
"But you're missing the point," Max said. "I don't want us to rape him. I want us to have good sex with him, so that he thoroughly enjoys it." They both laughed at the possible scenario they had created, and in the days to come, they forgot all about it.
Max's boss, Gary Grayson, seemed to get harder and harder on Max with each passing day. He blue penciled his articles so severely, that there was little left of Max's original stories.
One day, in sheer desperation, Max asked his boss why he hated him so much.
"Because you're a fucking cocksucker," Gary spat out. There was venom in his voice.
Max was shocked. "Yes," he said, "I'm a cocksucker. I'll always be a cocksucker, and you'll always be an ignorant bigot."
"Why don't you quit," Gary suggested, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"No way. I wouldn't give you the satisfaction. You'll have to fire me, and I'll sue you and the newspaper. I'd have the pleasure of taking you down with me."
"You couldn't prove anything."
"Maybe, maybe not, but I'd severely taint you and the paper. You'd lose every gay reader in the city"
"Get out of my office. You disgust me."
"The feeling is mutual."
That evening, Max called Curt. Without any hemming and hawing, he said, "Remember what you suggested we do to my boss?"
"Yes. Are you considering it?"
"I have considered it. I want to do it. Let's start planning our little caper this weekend."
"You're on, buddy. This is going to be fun."
Curt and Max discreetly followed Gary around every evening after work for nearly three weeks. At the end of the orientation period, they were familiar with all his routines, and began to make plans.
Gary went to the gym three or four nights a week. His gym nights varied, except for Fridays. He always went on Friday. After working out or not, he went directly home. Once he got home, he stayed there. He didn't seem to have any social life at all. Given his mean disposition, Max was not surprised in the least.
He always left the gym at approximately 10 PM. The parking lot was in the rear of the gym, and he always left through the back door. The lot was nearly deserted at that hour. Max and Curt agreed that the following Friday would be the perfect time to execute their plan.
Max kept having second thoughts about what he was about to do, but that Friday Gary was particularly cruel in belittling his work. He made up his mind to go through with it.
Shortly before 10 PM, Max and Curt hid behind Gary's car. When they saw him approaching the car, they pulled down their knit hats, covering their faces. They had cut eye holes in the caps. They ran around the car, and approached Gary from the rear. They both grabbed him, immobilizing the man, and Max placed an ether soaked rag on his face. Gary passed out in seconds, and they loaded him into Curt's car. Max found Gary's car keys in his hand.
He drove Gary's car to his house, and parked in his driveway. They wanted neighbors to think that Gary was home. Curt followed him there. Max threw the car keys through the mail slot in the front door, and got in the back seat of Curt's car. They drove to Curt's apartment, which was located in a very gay section of town. Curt's parking lot was deserted also. They pulled Gary out of the car, and headed toward the apartment building, supporting him under each arm.
They met one neighbor in the lobby, while they were waiting for the elevator. He was leaving the building. They never had to say a word. The neighbor said it all. "Some guys should never drink," he said. "He's as drunk as a skunk."
"You got that right," Curt said. "He certainly can't drive, so I'm putting him up for the night."
As the neighbor departed, he started to laugh. "Remember," he said, "it's unethical to fuck a guy while he's drunk." He kept laughing so hard at his own joke, they could hear him laughing until the lobby door closed behind him.
Once inside Curt's apartment, they stripped Gary down to his birthday suit, and tied him to the bed. They blindfolded him and taped his mouth so he couldn't scream. He was on his back, and when the guys saw his dick they drooled. He was flaccid at the moment. As Max had correctly observed he was cut, but they were unprepared for what they now saw. Gary had to be at least six inches flaccid. That was nice enough, but neither man had ever seen a fatter cock.
"Are you really going to take that monster up your ass?" Curt asked.
"I want to more than ever, and I'll tell you one better. After he cums, I want to turn him over and fuck him. Why should he have all the fun?"
"Okay by me. We'll both fuck him."
Just then Gary moaned, and shifted his body. In his stupor he realized that he was virtually immobile, and he started to strain at his bindings.
Curt raised his finger to his lips indicating that it was time for Max to be silent. The two men stripped naked. Curt crawled between Gary's spread legs, and started to suck his cock. Gary had showered before leaving the gym, and he smelled delicious to Curt. At first he stroked up and down the underside. Then he started swathing Gary's crown. Gary showed no signs of erecting, so Curt took his cock into his mouth. He could only get about a half of it in. He ran his tongue in feather like strokes up and down the shaft, while his tongue pumped like a beating heart.
Watching all this aroused Max, and he started to kiss Gary's neck. He tickled Gary's ears with his tongue, and then he pinched his nipples with his lips. He forgot for the moment that he was caressing the man he hated most in the world. He didn't realize that he was making love to him. He was acting on pure instinct, wanting to give his partner as much pleasure as possible.
His sensual actions aroused Gary, and he began to get hard. He started to sigh and his butt began to move up and down in a fucking motion. Curt stopped sucking immediately, and Max looked at him quizzically. Curt pointed to Gary's balls, and Max could see that they had hardened and constricted.
"After he calms down, let's switch, Duke," Curt said. Max had to laugh. Duke was the name of the dog Curt owned when they were kids. They waited a few minutes, and noticed that Gary did not lose his erection. Max went down on him, but stopped rather quickly. Gary was ready to shoot.
When Max stopped sucking his cock, Gary moaned loudly. He obviously needed to cum, and his captors were torturing him. While he was suffering, Max and Gary put a condom on his vibrating dick. His moaning got louder. They greased their asses and the condom, and Max went first.
He straddled his captive boss, lowered himself slowly, enduring the searing pain of the oversized cock, and got all of it into him. He could actually feel Gary growing even bigger inside of him. He sat on Gary without moving until all the pain was gone. Then he pumped up and down a few times, got up, and relinquished his post to Curt.
Curt hurt even more than Max had, but he finally got Gary in to the hilt. It only took Gary two or three pumps of Curt's body and he shot his load. He couldn't scream, but his groans told the tale. The two criminals stood over him until he calmed down.
"Nice wasn't it?" Curt asked. "I'll bet you enjoyed it."
Gary didn't move. There were tears in his eyes, but the two captors could not see it. They didn't have to wonder if Gary was crying tears of joy, or tears of fear and dismay.
Suddenly Gary felt a cold rag on his nose. He recalled the moments before he lost consciousness, and he passed out again. This time they only left the rag on a few seconds, just enough to turn him over and retie him.
They put on condoms, greased their cocks and Gary's ass. "Are you awake?" Curt asked. Gary nodded, and was rewarded with Curt's hard cock entering his ass. He tried to scream, but of course he couldn't. Curt started to pump, and he began to rub against Gary's prostate. Gary began to sigh with pleasure, and Max smiled at Gary's unseeing eyes, just as Curt unloaded his cum into the condom.
Max took Curt's place. He entered slowly. He didn't want to hurt Gary. He wanted him to experience the joy of gay sex. He took his time before starting to stroke, and when he did, he came even faster than Curt had.
"I don't know about Gary," Curt said, but I had a ball. That was one hot sex session. What do you think, Duke?"
Max smiled at Curt and nodded strenuously. They gave Gary another small dose of ether, untied him and took him into the shower with them. They dried and dressed him carefully. Max's boss slept fitfully through all of this. His face was contorted.
It was now the middle of the night, and they didn't encounter another living soul while getting Gary back in Curt's car. They took him home, found his house keys in his trousers, and deposited him on his own bed, fully dressed. Curt dropped Max off at home, and the adventuresome night was over.
Max was sure they had pulled it off without Gary being able to identify them. He couldn't wait to get to work on Monday. He slept well, secure in the knowledge that he and Curt had accomplished a successful caper. The next day was Saturday and he fully intended to sleep in. Alas, it was not to be. At precisely 7 AM, his land phone rang. It rang several times before he was awake enough to pick up the handset.
"Hello," he said hoarsely, and hardly above a whisper.
"Max," a familiar voice said, "it's Gary Grayson." That woke Max up quick enough. He was in full panic mode, but he came to his senses quickly, and decided to play dumb, and take the offensive.
"What the fuck do you want? Are you going to begin to torture me on weekends at home now?"
"No, Max, I swear. It's nothing like that, but I have to see you. Something has happened to me."
"Why would you possibly think I can help you with whatever it is?"
"Because you're gay, and I need the perspective of a gay man."
"Did you have gay sex? Do you want to switch teams? Do you want me to teach you how to be gay? Forget about it. You can't learn to be gay. You are born gay, and no lessons are necessary."
"Please Max. You've got the wrong idea. I really need to talk to you. Could you meet me for breakfast in an hour at Jimmy's Diner, around the corner from the office?"
Max wanted very much to say no, but he had to know what Gary remembered from last night, and if he suspected him at all. He reluctantly agreed to meet his boss.
Max grew frightened when he saw his boss. He had black bags under his eyes, and he looked ten years older. His hair was uncombed and he was unshaven. Gary was usually meticulous in his appearance.
"Good God," Max said. "You look like you were hit by a truck."
"Not a truck, but I was mugged by two huge guys."
Max smiled to himself. He and Curt were hardly huge men. "Wow, have you reported it to the police? Did they hurt you?" Max asked out of real concern.
"That's the crazy part. They didn't hurt me at all, and they didn't take any money or credit cards. I didn't go to the police for that reason and for one other."
"One other?" Max repeated innocently.
"Yes, and that's what I want to talk to you about."
"Well, I'm here, so talk."
"Let's order breakfast first," Gary mumbled in a vain attempt to delay the moment when he would tell Max that he had been violated.
When the waiter left with their order, Gary looked down at his hands which were in his lap. "They raped me," he said.
"What?" Max screeched, acting out his utter disbelief. "Good God. I can see why you would be too ashamed to go to the police, but it is the right thing to do. You should go. There might be DNA evidence on your body, or on your clothing."
"They used condoms, and bathed me afterwards. I doubt there is forensic evidence. Besides, I don't want to have them arrested."
"Why not. If I was raped I'd want the bastards punished."
"Well that's the point. I don't think that rape is the right word to describe what happened. They were gentle with me. We actually had sex. I almost felt as if at least one of them was making love to me. He kept kissing my neck and my ears and my nipples."
"Wow," Max said. "I'm not a shrink, but I have to ask? How did that make you feel?"
Gary was silent for a long time. Max was about to ask him once more how he felt, when Gary looked into his eyes, and said, "I wanted more. I didn't want it to end."
Now it was Max who was speechless. After another long silence, he said, "That's crazy Gary. A straight man can't turn gay by having sex with another man. He may enjoy the carnal part of it, but only a woman could meet his emotional needs. I could have sex with a woman if properly aroused, but it wouldn't ever be something I could do with passion, or even love."
"That's the point, Max. I realized during all the sex activity that I was growing passionate, and I felt like telling them that I wanted to be involved, but my mouth was taped and I couldn't do it. I wanted to thank them for freeing me."
"Freeing you? What do you mean?"
Gary took Max's hand and held it between both of his. Max was shocked, but decided not to do anything about it.
"Let me explain," Gary said. "In my younger years, I was a BMOC in high school and college. I was on several sports teams, and I had earned several letters. The girls were all over me, and I had more than a few chances to fuck some of them. I actually tried twice, and I couldn't perform, so I went down on them, and got them off, so they wouldn't tell anyone that I couldn't get it up for them.
"On the other hand, in the locker room, I had to fight getting hard. I began to suspect that I was gay. The idea so revolted and frightened me, that I became homophobic. As a result, at thirty-five, I am still a virgin. Until last night I had not ever had sex with a woman or a man."
"Wow," was all Max could say.
"Those two guys opened my eyes to the joy I was missing. I don't know who they were, or if I was a random victim, or targeted. I don't care. I'm not going to hide who I am anymore."
"That's commendable," Max said facetiously, and with relief. Gary didn't know who his assailants were. "I still don't see how you think I can help you?"
"I could lie and say that I need a friend, that I need you to mentor me, but I'm not going to do that. I'm going to lay all my cards on the table, and confess something to you."
Now Max was frightened. Did Gary suspect that it was he who raped him? No! He didn't rape him. He made love to him. He wanted to run from the restaurant, but at the same time he desperately needed to hear what Gary had to say.
"When I interviewed you for the job, I was very impressed with your resume and your accomplishments," Gary continued. "About a month after you started, you candidly mentioned to a co-worker that you were gay. I overheard you, and I panicked. You see, by that time I was madly in love with you. I kept fighting my feelings. You frightened me so much, Max. Now, knowing you were gay made it worse. I did everything I could to make you hate me, and to make you quit, but you wouldn't give in. You fought my meanness, and I have to admire you for that.
"Every day, I wanted you more, and I grew more and more terrified of my feelings. Last night changed my life. I don't want to hide myself in a closet anymore. I want to get out of my house. I want to love and be loved, and I want to beg you, Max, to join me in my journey of discovery. Give me a chance to show you how much I love you."
Max was too stunned to say anything. His mind was working overtime. He thought back to last night. Why had he kissed Gary at all? There was no need. Did he maybe have feelings for his boss, which were clouded by the awful way Gary treated him? His kisses had signaled to Gary that one of the rapists was making love to him. To say that he was in turmoil would be an understatement.
Finally Gary begged, "Please say something. I'm going crazy here. I've just bared my soul to you. Say something please."
Max could not speak. Gary was still holding his hand, so he squeezed Gary's hand, and smiled in his eyes. Just then their breakfast was served. They ate in silence, but every so often their eyes met, and they smiled at each other. Max could not believe that he was beginning to feel pangs of love for a man he hated above all others just an hour ago. He accepted the fact that his love was growing when he realized that Gary had explained away his animosity.
Finally, when the waiter brought over the check, Max got his voice back. "I have a simple question," he said. "Your place or mine?"
"I'm closer," Gary smiled. "Follow me home."
"In the foyer of Gary's house, they fell into each other's arms, and kissed passionately. Gary grabbed Max's hand and literally dragged him to his bedroom, where they stripped rapidly.
"Lie down on your back," Max said. "I'm going to do all the work, and I want you to take notes." Gary laughed. As soon as he was lying prone in bed, Max fell on top of him. He started to kiss his way down Gary's body. As soon as Max's tongue tickled Gary's ear, and then his neck, Gary knew who had made love to him last night.
A few minutes later, when Max was sucking his cock, Gary said, "Please let me fuck you later. This time I need to participate in this love session. I don't want you to do all the work."
"Do you really expect me to let you shove that monster up my ass?" Max laughed.
"Yes, I do. You did it last night, and you can do it now, and forever and ever."
Max jumped up and lay side by side with Gary. He was ashen white. "How did you know?" he asked.
"When you began to kiss me, I knew. I swear I didn't know until then."
"You don't hate me?"
"I told you that if I knew who did it to me, I'd want to thank them. Thank you, Max, or should I say Duke? Thank your friend also. Now, I'd really like to suck your cock. It will be a first for me."
"Before you do, I want to thank you as well. Last night when I was having sex with you, I also realized I had real feelings for you in spite of everything. I also realized that I was making love to you, not having sex. That's why I felt the need to kiss you. Your mouth was taped so I went for the jugular, so to speak."
Max and Gary turned toward each other. Their arms entwined each other, their cocks rubbed together, and they kissed passionately.
"I've been a jerk for so many years," Gary said. "I can't afford to waste any more time. Please, Love, let's stop talking and make love with each other." With that he moved down and took Max's entire cock into his mouth.
At that precise moment they began to live the lifetime of love which lay ahead of them.

Nutrition/Supplements to Get Rid of PVCs?
I have had PVCs on and off for 25 years. For the first ten years, I had hundreds of them daily. It was awful! Then, they suddenly stopped completely after I began a light weight lifting program. I didn`t have them for several years after that. However, they have been back on and off since then. (I have not been lifting weights for a number of years, though)
Over the years, I have seen cardiologists and had the standard workups - EKGs, echos, and two CardioLite stress tests. Everything has come back clear except sometimes I am told I have MVP, and sometimes I am told I don`t.
My question is, besides the obvious - no smoking, no drinking, and no caffeine (I stay away from all of these) - are there any nutritional means or supplements that are helpful in getting rid of PVCs? Also, have you ever heard of someone eliminating theirs by starting a weight lifting program?
Ask your doctor to get a magnesium blood test. We try to get the level towards the upper normal levels to stop this.

Mass Transfer Studies in Sorbing Porous Media: III. Experimental Evaluation with 2,4,5-T1
- M. Th. van Genuchten2,
- P. J. Wierenga3 and
- G. A. O'Connor3
Comparisons are made between observed and calculated effluent concentration distributions for the movement of 2,4,5-T (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid) through 30-cm long unsaturated soil columns. The comparisons are made using both analytical and numerical solutions of a previously published model, which included the effects of intra-aggregate diffusion and adsorption. The results in this study indicate that intra-aggregate diffusion and adsorption/desorption are the main mechanisms responsible for effluent tailing. An estimated 60% of the adsorption. Was found to occur in the stagnant region of the soil. When intra-aggregate diffusion was included in the model, the observed adsorption/desorption hysteresis phenomenon found to be significant in several earlier studies, was shown to be much less important in describing the observed concentration distributions.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Joel, Methinks you doth protest too much. In fact, a bit of reading comprehension would fix what ails you. You are the living embodiment of what is wrong with the Journal, showing open contempt towards those with a differing viewpoint, while unwilling to take constructive criticism. Other than the last paragraph, I agree completely with the poster at 6:43. I don't see anything in the 6:43 post calling for publishing "pieces that I approve of", I see a call for a bit of objectivity, a showing of both sides of an issue, instead of just blatantly tearing down and dismissing out of hand sides of issues the journal editorially disagrees with and presenting that as hard hitting news. I challenge you to go back and read the posts on this thread, particularly those from Thirdeye as well as the aforementioned post at 643. Then when you respond, try and use a little thought instead of your presupposed witty snarky rejoinders.

You may have heard that Flomax, which is taken for treatment of enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), can cause vision problems over time. You may also be wondering about the efficacy and safety of BPH drugs in more general terms.

Alpha Blockers: How Do Alpha Blockers Work?

Alpha blockers work by relaxing the smooth muscle tissue in your prostate and at the opening to your bladder. When this muscle tissue relaxes, it is easier for your urine to flow. This may help if you have difficulty starting to urinate and a weak urine stream.

Alpha blockers can start working within two to three days, and may relieve your urinary symptoms in about two to three weeks. However, these medications do not stop your prostate gland from continuing to enlarge.

Available alpha blockers include:

Cardura (doxazosin)

Flomax (tamsulosin)

Hytrin (terazosin)

Uroxatral (alfuzosin)

What Are the Side Effects of Alpha Blockers?

Side effects may vary with the specific medication you are taking and will go away when you stop the medication. Each alpha blocker has slightly different side effects, which are usually mild, including:

Weakness or tiredness

Low blood pressure

Lightheadedness and dizziness

Stuffy or runny nose

Headaches

Stomach aches or pains

You may also notice less semen when you ejaculate. The alpha blockers may cause retrograde ejaculation, which is the ejaculation of all or some of your semen into your bladder instead of out through your penis. Although you may find this upsetting, it is not harmful.

You may not be able to use an alpha blocker if you have erectile dysfunction and are using a medication to treat your condition. An alpha blocker can lower your blood pressure to unhealthy levels if you take it along with a mediation to treat erectile dysfunction, such as Viagra (Sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil) or Cialis (tadalafil).

Does Flomax Cause Eye Problems?

The alpha blockers, including Flomax, do not affect vision or eye health. However, an eye problem called the floppy iris syndrome can occur in men who are taking or who have recently taken Flomax when they are having cataract surgery. Your eye surgeon (ophthalmologist) can make modifications in your cataract surgery, if needed.

5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: How Do 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors Work?

The 5-alpha reductase inhibitors work by interfering with the effect of specific male hormones (androgens) on your prostate. This may slow the growth of your prostate and can even cause your prostate to get smaller, which may help improve BPH symptoms.

Men with larger prostates may have a greater benefit from these medications than do men with smaller prostates. But, for some men, size (of the prostate that is) does not matter, and the 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may not give satisfactory results even if your prostate gets smaller.

The 5-alpha reductase inhibitors work slowly, and they may take up to six months before you notice any improvement.

Available 5-alpha reductase inhibitors include:

Avodart (dutasteride)

Proscar (finasteride)

What Are the Side Effects of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors?

Side effects of the 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are uncommon, and these medications appear to be safe and well tolerated. Side effects include:

Difficulty getting an erection

Decreased desire to have sex (decreased libido)

Smaller amount of semen releases during ejaculation

Tenderness or enlargement of the breasts

Avodart and Proscar can be taken with medications for erectile dysfunction.

5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors and PSA

Both Avodart and Proscar lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in your blood. Your doctor needs to know if you are taking one of these medications so she can properly interpret your PSA test results. This is important because PSA levels are used to detect early-stage prostate cancer.

Can I Take Both an Alpha Blocker and a 5-alpha Reductase Inhibitor?

Depending on your symptoms and the size of your prostate, your doctor may recommend a combination of an alpha-blocker with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. The combination of the two types of medications may help your symptoms more than either medicine alone.

Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Rachel and Tyson explore the Labyrinth until they find it. It is presumably destroyed with the rest of the Labyrinth when Daedalus died. It contains many laptop computers and easels with blueprints for his ideas and contained various pieces of art. It also contained four (improved and modified) versions of the set of wings Daedalus and Icarus used to escape Minos.
It used to always change locations and its favorite place is the Garden of the Gods, but now it is destroyed because of Daedalus' death after the Battle of the Labyrinth.

why doesnt it work on the Eris (with 1.5) but works on my neighbors Hero?
beuller? anyone?
Looks like the Hero uses Google Maps 3.4 but they removed pinch to zoom in v4.0 for Android 2.1
so we arent going to get that? not even in 2.1?
maybe it'll work with the official OTA release
i remember it being implemented on hero with just a software tweek. it didnt even need root. im going to research to see what i find one day
please let us know what you find out. its kinda frustrating that its basically the same phone and he has the capability and we dont.
