Posts Tagged 'self-awareness'
Back to the GP…
My mood seems to have calmed down a little from it's hyper, agitated position yesterday, at least for the time being. Okay – I thought it had, but half an hour since I began this entry (I got distracted!!) my mood is back to where it was yesterday and seems to be getting increasingly frustrating.
I hate this agitated state I'm in. It's so much worse than the low, dull depression that has been my predominant mood over the past few weeks. My concentration is next-to-none and I'm so wound up. I can't stay still and my mind is on overdrive. I'm really finding it difficult to be coherent. The few sentences I've strung together have taken me ages. I have to read them over and over again to check they do actually make sense.
It's hard to explain how it feels right now. It's something I've experienced before, but you forget what it's like until you find yourself there again. The self-awareness that you are not yourself, but the inability to do anything about it, the inability to slow down your thoughts and actions. My concentration is shot to pieces. I can't think about things properly. I have tried to settle down and work, but I can't even distract myself with it – it just seems to fuel my mood. I find myself jumping between my tasks, but doing none of them efficiently. I find myself reading things a million miles an hour but making no sense of them. I know I'm incapable of completing anything useful at this point. I'm trying to slow down, but struggling to put a hold of myself.
I know that part of this is returning anxiety. I am seeing my doctor again today. I called up for an appointment yesterday, but had to resort to calling at 8am this morning for a book-on-day. I'm seeing her at 3.30pm and I'm wound up about it. I am scared of telling her the truth. Scared of telling her about this agitated mood. Scared of telling her about the suicidal thoughts that were dominating my mind over the past week. Scared of the knowledge that suicide is still floating around my mind, but now I have the agitated state that gives me the energy to act on those thoughts. I'm battling them and promising myself I won't act, at least not in the immediate sense, but I'm scared of what might be done "for my safety" if I admit these thoughts. That is a thought that runs around and around in my head and I can't seem to shake out of it.
I am full of self-loathing and fear. I am embarrassed by my mood. I worry about how I come across. I tried to explain things to A. A is the girl that has joined the comms team whilst I've been off. She is lovely, but I am jealous. It is weird being in the office, working with someone who is doing your old job. It makes me feel so self-worthless, as she is clearly capable of doing everything without me. I was getting frustrated that I couldn't just walk back in and go back to what I was doing before. I know I couldn't handle it on my own anymore. I feel like I'm on hand just to answer questions and do the boring bits. I want to do the exciting things, the interesting things, the big projects, but I know I can't and I hate it. I wonder if I should have found a new role so I didn't feel like this. I can't think straight though and thoughts about work and whether I should be there roll around in my head. I'm confused and tired by it all.
I am worried that I am back to where I was before. It feels like deja vu. I had a call with HR yesterday afternoon, and it pretty much followed a similar pattern to one I had months back. They want me to go back to the occupational health for another assessment. They are unsure if I'm fit for work. That scares me. They want to support me and find a way to make things work and they want me to go back to my GP. My HR rep is in trouble because she didn't call me before she went on holiday. Her boss called yesterday. She's worried that I've returned to work on a full-time basis rather than using a phased return. I told her I only did that as I didn't know what else to do and no one had given me any advice or support. She said I should have a think about what might work and I should see my doctor for advice. She told me not to do long hours, but I find myself unable to rein them in.
I'm still taking the pills. I have no idea if they're working or not. I have no idea if they're having an effect. Before I didn't know if it was illness, circumstance or personality that made the cocktail that is my mood, actions and feelings. Now I don't know if it is illness, circumstance, personality or medication. I worry if it is the pills that have flipped me into this state. I worry that they're just not working on me in the way they should. Over two weeks in and the black thoughts are as strong as ever, but are mixed now with this agitated, hyper, frustrated ball of energy, that is my new mood. It's even worse than before.
This entry as disjointed as my head. I've tried to pull it together and have wrote and rewrote it a million times, but I just can't get my thoughts down and put them in order. My mind is like spaghetti junction, but without the road signs to guide you. Or maybe a jigsaw with no picture. Just lots of little pieces all spread across the floor, that don't fit together or make any coherent whole.
I go to my doctor in 4 hours. I'm scared and don't know what to say.

It took a rejection from a sandwich chain for Troy Feist to realize that he should just start his own.
Fresh out of high school and 19 years old, Feist always loved food — sandwiches, in particular — and he figured opening up a Togo's might be a good idea. So he and a friend made an appointment at the Togo's headquarters in San Jose.
"We met with them for maybe about five minutes before they shooed us out of their office," Feist said.
But it was a blessing, he remembered thinking, because now he could make sandwiches the way he wanted.
After coming up with a business plan — which they learned about after a trip to the library — and receiving a $55,000 loan from his dad, Feist opened Lakeside Sandwich Shop in 1981 near Folsom Lake, north of Sacramento.
That shop was the predecessor to the Beach Hut Deli, whose 31st store is now open for business in Costa Mesa. It's the Granite Bay-based chain's first restaurant in Southern California. Most of the other locations are around the Sacramento area. Three are in Nevada.
The nearly 1,500-square-foot deli at 488 E. 17th St. is having its soft opening, though a grand opening is in the works.
Beach Hut offers more than 31 cold and hot sandwiches. The bread is imported from the Truckee Sourdough Co.
Examples include the Surfin' Pig — Canadian ham, avocado, bacon and cream cheese — and the Spicolli, a hot, oven-roasted turkey breast sandwich on a French roll with cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, lettuce and hickory-smoked bacon.
Then there's the Surfin' Bird — with turkey, avocado, bacon and cream cheese — and the Beach Bikini; it has turkey, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, sunflower seeds, alfalfa sprouts and mayo.
A dozen beers from local breweries will also be on tap.
Many tables at Beach Hut are shaped like surfboards. TVs abound, with some booths having their own. The outside patio, once complete, will have TVs, small tables, palapas and heat lamps. Reggae and island music plays in the background.
"There's bamboo everywhere, all along the bar and counter areas," said Jim Donnell, a 25-year Newport Beach resident and commercial broker who helped bring Beach Hut to Newport-Mesa. "There's lots of palapas. With the attention to detail in the design upgrades, it adds to the uniqueness of the whole place."
Kristiane "Pun" Thompson, who's worked at Beach Hut since she was 15, is going to run the Costa Mesa location.
"To bring the franchise down here means so much to me and so much to our brand," she said. "We're so excited to be down here."
Donnell said he felt Beach Hut will stand out against other sandwich chains such as Subway, Quiznos or Jersey Mike's Subs. The Beach Hut aims to be a destination where patrons stay for 30 minutes or more; it wants to be a neighborhood gathering place, he said, not just another fast-food joint.
Feist said his restaurant will display the work of local artists and host acoustic music nights, beer samplings and other events.
A second O.C. location is planned to open in April in Huntington Beach, Donnell said.
But opening in Newport-Mesa, Feist said, has been particularly special. His family used to take beach trips to Newport, where he loved bodysurfing and everything about the water.
"This is a full-circle kind of thing for me … definitely a dream come true."

In business, whether you were a acceptable algebraic apprentice or not, you accept to apperceive your numbers. Follow the money aisle is a accepted adage that abounding consultants use in business – I don't disagree, but I do say that there are a few sets of numbers that you charge to break on top of to be a acknowledged business buyer and consultant.
Your beatitude pay
Some business owners don't pay abundant absorption to this number. We've all apprehend the books that acquaint you not to apprehend to accomplish a accumulation in your business aural the aboriginal few years. Are you badinage me? With that affectionate of mindset, I see abounding business owners not demography advantage of opportunities because they absolutely don't apprehend to accumulation at this time anyway.
How abundant money do you charge to acquire to be blessed and reside simple after activity of accent and getting overwhelmed? What's your beatitude bacon figure? You can consistently advancement it to the multi-million mark (or that may be your amount ambit now). Either way, the point is to accept this number.
I anticipate it's account acquainted that economists say that a being can reside calmly after anguish already they ability at atomic $70,000 a year. Of course, that depends on how able-bodied you administer your claimed finances.
Overhead and account expenses
You charge to amount out and apperceive (like the aback of your hand) how abundant money you charge to accompany in every ages to awning your aerial expenses. Don't skimp or belittle in this area. It's far bigger to aggrandize a little to be abiding that you are covered than to belittle and abatement short.
Your about-face rates
If you batten to 100 affairs (however you acquaint with prospects), how abounding of them would become customers? Tracking these numbers is advantageous to you because you can again set your ambition to allege to 10 affairs per anniversary – if your about-face arrangement is 50 percent, again you would accept 5 new customers. This helps big time with ambition ambience and your circadian activities. Some business owners get absent in non-money-making activities because they don't accept the appropriate goals set.
The boilerplate account of your customer
Over a year's time, what is the boilerplate account of anniversary of your customers? In added words, how abundant money are they acceptable to absorb with you over the year. This is a acceptable amount to know. For instance, if alive with a Gutter Cleaning Service, we bent that their boilerplate chump was account $2,000 over a year's time. Already we knew that number, we could again actuate that we bare 125 barter to ability his quarter-million-dollar goal.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Anyone reading between the lines two weeks ago should not have been surprised by tonight's news that Andrew Bynum's season is over before it ever started and that he'll need surgery on both of his ailing knees.
Bynum's fate was sealed months ago, during training camp, when we all learned that the knee issues that have plagued him throughout his career were flaring up again after that blockbuster summer trade that sent the Los Angeles Lakers' big man problem to Philadelphia for the Sixers to deal with.
The jaw-dropping part of this whole mess is anyone being shocked that it's come to this: Bynum's tenure with the Sixers consisting of not one single second of actual game action in Philly.
"After many months of rehabilitation and consulting with numerous doctors, Andrew and the doctors treating him determined that this is the best course of action at this point," Sixers General Manager Tony DiLeo said in a statement. "We will continue to monitor and evaluate his status moving forward."
Moving forward?
Bynum is an unrestricted free agent this summer. That's a Bynum-filled headache the Sixers don't need after paying him $16.9 million this season to model his wardrobe and throwback hair styles on the bench while his teammates suffered through a brutal season that was supposed to be filled with so much more.
DiLeo and the Sixers would be wise to let someone else take the next multi-million dollar risk on Bynum's shaky knees. They've already poured more than enough money down that drain.
That offseason trade, a blockbuster 12-player deal involving four teams that had Sixers fans dreaming about being contenders, wound up being productive for everyone but the Sixers. Dwight Howard's season with the Lakers has been rough, but they are in playoff position right now and at least have hope for the future. Andre Iguodala has adjusted well in Denver, playing a similar role to the one he played for the Sixers, helping the Nuggets to a playoff spot and a 12-game win streak. And Orlando has made good use of Nikola Vucevic, Maurice Harkless and Arron Afflalo.
The Sixers got a wanna-be dominant big man with bilateral knee bone bruises that have bothered him all season, a one-time All-Star with knees that might never support a bid for a second, third, fourth or fifth All-Star nod. A September trip to Germany for the Orthokine therapy injections that worked wonders for Kobe Bryant, and more recently Brooklyn Nets point guard Deron Williams, did absolutely nothing for Bynum.
A Sixers team that was supposed to be primed for a climb up the ladder in the Eastern Conference playoff chase after a surprise run to the conference semifinals last season has suddenly turned into the poster child for thinking and long and hard before you act on the next so-called "blockbuster" deal.
Bynum's absence has taken a toll on all involved, including Sixers coach Doug Collins, who reached his boiling point late last month after a loss to Orlando when he vented his frustrations about how things have unfolded.
"The team that we tried to put together we've never seen," Collins said after that Orlando loss. "And so I think, when you take a huge piece away from it, your warts show."
Direct shots at Bynum and the summer deal gone wrong were included in his 10-minute rant.
"We made a huge deal. And we have nobody playing as part of that deal," Collins continued. "How many teams can give up Andre Iguodala, Moe Harkless and Nik Vucevic, and have nothing in return playing? That's tough to overcome, right? That's just the facts. I'm not looking for any out. But that's the facts. Nik Vucevic had 19 rebounds tonight. Spencer [Hawes] had one. I think Lavoy [Allen] had two."
Promising young point guard Jrue Holiday has done his part. He became an All-Star this season and kept the Sixers afloat for a while, when everyone still believed that Bynum would actually hit the floor at some point.
But like everyone else in Philly, Holiday got burned by the Bynum deal.
And the ashes will blow through the franchise for a while, kicking up every time someone mentions Bynum's name or the blockbuster that went up in smoke on the Sixers.

New website connects donors with nonprofits through video storytelling
New website connects donors with nonprofits through video storytelling
Naperville resident Marion Ruthig had been a certified public accountant for 12 years when she saw a video of Hesed House in Aurora, a nonprofit organization that provides food, shelter, clothing and hope for the homeless.
Unfamiliar with Hesed House, the video moved her to tears -- and motivated her to switch gears in her own life. Wouldn't it be great if every nonprofit could tell its story in such a compelling way, she thought.
If you goWhat: "Giving Hope Through Community" fundraiser for I Support Community
When: 5:30 to 7:45 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22
Where: Center Stage Theater, 1665 Quincy Ave., Suite 131, Naperville
Cost: $45
A month later Ruthig quit her accounting job to start I Support Community, a website she envisions as a Netflix of nonprofit videos. Potential donors, volunteers, sponsors and people in need could click on videos to find a nonprofit with which to connect.
"Some of these videos and some of these stories are so amazing," Ruthig said. "The more people I talked to, the more positive feedback I got. A lot of people said they would definitely use a resource like that."
Teaming up with Hildebrand Creative to shoot the videos, Ruthig produced the first last fall at Russell House, an organization in Rolla, Mo., that serves victims of domestic and sexual violence.
Locally, KidsMatter in Naperville has signed on with I Support Community for a video of its mission to empower kids and parents by connecting them with community resources.
IdaLynn Wenhold, executive director of KidsMatter, said that up to now the organization had produced videos to give hope to families who might be facing problems like substance abuse or bullying.
"I Support Community is unique. Telling your stories is probably the most compelling way to communicate a nonprofit's mission," she said. "I believe that will touch the hearts of people who want to donate."
Ruthig said she hopes KidsMatter is the first of many local organizations to use I Support Community's services.
"Our goal in the first year is to have 25 organizations on our site," she said.
Each nonprofit actually receives three videos: one profiling the organization, one focusing on the programs the group offers and one thank you video for donors. All the videos are produced free to the nonprofits, Ruthig said.
"We are going to be doing a lot of fundraising," she said, adding that as the organization grows she hopes it will gain corporate sponsors.
I Support Community's first fundraiser, "Giving Hope through Stories," will be from 5:30 to 7:45 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, at Center Stage Theater, 1665 Quincy Ave., Suite 131, Naperville. Tickets are $45 and include appetizers and a glass of beer or wine.
CLTV news anchor Dolly McCarthy, a Naperville resident, will serve as master of ceremonies. The guest speaker will be Jonny Imerman, founder of Imerman Angels, an organization that matches cancer patients with mentors who have survived the same type of cancer the patient has. Many people are not aware of Imerman Angels, Ruthig said.
"I think this is going to be a great way to demonstrate what I Support Community is trying to do," she said.
Sharon Meusch, executive director of Russell House in Missouri and a friend of Ruthig's family, said she will be at the fundraiser. Russell House had never had a video of its work produced before, and other nonprofits in her area are asking how they did it, Meusch said.
"I do know donations have been made to our organization through I Support Community," she said.
Russell House has put the video on its own website and is using it to train volunteers, Meusch said. She admitted that at first she felt intimidated by the idea of having a video crew come but felt better when the team was only two people.
"They were here two days," she said. "We were just so pleased when we saw the end product."
Ruthig said that in the beginning, I Support Community will produce all its own videos for the sake of consistency. Any nonprofit may apply. Ruthig uses her background as a CPA to check their financial statements. She hopes for a variety of groups, but said she will avoid those that are political or that pick and choose who they serve.
"We're interested in nonprofit organizations that don't discriminate in who they provide services to," she said.
Ruthig, the mother of three young children, said she hopes I Support Community provides a resource for busy people like herself who want to give and to teach their children to give but lack the time to research charitable organizations.
Businesses who encourage their employees to be involved in volunteer activities also might use it, she said.
"I feel there are a lot of people out there who are time-constrained who still want to get involved and still want to help," she said. "I also think it's going to be a great resource for people in need who don't know where to turn."

A dividend of having a young team, as the Dolphins inarguably have, is that players can take significant leaps from their rookie or second seasons, thus helping to raise the team to a much higher level almost overnight.
Sure, some players fail to take that big step or they don't meet the expectations and potential their gifts suggest. (Such players get traded to the San Francisco 49'ers for a fifth-round pick.)
But many up-and-comers make their biggest move in their second or third years.
I was discussing this in part with former wide receiver Nat Moore on our recent day-trip to Haiti when he recounted the story of Mark Duper and Mark Clayton. Moore told of how as a rookie year, Clayton often benefitted from the fact defenses typically doubled Mark Duper on the outside or himself on the inside. Clayton was still learning and really didn't contribute much as a rookie -- six catches for 114 yards.
"But the next year when the light bulb went on for him, there was no stopping him," Moore said of Clayton. "He beat single coverage and then he figured out the game so well, he could beat double-coverage. With his talent, he just took off."
Took off like a rocket, actually. Clayton caught 73 passes for 1,389 yards and a whopping 18 touchdowns in 1984. Duper, who didn't catch a pass as a rookie in 1982, climbed to 51 in 1983 and 71 for 1,36 yards in 1984. Apparently things clicked for him as well.
Well, we should expect the 2010 Miami Dolphins to sound like a field of crickets because I expect there to be a lot of clicking going on for that young roster.
The Dolphins have players that everyone in the organization hopes are on the cusp of being big-time contributors if not outright stars.
Chief on that list is quarterback Chad Henne.
In his third season and second as the starter, Henne must have a breakthrough season for the Dolphins to make a legitimate run at the playoffs. This is the year he has to solve the accuracy and timing issues he had at times in 2009 as a first-year starter. Those were understandable then. There's a next step to take now.
I think Henne will take that step. He's too gifted, too confident, and too hard-working not to take the step. I'm not expecting him to lead the league in passing. That's not what Miami's system is initially going to ask of him.
But 24-25 touchdowns? Why not?
And as long as he keeps the mistakes to maybe 10-12 interceptions, things will be very, very good in Miami.
Of course, Henne will need help. And there's a good chance he'll get it. Here is a list of other players I believe can have a breakout year in 2010. You'll notice some folks are missing. I'm being conservative here. I'm sure you will add the missing names in the comments section.
This is my list:
Brian Hartline: I predict he will win the starting job opposite Brandon Marshall. He is bigger than Davone Bess, faster than Greg Camarillo and he can play all three WR positions. He's a smart guy. He's mature. He gets it. He has shown reliable hands. No, he is not a burner. But he did run track in high school and I believe he's fast enough to hurt defenses when their focus is on Marshall.
Vontae Davis: It took him a while to find his NFL niche. He was raw and a little wide-eyed at first. But he is tough, he is as athletic as they come, he's fearless and there's no quit in him -- as evidence by that TD-saving tackle from behind on a kickoff last year. Davis suffered something of a setback with a wrist injury earlier this offseason. But there has been no mention of that lately and if he continues to rise at the rate he did after the midpoint of 2009, he'll be the second-best cornerback in the AFC East by the end of 2010.
I wanted to include Cameron Wake. I even had his paragraph written up. But I just need to see more. The fact is he was very explosive as a pass-rusher, but still had only one sack the final four games of the season when he was getting his most playing time. Wake might bust out with 14 sacks in 2010 and that would surprise no one. But he also might have six sacks in 2010 and, well, that would surprise no one. It will all depend on whether things clicked for him.

LONDON (Reuters) - Shares in Britain's Royal Mail (RMG.L) rocketed to a near 40 percent premium above their issue price in Friday's stock market debut, fuelling a debate about whether they had been priced too low in order to guarantee a successful privatization.
The share price increase, which lifted the value of the near 500-year-old company to as much as 4.56 billion pounds ($7.3 billion) in one of Britain's biggest state sell-offs for decades, came after criticism from the opposition Labour party that the government was short-changing taxpayers.
The stock hit an early high of 456 pence after the hugely oversubscribed sale of a majority stake, priced at 330p and generating 1.7 billion pounds for the government before fees and a possible "overallotment" option of extra shares which can be sold depending on demand.
By 1253 GMT the shares were trading at 440p.
Business Secretary Vince Cable denied the government had undervalued Royal Mail, whose red post boxes decorated with the Royal Crest are a feature of landscapes from Land's End in southwest England to John o'Groats in the far north of Scotland.
"You get an enormous amount of froth and speculation in the aftermath of a big initial public offering (IPO) of this kind," Cable told the BBC. "What matters is where the price eventually settles and ... that's what we're really interested in."
After receiving around 27 billion pounds worth of orders for the 1.7 billion worth of shares on offer, the government allocated 33 percent of the offering to members of the public, with the rest going to institutions such as pension funds.
Financial bookmaker IG said 102 million shares had changed hands in the first hour, almost a fifth of the total on offer. "Clearly there has been an awful lot of euphoria and maybe an element of hype ... so maybe people have got a bit carried away," said David Jones, IG's chief market strategist.
Brokerages including Hargreaves Lansdown (HRGV.L) reported the surge in demand meant some customers had problems accessing their accounts. A spokesman said Hargreaves had put six times the normal number of people on the dealing lines taking calls.
The appeal of the stock was boosted by a lucrative dividend promise, consisting of a final 2014 dividend totaling 133 million pounds, equating to a full-year payout of 200 million or an implied yield of 6.1 percent - attractive at a time when a regular UK savings account is yielding less than 3 percent.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU), which is holding a strike ballot over pay and job security, protested against the sale outside the London Stock Exchange (LSE.L). Around 30 gathered holding banners with slogans such as "The great Royal Mail robbery".
The government handed 10 percent of Royal Mail's shares to staff in the largest share giveaway of any major British privatization, with just 368 of the 150,000 eligible UK-based workers declining to take up their free shares.
CWU General Secretary Billy Hayes said Friday's share price move showed the firm had been undervalued by a billion pounds. "It's outrageous what's happening today," he told Reuters.
Dominic Beck, a west-London based Royal Mail worker of 20 years, said he was concerned about the future of his job. "History shows us that when companies privatize, workforces deteriorate very rapidly," said Beck, who like other staff is required to hold his free shares for three years.
Simon Maughan, analyst at Olivetree Financial Group, estimated that on a forward EV/EBITDA (enterprise value to core earnings) basis, Royal Mail would be valued in line with the EU parcel and postal sector average of around 6.8 times, including peers such as Austrian Post (POST.VI), at about 460p per share.
Businesses are typically sold at a discount of 10 to 15 percent in IPOs to compensate investors for risking their money.
A person familiar with the matter said there were factors to consider in Royal Mail's valuation, including challenges such as the risk of strike action and its declining letters business, as well as the unusually large stake being sold in one go.
"When you look at the price at which you can sell 60 percent of a company that has never been listed before on one day, compared to the price you can trade a small parcel of shares in the market, clearly there is a massive discount," he said.
Royal Mail's public offering leaves the government with a 38 percent stake, but this could fall to 30 percent should it choose to exercise the overallotment option.
The shares, which could be eligible to join the FTSE 100 index .FTSE of leading companies at its next review in December, are trading conditionally until October 15, meaning in theory if the sale was cancelled the trades would be void.
Only institutions - and those who ordered stock through a broker offering conditional trade - can so far sell, not those who bought through the official website or by post. It was not clear what proportion of private investors are excluded from selling until unconditional trade starts next week.
Goldman Sachs (GS.N) and UBS UBSN.VX ran the sale, and were also joint bookrunners along with Barclays (BARC.L) and Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAC.N). Lazard (LAZ.N) was financial advisor to the government.

Oct 2, 2006 (CIDRAP News) – Recent tests suggest that an antiviral drug given by intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection could eventually serve as another weapon against influenza, according to results presented at a conference last week.
In animal studies, peramivir improved survival in mice and ferrets infected with H5N1 avian flu, according to a news release from BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc., Birmingham, Ala., which is developing the drug. The results were presented Sep 30 at the annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in San Francisco.
In addition, in phase 1 clinical studies, IV and IM doses of peramivir produced high blood levels of the drug in human volunteers without causing any adverse events, according to Dr. Charles E. Bugg, PhD, chairman and chief executive of BioCryst.
The clinical studies "showed you can achieve high blood levels in humans safely," Bugg told CIDRAP News in an interview today. The combination of those results with the animal studies is promising, he said.
Peramivir is a neuraminidase inhibitor, like the licensed antivirals oseltamivir (Tamiflu), and zanamivir (Relenza). Oseltamivir is an oral drug, while zanamivir is inhaled as a powder. Many countries have stockpiled oseltamivir on the assumption that it will help if the H5N1 virus sparks a pandemic.
BioCryst started developing peramivir in 1998 in partnership with Johnson and Johnson, Bugg said. Early studies showed the drug inhibited flu viruses effectively, but when taken orally, its bioavailability was very low, which prompted Johnson and Johnson to pull out of the program.
Because injectable peramivir looked promising in animals, the program was resurrected with help from the National Institutes of Health about a year ago, Bugg said. He explained that the company is developing an IV formulation intended for hospital patients and an IM formulation for outpatients.
In the animal studies, four groups of mice were infected with an H5N1 virus and then were treated with either a single IM injection of peramvir, five daily IM injections, oral oseltamivir for 5 days, or an IM placebo injection daily for 5 days, according to the news release. The single-injection group had a 70% survival rate and the five-injection group a 80% survival rate, compared with 36% for the placebo group and 70% for the oseltamivir group.
In the ferret experiment, one group received a daily IM injection for 5 days, while a second group received an IM placebo daily for 5 days. Eighty-six percent of the treated group survived, versus 43% of the placebo group, according to the news release.
Bugg said treatment was started an hour after the animals were infected with the virus. He said additional studies will involve longer time lapses between exposure and the start of treatment.
Results of the clinical studies were presented by flu expert Frederick Hayden, MD, of the University of Virginia. Three groups of volunteers received different IV doses of peramivir, and a fourth group received increasing IM doses once a day for 3 days, the company release said. "Preliminary safety results indicate that in the four studies, all doses were well-tolerated with no adverse laboratory events or ECG findings reported," the statement said.
"I think peramivir looks very promising," said Hayden, as quoted in a Sep 29 Bloomberg News report. "It's proven to have very good activity in single doses."
In an interview, Hayden told Bloomberg that injecting peramivir into the bloodstream or into muscle can produce blood levels 100 times higher than those seen with oral oseltamivir, now considered the most promising treatment for H5N1 infection.
Last January the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave injectable peramivir fast-track status for regulatory approval, according to BioCryst. But Bugg said it would take at least several more years to gain FDA approval.
"We'll do a clinical trial this flu season, and then two more next season," he said. "We're looking at several more years." He said the company will be meeting with the FDA soon to review the program and may have a better idea of the timeline after that.
Bugg said plans also call for testing the drug in human H5N1 patients at sites in Thailand and Vietnam and also to make it available in Turkey, which had human cases early this year.
"We'll be trying to collect data from H5N1-infected patients in Southeast Asia in collaboration with the World Health Organization," he said. "We'll be on the front line to capture H5N1 if it occurs. But realistically we won't have enough [patients] for a meaningful statistical analysis."
In a Sep 29 Reuters report, Bugg said peramivir is easier to make than Tamiflu. One Swiss manufacturer can make 1 metric ton of the drug in a month, enough to treat an estimated 8 million people, he said.

In honor of World Oceans Day, West Marine, the largest specialty retailer of boating supplies and accessories, today announced the recipients of their annual Marine Conservation Grants program.
Grants for a total amount of $35,000 are being awarded to organizations throughout the U.S. who are working to "improve and protect marine habitat," which is part of West Marine's mission. This year's grant recipients are located in Florida, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Hawaii, California and Virginia.
"West Marine is proud to support recreational fishing, scientific and marine environmental groups who are working together for abundant and healthy habitats and fish stocks," said Randy Repass, chairman and founder of West Marine. "The work of these organizations will benefit recreational fishing, sustainable commercial fishing and help to enhance fish populations for today's anglers and future generations."
The 10 grants awarded focused on projects that enhance fish populations including; (1) engaging anglers in data collection and tagging, (2) enhancing marine habitat, (3) educating anglers, (4) encouraging policies that maintain healthy fish stocks.
The Hawaii Recipients of the West Marine Conservation Grants for 2012:
- Pacific Islands Fisheries Group: The Pacific Islands Fisheries Group (PIFG) was established to help keep Pacific Island fishermen engaged and informed on the management and conservation of fishery resources. PIFG administers and supports programs that benefit marine and fishery resources, enhances fishing experiences and encourages responsible fishing. Find more information about PIFG at www.fishtoday.org.The grant will support PIFG's Statewide Tagging Challenge for tournaments. Tagging raises awareness about the science and management of local fisheries and contributes valuable data to local and national fisheries management.
- The Ocean Foundation Tag-a-Giant Fund: The Tag-A-Giant Fund supports research on highly migratory fishes and promotes innovative policy and conservation initiatives based on this research. Led by Stanford University Professor of Marine Sciences Dr. Barbara Block, Tag-A-Giant has played a key role in integrating cutting-edge research into discussions of fisheries policy and marine spatial planning, particularly as it concerns bluefin tuna. You can learn more about them by visiting www.tagagiant.org.Funds will be used to purchase a tag for the HIBT Great Marlin Race. The Great Marlin Race is collaboration between Stanford University, the Hawaiian International Billfish tournament and IGFA. Tags deployed on blue marlin during tournaments provide valuable data for researchers.
West Marine's Marine Conservation Grants are awarded through a formal application process in which interested organizations must submit their proposal directly to West Marine. All applications are reviewed and evaluated by a dedicated and experienced cross-functional team of senior West Marine leaders.
Those applying must show sound financial policies and management with a key focus in marine conservation, habitat restoration and sustainable fisheries. These activities may cover water clean-up, habitat protection and restoration, ocean science and conservation projects that relate to key marine species, water quality, sustainable ocean use, etc.

The subcommand imqcmd shutdown bkr shuts down a broker:
imqcmd shutdown bkr [-b hostName:portNumber] [-time nSeconds] [-nofailover]
The broker stops accepting new connections and messages, completes delivery of existing messages, and terminates the broker process.
The -time option, if present, specifies the interval, in seconds, to wait before shutting down the broker. For example, the following command delays 90 seconds and then shuts down the broker running on host wolfgang at port 1756:
imqcmd shutdown bkr -b wolfgang:1756 -time 90 -u admin
The broker will not block, but will return immediately from the delayed shutdown request. During the shutdown interval, the broker will not accept any new jms connections; admin connections will be accepted, and existing jms connections will continue to operate. If the broker belongs to an enhanced broker cluster, it will not attempt to take over for any other broker during the shutdown interval.
If the broker is part of an enhanced broker cluster (see High-Availability Clusters in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Technical Overview), another broker in the cluster will ordinarily attempt to take over its persistent data on shutdown; the -nofailover option to the imqcmd shutdown bkr subcommand suppresses this behavior. Conversely, you can use the imqcmd takeover bkr subcommand to force such a takeover manually (for instance, if the takeover broker were to fail before completing the takeover process); see Preventing or Forcing Broker Failover for more information.
The imqcmd takeover bkr subcommand is intended only for use in failed-takeover situations. You should use it only as a last resort, and not as a general way of forcibly taking over a running broker.
To shut down and restart a broker, use the subcommand imqcmd restart bkr:
imqcmd restart bkr [-b hostName:portNumber]
This shuts down the broker and then restarts it using the same options that were specified when it was first started. To choose different options, shut down the broker with imqcmd shutdown bkr and then start it again with the Broker utility (imqbrokerd), specifying the options you want.

Two teenagers, both seriously injured a week apart while playing hockey, remained hospitalized on Sunday at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, where their family members anxiously watched their every movement, hoping for signs of improvement.
Jenna Privette, an 18-year-old senior at St. Croix Lutheran High School in West St. Paul who was injured on Friday, was in satisfactory condition, still unable to move her legs or feet and still experiencing pain and tingling in her arms, according to her father, Dan Privette of Burnsville. "There hasn't been a lot of change," he said on Sunday, although an MRI showed no breaks in her spinal cord. She will undergo further testing.
Jack Jablonski, a 16-year-old Benilde-St. Margaret's sophomore paralyzed on Dec. 30 after a check from behind that severed his spinal cord, had his feeding tube removed on Saturday, ate his first solid food -- cheese pizza -- and was lifted into an upright position for a few minutes. "He's been lying on his back for seven days, and he did very well," said his father, Mike Jablonski.
Jablonski, who has been told he will never walk or skate again, has regained some movement in both his shoulders and upper arms. "Moving his arms -- that's huge," said his father, who planned to spend Sunday decorating his son's hospital room with NHL jerseys sent to him in an outpouring of sympathy and support from the hockey world.
The family has been heartened by the small improvements in Jack's mobility, as well as by seeing his spirit returning. "All of a sudden we got Jack back. He's talking. His personality is there," Mike said. "With all the meds, he was so groggy. I told him, 'You've got a lot of people pulling hard for you.' The hockey community, and the community in general, has been beautiful."
But while his slight gains in mobility are positive, "it doesn't change the fact that the spinal cord is completely severed," said Dr. Tina Slusher, pediatric critical care doctor at HCMC. "With various devices, he will have some use, and even a little movement means you can do a lot more. Still, we're not very optimistic about a lot more return in function." If Jack's progress continues, he probably will be moved to a rehabilitation facility within the next week or two, Slusher said.
Privette's prognosis is unclear, although her injury appears less severe than Jablon-ski's. "She's had an MRI, and it did not show breaks in the spinal cord, which makes it different than Jablonski's [injury]," said Carl Lemke, athletic director at St. Croix Lutheran. "It's an injury she's had in the past. Hopefully, it will improve."
Dan Privette said his daughter was injured once before, in eighth grade, when she also lost feeling in her legs. This time, she was playing in a game she had dedicated to Jablonski when she was hit from behind and fell face down on the ice. "It happened right in front of me," her father said.
Safety debate
The two high-profile incidents have sparked debate about how the game should be played, coached and officiated to best protect the safety of young players.
Checking is not allowed in girls' hockey, under Minnesota High School League rules, yet Dan Privette said that he saw his daughter checked from behind and that the player who delivered the check did not receive a penalty.
Checking is allowed in boys' hockey, although not from behind, at the bantam and high school levels. Until this season, checking also was allowed for younger peewee players. A ban was implemented last year.
That ban, imposed by USA Hockey, has been controversial in Minnesota, the one state that opposed it. Critics say players should learn proper techniques for giving and receiving a check at the peewee level or risk more severe injuries at the bantam level when players are bigger, faster and capable of inflicting more damage.
Mike Jablonski doesn't think checking should be banned, but he hopes that one result of his son's injury is stricter officiating. "Checking 10 to 20 years ago is different than it is now," he said. "You can't be hitting people blindly into the boards. Let's make this a finesse game of speed and skill."
Even before the recent injuries, Todd Cocallas, board member for the Eden Prairie Hockey Association, was calling for stricter officiating. His son, a bantam, suffered a concussion this season when he was crossed-checked from behind and sent face-first into the boards. "The kid didn't even get a penalty," Cocallas said. "He should have been kicked out of the tournament. Kids have got to be taught that this is not OK."
But unnecessary roughness in hockey is part of a bigger issue for the sport, said Hal Tearse, who trains coaches for Minnesota Hockey and coaches at Providence Academy in Plymouth. "It's watching fights on the Internet, with the 'hit of the week' and the 'fight of the week,'" he said in an interview before the recent injuries. "We continue to glorify the parts of the game that are extremely dangerous to the participants."

Going into the exhibition titled "Women Painters West" at the Burbank Creative Arts Center Gallery, one might expect a feminine version of westward expansion art like that of Charles Marion Russell or Frederic Remington. But the eclectic presentation of abstract, traditional, and assemblage art is surprising, and quite good.
Originally known as the Women's Art Club of Southern California, Women Painters West has educational, fraternal, and charitable objectives through the encouragement of artistic expression. Members number approximately 200 and are comprised of established art professionals who are jury-screened for acceptance. WPW members have been recognized and honored nationally and internationally. In this exhibition, 56 works of art produced by this sorority impress viewers with a concentration of skill and experience.
Most artists would agree that watercolor is one of the most difficult mediums to control. JoAnn Formia's painting, titled "Before the Fair Opens," is wildly energetic in its color, brushwork and layered depth of field. Creating layers like this with a combination of running and blending colors along with dry-brushing requires expertise. Formia manages to retain the edges necessary to imply imagery, yet blurs enough with her mixed technique to impart motion. Confetti-like strokes indicate flags and tents, masts and lines, wheels and winds, all stirred together in an explosion of color. It is a skillfully controlled, fun painting.
The framing of the pieces, however, was lacking. Many of these great pieces could have been complemented and enhanced with better trimming. One artist, however, appropriately left her canvases unframed. Mila Benedicto's oil-on-canvas painting, titled "Pasadena Nights II," depicts a widescreen perspective that captures a busy city street on a rainy night. Wet pavement reflects city lights and automobile headlamps. Yellow cabs race toward the edge of the canvas, taking the viewer's eyes along for the ride. The colors are realistic and the action is believable. Framing this piece would have trapped the energy. Benedicto was right to obscure the edges and run the eyes off of the picture plane. The result is very Degas-like.
Norma Wolfstein's portrait in acrylics of "Daisy" is a lovely reclining image, an elegant picture. The drapery is rendered beautifully and the artist captures a mood. The technique looks like it was done effortlessly, not overworked. "Daisy," however, deserves a warm frame to draw out her color and femininity. Her cool blue dress is enough contrast for the warm background and brown hair. Extending the warmth off of the picture with a nice gilt frame of the proper scale would make this image glow.
Women Painters West deserves credit for its longevity, as well as for providing an outlet for finding potential in emerging artists and nurturing it.

Everybody knows that EJB containers provide container-managed transactions (CMT) as the preferred transaction demarcation mechanism. However, the same is possible for 'simple' servlet/JSP applications that don't have access to EJB technology. This tech tip explains how.
There are at least two alternative ways to let the 'container' manage transactions in J2EE web applications:
- By using a filter.
- By using Spring.
The second alternative has been the subject of other tech tips and will not be repeated here.
To enable container-managed transactions with a filter, it suffices to write a filter class as follows:
import com.atomikos.icatch.jta.J2eeUserTransaction; public class TransactionFilter implements Filter { //Use the Atomikos UserTransaction implementation to start and end //the transactions! private J2eeUserTransaction utx = new J2eeUserTransaction(); ... public void doFilter( ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) { try { //start a new transaction for this request utx.begin(); //delegate the request to the next filter, and eventually to the target servlet or JSP chain.doFilter(request,response,chain); //if no exception happened: commit the transaction utx.commit(); } catch( ... ) { //analyze exception to dermine of rollback is required or not //and then call rollback or commit on utx as appropriate } } }Add this filter on top of every request URL that should be transactional. Your servlet/JSP or Java code is thus freed from any transactional source code; all is concentrated in the filter.

In addition to a source code patch, new xlock binaries have been created for each architecture listed below. Place these binaries at /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock and chmod 4755 /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock.
1. A symlink problem was discovered in the KerberosIV password checking routines /usr/bin/su and /usr/bin/login, which makes it possible for a local user to overwrite any file on the local machine.
2. It is possible to specify environment variables in telnet which will be passed over the to the remote host. This makes it possible to set environment variables on the remote side, including ones that have special meaning on the server. It is not clear at this time what the impact is, but we recommend everyone to upgrade their machines immediately.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.

A spaceship-like, 1,000-seat theater may be the most striking feature of the Motion Picture Academy's planned film museum at LACMA, but the organization has also revealed a bevy of other details about what the six-story, 290,000-square-foot facility opening in 2017, will include. Some highlights:
Ground Floor: This will consist of a public piazza, the museum lobby, a cafe and a gift store. The piazza will connect the film museum to the rest of the LACMA campus. The academy says "a majestic red carpet and Cannes-style grand staircase" will take visitors into the soaring 1,000-seat, domed "premiere theater," to be named for David Geffen, who has pledged $25 million to the $300-million museum.
From the piazza, visitors will enter the ground floor of the exhibit space where they will find a two-story 12,000-square-foot "making of..." experience. The academy says this permanent and interactive exhibition "will recreate the experience of real-life theatrical moviemaking" and will "allow visitors to make lasting memories while learning how to shoot and edit a film, light a set, oversee a voiceover session, score a film, overlay visual effects, color correct, become a Foley artist, utilize a green screen and more."
Connected to the "making of" exhibition will be a "demonstration stage" with room for 150 people to watch as "academy members and other moviemaking professionals who will conduct clinics and master classes tied to the arts and sciences of moviemaking."
Also planned for that section of the museum is a two-story, 6,200-square-foot gallery to present traveling shows and special exhibitions, some of which may be developed in collaboration with other cultural institutions.
Second floor: This story will include more than 10,000 square feet devoted to this history of the movies. Topics to be covered in this section include:
— Lumière and the Cinématographe
— Edison and the Kinetoscope and Vitascope
— the Silent Age of Cinema
— the rise and influence of the studio system
— the defining of classic film genres — musicals, westerns, gangster films, horror films
— the impact of World War II on movie making
— film noir and the blacklist
— the impact of TV on the movie industry
— epics and 3-D
— the business of moviemaking, including exhibitors, studios, guilds, agencies
— foreign films
— teen culture
— independent cinema
— animation throughout the decades
— digital versus film; the impact of new technologies; and more.
A 144-seat theater will be part of the film history gallery and will host screenings tied to the exhibits. The academy says this theater will also showcase film series and retrospectives, independent and experimental movies, and foreign films. Also planned for the second floor is a Founders Room, to be used as a "luxurious dining and special events space."
Third Floor: This level will be largely devoted to chronicling the academy itself, with a permanent exhibit on the organization and the Oscars. A planned 8,700-square-foot multi-media and interactive exhibition will let visitors "walk the red carpet, learn about the history of the academy and the Academy Awards, explore the work of recent nominees, and even have the ability accept their own Oscar." The academy bills this section of the museum as "thrilling."
This section will allow visitors to learn about "every Oscar winner in every category throughout the history of the Academy Awards." Attendees will also be able to view still shots and film footage of Academy Award shows and watch videos of acceptance speeches of past Oscar winners. (It remains to be seen whether this section will allow visitors to revisit Seth MacFarlane's "We Saw Your Boobs" song from the 2013 show or Rob Lowe's notorious musical number with Snow White from the 1989 telecast.) Another 144-seat theater will be embedded within the third floor, screening films related to the Oscars.
Fourth Floor: This will house a 8,700-square-foot gallery space for touring exhibits and a 1,500-square-foot education center, targeted at K–12 students.
Roof: Billed as "one of the most spectacular special event and scenic view spaces" in Los Angeles, the rooftop terrace is slated to host cocktail receptions, post-premiere parties, and other special events. A dining room and garden will accommodate 1,000 guests and the academy believes it will become "Los Angeles' leading location for galas, awards ceremonies, and academy special events."
Lower Level: The basement level will allow visitors a peek into the museum's storage areas, giving them a glimpse of artifacts in the museum's permanent collection not currently on display — including props, scripts, posters and photographs.

If you have a new physical theory which predicts some phenomenon, it should reduce to previously known physical theories, and be able to explain existing experiments and observations. If I believe that the EM drive is actually providing some nonclassical, unexplained thrust, I must throw out 100+ years of physics experiment and theory. I choose not to do that, which is why I do not believe further experimentation is warranted. Others may choose differently, but then they should ask themselves why they are so eager to disregard such a large body of established science.
I'm going to preface this by admitting straight off the bat that I don't actually know why it wouldn't have been noticed before. However, the functionality of these EM drives is dependent on resonance, which requires the broadcast energy to be absorbed, or at the very least contained, by the cavity. For the purposes of transmission, resonating cavities are a characteristic of inefficiency and loss to design against, no?
So what are the leading contenders among established physical phenomena which could account for some of the observations/results from the experimental apparatus?Could these results be due to a mere photon rocket - ie. due to mere photon emissions?Could they be due to the EM fields interacting with the rest of the apparatus in ways that would throw off the measurements?Could the results be due to some mechanical effect of electric current passing through wires, etc?List the possible legitimate effects that could be contributing to these anomalous results, and then figure out ways to modify the rig to eliminate or otherwise correct for them.
The mere fact that this saga has continued for 15 years without a definitive experiment such as suggested by squid leads one to smell a rat! Could it all just be due to poor experimental method?
How to eliminate almost all of these (and for the life of me I can't understand why this hasn't been done, as it's pretty obvious) -- and I should credit Dymytry for the suggestion upthread:1. Place the ENTIRE apparatus in a thermally shielded, electrically shielded hermetic enclosure. Doesn't need to be a vacuum, doesn't need to be anything fancy. A few hours in a machine shop with some aluminum plate is all you need for this. Mu-metal (to screen magnetic fields) would be best, though, with perhaps some polystyrene insulation on the outside. This would include a battery powered RF amplifier. Doesn't need to be anything fancy -- switch it on with a timer after you seal up, for example.2. Hang the entire apparatus on a Cavendish-style torsion balance. IF it moves:3. Replicate the experiment with a 50 ohm load instead of a cavity.IF it moves:4. Replicate the experiment with cavities made of different metal, or filled with dielectric... this should reduce the e-field (lower the Q) and show less thrust.Then I will be much more convinced that something interesting is going on.
Go back and read the entire thread, you'll find they already did most of what you suggested. Their Rig has been tested and has not been falsified.There is another explanation that has been around for many decades, it is that variations in the gravitational field are indistinguishable from variations in the refractive index of the vacuum. When you refer to the Lorentz invariance of Maxwell's equations, this does not hold in a vacuum where epsilon0 and mu0 are variables. In General Relativity we refer to the metric components, g^uv. These can and are interpreted as components of a variable refractive index, in the Polarizable Vacuum Model. Primarily refined by Hal Puthoff, a few papers of my own and many others have contributed to it. There are many, many papers on this available. In this case, the interior energy density is not symmetrical, so the refractive index has a gradient. It was said in a previous post that the speed of light inside is different than it is outside. This is the correct interpretation, however it must include a gradient in the refractive index, as it passes through the structure itself, to cause motion. The gradient in the refractive index "is" a gravitational field. That is what the warp drive requires. In a separate experiment, they may have shown that the speed of light inside the chamber varies. The amount is varies would only be noticed "IF" you were looking for it. Most resonant systems are "tuned" to eliminate such affects in manufacturing. In such a small cavity, I'm not confident it can be measured.

Could it all just be due to poor experimental method?Granted. But perhaps maybe its been dragged on for 15 years because no one would take it seriously. Consider how sad it would be if that were the case. This is certainly the first I've heard of it.Eagleworks isn't full of crackpots. If they discover it was experimental error then that will be the end of it. Hand waving this away because you do not agree with their observations wont kill it, but the science they're doing now will.

So with accurate, well thought out measurements, an unambiguous result could be produced. Then would be the time to determine what is causing it.
Quote from: Mulletron on 04/30/2015 08:05 pmIt is clear that we are operating under other than usual symmetry conditions and that Maxwell's equations as we were trained to use them do not apply.What are you talking about? Maxwell's equations apply to EM radiation unequivocally. Especially in these low power regimes there is no chance of observing any perturbations due to higher order effects from field theory.Look, I want to believe in a "reactionless" drive as much as the next SF junkie, but this does not pass the smell test. Consider:e0. The proposed explanations violate: conservation of energy, conservation of momentum, and the Lorentz transformations. These are some of the best-tested physical arguments we have today, and yet this "drive" violates them by huge orders of magnitude. Is it really plausible that 100+ years of experiments have failed to notice a comparatively huge effect? RF cavities are not a poorly understood system. I used to work with superconducting RF cavities for particle accelerators with Q > 1 million supporting fields of > 10 MV/m. I can guarantee you we would have noticed if power was disappearing into "thrust", or if the damn things were starting to levitate. 1. Even if we are pushing against the "quantum vacuum" this does not make sense, as any such vacuumo must be charge neutral and so we would be pushing in opposite directions on electrons and positrons. Not to mention the accelerated positrons would smash into the surrounding cavity, producing copious, easily-observable gamma rays.1a. Even ignoring this objection, to promote particles from "virtual" to real (as in Hawking radiation...) you have to provide the particles with their mass-energy. 511 keV per electron/positron. Does this make sense?Assume 100% of the energy delivered to the cavity goes into making virtual particles real: 100 W / (mass of electron * c^2) = 1e15 electrons / s. Assume the particles are instantaneously acclerated to the speed of light (a pretty generous assumption). Then F = (1e15 electron/s)*(mass of electron)*(speed of light) = 2e-7 newtons. Much smaller than what we observe. The explanation does not hold up to scrutiny.2. The "quantum vacuum"/Casimir effect should not be given more emphasis than is appropriate. It is a calculational tool. For example, one can explain the casimir effect solely through the van der Waals forces between two neighboring conductors, without handwaving explanations about virtual particles: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/11544/vander-waals-and-casimir-forces3. The quantum vacuum publication referenced earlier is really, really bad. It starts with the Bohr formula for hydrogen (thus neglecting any fine structure, etc... effects), and takes a "radius" (which as we know from QM should not be interpreted literally...) to get a volume and from that some kind of density. This has no physical meaning. Then a function 1/r^4 is fitted to the values -- with no justification! This is then compared to the casimir force for cavities separated by this radius... and the values are pretty far off. But it looks like a factor of 1/3! So some further handwaving about general relativity which also has a factor of 1/3 in one equation! Then there's a whole word salad about solving hydrogen atom wavefunctions with COMSOL [], which is ridiculous since any undergraduate physics students can solve them with pen and paper... This papers seems explicitly designed to use lots of fancy terminology and equations to look impressive to anyone with no background in physics, while saying nothing at all of substance. It does not even rise to the level of coherence.In conclusion, this whole affair appears to be the work of someone who has convinced himself his theory is right and is on a fishing expedition for evidence that supports it. The experimental design is poor (camera pictures of LabView windows? unable to find an RF amplifier to deliver more than 100W of power? inability to measure forces that would be measurable in the 1800's?), the past 100+ years of physical experiments contradict the experiments, and there is no coherent underlying theory.This is not science, it is cargo cult science.
It is clear that we are operating under other than usual symmetry conditions and that Maxwell's equations as we were trained to use them do not apply.

Angara Abello Concepcion Regala & Cruz Law Offices ACCRALAW
From simple and daily requirements to sophisticated and complex matters, ACCRALAW renders legal advice to clients. The Firm's clients benefit from the different practice departments in getting a legal, holistic and creative solution to its concerns. The Firm's lawyers are involved in different professional and industry organizations that bolster their specialization in different practice areas.
Offering timely, creative and strategic legal solutions matched with cost-efficient administration and expert handling of clients' requirements.
Seven practice departments are servicing ACCRALAW's local and international clientele which represents the full spectrum of business and industry, offering timely, creative and strategic legal solutions matched with cost-efficient administration and expert handling of clients' requirements.
The practice groups are a fusion of experienced legal minds – professionals who are knowledgeable and well-rounded in all aspects of Philippine law and well-versed in the dynamics of the industries and sectors in which clients operate.
ACCRALAW was founded in 1972, out of the shared vision of its five founding partners to establish an institutional law firm based on the highest standards of legal competence.
The Firm was initially conceived by Edgardo J. Angara and Manuel G. Abello+, who had known each other since their student days at the University of the Philippines (UP) College of Law. In a landscape then dominated by larger and more established firms primarily designed to serve multinational corporations, Angara and Abello saw an emerging and dynamic generation of local enterprises and individuals whose legal requirements were not being prioritized and adequately addressed. They saw this as an opportunity to establish a law firm which would focus on this new group and provide exceptional legal advice and expertise.
Teodoro D. Regala and Jose C. Concepcion, former classmates at the University of the Philippines College of Law, soon joined Angara and Abello and with the arrival of Avelino V. Cruz, Angara's classmate at the University of Michigan Law School and an alumnus of the San Beda College of Law, the Firm's founding partners were complete.
ACCRA believes that in addition to providing excellent legal services to its clients, it also has a corporate social responsibility to fulfill in the different institutions and communities it operates.
The Firm renders pro bono work for indigent clients in coordination with the Integrated Bar of the Philippines.
To hone the skills and develop the expertise of its lawyers, ACCRALAW, through the ACCRALAW Foundation, Inc. and ACCRALAW Scholarship Foundation, Inc., has awarded scholarship grants to its lawyers to pursue post-graduate legal studies in prominent universities abroad. To date, a significant number of its lawyers have pursued their Master of Laws from Harvard University, Columbia University, University of Michigan and Cornell University in the United States and Cambridge University and Queen Mary, University of London in the United Kingdom through the generous financial grant from the Firm's Foundation.
In March 2010, ACCRALAW relocated its Head Office from Makati City to Taguig City, in the modern, premier business district of Bonifacio Global City. The Head Office at ACCRALAW Tower provides unparalleled full service practice with primary concentrations on business, labor, litigation, tax and intellectual property as well as other non-business related practices such as electoral, constitutional and family law.
