North Dakota State had two players recognized as national performers of the week by the College Football Performance Awards on Sunday, Oct. 13.
NDSU junior Zach Vraa was named FCS National Wide Receiver of the Week after catching five passes for a career-high 179 yards and two touchdowns in North Dakota State's 41-26 homecoming win over Missouri State. He caught TD passes of 36 and 23 yards and had two other catches go for 56 and 52 yards.
Bison senior Ryan Smith was named FCS National Punt Returner of the Week. Smith, the Missouri Valley Football Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, turned his first punt return of the year into an 85-yard touchdown to give the Bison a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. He is the Division I active leader with three career punt return TDs. Smith, a senior from Wahpeton, N.D., was North Dakota State's second-leading runner with 142 all-purpose yards in the 41-26 homecoming win over Missouri State, which gave NDSU its conference-record 15th straight victory.
North Dakota State (6-0, 3-0 MVFC) is scheduled to play Southern Illinois at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at Saluki Stadium in Carbondale, Ill. The Salukis are 4-3 overall and 2-1 in the MVFC after their 24-17 overtime win at Northern Iowa.

30 days of holiday shopping tips
Tip 1: Shop for Home Goods on Black Friday
Some of the best household products (including big-ticket purchases like dishwashers and HDTVs) get big discounts the day after Thanksgiving. This is the perfect time to replace tattered essentials before the holiday guests arrive. Check out the Good Housekeeping Research Institute's picks for towels, comforters, coffeemakers, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, and even washer and dryer sets.
Tip 2: Snag a Cheap Camera on Black Friday
Tired of snapping photos on your phone? Black Friday sales offer a great excuse to upgrade to a digital camera. When shopping, don't obsess over megapixel counts; instead, look for a camera with good low-light sensitivity and optical image stabilization. The GHRI likes the Canon Rebel T3i ($614, amazon.com).
Tip 3: Make a Holiday Budget (and Stick to It)
Determine your holiday budget and don't forget to factor in the cost of decorations, travel, party essentials, and, of course, gifts. Make a list of everyone who's getting a present from you this year and assign each person a dollar amount (more for the nice ones and less for the naughty ones). Helpful tip: Use Manilla.com (or one of its highly rated apps) to track holiday spending. Manilla will also remind you when bills are due or when daily deals and travel rewards are about to expire, so not a dollar goes wasted.
Tip 4: Support Small Businesses
Support independent storeowners and hit up local shops in your community on Nov. 24. Last year, more than 100 million people visited a small business on the Saturday between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. To find independent shops near you, visit SmallBusinessSaturday.com.
Tip 5: Get More on Cyber Monday
Still looking for a good deal? Check out CyberMonday.com for coupons, free shipping, and free gifts for more than 700 online retailers. Remember to read the return policy before finalizing your purchase. And look for the "https" in your browser -- the "s" means your transaction is secure.
Tip 6: Take Advantage of Layaway Plans
Layaway is back! Consider this option if you aren't ready to pay in full and don't want to charge your credit card. Here's how it typically works: First, you make a down payment that ranges from 10 to 20 percent of the total cost of the item. You also pay a non-refundable service fee, usually $5. Then you agree to an installment plan and a deadline (30 to 90 days away) by which you'll pay for your gift in full before picking it up. Retailers such as Wal-Mart, Toys "R" Us, and T.J. Maxx offer layaway plans for popular in-store purchases such as toys, electronics, small appliances, and jewelry.
Tip 7: Always Pay the Lowest Price
You'll never have to wonder if you overpaid with the Amazon Price Check app (available on iOS and Andriod). This free app lets you compare prices among brick and mortar stores as well as online retailers. Just type in the product name, scan the barcode, or snap a photo to start searching. See more of our favorite free shopping and deal apps.
Tip 8: Explore a Holiday Market
Sip some hot cider while you meander through the stalls at your local Christmas market. Many cities host makeshift shopping villages where you can search for unique, handmade gifts that support local artisans.
Tip 9: Give an Experiential Present
Consider treating a friend to an experience the two of you can enjoy together. Sites like Groupon, Living Social, and Google Offers sell gift certificates and activity vouchers, often discounted 50 percent or more, to local venues. Plan a spa day, take a fitness class, try a new restaurant, or see a live performance with a friend. The coupons are typically valid for a few months after the purchase date, so there's no rush to cram another event into a busy holiday schedule.
Tip 10: Redeem Credit Card Points
If you've racked up your fair share of credit card points, now could be a great time to redeem them. Most rewards programs offer discounted gift cards and merchandise ranging from fashion to food and wine. Chase Freedom, for instance, prices gift cards at 10 to 20 percent off the face value while American Express lists "sale" items such as jewelry and electronics at a 10 percent discount.

Citigroup to Slash 11,000 Jobs: Analysis
Shas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Financial giant Citigroup (NYSE: C) on Wednesday announced that it will slash 11,000 jobs. The move to reduce workforce comes just two months after Michael Corbat became the CEO of Citigroup, following the departure of Vikram Pandit. The move was applauded by investors as Citigroup shares rallied more than 6% on Wednesday.
Focus on Reducing Expenses and Improving Efficiency
Citigroup announced a number of measures that will further reduce expenses and improve efficiency across the company.
CEO Michael Corbat said, "These actions are logical next steps in Citi's transformation. While we are committed to – and our strategy continues to leverage – our unparalleled global network and footprint, we have identified areas and products where our scale does not provide for meaningful returns. And we will further increase our operating efficiency by reducing excess capacity and expenses, whether they center on technology, real estate or simplifying our operations."
Job Cuts Across the Board
Citigroup is trimming its workforce across all of its business units. The company's Institutional Clients Group (ICG) will see a reduction of approximately 1,900 jobs. More than half of the job cuts in the ICG business will be made in the Operations and Technology functions.
Citigroup will slash 6,200 jobs in the Global Consumer Banking business. Nearly 40% of the job cuts in the division will be made in the Operations & Technology functions.
Citi Holdings, which holds the bank's bad assets, will see a reduction of 350 positions, while Corporate/Other business will see a reduction of 2,300 jobs.
Citigroup expects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012 and approximately $100 million of related charges in the first half of 2013. Nearly a quarter of fourth-quarter repositioning charges will be incurred by Securities & Banking and 10% by Transaction Services. Both are part of the ICG division. The Global Consumer Banking division will incur 35% of the fourth-quarter repositioning charges.
Citigroup expects $900 million of expense savings in its 2013 results as a result of the restructuring. Beginning in 2014, Citigroup expects annual expense savings to exceed $1.1 billion annually.
Citi Not Alone in Job Cuts
Citigroup is not the only major U.S. bank to announce job cuts. Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) have also announced workforce reduction.
Bank of America had announced last year that it would eliminate 30,000 jobs under its Project New BAC program. At the time of the release of its third-quarter results, Bank of America said that it has slashed 16,145 jobs since Sept. 30, 2011.
The workforce reduction is not restricted to U.S. banks. A number of major European banks have also announced layoffs. Swiss banking giant UBS (NYSE: UBS) announced in October this year that it will reduce its workforce to 54,000 from 64,000 by 2015. The bank also announced other measures that will reduce its costs significantly while driving further efficiencies across the group more rapidly.
The banking industry is undergoing a major transformation post the 2008/2009 financial crisis. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, financial firms across the globe have announced over 300,000 job cuts since the start of 2011. The job cuts reflect the difficult environment these firms are operating in. While a weak macroeconomic environment has hurt revenue, banks are also facing stricter regulations and capital rules. Given these factors, the job cuts may continue next year.
Implications for Citigroup
Prior to the financial crisis, Citigroup and other major banks said that the universal banking model was the future of the industry. However, it was the big banks like Citigroup that suffered the most during the financial crisis. In fact, Citigroup was on the verge of collapse before it was bailed out.
Since the crisis, Citigroup and other major banks, including Bank of America, have been focused on streamlining their operations to become leaner and more efficient. The job cuts announced by Citigroup are probably just a start. If the macro environment remains weak then more job cuts can be expected at Citi and other banks.
Citigroup shares surged more than 6% as investors applauded the company's plan to reduce workforce. Citi shares are currently trading at a P/E ratio (ttm) of 15.44, which is above the industry average of 10.83.
Year-to-date, Citi shares have gained nearly 40%.

Police: Woman crashes into school busMarch 19,2013Police: Woman hits school bus
A New York State woman is in fair condition after police said she rear-ended a loaded school bus Monday morning.
Shortly before 9 a.m., Darlene Erwin, 68, of Bomoseen, was driving a school bus with 15 Fair Haven Union High School students when she stopped for flashing red lights at a railroad crossing while traveling east on Route 4, according to police. Paulette Sheldon was also driving east in a 2010 Toyota Yaris when she crashed into the stopped bus, police said.
Neither the students nor the bus driver were injured, but Sheldon was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center, where she was listed in fair condition.

Summer Urgency
Pro Quarterback Philip Rivers
Issues Special Challenge
Why He's Helping at This Difficult Time
Dear friend of Catholic Answers:
I want to start by saying that I'm very grateful to Philip Rivers, the nationally known quarterback based here in San Diego.
If you're a football fan, you already know who he is. He's won numerous awards, including athlete of the year and quarterback of the year, as well as racking up a list of impressive statistics and providing hours of thrills and excitement for sports fans.
What you may not know is that Philip and his wife Tiffany have been good friends to Catholic Answers. They are devout Catholics, they have six children, and they have been kind enough to lend their names to various Catholic Answers projects over the years.
Most recently they have issued a special challenge on behalf of Catholic Answers. I'll tell you about that in a moment, but first I need to explain the reason behind the challenge.
Catholic Answers Has Just Taken a Big Hit
This was not unexpected; It happens every summer. You see, like other non-profit organizations, we face a challenge when people go on vacation and have their schedules disrupted.
They aren't home, or they are home but they're focusing on summertime activities, and they aren't supporting charities the way that they do during the rest of the year.
It's entirely understandable, but it means Catholic Answers has a summer slump, financially.
It's a measurable phenomenon; every year the support that we receive from donors goes down in the summer by around $100,000 per month.
Over three months, we take a $300,000 hit.
Each year we know that the slump is coming, and we plan for it. But by the time it's over we really need your assistance. [click here to donate.]
We also know that we receive our best support at the end of the year, when people are being especially generous for the Christmas season. But there's that gap of a few months in between, and during those months we find ourselves hard pressed.
Despite the Slump, It's Full Steam Ahead
It's a busy time at Catholic Answers, and there is certainly a lot of work to do!
- Catholic Answers Live is being heard on more than 200 radio stations around America, as well as on shortwave, satellite radio, and the Internet.
- Catholic Answers Magazine is growing by leaps and bounds—one of the few Catholic magazines (and one of the few magazines period) that is gaining rather than losing subscribers these days.
- Catholic.com is changing lives around the country and around the world as people log on to receive any of the tens of thousands of free resources that Catholic Answers staffers have been generating and putting online to help build people's faith.
- Catholic Answers Forums, in particular, receive more than 1,000,000 visits a month and help the hundreds of thousands of members who have joined to connect with other Catholics online and have their faith lives enriched.
- Catholic Answers Chastity Outreach has rising stars like Matt Fradd and Leah Darrow helping tens of thousands of young people across the country as they struggle with temptations against chastity and the faith.
- Catholic Answers Seminars are held throughout America, and elsewhere, with dynamic speakers such as Tim Staples energizing crowds far and wide with the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ.
- Catholic Answers Q&A Department is responding to thousands of people eager to get their most pressing questions answered. Often these questions come at moments of spiritual or intellectual crisis, and our apologists are always there to help.
With all that Catholic Answers is doing, it makes me proud of our staff.
It also brings to mind our Lord's saying:
"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest" (Matt. 9:37-38).
There is so much that Catholic Answers is doing—and can do—but it requires the help of many people, particularly at this difficult time of the year, when we've just suffered our biggest hit.
That's why I'm especially grateful that Philip Rivers has stepped forward to help Catholic Answers right now.
The Philip Rivers Challenge
Philip and Tiffany see the value in the work that Catholic Answers does, and they've made a special and generous donation to the ministry to help it "bridge the gap" until our income rebounds later in the year.
Philip has asked us not to reveal the extent of his generosity. Rather, he wants you to join him in seeing us through this difficult time.
That's why he's inviting you and other Catholics to help as well.
Philip has done his part to help out in the current situation, and he'd like to issue a friendly challenge to those who see the value in the work that Catholic Answers does. He challenges everyone to do their part and help out now that the summer has done its worst.
Will you join him in helping Catholic Answers do all its work, even in these stressful months before the giving season picks up? [click here to donate.]
Rising to the Challenge?
I hope that you will help us with a special donation to keep going strong until the end of the year.
It's a matter of getting from here to there, of making ends meet during those few months.
Without generous donations from people like you, Catholic Answers would grind to a halt.
Please make a donation at this time to help Catholic Answers keep doing its work, and be as generous as you can.
If you have been financially blessed, perhaps you could give $1,000 . . . or $500 . . . or $250.
Maybe you could give $100 . . . or $75 . . . or $40.
I'd like to thank you in advance for your generosity toward the work of Catholic Answers and its work.
May I hear from you today? [click here to donate.]
Karl Keating
President, Catholic Answers
P.S. I hope you'll be able to join Philip and Tiffany Rivers in meeting the challenge to keep Catholic Answers going full-steam ahead in the wake of the $300,000 summer slump. Thank you for your support!

Isn't this around the time iOS 7 should be announced?
Asked by
Excethe for the original iPhone release, major iOS announcements were done at the WWDC around June with a final release in September. I this related to the fact that major releases comes with both new features, usability updates and new APIs. The latter is the one requiring developers lengthy beta phase for testing Apple's new stuff. I wish Apple could separate releases this way: updated features with no API changes releases and augmented APIs releases. New APIs could be introduced at a much lower pace as iOS is a pretty much mature operating system.

Infiniti G35718 WHP645 LB-FT Of TorqueFeature White GoldA Wicked White
Like most of the heavily tuned cars featured in this magazine, building this G35 coupe was quite a labor of love. Owner Michael Wong of Champaign, Ill., devoted the past few years of his life to turning a mild-mannered '05 Infiniti into this monster. Currently capable of belting out 850 hp and holding an award for Hottest Wild Infiniti at the '07 Chicago Hot Import Nights show, this coupe is anything but mild-mannered.
Michael's original plan for simple bolt-on modifications and some extra naturally aspirated power soon proved tiring and financially inefficient, so he decided to up the ante and consider some forced-induction options. He quickly honed in on a system that featured a single Turbonetics 60-1 Hi-Fi turbo and made plans to install it.
Once it was up and running, the turbo setup proved simple and effective. It provided a nice jump to 350 hp and a good helping of extra torque. Immediately, he became addicted to the rise in power and wanted to push the car further. In fact, he decided that he needed to have the first G35 with four-digit horsepower. There were, however, a few things he needed to do before achieving a power gain of that magnitude, so he put those plans on the back burner.
For the time being, Michael was satisfied with his newfound power and chose to show some love to the rest of the car. The first order of business was getting the car to stop with a touch more authority, so on went AP Racing big brake kit. With six-piston front calipers and four-piston rears squeezing 14-inch rotors, this brake package was just the ticket. With this squared away, he turned his attention to the appearance of his ride.
Originally, Michael started with a Top Secret front bumper and some 19-inch Volk GT-V wheels wrapped with wider, lower-profile Toyo T1-R tires. As for the body itself, Auto Werks came to the rescue and suggested a white and gold color scheme. A custom white and gold pearl paint color was chosen and applied, and Kenstyle side skirts and rear bumper were fitted, also sporting the gold accents. The door handles were shaved smooth, and a custom carbon-fiber roof was fitted. Finally, the wheels were powdercoated gold to match the accents, and the brake calipers were changed to black with gold lettering. After a month at the Auto Werks body shop, the stunning G35 rolled out looking incredible and ready to turn heads. After enjoying the car for a few months, he returned it to Auto Werks to have the interior spiffed-up and give the car some flash underhood. The gold accents made their way throughout the engine bay, while the interior received a treatment of both black and white Alcantara.
This layout was good enough for Michael to take home the Hottest Wild Infiniti award at Hot Import Nights. Not a bad first experience for an auto show entry, but Michael decided if he was heading down this road, he'd better make sure to pull out all the stops and do it right. This meant rebuilding the motor from the ground up and shooting for his earlier high-horsepower target. Now it was time to build the monster motor.
After a referral from Auto Werks, Michael got in touch with Greg and Hal at Injected Performance, and they sorted out his performance needs. The Infiniti needed to be usable on pump gas, and Michael hadn't forgotten his dream of 1,000-plus hp. Starting with the block, Injected Performance implemented a 4.15L stroker kit from Brian Crower, which consists of rods, bolts, and crankshaft, while the pistons and rings were supplied by CP Pistons. Injected Performance then went to town on the head and performed their Stage 3 modifications-a full port, polish, and five-angle valve job. Brian Crower stepped up to bat again with their valvetrain and provided their Stage 2 (264mm) camshafts, along with valves, springs, and retainers.

Registration now under way for the 2005 Creating Change Conference
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
Registration now under way for the 2005 Creating Change Conference, the country's preeminent lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender organizing conference
LGBT activists are encouraged to register now to take advantage of the early bird rate for this massive skills-building conference featuring the movement's best and brightest; early bird registration rate is available until Aug. 31
WASHINGTON, July 20 — Registration is now under way for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's 18th Annual Creating Change Conference, which will be held in Oakland, Calif., Nov. 9–13, 2005. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activists and allies are encouraged to attend. Early bird registration rate is available until Aug. 31. Attendees 16/under and 65/over will be admitted without charge. The registration form is available at www.creatingchange.org.
The Creating Change Conference, sponsored and hosted by the Task Force, is the LGBT rights movement's annual skills-building conference attracting thousands of activist leaders from across the nation. The program educates, challenges and supports LGBT activists and has a special focus on assisting community organizations to build a more racially representative movement. Creating Change returns to Oakland after the success of the 1999 Creating Change Conference, which drew the largest attendance to date.
The 2005 schedule boasts six accomplished plenary speakers: Loraine Hutchins, an author and activist who put the "B" into LGBT; Juba Kalamka (a k a Pointfivefag), a founding member of the "homohop" group Deep Dickollective; John D'Emilio, an award-winning author, professor and founding director of the Task Force Policy Institute; Urvashi Vaid, an attorney, writer and activist who is a former executive director of the Task Force, as well as the incoming executive director of the Arcus Foundation; Helen Zia, a longtime activist and author whose work on a groundbreaking case of anti-Asian violence was featured in an Academy Award-nominated film, Who Killed Vincent Chin?; and Mary Kay Henry, the executive vice president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and a founding member of SEIU's Lavender Caucus.
In addition, the conference program is full of challenging and rigorous sessions, panel discussions, roundtables, film screenings, caucuses and networking sessions that deliver the skills needed for activist leaders to create change in their communities. For details, visit www.creatingchange.org.
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

(Medicamentos de control)
Many people with asthma need to take medication every day to control their asthma and prevent symptoms from developing. These are called controller medications (also called preventive or maintenance medications). Most work by reducing inflammation of the airways; others work by relaxing the airways and making them wider. Controller medications are slow acting, meaning that they can take days or even weeks to begin working. They don't provide immediate relief of symptoms and shouldn't be used when an effect is needed quickly. This requires faster-acting medications (known as rescue medications) that can work on the spot.

Kimball Natural History Museum
The exhibits of the Kimball Natural History Museum address two of the most significant and closely-intertwined scientific issues of our time: The evolution of life on Earth and the maintenance of life on Earth. The exhibits draw heavily from the Academy's 150-plus years of research, its 45.6 million specimens, and the expertise of its many world-class scientists and affiliates.
Prepare to be moved! Delve into the science behind earthquakes and learn how societies prepare for and respond to these destructive phenomena. Experience a high-magnitude jolt in our earthquake simulator, fly over and into our dynamic planet in an immersive planetarium show, and explore the impacts of the largest disaster in San Francisco's history—the 1906 earthquake and fire. Along the way, you'll see how earthquakes fit into the larger story of plate tectonics, a constant process that builds mountains, moves continents, and creates the landscape in which life evolves or goes extinct.
Tusher African Hall
Take a virtual safari through Africa by exploring majestic dioramas of African landscapes. Lions and cheetahs face off with zebras and antelope through the glass windows of their detailed displays, and a lowland gorilla invites you to ponder your ancestry.
Trace the milestones of our species' fascinating history in Human Odyssey. Compare fossils of early human relatives, walk alongside a computer animation of the famous "Lucy" skeleton, map our species' extensive journey across the world, and follow the clues that scientists use to investigate our past.
Look closely as you wander through the hall—the dioramas contain a few surprises too: live tortoises, lizards, and fish occupy some of the smaller displays, and a colony of African Penguins dip and dive in a 25,000-gallon tank at the end of the hall.
Islands of Evolution
This exhibit explores the remote islands of Madagascar and the Galapagos through the eyes of Academy scientists.
Examine specimens collected during past expeditions, such as Galapagos tortoise shells and Darwin's famous finches; use Wii gaming wands to collect virtual insects; and learn how islands function as living laboratories for evolution.
Science in Action: Beyond the Headlines
This interactive exhibit allows visitors to go beyond the headlines and gain in-depth information about recent scientific discoveries around the world.
Live talks by Academy scientists, multimedia displays, computer stations, and podcasts provide a reliable source of timely and relevant news about the natural world.
Foucault Pendulum
A returning favorite from the original Academy, the Foucault pendulum provides simple and elegant proof of the Earth's rotation.
Suspended from the ceiling next to Morrison Planetarium, it consists of a 235-pound brass ball attached to a 30-foot-long steel aircraft cable. The plane of the pendulum's swing appears to rotate 220 degrees every day. Since no rotational forces act on the pendulum, it must be the Earth beneath that is actually rotating.
Other Highlights
Purchase Online
Natural history exhibits and venues can be found in various places throughout the Academy.
The Naturalist Center
Have a question about the natural world? The reference librarians and educators at the Naturalist Center can help. Visitors can bring in items for identification, research green technologies, and sign up for seminars. Learn more
Early Explorers Cove
This early childhood education center caters to infants, preschoolers, and their caregivers. Tots can explore a 15-foot replica of an Academy schooner, climb into a tree-house, tend an organic garden, and more!

Trade/other name(s): Afinitor®, Afinitor® Disperz
Why would this drug be used?
This drug is used to treat advanced kidney cancer, advanced breast cancer, a rare type of brain tumor (subependymal giant cell astrocytoma), and a rare type of pancreatic cancer (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor). It may also be used for other conditions, and it is being studied for use in treating a number of other cancers.
How does this drug work?
Everolimus is a type of targeted therapy that blocks mTOR, a protein in cells that normally promotes their growth and division. By blocking this protein, everolimus can help stop cancer cells from growing. Everolimus may also stop tumors from developing new blood vessels, which would help limit their growth.
Before taking this medicine
Tell your doctor…
- If you are allergic to anything, including medicines, dyes, additives, or foods.
- If you have diabetes. Everolimus may raise blood sugar levels. You and your doctor will want to watch this closely during treatment.
- If you have any type of liver disease (including hepatitis). This drug is cleared from the body mainly by the liver. Reduced liver function might result in more of the drug staying in the body than expected, which could lead to unwanted side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose accordingly. This drug should not be used in people with severe liver problems.
- If you have ever had high cholesterol. Everolimus may raise blood levels of cholesterol.
- If you have any type of kidney disease. Everolimus may affect the kidneys. Your doctor will probably want to monitor this closely during treatment.
- If you have any other medical conditions such as heart disease, gout, or infections. These conditions may require that your medicine dose, regimen, or timing be changed.
- If you have recently had or are scheduled to have surgery. Everolimus may delay the time it takes for wounds to heal or cause healing wounds to re-open.
- If you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or if there is any chance of pregnancy. This drug can cause problems with the fetus if taken at the time of conception or during pregnancy. Check with your doctor about what kinds of birth control can be used with this medicine. In pregnant women, treatment with this drug should be used only if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus.
- If you are breast-feeding. It is not known if this drug can pass into breast milk and affect the baby. Breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment with this drug.
- If you think you might want to have children in the future. This drug may affect fertility. Talk with your doctor about the possible risk with this drug and the options that may preserve your ability to have children.
- About any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines you are taking, including vitamins and herbs. In fact, keeping a written list of each of these medicines (including the doses of each and when you take them) with you in case of emergency may help prevent complications if you get sick.
Interactions with other drugs
This drug can interact with a number of drugs and supplements. Some cause the drug to build up in your blood, and can worsen side effects and other problems:
- Anti-depressant drugs nefazodone (Serzone), fluvoxamine (Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac, Serafem)
- Antibiotics erythromycin, clarithromycin (Biaxin), telithromycin (Ketek), and similar drugs
- Anti-fungal antibiotics such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), and voriconazole (Vfend)
- The anti-nausea drug aprepitant (Emend)
- Certain blood pressure medicines, like diltiazem (Cardizem) and verapamil (Calan)
- HIV drugs such as indinavir, ritonavir, fosamprenavir, nelfinavir, atazanavir, and others
- St. John's wort (herbal dietary supplement)
Other drugs may lessen the actions of everolimus so that it doesn't work as well:
- Anti-seizure drugs carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenobarbital, and phenytoin (Dilantin)
- TB drugs rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane) and rifabutin (Mycobutin)
- Steroid drugs such as dexamethasone (Decadron)
Don't start or stop taking any drugs while you are taking everolimus without talking with your doctor first. Your dose of everolimus may need to be adjusted before or after the change.
Any drugs or supplements that interfere with blood clotting can raise the risk of bleeding during treatment with everolimus. These include:
- Vitamin E
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), and many others
- Warfarin (Coumadin)
- Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
- Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Note that many cold, flu, fever, and headache remedies contain aspirin or ibuprofen. Ask your pharmacist if you aren't sure what's in the medicines you take.
Check with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist about any other medicines, herbs, and supplements you are taking, and ask if alcohol can cause problems with this medicine.
Interactions with foods
Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice without checking with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist first. These foods may change the level of everolimus in your blood.
Tell all the doctors, dentists, nurses, and pharmacists you visit that you are taking this drug.
How is this drug taken or given?
Everolimus (as Afinitor) is a tablet taken once a day at about the same time each day. It may be taken with or without food. Use scissors to open the blister package when you are ready to take your dose. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablets. If any pills are broken, do not take them.
For patients who cannot swallow tablets whole, tablets (as Afinitor Disperz) can be stirred into a small amount of water. Be sure to follow the instructions you are given if taking the tablets this way.
In some cases (such as if you have low blood cell counts), the dose may need to be changed or the drug not given for a time.
Take this drug exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand the instructions, ask your doctor or nurse to explain them to you. Keep the medicine in its original package, out of the reach of children, pets, and others.
This drug may interact with a number of other drugs or supplements (see section "Interactions with drugs"). Be sure your doctor knows all the drugs and supplements you are taking. Do not start or stop taking any drug without checking with your doctor.
This drug can cause allergic reactions in some people when it is given. Serious reactions are rare but can be dangerous. Symptoms can include feeling lightheaded or dizzy (due to low blood pressure), chest tightness or pain, trouble breathing or swallowing, flushing, back pain, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you notice any of these symptoms after taking the drug.
Some people may develop lung disease (pneumonitis) during treatment with this drug, which in some cases may be severe. Tell your doctor right away if you notice any possible symptoms of lung problems, such as wheezing, pain in the chest, shortness of breath, or a new or worsening cough.
This drug may cause pain or sores in the mouth or on the lips. This can sometimes lead to bleeding, fungus infections, or trouble eating. Your doctor or nurse can suggest ways to reduce this, such as changing the way you eat or how you brush your teeth. If needed, your doctor can prescribe medicine to help with the pain. Don't use mouthwashes that contain alcohol or peroxide, as they may make this worse.
This drug may affect your body's ability to heal wounds. Be sure your doctor knows if you have had surgery within the past few weeks or are scheduled for any surgery in the near future.
Your doctor will probably test your blood throughout your treatment, looking for possible effects of the drug on blood counts or on blood chemistry levels. Based on the test results, you may be given medicines to help treat any effects. Your doctor may also need to reduce or delay your next dose of this drug, or even stop it altogether. Keep all your appointments for lab tests and doctor visits.
This drug may lower your white blood cell counts, which can increase your chance of getting an infection. Be sure to let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have any signs of infection, such as fever (100.5° or higher), chills, pain when passing urine, new onset of cough, or bringing up sputum (phlegm).
This drug may lower your platelet count in the weeks after it is given, which can increase your risk of bleeding. Speak with your doctor before taking any drugs or supplements that might affect your body's ability to stop bleeding, such as aspirin or aspirin-containing medicines, warfarin (Coumadin), or vitamin E. Tell your doctor right away if you have unusual bruising, or bleeding such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums when you brush your teeth, or black, tarry stools.
Do not get any immunizations (vaccines), either during or after treatment with this drug, without your doctor's OK. Everolimus may affect your immune system.

First home game for Evergreen close, but a loss
September 1 , 200
Olympia, WA - In a non-NAIA matchup with traveling Thompson Rivers University of Canada, Evergreen was first on the scoreboard.
Junior Kate Green scored her first goal of the season six minutes into the game. Green would be unable to finish the game following an injury 20 minutes later.
The Wolf Pack answered the Geoducks with an unassisted goal by Kerry Hill. Hill was intent on completing a hat trick, scoring the winning shot in the 59th minute and nearly finding net again 4 minutes later. A possible third point for Hill was stopped by ESC keeper Sonya Daisley-Harrison who had 3 saves in the game.
Tomorrow Evergreen hosts Pacific Lutheran University in another non-NAIA game at 3:00 PM

"This invite (sample) surpassed my expectations. High quality paper, lovely illustration…. I will be ordering these for my daughters baby shower in November."
"Absolutely perfect and it thrilled the Mom and Dad to be, to see their baby's name in print, for the first time!! The personlized attention that I received over the phone was very patient and attentive throughout the entire decision-making and order-taking process! The delivery time was quick and efficient as I really waited until the last minute to order my invitations. I was able to get them in the mail on time and everyone has received them within two weeks of the shower~ thanks to you all!!"
"I love this invitation. My only recomemdation would be to get a colored envelope. Since the invitation is white and very simple in design, a soft colored envelope would make it stand out a little more."
"Love these cards. They came out even nicer than expected! Love that you can customize your messaging and make the invitations very personal. Highly recommend!"
"Beautiful card and design! Turned out exactly as expected. The only thing I would alter about the design is to allow slightly more free room at the bottom for additional info. There was barely any room to squeeze in the registry stores along with all the other pertinent event info. But it still turned out beautifully and we love it!"

Live Q&A at 3:00PM Eastern: Why do the choices we make about the seafood we eat play a part in a complex and interconnected ecosystem?
In her new TED Book, The Whole Fish, author and food writer Maria Finn will discuss her recent journey into the 'whole food' cooking movement, one that advocates eating the entire fish from gill to adipose fin. It's an approach that can not only improve your heath, happiness, and sex life, but also help save the complex ecosystem that supports the ocean.
The Whole Fish includes seafood recipes from some of the best chefs in the business; get ready for fish head soup, broiled collars, brined eggs, relish from the fatty bellies, baked skins for "fish bacon," dried bones for grinding into "salt."

Jan 3 2013: Overfishing is my greatest fear. Our oceans will die without the life they support. E. O. Wilson, Jonathan Safron Foer, Bjorn Lomberg, Michael Pollan, and Thomas L. Friedman have been instrumental in shaping my opinion of the way we consume. I wonder how drastically even eating an entire fish will reduce the amount of bycatch and overfished areas of ocean. Do you think it will make that big of a difference?
Jan 3 2013: Hi Jordan,
Honestly, I don't know. I feel like we are coming up with small solutions for enormous problems. Overfishing is one of them and so we can avoid species that are overfished--Chilean Sea Bass and many types of tuna come to mind. And we can support the small fishing boats and try to outlaw large factory trawlers. The shark finning industry kills 8 million sharks a DAY. Shark fin soup is on menus in San Francisco. As well, we have ocean acidification as a very real problem that will threaten our estuaries and oysters. And there's rampant habitat destruction going on around the world. But I think we are starting to learn about the consequences of our behavior and that there will be real consequences for all of us, so hopefully we can change our habits--eating, transportation, farming, waste, all of it, and help turn things around.
take care,

More REIT Conversions: Billboards
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There have been a rash of companies converting all or part of their businesses to real estate investment trusts (REITs) in recent years. Some have made sense, others haven't. CBS's (NYSE: CBS) recent announcement that it is looking to turn its billboard business into a REIT is one that makes sense. But how should investors look at a billboard REIT?
REIT Conversions
REITs are a great asset class because they allow for the avoidance of corporate level taxes. While shareholders have to pay taxes on the income received at their normal tax rate, it avoids the onerous double taxation that regular dividends suffer. So, in the long run, a company that makes sense as a REIT is probably doing shareholders a favor by converting to one.
The first big REIT wave of recent years took place around paper companies. Companies with massive land holdings, which provided the primary input (trees) for their paper operations, realized that converting to or spinning off lumber REITs would be a good way to enhance shareholder value. Companies making this change included Potlach (PCH), Rayonier (RYN), and Weyerhaeuser (WY). They all joined Plum Creek (PCL) as lumber REITs. Generally speaking, they have been well received.
Some companies, however, don't make much sense as REITs. Take Penn National Gaming's (NASDAQ: PENN) plans to split itself into a gaming company and a REIT. Penn National owns and operates gaming and horse racing facilities with over 36,000 slot machines, 800 game tables, and nearly 3,000 hotel rooms.
Clearly, the company's physical properties have material value. More so because many are in areas where building new casinos would be virtually impossible because of space constraints or legal and regulatory issues. Penn will remain the casino operator, but not the casino owner. However, how does a casino REIT grow if it's hard or impossible to keep build casinos? Worse, does this conversion look too much like a way to avoid taxes and raise the ire of regulators?
Billboards Make Sense
Like the lumber REITs, billboard REITs make logical sense. Revenues are directly tied to the leasing of property and there are no notable negatives associated with billboards, except for the eyesore factor. So CBS looking to convert its billboards, which include such things as bus shelter signs and other similar signage, to a REIT should be a well-received move. As with most of the announced REIT conversions, CBS' stock jumped on the news. Time will tell if the market's positive view of virtually all such conversions makes sense.
CBS' decision follows Lamar's (NASDAQ: LAMR) move to the exact same thing with its billboards. With more than 140,000 billboards, Lamar will create a REIT that begins life with notable scale. However, it won't have the scale of CBS' billboard business, which tallies more than 400,000 U.S. billboards. Each, however, will be notable competitors in a fragmented industry.
Lamar's REIT will likely come to market before CBS'. The latter's announcement stated that 2014 will likely be the earliest it can convert its billboards to a REIT. The market reception of Lamar's REIT will be interesting to watch, since CBS is likely to see a similar market response.
How to Think About A Billboard REIT
Unlike casinos, the billboard industry is largely fragmented. True, there are at least a half dozen major participants, but after the large companies, there are hundreds of smaller players owning as little as one billboard. Leases can be month to month or for much longer periods, with one-year leases a common period for better situated properties. In some ways this is similar in nature to the apartment area. The fragmentation, however, provides room for acquisition based growth, which is a long-term positive.
Unlike apartments, however, results in the billboard REIT space will be heavily impacted by economic cycles. Indeed, with a mixture of national advertising and local advertising, a weak economy could be a particular drag on results. Big advertisers might pull back from second tier locations, while local adverting could dry up altogether. Thus, investors need to keep a keen eye on economic activity.
Regional exposure could also be an issue, though Lamar and CBS both have broad exposure. That said, if certain areas of the United States were to be suffering more than others, billboard occupancy and lease rates in those areas could come under pressure. This is one to watch if smaller, less geographically diversified billboard REITs come to market.
Costs should be manageable and relatively steady. In many cases, a billboard space is leased by the billboard company for long periods and resold to advertisers for shorter periods. Upkeep is usually fairly negligible, since there isn't nearly much to maintain on a billboard as there is on a property that is used or occupied in some way. The billboard company's lease costs should be watched, to ensure that increases don't outstrip the company's ability to raise lease rates with its customers.
A notable negative, however, is that lease rates are based on supply and demand, and on competing advertising channels. While billboards in high demand areas will likely have stable to increasing lease rates (think Times Square in New York City), less desirable locations will probably see rates fluctuate a lot more. This could make the top line, and dividends, more variable than other property types. It could also lead these companies to maintain dividend levels at the lowest possible legal level (90% of earnings).
Billboard REITs Worth a Look
At the end of the day, Lamar and CBS are probably making a good decision by converting their billboards to REITs. Although neither will consummate these plans soon, investors should keep an eye on their progression. This could be the start of a new industry going through a REIT conversion wave.

Inamori Ethics Prize
Case Western Reserve University Awards 2009 Inamori Ethics Prize to Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
The Inamori International Center for Ethics and Excellence at Case Western Reserve University has named global human rights, health care, sustainability and corporate responsibility advocate Mary Robinson the recipient of the 2009 Inamori Ethics Prize. A former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Robinson was also the first female president of Ireland and helped change the face of Anglo-Irish relations there. Robinson is one of twelve members of Nelson Mandelas organization, The Elders. Mandela says of this group, "Together we will work to support courage where there is fear, foster agreement where there is conflict, and inspire hope where there is despair." Robinson is known most recently for her work with Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative. She founded the nonprofit to promote equitable trade, humane practices in the work environment, corporate responsibility and womens leadership.
The Inamori Ethics Prize was first awarded in 2008, when Dr. Francis S. Collins, a physician-geneticist and leader of the Human Genome Project, was recognized at Case Western Reserve.
After being presented with the Inamori Ethics Prize, President Robinson will give a public lecture on "New Challenges to Human Rights in the 21st Century" at 12:30PM on September 9, 2009 in Severance Hall.
