GENERIC NAME: labetalol
BRAND NAMES: Normodyne (Discontinued Brand), Trandate
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Labetalol is a drug that is used for treating high blood pressure. And is related to carvedilol (Coreg). Nerves from the adrenergic nervous system travel from the spinal cord to arteries where they release norepinephrine. Norepinephrine attaches to adrenergic receptors on arteries and causes the arteries to contract, narrowing the arteries, and increasing blood pressure. Labetalol blocks receptors of the adrenergic nervous system. When labetalol attaches to and blocks the receptors, arteries expand, resulting in a fall in blood pressure. The FDA approved labetalol in August 1984.
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
PREPARATION: Tablets: of 100, 200 and 300 mg; Injection: 5 mg/ml
STORAGE: Tablets should be stored between 2-30 C (36-86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Labetalol is used alone or in combination with other drugs to reduce blood pressure.
DOSING: The recommended starting oral dose of labetalol is 100 mg twice daily and the dose can be increased by 100 mg twice daily every 2-3 days based on the response of the blood pressure. Usual maintenance doses are 200-400 mg twice daily. Patients with severely high blood pressure may require 1.2 to 2.4 g daily.
Side effects may be less if labetalol is given in three daily doses rather than two. Stopping or changing the dose of the drug should be directed by a physician because serious side effects may occur. The initial intravenous dose of labetalol is 20 mg injected over 2 minutes. Additional injections of 40 or 80 mg may be administered every 10 minutes as needed up to a total dose of 300 mg. Labetalol also may be administered by intravenous infusion at 1-2 mg/minute.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Labetalol can mask early warning symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) such as tremors and increased heart rate which are the result of activation of the adrenergic nervous system. Therefore, people with diabetes taking medications that lower blood sugar such as insulin or oral antidiabetic medications may need to increase the frequency with which they monitor their blood sugar in order to prevent hypoglycemia.
Combining labetalol with tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep), imipramine (Tofranil), or nortriptyline (Pamelor) may lead to an increase in tremor which is a side effect of tricyclic antidepressants.
If combined with adrenergic stimulating drugs used for treating asthma, for example, albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin) or pirbuterol (Maxair), the adrenergic blocking effects of labetalol may counteract the effects of the stimulating drugs and reduce their effectiveness for treating asthmatic attacks. More of the adrenergic drug may be needed.
Glutethimide (Doriden) may decrease the effectiveness of labetalol by increasing its elimination. When both drugs are used together, more labetalol or less glutethimide may be needed.
Cimetidine (Tagamet) may increase the effectiveness of labetalol by blocking its elimination and increasing its levels in the blood. Therefore, less labetalol may be needed when cimetidine and labetalol are used together.
Halothane anesthesia may contribute to the blood pressure lowering effects of labetalol.
PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies of labetalol during pregnancy.

The oars stood upright against the bed which was propped against the door of the motel room. The locks had been broken in the night before and the music we'd learned the shapes of was kicking something slowly out of us. There was no chimney to climb out of or field to drift off to. The tub was leaking and my money was stuffed like cherries in my pockets. Suddenly a woman's voice asked us for quiet and we held there. I placed my black hair comb on my tongue. My little brother tied his shoes together which meant he would not budge until I made another promise. I made another promise and her rising voice fell into our faces like a buzzing.

Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes (UCPPS)
Cutting edge information on Chronic Prostatitis (CP/CPPS), Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC) and Pelvic Myoneuropathy
New to this site?
If you have chronic pelvic pain or have a diagnosis of prostatitis, start by reading our page on pelvic myoneuropathy (read how we arrived at our descriptive new label for CP/CPPS) to understand the latest concepts. Read the scientific journal articles that show a 70%-83% success rate in patients who practiced trigger point release physical therapy, one of the many treatment options that has proved successful for patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Also be sure to enrol at our popular Chronic Prostatitis / CPPS / Male Interstitial Cystitis forum to discuss this topic and ask questions.

UPOINT classification means better outcomes
The patient classification scheme called UPOINT, developed by prominent UCPPS researcher Dr Daniel Shoskes, was shown in a study published in the journal Urology in April 2010 to be an effective way to direct multimodal therapy and improve outcomes. Patients are classified according to 6 domains (Urinary, Psychosocial, Organ-Specific, Infection, Neurologic/Systemic and Tenderness). More discussion of the topic at our forum.
Mens' magazine "Best Life" features Prostatitis
The popular online magazine for men, Best Life, has a multipage article on prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome called "The Sex Destroyer". Journalist Steve Rae presents some of the latest ideas in a highly readable format.
"UCPPS" � new umbrella term for CP/CPPS and IC/PBS
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is using the umbrella term Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes (UCPPS) to refer to pain syndromes associated with the bladder (bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC)/painful bladder syndrome, IC/PBS) and the prostate gland (chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, CP/CPPS). Although the term is used for research purposes only at this stage, it makes a lot of sense to us. Read the NIDDK document that coins the term for the for first time. You can also visit the Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (UCPPS) Society.
New Theory leads the Pack
A new theory of the cause of prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain in both males and females is gaining broad acceptance. Called Pelvic Myoneuropathy, the theory combines several other theories in a logical way and provides an elegant solution to the conundrum of this disorder. Read more...
More Bacteria in Controls than Patients!
A September 2003 study by some of the world's top prostatitis researchers produced the astounding finding that normal men have slightly more bacteria in their semen than men with chronic prostatitis (pelvic myoneuropathy). This finding ushers in a new era of thinking about the disorder. The study showed the traditional Stamey 4-glass test to be invalid for diagnosis of CP/CPPS, and that inflammation cannot be localized to any particular area of the lower GU tract. Read abstract.
Antibiotics no better than Placebo
Dr JC Nickel's study into Levofloxacin versus Placebo in men with Chronic Prostatitis / Chronic Pelvic Pain found no difference in eventual outcomes. This suggests that antibiotics should not be prescribed. Read abstract.
Infection Ruled Out in Landmark Study
Bacterial infection, long thought to be a key, ongoing component in chronic prostatitis, was shown to be unimportant in a landmark study from the University of Washington team led by Dr Lee and Prof. Berger. The study found that one third of both normal men and patients had equal counts of similar bacteria colonizing their prostates. Read the abstract here ...
Major Shift in Thinking on CPPS
In an editorial in the February 2003 Journal of Urology called "Emerging Concepts in the Management of Prostatitis / Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome", Dr Anthony Schaeffer marks two milestone concepts in research into CP/CPPS: 1) the effect of antibiotics and 2) the significance of bacteria. Read Dr Schaeffer's words.
Quercetin's Anti-CPPS Chemistry
A study shows both antibiotics and Prosta-Q lower inflammatory markers and increase natural opiods in prostatic fluid. Available at International Prostatitis Foundation site. Another paper (abstract) supports these findings independently. There is credible clinical and scientific evidence that phytotherapy with cernilton or quercetin is safe, well toleratedand efficacious in the majority of patients. See the 2003 paper entitled "Herbal and complementary medicine in chronic prostatitis".

Inside Media: Madeleine Albright
Guest: Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright talks about her new book "Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948," which chronicles her experiences growing up during World War II.
The book takes readers from the capital city of Prague where Albright was born, to the bomb shelters of London where her family moved following the invasion in 1939, to the desolate prison ghetto of Terezin.
Albright also reflects on the discovery of her family's Jewish heritage many decades after the war and the choices her parents and their generation faced as events unfolded on the world stage.
Albright is the author of the New York Times bestsellers "Madam Secretary," "The Mighty and the Almighty," "Memo to the President" and "Read My Pins." She was U.S. Secretary of State from 1997 to 2001. Her career includes positions in the National Security Council, on Capitol Hill and as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Woodworker's Journal
Fan reaction to the film online has moved from light complaints about the more serious, production heavy portrayal of Superman by Henry Cavill in 2013's Man of Steel to uproar when it was announced that Ben Affleck would replace Christian Bale as Batman in the film. However, the furor on social media reached critical levels when Damon was tabbed for the beloved Technician role.
"I can't believe that some no talent hack like Matt Damon could be picked to play one of the most iconic roles in the history of DC Comics!" said Manny "TechnicianFan316" Drel on the DC Comics Facebook page. He later added, "I'm totally waiting until this comes out on DVD."
Woodworking fans were equally upset over the news. The Woodworking.com forum page was alight with the news of the move, many reacting angrily to the casting of woodworking's most beloved Craftsman-sponsored superhero.
"Matt Damon doesn't know a miter joint from a miter saw," forum member Skewperman42. "What gives him the right to think he can play our hero?"
The Technician has gained a rabid following ever since his epic one issue run in 2012. The comic's story tells the harrowing tale of a lonely woodworker who must face down the darkest evils of the world armed only with a nine-piece bolt-on tool system with a Li-Ion rechargable battery. Director Zack Snyder says he "can't wait" to bring the gritty, realistic character to the silver screen.
"If you ask me what character best represents the modern comic book fan, I would say 'The Technician,'" Snyder said at the press event. "Here's a guy, he's just a normal, guy. A woodworker. But he rises up out of that and saves the world. And he does it all in one comic book. Incredible. To me, that's the story. That's Matt Damon."
Damon nodded then added, "I guess it'll be cool to work with Ben again."
Toys are already hitting the marketplace, as an impressive number of Technician-themed merchandise is being produced for this year's shopping season. The character is getting his own Leg-go set, video game, EZ Bake Oven, DVD cartoon, and even a Vegas slot machine. Additionally, the character is rumored to be getting a doll in the next line of Bar-B toys.
There was a rumor circulating on Twitter hours later that the the project may be changed to become The Technician vs. Superman vs Batman given the popularity of the character and the marketing potential of tiny plastic hardhats and multi-tools. Plans could be announced as soon as the San Diego Comic-Con July 24th, during the Technician panel in Hall H.
Snyder responded in a tweet, "lol we're filming the origin scenes right now. where'd he come from, where'd he get his multitool etc. just u wait!!!!"
To better research the role, Damon was later seen shopping at a Sears.

Our story
A new approach to business intelligence and analytics
Birst brings the benefits of fact-based decision making to a much broader audience than ever before by providing enterprise-class analysis and reporting that is quick to deploy, easy to use, and affordable. Founded in 2005 by Business Intelligence experts, we witnessed firsthand the power of enterprise-wide BI platforms, but were dismayed to see how the fragmented offerings, complexity, and high costs inhibited widespread adoption.
With the rise of powerful Cloud-based technologies, we recognized we could build a robust, multi-tenant BI platform that would unify the traditionally siloed BI technologies, automate critical data management tasks, and greatly reduce complexity—speeding deployments and reducing overall costs. We wanted to deliver real BI—more than a simple charting engine for one or two data sources and one that did not assume that IT had already built a data infrastructure ready for analysis. It would address a business' entire analytics needs across all data sources, transforming raw data to analysis-ready information. It would empower business users to make meaningful business decisions without the constant involvement of IT.
At Birst we're giving business meaning to data – by enabling business users to analyze all of their data, from all types of sources, to solve real problems. Fast. Our enterprise-caliber Cloud BI approach is less costly and more agile than traditional, on-premise BI and more powerful than Data Discovery.
Headquartered in San Francisco, California with offices in Europe, Middle East and Asia, Birst is among the fastest growing business-to-business software providers. Selling directly to businesses as well as other software vendors who seek to embed analytics into their applications, more than 1,000 organizations currently rely upon Birst for their business analytics needs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 14, 2009

(Portland, Ore.) – At its recent season-ending Board of Directors meeting, General Director Christopher Mattaliano announced a successful conclusion—artistically and financially—to the Company's 2008/09 season.
"We definitely lived on the edge this year," he commented, referring not only to the season's artistic theme of "Life on the Edge" but also to the challenging economic times.
And yet, despite the difficult economic climate, Portland Opera finished the season with a surplus based on unaudited financials. Complete financial data will be shared in the Company's annual report, due out in September, following the completion of the annual audit. This marks the 11th time in the last 12 seasons that the Company has finished in the black.
Receiving the news, the board gave particular praise to the Opera staff. "This is a group of professionals who have worked tirelessly and effectively to continue our hard-won tradition of finishing seasons in the black. In the face of declining revenue, they quietly and without fanfare responded to those declines with over $600,000 in expense reductions. And in the face of these extraordinary efforts, they produced a season of opera that was absolutely thrilling."
Recapping the season, Mr. Mattaliano pointed to many things that, when combined, resulted in the positive financial conclusion. "We are a unique performing arts organization," he said. "In addition to a very committed core of opera patrons and donors, we were very fortunate to have entered the season in a strong position—a history of fiscal responsibility, no accumulated deficit and an endowment, albeit somewhat challenged during these times." He also noted the company's diverse revenue streams, including rental income from the Hampton Opera Center and income from the Company's presentation of nationally touring Broadway productions under the Fred Meyer Broadway Across America Portland banner. The season was also buoyed by one-time grants for special projects and continued contributions to pay down the Hampton Opera Center mortgage. These mortgage contributions, which have significantly reduced the amount of interest expense, have also put the Company on track to pay off the building's mortgage during the upcoming 2009/10 season.
Over 40,000 patrons enjoyed the 2008/09 season, which marked Mr. Mattaliano's sixth as General Director. The season got off to a stunning start with what Opera magazine in London called "a Traviata to treasure" featuring Maria Kanyova and Richard Troxell. Greer Grimsley returned to Portland for a powerful Fidelio with Lori Phillips. The Company completed its Benjamin Britten chamber trilogy with The Turn of the Screw with Ryan McPherson, Mary Phillips, and Brenda Harris. With a sold-out run, the Portland Opera Studio Artist production—La Calisto—moved successfully to the larger Newmark Theatre where more patrons could be accommodated and still enjoy opera in a very intimate setting. Mark Rucker and Sarah Coburn brought the season to a rousing conclusion with their stunning performances in Rigoletto.
During the season, the Company's touring wing, Portland Opera To Go, logged 4,500 miles in Oregon and SW Washington, taking a gleefully received, 50-minute, English language version of Rossini's Cinderella to nearly 16,000 students. 2009 marked the first year that the tour worked side by side with the Grande Ronde Community Choir in La Grande to stage an entire opera, John Rutter's The Reluctant Dragon, with Eastern Oregon University. In addition, Portland Opera To Go performed a sold-out benefit concert for the beautiful Elgin Opera House. Portland Opera To Go was also privileged to perform for the entire, tiny town of Halfway, Oregon.
Looking Ahead to 2009/10
Portland Opera is set to open its 2009/10 "Love & Marriage" Season on September 25 with Puccini's La Bohème. The season also includes the West Coast premiere of Glass's Orphée, Mozart's Così Fan Tutte, the Studio Production of Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti (along with two Monteverdi works—Il Ballo delle Ingrate and Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda), and Rossini's The Barber of Seville.
Subscriptions to the 2009/10 season, with packages beginning as low as $72, are still available. Regular tickets for La Bohème go on sale to the general public on August 9.
"We expect the upcoming season to be every bit as challenging from a financial perspective," Mr. Mattaliano said, "although we are cautiously optimistic. We trust that donors will appreciate contributing to a company that has welded a strong history of fiscal responsibility with artistic excellence. We hope that the many changes we've already made, our continual monitoring, and our ability to be flexible, will allow us to finish the 2009/10 season with similar news."

The State of IP
It's been years since IP slowly but surely began infiltrating into mainstream carrier networks. In 2010 it's poised to make its biggest impact ever.
Forget about the attention-getting but ultimately underwhelming VoIP softswitch overlays or IPTV service deployments of yesteryear. In today's carrier networks, IP may not always be hyped or even seen, but it is indeed everywhere and in 2010, it's only going deeper and making an even bigger impact.
Industry News
Briefing Room
Today the wireline network core is largely based on Internet Protocol -- or IP, for shorthand, the packet-based protocol that most famously handles Internet traffic. Long-haul transport is becoming increasingly so as well, with not just IP but Ethernet which began its life on the local area network but whose simplicity and compatibility with IP has made it the network of choice almost everywhere becoming largely predominant. Next up: the access network, where fiber-to-the-node and a focus on network/protocol convergence not to mention the proliferation of IP applications are pushing IP into tomorrow's connected homes (and pockets). Also on tap: greater levels of IP interconnect, in which carriers pass traffic from network to network as pure IP.
On the wireless network front, meanwhile, LTE and other 4G technologies are driving IP into tomorrow's mobile packet core. Not to be outdone, IP is moving into the mobile backhaul network as well, where IP and Ethernet are replacing yesterday's leased T1s as bandwidth requirements boom and timing issues challenge backhaul providers mixing voice and data packets on new converged networks.
Finally, there's a world of progress being made with IP at the application layer, with deep packet inspection (DPI), policy servers and other IP elements providing a new network intelligence layer while IP-based architectures like IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and evolving application approaches like Rich Communications Suite (RCS) aim to drive IP throughout the network and out to the client level not to mention the proliferation of over-the-top IP services and applications straining carrier networks.
"We live in a world that is truly evolving to unified communications brought together by IP," said Seamus Hourihan, vice president of marketing and product management for Acme Packet. "In all areas of the network, enterprise to cable to wireless to traditional fixed line, IP is happening, and more than that, the convergence of data and voice and video over IP is happening."
Not that the acceleration of IP isn't causing new challenges: carrier-grade security and service assurance remain omnipresent concerns, as does address exhaustion, which may finally be heralding the long-awaited move to IPv6, the next generation of the core Internet protocol.
So as a new decade dawns, and carrier networks stand ready to face new challenges and take on new opportunities, we decided to take an in-depth look at the "state of IP" circa 2010, focusing on two key areas, the network and application layers. Here's what we found.
The Network: IP in the Core And Beyond
Both traditional incumbent carriers and newer upstarts are betting their businesses on IP everywhere-style strategies.
For instance, in December, nationwide CLEC Bandwidth.com formally launched FlexNetwork, an all-IP network that it says enables IP-based voice origination for a variety of "voice 2.0" players, like Voxeo and Ifbyphone not to mention Google. By not only being all-IP but also fully exposing external voice APIs, Bandwidth.com is basing its entire business on the idea "that voice is simply an IP application that can be mashed-up in many new and interesting ways," said T.R. Missner, CTO of Bandwidth.com and architect of its FlexNetwork.
Not to be outdone, incumbents like Verizon are systematically moving IP into all corners of their existing networks made all the more daunting, of course, by having to retire, or simultaneously manage, their TDM circuit-based network.
Today, for most global, tier one carriers, IP already rules the day in the core of their networks. But the transition to IP isn't stopping there. Consider Verizon, for example.
"It's clearly not going to happen overnight, but we're always looking for areas and ideas for how to transition our voice infrastructure. Internally, a lot of our traffic is already on IP," said ProdipSen, director of packet network architecture for Verizon. Beyond that, Verizon has announced and is busy working on an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture that will underpin all its future services including voice. Meanwhile, Verizon's much-touted FiOS service today delivers its video-on-demand service via switched IP, and while its vanilla cable channels run over cable-style QAM, Verizon has set an all-IPTV migration path, Sen said. Converging all services onto IP allows for new blended services, Sen said, as well as underlying cost savings due to decreased operations and maintenance expenses.
Despite the costs and technical challenges associated with retiring TDM networks, the time has come where the advantages of IP are beginning to outweigh those concerns.
"Efficiencies and efficiencies of scale are the primary thing providers are looking for. Even when we're doing some things like TDM-to-IP legacy service migration for them, the faster we can get it to IP the happier they are. They want to push that to the edge as fast as they can," said Jay Wilson, Adtran's senior vice president and general manager of its carrier division. "From a carrier perspective, the biggest thing is efficiencies, not necessarily just efficiencies of scale but efficiencies of bandwidth and ease of provisioning, improved visibility."
On the residential side, driving IP deeper into the network is part of an ongoing "major refresh of the subscriber edge," said Lindsay Newell, vice president of marketing for Alcatel-Lucent's IP activities. Specifically, now-legacy broadband remote access platforms, implemented largely to support basic DSL service roll-outs and supporting ATM aggregation and ADSL termination -- are being replaced by new broadband network gateway access technologies optimized around IP, Ethernet, VDSL and the delivery of high-def-capable, more real-time triple play services, Newell said. On a box level, that means a lot more multi-service routers on the network edge; on a protocol level, it involves moving to more IP-native DHCP tunnels and IP traffic management techniques focused on a new class of multi-service metrics, such as latency and jitter; in short, "really a much more sophisticated set of higher-capacity, more real-time IP traffic control," Alcatel-Lucent's Newell said.

|Ask a question about this product
National Products Mercedes Benz G55 - Black NP0591
Ages 3+ Years Max Weight:130 lbs
Max Speed 5 mph
This is the children's electric Mercedes Benz G55 AMG, a ride-on version of the former military off-road vehicle turned luxury SUV. The vehicle's 12-volt battery propels two passengers at a cruising speed of 2.5 to 5 mph when the gas pedal is pressed (a parental safety lock limits the speed to 2 1/2 mph in desired); releasing the pedal brings the car to a stop. A lever switches the car from forward to reverse. Its deep treaded plastic wheels
with chrome-look inserts roll smoothly over paved surfaces. The car's interior keeps young drivers with a working FM radio and horn, a jack for an iPod, and a cup holder. Real side mirrors, decorative headlights and windshield wipers, and the iconic Mercedes logo add realistic detail to the exterior. The "spare tire" is actually a concealed cargo area. The SUV runs for one hour on a 10-hour charge from the included AC charger.
Supports up to 130 lbs.

Fujifilm FinePix X100 Review
Value & Verdict
With an original March 2011 launch price of £1000 the Fujifilm FinePix X100 was by no means cheap - although compared to its closest rival at the time, the Leica X1, it still looked like excellent value. Fast forward to November 2012 and the X100 can now be picked up online for around £615, which makes it a much more attractive proposition.
Compared against its newer X-series siblings, the X-Pro1 and X-E1, and the Finepix X100 still looks like pretty good value. Put simply, £650 will barely buy you half
of an X-Pro1 body, while the newer X-E1is still commanding body-only prices
of around £730, or body plus kit lens prices closer to £1150. There are, of course, a number of technological and practical sacrifices to be made, but the savings are pretty big nonetheless.
With the Fujifilm FinePix X100 it's quite clear that Fujifilm has pulled out all the stops when it comes to this camera. The look and feel of the camera is superb - as soon as you pick up the X100, it's obvious that you're dealing with a quality photographic tool. The stripped-down controls make the X100 easy and quick to use, while the unique Hybrid Viewfinder works a treat, though the AF can be a touch slow. All of this is backed up by fantastic images straight out of the camera, delivering some of the best results yet from an APS-C sized sensor. It's not for everyone however, and those looking for a creative compact-sized camera may find it hard to justify over a Compact System Camera, but once you pick up the X100 and see the results, you'll want one.

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
Having bindings for your snowboard is very important. Burton Cartel EST Snowboard Bindings are designed to keep you safely fastened to your board with style. These bindings feature easily adjustable straps with padding that ensures a comfortable ride down the slopes. If you are looking for a very stylish yet comfortable pair of bindings that won't let you down when you're performing at your best, Burton Cartel EST Snowboard Bindings may be exactly what you need.
Discontinued Colors
Burton EST bindings will only work with Burton ICS channel boards. Non EST Burton bindings will fit any current board on the market today.
Cartel EST
At last! Somneoe with the insight to solve the problem!
I got these about month ago and they are just wonderful. I love them. Recommend
got a killer deal and upgraded to these from my 2010 cartels, and they are def more responsive yet give me a little more flexibility where i need it compared to my 2010s.
I've been riding the '12 model since Feb '11 (about 25-30 days on snow so far) and this binding is spectacular. The highback is a big, and significantly better change to the '11's highbacks. This binding goes everywhere with me, it's flexible enough for me to throw it on my park board and lap the park all day, yet responsive enough for to throw it on my boardercross board. This binding, especially the restricted version has extremely comfortable straps, yet hold you firmly in place. Burton's buckles are second to none, smooth and easy to use. the best part about these bindings is that they work well with almost any boot, burton boots work exceptionally but third party brands enjoy a comfortable fit as well. and partnering these est bindings with an ics board, you will not go wrong!
Great bindings for the price and the channel system setup with these gives much more responsiveness and makes the whole setup lighter.
Good stiffness(7 out of 10 on my scale) which works well for intermediate/advanced riders.
These are some of the best toe cap straps I've ever used. Very easy to initiate turns.
Sometimes the latches slip when trying to tighten(not overtighten, just tighten) and the highbacks are a bit difficult to adjust and won't fit all boots the same.
Adjusting the gas pedal function in these requires full removal of the binding which can get irritating unless you have the time and patience to do it over and over again.
The gauge that shows the adjustment settings is way better than any disc setup I've used.
Overall, I'd recommend these to any intermediate/advanced rider as an affordable alternative to the CO2 or C60 bindings.
They might be a bit too aggressive/stiff for beginners but if you demo them then you will probably get used to them rather quickly as I did.

If Yasiel Puig, Andre Ethier, Carl Crawford and Matt Kemp are all healthy, who would be the Dodgers' starting outfielders?
The only time Don Mattingly has had to answer the question was on July 5, the one day this season all four outfielders were available to start.
But with Ethier expected to return to the lineup Tuesday for the start of a three-game series in San Francisco, Mattingly might have to revisit the potentially divisive issue leading up to the first playoff series of his managerial career.
"Now's not the time to make friends," Mattingly said. "Everybody wants to play and somebody's not going to be happy. You've got to try to do what's best for the whole 25."
Pacifying the players over the last six regular-season games shouldn't be a problem, as most of them could use days off. But come the first game of the Dodgers' National League division series, someone's multimillion-dollar ego will be bruised.
"However it goes, we just have to be ready and cheer your teammates on," Crawford said.
How to manage the outfield won't be the only issue Mattingly and General Manager Ned Colletti will discuss in the coming week.
Composing the 25-man playoff roster could be an even greater challenge. Some players who have been with the team the entire season could be excluded.
"There'll be guys that probably won't be happy about not being on the roster when it gets down to it," Mattingly said. "There's going to be some guys that have been around awhile and they're all involved, all competitive and all have made big contributions to what we do. But in the shorter setting, shorter number of games, days off, you go a different route."
Mattingly thinks the Dodgers will carry 11 pitchers. Among them will be four starters — presumably, Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Ricky Nolasco.
There appear to be at least five locks in the bullpen: closer Kenley Jansen, Ronald Belisario, Paco Rodriguez, J.P. Howell and Brian Wilson.
Brandon League was signed to a three-year, $22.5-million contract last winter to be the Dodgers' closer but might not make the postseason roster.
Of the two remaining spots in the bullpen, one could go to reclamation project Carlos Marmol, who has posted a 2.79 earned-run average in 19 games since he was acquired from the Chicago Cubs in July.
Hard-throwing rookie Chris Withrow is another candidate. Withrow has a power arm — he has 40 strikeouts in 31 2/3 innings — and can pitch multiple innings. Of his 24 appearances, 13 have been longer than an inning.
If the Dodgers want a long reliever, they could turn to fifth starter Edinson Volquez or Stephen Fife. Chris Capuano is recovering from a groin injury and might not be an option.
Assembling the six-man bench could also be difficult.
Backup catcher Tim Federowicz certainly will make the team, as will the fourth outfielder, whether it's Puig, Ethier, Crawford or Kemp.
Utility men Nick Punto and Skip Schumaker also are expected to be on the team because they've been productive and their versatility covers the Dodges at multiple positions.
Punto can play shortstop, second base and third base; Schumaker plays second base and all three outfield positions.

Don't miss the good things in life with this recipe. Red velvet cake is a truly elegant sibling of the common yellow cake and should not be missed. This is an excellent recipe for birthdays.
There are so many things that I should tell you about this gluten free Red Velvet Cake. I should tell you about how I baked it this morning while wearing a wrap dress, floral apron, high heels and pearls and looked like I had stepped right out of the 1950s. I should tell you how much my co-workers enjoyed this third cake that I could not bring myself to eat even though it is so delicious. (I am sugared out!). I should tell you how tender, moist and perfect this cake was and how no one could tell that it was gluten free.
I should…but it's 11:00 PM and it's time for this gluten free cook to head to bed. Enjoy the recipe, especially those of you who are planning on making it for your birthdays!
For more yummy gluten free recipes like this, check out my ebook, The Gluten Free Survival Guide. I've packed it full with all of my favorite GF recipes, like waffles, pancakes, scones, tortillas and bread. I know you'll love the recipes as much as we do!
Cake Ingredients:
1 3/4 c. canola oil
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten (room temp)
1 c. brown rice flour
3/4 c. sorghum flour
3/4 c. tapioca starch
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. xanthan gum
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. buttermilk (or 1 Tbsp cider vinegar and 1 c. milk substitute)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 oz. red food coloring (this is one of the McCormick's bottles)
1 Tbsp. cocoa
Frosting Ingredients:
1 box confectioner's sugar
8 oz. cream cheese (can sub vegan cream cheese)
1 stick butter (room temp)
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
Cake Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Use a mixer to cream oil and sugar. With the mixer still going, add one egg at a time and beat until the eggs are thoroughly incorporated. (This step creates an emulsion that holds the batter together)
3. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Make sure they are well mixed, either by sifting the flours or whisking them.
4. Add the flour to the oil and sugar mixture in four parts. Alternate the flour with the buttermilk. You should begin and end with dry ingredients and each part should be mixed in completely before you add the next. (If you were to start with the liquids the emulsion would break.)
5. Make a paste of the cocoa, red food coloring, and vanilla and gently stir it into the batter.
6. Pour the batter into two greased and floured round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 25 minutes. (A toothpick stuck into the middle of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done)
7. When the cakes have completely cooled, frost with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Frosting Instructions:
1. Cream the confectioner's sugar, cream cheese, and butter.
2. Mix in the vanilla and chopped nuts.
3. Spread over cooled cake.

Faced with sluggish demand for steel and a failed effort to shed European assets, the mining company is determined to reduce debt.
This comes close on the heels of a 20% stake sale by ArcelorMittal in the Mary River iron ore project located on Baffin Island in Canada to its partner Nunavut. You can read about that deal on Trefis here.
Recognizing the growth potential -- and also to hedge against rising prices of major raw materials like iron ore and coal -- ArcelorMittal had in the past realigned its strategy to increase its focus on mining. The iron ore prices have slumped phenomenally since then.
Regardless, ArcelorMittal is still expanding its iron-ore business, which is an important earnings driver for the company. Its iron mines are also strategic assets that are expected to give it a cost advantage vis-a-vis competitors. The same logic seems to be driving China Steel and Posco's decision, according to Bloomberg, to purchase the stake ArcelorMittal is selling. The company is projecting a growth in iron ore output to 84 million tonnes in 2015 from the 2011 figure of 54 million tonnes.
The mines in question in the context of the latest deal produce about 40% of Canada's total iron ore output. ArcelorMittal currently produces about 15 million tonnes of iron ore concentrate and more than 9 million tonnes of iron oxide pellets annually out of Canada.
What is forcing ArcelorMittal to sell stakes in strategic assets?
1) Debt burden
ArcelorMittal has been struggling with a heavy debt burden and weak steel prices for quite some time now. Its debt stood at $23.2 billion at the end of Q3. The company has seen its debt rating downgraded by all three major rating agencies -- S&P, Fitch and Moody's. The agencies are not satisfied with ArcelorMittal's debt reduction targets and also believe that the weak market conditions will make steady cash flows unlikely.
2) Weak steel prices
Steel prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) have been trending lower for a long time now. The unfavorable market conditions have contributed to the decline in steel prices on LME.
3) Failure to get rid of production overcapacity in Europe
ArcelorMittal reported a loss in the third quarter and admitted that conditions in Europe were unlikely to improve anytime soon. According to the company, demand for steel in Europe has slumped by 29% since 2007.
The situation in Europe is so bad that ArcelorMittal announced last month that it will write down the value of its European assets by $4.3 billion in the fourth quarter. You can read about it in our previous article on Trefis here.
With such a phenomenal slump in demand, a significant production overcapacity was only to be expected. The steel manufacturing capacity in Europe stands at around 210 million tonnes, of which only 155 million tonnes is being utilized at the moment.
Indeed, ArcelorMittal has been attempting to get rid of overcapacity wherever possible and shed non-productive assets. However, it has run into significant political opposition from irate politicians furious at job cuts resulting from sale of assets. This may be forcing the company to compensate elsewhere in order to meet debt reduction targets that are absolutely imperative given the investment rating downgrades. Future growth may be compromised if ArcelorMittal is unable to access funds from the market at reasonable rates of interest.
A few days back, ArcelorMittal faced a political backlash in France over its attempt to shut down two blast furnaces at Florange, in case nobody was willing to purchase them. The resulting public fury forced ArcelorMittal not only to keep the plants idle, but also commit to additional investments over time. Although the investments have been suspended for the time being, the company is still incurring heavy costs on keeping the furnaces idle. The sale of these blast furnaces was an important part of the company's asset sale plan designed to reduce debt. The events that unfolded may have upset these plans and provided an additional impetus to look at alternatives in order to meet the debt reduction target.
In summary, the imperative to reduce debt in the face of sluggish demand for steel and the company's failure to shed assets at Florange as planned may have prompted this move.
We have updated our Trefis price estimate for ArcelorMittal to $15 after the third quarter earnings results.

Duluth, MN (KDAL) - The Duluth Planning Commission last night voted to recommend a zoning change for the now closed Rockridge Elementary School. The School District says it will be easier to unload the now closed building if the zoning is changed. Nearby residents spoke against that change because it could lead to over development.
