Some people using this medicine have engaged in activity such as driving, eating, or making phone calls and later having no memory of the activity. If this happens to you, stop taking flurazepam and talk with your doctor about another treatment for your sleep disorder.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to flurazepam
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication:
- asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), or other breathing problems;
- glaucoma;
- kidney or liver disease;
- myasthenia gravis;
- a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or behavior;
- a history of drug or alcohol addiction; or
- if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a benzodiazepine such as alprazolam (Xanax), chlordiazepoxide (Librium), clorazepate (Tranxene), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), temazepam (Restoril), or triazolam (Halcion).
Flurazepam may pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
The sedative effects of flurazepam may last longer in older adults. Accidental falls are common in elderly patients who take benzodiazepines. Use caution to avoid falling or accidental injury while you are taking flurazepam.
Do not give this medication to anyone younger than 15 years old.
How should I take flurazepam (Dalmane)?
Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Contact your doctor if your insomnia does not improve after taking flurazepam for 7 to 10 nights, or if you have any mood or behavior changes. Insomnia can be a symptom of depression, mental illness, or certain medical conditions.
Your insomnia symptoms may return when you stop using flurazepam after using it over a long period of time. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely.
Flurazepam may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Flurazepam should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.
Store flurazepam at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Keep track of how many capsules have been used from each new bottle of this medicine. Benzodiazepines are drugs of abuse and you should be aware if any person in the household is using this medicine improperly or without a prescription.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A man from Green Bay charged with reckless homicide in the death of a toddler will stand trial.
Police say 29-year-old Nicholas Willies was babysitting his girlfriend's son, Alex Fountain, back in January. Officers say he took the boy to the hospital because he stopped breathing, and bruises and scrapes were found all over his body.
Court documents show Fountain died from abdominal trauma and a significant head injury. A pathologist also found that some of the boy's injuries happened before the day he died.
Willies will enter a plea when he returns to court June 10.

Any business that provides health care services or deals in any way with medical records needs to stay abreast of developments related to HIPAA, the major privacy law that details the ways in which such information must be secured for the protection of patients. Now, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has released a HIPAA Security Rule Toolkit to assist such businesses as they conduct risk assessments so they can identify the areas in which they need to improve. The toolkit is available free of charge.
According to Kevin Stine from NIST, "My hope is that organizations will use this tool to gain a better understanding of the security controls that they have put in place to protect their health information and to support a more comprehensive risk assessment process." Stine went on to remark that using the toolkit does not necessarily mean that organizations will be in full compliance with all HIPAA standards. Instead, using it will help businesses to understand HIPAA requirements better so they can evaluate their own implementation of the law.
The new HIPAA Security Rule Toolkit is ideally implemented through a managed programs approach. In this model for IT solutions and services, visiting personnel routinely come to a business premises to take care of ongoing tech needs. The toolkit is a good match for this model of IT services because putting it to use in such a manner will not disrupt the workflow of other employees. Instead, the managed programs personnel can implement the toolkit and bring the results to the attention of management.

Edmonton Eskimos announced on Friday that quarterback Mike Reilly has been medically cleared to play against the Montreal Alouettes after sustaining a concussion last week against the Toronto Argonauts.
Reilly was injured in the first half of the game on a hit from Argos defensive end Cleyon Laing.
Though he stayed down after the hit, he was not immediately removed but did leave after throwing a touchdown pass on the next play.
The 28-year-old passed the CFL's standardized and mandated return-to-play protocol.
The Eskimos had announced on Monday that Reilly was out indefinitely with a concussion.
His status for the game against the Alouettes has not yet been determined.

Australia won the 1st ODI against West Indies by nine wickets after chasing down a paltry target of 70 in just 9.2 overs at the Western Australia Cricket Association Ground on Friday. Glenn Maxwell led the chase with a quick fire unbeaten knock of 51 after pacer Mitchell Starc had run through the Windies line up picking up 5 for 20.
In chase of 70, Glenn Maxwell, opening the innings in place of injured David Warner, clobbered 18 runs of the first over bowled by Kemar Roach with three fours and a six. Maxwell then hit another six and four of the 3rd over – Roach second – as Australia raced to 32 for 0 in three overs.
Debutant Jason Holder got rid of Aaron Finch for 10 in the 4th over as Maxwell continued his rampaging hits over the fence. The Victorian hit nine fours and two sixes in his 35-ball knock. Usman Khwaja hit the winning run in the 9.2 overs to hand Australia the win. Read more

As the World Dies: Rhiannon Frater Takes a Deeply Intimate Look at the Zombie Apocalypse
"People die. And it ain't easy."
– Fighting to Survive by Rhiannon Frater
And while the novel wasn't exactly innovative in terms of expanding the boundaries of zombie fiction or apocalyptic fiction, Frater's extraordinary ability to develop emotionally compelling and endearing characters made The First Days a virtually unputdownable read.
The novel begins with an unimaginably horrific sequence; arguably one of the most memorable – and disturbing – scenes I've ever experienced in a zombie novel. Jenni, a disillusioned wife and mother trapped in a marriage with a physically abusive man, wakes up to find her zombified husband consuming their three-year old son (…she found Lloyd, hunched over Benjamin, eating away her baby's tender flesh."). After rushing outside, Jenni watches as her now undead family wildly tries to escape the house to get at her:
"The fingers pressed under the front door of her home were so very small. She could not stop staring at those baby fingers straining frantically to reach her as she stood shivering on the porch…"
Fatefully rescued by a woman driving by – an attorney named Katie whom minutes earlier witnessed her own beloved wife Lydia become one of the undead – the two very different women escape the bloody chaos around them in search of some kind of sanctuary. What they find is a world gone insane, civilization in a matter of hours completely destroyed…
Rarely are middle volumes of trilogies considered the most memorable or strongest installments so no disrespect to Frater is intended here – in fact, I think she did an admirable job with this book. In the thrilling first novel, Jenni and Katie were primarily focused on escaping the zombie hordes and simply surviving from moment to moment. In Fighting to Survive, they are (relatively) safe inside of the fortified town of Ashley Oaks and are beginning to look at survival in the long term – finding a suitable place to live, creating food and weapon caches, establishing a new social order amongst the survivors, collectively finding ways to not only deal with the zombies but also with a band of murderous bandits, etc.
And while Fighting to Survive didn't blow me away like The First Days did, what it did do was set the table for a potentially blockbuster of a third volume. And if Siege is as half as good as I'm expecting it to be, we're all in for one helluva read!
As evidenced recently by Sophie Littlefield's Aftertime saga (Aftertime and Rebirth), Joan Frances Turner's Resurgam sequence (Dust and Frail), and Frater's As the World Dies trilogy, apocalyptic fiction isn't exclusively written by and for men anymore – readers looking for some downright unforgettable heroines at the end of the world should look no further than these exceptional sagas.

I like how you describe the books here. Paul your description of what a middle novel is for and its benefits to the series was appreciated by me. Every novel in a series has an important part to play. And I will be added to my list of books to read.

They're 2-0, having won twice against teams that made the playoffs last season. They're 2-0 and they've trailed for only 16 minutes and 20 seconds of the season's first two hours. They're 2-0 and they're looking really good again, but still they need something. And that something sits about 40 minutes south of Boston.
Chris Houston: "We're ready."
Mike Peterson: "We're up for the test."
The Patriots are the gold standard of 21st Century football. The Falcons are the team that, having worked in two different centuries, still hasn't achieved consecutive winning seasons. But that's about to change. These guys are up for anything. This a franchise that, for the first time in its existence, is moving from strength to strength.
Michael Turner: "We're trying to do something special here."
The Falcons did special things against Carolina on Sunday — Matt Ryan completed 13 consecutive passes and Turner trampled out 105 yards and Houston made a game-changing interception and Brian Finneran, of all people, helped thwart a game-ending Hail Mary — but the result didn't feel at all extraordinary. It felt as if a good team had again taken care of business.
Tony Gonzalez: "The great thing about this was that it was a total team effort. There wasn't one guy dominating."
Although the new guy came close. Ryan threw seven times to Gonzalez. He completed all seven passes, one of them for a touchdown, another for the greatest one-handed-grab-while-being-interfered-with in NFL history. Gonzalez completes this offense. And the defense, which had some iffy moments Sunday, nonetheless made the required stops.
Houston: "The coach [Mike Smith] has done a great job of keeping us working. He never lets us think too highly of ourselves."
At the same time, Smitty and staff don't undersell the potential inherent in this roster. The Falcons no longer view themselves as underdogs. They were 11-5 last season and they're 2-0 now. They've stepped up in class. And that's why the weekend in New England comes at such a propitious moment.
Gonzalez: "Any time you go up against Tom Brady and [Laurence] Maroney, especially in New England, that's going to be a test. And really, that's something we need."
Yes. The Falcons have come so far so fast as to have rendered those of us on the periphery without bearings. Are they really one of the 10 best teams in pro football? One of the five best? Have we already passed the point where we half-expect them to backslide after their rousing 2008 season? Can they stand toe to toe with Brady and Randy Moss and Kevin Faulk and Wes Welker for two, three, four quarters.
We know now that the 2009 Falcons could absorb a big effort from a division opponent and still win. "There was a lot of good football played out there," Smith said afterward, and there was. Jake Delhomme did not fall to pieces. Steve Smith did not lose his mind. The Panthers started nicely and finished with a rush. And still they lost.
Next up: New England. "You know you're dealing with a veteran team, a team used to winning," said Peterson, who forced his third turnover of 2009 Sunday. But Peterson's new team is itself getting accustomed to smiling on Sunday. And the nicest part is that the Falcons, who are turning into something of undeniable merit, aren't at all impressed.
Peterson: "We're taking it one at a time, trying to pile up as many wins as we can string together."
Here he smiled. "And we're 2-0," he said.
September 20th, 2009
5:58 pm
The Patriots got old and dont scare anyone anymore.
September 20th, 2009
5:59 pm
The Falcons arent going up there to kiss their rings either. No cheating = no edge also. Right, Bilicheat?
September 20th, 2009

Go Falcons. Great game today. It seems more and more like the guy we're watching quarterback our team is soon going to be mentioned in the same sentence as Manning, Montana and Brady. It's remarkable how far this team has come since Vick went to prison and Petrino skipped town to Arkansas. Great game, Falcons — steal one next week.

And the Panthers last TD should have never counted. There is going to be some huge call made over the whole "control to the ground" issue this year.

Good article MB. Next week should be fun and a good test. TG is the real deal, just need the D to keep coming together.

is 'control to the ground' something new? it always used to be 'break the plane'. Once the plane was broken, it doesn't matter what happens thereafter. Either way, it looked like he had the ball until his elbows hit the ground.

Great article, Mark. I'm looking forward to next week because the game should really test our meddle.
I'm also quite excited about this season's start! A buddy and I were talking about our schedule, and how it looked quite plausible that we'd start the season 1-3 (after watching our defense in the preseason.) But now, I don't think a 4-0 start is out of the question. Certainly 3-1!
Already casting my gaze toward the future, though… is anyone else as freaked out by New Orleans as I am?!

I lived in Atlanta for 20 years and sulked through 20 years as a Falcons fan. I made myself watch every game.
I moved to the Northeast a little over a year ago. Of course, during this time, the Falcons become a great team. Now I CAN'T watch the Falcons because they don't show the games.

Keys to to the Game is keep the Ball Out of Brady hands and score with long drives.

Good article Mark, can't wait to hear all the talk about TOM BRADY(yeah I can along w/anchez..) while we Take Care Business, fly under the radar. Whoever has the last possession will win .
Falcons 3-0 and break. What's up w/ Jerry?
September 20th, 2009

Rosario never had posession. I expect Matt Ryan to have his best game of the season next week
September 20th, 2009

In regards to the last Carolina TD, it appeard that he never really pulled the ball in, it was on his fingertips the entire time. However, it was not evidence enough to overturn the call.
September 20th, 2009
6:32 pm
I am just glad New England pulled it off in Buffalo, 0-2 New England would not be a team you want to play.
September 20th, 2009
6:33 pm
Wow. exciting, that last play was closer than I like to of seen. What is Peria Jerry status Mark? TG is showing me why he is the greatest TE ever, he doesn't drop a pass, and if he does its pass interference. Bring on NE. I'm into espn power rankings and I think a win in NE give us the number two slot despite there loss today

I see the Falcons and Carolina turning into a rivalry good game…These aren't the Patriots of old, their defense and running game is suspect, it won't be a easy game but I expect us to win… TAKE IT ONE GAME AT A TIME….

I'm the guy whose dad passed 9-10 after a hell of a battle with cancer. That weekend Tech, dawgs, and the falcons won. Braves swept the Cards. He lived here his whole life and loved all sports.

Probably not a requirement next week in Foxboro (BTW, is Foxboro the Mass. equivilent to Jonesboro?), but more "Beerman" sightings would certainly help the cuase.

6:59 pm
I'm going to be in Paris during next week's game. After today's game, I've thought of canceling the trip. New England may be too much for our young defense. (I don't know why Carolina did anything but run today.)
Still, the Birds have shown they can play with anybody in the league. Even if they lose, the other team will know it was in a brawl (I almost said "dogfight"). It's gonna be a tough season, but I've followed them since 1966, and they've finally gotten to the point that big wins aren't flukes.
The best combo on the Falcons team — and maybe in the NFL — is Blank-Dimitroff-Smith (and Ryan).

Gonna have to do better on D to get a win next week.
September 20th, 2009
7:08 pm
I have to say that I was impressed with the offense today. Just solid work up and down. The defense scares me a bit. I'm excited to see how it holds (or how far it bends) when it comes up against the league's most explosive offenses. For my own edification, does New England's offense still count as such or is it just the Tom Brady show?
September 20th, 2009
7:08 pm
Thank goodness our defense is finally being led by a competent linebacker who actually makes an impact on the game (Peterson)…The previous fraud (Brooking) did more community-garbage and off-field things than anything actually ON the field.
Addition-by-Subtraction! The defense is finally fraud-free!
September 20th, 2009

I'm the guy whose dad passed on 6-10 after a hell of a battle with cancer. Dogs, Tech, and the falcons won that weekend. Braves swept the Cards. Could be some daddy carma working this year.

The defense is fraud-free with the exception of its coordinator.
VanGoofball is the luckiest moron in the league. Smith does all the work and he gets all of the undeserved credit.
Check how much better the d is playing since the real season began and Smith inserted himself more firmly into game planning on the defensive side.

Hey Y'all:
ONE GAME AT A TIME. ONE GAME AT A TIME. The "PROCESS" continues. These FAlCONS are for real, and they will show us "ONE GAME AT A TIME." THEY WILL DO THIS IS "ONE HEARTBEAT!!!". These guys are playing "STRONGER" and "STRONGER" each week, on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. The special teams are playing great!! They are all playing "TOGETHER" like "ONE HEARTBEAT!!". The beat is getting stronger. Can you hear it? Can you hear it? THUMP!!THUMP!!! THUMP!!! THUMP!!!!!……Boy, soon I will have to put my hands on my ears since it is getting so "LOUD".

We covered…Every week is the same thing. Dolphins will be an early test. Carolina, divition winner last year, will be looking for retribution for big lose. New England the untimate test of success after two wins following a play-off year.
New England is the one that has something to prove if you ask me. If you dont ask me then you dont have a clue about this team.

You get the best seats, the perks, and you still mess w/ the fans. Shaking my head @ you and Schultz. I miss Terrance Moore right now. I guess you hate living in the ATL. Move to NY. Isn't that what life is all about. Just ask the stupid ESPN idiots.

Bad News is a moron. Why does he continue to call Ryan "noodle arm"?? I think it is because he sleeps with a Vick Fathead.
That being said-bring on NE. This team (Atl) has showed some real moxie, and our defense will improve each week. Today was a classic "trap" game and we survived. BTW those uni's looked great-we exorcised some demons.
Mark-Give us a P Jerry status-we need him.

Hey David, Mike Vick had nothing to do with the Falcons failures, it was lack of overall talent. As a Falcon Fan and a Vick fan and supported, I want the best for both. I feel that teh Falcons Fans are better served to move on from the Vick situation, much like the Falcon organization has done. There are no excuses and polacing, whatever degree of blame, on Mike Vick does not put wins in the win column. I believe Mr. Vick put a lot of effort in leading the team. His misdeeds had nothing to do with football or the Falcons.

Doesn't look good, esp. when the big men fall (ask Sturdivant). Lot of weight on those lower limbs. Keepin our fingers crossed for ya, big guy.
Jerry's injury a big concern for Falcons
September 20, 2009 7:02 PM
Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
I had the pleasure of covering the Carolina-Atlanta game with ESPN.com colleague Len Pasquarelli. Since my background includes a lengthy stint as a beat writer covering Carolina, and Len's includes an even longer stint as a beat writer covering the Falcons, we stayed true to that in our postgame columns. I wrote about Jake Delhomme and Carolina and Len wrote about Matt Ryan and Atlanta.
But there's one thing on the Falcons I want to bring up here because it could be hugely significant. The injury to Atlanta rookie defensive tackle Peria Jerry did not appear to be a small one. It looked bad at the time and I've even heard some rumblings that Atlanta's pro personnel staff already is looking at available defensive tackles (ask the Panthers, there's not much out there right now).
We should get stronger word on Jerry's injury on Monday, but I don't think I'm going out on a limb by projecting that he's at least going to miss some time. This is a major concern because Jerry was off to a nice start.
With Thomas Johnson and Trey Lewis as the backup defensive tackles, the Falcons aren't exactly loaded at this position.

Trevor, I absolute agree with you. Our defensive backs are going to have a hard time with N.E's receivers. I only hope we can generate more of a pass rush than we did today so Brady won't be able to sit in the pocket and pick off our dbs'.

Whats tough to believe as a Falcon fan is that with such diversity on offense, we have perhaps the BEST offense in the entire NFL. That is hard to believe, but with Ryan at QB nothing seems to be out of reach for this team. The Falcons seem to be loaded with weapons.

As as Falcons fan since the beginning, I have suffered through a lot of terrible events. Last year and the first two games this year give me hope. One game at a time. Matty Ice is a great student of the game. As a retired orthopod the violence of the NFL game which terrifies me is balanced by the incredible skill of hundreds of these guys. We have a great GM and a great coach. We have some very fine players. For the first time ever, I have real hope for a solid NFC champ who could win it all with a break or two.

My hero, esteemed journalist Mark Bradley has raised the possibility that the Falcons are perhaps a top 10 team — and I believe they are.
Disclosure: Mark didn't actually SAY they're a top 10 team, he simply mentioned the idea as a hypothetical for readers to decide themselves.
(Expert journalists occasionally do thangs like that — verbal hedges or hypothetical questions — especially if they recently picked Tech to beat Miami or something).
Top teams aside, Pats win and Falcons lose. Home field advantage. Hope I'm wrong.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves Georgia Fans!!! Remember the 2008 Bulldogs? Expectations are high (as they should be), however, the true accomplishment will be finishing this season with a winning record, and making it past to the first round of the playoffs. Yes, these two victories are high and gives us tremendous momentum, which we'll need going up to FoxBoro were our beloved Falcons won't be able to hear themselves think. I foresee Mr. Bill employing the same tactics as Arizona did last year in the playoffs. It will be the greatest challenge of the season, because New England is looking for identity, and it just might be at our expense. Hopefully, we'll go up their and come back victorious. If not, we'll have a monsterous game, and continue to build upon that. We have a brutal schedule this season and alot of football left, and no one can be taken lightly, underestimated, and/or overlooked. These two wins were an absolute must. Go Falcons! Truly, this game scares me, but it's a much needed test. These Falcons are the real deal, but so are the Patroits, the Giants, the Saints (two times this year), the Cowboys…. you get the picture! Matt, Roddy, both Mike(s), and Tony will have to have an impeccable game, not to mention someone stepping up (Michael Jenkins) to have a chance to win. I don't know about this one guys……

i remember when the falcons went 12-4 in 80 and started the next season 3-1. AJC headline, "a city on fire!" well, that team had a key injury and the rest of the season was in ashes. so, this team has a long way to go. i also hate the prevent defense. way to almost lose the game, MikeyD is right.

Bradley, you need to pay closer attention or get glasses. Finneran knocked down that pass at the end of the first half. HOWEVER, he did NOT knock down that pass at the end of the game. The DB – #20 (forgot his name) knocked that one down (actually, he poorly swatted it up instead), but it wasn't Finneran. Shouldn't a sportswriter know the details?

Some of you may recall the case of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, the Hamas commander who was assassinated last month at a hotel in Dubai. Culling entry documents, passport information, and most of all video surveillance, authorities in Dubai have compiled a pretty compelling, real-life explanation of how it was done.
The video below isn't graphic at all, but it does show you how an 11-person hit squad descended on Dubai, found its target, carried out its assignment and then disbanded. (There's no sound, and the video is a half-hour long.)

Update, 11:30pm PST: KIRO TV (CBS Seattle) quotes Boeing spokesman Doug Alder as saying the Boeing offer has not been withdrawn, contradicting the IAM 751's understanding.
Update, 9:10 PM PST: The Seattle Times reports the IAM 751 membership will get to vote on Boeing's counter-contract offer after all.
Original Post:
Talks between Boeing and the IAM 751 machinists union failed to reach an agreement when Boeing presented a counter-proposal to the union's offer that did't budge on the pension issue, according to The Seattle Times.
KING5 TV (NBC Seattle) has this story.
Boeing's statement is here.
IAM 751's statement is below the jump (there isn't a unique link to it).
The Boeing and IAM 751 statements paint a very different picture of the offers.
Our take:
Although both sides now have said talks have ended, we fully expect political pressure on both sides to resume talks before Boeing makes a final decision on the 777X assembly site.
Boeing said it will make a decision early next year; our sources suggest this timeline is the end of January.
This leave a small window for a third try, but we're not optimistic.
We believe that barring an agreement, Boeing Chicago will elect to put the 777X assembly site and wing production somewhere other than Washington.
We believe that those within the IAM membership who believe Boeing is bluffing are mistaken. One need look no further than the events leading to putting 787 Line 2 in Charleston. Members believed Boeing was bluffing then, and it wasn't.
As we have written many times, while Boeing Commercial Airplanes is understood to want to assembly the 777X in Everett, headquarters in Chicago has a very different view–and in the end, it's only that view that counts.
One item in the Boeing statement stands out like Braille to us as well:
In addition, a separate agreement committing final assembly of the 737 MAX at the Renton, Wash. site would have been extended through 2024.
For those who think it impossible Boeing wouldn't start another 737 assembly line elsewhere, we understand from two sources close to Boeing that a study is underway about opening a 737 assembly line in Charleston. Some 737 MAX work has already been assigned there, and Boeing continues to buy land there.
We firmly believe that the industrial logic–and all other logic–demands that the 777X (and the 737 MAX) assembly be in Puget Sound. But Boeing CEO Jim McNerney is clearly intent on moving work away from the unions (and from Washington State) absent dramatic changes in contracts and the cost of doing business.
Boeing offered terms and conditions in the IAM contract that were sure to be rejected.
The PR war of who is responsible will continue for some time to come. But just as we firmly believe the 777X should be built in Washington, we also firmly believe it won't be without some last minute agreement.
Washington politicians need to step up their effort to look Beyond Boeing for the future of the state's aerospace industry.
Wroblewski: 'We were willing to give Boeing labor peace'
SEATTLE – Talks between the Boeing Co. and Machinists Union District 751 have ended after the two sides failed to reach an agreement on a proposed contract extension that would have guaranteed the 777X would be built in Washington state.
"Our members want to build the 777X, and we believe Boeing's best chance for success for this vital airplane program is for our members to build it here," said District 751 President Tom Wroblewski.
"However, the price Boeing demanded was too high," he continued. "Our senior leadership team could not recommend Boeing's counter-offer."
"On Wednesday, the union had offered Boeing a preliminary contract proposal that would have guaranteed the company a total of 16 years of labor peace by extending the current contract, which has been in place since 2008, until 2024.
"Boeing's leadership has said time and again during this process that this was a top priority, and we were wiling to give them that," Wroblewski said. "We were willing to give them labor peace."
However, Boeing's counter-offer on Thursday was mostly unchanged from the proposal that Machinists had rejected by a 2-to-1 margin on Nov. 13, demanding steep concession in retirement and health benefits while limiting future pay increases.
Boeing's offer Thursday was contingent on union leadership recommending acceptance, Wroblewski said.
"This we could not do," he said. "Our members had already rejected this."
Wroblewski said the union will continue to make the case that Washington is the best place for Boeing to build the 777X, which is the latest derivative of Boeing's best-selling widebody jet.
"Machinists Union pay and benefits make up less than 5 percent of the total cost of building an airplane," he said. "And for these pennies on the dollar, Boeing gets in return the most-skilled, most-productive aerospace workers in the world
"Any objective analysis will show that Boeing's best business case is to build the 777X in Washington, utilizing the skills, experience and dedication of our Machinists Union members," he concluded.
Wroblewski said he does not regret attempting to negotiate a new deal. "Going back to the table was the responsible thing to do," he said. "We just couldn't get to an agreement. Again, the price was too high."

Ozzy and Kelly are riding around in a short bus somewhere. Ozzy is complaining that "The Bone Channel" (porn) just came on in his hotel room without his asking for it. (That happened to me recently in Vegas. Not that I was complaining on moral principles, mind you -- I was glad to see the Old Lady Porn -- but when I looked at my bill, they were charging me $42.00 for two all-day porn channels that I never ordered. And then when I called up to have them take the channels and the charge off, the front desk chick totally didn't believe me. I mean, c'mon, man -- oh my God, I've become just like Ozzy.) (Oh, but also, my last phone bill had two mysterious 1-900 numbers on them made in the middle of the night, from both of our phone lines. Pac Bell took the charges off when I called, but when you put those two things together, you come up with these two explanations: Either my girlfriend is a closet porn fiend with poor monetary reasoning, or I'm a sleep-porn-watcher.) Anyway, Kelly asks if they have porn on the TV in the hotel. "Big time and full-on, babe," Ozzy says. Kelly then says she thought you had to buy the porn, and Ozzy says that you do, but -- she starts teasing him that he bought some porn, and he tries to defend himself, "I pushed the wrong button!" Hee. Kelly starts calling him a liar, making the driver of the short bus crack up. She calls him a dirty bastard, and Ozzy then asks, "What's a lonely, single man to do?" Kelly corrects him that he's not single. Oh, I get the feeling that over the years when Ozzy's out alone on the road, he's single. Opening credits.
The episode is called "Beauty and the Bert." A love song plays over shots of the garden, bees, flowers, the dogs licking each other. They pan across rocks in the garden with the family members' names on them. When they get to Aimee's, they pixelate it, but purposefully not very well. Okay, good joke.
Now in Sharon's bedroom, or some bedroom, Jack, Sharon, and Kelly lie around, with Bad Nanny hovering like she likes to do. Jack is teasing Kelly that she made out with "Pukey," the lead singer in a band. Kelly says that she's done a lot more than just kiss Pukey. Aw, why would she say that in front of her poor mother? Kelly explains that he's called that because he pukes on stage. Then Jack reveals his nickname in the band: "Cauliflower Dick." They bleep all the words so you have to parse it out. It's funnier that way. Sharon says she knows why they call him that, and then tries to figure out the word for venereal disease -- she says, "Virginial…" Hee. Kelly says she's not going out with anyone, and Sharon says, "You're damn well not going out with someone with a dick like a cauliflower." Man, that's funny. Jack, letting Lola lick him, suggests that maybe he has a deformed penis. Kelly starts feeling grossed out, and Melinda says that she could get the disease on her hands just by touching his dick. Sharon tells her she could get it just by kissing him. (Or by kissing the cauliflower. Sorry, that's gross. I know.) "For fuck's sake, Mom!" says Kelly.
Now Jack is talking on the phone to Ozzy about Kelly dating this guy, Bert, the lead singer of a punk band called The Used. (I don't understand -- if they were on OzzFest as I've heard, why doesn't Sharon at least doesn't know of them more?) Instead of the normal worried dad reactions, Ozzy says, "What a fucking nerdy name is Bert." Hee. Tattletale Jack gleefully recounts that after the first week of dating, Bert told Kelly he loved her. Now Ozzy looks a little worried. So does Lola, but she just may have to throw up.

Is Your Child Snoring?
Snoring, though it may bring to mind Fred Flintstone or a well-loved adult, is not just a problem in adults. In fact, about 10 percent of children more than occasionally produce that noisy, labored breathing of sleep we call snoring. Very simply put, snoring is the result of air travelling down partially blocked or inadequate passageways on its way to the lungs. Situations that cause airway blockage can result in snoring. Colds do, for example, by causing swelling and more than the usual mucus production, as do allergies, either seasonal or year-round.
Yet snoring is also a symptom seen in 1 to 2 percent of children with a more serious problem called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). For them, airway blockage can get to the point of completely preventing air movement. After a pause in breathing, called apnea, (during which no oxygen is supplied to the body), these sleepers awaken to take a deliberate breath, often with a noisy gasp. The most common causes of this more serious type of obstruction are tonsils and adenoids (the latter are lymph tissue, like tonsils, found further back in the throat) that are too big relative to the size of the rest of the child's upper airway. Other risk factors are obesity, neuromuscular diseases like Cerebal Palsy or Muscular Dystrophy, and syndromes associated with a small mid-face or jaw or low tone, as in Down syndrome.
The upper airway system has a complicated anatomy. More than 30 pairs of muscles work to provide the many functions of this part of the body: swallowing, talking, and breathing, among others. Normally, the factors that cause the airways to collapse (to swallow or talk, for example) and those that keep the airway open are in balance. Certain upper airway problems like large tonsils and adenoids upset this balance, but, while awake, muscles can compensate for this with increased tone. When asleep, though, muscle tone involuntarily decreases, and without this compensation, airways collapse. Over the course of one night, a sufferer from OSA can snore, become apneic and awaken many times, interrupting the normal sleep cycle and producing daytime drowsiness.
Other problems that have been linked to OSA are diminished school performance, developmental delay, eneuresis (day or night wetting) and sluggish growth. Though seen in many ages, two- to six-year-olds are most often affected, due to the relatively large tonsil and adenoid size in this age group.
How can OSA be distinguished from less serious snoring? It often isn't possible to tell in the awake child, though very large tonsils and adenoids can cause mouth-breathing or a nasal-sounding voice. The most helpful clues are the night-time ones. A pattern of snoring, labored breathing, apnea then arousal with a gasp or choking effort is alarming. Sometimes these children are restless sleepers or sleep in unusual positions—sitting up or with necks arched backwards.
Many times the causes of snoring in children are straightforward and easily remedied. Teaching children to clear their blocked noses by blowing one nostril at a time into a tissue before bed helps during a cold. Treating seasonal allergies can help, as may eliminating feather pillows or stuffed animals if allergies to them are suspected. But, if these issues don't apply and a child exhibits some of the symptoms seen with OSA mentioned above, this should be brought up for discussion with a pediatrician or healthcare provider.

Effects of Sales on Brand Loyalty
AbstractAlthough many theoretical industrial organization models are based on the existence of a critical mass of exogenously brand loyal consumers, we find little empirical evidence supporting these assumptions in the orange juice retail market. There are very few loyal consumers. More importantly, the frequency with which stores conduct sales affects the share of loyal types so that loyalty is endogenous rather than exogenous. Households demographics have statistically significant but economically minor effects on switching behavior. Switching across frozen and refrigerated states is very common, leading to more complicated substitution patterns and less loyalty than one observes looking at each state separately.

The Tadpole Project of Coal River Mountain Watch is hosting a day of water quality testing and education, trash cleanup and a celebration on the Marsh Fork of the Coal River.
The event is part of a regional water testing event called the "Big Dip Day." People across the coal bearing regions of Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky will take water quality samples of their local streams on Saturday, July 20. This is part of a coordinated effort to gain a better understanding about water quality in Appalachia. "Big Dip Day" aims to increase water quality data collection and increase awareness of water quality issues in the region.
According to a press release, Erin Savage, a water quality specialist and regional event organizer with Appalachian Voices, said "Big Dip Day is an opportunity for local people to make an impact in their community. Nobody cares more about local water quality than the people who live near these streams and rivers, the people who rely directly on that water for drinking, watering their garden, as a place where their kids play, and more."
The event is part of the newly launched Appalachian Citizens' Enforcement Project, or ACE. Its a program of the Alliance for Appalachia. A variety of local, regional and national organizations are working together through the Alliance to end mountaintop removal coal mining and create a sustainable, just Appalachia. The ACE Project trains citizens to collect water quality data in their own communities and compiles and public displays information from around the region.
Citizens will meet up at 11 a.m. at the old Girl Scout camp near Jarrell's Bottom in Rock Creek. Contact Coal River Mountain Watch for more details at (304) 854-2182 or online at firstname.lastname@example.com.

WASHINGTON (DTN) -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Monday he is so frustrated with the inability of a working group of industry officials to come up with a proposal for the beef checkoff program that he may use his own authority to make changes.
In a speech to the fly-in of the National Farmers Union, which dropped out of the working group last Saturday, Vilsack said, "It is unfortunate that the groups that met for a considerable period of time could not reach consensus."
The issues, he noted, are both the amount of money to be raised and the decision-making process about how it is spent and who spends it.
The $1 per head collected on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle has not been raising enough money in recent years since cattle herds are smaller.
The checkoff is overseen by the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board (CBB), but it is essentially run by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The Beef Board approved a $40.2 million budget for fiscal year 2015 at its summer meeting, down 2.6% from $41.3 million in 2014, which itself was down 4.2% from 2013.
The NCBA has proposed raising the checkoff to $2, but other farm and cattle groups have said they will not agree to that unless the process for managing the checkoff is made more transparent and other groups can get part of the checkoff budget.
They also maintain that the checkoff subsidizes NCBA, which promotes policies with which they disagree.
Vilsack urged the creation of the working group to try to resolve these problems.
The working group has consisted of the Livestock Marketing Association, National Livestock Producers Association, U.S. Cattlemen's Association, National Farmers Union, American Farm Bureau Federation, American National CattleWomen, Meat Importers Council of America, National Milk Producers Federation, National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Federation of State Beef Councils and the Cattlemen's Beef Board.
The lack of consensus, Vilsack said, leaves the possibilities of continuing "what we are doing, which is satisfactory to no one" or delegating "to me the responsibility to see if there is a new avenue that can be approached."
"If I exercise that discretion at the end of the day it will ultimately require producer involvement," he said. "Producers don't get off the hook by delegating it to the secretary of agriculture."
But Vilsack also signaled he will not have a lot of patience in dealing with groups that dislike his proposal. He said he hoped that after five years as secretary, people realize "I do not shy away from tough decisions."
The working group has been proceeding on the assumption that it would have to ask Congress to make changes to the bill, but the Farmers Union board last week recommended that USDA "consider rewriting the beef checkoff program" under the generic Commodity, Promotion, Research and Information Act of 1996.
When a reporter asked Vilsack on Monday whether he had the authority to rewrite the program, the secretary replied, "We're all about executive action" -- an apparent reference to President Barack Obama's statements that his administration will act as much as possible on its own when Congress refuses to act.
"If you wanted to start a checkoff, 90,000 producers would have to come to me and say start it, then pass the referendum," Vilsack said.
"This system is really complicated, I have had staff write me memos, literally draw me pictures. I don't know how it could be more complicated. In the end my goal is that we have a healthy beef industry and that producers of all sizes can survive."

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A local girl got her only wish on her Christmas list a little early this year.
James Robertson returned from Afghanistan Thursday morning and went straight to his daughter's school. Robertson is a first class construction electrician in the US Navy and got his leave orders approved to come home for the holidays this year.
After serving our country for more than ten years and missing a handful of Christmases, he wanted to make this one a little more special with a surprise.
In a matter of seconds, Robertson turned a typical day at Trask Middle School into what many would think was Christmas morning.
"Honey, I'm home," he said to his daughter Michelle and son James.
After eight months of separation, the Robertson family was reunited.
Not only were friends and family in tears, but also faculty and the students in the 6th grade classroom.
Robertson said he was excited and nervous for the surprise.
"Unfortunately the weather in Afghanistan is not very cooperative so it's possible to have grounded aircraft so I didn't want to raise her hopes and have them dashed because we got a freak snowstorm," he said.
Robertson is home for two weeks before he will have to return to Afghanistan. He said he hopes to come home for good around March.

anonym | 20-05-2012 17:03:23 WARNING! This is a funny joke! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom...an...d her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Moregovernment decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t pass this on like you did. And forget about you. Example 1: Jenny didn''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t believe this and deleted it without even reading the whole thing! A few days later on the monday night, she was woken up by loud footsteps and heavy breathing, there was Clarissa standing there with a huge knife

Barbara Clark chooses Smudge-Free
for her new Micropigmentation career
Barbara Clark became a household name when she won her battle to victory after challenging the NHS when she took them to the European High Court of Human Rights. Barbara developed the most aggressive type of breast cancer in 2005 and without the life-saving drug, Herceptin, she only had a
14% chance of survival. Now thanks to her victory, not only have her chances increased to 52%, but 10,000 other breast cancer sufferers will also benefit.
Since her battle with breast cancer Barbara knew she would have to reduce her stress- load to a minimum and so had to give up her much loved nursing career. She researched the market with much intent in the hope of finding a career that she would enjoy, paid well and that she could put her creative flare to use and so she decided to try her hand at Micropigmentation.
After many months of researching the Semi-permanent Make-up industry she compiled a shortlist of whom she perceived to be the best trainers in the country and she finally decided to train with Andrew Stassi of Smudge-Free. Opposite you can see Barbara in action as she almost finishes her model's Lash-enhancement procedure during her third Module.

Frugality in Practice: Air-Dry Your Clothes (Even Indoors!)
Published on - July 12th, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
Tiffany wrote with a quick energy-saving tip:
I hang up my wet clothes inside during the day to let them dry. When I get home from work, I put them in the dryer for about five minutes to get rid of the wrinkles. I don't have a clothesline, but this works just as well.
I'm not familiar with hanging clothes to dry indoors, but I like the idea. Kris and I have actually begun experimenting with hanging our clothes outside. We had a failed attempt earlier in the year (line was too long, and it rains in Oregon). But now Kris has created a makeshift clothesline running from the maple tree to the raspberry arbor:
I'd like to install something more permanent. Some of our neighbors have real clotheslines, and maybe someday we will too. Fortunately, the internet is full of advice, so when the time comes to build one, it'll be easy to do.
Here are some resources about air-drying clothes:
- Tip the Planet: All you ever wanted to know about air-drying your clothes
- Michael Bluejay: Tips on saving money on clothes drying
- Life in a Nutshell: How to build your own clothesline
Not everyone likes a clothesline. For them, Tiffany's indoor drying tip could be a great alternative.
I dry indoors on a rack, making sure the clothes are as spun-dry as possible (I live in a high-humidity area, have given up and turned on the AC, and don't want it to have to work too hard). When the pollen count is low I dry clothes on a rack outdoors, but like an earlier poster, I have to be careful about allergens. (However, I still leave windows open when I can; I just stick filters in them or stick filters behind the window fans.)
For those worried about rough clothes–put vinegar in your wash water; it deodorizes and acts as a fabric softener, and no, your clothes will not smell in the least like vinegar.
Turn your clothing inside out, and it won't fade, if you dry in the sun. If you dry them indoors, no worries.
Air-dried clothing pills and shrinks less.
I will check out air-dry.com to find a good indoor solution for my sheets … those, alas, never go outside or I would have constant sinus headaches
You could air dry your clothes indoors throughout the year, even if you think you don't have space for a drying rack.
Take a look at the unique Ceiling Drying Rack at http://www.airdry.org
AirDry does not need any floor space. It comprises of six rods that can be individually raised or lowered, and can accommodate a full load of laundry. Imagine how simple it will be to lower the rods and hang your damp laundry right out of the washing machine. Raise each rod and let the warm air trapped near the ceiling finish off the drying.
I'm French and in France most people don't even own a dryer. People are used to air-dry clothes, outdoor or indoor.
I live now in the Boston area and I have to say that Ms Clear is wrong. Outdoor air-drying in Boston is not an April-September activity. Last week I hung my sheets outside in the morning and got them extra-dry in just a couple of hours. The cold air in the winter is very dry and with a combination of wind and sun, it works really well.
Of course, before hanging your laundry outside, be smart and check the weather forecast.
thank-you for reminding us of the economic and environmental benefits of air drying our clothes. My unique wall mount drying racks are designed for indoor use (helps with Oregon winters and can accommodate up to 5 QUEEN sized bed sheets!
The best part is the drying rack extends from the wall only 3.5″ when not in use so it takes up very little space in the home. The sturdy 1″ diameter drying rods won't bend and are made of strong Douglas fir.
If you are interested please visit http://www.hoganwood.com
Hopefully more people will be turning off the most energy intensive appliance in the home.
Thanks for your post!

I grew up in Britain, and find it incredible that Americans are only just realizing that you can dry your clothes outside !! Like needlessly idling the engine in summer or winter for a half hour just to keep the car warm/cool, electric drying is likely to be regarded in the future as a luxury. In much of Europe, people avoid using the tumble dryer except in emergencies, because of its cost. The only place in the US I have been to where outside clothes drying is routine is Amish country in Lancaster County, PA.
I dry my clothes indoors, on a drying rack. One great aspect about living in the US is that the air inside houses is usually very dry, so clothes dry quickly inside. Clothes hung out in the UK or Ireland may take a day or two to dry because of the humidity, and then of course, there is always the rain, which is much more frequent, although less intense, than in the New York/NJ area where I live now.
I have drying rack. I just put my clothes on that and set the drying rack in my tub. Then I clothes the curtains. My guests never know. I use the tub to wash my clothes. I just put in some clothes with some laundry soap and let them sit in the soap for a bit. Then when I get the chance I i get in the tub and use my feet. (like squishing grapes) to put a cycle process on it. Super easy. I do not own a washer or a dryer and I have 3 kids.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9msqdw27c28 for an easier, more organized and pleasing to the eye way of air drying your laundry.
I live in damp, cold, rainy & foggy north Spain and clothes simply never dry up completely. Quite different from other parts of the country. Electricity is horribly expensive, a dryer is a luxury to run. The trick is to use the clothes line when it doesn't rain much, is windy and around noon, so the sun rays help. Weather has changed dramatically in the past decades so months of continuous rain are a childhood memory.
Clothes lines are varied, we have one in the building backyard,then a metal foldable one in the terrace and there is always the emergency resort of hanging them on the radiators, so they will dry in a few hours.
Greetings! Very helpful advice in this particular post! It's the little changes which will make the most significant changes. Thanks for sharing!

Yoga is a traditional art of self development. Hatha yoga is a collection of exercise and respiring for top health. The primary advantages of yoga for runners may commence with the asanas, or postures. Astanga vinyasa ( also called Dynamic or Power ) yoga in runners, develop strength and make chest and shoulders muscles truly robust and flexible lower body and backbone. If you have some time restraints or can't have sufficient time to 'go somewhere' for yoga, you can exercise at home.
When doing this type of exercise, be light with the movements and don't over stretch or strain yourself. A pre natal yoga video or dvd can direct you in this sense. Here we share some handy suggestions to stop or manage diabetes in its primary stage according to Yoga Devanand philosophy. One or two exercises done parsimoniously in the week would be acceptable. Though we strongly counsel you to contact the closest Devanand Yoga Center for a closer and more private instruction and guide. Punctiliously watch what's basically causing stress in your life. Do not forget these advices shouldn't be replaced by a specialised doctor : 1-The first thing is to look after your way of life.
This sort of yoga class will teach poses that reduce backache, swelling of lower limbs, and misalignments from weight gain. An instructional DVD can lead you thru stretches to reduce agony in the parts of your body that are experiencing the most stress. The physical transformations concerned in your pregnancy may lead to discomforts that are foreign to you. Yoga helps to balance all sectors of life by improving physical, psychological, emotional, and non secular health. Some areas that are usually favourable to stretch when pregnant include back, feet, and legs.
It's been practiced for millenia and modern scientists also accept it's benefits. Thru the yoga poses and Pranayama, body achieves physical, mental, and biochemical balance. It's also quite useful in reducing heartbeat and breathing rate, blood pressure, and increases cardio potency.

"The other interesting thing was Jerry Brown's 'one-two-three' counting on his fingers, showing a level of mental organization. He did this sixteen times; Whitman did it only four times. Brown used humor far more than Whitman, putting the audience at ease.
"Whitman wasn't the right candidate. One interesting thing about Jerry Brown's performance: He was able to be aggressive without being angry with an opposite gender candidate, and that's very difficult to do."
