Echo Cancellers
Recent developments in technology have induced new wireless applications designed for enhancing voice quality while providing customers with expanded data-communications choices. Echo cancellers haven't escaped this technological transformation. These voice-quality-enhancement systems have triggered much of the momentum, driving new network architectures and propelling mandatory features into existence.
Industry News
Briefing Room
Demand for higher speed and the remarkable growth in Internet applications have transformed echo-canceller technology into a more intelligent resource, capable of interworking with the new breed of emerging applications.
Network planners who focus on voice quality in wireless communications face new technical challenges today. Many of these challenges can be overcome through the latest innovations in signal processing designed to remedy shortcomings (electric echo, acoustic echo, noise, speech level, distortion) and enhance quality of speech over wireless networks.
TRANSFORMING PRESENT TECHNOLOGY Echo cancellers in wireless networks are no longer synonymous with plain electric echo-cancellation technology, but have become instruments for voice-quality enhancement. They optimize gain level, improve signal-to-noise ratio, cancel acoustic echo and work with a variety of new data architectures -- all in addition to a significantly superior electric echo cancellation. Echo cancellers were never regarded as perfect devices; the fresh breed is required to provide faultless performance. They provide for unclipped, uninterrupted background music during speech pauses, unclipped and echo-free doubletalk performance and exceedingly swift initial convergence -- all for less than half the cost and at more than quadrupled density since one year ago.
Major issues surrounding this transformation include the following developments:
* Recent improvements in cellular coverage and vocoder performance stirred focus to less significant -- yet imperative -- areas of speech quality: echo (electric and acoustic), clippings, optimal speech level and noise reduction.
* Recent advances in DSP MIPS and memory technology made algorithms more economical and, therefore, feasible.
* The smaller size of wireless devices contributed to acoustic echo. The short distance between the receive and transmit parts on the phone increase signal crosstalk and echo.
* The emergence of new data applications has imposed notable interworking requirements.
* The emergence of tandem-free operations standards has transformed the architecture and the nature of echo cancellers.
HYBRID ECHO-CANCELLATION PERFORMANCE The last two years have seen several noteworthy developments molding the performance of electric echo cancellation:
* Initial Convergence. The race for excellence started with a quest for speed of initial convergence. Some echo-canceller vendors introduced a more intelligent non-linear processor (NLP), which has not always proved beneficial since reliability on NLP may result in excessive clipping. Moreover, some implementations placed higher reliance on heuristics, which resulted in poor performance. Other solutions use the concept of dual-mode algorithm, which only can perform as well as the accuracy of its mechanism to detect path change. When this mechanism is implemented via triggers, the success rate may be less than perfect. Consequently, the echo-canceller-detection performance depends on the algorithm knack.
Recent breakthroughs have driven down the need for a mechanism to detect path change. A new algorithm introduced in early 1999 departs from the conventional algorithm, bringing about a markedly smarter, more accurate and faster methodology. The latest (ECP/R5) echo canceller ASIC puts into action this revolutionary approach.
* Near-End Speech Detection. Most textbook algorithms assume that signal levels on both ends of a call are equal, and electrical hybrids provide x-dB loss at the minimum. Under these postulations, a signal is marked "echo" whenever its average level is at least x-dB below the signal. Wireless networks stage a detour around the "equal level" supposition. The wireless end of an average call is normally 6dB to 8dB, or louder than its analog counterpart. These conditions would confuse most of the older echo-canceller algorithms and would set off excessive clipping of the public switched telephone network source signal.
Recent developments take into account the high likelihood of having unequal signal levels, which have led to more intelligent and dynamically adaptive threshold settings. One methodology consists of multiple algorithms, selectively triggered by an array of parameter state values. The latest product line operates efficiently without tradeoffs between speed of convergence and clipping performance.
* Hot Signals. Hot source signals present a challenge because of the corresponding hot echo and the fact that peaks of the hot signal get clipped. Consequently, the average echo-signal level may be high in relation to the clipped peaks and may be misclassified as doubletalk. A false doubletalk classification would freeze adaptation and result in divergence and bursts of echo.
Latest advances have taken special care of hot signals and have incorporated new algorithms designed to detect and adjust for the advent of these episodes.
* Divergence During Doubletalk. Progress in performance during doubletalk is one of the most dramatic recent enhancements. Whereas past and textbook algorithms placed their most weighty reliance on signal-relative level, the new approach employs an additional innovation. The criterion used for determining whether a detected signal is echo or doubletalk tags on a comparison of residual echo to the expected reading under a doubletalk condition before freezing the h register. Contrasting the results, the algorithm then makes the determination as to whether the detected signal is near-end speech or plain echo. An assessment in favor of speech would replace the convoluted signal by the one containing the frozen h register.
The latest G.168 ITU standard confirms the superior performance employing the latest methodology. Test 3b in the G.168 standard document runs under the conditions specified in the G.168 appendix. Echo cancellers employing the latest approach don't exhibit divergence during doubletalk.
* Background Music/Music on Hold. Let's suppose that Beethoven were coloring the far-end background while you were trying to make your point over the telephone. Did you ever interrupt (clip) the crescendo when uttering a "Hmm" after a brief pause? If so, then you must have experienced the working of an echo canceller operating with an old-fashioned on/off type NLP.
Recent developments in NLP tolerate low-level background music sneaking in while speech is present on the other end. It makes for a more natural interaction and contributes to a mood of "being there."
* Nonlinear Transitions. Wireless vocoders use compression algorithms that rely on linear prediction, which perform better when operating within a linear landscape. Traditional echo cancellers provide for on/off NLP and on/off noise-matching functions, giving off discontinuities affecting the linear prediction process. This operation leads to distortion, noise bursts and garbled speech.
Recent developments in NLP and noise-matching algorithms replace the on/off functionality with a smooth transition. Specifically the NLP function has been transformed from a switching function into a gradual loss-insertion maneuver. The loss-insertion rate and its associated step size have been optimized to provide for the best trade-off between speech vocoder and residual echo-elimination performance.
ACOUSTIC ECHO CONTROL Acoustic echo is created by sound waves leaking through a telephone handset from the receiver to the speaker and/or from a handset or a speaker phone receiver via reflections bouncing back from solid objects in the sound path.
Until recently, digital wireless applications implemented echo cancellers to nullify echo generated on the PSTN end only. At the same time, the PSTN end was not supposed to experience any echo because mobile-phone standards require equipment manufacturers to engineer sufficient loss in the acoustic echo path, and the 2-to-4-wire hybrid present in the PSTN is absent in the digital wireless environment.
If wireless-device vendors do not comply with official standards requiring adequate isolation between the receiver and the microphone, acoustic echo can become even more of a concern for wireless service providers. The acoustic-echo problem is much more evident in the case of digital wireless due to the long processing delay (>200ms round-trip) introduced by the speech-compression techniques and the non-linearities introduced by these algorithms.
* Acoustic echo in digital wireless applications is non-linear. The acoustic echo injected into the handset microphone enters a vocoder, which processes it with speech-compression techniques, modifying the signal, while fashioning a non-linear association between the signal and its acoustic echo.
Non-linearity implies that employing the relatively simple mathematical model for eliminating or reducing acoustic echo in the digital wireless environment is analogous to taking antibiotics for the common cold. It is a wrong medicine, and it might cause additional unwanted side effects including distortion, more echo and noise.
Consequently, products employing standard linear convolution on the wireless acoustic echo are expensive and ineffective.
* Acoustic echo in digital wireless applications is non-stationary. Because acoustic echo comes from sound waves bouncing off solid objects, changes in the positions of these objects relative to the microphone change the echo.
Being non-stationary implies that the signal-impulse response is a moving target, and the mathematical model created inside the echo canceller would have to perpetually chase it throughout a call. This makes training on a frequency response useless. By the time the echo canceller has been trained, the solution induces more harm than good. This is one more reason why products employing standard linear convolution on wireless acoustic echo are expensive and ineffective.
The pre-eminent technique for controlling the non-linear non-stationary acoustic echo is via a non-linear operation. However, this method may be subject to biting side effects, including clippingand disturbing background variations. The proper non-linear procedure must take meaningful steps to minimize side effects while identifying acoustic echo and separating it from signals.
Another important parameter in controlling acoustic echo is timing. The traditional non-linear processor operates over a relatively short echo-path delay averaging between 10ms and 64ms. Timing errors could result in troublesome clipping after-effects.
RECENT ADVANCES Reducing acoustic echo without side effects depends on the ability to characterize signals. Classification errors are harmful. The generic spectral characteristics of echo resemble speech, and non-linearities in the echo path give rise to mismatch. Consequently, potential level differences provide the information leading to distinction of echo from its ascendant speech.
Acoustic echo is intermittent, appearing in many sessions while absent in others. Most vendors provide acoustic echo-control capabilities, however effectiveness varies remarkably from one to another depending on detection. False detection may lead to excessive clipping, while lowering the threshold and softening the trigger may lead to excessive acoustic echo. A major enhancement to detection has been introduced via a lined-up noise-reduction capability. This feature contributes to a cleaning up of the signal-level reading before a discriminating algorithm employs it in determining whether or not it spots echo.
APPLICATION/METHODOLOGY Background noises such as street traffic, car engines and wind are transmitted and mixed with the speech signal. This nuisance may interfere with comprehension and cause dissatisfaction. The latest noise-reduction feature embedded in the latest echo cancellers separate the good from the bad.
By the time a signal lays a hand on the echo canceller, the speech and the noise are blended into a gourmet scalded dish, too bitter for a listener taste. Only a grand chemist (or a super chef) is able to either dilute the bitterness or cart some of it off. Diluting the colored noise by pumping white noise entails a masking strategy. It does not solve the problem since it worsens the overall signal-to-noise ratio. The only acceptable strategy is the identification and separation of the noise from the signal content.
Background noise targeted for elimination carries characteristics that can be identified and isolated, such as monotony accompanied by specific spectral properties. When they are found, the algorithm shifts to a more thorough analysis of signal auto-correlation, complemented by level and frequency-range examination. The noise is attenuated, while the lion's share of the signal is passed through.
Given the noise-reduction algorithm characteristics, its strengths would best be exhibited when the noise is monotonic, such as fan noise. At the same time, random, short bursts of noise such as police sirens would not be purged, and would pass through. Most prefer it this way, because the signal-processing product seeks to represent the background atmosphere without interfering with the ability to communicate.
AUTOMATIC LEVEL/GAIN CONTROL There are five basic approaches to automatic level/gain control (ALC or AGC respectively):
* Boosting a low-level signal and carrying it to a fixed target value
* Boosting a low-level signal while providing an equalizer effect by further amplifying base frequencies
* Boosting a low-level signal or attenuating a (too) hot signal and carrying either to a fixed target value
* Boosting a low-level signal to compensate for the listener's surrounding noise
* Boosting a low-level signal or attenuating a hot signal, and carrying either to a dynamically changing target value. The target value, in this case, moves to compensate for the listener's surrounding noise.
ALC/AGC corrects transmission deficiencies and/or compensates for noise. The average wireless signal is louder than the PSTN equivalent. The level inequality adds stress as explained earlier. At the same time, the loud wireless or subdued PSTN signals don't support optimal listening levels. Many phones have volume control, which may grant partial correction while amplifying sidetones. Adaptive adjustments -- compensating for noise -- cannot be duplicated on the handset. The new AGC features adjust signals from the network, eliminating the corresponding rise in noise levels and improving signal-to-noise ratio.
The latest innovation in this area combines the fixed and the adaptive level controls into a single feature. It either amplifies a low-level signal or attenuates a hot signal, carrying whichever to a dynamically changing target value. The target value, in this case, is set to compensate for the noise, ensuring an optimal listening level under any ambiance. This methodology has been rightly named intelligent level control.
BUYER AWARE Echo-cancellation technology has advanced significantly, shaping some of the latest standards requirements. The growth in new echo-canceller vendors creates a stark necessity for understanding the innovations and comprehending the richness in quality and performance features available to sophisticated buyers.
Anyone who says, "An echo canceller is just an echo canceller -- get me the least expensive one," is not dealing with reality. Although the echo canceller represents a minor feature within an average telecommunications offer, its impact on overall perception of quality is enormous. Network planners must realize echo cancellers have evolved to become voice-enhancement systems, and consumers must vote with their wallets to maximize satisfaction by appreciating those who provide them with a "just like being there" quality.

Tibetan monks found chanting text by Oxford philosopherLast week, I blogged about Derek Parfit, an Oxford philosopher featured in a recent issue of The New Yorker. In her article on Parfit, "How to Be Good," Larissa MacFarquhar writes about the apparent affinity between Parfit's view and the Buddhist view of the self. To demonstrate this point MacFarquhar includes a parenthetical anecdote about Tibetan monks chanting lines from Parfit's book, Reasons and Persons. This struck me as fairly remarkable, so I wrote to The New Yorker to try to get the backstory. MacFarquhar put me in touch with Harvard professor of ethics and public health, Dan Wikler, who originally provided her with the story. Quoted below is part of an email that I received from Wikler.

(Honduran, Nicaraguan meat and vegetable-filled tamales)
Image by Wikipedia
Makes 10 to 12 nacatamales
Masa (Dough)
- Masa harina -- 6 cups
- Lard or shortening -- 1 cup
- Salt -- 1 tablespoon
- Sour orange juice (see variations) -- 1/2 cup
- Chicken stock or broth -- 4-5 cups
- Pork butt, cubed -- 3 pounds
- Salt and pepper -- to season
- Rice, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes -- 3/4 cup
- Potatoes, peeled, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds -- 1/2 pound
- Onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds -- 1
- Bell pepper, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds -- 2
- Tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds -- 2
- Mint -- 1 bunch
- Banana leaves, hard spine removed and cut into 10x10-inch rectangles -- 12 pieces
- Aluminum foil, cut into 10x10-inch rectangles -- 12 pieces
- Place the masa harina, lard or shortening and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Blend on a low speed to incorporate the fat into the masa harina and give it a mealy texture. You may have to do this and the next step in two batches if your mixer bowl is not large enough to hold all the ingredients without overflowing.
- With the mixer still on low speed, add the sour orange juice and enough chicken stock to make a soft, moist dough. It should be a little firmer than mashed potatoes. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 2-3 minutes to incorporate some air into the masa and make it fluffier. Cover the bowl and set the masa aside to rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper. Drain the rice. Assemble all of your filling ingredients and assembly items on a large table or work surface. Gather family and friends to help in an assembly line.
- Lay out a banana leaf square with the smooth side up. Place 1 cup of the masa in the middle of the banana leaf and, using wetted hands, spread it out a little. Put about 1/2 cup of pork on top of the masa and sprinkle 1 or 2 tablespoons of rice over the pork. Lay 1 or 2 slices of potato on top of the pork and then top with 1 or 2 pieces of onion, 1 or 2 pieces of pepper and a slice of tomato. Top it all off with a few mint leaves.
- Fold the top edge of the banana leaf down over the filling. Bring the bottom edge of the banana leaf up over this. Then fold in both sides to make a rectangular package. Be careful not to wrap it too tightly or the filling will squeeze out. Flip the package over so it is seam side down.
- Set the tamal in the middle of an aluminum foil square and wrap it up tightly the same way you wrapped up the banana leaf. Set aside and repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 10 to 12 nacatamales in total.
- Add 2 or 3 inches of water to a tamalera or pot large enough to hold all the nacatamales. (You may have to use two pots if you don't have one big enough to hold the nacatamales in one batch.) Place a rack in the bottom or toss in enough wadded up aluminum foil to hold the nacatamales mostly out of the water. Add the nacatamales and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover tightly, reduce heat to low and steam for 3 to 4 hours. Add more water as needed to keep the pot from boiling dry.
- Remove the nacatamales from the pot, take off their aluminum foil covering and serve hot. Each diner opens the banana leaf on his or her own nacatamal before eating.
- Masa Variations: This recipe uses masa made from masa harina flour. If you can find fresh masa, definitely use that instead. The flavor and texture will be better. A variety of ingredients can be added to the masa do give it more flavor. Substitute milk for some or all of the chicken stock. Add some chopped, cooked bacon, along with its fat. Add a cup or two of mashed potatoes to the dough. Mix in some chopped and sautéed onions, garlic or chile peppers.
- Meat Variations: Use chicken instead of pork. For more flavor, season the meat with some sour orange juice, ground achiote or paprika, cumin and minced garlic.
- Filling Variations: Many recipes call for adding a few green olives and raisins or prunes to the filling. Other ingredients sometimes added are capers, sliced hot chiles and even pickles.
- Vegetarian Nacatamales: eliminate meat, use butter, shortening or vegetable oil instead of lard and water or milk instead of chicken stock. You won't find many Nicaraguans who will even touch this version.
- Wrapping: Banana leaves can be found in the frozen section of many Latino and Asian markets. If they aren't available in your area, you can use a double layer of aluminum foil alone. You won't get the extra flavor the banana leaves add though. In Central America, nacatamales are usually wrapped in banana leaves alone and tied like a package with twine or the spines from the banana leaves.
- Sour Orange Substitute: If you can't find sour orange (naranja agria) juice, substitute the juice of 1 orange and 2 limes.
You can use Maseca o Masabrosa. Blend garlic, onion, sazon goya, olive oil, black peper and cumin; add to the maseca and water. Cook at low heat stirring constantly, until the masa separates from the sides of the pot.
Prepare pork or chicken: Heat evoo, add onions, garlic, green pepper until fragant; add a pinch of salt, black pepper and cumin. Add meat cut in pieces, adobo goya, achiote, and chicken stock to cover; bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until done; check seasoning, add if necessary.
Take less than half of the masa and mix w/ some of the juices from the meat. This will be the red masa or recado.
Enssamble the nacatamales as instructed above in the original recipe and steam them for at least two hours. Better next day with a nice cup of black coffee. Buen provecho!
In my family making
In my family making nacatamales is a two day event that everyone participates in and we all look forward to. The above recipe sounds ok if you want something basic and quick, but good, authentic nacatamales are packed with flavot. The above recipe sounds bland. I hope you enjoy my tips to make delicious and authentic nacatamales at home.
Nacatamales are best when the pork has been marinated overnight with achiote, salt, pepper, and a it of olive juice. Always add about three olives to the filling, as well as a few garbanzo beans and a small cube of pork fat. Do not forget to add a few raisins or a prune!!! Hot chilies can be added for people who like spice. The bell pepper should be green - it's the bell pepper that is used most commonly in Latin American cooking.
Adding some ground up chicharron to the masa creates a delicious texture and flavor. My family likes the masa with capers and a little bit of caper juice in the masa as well.
hot chilli for nacatamales?
I have had nacatamales with a single tiny round chili tucked in a corner of the masa that flavored the whole tamale. It was extremely hot. Can you tell me the name of that chili and where it can be obtained.

I have had nacatamales with a single tiny round chili tucked in a corner of the masa that flavored the whole tamale. It was extremely hot. Can you tell me the name of that chili and where it can be obtained.
1) Can I use chicken instead of pork and marinate it overnight in achiote like the pork? I was planning on poaching the chicken.
I am 1/2 Nicaraguan but I never had the joy of learning how to make these, my paternal grandmother always bought them at Christmas time and specialparties.
I want to attempt making these for my daughter's 3rd birthday party on Dec. 5--it seemes fitting to a "special event" and at Christmas time.
2) Can I cook these a day ahead?
3) Day of party, can I steam to heat and how to transpost to an outdoor event?
Thanks--could really use some advice.--Ingrid
i dont wannA know know how to make thelm i wanna know where i can buy thelm can u please help me i live in bakersfield ca is there any where around here
thank u
where 2 buy nacatamales if you cant make em...
hii,,i know a honduras
hii,,i know a honduras restaurant,,in san fransisco,,mission street i don't have the exact addrees,,the name of the restaurant is "el paisa" and a lot of other central america restaurant were u can find not just tamales,,,hope that i help:)
Super easy recipe, read thru
Super easy recipe, read thru directions completely. I wish I had not used the lard, just because I could have used something else.
These Nacatamales remind me of camping making hobo packs, very similar in the simplicity and you can add whatever you have. The dough for the outside was really good. I was in a rush to eat one, so I microwaved it on "Potato" and it turned out great! I did however cook the pork first after I marinated it over night in garlic, orange juice and achiote. Very good. I gave to Honduran friends for Christmas and they enjoyed them. My Spanish is not good enough to see if these Nacatamales were as good as their moms, but they smiled a lot and devoured them. I also included White rice and beans on the side, however I feel the Nacamales are complete. Enjoy! They are fun to make and good to eat!
I would like to learn how to
I would like to learn how to make Christmas season Nicaraguan
nacatamales..can you help me out. I know there are two ways to make them in Nicaragua.

Camera Inspection and Locating
Resource Centre
Our expertly trained service technicians use specialized, state-of-the-art closed circuit television equipment and radio transmitter technology to view inside drain and sewer pipes to identify and precisely pinpoint problems.
This diagnostic capability is invaluable when faced with serious or challenging drain situations. Camera inspection facilitates the troubleshooting of repeat blockage issues such as collapsed pipes, root intrusions or dips/sumps in drain lines. The locating capability eliminates guesswork that can often lead to extremely
costly mistakes if excavation is required.
The camera inspection and locating system is comprised of a miniaturized closed circuit television camera, a radio transmitter and an infrared or white LED lighting system, all attached to one end of a steel sewer cable. The camera is inserted into a drain or sewer line. The lighting system illuminates the inside of the pipe and the CCTV transmits the picture to a TV monitor where it can be viewed and recorded if desired. The radio transmitter sends a signal to a handheld receiver, allowing the technician to precisely pinpoint the position and depth of the transmitter. Used in combination, these tools provide the user a visual picture of any problems in the drainage system as well as the precise position.

Newsflash: Miley Cyrus is now 19 years old. She's no longer starring on Disney TV shows or singing at Disney World as Hannah Montana. In the past year alone, she's made it clear she likes to party, has a dirty mouth on occasion, and enjoys smoking a popular, albeit illegal substance. So it really should come as no surprise that the entertainer was photographed in a provocative pose with a huge penis cake presented to her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, for his birthday last weekend.
Yes, you read that right. Former Disney star + phallic dessert = SHOCKER! Oh, yeah, and she also was said to be "drinking alcohol and partying all night." Hellooooo, Captain Obvious.
*looking at my watch* Yes, I think it's about time to get over it. It's become BLATANTLY obvious that Miley's no squeaky-clean Taylor Swift, and thank goodness for that! (I'm tellin' ya, some day that Taylor is going to have a serious Michael Jackson moment and wonder why she kept dressing like a 5-year-old in frilly dresses and having school-yard crushes well into her double digits.)
More on Miley Cyrus: New Miley Cyrus Tattoo Shows She's a Good Role Model After All
The fact is, whether you like it or not, if Miley was a normal 19-year-old, she would probably be doing these very same things or much worse at college. Everyone knows that age is prime time for extreme partying and throwing caution to the wind to take raunchy photos. How many now almost 30-year-olds still have Facebook photos -- or if they're smart, photos hidden on an old hard drive -- of themselves a.) holding an entire bottle of vodka, b.) posing with some kind of X-rated gag gift, c.) posing inappropriately, or d.) all of the above?
Most of us have been there, done that. But because Miley used to be a kiddie star and is still famous, we think she needs to be held to a higher standard? Pffft, pleeeeease. At 19, the girl just wants to have fun. No big deal, although, some day -- maybe when she has her own kids -- she might wish she wasn't quite so snap-happy, at least not around the penis cake ...
Do these photos shock you or do you think Miley's just having fun like any other normal young adult?
Image via Suntzulynn for LE/Splash News
If something like this is shocking to you then you need to step outside your little pleasantville bubble.
She's 19. Get over it.
Eh, sounds like any 19 year old. I don't see what the big deal is. She's not a young Disney star anymore.
Omigooooosh. Penissss. EwWwWwW.
STFU lol
@Ewww - Who knew Hannah Montana was just a made-up character on a Disney show and that *gasp* perhaps the actress who portrays her doesn't act exactly like her? LOL

Newswise — (May 16 2012)- In just days, a number of generic versions of Lipitor will hit pharmacy shelves. Pfizer's 180-day generic exclusivity agreement for the medication expires at the end of the month. That will bring a host of new generic alternatives, and potential confusion, to more than 3 million Americans looking to control their cholesterol and reduce the cost of their drug therapies.
Clark Kebodeaux, Pharm.D., assistant professor pharmacy practice at St. Louis College of Pharmacy, deals with this issue every day when he's practicing at Walgreens in St. Louis.
He will answer some common questions including:
• Will the price of Lipitor come down?
• Will the new generic alternatives work as well as Lipitor?
• Does the generic medication affect me differently?
• Do the inactive ingredients in the medication have any effect on patients?
• Are there cases where the brand name works better than the generic?
• Questions patients should ask their pharmacist or doctor about switching to generic.
Lipitor is the best-selling prescription drug of all time, and most prescribed brand-name drug in America. Every day about 3.5 million Americans take Lipitor.

Typically, it would look like:

Elephant, I hope you see this reply before you go
Encouragement from me to you to be as pro-active in the discovery of your actual medical problem and sincerest hopes that those employed to help you find it, and deal with it in a satisfying way, will shake the scales off their eyes and see you as a human being with valid feelings and opinions, instead of just another patient. Also, feel free to kick them in the backside if necessary LOL I do hope you will feel better very soon and if chronic pain is in your future, bring the issue up to them now and get them thinking about it. Make sure they write it up in your medical records too so they can't play dumb down the road.
Take care lil' Elephant
Really? Wow.

Octomom's kids better off on reality TV
The alternative has their mom doing porn and off to rehab…
For years, mom-of-14 Nadya Suleman has been adamant she doesn't want to pimp out her kids on reality TV, telling The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2010 that "a parent must provide for their kids, not the other way around."
While her strong stance against going the Jon & Kate Plus 8 route is certainly admirable, it's ultimately led her children into a far darker reality, one that has seen their mother file for bankruptcy, prostitute herself through online porn and just this week check into rehab for an addiction to prescription drugs.
Could chronicling a few play-dates and hectic family mealtimes really be that much worse?
"Nadya wanted to get off the Xanax she was prescribed by her doctor and learn to deal with her stress, exhaustion and anxiety with professional help with a team of doctors," her rep told TMZ. "Nadya wanted to deal with her issues and make sure she is the best mother she can be."
Suleman's quest to be the best mother she can be - providing for her kids while keeping them off the airwaves - has become a more disastrous train wreck with each passing day.
RadarOnline posted audio from the Octomom's father in which he expresses concern about his daughter drinking and driving with his grandchildren, all while a former nanny insists she's seen the 37-year-old hide vodka in water bottles.
These disturbing reports come after repeated accusations of child neglect and photos which surfaced revealing Suleman's home to be overrun with garbage and in complete disarray.
And while last month the single mom proudly showed off her family's new digs, the impressive property has come at a price, purchased with funds from her burgeoning career in the adult industry, escalated from risqué photo shoots and stripping gigs.
But most disturbing are reports at least one of the Octomom's sons was caught viewing a video online of his mother masturbating. Certainly this would be far more traumatizing than a few cameras around the house?!
There's no doubt Suleman's questionable career decisions will have far-reaching implications on her kids, something she was so intent on avoiding in the first place with a reality show.
The substance abuse issues brought on by the stress and anxiety of trying to raise a family of 14 on her own are bound to be mirrored down the road in her children, all conceived through obsessive IVF treatments over a period of eight years while Suleman was broke and single.
It's time the Octomom swallowed her pride and admitted a lucrative reality TV gig may actually be the healthier decision for her family, because really, do they have any privacy at this point anyway?

Man arrest on assault chargesNovember 23,2012WEST RUTLAND A West Rutland man will be in court on Monday to answer to charge of aggravated domestic assault stemming from an incident early Thursday morning.
Matthew Shook, 34, was arrested around 1:40 a.m. Thursday after police responded to a domestic disturbance at Jens Motel on Route 4A in West Rutland.
Police said an initial investigation showed that Shook was involved in a verbal and physical altercation with a woman, who suffered some injuries as a result.
Shook was also found to be in violation of court-ordered conditions of release after a preliminary breath test showed he had been drinking, police said.
Shook was arrested and held at the Rutland jail on $5,000 bail.
He faces a felony charge of aggravated domestic assault and a misdemeanor charge of violating conditions of release.MORE IN This Just InVGS answers state Full StoryPedestrian hurt in Friday crash Full StoryFAIR HAVEN — The town of Fair Haven is planning to convert its streetlights from...

The Top 20 Cubs Prospects - #10 Drew Rundle
Brought to you by The Best Team Ever: A Novel of America, Chicago, and the 1907 Chicago Cubs (read Kurt's review here, read Rob's review here, and buy the book for somebody for Christmas!)
Prospect #10 Drew Rundle
Ah, and at long last we get to the big boys! Rundle is actually a lot like many, many Cubs offensive prospects. He's very hit and very miss. He's also only 20 years old. He was picked by the Cubs in the 14th round of the '06 draft, and while he has a lot of potential, his high placement in the Cubs system just goes to show how weak they are - some teams wouldn't give him a second glance.
In 556 career minor league at bats, Rundle has missed a lot - he's batting .232 with 13 homers, 18 steals, and he's struck out 196 times. So, why is he rated 10th?
Mostly it's because of two things - at 20, he's going to flesh out more power, and he's also got great plate discipline. Rundle has drawn 77 career walks, and his OBP is more than 100 points higher than his career average. All he needs is to close the holes in his swing and he might be surprisingly effective.
Scouting Report
Rundle brings the following to the table:
- Multi-positional. Drew plays the outfield and first base.
- Huge power potential. Drew is 6'4, but weighs only 180 pounds. If he can put on 20 or 30 pounds of muscle, watch out.
- Plus speed. He's never going to start referring to himself in the first person like Ricky, but he might steal 10 to 20 at the ML level someday.
- Tremendous patience at the plate. He's the anti-Cub template in a lot of ways.
- Minus contact - would find a way to strike out in a tee ball game.
Hey, this guy could be something impressive. Then again, I could become the Prime Minister of Canada. Rundle's failure to hit at Peoria in 67 at bats is concerning, although it's probably too low a sample size to make quick judgments about.
In 2009, he may be a star slugger for the Chiefs, or he might find himself quickly filling out applications to teach gym class back in San Diego. Let's hope the Cubs have the sense to figure out how to improve his contact skills.
Rating: B
Odds of reaching the Majors = Adam Dunn hits 50 homeruns in a season
Odds of becoming a successful player at the Major League Level = Adam Dunn becomes a .290 hitter in a season

Peak fossil fuels by 2017
View Single Post
Feb27-12, 09:58 AM

That conclusion is not justified, especially given the recession was Fall 2008 and imports have has been falling since 2005.
From the plot it is obvious that the numbers have
been in decline since 2005 and looking at the raw data confirms this (with minor dips lasting no longer than a year).
Yes economic slow downs deserve some of the blame for energy imports and consumption, but other factors apply apply including improvements in economic energy intensity and increase in domestic supply:
US energy intensity (energy per unit of economic output) has been cut in half since 1980,
and improved 10% the period 2007 to 2010.
I would suggest this is a factor of technology, rather than consumption. As we have seen, consumption has been increasing while production decreasing since 1980.
US domestic crude production has been rising since ~2007 (up 1 mbbl/day), as have natural gas liquids (up ~500kbbl/day)
Definitely an increase (although it is closer to 0.7 mbbl) and much of this can be attributed to the Bakken. Unfortunately, as we know from every other source of hydrocarbon, production peaks and then drops off - moreso with respect to the shale plays as, without constant hydraulic fracturing and drilling, production drops off rapidly.
3. Ethanol production has doubled in the last couple years (see graph from earlier post), now 1 mbbl/day.
Those three things contribute strongly to the reduction in imports and consumption.
They contribute, yes; whether they contribute
is a very different thing. They offset some increases in consumption, but they do not come anywhere close to offsetting the historical rise in consumption and the drop in production. Ethanol is, at best, a stop gap and it doesn't account for much of the overall hydrocarbon picture.
A fair point.
Note though that energy prices have a way to go before they are constant around the world, and exports to the highest bidder immediate. Natural gas for instance is priced overseas at several multiples of the of the US price (for now). Bakken oil sells at a $30/bbl discount locally (for now). I doubt a squeeze in supply meeting demand becomes serious enough to stop a build out in more energy infrastructure.
Think of it as a a feedback loop. In order to maintain supply to match demand, one needs to expend energy. Greater energy must be spent in order to meet greater demand. As production increases, resources are depleted quicker. As resources are depleted, more energy must be expended in order to drill up and find new resources. So, in order for us to keep pace with growing demand, we must spend energy to speed up production and to fill any voids left by depleted resources. We begin to exploit unconventional sources more and more and our dependance shifts from the more conventional sources (which are all on the decline). To get energy, we must spend energy and the energy we need to spend will only increase.
The US is not an isolated case in the energy cycle. Despite any growing supply from within, consumption still outpaces domestic production by about 40% (compared to 20% in 1980). It is quite apparent that new technologies and new discoveries are not abating the US need for imported hydrocarbons. We can nickle and dime the numbers until the end of time, but the long term historical trends are such that the US relies rather heavily on foreign production of hydrocarbons. In order to bridge that 40%, there will need to be some sort of technological epiphany or the fundamentals of geology/thermodynamics will need to be turned on their collective ears. In the face of a huge global shift in energy consumption, the US will need to make some pretty significant strides in the next decade or so.
The depends on the efficiency of the biofuel method and the consumption at the time. That 500 bbl/acre-year engineered bacteria approach (should it work) requires 13 million acres to meet all of US current consumption (18 mbbl/day). That compares well to the 90 million acres in use currently for all US corn crops, not that such an approach needs arable land.
These forms of biofuel generation are still in their infancy. For as long as ethanol has been used and produced in the US, it still accounts for a fraction of US fuel.

Arlington Community Church is more than a name, it really defines who we are.
In Micah 6:8, the Lord speaks through the prophet, saying, "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
ACTING JUSTLY (Arlington) – Through regular prayer for the County and ongoing involvement in serving those who have need, the ACC congregation is dedicated to help provide health and strength in Arlington.
LOVING MERCY (Community) – The "new commandment" that Jesus gave was to love one another as He has loved us. We seek to do this by showing genuine love and care (through practical service) to neighbors and one another. This creates an inextricable link to the "great commission" given by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8.
WALKING HUMBLY WITH GOD (Church) – Our worship of God is filled with praise, gratitude and humility because we have done nothing to save ourselves, remove our sin or be reconciled to God. It is only through Jesus Christ that we receive the grace, mercy and forgiveness necessary for such reconciliation. By faith in Christ alone, we become children of God, indwelled by His Holy Spirit, and called His Church.
Arlington Community Church | 6040 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA. 22205, USA

Students at North Platte Community College are getting smart about their credit.
It's all part of a financial literacy program sponsored by the American Bankers Association.
Business students at North Platte Community College are learning the basics of credit.
"I think it's important for them to figure out how to build good credit from the get go and not get into the problem of debt at an early age. I have traditional students who have been there and can verify "stay out of it if you can help it,'" says Cathy Nutt, NPCC Business Instructor.
Hans Julius with NebraskaLand National Bank spoke with students about the importance of taking charge of their finances.
"They are going to be bombarded with it right off the gate at levels that those of us who have already gone through the college years are going to be much more bombarded and attacked with those credit offers," he says.
And with the recent downturn in our economy, bankers say the topic is more important now, than ever.
"If I have one or two students that it impacts it's worth the effort. I've had students in the past that have come back and tell me they started savings accounts or that they worked to clean up their credit. I believe this woman that was asking the question will probably try to work on improving her credit score," Nutt says.

Born and raised in The Netherlands, Europe, Nicolay's passion for music has dominated his life for as long as he can remember. He was brought up with equal parts of Stevie Wonder and Neil Young, and as a youth, most of his days were spent listening to whatever music he could get his hands on.
Nicolay's early love for classical music drove him to seek a formal music education. A true multi-instrumentalist, Nicolay is proficient in playing piano and keyboards, guitar, bass and drums. Nicolay's diverse understanding of music led him to play in several Hip-Hop and R&B bands, opening up for artists such as K-Ci & JoJo, Boyz II Men, MC Lyte and many others.
After being a live musician and bandleader for nearly a decade, Nicolay started producing in 2000, and shortly thereafter, came across Phonte Coleman of Little Brother thr...

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - New Iberia lawyer Jeff Landry has
handily won the Republican nomination in the 3rd Congressional
District and heads to the November general election.
Landry defeated former state House Speaker Hunt Downer in
Saturday's GOP runoff election after a months-long, attack-laden
Landry will face Democrat Ravi Sangisetty in the Nov. 2 election
for the seat representing all or parts of 13 southeast Louisiana
The race results were largely expected after Landry fell fewer
than 200 votes short of victory in a three-candidate field for the
August primary. He was considered the favorite heading into the
runoff and picked up the backing of much of the Republican Party
hierarchy over Downer, who was criticized for his decades-long
Democratic past.

Crazy for shopping
Shop till you drop?
Sunday 10:02 AM, 06/07/2008
Nicky Hilton spent her Fourth of July shopping with a girlfriend at Cross Creek in Malibu but left empty handed. Was she looking for an outfit for tonight's party?

Paris Hilton for a good cause!
Sunday 9:59 AM, 29/06/2008
Socialite Paris Hilton attends the opening of "The Good Life", the photographs of Slim Aaron and Murray Garrett at the Photographers Gallery in Los Angeles. She looked stunning all in white! Paris wore a plain but cute white dress, matching handbag and high heels. She came along with her sister Nicky Hilton who was more colorful in a blue and green dress. As Paris so often does these days, she also brought her boyfriend Benji Madden, this time all dressed up in a white shirt, a smart black jacket and sunglasses! The event benefited P.S Arts, an organization for childrens arts education. Since Paris is a woman with many talents within the arts area it's not surprising that she chooses to support these kind if events!

Saturday 5:34 PM, 14/06/2008
Dita Von Teese looked Goth-glam as usual when she left The Wolseley Restaurant in Mayfair, London yesterday after having dinner with a friend. The burlesque star was dressed in a formfitting black dress with buttons down the front and the cherry on top was the big glittery brooch Dita had fastened on her shoulder! Blood red lips and 40's curls completed the look and we the outfit thumbs up! Only Dita can pull a look like that off that well!

Mischa Barton corrects her smile!
Thursday 6:37 PM, 12/06/2008
Mischa Barton seems to have channeled Pocahontas when she put this outfit on! Wearing fringed boots, a suede skirt with flowers on and a white t-shirt (without a bra) Mischa arrived to Dr Lowenberg and Lituchys cosmetic dentist office in New York yesterday. We guess Mischa was there to correct a problem with her teeth and when she smiled and bared her pearly whites it was obvious that there is room for improvement!

Thursday 6:06 PM, 12/06/2008
Fashionista Nicky Hilton has found a real gentleman boyfriend which David Katzenberg proved when he held the door open for his pretty lady as the couple left Mr. Chow in LA last night. Nicky looked great as usual in all black with a leather jacket and black shoes with a white toe but wasn't very keen on being photographed. The heiress moved quickly to her Range Rover with her lover and jetted off in a flash!
