Dell UP2414Q: The 24-inch 4K monitor that finally brings 4K to the desktop PC, for $1400 December 2, 2013 at 2:15 pm
Rejoice, under-served desktop PC masses: Dell has leaked its plans to sell a 24-inch 4K desktop monitor, the UP2414Q. There's no word on pricing (I guarantee it will be at least $1,000), but specs-wise the 24-inch UP2414Q is truly awesome: 3840×2160, 10-bit color, 178-degree viewing angles, 99% of Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB, and factory calibrated color to Delta E less than two.
More money than sense: Playing the PS4 on the Xbox One November 20, 2013 at 3:23 pm
One of the defining features of the Xbox One is that it has an HDMI input socket, allowing you to plug a wide range of media devices into the console. The intended purpose of this HDMI socket is to allow you to watch TV and play games side-by-side on the same screen — but in practice, you can plug just about anything into the Xbox One's HDMI socket, including the PS4. And so that's what we did — on a 65-inch 4K television no less.
Qualcomm announces the Snapdragon 805, an ARM chip ready for a 4K world November 20, 2013 at 1:27 pm
Qualcomm isn't content to rest on its laurels with the Snapdragon 800. It's already sampling the next-generation Snapdragon 805 with support for 4K video and even faster ARM cores.
HDMI 2.0 released: 18Gbps of bandwidth allowing for 4K @ 60 fps, 32 audio channels September 4, 2013 at 7:52 am
Kicking off the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, the HDMI Forum has released HDMI 2.0. HDMI 2.0 introduces support for 4K (2160p) at 50 and 60 FPS, 3D playback at 4K resolution, up to 32 audio channels (up from a paltry eight), and some interesting features such as "dynamic auto lip-sync" and the ability to deliver dual video streams to multiple users on the same screen. The max throughput of HDMI 2.0 is a beefy 18Gbps (up from 10Gbps), and you'll be glad to hear that your stupidly expensive HDMI cable will continue to work with the new spec.
Goodbye 4K: $17,000 12K gaming PC pushes 1.5 billion pixels per second July 26, 2013 at 2:15 pm
4K displays are slowly trickling out, and slowly trickling down in price. The problem with the resolution, though, is that not only are the displays very expensive, but there isn't really any native 4K media. Some games and videos look fine when upscaled to 4K, but that's not true 4K. Though the resolution is still too young to even have native media, one man decided 4K was a thing of the past, and built a 12K gaming PC.
H.265 benchmarked: Does the next-generation video codec live up to expectations? July 23, 2013 at 9:05 am

Asus 4K monitor is just $4K, but don't get too excited: Your computer isn't powerful enough to use it June 4, 2013 at 9:30 am
In a cute quirk of fate, at Computex 2013 Asus has announced that its consumer-oriented, IGZO-based 31.5-inch 4K monitor will cost $4k when it's released in the US later this month. Before you all run out and buy one, though, ask yourself one question: Do you have a graphics card that's actually capable of outputting 4K?
Asus launches the first consumer-oriented 4K monitor, yours for around $5,000 May 31, 2013 at 10:36 am
Asus has announced that its 31.5-inch PQ321 monitor, which appears to be the first consumer-oriented 4K desktop monitor, will go on sale in the US in June. There is no word on pricing, but it should be around $5,000. This monitor is also notable because it's one of the first displays on the market to use IGZO technology, rather than silicon-based LCD or OLED.
Xbox One and PS4: Analyzing their support for 4K video and gaming May 28, 2013 at 11:39 am

Is Belkin's Thunderbolt Express Dock enough to compete with the USB juggernaut? April 30, 2013 at 4:04 pm
Thunderbolt has been around for two years now, and it still has yet to gain much momentum. Available devices are still rare and expensive, while most PCs don't even ship with support. Thunderbolt enthusiasts aren't giving up, though. With an upcoming speed increase to the spec and some exciting peripherals launching, it's clear that Intel isn't content with Thunderbolt as a niche interface.

MUST READ Op-ed: The Republicans Have a Lot of Leverage | by Keith Koffler/
I don't think President Obama wants to go down as the worst president in history, do you?
Well, that's what going over the fiscal cliff will make him. And that's why the Republicans have a lot a leverage.
The massive spending cuts and tax increases set to kick in January 2 will cause a second recession, from which we may not emerge for many months. The economy may not really get going for years. Obama will have presided over two terms of economic disaster. It will ruin his legacy, and sow the seeds for a major Republican revival.
Republican revival? But the Republicans are going to get blamed, you say.
They will, in the short run. But in the end, it will be the president who failed to somehow make a deal. Presidents are ultimately responsible for their presidencies. The good ones tame their enemies, pick off some of them and make them allies, and get a good result. The bad ones go over fiscal cliffs.
The history books will say that Obama had to deal with a recalcitrant Congress. That will be the second thing school kids learn. But the first thing they will learn is that Obama sucked.
I still believe, despite the results of the 2012 election, that voters in the end blame those in power for wielding power ineffectively. Get out the vote operations and a charismatic candidate can only buy you so much time against reality.
The massive spending cuts will also eviscerate the U.S. military, resulting in bolder actions by our enemies that will make Obama seem weak and pitiful. Not only will the president's economic record implode, but his foreign policy will be hamstrung. After all, we get stuff done in the world, ultimately, because people are afraid of us. Or they respect us, which is the same thing.

Passport to Fitness
January 14, 2012
9 am - 12:30 pm
Enjoy a morning full of FREE sample classes during our Passport to Fitness event on January 14, 2012. Bayside, Bow Creek, Great Neck, Kempsville and Princess Anne Rec Centers will offer a variety of mini-classes including Zumba®, RIP, Kickboxing, Core Balance, Tabata & more! Also, Kempsville will be offering water fitness classes!
"Don't be too concerned about what you eat between Christmas and New Year's, be concerned about what you eat between New Year's and Christmas"
- Author Unknown
Check out the Winter Catalog (Body Transformation begins on page 4) for specific class dates and times. Registration begins Saturday, January 7.
Look for RIP on Bayside and Princess Anne's group fitness schedules in January.
Interval training workouts alternate segments of higher intensity exercise with lower intensity exercise or active rest. Studies have shown that interval training burns more calories and fat post-workout, making it a great format for weight-loss. It trains your cardiovascular system to work more efficiently and the varying intensities reduce the risk of over-training. Also, it's just more fun and helps prevent burn-out from constant repetition.
One style of interval training that is quickly gaining in popularity is Tabata. This format gets its name from Dr. Izumi Tabata, a former assistant coach with the Japanese speed skating team. Although Irisawa Koichi, the team's head coach pioneered the idea for the training, it was Dr. Tabata who analyzed the performance of the athletes and documented its effectiveness.
Dr. Tabata's findings and the more recent research studies have been remarkable. Well-conditioned athletes have seen tremendous improvements in their performance. To see dramatic improvement in individuals that were already in good physical condition is a definite testament to the effectiveness of the workouts.
What Makes Tabata Different? First of all, the lengths of the intervals are much shorter than those found in traditional interval workouts. The high intensity interval is only 20 seconds long followed by a rest and recovery interval of 10 seconds. This 20 seconds 'on,' 10 seconds 'off' pattern is repeated eight times using the same exercise to make up one block of Tabata.
The second factor that makes Tabata unique is the intensity of the 20 second intervals. Participants should reach an exertion level of at least 8 or 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. In other words, for the 20 seconds you will be working at maximum effort.
Tabata can be adapted to almost any exercise. Traditional cardio exercises like sprints or jump rope work great. Basic strength exercise such as squats, push-ups or burpies work well for a mixture of strength conditioning. Remember the goal is maximum effort, speed and safety, so no heavy weights. If the format is followed correctly, you will reach the desired level without them.
Where is Tabata Offered? We are excited to start offering a registered class called Tabata Express at Great Neck as part of our early morning fitness lineup in January. It's a ½ hour of intense, small group training that will get your day started off right. Check out our Winter Catalog (page 6) for class times and dates. Registration begins Saturday, January 7!
We have also adapted the Tabata format to the water at Bow Creek. You'll find Aqua Tabata on our group fitness schedule on Monday nights at that location. The same high intensity principles apply; they've just been adapted to the water.
Is Tabata Right for You? Because this type of interval training is intense and will push you to your exercise limits, there are a couple of things to consider before you give it a try. Participates should have a base workout plan established before adding this to their routine. They should be free of cardio risk factors such as unchecked high blood pressure and obesity and they should be able to perform a wide range of basic functional movements without joint pain. This format would not be suitable for beginners. It is also recommended that this type of training only be done 1 to 2 times per week. It should serve as part of a balanced workout schedule and not as your sole source of exercise.
All Virginia Beach Recreation Centers, Owl Creek Tennis Center, and staffed City Parks & Facilities will be closed on December 23, 25 & 26 and January 1, 2 & 16. They will close at noon on December 24 and at 5 pm on December 31. Neighborhood parks and canoe/kayak launches remain available for use.
Don't forget that your membership is good at all six Virginia Beach Recreation Centers! If your usual center is closed for maintenance, take the opportunity to visit another center. Use this locator to help you find one!

A judge sentenced a Diboll woman to 25 years in prison in connection to her sexual relationship with a 13-year-old boy in 2011 during a district court hearing Monday morning.
The sentencing follows a February hearing in which Natalie Deshan Johnson, 33, pleaded guilty to the charge in Judge Barry Bryan's courtroom. Bryan's decision follows a pre-sentence investigation.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the victim told investigators he had sex with Johnson three times at Ewing Park at the State Highway 103 East bridge and three or four times at her apartment in Diboll.
According to the affidavit, the boy was staying with his grandparents on Aug. 6 and 7 of 2011 when they told his parents that he was missing. The boy told his parents that he had slipped away from their residence and Johnson picked him up and took him to his apartment, where he stayed the night of Aug. 6 and had sex with her that night and the next morning. She dropped him off in Moffett later that day, where he called his grandfather to pick him up, he said.
The boy's parents then questioned him about his disappearance, and he told them about his sexual relationship with Johnson.
The boy gave the same statements in interviews with sheriff's office investigators and at the Angelina Alliance for Children.
Phone records showed more than 1,500 calls and text messages to and from the boy's phone to Johnson's phone.
The Angelina County Sheriff's Office arrested Johnson in August.

Considered by many to be the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off reveals the hilarious backstage antics and drama of a group of small-town actors attempting to perform a dreadful flop called Nothing On. This play-within-a-play is a comedic triumph of slamming doors, falling trousers and flying fish. Written by award-winning English novelist and playwright Michael Frayn (Copenhagen, Democracy), this comedy of errors remains a crowd pleaser more than 30 years after its 1982 debut. It was also turned into a film in 1992 starring Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve and John Ritter. Learn More

Thought the lead, Albein was sensational. Great voice and movement. Hamilton can't sing or dance and is a bit wooden. He played Billy Flynn in Chicago? The sets were on the cheap, but the cast was very good, and all in all an entertaining evening.

Now we know one of the reasons for record foreclosures in metro Atlanta.
The Obama administration's foreclosure prevention program was blasted in Washington on Tuesday as "ineffective," ACJ staffers Scott Trubey and Bob Keefe report.
The Congressional Oversight Panel over the program criticized the Treasury Department for not holding accountable the big mortgage companies and servicers.
The Home Affordable Modification Program gives mortgage companies financial incentives to modify mortgages for struggling homeowners and gives borrowers incentives to repay the reworked loans and stay in their homes, the reporters write.
But borrowers have complained of a baffling bureaucracies, botched paperwork and abuses by banks apparently ill-equipped to handle the crush of struggling homeowners seeking aid, Trubey and Keefe report.

Economics, I agree with you and add that underemployment will be at around 20%. It's disgusting but we are rapidly becoming a second rate country economically speaking. If congress and the president can't come to terms on taxes how will they ever effectively deal with unemployment and jobs and all that needs to be fixed to bring business back to the U.S.?

Any time we try to alter free markets we are fixing for disaster. This applies when we are greedy on economic upswings, as well as try to soften the blow of downturns. Without a doubt I am certain that our current recovery would have been more meaningul and faster if we had not tried to bail out participants in the 2008 collapse. Softening the blow really only rendered the recovery less effective!

The foreclosure mess has been mishandled from the beginning. Somebody should have realized early on this was not your normal meltdown. Bush and Obama should have collaborated on a proposal right after the election since Bush hadn't done anything yet. At this point, it's hard to say what to do. It looks like to me it would be better to let the owners live in the houses for free if they'll just keep them maintained until things are back to something resembling normal. Or what about matching vacant homes with homeless vets? Or homeless, period? We're sitting on $55 trillion in household wealth, why not put it to good use?

FDA approves Tasigna® for newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia patients, data demonstrate major advance over Gleevec®
- Pivotal data from ENESTnd published in today's New England Journal of Medicine
- In head-to-head trial, Tasigna reduced leukemia-causing protein faster than Gleevec, resulting in lower rates of cancer progression even as early as 12 months1
- Regulatory submissions under way worldwide, with applications currently filed in the EU, Switzerland and Japan
East Hanover, NJ, June 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Following a priority review, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tasigna® (nilotinib) 150 mg capsules for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) in chronic phase. The effectiveness of Tasigna is based on major molecular response and cytogenetic response rates. The study is ongoing and further data will be required to determine long-term outcome. With this approval, Tasigna becomes the first new therapeutic option for newly diagnosed patients since the introduction of Gleevec® (imatinib mesylate) tablets*, providing a major advance for patients with this blood cancer.
The US approval was based on results of the ENESTnd (Evaluating Nilotinib Efficacy and Safety in Clinical Trials of Newly Diagnosed Ph+ CML Patients) Phase III clinical trial, which were published today in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
"With the faster and deeper responses we are seeing with Tasigna, newly diagnosed CML patients will have a new and more effective treatment option," said Hervé Hoppenot, President, Novartis Oncology.
Tasigna is a potent and selective inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl protein that causes production of cancer cells in Ph+ CML2,3. It is also active against a broad spectrum of Bcr-Abl mutations associated with resistance to Gleevec4. The first clinical trials of Tasigna began only 21 months after its discovery, with the drug receiving its first regulatory approval as a second-line treatment in 2007.
In its pivotal head-to-head trial against Gleevec, Tasigna demonstrated improved treatment efficacy, as has been previously reported. Tasigna reduced Bcr-Abl faster than Gleevec, resulting in lower rates of cancer progression even as early as 12 months1. Deep reduction of Bcr-Abl, known as a major molecular response, is considered to be a critical therapeutic milestone associated with good long-term outcomes for patients with Ph+ CML5-7. Treatment with Tasigna led to higher rates of both major molecular response and complete cytogenetic response (reduction in the level of Philadelphia chromosome that is the hallmark of this cancer) compared with Gleevec1.
The randomized, open-label, multicenter ENESTnd trial compared the efficacy and safety of Tasigna versus Gleevec in adult patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ CML in chronic phase1. It is the largest global randomized comparison of two oral therapies ever conducted in newly diagnosed Ph+ CML patients in chronic phase.
Two patients on the nilotinib arm progressed to either accelerated phase or blast crisis while 17 patients on the imatinib arm progressed to either accelerated phase or blast crisis. In the study, Tasigna was well tolerated. Fewer patients discontinued due to adverse events from the Tasigna 300 mg twice daily arm of the study compared to the Gleevec 400 mg once daily arm. No patients in the study had a prolongation of the QT interval >500 milliseconds1. In addition, no sudden deaths occurred with either treatment4.
Regulatory submissions for Tasigna in the first-line indication are under way worldwide, with applications currently filed in the EU, Switzerland and Japan.
*Known as Glivec® (imatinib) outside the US, Canada and Israel.
About Tasigna
Tasigna® (nilotinib) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) in chronic phase. The effectiveness of Tasigna is based on major molecular response and cytogenetic response rates. The study is ongoing and further data will be required to determine long-term outcome.
Tasigna is indicated for the treatment of chronic phase and accelerated phase Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML) in adult patients resistant or intolerant to prior therapy that included imatinib. The effectiveness of Tasigna is based on hematologic and cytogenetic response rates. There are no controlled trials demonstrating a clinical benefit, such as improvement in disease-related symptoms or increased survival.
Tasigna has been approved in more than 80 countries for the treatment of chronic phase and accelerated phase Ph+ CML in adult patients resistant or intolerant to at least one prior therapy, including Gleevec. The effectiveness of Tasigna for this indication is based on hematologic and cytogenetic response rates. There are no controlled trials demonstrating a clinical benefit, such as improvement in disease-related symptoms or increased survival.
Tasigna important safety information
Tasigna can cause a possible life-threatening heart problem called QTc prolongation. QTc prolongation causes an irregular heartbeat, which may lead to sudden death.
Your doctor should check the electrical activity of your heart with a test called an electrocardiogram (ECG):
- Before starting Tasigna
- 7 days after starting Tasigna
- With any dose changes
- Regularly during Tasigna treatment
You may lower your chances for having QTc prolongation with Tasigna if you:
- Take Tasigna:
- On an empty stomach. Do not take Tasigna with food.
- At least 2 hours after eating any food, and
- Wait at least 1 hour before eating any food
- Avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract while taking Tasigna. Food and grapefruit products increase the amount of Tasigna in your body.
- Avoid taking other medicines or supplements with Tasigna that can also cause QTc prolongation.
- Tasigna can interact with many medicines and supplements and increase your chance for serious and life-threatening side effects.
- Do not take any other medicine while taking Tasigna unless your doctor tells you it is okay to do so.
Call your doctor right away if you feel lightheaded, faint or have an irregular heartbeat while taking Tasigna. These can be symptoms of QTc prolongation.
What is Tasigna?
Tasigna is a prescription medicine used to treat a type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) in adults who:
- Are newly diagnosed, or
- Are no longer benefiting from previous other treatments, including treatment with imatinib (Gleevec®), or
- Have taken other treatments, including imatinib (Gleevec®), and cannot tolerate them
It is not known if Tasigna is safe or effective in children.
Who should not take Tasigna?
Do not take if you have:
- Low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood
- Long QTc syndrome
What should I tell my doctor before starting Tasigna?
Tasigna may not be right for you. Before taking Tasigna, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you have:
- Heart problems
- Irregular heartbeat
- QTc prolongation or a family history of it
- Liver problems
- Had pancreatitis
- Low blood levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood
- A severe problem with lactose (milk sugar) or other sugars. The Tasigna capsules contain lactose. Most patients who have mild or moderate lactose intolerance can take Tasigna.
- Had a surgical procedure involving the removal of the entire stomach (total gastrectomy)
- Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Tasigna may harm your unborn baby. If you are able to become pregnant, you should use effective birth control during treatment with Tasigna. Talk to your doctor about the best birth control methods to prevent pregnancy while you are taking Tasigna.
- Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if Tasigna passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take Tasigna or breastfeed. You should not do both.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non prescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.
Tasigna can interact with many medicines and supplements and increase your chance for serious and life-threatening side effects. See "What is the most important information I should know about Tasigna?"
Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them and show it to your doctor and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.
How should I take Tasigna?
- Take Tasigna exactly as your doctor tells you to take it. Do not change your dose or stop taking Tasigna unless your doctor tells you.
- Tasigna is a long-term treatment.
- Your doctor will tell you how many Tasigna capsules to take and when to take them.
- Do not take Tasigna with food. Take Tasigna at least 2 hours after you eat and at least 1 hour before you eat.
- Swallow Tasigna capsules whole with water. If you cannot swallow Tasigna capsules whole, tell your doctor.
- Do not drink grapefruit juice, eat grapefruit, or take supplements containing grapefruit extract at any time during treatment. See "What is the most important information I should know about Tasigna?"
- If you miss a dose, just take your next dose as scheduled. Do not make up for a missed dose.
- If you take too much Tasigna, call your doctor or poison control center right away. Symptoms may include vomiting and drowsiness. During treatment with Tasigna your doctor will do tests to check for side effects and to see how well Tasigna is working for you. The tests will check your:

About Gleevec8
Gleevec® (imatinib mesylate) tablets are indicated for the treatment of newly diagnosed adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome–positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) in the chronic phase (CP). Gleevec is also indicated for the treatment of patients with Ph+ CML in blast crisis (BC), accelerated phase (AP), or in CP after failure of interferon-alpha therapy
Gleevec important safety information
Gleevec is often associated with edema and occasionally severe fluid retention. Patients should be weighed and monitored regularly for signs and symptoms of fluid retention, which can be serious or life-threatening.
Cytopenias have been reported. Complete blood counts should be performed weekly for the first month, biweekly for the second month, and periodically thereafter as clinically indicated (for example, every 2-3 months).
Dose adjustments may be necessary due to hepatotoxicity, other nonhematologic adverse reactions, or hematologic adverse reactions.
In Ph+ CML trials,* severe (NCI Grades 3/4) lab abnormalities—including neutropenia (3.6%-48%), anemia (1%-42%), thrombocytopenia (<1%-33%), and hepatotoxicity (approx 5%)—and severe adverse reactions (NCI Grades 3/4), including hemorrhage (1.8%-19%), fluid retention (eg, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and ascites) (2.5%-11%) and superficial edema (1.5%-6%), and musculoskeletal pain (2%-9%) were reported among patients receiving Gleevec. Severe fluid retention appears to be dose-related, was more common in the advanced phase studies (where the dosage was 600 mg/day), and is more common in the elderly.
Severe congestive heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction have occasionally been reported. Most of the patients with reported cardiac events have had other comorbidities and risk factors, including advanced age and previous medical history of cardiac disease. Patients with cardiac disease or risk factors for cardiac failure should be monitored carefully, and any patient with signs or symptoms consistent with cardiac failure should be evaluated and treated.
Hepatotoxicity, occasionally severe, may occur. Assess liver function before initiation of treatment and monthly thereafter or as clinically indicated. Monitor liver function when combined with chemotherapy known to be associated with liver dysfunction. A 25% decrease in the recommended dose should be used for patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Patients with moderate renal impairment (CrCL = 20-39 mL/min) should receive a 50% decrease in the recommended starting dose, and future doses can be increased as tolerated. Doses greater than 600 mg/day are not recommended in patients with mild renal impairment (CrCL = 40-59 mL/min). For patients with moderate renal impairment, doses greater than 400 mg/day are not recommended. Gleevec should be used with caution in patients with severe renal impairment.
In the newly diagnosed CML trial, 2% of patients had (NCI Grades 3/4) hemorrhage.
There have also been reports, including fatalities, of cardiac tamponade, cerebral edema, acute respiratory failure, and gastrointestinal (GI) perforation.
Bullous dermatologic reactions (eg, erythema multiforme and Stevens-Johnson syndrome) have also been reported. In some cases, the reaction recurred upon rechallenge. Several postmarketing reports describe patients able to tolerate the reintroduction of Gleevec at a lower dose with or without concomitant corticosteroids or antihistamines following resolution or improvement of the bullous reaction.
Clinical cases of hypothyroidism have been reported in thyroidectomy patients undergoing levothyroxine replacement during treatment with Gleevec. TSH levels should be closely monitored in such patients.
Consider potential toxicities—specifically liver, kidney, and cardiac toxicity, and immunosuppression from long-term use.
Fetal harm can occur when administered to a pregnant woman; therefore, women of childbearing potential should be advised to not become pregnant while taking Gleevec tablets and to avoid breast-feeding while taking Gleevec tablets because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants. Sexually active female patients taking Gleevec should use adequate contraception. If the patient does become pregnant while taking Gleevec, the patient should be advised of the potential hazard to the fetus.
Gleevec is metabolized by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme and is an inhibitor of CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9. Dosage of Gleevec should increase by at least 50%, and clinical response should be carefully monitored, in patients receiving Gleevec with a potent CYP3A4 inducer such as rifampin or phenytoin. Examples of commonly used drugs that may significantly interact with Gleevec include ketoconazole, acetaminophen, warfarin, erythromycin, and phenytoin. (Please see full Prescribing Information for other potential drug interactions.)
For daily dosing of 800 mg and above, dosing should be accomplished using the 400-mg tablet to reduce exposure to iron.
Common side effects of Gleevec tablets
The majority of adult patients with Ph+ CML who received Gleevec in clinical studies experienced adverse reactions at some time, but most were mild to moderate in severity. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (all Grades) were superficial edema (60%-74%), nausea (50%-73%), diarrhea (43%-57%), musculoskeletal pain (38%-49%), rash and related terms (36%-47%), muscle cramps (28%-62%), and vomiting (23%-58%).*†
Supportive care may help management of some mild-to-moderate adverse reactions. However, in some cases, either a dose reduction or interruption of treatment with Gleevec may be necessary.
Gleevec tablets should be taken with food and a large glass of water to minimize GI irritation. Gleevec tablets should not be taken with grapefruit juice and other foods known to inhibit CYP3A4.
Patients should be informed to take Gleevec exactly as prescribed, not to change their dose or stop taking Gleevec unless they are told to do so by their doctor. If patients miss a dose, they should be advised to take their dose as soon as possible unless it is almost time for their next dose, in which case the missed dose should not be taken. A double dose should not be taken to make up for any missed dose.
*Numbers indicate the range of percentages in 4 studies among adult patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ CML and patients in BC, AP, and CP after failure of interferon-alpha therapy.

Solar power in New Jersey
Solar power in New Jersey has been aided by a Renewable Portfolio Standard which requires that 22.5% of New Jersey's electricity come from renewable resources by 2021, and by one of the most favorable net metering standards in the country, along with Arizona, allowing unlimited customers of any size array to use net metering, although generation may not exceed annual demand. Best practices recommend limiting net metering only to the size of the customer's service entrance capacity (i.e. no limit).[1]
New Jersey is second in the nation in the total number of homes and businesses which have solar panels installed. As of May 31, 2013, 22,014 solar photovoltaic systems have been installed, totaling over 1,078 MW. New Jersey is the second largest solar state in the U.S. with 306.1 megawatts of installed solar power in 2011, which was a 131% increase over the 132.4 megawatts installed in 2010. In 2010, New Jersey became the second state, after California, to install over 100 MW in a single year.[2] Many of the homes, schools and businesses which have installed solar panels can be monitored online on the internet.[3] Prominent solar contractors in New Jersey include Gehrlicher Solar America Corp., Trinity Solar, GeoPeak Energy and Amberjack Solar.[4]
Net metering[edit]
New Jersey is one of five states to receive an A in a comparison of the 38 states plus Washington D.C. which have net metering. Five received an F.[5] New Jersey and Colorado were the only two states to allow unlimited net metering customers, up to 2 megawatts for each customer. In 2010 the limit was removed, and in 2012 connection may be to a 69 kV or lower line voltage, raising the previous requirements.[6] New Jersey is one of three states which have no limit, although generation may not exceed annual demand, and the Bureau of Public Utilities has the option of limiting participation to 2.5% of peak demand.[7]
The New Jersey Clean Energy Program provides a rebate of $1.75/watt for residential systems less than 10 kW with an energy audit, or $1.55/watt without an energy audit. Non-residential photovoltaic systems up to 50,000 watts receive a rebate of $1.00/watt. An additional $0.25/watt for each is available for systems partially manufactured or assembled in state, such as inverters or solar PV modules.[8] The rebate had, prior to February 2, 2009, been $3.50/watt. During 2009 and 2010 the 30% Federal tax credit becomes a 30% grant for systems completed or started during those two years and completed before 2017, and beginning in 2009, has no limit either for commercial or residential systems. Prior to 2009 residential credits were capped at $2,000.
Renewable Portfolio Standard[edit]
New Jersey's renewable portfolio standard (RPS) is one of the most aggressive in the United States and requires each electricity supplier/provider to provide 22.5% from renewable energy sources by 2021. In addition, 2.12% must come from solar electricity, an amount estimated to be 1,500 megawatts (MW).[6] Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) must be purchased by electricity suppliers to meet the state targets or else they face a fine known as a Solar Alternative Compliance Payment (SACP) that was $0.691/kWh in 2010.[9] As New Jersey was approaching the minimum requirements, the requirements were accelerated on July 23, 2012, changing the shape of the compliance curve from slowly increasing at first to rapidly increasing at first.[6]
By the end of June 2012, 831,601 kW of solar had been installed and an additional 590,285 kW was planned. By the end of December 2012, 955,620.4 kW had been installed by 19,328 homes and businesses, and an additional 698,046.3 kW was approved, in 4,407 projects. By the end of May 2013, 1,078,410.9 kW had been installed in 22,014 projects. An additional 4,609 projects have been approved, totaling 677,058.7 kW.[10]
|Total installed solar power (MWp)
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates[edit]
In 2004, New Jersey adopted a program promoting the use of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) to meet the solar energy carve-out of the state RPS. In the 2011 Energy Year, 306,000 SRECs (or MWhs of solar electricity) must be purchased by electricity suppliers in the state in order to meet the state solar requirement. That requirement grows to over 5 million in 2026.[13]
An SREC program is an alternative to the feed-in tariff model popular in Europe. The key difference between the two models is the market-based mechanism that drives the value of the SRECs, and therefore the value of the subsidy for solar. In a feed-in tariff model, the government sets the value for the electricity produced by a solar facility. If the level is too high, too much solar power is built and the program is more costly. If the feed-in tariff is set too low, not enough solar power is built and the program is ineffective.
The SREC program allows for the creation of a certificate with every megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity produced. The certificate represents the "solar" aspect of the electricity that is produced and can be unbundled and sold separately from the electricity itself. Electricity companies, known as load-serving entities, are required by state RPS laws to procure a certain amount of their electricity from solar. Since it is often more costly for them to build solar farms themselves, the load-serving entities will purchase SRECs from solar generators and use the SRECs to comply with the state laws. With an SREC market, the value of an SREC is determined by supply and demand, subject to certain limitations. If solar is slow to develop, SREC values will remain high, encouraging the development of solar. If too much solar is added, SREC values will decrease, which in turn lowers the attractiveness of the investment. The goal of an SREC market is to find the SREC price that effectively represents the difference between the cost of producing other electricity and the cost of producing solar electricity. As the cost of solar electricity comes down, so will the value needed for SRECs. SRECs in New Jersey have traded as high as $680 per MWh.[14] In comparison, the average sale price for the electricity itself ranges from $50 per MWh to $180 per MWh. The value created from the benefits of selling SRECs dwarf the value created by the actual electricity produced in today's market. This means that SRECs play a major role in the return on investment for solar in New Jersey. The program was modified in the "solar rescue bill" to increase the value of the SRECs, which have declined in value by 92% but cap them at no more than $325.[15]
Solar 4 All project[edit]
In 2009, Public Service Enterprise Group, the largest utility company in New Jersey, announced plans to install solar panels on 200,000 utility poles in its service area, the largest such project in the world.[16][17] The Solar 4 All project intends to increase the capacity for renewable energy in New Jersey by 120 MW and is expected to be completed in 2013.[18] In addition to 40 MW of pole mounted power,[19] PSEG is building four solar farms in Edison, Hamilton, Linden, and Trenton.[20] 40 MW is expected to come from customer installed projects. As of August 2012[update], the 40 MW of solar farms are 90% complete.[21]

Shannon, Shannon, and I went into Brooklyn last night to see Counting Crows. They were kicking off the second leg on the Outlaw Roadshow (which sadly excludes Good Old War now). If my records are correct - and I believe they are - this was my 10th Crows show! Teehee teehee!
Shannon (Mu) and I met up with Penn Station and took the subway to Brooklyn together. We met Shannon (Con) at a barbecue place en route to the Williamsburg Waterfront called Mabel's. Our friend, Camilo, met us there just to hang. It was hot as hell out, so none of us was in a rush to go stand out on concrete waiting for Crows to go on. I usually don't mind catching opening bands, but that's only when there's air conditioning and/or it's not 100 degrees out! So, we opted to stay at Mabel's and eat and drink for a couple hours until around 8pm when we figured Crows should be going on soon and it was a teeny bit cooler.
Our estimation was correct. We got there in between bands as Crows were setting up! Perfect timing! We got a spot that was a little further back, but was behind the VIP area so we had a pretty clear view,
Counting Crows played:

A Long December
Return Of The Grievous Angel (Gram Parsons cover)
Hangin' Around (with the Outlaw Roadshow)
Washington Square
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere (Bob Dylan cover)
Holiday In Spain
I've been having strong feelings about "I Wish I Was A Girl" lately, but you only get to read them if we're LiveJournal friends.
"Anna Begins" was the biggest surprise of the night. Ugh. That wasn't supposed to happen! I've heard them play it before, but they hadn't done it the other two times I'd seen them this year, so it hardly crossed my mind! I love it, though, even if my history with it is a little sordid. I used to relate this song ALL the time to situations with my first big crush back when he was still my big crush (~ 2004 / 2005).Oh, poor, pathetic, 2004 Me. It's only funny now because it didn't kill me, but it was almost very not funny.
Everybody groaned at the opening chord to "Colorblind." Boner killer. But it a good way.
"A Long December." Instead of singing "If you think you might come to California," Adam sang "If you think you might come home to New York City" and I like that way better. He's a California native who migrated east and seems to really love it and, since I'm sick of the reverse happening in my life, I really appreciate his east coast / NYC love. ["I'm going back to New York City because it got a little sleazy here for me."]
"Hangin' Around" is usually not a favorite of mine, but they jammed to it last night and brought out everyone from the other bands, so it felt like a party. I think it comes across better live than on record.
"Holiday In Spain." <33
Until it occurred to me that this would be number 10, I wasn't really thinking about going. Traveling to Brooklyn on a Tuesday night with work at 7am is a bitch, but they always make it worth it!
Now, can I has coffee IV plz?

I am currently and eighth grader at Markham Middle School in Watts. I grew up in Watts and in its surroundings. Markham is known for its bad reputation of bullying and what not, but not everything about this school is bad. There are many programs like MESA (Mathematics,Engineering,Science,Achievement), Boys and Girls Club and other programs. We also have a Magnet program that has improved students' performance for the last three years. During my three years at Markham I was lucky enough to have the greatest teachers that have supported me. Mr. Espinoza and Mr. Gerlach are two MESA Instructors that have made my years at Markham the best. Unfortunately, this year they are leaving Markham because they have struggled to keep fighting for MESA because they don't receive the professional support they need. I am truly sad about their departure, but I know that wherever they go, they WILL make the difference in the students.
Our school is full of hard working teachers. They want the best for all of their students and they work as many hours as needed to get it done. We have grown in academic success over the past 5 years and will continue to work hard. We have a lot of technology and a differentiated literacy program to help our students achieve. Markham is a beautiful brick school with what we call the "Markham Farm."
My school was a pleasant surprise for the surrounding area. My son started in the 6th grade and is now in his last year as an 8th grader. The staff all know his name and for good reasons but mainly because they truly care about him and his future. They have taken the time to tell him its not where you live but how you live and learn and grow. I'm proud of the staff at Markham!
I have twin daughters they are in 8th graders at markham. they work realy hard to graduate but on monday one of my twins got jumped by 6 girls when my other duaghter n their friend helped her they got removed from the ceremony my girls never been in trouble they where removed for defending themselves. the administratio at the school is really rediculous they should have somebody over seeing them and there socal security is worse
My son is in all AP classes but the teachers are disrespectful and maybe should consider retiring very early because they have lost the ability to treat students like human beings!!! My son is polite and respect everyone!! We have raised him well and I am very proud of him! But a few of the teachers that he unfortunately had this past year are a great disappointment and I wish someone would put nanny cams or sumthing to that effect to expose these teachers for the idiots they are!! I wish I could move out of the area so that my son does not get discouraged with school but that is not an option right now!!! And if I have to go back and meet with these poor excuse of a teacher Lord knows I will catch a case for smacking them upside the head!!!
I'm a parent at Markham. I have a son who soon will be a 7th grader there. I'm happy and very pround to know that there API scores went up a little. Hey something is something... Thanks to the teachers who has worked so hard to make this possible.. And to the students at Markham.. Always believe in your self. Don't let people think of you as u can't do anything because we are from watts..... be proud of you're self and if you need help ask for that help!! Remember the winner always asks for help and the looser stays stays in the same place all because they didn't ask for directions.. Keep up the good work Markham!!!!! And always think of your self as the winner!!!!
This school is great and ma child loved all the teachers there and the staff
The area may not help but the campus is a safe campus with really good teachers and staff.
I do think that Markham is not located in one of the best areas in Los Angeles, but I do beleive that all the kids that take advantage of the programs they offer will succeed. Is not all about the schools anymore is about our kids making the difference. The magnet program is excellent so is the staff.
The Magnet program is excellent as are the teachers. There are extracurricular activities for every student's interest. I was very impressed with the counselors and how eager they were to make sure all students were on target educationally.

More reviews by Shedeviluptuous
This is one of my everyday HG's. I love this lipgloss...it is THE definition of YLBB. Its a very light pinky-beige and it just works perfectly with my lip pigment. Looks great with brown or purple smokey eyes, and even with a more natural look as well. Definitely a permanent staple in my purse for everyday usage!
I received this item in a swap and decided to try it. It is the perfect nude-brown and it tastes great! Staying power is not so great. But for the price I can reapply and will buy this product when I run out.
How good does it get? My two favorite things in one: coffee & lipgloss! This stuff has great taste and consistency but not enough staying power. But that wouldn't stop me from buing it again. This shade of brown looks great with a mocha lipliner(I use Models Prefer...it stays on great!)
If you want a non sparkly nude gloss and do not have much money, this is the way to go.
This is a great sheer nude-brown lipgloss with a FANTASTIC smell! The liplites have reasonable staying power, but not great.
Cappuccino is the only other lip lite that I can wear, Mocha mousse gets worn more because it shows up better on my lips, but I do love the cappuccino. It isn't sticky IMO (compared to MAC lipglass) and it isn't oily (which I hate in a gloss). The color is a light beige & smells amazing, just like cappuccino. Great value at $3 USD. NC25 LLL
I got this item in a swap and I was curious about it since I am a coffee-addict. ;-)
This is a nice lip gloss. If you are looking for a shiny nude lips look, it's for you! It's perfect for a nice glossy mouth. I really like this nude-ish natural brown shade.
It doesn't really taste like cappuccino... it's more a vanilla taste. Doesn't matter, I like both tastes!
It's not that much sticky compared to other brands.
The only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5, it's because of its lasting power: it's quite absent! But since the taste is yummy, it doesn't bother me to re-apply it a couple of times per day.
A good product at a very cheap price! It's worth trying it.
this product was really pretty on my lips-not too glossy like those caboodles fruitopians! the smell is bit strong at first, but that fades away pretty quickly. i better go out and buy some more! i got it at target for about $4.
The colour was nice, but the smell was too much for me - I couldn't even try it on my lips. I tried another colour, and it felt a bit gritty on.
Love it, love it, love it. What more can I say? This product is one of my faves- the color is great when used over a nudish-light brown lipstick- it has just the right amount of shine and creates a very sexy pout. It stays a long time on me even when working out, and when it does eventually fade out, it fades out evenly. I have lots of other glosses, many that are more expensive than this, but this is at the top of my list- I use this all the time. With the price, you can't go wrong.

The active weather pattern will remain today and for part of tomorrow before we may get a brief break. Additional storms are possible by the end of the week into part of the weekend, but the main focus remains for severe weather development this afternoon and tonight across eastern OK. Large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes will once again be possible. Over 300 reports of severe weather have been received with this system nationwide including 28 tornado reports, several of these in Oklahoma. These numbers are preliminary and may change later today. Now to the forecast.
The main upper level trough remains to our west and northwest this morning and will provide another round of storms this afternoon and tonight that will be severe. The parameters will be similar to yesterday with moist southerly flow, steep lapse rates aloft, and wind profiles supporting rotating thunderstorms. Another significant severe weather event is likely to occur again today and early evening across portions of eastern OK. The most likely scenario is for isolated storms to develop between 1pm and 2pm along the I-35 corridor, possible across south-central OK near the Arbuckle's to just south or near OKC as a jet streak rounds the base of the main upper level trough and impacts portions of the state. Additional showers and storms may develop along a line from South-central OK to near Tulsa by 3pm to 5pm and advance eastward. Some high resolution data support a few storms forming a small complex and moving into east-central OK by early evening and push into far southeastern OK from 10pm to midnight. The actual surface front may not arrive until Tuesday morning, and this means some additional storms may possible Tuesday morning through midday near northern OK. The higher likelihood for Tuesday storms however will be confined to southeastern and east-central OK through the midday time period.
The data gets a little messy for the middle of the week with the latest NAM runs backing a boundary northward, bringing south winds rapidly back to the region, and developing thunderstorms Wednesday across the northern portions of the state. GFS-EURO, for the most part, keep Wednesday quiet for the NE OK vicinity before additional storm chances arrive Thursday into part of the weekend with another boundary nearby. Our focus remains on the short term portion of the forecast, and we'll not make any big changes to the extended numbers at this point. This means we'll keep only slight mentions for storms in the forecast for Thursday through Saturday, but confidence levels remain very low.
Temperatures today should move back into the lower and mid-80s for eastern OK along with some early morning sun followed by increasing clouds. Tuesday morning lows will be in the upper 60s. Highs tomorrow could range from 78 to 82, but the remainder of the week will feature highs in the lower to mid-80s. Morning lows will be in the upper 50s Wednesday and the lower to mid-60s for the remainder of the week.
The official high in Tulsa yesterday was 83 recorded at 2:37pm.
Rainfall yesterday was only .10 of an inch bringing our total year to date to 11.11". The normal rainfall should be 14.19 leaving a deficit of -3.08 for the year to date.
The normal daily averages include a high of 80 and a low of 60.
Daily records include a high of 94 from 2006 and also 1956. The low is 42 recorded on this date in 1981.
You'll hear my regional and state-wide forecasts on numerous Radio Oklahoma News Network affiliates across the state this morning through the noon hour.

Thanks for reading the Monday Morning Weather Discussion and Blog.

Spring may be here, but metro Atlanta's housing market is still not blooming.
Home prices across metro Atlanta fell in February, although not as far as they did the month before, AJC staffer Michelle Shaw reports.
Median sale prices for existing single-family homes fell 4 percent in February to $110,100, when compared to the year before, according to a National Association of Realtors report released Tuesday.
That decline is an improvement on the 10 percent year-over-year drop in prices seen in January.
While February's data looks better, it still doesn't imply recovery, said Hank Miller, a Prudential Georgia Realty broker and certified appraiser.
"The jury is still out in my mind," Miller told Shaw.

It's sad that so many home buyers were duped. Why didn't they consult someone in their families for advice before signing on the dotted line? But then I advised a great-nephew not to pay more than $80k for a house he was looking at and he ignored it. Then lost his job after one payment had been made. Why do the builders continue to build?

About Dr. Forsythe:
Professor Forsythe comes to Texas Tech University after having taught Greek and Roman history and Greek and Latin language and literature at the University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College, Bryn Mawr College, and the University of Chicago. He is the author of four books, numerous articles and book reviews, and has presented many papers at conferences, including an international convention on the history, politics, and religion of Rome during the middle republic, held in Rome in September of 1998. His scholarly interests primarily involve ancient historiography and religion, Roman law, and the study of Latin inscriptions. He has written two books concerned with Roman republican historiography. His third book, narrating the history of early Rome down to the First Punic War was published in 2005 by the University of California Press and received the Texas Tech University President?s Book Award for 2005. His current major project is a collection of six essays concerning various aspects and problems of Roman religious history ranging from early times to late antiquity.
Published Works
A Critical History of Early Rome
During the period from Rome's Stone Age beginnings on the Tiber River to its conquest of the Italian peninsula in 264 B.C., the Romans in large measure developed the social, political, and military structure that would be the foundation of their spectacular imperial success. In this comprehensive and clearly written account, Gary Forsythe draws extensively from historical, archaeological, linguistic, epigraphic, religious, and legal evidence as he traces Rome's early development within a multicultural environment of Latins, Sabines, Etruscans, Greeks, and Phoenicians. His study charts the development of the classical republican institutions that would eventually enable Rome to create its vast empire, and provides fascinating discussions of topics including Roman prehistory, religion, and language.
In addition to its value as an authoritative synthesis of current research, A Critical History of Early Rome offers a revisionist interpretation of Rome's early history through its innovative use of ancient sources. The history of this period is notoriously difficult to uncover because there are no extant written records, and because the later historiography that affords the only narrative accounts of Rome's early days is shaped by the issues, conflicts, and ways of thinking of its own time. This book provides a groundbreaking examination of those surviving ancient sources in light of their underlying biases, thereby reconstructing early Roman history upon a more solid evidentiary foundation.
Read reviews on Amazon.com.
Livy and Early Rome
Livy's work is of interest to two distinct schools of history and literary criticism and Forsythe argues that this has resulted in some conflicting interpretations about various aspects, including Livy's sources and his relationship to his subjects. This study concentrates on Livy's working methods as an ancient historian, a perspective often overlooked, and is aimed at readers interested in early Roman history and Livian historiography. All extracts are accompanied by English translations.

The Historian L. Calpurnius Piso Frugi and the Roman Annalistic Tradition
Forsythe exhaustively examines all surviving fragments from Piso's history. Piso's centrality to many important historical and historiographical issues of the regal period, early republic, and middle republic and the relative abundance of his fragments and testimonia on his life make the work wide ranging in its scope. In a comprehensive and contextual manner, the author treats his subjects in the broader contexts of Roman history and the annalistic tradition.
Contents: List of Abbreviations; Preface and Acknowledgements; Piso's Family and Political Career; Prolegomena to the History; Piso's First Book, The Regal Period; Piso's Second and Third Books, The Early Republic; Piso's Later Books, The Middle Republic; Appendix, Testimonia and Fragments; Bibliography; Index.
