The Jets and Pats also lost.
Bills alone in first.
Who would have thonk it.
I don't think it will last. I still see the Patriots winning the division.
And the dolphins were 2 minutes away from getting back into things. FML
Rams and Chiefs are worse than the Dolphins are in terms of points scored/allowed. Yay
Bills fans have always billieved. That's what it means to be a fan.
Having said that, we have a long way to go before we are winning the division. It's a long season and this team is finally getting the ball to bounce their way. This was a huge win for the team and the city. It's step 1 and I can't wait to see where it leads. So far, 3-0, leading the division with the highest scoring offense in the NFL.
We shall see how it all plays out.
Im not shocked by this Buffalo got really good towards the end of the season last year.
Congrats to the Bills, it won't last but at least they have hope now. Now is when it becomes difficult for them, b/c now they will be expected to win for the first time and crazy fans and media will begin talking playoffs and div titles- now we will see what they are made of but through 3 games I stand up and applaud. They have played really well.
I think the BILLS are one of the more complete teams in the AFC right now... And NO, I didn't think that 3 games ago.
What has changed for me is the emergence of the Offensive Line and the Defensive Line respectively.
Fitz has been sacked once, and Freddy is running through huge cut back lanes, which is something no RB on this team has seen in 10 years.... This group has stepped up and has taken on two of the most formidable Dlines in football in the Raiders and the Pats.... Also, this offense in general was pretty "OK" last season....they are just building off where they were last year so this production isn't a fluke... However, the play of the Oline is surprising and is adding to their success.
The Defensive Line is 100 miles from where they were last year. The addition of Dareus is unmistakeable and they still are playing their backup DE while Troup is out. So this unit can actually get BETTER... Kyle Williams is the definition of an over achiever...
With the LB addition of Barnett and Merriman and they are stout against the run.
Apparently, they have not played a pass rush game plan yet... and from what I have seen, there has not been a single blitz that I have recognized. Games 1 and 2 were run stop plans 100%. The Pats game apparently was a non-pressure plan with the idea of blocking Brady's passing lanes, which worked yesterday, though not flawlessly....
This is a completely different team from last year mainly because of the trenches. To not see it or not agree is just being blind to reality.
The season is a marathon and so far the Bills have looked good (especially Fitzpatrick). I am impressed with how they handle the pressure of being down big in the second half. Both of their comebacks against the Raiders and esp the Pats were great to watch if you're an NFL fan.

Bad Pet Breath Gone - No Brushing Required
Bacteria attach and build on teeth over time and cause dental plaque and gum issues. Poor teeth and gums begin to compromise and jeopardize the overall health of dogs and cats. Now you can provide oral health care and reduce the dangers associated with plaque with True-Dose Sea Fresh. Our natural ingredients include a proprietary blend of algae that is rich in Facans, Fucus Vesiculosus, along with finely ground oyster shells that have clinically demonstrated the ability to effectively reduce dental plaque and tartar which cause bad breath.
Sea Fresh Key Success Factors Include:
Natural Ingredients
Components of Sea Fresh are totally natural, without the addition of coloring, additives, flavorings or stabilizers. No genetically modified organisms (GMO) are used or contained in their products.
Easy to Use
Because it has a naturally occurring flavor that cats and dogs love, it is very palatable for pets on a daily basis. Dental care is a top focus of veterinarians because it can lead to so many other complications associated with pet health. It is difficult to maintain good dental care for pets since brushing is often not an option. Deep dental cleaning by a veterinarian is effective but can be traumatic for pets to be put under anesthesia and is very expensive. Gel Fresh is an easy alternative to clean teeth and to fight bad breath.
True-Dose uses patented technology to provide your pet with a higher level of quality in nutritional and functional supplements. Their technology combines liquid forms of highly concentrated human grade ingredients with a measured delivery device to provide precise dosing.

Maria Teresa Kumar is the founding executive director of Voto Latino, a nonpartisan group created in 2004 with the mission to find, register, and turn out young Latino voters in the United States. With Latino-Americans poised to make up a considerable slice of the swing-state electorate this year, plenty of operatives on both the right and left are eagerly watching to see how they'll vote. But Kumar and Voto Latino are after something longer term. With Kumar in Austin, Texas to talk at SXSW about social media's ability to shape a political contest, we talked by phone about online experimentation's lessons for converting trending topics into action, how President Obama made this election personal, and what it will take to convince Democrats and Republicans to pay attention to Latinos after Election Day. This interview has been condensed and edited.
Latest Politics Posts:
Loading feed...
In 2006, you focused on using text messages to reach out to Latino potential voters. What does that outreach look like in 2012?
Since 2004, we've seen an evolution in technology. Up to this point it has always been about what's next on the horizon that's going to be the game changer. Now we have a toolbox. Not only do we have text messaging, we have Facebook. On Facebook alone you have 11 million U.S. Hispanics. And then you also have Twitter. In the 2008 election, Twitter was just getting started. All of a sudden you have all these different tools. What we're trying to do is to figure out how you mix them into a seamless experience. What I mean by that is, for example, not only are we creating a Voto Latino app, with that same tool you're going to be able to fill out a voter registration form so that you never have to leave your Facebook network. The way we're using Twitter is that we have roughly 30 celebrities where among their social networks they account for roughly 38 million fans.
So we're going to be working with information where it's not just, 'Here are the voter registration dates,' but it's about creating awareness by having [Voto Latino cofounder] Rosario Dawson speak, for example, for the environment, and Wilmer Valderrama speak on education, and Jessica Alba speak on healthy families. We're using our celebrities to carry those voices to their audiences.
Does it work? Do people really say, 'Rosario Dawson is tweeting about something political, and not only am I going to read it, I'm going to pass it along to my network'?
We experimented with this in 2010 with the census. Trying to make the census sexy is almost impossible, right? We partnered with Demi Lovato. She's a Disney kid and now has several best-selling albums. What we did with her is that we experimented with how social media translates into mobilization. And we challenged her to make our hashtag on Twitter trend. Not only did she make it trend, she made it trend worldwide within 20 minutes. We saw an uptake where people were taking the hashtag and tweeting and also going back to our site to learn more about the census. We had one young woman from the Central Valley who found us because of a tweet from Demi Lovato, and she took that information, contacted our office, and got her whole 200-person congregation at her church to pledge to fill out the census.
So these are incredibly powerful tools that no one has completely exploited. It's going to be an opportunity to say, "OK, now we have all these different mediums, what can be the most effective for these different audiences?" I can tell you that for Voto Latino, Facebook is great for an audience from their mid-20s and higher, whereas Twitter is great for someone between 18 and mid-20s.
As perfectly sensible as it might be to focus on voter registration, we seem to have the same conversation every two or four years. There's work done to engage a group of voters and pull them into the process, and then in the next election cycle it becomes about doing it over again. How much of this work is about the binariness of registration and how much of it is about creating a relationship with a voter that's sustainable?
Long-term engagement, right. This is based on the findings from the experimenting we did in 2010 with the census. What we found is that the difference with this demographic -- first of all, we target acculturated American Latinos, meaning that they are English-dominant -- is that 80 percent of all Latino voters are English-dominant, but that doesn't mean that there's a news source that's actually targeting them. So that's why we work very closely with celebrities and with media. We have roughly 87 radio DJs who are part of our coalition in our top 25 markets. We use them as messengers to get folks to not only learn about the election but come back to us.

BNA - For Australian and visiting cyclists from Road to MTB, to Track to Freestyle
proposed new law worse than the old
Positive discussion on ebikes and pedal assist bicycles
Re: new RTA proposal too conservative?
I'm siding with Joe on this one.
What you want is already available. You just have to be licenced and have the moped (which can be either electric or gas) registered.
Are you for some reason unable to qualify for a licence or afford registration? I think you would get a better hearing in other forums (that is, not BNA): I notice that I am not in anything like a minority when I say that I am amply satisfied with the current proposals.
Re: proposed new law worse than the old
250W is effectively the FTP of a trained D grade club rider, one that's more than enough to tackle Sydney hills. Any more power would just turn it into a please-get-off-the-bike-path motor scooter. The only reason for more power is to go faster than a trained D grade rider, and that's already no slow coach. As for going faster for the elderly, given the progressively slower reflexes as one ages, may I suggest that it's safer for the elderly to go slower, a speed that's more manageable for their physical abilities. So in other words, the "elderly excuse" is utterly invalid.

Re: proposed new law worse than the old
30km/h is a respectable sustained pace for a trained rider. Train your legs if you want that kind of pace. eBikes are meant to assist, not take over. With 250W assistance, you just need to put in a measly 100W and you'll stress a lot of riders with bulging leg muscles.
Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: proposed new law worse than the old
Nailed it!
If what you want SN really is a "need", I suspect the bigger picture is that you really have another need that would be served better by having much less power, in fact zero: maybe you need to lose some weight? And if that is not possible through injury or disability, get a licence and buy a moped.
And then ride on the road.
Re: proposed new law worse than the old
Don't get me wrong sogood I don't want to be superhuman.
I can sustain a pace of 35kph on the flat and 30kph on slight incline (on my heavy ebike with my work bag). So a maximum assist speed of 25kph is a little annoying when I'm riding with all my gear and get to a medium level hill. As I said, for me I'd love the power to gradually kick in to help me hold that speed (30kph) as I continue to pedal hard. I don't coast on the ebike - I AM trying to train my legs.
As I have written elsewhere, because my bike assist is about 25kph, when I hit a medium incline I slow down. This is probably irritating for any other riders that I might have overtaken on steeper hills where I have the advantage. They catch me up on the small-medium inclines because they have less weight to heave. I don't want to be one of those annoying ebike riders. That overtakes then slows down directly in front of the person just overtook. (What I usually do, to be polite, is to slow down if I know that the unassisted rider in front of me will want to overtake me again soon). With an additional 5kph of assist this would not be an issue. I do think that 250W is plenty because 200W is actually almost fine.

proposed new law worse than the old
Well, good that we agree on the primary issue brought on by the OP.
As for the issue of progressive power assistance on hills. I think that's more of an issue of intelligence in power delivery rather than an issue on absolute and max power assistance. I am sure the intelligence will come in as the technology matures but that'll take time to evolve.
Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: new RTA proposal too conservative?
Done. Posts will merge based on time so some may appear to be out of order. OP: please keep it to one topic.
Re: new RTA proposal too conservative?
As to approaching the people who make the law, I thought it might be better to first sound out out people interested in e-bikes to find out how they viewed the situation, to see if my views had any popular support, and to double check my reasoning to see if I had made any errors of judgement or fact before approaching any officials. Is that wrong? Besides, the proposal to change the law that I am critical of has already been submitted to Government, so I think I have missed the boat in that area.
It may well be the case that very few people agree with me - certainly it seems to be the case so far. But so what? I have never held to the view that the majority is always right. Most of the major advances in society have come from individuals with insight who were often ridiculed by the majority at the time, but later proved to be right. Just because most people don't agree with me does not make me wrong by default. I am quite happy to be in the minority, and fundamentally it does not matter if people agree with me or not - this is simply a forum for expressing ideas. Its not a court of law.

Re: new RTA proposal too conservative?
You are not wrong there and is well ahead of the curve. Cars are being electrified and I am sure it'll come to motorbikes. When it comes (>250W, 60km/h), you just need to ride the road with your license, not shared/bike pathways.
Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: new RTA proposal too conservative?
I have never ridden on a shared/bike pathway. Did'nt know there were any. If they do exist they either are very small in number, or I just happen to be unfortunate and live in the one area that has a bike path shortage. The only reason I would like to ride on a bike path is to avoid dicing with the traffic on a major road - and that would not be anywhere near such a problem if the bicycle could keep up with the traffic - something it would do much better if the law allowed a motor powerful enough to propel the bike up inclines and at a higher speed. Its rather a catch twenty-two is'nt it. People using bike paths are (quite rightly) concerned about having very powerful ebikes whizzing past them at a dangerously high speed, yet these fast e-bikes would have no need to be on the bike path in the first place, as they would have the performance to stay on the roads. After all you would'nt find a full sized motorcycle riding wanting to ride down a bike path, now would you?
I for one would be more than happy to have e-bikes banned from using bicycle paths. E-bikes might be based on bicycles, but they are different, and different enough perhaps to make them unsuitable for sharing bike paths with normal bicycles. I don't see why that should be a show stopper. If it was legal to buy a 1 kilowatt e-bike that you could not ride on bike paths, I would happily buy it and ride it on the road.
Re: new RTA proposal too conservative?
Looks like your point of view was born out of your biking needs, in an areas devoid of bike/shared paths. Unfortunately this present law is one that is state wide, one that will have direct impact on areas with bike/shared paths. So it's no surprise the RTA/govt is going in the present direction, one that takes into account of all possible situations.
High powered eBikes on the road? Without registration? It'll make the roads even more chaotic! Just go to one of the S/E Asian countries where there are motorscooters. Utter chaos and high accident/death rates for the 2 wheeled users.
Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: new RTA proposal too conservative?
You really don't get it? It's not about it not being OK just because a majority don't want it. I don't want to wear pink leotards but no-one will argue against you wearing them. Unlike pink leotards, what you want affects the rest of us a lot, unlike, say, seeking alternate sexual preferences. And as many have pointed out, what you are after is available - but it has financial, safety, regulatory, training and tax obligations you have to meet. Meeting your "need" as no more warranted than allowing people to make their own rough-and-ready cars with the expectation to drive it on the roads without any need for a license, rego, safety considerations, crash-worthiness, signal lights, emission standards, etc.
An element of truth, but seldom resrted to except as the fall back position of many more failed causes. Every quack scientist for example. Water divining, orgone energy in Peter Brocks cars, etc etc etc etc.
I don't know what you expect in the way of honest advice from retailers. In WA they will not even tell the buyer that they are illegal to ride with the motor engaged on the cycle ways. Please don't insult us by reporting back that they think the laws as they stand are too negative. Please.

Just give it some time. There might just be a place for higher powered e-bikes on the road and limited power e-bikes on cycle paths.
We'll see what happens when the price of fuel goes (and stays) over $2 a litre. Lot's of people who aren't in much shape to be riding but are going into debt trying to pay for fuel will be very eager for a easy, low cost alternative.

Re: proposed new law worse than the old
You can buy electric mopeds that meet the ADRs. You can also convert one yourself. I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I believe the OP just wants to be able to stick a bigger motor on a pushbike and then say 'but it's OK I'm only riding it on the road'.
ADRs are there for a reason and they come with a weight penalty. If you want to go 60kph then your vehicle needs more gear (suspension, better brakes, indicators, horn, lights, speedo) in order to be safe to use.

Re: proposed new law worse than the old
Maybe none of them have even heard of electric bikes. So far I have not yet met a single person who has, other than those on e-bike forums on the internet. I have never seen an e-bike add on the television.
Or maybe none of them lives within walking-frame distance of one of the handful of e-bike shops in the Country.
It is generally hard to buy a product which virtually no one sells.
I would also imagine that not many older persons are regular internet surfers who may have stumbled on an e-bike on the web.
Or then again maybe no elderly or infirm person would be able to effectively use an Australian e-bike with its pathetically low powered motor that would barely be able to crawl up even a moderate incline without grinding to a halt or overheating.
Re: proposed new law worse than the old
I just think that if you are going to allow an electric motor to be put on a bicycle, then at least make it one that is big enough to make a real difference. One of the biggest deterrents for people using bicycles for transport (as opposed to recreation) is coping with hills, especially steep hills. If en e-bike could solve the hill problem, then the electric bicycle might become useful enough to encourage people away from cars and public transport, and help the environment and ease the pressure on the dwindling oil resources. I personally don't think that 200 watts is enough power to really make a big enough difference on hills.
Opposing strong headwinds is another issue where a larger motor would be a significant advantage. These are both situations which have nothing to do with a faster top speed, which people seem to be so hung up about.
Of course more power would theoretically lead to a higher top speed on the flat, but this could be dealt with by requiring a speed limiter, technology which is readily available and used in other countries to control top speed of electric bicycles.
And to those who would say that I am wrong and that 200 watt motors can indeed I go up hills quite well, I would like to mention that there is strong evidence that most e-bikes of nominally 200 watts power output do in fact put out much larger amounts of power in reality. The 200 watt power rating is just there to appease the authorities.
Re: proposed new law worse than the old
Really? I love hills. Give me one of these hills and I'll show you a man who is encouraged by hills rather than deterred.
Have you heard of gears? They let you climb just about any hill.
I know you're somewhat incapacitated, but as long as you're prepared to accept that it takes time to climb a hill, motor assistance on a geared bike will let you climb anything.
Think outside the double triangle.
Imagine a world with no hypothetical scenarios.
Re: proposed new law worse than the old
What hill problem? Hills are great
Sorry, gotta side with kalgrm and jet-ski. The options are already there if you want more power. What you want (more power and no licensing/registration) isn't on the menu, and in the light of the likely abuses that everybody but you can see that would result, that's a good thing. You pays your money and makes your choices.
I'm coming to the view quite rapidly that you need to harden up.
Re: proposed new law worse than the old
I work I work in housing industry with bureaucrats, not the recreation industry or fitness industry or transport industry. And without doing a survey, I'd bet a house on the fact that many of my non-cycling friends know of electric bikes. It's not beyond comprehension that more people I know know of them than not.
Stolen, if you honestly know no one who knows of e-bikes, then I suggest that you need to get around a bit more. I am finding it harder and harder to read your factoids without thinking that they are simply pulled out of the air to support your argument.
btw, I have occasional senior citizens passing me on the pathway on regular bikes - prime candidates for e-bikes apparently.

Re: proposed new law worse than the old
Hi Stolen,
You're wrong. 200W does make a significant difference on big hills.
I just rode up Sydney Rd Manly twice today. The first time I did with a half discharged battery. The motor couldn't do it on its own but with light pedalling (such as required to go 16kph on flat) it went up at 12kph.
The second time with about 80% charged battery and pedalling hard I went up at 20kph.
Now, that's not gonna set the land speed record but without assistance on my normal bike I can only do about 8kph up that hill. So I'd say that the measly 200W is making about 10-12kph difference.
I don't deny that more power = more difference but 200W is actually not bad.
I weigh 65kg by the way and bike 20kg.

Re: proposed new law worse than the old
A lot of chatter about why you all love the RTA proposal - Have you read it!! Its just dumb. Ebikes arent push bikes. The attraction to Ebikes is that they are easy to ride for all ages and body types,you dont have to shell out on Rego especially if you already pay rego on several other cars and motorbikes and best of all they have the potential to evolve into a environmentally friendly form of transport. They dont have to be as fast or as powerful as a moped or motor bike but the RTA want to make them pathetic enough to put people off bying one. Instead of limiting the guidelines to make an Ebike a bike they should treat it as a hybrid vehicle and go from there, Maybe charge a small registration fee if they have to grab more money than they already do. And stop deluding yourselves about how fast you can ride. Every day i have to put up hordes of fanatical cyclist who think they are as powerful as the stream of cars behind them trying to get passed. Seriously i think those guys need a motor more than a bike.
Re: proposed new law worse than the old
Why do you have to ride at the same speed or faster than Grade A club riders? If you really want to be environmentally friendly, try walking or use a regular push bike. Batteries, electronic components and electricity are highly toxic to the environment to manufacture and dispose. Current RTA proposal is practical to integrate with current infrastructure and is considerate of existing users. That's all.

Re: proposed new law worse than the old
No, I haven't read it 10 speed. But I am curious about your assessment of the proposal, leaning apparently on the fact that it absurdly treats e-bikes as , well, power assisted bikes. when they are, indeed, not. So you say.
But I take issue with your apparent belief that e-bikes are NOT bikes but something else quite different. Sorry buddy, twaddle. e-bikes and the initial petrol equivalent were just that and the regulators have written regs that reflect that. afaik they still consider e-bikes to be power assisted push-bike. What some people may WANT is for a different form of motor bike or scooter that is allowed to drive on footpaths and cycle ways and to not be burdened with various annoyances like legislated standards, driver trainihng and licensing, higher costs of purchase and maintenance, etc. But just 'cos you WANT it, it is big jump to then say that they are not bikes. I am inferring from your comment that, contrary to what you may think, the regs are not dumb at all, but that you would be hung on that petard yourself if I follow your rationale for being dumb.
I note that there are not too many car dealerships selling e-bikes, but an increasing number of bikes shops are. How dumb are these shops????

Recently, Dr. Phil Farrell visited Promega Corporation to present his pioneering research to trace the origins of the most common mutation that causes cystic fibrosis. This mutation, ΔF508, results in a 3 bp deletion in human genomic DNA and a deletion of the phenylalanine residue at amino acid position 508 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. Dr. Farrell and the members of his lab at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health are examining ancient DNA to answer the question: Is there some protective effect of the ΔF508 mutation that would explain why the frequency of this mutation is so high (as high as 1/1,000 live births) in certain populations?
One hypothesis is that the ΔF508 mutation conveys protection against a disease that was common during prehistory, such as tuberculosis or cholera, similar to the protective effect afforded by sickle cell anemia-causing mutations against malaria. However, scientists have been unable to identify any protective effects of this mutation. Dr. Farrell and his team are taking a different approach. They know that skeletal remains from the Bronze and Iron Ages have relatively high levels of lead and arsenic, consistent with the manufacturing and use of metal tools of that era, and have developed the hypothesis that a single copy of the ΔF508 mutation conveys protection against metal toxicity. To strengthen their hypothesis, Dr. Farrell and his team are extracting DNA from teeth of preRoman, Roman and medieval Europeans skeletal remains and using PCR to detect the ΔF508 mutation and monitor its frequency in these populations.
One potential problem with these types of studies is contamination with modern DNA(1)
. For the data to be credible, the appropriate controls must be performed to detect such contamination and eliminate those samples from the analysis. In Dr. Farrell's lab, contamination is detected by including human-specific short tandem repeat (STR) primers along with the ΔF508-specific primers to detect the mutation and generate an STR profile in a single amplification, then comparing this STR profile to STR profiles of laboratory members.

If your doctor has recommended a biologic for Crohn's disease, you likely have a lot of questions: What is a biologic? Which biologics are used for Crohn's? Should I take one? If so, when -- and which one?
WebMD answers these commonly asked questions about biologics and suggests some other questions to ask your doctor -- and yourself -- to help you choose the treatment that's right for you.
What Are Biologics?
Also known as biologic response modifiers or biologic agents, biologics are geneticallyengineered therapies made from living organisms. Unlike some other Crohn's medications, which suppress the entire immune system, the biologic agents target specific players in the inflammatory response. For that reason, they may avoid some of the broad side effects that come with some other drugs.
Biologics have been used for a little over a decade. Remicade (infliximab) was the first biologic approved to treat Crohn's, in 1998. Today, there are four biologics approved for Crohn's treatment.
Cimzia (certolizumab), Humira (adalimumab), and Remicade work by inhibiting a protein called tumor necrosis factor alpha that's involved in inflammation. Another medication, Tysabri (natalizumab), blocks certain types of white blood cells that are involved in inflammation.
Should I Take a Biologic? If So, When?
Whether or not you take a biologic will depend largely on how severe your Crohn's is, which other treatments you have tried, your doctor's treatment philosophy, and your preference.
Biologics are FDA approved for people with moderate to severe active disease who have not had an adequate response to traditional treatments.
Some doctors, including Marie Borum, MD, professor of medicine and director of the Division of Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., use what is called step-up therapy. A doctor who uses this approach does not suggest a biologic until you have tried and failed conventional treatments such as aminosalicylates, antibiotics, or drugs that suppress the immune system such as methotrexate, says Borum.
There are several reasons for the step-up approach, she says. "[Non-biologic] therapies have been around long, so we are more familiar with them -- we know how they work, we know what to expect and, because of our comfort level with them, we tend use them first and hold the biologics," says Borum.
Also, she says if you use a biologic early on, you exhaust your treatment options up front. "After that, if you have an exacerbation you may well be in a situation where you no longer have options," Borum says.
Others doctors, including Richard Bloomfeld, MD, are more likely to prescribe biologics from the start in hopes that they can help people avoid complications and surgery.
"Although there are other drugs I often use, anti-TNF biologics should not be reserved as a last-ditch effort," says Bloomfeld, associate professor of medicine and director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston Salem, N.C. "The trend is to use biologics early in the disease course with the hope of altering the history of disease."
Most doctors agree that biologics should be started sooner rather thanlater for people with severe disease or with factors that indicate Crohn's likely will be severe.
"I think the challenge in Crohn's disease today is to identify people who are going to have an aggressive disease course in the future and would benefit from biologic therapy now," says Bloomfeld.
Factors doctors may consider when predicting whether Crohn's is severe enough to need a biologic -- or might become severe -- include:
- Age at diagnosis. People who are diagnosed with Crohn's when they are young tend to have more severe disease.
- Involvement of the small intestine. About 70% of Crohn's cases involve both the small and large intestine or small intestine only.
- Need for corticosteroids. If you often need corticosteroids to control inflammation, you may be a candidate for a biologic therapy.
- Smoking. Smokers generally have more severe disease than nonsmokers.
- Fistulzing disease. Biologics may help heal fistulas, whichhappen when ulcers tunnel through two organs or parts of the body, such as two parts of the intestine.
Which Biologic Is Right for You?
When deciding on a biologic for Crohn's, doctors usually start with one of the TNF-inhibitors, says Bloomfeld. Tysabri is usually reserved for people who have failed anti-TNF therapy.
The TNF inhibitors have never been compared head-to-head in a study, so the decision to choose one over the other is largely about which one you and your doctor prefer.
How often you take the medication and how it's given may be factors in your decision. For example, two of the anti-TNF drugs, Humira and Cimzia, are given by injection -- Humira every two weeks; Cimzia every four weeks. Remicade is usually given every two months in two- to three-hour infusions at a doctor's office or infusion center.
Some people enjoy the convenience of the shot, says Prabhakar Swaroop, MD, assistant professor and director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. "You can carry it with you and give it to yourself," he says. Others don't want to give themselves shots or just prefer to have an infusion administered in a medical setting.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
Like all drugs, biologics have risks, and once you begin one, you will likely be on it for a long time. To determine if a biologic -- and if so, which one -- is right for you, ask your doctor the following questions:
- How is the drug administered? Will I need to go for infusions or can I give it to myself?
- Will this be the only treatment I need, or will I still have to take another drug along with it?
- How often will I need to have infusions or shots?
- Where would the infusion be given?
- Are there any adverse reactions that might occur with shots or during infusions? If so, how are they treated?
- What is the risk of side effects from the biologic? How does that compare with the risks of other treatments?
- What benefits should I expect? How do those compare with the other options?
- Is there a particular biologic that you have had experience or success with?
There are also questions you will need to ask yourself when choosing a biologic. A few questions to consider are:
- Am I OK with giving myself shots? If not, is there someone who can give them to me if I have trouble?
- Could I commit to giving myself shots consistently for a long time?
- Would it be hard for me to sit still for two or more hours for an infusion? Would it be possible for me to get away from work or family responsibilities for infusions?
Do I prefer the convenience of a shot or would I feel more comfortable receiving treatment in a center from a health professional?

Following a trend from recent years to save the school system money, Calvert County Public Schools is offering an incentive for early retirement to employees who meet the requirements starting this winter.
Nancy V. Highsmith, interim superintendent of the school system, sent out a memorandum Nov. 22 to all teachers, support staff and administrators announcing the eligibility requirements and incentive offer beginning Dec. 2. The measure is intended to cut costs spent on higher salaries of longtime employees.
The incentive will be a one-time payment equal to 7 percent of the eligible employee's fiscal 2014 salary, according to the memo. In addition, CCPS will pay 100 percent of the cost of retiree health insurance benefits for an individual plan offered through CCPS for a maximum of one year beginning July 1, 2014, for retirees of any age, the memo states.
"We are certainly not trying to push people out," Eugene Karol, president of the Calvert County Board of Education, said. "But those who are thinking of retiring, anyway, it gives them a little incentive to do so early."
At their most recent board of education meeting, the board members discussed ways to combat the $2 million deficit the school system is facing next year, which already was brought down from $4 million.
"[We are] looking everywhere we can to cut spending," Highsmith said at the meeting Nov. 21. In an email, Highsmith said the early retirement incentive provides a cost savings to the school system.
Last year, 59 employees took the incentive and early retirement, saving the school system more than $1 million in salaries, said Victoria Karol, acting director of human resources. She said she anticipates the same outcome this year.
"The budget is going to be a problem this year. Money is tight," Eugene Karol said. "And we're looking at all different ways to save money, and this is one way to do it."
Eugene Karol also said this will give the school system an opportunity to advertise vacancies so new hires can be arranged as soon as possible.
"Knowing your vacancies early is a big plus," Eugene Karol said.
An employee must have a minimum of five years of creditable service with the school system in order to receive the retirement incentive, according to the memo. The employee also must meet the Maryland State Retirement Agency eligibility requirements for a normal early service retirement.
Offers are made on a first-come, first-served basis, recorded at the time the completed "Retirement Incentive Application Form" is submitted. Forms should be submitted in person to the Human Resources Department between Dec. 2 and Jan. 6 for an effective retirement date of July 1, 2014, according to the memo.

Every 9.5 minutes someone in the United States is infected with HIV.
In Indiana 12,340 people are living with HIV/AIDS. Dec. 1 is World AIDS Day, meant to remember those who have died from the disease and those who live with it every day for the rest of their lives.
This year the AIDS Task Force of Northeast Indiana is trying something a little bit different to recognize World AIDS Day. It is planning several days of events Monday-Dec. 5.
Lisa Terry, executive director of the ATF, said the agency wants to reach as many people in the community as it can. By having different events on multiple days in various locations around town, the ATF believes it can both raise more awareness and educate more people about the dangers of HIV/AIDS.
Terry said a whole generation of younger people exists now who are not worried about the disease and not practicing safe sex. They believe it is not the death sentence it used to be. However, while it's true medications are out there to help people live longer, healthier lives with the disease, to contract it is still a life sentence. HIV/AIDS has no cure.
Terry said a new phenomenon they are seeing now is finding the disease in nursing homes. Apparently more seniors are having sexual encounters. It's not unusual for a single man in a nursing home to have more than one partner. If they are not practicing safe sex, this can lead to the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and even HIV.
In Fort Wayne most of the new cases of HIV are from men on men encounters but the number of African American women being infected with the virus is also on the rise.
The ATF has clients as young as 18 and as old as 72. Sixty-four percent of new HIV diagnosis clients at the Task Force are under 30. Since the ATF opened 368 clients have died.
Starting Nov. 26 and running through Wednesday Dec. 5, there will be an event everyday. The week begins with the "Facing /AIDS exhibit at IPFW and there will be HIV testing at Fort Wayne/Allen County Department of Health Medical Annex, by appointment from 8 a.m.-11:30a.m. and 1 p.m.-4:30. Ruby Tuesday restaurant will donate 20 percent of meals purchased to the ATF on Nov 26. Just provide the flyer to the server between 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
Other highlights of the week include a red balloon release Thursday afternoon at IPFW'S Walb Student Union, and the distribution of red ribbons. Friday is red ribbon day and the ATF will provide interested businesses with ribbons, but they do make the ribbons by hand so you should call them as soon as possible to order them. On World AIDS Day there will be a celebration at After Dark nightclub, you must at least 21 years of age to attend.
The events will conclude on Wednesday, Dec 5 with a Luminous Night Service of Lament and Promise and the "Facing HIV/AIDS at Plymouth Congregational Church at 7 p.m.

Fool's Gold - Flying Lessons
Fool's Gold bouncing, delightful third LP is a perfect summer album. Sounding like a mixture of Vampire Weekend and Remain in Light-era Talking Heads, Fool's Gold blends African inspired rhythms with American pop sensibilities to create catchy jams. While the vocals of this release are disappointingly in English as opposed to the rumbling Hebrew of their first release, they still do well framed by the shiny guitars and organic sounding drums that make up the majority of the instrumentation on this record. All of this is complemented by excellent and airy production that lets each note ring out.

Top Tracks: I'm in Love, Break the Cycle, Another Sun
Du Blonde – Welcome Back To Milk
Psychedelic folk star Beth Jeans Houghton has decided to completely ditch her odd sound acoustic tracks in favor of a new name and distortion driven rock songs. Mostly, it works. At its worst, Welcome Back To Milk can sound like something you would hear at 2 in the afternoon on a classic rock station when they only play 80s glam rock. At its best, however, Du Blonde proves she can write a really solid rock song.

Shamir's first album positions the 20 year old singer at the forefront of the burgeoning electronic r&b scene. Following up his first EP, Ratchet is dazzling. Crisp, spacious production that emulates old school Detroit techno by producer Nick Sylvester highlights Shamir's almost impossibly high voice that seems to straddle the line between feminine and masculine. These two work together to create create incredibly catchy pop that emulates the best of Michael Jackson or Prince.
RIYL: Michael Jackson, FKA Twigs, Justin Timberlake, Sylvan Esso
Top Tracks: On the Regular, Call it Off, Youth
Chappo - Future Former Self
This Brooklyn group's newest album is an ambitious blend of traditional psych rock and experimental production. Making full use of autotune, glowing synthesizer, and something that seems almost like rapping but not quite, Chappo sometimes falls short of making perfectly coherent songs. But when this album does come together, it does so beautifully, with tracks like Orange Afternoon and I'm Not Ready putting forward some of the better psych rock I've heard recently.
RIYL: The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Temples
Top Tracks: Orange Afternoon, I'm Not Ready, Hey-O
New Music Week 6
The Weather Station – Loyalty
Classic folk music, all plucky and sung from the back of the throat—quavering with a reedy quality. Soothing in its familiarity yet a refreshing break from contemporary styles and tropes of revival, which for some reason only seem to resurrect 70's psychedelica. Warning: you might fall asleep if you listen for too long.
RIYL: Dar Williams, Sibylle Baier, Leonard Cohen
Top Tracks: 'Way It Is, Way It Could Be,' 'Shy Women'
DTCV - Uptime!
Read more...
On their 4th full length LP, DCTV blends French pop sensibilities with a grungy American alt-rock aesthetic. Composed of French vocalist Guylaine Vivarat and James Greer (formerly of Guided by Voices), much of Uptime! focuses on the juxtaposition between Vivarat's cooing voice and the snarling guitars looming bass behind her. While occasionally reminiscent of early Stereolab, DCTV never strays too far from traditional song structures like Stereolab does, relying on simple pop hooks instead. Not all of the songs on this album are perfect, but those that hit the mark are absolutely worth a listen.
Top Tracks: Miley Cyrus wins the Race, X-Water, Astros
RIYL: Blondie, early Stereolab, Chastity Belt
Surface to Air Missive
Surface to Air Missive is 23 year old Taylor Ross, from Tallahassee, Florida.
Final Round of Battle of the Bands Next Saturday
The long awaited Battle of the Bands was off to a solid start last Friday April 24 at the Cave. Fourteen student acts performed and filled the basement of Evans with sweet vibes. This year's Battle of the Bands really showcased a great variety of diversity. From Hip Hop acts reminiscent of freestyle Fridays by Scatty & Cla$$ic, Flux Duckling, reallylionel, and X^2 to funk infused soul groups like Who is Jordan Peota and Northern Riot. Other crowd favorites such as the classic Gross Domestic Prada and the freshmen cover band Saber Tooth Mouse Lion brought some strong energy to the stage. All in all, he Cave had a solid attendance with a good bunch of sweaty college kids moshing it out.
The next final round of Battle of the Bands will be held next Saturday sixth weekend at 8:30pm at The Grand featuring this year's finalists Real Lust, reallylionel, At Your Disposal, Northern Riot, Fem Exciter, and melfry. Make sure to come out and support these students bands while having a blast... you know how these things go

New Music Week 5
Alabama Shakes – Sound & Color
Groovy guitar and soulful vocals peddle sultry tracks along a chill train on old tracks. Tight drumming and some 1970s waves ground the recordings in a familiar territory. Think Willis Earl Beal's Nobody Knows, but with more depth and variation.
Top Tracks: Miss You, Gimme All Your Love, The Greatest, Shoegaze
RIYL: Gnarls Barkley, T-Rex, D'Angelo
Turnover - Peripheral Vision
With bands like "American Football" reuniting to play sold out shows across the country, it only makes sense that we'd start to see more new emo bands prop up with their own brand of whiny vocals and delicate guitar. Turnover isn't a new band per se, they released a pop-punk album in 2013, but this album is such a radical departure from their previous work that they might as well be. Like any self-respecting emo album, this record is dominated by shiny guitar melodies, hazy waves of reverb and wistful vocals lingering overhead. Throughout this release, Turnover maintain a firm grasp of pop sensibilities and their album is thoroughly enjoyable and accessible.
RIYL: early Death Cab for Cutie, American Football, The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, Into It. Over It
Top Tracks: Cutting My Fingers Off, Hello Euphoria, Take my Head

Winter –Supreme Blue Dream
Winter's first full length LP is dreamy and lush, more than a little like the strain of marijuana it's named after. Driven by front woman Samira Winter's floating vocals and graceful guitar melodies darting out from underneath swells of reverb, this album is absolutely entrancing. Unlike many of their Dream Pop/Shoegaze compatriots who often fail to innovate once they've found a winning formula, Winter refuses to sit still. Each track contains a tiny innovation, with hand drums, saxophones, electronic beats, and acoustic guitar all being featured at one point or another. Yet, despite all of these additions, Supreme Blue Dream somehow remains a cohesive and beautiful album that is easy to let yourself sink into.
RIYL: Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Beach House
Top Tracks: Crazy, Some Kind of Surprise, Expectations/Exigencias
George Fitzgerald –Fading Love
Read more...
George Fitzgerald first came on the electronic scene by dropping deep house festival anthems like "Child" and "Thinking of You." On his first LP however, Fitzgerald has moved away from "hands in the air" house music and towards a more cerebral type of dance music that has a broader emotional range than eye jiggling ecstasy. While clearly remaining dance music with throbbing bass and piercing synthesizers at its core, Fading Love makes effective use of poignant vocal samples and sparse production to land emotional punches that most of its contemporaries don't even attempt.
RIYL: Aphex Twin, Midland, xxy
Top Tracks: Full Circle, Call it Love (If You Want To), Shards

You're right about Kevin Coyle. Our defense was by far the best unit on the field today. You take away that BS 'fumble recovery' on the punt and they gave up just ten points against an explosive offense, while missing a starting CB. Just a fantastic performance from the D.
The idiotic team rushes 19 times for 80 yards (Cincinnati). Very familiar during the Marino era.
My only beef during the game was 14 minutes remaining and Dolphins take over. Instead of basic formations and imposing ourselves physically we seemed determined to forfeit advantage by lining up in an empty set on first down. Empty sets are masochistic at this stage of development, and when you have the lead. Far too much chance the opponent senses vulnerability and begins to attack. Empty sets are for Brady and Rodgers deep into their career.
Obviously, Clay running out of bounds was also a beef. That's a sensible bootleg play call to steal a cheap game ending first down but the recipient has to grasp the necessity to stay in bounds for 40 vital seconds. Cincinnati gained 8-10% greater opportunity to win the game at 1:50ish than 1:10ish.
wasn't impressed with the offense or the play calling besides tannehill. the defense backs played surprisingly well.
I`m very intrigued at how Gaffney can boost the offense bringing more space for hartline, bess, fasano. it may be the missing ingredient !!!!! fingers crossed

What Students Are Saying About Yale Science Outreach Programs
"Being a part of the EVOLUTIONS After School Program has enabled me to do a ton of things that you normally wouldn't do in a regular high school setting. With this program they really help you find out who you are as person and what your really capable of doing. And that's something I believe everyone should experience before they head into a world that is bigger than what they imagine to be."

If Montgomery continues on its current course in repairing the beleaguered Silver Spring Transit Center, the county will be responsible for future maintenance, a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority official said in a letter Friday.
The county, meanwhile, believes it shaped its current plans for the project to respond to concerns WMATA expressed after initial plans for the repairs were drafted.
Under county direction, workers are trying to repair individual "pour strips" — sections of concrete — that showed a series of cracks. The cracks were the result of a lack of reinforcement in the concrete, according to a contractor's report delivered to the county in March, which further delayed the center's opening.
Originally, the county was planning to completely remove and replace the pour strip sections that lacked reinforcement at the facility, county spokesman Patrick L. Lacefield said.
But WMATA raised concerns that the work could produce "further unanticipated stress to the structure," Lacefield said. The agency asked a working group engineering the repairs go back and look further at the issues, he said. The working group includes representatives from WMATA, county and contractors.
Lacefield said the working group agreed WMATA was correct. Instead of completely removing the concrete, workers could remove portions of the concrete, add rebar and then repour concrete.
In the Friday letter, however, WMATA appears to have back-tracked.
"Under such a scenario, the County must commit to fixing future structural issues and perform requisite maintenance as it relates to structural concerns upon commencement of operation of the facility," wrote A. Robert Troup, WMATA's deputy general manager.
WMATA spokesman Philip Stewart would not comment directly on the letter, but said in an email Monday that the agency "remains committed to the project but is deeply concerned that the cause of the cracking has yet to be identified" at the center.
The Montgomery County Council has scheduled a briefing Tuesday afternoon to discuss the progress of the repairs. WMATA said Monday afternoon that representatives would be present at the briefing, though they would not specify who would attend.
Now that the county has pushed forward with the alternative, the agency has "flipped," saying the concrete sections should be removed entirely, Lacefield said.
"We reconsidered it in the first place because of them," Lacefield said. "Now they are saying it all needs to come out."
The county awarded the contracts to build the $120 million transit center, at Colesville Road and Wayne Avenue. According to the county's contrct with WMATA, the agency would then operate the facility. The center was slated to open in 2011. It is still unclear when the center will be open for business.
When permits were requested for the work on July 1, the county and the agency agreed that comments would be sent within five days, Lacefield said.
WMATA said it would need the full 15 days stipulated in its agreement with the county to review the plan, Lacefield said. After 15 days, there was no word from the agency, he added.
On July 16, the county wrote WMATA saying it was moving forward with its plans for repairs.
Troup's July 19 letter said the problem lies with the county "neglecting to copy WMATA's General Counsel" on letters from June 29 and July 16.
"WMATA remains committed to providing the best transit facilities and service to the region. Arbitrarily truncating a comprehensive assessment of transit center remediation to provide facilities in support of this commitment does not service the region," the July 19 letter from WMATA read, which noted that acting quickly on the project may compromise the structure in the future.
Lacefield said the county is sticking to its contract with WMATA and anticipates the agency will do the same.
"At this point, we're prepared to move forward with what they originally said they wanted," Lacefield said. "We are agreeing with what they initially wanted: Repair without ripping out all of the concrete."

Ana takes on world No.214 Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania in the second round of the US Open on Thursday. It will be the first meeting between the pair.
24-year-old Dulgheru reached round two with a 6-7, 6-2, 7-6 win over world No.35 Varvara Lepchenko. She has been ranked as high as 26 in the world and has two WTA titles to her name.
Speaking after her 6-2, 6-0 dismantling of Anna Tatishvili in round one, Ana reflected on her summer so far.
"I was playing really well and I had a few tough losses," said Ana, who comes into the US Open with a 5-3 win-loss record on North American hard courts this summer, but has lost her last two matches from commanding positions. "It's obviously hard, more so emotionally than anything else. I'm very confident with the game and the way I was playing before that."
"I know I did a very good preparation. I have a new team with me. Obviously it takes time to get comfortable, to get things to work and to work smoothly.
"I'm very happy at the way everything is, and just trying to enjoy my time, and trying to work hard for each match and each practice."

Comments about Barrel Back Accent Chair with Ottoman:
Redecorating my tween's bedroom from a decidedly little kid's decor to something more mature that he can grow into. This chair fit perfectly in our budget and along with the new furnishings (tobacco brown desk, bookcase and headboard). The chair is a deep brown, almost black and has soft "pleather" feel to it. The seat is deep enough to add an accent pillow for a litte splash of color. It arrived with a ottoman in one large box which was very well packed. Just screw in the wooden legs which are study and well designed. The chair is the perfect size for a tween and imagine it will hold up well for several years. We placed the chair with ottoman in a corner near the bookcase and looks fantastic. Delivery was fast. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Meaning & Origins
The meaning of this name is unavailable
|2,793,484th in the U.S.
English, Welsh, French, South Indian, etc.: from the personal name George, Greek Geōrgios, from an adjectival form, geōrgios 'rustic', of geōrgos 'farmer'. This became established as a personal name in classical times through its association with the fashion for pastoral poetry. Its popularity in western Europe increased at the time of the Crusades, which brought greater contact with the Orthodox Church, in which several saints and martyrs of this name are venerated, in particular a saint believed to have been martyred at Nicomedia in AD 303, who, however, is at best a shadowy figure historically. Nevertheless, by the end of the Middle Ages St. George had become associated with an unhistorical legend of dragon-slaying exploits, which caught the popular imagination throughout Europe, and he came to be considered the patron saint of England among other places. As an American family name, this has absorbed cognates from other European languages, including German Georg and Greek patronymics such as Georgiou, Georgiadis, Georgopoulos, and the status name Papageorgiou 'priest George'. In Englishspeaking countries, this surname is also found as an Anglicized form of Greek surnames such as Hatzigeorgiou 'George the Pilgrim' and patronymics such as Giorgopoulos 'son of George'. It is used as a given name among Christians in India, and in the U.S. has come to be used as a surname among families from southern India.

"delicious best stew I have made so far great flavor!"
"Wow!!! Best beef stew recipe ever!"
"This is so delicious. For a change I like to use V-8 instead of the tomato juice"
"This is the best beef stew recipe I have tried. This time I had some leftovers so I turned them into beef potpies. What a hit!!"
"I've been making this recipe for years now and it's always my "go to" recipe for a great, hearty beef stew. I've shared this recipe with many friends and family when I've been asked about a good beef stew. I use V-8 as well when I don't have regular tomato juice on hand. I won't go with any other recipe. I serve with some fresh baked dinner rolls. Talk about a great Fall/Winter meal. YUM!! This one is excellent!"
