\nI don't actually need to correct or repair their business model for them, meaning if they are screwing up in the client service aspect, it's their business funeral. I didn't employ that arse. WRV did.
\nI did send an email to the attention of the owner, via the WRV website. I don't expect a reply.
\nBecause a business that tolerates an employee like 'Shane' is a business that doesn't care about anything except bottom line profits. And that's not a biz that I'll spend money with. Ever.

And yet you did spend money...strange. I would have walked and took my money somewhere else.

I don't think I know Shane... but I can say that WRV employees Geoff and Dave are both super-cool, first rate guys. If you ever decide to give RV another shot, seek out either of these two guys and your experience will be 180 degrees from that which Shane provided. Hopefully Les or one of his managers will see this and set things straight.
\nI can second what VBWaveski said in that Dave Shotten and all of his crew at Freedom have always been welcoming and super helpful.

But the biggest reason is because they're affiliated with Pete Smith of Pete Smith Surf Shop. They burned me when I was 20. I bought my first wet suit from them. It was a Bailey with legs lined with what looked like shag carpeting on the inside. The legs were coming apart after the first winter and I took it in for repairs in June. Oct came and my suit wasn't ready. the sales man said he'd trade for a new Bailey Licra plus. Space age technology that was warmer and less bulky. only had to pay 20 bucks difference in price. Got it and used it on a big day. I jumped off the pier and the suit split at the crotch and pit. I took it back and said I wanted my other one. He said it wasn't back yet but in the mean time, I was to sew up the tear and apply "Goop" to seal it. I did it, and after curing, the seam was sealed and flexible. BUT after being in cold salt water, the goop became brittle and was like having shards of glass glued to my pit and crotch. I went back and saw my suit on the rack. I brought both suits to the counter to swap out. the guy said, "I can't take it back because there's goop on the seams. Beat it"
After that, everytime I needed a suit, I'd go there, find the most expensive one, and bring it to the counter. After they ring it up, I tell them to jam it and why." I always planned to throw a cinder block thru their window with a note "you deserve a brick today" but I was always in a rush getting in the water, and too satisfied after surfing to care.
So, after I found out Pete was with freedom, I went in, found a beautiful wooden long board, $1500, took it to the counter, and after they rung it up,I told them why I wasn't buying it and to tell Pete to blow me.

\nAny other positive board shop experiences? I'm all for keeping it local. Not a big fan of anon Internet sites, no matter what the price is.

However, I can go to e-bodyboarding.com, and when I have a question, Jay, as in former almost as great as Mike Stewart, Jay Reale will actually e-mail me back with very real answers to questions, or I can go online to any number of various shaper sites, either for surfboards or bodyboards (NMD comes to mind) and get very real answers to very serious equipment questions. Thus, the idea of anonymous internet sites is a complete and total farce. I get way better service online then I've ever got in any local shops in 30+ years in the water, so to tell me to be positive about kids who have no knowledge beyond whats in the latest magazine at the local shop is to tell me to stick my head in the sand and accept poor service. I don't think so. I refuse to shop local because the shops tend to be expensive and pretentious. In a world where its all about who you know, nobody knows me, because I spend my time surfing not trying to prove to some young kook how cool I am by surfing at the overcrowded spots, no matter where it is that I'm surfing.
If you want positive, its very hard for me to find a reason for me to give you any, but in VA Beach there is one minor exception, Austin Surfboards. There I find kindness, openness, and general Aloha. Everywhere else, and even at Freedom, for all those who proclaim its awesomeness, I find snobbery. I don't care to spend a lot of money on my sport, and at Freedom I feel as if I'm a lesser because of this choice. My fave there was I went in looking for a basic straw lifeguards hat, and the girl told me she'd lifeguarded for years and never heard of such a thing. There on the rack was one from Billabong. My problem is, I wanted one without some logo - a near impossible quest I know but excuse me for my peculiarities. Local shops just in general plain suck, the service sucks, and the prices super suck.

\nA really good post by TGThumbs. Thumbs up.....(couldn't help it, sorry)
\nThe reality is that it is simply about client service: the company that values your business will understand that doing whatever it takes, within reason, will earn the business. The 'Net allows all of us to reach the best shapers & the best surf shops in the world.
\nI mentioned Rusty Surfboards in a previous post. Just a really impressive positive, professional, helpful attitude from the guys there. Others, like Austin (awesome dude, superb client care, gorgeous boards) are out there, too.
\nIt seems that too many 'local' surf shops are aimed at nailing the tourons to the wall on pricing. Maybe that's how some shops meet their overhead. But that m.o. won't generate repeat biz from the surfers who would / could be the local shop's core business.

Aww do you babies need your hand held when you shop. I never herd so much crying. Were do you go that you actually get this dream service, No Where. Get over it kooks. If you go in a shop to buy a board you should already know what your looking for, unless you dont know how to surf. So the guy working picks up on your kookyness and they dont want another b**** sitting on a board at first street. Sounds like you all go in the shops with these attitudes of course no one wants to help you I know if I worked in one and you came in I would tell you to kick rocks. cry babies

WRV is local. IF you are having trouble with the employees, Call the 757 number and ask for Dave. He is a good guy and has been around since I was a kid. He is either manager, owner, something, but definitely a lifer. Seasonal help, on the other hand, is sometimes shady. These guys are "too cool" for a real job. They are $10/hr celebrities. "I F**king run this place, kook". Let them have their fun. I wouldn't let it ruin your day any more than the b***h on her cell phone at the counter in the filling station. If you want a circle jerk at the counter go to Freedom surf shop and buy a $40 tee shirt that looks like it came from a yard sale... I mean, "I don't know what to tell you, man."

Good service is still hard to find. You would think that in these tough times where people are generally more selective as to where and how they spend their money, businesses would focus on their service practices to compete with the other guys.
Surf shops are the worst. I have one mentality when walking into a shop, and that's go grab whatever I need and gtfo. I'm over the attitude and bad service. Before I go in and make a major purchase, I'll just do my research so I don't have to end up talking to one of the lazy and unknowledgable punks they hire and screw up with my head since I can be so easily distracted. There's only one shop here where the owner himself runs the register, and I talk with him for 15-20 minutes whenever I'm there. It's small and he doesn't have everything, but it's where I go to get the basics: wax, leash, ding repair, rashguard, etc.

yankee....everytime i go in there (4 times total) it's been the same thing...the employees have no clue about anything they sell...they literally read the descriptions of theboards off the sticker. Also, they had no idea on any of the brands of boards in their used selection and said " we don't know other brands, just ours". I got a nugget from them and when the guy was putting on my new traction bad, he accident tore a chunk off it and acted like it was no big deal.."you still want it?" no i do not want to pay full price on a torn traction pad....and i paid straight cash on it and he said he would get me a deal and gave me 15% off the pad i did actually buy...place is a joke. The board is nice though. I wish i could order it online and just pick it up at the shop without having to talk to anyone.

\nI really like going over to Austin Saunders surf shop in VB. Cool guy, passionate about surfing, will spend as much or as little time with you talking, looking, designing boards as you want. First time I met the guy was at his old shop, kind of like a Quonset Hut structure on the outskirts of town. Within minutes he was giving us a tour of the place, letting us check out the blanks, the wood that he was using to make alaias, we were there for over an hour - - and this was when he was in the midst of making boards, so he took time from his day for us.

In any customer-centric business it starts at the top...if ownershipgeneral management accepts and/or ignores shoddy employee performance then that's the level of service you'll undoubtedly receive. And WRV VB is a classic example. Their owner is what he is...

Brave New World in Little Silver, NJ. Guys who work upstairs in the board and "equipment" room are extremely knowledgable and helpful. I have seen BNW get a bad rap on here in the past, and to be honest, just bought a used board with my nephew down in Point this summer, and the guys did not give us the time of day. Went there off the suggestion of the guys in LS because have a much bigger used board inventory. Not in a rush to go back to Point Pleasant, but Chris and the guys in Little Silver are legit and great to deal with.

Ryan at 17th Street in VB. A true waterman across the board...very knowledgeable and has a great deal of experience in the industry. He runs the Strawbridge location, but should be running the whole show.
WRV, I don't think Dwayne would stand for that incident.

It's a shame to hear about your WRV shopping experience. Every shop is going to be different, as every head is going to be different. WRV is one of the larger East Coast labels and I hope that they "fix the glitch" to ensure continued success.

Obviously they've done some things right over the years or else they wouldn't be where they are today. However, most great businesses eventually fail and close up shop when they lose touch with customers or potential customers. When these local shops take on the "big business" philosophies (which is kind of ironic in the surfing industry), they are changing what made them great in the 1st place. Nothing wrong with these businesses being successful and making big money, but when you lose touch with what it was like trying to build your name, and build a business, you lose sight of what it was all about to begin with. Sure, profit is nice, and #1 priority of being in business, but #2 should always be taking care of your customers, and it's guys like "Shane" who take years and years of hard work and sacrifice by the people who started that company from the ground up and basically sh*t all over them and their dream.

My dad has been surfing on WRV boards since about a year after they opened. I learned on an old 1968 WRV funboard and loved going to their VA beach store and the OBX store as I was growing up. 4 years ago I ordered 6 customs from them some for me, some for friends. The custom ordering experience was decent, but we hit a lot of bumps in the road along the way primarily having to do with the Kitty Hawk store manager Micki and the fact that it's next to impossible to talk to the shapers. WRV won't give you contact information. If the shaper feels they want to talk to you, they will call you. Luckily on my forms I had asked them to call me so I could actually talk to the shaper!
\n2 years later I was ready for 2 more boards. I got in touch with the guys down at the Kitty Hawk store since that's where I ordered my stuff from and sent them the order sheets over. I called to verify they got them and they were going to get the quotes and call me back in a few days. After a few days, I never heard from them. I called them back, and they were "still working on the pricing." I waited another month and called again. Still nothing. This time they lost the sheets I faxed to them. They asked that I fax them again, so...I did.
\nAfter another month of waiting, nothing. No prices still. I called and they said they still didn't have the prices. To this day, I'm still waiting on prices. That was 2 years ago. I gave up on them.
\nSince then I have gone to the Bing shaping facility in Encinitas, CA and met with Matt Calvani and Margaret there. They were MORE then happy to talk to me, take me all around the facility, show me blanks and talk boards. I have since bought 4 Bing's and will have more to come. While I was there I also stopped next door and talked to Todd Bahne at Fins Unlimited and took a tour of their factory. It was a great experience and one that helped me realize how terrible WRV is with customer service.
\nThe weekend before labor day I had stopped in at the Kitty Hawk WRV on my way through town just to see what they had these days...As I was there the store manager, Micki (who has been there forever and ALWAYS has the I'm better then you attitude) was there. Someone was applying for a job in the shop. As Micki read through the guys application on the sales floor all he did was belittle and berate the guy saying he wasn't worth the $10.00 he was asking because life guarding doesn't help him sell boards and clothes. I feel doing that is extremely unprofessional and turned me away once again from doing business with them. It's been 4 years since I bought anything from any of the WRV shops.

@roos3342 So you fill out an order form and that's how you get a 'custom' board? That sux if that's how it is done with these big name shapers nowadays.
I've never really had any luck with custom board anyways. All of my boards are locally shaped, but the ones I use all the time are stock boards, not customized.

I think that as a customer, you have a right to expect good service from the businesses you patronize, and if you don't get it, you take your money elsewhere. I've seen a few points on this thread about how businesses that put profit above the customer deserve to fail or something along those lines. I disagree. You can be in business solely for profit, but if you fail to understand that every cent of profit you earn comes from the hard work of your customers and the fact that they are willing to trade that hard work for your product/service, then you don't understand your business.

we are talking about surfers here....The guy was probably pissed off that he was stuck in the shop while it was firing. not to say his attitude was right but I can understand it and have seen it a billion times over the years. some shops are like that (to be fair, i have no clue how WRV operates). They serve locals and do ok with that. If they don't know you, then they tend to be standoffish. If that is the way this shop works then go somewhere else.

I never feel comfortable going into a surf shop so if I'm ignored I'm OK with it. However, Shane's attitude does reflect on the company in a negative way. Having said that as a restaurant owner I've seen customers come in with an attitude which makes difficult to be pleasant to them...

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
In 2011, Knight Foundation granted $100,000 to the Philadelphia Mural Project. The Project brought Dutch artists Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn (Haas & Hahn), known as the Favela Painters, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Philadelphia to produce their first permanent art projects in North America. This month Kaid Benfield writes about the project's impact on North Philadelphia for Switchboard's National Resources Defense Council blog. Read an excerpt below and click here to read the entire piece.Photo courtesy of Switchboard Natural Resources Defense Council blog
Reprinted from Switchboard.nrdc.org:
As I have written before, I believe strongly that a thriving inner-city cultural environment contributes to a healthy economic and social environment, which in turn produces significant benefits to the things we value in our natural environment: this is because the most effective antidote to the kind of sprawling outward development that has consumed our landscape, polluted our waterways and escalated harmful emissions across the US over the past half-century is a strengthening of our existing communities. We particularly need our inner cities to be the kinds of places that will be loved and will endure – that will literally be sustained - over time. The human ecosystem is complex and, while making it healthy also requires a lot of things besides art, a holistic approach to placemaking that includes a key role for culture – especially homegrown culture – is essential.
That, it appears to me, is exactly what Philly Painting (a Knight Arts grantee) is doing. To date, it is the most ambitious of many great projects sponsored by Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program, the nation's largest initiative of its kind.

Earnings and saving down in August
Americans earned less in August, the first decline in nearly two years. With less income, consumers could cut back on spending and weaken an already-fragile economy. Their lower pay explains why consumers increased spending at a slower pace in August. And most of the increase went to pay higher prices for food and gas. When adjusted for inflation, spending was flat. Many people tapped their savings to cover the steeper costs. The savings rate fell to its lowest level since December 2009. Consumer spending rose 0.2 percent in August, after growing 0.7 percent in July, the Commerce Department said. Incomes fell 0.1 percent, which was the first decline since October 2009.
Mortgage rates lower than ever in U.S.
Mortgage rates have skated near record lows for weeks. But now it can finally be said: Long-term rates in the United States have never been lower. This week, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 4.01 percent, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said. That is the lowest since it began keeping records in 1971. Today's average 30-year rate is even lower than the average 20- or 25-year rate was in the 1950s. If you include fees and points comparable to today's low rates, the 1950-51 average would be 4.33 percent, Freddie Mac said. Today's average on the 30-year, with extra fees factored in, is 4.17 percent. The average on a 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, also ticked down to 3.28 percent this week. Economists say that is the lowest rate ever for that loan.

U.S. auto sales likely at pre-tsunami level
Toyota and Honda's return to full production this month is boosting U.S. auto sales back near the pace reached before Japan's earthquake. September light-vehicle sales, to be released Monday, probably rose to a 12.8 million seasonally adjusted annual rate, the average estimate of 14 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. That would be the fastest pace since April, when lost output caused by Japan's tsunami crimped supply of parts and finished cars.
Verizon sues FCC over Internet 'neutrality'
Verizon Communications, the largest U.S. cell phone carrier, is suing to overturn new government regulations governing the flow of Internet traffic. The lawsuit filed in Washington's U.S. Court of Appeals contends the Federal Communications Commission overstepped its authority in setting its so-called "net neutrality" rules last year. The rules, scheduled to go into effect in two months, prohibit Internet service providers from discriminating against or giving special treatment to online services or content.

I am to authenticate username and password credentials to a Active Directory through the iOS App?
I know that this post instructs us to include the openldap in the project, BUT this post here has indicated that there are inbuilt ldap protocol that I can use to connect with the Active Directory using PHP.
Can somebody shed light on both of the topics, and pick one which would be useful for the current version of XCode.
And also, are there any examples of this that any user can share?
P.S: This is my first question in stackoverflow.

Paraphilic Coercive Disorder in the DSM: The Right Diagnosis for the Right Reasons

The recommendation to include a Paraphilic Coercive Disorder (PCD) diagnosis in the DSM-5 represents an improvement over current options and would lead to the shrinking of the pool of individuals considered for detention as Sexually Violent Predators. A precise description of the diagnostic criteria for PCD would permit psychologists and psychiatrists to use more specific and narrow criteria for those who seek sexual gratification by coercing others to engage in unwanted sexual behavior. This might permit mental health professionals to abandon the Paraphilia NOS designation in favor of the more defined PCD in appropriate cases. Various critics have attacked the proposal on what appears to be misplaced ideological grounds. Not only should ideological concerns not play a part in a scientific debate, but the critics' predictions of how the PCD diagnosis would play out in the legal arena are likely wrong. Paraphilic Coercive Disorder would give the judicial system the best opportunity to most accurately identify the small group of men who have previously committed, and are likely in the future to commit, this type of predatory sexual violence.

I have been following the guidance given on this other post:
Assigning an IronPython method to a C# delegate
This post also references another resource on the darker corners of IronPython that has some useful information:
I am trying to invoke an IronPython method from C# as a delegate. My latest attempt looks as follows (using System.Action):
IronPython Code:
delegate = Action[String](self.testErrorDelegate);
#csharp library method call
@unittest.skip("dev skipping")
def testErrorDelegate(self,message):
print "error delegate"
print message;
csharp library code:
public void InvokeAction(Action<string> listener)
Console.WriteLine("BEFORE INVOKE");
listener("DO SOMETHING");
Console.WriteLine("AFTER INVOKE");
My problem is I get no output from the python testErrorDelegate when running this. No runtime errors either. I see the C# Console.WriteLine statements but "DO SOMETHING" is never printed.
Any idea on what I could be doing wrong here?
I have also tried doing the same approach casting directly to a C# delegate from the python method. I saw the same behavior using that approach, i.e. verification of C# method call, but not return call to python code via delegate.
I am using IronPython 2.7.1 (ipy.exe).

With the Carolina Panthers season already in the garbage can through just seven games, there is talk swirling about the team trading two offensive veterans, running back DeAngelo Williams and wide receiver Steve Smith. On Tuesday, the Charlotte Observer reported that an NFC team inquired about Smith, but no further discussions have taken place. The 33-year-old wideout has spent his entire career with the Panthers, and is the franchise's all-time receiving leader and longest-tenured player. Most people expected Smith to finish his career in Carolina after he signed a three-year, $18 million extension this offseason. Williams, who signed a 5-year, $43 million extension in July, drew interest from multiple teams last week, according to the Observer. The 29-year-old Williams was replaced in the starting lineup by Jonathan Stewart last week and seems to be the likeliest candidate to be dealt. Nonetheless, head coach Ron Rivera has maintained that the team isn't looking to make any moves. The trade deadline is Thursday at 4 p.m. Be sure to check out other great articles at Sports Media 101.

Eraldo Peres, File, Associated Press
PARIS — Confronted with faulty instrument readings and alarms going off in the cockpit, the pilots of an Air France jetliner struggled to tame the aircraft as it went into an aerodynamic stall, rolled, climbed and finally plunged 38,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean in just 3½ minutes.
But the passengers on that doomed Rio de Janeiro-to-Paris flight were probably asleep or nodding off and didn't realize what was going on as the aircraft plummeted nose-up toward the ocean, the director of the French accident investigating bureau said after releasing preliminary data from flight recordings that provide new insight into the June 1, 2009, disaster.
All 228 people aboard the Airbus A330 died.
The brief, highly technical report by the BEA contains only selective remarks from the cockpit recorder, offers no analysis and assigns no blame. It also does not answer the key question: What caused the crash?
But several experts familiar with the report said the co-pilot at the controls, at 32 the youngest of the three-man cockpit crew, Cedric Bonin, may have responded incorrectly to the emergency by pointing the nose upward, perhaps because he was confused by the incorrect readings.
The plane's external speed sensors, called Pitot tubes, have long been considered a likely culprit in the disaster, with experts suggesting they may have been iced over. And the BEA investigators found that two sets of instruments on the plane gave different speed readings, with the discrepancies lasting less than a minute.
Since the accident, Air France has replaced the speed monitors on all its Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft.
An official at Airbus said the aircraft's nose should have been "slightly inclined" to enable the plane to regain lift after it had gone into an aerodynamic stall.
"This is part of the general pilot training for any aircraft," said the official. He was not authorized to speak on that subject and asked not to be identified by name.
Other aviation experts concurred. In an aerodynamic stall, a plane most often loses lift because it is traveling too slowly, and begins to fall out of the sky. Pointing the nose downward enables the aircraft to pick up speed, gain lift and pull out of the stall.
Pointing the nose up is "an inappropriate way to respond" to an aerodynamic stall, said Paul Hayes, director of air safety for aviation consulting firm Ascend Worldwide Ltd. "He either misidentified what was happening or became confused."
He cautioned that Friday's report was brief and that it was still unclear how the series of events started.
The data flight recorder and cockpit recorder were dredged from the ocean in early May, along with some bodies.
They showed, in addition to inconsistent speed readings, two co-pilots working methodically to right the plane manually after autopilot stopped. Captain Marc Dubois returned from a routine rest to the cockpit amid what moments later became an irretrievably catastrophic situation.
After the plane went into a stall, warnings sounded, the autopilot and autothrust shut off as designed, and the co-pilot not at the controls "tried several times to call the captain back," the BEA report said. The captain returned one minute and 10 seconds later, when the plane had climbed to 38,000 feet.
"During the following seconds, all of the recorded speeds became invalid and the stall warning stopped," the report said, but added that the plane never came out of its aerodynamic stall.
"The airplane was subject to roll oscillations that sometimes reached 40 degress," the report said. The engines never stopped operating and "always responded to crew commands," the BEA said.
"The pilots never panicked," BEA director Jean-Paul Troadec said on RTL radio, adding that they maintained professionalism throughout.

Quick Overview
Customer Reviews
feet feel great Review by Teri
Value Quality Price
I bought these insoles for my husband. (I have been using them for myself for several years.) After one day of wearing these insoles, in his shoes, he said "my feet feel great! I can't believe how much difference they make!" He has very arthritic knees. He usually wears out a pair of shoes in a few months, due to his gait. (Posted on 8/1/2015)
Defintely would recommend this product for people with arthritis. Review by Elaine
Price Value Quality
I notices that my feet felt better and had more stability in my shoes. I would definitely recommend this product for people with arthritis. (Posted on 6/28/2013)
Not enough like Spenco Diabetic insoles Review by Cheryl
Price Value Quality
These are nowhere near as comfortable and cushy as the Spenco Diabetic insoles. These hurt my feet and I wish I had never spent money on them because they will be sitting in my closet. I hope I can find an insole closer to the old Spenco one...
NOTE from The Insole Store.com: The Spenco Diabetic Insoles were Discontinued. We feel the Prothotics Diasole Insoles are the closest match; however, they have a harder heat-wear moldable base that make the insoles a bit stiffer than the Spenco's; however, with the Plastazote top-coat offer the same soft pressure sensitive fabric needed for arthritic and diabetic feet.
If you have super-sensitive feet, please choose our ProThotics Comfort Gel Insoles with Plastazote top-coat.
We believe that Cheryl has super-sensitive feet and should use the Prothotic Comfort Gel Insoles. (Posted on 12/1/2012)
Good Diabetic Insoles Recommendation Review by Doris
Value Quality Price
Thank you for referring me to these Prothotic Diasole Insoles as I was disappointed Spenco no longer makes the Spenco Diabetic Insoles and you are now out of my size.
I can't find them anywhere.
You are right these Insoles are the most similar to the Spenco's old style.
Thank you -very comfortable

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - A new Log Cabin syrup looks like the real thing that's made in Vermont, right down to its packaging in a plastic jug with an "all natural" label.
But Vermont officials argue that Log Cabin All Natural Syrup contains unnatural ingredients - including caramel color and xanthan (ZAN'-than) gum - plus a mere 4 percent maple.
They want the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to investigate whether Log Cabin Syrup, a division of Pinnacle Foods LLC, is violating FDA labeling laws.
Vermont Congressman Peter Welch says the syrup "dilutes the value of one of Vermont's finest products."
Pinnacle Foods spokeswoman Michelle Weese says the company believes the new syrup complies with all FDA regulations. The FDA says it doesn't have a definition for "natural."

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A drug hailed as the U.S.'s first new therapy in more than 20 years for reducing the attacks of chest pain known as angina won federal approval Friday.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved sale of the drug Ranexa -- developed by CV Therapeutics of Palo Alto, Calif. -- for chronic angina in patients not helped by other treatments. The company said it planned to have the drug in pharmacies by late March.
More than 6 million people in this country have angina, which can produce chest pain when the heart doesn't get enough oxygen. Angina attacks often occur when a person exercises or experiences emotional stress.
Angina often occurs when there is a decrease of blood supply to the heart muscle, so it doesn't get enough oxygen, a condition known as ischemia. Surgical procedures that open clogged veins can help some but not all angina sufferers, said Dr. John Schroeder, a Stanford University cardiologist who was a paid consultant to CV Therapeutics on Ranexa's clinical tests.
Moreover, he said, medicines currently on the market in the U.S. -- including beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and nitrates -- tend to lower a patient's blood pressure or reduce their heart rate. That sometimes can result in dizziness and even fainting, which can be dangerous, especially for the elderly, he said.
Although Ranexa doesn't cure ischemia, Schroeder noted, it relieves the sodium and calcium overload that often accompanies ischemia, allowing the heart to function better and reducing painful episodes.
"It just sort of makes the machinery more efficient," Schroeder said.
Schroeder added that if someone had a heart attack, Ranexa would not prevent them from realizing it, because the pain of heart attacks tends to be so severe.
Although Ranexa is the first alternative to beta blockers and other such medicines in the U.S in more than two decades, some new types of medicine have been introduced in Europe in recent years, according to CV Therapeutics spokesman John Bluth.
Bluth said the typical angina patient would take 500 milligram pills of Ranexa twice a day, but the company hasn't determined the drug's price.
Several analysts predicted Ranexa would be a big financial boost to the company, which was founded in 1990 and has reported losses every quarter since it went public in 1996.
Bret Holley, an analyst with CIBC World Markets, said sales of Ranexa could reach $300 million annually. But Holley, who owns no stock in CV Therapeutics, cautioned that it might take a while for that to happen.
"Since there are several approved therapies for angina, this is going to be a drug that is going to take a while to gain physician acceptance," he said.
Caroline Stewart, an analyst with Morgan Joseph & Co., who also owns no stock in CV Therapeutics, believes Ranexa sales would likely begin around $36 million annually, but could reach $380 million by 2009.
"Ranexa has enormous market potential, as it works by a completely novel mechanism of action" Stewart noted in a recent report on the company.
CV Therapeutics announced the drug's approval Friday after U.S. markets closed. By the close of trading, the company's stock had risen 87 cents to $26.08.

Re: What can I expect?? Rehabbing with Windham Profession
My rehab was through a different agency even though I have Nelnet loans. Here is what has been my experience so far:
June 29th -- Made 9th rehab payment
July 13th -- Loan returned to Nelnet
July 27th -- Loan officially released from collection agency
I pulled all 3 bureaus from USAA CMS today. Collection is GONE from EX and EQ! Still showing on TU, though :-(
Nelnet reports to the CRAs on the 16th of the month. Their tradeline hasn't been updated as of yet. I'll check back in a few weeks.
Congrats for working your way through rehab. Keep up the good work!
I used to post my scores here. However, I'm prone to motion sickness and the ups and downs were nauseating.

Internships for a Recreation Administration major (self.cincinnati)
submitted 3 years ago by toylego
I've been on the search for an internship that is recreational based. For example, YMCA, boys and girls club, etc. Does anyone know of any places that may be looking for an intern for the fall 2013? I'm working at Stepping Stones this summer. Thanks everyone!
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Could probably check the MetroParks. Not sure if they are looking for interns but they have tons of programs and events.

"Tidbits about staying in Istanbul" Good Manners Tip by midnight_mike
Good Manners, Istanbul: 6 reviews and 3 photos
People who live in Istanbul identify more with Europe than Asia, but it is still a Muslim city. When you hear the call for prayer, stop talking and show respect. You might even stop what you are doing, although most of the locals do not do that.
Be sure not to confuse Turks with Arabs. They are two different people, with their own languages. Their food and culture are very similar, however. Do not mention anything about the Turkish massacre of Armenians during World War I. Also avoid any mention of conflicts between Greeks and Turks. If you befriend a Turk, you can certainly ask questions. Just be careful how you phrase the question.
Men should not wear tank tops or shirts with no sleeves. Women should not expose too much skin as it can cause a traffic accident. Men in Istanbul will stare at an attractive woman like they have never seen one before.

WASHINGTON -- Brian Bannister shut down Washington again for his first major league victory and Carlos Beltran hit a two-run homer off the facing of the upper deck, leading the New York Mets to a 7-1 victory in the Nationals' home opener Tuesday.
There were no brawls, beanballs or even brushbacks after a testy series at Shea Stadium last week that included seven batters hit by pitches -- six by Mets hurlers -- and a near fight. Baseball told the umpires for this three-game set to look out for trouble.
There was no sellout and no bouncing stands, either, at Washington's home opener, which was much more low key in just about every way than last season, when big league baseball returned after a 34-year absence to plenty of fanfare.
Bannister (1-0) allowed three hits over seven innings. The lone run he gave up came on Alfonso Soriano's homer in the seventh. The rookie held the Nationals hitless for 5 1-3 innings in his big league debut last Wednesday.
Reds 9, Cubs 2
CHICAGO -- Bronson Arroyo hit his second homer in six days off Glendon Rusch and pitched seven shutout innings, and Edwin Encarnacion's grand slam was one of six homers Cincinnati hit against Chicago.
With the wind blowing out of Wrigley Field at 17 mph, Adam Dunn hit a pair of solo shots and Ken Griffey Jr. and Arroyo had one each off Rusch. Encarnacion hit his first career slam and Austin Kearns followed with another homer.
Padres 9, Marlins 3
MIAMI -- Khalil Greene drove in four runs with two homers to help San Diego shake a slump, and the Padres spoiled Florida's home opener.
The Padres, who scored a major league-low 19 runs in the first week of the season, snapped a four-game losing streak.
Greene hit a two-out solo homer in the second and a three-run shot in the sixth. He has four of the Padres' six home runs after hitting 15 each of the past two seasons.
Woody Williams (1-0) won in his first start as a replacement for Shawn Estes, sidelined by a strained elbow.
Pirates 7, Dodgers 6
PITTSBURGH -- Ryan Doumit hit one of Pittsburgh's four homers and drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning to help the Pirates rally past Los Angeles.
Jeromy Burnitz added a two-run homer, and Craig Wilson and Doumit each hit a solo shot as the Pirates came back to avoid their first 1-8 start in 51 years.

The R's players were jeered off the pitch following Sunday's 1-1 home draw against fellow strugglers Reading to claim only their fourth league point of the campaign.
But Fernandez still believes Hughes is the right man to take the club forward, telling Sky Sports News the Welshman has his full backing.
"I have complete faith in Mark Hughes and we have a great squad, we just need to hold out for that stability and I'm sure things are going to go right," he said.
"It's been one of those frustrating seasons for us but I'm keeping the faith and keeping calm. It's not a time to panic."

Bob Capranica was a towering figure in the field of auditory neuroethology. Among his many contributions are the exploitation of the anuran auditory system as a general vertebrate model for studying communication, the introduction of a signal processing approach for quantifying sender–receiver dynamics, and the concept of the matched filter for efficient neural processing of complex vocal signals. In this paper, meant to honor Bob on his election to Fellow of the International Society for Neuroethology, I provide a description and analysis of some of his most important research, and I highlight how the concepts and data he contributed still inspire neuroethology today.

Gianni Morelenbaum Gualberto
« Back
Gianni Morelenbaum Gualberto is one of the many Brazilians who live in Milan, Italy. But he is not busy with teaching Portuguese or learning about fashion. He has directed some of the foremost music series in some of the best-know Italian theatres, starting with the Rome Opera House.
Born in 1955, Gualberto studied in Brazil, but finished his studies in Holland. He moved to Italy soon after, became an Italian citizen, and settled initially in Rome. For the next 20 years, he led a nomadic life, traveling in Europe, living for a while in New York and Tel Aviv. During this time he wrote essays and articles about classical music for Italian State Radio and television (RAI), and Italian newspapers and publishers. He also organized the music series for theatres in Rome (Rome Opera House), Milan (Teatro Manzoni, Teatro degli Arcimboldi, Teatro Pierlombardo), and Catania in Sicily (Catania Opera House).
Gualberto has had the occasion of working and collaborating with some of the most important classical musicians of our time. He feels especially privileged for his long-term relationships with many outstanding jazz musicians, from Max Roach to John Zorn. He also feels privileged for his role in spreading the knowledge of Jewish musical traditions throughout Italy.
Gualberto strongly believes in only two kinds of music: good or bad. He has spent part of his career articulating music series that can host both classical and non-classical music.
