SDSLShort for symmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines (POTS). SDSL supports data rates up to 3 Mbps.
SDSL works by sending digital pulses in the high-frequency area of telephone wires and can not operate simultaneously with voice connections over the same wires.
SDSL requires a special SDSL modem. SDSL is called symmetric because it supports the same data rates for upstream and downstream traffic. A similar technology that supports different data rates for upstream and downstream data is called asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL). ADSL is more popular in North America, whereas SDSL is being developed primarily in Europe.

Vegetarianism seems to be on the rise, with recent research suggesting as many as 12% of people in the UK are following vegetarian or vegan diets.1 The reasoning for following a vegetarian diet can vary massively from person to person, but they do offer many health benefits, such as the reduction in risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
However, some vegetarians may find they are eating too many processed foods that are high in calories, as well as fat and sodium. Others may be missing out on nutrients by not eating enough fruit. However, with a little bit of tweaking, you can ensure any vegetarian diet can provide the nutrients for people of all ages and at any stage of life, including young children and pregnant or breast-feeding women.
Getting it right
The key to a successful vegetarian diet is to know about the nutrients that your body requires, and making a plan to ensure you get them. There are a number of different vegetarian diets available. These include:
- Lacto-vegetarianism: diets which cut out meat, poultry, fish and eggs, but continue to eat dairy products
- Pescatarianism: diets which cut out meat, poultry, dairy and eggs, but contain fish
- Pollotarianism: excluding meat, dairy and fish, but include poultry
- Ovo-vegetarianism: the removal of meat, poultry, seafood and dairy products, but continue to eat eggs
- Lacto-ovo: excluding meat, poultry and fish, but continue to eat dairy and eggs
- Veganism: the removal of all animal products from the diet.
Other people may follow a semi-vegetarian diet, which includes eating a small amount of meat, or only on an occasional basis.
Having a successful plan
As with every diet, the way to ensure a vegetarian diet is healthy is enjoy a wide variety of foods. It should include plenty of fruit and vegetables, a reasonable amount of milk and dairy products (or calcium fortified alternatives like soya, rice and oat drinks) and some non-dairy sources of protein. These include eggs, beans, pulses, soya products and nuts, as well as mycoprotein products. As with any diet, you should also limit the amounts of foods high in fat and sugar you consume, too.
Before you decide which type of vegetarianism you'd like to explore, it is worth noting that the more restrictive your diet is, the more difficult it can be to get all the nutrients your body needs.
Vegans in particular can lack vitamin B-12 and calcium as they remove many of the natural sources of these nutrients from their diets. However, vegetarians of all specifications should pay close attention to their sources of a number of nutrients.
Calcium , which helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth, is usually provided by consuming milk and dairy products. However, it can also be found in dark green vegetables like turnips, kale and broccoli. There are a number of calcium-enriched products available too, such as juices, cereals and yoghurts.
Vitamin D is also important for strong and healthy bones, which is often found in milk, butter and margarine. You may need to take a vitamin D supplement if you don't consume enough , especially if you have limited exposure to the sun.
Vitamin B-12 can be a problem for vegans as it is found almost exclusively in animal products. It helps to produce red blood cells and prevent anaemia, but a deficiency is often masked by the high amounts of folate in most vegan diets, and is only discovered by the development of severe problems. This can be avoided by using supplements, as well as eating vitamin-enriched cereals, fortified soy products and certain yeast extract-based foods such as Marmite®.
Getting enough omega-3 fatty acids without consuming eggs and fish can be difficult too, although you can find fatty acids in canola oil, walnuts and soybeans. They aren't quite as effective though, so fortified products or supplements are probably a good idea.
Iodine, iron and zinc can also be problematic. You can give yourself an iodine boost by consuming a quarter teaspoon of iodized salt, while zinc is found in cheese and whole grains, soy products, legumes, nuts and wheat germ. It is advised that vegetarians almost double the amount of iron they consume.
Perhaps the easiest nutritional deficit to avoid is a lack of protein, which can be solved by eating eggs and dairy, as well a number of plant-based foods. If you are just eating the plant-based foods however, you should eat a variety throughout the day to ensure you get everything that you need. Good sources include soy products and meat substitutes, as well as nuts, legumes, lentils and whole grains.
Tips for getting started
- Gradually reduce your meat intake, and increase the number of fruits and vegetables you eat
- Try old favourite recipes without the meat, and instead add more greenery
- Increase the number of meat-free meals you eat on a weekly basis
- Experiment with meals, browse the internet for recipe suggestions or pick up some vegetarian cookbooks.
Remember, the key to a successful diet is variety, so the more meals you find, the more likely you are to get all the nutrients you need.

Document › Details
Boehringer Ingelheim. (12/16/10). "Press Release: Boehringer Ingelheim and Orexo Report Progress in Their Pain and Inflammatory Diseases Collaboration". Uppsala & Ingelheim.
Orexo AB (STO: ORX) and Boehringer Ingelheim announced today that Boehringer Ingelheim has selected a development candidate resulting from the worldwide exclusive research, development and commercialisation agreement which Boehringer Ingelheim had signed in November 2005 with Biolipox, a Swedish research-based pharmaceutical company acquired by Orexo in October 2007. The aim of the collaboration is to develop a new class of medication with a novel mechanism of action for the treatment of pain and inflammatory diseases. The selection of a development candidate has triggered a milestone payment of 6.5 million to Orexo.
The terms of the agreement foresee further potential milestone and royalty payments. Boehringer Ingelheim is responsible for all further compound development and marketing. In the Nordic and Baltic countries Orexo has the option to co-promote the products arising from this collaboration. The co-promotion option would enable Orexo to build up its own commercialisation capabilities within the field of inflammatory pain.
The collaboration is focused on Orexo's initial research on prostaglandin (PG) E2. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an endogenous substance of the human body that is central to various inflammatory processes. The project is aiming at the development of a medication which specifically targets PGE2 synthesis inhibition. Such selective inhibition could lead to a compound with the potential for fewer side effects than existing pain and inflammation medications, such as the NSAIDs.
"We remain impressed by the quality of Orexo's expertise in the area of arachidonic acid pathways", says Prof. Wolfgang Rettig, Corporate Senior Vice President Research at Boehringer Ingelheim. " The medical need in the area of pain and inflammation is considerable and this collaboration has the potential to address the patients' and physicians' need for a new treatment regarding safety and efficacy."
"We are delighted to report this significant progress in our collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim, a global player with expertise in the inflammatory pain area and an excellent partner for Orexo. By combining our skills and resources, we are convinced that new and better drugs will sooner be available, for millions of patients," says Dr Torbjörn Bjerke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orexo."
About Orexo
Orexo is a pharmaceutical company focusing on developing treatments for pain and inflammation. Orexo is developing proprietary products based on its proven reformulation technologies, targeted at the Specialty Pharmaceutical market. Orexo intends to commercialise some of these products itself in one or more major markets. Its development activity builds on Orexo's core competences in R&D, which have previously resulted in several successful products, currently out-licensed through worldwide partnership agreements to larger pharmaceutical companies.
Today, Orexo has four products on the market of which Abstral® is a leading product for the treatment of breakthrough pain in cancer patients in most of Europe.
Orexo also has three significant partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies for research and development programs: discovery stage collaborations with Ortho-McNeil Janssen and Janssen Pharmaceutica in respiratory inflammation and with Boehringer Ingelheim for pain, both within the arachidonic acid cascade and a clinical stage development agreement with Novartis in gastrointestinal disorders.
Orexo's head office is located in Uppsala, Sweden. More information can be found at www.orexo.com
About Boehringer Ingelheim

Speak Out 9/18/11
Great teacher
READING in Speak Out about great teachers, I would like to applaud Mr. Lewis, second grade teacher at St. Vincent's School in Cape Girardeau. He is a wonderful teacher and he deserves nothing but praise. He's caring and concerned about the little ones. It's a great impact on their lives to have somebody like him when they're so young to do the nice things that he does, and I think that he's a wonderful teacher. My grandson was a little leery about having a man teacher because he's had all women teachers, and he just thinks Mr. Lewis is awesome.
Unions needed
TEACHERS and nurses are indeed professionals. However, in answer to a Speak Out comment, many belong to unions because, though often patronized, they aren't treated as professionals and join unions to try to get assistance in getting the wages, benefits, working conditions and other protections they deserve.
Jobs plan
IT is obvious Obama has no confidence in his proposed jobs plan. He has asked for even more money for extended unemployment benefits. If his jobs plan was effective, there would be more people working and fewer people on unemployment. But then again, he believes that paying people not to work is an economic stimulus. If that were the case, we would be in an economic boom.
Bank layoffs
BANK of America is laying off 30,000 people. Let's raise taxes. That should cure the problem. Let's see, what kind of government jobs can we offer those folks? Will out-of-work bank employees be interested in "shovel ready" jobs? Oh well, the president will figure it out.
Other team names
AS a Caucasian of Irish decent I am highly offended by the following sports teams' names and mascots and demand that they immediately be changed or dropped: New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Boston Celtics, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Vikings, Purdue Boilermakers, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Pirates, Seattle Mariners and Indiana Hoosiers. In addition, I also find the name New York Giants offensive to tall people and want that changed, too.
War protests
THE anti-war activists who were publicly protesting in Cape Girardeau were expressing their opposition to the unjustified and unnecessary war in Iraq, a war President Obama has wound down.
Higher taxes
FROM the 1940s through the 1970s our country prospered and became the dominate power in the world. This was during a period of very high tax brackets for the extremely wealthy (up to 90 percent). This was not a coincidence. When it is expensive for the wealthy to take their money out of their businesses, they leave it in and grow the business.
Fighting Irish
I'M of Irish descent and the Notre Dame University mascot offends me. Let's do something about that.
Change mascot
I hope the Jackson School will take some action to change their mascot from an Indian, which is derogatory, to the Native Americans. We've got Bulldogs, we've got Redhawks, we've got Tigers, we've got Rams, we've got Eagles. Surely the school board and the superintendent can pick out something that's not derogatory to Native Americans.
Children's safety
On Sept. 9, my 12-year-old grandson was playing outside his home with his friend. A car pulled from the main street next to the boys. A man jumped out and grabbed my grandson's personal PlayStation. My grandson asked for it back. When he reached for it, the man started hitting him in the face and the PSP fell and broke. My grandson received multiple lacerations to face and trauma to his head. His glasses were broken in four places. The assailant got into his car and drove away. What kind of person would do this to a child? What has our society become? It's time to take action. Our children are our future and without them we have nothing.

Along with a few other independent booksellers and librarians, Karl Pohrt—owner of the amazing Shaman Drum Bookshop to China to attend the Beijing Book Fair, and give this speech on independent bookselling in America.
Additionally, he's wrote a daily blog about the trip, which can be found in its entirety here.
Karl's back in the States now, but has a couple of thoughts about the trip that are definitely worth sharing.
Postscript to China Report #2: Deep Literacy
for Paul Yamazaki, Lawrence Ferlinghetti & City Lights Bookstore
I ended my presentation in Beijing with this appeal to our bookseller comrades:
The social, political and ecological issues we all face are absolutely daunting, and we need a literate citizenry with attention spans long enough to honor the complexity and subtlety of these problems. I first heard the phrase deep literacy from my friend Paul Yamazaki, and I believe this is where we begin to solve our problems—with a commitment to deep literacy.
The first question someone asked me following the talk was: "What do you mean by 'deep literacy'? How can we do that?" I mumbled something to the effect that this wasn't meant to be programmatic, that the phrase "deep literacy" is richly suggestive.
It was clear to me that my answer wasn't going to get me a pass with this audience, so I briefly talked about the medieval monastic tradition of Lectio Divina, of reading as a kind of prayer or meditation, but given the baffled looks I was getting, I don't think this was a satisfactory explanation. Either that or what I was saying wasn't getting translated into anything that made sense in Chinese.
So I wanted to offer some reflections on the topic of deep literacy in the hopes that maybe we could get a conversation going about this. Maybe we could figure out how to reverse the direction we seem to be headed in, buck the historical trend. Maybe we could start something.
Some synonyms for Deep are complex, focused, discerning, resonant. The opposite of Deep is shallow, trivial, diluted, light.
When we think about Literacy, I believe we tend to think in terms of two stages: Illiterate (stage 1) until we become literate when we learn to read at age 6 (stage 2). This is an impoverished view of a lifelong process.
Here are some books and an essay I've come across that I think are particularly interesting:
Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf (HarperCollins). Ms. Wolf, director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts, has synthesized a vast amount of information in this wonderful book about the complex processes that make up literacy. She never loses sight of the miraculous gift of reading.
In the Vineyard of the Text: A Commentary to Hugh's Didascalicon, Ivan Illich (University of Chicago Press). In 1128 Hugh of St. Victor wrote a guide to the art of reading, which he saw as a moral activity that would result in enlightening the heart and mind. Illich argues that Hugh inaugurated the culture of bookishness from which we have now exited for a new social reality—the culture of the screen. This is a learned, clear and brilliant book.
Sacred Reading: The Ancient Art of Lectio Divina, Michael Casey (Liguori/Triumph). Casey, a Cistercian monk firmly grounded in Benedictine monasticism, has written "a book of instruction" for the practice of sacred reading. Written for a lay religious audience, it is particularly helpful in discussing the difficulties practitioners may encounter in this meditative tradition.
Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading, Eugene H. Peterson (Eerdmans). Peterson writes personally and his tone is pastoral. The title comes from a strange and interesting metaphor in Revelations (10:9-10):
I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me, "Take it, and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth." And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it; it was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
A Theology of Reading: The Hermeneutics of Love, Alan Jacobs (Westview). Jacobs, an English professor and Auden scholar, has written a smart book about what it means to read charitably. He is very well read—from Aristotle and Augustine to Bakhtin and Ricoeur—and his book is a joy to read.
The Seventy Faces of Torah: The Jewish Way of Reading the Sacred Scriptures, Stephen M. Wylen (Paulist Press). Despite Wylen's linkage of Jewish critical methods of reading Torah with contemporary Deconstruction theory, this is largely a historical description of traditional Jewish interpretive readings of the scriptures. It is a clearly written explication of a complicated subject.
Reflections on the Right Use of School Studies with a View to the Love of God, Simone Weil, Waiting for God (HarperCollins). In this nine page essay Weil argues that the point of reading (in fact, all school studies) is to develop our powers of concentration for prayer. She moves beyond the efficaciousness of religious texts to an over-the-top inclusiveness—all reading…"thought of in this way is like a sacrament."
This is by no means an exhaustive list, and I'm interested in what you've read that you would recommend.
You have undoubtedly noticed that most of these books articulate religious ideas about reading. Judaism and Christianity are both scriptural religions after all, and—speaking personally—it is clear to me that my childhood religious education profoundly shaped my ideas about books. I attended a small Presbyterian church when I was young, and I grew up believing there was a book—the Bible—that explained the mysteries of the world. I fell away from the church, but I continued to believe that there was a book out there somewhere that broke the world open for lucky readers.
The books and essay I mention that use religious understandings of reading are all essential, but maybe the God talk unnecessarily complicates what are some fairly simple propositions:
Reading is an experience—a process really—that changes and deepens as we age.
During a publisher luncheon a few years ago, Christopher Hitchens told me that he thought you have to be of a certain age to read Proust. He's right. There are books that were closed to me in my 20s, 30s and 40s that have opened now. I find this is one of the consolations of growing older.
We can increase the quality of attention we bring to reading with practice.
In this way, becoming a sophisticated reader is like getting good at sports or learning how to throw a pot.
Perhaps these points are banal and obvious. These are the same things, after all, that I was taught when I was six years old by the librarian at Civic Park Elementary School in Flint, Michigan in the 1950s. But they are worth repeating.
This is a photograph my wife Dianne took in 1992 at the Tikse Gompa, a Buddhist monastery in Ladakh. Note the monk's intensity. He is reading a Buddhist sutra out loud (just as we're told Christian monks did in the Middle Ages) from a book whose individual pages are each a single block print of text. This is pre-Guttenberg.
In this religious tradition, monastics go through a long period of preparation before they are allowed to see a religious text, and then they commit it to memory.
What is the difference between the reading experience of this monk and the way you read?
Finally, I want to call your attention to Single-Minded Way, a teisho by the Soto Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki in Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. Substitute "read" for "cook" in the following:
To cook . . . is not preparation, according to Dogen; it is practice. To cook is not just to prepare food for someone or for yourself; it is to express your sincerity. So when you cook you should express yourself in your activity in the kitchen. You should allow yourself plenty of time; you should work on it with nothing in your mind, and without expecting anything. You should just cook! That is also an expression of our sincerity, a part of our practice.
I'm particularly intrigued by the word sincerity here. Isn't sincerity an odd but appropriate word to use in this context?
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .

Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .

We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .
Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's La Superba is appropriately titled after the Italian city of Genoa, where, after escaping the pressures of fame in his own country, the semi-autobiographical narrator finds himself cataloguing the experiences of its mesmerizing inhabitants with the intention. . .
It took reading 44 pages of Intervenir/Intervene before I began to get a sense of what Dolores Dorantes and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez were up to. Recurring throughout these 44 pages—throughout the entire book—are shovels, shovel smacks to the face, lobelias—aha!. . .

The Story
Conflicting Hearts touches on a taboo subject, but one that is very real to many women in today's society. Though this is a fictional work, that actually documents a factual event in another person's life, it has the power to open the eyes of readers to better understand those who have suffered sexual abuse as a child.
Written with a sprinkle of humor, brutal reality, and sizzling romance, it is a book that some readers claim should be read by every woman. For those who are victims, it gives hope that healing and healthy relationships are possible.

Rachel Hayward hoped to have a quiet thirtieth birthday alone. Instead, fate had different plans.
Caught in traffic and late for work, Rachel takes her eyes off the road to gawk at the accident and rear-ends the car in front of her. Sick over having ruined her day, she lowers her head and waits for the driver to begin a tirade over her stupidity. Instead, a kind man taps on her window showing genuine concern.
The brief colliding encounter suddenly starts a relationship between two strangers that takes off under odd circumstances. When intimacy begins, their relationship turns into a conflicting set of needs. Ian is tenderhearted and respectful, but Rachel desires aggressiveness from a man. The clash of desires threatens to tear them apart. As a result, she is faced with the decision to leave the man she loves or finally confront the painful secret of her childhood.

Jeremiah 22:17-30New King James Version (NKJV)
17 "Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness,
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
"They shall not lament for him,
20 "Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
Message to Coniah
24 "As I live," says the Lord, "though Coniah[a] the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet on My right hand, yet I would pluck you off; 25 and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose face you fear—the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 So I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country where you were not born; and there you shall die. 27 But to the land to which they desire to return, there they shall not return.
28 "Is this man Coniah a despised, broken idol—

Senator Al Franken speaks out against AT&T's purchase of DirecTV
Appearing on CNN's New Day, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) voiced his concerns regarding the recent deal that would see AT&T purchasing DirecTV for $48.5 billion. Asked about the mega-merger, Franken pointed out that the deal would likely raise prices further for consumers, and likely treads on antitrust grounds.
Senator Franken questions Samsung over Galaxy S5 security concerns
United States Senator Al Franken has issued a letter to Samsung, questioning the security of its newest device, the Galaxy S5, in regard to its fingerprint scanner. Franken hopes that the company will be able to shed light on the privacy concerns surrounding the scanner, specifically approaching the use of a permanent fingerprint as a security measure. Franken was also responsible for a letter sent to Apple addressing similar concerns in 2013 over the Touch ID reader in the iPhone.
Comcast lobbyists funding 87 percent of TWC merger oversight officials
Comcast is scheduled to appear before Congress to defend its proposed $45 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable. Records have recently been uncovered that show Comcast's political action committee having given contributions to 15 of 18 Senate Judiciary Committe members, and 32 of 39 members of the House Judiciary Committee. Both committees have scheduled hearings regarding the merger, and can allow -- or prevent -- the buyout from happening.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts.

Comments about Smart Destinations Shedd Aquarium:
Visited less than a year ago and was able to use explorer pass at Shedd. Not the case anymore, you have to buy the all inclusive pass to add this attraction. My son will be bummed this time around during our visit this month as we will have to exclude aquarium from our list due to our explorer pass.
Comments about Smart Destinations Shedd Aquarium:
This was my first time experiencing an aquarium so I have nothing to compare to, but as far as "my opinion" goes, this is a really nice place to go. Going into this I knew I'd be facing crowds but there were times my daughter and I could find ourselves on a slightly different rhythm, which made things better. All in all I recommend it.

Comments about Smart Destinations Shedd Aquarium:
Anyone who has been to the Shedd knows the worst part is the line. With our Go Chicago cards we were able to skip the line and get inside right when it opened. My kids LOVED it and I couldn't believe how much there was to see. This might become an annual family trip and I will definitely use the Go Chicago card every time.
