Fox News Gives GOP Senator A Pass For Botching Constitutionality Of Gun Laws
Fox News correspondent John Roberts ignored Sen. Ted Cruz [1]'s inaccurate claim that gun violence prevention is "unconstitutional" while guest hosting Fox News Sunday. The following morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough highlighted Roberts' failure to correct Cruz's extreme talking point, one that even conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia rejected in District of Columbia v. Heller.
From the January 6 edition of Fox News Sunday (via Nexis):
ROBERTS: Gun control -- you probably heard the last segment. We're talking about 10 bills introduced in the House of Representatives regarding gun control. Joe Biden is leading a study group at the White House. You are a fierce defender of Second Amendment rights. You were in like 2010, given the NRA's Freedom Fund Award.
Is there any new gun control that you would accept?
CRUZ: The reason we are discussing this is it the tragedy in Newtown. And every parent, my wife and I, we've got two girls aged 4 and aged 2 -- every parent was horrified at what happened there. To see 20 children, six adults senselessly murdered, it takes your breath away.
But within minutes, we saw politician running out and trying to exploit this tragedy, try to push their political agenda of gun control.
I do not support their gun control agenda for two reasons. Number one, it's unconstitutional.
ROBERTS: But is there that you would accept?
CRUZ: I don't think the proposals being discussed now makes sense.
Cruz's repetition of the NRA talking point [2] on Fox News Sunday that the "gun control agenda" is "unconstitutional" was especially notable because he is a well-credentialed attorney who clerked [3] for former Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that "gun control" is not unconstitutional [4], most recently in the landmark ruling of Heller that clarified the individual right to possess firearms. In fact, Cruz's endorsement of the NRA position is not only legally incorrect, it contradicts Justice Scalia's majority opinion [5]:
Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.
[N]othing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. [United States v.] Miller said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those "in common use at the time." We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of "dangerous and unusual weapons.
Because Cruz, a new Republican member [6] of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is expected to know very recent and high-profile Supreme Court precedent, Fox's Roberts should have given Cruz an opportunity to correct himself on the constitutionality of "gun control." As explained [7] by The New York Times in reference to the reports of the gun violence prevention task force recommendations [8] that Cruz was commenting on, "[a]lthough the N.R.A. is sure to cry "Second Amendment!," the truth is that there's not a single Second-Amendment restriction in Mr. Biden's law-enforcement approved list."
Instead, that task fell to Scarborough and fellow Morning Joe regulars, who questioned how Cruz and Fox News Sunday could botch Heller without any explanation or follow-up:
SCARBOROUGH: Let me ask you a question, Mark Halperin. You know Ted Cruz, right?
MARK HALPERIN: I do.
SCARBOROUGH: A smart, gifted guy?
HALPERIN: He's a very smart man.
SCARBOROUGH: Has he ever read the Constitution, do you know?
HALPERIN: I'm certain that he has.
SCARBOROUGH: Isn't he like a lawyer, or something like that?
HALPERIN: He is, he's an esteemed lawyer, he was Solicitor General of Texas...
SCARBOROUGH: He's a Harvard Law graduate. So you think he's probably read a Supreme Court case before?
HALPERIN: I'm certain he has.
SCARBOROUGH: You think maybe he's read Heller, the Supreme Court...
HALPERIN: Seminal...
SCARBOROUGH: Seminal case on the Second Amendment, on the definition of what's constitutional and unconstitutional, you think he's read that?
HALPERIN: Probably.
SCARBOROUGH: It's hard to know, but you would think he probably would, right? Because if he had...
HALPERIN: He would know?
SCARBOROUGH: He would not say that background checks are unconstitutional. Or any of the things that have been brought up are unconstitutional. Because the Supreme Court clearly and unequivocally said that Americans have a right to keep and bear arms, and that means keeping handguns in their home. That means being able to protect their families in their home. But they gave wide latitude to the government to regulate guns in every way that people determine.
I disagree with a lot of [Sen.] Dianne Feinstein's suggestions and recommendations, but background checks, the banning of military-style assault weapons, the banning of high-capacity magazine clips, it's all constitutional under Heller. It's not even a close call.

Apple Gets Its Panties in a Bunch Over Nude Photos on 500px App
Tiffany Kaiser
January 23, 2013 1:24 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Both the 500px and ISO500 apps (both made by 500px) have been removed from the App Store
Apple pulled the 500px photography app from its App Store yesterday, complaining that it's too easy for users to
find nude pictures
500px is a photographic community that lets users share artistic and inspiring pictures. It has been available in the App Store since October 2011 with no complaints, but when 500px wanted to release an updated version of the app for iOS, Apple put a quick stop to it and removed the app from its store for iOS.
"The app was removed from the App Store for featuring pornographic images and material, a clear violation of our guidelines," said Apple in a statement. "We also received customer complaints about possible child pornography. We've asked the developer to put safeguards in place to prevent pornographic images and material in their app."
500px disagrees with Apple's complaints. According to the Toronto-based startup, nude photos are not easy to find on its app at all. A user cannot simply launch the app and find nude photos. The app is defaulted to a safe search mode, where any nude photos are automatically hidden, and in order to turn the safe search off, users must go to their desktop to personally request the change.
Also, 500px noted that the nude photos on its app are not pornographic. They are artistic nudes that are similar to those one might find in a museum or art gallery. It is against 500px's rules to upload pornographic images, and if someone in the community breaks these rules, the image is flagged and removed.
However, 500px said it had been working on new safeguards for preventing pornographic images. It works kind of like facial recognition technology, where pornographic images are taken out of search results right away. In fact, 500px said the technology is just about done and ready to be submitted.
But Apple couldn't wait any longer, and decided to single 500px out among the other photo-sharing apps (Tumblr, Instagram). Both the 500px and ISO500 apps (both made by 500px) have been removed from the App Store. 500px is hoping they'll return now that the new technology for detecting nudes is nearly finished.

2005 Mercedes-Benz CL600 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL600 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
CD changers, command units, voice control units, PSE units, and Tele Aid units are prone to failure, especially in early models.
Front thrust arm and control arm bushings can crack and sometimes tear completely. If this is not repaired quickly, damage to the front subframe unit will occur, which is very expensive to repair. Updated control arms (that prevent damage to the subframe when the bushings wear out) are available.
The active body control system can leak fluid from numerous areas, including the tandem pump, hydraulic lines, struts, and/or seals. If it is not repaired, the vehicle ride height could drop too low and cause damage to the undercarriage.
The electrical connector at the automatic transmission may leak fluid. Over time leaking fluid could migrate through the wiring harness and damage the transmission control module. If that happens a new harness and control module may be necessary to correct the problem.
The ESP and BAS warning lights may illuminate due to a failed brake light switch. Replacement of the failed switch should correct this concern.
Due to the size and material used on the brakes of these vehicles, the brakes may start to squeak around the 50 percent wear point. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge of the rotor. Because of this, the rotors are usually replaced when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
Leaks may develop from the differential cover and/or seals on high mileage or older vehicles. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit if these leaks are addressed.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by cracked and/or shredded driveshaft flex discs, resulting in excessive driveshaft movement. If not repaired, damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, transmission, or differential can occur.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly may fail due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Engine misfires (rough running) and lack of power are commonly caused by ignition coil pack or ignition module faults. Proper diagnoses should isolate the cause and prevent unnecessary replacement of good parts.
A door control module/actuator may fail. Our technicians recommend finding an expert to repair them. Taking the door trim panels off requires expert knowledge because they can break and the pieces are very expensive.
The evaporator temperature sensor can fail, causing the AC compressor not to cycle. If the AC compressor does not turn on, the AC system will not blow cold air. If the compressor is stuck on, the air will be very cold at first, before warming up.
The center console armrest can break. Replacement is commonly the recommended repair.
Analog Tele Aid units are no longer supported and must be updated to digital, preferably at a dealership or a well-equipped independent shop. The update and all related factors should be completed at the same time.

Senators Clueless About NSA Bombshell
The newest revelations about the National Security Agency may be shocking to the rest of us. To the congressional overseers of the American intelligence services, not so much. They're still catching up from a holiday weekend. Or maybe they've just become numb to the whole spying-on-ordinary-people thing.
Using files provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, The Washington Post reported over the weekend that the NSA scooped up the communications of innocent Internet users, including Americans, and that those not targeted by the agency far outnumber those targeted by the agency.
Personal and intimate information—details on romantic relationships, résumés, pictures—for thousands of non-targeted individuals have all been caught in the NSA's surveillance driftnet, according to the newspaper.
All of that, you might think, would be a matter of some interest to the senators who control the budgets and oversee the activities of the nation's military and intelligence agencies.
Or not. Sen. Lindsey Graham—who sits on the Senate's armed services, appropriations, and judiciary committees and is one of the Republican Party's most prominent voices on defense and intelligence issues—wasn't familiar with the Postpiece.
"I don't really know the details about what they're saying in the paper. I know [NSA intelligence-gathering] is necessary. We're at war with radical Islam," Graham said.
Nearly two days after the release of The Washington Post's report, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, who has direct oversight of the NSA, was just beginning to be fully briefed in the issue.
"I'm just in the process of looking into that," Feinstein said.
Analysts for the intelligence agency hid, or "minimized," references to Americans, but in other files the Post found references to email addresses that "could be strongly linked to U.S. citizens or U.S. residents."

TTIM FOR MITT: Finally, Election Day is here and once Florida disentangles itself from its Goldbergian/steampunk election machines and Ohio finishes fighting off all desperate attempts at voting, we can find out which direction our country is going to take over the next four years.
We have been touting Barack Obama ever since he was a happy little community activist in Illinois, but the closer we've come to this day, the more heavy thinking we've done. And, let's face it, the highest-ups here have gently guided us toward the right (something about our bread being buttered on a certain side and that butter's relationship to the bleak job market for freshly fired journalists). So, in a grand example of our open-mindedness and willingness to consider all sides of an argument, we are endorsing Mitt Romney for president of your United States. And here are just 20 reasons why:
1. Turns out we have more money than we thought we had. A lot more. So we'll pay less tax under Romney. That will make us the happiest we've been in four years.
2. When we consider whether we're better off now than we were four years ago, the answer is no. When Obama took office we were only 53. That was better than the 57 we became during his time in office. Our hope for youth is rapidly dwindling. It's time for a change.
3. We look forward to the very wealthy paying less tax. More trickle-down riches for us!
4. We got hit really hard on the side of the head with a snow shovel.
5. While we like Obamacare, it was really Romney's idea. Let's have the man who invented compassion be in charge.
6. Obama isn't a big enough hero. He didn't kill Osama bin Laden. Navy SEALs did.
7. Obama is going to take all our guns and, possibly, Jesus.
8. Romney is better for the environment. He wanted to let General Motors go bankrupt. Obama instead "rescued" General Motors and its smog-spewing, oil-quaffing products.
9. Obama got a fancy law degree from Harvard. Romney got one, too, but he didn't gild the lily by being president of the Harvard Law Review. That's just gaudy.
10. Mitt is a better and probably less-Muslim middle name than Hussein.
11. Romney was born in Michigan. There's absolutely no way of knowing for sure where Obama was born, but, in absence of an undoctored videotape of his exiting his mother's womb while holding a copy of that day's Honolulu Advertiser, we have to assume he was born in Kenya.
12. Romney has gallantly apologized for "making" his dog enjoy a fun and refreshing ride strapped to the roof of Romney's car. Obama has half-heartedly apologized for smoking dope in high school.
13. Obama wants to let the federal government continue to pay for Medicare, while Romney supports letting the elderly cut their own sweet deals in the lucrative private sector.
14. We have to admit we were largely swayed by bumper stickers such as "I'll keep my freedom, guns and money, you keep your CHANGE!" and "Somewhere in Kenya or Indonesia a village is missing its idiot." What really tipped us to the Romney side was "America or Obama. You can't have both." That is so true, when you think about it. Especially after the snow-shovel incident.
15. Obama said we didn't start our small business all by ourself, which really ticked us off, even though we've never had a small business. We do, however, write all by ourself, with no government assistance other than all the things we're not thinking about because we're so puffed up with pride in the fact that we write all by ourself.
16. Romney wants things to go back to the way they were (no specific date or era; just when we were very, very happy). Obama is still clinging to that tiresome "hope" thing and the "future" of America.
17. Obama plays a lot of basketball. Perhaps too much basketball. Romney was on the pep squad in prep school. We submit that this country needs pep more than a small forward.
18. Obama said he'd help New York and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy. There's still water all over the place. Promise broken.
19. Paul Ryan wants to cut taxes for the very wealthy, end Medicare, give more tax breaks to big oil, slash education budgets, decimate Social Security and slay Big Bird. Joe Biden laughed at him during the debates. There's no excuse for bad behavior. Point: Ryan.
20. We're getting tired of blaming Bush for everything. With Romney as president, we won't have to do that anymore.

IMO we should trade jason taylor for a 1st round pick to someone like the chargers, cheifs, rams, jaguirs or even the cowboys. now dont get me wrong i like JT but he is getting older and another 1st round pick could help us with offensive line problems, if we get alex barron, jammal brown or khalif brown or LB like channing crowder, Demarcus Ware(who can play DE or LB and would be able to fill in for JT if we stay 4-3) or Kevin Burnett, but i digress. im not saying throw him away im saying get a 1st and 3rd/4th and build a young but good team through the draft and in a year where we have limited draft picks like we have this year it could prove to be very helpful. but im just one person and this is just one persons opinion

Not a bad idea football wise, but I think the team has to keep some of their few star players for marketing purposes. How many team jerseys with Feeley, Gordon, or Poole are going to sell. I would think that Taylor and Thomas would be fan favorites and make some good $$$ in apparel sales. I realize that has nothing to do with winning football games, but making money is just as important.
Hopefully in a few years Feeley will sell a lot of jerseys after he wins us a Super Bowl

I can't begin to tell you how bad of an idea this is.
First off, tell me who else you're planning on cutting with this move because the acceleration of Taylor's pro-rated bonuses (> $3.5M) will put Miami (currently $1M under) well over the salary cap?
Second, we all know that in Saban's NFL, no one is irreplaceable. But JT is about as close to that plateau as anyone on this roster is going to get. Saying goodbye to Jason Taylor would be similar to the Red Sox getting rid of Jason Varitek or the Yankees getting rid of Derek Jeter. The fan backlash would be harsh and would put Saban under the same microscope that Wannstedt was under for 4 1/2 years after he pushed Dan Marino into retirement. Somehow, I don't think that Saban (or anyone else, for that matter) would thrive under those circumstances.

No, if Wanndsdat was still here he would be giving away picks not trading FOR them.

The Indiana Birth Defects and Problems Registry (IBDPR) is a data system that collects information about children in Indiana to promote fetal health, prevent birth defects, and improve the quality of life of Indiana residents.
The earlier some birth defects are found, the better chance a baby has of living a long and healthy life.
The IBDPR collects information on birth defects and birth problems for all children in Indiana from birth to 3 years old (reportable at any age for autism spectrum disorders and up to age 5 for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders). This information is used to determine the number of children born with birth defects, to plan intervention and prevention strategies, and to offer resources to families.
State law requires that doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers send a report to the IBDPR at the Indiana State Department of Health when a child is born with a birth defect.

A hospital or health care provider informs the IBDPR that a child was diagnosed with a birth defect.
The IBDPR does not share confidential information with anyone else. By receiving this information, the Indiana State Department of Health is able to plan services for children with special health or education needs and provide resources to families.
If your child was born with a birth defect, your child's doctor may have discussed with you the specific aspects of your child's medical condition. However, there may be additional services and support available to you, your child, and your family.

Food for the elderly, mentors for at-risk kids, health care for the uninsured and dozens of other needs and programs will be supported by $7.9 million in grants from United Way of Snohomish County over the next three years.
The community grants, announced earlier this month, are up $300,000 over the local United Way's last three-year grant cycle. More than 50 volunteers on three panels set priorities and reviewed grant applications during the year-long process.
In all, 107 programs in 23 communities will receive funding.
Choosing which programs will get grant money is "a real challenge," said Karen Madsen, a former Everett School Board member who served on one of the three panels, the "Kids Matter" group.
"You think, 'Is this a need or is this a wish? Do you have money for all the needs? And if you don't, should we be funding wishes?'" Madsen said. She wants United Way donors to know that applications are carefully vetted, and that needs are balanced to serve many areas and demographics.
The panels represent major areas of need, identified by United Way as Kids Matter, Families Matter and Community Matters.
Total revenue from the agency's 2012 campaign is due to be announced in July. "Our initial results were higher," said Neil Parekh, a spokesman for the local United Way. That's why $300,000 more was available for new three-year grants. United Way of Snohomish County's total revenue for 2011 was about $9.95 million, up slightly from the prior two years.
Full Life Care, an Everett-based adult day program, received $20,000. Kristin Ott, the nonprofit agency's north regional manager, said the money will be the first from United Way in more than five years. The agency was formerly called ElderHealth Northwest.
It will make a real difference, Ott said. Full Life Care recently lost some Snohomish County funding.
"On a daily basis we serve about 80 chronically ill, disabled and developmentally disabled adults," Ott said. Full Life Care also helps younger adults suffering from traumatic brain injuries.
"The grant money came at just the right time. It will help us with mental health groups we were running," Ott said. "These support groups are almost sacred. It's a place they can talk and share their feelings."
Academic support for at-risk children is the aim of a new program that received a United Way grant. Casino Road Scholars, a partnership between YMCA of Snohomish County and the Mukilteo School District, was awarded $57,500.
Cory Armstrong-Hoss, a program director at the Mukilteo YMCA, said Casino Road Scholars, which starts in September, will be based at Horizon Elementary School. Similar to a YMCA program in Cincinnati, Casino Road Scholars will provide after-school tutoring, mentoring and other support to 30 fourth- and fifth-graders who struggle with academics. The money will help pay for a certified teacher and an assistant.
With parent permission, the Casino Road Scholars program will provide intensive after-school help, regular parent and teacher meetings, and field trips as incentives.
Armstrong-Hoss said it will be somewhat like the Y's Minority Achievers Program, which helps older students work toward college or career goals. Ideally, he said, kids in Casino Road Scholars could be helped by YMCA academic support through high school.
Armstrong-Hoss sees the realities for kids the Casino Road Scholars program will try to help. He described one boy who lives in a two-bedroom apartment with seven people. "He sleeps on the floor in the living room. He has said to us he can't study there. Some of these kids face tremendous challenges," Armstrong-Hoss said.
Madsen said grant applications are very specific. "There's accountability. They are required to set goals, and then United Way checks back in with them yearly to see how they are doing," she said. "It's not enough to say, 'You know us. We do good work.'"
Grant applicants were required to be nonprofit health or human service agencies that could provide audits or reviewed financial statements for the prior two years, and had to meet other eligibility standards.
Priorities identified by the three panels included: early learning and after-school programs; foster care and family skill building; affordable housing and emergency services; health gaps for the uninsured or under-insured; career education and help for seniors; reducing isolation due to disability, transportation or language; and reducing crime and supporting crime victims.
Even with an added $300,000 for this three-year cycle, Madsen said, "sadly, the needs are up as well."
"We didn't wish we could give money to everything. Some programs are not a good fit," she said. "We really wish we had more money to give."

In 2006, 16 million criminal victimizations befell individuals over age 12 in urban and suburban areas in the United States, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey. In these areas, approximately 76 percent of victimizations involved property and 23 percent were violent. Nearly 1 percent were purse snatching and pocket picking. Males and females were equally likely to be victimized by an offender they previously knew.
As a group, adolescents are most likely to be victimized. Individuals who have been victimized previously are at increased risk to be victimized again. Researchers in Great Britain found that just 4 percent of victims suffered more than 44 percent of victimizations.

September 11th Conspirators Face Length Military TrialKaren Greenberg on NY1, May 08, 2012
Media Source
It took ten-and-a-half years to get the accused September 11th conspirators into court, but Saturday's arraignment hearing in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba made clear that a final resolution could be many more years away.
Defense attorneys in court on Saturday raised a number of issues of fairness.
In military court, unlike civilian court, there are tight restrictions on defense attorneys and more lenient rules on what's admissible as evidence, like coerced witness statements.
Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, was among a handful of observers in the courtroom Saturday. He is a critic of military commissions, which he says are an untested system.
"Whenever you use an untried, brand-new, made-up system, there are many legal issues that that gives rise. And that takes time, and will give rise to delay," he said.
"Part of it's just defiance on the part of the defense, defendants and the defense attorneys. But part of it's just the nature of the beast. We don't know what a military commission is. We haven't had them," said Karen Greenberg, the director of the Fordham Law Center on National Security.
Adding to the trial's complexity and length is that the men face the death penalty, which the military hasn't administered in decades.
"Let's say Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is convicted. Then there will be the phase of the trial, as in Article III courts or federal courts, where they determine whether or not he'll get the death penalty. And that's practically like having a second trial," Greenberg said.
For all that time and trouble, Roth says the outcome will be still viewed as less legitimate.
"If the proceeding is seen as unfair, which is much more likely to be the case before the military commissions rather than federal court, this is going to be a gift to the terrorist recruiters. Because if these men are railroaded to their execution, that is going to generate outrage around the world," he said.

Hey guys, I've been reading around and i have come to the realization that my wireless card in my Dell Studio 15 (Broadcom 4312 [14e4:4315] [rev1]
), is not supported on this kernel. so I have been fudging around with the new linux kernel (2.6.33) in an effort to get it to work, i have found that it does work in DMA mode, but just slightly, after trying to connect to a AP the driver seems to break and will no longer scan for networks. This can only be fixed by re-installing the kernel. I have been using a pre-built *.deb to install the kernel, however i have just recompiled a kernel my self using:
then continued to install it, but it has a kernel panic on start-up.Code:make 0=/root/linux-2.6.33/build/kernel_out oldconfig
Any ideas?

CimetidineSkip to the navigation
Drug Information
Cimetidine is a member of the H-2 blocker (histamine blocker) family of drugs that prevents the release of acid into the stomach. Cimetidine is used to treat stomach and duodenal ulcers , reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Cimetidine is available as a prescription drug and as a nonprescription over-the-counter product for relief of heartburn .
Common brand names:Acid Reducer 200, Tagamet, Tagamet HB
Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Stomach acid may facilitate iron absorption. H-2 blocker drugs reduce stomach acid and are associated with decreased dietary iron absorption.1 People with ulcers may also be iron deficient due to blood loss and benefit from iron supplementation. Iron levels in the blood can be checked with lab tests.
Vitamin B12
Hydrochloric acid is needed to release vitamin B12 from food so it can be absorbed by the body. Cimetidine, which reduces stomach acid, may decrease the amount of vitamin B12 available for the body to absorb.2 The vitamin B12 found in supplements is available to the body without the need for stomach acid. Lab tests can determine vitamin B12 levels in people.
Vitamin D
Cimetidine may reduce vitamin D activation by the liver.3 Lab tests can measure activated vitamin D levels in the blood. Forms of vitamin D that do not require liver activation are available, but only by prescription.
Reduce Side Effects
Support Medicine
Reduces Effectiveness
In healthy volunteers, a magnesium hydroxide / aluminum hydroxide antacid, taken with cimetidine, decreased cimetidine absorption by 20 to 25%.4 People can avoid this interaction by taking cimetidine two hours before or after any aluminum/magnesium-containing antacids, including magnesium hydroxide found in some vitamin/mineral supplements. However, the available studies do not clearly indicate if magnesium hydroxide was the problem and may not need to be avoided.
Potential Negative Interaction
Foods with Caffeine
Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate, guaraná (Paullinia cupana), nonprescription over-the-counter drug products, and supplement products containing caffeine or guaraná. Cimetidine may decrease the clearance of caffeine from the body, causing increased caffeine blood levels and unwanted actions.5 People taking cimetidine may choose to limit their caffeine intake to avoid problems. They should read food, beverage, drug, and supplement labels carefully for caffeine content.

Some random thoughts while waiting for the Mark Hamister bid for the Sabres to be made public: In defending Tim Connolly's minus-19 rating, which places him near the bottom of the NHL, the Sabres recently told Paul Hamilton of WGR that Connolly had been on the ice for seven empty-net goals-against. The excuse is an interesting one that the Sabres have never used to defend Miro Satan, Chris Gratton, Stu Barnes or Alexei Zhitnik, all of whom are also usually on the ice when the Sabre net is empty.

The perfect Parisian patisserie: Is it a grand establishment with centuries-old baking traditions? A nouveau spot that blends daring flavors and artistry? Or the neighborhood gem that locals hope will remain their secret? With such a delectable question, the answer is simple: all of the above.
Ladurée (8th arrondissement)
When it opened in 1862, Ladurée was one of the city's only tea salons. Today, as the ubiquitous mint green bags around town attest, it's the most popular. With magnificent belle epoque styling, the salon de thé owes a great deal of its following to the macaron, the pretty meringue cookie that is as iconic to the French as the cupcake is to Americans. But there are dozens of other douceurs to bite into, including religieuse cakes—puff pastry filled with cream and painted with pastel-colored glaze—and the bakery's own interpretation of the cupcake—in French flavors, such as black currant-violet. 16 Rue Royale.
La Pâtisserie des Rêves (7th arrondissement)
Philippe Conticini's Pâtisserie des Rêves on tony Rue du Bac is unlike any other sweet spot in Paris. Against a candy-colored backdrop of pink, green, and tangerine, glass domes descend from the ceiling, each protecting an individual cake that's displayed on a central table like fine art. Conticini takes dazzling liberties with traditional French desserts. The éclairs, for example, are enrobed in tubes of dark chocolate, while the rectangular Saint-Honoré cake has swirling ribbons of crème Chantilly. Of all the avant-garde creations, don't miss the Paris-Brest, a ring of pastry piped full of hazelnut cream and liquid praline. 93 Rue du Bac.
Stohrer (2nd arrondissement)
Step across "Stohrer," scrolled in gold on the turquoise tiled floor of this patisserie on the Rue Montorgueil, and reverse time. It was founded in 1730 by Nicholas Stohrer, who was King Louis XV's pastry chef. He also created the baba au rhum dessert when he splashed a dry Polish brioche with sweet Malaga wine. Don't care for rum-soaked cake? You can leave the historic patisserie with almost any French classic, from raspberry tarts with perfectly aligned berries dusted with sugar to Puit d'Amour cake filled with vanilla custard. 51 Rue Montorgueil.
Pierre Hermé (6th arrondissement)
If there is one patisserie that rivals Ladurée in macaron prowess, it is Pierre Hermé. Visit his original Saint-Germain boutique, and look beyond the Technicolor macarons—in flavors like lime and ginger—and admire the rows of gateaux behind the long glass partition. Decorated with shards of glossy chocolate, rose petals, or cherries, the cakes are almost too pretty to eat. But, as is the case with the Plénitude Individuel, a dark chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse and accented with salted caramel, it would be a crime not to. 72 Rue Bonaparte.
Blé Sucré (12th arrondissement)
After stints as pastry chef at the acclaimed Bristol and Plaza Athénée hotels, Fabrice Le Bourdat went to the residential 12th arrondissement to open a small patisserie with his wife. The modest size belies Le Bourdat's expertise and the massive selection of breakfast pastries, cakes, and breads. Many Parisians insist his flaky pains au chocolat are the best in the city, and nary a soul will dispute that his classic madeleines take top honors. Moist and airy sponge cakes, with a crackling layer of orange icing, madeleines are sweetly satisfying—especially when enjoyed across the street under the trees of Square Trousseau. 7 Rue Antoine Vollon.

I dont trust GP's with basic illness, let alone ones that will risk my life!
Another point George, could be,,,, where do the Paramedics practise/work, ? There are still huge differences all around the country........ England & wales been playing catch up with NI & scotland for years.. just a thought.
Ian im sure you know not all gp's are crap, you have to remember they are jack of all trades-master of none, but certain gp's have special interest in their training and some have been consultants in other fields and then became gp's so you can imagine how good some of these gp's are.
What about for light contact events or club V club sparing? what would you need to cover that?
Ultimate Tri-style MMA
my local gp diagnosed my strained thigh as a sprain, I had to correct her with all my Education( left in the 3rd year)
We argued she insisted it was a strain, 5 minutes of silence and sometime spent on google, hey presto new diagnosis, secound opinion from DR Google
koozies online
regardless what people tell you............££££££ is always a factor/problem
Until there's a governing body, with the power to stop a show, you will always have people willing to cut corners.

LISTEN: Lauryn Hill Dedicates Song To Ferguson Protests
Listen to Lauryn Hill Radio on iHeartRadio
Lauryn Hill is dedicating an updated version of her song "Black Rage" to the protests over the police shooting of an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.
A reworked version of "My Favorite Things" from the musical The Sound Of Music, Hill sings of "all these kinds of things" inspiring the kind of outrage Ferguson citizens have been expressing over the past few weeks.
The singer has performed the song live for several years. She released the updated single Wednesday with the caption, "An old sketch of 'Black Rage' done in my living room. Strange, the course of things. Peace for MO."

Craig Claiborne described making the acquaintance of this oven-baked pancake recipe "in the handsome, Japanese-style home of the David Eyres in Honolulu" as if he had met Grace Kelly. "With Diamond Head in the distance, a brilliant, palm-ringed sea below, and this delicately flavored pancake before us, we seemed to have achieved paradise."
Life was good if you were a food writer in the 1960s. Mistakes passed without a public shaming in the paper's corrections column or the blogosphere. (Claiborne doubled the butter in his recipe. A few weeks later, he simply mentioned airily, "The food editor was in such reverie on his return from Hawaii he did not notice the gremlins in his measuring spoons.")
Forty years later, readers are still making the baked pancake recipe with no less bliss. It appears on a dozen blogs, embellished with family stories and photos and new-and-improved versions of the recipe. (Eyre, by the way, said he got his from the St. Francis Hotel Cookbook, published in 1919, but his calls for more flour and egg. Both belong to a family of oven-baked pancakes called German pancakes or Dutch babies.)
What keeps cooks faithful to one recipe is often some confluence of ease and surprise. Eyre's pancake possesses both. A batter of flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg is blended together, then poured into a hot skillet filled with butter and baked. Anyone confused? I didn't think so. The surprise comes at the end, when you open the oven door to find a poufy, toasted, utterly delectable-looking pancake. It soon collapses as you shower it with confectioners' sugar and lemon juice, slice it up and devour it. It's sweet and tart, not quite a pancake and not quite a crepe. But lovable all the same.
Cooking Notes:
Don't overmix the batter, or the pancake will be tough—a few lumps are fine. This is the moment to call your well-seasoned cast-iron skillet into service.–Amanda Hesser
LC When This Recipe First Appeared Note
Just in case you were wondering, this Dutch babies pancake recipe first appeared in The New York Times on April 10, 1966, in an article titled "Pancake Nonpareil" by Craig Claiborne. The recipe is, natch, adapted from David Eyre.
David Eyre's Dutch Babies Pancake Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 2 to 4
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Jelly, jam, or marmalade, for serving
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425 °F (218°C).
- 2. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg in a bowl. Beat lightly. Leave the batter a little lumpy.
- 3. Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet with a heatproof handle. When it is very hot, pour in the batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pancake is golden brown. Sprinkle the Dutch babies with the sugar and return briefly to the oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve with jelly, jam, or marmalade.

Ashbury founders Lance Hakker, Mike Hakker and Nima Jalali really have something special. In that the current state of the snowboard industry is mostly comprised of conglomerates and corporations, and that's a good thing, because those brands stoke the flames for the little guys. The little guys like Ashbury in this particular case. The Goliaths put large amounts of money into the industry and allow the Davids to do their own thing and build their brand the way they see fit.
In Ashbury's case, they've chosen to compile some of the world's best jibbers (and some damn good jumpers, too) to fill their team roster, and today, at Park City, those riders were put on display on a course consisting of a handful of rails plugged into the snow by Jeremy Cooper and his dedicated park crew. LNP, Jake Kuzyk, Danimals, Alex Andrews, Sean Black, Scott Stevens, Chris Grenier, Jake Olsen-Elm, Johnny Miller, Chris Brewster, Jonas Michilot, and a slew of other metalheads put on quite a show for the crowd in attendance on the setup.
Of note is that this was a demo, not a contest. A heavily skate-influenced company, Ashbury took a page from their four-wheeled brethren by gathering their team on the slopes of Park City to just ride. What better way to stoke out the general consumer than by piling these dudes in a public place to showcase what they would be doing anyway? It was a pleasure to watch, and the attainability of the features made it even more fun to witness, as the masses strapped in and headed straight for the chairlift the minute the show was over. And that's what it's all about from a brand standpoint. Stoke kids out and make them head for the hills. Well done, fellas. It was a damn fine day indeed.

Washington Post Disappears The Supreme Court
In an article [1] on an Inspector General report [2] evaluating the process that led to EPA's greenhouse gas endangerment finding, the Washington Post states:
The investigation did not examine the scientific evidence underpinning the EPA finding of a connection between human activity and global warming over the past half-century.
However, [Sen. James] Inhofe said, the IG's conclusions raised the question of whether the administration should have concluded that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases qualify as pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
In fact, the IG did not question whether greenhouse gases are pollutants. And there's some other important information missing here. It was the Supreme Court, not the Obama administration, that decided greenhouse gases "fit well within the Clean Air Act's capacious definition of 'air pollutant.'" From the 2007 ruling [3]:
The Clean Air Act's sweeping definition of "air pollutant" includes "any air pollution agent or combination of such agents, including any physical, chemical ... substance or matter which is emitted into or otherwise enters the ambient air ... ." §7602(g) (emphasis added). On its face, the definition embraces all airborne compounds of whatever stripe, and underscores that intent through the repeated use of the word "any." Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and hydrofluorocarbons are without a doubt "physical [and] chemical ... substance[s] which [are] emitted into ... the ambient air." The statute is unambiguous.
Both Obama and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson have said [4] they prefer a legislative approach to climate change. But in the absence of Congressional action, the Clean Air Act requires EPA to regulate greenhouse gases if they pose a danger to public health and welfare, according to the Supreme Court ruling.
Six months after the ruling, EPA sent the White House a draft endangerment finding [5], stating: "The Administrator proposes to find that the air pollution of elevated levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public welfare." The White House reportedly [6] refused to open the email containing the document, which was not made public until October 2009.
Then-EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson told President Bush in a January 2008 letter made public [7] earlier this year that "a finding is still required by the Supreme Court case, and the state of the latest climate change science does not permit a negative finding, nor does it permit a credible finding that we need to wait for more research." Johnson went on to say that greenhouse gases could be regulated in a way that is "responsible, cost-effective and practical" and "it is in the Administration's best interest to move forward with this plan in the next few weeks."
Instead, the Bush administration decided [8] to launch a comment period, punting the obligation to respond to the Supreme Court to the next administration. After assessing the state of climate science, EPA determined in December 2009 that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare. Its finding [9] drew from peer-reviewed synthesis reports on climate change, which in turn were based on peer-reviewed research, and it "underwent a technical review by 12 federal climate change experts, internal EPA review, interagency review, and a public comment period."
But the recent IG report, which was requested by Inhofe, says that it should have been subjected to further peer review procedures under Office of Management and Budget guidelines created (controversially [10]) by the Bush administration. OMB disagrees [2] with the IG's conclusion, saying EPA "reasonably determined" that the finding did not fit a classification requiring an even more extensive process.
Ultimately, the IG made some procedural recommendations for the future and concluded that "EPA met statutory requirements for rulemaking and generally followed requirements and guidance related to ensuring the quality of the supporting technical information."
None of this addresses the status of greenhouse gases as an air pollutant and the Washington Post should have said so.

Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio | Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
Rihanna and Katy Perry's friendship appears to be on the mend, if it really was broken in the first place. The pop stars, who were rumored to be on the outs over Perry's disapproval of Chris Brown, exchanged some friendly tweets on Wednesday.
They came together, ironically, over a video published on TMZ, that showed Ri-Ri at a strip club in Miami. Rumors were also circulating that Katy was there too, but she corrected the error, asking Rihanna in her tweet if she should "be proud or offended" that she wasn't invited for her wild night out. Rihanna responded with a joke, saying she'd make it up to her soon.
@katyperry errm I wasn't! Lol! #miaminights howeverrrrr....I'll still let you spank me!— Rihanna (@rihanna) April 24, 2013
The North American leg of Rihanna's "Diamonds" tour comes to an end on May 6th in Boston, before she takes off for the summer in Europe.

text: Posted January 30, 2013 http://www.wral.com/tillis-no-state-money-for-panther-s-stadium/12039139/ Didn't see a thread specific about this...came out yesterday. In case you didn't know...Tillis is the state house leader. Raleigh, N.C. — North Carolina should not put state tax dollars into the Carolina Panthers stadium in Charlotte but could vote to authorize a rise in the local sales tax, House Speaker Thom Tillis said Tuesday. During a news conference with reporters in Raleigh, Tillis was asked whether he had met with Panthers owner Jerry Richardson. "Every month, I probably have an opportunity to meet two or three times with major businesses in North Carolina that are considering moving somewhere else, and that is a very real possibility for the Panthers," said Tillis, R-Mecklenburg. He added, "They create some 4,400 direct jobs, and some 1,500 indirect jobs. They are a major employer in North Carolina." Tillis described discussions with the team as "preliminary" but said he has taken one avenue for state support out of the discussion. "I've been clear with the Panthers organization that it is not appropriate to have state taxpayer dollars go directly into the stadium," Tillis said.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
LAKE STEVENS — Over the ensuing days, there were to be many moments of surprise and astonishment for Bill Iffrig.
Like the scores of e-mail and phone messages from family and friends, all wishing him the best. Like the interview requests from international media, including all the major U.S. television networks. Like his picture on the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated magazine. Like the mention from President Barack Obama during a Thursday speech.
But before all that — and, in fact, the reason for all that — there were those terrifying moments on the pavement of a bomb-stricken Boston street.
"When I was (falling), the thought rushed through my head that, 'Hey, maybe this is it. Maybe I'm done,'" Iffrig said Saturday, one day after returning with his wife Donna to their Lake Stevens home.
Even now, he added, "I'm just so glad to be alive. I was so lucky and I realized that right away. I can't get over how lucky I was."
The 78-year-old Iffrig was in Boston for Monday's 117th Boston Marathon, the most prestigious road race in this country and perhaps anywhere in the world. Having completed 26 miles, he had just turned onto Boylston Street for the final few blocks to the finish line when two bombs went off in succession.
Iffrig, who was running his 45th marathon, was the runner closest to the first blast, maybe 30 or 40 feet to his left. The explosion caused his knees to buckle, and his collapse was captured by video and still photographers at the scene. Those images were among the first to be transmitted around the world.
The explosion "was a blast I couldn't believe," Iffrig said. "It was so loud. It was deafening. And it seemed like it was right next to me."
Though it took him a while "to get my wits about me again," he never considered quitting the race. "I was pretty sure I wasn't hurt … and I wanted to get to the finish line," he explained. "The thought didn't even enter my head to just lay there and forget about it."
Eventually he rose and continued the few remaining strides to the line, completing his race in 4:09. "It was a good time," he said. "I felt very happy with my time."
There was, by then, chaos around him. Wheelchairs intended for injured runners were now being used to transport the wounded. Many of them "were bleeding badly," Iffrig said. "It was a real battle scene."
After convincing race officials and medical personnel that he was unhurt, he walked six blocks to the Park Plaza Hotel where Donna Iffrig — she had heard the explosions and the emergency sirens — was waiting in their hotel room.
"She was in tears because she was expecting the worst," he said.
The incident, Donna Iffrig said, has been "hard to get through. I thought maybe he wasn't going to return."
Remarkably, Bill Iffrig suffered no injury worse than a slight scrape on his knee from the fall. "But the rest of the day things were pretty weird in my ears, this (left) one in particular," he said.
The Iffrigs had planned to spend a few days sightseeing in Boston following the race, "but after this happened we just lost interest in doing anything like that," he said. They stayed mostly in their hotel room, "glued to the TV and glued to the telephone."
Once Iffrig's identity became known, the interview requests began pouring in. He figures he did 15 interviews while in Boston, and he is still getting more calls. On Saturday, just before meeting a reporter and photographer from The Herald, Iffrig was on the phone with a reporter from Runners World magazine, setting up another interview for Tuesday.
Obama traveled to Boston on Thursday, and in his remarks at an interfaith memorial service for the victims — three killed, at least 180 wounded — he cited Iffrig as an example of courage and determination.
"Like Bill Iffrig, 78 years old, the runner in the orange tank top that we all saw get knocked down by the blast, we may be momentarily knocked off our feet," Obama told the crowd. "But we'll pick ourselves up. We'll keep going. We will finish the race."
Asked about the president's praise, Iffrig smiled. "What I thought was, 'Are you kidding me?' It's not that big a deal," he said.
It was at the Boston airport on Friday that Iffrig got his first glimpse of this week's Sports Illustrated. A flight attendant handed him a copy with the cover photo of Iffrig sprawled in the street and four police officers — one with pistol drawn — reacting to the bomb blasts.
Donna Iffrig finds the picture disturbing, but her husband figures he will get it framed and put it on the wall. Likewise, he will save other mementos from the race, including a souvenir program, his finisher's medal, his bib number (No. 19200), and the distinctive orange singlet he wore on that fateful day.
They will evidently be his final Boston keepsakes because on Saturday he vowed that he would not enter the Boston Marathon again.
A year ago Iffrig ran on a hot, humid Boston day and it took him 7 1/2 hours to finish, leaving his wife to fret anxiously back in their hotel room as she waited to hear that he was OK. This year she was fretting again, albeit from different circumstances.
"It was pretty hard on my family (the last two years)," he said. "And they just don't want me to put everybody through that again." Although he expects to continue running, including more marathons, "I'm not going to Boston again," he said.
"And I'm divorcing him if he does," Donna Iffrig said, at last managing a smile.

How to Make an ADA Complaint
There are multiple options for making
an official complaint depending
on which ADA Title is being violated.
The ADA Overview: The ADA is a Civil Rights law that has seven primary areas. The three that are most important to knowing your rights are ADA Titles I, II and III
Title I: pertains to employment discrimination
Title II: pertains to public entities that receive government funding
Title III: pertains to private entities like businesses, non-public housing and private events.
Step One:
Know your rights.
If you are a person with a disability or, have a loved one with a disability, the best tool you have against ADA violations is knowledge. The ADA covers all area's of our daily lives though little of the general public is informed about how it works. Understanding the law and being able to direct folks regarding it can be a very helpful way to end discrimination. Unless you are dealing with the US Department of Justice do not assume folks are informed about the law.
Some helpful websites:
United Spinal Cord Association -
Understanding the ADA publication
US Department of Justice
If you are unsure if what is happening to you is a civil rights violation of the ADA you can call the following hotlines for technical assistance:
ADA – Disability and Business Technical Assistance Center
Step Two:
Contact the business or organization's management.
As stated earlier many people while familiar with the term ADA are not well educated on the law. Often talking to a superior or management personnel about how you feel your rights were violated will help resolve the issue. Being able to direct them to the portion of the law that you feel is relevant to the situation may save you from having to file an official complaint.
Step Three:
Filing an official complaint
In Oregon you have several places you can and should file a complaint if the above step is ineffective.
Bureau of Labor and Industry: 971-673-0761
Online Complaint Form: http://www.oregon.gov/BOLI/CRD/C_Crcompl.shtml
Oregon Department of Justice: 1-877-877-9392
Online Complaint Form: http://www.doj.state.or.us/finfraud/engexplanation.shtml
It is also recommended you file a complaint with the Federal Department of Justice: 1-800-514-0301 ex 7
Online Form :http://www.ada.gov/t3compfm.htm
You can mail your complaint at the address found above of email it to email@example.com

Liam Bad Intentions James, pro mma uk featherweight!!
Totally not going to happen but if he can perform and gradually start fighting at a lighter weight then he may do alright. Got a feeling that he will struggle with the big punchers though.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Not one to snark on threads but he is actually fighting at feather.
Just said it because I don't think the weight was ever bought up in the other thread as concrete, a lot of speculation on it.
Not to be a complete cock, although I believe my use of the word actually made me sound a bit cunty.
Maybe it did and I missed it.
Anyhow that's that.
Should be an interesting one.
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
If he can get the fight to the floor I think he will do ok, if not could be difficult, a bit like Sass maybe.
Don't Take Life Too Serious Or You'll Die Stressed!!!
If he's been training hard in thailand i hope we see a bit of proper high quality kickboxing from him, mixed with some of those sick shots to leglocks.
