Frequently asked questions for Omeprazole
Q. Is omeprazole gluten free?
Yes. Omeprazole is gluten free. Please refer to the package insert of the prescribed brand before use.
Q. Why is omeprazole enteric-coated?
Omeprazole gets absorbed in the small intestine, so it must reach there intact form for proper absorption. However, can be easily degraded by the stomach acid and does not reach the small intestine in intact form leading to decrease in its absorption. Enteric coating saves the tablet from stomach acid so that it can reach the small intestine in intact form.
Q. Can I take omeprazole with domperidone?
Omeprazole can be safely taken with domperidone as no harmful effects have been reported clinically. A fixed-dose combination of these two medicines is also available.

You may be asked to take this drug for 2 weeks for healing of your duodenal ulcers, 4 weeks for stomach ulcers and 4 to 8 weeks for GERD symptoms and for ulcers caused by NSAIDs. Do not stop taking this medicine without talking to your doctor.
Q. Can omeprazole cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?
Omeprazole can cause osteoporosis (thinning of bones) as it decreases the calcium absorption leading to calcium deficiency. This leads to an increased risk of bone fractures on long-term use, like hip, wrist or spine fractures. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or if you are taking corticosteroids (these can increase the risk of osteoporosis) before starting your therapy. Take enough calcium and vitamin D to reduce the risk.
Q. What are the rare side effects of omeprazole?
Rare side effects seen with the use of omeprazole includes a decrease in white cells or platelets, allergic reactions, problems like blurred vision, wheezing, shortness of breath (bronchospasm), dry mouth, thrush, liver problems like jaundice, hair loss (alopecia), skin rash on exposure to sunshine, joint pains (arthralgia) or muscle pains (myalgia), severe kidney problems (interstitial nephritis), increased sweating and inflammation of the gut causing diarrhoea.
Q. Can I take omeprazole forever or it has side effects on long term use?
People who take multiple daily doses of omeprazole for a long period of time (a year or longer) may have decreased calcium levels leading to an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine. It can also decrease magnesium levels when used for more than 3 months. Long-term use may also cause inflammation of stomach lining (atrophic gastritis). So, it should be used for a duration as advised by the doctor.
Q. How does omeprazole work?
Proton (acid) pumps are found on the stomach mucosa and they are responsible for secreting acid in the stomach. Omeprazole works by blocking this gastric acid pump and this unique mechanism of action helps in decreasing the acid secretion in the stomach.
Q. Does omeprazole contain gelatin?
Omeprazole does not contain gelatin as one of its constituent. However, in the capsule dosage form of omeprazole, the outer capsule that contains the medicine is made up of gelatin.
Q. Does omeprazole cause hepatitis B and can a patient of hepatitis take omeprazole?
Omeprazole can rarely cause hepatitis with or without jaundice and very rarely it can lead to hepatic failure and encephalopathy in patients with the underlying liver disease. Omeprazole does not cause hepatitis B or any other viral hepatitis. However, there are studies showing an increased occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy in hepatitis B patients using PPIs. These medicines should be used with caution in patients with the underlying liver disease.
Q. Is omeprazole better than dexlansoprazole?
Omeprazole and dexlansoprazole are two different medicines belonging to the same class of proton pump inhibitors. There are no studies which compare omeprazole and dexlansoprazole. Omeprazole and dexlansoprazole have similar action, but their effect may vary in different patients.
Q. Does omeprazole increase chromogranin levels?
Use of proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole has been seen to be associated with an increase in chromogranin levels. This increase in chromogranin levels can be due to the effect of these drugs on enterochromaffin cells and this could also falsely increase the levels in patients with neuroendocrine tumours.
Q. Does omeprazole cause dementia?
Use of proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole has been recently linked with the development of dementia in elderly patients. As this risk of developing dementia is not confirmed, talk to your doctor for more information on this effect.
Q. Who can take omeprazole?
Adults and children more than 1 year of age and more than 10 kg in weight can take omeprazole.
Q. Does omeprazole cause vitamin deficiencies?
Omeprazole may cause vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiency. When taken orally, vitamin B12 requires an acidic environment for its absorption from the stomach while omeprazole causes a decrease the gastric acid secretion. You may need to take vitamin B12 supplements from outside. The clinical significance of the decrease in vitamin C levels is not known, so vitamin C supplementation is not recommended.
Q. Does omeprazole have an expiry date?
Yes, omeprazole does expire. Please check the expiry date written on the pack and it refers to the last day of that month. Do not use omeprazole after the expiry date.
Q. What is the role of omeprazole before endoscopy in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding?
Omeprazole before endoscopy in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding reduces the need for endoscopic therapy, the rate of post-endoscopy bleeding, and shortens hospital stays. Hence omeprazole is given before endoscopy in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding.
Q. Is omeprazole better than ranitidine?
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and ranitidine is an H2 blocker. Both lowers the amount of acid in your stomach, treats heartburn, and heals ulcers. Studies have shown that omeprazole is more effective than ranitidine in resolving heartburn in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), rapid healing of ulcers and prevent ulcers in patients who use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, the effect of these medicines may vary upon individual response.
Q. Are there any withdrawal symptoms associated with the use of omeprazole?
There are no withdrawal symptoms seen when patients stop using omeprazole as it has no habit forming tendencies.
Q. Can omeprazole cause magnesium deficiency?
Omeprazole can cause magnesium deficiency in the blood. Low magnesium levels is a rare side effect seen in patients treated with omeprazole for at least three months and in most cases after a year of therapy. The patient may have symptoms like tetany, arrhythmias, and seizures and may need to stop this medicine and take magnesium from outside. Magnesium levels should be tested at regular intervals in the patients taking omeprazole for a long duration.
Q. Is omeprazole a controlled substance?
Omeprazole is not a controlled substance. It is available when prescribed by a doctor.
Q. Can omeprazole be used in cardiac patients?
Patients with cardiac disease can take omeprazole. However, omeprazole can interact with certain drugs (e.g clopidogrel, digoxin) which might be used by a patient with an underlying cardiac disease. Patients taking omeprazole and digoxin may need to be monitored for digoxin toxicity. Omeprazole decreases the activation of clopidogrel, thus reducing its effects. Patients taking these medicines together needs to be monitored closely by a doctor.
Q. What is omeprazole used for?
Omeprazole is used to treat and prevent duodenal ulcers, stomach ulcers and ulcers caused by the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs; pain killers) and along with antibiotics for the treatment of stomach ulcers infected with a bacteria known as Helicobacter pylori. Omeprazole is also indicated for the treatment of reflux oesophagitis, symptomatic gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Q. Does omeprazole cause iron deficiency?
Use of omeprazole can cause iron deficiency and a decrease in hemoglobin levels as it decreases the acidic environment of the stomach needed for the absorption of iron. However, there are no recommendations on the regular monitoring of iron levels or taking iron supplements when the patient is taking omeprazole.
Q. How is omeprazole different from esomeprazole?
Omeprazole and esomeprazole both belong to the same class of drugs and are used in disease conditions with excess acid production like heartburn, acidity, stomach ulcers and intestinal ulcers. Esomeprazole is an S-isomer of omeprazole. Studies have shown that esomeprazole provides more effective and rapid acid control than omeprazole, without any increase in side effects and fewer variations in response between different patients.
Q. Is omeprazole a narcotic substance?
Omeprazole is a not a narcotic substance and has not been reported to have any abuse potential. Omeprazole does not get you high and does not cause any addiction as no withdrawal symptoms have been reported when you stop taking this drug.
Q. Can I take omeprazole during lactation?

Omeprazole is a prescription medicine and you can buy this drug by providing a doctor's prescription. Omeprazole is not available as an over the counter (OTC) product.
Q. How is omeprazole metabolised in the body?
Omeprazole is metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 enzymes mainly CYP2C19. There could be an increase in the level of omeprazole in patients with underlying liver disease because of a decrease in its metabolism. However, the amount of drug does not increase if given once a day.
Q. How do I store omeprazole?
Store omeprazole below 25°C (between 15°C and 30°C). Keep in a cool and dark place in the original pack.
Q. Can omeprazole be used in stroke patients?
Omeprazole can be used in stroke patients. There are studies suggesting that proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) as a class are not associated with an increased short-term risk of recurrent stroke or death among older adults treated with clopidogrel after stroke.
Q. How is Omeprazole better than cimetidine?
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor and cimetidine is an H2 receptor blocker. They act in different ways but both decrease the acid production in the stomach. However, Omeprazole is more potent, longer acting, and has fewer adverse effects when compared to cimetidine.
Q. Is Omeprazole better than rabeprazole?
Omeprazole and Rabeprazole belong to the same class of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and work in the same way to decrease acid production in the stomach. However, few clinical studies have shown that rabeprazole provides better relief of the symptoms including the daytime pain of duodenal ulcers. The difference in response may also vary in different patients

Brazil-U.S. Legal and Judicial Studies Program
The Brazil-U.S. Legal and Judicial Studies Program at American University Washington College of Law is a comparative law program focused exclusively on Brazil and the United States and their respective legal and judicial institutions. Led by Senior United States District Judge Peter J. Messitte, the program is unique in offering a direct comparison of Brazilian legal and judicial institutions with those of the United States.
Traditionally, the Brazilian legal and judicial systems have been studied as just one part of Latin American legal and judicial systems in general, without reference to important differences. Similarly, Brazilian judges, lawyers, academics and students have attended law schools in the U.S. to study American law, but have not been able to focus on particular comparisons between the Brazilian experience and the American.
WCL's program offers participants a firmer understanding of both Brazilian and U.S. systems and transmits substantial practical knowledge as the two countries increase their interaction with one another.
Judge Peter Messitte, Dean Claudio Grossman, Ambassador Luis Alberto Fegueiredo, and Dr. Antonio Augusto de Souza Coelho on the occasion of the First Symposium on Legal Aspects of Agribusiness, February 10, 2016
The Brazil-U.S. Legal and Judicial Studies Program coordinates seminars on various comparative law issues for Brazilian judges, legal professionals, academics, and students, and also assists those in the U.S. who wish to have comparable introductions to Brazilian law and Brazilian legal and judicial institutions. The Program has been able to engage, as co-lecturers, Brazilian lawyers and legal experts who reside and work in the Washington, D.C. region, as well as Brazilian professors and judges who frequently visit the city.
In addition to organizing events and initiatives, the Program collaborates with activities that already exist between WCL and Brazil in such areas as international commercial arbitration, intellectual property, environmental law and human rights.

A fragment of the imagination
By:Frenche` Brewer, email@example.com, 803-777-3691
Students from the University of South Carolina Dance Program will present "Fragments of Light," a showcase of their original choreography, Nov. 27 - 30 at Drayton Hall Theatre.
Show times for all performances are 6 p.m. Tickets are $12 for students, $16 for USC faculty and staff, military and seniors 60 and older and $18 for the general public. Tickets can be reserved by calling the box office at 803-777-5112, or charged by phone at 803-251-2222.
Eleven works were submitted and eight made it into the final showcase.
Among the premiere works to be performed:
• "Distinguishing Diversity in Hip Hop," a piece by dance education seniors Amanda Nelson and Laura Smith, in collaboration with professional hip hop dancers Saza Dimmick (Arizona's Epik Dance Company artistic director,) and Edson "BBoy House" Magana;
• "Flames of Inspiration" by Camille Sellers, junior dance performance and choreography major, inspired after attending the 2012 Summer Olympic Games;
• "Deadly Sin" by Hannah Brown, senior dance performance and choreography major, which addresses the seven deadly sins in a new light, and;
• "Sweeping the Stage" by Alyson Amato, senior dance education major, a piece drawn from the choreographer's two inspirations, painting and dance.
The eight pieces reflect a range of dance styles, from modern dance to contemporary ballet to hip hop. "Distinguishing Diversity in Hip Hop," takes the audiences through five different styles of street dance, including contemporary hip hop, breaking, popping, locking and "waacking."
Cindy Flach, the showcase director, said this concert represents another "step up" in the level of choreography the dance students have mastered.
"The depth of creative thinking and choices made by our student dancers and choreographers is off the charts. In my opinion this is a concert to watch. I'm sure many of these student choreographers will be making dances on a larger scale in ever more prestigious settings in the years to come," Flach said.
'Based on Images'
Immediately after "Fragments of Light" the dance program's resident professional company, Wideman/Davis Dance, will present the original contemporary dance "Based on Images." Thaddeus Davis and Tanya Wideman-Davis are assistant professors in the USC dance department.
The show is set for 8 p.m.
The original show, which debuted in 2009, was inspired by media images of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.
Three years after the first performance, the duo reprises "Based on Images," asking whether government disaster policies and response have changed. Ironically, during rehearsals for the updated show, Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast. That killer storm provoked more questions for the creative team.
"When I look at the media images of hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, it's like looking at the same storm. The differences are the ethnic diversity of the people and their socio-economic status, but I still see the same pain and struggle for survival. It is a bit eerie to bring "Based on Images" back and during our rehearsal process another devastating storm happens," Davis said.
In this updated performance, the duo uses video as well as dance to express the evolution of the project.
"The intent was to look at what was previously done and deconstruct it to have a greater sense of validity in 2012, post Sandy and several other storms following Katrina. Remounting the text and adding other visual elements such as sets and video projections was a way to open up the work," Wideman-Davis said.
Tickets for "Based on Images" are $12 for students, $16 for faculty, staff, military, and seniors and $18 for the general public. Tickets can be reserved by calling the box office at 803-777-5112.
The two will host a discussion after each show, giving the audience the opportunity to talk about the performance.

Hello people,
I have a pretty competent PC, easily able to run Photoshop, Flash, and every other application I could potentially use for Web Design. However, I have set my eyes in a iMac around ~1200€.
My question is: Is it worth it? Is there anything on a Mac that will help me and my work? Applications, the OS itself, or should I just wait for my PC to get older and get a much more powerful one down the road?
Thank you in advance, Nikos
routsounmanman said
Is there anything on a Mac that will help me and my work?
So, macs : 1. are simple 2. fast 3. virus free 4. have good software 5. worth what you pay 6. compatible with existing hardware (printers, routers, external hard drives etc..) 7. amazing little machines that will get your work done, headache free.
Sorry, but macs are not virus free. The market share wasn't high enough for hackers to target them, but that has come to an end: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/25/mac-virus-apple_n_1625110.html
If you are doing intense graphic design or video editing, I recommend using a mac. If not, stick to pc.
You wont get a good answer to that question since apple polarises people way too much.
Read about the features the os offers and then decide if it is worth it for you personally.
All you will get from this thread is some people say that all apple products are handcrafted out of pure pixie dust by angels and some people will say its nothing but an overpriced marketing trap for hipsters.
As usual the truth is somewhere in the middle.
It depends on what you want out of a computer. I get everything I need from a PC that costs 3x less.
Ok, I can see this becoming a PC vs Mac thread, lets not have it going down that line..
Macs, I would say are for creative thinkers. The whole industry says it, a lot of schools have them for students doing film studies and other creative stuff like photography, video editing, music.
I do development on a Mac, I love the applications, I love the UI, It's nice and clean, and here comes the arguments, `It's virus free`... Let me back that last one up… Yes, I'm sure there are viruses out there for Macs but the only viruses out there will be Trojan Horses because you need to install them yourself (they are hidden in programs), I have had a mac for 3-4 years now and never had a virus or an anti-virus program, why? because I'm smart with what I install.
I would say take a look at what you use at the moment and see if thats on mac, see if you like the OS and applications you would use. Go in an Apple store and use it for a while or if your friends have on ask to borrow it for a day and see if you like it.
In my opinion, it's better to invest your money in a very good PC than on a Mac… it doesn't justify the price… yes i agree that it has a cleaner interface… but i still think that with the money you spend on a mac, you can get a x4 better pc.. sorry for typography i am writing from my iPhone
Yes, it's definitely worth for two reasons: it's monkey proof and it makes you look cool.
I have both.
1 pc: 3.4Ghz i7 12gb ram 1tb hard drive 2gb dedicated video card.
3.4Ghz i7 16gb ram 2tb hard drive 2gb dedicated video card.
Both nearly identical.
On performance i would say unless you are rendering large high quality movies you will not see any.
If you are use to PC you will take time to adjust on the little things.
Honestly unless your windows pc is on its last legs, why spend more on something that is just as good for now. If your pc is on its last legs then yes i would probably go for mac.
The only issue is for 1200 euros on a windows pc can get you a very good spec but 1200 euros for a Mac is the lower end model which leaves it with only a low end i5 but if your pc is older than 3-4 years it will be significantly faster as the i series are good from Microsoft.

Its not bug proof.
My latest iMac had to go back after just 3 weeks due to virus.
I said to the Mac support i thought this was un breakable…
They said nope, sorry them days are long gone. You now need anti virus.

Ok, so I have a question. Today I sat down for a long sit and a question arose in me. Where is my discernment? What is discernment in relation to my meditation? I can discern my breath, and I can discern my thoughts when they arise. But what about discernment of where my meditation is supposed to be going. I know it is a bit of a weird question, and any help would be appreciated. I feel like I am almost lost in where I should be going/should be doing at times.
Just for the record I do practice a lot on the basis of anapanasati.

BT4 detected my alfa awus036h correctly, you might have alfa awus036NH
you internal wifi card works also well, it supports injection and monitor mode
3. Have you used airmon-ng to put your card to monitor mode?
Hello Backtrackers,
I've been using Ubuntu (Feisty) for a couple of years and have been doing basically what this distro is all about, pen testing. I'm really enjoying Backtrack but am having a couple of problems and have literally been trying to figure them out for about a week now, with my last resort going to these forums before I reinstall Ubuntu.
Specs: Dell Inspirion 6400 Notebook with Intel Wireless (iwlcore/iwl3945) card.
USB Wireless: Alfa awus036h
Running on HD install
Some questions:
1. My Alfa Awus036H card comes up in BT4F as driver rt2870sta. From everything I've read about people getting this card working properly, everyone is using the rtl8187 drivers, and I've compiled them without error multiple times and blacklisted the other drivers and loaded the rtl8187s and can't get my interface to show up on iwconfig. (Do I need to add my dev id to a header file or something somewhere?)
2. Tab autocompletion is better on ubuntu out of the box. For instance when modprobe-ing drivers tab will list the currently installed drivers on the machine, with BT4 I have to know the driver name verbatim. I'm sure there's a configuration for this but I can't find it. Any pointers?
3. Wireshark absolutely will not show me anything but Broadcast / Beacon traffic, non-originating from my machine. I've read the FAQ for wireshark many times. Promiscuous mode is on. I have no problems doing this in Ubuntu (with a different laptop), so I know how it works. I can't narrow it down if it's the card or the drivers.
Many thanks for taking the time to read my wall of text and helping me fix my problem or pointing me in the right direction!

3. Have you used airmon-ng to put your card to monitor mode?
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond. I really appreciate it. Sometime around noon today after working through the awus036h card, I finally decided to flip it over and check the S/N and revision number when I realized that I had an awus050nh card... (Just as you suspected), which uses the rt2800usb drivers, which work just fine except with everything but WICD (can't figure this out yet, still working on it).
There is a small problem though. Once I installed the patched new rt2800usb drivers I lost my network on startup. I can get it to work by modprobe -r iwl3945 iwlcore rt2800usb....etc.
reloading them and ifconfig wlan0 up (my intel wireless card). But it's pretty tedious to do so much,
I know I could create an alias to them, but is there another way? (My suspect is "start-network" that maybe I can edit).
Thanks again
In order to capture traffic other than yours with wireshark you need to set your card in promiscuous mode (different from monitor mode). However, your wireless card driver should have been compiled with specific support for promiscuous mode in advance (Not all cards support it, and not all drivers are compiled that way by devs).
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
All Product Details
Wes Moore is the author of Discovering Wes Moore, an autobiography for young readers based on his bestselling adult memoir The Other Wes Moore. Exploring factors that contribute to success—and failure—he compares and contrasts his life story with that of a man who shares his name, is almost the same age, and, like the author, grew up fatherless in Baltimore but who is serving a life sentence for murder. Upon learning about this other Wes Moore, the author was compelled to write to him and was surprised to receive a reply. That reply gave birth to a friendship as letters turned into visits and the two men got to know one another. This compelling story about the challenges of growing up and accepting responsibility for our choices is sure to inspire. Includes an 8-page photo insert.

Thread: OL & Ngata discussion
Hybrid View
OL & Ngata discussion
I didn't get to see the game and would like to hear opinions on Ngata and the OL last night.
Preston's take on the OL is probably on the mark:
After a week of criticism, the Ravens' offensive line turned in a solid performance against the Redskins. There doesn't need to be judgment every week because the verdict is virtually in on this group.
When the Ravens play against a team that has a really good defensive line, they'll struggle and probably lose. Otherwise, they'll be competitive. The Ravens, though, won't wait for this unit to self-destruct like last season when they waited until late in the season before starting some young players. Second-year tackle Adam Terry and guard-center Jason Brown will play if center Mike Flynn, right guard Keydrick Vincent and right tackle Tony Pashos struggle.
There are some in the organization who believe Brown will replace Flynn or Vincent before the season is over.
As far as Pashos, Mikey says:
Defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, the team's top draft pick out of Oregon, the youngster has some work to do. He relies too much on power and allows offensive linemen to get into his body. He is slow and seldom penetrates. The potential is there, but this might be more of a project than the Ravens bargained for when they selected Ngata with the 12th overall pick. ...
Wasn't sure how to post a link on the new board, and I'm in a hurry. Preston does actually make some sense today in the Fishwrap.
Happy long weekend!

With regards the OL, well we'll see straight up how they handle good DLs because they're gonna get a stern test week one at Tampa Bay, Ogden should take out Rice but someone's gotta block Booger McFarland and even Chris Hovan had an improved year last year for the Bucs.
Then at the other end, Greg 'The Crane' Spires is a good test for whether Pashos is adequate in anyway shape or form, Spires is one of the very best DEs in the league in terms of run stopping and containment but doesn't generate much pass rush. Consequently Pashos is gonna have to show his game is what it's quoted as by not allowing any rush from Spires on first and second downs and not allowing Spires to disrupt the run game too much on the right. On passing situations though Dewayne White will come in for Spires though and he'll probably tear Pashos to shreds, but never mind.
Re: OL & Ngata discussionOriginally Posted by TheOrioleWay
Vincent is absolutely terrible. Awful.
Re: OL & Ngata discussion
I'm intrigued also as to why they didn't play Terry at RT if the rumours of them putting him at RT if Pashos struggles are true. Fact is he's not an RT and doesn't have the skill set for it and I've always doubted the rumours he'll replace Pashos at RT so that'd be my explanation for him not being given reps at RT. But if that is the plan to have him at RT if Pashos struggles then it's senseless not to give him the reps, given that the only other time he's played RT was when Pashos got hurt in a game or two last year.
If that's the plan he needs the reps, but I still don't see him being used at RT because he simply doesn't have the skill set.
Re: OL & Ngata discussion
I payed close attention to Ngata. He did take on blockers and in many situations allowed Bart, Mike Smith and other pursue the ball carrier untouched. That is exactlay what I believe we need. Sure he is adjusting to the speeed of the game, along with the fact that he has missed many practices and OTA's with the knee and the NCAA rule. The steel in the FA signings clearly is Justin Bannan. This guy is sneaky quick with decent technique. Great rotation guy. Kemo was big, not athletic. All of our lineman are athletic an versitile this year.

Six years and over 1,200 hour-long shows later, Cooking Live ended its run on March 31, 2002.Sara's Secrets began the next day and continues to air seven days a week. She was consistently watched by millions of loyal viewers with her practical advice on culinary disasters. "Other TV chefs may own famous restaurants and perform with theatrical flair," noted TV Guide's Herma Rosenthal, "But Moulton's the one you can actually picture popping over to help you fix the lumpy gravy or the fallen soufflé."

Sara lives in New York City with her husband and two children.

Ivey, Eowyn. The Snow Child
Childless middle-aged couple Jack and Mabel take advantage of the cheap land deals to buy a homestead in Alaska in the 1920s. Dreaming of a new start, a life of meaningful labor and simple pleasure, the couple instead find a punishing and brutal land with interminable winters and bug-ridden summers. Mabel contemplates suicide as Jack nearly kills himself to get the planting done. In a fit of playfulness one cold winter evening, however, Jack and Mabel build themselves a girl from the year's first snow and decorate her with a scarf and mittens. In the morning, the scarf and mittens are gone and the couple begin to spot a real young girl in the woods around their cabin—a girl none of their neighbors have seen, or know about. And she is wearing the scarf and mittens. Mabel convinces herself that their love and longing brought the snow-girl to life as happened in a Russian fairy tale she read as a child, but Jack suspects the reality to be darker than Mabel's magical tale. As the years pass, the girl, Faina, becomes as a daughter to the couple—but as Mabel knows, the fairy tale of the snow child never has a happily-ever-after ending.
Told in spare but poetic language, the novel dances artfully around the question of Faina's origins—magical, or not? But the real stand-out in the novel is Ivey's description of Alaska, a landscape both punishing and spectacular—and humanity's relationship with a place so wild. Recommended for fans of historical fiction and minor magical realism.

A response to a FOSS skeptic
Don Parris wrote a book a while back called "Penguin in the Pew." The book is an outstanding guide for nonprofits — aimed at churches, but it can apply to any other nonprofit — in the way to use Free/Open Source Software, which Don like to call "libre," but you know it's the same thing.
While the book is due for an update (I say, nudging Don . . .), I also have to confess that I've used the points the book makes to apply to the for-profit business advantages of using FOSS in a business environment. This is important to me in my work at Redwood Digital Research, where a great part of our business is to provide small businesses and home offices with FOSS solutions instead of the closed-source proprietary software they are, for the most part, forced to use.
But I digress. Don wrote a brilliant blog item this morning in crossing verbal swords with a FOSS skeptic. It starts out as follows:
"Someone I know well and admire greatly recently sent me a question about the premise of my book, 'Penguin in the Pew.' His question, I think, reflects the mindset of many who remain outside the realm of the libre software domain. It has taken me some time to get around to answering his question, but I thought I would expand on my response to him here on my blog."
And that he does, in a very complete, civil and concise way. It's definitely worth a read.
Meanwhile, I have two presentations (three if you count the UpSCALE talk I'm doing with my daughter Mimi), a tsunami of press releases and other media work to do for SCALE 10X before next weekend (not to mention studying for the LPI-1 exam), so posts are going to be a little sparse over the next two weeks; unless, of course, they're about SCALE. That could be disappointing to some and a relief to others.
But, as always, watch this space.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software at Redwood Digital Research, a consultancy that provides FOSS solutions in the small business and home office environment.)

2013 is the perfect season for Rowan as knitwear sits centre stage of the fashion world creating the drama for the season head. Many of the catwalk designers have drawn inspiration for their collections from historic references such as the Baroque. Fashion is also looking to the handicraft textiles of Eastern Europe and the nomadic lifestyle.
The Rowan designers have taken these strong trends and worked the different key looks into three distinctive stories:
ROMANCING - A beautiful collection of romantic lace and patterned knits photographed in the historic setting of Haddon Hall, Derbyshire.
FOLK - The patterned folk textiles of nomadic eastern cultures inspires this colourful collection of women's and men's knits.
ESSENTIALS - A collection of the key shapes and textures on trend, designed into simple, easy to wear styles that compliment the season's essential looks.

The Ninety Six National Historic Site commemorates an 18th-century trading centre at a junction of Indian paths and colonial roads. During the U.S. War of Independence the area was a Tory stronghold. The war's first battle in South Carolina was fought in 1775 at the Ninety Six fort; six years later a 28-day patriot assault finally drove out the British. The area was a cotton-growing region until soil erosion, boll weevil infestations, and economic changes led to its becoming largely forested after the mid-20th century. Greenwood county was established in 1897; the city of Greenwood is the county seat.
Agriculture (cattle and eggs), lumbering, and industry (clothing and other textile products and electronic and technical equipment) form the basis of the economy. Area 456 square miles (1,180 square km). Pop. (19902000) 5966,567271; (1998 2007 est.) 6368,623259.

Washington • As housing inventory remained low in May, prices continued to rise, posting the fastest year-over-year growth since 2006, according to data released Tuesday.
Home prices, including distressed sales, rose 2.6 percent in May and were up 12.2 percent from a year earlier, the largest annual growth since February 2006, according to CoreLogic, an Irvine, Calif.-based analysis firm. Excluding short sales and other distressed properties, prices rose 2.3 percent in May and were up 11.6 percent from the year-earlier period.
"As we approach the halfway point of 2013, home prices continue to respond positively to the reductions in home inventory thus far," said Mark Fleming, CoreLogic's chief economist.
Annual price growth, including distressed properties, was seen in almost every state. Nevada, which was hit particularly hard when the bubble burst, saw the largest year-over-year price growth at 26 percent. The only two states with negative annual growth were Alabama, where prices declined 0.1 percent, and Delaware, where prices fell 0.6 percent.
Despite gains, national home prices, including distressed properties, remain 20.4 percent below a 2006 peak.
Economists say the housing market won't sustain such outsized gains. For one, rising prices induce more sellers to place their homes on the market, thereby increasing inventory. Also, builders are increasing construction.
"The rise in prices is a signal to the market to supply more housing. This is exactly what we expect to happen over the next several years," TD Economics analysts wrote in a recent research note.
TD analysts expect year-over-year growth in home prices to slow to below 4 percent next year.

Focus on Economic Data: Gross Domestic Product - November 2001
Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during the third quarter (July through September) of 2001 decreased at an annual rate of 1.1 percent. This is the "preliminary" estimate for the third quarter. The estimate is based on incomplete data and will be revised in the final announcement in December. During the first and second quarters of 2001, real GDP increased at an annual rate of 1.3 percent and 0.3 percent respectively.
For the year 2000, real GDP increased at annual rates of 2.3, 5.7, 1.3, and 1.9 percent in each of the four quarters. The slowing rate of growth throughout 2000 has continued through 2001. The growth rate in real GDP over the last 12 months has been 0.8 percent. That compares with a more than 4 percent annual growth rate over the last several years.
Why are Changes in Real Gross Domestic Product Important?
The measurement of the production of goods and services produced each year permits us to evaluate our monetary and fiscal polices, our investment and saving patterns, the quality of our technological advances, and our material well-being. While rates of inflation and unemployment and changes in our income distribution provide us additional measures of the successes and weaknesses of our economy, none is a more important indicator of our economy's health than rates of change in real GDP.
Changes in real GDP are discussed in the press and on the nightly news after every monthly announcement of the latest quarter's data or revision. Real GDP trends are prominently included in discussions of potential slowdowns and economic booms. They are featured in many discussions of trends in stock prices. Economic commentators use falls in real GDP as indicators of recessions. The most popular (although inaccurate) definition of a recession is at least two consecutive quarters of declining real GDP. See below for a discussion of the current recession.
Most important, changes in real GDP per capita provide our best measures of changes in our material standards of living.
Definition of Gross Domestic Product
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one measure of economic activity, the total amount of goods and services produced in the United States in a year. It is calculated by adding together the market values of all of the final goods and services produced in a year.
- It is a gross measurement because it includes the total amount of goods and services produced, some of which are simply replacing goods that have depreciated or have worn out.
- It is domestic production because it includes only goods and services produced within the U.S.
- It measures current production because it includes only what was produced during the year.
- It is a measurement of the final goods produced because it does not include the value of a good when sold by a producer, again when sold by the distributor, and once more when sold by the retailer to the final customer. We count only the final sale.
Changes in GDP from one year to the next reflect changes in the output of goods and services and changes in their prices. To provide a better understanding of what actually is occurring in the economy, real GDP is also calculated. In fact, these changes are more meaningful, as the changes in real GDP show what has actually happened to the quantities of goods and services, independent of changes in prices.
Data Trends
The growth in real GDP over the past few years has been relatively high when compared with the early part of the 1990s. However, during the last two quarters of 2000 and the first three quarters of 2001, the rate of growth of real gross domestic product slowed tremendously. During the third quarter of 2001, real GDP was actually negative for the first time since 1993, reinforcing concerns that our economy is in a recession. The last recession began in July of 1990 and continued through March of 1991.
The Federal Reserve has responded to slowing growth and the potential of recession by reducing the target federal funds rate by 450 basis points (4.5%) from January 2001 to November 2001. (See the November 11 Federal Reserve System and Monetary Policy Case and the upcoming December 11 Federal Reserve case.)
The price index for GDP increased at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the third quarter of 2001, compared to 2.3 percent for 2000.
The rate of increase in real GDP has been higher in the last several years than in the first part of the 1990s and much of the 1970s and 1980s. Economic growth, as measured by average annual changes in real GDP, was 4.4 percent in the 1960s. Average rates of growth decreased during the 1970s (3.3%), the 1980s (3.0%), and the first half of the 1990s (2.2%). In the last five years of the 1990s, the rate of growth in real GDP increased to 3.8 percent, with the last three years being over 4.1 percent per year.
The upward trend in economic growth over the past decade has been accompanied by increases in the rates of increase of consumption spending, investment spending, and exports. Productivity increases, decreases in unemployment, expansions in the labor force, and increases in the amount of capital have allowed real GDP to grow at the faster rates. During this same time period, consumers have reduced their savings.
Details of the Third-Quarter Changes in Real GDP
Real GDP in the third quarter fell from its level in the second quarter of 2001. Personal consumption expenditures and government spending increased during the third quarter, but both increased at significantly slower rates than in recent quarters. The slower growth in government spending was almost entirely due to the elimination of any increases in state and local government spending.
Even these increases were offset by declines in nonresidential fixed investment and a decrease in private inventory investment. Imports, which are subtracted from real GDP, decreased, but exports, which are added to real GDP, decreased by a greater amount. Thus the effect of the changes in net exports was to decrease spending in the economy.
Consumers continued to increase spending, but at a slower rate of increase. Real consumption spending increased at an annual rate of 1.1 percent, as compared to 2.9 percent for the previous three quarters. There are indications that the growth in consumer spending slowed each month during the quarter.
Real investment decreased at an annual rate of 10.7 percent during the third quarter, compared to a decrease of 12.1 in the second quarter. The largest part of the decrease in investment spending was due to a reduction in non-residential fixed investment, such as structures, equipment, and software. Businesses continued to reduce their inventories.
Exports decreased by 17.7 percent (compared to a decrease of 11.9 percent in the second quarter) and imports decreased by 12.9 percent (compared to a decrease of 8.4 percent in the second quarter). Thus net exports fell slightly during the quarter.
Monetary policy has been used to encourage consumers to increase spending and businesses to increase investment. In addition, there is much discussion and debate about the effects of a fourth-quarter increase in government spending. The short-run effects of both the monetary policy and the increase in government spending should be some stimulus to spending.
On November 26, The National Bureau of Economic Research announced though its Business Cycle Dating Committee that it had determined that a peak in business activity occurred in March of 2001. That signals the official beginning to a recession.
The NBER defines a recession as a "significant decline in activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, visible in industrial production, employment, real income, and wholesale-retail trade." The current data show a decline in employment, but not as large as in the previous recession. Real income growth has slowed but not declined. Manufacturing and trade sales and industrial production have both declined and have been doing so for some time.
While the common media definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of decline in real GDP, this recession is beginning before quarterly real GDP actually has declined.
Current news reports do discuss possibilities of the recent terrorist attacks actually increasing the severity and length of the recession. If that happens, it would likely be due to falling consumption spending due to declining consumer confidence, declines in industries most directly affected by the terrorism (travel and tourism, being prime examples), and further cutbacks in business investment spending.
The last recession began in July of 1990 and ended in March of 1991, a period of eight months. However, the beginning of the recession was not announced until April of 1991 (after the recession had actually ended). The end of the recession was announced in December of 1992, almost 21 months later. One of the reasons the end of the recession was so difficult to determine was the economy did not grow very rapidly even after it came out a period of falling output and income.

Changes in Nominal Gross Domestic Product
Nominal GDP - that is, GDP measured in current prices - increased at annual rate of 1.1 percent in the second quarter to a level of $10,229.7 billion. The rate of change in nominal GDP (1.1%) equals the change in real GDP (-1.1%) plus the change in prices of goods included in nominal GDP (2.2%). The latter is represented by the GDP deflator , sometimes described as the GDP price index.
A Hint About News Reports
Many news reports simply use "gross domestic product" as a term to describe this announcement. The actual announcement focuses on the REAL gross domestic product, and that is the meaningful part of the report. In addition, newspapers will often refer to the rate of growth during the most recent quarter and will not always refer to the fact that it is reported at annual rates of change. This is contrasted to the reports of the consumer price index, which are reported at actual percentage changes in the index for a single month, and not at annual rates.
Explanations of GDP and its Components
It is common to see the following equation in economics textbooks:
Consumption spending (C) consists of consumer spending on goods and services. It is often divided into spending on durable goods, non-durable goods, and services. These purchases accounted for 69 percent of GDP in the first quarter.
- Durable goods are items such as cars, furniture, and appliances, which are used for several years (10%).
- Non-durable goods are items such as food, clothing, and disposable products, which are used for only a short time period (20%).
- Services include rent paid on apartments (or estimated values for owner-occupied housing), airplane tickets, legal and medical advice or treatment, electricity and other utilities. Services are the fastest growing part of consumption spending (39%).
Investment spending (I) consists of non-residential fixed investment, residential investment, and inventory changes. Investment spending accounts for 17 percent of GDP, but varies significantly from year to year.
- Non-residential fixed investment is the creation of tools and equipment to use in the production of other goods and services. Examples are the building of factories, the production of new machines, and the manufacturing of computers for business use (14%).
- Residential investment is the building of a new homes or apartments (4%).
- Inventory changes consist of changes in the level of stocks of goods necessary for production and finished goods ready to be sold (<1%).
Government spending (G) consists of federal, state, and local government spending on goods and services such as research, roads, defense, schools, and police and fire departments. This spending does not include transfer payments such as Social Security, unemployment compensation, and welfare payments, which do not represent production of goods and services (17.5%).
Net Exports (NX) is equal to exports minus imports. Exports are items produced in the U.S. and purchased by foreigners (11%). Imports are items produced by foreigners and purchased by U.S. consumers (16%). Thus, net exports (exports minus imports) are negative, about -4% of the GDP. (For more information on the balance of trade, see the Trade Report case study.)
GDP as a Measure of Well-being
Changes in real GDP are a more accurate representation of meaningful economic growth than changes in nominal GDP, because changes in real GDP represent changes in quantities produced, while prices are held constant. Real GDP per capita is even more relevant because it measures goods and services produced per person and thus approximates the amount of goods and services each person can enjoy. If real GDP grows, but the population grows faster, then each person, on average, is actually worse off than the change in real GDP would indicate.
Consider the table below. While the mainland part of China has a real GDP of $991 billion, its real GDP per capita is only $791.30. Hong Kong has a much smaller real GDP of $159 billion. However, its real GDP per capita is much higher at $23,639.58. Other nations, such as France and Germany, may have quite different GDPs, but real GDPs per capita that are very close.

Revisions in GDP Announcements
Real GDP for each quarter is announced three times. The month following the end of the quarter is described as the advance GDP; the second announcement or revision is described as the preliminary announcement; and the third month is the final. While labeled as the final version, even it will eventually be revised after the final data for the year are published. Over the past five quarters, the advance estimates have been revised by +0.1 to -0.7 percent with an average decrease of 0.3 in the rate of growth of GDP and the preliminary estimates have been revised by +0.3 to -0.5 percent with an average decrease of 0.1 in the rate of growth of GDP.
Revisions in inventory investment and the international trade data are often the causes of changes in the GDP figures. Because changes in inventories and international trade data make up significant portions of the current report, one should be particularly cautious in using the "preliminary" figures.

Did you know?
Londolozi has pioneered a new electric, zero-emissions safari vehicle.
South Africa's Nelson Mandela hailed Londolozi Private Game Reserve as 'the model of the dream I cherish for the future of nature preservation in our country'. The name says it all: Londolozi is a Zulu word that means 'protector of all living things'.
The camps in the reserve are situated along the Sand river in the 56 000ha Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, which borders the world-famous Kruger National Park. The area is famous for its leopard, along with other magnificent large mammals: lion, elephant, giraffe, rhino, buffalo and zebra.
The success story of Londolozi Game Reserve in Mpumalanga province started in the 1970s when the Varty brothers inherited a hunting lodge on the property. They have developed it into one of the most famous lodges and exclusive wildlife destinations in Africa, known for its brilliant photographic opportunities of the big cats. The camps also offer an array of other activities such as moonlit bush dinners, private bush breakfasts, guided bush walks and stargazing trips.
Besides the four camps – Pioneer, Founder, Varty and Tree – Londolozi Private Game Reserve is also home to three ultra-luxurious Private Granite Suites in an exclusive camp. The suites are built on a spectacular outcrop of granite, on the banks of the perennial Sand River.
Furnished in shades of silver and charcoal, they are sophisticated but allow for untrammelled contact with nature. Huge picture windows open onto a view of the Sand River.
As well as a luxurious bathroom, you can also immerse yourself in a large bath on the river's banks. There is no better way to feel at one with nature and the riverine ecosystem than to be in warm, scented water with the river rush close by and a bird singing from a sheltering ebony tree.
If you're looking for a different kind of immersion, each suite also has its own heated plunge pool.
The New York Times described the suites as 'arguably the best rooms in the entire Kruger area, with private plunge pools that drop onto the boulders forming the Sand River banks, and close enough to the river to hear it running while lying in bed'.
Splurge out on the safari of a lifetime at Londolozi − one of the top lodges in southern Africa, and enjoy fabulous accomodation and fantastic game viewing..

Windows is dead, kaput, finito. It is pushing up daisies, it has joined the choir invisible, it has ceased to be. Like Margaret Thatcher, Jonathan Winters, and Annette Funicello, it has shuffled off its mortal coil and moved on to a better (or in Thatcher's case, hotter) place. Windows' death has not been exaggerated.
OK, maybe a little exaggerated. But not according to my esteemed colleague Steven J. Vaughn-Nicholls over at ZDnet, who composed Windows' obit earlier this week. Sayeth Steven:
Most people in our recent debate over the future of Windows 8 thought that the operating system could be saved. I'm sure many people in 1491 thought that the Earth was flat, too. ...
It looks like Microsoft is betting all its chips on the silly notion that Metro will be the one true interface for its entire PC and device line. There's only one little problem with this idea. Sorry, but I have to say it again, look at the numbers: Metro-interface operating systems have already failed.

If nothing else, it's a brilliant way to stir the pot and drive traffic during an otherwise slow week in tech news. Kudos, SJVN. His debate partner, the effervescent Ed Bott, took the opposite view, of course. But even he found flaws in Microsoft's abandonment of a UI that Windows users had grown accustomed to, like partners in a bad marriage who cling together despite the pain because it's still preferable to divorce. Ed writes:
It's tempting to compare Windows 8 to its predecessors. But I really see it as the first Windows release in a new generation. ...
Windows 8 is more like a living organism, made partly from familiar bits that have evolved over the last two decades, with several new strands of DNA tossed in. It's due to be updated for more often, and it's part of a much larger hardware-apps-services ecosystem that is also changing quickly.
Oh my God, it's alive! Save yourselves -- run for the hills!
Usability is only skin deep
As I write this, Microsoft is readying Windows "Blue" (not to be confused with Google's Gmail Blue), otherwise known as Windows 8.1. Rumors are flying that Microsoft might just maybe bring back that Start button, the lack of which has utterly flummoxed many longtime Windows sufferers, and allow people to boot directly into Desktop mode, bypassing the tiles-based don't-call-it-Metro interface entirely.
