What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Advil Overview
Ibuprofen is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headache, dental pain, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, or arthritis. It is also used to reduce fever and to relieve minor aches and pain due to the common cold or flu. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you.
Advil Warnings
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including ibuprofen) may rarely increase the risk for a heart attack or stroke. This effect can happen at any time while taking Advil but is more likely if you take it for a long time. The risk may be greater in older adults or if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes). Do not take Advil right before or after heart bypass surgery (CABG). Advil may rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning at any time while taking Advil. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect.stomach/abdominal pain that doesn't go away, black/tarry stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, confusion, weakness on one side of the body, trouble speaking, sudden vision changes. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about the benefits and risks of taking Advil.
How to Use Advil
If you are taking the over-the-counter product, read all directions on the product package before taking Advil. If your doctor has prescribed Advil, read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking ibuprofen and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take Advil by mouth, usually every 4 to 6 hours with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters) unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking Advil. If you have stomach upset while taking Advil, take it with food, milk, or an antacid. The Dosage of Advil is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To reduce your risk of stomach bleeding and other side effects, take Advil at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Do not increase your dose or take Advil more often than directed by your doctor or the package label. For ongoing conditions such as arthritis, continue taking Advil as directed by your doctor. When ibuprofen is used by children, the dose is based on the child's weight. Read the package directions to find the proper dose for your child's weight. Consult the pharmacist or doctor if you have questions or if you need help choosing a nonprescription product. For certain conditions (such as arthritis), it may take up to two weeks of taking Advil regularly until you get the full benefit. If you are taking Advil "as needed" (not on a regular schedule), remember that pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well. If your condition lasts or gets worse, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away. If you are using the nonprescription product to treat yourself or a child for fever or pain, consult the doctor right away if fever gets worse or lasts more than 3 days, or if pain worsens or lasts more than 10 days.
Advil Precautions
Before taking ibuprofen, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to aspirin or other NSAIDs (such as naproxen, celecoxib); or if you have any other allergies. Advil may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Before taking Advil, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,asthma (including a history of worsening breathing after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs), blood disorders (such as anemia, bleeding/clotting problems), growths in the nose (nasal polyps), heart disease (such as previous heart attack), high blood pressure, liver disease, stroke, throat/stomach/intestinal problems (such as bleeding, heartburn, ulcers). Kidney problems can sometimes occur with the use of NSAID medications, including ibuprofen. Problems are more likely to occur if you are dehydrated, have heart failure or kidney disease, are an older adult, or if you take certain medications (see also Drug Interactions section). Drink plenty of fluids as directed by your doctor to prevent dehydration and tell your doctor right away if you have a change in the amount of urine. Advil may make you dizzy or drowsy. Alcohol or marijuana (cannabis) can make you more dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs alertness until you can do it safely. Limit alcoholic beverages. Talk to your doctor if you are using marijuana (cannabis). This medicine may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined with this medicine, may increase your risk for stomach bleeding. Limit alcohol and stop smoking. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Advil may make you more sensitive to the sun. Limit your time in the sun. Avoid tanning booths and sunlamps. Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Tell your doctor right away if you get sunburned or have skin blisters/redness. Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). Older adults may be at greater risk for stomach/intestinal bleeding, kidney problems, heart attack, and stroke while using Advil. Before using Advil, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the benefits and risks. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. Advil may harm an unborn baby and cause problems with normal labor/delivery. It is not recommended for use in pregnancy from 20 weeks until delivery. If your doctor decides that you need to use Advil between 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy, you should use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. You should not use Advil after 30 weeks of pregnancy. Advil passes into breast milk, but is unlikely to harm a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Advil Misdose
If you are taking Advil on a regular schedule (not just "as needed") and you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Advil Interactions
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.aliskiren, ACE inhibitors (such as captopril, lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (such as losartan, valsartan), cidofovir, corticosteroids (such as prednisone), lithium, "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide). Advil may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with other drugs that also may cause bleeding. Examples include anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel, "blood thinners" such as dabigatran/enoxaparin/warfarin, among others. Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (including aspirin, NSAIDs such as celecoxib, ketorolac, or naproxen). These drugs are similar to ibuprofen and may increase your risk of side effects if taken together. However, if your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin for heart attack or stroke prevention (usually 81-162 milligrams a day), you should continue taking the aspirin unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Daily use of ibuprofen may decrease aspirin's ability to prevent heart attack/stroke. Talk to your doctor about using a different medication (such as acetaminophen) to treat pain/fever. If you must take ibuprofen, talk to your doctor about taking immediate-release aspirin (not enteric-coated/EC) while taking ibuprofen. Take ibuprofen at least 8 hours before or at least 2 hours after your aspirin dose. Do not increase your daily dose of aspirin or change the way you take aspirin/other medications without your doctor's approval.
Advil Side Effects
Upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, or drowsiness may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. If your doctor has prescribed Advil, remember that your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using Advil do not have serious side effects. Advil may raise your blood pressure. Check your blood pressure regularly and tell your doctor if the results are high. Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects,easy bruising/bleeding, hearing changes (such as ringing in the ears), mental/mood changes, unexplained stiff neck, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), vision changes, symptoms of heart failure (such as swelling ankles/feet, unusual tiredness, unusual/sudden weight gain). Advil may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of liver damage,nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, loss of appetite, dark urine, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin. A very serious allergic reaction to Advil is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction,fever, swollen lymph nodes, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch. In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

What I find interesting is that the few photos I was hesitant to post (because I wasn't sure if people would like them) have received some of the most positive feedback. I know now to definitely trust my first instincts!
You should so trust your instincts! I love your photos. The yoghurt cheese post is inspiring... I have wanted to make it for years.. I definately will now thanks (you don't have comments enabled on the post)ReplyDelete
Hi Clare,ReplyDelete
Oh you should definitely make some yogurt cheese. It's really nice stuff and so easy. I know you will come up with a million uses for it.
Thanks for the heads up about the disabled comments on the chives post. Guess I hit a button by mistake last night. Computers! Aargh! :)

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.
Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!
Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.
I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!

Breast cancer survivor Sally D found her first 3-Day experience in San Francisco this July to be more than she could have ever imagined. So much so, it inspired her mom, Nancy to join Sally to walk in the 2013 Seattle 3-Day that started this morning. Nancy is celebrating her 90th birthday during her 3-Day weekend! Nancy's granddaughter Christy also joined them to make a three-generation team.
When Sally D came back from the San Francisco Bay Area 3-Day, she shared her memories with her mother. "I showed my 89 year-old mom the photos from my first 3-Day, and she got emotional recounting how her sister, Margaret, died of breast cancer at age 52. She said, 'Sal, if I were younger, I would have liked to have walked with you. I am proud of you that you have done this.'"
Sally realized that her mother's age didn't have to stand in the way. "Why can't she do it? She turns 90 on the 3-Day, so Team Nancy at Ninety was born. It was meant to be – Seattle is her childhood town!"
It took a bit of cajoling to convince Nancy that she could go the distance. "They have a sweep van," mentioned her daughter Nancy. "You only need to walk a few miles at a time, then they'll take you to the next pit stop. Whatever you can do will be perfect. We can even sleep in a hotel at night!"
Nancy with her daughter Sally are teaming up with their fundraising efforts. "We have handed out fliers around her neighborhood, and received a few donations. Her friends in her old community are supporting her. Our family is pitching in, and many of my friends are so inspired by her determination that they are donating again. Who wouldn't be inspired by a 90 year old who has the guts to do this? Or even who has the ability to walk a mile each day! It has been phenomenal, and has given Mom a new focus for her life."
Sally reflected on her 3-Day journey that began when a friend asked, "Do you want to do the San Francisco 3-Day with me?" Sally said, "That small pebble tossed into still waters progressed from a ripple to a tsunami! It led to training, taking better care of myself, meeting others and creating a team that raised nearly $10,000. Now I am walking in my second 3-Day with my mom and our Seattle team. It's approaching tsunami proportions!"
Here's to Nancy, Sally, and Christy! Seattle participants, be sure to find team "Nancy at Ninety" and wish our special participant a happy 90th birthday!

Abteilung 502 Oil Paint: Green Grass
Abteilung 502 Oil Paint: Green Grass
This Abteilung 502 Green Grass paint tube contains 20ml of high quality Green Grass coloured oil paint.
Perfect colour to develop lights and shadows or faded effects of Green colours. It also looks fantastic on green figures when looking for extra luminosity.
Abteilung 502
Abteilung 502 oils not only contain a range of exclusive colors for modelers, but its special formula in which the proportion of oil to our high quality of pigments is controlled, allowing much more realistic finishes that can't be mimicked with those arts and craft store oil paints. Abteilung 502 has enlarged
our already wide range of oils along with some new enhancements to Abteilung's already high quality formula. Due to Abteilung's wide range of colors, these oils can be used in all areas of modeling from armor to planes to ships to figures
Note: The actual paint colours may vary from the colour swatches. We have tried to get as close as possible to the actual colours, but the swatches below will give you a good approximation of the true shades.

Handcart Pioneer Companies
Part of the Mormon migration to Salt Lake City included an experiment of sorts that saw pioneers coming across the Plains in handcarts instead of wagons. The experiment began in 1856 with the Edmund Ellsworth company and ended in 1860 with the Oscar Stoddard Company. The idea was that money could be saved in having pioneers use handcarts instead of wagons. The experiment nearly ended as soon as it began with the tragedies of the Willie and Martin companies, but seeing success it was continued. One source of the names of the rosters comes from the book,
Handcarts to Zion
by LeRoy R. Hafen and Ann W. Hafen. The book is still in print and it can be found at
Deseret Book
and it is the best source of information concerning the handcart experience. An article,
Handcart Companies
by William G. Hartley provides an excellent overview of the handcart pioneers. An
from Josiah Rogerson describes the construction of the handcarts.

Those in the art world--patrons, teachers, and artists--did not take landscape painting seriously, placing greater value on historical works, portraits, and genre pictures. Renaissance (and later Neoclassical and academic schools) followed the lead of Greek art in focusing on figure drawing and figure painting of the human body, especially nudes. In comparison, landscape was insignificant. Until the early/mid-16th century, landscapes were included in painting purely as a backdrop for human activity.
More about the development and evolution of the genre can be found at visual-arts-cork.com/genres/landscape-painting.htm, where I retrieved most of the above information, among many other sources on the Web.
The word, which derives from Middle Dutch "landscap," is a combination of "land" and "-ship, condition." According to the Online Etymology Dictionary: "-ship Old English -sciepe, Anglian scip, "state, condition of being; from Proto-Germanic -skapaz (cf. Old Norse. -skapr, Old Frisian -skip, Dutch. -schap, German -schaft), from base skap, "to create, ordain, appoint," from Proto-Indo-European base *(s)kep- (see shape [v.).
etymonline.com notes that the word was originally introduced as a painters' term. Its meaning of "tract of land with its distinguishing characteristics" dates from 1886. The verb meaning "to lay out lawns, gardens, etc., plant trees for the sake of beautification" was first recorded in 1927 and derives from the noun, as is often the case with verbs, as "to gesso."
The noun "landscape" originally meant a patch of cultivated ground and, later, an image. It was incorporated into English at the start of the 17th century as a term for works of art; it wasn't used to describe real vistas before 1725, per Wikipedia.
So much for the brief history and lengthy etymology of landscape.
arts-cork.com concludes that how landscape will develop in this century remains unclear, inquiring speculatively: "Will the demands and disciplines of academic art stimulate a return to traditional, naturalistic canvases, or will the fashion for abstract and discursive art--involving figures and actions, as well as modern delivery methods like video--continue to dominate? One wonders what type of landscapes Turner and Monet would be painting, if they were alive today."
The post-Renaissance art world may not have taken landscape painting seriously or placed it high on the genres spectrum, but a look at local galleries demonstrates that--from a purely quantitative perspective--it's number 1. By far, landscapes outnumber any other type of art locally, although the percentage varies from gallery to gallery, with naturalistic canvases predominating and a particular promontory in the local geography appearing with great frequency.

Digital proficiency is no longer just "nice to have" for banks; it is a requirement for successful customer engagement and long-term growth. In 2010, the company adopted an agile approach to software development and delivery - launching products in rapid iterations and adjusting them based on customer feedback. The shift to agile helped the bank clarify its development strategy and its customer value proposition. It also prompted ING to redefine its employee value proposition by shining a bright spotlight on the high-quality engineering talent required to lead digital innovation.
We've digitized our processes to make transactions clear and easy for our customers. We've invested heavily in channels and touchpoints with our customers, introducing mobile and other technologies so that we can offer our services 24/7, anytime, anywhere. We've invested in analytics and in getting a 360-degree view of customers to better empower them to make important decisions about their financial assets. And we've introduced agile ways of working - in particular, a DevOps model.

90 Mins
The main vision of project " Thaalavattam" (A percussion based project) is to create music using innovative instruments made from waste plastic and metal (reduce. reuse and recycle). Thaalavattam aims to clean up the plastic waste that is plaguing India, through music. At the moment in India, Thaalavattam also conducts rhythm rush ( A drum circle event) through which we try to encourage people to recycle and re-use waste materials.
This is a percussion-based project by Montry Manuel, which uses instruments created from waste plastic and metal with the aim to inspire people to think creatively about waste. His instruments are mainly created from reused paint cans, soda cans, PVC pipes etc. mimicking the street drummers. The basic ideology is that everyone can be a part of the circle.
Isabel Evans - Leading, Following or Managing? Help your Group ThriveIsabel EvansIndependent Quality and Testing consultantBritish Computer Society
schedule 6 years agoSold Out!
45 Mins
We work in teams. Teams that have goals, that work together to solve problems, that sometimes squabble and make up. How people in the group behave depends on the styles of leadership, management and followership adopted in the group, and on each of our individual behaviours.
Do we have a mentoring, coaching, managing or leadership role towards others? Are we following or learning from others? Do we influence our colleagues and organisations in public or behind the scenes? Are these interactions built into a formal hierarchy in our group? Have we informally adopted an interaction role? Or have we even been forced into a particular interaction role?
In order that we work together as efficiently and effectively as possible, we need to understand the range of approaches or styles for leadership and management, what styles we feel most comfortable with, and how we react to both being leaders and being led.
It's not just humans who work in groups. Other animals can tell us about how we interact with individuals, teams, and groups both as leaders and followers. Isabel discusses animal behaviour, predators, animal groups, parasites and epiphytes, and the richness of symbiotic partnership.
Regardless of the project model/software life cycle model you use, you'll need to understand these interactions, and when to adopt a leadership, mentoring, coaching, following or learning attitude in order to help your group thrive.

Modern human history is a story of humans inventing new tools to do more with less. "Doing more" has allowed most of us to no longer worry about producing our own food, collecting water, planning long journeys, etc. Instead, we're able to specialize, buy what we need for less, and to some extent explore ourselves a lot more.
We're far from done, and of course humanity is far from perfect. In this talk, I'll show the role that automations and computers play in building a brighter future.

If everyone is following best practices no one has competitive advantage. Major improvements in the value chain depend on continued disruptive innovations. Innovations leverage people and their ideas. We use case studies to illustrate the different business and technical innovations and their impact. We conclude with a discussion of how to build and leverage an innovation culture versus a sprint death march when dealing with high value time to market projects.

Organizations struggle to adopt Agile practices because their cultures do not encourage or support Agile ways of working. Examining the beliefs of leaders and professionals in organizations can reveal insights about the organization's readiness for change. The five beliefs discussed in this presentation help organizations to have an honest, and often revealing, conversation about why they want to become Agile, and how far they are willing to go to adopt Agile principles, practices, and mindsets. By helping organizations understand what they really value, discussions about beliefs can reveal potential barriers to adopting Agile practices and mindsets. Understanding these barriers is essential to overcoming them and achieving the benefits of Agility.

schedule 6 years agoSold Out!
20 Mins
Many companies working hard to be more agile have a strong focus on process but failing to focus on product. This session's focus is on product over process or project. Differing from sessions about scaling process, we will talk transitioning to product learning by building product teams and product communities. As a vehicle, we will discuss scaling product agility in context of three models: one team, one product, many teams and one product, and many teams and a large system (where product varies based on configuration.) For each model, we will talk about embracing uncertainty, focusing on measurable impact and accelerating product learning with agile practices and DevOps techniques. The session is for people looking to transition to a product focus and will be helpful individuals, team leads, product managers and anyone looking to evolve from more process to more product and eventually to more impact and more product learning possibly without adding process and by possibly building less of the wrong thing.

You have a great idea and you want to build the product and launch it in market as soon as possible. Before anyone else can launch it. Great! But building the product takes time, money and opportunity cost. While building and launching a successful product, several things can go wrong:
- Have you really understood the core problem from the user's point of view?
- Will your users like the user experience?
- Have you validated your core-loop which makes your product very engaging?
- Is your business model flushed out and validated?
- And so on...
So how do you minimise these risks?
In this 90 mins workshop, you will run some real tests with real users to de-risk yourself and gain validated learning.

With newer trends in the mobile world, there are plethora of apps that every user downloads on their mobile phone. However not every app is an 'Instagram' or 'Snapchat'. The science behind what appeals to a user vs what doesn't, has been an emerging field of research. There are multiple aspects when it comes to the question 'What makes your app successful?'. From the core loop of the product to user experience, there are many parameters that decide the fate of an app.
In this workshop, I would focus on the usability and user experience testing, which helps in product discovery/development. We would discuss briefly about the structure and stages of usability tests. Later we will focus particularly on conducting user tests through hands-on exercises. The session will give you a dip-stick experience into running usability or user tests.

Joshua Kerievsky - Modern Agile Workshop
480 Mins
Much has changed since the publishing of the Agile Manifesto in 2001.
Pioneers and practitioners of lean and agile methods have examined weaknesses and friction points, experimented with simpler approaches, and produced agile processes that are safer, simpler and far more capital efficient. The result is modern agile. It's values-driven, non-prescriptive and an easier starting point than antiquated agile processes. Modern agile amplifies the values and practices of organizations that have discovered better ways to get awesome results. Are you still cramming low-quality work in the end of each sprint, struggling with growing technical debt, arguing about "definition of done" or frustrated that "management/product never gives us time to do it right?"
In this 1-day workshop, you will learn to deliver awesome results by
- experiencing how the four principles of modern agile guide decisions,
- increasing safety in your culture, code and products,
- identifying friction points and simplify your process,
- engage the entire team to continually uncover better ways of working.

schedule 6 years agoSold Out!
480 Mins
In today's business environment, the user experience and the commercial imperatives have become overwhelmingly important. As testers, it is vital that we understand quality in use and the user experience, in order that we focus our tests correctly.
"Quality in Use" measures human, business, and societal impacts of products (usability, accessibility, flexibility, commercial, safety). This builds to a User Experience (UX) and are underpinned by technical and engineering qualities. For the people selling, supporting, or using the products, this is the beating heart of the customer experience. Without these "big picture" attributes, delivered software will not be acceptable, may result in reduced profits, and may not be legal. In the tutorial, Isabel will use examples from real projects to discuss how to design tests derived from the user personas, contexts of use, and acceptance criteria.
Joshua Kerievsky - The Art of Refactoring
480 Mins
Code that is difficult to understand, hard to modify and challenging to extend is hazardous to developers, users and organizations. Refactoring, or improving the design of existing code, is one of our greatest defenses against such code. Yet many programmers lack formal training in refactoring. Furthermore, management tends to lack knowledge about the value of refactoring. This one-day workshop is designed to address these needs. You'll learn the art of refactoring safely, when, why and how to refactor hazardous code, strategies and tactics for refactoring, as well as refactoring to patterns. You'll also learn how refactoring impacts business concerns and vice-versa. Come to this class prepared to code with a pair and a mob as we refactor example code and help you learn the art of refactoring.

Discretionary Funds Support State-of-Good-Repair, Sustainability Objectives for Transit
WASHINGTON, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–February 6, 2012. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced the availability of $826.5 million in Fiscal Year 2012 discretionary funds to modernize and repair transit vehicles and facilities around the country and promote the widespread use of sustainable clean fuel. The funding commitment highlights President Obama's call for investing in an America that's built to last.
"An American economy that's built to last must be built on a solid foundation, and when we have buses, transit facilities, and other equipment that's in disrepair, we simply cannot afford to ignore them," Secretary LaHood said. "The President knows that transportation projects like those we'll fund from today's announcement will help provide businesses and families with the safest, fastest, most efficient way to connect with opportunity."
"Reliable and desirable transit systems enable hard-working American families to keep billions of dollars in their wallets rather than hand them over at the gas pump," said Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff. "These investments will ensure that transit remains a dependable option and advance President Obama's goal for an America Built to Last."
The notice of funding availability (NOFA) published in today's Federal Registerinvites competitive proposals for three of the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) top policy priorities through the discretionary Bus and Bus Facilities and Clean Fuels grant programs, all subject to funding availability, as follows:
- State of Good Repair. Approximately $650 million available in FY2012 discretionary funds will bring the three-year total to $1.5 billion for over 300 projects aimed at replacing or rehabilitating transit infrastructure and for transit asset management. As transit ridership continues to increase putting even greater demand on our transit systems, FTA will also consider maintenance facility and equipment expansion requests to help address ongoing capacity constraints that limit a transit agency's ability to maintain vehicles and equipment in a state of good repair.
- Livability. Approximately $125 million is available for projects that will improve the quality of life through expanded transportation choices, new and better intermodal connections, reduced congestion, and/or services aimed at economically disadvantaged populations, including senior citizens and people with disabilities.
- Clean Fuels. Approximately $51.5 million is available to help communities meet national air quality standards that do not do so now. The program also supports the development and marketing of emerging clean fuel and advanced propulsion technologies for transit buses. This year, as in years past, FTA will consider expanding the eligible applicant pool by drawing upon additional discretionary Bus and Bus Facilities Program funds.
These discretionary funds are made available through FTA's Bus and Bus Facilities and Clean Fuels Programs. The public announcement of recipients receiving funds will be likely be made in July 2012. A complete schedule of FTA's upcoming discretionary programs, along with details on FTA's FY2012 apportionments, may be found here.

BlackBerry has asked a California court to block U.S. sales of the Typo keyboard, an add-on keyboard for the iPhone that BlackBerry says is an "obvious knock-off" of the keyboards on its phones.
The move, which came late Wednesday, intensifies a battle between the two companies that began in January this year when BlackBerry accused Typo of patent infringement. The lawsuit garnered considerable attention, in part because Typo was co-founded by popular U.S. radio and television personality Ryan Seacrest.
The keyboard is designed to slip onto an iPhone 5 or 5S to provide a physical keyboard. The $99 device is currently available for pre-order through the company's website, which advertises it has already sold out of an unspecified number of keyboards for January and February delivery.
Such keyboards have been a main selling point of BlackBerry devices since the company was making radio pagers and despite the recent popularity of on-screen virtual keyboards, there remains many users who value a physical keyboard.
BlackBerry alleges infringement of two patents: U.S. Design Patent 685,775 and U.S. Patent 7,629,964. The former covers the design elements of a "handheld electronic device" and the latter "an electronic device with keyboard optimized for use with the thumbs."
BlackBerry is asking the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to prohibit Typo from "making, using, offering to sell, or selling within the United States, or importing into the United States, the Typo Keyboard."
"Typo's blatant copying of BlackBerry's keyboard presents an imminent threat of irreparable harm to BlackBerry, and that threat is magnified in combination with the significant market power of the iPhone," BlackBerry said in a proposed motion to the court.
Seacrest comes up in the BlackBerry motion. The company notes he was a well-known, long-time user of BlackBerry devices and cites interviews where he said that the inspiration for the keyboard was trying to bring together the best of the BlackBerry typing experience with everything else an iPhone had to offer.
The motion also cites several reviews that note the visual similarity between the Typo and BlackBerry keyboards.
In response to BlackBerry's proposed motion, Typo said it believes BlackBerry's claims "lack merit and we intend to defend the case vigorously."
The comment repeats, almost word for word, a portion of a statement the company issued earlier in January when the lawsuit was first filed.
For BlackBerry, the issue is perhaps about more than just the visual similarities.
The company has been struggling to keep up with the fast pace of change being driven by Apple and Android phones and recently regrouped to focus more tightly on the government, military and enterprise customer.
That's the company's core business audience and the users that value a physical keyboard the most. If comparable keyboards become add-on accessories to Apple and Android phones, it would be more difficult for BlackBerry to compete.
Updated on January 24 to include a statement from Typo.

HOUSTON —The first female commander of the International Space Station (ISS) said Fridaythat she is confident Russian engineers will find the source of a glitch thatsent a Soyuz spacecraft off course during her April 19 landing with twocrewmates.
U.S.astronaut Peggy Whitson, who commanded the station's six-month Expedition16 mission, told reporters here at NASA's Johnson Space Center that Russia'sFederal Space Agency and an independent group looking into her off-targetlanding and an earlier one from October should find the root cause.
"They'llget to the bottom of it," said Whitson, adding that the Russian agency'sdecision to include outside investigators in their review willaid the process. "That will be a better way of having it lessbiased."
Whitsonreturned to Earth aboard a Russian-built Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft with Russiancosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko to complete a 192-day space station flight with alanding on the central Asian steppes of Kazakhstan. South Korea's firstastronaut So-yeon Yi also returned to Earth with them to wrap up an 11-day trekto the station.
The Soyuzreturned to Earth under a ballistic flight path, a steeper-than-normal descentthat subjected Whitson and her crewmates to just over eight times the force ofEarth's gravity, about twice what she expected. Whitson said the ballisticlanding approach is something she and Malenchenko were prepared for since itoccurred during the return of the station's Expedition 15 crew last fall.
The plungethrough the Earth's atmosphere was bumpy, with a malfunction delaying theseparation between the Soyuz's crew-carrying capsule and its disposablepropulsion module. But thorough training compensated for a loss ofcommunications with Russia's Mission Control during the entire descent, Whitsonsaid.
A group ofeight local Kazakhs greeted the Soyuz spaceflyers and helped Whitson and Yi outof the spacecraft, even if they didn't fully believe the astronauts came fromspace.
"HearingYuri tell the story as he was trying to explain to them where we came from wasvery entertaining," Whitson said with a laugh.
Whitsonreturned to her Houston home here last Saturday and is readapting to livinglife under the tug of Earth's gravity. Her garden, which she was lookingforward to seeing again after six months in orbit, is in good shape.
"Ihaven't been doing any digging yet, but I have checked out all my flowers tosee which ones are doing well," Whitson told SPACE.com.
A veteranof two long-duration missions to the space station, Whitson is NASA's reigningchampion for the most days in space (377 days over two expeditions) and saidher readjustment to Earth's gravity is going well.
During herExpedition 16 flight, she set a new record for the most spacewalking time by afemale astronaut and helped install a connecting module, Europe'sColumbus laboratory, and a storageroom for Japan's massive Kibo laboratory. The main segment for Japan's Kibolab, a tour bus-sized module that will become the station's largest room, is poisedto launch May 31 aboard NASA's shuttle Discovery.
"Iwould have loved to have had the whole thing there. I'm greedy that way,"Whitson said of the Kibo laboratory. "It was a lot of fun opening up newmodules. It's just an incredible new volume that we have, so that was veryneat."

Nothing More Radical Than Bible in Injustice Fight, Says Tutu
Nobel peace prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu said the Bible is the greatest weapon in the fight against injustice during a church conference on social justice.
"There's nothing more radical, nothing more revolutionary, nothing more subversive against injustice and oppression than the Bible," the South African archbishop said Saturday at London megachurch Jesus House For All Nations, according to co-sponsor Tearfund.
To the crowd of more than 800 U.K. church leaders, Tutu declared that the Bible has revolutionary power to free the poor as he drew from his experiences in apartheid-dominated South Africa.
"If you want to keep people subjugated, the last thing you place in their hands is a Bible," he said.
During the one-day "Who Is My Neighbor" event, churches were challenged to be the hands, feet, eyes and ears of Jesus in the fight against local and global poverty, with special emphasis on HIV.
Christian AIDS activist Lynne Hybels of the Chicago-area megachurch Willow Creek Community Church encouraged churches to be more engaged in the HIV/AIDS battle.
She said her awakening to the issue of HIV/AIDS while visiting Uganda was her "second conversion."
During her visit to Africa, she said she was forced to decide whether to give in to the hopelessness of the pandemic or to take positive action. She chose the latter and began to speak in public about the injustices of the AIDS crisis.
Hybels urged church leaders at the event to teach their congregations the values of compassion and justice.
In addition to Hybels and her husband Bill, who leads Willow Creek, megachurch leaders Kay and Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church are the other prominent church figures spearheading the effort to get churches around the world more involved in the AIDS crisis.
At the first Global Summit on AIDS and the Church at Saddleback Church in 2005, Lynne and Bill Hybels were key speakers and joined the Warren's on stage to call the Church to move away from condemning HIV-infected people and toward caring for them.
More than 33 million people worldwide have HIV, the virus which can lead to AIDS, according to the latest U.N. report. Over 2 million people have died of AIDS this year alone – including 330,000 children.

- Science
- The Loom
Branded with Science
The other day I was pondering how scientists tattoo themselves with their science. I was at a pool party where a friend, Bob Datta, had jumped into the water with his kids. Datta is a post-doc at Columbia, where he studies genes in Drosophila flies. I noticed that Bob had a tattoo of DNA on his shoulder. At first I thought it was a generic snippet of the molecule, but then Bob told me that it actually represents, in the genetic code, his wife's initials: EEE. Geek love in its noblest form. [For the gorey specifics, see Bob's comment below.]
Bob's tatoo reminded me that I have seen other scientists festooned with their science. There was the mycologist whose arms were covered with a black mesh, which he explained to me was subterranean network of threads produced by the death cap mushroom. And then there was the developmental biologist whose arm is swathed in the image of the fish he studies. (He declined my request for a photo of the tattoo until he gets tenure.)
So I'm wondering now–have I bumped into the tip of a vast hidden iceberg, or do I just happen to know the few scientists with tattoos of their science? If anyone wants to send me a jpg, I'll post it. If you're worried about tenure, just let me know how the tattoo represents the object of your study. The more personal the link, the better (i.e., not a generic tattoo of pi).
Below the fold: the iceberg unveiled!
Update, 9/2/07: The response to my question has been so rabid that I've moved all the pictures to a Flickr set. Feel free to send me yours–either post in the comment thread, or email it to blog at carlzimmer dot com.
Update, 2/18/08: The tattoos are moving to a new home: Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoo Emporium. The request for your science tattoo still stands.

Wall Street analysts rarely take controversial positions on publicly traded companies whose stock is doing well. But Chevron's mishandling of its $19 billion liability in Ecuador for dumping toxins into the Amazon is beginning to look like the exception, at least to the analysts at Seeking Alpha and a commentator at the influential proxy advisor Glass Lewis.
One thing is indisputable: cracks are beginning to appear in Chevron's determined effort to keep Wall Street in line with the idea that the Ecuador judgment represents no short-term threat to the company's financial position. One analyst even predicted the lawsuit eventually could lop as much as 20% off the company's share price. Even worse, the U.S. Supreme Court just dinged Chevron's final attempt to block enforcement around the world.
Some of these analysts are beginning to get that the judgment in Ecuador – from the very court where Chevron wanted the issues resolved– is based on overwhelming scientific evidence that proves Chevron committed what is probably the largest oil-related environmental disaster in world history. See here and here.
The fact that the plaintiffs now have launched seizure lawsuits targeting billions of dollars of Chevron assets in Brazil and Canada certainly takes the idea of litigation risk for Chevron to new and unchartered territory, leading one analyst to advise shareholders to dump the stock for now. Further, numerous U.S. courts, including the Supreme Court, recently denied Chevron's increasingly desperate attempts to derail the litigation while several institutional shareholders and a U.S. Congresswoman have asked the SEC to investigate the company for lying about its Ecuador risk.
Consider the various analyses from Seeking Alpha, an award-winning website for stock research that has more than 800,000 followers. Kiplinger's recently named Seeking Alpha the Most Informative Website; it also received a "Best of the Web" award from Forbes.
Seeking Alpha recently dismissed Chevron's fake fraud narrative and wrote in reference to the pending seizure action in Canada:
"Canada has a reputation for fair legal proceedings. This will make it incredibly difficult for Chevron to continue claiming that the lawsuit is based on fraud. I think it is highly unlikely, furthermore, that fraud is the reason for the charges against the company. In fact, I think that these recent developments may be the start of a downward trend for the company that it will struggle to recover from."Another Seeking Alpha analyst, David White, said just this week that Chevron shareholders should sell. In a blog, entitled Chevron Can't Seem To Turn The Bad News Faucet Off, White devoted his entire analysis to all of Chevron's many legal problems in Ecuador, Brazil and the company's own home state, California. Federal and state criminal prosecutions and hefty fines are a possibility due to safety problems at a refinery in Richmond, a small city just across the Bay from San Francisco. White wrote:
"…with all of these unexpected costs that CVX is facing, I think it is time to unload this historically strong, steady dividend payer….If you own CVX, it is time to sell it."
Another Seeking Alpha analyst wrote that Chevron is "losing support from all corners" in its bid to evade the Ecuador judgment. He also highlighted the growing number of courtroom setbacks suffered by Chevron's legal team at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, which was brought in two years ago to "rescue" the oil giant from its impending liability.
The analyst also reported concerns about the lawsuit from both shareholders and Members of Congress, writing that many of Chevron's institutional investors have "made it clear … that a settlement is the preferred course of action, as it appears increasingly unlikely that Chevron will be able to avoid paying out a significant portion of its available cash over this lawsuit."
"Although I believe it is in Chevron's best interests to settle the suit, this may represent a huge hit for the company, which I think could force its price per share as low as $80, a level not seen since 2010," the analyst concluded.
Another Seeking Alpha analyst wrote that the $19 billion liability in Ecuador and a separate $20 billion potential liability in Brazil resulting from an oil spill there in 2011 is "cast(ing) a long shadow" on Chevron's stock, which "could tumble" as a result.
He wrote:
"Chevron is continuing to build its cash balance, which now stands at $21.1 billion compared to $15.8 billion at the close of 2011. I think that fears over suits brought against it in Brazil and Ecuador, despite a Chevron show of bravado in casting these litigations as fraud, are contributing to Chevron's rapid accumulation of cash."
Noting that other oil majors give dividend increases, buy something and/or pay down debt when they have that much cash, the analyst projected that "it's unlikely that its cash balance will be substantially drawn down until both of these super-suits are settled or dismissed, which could be a matter of years." That was written in early September. Chevron has yet to do anything with its huge surplus.
The analyst wrote that the liabilities in Ecuador and Brazil together "could wipe out Chevron's healthy cash balance as well as a significant portion of its equity. This in turn would lower Chevron's outlook across the board. Chevron is a comfortable hold, but a risky buy in the current environment."
Glass Lewis, a leading proxy advisory firm, just this week urged shareholders to "remain vigilant" in holding Chevron accountable relative to its disclosure obligations. Courteney Keatinge, an analyst at Glass Lewis, wrote:
"As these legal battles consume considerable company resources and leave the company exposed to significant risk, shareholders should continue to remain vigilant in ensuring that Chevron is managing and disclosing these issues properly and sufficiently."Another analyst, Fadel Gheit at Oppenheimer & Co., following a meeting with Chevron's CEO John Watson in 2011, wrote that "a $2-3B settlement [in the Ecuador lawsuit]... could remove uncertainty and reflect positively on the stock." Later, in May of this year, after the Ecuador trial judgment was upheld on appeal, Gheit doubled-down on his belief that "a reasonable settlement with the plaintiffs impacted by the oil contamination in Ecuador...could boost the stock."
Gheit is generally pro-Chevron and he has written about the case in ways that suggest he does not fully understand how the legal process works. His recognition that Chevron now faces real liability is yet another example of the how company is beginning to lose some of its allies on Wall Street.

text: What's Up with This? I deleted the (2) required dirs again and will now run a fresh install. I'm not mad or anything just a little lost as always. I am behind a linksys router and have a WAN static IP from my provider 216.X.X.X The linksys is the gateways with an ip of 192.168.1.x and the debain box with ISPconfig installed is behind it also on a 192.168.1.x address (these are also static LANS), able to get online ping IP's the whole works. The ports that need forwarding are doing so with no issues. I also have two registered domains fakedomaint.net and fakedomainp.ca I also have a primary name server glued by easydns.com using my static IP however after a new install nslookup cannot see it ns1.fakedomaint.net, however since easydns.com does secondary dns I'm able to load the page. I follow (no webalizer install) the steps located at falktotimme.com for the debian 3.1 setup. In the dir called admin I do the following. tar xvfz ISPConfig*.tar.gz cd install_ispconfig ./setup This part works great. I go through the certification process on the command line and in steps 7 & 8 I say no. I go through the "standard" setup saying yes to postfix and proftp. Please enter your MySQL server: localhost Please enter your MySQL user: etc etc .......then it goes to Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web: Do I add my WAN static IP from my provider or my router 192.168.1.x IP and if I make a mistake where do I change it?For the sake of this long question I put in my router assigned address 192.168.1.x, the same address I have in /etc/network/interfaces. (there is no second IP installed there) Please enter the host name (e.g. www):www Please enter the domain: fakedomaint.net I pick https and it says I have connected to MYSQL server, restarts postfix. I get the Congrats screen and it's ready for me to login to https://www.fakedomaint.net:81 I login change my password and am ready to "try" to make some sites. The actual tool is pretty fast I don't have to wait 30 to 60 seconds more like 5-10.
