Tom McFarlin released his Mayer WordPress theme on GitHub today. The theme was designed with writers, bloggers, and authors in mind and was previously only available to WordPress.com users for $79.
Mayer is unique in that it was created to get users writing immediately, without having a bunch settings pages or additional widgets to configure. Content in the post editor is styled to match the front end, so users don't need to leave the editor in order to see how it's going to look.
Technically, the theme is already open source in terms of its licensing. However, up until this point, it was only distributed commercially via WordPress.com. McFarlin has written several posts about how he came to the decision to make his products freely available on GitHub. He cites collaboration and accountability as the driving factors in his decision:
"The advantage to this means that all of the work that the team and I have backlogged for this project (and for future projects) is publicly visible if for no other reason than for accountability," he said. "Ideally though, we'd be able to benefit from the open source community that comes in the form of code reviews, pull requests, or just general conversations to help make the core product better."
Free Products ≠ Free Support
Any theme or plugin author who decides to distribute a product for free will inevitably find the burden of support knocking at the door. It's important to specify how much support, if any, is included for users who are receiving a product for free.
"If the code itself falls under an open source license, then I'm willing to make the code freely available," McFarlin said. "This does not mean that I'm willing to support the code base for those who haven't paid, but that leads into an entirely different discussion."
McFarlin will continue to sell the Mayer theme through his Pressware shop. The $99/year price tag offers users professional support for a year.
"To be clear, I'm not attempting yet-another-way to monetize or popularize a theme in hopes of making money," McFarlin said. "The short of it is that the theme will sell given the right marketplace. If someone wants to freely use the theme, that's fine – why not? After all, it may result in some pull requests or other issues that will improve the core theme."
Based on his experience navigating user expectations from open source software, McFarlin believes that there is no escaping the issue of support.
"[pullquote]I think that if you're in the business of WordPress products (versus services), you're in the support business whether you intend to be or not.[/pullquote] Everything that you release – regardless of where the transaction actually happens – is going to yield support from some of the customers," he said.
"In order to gain access to said support, the transaction just moves back one step from after accessing the source code rather than before accessing the source code."
This model is almost entirely the opposite of the larger theme marketplaces, such as Themeforest, where the customer has no option to preview the code or have a developer preview the code before purchasing the product. It's essentially a blind purchase in hopes that you won't have to ask for too much support.
McFarlin is banking on the fact that users who need professional support will be willing to pay for it. Theme Hybrid is one notable shop that has pioneered this model for years, offering all of its open source products for free and charging for paid support. WordPress.com does something similar, with many of its free themes mirrored on WordPress.org. Pressware is moving in a similar direction and will be creating a products division to further experiment with the model. McFarlin plans to put more work up on GitHub in the future and will continue to write about his experience.
The vast majority of WordPress theme developers have not experimented with this distribution model. For the most part, theme shops sell their products and free versions, if offered, are only available with a limited set of features. McFarlin hopes to prove that in an open source marketplace, a business can successfully sell support for a product that it's already giving away for free.

You're a 19 year old kid.
You're critically wounded and dying in The jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam.
Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.
Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again.
As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then – over the machine gun noise – you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter.
You look up to see a Huey coming in. But . . . It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it.
Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway. Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come, he's coming anyway. The Huey drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety. Ed and his Huey kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out.
No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 men out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods and the bickering of congress over Health Reform.
Honor this real hero.

It's been widely reported that California got some much-needed rain recently. For those suffering through recurring ice storms, sleet and ice, polar vortexes, and biblical floods, that news may come as a kind of insult. But California's been getting its own share of misery, in the form of an epic drought now in its third year. Last year was the driest year on record in California.
By February 5, 63 percent of the state was withering under "extreme" drought conditions, reported USA Today. Towns have been running out of water, farmers and cattle ranchers are growing desperate, grape vines are dying, Sierra snowpack is a fraction of what it should be, and talk of desalination plants up and down the Golden State's coast is growing.
"The bottom line is that this storm is not going to end California's drought," Nancy Vogel, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Water Resources, told the San Francisco Chronicle during the brunt of the recent Pacific storm.
The year began with summery weather in Southern California, dry and sunny. A New York Times story on February 1 captured the flipside of that balmy climate while the rest of the nation froze in the grip of an Arctic freeze:
"The punishing drought that has swept California is now threatening the state's drinking water supply," The Times reported. "With no sign of rain, 17 rural communities providing water to 40,000 people are in danger of running out within 60 to 120 days."
B. Lynn Ingram, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at U.C. Berkeley, told The Times: "We are on track for having the worst drought in 500 years."
KPCC, Southern California Public Radio, recounted past California droughts, from 1987 to 1992 and from 2007 to 2009, but added that mega-droughts can last anywhere from several decades to a century — even longer. "We haven't seen that since the Middle Ages," Lynn Ingram, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at UC Berkeley told the station. Between 900 AD and 1400 AD, such mega-droughts were common in the region that is now California.
Scientists don't know just what causes these mega-droughts, and many forecast a rainier climate for California as the globe's average temperature continues to rise. That rain, however, is expected to evaporate more quickly as temperatures rise, and in any case more rain and less snow means valuable Sierra snowpack will be greatly diminished.
Humans Carry On 'Blithely' … But Then…
In a political commentary on February 6, the Los Angeles Times' David Horsey wrote that the ongoing drought in the West "is a reminder that civilized life is a paper-thin veneer that overlays the deep upheavals of nature. Humans carry on blithely, holding fast to the illusion that the natural world can be tamed and exploited with no unavoidable consequences. Then we get slammed by a hurricane, a flood, a tornado, a wildfire, a drought or a freezing polar vortex that lets us know how wrong we are.
"Yet, after each disaster, we forget again — which is the reason so few of us give any sustained attention to the climate change peril. It is similar to the way we think about death. We know it's coming, but we would drive ourselves crazy if we thought about it all the time. As a result, we revert to living in the moment or counting on promises of heaven.
"With climate change, either we suspect it is too late to do anything about it or we just deny it is real. And even the vast majority of climate scientists who know it is a real phenomenon are quick with the caveat that no single weather event can be attributed to climate change with complete certainty. Nevertheless, now that extreme weather is hammering us with increasingly regularity, it is hard to argue that a profound shift is not underway."
The connections between dry weather in the West and frigid wet weather in much of the rest of the U.S. were the subject of a feature February 7 on "Living on Earth," the weekly environmental news and information program distributed by Public Radio International.
"The drought situation in the West, in California, is linked with the very cold conditions in the East," NOAA research meteorologist Martin Hoerling told the show's host, Steve Curwood.
The weather pattern itself is not just a local pattern sitting off the west coast and affecting only California. As that high pressure has been anchored off the west coast, there's low pressure around the Hudson Bay region that has been diving southward bringing very cold air into the northeast. So these patterns have been linked. In 1976 and 1977-78, those were very cold winters in the US, they still rank among the coldest winters on record. And again, that was a linkage between the cold in the US in those years and the drought in California. And here we are again, it's a weather pattern that comes and goes from time to time, and we're back to a situation we saw about 38 years ago.
Drought Impacts Varied but Widespread
The ongoing drought is hammering California in several distinct ways. One is that many small rural towns are simply running out of water. Lompico near Santa Cruz is one. Lake of the Woods, north of Los Angeles, is another.
Those kinds of dire emergencies are fairly scattered, but the drought's effects on agriculture and cattle ranching are widespread, and price increases at supermarkets nationwide appear more and more likely.
"California's great Central Valley aquifer and the rivers that feed it, already losing water in the changing climate, are now being drained because of the drought, leaving water levels at their lowest in nearly a decade," the San Francisco Chronicle reported on February 8. "Water experts say many farmers who depend on the huge water source beneath the valley for irrigation will have to resort to pumping water from ever deeper levels at greater costs, even as they plant crops on fewer and fewer acres as more of their land is gobbled up for development."
As President Obama was visiting Fresno to help promote legislation offering California $300 million in aid, a New York Times story conveyed just how desperate things have become for farmers in the state's breadbasket, the Central Valley. With huge plots of farmland becoming idle, unemployment is growing. Unemployment rates in the region have skyrocketed to 45 percent during previous droughts — a figure many expect to see this year, The Times reported.
"It's as worse as I've ever seen it, I'll tell you that right now," Bill Chandler, who runs a nearly 500-acre farm, growing raisin grapes, peaches and almonds, told The Times. "People would like to think a few storms will solve our problems, but that's not even going to get us close," he said.
Meanwhile, California ranchers have missed out on record-high U.S. beef prices because they've been forced to cut their herds as pastures wither and buying hay is unsustainable financially. "Neighbors and friends in our part of the state are selling most or all of their cows because they don't have any other options," rancher Kevin Kester in Central California told Bloomberg. "Unfortunately, there will be way too many of them that end up going out of business permanently."
Ranchers in Nevada are facing similar stresses, Al Jazeera America reported February 8.
Mendocino County Wines, Joshua Trees, Salmon Facing Increased Risks
As farmers struggle, so too does California's $22 billion wine industry. But not just from a shortage of water. Wildfires have blanketed vineyards in Mendocino County with clouds of smoke, Bloomberg reported February 10.
One might not think a drought could also threaten desert plants, but the iconic Joshua Trees in Joshua Tree National Park are at risk too, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported February 2. "Some computer models predict the Joshua tree could disappear from much of the Mojave Desert, as average temperatures rise and droughts grow longer and more frequent," the Review-Journal reported.
Salmon also face trouble. "Central Valley river levels have dropped precipitously in the past months because of a record-breaking dry spell, destroying thousands of nests — or redds — containing fertilized Chinook salmon eggs laid by spawning fish last fall," reported the East Bay Express in Oakland on February 12.
Endangered coho salmon along the Central Coast also are struggling, the Christian Science Monitor reported February 11. "The California Coast coho salmon relies on the small creeks and streams flowing into the ocean along the coast for its life cycle," the Monitor reported. "With most of these outlets depleted and with sandbars growing at the river mouths because of lack of runoff from the snow packs in the mountains to the east, the tiny hatchlings cannot get to the ocean nor can the adults make their way back upstream to spawn."
The recent storm certainly has helped with the state's ski industry, but one storm won't make a season. Reporting from Mt. Shasta near the Oregon border, CNN Money reported on February 7: "Many small ski resorts in Northern California, Oregon, and Idaho that typically open in December are still closed. It's not only killing business on the slopes but also for the hotels, restaurants and bars that depend on tourists coming to town for winter activities."
Meanwhile, the drought has created unique challenges in the Sierra, the Fresno Bee reported February 8:
"The empty basin at Kings Canyon (south of Yosemite) is more evidence that the drought is stomping all over a wounded mountain range, parched for water after three years of drought," the Bee reported. "The Sierra has thousands of square miles of overgrown forests, a potentially catastrophic problem set in motion decades ago by an ill-informed government policy of snuffing all fires. The unnaturally thick forests are soaking in snow moisture from any new storms now, depriving reservoirs of runoff. Even with some good storms, the stage is set to fill the sky with wildfire smoke this summer."
Less Water = Less Hydropower
It's a simple equation. But California's punishing drought is drying up the state's ability to make electricity from water. "Few states rely on hydro as much as California, where water accounts for about 15 percent of the total power supply in a normal year," reported the Sacramento Bee on February 4. "We are certainly concerned," spokeswoman Stephanie McCorkle of the Independent System Operator, which runs the California transmission grid, told the Sacramento Bee. "We do not have a forecast for blackouts this summer as a result of the drought (but) it doesn't mean we're not keeping a close eye on it."
California is much less dependent on hydropower today than it had been in past decades, in part because power generation from solar energy has increased, Robert Weisenmiller, chairman of the California Energy Commission, told the San Jose Mercury News on February 11. Pacific Gas & Electric, for example, has a much more diverse portfolio today. The utility gets 11 percent of its electricity from large hydropower; the rest comes from renewable sources like solar and wind, nuclear and natural gas.
Wider Economic Implications
Beyond a few bright spots, including the state's more diverse energy portfolio and the mid-February rain and snow, the consequences of California's ongoing drought are expected to ripple across the nation, Bloomberg reported February 6. The price of California produce will likely go up, and agricultural losses in the state could weaken the national economy. How the American West manages and distributes water must also change as the region struggles with a drier climate.
"We are at that point [where] the risks for the future are really significant," Peter Gleick, president of the Oakland-based Pacific Institute, a nonpartisan research organization, told Bloomberg. "We have to fundamentally change the way we manage water."
"The drought is a stark reminder that California built the world's 10th-largest economy, the nation's top farming industry, and Silicon Valley, the epicenter of information technology, in a semi-arid environment that's struggling to sustain the water needs of 38 million people," the Bloomberg report said.
Kevin Starr, California state Librarian Emeritus, a University of Southern California historian, and the author of a multi-volume history of California titled Americans and the California Dream, summed up the difficult future California faces in a drier, warmer region:
"They invented California through water engineering — which is great as long as you have water to engineer," he told Bloomberg. "The greater Palm Springs area has over 700,000 people in it and what did Mother Nature intend? Probably 7,000."

"I have experienced a really long career in this area, and my worry meter has never been this high. We are talking historical drought conditions, no supplies of water in many parts of the state. My industry's job is to try to make sure that these kind of things never happen. And they are happening." — Tim Quinn, executive director of the Association of California Water Agencies, a statewide coalition. (The New York Times, Feb. 1)
"The whole state is in crisis mode … but there will be serious pockets of pain." — Timothy Quinn, executive director of the Association of California Water Agencies. (USA Today, Feb. 5)
"The combination of climate change, growth and groundwater depletion spells a train wreck." — James Famiglietti a water resource expert and director of the UC Center for Hydrologic Modeling at UC Irvine. (San Francisco Chronicle, Feb. 8)
"I don't want to jump to conclusions. There's still 40 percent of the wet season left and we're seeing some good signs of a change in the weather pattern. But it is pretty grim at this point." — Maury Roos, California's Chief Hydrologist (The Fresno Bee, Feb. 8)

"This is a real idling of land, and there is nothing positive about it. It's not fallowing — that implies a choice. This is not like North Dakota, where we know it's going to get better. We're talking either spending huge sums on bringing water in or thousands of acres lost." — Daniel A. Sumner, an agriculture economist and the director of the Agricultural Issues center at the University of California, Davis. (The New York Times, Feb. 14)

Penlapee and me wanna talk to you today because we have something we want, and we don't always get it.
We have this Human Brother. Mom calls him Favorite Young Man. It's okay if Mom goes outside with us during the day when we potty, but before we go to bed at night, we want Human Brother to take us out. Sometimes he's not here at bedtime. Sometimes he's asleep. He should be here for us every night.
Mom doesn't understand about us wanting Human Brother. She says there's no reason we can't go out with her.
Here's why we want Human Brother:
Penelope––I am so sick of Franklin spelling my name wrong that I could spit. Human Brother knows that my name is Penelope and not Penlapee, and he's not afraid to tell Franklin that he's wrong. Mom Mom laughs when Franklin calls me Penlapee. I'm sick of it. Sick, I tell you. Human Brother is at work during the day, but sometimes he's here at night. I wish to take advantage of that time frame; therefore, he should be here every night.
Franklin––Human Brother is tall. He is so tall. He can see over all the fences so he will warn us if monsters come out of the dark.
Penelope––Human Brother is very nice to me. He pays attention to me all the time when he's at our house, unlike Mom Mom who goes off to get sloshed on margaritas.
Franklin––Human Brother is kind of stinky. He takes showers, but he gets stinky again right away. I love the way he stinks. I could sniff his butt forever.
Penelope––Human Brother is strong. He's the strongest person I've ever seen. He is strong enough to take care of us if something scary happens out in the dark while Mom Mom is sloshed on margaritas.
Franklin––Last year we had a hurricane named Matthew, who is Fishducky's son. Matthew made the wind blow hard. Matthew made the rain fall for hours. Human Brother stayed with us the whole time that Fishducky's son was here. Human Brother protected us from Matthew.
Penelope––Mom Mom is drunk all the time. We are safe with Human Brother.
It's up to me, Franklin the Bordernese, to finish up here. I think you understand now why we want Human Brother when it's dark and scary outside. But that stuff Penlapee says about Mom, who is not named Mom Mom, being drunk? It's not true. And my sister's name really is Penlapee. Okay I love you bye bye.
I'm not letting that dog have the last word. It is I, Penelope. That is all.

Oh, what a pair! Easy to tell who's the intellectual in that duo, eh? Can I come over and drink margaritas too?ReplyDeleteReplies
Of course you can, but I don't think you'll like the heat and the humidity.Delete
Too funny! I loved the story of Franklin and Penlapee. My brother still gives me grief over my first name "Myrtle," so I can sympathize with Penelope! I like margaritas too, Mom!ReplyDelete

These Meatballs in Marina Sauce are full of flavor, addictively delicious, and easy to make. You will never want another meatball or marinara sauce recipe.
Last weekend was my mother-in-law's birthday, and my parents were in town, so my husband and I wanted to cook dinner for everyone. There was a large group of people, including kids, so we decided lasagna was a safe bet. My mom helped me prepare a large recipe of my Sausage and Beef Lasagna, which was quite a hit!
Anti Cheese
I don't eat much cheese, so I wanted to have a lasagna alternative for myself and anyone else who wanted something different. I decided to make spaghetti with meatballs in marinara sauce. Somewhere in the recesses of my memory, I remembered that my mom used to have a good meatball recipe. I asked her about it, and she wasn't really sure what I was talking about. Luckily, I found where I had written her recipe down about 15 years ago.
I used my mom's recipe as a base for my meatballs. I soaked Italian breadcrumbs in milk, mixed them with the beef and sausage I had leftover from the lasagna, as well as an egg and some spices. Then, I browned them in the oven. They turned out DELICIOUS.
Next, I made a marinara sauce using Emily's Baked Ziti sauce as the inspiration. I used several different types of canned tomatoes, and spiced it up until I was happy. Next, I added in the meatballs and let them simmer with the sauce. Honestly, it felt like a thrown together sauce. I almost didn't write down what I did, but thank goodness I did, because y'all, it was amazing.
Almost every person in my family commented on the delicious taste of the meatballs and sauce. Initially I hadn't taken photos, as I wasn't expecting it to be ready for posting – but fortunately I had enough leftover to make myself a big ole' plate that I could photograph and then eat for lunch the next day!
Meatballs in Marinara Sauce
I wish instead of showing you pictures that you could just reach through the computer and have a taste. But since that doesn't work, you'll just have to make them yourself! Here are a few tips and thoughts for these Meatballs in Marinara Sauce:
- Make sure to use the combination of mild breakfast sausage and ground beef. They both contribute the the meatballs' delicious flavor.
- Do not use plain breadcrumbs; you'll miss out on some flavor. I prefer standard Italian breadcrumbs, but have used Panko Italian, which yields a similar taste.
- Let the sauce simmer for an hour before serving. The time helps the flavors to develop.
- You can serve this over any type of pasta or on sandwiches. Heck, you can eat the meatballs on toothpicks as a snack or appetizer.
- I know a lot of people are anti-sugar. However, it gives the sauce a subtle sweetness that is addictively good. Just do it.
Meatballs in Marinara Sauce
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs beaten
- ¾ pound mild breakfast sausage
- ¾ pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon salt

Rangers Ride GAS Line To Fifth Straight Win
The New York Rangers extended their winning streak to five with a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night. Marian Gaborik had two goals, Derek Stepan had a goal and two assists, and Anisimov was credited for two assists. While Gaborik and Stepan will draw most of the headlines it was Anisimov who was the critical piece to all three goals the line generated.
The Senators took the lead 8:39 into the second period Milan Michalek converted on a 3-on-2 with a beautiful shot over Lundqvist shoulder. The Rangers responded with the tying goal just 42 seconds later when Stepan found Gaborik for the practically open net. Michael Sauer started the play with a strong play in the neutral zone and then Artem Anisimov's hustle on the forecheck caused a turnover by Sergei Gonchar to Stepan.
Stepan would give the Rangers the lead 2:17 later when his pressure on David Runblad led to a chance for Anisimov. After Anderson stopped Anisimov, Stepan slid the loose puck in on the backhand.
Gaborik picked up his second of the game 8:30 into the third with a beautiful shot over Anderson's shoulder. Once again it was Anisimov making the smart play defensively that ultimately created the offensive chance. The goal gave the Rangers a cushion they would need as Nick Foligno scored to cut it to 3-2 with 10:12 left.
- Overall the Rangers were outplayed, but when you have a line going like the top line was tonight, and has been, you can steal these types of games.

Photo: Tortorella Imagining What Wolski's Rehab Might Look Like (Tub Included)
Wojtek Wolski has been unable to stay in the New York Rangers this season with recurring injuries to his groin. On Monday it was announced Wolski is going to undergo surgery to repair a sports hernia. Given coach John Tortorella's recent jab at Wolski "We can't get him out of the tub," Elissa tried to get into the mind of coach Tortorella to see what comes to mind when he imagines Wolski rehabbing after surgery.
No word yet on whether Tortorella is requesting Wolski make room in the tub for Mike Rupp to able to rehab his surgically repaired knee.

Rangers' Rupp Out 4-6 Weeks Following Knee Surgery
Mike Rupp underwent successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus today. According to Andrew Gross, Rupp is expected to be out 4-6 weeks. Hopefully when Rupp returns he will be able to show why the Rangers gave him the three-year, $4.5 mil contract this summer. Andre Deveaux has done an excellent job filling in thus far and will continue to get his chance while Rupp works his way back.

Boyle Line Looking For More Production To Continue Rangers Winning Ways
The New York Rangers have things going in the right direction with a current four game winning streak and sitting at an impressive 7-3-3 after 13 games. There is much to be excited about as Marian Gaborik has returned to form, Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh are carrying the defensive load admirably in the absence of Marc Staal and Brad Richards seems to have found comfort with Callahan and Dubinsky. One spot that could use improvement is the Rangers third line of Brian Boyle, Ruslan Fedotenko and Brandon Prust.
Last season this line was one of the biggest bright spots for the organization, but the production level and impact of the group has not been nearly the same early this season. As Andrew Gross reports in The Record the trip knows they need to bring more for the Rangers to keep up the early success in the standings.
"The last game, we were better," Boyle said as the trio combined for six shots, including three by Prust. "But it's frustrating, though. We know how good we can be. It's a little mental, we need to start thinking a little more positive. We want to produce more. I want to produce more. It's not easy. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves.""I think we still have some work to do in getting back to the things that were successful last year – getting the puck in deep, getting in on the forecheck and bringing the puck to the net for opportunities," Prust said. "We've proved we can play together, it's not that we can't play together anymore."
The Rangers do need more from the line as a group in terms of offensive production as they combined for 44 goals and 45 assists last season and only have four goals and nine assists in 13 games this year. However, more important than production on the scoreboard is the energy and mentality this line brings to the team. When they are working the forecheck as they are capable it brings a different mindset to the team and the whole unit gets more pressure on the opposition. They are slowly getting back to that and when they fully get there the offense will come. For now the Rangers are getting the production from their primary players and the longer that continues, the focus and pressure on the third line to produce with remain low.

David Loffredo spent 17 years in Westport. He lives at Fairfield Beach now, but remains an avid "06880" reader.
Yesterday — during the wind and rain — he spotted a large turtle, wounded and in distress.
His wife Megan called around: Earthplace, the Maritime Aquarium, Mystic Aquarium, Fairfield Animal Control, a veterinarian.
Mystic asked Animal Control to take a look. By now it was dark. The officer said it was a loggerhead, probably 10 to 12 years old — the 3rd to wash up there in the past 2 years.
The officer thought she was dead. If so, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection would be back to bury her right there.
At 10 p.m., — with the tide rising — a crew from Mystic Aquarium's Animal Rescue Unit arrived.
They determined the turtle was quite healthy, though perhaps disoriented in the storm.
They took her, and warmed her up. They will put her on a flight to Georgia or South Carolina.
Loffredo knows the turtle team in Charleston. They'll call Mystic today, and see if they can take the rescued animal.
Sergeant Mike Paris stood watch during the transfer. He spoke with Loffredo about the challenges of this year. A 15-year veteran of the force and the son of a Bridgeport police officer, he's been in the thick of COVID and the summer of protests.
"2020 has not been great," Loffredo says. "But in a year that's taken so much, it's nice to give something back."

Swiss singer Sophie Hunger: former jazz 'fascist'
Published on
Translation by:Cafebabel ENG (NS)
It's promo promo promo in Paris for the folk singer-songwriter, who's finishing up a tour of Europe via Glastonbury to shows in the Czech Republic and Austria. The mellow 27-year-old from Zurich is on the French festival circuit to continue the escape from the 'sad' studio
Sophie Hungerpicked up the guitar aged nineteen. It didn't take long before it bore fruit, with a debut album produced in her living room (Sketches On Sea, 2006), a smattering of jazz festivals and her first studio album Monday's Ghost in late 2008. Born in Bern, she speaks and sings in Swiss German, German, French and English. In concert, she switches from one to the other effortlessly, even having a tentative at Spanish. Both of her consequent albums, Monday's Ghost and the latest release 1983, are predominantly in English with a little French and German here and there. You almost want to hear more Hunger in German because her voice becomes richer and more familiar, such as in the album 1983, which she calls 'a conversation between the year I was born and myself.'
Hunger for German
Hunger, who grew up in London and Bonn, confirms that German is a language of intimacy for her. 'English goes further, it allows you more freedom and levity,' she explains. 'I know German really well because I read a lot of books and I know the possibilities it has to offer. That makes it more difficult to create something. It's important for me to sing in German because there's much less musical tradition in English. It forces me to search with my voice.' Today, we're speaking in French, a language which she isn't completely fluent in. When she gets stuck, she resorts to English. For example, we talk about her initial fear at playing an instrument, intimidated when listening to the great names in jazz: 'I thought too much. I was a fascist in my head...It led into nowhere.' Or when she's talking about how her second album corresponded much more to her than the first: 'I felt I was looking up.' ...Sophie Hunger knows how to be obscure, at least to my French ears.
Hunger prefers to focus on the bigger picture. 'Artists preserve humanity. They have the task of talking about things away from politics.' She is definitely more at ease when she's discussing other people; the Danish group Kashmir who she saw recently caught in concert, or a memorised quote from Eminem. Curiosity and passion drive her in the role she plays the best, being a music mediator. It's irrelevant whether its about her own or others. It's an effort for Hunger to speak at length about herself: when she does, it's controlled.
Still to grow
It's such a difference from Hunger's onstage presence, when she is so intimate with her public! Sophie Hunger becomes accessible without losing her musical diversity. She switches to singing folk in English, holds her own with her guitar, changes to piano and then brings out a trumpet for a song in German, as all the other voices melt into a choir behind her. At the encore, the group inch closer until they're sitting on the edge of the stage, producing one of the most beautiful moments of the concert. This is at La Cigale, a venue in Paris, in June 2010. Just a year prior to that, when she stepped out to perform in a more intimate venue at the Montmartre venue La Boule Noire, Hunger was just beginning to be known in France. She already had a shot at something different. Her cover version of rock classic Vent l'emportera (from French band Noir Désir) came out in in hesitant French for a yet-to-be-convinced audience. At Glastonbury, she allegedly went on the John Peel stage and announced her group as being 'probably the least-known band at the festival.'
In any case, you can read it all about this five-piece, Hunger-fronted band – they are jazz, folk or even rock for the more audacious. Hunger tolerates the need to be boxed in a category, but attempts a description of her ways: 'If I eat fruit, I'll give it to a friend of mine who doesn't know it, and I'll say – it's like a banana but there's a bit of orange in there, but it's another fruit. I understand that, but for me it's just rubbish. I hope that I can be my own fruit.' She smiles without shyness – two successful years might just have put her more at ease offstage.
'I hope that I can be my own fruit'
There's so much I still want to ask as the interview nears to an end: about British and Canadian singers Piers Faccini and Patrick Watson with whom she collaborated at France's Eurockéennes rock festival in Belfort, her Bob Dylan covers and the world cup. Although as she leaves the cafe I watch Sophie stop in front of a screen to catch the Chile-Switzerland match. A mere three seconds, before she continues on her way.

text: A very low dose of the FDA-approved drug naltrexone has been discovered to be an effective up-regulator of the immune system. The new therapy, called low dose naltrexone (LDN), has shown remarkable effects on an array of illnesses including HIV/AIDS, cancer, and autoimmune diseases such as MS. The first conference concerning LDN will be held on June 11th at the New York Academy of Sciences in Manhattan. Recent clinical trials of LDN will be discussed. New York, NY (PRWEB) April 18, 2005 -- The drug naltrexone, which in a 50 mg dose was approved by the FDA many years ago for drug abuse and for alcoholism, in less than one-tenth that dosage boosts the immune system and thus helps fight any disease that is characterized by inadequate immune function. Investigators mounting successful clinical trials, along with physicians and patients utilizing low dose naltrexone (LDN), will make panel presentations on June 11th at a conference to be held at the New York Academy of Sciences. The keynote speaker will be Bernard Bihari, MD, a Manhattan physician and the discoverer of the clinical effects of LDN. This discovery establishes a new paradigm in medical therapy: LDN not only tends to normalize the immune system by elevating the body's endorphin levels but also accomplishes its results with virtually no side effects or toxicity. Two pilot studies have recently been completed, one for Crohn's disease and one for multiple sclerosis (MS), and the principal investigators, respectively from Hershey Medical Center at Penn State and from Dr. Evers Clinic, a hospital for neurological disease in Germany, will be present. The promise of LDN is significant because: (a) it can halt diseases (e.g., MS and other autoimmune diseases, HIV, and many cancers) where there are no effective treatment options; (b) it provides successful treatment while being virtually free of side effects or toxicity; and (c) were it produced in a developing country, this generic drug would offer an extremely inexpensive ($10 per year) HIV treatment, one that does not require close supervision by health professionals-the patient need only take one small capsule each night at bedtime. The conference will be held on June 11, 2005 from 9am to 4pm at the New York Academy of Sciences, located at 2 East 63rd Street, between Fifth and Madison Avenues in Manhattan. For additional information, comprehensive details regarding LDN are provided at http://www.ldninfo.org. The website http://www.remedyfind.com includes independent ratings of LDN by people with MS, who rank it far higher than any other MS medical treatment; and http://ldners.org/surveys.htm displays results of surveys of hundreds of people with MS, who are reporting striking reductions in disease progression as well as marked functional improvement on LDN alone. Contact Information: David Gluck, MD 212-734-5109 http://www.ldninfo.org N.B.: Interested media representatives should register to attend this conference as soon as possible in order to assure a reserved seat.

DIY Photo Ornaments {a Simple & Fun Gift}
If you want to spoil someone you love with a DIY gift, giving them a custom photo ornament is going to be your new fave thing! These little cubes of joy have just the right amount of hand made flair…. but also pack a swanky aesthetic punch! In simple terms: DIY photo blocks have both form and function!
For this simple and fun photo ornament tutorial, I reached out to my client, K.C. Crow, and asked her to share some of her favorite tips and tricks for creating these woodblock ornaments! She teaches her clients to make these ornaments {her full tutorial is on her site} and says they're both super easy to make and really inexpensive as well! Win-win!
Now a little word before we get started: don't put these Christmas ornaments definitely aren't limited to just holiday time. She's seen clients make alphabet ornaments {coordinated with a baby's nursery colors}, name ornaments for room decor, and other cute decorations during other holidays around the year!
Alright, I'm going to pass this off to K.C. and let her share her best tips and tricks for making these photo block ornaments a success!
Choosing Backgrounds for Your DIY Photo Ornaments…
To start, determine what you are going to use for decorative papers. You can choose your paper based upon your experience and comfort level with digital art and creation! No matter what you choose, keep in mind that you will need six squares per block {four sides, a top and a bottom}.
Simple Backgrounds
Use wrapping paper or scrapbook paper for your ornament. Be mindful of super "busy" patterns and stay away from really thin papers. K.C. says that she found it worked well to have all sides of the ornament printed out on one piece of the same paper {instead of cutting them out individually}.
Photo Ornament Backgrounds for People Comfortable with Computers
Considering downloaded a free trial of PicMonkey and used their holiday backgrounds but I personally found it to be a bit of a learning curve to use. If you go this route, select "Collage" from the top bar, and then "Square Deal" for the layout. I recommend the template that has a grid of 3 x 3 squares. They will print a little bigger than your 2"x 2" needs so make sure you have space to crop down when you trim them. If you use the grid of squares that has 4″ x 4″, they print a bit too small for your blocks.
Once you have your layout selected, you can easily drag and drop from swatches, upload your images and add text to each square.
Advanced Background Creation for Your DIY Photo Blocks
If you're more comfortable using Photoshop, you may use digital patterns and illustrations purchased from a site, such as Creative Market. There are TONS of options here, just search for something like "holiday patterns" and you'll see what I mean. There are literally endless possibilities for customizing your DIY photo ornament.
Once you have the "paper" portions of your ornament determined and printed, trim them down to fit your block. A paper trimmer makes this super easy but there is no reason why using simple scissors wouldn't work as well!
Assemble Your DIY Photo Ornaments
Now comes the fun part of creating these custom photo blocks! Using a sponge brush, coat one side your block with a generous amount of Mod Podge. Cyrissa prefers the sparkly Mod Podge, but you can choose whichever kind makes your heart happy!
Place one of your sides onto the coated area and press down to remove the ripples and wrinkles from your paper. Put a very light coat of the Mod Podge over the top of the paper square. I use a second larger sponge brush to brush off the excess goop. Repeat this process around the other three sides of the block and then complete the bottom. Let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
If you have a Cricut or similar paper cutter system, you could add some fun layered paper designs on your block either over a papered background or straight onto the wood. The possibilities are endless – use your imagination!
Put the Finishing Touches on Your Custom Photo blocks
Draw an "x" from corner to corner on the top of your block. The place where the lines intersect will give you the center of the block. This is where you'll screw in your hanging loop. You should be able to easily screw it in by hand but try not to over screw it so that the wood at the top of the cube doesn't warp. Once it is is in, make a straight cut to the center of the square you were saving for the top of the ornament. Coat the top of the ornament with Mod Podge and slide the paper on past the screw finishing up with a final coat of Mod Podge. Let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
Once everything is dry, add a cute ribbon for hanging on the tree!
Now go make your own DIY Photo Ornaments!
Then come right back here and tell us all about it! Did you find a trick or hack that made the process easier?! Share details in the comments! Can you think of a create way to display these, beyond the Christmas tree! We wanna know! Pin this on Pinterest for easy reference later, then use the comments {below} to help make this tutorial even more helpful for others!

At the NPF on the 19th July, Ed Miliband announced that Labour will develop and launch a 'Non-Urban' Manifesto for the 2015 General Election. This presents Labour with a tremendous opportunity to lay out a progressive vision of a non-urban Britain that is prosperous, fair and vibrant. As such, this manifesto must focus on youth.
Up and down the UK, there is an exodus of young people in rural and coastal areas, who – starved of opportunities, services and employment – do what they can to move to the city. Those that are unable to escape often find themselves stuck in low pay or underemployment and priced out of the local housing market. As a result, numerous non-urban communities are facing an unsustainable future as the local demography becomes ever older and young people either leave or stagnate.
This situation can only be reversed if a Labour government utilises a broad strategy. Low pay and underemployment are serious problems in rural and coastal regions, especially for young people. To some extent, this is due to the difficulties facing rural and coastal SME's, which provide the bulk of jobs in these areas. The ability to create these enterprises and for them to grow strong enough to provide a living wage and full-time employment is connected to the quality of life within each community: a business in an area that lacks for shops, pubs, post offices, affordable accommodation, health services, schools and training, broadband and connectivity to other areas incurs greater costs, struggles to attract customers and finds it harder to employ well-trained young people.
There is a clear need for significant amounts of new housing in rural and coastal regions, particularly to allow young people to stay in areas close to their families. Labour has already pledged a massive house-building programme. Whilst any building in non-urban areas must consider the greenbelt, community character and social infrastructure, new housing aimed at young people and families (ie. affordable, rental and social accommodation) has the potential to contribute to communities by providing additional users for facilities such as schools, village shops, community facilities and bus services, rendering them more sustainable.
Non-Urban transport is a significant issue. Full-time employment or training opportunities, often located in larger local towns or even as far afield as a provincial city, often requires work at times not covered by public transport. This situation is even worse among certain non-urban industries, such as agriculture and horticulture, which are naturally situated in the most isolated places. For these industries, young people who are unable to reach the place of work are difficult to employ, even on a temporary contract. And so, a Labour government needs to allow greater local flexibility and funding for local government to make public transport serve the public.
By boosting services, accessibility, local businesses and housing, Labour can make non-urban areas places of opportunity and potential for young people – allowing them to stay in their communities if they want to and in turn enabling these communities to prosper and flourish.

Allegra-Monaco 2º Semi Final Set: A Nice Match
No doubt this Eilat Champions Cup brought together many of the best pairs of the European bridge. This year Italy for being the previous year champion has two teams competing, the two of them are playing different semi-finals. Particularly on one of those semifinals was very attractive VG available for the BBO kibitzers, in one of the teams was playing Fantoni-Nunes and in the other team Bocchi-Madala.
It is public knowledge that three years ago MT Lavazza, currently the coach of the Italian Open Team Captain, for the European Championship replaced Fantoni-Nunes by Bocchi-Madala. Since then much water has passed under the bridge. Fantunes currently plays for Monaco and Bocchi-Madala for Italy.
Today in the second set of the semifinal Fantoni-Nunes were playing in N / S and Bocchi-Madala also played in N / S so BBO kibs could watch live what each partnership made with the same 16 boards.
The first swing was the first board of the match. Bocchi redeclared his suit at the 3 level, while Fantoni did the same at the 2-level. The cards were placed in such position that there were only 8 tricks, the board cost 4 IMPs to team Allegra.
The next 3 boards were 8 IMPs for Allegra. In the board 23 both tables declared 4 and both declarers went 2 down. In a table Agustin Madala doubled the final contract while Nunes passed. Another 7 IMPs to Allegra. Next board was 10 IMPs to Monaco and the following 3 boards produced only one IMP to Monaco.
In board 28 Multon-Zimmermann played a club partscore and scored +150. At the other table Duboin-Sementa declared game in clubs, with one down, 5 IMPs to Monaco. In the next hand-Zimmermann- Multon chose to play game in spades and was one down, Duboin Sementa made played 3NT, 12 IMPs to Allegra.

What do you enjoy doing these days, in your free time?
Just spending time with my family and my girlfriend.
What made you want to be a Cosmo Centerfold?
To be honest I thought about being a Centerfold before because my brother was one a few years ago (2009), and I actually went to the event with him. It was very cool.
What part of your body are you proudest of and like to flaunt the most?
I'm proud to flaunt my abs. I think my face is okay as well, but my abs--because I've worked hard to become really fit to play soccer and I feel that is the part I really benefit from. It's like your core, your structure, your center.
Aside from your abs, what other part of your body do you consider the sexiest?
I've heard my eyes are my sexiest part of me, because, to be honest, it's rare that I show my body except when it's really hot, when I'm playing soccer. Yes, I'm really proud of my eyes. And I think, myself as a person, I find sexy. That may sound cheesy but I'm being honest.
What do you love about women in general?
To be honest--I'll take my girlfriend for example: I just love girls when they're confident, really. That's a hard question because girls are all different. I like girls, but I especially love my girlfriend.
How do you demonstrate affection?
I'd always compliment her. I'd always try and spoil her. I'm a guy who gets happy from spoiling my girlfriend.
Name three things that make a girl sexy for you?
Confidence, beauty, and [a girl who's] just being herself, really. I don't like girls who try to be someone else for people.
What three things turn you off?
Okay, you'll laugh at this one: girls who eat potato chips--not a fan of it. I don't mind you eating it, just not in front of me. I just have a dislike for them. Also, [girls who wear] too much makeup, and girls who are full of themselves.
What flirting tips can you share with our readers?
Be straightforward, be confident, but not overconfident. Just have a go with it. Don't be afraid to fall.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done while traveling?
I'm not too crazy--I'm being honest--I'm one of the careful guys. But I like to play pranks on people! Even though I'm a quiet one, I like to play pranks on my friends, and they won't suspect it's me...but it is really me.
What's your favorite destination?
Anywhere in the Philippines, especially the beaches here. I love it; it's not too far to go to a beach--any beach destination in the Philippines. I love the Philippines, that's why I moved here.
How do you and your girl like to relax?
I don't like too much work. I like to relax on the beach, play soccer, just eat and drink as much as we can.
How does your girlfriend show you her support?
She gives me massages. She makes me really comfortable. When I'm with her my stress goes away, I'm very at peace, and I have no worries.

Inspired and tempted by this delicious countdown, Here be my personal Top 101 Slasher movies that really stood out the most!
Note: These are in no particular order (save the last ten) and they're all personal picks, so, nope. Your faves or your order does not matter here! Muahahaha!...ha!
70. A Bay of Blood (Italy, 1971)
One of the more notorious entries to the giallo sub-genre doubling as a twisty take on a proto-slasher, complete with overly gruesome killing and random teenagers tossed in for a heightened count as a group of money-grabbers have their bloodlust awakened when a large sum of land is suddenly up for grabs!
Bloody Best Bits: I could go with the crowd and say that the scene involving a skewered couple would be my fave scene, but I'm actually gonna go with the opening scene here. You can't beat the twist of of having the a murderer killed moments later after he'd done the dirty deed!
69. TAG: The Assassination Game (1982)
The very slasher film that proves my point that it's not always about the weapon that makes a slasher film but rather it is format! In a campus where assassinating someone with a toy gun is the latest craze, one obsessed participant gets too much into the game and begins shooting people dead for real after refusing defeat.
Bloody Best Bits: A really intense moment where our gunner sneaks behind the bleachers to kill off a target during broad daylight, in front of a small crowd!
68. Jason X (2001)
I still don't understand why the lukewarm approach to this? Maybe in par with Jason Takes Manhattan in terms of cheesiness, Jason X still drove a powerful adrenaline when it comes to futuristic mayhem. After being cryogenically encased for decades, time may have changed but the old slaughtering ways still prove to be as dangerous as Jason wakes up homicidal inside a research ship in deep space.
Bloody Best Bits: Jason goes hand-to-hand against with a cyborg babe, leading to his momentary death and his revival: As an Upgraded Cyborg!
67. Pumpkinhead (1988)
It may have a 7 foot tall monster but Pumpkinhead used enough of our clichés and backdrops to be included and considered a slasher! After his beloved son dies from an accident, a grieving father makes a deal with a witch and summons a powerful demon to sic vengeance at those responsible.
Bloody Best Bits: That tear-jerking performance by Lance Henriksen as his character cradles and washes his dead son's body. (I blame the beautiful score that went on during this, too!)
66. Chopping Mall (1986)
When a trio of new-age security robots (for its time) malfunction due to a freak lightning storm, it spells nothing but bad news for eight couples who decided to stay in after mall hours as these killbots are packing heat! Best served with a bowl of freshly popped popcorn smothered in cheese sauce!
Bloody Best Bits: A classic kill: chick's head got blown up by a laser.
65. Evil Dead Trap (Japan, 1988)
A late 80s slasher entry from the Land of the Rising Sun, a small group of co-workers from a TV Station decides to play detective and solve a mystery involving a snuff tape delivered to them one night. What they find in the murder scene, however, was far more dangerous than they imagined.
Bloody Best Bits: The tape itself is rather disturbing to watch. Then there's the impaling scene that looks awfully well-done. (Japan and your ultra-violence! What will you think of next?)
64. All The Boys Love Mandy Lane
Invited to hang out on some boy's ranch over the weekend, Mandy Lane somehow lured in a psycho with a romantic obsession and will kill anybody that gets in his way. A sleepy little dead-teen flick that looks so refreshingly calm, it's almost eerie and uneasy.
Bloody Best Bits: A killer thinks resourcefully as he saves a single bullet by using his shotgun to mutilate a girl's mouth instead of shooting her. (Wait til' you hear how it sounds, too!)
63. Sorority Row (2009)
A supposed "re-imagining" of the cult classic "The House on Sorority Row", it's better off as a stand-alone movie just like Silent Night (2012). A group of girls starts to get killed off one by one by a cloak-wearing madman, apparently linking the spree to a murder the girls themselves committed and kept quiet about for some time.
Bloody Best Bits: A champagne bottle shoved down to a throat before the hapless victim got her neck punctured. Talk about overkill, mate!
62. House of Wax (2005)
Sure it's nothing subtle, but this in-name-only "remake" of a Vincent Price classic delivers all the gooey goods a slasher can offer! A group of teens en-route to a football game painfully discovers a small town's secret, as mad killers with a talent for making life-like wax figures begins to add them to their collection of macabre masterpieces.
Bloody Best Bits: Oh, where to start? The entire "waxing scene" was dreadfully fun. Then there's Paris Hilton getting a rusty pipe through her head. More of the latter actually...
61. Gutterballs (2008)
A cult fave of the trashiest kind. When a pantyless bowler gets raped in a disco-themed bowling joint, the following night spells bloody vengeance to those responsible and those who just happens to be around, when a bowling-bag wearing maniac starts to pick them off in various bowling-themed murders. Not for the weak of stomach, ideologically sensitive and lovers of bowling!
Bloody Best Bits: I hate rapists. So imagine my glee when one of them gets anally raped with a sharpened bowling pin!

In order for membership dues to be deductible, you must own a business, the membership dues must be paid to a professional, business or civic organization AND the organization's main purpose is NOT to provide entertainment to their members. The types of organizations that that qualify are: bar, medical and other professional organizations, trade associations, local chambers of commerce, real estate boards and business leagues, civic or public organizations such as the Rotary or Lions Club.
Even though Women on Course lifestyle events include golf, wine and travel with some networking or educational opportunities for business owners – it would need to be shown that the main purpose is business related. Success Series events which are business workshops would be considered acceptable as tax deductible.

Lighting Inspired by Prehistoric Ages
Retracing our steps through the millennia to the beginning of times, we find ourselves back at the fireplace in the prehistoric cave. Here we realise that the most primal of our needs are safety and warmth. The tree branch and the stone, found at the end of this journey back in time, are combined in this lighting object. Every stone is unique, and captures the emotion of eternity as well as being used as a functional counterweight. The branch arm of the Flintstone is movable, allowing the light to be adjusted and easily moved through space.

Regions: Copying regions
Once created, a region can be copied. This is very useful in a couple of situations:
- You want to apply a single tool to multiple areas of your photo that have the same shape, for example to blur similarly sized blemishes.
- You want to apply multiple tools to the same area of your photo, for example to increase both the contrast and sharpness of a person's eyes.
Additionally, when you paste a region into one tool that has been copied from another, you can paste it linked. If a linked region is moved or edited, all the regions it is linked to are likewise moved or edited.
To copy and paste a region:
- Select the region you want to copy by clicking it. (Its contour will change from a solid line to a dashed line.)
- Select Edit > Copy Region.
- Select the tool in the tool stack where you want to paste the region.
- Select Edit > Paste Region or Paste Region Linked.

Elephant Formulary
© 2003-17 Susan K. Mikota DVM and Donald C. Plumb, Pharm.D. Published by
Elephant Care International
Disclaimer: the information on this page is used entirely at the reader's discretion, and is made available on the express condition that no liability, expressed or implied, is accepted by the authors or publisher for the accuracy, content, or use thereof.
Cefazolin Sodium
Elephant specific information, if available, is in blue.
For general information on the cephalosporins including adverse effects, contraindications, overdosage, drug interactions, and monitoring parameters, refer to the monograph: Cephalosporins, General Information.
Chemistry – An injectable, semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic, cefazolin sodium occurs as a practically odorless or having a faint odor, white to off-white, crystalline powder or lyophilized solid. It is freely soluble in water and very slightly soluble in alcohol. Each gram of the injection contains 2 mEq of sodium. After reconstitution, the solution for injection has a pH of 4.5 – 6 and has a light yellow to yellow color. May also be known as cephazolin sodium in the U.K. and other countries.
Storage/Stability/Compatibility – Cefazolin sodium powder for injection and solutions for injection should be protected from light. The powder for injection should be stored at room temperature (15-30°C); avoid temperatures above 40°C. The frozen solution for injection should be stored at temperatures no higher than -20°C.
After reconstitution, the solution is stable for 24 hours when kept at room temperature and 96 hours if refrigerated. If after reconstitution, the solution is immediately frozen in the original container, the preparation is stable for at least 12 weeks when stored at -20°C.
The following drugs or solutions are reportedly compatible with cephapirin: Amino acids 4.25%/dextrose 25%, D5W in Ringer's, D5W in Lactated Ringer's, D5W in sodium chloride 0.2% – 0.9%, D5W, D10W, Ringer's Injection, Lactated Ringer's Injection, normal saline, metronidazole, verapamil HCl and vitamin B-complex.
The following drugs or solutions are reportedly incompatible or only compatible in specific situations with cefazolin: amikacin sulfate, amobarbital sodium, ascorbic acid injection, bleomycin sulfate, calcium chloride/gluconate, cimetidine HCl, erythromycin gluceptate, kanamycin sulfate, lidocaine HCl, oxytetracycline HCl, pentobarbital sodium, polymyxin B sulfate, tetracycline HCl and vitamin B-complex with C injection.
Compatibility is dependent upon factors such as pH, concentration, temperature and diluents used. It is suggested to consult specialized references for more specific information (e.g., Handbook on Injectable Drugs by Trissel; see bibliography).
Pharmacology/Spectrum of Activity – A first generation cephalosporin, cefazolin exhibits activity against the bacteria usually covered by this class. Because MIC's occasionally differ for cefazolin when compared to either cephalothin/cephapirin, some clinical microbiologists recommend also testing bacterial susceptibilities for this antibiotic. For more specific information, refer to the monograph, Cephalosporins, General Information.
Uses/Indications – In the United States, there are no cefazolin products approved for veterinary species, but it has been used clinically in several species when an short-acting injectable first generation cephalosporin is indicated.
Pharmacokinetics (specific) – Cefazolin is not appreciably absorbed after oral administration and must be given parenterally to achieve therapeutic serum levels. Absorbed drug is excreted unchanged by the kidneys into the urine. Elimination half-lives may be significantly prolonged in patients with severely diminished renal function. Pharmacokinetic parameters for dogs and horses follow:
In dogs, peak levels occur in about 30 minutes after IM administration. The apparent volume of distribution at steady state is 700 ml/kg, total body clearance of 10.4 ml/min/kg with a serum elimination half-life of 48 minutes. Approximately 64% of the clearance can be attributed to renal tubular secretion. The drug is approximately 16-28% bound to plasma proteins in dogs.
In horses, the apparent volume of distribution at steady state is 190 ml/kg, total body clearance of 5.51 ml/min/kg with a serum elimination half-life of 38 minutes when given IV and 84 minutes after IM injection (gluteal muscles). Cefazolin is about 4-8% bound to equine plasma proteins. Because of the significant tubular secretion of the drug, it would be expected that probenecid administration would alter the kinetics of cefazolin. One study performed in horses (Donecker, Sams, and Ashcroft 1986), did not show any effect, but the author's concluded that the dosage of probenecid may have been sub-therapeutic in this species.
In calves, the volume of distribution is 165 ml/kg, and had a terminal elimination half-life of 49-99 minutes after IM administration.
Doses –
For susceptible infections:
a) Respiratory tract: 11 mg/kg IV or IM q12h (Beech 1987a)
b) 11 mg/kg IV or IM qid (Robinson 1987)
c) Foals: 20 mg/kg IV q8-12h (Caprile and Short 1987)
Dosage Forms/Preparations/FDA Approval Status –
Veterinary-Approved Products: None
Human-Approved Products:
Cefazolin Sodium Powder for Injection 250 mg (of cefazolin), 500 mg, 1, 5, 10, & 20g; Ancef® (SKF); Kefzol® (Lilly); Zolicef® (Apothecon);Cefazolin Sodium® (Apothecon). (Rx)

M&A Nuggets: Indemnification – The Seller's Risk, The Buyer's Shield
A large part of any agreement for the purchase and sale of a business relates to indemnification. But what exactly does indemnification mean? In plain English, indemnification means that the seller is required to reimburse the purchaser for its monetary losses, including legal fees, sustained as a result of the seller's breach of the purchase agreement. While indemnity provisions are always present in a purchase agreement, the terms of the indemnity vary and are subject to much negotiation. The tension in the negotiation exists because of the conflicting desire of the purchaser to be compensated for a seller breach versus a seller's desire not to be on the hook to the purchaser for unlimited amounts and an unlimited period of time. The negotiations around the indemnity therefore fall into three categories. First, exactly what is the seller agreeing to indemnify the buyer for. Second, over what period of time can the purchaser seek indemnity from the seller. And third, what is the total amount the purchaser can recover from the seller. There are subcategories that are negotiated within each of these three categories. While industry norms have developed regarding the time period and total dollar amounts that a seller is responsible for under an indemnity, there are no black and white rules, and the indemnity provisions deservedly need much attention.
If you have any questions about this or any other M&A issue,
please contact Glenn Solomon at email@example.com or 443-738-1522.
