Deer panel suggestions
Really! Formation of a committee takes about a month! It should be evident by passed actions of the Town Council that large committees rarely get anything accom-plished. In this case perhaps it is their aim!
The deer problem is one to be solved immediately. I per-sonally know eight people who have been infected by Lyme Desease. It is no light matter to be ignored.
I, and most people I know, think deer are lovely creatures to observe - but only in their proper enviorment where there is a proper food supply for them - not in a suburb like Jamestown has become.
The quickest and surest way is to have the deer elimi-nated by seasoned hunters.

Opinions of former governor
In reference to former Governor Bruce Sundlun's interest in serving as our town administrator, I thought the community should know that on June 2, 2005, he wrote to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, FERC, advocat-ing in favor of the Weaver's Cove LNG Project and stated: "I encourage and urge an expatiated approval at the fed-eral, state, and local levels in favor of the Weaver's Cove Energy facility and its loca-tion".
As a resident of Jamestown and a parent, living within the hazardous thermal radiation zone that would occur in the event of a breach of the vessel from an accident or terrorist attack, I have to question the judgment of anyone in favor of having these 1,000-foot-long, 150-foot-wide LNG tankers transiting the 21 miles up Narragansett Bay, includ-ing some 11 miles alongside Jamestown 140 times a year (and under four bridges).
I urge that the town select someone who would better protect Jamestown's interests.
Christine Bernardo
Ideas for the Town Council I would like to make some suggestions to the Town Council. I don't know if this is the correct format to do so. Please pass this e-mail along to whoever would be able (and willing) to follow through with these ideas.
1. Jamestown residents should receive with their tax bills the following:
A. Sticker to transfer sta-tion.
B. Sticker to Mackerel Cove Beach.
C. Sticker to Ft. Getty.
For Jamestown residents to have to pay for access to their public beachs, Ft. Getty beaches and other areas at Ft. Getty is ridiculous. We are allowed access to Ft. Wetherill and Beavertail without pay-ment, why not every area on the island that is public?
The transfer station is another area that should be open to Jamestown residents without fee. The transfer sta-tion (dump) is listed as a pub-lic service in the local tele-phone directory.
2. Please ban straight pipe motorcycles on Narragansett Avenue. Even better, would be for all motorcycles to be banned from Narragansett Avenue.
The noise of these vehicles is contained because of the buildings on either side of the street and can be deafening to the people trying to enjoy eat-ing at a restaurant, visiting our stores, and those who actually live on Narragansett Avenue. Newport seems to be able to do this. Why can't Jamestown try and do it?
Thank you very much for considering taking action on the above.

Praise for town's response
The following letter was recently sent to Police Chief Thomas Tighe, currently act-ing town administrator, and copied to the Press:
On behalf of the board of directors and staff of the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (R.I.T.B.A.), I wish to convey my sincere gratitude to Jamestown's pub-lic safety officials and citizens during the power outage of Tuesday, July 19.
The town's police, fire, and medical service professionals must be commended for their performance and coordination with state and federal agencies during this event at a time when the R.I.T.B.A. had to coordinate security services in and around critical structures. Being updated on a timely basis by your police dispatch and patrol divisions was of critical importance to our agency.
As a former public safety director and town administra-tor, it was truly gratifying to see the coordination of private citizens, elected officials, and public employees to ensure the well-being and safety of each of the citizens of this great community.
Again, thank you for all your assistance. Your service as an interim administrator has been exemplary. The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority is proud to call Jamestown our home!
Kenneth M. Bianchi,
executive director
Thanks for JEMS efforts
On behalf of Jude Lyons who lives on Pemberton Avenue, we would like to thank the Jamestown Emer-gency Medical Services.
They are a dedicated group of people who when needed, answer the call with caring and competence. When Jude needed to be transported to his doctor in Providence, they responded quickly and profes-sionally. And when called again the next day, they were readily available to assist Jude again.
The members of the ambu-lance team treated Jude with dignity and respect and helped all of us feel more secure while he was in their hands.
We are truly lucky to live in a town with such dedicated professional volunteers.
Diane Forest, RN,
Lisa Rafferty and all Jude's friends

It has been a roller coaster of a year when it comes to Alachua County rainfall, with the area jumping from drought to summer deluges and back to drought-like conditions again.
It has been a roller coaster of a year when it comes to Alachua County rainfall, with the area jumping from drought to summer deluges and back to drought-like conditions again.
In the end, Gainesville received 54.4 inches of rain between Jan. 1 and Dec. 25. The annual average is 46.46 inches.
If it hadn't been for a rainy summer Gainesville would have experienced an epic drought in 2012. As it was, the year started with Orange Lake dropping to one of its lowest levels on record.
Summer rains saved the day, with 35.93 inches — two-thirds of the year's total — falling between May 1 and Aug. 31. In June alone, Gainesville received an all-time record of 16.34 inches.
During the other eight months combined — January through April, and September through most of December — Gainesville received only 18.43 inches, or five inches below normal during those months.
So far in 2012, the Gainsville area has maintained an eight-inch surplus, according to weather statistics.
Pete Wolf, the National Weather Service's chief science officer in Jacksonville, said the fall trend of below-average rainfall should continue into the first part of 2013.
The service's Climate Prediction Center is calling for rainfall to be slightly below normal through March. It is also calling for temperatures to be near normal, or slightly above, for those 90 days. That will be similar to the temperatures area residents experienced in 2012.
So far in 2012, Gainesville has featured an average daily temperature of 70.9 degrees, two degrees warmer than the annual average.
When it comes to fall 2012, which ran from Sept. 22 until Dec. 20, the daily average temperature was 66.6 degrees, or 1.5 degrees above normal. The average high temperature during the span was 78 degrees and the average low was 55.1.
During that same fall period, Gainesville recorded 6.03 inches of rain, which was just shy of the 7.64-inch average for those 90 days.
As the year comes to a close, the National Weather Service is calling for several chilly mornings today and Friday, followed by seasonable temperatures leading into the new year.
Average temperatures for this time of year are 66 degrees for the high and 45 for the low, official records state.
The county's official forecast is issued by the National Weather Service, while the Sun's weather page uses AccuWeather forecasts. Sometimes those predictions differ.

, which develops and manufactures engineering-grade 3D printing materials, launched its Polymaker Industrial product family Thomas Sabo Africa Charm Pendant 8lkFJ
this spring, the same week that advanced polymer developer Covestro introduced its newpolyurethane materials at RAPID 2017 . The two materials companies teamed up two years ago to co-createa new line of polycarbonate 3D printing filament, Pandora Women Yellow Gold Bangle 58713217 V2KH6fCyot
, designed for desktop 3D printers and based on Covestro's PC resins; PC-Max is one of the strongest engineering materials for desktop 3D printers.
The partnership between Covestro and Polymaker is expanding, as today the two companies are announcing the launch of their new advanced materials,U1000 and U0174D, for extrusion-based 3D printing.

"We are proud to announce two new materials to add to our portfolio under the ever-expanding Polymaker Industrial repertoire," Polymaker's Marketing Manager Luke Taylor told 3DPrint.com. "Both these new materials are made using Covestro'sTPU resin and have been modified by Polymaker for certain mechanical characteristics. Both materials are quite different from currently available TPU's on the market which we often associate with flexible materials. These new materials are much stiffer and therefore can print much easier and faster than flexible filaments while still displaying excellent toughness and layer adhesion."
The newhigh-performance plastic U1000 and U0174D 3D printing materials are both available in thePolymaker Industrial family, which offers strong, industrial-grade 3D printing materials for multiple industries, such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and general manufacturing.
"We are very pleased to work with Polymaker, a rising star in the 3D printing industry.Their commitment to innovation and quality matches the values of Covestro, and we look forward to doing more exciting projects together in the future," saidYvonne Wang, Business Development Manager for Additive Manufacturing at Covestro.

Jrue Holiday had 20 points and Thaddeus Young added 18 for the Sixers, who are 2-16 on the road since Jan. 2. Philadelphia used a 20-2 run that began late in the second quarter and extended into the third to take control of the game. Turner, who had three points at halftime, scored 13 in the first seven minutes of the third quarter.
C.J. Miles scored 19 points for Cleveland, which had lost six in a row on two previous occasions. The Cavaliers played again without their starting backcourt of Kyrie Irving (bruised shoulder) and Dion Waiters (sore knee). Irving has missed eight straight games while Waiters has been out the last four.
Philadelphia is ninth in the Eastern Conference, but sits 6 1/2 games behind Milwaukee in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot with 10 contests to play.
Spencer Hawes had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Sixers.
Cleveland trailed 77-66 after three quarters, but cut the margin to 78-74 early in the fourth. Turner hit a 3-pointer and a jumper to push the lead back to nine. Holiday added two 3-pointers and scored in the lane to keep the Sixers comfortably ahead.
Cleveland led 45-36 with 1:57 remaining in the second quarter, but the Sixers scored nine straight points to tie it. Tristan Thompson missed two free throws with 0.6 seconds remaining before halftime.
The Cavaliers, who have the third-worst record in the East, were officially eliminated from postseason contention Thursday when Milwaukee defeated the Los Angeles Lakers.
In addition to injuries, the Cavaliers' previous three losses were particularly frustrating. Cleveland squandered a 27-point lead in the second half and lost to Miami at home, was blown out by 38 points in Houston the following game for its worst loss of the season and let a 14-point lead with eight minutes to play get away at home and lost at the buzzer against Boston on Wednesday.
Tyler Zeller scored 14 points and had 10 rebounds for Cleveland.
Irving and Waiters both took part in pregame shooting drills, but it's unclear whether either player will return this season. Irving has missed eight straight games while Waiters has been out the last four contests. The Cavaliers have also been without center Anderson Varejao, who hasn't played since December after sustaining a split muscle in his leg. Varejao also developed a blood cut after having surgery.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Now that most conference teams have completed their regular season schedule, Conference Carolinas has announced their academic all-conference teams. The King University softball team placed two student-athletes on the academic All-Conference Carolinas team when the honorees were announced Tuesday by the conference office.
Seniors Fallon Thomas and Cassie Ringstaff were named academic all-conference for the second consecutive year. Thomas is currently the team's primary catcher and carries a 3.396 GPA while majoring in nursing. Ringstaff, who began the year at third base and has also seen significant time at second base, will graduate with a degree in Biology and has a 3.661 GPA.
Both seniors have performed well on the field in addition to their stellar work in the classroom. Thomas is third on the team with a .275 batting average and third in Conference Carolinas with 27 runs batted in. Ringstaff leads the league with 18 stolen bases in 20 attempts and is fourth on the team with a .263 batting average. The duo has combined to score 26 and 24 runs this season, respectively, accounting for nearly one-third of the Tornado's run production in 2014.
The 2014 Conference Carolinas Softball Academic All-Conference representatives have been awarded to junior and senior student-athletes with a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale in all work completed at their member institution that have played in a conference sponsored sport. The GPA is calculated based on the student-athletes cumulative average through the previous semester and each student-athlete must have attended their member institution for at least one academic year.

Government yet to deliver on promise made to independents
MORE than two years after promising to overhaul Australia's political party funding, the Federal Government has not yet delivered the changes.
Special Minister of State Gary Gray proposed minor changes to the Commonwealth Electoral Act, tabling the proposed reforms late on the final parliamentary sitting day of the year.
He referred the amendments to the Joint Standing Committee of Electoral Matters for public investigation and to report back in the New Year.
But while he has proposed some changes, crucial promises made to independent MPs to secure their support for the minority Gillard Government remained undelivered, despite a deadline of 2012.
The promise was part of the agreement to form government, with Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Treasurer Wayne Swan pledging to deliver real reform to political party funding by the end of the year.
Ms Gillard and Mr Swan agreed to lower the donation disclosure threshold to $1000, down from more than $12,000, and banning anonymous political donations over $50, as well as other key changes which could level the playing field and jeopardise the major parties long-held control of parliament.
But despite numerous committee inquiries recommending the same or very similar changes be made, the government has not acted in parliament on the promise in the two years since it was made.
Rather, the bill Mr Gray tabled on November 29 proposed changes in relation to an inquiry into the 2010 election, including electoral redistributions and changes to the postal voting system.
On the same day, Transport Minister Anthony Albanese tabled an update on the progress made towards numerous committee inquiries.
In that document, the government said it would "report in due course" on the inquiry, the only official update on the government's response since the original inquiry was completed, two months late, in December 2011.
That update also comes six months after the government response was officially due in June this year.
In response to requests for an update on the matter in November, Mr Gray's office released a statement which said the government was still considering the report, including possible legislative amendments.
The late tabling of the current amendments being considered by the JSCEM led to the window for public submissions ending on December 21.
No submissions were sent in and no public hearings about the changes have yet taken place.
The committee was expected to report its findings from the inquiry next year.

The genus Arctocephalus consists of eight of the nine species of fur seal.
- Genus Arctocephalus
- Antarctic fur seal, A. gazella
- Guadalupe fur seal, A. townsendi
- Juan Fernández fur seal, A. philippii
- Galápagos fur seal, A. galapagoensis
- Brown fur seal (or Cape fur seal), A. pusillus
- New Zealand fur seal, A. forsteri (validity questionable - see below)
- Subantarctic fur seal, A. tropicalis
- South American fur seal, A. australis
The number of species within the genus has been questioned, primarily based on limited molecular data. The issue is complicated because some of the species are able to produce fertile hybrids. A recent review recommended the retention of seven species, deprecating the New Zealand fur seals to a subspecies of the South American fur seal, while also questioning the status of the Guadalupe fur seal.[1] Other recent studies have indicated the genus may be paraphyletic.[2] In that case, all species (except for the Cape fur seal) will have to be split off into a separate genus,[1] for which the name Arctophoca has been suggested.

The Colorado Avalanche, losers of four of the past six games, are running the risk of falling back into the pack, but generally speaking the battle for the final two playoff spots in the Western Conference has been portrayed as a seven-way battle between clubs that are currently separated by nine points.
The Calgary Flames you know about, but what about the other half-dozen presumed contenders in the race to presumably start the playoffs in either Chicago or San Jose? In this group you'll find a couple of recent-vintage Cup winners, a couple of former Western powers that are now consorting with the riff-raff, a team trying to regain respectability and a club that somehow manages to rank as a surprise each and every winter.
Let's have a cursory look at the other guys and how they got to this point, shall we?
Detroit Red Wings
The Motown gang still packs mean brand-name clout but its actual performance is a square-root value of the level Detroit fans have become accustomed. It's natural for opponents to instictively flinch when they think about Detroit but every up-close encounter with the team (such as Tuesday's visit to the Joe by the Flames) is a reminder that these are not your father's Red Wings.
Let's face it, any club forced to give premium minutes to Todd Bertuzzi these days is not in peak form. The Wings were dangerously thin a year ago but managed to remain healthy enough and the Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Lidstrom continued to be sublime enough that Detroit won its division and came within a game of pulling off a Cup repeat.
Now, after another off-season of attrition — so long Mikael Samuelsson, Jiri Hudler, Marian Hossa — and some injury woes this season, the Wings are just another hockey team. At the very least, they're no longer the Detroit Freaking Red Wings that once could afford the luxury of using guys like Robert Lang and Ray Whitney as support players..
Funny thing is that after years of getting by with pedestrian goaltending — an aging Dominik Hasek, Chris Osgood — the Wings are getting very good work from Jimmy Howard this season. Howard's even-strength save percentage is better than Martin Brodeur's and very close to the numbers posted by Ryan Miller and Henrilk Lundqvist.
Nashville Predators
The Predators are a little bit like the Montreal Expos were in the final 15 years or so of their existence. Nashville keeps losing big-name players, the pre-season expectations from the experts are always low and attendance is always a concern, but Barry Trotz — the Felipe Alou of Music City — keeps his club in the thick of things every year.
Quick — who is currently the only plus player with more than 15 goals on the Predators roster? The answer is Patric Hornqvist, which explains why there's a Little-Engine-That-Could Vibe to this team. General manager David Poile's you-can-never-have-enough-defencemen attitude has laid the foundation for the franchise and the rest involves cobbling together enough Marcel Gocs and Jerred Smithsons and Francis Bouillons to give Trotz a fighting chance.
Key stat for the Preds? Among Western Conference teams, only San Jose and Los Angeles have more road wins.
Dallas Stars
Not so long ago, the Stars were perennial kings of the Pacific Division and one of the NHL's crown jewels. Now they're the type of organization that briefly hires Brett Hull as general manager and replaces Dave Tippett with Marc Crawford as head coach.
The Stars lost again Wednesday and had it not been for a mini-miracle comeback against the Capitals earlier this week would be dangerously to the last-rites stage for this season. Since the lockout, the Stars' season win total has dropped from 55 to 51 to 45 to 36 and it's not out of the question that the victory tally will drop against this year.
Netminder Marty Turco's numbers are not horrible, but he has become very erratic in the past couple of seasons, so much so that Dallas has rolled the dice by acquiring the once-highly regarded but oft-injured Kari Lehtonen.
The encouraging news is that franchise mainstays Mike Modano and Jere Lehtinen, who have next to nothing left in the tank, are almost surely in their final days with the organization and Jamie Benn, James Neal and Loui Eriksson are a pretty good starter kit to a major rebuiulding plan.
St. Louis Blues
First, it was the Chicago Blackhawks. Then it was the Los Angeles Kings. The next doormat with a significant chance to become a serious Western Conference contender could well be the St. Louis Blues. A horrendous home record (12-16-5) and a power play that ranks 14th out of 15 Western Conference clubs sabotaged any chances for the leap to happen this year but St. Louis has a lot of talented players aged 25 or younger (David Backes, T.J. Oshie, Erik Johnson, Patrik Berglund, David Perron with Lars Eller and Alex Pietrangelo on the way) and Paul Kariya and his $6 million come off the books this summer.
Some of that money should probably be spent on a goalie. Chris Mason, 33, is a free agent and Ty Conklin is a fine backup but a lousy option for No. 1 duty.
Minnesota Wild
Marian for Martin. That, along with parting company with the only head coach the franchise has ever known, was the calculated gamble the Wild took heading into the 2009-10 season. When Marian Gaborik tore out of the gate with his new club, the Rangers, Martin Havlat got off to a disastrous start (two goals and minus-14 through the first two months of the seasons), the decision looked like it was going to rank right up there with New Coke.
Havlat has since turned things around since then but this is still a team in transition. Getting Cam Barker from the cap-crunched Blackhawks for UFA-to be Kim Johnsson gives Minny a good head start on next year (and with four teams to overtake for eighth spot, this is defintely starting to get to next-year time for the Wild).
Concussion issues — Brent Burns last winter, Pierre-Marc Bouchard this year — have taken a big chunk out of the Wild for the past two seasons.
Anaheim Ducks
The Mallards won the Stanley Cup three years ago and had nine players (and seven medallists) at the 2010 Olympics, but the franchise is spinning its wheels. A four-game losing streak coming out of the break has put the Ducks in serious jeopardy of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2004, which was Mike Babcock's last season behind the Anaheim bench. Coincidentally, there is talk that this could be the end of the line for Randy Carlyle as the Ducks are headed for a third straight year with a decline in points.
Positivity looking ahead — the Ducks' three best forwards (Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan) are all under 25 and there has to be some good karma associated with the fact Todd Bertuzzi, who was bought out a couple of years ago, comes off the books next season.
Negativity looking ahead — the defence is very underwhelming, even if Scott Niedermayer decides to extend his career and remain in Orange County.

The Human Phenomenon
The evolution of mobile has been truly spectacular, in both magnitude and speed. In today's world, where hopping between cloud-connected screens has become second nature, it seems almost impossible to think that the iconic iPhone is barely six years old—while its tablet-sized cousin has only just celebrated its third birthday.
To define mobile as a technology or a device or a channel or a strategy doesn't cut it anymore. Mobile is what we do. It's how we behave. It's how we organize our lives and how we live our lives. Not to mention how we document them, too, of course. Make no mistake, mobile is a very human phenomenon.
The good news is that a lot of the pharmaceutical industry seems to have grasped this notion. Or, at the very least, marketers understand that doing mobile is no longer optional, and are trying to figure out their mobile identity.
Okay, so the intent to embrace mobile is stronger than ever. But are companies actually voting with their budgets, yet?
Yes, it turns out they are.
This month, Medical Marketing & Media published the findings of the inaugural MM&M/Ogilvy CommonHealth Healthcare Marketers Trends Report, which highlighted an encouraging shift in budgetary focus towards digital channels and tactics, including, of course, mobile.
The survey asked 200 senior marketers, director level and above, at pharma companies, biotechs, devices and diagnostic manufacturers about their marketing budgets and usage of various channels and tactics, as well as their perceptions and opinions of various industry forces, trends and events.
Growing Trend
For the healthcare professional audiences, 53% of all respondents reported investing in "mobile/tablet apps" in 2013, up from 35% in 2012. And 72% of these reported an increase in budget for this tactic in 2013. Similarly, 60% of all respondents reported a 2013 budget for "digital sales materials," up from 49% last year, with 68% of this group reporting an increase budget line in 2013.
Similarly, in terms of the consumer audience, 31% of all respondents reported investment in "mobile/tablet apps" in 2013, compared to a mere 18% in 2012, with a whopping 83% of these reporting increased mobile budgets this year.
Of course, the base may be small at this stage but it's going in the right direction. "We're still really at the infancy of what [the industry] is doing with it but it's good to see that it's risen up so many lists," says Mike Luby, founder, president and CEO of BioPharma Alliance. "The base may be smaller but it's moving in the right direction."
The MM&M/Ogilvy CommonHealth study also asked marketing directors to score 18 different trends, forces and events according to their perceived levels of challenge and opportunity, and "Mobile/Tablets" ranked fourth in the opportunity list. (You can find many more insights and results from the study in the June 2013 issue of MM&M.)
So not only is mobile top of mind for healthcare marketers, it's at last being reflected in the budgets, too. Of course, as already noted, they don't really have a choice.
"The power is in the palm of the people's hands now," says Geoff McCleary, VP, group director, mobile innovation at Digitas Health. "The course is being laid out for us. People will engage with services and tools to take healthcare and outcomes into their own hands. We're getting to the point where we are engaging with clients around 'How do I create a mobile offering that goes along with my treatment?' and that's unheard of from before. The conversation is around recognizing that it's not going to be about solely the pill moving forward."
McCleary says most of his clients have seen a 200% increase in traffic to their sites from mobile devices. "They're thinking, 'Well, if this is now 30% of my traffic, what experience am I giving the one in three people that come to my site?'"
Optimizing Strategy
And this is a good segue into a topic that may still be a something of a sore point for many in the industry: mobile optimization.
"It's stunning to me how many [pharmaceutical sites] are not mobile-optimized," laments Luby. How many sites is that, then? Even as recently as the start of this year, around 70% of pharma websites were reportedly still not optimized for mobile. This is bad enough in itself, but when you factor in that around two-thirds of mobile users (yes, doctors, too) abandon websites that are not mobile-optimized—and that eight out of 10 of those abandoners will go look for the same information elsewhere—the consequences to your business and reputation could be dire.
"Those are people you are actively turning away and saying 'Go look at my competitors'," says McCleary.
"There are a lot of pre-smartphone designs that are still out there … that legacy content and experience that needs to be updated. Fortunately the majority of folks in the industry are at least seeing that and knowing that they have to change."
Klick is another agency that is convinced that the tide is starting to turn on this issue. "Recently we have seen increased appropriate investment in ensuring mobile-optimized or responsive experiences," says Michele Perras, VP strategy. "There are some fantastic examples of best-in-class apps, full utilization of native web browsers and increased integration with eCRM, all underpinned by a cohesive and compliant mobile strategy." However, she cautions, that there is still a lot of work to be done. "Every digital touchpoint is an opportunity for high value interactions. Not having a mobile web experience at this stage is simply unacceptable."
Getting Up and Running
For many companies the first step is just to get up and running, which means updating all of the web properties, and doing it as quickly as possible. And if you want an example of how to do it efficiently, look no further than Pfizer, which launched no fewer than 10 mobile-optimized branded sites between January and April 2012, including Celebrex, Premarin, Detrol LA and Lyrica.
Pfizer didn't schedule its mobile launch based on sales. For example, Celebrex saw $750 million in worldwide sales last year, while fibromyalgia/diabetic nerve pain drug Lyrica, the last of the 10 mobile sites to launch, brought in $1.1 billion last year.
Instead, consumer demand was one of two key drivers of Pfizer's mobile push. "We saw just through looking at the data on our brand website or desktop site that there had been phenomenal growth within the traffic to those sites from mobile devices," Todd Kolm, the then director of emerging channel strategy at Pfizer, told MM&M in February.
Kolm said Pfizer came up with what could best be described as a "container" that regulatory would vet before content was flowed in, so that a basic template for the company's mobile sites was established. The "container" was partly based on consumer data, which clarified the patient perspective of what they need and when they need it.
All of Pfizer's primary care brands now have mobile-optimized sites.
"Pfizer is a good example of standing up mobile sites en masse and I think we'll start to see more of those approaches," says McCleary. "The challenge then is, okay, that's kind of a quick converter template to get up and running; now what is the next evolution of that? The template converts everybody but how do we give the power back to the brands? Should I do more of an integrated web strategy, should I do mobile first, do I need an app? How do I set the course moving forward?"
Of course, the bread-and-butter of pharma's mobile ROI remains, for now, in the healthcare professional space.
Manhattan Research's recent Taking The Pulse 2013 survey revealed that iPad penetration in the US has now reached 72%, up from 66% last year. Meanwhile HCP smartphone ownership remains around the 80% level.
Meredith Ressi, president, Manhattan Research, describes the physician's office as a complex mobile ecosystem, with three-device ownership now being the norm. "Pharma clients are trying to understand the device and workflow rather than just a device-centric look," she says.
(Interestingly, the study found that seven out of 10 physicians reported that at least one patient shares mobile-collected data with them, with blood pressure and glucose readings featuring prominently.)
A Manhattan Research/Google Physician Channel Adoption Study in June 2012 also showed that HCPs are keeping on multiple screens, with 87% using a smartphone or a tablet device in the workplace.
Search was found to be the number one activity among HCPs: and while 98% used their desktop/laptop to search, 56% also used their smartphone and 63% used their tablet.
Unsurprisingly, docs have little patience with non-optimized sites, with 62% saying they would be likely to leave such a site. Unfortunately, 41% said they are led to mobile-optimized sites "only occasionally".
Physicians watch videos across all three screens, too: desktop/laptop (67%), smartphone (13%) and tablet (29%). And when it comes to video content, the leading category is CME (55%). Interestingly, 29% expressed an interest in watching videos to show to their patients.
The Top Detailing Tool
To its credit, the pharmaceutical industry was quick to jump on physicians' devotion to the iPad, and to realize that the tablet was the detailing tool they had been waiting for. And this is still the biggest area of mobile investment.
An MD Mindset survey last year attempted to demonstrate the value of reps with iPads, and found that sales calls incorporating an iPad scored 8%-12% higher on key performance indicators than did non-tablet calls. What's more, calls using iPads resulted in a 90% reduction in the proportion of short visits, those of two minutes or less.
"If you can do something instantaneously in front of a customer, regardless of the stakeholder, it's much more impactful," says Michael Huiras, director of global marketing at Abbott-owned Ibis Biosciences about the virtues of the iPad.
"It's just a much better way to communicate," agrees Michael Fath, senior director, global marketing, pulmonology and thrombolysis, at Grifols, which markets specialty plasma protein replacement products. "But you have to get your MLR group to go along with it." Ah, yes, MLR.
"They're used to seeing pages," says Fath, "but when you start to say 'Let's do an algorithm' or 'Let's let [physicians] choose their own adventure' they get a lot more heartburn."
Many companies are working on making the internal approval process more efficient.
"We created a streamlined process," says Huiras of Abbott's digital restructure last year. "We line in the content creator, marketing communications, legal/regulatory, vendors—they all had iPads so they could see and touch everything at one time. We can track it digitally and we no longer need a physical hard copy. The turnaround time to get something created and approved has shrunk."
What else has been going on in mobile health? Klick's Perras says in the past year there has been an rise in the mainstream adoption of iPad sales tools and interactive sales aids, focusing on iPad sales platforms (such as Veeva's iRep), "Which demonstrate better integration with SFA technologies and facilitate a deeper CLM Strategy beyond the iPad," and also the next generation of interactive sales aids, "Which have a greater focus on enhanced interactive experiences, designing for the iPad first, and pushing the limits of HTML5." You can read more about this topic in this supplement.
Perras also notes a recent rise in mCRM, seeing it "moving from an add-on component in digital strategy to an integrated and effective channel for acquiring and engaging with both consumer and HCPs.No question pharma has made inroads into mobile in the past year. There have been some impressive initiatives.
There have been some impressive initiatives.
For example, back at the start of flu season, Sanofi Pasteur invited TV viewers to "Shazam" its commercial for Fluzone Intradermal influenza vaccine.
Shazam is a popular mobile app that detects what song is playing, subsequently directing users to iTunes where they can buy and download it. By applying the same audio-detection technology to TV commercials, companies can direct viewers to a web location—in this case, 100,000 viewers were directed to a "locator" to find out where they could get a shot.
But for every innovative Fluzone locator, there are several non-mobile-optimized sites. Is pharma likely to put mobile first anytime soon?
Then again we still have the massed ranks of the non-mobile optimized. Is pharma likely to put mobile first anytime soon?
McCleary thinks it's a tough decision to make. "The desktop has been such a monolithic beachhead from a marketing standpoint for so long that it's a very tough mental decision for a marketer or an organization to say, 'You know what? That's now a secondary thought for us'."

MIAMI (AP) — A Miami woman has apologized for flipping off a judge, who then dropped contempt charges and vacated her 30-day jail term.
Eighteen-year-old Penelope Soto admitted Friday she was under the influence of Xanax and alcohol when she made the obscene middle-finger gesture and rude comments earlier this week directed at Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat. Video of the confrontation quickly went viral.
Soto tearfully apologized to the judge, who said the episode should be a lesson in how to properly treat people. Rodriguez-Chomat said Soto would have been a convicted felon if he allowed the contempt charge to stand.
Her lawyer said Soto will complete a drug court program. That includes treatment for drug addiction and usually results in charges eventually being dropped for first-time offenders.

At long last, Tina Turner and Erwin Bach have tied the knot. The "Proud Mary" singer, 73, and the music producer, 57, were recently wed in Zurich, Switzerland. Together for 27 years, Reuters reports that the newlyweds had a civil ceremony "a few days ago."
The couple will reportedly celebrate their nuptials with a Buddhist ceremony at Tina's lakefront mansion on the banks of Lake Zurich.
PHOTOS: More celebrity weddings in 2013
This is the second marriage for the Tina, who was previously wed to musician Ike Turner from 1962 to 1976. During their turbulent union, Ike -- who died from a cocaine overdose in 2007 -- often physically abused the "River Deep, Mountain High" singer. Tina chronicled their volitive romance in her 1986 memoir, I, Tina.
PHOTOS: Couples with huge age differences
The former couple's marriage inspired the 1993 biopic What's Love Got to Do With It, named after Tina's comeback classic from 1984. The film starred Angela Bassett as Tina and Laurence Fishburne as Ike.
PHOTOS: TV and movie wedding dresses
Tina, an eight-time Grammy Award winner, retired from performing in 2009. The Tennessee native became a Swiss citizen earlier this year. She has has a 55-year-old son, Craig (with musician Raymond Hill), and a 52-year-old son, Ronald (with Ike).

by David A. Lombardo, Business Jet Traveler, December 2007/January 2008
An interviewer once asked an attorney what would be his worst courtroom nightmare. "Seeing Fred Furth sit down at the opposing table," he said.
The Furth Firm LLP began in 1966 in San Francisco and quickly became prominent for its antitrust litigation and for serving as lead counsel for plaintiffs in large, nationwide price-fixing cases, including some involving the gypsum wallboard, sugar and cement industries. The firm also prosecutes class-action lawsuits on behalf of consumers, investors and businesses.
At 73, Furth may be moving a little slower than he once did but he continues to have a steel-trap memory and the ability to dissect a problem and reduce it to its important elements.
A physician once told Furth his personality was so far beyond Type A that the term didn't do him justice. Since opening his law firm, he has launched a successful winery. He also serves on the boards of Robert Half International, the National WWII Museum and the International Federal Election Systems.
While Furth spends less time in San Francisco than he used to, he continues to work long hours in a comfortable two-story office filled with memorabilia. It sits atop a hill in Sonoma County overlooking his beloved 1,400-acre Chalk Hill Estate Winery, which has been described as "a really big small winery."
Furth is a study in controlled chaos. Surrounded by people who come and go, he adroitly shifts mental gears as he discusses law, the vineyard, taxes, flying and myriad other topics.
You don't interview Furth; he holds court. If you don't have your facts straight, you'll quickly discover he doesn't suffer fools. Yet beneath the matter-of-fact exterior lies a big heart. One evidence of that was Furth's great affection for Brandenburg, a Harlequin Great Dane who was his constant companion. Shortly before his recent death, Brandenburg accompanied Furth on an around-the-world trip, including a stop at the Paris Air Show in June, in the attorney's new Cessna Mustang.
The list of cases you've taken over the years reveals some interesting choices. How do you decide which ones to take on?
I often take cases no one else wants because I like the challenge. Big corporate lawyers will recommend their client contact me when they're worried a case may strain their relationship with the client. When you charge $50 million in legal fees, then lose the case for another $150 million, that doesn't ingratiate you. But at heart I'm a plaintiff 's attorney; I'll pull for the little guy getting pushed around every time.
You came from a south-side Chicago, blue-collar background?
My maternal grandfather came from Poland and moved to West Harvey [Illinois] in 1892. Harvey was the swells, West Harvey was the other side of the tracks; we practically needed a visa to go to Harvey.
My dad was from Germany, came here in 1912 and spent his life working in factories. I grew up during the Depression about as poor as you can; we just didn't know it. I always say I come from the lowest class economically and the highest class culturally.
I was born in the same house and room as my mother. We were a very close-knit family. My parents were loving and wonderful people and my mother gave me the two greatest gifts any mother could give a son. She taught me I was OK and she gave me my faith. More than once, I've been flying a high-performance jet in the middle of the ocean and said, "Lord, please give me a little help here" and he often has.
How did you get from a poor south-side upbringing to where you are today?
Hard work. I learned very young if I wanted something I had to work for it. In high school, I worked for the post office from 5 to 8 in the morning, then went to classes all day, then back to the post office from 3 to 9 p.m., then homework, bed and start again. I also worked there all day Saturday and half of Sunday. Once you get in the habit of always working, it just becomes a way of life. I held many different jobs before becoming an attorney. You know, you do what you have to do.
What was the most important thing that taught you?
Two things, really. First, it taught me a work ethic. I win cases because I burn the midnight oil and work weekends preparing; I'm going in that courtroom totally prepared. The other thing I learned was how to deal with people. I have friends who are heads of state and friends who are blue-collar workers. The one thing everyone has in common is they want to be treated with respect.
So your childhood experiences have guided you as an attorney?
Definitely, and one event in particular. When I was six, my sister contracted scarlet fever. Some government official came to the door and it worried my mother so much she put us kids in the closet until he left. The guy nailed a red sign with skull and crossbones on our house. I was furious and swore I would never let anyone push me or my family around like that again. I don't like big guys pushing little guys around simply because they can.
What cases are you especially proud of?
There have been many where we've been able to help out the little guy. We proved the California Wal-Marts systematically and illegally denied workers lunch breaks and other mandatory benefits. The case yielded a $175 million settlement for 116,000 former and current Wal-Mart employees.
People who work for you joke that you would have been an airline pilot if the pay was better. Is it true you fly all your aircraft yourself?
Why would I buy an airplane for someone else to fly? I want to know what's going on; I like to be in control. Most owners climb in the back to relax on the way to do business. I climb in the front for the same reason. [But] I don't do it completely alone; I have Mark Dietrich, who's director of aviation and a certified mechanic, and a full-time captain who flies as my co-captain on the Citation X. I fly the Citation Mustang and Caravan alone. I could never do what I do today without the knowledge that I can take a 10-minute drive to the airport and go anywhere in the world I need to be.
Your winery's flight department has a reputation for the quality of its aircraft maintenance. What makes it so good?
I think Cessna aircraft are the best in the world to begin with but I wanted my jets maintained as the best aircraft in the world. People think I'm exaggerating but somebody has to maintain some airplane somewhere as the best and we've made the decision to be that somebody.
I gave Mark the absolute authority to say, "It's a no-go today, Fred." If he grounds an airplane, it's grounded until he says it goes. He knows what he's doing and has the equipment to get the job done. Because of Mark, we've had 100-percent dispatch reliability for every one of our aircraft since the day we took delivery of them.
There's quite a story about how you acquired the Citation Mustang.
I've got a Citation X, which I love dearly, and we're flying it about 600 hours a year but I'll go on a relatively short trip and it really does burn fuel. Cessna had been on me to get a Mustang for those short trips. It was right about then we were having an auction to benefit a children's charity so I worked a deal to put a Mustang on the auction list.
The bidding was for an early-number Mustang that would be delivered fairly quickly plus a 6-Liter 2003 Furth proprietary wine and a 6-Liter 2001 Stone-street Alexander Mountain Estate Christopher's Cabernet Sauvignon. By the end of the auction, I ended up with the aircraft. I think I bid about $200,000 over what Cessna was asking, but they gave us a good deal on the airplane. Besides, it was for a good cause.
How did you take such a big leap from lawyer to vintner?
I have always been interested in wine because my grandfather had vineyards. I'm actually more interested in the working-the-soil aspect, but I have many very talented people in the winery who know how to produce a world-class wine.
When I bought this property, I was told it was too hilly to be a vineyard but I simply planted the grapes in rows going uphill. People said you can't do that, but I'd seen it done in Germany so I knew it would work. The proof's in the pudding. All our wines are highly rated.
Are there parallels between being a lawyer, vintner and pilot?
There are direct parallels. Whether you're running a winery, trying a case or flying an airplane, you always have to be asking: What if? It's critical to think ahead and have a Plan B. When you're running a winery, it's like having 140 members of a symphony and you're the conductor; a law firm really isn't any different. You gather good people around you and they constantly feed you information so you understand what's going on at all times. In flying, we call it cockpit resource management.

1. At the first sign of a cold or flu decrease your food intake or eliminate it entirely for the first24 hours. Your appetite level will be your guide here. If you are hungry, eat sparingly and maintain a dietof fruits, vegetables, soups and salads. These are alkaline foods which act to neutralize the acidic internalenvironment in which bacteria and viruses love to play2. Bed rest ! Yes, this means you ! Take a day or two off work, enjoy a good book or catch up onyour video's or sleep. Doing this now will allow you to get back to the job sooner and eliminate thepossibility of infecting your fellow workers.3. Take Oscillococcinum or Flu Solution, which are homeopathic influenza medicines. This willoften stop the cold or flu right in its tracks. If the condition has advanced to the infection stage, these willalso be useful. For an illness which has taken hold, an individual homeopathic prescription may benecessary.4. Garlic at 1 to 3 cloves per day, chopped and swallowed with a little water or in soup hasproven to be very effective against viruses and bacteria. Raw garlic works better than encapsulated garlicas less is needed.5. Increasing vitamin C at the beginning of the cold and flu season will help detoxify the body,thus eliminating the type of environment bacteria and viruses enjoy. Beta carotene also helps in thisregard as both vitamins enhance immune system function and cellular defense mechanisms.6. Hydrotherapy techniques such as the wet t-shirt or sock treatment or constitutionalhydrotherapy are also beneficial. These treatments can be done at home or at RNA. For more informationon how to perform them, contact the clinic.7. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or become worse. A cold or flu can turn intosomething else such as bronchitis or pneumonia so prolonged illnesses need to be evaluated by yourphysician.Last years cold and flu season was particularly severe, and it is expected that this one will be aswell. Many of our patients who followed this protocol experienced a shorter course of the illness andfewer down days. We hope that this will be beneficial again this season.

Water testing available for area residents
Officials have secured $150,000 through the Colcom Foundation's grant program, "Marcellus Environmental Fund," for the Headwaters Quality Drinking Water Project.The initiative reportedly will provide low- to moderate-income families in Jefferson, Elk, Potter, Cameron, Clinton, Centre, Clearfield, and McKean counties with funding to secure chain-of-custody water sample analysis of their private water supplies prior to Marcellus Shale gas well drilling activities."Everybody needs to send in their applications as soon as possible because we're sending them to the labs, then the labs are setting up the sampling rounds for close proximity to each other," said Kim Bonfardine, watershed specialist for the Elk County Conservation District. "If you'd have five close to each other in Highland Township, they'd want to schedule it so they can get out there and do all five at once."Dwellings with one person should have an income exceeding no more than $31,750; a two-person income dwelling tops out at $36,250; a three-person income dwelling is $40,888; a four-person income dwelling is $45,300; a five-person income dwelling is $48,950; a six-person income dwelling is $52,550; a seven-person income dwelling is $56,200; and eight or more people is $59,800."This isn't a low-income thing, it's a pretty moderate income level," Bonfardine said. "If you fall above the specifications, please still submit your grant application because if we don't get 100 of these income levels that are stated on here, we're going to go ahead and test all of them, up to 100. "We want to get as many samples as possible, that's one of the main ideas, just to get a good idea as to what is going on in area well water and springs. A lot of other programs don't cover spring water sampling, so this is a good opportunity to get your spring tested if you have that type of water."For more information, contact Kelly Williams, watershed conservationist at the Clearfield County Conservation District at 814-765-2629 or email@example.com. Applications can be obtained at the Clearfield County Conservation District, located at 511 Spruce St. in Clearfield, or online at www.headwaterspa.org."It's a great opportunity, especially with eight counties able to get that much testing done," Sorg said. "It was a major step in being able to get this grant."Pick up a copy of the Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.Next meeting:Elk County Board of CommissionersWhen: Tuesday, Nov. 22Where: Courthouse Annex, Conference Room No. 2Time: 10 a.m.

Re: Security with open() in CGI scriptsby Trimbach (Curate)

...and as an add on to rob_au's excellent post, here's an idea to increase security, especially for open calls and such. Instead of passing directory names and filenames directly from the browser (which means worrying about shell escape characters and such) why not pass tokens that correspond to directories and files that are hard-coded into your script. So instead of
which makes you worry about $theme->{ThemeDir} why not
Now everything is under control... if $theme ever contains anything it isn't supposed to then the worst thing that can happen is the hash lookup fails and the open fails. No way malicious code can hurt you, all because you insulated your open by using a hash.
Of course, this isn't always practical, but most of the time it's a good idea. This won't work if you let users name their own files, and upload (or create) those files directly on the server, but if you're doing that you're gonna have to jump through more hoops than we've covered here in order to maintain security.

Polio has been eradicated from Indonesia now. Avian influenza (bird flu) has also made headlines, but outbreaks are sporadic and limited to people who deal with live or dead poultry in rural areas. Eating cooked chicken appears to be safe.
There is rabies in Indonesia and it can be carried by any warm-blooded animal. Many will be asymptomatic and will appear healthy while being infectious. Bali has a known problem with its dog population. Cats and monkeys are still risky. If your travel involves handling animals in any way you might want to get the shots first. Otherwise, try not to get too close.
The local Indonesian health care system is in many cases, not up to western standards . While a short-term stay in an Indonesian hospital or medical centre for simple health problems is probably not markedly different to a western facility, serious and critical medical emergencies will stretch the system to the limit. However, some private hospitals in big cities - such as in Java and Bali - have an international accreditation, though you will be paying a steep premium for their services. SOS-AEA Indonesia (24 hr emergency line ☎ +62 21 7506001) specialises in treating expats and has English staff on duty, but charges are correspondingly high. In any case, travel health insurance that includes medical evacuation back to a home country is highly recommended. Many rich Indonesians often choose to travel to neighbouring Singapore to receive more serious health care, and you should consider that option too. Before going to a hospital for non-emergency cases, it is advisable to ask which hospitals are good and which aren't.
If you need a specific medicine, bring the medicine in its container/bottle, if possible with the doctor's prescription. Indonesian custom inspectors may ask about the medicine. If you need additional medicine in Indonesia, bring the container to an apotek (pharmacy) and if possible mention the active ingredients of the medicine. Drugs are usually manufactured locally under different brand names but contain the same ingredients, the ingredients are always accompanied by the brand names in smaller letters. Be careful about the proper dosage of the medicine and be aware that small toko obat (not apotek) knowingly sell "recycled" (expired) medicine at low prices.
For routine traveller complaints, one can often find dokter (medical doctors) in towns. These small clinics are usually walk-in, although you may face a long wait. Most clinics open in the afternoon (from 16:00). The emergency room (UGD/IGD) in hospitals are always open (24 hr). There are poliklinik (clinics) in most hospitals (08:00-16:00). Advance payment, incremental payments or some amount of credit card blocked are expected for treatment in some of the hospitals.
Be warned that the doctors/nurses may not speak English well enough to describe an appropriate diagnosis or may be reluctant to provide one, be patient and take a good phrasebook or a translator with you. Ask about the name and dosage of the prescription medicine, as a few doctors may oversubscribe to inflate their own commission, antibiotics are often inappropriately prescribed, and vitamins are often provided liberally.
The rediscovery of
Statement Clutch Black Ice Pattern by VIDA VIDA AToyl
's works–more than 3000 pages of it would eventually be translated–fuelled a spirit of inquiry into natural processes that had already begun to emerge in the 12th century. Some scholars believe that these works represented one of the most important document discoveries in Western intellectual history. Clutch in Black and Marroon Montone Senza Pello Marni Y7kOBk5LS
Richard Dales, for instance, calls the discovery of Aristotle's works "a turning point in the history of Western thought." [46] After Aristotle re-emerged, a community of scholars, primarily communicating in Latin, accelerated the process and practice of attempting to reconcile the thoughts of Greek antiquity, and especially ideas related to understanding the natural world, with those of the church. The efforts of this " scholasticism " were focused on applying Aristotelian logic and thoughts about natural processes to biblical passages and attempting to prove the viability of those passages through reason. This became the primary mission of lecturers, and the expectation of students.
The university culture developed differently in northern Europe than it did in the south, although the northern (primarily Germany, France and Great Britain) and southern universities (primarily Italy) did have many elements in common. Latin was the language of the university, used for all texts, lectures,
and examinations. Professors lectured on the books of Aristotle for logic,
natural philosophy
, and
; while
, and
were used for medicine. Outside of these commonalities, great differences separated north and south, primarily in subject matter. Italian universities focused on law and medicine, while the northern universities focused on the arts and theology. There were distinct differences in the quality of instruction in these areas which were congruent with their focus, so scholars would travel north or south based on their interests and means. There was also a difference in the types of degrees awarded at these universities. English, French and German universities usually awarded bachelor's degrees, with the exception of degrees in theology, for which the doctorate was more common. Italian universities awarded primarily doctorates. The distinction can be attributed to the intent of the degree holder after graduation – in the north the focus tended to be on acquiring teaching positions, while in the south students often went on to professional positions.
Foldaway Tote Flowery Fun by VIDA VIDA qExkdHN2A
The structure of northern universities tended to be modeled after the system of faculty governance developed at the University of Paris. Southern universities tended to be patterned after the student-controlled model begun at the University of Bologna. [49] Among the southern universities, a further distinction has been noted between those of northern Italy, which followed the pattern of Bologna as a "self-regulating, independent corporation of scholars" and those of southern Italy and Iberia, which were "founded by royal and imperial charter to serve the needs of government."

Advocaat set for Serbia role
Dick Advocaat has revealed he is set to take charge of the Serbia national team.
The experienced Dutchman is currently out of work, having come out of retirement in October last year to manage AZ for a second time.
He helped the Alkmaar club reach the UEFA Europa League play-offs with an eighth-place finish in the Eredivisie last term, but defeat to Groningen in the final left them without continental competition for 2014-15 and Advocaat subsequently stepped down.
Walter Zenga was also thought to be a candidate to replace Sinisa Mihajlovic, who resigned from the Serbia job after failure to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.
However, it now appears Advocaat is set to lead the team in their efforts to reach Euro 2016 in France, and the former Russia boss is confident he can bring success.
He told Voetbal International: "I did not want to work as a club coach any more.
"There was a vague contact with South Africa, but the job is too far away and the Serbian federation took the initiative to talk to me.
"They have a great team and we can really focus on qualifying for the European Championship in 2016.
"My contract will run until the end of the tournament, but the practice is usually to quit once you are unable to qualify."

New Frontiers in Chemesthesis: pronounced keem-E-thesis, think
perception of pain, temperature, and touch (can be used in all
sensory organs)- in the mouth it includes pain from capsaicin in
hot peppers, menthol cooling sensation, and the signals are sent to
the brain through cranial nerve V- the trigeminal nerve.
Synonyms- irritation, common chemical sense. A stimulant
that is perceived and the body reponse.
Today's excellent talks which included these cool data:
1. "Toothache tree" Zanthoxylum (peppercorns) contains
hydroxy-alpha-sanshool. This compound causes "tingling" when used
topically. Dr. Diana Bautista (I'll get a video embeded above)
showed that the mechanism of this natural pain reliever was not due
to the same ways that capsaicin or mustard seed works, and that it
can reverse mechanical (touch) sensitivity when skin is
2. Oleocanthal, a chemical in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO
as Rachel Ray would say), is pungent to the human oral
cavity, Dr. Catherine Peyrot de Gachons found this
mild irritation is due to the same mechanism of action
as ibruprophen, it elicits the TRPA1 channel.
