The Bignose Shark (Carcharhinus altimus) is a deepwater, diurnally migrating (12-430 m) whaler shark which probably has a circumglobal distribution on the continental shelf edge in tropical and warm seas, although records are patchy. There are no target fisheries for this species, although it is taken as bycatch in deep set pelagic longlines including widespread tuna longline fisheries, and occasionally in bottom trawls. Reported catches are small, but shark bycatch in longline fisheries is not reported fully throughout the species' range and cannot be used to assess mortality or population trends. It is closely related to the Sandbar Shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus), which it may often be mistaken for (by both fishers and biologists), and which has been heavily depleted by fishing pressure in the northwest Atlantic. Although no specific data are available for Bignose Shark, it is suspected that this species has also been impacted by longline fisheries operating in this region, warranting an assessment of Near Threatened in the northwest Atlantic based on a suspected decline. Fishing pressure is also high in Southeast Asia, where this species is utilized whole. Its presence is also confirmed in the Hong Kong fin trade. The Bignose Shark is taken in bottom trawls in the western Indian Ocean, probably by line or gillnet off India and in nearshore pelagic longlines around the Maldives. Catch rates reported by fishermen in the Maldives have declined significantly in recent years. In Australia this species is not commercially fished, where it is assessed as Least Concern. At present there is insufficient information to assess this species beyond Data Deficient globally. However, given that it may have similarly vulnerable life history characteristics to the related Sandbar Shark, evidence for declines in some regions and high fishing pressure in large parts of its range, its status is of concern and data collection and precautionary adaptive collaborative management should be a priority.
|Range Description:
|This species is circumglobal, but patchily recorded in tropical and warm seas (Compagno in prep, White et al. 2006).
Western central and southwest Atlantic: reported from Florida, Bahamas, Cuba, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Brazil (Compagno in prep.). Eastern central Atlantic: Senegal, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast and Ghana, and also in the Mediterranean Sea (Golani 2002, Compagno in prep). Indian Ocean: South Africa, Madagascar, India, Maldives, Red Sea and possibly also Sri Lanka (Compagno in prep.). Northwest and western central Pacific: China, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines (Compagno et al. 2005, Compagno in prep., White et al. 2006). Eastern central and southeast Pacific: Gulf of California, southern Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Revillagigedo Islands (Compagno in prep.). Also occurs off Australia, in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and Hawaii, in the Central Pacific (Compagno in prep.).
A transboundary/migratory species that has been tagged travelling distances between 1,000 and 2,000 miles (Kohler et al. 1998).

|The low tag and recapture rate (5.3%) of Bignose Shark (Carcharhinus altimus) does not necessarily reflect a low abundance of this species, but may be due to this species being undesirable or inaccessible to the main body of fishing and tagging effort in the Atlantic Ocean (Kohler et al. 1998). Soto (2001) notes that it is uncommon in Brazil, but that it is probably distributed offshore along the entire Brazilian coast. The species is reported as rare in the Mediterranean Sea (Serena 2005).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species occurs mainly on the edge of continental shelves in deep water (12-430 m), and is more common between 80 and 220 m with very occasional captures in shallow water (Tester 1969). Between North Carolina and Florida, USA, it has a depth range from 12-200 m (Commercial Shark Fishery Observer Program unpubl data). Individuals have been caught at night near the surface over deep water in Hawaii, Maldives, Australia, Brazil and Sri Lanka. Therefore the species is thought to display diurnal vertical migrations (Anderson and Stevens 1996).
Average reproductive age is ~21 years. Males reach maturity at 216 cm total length (TL) and females at 226 cm TL. Maximum size is 282 cm TL and size at birth is 70-90 cm TL (Compagno 1984, Kohler et al. 1995, Jensen et al. 1996). Females give birth to 1-13 pups per litter.
|Major Threat(s):
Globally, C. altimus is taken in pelagic longline fisheries in deep water (Anderson and Stevens 1996) and is therefore susceptible to capture in widespread tuna longline fisheries. The species is occasionally caught in bottom trawls.
In the US northwestern Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico waters this species is not targeted. It is rarely caught in the US commercial bottom longline fishery (from New Jersey to Louisiana: 46 individuals recorded by fishery observers monitoring ~4% of the fishery during 1994 to 2003) or the US pelagic longline fishery (east coast of the US, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean: 41 individuals observed recorded by fishery observers monitoring ~ 5% of the fishery during 1992 to 2000). There is no indication that catch rates for this species are increasing in either of these fisheries. However, this species is often misidentified by fishermen and biologists (J. Musick pers. comm.). It is related to the sandbar shark, which it may often be mistaken for, and which has been heavily depleted by fishing pressure in the Northwest Atlantic. Although no specific data are available for C. altimus, it is suspected that this species has also been impacted by longline fisheries operating in this region. It is possible non-US longline vessels targeting tuna (deeper sets) may catch this species as bycatch, however there are no data available to confirm this. In the Caribbean, this species is apparently taken on deep-set longlines (particularly off Cuba, but also southern Florida), and there it is utilized for fishmeal, oil and shagreen (Compagno in prep.).
In the eastern central and southeast Pacific, this species is taken as bycatch of gillnets, bottom longlines and trawls.
In the southwest Atlantic, off Brazil, C. altimus is taken incidentally by commercial fisheries on the outer continental shelf and continental slope. The species was first identified and recorded from the catches of tuna longliners operating out of Santos (São Paulo State, southern Brazil) by Sadowsky and Amorim (1977). They are seldom caught by this fleet but are retained when caught and sold as "other sharks" (Arfelli and Amorim 1994). The bignose shark is also taken in directed artisanal shark longline fisheries around Venezuelan oceanic islands (Tavares 2005).
It is also taken in bottom trawls in the western Indian Ocean and probably by line or gillnet off India. Taken by nearshore pelagic longline around the Maldives; catch rates reported by fishermen to have declined significantly in recent years (C. Anderson pers. comm. 2007). Whole individuals are consumed and traded at local markets in Thailand and the Philippines (Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center 2006). In Indonesia this species is caught occasionally by shark longliners and is a utilized bycatch of gillnet fisheries (White et al. 2006). It has been confirmed as present in the shark fin trade through genetic testing of fins collected in Hong Kong (Clarke et al. 2006). This species is not commercially harvested in Australia.
In the Mediterranean this species is known to be important bycatch of the pelagic longline fishery operating from eastern Algerian ports (Fowler et al. 2005).
|Conservation Actions:
In US waters, under the Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic tunas, swordfish and sharks (National Marine Fisheries Service 2007), Carhcarhinus altimus, is currently listed as a Prohibited Species.
Collection of data and assessment of catches of this species is required throughout its range. This species is taken on the high seas, outside waters managed by coastal States. This species is listed as a highly migratory species under the 1995 UN Agreement on the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks (UNFSA). The Agreement specifically requires coastal States and fishing States to cooperate and adopt measures to ensure the conservation of these listed species. To date, there is little progress in this regard. See http://www.unclos.com for further details. Also of relevance is the FAO International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks (IPOA-Sharks) which specifically recommends that Regional Fisheries Organisations (RFO) carry out regular shark population assessments and that member States cooperate on joint and regional shark management plans. This is of particular importance for sharks such as C. altimus, whose stocks are exploited by more than one State on the high seas. Although steps are being taken by some RFOs, such as ICCAT, to collect species-specific data on pelagic sharks, and to ban the practise of shark finning, to date no RFO has limited shark catches or drafted a "Shark Plan" as suggested in the IPOA-Shark guidelines.
The 2004 ICCAT shark stock assessment workshop (ICCAT 2005) reported that the current situation on submission of shark statistics indicates that the overall volume of catch reported to ICCAT does not represent the total removals of these sharks and the data are also very limited with respect to the size-, age- and sex- composition of the catch. It is noted that improvements in the ICCAT shark database can only be achieved if the Contracting Parties increase infrastructure investment into monitoring the overall catch composition and disposition of the overall catch of sharks and other by-catch species. Therefore, the workshop group recommended that larger monitoring and research investments directed at sharks in particular, and other by-catch species in general, need to be made by the Parties. Above and beyond this main recommendation, the group identified a number of research activities that could provide for improved advice on the status of these species, if implemented. See ICCAT (2005) for further details. This situation applies to all RFOs and is included here as a standard that needs to apply internationally for fisheries that capture pelagic sharks such as this.
Two RFOs, IATTC and ICCAT, have adopted finning (the removal of fins and discard of carcasses at sea) bans, as have several range states (e.g., USA, EU, Australia, Brazil etc.) and the EU. These bans only affect a limited part of the geographic range of this wide ranging shark at present.
Precautionary adaptive collaborative management of target and bycatch fisheries is needed for this potentially vulnerable shark.

Kylie Not Engaged
The AP reported last week that Kylie Minogue would be announcing her marriage to Olivier Martinez in Prague. Some Czech website originally made the claim.
But Kylie appeared on The Today Show yesterday and told Matt Lauer that it was all full of sh*t. That she and Olivier "dated" and that there is no engagement on the horizon. It appears Kylie is still single.
I'm thinking Gerard Butler? She can help him with his pants!

Shire is also a perennial takeover target, but with a market capitalization of close to $20 billion its a prize that won't come cheap. Feeding the speculation is Shire's solid late stage pipeline, which features new entries in undertreated conditions like dry eye disease and major depressive disorder.
To take a closer look forward, Pharm Exec met last month for a Q&A with new company CEO Flemming Ornskov, an academically–trained physician with a background in pediatrics who has also cut a wide swath through Big Pharma, having served previously in key management roles at Bayer, Bausch & Lomb, Merck, and Novartis. Ornskov recently unveiled a three-year strategy plan that places major bets on undertreated specialty segments in ophthalmology, ratchets up the commitment to leadership in rare diseases, and reinforces Shire's vaunted "just do it" culture through a faster, more agile decision-making structure. The plan positions Shire to take maximum advantage of opportunities to innovate by effectively forcing the in-house R&D and business development functions to compete in bringing the best assets forward to commercialization. It was also clear from the discussion that a few things about Shire will not change: a determination to stay independent and to avoid the Big Pharma contagion of bureaucracy and bloat. Yes, it's still true: when a Shire CEO shows up for a talk, there is no entourage. —William Looney, Editor-in-ChiefPE: Under your predecessor Angus Russell, Shire established itself as a high-growth specialty business with a distinctive culture, a key element of which was to avoid the perceived gridlock of Big Pharma. Since taking up the CEO post on April 30, you have been strong on the same mark, with a new strategic plan to guide the company through its next phase of growth. What are the plan's key elements and how do you assess the response of the investment community?
Ornskov: Our strategy has three components. The first is a commitment to leadership in specialty medicines. The second is to maintain our company's status as a growth stock, with a significant inventory of assets to propel us forward. The third is to become even more innovative in all that we do as an organization, but especially through our expanding in-house capabilities on research as well as Shire's traditional strengths in tapping opportunities through business development and licensing. This latter, dual capability is unique to Shire as a mid-sized company in the pharma space. It is an attribute I intend to emphasize going forward.
Another, overarching aspect of the strategy is the imperative I see to make Shire a truly international organization. We are at the stage now where we need to think seriously about building a stake in markets like China and increasing our presence in Japan. Shire is already in Latin America but we can certainly do more in that region. In Europe, we are well established but there are areas where our footprint can be augmented.
As far as the investor community is concerned, I think the consensus is the strategy is forward looking and prudent: it will keep us lean as we grow and is appropriately balanced between opportunity and risk. Like everything in this business, time—and the market—will tell.

This time of year you hear a great deal about love, and this column is also about that subject but not necessarily the kind one would associate with Valentine's Day.
This time of year you hear a great deal about love, and this column is also about that subject but not necessarily the kind one would associate with Valentine's Day.
Last week while in the waiting room of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem I picked up a copy of Martha Stewart's Living magazine to pass the time. Since I was there because my mother was having a heart procedure, the beautiful heart-shaped floral arrangement on the cover of the February issue got my attention.
In flipping to the main article, "147 Ways to Show Your Love," it appeared someone had torn out the article — ironic. Then a prophetic thought came to me that I must not have needed any guidance on that topic after all. Suddenly it was clear as I thought about Mother again that it was actually true. I didn't need a published lesson on how to show love, for the best teacher of this was lying in a nearby operating room, sleeping through a lengthy procedure to correct her irregular heartbeat.
Hopefully Martha won't mind that instead of spotlighting the contents of her teachings, the true focus of this column at least should be Elsie Brinkley Fritts. Our mother was one child of 10 raised on a farm in Welcome, and after her 80-plus years, she managed to face and overcome many health issues to ultimately outlive all but her one remaining sibling. Sadly, within the past year she had actually lost two brothers, one sister, two nephews and a niece. With all this as well as her own health concerns, she continued the incredible challenge of being the primary caregiver to a husband with Alzheimer's disease, yet through it all she remained positive and a wonderful example of how to give the greatest gift of all.
She could have given up on the endless struggles with our father and placed him into a home, but she declined the notion. Even after recently falling and breaking her arm, she remained the epitome of a real trooper who loved her husband and refused to shirk her responsibility. She fought against our advice to get help with Dad until the family insisted. She would say, "He's mine and I'll take care of him as long as I can."
Mother taught us many lessons of love and life in general like how to keep house, raise children the right way, put in a permanent, filet a fish, save money, restore antiques, sew and quilt as well as how to make unbeatable yeast rolls (which have been shipped to family members round the world). She even gave in to riding a go-cart when she was 78 to make her great-grandson happy.
Mom taught us how to farm, can vegetables, not to drive too fast (which I still ignore), how to cook killer dumplings, hold on to faith, organize a great bridal shower, value an education, teach Sunday school and Bible school, be a selfless giver, exercise patience, care for pets (even if they didn't belong to you), how to be humble yet fearless, remember that family comes first, be kind to those who don't deserve it, forgive those who wrong you, stand by your man even if he makes mistakes, never lie, be tough when others need you to be (including spanking your children when they refuse to stop misbehaving, even if it hurts you more), work very hard, always be a lady, stay quiet when others need you to, never do anything you might regret, rise above the fray, find the beauty in a bad situation, never be jealous of others, hold on when it's needed, let go when appropriate and never stop trying.
But above all else, love, love, love everyone. So hard to list it all, and while attempting to express her virtues to you on an old laptop in a crowded hospital waiting room, I suddenly realized I didn't tell her nearly enough how much I loved her.
With that, a sudden pang of fear washed over me. What if the surgery didn't go well? There may never be another chance to tell her. In looking around the room, I wondered how many other folks there may be feeling the same.
This brought back yet another memory from years earlier, in another hospital waiting room, when mother's loving kindness made a lasting impression. The family was anxiously awaiting the results of our father's exploratory surgery when Mom noticed another woman there who needed some support. Her son had been in a serious traffic accident. She was alone, from out of town and clearly worried. Mom went into action to give her comfort, so sweetly, so compassionately, putting aside her own concerns to make time to help a stranger unload her worry to someone else who cared.
Hopefully those of you who read this will never miss an opportunity to give love back to those who loved you and taught you how to love. You never know when it might be your last chance.
Love you Mom.

Acoustic Communications and Naviagtion for Under-Ice Sensors
Arctic Research Initiative
2009 Funded Project
AbstractThe proposed work is motivated by the needs of researchers who perform studies in the Arctic. The goal is to perform research and initial demonstrations that will directly impact existing and planned scientific investigations by WHOI scientists in the Arctic, and that will also allow us to obtain funding for future, longer-range systems as well. The ranges of interest fall into three regimes, 1-10 km, 10-50 km, and 50-400 km.
Research with autonomous sensors such as gliders and AUVs is more difficult under ice than in the open ocean because the vehicles cannot surface to receive GPS positions or to send data to shore via Iridium. There is also significant risk in sending vehicles under the ice, and at least one expensive vehicle has been lost (Autosub 2 from the UK National Oceanography Centre in 2005). Enabling vehicles to operate under the ice requires reliable acoustic navigation and communication.
Example uses of underwater vehicles in the Arctic include mapping the extent of the ice and measuring chemical or physical parameters of the water at different range scales. Communications range, navigational range and accuracy, and communications throughput are the key parameters, and they differ depending on the mission. For gliders transiting deep under the ice for long periods of time, navigation is the most important capability. However, a simple communications capability so that the glider can report its status and receive commands would make it possible to pilot the gliders remotely under ice. In addition, the capability to command a glider at ranges of several hundred kilometers would make it possible to navigate them far under the ice cap, then direct them to pick-up areas at the edge of the ice, or where an ice-breaker is positioned.During this project, we will work with Arctic scientists to define requirements and applications, develop prototype signals and experimental hardware, test the signals during a cruises of opportunity, analyze the data, and then develop a first-generation test system. The results will be directly useful for WHOI scientists engaged in Arctic research.

BANGOR (AP) — Bangor police have charged a man with assaulting a woman with a field hockey stick.
Police responded to a 911 call at about 12:45 p.m. Wednesday from a man who said he was attacked by two men and a woman who had knives and brass knuckles.
When police caught up with the man who made the call, 29-year-old Christopher Stone, he told them he had been attacked in a dispute over a cellphone. Stone was carrying a field hockey stick.
The responding officer became suspicious because Stone had no injuries consistent with being assaulted with knives or brass knuckles.
Police determined that Stone was the aggressor and had used the stick to beat a woman about the upper body and head.
He was charged with aggravated assault and other offenses.

A nice, unknown and never before published route up good rock. It is similar in grade to Costantini Ghedina, whose finish it shares. The final three pitches, and in particular the short pitch above the ledge, are the hardest.
Drive to Rifugio Dibona, at the foot of the Tofana di Rozes. This is reached from Cotina by driving towards Passo Falzarego, past Pocol and few hairpin bends, and turning off right up onto the dirt track following signs for the refuge.
Approach the base of the pillar as already described and walk left towards the arête, before returning to the center of the pillar along the ledge from where the route starts. Allow about 30 minutes for the walk-in.
Traverse along the ledge towards the Punta Marietta buttress. Walk down the scree and ledges to the base of the buttress, and then walk around this on exposed terrain. Now descend past huge boulders to the rifugio Giussani.
Some pegs and bolts protect the harder sections: bring a set of wires and friends (Camalot 1-2-3) for the cracks.

Discover Morocco in style on an adventure from Casablanca to Marrakech through Chefchaouen, Fes, Sahara and Atlas Mountains.
Morocco's culture is tightly intertwined. A blur of national identity and religion, this country's history is a diverse tapestry, as varied as the colours woven into each carpet sold on the street. Since ancient times French, Spanish, Islamic, Jewish and ancient Berber dynasties have brought their own ethnic thread to the needlepoint, and have together knitted a vibrantly distinct region of West Africa. Journey into Morocco's heart through its food, religion, language and culture to better understand this exciting nation and passionate people.
Visit the grand Mosque of Hassan II in Casablanca, one of the most impressive temples in Morocco, before exploring the sights of the country's first imperial city of Meknes
Under the eye of a local tour guide, feel like you've travelled back to the Middle Ages in the labyrinthine medina of Fes
Trek through scenic countryside and traditional villages in the Atlas Mountains. Stay in a traditional Berber homestay to understand the culture and tradition of an indigenous population who have stood the test of time
For many people, their dream of Morocco is a camel trek or walk through the dramatic red dunes of the Sahara Desert to camp under North African stars. This trip provides you with the opportunity to do just that
Go behind the scenes of Game of Thrones and Gladiator in Ait Benhaddou. This fortified red city was once an important stop on the caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech – now it's a film-maker's heaven
Take a guided tour through Marrakech's lively medina and join the nightly carnival of fortune-tellers, dancers and medicine men in Djemaa el-Fna square
This trip includes a full day tour around the Medina of Fes on Day 4. You will be walking and on your feet at least five to six hours, this is one of the highlights of Morocco and well worth any weariness at the end of the long day.
On Day 7, the group will take a camel trek through the Sahara. This is a great way to experience the desert, but if you'd prefer, it's possible to walk alongside the caravan on the sand for about an hour. You'll need to walk back the same distance the next morning, but don't worry, as it is a gentle, relaxing walk.
On Day 9 you'll visit M'Goun Valley and Todra Gorge. This remote area of Morocco is an amazing place to discover on foot, but to do so you'll need a moderate level of fitness and have the relevant footwear and clothing with you. Don't worry if trekking isn't really your thing, there are other activities to do in the valley.
The weather in Morocco can be extreme. Summer temperatures can be uncomfortably hot, especially for those who aren't accustomed to the heat, so please consider carefully what time of year you travel. If you do travel in the warmer months, pack layers to cover you from the sun, bring the necessary sun protection and drink plenty of water.
In 2018, Ramadan will take place from 15 May to 14 June. This is the holiest month of the year for Muslims around the world. Many festivals are marked as Islamic Holidays, which may cause some disturbance to your travels around this time. Some regular services may not be available or open during the daytime, such as restaurants or coffee bars. Please consider your travel arrangements carefully.
As Morocco has a tipping culture, travellers are expected to tip small amounts for most services, so please be prepared. Your trip leader and the tipping section of our Essential Trip Information will help to provide you with some suggestions as to what amounts are appropriate.
Although you shouldn't expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, please be aware that you may be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods to you on regular occasions.
We've sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Intrepid style of travel, but please note that service and accommodation in Morocco may differ to western standards.
This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. View the itinerary for departures between 01 January 2019 - 31 December 2019

Complimentary arrival transfer is included on this trip, but please note it has to be pre booked at least 2 weeks prior to your departure. Please advise your exact arrival details; flight number, date and time. We will be unable to provide complimentary transfer without these details.
The receipt of commissions or kickbacks in exchange for recommending particular shops, services or activities is ingrained in the culture of the Moroccan tourism industry. In an effort to best control and monitor shopping and activities with an aim for the best experience possible, Intrepid has established a system of carefully selected shopping experiences and activities based on positive feedbacks from our previous travellers. On occasion these will be as part of included walking tours or outside of included activities in free time.

Intrepid have set up a centralised system of receiving payments from these recommended suppliers, of which are then distributed towards local Responsible Travel projects (such as 'say no to plastic' cotton bags for our travellers and drinking water refilling stations), traveller information packs, and leader bonuses. Further details of these arrangements can be provided by your group leader on request.
While Intrepid endeavors to ensure that these suppliers and services maintain reasonable levels of quality, please note recommended suppliers are chosen based on past travellers feedback and experiences and Intrepid cannot explicitly guarantee the quality of the product. A priority in establishing this fund is that the experience of you our traveller is not compromised in any way. Please let us know via the feedback after your trip if we are successfully meeting this objective.
Our Morocco Uncovered trips score an average of 4.81 out of 5 based on 428 reviews in the last year.
This trip was a fascinating insight into all aspects of Morocco and its culture. The Sahara, the Blue City and M'Goun Valley were all special highlights, but everyday was amazing, from the bustling medinas of Fes and Marrakesh to the small villages. Travel with an open mind and you will love it!

10 Steps to Choosing the Pharmacy That's Right for You
February 12, 2013
Table of Contents
1. The Pharmacy Staff MUST be HIV Sensitive
Your medications are a crucial component of your treatment plan for HIV. The pharmacist and the pharmacy staff are important members of your health care team. It is very important that the members of the staff at the pharmacy are HIV sensitive and that you feel comfortable and welcome at the pharmacy.
Pharmacy staff must be non-judgmental, non-homophobic and non-AIDS-phobic. Some examples of HIV insensitivity are the following (these are real examples that have happened to clients):
Since you have to take your antiretroviral medications for the rest of your life, you will be building a long, strong relationship with your pharmacist and pharmacy staff. It is essential that you feel comfortable and at ease with your pharmacy.
2. Your Pharmacist and Pharmacy Staff MUST Be Knowledgeable About HIV
Is the staff able to answer all your questions and concerns with regard to HIV and related issues? Is your pharmacist an HIV expert with HIV credentials? An HIV expert pharmacist with HIV credentials is a pharmacist who has undergone additional or specialized training in HIV, and is an expert in HIV medications, side effects, drug-drug interactions, adherence and other HIV medication-related issues. Pharmacists are usually credentialed through the American Academy of HIV Medicine or through the HIV certification program at the University of Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
3. Avoid Pharmacies Offering Kickbacks! Where Do Your Meds Come From?
A kickback is something the pharmacy offers you to switch pharmacies and to lure you away from your current pharmacy. Kickbacks include things like cell phones, gift cards, iPods, or paying you and your friends to switch pharmacies. This is an ILLEGAL practice, and if you accept these things you could be held liable if the authorities crack down on the pharmacy! Avoid these incentives. The BEST thing your pharmacy can offer you is PRICELESS: It is the information, education and care you receive. It can save your life!
Does your pharmacy purchase their HIV meds from a reputable drug wholesaler? Some pharmacies participate in illegal practices and purchase their medications from small wholesalers that obtain medications through illegal means, such as reselling drugs that they get from HIV clients, buying drugs from shady pharmacies or tampering with and repackaging HIV medications. These "shady" wholesalers offer drugs to pharmacies at much lower costs than the pharmacy could buy it for from one of the major drug wholesalers. This drug fraud has resulted in HIV clients getting "used medication" and medications where the meds have been changed and are not the actual medication or dosage that you doctor has prescribed. What the prescription label says and what is actually contained in the bottle are two different things.
Getting medications of this kind can be CATASTROPHIC to you because:
Actual examples of this are the following:
Drug fraud is a problem, and authorities have been cracking down where possible:
You have the right to ask your pharmacist which wholesaler they use! The major wholesalers in the United States are Amerisource-Bergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson.

Patent Hawk Files Supreme Court Brief On Behalf Of All Oregon; Oregon Officials Say 'Who?'
from the good-work! dept
Now, with the Supreme Court agreeing to hear the Bilski case, which could have a big impact on the patentability of software and business models, a bunch of folks have been dutifully filing their amici briefs attempting to convince the Supreme Court one way or the other. These latest briefs more or less reflect what was in the original briefs filed prior to the CAFC ruling. Still, there was one interesting one: Odom and a buddy filed their own brief (which Odom, again in the third person praised his own brief as being "cogently potent in its brevity and conservatism" -- nothing like patting oneself on the back).
The brief itself is fine (though I believe a bit misleading in what it leaves out... but that's what these briefs tend to do). However, what stood out, was the odd claim on the brief that it was filed on behalf of the State of Oregon (where Odom resides). That's quite a claim... and it appears the State of Oregon, in the form of its Attorney General, doesn't agree with Odom that this represents the state:
Tony Green, a spokesman for the Oregon Attorney General, said no one in his office had heard of Odom's purported statewide representation before [Joe Mullin at The Prior Art] called. "It is our preference that people accurately convey who they're writing an amicus brief on behalf of," says Green. "We neither authorized this or had any knowledge of it."Of course, Green also points out that the Supreme Court figured out that Odom's claim to represent the State of Oregon was backed up with about as much weight as his typical insults, and properly filed the brief as just being from Odom and his friend, rather than the state of Oregon.

Former commissioner Roy Kramer remembers all the fretting when the Southeastern Conference started its own championship game two decades ago.
League coaches were especially worried, fearing an extra contest would make it harder to win a national title.
It sure didn't work out that way. The SEC has ruled like no other conference, capturing an unprecedented six straight national championships. Alabama will try to make it seven in a row when it takes on Notre Dame for the BCS crown Monday night in Miami.
In 2014, there will be another momentous change, spurred in part by the dominance down South. Undoubtedly, there are plenty of folks in the rest of the country hoping the four-team playoff will make it tougher for the SEC to pile up trophies with such regularity.

Humans of New York
Brandon, a street photographer in New York City. Was approached by a representative of DKNY who asked to purchase 300 of his photos to hang in their store windows "around the world.†They offered $15,000. He asked for more money. They said "no.†Then they used them anyway without an agreement.

Rima Geffen said (1 Mar 2013):
Ive read your story about DKNY....wow, how cheap can they get...absolutely you should get compensation for your pics. Not only should they donate 100,000 dollars to the YMCA...they need to give you plenty cash for using your pics....in fact, I would even sue them. How rude of a large Corp. So typical.
Sue Pelley said (1 Mar 2013):
I agree that they should donate the money but he still should be paid for his pictures. That is terrible
Q: How do you favorite a photo?
A: Do you know?

I have configured my STouch Phonegap project to have the www project subdirectory outside of the initial project directory so that I could make edits in an external editor (ColdFusion Builder based on Eclipse) for browser based debugging rather than alway running through the iPhone emulator.
Now even though I can see UI changes in the main application js source file I don't seem to be able to build these changes to show in the emulator. I have tried editing the source in xcode and saving to no avail. Also, touching the file and fiddling with the path type of the primary code folder (named 'remote').
I have also tried Clean All Targets and then rebuilt with no change in the behavior. Seems like it is still referencing an older version of the js source.
Any insights appreciated.
BC - resolved by renaming the web assets subdirectory to 'www' and now even splitting the project between web and other resources works fine.

It's the annual event that, along with football, signals the return of autumn.
It's the annual event that, along with football, signals the return of autumn.
The countdown until the North La. Cotton Festival and Fair, slated for September, is rapidly approaching with new activities in store for everyone this year.
In addition to the exciting midway, carnival food and festive music, the coordinators have planned events for festival goers of all ages.
"All veterans and active military will get in free Thursday night," said exhibit director Jo Ann Blazier. "They need to bring some form of military ID."
Blazier said they're bringing back Kindergarden Day again this year. This is scheduled to take place from 9 a.m. to noon on Sept. 14.
"Inside we'll have demonstrations such as paintings, art, someone making butter, crocheting and someone making jewelry," she said. "We'll have animals in the barn for them to look at and sometime during this time, they'll be able to ride the rides for $3."
Blazier said vehicles from the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Dep., Bastrop Police and Fire departments, the National Guard and Med Life Ambulance Service will be on hand for the children to view. "I wrote letters to the children, telling them to bring a sack lunch," she said.
The theme of the Cotton Festival this year is "The Joy of Art."
"Artists from all over Northeast Louisiana have been submitting paintings to be judged before the festival begins," Blazier said. "First-place will receive $500, second-place gets $300 and third-place is $150."
Blazier said the Freckled Frog Photo Contest will also be judged and displayed for festival goers.
"This is a picture contest for ages starting from infants to four years old," she said. "The pictures must be in an 8 by 10 frame and ready to be hung. Each entry must also be accompanied with a birth certificate."
The first-place winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to the Freckled Frog clothing store on the square. Second-place will receive a $75 gift certificate and third-place will get a $50 gift certificate.
Entries for the art contest and Freckled Frog contest must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Sept. 7.
The North La. Cotton Festival and Fair will be from Sept. 12–16.
The Joe Pate Exhibit Building will be open from 5–9 p.m. on Wed.-Fri. and all day Saturday.
The rides, Mitchell Brothers Amusements, will be open at 5 p.m. on Sept. 12, and closes at 6 p.m. on Sept. 16.
Gates will open at 5 p.m. to the public on Wed. - Fri., 9:30 a.m. on Sat. and noon on Sun. For more information, call the fairgrounds at 281.1406.
