'Say her guy is 25 – he's definitely not ready for that.'He probably wants to wait five years for that kind of thing, maybe even longer.'I think younger guys are more fun and more adventurous than guys my age, plus they tend to have nicer bodies and a fresh/positive attitude to life!
20 year old dating 16 wrong
You can't tell a young person's age by just looking at them, so ask and, if in doubt, don't!
You are responsible for your behaviour and would be committing an offence if you have sex with someone aged under 16, even if you met them in a bar or club for over-18s.
Plus, research says that women hit their sexual prime later than men,so you may well be doing yourself a favour going younger.
Raff, 27 (who's in a longterm relationship with someone a year and a half older) points out a major flaw in some older woman/younger man partnerships, from his previous experience.
If this situation rings bells for you, then maybe you are experiencing domestic abuse.
Call Galop to contact the London LGBT Domestic Abuse Partnership for help and advice.
The first guy I properly dated was exactly a year younger than me (we shared the same birthday, I thought it was meant to be) and the last guy I dated was four years younger than me.
I recently found out that a musician I have a crush on is 21. However, women dating younger men isn't weird to me – my dad is younger than my mum, my uncle is way younger than my aunty and my brother is younger than his wife. Me and my best friends have a running joke that we always fancy hot, younger guys (We'll always have a thing for fresh-faced indie boys, God love 'em). ) and thought I'd increase my age limit to 39 to see if there were any silver foxes about. You could smell the desperation through the phone – it was like they had their mum breathing down their necks asking for grandkids.
The Legal Age of Consent The law says that everyone must be aged 16 before they can have sex.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — When Jennifer Houghton started making hats for her infant daughter a year ago, she had no idea it was the beginning of a new company that would make a big contribution to the town's lively village center.
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — When Jennifer Houghton started making hats for her infant daughter a year ago, she had no idea it was the beginning of a new company that would make a big contribution to the town's lively village center.
From the time Houghton was a small girl setting up a yard sale at the end of the driveway in their rural area to the present, she has had a love and a knack for retail businesses.
In her shop at the busy intersection of Routes 236 and 4, Houghton sells her handmade children's hats, traditional toys and locally handcrafted items like booties, blankets, mittens and bonnets to soaps and essential oils.
Upstairs over the store, a large room is used for weekly children's story time and seminars for young entrepreneurs.
Houghton explained how she began her business.
"It started when my third child was 3 months old," she said. "I grew up in a very Yankee family in traditional New Hampshire (where they said) 'Put a hat on that child — whether it was sun or winter cold.'"
Unable to find what she wanted, Houghton said, she decided to sew her own.
"I was so frustrated, so I went to Joanne's Fabrics and found some really funky prints that were oversized — things you wouldn't normally put on a kid (and) so I went home and literally made a hat she could wear in her stroller or her car seat.
"I was so proud of myself," she said. "I hadn't been to work in six years."
When she showed her hats to a friend, Bobby Gagnon, the response was immediate and positive.
"I want six of those for all those baby showers, and I'm paying you," Gagnon told Houghton.
That started the ball rolling.
"I made them up, and then she showed them to Jody (Breneman, co-owner of G. Willikers! Toy Shop) in Portsmouth," she said. "All my friends were so encouraging.
"'You should do this,'" they said. "'You should start something — you should make these hats.'"
Another friend encouraged her to make up 20 hats for the Strawberry Festival in South Berwick in late June 2006.
"I made up 20, but it was a struggle — it took forever because I hadn't developed all the production processes," Houghton said. "Meanwhile, Jody at G. Willikers! asked to see them and took all 20, so I didn't have any left for the Strawberry Festival."
Then Houghton picked out five local stores and approached them with her hats.
While her daughter, Libby, was wearing her hat to school, friends were spreading the word and Houghton said she was getting orders for retail direct. Her dining room "turned into a sewing room, and the business just kept growing and growing."
"That's how it got started," she said.
At that point, Houghton said, she began to feel overwhelmed, but just then, an acquaintance who said she was looking for some kind of work offered to help her.
"If you don't need the money, join me," Houghton said she told her friend. "I'll give you one third of the company, and we'll see just how huge we can make this Little Hat Company."
She and her partners would go around to the children's boutiques in the region and "sell the hats out of the back of our car," she said.
Houghton and her business partner, Susan Page, created a simple mission statement: "Family first, no drama and let's make this Little Hat Company as huge as possible."
"We did not bother with a business plan because startups are so dynamic," she said.
Houghton described how they opened their first store in South Berwick.
"It was a year ago, and I was getting a lot of good press, and people were literally driving to my door and asking to buy hats, but I was talking to Joe (Rousselle, the town code enforcement officer) and I knew it was a no-no (to start an in-home business in her neighborhood)," she said.
Walking her daughter to school, she ran into a friend who owned property near Fogarty's Restaurant on Main Street and asked him if he had any vacant property, she said.
"Yeah, sure," he said. "There's a place that's been sitting empty for three years. Let's go look at it."
Later that afternoon after seeing the location, which she said was "a real mess," Houghton decided to lease the space.
"We'd wait until 8 p.m., when our daughters were asleep and then go down there and clear out all that junk. It was really hard work," she said.
At first, Houghton said, they were only going to set up a production process and only sell hats. However, her customers began asking for gifts to go with the hats.
Acquiring the initial inventory of toys without capital was a challenge, said Houghton. The first attempts to contact toy companies failed to get a response.
Then Houghton sent an e-mail directly to Melissa, the president of Melissa and Doug's Toys, telling her how much the company had grown and saying that they just wanted to start with $500 worth of their toys, which she said would be paid for on her own credit card.
To her surprise, two hours later, a representative from the company arrived with $6,000 worth of inventory, she said.
"We went from having hats and a few toys to having a full-fledged toy store that we launched down there (on Main Street)," Houghton said. "We opened on 'Holiday Arts' day and did almost $1,000 that day."
Currently, there are four owners of the limited liability corporation with members, as she described it.
"We share in the profits — when there are profits — by the percentage of ownership," she said.
Houghton's enthusiasm for the work and her ability to spot and reward talent, appear to play a major part in the success and rapid growth of the company.
"Funny thing is I'm the only one with a business background," she said. "All the women who have come in have special talents for special areas."
Looking toward the future, Houghton plans to develop the mail order side of the business.
"Martha Stewart's magazine called us and asked us to become an advertiser. While that's hugely exciting, we have a lot to do to become prepared on our back end to support that," she said.
Houghton said the company's Web site looks "home grown," and the first priority would be to create a Web site that "looks like you're dealing with Macy's."
"There has to be trust the moment the page opens for your conversions to be strong," said Houghton.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 485197
Cannot get iso file's location and cdrom when using qemu to ssh node and creating a kvm
Last modified: 2016-04-26 10:58:42 EDT
Description of problem:
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1.# virt-manager
2.Click File-> Add connection
3.Select "QEMU" in "Hypervisor"
4.Select "Remote tunnel over SSH" in "Connection"
5.Input the host name of ovirt-node
6.Click "connect" button and input password
7.Click "Forward" to "Locating installation media"
Actual results:
If fill the right iso location of ovirt-node,it prompts "ISO Path not found".
Have inserted a CD on the ovirt-node,it can not find it,too.
Expected results:
It should find the file location and cdrom.
Additional info:
I create a kvm on ovirt-node and try to start it.
It prompts "Could not initialize SDL -exiting".I think this may be no graphics.So when trying to check kvm on ovirt-node,there is only the ssh way,right?
when running qemu-kvm direcly, please use -vnc option
The rest is virt-manager issue, which version/OS is it?
Please change component accordingly.
But I'm not sure if virt-manager is using libvirt's Storage API already?.
David Huff was also trying to use virt-manager with the remote RHEV-H.
David, do you have BZ for your issue?
This issue should really be filed against RHEL not RHEV-H since for RHEV-H we don't support virt-manager with the Node. I'm going to move this to be a RHEL5.4 bug.
(In reply to comment #1)
> The rest is virt-manager issue, which version/OS is it?
> Please change component accordingly.
OS:Fedora10 i386
I don't think this is a bug. If you are inserting a CD on the remote machine, the only way virt-manager is going to know whether it exists or not is if the cdrom device is part of a libvirt storage pool.
Please see http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/page/RemoteVMCreation for more details.
Closing as NOTABUG.

What truly are the reasons, if summed up, that a guy
falls for a girl:
– Her face (75 %)
– Her smartness (45 %)– Availability (50 %)
– Hotness (85 %)
– Friendship (20 %)
– Your own state (40 %)
If these reasons are taken and told, they would
sound like:
– I love you because you are so beautiful.
– I love you because you are so smart.
– I love you because you were available and I was looking
for a girlfriend.
– I love you because you are so hot.
– I love you because we were such good friends.
– I love you because I'd lost my entire savings in Gambling
and felt broken and alone; and I needed someone, anyone
in my life.
Most of the reasons sound weird, but factually,
majority of guys actually say these lines.
Q. 1 – How is this different from what her ex boyfriend
might have said, and the thousand people who tell her
this same thing everyday?
Q. 2- Does she really want to hear this?
The answers to both of these questions are negative and
demand an improvement. So what do you say when a Girl
asks you: Why do you Love me?
1) Because I have never met such an awesome person in
my life.
Use lines such as:
– Very simply, you are awesome.
– Why do we become friends with people?
Because they are awesome. Why do we fall in love with a
person? Because they are awesomer than awesome; and
that's you.
– You're the most awesome person I have met in my
life. I love you not because of anything except for this
fact. If I think for days, I wouldn't be able to come up
with any person that is even close to being as awesome
as you are.
– You're fun; you are such a great talker; you have such a
beautiful mind; you're so different from other mean, stupid
people; you're the most amazing girl I have ever met in my
life; and quite simply, I didn't fall for you because you are
incredibly beautiful or mind-blowingly out-of-my-league, I
fell for you because you have no match. And I think I am
the luckiest man to have you in my life.
what to say when A GIRL asks 'Why do you love me'
What truly are the reasons, if summed up, that a guy

Ukrainian International Master Valeri Bronznik lives and works in Germany. He has written a number of highly acclaimed books, such as 'Techniques of Positional Play'. Steve Giddins is a FIDE Master and a former editor of British Chess Magazine. He's the author of several outstanding books and is well known for his clarity and no-nonsense advice.
"The variation retains surprise effect and remains playable to this day, with this work explaining both the theory and the key ideas behind Black's approach." CHESS Magazine "A very good book which offers a relatively simple Sicilian system." -- Dirk Schuh, International Master "The funnily-named Basman-Sale variation is prospering. It has lost its place among rare variations in which Black scores 50 percent, but the variation is a live and kicking. When I wrote my first Survey in Yearbook 73 (2004), there were 424 games in MegaBase 2004, with Black scoring a respectable 50 percent. Today, MegaBase 2015 has 1581 games and Black's score is 46 percent." -- Srdjan Sale, International Master, Yearbook 117 "Well represented and neatly organized, with a good balance between prose and variations." -- Carsten Hansen ChessCafe.com "Of course, no opening is quite as easy to learn as the publicity might suggest because there are transpositions and critical lines just like any other line. However, if you stick with 4...Bc5 then the long-term experience will certainly help you to handle the positions better than White who might only rarely come across the variation. Nowadays, anybody with computer software is a critic so there has been a suggestion on chess forums that the line: 5 Be3 Qb6 is refuted by 6 b4. The short answer is no and the long answer is that after 6...Bxb4+ 7 c3 Be7 the chances are roughly equal. A book full of inspirational ideas for players who wish to play something a bit different." -- Gary Lane, International Master British Chess Magazine "The Lazy Man's Sicilian is fun and offers lots of original positions." -- Jeremy Silman, International Master, author of "How to Reasses Your Chess" "On a lazy day I am certainly going to try this." -- Florian Jacobs Max Euwe Center, Amsterdam "A good way to understand an opening and surprise future opponents." Chess Moves Magazine "I can highly recommend this original and diligently-researched book to everyone." -- John Watson The Week in Chess, on the original German edition "A must-have opening book." Elburg Chess Reviews "The writing style is a nice combination of strategy, sensible clear logic and a touch of humor (...) The new edition does contain a fair proportion of recent developments and Giddins has added in home analysis to bolster his case." -- Glenn Flear

Can't get date range script to work
Hello I have written a script so we can enter date ranges via global fields that are on a separate layout. The first script going to the global date layout works. The 2nd script going to the data layout where I want to run a report by date ranges isn't.
I keep getting an error message " the provided find criteria is not valid". I have been through all the posts and can't find where I am going wrong. It would be great if you could help.
It gets better - I can't seem to copy and paste the script even with FM so am typing it here:
Enter Find Mode []
Perform Find []
Set Field [Quote Information::Date Quote Accepted ; Quote Information::GlobalStartDate & "..." & Quote Information::GlobalEndDate]
Enter Preview Mode
Sort Records by Filed [Ascending; Quote Information::Date Quote Accepted]
The script stops on the Date Quote Accepted Layout on the wrong field with the error message
I am also trying to do a manual sort as it doesn't seem to want to do that either
Once this is working I then need to get the Date Range on my Report Heading - some help with that would be great once this has been sorted
thanks for your help

It's almost time for the 52nd annual Festival of the Arts. From July 12-15, downtown State College will transform back into the festival that features some of our favorite...
For PSU students, there's nothing like Nittanyville
UNIVERSITY PARK – On seven autumn Saturdays every year, State College is flooded with tens of thousands of football frenzied Nittany Lions fans.
But for a select group of Penn State students, the celebration of Blue and White football extends far beyond the confines of a Saturday filled with tailgates and touchdowns.
Since the Sunday before Penn State's 17-10 victory over Ohio State in October of 2005, it's become tradition for rows of tents to line Gate A of Beaver Stadium in the days preceding home football games. Once called Paternoville, the campout has adopted the name Nittanyville and is now an official club with over 18,000 Twitter followers.
"I just wanted to be able to do it once," said Jason Nguyen, a sophomore who recently took part in Nittanyville for the first time. "It's an experience that everyone's got to do at least one time just to say they did it."
Because any Penn State student can participate, many choose to do it on a whim. The only regulation is that the leader of each group, which can consist of up to 10 people, must register his/her troop at 9 p.m. on the Wednesday before the game. They then have an hour to get their parties to Gate A, where at least one member must be present at all times until 7 a.m. on Saturday. The prize: front row seats in the student section.
"I think we're behind the goalposts, so that's pretty awesome," said Michael Choven, another Nittanyville first-timer. "We're still trying to decide on our sign. None of (our ideas) are good. People would laugh at me if I said the ones I thought of."
Nittanyvillers have different strategies for braving the elements, and while this was a mild weather week, sleeping on the cement ground is a test of will for some.
"I highly recommend bringing air mattresses," Nguyen said. "We just brought blankets and laid them down. Four blankets stacked on top of each other was not enough. You feel it in your back the next day."
Part of the beauty of Nittanyville is that little-to-no planning is involved. All a group needs is a tent and able-bodied Nittany Lions fans who are willing to pitch a tepee and enjoy the weather.
"I got roped into it on Wednesday," sophomore Katie Bakaysa said with a laugh. "I was told I was doing it, so I showed up. It sounded like fun."
Because many students have class to attend and other responsibilities to tend to, day shifts are usually mellow hours filled with utilizing stadium Wi-Fi and doing homework.
Caroline Clements, a senior in Chovan's group, spent close to 12 hours at Nittanyville before she went home to shower, attend class and an interview. Another member of their group, senior Emily Obusek, was rooted to her tent from 4:30 p.m. Thursday until 3:30 p.m. Friday, when she had to go to a meeting.
"It's just something you check off the Penn State bucket list," Obusek said. "Here we are as seniors, getting that list down."
During the very first Nittanyville in 2005, an estimated hundred tents popped up in front of the student entrance. During Georgia State week, there were about twenty, but the sense of community is no less strong, especially when the sun sets on Happy Valley.
Prior to the Georgia State game, members of the Penn State women's volleyball team and the football team's wide receiver corps visited the tent city bearing gifts of pizza and cookies. Nittanyvillers got to play badminton in the streets, and even showed school spirit prior to retreating to their tents for the night.
"All together right out front (of Gate A) we sang a bunch of our fight songs," Nguyen said. "We sang the alma mater before everyone went to sleep, and it was a lot of fun."
As Penn State continues its momentous rise to the upper echelon of college football, Nittanyville continues to thrive as a proud and dedicated community.
Many Penn State students consider joining Nittanyville at least once a "must" before they graduate, and the reasons extend beyond getting great seats and time on the Beaver Stadium big board.
"My favorite part is definitely just the bonding you do with your friends," Nguyen said. "There's nothing like a tiny little tent and all your friends being crammed together, whether you're doing homework or playing card games to pass the time, it's just a fun time."

Welcome to the blog dedicated to exposing my weird sense of humor for your enjoyment with a hint of environmental friendliness. When I'm not writing about crazy happenings in my day to day life, I'm making people aware of the environment and how they can do their part to keep it clean. I'm not the Go Green Nazi & I'm not saying you have to be Davie Crockett w/ your coonskin cap or force your family to live like the Swiss Family Robensons- just a simple plant on your desk at work or sitting out on your back patio is fine. If I can get just one person to even think & be more aware of the environment around them, I know I've played my part in helping out, no matter how small it may seem.

I had the honor of interviewing Zen comics creator and storyboard graphics founder Stephen L stern-
Me: So my first question is, for those that aren't familiar with you, tell us some about you and your company
SS: I'm the writer/creator of the indie comic-book Zen: Intergalactic Ninja that was first published in 1987. Zen spawned two videogames, a line of action figures, and numerous other licensed products, and has since sold over 3 million comics. Our newest issue, now published by Devil's Due/First Comics, is Zen: Hard Bounty #1, the first in a six-issue miniseries, that will arrive in comics shops in October. Devil's Due/1First Comics is my exclusive publisher at the moment.
In 2011, I founded Storyboard Graphic Novels, which adapts screenplays into comics and graphic novels for screenwriters, producers, directors and actors.
Me: Awesome!, what is zen about?, and which projects has storyboard graphic got to work on?
SS: Zen was created in a test-tube, as part of a genetic experiment, but when the experiment was deemed a failure, he was to have been disposed of. However, a kindly female scientist realized he was very much alive, and jettisoned him into space in a waste pod. Fate brought the pod into the gravitational pull of the planet OM, where Zen was raised by the fabled mystic masters. He eventually became their greatest acolyte, and when he reached maturity, they presented him with a gleaming Hypership, so that he could return to space to find his true destiny. Thus far, his destiny has been to be a bounty-hunter, a mercenary, and a soldier-of-fortune.
Storyboard Graphic Novels has produced any number of comics series and graphic novels for our clients. They range from sci-fi and horror books to comedies, as well as superhero books. Many of our clients self-publish their books on Amazon…examples would be the GN's Monkey Room and Eons, both by Louis Rosenberg, and the GN Eli, by Adrian Fuller. Readers can 'Look Inside' all of those books.
Me: Awesome!, and that's been going on for almost 30 years in various incarnations?, there ever going to be a movie?, and for your company, you've adapted movies, such as Beowulf?
SS: Yes, Zen's been around since 1987, first as a self-published book, then published by Archie Comics, to tie in with our videogames and action figures, and then by an independent publisher called Entity Comics. As I mentioned, we're now published by Devil's Due/1First Comics. Interesting that you ask about a possible Zen movie. There is some movement in that regard, but I'm not at liberty to talk about it as yet. Stay tuned!
The Beowulf GN was written by me and published by a leading British GN house called Markosia. The book had no relationship to the movie, other than that both were based upon the epic poem. Markosia also published my A Christmas Carol GN. Neither of these books were a Storyboard project.
Me: You'll definitely have to let me know ASAP!, lol, what are your current/upcoming projects?
SS: Storyboard is currently working on several comic and GN projects for our clients.
On the personal side, I have two new books in addition to Zen. One of them is Frickin' Butt-Kickin' Zombie Ants, and the other is Serving Supes. Details on both books are available at the 1firstcomics.com website.
I also have a graphic novel coming out in 2016 called Majestic Comics. It's a largely-autobiographical, 160-page GN about the inside workings of the comic-book industry.
Me: Definitely alot going on!, and your site offers help with publishing?, through first comics?
SS: Storyboard's primary mandate is to create comics and graphic novels for our clients. We do offer suggestions as to publishing, and I personally have the option of presenting promising projects to my publisher.
Me: What excites you about a project?,
and how do you choose what you want to present for publishing?,
SS: Those projects that I personally feel would be a good fit with my publisher, I present to them for their consideration. We have a confidentiality clause in all of our contracts, so I won't go so far as to indicate which projects I may have pitched to my publisher, and what ultimately happened with them…that's a very small part of what we do, anyway.
What excites me personally about a project is a unique voice, in terms of the writing, and a great visual style. What constitutes these qualities is strictly a matter of what appeals to my particular set of sensibilities.
Me: The main part being storyboarding graphics for them?, and that's separate from your own books?
SS: The first step in the process is, we write a graphic novel or comic-book script adaptation of the screenplay, which then is penciled. The client has complete approval of the book at all steps in the process…he/she approves the script adaptation, the pencils, and then the inks. If the book is in color, the next step is colorization, and the final step is lettering.(4-5 steps)script adaptation, pencils, inks, colors(If needed)and letters.
Me: So I heard you were on the daily show back in the show, tell us some about that
SS: We had pulled a fun publicity stunt back in 1999, conducting a boycott of the sitcom Third Rock From the Sun for portraying ET's as essentially morons. The Daily Show picked up on it and interviewed me. Reporter Nancy Walls (who later married Steve Carrell) came with the crew to the apartment complex I was living in at the time in Studio City and taped the interview there.
Me: Nice publicity stunt!, thank you so much for this interview!
SS: My pleasure, Bryan!

The challenges of aggregating data from consumer-oriented devices, such as wearable technologies and smart thermostats, are fairly well-understood. However, there are a new set of challenges for IoT devices that generate megabytes or gigabytes of data per second. Certainly, the infrastructure will have to change, as those volumes of data will likely overwhelm the available bandwidth for aggregating the data into a central repository. Ochandarena discusses a whole new way to think about your next...

Cell networks have the advantage of long-range communications, reaching an estimated 90% of the world. But cell networks such as 2G, 3G and LTE consume lots of power and were designed for connecting people. They are not optimized for low- or battery-powered devices or for IoT applications with infrequently transmitted data. Cell IoT modules that support narrow-band IoT and 4G cell networks will enable cell connectivity, device management, and app enablement for low-power wide-area network IoT. B...

When talking IoT we often focus on the devices, the sensors, the hardware itself. The new smart appliances, the new smart or self-driving cars (which are amalgamations of many 'things'). When we are looking at the world of IoT, we should take a step back, look at the big picture. What value are these devices providing. IoT is not about the devices, its about the data consumed and generated. The devices are tools, mechanisms, conduits. This paper discusses the considerations when dealing with the...

I felt a bit like someone who finds a neglected cat or dog: how could anyone throw away this treasure? There ought to be homes for unwanted dollhouses.This poor house was not just thrown away, it had been maltreated. It wasn't painted, either on the inside or outside. And it was full of silly half-broken furniture.
I moved the furniture to my antique shop and gave a the house a good scrub. That was all I could do until next weekend.But I ordered The Authentic Tudor and Stuart Dolls' House from amazon.

Herndon, VA (PRWEB) March 21, 2012
The Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) announced today a $125,000 investment in iTi Health, Inc., of Charlottesville, Va., whose proprietary technology identifies a protein biomarker in the early stages of pancreatic cancer.
CIT President and CEO Pete Jobse said, "iTi Health's innovative technology addresses the need for earlier identification of cancerous diseases within the body, a pioneering discovery that will change the lives of many. With CIT's investment, iTi Health will enrich the life sciences industry in the Commonwealth of Virginia."
iTi Health's platform technology, PHAGEMARK™, rapidly identifies novel disease and drug-response targets. By focusing on the validation of its lead imaging product, Plectiscan™, which detects the target for pancreatic cancer, known as plectin, iTi Health will address the at-risk population for this disease – an estimated 900,000 individuals per year in the U.S. In studies on over 100 human pancreatic tumors, there is a 100% correlation between cancer presence and the expression of plectin. Plectin is also detected in nearly two-thirds of advanced precancerous lesions, but not in other benign inflammatory conditions of the pancreas, such as pancreatitis.
iTi Health Co-Founder and CEO Greg Fralish said, "There is a great medical need for new ways to diagnose pancreatic cancer earlier and more effectively. The current standard diagnostic algorithm is costly, complex, invasive and not particularly accurate, leading to numerous expensive and highly invasive surgical resections being misprescribed. iTi Health aims to diagnose this crippling disease definitively and earlier in its progression, fundamentally improving the diagnosis, surgical management and treatment of the disease. We see Plectiscan™ as a transforming diagnostic tool for primary care physicians, surgeons, radiologists, medical oncologists and gastroenterologists. These physicians and their patients need better ways to diagnose and monitor pancreatic cancer."
Tom Weithman, CIT Vice President and GAP Funds Managing Director, said, "Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers. With a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%, a prognosis has not improved in 40 years. iTi Health's plectin imaging test will speed and simplify the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, while facilitating accurate treatment. We feel that iTi Health's life science knowledge also attests to the company's potential to generate exceptional economic returns for the Commonwealth."
Since its 2005 launch, CIT GAP Funds has placed over 60 investments across the Commonwealth, deploying more than $5M of public funds and attracting greater than $10 dollars of private funding for every $1 of public money invested. (For a list of portfolio companies, please visit the GAP Funds website.)

LONDON — Irish Republican Army bomber Patrick Magee, jailed for trying to kill then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her Cabinet in Brighton almost 15 years ago, was freed on Tuesday under Northern Ireland's peace accord.
Magee's release from Belfast's Maze prison, which drew fire from Conservative legislators in London, comes at a time of rising tension in Northern Ireland as the Protestant "marching season" approaches without an agreement to form a new power-sharing government in the province.
Fearful of renewed violence, the British army announced that 1,300 troops that had been withdrawn from Northern Ireland will return to try to head off clashes during the hundreds of upcoming parades commemorating 17th century Protestant victories over Roman Catholics.
The marches begin on July 4 with the Orange Order fraternity's Drumcree-Portadown parade, which is often a flash point for sectarian violence.
The independent Parades Commission is to rule on Monday whether the parade will be allowed to go through a Catholic neighborhood opposed to the march.
Last year the commission blocked the route, triggering a violent siege by Protestant pro-British Orangemen.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern have set a June 30 deadline for Protestants and Catholics to break their deadlock over IRA disarmament and the establishment of a cross-community Northern Ireland government, but neither side shows signs of budging.
Blair and Ahern canceled trips abroad to go to Northern Ireland this week.
But David Trimble, leader of the pro-British Ulster Unionist party and head of the province's would-be administrative body, warned in an article on Tuesday in the Times of London that Blair is losing touch with the Protestant majority of Northern Ireland, and he made it clear he will not sit in a government with the IRA's political wing, Sinn Fein, unless the IRA begins to disarm.

I dug deep into my stash and found some old level 1 pages that were just begging to be used and how perfect that the challenge I used this week was appropriate to the pictures...well almost!
So most of you know that I have a little obsession with CTMH products, I started buying them shortly after I started scrapping back in the early 2000's. I didn't buy much at first, only went to parties and made cards and gifties. My first real consultant was a military wife in Clovis, NM where I lived at the time. But it wasn't till I moved to Lubbock, TX that I really got interested in CTMH, I went to the web site and found Audrey Key, she had the most amazing art work on her website. I've never had a party, I've only ever ordered for myself but I joined her $10 a month club and now I randomly get picked as a hostess at least once a year. This is my lucky month, because I was chosen this month and can't wait to get all the goodies I ordered!
Anyway...back to this challenge, I recently found the Heart 2 Heart CTMH Challenge blog and I was hooked. I don't play along with every challenge because it just doesn't suit me, but those that do I just dive in! The April 8th Challenge: Raindrops Keep Falling... well, I couldn't find in rain photos, I do live in north west Texas after all, but I did find photos from a day last summer when I thought it was going to rain!
So I cut out some clouds and and an umbrella with my silhouette to add to this layout, I even put a little stickles under the first cloud to give a raindrop feel.
The woman in this photo is my dear friend Debbie and we were at her house playing in the pool.
You can see in the photos that the sky was pretty grey and there were some storm looking clouds for awhile, but that didn't stop us from getting in the pool and having a great day.
I used stickles around the clouds and under the first one, the yellow alpha was part of the sticker package I bought along with the kit.
The level one papers were made so all you had to do was add your photos and stickers and you would be done. This page actually had a 9x9 photo mat and I just cropped down my photos to fit 9 on it.
I love that all these fab stickers came with the kit and all I had to do was pop them up with foam squares.
The journal spot is also a sticker.
Here's a couple of angle shots to see the lift of the clouds and stickers and to see the stickles on the edge of the clouds
CTMH supplies:
Boom-di-ada Level 1 paper & stickease; hollyhock & colonial white cardstock; hollyhock ink
Non CTMH supplies:
Stickles diamond; sharpie green pen; silhouette cut outs-umbrella & clouds
Thanks for visiting my blog today!!!

The hatches between the two docked space crafts opened late today, as the crew of the international space station shook hands and passed out hugs to the crew of Discovery.
The doorway from Discovery to the station opened at 7:01 pm ET, as the complex flew 221 miles above the southern Pacific Ocean.
"We've got a lot of work to do," stated Discovery commander Lee Archambault. "We're looking forward to it, but this is a very special moment."

In my first 21 years of life, I've found a few little niches.
One aspect in particular is the concept of budgeting. Whether it be time, money, or whatever else, I feel like I've always been fairly efficient in getting things done.
In terms of cash, I'm pretty good about sticking to a budget. Aside from cardboard, I don't purchase a whole lot of luxuries. And, besides the occasional card show splurge, I don't do a lot of binge spending on the hobby.
In time, though, I've come to learn one of the steadfast rules of budgeting.
At times, you have to throw it all out the window. It's not something I'd recommend doing on a regular basis, mind you. But, every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to go a few bucks over budget.
After I'd finished browsing through my regular vendor's slew of awesome cardboard (which you'll see more of in this and the last flea market posts), I wasn't planning on doing any more spending.
But, just a few aisles later, I came across a table filled with a random assortment of flea market staples. Clothes, power tools, kitchen appliances, you know the stuff.
And, tucked away near the edge of one of their tables lied two binders that read, "All Cards -- 10 x $1.00". So, what we had here was essentially a dime binder.
Leaving my budget inhibitions behind, I started digging. It didn't take long to find this awe-inspiring gem of former catcher B.J. Surhoff, complete with a Griffey cameo.
Sorry, Mr. Junkie, but this one's staying with me.
I was happy to find a few Stadium Club-filled pages tucked into these binders.
This amazing World Series "play at the plate" will make for a fabulous addition to my newly-designed frankenset.
I doubt there's a better card #282 out there.
As has become the norm lately, I came home with more Pacific Nolan Ryan cards after this discount dig.
For just a dime, though, I can't turn down a shot of the "Ryan Express" at the plate.
Here's a couple more of my miscellaneous dime grabs.
The Griffey is a terrific new add to my "sunset" collection, and one I'm surprised I didn't already have. And, while not technically his rookie card, I couldn't turn down that Thome for a dime.
It has all the makings of a bad high school yearbook photo.
Yes, these innocent little binders even netted me a few hits to my many mini-collections.
Between "pitchers at the plate", "double dips"...
...and "throwbacks", I was able to add a few beauties to my binders with this purchase.
Score even went the extra mile with this Will Clark issue, photoshopping an old-time backdrop into this staggeringly beautiful piece of cardboard.
All in all, I nabbed 20 cards from the two binders, totaling a whopping two bucks.
I'm sure glad I didn't stick to that pesky budget.
For now, let's switch gears and go back to the regular vendor I keep raving about around here.
When I walked up to his table last weekend, I wasn't planning on digging through anything other than his dime and vintage bins. As great as his other boxes are, I wanted to stay on budget.
But, after arriving, I found a couple hopeful collectors digging through the dime boxes. As a result, I started with the vintage.
After that dig was done, the dime bins were still occupied. So, once again, I figured I'd trash the plan.
Until the dime boxes opened up, I figured a brief dig through the fifty-cent bin wouldn't hurt. Fourteen fifty-centers later, the dime bins finally opened for business.
Had I not dug through those boxes, I would've passed up quite a few little gems, much like this "Silver Ice" parallel of current Royal Alex Gordon.
As apathetic as I've been towards Bowman in recent years, I'll give them a ton of credit for these beauties. I've secretly wanted to add one to my collection for a while now.
And, thanks to the fifty-cent box, I've finally fulfilled my dream.
Yup, I'll admit it.
I actually spent a whole fifty cents on a Sammy Sosa card. As you might know, I'm not a big fan of his.
Nevertheless, his early Rangers issues are hard to come by. And, of course, they make for one of the more well-known "Short Term Stops" tenures in baseball history. (Putting aside the brief time he spent with Texas at the end of his career.)
For better or worse, my love for unfamiliar uniforms doesn't discriminate against the "Steroid Era".
Here, we have a couple "latest and greatest" fifty-centers.
I feel extremely lucky to have found a Mike Trout insert for a couple quarters. I'm sure vendors around the nation have been insanely jacking up his prices over the last year or so.
For such a neat '83 All-Star Archives insert, plopping down fifty cents was an absolute no-brainer. As was the "Baseball Flashbacks" Koufax.
While I love my dime box goodies, I'm more than willing to drop a couple quarters on certain guys.
Sandy Koufax is most definitely part of that club.
As are Lou Brock and Johnny Bench.
In fact, the Brock is a Classic Clippings insert, serial numbered to 999 copies. While I'm not the numbered-crazed collector I was a few years ago, I still have a hard time turning down one of a HOFer for some loose change.
The Bench, on the other hand, is part of the hobby shop-exclusive "Prime 9" insert series that Topps started a couple years back. Since I don't have any great card shops around here, I was unfortunately left out of the festivities.
Luckily, this fifty-cent bin was there to let me get a little taste of the "Prime 9" party.
Still, that wasn't even the best Johnny Bench card I found last weekend.
This was.
Against all odds, this little fifty-cent bin helped me knock out a precious "Dime Box Dozen" need.
Given my longtime fandom of his, the fact that I'd never tracked down Bench's "sunset" card simply never sat well with me. (For the record, I don't consider his shared '84 Topps issue as a true "sunset" piece.)
While my feelings on the topic tend to shift from time to time, I'd say that '83 is currently my favorite Topps set of the 1980's. And, on top of that, note the odd "3rd base" designation on this particular issue.
It has all the makings of an awesome "sunset" card.
And, thanks to this terrific fifty-cent box, I can finally say that a copy now resides in my collection.
Had I not gone against my initial budgeting plans, I never would've bought any of the cards in this post. And that would've been a darn shame.
That just goes to show you, kids.
Sometimes, you just have to trash the plan.

John 21:20-25
Like John the Apostle, you and I spiritually lie close to the heart of Jesus as we witness his love for us and commit ourselves to the care of one another.
Tradition holds that John was the son of Zebedee and Salome and the brother of the Apostle James. James and John were the cousins of Jesus, since their mother Salome was sister of Mary. They were among the first disciples called and Jesus referred to them collectively as "Boanerges" (translated "sons of thunder," Mark 3:17). Peter, James, and John witnessed the raising of Jairus' Daughter (Mark 5:37), the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1), and the Agony of Jesus in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:37).
According to Luke, only John and Peter went into the city to prepare for the final Passover meal (22:8). John was the "disciple whom Jesus loved," who reclined next to Jesus in the upper room (John 13:23-25). After Jesus' arrest, Peter and the "other disciple" (John) followed Jesus into the palace of the high-priest (John 18:15). According to John's gospel, John alone remained near Jesus at the foot of the cross and took Mary, the mother of Jesus, into his care (John 19:25-27).
As we read God's Word and receive his Sacraments, like John, we witness the power and love of Jesus, are encouraged to lean on him, and are admonished to care for those Jesus loves.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your tender love and care. May you always open our eyes to your miracles about us, and may you empower us to love one another as you have loved us. In your most benevolent name we pray. Amen.
John 21:20-25 (NRSV)
20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; he was the one who had reclined next to Jesus at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?"
21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
22 Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!"
23 So the rumor spread in the community that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"
24 This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.
25 But there are also many other things that Jesus did; if every one of them were written down, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

In an amazingly short period of time, Octane has become a very substantial equipment provider for Anytime Fitness, largely because of the company's great products and outstanding customer service.
Brooklyn Park, Minn. (PRWEB) September 18, 2014
Octane Fitness, LLC, earned the annual Vendor of the Year award from Anytime Fitness, the world's fastest growing fitness club and the largest co-ed fitness franchise, for its outstanding service to the company's 3,000 clubs worldwide. Presented at the annual Anytime Fitness annual conference on September 13 in Scottsdale, Ariz., the award is due to Octane being the highest-rated vendor in an Anytime Fitness system-wide franchisee survey.
"In an amazingly short period of time, Octane has become a very substantial equipment provider for Anytime Fitness, largely because of the company's great products and outstanding customer service," said Dave Mortensen, Anytime Fitness president and co-founder. "Octane's equipment is top-notch. We are very selective about the products that we approve in our clubs and they offer some of the best. What really sets Octane apart from others, however, is their customer service. It rarely occurs, but whenever issues arise, they are on top of it and resolve things immediately."
Added Dennis Lee, president and CEO of Octane Fitness, which has been an Anytime Fitness preferred vendor since 2012, "What makes this award so special is the incredible respect we have for Anytime Fitness, its outstanding culture and its commitment to excellence. From day one, our goal has been to deliver products and service that exceed expectations, so this award holds a special significance for our team!"
Octane equips Anytime Fitness clubs with its premium standing ellipticals, breakthrough LateralX lateral trainer and innovative xRide recumbent ellipticals, which are among the most utilized cardiovascular machines due to their superior comfort and unmatched capabilities.
Revolutionizing traditional standing ellipticals, Octane offers trademark features like SmartStride, Converging Path and MultiGrip handlebars, CROSS CiRCUIT interval training and advanced regimens such as MMA and 30:30 Interval.
Exclusively from Octane, the LateralX is a new approach to cross training, with a smooth, 3D motion that goes from a vertical elliptical stepping motion to an active side-to-side motion that adjusts on the fly. The total-body workouts require movement in three planes, accommodating beginning exercisers to athletes. Research shows that LateralX users experience a 27% increase in caloric expenditure going from lateral width 1 to lateral width 10; and the LateralX motion represents a 30% increase in hip abduction, hip adduction and knee extension over traditional ellipticals.
For additional unique workouts, the xRide recumbent elliptical utilizes Octane's signature PowerStroke™ technology that delivers a longer elliptical motion that engages more muscles for greater conditioning. Studies indicate the xRide requires 343% more glute activity and burns 23% more calories than recumbent bikes. And Workout Boosters like Muscle Endurance, Chest Press and Leg Press raise intensity for strength training intervals.
Octane Fitness Background
Relentlessly fueled to reinvent zero-impact cardiovascular exercise, Octane Fitness has perfected the elliptical machine, introduced a new category with the xRide® recumbent elliptical, designed strength-infused cardio with the unique CROSS CiRCUIT®, created exercise in a new direction with the LateralX®, reinvented running with the Zero Runner® and is leading smarter training with SmartLink™. Defined by standout innovations, and driven to deliver more effective, efficient and rewarding workouts, Octane is engineering elliptical domination.

This exhibition was presented at Tyneside Cinema from from 5- 25 July 2017.
Preview: Tuesday 4 July 2017 from 17:30
Exhibition: 5 - 25 July 2017
In his two channel video work Two Way Mirror (2016/2017), David Haines takes his viewer on a cyber journey through the bedrooms of online 'chat boys' in search of materiality.
A voiceover advances through the work, narrating parts of lectures given by the philosopher and theologist Alan Watts in the 1960's on the desire and yet impossibility of treating the ego as a physicality.
Haines' search for materiality is delineated further when the footage ruptures through optically dazzling abstract animations and hypnotic dance beats. This inescapable physical interface is weighted against the otherwise cold landscape of digital code, laying bare the 'otherness' of these appropriated dematerialized bodies.
Part of Agents Of Change, an exciting programme of art, film and discussion commemorating a pivotal moment in the history of British LGBTQ rights. The programme coincides with the 50th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexual acts (Sexual Offences Act 1967), with Newcastle Pride 2017, and Tyneside Cinema's 80th anniversary celebrations.
This is part of the Agents of Change seasonSee all

One green bottle...
I love a good test, don't you? It's so much fun. The South Australian police and transport bastards must have heard, because they developed a great one that we can all take, if we try hard enough. Well, not really. We shouldn't try to be eligible for this one.
I don't know about other states, but SA is a little on the Nazi-ish side when it comes to drink driving. Before you give me a bollocking, I know, I know – it's bad. Very bad. You shouldn't do it and NO, I don't do it myself nor do I condone it in others. However, the fact remains if you get pinged twice in three years, Herr Flic makes you sit The Alco Test before he will give you back your licence. This is to decide whether you are a danger to society. Tests are obviously very good at predicting this.
This weekend is the annual Adelaide Schitzenfaced, so it seems quite appropriate to pull out The Alco Test. I imagine a number of people will become eligible for it at some stage over the next few days and will need to know. I'm just here to help.
Part of the test involves a little psych evaluation to find out if you are Idi Amin or Pol Pot reincarnated. Here's one I had someone steal for me earlier:
1. Is alcohol an appropriate breakfast food?
a Only at Christmas and New Year.
b Well, there are carbs in beer and carbs in cereal…
c What else would I put on my god-damned beerflakes?
2. When was the last time you had a hangover?
a New Year's Day. Ooh, I were crook…
b Since my eyes look like cracked jaffas, my mouth tastes like the bottom of a budgie's cage and Fred Astaire is doing a nice little fucking tap routine on my skull, I would guess that I have one right about now.
c Perhaps you should be asking when was the last time I wasn't hung over.
3. How much do usually you drink every day?
a A couple of drinks.
b A couple of bottles.
c A couple of slabs.
4. Your friends call you:
a Cadbury.
b Robert.
c Sozzle.
5. If you have been drinking, how long should you wait before driving?
a Until I am completely sober – preferably the next day.
b When I think I've had enough soft drinks and stodgy, fatty food to absorb the piss, and a good few hours have passed since my last drink.
c When I stop sweating vodka.
6. If you have had a bad day at work, what is the first thing you do when you leave?
a Go and look at puppies in the pet shop.
b Meet a friend for a drink or three.
c Get stone-motherless slaughtered.
7. If you have a hangover, do you
a Go to work, get a bacon and egg sandwich and Black Doctor down you and do your best to not throw up.
b Crawl in late and just slump at your desk looking crook.
c Pull a sickie. You feel like you've been dropped from 2,000 feet onto your bed and you can't drive a car or operate heavy machinery anyway because you're still drunk.
8. You have run out of your preferred beverage at home and it's the day before payday. Do you
a Forget about it and drink Coke.
b Drink the Crème de Menthe because that's all that's left.
c Think seriously about whether metho mixes with orange juice, because you finished the Crème de Menthe last time you ran out.
9. Absinthe is
a Scary as all fuck.
b Something I tried once but have never gone near again.
c To be served in pint glasses. On fire.
10. If you go to the pub with friends, how long do you keep drinking?
a I just have a few.
b Until I look in the mirror and see Tammy Faye Baker staring back at me.
c Until I run out of money OR the last pub sweeps me out with the cigarette butts OR I pass out. Whatever comes first.
11. How do your evenings out usually end?
a Taking a taxi home.
b Starting an argument with someone I don't know over something ridiculous.
c Passed out cold in the back of a paddy wagon.
12. Have you ever been hit by a car while inebriated and not realised it?
a No
b Yes
c Mayyyybe…
13. Where will you go when you leave this office?
a Back to work.
b Out to lunch with friends to share a bottle of wine.
c Directly to the pub to lie under an open beer tap.
14. Are you an alcoholic?
a No, of course not! I'm offended that you would even ask that question!
b What do you classify as an alcoholic?
c Alcoholics go to meetings. I'm just a drunk.

First, get the instruments that you'll want to shade the inside of the property. Becoming organized is action a single in generating ready to shade the inside of and out of doorways of property. Uncover a excellent brush to do the trim, rollers to roll on the paint, drop garments, rags and plastic luggage to aid you with retaining almost everything tidy.
Painting can also be exciting in some areas. You can have oneself or your portrait to be painted and can use as a style in your residing room or in some other places all around the property. All you require to do is to go to portrait studios and have a few shots. Following that, give your image to the painter or at times the studio delivers it as effectively. It can also be a current for a loved ones member or a pal. It is hugely appreciated since painted portraits are seldom offered as a gift.
When your property is still under construction, you will have to do proper planning. You know that the last appear of your residence will be influenced by the property paint. This is a single of the most vital factors of property decorating and if you go improper in your choice, the whole property is bound to be impacted. Nonetheless, when you choose to seek advice from a property painting skilled, this can undoubtedly be prevented.
If your property has glazed home windows, you will have to fix this place prior to continuing your Escondido interior painting. Glazed panes have an influence on the way your property seems and give a bit of insulation as effectively. They are typically straightforward to fix but when they are concluded you'll have to wait around a 7 days prior to painting. That does not imply your work should come to a standstill, you could keep on to paint other areas whilst you wait around and then return to the window spot later.
Another excellent thing about employing an exterior property painter contractor is that you will take pleasure in the luxury of totally free time whilst your property is getting painted by the skilled painters. It's excellent to devote quality time with loved ones rather than carrying out painting functions.
Asking a paint shop about contractors is yet another excellent notion and a primary source of data. Question all around at the local paint stores whilst steering clear of the big property enhancement stores – most pro painters like to go to local suppliers. Talk to the worker who bargains with contractors the most and notify them what you're looking for in a contractor. Question if they can recommend anyone in distinct that can take care of the occupation you require done. Since they offer with contractors on most likely a day-to-day foundation, they should have great perception on the local contractors.
Major and slight property repairs are necessary to be done prior to painting assignments so that flaws after the repairs will or might be concealed. If you're not utilized to carrying out Do-it-yourself inside and exterior painting positions, get in touch with a trustworthy property enhancement painting contractor in your spot. Question your neighbors and buddies for referrals and get in touch with numbers of skilled painters to work miracles in your property.

Government regulation: does it block progress?
Grandmere Mimi discusses the loss of chemotherapeutics because there's just not enough money in it for Big Pharm. Let's face it: pharma wants money, and orphan diseases and generic cancer drugs are not profitable. There has to be some subsidy or motivation for them.
Is it all regulation? Oh, evil government, preventing companies from providing products! With the Republican mantra of "less regulation",we've endured summers of Salmonella in the egg supply, traced to un-inspected facilities, and bad sprouts,and contaminated tomates. This is the result of the "less government" mantra that the right wingers are promoting. This is why people are getting sick. In countries where people can buy antibiotics without prescriptions, they no longer work--because overuse leads to resistance.
It's fashionable to blame that Big Bad Government for this. So let me tell you a story.
Back in the 1950s, pregnant women in Europe and Canada were offered a new drug to counteract morning sickness. It worked! And it was widely prescribed. It was never approved by the FDA in this country, however. An FDA inspector, Dr. Frances Kelsey, had some suspicions about it. Free samples had been sent out, but the data seemed incomplete to her--and no one had followed up on the babies born after its use. Although she was pushed by her superiors and the drug company to approve it, she stood her ground. And it was good that she did.
The drug was thalidomide, and it was a potent teratogen that disrupted normal development. Soon enough, children were born in Europe, Australia, and Canada who had no legs, and flippers in place of arms, and this was linked to the new wonder-drug. The approval process was halted in the US, and the drug was withdrawn by 1962 in other countries. The government in the US did its job. It protected the people, and saved countless children from severe defects.
I wonder if anyone ever apologized to Dr Kelsey.
In recent years, thalidomide has been redeemed for usage in leprosy and multiple myeoloma. However, strong safeguards are in place to prevent its administration to women who are or could be pregnant, to prevent further congenital birth defects.
Our system works by checks and balances. Our government works this way (or used to): executive balances legislative balances judicial. The regulatory processes of government balance the profit driven motives of industry.
The key is the balance.
Abolishing regulations completely is good for business. It is generally bad for people. Ask the kids who grew up limbless if the profits were worth it.
1 comment:
On the other hand, we have bills that are so complex and convoluted that the people voting on them admit they haven't read/don't know what's in them, or bills that some researchers say would take years to read and understand.
Even the rules that helped protect from thalidomide are causing problems now. I work in a pharmacy and we have non-stop shortages of very common drugs and skyrocketing prices, sometimes because of corporage greed and sometimes because of new regulations. Part of the problem is that some cheap old drug that worked isn't available anymore because it hasn't gone through the modern drug testing approval system so they can't sell it anymore; you have to buy this "new" name brand drug(a very slight remodel of the old) for $50-100 more instead of $6 because they jumped through the years of testing hoops. This has happened to nitro pills for chest pain, gout meds, and asthma inhalers, among other common stuff. One of my pharmacists pointed out that if aspirin went through modern testing it has so many different effects on the body it would still be a prescription.
The real question is- How does anyone balance anything in Washington anymore?

So Brandi Chastain whipped off her jersey after the winning goal in the Women's World Cup, exposing a downright chaste-looking undergarment. What's the big deal?
Her bra was designed as outerwear in the first place, Nike says.
The company is so thrilled about Saturday's ``exposure'' - ``momentary insanity,'' Chastain called it - that it's giving its post-World Cup ad campaign another look, a Nike spokesman says.
