Contents of the pack and other information
Adults and Children over 16 years of age
Mild asthma
The usual starting dose is 100 micrograms twice a day
Moderate to severe asthma
The usual starting dose is 250 to 500 micrograms twice a day
The most taken should be 1000 micrograms twice a day
Children (4 to 16 years of age)
Flixotide Accuhaler is a plastic inhaler device containing a foil strip
with 28 or 60 blisters. Each blister contains 50, 100, 250 or 500
micrograms of the active ingredient fluticasone propionate.
Fluticasone propionate belongs to a group of medicines called
corticosteroids (often just called steroids). A very small dose of
steroid is needed when it is inhaled. This is because it is inhaled
straight to your lungs.
Flixotide works by reducing swelling and irritation in the lungs. They
have what is called an 'anti-inflammatory action'.
Flixotide helps to prevent asthma attacks in people who need
regular treatment. This is why they are sometimes called
'preventers'. They need to be used regularly, every day.
Flixotide will not help treat sudden asthma attacks where you feel
A different medicine is used for treating sudden attacks (called
a 'reliever').
If you have more than one medicine, be careful not to confuse
The usual starting dose is 50 micrograms twice a day
The most taken should be 200 micrograms twice a day
Flixotide Accuhaler 250 micrograms and Flixotide Accuhaler 500
micrograms are not recommended for children 16 years and under.
It is recommended that children being treated with steroids,
including Flixotide Accuhaler have their height checked regularly by
their doctor.
Your doctor may give you a Flixotide Accuhaler of a higher strength
if your dose is increased.
If you are using high doses of an inhaled steroid for a long
time you may sometimes need extra steroids for example
during stressful circumstances such as a road traffic accident
or before an operation. Your doctor may decide to give you
extra steroid medicines during this time.
Patients who have been on high doses of steroids, including
Flixotide Accuhaler for a long time, must not stop taking their
medicine suddenly without talking to their doctor. Suddenly
stopping treatment can make you feel unwell and may cause
symptoms such as vomiting, drowsiness, nausea, headache,
tiredness, loss of appetite, low blood sugar level and fitting.
Instructions for use
Your doctor, nurse or pharmacist should show you how to use
your inhaler. They should check how you use it from time to
time. Not using the Flixotide Accuhaler properly or as
prescribed may mean that it will not help your asthma as it
The Accuhaler is provided in a sealed foil wrapper. The
wrapper provides protection from moisture and should only be
opened when you are ready to use it for the first time. Once
opened the foil wrapper should be discarded.
The Accuhaler device holds blisters containing Flixotide as a
There is a counter on top of the Accuhaler which tells you how
many doses are left. It counts down to 0. The numbers 5 to 0
will appear in red to warn you when there are only a few doses
left. Once the counter shows 0, your inhaler is empty.
Do not use Flixotide:
If you are allergic to fluticasone propionate or any of the other
ingredients of this medicine (listed in Section 6)
Do not use Flixotide if any of the above applies to you. If you are
not sure, talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist before using
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist before taking Flixotide if:
you have ever been treated for tuberculosis (TB)
you are using Flixotide at the same time as taking steroid
tablets. Also if you have just finished taking steroid tablets. In
both cases, you should carry a steroid warning card until your
doctor tells you not to carry one
If you are not sure if any of the above applies to you, talk to your
doctor or pharmacist before using Flixotide.
Other medicines and Flixotide
Tell your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you are taking, have
recently taken or might take any other medicines, including
medicines obtained without a prescription. This includes herbal
medicines. Remember to take this medicine with you if you have to
go into hospital.
In particular tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of
the following:
a type of antiviral medicine known as a 'protease inhibitor'
(such as ritonavir) or cobicistat containing products which may
increase the effects of fluticasone propionate. Your doctor may
wish to monitor you carefully if you are taking these medicines.
medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as
If you are not sure if any of the above applies to you, talk to your
doctor or pharmacist before using Flixotide.
Using Flixotide with food and drink
You can use Flixotide at any time of day, with or without food.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or are breast-feeding, think you may be
pregnant or planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice
before taking this medicine.
Driving and using machines
Flixotide is not likely to affect you being able to drive or use any
tools or machines.
Do not use your inhaler more often than the doctor told you to. Tell
your doctor if your medicine does not seem to be working as well
as usual, as your chest problem may be getting worse and you may
need a different medicine.
Your doctor may have told you to take more than this as an
emergency treatment if your wheezing or breathing gets very bad. It
is very important that you keep to your doctor's instructions as to
how many blisters to take and how often to use your inhaler.
Using your inhaler
Inside the carton, your Accuhaler is provided in a sealed foil
wrapper. To open this wrapper, tear along the jagged edge,
then remove the Accuhaler, and throw the wrapper away.
If you have trouble tearing the foil, do not use scissors or any
other sharp objects as you may harm yourself or the Accuhaler.
Ask someone to help you.
To open your Accuhaler, hold
the outer case in one hand and
put the thumb of your other hand on
the thumbgrip. Push your thumb away
from you as far as it will go. You
will hear a click.
This will open a small hole in the
Hold your Accuhaler with the
mouthpiece towards you. You can
hold it in either your right or left hand.
Slide the lever away from you as far
as it will go. You will hear a click. This
places a dose of your medicine in the
Every time the lever is pulled back a
blister is opened inside and the
powder made ready for you to inhale. Do not play with the lever
as this opens the blisters and wastes medicine.
Hold the Accuhaler away from your mouth, breathe out as far
as is comfortable. Do not breathe into your Accuhaler. Do not
breathe in again yet.
Put the mouthpiece to your lips;
breathe in steadily and deeply
through the Accuhaler with your
mouth, not through your nose.
Remove the Accuhaler from your
mouth. Hold your breath for about 10
seconds or for as long as is
comfortable. Breathe out slowly.
To close the Accuhaler, slide the
thumbgrip back towards you, as
far as it will go. You will hear a click.
The lever will return to its original
position and is reset.
Your Accuhaler is now ready for you
to use again.
Afterwards, rinse your mouth with
water and spit it out.
Cleaning your Accuhaler
If you use more than you should, talk to your doctor as soon as
It is important that you take your dose as stated on the
pharmacist's label or as advised by your doctor. You should not
increase or decrease your dose without seeking medical advice.
If you forget to use Flixotide
Take the next dose when it is due.
Do not take a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose.
children and young people to grow more slowly
something called 'Cushing's syndrome'. This happens
when you have too much steroid in your body and it can
cause thinning of your bones and eye problems (such as
cataracts and glaucoma which is high pressure in the eye)
Your doctor will help stop this happening by making sure you
use the lowest dose of steroid which controls your symptoms.
Although the frequency is not known, the following side effects may
also occur:
depression, feeling restless or nervous. These effects are more
likely to occur in children
Talk to your doctor as soon as possible if:
after 7 days of using Flixotide your shortness of breath or
wheezing does not get better, or gets worse
you or your child is on high doses of inhaled steroid and
become unwell with vague symptoms such as tummy ache,
sickness, diarrhoea, headache or drowsiness. This can happen
during an infection such as a viral infection or stomach upset. It
is important that your steroid is not stopped suddenly as this
could make your asthma worse and could also cause problems
with the body's hormones
Reporting of side effects
If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

Buying a High Spec Road Bike
This road bike post is a paid article by the folks at Money Matters, the Sainsbury's Bank blog.
Buying a high spec road bike
by Money Matters, the Sainsbury's Bank blog
Good leaders set trends. This is especially true in the cycling world where road bike riding is taken very seriously as a hobby.
After Britain's summer of sporting success, the Guardian reported that more people than ever have been inspired to 'get on their bikes'. It reported an 'up-cycle' in bike and accessory sales, with some of Britain's most famous cyclists putting their own retail lines on the market.
The report also found that bikes costing between £700 and £2,000 are the most popular with accessories, including shorts, helmet and shoes adding even more. Whether you've already saved up for your dream machine or plan to take out a loan to help buy one, a lot of effort goes into researching your preferred model.
Road bikes
As their name suggests, road bikes are mainly designed for use on the roads or tracks. They can be used for a range of purposes, including general fitness, commuting and the sport itself. Road bikes typically feature:
- Thin tyres as narrow as 23mm
- A lightweight frame (one of the lightest road bikes is a mere 2.7kg, lighter than some laptops!)
- Low handlebars
- Between 18-27 speeds
Finding the right fit
To find the right sized bike, measure your inside leg to determine your stand over height above the crossbar. This can be between 2.54cm and 5.1cm. Together with the inside leg length, riders can measure their height to provide two reference points. Road bike frame sizes usually increase in 2cm increments. Consulting a bike sizing guide and going for a few test rides can help in finding the best fit.
Made of strong stuff
- Steel – A typical type of frame material is steel. Chromoly (chromium-molybdenum steel) is lighter than carbon steel, but both are strong and durable.
- Carbon Fiber – strong and lightweight to provide a comfortable ride
- Titanium – one of the most rugged and durable, yet costliest frame materials
- Aluminium – a stiff and strong material that's good for riders who favour lightweight bikes
Getting into gear
Gears are crucial for riding on uneven surfaces. On flat surfaces, a fixed single speed, or just three or four gears are usually needed. However, for tackling hills and challenging terrain, a bike with 21, 24 or 27 speeds might be more suitable.
Give us a brake
Most bikes are equipped with either rim (V) or disc brakes. Both get the job done, with disc brakes being the more efficient – yet more expensive – option.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Seats or saddles should make your cycle a pleasant – not painful – experience.
Also, with intensive road bike cycling, you'll not always sit down on the job; instead moving out of the saddle to climb steep slopes.
Go for a saddle that's narrow, lightly padded with cut out tops, and has a rear width which is both anatomic and ergonomic.
Heads up
Weight, fit, ventilation and, of course, safety are all important aspects of a quality bike helmet. There are more practical, everyday helmets – to pointed versions which almost resemble a back-to-front wizard's hat. These are designed to be aerodynamic for serious cyclist – yet probably aren't necessary for the casual family cycle.
Follow you, not the crowd
Last but not least is deciding on a road bike you like – and which suits you. The summer of sport might have inspired dedicated followers of cycling fashion, yet, ultimately, the decision is yours.

Apple reports its Q1 2013 numbers in a few hours and the regional revenue break-downs will be one of the most important issues of the evening. One burning question for Apple is how badly its performance in Asia Pacific and Europe has been undermined by Samsung's triumphant success in the low-end smartphone market. A year ago, Apple was chugging along on all continents, delivering 54% YoY revenue growth in Asia and 55% in Europe during fiscal Q1 2012 - and those were the two weakest regions for the company.
But by the autumn quarter, two problems had emerged. During Q4 2012, Asian revenue growth had suddenly cooled to 15%. And European growth had dropped down to downright chilly 8%. Between the Christmas of 2011 and the fall of 2012, Apple's sales growth in these two regions had downshifted much faster than Wall Street anticipated in the beginning of 2012. Autumn sales growth still topped 100% in Japan and remained above 40% in the Americas.
Different research firms offer tantalizing clues to Apple's challenges in Europe and Asia. Kantar Worldpanel December report shows Apple's smartphone market share slipping YoY in its European stronghold of the United Kingdom. For the European Union as a whole, the iOS market share grew by a scant 0.2% year-on-year. This is radically different from the US smartphone market, where Apple gained more than six percentage points of market share in a year. Nevertheless, holding its European market share steady should result in more than 30% unit growth, since YoY smartphone sales growth in EU should top the 30% mark.
The problem for Apple is that several sources are now claiming that the iPhone range is undergoing a radical mix shift, with demand moving towards older models with less memory. According to CIRP, both the proportion of the latest iPhone relative to older models and the proportion of the 64 GB model relative to cheaper iPhones have shrunk dramatically in a year. Unit growth may still result in single-digit or even negative revenue growth if the shift towards cheaper models has been pronounced enough.
This is why the geographic revenue information is particularly fascinating right now. Google's Android partners including Samsung, Huawei and ZTE made particularly aggressive moves towards the sub-$150 smartphone niche during the calendar year 2012 in Europe and South-East Asia. This is likely part of the reason why Apple's performance in markets ranging from Spain to India has been disappointing in recent quarters. Europe and South-East Asia are regions where Apple is particularly vulnerable to cheap Samsung models. The revenue trends in these two regions will tell us much about how badly Samsung's low-end success is undermining Apple right now. If the damage is deep enough, it could mean that Apple simply has no choice but to launch a cheaper iPhone in late 2013.
This in turn would have profound implications for Nokia and RIM, both in the process of rolling out new, make-or-break smartphone ranges. If Samsung's low-end offensive of 2012 has been robust enough to force Apple into moving to the budget smartphone market, the rebound effect on smaller brands could be substantial. Both Nokia and RIM have depended on the sub-$300 handset market to sustain them during a challenging period. The shape of the handset market in late 2013 largely hinges on whether Apple finally makes its move to the budget segment or not.

British singer Adele has sparked speculation she has called her baby boy Angelo after stepping out wearing a gold necklace bearing the name.
The "Someone Like You" hit maker and her partner Simon Konecki welcomed their first child in October, but the singer has remained tight-lipped about her son's name.
However, the secretive star was spotted shopping for baby clothes in Los Angeles earlier this week sporting the personalized necklace, sparking speculation she has named her son Angelo.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Those close to Adele have been told the baby is called Angelo. We're not sure of the significance of the name. She's wanted to keep it quiet but it was always going to come out sooner or later. Wearing an Angelo necklace not only backs up what is being said, it suggests she's not worried about people finding out."

John Edwards
Hanover, New Hampshire (Remarks as Prepared for Delivery: August 23, 2007)
This election is unlike any we have faced before. The stakes are
higher. And the challenges we face as a nation are greater than at any
time in memory.
We as a nation must choose whether to do what America has always
done in times like these -- change direction and move boldly into the
future for the sake of our children, if not for ourselves, or wander in
the same stale direction we have traveled in our recent past.
The choice we must make is as important as it is clear.
It is a choice between looking back and looking forward.
A choice between the way we've always done it and the way we could do it if we dared.
A choice between corporate power and the power of democracy.
Between a corrupt and corroded system and a government that works for us again.

$784 Million in New Transportation Funding to Help Create Jobs and Bolster the Economy
Fresno – Following last week's announcement of the general obligation bond sales, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated $784 million in new funding for 61 projects that will help create thousands of jobs bolstering the state's economic recovery - and reduce traffic congestion, repair highways and bridges, and make driving safer for everyone.
Last week's bond sale allowed projects that were delayed or at risk of delay due to lack of funding to move forward to construction. In addition, the bond proceeds will also fund more than 300 ongoing projects through June 2012. The ongoing and newly allocated projects leverage around $11 billion in non-state funds, giving our economy an added boost.
"These projects will allow billions of dollars to flow into construction and produce enormous economic benefits for California," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
Highlights of the funding allocations include:
- Allocation of $2.1million to the Council of Fresno County Governments for a Traffic Light Synchronization Program in Fresno on Shaw Avenue designed to decrease delays and travel times during peak commute hours.
- Allocation of $300,000 to the Council of Fresno County Governments for a safety improvement project in the city of Clovis, on Bullard Avenue and Locan Avenue.
The CTC funding today includes $695 million from Proposition 1B, the 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. To date, the state has allocated more than $9 billion in Proposition 1B funds.
Please see the attached file for more information about all projects that received allocations today.

Adult Students
More than one-third of Evergreen students are adults (25 years of age or older) and come from all walks of life. Adult students make a significant contribution to the learning community because they bring the rich diversity of their experiences to the classroom.
Watch Bonnie McLeod's video on her return to the classroom after working 20 years at a bank. Bonnie took advantage of an opportunity to re-career and discovered a new interest in natural science.
Two ways adult students can take classes at Evergreen.
- Go through the formal admission process, as a degree-seeking student, or
- Register for an 8-credit program or 4-credit course without applying for admission.
What's the difference?
- A student who is formally admitted is considered a degree-seeking (matriculated) student. A student who has not been formally admitted and registers for classes is considered a "special student," or is not registered as degree-seeking.
- Degree-seeking students register first for programs and courses. Special students may register after regular admits - first come, first served.
- Degree-seeking students may register online. Special students register for classes in person.
- Degree-seeking admits may register for a maximum of 20 credits per quarter (though the typical credit load is 16 credits per quarter). Special students may register for a maximum of 8 credits per quarter.
- Degree-seeking admits may register in either daytime programs or evening/weekend programs and courses. Special students may only select evening/weekend programs and courses.
- Degree-seeking students may be eligible for state and federal financial aid programs if he or she is registered for at least 6 credits. Special students are eligible for emergency loan and alternative loan programs only. Students registered in a program or course listed in the Evening and Weekend Studies class listing may qualify for a tuition waiver.
Many special students start by taking a program or course through the Evening and Weekend Studies curriculum and complete the formal admission process simultaneously. However, you may continue your studies as a special student for as long as you like. You will pay the same tuition rate as degree-seeking students. All of the credits you earn as a special student can count toward an Evergreen bachelor's degree. But remember: you will need to apply for formal admission to Evergreen before you can graduate and be given a degree.
If you are interested in applying for formal admission to Evergreen, please review the information for:
Freshman Student
Transfer Student
International Student
A Curriculum for the Adult Student
The average age of a new Evening and Weekend Studies student is 35 years old.
At the core of the curriculum are 8 and 12 credit interdisciplinary programs. There are also 4 credit single-subject courses that complement these interdisciplinary programs. These programs and courses meet in the evenings or on the weekends to fit busy lifestyles. There's even an 8-credit program taught in Grays Harbor. This program welcomes transfer students, veterans of the military and individuals returning to college after starting their career.
Contact an Admission Counselor to answer your questions about Evening and Weekend Studies.

Lost in Friday's decision by former Lions receiver Titus Young to exercise his right to remain silent literally is the fact that the list of charges against him has expanded to 11.
When a guy gets charged with 12 crimes, does the judge add a 13th for free?
Per multiple reports, Young picked up a felony charge of residential burglary, a misdemeanor charge of resisting and obstructing an officer, and a misdemeanor charge of vandalism under $400.
Police apparently learned during the investigation of Young's May 11 arrest that he had attempted to break into a second home, that he fought with police, and that he damaged a fence.
Young won't be able to expand to his rap sheet, unless he finds a way to commit crimes while in custody. A judge has increased his bail to $50,000, and Young's family has declined to post bond.
Family members and friends have said Young has mental health issues. Here's hoping that someone finally will persuade him to seek and obtain the help he needs.
I was going to add "before it's too late," but I've got a feeling it already may be.

It's one thing for a DuckTales episode to be inspired by tropes from a Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Richard Merwin certainly was when he constructed the plots of episodes like "Ducks of the West" and "Back Out in the Outback" as homages to Scooby-Doo. It's entirely another for a DT ep to respire BECAUSE of an actual Hanna-Barbera EPISODE PLOT. Such is the case with "Horse Scents," in which the late Earl Kress, an H-B authority of long standing, boldly swiped in a manner that no other DT writer had, or ever would, "swope" before. His inspiration: an episode of Top Cat entitled "The $1,000,000 Derby," first broadcast in the Fall of 1961. (Of course, I wasn't around to see this ep during its original run, nor did I watch Top Cat enough in syndication to ever run across it. Joe Torcivia originally drew my attention to it.)
Kress correctly recognized that the plot of the Top Cat episode couldn't be translated directly into a DuckTales context; TC and his gang, after all, merely use the racehorse Arabelle as part of one of their standard con jobs. The original material that Kress erects on this framework, however, runs the gamut of quality from passable to putrid. Webby sustains a refreshing amount of attitude throughout (as opposed to her one brief moment of asperity during "Take Me Out of the Ballgame"), and her relationship with the hammy, weather-beaten "photo horse" Milady makes for plenty of cute, and sometimes even touching, moments. The roles played by the rest of the Ducks, however, don't amount to much, and the ep's various conflicts, both established (Scrooge and Flintheart Glomgold's tussle to see whose horse can win the Kenducky Derby) and newly created (the bloviating evil oat salesman [thanks, GeoX!] Bull Weevil and his weasel henchmen vs. Milady's elderly owner Mr. Merrywether, Webby, HD&L, Milady, and, well, just about anyone else who gets in their way), generally fall flat despite numerous loud and raucous efforts to make us care about them. Overly exaggerated gags, logical difficulties, and a "big race" finish that actually underperforms the same scene in "The $1,000,000 Derby" help make for an episode that does have its share of decent moments -- most of which involve Webby and Milady -- but ultimately falters in the stretch.
This is one of the more conventionally cartoony episodes of DuckTales' first season. To start with the obvious, we're presented with a heavily anthropomorphized animal character in Milady, to whom voice actress Susan Blu manages to give quite a bit of personality despite the handicap of not being able to use a "real" voice. (Hal Smith, by contrast, was permitted to do occasional "true" vocalizations for Arabelle during the course of "The $1,000,000 Derby".)
Alan Young was flashing back to those bygone days on the set of Mr. Ed when he performed this scene.)
The Webby-Milady scenes are so good that they almost make you forget a painfully obvious logical loophole: Who the heck signed off on Webby serving as Milady's jockey in the first place?! Kress' authorial inconsistency on this non-trivial matter is maddening: Mrs. Beakley faints dead away the first time that Webby rides Milady, but then seems to have no problem whatsoever with Webby riding Milady in training runs or in the race; Scrooge evinces no reaction (apart from disgust over the snail-slow performance) during Milady's trial run, nor during the rest of training, yet is suddenly SHOCKED AND APPALLED when he sees Webby preparing to ride Milady in the Derby.
I think that Kress' familiarity with Hanna-Barbera-style approaches to storytelling may have tripped him up here. Webby's improbable assumption of the jockey role here is not unlike the appearance of a protean H-B character like Huckleberry Hound in whatever role suited him for a particular episode. Why, even the more "realistic" Fred Flintstone got to drive in the Indianrockolis 500 under the pseudonym of "Goggles Paisano" (wearing his usual clothes, no less) simply because of his ability to survive driving on the freeway. I think it is fair to say, however, that DuckTales characters like Webby are not as adaptable to the "fit 'em into a plot slot" approach as the classic H-B stars.
Speaking of channeling the spirit of Hanna-Barbera...
The Golden Christmas Tree":
Quack Pack, and we all know how well that turned out.
Other logical issues abrade one's enjoyment of "Horse Scents," both small (Mrs. Beakley conveniently bringing a bugle with her to Louisville, Kenducky in the first place) and great (the handling of the "photo finish" climax). The latter is particularly irritating because the animators clearly messed up what should have been an easily executed scene. In "The $1,000,000 Derby," Arabelle truly is neck and neck with other horses in the home stretch, so it makes sense for the gravelly-voiced track announcer (Hal Smith again -- did he get "that creepy deja vu feeling" in the recording booth, I wonder?) to declare that a "photo finish" is imminent. In "Scents," by contrast, Milady is clearly ahead of both Cash Register and Make-a-Buck near the finish line, so why would the announcer call a "photo finish" in that context? Wait, it gets worse. The other horses have passed the finish line by the time Milady gets into her photo-pose...
Greg, the "tie decision" is annoying -- I'd much rather have seen Scrooge and Cash Register make Flinty pay for his chicanery -- but I'd say that the animators blowing their big moment of the ep counts as more of a debit.
There are other elements to dislike here -- an annoyingly over-the-top villain in Bull Weevil, some bickering between Scrooge and Glomgold that is pretty juvenile even for them -- but I'm certainly not willing to say that "Scents" is among the worst DuckTales episodes. Instead, I think, it illustrates some of the dangers involved in lifting an entire plot from another source. If you're going to handle the "big picture" in such a mercenary fashion, then you'd better make very sure that you pay attention to the surrounding detail work.
(GeoX) In the end, Milady doesn't win, because HD&L realize that if she did, the evil oat-salesman would get the money, so they get her to stop by making her think her picture's going to be taken. This makes the evil oat-salesman (I won't deny it: I do enjoy writing out "evil oat-salesman") angry, and so he doesn't want her anymore. Which makes no sense, because he never wanted her as a racing horse in the first place; she was just meant to do farm work.
I'd be willing to give Bull some of the benefit of the doubt here. There's no indication that he would want to race Milady after the Derby; he simply can't stand the sight of her after she costs him the grand prize. That being said, Bull may have missed a real opportunity to strut his sinister stuff here. If he really were the nasty piece of work that his girth, Snidely Whiplash-like appearance, and bellowing voice proclaim him to be, then I should think that he'd jump at the chance to work Milady to death.
(GeoX) I am always amused by the idea of one's domestic animals being "good" or "evil" to match their owners, as Scrooge's and Flintheart's horses are here. Like Battle Cat and Panthor from He-Man.
Well, Make-a-Buck certainly gives the impression of being an "evil" horse, but you can't honestly say that Cash Register matches Scrooge's personality. Note how passively CR accepts being kidnapped by Flinty's weasel henchmen and how his ultimate escape is entirely due to luck (the broken hitch on the truck). One would expect a horse "matched" with Scrooge, that famed "toughest of the toughies," to go to much more trouble to fight for his freedom.
Cash As Catch Can [sic] when you can REALLY make the big bucks. Otherwise; this is merely a bragging rights plot line in who can be the biggest dick in the world. And I think Flint would win it hands down.
No doubt he would, but remember that it's long been established that Scrooge and Flinty are thisclose when it comes to the comparative sizes of their fortunes. Even the proceeds from a single horse race might in fact be enough to push Flinty in front.
(Greg) By the way; Shifty is voiced by the late Johnny Haymer (who passed away in 1989)...
At least in part. Shifty's voice, well, shifts on several occasions during the episode. When he and his sniveling pal mock Mr. Merrywether, he sounds a lot like Hal Smith. During the kidnapping sequence, his voice suddenly drops a bit. Perhaps Haymer was only available for a portion of the recording session?
(Greg) Webby notices a drum banging and she notices a horse walking around as the nephews turn around and Dewey swears in DUBBED ANIME STYLE (swell) because he hasn't seen one all day. Umm; check your internal logic there Dewey: You saw two horses in a parade earlier. That is logic break #2 for the episode.
Dewey was being sarcastic here, I think. No, check that. I KNOW.
(Greg) So Bull checks the stables as Huey and Dewey are cleaning up Cash Register and Bull demands them to tell him where the horse is. The nephews goldbrick on him just to show Kit how it's done. Dewey reflects on a horse joke he heard as we cut to Louie, Milady and Webby on top of the wooden beam of the roof of the stable. Okay; that breaks all logic and reason right there folks... Bull heads inside and looks around. Considering the line of sight he's using, he should clearly SEE them and he does as the roof beam starts to break. Good; it's about damn time logic is being used around here.
And then logic flees the scene once again as our Hayloft Gang apparently fall far enough FORWARD to fall directly onto Bull, who's standing at a fair horizontal distance away from them. Check the geometry of the scene:
(Greg) Bull has arrived and apparently quickly recovered from his injuries. How about that?! The nephews have to bail so [he doesn't] see them. Why? Bull is AFTER Milady; not the nephews. Why hide from him? It's not like Beakley and Merriweather aren't blowing the cover anyway.
Well, how else was Bull going to be manipulated into yelling into that microphone? More contrivance. At least it gave HD&L something semi-useful to do in the ep. (And if you think that Bull recovered quickly, Greg, note that his truck also got fixed with astonishing speed after it was wrecked.)
Next: Episode 19, "The Curse of Castle McDuck."

Ciara Dances in the Desert in 'Got Me Good' Video
In her new 'Got Me Good' video, Ciara sports all white amidst the dust-colored desert.
The singer and her trademark intricate dancing are thrust further into the spotlight by the fact that her fellow dancers are mostly sporting head-to-toe onyx. She grinds with a gentleman in the street, then hops into a Jeep in other shots, rocking a long-sleeved black cover up. If you were worried about her overheating in the desert, don't worry: there's enough of a breeze to keep her cool. It's a pretty straight up choreography-themed video, but the athleticism and the abs will get viewers good indeed.

Police in Pennsylvania are investigating a complaint concerning a ghost hunt that went bust after a police officer mistakenly thought it was a burglary in progress.
The Gettysburg Times reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/1bfEf0U ) that the Thanksgiving night ghost tour ended with two tourists and their guide being detained at gunpoint.
A patrolman passing a closed store in Gettysburg says he saw flashlights inside, so he went in and handcuffed and searched the three ghost hunters.
Police called the owner, who confirmed the tour operator had permission to use the allegedly haunted Civil War-era building. The first Union general killed in the Battle of Gettysburg was brought to the building after being fatally wounded.
The owner of the Victorian-style photography studio that occupies the building and permitted the tour has declined to comment.

Homework 6: Revised Interfaces Based on HE
Assigned: Mon, June 24, 2013; Due: Thurs, June 27, 2013 at 10:30am EDT (note: no late turn-ins for HW5!)
The TAs will send to you the two evaluations from your classmates. In this assignment, you should revise your interface based on that feedback. It is very important that you respond to each criticism, and avoid changing each good thing mentioned. In general, you should make the recommended changes. However, if you have a good reason for not making a fix, you can make that argument in your report. Your grade on this assignment will depend primarily on the quality of your final, resulting interface, and your responses to your classmates' comments. Your grade will be lowered if we do not agree with your reason for not fixing problems that were brought up in your previous user studies, and by your classmates in their heuristic analyses.
The deliverables for this assignment are:
- First, the final revised prototype, resulting from your responses to all the user studies and heuristic analyses.
- Second, you should write a report, discussing how you responded to each item mentioned by your classmates. First, fill in the final (yellow) column of the reports you received. You must turn in the two HE forms given to you, with your column filled in based on your responses. In addition to the responses on the tables, you should write extra information as follows. You must have screenshots to show what you changed, so it is easier to see -- circle your changes and reference them in the report. If you made any other changes to your system since Homework 4, for example in response to the TA's comments, or problems users had in your user studies which you had not previously addressed, then please make a note of that in your report too, and mention the source of the problem. You will get a better grade based on all the improvements you make from your previous (Assignment 4) version, whether the recommendation for the change results from a previous user study, the TA or an HE.
- Zip up your report and your implementation files as usual. Name this file: HCI-HW6-lastname-firstname.zip and upload it to Blackboard.
- You should also fill out the two (2) questionnaires for the class. We take all the comments seriously, and try to improve the class each year:
- The official CMU course evaluation: http://cmu.onlinecourseevaluations.com or Tepper evaluation (if you are in 46-863)
- The class questionnaire:http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N5GDS6C

VS-72WE78UA WUXGA LED display wall cube
72" WUXGA LED display wall cube
With over 61,000 installations to date world wide, Mitsubishi's name is synonymous with the engineering excellence and reliability that is essential in mission critical installations.
We are proud to introduce the brightest, highest contrast LED display wall cubes available in the market that fully compliments our 7th generation display wall range, the Seventy Series.
Developed 100% by Mitsubishi Electric, the LED technology offers significant advantages in many applications, enabling displays to be more environmentally friendly and easier to maintain whilst being the most cost effective solution available today. On-board intelligence is another hallmark feature of Seventy Series products with built-in processing enabling multiwindow displays to be created without an external processor.
The 72WE78UA is our 72" WUXGA rear access model which comes with a standard black stripe screen.
This model is also available as a front access maintenance model.
Optionally you could also choose for a cross lenticular- or black bead screen.
To compensate for the color and brightness inconsistencies on display wall cubes, Mitsubishi Electric has developed an original Color Space Control Circuit that balances and blends colors.The ratios of each primary color (Red/Green/Blue) and other color mixtures are adjusted to provide consistent color blending and superior uniformity on multi-screen configurations.
Without Color Space Control With Color Space Control
Digital Gradation Circuit
Loss of brightness at the screen edges is no longer a problem owing to Mitsubishi Electric's innovative digital gradation circuit. The brightness is distributed evenly across the screen, ensuring the reproduction of sharp, vivid images from edge to edge on multi-screen configurations.
Without Digital Gradiation With Digital Gradiation
LED lighting offers significant advantages over conventionally-lit Display Wall systems employing mercury lamps. Mitsubishi Electric's LED cubes employ a unique air-cooled lighting element, which, unlike the liquid-cooling employed in some other manufacturer's products, requires no moving parts and less maintenance for its entire 60,000 – 100,000 hour lifespan. This highly efficient air-cooling system realizes higher reliability by using a very effective cooling plate and aluminium pipe for each of the individual RGB LED light sources.
Specially designed fan packs rated for 100,000 hours of continuous use mean that a Mitsubishi Electric LED cube wall can be expected to deliver well over 9 years of 24/7 operation.
Full Front Access for Simple Maintenance
Mitsubishi Electric offers a wide line-up of front-access products: front access is available for 60"and 70" Full HD (1080P) models of the 120 series.
A special designed slide-and-lift screen combimed with the special air-ventilation system allow all installation and maintenance work to be completed from the front. As a result, no maintenance space is needed behind the display wall cubes even if they are tiled as a display wall installation.
Dynamic Color & Brightness Balancing
Each display wall cube is equipped with three built-in sensors (one for each primary color) that use a color and brightness maintenance algorithm. The sensors continually monitor the individual red, green and blue output of each display wall cube, share the data with adjacent cubes, and adjust performance automatically to produce extremely accurate colors and brightness balance over the entire display. These features make it possible to maintain image uniformity on multi-screen configurations over long periods of operation without using external
software or a computer.
120 Series display wall cubes are equipped with an open pluggable specification (OPS) slot. Simply install the optional computer board* to expand the scope of applications.A variety of peripheral equipment can be connected quickly and easily for future system expansion.
*For details of the optional computer board, please contact your nearest Mitsubishi Electric sales representative.
Mitsubishi Electric's original LED light source which contains the ideal
combination of fully redundant RGB LEDs and air cooling system can
realize the perfect display solutions for 24/7 operations. 4 light
elements for each RGB LED are able to keep display's picture image
qualities even if 1 light element fails. They are able to enhance the reliabilities for various mission critical environment.
Smart Switch
A "Smart Switch" function has been added to Mitsubishi Electric display wall cubes to deliver the signal redundancy necessary for mission critical applications that require round-the-clock operation. If a signal is unexpectedly lost, the display wall automatically switches to the alternative signal source (either "port-to-port" or "board-to-board") within seconds after the 'no signal' status is detected. This function makes it possible for the user to minimize downtime in the event of a signal source failure.
window can be of any size or displayed across the entire wall without using an external controller.
Used in combination with Mitsubishi Electric's D-Wall software suite, the entire imaging system can be controlled intuitively from a user-friendly graphical user interface.

Seventy-seven games and a Pacific division title into this season and Clippers Coach Doc Rivers is still learning about who and what he has — and how far this team might go.
He knows tendencies and traits from watching slumps and hot streaks. He has collected cold, hard facts by observing players' reactions to adversity and good times.
The picture is becoming clearer for Rivers, but it still wasn't complete after a late push by the Clippers fell agonizingly short in a 113-107 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday at Staples Center.
Rivers knows his team has resilience, as evidenced by its near-rally from a double-digit deficit on the second night of a back-to-back sequence.
He knows how fierce a competitor Chris Paul is, a trait that's admirable but could also be physically dangerous for a small guard. He knows Blake Griffin dislikes coming out of games, DeAndre Jordan "doesn't ever look like he's tired," and unlike the veteran Celtics teams Rivers coached, the generally young Clippers get upset when he tells them it's time to take a rest.
"With the team in Boston, Kevin would give you a hug when you took him out of a game," Rivers said of Kevin Garnett.
But Rivers isn't coaching the Celtics anymore. He and the Clippers have no collective playoff memories to use as a cautionary tale — or a rallying cry — when postseason play begins.
The Clippers are still determining who they will be when they grow up. Their loss to Dallas on Thursday, only their third in their last 20 games, left some blanks for Rivers to fill in.
Shooting guard J.J. Redick returned after missing 25 games because of a bulging disk in his back and played 23 minutes, a much-needed contribution off the bench. He reappeared not long after Rivers acknowledged guard Jamal Crawford (sore Achilles' tendon) and forward Danny Granger (strained left hamstring) might not return until the playoffs.
But his 12 points were the Clippers' only bench scoring until Glen Davis hit a pair of jumpers early in the fourth quarter, and that must be a huge concern. As much as Rivers might want to rest his starters, there might be times he simply can't.
Rivers said it was important for Redick to return before the playoffs. "I want to see what he can do," Rivers said.
That's a recurring theme as the Clippers' voyage of discovery continues.
"I think I know who we are for the most part. I know how we play. I still don't know how we'll handle the playoffs. That's a whole other beast," Rivers said before Thursday's game. "So that could be the answer. But I think I know. I think we're up for the challenge, is what I'm saying. But you don't know it until you get into it.
"The best part about these 82 games — here's your answer — is I think our guys now believe if bad things happen, you can still win. And as far as the game's not being played the way we thought it would be played, guys get injured, I think our guys still think we'll find a way to win.
"And I think that's something that's important going into the playoffs because that's the objective — to win that game, and I think we have finally figured out that every game is an individual game and I think they do a good job of doing that."
The Clippers, who overcame a 17-point deficit to win at Phoenix on Wednesday, almost duplicated that against Dallas but couldn't hold on. Griffin recorded his fourth career triple-double with 25 points, 10 rebounds and a team-leading 11 assists in addition to displaying a couple of slick spin-and-dribble moves. In the final seconds, though, he slipped to one knee and pounded the floor in frustration before walking off under his own power.
There are a lot of good things about the Clippers. There are also a few things missing, most noticeably consistency on defense. The Clippers were helpless against a 10-0 Mavericks run midway through the fourth quarter, when Dirk Nowitzki revived long enough to hit two three-pointers.
They might have an idea of who and what they are but don't yet know what they can become.
"I have no winning history here and so I tell our guys that all the time — it's all of us together," Rivers said. "It's not one guy that needs to win. It's the entire team needs to win, because none of us have won together. And that's how we have to think of this."

Graduate Perspectives
Chatham University Master of Science in Biology
Stephanie Waggel '09
I graduated from Chatham with my MS in biology in 2009. I am now a third-year medical student at the George Washington University in Washington, DC. I have a special interest in neurology, psychiatry, and aerospace medicine. The classes I took as a graduate student at Chatham really helped me in my first year of medical school. Being one of the few people in my class to have had gross anatomy with cadaver lab, I was quickly able to take on a leadership role. I was elected to medical student class council and I have remained ever since. Having already learned many of topics discussed in the first year of medical school allowed me to take on many extracurricular activities. My biostatistics class at Chatham helped me in my research in London last year. I developed a tool, the Aviation Laser Exposure Self-Assessment (ALESA) which aids pilots in determining if permanent injury from a laser exposure has occurred and whether professional treatment should be sought. I used some of the techniques I learned while doing research at Chatham to assess the usefulness of this tool. I am first author on the publication of this research. I am glad I learned much of what is taught in the first year of medical school before attending because it eased my workload allowing me to partake in many other activities.
Grace Wanwan Zhang '12
Chatham's MS biology program allowed me to complete some of my pre-requisite courses along with taking the core graduate science classes towards my MS degree. During my education, I received invaluable pre-health advice and the necessary steps that I needed to take in order to become a competitive applicant for dental school. I particularly enjoyed the small class size and great faculty to student ratio, which ensured me to acquire ample mentorships from my professors and advisor. My experience at Chatham was exactly what I needed to help me succeed in getting into dental school. I was accepted at my top two choices soon after I graduated, and I know that I couldn't have succeeded without Chatham's MS biology program. I encourage all pre-health career bound students to take advantage of this program.
Corinna Singleman '09
I have always been intrigued by people who used scientific knowledge to make their communities, nation and the world, a better, more informed place. One of these people, Rachel Carson, was particularly interesting because of her drive to explore the consequences of introduced chemicals on our environment, as she described in "Silent Spring". As a budding biologist, I was initially attracted to Chatham University due to its association with Rachel Carson (an undergraduate alumna). When I visited the campus, I was immediately impressed by the extent of nature that Chatham has cultivated in the center of the city. Further exploration of campus and meetings with my advisor and other faculty showed me what a close and friendly community Chatham has. Throughout my time as a student, I found that all the faculty work closely together and are always willing to help and spend time outside of class discussing any issues. Many of the courses offered in the Master's Biology Program helped to broaden my interest and experience in field and ecological studies. While I enjoyed those courses that frequently brought me outdoors, one of the best experiences I had during my time at Chatham was dissections in the cadaver lab, which added so much to my anatomical knowledge. This experience has in turn aided me in teaching Anatomy & Physiology lab courses. Currently, I am a doctoral student at the CUNY Graduate Center where I both teach and work on my research project. My thesis includes the study of PCB contamination in the Hudson River. It is clear to me that my studies at Chatham, including "Chemical Analysis Lab" and "Environmental Policy" courses, have helped provide a framework for how I think about my project through its development. Overall, I had a remarkable time at Chatham, which has impacted both my teaching and current PhD project. The positive experience provided by the faculty, through the diverse range of courses offered combined to have a positive effect on my present work. While my path has led me away from Pittsburgh, I could easily see myself returning to Chatham for more than just a visit.

Thor's shampoo commercial
Are you tired of dry, damaged hair? Sick of split ends? Try Asgardia, the number one restorative shampoo in the universe!
Thor: The Dark World, which will henceforth be referred to as "Thor 2" because that's a silly title, has released its first trailer in advance of Iron Man 3's international release this weekend, and it's basically just a commercial for really great hair. Everyone looks great and beautiful and Thor has stunning luscious locks, and then there's Loki at the end, looking like he's walked straight out of an adult contemporary music video from 1993. That's one way to deal with your villain being more popular than your hero—make him look like ass.
This trailer is, um…merciful. Let's go with merciful. It's well cut, intriguing—how does that kid make the truck gravitate? Is this the Chronicle sequel?—visuals look good, and I love Sif side-eyeing Jane (shades of mythology). But they've gone to a lot of trouble to hide the plot. Can you tell me what it is? Hell, I KNOW what it is, but based off that trailer, I'd be hard pressed to make the connections. Which is kind of sad, actually, because Thor 2 is directed by Alan Taylor, a veteran of Game of Thrones, and there are real political aspects of the story that are completely ignored in favor of Jane's hair blowing in the wind. They should be selling this not as Thor's Hair Emporium but as "Westeros in space".
But back to Loki, because it's no use pretending like he isn't the real star of the show. He might look like Kenny G cosplay gone horribly awry but Loki gets the maximum-impact slow reveal usually reserved for the first look at the hero in all his glory. The Avengers left his fate open ended and now we're getting to see what has become of Thor's erstwhile baby brother: he's been sentenced to Ikea prison. And Thor needs his help. The most interesting thing in this trailer is the prospect of Thor springing Loki from jail to go on a cross-universe odd couple jaunt to rescue Thor's imperiled girlfriend (seriously, does she have a personality beyond "in distress"?). It's Game of Thrones meets Lethal Weapon!
First Loki needs a trip to Thor's Hair Emporium, though. They've got to do something about all that frizz.
