Stimulants affect how the brain controls
impulses and regulates behavior and attention. They do this by influencing the
availability of certain chemicals, called neurotransmitters, in the
Stimulants are considered for people
with moderate to severe
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who
have difficulty in at least two different settings, such as school and
home.1 Stimulant medicines with amphetamine, such as
Adderall, that are used for the treatment of ADHD are approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) for children age 3 and older. Stimulant medicines
with methylphenidate, such as Ritalin, are approved for children age 6 and
older. A doctor may prescribe methylphenidate for a child under age 6 based on the
child's specific needs.
Stimulants may be used in people who have ADHD and who also have
mood disorders, such as depression. The priority of which condition is treated
first usually depends on which is thought to be the main disorder.
Stimulants may be used in adults when antidepressants fail to control
ADHD symptoms. If antidepressants alone are not controlling symptoms,
stimulants may be added.
Stimulants may be the most
effective treatment for the symptoms of ADHD:
impulsivity, and
hyperactivity. These medicines can suddenly and
dramatically improve behavior. But some people need to try different types and
dosages of stimulants to find the one that works best for them. If treatment
with a stimulant is successful, it usually helps control symptoms over time
without increasing the dosage.1
In about
70 out of 100 people who have ADHD, stimulant medicines improve symptoms.1
Children often become calmer,
more organized, and less stubborn. Examples of behaviors that improve
Although stimulants may also improve social adjustment or
academic performance for some children, they have not been shown to sustain
this benefit over the long-term.
The most common (affecting
about 50 out of 100 people) side effects of stimulants are usually related to the dose and go away
after the first 2 to 3 weeks on the medicine. Persistent side effects can
usually be relieved by changing the dosage level, changing when the medicine is
given, or trying a different type of stimulant. The most common side effects
Other side effects are also usually temporary or go away
with dosage adjustment. These include:
Long-term use of stimulant medicine appears to be safe and effective.2
Stimulant medicines may be related to slower growth in children, especially in the first year of taking the medicine. But most children seem to catch up in height and weight by adulthood. Your doctor will keep track your child's growth and watch for problems.2
See Drug Reference for a full
list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Most of the medicines used to treat ADHD come with a U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) warning about possible heart-related or
mental problems. Before starting a medicine for ADHD, tell your doctor if your
child or you have any heart problems, heart defects, or mental health
Methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine usually take
effect within 1 hour after the first dose. Talk to your doctor about the best
time to take the medicine.
Treatment with stimulants may be
continued as long as the symptoms are present, the medicine continues to work,
and there are no significant side effects.
People with ADHD do not
tend to abuse stimulant medicine and very rarely develop dependence on (addiction to)
on the medicine. Also, there is no evidence that people with ADHD who
take stimulants are at greater risk for abusing other drugs. In fact, people
who take stimulants for ADHD may be less likely to abuse drugs.3
Some people buy or steal stimulant medicines.
Parents need to be certain that their child takes his or her medicine and does
not share it with or sell it to anyone else. If this is a concern, talk to your
doctor about your child taking a medicine in a safer form.
When stimulants are used to treat ADHD and a dose is missed, do not increase doses to
catch up. If several doses are missed, begin taking the medicine again on the
regular schedule.

Top best luxury SUV
By J on Thursday, December 20, 2018I bought the car February 2018, the styling and quality is superior to all German luxury SUVs. Before buying the car, I researched and drove the Q7, X5 and GL. The XC90 does not have the most power but the comfort, safety and styling is above all the vehicles I drove. I just wish that Volvo would upgrade engine to a V6/I6, I do feel the vehicle needs more power when going uphills or accelerating. Covenience package + Inscription is a must, you wont regret it.

Significant Issues with the brakes on the XC90.
By BuyersRemorse on Monday, November 12, 2018I had to replace the front pads and rotors at 14k miles and now at 20k miles have to replace the rear pads and rotors. This is way to soon. I drove a BMW for the last 12 years and replaced the rotors a total of two times and would get at least 30-40k miles out of the pads. The XC90 weighs 6000lbs which I think has a lot to do with the break issues. Volvo clearly went cheap on the breaks. 2nd. The Catalytic Converter at 20k went which was causing the check engine light to come on. Now that my car has been in the shop for a week, the Dealer is having trouble with the Catalytic Converter replacement, I am having severe reservations about the purchase of this SUV. After doing a little research on the break problem I found several other Volvo owners that have had an identical experience relative to the breaks. All this being said I have to give credit to Volvo as cooperate has agreed to handle the repairs under warranty but what happens 14k miles from now when I'm doing this all over again??? This is a very well appointed vehicle with some pretty cool features but if they are failing with the quality of the (simple) mechanical elements, I have very low expectations for the sophisticated electrical components

By Boy Alroy on Thursday, November 15, 2018I bought this re-designed, luxury, recapped, SUV. Love it. Recommend it. Keep it. Love it. For interested people in the XC90, I must say it is LUXURY to Level Infinite. The second greatest SUV I had, (Toyota Land Cruiser is my #1). I owned ugly SUV-s like a 2009 Kia Sorento. I traded it in for my xc90. I love her. She's my north star. She's the best. Buy it :),

text: Monday, August 27, 2012 Mergers Help Companies 'Cope' With Smaller Profits, Compliance Costs Two mergers announced last week suggest that the health care industry is "increasingly turning to consolidation as a way to cope with smaller profit margins and higher compliance costs that many anticipate" when reforms under the Affordable Care Act take effect, says a Washington Post article. Both acquisitions will affect the Washington, DC, area. On August 20, Aetna announced it will buy Maryland-based Coventry Health Care, which provides Medicare and Medicaid services, for $5.7 billion. Two days later, Health Care REIT announced an $845 million deal to acquire Sunrise Senior Living, which is based in McLean, Virginia. Sunrise manages 300 senior living facilities in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, including 25 in the Washington region. The Coventry deal will add 5 million members to Aetna's existing pool of 36.7 million enrollees. The merger will help Aetna reduce overhead costs and boost Coventry's ability to market to more consumers on state-run health insurance exchanges, the article says. Aetna's planned purchase of Coventry follows similar announcements of large acquisitions. In October 2011, Cigna reached an agreement to acquire HealthSpring. Last month, WellPoint announced plans to acquire Amerigroup. Because a real estate investment trust such as Health Care REIT cannot both own and operate its real estate, Sunrise will likely continue to be run independently. Still, many health care experts predict nursing homes, senior communities, and other long-term care facilities will follow a similar path of consolidation because small and mid-size operators will struggle to afford compliance costs, the Post says.

Shah asked:
I am the maintainer of a project which has a large non-technical userbase. I've been maintaining it for about four years now and adding new features as they've been requested.
I'd like to move on to other projects and stop developing for this application. Because of the non-technical nature of the users, there have been very few code contributions in the past. I don't believe I will be able to find anyone else to take over the project in my stead.
Bugs, issues, feature requests—these are still coming in. I am still responding to e-mails for help, as I am not sure if I should ignore them, tell them that I'm not working on the application, or if I should respond to e-mails in only certain cases.
What is the best way to 'abandon' this project, but still let people use the application?
See the original question here.
Make some money
I'm guessing this is not a project you have undertaken for an employer, or for income, but something you do unpaid in your spare time.
If you are making no money on this project, then there is probably little incentive for you and no incentive for anyone else to come in fresh to deal with it. (Unless it's for a charity or similar volunteer organization, in which case you have a whole new set of problems and should probably ask another question.)
As an alternative to shutting down your project completely, why not look at the possibility of adding paid features. You may be surprised to find that your users are willing to pay, especially when the alternative is getting shut down. Of course, asking users to pay may cause many to abandon your app, but that's hardly a terrible problem when you're actively considering shutting down the project in the first place.
Another option could be to use the project as a sandbox to teach yourself new technologies. Is it a website? Upgrade to something people are talking about. Convert from Asp.Net to MVC4 for example, build a mobile version, make it service based and create an iOS app front-end for it.
Just a few ideas. You've got a good problem to have.
Related: "How to tell a client I no longer want to work on his project?"
Go out gracefully
You have a couple of options as other have noted. My option is to put out an end of life notice. Indicate that the product will be shutting down on such and such a date.
Additionally indicate that since this product is nearing end of life, only critical bugs that impact the ability of the application to function as designed or intended will be addressed, i.e. if the server is down you will get it up and running again.
If users have data, you may have to add a way for them to export it.
Take a look at what Google recently did with Reader for guidance. They shut it down and it was a very popular service, but it didn't fit their long term goals so the tough decision to shut it down needed to be made.
Vorac comments: A similar, excellent project that was discontinued: picoos.sourceforge.net
Heir to the throne
Announce your abandoning of the product to your community of users. Maybe you will find a successor for your role as maintainer. Try to organize some type of handover, as you would with a project in your day job.
As esr put it in The Cathedral And The Bazaar:
When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor.

Just Natural Alopecia Hair Loss Treatment
Dr. Huebner: Dr. Huebner here. Natural transplants and I'm here with our superstar Tanya. And a lot of people been watching Tanya's videos from the very beginning when she had her surgery day to her five-month. Five months or seven months. I think we had…
Tanya: Four months.
Dr. Huebner: Four months yeah and then a seven month something and now it's a year. So this is her latest video at a year. Her final result. Tanya tell us about your hair. How do you feel about it? How has your life been?
Tanya: It's been great I love my hair. You know nobody knows I did this, so yeah nobody can say like your hair is growing in. So everybody just always says I have really pretty hair, so nobody knows. A lot of the young ladies call me when they want to ask questions and talk to me and things like that but other than that no one knows about it.
Dr. Huebner: Yeah. Okay good so it looks natural no one's saying it looks unnatural nobody even knew you look like that before and they think you have normal hair.
Tanya: That's correct.
Dr. Huebner: Perfect.
Tanya: Yeah the only people that know is my YouTube haters and lovers because I have them both.
Dr. Huebner: There is a lot of haters out there and a lot of lovers out there so but you're certainly…
Tanya: I like both of them, it doesn't matter to me. Me and Dr. Matt was talking and we're going to answer some of your questions because we get a lot of YouTube hits. I guess my app pops up at a lot of places so. He can't answer all of your questions because he doesn't have my hair. A lot of you young ladies want to know if you can get a relaxer. First, I want to say I don't do anything unless the doc tells me to. Before I do something I call him first because you girls are thinking with my ponytail you were saying I'm going to take my hair back out I'm going to take my edges back out. Ponytails don't take out edges. Number one. Number two if you were listening to my video, I was explaining that my hair was not pulled back in the ponytail, not mine. Excuse me, my transplant plant here. It was just laid down. It was not any tension on that part right. She just sprayed it and laid it down. The type of hair texture I have I can do that. A lot of people can't but I can. So no I was not putting in any traction on my hair. So if you get this procedure remember don't do anything that's going to pull it on a constant basis. Dr. Matt we talk all the time and he was explaining to me that anything I do I need to do it in moderation but don't do anything that I'm like you know pulling. So that's common sense. I would never do that. I didn't do this, to come this far to take my hair back out.
Dr. Huebner: I agree. Yes, absolutely. How does it look on the other side there Tanya? For the viewers maybe we could show.
Tanya: Oh listen, let me show you guys how long it's…
Dr. Huebner: So that's all new transplant hair.
Tanya: Okay and so you can see that, I don't know how good it's going to show but my hair guys my hair was long so I can do anything and it just blends right in, see. So see, I just blended that that short part back in. You know your hair grows like a couple of inches a month or whatever so remember it was gone. So right here is just my hair brush back now that my hair is a certain length, I can brush it back. I can brush it back.
Dr. Huebner: Now look at that edge now you have the sideburn there that wasn't there before that's all recreated. None of that was there.
Tanya: Yeah. If you guys remember all of this was gone.
Dr. Huebner: It was all gone. Your forehead was twice the size you were you know, it affected you.
Tanya: Yeah and you know some of you think that my hairline looks fake I promise for everything. This is my hairline. Dr. Matt didn't make me one.
Dr. Huebner: No that's your old hairline.
Tanya: Right. Back in the day I have an apple head guys. Here is a round circle so my hairline literally the way God made me it's that this is my hairline. He just took it. Because remember I had a little bit of hair so he was able to see where to put it.
Dr. Huebner: The remnants of your old hairline were there so we could see exactly where it was yep. So yeah but not to say you couldn't load it anywhere you wanted to but that's just natural. That's as natural as it gets.
Tanya: Right which comes to my next…me and him talk for a while. A lot of you guys are asking can he lower the hair lines. I said it last time but he can. He literally asked me if I wanted it lowered. If I wanted my hairline changed and I told him no I want my natural hairline because you know I didn't know what it was going to be. But as you can see, what he did he is awesome because look he blended. You see how the part was short but look you can't even tell. I just have my hair in this style. This is the style I wanted to wear this week.
Dr. Huebner: Yep awesome. What other questions are you getting? Anything else you want to answer on the video?
Tanya: Yes, I'm going to disappoint most of you probably because you were begging me not to get a relaxer but guess what? I got one. I know my haters are going to go crazy but a lot of ladies was asking can they get a relaxer. So again I asked my doctor and he told me I don't even have to wait the year but I just got the relaxer last week. My year was up on the 28th but I'm going to tell you I'm in Jacksonville Florida and it is hot as fish grease. And it's really humid. In the afternoon it rains so it was really hard for me to take care of my hair like the what I do for a living. The certain look that I had I couldn't do it without relaxer. So that's why I did it. My hair is still nice and healthy. I know how to take care of my hair. A lot of you think I'm– I do know how to take care of my hair. The years of the braids were over and I see some of you arguing about the braid thing to each other. As you keep wearing braids your hair gets thinner in the nape area. It gets thinner. And if you don't stop you will have tractional alopecia. Again to make myself clear, I'm 40 that's how old I am. I was wearing braids in my twenties. All in my twenties. It's like I just was cocky like, oh my hair go back. When I saw it thinning and then I have identical triplets and I was 33 and I had got these microbraids. And I was wearing them. The whole pregnancy I was so lazy I didn't want to do my hair and when I took those micro braids off my hair was like bye-bye that's it. So that's when I started getting like, I didn't even realize it pushed it back and this it fell out. I stopped getting the relaxers because I thought that but you know and I started going to dermatologists and I was doing all kind of stuff rubbing things on but once those hair follicles are dead, it's gone. It's bad you can't do anything about it. Another question, Dr. Matt asked me to address was you girls are asking about if your hair is falling out in the inner area can he transplant the hair and if so will it fall out? The answer is no because listen. This part of your hair is one genetic trait gene, whatever. The back of your hair is the difference that's why a lot of men lose their hair in the front and they have hair in the back. So when he takes that hair out of the back and puts it in the front it's a completely different genetics so you can't… pulp that he puts in it grows out of that. So I know it's hard to understand but a lot of phone calls I've gotten, they ask me that like isn't your hair going to just fall right back out? And that's not the case. The reason why I know because I researched it and then I got my good doc here. Because of the number of views, we're getting and the questions like he has to teach me how to answer your questions and show me what it means. So when young ladies are calling me from all of the world they're like I don't get that's that works. And what it is he literally puts a completely different genetic hair graph from the back to the front and your hair starts growing on it. So now like this hair right here is not the same hair texture as it was before. This hair is now the hair texture that is back here. So it's thicker.
Dr. Huebner: It's the same hair. Yeah all you're doing is moving it from the back to the front and that hair is resistant to any genetic changes that you may have. A lot of people not only have traction alopecia, they have kind of thinness up top because it runs in their family. So by taking it from the back you're basically solving both problems. You're putting that there and that's there for good so even when you're older it'll still be the same thickness. So yep.
Tanya: Think about it like this. Remember how he said he can change your hairline; you don't grow hair on your forehead. So by him changing your hairline and that hair is growing like that it doesn't matter. It's because he put it inside. And that's what it's going out of so hopefully I've answered that. I've answered the ponytail question. I answered the relaxer question. So yes young ladies, you can get a relaxer. Try not to get it within the first six months. Even the doc said I could but from my experience I'm going to tell you this. Your hair is still growing and adapting and like it doesn't all grow at the same time. Like it's growing but you still…like right now doc told me that six months from now it will still be some growing. That's not going now. I still might get a certain percentage probably within another what you say six months to a year or something like. It's constantly growing so just try to wait it out to kind of see.
Dr. Huebner: Natural is the best way. Natural is the best way to go so less is more sometimes.
Tanya: Yeah it's just where I live. I think if I was up somewhere where it was always medium temperature that I could have made it but constantly getting a blowout that's just damaging. So I'm the type of person I go to the stylist every week because of this weather. So things like that. And my stylist she takes care of my hair and so I'm confident that I'll be fine. But I just wanted to answer those questions. Me and the doc we're looking at all the YouTube comments and things like that and we talked about me answering some of the questions. Oh yeah, you guys have been asking about that sutured the cut, you can't even see. First of all, I don't have keloid skin. So because, I don't have keloid skin. My stylist, she can't even find my cut. It's almost like it has disappeared. Seriously. I have my husband digging through and he was like man you only see my cut if I probably shave bald because the line is like completely, I don't know how he did that.
Dr. Huebner: Years of experience that's what, that's how you do that. But it's not an issue for you it's not like you losing any hair in the back it doesn't make any difference.
Tanya: No oh someone, one of the young ladies I have a lot of women that call me do I won't say any names but one of them asks me about the hair growth in the back and the hair growth in the front. Yes, the hair growth in the back is faster. Like my back part is like this long already. Where he shaved it you can't see any like it just looks like my hair. You can't see like a line. She asks me if you can see. You can't tell anything is different. You can't tell at all. And it has grown, it grows quicker in the back for me that's the way my hair goes. My hair in the back grows quicker. So like I said it's long in the back. It's almost this much to where my real length is and the front yes is growing slower but it's growing. Like my stylist is like oh my gosh it's growing so fast because remember it was bald. And when he started it over they had to break through the skin and start growing so… But as you can see you can't even tell it is shorter because how the hair is. It's just blending very well. I didn't want to wear it all back so I wanted you guys to be able to see that to wear your hair. I can do whatever I want to it now.
Dr. Huebner: And fortunately you can bring it back in a ponytail yeah. So you can do whatever you want your back to normal. Back to where you were before.
Tanya: So a lot you wanted to see what it looks like after a year. it does. And I'm and again I'm a show you. The doctor told me to make sure I'm showing you. And remember I have a relaxer. So this is amazing. It didn't thin it. It didn't make me look like I had little no. It is perfect. So he wanted you to see. And this I just had brush back and tuck right here so that's it with that.
Dr. Huebner: Well thank you so much Tanya. This has been very informative. You have a lot of fans now and I'm going to put some pictures on there too. I'm going to see if Tanya can maybe send us some pictures. We can put on there as well so you can see a little better.
Tanya: Okay I'll take some.
Dr. Huebner: Awesome. Thank you so much Tanya. and you know I think maybe in the future every once in a while with me would address some questions people are asking you on YouTube or whatnot.
Tanya: Oh definitely.
Dr. Huebner: It's maybe easier to do it in this format.
Tanya: He said as long as you guys keep asking questions. He'll call me up and I'll answer the questions. I'm sorry if I didn't it was so many questions but those are like the main ones. You guys I promise you I'm not going to take my hair out.
Dr. Huebner: Well, we follow you up to see though. All right tiny thank you so much.
Tanya: Thank you talk to you later.

Rigatoni with Walnut, Parsley, and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto. And, Yes, It Is a Pesto.
There once was a time when basil reigned supreme. A time when basil was ubiquitous in Italian dishes. A time when pesto always meant basil.
Not anymore.
Pesto is a Ligurian sauce made from mashed basil, garlic, parmesan, olive oil, and pine nuts. Though it has been enjoyed by Italians for centuries, it's a newborn to American cuisine. Sunset magazine was instrumental in introducing this sauce to Americans, when in 1946, it published a pesto recipe by Tuscan native, Angelo Pellegrini. It wasn't until the 1980's and early '90s that pesto became widely popular with chefs and home cooks, who could easily buy fresh basil at the market.
Maybe it was boredom with basil. Maybe it was creative genius by some chefs. Whatever it was, by the mid to late '90s new "pestos" made with herbs such as mint, parsley, and sage were popping up in restaurants and in cooking magazines. Now "pesto" would have to be qualified: mint pesto or sage pesto. Some people were thrilled. Others confused. Some indignant. Pesto purists (you know who you are) will argue that "pesto," refers to the Ligurian sauce made with basil. For them, all other "pestos" are imposters.
You can call me a swindler or a sell-out, but I say, if it's a sauce made with herbs, nuts, oil, and cheese, then it's a pesto. And I'm sticking to it. That is, unless Anthony Bourdain or Mark Bittman or Judith Jones emails me directly to say that I'm wrong. Then I'll change my mind. Maybe.
Rigatoni with Walnut, Parsley, and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
Serves 4-6
Print recipe only here.
The tiny pieces of rich olive oil-soaked sun-dried tomatoes and earthy walnuts make this a satisfyingly thick, knobby pesto that bursts with flavor.
1 cup fresh flat leaf parsley
1 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
1 small garlic clove
3 tablespoons olive oil soaked sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for garnish
1 tablespoon water, or more if needed
1 pound rigatoni
1. In a food processor, combine the parsley, walnuts, cheese, and garlic.* Process until the mixture is finely chopped. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil, then water in a steady stream, and process until smooth. (Add additional water or olive if necessary to achieve desired consistency.) Set aside.
*Note regarding garlic: If you don't prefer the pungency of raw garlic, then heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add garlic, and saute until slightly golden, 2-3 minutes. Then add to food processor.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta. Cook, stirring frequently, until al dente (tender but firm to the bite), about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta.
3. Place the pasta in a large warmed serving bowl. Top with pesto, and toss well. Garnish with grated cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

Pesto impostor: "impestor"?
I've never made pesto without basil. It's nice to know it can still be called pesto without basil. I tend to lean more towards the correct-term food snobbery. Not my best personality trait.

Pesto, or 'pistou' loosely translates as 'pounded', but over time became known as the standard offering that it is today. Kind of like 'Kleenex'.
I did a spinach pesto this past spring that was delicious, and also a beet green pesto that was loaded with deep earthy flavor. This one looks perfect for more experimenting.

I'll side with you in the argument. Basil is lovely, but I also like to make "pesto" with coriander and parsley. They are less pungent and very versatile as dips, garnishes, sauces.

I love pestos and agree with your pesto logic. From Etymology Online:(pestare "to pound, to crush," in ref. to the crushed herbs and garlic in it, from L. root of pestle.) Also, consider the word paste.

I am definitely not a purist ... and I might even change the definition to include nut-free versions (there is this one that I get at the local farmers' market that is a basil nut-free pesto -- out of this world). This version sounds delish.

You can't go wrong with walnuts and pesto ;)
Pesto means 'I pound (in a mortar)', so in a way you're right... however as you say for Italians 'pesto' is just the one made with basil ;) Cheers!

Even in Italy, pestos without basil are very common. An extremely traditional one in winter is walnut and parsley. Sicilians use chiles in their pesto. Pesto with sun-dried tomatoes is not uncommon south of Napoli.
So rage on, sistah! Your pesto is just as authentic as anyone else's -- just don't use a food processor! The one thing a pesto MUST be is pounded with a mortar and pestle...

The Story of Citizens United
Do you want a healthy environment, good jobs with fair wages, access to affordable health care? So do most Americans, but too often our political system stands in the way. Why is that, if we live in a democracy?
Annie Leonard (creator of The Story of Stuff, The Story of Cap & Trade, The Story of Cosmetics, The Story of Bottled Water, and The Story of Electronics) is back, this time with a pithy video that takes on the role of corporate power in American democracy. A year ago, the Supreme Court decided in Citizens United v. The Federal Elections Commission that corporations are persons with the right to free speech—including the right to spend unlimited money to influence the outcome of elections. In the next federal election, the 2010 midterms, outside groups spent more money than they had in all the midterms since 1990—combined.
Of course, corporations are much more powerful than most real people—of the 100 largest economies in the world, Annie points out, more than half aren't countries, but corporations—and they're also required, by law, to pursue maximum profits, even at the expense of the environment or jobs. So it's not that surprising that their interests aren't in line with those of most Americans, or that 85 percent of us now feel that corporations have too much influence in our democracy.

Oregon AG to Implement Gay Marriage if Ban Falls
Oregon's attorney general told a federal court Tuesday why she believes the state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages violates the federal constitutional rights of homosexual couples. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum added that Oregon is prepared to implement gay marriages if a federal judge strikes down the ban.
Rosenblum announced last month that she would not defend the state's same-sex marriage ban in court.
Two lawsuits alleging that Oregon's 2004 ban violates the U.S. Constitution have been consolidated. U.S. District Judge Michael McShane has scheduled April 23 oral arguments.
In a 35-page brief filed Tuesday, Rosenblum said there is no rational justification for maintaining the gay marriage ban, The Oregonian reported (http://is.gd/xRi4mA ). She also said that federal constitutional protections for same-sex couples have become clear since Oregon voters approved the ban.
Allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry is not a redefinition of marriage, the attorney general wrote. Instead, she said the plaintiffs in this case "seek the same right to marry that the state offers opposite-sex couples and not a right to any newly invented form of marriage."
Court rulings that have affected the national debate include the U.S. Supreme Court's June decision to strike down part of the federal law that prevented the government from recognizing same-sex marriages.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also recently found that gays and lesbians cannot be precluded from jury duty because of their sexual orientation. That ruling extended civil rights protections to gays that the U.S. Supreme Court previously promised only to women and racial minorities.
The two decisions create an atmosphere that Rosenblum and several other attorneys general believe will make defenses of gay-marriage bans unlikely to succeed.
Oregon's marriage ban cannot survive "when it is apparent that the reason for the ban was to enshrine in the state constitution a belief that same-sex couples are disfavored," Rosenblum wrote.
Mike Marshall, the campaign manager for Oregon United for Marriage, was delighted.
"We are literally counting down the days until all loving and committed couples in Oregon have the freedom to marry, and we are thrilled that the attorney general is on the right side of history," he said.
The group is leading an initiative campaign that would overturn Oregon's ban. Marshall has previously said the group may not seek to put its measure on the ballot if McShane rules against the ban.
Officials of the Oregon Family Council, which has supported the prohibition on same-sex marriage, could not be immediately reached for comment.
Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, criticized Rosenblum's earlier announcement that she would not defend the ban, saying she was "shamefully abandoning her constitutional duty to defend the marriage amendment overwhelmingly enacted by the people of Oregon."
In several other states, federal judges have voided all or part of voter-approved bans on same-sex marriage. Appeals are pending.

'The Falcon Lake Incident' - The Weakerthans With Jim Bryson
While technically Jim Bryson's 4th album, the href="http://www.kingsroadmerch.com/anti-records/artist/?id=71">ANTI Store is offering The Falcon Lake Incident for the obvious fact that The Weakerthans are the backing band, from John K. Samson's backing vocals all the way down.
Recorded in sub-zero temperatures at Falcon Lake, on the border of The Weakerthans home in Manitoba and Bryson's home of Ontario, this showcases Bryson's beloved folk as the centerpiece that is backed by The Weakerthans. You get the feeling that more records need to be created by five incredibly talented guys locked together in a cabin in the middle of a Canadian winter.
This is the only place where The Falcon Lake Incident is being offered for the US and is available on CD and 180 gram vinyl.

The Splendid Table
Sunday, 2 p.m. – 3 p.m.
on News Station
The Splendid Table has been at the forefront of food issues and policies since its inception. Long before eating local became a catchphrase and farmers' markets became ubiquitous, The Splendid Table was talking about the changes needed in the food system and what was happening on the grassroots level. In fact, when The Splendid Table first went on the air, Lynne had to make sure to define such terms as "organic" and "sustainable" for listeners. Today those terms have become part of the everyday lexicon, and people's hunger for wholesome food and the rituals surrounding it has only increased.
Special guests are also essential to The Splendid Table's ongoing culinary conversation. The late Julia Child was a steadfast advocate of The Splendid Table and appeared on the program numerous times. Among the parade of outstanding guests are food activist Michael Pollan, author of such books as The Omnivore's Dilemma and Food Rules; film director and writer Nora Ephron; famed Spanish chef José Andrés; the late director Ismail Merchant; food writer Anthony Bourdain; chef Mario Batali; Franz Ferdinand lead singer Alex Kapranos, who is also a food critic; and classical violinist extraordinaire Joshua Bell, who enjoyed an in-home cooking lesson from Lynne.

A damning new report into maths education blames an over-politicised system for narrow teaching, uninterested students and demotivated teachers.

A damning new report into maths education blames an over-politicised system for narrow teaching, uninterested students and demotivated teachers.

Mathematics is used in interesting, and often less than accurate, ways. Newspapers present graphs showing apparently correlated variables, but with a little thought, some of the time you will find that whilst it looks like two variables are connected, there is actually no cause and effect. An unscrupulous media can draw connections where they don't exist for political ends and politicians have been known to confuse cause and effect entirely. So what really is behind the rise in oil prices? Could it be the humble game of cricket?

Mathematicians are known to be good musicians. Here is a mathematical parody of the Gloria Gaynor song, "I will survive". I particularly like the lyrics:
And so now I, I will derive.
Find the derivative of x position with respect to time.
It's as easy as can be, just have to take dx/dt.
I will derive, I will derive, I will derive!
A boomerang has been thrown in space, and lo and behold, it returns to its thrower, just like on Earth.
Japanese astronaut Takao Doi threw the boomerang on request from world boomerang champion, compatriot Yasuhiro Togai onboard the International Space Station.
"I was very surprised and moved to see that it flew the same way it does on Earth," Doi was quoted as saying in the Mainichi Shimbun.
Barry Phipps is the first interdisciplinary fellow with the Kettle's Yard gallery in Cambridge. His remit is to develop projects of an interdisciplinary nature, to find the common ground between things. Plus talks to Barry about breaking down the barriers between artists and scientists and creating greater dialogue because, as Barry says, science and art are intrinsically related at the centre, and there is no stepping away from one to be another. This podcast accompanies the career interview in issue 47 of Plus.

It is one of my favourite times of year, and I'm not even European.
The Eurovision Song Contest to Australians is a strange mix of bad 80s music, songs about "joy", "love" and "unity", amazingly good-looking hosts, scantily dressed Eastern Europeans and reality TV winners from Western Europe.
But another reason I love it is because it is about politics and maths. For the first time in my life, living in the UK, I get a chance to vote for the winner and watch it live instead of having to ignore radio reports (of course it's all over the news) till the Sydney Sunday evening replay.
The voting of Eurovision is a complex interaction of politics and voting blocks. Each country votes in a popular vote, in which they cannot vote for themselves, and each country has equal voting power. Voting is often based on politics — Cyprus and Greece nearly always exchange votes — and I can remember the days when Ireland and the UK were similarly connected. On the other hand, France does not vote for the UK and the Balkan states have mixed allegiances.
Eurovision is a perfect example of what mathematicians call a complex system. This consists of a group of objects (countries) which interact with each other (by giving each other points for their songs), and this interaction can be tracked over time. A statistical analysis of the system can then give some insight in the nature of the interaction. For example, it can show whether certain countries form cliques that always vote similarly, or whether a country's voting is largely "in tune" with that of the whole group.
Some time ago a team of Oxford scientists performed statistical tests to see whether the voting behaviours of different countries are in some way related. In every statistical test you need a "control experiment" to compare your results to. Suppose, for example, that two countries always seem to vote the same way. Then, before you can deduce that their musical tastes are indeed related, you need to show that the two countries vote the same way significantly more often than would happen in a song contest in which the countries' voting is truly independent. To create such a control experiment, the team simulated a "random song contest", in which each country assigns its points randomly to 10 other countries. They then compared the results of all their tests to the random contest.
One such test involves seeing whether voting relationships between countries persists over time. If, for example, country A gives and/or receives points from another country B over a long period of time, then we can deduce that in some way the musical tastes of the two countries are related. Carrying out the same analysis between country A and all other countries in turn will show whether or not country A is "in tune" with the rest of Europe.
Another test observes the number of countries to which a given country A has awarded points and from which it has also received points. If a country has many such "reciprocal links", then one might deduce that its musical taste harmonises well with that of Europe in general.
The remaining tests were devised to identify cliques of countries whose voting behaviour is correlated. For example, the team checked to see whether two countries that have both received and/or awarded points to a third country are likely to give or receive points from each other.
And the results of the study? Well, you'll just have to read our Plus article United Kingdom - twelve points for more information on the statistical tests, and don't forget to vote!

Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Brake Light Switch Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a brake light switch?
The brake light switch is a small electrical component situated on or in contact with the brake pedal. The purpose of this switch is to allow the brake lights to illuminate when the brake pedal moves.
How does the brake light switch work?
One end of this small switch looks like a small button, and when it is pressed the brake lights turn off. The button is pressed by the brake pedal unless the brake pedal is compressed. This creates the situation where the brake lights turn on anytime the brakes are pressed. It is easiest to consider the brake light switch to work the opposite of the brake pedal. When the pedal is pressed, the switch is not, likewise, when the switch is pressed, the brake pedal is resting. This switch also sends a signal to the ignition switch and gear selector. The purpose of this signal is to ensure the brake pedal is pressed before starting the vehicle, or moving the gear selector out of park.
What are the symptoms related to a bad brake light switch?
Consumers often complain that the brake lights stay on and drain the battery when not in use. Additionally, the brake lights may not illuminate when pressing the brake pedal. Often, and especially in modern vehicles, this will result in the inability to start the vehicle, or shift the transmission out of the park position.
Can I drive with a brake light switch problem?
Driving a vehicle with a faulty brake light switch is dangerous, if not impossible. If the brake lights stay on constantly, the vehicle may not have enough power to start after sitting for several hours. If the brake lights do not turn on, the vehicle may be illegal to operate. Additionally, other drivers on the road may think the tail lights of the vehicle are turned on, leaving them unaware when you are braking, and causing a traffic accident. The vehicle may not move from park, even if the gear selector is manually released.
How often do brake light switches need to be replaced?
The brake light switch is known to fail under all conditions, and at no particular age or mileage. Often they are placed where the drivers feet may contact them, and dust, dirt, water, and other contaminants are common. These factors can contribute to malfunctioning. Especially in stop and go traffic, the brake light switch is constantly in use, and this wear and tear will eventually lead to failure.
How are brake light switch issues diagnosed?
Diagnosis of the brake light switch is quick and easy for the trained professional. When the brake lights fail to illuminate, or the transmission cannot be shifted from park, the technician will look for a bad fuse first, then, the brake light switch electrical connector must be tested to confirm it is delivering sufficient electrical power to the switch. If there is sufficient power, the switch is tested with the button pressed and released. The result will determine if the switch has failed. When the brake lights will not turn off, the switch is inspected to ensure contact is being made with the brake pedal. If the brake light switch is mechanically functioning properly, it will be tested with the button pressed and released.
How is a brake light switch replaced?
Replacement of a faulty switch requires removal of retaining hardware, and one electrical connector. Installation is the reverse, but the switch must be adjusted so that the brake lights will turn on when the brake pedal is pressed, and turn off when the brake pedal is in the resting position.
RepairPal Recommendations for brake light switch issues
If the repair and diagnosis of your brake light issue is being trusted to a repair facility, we recommend having the vehicle towed, and taken out of service prior to the repair. In cases where the transmission cannot be shifted from park, the best course of action is to use a flatbed wrecker that raises all four wheels of the vehicle off the ground, preventing harm to the transmission as the drive wheels will not turn.
What to look out for when dealing with brake light switch issues
Failure of the transmission to shift from park is not always caused by the brake light switch. The shift interlock system may be faulty, or contaminants, like coffee and soda, may have spilled in the shift interlock release, causing it to stick.
Can I replace the brake light switch myself?
This is an excellent DIY project that can be completed with minimal effort. We do not advise swapping parts as a testing method, as greater cost is normally incurred in this manner. Assuming a very basic knowledge of the path of electricity through the switch, testing the switch, fuse and circuit are very basic, and straightforward. Also, replacement requires only basic hand-tools. Persons who lack a basic knowledge of testing a series circuit should refer diagnosis to a certified professional.

Immunization is key to preventing disease. Vaccines benefit both the people who get them, and the vulnerable, unvaccinated people around them because the infection can no longer spread through the community if most people are immunized. In addition, immunizations reduce the number of deaths and disability from infections, such as measles, whooping cough, and chickenpox.
Although children get the majority of the vaccinations, adults also need to be sure they are already immune to certain infections and stay up-to-date on certain vaccinations, including varicella, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, mumps, rubella, shingles, human papillomavirus (HPV), pneumococcal, hepatitis A and B, flu, and meningococcal. Childhood illnesses, such as mumps, measles, and chickenpox, can cause serious complications in adults.
Many childhood diseases can now be prevented by following recommended guidelines for vaccinations:
A child's first vaccination is given at birth. Immunizations are scheduled throughout childhood, with many beginning within the first few months of life. By following a regular schedule, and making sure a child is immunized at the right time, you are ensuring the best defense against dangerous childhood diseases.
As with any medicine, vaccinations may cause reactions, usually in the form of a sore arm or low-grade fever. Although serious reactions are rare, they can happen, and your child's doctor or nurse may discuss these with you before giving the shots. However, the risks for contracting the diseases the immunizations provide protection from are higher than the risks for having a reaction to the vaccine.
Treating mild reactions to immunizations in children:
Aspirin should not be given to children or teenagers because of the risk for Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease. Therefore, pediatricians and other healthcare providers recommend that aspirin not be used to treat any fever in children.
If more serious symptoms occur, call your child's healthcare provider right away. These symptoms may include:

Tinariwen Premiere New Video For "Iswegh Attay"
Celebrated North African "Touareg" band Tinariwen will be premiering a new video for their song "Iswegh Attay" off their Grammy nominated Anti-Records release Tassili today at Pitchfork.com. The beautifully shot clip features the band performing the mournful and evocative song as they enact a ritualistic tea drinking ceremony sacred to their nomadic North African culture.
The ceremony depicted involves green tea, fresh mint, lots of sugar and a meticulous preparation. When the first pot is drained, the process is repeated using the same tea leaves, but adding sugar. Then it's done a third time. Tea is always brewed thrice. It's a ritual as rigid and formal as a Japanese tea ceremony. The name of the three tea servings; the first is bitter as death, the second is sweet as life and the third is soft as love.
The haunting and rhythmic music played over artistically shot images of this ceremony create a mood of longing and loss that is unforgettable. To view this video care of Pitchfork.com, just go here.
On Tassili the renowned "Touareg" band returned to the essence of their hypnotic desert blues sound. Recorded in the South-Eastern Algerian desert, the band is joined by Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone of TV On The Radio. Later on, virtuoso guitarist Nels Cline of Wilco and the horns of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band contributed.
"Let's get one thing straight: Tinariwen is just about the best guitar-based rock band of the 21st century." - NPR
