Sares-Regis Gets 25 Acres in Orange
Saturday, February 2, 2013
Irvine-based Sares-Regis Group, one of the most active industrial developers in Southern California over the past year, has bought a 25-acre property in the city of Orange that real estate watchers believe could eventually see more industrial construction.
The privately held real estate investor and developer recently closed on the purchase of land and property at 2060 N. Batavia St. The site is in a largely industrial part of Orange, a little more than a mile northeast of Angel Stadium of Anaheim.
The property includes a nearly 228,000-square-foot industrial building that records show being close to 50 years old.
Real estate sources estimate the property sold for more than $30 million.
The building at 2060 N. Batavia is fully leased to Media, Pa.-based foam manufacturer FXI, which previously operated under the Foamex International Inc. name.
Property records show the property being sold by an entity listed as Pegasus Properties, whose ownership includes former executives of Foamex, which was taken private in 2009 following a stint in bankruptcy.
Several real estate sources familiar with the property expect Sares-Regis to redevelop the site once FXI departs, although timing for that move is unclear. It is believed that the foam manufacturer has a lease for the building that runs into early next year, which could be extended.
The 25-acre site appears large enough to support development of one high-end industrial building in the 500,000-square-foot range, or several smaller buildings that could total closer to 400,000 square feet.
A development of that size range would be among the largest industrial projects to break ground in Orange County in several years.
The only development larger than 500,000 square feet currently on the books is Sacramento-based Panattoni Development Co.'s Anaheim Concourse project, which should see nearly 1.6 million square feet of high-end buildings break ground this year.
Questions Remain
No plans for new construction at the Batavia Avenue property have been announced to date by Sares-Regis, and there appears to be no redevelopment plans filed with the city of Orange.
Sares-Regis executives noted last week that Foamex still has a lease for the site.
New construction at the site would be in keeping with Sares-Regis' aggressive push in industrial development—much of it just outside OC—of late.
The company has close to $400 million of industrial development now under way, according to Peter Rooney, Sares-Regis president for commercial investments.
Long Beach
The company is moving ahead with development of land at Douglas Park in Long Beach, near the city's airport. The land there is expected to hold several million square feet of commercial space.

@DRPORKCHOP: They do have a song together. It hasn't been officially released but if you Google "Fuck the Money by B.o.B & Wiz Khalifa Download" I'm sure you can find it. The original version of Fuck the Money had Asher Roth, but he made another with Wiz. It was supposed to be on No Genre...not sure why it wasn't.
i understand the sentence, pop stands for popular it transcends genres, everyone loves it no matter what they always listen to, and i think their music is very (pop)ular

Fired for fighting: John Paxson must leave Chicago Bulls for provoking confrontation with Vinny Del Negro
The Quick Hit: John Paxson, the player, was known for knocking down jump shots. John Paxson, the front office suit, may be known for knocking down coaches.
Today, reports surfaced that the former guard and current Executive Vice President of the Chicago Bulls provoked a 'physical altercation' with sideline boss Vinny Del Negro over Joakim Noah's playing time following a March 30th loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Let us be clear: 'physical altercation' is code for fight. And while Paxson vs. Del Negro isn't exactly Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier or even Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy, their wee donnybrook is sufficient grounds for Michael Jordan's backcourt mate to finally be fired.
As soon as Chicago's season ends, at the first possible moment, Paxson has to go. Get the pink slip ready. Keep security on-call to escort him from the building and assist in his inevitable walk of shame. And, for god's sake, start changing the locks and security codes at the United Center.
Simply put, Paxson crossed a line there's no returning from. At a minimum, front office suits should set an example in the workplace, especially when they make six-to-seven figures and do a very average job.
Instead of modelling professionalism for the players and co-workers, Paxson engaged in boorish behaviour. Now he looks like a hypocrite. After all, didn't Paxson lead the charge to suspend Noah when he copped attitude as a rookie? Wasn't Tyrus Thomas traded to the Charlotte Bobcats, in part, because he refused to listen to Del Negro and the coaches?
Forget that Paxson overpaid Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng. Forget that Paxson drafted and then traded star LaMarcus Aldridge for Thomas. Forget Paxson's fugasi firing of Del Negro last December. And forget the Bulls' mediocre record.
None of that matters. Not one bit. This is all about Paxson holding himself to the same standard as everybody else, a standard he set.
Bottom line: Paxson lacks the credibility to do or keep his job. And the Bulls must fire him to keep what little credibility they still have.
Should Chicago fire Paxson? Let us know in the comment box below. Photo courtesy of Joel Brigham.

First off, the awesome stuff Jaclyn said.
I love that Jaclyn brought attention to the fact that Title IX can be utilized to ensure not only equal athletic opportunities for women in educational settings, but to prohibit sex discrimination in general. This prohibition against sex discrimination in Title IX "specifically obligates schools to prevent and remedy sexual harassment and assault." Too many young women do not realize the broad protections of Title IX gives them the right to call bullshit (legally and otherwise) when their school does not handle their sexual assault or harassment case appropriately. I also appreciate that Jaclyn, while bringing attention to how awesome Title IX is, acknowledges how hard it can be, emotionally and otherwise, to press charges against your institution for not treating your sexual harassment or assault case appropriately.
Also, Jaclyn brought up a really interesting statistic that I never knew before: Of the more than 400,000 rapes that will likely be committed on a U.S. college campus this year, "more than 90 percent …will be committed by repeat offenders who will rape, on average, six times during their academic careers." As horrible as these numbers are, they are, in a weird way, encouraging. In Jaclyn's words:
That rate of recidivism is actually a golden opportunity, if only schools and courts would take it. It means that all we need to do is get serious about punishing the tiny percentage of men who are committing the vast majority of assaults, and many, many fewer women will have to live through the trauma of sexual violation.
The overall message of Jaclyn's article: that colleges and universities need to stop trying to make themselves look better by underreporting sexual assault crimes on their campus, is also a much-needed message. Jaclyn couples this message with advice to colleges to "eliminate the 'miscommunication' excuse that many rapists use by creating an on-campus standard that requires any party to a sexual interaction to make sure their partner is actively enthusiastic about what's happening -not just not objecting." This was an overarching theme in the book Yes Means Yes that she and Jessica Valenti edited, and it is a point I don't hear made often enough.
Okay- on to me nitpicking.
Throughout her article, Jaclyn refers to rapists as "he" and rape victims as "she." I understand that it is more likely for a woman to be raped than a man and that women are most often raped by men. However, the persistent use of gendered language is why men are even less likely than their female counterparts to report that they have been raped. Also, gendered language further marginalizes those who have been assaulted by a member of the same gender.
Jaclyn says the fact that "Bucknell University is considering abandoning mediation as a way of adjudicating sexual assault cases" is a "small glimmer of hope that change is coming." Obviously, mediation can be a horribly traumatic experience for a survivor to endure and the idea of an institution forcing a survivor to sit in a room with her or his rapist is disgusting. However, the term "'abandoning'" seems to imply that it would not be an option for any survivor, even if she or he requested it. I do not know under what circumstances a survivor would want mediation, but I don't think a school should bar a survivor from using any method she or he thinks she or he needs to help heal. I am doubtful many survivors would choose mediation, but in the event they do they should be able to control how their case is concluded in any way they see fit.
Anyway, all in all, Jaclyn wrote a fantastic article I suggest you all take a look at. If you get a chance to read it, let me know your thoughts in comments.

Artist + Emily McDonaldFollow this artist
Though always artistic and crafty growing up, I didn't start making jewelry until I moved to New Orleans in 2008. After teaching myself basic jewelry construction and beading skills I became fascinated with preserving things in resin and began working with plants, shells, and insect wings. Over time my work evolved into what it is today, leaving nature behind to focus on the preservation and artistic presentation of man-made media, particularly printed paper, which can be as fragile and ephemeral as pressed leaves. While I grew up surrounded by nature in rural Pennsylvania, the subject matter of my current work is more in tune with the urban sphere I inhabit today.UPTOWN

Vermont Driver Slams Into Parked Conversion Van
Thieves Steal Scenic Viewers From Eastern Summit
|An image of the viewers at the Eastern Summit, the empty decking and an image of a similar viewer provided by state police.
FLORIDA, Mass. — State Police are investigating the theft of two scenic viewers that were stolen from the Eastern Summit on Route 2.
Three-Car Accident Closes Mohawk Trail
FLORIDA, Mass. — A three-vehicle accident involving a state police cruiser closed Route 2 for nearly two hours on Thursday morning. No one was seriously injured.
The accident occurred at about 7:18 a.m. on the Mohawk Trail near the Savoy line, according to David Procopio, state police director of media communications, when an eastbound dump truck crossed the center line and hit a westbound 2006 Chevrolet Silverado pickup towing a Bobcat on a trailer.
"A trooper from the Shelburne Falls barracks was behind the trailer with the Bobcat," said Procopio. It was not clear at this time whether the cruiser collided with the trailer or was struck by one of the trucks.
He said the preliminary investigation is pointing to a possible stuck accelerator on the 2014 Ford dump truck; the driver was trying to unstick it when he lost control and veered over the center line.
Procopio said it was not clear at this time whether the cruiser collided with the trailer or one of the trucks.
The trooper was taken to Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield with minor injuries. He is reportedly conscious and alert.
The driver of the dump truck, a 23-year-old man from Turners Falls also incurred minor injuries and was take to the North Adams campus of Berkshire Medical Center. The driver of the pickup, a 40-year-old man from Erving was not injured.
The highway was reopened by 9:30 a.m.
Six Facing Charges For Wind Farm Copper Theft
Driver in Dead Man's Curve Crash Facing Charges
The driver of the tractor-trailer that crashed last week is facing multiple charges.
FLORIDA, Mass. — The driver of a tractor-trailer that flipped over on Dead Man's Curve last Wednesday is facing multiple charges and the loss of his commercial driver's license.
Clement Leslie, 51, of Vineland, N.J., is still at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, where he is expected to undergo another surgery on Thursday.
State Trooper David McKearney of the Cheshire Barracks said Wednesday that he had served Leslie at the hospital with charges of operating to endanger, failure to stay within marked lanes and speeding.
"We believe he was reading a magazine while he was driving," he said. McKearney said Leslie told him that he took the turn too fast.
The accident is still under investigation.
The accident occurred at about 4:40 p.m. on April 11 and closed the state highway between Whitcomb Hill Road and Charlement until 2 the following morning. The load of lime Leslie was hauling was dumped across the steep incline above the Cold River when the truck crashed onto the guardrails. It took more than an hour to extricate Leslie from his crushed cab.
McKearney, who has a background in federal and state trucking regulations, said Leslie was also in violation of the commercial vehicle enforcement section of federal truck laws. Some were mechanical issues with the truck that "were not contributory to the accident," said McKearney.
"The most important violation is the 14-hour rule," he said. Drivers by law are not allowed to drive beyond the 14th-hour of coming on duty, which for Clement was 2:30 p.m. "He should not have been on the road."
Leslie also failed to take a Breathalyzer within eight hours or a drug test within 32 hours of the accident, as required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Leslie was driving for Paladino Farms of Rosenhayn, N.J. McKearney said they would move to immediately suspend his CDL license out of New Jersey.
"We're going to do every thing we can to keep him from driving again," said the trooper.

Bulletin HASKINS & SELLS 51
Book Reviews
Kent, William. Bookkeeping and Cost
Accounting for Factories. (New York.
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 261 p.)
A perusal of the preface of this book
gives one rather a disagreeable reaction.
"The time has arrived," says the author,
"when there is a need for a systematic
treatise on cost accounting which will start
the student at the beginning with the elementary
principles of double entry bookkeeping
and lead him through factory accounting
to cost accounting, giving him not
only the fundamental theory in accordance
with the views of the ablest modern accountants
but also warning him against the
time-worn fallacies of the older school.
Such a treatise the author has undertaken
to prepare." This duty has apparently
made itself felt to the author because "some
accountants * * * are still perpetuating traditional
errors. Some of them are still insisting
that interest on investment forms no
part of factory cost; that business and selling
expenses are part of cost; and that a
profit cannot arise until a thing is sold."
One finds little in the first fourteen chapters
of the book which is not in other books.
The material is presented without regard
for logical order or sequence of thought. It
might almost be said that this much of the
book offers no excuse for its existence.
Chapters X V to X X are welcome additions
to the literature of cost accounting.

More than a billion colds wallop the United States every year, setting off a storm of sneezes, sniffles, aches, and pains. The flu, meanwhile, waylays tens of millions of Americans with fever and fatigue each winter. Although it's nearly impossible to escape exposure, you can take steps to stop those dreaded viruses from knocking you out this season. First, make sure you are doing these three things:
1. Build up your immune defenses with a plant-based diet high in vitamin C (think kiwi, citrus, and broccoli), stay hydrated and drink green or black tea, both shown to aid the immune system.
2. Become slightly germ-obsessed, at least for the winter months. Wash your hands and wipe down kitchen and office surfaces as often as you can.
3. Be sure to get plenty of rest and relaxation; chronic stress and sleep deprivation are both known to wear down your immunity.
Then, when a cold or flu does strike, act fast. No matter what you use as treatment, start taking it right away, as viruses duplicate within the first 48 hours of symptoms. Here, our experts list their choices for the best ways to keep colds and flu at bay. All are available at natural-foods stores; a few you might already have in your kitchen.
Dr. David Rakel, director of the University of Wisconsin integrative medicine program; Dr. Tieraona Low Dog, director of education for the University of Arizona's program in integrative medicine; Steve Gomberg, a Los Angeles-based herbalist, acupuncturist, and nutritionist
1. Echinacea
Antiviral and antibacterial, the traditional Native American remedy contains polysaccharides that can raise levels of infection-fighting white blood cells, among other functions. To reap those benefits, Low Dog recommends getting 3 grams of Echinacea purpurea (a well-studied species) daily when you're sick, reducing the dose as you start to feel better. "The only people who should be careful about dosage are those who have severe allergies to the aster family of plants," she says. "There's clear controversy over echinacea, but I've used it in my practice for 25 years and found it very effective when taken correctly." In fact, a recent meta-analysis in Lancet Infectious Diseases came out in favor of using the herb.
2. Astragalus
A member of the pea family, this root can be stirred into soups to bolster your immune system during cold and flu season. If you feel a cold coming on, Rakel recommends taking 2 to 6 grams of astragalus in capsule form daily. "It seems to work mainly through antiviral properties and appears to have a beneficial influence on T-cell activity, which is one of the important immune modulators," he says. Indeed, a 2006 study from Phytotherapy Research found that astragalus triggered even more activity in one class of T-cells than echinacea when given to a group of 16 healthy adults.
3. Yin Chiao
At the first sign of sickness, practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine often prescribe a formula that contains nine cold- and flu-countering herbs. Yin chiao (also spelled qiao) blends commonplace botanicals like licorice (said to heal sore throats and suppress coughs) and peppermint (known to relieve stuffiness) with lesser-known herbs like schizonepeta and reed rhizome. "It's especially helpful for colds that have sore throat as a predominant symptom, says Gomberg. Try taking 60 drops of the tincture in water every two or three hours for the first two or three days of a cold; for tablets, check the dosage on the box and take frequently.
4. Garlic
A 2001 study discovered that participants who popped a garlic supplement daily from November to February were less likely to get colds than those who took a placebo. But Low Dog suggests going for the fresh herb, both in preventing and banishing colds. "Crushing up a clove, mixing it with olive oil and lemon juice, and putting it on your salad is something easy for people to do every day," she says. When you're sick, Gomberg recommends downing at least three cloves of garlic daily. Besides salad dressing, try mashing up a clove and spreading it on toast; eating a few sprigs of parsley afterward will help stave off garlic breath.
5. Elderberry
So sweet it's sometimes used in jams and lemonades, elderberry is packed with quercetin (an antioxidant with antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties). This native European, Asian, and North American plant may also help activate the immune system, according to a 2001 study from Jerusalem's Hadassah University Hospital. The extract tested is Sambucol, a black elderberry syrup recommended by Low Dog. "It tastes great, and it's easy to get kids to take," she says. "The research suggests that if you take 1 to 2 teaspoons four times daily for three to four days when feeling sick, it can shorten the severity and duration of the flu." Sipping elderberry tea can also soothe flu symptoms, adds Gomberg.
6. Andrographis
Long used in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine, this herb revs up the activity of natural killer cells (the immune system's first line of defense against infection). And when paired with Siberian ginseng (also known as eleuthero), andrographis may attack the flu more effectively than some antiviral drugs. "Andrographis is one of the natural cold and flu remedies with the most promising scientific evidence for its efficacy," says Rakel, who recommends taking 400 mg three times daily as soon as your symptoms appear.
7. Ginger
So far, most ginger research has focused on the herb's ability to tame nausea in pregnant women, post-op patients, and motion-sickness-prone travelers. But the pungent root can also act as an antihistamine and decongestant, two cold-easing effects embraced by Chinese herbalists for millennia. Tossing some fresh, chopped ginger into your stir-fry or soup can lessen cold symptoms, as can making a strong cup of ginger tea. Try the following simple tea recipe from Low Dog: Shave the skin from a piece of fresh ginger, cut off about 2 inches, then slice it up and drop it into 2 cups of water. Simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes (uncovered), pour it into a tea mug, add a tablespoon of honey and juice fresh-squeezed from half a lemon, and drink it down. "Ginger is perfect when you are really congested or you've got the chills," says Low Dog. "The only time I would not use it is when someone's throat is really red and inflamed, such as in the case of strep."
8. Olive Leaf Extract
Heart-healthy olive oil isn't the only gift bestowed by the Mediterranean's most treasured trees. Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, olive leaf extract interacts with the protein in cold and flu virus particles to halt infection, according to a report published in Alternative Medicine Review last March. Although it's available in capsule form, Low Dog likes the versatile, easy-to-use liquid extract. "If you put three to five drops in warm water, it makes a great gargle for sore throat," she notes.
9. Oscillococcinum
As with any type of homeopathic medicine, oscillococcinum aims to restore health by delivering a highly diluted dose of a substance that produces symptoms characteristic of the illness being treated. Here, that substance is extract of muscovy duck heart and liver, identified by homeopaths as reservoirs of the influenza virus. A 1998 study from the British Homeopathic Journal gave either oscillococcinum or a placebo to 372 patients with the flu, finding that the remedy both lessened their symptoms and shortened the duration of sickness. If you're intrigued by the "like cures like" approach to wellness, Gomberg recommends using one or two tubes of oscillococcinum once or twice weekly for the flu, in combination with other immune-enhancing supplements (such as echinacea or elderberry).
10. Medicinal mushrooms
Chinese and Japanese healers have understood the magic of mushrooms for centuries, using shiitake, reishi, maitake, and others to both prevent and treat a variety of ailments. Western researchers have yet to explore medicinal mushrooms' impact on colds or flu, but several studies have shown that certain friendly fungi can stimulate immune function. Medicinal-mushroom blends, available at natural-foods stores, can be taken for illness prevention, says Gomberg; start early in the season for best results, and follow package instructions. And reishi mushrooms may help treat acute cold symptoms, he adds.

The daughter of Cuba President Raul Castro will travel to Philadelphia to accept an award for her gay rights advocacy.
Officials at the Equality Forum say Mariela Castro will attend the group's annual conference on gay rights this weekend. The organization's executive director, Malcolm Lazin, said Tuesday that the U.S. State Department reversed its initial decision denying permission for Castro's visit.
Mariela Castro is the niece of retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro. She is the director of Cuba's National Center for Sex Education and the country's most prominent gay rights activist.
She was allowed to attend an academic conference in San Francisco last year. Cuban-American lawmakers blasted the decision, calling Castro a shill for her family's Communist regime.
The State Department does not comment on visa records, which are confidential.

Cory Monteith's Mom Opens Up About Son's Death [VIDEO]by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
One year after Cory Monteith passed away on July 13, 2013, the late actor's mother, Ann McGregor, spoke with 'Good Morning America,' giving a heartbreaking interview about dealing with her son's death.
"The last few days, I'm beginning to accept it. The loss is horrendous," McGregor told 'GMA.' "Until three days ago I couldn't look at a picture of Cory. So there's been progress."
The 'Glee' star was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room last July as a result of a drug overdose from a mixture of heroin and alcohol. He was 31 at the time.
McGregor says that Monteith started suffering from drug problems as early as the age of 15 and believes that her separation with her husband, Joe Monteith, might have been the trigger. "I think that was the turning point. He had a lot of emotional things he was trying to figure out — lot of it was he really wanted a relationship with his father. I think when a child gets invalidated they keep reaching even harder. They want to find out why."
But she doesn't place blame on anyone, including Hollywood, on Monteith's choices which led to his untimely death. "I don't think blame is a good thing to do; that was his choice."
She also revealed that she still keeps in touch with Monteith's former girlfriend and 'Glee' co-star, Lea Michele.
"She texts me and e-mails me," McGregor revealed. "She's hurting too. You see the sadness. I know her pain."
On Sunday, the first year anniversary of Monteith's death, his fellow 'Glee' co-stars shared thoughts and remembrances on Twitter, including Michele herself, who tweeted a sentimental picture.

Master List of 135i/128i FAQ's - Updates ongoing!
Hey guys/gals, I'm going to try to condense an FAQ list into one post for ease in reading. Alphabetical by subject seemed like a good way to start it off.
I'm certain I've missed many of the subjects that come up frequently so I welcome all suggestions for additions to the list. If you have anything that you think needs to be added, PM me and I'll add it to the list.
My hope is that this list can grow into a very useful resource for all of our members here.
Center Caps, which Tire Rack wheels will accept the BMW center caps?
Sport Edition A7
Sport Edition F10
Breyton GTS-R
Elbrus I02
Elbrus I04
Elbrus I05
Elbrus I06
OE wheels, I want to know about the sizes, offsets, pictures, model numbers etc... on the 128i or 135i
OE wheels, what do they weigh? 24.2lbs front, 26.2lbs rear.
OE wheels, do regular tires work on them, or just run flat tires?
Non-runflat tires work fine on the OE wheels. There is no issue with this.
OE wheels, what are the biggest tires that will fit them?
225/40/18 is the widest size that will correctly fit the front 7.5"wheels and 255/35/18 is the widest correct fitting size for the rear 8.5". The sizes both fit the vehicle with no rubbing.
235/40/18 and 265/35/18 are sizes that will fit the vehicle but they will require a minimum of an 8" wheel in the front and a 9" wheel in the rear.
TPMS, is there a way to disable it?
TPMS, what will happen if I don't use TPMS sensors in new wheels and tires?
You will have a light permanently displayed on the instrument cluster telling you the receiver is not getting a pressure reading from the tires.
TPMS, does every car have the sensors and valves installed in the tire/wheel?
No, US models have direct sensors but cars made for sale in various other countries have indirect, ABS mounted, TPM systems (no sensors in the wheels.)
TPMS, do new sensors have to be initialized by the dealer?
No, you can reset the TPMS by yourself on the 1 series. Instructions are in the owners manual.
TPMS, is there a way around it?
TPMS, what do the sensors and valves look like?
TPMS, where can I get the sensors and what do they cost.
You can buy them from BMW or Tire Rack. The Tire Rack cost is $41 for the sensors and $8 for the valves. You do not have to buy wheels and tires to buy the sensors.
TPMS, if use non run-flat tires, what can I use in a pinch if I get a flat?
The Continental Comfort Kit is one popular option.

Book Link ListJuly 22, 2005
Got a copy of The Zen of CSS Design? Getting tired of typing in all the links we referenced? Good news — now you don't have to, thanks to the book link list.
Since shortly after 'The Zen of CSS Design' hit the shelves this past February, a common request that keeps coming up is for a list of links to the designs referenced in the book. Well, now it finally exists, but I've gone one better.
Our writing process highlighted the need to pick and choose the topics we covered, leaving some material on the cutting room floor, so to speak. We came across a wealth of information while writing that we had no chance of including, so we did what any other self-respecting web author would do: we hyperlinked. Only, manually. So that left you, the reader, in the awkward position of having to type in these longish URIs to get at the information we wanted to share. Ugh? Ugh.
But we're done with that. I've spent the day compiling a list of all articles and books mentioned within the book, linked them, and annotated with page number of the original reference as well as corresponding descriptive text from the book. Now you have one page to remember, or you can just go to the Zen Garden All Designs page and find a link there from now on.
And while I was at it, I updated those that needed updating. Who knew that Bobby no longer existed? It was rebranded as 'WebXACT', a suite of tools from Watchfire… I must have missed that whenever it happened. And as any of the other links go offline, I'll do my best to find alternates and update the list accordingly.
One problem with the list. In the list of designs for Chapter 3, you have "Jon Hicks by Entomology." Somehow I think you meant "Entomology by Jon Hicks."
Thank you thank you thank you!!! If only I could describe how wonderful this is. I was going to go through the book and do this for my students for the fall (I chose this book as our design text) and you just freed a days worth of my time, and others time I'm sure.
You are wonderful. First the book, now this. Thanks.
And thank YOU, Lisa, for choosing our book as your text. That totally rocks.
Quite the resource. Thanks for putting in the time.
>> Who knew that Bobby no longer
>> existed?
Cynthia did. :)
Why wasn't a cd-rom included … with eg clickable screen shots?
Now I can take out all those Post-its!
The link list is really usefull. I haven't bought your book yet but I will do so in the summer holidays.
Good news for german and german-speaking css freaks, which like the csszengarden and "the book" a lot: Addison-Wesley published the german translation on July, 18th and it's available at Amazon as well as any other bookstore under the isbn 3827322766. The title is: Das Zen des CSS-Designs. Amazon-Link: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3827322766/qid%3D1122234512/028-0066815-6781370
Thanks, Dave! It is indeed a very useful list - at least for me. The only thing I have to do now is to buy the book, too. ;) Thanks!
This book is so awsome it saves me so much time and gives me links to things I never knew about. Very cool thanks for going that extra step too.
The link list is really usefull. I haven't bought your book yet but I will do so in the summer holidays
Wow, that is exactly what I was looking for. Its pretty amazing when you type a search into Google and it actually pulls up exactly what you are looking for. Wonderful.
Plus obviously thank you for compiling that list. I have bookmarked your site and I will be back!

The appointment of an Athletics Integrity Monitor (note the capital letters) is part of the oh-so-serious sanctions the NCAA dropped when it smacked Penn State with its shithammer. This is straight from the statement the NCAA issued today:
Mitchell's five-year appointment begins immediately.
As Athletics Integrity Monitor, Mitchell will evaluate Penn State's compliance with NCAA sanctions and the Athletics Integrity Agreement it will execute with the NCAA and the Big Ten Conference.
He will have broad access to the campus, personnel and records and can make any recommendations he believes are necessary for the university to comply with all of its requirements and enhance adherence to NCAA and Big Ten principles, values, ethics and rules.
In his role as monitor, Mitchell will prepare quarterly progress reports for the NCAA, the Big Ten and Penn State's board of trustees. He will be assisted by his law firm, DLA Piper, and can employ other legal counsel, consultants, investigators, experts and personnel as needed to perform his duties.
Mitchell will be 79 years old later this month, so he's an interesting choice for any gig with a five-year term. In his diplomatic career, he brokered peace in Northern Ireland, prepared an international report on violence in the Middle East, and oversaw the fund for families of the victims of 9/11. Oh, right: MLB also paid him $20 million basically to read Jose Canseco's book to determine something about steroids in baseball. Now Mitchell gets to spend five years making sure some undergraduate doing work-study in the athletic department doesn't put any of the Big Ten's paperwork in the same pile as the NCAA's. On the bright side, this might create a bunch of $15-an-hour job opportunities for Penn State law students four times a year for the next five years. All so NCAA president Mark Emmert can continue to pretend everything everywhere in college athletics is just spilling over with integrity. Because that's what the NCAA does.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerance of Stavudine (d4T) in Combination With Lamivudine (3TC) in HIV-Positive Pregnant Women and Their Infants
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerance of 2 anti-HIV drugs, d4T and 3TC, given in combination to HIV-positive pregnant women and their infants.
Most HIV-positive pregnant women usually take the anti-HIV drug zidovudine (ZDV) to treat HIV and reduce the chances of giving HIV to their babies. It recently has been shown that a combination of drugs may be more effective than ZDV alone. This study tests the effectiveness of combinations of ZDV, d4T, and 3TC.

Nothing says 'corporate' like a Blackberry handset peeping from your pocket. The choice of every businessman and entrepreneur round the globe, the blackberry phones are a perfect pick for those who love turning heads. The blackberry handsets, by teaching the corporate world to work in style, have created quite a niche, rather an ecosphere in world of telecommunication. And it is in the hope of conquering this consumer ecosphere that RIM (Research in motion) has come up with its latest 'tablet', the Blackberry Playbook.
Blackberry Playbook
Blackberry playbook, is operated by the QNX, which is nothing less than the most effective and hardcore operating system that man has ever come up with. QNX has run the jets, and powered the nuclear reactors, and is now here in your playbook, to make sure that you have the experience of a life time operating the tablet. Before we set out 'reviewing' whether this Blackberry is a 'playbook' or a 'play boy' let us get familiar with some of the major features of this handset.

When thinking about how to connect with consumers, insurers — and consultants — often talk about the "channel strategy," but this terminology is indicative of the problem. A "channel" infers a one-way communication from insurer to customer, and today's customers don't think that way. If insurers are serious about getting closer to their customers, they should forego conventional "channel" strategy development and instead focus on quality interactions.
Perhaps the strongest message from our survey of more than 21,000 consumers in 20 countries is that consumers don't want information to be channeled, they want access; they want to interact with their providers. Connecting to the insurer by phone is an interaction point, as are emails to the broker, meetings with the tied agent and even clickthroughs on the website of an aggregator that provides independent insurance comparisons. But how do insurers choose which interaction points to offer their customers? Which ones do consumers actually prefer? To understand this, insurers need to take a different approach to segmenting their customers — one based on psychographics not demographics.
Our consumer research also indicates:
- Customers are becoming harder to satisfy and harder to maintain, and generally, they still don't trust the insurance industry.
- While there is no comparable substitute for insurance itself, consumers can and will switch insurers if their preferred interaction points are not available.
- Despite the commonly held view that the web is all that matters now, consumers often prefer personal interaction. Insurance is still a product that relies on personal trust — people want to buy from people.
Insurance has shifted from a seller's to a buyer's market. And while modern consumers are willing to buy, it is not all about price, as is the pervasive myth. Insurers also have to provide quality service and reach customers with the right interaction mix.

| Conditions:
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments | Other Proposed Natural Treatments | Supplements to Avoid | References
Diarrhea, or loose bowel movements, can occur for many reasons. Food poisoning and infections are the most common causes of acute (short-lived) diarrhea. Chronic diarrhea may be caused by ongoing illnesses of the digestive tract, such as
inflammatory bowel disease
irritable bowel syndrome.
Conventional treatment for diarrhea involves addressing the cause, if possible, and, in some cases, treating symptoms with medications that slow down the action of the digestive tract.
Supplements called probiotics have shown considerable promise for safely preventing or treating various kinds of diarrhea. The following section summarizes much of the evidence regarding this treatment. For more information, see the full
Certain bacteria and fungi play a helpful role in the body. For this reason, they are known collectively as probiotics (literally, "pro life"). Some of the most common include the yeast
Saccharomyces boulardii
and the following bacteria:
The digestive tract is like a rain forest ecosystem, with billions of bacteria and yeasts instead of trees and frogs. Some of these internal inhabitants are more helpful to your body than others. Probiotics not only help digestive tract function, they also reduce the presence of less healthful organisms by competing with them for the limited available space. For this reason, use of probiotics can help prevent infectious diarrhea.
Antibiotics being taken to treat an infection can disturb the balance of the "inner ecosystem" by killing friendly bacteria. When this occurs, harmful bacteria and yeasts can move in and flourish, which can lead to diarrhea. Probiotic therapy may help prevent this problem. Probiotics also appear to be helpful for preventing or treating forms of diarrhea with different causes.
Traveler's Diarrhea
According to some but not all studies, it appears that regular use of various probiotics can help prevent traveler's diarrhea, an illness caused by eating contaminated food, usually in developing countries.2-7,76
For example, one
double-blind, placebo-controlled study
followed 820 people traveling to southern Turkey and found that use of a probiotic called
Lactobacillus GG significantly protected against intestinal infection.53
An even larger double-blind, placebo-controlled study found benefits from using the yeast product
S. boulardii.55
This trial enrolled 3,000 Austrians traveling to a variety of countries. The greatest benefits were seen in travelers who visited North Africa and Turkey. The researchers noted that the benefit depended on consistent use of the product, and that a dosage of 1,000 mg daily was more effective than 250 mg daily.
Substances called prebiotics are thought to enhance the growth of probiotics. On this basis, a prebiotic called
fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) has been suggested for preventing traveler's diarrhea. However, in a 244-participant, double blind study, FOS at a dose of 10 g daily offered only minimal benefits.67
Infectious Diarrhea
Children frequently develop diarrhea caused by infectious viruses. Probiotics may help prevent or treat this condition and may also be useful for viral diarrhea in adults.
A 2001 review found 13 double-blind, placebo-controlled trials on the use of probiotics for acute infectious diarrhea in infants and children. Ten of these trials involved treatment, and three involved prevention.28 Benefits have been seen in subsequent studies as well, including one that included almost 1,000 infants.60
Overall, the evidence strongly suggests that use of probiotics can significantly reduce the severity and duration of diarrhea and perhaps help prevent it.
Another, more recent review of 63 trials involving over 8,000 people (mainly infants and children) found that probiotics reduced how long the episode of diarrhea lasted.90
The authors concluded, however, that more research needs to be done to determine which probiotics work best for infectious diarrhea.
In a subsequent smaller review focusing on persistent diarrhea (lasting for 2 weeks or longer), researchers concluded that probiotics are capable of reducing both the duration of the diarrhea episode as well as the stool frequency.91
Another study that was part of this same review suggested that probiotics may help to reduce how long a child is hospitalized due to diarrhea.
One double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 269 children (ages 1 month to 3 years) with acute diarrhea found that those treated with
Lactobacillus GG recovered more quickly than those given placebo.8
The best results were seen among children with rotavirus infection. (Rotavirus can cause severe diarrhea in children.) In another double-blind, placebo-controlled study,
Lactobacillus GG helped prevent diarrhea in 204 undernourished children.9
In addition to
Lactobacillus GG, the probiotics
B. bifidum,
S. thermophilus,
L. casei,
L. reuteri,
S. boulardii, and
Escherichia coli
Nissle (a safe strain of
E. coli) have also shown promise for preventing or treating diarrhea in infants and children.28,68-69,83,84,94
L. reuteri reduced the frequency, duration, and relapse rate of acute diarrhea compared to placebo in a randomized trial of 74 children receiving oral rehydration solution for mild to moderate dehydration.97
Prophylactic use of probiotics was found to be effective at preventing
C. difficile
-induced diarrhea in a review of 20 randomized trials with 3,421 patients (including three trials with 605 children) when compared to placebo or no treatment. The most effective probiotics were
S. boulardii
L. acidophilus
combined with
L. casei.96 However, probiotic therapy is probably not helpful for acute, severe, dehydrating diarrhea.10,80
Keep in mind that diarrhea in young children can be serious. If it persists for more than a couple of days or is extremely severe, it would be wise to contact the child's physician.
In addition, a large (211-participant), double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that adults with infectious diarrhea can also benefit from probiotic treatment.1
Antibiotic-related Diarrhea
The results of most (but not all) double-blind and
open trials
suggest that probiotics, especially
S. boulardii
Lactobacillus GG, may help prevent or treat antibiotic-related diarrhea (including the most severe form,
Clostridium difficle diarrhea).11-19,61,62,70,75, 77,79,84,88-89,92
One study found
Lactobacillus rhamnosus effective in children,81
and another study found that
L. casei was effective in hospitalized patients. A review of 16 randomized trials also found evidence that probiotics may prevent antibiotic-related diarrhea.93
This review included many different strains of probiotics (eg,
Bifidobacterium), which were used alone or in combination. Bacteria that appeared to lack evidence of benefit included
Lactobacillus rhamnosus,
Lactobacillus sporogenes,
Bifidobacterium lactis, and
Streptococcus thermophilus. Like the earlier review, the pooled results of 34 randomized trials also found evidence to support the use of probiotics for the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in both children and adults. Like the earlier review, the pooled results of 34 randomized trials also found evidence to support the use of probiotics for the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in both children and adults.95
In contrast, prophylactic use of
Lactobacillus acidophilus
LA-5 plus
BB-12 (in combination with antibiotic treatment) was not associated with reduced incidence of diarrhea when compared to placebo. However, the probiotics were associated with reduced duration of diarrhea.
It is sometimes said that it is useless to begin probiotic treatment until after the antibiotics are finished. However, evidence appears to indicate that it is better to begin treatment with probiotics along with the initial use of antibiotics, then continue probiotic treatment for a week or two afterwards.
Note: Diarrhea that occurs in the context of antibiotics may be dangerous. Be sure to talk to your doctor.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Crohn's disease
ulcerative colitis
fall into the family of conditions known as inflammatory bowel disease. Chronic diarrhea is a common feature of these conditions.
A double-blind trial of 116 people with ulcerative colitis compared a special probiotic treatment using
E. coli to a relatively low dose of the standard drug mesalazine.26 The results suggest that this probiotic treatment might be as effective as low-dose mesalazine for controlling symptoms and maintaining remission. Evidence of benefit was seen in other trials as well.27
Another study found
S. boulardii helpful for treating diarrhea resulting from Crohn's disease.24 However, two studies failed to find benefit with Lactobacillus probiotics.71-72
Other Forms of Diarrhea
Preliminary evidence suggests that probiotics may be helpful for reducing diarrhea and other gastrointestinal side effects caused by cancer treatment (radiation or chemotherapy).20,21
One study found that
S. boulardii can increase the effectiveness of standard treatment for amoebic infections.63
Small, double-blind studies suggest
S. boulardii
might be helpful for treating chronic diarrhea in people with
HIV and hospitalized patients who are being tube-fed.22,23
Premature infants weighing less than 2,500 grams (5.5 pounds) are at risk for a life-threatening intestinal condition called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). In a study that pooled the results of 9 randomized, placebo-controlled trials involving 1,425 infants, probiotic supplementation significantly reduced the occurrence of NEC and death associated with it.82 A subsequent study found similar benefits in very low birth weight infants weighing less than 1,500 grams (3.3 pounds).87
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (Spastic Colon)
People suffering from
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) experience crampy digestive pain, alternating diarrhea and constipation, and other symptoms. In some people, diarrhea predominates. Although the cause of IBS is not known, one possibility is a disturbance in healthy intestinal bacteria. Based on this theory, probiotics have been tried as a treatment for IBS with diarrhea, but the results have been inconsistent.25
One study tested the potential effectiveness of a
Traditional Chinese Herbal remedy for diarrhea-predominant IBS, but failed to find benefit.73
A large (255-participant), double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that use of a product containing apple pectin combined with
chamomile significantly improved symptoms of acute diarrhea in children aged 6 months to six years.74
A small double-blind study found that an extract of
tormentil root
Potentilla tormentilla) reduced the severity and duration of rotavirus infection in children.64 Another study of the same herb found that it was approximately equally effective as the drug loperamide for the treatment of nonspecific diarrhea in adults.65
The herbal extract was particularly effective for reducing symptoms of abdominal cramping.
A preliminary, double-blind study found that an extract of the Amazonian herb
sangre de drago
might be helpful for diarrhea associated with
HIV infection.46
The supplement
medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) has also shown promise for this purpose.47
Wheat germ might enhance the effects of standard treatments for giardiasis.48
A double-blind clinical trial of 41 infants with diarrhea found that
carob powder (at a dose of 1 g/kg daily) significantly speeded resolution of diarrhea as compared to placebo.44
The herb
Eleutherococcus might be useful in the treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.49 Brewer's yeast, a bitter-tasting product recovered from the beer-making process, might be helpful as well.50,51
The herb
contains berberine, a substance with antimicrobial properties. One study suggests that berberine can help in diarrhea caused by
E. coli bacteria.52
However, it is not clear that goldenseal itself would have the same effect. The herbs
Oregon grape
also contain berberine.
Allergy to milk and other foods may trigger diarrhea.53
Milk can also cause diarrhea in a completely different way—through
lactose intolerance. This condition is the inability to digest milk sugar, and it occurs in many adults. Use of the enzyme lactase should help.53
Weak (and in some cases inconsistent) evidence partially supports the use of the following as treatments for various forms of diarrhea:
colostrum,29-40 a special extract of egg yolk,78 fiber,45 folate,41,42 and green banana.43 Zinc has been shown to be beneficial for acute diarrhea in children, the most convincing evidence coming from studies done in developing countries. This suggests that zinc is most useful for this condition in the presence of a nutritional deficiency.85,86
Other herbs that are suggested for diarrhea but have no meaningful supporting evidence include agrimony,
bilberry, blackberry leaf,
oak bark,
red raspberry,
slippery elm, and witch hazel. The supplement
has been advocated for chronic diarrhea, but again there is no meaningful supporting evidence.
Wood creosote is the principal ingredient in Seirogan. Seirogan is a widely used traditional herbal treatment for diarrhea. It has undergone a certain amount of safety testing and appears to be relatively safe, at least for short-term use. Efficacy, however, is unclear.66
Acupuncture has been studied for its beneficial effects on diarrhea, but to date there is no compelling evidence for its effectiveness.55-59
