|this cartoon was posted on the Hawaii History Chat Group
on Facebook by Arnold Hokulani Kinau,
from The World newspaper, New York, 14 December 1893
In researching this political cartoon, I learned about the newspaper that printed it in 1893. The World was published by Joseph Pulitzer in New York City between 1860 and 1931. It is interesting to read the history of the newspaper, since its publisher was so famous. The World was most infamous for its "yellow journalism" and muckraking stories. In one scandal in 1864 it forged papers from Abraham Lincoln, causing The World to be shut down for three days. It seems fitting that such a scandal sheet would publish such an offensive political cartoon.
However, even though it pioneered "yellow journalism", The World was well known for other reasons, often to its credit. Nellie Bly, not only one of the first woman reporters, started some of the first investigative journalism. The World pioneered four color printing. It also published the first newspaper crossword puzzles in 1913. Best of all, it ran a series of articles blasting the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s. Their articles at this time period often supported the underdog in the story, and were pro-immigration.
Joseph Pulitzer went on to become the founding benefactor of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism in New York City. As an immigrant from Hungary, he went on to become a member of the House of Representatives (1885 -1886) and died a millionaire. The Pulitzer Prize was established posthumously after his death in 1911. It is interesting to note that Pulitzer's lasting legacies don't reflect his personal record in publishing.
|Joseph Pulitzer (1847 - 1911)
Yellow Journalism was well known for its scandalous headlines and sensational news stories with little or no research. Today's scandal sheets or tabloid newspapers sold in full color by the grocery store checkout are the legacy of these newspapers. Political cartoons and newspapers from the past are useful for genealogical research, we can often gain a glimpse of life in the past that is not found in the usual genealogical sources. Definitely not politically correct by today's standards, this is the kind of journalism that was common in its own time. From this we can start to see why our ancestors often held opinions we now consider incorrect, or why they voted, wrote or acted in ways that now puzzle us. We can read these examples of journalism from the past, but I still cannot believe how people fell for believing this stuff! We haven't come very far, have we?

The 3rd string quarterback of a mediocre NFL team is in the news, literally every day. Multiple times per day.
Why is there so much press surrounding Tim Tebow?
Just this week, we learned he broke up with his girlfriend, that he's disappointed about being passed over for the starting gig the last week of the season, that he could have run the wildcat if asked, that he may be heading to Jacksonville, that some ESPN analyst thinks he's a fraud, that the Jets should just cut him now, and that he would have done whatever his coach asked him. Of the 50-someodd articles in my RSS feed just now, there were no less than 10 related to Tebow.
Why?? Why is he constantly in the news? Is it because he plays for the Jets? I didn't realize the Jets were such a newsworthy football team. Is it because he's in New York and there's just more sports media per square foot there than elsewhere? Possibly. Is it because the closest city to ESPN headquarters in New York and ESPN employs far too many columnists and analysts? Possibly. Is it because Tebow is a former Heisman trophy winner? Doubtful; there's been numerous Heisman winners who were awful in the pros. Is it because he's amazingly talented and people really thought he'd be the savior of the NFL? I doubt it; every analysis piece I read seems to come with stated opinions of just how mediocre a player he is.
Can it stop? I'm really, really tired of hearing about him. Most ardent football fans couldn't name the backups of most NFL teams outside their own rooting interests; why does sports nation need to know the every move of Tim Tebow??

Black Crochet Ball | 1 3/8 Inch (35mm) | Magnetic
Rings-N-Things Adjustable Magnetic Ball
Our Magnetic Balls are the best in the world!
They're ADJUSTABLE!
We make a wide variety of chopped cups, with varying strength and polarity. It was absolutely essential to us that our balls be versatile enough to work in any of our cups, so many years ago we created the "Adjustable Chopped Ball". Following our easy instructions, you can tweak the position of the gimmick in the ball so you can fine tune your ball to just the right strength - a strength that YOU prefer for your particular cup.
Our 1 3/8 inch (35mm) size balls are very large balls for use with our full size chop cups. If you have ever seen Don Alan do his Chop Cup routine, you know he used a very large ball. Now you too can use this large 1 3/8 inch diameter ball for your routine. It provides maximum visual impact and is adjustable so the gaff will work the way YOU like it every time, even with a hardwood core.
The wooden core is 1 1/4 inch, the jacket adds an additional 1/8 inch.
Each of our Crochet Balls is expertly crocheted by hand with the highest quality cotton/polyester thread over a painted hardwood core ball. Our hand-crocheted balls are preferred by most cups and balls performers for several reasons:
- The crocheted jacket mutes the sound of a ball secretly added to a cup
- The hardwood core provides a solid inner ball that makes handling easier
- Because our balls are crocheted by hand, the crocheted jacket is tight around the ball and not loose like balls produced by machines.
- Under normal use and following our maintenance guidelines below, crocheted jacket balls will last for years
- The ranges of colors we produce provide a rainbow of color choices so you can select colors that contrast with your working surface, the cups and your wardrobe or costume.
Remember to select a ball color that will really show up against your working surface. It would not make much sense to use a dark ball on a black mat, or to use a white ball if you wear a white costume. The spectator must always be able to SEE the balls even when held in your hand in front of your body, or when they are simply resting on your working surface. Brighter colors will be more visible (and will make the balls look larger) from a greater distance.
Rings-N-Things balls last for years. Recently we had the pleasure to handle a Rings-N-Things balls that was over 20 years old. It had been used in bars, restaurants and many, many shows. The ball had been on barroom floors, under tables, under coolers - and really used. It still looked new. The thread was tight and the ball was rock solid.
The hardwood core makes a difference in longevity. It's wood. It's natural. It lasts a very, very long time. A hardwood core allows the balls to be machine laundered safely. The hardwood core will not absorb water and detergents are no hazard to the surface of the wood.
There is a difference between "knit" balls and our "crochet" balls. A knit ball is constructed from a section of yarn that has been knitted (usually machine knitted) and then retro-fitted to the ball. This results in a bulkier, loose fitting jacket over the core. A crocheted ball is constructed with the thread actually hand-crocheted around the ball. This results in a tighter, custom fit jacket over the core. The hand-crocheted jacket results in a superior ball.
Made in USA
Our Crochet Balls can be safely laundered in cold water (to preserve color) and detergent. It is highly recommended that the balls be placed in a lingerie bag or some other mesh bag that would be used for delicate fabrics. This ensures that the balls will not get trapped in recesses in the washer or get lost in the washer. Simply put the balls in a mesh bag and throw them in with other cold water laundry to keep them clean and fresh. Air-dry the balls. It is not recommended that the balls be placed in a dryer.

SUNY Canton Adds Golden Key Honour Society for Bachelor's Students
Top students in SUNY Canton's bachelor's degree programs will now be recognized as members of the Golden Key International Honour Society.
The top 15 percent of third and fourth-year students in each of the College's bachelor's degree programs have been invited to participate in the College's inaugural induction ceremony at 5 p.m., April 5th in the Richard W. Miller Campus Center's Kingston Theater.
"Our four-year student population is swelling," said SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy. "With the increase of students came the need for an honor society to recognize their dedication and commitment to education. We found the Golden Key Honour Society fit our needs and will enable us to grow and foster a continuing commitment to exemplary academics."
The Golden Key International Honour Society offers its members over $600,000 annually through scholarship and award programs. The society also promotes College and community service opportunities to help students grow personally and gain leadership experience.
"When we began the transition to a four-year College nearly a decade ago we began seeing more students who wanted to participate in scholarly societies," said Janice C Robinson, an Associate Professor of accounting and business and the primary faculty advisor for the local chapter of the society. "The Golden Key Honour Society places a great emphasis on leadership, mirroring SUNY Canton's own educational values and ideals."
She said she hoped many students who have earned acceptance into the College's two-year honor society would join the College's Golden Key chapter as they continue their education in four-year programs.
Golden Key International Honour Society was founded in 1977. There are approximately 375 chapters worldwide. In New York, there are Golden Key Chapters at Cornell University, Rochester Institute of Technology, the University at Buffalo, United States Military Academy at West Point, Columbia University, among many other State University of New York and private colleges.
The College also has local chapters of: Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society for two year students; Chi Alpha Epsilon National Honor Society for students in academic development programs; Alpha Phi Sigma National Honor Society for criminal justice and criminal investigation students; Sigma Beta Delta National Honor Society for business, management and administration professionals; and Tau Alpha Pi National Honor Society for students in engineering technologies.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

Former drug detective accused of embezzlement
Former Jefferson Co. Sheriff's Department sergeant charged with theft, misconduct
MADISON, Wis. — Prosecutors have accused a former Jefferson County drug detective with stealing thousands of dollars by filing fraudulent expense reports.
Timothy Madson faces one count of theft and one count of misconduct in office.
According to the state Justice Department, Madson supervised the Jefferson County Drug Task Force from 2003 until late 2011. According to a criminal complaint, he claimed more than $10,000 in questionable expenses from a fund set up to cover controlled drug buys and other incidental task force expenses.
Other members of the task force said Madson didn't do any work that would have required reimbursement because he was the supervisor, according to the DOJ.
Madson's attorney, Michael Witt, didn't immediately return a telephone message early Thursday evening.
Madson's initial appearance has been scheduled for Jan. 7 in Jefferson County Circuit Court.
Madson was in charge of disbursing funds from the task force accounts to the investigators and also was responsible for approving expense claims, and therefore was in a position to fraudulently claim expenses himself and receive those funds in excess of his lawful authority, according to the Wisconsin Department of Justice said.
Sheriff Paul Milbrath issued a statement saying he has evaluated procedural measures to ensure better accountability and documentation of drug task force funds in the future.
The theft count is a class G felony, punishable by a fine of not more than $25,000 or imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both. The misconduct in public office charge is a Class I felony, punishable by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than three years and six months, or both.

What's in a monument? - The importance of context
Simon Haw
Mr. Retired History subject advisor. KwaZulu Natal. firstname.lastname@example.com
One of the heritage assessment standards in Grade 11 calls for learners to be able to analyse public representations such as monuments and museums. In this paper I analyse the way in which the Natal Volunteers' Monument commemorating Natal colonists who died fighting in the South African War (1899 - 1902) presents in a very concrete form a particular interpretation of the war and of those who died fighting in it on the side of Great Britain. It is a striking example of the way in which monuments and museums are not neutral and require a critical approach on the part of not only learners but also the general public.
To provide a context for the Natal Volunteers' monument I should mention that this is just one of a number of colonial monuments and statues which grace the centre of Pietermaritzburg, the capital city of KwaZulu-Natal and until 1910 the capital of the Colony of Natal. These monuments include the statues of Queen Victoria and Sir Theophilus Shepstone and war memorials to those colonials who died in the Langalibalele Rebellion of 1873 and the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879.
I posit that most monuments and statues tend to blend into the background and are seldom even noticed much less interrogated by the citizenry busily going about their daily rounds. I suggest that some of the questions one could ask of a monument are:
What is it commemorating?
Whose perspective is being put across?
How is this being done?
What does it show us about society at the time?
- Elites - Who was in charge? Who had the power?
- Weltanshauung - What does the monument show us about such things as the values and attitudes of the people - more especially the establishment - at the time the monument was being planned/unveiled? This would extend to the symbolism used in the monument, which would tend to show the beliefs and cultural symbols of the people at the time.
Researching the Monument
In order to research the monument, I first read up on it in a useful little book entitled Historic Pietermaritzburg by Steve Camp, published by Shuter and Shooter in 2001. This gave the date of the unveiling as February 1907. Using this as a reference point, I next consulted the relevant issues of both The Natal Witness and The Times of Natal. These old newspaper proved extremely useful in that they contained not only a full account of who was responsible for the design and execution of the monument, including the sculptor, but explained the symbolism of the various panels on the monument. Further, they gave a detailed account of the unveiling ceremony, including the full text of the speech of the Natal governor Sir Henry McCallum.
Analysis of the monument
I will now turn to a more detailed analysis of the Natal Volunteer's monument. The monument stands in a walled garden opposite the Pietermaritzburg City Hall. Image 1 (on page 3), gives an idea of the overall appearance of the monument.
The monument is fairly conventional in its form. For our purposes, the four bronze panels decorating the faces of the monument and to a lesser extent the figure on the top are the most important elements. The sculptor was George Wade, a London sculptor who was a protégé of Sir Joseph Boehm, the sculptor whose statue of Queen Victoria provided the model for the Pietermaritzburg statue, which is to be found a few hundred metres from the monument. Wade started life as a barrister and only became a sculptor at the age of 35. Another well-known public work produced by the artist is the statue of the Cameron Highlander in Inverness, Scotland.
It will shortly become clear from my analysis of the panels that Wade operated within the paradigm of high imperialism, which could see no wrong in the mighty British empire and those who served its ends.
The first panel which will be examined in more detail is that facing the City Hall. A close-up of this panel follows:
In this first panel, Britannia (female figure symbolising Great Britain) is seen reading the Boer ultimatum (not present any more). The figure to her left with the imploring look and her hand on Britannia's shoulder is the colony of Natal, begging the great mother to come to her rescue from the Boer "warmongers". The other female figures represent the colonies of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, who rallied to the cause. The black supplicant in the servile crouching position on the left is a telling indication of the racial attitudes prevalent at that time.
It is difficult to imagine a clearer indication of the way a monument can graphically offer a biased interpretation of an event. The monument unambiguously interprets the war as having been caused by the Boers through their ultimatum, thereby absolving the British Imperium of all blame.
The next panel we will look at reinforces the message of Britain's imperial grandeur and her moral stature. It shows St George the patron saint of England slaying the dragon - a clear analogy with Great Britain taking on and defeating the Boer "dragon".
The next panel turns to consider those who had died fighting in the war. The recumbent figure is the dying hero. The female figure represents the watcher. The upper part of the panel shows heavenly figures waiting to welcome the dear departed to his glorious rest. The image ties in well with the whole narrative of worthy sacrifice, which was dealt such a profound blow during the senseless carnage of the First World War. It echoes in sculpture the well-known phrase "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" (It is sweet and fitting to die for the fatherland).
The next and final of the four panels shows the blind figure of justice holding aloft the scales (missing at this stage) and with her sword at hand. The figure to the left and slightly behind justice is Mercy. Mercy is balancing the scales with her left hand and guiding the sword of justice back into its sheath with her right.
Finally the figure on the top of the monument shows the angel of peace sheathing her sword.
The narrative of the monument therefore is that the Boers caused the South African War by sending the ultimatum and invading British territory and that Britain and its supporters hold the moral high ground. Anyone who has studied the war would recognise the point of view being presented here as at best highly simplistic and at worst as a flagrant disregard for the truth, but he or she needs to remember that our present perspective is informed by over one hundred years of hindsight.
The paradox of the unveiling
The extreme irony of this monument was that the ultra-partisan, jingoistic interpretation of events inherent in the imagery of the monument had already become something of an embarrassment by the time the monument was unveiled in 1907. By that time, the new British government which had been ushered in by a landslide victory in 1906 was headed by Sir Arthur Campbell-Bannerman, the leader of the Liberal Party who had described the tactics used by the British during the guerrilla phase as "methods of barbarism". Perhaps more importantly various domestic pressures, including an expensive and unnecessary war against poll tax rebels (the Bambatha Uprising of 1906) ( For an accessible account of the rebellion readers should refer to Remembering the rebellion: the Zulu uprising of 1906 by Jeff Guy, published by University of KwaZulu-Natal Press 2006) had inclined a large constituency from both sides of the conflict towards a union between the two defeated republics and the two crown colonies, which three years later was to find fruition in the Union of South Africa.
As a result the governor of Natal, Sir Henry McCallum, in delivering his speech at the unveiling of the monument on Saturday February 16, 1907 spends the first part praising those who have died for their sacrifice in a noble war and the second part trying to reinterpret the monument in a way which will make it a symbol of unity rather than division between the two white races - a very difficult thing to do with this particular monument and one at which he does not really succeed.
It is important for teachers to make learners aware of the way in which monuments reflect a version of the past, current among the power elites at the time the monument was erected.
It always surprised me that the monument to those who died at the Battle of Ulundi in 1879, contains a plaque to the brave warriors who died defending the old order. It certainly seems to show a generosity of spirit which is not apparent in the interpretation presented by the monument we have just examined. However, I discovered later that the monument, a domed mausoleum, was constructed long after the war had been fought.

Could Rodney's Arrow Pierce the All Star Game Sky?
I think it is kind of apropos that Tampa Bay Rays President Emeritus of the Rays Archery Club (RAC) Bullseye buster Fernando Rodney can possibly get his moment in the moonlight this Tuesday night and get a gladiator's chance to make a difference in the 2012 All Star Game in Kansas City, Missouri.
Who knows, with any luck and the right stars aligning for both Rodney and fellow hurler David Price, the Rays duo might have the chance to possibly throw the first and last pitches of that celebrated game. The announced starters for the game will probably not be revealed until later this weekend, but you got to think AL Manager Ron Washington might be leaning a tad towards a southpaw starting it all off.
Even sweeter for Rodney is that pure fact he got the nod for his first All Star chance via the American League player's ballots, so we know his AL peers not only applaud his 2012 accomplishments, they are hoping some of that bowmen's magic hones in on the strike zone with Rodney possibly having a stellar late inning chance to bring an All Star victory and World Series Home advantage to the American League.
How amazing is it that for the 3rd consecutive season the Rays will send at least 2 hurlers to the All Star game. 2012 also marks only the second time a Rays starter and reliever have both made the same All Star team. The first time a Rays starter and closer donned All Star garb was back in 2010 during Price's first All Star gig when he was joined by Rays closer Rafael Soriano. In all, the Rays have now sent 5 different relief pitchers to the All Star game, but Rodney might have a chance to finally have a Rays reliever be the last man standing on the hill. Sure Scott Kazmir made a relief All Star appearance, but it was out of necessity not an ordained relief effort.
How great a comeback or revitalization story will it make for the networks covering this global event that baseball gurus and pseudo-GM's around the MLB basically all threw clumps of dirt on Rodney's chance this season after an abysmal 2011 season in Halo-land where he posted a 3-5 record with a 4.50 ERA and just a handful (3) of saves. More than a few MLB scouts possibly thought the Rays needed an intervention taking on a guy like Rodney who only threw 32 inconsistent innings in 2011, and chalked up only 26 strikeouts. You have to honestly have to hold up a votive candle to the Rays front office again going to the dark passages, taking a chance on an aging veteran who responded by posting some Lazarus type number, showing not only resurrection of their careers, but high points in the process.
The Rays could have bypassed Rodney based solely on his inflated ERA, but the Rays saw something within him, a fire that still churned and burned and let Rodney loose to again dominate and dictate the game ending. Rodney only responded by posting 24 saves, and has a chance to eclipse the Rays pre-All Star saves record if he can get two chances in these last 4 pre-All Star break games against the Indians. Want to see how much Rodney has personally turned his game around in 2012? In 2011, Rodney entered 39 game total for the season. Going into the Thursday night contest in Cleveland, Rodney has already taken/finished 35 games for the Rays while keeping a sub 1.0 ERA ( 0.96 ERA).
Going into this point in the MLB season, only 6 other pitchers in MLB history have boasted or matched Rodney's 2012 totals. Rodney might have to extend invitations to fellow and past relievers JJ Putz (Seattle, 2007), Jonathan Papelbon (Boston,2006), Mariano Rivera (N Y Yankees, 2004), Dan Kolb (Milwaukee, 2004), John Smoltz (Atlanta, 2003), Rob Nen (San Francisco, 1998) and Dennis Eckersley (Oakland 1980). Impressive bunch to be associated with, wonder if Rodney will pass along free memberships into the Rays Archery Club for each of them.
To further put the remarkable change of Rodney into more prospective, he has a chance to be the 8th pitcher in 8 seasons to lead the Rays in saves. Among the other Rays closers' who have led the team in saves prior to Rodney, the list features 2 former All Stars, Soriano and Danys Baez who represented the Rays in the 2005 All Star game in Detroit. Rodney will also be the oldest first time Rays All Star at 35 years young.
Rodney has done the almost impossible by taking his career 4.9 BB/9 IP and 1.69 SO/BB ratio and turning it on its head by posting a 1.19 BB/9 IP rate and 7.6 SO/BB ration this year. Even when opposing hitter are ahead of the count against Rodney, they are hitting only .111 against him. I want to throw one more remarkable number at you in regards to Rodney. He has only allowed 1 Earned Run at Tropicana Field all season, and has an ungodly 0.40 ERA on his home turf. Even more exciting, Rodney has thrown his change-up 158 times so far with 113 strikes and opponents have swung at it 83 times and missed on 39 (46.9 % swing-and-miss ratio.
If there was ever a Rays reliever who not only could but should get his moment to let his sunburst shine and possibly bring an All Star victory to the American League, it's Rodney.
How exciting will it be not only for the Rays Republic, but for all baseball fans if they can get a chance to see the magic of Rodney as he closes out a win, then ceremonially bring the bow-string back on his celestial bow and send an arrow skyward.
For me it is thrilling to see a rebirth of an MLB veteran like Rodney as he weave his way into the team's fabric, posting stellar numbers that dwarf his prior MLB stats and provide a catalyst moment like his post game long bowing. Hopefully Tuesday night not only will Rodney "Shoot the Moon", he will get the chance of a lifetime in front of millions of new admirers (and future RAC members).

Located near: Places within 1-10 minute walking distance from the Lodge - Where to go Gaya Street Fair This is the main street of Kota Kinabalu. Fully rebuilt in 1950s and 1960s, the shophouses were used in the traditional way, with shops on the ground floor and residential units on the upper floors. Today, Gaya Street has the largest number of legal offices, banks and financial institutions of any street in Sabah. It also has many eateriesopen during the day and night. Every Sunday morning, Gaya Street is closed to traffic for the Gaya Street Fair. For a small fee, traders set up stalls for the morning to sell almost anything - fruits and vegetables, fish, cut flowers & plants,puppies, rabbits, books, clothse, toys, souvenirs & handicrsfts, antiques, home-made local cakes & kuih-muih, food, the famous Tenom coffee and traditional medicine. There are also mobile health clinics offering minor check-ups and even politicians who set up desks to meet their constituents. It's amazing what you may find at the Gaya Street Fair. Sabah Tourism Board Situated at 51 Jalan Gaya, the building was constructed in 1916 to house the Printing Office and later the Treasury, Audit Office, Town Board, the District Office and the Attorney General's Office. It was one of the only three buildings still standing after Allied bombongs at the end of World War II. From the 1950s until September 1986 the Post Office occupied the building. Fully restored, it was gazetted as a heritage building and officially became the Sabah Tourism Building in January 1991 and now serves as a Tourist Information Centre.

You will be amazed on the number of places that you can go and spend your trip in Sabah! Atkinson Clock Tower Building a British colonial empire in a faraway Borneo had its share of sifficulties and challanges. One of these was tropical diseases. The first District Officer of Jesselton, Francis George Atkinson, died of malaria at the young age of 28. His mother, Mary Edith Atkinson of England, built the Atkinson Clock Tower on Bukit Brace (Brace Hill) in 1905, in the memory of her son. While the original merbau wood used to build the Clock Tower has been replaced over the years, the building's overall structurehas been retained. As late as 1956, the lights of the Clock Tower were used as a navigation aid by local ships coming into port. However, the tower can no longer be seen from the sea due to the tall buildings. The Clock Tower was gazetted as a heritage building in 1983. Filipino Market Situated a bit further than the above places, Filipino Market is a huge souvenirs and local handicrafts centre in Kota Kinabalu. It has more than 100 sellers that is placed under one roof. The building is made of wood and situated very near to Kota Kinabalu wet and fish market. The place was well known to the Peninsular Malaysian traveler, which they usually go there to buy souvenirs, especially pearls, baeds and crystals.

Chinese restaurant, Pizza hut , Coffee Bean What To Do Kinabalu Park If you are in a group, charter a van will be easier for you to go back to KK. The journey is around 3 hours, so to be comfortable, dont over-packed. For a van with 5-6 people, it charges rm28 per person; for more than 8 people, it charges rm20 per person. However, if you are alone, dont worry, there ia other alternative for you. Wait for a van to Ranau in Poring Hotspring. It cost you rm5 per person. There is no specific time that the van will depart until there are enough customer in the van. After reaching Ranau, at Ranau bus terminal( or rather van terminal), take the van to KK. The journey costs you rm10. There are van every 1/2 hour from Ranau to KK. The van will stop you at KK long distance bus terminal. Manukan Island Pulau Manukan is one of the 5 islands in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park which is 25 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu by speedboat. A conservation fee of RM 3 per pax will be charged upon arrival. The island has very clear waters and good venue for snorkelling, kayaking and swimming. The beach is somewhat rocky (laden with corals remnants), so beach barefoot jogging is an absolutely a no no. Snorkles and masks can be rented at a small fee from a sundry shop. There are some chalets if you want to spend more time in this beautiful island. I personally love the 1.5 km 'jogging trail'. The trail passes along cool lowland forest. Many species of birds can insect can be seen along the trail. Donggongon Town Most people will take a tour package or charter a taxi there. If you insist to do it yourself, here is the way. 1. Go to the long distance bus terminal at Jalan Padang. Pass the terminal and there is a local bus station. Take bus number 13 with sign 'Penampang'. The bus takes less than 1/2 hours and costs rm1. 2. The bus to Penampang will drop you at 'Donggongon'. Where there is a big tamu (market) and you can shop shop there. 3. From Donggongon, take a mini bus to Monsopiad Cultural Village. The mini bus terminal is just opposite the library. Ask some one for direction to the library. The minibus in sabah is actually a 'van'. The van from the terminal to Monsopiad takes less than 1/2 hours and cost rm0.7 The return trip is the same. If you want to save all the trouble, you can also take the mini bus from Monsopiad for rm 15 for direct transfer to KK. Tanjung Aru Beach Tanjung Aru Beach is one of the popular hangouts for KK people. Traditionally, they used to come here for food (of course) such as: satay, coconut drink, beer, tidbits etc. but it has now become a bigger area for family gatherings; more facilities added and also eating places. Theres a seafood restaurant, cafs, a fastfood eatery, and a food court. There are also souvenir stalls, a reflexology centre, and a tattoo parlour! The beach itself isnt that clean. Sadly its not really being taken care of. The KK City Hall do try their best at maintaining the beauty and cleanliness of this beach but unfortunately there are, still, irresponsible people that litter. There is a signboard at the beach that says RM 500 fine for littering if Im not mistaken but it is pretty much just a signboard. No enforcement going on. Tho locals as well as tourists still come here for the cool breeze and the beautiful sunset. It is not a suitable beach to do your sunbathing, you can do that at our nearby islands. At night, there are singing and dancing performances held here. For more pics of Tg Aru beach, check out my travelogue. Shopping at Wisma Merdeka Wisma Merdeka is another department stalls which sell clothes, shoes and stuffs. The reason we get familiar to it is because of the money changer service inside. Other than it, nothing special about wisma merdeka. It is another outdated complex with little crowd. KK Plaza Shopping Complex KK Plaza is located near the sinsuran complex. If you have not brought enough warm clothes for your Mt. Kinabalu trip, you can do your last minute shopping here. Some of the shops in KK Plaza sell real cheap warm clothes.. looks like rejected items but still you can get your size. For rm20 or less you can get a sweater here. Fix price and pay in RM. Centre Point Shopping Complex Centre Point is considered a bigger shopping malls with department stalls inside. Similar to other shopping mall in other parts of Malaysia, you can find apparel, shoes, daily used items, etc here. There is also a cinema in Centre point where you can catch a movie if you are too free. What to buy Handicraft in Filipino Market This is the souvenir and crafts paradise of kota kinabalu.. here, you get rows and rows of stalls housed together selling just about any crafts imaginable, whethere local or not.. definitely the on-stop shop for souvenirs to bring home.. whatever you wanna pay, make sure you bargain! usual asian shopping rule. Gaya Street Fairs A great way to jumpstart your Sunday morning tour. Gaya Street market opens only on Sunday morning. I love the atmosphere. The colours of painting, handicrafts and garments. The sounds of birds chirping and people haggling. The aromas of local delicacies. Take your time to browse through the merchandise displayed and you might discover something you really like to take home with you. Pets - puppies, tortoises, tropical fish, hamsters, birds, rabbits etc. FengShui figurines. Household Items Potted plants, fruit plant - lime, mango, even durian tree. Fresh flowers. Fresh fruit. Fresh vegetables. Souvenir items - key chains, bracelets, woodcarvings, seashells, T-shirts, caps etc. Local cakes and desserts Cheap but don't forget to bargain. Sinsuran Night Market There are night market near the sinsuran complez where is just like night market you find in any part of malaysia- selling fake branded watches, shoes, clothes, and some funny thing that you wont get in any of the big supermarket. Price can be bargained.

By Maria Recio McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Twenty years after the "year of the woman" election, when a record number of female candidates joined the storied "Senate club," women lawmakers will be seen in even greater numbers in the halls of Congress come January.
Senate Democrats have added four new female members and Senate Republicans have added one, bringing the ranks in the upper chamber to 20, a historic high. It resulted in a net gain of two seats for the Democrats, for a 55-45 advantage over Republicans because the Senate's two independents caucus with the Democrats.
Across the Capitol in the House of Representatives, a record 81 women were elected, with some races still undecided. Politicians, activists and scholars said the results signaled a new electoral era in which women, half the American population, were playing a role that more closely reflected society.
"As we increase the number of women, it brings to the forefront issues of women and families in a whole different way," said Stephanie Schriock, the president of Emily's List, an organization that works to elect women who support abortion rights to political office. "Women bring a different life experience."
In New Hampshire, the entire four-member congressional delegation – two senators and two House members, as well as the state's governor – is now female.
And speaking of New Hampshire, among the current crop of female lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte of the Granite State is among several who are getting early mentions as possible presidential contenders in 2016. The others are Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.
The new Senate women comprise two Democrats currently serving in the House: Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, who will also become the first openly gay member of the chamber. Others winners with political resumes were former North Dakota Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp, also a Democrat, and Deb Fischer, a Republican state legislator from Nebraska.
The most high-profile victor among the group, however wasn't a current or former lawmaker at all but a Harvard law professor, who as a prominent consumer advocate is familiar with the ways of Washington. Democratic Sen.-Elect Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts led financial restructuring efforts for the Obama administration. She unseated a Republican, Sen. Scott Brown.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who led her party's Senate campaign and herself was elected as the "mom in tennis shoes" in the 1992 watershed "year of the woman" election, said the Senate would be a different place next year, and that "will be good for the country."
Her predecessor as the party's Senate campaign chief, Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, said he preferred to field female candidates.
"The electorate wants people to compromise and come together," Schumer said. "Women are very good at doing that."
The campaigns, however, weren't always genteel. In general, the election was about the economy. But the hot button issues of abortion, contraception and equal pay dominated many races.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., began the cycle as the most vulnerable Senate incumbent. In increasingly conservative Missouri, Republicans saw her seat as a sure-fire pickup. But a crafty strategic move by McCaskill in the primary and some controversial comments about rape by her general election opponent, Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., reversed the playing field.
"Everybody thought Claire McCaskill was going to lose," said Schriock.
McCaskill and Democratic groups poured $1.5 million into Missouri's three-way Republican primary race to help Akin win, gambling that he was the opponent she had the best chance of defeating. Akin, after winning the nomination, undercut his own campaign – and led many in his party to sour on him – with his comments about "legitimate rape" and suggestion that a raped woman somehow could prevent a pregnancy.
McCaskill went on to a comfortable 15-point win.
The effect of all the attention on rape and abortion and the presence of women on the ballot seem to have galvanized female voters, who, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, came out to vote in greater numbers. Almost all of the 23 Senate races showed gender gaps from 5-13 percent, according to exit polling.
"The composition of the United States Senate in the 113th Congress would look very different if it were not for the votes of women in these races," said Sue Carroll, a senior scholar at the center. "It's clear that in a significant number of U.S. Senate races, women and men preferred different candidates, and women's preferences prevailed."

Members connecting via our Windows network access widget do not need to manually download or implement these configuration files, as they are pre-packaged with the widget installer.
This thread exists to serve as a one-stop location for the most current version of the client configuration files for cryptostorm. As new versions complete alpha (internal) and beta (community) testing successfully, they'll be swapped into this post - so that there's always the most current approved configs (and only the most current versions) here in this thread.
Note that all config files in this post have, as of today (12 January 2014) been upgraded to Hostname Assignment Framework compliance. This delivers vastly improved session security, resilience, and flexibility as our network continues to grow and expand.
A much deeper discussion of client configuration files, as well as archival copies of earlier versions, can be found in a separate, parallel thread. To ensure that discussion stays in one place, this post is locked & does not accept replies. Please, if you've got feedback or questions or comments on the config files, post them in the parallel thread - thanks!
These configuration files vary only in the choice of exitnode clusters embedded in them, and in their tuning for use with particular operating systems. Otherwise, they are identical to each other. Selected cipher suites, session parameters, and authentication methods are the same. Windows-based members connect to dedicated "instances" of our servers, and mostly everyone else can use the configuration files labelled "Linux." (we used to call those "raw" files but it was a terrible name and so we've moved to just using "Linux," even though it'll support BSD/OSX, and many other operating systems)
You will notice that there's two different ways to do broad-spectrum, "randomised" connections to our global network: dynamic, and settled. We can dig deeper into the differences in these models elsewhere; for here, it's best to think of the "settled" versions being less likely to "jump around" between geographically dispersed nodes during routine network interruptions. Conversely, "dynamic" balancers will be more aggressive in effectively randomising the node to which each session connects - including routine reconnects. Some folks like the extra variability and attack-surface hardening of the dynamic model; others want a bit more stability of node selection and thus the "settled" balancer does well for them.
Otherwise, network connections are made based on exitnode clusters as defined by a city (or, in a small number of cases, a geographic section of a larger country); this, again, relates to the HAF approach to network resilience, and is able to help ensure the network is always available, even with the routine ups and downs of individual nodes.

IE7, IE6 and The Windows Lifecycle
I've been getting questions from folks lately who are wondering what will happen to IE6 (SP1) when IE7 ships. "Will Microsoft continue to provide security updates for IE6 after IE7 ships?" "Will customers have to migrate to IE7 by some point in time?"
The answer is simple: IE6SP1's support policy will not change when IE7 ships. Everywhere that IE6SP1 is supported today, IE6SP1 will continue to be supported until the OS it ships with expires. Are you running IE6SP1 on Windows 2000 SP4? You will continue to get support for IE6SP1 until Windows 2000 expires (slated expiration: 2010). Are you running IE6SP1 on Windows XP SP1? You will continue to get support there until it expires in October. If you're running IE6 for Windows XP Service Pack 2, you can stay with that version of IE for as long as Windows XP SP2 is around. I would continue listing versions of Windows, but I think you get the idea.
Additionally, users will not be forced to migrate to IE7 when it's released. Of course, we hope our users will upgrade – we're proud of IE7 and are excited to see it ship! But, if you don't want to move, you won't have to. We will continue to keep our IE6 customers secure for those of you who can't or don't upgrade to IE7. As previously mentioned, Windows Update's Automatic Updates will offer IE7 to everyone by default, but it won't force you to install it.
I've blogged about this before as well in case you want to see what I said about the lifecycle 18 months ago. And as always, be sure to check out our official lifecycle site for a full list of products, dates, and definitions.

The burn on Brian's leg is healing so that very good. He brought a special boot that he wears to protect it. Brian was able to go back to work last week.
My wife and I fly to Baltimore Thursday night. On Friday Brian is having out patient surgery to replace the Baclofen pump, hopefully that will go smoothly. Several years ago when Brian had the original Baclofen pump surgery it was quite an ordeal. Three weeks after the first surgery the incision opened so to avoid infection they had to remove and install and new pump, then five months later there was an infection after the pump reservoir was refill so there was another surgery to install a new pump. For that surgery Brian had to drop out of medical school for the second semester. That whole process was quite an ordeal. Hopefully it will go much more smoothly this time.
On a positive note Brian was given an award at work. He was recognized as the Employee of the Month. It sounds a little silly, like the sign you see in the Home Depot parking lot, a reserved parking spot for the employee of the month but on the other hand it's better than being recognized as the worst employee of the month. Brian has a one year review coming up he's hoping to get a promotion and significant salary increase.

I've started a handy "ABC guide to surviving the Zombie Apocalypse" over at A to Zombie! Check it out, it just might save your life.
Growing up in southern california, I was always taught to be prepared for the inevitable "Big one". However, there's something much worse that we should all be prepared for... and that's zombies. Someday they are going to rise up, and I will be prepared. There are several things one must consider when picking a location to survive the impending zombie apocalypse. Most importantly, it should be in close proximity to either your home or workplace.
The second most important consideration when choosing a location to hide out in is familiarity. I grew up in La Verne, i know it's roads like the back of my hand. i've biked the trails in the foothills to the north, i've driven the shortcuts around town hundreds of times. Choose a location that you are not only familiar with, but that you have such fond memories of, you would do anything to preserve it's existence!
I present "Joey's Zombie Apocalypse Survival Plan". The Location i have chosen is Heritage Park in the small town of La Verne. It's about 45 minutes East of Los Angeles... If zombies were going to strike anywhere, LA and it's surrounding suburbs would be the place. Heritage park is a small historical chunk of land (4 acre's) deep in the suburbs of La Verne. Since most people would be fleeing for the desert to the east, i decided that i would stay close to home. The park is split up into two sections. The physical park itself, and then the Historical Citrus farm is it's conjoined twin. The Farm and the park are separated by a deep wash basin that carries water runoff from the foothills above La Verne out to the ocean. The farmland is also surrounded by a high fence, so the zombies are already going to have a hard time getting in, since zombies can't climb.
There are several structures on the property. The farm house is a two-story home, built probably in the early 1900's. The stairs are easily destructible incase there is a zombie breach and you need to get to high ground. The Barn is a quick walk from the farm house, and towards the back of the property is a guest house which i would use to house those in need, as well as extra storage and supplies that weren't essential.
When the zombie apocalypse comes, life as we know it will cease to exist. Man will have to learn to be self-sufficient. The farm provides the perfect solution with it's rows of citrus trees, it's vegetable garden, the barn, and windmill powered water-pump. I have also mapped out supply locations with their distance proximity to the park. Though i expect these supply points to be picked over by the masses before the great exodus, there's still bound to be some useful things left behind. Should the zombies breach the perimeter, and overtake the land, i have multiple escapes routes that will help ensure my safety.
If Left 4 Dead and World War Z have taught me anything... it's stick together, and plan ahead.

Bernie Madoff's Prized Collection of Minibar Bottles Hits Auction Block
Exciting news, Madofficionados! Yet another chance to own a piece of America's little Ponzi-schemin' dumpling is soon upon us. 58 lots from Bernard Madoff's personal wine cellar — hand-selected, the auction house director tells the NY Post, by someone who was "clearly not a connoisseur" — will hit the auction block next week.
Among the meager offerings, a "selection of 2-ounce bottles of Smirnoff vodka, Bombay gin and Grand Marnier liqueur." Presale estimate: $10 to $20. Knowledge that proceeds from your purchase of a "Madoff's Own" Long Island Iced Tea Kit will go directly to the victims of his $65 billion bunco game? Well, not quite priceless, but every little bit helps. [NY Post, photo via AP]

Q: I thought fish were dormant during the winter. So why do people ice fish?
Keith – Commerce, MI
A: Not all fish go dormant in the winter. Some fish species, like trout, bluegill, perch and crappies, will happily bite despite the ice! There's no reason to limit yourself to open-water fishing. With some gear and some know-how, you can sport fish or catch your dinner all year-long.
Whether you plan to cast a line your own ice-covered lake or angle in a favorite fishing spot in your area, you will need some basic equipment. Here's a quick list of expert-recommended must-have items:
- Clothing: Water- and wind-resistant clothing is a necessity on the ice—particularly if you're fishing in an area with biting winds and bitter cold. Make sure you have a warm hat, like a wool beanie, to cover your noggin, along with a warm parka with a hood. Dress in several thin layers, wear gloves, pull on some insulated rubber boots, and consider wearing some ice cleats to safely walk on the slippery stuff.
- Shelter/Windbreak: In addition to wearing the right type of clothing, a shelter or windbreak will keep those cold winds at bay. It doesn't have to be complicated: a frame with plastic, canvas or cardboard will do just fine. But there are some pretty upscale options for those who want to ice fish in style (while watching the big game on satellite TV!).
- Hole-Drilling Tools: To get to the fish, you need a way to plow through the ice. Tools like a spud bar, or a pipe or a pole with a blade will allow you to cut through a 1-foot-thick sheet of ice. If you're dealing with a thicker layer, consider investing in a 8-inch hand-driven or power auger with a spiral or spoon blade. It'll slice through the ice like butter.
- Tackle and Bait: Of course, you'll also need tackle and bait. The kind of fishing equipment you use will depend on the type of fish you're hoping to hook. Choose accordingly.
With all your gear ready, the next step is to find the fish! As any angler will attest, this is an art in and of itself, particularly if you've never fished a particular lake before. A hydrographic map and portable depth finder can help you find fishes' preferred hiding spots, and a fish finder or underwater camera can help you see them swimming about. So many gadgets, so little time …
If you plan to ice fish your own pond or lake, figure out where the game likes to congregate and plan to cast your line there. If you don't have an established habitat yet, create one before the ice covers your pond by installing some Porcupine® Fish Attractor Spheres. When these 6-inch-diameter spheres are outfitted with 26 individual ½-inch PVC pipes, they create 5½ feet of coverage for fish to hide within—and a spot where you can successfully get a bite.
Safety is critical when ice fishing. As fun and relaxing as the sport may be, it can be dangerous when these basic safety tips aren't followed:
- Ensure the ice is at least 3 to 6 inches thick to walk on, at least 7 inches thick to drive on with a car, and 10 inches thick to drive on with a truck. The thicker, the better!
- Avoid areas of cracked ice and listen carefully for loud booms or cracking sounds, which could indicate the ice is shifting.
- Never fish alone.
- If you bring pets or children with you, supervise them at all times and keep your dog on a leash.
- Have safety equipment, like a Life Ring or life vest, rope, blankets and a first aid kit, on hand in case of emergency.
- When you're finished, mark or cover your hole with a branch to prevent anyone from stepping into your hole.

Karns promoted to fill in for Detwiler
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals placed Ross Detwiler on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday, leaving them in need of a starter for Tuesday's game against the Orioles. After Monday's game, Nationals manager Davey Johnson announced that Nathan Karns, the Nationals' 2012 Minor League Pitcher of the Year and No. 6 prospect, will fill that slot.
"It'll be a good test," Johnson said. "We'll find out [if he's ready]. … First time out in spring, he threw the ball good and then got a little anxious. But he's got a great arm. So he's going to start Tuesday."
Karns, 25, will be making his Major League debut. In nine starts with Double-A Harrisburg this season, he was 4-2 with a 4.60 ERA, including 55 strikeouts, 18 walks and one complete game. He was drafted by the Nationals out of Texas Tech in the 12th round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft.
Left-hander Xavier Cedeno, who was called up for Monday's game but did not pitch, will return to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for Karns on the Nationals' roster.
Johnson said that Karns has a good fastball and hard breaking ball that's "more of a slurve." Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki caught Karns in Spring Training and said that he liked what he saw.
"[We'll] try to keep him calm, he'll be a little amped up out there," Suzuki said. "It's his first start, he's going to be nervous. But the more fun he has, I think the better he will be."

Should Medicare's Eligibility Age Be Raised?
With tens of millions of baby boomers heading into retirement, Medicare's long-term financial prognosis is grim. One proposed solution is to raise the eligibility age gradually to 67 from 65.
Proponents of this idea note that we are living longer now than we were when Medicare began in 1966, and that the new health-care law will ensure that older Americans have access to affordable insurance even if they can't get coverage through an employer.
Others say that making Americans wait two extra years to get Medicare would be unfair to the poor, increase the ranks of the uninsured and, most importantly, end up costing Americans more than it saves them.

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Atenolol belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers. It is used to lower high blood pressure and to prevent the symptoms of angina (chest pain). It works by reducing the demands put on the heart.
Atenolol is often used in combination with other high blood pressure medications such as diuretics (water pills) when the use of one medication by itself is not enough to control blood pressure.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
How should I use this medication?
The recommended adult dose of atenolol ranges from 50 mg to 100 mg once daily depending on circumstances. If you have reduced kidney function you may need much lower doses. The full effect of the medication is usually reached within 1 to 2 weeks. If blood pressure is not reduced sufficiently after this time, your doctor may increase the dose of the medication or add another blood pressure-lowering medication. If satisfactory results are not seen within 1 week for treatment of angina, your doctor may increase the dose of atenolol.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
50 mg
Each white, round, biconvex, film-coated tablet, with "P" logo over "50" on the scored side and "ATENOLOL" on the other side, contains atenolol 50 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, magnesium trisilicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, talc, and titanium dioxide.

Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Breathing conditions: In general, people who have asthma and certain other breathing problems or chronic lung disease should not take a beta-blocker such as atenolol. Low doses of atenolol may be taken with caution by those with asthma who do not respond to or cannot tolerate alternative treatment.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: The use of atenolol is unlikely to impair your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, it should be taken into account that dizziness, fatigue, or a slower reaction time may occur.
History of heart failure: If you have a history of heart failure you should be cautious while taking atenolol as it may increase the risks associated with this condition.
Hyperthyroidism:If you have hyperthyroidism (high levels of thyroid hormones) you should use caution while taking atenolol as it may reduce the symptoms of this condition, giving a false impression of improvement. Stopping the medication suddenly could worsen this condition.
Kidney disease: If you have kidney disease you should use caution while taking atenolol as you are at increased risk of experiencing side effects.
Low blood sugar: The signs of low blood sugar may not be as noticeable when taking atenolol. If you have diabetes and take insulin or other medications that affect insulin levels in the blood, you should be cautious and monitor blood sugar carefully while taking this medication.
Prinzmetal's angina: Atenolol may increase the number and duration of angina attacks in patients with Prinzmetal's angina. Therefore, people who have this condition should be cautious while taking atenolol.
Severe allergies: If you have allergies severe enough to cause anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction where swelling of the face, lips, and throat make it difficult to breathe), you should talk to your doctor about what to do if you have an allergic reaction. Atenolol may make it more difficult to treat your allergic reaction with epinephrine.
Slow heart rate: In general, people with an abnormally slow pulse should not take a beta-blocker such as atenolol.
Stopping usage: Atenolol should not be stopped suddenly. There have been reports of severe worsening of angina and of heart attack or abnormal heart rhythms occurring in people with angina pectoris who have done this.
Surgery: If you are scheduled for surgery, inform all doctors involved in your care that you are taking atenolol.
Pregnancy: There have not been adequate studies on the use of atenolol by pregnant women; however, studies have shown that atenolol does cross the placenta. This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking atenolol, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between atenolol and any of the following:
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.
