Here is an additional general information about this medication active ingredient sildenafil:
Pharmacological action
Female Viagra is a medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. This drug restores impaired erectile function and provides a natural response to sexual stimulation. Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) which is responsible for the breakdown of cGMP in the cavernous body. This medicine has no direct relaxing effect on corpus cavernosum, but enhances the relaxing effect of active nitric oxide in this tissue. When sexually aroused the local release of NO under the influence of sildenafil leads to the inhibition of PDE-5 and increase of cGMP in the cavernous body, resulting in relaxation of smooth muscles and increasing blood flow to the cavernous body. Sildenafil may cause mild and transient violation of distinguishing colors (blue / green). Alleged violations of the mechanism of color vision is PDE6 oppression, which is involved in the transmission of light in the retina.
After oral administration Female Viagra is rapidly absorbed. The absolute bioavailability averages 40% (25-63%). After a single oral dose in 100 mg C
is 18 ng / ml and is reached in the fasting during 30-120 min. When taking sildenafil in combination with fatty food the intake rate decreases; T
increased by 60 min and C
decreased by an average of 29%. V
of sildenafil at steady state an average is 105 liters. Sildenafil and its major circulating N-desmethyl metabolite approximately 96% bound to plasma proteins. Protein binding does not depend on the total concentration of sildenafil. Less than 0.0002% of the dose (mean 188 ng) were detected in semen up to 90 min after administration of sildenafil.
Female Viagra is metabolized primarily by the action of microsomal liver isoenzymes CYP3A4 (major route) and CYP2C9.
The total clearance of sildenafil from the body is equal to 41 l / h, T
in the terminal phase is 3-5 hours. After oral administration, sildenafil is displayed in the form of metabolites mainly in the faeces (approximately 80% of dose) and to a lesser extent in the urine (approximately 13% of dose).
In elderly patients (aged 65 and older) sildenafil clearance is reduced, and the concentration of free active substance in the plasma by approximately 40% higher than its concentration in young (18-45 years) patients.
In renal insufficiency, mild (creatinine clearance 50-80 ml / min) and medium (CC 30-49 ml / min) the severity of the pharmacokinetic parameters of sildenafil after oral administration of a single dose (50 mg) did not change. In renal failure, severe (CC < 30 mL / min), sildenafil clearance is reduced, resulting in approximately twofold increase in AUC (100%) and C
(88%) compared with those with normal indices of renal function in patients of the same age group.
In patients with liver cirrhosis (class A and B in Child-Pugh), sildenafil clearance is reduced, which leads to an increase in AUC (84%) and Cmax (47%) compared with those with normal parameters of liver function in patients of the same age group.
Why is Female Viagra prescribed?
Treatment of erectile dysfunction, characterized by an inability to achieve or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse.
Dosage and administration
Female Viagra is taken orally for about an hour before the planned sexual activity. A single dose is 50 mg. Given the efficacy and tolerability the dose may be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The maximum single dose is 100 mg. The maximum frequency of use is 1 time / day.
For elderly patients aged 65 years and with concomitant renal impairment or hepatic the dose is 25 mg.
Female Viagra side effects, adverse reactions
Central nervous system: possible headache, flushing, dizziness, insomnia.
Digestive system: dyspepsia, asthenia, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea.
Musculoskeletal system: arthralgia, myalgia, increased muscle tone.
Respiratory system: nasal congestion, pharyngitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, respiratory tract infections, respiratory failure.
Vision: vision changes (mild and transient, mostly to change the color of objects, as well as increased perception of light and blurred vision), conjunctivitis.
Other: there may be flu-like symptoms, development of infectious disease, symptoms of vasodilation, back pain, rash, urinary tract infection, dysfunction of the prostate gland; in single cases - priapism.
Female Viagra contraindications
The simultaneous administration of donor of nitric oxide or nitrates in any form, hypersensitivity to sildenafil.
Special instructions
Before taking Female Viagra it should be undertake a survey of the cardiovascular system.
This medication should be used with caution in patients with anatomical deformation of the penis (such as angulation, cavernous fibrosis or Peyronie's disease) and people with medical conditions that predispose to priapism (such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia).
It should not be used in patients for whom sexual activity is contraindicated.
With caution ude Female Viagra in patients with a tendency to bleeding, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer in acute phase, with hereditary retinitis pigmentosa.
In experimental studies have not been found any evidence of carcinogenicity of sildenafil. Bacterial and in vivo mutagenicity tests for the study were negative.
This drug is not used in patients under the age of 18 years.
Sildenafil has no effect on the ability to drive and control mechanisms.
Female Viagra drug interactions
When this drug applied simultaneously with:
- inhibitors of CYP3A4 (erythromycin, cimetidine) decreased clearance of sildenafil, increasing the concentration of Female Viagra in plasma.
- indinavir, saquinavir, ritonavir increases the plasma C
and AUC of sildenafil, which is due to inhibition of CYP3A4 isoenzyme under the influence of indinavir, saquinavir, ritonavir.
One might expect that stronger inhibitors of isoenzyme CYP3A4, such as ketoconazole or itraconazole would increase the concentration of this medication in the blood plasma.
While the use with nitrates the hypotensive effect of nitrates increases.
There was described a case of rhabdomyolysis symptoms after a single oral dose of sildenafil in patients receiving simvastatin.
Female Viagra in case of emergency / overdose
Symptoms: in studies in healthy volunteers in single dose of 800 mg of sildenafil was observed increased severity of side effects.
Treatment is symptomatic. Dialysis is ineffective because of the high degree of binding of sildenafil and its metabolite to plasma proteins.

TAUNTON — The Taunton mom behind a proposed science museum for her community received support from like-minded parents and a city official who suggested a potential future home for the establishment on Thursday.
The Curiosity Factory, a proposed science museum conceived by Betsy Rabel, held its inaugural meeting on Thursday night at the Trescott Street Gallery, providing an introduction for the concept and soliciting input from members of the community.
"I was excited to see people coming out who just want to volunteer their time," said Rabel, who works for the state as a forensic scientist. "Because that's what it's going to take — the community's time and involvement."
Taunton Water Division Supervisor Cathal O'Brien attended the meeting and suggested that the city may be open to give The Curiosity Factory space in the Harris Street Pumping Station.
"We're just looking at a re-use plan for the building," O'Brien said. "We wanted to make them aware we are re-evaluating the building. It's up to the mayor and the City Council what they want to do with it. But in the past, separate from this group, we have thought of some ideas for a passive use for this building because of its odd location and historical value. We thought, at the very least, we should make them aware of it."
O'Brien said the city's Parks, Cemeteries and Public Grounds Department would continue to utilize its office in the Harris Street building, but there is a large unoccupied space in there that he believes would be a good fit for such a museum. O'Brien said that the building could be refurbished, and said he envisions a science exhibit that could showcase the city's water works.
"It has the potential value for adults and children alike to see what really goes on in applied science and, if nothing else, it's the good use of a nice building and it doesn't conflict with Park and Rec," O'Brien said.
Rabel said that O'Brien's proposal was "beyond exciting," but first The Curiosity Factory will establish itself as a mobile museum of exhibits that will come to life through its free "Science Saturdays" starting in June at the Trescott Street Gallery. Rabel said her group is currently looking for funding to create exhibits, and also needs to obtain official nonprofit status, which will cost $900.
Elisa Scully, who runs the Trescott Street Gallery and is the treasurer of The Curiosity Factory, said that such a science museum is needed in Taunton.
"I think it's fantastic," Scully said. "Universally, when you talk about it in Taunton people say, 'Of course we should have a children's museum.' It's of great need. It's something children would enjoy and families would enjoy. It's great for education, it's great for economic development and it's fun. It's a no brainer."
Scully said that the Trescott Street Gallery was formed to help host community arts events and organizations like The Curiosity Factory.
Col. Rich Davenport, who is retired from the Air Force, said that children in Taunton and throughout the country need more science and that The Curiosity Factory fits that need.
"You have a lot of kids who don't know what they will do with their lives," said Davenport, who taught chemistry in the military and instructed the Air Force JROTC at Taunton High School. "This is something that could actually get kids interested in science. You see all the scores in science and math going down in the U.S. You need to get working from the grassroots. I think the kids will be involved and interested."

Young entrepreneurs to pitch business ideas April 18
UTICA >> On Thursday, April 18, eight local students ages 11 to 19 will take the stage at Mohawk Valley Community College to pitch entrepreneurial plans to prominent local business leaders. The event is a centerpiece of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) at MVCC and is free and open to the public. There will be a reception at 4:30 p.m. and business presentations will begin at 5 p.m. in the Schafer Theater, in the Information Technology building on the Utica campus.
During the inaugural YEA! Investor Panel, leaders from Beebe Construction, Mohawk Limited, First Source Federal Credit Union, M&T Bank and the Mohawk Valley Chamber of Commerce will determine which students' businesses or social movements are most worthy of funding, and will determine funds to be allocated.
MVCC admissions specialist and local radio personality Kenny "the Promo Guy" Morrison will emcee the event. The students, all of whom are in grades 6-12 at local schools, will interact with business experts in a lively setting as they unveil their ideas publicly for the first time. The Investor Panel is an annual culminating event of the YEA! program, which delivers entrepreneurship education to local students and results in student business ideas being funded. Funding and guidance, which are contributed by sponsors represented on the Investor Panel, enable winning students to start up actual enterprises or social movements.
MVCC launched its YEA! program in Fall 2012, providing educational services and inspiration to students in the process of starting and running real businesses over the course of a full academic year. Students work in close cooperation with local leaders of industry, community members, and educators to develop ideas and objectives, write business plans, pitch potential investors, obtain funding, register with governmental agencies, and develop their brand identity. By the end of the class, students own and operate fully functioning businesses that can be carried on after graduation.
The YEA! Investor Panel is part of an Evening of Entrepreneurship, highlighting MVCC's increasing focus on helping local people start and succeed in small business and entrepreneurial ventures. In addition to the Investor Panel, the evening of April 18 will include "Entrepreneurship in the Classroom: From Ideation to Reality," an interactive lecture with entrepreneurship expert John Liddy. Liddy, entrepreneur in residence at MVCC, Syracuse University and Le Moyne College and director of the Syracuse Student Sandbox, will speak at 7 p.m. also in Schafer Theater. He will discuss how to connect the lines of communication between campuses and the business community to contribute to the climate for startup businesses. Liddy's presentation is also free and open to the public in the Schafer Theater.

Mayberry's grand slam lifts Phils past Marlins in extras
Philadelphia, PA – John Mayberry tied the game with a solo shot in the 10th and then won it with a grand slam in the 11th, as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied past the Miami Marlins, 7-3, in the middle test of a three-game set Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park.
After the Marlins took a 3-2 lead in the top of the 10th, Mayberry led off the bottom half with a line-drive shot off Steve Cishek into the seats in left- center field.
Michael Stutes (1-0) then worked around a two-out single in the 11th before Domonic Brown reached first on Miami reliever Edgar Olmos' fielding error with one out in the home half.
Brown moved to second on pinch-hitter Kyle Kendrick's bunt before Olmos (0-1) intentionally walked Freddy Galvis and issued a four-pitch free pass to Erik Kratz to load the bases.
Facing a 1-1 count, Mayberry scorched a fastball into the first row in left field to send the Phillies to their third straight victory.
"It's definitely awesome. It's something that you dream of doing," Mayberry said of his late-game heroics. "One of those crazy games where you're the guy up to the plate in key situations and you're able to come through."
Kratz added a game-tying double in the seventh, while Delmon Young registered an RBI and a run scored in the victory.
Rob Brantly and Casey Kotchman each knocked in a run for the Marlins, who had won three straight before dropping the first two games of this set.
"That was a tough loss for us," Miami coach Mike Redmond admitted. "We had a couple of opportunities early in the game, we had runner there on third with one out, and we couldn't get those add-on runs."
Miami started Ricky Nolasco sliced through the Phillies' lineup in the early going, allowing just one hit through six frames before running into trouble in the seventh.
With the Phils down 2-0, Ryan Howard led off the frame with a double off the right-field wall before scoring two batters later on Young's two-bagger to center. After Galvis fanned, Kratz clubbed a pinch-hit double off the top of the wall in right to plate Young and knot the game at 2-2.
Miami jumped in front briefly in the 10th. Antonio Bastardo issued a leadoff walk to Juan Pierre, who moved second on a bunt and then stole third before racing home on Bastardo's wild pitch to give the Marlins a 3-2 edge.
Early on, Miami got to Philadelphia starter Jonathan Pettibone in the second, as Marcell Ozuna ripped a leadoff double and Derek Dietrich followed with a single before Ozuna scored on Kotchman's groundout to make it 1-0.
The Marlins added another run in the fifth. Adeiny Hechavarria smacked a leadoff single before reaching second when Philadelphia shortstop Jimmy Rollins was unable to handle a throw from catcher Humberto Quintero on Hechavarria's steal attempt.
The error proved costly, as Brantly followed with a single to left to plate Hechavarria for a 2-0 lead.
Game Notes
The last time the Phillies ended a game with a grand slam was Aug. 13, 1993 when Kim Batiste accomplished the feat against Anthony Young of the New York Mets in a 9-5 victory at Veterans Stadium ... Nolasco was charged for two runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 6 2/3 frames ... Pettibone allowed two runs -- one earned -- on seven hits and two walks over six innings ... The Phillies have scored exactly seven runs in three straight games ... Ozuna has reached base safely in 20 straight games ... Mayberry's grand slam was Philadelphia's first of the season.

Difference between revisions of "5. National Agriculture Library funding"
(No difference)
Revision as of 10:32, 12 May 2008
Action Alert
National Agriculture Library funding
Colleagues, below you will find background information and talking points in support of funding for the National Agriculture Library (NAL).
Talking points
As the Washington Post reported on May 1st (login required), "the National Agricultural Library's budget is slated for drastic cuts in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. The cuts could end the acquisition of new printed works, endanger the preservation of its special collections, halt document delivery and turn a national library into a local one. Unless Congress votes to restore the money, a farmer or researcher will soon have to travel to Beltsville to investigate a new soil amendment, study an old crop rotation scheme or gauge the progress of an invading weed."
In a March 20 letter to the chair of the Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, Emily Sheketoff of ALA's Washington Office and Prue Adler, Associate Executive Director of the Association of Research Libraries, laid out the concerns of the library community:
"Unfortunately, the President's FY 2009 budget request fails to provide the support needed to maintain current services at NAL and position the Library to serve our Nation in the years ahead. At a minimum, restoration of the proposed reductions is critically important if NAL is to maintain its leadership in the provision of longterm preservation and access to agricultural information and literature...
"U.S. research libraries and members of the agricultural community depend upon NAL for a diverse array of services and information resources. For example, NAL acquires, preserves and manages information and services in agricultural and allied sciences; organizes agricultural information by cataloging, indexing, and making it readily available; and cooperates with public and private agricultural industries and programs to manage a comprehensive information network. Unfortunately, some of the NAL services are in jeopardy because the President's proposed FY 2009 request of $18 million falls short of the FY 2008 budget by $4 million, and is $6 million less than the FY 2007 budget for the Library...
"Document delivery service to libraries would cease under the proposed budget. For example, NAL would be forced to discontinue free document delivery service to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and libraries in developing countries. In FY 2007, NAL document delivery services filled 29,000 requests for print-based materials. Under the proposed budget request, NAL would not be able to continue to provide such service in FY 2009 if the proposed reductions are enacted. The public, including USDA researchers outside of Beltsville, MD, scientists, student, educators, and researchers would be forced to travel to NAL to view needed resources on-site."
The Government Documents Round Table of the American Library Association urges you to contact your representatives and tell them why the National Agriculture Library is important to your library, and their constituents. It is particularly important for those of you who live or work in a district represented by any of the members of the House Appropriations Committee, Subcomittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies (listed below) to contact those legislators.
MAJORITY Chair: Rosa DeLauro (CT) Maurice D. Hinchey (NY) Sam Farr (CA) Allen Boyd (FL) Sanford Bishop (GA) Marcy Kaptur (OH) Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. (IL) Steven R. Rothman (NJ) Dave Obey (WI), Ex Officio MINORITY Ranking Member: Jack Kingston (GA) Tom Latham (IA) Jo Ann Emerson (MO) Ray LaHood (IL) Rodney Alexander (LA) Jerry Lewis (CA), Ex Officio
Thank you,

Sample Fax/E-Mail Message
Feel free to personalize this text with your own words. Our message to our representatives is strongest when we share our stories of the importance of government information to our users and their constituents.
The Honorable ______
(fax no.)
Dear (Representative/Senator) ______ ,
I am writing to express my support for the funding needed to maintain the services provided by the National Agriculture Library (NAL). The NAL is the world's largest agricultural research library and provides unmatched services to a broad group of stakeholders, including farmers, educators, and policymakers throughout the country. Unfortunately, the President's FY 2009 budget request fails to provide the support needed to maintain current services at NAL and position the Library to serve our Nation in the years ahead. At a minimum, restoration of the proposed reductions is critically important if NAL is to maintain its leadership in the provision of long-term preservation and access to agricultural information and literature.
Established in 1862, the NAL holds a rich collection of resources not found elsewhere, and libraries across the Nation and throughout the world rely on the Library's document delivery service for access to these unique materials. But as the Washington Post reported in its May 1st story, A Precious Resource at Risk, the NAL is "slated for drastic cuts" which imperil its acquisitions, special collections, and document delivery service, and could "turn a national library into a local one."
I urge you to support the restoration of the funds needed to maintain the critical services provided by the NAL, so that the American public can continue to derive the full benefit of our 146-year investment in this outstanding information resource. Thank you for your consideration.

WALTHAM, Mass. - Behind a season-high 12 blocks, Western New England University defeated the Brandeis University volleyball team 3-1 to clinch the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III New England Championship. Set scores were 25-16, 17-25, 25-17 and 25-21. Western New England senior right-side hitter Inna Sergeychik (West Springfield, Mass./West Springfield) was named the tournament's most valuable player.
The Judges moved to 21-14 on the season, the team's first 20-win season since 2007. The Golden Bears moved to 25-7 after defeating Keene State College in the semifinal round. It was Western New England's first ECAC Championship.
The teams battled back-and-forth in the first set before Western New England took advantage of some sloppy hitting from Brandeis. Tied 8-8, the Golden Bears took advantage of 11 hitting errors from the Judges to go on a 17-8 run, clinching the set 25-16. Junior outside hitter Si-Si Hensley (Fullerton, Calif./Troy) led Brandeis, scoring five kills without an error for a .357 hitting percentage.
Behind kills from eight different players, Brandeis bounced back to take the second set, 25-17. Junior setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) led the way with 10 assists and one kill.
The two sides traded blows in the third set, and the Golden Bears were again able to make a run midway through the set. Trailing 12-11, Western New England used a combined two kills and three blocks from Sergeychik and junior middle hitter Tyler Singh (Dumont, N.J./Dumont) to close on a 14-5 run and win 25-17.
The fourth set was much of the same. Sergeychik tallied five kills, four digs, and another block assist, and the Golden Bears maintained a 3-4 point lead for most of the set. Sophomore outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.) kept the Judges close with five kills of the team's 11 kills, but Brandeis was unable to get over the hump, losing the set 25-21, and the match.
Hood led Brandeis with 13 kills, while Hensley finished with 11 kills and 13 digs. Sophomore libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantsville, Conn./Southington) led the Judges with 17 digs, and rookie defensive specialist Amaris Brown (Brooklyn, N.Y./Brooklyn Friends School) added 11 of her own.
Western New England was led by Singh, who had 10 kills, eight block assists and six digs. Sergeychik added eight kills, seven block assists and eight digs, while sophomore libero Grace Kucharski (Avon, Conn./Avon) had a game-high 19 digs.
In its semifinal match, the Golden Bears defeated the Keene State Owls 3-1. As it did in the Championship, Western New England lost the second set against Keene State, but again was able to rebound for a 25-21, 20-25, 25-23 and 25-21 victory. Freshman outside hitter Emily McGran (Lakewood, Ill./Huntley) led the Golden Bears with 11 kills. Sergeychik added nine kills in just 20 attempts, while Kucharski had a game-high 19 digs. The Owls were paced by sophomore libero Sammy Dormio (Leesburg, VA./Loudon County) who had a game-high 16 kills and a team-high 16 digs.


text: There are millions of apps out there, and some of them are actually useful. 2012 was an especially busy year for developers, who churned out roughly eleventy-billion apps, including a few for Windows phones. We saw the rise and rise of Instagram, the short-lived Draw Something fad and the inauguration of presidential campaign apps. We've already run down the essential apps — 413 essential apps, to be exact — and now, as the year winds down, we run down the most memorable. We're quite sure we've omitted something you feel incredibly passionate about, so let us know about it in the comments. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Can't Stop Talking About Instagram Instagram has been around since 2010, but this year was the app's hottest by far. In April, Instagram finally expanded to Android users, giving millions more people access to its trove of cat, food and sunset photos. But the biggest news of all: Facebook made Instagram its billion-dollar baby. Now you can measure everything companies buy in terms of Instagrams. Just as people were letting up on that whole "Facebook will ruin Instagram" thing, the company let slip a damaging Terms of Service update. One section of the updated TOS outlined stated that Instagram has the right to sell its users' photos for advertisement. Moans morphed into uproar. The company argued the language of its new TOS was "confusing" and everything was A-OK, but that didn't keep users from deleting their accounts. It wasn't long before Instagram reverted to advertising guidelines detailed in terms of service published in October 2010. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Election Year Apps The 2012 presidential election was the first to get its very own apps. President Barack Obama and GOP candidate Mitt Romney embraced the smartphone, although in completely different ways. The Obama campaign released an Obama for America app packed with election information, campaign news and grassroots organizational tools. The Romney campaign took a different approach, releasing a single-purpose app called Mitt's VP to announce Romney's vice presidential candidate. (Who was that guy again?) In four years, the presidential election moved from Obama using text messages to announce his running mate in 2008 to a fully designed app with Twitter feed access, push notifications and all for Romney in 2012. It's just the start of politicians embracing the smartphone. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Amercia Fail But with technology come political gaffes. Prior to releasing the Mitt's VP app, the Romney campaign attempted to rally supporters around a classic photo-sharing app called With Mitt. The problem: One photo template featured the words "A Better Amercia." D'oh. Of course, the app immediately sparked a new meme as people began posting silly photos behind the app's failed template. God bless Amercia. And the internet. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Facebook Takes on Mobile Sure, Facebook had a mobile app before 2012, but it wasn't until this year that the social networking juggernaut took its mobile presence at all seriously. Facebook launched its standalone Facebook Camera app to accompany Facebook Messenger. And you already knew the company spent roughly 64 boatloads of money to buy Instagram, proving Zuck and co. want to be serious players in the mobile space. What's more, the notoriously slow Facebook mobile apps got a ground-up rework. Facebook doubled the speed of its iOS apps, and added more features to the main mobile experience. The company outlined that it would continue to update its mobile apps on a more frequent basis, so its users won't have to deal with a sluggish and mediocre experience when it comes to accessing Facebook through their phones. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired The Year of Ridesharing In 2012, it became incredibly easy to get a stranger to drive you around town. While Uber has been available for the last two years, it wasn't until this year that ridesharing became commonplace in cities like San Francisco, New York, Boston and more. In June, SideCar began giving you access to rides around your city. And the now-infamous pink mustaches took to the road in August with the launch of Zimride's Lyft. Through a simple iPhone or Android app, people looking for rides can alert these companies' drivers — just your average people with a decent car and a clean driving record — to pick them up. To avoid breaking taxi laws, passengers pay suggested "donations" rather than fixed fees. It didn't take long for ridesharing apps to draw heat. Just a couple of months after launch, the California Public Utilities Commission hit SideCar with a cease-and-desist letter claiming the service lacked the licenses to protect its passengers. Uber and Lyft were hit with similar orders in other states. Yet all of the services, and their apps, continue to operate as the companies work with the government to figure out what is and isn't legal when it comes to ridesharing. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Most Shafted Apps Third-party Twitter clients got the shaft in August when Twitter changed its API. Twitter essentially blocked growth potential and limited capabilities to popular apps like Tweetbot, Twitterific and Echofon. Although the move makes total sense for Twitter, which wants people using its home-built apps, it was a huge loss for pretty much everyone. The third-party Twitter apps filled in feature gaps that Twitter lacked. Now they're getting cut off in a big way. As Wired noted earlier this month, Twitter's API change was also one of year's biggest tech fails. Photo: Peter McCollough/Wired Biggest App Fad For a couple of months there, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing someone on the corner, on the bus, in a coffee shop — hell, damn near anywhere — playing Omgpop's Draw Something. The social drawing app became the most addictive game of the year, bringing back memories of everyone's Pictionary adventures. The app was a ginormous hit, reaching 10 million downloads within the first two weeks. Social gaming giant Zynga took notice and bought Omgpop for an estimated $200 million. By March, just over a month after Draw Something's release, the app touted 20.5 million daily users. It alone gave Zynga a 25 percent boost in daily active users. But the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and it wasn't long before people were moving on at alarming rates. In the month after the Zynga acquisition, Draw Something lost 5 million users. The app continued to shed players until it was almost laughable that Windows Phone touted it had "popular games" like Draw Something on its platform in October. Honorary Mention: Letterpress Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Stories in App Form It remains to be seen whether app-only news sources and magazines succeed, but the space saw a lot of growth and some contraction in 2012. We saw the launch of news apps like The Magazine and Circa, but also the shuttering of The Daily. The three aimed to bring original content to an app-only experience, but the closure of The Daily — a monumental effort by News Corp — in December showed it isn't easy running a successful app-based news model. Nonetheless, 2012 was a year of experimentation. The Magazine, from Instapaper's Marco Arment, attempts something different than the typical news app. For $2 a month, The Magazine offers up for original longform stories on a bi-weekly basis — eight total stories a month. Circa, on the other hand, aims to deliver quick and easily digestible news. Editors pull out facts and quotes and stats from stories and shape it into a short, concise story (with a link back to the original piece). And for on-the-go video news, former Huffington Post execs launched NowThisNews in November. As we move into 2013 we'll likely see more mobile-first news and content sites to come. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Prettiest App When it comes to beautiful apps, Paper takes the prize this year. The app by FiftyThree won worthy recognition with this year's Apple's design award. The app turns the iPad into a journaling tool much like, you guessed it, paper. It's not a full-blown graphics app. Rather, Paper gives you the basics to create a digital journal. You can draw, sketch, write and more, all through touch. The app supports the iPad's Retina Display and offers various colors and pen options. The result is a seamless and natural experience that mimics physical journaling. For examples of what users have created using the Paper app, check out the site here. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Best Productivity Apps Productivity apps aren't the sexiest, but they are definitely useful and we've got two you definitely want to check out. Flexibits' Fantastical was already a hit as a Mac app when the developer finally launched its iOS version. The app does much more than the built-in calendar app — its most powerful feature is the natural language recognition. Gone are the days of entering in dates, times and locations into specific boxes. Fantastical recognizes what you want to add to your calendar, and also supports dictation. To-do list app Clear also stood out with its unique design, which resembled Windows Phone's style more than iOS. The app separates tasks in a colorful interface and uses touch gestures — like swiping an item to complete or pinching a list apart to add a new task — to manage all of your to do lists. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Google Maps Takes a Win The launch of Apple's iOS 6 Maps wasn't just a fail for Apple, it was a big win for Google. People complained so much about Apple's homegrown Maps experience, that CEO Tim Cook issued an apology — something unheard of out of Cupertino. For months, once happy iPhone users longed for the days of iOS 5 Google-powered maps and eagerly waited for Google to release a standalone iOS Maps app. In the meantime, people even bookmarked Google Maps in Safari for a mobile web-based map offering. When Google finally released its iOS app in December, users rejoiced. They had their reliable maps back, ones that wouldn't lead them into riverbanks or unknown destinations.

WITH VIDEO: Dale Hammond really doesn't sweat the small stuff anymore. She lives in the moment, is grateful for just about everything, especially her family and friends, and doesn't for a moment take life for granted.
Shaping Up: A show of strength – and gratitude
Dale Hammond really doesn't sweat the small stuff anymore.
She lives in the moment, is grateful for just about everything, especially her family and friends, and doesn't for a moment take life for granted.
That's because in 1997, at the age of 37, she very nearly lost everything.
"You can have millions of dollars, but if you lose your health, well, it doesn't mean a thing," the kind and gentle new grandmother told me.
Hammond was a busy, stay-at-home mother raising two children, a girl and a boy, running them to sports, managing both a home in Deux-Montagnes and a country home in the Laurentians, where she loved to canoe and hike and bike.
"Oh, I was healthy," she joked. "I rarely even caught colds."
But she began to feel weakness in her arms and legs, was fatigued and often nauseated. "I pushed on, though, like most mothers, and thought it would pass."
When it didn't, she went to a clinic where a doctor told her it was just a virus and nothing to worry about. Weeks later, she returned with the same symptoms, only to be told the same thing.
"I wasn't getting any better and always felt like I had a really bad hangover, and I didn't drink," she said with a laugh.
Hammond went up north for a summer vacation and had to cut it short. "I was really, really sick, dizzy, weak and vomiting and couldn't handle it."
Bruce, Hammond's husband of 36 years, couldn't watch his wife suffer anymore and took her to a hospital. Good thing he did: Hammond collapsed there.
Still unsure what she was suffering from, the hospital, Bruce said, began treating everything. Hammond's lungs and pericardium were full of fluid and her organs were beginning to shut down. The local hospital had her transferred to Sacré-Coeur hospital in Montreal, where she was given a diagnosis: a rare form of a rare disease. She is one of only three people in the world to have Addison's Cardiovascular Disease, an autoimmune disorder.
She was put in an induced coma for six weeks and was given last rites three times.
When she woke up, she had very little memory of what had happened and said she asked to get up to go to the washroom.
"I didn't know I had been out for six weeks."
She didn't realize she was unable to get up, let alone walk.
Hammond had to relearn everything. She had no muscle strength, she couldn't roll over, couldn't even hold a teacup. Hammond was hospitalized for four months.
Her recovery was slow and often painful, and she had physiotherapy for years.
Over time, she recovered and regained her strength.
Between the illness, medications — and an initial fear of exercising — she put on over 60 pounds, she said, and wanted to lose it.
"I started to walk every day."
She eventually joined a gym and began working out three or four times a week. That's when she realized she wanted to help people in much the same way people had helped her.
"My mother had been ill, and I was helping her regain her strength," she said.
"I knew what it felt like to be old before my time, and how even the most simple things could be so difficult." So she contacted CanFit and asked about learning to work with seniors. "They told me I had to begin with a personal training certification and then I could do an Older Adult specialization course."
Hammond went for it.
In 2008, she was certified as a personal trainer; two years later, she took the specialized certification.
Hammond said she loves her life and she loves her groups.
She gives classes twice a week at the Heritage Social Centre in Deux Montagnes and has women and men between the ages of 52 to 90, with the average age between 60 and 70.
Her classes are very popular, especially Tuesdays, when she has between 25 and 30 people there.
"It's so wonderful to see how they improve, especially when people come in thinking they can't do something because of their age, and often they are afraid, but when they see they can do it and that they feel better, well it's very special."
Participants do the exercises at their own pace, using a chair or not, and Hammond modifies things as needed.
Her classes have four components: warmups, cardio, resistance and flexibility and then a cool down.
"I have some who are so excited when they see progress, like moving from five pound weights to eight pounds — it gives them confidence, and they are so happy."
Hammond said she remembers how empowering it was for her when she began to exercise and strength train again.
"I was no longer the sick person, I felt stronger physically and mentally."
And that's something her older adults see from their classes.
"One woman couldn't get up (from) and down to the floor — now she does her own groceries and performs lunges and squats and feels so good about it."
Hammond credits many people with her recovery. "Dr. Marc Giasson saved me," she said with emotion. "He and his team worked very hard to diagnose and treat my condition." And her husband and family have been incredibly supportive.
"I'm very lucky and I know that."
Hammond doesn't stop there. To reward her weekly groups for all their hard work, she plans meals and celebrations for special occasions and holidays.
At Christmas, she prepared an entire turkey dinner and all the fixings for her classes.
"I'm happy to do it, it's nothing, no sweat," she said with a big smile.
"I'm just grateful I can."
I bet you are, Dale, I bet you are.

As more and more children are diagnosed with autism, there's also a lot more research on the disorder. Now, a new guidebook can help Missouri parents and people who work with kids on the autism spectrum sort through it all.
Vicki McCarrell has a college-age son on the autism spectrum.
"It happened, born this way, we love him to death. But what we want to do is we want to find a way to make their lives the best they can be."
McCarrell is also the deputy director of the Division of Developmental Disabilities at the Missouri Department Mental Health. And she is on the oversight committee of the Missouri Autism Guidelines Initiative, the group behind the new guide to evidence-based interventions. She said the manual can help parents who are bombarded with information from all over: magazines, concerned friends, the internet.
"You don't want to waste your time, and you certainly don't want to waste your money on things that are not going to work."
Kim Ratcliffe, with the Missouri School Boards' Association, also helped put the book together.
"We are in a very interesting time, where there is just a wealth of information," she said. "But it's not easy to discern the quality of that information, or sometimes even the source of where that information comes from."
The new guidebook, aimed at both parents and professionals, looks at six recent national reviews of autism research, summarizing the results in charts and diagrams.
"It's not single pieces of research, it is hundreds of pieces of research," said Ratcliffe. "Research-based or evidence-based practices, we know, lead to the most positive outcomes."
John Mantovani is also on the oversight committee. He is a neurologist who chairs the Department of Pediatrics at Mercy Children's Hospital in St. Louis. He said one of the most important aspects of the guide is that it includes multiple perspectives – drawing on educators, medical professionals and psychologists.
That's helpful for physicians, because much of the research included in the book wouldn't otherwise be readily available to physicians.
"For example, the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders is a group which is primarily made up of psychologists and behavioral specialists. So, much of the work they did would be a bit remote from what a practicing physician or even a specialist physician might run across."
But autism research is a moving target – two of the research reviews included are already being updated with new studies.
Kim Ratcliffe said she hopes the guide will inspire further study.
"We know that this is a snapshot in time, but it's a beginning and we hope that there will be much to follow in terms of additional information when there are more reviews completed."
Parents can download the guide online, or order a free copy.

We are in the business of creating leaders by recruiting, training and coaching the best students across Canada. Since 1981, we have created many successful Canadian business leaders while pleasing 100,000's of homeowners with quality interior and exterior painting services, and providing summer employment for students.
Naveli and her crew were on time and took all the precautions necessary to protect plants, equipment etc. They worked safely and efficiently and did an excellent job. We were happy with their work.
We had Nick and his crew in to stain our wrap around porch on our old farm house and I couldn't be happier with the finished product! Nick listened attentively and made specific suggestions according to our needs. The porch was in bad shape and needed a good scrapping, sanding and staining. The crew was polite and respectful and did a fantastic job! I would recommend them in a heartbeat!
To Whom It May Concern: Re: Michael Holley's STUDENT WORKS PAINTING I have just had the interior of one of my properties painted - a total of eight rooms. The work done is really very good - not a drop of paint where it is not supposed to be. Careful attention to trim, cutting in on borders, and producing even coverage. Mike and his team worked very efficiently, and cleaned up so you would not know they were there. Mike is a friendly, organized, and businesslike fellow, whom I strongly recommend…
The team arrived on time on the pre-scheduled date, having previously done a match with the old paint colour. They worked steadily, completing an excellent job earlier than expected. All were careful, friendly and pleasant to have in and around our house.
I found the crew to be very hard working and paid close attention to detail . They scraped and sanded where necessary plus kept a clean work site. They had an excellent work ethic, l would recommend them to anyone.
Ten out of ten!
I highly recommend them - and what an opportunity to help a student with their education! Thanks Student Works!
Ted and his painters worked hard and we appreciate the finished product. The painters where clean and tidy and the work was done on time. Thank - you Ted, job well done.
I hired Jeff at Student Works to paint the exterior of our 2 story house with 46 windows. It looks amazing. Jeff and his crew were on time and very professional. We enjoyed having them on the property, very personable. All in all a great experience, will hire them back next year for some interior work.

text: Complex white collar criminal cases increasingly require counsel to investigate and understand facts in many different industries, engage in considerable pretrial practice, and prepare for lengthy trials. Most lawyers cannot do this alone. Lawyers are not experts in every industry, nor can they get ready for every part of trial without outside assistance. For instance, a white collar defense lawyer will be able to conduct internal corporate investigations but probably cannot personally trace funds through overseas banks in complex international financial transactions. A public defender will know how to build a legal argument to exclude evidence obtained illegally but will not be qualified to investigate the background of the police officers who conducted the search. Defense counsel can strategize about the testimony from former employees that would strengthen his case, but counsel will need help finding witnesses located overseas or even cross-country.

FUCK! i've written three different sentences before this one and I can't find out how to start this.

I woke up from my nap. crying. I looked at the bed next to mine and wondered if things would ever be the same. Everything I do lately reminds me of her.
I cant drive in the car without thinking "when is the next time we're going to drive around the island?" I miss those nights when she drove me around, I drove her around and we just had each others company. It was one of those things I loved about our friendship. But you know what changed that? She invited Andrew to come with us one night. I fucking hated every moment of it. Driving around the island was our thing, or at least to me it was... I know they've gone around the island together and it just hurts knowing that. What I once held special to my heart is being ripped away.
I saw this random couple being cute together today at school and then the guy hugged his girl from behind. I wanted to cry. I miss doing that with Sasha. I used to hold her from behind at any moment and now? I'm trying to hold myself from falling apart.
Just every little thing is getting to me.
The songs I have, the places I go to, the food I eat and the memories I have. It all hurts.
I want another rejection. I want her to tell me to get the fuck out of her life and I will... the thing though... If she tells me to stay... I will.
Not because I'm wrapped around her finger like some people have been saying, but because I valued the little things that made up our friendship. I miss her as my friend. I miss her.

"Is she really your best friend or the girl that you've loved for the past three years?"
I honestly couldn't answer this question. I couldnt answer the question why I loved her as a person and why she was my best friend.
When I got home all I could think about the memories that we shared together and honestly? It's more of the person I've loved for the past three years rather than my best friend.
what moment made her my best friend? It was the day my grandma had passed away. She was there to comfort me even though we had just met a couple months before. Just that one moment has made me stay her friend over all these years.
I've been through so much drama because of her and I have even lost some friends. At the time she was worth it, it was just a no brainer for me. This girl was my best friend and I was in love with her.
I loved the way she would hold me from behind, and I loved doing the same for her. I love how we act like creepers together. I loved that she understood that driving around or being driven around makes me feel better. I love the way we eat at RaiRai's. I love how cute she can be, her weirdness and her sense of humor.
I guess most of what I just listed were things as a lover and not a best friend. I have never not liked this girl. She has always been in the back of my mind in all of my relationships over the years. Heck I fucked up a relationship because I still had feelings for her.
Ive never gotten to know her as a friend I guess?
I have the hardest time telling her how I sometimes. I want to ask her "What do I mean to you" that's all I want to know.
I do still lover her but I will move on and forget about her. What she did to me as a lover I will never forgive her for.
As a best friend? as the girl who was there for me when the most important person in my life passed away? I should drop her out of my life.
Its just fucking hard. Having her there every day of my life to not being around at all? its like a piece of myself is going to be missing.
My family calls her my other half and its true. We've always been together and now we're not. Soon they're going to ask what happened and I will say shes not my best friend anymore.
She's not the girl I should love and she lost me as her best friend...
I've come to that conclusion but will I keep it? probably not.
I know in the back of my mind that when she does fall I will be there to pick her up.
The past me will show up, pick her up and leave.

I honestly do miss her, but more than anything I miss my old group of friends. I miss how close we all used to be. I miss seeing all of them everyday and us not doing anything.
I miss them playing magic while I did homework. They made me feel safe and not alone. They arent the best of friends but they were there.
I know that she is partially the reason why we all dont hang out together anymore. I know everything that shes done, I've been through everything shes done and I should have walked away a long time ago.
She doesnt care if I disappear. She doesn't care that I'm hurting so much. She doesn't trust me.
I care if I disappear. I dont want to hurt this much. I dont trust her anymore?
I still love her.
what annoys me the most. Is that I fucking trust her with everything, but I dont tell her how I felt because I know shes going through worse shit than I am. I would always be there for her but I never wanted her to be there for me because I felt that she couldnt handle it. I want her to get better and not have to worry about me. I always tried to put her first.
When I was with Kelsie I couldnt stop thinking about Sasha. It wasnt fair to Kelsie. So i broke my relationship with Sasha and you know what? she didnt care. She didnt try to ask what was wrong. She just let things disappear. This whole thing was always a one way thing wasnt it? I called her one of my best friends, but did she ever do the same for me? Probably not.
I know in my heart what she means to me. I want her to be my friend, I want her to be a legit best friend and I want people to KNOW that we are each others best friend.
I want her to fight for me. I want her to realize what shes missing. I want her to reach rock bottom and realize that I will be there to fucking pick her back up. I wont kick her when shes down. I wont judge. I'll do what I usually do.
I'll be there.
She knows everything about me. If she needs me she knows where to find me.
I wont do the fighting anymore. I am a person who knows what shes worth. If she cant see it then fuck it.

I cared about her, as a person I could love, as a person and as my best friend, but now? I really don't give a fuck. As a best friend she shouldn't have led me on like she did for a whole month, there was no reason for them to hold back anything from me. If they had both just told me i wouldnt be hurting this much, I wouldn't have spent an entire month asking for advice to see if it was worth it to tell her how I feel. If they had just told me I wouldnt be crying so much, I would hurt less, I would have more hours of sleep and honestly I would have two more friends on my list of friends. \
We were suppose to have a talk today just us for three hours. We didnt do that. I needed the talk. I needed to ask her again as to why she did that to me. What am i to her? Why do you put yourself in these situations? Are you trying to push me away? Are you really engaged to him already? Do you still trust me? Did you ever trust me?
I called her my best friend but maybe the whole thing was one sided. She never trusted to tell me anything about her life. If that one time she did it was to just scare me away. I'm so mad at her right now. And I know that after all shes done to me I should drop her from my life. Save me the pain, the drama and the time, but I cant. I used to call her my best friend for a reason. I still remember those reasons. But they sound more like a reason as to why I liked her.
When she rejected me she didnt reject me as her best friend. She rejected me as another option.
I'm tired of all of this.
just tired.

So all the past couple of posts of my personal life anywhere make me look like a fucking fool. They've been going out for a month now. She let me confess to her and said nothing about him. Nothing. I am so mad right now. Is it so hard for her to tell me how she feels? Is it so hard to reject me? I understand she used to like me too and doesnt want me as a girlfriend because she doesnt want to lose my friendship. But honestly her hiding this shit from me makes me want to break off this friendship. What kind of best friend does this shit? I talked to her and him a combined total of five times saying I liked her and that I would want to try something. They still didnt tell me they were together. I feel like a fucking idiot. I saw the signs that they liked each other but I never really thought they were going out yet. If they had just told me I would have backed off. I always back off whenever she is in a romantic relationship with anyone.
It would have been easier to move on. I wouldnt have told her how I felt. I should have kept my feelings in. I should have never had told her. All those nights I spent wondering how she feels about me. All those days asking friends for advice on what I should do. pointless. There was no way I could have saved myself.
I want to trust her. I want her to still be my best friend. I want her to be part of my life. But I finally, after three years of loving her got my rejection. Three years of falling in love with this girl and now I have to drop my feelings. I will move on. I will find someone else who will return my feelings. I will find a way to trust her again. I will find a way to be happy for her and be happy myself.
Thats all I've ever wanted for her. I guess after three years of holding back thats what I was worried about the most. Will I be able to make her happy?
She chose someone else to make her happy. It was her decision and I will respect it.
I'll hold back on the constant texts that we always used to have. I will miss holding her from behind the most. Miss loving her. I have to stop dreaming of us ever having something. I have to stop loving her.

Actress Vanessa Hudgens disguised herself with a blond wig for a night on the town with fellow screen star Ashley Benson – and was amazed when the eye-catching hair color made other girls jealous.
The brunette beauty was in Miami last year shooting scenes for the new movie "Spring Breakers," in which she plays racy blond student Candy, when she decided to head to a bar with her co-star while still in character.
The actress went incognito by keeping on the wig, which hid her trademark dark locks, but she realized life as a blond woman was tough when she noticed other females at the venue eyeballing her.
Hudgens tells British magazine Radar, "Me and Ashley went out to a bar once and I had the blond wig on. I felt like so many girls hated us – instantly. So, if anything, being blond brought on more hate. I wouldn't be in a rush to try it again."

PM asks Pak to reciprocate India"s efforts for friendship
Jaipur: Asserting that the recent beheading of the Indian soldier along LoC has cast a "negative impact" on bilateral ties, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today asked Pakistan to reciprocate India's efforts for friendship with it.
"We take a consistent review of our ties with Pakistan.
The incident has cast a negative impact on our ties. We will take steps with care and due consideration," he said addressing a meeting of AICC here.
"We want friendship with Pakistan. They should also make efforts in this regard. It is not possible only with our efforts," the Prime Minister said.

This is an article from MSNBC -- I thought I'd share it here.
I've had a workplace bully before -- I didn't know 41% suffered from workplace bullies
By Stephanie Pappas
updated 1/12/2012 1:15:33 PM ET
If you spend your workday avoiding an abusive boss, tiptoeing around co-workers who talk behind your back, or eating lunch alone because you've been ostracized from your cubicle mates, you may be the victim of workplace bullying. New research suggests that you're not alone, especially if you're struggling to cope.
Employees with abusive bosses often deal with the situation in ways that inadvertently make them feel worse, according to a new study published in the International Journal of Stress Management. That's bad news, as research suggests that workplace abuse is linked to stress — and stress is linked to a laundry list of mental and physical ailments, including higher body weight and heart disease.
In at least one extreme case, workplace bullying has even been linked to suicide, much as schoolyard bullying has been linked to a rash of suicides among young people.
Bullying is "a form of abuse which carries tremendous health harm," said Gary Namie, a social psychologist who directs the Workplace Bullying Institute. "That's how you distinguish it from tough management or any of the other cutesy ways people use to diminish it."
About 13 to 14 percent of Americans work under an abusive supervisor, Yagil said. Her study on Israeli workers found that abused employees tend to cope by avoiding their bosses, seeking support from co-workers and trying to reassure themselves. As useful as those strategies might sound, however, they actually made employees feel worse. [7 Thoughts That Are Bad For You]
"It is understandable that employees wish to reduce the amount of their contact with an abusive boss to the minimum, but the strategies they use actually further increase their stress instead of reducing it," Yagil said. "This may happen because these strategies are associated with a sense of weakness and perpetuate the employee's fear of the supervisor."
the best estimate puts the number at about 41 percent of American workers having been psychologically harassed at work at some point.

I imagine that those of us with Autism/Aspergers are also very likely often targets of bullying/abusive bosses. I know that's been the case in my life.
I probably only managed to avoid bullying in High School because I was part of a sizable peer group (NJROTC) that looked out for each other on a daily basis. Band did the same thing, though Band also had worse hazing rites-of-passage to endure before one was "accepted" into the fold, as it were. NJROTC took you "as is" and as long as you did your bit to wear the uniform correctly and put on a good front as a good representative of the organization, you could count on people having your back, as it were.
That's good that you had a support group looking out for each other.
I remember a boss I had that was just a huge huge bully. He wanted us to sell promotional candy at the theatre at double the amount home office wanted us to. We were supposed to push, push, push this candy. Some of my girls who are really good cashiers and work hard weren't so great at pushing candy which people weren't interested in. He finally forced me to pick one of the cashiers to be fired, which I was not happy with at all. He told me, either one of them goes, or I go. And I was so close to just walking out. I wish I had... I would have been re-hired later, I'm sure. It broke my heart to let any of those hard-working kids go. Come to find out, after, he'd been using other tactics to make the theatre look more legit and perfect to home office than it was...
The LiveScience link on how to deal with workplace bullying is worth reading. When I was in the middle of it, I did not have the time or clear thought process to follow instructions such as these, but fortunately I followed some of them, and it helped.
Thank you Sentient .. I will check that out.

Threats to the environment such as climate change, the scramble for water, and deforestation have created an urgent need for new ways of tackling these pressing issues which cater for all types of inhabitants.
In northern Kenya, an innovative programme steered by the African Union and partnered by IUCN's East Africa Regional Office, aims to do just this. Known as the Dryland, Livestock/Wildlife Environment Interface Project (DLWEIP), the programme brings together all the stakeholders – community, government, donors, implementers – in a bid to manage natural resources equitably.
Changing lifestyles in northern Kenya, as more and more pastoralists opt for sedentary livelihoods, are causing severe environmental degradation and upsetting the ecosystem. Human encroachment on wildlife areas increases the threat of diseases and parasites, as well as competition for already-scarce water resources. Ongoing local conflicts and cattle rustling contribute to the uncertain dynamic in these remote areas.
In an attempt to stop further degeneration, the community-driven project has focused on three community-conserved areas - Kalama, Namunyak and Naibunga - inhabited by the Samburu and Masai ethnic groups. Known as conservancies, these areas pool together resources and ideas to protect the biodiversity of the environment for the benefit of all its users. If successful, it is hoped these three pilot projects will be replicated to cover other areas of arid northern Kenya.
"This project is very participatory," points out Prof Laurent Ntahuga, IUCN's regional technical coordinator for biodiversity and species. "We are assisting the communities to interact positively with the wildlife and manage their natural resources. Now they understand there is a way to reduce the conflicts between humans and wildlife, and livestock and wildlife."
All of which leads to poverty alleviation, a major goal of the project. There have already been increases in the number of wild animals, which in turn encourages the development of ecotourism. A luxury tourist lodge has been constructed within Naibunga conservancy, cementing the collaboration between private business and the communities. Twenty percent of the gains go to the community. Other income-generating activities include honey harvesting and the sale of medicinal plant products.
But the major earner is of course livestock. Through the project, the communities have realised that "less is more". They want to boost the quality of their animals, not the numbers. Fatter, better milk-producing livestock yield more returns than lots of scrawny animals. The project enables community members to voice their need for improved infrastructure and therefore better access to markets, as well as for mobile banks so that they don't keep all their money at home.
By the end of the project, says Prof Ntahuga, it is hoped that the communities will be able to support themselves at many levels. Better management of natural resources, coupled with more efficient livestock production and marketing will raise incomes and reduce environmental destruction.

Points of Interest
- In 2006 Jeremy ended the seven-year foreign domination of the US National Mountain Bike Series by seizing victory from the invaders.
- Unlike most professional racers, Jeremy plans out not how much time he'll spend away from his wife, Heather Irmiger, each season but rather which races they'll go to together. Heather also races professionally and on the same team as her husband.
- Jeremy has chosen mountain bike racing as a career despite his high honors and distinctions as an academic in mathematics.
PersonalJeremy Horgan-Kobelski began mountain bike racing as a 14-year-old junior in 1992 and has become one of the most enduring professionals in this somewhat volatile sport. When he was in the eighth grade, his school offered a one-week "interim" where everyone participated in a different activity for a week. There was everything from backpacking, to theater, construction projects, or one year - mountain biking. Perhaps what started out as just a checkmark on a school permission slip changed Jeremy's life forever.
He has since raced in more than 30 countries, won 14 national mountain bike championships, stood on multiple World Cup and international podiums, and represented the US at the 2004 Olympics.
Probably one of Jeremy's most lasting qualities is his tenacity, both on and off the bike. As a student at the University of Colorado, he graduated with high honors and a degree in Applied Mathematics. He won the College of Engineering's Undergraduate Research award, which he was unable to accept in person since he was racing in Europe. He is currently the vice-president of the NORBA board of trustees, as well as the athlete representative to the USAC board of directors. His role with USAC is to lend the athlete's viewpoint to policy discussions about racing and growing the sport in the United States. Specific things he has been working on as an athlete rep have been to elevate the quality of National Calendar races in the U.S. as well as create a more sustainable model in the long term for domestic mountain bike events.
He writes a column for the national cycling magazine VeloNews and its sister website, singletrack.com about his travels and racing. In his brief time off-the-bike each year he channels his creative energy and passion for architecture into a new project: www.Studio-Shed.com. He is an avid backcountry skier, and ventures off into Colorado's high mountains when the snow is too deep to ride in. Jeremy has acquired a love for good food and wine in his world travels, and cooking continues to be a favorite recreational pastime. He tends toward Mediterranean cuisine but is often inspired to cook a wide variety of dishes when at home. He has a distinct passion for anything two-wheeled and, in addition to about a dozen bikes, he owns three motorcycles: a Ducati Hypermotard, a Ducati Elefant, and a Honda 250 dirt bike. He wishes he could ride these more, but gets out just enough to justify all three of them taking up space at his house in Boulder.Date of Birth: August 8, 1978

Pennsylvania doctor accused in OxyContin ring
CORAOPOLIS, Pa. - An emergency room doctor was the central figure in a large OxyContin ring, writing hundreds of fraudulent prescriptions and charging up to $2,000 for each one, authorities said Thursday. [...]
Authorities were tipped to the ring after nurses at Aliquippa Community Hospital got suspicious when patients would come to the emergency room asking for treatment, but would leave if Dr. Alan Egleston wasn't working, the indictment says.
At our ED, we have a serious drug-seeking problem, with Oxys being the current drug of choice. We have some docs who are well known as "candymen" and some who are onsidered "Hardliners." I am definitely among the latter group. Many of the frequent flyers will come and leave if a doc they recognize as a hardliner is working. I've not before heard of an ER doc who aided and abetted the seekers. It's kind of bizarre, really. There's a tension between drug-seekers and ER docs such that it's almost like a betrayal, like he's gone over to the enemy. But it's even more bizarre that a doctor, who spent years training and building a career, and who makes pretty good money working in an ER, would cross over the line into such illegal behavior. How does that happen? Weird.
