Bacterial Vaginosis--or--embarrassing bad smell |

I did research on what the doctor prescribed Shansan77. It is all the same med's that we have all taken, just fancier names. Like for example, Fasigyn is Tindazole, the stuff I had to order online, gave me horrible headaches and can cause Seizures. And it's the 4 pills, once. Took B.V. away every other time I used it.VIBRATAB is a STRONG antibiotic used mostly for Acne. Causes severe side effects. Again, take the antibiotic if that is what you want to do, but if you do not use preventative maintenance, you will be in the same "Fishing" boat as all of us. My first time having b.v., it went away and stayed away for 5 or 6 yrs. Now, it's a never ending battle.

surfgirl...we have all had COUNTLESS prescriptions. BV comes back regardless. I hope yours will not, but it has not been the case for the ladies on this board.

I have some sort of idea what caused my BV, but am not 100% sure. About 1 year ago I had just been through a year of unprotected sex with my boyfriend when we noticed a cottage cheese like discharge when he pulled out. I'm not sure it was the sex that did it, because it took a year for this symptom to even show itself.
A few days after we noticed the discharge, I started itching and drying out. It was SO irritating, but I thought it would go away on its own. WRONG. A few months later the itch was gone, but the discharge was still rearing its ugly head, so I treated myself with a yeast infection and took Monistat, which of course did absolutely nothing but cause annoyance at the goop constantly coming out of me. A few months later the cottage cheesy discharge turned watery and accompanied a smell that could wake the dead. That was when I said enough is enough. I can deal with a little discharge, but that smell wasnt something i'd even wish upon an enemy. I went to the gynecologist who tested me for yeast. negative. STDs. also negative. So she said "it must be BV" and gave me a prescription for metro-gel vaginal. The odor cleared up that same day and the discharge is gone. I just finished my last treatment 2 days ago and suffer from a little bit of itching and dryness and some "wet tissue paper" like discharge/residue. I was a little freaked about this but found a forum dedicated to women who found this discharge and turns out its a very common thing with metro-gel. So now I wait and see, but so far so good. Ladies I HIGHLY suggest you just go see your doctor and let them fill in a prescription for you. I wish I had done it MONTHS ago and saved myself a lot of embarassment. |

I dont know exactly what pills those are but in almost every study, treating your partner does not make a difference...it didn't in my case. Also, I have taken a diflucan through my anti-biotic use and that too did nothing.
What are those pills you were prescribed? |

Hey all. I have suffered from BV for the past 15 months straight. I was treated with Metro gel, Metro pills,douches,and some other stuff. Anyway, all of my doctors in the US said that they wouldn't treat my boyfriend, even though I had been having the problem ever since we started having sex.
So, I moved to Europe,and my first appointment with my gyno was my last. This is what she prescribed me: VIBRATAB: 2 THE FIRST MORNING, 1 IN THE EVENING FOR THE NEXT 8 DAYS THEN AFTER THOSE ARE FINISHED, in the same day take: DIFLUCAN 1 GEL MORNING FASIGYN 4 GEL IN EVENING Both my boyfriend and I took the entire cycle. We continued having sex as normal, and I have been without symptoms for well over a month. I have had BV CONSTANTLY for over a year. So, my immediate thought is that the difference is that he was treated. Also, the follow up pills (Diflucan) prevent you from getting a yeast infection. Let me know what you think. * The only thing I have changed is I went off the pill, and we use condoms now, but we have had unprotected sex too.. so I don't know if that's relevent or not to the BV. |

Am I the only one here whose BV can come back without even having sex? I have been single before during treatment and it still comes back in like a week. That's why using something before and after sex only doesn't work for me. I'm not sure why I'm like that though.
Ugh, and to make matters worse...I have an ear infection and am taking antibiotics for that now. |

Hi Scared I actually have used the clindesse before, three times. It just really is hard when I can't get to the preventative maintenance because I can't get rid of the BV in the first place. Right now I'm on my third day of douching with the baking soda. It is going really well. The BV seems to be gone, although it could be becase I'm washing the discharge (which is the irritant) out once a day. My gyno (after she heard the metrogel did not work) told me instead of douching once every three days for 5 times, to do it once a day for five days. I bought a douche at the store and make it myself every night. Just a teaspoon of baking soda and a glass of room temp water. I don't agree with douching either, but I've read from lots of natural medicine websites that if it's advised by a doctor and made with natural ingredients, it's not always a bad thing. I'll keep you all posted on how it works! Chin up everyone..

Hi girls
Piper Ask your GYN to give you Clindessse another treatment for BV Metro gel doen not work for everyone. I don't reccomend douching but if you do follow bellow you can find what to do this help with all infcetion even BV. 1.Eat yogurt. Buy the kind with the least amount of additives and make sure it has active cultures. Not only will it help your current infection, but studies show that eating yogurt regularly may help stave off infection in the first place. 2.Take acidophilus. Use as directed on the label and take on an empty stomach. It will help restore normal bacterial flora and control yeast growth. 3.Decrease or eliminate sugar. Avoid sweets of all kinds, including fruits, refined carbohydrates and sugary foods. Yeast feeds on sugar, so you want to cut off its food supply. 4.Decrease or eliminate alcohol, all fermented products, mushrooms, yeast and yeast-containing foods. This is to keep any more fungi from entering your system. 5.Use garlic as a suppository. Peel a garlic clove, wrap it in sterile gauze, lubricate it with vegetable oil and insert it into the vagina. Leave a piece of the gauze sticking out so you can locate it easily. Change the suppository every 12 hours. Garlic has powerful anti-fungal properties. 6. Make your own douches. Use herbs such as calendula, goldenseal, marshmallow root or yarrow. Make a strong tea using one or more of these herbs. Douche twice daily for a week. 7.Apply a tea-tree-oil cream to irritated and inflamed areas. It's effective against fungal infections, herpes blisters and other types of infection. 8.Use garlic juice and acidophilus as a douche. Mix two capsules of garlic or fresh garlic juice with a quart of warm water and use as a douche. Alternate with an acidophilus douche made by mixing two capsules of acidophilus in a quart of warm water. 9. Bathe with vinegar to relieve symptoms. Fill the tub about hip deep with warm water and add 1/2 c. vinegar. Soak with legs apart until water cools. 10. Take vitamin C. This will help build up your immune system. 11. Use garlic capsules to fight the infection, or try colloidal silver. It has antibiotic properties that reduce inflammation and promote healing. 12. Take biotin. It helps inhibit the growth of yeast. Read this Treatment for BV infection usually involves a seven-day course of the antibiotic metronidazole (Flagyl™). This drug is not recommended for use in the first trimester of pregnancy because no human studies have proven its safety. Side effects can include nausea, decreased appetite, and a metallic taste in the mouth. Treatment clears up most cases of BV infections, but the disease can recur in up to 80% of women within nine months. One reason for the high recurrence rate may be the failure of the protective bacteria to become reestablished in the vagina. Vitamin C applied vaginally has the ability to increase the acidity of the vagina, potentially inhibiting the growth of bacteria associated with BV. The new study investigated the effect of intravaginal administration of vitamin C in 91 women with BV. The women were assigned to receive either a placebo or 250 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) per day for six days. The participants were instructed to insert one tablet vaginally each night before bed. The presence of BV and related symptoms was assessed at the beginning of the study, and one and two weeks after the treatment was discontinued. One week after treatment, BV infections had resolved in significantly more women who received vitamin C than in those women who took the placebo. Fishy odor and the numbers of harmful bacteria and bacteria-laden cells decreased significantly in the group receiving vitamin C compared with the placebo group. Lactobacillus concentrations increased significantly after treatment with vitamin C, indicating a positive change in the flora of the vagina. In addition, significantly more women in the vitamin C group than in the placebo group had an increase in vaginal acidity, indicating that vitamin C produced an environment less suitable for the growth of harmful bacteria. There were no significant differences between groups with respect to vaginal itching and discharge. The vitamin C used in this study was a time-release formulation designed to provide extended contact of the vitamin with the vaginal tissue and to reduce irritation. Vitamin C treatment was generally well tolerated; two cases of yeast infections were the only adverse events reported. Buffered forms of vitamin C would not have the same effect as the acidic form used in this study. In addition, many vitamin C preparations contain binders and fillers that may render the product unsuitable for intravaginal use. Consulting with a healthcare professional trained in nutritional medicine is advisable before starting treatment. Intravaginal vitamin C should be considered for the treatment of BV, especially in pregnant women who may not be able to safely take a prescription medication. Pregnant women should always consult with a medical professional before taking any medications or supplements. |

neverending: I found it at the grocery store in the health food section. We both use it before we do oral. I only use it if I do oral and we are going to have sex right after. You may be able to buy it online also

I did a search for Metro-gel a few weeks ago cuz I didn't want to go back to the doctor. I didn't find anything. If anyone finds a place you can get it from please let me know.

Hardcore BUSTie Posts: 424 |
quietmadness, just do a search, and you'll find it. All though, if you used the Metro-gel the last 3 times, you might want to switch it up to something else. Remember, try to figure out what it is that's triggering it, and do some preventative maintenance!! TTO is great, not a cure, just helpfull!
Apr 24 2006, 08:09 PM
Hardcore BUSTie Posts: 227 From: Somewhere in time |
This shit just sucks! I've got that damnable slick discharge, and the odor. WTF?!? Does anyone know of any web sites where I can order Metro gel WITHOUT a prescription? I feel like my doctor's starting to look at me like a freak of nature...I've been 3 times in the past 6 weeks! I'm not just tired of the co-pays, I'm tired of the whole cyclical nightmare. If anyone could PLEASE help me out with a link, or whatever, I'm sure the Goddess(es) would smile greatly upon thee... Going for the TTO next... |

Neverending: I first got B.V. when I was married to my ex husband, about 9yrs ago. I was about 26. The anitbiotics took it right away, and I never had it again until my hysterectomy which was about 4yrs ago. 6 months after surgery, and a new boyfriend, I've had it ever since. On and off. It wasn't like now though at first, I'd get it, then it would go away for a few months, then it would come back, I'd take antibiotics, then gone for a few months. Around August of this last year, it's been coming back more frequently. So, who the heck knows. Also, I also had Cerivical Displasia years and years ago, but the froze off the bad cells. Now, I don't own any of those lovely women organs, just my ovaries. Maybe my ovaries shriveled up and died and that's why I have this smell??? hahaha, oh well. The preventative is what's working for me now, oh, and TTO mouthwash before the itty bitty fish heads come near the kitty.

Hey alwaysonmymind, you probably already know this but having HPV is different from just Cervical Displaysia. The latter is an overgrowth of abnormal cells on your cervix which can be removed but HPV is going always be around. It's also considered a STD (previously called genital warts) so you should be using condoms regardless of getting bv or not.

Selection Guide
Koss Porta Pro
We've long been a gigantic fan of these little open-back 'earpad' (on-ear) style headphones for listeners wanting a compact, good-sounding upgrade for portable and mobile use. The sound remains simply unmatched at this price and the Porta Pro conveniently fold into a compact and sturdy little bundle for storage or transport. HeadRoom is a true Koss-authorized dealer so your purchase comes complete with their outstanding 100% manufacturer's lifetime warranty!
Product Features:
- Likely the best sound quality in category at this price!
- Open-back earpieces lets you remain aware of your surroundings.
- Excellent choice for gym, jogging and active-use
- Conveniently rolls up & clips into small bundle for transport & storage
- Killer Koss LIFETIME manufacturer's warranty
What's In The Box:
- 1/4" stereo plug adaptor
These could just still be our favorite '$50-and-under' headphone. The Koss Porta-Pro are a killer-sounding portable headphone at a very strong price. Matter of fact, picky headphone afficionados universally declare the Koss can actually sound better than some mobile headphone designs costing twice the price. If you have an iPod, iPad, MP3 player, laptop/PC computer, tabletop radio, portable CD/DVD/MiniDisc player, WalkMan or other portable audio device, these little cans will perform wonderfully for all music genres. The Porta-Pro likely remain amongst the clearest-sounding & best musically detailed mobile headphones suitable for all your portable audio needs. Moreover, that sweet Koss manufacturer's lifetime warranty sure doesn't hurt any; If you accidentally break 'em or if the speaker drivers decide head south in a few years, Koss will repair or replace the headphones as long as you keep the original 'Koss authorized dealer' receipt -- like the one you'll get from HeadRoom!
The long-running Koss Porta-Pro product design is pretty unique in the category: Two small pads on the sides of the Porta-Pro headband allow the headphones to rest simultaneously on your ears and cushion on the sides of the head, giving these headphones an extremely secure feel in active applications like during heavy exercise or gym work. The earpieces collapse inward and the headband ingeniously curls up to clip at each end, allowing the cans to fold down quite small for storage or travel. The Porta-Pro's 'Y'-type cord is connected at each earpiece by a short straight-type 4.5ft cable and the cord terminates to a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-plug jack. A full-size 1/4" plug adapter is handily included in the Koss package. Lifetime Koss warranty -- oooh, yeah!

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Design, Price, Warranty, Fun
Cons: Bass-Heavy Sound, Style
The osund is much more bass-heavy than the KSC-75's. I'm still tinkering with my player's EQ to dial them in, though. I have burned them in before using them, so I think that once I create a good EQ preset, I'll be looking forward to a long life with the PP's. With a lifetime warranty, I can be patient with dialing them in. If only Sennheiser did that...

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: comfortable, good sound, great value
Cons: none to speak of
First pair is still going strong after 7 or 8 years, with a replacement set of pads, and I bought a second pair so I'd have one handy at work and one at home.

Posted by William from Kansas on 2012-05-11
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Build quality, lifetime warranty, surprisingly powerful bass, value, efficiency
Cons: Listening fatigue, a little uncomfortable, bass muddles mids
They are fun to listen to, but fatigue my ears after a while because of the loud bass hump at around 100 hz. The louder bass also gives the illusion that the mids are a little muffled.
I also think that because of the headband design pressing the drivers down onto your ears, you miss a little mid and high clarity. When I hold the drivers off my ears a little bit, they sound a lot more like the KSC-75s. This particular headband design helps accentuate bass more than anything.
I would be very happy if Koss made something in between the Porta-Pros and the KSC-75s bass wise, and with a looser headband design.

County splits with Elzy
GREENWOOD – Jessica Ward scored 22 points as Yazoo County snapped a two game skid Thursday night with a 57-44 win over Amanda Elzy to close out the regular season.
The Lady Panthers (14-12) bounced back from an overtime loss to Greenwood two nights before and finished with a solid 7-3 record in 4A Region play.
Yazoo County had a five point lead after the opening quarter before the winless Lady Panthers of Amanda Elzy bounced back in the second quarter scoring a game high 15 points. Yazoo County were still ahead at the break.

This isn't just about a high school dance, it's about a larger political and cultural symbol.
trans issues
Of course California would wait until the minute I've left the state for the opposite side of the country to pass a recordbreaking law and get it officially signed by the Governor.
friends and lovers
It makes me want to tear up and make some cliché comment about how love is love, etc etc.
I don't have the time to waste on hit pieces targeting me and my identity.
teen pregnancy
What would a comprehensive, inclusive, radical teen pregnancy awareness, education, and discussion campaign actually look like?
On "Catfish," I saw a cute love story. The hosts saw a freak show and let their millions of viewers know it.
the frisky
I am a dude who is straight and cisgender (that is, someone whose gender identity matches their biology) and who seems to have no stake in this fight. Here's why I take transgender issues personally.
trans issues
One day I was called to a meeting with my manager and the company's human resources director. They were very concerned; rumors had been going around that I was transsexual (which was true, though I had not said so to anyone I worked with).
trans issues
There are reasons many transgender people live in stealth and choose not to undergo transition at work, and cases like this highlight one facet of the dangers facing members of the trans community.
sex work
It's frustrating that the biggest days for our respective communities are really depressing.
Joe is doing the right thing, and he's getting on the right side of history here. By coming out publicly in support of trans rights, he's sending a clear message, just as he did when he supported same-sex marriage.
trans issues
Given the rising number of discussions about bullying and how to fight it in schools, it's particularly shameful that the people at fault for the bullying of transgender students in elementary school are often adults.
progressive ad campaigns
New D.C. ads show trans residents living perfectly normal lives. But should they be more radical in their messaging?
Have you ever said something sort of dumb and immature on the internet?
Calling a transgender woman a man on a nationally televised show reinforces some very dangerous attitudes about trans women.
In 2006, Mitt Romney's administration refused to publish a Department of Public Health report on bullying -- because it mentioned "bisexual" and "transgender" people.
Potty parity is a practical concern par excellence. It's a final frontier, the porcelain ceiling, if you will.
trans issues
Lorena Escalera's life as a performer and model was cut short, and the Times decided to mark that by sensationalising and exploiting her death.
are people really objecting on these terms whut?
You cannot freeze a band in amber. Well, you could try. But they'd probably be very sticky and not make many more albums. Because it's hard to make an album when you are frozen in tree sap.
While my co-workers and I can have a dialogue about my identity and what I experience, I don't have time to take on the burden of educating each person that offends me throughout the day.
Comments = xoJane oxygen.

They ignored her. They not only didn't hear her, they seemed unaware she existed.
"I know why they are doing it," I said. "They are in flow."
"Flow? That sounds way too California New Age for me," she scoffed, cursing computers in general. "It wasn't like this when I was a kid."
Actually, for me it was exactly the same when I was my sons' age, but without the computer. When I came home from high school in the late 1960s, I'd get on 20 meters and run stations contest style with my drifty, barefoot Eico 753. There was a window when all the Europeans were turning on their rigs after dinner, but North Americans hadn't come home from work yet. I found that "NAME HR IS BROOKE BROOKE" was as boring for me to send as it was for the other op to copy. But if I handed out honest signal reports at 30 WPM, I could generate a pileup from operators who, like me, couldn't care less about names, because call signs were way cooler. We only wanted to know how loud we were, and if we could beat the other guy.
I always knew I was addicted to contesting, but only recently, after I began studying game design, did I learn why. It all has to do with flow. Mastering flow is the secret to mastering everything, because flow is all about mastery. Flow is the most addictive, non-chemically induced mental state known to man. Game designers know all about keeping you in flow, and they are so good at it that their industry considers flow addiction a major ethical issue.
What's Flow?
Wikipedia says, "Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the processof the activity." Yup, that's it. Sunday morning, the sun comes up, 20 opens, and the 10 minute rate meter tops 180. It doesn't matter that you have the flu and your haven't slept in two days. Life is good.
How do you get into flow? According to Wikipedia, you can't force yourself to enter flow. It just happens. You can enter a flow state while engaged in any activity, although, the online reference concludes, "it is most likely to occur when one is whole-heartedly performing a task or activity for intrinsic purposes."
By definition games such as radio contests might look like a lot of work, but they are played only for intrinsic purposes. If it isn't fun, it isn't a game. The playwright/composer/actor Noel Coward understood this, because he loved writing. As he once put it, "It is funny how work is more fun than fun."
Even though my wife has a ham license (she's N2GSG), radio contests look too much like work to her. But she is a writer and, like Coward, she's spent plenty of time in flow. She is just unfamiliar with the word.
Game designers know that to get into a flow state you must be engaged in an activity where your skill and challenge are matched. If the challenge is too easy, you become bored; if it is too hard, you become stressed. The region where challenge and skill meet is call the "flow channel," and good games keep you "in the zone" nearly all the time. As you begin to master a skill, rather than let you get bored, you are presented with a "level-up" in the form of greater challenges.
Some stress is good, but if there is too much, you will quit, so the ideal level-up puts you in a region called "eustress" - just beyond your current skill level, but where mastery is in sight and you feel energized, but not threatened.
I'll start the CQ World Wide CW on 20 meters, because I haven't sent code in 6 months and need to go easy before I level up to the bedlam on 40. Eventually, I feel in control and then can relax into S&Ping on 80 and 160. By the wee hours, though, I'm getting bored. Then the sun comes up, and I have to be everywhere at once, and that is one level-up after another - and just in the nick of time, or you'd find me asleep at the desk. Later in the day the risk is that I'll feel too comfortable on a well-defended run frequency, and I won't push myself to change bands as often as I should.

Multi-use Rail Trails
With the increasing number of multi-use rail trails across Maine, you never know who, or what, you'll meet. Trails aren't just for hikers anymore. Maine rail trails are as varied as the terrain they cover.
Mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, ATV riding, and cross-country skiing are among the activities designated for the Aroostook Valley Trail. This 72-mile Maine rail trail is mostly in remote wilderness, promising a genuine backcountry experience.
Offering different perspectives on the same region are the Kennebec Valley Trail, which stretches 14 miles along the banks of the Kennebec River, and the St. John Valley Trail, which is 18 miles of rolling hills and farmland that also follows the St. John River for several miles.
Houlton-Phair Junction Trail extends 40 miles north from Houlton. In addition to outdoor enthusiasts, you're also likely to encounter logging trucks and other motorized vehicles there.
Looking for a new route to walk, run, or bicycle? Check out the latest addition to Maine's rail trails: the Downeast Sunrise Trail. A former railroad bed from Whitneyville to Pembroke, the entire 87-mile long trail is expected to open in the fall of 2010.
Such trails are just a sampling of the multi-use rail trails in Maine waiting to be trod upon, ridden over, or galloped on. You choose the method… Maine rail trails will provide the path.

Business Users Can Develop Real-Time Cassandra Applications For The First Time
Acunu, the pioneer in real-time big data analytics, today announced the immediate availability of Acunu Analytics 5.0 for Cassandra NoSQL databases. The new version gives control over their data back to business users by offering "self service" business intelligence for real-time Cassandra NoSQL data. As a result, business users can bypass IT departments and long waits for application development time and begin using Cassandra data instantly for improved business agility.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131017/647362 )
Today, most self service BI tools, like QlikView, do not offer connectors to Cassandra databases. Analytic tools that do connect to Cassandra, such as Tableau, only provide one-off extracts of data and cannot refresh in real time. Acunu Analytics 5.0 is the first tool to give business users access to high-velocity streams of data accessible in milliseconds.
"Acunu Analytics 5.0 will enable Cassandra developers to increase their productivity and allow business users to build their own BI dashboards," said Billy Bosworth, CEO, DataStax. "Business users expect self-service BI on relational database systems, but with Acunu Analytics 5.0 they can achieve the same functionality on Cassandra while enjoying our platform's scalability and availability advantages."
"This will make a huge difference to our next project; we can just give this to our data team and they can build dashboards themselves," said Dave Gardner, Chief Cassandra Architect, Hailo.
For the first time, with Acunu Analytics 5.0 for Cassandra, business users can:

Jennifer Seeger stared at the gun pointed at her face in a darkened movie theater.
The 22-year-old had two choices: Stand there and die, or make a run for it.
She made a split-second decision and dived into a row at the Century Aurora 16 multiplex, tucking herself under the seats.
The gunman shot into the row, and then into the row behind Seeger. Bullet casings, burning hot, dropped around her.
Play dead, she told people as the shooting continued. He won't shoot people he thinks are already dead.
The movies
In the movies, violence is coordinated. Explosions are perfectly timed. Gunshots ring out clearly. Bodies fall slowly.
But when violence strikes in real life, it is chaotic and often muffled.
That's the scene that unfolded early Friday morning, shortly after midnight, when a gunman opened fire at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a screening of the new Batman sequel.
In the few minutes it took the gunman to unload hundreds of rounds, according to police estimates, nearly everyone inside Theater No. 9 would make a life-or-death decision -- sometimes with terrifying results.
The theaters of the Century 16 multiplex were filled with hard-core fans, many of whom bought tickets weeks earlier for the 12:05 a.m. premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises." Many wore costumes that emulated their favorite characters in the DC Comics franchise.
In the front of the theater, Seeger and a friend took seats in the second row, close to the screen. Emma Goose, 19, and her friends arrived late and were forced to take separate seats close to the front, also near the screen.
The gunman was there, too. He bought a ticket at the door and took a seat near the emergency exit door, according to police.
'Oh my God'
The movie was in its first minutes and most of the moviegoers didn't appear to notice the exit door open and then only partially close.
Authorities believe it was then that the gunman sneaked out to his car parked in the rear of the theater to pick up weapons and don a gas mask and tactical gear, including a ballistic helmet and protective gear for his legs, throat and groin.
It was shortly after 12:35 a.m. when Seeger first saw the man wearing a gas mask and toting weapons enter the theater through the emergency exit door.
He looked like "a SWAT man," decked out head-to-toe in black, Seeger thought.
It must be part of the show, she reasoned, an added attraction on the opening night of one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year.
Goose thought the same thing.
In one hand, the man held a hissing canister, they said. In the other, a rifle.
Seeger watched him as he lobbed the canister into the audience. It made a loud popping sound, witnesses say.
He then pointed the rifle toward the ceiling, firing several rounds.
In that moment, Seeger knew it was not an act. So, too, did Goose.
"Oh my God, this is really happening," Goose thought, as she went to the floor.

Welcome to the 21st century, Ivy League.
This July, the eight-member conference finally agreed to create the Ivy League Digital Sports Network. It officially launched on Aug. 21 with a variety of viewing packages available for even the most passionate Ivy League sports fans. Little information about programming, formatting, and on-air personalities has been made public, so it is too early to critique the new network, but one thing's for sure: The arrival of the Ivy League Digital Sports Network is, well, shockingly late.
Let me preface all comparisons between conferences by explaining that the Ivy League should not be held to the standard of universities in the "power six conferences." Columbia is not Alabama, whose games are distributed by the recently-formed SEC Network and a variety of other national and regional networks. Moreover, Columbia is not the University of Texas, which has its own television channel, the Longhorn Network. But how does the Ivy League compare to, say, the Mountain West Conference, which is home to San Diego State and the University of New Mexico among others? Even the Mountain West Conference has had a television network since 2006!
The Ivy League has hesitated to adapt to the changing landscape of college athletics. In this new era, universities receive millions of dollars annually from television deals. When a particular university has the opportunity to earn more money—and greater national exposure—in another conference, that university will almost certainly leave. The result is a sort of arms race between conferences, jockeying for the favor of universities and of television networks. Consider that the Big 10, long at the forefront of the television movement, has grown from a 10-team conference into a (soon-to-be) 14-team conference. The Big East, on the other hand, balked at negotiations with television networks and slowly watched its member universities depart for other conferences. Once the most competitive basketball conference in college athletics, the Big East no longer holds that title.
The Ivy League will not wither away into multiple conferences like the Big East. Loyalty exists in the Ivy League—a trait that is extremely rare in college athletics today—because the eight member schools have both unique scholastic and athletic bonds. (The conference nickname Ancient Eight speaks to that relationship.) The Ivy League does not have the same type of visibility as the Big 10, but the eight-member conference needs to be available on television to its niche audience.
Sure, NBC Sports Network and even ESPNU may have been reliable sources for Ivy League sports coverage in 2012, but that was before NBC Sports signed a $250 million multi-year contract with the English Premier League, arguably the top soccer league in the world. As a result, after the 2013-14 season—the final year of the TV deal between NBCSN and the Ivy League—the network could well cut out mid-major sports from its weekend lineup and concentrate on soccer. ESPNU, which doesn't carry many Ivy games to begin with, will receive significant changes to its programming in 2014 thanks to a television contract with the SEC. It's hard to see it televising Ivy games beyond Harvard men's basketball (a borderline top-25 team) and maybe some lacrosse.
The reality is, the Ivy League in a year or two may no longer be a presence on major television networks. The only way to secure its future on television is to start its own TV network. While a television network is more expensive to operate, the difference in fees between a digital network and a television network would be covered by the additional exposure. It's much more likely someone stumbles across Ivy sports while flipping channels than while surfing the web. More people watching Ivy League athletics means more applicants to the universities, and, of course, greater selectivity only improves the quality of schools. Furthermore, greater exposure should motivate alumni or other wealthy fans of Ivy League athletics to donate to schools.
College athletics is a commodity. To take full advantage of the presence of college sports, a full-time digital network needs to be just an auxiliary outlet—not the only one.

you would think an ivy league rag would be accurate. the MWC does not have its own channel.
and, the big east basketball only schools do in fact still holds the big east name. the football schools are the ones that left the name behind and are now the American.
come on ivy, sharpen that pencil!!!!
This was very well stated! I could not agree more. I look forward to reading more of your articles, Daniel.

TORONTO — A multi-billion dollar takeover of BlackBerry by one of its largest shareholders is far from a done deal, and could still hit several snags along the way, say analysts familiar with the troubled smartphone maker.
The Waterloo, Ont.-based company announced that a consortium led by Canadian investment firm Fairfax Financial (TSX:FFH) is moving ahead with the deal worth US$4.7-billion.
But MKM Partners analyst Mike Genovese says the acquisition, valued at US$9-per-share, is a case of Canadian private equity investors trying to rescue their investment when few others are interested.
He says if Blackberry had interested buyers, Fairfax would have never had to push for this transaction, which he says was also partly done to stabilize Blackberry's eroding stock value.
Analyst Troy Crandall of Montreal investment firm MacDougall, MacDougall and MacTier says the deal is positive for shareholders because "it relieves the uncertainty and volatility."
The price was above BlackBerry's recent value on public markets, following the company's announcement Friday that it will cut about 40 per cent of its global workforce, about 4,500 jobs, and record a writedown of nearly $1 billion.
Under the deal announced Monday, the consortium will acquire all of the outstanding shares of BlackBerry not held by Toronto-based Fairfax, which owns approximately a 10 per cent of the Waterloo, Ont.-based company.
"We believe this transaction will open an exciting new private chapter for BlackBerry, its customers, carriers and employees," Fairfax chairman and chief executive Prem Watsa said in a statement.
"We can deliver immediate value to shareholders, while we continue the execution of a long-term strategy in a private company with a focus on delivering superior and secure enterprise solutions to BlackBerry customers around the world."
The BlackBerry board of directors has approved the terms of the letter of agreement.
BlackBerry shares were down 60 cents at C$8.48 on the Toronto Stock Exchange before a trading halt. After trading resumed at 2 p.m. ET, the shares jumped to C$9.25 in Toronto and US$9.03 on the Nasdaq market in the United States.
The consortium is expected to complete its due diligence by Nov. 4. Until then, BlackBerry is allowed to actively solicit and evaluate rival offers.
The agreement includes a break fee of at least 30 cents per share, or about $157 million, if BackBerry signs a deal with another buyer under certain circumstances. That amount increases to 50 cents per share or about $262 million if BlackBerry has signed a definitive agreement with the Fairfax consortium.
The New York Times reported on the weekend, citing sources, that BlackBerry co-founder Mike Lazaridis, who stepped down as co-chief executive in 2011, has approached two U.S. private equity firms about making a possible bid.
"The special committee is seeking the best available outcome for the company's constituents, including for shareholders," BlackBerry chairwoman Barbara Stymiest said.
"Importantly, the go-shop process provides an opportunity to determine if there are alternatives superior to the present proposal from the Fairfax consortium."
BlackBerry shares have been traded at less than half the value they had in January ahead of the launch of its first smartphones running its new BlackBerry 10 operating system.
However, the launch of BB10 fizzled and the new devices, failed to spark consumer interest.
On Friday, the company said it plans a writedown of up to $960 million in the second quarter, primarily from poor sales of its BlackBerry Z10 touchscreen smartphones.
It will also book a $72-million restructuring charge related to changes in its operations, which include previous layoffs.
BlackBerry says it expects to post a loss of US$950 million to $995 million for the fiscal second-quarter. It also projected US$1.6 billion in sales, far short of analyst expectations of about US$3 billion.
Here are a few key numbers in the company's history.
Entertainment industry awards: 2 (1994 Emmy for technical innovation, 1999 Academy Award for Technical Achievement)
Lowest stock price: $6.10 (Sept. 24, 2012)
Stock price of Fairfax offer: $9 per share
Years the BlackBerry has been in existence: 14 (first BlackBerry wireless handheld device in 1999, first BlackBerry smartphone in 2003)
Years as a publicly traded company: 16

Here's a look back at BlackBerry's history
1984: Research In Motion is founded by University of Waterloo engineering student Mike Lazaridis and University of Windsor engineering student Douglas Fregin
1988: RIM begins developing products for Mobitex wireless packet-switched data communications networks, often used by military and police forces, firefighters and ambulance services
1988: RIM releases the DigiSync Film KeyKode Reader, a product for the motion picture industry
1992: Jim Balsillie joins RIM. He would become co-CEO along with Lazaridis
1996: RIM releases the Interctive Pager, also known as the RIM 900, its first keyboard-based device
1997: RIM goes public on the Toronto Stock Exchange
1998: The RIM 950, a dramatically slimmed down two-way pager, is released
1999: The stock symbol RIMM is added to Nasdaq. RIM announces it has received FCC approval in the U.S. to begin selling its first BlackBerry device, the 850, with mobile email
2002: RIM adds voice calling capabilities to the BlackBerry 5810
2003: RIM is added to the Nasdaq 100, releases its first BlackBerry with a colour screen
2004: RIM marks its 20th anniversary announcing it has passed the one-million subscriber mark. By year's end it has more than two million subscribers using its devices
2005: RIM hits four million subscribers, Balsillie and Lazaridis are named among Time magazine's 100 most influential people
2006: BlackBerry releases the first in a line of consumer-friendly Pearl devices, adding a digital camera and multimedia capabilities
2007: RIM becomes the most valuable company on the TSX with a market capitalization surpassing $67 billion. The company has 10 million subscribers and introduces the first of its Curve BlackBerrys. But RIM is caught flat-footed by the overwhelming response to Apple's new iPhone
2008: RIM stock hits a high of $149.90 in June but the euphoria is short lived. The stock market crash in September takes its shares below $50 and its first touchscreen BlackBerry, the Storm, is critically panned as iPhone hype grows with the new 3G model
2009: BlackBerry launches its App World marketplace to compete with Apple's App Store. Its selection pales in comparison, a problem that is never solved
2010: RIM surpasses 40 million users and announces it has shipped its 100 millionth smartphone. It buys Ottawa-based QNX Software Systems, which would help reshape its operating system software going forward. A few months after the first iPad hits the market RIM unveils its PlayBook tablet but says it won't be released until early the following year
2011: An unpolished PlayBook is finally released in the spring, later than expected, and reviews are not kind. A few months later the company announces it's cutting 2,000 jobs. In October, users around the world suffer through a four-day service outage
2012: Lazaridis and Balsillie step down as co-CEOs and are replaced by Thorsten Heins. Balsillie also resigns from the board of directors. Within months Heins announces 5,000 layoffs and a delay to the critical BlackBerry 10 software update, which is seen as the company's last chance to stay alive. The stock touches a low of $6.10 in the fall
2013: Heins finally unveils BlackBerry 10 and the first two smartphones to use the operating system, the Z10 and Q10. The company purchases a Super Bowl ad to build hype for the new company, which officially changes its name to BlackBerry. The phones don't sell well enough to bolster its fortunes. Lazaridis steps down as vice chairman and leaves the board of directors. In August, the company says it is open to "strategic alternatives" including a possible sale. On Friday, the company announced it was laying off another 4,000 employees and planned to refocus on the enterprise market. On Monday, it announced Fairfax Financial Holdings offered to buy the company in a deal worth about US$4.7 billion.

The foremost goal of citizen science for biodiversity monitoring is to gather data / information in order to increase scientific knowledge to enable and enhance actions to preserve biological diversity. Citizen science plays a critical role in advancing knowledge about biodiversity, for example in relation to monitoring trends in occurrence, distribution, or status of species. The vast data volume that can be collected by a large number of volunteers dwarfs any professional capacity for monitoring. This is especially true for biodiversity monitoring spanning large spatial (e.g. Europe) and temporal extents (e.g. decades). For example, in March 2012, participants reported more than 3.1 million bird observations across North America in the eBird project. This had been based on citizen science reporting with more than 21 million records collected by 2009 (Sullivan et al., 2009). In Sweden, more than 36 million records have been reported to the Species Information System since 2000 (Swedish Information System, 2013).
Raising public awareness and understanding issues related to biodiversity is another important purpose for establishing citizen science reporting systems. Engaging the public to report observations requires that they are informed of the issues and aware of why their observations and reports are needed and their value. Involving people in monitoring gives them a basic understanding of the underlying threat to biodiversity and can facilitate a willingness to contribute to solving the problem.
Citizen science programmes can be a valuable tool for education at all levels. Citizen scientists learn in a hands-on way about biological diversity - to identify more species, learn about various species, population diversity and animal behaviours. Participants learn to use scientific methods and data analysis tools. This experience of contributing directly to environmental monitoring and research stimulates interaction with others with similar interests and may generate deeper engagement in local environmental issues (Dickinson et al., 2012).
Citizen science monitoring is used in a variety of ways and for different purposes. Here the focus is on the use of observations made by citizens in biodiversity monitoring programmes in Europe that cover a broad range of information on species, habitats and ecosystems.
A focus on citizen science monitoring for biodiversity is very timely for several reasons. Firstly, the acceleration of threats to biodiversity makes it critical to detect biodiversity trends quickly, which will require large volumes of data. Secondly, the advancement in technologies (e.g. recent and widespread proliferation of smart phone use by the general public) provides a huge potential for crowd-sourcing, i.e. the collection of data by a high number of volunteers.

]]>These indicators have played an important role in measuring progress towards the European 2010 biodiversity target of halting biodiversity loss in Europe by 2010 (EEA, 2009) as measured by the SEBI and will play an important role in measuring progress towards the targets in the EU 2020 Biodiversity Strategy and the Aichi Targets of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity for the period 2011–2020 for the Convention on Biological Diversity (EEA, 2012).
The data on breeding populations of common birds across Europe have been gathered through large-scale monitoring schemes based on fieldwork by volunteers, with a standardised methodology and formally designed monitoring schemes, through the Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme. The project is undertaken through a joint effort from BirdLife International and the European Bird Census Council (EBCC). The indicator shows the trends in populations of common birds (n = 136), common farmland bird species (n = 36) and common forest bird species (n = 29) since 1980. Overall, the indicator shows that Europe's common bird populations have been reduced by around 10 % since 1980. Common farmland birds declined most severely, around 50 %, while common forest birds declined by around 10 %.
The indicator covers 17 species of grassland butterflies and is based on national Butterfly Monitoring Schemes in countries across Europe. The indicator is based on the fieldwork of thousands of trained professional and volunteer recorders, counting butterflies on approximately 3 500 monitoring transects scattered widely across Europe.
The indicator shows that since 1990, butterfly populations have declined by more than half, indicating a dramatic loss of grassland biodiversity.
The Global Network of Networks was also launched at the conference and aims to align existing and planned local, national and global networks including Eionet (European Environment Information and Observation Network), Sustained Arctic Observing Network and AfricaEIN. The conference outcome was captured in the Dublin Statement. It covers a series of special initiatives on oceans, water, biodiversity, cities and disasters as well as technical development of the platform, citizen science as an important source of knowledge, building capacities across the network and empowerment of Eye on Earth communities.
Plenary speakers included Phil Hogan, Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government for Ireland, Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the European Environment Agency, H.E. Razan Khalifa al Mubarak, Secretary General of the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency, Monika MacDevette, Chief of Capacity Development Branch at the United Nations Environment Programme, Barbara Ryan, Secretariat Director of the Group on Earth Observations, Alan Edwards from the European Commission, Volker Liebig, Director of Earth Observation at the European Space Agency, Harvey Simon from the US Environment Protection Agency, Costis Toregas from the George Washington University, Eric van Praag from GeoSUR, Frank McCosker, Managing Director of Global Strategic Accounts at Microsoft and Dean Agelides, Corporate Director of Esri.
The aim of the conference was to bring together the Eye on Earth partners and communities to create a widespread understanding among data providers and users about the concept of data and information sharing through the Eye on Earth Network. You can read more about the conference on the Eye on Earth website and in the blog.
Phil Hogan said: "Good environmental data is an essential starting point in meeting environmental challenges and in developing an enhanced understanding of how our environment affects us and how our actions impact on our surroundings. Harnessing the collective energy of the Eye on Earth community has the potential to promote sustainable development in many areas."
Achim Steiner, Executive Director of UNEP, said: "The Eye on Earth Alliance is addressing the issue of improving data access in the global arena through the Eye on Earth Summit hosted in Abu Dhabi in December 2011 and more recently, at the UNCSD Rio+20 Summit in Brazil in June 2012, where UNEP and the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi presented in unison to the global challenge of tackling the sustainable development issues at hand. The Dublin Statement is an important step in expanding and strengthening the Alliance so that a wider array of partners share a common vision and goals in facilitating access to information for sustainable development."
Jacqueline McGlade expanded on the sharing theme with a vision of citizens communicating with government through their daily lives. "The conference was a real eye opener for all of us and showed just how Eye on Earth can play a major role in delivering this ambitious vision. By supporting partnerships across the diverse communities of knowledge, we can develop a global understanding of the Earth," she said.
]]>The following overview of European biodiversity monitoring schemes using citizen science presents examples of initiatives at European and national level in different countries. The purpose of the list is to illustrate the diversity of subjects and approaches to biodiversity based on observation schemes involving volunteers in Europe. The list is not comprehensive, but represents input received from an Eionet consultation involving the by then 32 member and 7 cooperating countries of the EEA.
There were identified and described 115 biodiversity schemes in 24 countries, using citizen science (two of them encompassing a number of schemes, not everyone related to biodiversity). In citizen science reporting schemes for biodiversity, those devoted to general flora and fauna are the most common (22 %), followed by those dedicated to birds (19 %), invasive alien species (13 %) and butterflies (8 %). Also 8 % of the schemes (almost 10 % including those dealing with marine invasive alien species) are especially designed for the marine environment.
Here you will find a compilation of biodiversity reporting monitoring and information schemes that use citizen science at the European level and in European countries:

Omega-7: The Omega You Haven't Heard About...
Omega-3, -6, and -9. Most people have heard of these essential fatty-acids and they should already be part of your daily health routine. Omega-3 is abundant in fresh flax and fish, such as salmon. In borage and primrose you'll find Omega-6. And, in olives, Omega-9. There is broad scientific consensus that these beneficial oils help sustain and protect. But one critical Omega fatty-acid is commonly missing from the list: Omega-7.
The natural botanical source of New Chapter's® Supercritical Omega-7 oil, Sea Buckthorn, is comprised of both palmitoleic and cis-vaccenic acids and has been used in the ancient tradition for centuries to promote skin, urogenital and digestive health.*
The key source of Supercritical Omega-7's lauded skin support properties comes from a specific fatty acid. Palmitoleic acid is a naturally occurring component of healthy skin and is a highly effective antioxidant providing strong anti-aging support because of its ability to rein in free radicals.* A 1999 report suggested that this palmitoleic acid may help support healthy skin.* This key constituent of Supercritical Omega-7 is also a strong emollient – a substance that soothes and moisturizes the skin and promotes the regeneration of tissues.*
Omega-7: Traditional Skin & Membrane Support
While the benefit of Sea Buckthorn on the body's largest organ, the skin, has been widely documented in ancient texts, it also has an extensive history of traditional use in Tibet & Mongolia for the body's sensitive internal organs – in particular the mucous membranes that line the stomach/GI tract, upper respiratory tract, and vagina. The ability of this botanical to help moisturize and soothe these sensitive internal areas in addition to its external skin benefits has made it a staple of traditional herbal systems. Similar properties have been reported in various modern studies.
Modern science has determined how best to extract Sea Buckthorn's broad spectrum constituents. Supercritical Omega-7 employs a special technology called Supercritical CO2 extraction (which does not use hexane or other industrial solvents commonly used to create herbal extracts), that delivers the beneficial components of Sea Buckthorn under extremely gentle conditions in a low heat and oxygen environment.
Omega-7 nicely complements any essential fatty- acid health regimen. The berries and seeds of this revered botanical are also a source of traditional Omega-3, -6, and -9 – making it the optimal form of essential fatty-acid supplementation, and one that everyone should consider incorporating into their skin and membrane health routine.

The Knicks have had some games this season when they've lost their composure and focus, and so now they've brought in a veteran player who is the first to admit, "I'm a hothead a little bit." Sounds like a perfect fit. Kenyon Martin went through his first workout Saturday with the Knicks, but didn't lose his temper or get on anyone's bad side by saying the wrong thing after signing a 10-day contract. So he's off to a good start and vows to continue, and plans on getting signed for the remainder of the season. "People have misconceptions about me," the former Net said in Greenburgh. "That's why I'm here, to change those now.'" Well, there's more to it, from the slumping Knicks' standpoint. They are hopeful that Martin can provide some hustle and defense, something they desperately need, along with insurance, with Marcus Camby and Rasheed Wallace still sidelined with injuries.
