Around six months ago, a friend sent me a bottle of a new sleep and relaxation formula to try. I found the formula to be unusually effective, although I wasn't familiar with one of the ingredients, which was listed as "pheny-GABA."
When I looked up pheny-GABA on the internet, I discovered that this was the chemical name for a drug that I was actually already familiar with, known as "phenibut," which is a chemical analog of the neurotransmitter (brain chemical) known as "GABA," which tends to have relaxing or sedating effects on the brain.
I was surprised by this, because I had tried phenibut a few years earlier, and didn't experience this kind of efficacy from it. Maybe, when I tried it years ago, I didn't do enough of it, or maybe the quality of the product was inferior, but, for whatever reason, I didn't get nearly the kind of dramatic effects that I've got from the batch that my friend sent me.
Overall, I find that phenibut substantially reduces my social anxiety, has potent antidepressant properties, helps me to sleep much better, and it significantly improves my cognitive and sexual performance.
It also appears to have revitalizing and rejuvenating effects, possibly by increasing growth hormone levels, and it seems to improve skin and muscle tone, as well as general health and overall well-being.
The only side-effects that I've experienced from phenibut have been some transient anxiety at times, and a bit of nausea on occasions where I took too much. If I do it too often, then the effects become less sedating and more stimulating.
It's pretty hard to abuse phenibut, as it doesn't get you high or make you feel terribly euphoric, and taking more of it doesn't make you feel any better.
While some people have compared it's primary effects to that of a light dose of GHB or MDMA, it's really just an effective anti-anxiety, antidepressant medication, with few side-effects and remarkable health benefits.
The effects of phenibut simultaneously combine mild-to-moderate sedation with mild-to-moderate stimulation, allowing one to feel physically relaxed and mentally focused at the same time.
Not long after I discovered the wonders of phenibut, and began using it regularly every day, I started to become a bit concerned about my frequent phenibut use when I discovered a number of reports, on a variety of internet forums, about the dangers of phenibut addiction and the frightening withdrawals that can sometimes occur from using it too frequently, for too long.
Some people likened phenibut withdrawals to being similar to GHB or benzodiazepine withdrawals, which can be pretty severe, and carry the dangerous risk of seizures.
It's true that phenibut is best used occasionally, and for most people, a good guideline is not to take more than 2 or 3 grams of phenibut per week.
Almost everyone who regularly uses phenibut agrees that it shouldn't be used continuously for long periods of time, because tolerance builds quickly, and anxiety-like side-effects can increase.
Some of the recommended schedules that regular phenibut users suggest are 3 days on, and three days off; or two weeks on, and two weeks off. Personally, I've found that two one gram servings per week are about right for me.
However, I also suspect that some of the horror stories about phenibut withdrawals might have been a bit exaggerated, or that they vary significantly from person to person.
To help get myself through an emotionally difficult period of my life, I personally used phenibut regularly, for significantly longer than is generally recommended, without any serious problems when I stopped.
The only "withdrawals" that I noticed, after almost 3 months of daily use, were pretty minor. I hesitate to even call them withdrawals, because, for the most part, I felt great, and everyone told me that I looked great.
After stopping my daily phenibut use without any problem, I experienced mildly stimulating effects, strong upbeat emotions, excessive horniness, abundant erections, and forceful orgasms, with a little anxiety and some difficulty sleeping, which lasted for around 5 days.
I've read several reports by other people who have had similar anti-climatic "withdrawals" after excessively using phenibut, and it seems to me that the severe "withdrawals" from phenibut that I initially read about may not have been representative of most people's experience.
While I don't doubt that some people may experience genuinely difficult, and possibly dangerous, episodes from using phenibut too often, the so-called "withdrawals" that I experienced seemed actually more like what I would describe as an "afterglow."
Although most people aren't aware of phenibut, it's not new, and it has a long track record of safety and efficiency. Phenibut was discovered and put into clinical practice in Russia in the 1960s, and it is mandated standard equipment in every Russian cosmonaut's medical kit.
Phenibut was chosen for the cosmonauts because, unlike conventional tranquilizers for stress and anxiety (such as valium or ativan, which can make people drowsy), phenibut lowers stress levels without adversely affecting one's performance.
In fact, many people describe phenibut's effects as being like a mixture of a tranquilizer, such as diazepam (valium), and a nootropic (cognitive enhancer), like hydergine or piracetam.
Phenibut is a very slight chemical modification of the neurotransmitter GABA. Chemists add what's called a "pheny" ring to the GABA molecule--which allows it to easy cross the blood-brain barrier (unlike plain, unaltered GABA supplements).
The drug binds to what are called the "GABA-B receptors" in the brain, and in high concentrations, possibly to the "GABA-A receptors" as well. This mimics the relaxing effects of GABA, and it also excites the dopamine receptors, which has a stimulating effect.
People seem to react differently to phenibut, and some people need to experiment with it for awhile, before they can figure out how it works best for them.
It's often recommended that one doesn't drink alcohol with phenibut, but it may be more advisable to simply drink less alcohol with it, as many people report that they enjoy synergistically blending the two.
I never tried this, as I rarely drink alcohol, but I would suggest extreme caution if one does, as from what I've read phenibut can fully triple the strength of the alcohol that one drinks. In other words, one drink can be equal to three on phenibut.
Some body builders use phenibut because it is thought to increase growth hormone and testosterone levels, due to it's chemical similarity to other drugs that are known to do this, as well as from the growing number of anecdotal reports that it helps people to build muscle mass and improve sexual performance.
After I started using phenibut regularly I noticed that my muscles were getting firmer and stronger, without any additional exercise, and this was a totally unexpected benefit. I could even see the muscles in my face become firmer.
Therapeutically, phenibut is widely used in Russia to relieve tension and anxiety, as well as to treat insomnia, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, stuttering, and other ailments.
Although phenibut is a prescription medication in Russia, it's sold over the counter in the United States. Almost every health food store carries it, and it's even stocked in my local supermarket.
However, hands down, the very best, purest, and least expensive source of quality phenibut that I know of comes from LiftMode. You can find their phenibut products here:

Gov. Sam Brownback's allies have raised the potential expansion of the state's Medicaid program as a campaign issue in the days before Tuesday's election decides races for the Kansas Legislature.
It comes as conservative Republicans try to bind Democrats to President Barack Obama and the federal health care overhaul. It's a tactic that's worked in GOP-leaning Kansas.
Many Kansas Republicans are skeptical of the federal law's promise to fund the expansion because of the federal government's ongoing budget problems.
Retiring House Speaker and conservative Hutchinson Republican Mike O'Neal says voters need to know whether legislators and candidates would support an expansion.
But Democrats aren't openly embracing a Medicaid expansion. They contend the state can't seriously contemplate any additional spending because of massive income tax cuts enacted this year.

More than 250 Roman Catholic bishops, abbots and priests from Nebraska, neighboring states and beyond filled Lincoln's Cathedral of the Risen Christ to watch the installation of Bishop James Conley.
The 57-year-old Conley took over Tuesday as the leader of the Lincoln Diocese.
Conley, who was auxiliary bishop of Denver, has said he will keep the Lincoln Diocese's conservative philosophies and practices. Conley follows retiring Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, who led the diocese for 20 years.
Conley told those assembled that he's experienced his first Nebraska football victory and eaten his first Runza sandwich and "also already eaten more kolaches than I care to admit." And then he said, "I am now a Nebraskan."

Samuel Morin
Position: Defense
Junior team: Rimouski (QMJHL)
Born: Lac-Beauport, Quebec
Measurables: 6-foot-6, 202 pounds
2012-13 stats: 46 games, 4 goals, 12 assists, 16 points
Central Scouting rank: No. 23 (North America)
Lowdown: Morin was merely a curiosity when the season started. He stood out because of his height, but little else was of grand stature. Things have changed. He's vaulted up the prospect rankings, including a 53-spot jump by NHL Central Scouting, which had him ranked 76th in the midterm evaluations. Folks are intrigued by his willingness to scuffle and hit. His long reach in the defensive zone is an enviable trait and makes forwards go wider than they'd planned.
He's a solid puck mover with a hard shot. He learned power-play tips from Sabres prospect and former Rimouski standout Jerome Gauthier-Leduc, who was a scoring machine in juniors.
Morin's lack of pounds weighs heavily against him. He's as rail-thin as Buffalo's Tyler Myers at the same age, and like Myers he may struggle to put on pounds. Myers faltered while trying to adjust to his developing body, and Morin has experienced similar growing pains.
They said it: "He moves really well for a big guy, and he has a good sense of the game, offensively and defensively. He's quite a responsible player. When you get a guy that's that big, that rangy, can make the first pass out of the zone and has a good stick to defend, and he's got a little bit of a physical element ... that's a pretty nice package." – Dan Marr, director of NHL Central Scouting, to the Montreal Gazette.
The Buffalo News is profiling 30 prospects in 30 days leading up to the NHL draft June 30.

Some faxes came in late, one letter of intent was sent upside down, and another didn't have the correct date.
The fax snafus were few, though, compared with the stress Chris Petersen and his staff faced in having less than two months from when he accepted the University of Washington football job until signing day.
"There was some tough sledding in those two months," Petersen said.
But Petersen and his staff were able to secure a first recruiting class that appears to address needs, add talent and — what the UW had been so criticized for under Steve Sarkisian — corral the state's top players to Montlake.
Petersen's inaugural recruiting class features six of the state's top players, including Bellevue's Budda Baker and Fife's Kaleb McGary.
They were two of four four-star recruits ranked by Scout.com that the UW signed during national signing day Wednesday.
Petersen had previously signed four four-star recruits combined in his eight seasons at Boise State. Sarkisian had zero four-star recruits in his first UW recruiting class in 2009.
"Were we able to get some guys that we probably wouldn't have been able to get a year ago (at Boise State)? Absolutely, no question," Petersen said. "I think there was some really good intensity, and, boy, if we can keep this kind of recruiting intensity up all year long to this place, then I'm really excited about the future."
Baker announced live on KING-5 on Tuesday that he would attend the UW after decommitting from Oregon in mid-January. He stood by his word and sent his signed letter of intent from Bellevue High School early Wednesday.
"I was happy because I talked with (Petersen) at Boise State, and then I saw he got the job at Washington," Baker said minutes before sending his fax Wednesday. "It was a matter of me going to meet with him and talk to him and talk about the plan that he has. I was cool with it.
"The numbers don't lie, and they did a great job at Boise State. So I feel like we can take the next step at Washington."
Baker said he will play free safety, but Petersen talked about including him in offensive packages and the return game eventually, as well.
"The second we got here, he's all we heard about," Petersen said. "We talk about those OKGs (Our Kind of Guys) — I think he is one of them.
"We kind of told him, 'We don't want to make you a jack of all trades, master of none. We want you to … get your feet on the ground, then we can expand.' But we need him on defense in the worst way right now."
McGary was recruited as an offensive lineman. But Petersen said he asked which side of the ball McGary preferred and was told defense.
"I think that's where he wants to test the water, and I think that's where he fits best," Petersen said. "He may be that big-time defensive end. He may be an inside guy. He may be an unbelievable offensive tackle. I just know he's something."
The UW also secured in-state recruits Drew Sample (Newport of Bellevue), Shane Bowman (Bellevue), Drew Lewis (Eastlake of Sammamish) and Jaimie Bryant, a former Tumwater standout who grayshirted this year.
The Huskies signed a quarterback in K.J. Carta-Samuels of Bellarmine Prep (Calif.) and added four-star cornerback Naijiel Hale of prestigious St. John Bosco (Calif.). He's the son of late rapper Nate Dogg.
UW also snagged the top-ranked Montana recruit — defensive lineman Will Dissly.
But Petersen stressed that much of UW's focus will be spent trying to keep in-state talent in the state.
"I think the heart and soul of this thing needs to start right here in this area and this state," Petersen said. "I think we got off to a good start this year, and I'm hoping that trend continues."
Doing that should be far easier for this staff with more than two months in which to work.
TJ Cotterill: 253-597-8677
email@example.com @Cotterill44
Budda Baker, S, 5-10, 180, Bellevue: Baker decommitted from Oregon in mid-January and then became UW's biggest catch. The top-ranked recruit in the state of Washington and a top-50 recruit in the nation expects to see time in almost every facet of the game: free safety, offensive packages and the return game. Helped Bellevue win sixth consecutive state title last season.
Shane Bowman, DE, 6-4, 250, Bellevue: Bowman was a key defensive member of the Wolverines' past two state title runs. With Bellevue being the powerhouse it is, Bowman played in only the first half in all but one game. But he still recorded 20 tackles for loss and 14 sacks his senior year. Originally committed to Oregon State.
Jaimie Bryant, DL, 6-5, 300, Tumwater: Bryant graduated from Tumwater last year, but grayshirted with UW this year and signed Wednesday. He was named to The News Tribune all-area team as a senior in 2012.
Devin Burleson, OL, 6-7, 260, Palmdale, Calif./Highland: UW coach Chris Petersen said he has never been around a taller player than Burleson. He's only been playing football the past couple of years, so as he continues to develop his skills, Burleson could offer solid potential along the offensive line.
K.J. Carta-Samuels, QB, 6-2, 225, Saratoga, Calif./Bellarmine Prep (Calif.): Has speed, arm strength and upside that garnered him four-star status by most recruiting sites. Petersen loves the potential of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl invitee.
Will Dissly, DL, 6-4, 250, Bozeman, Mont.: Dissly is the gem of Montana recruits in this year's class, being the second player ever named among Parade All-Americans from that state. He was the Gatorade Player of the Year in that state after compiling 57 tackles, 12 for loss and 9.5 sacks. He had 13.5 sacks as a junior. Originally committed to Boise State.
Jomon Dotson, RB, 5-11, 175, American Canyon, Calif.: Dotson is ranked among the top-50 running backs in the nation by Rivals.com after setting school records for career rushing yards (4,976) and rushing touchdowns (60) at American Canyon. His breakaway speed allowed him to rush for 2,004 yards on 189 carries his senior year (10.6 yards per carry) and 26 touchdowns.
Greg Gaines, DL, 6-1, 305, La Habra, Calif.: Gaines was MVP of the Freeway League at La Habra and an All-California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Southwest Division on the defensive line as a senior. Didn't have five stars by most recruiting websites, but Petersen thinks Gaines is the ultimate inside guy. He had committed to Boise State.
Darren Gardenhire, CB, 6-0, 180, Long Beach, Calif./Cabrillo: He played at Lakewood High (Calif.) alongside UW receiver John Ross and at Cabrillo his senior year with Keith Price's younger brother Kaelon Price, a quarterback. The Long Beach Press-Telegram named Gardenhire to its "Dream Team."
Naijiel Hale, CB, 5-11, 180, Bellflower, Calif./St. John Bosco: Hale, son of late rapper Nate Dogg, is one of four cornerbacks in Petersen's first recruiting class. But Hale is considered the most prized. A four-star recruit, Hale is a top-30 cornerback in the nation by most recruiting sites and helped St. John Bosco notch the No. 1 ranking in the nation by MaxPreps.com.
Matt James, OL, 6-5, 270, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho: Named to the All-Idaho team as a senior offensive and defensive lineman at Coeur d'Alene, where he has a grade-point average over 4.0. ESPN ranked him a top-50 offensive lineman in the nation.
Jaylen Johnson, DL, 6-3, 245, Corona, Calif./Centennial: Johnson took longer than any player for UW to get. He was CIF Southern Section Inland Division Defensive Player of the Year and the Defensive MVP of the Big VIII League as a senior.
Sidney Jones, CB, 6-1, 170, Diamond Bar, Calif./West Covina: Played all over the field at West Covina, including wide receiver, running back, cornerback, free safety, and punt and kick returner.
Brayden Lenius, WR, 6-5, 220, North Vancouver, B.C./Chaminade Prep (Calif.): Adds more size to UW's receiver core. Lenius was ranked as the No. 24 tight end in the nation by Scout.com, but UW is billing him as a wide receiver, so Lenius will join Damore'ea Stringfellow (6-3) and Kasen Williams (6-2). Lenius' grandfather, Eldridge Dickey, was the first African-American quarterback ever selected in the first round of an AFL or NFL draft in 1968.
Brandon Lewis, CB, 5-11, 180, Rancho Murieta, Calif./Pleasant Grove: Lewis has an injury history — missed entire junior season with knee injury and played in six games as a senior — but he's ranked a top-50 cornerback in the nation by some outlets. Originally committed to Boise State. Ranked the No. 44 cornerback prospect by Rivals.com.
Drew Lewis, LB, 6-2, 200, Sammamish/Eastlake: Lewis had hinted at wanting to be a Husky all along, but when Steve Sarkisian left for USC, his status became cloudy. He stuck with UW and should be a good fit with his speed at the linebacker position. His father, Will, played corner for the Seattle Seahawks in the 1980s, and his brother, Ryan, is a cornerback at the University of Pittsburgh.
Kaleb McGary, DL, 6-7, 285, Fife: A testament to his athletic ability: He played tight end at Fife this year. "Big Country" was considered to have big upside at offensive tackle, but UW is listing him along the defensive line. McGary was considered the No. 2 recruit in the state behind Bellevue's Budda Baker.
Jojo McIntosh, S, 6-1, 195, Canyon Country, Calif./Chaminade Prep: He is listed as a safety but has the coverage skills of a cornerback. In the Pac-12, heavy with spread offenses (think Oregon), there is never a shortage of demand for cover safeties.
Dante Pettis, WR, 6-1, 175, San Clemente, Calif./Junipero Serra: Pettis has the right genes. His father, Gary Pettis, played 11 seasons in Major League Baseball, winning five Gold Gloves. His cousin is Boise State's all-time leader in receptions and receiving touchdowns, Austin Pettis, who Petersen said is the best wide receiver he has ever coached. Dante caught 50 passes for 889 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior.
Drew Sample, TE, 6-5, 235, Bellevue/Newport: The top-ranked tight end in the state of Washington was a Best of the Rest among Northwest Nuggets. Originally committed to Petersen at Boise State, then followed him to UW.
Jesse Sosebee, OL, 6-6, 300, Garden Grove, Calif./Edison: Sosebee is big (see "Height" and "Weight") and athletic for an offensive lineman. He was the Sunset League Offensive Lineman of the Year as a senior at Edison.
John Turner, OL, 6-4, 275, Los Angeles/Loyola: Turner took his official visit to UW last weekend and decided to call it his future home. The Huskies have developed somewhat of a pipeline to Loyola, which also brought them Colin Tanigawa four years ago and Coleman Shelton last year.
Tristan Vizcaino, K/P, 6-2, 195, Chino Hills, Calif./Damien: Vizcaino is a versatile specialist. He can kick and punt, and earned third-team all-state from CalHiSports.com, converting 15 field goals in 21 attempts with a long of 47 yards in three seasons at Damien. Was 9-for-12 with a long of 40 as a senior.
Lavon Washington, S , 5-11, 180, Oakland, Calif./McClymonds: Washington had his sights set on Washington for a while and never wavered, making UW his school Wednesday. His coach at McClymonds, Michael Peters, is the father of current Huskies cornerback Marcus Peters. Had 83 tackles and four interceptions his senior season.

What are the Symptoms of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis?
Osteopenia and osteoporosis are called "silent" diseases because patients often experience no symptoms until the diseases have caused significant damage. Normally, patients with osteoporosis notice no changes as their bones become thinner with time, even as their risk of "fragility fractures" increases. Often, it's not until a sudden trip or fall causes a break that osteoporosis is discovered.
When detected and treated early, however, osteoporosis is highly preventable. Learn more about how to prevent osteoporosis.
Osteopenia is a condition of low bone mineral density (BMD) that has not yet become low enough to be classified as osteoporosis.

I am very disappointed with my recent purchase of this mattress pad. Nowhere on the packaging, mattress pad or paperwork did it refer to "Beautyrest", nor did it indicate any type of brand. It came wrapped in cheap plastic with no indication as to what I had purchased. I decided to keep it because I figured I was getting what I paid for and it is used on a guest bed. I also didn't want to go through the hassle of shipping a $xx item back to Overstock. But if you say it's a Beautyrest, it should be Beautyrest. This is the first time I have been disappointed with an Overstock purchase and I have bought many things from bedding to chandeliers but buyer beware on this item.
Fits perfectly over my mattress and a 4 inch memory foam.
Quality was not what I was expecting, given the name "Beautyrest.' But it doesn't say "Beautyrest" on label and I would probably have done better at a white sale at a major store.
The only problem is it is not quite deep enough to encompass my mattress plus the 3 inch foam I bought from you. It does fit, but just barely. It was my fault that I did not check to see if the product would be deep enough.
Very soft and fits over mattress and stays put do to the deep pockets. I am very happy with my purchase.
nice pad, fits well, does the job, shipped fast, excellent price
I was concerned that the pockets would not be deep enough for my mattress and 4" topper, but it fit really well. Had enough room to tuck all the long edges, too.
The product covers the mattress with an adequate fit. Nothing special to recommend it.
I bought this for our spare bed but the company that come to stay the night says it's nice. With the 2" gel memory foam and this pad, they say it's alot more comfortable to sleep on.
Six months and a few washings later the fabric has come apart in some places along the quilting lines. The back and sides are made of a material similar, but thiner, to that used for some reusable shopping bags, a sort of plastic felt.

Pauls Valley, Oklahoma —
While it could very well be impossible to find many examples of my life where I am ever 100 percent serious, there was a tiny period of time where I found things more interesting than my sense of humor. Perhaps as a way to prevent themselves from being insane 24-hours a day with a hyperactive child, my parents desperately sought as many ways as possible to keep my mind occupied.
As you may imagine, if I found something even the slightest bit interesting that would not cause calamity, they would encourage me to participate in the activity as often as possible. One of those interests was playing the piano and for seven years I pursued music ambition. However, my skills as a classical pianist got set aside as other interests developed in High School and as far as I was concerned, that chapter in my life was a memory.
I must have missed the notice, but apparently coming to Pauls Valley was the key to reviving the connection to that instrument and all through a musical where one of the six main characters is a boy who is known for his piano skills. I didn't even know if Tim Smith, member of Pauls Valley Art Council who is directing the play, would have a role for me when I made the late decision to try out for "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown."
If I would have said I related to any character growing up, it would have been the round headed kid who could never kicked a football and was picked on like in that oldies song of the same name. Then again, perhaps it is poetic that I got cast as Schroeder to remind me that I also knew way more than most kids about guys like Ludwig van Beethoven and encountered girls who liked me (though none of them named Lucy) when I wasn't quite ready to settle down. Of course, it will be a not quite a peer project, being that I am at least a foot taller and about ten years older than the rest of the cast.
Other than myself, Samantha Robb of Main Street was the only other person not still living with their parents that tried out for a part. I certainly was glad to comfort her in that fact, though I will have to limit my Ezra Mann and the five dwarves jokes until after the play is done in November.
I know I shouldn't even feel that old since most people my age are just beginning to get the hang of their careers, but when my fellow actors aren't far removed from Elmo and relate the most with TV shows like "Glee" or Justin Bieber I may be slipping behind sooner than I thought I would. Still, the group of kids selected to perform along side me are a good bunch, who have an opportunity to further put Garvin County on the map. Besides, it's not every day that people get to hear me speak in a pitch that hasn't been normal for my vocal chords since I was in eighth grade (it works for the person still playing Harry Potter).
The one thing that will require the biggest leap for me in this musical is the loss of something that has given me the rugged appearance I've become well known for. A sacrifice worthy of a ceremony and grieving period for some, will be the removal of my sacred beard.
Since I first began my quest for facial haired awesomeness, I have shaved off the beard only a handful of times, the most recent time a jaw dropping shock for those I met in college and beyond. Yet, I shall bid mount scruffy farewell for a couple of weeks and who knows, perhaps it will mean a whole new realm of beardless activities like Elvis Impersonator or stunt double for Vin Diesel. Though I don't think either celebrity will make an appearance in the show at the Pauls Valley High School Auditorium November 18-20.

Lucky for all of us, this parade did, and the 125 Langston University students who comprise the band are as thrilled as you should — and will — be.
"They're excited. This is something new and they're definitely looking forward to it," Birden said. "We'll do what we can to entertain you folks. Hopefully we can set a precedent."
Just what does the marching band intend to do in order to set that bar high?
"We definitely will do some appropriate music for the occasion. This is a very energetic group of young students. We play a wide variety, a wide genre of music. Within that small route, we plan on trying to entertain as many people as possible," he said. "I think all marching bands have a uniqueness about them. I think the one thing that makes Langston a little bit different probably has a lot to do with the fact that we tend to be a little more show style-oriented and a little more crowd-pleasing."

An inside look at the hidden side of marketing, PR and strategy.
You may be curious about the rash of hugely popular, negative pre-IPO stories about Facebook in the last few days. If you weren't, think about them: Eduardo Saverin withdrawing his US citizenship. NPR's Facebook stunt with a pizza company. My story about Facebook advertising was the top read story on Forbes and did more than 65,000 views in 24 hours.
The same thing happened to Groupon's IPO. And LinkedIn and basically any IPO. The media rushes to write not only negative, but usually highly speculative or controversial pieces about the company that is about making its lucrative offering. Why? I'll tell you, it's not just about capturing a popular SEO-trend. The real reason is much more insidious. It all comes down to exploiting a single fact: the reporter has complete freedom to write the "facts" however they want while the company is gagged by the SEC's quiet period regulations.
From the SEC's guidelines:
"a quiet period extends from the time a company files a registration statement with the SEC until SEC staff declare the registration statement "effective." During that period, the federal securities laws limit what information a company and related parties can release to the public. The failure to comply with these restrictions generally is referred to as "gun-jumping."
That's right. The media, from bloggers to the New York Times, love pre-IPO stories because they can be as one-sided as they like. The reporters get to do the "gun-jumping" because the company is legally prohibited from the role. Think about it: all the negative Facebook stories I mentioned technically could have been written some time ago. Saverin renounced his citizenship months ago, Facebook has long been overvalued. My story, which some might call similarly timed, was actually only in response to a story published by the New York Times which dropped the "bombshell" that Facebook ads don't work (my response: They've never worked). It's not a coincidence that they were written now.
The worst part is that the types of stories that scream out to be written and broken when the subject cannot respond are precisely the types of stories that cannot be taken back. The scandals, the controversies, and the shocking announcements spread so quickly. They stick too easily. And the subject is obligated, essentially, to just bend over and take it—often at the cost of millions or potentially, billions of dollars.
Look at the NPR story which paid a small pizza pop up shop to run Facebook ads and then reported on the poor showing. What's missing? There isn't a single quote from anyone at Facebook. Nor are there the fingerprints of a PR person on the story, correcting its subtle inaccuracies and steering the story in a fair direction. (For instance, it says their "ads went viral" because they did 700,000 views. Um, that's what you paid for, NPR. That's not "going viral.")
Those quotes and influence usually have the effect of neutralizing the press and bloggers. It allows Facebook or any company to get its perspective across and to prevent the reporter's impulse—the one that pushes them to post the most interesting story possible, not the most true story possible—from running out of control. But in the silent period, these inhibitions are gone and companies become defenseless targets.
A quick scan of all the press about Facebook today confirms this. It is a bunch of semi-informed bloggers and reporters outbidding each other to write the most extreme, most negative (or delusionally positive), more clickable and spreadable stories about Facebook that they can. Because they know that Facebook cannot respond and the reporter is not slowed down or obligated to wait for this response.
This kind of journalism, fed by controversy, rumors, and titillating scandals, is a beast that gives no quarter. Those who have never been on the other side of this equation don't realize that it is precisely in situations like a scandal, an IPO, a lawsuit, or a tragic event that the subjects of the story are least able to communicate with the press. Legal reasons may preclude commenting publicly; SEC rules forbid speaking with the press; personal shame or simply the overwhelming nature of dealing with the event may make it impossible to response to every single media inquiry immediately. It is with the stories upon which we most need to tread lightly, to speak carefully on behalf of those who cannot speak, that bloggers are unwilling to do so, because it is not in their interest. And it's extra scary to think that journalists actually relish the opportunity when the standards of their profession are relaxed.
Forcing someone to bite their tongue while others spread preposterously untrue allegations is the worst kind of torture. (Ask yourself why lawyers like to time class action lawsuits around public offerings. Answer: leverage). When the the accusations inevitably turn out to be wrong (or have less than the whole story), the subjects find themselves asking the same question that wrongly disgraced former United States secretary of labor Ray Donovan asked the court when he was acquitted of false charges that ruined his career: "Which office do I go to to get my reputation back?"
Unfortunately, there is no office. Who knows where Facebook is supposed to go to be reimbursed for the cost of the flurry of deliberately timed negative stories right before its stock was available to the public? Who knows what it ultimately could or did cost them? I feel my conscience is clear with my story—however unexpectedly popular it turned out to be—because it was based on direct professional experience and written long before Facebook announced an IPO. Others, I'm not so sure. All I know is that it's scary to think that it isn't Facebook that is manipulating the media for profit and gain, it's the media that is.

I'm sorry, but I can't agree with your general position here. Facebook and its shareholders just raked in $16 billion of the public's hard-earned dollars. This is the third-biggest U.S. IPO of all time. You write as it if was a giant bust. They are now valued at $100 billion, about 2.5x HP, a company with 320,000 employees. They are valued at 2x the valuation of Boeing. They have a considerably larger valuation than Comcast, which is: the largest cable company; the largest ISP; the owner of a wide assortment of television broadcast and cable channels; and the operator of popular theme parks. Sorry, but Facebook deserves intense scrutiny, and right before the IPO is precisely the time when EVERYONE should be turning over every rock. (BTW, do you actually think the question of whether, say, one billionaire decides to give up his citizenship for tax reasons was a story that impacted the stock price? Just askin'.)
Weak sauce. When you write "we aren't the undecided investing audience that could have swung this stock on its first day." you're really coasting on fumes, either that or attempting to patronize/con your audience. You don't mean "undecided", you mean uninformed or ignorant.
Whether Facebook ads work or will work in the future I don't know and have zero insight but I do know that no retail investor should buy any IPO valued at 108 BILLION when the Q1 Revenue of said IPO is only 1 Billion. It doesn't matter what sort of potential it has, it's a highly speculative, toxic tender, end of story.
I think the media did they're job here, for once, and I'm delighted that many retail investors weren't taken in by the immense hype and heeded the many warnings about buying into the next big thing…
Just take a look at the stock price right now to see what the big boys thought of the IPO pricing – you suggest that the "undecided" investors could have built this up ? I don't think so, and if they could it would only be until the inevitable earnings miss crushes the price and completely fleeces them. Yeah, I know, a fool and his money but it's not your money to lose – and it's a perfect example of what is wrong with Wall Street.

Game set for April 19 at 3 p.m.
Both coaches satisfied with depth and talent
NIU coach Dave Doeren, CMU coach Dan Enos and NIU players
Week 9 football press conference with Head coach Rod Carey and players Perez Ford, Matt Krempel and Dechane Durante.
Highlights from the Huskies historic 55-24 win over the Boilermakers at Ross-Ade Stadium.
NIU rallied for a 30-27 victory over Iowa Saturday.
The word consistency gets thrown around quite a bit in football. On both offense and defense, the coaching staff stresses the importance of consistent play. Yet, for Northern Illinois' specialists, the term takes on a slightly different meaning. For them, consistency also means having three highly-experienced individuals handling three underappreciated jobs.
Highlights from the Huskies historic game
2012: Redshirted as a true freshman.
High School: Earned second team all-conference honors as a senior while playing tight end, linebacker and long snapper. Caught four passes for 49 yards and one touchdown. Forced five fumbles, recovered three fumbles, broke up four passes and grabbed two interceptions in 2011. Helped XHS to an Eastern Valley Conference title each of his three seasons. Voted by his teammates as the athlete with the hardest work ethic as a senior. Ranked as one of the nation's best long snappers by the Kohl's Long-Snapping Camp.
Personal: Born Aug. 31, 1993, in Appleton, Wis. Son of Phil and Victoria Ramlet. Communications studies major. Grandfather played at South Dakota State and brother plays for Minnesota.

Fair Park, in partnership with the Upper Cumberland Development District and the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency, is distributing transportation vouchers to seniors aged 60 and older in the city of Crossville. These vouchers will provide free, round-trip transportation to and from the center on Mondays and Wednesdays to take part in group activities, educational programs and a healthful lunch.
Senior centers are among the most widely used services among America's older adults, serving more than one million older Americans every day. Although many seniors remain active and independent, there is a very real need to provide opportunities for those seniors who are unable to drive, need access to daily nutritious meals, as well as encouraging fellowships among their peers and activities to keep them active and healthy. These vouchers will provide the access to these services to give them an incentive and the means to leave their homes and join in community activities.
If you or someone you know in your community could benefit from these free transportation vouchers, contact Fair Park Senior Center at 484-7416 for more information on obtaining these vouchers and a schedule of activities.

Hello all, I have a 1989 GMC Jimmy 4X4 with a 5.7L. I bought it last fall from a kid that did some work to it, but I am having to go through it and double check what I can. I have put less than 100 miles on it so far, but who knows how many miles the truck has on it; The truck has ALOT of rust, especially holes in the body tub. This doesn't bother me because this is my beach/fishing truck; so I may just glass over the holes to reinforce the floor. I do have some questions though. This truck has had a rough life. Question #1: Can I easily switch both front windows as well as the back window from power to manual? Question #2: Can I switch from solid back side windows to sliding easily? Question #3: Well, this is really an electrical issue that I am wondering if anyone else can shed some light on. I know I have a short and know how frustrating they can be. The previous owner replaced the alternator just before I bought the truck (this may be relevant, so I figured I'd mention that). I replaced the battery 5-6 weeks ago because the last one died (not to mention it was way to big to fit totally on the battery tray, and it was held in with a bungee cord and looked like they found it in a junk yard. Then I started the truck last week after it had been sitting a week or two. It sounded like it was a bit slow to start, but I figured it was since it had been sitting for a bit. I drove it about 5 miles to my destination. When I came out the battery was dead and the truck would only "click" when trying to start the truck. I got a jump and began to drive home; after about 4 miles I was driving at 50 mph and everything electrical in the truck INSTANTLY died as well as the engine. After that nothing electrical would respond. After about 15-20 minutes it went back to "clicking" when the key was turned. The weird thing was that I could hear the fuel pump running the ENTIRE time (except when the key was being held in the "start" position); even when I turned the ignition off and removed the key the fuel pump would keep running, so I disconnected the positive lead from the battery. After being towed the last mile back home, I began to look closely at the wires under the hood. I taped up 5 or 6 wires that had copper showing and could have shorted to something; and charged the battery, fastened it in better than a bungee cord and put some insulator caps on the battery posts since the previous owner switched it to a top post battery (just incase it was arcing to the hood or top radiator cross member). I also fixed a wire that the previous owner had tried to fix but the butt connector came right off with a slight bump. This was a wire that connects to the top of the alternator. The connector that has 3 wires, but only one is used. The truck started fine but I have only had a chance to drive it a hundred yards or so. Long story short, I have fixed what I could see, but does the fuel pump running constantly like that sound familiar to anyone? Would that symptom narrow the cause to something I have not yet thought about? Question #4: Does anyone make something like a floor pan / floor board liner or insert that can be glued in to seal rust holes? Sorry to be long winded, but I wanted to give as much info as possible. If anyone knows any of these answers, I would greatly appreciate it (especially questions 3 and 1).

I apologize but I didn't read anything you placed in bold. Reason? Lack of paragraphs. I just can't slog through a wall of text like that. Too painful...
