Cheetah Exam Prep
for the PMP®

Here to Read one Cheetah Alumni's day by day story of taking the Cheetah PMP
Exam Prep course
"If you had
charged me $10,000 for this, I would have been happy to pay it. This was the
best course I ever took. PERIOD." -
PMP, Project Manager – Jade Kat Project Management Inc. (Ottawa, Canada)
"Just a
note to let you know I passed the PMP exam with an 84%! I cannot imagine
being able to study for and pass the PMP exam in so short a time were it not
for your class. I seriously doubted whether the information required to pass
the PMP exam could be covered and digested in only four days. I reasoned,
however, that since you offer a money-back guarantee, there was little risk
in taking a chance. It was so much easier to buy knowing that it was only a
week out of my life, and if I didn't pass, I would get all of my money back.
The real proof of your class was that I passed the test and with an 84%, no
less. I was impressed with your system, your instructors and with the
results. It was results that I paid for, and it was results that your class
delivered. I will be recommending your class to every project manager I
know." -
PMP, CEO, Clickguide Inc.
"Well, not
even two weeks after receiving my PMP certification, I got a job offer! They
were looking for a PM consultant with PMI certification and that's the only
reason I got the interview! So, I start a 20-month contract with Blue
Cross/Blue Shield right here in Denver on Monday. The pay is good, and they're
thrilled they're getting [someone with] a PMP certification. (It was a
30-minute phone interview, and I got an offer the next day – not even a
face-to-face meeting, unheard of in this job market!) I want to thank you for
all your help and support. I'm convinced that I'd be in the same place I was a
month ago (no job and no prospects) if it weren't for your class!! Kudos to
you and your team!" -
PMP – Project Manager
finally took the Cheetah class with Vikram Bala and am now a PMP. Going in the
class, I was convinced I would not pass due to the huge amount of personal
stress I am in -dealing with a possible separation and custody issues. Mr. Bala
was an outstanding coach who was able to get me focused and motivated. Hats off
to your program. The next training class I take will be with Cheetah!" -
New PMP
was expecting an intense experience and was not disappointed. It is very obvious
Paul Michio is a PMI/PMP expert and his concern for his students and passion for
the topic matches his expertise." - New PMP
instructor, Jeff Allen, was in a word, AWESOME! Wow, what a great teacher. His
passion for the subject matter was evident. I could tell he loves what he does.
Jeff interacted with the class very well and did a great job of "controlling"
the class. He was very professional in everything he did, including handling
questions from people, and his willingness to listen and provide constructive
criticism, helpful hints, or advice. Jeff created and maintained an environment
that was conducive to learning. I felt like Jeff cared about each and every one
of us, and he truly wanted to see each of us succeed and pass the exam, and that
is huge. I appreciate that."

and Mike are in the top 1% of all of the instructors I have learned from in my
60 years on the planet.'
What was most valuable to you about the course?: 'The professionalism of the
What recommendations would you
make to improve the course?: 'I cant think of any offhand.' - New PMP
What was the most valuable part of the course?:
'Learning about memory mapping, and the role eating protein has on brain
power...helped in taking the PMP exam - and the practice exams emphasized the
material, and also familiarized me with the format of the exam.' - New PMP
'Really good opportunity and class, and since I passed the exam, I am now one of the many satisfied customers! Thanks!.' - New PMP
"As a voice-communications consultant for a major
telecommunications consulting organization, project management
skills are critical. In today's environment, clients demand
highly qualified consultants with PMP certification
credentials. Cheetah Learning's Online PMP Exam Prep course
provided the tools necessary to help me pass the PMP exam on
my first try. With the course focus on the essential and most
frequently tested areas of project management, I was able to
maximize study efforts while working in a timeframe compatible
with my busy schedule. Thank you, Cheetah!" -
PMP, Partner Consulting
"I think the four-week prep course is very well done; the
Webinars are great, combined with the mind mapping and
practice tests. Integrating that with the instructor support
and feedback – it's a great online course. It kept me moving
along, and it was easy to do small chunks of content when
you had a little time. Thanks again for helping me learn and
prepare! I learned a ton!" -
are doing an outstanding job ... keep doing what you are doing."
I really like these on-line classes. I can travel quite a bit and it can be
difficult to make local PMI meetings or attend local classes. As you know, it is
very important to keep the PDU's in order to retain PMP status. I know some PM's
who end up rushing to take classes to remain current….." -
"I called Cheetah Learning at a time that most organizations were
on holiday leave. It was not a major holiday, but the day after and I
did not expect a response until the following week. Needless to say, I
was surprised to hear back from Rita at Cheetah Learning just a couple
of hours later. I was even more pleased at the customer service I
received from Rita. She listened to my dilemma and genuinely expressed
care and concern on my behalf. We discussed options that Cheetah
Learning could provide, and I decided to go forth with training. I
wouldn't have the time to spread the class out in its entirety, but
could work with the materials at my own pace, and I would have a live
instructor to monitor my progress and assist in areas where I needed a
"Despite some delays in starting the class, Rita and her team
pulled together to help and assist in every way they could. When I
finally started the class, I was able to hit the ground running because
of the Cheetah team preparations."
"I swiftly made it through the class, learned MANY topics and
materials that were new to me, and PASSED THE TEST!"
"I can say with confidence that Cheetah Learning, and the
strategies they teach, helped me pass this test!! Thank you, Rita, and
the rest of the team at Cheetah Learning!!!" - T. Gibson, PMP, Program
Cheetah PMI-ACP® (Agile) Exam Prep Online Program
"The course material was well organized and the tests helped reinforce the concepts. The instructor was extremely helpful in answering questions and coaching me!" -
Cheetah Certified Project Manager (CCPM)
I dealt with at Cheetah was absolutely wonderful! I will certainly look to take more classes
with you!"
"I liked the exercises. They helped solidify the information in the books and gave me real examples that
I could use. The exercises also made me really look at myself and how i was approaching project management."
What was the most valuable part of the course?:
"The overall methodology: clear, organized, simple to implement."
"I was amazed that course went far beyond project management. There were some beneficial life lessons embedded in the course as well. I would recommend the course to anyone who needs a fresh approach to life in general."
PM Strength Builder
"I really liked
the feedback about how to improve my PM skills by strengthening the areas of my
style that are not as robust as other areas – in other words, to create PM
improvement by self-improvement." -
"I was a bit
surprised by the content of the course as it was more personalized to me than
I anticipated." -
appreciated the nice comments from Linda and the ideas she shared in following
up on my final assignments. She gave me some good ideas that I can start using
immediately." -
happy with this course." -
course was far more stimulating than I anticipated when I registered. Thanks!"
done two online courses late this year to complete my 60 PDUs, the other from a
well known provider, and this course was much better ... I actually got
something out of it, rather than just spending the time going through the
motions. Thanks." -
how my personality can impact how I lead projects. I never thought of it that
way, but I have found myself already taking different tasks in different ways
now that I have thought deeper about it." -
Cheetah Project Management
"Barb did an
excellent job of communicating and provided feedback that helped me make
better use of the class. I was glad to see that this was not a
canned-response, online course." -
truly believe in order for a person to be an effective project manager they must
have the ability to execute the plan...training modules which teach the
discipline behind executing and staying on task will be beneficial. I enjoyed
this class!!!" -
really enjoyed this online class. You have successfully squashed my previous
opinion of online courses." -
"I was
very pleased with the responses from the course instructor and the timely manner
in which they were completed." -
Cheetah Negotiations
"Thank you,
Michelle. This class is really outstanding. I appreciate the collection of
material that was absolutely new and extremely helpful to me – the thinking
hats, the 6 influences, the negotiation tactics, the permission-based
questions. And by the way, this Cheetah course helped me to achieve something
that I failed in my summer PMP exam prep class: I completely gave up coffee
and caffeinated sodas more than a month ago. Although the placebo effect of
high-protein nutrition bars wore off quickly, giving up the major source of
caffeine did make a big difference for me." -
"It was
a good effective course with lots of valuable information.." - B. M.
activities within each module were both challenging and enlightening,
providing me with the opportunity to explore different options as I progressed
through the exercises." -
- you guys are good!" -
well structured course. The forms and documents to be completed before a
negotiation will come in very handy and will be beneficial in future
negotiations. Thank you!" -
course puts you in total control of the the negotiation processes. If you follow
all of the modules you will reach the best possible outcome for all."
taken a couple of Negotiations classes before, but this one was completely
different. The assignments were totally applicable to real-life situations - it
wasn't theory. I must say that I enjoyed and learned a lot from every module in
this class."
was such a great class – especially that I am in the middle of tough
negotiations for (my current project). The good news is that we will probably
get what we need to make the project a success! I am going to talk about
highlights of the class with my team at my next staff meeting. There were was
so much practical and ready to use advice in the program."
took the "Cheetah Negotiations" class during a very turbulent time in a
business partnership. I was working with someone very difficult, but we HAD
to work together or the partnership would have to dissolve. By using the
techniques I learned, I was able to successfully negotiate so that we both
got what we needed monetarily and validation-wise from the partnership."
Amy E.
was the most valuable part of the course?:
"The overall methodology: clear, organized,
simple to implement."
Project Turnaround
thanks goes out to Michelle and her staff for offering this course to me,
particularly at this present time. I find not only the material, the staff and
structure at Cheetah one of utmost Professionalism but a company in tune with
the PMP's needs. You can be sure that I will be one of your biggest promoters
that Cheetah Project Management will ever have. Much thanks to all of you!!!!" -
course. I love the application orientation (as opposed to abstract theory,
"GI/GO". Thank you very much. I have already begun changes to my thinking and my
liked the 'be strong' module. It helped to motivate me out of a seemingly
desperate situation.'
Other topics you'd like to see in a course?: 'Dealing with difficult people with
a new twist.'
Other Comments?: 'Very professional training material. It was well worth the
course was one of the best learning experiences I've had in a long time. I wish
everyone knew about this course and would take it - what a great place life
would be! Thanks Cheetah!"
conceptual and insightful. I'd recommend this to several members of my team."
had no idea when I registered that this class was about project turnaround --
and the project was me. But I absolutely LOVED this course. Learned a lot and am
motivated with a new approach!"
"It helped me understand what I had, and what I had not been doing with it!"
"This course has really re-energized me – I am very excited about my
future possibilities. It also taught me to work through a dream with rational
analysis until it is "the plan", not a dream."
"Great class and has powered a turnaround!"
"Thanks to Jean for
her support during the project. I was torn on if I liked being surprised by the
fact that the online course was about me. At first having to do an exercise that
required multiple people and pulling my personal details was surprising, but in
the end I think it was worth it."
"I really appreciated how the concepts in this course applied to
personal as well as business aspects of my life. I mixed them up as part of the
exercises. It gave me real insight and perspective on what is really important
in my life and what isn't, and what to do about making positive changes."
What was the most valuable part of the course? "Using my life and your
techniques to learn. This is my first course since the prep course. I look
forward to taking more."
"This was my first Cheetah class and I enjoyed it. Look forward to others to
maintain my PMP
"I really enjoyed the course. I can certainly apply many of the concepts in my life to achieve my goals."
What was the most valuable part of the course?: "The opportunity to assess where I am in my life and realize that I am at a cross roads and need to figure out what I want to do next. It also provided tools for this assessment and much more."
"This was a thought inspiring course. It lead me to finding my
life's purpose. I am amazed!"
Communicating Through Conflict
"I've greatly
enjoyed putting the techniques learned in "Communicating Through Conflict" to
use in my daily interactions with customers, project staff, and my kids.
Whether you are a project manager or a parent, it's the most valuable piece of
knowledge in the world, to understand how to deal with difficult people in
difficult situations. These lessons really do give you the skills you need to
turn bad situations into productive ones. And the advantage of an online
offering means nobody has to struggle without me for long periods of time.
Thanks, Cheetah!" -
enjoyed the interaction with Leslie - she did an excellent job helping with the
lessons and giving encouragement." -
"I have
never done an online course before and I think this one had great value. Iv
heard of other online seminars that people really disliked but this one being
self paced worked perfectly for me. In spite of a major change in my work load
since starting the course I was able to complete on time by having the ability
to focus on my job when I needed to and then get back to the course." -
for PM's to enhance their communication skills." -
found that I was focusing practicing the techniques in work situations, but not
at home and with friends. I have started embracing them in those situations (as
seen in my exercises) and they work great! They even work on a 13 year old
girl! I will also use the techniques in coaching and mentoring my team to help
them navigate difficult situations.
I have
learned quite a bit. I come across a few very difficult people on a regular
basis. Before using the techniques, I dreaded the conversations, especially
those when I knew I was delivering bad news. By using the techniques, these
conversations have been much easier, greatly reducing my stress level before
having the meetings." -
colleague was quite surprised as to how positively people seemed to react to the
techniques. With many organizations in a major state of change, so many of the
managers that I deal with need to assert their values and opinions on how things
should fall out. Many disagreements have come out of this state of change.
However, when we started using the techniques in meetings where we needed
multiple parties to come to agreement, it worked very well to keep the meeting
stream moving without a lot of disruption or agreement…and…this all happened
WHILE taking the course!"
"...The purpose of taking this class is to gain experience and a
certification toward a career in project management, but the exercises that I
have learned in this particular course have already been applied in other
aspects of the life. I have been able to work out compromises with my teenage
daughter, taken part in group discussions that involved sensitive issues, and I
have been able to keep a friendship more "friendly" because of these simple but
effective exercises. Obviously anything learned with the purpose of improving
business relations can be used in other relationships as well...." -
"Barb did an
excellent job of assembling a no nonsense yet comprehensive set of documents
and straight forward processes that allow any firm to get their Project
Portfolio management up and running in weeks. I found this approach leverages
the strength of the PMBOK with precision. The process was quickly adopted by
my company." -
was very timely with feedback. Very much enjoyed the online learning experience,
material, etc." -
"Great course
& instructor. Cheetah customer service is top of the line!" -
"Good course
and the instructor (Kelly) was very proactive and gave excellent guidance."
"Course was
very well organized and followed a logical flow that I was able to apply to my
current job." -
Enterprise Project Management
"The proposal that I gave to
my senior vice president was approved! I go to Europe in two weeks to begin
work on implementation as he wants me to start right away! Just HAD to send to
you, and thought you might be interested in seeing it, and of course, I am
proud of the work. I wanted you to see that I actually learned something!
(smile) Thanks." -
"Enjoyed it more than I
thought I would.." -
"Great course. I really
enjoy the programs Cheetah has to offer." -
"I would like to thank
Barbara for always responding promptly and accurately to my e-mails and giving
me the necessary motivation to keep going. I hope I can do another course for
the next set of PDU's. Thanks Barb." -
"Thanks for making 35
PDU's so convenient!" -
Building Your Consulting Practice
"I can truly
say that Cheetah Learning's "Building Your Consulting Practice" course has
been transformational for me. I took the course on a whim, not really
committed to the idea of starting my own business, and came out the other end
with a fledgling business and three clients! The instructor was engaging,
responsive and made sure I got value from the course by making me work
through, rather than skate past, the hard parts." -
Helped me to gain better focus and understanding on what part of my business to
build/expand." -
"Thank you!
Peter was very helpful, encouraging and supportive. He did an excellent job.."
"I am so
impressed by the whole company. I never ran into a snag or hitch and everyone
made the whole experience great. I've learned so much that I'm truly looking
forward to my next class with you. Thank you."
entire course was very valuable. However, the instructor feedback exceeds the
general course value."
On Par Project Management
"Great course. I will
remember taking this one for many years to come. It really made taking a
Project Management course more than just fun – I looked forward to it! The
instructor was wonderful." -
"Chris, was an amazing
guide on the PM process and an expert. So to review it again with good resource,
made a big difference. Great instructor!!!" -
"Thoroughly enjoyed
the course. Many thanks to my Instructor." -
"I really enjoyed the
course. My golf game has improved were I won two tournaments while doing the
course (that itself says volumes). My PM skills have been reinforced or
relearned. I have learned other valuable skills like meetings, communications,
and schedule, cost, and effort tracking with MS project. I would highly
recommend this course to all my golfing PMP colleagues." -
"Outstanding course. I
significantly underestimated the amount of my time that the course would
require. In my mind, that is a true measure of a good course. It combined the
enjoyment of playing golf with the challenges of successfully running a project.
Well done Cheetah!" -
PM Scorecard - Making Meaningful PM Performance
"Overall an excellent
course. Promoting the use of metrics in managing projects will enhance the PM
profession." -
"Several of the
exercises were very good. They made me think more about the perspectives of
people in different roles - the stakeholder, customers, team members, etc.. Plus
the emphasis on measuring Project Management performance was good - our current
form is long and we don't do it consistently." -
"Made my look into the
tools that my company offered and found a great deal more then I thought I had.
It also made me look at how I was running some of projects and see where
improvements are needed." -
performance is an excellent topic. I do not recall seeing many courses on this
topic. How a PM performs and measures performance is key to my organization, and
I will be able to carry forward in mentoring others in good surveys, useful
measures, and how to better demonstrate improvements from the feedback."
Project Home Improvement
"Actual use of actual PM
tools and techniques on a short-term project with almost instantaneous
feedback on your inputs to Cheetah Learning." -
"Since my latest
promotion, I no longer work as a project manager. My duties are more managerial
than project oriented. However, I continue to use project management techniques
in my daily duties. This course provided me the opportunity to re-visit the
entire PMBOK process which is very helpful." -
"It was a fun way to
refresh my project mgmt knowledge. In my experience, if you can make learning
fun it will stick with you for a long time." -
"Jean was very
courteous and "kind" with her comments. I could definitely read into her
comments where I needed to improve. Thank you, Jean." -
"Great course. I
consider myself a veteran project manager but I learned some very basic concepts
from this course that I can apply in my projects today." -
"This was a fun course
and I learned a lot. being self-paced was a benefit while juggling work and
family life." -
"This was a great
course that I've already begun recommending to colleagues and friends." -
course made me get back to some of the basics of project management that I can
sometimes bypass in the real world. It emphasizes the need for all areas." -
great Cheetah course!" -
Project Risk Management
was an excellent learning experience. It was the 'catalyst' to carefully review
my company's policies & procedures (again). It has certainly defined areas where
I can personally & professionally improve. And John's feedback was both quick
and insightful."
"The online course and web
access was well-designed. Uploading assignments was reliable and worked well.
John was very responsive and answered all my questions. The tests reminded me of
the PMP exam and kept me focused." -
"Excellent instructor.
Extremely rapid assignment feedback." -
"Barb was fantastic. I
struggled with the first module because I did not understand the expectations of
the course. Barb helped me understand expectations and kept me on track. I
appreciated her feedback and could tell she was reviewing the materials I
submitted." -
"Barb was awesome. I am
going to enroll in another course very soon!" -
Virtual Project Teams
"This course, in my case, achieved all objectives and, I believe, one
greater deliverable: one more experience on my self-educational learning
It was a great experience, and I just can say thanks to my instructor Jean
Steinmetz, PMP, and wish more students believe as I do.
And one more thing:
Lots of persons just forget to read books, due to new Internet and other
technologies. I experienced much better learning results when alone, after
all daily mind crow, in the evening, I took the book, and in silence read
and learned about other persons experiences.
Combination of directed and objective-oriented courses and willingly chosen
experience taken independently can result in GREAT FUEL.
again, thanks to Jean and all of Cheetah (in my case VIRTUAL
"In my opinion the most
valuable part of the course is applying a complete, concise and easy to
use project management methodology (via the templates) to a personal
project. Many times in professional endeavors a reduced set of
documentation is used, and thus only a partial project management
methodology is implemented. This course was a nice reminder of using a
complete methodology and how to document as such.
"Jean is a very smart,
personable, and supportive instructor. Considering how much I have
going in my life and that my original schedule for this class was
compromised due to a few unforeseen "curveballs", I really appreciated
Jeans positive attitude, understanding, and support in keeping me moving
until I completed the course. Jean is awesome!" - A. H.
"Checking in my
homework was effective as a tool to apply the material and receive
feedback." - B. D.
"Using a real life situation for the project was
great and helped me toward achieving a personal goal.
"My instructor, Jean, was very helpful - I hope to
have her as an instructor again! I will definitely sign up for more
Cheetah courses. Some (courses) similar to this would be great." -
was most valuable? Applying PM skills to everyday life." -
"Enjoyed the effort and it help me
focus and succeed with my weight loss." -
"It was my first re-certification course
with Cheetah and I really enjoyed doing it. The instructor comments were
engaging and to the point." -
like courses that you can actually accomplish a real task/goal that help
you learn while getting something done."
"Kelly's insight was very valuable and help
me understand the course expectations."
liked the streamlined project management documents (project agreement,...). I
often find the documentation that various organizations come up with is too
cumbersome. I think the more straightforward the documents, the better they work
for communication." -
"Good class overall, good feedback from the
instructor, very happy with the results." -
"Easy to understand course material and clear
and precise feedback from Instructors."
"I really enjoyed the course. Thank you
Kelly and Cheetah!."
"Kelly was a great instructor. Very
responsive, very flexible and very helpful. I feel that I couldn't
have completed the course without her. Thank you Kelly for a great
learning experience! And Thank you Cheetah for a great online course.
I will definitely come to cheetah for future PM development needs;
and will refer friends as often as I can." -
"Jean is a very smart, personable, and
supportive instructor. Considering how much I have going in my life
and that my original schedule for this class was compromised due to
a few unforeseen "curveballs", I really appreciated Jeans positive
attitude, understanding, and support in keeping me moving until I
completed the course. Jean is awesome!"
"I really think that the course outline and
assignments are well thought out and quite relevant to, at least, what I do in
my daily work. Templates are easily managed and customized. I recommend Cheetah
Action Project to all PM professionals." -
"Jean was excellent. She answered every call,
reviewed work assignments and gave prompt feedback for every
submission. It was like she was in the office down the hall. I wish
I could get my remote workers to give their customers that kind of
presence. I will recommend this course to others for two reasons,
course content, and quality service." -
"I accomplished what I set out to and Cheetah
made it possible for me to improve my life while at the same time
earn my 60 PDU's." -
"Jean was an exceptional instructor and gave
me timely and consistent encouragement." -
"Cheetah really does a great job in
delivering meaningful content and feedback in an electronic format."
have had excellent experiences with Cheetah Learning. I will continue my
education with this organization."
"Since our company uses very few forms, this
course went quite fast for me. I can see how it would be much more
effective for a larger organization with more existing
processes/procedures." - D. P.
"This was a super course! Thank you!"
"I appreciate the PM tools/steps given.
Thanks Team Cheetah for creating them." -
"Very good course. Opened my eyes on how to
manage my cash flow." - C. P.

excellent experience. This is truly life changing stuff. Thanks Cheetah
Learning, a million thanks." -
"Developing a project plan for one of my long
held dreams really makes it seem attainable." - G. B.
"Great course!" -
think this course should be required for all high school students in
the US. The fundamentals taught are critical to life success. I've
done many of these activities on my own before the course but having
them packaged this way made it easier to build up on my learning. I
wish I had taken this course about 5 years ago. I would have gotten
these concepts learned a lot faster!"
was the most valuable part of the course? "Realization of how
powerfully our perceptions of money impact our lives".

aligned with what is currently going on in my life so the content
becomes another tool for me in my 'tool box'".

"This has been one of the best courses
I've taken so far. The ability to master the skills and apply them is invaluable. Thanks".

sales and marketing lifecycle." -

me to tailor the activities to address actual on-going work issues.
The course in its entirety is of great value to anyone in marketing."
through the course has been a very rewarding and exciting
journey. The AL course has brought together the foundational
principles into a cohesive whole. It enabled me to acquire the
necessary knowledge and skills to integrate the core elements of
AL design and implement them in real life. " - V. B., PMP
"The act of forcing reflection on activities
was also a good reminder about how beneficial this process is."
"Honestly the entire course was valuable. It
motivated me to tackle a long overdue project and it helped me
realize that I should apply my project mgmt skills to more personal
activities!" - B. C.
"This course was fabulous in that it had me
apply project management principles in a tangible way and accomplish
a personal goal." - M. O.
"It was fun and at the end of the course it provided me
with not just learning but also a Family Office. Great course."
liked the course, It not only helped me with the phases of a
project, but I have peace of mind that my personal documents are
organized and easily accessible."
type of course is structured in a way where you learn the
concepts as well as end up with a personally useful home office
when you take a class, it also helps you personally. This was
definitely the case when I took "Cheetah Family Office Set-up"!
I was surprised at how much it helped me to gain control over my
personal and previous work affairs and opened dialogue between
me and my family members. It got me on a track for continued
success and is still being used!"

organizing our project efforts in Pet Care." - J. P.

priced and easy to understand and complete. Barb is great to work
with." - B. B.

increasing the focus on PM in our organization, this material will
be helpful." - A. I.

how executives need to understand the impact of project management."

every phase of the project."

valuable part of the course." - B. O.
"Great reminder of how critical lessons learned are for
future projects." - L. K.
"I LOVE being able to do all of this online
after putting the kids to bed! Helps me get the training in and
doesn't take away from my family time! NICE WORK WITH THIS PROGRAM!"
"I liked the Closing Process checklist. I can
use this on my current and future projects." - D. L.
"The templates that were provided are great.
I plan to use them with all my projects. I particularly like the
Project Archives Report - it is easier to complete and follow than

(CBS/AP) ANAHEIM, Calif. - Torii Hunter was placed on the Los Angeles Angels' restricted list Monday after his teenage son was arrested in Texas.
The town of Prosper, Texas, issued a news release announcing 17-year-old Darius McClinton-Hunter of neighboring McKinney, Texas, was arrested Monday in a sexual assault case. The release said Prosper police made five arrests after a monthlong investigation of sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony.
Prosper police spokesman Celso Martinez confirmed McClinton-Hunter is Torii Hunter's son. Hunter's family lives in Prosper, a suburb north of Dallas that's home to several prominent athletes including Deion Sanders and Hunter's teammate, reliever LaTroy Hawkins.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Hunter has left the team, but refused to say how long Hunter will be away from the club.
"It's a personal matter," Scioscia said. "We're going to go day-to-day, and we'll just see where it is. That's all I'm going to say."
Darius Hunter is one of Torii Hunter's three sons who played on the Prosper High football team last season.
All three sons, including Torii Jr. and Monshadrik "Money" Hunter, are considered Division I football prospects, with Torii Jr. considering Stanford and Darius Hunter interested in playing at Oregon, according to his father. Darius Hunter, a receiver last season, reportedly attracted interest and scholarship offers from Texas Tech, SMU and West Virginia, among others.
Hunter flew back to California with the Angels on Sunday night from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where they faced the Rangers last weekend. But Hunter left Angel Stadium several hours before Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics.
Hunter sat out Sunday's game, but would have been in the Angels' lineup Monday night, Scioscia said. Mark Trumbo took Hunter's spot in right field for the second straight night.
The 36-year-old Hunter is a four-time All-Star, a nine-time Gold Glove winner and the Angels' clubhouse leader and unofficial captain. He's batting .256 with five homers and 15 RBIs this season, but has been in a slump with just two hits in 31 at-bats over Los Angeles' previous nine games before Sunday, including an 0-for-20 skid.
The Angels called up Ryan Langerhans to replace Hunter on the roster, but Trumbo and Peter Bourjos are likely to absorb most of Hunter's playing time. Trumbo has played several positions since Albert Pujols took his spot at first base, but the second-year pro still leads the Angels with six homers and 16 RBIs despite playing in just 26 of their 35 games.
The speedy Bourjos usually has been left out of the Angels' lineup in recent days, making just three starts since April 29 after beginning the season as Los Angeles' starting center fielder. He was on the bench again Monday, with heralded prospect Mike Trout again playing in center.

Today's Four Horsemen – socially organised violence, debt, iniquity and poverty control all of our lives. They're gathering momentum, decimating communities and compromising future generations if they are not arrested the planet will gallop to a logical conclusion.
By dispelling the myth that capitalism has failed the Four Horsemen charts how a vast majority of the world's population have been made to pay for the greatest heist in history. Capitalism hasn't failed – it has worked perfectly according to the rules the systems creators have established at the detriment to those who can least afford it.
Younger generations sense innately that something is wrong. Disillusionment and unhappiness are far reaching throughout the developed world where almost everyone has got to the end of the benefits of economic growth.
Four Horsemen film pulls together for the first time 23 of the world's leading thinkers who have held jobs at the highest level and explain where we go from here and how we can begin to re-engage.

I just made a batch of this awesome tofu. I used 7.5 oz of Trader Joes Extra Firm Tofu and Dry Fried it. The GREAT thing about Dry Frying your tofu, is that you don't have to press it. Let's face it; it's kind of a pain in the ass to do that. I know you're skeptical, but trust me, just this once and come on over the the dark side of Melomeals Shortcuts!
Here is a Tutorial on How To Dry Fry Tofu:
While the tofu was cooking, I made a quick sauce with around 1/2 cup of Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce, 1 tbsp garlic powder and 1 tsp of my Chipotle Coconut Butter. (I warmed this up in a small saucepan). When the tofu was finished, I tossed it in the sauce.
It's that simple and the tofu tastes like was marinating all day and fried!
I will probably have a big cabbage/kale salad with live sauerkraut, cukes, tomatoes and onions.
I also have a lovely sugar free berry frozen yogurt in the freezer I can have for dessert. Stay tuned for more on that!

If you shoot some AVCHD .mts files with your Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 camcorder, you will probably choose to find an easy-to-use video editing software for making your own home movies. If you are not a video professional, Pinnacle Studio will be a good tool for you to edit AVCHD .mts videos. Pinnacle Studio is a non-linear video editing software application manufactured by Pinnacle Systems, a division of Avid Technology. It is the consumer-level counterpart to Pinnacle's former professional-level software. With Pinnacle Studio as your creative partner, you'll spend less time making videos and more time sharing them.
Although, it claims that Pinnacle Studio can support AVCHD files, there are so many limits you are facing like the System Requirements: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66 gHz or higher required for 1920×1080 AVCHD editing, 2GB system memory required for AVCHD and more. If you can't meet these requirements, you will get troubles when importing Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 .mts files to Pinnacle Studio for editing. To get Pinnacle Studio working with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 AVCHD footage beautifully, the best solution is to use aPubsoft AVCHD Video converter for transcoding Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 MTS to Pinnacle Studio favorable formats like WMV, AVI, etc. Apart from for easy editing, video in these formats comes out in a much smaller size.
Follow the steps below, and you can import and convert Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 1080/60i MTS to Pinnacle Studio 17/16, Pinnacle Studio 15/14, Pinnacle Studio 13/12, Pinnacle Studio 11 WMV.
Step 1. Load Panasonic MTS videos to the aPubsoft AVCHD Video Converter.
Transfer .mts files from Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 camcorder to computer via USB cable. Run aPubsoft AVCHD Video Converter as the best Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 MTS converter, and click the "Add" button to load .mts videos.
Step 2. Choose to output HD WMV.
Click the "Format" option, and choose HD Video > HD WMV (*.wmv) for converting Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 MTS to WMV with WMV3 as video codec. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 MTS converter also keeps the 5.1 channels from Lumix DMC-FZ70 by default.
Step 3. Convert Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 MTS to WMV for Pinnacle Studio 17/16/15.
Click the convert button under the preview window, the MTS to WMV converter will start converting 1080i AVCHD MTS to HD WMV in 1920×1080 for importing to Pinnacle Studio.

A Greener Solution
By Karen Hardy
OPTI-FREE® products have always been known for their green colored packaging, but recently, we just got a little bit greener. You see, to help show our growing commitment to the environment, we here at Alcon recently redesigned the packaging of our OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® starter kits. These kits – the kind you receive from your eye doctor when you go in for a check up – have been redesigned to reduce package size by 44%. Smaller packaging means less paper, and therefore less trash. And, ultimately more trees are left standing, and that's one step closer to a better world for all of us. .
To help celebrate this new, greener OPTI-FREE®, we set out to do a little more for the planet. Our goal was to team up with optometrists across the nation and help restore some of our natural resources.
"The planet provides us with so much," said Sandra Harrison, Marketing Manager at Alcon. "Not just the necessities we need to live and survive and thrive, but the very beauty of nature that keeps life so full of wonder. We knew we had to start doing what we could to keep the earth healthy."
Years of wildfires and other natural disasters have left many forests in desperate need of new, healthy trees, and OPTI-FREE® products rose to the challenge. We got in touch with the Arbor Day Foundation, the nation's oldest and largest tree-planting organization, to help repopulate some of our National Forests.
With the Arbor Day Foundation's help and a goal of planting 10,000 new trees, we reached out to eye care professionals across the nation, asking for their support. Just one click on a link, and we planted a tree in their honor.
Not only will these new trees make our National Forests more beautiful and enjoyable for the folks who visit them, they'll also provide food and habitat to wildlife AND help purify the air we breathe!
These days, it can seem like "going green" is more of a marketing fad than anything. It's easy to forget that we're doing this for a reason. Every little bit helps: Each tree spared, every new one planted brings us a little closer to making our world a more beautiful, healthy place to live in. Protecting our planet, restoring it, isn't just a trend or a gimmick. It's something we must do, because it affects every single one of us. OPTI-FREE® products are proud to be making an effort, and we'd like to thank the Arbor Day Foundation and optometrists across the country for helping us out.
If you'd like to learn more about Alcon's commitment to the environment, click here.
OPTI® eSTORIES is a place for eyes, of course - a forum for sharing tips and stories, for offering new vision and perspective, for discussing lifestyle and image, all through the window of our eyes. More than that, though, OPTI® is about celebrating the beauty within all of us, and the way our eyes can be just as unique as we are. Fun and feisty, elegant and soulful. It's all here. It's all OPTI®.
If you have any questions or comments about our articles - or a suggestion for future articles - we'd love to hear from you.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I've always turned to www.shadowpanther.net for my theorycrafting... especially since I stink at math. I've also set up some scale tags using the Pawn addon based on SP's formula. The author is still maintaining the site, as you'll see several updates in just the last few days.
I'll have to look at warcrafter.net, though. It sounds interesting.
Subtlety FTW!
The oft-cited problem with shadowpanther is that it assigns static stat values to rogue gear, when that is not how it actually works. The real value of stats depends on a more complex system of variables, such as talent build, group composition (or lack of it), and the amount of other stats that you have.
As a reference tool for raw data like item lists and their stats, it's a fine tool. For valuation purposes, it is too oversimplified.
I've recognized that it has limitations, but for my limited concept of theorycrafting it works well for my needs. Also, the scale tags I use have formulas for PvE and PvP values for MH, OH, and Dagger builds. Taken as a whole, the mixed values can at the very least point you in the right direction for an upgrade.
While it might not be as precise or in-depth as Elitist Jerks, I find it very helpful for a more casual playstyle. It helps take the guess-work out of gear-selection without needing a math degree.

Best Video
Nominees: Katy Perry: 'Wide Awake', Lady Gaga: 'Marry The Night', M.I.A.: 'Bad Girls', Psy: 'Gangnam Style', Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris: 'We Found Love'
The automotive awesomeness of M.I.A.'s 'Bad Girls' took home two prizes at MTV Video Music Awards back in September, while 'We Found Love' landed the much-coveted Video of the Year award. This of course, all happened before a little thing called Gangnam fever gripped the world, with South Korean rapper Psy's brilliantly bonkers equine video for 'Gangnam Style' going viral and giving him K-Pop's first truly global hit. It doesn't look as though Gangnam-Mania has reached its peak yet, and the EMAs could have arrived at just the right time for Psy to take the Best Video prize.
Our prediction: Psy: 'Gangnam Style'

Meadowwood Care Center owner Jack Crout claims the state is
unnecessarily putting residents of his nursing home in danger by forcing him to
shut down. The Ohio Department of Health, meanwhile, argues Crout has had six
months to correct violations, but is still not in compliance, so the agency is
blocking his Medicare and Medicaid funding.
FOX19 obtained inspection records for Meadowwood showing
major violations last summer: A resident with a mental disability was gone from
the nursing home for two hours after slipping out a door that had been left
unlocked; a state investigator found evidence that mice had eaten food in the
nursing home's kitchen, along with mouse droppings, and two live mice stuck to
a glue mousetrap.
Crout says those issues have been resolved.
The state says the facility has a mold problem, which Crout
denies. He does concede his nursing home still has water damage and frayed,
stained carpeting. However, he argues that should not rise to the level of
blocking his funding. He also accuses the state watchdogs of putting residents
in danger by saying that statistically 18% of the residents who leave will die
because of the disruption. It's a statistic he says he got from his attorney.
FOX19 could not confirm that statistic in our research. However, we did find a
study that suggests the death rate for nursing home patients with severe
dementia skyrockets
after an evacuation.
Factually speaking, the state is not forcing the residents
to leave nor is it forcing Crout to close down Meadowwood. But it is blocking
his Medicare and Medicaid funding, which Crout says will have the same effect.
He says only about five residents self-pay. That means all of the others are
dependent on Medicare and Medicaid to pay their bills. So Crout argues blocking
that funding has the effect of shutting down the facility.
A health department spokeswoman says the funding will
continue for 30 more days and that the state is working with residents and
their families to find other acceptable places to go.
In fact, when FOX19 visited on Monday, a state long-term
care ombudsman was there offering families assistance.
"Some people, we've already heard, will be returning to the
community to live with family," said ombudsman Beverly Laubert with the Ohio
Department of Aging. "Some people are choosing other nursing homes. Someone
might be going to a group home. So lots of options (are) available for people
and we just want to help them."
Crout still hopes to find a way for residents to be able to
stay. He's negotiating with two people who are part of a partnership. They've
expressed interest in buying or leasing the nursing home. He's hoping to come
to an understanding with them quickly because he expects the first residents
may start leaving Friday.
Meanwhile, health department spokeswoman Tessie Pollock says
she understands why many residents are sad to leave since many have gotten, in
her words, "great care." But she also notes that a January inspection, which
the department calls an annual survey, had to be aborted because the
"administration of Meadowwood was being uncooperative and impeding the survey."

CD Projekt RED teases Witcher comic
CD Projekt RED, the creators of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, have created one of the most obvious teaser trailers we've seen yet. Without explicitly announcing a comic book adaptation of The Witcher series, the company has announced a collaboration with Dark Horse Comics meant for "fans of the fantasy genre."
The teaser adds: "There's a mystery near the edge of the Black Forest. We'd like to invite you to fear it with us."
The company promises a full reveal at New York Comic Con next week.

Description: The hakata santoku is a traditional general purpose Japanese chef's knife from the Hakata-ku region of Japan (on Kyushu). This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper. The Hakata style is a perfect choice to grab whether slicing onions, chopping parsley, or dicing meats.
Each knife is individually hand-forged beginning with an aogami super carbon steel core (hagane). The smaller crystalline size of this carbon steel results in superior edge holding when compared to nearly any other steel. Many knifemakers and users feel that aogami super is among the best carbon steels used on kitchen knives today. Aogami super combines limited rust resistance with carbon steel performance. The central core is surrounded by many layers of deeply etched damascus. The top section of the blade features a hand hammered surface (known as tsuchime) that helps food release from the knife's side when cutting. A dark kurouchi finish results from the last phase of heat treatment and adds a limited degree of rust resistance. This time consuming process creates a knife with outstanding edge holding and beauty. The blade is distal tapered for optimal balance and has an extremely thin, keen edge for the highest performance. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust.
The "Wa" style handle is octagon in shape and is sculpted from macassar ebony with a pakkawood ferrule. This natural, ambidextrous handle is easy to grip and lasts a lifetime. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.

Handwritten Newspapers From Ravaged Japan at Newseum
Watch video:
Goal to Save a Town Through Soccer
By Sharon Shahid, online managing editor
As the city of Ishinomaki, Japan, and surrounding areas continue to rebuild after the March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated the region, soccer has become the area's salvation.
In Onagawa, a hard-hit town near Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture, approximately 5, 700 people, more than half the town, are reported missing. The local soccer club — Cobaltore Onagawa — has taken on the daunting task of trying to maintain the town's very survival by stemming the tide of young residents they fear will leave in the aftermath of the natural disasters.
Onagawa's population had been declining for decades, with employment opportunities limited to fishing or working at the nuclear power plant. Young people have abandoned the town for the larger cities of Tokyo and Sendai.
The Cobaltore Onagawa soccer club was formed in 2006 specifically to boost community pride and to encourage young people to stay. Koichi Ohmi, publisher of Ishinomaki Hibi Shimbun, the newspaper that was the subject of the Newseum's April 12 Web feature on the handwritten newspapers, is the team's general manager.
The town's strategy for the soccer club was a success. Then the twin disasters struck.
Since then, Cobaltore Onagawa players have become the town's lifeline, distributing water and food to local residents. The team will not participate in the Tohoku Regional League for the 2011 season and are focusing on raising funds to rebuild the town through a charity based in the United Kingdom called Onagawa Supporters.
For more information on how to make donations to help restore the region, please visit the Onagawa Supporters website.
When the worst earthquake in Japan's history and the subsequent tsunami knocked out all power in the city of Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture, editors at the Ishinomaki Hibi Shimbun, the city's daily newspaper, printed news of the disaster the only way they could: by pen and paper.
For six consecutive days after the twin disasters, reporters used flashlights and marker pens to write their stories on poster-size paper and posted the "newspapers" at the entrances of relief centers around the city. Six staff members collected stories, while three spent an hour and a half each day writing the newspapers by hand.
The Newseum has acquired seven of the originals for its permanent collection of historic newspapers, some of which will be featured in an exhibit in the Time Warner World News Gallery May 2. The newspapers are a powerful testament to the timeless human need to know and to journalists' commitment to providing that information.
"Without the benefit of any of the 21st century conveniences or technological advancements, and in the face of significant personal hardships, these journalists were distinctly committed to providing their community with critical information, and they used simple pen and paper to do it," said Carrie Christoffersen, curator of collections.
Throughout history, journalists have found ways to deliver the news when normal methods have been hampered. During the Civil War's Union siege of 1863, newsprint was so scarce in Vicksburg, Miss., that The Daily Citizen printed on wallpaper. On display in the News Corporation News History Gallery is an issue of the Citizen that declared, "This is the last wall-paper edition. It will be valuable hereafter as a curiosity."
The Newseum became aware of the Hibi Shimbun's heroic efforts from a March 21, 2011, story on the earthquake in The Washington Post. That morning, Brian Nishimura Lee, the Newseum's senior administrator for database and financial systems, emailed editors at the Hibi Shimbun and requested copies of the handwritten editions for the museum's collection.
Lee, whose hometown of Fukuoka is located on Kyushu Island, about 800 miles from Ishinomaki, acted as the Newseum's liaison between curators and the newspaper's editors. Communication was daily, despite the 13-hour time difference between Washington and Japan.
Ishinomaki, with a population of about 160,000 people, was one of the hardest hit in Japan. Approximately 80 percent of the homes were destroyed. About 1,300 people have died, and more than 2,700 are still missing.
The first handwritten newspaper on March 12 was an "Extra" edition that informed residents that the earthquake was "the biggest in the history of Japan." The next day's edition told about "rescue teams arriving in some areas." On March 16, the paper said, "Let's overcome the hardship with mutual support." By March 17, the paper wrote about the lights coming back on.
The first printed edition of the newspaper since the power outage was published on March 18. Editions have been distributed free to refugee sites each day.
Multiple aftershocks have struck Japan since March 11, causing more power outages and resulting in additional deaths. Tap water and gas lines for heating and cooking have not been restored in many areas. Officials estimate May as the earliest month that utilities will be restored.Related Links:

Kingsland robotics team working 'down to the wire' to prepare for March competition
By Gretchen Mensink Lovejoy
Tuesday, February 19, 2013 10:07 AM
Josh Vandeweerd and Isaac Becker work on the Kingsland TeKnights robotics team's 2013 robotics competition entry.
The gear mission, should they choose to accept it: Fling it.
"This year's robot is supposed to shoot Frisbees at certain targets, and if they want it to, it can climb certain obstacles," said Kingsland tech ed instructor Andrew Brouwer, describing the 2013 TeKnights team's Robotics First robot, which will soon be completed and sealed for storage until the team convenes for the annual state robotics competition at the Duluth Convention Center in Duluth, Minn., from March 7 through 9.
This year's TeKnights robotics team is comprised of Jordan Chinnow, Isaac Becker, Tori Jones, James Hayes-Hall, Kristian Pike, Brandon Balliet, Josh Vandeweerd, Elia Hurst, Isaac Hurst, advisers Brouwer and Brad Reiter and fix-it man Jerry Donney.
They are all working, literally down to the wire, to finish the robot they built from a kit of Robotics First competition-supplied components before the completion deadline, checking and re-checking connections, maneuvering, interaction with the controlling computer, aim and balance.
The team, sponsored by J.C. Penney's, Medtronic of Rochester, IBM and Swiss Valley Farms, has met each Monday, Wednesday and Friday since the kit arrived on Jan. 5, building the framework and adding the tech gear that makes it truly a robot.
The project teaches students teamwork and problem-solving skills, as well as "gracious professionalism."
Chinnow volunteered to be spokesman for the team, saying, "It's pretty much the same robot as last year's, but we've changed some things, like how it throws. The first week is the big framework-building week, and after that, once we get the electrical stuff hooked up and the wi-fi connected, we'll be able to finish the robot. It's pretty fast from there.
"Right now, it's kind of frustrating because we're having connection problems, but once we finish that, we'll be able to get the rest done ... we'll have to worry about different problems like height constraints and weight distribution because it has to be able to suspend in the air off a pyramid jungle gym and has to climb one level, hit targets of different levels and different sizes, and the higher and slimmer the targets it shoots into, the more points we get."
Last year's robot was tasked with shooting basketballs at specific targets, and the team saw "all different kinds of robots, some 5 feet tall and others that you wouldn't believe ... you see things that you wouldn't believe," noted Chinnow.
Brouwer has particular interest in the 2013 contest, as it is his first year teaching at Kingsland and also his first year accompanying a team to competition.
"I'm excited ... they're down to the wire, and they've been working hard on this. They've got to get pushing and get this done because it has to be sealed up by midnight on Tuesday (Feb. 19). I've never done this before, but it's fun."
Chinnow anticipates "definitely seeing the other teams' robots, because they get kind of crazy."
Team member Becker noted that while he doesn't enjoy the building phase as much as he does the competition itself, he finds "there's a challenge in the competition ... it's what makes robotics fun for us.
"We get there and see what other teams did differently - they come up with things you wouldn't think anyone would have thought of in design. We've seen robots as tall as us and some made fully out of plastic."
Becker added, "At the competition, everybody's sharing parts and helping with robots if people need it. I like that the people who volunteer at the competition are there just to help you, not to make money on anything. It's based on gracious professionalism."
Though last year's robot made a debut at a basketball game, there's little time for public demonstrations this winter. However, the team wished to thank those who volunteer or sponsor them as they geared up for great fun and some serious Frisbee flinging come March.

Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
GENERIC NAME: mupirocin, mupirocin calcium
BRAND NAME: Bactroban, Bactroban Nasal, Centany
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Mupirocin is an antibiotic that is used topically (on the skin) for the treatment of impetigo, a bacterial disease of the skin caused by Staphylococcus aureus, beta-hemolytic streptococcus and Streptococcus pyogenes. It also is used intranasally (inside the nose) by patients and some people who work in healthcare centers to eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that have colonized the inside of the nose.
Unlike most other antibiotics which act on either bacterial DNA or the walls of bacteria, mupirocin blocks the activity of an enzyme called isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase within the bacteria. This enzyme is necessary in order for the bacteria to make proteins. Without the ability to make proteins, the bacteria die. Because of its unique mechanism of action, there is little chance that bacteria will have become resistant to mupirocin because of exposure to other antibiotics. Mupirocin topical cream was approved by the FDA in December 1987. The intranasal form was approved in October 1995.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Ointment: 15 g tubes as 2% (20 mg/g). Cream: 15 and 30 g tubes as 2% (20mg/g). Nasal ointment: 1 g tubes as 2% (20 mg/g).
STORAGE: The tablets should be kept at room temperature, 15-30 C (59-86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Mupirocin is used for the treatment of impetigo and infections of the skin caused by Staphylococcus aureus, beta-hemolytic streptococcus or Streptococcus pyogenes. Mupirocin is not recommended for use on the skin in serious burns, because more of the vehicle (the inactive ingredient) used for the ointment, polyethylene glycol (Miralax), may be absorbed and can damage the kidneys. The nasal ointment of mupirocin is used for the elimination of nasal Staphylococcus aureus that have become resistant to other antibiotics. Mupirocin also may be used for other infections as determined by the physician.
DOSING: For the treatment of impetigo, a small amount of the ointment is applied to the affected area, usually three times daily. The area may be covered with a sterile gauze dressing. If there is no improvement in 3-5 days, the physician should be contacted to re-examine the infected area. For other skin infections, the cream is applied to the affected area 3 times a day for 10 days, and the doctor should be contacted as well if there is no improvement after 3-5 days.
When mupirocin is used for patients who harbor intranasal Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to many other antibiotics, those who are age 12 years and older require the application of about half of the ointment from a single-use tube of nasal ointment into one nostril and the other half into the other nostril. This treatment is repeated twice daily for 5 days. Currently, there is not enough information to recommend use of mupirocin in children younger than 12 years of age.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: There are no known drug interactions with mupirocin; however, it should not be used at the same time with other drugs that are applied inside the nose.
PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies of mupirocin in pregnant women; however, studies in animals suggest no important effects on the fetus. Mupirocin, therefore, can be used in pregnancy if the physician feels that it is necessary.
NURSING MOTHERS: There is no information on the safety of mupirocin in nursing infants. It is unknown if any of the small amount of mupirocin that is absorbed from the skin into the blood of the mother concentrates in breast milk. It is advisable, therefore, not to nurse while using mupirocin.
SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects are uncommon and mild with mupirocin. The most frequent side effects are burning, stinging, pain, and itching at the area of application.
The intranasal use of mupirocin can cause headache (1 of every 11 patients), runny nose (1 in 17), congestion (1 in 20), sore throat (1 in 22), changes in taste perception (1 in 30), nasal irritation (1 in 50) and cough (1 in 50).

A giant ragweed poking out of a corn or soybean field late in the season may hurt your pride, but early season weed competition can actually do more to hurt your pocketbook.
"Early season weed interference has a huge effect [on yield]," says Wesley Everman, Michigan State University weed scientist. "In one study that we have been running for five or six years, we have seen a 20-bu. yield increase in corn when weeds are removed when they are 3" tall instead of waiting until they reach 9"."
A study at Canada's University of Guelph found that when pigweed emerged with the crop, one-half plant per square meter led to a 5% yield loss. When pigweed emerged after corn was established, it took as many as 20 plants to cause the same yield loss.
Aaron Hager, University of Illinois Extension weed specialist, reports weeds are not all created equal when it comes to competition. Neither are crops.
"Corn is less competitive with early season weeds than soybeans," Hager says. "We have known for decades that there is a period of time when corn and weeds can coexist without reducing yield and that there is a critical time when crop yields will be reduced. There are important differences in weed management in corn and soybeans. Weed interference begins to reduce yields sooner in corn than in soybeans."
Research at The Ohio State University finds that weeds do the most damage to yield potential four to six weeks after planting. Controlling early season weeds is critical to maximizing yields. But how early is early?
Timing matters. The biggest challenge in any scenario is knowing the exact day weed interference begins to reduce yield. "You can't predict it to the day," Hager notes. "Perhaps it was when weeds were 3" tall in corn last year, but 2" tall this year. We can't be as accurate as we would like. We can't look at a field and say, 'you need to remove weeds now.'"
It also is difficult to correlate weed size at removal with bushels lost. There are differences among weed species.
"For example, Pennsylvania smartweed doesn't reduce yields as much as giant ragweed," Hager notes. "Of course, you don't just see a single species in the field but a mix."
Glyphosate-resistant crops became popular for many reasons—a big one being application flexibility. It's handy to be able to wait to spray until after planting. However, that's not always the best strategy when it comes to weed competition.
"One of the riskiest strategies is to put all of your weed management tools on at one time, whether soil-residual or post-applied," Hager says. "It's difficult to get season-long weed control with a single post application. That's not the fault of the herbicide but the nature of today's weed spectrum."
Wet springs present a timing challenge for post applications, too.
"It's better to err on the side of reducing weed interference too soon rather than too late. If you spray too soon, you may have to come back with a follow-up spray. But if you wait too late, crop yield is reduced, and you can't get it back," Hager says.

A long-term partner of Born Free, Limbe Wildlife Centre is a wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and reintroduction/release project in Cameroon. Founded in 1993 by the government of Cameroon and the Pandrillus Foundation, the center aims to protect endangered species of Cameroon by caring for confiscated wildlife (including several species of monkeys, gorillas, reptiles, and birds) and by collaborating with the local and international community. The center focuses on veterinary care, conservation education, community programs, and much more: vital steps toward the eventual end of the exotic pet and "bushmeat" trades.
Born Free USA members have raised thousands of dollars to support the Limbe Wildlife Centre and one of its major projects: the rehabilitation and release of captured African grey parrots back into the wild, where they belong.
In the past couple of years, authorities in the west-central African country of Cameroon have intercepted more than 1,000 endangered African grey parrots who had been taken from the wild by criminals engaged in the international pet trade. Captured in nets and stuffed into tiny crates, the terrified birds were deprived of food and water and forced to stand in their own waste. Many were trampled to death in their crowded crates, or subsequently died from the injuries they sustained in being captured and transported. Instead of the surviving parrots being laundered back into the pet trade, they have been handed over to the Limbe Wildlife Centre.
Please help Limbe Wildlife Centre provide the highest quality of care for its rescued wildlife, and ensure that the center can continue to educate the community about the importance of conservation.

The most important part of this drug is that it gives you the energy and the motivation to GET UP AND DO SOMETHING! Being active is the quickest way to take off weight. However, if you take the pill 1st thing in A.M., eat something small like an apple or bananna to prevent stomach ache.
