In this chapter, we discuss two important questions in development and provide a single answer for both. They turn out to be fundamental not only to the logical structure of the code development process but also to the production methodology.
Here are the questions:
The worst thing in the world as far as development is concerned is to be writing system-critical code towards the end of a project. Yet this is such a common occurrence you would think someone would have spotted it and put a stop to it. Not only will (and does) it induce huge amounts of stress in the team, it is absolutely guaranteed to introduce all sorts of problems in other systems that were considered stable.
Ideally, we would like to pick an order to perform tasks in that does not lead to this horror. Ideally, we would like to be able to know in advance which are the tasks and systems that we need to work on first and which are those that can wait a while. If we cannot attain this 'ideal' state – and I would be foolhardy to suggest we can – we can certainly do better than writing critical-path code during Alpha or Beta phases in a project!How long is a piece of virtual string?
Although a game is a finite piece of software, it is rather tricky to describe criteria for "completion." It is almost universally true that the functionality and features of games that we see on store shelves are only some percentage of the development team's ambitions. More will have been designed than implemented, and not all that was implemented will have been used. Given then that games rarely reach the "all done" mark, how are we to decide if a game is releasable? What metrics are available to inform us how much is actually 'done and dusted'?
Consider also a problem of scheduling sub-tasks: say a programmer (call her Jo) has said it'll take 10 days to write the 'exploding trap' object, and that she's 4 days into this time. Is her task 40% complete? It's very hard to tell, especially since we cannot see the trap exploding till maybe day 9 or 10. But let's be optimistic, and suggest that Jo works hard and gets the job 'done' in 8. Usually there is a profit of +2 days marked up, the task is marked as complete, and everything looks hunky dory for the project.
Later on, it turns out that the trap needs to be modified since (say) it needs to be able to trap larger objects. It's another 4 days of work for our Jo, and now we have a deficit of –2 days, and suddenly the project starts to look like it's slipping.
The point is this: most objects in a game rarely get written just once. We'll revisit them over the course of a project to fix bugs, add and remove features, optimise and maybe even rewrite them entirely. This isn't a pathological behaviour: almost all significant software systems grow and evolve over the course of time. How naïve then does the '4 days in, 40% complete' metric look? Pretty damn naïve, to put it politely. What we really need is a system that allows time and space for evolution without driving projects into schedule loss and the resulting state of semi-panic that characterises most development processes.
Incremental delivery
Milestones round my neck
Almost all software development (outside of research, which by its nature it open-ended) is driven by some kind of milestone system. Let me state unequivocally now that this is a good thing: the days of anarchic commercial software development should be buried and remain so. Nevertheless, just by virtue of it being a 'good thing' does not mean that it doesn't come with its own particular set of pros and cons. In particular, if we accept (for all the 'pro' reasons) that milestone-driven development is the way to go then we must also pay attention to the 'con' side that will inevitably frustrate our attempts to make the process work with the efficiency we require for delivery on time, within budget.
One of the most difficult cons games developers have to deal with is the different way that milestones and the associated schedules are interpreted by production teams and management. As most of those who have worked with non-trivial software products, or in fact any large project that requires multiple bespoke interacting component parts spanning a variety of disciplines, have come to realise, schedules represent a team's best guess at how the product will evolve over time.
On the other hand, management – perhaps unused to the way that schedules are produced, perhaps because they require correlation of studio funding with progress – often read the document completely differently. They see the document almost as a contract between themselves and developers, promising certain things at certain times.
This disparity between seeing a schedule as a framework for project evolution to facilitate tracking, and as a binding agreement to deliver particular features at particular times, causes much angst for both developers and managers. The former often have to work ridiculous hours under pressure to get "promised" features out. The latter have responsibility for financial balances that depend on the features being in place.Internal and external milestones
We can see that there are some basic premises about milestones that need to be addressed:
Clearly, the sort of milestones that managers need be aware of are 'cruder' or 'at a lower granularity' than the milestones that developers need to pace the evolution of the product. We can therefore distinguish between 'external' milestones, which are broad-brush descriptions of high-level features with granularity of weeks (maybe even months), and 'internal' milestones that are medium and fine-level features scheduled in weeks and days.
Managers therefore never need to know the internal mechanisms that generate the software. To adopt a programming metaphor, the team can be viewed as a 'black box' type of object with the producer as its 'interface'. There are two types of question ('public methods', to extend the analogy) that a manager can ask of a producer:
This is an unrealistically simple example of interaction between production and management. The latter will want to know issues of team dynamics, why things are running late (as they inevitably seem to), and a whole host of other project-related information. However, it draws a fuzzy – but distinguishable – line in the sand between the scheduling of features and accountability for their development.The breaking-wheel of progress
There is one other important sense in which management and develop perceive milestones differently. It is based on the concept of 'visibility' and is without doubt the biggest millstone (half-pun intended) around developers' necks this side of Alpha Centauri.
Almost ubiquitously in the industry, management refuses to regard features that they cannot see (or perhaps hear) within a short time of picking up the game as importantly as those obviously visible (or audible) ones. For those of us that work on AI, physics, memory managers, scripting systems, maths, optimisation, bug-fixing and all those other vital areas of a game's innards that are not open to visual inspection, this is particularly galling. To spend weeks and months working on hidden functionality only to have the team's work dismissed as 'inadequate' because there was no new eye-candy is an all too common occurrence.
The education of managers in the realities of development is a slow, ongoing and painful process. Meanwhile, we developers have to work with what we are given, therefore it remains important to – somehow! – build ongoing visible / audible progress into the development of the project.
There is an intimate relationship between the concept of visibility and of completeness. Many tasks may not become tangibly present until they are 'complete'. Saying that something is '40% complete', even if that were a rigorously obtained metric, might still amount to '0% visible'. So we'll only be able to fully address the issue of progress when we deal later with determining 'completeness' for a task.Always stay a step ahead
Despite our best – though sometimes a little less – efforts, we will slip. We shall deliver a feature late or perhaps not even at all, and if the management is in a particularly fussy mood then there may be much pounding of fists and red faces. Worse than showing no visible progress would be to show retrograde progress – fewer features apparent than a previous milestone. Nevertheless it is a common and required ability for projects to arbitrarily disable and re-enable particular functionality within the code base. With the advent of version control systems, we are now able to store a complete history of source code and data, so in theory it is always possible to "roll back" to a previous version of the game that had the feature enabled.
Just because it's possible, does that make it desirable? In this case, yes. Indeed, I would argue that working versions of the game should be built frequently – if not daily at least weekly – and archived in some sensible fashion. When the management asks production for the latest version of the game (one of their two allowed questions from the previous section), then the producer will return not the current (working) build but the one previous to that.
Why not the current working build? Because it is important to show progress, and development must ensure that to the best of their ability the game has visibly improved from one iteration to the next. If it becomes necessary – and it usually does – to spend time maintaining, upgrading, optimising or rewriting parts of the code base, then releasing the next-but-one working version gives another release with visible improvements before we hit the 'calm' spot with no apparent progress.
From one point of view, this is a 'sneaky manoeuvre'. It's no more sneaky than (say) insuring your house against flood1. Publishers and managers always want to see the 'latest' version and a development team itching to impress may well be tempted to show them it. Resist this urge! Remember, development should be opaque to management inspection other than through the supplied 'interface'. Anything else is just development suicide.Iterated delivery
So we've decided that rather than work specifically to release code at external milestones, we'll supply 'work in progress' builds at these times. Internally we'll be working to our own schedule. How should we organise this schedule?
I'll start by assuming that there is a reasonably comprehensive design document for the game (believe me, you'd be surprised the number of times there isn't). This document should describe, in brief, what the game is about – characters (if any), storyline (if any), situations and rules. Step one to producing an internal schedule is to produce the Object Oriented design diagram for the game. We are not interested here in the diagram specifying interrelationships between the objects; the end goal is simply to produce a big list of all classes that map directly to concepts in the game. Auxiliary classes such as containers and mathematical objects need not apply – we are only looking for classes that map to game-level concepts.
Once we have produced this list, it needs to be given back to the design team, as step two is really their call. They need to classify all the objects in the list (I'll use the terms 'objects' and 'features' interchangeably in this section) into the following three groups:
An executable that consists of working versions of these objects (coupled to the non-game classes) is generally not of playable, let alone releasable quality.
A game consisting of core and required features will be playable and releasable. Nevertheless, it should be considered the minimal amount of content that will be releasable, and still requires work if the game is to be near the top of the genre.
The end result is a list of features that is effectively sorted in terms of importance to the product. It is tempting to say that the optimal order of tasks is then to start at the top – the most important 'core' tasks – and work our way down. We carry on completing tasks until we run out of time.
Well it's close, but there's no cigar for that method. There are fundamental problems in organising work this way. There is little evidence of anything that resembles 'continual progress'. In the pathological case, the game is in bits for the entire development cycle until just before the end when the bits are pulled together and – hopefully! – fit. This is guaranteed to have producers and management biting their knuckles with stress. Furthermore, the most likely outcome is that components do not work together or have unforeseen side-effects that may involve radical re-design very late on in the project.
Clearly it is correct to do the most important tasks first and the superficial tasks last (time allowing). But if we wish to show continual improvement of the product, we shall need to be a little smarter. So we shall progress to the third phase of the Iterated Delivery method (the actual 'iterated' part). We'll start again with the list of features, which because an Object Oriented Design process has generated them, map directly to classes.
Consider just one of these classes. How does it start off its life? Usually something like this:
// File Player.hpp
class Player
// File Player.cpp
#include "Player.hpp"
Over the course of the product development, much will be added, much will also be removed, but generally the object evolves. This evolution can occur in one of two ways: firstly it can start with zero functionality and end up fully implemented. This is possible, but not very common. More realistically, the object is either fully or partially re-written to have more complex or more robust or more efficient behaviour over the duration.
So far, so obvious. But consider the formalisation of the principle that objects evolve: instead of evolving the feature from zero functionality at the start to full functionality at the end, consider writing versions of the full object functionality. We define the following four versions of the feature:
We'll refer to the particular phase an object is in at any point in the project as the level of the class. A level 1 object has a null implementation; a level 4 object is optimal.
Some points to note: first of all, some objects will not naturally fit into this scheme. Some may be so simple that they go straight from null to optimal. Conversely, some may be so complex that they require more than four iterations. Neither of these scenarios presents a problem for us, since we aren't really counting iterations per se. We're effectively tracking implementation quality. In the case of an apparently simple object, we can only test it effectively in the context of any associated object at whatever level it's at. In other words, systems and subsystems have a level, which we can define slightly informally as:
L(subsystem) = min j L(objectj)
L(system) = min i L(subsystemi)
with L () denoting the level of an object, system or subsystem. Applying this idea to the application as a whole,
L(application) = min k L(systemk)
or in simple terms, the application's level is the smallest of its constituent object levels.
Now we need to put the ideas of level and of priority together to get some useful definitions, which form the basis of Iterated Delivery.
An application is defined as of release quality if and only if its required features are at the nominal level.
An application is referred to as complete if and only if its desired features are at the optimal level.
From these definitions, we see that there is a sliding scale that starts from a barely releasable product all the way up to implementing and polishing every feature the design specifies. The product just gets better and better, and – provided that the tasks have been undertaken in a sensible order – can be released at any time after it becomes of release quality.

Ami Model
Volatile AhnuvModel Female Tempe, Arizona, US
My Website: FacebookMy MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/VolatileAhnuv
Mayhem # 2567387
About MeI am very much a newcomer to the modeling industry, but I am well aware of how competitive and laborious it can be to be a model. At this time, I am simply pursuing a casual involvement in modeling. I am open and willing to try almost anything, and I am eager to meet and work with new people and to have to new experiences so as to broaden my horizons and have a little fun while doing so. One of my main concerns is promoting the glamorization of full-figured, healthy models in the industry - I want to show the world that one does not have to develop an eating disorder, or be rail-thin in appearance to be beautiful.
I'd also like to add that my measurements are 36 28 37. Please keep in mind that I am a tall girl, (5' 7") and I fill out nicely. I may not be tall and lithe, or petite and pixie, but I have a statuesque, voluptuous, sensual look that many men AND women prefer to the former body types. My goal is to further the image of health and beauty rather than that of an anorexic plasticized model with more fake parts than real ones.
I am also a freelance photographer, so I appreciate and know much about the different aspects of photography and art about which other models may be less knowledgeable. I believe that my portfolio speaks for itself as to my style - I am also very interested in engaging in new styles of modeling, such as fetish and body paint.
Feel free to contact me at any time, I am very flexible and I have reliable transportation. Let's make something amazing, together.
By the way, I know I should not have to say this, but please DO NOT USE these images without permission from either Robert Pruett (listed below) or myself.

KAMSA Ugrasena
|Died in Mathura, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India
|Immediate Family:
Biological son of Gandharva GODILA DRUMILA and PADMĀVATI Ugrasena
|Managed by:
|Private User
|Last Updated:

About KAMSA Ugrasena
Kamsa's birth history By:
Compiled by Mahavishnu Dasa
The Birth of Kalanemi: In days of old there was a king in Mathurapuri named Ugrasena, who married Padmavati the daughter of king Satyaketu of Vidarbha. While the couple were living happily in Mathurapuri Satyaketu wanted to see his daughter. He sent a messenger to Mathurapuri and brought Padmavati to Vidarbha. She walked along the vicinity of the palace in which she was born, enjoying the beauty of the scenery. She walked on and arrived on the mountain called Puspavan, and sat on the bank of a lake. At that time a Gandharva named Godila (Dramila) came there. He fell in love with her. He took the shape of Ugrasena and came near her and talked with her. Thinking that her husband had come from Mathura to see her she embraced him. After a while she understood that the visitor was not her husband. She began to curse him. The visitor admitted that he was Godila an attendant of Vaisravana. Godila went on his way. But she had become pregnant by that time. Her parents tried in various ways to destroy the child in her womb. One day the infant lying in her womb told her thus: "Mother ! you do not know who I am. I am the rebirth of a powerful asura named Kalanemi. In ancient days Visnu killed me in a battle between the gods and asuras. I have entered into your womb for revenge. Mother ! you need not take the trouble to destroy me." Saying so, the infant stopped speaking. After ten years Padmavati gave birth to the mighty and strong Kamsa. He was killed by Sri Krsna and he attained heaven. The killing of Kalanemi: Srimad Bahgavatam enjoins that once when there ensued a battle between the demigods and the demons, the latter over-powered the demigods. When the demigods could find no way to counteract the activities of the demons, they wholeheartedly meditated upon the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the creator of the universe, who then immediately appeared. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose eyes resemble the petals of a newly blossomed lotus, sat on the back of Garuda, spreading His lotus feet over Garuda's shoulders. Dressed in yellow, decorated by the Kaustubha gem and the goddess of fortune, and wearing an invaluable helmet and earrings, the Supreme Lord, holding various weapons in His eight hands, became visible to the demigods. As the dangers of a dream cease when the dreamer awakens, the illusions created by the jugglery of the demons were vanquished by the transcendental prowess of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as soon as He entered the battlefield. Indeed, simply by remembrance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one becomes free from all dangers. When the demon Kalanemi, who was carried by a lion, saw that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, carried by Garuda, was on the battlefield, the demon immediately took his trident, whirled it and discharged it at Garuda's head. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, the master of the three worlds, immediately caught the trident, and with the very same weapon he killed the enemy Kalanemi, along with his carrier, the lion. In this regard, SHrila Madhvacarya says: kalanemy-adayah sarve karina nihata api shukrenojjivitah santah punas tenaiva patitah "Kalanemi and all the other demons were killed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, and when SHukracarya, their spiritual master, brought them back to life, they were again killed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead." (SB 8.10.53-56) Kalanemi's rebirth as Kamsa: Formerly an asura named Kalanemi had six sons, named Hamsa, Suvikrama, Kratha, Damana, Ripurmardana and Krodhahanta. They were known as the shad-garbhas, or six garbhas, and they were all equally powerful and expert in military affairs. These shad-garbhas gave up the association of Hiranyakashipu, their grandfather, and underwent great austerities to satisfy Lord Brahma, who, upon being satisfied, agreed to give them whatever benediction they might desire. When asked by Lord Brahma to state what they wanted, the shad-garbhas replied, "Dear Lord Brahma, if you want to give us a benediction, give us the blessing that we will not be killed by any demigod, maha-roga, Yaksha, Gandharva-pati, Siddha, Carana or human being, nor by great sages who are perfect in their penances and austerities." Brahma understood their purpose and fulfilled their desire. But when Hiranyakasipu came to know of these events, he was very angry at his grandsons. "You have given up my association and have gone to worship Lord Brahma," he said, "and therefore I no longer have any affection for you. You have tried to save yourselves from the hands of the demigods, but I curse you in this way: Your father will take birth as Kamsa and kill all of you because you will take birth as sons of Devaki." Because of this curse, the grandsons of Hiranyakashipu had to take birth from the womb of Devaki and be killed by Kamsa, although he was previously their father. This description is mentioned in the Hari-vamsha, Vishnu-parva, Second Chapter. (SB 10.1 Additional notes to the chapter)

UPDATE 1-Chile March rate cut a unanimous decision - central bank minutes
(Adds central bank's comments, background)
SANTIAGO, March 28 (Reuters) - The Chilean central bank's decision to cut the benchmark interest rate earlier this month was a unanimous decision, minutes of the meeting showed on Friday.
But board members also weighed standing pat on the rate , the minutes showed.
The bank lowered the rate to 4.00 percent from 4.25 percent on March 13 and suggested more reductions could be in the pipeline.
Faced with easing growth and cooling domestic demand, especially in investment, the bank has cut the key interest rate by 100 basis points to 4.0 percent since October in an attempt to stimulate the economy.
"Keeping the monetary policy rate unchanged to wait for new evidence had the risk of arriving too late to prevent an undesired deceleration," the minutes said.
The bank had forecast in its last quarterly Monetary Policy Report (IPoM) in December that Chile's economy would expand between 3.75 and 4.75 percent in 2014.
Since then data has shown the economy in the fourth quarter grew at its weakest pace since early 2010, when a massive earthquake devastated the world's top copper producer. Full-year 2013 growth was 4.1 percent, the lowest since Chile's economy fell into a recession in 2009.
One of the bank's board members said that with the new cut, the key rate "was on a reasonable level given the prevailing conditions and facilitated decision making" because it eased pressure and allowed the proper tempering of policy actions. Continuación...

Others require an inpatient stay at a residential abuse treatment program. treatments, like those in most other states, offer everything from short-term, 30-day solutions up to 120-day and even longer-term alternatives. Talk to an advisor for more information on finding a recovery clinic in Florida for you or your loved ones.

Fundamental Precious Metals (2011-03-15)
Gold Descends as Japan's Nuclear Crisis intensifies
Gold stopped its two day advance and depreciated Tuesday on concerns that global recovery may be damaged due to Japan's strongest earthquake on record, along with the nuclear crisis which spurred a selloff in commodities Tuesday.
Bullion for immediate delivery dropped severely in trading to $1,416.84 an ounce compared with the opening levels of $1,428.30 an ounce, while setting a high of $1,428.35 an ounce and a low of $1,407.74 an ounce. Futures fell 0.59% to trade at $1,416.500 an ounce.
A third blast in Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant occurred today, while Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan said that the risk of radiation leaks continues on rising. Asian shares dropped, led by Japan's equity index, on concern that the country's recovery will be crippled.
The US dollar index, which tracks the performance of the currency against six-majors, traded near the opening levels of 76.682, while setting a high of 76.827 and a low of 76.594. Gold usually moves inversely with the dollar as commodities are a dollar weighted index.
Inflation in India unexpectedly increased last month, where Wholesales prices rose by 8.3 percent from a year earlier. The Reserve Bank of India will probably increase rates this week in order to control inflation.
India is the world's biggest consumer of gold, while hedging against inflation could spur the government into purchasing more gold to tackle rising prices in the country. Brazil, China, Indonesia and other countries started to hint for the possibility of increasing rates to tackle inflation levels.
RBI increased rates seven times during the past year, compared with five times in Brazil and three times in China, while Russia unexpectedly increased the refinancing rate from a record low last month, the first in more than two-years.
Today's FOMC rate decision will probably show the bank's monetary stance to remain unchanged during March, where analysts highly expect the bank will preserve the rate near record low of 0.0% and 0.25 percent.
The decision will help depreciate the value of the dollar, supporting further bullish trend for the precious metal to probably return and trade near record at 1,444.0.

He was "very close" to making a decision about a month ago and has decided to wait.
It is no secret that the 2010 class of quarterbacks is not as strong as the 2009 class on paper.There is alot of D1 schools looking for a quaterback and Watters could be that one.
We will see how that plays out a few years from now down the road with the 09 vs 10 classes of Qb's.
I got some calls last week from some people I trust in the industry and said Jonathan looked as good as ever throwing the ball at the 7 on 7 camp at Darlington.
" I was just real pleased with how we threw the ball over there. We are replacing some seniors we lost year and we did really well. A big part of that was Jonathan putting the ball where our kids could catch it and the defender couldn't get to it", said coach Jeff Shiftlett.
Rusty's Final Word- Looks like some new schools are getting involved and may have played a part in his decision to delay. Stay tuned to GAVSV.com as we will follow Watters until he makes his decision.

"Just wanted to update our beer page to include some more beers we've created:
Old Greg's Barley Wine - 8.5% ABV - vegan friendly
London Smoke (aka Smoke & Mirrors) Imperial Porter - 7.8% ABV - vegan friendly
Five Points IPA - 7.1% ABV - bottle and keg vegan friendly, cask not vegan"
Company email (July 2013):
"One of our fans on Facebook has made us aware of your excellent website, and I'd like to share the low-down of our beer here at The Five Points Brewing Company, letting you know what is vegan and what isn't.
We do 3 beers: our Five Points Pale, our Hook Island Red and our Railway Porter. Our Five Points Pale is 4.4%, brewed with Citra, Centennial and Amarillo hops. The Hook Island Red is a red rye ale at 6%, brewed with Chinook, Columbus and Simcoe hops. Our Railway Porter is made with East Kent Goldings and is 4.8%.
We do use isinglass (fish finings) for our cask versions of our Five Points Pale and Hook Island Red, but all our beer in bottle and on keg is vegan-friendly. Furthermore, the Railway Porter is vegan in all formats, whether cask, keg or bottle.
This goes for the many incarnations of these beers as well, which you can see online on Untappd, ie our First Brews and Trial Brews series.
At the moment we are still building our website and this information will be on there, but it will be really good to have this information on Barnivore. We want to make sure people are aware of which beers are vegan and which are not friendly for vegans and vegetarians."

The headline numbers in Commonwealth Bank's December half results will inevitably be looked at in the context of its 10 basis point increase in its home loan interest rate and will trigger another bout of charges that bank profits are too high and something should be done about it.
At face value that case can be made. A 19 per cent increase in statutory earnings and a return on equity of 19.2 per cent is, in the current economic climate, an impressive performance by the sector-leading institution.

Look to the skies for a festival of airborne colour this 14th to 16th August.
The Northampton Balloon Festival is one of the UK's biggest and best, and in the right conditions you can expect to see dozens of beautiful, brightly coloured hot air balloons floating in the sky above the Billings Aquadrome.

Plus, at 9pm on the Saturday, you can enjoy an amazing 'balloon glow', when the balloons are tethered to the ground and glow in the twilight like fantastic lanterns.
You can also meet the balloon pilots every afternoon, who will be happy to answer your questions about their beautiful aircraft. What's more, here's a fun fair, trade stands and craft stalls to enjoy when you're not admiring the balloons.
After the event, come back down to earth with a traditional pub meal and a drink in our historic riverside Britannia Inn, which is within easy reach of the festival and located just off the A45.Reserve your tableFind out more about the event

FedEx was indicted for delivering prescription painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs, sedatives and other controlled substances for illegal internet pharmacies. The operator of the world's largest cargo airline was charged by the U.S. with 15 counts of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, misbranded drugs and drug trafficking. The potential fine can be twice the amount of the money gained from the conduct. The fines are said to be at least $820 million for the company and co-conspirators. FedEx has denied any wrong doing.
The indictment was given on Thursday the 17th, 2014 of July in San Francisco, California's federal court. More than a year ago in a similar situation, the United Parcel Service (UPS) agreed to forfeit $40 million in payments it received from illicit online pharmacies under a non-prosecution agreement with the United States Justice Department. According to Larry Cote, an attorney and ex-associate chief counsel at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, The criminal case is an unprecedented escalation of the federal crackdown on organizations and individuals to combat prescription drug abuse. "Targeting a company that's two, three steps removed from the actual doctor-patient, pharmacy-patient relationship is unprecedented," said Cote, who advises companies in the drug supply chain on compliance matters.
FedEx and UPS are not the only companies being fined for their part in the illegal drug trade. Walgreens, a very popular pharmacy chain in the United States, agreed to pay an $80 million civil fine last year to resolve allegations that distribution center and pharmacies in Florida failed to report suspicious drug orders of oxycodone and knew, or should have known, that prescriptions filled weren't for legitimate medical use, according to the DEA. Along the same lines as Walgreens, CVS, also a well-known pharmacy chain in the United States agreed to pay a $78 million fine in 2010 to settle claims that some stores in California and Nevada allowed criminals to buy cold medications that were used to make methamphetamine.
The charges against FedEx will put an extreme strain on mail order pharmacies. Many of the online pharmacies rely on express shipping to get the medications to their clients as quickly as possible. With the government stepping in and fining these companies, expect for many internet pharmacies to shut down. "The DEA does believe that everyone in the supply chain is responsible and has an obligation to understand where their products are ending up," said Cote, calling that "a stretch."
Expecting all companies to accept responsibility of these issues seems to be a little tough. I doubt highly that these companies were aware of the amount of illegal activity that was going on. They are only one step in a chain of many for criminals to successfully obtain and sell these drugs. Many of these companies are so massive that it will be nearly impossible for them to control what is passed through the hands of every employee and every package. The government obviously means business and they expect higher accountability.

SESSION TITLE: Critical Care Case Report Posters I
SESSION TYPE: Affiliate Case Report Poster
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: "Chasing the dragon" is the method of heroin inhalation in which the drug is placed on aluminum foil and heated, producing a thick smoke, resembles a dragon's tail. This smoke is inhaled through a pipe. A rare but serious complication of this method is spongiform leukoencephalopathy, which is the formation of intracytoplasmic vacuoles within the myelin sheath, leading to neuronal loss and gliosis (1). We present a case of young woman with acute toxic leukoencephalopathy secondary to heroin inhalation - "Chasing the Dragon".
CASE PRESENTATION: A 22- year-old Caucasian woman with history of substance abuse was admitted to ICU for altered mental status. Her urine drug screen was positive for opioids, and she responded to naloxone injection. CT brain showed bilateral hypodensities in basal ganglia and internal capsule, while MRI showed bilateral globus pallidus infarcts and FLAIR hyperintensities in the posterior cerebral hemispheres. Diagnosis of an acute toxic leukoencephalopathy secondary to heroin inhalation was made based on her history of heroin abuse and classical MRI findings. She received Coenzyme Q therapy and her clinical status improved after 10 days of hospital stay. At time of discharge, she had residual deficits in gait and required assistance transferring from sitting to standing. Patient was discharged to a rehabilitation facility.
DISCUSSION: This case demonstrates the importance of high clinical suspicion of toxic leukoencephalopathy in a patient with heroin abuse and acute neurologic symptoms. Clinical presentation varies but should be suspected in heroin abusing patients with neurologic abnormalities, including pyramidal, extrapyramidal, or cerebellar signs. MRI is essential in the diagnosis and certain findings are pathognomonic, including diffuse increased T2 signal in cerebellar, brainstem, and supratentorial white matter tracts (2). Estimated mortality is 23% but may be improved with early recognition and coenzyme Q initiation (1).
CONCLUSIONS: Chasing the dragon is a rare but possible underecognised condition. When suspicion is high, T2 weighted MRI with FLAIR are the imaging modalities of choice and this can lead to early initiation with Coenzyme therapy.
