Neymar dips his toe in at Barcelona
BARCELONA — It is not that Neymar didn't try to crown his home debut with a goal. In the 45 minutes he spent on the pitch in Barcelona's 8-0 drubbing of FC Santos in Friday night's friendly, the Catalan club's new signing had three shots on goal and almost began celebrating before realizing he had actually hit the bar. His true mission, though, was somehow accomplished. With a classic tee-up for a wondrous Cesc Fabregas strike, Neymar provided an assist and showed with his feet what he had already said in his pre-match news conference: He's happy to take one for the team.
Although his signing by Barcelona was saluted as a massive coup on and off the pitch, his arrival has also been marked by doubts surrounding the feasibility of a partnership with Lionel Messi. Those doubts have been fuelled not only by the fact Neymar is the biggest brand in Brazilian football but also because of what has been described in his country as the "Messi curse" — since 2008, none of the players signed to partner the little Argentine genius managed to see out their contracts with the club.
"Messi is my idol, and I am here to help him remain the best player in the world," Neymar promised on Thursday, two days after playing his first 15 minutes for Barcelona in Poland, in a friendly with local team Lechia Gdansk in which he still seemed a little too eager to dribble his way into the box. Whether getting whacked five times by his opponents that day also helped is something heaven only knows, but, against his former club at the Camp Nou on Friday, the striker seemed obsessed with passing the ball as well as taking on the dirty work in the 17 minutes he and Messi shared on the pitch.
According to Brazilian stats service Datafolha, Neymar reclaimed possession more times in 45 minutes than Messi did in 62 (four to the Argentine's three). He also put in six crosses and passed 27 of the 31 balls he received during his participation, and he resorted to dribbling only three times. After hearing influential team-mates welcoming him to Catalonia with the warning that individuals are secondary in the greater scheme of things at Barca, Neymar seems to have got the message.
Make no mistake, this is far from intimidation. Neymar's rise in Brazil has been impressive, even if the last massacre Santos suffered at the hands of Barcelona — the 4-0 drubbing in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup final — exposed differences in the level of club football played across the Atlantic. When playing for Brazil or Santos, his team-mates would jump in front of a train to make him happy.
He is now in a different environment. At Barca, he's the new guy, the one who arrived for a fortune, generating a frenzy that some already accomplished team-mates have yet to experience. Neymar is also a kid gate-crashing the La Masia party, breaking the youth academy bias that had been dominating Barca's operations since the arrival of Pep Guardiola. Last but not least, it's the Lionel show more than ever, to the point that the blaugrana's new boss, Tata Martino, is from Messi's hometown, Rosario, and his last job was to coach Messi's beloved Newell's Old Boys.
At the same time, Neymar is pretty aware of what he represents for Barca. He was brought in by president Sandro Rosell not just for his ability as a player but for the commercial and political boost he can bring to a club that quite recently decided to "sell out" by accepting corporate sponsorship on their shirts to boost revenues in relation to nemesis Real Madrid. Neymar has probably noticed he is a statement of strength from a club unceremoniously dumped out of last season's Champions League by Bayern Munich's tactical bullying.
As he properly reminded a Brazilian journalist on Thursday, his displays for Brazil in the Confederations Cup, especially in the 3-0 victory over Spain in the final, have shown the whole adaptation-to-European-football issue should not be overplayed. True, Barcelona's ethos and dressing-room politics have stolen many a man's pride and faith, but, deep down, even Leo Messi knows Neymar can help share the burden of expectation and offer a solution to the lack of bite Barcelona showed outside La Liga last season.
It is to be hoped that there is true respect and admiration beyond the hugs and smiles, but both Messi and Neymar need this marriage to work, whether for love or just convenience. In this sense, Neymar's "sacrifice" for the good of the team — which saw him applauding his new team-mates while watching the first half of Friday's game from the bench — has certainly been a wise step in his blaugrana love affair.

First let me thank everyone here and at Redmondpie for helping me figure out what my iPhone 3g 8GB 3.1.3 7e18 05.12.01 problem is.
I was given this phone over a year ago and had to jailbreak it to use it. I was already using AT&T so it seemed like a good idea. Everything was fine until two weeks ago I was talking on it and it glitched, just repeating the last few milliseconds of the conversation over and over for about 30 seconds and then died. I tried to reboot it a bunch but I could get no signal.
Being an overconfident idiot, I installed the latest firmware planning to jailbreak it as easily as I had before. That's when I learned that 3.1.3 wasn't breakable yet. I tried to jailbreak it with redsn0w, blackra1n, tried PwnageTool and then AutoInstalled ultrasn0w but that hung the phone. So I restored with just PwnageTool, the only tool that worked, but now I get no wifi, no cellular, and I don't even get the firmware version information listed in Settings.
I think I've set up the phone OS right, and that isn't the problem with my device. I've either corrupted the baseband with all my jailbreak attempts, or the modem was dead in the first place and all this foolishness could have been avoided by replacing a chip.
The next step:
I've been looking at how to extract the modem NOR/NVRAM from the stock restore and manually flash the modem to get to some workable point. I can decrypt the deb files using a key I found on an Asian wiki using vfdecrypt, but from what I've read the files you need to actually do the flashing are signed by apple, and I'd have to do another restore and try to snatch the signed files from /tmp/ as the post is running before they get deleted. Even if I got those files I haven't found a recent tool to do the flashing...
My questions:
- How do I tell if it's the NOR/NVRAM that's corrupted, or if the chip itself is actually broken?
- Is flashing the modem chip NOR/NVRAM the answer, or even possible with 05.12.01?
- If it's not the NOR/NVRAM that's corrupted from all the jailbreak attempts, how would I go through the process of replacing the chip itself, and once it's replaced how do I get the iPhone OS to use it?
- If I end up having to replace the chip, are there schematics to the 'motherboard' of the phone and for the chip anywhere? I'm not afraid of doing a little soldering and multimeter testing.
- if I have to replace the chip, where are the best places to buy one, and will it cost less then replacing the whole phone?
So, I am truly asking for a tutorial, you anyone can give it, for people in my situation that answers the five questions above. If you post one here I'll be happy to post it elsewhere so that the chances of people asking the same question are lessened.
If I've posted this in the wrong forum, or with wrong or incomplete info, I apologize, and please let me know where I should direct my questions.
Thank you again!

Richmond Chapter of Credit Unions
We are a participating member of the Credit Union Service Center network.
The National Credit Union Administration today warned consumers to beware of a new telephone fraud, known as a "vishing" scheme, that is using the agency's name in an attempt to obtain personal financial information.
Several credit union members have been contacted by an automated phone call claiming to be from NCUA and notifying consumers their debit cards have been compromised. The call then asks the receiver to follow prompts, which request personal information, including sensitive financial data and personal identification information.
Anyone contacted by this so-called "vishing" scheme should immediately contact NCUA's Consumer Assistance Center Hotline at 800-755-1030 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com to report the scam. Operators answer calls Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern.
NCUA neither seeks personal information from consumers over the telephone nor handles day-to-day maintenance of member account information. NCUA works with law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to protect consumers from frauds of this nature.
NCUA urges consumers to never verify or release personal financial information to unknown callers.

Congress is considering the taxation of credit unions in order to close the budget gap. This taxation would be devastating to credit unions and their members, as it would directly challenge the non-profit, tax-exempt status that has allowed credit unions to serve as stalwart cheerleaders for working-class Americans. Please show your support for credit unions in America by visiting DontTaxMyCreditUnion.org and sending a message to your legislators telling them you do not want your credit union to be taxed.

Swing Set
Benny Goodman: "Sing, Sing, Sing"
The Paramount
Benny Goodman and his band arrived at the Paramount Theater on the morning of March 3, 1937 to find throngs of students waiting in line. Goodman had assumed that this engagement, which started at 8:30 in the morning and preceded a Claudette Colbert picture, wouldn't be that big of a deal. But when the band appeared on the slowly rising stage playing "Let's Dance," dance they didall 12,000 of them, spilling out into the aisles, on the bandstand, and anywhere else they could find room. Goodman took the audience through a typical set with all the hits while fans clamored for autographs and snatched up $900 worth of candy. By the time Goodman finished with "Sing, Sing, Sing" at the end of a forty-three minute set, it could be safely said that the Swing Era had begun.
The Killer-dillers
The roots of the hot jazz associated with "Sing, Sing, Sing" can be traced back to an earlier performance by Goodman at the Palomar. The current diet of the big band performance was mild pop tunes, which were held to be what audiences favored. But faced with a listless, indifferent crowd, Goodman turned to the band and said something like, "To hell with it, if we're going to sink, we might as well go down swinging," and launched into "King Porter Stomp." The crowd went wild, and from that point on, the medium tempo, "sweet" numbers took a back set to the "hot" numbers, what arranger Jimmy Mundy called the "killer-dillers." Mundy was recruited from the Earl Hines orchestra to pad out the Goodman book and write he did: he created more than four hundred charts during the three years he was with the band. While he could handle the pretty melodies, his most lasting contributions to the band were the high-octane, intense instrumentals that were intended to generate excitement within the crowds. "Killer-dillers" like "House Hop" and "Swingtime in the Rockies" helped establish the template for the jump tunes that after Goodman every band had to include in their book, but the most famous of them all was "Sing, Sing, Sing."
"Sing, Sing, Sing"
"Sing, Sing, Sing" is probably the most famous tune associated with Goodman, if not the entire Swing Era. However, it was originally a tune written by Louis Prima, and did feature vocals as the title suggests. Thus when it was imported into the band, it was originally intended as a feature for singer Helen Ward. However, the talented instrumentalists in the band kept changing it in performances, adding new passages and quotes from other songs like Chu Berry's "Christopher Columbus" to the point where it bore little resemblance to the original. But the most recognizable part of the song is Gene Krupa's drumming, which exists as a motif throughout the song. Ward recalls that one night Krupa refused to stop drumming when he got to the end of the third chorus and Goodman picked up his clarinet and soloed right along with him. The tune continued to morph in this fashion until it reached a length of eight minutes and filled both sides of a 78.
The Record
"Sing, Sing, Sing" bristles with energy and reckless abandon, all powered by Krupa. There isn't much organization or development of themes at all, but it was capable of whipping crowds into a frenzy every time it was played. The record begins with the tom-tom drumming of Krupa that forms the bedrock of the piece. The band enters and plays the familiar head with the reeds and horn tossing the melody back and forth. Goodman comes in for a brief solo with the horns punctuating his swinging phrases, which then gives way to a restatement of the drum theme. For the rest of the first side the band trades riffs with each other, the trumpets slowly building to a crescendo with the reeds darting and gliding. Krupa interjects at the end of each passage with a few measures of drum fills adding new accents to the basic pattern. On the last of these, Krupa takes his longest solo (Goodman seems to start his solo on accident before Krupa restates the theme, but he also does it at the Carnegie Hall Concert) before the full band comes in to bring the piece to the end of the first section. The second half of the piece (and Side Two of the 78) begins with a solo from Vido Musso backed by Jess Stacy and Krupa while the rest of the band quietly fans the flames from the back. Musso's wide vibrato and rhythmic kicks are followed by a brief Goodman solo under which the band builds to a growling crescendo. Another solo for Krupa, then a solo by Harry James backed solely by the rhythm section, who ever so gracefully builds to a bristling climax joined by the rest of the section, who then drop out while James deftly finishes off with a few high notes. To finish the piece, Goodman solos again, backed only by Krupa. Goodman's solo features some intelligent reworking of the melody and an almost sinister tone, yet not lacking in sophistication. Goodman and Krupa fade out as the solo develops. A cowbell signals the return of the full band, and Krupa's fiery press roll leads to the climax.
Gene Krupa
"Sing, Sing, Sing" made good use of the ferocious energy of Krupa, who was the showman of the band. A whirl of arms, hair, and chewing gum, Krupa knew how to work a crowd and cater to the audience. As pianist Jess Stacy related to Whitney Balliett, "Gene was our salesman, our showman, and he worked hard. You could wring water out of his sleeves when he finished a set." Quite naturally, then, "Sing, Sing, Sing" became a showcase for the drummer. Unfortunately, it also pointed to the trouble brewing in the band. The first to depart was Harry James, who suffered from anxiety from having to perform an over the top solo on "Sing, Sing, Sing" at the end of every night. He tried to convince Goodman to move it to the beginning of the show, but he refused. The pressure eventually caused James's departure.
The Split
But there was even more trouble between the leader and his drummer. Goodman grew weary of the loud, crazy music that he was forced to play, due in large part to Krupa's showmanship. He wanted his music to be appreciated on its own terms, not because of the theatrics involved, and wanted to avoid the uproar at his concerts that often drowned out solos. Goodman also resented the fact that when kids came for autographs, they rushed past him to get to the exuberant drummer. Eventually the tension erupted into squabbling on the bandstand, and shortly after the famous Carnegie Hall concert, Krupa tore up his contract and departed to form his own group. His new band specialized in the killer-dillers that Goodman was trying to put behind him, and he recruited Mundy to provide the dynamic arrangements (Musso was also a member of the band). Their debut in Atlantic City was a success, as Krupa called off one bombastic number after another, but the luster began to fade. One critic commented: "'it is not difficult to get a large outfit to pound and blare'but in a short time it becomes oppressive and monotonous." Fortunately, once the fad for killer-dillers was over, Krupa found the key to success in Anita O'Day and Roy Eldridge, who helped him make some excellent records in the forties. For his part, Goodman recruited Dave Tough as Krupa's replacement, a more modest, reserved man who was reluctant to take solos.
"Sing, Sing, Sing" illustrates the tension that always exists between being an artist and being an entertainer. Goodman was forced to play this tune at the conclusion of every show, yet wanted appreciation for the sophistication of his artistry. Krupa, on the other hand, preferred to feed off of the youthful exuberance of the crowd. Many sided with Goodman - Gunther Schuller in The Swing Era writes about the "horrors" of the tune and Krupa's "rigidly relentless pounding"but there was one moment where the tune achieved a brief moment of sublime elegance. At the Carnegie Hall concert, after the usual theatrics, Jess Stacy was allowed to solo and, given the venue, what followed was appropriate. Used to just playing rhythm on the tune, he was unprepared for a turn in the spotlight, but what came out of his fingers was a graceful, impressionistic marvel with classical flourishes, yet stll managed to swing. It was the best thing he ever did, and it's ironic that such a layered, nuanced performance came at the end of such a chaotic, bombastic tune.

NVHR Steering Committee member Michael Carden passed away on April 9th.
NVHR Steering Committee member Michael Carden passed away on April 9th. Michael was a strong, passionate advocate for harm reduction and the health needs of people who inject drugs. He worked as Project Director at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical College, where he managed studies of acute HCV infection in young injection drug users and multidisciplinary integrated care linking syringe exchange program participants to HCV treatment. He was a leader in hepatitis C advocacy in New York, and chaired the board of directors of two of New York City's leading syringe exchange programs, New York Harm Reduction Educators and Washington Heights Corner Project. He was also active in research advocacy through the Hepatitis C Advisory Board.
Michael was smart and wise, kind and funny, and well loved. His humor and generosity made him a good friend; his compassion and insight made him a skilled harm reductionist; and his intelligence and dedication made him a valuable advocate and ally.
At its heart, the harm reduction movement is a close-knit family of dreamers, radicals, and outsiders, tempering anger with hope, fighting stigma and marginalization with love. Michael was a beloved member of our family; he touched the lives of countless people, and his loss is deeply felt.

In my ten years writing game reviews, I've managed to review games in just about every genre. It doesn't matter how weird they are, I probably reviewed it. I've blasted my way through a shooter masquerading as a tactical role-playing game, battled it out with a 2D rapping dog and even played 3D games back before 3D was cool. But in all that time reviewing games, never before have I reviewed a tower defense game. Thankfully all that has changed, because I recently had the pleasure of going through Hudson's PSP tower defense game, Creature Defense. This inexpensive download title offers enough depth to warrant the price tag ... even if you're brand new to this genre.
Creature Defense combines the tactical gameplay of a standard issue tower defense game with the trappings of a card battling game (like The Eye of Judgment, a game you can link with this game). The addition of cards into the mix doesn't radically change the gameplay, the concept is for you to place your defensive units all around sides of the paths, giving them a chance to attack the waves of enemy units walking in formation. As you defeat enemies and pass waves, you will earn gems which you can use to bring more defensive characters in. You can also upgrade each unit, giving them new abilities and more powerful attacks. But be careful, if you don't manage your characters wisely you'll find that your defenses aren't enough and enemies will start to break through. Fail to kill too many enemies and it will be game over.
Although the concept seems simple at first, it won't be long before you will have to pay close attention to what types of units you use and when to upgrade over the course of a stage. Each battle is broken up into 50 different waves, including a huge variety of enemies of all shapes, colors, sizes and attributes. The waves begin with easy characters that won't take much effort to best. However, by the end of the 50 waves you'll have battled boss creatures, waves with multiple types of enemies and bad guys with drastically upgraded stats.
The good news is that once you've beaten back the 50 waves of bad guys, you will be able to collect your hansom reward and shop at the in-game card store. Here you will find all of your enemy cards, allowing you to pick up new units with brand new attributes to discover. Better yet, you'll also be able to customize your card collection to fit your next battle. Since you only get to take five cards into battle you will have to choose wisely. This will often come down to what types of enemies you're battling and what color their magical icon is. The game even allows for cards from The Eye of Judgment, the PlayStation 3 card battler.
Given what you're being asked to do, the controls are surprisingly solid. I expected the worst from the PSP D-pad and analog stick, but they worked well together and I rarely had problems placing the pieces where I wanted them. You can use the analog stick to quickly look over the battlefields, while the D-pad allows for a slower cursor for individual unit placement. You can speed up, slow down and even pause the action with the two shoulder buttons, plus get information about your units by using the face buttons. The heads up display does a good job at reminding you what the buttons do, and the whole thing was easy to learn for somebody brand new to this franchise.
The graphics are also fantastic. While most of the action takes place from an overhead point of view, all of the units (both good and bad) have interesting attacks and offer a unique look. The levels are gorgeous using a calming color pallet. Perhaps that's for the best, seeing as this game can send you into a frustration-fueled tizzy at a moment's notice. The presentation looks phenomenal on the PSP's screen.
Even with the unique card battling perspective, Creature Defense doesn't exactly break any new ground. If you've never been a fan of this style of game, I doubt this inexpensive PSP title is going to change your mind. Still, this is one of the very few tower defense games on Sony's handheld; it certainly has a place in the library. There's enough here to recommend Creature Defense, it looks great, has a lot of replay and makes for a great portable game when you're on the go.

I've got a question about opponents with weapons with different weapon length. I read the rules on p. 92, but I am not sure how it works.
It states "Armed with a medium or short hand-to-hand weapon [...] he cannot attack until successfully dodging."
What if the attacker with the long weapon doesn't succeed in his attack roll? The defender with the short weapon wouldn't have to make a dodge roll, so he can't attack on his turn? Or can he automatically slip inside the guard of the long-weapon user?
In addition I fear with these rules there will be lots of attacking and dodging just to change who of the opponents is possible to attack the other.
I tried to use the rule once but when it didn't work out (the short-weapon user practically unable to attack the long-weapon user), I skipped it and now I am working on some house rules. But maybe I just didn't got how the rule is supposed to work.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
If you want to buy a device to bring your old analog TV into the 21st century, a digital TV set top box is the easiest way to go about it. All you need to do is plug it into your TV antenna and connect it to your TV, and you'll have future-proof access to digital and analog TV. We've rounded up all the digital TV set top boxes and personal video recorders we've reviewed in the last year.
The Grundig Freeview High Definition Set Top Box is a simple product; it's a digital TV receiver with Freeview's excellent electronic program guide. We think it's a little expensive at its recommended retail price considering the lack of any recording ability, but if you can find it discounted it would make a great way to future-proof an old analog television.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is.

Bart Reijnen appointed new Astrium Bremen Site Director and Head of Orbital Systems and Space Exploration
Bremen, 01 February 2013
Bart Reijnen (40) has been appointed the new Astrium Bremen Site Director with effect from 1 February 2013. He will also be Head of Orbital Systems and Space Exploration within the Astrium Space Transportation business unit. In both roles he succeeds Dr Michael Menking (48), Site Director since 2010 and Head of Orbital Systems and Space Exploration activities since 2004.
Bart Reijnen's Astrium remit will extend to cover any activities relating to the area of human spaceflight and space exploration. This includes anything to do with the operation and utilisation of European ISS components, as well as responsibility for the ISS's Automated Transfer Vehicle ATV, zero-gravity research and development of the next generation of spacecraft for planetary exploration.

With some 1,000 highly qualified employees, the site is responsible for crucial European contributions to the International Space Station ISS, including the Columbus space laboratory and the unmanned Automated Transfer Vehicle ATV, as well as operating the European parts of the ISS. Furthermore, the site is developing and building the upper stage of the Ariane 5 launcher – the global market leader in commercial satellite transportation.
Since 2006, Bart Reijnen has been CEO of Dutch Space B.V. in Leiden, the Netherlands, a wholly owned subsidiary of Astrium. He has been working for the EADS group in various roles since 1995.
Michael Menking is transferring to the Astrium Satellites business unit, where he will be Head of Earth Observation, Navigation & Science (ENS) business activities.
About Astrium
Astrium is the number one company in Europe for space technologies and the third in the world. In 2011, Astrium had a turnover close to €5 billion and 18,000 employees worldwide, mainly in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and the Netherlands.
Astrium is the sole European company that covers the whole range of civil and defence space systems and services.
Its three business units are: Astrium Space Transportation for launchers and orbital infrastructure; Astrium Satellites for spacecraft and ground segment; Astrium Services for comprehensive fixed and mobile end-to-end solutions covering secure and commercial satcoms and networks, high security and broadcast satellite communications equipment and systems, and bespoke geo-information services, worldwide.
Astrium is a wholly owned subsidiary of EADS, a global leader in aerospace, defence and related services. In 2011, the Group – comprising Airbus, Astrium, Cassidian and Eurocopter – generated revenues of € 49.1 billion and employed a workforce of over 133,000.

Attacks on wireless clients
Security experts are always concerned with WLAN access points, but they sometimes forget that the client is also open to attack. Public hotspots make it quite easy for attackers to hijack connections, as the Hotspotter tool demonstrates.
Thanks to today's complex security mechanisms, wireless networks appear to be getting safer by the minute. Authentication constructions based on the EAP framework (Extensible Authentication Protocol) promises to keep uninvited guests at bay. The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) [1], with its quickly changing WEP keys, prevents replay attacks and makes cracking the encryption technology more complex. And keys are getting longer. WPA/ WPA2 [2] and the move to AES encryption [3] would seem to provide a nearly perfect security solution for enterprise networks. And just to make sure, access points are also equipped with VLAN support, Intrusion Detection, and firewalling systems – all of which cost serious sums of money.

Prescription drugs to treat constipation
Tegaserod (Zelnorm)
Tegaserod (Zelnorm) was approved in 2002 by the FDA specifically for the treatment of abdominal pain and constipation in women with irritable bowel syndrome. In March of 2007, the FDA asked Novartis, the company manufacturing tegaserod, to suspend sales of tegaserod in the U.S. because a retrospective analysis of data by Novartis from more than 18,000 patients showed a slight difference in the incidence of cardiovascular events (heart attacks, strokes and angina) among patients taking tegaserod compared to placebo. The data showed that cardiovascular events occurred in 13 out of 11,614 patients treated with tegaserod (.11%), compared to one cardiovascular event in 7,031 (.01%) placebo-treated patients. However, it is unclear whether tegaserod actually causes heart attacks and strokes. Doctors and scientists will be scrutinizing the data to determine the long-term safety of tegaserod.
The mechanism whereby tegaserod relieves constipation (and abdominal bloating and pain) is interesting and is related to its effects on the intestinal serotonin, a chemical that controls contractions of intestinal muscles. The contractions of the intestinal muscles control transit of digesting food through the intestine. More contractions speed transit, fewer contractions slow transit. In constipated patients, contractions are fewer.
Serotonin is a chemical manufactured by nerves in the intestine that is released and then binds to muscle cells. Depending on which receptor it binds to on the muscle, serotonin can either promote or prevent contractions. The serotonin 5-HT4 receptor is a receptor that prevents contractions when serotonin binds to it. Tegaserod blocks the 5-HT4 receptor, prevents serotonin from binding to it, and thereby increases contractions of the intestinal muscles. The increased contractions speed the transit of digesting food and reduces constipation. In addition, tegaserod reduces the sensitivity of the intestinal pain-sensing nerves and can thereby reduce abdominal pain.
In large placebo controlled trials involving men and women with chronic constipation, tegaserod was more effective than placebo in increasing the number of spontaneous bowel movements and reducing straining, abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, and abdominal discomfort. The most common side effect of tegaserod was diarrhea, which was usually mild or moderate and generally resolved within a few days while continuing treatment.
Lubiprostone (Amitiza)
Lubiprostone (Amitiza) is a selective chloride channel activator that increases secretion of chloride ions from the cells of the intestinal lining into the intestinal lumen. Sodium ions and water then follow the chloride ions into the lumen, and the water softens the stool. The FDA approved lubiprostone for the treatment of chronic constipation in both men and women in February 2006. At a dose of 24 micrograms twice a day, lubiprostone significantly and promptly increased bowel movements, improved stool consistency, and decreased straining. The most common side effect of initial clinical studies was mild to moderate nausea in 32% of patients treated with lubiprostone, compared to 3% of the controls. More long term studies of efficacy and side effects are needed to determine the place of lubiprostone in the treatment of constipation.
Linaclotide (Linzess)
Linaclotide (Linzess) is an oral drug that is not absorbed from the intestine. It stimulates the cells lining the small intestine to secrete fluid into the intestine. The increase in fluid secretion leads to an increased number of bowel movements. In addition, when constipation is associated with the abdominal pain of IBS, the pain also is reduced. Although the improvement in pain may be due to the improvement in constipation, linaclotide has been shown also to reduce the sensitivity of intestinal pain nerves, and this mechanism of action also may account for the decrease in pain.
Linaclotide is moderately effective, and it's effectiveness depends on how a favorable response is defined. In the studies leading up to its approval, linaclotide was associated with a predefined response of an increase in bowel movements and a decrease in pain in approximately one-third (33%) of patients as compared with 17% of patients who received placebo. The response was better when pain and constipation were considered separately, with responses of approximately 50% for either.
The only common side effect of linaclotide is diarrhea. It should not be used in children below the age of six because of serious toxicity (death) to very young mice in animal studies, and should be avoided in children ages six through 17.
Miscellaneous drugs
Several prescribed drugs that are used to treat medical diseases consistently cause (as a side effect) loose stools, even diarrhea. There actually are several small studies that have examined these drugs for the treatment of constipation.
Colchicine is a drug that has been used for decades to treat gout. Most patients who take colchicine note a loosening of their stools. Colchicine has also been demonstrated to relieve constipation effectively in patients without gout.
Misoprostol (Cytotec)
Misoprostol (Cytotec) is a drug used primarily for preventing stomach ulcers caused by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. Diarrhea is one of its consistent side-effects. Several studies have shown that misoprostol is effective in the short term treatment of constipation. Misoprostol is expensive, and it is not clear if it will remain effective and safe with long-term use. Therefore, its role in the treatment of constipation remains to be determined.
Orlistat (Xenical)
Orlistat (Xenical) is a drug that is used primarily for reducing weight. It works by blocking the enzymes within the intestine that digest fat. The undigested fat is not absorbed, which accounts for the weight loss. Undigested fat is digested by bacteria within the intestine and the products of this bacterial digestion promote the secretion of water. The products of digestion also may affect the intestine in other ways, for example, by stimulating the intestinal muscles. In fact, in studies, orlistat has been shown to be effective in treating constipation. Orlistat has few important side effects, which is consistent with the fact that only very small amounts of the drug are absorbed from the intestine.
It is unclear if these prescribed drugs should be used for the treatment of constipation. Although it is difficult to recommend them specifically just for the treatment of constipation, they might be considered for constipated individuals who are overweight, have gout, or need protection from nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.

Tiny little fuchsia flowers with long stems that make them look like miniature kites dot the walkway from the front door to the living room where the dog gate is propped in a zig-zag formation to keep the dogs away from the good furniture and carpeting. Before we moved in, the previous owners had a Chihuahua who made a star pattern in tinkling markings that despite new pad and carpeting to replace their hideous dusty rose colored flooring and bleaching the ground underneath and spraying "Dog B Gone" on the infected areas, my dogs with their 220 million smelling receive cells, headed straight for those spots and proudly declared them "theirs" with their urine.
Each morning I get up and walk the dogs. It's a ritual, a routine we've been enjoying for years now. No matter how often the pattern is repeated, they are as excited as if Ed McMahon himself had risen from the dead to ring your doorbell with a check for $20 million dollars. The little dog gets so excited he attacks the bigger dog, who shakes him off and runs back and forth with her toy waiting for me to snag her so I can snap on the leash. Out we go.
We have a set of four paths that we take, each winding its way for 1-3 miles. Depending on my mood, the weather, and how much time we have I'll usually let the dogs let me know which path to take. One is purely residential, a big loop around ours and the adjacent neighborhood. The seasons in California in the suburbs are marked more with the decorations that people put up than by the weather. Sure the days are shorter in the winter and chilly at night, the late winter is rainy and the dog days of August are hotter than Hades in a frying basket, but mostly we see the creek rise and sometimes flood, the flowers bloom and turn green in the winter and "golden" (aka brown & dead for those pessimists out there) in the summer. People dutifully put out their Shamrock doodads, then their Easter rabbits, 4th of July, Halloween, and then go bonkers for the Christmas holidays. No snow? No problem! The twinkling lights don't care.
Ours is a typical Northern California suburb. From afar the houses look like a boring mess of adobe colored tiling that are packed too close together and run in tracks in forced "neighborhoods", devoid of any cultural pulse according to my "city" friends, but we like this quasi Mediterranean-Mexican mix style and feel at home. Our yards aren't as big as where either of us grew up, but that's the price we pay for living in sunshine I suppose.
We walk through the cul-de-sacs and see bikes propped up, landscaping men (always men) in their long sleeves and hats, pruning and trimming the postage stamp sized lawns with their massive houses plunked at odd angles to create a faux semblance of privacy (our house is lucky, set apart from the others we don't look into anyone else's – this was a MUST for us to buy our house).
The truth is, we're very close together, but further apart than most other places I've lived. The crisis manuals warn that everyone should know where the young children and elderly are so that they can be gotten to first in case of a disaster, but I doubt most people on our street know what kids belong to which house, let alone their neighbors' names. This part saddens me.
The dogs sniff and sniff and sniff. And then they sniff some more. I often want to get inside their heads to learn what they're actually processing in all this sniffing. The dog trainers say that the butt-sniffing is a quick way to judge the health of the animal (and subsequent pack-level attitudes). Our dogs act tough towards some dogs and meek towards others. There is no obvious correlation of size – they jump on big dogs (as if the large ones couldn't toss them aside like an appetizer) and are frightened of very small ones (like Chihuahuas).
The other paths are to parks and along the creek and bike walkways. I try to go before the "mommy brigade" thunders out onto the pathway – you can hear them coming a mile away and they take the entire path and look at you and dogs as though you might hurt their precious cargo. This particular batch I don't like them in their herd mentality. Perhaps individually they are nice but in this pack they are loud and braying. The other groups we avoid are a bunch of kids, because kids don't always know their sense of space and they think my dogs are cute and want to pet them. My dogs ARE cute, but they're not kid-friendly when approached in the sort of windmill yelling manner children have.
Sometimes I'll let them run down by the creek. They love it. I hate it. I have to spend the next couple of hours picking burs and arrowheads out of their fur and washing them off. They hate that part too, but the romps in the water seem worth it, at least once in a while.
The one thing I insist on is every spring, for the two weeks that the pear and cherry blossoms are hanging pregnant with their joyous bundles, we have to walk down "flower way" where the smells are intoxicating. I can bury my nose in the blooms, popping out like little milkways, for hours. There is no smell that can be manufactured to be as delightful as those fresh blossoms. I wish they lasted longer. The snowball trees will keep their blooms for about a month, but they have no scent (at least until Autumn when the leaves turn into a sticky syrup that coats the sidewalks with its messy resin and leaves black walnut stains everywhere).
If we walk along the bike trail, we always see odd things. We've "rescued" lots of dogs who've escaped while families fumble around in their rushed morning routines, we saw a sign posted once about a serial killer in the making who had killed their cat and left it in their garbage (it later turned out the cat had been hit by a car and another neighbor recognized it and left it in their garbage so at least they'd know). Today we saw a cat tail, so maybe there is a serial-killer-to-be in our area. My dogs sniffed it for an eternity, not understanding. Or at least I think they didn't understand. Not too far from this odd site was a massive, HUGE, steaming pile of doo-doo. This made no sense. It was way too much for a dog, but it was compacted and piled unlike a horse does. Were the two things related? Was a lion on the loose? I kept my eye out.
Studying our neighbors' landscaping as we walk reflects their style – country, exotic, couldn't-care-less, wild. I believe it when they say there are more than 2000 types of palm trees in the world. Not quite Hawaii but lots of different kinds, often with volleyball nets tied between them. My favorite time is spring, when the poppies and daffodils sprout, the blossoms are giving us our closest thing to "snow" and the pale purple of the lavender plants sit next to the last hisses of the bright red berries that slash across them, trading bright for the soft hues of summer.
We've been followed by lost dogs, lost children, and once, by a coyote. He was across the creek, but that would be nothing for this guy to cross. I was on a part where the closest house is a ways away, and that thing slunk low and followed us for at least half a mile, despite my yelling and waving my arms and throwing a rock at it. It wasn't afraid at all. Finally I picked up my dogs and ran towards the street. It must have known that was its limit for I saw it bounding back across the field.
But the oddest thing I've ever had happen while on our morning walk was passing a path regular, a nice old man with a Golden Retriever who was on her last legs. She had hip dysplasia and pained her to walk, but she loved her walks so much that he'd bring her in his car and put her at the head of the train and he'd walk ahead and sit on the park bench and read his paper while she made her slow journey towards him, nuzzling him for a reward petting when she finally reached her human.
One day he was sitting there and we approached from the opposite direction with another dog following us. I asked him if he could hold my dog's leashes for a minute while I checked this dog out. The dog had a collar with an address and nothing else. I didn't recognize the street, so I wanted to bring the dog back to my house so I could look it up. We were on the same stretch where there were no houses, and bounded on the long ends of the trail by busy streets, so the dog's chances for getting home safe were compromised. The dog was some sort of sheep or sheltie mix, friendly and happy to be around us.
The gentleman with the Golden Retriever put her in the car and we walked across the street. He followed me part way and I took it from there. A mile and a half later we were at my house, so I put this fluffy guy in the backyard and looked up the street address on mapquest. It didn't exist. Great! So I went out front and was trying to figure out what to do as I had to go to work, when a cop drove by. I flagged him down and he was kind enough to have someone at the station look up th street for me – some new street that hadn't been mapped yet. This happened all the time with housing developments springing up practically overnight.
I put the dog in my car and drove over to their house. They had an old house, a smaller house with a big front lawn. The hose was running, the garage door was open and there was a truck parked in the driveway. The dog got out excitedly, so I figured this was his house. I knocked on the front door. No answer. I went around to the garage door and banged again – no answer. I hesitantly went to the back door and saw the sliding patio door was open a few inches. The dog wiggled its way inside and I pulled it open to help, and noticed that there was a hot cup of coffee and two half eaten bowls of cereal on the table alongside the milk carton. WHOA! Either I watch too many cop drama shows or this family had either been abducted by aliens in the middle of breakfast or slaughtered in the back room! I tried to get the dog to come, but he was running through the house. He didn't seem to be distressed and plopped down on the sofa, so I closed the door and went back around front.
I sat in their driveway for 20 minutes, hoping someone would come. I had left my cell phone at home, but I wasn't too far. I left them a note that I'd found their dog & had put him inside, and gave them my number if they had any questions. I drove home, thinking that I might call the cops and explain and ask them to look in. When I got home 10 minutes later, my dogs were wondering where their new friends were and I checked my messages. Sure enough, there was a message from the owner, a woman who I'm sure if she thought about it more wouldn't have done it, but her voice message was initially nasty asking WHY I had opened the door to their house! It then tapered off into a nicer thank you very much, that when they realized the dog had gotten out the entire family ran outside and had gone looking for him. I listened to that message several times, finally laughing about it. I wish I'd saved it because it was funny.
Most days our doggie walks are uneventful. Happy pulling (Cesar Millan would be appalled), running down the path or across the park field, sniffing sniffing sniffing, pooping and peeing all over, and coming home exhausted and happy and filling the house with those little pink kite-flowers.

A Texas woman had an unexpected surprise when she returned to her car following a lunch break.
Renee Conlan said she stopped at a Houston suburb for lunch Thursday, but when she returned she found her car covered with thousands of bees.
She captured video of the swarm of bees clustered to her white Honda SUV using her cell phone camera while her friend called animal control.
Sean Kennedy responded to that call, removing the bees with a smoker and placing the in a bucket. Now they are living in a new home on Kennedy's own bee hive rehabilitation land.

The 6-foot knife that symbolized Northern sentiments in 1860.
The "Monster Knife" of John Fox Potter
After a series of fistfights and arguments in Congress, on April 12, 1860, Wisconsin congressman John Potter, an outspoken opponent of slavery, was challenged to a duel by a Virginia representative. Potter accepted the challenge but insisted that the duelists wield bowie knives "at a distance of four feet." His challenger, Rep. Roger Pryor of Virginia, beat a hasty retreat, and Potter received gifts of bowie knives from sympathizers all over the country. One month after the Potter-Pryor affair, the Republican Party held its national convention in Chicago and nominated Abraham Lincoln for president. At the convention, delegates from the slave state of Missouri presented John Potter with the 34-pound, 6 ½-foot-long folding knife shown here. It was a highlight of the convention and earned national press exposure when
Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper
dubbed it the "monster bowie knife." Six months later the nation would be descending into the bloodiest war in its history.

New Coat of Arms and a Mace
Restoration of the Grand Parade
Rehabilitation Programme and Halifax Hall
National Historic Site
This video was shown as part of the Doors Open Halifax event held in June, 2013.
Halifax City Hall in 2004
© 2004, HRM/K O'Rourke
It was a lovely summer afternoon in Halifax on 18 August 1888, the day proclaimed for laying the cornerstone for Halifax's new
City Hall. At four o'clock dignitaries from the city, the Provincial government and from Halifax County and Dartmouth, led
by a band and the Halifax police force, paraded from the old city hall on the waterfront, up George Street to the Grand Parade,
where an "immense crowd" had assembled.
After the band played appropriate music, Mayor Patrick O'Mullin delivered his address. He compared the Halifax of 1841, the
year of its incorporation, with the present day, emphasizing the progress made in lighting and improving the streets and the building
of sidewalks, construction of a public water supply, creation of a police force and a fire department second to none, a street
railroad and a public school system. He concluded by saying:
I am quite sure [this edifice] will be an ornament to the city and a credit to the architect and the builders, and indeed to all concerned.
I am quite sure [this edifice] will be an ornament to the city and a credit to the architect and the builders, and indeed to all concerned.
After the assemblage sang a hymn, a sealed copper box was placed inside the cornerstone, containing such items as newspapers
of the day, and the corner stone then lowered into position. Mayor O'Mullin tapped it with his silver mounted mallet, declared
it well and truly laid, and invoked God's blessing on all concerned.
At the mayor's invitation, some thirty or more of the dignitaries gathered in the council chamber. Proceedings began with the
Mayor's toast to "Our guests", and the "city fathers" sang "For they are jolly good fellows". After "a very pleasant and profitable
two hours were spent", the gathering dispersed to the singing of "Auld Lang Syne".
Haligonians had insisted that their new City Hall be located on the Grand Parade, the focus of civic life since the city's founding
in 1749. On 21 June in that year, some 2500 settlers, had arrived at what the Mi'kmaq called "Chebookt", meaning "chief harbour"
or "great long harbour". Most of the settlers were English, but there were also among them Swiss, Irish, Jews, and Germans.
George Montague-Dunk, Earl of Halifax, President of the Board of Trade and Plantations, had been instrumental in obtaining
British government approval for the projected town. And so in his honour the new town was named Halifax.

Brandon Knight a game-time decision against Wizards
WASHINGTON – Brandon Knight stood in a Verizon Center hallway staring at Arnie Kander's feet.
Kander demonstrated a footwork drill like a dance instructor teaching steps, and Knight mimicked it. They repeated the drill a few times.
Knight practiced yesterday and participated in today's shootaround, but he's still a game-time decision pending Kander's call, Lawrence Frank said.
Thankfully, the Pistons aren't rushing Knight back this time.
"There has to be zero hesitancy that he can do what he does," Frank said.

Well i guess can relate to Knight a little more than most at the moment. I sprained my MCL on Tuesday night playing in a local basketball competition. We were on defence and one of my teammates went to take a charge and sprawled to the ground and landed on the outside of my knee pushing it inwards. I go for an MRI later today but from previous experience think i am out for at least 4-6 weeks.
Now looking at Knights injury and the position the pistons are in i personally think he would be silly to rush back. Any kind of knee injury you have loosens the whole knee joint which actually weakens it. Knight needs to worry about next season IMO.

Bought this backpack a little over a year ago. I love the design and style of incase backpacks, and was initially obsessed with this backpack. I also found it to be very comfortable even when filled to its capacity.
HOWEVER, I bought this for my senior year of college.. aka I had a lot of textbooks to haul around, in addition to my mbp. It seemed to be high quality and heavier duty than other backpacks i've owned in the past. I never filled the backpack past its capacity, and within a year after buying it, one of the shoulder straps had ripped at the base. I first started to see the seams attaching the strap to the backpack gradually beginning to pull apart after about 6-8 months. Tried to tape it together, but eventually the backpack was unusable. First time i've purchased an incase product, and was honestly expecting for it to last significantly longer than it did. In incase's defense, I did have a pretty textbook-intensive major, so if you arent using this bag to carry more than 1 or 2 smaller textbooks (in addition to your mbp), i'm sure it would work fine. I just expected more for the price, and was pretty disappointed.
Light and extremely comfortable. Ive had about a dozen of different backpacks (one incase Campus too) - None are as comfortable as this one. The inner pockets leave a bit to be desired when it comes to storing a power adapter and gear i need for my laptop. I've had it for over two years and it doesn't look worn out in anyway. Great value!
I'd rate it as 4.5 if possible
It's a handy backpack. It's just the right size and is rather simple and unobtrusive. Other backpacks often have too many compartments and pockets, leaving me scrambling to find items hidden deep in their recesses. But this bag gets it just right.
However, there are some issues. The bag has a small inner pocket for holding electronic accessories and pens — it's too small and flimsy. Stuff falls out of it easily. It's nearly useless. The pocket for the iPad is also flimsy and offers little protection. Last, but not least, the zipper is a bit weak and will come off after about a year, rendering the bag useless.
A better experience through good design.
