(promethazine HCl and codeine phosphate) Oral Solution
Respiratory Depression in Children and Death Related to Ultra-Rapid Metabolism of Codeine to Morphine
Respiratory Depression in Children
The combination of promethazine hydrochloride and codeine phosphate is contraindicated in pediatric patients less than 6 years of age. Concomitant administration of promethazine products with other respiratory depressants has an association with respiratory depression, and sometimes death, in pediatric patients.
Postmarketing cases of respiratory depression, including fatalities, have been reported with use of promethazine hydrochloride in pediatric patients less than 2 years of age. A wide range of weight-based doses of promethazine hydrochloride have resulted in respiratory depression in these patients.
Death Related to Ultra-Rapid Metabolism of Codeine to Morphine
Respiratory depression and death have occurred in children who received codeine following tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy and had evidence of being ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine due to a CYP2D6 polymorphism.
Each 5 mL (one teaspoonful), for oral administration contains: Promethazine hydrochloride 6.25 mg; codeine phosphate 10 mg in a flavored syrup base with a pH between 4.8 and 5.4. Alcohol 7%.
Inactive ingredients: Artificial and natural flavors, citric acid, D&C Red 33, FD&C Blue 1, FD&C Yellow 6, glycerin, saccharin sodium, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, sodium propionate, water, and other ingredients.
Codeine is one of the naturally occurring phenanthrene alkaloids of opium derived from the opium poppy, it is classified pharmacologically as a narcotic analgesic. Codeine phosphate may be chemically designated as 7,8-Didehydro-4, 5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-α-ol phosphate (1:1)(salt)hemihydrate.
The phosphate salt of codeine occurs as white, needle-shaped crystals or white crystalline powder. Codeine phosphate is freely soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. It has a molecular weight of 406.37, a molecular formula of C18H21NO3•H3PO4 • ½ H2O, and the following structural formula:
Promethazine hydrochloride, a phenothiazine derivative, is chemically designated as (±)-10-[2(Dimethylamino)propyl] phenothiazine monohydrochloride.
Promethazine hydrochloride occurs as a white to faint yellow, practically odorless, crystalline powder which slowly oxidizes and turns blue on prolonged exposure to air. It is freely soluble in water and soluble in alcohol. It is soluble in water and freely soluble in alcohol. It has a molecular weight of 320.88, a molecular formula of C17H20N2S•HCl, and the following structural formula:
What are the possible side effects of codeine and promethazine (Codeine Phosphate-Promethazine HCl, Promethazine HCl and Codeine Phosphate, Promethazine with Codeine)?

If you're looking to add a reliable, popular and free media center app to your computer, then XBMC is one of the best to go for. Want to go even further? You can press an older computer or small form-factor PC into service as a dedicated media server and center using XBMC at its core via a number of specially constructed Linux builds. And if space is tight – or you'd like to run XBMC directly off a USB flash drive or SD card – then OpenELEC is the build to go for.
Installation is refreshingly simple – all you need is a spare USB thumb drive (256MB or greater) in addition to whatever media you plan to install OpenELEC on. Then it's a case of downloading the installer and following the guide at the OpenELEC wiki.
Once installed, OpenELEC functions exactly in the same way XBMC does. Unlike Linux-based builds like XBMCbuntu, there's no underlying Linux OS to worry about – OpenELEC has been built from scratch with the sole intention of running XBMC, so it's completely self-contained within the familiar XBMC graphical interface. It does mean you can't do anything but run XBMC, but considering a full install takes no more than 125MB of space on your drive, it's a price well worth paying.
What's new in 6.0.3?
- non working DVB driver for WeTek and OpenELEC box
- some CEC fixes for WeTek and OpenELEC box
- some fixes for language problems
- fixes for NOOBS (RPi)
A beautifully designed self-contained system for running XBMC. If you don't need any other functionality from your computer, install this.

Deer hair bug - rubber/hackle legs (swap entry)
1 Attachment(s)
Here's one of Pete's deer hair bugs for the current swap. I'll let him add the recipe.
Recipe (applies to all of the bugs I sent)
1- tie in some tails, cheapo saddle hackle
2- tie in some rubber legs, long enough that they will "dangle" behind the fly (sometimes in back, the middle, the front or all of the foregoing)
Overwrap the "tying in" location of the hackle & rubber legs on the hook to set the first bunch of deer hair to be spun
3- Spin deer hair (Go crazy with your colour selection and mixes)
Use the coarsest hair you have. Spin & pack till you have enough to cover the hook and create the shape/profile you want
4- Don't use your best hackle scissors, but shape the body profile
5- If you want to get fancier, use a razor blade to "finish" the profile
6- Eyes are craft store doll eyes, glued on with Cryo glue (crazy glue stuff) I put some glue wher the eyes will go and let it dry, then I put more glue on that spot and one the eye and press them on.
These flies are so easy and inexpensive to make, I don't really worry about the "durability factor". I also re-use the hooks over & over again. These are tied on Gama size 1/0 or 2/0 wide gape. Any similar hook will do.
My experience with Bass Bugging is that they will hit just about anything that looks annoying enough to them and makes a big splash!

Winter has always traumatized New Englanders, but because of the economy (thanks, rapacious mortgage-bundling douche bags!), this past season was particularly grim. If you're anything like us, you spent the hibernation months of '09 filling your discontented belly with cheap-ass comfort foods like ramen noodles and Taco Bell Crunchwraps. But it's summer now, and even though you're still broke, you have options beyond the quickie, in-out-of-the-cold fast-food garbage: there's cheap and healthy food brought almost to your doorstep, straight from Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms and the like. So snap out of your sodium coma and stop stuffing dollar bills into Mickey D's G-string for those "value meals." You can get real value by visiting the outdoor markets popping up on almost every corner through October. Follow our guide and you should be rolling in fresh produce and sustainably raised meat for months.
COPLEY SQUARE In order to reach this bustling market on my late-May trek, I had to first wade through a gauntlet of warm-weather-emboldened MASSPIRGers, panhandlers, and testy anti-war protesters. A mother lode of locally hewn goodies awaited me. On the carbohydrate front, Breadsong Bakery battled for my attention with Iggy's peddled crusty loaves, while the Danish Pastry House offered sweet-toothers cookies and crunchy almond clusters. As for bread spreads, I was torn between Crystal Brook Farm's herb-studded chevre (wrung from their own Saanen and Alpine goats), and Deborah's Kitchen jams (which, at $3 to $7 a jar, are worth the splurge; a broke-ass summer of PB&J is a hell of a lot better when the "J" comprises the berry ambrosia that is "Massachusetts Rubies"). At the stand for Siena Farms (Oleana chef Ana Sortun's CSA farm in Sudbury), the bins overflowed with rhubarb ($4/pound), green garlic ($1 each), Boston lettuce ($3/head), and bundles of irises. In addition to the greens — I ended up snagging a humongo bag of spinach for $4 — the stand's shelves were packed with goodies from Sortun's Sofra bakery, including pickles and Persian spice blends.

HARVARD SQUARE Situated next to the Charles Hotel, this modest outpost may boast only a few stalls, but it packs a wallop. In fact, you can actually smell this market long before you catch a glimpse of it. That's thanks to Q's Nuts, whose on-site open-flame nut roaster, on the day of my visit, kicked up an irresistible aroma of caramelizing sugar. "I'm all sweets over here," announced the guy manning Q's nut cauldron. At 11 am on Sunday, the market was abuzz with O.G. Cantabrigian earth muffins and sinewy yuppies clutching jogging strollers, dogs, and/or yoga-mat-sprouting tote bags. For them, Hi-Rise Bakery was selling the crunchiest granola the People's Republic has to offer ($6), in addition to boules of whole grain, raisin-pecan, and cheddar-pepper breads ($4 to $8) and a formidable array of preserves (raspberry, fig-chocolate, strawberry, cherry, and plum-orange; $7 to $12). Nearby, the horticulturally inclined swarmed Grateful Farm's booth for its seedlings and potted herbs ($3.50/each; $6/two); the less ambitious, meanwhile, were free to peruse freshly cut spearmint, rosemary, and sage ($2/bunch).

What Do You Do With Your Commercial Purchases?
Posted 17 October 2012 - 05:12 PM
So far, I have used my supplies to create layouts for me, a thank you card and a few gifts. But, if I wanted (and I bought the correct licence of course) how might I use my supplies?
If you buy commercial licences I would love to know why and how you use them.
Posted 17 October 2012 - 07:12 PM
commercial licenses are also for people who want to create their own products for sale or use in their scrap-for-hire businesses.
So, say I wanted to create a new embellishment for a collection of mine and I loved a ScrapSimple product that suited my collection perfectly. I would buy the commercial license and then would be able to personalise the product to my style, collection, etc and then include it in a collection I was to sell to others.
hope this makes sense

I use my commercial product to make things (like T-shirts) to sell and for scrap-for-hire. I also use them occasionally for things at church (like table tents to advertise events and decorations for programs) since I'm paid for my time to create them.
FYI - You'd need a commercial license for church things even if you weren't paid to create them.

Ohh, light bulb moment. I've made a couple of gifts, but one was printed on photo paper and one on canvas, I've never thought about doing layouts for tshirts or mugs. I wonder if that is all my christmas gifts sorted...?

I understand using commercial items to produce leaflets and brochures for people. I also think it is really cool that you can use items to help you create your own, although even with that starting point I don't have any idea how the designers create things, I am very grateful to you. I am curious about the concept of scrap for hire. Is it something that people really pay for? I find the whole process of scrap booking very personal and I can't imagine asking someone else to do a layout of my pictures and my journalling.
Thank you for your answers. I have no intention of going down any of these routes at the moment as I have enough of my own layouts to do, but I like to collect answers when I think of questions.

By Tiernan Ray
Shares of Seagate (STX) are up $2.73, or 7.4%, at $39.67, and were as high as $39.92 at one point, after the company last night reported fiscal Q3 revenue and earnings per share that topped consensus, and offered a forecast for this quarter's revenue that was above expectations as well.
Following the report, I spoke with Seagate's CFO Pat O'Malley, who to,d me that pricing in the industry remains largely "benign." Based on Seagate's reported numbers, its average selling prices were roughly flat, year over year. On a like-for-like basis, the company was able to cut the price decline from a recent 4% rate to a 2% year-over-year decline.
What that means is that through greater capacity and more sophisticated capabilities, the company's prices for similar sorts of drives didn't fall as much as they have tended to do.
But O'Malley said there is a great deal of uncertainty in the demand outlook among customers, with the surge in the use of drives in cloud computing offset by the decline in personal computer sales.
O'Malley says the company at some point will likely need to add substantially to its spending on new factories to meet the cloud computing opportunity, but for now the company is being "disciplined" in its capital spending, with the assumption that it is better to end up having too little supply, or perhaps even shortages of drives, rather than too much.
When I asked O'Malley how that situation might resolve itself, he offered that at some point, the company's customers themselves might have to actually share in some of the cost of new factories.
There are three upgrades of the stock this morning, that I can see, from Needham & Co., Brean Capital, and Noble Financial, though Craig-Hallum's Christian Schwab actually cut his rating on the shares to Hold from Buy, while maintaining a $40 price target.
Needham & Co.'s Richard Kugele raised his rating to Buy from Hold, and set a $45 price target, writing that "Although we believe STX has somewhat fewer levers to pull than WDC on the cost side of the equation in C13 and C14, we believe the worst is now behind Seagate."
Kugele thinks Seagate has done a good job of navigating competition brought by Western Digital:
STX pivoted well to nearline drives as some fleeting enterprise share reverted back to WDC (which had been one of our concerns at the time of our downgrade [9/6/12]) [...] Bottom line, if this is as bad as it gets for STX (an easy argument given the limited demand visibility and OEM product shift challenges) then our previous concerns for market share degradation, margin pressure and stock price declines are no longer valid. As we look into the end of C13 and into C14, we expect STX cash flow generation to continue and bolster its buyback, further driving the stock higher.
Kugele thinks both Western and Seagate are entering a world where the raw aggregate growth in data storage needs is trumping the typical focus on disk drive volume demand:
We believe STX (and WDC) make a compelling argument that exabyte
shipments are more relevant now than units. The industry is nearing its 500 exabytes per year of capacity. Should near-line continue to accelerate (as the cloud seems likely to spur) shortages could spur price increases and a shift away from lower-end drives, further driving prices and margins.
Macquarie's Schwab sees little to move the stocks from here:
Similar to our recent downgrade of Western Digital, we struggle to see the potential for meaningful share price appreciation from current levels with the stock trading to nearly $39 in the aftermarket. As a result, we are downgrading Seagate to Hold from Buy and maintaining our $40 price target [...] Seagate is optimistic regarding Exabyte growth which is being driven by the trajectory of data growth in mobile and the cloud. In the first 9 months of the fiscal year the company shipped 138 Exabytes of storage and believes the industry is on pace to ship 500 Exabytes in calendar 2013 which is roughly 2x the expected rate of areal density growth. As a result, management expects continued absorption of capacity that should enable the company to stay within its target gross margin range. That being said, we would move to the sidelines and look for a better potential entry point sometime this summer when there will likely be greater visibility into second half PC demand.

Victor Larez has been the best in the bullpen for the Leones del Caracas and even the league. The righty ended his great campaign with a minuscule ERA of 0.76, the product of only three earned runs in 35 1/3 innings. Larez led the club with 32 appearances, striking out 25, issuing 11 walks and allowing 20 hits. The three runs were via two home runs, numbers that earned him a spot in the league All Star Game. The Leones expect to continue having the services of Larez for the postseason since it has not received the "stop" order.
Wilsen Palacios has also excelled in the bullpen in the capitol of Venezuela. The 23-year-old ended the regular round with a 1-1 record and a 4.95 ERA in 20 innings pitched. Palacios missed 5 innings of his expected limit, so he is expected to continue in the semifinal and finish his schedule.
Ramon Cabrera, one of the newest Tigers, has also gotten plenty of work in as the catcher. Cabrera was in 32 of the 63 games of the season at catcher for the Leones. In 90 at-bats, he only managed 24 hits, three doubles and a home run with 12 RBIs, good for a .267 average.
Hernan Perez managed to stay all year in the big club for the Leones del Caracas, although he participated in 41 games, the infielder was able to show his talent on defense and expects more chance sat the championship in January. Perez, batted .222 going 20-for-90,with 12 RBIs.
Jose Ortega gave an acceptable performance while pitching in 2012-2013 season, with the Navegantes del Magallanes and is available to the team for the semifinal. The righty amassed 22 innings, allowing 27 hits and 15 runs. He finished with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 5.14
Argenis Diaz was not very active in the regular season with Magallanes, but will be on hand in January and seek to find his stroke at the plate. He expects to receive the support of the team, even if full of big leaguers, Diaz has been sacrificed often to the bench for the team and only participated in 17 games and was 4-for-31 (.129).
The Possible absentees for the Finals
Bruce Rondon (the Navegantes del Magallanes) could not be with the team during the Round Robin, and although it'ss not definite, the pitcher seems to have ended his participation in Venezuela. Already the team sought a closer who would fill this vacancy. Rondon finished the regular season with 16 1/3 innings pitched, with a 4-1 record and 4.41 ERA.
The Caribes de Anzoátegui, the other team in the semifinal of the Venezuelan Winter League, and where Avisail Garcia, Omar Infante and Brayan Villareal play, have refused to give an explanation on the future of Omar Infante. He has already recovered from a fractured left wrist, and was expected to make his debut with the team last week. However, it was learned that there was no communication with the player and therefore he was not with the team, which is why his participation in Venezuela is unknown at this point in the season.
For his part, it is almost certain that Avisail Garcia will be absent in the Venezuelan semifinal. The outfielder said earlier this season that he would play until December because he would attend a mini-camp in Detroit prior to Spring Training. The Caribes acquired a power-hitting outfielder in the draft of substitutions for the Round Robin, likely sealing Garcia's departure.
Meanwhile, Brayan Villarreal is still recovering from tendinitis and will depend on Detroit's decision to leave Villarreal postseason for play or let him rest until the spring training.

Lakers' Pau Gasol will consider making trade request this summer
By Ben Golliver
Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak promised a quiet trade deadline for his team on Sunday, but this summer could be a totally different story.
The Los Angeles Times reports that veteran forward/center Pau Gasol will consider making a trade request after the 2012-13 season is complete. Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni recently shifted Gasol into a bench role and the Spanish forward has not played down the stretch of some games this season in favor of new center Dwight Howard.
"If this coach stays and Dwight Howard remains with the Lakers," I asked, "what about you?"
"It would be hard for me to deal with another season knowing the facts you just mentioned," said Gasol, 32 and with one year remaining on his contract.
"So do you ask for a fresh start elsewhere?"
"It's a possibility," he said, "yes."
He will not request a trade before this month's deadline, he said, although he knows there is interest from other teams for a starting center and he will be returning to the bench soon.
Gasol also said that a recent meeting with D'Antoni didn't "translate into an understanding" and that their relationship has "probably even gone a little backwards."
CBSSports.com reported Tuesday that D'Antoni brushed off Gasol's comments.
"He will probably do what we ask him to do. I'm not going to Spain to vacation with him this summer, but he's good."
This season has been one nightmare after another for Gasol. The four-time All-Star has missed time with knee tendinitis and a concussion, and he's enduring the worst season statistically of his career, averaging 13.3 points and 8.1 rebounds while shooting just 45.6 percent from the floor because he's often stationed further from the hoop than he would prefer. He's made his frustrations with his playing time and D'Antoni's system known on multiple occasions this season and his comments here read like a man who has come to terms with his fate and is ready to amicably part ways when the timing is prudent.
It's difficult to begrudge Gasol his feelings. It was clear as early as late-November that team and player seemed headed in different directions on the court. He's spent the last few years on the trading block, nearly being shipped out in the cancelled Chris Paul trade, and is now being marginalized, fairly or unfairly, by D'Antoni's system. Every man has a breaking point and Gasol has earned the right to reach his after serving as a punching bag for years and doing his part to deliver two titles. The Lakers aren't winning, he hasn't been treated as if he's truly wanted, his coach doesn't use him to his full capabilities, he doesn't always play when the game is on the line and there's no real hope that those circumstances will change in the future. He's got every reason to be upset.
If his level of sacrifice and recent circumstances allow for some venting, his level of play this season requires some perspective. Moving him, even this summer, isn't a finger-snapping matter. Gasol, 32, will enter the final season of his current contract next year, a deal that will pay him $19.3 million in 2013-14. That's one of the league's largest contracts and moving it could require the Lakers to take back future salary, something they are opposed to given the presence of Kobe Bryant's monster contract, the possibility of a max contract for Dwight Howard on their books and their desire to enter July 2014 with maximum flexibility. That fact makes Gasol's timing less than ideal. The Lakers are in the middle of a desperate playoff push and the only purpose these words serve right now are to relieve some stress and to create a headache for D'Antoni. That Gasol would prefer to speak his mind rather than protect his coach says it all about the likelihood of a workable future. There's no fast forward button to the summer trading season, though, so Gasol would probably be best served by putting his head down and getting back to work. His point has been made and everyone, by now, has heard it.

i honestly think we are 2-3 good players away from a SuperBowl team. We obviously could use another receiver and a secondary guy, and then someone for the O-line everywhere else seems pretty set.
i honestly think we are 2-3 good players away from a SuperBowl team. We obviously could use another receiver and a secondary guy, and then someone for the O-line everywhere else seems pretty set.
WR, CB AND TE. Possibly a safety also and I think we're not far away!
2-3 players away from maybe getting to the playoffs but not super bowl. You need a lot more depth then we have to make a deep playoff run.
Depth is a lot easier to come by though i mean our D-line has depth on depth and same with RB with one good WR we have depth there as well so we could pick up depth at LB DB and O-line in the draft 2 to 3 years man I'm telling, i have watched every snap for like the past 5 years and no other coach had the team playing like this.
We are a bit further away than that. We need secondary help big time. Someone opposite Smith, a safety opposite Jones, a replacement for Jerry, one or two good WRs, a kicker, a pass rusher, etc. Its more than you think. Plus remember how many free agents we have coming up at the end of this season. There is a chance we can lose Bush, Hartline, Smith, Jake Long and Starks. If we lose any of those guys at all its another hole to fill. IMO you have to start in house and get your own guys signed. Then build through the draft and if you have money left bring in another FA or two.
yeah i think we build in house as well, i think part of dumping davis and marshall was so we could re-sign our players
So you Dolphin fans who seem to think we traded away Darrell Revis need to wake up.
I will say, in hindsight, if they were not going to bring in a big time receiver to replace him...they might as well have held onto Marshall for another year and then traded him.
Courage....is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway....John Wayne
First need to tie up our free agents
Dominant WR an obvious need, CB an obvious need, although have to say Carroll impressed and we don't miss Vontae that much.
Clay's drop, then bonehead run out of bounds when trying to run the clock, clearly illustrates the need for a high power TE. (Fasano and T-hill don't seem to click, Egnew has bust written all over him)
Then just need depth at secondary, O-line and LB
Insert witty thought-provoking saying here.

Laurier JUMP program accepting registrations from school and parent-led groups
Mar 7/13
Each May and June, students in Grades 5 to 8 participate in Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Junior University Multidisciplinary Program (JUMP) which offers an educational campus experience for youth. Now in its 19th year, JUMP is an established three-day residential program that introduces Grade 5 to 8 students to courses in subject areas including archaeology, astronomy, athletics, business, chemistry, geography, leadership, music, and psychology. One- and two-day programs are also available.
Over 25,000 students have attended JUMP and have been introduced to the Laurier campus. JUMP students discover the excitement of learning while participating in hands-on activities, staying in residence, eating in the dining hall and enjoying fun recreation events.
Wilfrid Laurier University appreciates that teachers are supporters of offering educational opportunities such as JUMP to their students, but that some members of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario may not be in a position to organize year-end trips this school year.
For the 2013 season, JUMP will accept school registrations, as well as registrations, from parent-led groups. For more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 519-884-0170, x3958. Parents/guardians who choose to have their child attend JUMP will be responsible for informing the school and completing any documentation related to absenteeism.

A new Tourism and Transport Forum (TTF) report demonstrates that making small changes to the existing operating restrictions would unlock productivity, attract more international services to Sydney and allow more flexibility for airlines to manage delays in the event of unavoidable conditions.
"Last night's weather was a prime example of the current inflexible curfew restrictions causing thousands of travellers to be diverted interstate at significant cost and inconvenience, simply because some weather-impacted flights were not permitted to land in Sydney after 11pm," Sydney Airport Chief Executive Officer Kerrie Mather said.
"The joint federal-state study released in March 2012 identified the need to maximise the use of Sydney Airport. TTF has just released the first thorough and analytical review of the myriad of policy and other issues preventing the airport from operating to a truly international standard.
"We support government identifying a site for a second airport, however, the immediate task should be to look at ways to make Sydney Airport work most efficiently.
"This report – by the peak body for tourism and transport in Australia, representing more than 200 members, including major tourism operators such as hotel groups, airlines and airports – identifies three practical steps to enable Sydney to meet its aviation capacity needs for the next 20 to 30 years.
"Sydney Airport has the capacity and the infrastructure to service Sydney as its primary airport, it's just not being fully utilised due to a range of restrictions that don't reflect modern aviation.
"Permitting just 11 more services during the shoulder period each week would increase the number of slots over the year by almost 50 per cent and would have minimal impact on residents if these slots were restricted to quieter new-generation aircraft like the A380.
"We also support TTF's call for a more sensible way of administering the cap. Because it is measured in 15-minute blocks, delays often result as air traffic control is required to hold services on the ground because the cap has been exceeded.
"The recommendations in TTF's report could enhance noise sharing, reduce total aircraft noise and emissions, improve passenger experience, increase airline efficiency, enhance aircraft capacity to regional communities, increase airport capacity and enhance national productivity.
"We also support TTF's recommendation that, in the medium term, the capacity of existing airports in the Sydney basin should be utilised. For example, Richmond is well-primed to service activities that are not core to tourism or business in Sydney, such as more general aviation, specialist freight and helicopter services. "And for the long-term, with the government to shortly release its feasibility report on a Wilton site, the tourism industry's support for Badgerys Creek highlights that choosing a site for a second airport has to be demand-led.
"Like other two-airport cities overseas, a second airport in Sydney would work to complement Sydney Airport.
"Both the TTF report and joint study found Sydney Airport's convenient location close to the CBD and major tourist attractions was a major competitive advantage for the state, and that some restrictions around its use should be eased to maximise its operation and efficiency.
"Aviation, through tourism and its pivotal role to transport and logistics, is crucial to the economy.
"A typical international jumbo service contributes $120 million a year to the economy and creates 1,500 full-time jobs, while an A380 service from China would contribute $388 million a year to the economy and create 5,000 full time jobs.

Shares of Sears Holdings (SHLD) are down about 12% in postmarket trading after the retailer reported an adjusted first-quarter loss of $1.29 share while analysts were expecting a 60 cent loss. MarketWatch's Andria Cheng reports the grim details:
U.S. same-store sales dropped 3.6% and declined 2.6% in Canada. Sears said it's in the process of evaluating strategic alternatives for its service contract business to bolster liquidity, including a possible sale, joint venture or recapitalization of that business.
Not the kind of figures Eddie Lampert was hoping to announce, I'm sure. As Bloomberg's Lauren Coleman-Lochner notes:
Lampert, who took over as chief executive officer in February, said in the statement that the company's performance "has not been acceptable." Since the beginning of last year, Sears has sold stores and spun off smaller-format locations as Lampert puts an increased emphasis on the customer rewards program, saying the retailer's future is as a "membership company." More than half of the Sears's sales come from customers in its Shop Your Way loyalty program.
Sears is one of the most shorted companies on the market, with about 30% of its float held by short sellers as of April 30, according to Yahoo Finance.

Zeke's book actually says that choice is an essential element of any health care plan. He says that if you want to pass comprehensive health care reform, it is essential to strike when you are able. He says that the there are seven "pillars" for a good plan and that the balance of a bills provisions are basically details that can be sorted over time. The seven pillars are:
These are all debatable, but hardly the makings of a conspiracy or "dirty secret".
- Coverage of all Americans
- Effective cost control
- High quality coordinated care.
- Choice of insurance plans, doctors, and hospitals along with the ability to buy additional insurance coverage
- Fair funding requiring all Americans to contribute to the cost of services
- Reasonable dispute resolution to replace the current malpractice system
- Economic revitalization from removing health insurance as a responsibility of employers.
Personally, I think ethics rest in how you do things, not why. You can be an ethical conservative or an ethical progressive. You can be an ethical Christian, an ethical Muslim or an ethical atheist. You become unethical when you decide that the inherent "goodness" of your goals justifies actions that would otherwise be unacceptable. Zeke Emanuel appears to state his positions clearly and in an intellectually honest manner. He does not appear to misquote others or take what they say out of context. He does not hide his own beliefs or biases. His positions appear to be reasoned and measured whether one agrees with them or not. I do not know enough about his life or activities to comment further. However, to me he appears far more ethical than almost anyone posturing on the issues on television, in blogs, and most in Congress.
Pillar 2- Cost Control. This is a concept foreign to our government. We can NOt trust them to oversee Cost Control.
Pillar 3-High Quality Care, that's what we have now and that's what we won't have once the bearucrats take over.
Pillar 4 -We have choice of health care now. The goobs can only screw that up.
Pillar 5 Fair Funding Who is going to pay for the folks with no money. I don't think it fair that I have to pay for them!
Pillar 6 Yes, we need Tort Reform but, we don't need to gooberment to oversee it because only the gooberment can make it worse.
Pillar 7- Having employers pay part of the cost of Heath Insurance is a nice perk for those that WORK FOR A LIVING!

Seems only fair that health insurance perks should be taxed ... like any other monetary bonus. The unions might not be happy with that, though. Some union workers get their health benefits through their union, rather than employer. They might not mind. OTOH, if union workers get taxed on employer-paid health benefits, then they will want to "replace" that $ for their workers through higher wages in their negotiations.

As a employer what ever cost is FORCED on me will be passed on to the employees. Business is so competitive that we are bidding and losing work right now. If it stays bad enough long enough those bidding work at or below cost will be gone and prices will stabilize. Then we can raise prices and saleries. Maybe if business got a tax break for providing insurance.........

PC Makers: Windows 8 May Not Be All It's Cracked Up to Be

Acer and other PC makers lower forecasts for second half 2012 PC shipments
While many PC makers saw the coming of Windows 8 as an opportunity for growth and increased competition against Apple, those feelings are slowly fading.
Acer Inc., Quanta Computer Inc. and Compal Electronics Inc., three major PC makers, have all lost hope in Windows 8 being the savior of PC sales for the second half of fiscal year 2012. This opinion differs from those heard by the same PC makers earlier this year, who were
happy to show off Windows 8 laptops, all-in-ones and ultrabooks
at the Computex trade show in Taipei. Acer even said that Windows 8 PCs would bring growth to his company once again.
But these opinions changed as PC makers see no customer enthusiasm for personal computers running the Windows 8 operating system. Another issue, according to analysts and the PC makers, is that Windows 8 laptops and ultrabooks will likely be much too expensive upon release.
J.T. Wang, CEO of Acer, said he has grown unsure of the Windows 8 ecosystem. His company is lowering its expectations for PC sales upon Windows 8's release.
"Originally, we were expecting very high growth in the second half," said Wang. "We're still waiting for a sign of consumer enthusiasm."
Analysts are changing their sales forecasts as well, mainly due to the fact that some believe it'll take three to four financial quarters for consumers to get onboard with Windows 8. It won't take off right away. Rather, Microsoft will have to seek out developers for more applications in order to grab consumer interest.
While the PC turf isn't looking so hot, mobile devices may not be so disappointing. The
price of touchscreens and tablets running Windows 8
may be an issue, especially because there are many cheaper alternatives, but consumers have shown greater enthusiasm for
Microsoft's Surface tablet
Windows 8 has been a pretty controversial topic. The main issue seems to be the user interface, formerly called Metro. It features colorful tiles that represent different applications on the home screen. The change was a hopeful move to attract new users (perhaps those normally enticed by Apple's colorful and friendly-looking operating systems). However, Microsoft is looking to
change the name of Metro
after a recent discovery -- a German retailer called Metro AG threatened to sue.
Windows 8 will be
released to the public on October 26

Ultimate Ears 200vi Noise-Isolating Headset, Grey
"Introduction - I found these at Wal-Mart (surprisingly), and they were selling for 20 bucks, so i could not turn them down. Design & Build - The design of these earphones are a bit plain. The earpieces have this two-tone, color of matte black and gloss gray. The cable feels very soft and pretty thick. It is not overly thick, and it does not feel cheap to me. The ear tip design is..." --zach8278

Badr Hari vs. Ismael Londt Booked for May
- Written by Dave Walsh
While everyone is pretty certain that Badr Hari will be booked on whatever LEGEND event pops up next, it looks like Badr Hari will be fighting in the Netherlands yet again, this time not under any familiar banner. If that sounds far-fetched to you, as Badr Hari is a top dollar Heavyweight fighter, I share those sentiments, but it appears to be legitimate. On May 17th in the Netherlands Badr Hari is scheduled to meet Ismael Londt in a Kickboxing bout for A1 WCC.
The event is being promoted by the Gunyar Brothers and will also feature a 16-man 70kg tournament. [source]

Nobel laureate returns for talks, April 25-27
Posted April 22, 2006; 12:07 p.m.
Nobel laureate David Gross, the Thomas Jones Professor of Mathematical Physics Emeritus, will deliver the J. Edward Farnum lectures on "The Search for a Theory of Fundamental Reality" at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, April 25-27, in McCosh 50.
Gross, a string theorist, won the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics with Frank Wilczek, who earned his Ph.D. from the University in 1975, for a discovery they made while working together at Princeton. They were recognized, along with David Politzer, for their fundamental insights concerning the force that holds the parts of an atomic nucleus together.
Now director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California-Santa Barbara, Gross was a faculty member at Princeton from 1969 to 1997.
In his first lecture, he will trace the development of a theory of elementary particles and provide a personal account of the work for which he won the Nobel. The second lecture will address the unanswered questions that have provoked a search for a unified theory of all the forces of nature, including gravity. In his final lecture, Gross will discuss the current status of string theory and explain why he believes physicists are on the verge of a revolution in their understanding of space and time.
The talks are sponsored by University Public Lectures and Princeton University Press.

Wonderful collection of writing prompts by Luke Neff. I'd say most of them would be appropriate for secondary level students.
Here's part of something Neff has written that describes how he uses the prompts in his classes:
"I use them this way: I do some sort of five or ten minute writing lesson with my students. They learn some style activities and grammar tricks and things like that. Then we do a writing prompt, in which they attempt to implement the writing lesson. They have a little less than ten minutes, and their goal is to write at least half of a page, depending on the handwriting (mine are freshmen and most have no problem with this). After they're done writing, they go immediately into a time of reading for twenty minutes. During this reading time, I collect their writing work (both the lesson activity and the prompt are on the sheet), and I read it. When they are done with reading time, I then give feedback to the whole class about what they wrote about, and I read a few of them out loud that I really liked and then explain what I liked about them. I try to connect this to the Six Traits or to our standards. Sometimes if I notice a mistake that is being made by a few them, I'll do a quick bit of instruction on that. But these are not graded for grammar at all. These are a chance to practice the process of moving thoughts from their heads to the paper. They do get a grade in the gradebook on these, but the grade has to do with the standards that are about matching audience to purpose and writing routinely over time. Basically, if they are in the ballpark and gave it a good attempt, then they get a proficient score on their writing prompts."

From curator~ " Elliott explains the process of how to edit your articles and improve your writing at the same time. Here's what caught my attention: It's important to first do planning and research before the writing begins. Use an outline of the structure with a beginning, middle, and end. After writing a post give yourself some time to process it. Save the editing process after you have completed your article. Read your completed work out loud to yourself. Notice the flow of the piece, and whether there were any mistakes you may have missed.

"...there is no end to my admiration for Chuck Berry's work, even if his commitment to performance has at times proved wanting. As much as Percy Mayfield remains the Poet Laureate of the Blues, Chuck Berry will always be the Poet Laureate of – what? Of Our Time. Has there ever been a more perfect pop song than "Nadine," a catchier encapsulation of story line and wit in four verses and a chorus, in which the protagonist (like all of Chuck's characters, a not-too-distant stand-in for its author but never precisely himself) is introduced "pushing through the crowd trying to get to where she's at/I was campaign shouting like a Southern diplomat." I mean, come on – and the song only gets better from there. When he was recognized in 2012 by PEN New England (a division of the international writers' organization) for its first "Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence" award, his co-honoree, Leonard Cohen, graciously declared that "all of us are footnotes to the words of Chuck Berry," while Bob Dylan called him "the Shakespeare of rock & roll."

Five weeks after the it last traded a record high, the Standard & Poor's 500 has finally traded a new one, as Humana (HUM), Newfield Exploration (NFX) Facebook (FB), United Health (UNH) and ExxonMobil (XOM) surge today.
It took some time, maybe too much time, but the S&P 500 looks like it's finally set to close above 1848.38 reached on January 15. The benchmark has gained 1.2% to 1,857.88 today, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has jumped 186.32 points, or 1.2% to 16,289.62.
Humana, which has surged 9.3% to $112.26, and United Health, which has jumped 2.9% to $75.96, have benefited from a new Medicare payment plan that was stricter than anticipated but already priced into the market. Newfield Exploration has, while ExxonMobil has gained 2.2% to $97.14 as oil and gas prices rise. Facebook has risen 3.7% to $71.10 as investors continue to digest its purchase of WhatsApp.
Interactive Brokers' Andrew Wilkinson reflects on the S&P 500′s new high:
Deals, more deals, higher prices for the latest deal or corporate willingness to step-up and make strategic acquisitions are all reasons helping deliver a stellar start to the week. For investors that means a swift return to confidence on Monday helping drive the S&P 500 index to a new record high.
And as welcome as new highs may be, the [CBOE Vix] captures growing suspicion even as investors raise the roof. The CBOE Vix index at 14.27 is lower to start the week, yet remains above where it traded when stocks peaked in January (12.28) and the week after the Thanksgiving break (13.70).
Some of investors' suspicions are well founded. The emerging market drama, accompanied by episodes of fear ranging from Fed tapering and a Chinese slowdown, remains a concern and earlier in the month forced the Vix to as high as 21.44 on fears of outright panic. Yet it seems that investors are coming to terms with the policy path of the Fed under its new leadership, which in turn is maintaining a lid on treasury yields.
The Lindsey Group's Peter Boockvar says the rally reflects the market's "faith in the Fed." He writes:
Faith that either Yellen will blink in the face of the weak economic data (US Citi Surprise Economic Index at the lowest level since July today) and not follow thru with a continuation of tapering or the belief that the economy will soon rebound off the weather induced weakness and thus the Fed will be able to pull off a seamless end to QE without much economic impact. While I don't discount the first possibility because we still have an extremely dovish committee and believe part of the 2nd in that the economy will show some rebound in coming months from the tough winter, I don't have faith in the Fed's ability to maneuver cleanly from taper, let alone from raising rates whenever that might come.
Today, however, the market couldn't care less.

Thread: How many ?
How many ?
Finally have a question about another fish I enjoy learning about the opaline strain of gourami . How many would be good as a species only environ , ( 55 gallon) and if they're not suited for that , what is the best neighbor you would suggest? Now I await the knowledge!!!!!ask ?'s and change some water pair of JD's and loving it.
I've never kept Opaline gourami but they are beautiful fish. This is from Badmantropical fish site: " Keep them in pairs and the fish will display to each other and show off their best colors. Keep in a planted community aquarium with many plants including floating varieties. Provide hiding places for the female. Tank mates should be slower moving peaceful species and generally no barbs or other fin nippers that will make short work of the fins and feeler threads. Provide good filtration with a slow water flow (like from a spraybar) so as not to disturb any Bubblenest. They are Omnivorous and will take live, flake, frozen as well as vegetable based food."
Others say it's better to keep only females to avoid aggression.
There are a lot of good profiles out there. just google and if you still have questions after doing your research, come back and ask away.
someone else may have experience with them and chime in.30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,

The Opaline is the same species as the Blue and Gold and other colour morphs, namely Trichopodus trichopterus, and here is a profile I authored a while back:
Trichopodus trichopterus
Family: Osphronemidae, Subfamily Luciocephalinae
Common Names: Blue Gourami, Gold Gourami, Opaline Gourami, Cosby Gourami, Marbled Gourami, Three-Spot Gourami.
Origin and Habitat: Mekong River basin in China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia. Live in lowland wetlands--still or sluggish water such as swamps, ponds, ditches, marshes, and flooded forest, always having thick vegetation.
Compatibility/Temperament: Reasonably peaceful with robust fish such as the quieter barbs, loaches, larger catfish. Males are territorial, becoming aggressive when ready to spawn. As the fish matures, some remain relatively peaceful while others become somewhat nasty to other fish. Best when kept in a male and female pair. Though they may be stated as compatible with Siamese fighting fish, this is highly dangerous to the fish, especially when the gourami and the fighting fish are both males.
Blue Gourami Diet
An omnivore in its habitat eating insects, worms, crustaceans, algae and detritus, it will eat almost any prepared foods; for variety feed frozen daphnia and bloodworms, artemia, live worms and insects.
Attains six inches, though aquarium fish tend to be four to five inches.
Minimum Tank Suggestion
36 inches in length for a pair; 48 inches in length for additional fish of this species.
Water parameters for Blue Gourami
Soft to moderately hard (3-30 dGH), acidic to basic (pH 5.5-8.0) water, temperature 24-28C/75-83F. Fish are likely to be commercially raised and adaptable to within the given parameters; wild-caught fish require soft, acidic water.
A hardy and beautifully-coloured gourami, suitable for beginning aquarists provided the aquarium is spacious enough and the aggressiveness that is possible in this fish is borne in mind. This is a food fish in parts of its natural range.
Males are the larger sex and have a pointed dorsal and anal fin, while females are rounder and slightly smaller. Easy to spawn, this species builds a bubblenest among floating plants; up to 1200 eggs may be laid, and when spawning is completed the female will be chased away and should be removed to prevent injury. The male tends the nest, and he should be removed when the fry become free-swimming.
There are several colour variants available, giving this species several common names such as Opaline gourami, gold gourami, Cosby gourami, marbled gourami, and three-spot gourami. The latter is appropriate to the original form of this species, which is depicted in the first photo below; the other photos depict some of the available variations. The dark spot at the base of the caudal fin is present in all variants.
This fish occurs in still plant-thick waters and should only be housed in well-planted aquaria with minimal water movement from the filter. Floating plants are important as the species, like all gourami, spends much time near the surface, browsing plant leaves and dangling roots for food. Floating plants also provide support for the bubblenest. Subdued lighting, partly achieved with floating plants, will calm the fish. It generally remains in the upper half of the aquarium.
In common with all the species in the suborder Anabantoidei, this fish possesses an auxiliary breathing organ called the labyrinth, named because of the maze-like arrangement of passages that allow the fish to extract oxygen from air taken in at the surface. The fish must use this accessory method, and it allows the fish to live in oxygen-poor muddy waters. To accommodate this, the aquarium must be kept covered to maintain warm moist air above the surface.
This species first appeared in the genus Sparus (without species epithet) in a 1764 paper by I.T. Koelreuter; its description by P.S. Pallas in 1770 placed it in the genus Labrus as Labrus trichopterus. Subsequently [date unknown to the writer] the genus changed to Trichopodus, the name from the Greek thrix (hair) and pous (foot); the current genus Trichogaster [see explanation below] comes from the Greek thrix (hair) and gaster (belly). Both names refer to the extended thread-like pelvic fins that have taste cells at the ends.
Until 1923, Trichogaster was used as the genus for the small gourami species and Trichopodus for the larger species. When the genus Trichopodus was established by Lacepede in 1801, it was not usual to designate a type species (as it is now), and later ichthyologists frequently designated one. A "type species" is the species that exhibits all the scientific characteristics for that genus, normally today the first such species to be described, and all species assigned to that genus will also share those characteristics. Topfer & Schindler (2009) detail the matter of the type species designations and errors respecting Trichogaster and Trichopodus; the end result was that in 1923, Dr. George S. Meyers incorrectly assumed the type species earlier assigned for Trichogaster and consequently established Trichogaster as the true genus in place of Trichopodus (which name became a synonym for Trichogaster) for the larger gourami species. Colisa was then selected as the genus for the small (dwarf) species previously assigned to Trichogaster.
This state remained (although in the literature there was frequent confusion) until 1997 when E. Derijst pointed out the error of the assumed type species by Meyers [see Topfer 2008]. R. Britz (2004) obsoleted the name Colisa, but its popularity continued in the literature. In 2008, J. Topfer thoroughly investigated the issue and recommended renaming of the species and K.-H. Rossmann (2008) followed. In 2009, Topfer & Schindler established Trichopodus as a currently valid genus of Osphronemidae, which includes the four large gourami species, Trichopodus trichopterus, T. leerii, T. microlepis and T. cantoris. The Colisa species reverted back to the genus Trichogaster as Trichogaster chuna, T. fasciata, T. labiosa, T. lalius, and T. bejeus. The species epithets of this genus were also corrected grammatically in accordance with the rules of the ICZN [Schindler 2009]. The California Academy of Sciences--Ichthyology [W.N. Eschmeyer] has adopted the afore-mentioned revisions.

Something we all need to remember: The fish you've acquired was quite happy not being owned by you, minding its own business. If youre going to take it under your wing then youre responsible for it. Every aspect of its life is under your control, from water quality and temperature to swimming space. [Nathan Hill in PFK]
