"Expanding on the pros, other likes- - These cans are pretty comfortable imo, with the velour pads and soft headband. I havent had any problems with pressure points on the headband, and have been able to wear them for several hours on end without much fatigue. Clamping force is just right. Tighter than, for example, a Creative Aurvana Live, but looser than my FA-011s. Fairly light weight. -..." --kidcharlemagne

Conference marks 50th anniversary of first Everest ascent, April 12
Posted January 31, 2003; 06:25 p.m.
"On Top of the World: An Everest Anniversary Conference," commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepalese mountaineer Tenzing Norgay, is scheduled for Saturday, April 12, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The conference, organized by the Friends of the Princeton University Library , will feature four speakers, including two Everest climbers. It will run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Dr. Thomas Hornbein, who traversed the summit of Everest from the West Ridge with the first successful American expedition in 1963, will kick off the conference with a lecture titled "Everest Then and Now: The Maturation of a Mountain."
Hornbein's lecture will be followed by a panel discussion called "The Changing Face of Mount Everest: The Politics of Mountaineering." Panelists will include Maurice Isserman, a professor of history at Hamilton College; Ed Douglas, a journalist and editor of Britain's Alpine Club Journal; and Ed Webster, a freelance writer and Everest veteran. The panel moderator will be David Robertson, former president of the Friends of the Princeton University Library, and the son-in-law and biographer of Everest climber George Leigh Mallory.
The conference also will include "My Storm Years on Everest: Climbing the Kangshung Face," a slide show by Webster, who in 1988 attempted to scale Everest using the most difficult approach, the Kangshung Face, without the support of oxygen, a Sherpa guide or radio contact.
A reception will follow in the Firestone Library's main exhibition gallery. Visitors can view a special display of manuscripts, photos and memorabilia, lent by the participants or culled from the papers of James Ramsay Ullman, a member of Princeton's class of 1929 and the historian of the first successful American expedition.
The conference will conclude with a mini film festival, featuring archival documentary footage about Everest, and a discussion moderated by Hornbein.
The event is co-sponsored by the Council for the Humanities, the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies, the Department of Geosciences and the National Geographic Society. A full agenda is available online or by contacting conference coordinator Margaret Rich at (609) 258-3174.

General Electric (GE) has gone shopping.
The industrial giant said it was buying life-sciences units from Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO), which is selling them off to win approval from Europe for its acquisition of Life Technologies (LIFE).
The Wall Street Journal has the details on the agreement between General Electric and Thermo Fisher:
General Electric's health care unit agreed to acquire several of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.'s life-sciences businesses for roughly $1.06 billion.
Thermo Fisher late last year agreed to sell the businesses to expedite European approval of its pending acquisition of Life Technologies Corporation. Thermo Fisher in April agreed to buy Life Technologies for $13.6 billion. The company has said the acquisition could allow it to cut costs while gaining from next-generation genetic-sequencing machines.
The deal with GE, expected to close early this year, includes Thermo Fisher's cell culture media and sera, and gene modulation and magnetic beads businesses.
ISI Group's Ross Muken calls Thermo Fisher's sales to General Electric a "positive surprise." He explains:
Today's announcement was somewhat expected post the November 26thconditional EU approval for its acquisition of Life Technologies, which required the sale of these businesses. However, the timing of this sale is likely to be a positive surprise for many investors (removes risk of no close until divestitures completed), particularly as it is one of the last pieces of the puzzle for the LIFE transaction to move toward ultimate completion. Furthermore, the price paid for these assets was very attractive given the conditional process (likely existence of several bidders). We estimate that the dilution for these businesses to be approximately $0.08, within investors' expected range (and likely management's initial guidance)…Overall, we regard this as a positive outcome and expect shares of TMO to react well to the news. We reiterate our Buy rating on TMO shares and raise of price target to $121.50 (was $111.00).
Shares of Thermo Fisher Scientific have gained 0.7% to $110.80, General Electric has dropped 0.2% to $27.43 and Life Technologies is little changed at $75.85.

I truly believe so, but first...
I am confused with then new forums...where can I pick a picture to represent me??? The only choices I see are faces and thumbs. What's up with that???
Now for the goods!
Darth Vader means Dark Father. We all know that. Who named him that? More importantly, WHY?
It always meant that he was the dark father of Luke, and later we would learn of Leia too. Did he come up with the name Darth Vader? Was he proud that he was a dad, therefore he chose that handle? I think not.
I think when Ani makes the turn to the Dark Side, Palpatine/Sidious give him the title Darth Vader because of the revelation that Anakin HAS a dark father. A mysterious past. We will learn in Episode II that there was a father. Will it be Empire style, and Palpy say that he is Ani's Dad? Maybe. Or possibly a dying Shmi whispers to Anakin with her dying breathes to find his father. Could the father be a Dark Jedi, or one of the Lost 20? Someone of consequence, you would think.
Either way, the name Darth Vader will take greater meaning, and a reverse foreshadowing, in that it pays homage to Anakin's ancestry, not Luke and Leia's father.
That's my first post in these new forums, hopefully the coding doesn't screw it up too much! Way to be an innovator SSG!!! Now where's my facial icons?

BOONEVILLE – The Ripley girls started Wednesday night's Division 1-3A Tournament semifinal with Kossuth hitting on all cylinders, but eventually had to rally for a 58-51 victory.
Ripley raced to a 17-7 first-quarter lead, but the determined Lady Aggies squad took that punch and turned it into a dogfight. They got as close as 26-22 by halftime on 12 points from Parrish Tice and took a two-point lead with 3:27 to play in the third quarter.
Ripley (25-4)punched back with a press, outscoring Kossuth 25-16 over the final 11 minutes to win.
Ripley, the Daily Journal's No. 1-ranked area's girls team, advanced to their fourth straight 1-3A title game and earned a home game to start next week's North tournament.
Ripley coach Katie Bates said fouls made the biggest difference. Ripley Dandy Dozen Jayla Chills and starting point guard Zaida Cox missed parts of the second quarter with two fouls each. Kossuth nailed 10 of 12 free throws to stay in the game. They shot 21 of 25 for the game.
"We knew if we could get to the basket we could draw some fouls," said Kossuth coach Rick Howell. "We spread out and used our dribble-drive offense, and it worked for us."
"Fouls," said Bates. "In the second quarter we started fouling, silly fouls, out-of-position fouls. That gave them easy points on the free throw line and got them back in the game."
Kossuth scored the first four points of the third quarter to tie the game at 26. They took a brief 35-33 lead on a Baylee Turner 3-pointer. Ripley got a layup from Chills, a steal and low-post basket from Jada Rich to reclaim a 37-35 lead and never trailed again.
They built a 51-43 lead on a Daisha Colom jumper with 4:28 remaining.
"I knew they would play us hard," added Bates. "When we needed stops, we got the stops, rebounds and shots that we wanted."
The Lady Tigers got a huge game from Matavia Cox, who came off the bench for 17 points. Chills and Colom each added 16.
Tice led Kossuth (11-11) with 19 points.

Car thief's shooting sparks gun rights debate
SPOKANE, Wash. - The gun rights debate is at a boiling point over this week's shooting death of a car thief in North Spokane. The memorial set up for Brendon Kaluza-Graham is now being taken over with messages from those who think the car thief deserved to get shot.
Kaluza-Graham, 25, was shot and killed as he drove away in a stolen SUV Monday in East Spokane. The car's owner, 56-year-old Gail Gerlach, told investigators he fired because he thought Kaluza-Graham pointed a weapon at him.
The messages written by some self-proclaimed gun owners have been scribbled out by Kaluza-Graham's friends. It's an example of how this case has polarized a neighborhood and community over gun rights and property crime.
For three years, Mike Lear has lived in the same East Spoakne neighborhood where Monday's incident happened. He's also put up with countless instances of property crime.
"I don't agree with the extremes people are going but they don't really have a lot of choice if nobody is going to do anything about it," Lear said.
Though Lear doesn't agree with the lethal force used Monday against Kaluza-Graham by his neighbor, he understands the frustration Gerlach might have felt.Gun debate over shooting death
"He's probably been provoked a lot more times and I don't know what the cops are going to do, you know, they haven't done anything for a lot of people around here," Lear said.
It's that level of frustration causing an uproar over this case. Did Gerlach commit a crime by firing at a car thief, who was driving away? Or was the lethal force justified as his property was being stolen? Those polarizing opinions have spilled over onto the memorial set up for Kaluza-Graham.
"THUG" wrote one person with arrows pointing to Kaluza-Graham's picture.
"Don't blame the gun owner(s) we (him) have a right to protect what is ours. Tax payers work hard for what we have and THUGS come and think they are intitled [sic] to what we worked for. It's sad someone chose to lose their life like this (but get a job and work like the rest of us.)" another message read.
"Don't steal, you won't get shot" was a running theme in a few of the messages written on Kaluza-Graham's memorial poster.
All of the messages against Kaluza-Graham have been scribbled out by his friends.
"Off drugs, he's a great, love, great friend, just he was a great guy besides his addiction, you know, he was a very good guy," Misty Santos said.
Santos grew up with Kaluza-Graham and thinks his family and friends have a right to grieve outside of the controversy.
"I think they don't know him worth a [expletive] besides his stupid action he made and I think they need to keep their comments to themselves if they don't know him as a person," Santos said.
The Spokane Police Department Thursday said that there will be no new information released on the case. They are finishing up their investigation, including a search of Gerlach's home and car. Ultimately, prosecutors will decide if Gerlach will face charges for shooting and killing the man who stole his car.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DRM
Dear member of the World Wide Web Consortium's Advisory Committee,
You may have heard that over the past year we've been trying to insert legal safeguards into the Encrypted Media Extensions project at the W3C, which standardizes streaming video DRM. We've previously been opposed to the W3C adopting EME, because of the legal issues around DRM, and because DRM requires user agents to obey third parties, rather than their owners.
However, we think that there's a compromise that both DRM advocates and opponents should be able to live with.
I'm writing today to see if you will support us in an upcoming W3C vote on the charter of the Media Extensions Group, where we will be proposing this compromise.
This letter briefly describes briefly the problem, our proposed solution, and what you can do to help.
Once upon a time, there were two major browsers that virtually everyone used: Netscape and Internet Explorer, locked in a death-battle for the future of the Web. They went to enormous lengths to tempt Web publishers to optimize their sites to work best inside their windows, and hoped that users would follow.
Then, a game-changer: the open, nonprofit Mozilla browser spun out of Netscape, with the mission of putting users, not publishers, in charge. Mozilla defaulted to blocking pop-up ads, the scourge of the early Web. It was a step none of the major browsers could afford to take, because publishers were convinced they would go broke without them, and any company whose browser blocked pop-ups by default would alienate the publishers, who'd throw their lot in with the competition.
I remember the launch of iTunes in 2001. Hurrying home from the MacWorld conference in San Francisco, downloading the app, making a stack of CDs next to my Powerbook, ripping them as fast as my machine would go. Rip, Mix, Burn, baby!
The other thing I remember is how the media industry viewed iTunes: they hated it. They hated people using iTunes to rip CDs, they hated mixing and burning. The only reason they let the iPod/iTunes ecosystem live was because when they sued the company that made the first MP3 players, they lost.
Earlier this year, an independent security researcher named Rotem Kerner came forward to disclose critical bugs in a digital video recorder that was integrated into over 70 vendors' CCTV-based security systems.
The vulnerability is a grave one. These DVRs are designed to be connected to whole networks of security cameras. By compromising them, thieves can spy on their targets using the targets' own cameras. In fact, Kerner was part of a team at RSA who published a report in 2014 that showed that thieves were using these vulnerable system to locate and target cash-registers for robberies.
Everybody knows that the digital locks of DRM on the digital media you own is a big problem. If you've bought a digital book, album, or movie, you should be able to do what you want with it—whether that's enjoying it wherever you want to, or making it more accessible by changing the font size or adding subtitles, or loaning or giving it to a friend when you're done. We intuitively recognize that digital media should be more flexible than its analog forebears, not less, and that DRM shouldn't take away rights that copyright was never intended to restrict.

Thread: Too many?
I suggest you start by observing carefully.
I see it this way:
you got a few potential issues
1. interaction with other species. In a 20 gallon that's likely to lead to problems with anything that's not a strict bottom dweller.
2. Swimming space. Not much you can do there except upgrade.
3. interaction between the tiger barbs. Here's where uncertainty sets in. I've seen this species build up a hierarchical structure that reminds me of birds. There's one or two boss fish, quite a few in the middle and one or two that are at the bottom of the school. If those bottom fish do not get harassed so much that they suffer physical damage and if they still get a chance to eat you do have a shot at pulling this off.
On the other hand, I've also seen them where 2 or even 3 distinct groups formed and there was constant bickering. That stresses everyone out
Even if you do manage to get a school that works well you sitll have the issue of a relatively low amount of swimming space that I feel you need to address sooner or later.
But, this is just my $0.02.
+ 1 to the above.

A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
Well, first off, I've decided through the course of this thread to put nothing else into this tank.
Right now all the fish seem to get along. There is some chasing but I figure that is to be expected. Nothing non-stop and no one fish is singled out. Also they all get to eat, none of the smaller ones are pushed out.
With that being said I am going to house them in this tank for the time being. I know a larger tank is ideal and I do want to get one, but I don't know when that will be. I keep a very close eye on them. Sometimes just sitting and watching them for an hour or so. So far they are fairing in this tank.

Placenta previa (pluh-SEN-tuh PREH-vee-uh) occurs when a baby's placenta partially or totally covers the opening in the mother's cervix — the lower end of the uterus that connects to the top of the vagina. Placenta previa can cause severe bleeding before or during delivery.
The placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to your growing baby and removes waste products from your baby's blood. It attaches to the wall of your uterus, and your baby's umbilical cord arises from it. In most pregnancies, the placenta attaches at the top or side of the uterus. In placenta previa, the placenta attaches to the lower area of the uterus.
If you have placenta previa, you'll probably be restricted from physical exertion for a portion of your pregnancy and you'll likely require a cesarean section (C-section) to safely deliver your baby.

Thanks for any help!!!

|Great Lakes Steelhead & Salmon Amazing "Inland ocean" fisheries
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for your thoughts
guys. I am hoping to get up there again this weekend and see how it goes. Will let you know if anything happens.
|Geoff they were probably Kings. Due to our lack of water and warm temps the fall run is a few weeks behind schedule. Fished the Salmon River And the Oswego last sat. The Salmon was low even after last weeks rain and they arent releasing any water from the dam due to the drought conditions.Not many fish moving and those that were were spooked due to extreme fishing pressure ie lifters and rippers. The Oswego had a lot of water and a good number of fish nearly all salmon and all fresh fish. The moron factor was high due to the warm weather. The browns and steelies should be in in a few weeks and the crowds will thin out as well. Late Oct and Nov are very good for both browns and steelies.
Could be either, go back in early morning low light conditions, even lake browns are very leader conscious, would try no more than an 8lb leader for them and as long as you can use to cast a smelt type streamer pattern with. Try a fluor carbon leader which will give a smaller diameter line but higher lb test. Good luck !
P.S. Just hope you don't hook one of those 10+ plus lake browns though on that light leader.
Lake Ontario Browns?
I have a question for you Great Lakes fisherman. This past weekend I went up to Fairhaven State Park on Lake Ontario (between Rochester and Oswego). They have a long man-made channel /pier connecting the bay with the lake. It must be over 250 yds long. Anyway as I was walking out there with my family, and without any form of fishing implement, I saw first one and then two nice sized fish in the clear four foot deep water just off of the pier. Fish that I could only guess to be browns although I suppose they could have been steelhead as well? They were definitely acting a bit nervous-they swam too fast and were not the shape of carp- and now I am thinking about going back up there to try casting a fly to them. My question is regarding what species of fish these might be and then whether being in so shallow would they be interested in a fly or are they more likely just interested in spawning? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Tanya Whelan has a knack for designing fabrics that take you back to another time and place, yet feel resfreshingly modern. See what inspires her beautiful creations! We can't wait for her next collection to debut!
I'm so happy to be blogging on Fat Quarter Shop's blog. I've been a fan of the shop for a long time so I was so excited to see that they started a blog.
I'm a fabric and sewing pattern designer, and my first fabric collection for Free Spirit/Westminster Fibers, "Barefoot Roses", was introduced in May at Spring Quilt Market. My next collection, "Ava Rose", will debut at the Spring 08' Market.
Maybe you've already detected a trend here by the name of my collections. Yes, I absolutely love roses. Barefoot Roses features lots of em. Big, medium and small, all rounded out by vintage style tickings and polka dots. In addition to being girly, the collection most of all reflects my love of all things vintage and just plain old. My love of old things is definitely the driving force behind all of my design work. I'm a big collector of antiques, old artifacts and stuff just found on the curb. Old movies, mostly the sets as opposed to he actual stories, also really inspire me. Every design I create resonates for me with a particular time and place from the past whether it's a little girls bedroom in an English cottage circa 1920, a late 19th century French drawing room, or a 1940's living room. This is all probably a result of spending too much time in the Metropolitan Museum's costume exhibit as a little girl.
I'm also realizing just lately how influenced I am by Scandinavian design. I just love the light simple quality of one or two pretty floral patterns in an all white sun drenched room and this probably reflects my personal style most of all.
While the designs themselves feel nostalgic I really love fresh, clear coloration and Barefoot Roses completely reflects this. Fresh green is such an important counterpoint for me to the pretty pinks I love as, for me, it keeps things from getting too sweet and feels more modern.
When I'm not designing fabrics and sewing patterns, sewing, crafting and collecting, I'm chasing after my 3 wonderful children and spending time laughing with my best friend and husband. Oh, and of course making him stop the car because I spotted a treasure on the curb.
Please come visit me at my new blog, Grand Revival, and say hello, I'd love to hear from you!

A quick and easy stir-fry provides the base for this sweet-and-sour salad.
Serve this pretty main-dish salad in hollowed-out pineapple halves. If you go with the pineapple shells, cube the fresh pineapple to use in the recipe instead of the canned. Take care to capture enough juice from the fresh pineapple, or you may need to add some pineapple or apple juice.
You can add leftover pineapple juice to rice cooking water for a sweet dessert. Sprinkle cooked rice with brown sugar and toss with toasted coconut for the grand finale.

If your French is good, you can tell your delighted dinner guests they are having sauté de veau. Simply put, it's plain delicious.
You're cooking in classic French style when you make this recipe. A sauté is a dish in which food is first cooked in a skillet, or sautoir, then sauced with the pan drippings and simmered with aromatic vegetables.
Pearl onions can be time consuming to peel. It will be easier if you pour boiling water over them a few minutes before slipping off the skins--and there will be fewer tears, too.
When there's no rosemary in your herb garden but plenty of thyme, just use thyme leaves instead of the chopped fresh rosemary. It's a wonderful herb to use with veal, too.

Family: Icteridae, Blackbirds and Orioles view all from this family
Description ADULT Has marbled brown upperparts including wings. Head has buff cheeks, dark stripe behind eye, and dark crown. Pale supercilium is yellow in front of eye and yellow throat is defined below by "V"-shaped black chest band. Underparts are flushed yellow on breast, grading to white on belly and with dark spots on flanks. In winter, black "V" is obscured by pale feather tips. JUVENILE Similar to winter adult.
Dimensions Length: 8 1/2-11" (22-28 cm)
Habitat Common and widespread in grassland and on farmland; resident in center of its range, but northern birds migrate south in fall and winter range extends to Texas.
Observation Tips Easy to see.
Range Florida, California, Rocky Mountains, New England, Great Lakes, Plains, Southeast, Western Canada, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada, Texas, Northwest, Southwest
Voice Song is a short burst of fluty whistles tu'lu Tee te'oo tliu'oo-tu; call is a dull tchuup.
Discussion Very similar to Eastern Meadowlark and also found in similar grassy habitats, perching on fence posts and the like. In areas of overlap, usually found in drier habitats. Specific identification can be a challenge: note differences in voice; Western Meadowlark's fuller yellow throat (yellow extends onto malar stripe while Eastern Meadowlark has a more distinct white malar stripe bordering its yellow throat); and extent of white in the outer tailóin Western Meadowlark outer two feathers are white, third-in having limited white (Eastern Meadowlark has three white outer tail feathers, fourth-in having limited white). To add to the confusion, northern birds are darker than southern ones; given this variation, sexes are similar.

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Ilaris
GENERIC NAME(S): CANAKINUMAB/PFFind Lowest Prices
This medication is used to treat a certain group of inherited disorders called cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), including familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome and Muckle-Wells syndrome. Canakinumab works by blocking a certain natural protein in your body (interleukin-1 beta) that may worsen the symptoms of CAPS. Canakinumab does not cure CAPS, but it can help lessen the symptoms, including rash, joint/muscle pain, fever, eye redness, and tiredness.
Canakinumab is also used to treat a certain type of rheumatoid arthritis in children (systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis-SJIA).
Read the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using canakinumab and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
This medication is injected under the skin as directed by your doctor. If you are using this medication to treat CAPS, it is usually given every eight weeks. If you are using this medication to treat SJIA, it is usually given every 4 weeks. The dosage is based on your age, weight, medical condition, and response to treatment.
If you are using this medication at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. While preparing the liquid, gently swirl the vial to dissolve the powder. Do not shake the vial. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. The mixed medication should be clear, and either colorless or a pale brownish yellow color. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
Before injecting each dose, clean the injection site with rubbing alcohol. It is important to change the location of the injection site each time to avoid problem areas under the skin. Do not inject into skin that is tender, red, or hard. Never reuse syringes or needles.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it on the same day every 8 weeks. It may help to mark your calendar with a reminder.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
Redness, itching, pain, warmth, or swelling at the injection site may occur. Dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, or headache may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
This medication can affect your immune system. It can lower your body's ability to fight an infection. You may be more likely to get serious infections, such as pneumonia, bone/joint infections, skin infections, or sinusitis. It may also be harder to fight an infection you already have. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any signs of an infection, such as fever/chills, cough, or cold/flu symptoms.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -

In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before using canakinumab, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: immune system problems (such as HIV infection), current/recent/returning infection (including hepatitis and tuberculosis), cancer.
This drug may make you dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages.
Before starting this drug, you should take a tuberculosis (TB) skin test to check for a type of tuberculosis that may not be causing any symptoms (latent TB). If you are diagnosed with TB, you must first be treated for it before you start canakinumab to prevent a serious TB infection.
Canakinumab can make you more likely to get infections or may worsen any current infections. Therefore, do not have immunizations/vaccinations without the consent of your doctor, and avoid contact with people who have recently received oral polio vaccine or flu vaccine inhaled through the nose. Also avoid contact with people who have infections that may spread to others (such as chickenpox, flu). Wash your hands well to prevent the spread of infections.
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is not known whether this drug passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

The Michigan State University College of Law Journal of Animal & Natural Resource Law hosts a symposium entitled "Chicken Farming in the 21st Century: A Look at the Legal, Ethical, & Environmental Concerns Associated with Poultry Confinement" on Thursday, April 4, 2013.
This symposium will analyze the current environmental issues and welfare concerns that arise out of poultry confinement. The event will address the legal, ethical, and environmental issues that arise out of both egg-laying hen operations and broiler chickens raised for meat. It seeks to foster further discussion on how to improve the quality of life of chickens while still meeting the growing population's food demands.
Discussion topics will include animal welfare, the ethics of poultry confinement, avian disease, waste management, water pollution, nutrient management, human health, and the impact of state and federal laws on poultry operations.
Presenters include:
The event will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. in MSU Law's Castle Board Room. More information is available at www.law.msu.edu/chicken.
The Journal of Animal & Natural Resource Law was the second legal journal on animal law established in North America. It remains one of only three in existence dedicated to the specialized topic.

As all Toronto cyclists know, crossing over rail tracks can be intimidating at first. Over time, you build up your confidence and begin riding along Queen or King with ease. And, just sometimes, you stop paying attention long enough and the tracks take you down. And this can really hurt.
In Seattle, it seems that one awkward rail crossing has become quite the hazard. Here's how they are dealing with the problem:
Helping cyclist navigate train track crossing is great. But, is this much paint and that many signs really necessary?
And this one is in ALL CAPS, which we all know is YELLING!
To be fair, this is only temporary while the city redesigns the area and the crossing.

Had to post this up, for those folks of you that read Ultimate X-Men. It's supposed to be a review, but the reviewer actually ended up just writing alternate dialogue for the book to be funny. I think it's pretty damn hilarious myself. Enjoy.

Story Title: New Mutants (Part One)
Written by: Brian Michael Bendis
Penciled by: David Finch
Inked by: Art Thibert
Colored by: Frank D'Armata & Morry Hollowell
Lettered by: Chris Eliopoulos
Editor: Ralph Macchio
Publisher: Marvel Comics
SCENE: The Worthington Mansion
Xavier: So what youre telling me is that the boy lives here alone because his parents find him distasteful?
Butler: Indeed, the boy wants for nothing financially as my masters are your atypical WASP scumbags who cannot cope with anything outside their own viewpoints of normalcy but neither can they bring themselves to disown the boy outright.
Xavier: So you want me to take him out of their bigoted hands in exchange for a huge sum of money?
Butler: That is the offer, yes.
Xavier: You insult me, sir. I take all young people with mutations into my school based on need, not on financial reward.
Butler: So you wont be needing the check for several million dollars?
Xavier: (grabbing the check) Not NEEDING as such but advanced holographic technology doesnt pay for itself YOINK!
SCENE: The Xavier School For Mutants : The Pool
Xavier: Im sorry to interrupt the 1 pm sunbathing and lounging around class, but I wanted to introduce our newest student. This is Warren. He never wears shirts.
Kitty: Oooh! I wanna sink my teeth into that! I dont care if hes Kosher or not
Storm: Kitty, youre 13 or something. Granted, wed never know if from that swimsuit or the way your body is drawn in the long shots
Rogue: Hold on isnt that kinda weird? I mean, he looks like an angel and then we have demons walking around with us
Nightcrawler: Ummmm .
Rogue: I mean, its all Biblical, right? Sign of the end times? The forces of good and evil standing among us, working in plain sight?!?
Nightcrawler: Uh.. hello? Standing right here?
Xavier: Now, Rogue. Kurt is not a demon. Apologize to him.
Rogue: Im sorry I called you a demon, Kurt.
Nightcrawler: Thats okay. Im just happy to see someone else is getting the dialogue with the heavy-handed religious commentary
Rogue: Well, Im just glad to be able to say I instead of Ah and sugar instead of sugah.
Xavier: I do understand your concerns and we will be discussing the religious implications of mutation later. Not now.
Rogue: When will we be discussing it, Professor?
Xavier: Off-camera. Theres no way Im going to **** off the Christian Coalition by touching this subject with a 10 foot poll in any story that will see print.
SCENE: The Xavier School For Mutants : The Next Day
Pro-Mutant Protestors: God is a mutant!
Anti-Mutant Protestors: God hates mutants!
Xavier: Before I ask which one of you is responsible for the crowds of zealots outside the campus, I would like to point out that I a) am not stupid b) am a telepath c) already know the answer and d) know that one of you has a history of saying things he shouldnt to people about the inner-workings of our semi-secret school of superheroic celebrities HANK?!
Beast: What? I just posted it on a few websites along with those naked pictures of Storm.
Storm: You son of a-
Xavier: You can electrolicize the hair off of him later. Right now, I want you to go find Warren.
Storm: Why me?
Xavier: Because he likes you.
Storm: You read his mind to find that out?
Xavier: No, I found the pictures bookmarked on the computer in his room.
SCENE: A Cliff.
Storm: Hey.
Warren: Wow, I finally get some dialogue of more than like three words in a book thats all about me.
Storm: We want you back.
Warren: So you can laugh at me some more?
Storm: We werent laughing. Well, Bobby was but we try to ignore him. All the girls think youre gorgeous and want you to take them to heaven and back.
Warren: Okay. So I am going to have a lot of gorgeous and in the most case legal-age girls fighting over me but people think Im this thing Im not.
Storm: So go show them what you are. Look, I write and nobody knows I write and nobody thinks of me as a writer, but that doesnt mean Im not a writer.
Warren: what?
Storm: I dont know. Its news to me too, but its a lot more characterization than I got when Mark Millar was writing this book.
Warren: Well.I guess I can get all those nuts off the lawn, at least.
SCENE: The Xavier School For Mutants
Warren: Im not an angel. Im a mutant. I dont have any message from any God, but I think that fighting over the whole thing is pretty silly and that we should all be good to each other despite our differences.
*crickets chirp*
SCENE: A Diner
Hank: (reading from newspaper) Angel Sightings are Mutant Hoax on Page One . Dick Cheneys Oil Company overcharging customers on page 20.
Shadowy Figure: Rather a mess, isnt it?
Hank: Who are you?
Shadowy Figure: Darned if I know. Allow me to say something cryptic to lead into the next part of the story.
Wolverine: Hey! I didnt show up once in this book! Call my agent!

Time to rejoin this thread.
I picked up for two weeks, and got some back issues, so here's my haul for 12/18/03:
New X-Men #150: DANG! Not what I expected, but what I feared. However, the final showdown between Wolvie and Magneto was worth the $3.50 alone!
Uncanny X-Men #434-435: What is this, weekly? Haven't read 'em yet, but I see Jubilee's in them, so they'll be awesome.
Transformers Armada #18: Kind of a letdown. Unicron shows up, and they whomp him easily. At least the stupid kids look like they're going to be long gone now.
GIJoe/Transformers #4: Haven't read yet. I've not cared too much for this series overall. It's very difficult to follow. But the art is gorgeous.
Transformers: The War Within II: The Dark Ages #3: Andrew Wildman is the greatest comic artist ever!!
GIJoe Frontline #18: Last issue? WTF? The last two issues of his have been excellent, better than Special Missions back in the 80s. The cover of a carded Roadblock as TV Show Host resculpt is one of the best covers of all time.
SW: ROTJ Infinities #1: See my comments in the other thread on this one.
SW: Republic #58: Excellent read overall. Rather shocking to see how Ani picked up the choking trick, and to speculate on his thoughts when he finds out the greatest Tusken Jedi of all is a great healer. Not sure what happened to Luminari, or when Barris became a Master. The end with Asajj and the imprisoned "bring in the gimp" Obi-Wan was uber-lame, though.
Wolverine #9: Haven't read yet.
1602 #5: Haven't read yet. Yeah, I know. Blasphemy.
Superman/Batman #2-4: Haven't read, but I had to pick up after reading #1.
Supreme Power #1, 3-5: Man! With all the recommendations I've heard for this, I still wasn't ready for how good it turned out to be. I want #2!
That's my jacket!
I snuck into a previously undiscovered comic store (found about 1/2 an hour south of me) and bought 3 comics today (got in crap, too - but that's another story!).
Supreme Power 5
Thor: Vikings 5 (can't read until I get my #3)
The Truth #2, so I can now read this alternate Cap story.
My regular books are piling up at the local store, won't be able to empty them out until January I don't think. Yikes.
New Comics(12/17/03)
Uncanny 435 (What is this? Weekly?)
New X-Men 150
Teen Titans 6
Robin 121
Ultimate Six 5
Emma Frost 6
Untrue? That was odd....anyway. I forgot to grab Transformers/GiJoe 4. Or thought that I already had it. So that will be on next weeks purchase.
Uncanny. Stale follow up to the Draco. Whatever happened to the Vault? It seems like they have 20,000 super powered criminal holding facilities instead of just one. Doesn't this wreak havok on the budget?I suggest Marvel reintroduce S.H.I.E.L.D. and have them in control of the Vault and enlist all the underused support characters as new agents. Like Jessica Drew, Silver Sable and her crew, Luke Cage, etc. Plus, Dum Dum Dugan is gotta be pushing eighty, so show him as an old geezer. Nick has the infinity formula, but Dugan ain't nothing but old. give him gray hair and a cane...where was I?
New X-Men SPOILERS!!! I knew Jeannie was gonna bite it since I read Wizard last month, but WOW! What a finale! Scott releasing an optic blast point blank into Mags helmet was outdone only by Wolvie decapitating him. Holy Crow!!! Heh. Morrison brought Erik back just to kill him all over again. Sweet!
Teen Titans. Well, it's obligatory that the JLA show up in the first year of each incarnation of the Teen Titans and scuffle. This was about par for the course. I liked how Nightwing showed up and played responsible mediator. it occured to me that ALOT of people know Bruce Wayne's secret just because Dick and Tim are so loose with theirs.
Robin. A decent fresh start. Especially since I bought an issue a couple months ago and thought it was horrid. I remember Rick Mays from way back on Nomad (he followed Hawbaker on the series). I'll keep this up for the story arc.
U6. I'm gonna have to go back and read this from issue one. Its a great story.
Emma Frost. Nice closure to the story. I think it's a good place to drop this title.

Batman - This story so far has a couple of similarities to Hush. Bringing back a lot of old Bat enemies, while introducing a new one. Hmmm? It's been pretty good thus far, though no where near Hush.
Uncanny X-Men - Pretty good, could this be the beginning of a new Cain Marko?
Amazing Spidey - Awesome. Hilarious. Have to quote this "Thor, very nice guy. Wears a fifty-six long. It's snug on him, but that's how he likes it. Reads gardening magazines. And Modern Bride. I figure he's either a real romantic kind of guy, or his hammer leans a little to the left, if you know what I'm saying." Just all around excellent, with great writing.
Star Wars Empire - The attack on the Death Star from Biggs perspective. Pretty good, character story about Biggs.
JLA - First part of a new story, it's was ok.
Oh and by the way... Merry Christmas

Batman. So are all of Batman's rogues locked up in Arkham until they show up in a storyline and then they aren't in Arkham any longer? I get confused sometimes.
JLA. As gsr said. OK. basically I'm biding my time with this one until The Tenth Circle begins.
Wonder Woman. jabber jabber jabber. I'm dropping this after next months issue concludes the story arc. It's all talk and no fighting.
Uncanny. Other than seeing Cain shag She-Hulk, which is a funny idea, this was a hohum issue. Austen is losing that snappy jargon I enjoyed when I first started reading again.
Avengers. Seriously, I didn't care that Jack of Hearts bit it. The logic behind the entire issue was suspect. He blows himself up because he had a piffle with Ant-Man?Ironically, Ant-Man is also dead, since he bit it in the Alias comic. Continuity!!!
Amazing. I also liked the Thor crack. Pretty funny.
Haven't read Supes of TF/GIJoe.
But I did get Wizard and they had a preview of the Marvel Knights '4'. Solid writing. I'm torn since I also want to pick up Ultimate FF and my pocketbook is screaming at me. They also had the Wizard fan awards...but thats another thread I think...
Who's a sexy kitty? Who is? Yes, you are. You're a SEXY kitty...

"Comic Collecting. Miss a decade, miss a lot."
Cool. I didn't think Supes 200 was coming out until next week so this is a nice suprise. However, I'm on the verge of dumping this title. The stories for the past 6 months have been ho-hum at best. And the "reimaging" that's going on where the history of Superman is being merged with the Smallville show is really starting to make some long time readers leave this title.

One is focused on representing the Kiwis, the other is not so sure with the lure of State of Origin and big money, but Tuivasa-Sheck and Taumalolo would be happier if the decision was taken out of their hands, writes Steve Deane
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was born in Samoa, raised in New Zealand, has been living in Australia for a year, and has pledged his future unquestionably to New Zealand.
Jason Taumalolo was born in Auckland, moved to Australia when he was 13, has been 18th man for the Kiwis in an Anzac Test and still admits if Mal Meninga came calling again he'd have to think about representing Queensland in State of Origin.
They have different backgrounds and different perspectives but the pair of 19-year-old Junior Kiwis - young men at the forefront of the international eligibility wrangle that has beset league - share one common opinion: they want to see some rules, and quickly.
That Tuivasa-Sheck, who a year ago was playing for the Otahuhu College First XIII and has played just six NRL games, has already been accosted about his 'Origin' prospects shows just how pervasive the issue has become. The kid hasn't even scored an NRL try, but a couple of encouraging early performances for the Roosters prompted a reminder he would be eligible for Australia in just two years, and questions from a sideline reporter about where his allegiance lay.
"They get on to you pretty quick," he says. "They jump real quick. The questions are just coming along and I was like, 'oh I've got to say the right things here'.
"It was weird that they were thinking like that. I didn't even think I'd be in line for all that stuff. I thought I'd still be playing under 20s.
"Straight away I got told that in two years I would be eligible for Australia. I was like 'oh, okay, sweet, sounds good'."
It's a tough situation for any kid to be put in, particularly when financial pressures are factored in, says Taumalolo.
"Money is a big factor," he admits. "Especially when you are young, you see the big numbers and you get all excited about it. You start thinking about it and it keeps going over and over in your head."
The revered figure of Meninga paying you a visit was also a powerful influence, Taumalolo confirmed.
"At first it is pretty exciting - someone like Mal Meninga talking to me. Most players coming up look up to Mal Meninga, so just having him talk to you is a privilege. To be approached and asked to play for Queensland? It's pretty up there."
That excitement soon turns into pressure, though, particularly when media scrutiny starts to bear. Taumalolo made his decision to stick with the Kiwis in consultation with his parents.
"They wanted me to decide on how I would feel in a couple of years, if I'd be happy playing for Queensland or New Zealand. At the end of the day, heart was at home and I chose New Zealand."
At least for now. The 18th man in May's Anzac test, the strapping back rower has come as close as possible to representing the Kiwis without having yet done so. The way the rules stand, until he gets on the field in a test he is still fair game.
"I hope New Zealand picks me some time soon. It would be an honour to play for the black and white jersey. But in saying that if the Maroons do ask I might think about it."
In words that would be music to Meninga's ears, Taumolo admitted if Kiwis continued to leave him out of the test team and the Queensland coach were to pick up the phone and attempt to recruit him he'd be "back to square one".
Not so Tuivasa-Sheck. The fullback with the twinkling feet has made his call and intends to stand by it.
"I think it would have to be New Zealand and the Kiwis. I love Samoa but New Zealand has just done so much for me. It has got me where I am, provided things for me, so I just want to stick with the Kiwis and play for them.
"It's hard for all the boys. But once again it comes down to who you want to play for. I can say that I choose the Kiwis and I'll stick with the Kiwis."
Tuivasa-Sheck and Taumalolo would be happier if the decision was taken out of their hands. Both favour a rule where a player declares their allegiance prior to their first NRL game and is then bound by that declaration. That way they could get on with what they should be doing - trying to establish themselves as bona fide NRL stars.
"The big thing is trying not to get ahead of myself - with these guys coming and saying I could make that kind of level," says Tuivasa-Sheck. "I've got to stay focused on my game, try not to be over-confident or that will just kill my performance."
Six young men on the front lines of the eligibility battle
Jason Taumalolo, 19
Cowboys. Born in Auckland, Taumalolo moved to Australia when he was 13. Courted by Mal Meninga despite having never started an NRL match (his 21 appearances have all come off the bench), he has pledged his future to New Zealand, serving as 18th man in May's Anzac test.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 19
Born in Samoa but raised in Auckland, the teenage prodigy was scouted by the Roosters playing for Otahuhu College in last year's national secondary schools final. Broke into first grade only months later and has appeared in six NRL games without scoring a try. Has pledged future to Kiwis.
James Tamou, 24
Born in Palmerston North, the Cowboys prop's first listed club is Levin Knights. A member of the Kiwis train-on squad 12 months ago, Tamou accepted overtures from New South Wales and made his test debut in May for Australia against his former training partners. Went on to play extremely well for New South Wales in the latest Origin series and has urged other Kiwis to follow suit.
Josh Papali'i, 19
Born in Auckland but emigrated to Australia when he was 6. Had consistently rebuffed requests by Mal Meninga to align himself with Queensland. But when selected for the Kiwis train-on squad last month the former Junior Kiwi changed his mind, throwing in his lot with Queensland.
Sam Kasiano, 22
Born and raised in Auckland, the NRL's prop of the year moved across the Tasman as a 16-year-old. Lived briefly in Queensland, making him a key target for Meninga. After a protracted saga he eventually chose New Zealand and will debut for the Kiwis on Saturday in Townsville.
Anthony Milford, 18
Wanted by the Junior Kiwis for Saturday's match against their Australian counterparts, the Brisbane born-and-raised junior Raiders playmaker - who has New Zealand heritage and lived in Avondale for a couple of years - declared himself a Queenslander. "I was raised and have lived my whole life in Queensland," Milford said. "I've only been to New Zealand a few times."
