KDKA-TV, channel 2, is a CBS owned-and-operated television station located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The station is owned by the CBS Television Stations subsidiary of CBS Corporation, as part of a duopoly with CW station WPCW (channel 19). The two stations share studios located at the Gateway Center in downtown Pittsburgh, KDKA-TV's transmitter located in the Perry North neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
KDKA-TV is available on cable television in the Johnstown, Altoona, and Wheeling areas, as well as several other out-of-market cable systems in northwestern Pennsylvania, northwestern Maryland, northeastern Ohio, and North-Central West Virginia. The furthest south KDKA is carried on cable is in Beverly, West Virginia.[1]
Early history[edit]
DuMont origins[edit]
The station went on the air on January 11, 1949, as WDTV ("W DuMont TeleVision") on channel 3, it was owned and operated by the DuMont Television Network.[2] It was the 51st television station in the U.S. and the third and last DuMont-owned station to sign on the air, behind WABD (now WNYW) in New York City and WTTG in Washington, D.C. To mark the occasion, a live television special aired that day from 8:30 to 11 p.m. ET on WDTV, which began with a one-hour local program broadcast from Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh. The remainder of the show featured live segments from DuMont, CBS, NBC, and ABC with Arthur Godfrey, Milton Berle, DuMont host Ted Steele, and many other celebrities.[3]
The station also represented a milestone in the television industry, providing the first "network" that included Pittsburgh and 13 other cities from Boston to St. Louis.[4] WDTV was one of the last stations to receive a construction permit before the Federal Communications Commission-imposed four-year freeze on new television station licenses.
When the release of the FCC's Sixth Report and Order ended the license freeze in 1952, DuMont was forced to give up its channel 3 allocation to alleviate interference with nearby stations broadcasting on the frequency. WDTV moved its facilities to channel 2 on November 23, 1952.[5] Shortly after moving, it was the first station in the country to broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week, advertising that its 1:00-7:00 a.m. "Swing Shift Theatre" served the "200,000 workers [in their viewing area] who finish shift work at midnight."[6] DuMont's network of stations on coaxial cable stretched from Boston to St. Louis. These stations were linked together via AT&T's coaxial cable feed with the sign-on of WDTV allowing the network to broadcast live programming to all the stations at the same time. Stations not yet connected to the coaxial cable received kinescope recordings via physical delivery.[citation needed]
Dealing with competition[edit]
Until the end of the freeze, WDTV's only competition came in the form of distant signals from stations in Johnstown, Altoona, Wheeling, West Virginia and Youngstown, Ohio. However, Pittsburgh saw two UHF stations launch during 1953 – ABC affiliate WENS-TV (channel 16, later to become WINP-TV), and WKJF-TV (channel 53, later to become WPGH-TV), an independent station. At the time, UHF stations could not be viewed without the aid of an expensive, set-top converter, and the picture quality was marginal at best with one. UHF stations in the area faced an additional problem because Pittsburgh is located in a somewhat rugged dissected plateau, and the reception of UHF stations is usually poor in such terrain. These factors played a role in the short-lived existences of both WKJF and WENS.[citation needed]
Although Pittsburgh was the sixth largest market in the country (behind New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington-Baltimore), the other VHF stations in town were slow to develop. This was because the major cities in the Upper Ohio Valley are so close together that they must share the VHF band. After the FCC lifted the license freeze in 1952, it refused to grant any new commercial VHF construction permits to Pittsburgh in order to give the smaller cities in the area a chance to get on the air. WDTV had a de facto monopoly on Pittsburgh television. Like its sister stations WABD and WTTG, it was far stronger than the DuMont network as a whole. According to network general manager Ted Bergmann, WDTV brought in $4 million a year, which was more than enough to keep the network afloat. Owning the only readily viewable station in such a large market gave DuMont considerable leverage in getting its programs cleared in large markets where it did not have an affiliate. As CBS, NBC and ABC had secondary affiliations with WDTV, this was a strong incentive to stations in large markets to clear DuMont's programs or risk losing valuable advertising in the sixth-largest market. Also, NBC affiliates from Johnstown (WJAC-TV) and Wheeling (WTRF-TV, itself now affiliated with CBS) were able to be received in Pittsburgh and a CBS affiliate from Steubenville, Ohio (WSTV-TV, now NBC affiliate WTOV-TV) was also able to be received there as well. CBS, in fact, actually attempted to purchase WSTV-TV's license before it went on the air and move its license to Pittsburgh due to the close proximity between Pittsburgh and Steubenville (At the time less than an hour apart by car; the completion of the Penn-Lincoln Parkway in 1964 reduced that time to about a half hour driving time today.), but the FCC turned CBS down. The Wheeling/Steubenville TV market, despite its very close proximity to Pittsburgh and overlapping signals, remains a separate market by FCC standards today.
WDTV aired all DuMont network shows live and "cherry-picked" the best shows from the other networks, airing them on kinescope on an every-other-week basis. WDTV's sign-on was also significant because it was now possible to feed live programs from the East to the Midwest and vice versa. In fact, its second broadcast was the activation of the coaxial cable linking New York City and Chicago. It would be another two years before the West Coast received live programming, but this was the beginning of the modern era of network television.[citation needed]
Westinghouse enters[edit]
By 1954, DuMont was in serious financial trouble. Paramount Pictures, which owned a stake in DuMont, vetoed a merger with ABC, who had merged with Paramount's former theater division United Paramount Theaters a year before. A few years earlier, the FCC had ruled that Paramount controlled DuMont and there were still lingering questions about whether UPT had actually broken off from Paramount. Paramount did not want to risk the FCC's wrath.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh-based Westinghouse Electric Corporation had been competing with local politicians to acquire the non-commercial channel 13 license from the FCC, as no other Pittsburgh-allocated VHF station would be signing on for the foreseeable future. After launching WBZ-TV in Boston in 1948 and purchasing two other television stations, Westinghouse was growing impatient with not having a station in its own home market. Westinghouse later offered a compromise plan to the FCC, in which the Commission would grant Westinghouse the channel 13 license; Westinghouse would then "share" the facility with the educational licensee. Finding the terms unacceptable, Pittsburgh attorney Leland Hazard called Westinghouse CEO Gwilym Price to ask him if he should give up on his fight for public television. Price said that Hazard should keep fighting for it, giving Westinghouse backing for the station that would eventually become WQED.[8]
Westinghouse then turned its attention to WDTV, offering DuMont a then-record $9.75 million for the station in late 1954. Desperate for cash, DuMont promptly accepted Westinghouse's offer.[9] While the sale gave DuMont a short-term cash infusion, it eliminated DuMont's leverage in getting clearances in other major markets. Within two years, the DuMont network was no more. After the sale closed in January 1955, Westinghouse changed WDTV's call letters to KDKA-TV, after Westinghouse's pioneering radio station KDKA (1020 AM).[10] As such, it became one of the few stations east of the Mississippi River with a "K" call sign. The WDTV calls now reside on a CBS affiliate located 130 miles south of Pittsburgh in Weston, West Virginia, which is unrelated to the current KDKA-TV. That station, which signed on after KDKA-TV adopted its current callsign, adopted those calls "in honor" of KDKA-TV.
As KDKA radio had long been an affiliate of the NBC Blue Network (Westinghouse was a co-founder of RCA, NBC's then-parent company), it was expected that KDKA-TV would eventually become a primary affiliate of the NBC television network. But the network was seeking to purchase Westinghouse's Philadelphia stations, KYW radio and WPTZ (now KYW-TV). When Westinghouse balked, NBC threatened to pull its programming from WPTZ and Boston's WBZ-TV unless Westinghouse agreed to trade its Philadelphia properties for NBC's WTAM-AM-FM and WNBK in Cleveland. The decision would lead to an acrimonious relationship between Westinghouse and NBC in later years.[11][12] Two years after the ownership change, channel 2 became a primary affiliate of the higher-rated CBS network instead.[13] KDKA-TV retained secondary affiliations with NBC until WIIC-TV (channel 11, now WPXI) signed on in 1957, and ABC until WTAE-TV (channel 4) signed on in 1958. KDKA-TV became the flagship station of Westinghouse's broadcasting arm, Group W. On November 22, 1963, newscaster Bill Burns provided almost three hours of live coverage after the shooting of President John F. Kennedy.[14]
Over the years, channel 2 pre-empted moderate amounts of CBS programming. At one point, from the early 1960s to July 1990, the station did not clear As The World Turns. At the same time, WTAJ-TV in Altoona had run the program and was viewable in the eastern part of the Pittsburgh market. Also, CBS affiliate WTRF-TV in Wheeling, West Virginia was viewable in Pittsburgh and to the west. Until 1978, the show ran on WPGH and for a few years after that, it ran on WPTT (channel 22). KDKA-TV also preempted the daytime game shows and reruns from CBS at various points during the 1970s. KDKA also produced plenty of local programs such as Evening Magazine, Pittsburgh Talks, and local newscasts. The station also occasionally preempted CBS primetime programs for a syndicated movie, local news special, or sports during the years the station had broadcast rights to Pittsburgh Pirates baseball and Pittsburgh Penguins hockey. Weekend pre-emptions included a small portion of Saturday and Sunday morning cartoons, and Sunday morning religious programs.
In 1993, KDKA stopped running CBS This Morning and instead ran Disney's syndicated cartoon block. Less than a year later, Westinghouse made a long-term deal with CBS to convert the entire five-station Group W television unit to a group-wide CBS affiliation. Part of this agreement included a deal to stop preempting any CBS shows, except for extended breaking news coverage or local news events beginning in 1995. KDKA-TV continued preempting moderate amounts of programming into 1995. In the fall of 1995, channel 2 began running the entire CBS lineup in pattern, as it, and sister station KPIX-TV in San Francisco, were already affiliated with the network.
In early 1996, Westinghouse acquired CBS, making KDKA-TV a CBS owned-and-operated station, after four decades as being simply a CBS affiliate. In 1997, Westinghouse became CBS Corporation, which would then merge with Viacom (which, ironically, has been Paramount's parent since 1994) in 2000, making KDKA a sister station with Pittsburgh UPN affiliate WNPA-TV (channel 19, now CW station WPCW). Five years later, Viacom became CBS Corporation and spun off a new Viacom.
In August 2007, KDKA-TV unveiled a new image campaign, entitled Your Home, with music and lyrics performed by singer-songwriter Bill Deasy. The promo features scenes of Pittsburgh and its surrounding areas, as well as three of the station's personalites. In September 2007, the station unveiled another promo featuring the Joe Grushecky song "Coming Home". Later, a third spot, "Long Way Home", was introduced, featuring the voice of Kelsey Friday.[15]
Digital television[edit]
Digital channels[edit]
Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming[16] |
2.1 | 1080i | 16:9 | KDKA 2. | Main KDKA-TV programming / CBS |
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
KDKA-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 2, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate, during that night's broadcast of the Late Show with David Letterman. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 25.[17] Before they turned off their analog signal and go to nightlight, they show a clip of what they were om the present to the the time WDTV aired. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former VHF analog channel 2.
In July 2009, the station applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate two repeater signals: channel 31 in Morgantown, West Virginia and channel 40 in Johnstown.[18]
Syndicated talk shows[edit]
As a Westinghouse-owned station, KDKA carried the numerous syndicated talk shows produced by its parent company, including The Merv Griffin Show, The Mike Douglas Show, and Hour Magazine.
Later, KDKA carried The Oprah Winfrey Show during its first 9 nationally syndicated seasons (1986-1995), airing the show weekdays at 5 PM. In 1989, KDKA acquired the rights to The Sally Jessy Raphael Show, airing it weekdays at 9 AM and Phil Donahue weekdays at 4 PM, respectively. However, due to the poor ratings of Donahue in the Pittsburgh market, KDKA showed strong interest in new talk shows such as The Ricki Lake Show and The Gordon Elliott Show. Due to KDKA being owned by CBS, the station airs the entire network lineup in order.
Sally & Donahue moved to WTAE in 1993, and two years later, KDKA debuted a 5:00 PM newscast, at which point Oprah Winfrey also moved to WTAE, airing at 4:00 PM. In 1997, The Sally Jessy Raphael Show returned to KDKA, and once again was given the 9 AM time slot, where it remained until its cancellation in 2002. Sally was a success in the Pittsburgh area, even beating Montel Williams on WPXI in the 1990s.

Pittsburgh Steelers[edit]
As CBS holds the broadcast contract with the NFL to show games involving AFC teams, KDKA-TV has been the official broadcaster of most Pittsburgh Steelers games since 1998, and serves as the team's flagship station. The team's preseason games that are not nationally televised are also shown on KDKA. KDKA began its relationship with the Steelers in 1962, when CBS first started the leaguewide television package. The Steelers are one of three AFC teams that predate the AFC's basis league, the American Football League, and so KDKA, and not WTAE-TV or WIIC-TV (now WPXI), carried Steelers road games (home games were blacked out locally under all circumstances until 1973, when sold-out home games began to be allowed on local television) – the AFL had television contracts with ABC, and later, NBC.
Due to the NFL rules of the time, after the AFL-NFL merger, KDKA did not broadcast any Steelers games from 1970 to 1972. Beginning in 1973, KDKA was allowed to air any Steelers games in which they hosted a team from the National Football Conference, which contained most of the old-line National Football League teams. KDKA also broadcast two Steeler championship wins, Super Bowl X in 1976 and Super Bowl XIV in 1980. Since the Steelers have sold out every home game starting in 1972, no blackouts have been required. In the meantime, from 1970 to 1997, channel 11 aired most Steelers games.
When the NFC package moved from CBS to Fox in 1994, WPGH-TV aired the Steelers games that had before aired on KDKA, leaving the senior station without Steelers games for four years. Today, and in general since 1970, the only exceptions to all the above are when the Steelers play at night. Their Monday Night Football games have always aired locally on WTAE, first when ABC had the rights, and since 2006, on ESPN. WTAE also aired simulcasts of their games aired as part of ESPN Sunday Night Football from 1987 to 2005. The NFL requires games on cable channels to be simulcast over-the-air in the markets of the participating teams (again with the home team's broadcast subject to blackout). WTAE has simulcast ESPN-aired games because ESPN is 20% owned by WTAE's owners, Hearst Corporation – their ABC stations have right of first refusal for these simulcasts. Games on TNT and NFL Network have aired on various stations in the area.[citation needed]
News operation[edit]
This section requires expansion with: further information on the history of KDKA-TV's news department. (August 2013) |
KDKA-TV presently broadcasts 34½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with six hours on weekdays, three hours on Saturdays and 1½ hours on Sundays); KDKA also produces 27 hours of local newscasts each week for CW owned-and-operated sister station WPCW, in the form of an hour-long extension of KDKA's weekday morning newscast at 7 a.m. and a nightly 35-minute newscast at 10 p.m.
In 2001, KDKA-TV began producing a 10 p.m. newscast on WNPA (now WPCW); in 2005, it added a two-hour weekday morning newscast from 7-9 a.m. on that station (which was later reduced to one hour from 7-8 a.m.).
On June 16, 2009, KDKA-TV began broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition during its noon broadcast, with the introduction of a new set and weather center. Like rival WTAE, only video from in-studio cameras is broadcast in HD while most of the content, including field reports and video footage, are in pillarboxed 4:3 standard definition. On September 1, 2010, KDKA-TV debuted the standardized CBS O&O graphics and music package ("The CBS Enforcer Music Collection" by Gari Media Group).
As of February 2013, KDKA-TV is the most watched news station in the hours of noon, 4, 5, 6 and 11 p.m. However, WTAE is the most watched news program in the Pittsburgh area in the hours of 5, 6 a.m. WPXI is most watched at the 10 p.m. time slot on WPGH-TV.[19]

Hi Illusions
What you say is brilliant! Just reading the title of the post before I'd even read what you were saying immediately and automatically brought up my old programming and messages of it's wrong and you SHOULDN'T feel sorry for yourself. "Snap out of it". "Get on with it". "Look at all the good things you've got". "Others are in a worse situation than you". "Things will get better". "People won't like you if you moan or are negative". etc etc And the feeling of there being a time limit on your feelings. Ie. it's ok to feel sorry for yourself for a day or a week or whatever but anything beyond that isn't ok. By then you should be getting over or on with things. And then there's the people who say that you get what you attract so if you're feeling sorry for yourself and looking at negatives or feeling angry, hurt, depressed etc you'll just create more of the same. So what happens? Not only do you have the original feelings but you then feel guilty about having them and so you're further than ever from allowing them to just be. And if you're not allowed to feel sorry for yourself, if your feelings go unacknowledged then you are quite right, they will fester. Like you describe or they will be stuffed inside and not allowed to exist and that can cause all sorts of problems. I think it's when emotions get stuck and aren't allowed that things get very painful and instead of having a little spot to squeeze you get this huge nasty carbuncle that takes a lot of work to heal and is all red and sore with gunk coming out. So yes, it's good to know that it's ok to feel sorry for yourself and is actually a good thing. And that acknowledgement and compassion are the first steps to feeling better. Having respect for how you are feeling and being allowed to feel sorrow, anger, disappointment, fear, envy, grief, loneliness - whatever. The hard bit is trusting that you will come through the "negative" feelings. That you will progress and not get stuck. So for anyone with strong programming on "feeling sorry for yourself" what you say is very helpful. |

Hi Bmlyeryk
Before I can answer your question, I need to ask you a couple of questions: * When you're "feeling sorry for yourself", what do you tell yourself about the fact that you're feeling sorry for yourself? How do you feel about feeling sorry for yourself? * What do you do when you feel sorry for yourself? What do you do physically during that time, and what do you feel? Love and Light and Magic xxx |

Why choose our Diagnostic Medical Sonography program?Diagnostic Medical Sonography is the industry terminology for an ultrasound scan or sonogram. Sonography utilizes high frequency sound waves to image and evaluate an area on the patient's body. When most people think of sonograms, they automatically think pregnancy, but it is much more than that. It includes, but is not limited to, evaluations of the brain, abdomen and peripheral blood vessels. Sonographers play a vital role in healthcare because the patient and physician rely on them for the accurate scans and thorough reporting. If the thought of working closely with patients while using highly technical equipment sounds good to you, then Diagnostic Medical Sonography is the program for you.
Will I be successful?

What will I learn?It is our goal as a diagnostic medical sonography school to provide you with the environment and curriculum suited for both classroom and hands-on learning.

A Manolo Moment
Footwear designer Manolo Blahnik has been in the business since the early seventies. Over the decades, there have been ups and downs, of course, but through it all, the man and the brand have achieved the status of a modern classic. The return of the pointy-toed pump for Fall has arbiters—Footwear News among them —calling it a Manolo moment. Blahnik himself demurs. "I have never had a perception about whether it's my time or someone else's time," he told the paper. "I don't think I have a time."
If a Manolo is forever, though, that doesn't mean now isn't a very good time to indulge. The Blahnik classics look fresh once again, and Style.com's senior market editor, Marina Larroude, highlighted many of them in her Fall 2011 Accessories Index. For fall, there are concessions to trends in the form of plaids, leopard prints, and the season's must-have fur-trimmed sandal, but our favorite is the ankle-strap pointy pump, a ladylike standard that's hallmark Blahnik. Dare we say it? Timeless.
If You're Going To The Kickoff, You're Going To Need The Right Shoes
Most of the country will be tuning in to the Super Bowl this Sunday to watch the Packers take on the Steelers. But twelve F.I.T. students will be paying particularly close attention—to the halftime entertainment, at least. The Black Eyed Peas are booked to perform the mid-game show, and for the aspiring designers-to-be on Footwear News' new online reality show, FN Shoe Star, Fergie might as well be their homework. The pop star plays a starring role in the new Web series, where she'll challenge the contestants to design a shoe around her and with her. Anyone who reads the celeb weeklies knows she's got a taste for peeptoes and booties, but those hoping to succeed—the winner, selected during the final round of judging in June, will win a design position with sponsor Brown Shoe (which produces Fergie's own footwear collection)—will need to keep a close eye on their collaborator-to-be. The lady already appeared on the first episode, which debuted at FNshoestar.com late last month. On Monday, the 12 finalists will be narrowed to six contestants and the game will truly begin. So if you find yourself elbow to elbow with a fashion student at McNulty's on Sunday, you'll know why. Do her a favor: Don't get any wing sauce on her sketchpad.
Shoe In
According to reports, Blake Lively walked away from a Christian Louboutin sample sale recently with 40 pairs in tow. She came clean at last night's 24th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards. "Like any addict, the first step is admitting the problem," Lively, in Prabal Gurung and black and white Louboutin booties, said. "I've ordered so many pairs that I should be institutionalized!" That being the case, who better to present the designer with this year's Person of the Year award? (And why Person of the Year versus Designer of the Year, an award which went to Brian Atwood? Louboutin himself wasn't entirely sure. "I was in the car today actually thinking about [it]," he said. "I had to think deeply, which rarely happens to me." Person or designer, when it comes to process, Louboutin keeps it simple. "For me, it always starts with a pen and a piece of paper." It ends, if last night was any indication, with red soles clacking everywhere.)
Among the Louboutin-clad army last night was Jessica Alba, on hand to present Blake Mycoskie of TOMS Shoes with the Brand of the Year award. (She deemed her studded black CL pumps "hardcore.") Her footwear fixation, she revealed, seems to run in the family. "She is obsessed with shoes," Alba, in a natty D&G suit, said of her daughter, Honor. "It's a little bit of a problem. She tries to wear her plastic high heels out and we're like, 'No.' She can wear them in the house and that's it."
Honor would have been in like-minded company last night. There wasn't a pair of kitten heels, much less flats, in the house, all of which suited Atwood just fine. "I do try and make it comfortable, but I like them high," Atwood, who celebrated afterward with an intimate fête at Jimmy at the James Hotel, said. "Everything is lifted and it puts a little strut in your step," he explained. Olivia Palermo, who accompanied Emerging Talent Award winner Charlotte Dellal (and was wearing her shoes), was in the same camp. "The higher the better!"

So with the metformin - I totally take it whenever. It's bad - not on a schedule at all. I'm supposed to take Metformin ER 500 mg, 2 tabs twice daily. Would you start with one dose daily? For how long?
Thanks for responding,

I was dx with PCOS in 2011. I have made positive lifestyle changes but obviously not perfect. I had a bad addiction to carbs! I am much better now than I used to be. I take Metformin but I often skip doses because of the side effects (I know, bad!) I am still not ovulating consistently and AF comes maybe 3 times per year.
My DH & I have been TTC since we got married in January 2011.
I am starting Clomid in May and I am super nervous! What was it like ladies? Did it work for you?

A Wyoming Highway Patrol dispatcher has confirmed that a South Ogden man died in a car crash near Cheyenne, Wyo., on Monday morning.
Officials say 30-year-old James Castleman was killed in the crash.
Media reports indicate that Castleman drove his trailer off the road, then tried to brake and steer back onto the road, but the trailer flipped in the median and slid into oncoming traffic.
The reports indicate that Castleman was partially ejected and died at the scene and that a 35-year-old passenger sustained injuries that were not life-threatening.
The dispatcher said the crash happened at Mile Marker 359 on westbound I-80.

Welcome to the tumblr of positivity! If you're having a rough day and don't think you should be here, just hold your horses and stay a while before you go poo-pooing your life.
Sawako in japanese means "lively child" and that's exactly what Sawako, the main character from Kimi ni Todoke, really is. People often miss it, but she's a very happy person.
The goal of this tumblr is to make us realize that we have a lot of things to be thankful for no matter how small they are. This is not a tumblr where you brag about situational stuff. According to science only 10 percent of your happiness relies on situational stuff. So you can write something like, "I got a raise!" but not "I make $XX per hour," which is situational, and just might sound like bragging. XD So nothing situational. Just stuff that happened that day.
For example, you could have the perfect job, car, mate, and looks, but if you're the type of person that gets mad when someone uses up all the toothpaste, then chances are, you're not very happy.
Also, this'll help us be able to share the joy of little things with others. I don't know about you, but I'd love to hear about how your day went.
I implore you to leave a list of at least 10 things in the ask and we'll post them as well as other posts of positivity. We want you to have a better outlook on life.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that a federal judge has approved a consent decree of permanent injunction against Ben Venue Laboratories, Inc., and three of its corporate officers for failing to comply with current good manufacturing practice requirements as required by federal law.
The action restrains Ben Venue Laboratories, a Boehringer Ingelheim Company, from manufacturing and distributing drugs from its Bedford, Ohio, facility until FDA determines that its operations are compliant with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Recent FDA inspections found several product quality problems, including particles in some sterile products and basic facility cleaning and maintenance issues. Poorly maintained equipment deteriorated to the point that it shed particles into injectable drugs.
Ben Venue's chief executive officer, vice president of operations, and vice president of quality operations were named defendants in the consent decree, which was signed by Judge Lesley Wells of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio on Jan. 31, 2013.
"The company's failure to promptly address these problems put patients at risk of receiving poor quality drugs and compromises the availability of medically necessary products," said Melinda K. Plaisier, acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. "This company continued to violate the law, and the FDA took action to help ensure that medicines that consumers rely on are safe, effective, and of high quality."

BMW makes it easier to talk to your car
Conversations with most current automotive voice command systems go something like this: You: Destination Car: Please specify the mode of destination entry Y: Address C: Please say a city name Y: San Francisco C: Please say a street name Y: Market Street C: Please say a street number Y: 101 C: To accept the destination, please press the talk button
And that's when everything is working optimally. This process is so tedious that most people opt for manual entry with the touch screen or whatever other controller the car offers.
In September, BMW will simplify voice command greatly by … Read more

This is the first top I have ever made (I've been living in the land of skirts and dresses since I started sewing back in 2005. This project included a lot of "firsts" for me. First time making spaghetti straps, first time making adjustable straps at that, first time adding buttons, first experience with princess seams, bias tape, and first time drafting a pattern from an existing piece of clothing (a top I got from Plato's Closet last summer that I loooooove. I also used the contour bust pattern, which was easy to work with, but a little large for me, so I have to take in the sides of the bust a little yet, but I'm so excited about the way it turned out I wanted to post it right away…here it is! My first post on burdastyle :)

Sutton looking to use team-first approach
The Lafayette Lady Commodores hoops squad is wasting no time kicking off their season.
This weekend, the Lady 'Dores will participate in Hickory Flat's jamboree, a week before Water Valley and Oxford's squads open their season, and a month before the Commodores begin their season.
This year, according to coach Amy Sutton, the Lady 'Dores will once again be a well-balanced squad with every player expected to pull their own weight. (October 29, 2010, Page 7A)
Isom named All-State
Lafayette senior standout Shaq Isom has been named to the 2010 All-State Volleyball Tournament Team for Class 1. (more…) (October 20, 2010, Page 10)
LHS drops emotional North Half title match
The Lafayette Lady Commodores had a lot on their mind during Thursday's match at Lewisburg. Having fallen to the Lady Patriots twice during the regular season, and with a second-straight trip to Jackson for the state tournament on the line, the Lady 'Dores played an emotional first game.
Eventually, however, the momentum swung in Lewisburg's favor and the Lady Commodores were never able to recover, dropping the match 3-1 (15-25, 25-19, 25-15, 25-16). (October 8, 2010, Page 7A)
Win propels Lafayette to North Half
There have been a slew of matches recently where the Lafayette Lady Commodores volleyball team was able to cruise to victory.
While Lafayette still defeated Ackerman 3-0 (25-20, 25-17, 25-16) at home to advance to the third round of the Class 1 playoffs, Tuesday's victory was not one of those matches. (October 6, 2010, Page 9)
Lewisburg eliminates LHS from playoffs
The Lafayette Lady Commodores will not be making a second-straight run at a state title.
With a return trip to Jackson on the line, the Lady 'Dores were unable to knock off Region 2 leading Lewisburg, falling at home 3-0 (25-21, 25-19, 25-19) on Tuesday. (September 22, 2010, Page 6)
Byhalia no match for Isom, Lafayette
Byhalia head coach Stacy Filocco couldn't help but smile during Tuesday's match at Lafayette as Shaq Isom repeatedly buried stray passes from her overmatched players at the net.
"She was very aggressive at the net. We kept feeding her balls and she was putting them away," Filocco said matter-of-factly following Lafayette's 3-0 (25-10, 25-12, 25-9) victory at the LHS gym. (September 15, 2010, Page 9)
Lady 'Dores knock off WVHS
A complete team effort proved to be the key to a 3-0 (25-9, 25-18, 25-6) win for the Lafayette Lady Commodores over the Water Valley Lady Blue Devils Tuesday.
A day after LHS defeated Senatobia to win its first district match of the season, the team turned around Tuesday and recorded another important district win over WVHS. LHS topped Senatobia 3-0 on Monday and then handled Water Valley with the use of a solid service game and aggressive kill shots.
For LHS coach Rachel Wenzel, playing back-to-back days was a good thing because her team will have to play three matches on Saturday in the Tupelo Volleyfest. (August 25, 2010, Page 9)
LHS volleyballers gearing up for another run at State
If experience breeds confidence, the Lafayette Lady Commodores volleyball squad has nothing to worry about in 2010.
When Lafayette hits the court today at Tupelo for its season opener, its roster will be overflowing with both, confidence and experience.
Less than a year removed from the playing Center Hill in the Class 4A state championship match, the Lady Commodores will accept nothing less than another shot at bringing home a title.
And with a squad that boasts six seniors, second-year head coach Rachel Wenzel likes her team's chances. (August 10, 2010, Page 7)

The Ruby in Her navel is a historical novel by Barry Unsworth first published in 2006. It was long listed for the Booker Prize that year.[1]
The story is set in 12th century Sicily and is centered around the Christianization of the Norman kingdom of Sicily under King Roger II. The book is narrated by Thurstan Beauchamp, a young man of English-Norman origins and describes Sicilian life through his eyes. All the good elements of a novel are contained in it: mystery, love, passion, betrayal, and revenge, but the novel's description of life in 12th century Sicily and its resonance to our own times that makes the novel especially interesting. Writing in the Guardian, John Julius Norwich said that the novel made him feel what it felt like to live, work and travel in the Sicily of that time.[1] Jason Goodwin in The New York Times Book Review points to the contemporary resonance of the story, set as it is in the brief time that Normans, Byzantines, Greeks, Muslims, and Jews lived together in relative harmony. The harmony did not work, says Goodwin and "we glimpse the fragile nature of the Sicilian compact — and the gloomy inevitability of the civil conflict that lies ahead".[2]

Grasscloth wallcovering is an environmentally friendly way to add natural texture and beauty to a wide variety of design themes. Made from several Asian grasses, and fibers, grasscloth is relatively easy to apply, and maintain. Because many grasscloth varieties hide the holes left by thumbtacks, and picture hooks, it is often used in commercial, as well as, residential, settings. Grasscloth wallcovering is unpasted, and a heavy duty clear wallcovering adhesive is recommended. This type of adhesive has the tack to hold the somewhat heavy, and bulky, grasscloth wallcovering. Try to avoid getting adhesive on the front surface of grasscloth wallcovering; unwanted adhesive, when recently applied, can be cleaned with a damp sponge. A snap blade knife, with multiple cutting edges, is the recommended cutting tool; a freshly snapped edge should be used for each strip hung, as grasscloth will tend to quickly dull the cutting edge. The seams between strips of grasscloth will generally be visible, so care should be taken to hang the strips a true vertical.

Ice Sound Manager was designed to ease the management of sound events, sound themes, and the IceSound server in the IceWM window manager. It is also intended to be an improvement upon the noble but primitive icesndcfg. The main improvements over icesndcfg include a support for sound event "themes", more comprehensive help, easy management and configuration of the IceSound server, a cleaner GUI interface, automatic starting of the IceSound server, and a more conservative approach to disk space usage.
IceWM Control Panel is a full-featured, GTK-based control panel for IceWM. It features an IceWM theme designer, Ice Sound Manager (for sound events), IcePref2, and tools to manage desktop wallpaper, cursors, keys, window options, and more. IceWM Control Panel has a familiar, Windows-like Control Panel user interface.

Shadowgun gets Retina support on new iPad, now $2.99
Shadowgun (TMA Review), one of the best third person shooters on iOS, has just been updated to support the new iPad's 2048×1536 resolution. Not only does it get a nice bump up in res count, but it also gets 4x MSAA Anti Aliasing without sacrificing on performance. As such, the visuals will look even more stunning on the latest iPad. Meanwhile for other iDevice owners, this splendid shooter has received some minor bug fixes to improve upon the overall experience. The update is free for those who've already purchased the game, otherwise, Shadowgun can now be had for only $2.99 (down from $4.99).
MADFINGER, SHADOWGUN (TMA Review) – $2.99
Shadowgun in Review – An FPS For Players Like Me
I've been playing electronic games for a long time, but it's really taken me until my iPod Touch to appreciate what the first / third person shooter genre had to offer. Up until now my favorites have been Dead Space (TMA Review) and Modern Combat: Sandstorm (TMA Review), but now I'm adding Shadowgun to that list (I just haven't figured out where yet). There's enough depth to keep the game interesting, and at the same time it's simple enough that people like me who aren't very good at FPS games can still enjoy it. Don't get me wrong – even on the easy setting I still repeat my share of sections before getting them right. It's just that it's not all that bad having to do so.
10 New App Store Games To Watch [Sep. 26 - Oct. 2]
If you're an FPS fan, or you're curious to see what your little mobile device can do, then the week's top pick is certainly Shadowgun. The initial release was a bit rocky, but now that the first update has been released, the game packs quite a punch – and it's even fairly friendly for those that have never played an FPS. On a completely different front there's Phonect, which is actually an engine rather than a game. It allows your iDevice to detect your hand movements and translate them to in-game actions, and while the initial game using this technology looks kind of ho-hum, the potential gaming possibilities this opens up are what excites me.

As of 2007, the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Company was still manufacturing the CJ-6G, a modernized version featuring such improvements as increased power, a strengthened fuselage structure, bigger fuel tanks, and other modifications.
Built under license in China, the basic Yak-18 was known as the Nanchang CJ-5. Produced at the Nanchang Aircraft Factory from 1954 through 1958, the design showed deficiencies for jet pilot training that led the Chinese to independently revise the basic Yak-18 design to feature a retractable undercarriage, with the main gear folding inward toward the fuselage, and the nose wheel retracting backward into the fuselage. The wings were revised to have prominent dihedral, but, like the Soviet Yak-18A redesign, the CJ-6 retained the 145hp M-11ER radial engine with similarly disappointing results when it first flew in 1958. Revised power, in the form of an Ivchenko AI-14R engine, didn't solve the problem, which called for further redesign of the aircraft. Finally, in 1961, an improved CJ-6A gained approval and was produced beginning in 1962 using a 285hp Quzhou Huosai HS6A engine. More than 1,800 CJ-6As were produced, including those exported to nations such as Albania, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Tanzania and Zambia under the designation BT-6. An armed version, the CJ-6B, was produced between 1964 and 1966, equipped with a 300-hp HS-6D engine, according to some sources.

Olfactory Shifts Parallel Superspecialism for Toxic Fruit in Drosophila melanogaster Sibling, D. sechellia

Olfaction in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is increasingly understood, from ligand-receptor-neuron combinations [1,2,3,4] to their axonal projection patterns into the antennal lobe [5,6]. Drosophila thus offers an excellent opportunity to study the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of olfactory systems. We compared the structure and function of the generalist D. melanogaster with that of specialist D. sechellia, which oviposits exclusively on morinda fruit [7]. Our analyses show that whereas the fruit's headspace was dominated by acids, antennae responded most strongly to hexanoates. D. sechellia exhibited an extraordinarily strong response to methyl hexanoate (MeHex). Behaviorally, D. sechellia was much more attracted to these morinda fruit volatiles than was D. melanogaster. The high sensitivity to MeHex was paralleled by a 2.5×–3× overrepresentation of MeHex neurons on the antenna and a concordant 2.9× increase in volume of the corresponding glomerulus as compared to D. melanogaster. In addition, the MeHex neuron exhibited an extreme sensitivity down to femtograms of its ligand. In contrast, no peripherally mediated shift was found paralleling D. sechellia's increased attraction to acids. These findings are a demonstration of evolution acting at several levels in the olfactory circuitry in mediating a fruit fly's unique preference for fruit toxic to its sibling species [8,9,10].

About This Data
ProPublica obtained prescribing data from Medicare's prescription drug benefit, known as Part D, under the Freedom of Information Act. The data for 2011 includes nearly 1.2 billion prescriptions written by 1.6 million doctors, nurses and other providers. This database lists about 364,000 of those providers who wrote 50 or more prescriptions for at least one drug that year. About three-fourths went to patients 65 and older; the rest were for disabled patients. Methodology »
- No comparisons are shown if 10 or fewer prescribers in the state share this specialty.
- The list of top drugs includes only those for which this provider wrote 50 or more prescriptions, but all prescriptions are counted in the summary totals at the top.
- The calculation of "Risky Drugs to Seniors" does not include drugs for which a provider wrote 11 or fewer prescriptions because Medicare redacted the information to protect patient privacy.
- Comparisons do not take into account the medical conditions of patients. Medications for certain conditions do not have generic alternatives, so patients would receive more expensive brand name drugs.
- This provider's address and specialty information was last updated on May 7, 2008.
Incorrect Info?
If you are a provider and you believe your address is incorrect, check the listing you created on the National Provider Identifier registry. If you change your listing, send a note to email@example.com and we will update your information. If you have other questions about this data, send a note to email@example.com.

Or Debian Testing or Unstable for newer versions of some packages. Been doing that successfully since about 2001 IIRC so I wouldn't call it a work around. But I guess it matters less which distribution one uses but more that one understands how the distributions package selection and upgrade process works.
