The most recent edition of WIRED Magazine is absolutely filled with EcoGeeky stuff. The cover story is look there buy generic levitra online about switch grass biofuels, there's a story on the death and http://www.asian-americans.com/levitra-no-doctor rebirth of environmentalis, and it seems like every other ad (be it from GM or Chevron) is about the environment.
But probably my favorite part of the whole magazine is this fantastically intricate flowchart of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, their original companies, and the companies they invest in now. It's available online as a PDF, so you don't even have to viagra online store go out to get your copy. But if you are interested in wasting some paper, there isn't a better hardcopy magazine out there this month than WIRED.

Conjunctiva is a thin transparent membrane that lines the eyeball and eyelid. Inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva leads to conjunctivitis.
Conjunctivitis appears as a pink eye with discharge and itching in the eye. The most common cause of conjunctivitis is a viral infection. Other causes of conjunctivitis are a bacterial infection, allergic reactions and opthalmia neonatorum (conjunctivitis seen in the newborns).
Treatment :- Treatment consists basically of cleaning the eyes and preventing the condition from spreading. Each eye should be cleaned with a clean, wet cotton separately moving the cotton in one direction only (either from left to right or right to left).
Non-prescription eye drops are needed for viral conjunctivitis. Antibiotic eye drops are required for bacterial conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis require steroid eye drops. However, do not use them without consulting your doctor.
If your condition does not improve within 3 days, consult your doctor.
To prevent spread of infection to other people in the household, the following measures are required:-
The child with conjunctivitis will have to be kept away from school for a few days to prevent spread of infection to other children in school.

Now that 4.2 has arrived the Nexus 7 doesn't seem to have an option for Miracast, it seems that only the Nexus 4 was blessed with this option. It isn't clear whether the Nexus 7 will get Miracast with a future update or not so I would hold off on buying an adapter unless you have a Nexus 4 you want to use it with.

Halloween Safety is a Priority for Montgomery Co. Deputies Tonight I rode along with a lieutenant of the Montgomery Sheriff's Co. Office and witnessed everything they do on Halloween to keep the streets safe.
Halloween is a time for candy, costumes, and fun. But it can also be a very dangerous time.
"We have more children on the street than usual in the neighborhoods. With the dark skies, kids are running to and from different houses. Sometimes their costumes, they may be a dark costume and we have the vehicles traveling through the neighborhoods for people coming home. So that is a concern." All of these dangers make patrolling the streets on October 31st a rigorous task. Lieutenant Scott Cone does everything from stopping drunk drivers to escorting children. He says safety is his biggest concern. "Sheriff Marshal and Chief Cunningham are big advocates of the safety of children and for us to go out there and be seen. And everybody have a good time." The potential danger of going door to door has many families choosing to spend Halloween 'trunk or treating' instead. "Everyone comes out. It's a very Christian environment and very safe environment. Kids are allowed to enjoy themselves altogether, fellowship with one another" says trunk or treater Leon Allen. Lieutenant Cone says police will be out here all night patrolling the area and working to keep you safe. |

By: Scott email@example.com Sioux City man has been a Meals On Wheels volunteer for almost a decade. As you know, during that time gas prices have skyrocketed. But through it all he has never been reimbursed for his fuel. That is until now.That man is Richard Akins and after all he's done for this community, he's getting a little something in return. Richard retired around eight years ago and since then he's volunteered for Meals On Wheels.
He delivers up to 100 meals every week and finds it very rewarding. Richard says, "I get to know the people and I get to know their pets. The people are receptive to it, they're thankful, because most of them are shut–ins and can't get out."
But that racks up the miles quickly – around 500 miles each month. And with all of that driving comes the gas bills. So Richard's friends entered him in the "Tanks of Thanks" program and he won a $50 gift card. Richard was ecstatic, saying, "I was quite excited, I didn't even know of the program until I received the letter with the gift card accompanying it."
The gift card will help Richard keep delivering meals - and smiles - this year. And if you know someone who deserves a free tank of gas, you can also sign them up for the "Tanks of Thanks" program. It's run through Cenex gas stations and each month, 100 names are drawn from a nationwide pool of entries. A manager I spoke with says fifteen people in Sioux City have won since the program was introduced last year. The program is intended to recognize those, like Richard, who give back to the community.Visit http://withyou.cenex.com/tanks-of-thanks/ and click the "Nominate Now" button. You'll then be able to enter the information of whom you wish to enter in the contest along with a photo.

Tiny MCE Code Strip 2.3.3
6 October 2009 at 5:47am
I am having an issue, or should I say have been having an issue with silverstripe not letting me put any kind of code into the individual pages.
I need to have the ability to do some basic javascript and other things on individual pages such as set parameters etc. on flash files but it strips everything

I would also like to be able to do includes at the editing level e.g.
<% include packages %>any help would be greatly appreciated
Re: Tiny MCE Code Strip 2.3.3
14 October 2009 at 4:30am
Generally you should be adding custom javascript via a template or using a separate file that gets included.
However if you are certain you want to be using TinyMCE to input javascript you'll have to set some options to stop it from stripping elements. The editor in the CMS is controlled via PHP calls in your _config.php file:
For Javascript you'll want to add something like this to extended_valid_elements
There are many more options you can work with, see the TinyMCE docs:
http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Configuration/valid_elementsYou might want to be very thorough and set invalid_elements to nothing.
PS. This is a pretty common question, it is covered in many topics you can find via the Search. If you get this to work to your satisfaction please let us know in here and I will be sure to add it to the wiki.

Hi Dalesaurus,
I'm, using SS 2.3.7 - Adding script[language|type|src] to the extended_valid_elements found in cms\_config.php seemed to do the trick for me.

Weird Research, Anomalous Physics |
In the "Cook Coil" above, the core is made of thin ferrous rods. Thin steel, particularly steel foil or guitar strings, exhibits enormous "Barkhausen Effect" and will produce large fast quantum-mechanical domain- switch pulses when driven with a low frequency b-field. If the two coils of the Cook device behave as resonators of two different frequencies, and if the two cores happen to be at different temperatures, then perhaps the slow b-field couples to both the the Bark. pulses and fast b-field, and creates a thermoelectric oscillator: a heat-to-electricity engine. The fast coil's resonant frequency would need to be chosen to be near the time delay of domain wall motion through the piece of steel.

Allergies Q & A- Nut Allergies, EpiPens, Dating with Allergies, & More!
Food allergens can be transferred through saliva. There are reports of allergic people experiencing symptoms after kissing. A study conducted a few years ago by Jennifer Maloney, MD, and colleagues backs this up. It showed that soon after eating peanut butter, salivary levels of peanut protein were high enough in some to cause a reaction. The same study found that some mouth-cleaning methods, like tooth brushing and using mouthwash, didnt completely get rid of the peanut allergen.
Research Roundup: Celiac Cure, Beneficial Bacteria, and More!
Archaeologists in Tuscany, Italy, found the remains of a first century AD teenager who may have had celiac disease. The teen, a female, appeared severely malnourished and showed other signs suggestive of celiac disease: short stature, osteoporosis, dental enamel defects and cribra orbitalia, a bone condition that researchers think may be an indirect sign of anemia. Food scarcity was unlikely since the overall quality of the teens tomb, as well as her jewels, indicate she came from a wealthy family.

- Why I picked it up: Dystopia, gender issues
- Disclosure: Library (no compensation from author or publisher)
2097 is a transformed world. Thirty years earlier, a mysterious plague wiped out 97 percent of the male population, devastating every world system from governments to sports teams, and causing both universal and unimaginable grief. In the face of such massive despair, women were forced to take over control of the planet--and in doing so they eliminated all of Earth's most pressing issues. Poverty, crime, warfare, hunger . . . all gone.What is it with books disappointing me lately? Maybe I'm letting my expectations get too high. But seriously. Is it too much to ask that when an author ends up with a concept like this, they don't mess it up? O_o Fighting words, I know. And it sounds like this author actually makes a living from his writing, which ALWAYS impresses me. Clearly he's got a work ethic.
But there's a price to pay for this new "utopia," which fourteen-year-old Kellen is all too familiar with. Every day, he deals with life as part of a tiny minority that is purposefully kept subservient and small in numbers. His career choices and relationship options are severely limited and controlled. He also lives under the threat of scattered recurrences of the plague, which seem to pop up wherever small pockets of men begin to regroup and grow in numbers.
And then one day, his mother's boss, an iconic political figure, shows up at his home. Kellen overhears something he shouldn't--another outbreak seems to be headed for Afterlight, the rural community where his father and a small group of men live separately from the female-dominated society. Along with a few other suspicious events, like the mysterious disappearances of Kellen's progressive teacher and his Aunt Paige, Kellen is starting to wonder whether the plague recurrences are even accidental. No matter what the truth is, Kellen cares only about one thing--he has to save his father.
And yet. Considering the amount of positive reviews I'd read for this book, the writing was shockingly clumsy. There were vast amounts of cliches, you could see "the big twist" coming from miles away, and the gender roles were handled with all the sensitivity of a stampeding elephant. It's possible I was spoiled by The Handmaid's Tale, but come on. This was no dystopia. In fact, there didn't seem to be anything different from our everyday world. Yes, we were told 97% of the males were dead, but you wouldn't have known it from the characters.
First off, I don't think a primarily female society would be a utopia. Trust me, I am a girl. I have two sisters, as well as best friends that pretty much count as my sisters. We are all mature, wonderful, lovely human beings, I think, but trying to make us work together is like herding cats. Yes, perhaps we would have less global warming, etc., but we'd still be messed up as a species. So when everything was so perfect, I had a problem. And the whole junkyarddog.bites bloggy thing? I wasn't buying that. That's not how real people blog. The worst offender by far, though, was the fake epitaph thing at the beginning of every chapter. There wasn't a single one that I felt added anything at all to the story. All they added was a mega cheese factor, and there is very little I hate more than gratuitous cheese. Avatar, of course you are exempt from the no-cheese rule, because Pandora rocked. I wanted to live there. But this book had no amazing setting to compensate. (Of course stuff like Doctor Who and Buffy the Vampire Slayer is exempt too, because there the cheese is intentional.)
Going back to The Handmaid's Tale, I really think that the only way to truly tell a gender roles story that's not about little kids (if anyone could actually pull off a gender roles story about little kids I'd like to read it) is to bring sex into it. Just putting that out there right now. While certainly delving into *crimes against women* a fair bit, this book didn't cover that. I'm sorry, but a fourteen-year-old guy as your MC and you don't cover that??? Fourteen-year-old guys are second only to fifteen and sixteen and seventeen-year-old guys as far as that stuff goes. I'm just not seeing it. I also highly doubt that women would be willing to swear off heterosexual relationships. Sorry, but this kind of played into the stereotype that women have no innate sexuality, and that bothered me.
I just realized that I have not said a single positive thing about this book this entire review. That's because there really wasn't that much good to say. There were a few things I enjoyed, concept-wise, but writing wise I despised it. It seems more like a career move cashing in on dystopia than anything else. Whether that's what's in the author's mind or not, I just wish that he had done a better job with this fantastic idea.
The Final Verdict: Intriguing concept, but the book's not worth your time unless you are a truly hardcore dystopia fan that can't pass it up. Sloppy writing and poor character development make for a story that's no fun to spend time with. Two out of five stars.

APA member shoots a fun project for Canon.
Last Tuesday night October 8th. APA member Robyn Lehr and local photographer Erin Kunkel work was displayed at the Canon Pixma printer event in San Francisco. Both Robyn and Erin were asked to photographically capture four different senses, smell, touch, sound, taste, that inspire the wine country.
Their final photographs were printed and framed. Then displayed in darken rooms, where attendees of the event would sample four different sensory objects (the touch of soil, the taste of grapes, the sound of a breeze, and the smell of a cork) that was used as the main source of inspiration for their images. Then the lights were turn on and the people could view Robyn and Erin's creations.
They both had creative freedom to create what they felt convey the process of making wine and being in the wine making region. This whole event was tied together with the introduction of Taylor Florence's new wine label.
Robyn's thoughts of the project were.
"I was thrilled when Grey Group and Canon chose me for this project inspired by the wine country. They asked for about 36 images, 9 per category to edit from. Beyond that we were given complete creative freedom to follow our own ideas... and, of course, a week to do it all in. I wrote down everything that came to mind while handling the sensory objects and then tried to organize my list into a possible shot list. Obviously, I would find some vineyards to shoot on location but I also needed to another idea to keep the images fresh and to avoid redundancy... a food shoot seemed like the best choice for me. As I refined my ideas, I thought about color palette and textures. I decided to use more texture and a darker palette for the categories of Touch and Smell and a softer and lighter palette for Hear and Taste. I felt it was a great way to vary my images while still telling the whole story. "

Wayne Miller 1918-2013
Photographer Wayne F. Miller, who helped revolutionize documentary photography and lead the movement to renew California's forests, died today, May 22, 2013 at age 94.
Mr. Miller, born in Chicago, Illinois in 1918, began his career over the Pacific, shooting photographs of the Pacific combat theater during World War II, having been hand selected by Capt. Edward Steichen for his elite naval combat photographic unit that documented the war effort.
One of Mr. Miller's most recognized photographs from the war shows a wounded pilot being pulled from his fighter plane. By tragic coincidence, Mr. Miller had been scheduled for the flight and the photographer who had taken his place was shot and killed while documenting the firefight. While Mr. Miller's war photography documented soldiers both at ease and in combat, tragedy dominated.
Mr. Miller was one of the first to arrive at Hiroshima to document the devastation left by the atomic blast. Mr. Miller throughout his life kept a piece of the rubble, a Japanese teacup into which glass had melted, at the doorway to his darkroom as a memorial.
After the war, Mr. Miller celebrated life by finding it on Chicago's South Side. The predominantly African American community settled partly by former sharecroppers from Mississippi and Georgia invited Mr. Miller into their homes and their lives. The Guggenheim Foundation awarded him two fellowships to photograph the community between 1946 and 1948. While these photographs included celebrities like Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Eartha Kitt in their early careers, most of the photographs were of ordinary people in ordinary settings.
He then picked up his growing family and with his wife, Joan, moved west to California on the encouragement of fellow documentary photographer Dorothea Lange. Mr. Miller and Joan settled in Orinda, California, and Mr. Miller's Orinda studio became a gathering spot for iconic photographers of the day, including Lange and Steichen.
Mr. Miller and Steichen worked together until Steichen's death in 1973, also at the age of 94. Steichen, and Mr. Miller as his assistant, embarked on the Family of Man project in 1953, a collection of images of humanity from around the globe, in response to World War II. Steichen, then the curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art, sought a photographic representation of the similarities among people. They sorted through nearly 2 million photographs before selecting 503 images from 273 photographers in 68 countries. The exhibit opened in the Museum of Modern Art in 1955 and traveled the world. The exhibit was turned into a book by the same name and has sold 4 million copies.
The exhibit and book included several personal pictures by Mr. Miller, including a portrait of his daughter, Jeanette, and an image of the birth of his son David being delivered by Mr. Miller's father. The image, features a towering umbilical cord as the surgeon grandfather lifted the newborn upside down by the leg.
For the next several decades, Mr. Miller traveled for Life Magazine, Ebony, News Week, Saturday Evening Post, National Geographic, and other magazines of the time. Other projects included a collaboration with Dr. Benjamin Spock and John B. Reinhart on the book "A Baby's First Year" and Mr. Miller's own book, "The World is Young."
In the mid-1970's, Mr. Miller retired the camera professionally to pursue a passion for California's redwood forests. Mr. Miller and Joan themselves owned a small patch of forest land in Mendocino County they had bought when nearly bare, clear-cut land and had watched the trees regenerate with their stewardship. As a landowner, Mr. Miller became aware of tax laws that encouraged clear cutting. In response, he spearheaded an effort to eliminate those laws and regulations that inadvertently penalized forest owners for keeping trees as a founding member of the Forest Landowners of California. The group's work resulted in major changes that led to creation of sustainable regulations for forest management for California forest land that remain in place today. Mr. Miller's own forest land continues to serve as an example of sustainable logging practices.
Among the only photographs Mr. Miller made after his retirement were those documenting the growth of his redwood forest. He had photographed his wife, Joan, standing on the clear cut property in 1958 surrounded by large stretches of bare soil, eroded slopes, and scattered remaining trees. In 1998, Joan stood in the same spot with a continuous, verdant redwood forest in the background. Mr. Miller is also survived by his four children, Jeanette Miller, David Miller, Dana Blencowe, and Peter Miller, nine grandchildren and one great grandchild with another on the way.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) yesterday announced a joint Program Announcement (PA) encouraging research that addresses a critical priority for the quality of U.S. health care: the translation of research findings into improved quality, patient safety, and health care outcomes.
The challenge of translating evidence-based practices into measurable improvements in care has been clearly described by the Institute of Medicine and other health care leaders. Research supported under this announcement will build on work currently underway to provide essential information to health care decision makers regarding implementation of evidence-based improvements in care. The PA that describes this priority is titled "Translating Research into Practice—Joint Program Announcement," published in the February 22 NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Click here to see the Program Announcement.
Because the challenge of translating research into practice confronts all health care organizations, this PA is an unprecedented collaboration between AHRQ and the VA to encourage evaluation of improvement strategies that can be broadly replicated.

Singapore Math expert Ngan Hoe Lee, PhD, brings a unique perspective to St. Ambrose.
As I reflect on the last year and look forward to the coming year (as all good NBCTs must do), the word "renew" came to my mind.
The School of Education graduate programs moved in January from 35th Street to 1310 W. Pleasant Street. The building, at Pleasant and Marquette streets in Davenport, is shared with the Master of Speech-Language Pathology program.
An archaic means of submitting work for NBCT is now replaced with several clicks of the mouse.
Just a few short months ago, 11 students graduated from the Master of Education in Teaching program.

Published: Nov. 26, 2008
Updated: Nov. 26, 2008
I often see children that I suspect have ear infections (otitis media). The parents of the child have many questions -- what are ear infections? Why do they happen?
Ear infections typically occur between the ages of six months and two years of life, but they can happen at any age. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, 75 percent of all children have at least one ear infection by the time they are three years old.
These infections are most frequently associated with pain, fever, and sleep disturbances but can also lead to behavior problems and speech issues if associated with hearing loss due to persistent fluid in the ear. Dr. Martha Snyder, a primary care pediatrician at Duke, tells us what they are and how they happen.
-- Dennis Clements MD, PhD, MPH
The ear is composed of three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.
The outer ear is the space from the ear drum (tympanic membrane) to the outside of the ear. When this canal gets infected it is called swimmer's ear or otitis externa. The middle ear is the air-filled space behind the ear drum. When the middle ear gets infected it is commonly called an ear infection or acute otitis media. The inner ear is where the hearing and balance organs are located.
The Eustachian tube is the passage from your middle ear to your throat. It is usually closed but opens regularly to ventilate the middle ear. In children this tube is shorter, floppier, and more horizontal; this makes the middle ear more prone to retain fluid.
As you grow this tube becomes longer and angled, making the middle ear less likely to retain the fluid that is required for viral or bacterial growth.
You cannot catch an ear infection from other people, but you can catch the cold that can lead to the fluid accumulation that makes a person more prone to an ear infection.
Ear infections generally start as a viral upper respiratory infection that causes fluid to build up in the middle ear space. However, dysfunction or swelling of the Eustachian tube can also lead to fluid accumulation as can blocking of the Eustachian tube by enlarged adenoid tissue.
An infection then occurs when a germ, either a virus or bacteria, invades the fluid and begins to multiply unchecked by the body defenses. A virus cannot be treated by an antibiotic, but bacteria can be treated by an antibiotic. Both types of infection can cause pain and/or fever. About 60 percent of all ear infections are believed to be bacterial and 40 percent are believed to be viral.
The bacteria most commonly associated with ear infections are:
Of note, about 15 percent of these bacteria are now believed to be resistant to the first-choice antibiotics.
The viruses most commonly associated with ear infections are:
Your child may have an ear infection if he or she shows these symptoms:
Your child's doctor will need to look at your child's ear in order to determine what treatment is needed. In the office the doctor will use an otoscope (a specialized flashlight) to look at the ear drum (tympanic membrane).
The doctor may also use pneumatic otoscopy, which is when a gentle puff of air is blown at the ear drum in order to determine if there is fluid in the middle ear. Normally the ear drum will move back and forth, but fluid will cause the ear drum not to move.
Occasionally, you may see an instrument called a tympanometer used, which also checks for movement of the ear drum. A soft ear plug is inserted into the opening of the ear. The plug includes a device that changes air pressure inside the ear.
None of these methods are painful, but the instruments can look intimidating to your child.
What is seen in the ear will determine what line of treatment will be recommended. If there is only fluid (effusion) that is not infected you may be told to watch your child over the next few days for signs of the fluid becoming infected. Your child's doctor will also closely monitor the duration of this fluid and assess if your child is at high risk for hearing and/or speech issues.
If there is an infection present, but it is suspected to be viral, your doctor may recommend medications for pain and fever control only. If the infection looks bacterial (this means that there is pus behind the ear drum) then an antibiotic may be prescribed in addition to fever and pain controlling medications. Typically a bacterial ear infection will start to improve after being on an antibiotic for 24 to 72 hours.
It is very important to finish the antibiotic for the number of days prescribed by your child's doctor. Keep in mind that about 80 percent of all ear infections will improve without antibiotics if given time according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practitioners.
With young children, you can expect that the doctor will want to re-evaluate your child's ear again in three to four weeks.
If your child experiences recurrent ear infections, retains chronic fluid in the ear, or experiences hearing loss, your child's doctor may refer your child to an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. In certain situations, the ENT will recommend the placement of ear tubes (tympanostomy tubes) and/or removal of the adenoid tissue (adenoidectomy).
The best way to prevent ear infections is to do things to decrease the chances of building up fluid in the middle ear.
Take heart -- ear infections are a common infection that children typically grow out of sooner or later.

BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20130417T000000 DTEND:20130417T010000 LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Oklahoma City Community College (7777 S. May, Oklahoma City, OK) DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:
Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) invites all local area residents to donate blood this April at the upcoming blood drive hosted by Oklahoma City Community College. The blood drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday, April 16 and Wednesday, April 17 at the GDA on 7777 S. May Avenue.
By donating blood, donors can feel good about helping to save someone else's life. As an added bonus, all blood donors will receive an OBI T-shirt, free health screenings and Donor Reward Points. However, if blood donors choose to forgo the donor appreciation item, funds designated for this item will be directed to our partnering organization, Global Blood Fund (GBF). Global Blood Fund and Oklahoma Blood Institute both share a common goal, to make blood available to those in need.
Of those eligible to donate blood in the U.S., only about ten percent actually do, despite the quick and beneficial donation process. Giving blood only takes about an hour and one single donation can save up to three different lives. All healthy adults, 16 years and older* are encouraged to make blood donations. Donations can be made every 56 days.
One in every seven people entering a hospital will need blood and every two seconds someone is in need of blood. Since there is no substitute for human blood, supplies must constantly be renewed. Although those with O-negative type blood are strongly encouraged to donate, Oklahoma Blood Institute welcomes all donor participation in the Oklahoma City Community College blood drive.
Oklahoma Blood Institute manages the life-saving donations from more than 209,000 individuals each year and is the ninth largest, non-profit blood center in America. For more information or to make an appointment, contact Oklahoma Blood Institute at 877-340-8777 or visit us at www.obi.org.
* 16 year olds must weigh at least 125 and provide signed parental permission, 17 year olds must weigh at least 125 pounds, 18+ year olds must weigh at least 110 pounds.

ALLMAX introduces L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT), one of the world's most bio-available forms of L-Carnitine supplementation.
Stimulant-Free Fat Metabolizer: L-Carnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fats into the cell (mitochondria). L-Carnitine taps into your fat supply and may provide support to burn it as fuel, resulting in increased energy. Without L-Carnitine, these fats cannot be burned for energy and are instead shunted to stored body fat.
Boost Energy, Endurance & Performance: L-Carnitine enhances performance by increasing the body's reliance on fat for energy; this reduces depletion of muscle glycogen. By reducing muscle tissue lactic acid build-up, performance athletes using L-Carnitine can extend duration of muscular exertion before fatigue.
ALLMAX L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT) provides 120 full servings per bottle while delivering 500 mg of L-Carnitine in each serving.
Amount Per Serving | % Daily Value | |
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (supplying 500 mg L-Carnitine) | 735 mg | * |
Vitamin B5 (as D-Pantothenic Acid) | 10 mg | 100% |

A man was arrested for what appears to be an attempted robbery in Cape Girardeau.
Cape Girardeau Police Officer Darin Hickey identifies the suspect as 21-year-old Justin Patterson.
Patterson told police he is homeless.
A witness says he was walking near Themis & Silver Springs Road over the weekend when someone matching Patterson's description pulled up and told him to get in his car.
The suspect threatened the victim with a knife and told him to hand over some personal belongings.
He then let the suspect go near Quizno's on William, but never actually took anything.
An officer later arrested Patterson at the police station. Officer Hickey says Patterson had been taken in for another offense.
He was in jail on $75,000 bond.
Patterson is also charged with robbery, armed criminal action and felonious restraint.
