The Titans probably offered the league minimum. I don't really understand Gage's camp playing hardball. I might understand if the Titans were just looking for a stop gap for a few weeks, but with 13 games remaining and a key receiver out for the season, I think Gage should've taken what he was offered. It was a golden opportunity, not to mention, it will probably be his only opportunity to play this season.
PapaTitan keeps it real.

Andrew Murray of Columbia, who is creative in removing trees, is creative in other ways as well.
Murray, who is the owner of Sand Lake Tree, is also an inventor. He has created a stove that he says can produce more heat using less wood.
A patent for Murray's stove is pending with the U.S. Patent Trade Office. If the stove takes off, it could make square stoves obsolete, says Murray, who had a table at the Winter Big Boy Toy Show over the weekend at the Ramkota Hotel in Aberdeen.
Murray plans to sell his cylindrical stove through his other company, which he calls Round For a Reason.
Murray, 35, has built a prototype of the stove. The key to its success, he says, is the gap between the baffle and the firebox.
The stove can heat his home for about four hours using three pieces of scrap lumber, he said. It is also safer than a square stove, he said, because users have less chance of a chimney fire.
He calls his indoor wood furnace model the Dakota Stove. It can be adapted to burn cherry pits, rye and switch grass pellets.
Murray, who lives north of Columbia, has operated Sand Lake Tree for 11 years. That company specializes in tree removal and disposal.
Everything but holes
An ice house being sold at the Winter Big Boy Toy Show on Sunday came complete with everything but holes.
The person who buys the ice house gets to pick where the holes go. Jamie Pulfrey, who was selling the fancy shack, said it could easily accommodate six holes.
The Ridgeline ice house is actually an enclosed aluminum trailer. Six feet wide and 12 feet long, it can be lowered to ice level.
The house has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $8,299. Pulfrey, whose business is at Mina Lake, posted a lower price in effect only during the Big Boy Toy Show.
It was one of three items that Pulfrey had on hand. He also displayed a jet ski lift and a dock.
Ticket sales going well
The Disabled American Veterans were having good success selling raffle tickets Sunday at the Winter Big Boy Toy Show. By mid-afternoon Sunday, Shelley and Allan Ochsner had already sold 12 tickets. The day before, the group had sold six.
Chapter 13 of DAV is raffling off two shotguns — one 12 gauge and the other 20 gauge. Proceeds will benefit the Veteran Transportation Fund and Camp Gilbert.
The Ochsners have no doubt that all 640 tickets will be sold. The group will have a table at Brown County Speedway races this summer and the Brown County Fair. The drawing will take place in October at the annual Veterans Pheasant Hunt.
The Ochsners were assisted by Greg Booker. Volunteers are needed to drive the Disabled American Veterans van to Sioux Falls, they said. If you can help, call 605-228-4179.

Los Angeles • AT&T Inc. is bowing out of its $39 billion bid to buy smaller wireless provider T-Mobile USA after the U.S. government raised concerns that it would raise prices, reduce innovation and give customers fewer choices.
Monday's announcement came as little surprise after the Justice Department sued on Aug. 31 to block the merger. The deal looked further in jeopardy when the Federal Communications Commission's chairman also came out against it. The companies withdrew their FCC application last month.
Join the Discussion | |
Post a Comment |
Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett said the announcement was "a bit of an anticlimax. This is like receiving the divorce papers for a couple that's been separated for years."
AT&T's purchase of T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom of Germany, announced in March, would have made it the largest cellphone company in the U.S. AT&T is the second-largest wireless carrier behind Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile is fourth.
AT&T will now have to pay Deutsche Telekom $3 billion in cash as a breakup fee and give it $1 billion worth of airwaves, known as spectrum, that AT&T doesn't need for the continued rollout of its high-speed "4G" network.
It will also enter into a roaming agreement with Deutsche Telekom so that AT&T's and T-Mobile's customers can use each other's networks.
AT&T will take an accounting charge of $4 billion in the current quarter.
In pulling out, AT&T said the government's attempts to block the deal do not change the challenges of the wireless phone industry. Cellphone companies have been clamoring for more airwaves to meet growing demand for faster downloads on smartphones and tablet computers.
The company said the deal would have solved that problem for a time, and without it, "customers will be harmed and needed investment will be stifled." It called on the government to quickly approve its purchase of unused spectrum from Qualcomm Inc. and come up with legislation to meet the nation's long-term needs.
Many people, however, believe that AT&T had overstated the spectrum crisis.

AT&T Inc. already has an ample supply of unused wireless spectrum that it plans to use to expand its network over the next several years. And much of T-Mobile's spectrum is already in use, so the deal wouldn't have resulted in fresh airwaves becoming available. Furthermore, AT&T has made great strides in addressing network congestion in such cities as New York and San Francisco not by tapping its unused spectrum, but by upgrading its cell-tower equipment.
Moffett said AT&T's spectrum needs are not so grave that it needs to make a large acquisition right away.
AT&T could acquire airwave space through a possible spectrum auction through the FCC. It could also buy spectrum from satellite cable operator Dish Network Corp., which could require an FCC waiver.
The decision to end the bid could be a bigger problem for T-Mobile than for AT&T. Deutsche Telekom has been eager to sell T-Mobile and isn't keen on investing more in the company, which has seen revenue decline slowly with the flight of higher-profit contract customers.
Still, Moffett believes it's too soon to write off T-Mobile, saying it has a good network with lots of room for more customers.
"I think they could surprise some people and be a more important force in the market than people are giving them credit for," he said.
AT&T's stock fell 20 cents to $28.54 in after-hours trading Monday after closing the regular session down 11 cents.

In This Issue
Dogging adventure in the North
Some say dogs tie people down. In our household, it might just be the other way around.
Warmth under snow— Why rising temperatures could mean harsher climate for some species
Broad, deep tracks in the fresh snow followed the logging road ahead of us. "First snow of winter," my grandfather would say, "and the grizzly bears head for their dens in the mountains."

James Fisher's shop is a thing to behold. It dwarfs his house in downtown Smithers and is immaculate, despite the faint smell of epoxy.

Out on the ski trails, a properly chosen and correctly applied wax can make the difference between tranquility and torment.
Coming out of the cave—Finding my diabetic tribe in the North
The chairlift seat sways gently as it whisks me up the hill. I lower the safety bar and catch my breath. Those steep runs through powder burn tons of calories! It's time to check my blood-sugar level.

Canyon Creek Cross-Country Ski Area is about 25 minutes from Smithers up Babine Lake Road.
The Northwest Transmission Line (Comment/Op-Ed)
The graceful steel spires stand at regular distances along the highway. It's as if a giant millipede has threaded its way over the steep roadside ridges, swept out a swath of forest with its belly, and lost a long, straight leg with every step.
Another kind of dream (Comment/Op-ed)
I live beside a gravel road. You cross a small bridge into the heart of Driftwood Canyon and, for a couple of kilometres, the hydro poles have been rerouted out of sight.

Controversy surrounds gay football player getting kicked off team
Published: Monday, September 17, 2012
Updated: Monday, September 17, 2012 15:09
Amid all the controversy surrounding the NDSU football team, the national attention has shifted to a school just 45-miles south of Fargo.
The media is now following the NDSCS Wildcat football team, located in Wahpeton, N.D., very closely. We're talking big-time media here. Like ESPN media.
Jamie Kuntz was kicked off the Wildcat team by head coach Chuck Parsons after Kuntz was seen kissing his boyfriend in the press box during a game in Colorado, and then denying it. Kuntz was videotaping the game because a concussion injury prevented him from being on the field
Kuntz eventually admitted to his coach that he was gay and that was his boyfriend in the press box with him. Parsons dismissed Kuntz from the team the day after saying his actions were detrimental to the team.
And then, all hell broke loose.
"He was kicked off the team for being gay? That's ridiculous!"
That was the immediate assumption made by practically everyone. That assumption is absolutely false. Coach Parsons booted Kuntz because he lied. Parsons has the right to do that. The thing is, Parsons has created an absolute whirlwind of controversy, and the nation is taking notice. ESPN Outside The Lines will be in Wahpeton covering the story.
I grew up in Breck-Wahp. Stuff like this just doesn't happen in the Twin Towns. Parsons is well known by the citizens and many know he is not the man to punish someone judgmentally.
But the way he handled this situation is certainly a cause for controversy.
Immediately after being kicked off the team, Kuntz claimed the reason was because he was gay. And from that moment, I believe Parsons knew he slipped up.
If Kuntz were seen kissing a girl, would such a punishment be handed out? Is it because no one knew Kuntz was gay, and this perhaps shocked the coach?
Kicking a player off the team for lying is unheard of. Kicking a player off the team for lying about kissing his boyfriend is, well, also unheard of. This was a new situation for Parsons. And I believe his decision was a bad one.
He has dug himself into a hole that will almost be impossible to get out of. Gay activist are jumping at this situation. The whole "gays aren't treated equally" idea is apparently true in this situation. A player wouldn't even be suspended if he scored a touchdown, ran into the crowd, kissed his girlfriend, and then ran back to the sidelines.
Kuntz wasn't kicked off the team for being gay. No, but his punishment was harsher because he was gay.
One thing that isn't talked about much is the fact that his boyfriend is 65-years old. As a coach, you don't ever think you'll have to deal with such a thing. With the whole Sandusky scandal, a coach would maybe panic a little and not know what to make of the situation. Parsons had a day to think about the situation though, and his decision was the wrong one on every level.
The whole thing is completely unfair to Kuntz. Saying he was kicked off the team for strictly being gay is also unfair though.
A simple slap on the wrist would have been just fine. There would be no ESPN trucks driving through a town with a total of five stoplights. There would be no news stories or headlines.
Everything would have been fine if Parsons did the right thing. But I suppose that's the case with every controversy. Maybe, just maybe, something can be learned from this.

Cutting Spending to Create an Emergency Stash
By Suze Orman
Oprah.com | From the December 2009 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine
My husband and I have no credit card debt. But because we earn airline miles when we use our card, we charge our monthly expenses (from childcare to groceries), then pay off the balance at the end of the month. We have only about two months' worth of emergency savings. I keep hearing you tell people with credit card debt to pay the minimum due, then use the extra money to beef up their eight-month emergency savings. But what advice would you give someone without credit card debt? Should we create debt by paying less than the full amount on our card each month in order to get to eight months' worth of savings?
Your notion of building savings by accumulating debt is so seriously flawed, I cannot even tell you! When has robbing Peter to pay Paul ever worked? The way to build your savings is by spending less each month. Your goal should be to pay off your credit card bills in full at the end of each month
set aside money toward your emergency savings. See
How to Build an Emergency Fund
to learn how to create a risk-free safety net for your family.
It is too dangerous to rely on credit cards as a quasi-emergency fund, which seems to be what you are thinking, given that you have just two months of living expenses saved. In the past, lenders were all too happy to give people access to credit, and borrowers knew that in a pinch they could use their credit card to cover an unexpected expense. Or they could open a home equity line of credit (HELOC) and just tap some of the equity to cover an expense. But now the very same lenders are frantically reducing the credit they're offering. Credit card limits are being slashed—even if you have a sparkling score of 760+ and little or no card balance—and some accounts are being canceled. If all your money goes to paying off a credit card balance and you have no emergency fund, what will happen in an emergency? Where are you going to come up with the money to handle it all?
That's why everyone needs an emergency savings fund. Those carrying a credit card balance should scale back to making the minimum payment each month so they have more money to put into savings. Someone like you with no credit card debt must cut your spending so you can build an emergency stash that covers up to eight months of living expenses.

Arianna Huffington
Oprah.com | December 07, 2006
What are you afraid of? Aging? Success? Intimacy? Whatever your fear, author and syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington believes you should face it head on. Arianna talks to Gayle about her new book,
On Becoming Fearless…in Love, Work, and Life
Arianna tells Gayle she wrote the book to share her advice to women on facing their fears and pursuing their dreams. "Please, whoever is listening, if you are self-conscious about something, and you are afraid that you are going to be criticized—don't let that stop you," Arianna says. "I feel like a missionary, where I want to convey that to other women. … We're stopped by the fear of being criticized, especially we women, because we so desperately want to be approved of and liked and patted on the back."
In the book, Arianna gives many examples of fear in her own life. Arianna says she wasn't always brave—in fact, Arianna says, as a child, she constantly feared being teased about her height. In college, Arianna says she was self-conscious about her thick Greek accent—"I stood up to speak and was ridiculed," she says. "I still tear up when I think about how hard and humiliating it was for me." In regards to her love life, Arianna says after seven years, at the age of 30, she left the "first big love of my life" because he did not want to get married or have children. "The most terrifying thing I ever had to do in my life was leave him," she says.
Today, Arianna is a successful author and nationally syndicated columnist, and her political blog is one of the most popular online. Arianna says "fearlessness" isn't the absence of fear, but rather mastering fear. "That is really the key message of this book: Do what you want to do, say what you want to say, even while you're afraid. Don't wait for you not to be afraid because that day may never come. I see fearlessness as a muscle…the more we exercise that muscle, the stronger it gets, the easier it becomes the next time."
And what happens if you face your fears and it turns out to be a disaster? "Then we do it again," Arianna says, adding that no successful person hasn't experienced failure. "We can't expect it to work right away. But the key thing is if that's our passion, if that's what we want to do, let's keep doing it and doing it and doing it until we get better."

After dinner, we might go over to hear some live jazz at the Jazz Center, or folk music at the Hooker Dunham Theater in Brattleboro.

Our wine list is constantly changing, but always features 70+ hand-picked wines from around the world with emphasis on Spain, Italy, France and and the U.S. The wines are chosen for value, diversity, and uniqueness. There's everything from bold California Cabs, Italian Super-Tuscans, and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc to out of the way gems like spritzy Vinho Verde, brut Burgundian Chardonnay, and dry Spanish Moscatel, to French classics like Sancerre and Cotes Du Rhone.
Our by-the-glass list changes nightly and we will generally open any wine at all if you take two glasses. We then put the remainder of the bottle on the by-the glass list imediately. So if you are knowledgeable about wines or just into trying new things, you can shape the by-the-glass list with your choices and give others the chance to try something interesting and different.
Our vibe and service are casual, but focused on creating the best tasting experience possible. We generally dispense with elaborate wine presentation rituals, and concentrate on serving each wine with appropriate aeration, at the right temperature, and in good stemware. By-the-glass wine is served in quartino decanters, so you get a generous pour without overfilling the glass, leaving you that all-important swirl-room.
Wine is kind of our thing, but we also love beer. We've got four great ones on tap, including the celebrated Delerium Tremens from Belgium, and a fun selection of American craft-beers and European ales.

Salumi Tapas and Wine Bar, opened its doors Friday, April 18th. As you enter, you see the massive 32 foot antique timber bar with seating for 18 and the dark ceiling beams overhead. The atmosphere is warm and rustic with tons of reclaimed wood and brick, and even the barn-board booths, bistro tables and leather banquettes are custom made from gorgeous old board and timber.
The menu features a variety of interesting small plates of Spanish and Italian origin from polenta with truffled mushrooms to Catalan-style short-rib and chorizo and beet-orange salad, as well as a wide selection of artfully composed cheese and cured meat boards with fruits and nuts. The wine list is ecclectic and value-driven with over 70 hand-picked wines from across Europe and the New World, many by the glass, and craft beers on tap and in the bottle. There is also a full bar.
The vibe is hip, foody, and casual - the food, wine, and beer is gourmet, but the attitude is laid back. The music is as eclectic as the wine list, with everything from Flamenco and old jazz to rhythm and blues and bluegrass guitar. This is a place to eat fun, sophisticated food and drink great wine in your hippest gear or just a black T-shirt and jeans. The point is relaxation, fun, and a new experience with every visit.

This week's big news is the potential arrival of Qnexa, the first new obesity drug to head for tentative FDA approval in 13 years. (The last, Xenical, hit the market in 1999.) Of course, there's good reason for that; numerous weight loss drugs have been found to have dangerous side effects, causing the FDA to reject them. In fact, Qnexa itself was rejected by the FDA in 2010. So what's up now?
So far, the story's mainly being reported as a business story. And that it certainly is; the stock of Vivus, Inc. the Mountain View-based pharmaceutical upstart that created Qnexa, jumped 98 percent today in its first day of trading after the FDA panel's 20 to 2 vote. Given past sales figures for diet drugs, Vivus can expect to make a boatload of cash on Qnexa and shareholders will smile all the way to the bank. One analyst predicted the drug could be the "next Lipitor," resulting in millions of prescriptions. (Though Forbes' own Matthew Harper rightly advises caution.)
But what about the people taking it? How long will they be smiling?
In terms of weight loss, Qnexa will likely produce smiles. Clinical data (not yet published) showed participants lost an average of 10 percent of their body weight, according to Vivus' claims. But as Robert Carlisle's Mr. Gold loves to say on the TV hit Once Upon a Time, "All magic comes at a price." What's the price to your overall health of taking Qnexa?
Let's start with what's in the drug. Qnexa is actually a "cocktail," meaning it's a combination of two previously FDA-approved drugs, phentermine — an appetite suppressant — and topiramate, an anti-convulsant.
If you feel like you've heard the name phentermine before, you have — it's the "phen" from the notorious diet drug cocktail of the 1980s, Fen-Phen, withdrawn from the market for damaging heart valves. Technically a contraction of the chemical name phenyl-tertiary-butylmine, phentermine has a similar pharmacology to amphetamine and works by suppressing appetite.
Because it works by triggering the release of catecholamines, phentermine is known to have two heart-related side effects: tachycardia (increased heart rate) and elevated blood pressure. These side effects don't happen with the frequency and severity that they do with amphetamines, but patient complaint boards are full of people posting messages about worrisome spikes in heart rate and blood pressure and resulting heart palpitations.
Here's how nurse Patricia Nevins describes it: "Phentermine hydrochloride affects the cardiovascular system in much the same way that fear, excitement and anger do. Essentially an amphetamine, phentermine stimulates the part of the central nervous system that regulates the heart and blood pressure. Physicians prescribe phentermine hydrochloride as part of a weight-loss program because of its ability to increase metabolism and suppress the appetite. The cardiovascular effects of phentermine can cause serious heart problems." I couldn't have put it any better myself, hence the quote.
It's important to understand that phentermine is a very old drug, available for more than 40 years. And topiramate has been around for ages, too. What that means in terms of the FDA approval process is that both drugs are considered to be already approved, so less new testing is required than would be for a brand new formulation. However, when phentermine came under fire as part of Phen-Fen, some studies were undertaken to try to understand which drug might have caused the heart damage. While the studies seemed to indicate that phentermine wasn't the primary culprit, they didn't exonerate the drug either because it was extremely difficult for researchers to tease out the data.
The FDA is concerned enough about heart problems from Qnexa that they are considering requiring studies – but the studies might come after the drug hits the market and people begin taking it. With two other diet drugs, Contrave and Arena, also in the pipeline for FDA approval, the FDA plans to have advisers discuss the possibility of requiring heart-risk studies for all weight-loss drugs.
Topiramate: I have a love/hate relationship with this drug. On one hand, it allows me to get out of bed and be somewhat functional. On the other, functional is a relative term as it inhibits memory, concentration, motor skills, it causes aphasia, numbness and tingling in the extremities and I am ALWAYS tired and ALWAYS cold. Not to mention thirsty. Not only that, since I'm not taking this to lose weight, I'm actually borderline anorexic. I have to weigh myself daily and if I drop below the recommended BMI/suggested weight for my height, I have to force myself to eat more than what I want which is unpleasant. I'm sure people who are overweight and/or dieting think this is a dream. Believe me, it's not. Force feeding yourself is no more fun than dieting.
Still think this is a miracle drug? Why would anyone take this drug if they didn't have to? This drug? I had to drop out of the engineering program at my college because I couldn't handle the math while on topiramate.
would it be worth it i'm consider obesity i've tried everything to lose weight and nothing has worked so i'm wanting to know if this will really work because i'm an over eater i need something to help where i won't eat so much and can lose weight please help i hope this passes the fda
All diet drugs ruin the heart valve. Diet drugs or pills do not work because they rob the heart and can take your life. The drug makers know this but do not care because they and the FDA make billions when the drug is approved. The drug makers do not care about you…They want a profit. They will risk the loss of your life for another dollar. Science researchers in Europe showed that no one needs a drug to lose weight. If you cannot lose weight it is because of stubborn insulin from FDA approved food chemicals.
just google SPIRIT HAPPY DIET
This is simply:"scientific Mafia"! Qnexa is a combination of two drugs (phentermine and topiramate) both available as generics! The company is trying to get approval for a new combination just for having more profit! Thus it is crucial that the members of this FDA advisory committee disclose their conflicts of interest! The "obesity science is business science" and thereafter the most controversial field in science (diet, organic food, drugs, supplements)! Take for example the disclosure of the conflicts of interest of members of the Board of the Obesity Society (see link below). Their 'connections' include PepsiCola, Weight Watchers, Herbalife and different drug and food companies! A single member has disclosed 20 (twenty) different conflicts of interest! The regulation of appetite is too complex to be regulated by a single drug! Thus, any drug is anticipated to have side effects (like those with Qnexa). I am quite sure that the FDA will not follow the recommendations of this advisory board!
Dr. pharm. Leoluca Criscione, Basel Switzerland
Thank you, Mrs. Haiken, for this reply! Indeed, it is worthwhile 'investigating about 'scientific' conflicts of interest in the 'obesity field', as they might be the basis of the many opposite and conflicting results in the 'obesity scientific literature'!
By the way, I was unable to find the names of all 20 members of this Advisory Committee! According to the official FDA-information, however, "The Committee shall consist of a core of 11 voting members including the Chair"! Who were the other 9 members? Are there members, who appear as well in the advisory board of the company?
Finally a personal note: I was born in Corleone, Sicily (The Godfather!): for me there is NO difference between "cosa nostra" and the "Qnexa-connection" (and any other 'connection'), which tries to sell drugs, known to have the potential to kill a human being!
The 22 members of the Advisory Committee are listed below:
Abraham Thomas, M.D., M.P.H.
Allison B. Goldfine, M.D.
Almut G. Winterstein, Ph.D.
David M. Capuzzi, M.D., Ph.D.
Edward W. Gregg, Ph.D.
Elaine H. Morrato, Dr.P.H., M.P.H., C.P.H.
Eric I. Felner, M.D.
Erica Brittain, Ph.D.
Janet D. Cragan, M.D., M.P.H.
Jessica W. Henderson, Ph.D.
Katherine M. Flegal, Ph.D.
Kenneth D. Burman, M.D.
Lamont G. Weide M.D., Ph.D.,FACE
Melanie Coffin
Michael A. Rogawski, M.D., Ph.D.
Robert Clancy, M.D.
Sanjay Kaul, M.D.
Michael Lauer, M.D., FACC, FAHA
Robert Smith, M.D.
Sonja Rasmussen, M.D., M.S.
Myrlene Staten, M.D.
Susan Yanovski, M.D.
Of these, only David Capuzzi and Michael Rogawski are listed in the Propublica database of physicians who have accepted $ from industry (about $12K each, not from the sponsor of this particular drug application). Capuzzi was one of the panel's 2 "no" votes on Qnexa.
The FDAs conflict of interest policy is described here: http://www.fda.gov/oc/advisory/conflictofinterest/guidance.html
Dear John2011,
Many thanks for this information!
According to it this Committee looks 'clean'!
I was surprised, however, by reading the publication you mentioned below
Two of the Co-authors of this study (DBA and DHR) are also, by change, on the list of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Vivus Company!
This is ok!
However, in the short CV describing the DHR's affiliations, it is not mentioned that she works at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center(Baton Rouge, LA, USA), in which the studies were performed!? Is this an omission or inattention!?
Great one dotore.
Melanie, I think you raise some good points, but there are a few errors here also. The requirements for demonstrating safety and efficacy are the same for any new drug. The Qnexal development program included studies involving almost 2000 patients, of whom over 800 were dosed for a year or more. While one can argue about whether this is sufficient, it is well in line with the degree of testing required for other new drugs.
The issue of increased blood pressure is real, but in most patients the result of long term dosing is decreased rather than increased blood pressure, as the effect of weight loss on blood pressure is greater than the direct effects of the drug on this parameter.
The company has published the results of two of its Phase III clinical trials. The results of the OB-303 ("CONQUER") trial were published in the Lancet in April.
The results of the OB-302 ("EQUIP") trial were published in the Journal Obesity in Novemeber.
The Lancet article requires a subscription for access, but the Obesity article is open access. You can also read about the Qnexa development program in detail in the FDA briefing docs at the link below.
It will be interesting to see whether a pre-approval cardiovascular study will be required. Such a study is being required for Contrave, a different combination drug being developed for obesity by Orexigen.
I don't think its unusual that the folks in charge of the trial are connected with the company. The lack of independence is a natural concern, but as long as the company is paying for the trial, its always going to end up that way.
I don't really have an informed opinion on whether this drug should be approved without a prior CV outcomes trial. I think its a tough call to trade off the potential drug toxicity vs the known hazards of overweight.
I do think, however, that Melanie should have done a little more research before publishing this article. It's really not that difficult to do a Google search on "Qnexa clinical trial publication" before publishing an article stating that the trial results had not been published and implying that information was being willfully withheld. Most of the criticisms in the article were apparently drawn from reading the phentermine and topiramate package inserts, and its not clear to me that the author understood that the doses these warnings apply to are significantly higher than those found in Qnexa. The actual side effects of Qnexa itself are described in the articles which could have been identified in a simple Google search.
It also seems unfair and unrealistic to me to simultaneously criticize the company for not characterizing the product's safety more thoroughly (they spent about $250M on clinical trials in the last 5 years according to their financial statements) and for charging more for the drug than generic suppliers who have not spent large sums performing such research.
If the company has been neglectful, deceitful, or negligent, by all means it should be criticized for these things. But it seems unfair to offer accusations when one has not first put time and effort into researching the subject matter to make reasonably sure that the criticism is on target.
Forget it. Topiramate can affect eyesight as well. But the mental fogginess is the worst. How the FDA can be considering approval of this just boggles the mind. I am losing faith in the FDA.
If only the FDA would have taken a responsible attitude about the use of High Fructose Corn Syrup 5-1- years ago when its metabolic mechanism in the body became known which causes high glucose levels in the blood stream and fat deposits in the liver and other organs, just like excessive alcohol, then perhaps not as many people would have slipped down the slope of obesity and entered the world of despair. The drug approach to weight loss is still a story in progress. Arena Pharmaceuticals will be before the FDA AdCom in late April and does not have the heart problems associated with fen-Phen, because they developed the technology to understand how fen-Phen caused heart issues and designed their drug to avoid this interaction with brain receptors. This is not an old drug in combination with another old drug, but a novel new drug that can be considered for combination therapy down the road.

The drug approach to weight loss is still a story in progress. Arena Pharmaceuticals will be before the FDA AdCom in late April with its drug candidate, Lorcaserin, that does not have the heart problems associated with fen-Phen. Arena developed the technology to understand how fen-Phen caused heart issues and designed their drug to avoid this interaction with brain receptors. This is not an old drug in combination with another old drug, but a novel new drug that can be considered for combination therapy down the road. The patented technology for drug design will be used on a whole host of novel drugs to treat many chronic diseases in the future. BTW, Lorcaserin has also be found to be helpful in tobacco and alchohol dependencies.
Yes, it's very backwards, Melanie! Thanks for this article. I'm still confused about why the drug is getting the OK… Is it just because there's nothing else out there better?

This was very good & I'm sure it would have been even better if I had marinated the fish for the suggested hour. I couldn't find orange roughy so used talipia instead. Make extra marinade & use it to season brown rice.

The provisioning gamble: which carrier delivered the best hand during CTIA 2013 in Las Vegas?
Along with thousands of other smartphone users, we've been in Las Vegas this week for CTIA 2013. Special events like CTIA can put an enormous strain on the mobile carriers' networks, as extra traffic in a relatively small space creates levels of congestion that aren't seen on a typical day. Tech-focused conferences like CTIA are potentially even more troublesome, with a high population of smartphone users trying to tweet, check email, or perform other tasks that tax the data networks. In fact, for events such as CTIA, the carriers often bring in temporary supplements to add extra capacity to their networks. Keep in mind, then, that the speeds we saw at CTIA might be impacted by congestion and/or by temporary network addition; they could vary considerably from what you would find at a non-conference time or in the larger metro area.
To see how the carriers handled the type of load that CTIA brings, we sent the head of our professional scout team to Las Vegas with one of our testing kits. He attended CTIA sessions and walked the convention center to collect samples from each of the four major carriers. All told, he gathered 3,500 data samples during Tuesday, May 21 (way to go, Marc!). Read on to see how the carriers performed during our tests of data speed, reliability, downloading email messages, and loading an app or webpage. The results might surprise you.
Data speeds at CTIA
The big surprise in this category was T-Mobile. At 18.0 Mbps, they offered an exceptionally fast average download speed. And their 11.1 Mbps average upload speed was also incredibly quick. Las Vegas is one of T-Mobile's initial rollout cities for LTE, and their new LTE network certainly impressed in our CTIA data speed tests.
It's just speculation, but T-Mobile's LTE network is so new that it is most likely still experiencing relatively light loads of traffic. That lack of traffic could also have played into their speedy performance during CTIA.
AT&T and Verizon offered solid, but not spectacular speed performance. Sprint's speeds, on the other hand, barely register on our chart. Sprint is the only major carrier to not yet have LTE in Las Vegas and that lack of LTE coverage clearly showed in their speed performance during CTIA.
Location, location, location
Though overall speeds (at least for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon) were impressive, the carriers' performances weren't uniform across all areas of CTIA. We noticed some interesting differences when we compared download speeds during the keynote address to those we found while moving within the exhibit hall. AT&T and T-Mobile in particular showed significant variation.
AT&T, for instance, delivered a lightning-fast average download speed of 31.3 Mbps during the keynote speech, but slipped to a 7.0 Mbps average during our testing of the exhibit hall. T-Mobile showed an opposite trend, delivering 12.8 Mbps during the keynote but jumping to 18.9 Mbps in the exhibit hall. Perhaps these divergent trends can be traced to differences in how each carrier provisioned for CTIA, with AT&T positioned to better handle traffic in the area near the keynote address, while T-Mobile could cover the exhibit hall more effectively.
Data success rates
Here's where Verizon's network really shined, with stellar reliability rates during both download and upload testing.
AT&T's consistent performance in our data reliability testing is worthy of mention here as well. AT&T offered a similar reliability experience whether we were downloading or uploading.
The same cannot be said for Sprint and T-Mobile, both of which were much more inconsistent when we compared their download success rate with their upload success rate. Sprint and T-Mobile were particularly prone to failures during our upload testing. Although T-Mobile offered great upload speed, that speed might not mean as much if your data tasks fail before you're done uploading a picture to Facebook, a file to Dropbox, or a video to YouTube.
Network type accessed at CTIA
AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon offered amazingly consistent connections to their LTE networks: each carrier's LTE infrastructure was exceptionally well provisioned for the demands of CTIA. Verizon, in fact, connected to their LTE network in every test we performed. AT&T, meanwhile, connected to their LTE network in 99.6% of both download and upload tests. T-Mobile did so in 98.6% of our download tests and 98.3% of our upload tests.
T-Mobile's performance in particular caught our eye. These are notable rates of connection for a carrier with a new LTE rollout. Of course, we were only testing at CTIA locales and not the entire metro area. Still, T-Mobile's LTE connection rates were impressive for a carrier that has only had LTE in the market since March.
Sprint does not yet offer LTE in Las Vegas. They do still have WiMAX available, but we were able to connect to their WiMAX network only 16.1% of the time during our download testing and 18.9% of the time during our upload testing. The majority of our Sprint tests fell onto their EVDO network, with a scattering of tests falling all the way down to 1xRTT.
Downloading email messages
We compared the time it took each carrier to download a set of ten email messages during CTIA. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon all performed strongly. If you were on Sprint's network during our CTIA tests, however, you very likely could have been waiting noticeably longer than colleagues on other networks for your email to download.
Browsing the web or loading an app
In our tests to simulate loading a webpage or app, all three LTE carriers finished in less than a second. Sprint came in at 3.0 seconds. What's this mean in context? Well, if each carrier started loading a webpage to, say, check the CTIA event schedule, Sprint could have been the last to know what the upcoming session was about.
Key takeaways
There's never a sure thing in Vegas, but T-Mobile offered especially solid performance during our CTIA testing. Their speeds were remarkable, their download LTE connection rate neared 100%, and they aced our email and webpage/app testing. The only chink in their armor was their failure rate during our upload testing.
AT&T and Verizon performed well at CTIA as well. Verizon's reliability especially stood out.
Provisioning for events is always a gamble, but for the most part, the carriers' efforts resulted in odds favorable for strong performances at this year's CTIA. The exception was Sprint, which simply wasn't in the same league as the carriers who offered LTE at CTIA.
If you were at CTIA, we'd love to hear about your mobile experience. Drop me a line and let me know if congestion impacted you.
And, if you're interested in seeing how the LTE carriers performed during broader testing of Las Vegas that we undertook earlier this year, check out the first-look report on T-Mobile's LTE network that we released earlier this week.
Remember: check back frequently and check coverage often.

There was only one color option but i wanted blue. I only wish we could pick the letter colors, because the yellow wasnt in my party theme. I will definitely be ordering from here now on!"
"My little guy is turning 5 and wanted cards that weren't theme-specific and these fit the bill. They are of great quality card stock, very glossy and shipped quickly. I think they were here within 5 days. I absolutely loved the design so much that we ordered matching return labels. Tiny Prints is by far my favorite online printing company. They have not failed me with anything."
"We got these invitations for my daughter and my nephew's first birthday party. They turned out great! They were on time with the rush delivery and we weren't disappointed. The color and picture quality were great."

The process in creating your own invitation with your own photo's is not only fun but easy to do. My son's photo's went so well with this particular invitations design and colour's. I had my invitations sent here to Australia so the whole process from ordering to receiving took 1week, it's cute and elegant. So happy with the finishing result."

Posted March 23, 2013
This saw has been an absolute joy to use and I only use it in hardwood. The problems others are having sounds more like user error than tool error. You cannot go attacking wood with this saw like it's a western saw and trying to power your way through. If you're getting chatter it's most likely because you're cutting the wood in the wrong direction. Instead of cutting from the end to the face, cut from the face of the wood to the end. Chatter gone.

Great saw for softwoods. Do not touch a peice of hardwood with it! Was great on cedar but the moment it took a look at a peice of white oak its teeth started chattering. Within the first five strokes those chattering teeth from fear started falling out. Don't remember seeing anything on the product when deciding which to purchase that said anything about not to use on hardwoods.

The right tool for a specific task. This thing cross cuts like a champ. The kerf is very thin which can actually be a hindrance at times, especially if you skip the blade out and have re-enter to finish the cut. I have a push cut dovetail saw with a different tooth configuration for rip cuts.

Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling on Albany to allow the city to fund its own universal pre-K and after school programs.
A major issue during his campaign, de Blasio promised to finance the program by taxing the wealthiest New Yorkers. But at Tuesday's state budget address, Governor Andrew Cuomo pledged the State would fund a statewide pre-K program.
De Blasio fired back, calling the governor's actions a threat to the city's self-determination.
"Our plan requires a reliability, and a consistency, and a five-year time frame. The only way we can achieve that is with a tax on the wealthiest New Yorkers, and I have a mandate to pursue that from the people of this city. And I ultimately believe that Albany has to recognize this, and so many other matters, that New York City should have the right to make decisions for itself," de Blasio said.
The governor said the money could come from the state's general fund at a rate of one and a half billion dollars over the next five years.

Friday, 25 Jan 2013 08:09 AM
At least 61 civilians and 32 security personnel were hurt in violence in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez as police fired tear gas and protesters pelted them with stones, the Interior Ministry said.
Street battles also broke out in Ismaila, where the Muslim Brotherhood's political party offices were torched.
Thousands of opponents of President Mohammed Morsi and his Brotherhood allies massed in Cairo's Tahrir Square — the cradle of the uprising against Mubarak — to revive the demands of a revolution they say has been betrayed by Islamists.
The Jan. 25 anniversary showcased the divide between the Islamists and their secular foes that is hindering Morsi's efforts to revive an economy in crisis and reverse a plunge in Egypt's currency by enticing back investors and tourists.
Inspired by Tunisia's popular uprising, Egypt's revolution spurred further revolts across the Arab world. But the sense of common purpose that united Egyptians two years ago has given way to internal strife that has only worsened and last month triggered lethal street battles.
Before dawn on Friday, police battled protesters who threw petrol bombs and firecrackers as they tried to approach a wall blocking access to government buildings near Tahrir Square.
Clouds of tear gas fired by police filled the air. At one point, riot police used one of the incendiaries thrown at them to set ablaze at least two tents erected by the youths, a Reuters witness said.
Clashes between stone-throwing youths and the police continued in streets around the square into the day. Ambulances ferried away a steady stream of casualties.
"Our revolution is continuing. We reject the domination of any party over this state. We say no to the Brotherhood state," Hamdeen Sabahy, a popular leftist leader, told Reuters.
There were similar scenes in Suez and Alexandria, where protesters and riot police skirmished near local government offices. Tear gas fouled the air and black smoke billowed from tires set ablaze by youths.
Some protesters pledged to march to Morsi's Cairo palace.
The anniversary brought thousands of Morsi's opponents into the streets of other cities, including Port Said at the northern mouth of the Suez Canal and al-Mahalla al-Kubra in the Nile Delta.
The Brotherhood decided against mobilizing for the anniversary, wary of the scope for more conflict after violence in December that was stoked by Morsi's decision to fast-track an Islamist-tinged constitution rejected by his opponents.
"The Brotherhood is very concerned about escalation, that's why they have tried to dial down their role on Jan. 25," said Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Doha Center.
"It's definitely tense on the ground, but so far there hasn't been anything out of the ordinary or anything that really threatens to fundamentally alter the political situation."
In Tahrir Square, protesters echoed the chants of 2011's historic 18-day uprising. "The people want to bring down the regime," they chanted. "Leave! Leave! Leave!" chanted others as they marched towards the square.
"We are not here to celebrate but to force those in power to submit to the will of the people. Egypt now must never be like Egypt during Mubarak's rule," said Mohamed Fahmy, an activist.
With its eye firmly on forthcoming parliamentary elections, the Brotherhood marked the anniversary with a charity drive across the nation. It plans to deliver medical aid to one million people and distribute affordable basic foodstuffs.
Writing in Al-Ahram, Egypt's flagship state-run daily, Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie said the country was in need of "practical, serious competition" to reform the corrupt state left by the Mubarak era.
"The differences of opinion and vision that Egypt is passing through is a characteristic at the core of transitions from dictatorship to democracy, and clearly expresses the variety of Egyptian culture," he wrote.
Still, Morsi faces discontent on multiple fronts.
His opponents say he and his group are seeking to dominate the post-Mubarak order. They accuse him of showing some of the autocratic impulses of the deposed leader by, for example, driving through the new constitution last month.
"I am taking part in today's marches to reject the warped constitution, the 'Brotherhoodization' of the state, the attack on the rule of law, and the disregard of the president and his government for the demands for social justice," Amr Hamzawy, a prominent liberal politician, wrote on his Twitter feed.
The Brotherhood dismisses many of the criticisms as unfair fabrications of their rivals, accusing them of failing to respect the rules of the new democracy that put the Islamists in the driving seat by winning free elections.
Six months into office, Morsi is also being held responsible for an economic crisis caused by two years of turmoil. The Egyptian pound has sunk to record lows against the dollar.
Other sources of friction abound. Little has been done to reform brutal Mubarak-era security agencies. A spate of transport disasters on roads and railways neglected for years is feeding discontent as well. Activists are impatient for justice for the victims of violence over the last two years.
These include hardcore soccer fans, or ultras, who have been rallying in recent days to press for justice for 74 people killed in a soccer stadium disaster a year ago in Port Said after a match between local side al-Masry and Cairo's Al Ahly.
The parties that called for Friday's protests listed demands including a complete overhaul of the constitution.
Critics say the constitution, which was approved in a referendum, offers inadequate protection for human rights, grants the president too many privileges and fails to curb the power of a military establishment supreme in the Mubarak era.

On December 1, 2007, several changes to Chapter HFS 133, Wisconsin Administrative Code took effect.
The revisions were developed by staff from the Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) in collaboration with the Home Care Advisory Committee representing providers, consumers, and association representatives. The revised Chapter HFS 133 eliminates rules that were overly prescriptive and modifies rules to be consistent with federal regulations.
Other revisions were made to reflect current terminology and standards of practice and to include standards promulgated in other statutes and administrative codes since the last code revision in 2001. The rule was also revised to recognize that Wisconsin now allows advanced practice nurse prescribers to be the primary care providers for home health care patients.
