FDA Patient Safety News: Show #24, February 2004
Botulism IGIV Approved for Infants FDA recently approved the first drug to treat botulism in infants under one year of age. The new product is Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), and will be sold under the trade name, BabyBIG. It can be used for both type A and type B botulism. Additional Information: Product Approval Information – Licensing Action. Updated Safety Information for ARAVA (leflunomide) Aventis Pharmaceuticals has sent a letter to healthcare professionals alerting them to new warnings and precautions in the labeling for ARAVA (leflunomide), a drug used to treat active rheumatoid arthritis. The new labeling information is based on reports of rare but serious hepatic injuries, some of them fatal, as well as reports of severe infections, including sepsis. Most of the liver injuries were in patients who had preexisting liver disease or were exposed to other hepatotoxins, and most of the serious infections occurred in patients who had comorbid illnesses or who were receiving immunosuppresants. Additional Information: MedWatch Safety Alert - ARAVA (leflunomide). Recall of Certain ComfortGel® Nasal Masks Respironics, Inc. is recalling some of the company's ComfortGel® nasal masks. The masks are used with CPAP devices to treat patients with obstructive sleep apnea or respiratory failure. The recalled masks were distributed from September 5 through September 15, 2003. The affected devices are being recalled because a small number of these masks don't have a built-in port that allows exhaled air to exhaust properly. Without the port, a patient is likely to re-breathe CO2, leading to a possible oxygen deficiency. In some cases, it's possible that the patient could suffocate. Also, the user instructions with these recalled masks can be confusing, because they tell the patient that the mask does have an exhalation port and doesn't need a separate one. And of course with some of these masks, that's not the case. Additional Information: Medical Device Recalls. Class 1 Recall: ComfortGel® Nasal Mask. Dosing Errors with Roxanol Morphine Sulfate Oral Solution Elan Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Roxanol morphine sulfate products, has sent a letter to healthcare professionals warning about accidental overdoses of morphine sulfate oral solutions. Additional Information: MedWatch Safety Alert - Roxanol (morphine sulfate) Concentrated Oral Solution. Caution on Rapid Administration of IV Push Medications The Institute for Safe Medication Practices recently warned about potentially harmful errors that can occur when IV medications are administered too quickly. Additional Information: ISMP Medication Safety Alert. "How fast is too fast for IV push medications?" May 15, 2003. Fatal Errors in Administering Intrathecal Contrast Media Here's a story you may want to pass on to colleagues in the radiology department. The Institute for Safe Medication Practices recently reported on a patient who received an intrathecal injection of the wrong contrast medium prior to undergoing myelography and died as a result. Additional Information: ISMP Medication Safety Alert. November 27, 2003. "Intrathecal injection of ionic contrast media may be fatal".
In clinical studies, when BabyBIG was given within the first 3 days of hospitalization, it significantly reduced the length of hospital stay in infected infants. It also reduced the average length of stay in the ICU and the average length of time on a ventilator. Keep in mind, though, that BabyBIG has only been studied in infants under one year of age, so it's not known if the drug would be safe and effective for other age groups.
It's important to remember that IGIV products of this kind may be associated with renal dysfunction, acute renal failure, osmotic nephrosis and death. IGIVs that contain sucrose as a stabilizer, such as BabyBIG, have accounted for a disproportionate number of these events. These events are rare, and no cases of renal failure were seen during the trials. Still, patients predisposed to acute renal failure should receive BabyBIG at the minimum concentration available, and at the minimum rate of infusion feasible. These patients include those with any degree of pre-existing renal insufficiency, diabetes, volume depletion, sepsis or paraproteinemia, and also those on drugs that are known to be nephrotoxic.
The new labeling provides further guidance about liver function tests and adjusting the dose or discontinuing the drug based on these tests. The labeling also provides a schedule of periodic blood tests these patients should receive in order to monitor for possible bone marrow suppression.
If you prescribe ARAVA or care for patients on this drug, you should read the letter from Aventis, which describes in detail the periodic lab tests that should be performed on these patients.
At this point, most of these devices been returned to the company, and no patient injuries have been reported. But there could be some patients out there who are still using these masks. If you have a patient who might be using one, you should contact Respironics at 1-800-345-6443.
They note that Roxanol Concentrated Oral Solution contains 20 mg of morphine sulfate per mL. Serious overdoses have occurred when the medication was prescribed in mg, but then administered in mL. In one case, for example, 5 mg of morphine was ordered, but 5 mL of the Roxanol solution was administered to the patient. So the patient received 100 mg -- a 20-fold overdose.
To prevent such errors, Elan Pharmaceuticals recommends that prescriptions for morphine sulfate oral solution show the concentration of the oral solution to be used, the intended dose of morphine in mg, and the volume of that dose in mL.
For example, if the prescriber wants the patient to have a dose of 15 mg of morphine, here's the way the prescription should be written:
Roxanol 20 mg/mL
Sig: 15 mg (0.75 mL or cc) q 4 hours prn
Dispense: 30 mL
ISMP cites several examples of these kinds of errors. Sometimes they've been minor, like the rapid administration of IV ampicillin. Other cases have been more serious. For example, severe hypotension and Red Neck Syndrome (flushing of the upper body) can occur when IV vancomycin is given too rapidly. Serious adverse effects can also occur with too-rapid administration of potassium chloride. The same holds true for VERSED (midazolam), which should be given slowly while the drug's effects on the patient are monitored.
ISMP also reports on a case that led to a patient's death. An ED physician prescribed a labetalol 20 mg IV push for a patient experiencing a hypertensive crisis. The nurse got the drug quickly, but the patient was already being transported to radiology. So on the way, the nurse administered the drug in a matter of seconds. The patient immediately arrested and could not be resuscitated.
Here are some of ISMP's recommendations to reduce patient harm from rapid injections of IV medications.
First, for medications that have a high risk of adverse events when given too fast, provide practitioners with ready access to information about the maximum rate of administration, in mg per minute. Provide this information as an alert on pharmacy-applied product labels and as a special notation on computer-generated medication administration records. Also, post a list of these drugs and their administration guidelines in medication use areas, or on a hospital intranet, or in a small pocket guide.
Second, consider using less concentrated solutions when you're giving a drug that could be dangerous if administered too quickly. For example, you could use the 1 mg/mL strength of VERSED, rather than the 5 mg/mL strength, so staff can titrate the dose slowly during administration. Or you could dilute medications and administer them as a piggyback or with an infusion pump. And you could use a syringe pump to infuse small volume IV medications.
Finally, with drugs that should be administered for one minute or longer, avoid using terms such as "IV push", "IVP", or "bolus." Use more specific terms, like "IV over 5 minutes".
ISMP points out that only certain products can be safely used intrathecally. In fact, FDA requires the manufacturers of contrast media that are not intended for this use to mark the packages "not for intrathecal use" or "not for myelography."
But these warnings can still be overlooked, and so ISMP has several suggestions to minimize the possibility of error. For example, the pharmacy might consider placing auxiliary warning labels on media that should not be used for myelography.
Various types of contrast media could be stored separately, based on their use. ISMP mentions one facility where media for myelograms are stored in a locked box in an exam room that's used exclusively for intrathecal procedures. No other contrast medium is stored there. Another hospital packages special myelogram kits that include the proper contrast medium. Of course pharmacists should visit these areas periodically to be sure that the right media are in the right places.
And when a contrast medium is to be administered intrathecally, clinical staff should perform an independent double check to be sure the product they're using is the right one for that purpose.
It's also important for the clinical staff to be able to promptly recognize an error and begin treatment, because this may prevent a fatal outcome.

So a couple of days back, I got engaged to a wonderful and beautiful woman on a rooftop overlooking New York City at sunset. It was wonderfully romantic and a mouthful to even type, though it seems I write it bluntly. Regardless, there's no way I'd pay $80 for a web template for a wedding website (of course we'll have one) when I know I can design better – wedding brand package methinks… The search for inspiration always puts some interesting links across my laptop, here are some of the more interesting ones.
Lastly, L's cancer surgery is done and treatment begins soon. If anyone can pass on some interesting links, books, etc. regarding radiation treatment and breast cancer, please feel free to do so in this post. Whatever the future holds, I'm a believer in the power of positive thinking, as well as cracking dirty Borat jokes in the wing of a cancer waiting-room. I have felt few greater joys than to put a smile to a cancer-fighter's face. Thanks for the love and support you've sent my way and hers, it has propelled us both more than one can say.
Off to the list:
- May 1st was a CSS Reboot and in line with that, I've setup a new template for the blog. Redoable. Is niiiiice. Some may say it's kinda half-assing it, I'd say it's a damn-fine alternative when you are as busy as I've been. 'Nuff said.
- If you're a designer and need to print a list/book of all of your installed fonts, here's a useful AppleScript to do so c/o MacOSXhints.com
- Alex King has been part of the creation of a new site entitled "All Things Digital" published by writers at the Wall Street Journal – most notably Walt Mossberg. It's nice to see such a great name both blogging and on the WordPress platform. Kudos to Alex for some nice work as well…
- 37Signals, the contrarian beacons that they are, recently put up an interesting post on how a viral campaign should be run. It makes me seriously want to check out a Trent Reznor /NIN show.
- Who doesn't love interesting figure sketching videos?
- Who doesn't love interesting sketching videos being taught with Star Wars?
- A kickass laser-cut wooden plywood frame
- And if you ever wanted to to have that sinking feeling, Viable of London has created the Titanic desk lamp (see pic above)
- Lastly, it nice to see that even South Park can get a punch in on the Mac vs PC war. Found via One Digital Life.

Is this just another recession, albeit unusually severe, or has it been characterised by self-sustaining low-level equilibria or traps? We invite papers that may shed light on this question. We envisage that these may be drawn from the following areas, but anything relevant will be considered. - Edogenous low level equilibria, including labour market and matching models - Credit traps - Expectations and news shocks - Rebalancing and escapes from balance-sheet recessions - Uncertainty [gemäß den Informationen des Anbieters - according to site editor's information] |

We have kind of had unseasonable weather for this time of the year, but at least the sunny days are sure enjoyable.
The recipe for this week, is a good one for this time of year. This kind of pie, is one of Denise's favorites.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie
2 c. all-purpose flour, plus additional flour as needed, up to 1/4 c.
1/2 c. cake flour (recommended: Soft As Silk)
3 tsp. sifted powdered sugar
1/2 c. butter-flavored shortening (recommended: Crisco)
1/4 c. salted butter
Pinch salt
1 egg
2 tsp. vinegar
1/4 c. ice cold water
2 1/2 c. chopped red rhubarb, fresh
2 1/2 c. de-stemmed, washed and cut strawberries (in larger pieces)
1 1/2 c. sugar (1 1/4 c. for high altitude)
2 Tb. minute tapioca
1 Tb. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tb. butter, cubed small
1 egg white beaten with 1 tsp. water
Large granule sugar
Crust Preparation:
Using two pastry blenders, blend the flours, sugar, shortening, butter and salt. Whisk the egg, vinegar and water in a 2-cup measure and pour over the dry ingredients incorporating all the liquid without overworking the dough. Toss the additional flour over the ball of dough and chill if possible. Divide the dough into two disks. Roll out one piece of dough to make a bottom crust. Place into a pie dish. Put dish in refrigerator to chill.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Filling Preparation:
Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, flour, zest and juice of lemon, dash of cinnamon and vanilla. Mix well in a large bowl and pour out into chilled crust. Dot the top of the filling with the butter. Brush edges of pie crust with egg white wash. Roll out the other piece of dough and place over filling. Crimp to seal edges. Brush with egg white wash and garnish with large granule sugar. Cover with foil and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Decrease temperature to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling starts bubbling. Let cool before serving.
Well this past week, Denise and I were lucky enough to get to go on a nice vacation to Orlando, Fla.
Because of all of Denise's hard work at her job in Albia for the electronics company she works for, she was one of the five employees and their husbands that got to go on the special vacation.
We left the Des Moines airport last Wednesday. We changed planes in Memphis, and as we landed there you could see the Mississippi River from the air, as it was out of its banks, everywhere.
We went onto Orlando, and were met by two drivers waiting for us. They took the 10 of us in two vans to a really fancy resort called, The Reunion Resort & Club. We each got to stay in our own three bedroom villa, that had a full kitchen, living room and two bathrooms.
After we checked in, a shuttle bus took all of us to five different villas on the property.
We then, had the shuttle come back for us and take us to a fancy restaurant on the premises for dinner. Later, back at the room, some of us even ordered room service for dessert.
About mid-day on Thursday a huge motor coach bus arrived out front to pick up a whole bus load of the company employees and take us onto to our final resort destination, called the Omni Resort Hotel at Champion's Gate.
The company Denise works for flew a select group of employees from all different parts of the United States, as well as India and England, for this nice vacation.
The Omni Resort was booked solid and could not accommodate everyone until Thursday, so that is why we stayed at the other resort the first night.
The grounds of both resorts were massive and set way in off of the road. Everywhere you looked their were beautiful exotic flowers blooming and all kinds of neat palm trees to see, everywhere.
Once we got to the Omni resort, the 10 of us had a poolside lunch, at an outdoor restaurant. Then, later, everyone dressed for the evening and the company had a pool party around a big beautiful pool, at the hotel They served cocktails and hors'deorves around the pool as steel drum Caribbean music played and then everyone went into a big ball room for dinner.
The owner of the company spoke briefly and then the C.E.O. of the company got up and introduced every employee there and their spouses and mentioned their achievements with the company.
After the dinner, everyone went back out to the big swimming pool for snacks, refreshments and dancing to a D.J., who played music until about midnight.
Each morning while we were there, they had a room set up just for our company members to go in and enjoy a nice breakfast to begin our day.
Then different buses and vans would take everyone to different events and theme parks all over Orlando.
On Friday, we took a big bus with a lot of other people on it, over to Sea World. We saw the Blue Horizon show that had performing dolphins, high flying ladies doing aerial performances and exotic birds flying through the show. We also got to see the Clyde and Seamore, Pirate, Seals show. We enjoyed seeing all kinds of other things during our travels that day also.
Friday afternoon, we were taken back to the hotel to change clothes and get ready to go out for the evening. Two big, coach buses took us to the Hard Rock Café along the River Walk at Universal Studios for supper.
After everyone ate, we were taken next door into a theatre and saw "The Blue Men Show." It was quite unique and different. They even picked a couple from our group, and had them in different skits on stage with them, so it was entertaining.
When the buses took us back to the hotel that evening, they had a whole novelty ice cream freezer full of treats and you make your selection, for your dessert to cap off the days' activities.
Saturday morning, after a nice breakfast, we again were taken on a vehicle to spend the day at Universal Studios. We spent the day with another couple from Ohio, that we had met while we were there. Denise had talked to her on the phone, through work but they had never met, until this trip. So, we had good time together.
At Universal Studios, we went on a few different rides. Denise and the other couple went on the Shrek ride, and the four of us all went on the Jaws boat ride and the Disaster Movie ride. They were all fun.
It was neat to see the recreated sets as you walked along through the New York streets, the San Francisco buildings and the resort seashore town area where the Jaws ride was located.
After a fun day there, we were taken back to the hotel. The employees of the company had a get together where they dressed stuffed animals as firemen and nurses. Then a local fire captain and about eight of his crew were there to accept a plaque and the completed animals for the firemen, from the owner of the company, Denise works for. The firemen give out the stuffed toys to children in emergency situations.
Because of a rainy afternoon and evening on Saturday, the outdoor luau was moved inside. They had a buffet dinner in one of the ball rooms and had a band playing songs that sounded like island music.
Then, there were Hawaiian girls in grass skirts that performed and later everyone went outside to see men do fancy moves with lit, big torches. Then, everyone went back inside to complete the evening.
Sunday morning, we had breakfast in that special room, for one last time. They had the most delicious orange juice I had ever had. I guess it does not have to travel far from the tree.
Vans again took the 10 us, from Iowa, to the Orlando airport on Sunday morning. After we got on our jet, we sat for a long time on the runway and did not move. It was real hot in the plane. Finally the pilot said one of the two air conditioners were not working and we would have to return to the gate, for repairs and to refuel.
It took what seemed a long time to do all of that, but finally we got air born. It never did get very cool in the plane during our almost two and half hour flight to O'Hare airport in Chicago.
Because of the delay in Orlando, we missed our connecting flight onto Des Moines. The airline was not very nice and we were stuck in that airport the rest of the day into the evening with a lot of other people that were in the same situation as us.
Two people in our group managed to secure a flight out on the last plane leaving Chicago for Des Moines that night.
The rest of us all went to a hotel next to the airport and stayed all night. The next morning the eight of us took a shuttle bus to a Hertz rental place and rented two vehicles for the eight of us, to all drive back to Des Moines in. Once we got back there, we got our luggage from the airport and then headed for home.
The 10 of us from Iowa all had a great time together. Doing things together at times and then going off and doing other things on our own.
So, we kind of got an extra day out of our vacation, but waiting around at the airport was not much fun. We finally got home, later Monday afternoon.

10 hurt, 100 displaced after Silver Spring apartment fire
Wednesday - 8/28/2013, 9:55am  ET
SILVER SPRING, Md. -- Montgomery County fire officials say 10 people were injured and more than 100 people were displaced after a blaze ripped through a Silver Spring apartment building.
The fire burned through the roof of the four-story building at Forest Park Apartments on Tuesday afternoon.
Assistant Fire Chief Scott Graham says seven tenants and three firefighters were taken to local hospitals with injuries that are not thought to be life-threatening. It took nearly 40 firefighters about two hours to contain the blaze at the 18-unit building on Piney Branch Road.
Officials are blaming an electric socket that sparked a mattress fire and estimate damage to the structure at about $1 million and about $500,000 in damage to items inside the apartments.

HI there
I made some buttons from graphics - with a normal and click state. I have the buttons set to go to pages within the article/document. Not sure why GO TO PAGE is listed under Flash only - isn't this supported for output to iPad?
In any case I've added on click - go to page -> actions on each button and when i preview via the overlay creator, the buttons don't show the click action, nor do the links work. nothing happens.
it all seems straightforward to set up - any ideas what might be happening?
Keep in mind that the DPS tools are added on to InDesign CS5/CS5.5. The interactivity options you see work for PDF and SWF, but it's not immediately clear which options work with DPS. You should look at the help articles to see what's supported. The "DPS Tips" app (free in the App Store and Android Market) gives a good overview. In fact, there is a slideshow article that shows what the "highlight the selected state" effect does.
When you're creating buttons, only "On Release" is supported in DPS for the "Event" pop-up menu. "On Click" and the other options aren't supported.
In the Appearance section, "Normal" and "Click" are supported. "Rollover" has no effect in a mobile device. When the buttons go to states of a slideshow, the "Click" option is displayed whenever that state is selected.

(6-1, 4-1 Pac-12)
Oregon State 33
(5-3, 3-2 Pac-12)
3:30 PM ET, October 28, 2006
Reser Stadium, CORVALLIS, OR
Top Performers
Passing: J. Booty (USC) - 406 YDS, 3 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: C. Washington (USC) - 18 CAR, 81 YDS, 1 TD
Receiving: S. Smith (USC) - 11 REC, 258 YDS, 2 TD
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) -- Until Oregon State's fans descended onto the field in droves, the third-ranked USC Trojans believed they were headed for another victory.
Southern California couldn't find a way to win this close game.
• 38 regular-season wins for USC; One positive for the men of Troy: By scoring 31 points, USC has now scored at least 20 points in an NCAA-record 59 straight games. While that's likely little consolation to Pete Carroll's crew, we felt it was worth noting. |
Oregon State capitalized on four turnovers to upset the Trojans 33-31 on Saturday, snapping USC's 27-game Pac-10 winning streak and breaking the national championship race wide open.
USC (6-1, 4-1) had also won 18 straight road games. But the mighty Trojans had shown cracks in their last three games, each a victory by seven points or less.
Against the Beavers, they couldn't escape, falling behind early and coming up one play short in the end.
John David Booty's 2-yard TD pass to Steve Smith with 7 seconds left made the score 33-31. But Oregon State's Jeff Van Orsow batted down another pass by Booty on the 2-point conversion to preserve the lead.
"I loved the comeback, but we aren't patting ourselves on the back," coach Pete Carroll said. "We thought we were going to win all the way until we didn't."
USC started the day as was one of seven unbeaten teams in the country. Now there are six.
Ohio State and Michigan won their games and will hold on to the top two spots in the Bowl Championship Series standings when they come out Sunday. That valuable spot behind the Big Ten powers, previously held by USC, is now up for grabs. All those teams with one loss are feeling a lot better about their chances to play for a national title. And Thursday's Big East battle of unbeatens between West Virginia and Louisville just got a little bigger.
Carroll insisted the Trojans should not be counted out yet.
"You never know. To think that would be a mistake," he said. "It just gets harder. It depends on how we'll finish so we'll see what happens."
Oregon State fans celebrated wildly in the second half when Matt Moore hit Joe Newton with a 9-yard scoring pass and Sammie Stroughter ran a punt back 70 yards for a touchdown to give the Beavers (4-4, 3-2) a 30-10 lead.
USC, which was coming off an open week that allowed All-American Dwayne Jarrett and fellow receiver Smith to heal injuries, came back with Booty's 4-yard scoring pass to Fred Davis to close out the third quarter.
Booty then found Smith in the end zone and Chauncey Washington ran in the 2-point conversion to narrow it to 33-25 with 12:09 left in the fourth.
After Alexis Serna's 47-yard field goal attempt went wide left, USC got one more shot and it wasn't enough.
USC hadn't lost a regular season or Pac-10 game since falling 34-31 to California in three overtimes on Sept. 27, 2003. The Trojans had won 38 consecutive regular-season games since, but most of those were with Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush and LenDale White in the backfield.
"We've got guys who know how to win," Booty said. "We've won a lot of games. We've won up until now. I don't think anyone's worried or down or anything."
Booty completed 24 of 39 passes for 406 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. Smith caught 11 passes for 258 yards.
Moore completed 21 of 32 passes for 262 yards and a touchdown, while Stroughter caught eight passes for 127 yards.
Beavers fans lingered well after the game, some sitting on the field, not willing to leave after one of the biggest upsets in Oregon State history.
Coach Mike Riley shouted to boosters: "How 'bout those Beavers!" wearing one of the broadest smiles he's ever shown in Corvallis.
Moore, who was booed at Reser stadium by Beavers fans during a loss to Washington State three weeks ago, was cheered this time around.
"I'm so stoked right now, I can't explain it," he said.
Turnovers helped the Beavers take control.
Moore's 22-yard completion Stroughter on Oregon State's first drive set up the quarterback's 1-yard score for a 7-0 lead.
On USC's first possession, Booty's pass intended for Jarrett in the end zone bounced into the arms of Oregon State free safety Bryan Payton, who returned it to the USC 48.
Oregon State didn't get any points out of the drive, but it ended up as a sign of things to come.
Washington ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 10:47 left in the first half to even it at 7 for USC.
Serna kicked three more field goals, two after USC turnovers, in the first half, including a 53-yarder.
Mario Danelo kicked a 29-yard field goal for USC to make it to 16-10 at halftime.
Then Oregon State scored 17 straight, making it 33-10 on Serna's 20-yarder.
"We're not a bad team" USC defensive end Lawrence Jackson said. "We've lost in the past. Unfortunately, we didn't get out of this one with a win."
The Beavers were without tailback Yvenson Bernard, who sprained his right ankle in Oregon State's 17-10 victory over Arizona last weekend. Clinton Polk took his place and had 22 carries for 100 yards.
The last time the Trojans visited Corvallis, it was 2004 and so foggy that it was difficult to see Reggie Bush's wily 65-yard punt return. The Trojans emerged with a 28-20 victory.
Oregon State last defeated the Trojans in 2000. Probably the Beavers' most notable victory over USC came in 1967, when the so-called Giant Killers downed the O.J. Simpson-led Trojans 3-0 on a muddy field in Corvallis.
Thirty-nine years later, the Beavers pulled off another stunner. It was the highest-ranked opponent the Beavers had defeated since their win in 1967, when the Trojans were No. 1.
"I think we were ready for them. I don't think we were in awe of them, but obviously we respected them. They are a very good team," Newton said. "They had, who knows how many Pac-10 wins? We definitely respected them, but we knew we could play with them."
Top 25 Overview
It was over when... USC's two-point conversion attempt was deflected at the line of scrimmage with seven seconds remaining in the game.
Gameball goes to... Steve Smith. Even in a losing effort, Smith was spectacular, catching 11 passes for 258 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Stat of the game... 38. With the loss, USC's 38-game regular season winning streak ended.

That video is friggin'g hilarious.
My friend works in private security for a small security firm. They've been contracted by AT&T to pull security in the stores until the fanboys calm down.
I've received two texts from him since he started today.
Text 1. Apple fanboys are obnoxious.
Text 2. This has been my day: <followed by link to above video>
I still use a motorola razor
pointless consumption is idiodic.
Won't help you....it's idiot proof.I still use a motorola razor
pointless consumption is idiodic.
The one I had was pretty good, but all I used it for was a phone. Mine worked great as just a phone. I have the iPhone now (yes a iPhone 4). I've been using the iPhone for about 3 years and it has evolved into a part of my life. I keep my schedule on it, use it for getting and sending emails, it is my alarm clock, a web browser, weather forecaster, it keeps track of my blood sugar levels, a tuner for my guitar in a pinch.
I was never much of a PDA person because I didn't want to have all that junk clipped to my belt. I remember seeing people with a couple of cell phones, a pager, and a PDA hanging off their waists. I thought these people needed to go rent a batman utility belt or something. Thanks to the iPhone (and other smart phones) can have all these things plus lots more and it all fits in to my pocket.
I know exactly what you mean. I've just had your basic cell phone for the past few years until I got a G1 right after they came out. I'm a System's Architect and software developer for a large Linux based network, so Android was the obvious choice for me. However, I don't how I survived all these years with a phone with sort of capability. It keeps track of almost everything. From my schedule, to my music. Google maps/turn by turn navigation has got to be my favorite feature. How did I ever find anything in this City before I had that feature? In a desperate pinch, I can even log into some of my work systems from my phone if there is a disaster.
Recently it's even been a lifeline for me. My high speed cable internet has been non-functional at my house for a week or so now. They keep sending out guys to fix it, but it's a problem at the node in my neighborhood, so they have to send out some expert who won't be here until Saturday. I've been connecting from my home via 3G tethering.
I was one of these people for a while, but not by choice. Back in the day before the rise of the smart phones I was on-call once a month for work. I had to have my personal cell phone, the on-call cell phone, the on-call pager, the laptop, and the EVDO laptop wireless card with me when I went anywhere. It sucked, to the casual observer I was either trying to flash wealth, or was a very busy drug dealer. Now when I'm on-call I still need the pager and my cell phone, but I usually leave the laptop in the car, and tether it with my cell.
The pager is necessary because text messages have no guaranteed time of delivery, and that's important for critical systems.
I am thinking of getting the evo.

Our winemaking philosophy is one of patience and taking care to ensure that the fruit that God created is what is most evident in the wine.
Whyte Horse Winery wines are a combination of love and patience. The wines are intended to be wines you would be proud to serve or be served, if they were the only bottle of wine you had in your home. While we realize that every wine can't be a personal favorite, we strive to produce an array of different tastes for you to enjoy and to share. As a result, our wines will complement your food for a wonderful pairing experience.
Whyte Horse uses oak barrel fermentation as often possible. We strive to achieve the proper balance of oak without being overpowering. We like fruit-forward wines. For example, our Chardonnay is malolactic fermented, finished sur-lee, and fermented in 100% French oak barrels. We filter our wines very lightly so as not to remove the aromatics or the mouthfeel from the wine. We currently have fourteen wines, with our holiday wine, Jingles, to be released November 1st. Please watch our website because our quantities do vary and some sell out rather quickly.
We have constructed our facility so that it can easily accommodate future growth. We have a vision for our winery that includes creating a recognizable style of wine, creating an experience for our guests, providing education on the characteristics of wines and how best to enjoy the fruit of the vine. Many of our wines are medal winners from both in- and out-of-state competitions. Indiana is home to the largest wine competition in the country, The Indy International Wine Competition, which is held at Purdue Univeristy in West Lafayette. Winemakers from all over the world submit their wines for judging, as well as to judge this event. Larry has been one of the judges at this competition. He also received his certificate in winemaking from UC Davis: an intensive 185 credit hour, two-year vintner's course based in California. We are very proud of his accomplishments as he continues to strive for excellence. We invite you to visit our winery often. We love hearing your stories as well.
Look forward to seeing you soon..... Salute!

Hey, They're Not All Bad — While researching this issue's cover story on working with CME faculty (see page 38), I heard more than a few horror stories about unethical docs looking for fame and fortune through educational speaking engagements. I shared some of the stories with my husband Bob, who runs the U.S. subsidiary of a Swedish medical device firm. Having been to many medical meetings, he was shocked and appalled at the behind-the-scenes manipulation that occurs.
"What CME needs is more people like Claudia," he said. At my blank stare, he went on to tell me about Claudia Robertson, MD, a Baylor University department of neurosurgery professor he had contacted to speak at a meeting his company held in Washington, D.C., earlier this summer. Robertson said she'd be glad to come. But when the company offered to pay her an honorarium, she was a little more hesitant. "She initially refused my offer," he says. "But after a few weeks, she called me back and said that if I really wanted to contribute something that would be meaningful to her, the Ben Taub Hospital in her home town of Houston was trying to raise some funds to buy a new CT scanner. She'd be happy if I would donate the money I would have paid for her honorarium to the hospital's fund instead."
Now that's a class act.

I can't believe this controller was selling for $60 when it first came out. People were so pissed it doesn't work with a lot of games. The VC controller for the Wii sold for like $20 if I can remember correctly.
Is the Nintendo Wii Remote Plus really better than a knockoff that also comes with the Nunchuck for 20.69? Seems like the Nintendo Nunchuck is $19 extra...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...1EF0HD255 2 in 1 Black Nunchuck Controller for Wii with Remote Controller Wrist Strap and Silicone Case Built-in Motion Sensor and Speaker Compatible with any Version of Nintendo Wii Console |
Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPad. |
One little thing worth noting is that this Wiimote Plus is the newer kind that has the Wii U branding. They include a recessed button on the battery cover to sync the remote with the cover on. Plus there is a little nub on the wrist strap to press that recessed button. I was pleasantly surprised to find these new features the other day. Makes life with two consoles much easier.
I was going to buy but looks like Nintendo is coming out with a Matte Black or White Pro Controller with a Smaller Screen in the middle Like PS4.
Its the Perfect blending of Xbox 360 style controller layout and Wii U innovation with the touch screen in the middle of the controller. Why? All 3 consoles will share, a Controller with a Touchscreen in the middle this generation. Looks like the current ones are being liquidated or slowly phased out. |

The impact of global warming on winter tourism and skiing: a regionalized model for Austrian snow conditions
Title | The impact of global warming on winter tourism and skiing: a regionalized model for Austrian snow conditions |
Publication Type | Journal Article |
Year of Publication | 1999 |
Journal Title | Regional Environmental Change |
Author(s) | Breiling M, Charamza P |
Volume | 1 |
Section | 1 |
Pagination | 4-14 |
Date Published | 05/1999 |
Abstract | Possible climate change will modify snowcover depth and change the characteristics of winter tourism and skiing districts. Our model describes seasonal snow-cover depth related to altitude in six Alpine climate regions as the best of all snow stations. Data cover 30 winter seasons (November to April values) from 1965 to 1995. We modied the data according to a scenario of temperature and precipitation change (2 °C warming, no precipitation change) and achieve a new simulated snow-cover depth. The indicators MARP (mean altitude of resident population) and MASPSL (mean altitude of starting point of ski lifts) serve as references for ``critical altitudes'' of Austrian districts. A warming implies a reduction of snow in all districts, but the loss is overproportional in lower altitudes. The direction of economic impacts is clear ± income losses and adaptation costs ± but magnitude and time frames remain uncertain. |

Renewable Energy Maps
Nova Scotia Wind Atlas
The Nova Scotia Wind Atlas is a project of the Nova Scotia Department of Energy in a partnership with the K.C. Irving Chair in Sustainable Development at the Université de Moncton and the Applied Geomatics Research Group at the Nova Scotia Community College.
The colors on the maps represent average annual wind speeds at a particular location.

Wind Resource Maps of Nova Scotia
Click on one of the following tiles to obtain an enlarged version of the wind resource map for that part of the Province of Nova Scotia.
These maps were created to help identify Nova Scotia's wind resource and stimulate its use. They are freely available for anyone interested in wind energy development in Nova Scotia.
Whether you are an existing business, an entrepreneur, a cooperative, a community group or a land owner in the province, the Nova Scotia Wind Atlas can help identify the best locations to install wind farms or turbines. There is data for both the large utility scale level (for large wind farms and large wind turbines with hub heights of 80 m) and at the private or small business level (for single turbines with hub heights of 30 or 50 m).
Every wind turbine has its own generation capacity relative to wind speed. These maps, used in combination with the technical specifications of the wind turbine(s), can help estimate the electricity power production of a project.
As with any computer modeling, the wind resource on a specific location should be validated with physical measurements using a meteorological tower. This is particularly true for any wind energy projects that needs a substantial amount of money.
The base mapping and land cover data employed in this analysis has been used with the permission of Service Nova Scotia & Municipal Relations and the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, respectively.
Interactive Wind Resource Maps of Nova Scotia
This section is currently still being developed and should be available by the summer of 2008.
This Nova Scotia Wind Atlas project is made available through a partnership between the Nova Scotia Department of Energy, the K.C. Irving Chair in Sustainable Development of the Université de Moncton and the Applied Geomatics Research Group of the Nova Scotia Community College.

On Saturday, the West Point track teams made the short journey north to Aberdeen to participate in the Aberdeen High School track meet. It was a successful Saturday for the Lady Wave and Green Wave as both teams put on spectacular performances which brought home the meetŌĆÖs overall trophies. West Point defeated Aberdeen and South Panola in the large high school portion of the track meet.
To subscribe to the E-edition, please click here.
Three West Point natives who graduated together in 2008 recently completed the Crucible Challenge in Starkville. Above are P.J. Smith, Cody Miller and Brad Seawright.
Sometimes the third out can be the hardest one to get. In the top of the second inning for Hebron Christian, it was almost nearly impossible. The Rams took advantage of four walks and two errors to score seven runs with two outs before the inning ended. The two-out rally, an 11-run inning, gave Kemper a 12-5 lead which the Eagles could never overcome in the five following innings.
A rut can be the most difficult thing to ever get out of. For West Point baseball, it seems like they might not get out of it by the end of the season.
TillmanŌĆÖs Tae Kwon Do School is promoting four of its students to Yellow Belt rank. The students above from left are Luke Desantis, 7, Brody McBrayer, 4, Jacob Zeppani, 6 and Dixon Reed, 6. Master Tillman is very proud of the students for their hard word, effort and success. They put much into this exam. Master Tillman is offering classes to all age groups. The school also offers boxing classes and mixed martial arts (MMA) to the public. TillmanŌĆÖs is located at 132 West Main Street. Submitted Photo
The Oak Hill Academy Tennis team opened their season in West Point on Tuesday afternoon against conference 2-AA foe Leake Academy. The Lady Raiders and Raiders won the team match 7-2 over Leake. The Raiders picked up all four possible points while the Lady Raiders split their points with the Rebelletes.
Baseball can be a strange sport, especially when the momentum turns quickly on a single pitch.
The West Point Lady Wave softball team took on Oxford for the second time in district 2-5A play. After a 5-1 loss to the Lady Chargers in Oxford, the Lady Wave were hoping to return the favor this time in West Point Tuesday night.
The West Point Green Wave played game one of the three-game district 2-5A series against the Oxford Chargers in Oxford Tuesday evening.
Results of TuesdayŌĆÖs match against Leake were not available as of press time, but we will bring you those scores later this week. Anna Ready leaps to serve one up to a Leake tennis player on Tuesday afternoon.

W-8 International Contractor
by hdcostello, Window Shopper
- Created: November 15, 2012, 1:56 pm
I read Publication 515 and am unclear on how to treat a contractor that does
online work for a US based company. There are so many rulings on nexus and I
contacted the IRS and they couldn't give me a clear answer. They told me to
keep on reading Publication 515 and compare it to the forms.
I've been through an IRS audit and they aren't pretty. I don't think there is
effectively connected income because the individual are living over seas and
performing services overseas in an online environment for a US based company.
Is it still necessary to fill out a W-8? I'm leaning towards having the
international contractors fill out a W-8BEN. I can't seem to find a definite
Any advice would be appreciated.

Try getting in touch with a local Small Business Development Center or SCORE, two of SBA's resource partners. They're located across the country and provide free business counseling and answers. Visit our local assistance guide to find your local SBA resource partners by entering your zip code. Another approach that may be useful is talking to a mentor who could offer you specific guidance. Good luck!

Julie Aufranc from ALBANY, OR
I also didn't buy the chocolate covered graham crackers but used the regular kind. I thought there was plenty of chocolate. You need to eyeball the amount of grahamies that you use. I brought these to a group and everyone loved them. The recipe is really easy.
Caryn Schwartz from
I thought these were only okay. I didn't have chocolate covered graham crackers so I used graham crackers that weren't covered. It might have been better with more chocolate. The people who I made them for liked them a lot, though.
Tracy Settembrini from STAMFORD, CT
These are wonderful little treats. They are light and fluffy. Perfect for an after school treat or to satisfy a chocolate craving.
M Au from Richmond Hill, ON
My daughter is really fond of baking and she's a chocoholic (just like me). We had so much fun from baking and this is an easy but delicious recipe. Thanks a lot!
Pat Dickson from London, ON
These bars are heavenly. They just melt in your mouth and are so easy to make it is unbelievable. A great recipe. Thank you

I made this recipe for a family Labor Day BBQ and it was a hit with the kids and the adults! It was a very easy recipe to make and tastes great.
Linda Deunk from ENID, OK
I made this in a springform pan and cut it like a cake instead of bars. Topped with whipped cream or other whipped topping and chocolate sauce it is delicious and fancy.

Louise Smith from VINTON, VA
R Dizney from FEDERAL WAY, WA
I've made these twice; both times were quite successful. In my opinion, they're better made with semisweet chocolate rather than milk chocolate--much stronger chocolate flavor that way.
M Terpstra from Oskaloosa, IA
Made these last night and they were excellent. I will be making them again.
Barbara (Basi Klimek from Webster, NY
These are wonderful. I made them for a school bake sale and to take to a play date. Everyone asked for the recipe.

U.S. Still Not the Best Country For Mothers
May 11, 2012
© Blend Images Photography / Veer
The United States has moved up several slots in the ranking of the best countries in which to be a mom according to an annual report from the Save the Children foundation, reports TIME. Last year, the U.S. was in 31st place, but it has since risen to 25th due to more representation of women in the government, better care for teen mothers, and improvements in female education.
The State of the World's Mothers Report evaluates the well-being of mothers and children in 165 countries based on factors like education, infant mortality rate, breast-feeding practices and the health and nutrition of children.
Plus: Half of Working Women Don't Get Paid Maternity Benefits
Norway managed to stay in top place for another year, likely due to having one of the most generous maternity-leave policies among developed nations. Mothers in Norway can take up to 36 weeks off work with 100 percent of their pay after giving birth, or they may opt for 46 weeks with 80 percent pay. In comparison, women in the United States get 12 weeks of unpaid leave. The U.S.also falls behind with the highest maternal death rate of any industrialized nation, with women facing a one in 2,100 risk of dying due to childbirth or pregnancy complications.
Plus: Are the French Better Parents?
Iceland, Sweden, New Zealand, and Denmark follow Norway as the top-ranking countries for moms. Afghanistan and Niger have landed as the bottom two of the list.
How do you feel about these findings? Do you feel like you get enough support as a mother in theUnited States, or do you ever wish you lived in another country?

BULLRUN Rally
Vegas is the city of sin, which is exactly why this years Bullrun Rally will be kicking off their week long automotive rally in the hypnotic hubbub. But Bullrun isn't just any rally designed for the Average Joe car enthusiast; it is a seven-day competition from Vegas to Miami in which up to 100 exotic cars compete for the title of Bullrun Navigator. Did we mention that there are parties along the way? Eight of them to be exact. Bullrun has positioned itself as a cultural icon within the automotive and nightlife industries. The rally has even been transformed into a reality show that airs on MTV and Spike networks.
Team Hudson is gearing up for this 4,000-mile journey because we believe that culture and travel are necessities, and we didn't want to miss out on all the fun! Bullrun will be held from July 8 through July 15. Team Hudson drivers Seth Rose & Tony King will be along for the whole ride, documenting, tweeting, blogging, and LIVE STEAMING the rally. Fans will be able to capture the moments via www.ExoticsRally.com & www.HudsonJeans.com sites for the entirety of the intense week.
See you at the Finish Line!
