Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from codeine. Hydrocodone is used orally as a narcotic analgesic and antitussive (cough medicine), often in combination with paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen.[1] Hydrocodone is prescribed predominantly within the United States; elsewhere it is rare. The International Narcotics Control Board reported 99% of the worldwide supply in 2007 was consumed in the United States.[2] The DEA number for hydrocodone is 9193 and the aggregate production quota for 2014 is 99,625 kilograms in the U.S.A.[3][4]
Medical uses[edit]
Hydrocodone is used to treat moderate to severe pain and as an antitussive to treat cough.[1] In one study comparing the potency of hydrocodone to that of oxycodone, it was found that it took 50% more hydrocodone to achieve the same degree of miosis (pupillary contraction).[5] The investigators interpreted this to mean that oxycodone is about 50% more potent than hydrocodone. However, in a study of emergency room patients with fractures, it was found that an equal amount of either drug provided about the same degree of pain relief, indicating that there is little practical difference between them when used for that purpose.[6] Some references state that the analgesic action of hydrocodone begins in 20–30 minutes and lasts about 4–8 hours.[7] The manufacturer's information says onset of action is about 10–30 minutes and duration is about 4–6 hours.[8] Recommended dosing interval is 4–6 hours.
Adverse effects[edit]
Common side effects of hydrocodone are nausea, vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, fuzzy thinking, anxiety, abnormally happy or sad mood, dry throat, difficulty urinating, rash, itching, and narrowing of the pupils. Serious side effects include slowed or irregular breathing and chest tightness.[9]
Several cases of progressive bilateral hearing loss unresponsive to steroid therapy have been described as an infrequent adverse reaction to hydrocodone/paracetamol misuse. This adverse effect has been considered due to the ototoxicity of hydrocodone.[10][11] Researchers have suggested that paracetamol is the primary agent responsible for the ototoxicity.[12][13]
It is in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pregnancy category C. No adequate and well-controlled studies in humans have been conducted. A newborn of a mother taking opioid medications regularly prior to the birth will be physically dependent. The baby may also exhibit respiratory depression if the opioid dose was high.[14] An epidemiological study indicated that opioid treatment during early pregnancy results in increased risk of various birth defects.[15]
Symptoms of hydrocodone overdose include narrowed or widened pupils; slow, shallow, or stopped breathing; slowed or stopped heartbeat; cold, clammy, or blue skin; excessive sleepiness; loss of consciousness; seizures; or death.[9]
Hydrocodone can be habit-forming, causing physical and psychological dependence. Its abuse liability is similar to morphine and less than oxycodone.[16]
Contraindications and interactions[edit]
Patients consuming alcohol, other opioids, antihistamines, antipsychotics, antianxiety agents, or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants together with hydrocodone may exhibit an additive CNS depression.[14] Hydrocodone may interact with serotonergic medications.[17]
As a narcotic, hydrocodone relieves pain by binding to opioid receptors in the CNS. It acts primarily on μ-opioid receptors, with about six times lesser affinity to δ-opioid receptors. In blood, 20–50% of hydrocodone is bound to protein.[7][18]
Studies have shown hydrocodone is stronger than codeine but only one-tenth as potent as morphine at binding to receptors and reported to be only 59% as potent as morphine in analgesic properties. However, in tests conducted on rhesus monkeys, the analgesic potency of hydrocodone was actually higher than morphine.[19] Per os hydrocodone has a mean equivalent daily dosage (MEDD) factor of 0.4, meaning that 1 mg of hydrocodone is equivalent to 0.4 mg of intravenous morphine. However, because of morphine's low oral bioavailability, there is a 1:1 correspondence between orally administered morphine and orally administered hydrocodone.[20] The relative milligramme strength of hydrocodone to codeine is given as 6 fold, that is 5 mg has the effect of 30 mg of codeine; by way of the Roman numeral VI this is said to given rise to the trade name Vicodin.
In the liver, Hydrocodone is transformed into several metabolites. It has a serum half-life that averages 3.8 hours.[19] The hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2D6 converts it into hydromorphone, a more potent opioid. However, extensive and poor cytochrome 450 CYP2D6 metabolizers had similar physiological and subjective responses to hydrocodone, and CYP2D6 inhibitor quinidine did not change the responses of extensive metabolizers, suggesting that inhibition of CYP2D6 metabolism of hydrocodone has no practical importance.[21][22] Ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizers (1-2% of the population) may have an increased response to hydrocodone; however, hydrocodone metabolism in this population has not been studied.[23]
A major metabolite, norhydrocodone, is predominantly formed by CYP3A4-catalyzed oxidation. Inhibition of CYP3A4 in a child who was, in addition, a poor CYP2D6 metabolizer, resulted in a fatal overdose of hydrocodone.[24] Approximately 40% of hydrocodone metabolism is attributed to non-cytochrome catalyzed reactions.[25]
Most hydrocodone is formulated in combination with a second analgesic, such as paracetamol. Examples of hydrocodone-paracetamol combinations include Vicodin and Lortab.
Zohydro ER[edit]
In 2014, the FDA approved prescription-only marketing by Zogenix Pharmaceuticals of the first pure hydrocodone product in the U.S, known by the brand name Zohydro ER.[26] The drug comes in extended-release capsules with hydrocodone powder inside, in doses of 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg and 50 mg. This is 5 times as much active opioid as the highest strength Hydrocodone-APAP product (10 mg/325 mg). Zohydro ER (hydrocodone bitartrate) is indicated for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment for which alternative treatment options are inadequate. Zohydro is a schedule II controlled substance under the CSA.[27]
The approval of Zohydro ER was controversial, due to concerns over its potential for substance abuse. The FDA approved Zohydro ER over the objections of its own review panel, which voted 12 to 2 against approval. The panel stated that if approved, Zohydro ER would likely "be abused, possibly at a rate greater than that of currently available hydrocodone combination products". 30 U.S. states asked the FDA not to approve Zohydro ER in capsule form due to its potency and the ease with which it could be abused, by being crushed and then snorted or injected.[28] Zohydro ER was briefly prohibited in Massachusetts before a federal judge ruled that the state's ban was preempted by the earlier federal approval.[29][30]
Recreational use[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (April 2013)
Many users of hydrocodone report a sense of satisfaction (euphoria), especially at higher doses. A number of users also report a warm or pleasant numbing sensation throughout the body, one of the best-known effects of narcotics.[31][medical citation needed] A simultaneous warming of the stomach and rest of the body with the possible sensation of pleasant cooling in the lungs is sometimes also reported, as with opium and hydromorphone [32]
Withdrawal symptoms may include severe pain, pins-and-needles sensations throughout the body, sweating, extreme anxiety and restlessness, sneezing, watery eyes, fever, depression, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and extreme drug cravings.[33][unreliable medical source?] More specifically, withdrawal symptoms follow the path outlined in the Wikipedia articles on morphine and opioids. Furthermore, unlike a light codeine, tramadol, or meptazinol dependence, hydrocodone withdrawal can be expected to reach the worst categories of symptoms, resembling that of morphine or hydromorphone. In a very small number of severe cases withdrawal can be lethal unless undertaken under medical supervision, particularly for users with cardiac or pulmonary disease or those unable to treat the dehydration and resultant acid-base and electrolyte problems. Unlike alcohol, benzodiazepine, barbiturate, and sedative-hypnotic dependence, the abstinence syndrome technically does not kill directly and is in fact self-limiting in many respects.
Taking hydrocodone with grapefruit juice is believed to enhance its narcotic effect. It is hypothesized that the CYP3A4 inhibitors in grapefruit juice may interfere with the metabolism of hydrocodone,[34] although there has been no research into this issue. Additionally, many medications are either substrates (competing for metabolism and exhausting available enzymes) or direct inhibitors of CYP3A4. Inhibition of another enzyme, CYP2D6, would also increase the duration of hydrocodone's elevated concentration in the blood, leading to exaggerated effects. Complete inhibition of both enzymes would theoretically inhibit 60% of the factors involved in hydrocodone metabolism. Inducing CYP2D6 with, for example, glutethimide or promethazine, also increases the hydrocodone-hydromorphone conversion in the liver, and promethazine is an opioid potentiator used with everything from codeine to alphaprodine in clinical settings, which may increase effects but also muddy the picture vis à vis serum levels at any given time.
Detection in bodily fluids[edit]
Hydrocodone concentrations are measured in blood, plasma, and urine to seek evidence of misuse, to confirm diagnoses of poisoning, and to assist in investigations into deaths. Many commercial opiate screening tests react indiscriminately with hydrocodone, other opiates, and their metabolites, but chromatographic techniques can easily distinguish hydrocodone uniquely. Blood and plasma hydrocodone concentrations typically fall in the 5–30 µg/L range among people taking the drug therapeutically, 100–200 µg/L among abusers, and 100–1,600 µg/L in cases of acute, fatal overdosage.[35][36]

- Australia
In Australia, hydrocodone is a Schedule 8 (S8) or Controlled Drug.
- Austria
Hydrocodone is regulated in the same fashion as in Germany (see below) under the Austrian Suchtmittelgesetz; since 2002 it has been available in the form of German products and those produced elsewhere in the European Union under Article 76 of the Schengen Treaty—prior to this, no Austrian companies produced hydrocodone products, with dihydrocodeine, nicomorphine, and nicocodeine being more commonly used for the same levels of pain and the former and last for coughing. The latter two were Austrian inventions of the first years of the 20th Century. Nicocodeine, the nicotinoyl ester of codeine, is virtually identical in strength to hydrocodone. A third, nicodicodeine, the dihydrocodeine analogue of nicocodeine, and acetyldihydrocodeine and thebacon, acetyl esters of dihydrocodeine and hydrocodone respectively, were also used. Nicocodeine is known as Tusscodin, and abroad as Lyopect. It is a prodrug for nicomorphine in the same way hydrocodone is for hydromorphone; nicomorphine is a strong opioid of the 3,6 diester (heroin-nicomorphine-dibenzoylmorphine) type which is also stronger than morphine but not quite the milligramme strength of hydromorphone but with a faster onset of action.
- Belgium
In Belgium, hydrocodone is no longer available for medical use.
- Canada
In Canada, hydrocodone is a controlled substance and is available by prescription only. Hydrocodone is prescribed alone as well as in proprietary combinations, typically with an NSAID or paracetamol,
- France
In France, hydrocodone (Vicodin) is no longer available for medical use. Hydrocodone is a prohibited narcotic.
- Germany
In Germany, hydrocodone is no longer available for medical use. Hydrocodone is listed under the Betäubungsmittelgesetz as a Suchtgift in the same category as morphine.
- Luxembourg
In Luxembourg, hydrocodone is available by prescription under the name Biocodone. Prescriptions are more commonly given for use as a cough suppressant (antitussive) rather than for pain relief (analgesic).
- The Netherlands
In the Netherlands, hydrocodone is not available for medical use and is classified as a List 1 drug under the Opium Law.
- Sweden
Hydrocodone is no longer available for medical use. The last remaining formula was banned in 1967.
- United Kingdom
In the UK, hydrocodone is not available for medical use and is listed as a Class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Various formulations of dihydrocodeine, a weaker opioid, are frequently used as an alternative for the aforementioned indications of hydrocodone use.
- United States
Bulk hydrocodone is a Schedule II controlled substance, ACSCN 9193, subject to DEA aggregate annual manufacturing quotas. In 2013, this quota was 99 625 kilos, unchanged from the prior year.
In the U.S., formulations containing more than 15 mg per dosage unit are considered Schedule II drugs, as would any formulation consisting of just hydrocodone alone. Those containing less than or equal to 15 mg per dosage unit in combination with acetaminophen or another non-controlled drug are called hydrocodone compounds and are considered Schedule III drugs. Hydrocodone is typically found in combination with other drugs such as acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen and homatropine methylbromide. The purpose of the non-controlled drugs in combination is often twofold: 1) To provide increased analgesia with a synergy from multiple painkillers. 2) To deter the misuse of hydrocodone by causing exaggerated side effects at higher-than-prescribed doses. Hydrocodone is not commercially available in pure form in the United States due to a separate regulation, and is always sold with an NSAID, paracetamol, antihistamine, expectorant, or homatropine. Pure hydrocodone is a more strictly controlled Schedule II drug[37] and sold by compounding pharmacies. The cough preparation Codiclear DH is the purest commercial US hydrocodone item, containing guaifenesin and small amounts of ethanol as active ingredients.
Under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), hydrocodone is listed as both a Schedule II and Schedule III substance depending on the formulation.
- Schedule II lists hydrocodone in pure form and any formulations of combination products containing more than 15 mg hydrocodone per dosage unit. This shares the ACSCN of bulk hydrocodone (9193)
- Schedule III lists hydrocodone in formulations of combination products containing up to 15 mg hydrocodone per dosage unit; also liquids of less than 300 mg per 100 ml. This has an ACSCN of 9806.
- Schedule III also lists hydrocodone in combinations products containing "Not more than 300 milligrams of dihydrocodeinone (hydrocodone) per 100 milliliters or not more than 15 milligrams per dosage unit, with a fourfold or greater quantity of an isoquinoline alkaloid of opium" as ACSCN 9805.
Prior to August 1990, formulations with at least three active ingredients which were less than one-ten thousandth hydrocodone base by weight were Schedule V, meaning a handful of hydrocodone syrups including a phenyltoloxamine-based, decongestant-containing version of Tussionex were available OTC (for those willing to sign a Narcotic Exempt Register) in about a dozen states.
On 25 October 2013 the U.S. Food & Drug Administration recommended tighter controls of the drug by reclassifying all formulations of hydrocodone as Schedule II. Critics of hydrocodone use have lobbbied unsuccessfully to reclassify all hydrocodone preparations as Schedule II Controlled Substances, with some seeking reform in 2014.[38] However, there has been pressure from many pharmaceutical firms, medical professionals, and patients, particularly those undergoing pain management, have stressed that reclassification is unnecessary and would be counter-productive to effectively provide pain relief for those suffering. Those opposed to reclassification also maintain that existing protocol for prescribing opioids and the existing inclusion of acetaminophen along with other NSAIDs, are effective measures in deterring misuse.
As of 2006, Hydrocodone was the active antitussive in more than 200 formulations of cough syrups and tablets sold in the United States. In late 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began forcing the recall of many of these formulations due to reports of deaths in infants and children under the age of six. The legal status of drug formulations originally sold between 1938 and 1962—before FDA approval was required—was ambiguous. As a result of FDA enforcement action, by August 2010, 88% of the hydrocodone-containing medications had been removed from the market.[39][not in citation given] As a result, doctors, pharmacists, and codeine-sensitive or allergic patients or sensitive to the amounts of histamine released by its metabolites had to choose among rapidly dwindling supplies of the Hycodan-Codiclear-Hydromet type syrups, Tussionex—an extended-release suspension similar to the European products Codipertussin (codeine hydrochloride), Paracodin suspension (dihydrocodeine hydroiodide), Tusscodin (nicocodeine hydrochloride) and others—and a handful of weak dihydrocodeine syrups. The low sales volume and Schedule II status of dilaudid cough syrup predictably leads to under-utilisation of the drug. There are several conflicting views concerning the US availability of cough preparations containing ethylmorphine (also called dionine or codethyline)—Feco Syrup and its equivalents were first marketed circa 1895 and still in common use in the 1940s and 1950s, and the main ingredient is treated like codeine under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.[citation needed]
As of July 2010, the FDA was considering banning some hydrocodone and oxycodone fixed-combination proprietary prescription drugs—based on the paracetamol content and the widespread occurrence of liver damage. FDA action on this suggestion would ostensibly also affect codeine and dihydrocodeine products such as the Tylenol With Codeine and Panlor series of drugs.[citation needed] In 2010, it was the most prescribed drug in the USA, with 131.2 million prescriptions of hydrocodone (combined with paracetamol) being written.[40]
The rationale of combining hydrocodone with other pain-killers is that the combination may increase efficacy, and the adverse effects may be reduced as compared with an equally effective dose of a single agent.[41][42] A combination of hydrocodone and ibuprofen was more effective than either of the drugs on their own in relieving postoperative pain. The overall effect of the combination could be presented as a sum of the effects of ibuprofen and hydrocodone, which is consistent with differing mechanisms of action of these drugs.[43][44][45] Similar results were observed for hydrocodone-acetaminophen combination.[41]
Four pharmaceutical companies (Purdue Pharma, Cephalon, Egalet and Zogenix) are developing extended-release formulations of hydrocodone by itself; the Zogenix product was approved by the US FDA on October 25, 2013 and was launched in the 1st Quarter of the Market[clarification needed] in 2014. These formulations were designed to avoid the issue of hepatotoxicity precipitated by acetaminophen. These new extended-release preparations also offer lower abuse potential.[46]
Hydrocodone was first synthesized in Germany in 1920 by Carl Mannich and Helene Löwenheim.[47] It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration on 23 March 1943 for sale in the United States and approved by Health Canada for sale in Canada under the brand name Hycodan.[48][49]
Hydrocodone was first marketed by Knoll as Dicodid, starting in February 1924 in Germany. This name is analogous to other products the company introduced or otherwise marketed: Dilaudid (hydromorphone, 1926), Dinarkon (oxycodone, 1917), Dihydrin (dihydrocodeine, 1911), and a dihydromorphine product Dimorphan. Paramorfan is the trade name of dihydromorphine from another manufacturer, as is Paracodin, for dihydrocodeine.
The name Dicodid was registered in the United States and appears without a monograph as late as 1978 in the Physicians' Desk Reference; Dicodid may have been marketed to one extent or another in North America in the 1920s and early 1930s. The drug was pure hydrocodone in 5 and 10 mg tablets, small tablets like the Dilaudid tablets. It is no longer manufactured by Knoll in Germany, nor is a generic available. Hydrocodone was never as common in Europe as it is in North America—dihydrocodeine is used for its spectrum of indications. Germany was the number two consumer of hydrocodone until the manufacture of the drug was discontinued there, now the world outside the United States accounts for less than 1 per cent of annual consumption. It was listed as a Suchtgift under the German BtMG and regulated like morphine. It became available in the Schengen Zone of the European Union as of 1. January 2002 under Title 76 of that treaty.

Old engine
At the shows I see the hit-and-miss engines, but never have owned nor operated one of them. I remember a feed mill with an engine out back. The mill had been converted to electric motors and I never saw the engine in use. But a couple of people do remember it being the power source for the mill. They say that a bulb of some sort on the engine was heated with a blowtorch and then someone would stand on the spoke of the flywheel to get it rotating. Anyone have an idea about the engine? Gasoline? Kerosene? Diesel? I suspect that it was kerosene, spark ignited, and 15 to 20 hp. But others are much more knowledgeable than am I. Give me your best guess.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Old engine
I imagine it would be one of the "hot bulb" engines that were very popular in Europe. The would run on virtually any fuel. Check them out on wikipedia or just google hot bulb engines for a lot of information.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Re: Old engine
Sorry you brought back memories of my first job rebuilding machines.
When i first started rebuilding machines we had a similiar designed machine come in from a company who made nails in canada these were cold forming headers. They had big flywheels and connecting rods and were the piston would be it had a slide. It would draw in the round stock and on the so called compression stroke it would cold form a nail and head at the saametime. These reminded me of the old hit-miss engines. We scraped in new bronze plate bearings and i did the lube system. Before they had castiron for bearing ways with a drip oil lube system. The later ones had steel plates for beaing ways. We rebuilt them all.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

When the Miami Beach mayor made controversial remarks that his city wasn't the place for a tech hub, he may not have been aware that right off Lincoln Road is a technology portfolio company that works with entrepreneurs to launch their products to market. Mayor Philip Levine, meet Rokk3r Labs.
Launched in March 2012, Rokk3r Labs has about 45 employees in its Miami Beach and Bogotá offices who build mobile applications and other types of software products for 30 portfolio companies, including Good World Games, AdMobilize and Fitting Room Social. Rokk3r owns 3 percent to 45 percent of most companies in its portfolio and 100 percent of some.
"Growing Rokk3r Labs has been one of our primary focuses over the last 12 months," said Germán Montoya, co-founder and managing director of Rokk3r. To find and retain talent, the company has cultivated relationships with universities locally and internationally, including Harvard, MIT and the University of Waterloo in Canada, and is known for its culture that includes spirited soccer games and yoga sessions. "We have tapped into a vein of creative and technical resources that want to be a part of building a product and a company here in Miami as opposed to going to work for a large company out west [and] working on a feature of a product that may never see the light of day."
In addition to Montoya, the other founding partners are Nabyl Charania, CEO and co-managing director, Juan Montoya, general manager, Brian Sanchez, chief engineer, and Charles Irizarry, chief product architect.
In the past few months, the company has focused on growing its offices in Bogotá, which houses about 25 of the the 45 employees. Right now the team in Bogotá is the development arm for Rokk3r's portfolio companies. At some point soon, Rokk3r hopes to begin accepting portfolio companies from Colombia as well.
Rokk3r is eyeing expansion to other areas of South America, Europe and Africa. "We want to replicate our model. Good ideas are everywhere, if the model works here, it should work in other places," said Montoya, an economist with an entrepreneurial and advertising background. "Like Miami, we are looking for cities that are at the right moment for us to come in."
By that he means the right moment in ecosystem development. The Rokk3r model would not have worked five or 10 years ago, he said.
Montoya also said the 2-year-old company — a startup itself — has been looking inward, tweaking its business mode. "Our customer is the entrepreneur," said Montoya, "As we continue to understand what our customrer needs, we continue to cater to those needs."
The Miami Herald met with Rokk3r's management team last fall and followed up with email questions to Montoya about Rokk3r's business model, its portfolio companies and the technology ecosystem.
Q. You invited Miami Beach Mayor Levine to visit Rokk3r Labs. What do you hope he learns from the visit?
A. Like every startup, we are constantly evangelizing our company and telling our story. We want everyone to know that we are growing at record pace and helping to shape a new economy in South Florida. Our hope is to be able to share our growth, our passion and our desire to grow in Miami with the mayor.
Q. Do you agree or disagree with the mayor's comments, and why?
A. Rokk3r is full of builders, not politicians. Meaning, we don't scrutinize based on public comments. We really hope to have a valuable conversation with the mayor and a strong working relationship to make Miami stronger than it is today.
Q. How do you capitalize on your SoBe location and recruit and retain talent?
A. We are so fortunate that many of the greatest young developers are in cold-weather climates and are forced to suffer through miserable winters.
Our talent strategy is huge for Rokk3r. We have developed unique partnerships with Waterloo and Harvard that enables us to recruit talent. These students come to Rokk3r for four months at a time, get a small stipend and live cost-free in apartments on the beach. Picture an episode of the real-world with very smart, capable students who actually make it to work on time.
Q. What do you look for in a portfolio company?
A. We have a saying inside Rokk3r that it always comes down to "People and Product." We have started carving out a niche — unintentionally and not exclusively — where the majority of entrepreneurs we are working with are seasoned professionals who have a real expertise in their field and who have discovered a void they believe they can solve.
As far as product, we conduct a three- to four-week "Think Phase" that allows us to vet each and every idea and learn about the market, the team, and the potential of the idea as a business. Ideally, we build companies that plan to disrupt an existing market with a recognizable customer base… rather than building companies that are attempting to create a user base.
Q. I understand you've also launched a couple of homegrown companies? Tell me about one of those?
A. S3nse is a product that we are very excited about and one that continues to grown. S3nse is a real-time analytics dashboard that is customized to the needs of the client. The purpose is to allow executives to make decisions in real-time rather than relying on data that is weeks or months old.
To date, we have launched S3nse in over 25 countries for a large array of corporate clients in association with DDB (a top-tier creative agency) including McDonald's, Tobacco Free Florida, and others.
Q. How will you ultimately measure success for Rokk3r, the business?
A. Our success is all about the success of our portfolio companies. It is critical for us to launch new companies on a more regular basis and to help those companies grow to the next level.
We also believe that success for Rokk3r will come through the creation of a sustainable ecosystem in Miami. We planted a flag in Miami early and for a reason and we want to be among the early pioneers of making Miami a strong Tech Hub of the Americas.
Q. Speaking broadly, what are the biggest challenges of your portfolio companies?
A. Resources and distribution. All startups are in need of resources but what we are really starting to focus on is distribution methods for the new world. Entrepreneurs in the digital space can't rely on shelf space and traditional retail so we are spending a lot of time focusing on a new approach for growth strategies. We believe this is the next great marketing challenge, and we have now brought a growth marketing division on-board to help our companies grow.
Q. Have you tweaked your business model at all? How?
A. We have been in business for two years and we are currently looking at our history and the lessons learned. We are definitively tweaking, optimizing and changing thing around but we are getting ready to expand services and change focus in a way that will improve Rokk3r Labs' value proposition … Stay tuned.
Q. What's been the biggest challenge for Rokk3r?
A. Explaining and positioning a new business model for entrepreneurship has been a challenge. We have been challenged to go beyond the naysayers to actually propose a new and better way to build companies.
Q. What's one pro and one con of growing a tech business in South Florida?
A. Pro: We are seeing Miami grow right before our eyes and Rokk3r came in on the ground floor. We have a huge opportunity to grow with Miami and throughout the Americas.
Con: The infrastructure that has been established in Silicon Valley is tremendous and it will take time for that to develop in Miami. When you travel to San Francisco there is no explanations necessary and no difficulties finding capital to sustain your company. This will change over time.
Q. In your view, how is the tech hub movement in greater Miami progressing and what role does Rokk3r play?
A. Every week we are seeing the results of a mass movement to make Miami a tech hub. From eMerge Americas to Endeavor to Venture Hive and The Lab, we see fresh ideas, strong deal flow and creative entrepreneurs.
Q. If you could add one more ingredient to the tech ecosystem immediately, what would it be?
A. We need real competition among investors. The few investors that are active feel little urgency to close deals, slowing down the ecosystem.
I believe that eMerge is going to bring huge value to Miami in the near and long-term resulting in additional deal flow, capital and outside experts and resources that all of us need.
Q. What's one thing people may not know about Rokk3r?
A. That we have moved four times in the same building.
Q. Entrepreneurs — are they born or made?
A. Entrepreneurs are made through a very unique set of circumstances where passion, confusion and stress result in a strong pattern of creativity. It's the passion and stress that give us great ideas and the confusion that allows us to change course at a moment's notice.

LEBANON, OH (FOX19) - Six men and six women have been chosen for the jury in the retrial of Ryan Widmer which begins Monday. Prosecutors say Widmer drowned his wife, Sarah, in their Hamilton Township home in 2008.
Jay Clark, Defense Attorney for Widmer, asked all of the potential jurors if they knew anyone who worked at strip club in Iowa, this was just one of the many questions asked of the jurors.
Prosecutors claim they have a mystery witness who reportedly heard a confession from Widmer. The mystery witness, who is believed to be a woman, will testify on Monday.
Widmer's 2009 murder conviction was thrown out over juror misconduct. Jurors in his second trial last year failed to reach a unanimous verdict.
It is still undecided if the court will allow the prosecution's lead witness, Hamilton Township Police Detective Jeff Braley, to be questioned about his job application. The defense claims Braley lied about his education and work experience on the application, but Braley claims the application was altered. An investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Identification determined the application was not tampered with.
The jury will not be sequestered in this case.

The Panthers' passing game has shattered expectations through the first quarter of the season, thanks in large part to the performance of rookie QB Cam Newton. Carolina's defense lags behind the highly productive offense at this point, but there are players exceeding expectations on that side of the ball, too, including CB Captain Munnerlyn.
There was concern that the Panthers would have a liability at right cornerback with the undersized Munnerlyn moving from nickel back to that spot to replace Richard Marshall, but head coach Ron Rivera has been very pleased with his play. Munnerlyn stood out to Saints head coach Sean Payton, too. Payton mentioned Munnerlyn when discussing the Panthers' defense this week ahead of New Orleans' Week Five meeting with Carolina, saying the third-year corner was having "an exceptional season."
A seventh-round pick in 2009, Munnerlyn is listed at only 5-foot-8, but he's proving to be a serviceable starter playing opposite LCB Chris Gamble, who has also quieted some doubters with his performance after a down year in '10.
The encouraging signs on defense don't end at cornerback for the Panthers.
On the defensive line, the Panthers have started their two third-round picks this year, NT Sione Fua and DT Terrell McClain, in every game. They're experiencing growing pains, as expected, but the Panthers have shown a commitment to being patient and allowing them to get some valuable experience. The defensive end tandem of Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy has impressed and appears to be one of the better pass-rushing duos in the division, if not the entire NFC. The season-ending injuries suffered by starting LBs Jon Beason and Thomas Davis were devastating and have weakened the run defense. That's an area where the team is going to have to improve to be more competitive.
Rivera has likened his team in recent days to the little brother that gets picked on and beat up, but eventually grows, matures and starts doling out punishment rather than only receiving it. The Panthers' win-loss record puts them in last place in the NFC South, and the standings may not look very appealing to the team and its fans at any point this season. Whether or not, and the speed with which, the Panthers grow up remains to be seen, but Rivera's optimism isn't being dismissed as coach-speak, and that's telling.

WASHINGTON — "Downton Abbey," the hit British television series, has also made it big in the United States with its interwoven storylines of the Crawley family and its servants at the stately country manor.
The series, which started its third season on PBS last Sunday, has many local admirers waiting to see what will happen to the house and the inheritances of the next Earl of Grantham.
Not only the characters have become admired, but the house itself has taken on a life of its own. But the real house, Highclere Castle, is nowhere near Manchester, England, but a short train ride from London.
Carnegie Public Library's Rick Chambon, a Downton fan, visited the castle last year with his partner Jeff Gumbel. The two have prepared a multimedia presentation of their experience, set for 6:30 p.m. Monday at the library, 300 W. Main St.
The men visited Highclere Castle, which is 50 miles outside London, last September. And like many have seen during the show, the castle is beyond words.
"The setting is spectacular," Chambon said. "The road into the castle winds for about a mile. It is set up on a plateau, hence the name, Highclere."
The house is an actual estate, according to Highclere Castle's own website and home to an actual lord, the Carnavons. Since the series premiered and its popularity boomed, the castle has started taking visitors along the rooms and grounds where the show is filmed.
"You walk in and see something that was on television and the size and details are so much more rich," Chambon said.
But the history of Highclere is more than just the set of "Downton Abbey." It has stories all its own. Chambon will spend some time talking about the history of the castle, from its library to the family's support of the first King Tut exhibition.
"We're going to focus on the Carnovan family and the events that went on there," Chambon said. "We will go through the principal public rooms and the grounds, some of the support areas for Highclere. It will be interesting."
Chambon, like many, has been drawn to the WWI-era drama written by Julian Fellowes due to its interaction between the high-class Crawleys and the servants who keep Downton going. There is also the drama of who will be the next Lord Grantham and will the house continue.
"First of all, Lord Fellowes has written a remarkable script and has a tremendous cast," Chambon said. "It's an era that is now gone, but it's still fairly recent."
Chambon said response to the presentation has been well received. Preregistration is suggested if one plans to attend. Please call the library at 254-4586 to register. Refreshments will be served.

The Sports were forced to wait for their 2nd home win on the bounce, but without doubt again deserved the 3 points .v. Billericay Town.
Billericay arrived late at Priory Lane requiring a 15 minute delay for kick-off, and the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse with Boro forced to defend against the late arriving wind and rain for the first 45. The visitors started well despite, their very late arrival, no doubt assisted by the conditions. However the constructive football was being played by Boro and Josh Scowen created a great crossing opportunity on 6 minutes, delivered into visiting keeper Dale Brightly's hands. Billericay came back with a low right wing cross, Jay May denied by a solid Boro defending as the ball was angled towards his run. Josh Scowen was really causing the visitors problems in the opening exchanges. His twisting and turning evaded the rather static visitors on 13 minutes and his chipped cross was just above Charles Ademeno and beyond the late arriving Simon Johnson.
With the strong wind at their backs Billericay enjoyed a 10 minutes spell of positional dominance but Chris Shephard and Simon Johnson conjured an opening for Ademeno. After losing his marker his shot across the goal beat Brightly but also the far post on 25 minutes.
Harrison Chatting was lucky to get on the end of a long free kick but unlucky that his touch was straight at Danny Potter as a long free-kick was delivered goal-ward. Typically of the squad this season the opening goal was a well worked affair. On 28 minutes Ademeno showed great strength to break a tackle in midfield and showed great vision to thread a pass to Shephard. Shephard's first touch took him away from the defender and he showed great composure to shoot low and under Brightly into far corner for 1-0 Boro.
As Boro took the lead the visitors came back. Chatting shot wide on 32 minutes as the ball broke free to him 25 yards out and Nathan Green shot wide from distance as the visitors looked to achieve parity. However the half closed with Boro looking to extend their lead. Scowen and the threatening Sam Cole combined only for Duran Reynolds to flick head the ball away from danger. Cole and Ademeno had chances to make it 2-0 but struck high and wide before the half time whistle blew.
Billericay made a half time change with Dave Collis replacing Chatting and within minutes the Essex side were level. No doubt about the penalty as Marvin Hamilton was forced to bring down the liveley Sam Lechmere and on 47 minutes Glenn Poole drove the ball home low for 1-1.
The sides traded half chances, Scowens's shot blocked for a corner and Alex Osborn tripping over his own feet when 1 on 1 with Potter on the hour, but on 72 minutes Tommy Widdrington introduced Gary Hart for the excellent, but struggling after a knock, Ademeno. It took 5 minutes for Harty to make his mark. Shephard bravely won the ball back as Brightly scuffed a clearance and from distance Hart drove the ball home low as the keeper struggled to get his feet and angles right. A deserved 2-1 lead in Boro's favour.
Boro changed their formation with the introduction of subs and the visitors applied pressure without testing Potter, The Sports keeping the goal advantage and three points in the bag despite Luke I'Anson missing a gilt edged chance on 86 minutes, free, 6 yards out, skying a fantastic delivery from deep left.
Following the game Widdrington said "A different game from Tuesday but wins will come in many ways throughout a season, pretty 3-0 wins, hard fought 2-1 wins. I actually turned to Alan (Kimble) 10 minutes before we scored and said I thought we would win. We were the better football side in difficult conditions. I'm pleased for the players as repeating a performance like Tuesday at home just days later is always hard."
On discussing the two goals by his side he commented "Great goals. Chris Shephards first touch was great and his finish sublime and Gary Hart, by his own admission, didn't think he could run another yard, so he's smashed it home from distance. Great finish."

The holidays often bring about strong feelings in people: nostalgia, thankfulness, and, of course, horniness. That means for gents and ladies on the prowl, you don't necessarily need to bring your A-game. In fact, the holidays present the perfect opportunity to utilize the minimum effort required of mankind's most basic move – the pick-up line.
HISTORICAL FACTOID: Did you know that the first pick-up line was actually the first instance of human language? A Neanderthal man approached a hairy Neanderthal chick and said: "If I show you my bone will you show me your cave?"
Here are some lazy but effective lines to try out during the holidays:
Presidents' Day: I'd like to visit YOUR oval office.
Groundhog Day: My hog can't help but see his shadow.
Valentine's Day: Single?
St. Patrick's Day: I will shamrock your world.
Arbor Day: I wanna make you bark. / Check out my trunk. / I'd like to give you my branch and then leave. (Treeway tie)
Cinco De Mayo: Wanna have breakfast on Sixo de Mayo?
Memorial Day: You make it hard to fly my flag at half-staff.
Labor Day: It's Labor Day, baby, why are you workin' it?
Election Day: More like "Erection Day!"
Thanksgiving: Anything involving stuffing!

Draught @ Brewpub: This one pours a cloudy, orangish amber color. There was about no head on it at all. It has a nice nose. Grapefruit, tropicl fruits and a hint of pine. The taste is good. Some bitterness, grapefruit hops with a lot of the malts and sweetness coming through. A really decent brew.

Apricot colored with no head to comment on, as seems to be the case with many of this brewer's beers. Mouthfeel is a bit watery. Aroma is citrus-orangey, reminds me of orange juice. Flavor is big hops, without being overpowering. Hops is citrusy, a bit flowery and sweet. Very tasty. A tangy orange peel flavor lingers. This is a really nice IPA.

German-style refillable growler filled at the brewpub.
First imperial pint pours with a tight 1/4" beige head, over the slightly cloudy dark reddish amber brew. Head is quickly down to a layer of teensy bubbles, with froth around the rim, with heavy sticky lace. Aroma is dominated by grapefruit hops character. Taste starts with malty sweetness, but it is short-lived, with the grapefruit and subsequent strong bitterness being the main story. Mouthfeel is smooth for the style, with very good drinkability. A good IPA from Willi, whodathunkit? :-)

Grabbed a growler to bring home after dinner at Willi.
Pours a cloudy ruby amber color with a solid inch of soapy white head that has pretty decent retention.
The nose contains lots of peachy like fruitiness along with bigger piny and grapefruity like hop aromas. Along side the nice hoppy aroma is a presence of light caramel maltiness with a tinge of brown sugar.
Each sip brings a nice hop bitterness best characterized by piny grapefruit much like the aroma with a good dose of sweeter orange and light peach notes. The malt offers some pretty good balance with its subtle bready and light caramel flavor but the hops finish big leaving a nice pleasant bitter hoppiness on my tongue after each sip.
After having a few of these at the pub I still needed to bring home a growler, great drinkability with great flavor and aroma. Thanks Willi Brew Co!

Served on-tap on 11/12/2010 at Willimantic Brewing Co.
A: Cloudy, golden-amber color with a two-finger thick head of creamy white foam which left fantastic lacing. Very muddled, unfiltered quality; looks pulpy almost.
S: Lots of sweet, juicy, fruity hop aromas in the nose. Like grapefruit and orange juice combined with a floral hop scent.
T: Flavor mirrors the aroma nicely. Very sweet and bitter blend of malts yielding tropical fruit, citrus and floral flavors. Juicy, acidic and tart bitterness wash down slick and resinous.
M: Full-bodied mouthfeel with a good amount of unfiltered malt and yeast chew to it. Puckering sweet and bitter citrus hops.
D: A potent, award-winning brew for the citrus hophead. West Coast feel with East Coast sensibility, it takes the bitter, citrusy hops you crave and delivers a sweet, juicy balance with none of the 6% ABV taken notice of.

Another great IPA from Willimantic. Nice balance of grapefruity-citrus rind hops with a sweet malt backdrop.... great hop flavor without over-the-top bitterness.
Hazy amber....good aroma of floral and citrus hops.
Medium mouthfeel....good carbonation...just right bitter aftertaste.
Very drinkable stuff.

Reviewed on 11/13/2009. Growler from the brewpub. Pours a clear dark amber with a small white head. Aroma of garlicky hops, grassy hops, tropical fruits, sweet caramel malt. Flavor of citrusy hops, hop oils, sweet caramel malt. Sweet and malty. A little heavy for an IPA, but enjoyable.

It's the largest outbreak of West Nile Virus in the history of the United States. With a bulk of the reported cases happening right here in the tri-state area.
Mike Vos is just your average Midwest truck driver from Lake Benton, Minnesota. So when he started feeling sick, he just thought he had a fever. But it was a fever that just wouldn't break.
"it lasted about three weeks, every bone in your body aches, it's like getting the flu, you get over it and then you relapse again." Said Vos.
Mike finally decided to get checked out by his local doctor, who diagnosed him with an ear infection and sent him home. Later that day Mike went to Brookings for a second opinion. He was severely dehydrated but doctors there still couldn't determine what was ailing him.
After a weekend at home, things continued to get worse so he checked into Avera McKennan and given a diagnosis of West Nile Virus.
"I'm an outside person that's all I do, never gave it a thought you'd catch something like this!" Said Vos.
Mike has been at Avera McKennan for five days, sleeping most of the time, just waiting for nature to take it's course.
Dr. Jawad Nazir, an infectious disease specialist, says Mike's symptoms are not uncommon. But in most cases of West Nile patients don't even know they've been infected.
"The disease can be severe, but in most patients it's not very severe and presents like a flu illness and some people may not notice it some may just have headaches and body aches." Said Dr. Nazir.
While the hospital treats Mike's fever and aches they also do daily neurology tests. These seemingly simple tests are done to check for signs of the more serious symptoms of West Nile, which can lead to Meningitis or Encephalitis. Dr. Nazir says even though these complications are rare Mike's age puts him at risk.
"People who are elderly, or I'll say more than 50 years of age or people with a lowered immune system they may have the severe form of the disease." Said Dr. Nazir.
With the drought there are less mosquitoes buzzing around, but the ones that are, are more likely to carry the virus. There have been fatalities reported and the virus is not to be taken lightly, but infection is easily prevented.
"By avoiding mosquito bites by using mosquito repellant, staying away from standing water, using screens at home." Said Dr. Nazir.
Right now the outbreak of West Nile is the largest ever seen in the United States. But with the prime mosquito season winding down, Dr. Nazir believes so will the number of West Nile cases.
"I think it will calm down, we just need to focus on preventative measures and not panic too much." Said Dr. Nazir.
While Mike is still feeling the sting of an unlucky mosquito bite, he's just focusing on one thing.
"Just get home, that and get back to work I guess!" Said Vos.
