October also brings in a day that commemorates what should be a part of our daily activities but for many is either forgotten or simply ignored: handwashing. It's not a surprise as handwashing is not considered -- other than perhaps in the public health field -- to be an incredibly important part of living.
Anyone who has suffered from pneumonia -- or witnessed a loved one battle with the illness -- knows how scary the episode can be. The lungs fill with fluid, breathing becomes difficult and at times impossible, requiring hospitalization, and without proper treatment, the consequences can be dire. Like many illnesses, this too can be traced back to a germ.
From the moment they enter daycare to the celebrations of high school graduation, kids inevitably come into contact with these unseen entities and many will get sick. But while there may be endless concerns for health, there is a positive in that these moments of unhappiness will end up benefiting their lives as much as if not more than the pains of homework.
According to a recent study, hand hygiene checklists may offer the solution to a problem that annually costs thousands of mothers their lives. The checklist section concerning hand hygiene stated the following: "Supplies available to clean hands and wear gloves for each vaginal exam," and differed from a previous, unsuccessful campaigns by one word: "each."

Fame! Incredibly Fleeting Fame!
My parents and I will be on The One Show this evening, BBC One 7pm, talking about having me living with them (TEMPORARILY, i cannot stress this enough) at my ripe old age. I am fairly confident we're going to come off as raving incompetent psychopaths (they brought a psychiatrist in to deal with us), so watch, marvel, and then feel grateful for your own, better, family.Dec142010
Very exciting news! I am a proud member of a new sketch group with Tom Craine and Dan Antopolski. We have been writing together for about a year now, and have decided to take our stuff out to the people. They didn't ask for it, but they're getting it. We'll be gigging all over the place soon.

Israel fails to provide justification for December Palestinian teen killing
Israeli authorities have provided no evidence that a Palestinian teenager fatally shot in the back in December by Israeli forces posed "any threat to life that would justify such a killing," Human Rights Watch said Sunday.
Wajih Wajdi Al Ramahi, 15, was shot with live bullets in the back by an Israeli sniper in front of his school on Dec. 7 in Al Jalazun refugee camp near Ramallah.
Locals told Ma'an that the area where al-Ramahi was shot had no clashes or any kind of rock-throwing incidents that might have provoked the killing.
HRW said that some Palestinian youths had been throwing stones at Israeli soldiers, but they were over 200 meters away and not at risk of being hit.
"Twice this year, Israeli soldiers hiding near schools, apparently to make arrests, have killed children who posed no apparent threat," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch.
"If the past is any guide, these boys' families can look forward to a prolonged, opaque, and fruitless process that does not hold perpetrators to account or deliver justice."
In January 2013, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian teenager during clashes in Budrus near Ramallah.
Samir Ahmad Abdul-Rahim, 17, sustained four bullet wounds to his head, chest and leg and died shortly after arriving at the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.
Israel's military has said it is investigating both incidents, but Israel has indicted only 16 security officials for unlawfully killing Palestinians since 2000, with only six actually being convicted.
The longest jail sentence imposed was seven months, according to rights group Yesh Din.
Israel killed 27 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in 2013, making it the deadliest year for Palestinian fatalities since 2008.
By contrast, in 2012 Israeli security forces killed eight Palestinians in the West Bank and 246 in the Gaza Strip, including at least 167 in its November war on the coastal territory.

Fic: Platonic (Chapter 5/14+Epilogue)
Rating: NC-17
Summary: To be lost in amazement at the love and friendship and intimacy, unable to leave each other's sight, is to be soul mates. These are people who pass their whole lives together. Except for Kurt and Blaine, they missed their first chance and by the time they get their second, perhaps it is simply meant to be…platonic.
Words: 10824/39432
A/N: For a full list of all the awesome people who helped out on this see Chapter One.
I continue to be so pleased with the response to this, I really am a little overwhelmed by it! And now we begin to get into the good stuff and I would honestly advise anyone who has been waiting for this fic to get going, that you jump in now!!
You can also read this on FF.net and my livejournal.
Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three
Chapter Four
Chapter Five
It is a last minute trip, truly last minute, and it comes up only because there's a shop off Oxford Street that is suddenly available. Kurt has been wanting it forever, and he has to move fast. It's only a month, but when he returns to New York, he has a third shop in the works and he is excitable and busier than ever.
For the month he is overseas though, every morning, Blaine wakes up to an email from Kurt, and every evening, Kurt sits down with a coffee, or a glass of wine, to an email from Blaine.
When Kurt gets back the emailing doesn't stop and the texting starts to happen more and neither one of them makes any conscious effort to examine why or stop. It feels too easy, too nice, too much like something that was missing for so long but wasn't really noticed until it was back.
It's pouring rain outside, a mid-spring storm cracking the sky open with lightning and thunder that dulls the sound of New York to a background buzz. Blaine thinks it might be the last serious storm before summer sweeps in and makes everything hot and humid and he is enjoying it accordingly. A bottle of red wine he can't really afford and his duvet waiting for him on the couch, along with a box of steaming noodles already open in his hand.
His phone vibrates on the coffee table and he glances at the clock —8pm on a Thursday—grumbling as he walks because this could only be work with a last minute emergency. It isn't even meant to be his case.
Except it isn't work. It's Kurt, and as much as he has completely avoided acknowledging that in two months of basically becoming best friends they haven't seen each other, they haven't even spoken… it's hard to deny when his phone is ringing and Kurt Hummel's name is plastered over a stock photo of a daffodil.
He stops breathing for a second and hesitates, but even though he has got a mouthful of noodles and he's not wearing any pants, he has to answer. He swallows hard as he says, "Hello?"
It's weird for about sixty seconds, Kurt hesitates and then Blaine hesitates and then it's inane questions about family and work that they've covered in emails. There's a silence that stretches too long until Blaine coughs and says, "How about this storm?"
Kurt laughs then and Blaine's toes curl in the rug on reflex, his heart stuttering because that laugh is just as melodic and breathless as ever. "Is this weird?" Kurt wonders aloud.
Laughing back at him, Blaine says, "Yeah, kind of."
There's silence, still awkward, but it feels good anyway. "I just thought you of all people would appreciate what happened at work today."
"Oh." Another beat. "What happened?"
And then they talk for hours. Blaine's meal goes cold and Kurt wanders into his own kitchen and turns off the stove, deciding he doesn't really need the soup.
It's easier than emails because Blaine can hear the inflection of Kurt's voice and Kurt can hear Blaine chuckle and they can both interrupt to ask questions and give opinions. They talk until 2 in the morning and then they hang up only because Blaine's phone warns him he's down to 5% battery.
There are more phone calls and less emails and neither one of them asks what exactly they're doing, what exactly this is. A week after the first time Blaine calls Kurt, it is still the same back and forth, recounting their days and commenting on the most inane things just because they can.
Kurt tells a story about two of his models getting caught fornicating—that's the word he uses and it makes Blaine laugh—in one of the janitor's closets at a show. Kurt tells the story because he was so mortified he had yelled at them until his cheeks were hot and they were cowering and now he is wondering if he yelled too much.
Blaine is meant to tell him they were being unprofessional. Instead, his voice just drops a little, quiet, conspiratorial: "Do you remember that time Finn walked in on us?" By this point, Blaine's most of the way through a bottle of red, sipping at it as they talk, and the clink of the bottle on the glass again makes him wonder if he's overstepping.
There is a moment of hesitation and Blaine thinks he hears Kurt's breath catch and there's a voice in his mind screaming for him to step back from this, that this is dangerous and could ruin whatever it is they've built up between them.
Then Kurt says, his own voice appropriately low, "That time at school? In the locker rooms?"
Shutting out the voice that begs, 'Don't,' Blaine leans back into the sofa, his hand presses to his belly, hungry but warm and tight. Up over his chest as he shakes his head and replies, "No, the time before that."
"Oh my god," Kurt's voice comes out breathless and high and Blaine can hear it. "When he came home from football practice early? And he walked in…" he trails off.
"That's the one." Blaine blushes at the memory. At least, he thinks it's a blush. "You had me completely naked and your brother must have copped an eyeful."
Kurt scoffs at him. "Finn has seen plenty of naked men before. I'm just not sure he was ready to see one that…" he trails off and then coughs. "That naked, I guess." He pauses and Blaine can still hear him breathing. "It was gay sex Blaine."
Blaine patently ignores his half-hard dick because that is creepy and a little bit confusing. He jokes, "Finn was so not ready for gay sex."
"I don't think my brother will ever be ready for gay sex," Kurt laughs but his voice remains caught and high.
Blaine bites his lip for a moment. "That was the first time you sucked me off, wasn't it?'
"Yeah," breathless, why does he have to be breathless? "You made me," Kurt accuses. "You begged." Why does he have to sound like he's remembering?
Blaine doesn't mean to say it but he does: "Can you blame me?"
"You still really…" Kurt trails off, whatever he was going to say dying on his lips as he seems to realize what he's talking about and with whom he is talking about it. "Wow," he says, and then coughs to clear his throat. "This is really inappropriate, I'm sorry I—"
Cutting him off with a laugh, Blaine rakes a hand through his hair and stumbles over his words. "Yeah. But—I mean, it was, it is. But yeah." Kurt is laughing at him, voice high and melodic again. "You taught me lot. About myself. I never thanked you for that."
Silence stretches and Blaine wonders if he's being even more out of line now than he has been for the entire conversation.
"For our relationship?" Kurt asks.
"Yeah. It was… it was a highlight."
Kurt all but whispers, "I'm glad," and then, "Me too."
There's another stretched silence but they can hear each other breathing and would both swear they can hear each other smiling. Then Kurt makes his excuses and hangs up.
That should be the end of it. It should actually be a good thing, a step in the right direction between two men who are fast becoming close but who need to lose some of the baggage from a long forgotten time. It was a decade ago! Blaine has had a dozen men since then, and if the glimpses into Kurt's sex life are anything to go by, Kurt has had more than twice that.
That shouldn't make him feel jealous. And it shouldn't make him feel turned on. He thinks about Emma, one of the other attorneys in his office, one of his very good friends. They talk about sex stuff and relationship stuff, and it never turns him on.
He can only tell himself so many times it's because she's a woman and Kurt's a very attractive gay man. Friends is all they are, and he has no right to be sitting there with tented sweat pants after less than a minute of anecdote that was more funny than sexy.
Sure, it was an anecdote about him, but it was ten years ago with his now-friend so, no. He presses the heel of his hand into his crotch, hoping to quell his erection, but only moans at how good it feels. He swallows the last of his wine and stares at a nothing point on the wall.
It can't really hurt, can it? Getting off now, with Kurt gone and alcohol in his blood and that perfectly imperfect memory of sloppy mouths and first-time blowjobs so fresh in his brain.
He has, in the past, indulged in fantasies about judges and colleagues and random men on the street. Guys at the gym and at the club and in restaurants. There have never been ramifications.
And he's seen Kurt naked. He's seen Kurt coming. He's seen him wrapped around him and arching for him and getting him off.
Without any further deliberation, but already anticipating the tell-tale twinge of guilt that makes the fantasy slip to some nameless, faceless man, Blaine slides his hands down and slips his pants to mid-thigh.
His cock is hard and red and it bounces from the confines of his underwear to lay heavy against his belly. There's pre-come and an ache that usually takes him a few minutes to build up to. With his fingers wrapped tight around, he moans low and deep and lets his eyes flutter closed.
"You just had to bring up the sex, didn't you?" he murmurs to himself, picturing Kurt. Long, lean, pale Kurt, naked and on his knees with wide blue eyes and his fist around Blaine's cock.
Vision flickering he works his hand and tries to keep Kurt eighteen and inexperienced and his boyfriend. But it's too difficult and, fighting the heat, he pulls his shirt over his head with his spare hand and twists his wrist expertly just below the head of his cock.
With two dozen different conquests under his belt, almost-thirty year old Kurt would be so very good at this, assuming he wanted to be. Blaine is sure Kurt could just lay himself out and get taken, let men come off the perfection of his body, the tightness and the fluidity that Blaine remembers too well.
He's panting as he strokes, trying and not trying to imagine just how Kurt does this now. Naked and on his knees between Blaine's legs and stroking him with deft, talented fingers and a wicked grin. Eyes that know and judge and calculate and are still so blue. Stubble. Blaine wonders if Kurt ever gives head with a few day's growth and then he whines at the phantom rub of whiskers on the insides of his thighs as Kurt mouths over his balls.
Kurt's hands—Blaine hasn't had the chance to look at them in ten years but he will have slightly longer fingers, thinner and more nimble from too many hours with pencils and thread and a sewing machine. Callouses maybe, and long nails to punctuate the burn left by his scratching cheeks. Strong wrists.
"Oh god," he mumbles, wishing he had lube and then curling over himself and letting saliva drip from his mouth to his dick, deciding very quickly that's something he wants to see Kurt do for him. He wants, so desperately, to know whether the inside of Kurt's mouth tastes the same.
He wants so much more.
He loses track of his own hands, just letting them pull and squeeze however feels good and closes his eyes and allows himself this one indulgent fantasy. He refuses to waste it. Skipping from Kurt's hands on his dick to his mouth, fucked red and open and Kurt would be over the embarrassment of saliva and come dripping down his chin by now, he must be, and he'll chase the wet sounds of flesh moving together instead of trying not to giggle.
How many inches can Kurt take now? All of them? On his knees and with his own hand between his legs while he hollows his cheeks and watches Blaine's face as he sinks all the way down and blocks his own throat. Blaine never got to experience that with Kurt, but now maybe dozens of other people have.
Blaine would pull him up, onto his lap and fuck into him from below so hard. Have Kurt straddling his hips and riding him as they kissed until they were light headed and their orgasms took them by surprise.
Kurt on his hands and knees, getting fucked from behind hard enough that he ends up on his belly, the friction of the bed against his dick making him writhe and push back and beg. "Oh god, please Blaine, please. Like that, fuck me like that, Blaine."
Coming when Blaine lets him and then going lax while Blaine doesn't stop, twisting around just enough to capture Blaine's mouth is a messy kiss and beg against his lips, "Come for me. Come inside me."
Blaine moans, his hand moving hard, fast and desperate over his cock, fingers slipping down and toying with his hole, pushing saliva inside with just the barest press of his middle finger.
Kurt pushing him back against blue satin sheets in some nameless hotel and stretching him open on his fingers, making him beg and writhe just like he did the first time back in Ohio, on Blaine's bed, except this time it would be on purpose. Finger after finger and kitten licks to the head of his cock and the crease of his thigh and watching him, knowing him so well he can read the angles of his body without even thinking about it.
Still stretching him out, and not just so he's ready for Kurt to slide deep inside with one fluid thrust, but teasing him so when he does pull Blaine's hips down the bed and fucks into him hard, Blaine comes with a surprised shout, dick untouched and pulsing as Kurt just kisses him through it and thrusts deeper and deeper.
Come kissed off Blaine's belly and into his mouth and Kurt bent over him, fucking into him, deep and slow and languid until Blaine stops shivering with the over-stimulation and telling him it's too much and pleading for a break and his voice starts breaking over the words—
Keep going. Don't stop. Fuck me. Don't ever stop.
He's saying those words and he's saying them loud and clear in his empty apartment and panting for breath, his hips fucking up off the couch into his hand and a finger inside him, a placeholder for so much more, but god it all feels so fucking good.
He stumbles onto the memory, so stark, and Kurt's voice crashes through reality, whispered so close to his ear just like the last time they fucked, back in Ohio, thinking it was nothing special, just another chance to get off together.
"Come for me."
And Blaine strains, hips twisting and sweat dripping from his temple to his chin, lips bitten red and eyes squeezed shut as he imagines Kurt all over him, inside him, his, and comes saying his name. "Kurt, Kurt, Kurt." It twists through him, hot and reckless and the pulse of electricity down his spine, in his blood, makes him gasp and arch higher.
Watching as his cock throbs in his hand and he spills in white streaks that stretch high up his belly and onto his chest, his ass clenching and rocking into it as he shoots over his fingers and drips white through the coarse dark hair at the base of his dick. He holds onto the delicious heat of it for as long as he can, taut and breathless and begging the feeling to never end, chasing the images of someone naked and perfect and so utterly not his until Kurt disappears and he collapses back onto the couch with a sigh.
He still doesn't quite feel guilty. And he doesn't think he should. He loved Kurt once and tonight there were mutual thanks for everything they'd shared. Kurt will never know and there's no harm done and, as he starts to smile, he thinks that may well have been one of the best orgasms he's had in a long time.
He stretches, feeling his muscles tense and unknot and his skin feel too tight and wonderful all at once. Rocking to his feet, grinning and feeling blissed out, he pads barefoot to the bathroom to wipe the come from his chest.
Once he's done that, still grinning at how good his orgasm was, he walks back out into the lounge. He hears the vibration of his phone. It's late now, too late for Kurt to be calling and by the time he is standing over the coffee table he's convinced himself it will be work.
It's Kurt.
And now there is guilt, just a jolt of it right up through him. He has that irrational thought of 'Oh god what if he knows?' and then he shakes it off.
He flicks his phone to answer and does his best to sound normal. "Hi Kurt."
Kurt's voice comes back to him, quiet and intense, just his name, just, "Blaine."
They miss a beat and Blaine can't quite bring himself to ask why Kurt would be calling him after midnight when they only hung up an hour before. Then there's another missed beat and Blaine's about to call his name and make sure the line hasn't dropped out.
"Do you ever think of me?"
Blaine's mind flashes hot and fast to every single fantasy that has flickered behind his eyes in the last hour. The visions and tastes and smells, and hardly any of it means anything really, because he doesn't know Kurt anymore and it can't be what Kurt means. He rolls the phrase over in his mind once, twice, trying to dissect what Kurt is asking.
Do you ever think of me?
He says, "Of course," without really meaning to.
He thinks he hears Kurt suck in a breath a little too quickly. Not quite a gasp, but something. And then Kurt laughs, light and happy.
"It's so ridiculous that we still haven't actually managed to catch up in person," Kurt says. "I would like to."
Eyes falling closed, Blaine tries to imagine Kurt right now. Comfortable in pyjamas and lounging somewhere in his apartment, calling him and wanting to meet up.
"If you'd still like to?" Kurt's question interrupts his thoughts.
Then Kurt starts to ramble, suddenly nervous it seems. "I just mean we could try. If you're not too busy. And I'm not too busy. We could try," he clears his throat. "We could try being friends."
Blaine's mind is somewhere else and his heart is beating too fast. He doesn't mean to ask, but he so, so does. "Do you want to come over for dinner?"
A/N: Does that count as a cliffhanger? I'm never quite sure. Also: yay porn, right? Never have I ever written proper solo-anyone! So this was weird for me. Hope you enjoyed it, thank you so, so much for all the reblogs/likes/messages/reviews/whatever! It is all making me so happy that I wrote this!

If the school board chooses to vacate the Southeast High School building at Lincoln and Edgemoor, then another school is interested in relocating some programs to it.
"Should they make a decision to vacate Southeast, my board is interested in having a dialogue with the school board about partnering to use that facility," said Tony Kinkel, president of Wichita Area Technical College.
At tonight's Wichita School Board of Education meeting, members listened to a presentation by Kinkel regarding his school board's interest in the building.
"We're such good partners already, it has the potential to greatly expand the number of high school students that we can serve, particularly in health care programs, where there's a great need, as well as aviation and manufacturing," said Kinkel.
Several other members of the community spoke out in support of only renovating Southeast High School at its current location.
The school board members are still deciding on whether to renovate the current Southeast High School facilities, relocate and build a new high school at 127th Street East and Pawnee, or both.
The BOE will make a decision next Monday.

Not to be used for sex. (If you want your benefits, that is.)
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-2 Monday to endorse a controversial bill that would allow Arizona employers the right to deny health insurance coverage for contraceptives based on religious objections.
Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for non-reproductive purposes, such as hormone control or acne treatment.
Virginity tests for everyone! Because let's be real, this bill is pretty much on the brink of it. Erin at Jezebel also points out that because Arizona is an at-will employment state, employers could just fire their employees if they object to them being sexually responsible adults. ("Sexually" being the key word here.)
Keep digging that hole, GOP, we'll wait — and will have massive amounts of pre-marital sex while we're at it. (You know, like the rest of the country.)

2013 BMW 7-Series
The new 2013 7 Series arrives in U.S. showrooms in late summer 2012, except for the ActiveHybrid 7 which goes on sale in early fall.
In the States, prices range from $74,195 for the regular-wheelbase 740i to $140,200 for the long-wheelbase 760Li, including an $895 destination and handling fee.
The BMW flagship sedan model boasts a thinly revised fascia with available LED headlights, while the interior is enhanced with a redesigned iDrive system, and the availability of an optional Bang & Olufsen High-End Surround Sound system and a customizable digital instrument display.
Under the sheetmetal, an 8-speed automatic transmission becomes standard on all models while BMW engineers also uprated the suspension.
For 2013, gasoline engine choices include the 760i with the same 537hp (544PS) 6.0-liter bi-turbo V12 as before, the 750i with a tweaked 4.4-liter turbo V8 producing 444hp (450PS / +10%) and 650Nm (479 lb-ft / +8.5%), and the 740i featuring the new N55 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six delivering 315hp (320PS) and 450Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.
There's also the new ActiveHybrid7, in which the outgoing model's 408HP 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 (465hp with the electric motor) has been replaced by the 740i's 315hp (320PS) 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that works together with a 54hp/40kW electric motor. The system's combined output is 349hp (354PS) with a peak torque of 500Nm (369 lb-ft).
Last but not least, the Alpina-branded B7 models that are sold in the States through BMW stores benefit from a revised 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine with direct-injection chruning out 540-horses and 538 lb-ft, coupled to a new 8-speed automatic.

White Gold WHITE GOLD: Gold is a precious metal which is naturally quite soft. To give it a white color and increase its strength, gold is alloyed with white metals, such as silver and/or palladium, and often plated with rhodium.

You know how your energy bills are SO much worse than they were?
Nuke the MPs
I still think that nuclear reactor under the house of commons would be a great idea. A huge cellar right below the debating chamber which would fit the nuclear pile and I can't imagine a more secure location (see Guy Fawkes). The waste heat can go into a nice CHP scheme for Westminster and, if not, there is a huge source of cooling water flowing right outside. It would be a great test of exactly how safe the technology really is nowadays. Once that is up and running, the turbine hall at Tate modern doesn't do much apart from collect ceramic beans and Battersea power station is just waiting to be turned into, well, a power station.
The supercomputers LIED: UK rainfall is rising, but won't drown our phones
Not wanting to pour cold water on a good rant....
If I read this correctly, the graphics have nothing to do with rainfall amount (how much water falls on the ground) but are actually a measure of how often it is raining. So, if it rained a bit for 5 hours a day before but now has torrential downpours for 1 hour a day, this data will show a reduction in rainfall.....is that correct?
2013: No sign of flying cars, but Orange mobes will get black ice
Bait and swtich
Darnit, I saw the headline and was intrigued as to how Orange had produced hacker protection that killed people (Black Ice presumably being the cyberpunk reference). This is a complete let down.
HP warns consumers: Don't downgrade Win8 PCs to Win7
General HP problem
We've just had to replace another bit of HP kit (a printer) because they don't support it's drivers any more. A security update from Microsoft meant that using the HP printer drivers for Windows 7 would crash any application that used the font dialog (!?). There will be no fix so the printer had to go in the bin. A similar thing happened with a top of the range HP laptop I had. A security update stopped bluetooth, IR and sound working. No HP support for the drivers as it was more than a couple of years old. As they say fool me two times.... I won't be buying any more HP kit.
New critical Java flaw claimed
Browser Plugin vs. Server
I wish these articles would specify whether the fault is yet another browser plugin loophole or a real server problem. It only takes a few words and would convert the various scare story headlines into something useful.
No-one I know uses the Java browser plugin or ever has (Cisco kit admin is the only reason anyone would install it and it's easier to just use an F5 instead). Like ActiveX, it's a fundamentally dumb idea from a security point of view. However, server side Java is just a big heap of loveliness that has never let me down.
Leeds' amazing cash-slash plan: BYOD and that cloud thing
Presumably the employees receive a payment for doing BYOD so I do hope that will be investigated as a benefit in kind along with all the licensing of the Microsoft software (Office, Visual Studio etc.) provided by the council and deal with Microsoft querying that every six months because you changed your laptop. After all, their son, daughter or spouse might have used it to do their homework, which would break the license Ts&Cs. Plus of course each employee will have to keep full call records for their mobile phone for 7 years and prove exactly how much of each bill is personal and work use. Then they will have to deal with HMRC querying everything you receive even if the cost to the business is exactly zero and somehow prove it wasn't a benefit in kind in the same way as in the real world.
Bitter, me?
Organic food offers basically no health benefit, boffins find
Shock horror!!
This is a research for marketing/lobbying purposes only. Most people buy organic food because it is less likely to have pesticides, herbicides, added hormones, GM residues not because they think it is healthier in itself. My home grown tomatoes are delicious because I pick them 5 minutes before eating but I don't seriously expect them to be different nutritionally from the same seeds grown elsewhere and sprayed every week. I just expect them not to be covered in pesticides and preservatives.
This is a repeat of the GM research that says eating GM versions of food crops isn't bad for you (also done purely to provide marketing sound bites) . Big whoop - we have a couple of million years of evolution to stop us being damaged by odd DNA in food. What people worry about is GM crops that produce dangerous chemicals cross fertilising with food crops or GM plants with pesticide immunity cross fertilising with native weeds.
Climate change behind extreme weather, says NASA

RIP wind power: Minister blows away plans for more turbines
Free contraception?
The biggest factor in increasing consumption is that more people use more electricity. Maybe we should just stop encouraging breeding quite so much.
Make contraceptive dispensers in pub/club/restaurant loos mandatory and free; rescind all maternity/paternity leave allowances; make it legal to promote/pay people who to turn up for work every day and work late when required in preference to those who only turn up for 8 months in two years and have to "pick up their kids" whenever there is a deadline. It might also be an idea to stop pregnancy being covered by the NHS. After all, it's an optional, lifestyle choice. It would save about £30 billion from the NHS budget. Do all those things and the country's carbon emissions would start to fall pretty darn quickly.
Re: 230 million cups of tea per year!
"Suppose I did not want to sit in a yurt drinking tea, but stand in an office looking out of a window at people operating my aluminium smelter?"
Funnily enough, almost every aluminium smelter in the world is run from renewable power. It's the first rule in the "where do I put my aluminium smelter" rulebook. I believe Google also bought an old, out of use plant because it had it's own hydroelectric dam and could power their data centre.
BT fibre-to-the-cabinet rollout penetrates 73 more exchanges
Just had a good check with http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/

The true, tragic cost of British wind power
Re: The anti-nuclear barrier
Couldn't agree more. Build a bunch of nuclear power stations asap. In order to minimise transmission losses and allow easy export of any excess to Europe, bung them in London or the south east.
US entertainment lawyer casts doubt on Megaupload case
In the UK, the legal cases brought by local councils on Sunday trading failed because the supermarkets countered with "You can't shut us down and take us to court unless you can afford the compensation if we are found not guilty". Does the same apply for the US vs. MegaUpload? After all, the US are $15 trillion in debt and are running at a loss.
UK.gov marches on with solar 'leccy cash slash by spring
The big problem with this is not the reduction in FIT, which I think everyone agrees is probably a bit high. The problem is the way it has been done. There is a system in place for annual reductions in FIT rate. The government could easily have said that this years reduction will be larger than previously announced because solar PV FIT is so successful that the price of installs has gone down. Nobody would have complained and it would be a success story. People would decide if it was still worthwhile and not bought solar PV if it wasn't. Instead it appears that the government might reduce the value of these very long term investments on a whim with no notice.
Let's say you are thinking of installing a ground source heat pump say (I was) and relying on the RHI to make it a good/reliable investment rather than a bit of a punt that might lose you your pension (I was). If you think the government is likely to cancel the RHI/FIT in the period between paying for the installation and getting it certified (it takes at least 12 weeks if you need planning) then you just aren't going to bother with the hassle of doing it.
Better to invest in Italian government bonds instead. Much better return at over 7%. After all, if Italy reneges on it's debts it's zombie apocalypse time regardless of my pension plans.
BT biz broadband staggers to its feet after 4-hour titsup

Nuke support in UK hits record high
At the risk of repeating myself...
I'll be happy to go with nuclear power when it's so safe that Battersea power station is converted to nuclear generation.
Plastic semiconductor makes solar cells more efficient
How long does plastic last in the sun?
Not sure why there is an argument about what 50% is. From 20% to 44% is over a 100% increase in efficiency (using newspaper language) or a 24% increase in efficiency to anyone with a brain.
I do wonder what the effect of UV light on pentacene would be. Most plastics left outside barely last 5 years.
Strictly Come Dancing in 3D: the facts
Not a good programme to pick
Strictly already suffers from too many pointless cuts, zooms and general rushing about of cameras. I can't imagine the 3D experience will be too pleasant to watch as it needs a steadier picture for your vision to adjust.
Concerns over plan to boost pharma by releasing NHS data
Show me the money
I've been suggesting this for ages along with asking why the NHS doesn't research and sell it's own drugs. It seems like a fairly reasonable bargain between patient and state to say "We treat you for free but your data is available to research new drugs and treatments to pay for it". Other countries have made substantial amounts of money by allowing access to national health data.
I haven't seen anything on how much we are asking for it though.
Copyright industry opposes ISPs' proposed regime
Goose, gander
Would it be reasonable for the ISP to apply the 3 strikes principal to the content lawyers i.e. If they falsely accuse someone 3 times then all future requests for information or action will be ignored.
Microsoft to Aussie gov: Privacy rules stifle e-Health
Couldn't agree more
The EU has legislation about personal data that say all personal data from or passing through the EU must be handled to the same level of security/privacy as data held in the EU. Almost no US companies (or outsourced call centres for that matter) comply with that one either.
One day an enterprising lawyer will realise and we'll have a nice bonfire of the outsourcers. The NoTW invaded privacy actively, but there isn't much difference in the final result between going through someone's bins for personal information and leaving personal information insufficiently protected on the internet.
Solar-powered data centre won't get IBM very far...
Seems like a good idea
Presumably as server hardware costs a fraction of the power it takes over the servers lifetime you can do a literal "follow the sun" virtualisation scheme with several data centres around the world. All the racks have to have UPS battery backup anyway so short periods of no sun aren't a problem. Add in a local swimming pool or town to take the heat extracted by the AC systems and you are onto a really good thing. I'm not sure exactly how much heat a fully populated blade enclosure chucks out but I suspect it is enough to supply hot water to several houses.
Greens threaten to sue over solar 'leccy cash slash
Wow - biased much?
"market-rigging mechanism" as opposed to incentive is just the start
'Leccy price hike: Greens to blame as well as energy biz
Calculate it for yourself...
I'm amazed how many register readers can't operate a spreadsheet.
A 4kWp solar system (the biggest you can install without reducing your FIT rate or the power company complaining) costs:
- £15,000 if you go for the super fab latest panels
- £12,000 if you go for cheaper ones (but with the same guarantees)
- £9,000 if you install it yourself (admittedly unlikely)
I've ignored the discounts you can get through group buying of up to 20%.
With southern UK solar incident radiation at ground level (someone else posted the EU site for that) I generate roughly 4000 kWh per year (3940 as calculated but everyone I know with a PV system has achieved better than that). Working on the £15k system with no FIT and using all the generated power (i.e. ignoring the export income) and with inflation of 5% a year I will be at payback after 10 years and be better off by £40,000 in 25 years (although I'd expect the panels to continue generating for a while after that).
With the FIT I will be at payback after 5 years and £100,000 better off in 25 years (or £30,000 if you correct for the value of money by allowing for inflation - 340% over 25 years).
In the interest of being fastidiously fair, I'd probably have to replace the £2,000 inverter twice in 25 years (they tend to only last 10 years on average). On the other hand, electricity prices are going up faster than inflation because of all those renewable power installations (!?)
I really can't understand why new houses don't all have solar panels by default. Mine are paying a couple of months of my mortgages each year.
On a much more frivolous and badly researched note, if I used the generated power to charge a Tesla roadster and use it for business travel (no company car tax on electric cars by the way so I can buy the car out of pre-corporation tax profits) I would also get another £4,000 in mileage (10,000 miles at 40p a mile, tax free and I don't need to buy any petrol). That and the FIT would pay for the Tesla and the solar panels after only 11 years.
Google Linux servers hit with $5m patent infringement verdict
Boycott East Texas
Surely it's not beyond the wit of man for Cisco, MS, Google, Redhat and Apple and a couple of others to just exclude east Texas from their terms of use. Add a condition that any patent infringement due to ignoring those terms of use is the users responsibility and you are away. Pretty sure the Texas voters would demand a change pretty quick after that.
Wind power: Even worse than you thought
2 small points
Some interesting points. However:
Wind Power and Solar Power complement each other nicely. When it's not windy, it tends to be sunny and when it's not sunny it tends to be windy. So, if you are looking at the big picture and get the mix right, the variability of output is less of a problem.
Also, the report gives numbers for output to the grid, not for generation. Few installations of wind power are just for power generation for the grid. It actually pays better to generate the power and use it yourself. For example, the 3 big turbines at Bristol docks export very little to the grid. Most of their output goes to power the docks.
Of course, if you are a nuclear power lobbyist (albeit unpaid).....
Microsoft wraps Windows 8 in Ribbon UI?
Aha - the tried and tested "if you don't like it you must be old and scared of change" gambit. I counter that with the "You are too young to know any better" defence and raise you a "Shiny toys for little boys" taunt.
Personally I find the ribbon UI has all the bad points of that damned paperclip as far as guessing (badly) what I might be trying to do while also taking vast amounts of screen space for no useful reason.
South West Trains puts squeeze on commuters
Under great heat and pressure diamonds are formed (!?)
Personally, I find 1st class seats are too narrow to get comfortable in so this is just insane.
For empirical testing, I just stood next to my training partner after a swimming session. Two slim men with a total shoulder width of 110cm. The person in the middle seat with the remaining 19cm (7.5") to sit in is going to have a really tight time of it. If we attempt to actually do some work or read a paper then we are going to be bumping elbows even if there is no-one in the middle seat.
IDC: Everything but Unix on the rise
Bad stats?
Personally, I find it's often cheaper to buy a Windows server and un-install Windows before popping a Unix OS on there. Probably related to the server distributors receiving a payment for each Windows box they ship. Not sure how that affects the statistics.
NO-SH*T CURE FOR BALDNESS discovered by accident
Side effects

Microsoft sends IE9 'do-not-track' tech to W3C
Finally, MS get something right
I think the Firefox approach is much weaker than the MS IE9 one. The Firefox approach is like the UKs telephone exclusion lists (which only stop me getting calls from ethical companies).
Government put brakes on Bribery Act
Policies and procedures
So I send my new employees an email with a link to a folder containing 20,000 pages of policy documents, which no-one actually reads, one of which has a list of crimes I shouldn't commit. By doing that, any offences committed are the fault of the employees and not the business (as per the landmark Tesco case).
Sci/tech doctorate protects you from unemployment – in the US
Unemployed nuclear physicist (will build bombs for food)
I would be more interested if they had broken it down into people doing jobs related to their degree. Is could just be that people with Sci/Tech degrees have no compunction about taking a crappy job if there is nothing else available? Well at least until the next Dictator with big ambitions comes along.
Who will rid me of these obsolete PCs?
WEEE stops the skip approach
I worked with a large company in the UK who had the same problem. Tax compliance and book-keeping effort meant that giving them away or selling them to staff would cost more than the new PCs. Their solution was to recondition the old PCs (make as many working ones as possible out of the pile of parts) and then allow it to become common knowledge that they would be disposing of them in a skip on site on a certain day (a health and safety email to be careful while the PCs were being loaded into the skip was usual). The next day the empty skip would be used to dispose of the non-working PCs and parts.
Unfortunately, this is no longer possible as you have to get an WEEE certificate for every PC you get rid of.

Feds seize 70 'filesharing, dodgy goods' sites
Legal process is there to avoid cockups
The US government doesn't have a reputation for accuracy or independence so the fact that they are closing down sites makes people think "I'm not doing anything wrong (as far as I am aware) but I could be next because of a typo or a snarky corporate lawyer. Then what would I do?". I doubt many people would object to the seizing of a site proven to be selling unsafe counterfeit electrical goods or insecticide ridden counterfeit clothing but without real information the assumption is "US government starts shutting down sites because big corporation asked them nicely".

Provincial outrage over BT's broadband upgrade race

How Ellison could fight Google's Android - without lawyers
Spot on.
I've struggled repeatedly against the quirks of different phone implementations of J2ME and MIDP and eventually given up. When you have code that has a 1000 case switch statements in order to cope with all the different phone models you want your app to run on, you know it is never going to get through testing.
Cinema chain bans laptops, tablets
Vue auto-termination
I regularly go to the cinema with my Android phone. I often take my whole team. We rather enjoy a decent break in the Directors Suite when coding becomes too much or we just need a break from the office to do a time boxed discussing of something with the rather handy deadline of "the film starts in 20 minutes". We have Nagios set up to priority text us (on vibrate) if anything goes squiffy and if it does we can VPN and SSH to any servers we need.
I wouldn't trust a minimum wage hot dog wallah with my sparkly new phone or to fetch me if it received a text and the disturbance if they did would be far worse than me looking at a text message and thinking "not a problem".
If I can't take the phones, we'll have to find the Nerf guns again and just won't go to the cinema.
People have NO BLOODY IDEA about saving energy
Measure the darn things or you'll never know
I got myself a lovely little power meter (http://www.thegreenstoreonline.co.uk/default.aspx/Page/97/Product/546) that goes in between the socket and the plug. Having tested everything in the house, the biggest electricity users were:
1. Garden lights - these used 200 watts continuously whether they were on or off due to the abysmal design of the transformer. They were plugged in and switched on all the time (with a light meter to actually turn the lights on at dusk for a couple of hours) - 5kWh per day
2. My Old PC - 5 year old box that I use for XP/IE6 testing. This used 400 watts when shutdown and only 50 watts more when in use. Again, horrifically bad PSU design - 10kWh per day
But, by far the worst culprit was my cat, which managed to turn on the immersion heater on our hot water tank. It was on for 6 months before anyone noticed i.e. the electricity board did a real reading rather than estimating. We got a electricity bill for over £1,000 and the cat got spayed for it's trouble - about 70kWh per day
Glass Recycling
Just for interest, one of the reasons recycled glass helps is that some recycled glass added to a new batch of ingredients in a glass furnace acts as a catalyst (sort of) and reduced the heat input required by about 10%. As it takes a huuuge amount of energy to make glass this is actually a large saving.
Ellison wrestles Google to strangle 'unofficial' Java
Waste of space
Presumably, they just reclassify Android phones as desktop Unix boxes (admittedly very small boxes) with a mobile card. I can plug an external monitor, keyboard and mouse into mine, it has a couple of gig of memory, the internal screen is the same resolution as my old desktop and it has a faster processor so I don't really see the difference.
Premium rate rants plummet again
What about 0800/0845
My phone package includes a ridiculous number of all network minutes and I never call premium lines if I can avoid it. So, my biggest gripe is 0800/0845 numbers. They are the only calls I pay extra for. It seems very odd that BT can still call them freephone/local rate numbers.

I was reading this article thinking "wow - this guy really has some issues with electric cars - did his mother do something unfortunate with the milkman?" - then I realised it was by Lewis "my middle name is Texaco" Page and it all made sense.
Just for information, I drive a Vauxhall Astra with just over 100,000 miles on the clock. Most of the components are on their last legs. The suspension is going. I've already replaced most of the engine and air-con. It spends most of the time with its engine management warning light on, burns nearly as much oil as it does petrol and the likelihood of a winsome young lady asking for a ride in it is practically zero. I would much rather be the owner of a Tesla which might need its battery pack replacing.
Given that I get feed in tariff on all the electricity I use to charge it up (yes, I get paid for filling the tank/battery) and my company can buy me one tax free, I'm just waiting for my solar roof to be installed and the price to come down a bit before I get mine.
Small firms say UK taxes are strangling growth
Couldn't agree more
The problem is not the amount the business has to pay in tax (20% small business corporation tax is not unreasonable, VAT is paid by the customer in the end and NI is manageable or zero depending on how you remunerate people). The problem is the amount of time and effort it takes to pay it and the barrier that makes to growing from a few directors to anything bigger. The chap saying he pays £7 in tax administration per £1 profit is probably about probably right once you include opportunity cost, lawyers and accountants.
A couple of examples:
1. Corporation tax:
Excluding day to day record keeping, it took two directors and an accountant 2 weeks to finalise our company accounts last year. That was just going from accurate up to date electronic accounts in 2008 format to the same thing in a format acceptable to the HMRC in 2009.
10 days x (£500 per day + £800 per day + 8 x £200 per hour) = £29,000
1 new starter I won't be employing.
It took a director and a lawyer to check all our new contracts for IR35 compliance and negotiate any changes required with the customers. Roughly a day of the directors time for each customer (excluding travel expenses) and an average of 3 hours of a contract lawyer.
Cost: 10 new clients x ( 1 x £800 per day + 3 x £200 per hour) = £14,000
Another half a new starter I won't be employing.
I have plenty of profitable work for an extra member of staff and would love to stop working weekends but I'm unwilling to do so because I would also have to pay for extra accountancy, lawyering and a clerical assistant (all of whom are pure cost) to handle the tax and other admin involved. I haven't included time for training and mentoring on the downside as I secretly quite enjoy that bit. However, I would have to spend a bunch of my time sorting out H&S policies, employment contracts, pensions et al. At a point when the directors are the main contributors to the company profits that is problematic.
But the biggest factor by far is that I do IT because I enjoy creating systems and getting a team of very bright people to build something we are proud of and that does what the customer wanted. I don't do it because I enjoy paperwork.

Terry Stoker
Ontario, California
1933 Ford Roadster
You might think that Terry Stoker is a nostalgic guy. One look at any of the cars he builds with his son, David, at Stoker's Hot Rod Factory in Upland, California, demonstrates that his automotive taste is firmly grounded in the well-loved vintage styles of the '50s and '60s. But Terry Stoker also told us that he has a habit of building a car and then selling it once it's finished and he's had some fun with it. It's a practical necessity when you're always thinking about the next exciting project.
Photographer Tim Sutton got these shots of Terry's classically retro '33 roadster shortly after it had made its public appearance at the Del Mar Nationals—at the end of a quick five-month build.
The previous owner, Lynn Pew, had intended to finish it, and had collected about 90 percent of the parts, but could never find the time to complete the project. In addition to building enough hot rods to hold his own show, Lynn Pew has had a career as a GM executive—and combined those two interests by commissioning custom trucks by well-known pro builders and designers and selling them through GM in Southern California.
Terry acquired the '33 as a roller and, although there was lot of work to do (and some to undo) it was good raw material for the late-'50s hot rodding styling he wanted. One area that needed immediate attention was the frame, which had twisted—not enough to notice until it was time to try to make things fit. The 'rails were repaired, reinforced with crossmembers, and treated to early era suspension goodies—from a dropped I-beam axle and buggy springs to front and rear drum brakes and a quick-change rearend. Continuing with that style, the Wescott 'glass roadster body is devoid of hardware, emblems, and trim, and was finished in a classic hot rod shade of black—with a contrasting canvas top.
The rear BFGoodrich Silvertown tires on 16-inch Ford steelies roll under the power of a 350/350 engine and transmission combo. The small-block is topped with a single Carter four-barrel on an Offy intake. Terry cut the drivetrain to fit between the column-shifted transmission and Halibrand quick-change rear. Terry designed the interior and turned the construction over to Elegance Auto Interiors, where the two-tone copper and wheat upholstery was stitched.
Between the time Terry finished the '33 and now, he and David have turned their attention to building some more amazing rods—not for themselves but for customers at Stoker's Hot Rod Factory. Earlier this year, the Stokers competed for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award with the light blue '60s-style Deuce they built for Bill Grant.
As with that '32 AMBR contender and just about every other hot rod Terry builds, this beautiful '33 brings out a sense of nostalgia for hot rods of the past. It also bring out a sense of anticipation for the future, as we wait to see what Terry will build next.

Use an Aircard 555 with OS X
We're preparing an Aircard 555 data-only driver for OSX 10.2 for release and frantically working to get the legalities worked out. This driver has a full installer so you don't have to hack your system to make it work. Everything we've seen so far is very exciting.
In addition, our team is working to get as many of the features of this amazing card working as possible....including authentication, which for this first release will require a Windows PC.
Stay tuned.... I'll post more info next week.

Someone out there will be disappointed to know that this word exists. A year or two ago I saw a website where these linguistic phenomena were described as "eggcorns". The tongue-in-cheek name came from a person who misheard the word "acorn" and actually wrote it as "eggcorn", which was especially significant because you could easily compare an acorn to an egg as well as a kernel of corn.
My neice told me that she wanted to come out of her room and that she was ready to act like a "human bean" now.
It is only "an herb" etc, if the speaker is too lazy to prounouce the H"."
I guess I'm a tech geek and didn't know it… I use the word webinar a lot; in fact, I DO webinars a lot – that's how I demo my company's s/w products to customers …
Yeah, "webinar" is a pretty commonly used word in my office.
Rich Arik–In American English, "an herb" is correct, assuming you're talking about parsley, sage, etc. We don't pronounce the H.
You might as well face it, Youre a dickhead in love. " from Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love."
I always thought it was "Tent Devil in a tree toad" (in Bruce Springsteen's Tenth Avenue Freeze Out"). But I might be wrong.
Bingo Jet Had a Light On (instead of Big Old Jet Airliner … don't carry me too far away.)
I still think the first line of "Big Yellow Taxi" is "The gay paradise put up a parking lot."
Hey, you know what's funny? I used to think that a human being was a human bean.

Full Disclosure
mailing list archives
There are or at least used to be limits to commandline args in VMS.
I seem to recall that for foreign commands the limit is 255 or 256;
nothing longer gets passed. This stuff has been in DCL for years.
Now, it is possible that recent versions might have extended this
limit, but it is very difficult in VMS to have anything of unbounded
size...too many internal calls work by descriptor, where a hard limit
is enforced, so the odd case that does not tends to be protected somewhat.

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Re: Unzip *ALL* verisons ;))
No one can compile unzip with debug info? :)
I looked at this on Windows. Unzip5.52 fixed a buffer overflow
in the do_wild() function in all the ports.
However, in vms\vms.c, there's still an unbounded strcpy call copying
wld to last_wild. I don't know if there are any bounds to command line
args in VMS, but if the first arg can be >256 chars, there's a buffer
overflow there.
In process.c, in process_zipfiles(), there's the following code:
char *p = lastzipfn + strlen(lastzipfn);
G.zipfn = lastzipfn;
strcpy(p, ZSUFX);
The fix for the do_wild() buffer overflow was to cap the string at FILNAMSIZ
chars. So if we get to this point, then the strcpy of the ZSUFX will
cause a slight buffer overflow of lastzipfn which typically points to
G.matchname or a static matchname char array. It'd be really hard to
exploit too, but I'm just mentioning it.
The other possible buffer overflow is the Info macro in unzpriv.h.
Code would end up using sprintf() to the
slide array which is 32KB if MALLOC_WORK is NOT defined.
I can't repro a segfault/access violation in the Win32 version of
unzip 5.52 though unless I set the first argument to >32K via code. But you
cannot create a Win32 process with a command line longer than 32K for
WinXP+, (<= 2K on Win2K).
With the Win32 DLL, it'd be possible for an app to pass in an arg
that's >32K chars.
Maybe on Unix with an arg that is a lot larger than 32K chars.
Also a long environment variable may cause a buffer overflow.
Updating the Info macro to use snprintf() would be the 'correct' thing
to do. But all ports may not support snprintf() and the Info
macro is used in many places.
Adjusting all the uses of the Info macro to pass in the buffer size
would take a long time. Time to whip out your favourite scripting language
and write some code.
You can use the C runtime (if it's ANSI-compliant) to avoid the Info macro's
buffer overflow by passing a precision value for the string args.
Here's a quick patch - I arbitrarily chose 512 as the max chars displayed:

Nine hurt in Quebec crashes
Ottawa CitizenPublished: Saturday, November 29, 2008
OTTAWA - Nine people have been taken to hospital in Hull with minor injuries after two separate incidents minutes apart on a slippery road just outside of Gatineau Park.
Gatineau police said at 12:29 p.m. Saturday, two vehicles travelling in opposite directions on Mountain Road collided because of the slippery conditions, and veered off the road.
Minutes later, at 12:32 p.m., a car spun out on the same stretch of the road.
In the first incident, each vehicle carried a man, woman and a child. In the second incident, a woman and her two children were inside. All nine people were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The road was still blocked at 2:30 p.m., from Vanier Street to Baillie Street, as public works crews put salt on the road and the cars were towed away. At that time, Gatineau police expected it would reopen shortly.

Multiple Sclerosis Health Center
MS Patients Say Mobility Is Top Problem
Speak Up, Help Is Available continued...
In terms of mobility issues, "there are so many different areas to pursue," he says. Several mobility aids -- including canes, walkers, and electronic wheelchairs -- are available to help people with MS, he says. According to the surveys, 32% of people with MS do use some type of mobility aid to get around. Of these, 37% said they are embarrassed by their use of such aids.
"The tendency to underuse mobility devices is something we really want to address in the future," LaRocca says.
The first step is to evaluate the walking problem and identify the best strategies to improve it, he says. In addition to mobility aids, other tools are available depending on the problem. Exercise braces or electrical stimulation can help foot-drop (a compensatory technique that involves raising the heel on the stronger leg to make it easier to swing the weaker leg through); time and energy management can help curb MS-related fatigue, and there are drugs that can slow the disease course as well as treat spasticity and fatigue, he says.
Exercise can also help improve mobility problems among people with MS. "Seek out advice for a physical or occupational specialist to help develop an exercise program," says Brian Hutchinson, PT, MSCS, president of the Heuga Center for Multiple Sclerosis in Edward, Colo.
"People with MS can see the same benefits of regular exercise as people without MS," he says.
Acorda is investigating a drug called Fampridine-SR, which may improve walking ability in people with MS.

Great treats
posted 5 years ago
These are great for helping your little critters get used to your hands. They will eagerly follow the treat into you open palm and will soon be used to your hands, which makes picking them easier. Too many can spoil their appetite and they won't eat their regular food.
Pros: Little guys loved it
Cons: too much can be a bad thing

Q:I dont mind that others want prostitutes. Some women, and men, sadly, do have to do that for a living, and I dont get why you can be paid for it, and be in porn, but cant get paid for it in a motel.
Lets see if I can fine something else to ask...
Whats your take on different types of government? Whats the best kind, in your eyes? What would your new system be, if you could make one?
Hmmmm, I definitely believe in a democracy but then think people are pretty stupid too.. so I don't know how well that works.
I also don't believe in Anarchy - because, again, most people are too stupid.
And then I don't know if I believe in Kings and Queens and dictatorship.
I am really torn on the subject… I guess a democracy with a few different leaders and/ or parties.
