WASHINGTON, September 23, 2013 — The House issued a challenge to the Obama Administration this week. It passed a budget resolution that funds the government into December, but defunds Obama's signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act.
The Senate won't pass the House bill, nor will President Obama sign it. If a continuing resolution isn't passed and signed by the start of Fiscal 2014 on October 1, the government may be forced to "shut down."
SEE RELATED: John Boehner's Obamacare victory dance
If Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling by mid-October, the government may again be forced to shut down. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew says that the Treasury will exhaust all its tricks to stay under the current debt ceiling within four weeks.
The current jockying over spending and the debt ceiling have put the GOP under attack for risking the government's credit. The two issues aren't the same, but they are fundamentally linked. President Obama refuses to negotiate on the debt ceiling, and has said that he will not allow Republicans to tie it to the budget.
The debt ceiling acts as a constraint on government debt. If Congress increases the debt ceiling too often or too easily, it sends a signal to investors that the government is unserious about controlling debt. The government's credit and ability to service debt will eventually be impaired.
In order for Congress to prudently manage its debt, it must balance its budget. Refusing to raise the debt ceiling without balancing the budget is inconsistent with financial prudence. If Congress refuses to raise the ceiling without balancing the budget, it really will damage our national credit.
SEE RELATED: BREAKING: No Fed stimulus reduction for now. Stocks soar
It would be better for Congress to move the country to a balanced budget than to shut the government down by refusing to raise the debt ceiling. Shutting down the government through the debt ceiling may cut spending, for instance by eliminating funding for air traffic control, but it's a blunderbuss rather than a knife. Rather than lopping off what we don't need, it will put holes in everything. It is better to have a well thought out balanced budget that cuts out unnecessary spending, restrains entitlement, and promotes government efficiency.
House Speaker John Boehner has suggested that raising the debt ceiling be tied to spending cuts over the next ten years, the proposal that Obama has rejected. A better option might be to tie it to a change in the federal budget baseline.
Under the Deficit Control Act of 1985, better known as "Graham-Rudman-Hollings" or "Graham-Rudman," the budget baseline was set at the previous year's budget, without any adjustments for inflation. In 1997 the act was amended to include not only inflation adjustments, but an additional 3 percent. This has allowed fiscal liberals to accuse fiscal conservatives of cutting the budget even when they allow it to grow faster than the pace of inflation.
A return to the original Graham-Rudman baseline calculation would do more to bring the federal budget under control than the sequester, another element of Graham-Rudman. The sequester has slowed the rate of budget growth, but by less than would a return to the Graham-Rudman baseline.
SEE RELATED: Obama tweets on House vote: "They actually did it!"
None of this is consistent with Obama's desires. His interest is in eliminating the sequester and increasing spending beyond current levels. But at this point a break is essential, and even more essential than holding firm on the debt ceiling.
At some point the government must spend within its limits. It can continue to borrow in financial markets only as long as lenders are confident they will be repaid. The Fed's decision to continue its program of quantitative easing — the creation of $85 billion per month out of thin air, which it uses to buy government bonds and mortgage-backed equities — is vastly expanding the pool of currency. With growing federal deficits, the markets will eventually believe that the pull of inflation is inevitable.
Lenders do not want to be repaid with inflated dollars. Governments are infamous for repaying lenders with inflated currency. Inflation is a tool used by functionally bankrupt governments to restructure their debt and impose a hidden tax increase on unsuspecting tax payers. Our government may be planning to pay for its continued deficits from an inflation tax.
The alternative will be an actual tax increase. In a weak recovery, that will take money from the private sector that it can't afford to lose. It will replace efficient private spending with inefficient public spending, reducing growth and raising unemployment.
Only 47 percent of adults in this country have a full-time job as it is. The fall in unemployment figures are due to people leaving the work force or finding part-time jobs. In this tepid economy, a tax hike is not a wise idea.
The budget must move back to balance. A continuing resolution that cuts spending and forces the budget baseline downward on the way to a true budget is a good way to get there. Refusal to raise the debt ceiling probably is not. And raising the debt ceiling while doing nothing to slow the growth of the budget will be the worst outcome of all.

Project: Certification of Usability Professionals
Report from CHI 2002
There were three events at or around the SIGCHI 2002 Conference, including a UPA Minnesota Chapter meeting.
A Proposed Scheme for Certifying Usability Practitioners
Facilitated by Julie Nowicki and Nigel Bevan
Attended by 35 people.
- A majority were familiar with ISO 13407.
- Only a few had taken the certification survey.
- Based on the introduction given at the SIG, 16 indicated they would probably apply for certification, 3 would not, and 16 were undecided.
- It was suggested that CPE could do a subspecialty on software to cover usability.
- It was suggested that candidates should have some options to choose from for certification, so everyone wouldn't be expected to be competent in all aspects.
- In terms of submitted case studies, how would reviewers assess individual efforts in a team project?
- Should certification include a competency as a team member?
- What should be included in the competency and what should it be called -- the ongoing problem with the label "usability professional" being interpreted as usability testing only?
Other questions included:
- Are we planning to restrict it to software or include hardware?
- What would be the individual cost? How are we going to finance the effort?
- How will we get consistency among assessors about what is acceptable?
- Who would the peer reviewers be and what exactly would they do?
- Will certification be graded or all-or-nothing?
- What if someone hadn't performed all the required competencies in the case studies (projects) in which they'd participated?
How can usability be certified? A Practical Test of Your Skills
Facilitated by Rolf Molich
Tested participants' ability to identify problems in plans for a user-based evaluation of a web site, and to suggest how to improve error-handling in some car rental web pages. The conclusions included:
- This type of problem-solving questions would be excellent for self-assessment, but would be very difficult to use for a certification exam because of the wide range of potentially acceptable answers.
- There was an apparent cultural bias in some of the model answers (e.g. against humor).
- Should the solutions be quick fixes or fundamental design changes? There are several potential solutions, and lots of scope for intelligent disagreement.
- A lot of the benefit is in the discussion of the potential solutions.
- The test only covers ecommerce.
- The ability to answer depends on previous experience with the ecommerce
domain and particular type of content. It assumes consultancy experience.
Minneapolis UPA Chapter Meeting
Julie Nowicki explained the certification plans at a meeting with 13 members of the Minneapolis UPA local chapter, and got a generally positive response, with 10 interested in being certified and 3 not sure.
There was some discussion of what type of design skills should be required of a usability professional. Suggested areas for elective skills were: accessibility, internationalisation, and expertise in specific domains such as web, hardware or software. The majority felt that a usability professional needs to be able to design a screen, as in some organisations if they don't do it, nobody will.

Two dozen cheerleaders fan out across the blue floor in a blur of Spandex and muscle. A teetering human pyramid three stories high rises out of nowhere, then dissolves just as quickly, as athletic bodies flip and fall to the floor.
After two-and-a-half minutes of nonstop spinning, throwing and catching, the music comes to a halt, with everyone frozen in their post-routine poses. Everyone except Kali Seitzer, one of the team's main flyers, who makes a desperate bolt for the gym's side exit, where she involuntarily empties the contents of her stomach.
Minutes later, she's back on the mat. It doesn't matter that a knee injury has left her out of practice. She's ready to go through the routine one more time.
Stealth All Stars Phoenix is a competitive cheer team based in Costa Mesa that defies the traditional image most people have of cheerleading. As an All-Star club team, Phoenix doesn't cheer for others. They cheer for themselves – and with good reason.
Related: 5 Questions With ... Coach Michael May
Earlier this month, the team won the National Cheerleaders Association's All-Star Championship, the largest cheerleading competition in the world, with more than 22,000 athletes representing nearly 1,000 teams from 39 states.
"A lot of people are still hung up on a certain stereotype of what a cheerleader is," said Coach Michael May, a former Texas high school football player. "The old definition no longer works."
Competitive cheerleading looks more like peppy, synchronized gymnastics than anything you might see at a homecoming game. At any given moment, half a dozen tumblers (see glossary) might be flipping across the spring-loaded practice mat, as another half-dozen flyers are thrown 25 feet into the air.
"It really appeals to today's ADD culture. It's gymnastics, dance, stunts, tumbling, jumping, baskets," said May, who made it clear that they are not gymnasts.
"We are our own sport. We have our own identity."
Stealth Phoenix may be one of the best cheer teams in the world, but they haven't been for long. Last year was their first season; they took third in both the NCA championship in Texas and the Worlds invitational in Florida.
The team may have risen quickly, but the talent was already there, culled together by May, who has been cheering on some of the best teams in the country for over a decade. Almost everyone on Phoenix coaches high school cheer or other club teams. Some run their own gyms.
But the team was still just a smorgasbord of individual talent that happened to go further than anyone expected. It had yet to come together fully as a team, May said.
This year, May says people are keeping their egos in check, which has translated into an improved team dynamic and stronger work ethic.
"It has to do with the chemistry of the team. It really is a family," May said. "They can depend on and love the person that's standing next to them... they're never alone."

'Lawless' Synopsis
"We control the fear, you understand? Without the fear, we are all good as dead." Acclaimed director John Hillcoat (THE ROAD, THE PROPOSITION) delivers a thrillingly vivid slice of American outlaw history in his epic gangster tale, LAWLESS. LAWLESS is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: three bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. Based on author Matt Bondurant's fictionalized account of his family, "The Wettest County in the World," the film gathers an ensemble of gifted, dynamic new-generation stars – Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska, Dane DeHaan – alongside two of the finest actors of their generations, Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman. A riveting, intense story of crime and corruption, loyalty and love, brutality and tenderness, LAWLESS is a rich addition to the American gangster canon. In the mountains of Franklin County, Virginia, the Bondurant brothers are the stuff of legend. The eldest, Howard (Jason Clarke), managed to survive the carnage of the Great War, but he returned home unmoored by what he had seen and done. His brother Forrest (Tom Hardy) nearly died from the Spanish Flu that took his parents. He beat back death with a quiet strength and ferocious, visceral invincibility that came to define him. Jack (Shia LaBeouf) is the youngest sibling, impressionable, sensitive, smart. Times are tough and jobs are scarce, but the Bondurants are entrepreneurs and have built a thriving local business by concocting an intense and popular brand of moonshine. But Franklin County's bootlegging days are about to end with the arrival of Special Deputy Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce) from Chicago. The new "law" Rakes brings is lethal and corrupt and will challenge everything the brothers have built and represent. But while the rest of the county gives in to Rakes' ruthless crackdown, the Bondurants will bow to no one. As the family rallies to fight Rakes, the fraternal dynamic shifts. Jack's ambitions and enterprises alter the balance of power between the brothers as he careens into manhood. Dreaming of expensive suits, fast cars and beautiful women, Jack starts his own bootlegging operation, with his friend Cricket (Dane DeHaan) helping him to soup up cars and build stills – even against Forrest's wishes. Jack starts to prosper, even selling his moonshine to Floyd Banner (Gary Oldman), the big city gangster he idolizes. The lives of the Bondurants are soon complicated by the appearance of two beautiful women: the exotic, steadfast Maggie (Jessica Chastain), who brings a secret past with her and catches the eye of the guarded Forrest - and the quiet, pious Bertha (Mia Wasikowska), who slowly warms to Jack's charms and channels her own rebellious streak. Jack's confidence however soon trumps his good sense, and the consequences will test the brothers' loyalty and endangers them all. Determined to do whatever is necessary to fight for what is theirs, the Bondurants take up arms and confront the corrupt forces of the law in a faceoff to determine who controls the wettest county in the world.

iGo One Direction Review
WARNING – This episode contains copious amounts of One Direction. Women with heart conditions are advised not to look directly at One Direction. This also applies to women without heart conditions. They're very pretty – see? See how pretty they are? They're very pretty! I'd like to run my fingers through their hair; and I'm just text! Anyway, without further ado, enjoy your iCarly episode.
Welcome, everyone, to the review of iGo One Direction. You've read the warning and by reading this either out loud or to yourself, you're agreeing not to sue.
»Scene 1 – Carly and Spencer just arrived home«
From this image, one can assume that the Shays went to Mexico. And that Spencer STILL hasn't gotten muscles. You know why? Because, despite the fact that his sister is at least 10 years younger than him, and that she's a bit sick, SHE's the one carrying all the bags…
"Maybe I should take you to a doctor…" Maybe? I don't think that there's any need for that… There a psychotic nurse right across the hall, perhaps she cou… Yeah, a doctor's better… Probably Dr. Dresdin, who lives in 10-G. Or, if you're really in a hurry, Dr. Who!
There's a party going on in the apartment of the Shays! It looks like a pre-4th of July (which I hope to celebrate this year), complete with a barbecue, kids in a kiddie pool, and videogames!
"She okay?"
"No, she's like dying." And you STILL haven't taken her to a doctor, or your neighbor.
There's a Gibby head watching the video game.
What's the problem, Gib? Are you afraid of worms?
Of course Sam would know about jungle worms…
Poor Carly… but the stakes are ready.
»Title Sequence«
»Scene 2«
Gibby is rubbing Sam's feet. However, if I did not see it, and just heard it, I wouldn't say that they were rubbing feet.
These replies to Spencer were actually pretty awesome!
"Hey, guys! Guess what I got?"
"A woman?"
"A job?"
"A friend your own age?"
So, Spencer got an exercise machine… actually, for a moment there, I thought I heard Spencer say exorcise machine… I actually did…
Uhh, the Omniflex… Omni, meaning "all", and flex, meaning "physical effort".
Is that… Is that a single popcorn on your navel? Navel means belly button…
Freddie received an e-mail from the manager of a British band. Who are they? Take That? Franz Ferdinand? Muse? (Actually, a serious note here: Muse were the favorite band of a friend of mine who recently passed away.) Coldplay? ("You know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay.") David Bowie? ("I'm not David Bowie") The Beatles?
Oh, it's WandErection, I mean, One Direction… Never heard of them…
Gibby's a big fan of them…
If I may quote the e-mail: "Dear Freddie (Oh my God), in response to your e-mail, my clients, One Direction, will be in the Seattle area later this week, and they would love to appear on iCarly and perform a song." That's huge for them, first Plain White T's, now One Direction, who's next? James Blunt? Taylor Swift? Maroon 5? Uh, uh, Gym Class Heroes with Adam Levine!!!
Look at this! This is Cutting Room Flow!
If I didn't know it's a fake software, I'd probably download it illegally…
»Scene 3«
Spencer's getting a visit and a package for Spencer Spay. Oh, the subliminal messages…
You're a personal exercise trainer?
Spencer unknowingly fixed a babe magnet…
»Scene 4 – iCarly studio«
Freddie is working with the camera…
A few things to retain: Sam texted Freddie from jail. But she's just visiting…
Carly saved Freddie from a possible infection with Jungle Worms.
It has been a very long time since I got to say this, Gibby suited up! Look at the Gibster:
He might just be the biggest male fan of 1D…
And Sam, who just got here from prison, announces that WandErection, I mean One Direction have arrived. And Gibby unleashes the inner fangirl. Basically, he does what I would do if I saw any of the 33 names I have on my phone… All of those names are female.
Yeah, I know… In my opinion, the use of this image was WAY overdue…
One Direction are performing a song. And that song is "What Makes You Beautiful."
Sam makes a quick announcement: "I'm not currently dating anyone." Please note this look on Freddie's face:
And, of course, Gibby's foot massages. He has, according to Spencer, "the hands of a goddess".
British sandwiches…
Carly leaves the water bottle with the cute Texan water bottle holder unprotected near the tech cart.
I would like to thank @VillayCescilove for identifying the members of 1D.
I don't know if you know this but it's 5 of them… "Just putting that out there…"
!Would you guys autograph my sister's scrapbook?" I didn't know Taylor was a fa… Sister's? Then why does it have a G on the cover?
Okay, I must say this: I've been speaking English for over 10 years now, 7 of those were spent learning British English, and I can't understand what they say! Luckily, I have a transcript. Let me check… Oh, yeah, Harry asked Louis if there was any water. And Louis says "Ova ther…"
"Handgoons" Yeah, in America, we use them bloody handgoons to kill people…
»Sometime later…«
Spencer is combing his not-so-lady-like hair for his personal exercise trainer time.
Sam likes One Direction… Is that why Freddie's joining a band? Pretzels for thought…
Spencer, she doesn't care. Like, at all…
What the deuce? Who's the incredibly rude girl?
"Kid, what are you doing?"
"Smelling this fudge!" Isn't it obvious, Spencer?
"My mother said you were gonna exercise me!" Should I be the one to let you know that this sounds like there's another connotation to this sentence?
I can't believe Spencer is helpless towards a kid…
»Some time later«
Geez, hum, what's his name… Right, Harry's feeling really bad… He can't even stand…
Gibby, go sit in the…
Yeah, there. Stay there.
You feel cold? And thirsty? You know what that means, don't you? It means you read the wrong part of the script!
Carly gave Harry Styles jungle worms? Dun, dun, dun…
»Commercial break«
»Scene 4, Carly's room«
Dr. Dresden is taking care of Harry.
"Is he better?"
"I think so… or maybe not." What kind of doctor are you?
"We're so lucky to have a doctor right here in the building." Still thinking a psychotic nurse would be better…
Here's a nice pun: Harry wants fruit cut into cubes, the way only Carly does. 'Cause "that's what makes you beautiful."
»Some time later«
Spencer's forcing that kid to get some exercise, while Spencer eats.
45 seconds!
Spencer's like me, he can't see a girl cry.
Bethany's not awkward, she just has a very bad personality.
A makeover?
»Scene 7 – Groovy Smoothie«
San Francisco! The city the show Monk takes place in!
Note that Sam's reaction is an actual effect obtained from being around celebrities. Go to a celebrity, ask them to say the name of a country or city and watch the results.
Harry's having all of his needs taken care of…
T-Bo's taking pics of 1D with his pearPhone.
"…he's having a good time at Hotel Carly-fornia." What a lovely place, what a lovely place, what a lovely place.
Butter Sock 4: The Re-Return of The Butter Sock.
"Is that a sock?"
"Full of butta?"
Freddie wants to "replace" Harry from 1D, forcing him to admit that he's just in it for the lulz, I mean, for Carly's attention.
"Who with?"
Here's the question that is on EVERYONE's mind. Who will replace Harry? Who has the raw talent, predisposition to sing and intricate knowledge of OneDirection's songs that is required to sing with the group? Ali Brustofski? Megan Nicole? Uh, uh, Aria Summer Wallace!
This guy.
Harry admits he's feeling better and that he'll be able to perform on iCarly, on the condition that they never let Gibby sing, or dance ever again.
And as usual, Gibby's not in on it.
»Some time later«
Spencer is giving a little girl a makeover. It's Extreme Makeover: Kid Edition.
Agh, my eyes!!
"We need some kind of resolution!" I hear the fourth wall breaking.
»Scene 8 – iCarly webcast«
The girls just presented One Direction.
I've been on Twitter for a while now. And every day, I hear about One Direction but never thought about it. But this song is awesome!
Sam kidnapped Zayn?
Guys, get ready! Tomorrow there's another iCarly episode tomorrow. It's called iOpen a Restaurant! And it is gonna be fun… I guess…

Rob's Reviews, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. RobSp1derp1g, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.
Welcome, faithful readers! We bring you today my review to iApril Fools, another episode of iCarly!
First of all, I have to apologize. This review was done when I wasn't feeling too well, and I had some stuff holding me down…
Let's get started!
This time, the gang warns us that this is not an usual episode of iCarly. And it is not for normal people. And the answer for it is… soup.
»Title Credits«
These credits are a bit different… There's a montage with pics of them when they started doing iCarly and how they are now. And there's fire and lightning in the middle…
There's a box with items which belong to @DanWarp. Here, take a look:
»Scene 1 – Bushwell Plaza, Shays' very bare living room«
Are the Shays moving?
The Shays have been EVICTED? That is a TERRIBLE way to spend April Fools! Mine's gonna be more creative… Then again, not that much…
I find it harder to believe that the owner's name is Bushwell than Carly stabbed him…
10 o'clock PST? I'm on DST, so what time is that on GMT?
"Sure had a lot of good times on this place."
"Yeah, we sure had…" Oh, God, here it comes, reminiscing time…
"You guys remember the time we were all sitting around watching that TV show?"
"What episode of that TV show?"
"You mean the one where the characters talk about crazy stuff that happened in previous episodes?" Isn't that all TV shows?
"And then they flashback to the scenes they were talking about?" Yup, that's ALL TV shows.
Reminiscing time!
Dan Schneider is talking in the TV! It is my belief that this is an episode (with flashback) of Head Of The Class..
That's the 2nd time I've ever seen people so excited about flashbacks…
Gibby comes in from the elevator to steal something…
The new tenants are from France! *le gasp*
Gibby hit Spencer in the head with the STOP sign he stole…
But Sam tells him that is not how April Fools works… so Gibby kisses Spencer on the cheek and runs away…
They're going away against their wishes, so they are having a party, complete with a party bush…
T-Bo's invited too, so Sam calls him.
T-Bo's a genie?
And T-Bo proceeds to do the same thing Gibby did, smack Spencer in the head with a STOP sign.
"Will you just take us to the next scene, please?"
Hard cut to…
»Scene 2 – Party's location«
Freddie's NOT partying without a party bush… He wants it so bad he starts to feel a bit ill due to not having a party bush…
That's the power of magic. T-Bo blinks and they get a party bush… but is it me, or it's a bit dry?
Ah, iCarly… I used to love that webshow… Now? I still do…
They are going to think back on the reason they started iCarly…
Whoa! They have suddenly been transported to school! There is some Butterfly Effect chiz going on here…
This is the event that led to the creation of iCarly… After this, Freddie uploaded Carly and Sam's video and accidentally created iCarly…
After the final denial from Ms. Briggs, Carly and Sam the scene cuts to… What?
That's Ms. Briggs from another universe which is not this one!!
If their energies collide, there will be an explosion with galactic proportions!
FIRE IN THE HOLE!! TAKE COVER!! That is the example of over 6 years playing Counter Strike and Call of Duty… If I may quote Jeffrey Albertson (known to many as Comic Book Guy), "life well spent!"
It's an explosion of galactic proportions, but it's confined to a few inches… and it's perfectly safe to walk on the blast radius afterwards. Look:
"We should start a webshow."
"Okay, what do we call it?"
And here's the kicker, non-nerd Freddie actually trying to be a nerd.
And of course, who could forget Sparky.
And Freddie can move while in freeze frame!
See? What did I tell you? Going to a re-enactment of the past changed the course of Blitztory! *ghost-like whispers* Blitz…
"What time is it?" It's time for Spencer to be hit in the head with a STOP sign, AGAIN… However, despite the caps, I find it very amusing…
Poachy? Sounds strangely familiar and delicious…
Here they go again…
Oh, the harp…
The girls are intelligent, don't get me wrong, I thought that girls like these had been discontinued, but sometimes they can be so thick headed!
Miko is able to predict the future… look:
Gibby, you're violating the rules of flashingbacking!
There's an Asian guy knocked out in your studio. You start dancing like a cowboy in Texas…
Yet another flashback. I didn't know the Shays had a cat… Is it me, or isn't that cat Jackson, Dan's cat?
There's an old saying, Gibby, and it goes like this: "Take me by the tongue and I'll know you" See what I did there? Nah, the saying is "Payback's a [CENSORED]"
»Commercial Break«
"We're back!"
"Back from what?"
"I dunno…"
Let me clarify some things. I didn't know there was such a thing as a party bush, but talking party bushes? That's epic, dawg…
T-Bo just watered the bush…
Now, they talk about Carly's lack of bad moods. And they are proven wrong, in a flashbacking way.
Huh? What are they doing in Tori Vega from Victorious's house? And that's the former blogger who alienated his friends by writing about them!!
It's like a virus… "just leave it all to me"
Spencer's really long hair… like a lady's.
It was when iSaved Your Life aired. "12 million viewers…"
Spencer's ladylike hair…
Here comes Mr. Bushwell.
Just one question, why does Gibby take down his pants when he gets depressed?
Think back, Mr. Bushwell…
Look! It's the Doc! He brings a warning!
Go back to a future episode!!
And here's the obvious reference to Back to the Future, in which there is a mention to the possibility of Seddie children.
And T'bo's time machine!!
This episode shows that you don't need to have a storyline to have a good time… Stupid line, I know…
And again, I'm sorry about the delay.
At ease, soldiers.
We have received intel that the next iCarly episode will premiere on January 16th. This episode marks a special occasion, because the FLOTUS will be there, which means that every available soldier must ensure that the FLOTUS is safe. We were given 2 Secret Service agents to aid us.
The intel comes from our friends over at Nickutopia.com, so you know it's good intel.
This is the intel that we received, and it's need-to-know only:
If this intel leaves this briefing room, please give us credit.
Some say…
Some say that in his wallet, he keeps a picture… of his wallet; and that he's illegal in 14 American states, and is not allowed to enter the other 36. All we know is that he brings us bagels and pretzels (I LOVE pretzels!) Oh, he's Steve.
This time, Steve brought us something that I was actually grateful he brought, a piece of good news. He brought us a promo for iStill Psycho.
I wanted to show it to you guys, but it has been removed from YouTube…
For more info on this episode, check this blog post: http://t.co/R9ZhzuYq
EDIT: Thanks to @azn_Seddie, I got a link to the promo! Enjoy!
New promo!
Christmas has come earlier this year!
It's the most wonderful time of the year,
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
And, because of legal purposes, I won't sing anymore.
You're most likely wondering why I'm singing Christmas songs. Two reasons: they are the only thing that makes the echoing Bieber songs that are constantly playing on TV stop, and the much more important reason, and please turn your excitement level to 11 for this, there will be 3 NEW iCarly EPISODES this month!!
That's right! Starting from Seddietember 10th, there's going to be a NEW iCarly EPISODE EVERY SATURDAY!!
The efforts of the Seddie Warriors who went to battle nearly 2 years ago are remembered with this tribute to Seddie…
But enough with the past, let's look to the future!
We can see that this promo is for more than one episode, most likely the 3 we are getting this month.
You think iCarly's getting good?
Well, it's just getting started with the whole new season.
Carly's upset that iCarly's about to start and the newly-formed couple is still not there. That's right, Seddie's a couple!! Look at my power! Fangirls, rejoice! And Gibby's not a mushroom.
See Spencer's craziest creation EVER!
So, Spencer made a lawn? Is he trying to become a golfer? That's actually pretty cool… Wait… Let's do the math here… Spencer + lawn = Big fire.
Is the loft insured?
Find out if Freddie survives life in prison…
I get the feeling that Freddie's visiting Sam's relatives in jail… And from the looks of the guy…
Cons have a dark sense of humor… (Disclaimer: Cons do not have a dark sense of humor. This line of text is simply a way to defend myself.)
Every Saturday night, catch the most hilarious, most shocking, most anticipated iCarlys ever!
Spencer built a lawn so that he could observe the night sky while indoors. I sense the existance of iCarly Seddie fanfics, of the M variety because of this.
Now, get ready for an iCarly "sort-of-marathon"!!
See you all on Seddietember 11th, when I post my iDate Sam and Freddie review!
Spend a superb Seddietember!!
I had some troubles thinking of a fitting name, so I chose what many of us were thinking: Oh my Seddie.
Yes, that's what I thought. After all the screaming, squealing and overall 'Fan-Girling'.
What am I talking about? Of course, it's the Behind the Scenes iLost My Mind Promo (Or Promo 4), which you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI9OdKEvJp0&feature=relmfu
And which I, BabelLeef, will be reviewing here (I warn you, it's going to be a long one!):
Drum Roll, please!
Saturday, August 13th…
THE WORLD PREMIERE OF iLOST MY MIND!
So, Freddie's getting worried about Sam…
But where is she? (Like we didn't already know. We even have the wristbands…)
Oh – look at this:
I couldn't help but notice how happy Freddie looked that they found Sam. But…
Not so happy…
Moving swiftly on, we get to see some 'Behind the Scenes' – and I will skip some of these clips to come, unless it is clear that that they are a crucial part to the episode, or they looked interesting. This blog is going to be long enough already..
Jerry dancing! No, wait… SPENCER DANCING!
The reason this gets a mention is because SPENCER is happy dancing in his apartment. Confused? My guess is he's probably just found out Sam and Freddie kissed. Yeah. SECRET SEDDIE SHIPPER ALERT!
Nathan and Miranda's high-five. I can't help but smile at it.
It's iCarly the musical. I have no idea whether they are in character or not. I'm assuming the latter.
… and we went Behind the Scenes to give you an inside look at THE MOST INSANE iCARLY SPECIAL EVER!
Psch. No chiz.
"… in here, Mrs Puckett…"
We got up with the cast to find the story behind the madness…
I'm going to be completely useless here and say I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT EXACTLY THIS SCENE IS. Is it from the actual episode? Is it Jennette and Nathan out of character before shooting? All I can say is that I think the guy behind the camera is Caleb/Jim Parsons. My inner fangirl is taking over.
Have you ever tried doing a live webshow in a Mental Hospital? Well, it isn't easy.
I love both Miranda and Jennette's acting in this scene – Jennette pulls off playing 'Insane Sam' especially well!
And a shuffle shuffle to the next screencap…
IT'S JIM PARSONS! "We LOVE Jim Parsons!"
Why did Spencer do that?!
"I'm from the year 2077!"
Sam has that affect on a lot of people.
And finally, the stars of iCarly gave us their thoughts on the ultimate question:
Oh, oh…
(you see that arrow? pointing to Freddie's obviously puckered lips.)
AHH! The part where I died and went to Seddie heaven.
Oh My Seddie indeed.
Strap on your seat belts. It's gonna be a bumpy ride!
Hello, my friends! I'm super excited, so I'm gonna cut to the chase.
Dan Schneider (@Danwarp) just posted a blog post about iCarly and Victorious. It contained info on the new iCarly episodes for the new season!
Remember iLost My Mind? The episode Nickelodeon gave us a promo for a few weeks ago. It's part of a storyline!
The titles are iLost My Mind, iDate Sam and Freddie, iCan't Take It, and iLove You.
Apart from iLost My Mind, all titles are temporary. They may be the real ones or not.
We also got news about the iPsycho sequel, iStill Psycho, and iMeet The First Lady!
Want to know what Dan himself said? Read this!
Discuss, people!!!
Why Sam is in love with Freddie
It's an established fact that Samantha Puckett is in love with Freddie Benson. What many people don't get is why. Well, I believe I bring an answer.
It was said in iParty with Victorious that Sam's dad pulled a "Mr. Muntz", that is, he left his wife and daughters without any explanation. While Nelson's dad, the aforementioned Mr. Muntz, left, he said he was going to buy cigarettes, but never came back.
If one takes a look at Sam's relationships from a psychological point of view, you can see a pattern. There was Eric Moseby, also known as Noseby Moseby, who bought Sam's love. Well, he was kinda leasing it, but the effect's the same.
Then, we have Jonah, a guy who didn't care about her, and pretty much, used her to get to Carly. That would get anyone pretty upset.
Following him, we get Reuben. He was not in love with Sam, it was more of a crush. Besides, the language barrier was too much of a problem.
After Reuben, there is Shane, played by that guy from that band. He was the reason for a competition between the girls, which caused them not to fight over a boy again. It's underlined, so it's important.
Now, we have Pete. Pete caused Sam to change, both inside and out. She didn't want it, but she thought it would make her happy, so she complied. And it turned out to be pointless.
Spencer is something different, but the same. Sam said she had a crush on Spencer, but the age gap is too wide. Besides, it was never mentioned again.
I'm not talking about Brad, I feel there's no need for that.
Carly and Freddie are the only people that have never left her, that always supported her and gave her the courage to carry on. But Sam isn't into other girls.
Freddie always supported her, he gave up a cruise to make her happy, cheered her on, helped save her life and, somewhere during the show, she started relying more on him than on Carly.
Give me your opinions on this, please. I want to know what you, my readers, think.
RobSp1derp1g out.
Am I dead? 'Cause this seems like heaven…
There is a place where everything is good. Where there is no pain, no harm, and everyone is happy.
Some call it Heaven, some call it Nirvanna (2 n's), others call it Capeside, Massachusetts.
Its true name is, Seddieland, also known as Seddie Heaven. Located around Seattle, Washington.
Why I say this? Take a look:
This is the official promo for the episode I saw while on the future. And the promo STILL gets to me…
And I'll be a good friend and over-analyze it, like I did with the iOMG one!
Let's get to work!
We are shown a part of the iOMG kiss. Then, the drama, so to speak, begins.
"Nothing will prepare you for what happens NEXT!" I disagree. Time travel does.
You can see what happens here, Sam is behind a door with a glass window. This could be the Troubled Waters Mental Hospital.
"This August…" It's my birthday!!
Mrs. Benson hired a P.I. A so not-unlike-her thing to do. And he's fully equipped, complete with raincoat, sunglasses and hat.
Freddie's dating Sam… Oh, and you're gonna love this:
It's safe to say that Mrs. Benson doesn't want Sam and Freddie to be together. But that doesn't make her a Creddie shipper.
And another thing, or rather, two things:
You can see both Sam and Freddie going in for a kiss. Both Sam and Freddie are okay with it, and we can perceive that the iOMG kiss is no longer a problem at all. Also, Carly's happy. Not "meh" happy, she's genuinely happy.
"Are Sam and Freddie in love?"
"Sam loves Freddie! Sam loves Freddie!" This scene seems to me that it is before the previous scene.
"Will Carly keep them together?"
"I'm just supposed to sit here and wait for you guys to have a fight so I can settle it?"
"Pretty much!"
"We'd really appreciate it…" I can't, for the life of me, do two things. Figure out how they get there, and not laugh when I hear this line…
"And the biggest question of all…" Have I lost my mind?
Lookie here:
Carly has her arms up in the first pic, but she's not forcing them to kiss… If she was, Sam wouldn't have her hand on Freddie's forearm… Think about it.
Coming on August, 2011.
Amazing! Be ready!!
And I said there'd be a HUGE REVELATION on this post. Well, follow my train of thought.
The purple restaurant scene and the one where they are kissing in the kitchen were shot on the first week of production. The Troubled Waters Mental Hospital scenes were shot on the second. This leads me to say that this MIGHT be a 40-minute episode.
RobSp1derp1g out!!

Comments: NASCAR Picks for Michigan
Article: Quicken Loans 400 Practice Recap: Drivers to Watch
Article: Fantasy NASCAR: Drivers on the Rise
Fresh off a trip to Pocono Raceway, the Cup Series heads to Michigan International Speedway this weekend for the Quicken Loans 400. At first glance, the wide surface of the D-shaped oval would seem to have little in common with the flat corners and triangle-shaped layout of Pocono, but in reality, races at both tracks can take on similar feels. Cautions can be few and far between at both Pocono and MIS, and fuel mileage is often the determining factor at both tracks. Meanwhile, both tracks produce very high speeds, and if fuel mileage isn't jumbling up the finishing order, a rash of engines failures probably is.
As a result, it is nearly impossible to find a driver without a few blemishes on their Michigan resume. In fact, only two drivers finished in the top five in both races at MIS last year, and only one driver has an active streak of three of more top-10s at the track. Granted, there are a few drivers that have been more reliable than most at Michigan, but unfortunately for fantasy owners, MIS is just the type of track where even a great driver can have a very bad day.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

rally was set to start? We have clients in the city so any and all updates
are appreciated.
On 11/16/2010 1:23 PM, Matt Gertken wrote:
The Nov 19 rally will be held at Ratchaprasong Intersection to
commemorate the six-month anniversary of the crackdown this May. Since
the death toll for that incident was high by historical standards, the
incident will likely attract commemorative demonstrations like this.
However there is little evidence that this rally will be massive or
destabilizing -- talk about Nov 13-14 Red Shirt rallies did not amount
to much.
Bangkok Police have reported to the Center for Resolution of the
Emergency Situation saying that they will negotiate with the Red Shirts
(United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship) and attempt to prevent
them from blocking traffic. Intelligence specialists are focusing on
preventing sabotage, and police claim the situation will be entirely
under control -- this comes after a major expansion of intelligence
gathering in Bangkok over the past few months. The number of police to
be deployed at the protest site is 500, which also does not suggest a
large turnout is expected. It may be significant that the police, rather
than the military, have publicly addressed the situation, perhaps
suggesting that the military is not expected to be called on to respond
to the protest.
The fact that the government has said it will lift the emergency
security conditions in the last remaining provinces by New Year's day
suggests that the government is becoming more confident of its progress
in recent months in tightening security controls at all levels. Moreover
a new, heavy-handed military leadership has successfully taken charge.
None of the above should rule out small explosives, political
intimidation bombings, or the like. The area where the rally is to take
place should be avoided. The Red Shirt movement has been damaged but it
has by no means lost steam and cannot be counted out. The focus now is
on the elections that will need to be called by December 2011.
Opposition leaders will attempt to focus all opposition activity on the
election, rather than staging massive protests.
There may well be rallies ahead of elections, but all parties will
likely attempt to be peaceful, and refrain from provocations that might
alienate voters. However the security situation in the lead up to
elections could still be volatile, especially if aggressive campaigning
is done by more than one political activist group.
Resumption of mass protests meant to knock out the ruling party will
likely attend the election regardless of who wins. If the pro-Thaksin
opposition wins, the danger of a military-backed coup will spike, though
it may be preceded by mass protests from Yellow Shirts (People's
Alliance for Democracy). If the currently ruling Democrat Party wins, or
some reincarnation of that party, then the Red Shirts will likely ramp
up a new effort to provoke that government.
On 11/16/2010 11:34 AM, Korena Zucha wrote:
How big is the rally on Friday expected to get? Also, how united are
the Red Shirts currently and what is their plan going forward,
especially if the state of emergency is lifted at the end of the year?
Could we see a resumption in rallies and protests early next year or
has the group lost steam?

Emergency rule in Bangkok to be lifted by New Year
By The Nation
The state of emergency in Bangkok and surrounding areas will likely be
lifted before the New Year holiday, National Security Council
secretary general Thawil Pliensri said on Tuesday.
"The situation no longer warrants emergency rule," he said.
Thawil said the security authorities will make a final assessment on
threats after the planned rally by the red shirts on Friday.
The rally is to mark the six-month rememberance of the killing of
pro-red Army officier Maj General Khattiay "Seh Daeng" Sawasdipol.
The mandate for imposing the state of emergency is scheduled to expire
on January 4.

Volunteer at Kids Convention Parking Options
Important Check-in Instructions
About the THSC Kids Convention
While Mom and Dad are enjoying the Convention at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, kids ages 4-12 will take part in their own events just a few miles down the road at WoodsEdge Community Church (WECC).
Your child's lunch is provided with registration, so parents can take advantage of two full days of Convention workshops and shopping! Plus, you can enjoy our complimentary shuttle service to and from both Convention venues.
New Kids Convention and Preteen Programs Location!
THSC is excited to introduce a new venue for the Kids Convention and Preteen Programs! They will be held this year at the beautiful WoodsEdge Community Church Campus.
Located just 5.8 miles from the Marriott, WoodsEdge Community Church has graciously allowed THSC to hold the Kids Convention, Inner Princess, and Mighty Men of Valor programs at their spacious campus. Recognizing that your children's safety comes first, we want to make sure that you know your children will be cared for in this nearby facility. Please read the following for answers to your questions about this year's programs.
In what program should I enroll my child?
Preteen boys ages 11-12: Mighty Men of Valor (very limited space)
Preteen girls ages 11-12: Inner Princess (very limited space)
Children ages 4-12: Kids Convention (limited space)
Preteen boys ages 11-12 will want to take part in the exciting Mighty Men of Valor program. David's Mighty Men of Valor were men challenged at every turn who remained strong and faithful. They were successful due only to the Lord's power in their lives. Today's young men are also challenged at every turn and need to be encouraged to stand strong and to make right decisions. They need to realize that only by God's power can they, too, resist the enemy and be on the offensive.
Activities will include fun-filled skits, singing, and Bible verse memorization. The program will include hands-on activities with spiritual analogies.
Preteen girls ages 11-12 at the 2014 THSC Convention are in for a life-changing adventure when they attend the Inner Princess program! Your daughter will love joining us for a fun-filled time of songs, games, skits, and crafts, as we learn more about what it means to be a true princess and daughter of the King of Kings. Activities this year include adventures on a nature trail, lessons in wisdom, and team treasure hunts!
Your children ages 4-12 will love going on exciting, Christ-centered adventures filled with songs, skits, games, and new large and small group activities!
NOTE: Sibling groups will be kept together unless parents communicate otherwise, and special requests for children to be placed on the same team will be considered IF the request is submitted WITH registration. For security reasons, team changes on-site may not be considered.
Will the new campus be secure for my children?
Yes! First, your children will be in the care of the Kids Convention, Inner Princess, and Mighty Men of Valor staff – all directed by individuals who have been working with THSC kids for more than ten years.
Secondly, as in previous years, we are blessed to have volunteers from the International ALERT Academy on-site to provide a security presence. These gentlemen will be guarding doors and ensuring that those who enter are only those who should be there. Finally, while the church is on a large, beautiful property in The Woodlands, we will have the additional security of a police officer who will be patrolling the grounds and the building for our safety.
Volunteers over the age of 18 in the three programs will undergo background checks and attend mandatory child protection training. In addition, we are decreasing student/teacher ratios for a better learning environment.
Where should I check in?
Children should be taken directly to WoodsEdge Community Church and be checked into their respective programs there. All three programs are expected to fill up and will not have on-site registration.
Will I need to come get my children for lunch?
No. THSC is pleased to provide lunches for your children to have on-site at WoodsEdge Community Church under the continued supervision of their program directors and volunteers. If your child has any special health needs, please make us aware of them on the medical waiver form and have your child pack a sack lunch.
There will not be a mandatory parent pick-up time for lunch. You may drop your children off in the morning and pick them up late Friday and Saturday afternoon as scheduled.
When can I pick up my children?
For security reasons you may pick up your children at WECC any time during the day, but you may be asked to wait if children are currently in Large Group. IMPORTANT: If children become unruly, unmanageable, distracting, or harmful to others, we will contact you and ask that you pick them up immediately.
What if there is an emergency?
We request that your cell number be written on the nametags of your children and that your phones be kept within your reach.

Now that the fleet is reunited, old conflicts reignite. Criticism of the military reaches a fever pitch in the aftermath of the massacre on the Gideon. During the period of martial law, a team of Galactica's marines, led by pilot Lt. Palladino, had opened fire on civilian protesters aboard the civilian freighter.
Col. Tigh, commanding officer during the incident which left four civilians dead and a dozen others wounded, receives a death threat. Shortly afterward, he very nearly falls victim to an act of sabotage. It is decided that steps must be taken to ratchet down the rhetoric, on both sides of the dispute.
Intent on improving relations between the civilian fleet and the military, President Roslin and Commander Adama offer Fleet News Service reporter D'Anna Biers unlimited access to the Galactica officers and crew. With her cameraman in tow, D'Anna interviews a series of stressed-out pilots, crew hands and officers.
Gaius Baltar, urged on by Number Six, hopes to gain D'Anna's support in his political ambitions.
D'Anna stumbles onto one of the Galactica's most explosive secrets, however, when she encounters the Cylon prisoner Sharon, whose unborn child is saved by the quick actions of Dr. Cottle following a near-miscarriage. And when Louanne "Kat" Katraine, wired on stimulants, crash-lands her Viper, D'Anna must decide whether she'll fashion her report as a hatchet job or as a more nuanced portrait of life aboard the Galactica.
The arrival of two Cylon attack ships clarifies D'Anna's thinking, as does a potentially deadly ambush that puts Tigh and his wife in the gunsights of a crazed, would-be assassin.

Good handling, Sporty looks, Sunroof, CD Player, Bluetooth, PL, PW, PM, CC, Gas Mileage, Reliable, Low maintenance costs, Spoiler, ABS, Traction Control
Compact, Steel wheels,
Value Car — I like everything about this car besides it's small size - not much room for luggage! It is very reliable, though, and all maintenance for it has been quite cheap. I average between 25-30 mpg with a mix of city and highway driving, and I tend to have a heavy foot. I can get around 300 miles from one tank of fuel. It is no speed demon, but it will keep up with traffic. It has a good balance of power for it's weight.

Dashboard, good gas milage
Very long doors (coupe)
Good Weekly Rental — I drove this one as a rental for a week on vacation in Alberta. I know the reputation this whole series had but at least for a limited time car rental, this did the job. Gas milage was ok, it was comfy and this coupe was actually fun to drive. I really enjoyed the dashboard display at night: all red. The only negative for the week that I had it was that the damn doors were so long that it was easy to nick another car when parked. Perhaps all coupes are like that. For that, I like my four or five door option :)

Proprietors Bridgette Gordon and Tiffany Greenlee first visioned the restaurant as childhood friends. "After graduating from ETSU in 2009, I had a hard time finding a steady job that could support my family in the current economic state. Tiffany was also having the same problem, so we sat down and came up with a business plan based around the theme and name we had dreamed up more than 20 years ago. In September, we took that plan to a local bank and applied for a business loan. Today, that dream is a reality", said Gordon.
Items on the menu include fried green tomatoes, chicken livers, fish and grits, hot wings, chicken and waffles, and a host of other soul food entrees. The restaurant will also feature a host of classic and authentic southern style foods such as; hand breaded chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and hand crafted ½ pound burgers served with a variety of flavors, toppings, and sides.
Tiffany Greenlee said, "Bridgette and I both learned how to cook at home with our mother's and grandmothers. We believe that Salt N Pepper is the perfect restaurant concept to add to the vitality and different tastes in the Tri-Cities area. If you're looking for some comfort food served in a relaxed and welcoming setting, then this a place that you and your friends and family are sure to enjoy!"
The restaurant also offers catering services and take out items including entres and home made deserts and pies. For more infomration please call 423-283-SOUL (7685).

The history and origin of windows XP
History and origin of Windows XP
Windows XP was released on 25th October, 2001. It is now not readily available to buy but the use of the windows XP still continues, there are many desktop users who use only Windows XP. Windows XP never had any exciting features but always made its place in the history of Microsoft. The Microsoft's first consumer operating system that was multiprocessor supporting, multitasking and also multi user security supporting.
Do you know? The most viewed image in the world is Bliss image which is a default computer wallpaper of windows XP.
Windows XP has made a history in the world of PC operating systems. Windows 95 was also pretty famous but not as much as Windows XP. There are no previous operating systems which showed such longevity and for sure there will not be any other operating systems in future also. Windows XP operating systems was used almost 90 percent of the desktop users. When compared to Windows 95, windows XP has much more to offer to its desktop users especially after the release of the service pack 2. Many gamers were little disappointed with the windows XP version but later at the end none of these objections could stand for long time. Along with time windows XP became very successful.
Long journey of Windows XP:
After the release of the Service pack 2 in 2004, the Windows XP operating systems became more successful. It had improved WiFi, Blue tooth stack, the firewall was auto enabled, ActiveX and popup blockers security options. Microsoft made many different variants of this Windows XP version like Windows XP Tablet edition and also Windows XP media center edition but none of them could be successful. Windows XP was modern enough, robust enough, usable enough and well-rounded enough to support this extended life. Windows XP was the one and only operating systems that lasted for 13 years but also only this operating system deserved to be used for such long period. It had all the important features that are required for the windows XP operating system to be so successful.
The down side of Windows XP longevity:
After the release of service pack 2 in which many steps were taken towards the security, it has failed many new security features which the windows vista and Windows 7 versions had. The technology used by windows XP is out dated when compared to that used in Mac OS or Windows 7. To accelerate their user interfaces, both these operating systems use GPU's powerful 3D capabilities. With many new features and security options Windows 7 has taken the place of windows XP operating system. Before the administrators and the developers can leave this Windows XP operating systems completely, it is going to end its support on April 8th, 2014.
Thirteen years is really a very good run for any operating systems where you can find many new operating systems coming up with new features. But it is time to move on with the latest technology and version as security of the data is really important. Windows 7 is the best option for everyone who really loved the experience of Windows XP. We also had latest OS from Microsoft, Windows 8 and its update windows 8.1 which is similar to windows 7 but the major change is they are built for touch PCs. These are really advanced versions with all brand new features and options.

Hi, Tim! Sorry about the problem that you're having.
What is the complete imprint on these tablets?

Imprint is a 15 on one side and NP on the other. I will run out I know as I have to take an extra one each dose. But will cut back on weekends as I dont need them so much then. I wish there was some form of action my doctor would understand. From now on I will always open up my package at the pharmacy before leaving to make sure I have the correct brand. Mallincroft. I actually have not had any problem with any of the blue brands
4Jason W Says:
via mobile
I filled my Zydus 20mg IR (imprint N P 14) last week and have found them to be at absolute best half of the stated dosage when comparing them to the KVK or Mallinkrot generics. I've been on this dosage and dosage schedule for over 4 years and have had no loss in effectiveness until my pharmacy switched brands. I really don't believe that there's any conceivable way that we're even getting the minus 20% dosage that the FDA allows, I've never had a problem until this month, I really wish that I would have searched to see if anyone else it had problems with this brand before I filled it

My Husband is a machinist and has held his job for 10 years thanks to the legal doctor prescribed medication he is taking. Our nosy governmnent decided to pull a swift one on use and give us the zydus pharm. 15 on one side white brand. They are not working if he doubles up then he will run out before his next appointment. if he cannot have a drug that takes his pain away he cannot work and feed our children. So I just wanted to say, we are in the same boat they suck. The sadest part is that my husband has never abused his medicine but if it takes him having to give it to himself introvenously to be able to work and function then this pharmaceutical company turned him into this.

Dyslipidemia is elevation of plasma cholesterol, triglycerides (TGs), or both, or a low high density lipoprotein level that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Causes may be primary (genetic) or secondary. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma levels of total cholesterol, TGs, and individual lipoproteins. Treatment is dietary changes, exercise, and lipid-lowering drugs.
There is no natural cutoff between normal and abnormal lipid levels because lipid measurements are continuous. A linear relation probably exists between lipid levels and cardiovascular risk, so many people with "normal" cholesterol levels benefit from achieving still lower levels. Consequently, there are no numeric definitions of dyslipidemia; the term is applied to lipid levels for which treatment has proven beneficial. Proof of benefit is strongest for lowering elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. In the overall population, evidence is less strong for a benefit from lowering elevated TG and increasing low high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, in part because elevated TG and low HDL levels are more predictive of cardiovascular risk in women than in men.
HDL levels do not always predict cardiovascular risk. For example, high HDL levels caused by some genetic disorders may not protect against cardiovascular disorders, and low HDL levels caused by some genetic disorders may not increase the risk of cardiovascular disorders. Although HDL levels predict cardiovascular risk in the overall population, the increased risk may be caused by other factors, such as accompanying lipid and metabolic abnormalities, rather than the HDL level itself.
The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes is characterized by a defect in insulin secretion, peripheral insulin resistance (decreased glucose uptake by the muscle cells and adipocytes), and increased hepatic glucose output. Insulin resistance is fundamentally important for the development and progression of type 2 diabetes, resulting in an increased demand for insulin secretion that is theorized to lead to β-cell exhaustion. The hepatic and peripheral insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes contributes to hyperglycemia and is often associated with hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study confirmed the need to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Improvement of insulin sensitivity by regular exercise and weight loss may reduce the progression of type 2 diabetes. However, the major lifestyle changes required are difficult to achieve and sustain in everyday practice unless the patients are extremely motivated.
Therefore, drugs that ameliorate insulin resistance and improve β-cell function are relevant for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Low HDL-cholesterol is a component of the atherogenic lipid phenotype that is characterized by obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Roughly 80- 90% of all patients with type 2 diabetes belong to this phenotype. Currently this group is estimated to include approximately 50 million patients in the US, EU and Japan. The atherogenic dyslipidemia consists of low HDL-cholesterol, elevations in triglyceride-enriched remnant particles, and normal to borderline LDL-cholesterol levels with a predominance of small, dense LDL particles. Several studies have found that raising HDL-cholesterol in patients with a low baseline serum concentration may be effective for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD): The VAHIT (Veteran's Affairs HDL Intervention Trial) using gemfibrozil; a trial of simvastatin and niacin; ARBITER 2 trial (arterial biology for the investigation of the treatment effects of reducing cholesterol) examining the effect of extended-release niacin; and the infusion of ApoA-I Milano trial. Triglyceride-lowering has also received increased attention in the recent past.
Fibrates and nicotinic acid are fairly efficacious, but the potential interaction of fibrates with statins and the safety profile of nicotinic acid are factors that limit the use of these classes considerably. Similar to HDL, triglycerides have generally been perceived less significant in the risk profile of a patient and are often only treated if very elevated, but this may change with the availability of new efficacious and safe treatment offerings.

Overnight baked stuffed French toast
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking spray
Coat a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray. Layer 10 slices of bread in the bottom of the baking dish (you may need to cut some slices to fit). Top evenly with cream cheese slices, then remaining bread slices.
In a large bowl, whisk together egg substitute, milk, vanilla extract, syrup, and cinnamon. Pour over bread, coating all the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or 8 hours.
Remove from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature 15 minutes while oven preheats to 350ºF. Bake 1 hour, or until all liquid is absorbed and the French toast is set in the center. When the top begins to brown slightly, lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the baking dish.
Cut into 12 pieces and serve with Rise-n-shine raspberry syrup.

Speaking: Your Slides != Your TalkPosted: June 14, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: speaking | Tags: design, obama, slides | Leave a comment »
Slides are the supporting structure for your talk, not the main event. Speak the meaty and informative portion of the presentation out loud and use slides as a backdrop to set either the emotional tone or reinforce the message that you are trying to convey.
For example, I love using this image of Obama in Berlin as a backdrop when I talk about the growth of social data over the last several years. In this image every single person has a device and is generating their own data about their shared social experience. The content of the image supports what is otherwise a fairly abstract statement, and you can feel the excitement of the crowd, boosting the excitement that I want to share about the possibilities of social data.
This is a particular style of slide design will fail for situations where "the Powerpoint" will be shared independently of the talk, and it's not appropriate for all content, but it is a ton of fun when you can get away with it and uses people's expectations about what they are going to see (a speaker and some slides) to create a more compelling experience.

Hey Yahoo, You're Optimizing the Wrong ThingPosted: September 18, 2012 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: data, design, product, yahoo | 26 Comments »
I was visiting my grandparents yesterday, and my grandfather asked for help e-mailing an article to some of his friends. I asked him to show me how he normally writes an e-mail, and taught him the magic of copy and paste (it is amazing if you haven't seen it before) but I noticed that in the course of sending an e-mail and checking on his inbox, he clicked on this ad three times.
When I asked about it, he didn't realize he had clicked the ad — he just thought these screens popped up randomly — because he didn't realize that his hands were shaking on the trackpad.
I'm sure the data says that that's the optimal place on the screen for the ad. I'm sure tons of people 'click' on it. I'm also sure it's wrong, and it results in a terrible experience.
It's common sense, but experiences like this are great reminders that data only takes us so far, and creativity and clear thinking are always required to find the best solutions.
Yahoo, please fix this!
