modmodmod I'm starting Middle School soon and I'm so scared! I'm afraid Ill get lost or forget my locker combination! How can I calm myself down? Please help!
Hey girl! Remember- everyone in your class will be starting school with you, so chances are, you aren't the only person worrying about it! If you can, head to the school a day or two before classes start to get the lay or the land a little- grab your BFF and explore. Check out where your classes will be and where the cafeteria is. As for your locker combo- figure out a place you can write it down where you know it won't get lost- maybe in your planner or on the back of your schedule. Trust me- once you go in your locker a few times a day for a week or so, that number will stick with ya the rest of the year! xoxo

Um? I'm not going to be friends with someone just because they're smart or good at sports.
by fencergirl97 on 8/2/2011 9:19:48 PM
well, this year i am gonna hang out with no gossipy, back stabby girls. i am sick and tired of them. this year is going to be a new start for me! new friends, i made an oath to myself to not gossip. i have made too many mistakes last year. my advice is; dont gossip please! and dont try to be someone you're not. i have been there and back and i have learned a lot. i lied. and i feel horrible. just don't girls! sorry it might sound cheesy! <3luvlife<3

So if you don't know what to wear that weekend, what to tell that guy, or how to fix that family problem, contact me Holla! Peace out.
by naturallywonderful on 8/2/2011 7:56:12 PM
This is just my opinion, but I don't like this because I feel like it's saying that the only reason you should befriend someone who's super-smart or a bit of a "geek" is because they have something to offer you, like homework or tech help. You shouldn't make friendship a business deal, and that goes for everyone. Make friends with someone because you actually like them-- don't seek out stock characters and stereotypes because you think they can give you something you want. That's just plain mean.

i have so many different types of friends! but the first month back i definitely need a fashionista and a chill chick

by topchef88 on 8/2/2011 1:43:25 PM
I have two bffs, otherwise all my friends are not me. My friends are awesome, but my first bff- someone who can listen though she is much better at talking. My second bff- is the neighbor boy who lives aacross the street(He tells me and my other bff who all the guys like). At school last year there was this one boy and he was all my best friends (including me) best friend.
by Nealemk on 8/2/2011 12:41:20 PM
Hey girlies! Just wanted to let you all know that like caitlingirl1997 my BFF is my BGF! its true when u get a real BGF u can talk to each other about anything & ull always be there for each other. but the most important thing to remember when seeking out a BGF is exactly that- you want a friend, not a boyfriend! dont forget that! if u fall for him then still be friends but seek out another guyfriend that u dont like- and if ur one of those girlies who falls for half the guys in homeroom, try talking to the girls in ur group about your little "guy prob". theyll be happy to help u narrow it down to just 1 or 2 guys to crush on. when trying to make friends with a guy remember not to flirt but to just be friendly & be as helpful as possible (guys usually aren't into helping each other out w/ assignments & girls, so he'll be way grateful for your help!). when u do become friends, ALWAYS remember that even if ur BFFs u still need girlies & he still needs his guys! hope this helps! <3
by sparklysydafrid on 8/2/2011 8:54:27 AM
My BFF is also my BGF....yep, my BFF is not a girl...so if you guys are looking for a BFG but you find it difficult...first realize that wearing a pound of makeup and talking to him about boys is not how you start out. Eventually if you become super duper good friends...like my BFF and I, he can talk to you about girls and you can tell him about all the cute guys..no problem, no weirdness. Just start talking and if you end up sharing intrests ask him to sit with you at lunch, or be your social studies partner, just keep the convos going and eventually he might think you're kinda cool too!

Organic foods have been around for a while now. Some of us are even used to having them every day now. But can you really differentiate organic foods from non organic ones? Can you pick which one is which if two oranges are placed right in front of you, both delicious looking and beautiful in colour? Both full of Vitamin C, both with a good amount of fiber, both free of cholesterol, so which one do you choose and how? Get the facts right before you go grocery shopping the next time.
The biggest reasons why more people are now switching to organic foods are fewer pesticides and more nutrients. Studies have shown that organic foods have about 40% more nutrients than foods grown the conventional way. Most of us don't make a fuss about eating traditionally grown foods but those who feel they could opt for organic alternatives and consume foods minus the pesticides and added nutrition have several options at the supermarket.
"Organic" really means the way farmers grow and process their agricultural produce. Organic farming focuses greatly on soil conservation and causing less pollution whatsoever. If a crop is grown organically, it would simply mean that there are no fertilizers, chemicals or pesticides used on them which compared to non organic foods, makes them safer to consume. Farmers use more of manure or compost to enhance plant/crop growth when cultivating organically.
How to trust which foods are genuinely organic and which aren't, you ask. Well, in most countries that let you buy organic foods, there are certification programs that require the growers to meet certain standards of quality. These standards are parameters to keep the growth, treatment and processing of organic foods in check. So you can always ensure for Government approved labels that ensure those foods have been cleared as healthy to eat!
The bottom line is that however, there is more nutrition in organic foods as compared to their non organic counterparts but even then there isn't a fool proof way to ensure if they have been exposed to chemicals or fertilizers in an indirect way. If purchasing all foods of organic produce is not an option for you, choice wise or financially (organic foods are more expensive), you can just buys those foods that are generally the highest contaminated like Apples, Celery, Strawberries, Spinach, Grapes, Potatoes, Blueberries, Lettuce, etc.
So, weigh your options and make the pick, organic or non organic.

Opened | July 5, 1909 |
The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge (previously called the Shelby Street Bridge or Shelby Avenue Bridge) is a truss bridge that spans the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. It was originally opened on July 5, 1909, and was reopened as a pedestrian bridge on August 3, 2003. The bridge spans 960 m (3,150 ft)[1] and is one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world.
Early history[edit]
The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge was originally known as the Sparkman Street Bridge and was built one block south of Broadway, connecting Sparkman Street and Shelby Avenue.[2] The bridge was constructed at a cost of about $475,000. Another bridge called the Jefferson Street Bridge which was virtually identical to it was built at the same time. The Jefferson Street Bridge was opened a year after the Sparkman Street Bridge. The substructures of the bridges were light grey concrete, and the superstructures were made of steel that had been painted black.
The bridge was the first in North America to have concrete arched trusses.
The bridge was designed and construction was supervised by Howard M. Jones, the chief office engineer of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. The original architectural drawings as approved by Jones are archived at the Metro Transportation Offices.
Repair work[edit]
After twenty-five years of use, it became apparent that there was something wrong with the concrete on the Sparkman Street Bridge. The worn surfaces of the concrete were chipped away between 1927 and 1930 and replaced with gunite.
Thirty years later, repair work had to be done again. The Standard Engineering Company of Albany, New York was hired to repair the weathered bridge. They subcontracted the steel work to the Nashville Bridge Company. During this repair time, the Jefferson Street Bridge was also repaired.
National Register of Historic Places[edit]
In 1998 the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge was admitted to the National Register of Historic Places, due mainly to the unique truss design. Both the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and the Jefferson Street Bridge were considered. The Jefferson Street Bridge was rejected because of its similarity to the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and the fact that the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge was in better condition. The Jefferson Street Bridge was demolished in 1990 to make way for a new bridge that could handle more traffic.
Closure and reopening[edit]
State inspectors declared the bridge to be in "poor" condition in 1992, and the bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in 1998. The bridge was originally slated for demolition. However, due to aesthetic, architectural, and historical considerations, it was decided that it should be converted to a pedestrian bridge rather than be demolished. The success of the Walnut Street Bridge as a part of Chattanooga's urban renewal efforts was a major consideration in keeping the bridge.
The bridge was refurbished and includes an elevator, ramps, and stairways. The bridge has a center lane that is fifteen feet across to accommodate bicycles. Originally it was thought that a trolley might use the center lane, but that idea was abandoned in favor of a bicycle lane. On each side of the bicycle lane are 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) elevated boardwalk-style sidewalks. The bridge includes four scenic pedestrian overlooks that, in the metal of the railing, have artistic renderings of the history of life on the Cumberland River. The bridge is dramatically lit at night.
The refurbished bridge is part of the Metro Nashville Greenway system, which is administered by the Parks Department. The Eastern terminus includes a pedestrian plaza with special landscaping and is very close to LP Field. The Western terminus comes out facing the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and is very close to the Country Music Hall of Fame, Music City Center, and Bridgestone Arena.
The refurbishment of the bridge cost in excess of $15 million and was done under the supervision and planning of the Tennessee Department of Transportation. A new bridge called The Gateway Bridge was built to handle the vehicle traffic that used to travel over the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
Music videos[edit]
Due to the bridge's iconic status as a Nashville landmark, it is often seen in country music videos. The video for "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)", the first hit single by Big & Rich, was shot entirely on the Shelby Street Bridge.[3] The video for Emerson Drive's 2007 hit single "Moments" was also filmed on and under the bridge. Several scenes from the 2011 video for "Together You and I" by Dolly Parton were filmed on the bridge.
In April 2014, the bridge was renamed the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in honor of journalist and civil rights advocate John Seigenthaler, who died less than three months after receiving the honor.[4] While reporting for The Tennessean in the 1950s, Seigenthaler once physically prevented a suicidal man from jumping off the bridge.[5]

His sister's name is Ruthie. They're peas in a pod, these two. 'Cept Eugene has long hair and Ruthie's is short.
Patsy feels like she didn't get nearly enough air time there, so here's her solo routine.
If it looks like she's a big girl, she is. Patsy had some breathing difficulty after her spay surgery last week. She shows every indication of being just fine (as you can clearly see), but X-rays indicated that there was a reaction of some sort to the anesthesia. We're holding onto her for another week or so, giving her antibiotics, then re-checking.
Davey and Noreen are still here as well, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that will change very soon. I'll definitely keep you posted!
You long-timers may recall a previous kitten by the name of Ruthie. Ruthie Golightly. This little one is named for someone special. The only thing better than a kitten named Ruthie is two .

In this paper we have investigated the instability of the self-similar flow behind the boundary of a collapsing cavity. The similarity solutions for the flow into a cavity in a fluid obeying a gas law p = Kργ, K = constant and 7 ≥ γ > 1 has been solved by Hunter, who finds that for the same value of γ there are two self-similar flows, one with accelerating cavity boundary and other with constant velocity cavity boundary. We find here that the first of these two flows is unstable. We arrive at this result only by studying the propagation of disturbances in the neighbourhood of the singular point.

About 33 acres of land in northwest Columbia City is now zoned light industrial.
A local business which manufactures products for the military, aerospace and private sectors recently acquired a Pennsylvania-based company to be incorporated into the Columbia City operations.
Breyden Products announced this week that it acquired Gudebrod Inc., based in Pennsylvania.
After nearly six hours of deliberation, a jury of eight women and four men was unable to reach a verdict in the trial of a Pennsylvania man charged with 15 counts of child molesting and 51 counts of sexual misconduct with a minor. Whitley County Circuit Court Judge James Heuer told the jury that it is uncommon to not reach a verdict, but it does occasionally occur. "I do respect the fact that you worked your best to reach a conclusion," he said.

Released: Jan 30th, 2008
Running Time: 179 Min.
Companies: Pink Kitty Video, Juicy,Pink Kitty Video, Juicy Entertainment
John Strong, Andrew Andretti, Christian (I), Derrick Pierce, Lexi Belle, Jaclyn Case, Veronique Vega, Ashley Jensen, Ziggy (II)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Gullible Teens 2 is a pick-up style gonzo in which the cameraman and a male performer cruise neighborhoods in search of easily persuaded young women before sweet-talking them into hardcore action. It's typical Internet-based content. On the plus side, the girls are all worthwhile young newcomers, and the hardcore is solid thanks to a handful of capable male performers.
Stephanie Cain and Ashley Jensen are dolled up as cheerleaders for John Strong. Veronique Vega is dressed for recess and gets drilled by Andrew Andretti during detention. And cutie Lexi Belle gets double-teamed by Derrick Pierce and Christian.
Retailing: Good fodder for the teens department.

Local Democrats Answer New Republican Push In Region With Push Back Of Their Own
By Pat Loeb
PHILADELPHIA (CBS ) — Local Democratic officials remained confident on Sunday that a strong Philadelphia turn-out will give the Pennsylvania's electoral votes to President Obama on Tuesday.
Tightening polls and Mitt Romney's personal visit (read related story) have created the appearance of a real race in a state that had been on President Obama's side of the ledger for months.
The city's 600,000 votes for Barack Obama in 2008 were a key to his victory and Democratic Party Chairman Congressman Bob Brady is dismissing polls or strategists that suggest anything less this time around.
"We'll do the job we do in the city of Philadelphia," Brady says. "We'll get our majorities out.
Philadelphia has registered fewer new voters for this election than four years ago, but Brady sees no loss of enthusiasm for the president. He's more concerned about efforts to discourage voters, beginning with continued advertising for a voter ID law that is not in effect.
That was also a concern for Pat Coulter of the Urban League, which is running a non-partisan campaign to encourage voter turn-out. But she says she's finding a twist.
"That's been in many ways motivating people to turn out," she says.
Local officials also dismissed Romney's visit to the area as an act of desperation.
"To give you a football analogy in a football town," says former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, "this is a Hail Mary, and Hail Mary's work about one out of a thousand times, and that's my guess is what their odds are here."
Rendell joined with Brady and Mayor Michael Nutter to simultaneously ask for, and promise, a big turn-out in Philadelphia. Taking no chances, they also promoted Bill Clinton's Monday visit on behalf of President Obama.
If you ask why we're doing this," says Rendell. "Is it because we're scared? No, it's because when somebody punches you in the gut, you fight back."

Released: Mar 01st, 2000
Running Time: 80
Director: Bob Chinn
Company: Adam & Eve Pictures
T.J. Hart, Dale DaBone, Nina Hartley, Tina Tyler
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Alternative
Couples... and even their fingers may stray to the FF button.
Veteran director Bob Chinn's return to porn continues with Hard Bound, the story of yuppie Nina Hartley's chance meeting —when her car breaks down on a country road— with good ol' boy Dale Dabone. Hartley's late for sister T.J. Hart's birthday party, but Dabone's no mechanic, and after his truck also won't start, the pair hoof it to civilization via a field, a stream... and the inevitable abandoned barn.
Most of the action between the two is "fantasy": Photographer Hartley, imagining Dabone as her model, delivers a b.j. with an oral finish, while Dabone fancies Hartley licking his chest before he applies tongue to her lower curls. Finally, they do actually fuck, with Hartley furiously fingering her own clit for an orgasm.
Meanwhile, hart and gal-pal Tina Tyler get in some girl/girl loving (look for a real Tyler orgasm) while waiting for Hartley's blind date, James Bonn, to arrive for the party. When he finally does, hot Hart figures he'd rather have a T.J. b.j. —which of course leads to some doggie and mish action, with Tyler soloing in the background and occasionally applying a vibe to Hart's not-so-privates.
But while the sex in this feature is good, it's hard to tell whether the problem with the storyline is poor dialogue, lack of rehearsal or that Hartley and Dabone have little chemistry together. Apparently, after so long an absence from The Biz, Chinn is regaining his "sea legs," and we expect better from him in the future.

Should Gays/Lesbians be able to have IVF? (In vitro fertilisation wiki link for more info) Why or why not? I am all for it. Although, the reason why I ask is because a few of my friends say the child should have a mother and father. This drives me crazy! How would you address that response?

Students touch down at Bristol Airport
News Release (29/09/11)
Over 150 international students will arrive at Bristol Airport over the weekend (Friday 30 September until Sunday 2 October) before commencing courses at the University of Bristol.
The students will travel from 10 different countries on services operated by Air France, KLM, Ryanair, easyJet and Brussels Airlines, with several making long haul connections via Amsterdam and Paris. They will be met at the airport by a welcoming committee from the University and transported to their accommodation by mini-bus.
Jacqui Mills, Public Relations Manager at Bristol Airport, said:
"Bristol Airport is delighted to welcome the students to the South West. This is the third year the airport has helped by providing assistance to the University Ambassadors meeting the new students. For many, this will be a first visit to the UK, so we wanted to make sure their first impressions were positive."
"By flying into Bristol Airport rather than an airport outside the region, the students will reduce their onward journey, meaning they have more time to relax in their new surroundings before getting down to some serious studying!"
Ri'Anna Stueber, Senior International Adviser at the University of Bristol, said:
"The University of Bristol is delighted to be working with Bristol Airport to help coordinate the arrival of our international students. We greatly appreciate the co-operation and enthusiasm Bristol Airport has demonstrated in helping us to provide such a warm welcome."
Bristol Airport flies to over 100 destinations across 29 countries, with 11 capital cities being served by direct services.
Each overseas visitor using the airport is currently worth £410 to the South West economy. With the airport's proposed development plans this will result in £1.1 billion of additional visitor spending in the region by 2019/20.

As we enter 2009, all eyes are focused on the economy. Families and businesses are looking for ways to save money and to be more efficient in these challenging days.
During these times it is important for our state leaders, as well, to demonstrate the prudent leadership that reflects our priorities. One of the ways of doing this is to limit the 2009 Legislative session to 90 days.
By Kelly Weist
Leftists all agree that one of the first things the president-elect needs to "change" is the situation at Guantanamo Bay. At least, that's what they thought prior to the election.
Columbine Hills Elementary students, staff, faculty and parents celebrated "A Patriotic Celebration of Song" on Nov. 18 in CHE's auditorium. The celebration was led by the Columbine Hills Elementary choir under the direction of CHE's vocal music director, Emily Mahanna.
Several years ago, I heard former Governor Dick Lamm say that the biggest policy challenge of the 21st Century would be sustainability. At the time, I thought he was speaking primarily about environmental issues, but recent events suggest the word encompasses even more than that.
Of course, environmental sustainability remains a significant issue. As third-world countries catch up to industrialized nations, the problems connected with resource consumption and pollution will continue to grow.
In the span of a month, the Chatfield girls basketball team has gone from pretender to contender in Class 5A Jefferson County.
When you sit back and study the roster, the transformation really shouldn't be surprising.
What should leave you scratching your head is how did this team, which has veteran players at nearly every position, get off to such a slow start?
Well, injuries certainly played a part.
Tobias Archuleta, the man who robbed a South Jeffco bank at gunpoint on July 23, 2008, was sentenced to 19 years in prison Jan. 15.
He was also ordered to pay restitution of more than $83,000.
On a chilly January morning, law enforcement officers from around the state gathered at the state Capitol and urged lawmakers — who face a half-billion-dollar budget shortfall — not to leave their legislative priorities out in the cold.
"I'm very aware that we have issues this year in our economy and our budget," Jeffco District Attorney Scott Storey said Jan. 15 on the west steps of the Capitol. "I also know there's a direct correlation between a poor economy and the crime rate."
In its basketball program, Chatfield senior basketball players are referred to as the "Terrific T's.
But, Tyler Rogers, Taylor Rogers, and Tyler Haidaris better make room for one more T – junior Trevor Wages.
The 6-foot-7 center held his own in the Jan. 23 game against Dakota Ridge. Wages helped guide the Chargers to a 74-61 victory over the Eagles with a big second half contribution. He scored eight points, but more importantly he provided a strong post presence against a Dakota Ridge defense that was not going to back down.
State Sen. Mike Kopp, R-Littleton, and state Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Genesee, hope to pick up where Kopp and former state Rep. Rob Witwer left off in their 2008 work on wildfire legislation.
The duo are teaming up to push a series of bills aimed at reducing the threat of catastrophic wildfire in areas where urbanization and wild lands meet.
The Jefferson County GOP was hit with a subpoena last week in connection with its one-time website administrator, who is a defendant in a federal wiretapping civil lawsuit.
Robert Cook, who owns the Jeffco GOP's website and was hired to do computer work for the party, is one of four defendants in a civil lawsuit brought by longtime county critic Mike Zinna.

If however you choose not to take an alternative Virgin Broadband service your email service will close 90 days after 21st May."
I will be sad to see the end of the dial-up service.

spuds - I have decided to keep my virgin phone line £14.99 a month. ( I only used this for my dial-up internet connection, which will cease on 21st May ... so the phone line will be freed up )
The 18th month BB contract will be £14.50 a month for broadband ... I think weekend phone calls on the virgin line will be free ... and as I don't watch TV much - no TV included in package.

additional info:
I went into town, two days ago, to the Virgin shop to join up for broadband, but the sales assistant had to phone up someone from sales, and then passed his mobile phone to me, and the deal was made over the phone line [I thought this was rather odd].

Aitchbee - the reason why I asked was while I am not on fibre-optic yet, Virgin keeps sending me various promotional offers. But none seem to offer a better deal for me at present. My TalkTalk arrangement includes broadband, free telephone calls after 6pm weekdays Mon/Fri, and free all weekend, providing you use 1 hour durations to the same connection. The landline and 'free customer support' is included in the package. I pay no more than £20.00 a month for that. My last months bill with 2 peak time telephone calls came to £17.89, which included a £5.00 call plan discount.

spuds - it was a case of 'push comes to shove'; the 'six months for free' and £40 off offer seemed liked a wise move, otherwise, I would have continued [only] with my 1Gb/month dongle, which I have decided to keep going anyway at £8.17 a month as it is useful for my recently acquired 7" tablet [toy] to get online - independant of the 'free' wi-fi available at some 'hot-spots', which I frequent.
PS - I've got just over three weeks to clear my house of clutter, so's the Virgin engineer can run the fibre-optic cable without any accidents; it's 'a big ask' for me, hee hee.

As I understand it you live in a flat.Has the building already been wired for Cable,if not I cannot see them running individual cables to all flats it would be a bit unsightly.
Does anyone else in your block already have cable TV.

Jock1e - the nice chap in the Virgin shop looked up his computer and said my address was 'cabled-up' with fibre and I have had many letters from Virgin over the years stating likewise. I'm going ahead with it anyway, but I'll ask one or two of my neighbours to see what they have got in the way of broadband and cable TV.There is a connection-box just inside my front door originally fitted by NTL about 13 years ago, so it should be fairly straight forward to run a cable from there to my computer.

wee eddie - A chat with my good friend and neighbour reassured me this afternoon. His 'up to 30mb' connection allows him to download films at 30mb/s along with cable TV. He's with Virgin.

Since the production of the first pharmaceutically active molecules at the beginning of the 1900s, drug molecules and their metabolites have been observed in the environment in significant concentrations. In this review, the persistence of antibiotics in the environment and their associated effects on ecosystems, bacterial resistance and health effects will be examined. Solutions to these problems will also be discussed, including the pharmaceutical industries input, green chemistry, computer modeling and representative ionic liquid research.
Environmental persistence of antibiotics has become a major concern for governments, regulation agencies and the pharmaceutical/cosmetic industries. Since industry began manufacturing chemicals on large scales in the early 20th century, some chemical compounds within waste, including antibiotics, have been observed in the environment, and in some cases without safe disposal [
The search for greener and safer antimicrobial drugs, which have a reduced impact on the environment can be determined by three main factors:
The effect on the environment due to the synthetic route selected (number of steps, toxicity of reagents, and treatment of waste). Inclusion of impact on the environment studies and lifecycle assessment as part of the drug development process. This should preferably avoid the selection of compounds expected to have a major adverse effect on the environment. A comprehensive evaluation of the toxicity/biodegradation and possible persistence problem of the antibiotic in the environment. This review will focus on the second factor, with the first and third points included for context rather than a review.
Pharmaceuticals are especially designed to interact with biological systems, so their introduction into the environment may lead to an unintended impact in nature (as long as concentrations reach significant levels). For example, it has long been known that excessive amounts of hormones, especially estradiol from birth control pharmaceuticals, can drastically interfere with aquatic species immune systems. Estrogen and androgens can interfere with fish endocrine system and cause disruption to reproductive cycles [
There are a plethora of antibiotics available for human and animal use with many classified into the following categories: β-Lactam/Penicillin, Cephalosporins, Carbapenems, Aminoglycoside, Quinolone, Macrolide, Sulphonamides, Tetracyclines and Peptide antibiotics. There are major points of difference, as well as similarities, between the categories and their modes of actions and administrations. Penicillin, the first antibiotic, discovered by Sir Alexander Flemming in 1928, has widespread use and has undergone many structural changes at the hands of synthetic chemists to give an extensive library of derivatives. Due to an over reliance and ubiquitous use of Penicillin G,
Penicillin G, the gold standard Penicillin antibiotic.
Concentrations of pharmaceuticals in the environment is the major point of contention between proponents of the theory that any level of antibiotics in the environment will promote resistance and those who believe only elevated concentrations can lead to a noticeable effect on bacteria promoting resistance genes [

Similarly in a study conducted by Herwig, R.P.
The increase in resistant bacterial strains occurred at the same time that large quantities of antibiotics were introduced to the fish populations. The resistant populations then stabilized and subsided slightly over the course of the study as selective pressure from antibiotics had been removed from the environment, see
Graphs of % total resistance of bacteria trended with total drug sediment at a fish farm in Puget Sound, WA, USA. Adapted with permission from [
A study conducted by Schnabel and Jones in 1999 [
The evidence from studies conducted in localities where a good control and large sample area are used cannot be ignored, especially when such diverse locations suggest the same results. What is clear from such studies is that introducing antibacterial and antibiotic compounds to an environment increases the numbers of resistant bacteria detectable, and can occur rapidly. As distance increases from the area sampled, the opposite occurs to the number of resistant strains detectable [
Research conducted by Olsen and coworkers in 1999 [
The work conducted by Caian Fan and coworkers in 2011 [
Proliferating bacterial resistance is only one area of concern regarding antibiotics present in the environment. Since antibiotics are designed to inhibit bacterial growth, they also have the potential to disrupt ecosystems and impair ecological functions.
The presence of antibiotics in soil has also been shown to impair nitrification/denitrification processes. It was demonstrated by Kotzerke
The presence of antibiotics in aquatic systems has also been demonstrated to have an effect on algae. In a study conducted by Lanzky and coworkers in 1997 [
Similarly, it has been demonstrated that the commonly used Chloramphenicol and related phenicol compounds can directly inhibit algal growth [
There is a constant battle for survival being fought between the medicinal chemist and bacteria—the goal to be one step ahead of bacterial resistance and provide drugs that are safe for human consumption. Pharmaceutical companies are also continually striving to produce more effective drugs, improve the quality of human life, and satisfy their shareholders. Due to the intense pressures involved in drug design processes, and lack of incentives, there are currently no prerequisites that the drugs on the market need be readily broken down in the environment. Low level concentrations of antibiotics are being allowed to persist in the environment, exposed to bacterial populations. The fates of pharmaceuticals in the environment are well documented and the evidence in the previous section points towards potential long term detrimental effects.
Taking into account the potentially damaging effects of pharmaceuticals on the environment, and the proliferation of bacterial resistance, would it not be better to build in mechanisms by which antibiotics can readily degrade once introduced into the environment? The concept of benign by design is not new and means that ease of degradation is taken into account before an active pharmaceutical ingredient is even envisaged and synthesized. By adding design criteria of ready biodegradability into a drug discovery project, we propose that any lead compounds from such a discovery process are less likely to cause environmental persistence. Currently, however, there are no incentives for pharmaceutical companies to include such criteria in their drug discovery programs. Until there are incentives provided to include lifecycle engineering of drugs as a regulation criteria then pharmaceutical companies will continue to produced APIs with broad spectra of biodegradation profiles [
A set of guidelines known as the "12 Principles of Green Chemistry" have directed green chemists in their research endeavors since the late 1990s, and were proposed by Anastas and Warner. The principles provide a framework that when adhered to can lead to synthetically useful molecules that are conceived, used, and disposed of, in a more environmentally friendly manner [ It is better to prevent waste than treating waste after it is produced [ Synthetic methods should be employed so as to maximize incorporation of all reagents used, in the final product [ When possible reagents and synthetic methods less toxic to human health and the environment should be used [ Chemicals should be designed, fit for purpose, with minimum toxicity to humans and the environment [ The use of auxiliary substances such as solvents, drying agents etc. should be reduced when possible [ The energy required to perform a chemical process should be kept to a minimum, e.g., temperature and pressure conditions of reactions [ Raw materials should be from a renewable source if possible [ Unnecessary use of protecting groups and structural modifications should be avoided to minimise waste production and energy consumption [ Employing catalysts reduces waste and energy requirements and should be used when possible and appropriate, Synthetic molecules should be designed to breakdown in the environment after use to avoid chronic build-up effects. Eventual fate in the environment must be considered [ Real-time process monitoring to control and prevent the production of potentially hazardous materials should be employed [ Safer reagents, procedures and processes should be employed to reduce the change of accidents and exposure of chemicals to the environment and people [
By incorporating the design principles outlined above, chemists from academia and industry can effectively produce molecules that are fit for purpose and pose far less of a risk to the environment. By including biodegradation, toxicity, sustainability and life cycle assessment in design criteria, ranges of safer compounds can be effectively produced with reduced impact on ecosystems.
To analyze a pharmaceutical process or a research project one must first produce a set of standards, tests or a scale with which to measure the projects "greenness". Pioneers of green chemistry metrics in the early 1990s established concepts such as "Atom Economy" (Trost) [
In recent years, there has been a drive in the pharmaceutical industry to produce an API with a minimum amount of waste. There is often an economic incentive as well as benefit to the environment. The largest materials usage in the pharmaceutical industry is solvents, which make up to 90% of material usage producing bulk API [
The atom economy of a reaction represents the percentage incorporation of starting materials into the final product, so a reaction with 100% atom economy will have complete incorporation of all starting materials into the product. For example, a Diels-Alder reaction can have up to 100% atom economy, whereas a Wittig reaction in general is rated with a very low value. However, percentage yield is not a consideration when calculating the atom economy. In addition, atom economy, which can be very easily calculated from a reaction scheme, does not take into account solvent and bulk materials used in the process (e.g., product isolation). The Sheldon "Environmental Factor", or E-factor, does include solvents and waste parameters and is a simple calculation of waste quantity divided by product quantity; the lower the number the more environmentally acceptable the process.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is the study of a chemical compounds affects the environment, from inception to destruction. LCA is now recognized as a distinct field of study and can potentially analyze the overall impact of any step of a process to the environment. There are currently two ISO standards in place regarding Life Cycle Assessment. They are ISO 14044 and ISO 14040. These international standards outline a framework for LCA by breaking any assessment down into four phases. These phases are:
Goal, Scope and Definition of a Study; The Life Cycle Inventory—A Comprehensive and Exhaustive Analysis of all Interactions of a Product with the Environment; Life Cycle Impact Assessment—Analyzing the Data Gathered in Phase 2 to Assess the Overall Impact of the Object of the Study; Interpretation of Results—Interpreting Consequences of Data Gathered from Phase 2 and 3, Making an Informed Conclusion and Proposing Suggested Courses of Action.
In a 2004 case study performed by GSK, in association with North Carolina State University, a "cradle to gate" of API production was carried out. The study fully assessed every material on a particular production tree, analyzed energy uses in all steps, and included waste streams and transport energy in the considerations. Using GSK's own in-house metrics the impacts of API production were fully analyzed from when the raw materials entered production to leaving the gate (Note: The fate of these products downstream was not included.). The results of the study found that solvent use is accountable for 75% of total energy use in the API production, and that great benefits can be obtained by more efficient solvent disposal, recycling and optimization [
ADME is one of the oldest acronyms adopted by medicinal chemists and is a broad description of a drugs lifecycle in the human body. The shortcomings with such a coverall are that once the drug is excreted its effects are no longer considered. A more recent appendage to ADME is "Toxicity" to the acronym. This highlights the importance of toxicity parameters as part of the drug development process, but is usually limited to effects within the body (
Computational screening methodologies are usually preliminary studies before Phase 0 or Pre-Phase I clinical trials. Being in a position to analyze a drugs performance without increasing dosage to critical levels is a powerful asset. The ideology behind Phase 0 trials is that a non therapeutic quantity of the pharmaceutically active compound is administered to a trial participant. The dose while non-therapeutic can still have a measurable pharmacological activity in the body. This sub therapeutic level allows for monitoring of ADMET properties of potential drug candidates with minimal risk to trial participants health [
With simple green chemistry metrics (
Within the pharmaceutical industry, there have been a number of green chemistry success stories. The annual ACS Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge awards highlight numerous areas of green chemistry research especially industrial processes, which have been made more efficient and environmentally friendly. The areas of research promoted include polymer chemistry, antivirals, pesticides, catalytic transformations, enzymatic transformations and renewable feedstock research.
The synthesis of Sitaglitpin, an API used to treat type 2 diabetes, is a recent and prominent example of what can be achieved by industrial collaboration and coordinated efforts with green chemistry research. An incredible improvement was achieved by Merck and Codexis. The greener synthesis once optimized:
Similarly the replacement of Baccattin III in the synthesis of Taxol—Baccattin III formation being a major breakthrough by reducing the synthesis of the API from 40 steps to 11 transformations—using plant cell fermentation technology allows BMS to
The above examples bring together engineering, biology and chemistry to solve problems, which lead to more environmentally sustainable and financially viable processes. However, though there have been some exceptional successes within the pharmaceutical industry, there is a notable observation that no awards have yet been presented for improved antibiotic manufacture.
The research areas of interest to the Gathergood research group include ILs surfactant molecules, solvents and organocatalysts. Projects conducted by the group incorporate biodegradation, ecotoxicity and antimicrobial activity studies. By including these parameters into the research conducted, the potential environmental impact of developing such molecules can be analyzed and data sets on novel molecules can be produced. The data collected assists further understanding of how biodegradation and toxicity of new molecules can be predicted, and ultimately direct and promote research at the early stage of the development cycle.
The area of IL research offers exciting new possibilities in safer and greener medicinal products. There has been an upsurge in the past two decades into research being conducted in the field of ILs. ILs have been described as molten salts that are entirely ionic in nature, comprising both a cationic and anionic species and by definition having a melting point below 100 °C [
Although ILs were first synthesized over one hundred years ago, the term ionic liquid is relatively modern. Previously the compounds synthesized would have been classed under a variety of terms including—molten salts, surfactants, detergents and electrolytes. The last term, electrolytes, has particular significance to the design of biodegradable ionic liquids. Electrolytes need to be stable, usually under aggressive conditions e.g., in a battery, capacitor or solar cell, and research in this area was targeted towards robust structures with long shelf lives. Of interest since the 1940s, the design of chemically inert (persistent, non-biodegradable) electrolytes was proceeding concurrently with the search for biodegradable surfactants! In addition, high antimicrobial toxicity of quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC's) comprised of an ionic head group and long alkyl of PEG chain is widely reported. This can also have a significant negative impact on the environment especially if biodegradation is poor, leading to bioaccumulation.
The toxicity of some ILs is undesirable in most "green" chemistry applications, but this tuneable property may be exploited and used beneficially in the development of antimicrobials, pharmaceuticals, solvents and surfactants. A number of groups have recently demonstrated the potential biological applications of ionic liquids in drug delivery and as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Rogers and co-workers prepared a room temperature IL based on the local anaesthetic Lidocaine [
Lidocaine docusate IL.
Antibiofilm properties of ILs have been reported in a number of papers (including recently by Gilmore
Incorporation of ILs with antimicrobial activity as fillers for bone cement and dental applications has been demonstrated by Marr and coworkers in 2009 [
Within the Gathergood group, the design criteria for compounds synthesized includes biodegradation, ecotoxicity, and antimicrobial activity studies. Preliminary biological screening, toxicology screening and biodegradation screening was conducted on compounds synthesized. Readily biodegradation studies are performed using the Closed Bottle Test OECD 301D and CO2 Head Space Test ISO 14593.
This group reported in 2012 an investigation studying the incorporation of amino acids into IL cations. A series of amino acid ILs (

To date, biodegradable surfactants have been developed. The dominant design strategy adopted to promote biodegradation has been the inclusion of ether and ester linkages, however examples of readily biodegradable amide bond containing amino acids, including gemini surfactants, have been synthesized [

Investigations into anion effect were also conducted and it was observed that groups containing the octyl sulfate anion appeared more readily degradable. Further alterations of the alkylimidazolium cation were achieved by incorporating various oxygenated moieties such as polyethylene glycol. It was demonstrated that long chains could be attached to the cation core without increasing the antimicrobial toxicity by incorporated ether linkages.
Comprehensive data sets, have been reported, on both the cation and anion effects on biodegradation and toxicity of ILs [
The library of compounds produced also illustrates the potential for a rational design process in pharmaceuticals and surfactants with a requirement for environmental friendliness in compounds produced and a potential for "benign by design" [
The consequence of the tandem approach of biodegradation and toxicity screening manifested itself in the recent "hit" MRSA selective molecule synthesized by the Gathergood group as part of a larger library of ionic liquids. The hit molecule, shown previously in
The potential of ILs as alternatives to "hard" antimicrobials may also be exploited. "Soft" antimicrobials are described as biologically active compounds that are readily degraded into nontoxic and benign chemicals
Little is currently known about the potential health effects on populations exposed to trace amounts of antibiotics and how they could affect our ability to combat disease and live healthy lives.
From the observations highlighted in this review and numerous studies performed in the field, it has been widely accepted that accumulation of pharmaceutical compounds in the environment can affect animal and plant life. Whether or not a chemical compound has a known effect in the environment, best practice is to avoid persistence. The long term effects cannot always be known until a protracted period of time has elapsed. For example, are persistent antibiotics directly linked to the increasing number of resistant bacterial strains? It is difficult to give a definite answer to that question without large scale sampling over a long period of time. Therefore, we propose it is better to adopt a precautionary approach.
Giving bacteria the opportunity outside (or inside) hospitals the possibility to develop resistance to new drugs counteracts the progress of creating "better" antibiotics, if their efficacy is allowed to be undermined.
Similarly, the recent outbreak in Europe in the summer of 2011 of Enterohaemorrhagic
With the ever increasing acceptance of green chemistry metrics as benchmarks in pharmaceutical processes, the potential for a new age of cleaner more environmentally acceptable pharmaceutical production and research is possible. Solvent selection, waste recycling and integration of biological reactions and enzymatic steps has been shown to be highly successful in replacing traditional organic methods of synthesis. By adopting lifecycle assessment and biodegradation/toxicity parameters into a drugs design program the potential for environmental persistence of antibiotics can be reduced. The technology and the datasets for predicting a drugs characteristics are only getting better as time goes on, it is whether there is the will or the initiative to employ such methods in research that will decide how persistence of antibiotics in the environment is dealt with, or ignored.

Nick has spent his life avoiding commitment after a lifetime of domestic abuse. He was successful until one man embroiled in a life of abuse, unable to break free, makes him want to take a risk on love.
Samuel has spent so long being abused he can see no other way. When Nick shows him love does not mean pain, he runs from fear of the unknown and struggles to break free.
Two men come together on the beaches while on vacation and their lives are forever changed. Can Samuel break the cycle, or will Nick spend his life pining for the one man who makes him believe love is possible?
Warning, do not pick up Loving Samuel expecting an easy romance. What you will get is an edgy love story filled with pain and confusion. In the end the love just may be stronger for the pain. One would think the character Samuel will tug on the heart strings, but in the end Nick is the character the reader empathizes with. I enjoyed the story of Nick and Samuel, but it is a painful read and will leave the reader a bit raw and unsettled.

really? 5pts of all the products produced by Infinity/Nissan the execs chose to partner with an F1 great to great what is basically a push-over design investment in a reasonably high selling sportish SUV? The last time F1 drivers helped produce vehicles for automakers things like the NSX, Enzo, F430 Scuderia, and theMP4-12C were created? Why not a special edition GT-R or 370Z? Or if you wanted a special edition G coupe? Actually take advantage of his racing/development knowledge and create something memorable, something to brag about, not some regrettable financial buffer... #facepalm...
david 5pts The new FX Sebastian Vettel special edition model seems to come with compact, yet spacious interior designing, and a total of just around 200-units are expected to be produced.
Thor 5pts because you like cars that go arround circles (nascar) hahahah, how can you see fun in that? I hope the track in austin will take to Usa the real world of racing.
mt 5pts They're not as wide as you think. The one pic is showing the right rear and the left front which makes it look wider than it is.
mt 5pts This thing seems like an oxymoron. If you're gonna' make a performance SUV, make it a performance SUV from the get-to. Don't take a luxo-barge and try to sport it up. Ugh. But I can see this terrible thing selling well in the middle east. Let's hope it has bomb proof side panels over there.
TybeeJim 5pts Hey! It's an SUV! Go chase a Porsche Cayenne S if you can. As for me, look at the gas prices. I think I'll hold onto my Audi Q5 2.0T with very reasonable performance and way better gas mileage. This car, the FX, has always been ugly to me and less useful as an SUV than a pregger pig.
Nick 5pts God this thing is such a beast. I've always loved the FX, even more in its second generation. It's one of the few cars out there that actually looks like an animal. So alive and fierce.

Help me Identify an AR Upper!
I've been working on a budget AR build after winning a complete Frontier polymer lower for $75. After placing a WTT/WTB add for a complete upper locally, I met with an LEO who traded me an older upper he had for my Kahr PM9. I valued my Kahr at around $525 (even though I only paid $325 for it), was wondering how y'all thought I did.
It's a 20" upper with bcg. Looks used but in good shape. Has forward assist and dust cover. He said it was an Olympic arms upper but nowhere is it stamped with the manufacturer. It doesn't have a railed gas block which I find odd for a factory upper, it will be scoped anyway. The only markings are on the barrel where it says: SUM 5.56 Can anyone confirm this as an Olympic arms? And how did I do on the trade? for ID: |

Upper receivers aren't marked, with a few exceptions like PSA.
Do you see anything on the barrel indicating if it's 1/7 twist or 1/9? An upper like that can usually go for anywhere from $400-$550 new, depending on a couple things. |

The first result on an internet search for "SUM 5.56 barrel marking" comes up with an Olympic Arms website. That page says "SUM" stands for "stainless ultra match," supposedly Oly's most accurate barrel. HOWEVER, they also say they only chamber those in .223, not 5.56, so that is a discrepancy. That same page does say that they use a black oxide finish on their stainless barrels, and that requires a bit more care than the usual parkerizing on a normal carbon steel barrel.
http://www.olyarms.com/index.php?opt...d=27&Itemid=42 In regards to the chambering, this page appears to be an Olympic Arms owners' forum, and indicates that even though the barrel is stamped 5.56, it has a .223 chamber (as per Olympic's site, that would be a SAAMI minimum spec .223 chamber- a VERY tight one). http://www.oa2.org/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=13697 Therefore, yes, it looks like an Olympic upper (or at least barrel, which is the important part). Moreover, it's a minimum spec .223 chamber, so I'd caution you against using any 5.56x45 ammunition in it. The throat in a .223 chamber is slightly tighter and the pressure spec slightly lower; using 5.56 in the rifle might well be fine, but you're risking a dangerous situation. On the bright side, Olympic Arms has a rep for accuracy, so I'd anticipate if you feed it quality .223 ammo it should be a real tack driver. |

That forearm looks like the one on my old Olympic Arms. I had an upper with one just like that. They have a railed one that fits and it only cost me about $100.00. Mine fit on the same barrel nut as the smooth forearm.
It is $167 now but still not too bad. http://www.olyarms.com/index.php?opt...d=81&Itemid=37
