Cramping is your body's way of saying you are running on empty, electrolyte wise. To keep your body's muscular, digestive, nervous, and cardiac system running top notch, you need a consistent supply of all electrolytic minerals, not just sodium and potassium. Don't grab the standard ready to drink electrolyte replacement. There are too few electrolytes, and too much fluid, which reaps havoc on your stomach, muscles, and performance. Create your optimal mix of Endurolyte powder with water, to obtain optimal performance. Hammer added 50mg of the amino acid Glycine, which helps to neutralize the salty bitter taste of electrolytic minerals.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Hammer Endurolyte Powder 150 Serving:
I have been using this product in my daily water bottle. I noticed after day two that it does not mix with water very well. I am assuming this is the protein component. It just floats on the top or sticks to the sides of the water bottle. Cleaning of the water bottle required heavy scrubbing with a bristle brush. I would not recommend putting this product in a hydration bladder. The product seems to work but Hammer needs to work on a better formulation.

I was recently conversing with someone about what excites (and stuns) French people when they come to the United States. Supermarkets are always interesting places to go; last time I took Romain to one in Florida, he came out and said "Pas de stress!" because shopping in a French supermarket can be an exercise in frustration. (Which is putting it mildly.)
Someone suggested that I take him to a bank, because there is no place more stressful, or more unwelcoming, than a bank in France. I was recently having a discussion about how distrustful my bank seems to be of customers and a friend stunned me by saying that banks have so many rules and blockades in place because "…you shouldn't be trusted with your own money."

calcitriol - oral, Rocaltrol
GENERIC NAME: CALCITRIOL - ORAL (KAL-si-TRYE-ol)
BRAND NAME(S): Rocaltrol
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Calcitriol is a man-made active form of vitamin D. Most people get enough vitamin D from exposure to the sun and from fortified food products (e.g., dairy products, vitamins). Vitamin D helps control parathyroid hormone and the levels of certain minerals (e.g., calcium, phosphorus) that are needed for building and keeping strong bones.Before regular vitamin D can be used by the body, it needs to be changed to the active form by the liver and kidneys. Calcitriol is used in patients with kidney disease who can't make enough of the active form of Vitamin D. This medication is also used to prevent and treat certain types of calcium/phosphorus/parathyroid problems that can happen with long-term kidney dialysis or hypoparathyroidism. Calcitriol is usually used along with specific diet recommendations and sometimes other medications.OTHER This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.This drug may also be used to treat and prevent certain bone diseases (rickets, osteomalacia) when regular vitamin D does not work.

The French have a lot of protests and manifestations. Some of the issues they march for are a bit of a reach and we roll our eyes. And it's annoying when the trains and other forms of transport go on strike and you need to get somewhere. But on the other hand, it's good that they feel strongly about certain issues, enough to hit the streets. So yesterday there was a mouvement social in my neighborhood. But the one yesterday was an issue I could easily get behind.
Many people have an image of France as being an agricultural country, packed with farmers growing produce and selling it at local markets. This is pretty true outside of the major cities, but only two of the outdoor markets in Paris are "farmer's" markets: a majority of the merchants buy produce from Rungis, which they boast is the largest market the world, and the produce gets resold at the open air markets sponsored by the ville de Paris.

Foods that double as beauty products
By Jessica, Pure Matters
A few years ago, I discovered the EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database. I immediately began looking up the products I regularly used to see how dangerous they were, and the results floored me -- even the so-called "natural" beauty items I had been using contained harsh chemicals. It's no secret that we all come into contact with environmental toxins every day, but to be purposely using products every day that contained known carcinogens seemed like an unnecessary price to pay for beauty. So I started experimenting with stuff that I already had in my kitchen. Here's what I use today:
I've always had that kind of not-curly-enough, not-straight-enough wavy hair that is too in the middle to look good without product. Or, I did until I ditched shampoo in favor of baking soda. I fill an old hair dye bottle with one tablespoon of baking soda and eight ounces of water, dampen my hair, apply as much as I need to my scalp and massage. It's like a gentle clarifying shampoo with no buildup. I have bangs, so I generally use it on the front of my hair every day or two, and on the back every two or three. Combined with my natural conditioner below, I don't even need product to give me soft, shiny waves.
When I first started researching natural conditioners, apple cider vinegar kept coming up and I dismissed it, because who wants to smell like apple cider vinegar all the time? The fact is, you need such a small amount of ACV that it doesn't smell at all. I use the same ratio as the shampoo: one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar: eight ounces of water. It is hands down the best detangler I've ever used. These two products have changed my contentious relationship with my hair forever.
When I started discussing using natural oils as moisturizer with my friends, I was surprised by how many of them were already doing it. The three that came up most often were coconut oil, hemp oil, and jojoba oil. Finding which one works for you takes some trial and error, but here's what works for me: coconut oil as my heavy-duty nighttime moisturizer, and hemp oil as my light daytime one. Bonus: the hemp oil minimizes fine lines. My skin has never looked better.
Confession time: I am, more often than not, unprotected in the sun. It's laziness on my part -- I only want to use sunscreen without dangerous chemicals, and many of the natural versions are either not really natural or kind of terrible. I haven't bothered to do the research required to make good choices about protecting myself from UV rays. The upside of my recklessness? I made an amazing discovery two summers ago at the Jersey Shore. Breakfast with the in-laws turned into an hour-long walk in the hot sun, and my fair, unprotected skin didn't make it out unscathed. Except on my face, which had been moisturized with hemp oil and wasn't even red. After doing some research, I realized that many natural oils contain moderate levels of SPF. I'd never tell you to ditch your sunscreen completely, but if you're using a natural moisturizer, you're probably getting some protection from UV rays as well.
Awhile back, my brutally honest hair stylist informed me that, at 36 years old, it was about time I started exfoliating. I tuned out when she started listing good products, but I heard the overall message. After playing around, I found a combination I liked: olive oil, lemon juice and white sugar. Other ingredients that work well for facial scrubs include honey, yogurt, almond meal and oats.
Acne Treatment
In my early 30s, I learned a bummer of a lesson: acne doesn't end in your teenage years, especially if you're a woman. Ah, hormones. But when I started using coconut oil as a moisturizer, my face cleared up tremendously. My dermatologist was dubious, but there's a lot of anecdotal evidence to suggest that coconut oil works on acne. For stubborn blemishes that don't respond to the coconut oil, I've found that a little bit of apple cider vinegar at night will generally clear them up in a day or two.
Keep in mind that these are the natural products that work best for me, and it took a lot of trial and error to figure it out. If you're interested in being a more natural beauty, though, you'll probably find it's worth the work. I know I did.
Lest you think I'm more virtuous than I actually am, I haven't given up everything. I plan on being an unnatural redhead until the day I die. None of the truly natural deodorants stopped me from smelling like I'd been at an outdoor concert for three days in August. And I love my mascara with a passion. But I am proud to say I've probably cut down on the dangerous chemicals by about half, which, in my opinion, isn't half-bad.

Obviously Arc'teryx products are some of the most expensive on the market, but in my experience they're absolutely worth it. The level of craftsmanship is incredible. Every seam and stitch is perfect. The fit is so much better than anything else out there. I'm 6'1", 170 lbs, and have very broad shoulders and long arms...I bought a size medium. The cut and fit is just perfect. I love the Gore-Tex ProShell, but know that it tends to be pretty loud when you're moving. Definitely not a stealth fabric. The jacket is crazy light, but also bomb-proof...it's an uncanny paradox. Super waterproof, but definitely not as breathable as eVent, Dry Q Elite, etc., but I think probably a bit tougher. Probably the perfect jacket unless you plan on doing something super active and will be sweating a lot. Overall, absolutely amazing jacket. You'll love it.
Sure the DWR coating that they originally put on the shell for waterproofing has long since worn off, and I've reconditioned it once or twice. However since I haven't put any more coating on it in a while, whatever had been there had worn off when I went for the walk in the rain. So expectantly, the outer layer of fabric in the laminent got wet and absorbed a tiny bit of water (can't help that), but nothing got through the GoreTex laminent.
The attention to fit, funcionality and design is impeccable. Breathes very nicely and zippers in the pits are huge to allow for adjustment of airflow. Zippers are a little stiff and hard to work with gloves on. Hood is very roomy and cut low to cover your waist band of pants. Allows for ample layering without being restrictive. Must buy item.
Enough cant be said about this jacket and its overall functionality and fit. Superior water repellency along with being waterproof. Water along with snow, just beads up and falls off. Cut to allow for layering underneath but still efficient in its cut. The hood allows for great customization for fit. Pitzips have waterproof zippers that when unzipped ventilate quickly. Front pockets are roomy and well placed for stowing gloves, firestarting kit, etc. the collar is able to be zipped up and doesnt annoy my face when its really blowing. Really no other waterproof shell needs to be owned. Extremely happy with this piece of gear and it is on every trip, whether its to the backcountry to fish or hike or the mountain to ski. Buy it and you wont be sorry.
This jacket rocks. Weighs nothing and is incredibly breathable. Used it in the Shawnee National Forest in southern IL in July (wicked humid time of year) and didn't feel stuffy in it at all. It's comfortable and the pockets are big enough to store my i-phone, a knife, a lighter, and some other random items. My one complaint is that the waist may be a bit small for my liking. During the summer (and fall I presume) the jacket fits great because I'm not too layered up. I'm a bit worried about how it will perform in early spring on the mountain when I am layered up. I have the small and I am roughly a 31" waist.
Arcteryx, Alpha LT, nice. I am so damned tired of all the BS some of these companies spew about protecting the environment while manufacturing all their stuff in either China, Vietnam or else where over there. You guys seen the air in China lately, like berating out of a diesel trucks exhaust. Arcteryx makes this stuff in Canada where they actually give a sh _ _ about there citizens. This is an outstanding hardshell that too me is PERFECT, light as a feather but tuff as nails. I have the Theta AR and the Alpha LT along with a number of other AX products. Not one of them have EVER disappointed me in any way, which is why if I need something and AX makes it I buy it period.
As a member of Gore MountainTechs, I have the opportunity to field test GORE-TEX gear in some of the harshest conditions. This jacket is seriously top notch. Very high quality outer fabric that has withstood some tough abrasion. Very waterproof, good breathability, and pit zips help in really warm situations. Hood fits helmets well, but can feel a bit bulky without a helmet (even when cinched down). Nice zippers all the way around. A slim fit (which I like) but the waist is just wide enough to fit me. Length is perfect on sleeves and torso (I'm 6', 185 lbs, and have a Medium for this jacket.) Overall would highly recommend this jacket for moderate to extreme conditions.
This is one of the finest pieces of gear I own. It has seemingly flawless construction. I just don't understand how a product can be made so cleanly and effectively. I can almost feel the love of the manufacturers every time I put it on.I must declare that I am a member of the Gore Mountaintechs product testing program, so I sometimes have the privilege of testing Gore-Tex and windstopper gear. Regardless, this piece of gear continues to blow me away. I say this about very few things, but this jacket may actually be worth it's $500 retail price.
I've only had this a month, and I already can't see myself ever going without another Arcteryx Jacket. The fit is perfect. It cuts all wind so you can have less layers and be comfortable without needing extra heat. With the pit zips you can maintain any level of aerobic activity and not overheat. I was worried about the look of the expedition cut, that it might look stupid wearing around town. Not the case at all. It looks great as a casual jacket, yet has all the technical features you need. I sometimes wish I had the handwarmer pockets, but I'm sure I'll get over it. Wore this atop Mt. Washington and I was comfortable with a fleece and the jacket even though the windchill was 5-10 degrees.
This thing is great. You can use it in the summer for rain or throw on some layers and take it out on the river mid winter for some fly fishing. Waterproof, bombproof and will last forever.
I carry this jacket daily in my pack and it packs down to such a small size. I use while i commute to school by bike, it does not ride up which makes it so comfortable to wear while riding. I am 5"10 and 190lbs and large fits perfectly. Thanks Arc'teryx for making such a great product.
I wanted a tough, packable shell. this jacket received great reviews, so i got one. not disappointed. felt great the second i put it on. moves very well with my body. not too loud or crunchy. craftsmanship is top notch. some reviews have said the hood is way too large. not my experience. the cinches work very well in allowing you to shrink the hood to your head size. i have a small head and the hood fits great. i also have a scooter that is my daily driver. i have worn this jacket in driving rain and strong gusts with no problem. jacket also vents great. i have worn it in summer rain storms and do not get that infamous clammy feeling associated with cheaper jackets.

A disturbing new trend—"pet flipping"—has been getting a lot of attention this week.
Pet flipping involves a criminal picking up a pet, either by stealing the animal or claiming to be the pet parent of a missing pet, and then quickly selling the animal for a profit. Is your blood boiling yet? It gets worse!
According to Time, pet flipping is on the rise in cities including Kansas City, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The stolen dogs are often purebred and very valuable. In March, an Indianapolis man was arrested after a three-month investigation found he had been stealing dogs for years, mostly purebred German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls.
"Many of these pets are housed in puppy mill-like conditions until they can be flipped—no food or water, caged and sick," Dawn Contos, of Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, said in an interview following the arrest.
For tips on finding a lost pet, please visit our pet care section.
We'll be on Katie on Monday, July 22 to talk about pet flipping. Check your local listings and tune in!
I am glad about this but have other concerns. I am an owner of a pet store pet. The reason i purchased my dog is because i have gotten dogs from shelters before, but I always experienced problems. One dog was adopted with a clean bill of health years ago, but a week later was sick. I took him back to be treated and was told he had some illness and had to be put to sleep never to return home. My son was six then and he still talks about that at 22. Thee other dog was not the breed i was told he was and had severe abuse issues and was a threat to my children. I could not leave him in the same room with them. I ended up giving him to my grandmother because her pet of 15 years had passed, but she had a very large home and yard with no other pets. They were very happy and they both passed the same year. My concern is because you ban pet stores does not stop puppy mills from breeding puppies. Those puppies will still be in danger and suffer more because there will be no market for them. They will end up in shelters anyway or killed because people like puppies and are less proned to want a full grown dog. Maybe the focus should be legalizing the puppy mills and regulating them for maintenance and safety and quality of care requiring a higher standard of care for each animal that would assure the proper space and health requirements and breeding are available and requiring breeders and owners to have certifications and training. I am not suggesting that dogs from puppy mills di not get sick they are more proned because of the unsanitary conditions and the conditions thier parents may be in but at least a pet store gives you a chance to return the puppy an they usually provide some medical care and follow-up weeks after the purchase where some breeders, once you pay for the pet you do not have that option with most of them. I would prefer the puppy go to a good home than be put down because of the options tht are not available. It is also more likely a person who pays for a pet will take better care of it than one that is adopted. There are several loving pet homes out there, but there are some real monsters out there who think pets a dispensable. especially if they are free or low cost.
That's a very lame reason to not get a pet from a shelter. I have a wonderful dog that I got from the shelter 2 years ago. He just turned 7. Shame on you for slamming dogs that people get at shelters!
Janice my shelter dog is the best dog ive ever had and LOVES kids.. And i fell in love with him with his pic on the shelters website. Just picked him up and he was mine. sure he had some issues like with separation and anxiety but thats normal for some shelter dogs. but 8mths later and hes bout out of all that.
I cannot imagine buying a puppy from a store. All my fur babies, except one, have been rescues - both canine and feline. I bought a Rotti puppy from a friend in 1992 and then spent over $8000 in extraordinary care because of congenital illnesses. I learned a lesson the hard way and lost my beautiful girl when she was 9 yo. As much as I love my friends, they were back yard breeders and my baby girl paid the ultimate price.
My 9 yo 32lb rescued mixed breed that I have now is like the reincarnation of the best of all the dogs I have had in my life. He is a an absolute joy and the light of my life. Next year I plan to adopt a little girl rescue because my heart has so much room for more fur babies.
You go Chris, keep lovinthose fur-babies, tey give a whole lot more tan they receive.
I so agree with the not imagining buying a pet. The only money you should spend to get a fur baby is the adoption and or shots and spay/neuter costs! I cannot reasonably see why anyone would value pets like this. They are simply priceless.....it is a life, which is in turn, invaluable!!!! Breeders should be stopped until all shelters are empty!!!! I do not agree with buying puppies, cats, or any pet for that matter! Adopt, adopt, adopt!!!! It is the only right way!!!! <3 <3 <3
Wouldn't it be great if breeders took a break until the shelters are empty. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks that way! There are so many great dogs in shelters and rescues. Though rescues charge a bit more they are still worth it...:)
nice idea but people want puppies its just the same as adopting people want to adopt a baby not a five year old. I have seen people who have made concoctions with a two or three year old dog they could have and not pay for but chose to go get a puppy and pay for it. People want puppies and they aren't always happy with them as they get older that's why they end up in shelters. I don't see the sense of passing up a dog that shows you that you are important to them for a puppy but people do it and that's why breeding will not stop because of the demand for puppies.
Not true, Tory. not all folks want puppies. I, for one, always adopt older dogs from shelters. If you love dogs you want to help them, and to me, they're ALL beautiful little souls. All they need is a chance. If you want to get rid of a family member for some minor reason, then don't get a dog. Get a stuffed animal.
Wouldn't it be in the best interest of animals if rescues would stop enabling millions of irresponsible people to throw animals away like garbage? Place the blame properly..Rescues, supporting Millions of unacceptable reasons to dump animals among a few necessary ones, for decades. The very definition of a Pet Flipper is: A person or persons/entity that acquires a pet(s) for the sole purpose of selling them for more than the cost of acquiring them. Good intentions are meaningless, the impact of your actions are what matters. Rescues, accepting your "garbage" for tax free surrender donations, regular donations, and adoption donations, all for the purpose of "saving" them from intentional euthania from the very people unwilling to care for them. You want to "get rid of it?", Great, we'll sell it! Oops-we mean "we'll save it"

Robin Walker buys basic groceries, not steak and lobster, with her DSS food and nutrition benefits.
She's disabled and lives on a fixed income. The slightest interruption in her budget ripples into bigger problems.
Now she's learned the "food stamp" aid she expected next week won't come until sometime next month. And officials say there are thousands of Gaston County residents in the same boat.
"I'm a diabetic, and groceries are not cheap for diabetics," said Walker. "When you're living on SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and disability, a delay like this is a big hit."
The Gaston County Department of Social Services has seen the trouble coming for months. It's tied to new software – known as NC FAST – being implemented across the state to improve the distribution of DSS benefits.
In the long run, it's aimed at making things run more efficiently. In the short run, it's doing the opposite, due to the complexities of converting tens of thousands of food and nutrition cases over to the new system, said Rebecca Lamphiear, economic services administrator for Gaston County DSS.
"It's a wonderful concept," she said of the new software system's goal. "But we're not there yet."
Food stamp delays
Pilot counties across the state experienced backups switching to the new software last year. In October, local DSS leaders warned similar problems would likely occur here.
Food stamp cases are the first ones being converted. Medicaid and child support cases will be adapted later, Lamphiear said.
The process involves verifying all the information in each existing case. That means validating birth dates, Social Security numbers and numerous other details, before benefits can continue to go out.
Gaston County DSS has 21,345 food stamp cases, which provide food and nutrition benefits to more than 43,000 people, based on December statistics. It's taking between 40 minutes to two hours to verify the client information in each individual case, Lamphiear said.
"Our process with this started Jan. 21, and until all this came up, we really didn't know what we were facing," she said.
Food stamp recipients have to be recertified every six months to a year, in order to keep receiving benefits. The people experiencing trouble in Gaston County are those whose recertification date is falling from late February through March, Lamphiear said.
It amounts to unfortunate timing.
"If you recertified your benefits in December, you're lucky," she said. "If your recertification is scheduled to occur in March, you absolutely will see a delay in your benefits, unfortunately."
Amid fulfilling their regular duties, 27 DSS case workers are helping to verify data in food stamp cases. Four temporary workers were hired Feb. 11 to aid that conversion, Lamphiear said.
No notification
Walker, who lives in ARP Manor, a senior housing complex in Gastonia, has a recertification date of March 13. She began to wonder why she wasn't receiving any correspondence from DSS, as she usually does, about meeting the deadline to keep her benefits from being interrupted.
She tried calling, to be proactive. Only after she was bounced around to six different people did she finally get somewhat of an answer, she said. She was told to expect at least a three-week delay in receiving her next food stamp aid.
"I wasn't angry," she said. "I was disappointed."
Had she known to expect some delay, Walker said she would have cut back on other spending to prepare for the food stamp shortfall.
"I feel blessed. I'm not trying to complain, and I know there are people worse off than I am," she said from her apartment Wednesday. "But I think there should've been some type of notice generated by (DSS). Why do I have to call to find that out?"
Lamphiear said the state didn't send out any type of mass mailing because it was cost prohibitive. But she sympathizes with food stamp recipients in Walker's situation, and said they're working hard to rectify the problems.
"We're working overtime and doing everything we can," she said. "The unfortunate thing is that if I'm sitting there without food in my house, that's not good enough."

By Pet Naturals of Vermont53 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Oct 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package.

As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
My dog is so affraid of thunder that she just goes crazy, and don't even talk about fireworks! Just one of these lil chews calmed her down so much that she could stay still and not tremble at all. So glad I found this. I will always have this on hand for her. Tee
I've gone through most other calming solutions on the market and am the most impressed by these. Too many of the other all-natural calming treatments upset my dogs' stomachs and don't seem to calm them down much at all. I use these chews regularly with my anxious pug mix (I'll give him one about an hour before I have to leave for work) and I also give them to some of the foster dogs that we have to help them transition into a new home environment or if I have to take them on the train or anything out of the ordinary. I can't say enough good things about them. My only complaint is that I need more than 21 of them and would love a bigger package.

National team competitions
27-33, 20-23, 14-20, 15-30
Tofas SC Bursa romped to a 106-76 victory at Rakvere Tarvas on Tuesday in Estonia to take a commanding lead in their EuroChallenge Qualifying Round tie.
Power forward Joshua Heytvelt connected on four of seven shots from long range and finished with 28 points to lead the charge for the Turkish team, which will look to complete the victory and advance to the Regular Season when the second leg is played in Bursa next week.
The Estonians led briefly at the start of the game before falling behind, yet they didn't appear to be headed for a blowout until late in the third quarter.
Tofas outscored them 13-3 over the last six minutes of the frame to take a 76-61 advantage to the four period.
The visitors then went on a 15-5 run to start finial quarter for a 91-66 stranglehold on proceedings with five minutes still remaining.
Rakvere Tarvas caved in and ended up losing by 30 points.
Also for Tofas, Ukraine international point guard Steven Burtt poured in 20 points and Chinemelu Elonu weighed in with 14.
Samet Geyik, who played for Turkey at the U20 European Championship this summer, had eight rebounds to go with his five points 18:36 of action.
Clarence Jackson's 17 points paced Rakvere Tarvas.
Tofas head coach Ahmet Caki"It was important for us to win the road game. We played a totally different second half and were good in defence. That`s why we won this game. The game was good, spectators were good and the opponent's team fights very well."
Tofas player Joshua Heytvelt"Coach covered it pretty well. We played with confidence. In the first half we changed a lot in defence. We made no mistakes in the second half and came away with a victory. It was a good game."
Tarvas head coach Andres Sober"We could not stop Tofas' leaders at the beginning of the game but we knew that they got a very good team. In the second half of the game there was just forming. But we are happy - it was a historic game for our small club. This is the very first time for us to play EuroChallenge games."
Tarvas player Reimo Tamm"We made too many mistakes on defence so we must work more on it. It is also the start of the season and we have not played so many games yet. But we are moving on."

Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

PSA Rising /DALLAS/ – July 25, 2011 – UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have narrowed the potential drug targets for advanced prostate cancer by demonstrating that late-stage tumors are driven by a different hormonal pathway than previously was thought.
"We have recently discovered that castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is unexpectedly driven by dihydrotestosterone synthesis from adrenal precursors in a pathway that circumvents testosterone," says Dr. Nima Sharifi, assistant professor of internal medicine and senior author of a study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"The dominant pathway to DHT synthesis from adrenal precursors in CRPC [castration resistant prostate cancer] follows an alternative route that bypasses T and requires steroid 5α-reductase isoenzyme-1 (SRD5A1)," Dr. Sharifi writes.

Eldoraigne High caused a massive upset on the first day of the KES Easter Festival when they beat Pretoria Boys' High 19-12.
Click here for more schools stories
Eldoraigne flyhalf Johan Etsebeth kicked nine points, including a sweetly timed drop goal, while their forwards disrupted Boys' High at the breakdown with flank Jaco Coetzee at the forefront.
Eldoraigne led 11-0 at the break courtesy of two penalties by Etsebeth and a well-worked try by scrumhalf Quinten van Schalkwyk.
After some harsh words from their coaching staff, Boys' High were a different side after the break and strung a few phases together.
No 6 Katlego Maake led the fight back when he scored after a charge down, and the try was converted by centre Byron Anderson.
Eldoraigne seemed to lose focus in the second quarter and Pretoria Boys' winger Richmond Collins barged over from 10m out.
With eight minutes to go, Boys' High attacked vigorously but to no avail. Coetzee stole a ball on his own 22m line and Eldoraigne worked the blindside well. Quick hands then saw fullback Johan Barnard round off a neat move in the corner.
Meanwhile, KES snuck home 20-19 against a luckless Marlow Agricultural College. The visitors had an opportunity to win the game, but impressive centre Hanro Louw's penalty sailed wide.
KES took the lead in the third minute when inside centre Jaryd Meyer sliced through the Marlow defence to unleash his centre partner Lonwabo Ntleki, who cantered over for an unconverted try. Lucien Ruiters and Louw then exchanged penalties to make it 8-6 at half-time.
Marlow had the better of the opening exchanges in the second half and hard working No 8 Paul Schoeman thundered over after a neat break by flyhalf Rocco Gouws.
Ahead 15-6 with 17 minutes left to play Marlow should have closed the game out. Instead Gouws knocked on from the kick-off, which allowed industrious flanker Motusi Shuping to pounce on a loose ball and sprint in under the poles from 40m out. Ruiters added the conversion to make it 16-15.
Marlow then surged forward and were awarded a penalty at a scrum, where the visitors dominated the opposition front row all afternoon. Louw duly obliged and Marlow were ahead 19-15. From the ensuing kick-off, which seemed to be Marlow's problem area the whole afternoon, KES won the ball and scrumhalf Daniel Eyre darted down the blindside to score what proved to be the match-winner.
While KES won, many eyebrows were raised at the fact that they had nine substitutes instead of seven. It was an unsavourary episode and quite unsportsmanlike for a festival of this nature.
In the earlier fixture Rondebosch Boys' produced a strong second-half display to beat Westville Boys' 15-11 and end the latter's 10-match unbeaten run.
Rondebosch scored two tries through wingers Justin Fillies and Cameron Wright while Westville's try came from winger Michael Louw. Some stoic second-half defence at the rucks and mauls enabled Bosch to come away with the victory.

Cryotherapy is an effective, minimally invasive procedure for treating prostate cancer. It involves destroying cancer cells by freezing them.
Depending on the extent of the cancer, cryotherapy is usually done on the whole prostate gland. But in some cases, nerve-sparing cryotherapy can be done to protect sexual function. Cryotherapy is also an effective "salvage" treatment when cancer recurs after radiation therapy.
The Cryotherapy Procedure
Nerve-sparing Cryotherapy
Salvage Cryotherapy
Benefits of Treating Prostate Cancer with Cryotherapy
Are You a Candidate for Cryotherapy?
Why Choose Swedish?
The Cryotherapy Procedure
Cryotherapy typically takes 1.5 hours and can be done under either spinal or general anesthesia.
During the procedure:
- Thin needles are inserted through the skin
- Ultrasound imaging and temperature probes precisely target the cancerous tissue
- Harmless argon gas is then circulated inside the probe
- The gas generates temperatures cold enough to freeze the cancer cells
- A special warming catheter is used to protect the urethra
After the procedure, icepacks are applied to the scrotum and perineum for the first day. Patients go home with a catheter which remains in place for about one week.
Patients may experience:
- Swelling or bruising around scrotum and perineum for up to two weeks
- Urinary retention, which can be relieved by the short-term use of a catheter
- Some discomfort sitting for up to two weeks
Side effects are rare, but can include a fistula (an opening between the urethra and the rectum) and incontinence.
Nerve-sparing Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is so precise, surgeons are often able to avoid nerves in the prostate gland that are responsible for causing an erection.
With nerve-sparing cryotherapy, a small portion of the prostate gland is not frozen in order to avoid the nerves responsible for sexual function. Of those men who do lose erections after the procedure, 50% will regain their erections within 3 years.
(Nerve-sparing cryotherapy is typically not possible for someone whose cancer has spread throughout the prostate or has evidence of cancer near the nerves.)
Salvage Cryotherapy
Salvage cryotherapy is the term used when cryotherapy is used when cancer reappears after radiation therapy.
Radiation therapy – including both external and internal methods – is a common treatment for prostate cancer. But if the prostate cancer recurs, salvage cryotherapy is considered by many as the best therapy. It has a cure rate similar to salvage radical surgery – with fewer side effects and a faster recovery.
Benefits of Treating Prostate Cancer with Cryotherapy
A major benefit of cryotherapy is that it can be done on an outpatient basis: about half of all patients go home the same day, and half the next day.
Other benefits include:
- Favorable success rates: the reported cure rate is similar to surgery and brachytherapy
- A quick recovery: Patients typically return to normal activities in about 10 days
- Minimal pain: While most people take anti-inflammatory medications for several days, but narcotic pain medications are typically not needed
- A lower risk of the side effects associated with surgery and radiation, including incontinence, irritable bladder and bowels, and blood loss
- Cryotherapy can also be repeated if prostate cancer should recur at a later time.
Are you a Candidate for Cryotherapy?
Most men with prostate cancer are good candidates for cryotherapy. Men who may not be good candidates include:
- Many whose cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland
- Men whose prostate glands so large, the urinary flow is blocked
- Elderly men who don't want to undergo a surgical procedure
For many man, cryotherapy is not an option simply because it is not available in their areas. Yet cryotherapy is an effective treatment that was approved by the FDA in 2000.
Why Choose Swedish?
While many men with prostate cancer are good candidates for cryotherapy, this treatment is not widely available because of the special training required.
At Swedish, we have the experience and expertise to safely and effectively perform cryotherapy – as well as teach other surgeons how to do it.
In fact, Swedish is one of the few places in the Northwest where you can receive cryotherapy from a highly experienced surgeon who is a regional instructor in the technology.

Men At Arms (Mass Market Paperback)
A Young Dwarf's Dream
Corporal Carrot has been promoted! He's now in charge of the new recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork, Discworld's greatest city, from Barbarian Tribes, Miscellaneous Marauders, unlicensed Thieves, and such. It's a big job, particularly for an adopted dwarf.
But an even bigger job awaits. An ancient document has just revealed that Ankh-Morpork, ruled for decades by Disorganized crime, has a secret sovereign! And his name is Carrott...
And so begins the most awesome epic encounter of all time, or at least all afternoon, in which the fate of a city—indeed of the universe itself!—depends on a young man's courage, an ancient sword's magic, and a three-legged poodle's bladder.

Thank you to the Tahoe House and Coffee Connexion who generously donated items for dad's memorial, to mom's neighbors in Carnelian Bay who offered up their homes for our families to stay in order that they may attend his service; some of these neighbors we'd never even met before, to Hemmings and Jarrett who donated a beautiful wreath to place as a memorial on the roadside and to the Sierra Sun who printed a touching article remembering our dad.

The magic that Ruth Geresy and Lana Sue Dietrich created in turning this year's event into a true Father's Day festival experience was amazing. Their vision and hard work turned the event into a festival with a larger selection of food vendors, hot rod cars on display, new fun items like hula hoops, jewelry, clothing for sale, an expanded beer garden, ice cream, gelato, lemonade, kids bounce house, great local music (The Deckheads, and Sheldon Felich and Friends) along with the traditional ribs and ice cold beer.We just want to share a sincere thank you to Ruth and Lana Sue along with the entire group of wonderful Relay for Life volunteers (including but not limited to Ann, Barbara, Chris, Carla, Heidi, Justine, Eric, Keith, Lisa, Ken, Nikki, Jason, Morgan, Gary, Beverly, Ben, and Don). You created a wonderful event for Truckee. There would be a huge list if we tried to mention everyone but two additional members of the community need to also be singled out. They are Woody with Crux Events and Michael Lathury of Smokey's BBQ who each year go above and beyond to help make the event a success. — Charlie and Nancy Riley,owners of Truckee's Hometown SEARS Store Billy Dutton Uphill a huge successOne hundred fifty racers skied, snow-shoed or ran the grueling climb from the bottom of Squaw Valley to High Camp on April 15, 2012 in the Billy Dutton Uphill race.

Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Initiative, Question 3 (2012)
The following is information obtained from the supporting side of the ballot measure:
- According to reports, if the measure is enacted by voters, the National Organization for Positive Medicine hopes to establish a "marijuana compassion center" in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The group filed signatures for a local initiative to do so on April 1, 2012. The initiative states that it wants "a special bylaw requesting that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health issue the National Organization for Positive Medicine (Federal Tax ID No. 019-64-5887) a registration to operate a single not-for-profit medical marijuana compassion center in the Town of Wakefield, MA." Reports say that supporters of the local initiative want it on a Fall 2012 town ballot.[2]
- During a hearing from the Joint Committee on Public Health, Boston resident Eric McCoy stated: "I'm almost 60 years old and the only reason I'm able to function every day is because of marijuana. I would be lying flat on a bed otherwise because of muscle spasms."[3]
The following is information obtained from the supporting side of the ballot measure:
- After testifying at a Statehouse hearing relating to the measure, State Senator Stanley Rosenberg stated: "In the petition, any physician can say they believe medical marijuana will help this patient whether or not their condition or disease was listed on the legislation. I think that's a huge loophole that creates the opportunity for rogue physicians to go into the marijuana distribution business."[3]
- Pediatrician Dr. Louis Fazen stated he would feel uncomfortable prescribing marijuana with little knowledge known about it, commenting on what he does know about the drug: "Smoking marijuana is dangerous to your health. We know that."[3]
Other perspectives
- Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley commented on the effects of the measure, but also stated that her office remains neutral on the proposal. Coakley said in an interview, "My position is if this passes as a ballot question it's going to cause a huge headache making sure it's not abused."[4]
- The Patriot Ledger stated in an editorial that the measure should be decided by voters, not the Legislature, saying, "This is an issue that we believe should be decided by the citizens of the commonwealth, not in the behind-the-scenes muscling that goes on in the offices and corridors at the Statehouse."[5]
Path to the ballot
Each of the ten original signers of the proposed measure must obtain certificates of voter registration from the board of registrars or election commission in the city or town where they are registered voters. The certificate of voter registration must be signed by at least three registrars. These certificates and the original petition must then be submitted to the Massachusetts Attorney General.
Once the petition is found acceptable, the Attorney general will prepare a summary and return it and the petition to the petitioners, who must file the petition and summary with the Massachusetts Secretary of State.
Once that is submitted, petitions are printed and circulation can begin.
Circulation and submission
Backers must have collected 68,911 signatures by November 23, 2011 and turn them into local registrars. Signatures were filed by that deadline, according to reports, by supporters. Validated signatures were then returned to supporters, who had until the December 7, 2011 petition drive deadline to turn those signatures in to the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office. Supporters turned in those signatures by the deadline.[6]
Those signatures were deemed valid, leaving the proposed law to be sent to the Massachusetts General Assembly for consideration.
The proposal was filed with the Massachusetts Legislature by Massachusetts Secretary of State William F. Galvin as signatures were verified before the start of 2012.[7]
If the general assembly does not choose to make the proposal a law, supporters must then gather additional signatures to obtain ballot access. Those signatures must be obtained from about 1/2 of 1% of voters who voted in the last governor election and supporters must submit them to local clerks.
Validated signatures must then be turned in by the first Wednesday of July to the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office. Since the deadline falls on a national holiday, July 4, that deadline could be either July 3 or 5.[8]
